U. S. SUPREME COURT WILL PASS ON SEGREGATION BY AGREEMENT An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man APPEAL WILL REACH HIGHEST LEGAL TRIBUNAL EARLY IN NOVEMBER Hon. Moorfield Storey, President N. A. A. C. P., Prominent Attorney Of Boston And Louis Marshall Of New York, Will Present The Case. NEW YORK. Oct. 26. Two of the most eminent lawyers in the United States will present the argument against segregation in the case, which will be heard before the U. S. Supreme Court the middle of this November. The two lawyers are Moorfield Storey, of Boston, President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Louis Marshall of New York, eminent constitutional authority and a member of the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors. It has been arranged between Messrs. Marshall and Storey, that Mr. Marshall open the argument and present the case in length and that Mr. Storey lays the arguments of the opponents and close the case for the N. A. A. C. P. The case to be argued concerns the right of white property owners to make agreements not to sell to Negroes and to enforce such agreements at law. It is the contention of the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys that since the Supreme Court in the Louisville case of 1917 declared segregation by law or ordinance to be unconstitutional, it is equally illegal for the courts to enforce private segregation agreements. The case arose out of a sale of property in Washington situated at 1727 "S" Street, N. W., to Mrs. Helen Curtis, a colored woman. The property had previously been indicted on an agreement not to sell to Negroes. The owners who were party to the agreement went to court and enjoined the owner from selling the property and Mrs. Curtis from taking possession of it. On appeal of the case from the Supreme Court of the District of Appeals the higher court upheld the injunction. The case was then appealed to the United States Supreme Court where it is now to be heard. A formidable array of counsel resulted in the N. A. A. C. P., will assist Messrs. Storey and Marshall, Arthur B. Spingarn, Vice-President of the N. A. A. C. P. and Herbert K. Stockton, prominent attorney is a member of the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., both of the New York are associated in the case as are James A. Cobb; member of the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors, Chairman of Legal Committee of the Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and leading attorney for the appellants: Henry E. Davis, former U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia; James P. Schick of counsel for Mrs. Curtis; and William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States. This case is regarded as one of the most important battles in behalf of the Negro's civil rights that has ever been fought in the United States. Defeat will mean the creation of segregated districts for Negroes throughout the country and the relegation of colored people to the position occupied by Jews in Russia in the days of the "palo" or prison system; will mean a new affirmation of colored citizens of this country are entitled to equal accommodation and treatment; fore the law with all other citizens of the land. It has been pointed out in connection with this case that not only are Negroes involved but all minority groups of the country as well. If Negroes can be segregated the way is opened for the segregation of Catholics, Jews, Irish, Italians, or any other religious or racial minorities. "GIRLS MEN FORGET" New Heart Interest Serial Story, By Bertha May Meeks, Will Start In The Argus Next Week, Nov. 6. Why are so many men dodging the marriage issue?

You're attractive—you strive to be a normal girl, yet men don't take you seriously—WHY? "And in this story of a girls life suffering, and struggles, a young matron of St. Louis has bared her soul. She tells in words of stirring interest a story never to be forgotten. In her frank manner she says— "If my story will help one girl to realize why she is numbered among the class of girls men play with then ring aside, as it does with it. Of course the names of persons and are Sectious. Only is the mention of St. Louis a reality. For it was here I suffered most, struggled harder, and shall I say I waited and read this thrilling story beginning in next week's Argus. The St. Louis Argus K. C. DETECTIVES CAPTURE BANDIT First Negro Secret Service Men Traar Fugitive In A $3000 Hold-Up KANSAS CITY, Mo. Oct. 28-Within a month after Kansas City got her first Negro detectives, Lewis W. Foster and, Jefferson Bates, she has bowed her head in recognition of meritorious service on the part of the colored slaves. Saturday night, Detectives Foster and Bates served a victory in their first big case, when they "rounded one of the perpetrators of the Negro holdup October 17, of J. W. Rice and of the interurban station at Seventh and Grand" River avenues. From the captive they are said to have gained information that will lead to arrest of his accomplice. Furnished with only a menagerie, the detective rested James Smith. 23 years old of 100 East South Street. At the headquarters, after a grilling, they finally gained confession from the suspect. He declared that an accomplice dilled the gang robbery, while he waited at the wharf of a motor car. He had $5, he said was all that required of his charge of the loot after buying four shirts, clipping three cages, five hats, two overcots and three pairs of shoes, he making a round of many enemies. Smith had served two years at Lewiston on pernicious charges. Foster and Bates were promoted from patron of October 1, at the request of Lincoln R. Toyne, chief of detectives. This raise was due to their fine record as vigilant protectors of the law. Bates was highly recommended for having since-handed captured the leader of a band in a $3,300 jowel robbery. Foster captured two bundles, who had eluded the force for nearly a year. He recovered stolen silverware valued at $3,000, and arrested a man in a $29,000 hold up. ORGANIZERS GET COOL RECEPTION AT CHI. MEETING Few Facts Touching Present Situation As Affecting The Pullman Porters CHICAGO, III, Oct. 28. (Special) There has been much ado and/or much said about unionizing Negro Pullman porters recently. Philip Randolph is claiming almost a clean sweep over the territory of the New York Central District, Pennsylvania Terminal District, Boston District" and Washington District. He claims that 84 per cent of the men in these districts are unionized. But his efforts here have been everything but fruitful, and the men employed seem wary of such meetings; and instead of the advertised overflow crowds, about fifty "no severe live only have been attendances." A Few Facts To Consider As there are in the four districts above mentioned about 2,000 porters, this would mean 2,000 porters had joined. It would also mean at $5.00 a head there would be $13,000.00 in the treasury from entrance fees and striking an average of one month does an additional $2,000, which would make a total of $15,000. In Chicago handbills were circulated, calling for contributions of $5.00, $10.00, $15.00, $25.00 and $50.00, in the event that the friends and sympathizers were not able to make welcome gifts, that the money be loaned. What Becomes of Cash? If the figures as to the number of men who have joined are correct, what is the necessity for passing the hat for gifts or loans, or $15,000.00 has been "dissipated"? Either the story of the large number of men joining is untrue or something has happened in the cash. There are approximately 1,000 porters in Pennsylvania Terminal, where it is claimed 95 per cent have joined. It was stated in one of the meetings that in order to protect the men their membership cards would bear no name but only a number. A few porters in Pennsylvania Terminal man got his number being 61, which seems to indicate the claim of 95 per cent membership by putting it mildly, slightly exaggerated. Harial Monopoly The Negroes have the only racial monopoly in the world, that of Pullman perter. They have had it for 50 years, and it is the only monopoly of any kind that they have. The Company has stood by them in maintaining the monopoly, resisting efforts to impugn it. This monopoly is being imperiled. Thousands of Negroes in the professions, doctors, lawyers, clergymen. BOSTON DOWNS JIM CROWISM Doors Of Most Exclusive Clubs Are Opened To Negroes In Défiance To Prejudice BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 28. Adverse public sentiment aroused by the action of the Boston Athletic Association in barring Charles Owens, informed fullback of Boston University from the main dining room of the club at a team luncheon, has resulted in a straitchn condemnation of such discriminations by Boston's most exclusive clubs, and the apologetic withdrawal of such policies by the B. A. A. The centers of Boston's most aristocratic club life the Somerset Club, the University Club the Algonquin Club the University Club and the Boston Art Club, as an answer to the challenge of prejudice, sent sent statements that their doors were always open to a colored American gentleman. The supporter of the B. A. A. in a week way declared that the act of discrimination was a situp, and that no rule against the entertaining of colored guests exist at the club. The fiery letters of Albert C. Waffle of the Greater Boston Branch of the Equal Rights League, and the Morgan Memorial Church of All Nations, scoring the viciousness of the Jim Crowing, of a highly respectable gentleman, scholar and athlete because of his color is believed to have brought to bear considerable of the bitter disapproval of the Boston Athletic Association's act. VAUGHN PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE AT Y.M.C.A.SUN. Delivers Masterful Address On Subject "Negro Armageddon." Rapt Attention Given Speaker Throughout Discourse Pictures The Rising Tide Of Color Prejudice, But Warns Hearers Against Bitter Hate Toward Our Fellowman Before the largest audience of the season, last Sunday afternoon, at the Pine Street Y.M.C.A., Attorney (Geo. L. Vaughn delivered a masterful address from the subject, "The Negro's Armageddon." From the first sentence to the closing Mr. Vaughn hold the rapt attention of his audience. So deep was the interest which he created until a member of the audience wanted to know if Mr. Vaughn was going to deliver a series of lectures during the season. The following letter from the management of the Y.M.C.A. is expressive of the general sentiment of those who heard the address: October 26, 1925. Attorney George L. Vaughn. 2348 Olive Street. St. Louis, Missouri. My dear Mr. Vaughn: This letter comes as an expression of our appreciation for the most excellent address which you delivered our Sunday afternoon meeting yesterday. It was a master piece and the joyful touch each member of the audience assembled sat with regret that such a message had to end. We shall look forward with a great deal of pleasure to the occasion which shall bring you to Pine Street again. With thanks for your splendid support and best wishes, I am Starting out with the well-known Biblical quotation found in the 16th Chapter of Revelations, Mr. Vaughn briefly sketched the location, of the ancient battleground of Armageddon, showing that it lay directly in the pathway of the armies of Asia and Africa which went back and forth in their efforts to impose the culture of one continent on the other or for the purpose of avenging insult. He then compared the situation confronted by the Negro in America with the crucial battleground of the ancient Armageddon. He showed that the color line was reasonable for most of the life of the Negro people in this confronting it as a tradition inherited from slavery. Behind this line, or in its various sectors, he placed Jim crowism, seragregation, mob violence, race riots, the bombing of Negro homes and churches, lack of educational facilities, the ravishment and degradation of Negro women, the MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1925 The testimony showed that Mrs. Travis was assisting in entertainment ghosts at an afternoon reception given in an apartment on Greenwood avenue, when Dr. Travis called her in the phone. Coming to the apartment a few minutes later, he had her get her wraps and accompany him. As they approached the door of the building, he shot her four times with deadly effect. A number of the guests were delegates to the League and many of those returned for the trial, testifying in behalf of the state, and making a very strong impression on the jury as to the high senator of the affair given and the excellent standing of those in attendance. Dr. Travis relied on a insufficiency for his defense and stated that when his wife failed to leave the reception as he urged, his mind became blank and he remembered nothing until after he had been placed in jail.

NEGRO LEAVES A FORTUNE TO HELP CHILDREN NEGRO LEAVES A FORTUNE TO HELP CHILDREN Aged Proprietor Of Candy Shops. Invested Pennies Found To Have Accumulated $125,000 MAYS LANDING, N. J. Oct. 28. For over a score of years a kindly little colored man greeted youngsters of the city in a worn, but dignified shop, where he sold delicious edibles that he always wanted to satisfy their appetites. In baskets are two cents a piece to huge chocolates at B. cents each. The candy shop of John W. (Dad) Underhill was known to the school children far and wide. But today the quaint little shuck bears mourning for the passing of its proprietor, and its many youthful patrons turn away from its heavy closed door in sadness. Not all is grief however, for it was revealed Tuesday in the readings of Dad Underhill's will, that the nimble candy salesman had left a good size fortune to the school children. The will, filed at Mays Landing, N. J., left an estate of nearly $175,000 to be used toward adding the school children. No one knew or suspected that the aged Negro had a vast fortune. He had genuinely his hardy candy shop unperturbed a year. Investigations revealed that he had considerable speculating in real estate. His profits in the candy business were conferred trivial. In designating the disposal of the estate the Underhill will read "spend it so that the children may enjoy the fruits of my years of labor." Underbill had no known relatives.

DIES AT 106 YEARS OF AGE CHICAGO* Oct. 28* Said to have been born into slavery 100 years ago Madison Easley, colored, of 3400 Prairie avenue, died Thursday at the County Hospital. The body was shipped to Norwalk, O. Sunday for burial. Fasley's relatives state that he was born in Henry County, Kentucky and was a slave of the Easley family. Later they say, he was freed and moved to Norwalk, where he spent the last portion of his life. It is claimed that Fasley was 17 active labor until he was 67 years old, when he was resigned and moved to Chicago. He had been living with his daughter before his death Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America The Pullman Porters B. Att Association of America, is composed entirely of Negro employees of The Pullman Company. It now has over eight thousand members throughout the United States. Canada and Mexico. Membership is entirely optional with employees. All are invited to join but there is no obligation to do so. Local lodges are maintained in the principal cities to promote the welfare, social activities and fraternal spirit of the members. The association is governed by the Grand Association, which meets annually in November at Chicago, composed of delegates from each of the local lodges. The association was organized, has grown to its present proportions and is controlled entirely by its own members. What were known as zone associations were organized in 1915 by committees in the various zones of employment. A small death benefit was provided which was found to be helpful to the families of deceased members. The first convention of the seven zone associations was held in Chicago in November of that year. In that first convention the members evinced a desire for a more closely organized association in one body to cover the whole service and to provide for sick and accident as well as death benefits. A committee on reorganization was appointed by Chairman Barnett, consisting of T. R. Webb, Denver, Chairman; Waverly Williams, New York, and Arthur Wells, Chicago, to formulate plans and to report at the next session. At the 1916 convention the report was considered but was again referred back to the committee for amendments. In 1917 the committee's report was adopted by the convention, but was rejected by the porters in a referendum vote. In 1919 another committee on reorganization was appointed composed of the same membership as the committee appointed in 1915 with the addition of W. H. Deaverney, New York, and Perry Parker, Cincinnati. This committee, after conferences continuing over several months, submitted to the convention of 1920 the present plan as embodied in the Perry Parker, Grand Chairman O. E. Robinson, Grand Secretary T. R. Webb, Comptroller J. W. Duncan, Treasurer History of the Association constitution and by-laws of the association which were formally adopted by delegates of the several zones in November 1920, and became operative February 1, 1921. The general supervision or direction of the association is vested in a Board of Directors elected by the Grand Association, the latter being composed of delegates from the local lodges. The membership of the present board is—Perry Parker, Cincinnati; T. M. Blanton, Philadelphia; J. M. Sexton, New Orleans; R. L. Williams, San Francisco; I. F. Smith, Chicago; S. J. Freeman, New York, and T. A. Crenshaw, St. Louis. Perry Parker is Grand Chairman of the Association; O. E. Robinson, Grand Secretary; J. W. Duncan, Treasurer, and T. R. Webb, Comptroller. All financial matters are in charge of the comptroller. All money received is deposited in banks to the credit of the Association and can be disbursed only by voucher issued by the secretary and checks drawn by the treasurer and countersigned by the comptroller. All officers are paid by the Association from Association funds, and are responsible only to the Board of Directors and to the Grand Association. The Pullman Company has nothing whatever to do with the funds except to assist in their collection. It co-operates and assists the officers in their work, but has no voice in the disbursement of funds or the management of the Association. During the last three years a new element has entered the Association through the opening of the repair shops to Negro employees. Several thousands of our people are here employed and many of them have become members of the Association. Since the Association was organized in its present form in 1921, 386 death benefits aggregating $330,133.11 have been paid to beneficiaries of deceased members; 7,733 sick and accident benefits aggregating $194,341.77 have been paid to members, making total disbursements for benefits amounting to $524,474.88. The assistance thus rendered to needy dependents and to members and their families in times of distress is incalculable. The Association is doing active earnest work for all of its members and is receiving the hearty co-operation and support of every one. OF AMERICA PAGE THREE Week Beginning Monday, Nov. 2 BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE 23rd and Market ADMISSION PRICES CHILDREN GENERAL ADMISSION RESERVED SECTION BOX SEAT SECTION PAGE FOUR CROWDS JAM BOOKER FOR BESSIE SMITH AND BAND, ALSO THREE OTHER STAR ACTS The Booker Washington Theatre broke all records for the year, Monday night, when it was necessary to give four crowded shows to satisfy the rush of patrons.

Miss Smith, who has won fame as a record blues artist, is supported by a red her jazz band of seven pieces and a female dancer. With this setting she just about "puts it over" on the "profess" in her time. The net opens with a jazz introduction by the lead. Miss Smith is the heard in "Careless Love." The musicians follow with another pop number that has individual features. "Second Fiddle" is the star's next number and she is followed by a girl member whose song and dance "Silly Me" are fun and graceful. After another instrumental jazz selection, the company closes with Miss Smith's singing. "To Get Van Carrie," in which she takes a compliments part in the dancing with the young lady's artist, assistance. The net goes over in whipping. Long and Jackson, two snappy young fellows, are the captain gables. They arrive on the "South Bound Train," and after singing and dancing indulge in a few good jokes. Their song, "Georgia Cabin Door," is accompanied by a team dance that, with a rhythm dance, and they close with a rythmic dance, which has full of notion and a titting elbow. Clifford Ross is an overheard singer. His opening, "I See You In My Dreaming," followed with a dream with tits him just right with the audience and the balance of his work is easy. He has a humorous monologue, slips "Unexpectedly," does some wittery talking and then closes singing "You've Got To Know How" tapping it with a combat dance. Little Bits and Yonder, a supreme dancing act, is third on the bill. They opening takes the house by storm. Yonder, the made member, then offers a whirling buck dance and is followed by *Little Bits* "singing "Sweet Georgia Brown" and closing some of the dancing that has made her a stage favorite. Yonder's "Charlesion" danced to the limit is a big winner. Their final number, "Melbourne Bound," has a dance that is full of action and leaves the audience in a storm of applause.

The story is a melodramatic comedy and the picture sayings between house dramatic situations and homosexual incidents, with gorgeous spectacles of life on the Riveria as colorful background for the musical story. Evelyn Brent in "Three Wisconsin" will be the Sunday feature. It is a story with an unusual angle and a delightful human appeal. To tell it in install would require too much space. Suffice to say that the activities of the three crooks, whose witness may sometimes be in question despite the title, when they are formed by circumstances to hide away in a "thick" town from the unwelcome at- tributions of the police are not only thrilling but very funny as well.

Win Fairbanks, and Edith Roberts in "Speed Mad" will be the Wednesday special. Tom Moore and Eileen Perry in "Under the Rudge" will be the attraction on Thursday and Friday.

By Chancey Townsend Associated Negro Press That the rich, racial heritage of the Negro is no more convincingly expressed than in his dramatic art is the contention set forth in an article, "Growth of the Negro - Theatre, " in this month's "Theatre, Magazine" by Eric Walrond, prominent New York newspaper man and frequent contributor to "Vanity Fall" "Opportunity," and a number of other magazines. The Negro is creating a dramatic art of his own, the article points out; one that is as typically racial as the French comedy or the American melodrama is racial. The drama as a medium of expression in which the struggles, tragedy, and strivings of a race may be portrayed has long been realized by Negroes and the rapid development of a purely racial drama is conceived by critics and students of the theatre alike, the writer contends. Paul Robeson, Florence Mills, Shetton Brooks, and Sissle & Blake are the representative examples in whose performances this particular racial strain is today being expressed he says. The number of Negro dramatists is increasing, many of whom are expert craftsmen. "When I think of Negroes writing plays," the writer argues, "which I feel sure will some day THE ST.

NOVEMBER 5 The Season's Supreme Sensation With J. HUNT MADGE BELLAMY WALLACE McDONALD ETHEL CLAYTON AND MANY OTHERS Sumner Shows Power, Downs Alumni 14 to 0 Wilson And Dickerson Make Maroon And White Touchdowns. Baker Scores Two Drop Kicks. (By Milton Wilkins) The "Fighting Blood" or the Sunnen High School football eleven carried her through to a decisive victory over the heavy and experienced alumni team by a 11 to 0 score last Saturday. Every play indicated that the alumni players were well shod. They excelled the regulars in weight and strength but not in speed and science. Conchies Beckett and Lewis have won the faith of the Sunnen backers in producing such able winners. Scores were made in the first and final quarters. Wilson. Summer's formidable guard, scored in the initial period, when he carried pump by Dickerson, when the alumni teamman, received the ball dropped it. Dickerson scored in the last quarter on a right end run on a deceptive play. Ellijah Baker, quarter exhibited old time form in scoring two after moments on drop kicks. The alumni won the toss-up and chose the east goal, where the ground was driest. Hudlin Green initiated his season by kicking off to the Alumni's 35 yard line. Larkins, the Alumni's quarter and captain of Summer's squad four years ago received the ball and was tackled by our soldier boy tackler, Casey Quentin. After this the Alumni players showed their prowess in a series of line plunges and end runs. Lane, fullback and Smith, half, making considerable gains. But the Summer stone-wash began operating stopping the attack. The Alumni lost the ball on downs. Summer played a fierce offensive here. Dickel starring in many long runs for considerable gains. Summer punished the ball out of the territory. They fought almost at a stand-still, the ball shifting back and forth neither team getting as near as the 92 yard lines. Mother Fortune smiled upon the Maroon and White boys when, after Dickerson punted on the last down, the safety man, Payne Thomas, touched the ball on the bounce but failed to hold it. The ball for all serum for the ball until it was pushed over the line and the Maroon and White Jersey of Al Wilson was seen at the bottom of the pile-on with a smile of defiance—a characteristic of every loyal Sumnerite. Our reliable quarter drop-kicked the goal with and after about the hand—a half of play, the wristble blew for the Sumner emerging by a 7-0 score. In the second and third quarters a renewal of the stubborn fight was seen. The Alumni grinders failed several times to make forward passes. One starring play, the second quarter by Lyon Smith, Alumni five yards, grabbed one of Sammer's thirteen passes and gained about 5 yards. Horn substituted for Blackshear and "Pinky McGee," the time plunger, substituted for Hullia Green in the third quarter. Hullia Green back in half, the backshoot in tackle in the third quarter. After a series of end runs and line plunges, in the final lap, the Maroon and White squad advanced as far as the enemy's 15 yard line, the left side being Sunner's son of attack. The defense should be to the left side before the team received the ball making the final score for the first. Baker again displayed excellent control in drop-kicking for the extra point. After about three minutes more of play the whistle blew ending the game. Sunneg victor 14-9. Va. Normal Holds Hampton By Thomas W. Young HAJMPTON, VA. Oct. 28- Fighting visually against seemingly hopeless odds and with their backs against the wall, in the apparently fatal third quarter of their game here, takes with Hammond, Institute, the Hilltopers of V. N. L. I. hold their opponents on their feet, line for downs and stared off defeat for a press tie. Both teams struggled plumplessly through the four quarters. Hamilton displaying brilliant aggresiveness near the middle of the field and Petersburg exhulting stone-wall defence in trying moments when the Seasisters had wedged their way down into the other's territory. Baker, of Petersburg, showed wonderful form as an accuracy and distance kicker, and except for two or three blocked punts, kept the topper; out of serious danger. Hiring to hit his skidle creep beginning with his first strike, the opening of the field which sailed 85 yards across the field. He attempted several distance kicks barely missing the uprights, one falling short of the bar by in hes only. Epps and Sayles showed merit in the backfield. For Hampton, Vosburgh Hargrove, and Baker, brother of Petersburg stellar general, performed the kicking duties enviably. Hargrove also exemplify his abilities, as he passer with his wolverine transfer in crucial moments affecting long distances on the receiving end of the Seasiders' aerial attack was brilliant, and as a ground-gatherer he approached the feats of W. D. Williams who probably performed best in this department'. On offence and defence "Wild Man" Lee, in the was in every play, winnings were easily in the hearts of all that watched him in" his remarkable ex- Lincoln U. Plays Roger Williams At Chi.

Georgia White Man Says Jazz Is Product Of Turkey Proton News Service ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 28—In an open letter to the Atlanta Journal Charles Astin, of College Park, Ga., does not agree with those who claim that Jazz music is a product of the American Negro. A few weeks ago Percy Grainger, a distinguished American philanthropist returned from an extensive tour of Europe and reported that jazz music was exceedingly popular throughout Europe. Mr. Grainger says: "Jazz is the natural music of America, and owes its popularity to its thorough originality, and is the musical offspring of the American Negro. Mr. Astin says: "The statement that jazz music originated with the Indians and Negroes is wrong. There is no such joy of long, luxuriant tresses. Do as most up to date women do, permit Madam C. J.

Challenger Of Dempsey Is Awarded Technical Knockout When Seconds Throw Towel Into Ring NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 26, 1982 Wills made a quick disposal of Fledgell Johnson. Iowa heavyweight. Monday night. The brown pawner won a technical knockout over the former white title contender. After only two minutes of fighting in the first round of a scheduled 12-round match, Johnson's seconds threw in a towel stopping the fight, to the bewilderment of 1000 wild-eyed fans. "Fake! Fake! Fake!" resounded from the ring-side as Johnson was conveyed from the ring. But while recuperating from his brief experience with the titanic manager Wills, he declared, "I was punished; drunk Wills' left; caught me in the right side of the neck, and left me dizzy. I didn't know where I was." An account of the clash between the "brown panther" and the "bulldog of the West" runs as follows: Wills smiled, started at his feet, they taped each other lightly and sparred for a half a minute. Wills let go a dike to the body, sending Johnson to the ropes. They clenched. Wills sent a stiff right to the jaw, cabsing his opponent to stagger and play off on the defensive. Wills got over a left to the law, scribing Johnson to the middle of the staggering right before he in Johnson's hand and body. Johnson throw out his arms blindly as he shuffled away from the attack to the middle of the ring. Here the seconds intertwined and threw in a towl.

The only music was a muffled drum, the dancers smoking krayaway shrieks and groans. The Turkish government passed a law against the Jazz anthems in 1825. "The word jazz has never been and never will be in a musical dictionary. The nearest approach we have had staged in this country to jazz was presented by Lewis Morrison in the 'hell' scene in Faust. "The Indians had a war yell or cry but their music was in a way, very pretty and attractive. When cut canes are offered length and tied, they pass these across the lower lip and blowing into the canes—whooping now and then to produce a sound which the canes could not produce. "In 1838, at the suggestion of I. I. Orchard, Dvorsak wrote me from New York for some of the Negro meadows and I furnished him eighteen original malodies. I have since found out that the Indians started some of these. Dvorsak did not use any of the 'Malodies' I sent except to color the N. World Symphony. "When I was seven years old an old Negro Woman, 103 years old, told me the sounds of the Indian quills. That was 52 years ago. so I have 153 years to go on in my knowledge or what I say. This old woman was born a month after her mother handed her from Africa. She died in the Campbell Center poultry house in 1872. "The Indians never used over five quills, and they were in a minor key, the second note being flat. Their phrases were short and swift." LOSES LEG IN ACCIDENT KANSAS, CITY, MO.

We were men—strong men—men who have no odds of the mobs; but will face the truth without Simultaneously with the announcement of his selection as a member of the Republican National Committee of Georgia, comes an editorial in the Atlanta Independent, of which Davis is editor, flirting with the Klan. After quoting from the announced principles of the Klan, the independent comments thus: "We do not see how any American, black or white, could object to this declaration of principles". Technically speaking, we do not object to the Klan telling just what it stands for. Forewarned, forearmed! But we do oppose, despise and defraud the spirit of the Klan. In the same editorial, the Independent puts the Klan on par with all other secret organizations, by saying: "there are bad men in all organizations." We regret to note that B.J. Davis is taking such a position relative to the Klan. He says he "approved not disapposed" the Ku-Klux Klan. This puts him in the class, with those who are "neither hot nor cold". It seems rather strange that Mr. Davis, with his reputed intelligence, does not know the reputation of the Ku-Klux Klan throughout the land. If he knows the Klan's reputation and does not know whether he is for or against the Klan, then he is mentally weak! If he does not know the Klan's reputation, in this country, then he is ignorant and unit for leadership. This is no time for the 'middle-road leadership'. This is no time for indecision on these most important issues. We need right through here men—strong men—men who have no fear of the rattle cries of the mobs; but will face the truth without a blink.

With the good common sense that the porters, as a whole, have, it is hardly expected that the representatives of the union will get far with their efforts. It looks to us as though the unions have waited until these workers have, through their own efforts, established themselves in their own organizations, and are satisfied; then want to step in and break up this peaceful relation between these workers and their employers. Of course, everybody knows that should the unions succeed in getting the men to "come in," the next step will be to call a strike—and put all of those who have joined out of their jobs, much to their disadvantage. There are thousands of men today out of their jobs who went out on strikes and did not get back and never will. The strike sets men against men in a deadly conflict. The writer has in mind right here in St. Louis just a few years ago, when an attempt was made to unionize ear cleaners, etc. "Not half of the men 'tell for it.' But those who did join were ordered to 'strike.' Some of them were made to believe that she next duty was to make the others strike too at all cost. As a result, blood was shed and lives were lost. Most of those who went out then are still out. Therefore, the Pullman Porters are hereby warned to keep their jobs. Those who would induce you to lay down jobs are a rule, the most heartless sort. They have nothing to give their fellow workers but a lot of talk. They own no railroads, neither do they command merchant marine ships. They operate no steel foundries, neither do they give employment to freight handlers. Therefore, the porters, who have a monopoly on their jobs ought to laugh at those who seek to disturb them and separate them from their living. Think, think for yourselves and don't let anyone deprive you of the right to work when and where you please.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has published a report, showing that ninety women have been lynched in the United States during the past thirty-six years. The alleged causes of the lynchings range all the way from assassination to murder. The strange thing about the report is that none of the women were charged with rape, (the coin word, stock in trade for the justifiers of lynching). This report, it seems to us, should act as an eye opener to the prejudiced mind, as well as give the lie to those who claim that rape is the cause of lynching. Another interesting feature about this report is that sixteen of the ninety lynched were white women. This is just a little higher per cent of white women, as relates to women lynched that the percentage of white men lynched as relates to men, during the past thirty-six years.

Every law abiding, liberty-loving citizen of this city, be they white, black, Jew or Gentile, ought to join the Association in its fight against this un-American practice. But under the present circumstances, this light should appeal especially to the Negroes of this city, for they suffer most on account of segregation. Just how some of the so-called leaders among us can go to and fro, apparently unconcerned about the results of this practice against us, we confess, is beyond our understanding. We wonder what they think? They are always ready to enjoy the benefits that come to them through the efforts and sweat and blood of others; but will not do one thing themselves. They will give neither time nor money. They seem to forget that every time a Negro is lynched in rural Missouri or Arkansas, it is a blow at their rights as citizens.

THE EVILS OF SEGREGATION AND HOW SHOULD BE REMEDIED To the Editor of The Argus: The fangs of prejudice and the evils of segregation are gradually emerging into a dark cloud of gloom, which in circling around the Negro of today is constantly removing from his mind, the glories and future rewards which were to be lost as a remuneration for the work as a unselfishly rendered to make America safe of Democracy, and a prosperous and progressive nation. He is beginning to think that the deeds exhibited by him in the past for the welfare of our nation, when it was young and about to pass beyond the oblivion, 'should guarantee him protection at this time, and even merit the protection he has not received, but which has been made possible by people ago. The rational minded people of the nation should be mindful of the existing circumstances, and take the necessary steps and precaution to remedy these conditions before they reach a serious stage, and in doing this they will make good the promises given the Negro by giving him the protection in reality that should be rightfully his, and remove this burden by placing an album on the record of Christian America.

The $25,000 drive launched by the Fisk University Alumni the country over, is well under way in St. Louis. It will be remembered that the, $1,000,000 endowment fund given Fisk University will not be in force until the school's interest in the $25,000 expected to raise $25,000 of the entire indebtedness. When the alumni has raised its quota, a similar amount will be given by Paul D. Cravath of New York City. The St. Louis Fisk Club solicites the aid and cooperation of all friends of the school, raising the $4,000, which St. Louis is asking the students' cards may be secured by calling Mrs. George W.

Oct. 28—A move to starve out the colored workers of this city is believed being attempted here. The growing difficulty for the colored man to obtain ordinary jobs has aroused considerable speculation. One individual went so far as to write to an outstanding publication, the "Try asking that it foster plans to organize to overcome the barriers." Devoted to a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events By GORDON H. SIMPSON Executive Secretary. Urban League of St. Louis Helping The Other Fellow One of the duties which rests upon every individual, no matter how well he is blessed with this worlds, goods, is his responsibility to help the other fellow, who be cause of sickness, accident, death and other unavoidable causes, may need material assistance. In the case of alms or so-called charity, through gifts to organizations which took care of the sick and unfortunate, or through the charities of the church. In more recent years however, there have developed thru out civilized countries, organizations which have as their purpose the relieving of suffering, sickness and distress, as well as the rehabilitation of persons who have been injured or maimed or killed wonderful people and known as "Social Work." Each organization wont out to the community asking for money in support of its work. This meant that many different appeals were made for as many different organizations doing social work, at many different times during the year. To overcome this duplication and waste, and to have more money for relief of suffering organizations that act as artificial agent for a number of social service organizations. Such organizations are known as "Community Funds" on "Community Chests." In St. Louis, the Community Fund has in its membership over 56 charities and philanthropies, if of which are rendering service to thousands of people through child care, family welfare, health, reformation and community service types of social work. In this number are included: organization working directly with colored people such as the Colored Old Folks Home, Colored Orphans' Home, City Hospital, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A. and the Urban League. In addition, to this are a large number of the other agencies which do only part of their work among colored such as the Provident Association, Visiting Nurse's Association, Children's Aid Society, American Red Cross, County Wellness Association, Derby Family Skin Association, City Hospital, Barnes Hospital, Missouri Association for the blind, Missouri Hygiene Association, Purp Milk Commission and Social Service Exchange and others. To meet the financial needs of these 50 agencies doing constructive social work, the Community Fund will make an appeal to the citizens of St. Louis in its 4th campaign, November 13 to 23, when it is expected that the "Big Heart" of St. Louis will respond with an amount in the neighborhood of $170,000. Colored St. Louisians in the past have responded liberally during the campaign and a large number of the subscriptions made have been paid. This year, that part of the budget of the organization serving only colored people to be paid by the Community Fund will amount to nearly $70,000. Of this amount, Colored St. Louisians will be expected to pay a fair share, according to their ability to pay. This is an appeal to which no thoughtful citizen can turn a deaf ear. If this large city wide organization, of which we are a part, and the community share alike with every other organization in the city, is to succeed, we must do our part. "Suppose nobody cared!" Let your answer be, "I care."拔 up with a substantial subscription to the Community Fund for the expenses of this wonderful human service during 1926. NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS HAS FAITH IN RUSSIA NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS HAS FAITH IN RUSSIA Would Train Negro Youths In Red Diplomacy As Oure For American Tills CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 28 - One of the most startling revelations during the Negro Labor Congress here this week, was the statement that three American Negro girls and seven Negro young men are now in Russian schools taking a three-year training course for the Russian service. It was closely brought out that the Congress was considering sending several other Negro youths to Russia for training in agitating communism. Dissatisfaction with the social conditions confronting the race in America and leadership in tackling the Negro question were the qualifications stressed in selecting candidates for Soviet schooling. Wood Whitman, head of the congress, explained. Whitman represented radicals at the Communist internationale in Moscow. The congress is composed of forty groups in this country. APPOINTED R. R.

Party Lines Being Erased In Local Affairs. KU KLUX KLAN IS DOMINANT FACTOR Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON: D. C., Oct. 28. The time of the fall elections is at hand. Interested centers for the most part in New York where the Republics are making stern efforts to get under the wire with a Mayor, and Tammany, running true to form, declares "there's nothing to it but the count." Tammany plays a practical game—that's why it seldom loses. This is widened this year by the amount of publicity and organization work it is doing in the Harlem District, where Colored America is forth in largest numbers. In publicity, not only has the old Tiger organization told its stories in local newspapers, but it has gone out since and brought its story to the people through others, and in no mean way. Republicans have gotten a last minute hustle on themselves, and have begun to cooperate, but it looks like Fred Morrison and his "year round organization" have sent them to the jump, Tammany is as strong in many ways, in its racial organization in New York, under Morrison, as the Referee under the United States, under the indomitable Edward H Wright, man of iron and man of the hour. There is no election in Chicago this fall. Local Elections Erasing Party Lines Through 'independent hammering,' it has been demonstrated that local elections in many communities are cross party lines. This has become so extended, that in practically all of the larger cities of America, north all political organizations are making their appeal to all voters. The Klux issue has become a dominant factor in some communities. This is notably true in Detroit. The present incumbent, Republican, is hoping to be reelected. He is opposed by a man who is being openly supported by the Klux organization. The present housing situation in Detroit has intensified matters, and much interest in the outcome is maintained. Over in Cleveland, Ohio, where they have what is known as a preferential election law, there are three presidential candidates for places in the council. Thomas W. Fleming, who has been in that body for twelve years, is fighting to remain. Dr. E. L. Gregg and Chayborne George, attorney, and local president of the N. A. A. C. P., also candidates. It is possible for all three of them to be elected, under the district plan, and each one is putting up a strenuous fight. Because of recent events in Indiana, where a democratic United States Senator died, and was replaced by a Republican, Internet has been directed to the Hoosier state. Last year, it will be remembered. Colored Indiana, in no uncertain way, voted for the Democratic ticket, because it was claimed, that Gov. Jackson, the Republican candidate, was the "candidate for the Klux." It will be remembered that the stuntion was so intense, that the late former Lincoln Johnson, who always campaigned in Indiana, was shut out of a church, and had to speak on the street. There has been a marvelous right about face since then. Practically all of those, including avowed Democrats of long standing, have returned to the Republican old fad. Gov. Jackson has practically repudiated the klan, and his praises are being racial voters. In the change that his son about, there are two notable instances of the most broken men against the Republicans has had. Rev. Charles Summer Williams, who has been pastor of the famous Bethel A. M. E. Church for more than eight years. Among all the disfellowshied things of the year, this was most distasteful to Senator James E. Walson of Indiana, who had known Williams for many years, and had cultivated his political friendship. Senator Olsen is known to have murmured certain things. During the recent annual meeting, he pleas of Dr. Williams' friends have been remitted to a church out in Kansas by Bishop Vernon, a former register of the U. S. Treasury. The other instance has to do with William Jackson, "Big Jack," a well-known figure in Indiana politics for years. He was publishing the Indianapolis Ledger, a legacy from the John Howard, and at the time of the indictment, one of the most successful newspapers in country. Jackson supported the now Gov Jackson to such an extent that his newspapers were boycotted, and he later was compelled to cease publication. This year he has seen all of his old enemies return to the Republican ranks, heard them praise Gov Jackson, and latest, the Governor appointed Arthur R. Robinson for United States to succeed the late Senator Rabbit, known that the new Senator is an outspoken friend of "Big Jack." That's that. This story may as well be concluded with a slant toward Indiana. Next year two United States Senators must be elected from the Hoosier State. The chances are that both in the primaries and the election, it will be the most bitterly contested periods Indiana has seen in years Senator Watson may be opposed by former Senator even though it was urged for the Raison appointment. eridge, it is recalled, defended the now Postmaster General New for nomination, and was in turn defeated by Senator Raison. In all of the coming events Colored Republicans will have a most important part.

LISTS AIDS OF INST. Strengthens Home And Citizenship, Helps Church, Promotes Better Race Relations. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 38 — Addressing the International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of the United States, and Canada here Saturday; President Coolidge, stressed the need of more home control through parental action among the youth of, this country. The shifting of the respon-sibilities of the parents to other agencies was deplored by the president and blamed as responsible for matching the youth of America. Through his speech the chief executive lauded the service of the Y. M. C. A. to the youth. The address of the President was as follows: Mr. Chairman, members of the convention: This gathering has brought together from nearly all the American States and Canadian Provinces the lay leaders of what has come to be a great world movement. It is a body representative of Young Men's Christian Association, not only of large and small cities, and of the town and the country, but also in institutions of learning, centres of industry, at the convergence of railroad systems, in army and navy posts and stations and among our colored population. Wherever there are young, men these associations recognize that there is a field for their activities. This is one of the oldest international conventions that are held on this continent. For more than the allotted span of three-score years, and ten it has been-in existence, forming one of the strongest bonds of common interest between the provinces and the States. It illustrates, in a most striking way that the influences of men bonded together to do good tends to increase rather than to diminish. The lay forces of these two great North american powers, in their unified efforts to preserve the faith, have not only seen their power gradually exerted but it reaches an innumerable host, but have also seen it contribute to a greater harmony of interests between the neighboring nations. Since 1851, when the first international association included only the beginnings in Boston and Montreal. The movement has spread over the earth until now it includes 9,000 branches in more than fifty different countries, with an active membership of 2,000,000, not including other members of the globe. Their ideals and their last contact, have broadened their vision, raised their ideals and strengthened their character. One of the greatest services which our country has rendered to humanity has been in providing almost entirely the initiative, leadership and training of the members who have carried the associations into nearly every corner of the globe. It must be apparent that such a far-reaching success, running over so long a period of time, could not have been accomplished unless it was making an important contribution to society and was in harmony with the vital forces of progress. Institutions which are not useful decline and perish as quickly as which must adapt to the needs of their population which increase and multiply. Time tests one every appeal and proposal, but rejecting all others, grants and adopts only those which contribute to the breadth and value of life. It could only be because it was recognized as performing a most notable service that this movement, lasting so long and spreading so far, could have reached for present strength of virility. This movement has brought into existence and organized one of the greatest lay forces that the world has ever seen. One of the chief characteristics of Christianity is that it is a militant and crusading faith. Those who have become partakers of its inspirations and its consolations, since it first began, its early march over the hostile territory of the Roman Emperor, have been constantly spreading its truth been constantly spreading its truth among all people. If that work must maintain its vitality that work must go on. It is not enough that there should be action in the pulpits—there must be reaction in the news. It will not be sufficient to have failed preaching by the clergy unless there is exalted living by the laity. Your Christian associations represent a practical effort to genize and augment the field of faith to translate the truths of religion into the life of the people. It is increasingly true that the hope of the future lies in the youth of the present. Probably no other group of young people influence upon the young people as that which you represent. It stands as a direct challenge to materialism. It is a constant assertion that there is something more than the things you represent. LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE.

LEGION TO ASK MANY CHANGES Disability Pay, And Insur- WASHINGTON, D.-C., Oct. 28—Many new laws have been drawn up by the American Legion for presentation to Congress (for enactment. The most important measures are as follows: "It has been found that a great injustice has been done the dependents of the deceased veterans through the interpretation of the law placed upon Sections 601 and 602 requiring them to make lengthy and objectionable affidavits as to their dependency. "Congress will be asked to strike out in its custody any proof of dependency. Likewise, the $60, being the bonus paid to men on discharge, should not be deducted from payments made to dependents of men who were killed in action and who therefore never received the benefit of this charge bonus." "Congress will also be asked to clarify the law with regard to the man who makes out his application, mails it, but dies before it is received by the Veterans' Bureau. Court ruling of the Comproller General the dependents or beneficiaries of such a deceased veteran have been denied the full amount of the adjusted service certificate and limited to the amount of the adjusted service credit." The recommendations to Congress involving the care of disabled veterans will call for a rating of permanent and total disability for all active tubercular patients, and a rating of 50 per cent permanent disability in the case of arrested tubercular cases; an extension of the period for insurance conversion; the right of disabled veterans 60 per cent their insurance without priority; creation of a permanent hospital in the Department of Breast and the removal of limiting dates on rehabilitation. An effort will also be made to have passed a law which in time of war would give the Government the power to draft the resources as well as the man power of the nation. Another measure will be a bill for the retirement of disabled emergency officers, and another proposition, which if enacted, will make it mandatory on appointing officers to give civil service positions to eligible veterans who have passed examinations and stand at the head of the lists. LYNCHINGS HAVE CLAIMED 90 WOMEN SINCE 1889 NEW YORK. Oct. 28- According to reports compiled by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, for October, 1925, there have been 90 women lynched in the United States since 1889; of this number 74 were colored and 16 were white "Old Mississippi" leads with a total of 16 her last feminine victim being in Pickens County, in 1923. Mississippi holds two lynching "honors." She has, lynched more women than any other state of the Union, her closest rival being Texas, with 11; and the last woman lynched in the U. S. was lynched in Mississippi. Texas has lynched 2 white and 9 colored during this year. In 1895 Texas broke all records by lynching 6 women; 2 white and four colored. No state of the Union has lynched as many women in one year. The St. Louis \ Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1925 VISITOR TELLS OF JIM CROW AT STATE CAPITOL Conditions Worse Than Under Any Previous Administration. G. O. P. Blamed For Insult To Taxpayers In State House JEFFEISON CITY, Mo. Oct. 28—At the Capitol restaurant, visit taxpaying, colored Missourians, as well as elevator and other colored employees are openly Jim Crowed right in the State's Capitol at the public cigar and entails that should be public to all decent and orderly human beings, especially to all Missouri citizens. We are told it is under the Highway Commission, which rents the stand from the Permanent seat of Government, the colored citizens are now told that they must bring their individual tu cups and come early before the rush of white clerks, white jinters and scrub and fabricks and other white patrons wanting sandwiches and coffee, and that the colored must take their inacks and eat away from the Capitol public stand. This is Missouri and not Arkansas. Missouri, largely through Negro suffrage, is under the G. O. P. rule. This is even worse than hitherto under Democratic control of the Capitol. Those now in control, calling themselves friend-patting Negroes on the back and proaching Abraham Lincoln, and professing justice and square dealing in campaign and election years, and thereby succeeding in hood-winking and deceiving thousands into believing that only Democrats are enemies and would Jim Crow be axed and taxpaying it in Missouri. It will have to be won. The freedom from curtisone and ward healing Negro citizens, whose hirrors are out for pay during election years, will get around for small stipends a few weeks and drive, most colored-voters to support scalawag, Ku Klux Kepi Elections on the ground that Democrats only would disfranchise, segregate and lynch Negro Americans. Conditions at the Capitol for the relatively few mentally employed colored helpers are now worse than ever. The thousands upon thousands of clerks, deputies and paid officials in the Highway, Health Fish and Game, Secretary of State, Oil, Treasury, and other departments are all whites. No Negro, it seems, need apply. Yet 65,000 colored voters of St. Louis, 20,000 of Kansas City, 5,000 of St. Joseph and over 50,000 in other towns, and several sections of the state are largely responsible for the turn over of parties in Missouri, but no gains for the colored people themselves. In fact more colored people are being thrown out of ordinary labor work in most towns and cities and denied the hard labor work in road building and upkeep by suburban fuges more than ever before since emancipation in Missouri. The others have all the offices from the Governor down, and seem to want all the dirt and rough labor work too. Something is needed to be done, done effectively, not only for the independence and self determination, but also to bring Missouri back to its profession of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, especially in the way of more equitable sharing in proportion to our numbers and merits as citizens. If the husband likes flappers, the wife is entitled to like sheeks. Success today is next to the impossible unless you are clever enough to evade the laws. DISTINCTIVE SERVICE FOR DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE Halloween is the eve of October 31. Though the occasion is usually given to frolics, mischief and entertainments of an hilarious nature, the name means literally "Holy Eve." In fact October 31 is the eve of the church festival of All Saints, which occurs on November 1. Long years ago people celebrated All Saints Day in honor of the good and evil spirits. The observance of Halloween in the school permits an attractive departure from the regular routine and an enjoyable program can easily be prepared. The decorations for the occasion, such as colored papers, figures of cats, witches, golds, fairies and the like, afford an opportunity for constructive work that is not with out calyx. The Party Parties always break the monotony of the Halloween'en street walkerg. The home should be choiceily 'decorated with witches, pumpkins, sketches, black cats and other decorations symbolizing Halloween'. The windows should be adorned with Jack o'lanterns. The table and library are decorated with Halloween's hobbies fitted with candy for the guests to eat at any time. "Noise makers" are also appropriate to have at their disposal. Dancing is always enjoyable at parties, but games on Halloween always make more fun. The games played with apples afford enjoyment. Game No. 1. An apple should be tied on one end of a string suspended from the ceiling or gas or electric fittures. Each person in the game should be given a limited number of trials to get the apple between his teeth and hold it while a non-contestant moves it gently from side to side or up and down to prevent the person securing the apple any too easily. This is done by pulling gently the opposite end of the string. The contestants' hands, of course, are tied behind them. Game No. 2—Place several apples in a tub of water. Bainfold the contestant and tie their hands behind them. Let them try to get the apple from the water with their teeth, giving each a limited-number of minutes or trials. The person securing an apple in the shortest amount of time or trials (or within the given time or trials) wins. Prizes might be awarded the contestants. When the guests are served, the repast, if served on the table should be served very plain, making use of paper plates and kitchen cutlery. Sandwiches should be shaped to represent various Halloween faces. Jack 'O' Jack should be an excellent pattern. The bread should be cut round, with eyes (which may be done with Frenz-3 cutters) and pimento (red) tongue and expressive eyes. Apple salad and doughnuts are appropriate. If the repast is served to the guests in the parlor, the sandwiches should be wrapped in paper napkins bearing Halloween decorations. Prizes should be awarded the best dressed person at the party. The "booby" prize is often given to the person who takes the part of the comedian throughout the enjoyment. Costumes Many impersonaters carry home the trope of the best dressed person of the party or ball. Girls "often wear the Prince of Wales suit, hat, patent leather shoes and walk with a cane. They also roll paper and place it in their mouth to pretend to be smoking. Persons dressed as ghosts (spooks), old men, beggars and gargues are always attractive. These costumes are also easily made and are not expensive. SISTER SUSAN. TALK 'O THE TOWN Don't forget to write to Sister Susan. Wanted: New members and articles for publication.

The orphanage provides home, car, good food and clothing, training and specialized instruction to dependent and neglected children and those from broken homes. KLAN GIVES SEGREGATION IMPETUS IN THE NORTH NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—That the Ku Klux Klan is directly or indirectly backing segregation movements in northern cities is the charge made by Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Women, who writes on "Negro Segregation" in the current issue of "The Nation." Mr. White gives a detailed account of the events leading up to the attack upon Dr. O. H. Sweet's home in Detroit, and of the attempted terrorization of Samuel A. Browne, colored Staten Island postmaster. "With the growth of Negro population," declared Mr. White, "it is inevitable that former districts in which Negroes lived cannot possibly house them." As the financial, educational and other qualifications of Negroes are bettered, it is inevitable that they will move into districts where they have not lived before, where they can find better conditions than exists in the restricted areas. "The question which must be answered by the authorities and by decent citizens throughout America is this: "Are Negroes to be forced to resort to threats and bloodshed in order to secure decent places in which to live and rear their children?" FORD PRODUCES RECORD NO. OF CARS FOR WEEK DETROIT, Oct. 25 - The Ford Motor Company's production record moved up to a higher peak than ever the last week. Saturday showed that for the week of October 17 to 23, the domestic production totaled 49,004 cars and trucks, a record for any six-day period. The biggest day for the week, which reached a new record was last Tuesday when 8,466 cars and trucks were produced. Noise scares up the game; quiet bags it. A TRADE MAKER The Political State Of The Race To Claim Biggest Part Of Discussion. Discrimination And Segregation Also On Program Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 28—Perhaps the most encouraging political news which has developed here in the nation's capital recently is the announcement of the gathering to be held here on November 4th of leaders from practically every section of the country. This conference on the principality of the race will have personal representatives. From the leaders will either a voting population or an interest in national affairs. Arrangements for the conference which has grown spontaneously out of the general dissatisfaction of leaders and public generally are in process of completion. A twoday session is to be held ending with a banquet which it is promised will surpass infri-brilliance anything held in recent years. The conference will seek. It is said, to chart a program of political action and bring to the attention of the administration the discontent brewing in the hearts of Negroes, all over the country because of the "negligible" concern shown by the Republicans since March 4th, when it was expected that President Calvin Coolidge, ascending into the presidency in his own right, would inaugurate policies which would stop segregation and open the door of political representation and opportunity. The meeting is to be open to the Negro public the announcement reads, and men and women in every walk of life are urged to attend. Benjamin J.

FITZWATER, D.D., Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © (1925, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 1. THE FIGHT AGAINST STRONG DRINK (Temperance Lesson) LESSON TEXT—Eph. 6:10-28. GOLDEN TEXT—He strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."—Eph. 6:10. PRIMARY TOPIC—Loving and Obeying Our Parents. JUNIOR—How to Be Strong INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Strong Arsenal for a Hard Fight. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Fight Against Strong Drink. This is not a temperance lesson in the usual sense that it deals with inexplicants, but in the sense that it has to do with the believer's walk in conflict with the devil. Perhaps there has been no time when the evil one has made such a terrific fight as he is now doing in his attempt to nullify the Eighteenth amendment. The Christian has been saved by grace. Though his redemption is free, between its beginning and consumption there is a real, severe and protracted conflict. This conflict is most difficult and dangerous because it is not with flesh and blood, but, with principalities, powers and spiritual hosts of wickness in high places. Though the conflict is severe and painful, we should battle battle on because the issue is sure if we go forth in the anarchy of God. I. The Source of the Believer's strength (x. 10). It is—in the Lord. Only as the branch is united to the vine, or as a limb is united to the body, is there strength of life. We dare not attempt his conflict in human strength and wisdom. II. The Enemy (vv. 11-12): The enemy is the devil, a personal malicious being, with his many subordinates. His personality is proven by the names given him, and actions predicated of him. He has an exalted position, and is mighty in power, and all unsaved men are under his power. He is the original sinner, and is extremely cunning. He has power over death; enters into men; blinds their eyes; tauntsaries for them, and sifts God's servants. In carrying on his work, he has his churches and ministers. However, he is resting under a curse. The death blow was given on the cross, and he will receive his doom in the lake of fire. III. The Christian's Armor (vv. 13-17): This means that his weapons of offensive and defensive warfare are not of man's devices. Just as his strength is from the Lord, so is his armor. The believer dare not act merely on the defensive. He must attack his spiritual enemies as well as resist their spiritual attack. 1. A Girdle of Truth (v. 14). "The truth of God, sincerely and honestly embraced, alone will wail in this conflict." Benson, tradition speculation and dead orthodoxy will fail in the crucial hour. 2. The Breastplate of Christ's Righteousness (v. 14). As the metal plate covered the vital organs of the warrior, so the right-earness of Christ protects us from the enemy's assault. 3. Feet Shod With the Preparation of the Gospel of Psyche (v. 15). This suggests the firm foothold of the soldier and his alacrity—readiness to proclaim the message of peace. 4. Shield of Faith (v. 16) 4. By this he is able to quench all the fires starks of the wicked. Christ is the object of that faith. 5. The Helmet of Salvation (v. 17). Consciousness of salvation, enables a man, knowing that he is a child of God, and follow-citizen with the saints, to lift up his head with confidence and to vigorously assault the enemy. 6. The Sword of the Spirit (v. 17). This is the Word of God, the Christian's offensive weapon; with it he can most effectively put his enemy to flight. This Christ used in the temptations in the wilderness, Matt. 4:3, 7, 10:11. The church of Christ has all four triumphs by the Word of God. Where she goes on using this she goes on conquering, but when she falls back upon reason, culture, traditions, science, or the commands of men, she goes down in defeat before the adversary. IV. The Way to Get Strength to Use the Armor, and Courage to Face the Foe (v. 18:20). This is by prayer—and prayer stone. 1. Every Variety—and Method of Prayer Should Be Employed. (v. 18). 2. He Prays for His Comrades. "All 2. He Prays for His Comrades, "All the Saints" (v. 18). He sees all the believers standing shoulder to shoulder against the enemy. 3. He Is Persistent (v. 18). Some Things to Beware Of Beware of idle moments! Beware of the beginnings of evil! Above all, and more than all, beware lest you念 admit the fatal intrusion of evil thoughts. In solitude and awful earnest I would say to you, "Watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation."—Parrer. Eloquence Eloquence is the appropriate organ if the highest personal energy—Emerson.

The Italian archaeologists have been working under the auspices of the Government of Cyrenaica, the modern Italian colony, which takes its name from ancient Cyrenaica. They announced that they have proved that the famous temple of Apollo, the main temple of Cyrenaica when it was among the fairest of Mediterranean cities in the sixth and fifth centuries B. C. was originally built by the Greeks about 600 B. C. This proof was taken from a stratum of earth alongside the ruins of the temples substructure, in which the excavators found works of art dating back as far as 1000 B.

ROBINSON For Preston News Service (Pearls of the Soul) Note: Impressed by the simplicity of the little things that we mortals ask to make up what we call happiness, the following lines spontaneously burst forth. PLEADINGS I want but little here below; Nor need that little long; A little bit of song; Just a little bit of sunshine; Just a little bit of gladness; A little bit of cheer; Just to keep away the sadness; And keep the sunshine here. Just a little bit of friends; A little bit of love,— Stars that dispel the darkest gloom, Like sunbeams from above; A little bit of sympathy To case the heart's dull ache; A pleasant dream to light my sleep; Fond thoughts to charm me wake; A little bit of home's sweet bliss, The humble cottage's joys; Contentment's sweet and simple To follow it to God; And love it's flowers by the way To beautify the soul. I have the star, I have the faith; I'm climbing up to God. LOOK OUT FOR MISS 1926 MILWAUKEE.

MEMPHIS PAPER PRAISES NEGROES FOR PROGRESS --- Preston New Service **TALMORE NEWS SERVICE** **ELEVEN TOWN, Oct. 28.** - The editor of THE TOWN, Oct. 28. - The editor of THE NEGROES PAPA gives a fine tribute to the thrift, ability and industry of the Negroes of Memphis and vicinity. The editorial follows Fine Progress "Went out to the thrift, ability and industry of the Negroes of Memphis and vicinity. The editorial follows Fine Progress "We went out to the thrift, fair, fair, fair." We was amazing. The progress the Negroes have made in this territory in the last twenty-five years should be of immense joy to them and it should be bringing to their white fellow citizens. "We saw samples of needle work, dressmaking, quilting and the like that hark back to the day of excellence in work by the hand. One of the most remarkable exhibits was that of the farmer, named Davis, who lives in the northern part of the county. Every part of his grown in the territory were shown in his individual and were other individual exhibits of almost equal worth. "The Negroes have gone largely into poultry. The poultry show was made up of exhibits from this county. By the way, the wife of Farmer Davis we are informed, did a business of about $1,100 in chickens and eggs and wound up with a net profit of about $600. When a colored woman can attend to her household duties, give attention to her children and her husband and then clear $600 to boot she stands out as among the remarkable personalities of this or any other community." The work of the school at Woodstock, as shown by the exhibit, makes that institution worthy of the heartiest support of the taxayers.

It seeks to overcome the tendency of the age of profusion which is so likely to develop into a condition of luxury and pleasure, selfishness an ease, destructive of the vitality and character of society It is an effort to secure that development which only comes through action, and to strengthen the physical, intellectual and moral life by an ever active campaign against disease, ignorance, poverty and other evils. It seeks to create better understanding, to reveal young men to themselves, to show them their great powers, to direct them, info unselfish ways; to give them more self-control and broaden the whole scope of their lives. It is a most practical effort in the training of citizenship. One of the important results of all these activities is the preparation of young men to be the future heads of the homes of the people. There are too many indications that the functions of parenthood are breaking down. Too many people are neglecting the real well-being of their children, shifting the responsibility for their action and turning over supervision of their discipline and conduct to the juvenile courts. It is stated on high authority that a very large proportion of the outcasts and criminals come from the ranks of those who lost the advantages of normal parental control in their youth. They are the refugees from broken homes who were denied the necessary benefits of parental love and direction. The home is the cornerstone of the nation, and any effective better homes movement must begin with the training of the youth for those responsibilities of we shall see the disposition to attempt in some way to turn over to the Government the responsibilities for the hearing of children constantly increased. What the youth of the country need is not more control through Government action but more home control than parental action. Reach School and Industries These associations, are an effort in that direction. Through the High-Y clubs they have reached the older boys in the high schools, and through the Employed Bros. Brotherhoods they have performed important work in industrial centers. They have taken a strong hold in directing the moral and religious life in many of the State universities and the principal colleges of the country. They are introduced along nearly all the great railway-systems of the United States and Canada and are doing a most promising work among the merchant marine of our Atlantic and Pacific ports, as well as those of Europe and the Far East. Ever since the Spanish War they have maintained the principal welfare agency in the American Army and Navy. They have adopted themselves to the youth of all nationalities and races, and become an indispensable factor in multitudes of great industrial establishments, ministering through the physical, intellectual and the spiritual to the whole range of life of young men. Special emphasis is being placed upon the need of training for citizenship. Not only by the general development of character, by encouraging industry and discouraging waste, are they strengthening the community and raising up leaders, but by informing the young respecting the teachings of the New Testament and of the Hebrew prophets they are providing them with a grasp on the principles which must underline all enduring civilization. Through cunning, study circles and in open forums they are given opportunity to read and discuss the current economic, social, and political problems under the advertisement that such training is not impeded alone for personal betterment, but to prepare for a wider discharge of public obligations. It is realized that every youth is a potential lawmaker, law interpreter, and law enforcer; that in the coming days their word, their action, and their franchise will inevitably exert some ruling influence over the lot of their fellowmen. In addition to the contribution which the associations are making to the strengthening of the house of the building up of citizenship, they are a source of great assistance up the church and its work. Through their contact with students in high schools and colleges they are an important factor in interesting some of the best qualified young men in They are composed not only of evangelists, but they reach into the field that is treating disease through their physicians. They reach into the fields that is remedying ignorance through their teachers and writers, and they also reach into the field that is seeking to improve agricultural and industrial methods through their scientific and vocational experts. They are demonstrating the practical value of enlightened civilization which rests on religion. They are carrying into the life of distant peoples a true interpretation of that which we consider best in America and Canada. Besides the standards which are oftentimes none too high of those who make foreign contacts solely for the purposes of gain, go this great multitude of those who, chosen for their unselfishness, have dedicated their lives to the service of others, in order that an accurate knowledge of the true standards of our institutions and our civilization may carry their better influences to the knowledge of all the world. Humanizing Influence in Work But while that which we send abroad is important, that which we keep at home is even more important. It would be difficult to find leaders in the life of our present day who have not in one way or another come under the Influence and the teaching of our countrall associations. They speak not only from the pulpit but from the bench and the bar, from the pages of journalism and the halls of legislation. from industry and commerce and finance. These are all on a higher plane and exerting a more humanizing influence because of the results of this great work. Perhaps one of the most significant results that is flowing from all these activities is the unifying influence which they are producing. We do not all need to be alike, but it is usually more helpful and certainly more comfortable to put the most emphasis on those characteristics which we have in common rather than to dwell too much on divergences and dissimilarities. One leads to friendship and cooperation, while the other is likely to develop contention and animosity. Amid all the divergent influences that have been manifesting themselves among the different peoples of the earth in recent times, it is exceedingly reassuring to realize that there is a quiet and constructive effort on the part of a world-wide brotherhood of Christian youth for coordination and harmony. The same factor is at work in bringing together the different religious denominations. Because so many of their leaders have been accustomed to a common experience in their youth under the leadership of the associations, a sympathetic cord of increasing strength is bringing about a spiritual union of North America with the nearby countries of Latin America, Europe and the lands of the eastern churches of Russia, the Balkans and their neighboring States. When the people of different countries are finding so much on which they can agree, it is more and more unlikely that their Governments will disagree. The same influence is being cast over our domestic affairs. Employer and employee are being brought together in a common fellowship. Much is being done to diminish and disperse战 antagonism. It was the American association that established the interracial commissions, which it is generally agreed have been of great importance in the past few years in promoting better understanding and relations between white people and colored people. This example has been an inspiration to students of the problem of race relation in all parts of the world. But it is impossible to do more than sketch in the briefest way some of the outstanding features of the work of this organization that plays such an important part in molding the character of youth in all parts of the world. It is a great instrument for domestic improvement and international progress, in addition to all the local outlays, the National Council alone has a budget of over $4,000,000 for the coming year. It is difficult to imagine a field where such an expenditure could be more beneficially made. The remarkable results which this organization accomplished in Southeastern Europe in helping to restore the morale of those shattered peoples is well known to all students of that situation. The help that is likely to be given in China through the access which these associations have to the student bodies promises to be important, far-reachinging and beneficial. Wherever there is a religious work to be performed, this organization will be found doing more than its share and accomplishing most desirable results. Imbued with Belizious Charity. America has many reasons for pride and satisfaction in the spirit and character of its citizenship. It is gratifying to know that it has the resources, with which to make those outings and perform those services. We ought to be thankful in remembering that our own people do not need to receive this kind of assistance from any other people. We are able to look after our own. But that which rises above all other considerations is the fact that our people are imbued with a religious charity which makes them disposed to extend these benefits to those who are less, fortunately circumstanced at home and abroad. There are those who constantly reprove our people and our Government for an alleged failure to assist other peoples. I do not know that any one could ever say that we were doing enough, but it is my strong suspicion that those who are making the longest complaints have never taken the trouble to ascertain what we have done and what we are doing. It is gratifying beyond measure to realize how the steady courageous, generous hand of the real America continues to reach out to those in need. It stands as a conclusive answer to all censorious criticism. These works, stamp America with a continuing effort working for moral regeneration. Charles P. Taft 24 of Cincinnati was naugahi.

HOOSIT? By Robert P. Edwards Associated Negro Press 28: He was the son of Esan and Adah, daughter of Elen, the Hittite, who was a Negro. Before attaining the priesthood, he was called Ruentel. As Priest of Midian, he was the founder of a scale of law that to this day is the foundation of British and American jurisprudence. He was the father-in-law of Moses, and was of great assistance to him, who was the greatest leader of a people that the world has ever known. Hoosit? Answer to Hoosit? 27. Colonel Charles Young Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service The High Episcopal Church Speaks—A grave Episcopalian Church Congress has just closed at Earlbourne, England, at which solemn words of warning were uttered against the continued arrogance of race against race and color against color. No less churchmen than Lord Willington (twelfth), a former Governor of two prisons in India, and J. H. Oldham (whites). Secretary of the International Missionary Council, agreed in open conference, that it is impossible to continue the old policy of white supremacy. "In my view," said Lord Willingdok, "there is only one solution of the problem. The white races must realize the necessity of treating all colored men in the spirit of absolute equality and give up the attitude of color superiority. Providence long ago placed the white man in the position of a trustee, whose wards, the colored men, are now rapidly growing up. The white man no longer dominates them, even for their good. At best he can only treatify guide them just particular dangers. I honestly believe if the whitel attitude of the white to colored races could be altered, if the white man would always accept in a spirit of giving equality and opportunity to those who are colored, what appears now as an aggressive and unreasonable attitude on the part of the colored races would entirely change and they would be willing to discuss these important matters in a fair spirit, with a discourse of the difficulties surrounding them. The only one way of doing this is by always carrying into relationship with the colored races, the principles of the Christian faith, and remembering that there is a divinity who shapes our ends, rough them as we will." A Christian Indian, Shearman Singh, also addressed the Congress in faultless English, saying: "We have got to get rid of the idea that God sent the white man to rule the black. We must get rid of the white man's prestige. Not the prestige of color, but the prestige of character will count in the future." To say that the Protestant Church world, will be "rocked" by this pre-announcement of certain notables of the staid but colorful church of England is to put it mildly. Yet, of all the Protestant churches, the Episcopalian has ever been the most radical; and were it, with one forward move, to attempt to assert such a the type of Christianity as that which Lord Willington and his colleagues succeeded deserved it, might that the Christian consolators of the church would attain to form its doctrinal state and begin to practice what it has been preaching for by these many years." Building a Race— It was a rainy night and the Veteran was gleaming as we opened his door and he held aside the evening paper to bid us a graff "Good Eve." "Ladies and churches are about the only ventures into which a colored people put their whole energy, brains time and money," he said independently as he substituted his bank book for the evening news "Straight a laundry, a boot-black corporation, a cafe, or a county fair upon the cooperative plan, and you'll have the time of your life trying to get a dime investment, but just organize the Ancient and Derived Order of the Knights of St. Caliph, or the Royal Zebras League, and you'll have to hire two certified public accountants and right double entry bookkeepers to ensure straight accounts," he added with a snap. "Well, the churches are quite a necessity," he ventured to reply, timidly. "Yes, but it it's quite overdone," the veteran quickly countered. Here's where a congregation of four thousands open the doors of a $450,000 church in New York City, while all poor Sam Brown can get to keep the Staten Island Ku Klux Klan from putting him out of his home on Castleton Hill is $1500," the veteran shouted as he flashed a newspaper into our faces "Look in the next column," he added "and you will see where the Grand Legal Counselor of the Diligent Order of Stags" already getting a salary of $75 a week, has been sent to jail for fraud." "We're all wrong," the veteran continued, excitedly. "The churches and the lodges have got the economic advancement of the brethren bound and gagged; and for every twelve dollar a week dude there is behind the cash window of an insurance company, a grocery store or a shoe factory; there are fifty-seven varieties of evangelists drawing three and four thousand bucks a year for trilling us to fasten THE VOICE OF DANGER our minds on glory." "The church is all right," the veteran concluded, as we arose uneasily to depart, "and so is the lodge. The church did fine work as the Negroes' only forum in the antebellum days; but now we've got to put some dollars and sense into the race; or else Time, the Tomb builder, will catch us all without any economic overcrowd when the cold season comes; and the churches, as you know, are closed all during the week." Musical America Goes Abroad— Percy Gralinger (white), one of the world's greatest pianists, has returned from Europe with the astounding information that jazz music is popular all over Europe. "Jazz," says Mr. Gralinger, "is the natural music of America, and owes its popularity to You would rather live in the north than in the south because you are better treated here and the way upward is open to you. You would hate to have your offspring suffer the same dreadful experiences that were yours while in the southland. You can stay up north as long as you can earn an honest living. You can earn an honest living up here as long as the great manufacturers and industrial powers see fit to employ you. Steel, iron, coal and the other cardinal necessities for modern life must be produced and these great industries have been opened up to you in spite of the labor unions that seek to bar you and shut the door of opportunity in your face. Unions have barred you from most of the building trades and if the great industries had not opened up, you would have been forced to hang your head and turn your face to the land of grief and oppression. You have been able to thrive in the great industrial and railroad centers of the north and unskilled and untrained men have been able to look up to a bright horizon of life. You have caught the spirit of progress and are buying your own homes, developing your businesses and educating your children. The wealth of America gave you the chance. Should you now listen to the voice that demoralized Russia and brought starvation to millions of men, you will defeat your own purpose. Sit tight in the saddle and you will eventually work out your own destiny. The world is watching you and should you prove ungrateful to those faithful few who broke the shackles of peonage and serfdom, you will be unwise. Ten thousands of you are now earning livelihoods from the great arteries of traffic and travel the railroads. Ten thousands of you are getting closer and closer to the heart of humanity because of your faithful service and intimate contact. The railroads and the common carriers have given you a new perspective on life. Do not jeopardize your position, nor your strategic opportunity. The future is rosy for you if you are level headed. The voice of the labor union is the voice of danger, betrayal and destruction. Do not heed it. Much is in store for you, either prosperity and happiness or trouble and disaster. its thorough originality." Just how American "Selects" will take Mr. Grainger's statement is quite a question when it is considered that "Jazz" is the child of "Ragtime" and that "Ragtime" is the musical offspring of American Negroes. Thus, if Negroes are the originators of honest-to-goodness American music—and they must be, if Mr. Grainger says so—it is not strange that they are so thoroughly familiar with the pulse beats of American temperament and American psychology; for, alas, their musical product has been pifered and taken abroad to delight not only frequenters of the Parisian Montmartre, but into London Music Halls, Scandanavia, Russia and so on. When Will Marlon Cook wrote his famous "Enamulation Day" and Harry T. Burleigh assisted Anton Dovarak compose, the wonderful "New World Symphony" neither Cook nor Burleigh dreamed that, they, as American Negro muskul geniuses would later be given credit for popularizing American originality across the Alps and the Rhine. They probably believed that a European battlefield line would be the only background over which American Negroes might take some original American products to Europe, and that an army rife rather than a moning saxophone would carry their message of Americanism across the seas. Thanks to Mr. Grainger, however, credit has been given where credit is due. And our only regret is that more Americans of Mr. Grainger's hue will not take inventory over here of worthy accomplishments of their fellowmen whose ancestors were brought from the Dark Continent. Perchance such an inventory would show conclusively that additional American virtues, other than Jazz Music, have similarly become popular where thoughtful people have taken cognizance of the originality and the abilities of exemplary Americans, black, bronze, or otherwise, tinted by color. Eureka! At last we know that color prejudices also exist in the spirit world. "Walter," spiritual brother of "Margery," the psychic wonder who recently baffled the Harvard scientists with her spirit world demonstrations, made reference in spirit talk to some one "with skin like a Nigger."
