An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man VOL. XIV NO. 29. DEMOCRATS MAKE GAINS IN ELECTIONS Republicans Snowed Under In New York And New Jersey. Lose Cincinnati. Klan Beaten In Detroit. Cleveland Retains Flemming By Associated, N.Y., N. Y., U.—The Dome rats have again won in New York with generous backing of Colored citizen. Tammany plays an overstaking game in a practical way. Senator Walker won by more than 100,000 votes, but Tammany, Mayor Walker, and all the leaders will recognize leader Ferdinand Q. Morton and his famous organization through detention in Harlem and appointments Tammany spent more money in organization development. In New York during the campaign in Harlem, than the Republican National Committee spent for special organization during 1924 throughout the entire country. The proportion in Harlem was no larger than the proportions in other parts of the city, but it was just a proportion, that's the difference. Republicans have learned to count on Colored votes with such a degree of dead certainty, that they work up the interest, or attempt, with an air of condescension. Tammany goes after Harlem as an integral part of the whole—and always wins. That's the answer. New Jersey Remains Democratic New Jersey remains in the Democratic column, electing another governor. The Democrats of New Jersey, it is urged, have given considerable more attention to the rights and needs of Colfared voters than has the Republican party. Gratitude for this has been expressed in votes. The Republicans continue to wonder what it all about. "In the last analysis," according to a well known New Jersey Democrat, "the white Democrats may not care any more for a black citizen than does a white Republican, but the Democrat realizes that black votes are essential to holding office, and hence he needs accordingly." Boston gets a Republican mayor after a long wait. This should be gratifying to President Coolidge and Senator Butler, the latter being a candidate for Senator next year. Senator Butler, also chairman of the Republican National Committee, will be sent to the test of real political strength to hold his seat. He may win, but he will realize that he has been in a political contest. The Democrats "expect to again nominate former Senator David I. Walsh, whom the Colored people of Massachusetts make bond to declare in the friendly column. The secretary of the present Democratic mayor is Joshua Jones, son of Bishop Joshua Jones of the A. M. E. Church. Klan Loses In Detroit Detroit, Mich., Nov. 11—John W. Smith, Detroit's fighting anti-klan mayor, was re-elected here Tuesday by a plurality of more than 30,000 over his klan opponent, Charles Bowles. The first implication of the klan defeat came with reports from the district in which, a few weeks ago, Dr. Ossian Swet, colored doctor, had been besieged in his newly purchased home and a white man had been killed. At the election last year, Bowles had carried the district by more than four hundred votes. The return-brought in Tuesday showed him trailing by two hundred. There is great rejoicing in this city because of the defeat of the klan. Mayor Smith attributed his success to the backing of Henry Ford, who came out with an anti-klan statement, and to other big business men who did likewise; to the fatties of the klan in the last days of the contest, and to the entry of the New York World into the light. The World investigator in a series of stories disclosed that the battle of the klan in Detroit was merely the precursor of an effort to capture the entire United States. Leaders were imported from other klan centers to push the work of the klan here. The identity of these men was kept a secret. It is claimed that the organization of the klan for the struggle here was the most perfect in the history of local politics. Political leaders of the old school sat back against to look at the klan machine working. On the morning of the election, 10,000 workers were loosed to bring the householders to the booths, so that they might help to put Bowles over. Besides losing the mayoralty, the klan suffered in the council. It had selected five candidates. Four won, and the seat of another is to be contested. The composition of the new council will be five anti-klan, three klan, and one neutral. Negro and other civic welfare wishers take the klan victory with much optimism. The most bitter features of the campaign were born in charges made by Mayor Smith that the klan was employing Negroes to work against him. This charge was made immediately following the death of the white member of the mob which milled about the home of Dr. Sweet. The Friday prior to the election, Dr. Sweet, and ten others, were placed on trial for the murder of the white CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT The St. Louis Argus COMMUNITY FUND CAMPAIGN OPENS THIS SATURDAY Headquarters of Colored Division at the "Y".

Davis, member of the Ohio, Legislature, and member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, reports an attempt to cust 12 colored children from the schools of Shaker Heights near Cleveland, as an act of reprisal against Dr. E. A. Bailley, who refused to vacate his new home in that section. The children ousted came from Beechwood Village, which, having no schools of jiz own, had contracted with Shaker Heights to give schooling to all the 60 or 70 Beechwood Village children. Mr. Davis writes to the N. A. A. C. P. National Office: "preferred a mandamus suit which was to be instituted in our Court of Appeals to compel the Board of Education of Shaker Heights to carry out its contract. In the meantime the Beechwood school authorities requested the County Prosecutor to take the same action in the Common Pleas Court. I withheld my petition pending the outcome of this later suit and I am pleased to advise that on Monday the 26th, the Court issued a Writ of Mandamus against the Shaker Heights authorities requiring them to carry out the terms of this contract."

His follow workers called him fighting names causing him to lose control of himself. he stated. He alleged that he did not intend to kill, but followed an impulse and stabbed the colored youth with a knife that was lying close at hand. Seen With Knife Peddie testified at a preliminary hearing before Justice G. L. Graves Monday morning that he was in the room when the killing occurred, and that he saw only the stabbing. He said that he was only about 10 feet from where the two stood talking for possibly two minutes and that he glanced over at them, on hearing Hall raise his voice, in time to see Hall make the arrest at the Negro with the knife. Statements from other employees at the war-house are said to contain the information that Hall went through the building armed with the knife and looking for Wood, a few minutes before the killing.

CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX MRS. RHINELANDER ADMITS HER COLOR WHITE PLANES N. Y. Nov. 12 —Courageously and simply, Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, young wife of Leonard, Kip Rhinelander, accepted the yoke of color which her attorney, Lee Parsons Davis, with all the gentleness and compassion at his command, placed on her shoulders Tuesday morning at the resumption of the trial of her husband's annulment suit before Supreme Court Justice Morschaer and jury. —Attorney Davis said: "In the interest of justice and to shorten the trial, defense counsel withdraws the previous denial as to the blood of this-defendant," and for the purpose of this trial admits she has colored blood in her veins. In his opening address, Mr. Davis used the broadsides of sarcasm, anger and ridicule. As he laid about him with sweeping verbal strokes, one looked for marks to show where his cutting blows landed. His voice alternately trembling with anger or harsh with ridicule, he referred to Rhinelander as "this poor son," "this dear boy," "this stammering nut," "papa's boy," "this innocent youth," "this stuttering brain-tied imbecile." Referring to Rhinelander's attorney, Judge Mills's address, he said if the plaintiff could not see his wife was colored "the issue Judge Mills should have, presented was not mental deficiency but blindness." In his testimony today, Rhinelander denied he knew his wife was colored. NEW YORK WHITE MARRIES VIRGINIA COLORED GIRL NEW ROCHELLE, N.

This is the second substantial bequest the N., A. A. C. P. has received within a year. Commenting on the bequest, James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P.

NOEL'S FATE RESTS ON PLEA OF INSANITY Alienist Says Slayer Was Sane When Colored Man Was Killed. First Degree Verdict Asked. NEWARK, N. J. Nov. 12—Conviction of Harrison W. Noel of murder in the first degree for the slaying of Raymond. Pierce—colored chauffur was sought Tuesday in the Essex County Court by assistant prosecuting attorney D'Alola. A strong argument was put forth that Noel knew exactly what he was dying and that he did it with a purpose—the $4,000 raisom for Mary Daily who was also murdered. Under the laws of New Jersey insanity itself is not a sufficient reason for the defendant to escape the death penalty. It must be proved that the defendant lacked the power to distinquish between right and wrong. Confessed Crime After calling sixteen witnesses in the trial of Noel, the state rested its case. Prosecutor D'Alona called alienist, Dr. Walter S. Washington, who had examined Noel three times. After testifying that he believed Noel sane on Sept. 3, when he shot and killed Pierce, Dr. Washington admitted under questioning by William A. Wachenfeld, attorney for Noel, that he had considered the defendant insane two months before the murder. Against the earnest protest of Wachenfeld, attorney for the defense, the signed confession of Noel, made in the Monchair Police Station Sunday, Sept. 6, was admitted in evidence. Tells of Plot D'Alola told how Noel hired the Dodge automobile from the Scandinall garage in Montclair. He then decried how Pierce, the Negro chauffeur who brought the car to Noel at the Montclair Athletic Club, was found shof from behind as he was driving Noel through Little Falls, N. J. The pr secuctor said that the actions of Noel in hiding the body of Pierce, in concealing the car and the manner in which on Friday, Sept. 4, he carried out the kidnapping, were all acts of one who was not only sure of what he was doing but equally sure that he was doing wrong. Counsel for Noel objected again to reference to happenings following the death of Pierce that in any way referred to the Daly child and was again overruled. Mr. D'Alola described at length the arrest and questioning of Noel and declared that the State would show by the manner in which the defendant evaded questions that he was conscious all the time that he had been doing wrong and under the law could not be called insane. Defense Plea, Insanity Mr. D'Alola then announced that the State rested and Mr. Wachenfeld opened for the defense making a plea for a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. "This boy," he said, pointing to Xool, "is insane. There's not a doubt in the world of it. We will prove it, will prove to you that he was predisposed toward insanity from his birth. An aunt of his died of insanity at the age of 18.

Attorney From Obtaining Mansion Of His Desire BALTIMORE Md. Nov. 4. The sourcing price of real estate has inspired the renalization of the fondest desire of Wesley Cager. Last May, Cager was awarded $10,000 by the Cu- rgurgle Hero Fund Compassion for an ar of burying. Now he is conti- dent with the problem of securing a home with this money, which was on his clothes specifically set aside for such purposes. Wanted a Home Cager received a donation for this beavery in saving a foliage at the Baltimore Gas and Eleganz Company last January E from a gas-limited mollusk. His reward consisted of a bronze medal and $1000. It was necessary for him to decide upon an investment for the money, whereupon the commission would proceed to place it. He had several holes. Cager soon made up his mind that he would use the money in building an ambition that he had long held dear, but which he had never been able to realize. He wanted a home, and he decided that he would put the money to use in obtaining one. Cager received the medal. It was proudly displayed at his Baptist Sunday School. He 'enraptured his friends, with descriptions of a home which he intended to purchase with the $1000. Prices Searched In choosing a home as an investment, however, Cager did not allow for upward trend of prices. But rent-stale went skyrocketing in Baltimore. At its present stage, its recently acquired capital is far insufficient to purchase a home. Cager makes a living wage, out of which comes house rent, food, gas and coal and above all lodge and insurance lines. When all has been subtracted from his weekly payroll, he has little left for building associations. Still Seeking No where can Cager or the legal staff of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company find a house around the $100/monthly dwelling price above that price could not be financed by the hero. But Cager has not foot hope. Each day he and the attorneys continue to search the real estate market, with expectations that they will find a home which the "here" award will finance.

Hale, of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial Normal School, was acquitted in federal court Monday of sensational charges growing out of alleged loans to vocational students, formerly of the Institution, brought several years ago. When the case was called Monday morning, the district attorney asked that it be dismissed saying he could not procure witnesses. The defendant insisted that the case go to trial, and Judge John J. Gore ruled that he had a right to a trial. After statements by attorneys for the government and for the defendant, Judge Gore directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. PAGES PRICE 5 CENTS IVE SWEETS E EVIDENCED E BY DARROW Application Card Of Organ-ization Of White Property Owners Is Introduced As Evidence. MISTRIAL MOTION DENIED Widow Of Slain Man Faints During Officer's Testimony. Darrow Has Fear Of Jurors' Reaction. DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 11. A point-bearing wighty importance on the outcome of the print of Dr. and Mrs. Ossman H. Sweet and nine other colored citizens charged with the murder of Lion E. Bresser, Sept. 9, was reached in the case Wednesday. Clarence Darrow, chief of defense counsel, attempted to prove that the Waterworks Improvement Association was organized to drive Dr. and Mrs. Sweet and other colored persons from the neighborhood. *"Delibrate Murder?" Denfense* In the early proceedings of the trial Robert M. Toussis, prosecuting attorneys, main arguments were to show that no disturbance preceded the fatal shooting; that the shooting was done deliberately with intent to murder; and that the Improvement Association was not formed to drive away colored residents. Much argument centered around the breaking of a front window in Dr. Sweet's home. The defense attempted to show that it was broken before the lifting of the fatal shots while the prosecutors sought to show that it was broken after the shooting. Mistrial Motion On Monday a number of police officers were questioned concerning the state of protection of Sweet's home and the condition and state of things in the neighborhood before and at the time of the shooting. During the testimony of Sergei Joseph H. Green from the Cheese Station, Mrs. Leona Brecher, widow of the slain man, collapsed. Fearing that the jury would be unduly prejudiced by the incident, Darrow made a motion that a mistrial be declared. Judge Frank Murphy denied the motion. Aimed to Use Coercion An application card of the improvement association was introduced in the evidence Wednesday. The clauses of significance were the ones that read: The objects of this organization shall be to organize the property owners of the community north of Waterworks Park and bounded by Mack Harding, Jefferson and Cullinac avenues for the purpose of: Cooperating to enforce the present property restrictions and ordinances; and originating and supporting such other restrictions as may be necessary to conserve this particular locality, that it may remain a desirable community wherein respectable people and property owners may continue to work in peace, security and harmony. Another feature of the proceedings was testimony by boys of the neighborhood to the effect that four or five other boys stoned the Sweet house just before the shooting. Under cross examination, the boy declared the people from mastails (Mrs. Hendley and her family) were also on the front porch when the shooting occurred, a contradiction of Mrs. Hendley's testimony. He said there was talk about the Sweet and about the police guarding the house, but that he could not remember what was said. COTE BRILLIANTE AVE. OUSTER SUIT FILED Another Cote Brilliante avenue ouster suit loomed up Saturday, when Hyman Saltzman (white) of 4587 Cote Brilliante avenue filed suit for an injunction compelling a recently arrived colored family at 4528 Cote Brilliante to move. Saltzman's petition states that the neighborhood is resisted to white dwellers. However, five colored families against whose ouster suits were instituted several months ago live in the block still, the suits having been deferred until a later date. The action asks that the Mitchells be compelled to vacate and the deed be held void. The Mitchella obtained the deeds to their Cote Brillante avenue property last October 1, and recently took possession of the house. LITTLE PROGRESS MADE IN CAROLINA MOB TRIAL ASHEVILLE, N.

NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 "Girls Men Forget" BY BERTHA MAY MEEKS PAGE FOURTEEN As Told to Bertha Mae Meeks For can a find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies; Strength and honor is her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. "That's enough for tonight Maze." My father's voice caused me to re-response that I had been reading almost me unintentionally for half an hour. I drew a breath of relief as I closed the heavy family Bible and laid it aside. I wondered if life would go on like this forever. Mother and Dad insisting that I read verses out of the Bible to them every night before I was allowed to say my 'now I lay me down to sleep.' "Now daughter, I tell you why I wanted you to read that part of chapter." I shrugged my shoulders and slipped farther down in my chair in resignation. For I sensed that I was in for one of Dad's moral lectures. But if Father saw the shadow of boredom pass over my countenance he showed no signs of sympathy. "Girls these days," he continued, places entirely too little' value on their affections. Now in the days of my youth it was different. A smile then was not given as Rightly as a kiss as given today. I sank further into my chair and realized that this was to be worse than I thought of all the things on earth I considered horrible, the high moral lecture was the worse. Dad, a minister, striving to show me the folly of a lightly given kiss. What did he know about the kiss of today? "Nothing, simply nothing." I hadn't mount to speak on at all. But without an explanation of my strange behavior other sign I was sleepy: I ran off to bed. But the words of the wise, Solomon did not leave me in pains. Long after I was in bed with the moonlight falling softly, across my bed, I lay thinking. I thought of Ned Ramsey, the one man on earth who could cancer my heart to butter strangely whenever he was near me. I didn't know whether I really loved Ned, but I was just certain as a very old girl in a little wooden house town that I lied to think of him as a future husband. That his father was Button Ramsey of the Smith & Ramsey Wholesale Grocery Company did not outweigh the fact that Ned was a very handsome and altogether desirable young man. He had a way of telling a girl just how charming she was without seeming to Godlyly batter her. I knew Ned liked me and I knew there was only one other girl in Oletha whom I could consider a rival Julia Eraston, the daughter of Professor Eraston. Her father was principal of the Clyde high School, who was pastor of the Methodist church. They had always been friends. But I felt anything but friendship for the trail looking Julia with her large sorrowful eyes. She always played the piano for the junior choir, taught a class in Sunday School and did a lot of other things all of which I considered perfeally illiotie. I had never cared for church services. Of course as the pastor's daughter I always must attend. But through it all I patiently waited, and if I prayed all it was for a miraculous deliverance from the monotony of the church and village life. In Ned Ramsay I hung I had at last found the desired route of escape. Once married to Ned I would resist my leaving the house. I constantly perhaps for 51 hours, which had all been my city of dreams. The next day was New Year's Eve. I hung the cover close to me as I thought of the parry given at the Ramsay home the next night. Ned had asked to carry me. And I had secretly drawn my two hundred dollar savings account and stent every last dime of it to soft pink dress that draped with white threads, and a white velvet cape with white rips of taffeta to that about me like riffs of taffeta. But bad would be very angry I knew, but didn't mind. Finally I turned over and drifted into the land of Ned. I want Ned Ramsay to propose to me this very evening. And I'll take your chinning self on this safetie bat Marie Brooks. I shook a playful finger at myself in the mirror as I patted on a last dab of powder. Again, the words of the world's wisest man come back to test me. Why would that silly vow persist to sticking in my mind just when I wanted most to forget. Forget what I started slightly at the query that came unintentionally into my thoughts. Why would I want it forget that I had given my kisses lightly for the last two years? Why should I forget that night when Jack Clifford had driven his car far out on the moon in pride, and because he had been defying too much had threatened to make me walk back to town. Jack Clifford was one of the fast men about town who begged of their compulsions, off times to their victims over. Then there had been the affair that the old boy, yet I wouldn't want the man I did not want to know of these little things. Don Watson was a rising young physician whose motto was, "I'm too young to marry." But he loved to play the bean brunched to every girl he met, "It's like this, girls," he would say. "It's a nuisance to be all tied up to some one for life. But as long as there is only one life in this world for each of us, why not live today for tomorrow we might marry." I hated his silly way of cutting every girl he met girl. I didn't enjoy his little 'tomorrow we might marry' joke. But some fun was better than no fun at all, and a bean (brunched or otherwise) was not to be desplained in Othetle. Then the 'Ransey's had moved to town, Ned, a tall gold looking chap who was always jolly but never too familiar, "A clean cut chap" father had said of him. So along with rest of Othetle's maidens I put in my best efforts to charm Ned, sey. The loud reent of the door bell shocked me quickly, into my senses! I had leamed over there in that ramping position until I felt dizzy. I heard Mother's step outside the door and knew she was coming to give her dual caution: "Mazie, don't stay out so late tonight, dear. Your father is positively disgusted with the hours you keep. And I'm afraid you're going too fast, little daughter. This is New Year's Eve. Won't you try to turn over a page? "Oh mumsey, for heaven's sake don't throw a dumper on the last good time of the year I'm old enough to take care of myself. Don't you and Dad worry." "Maria! you look prettier than any girl I ever seen." I buried my chin deep into the far collar and nested closer to Ned as his carped along into the darkness. Just before we reached the Ramsay home Ned almost stopped the ear and jailed over and drew me in his arms. "Let's have one kiss before any other eyes all this lovelyness, Maria!" I had kissed Ned a lot of times but tonight was the first time I had smelled the odor of liquor on his breath. It made me feel less like kissing the prize, charming of my Arnaud. Not Ned was Ned, and his name was highly desirable to one Marie Bickle. The Ramsay himself was all obliterated with lights. Scores of that driver's dangled from the beautiful chandelier. The sweet smell of the hot house roses mingled with the odor of the famous Ramsay quench which had meant a pretty penny for some enterprising boogie-derived through the large rooms. Julia Evanston was there, and I smiled as I noted the plain black velvet dress she wore. Not a single or moment. Just her bare brown shoulders and her small cameo face with the eyes that looked more and than over. I don't find it with Ned, then with Jack. Clifford. And I saw Mrs. Ramsey watching us with an expression of disgust as Jack held me closer than he should. "Will you please dance like a person who has an ounce of sense?" I snapped angrily. I was truly angry with Jack for "I didn't wish to make an enemy of Ned's mother." Ned came over and drew me aside. "Come on into the library with me, Mazie. It's growing darned uncomfortable in here any way." "My heart fluttered and I let that be must have occurred how nervous I was. I let him lead me across the large hall and thrilled—is he drew me to him?" "Here, take a seat," and he lifted me on the library table. Then bending over with his arms about me he kissed me on the lips. "I bow to the pence of the ball. You're the prettiest girl here tonight, Mazie." Then followed me, kisses and with every breath I was a beautiful, lovely queen, but never once did he speak the words I longed to hear. At last disguised I tore myself from his arms and slipped back into the ball room. I did not care to dance again but wandered far over into a desert corner behind a large farm plant and sank into a chair. How long I had been staring into space trying to think and shed bitter tears of demilitation and defeat I didn't know. Some one speaking on the other side of the ball room closed my heart to skip a beat. And until the day I die those cruel words will burn themselves into my brain. Could I be dreaming? Surely it was wrong it couldn't be. No! speaking "Listen to me, Julia. I know I'm not good enough to touch the soul of your garrison, my I do love you. I angered my feet and through an opening between the small frame branches I could see them. Julia's large brown eyes looking up at him and him gazing down into her eyes as if they meant heaven to him. "But I thought it was Maze you liked, Nol, not艾尔." "Oh don't finish! I'll admit that I am islamized of that little airtie. But Dutia, if you'll give me a chance I will prove that all the silly vamps on earth can't mean anything to me. Girls like Maze always utter, men some how. And sooner or later every man has his fling with them. I don't intend to say mean things about any girl, Julia, but you must know about the rumor congrunging Maze about her letting Clifford and Doe Watson make a fool of her. No man could really care for a girl like that. I can't exactly explain but she's the kind of girl that men forget." I don't know why I didn't scream, or try to move away. I seemed rooted to the spot. Tears dimmed my eyes and a sore looked in my throat's lips. I saw him raise her hand to his lips. "Will you be my wife, Julia?" For answer she put out her hands and he drew her to him. Not in hold, but in interest, he always held, but instead, though she was—a flower he feared to hold. He held her closer as she bent his limbs to hers in what I some how knew was their first kiss. I saw him lead her back to the dancing floor. Blindly I tried to stumble out into the hall. I only wanted to be away. But Doctor Watson met me and claimed a last dance: "Let's get out of here. Mazie. Want to take a drive?" I did. I wanted to go any place, any where away from that house. The music that had sounded ever earlier in the evening had become a din of noise. As I felt the sling of the cold air in my face, my spirits somewhat revived. And I lay back contentedly. I wait a star's as we began to breeze in airbursts for the rolling country beyond. Behind us whistles shrieked, heels clanged wildly and fire works shot into the air. Don slipped an arm about me and whispered, "Remember the saying about what you do on New Year's day you'll be doing all the time. Well let's start this one right. Now if I must be doomed to doing any one thing a whole year let it be kissing THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY NOV. 6, 1925 [the prettiest, jolliest girl in Olethe] I drew back and shoved Don's arm away. "Keep away from me! I'm sick of you girl." I almost shouted at him. Don had been drinking and he didn't bother to choose his words. "Yes, that's it! I guess you are s'k of (you) men, for the trouble with a girl like you is that she likes too many at the same time. Why not try the division of letting one man's kisses do? The sharp scream in his voice cut like a knife. But I clenched my hands and looked straight ahead. "Now girls like Julia Ecstonon" "Bush!" I did screen then. "Don't you dare mention her name to me again, ever? do you hear?" "Just as you say, my little spitfire. But as you the Hummingbird Bird Inn. Suppose we celebrate with a lunch and a drink?" I hesitated an distance. Then rebelling rose up in my breast. Then lost Ned, but in why ever spilt milk? This was a new year and I wouldn't take a chance on breeding all the year. "All right, it's go in." I saw a flash of surprised amusement in Dou's eyes as he led me inside. "Private dining room," he said to the waiter who came to meet us. "But, Dou." I protested. "If we stay down here some one will see us and tell your father and there will be the dickens to pay." His explanation was true enough, but man upfits. Inside the pavement Dou tenderly removed my tape and folded me in his arms. His breath felt hot and wrapped with heat as he filled his tounge to my body as I filled him from me and picked up my capes. "Carry me home." I demanded. Just then a scream rent the air and there was heavy pounding all about us, quick as a flash. Don drew me the trunk it's a raid" and he swore again. We are caught like rats in a trap unless this window proves our salvation. I looked out the window and shrank back. It seemed a milk to the ground. "I'll drop you down to the balcony and then follow and help you t the ground." "Don," I cried in treazed terror. "Be quiet, I be trapped in his roughest manner. He pulls my arm up. I felt myself strike the ground with a skeoning tend. Then I lapsed up in See Don struggling with some one who commanded in land tones that he "stick 'em up." Crazed with fear, I leaped blindly into space. I felt what seemed to be a thousand thorns plunging my flesh. I heard a frightful ripping sound as my hundred dollar cape torte into a dozen fragments. And as I gank into a delightful darkened space I heard graffiti and had a momentary glimpse of moving lights. (CONTINUE NEXT WEEK) What happened to Mazie and her friend Doctor Watson?

RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE AND WORLD DISORDER RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE AND WORLD DISORDER By Daniel W. Chase Associated Negro Press One thought in President Coolidge's recent address before the National Council of Congregational Churches in Washington seems to have arrested the attention of the reading public, and that is where the President states that he knew no "ADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT EXCEPT THAT HER HOMES FROM RELIGION". There are some to be guarded by utterance on the part of the Chief Executive as unfortunate while others believe that religion if correctly followed might be a tremendous power for good in the world. The President believes in tolerance. That has come to be thoroughly understood since his speech at Omaha before the American Legion. Whether his speech has, as it were, "fired the shot heard round the world" remains yet to be seen. For two significant things have recently happened. A court in California has sentenced a woman to jail because Communism, and the Supreme Court of the State of New York has refused to grant a charter to the American Association for the Promotion of Atheism. Of course, church generally will be glad of this, because in the application for the charter this association stated as its object "to abolish the belief in God, together with all forms of religion based on that belief." At another of the sessions of this (National Council of Congregational Churches) the question of race was discussed. Prof. Plato Durham of Atlanta, Ga., in a speech the sub-object which was "Christian Race Re-Induction" that unless the white and negro races had the same basis of equality "The United States will be former asunder." This was followed by an address by the Rev. DeGuisse Glenn Atkins, of the Atlanta Theological Seminary, who took as a subject "The Bridge Builders," declaring that "the United States will be a coward nation unless it offers the same protection of the FIRE THE FIRE AND DOES TO THE WITES. And if there be no process under our religion to live together in peace, WE MUST GET ANOTHER RELIGION." Race prejudice and in tolerance to be flourishing "like green bay trees," and the American people on the whole seem to glory in it. These speakers might continue to state that a new day is dawning. But, O God, is it to remain dawn forever? While interracial committees are meeting, trying to adjust differences, there appear to oppose "late of the free and home of the brave" like the Octopus, an effort to deny to men and women the right to live, as they desire, the larger, fuller, freer life. They are not wanted in certain "restricted, exclusive districts." And some stores in large cities are making it known that they do not cater to Negro trade. Something more must be done than mere meeting and talking the thing over. Something must be done to bring about a change in the thought of who will have to do when feasting with people who have no respect to men of the white race who give out information through the power of all powers, the press. Men and women everywhere must be taught to believe that the teachings of Jesus Christ and the principles of sound political economy coincide. Men must be taught to know that the very things upon which this Government is founded make for tolerance, good will, the pursuit of happiness, and that unless these things are respected and given to each man, regardless of race, color or creed, there can be no lasting peace.

C., Nov. 4 The average pauper in the United States obtains an expenditure of $334.63 annually for maintenance and has 2.14 acres of land cultivated for his support, the department of labor found in averaging the varying figures from states of the union. The per capita value of buildings and equipments devoted to the pauper's care average $1:181.96. States of the union were shown to have widely different ideas as to what and how much should be done for their paupers. In Nevada, the subsistence and maintenance of almhouse inmates cost per year $665.10 per capita, in Alabama it cost $187.53. In South Dakota, the property investment in almhouses and almhouse farms per person cared for is $5,600, while in Mississippi it is $415.63. One of the reasons for high cost the department said, is the large number of small institutions devoted to the care of the poverty stricken. It was found that one-third of all such establishments had less than 10 inmates, and one half had less than 25. "The small amish houses," it was added, "stands out as the web of indifference and neglect which begins with a public that either knows nothing of its existence or has so little concern that it pays no attention to conditions." AFRICAN MISSIONARIES VISIT HAMPTON INST. HAMPTON, Va. New, 2-Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, formerly Associate Chaplain of Hampton Institute and chairman of the two Education Commissions recently sent by the British Government to study the educational needs of Africa, in his reparturged England to adapt to the natives of its African Colonies the Hampton system of education inaugurated by General S. C. Armstrong, the founder of the College, and the Philps-Stokes fund of which he is the Educational Director, have arranged to have prominent African missionaries from Uganda, Rhodesia, Gold Coast, and other African Colonies, visit America this winter for the purpose of studying the system of education that has been used so successfully by the Negroes of this country by Hampton, Tuskegee, and other colored schools of the South. Among the missionaries who have recently visited Hampton are Dr. J. E. X. Wright, a native of the Gold Coast, educated in America and now principally the native of a Alabama Gold Coast region, which the British Government has recently appropriated 500,000 pounds. Archcaccin Matthews, Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Grace, Rev. and Mrs. Herbert T. Wright, all of Uganda, and Father Harry Buck, of the Community of the Resurrection, and Miss Mabel Shaw of Rhodesia have visited Hampton institute during October and have expressed themselves enthusiastic about their methods which they hope to adopt successfully in the educational work of their missions for the African natives. The bread cast upon the troubled waters of the educational world by General Armstrong at Hampton Institute in years past is returning many fold. The Armstrong idea of "Education for Life," now recognized so generally by the schools of this country, is more and more being adapted to the educational needs of backward races throughout the world. CRIME AND THE COLORED RACE In a recent report of the grand jury, the statement was made that there are many more Negroes in one jail than there are whites. That is a remarkable statement from that source, and if it is true—and we are not disposed to contradict it—then there is especial merit in the other statement in the same conspion. "The condition calls for action on the part of civil and welcoming people. We are disposed to amend that part of the statement by saying that there seems to be call for action on the part of the Republican Committee of the city and state. We have no thought whatever of criticizing that August body, the grand jury. Neither do we mean to point an accusing finger at the police, the prosecuting officers or the courts; but at the same time we cannot refrain from suggesting to the committee mentioned the propriety of going after and GETTING the facts in the matter. Are there more Negroes in the fall because the Negro cannot cope with conditionality? Are there more whites? Are there more Negroes in the fall than whites because it is easier to catch and send a Negro to fall than it is to land a white criminal in a cell? These and many other very apposite questions are suggested. This city has a population of approximately 900,000... Of this number, less than 100,000 are Negroes. It is generally estimated that there is one colored person for each Negro, and blacks in jail were equal, this would argue that ten times as many Negroes as whites are criminals. There are a good many people who will not readily accept this. But if the statement of the grand jury is correct, and there are many whites in the apportionment of crime to the Negroes is just that much worse. As a rule, Negroes are Republicans. Hence our suggestion that the Republican committees should look into the matter. Is it possible that Negroes are victims of persecution on the part of the police with the prevention and punishment of crime. We have no knowledge on that head, and it is because we and so many others have no such knowledge that we make this suggestion to the committees. There are many things that justify such action—many side lines of fact that command consideration. There are not many Negro gangsters who have skilled the skilled to reduce the Negro criminals. Far the larger part of the automobile crimes committed are by white persons. Comparatively few Negroes own and drive their own cars. Most of the colored auto drivers are skilled chauffeurs. They have to secure a license to be permitted to take employment as chauffeurs. Hence they are skilled to some extent at least. On the other hand, many thousands of white people, children and women especially, drive all over town without having to have license because they drive or say they drive their own cars. A very large per cent of these are unskilled and the automobile crimes are committed by them—the multinational traffickers and traffic law violations. Here we have another set of crimes or at least law violations wherein the whites predominate. Mention of these things is made just by way of supporting the suggestion that Republican committees should get at the facts as to the possible injustice towards the colored by those in authority. There are arguments on the other side, of course, when again against the Negroes. Negroes are discriminated against in the matter of making bend and keeping out of jail. It may be that because they lack funds they cannot make as good defense as white criminals. Any way the fact remains that it would be wait for the committees to look into the matter. The Negro is entitled to justice in this matter in the matter of crime as in all other things. He is not entitled to any favor. neither is it fair to discriminate against him. Let the world have the whole story—and the TRUE STORY.—The Censor. MIGRATION OF THE NEGRO By Dr. Reginald Matthews The steady migration of the Negro from the South is not a sporadic movement nor does it have its inception in the popular chaotic conspiracy of the early 19th century footsteps of a great war. Neither can it truthfully be said there is any of the wandering or nomadic element in the movement of our people from the land of oppression as symbolized by the South to the North. The movement is custorial and educational opportunities. The movement is steady and constant. Negroes coming from all sections of the South, showing that those courses which stimulated migration are by no means localized to the South but are universal throughout the area below the Mason and Dixon line. When we consider the causes of migration of the Negro from the South and the crippling effect which his wholesale leaving will have upon the industrial life of the South, it is indeed surprising that this generalized exodus had not had its origin years sooner, for it is an uncontrovertible fact that Negro labor is the backbone of southern industry and his migration will be felt by a financial loss to the South annually proportionate to the number of migratory Negroes. The mob violence, peonage, low wages, poor educational facilities for their children are the principal reasons for the steady trend of Negroes northward, where they are recognized and treated as citizens and where their children may receive unlimited educational advantages. The young Negro of today is not the Negro of a generation or two ago. He does not believe in turning both cheeks to be smacked. He is more venturesome than his fore-bearers. More prone to get away from those conditions for which there seems to be no immediate remedy and to find a place where he can give expression to those ideals which the white South has forced him to Keep dormant. The Negro in the South knows from experience that physical distance against the tenuous treatment of the white South means to him and perhaps countless others an untimely and oftimes an amonimous death. His only alternative lies in seeking a new home in the North. The South faces a tremendous labor question, a crisis in her industrial history, which can only be remedied by a complete metamorphosis of her present creed in regard to the status of the Negro, and we anticipate no sudden change in the policy of the South towards the North, although some southern newspaper may wax eloquent over the flagrant injustices perpetrated upon the Negro, suggesting a mass of inconsistent illogical remedies. There are other southern papers honest enough to call a spade a spade and have attempted to depict conditions just as they are preaching a same doctrine against these conditions and trying to make the Northmirror not enough, propaganda of lies and camouflage, but by a forecast of a better era in the treatment of the Negro. The capabilistic South contrailing the legislating bodies of the South has fought to keep the Negro in the South, through the enactment of laws penalizing northern labor agents, and the enactment of other law tricks designed to frustrate migration of the Negro. The South has hired a handful of Negro renegades, who, with the gleam of the white man's gold, in their eyes have treacherously preached to the Negro to remain in the South, but the concerted efforts of these race traitors, have had little or no effect upon the exodus. If the present rate of migration continues, it is only a question of time when the center of the Negro population in the United States will not be found below the will, like the slave will have moved North, where their political strength will be an appreciated factor in National affairs. Already we see a panic-striken South awakening to the seriousness of hundreds of thousands of Negroes leaving the white man's farms and cotton fields, and we wonder whether in the end his business capidity or his insane prejudice shall conquer. EVOLUTION IN BALTIMORE The evolution mania has gotten as far North as Baltimore, and John Hopkins University proudly announces that twenty "sure-muff" monkeys are on their way from the Himalaya mongolians of Asia to Hawaii where they attempt to find out for ong and fr all the real truth about the origin of man. Several white scientists, who have charge of the experiment, will keep records of the habits of the monkeys, together with their births, deaths, parental instincts, and social relationships, and the monkey colony will be carefully compared with those of man. Perhaps the monkey hearts and now expert evidence will help the Scopes case comes from Tennessee for final adjudication. Not being very well acquainted with Ashtaite monkeys, we do not know just what they will do under the restricted environment which will be carefully shaped for them at Johns Hopkins University. We are restricting to suggest, however, some activities which we believe they would not engage in, even though they were given a chance. We are confident they would not become consumers of bootleg liquor; nor do we believe they would join a lynching party, though they can talk some excellent instructors on how to use a knife. We are convinced it is very intelligent, we are convinced that one would never develop sufficient thought to recognize color distinctions. If a monkey were highly trained, we don't believe he would refuse aid to an injured man, as was recently the case in Memphis, Tenn. We certainly wish the Johns Hopkins scientists great success in their experiment and trust that they may achieve results which will be of use to the scientific and civilized world. But we would like to add that Johns Hopkins may, too, add a class of twenty colored scholars to its medical and other departments for careful study and observation and opportunity. Such an evolution as this, we sincerely believe, would be of much benefit, particularly to the University, the Negroes and the Nation, to all of whom the scientific and social relationships of soulful men should be far far greater importance than the origin and habits of soulless monkeys. Cheer up! An ill world always blows someone some good. Now that the coat strike is on, oil-burning furnaces are selling like hot cakes. With all due respect to Colonel Clarence Darrow (white), who heads the Sweet defense attorneys at Dartmouth, it would have been inspiring if our own William H. Lewis had been retained to occupy a place of equal importance.

Dyer, the originator of the Dyer, Anti-Lynching bill delivered a rousing Armistice day address Wednesday at the Metropolitan A.M. E. Church. He made a strong attack on race prejudice and religious intolerance. "During the war we did not accept men for service or the money to buy Liberty bonds on the test of nationality, religion or color," he declared. "All did their duty, and credit is due all, including the 12,000,000 Negroes who gave freely of their men and their means." Lyer traced the record of services by colored men in the wars of the United States, and declared, "we all recall the service of the thousands of Negro soldiers in the world war, and that their record for bravery in the battles of France were unsurpassed. Today we should see to it that their rights are accorded them. "Out of the world war a better feeling has grown among all the races and people of the world. In the United States, however, racial prejudice, mistreatment and religious persecution exist to a marked degree. Color and religion should not enter into a person's opportunity to earn a livelihood and to receive equal protection at the hands of the government or the community in which he resides." Y. M. C. A.

T1D BITS By Leonard Massenburge Associated with Nargo, Press Irami Wada of Japan was a prodigial son who tattooed his own calf. As a result of his personal use of the legendary procedure, Kinuoka Wada, his father, is now the richest man in the villages of Jizoumira, Tosu. Ten years ago, Kinuoka Wada decided to land and was a bad toot and sent him to Miyoku. Muttering the Japanese equivalent of "great guidance of bad publicity," or words to that of Japan Wada, warranted his farm and forgot about the current issue. Lost December the band-filled son was recalled when word was received of his death. The hosts took the news critically. Fast work, however, the older Wada was meticulously that he was keen to an estate of more than $150,000 which the "no account" Israel had amassed before his death. The salaries of the home-fold gave away to great laboring, and Papa Wor- der is said to be considering present- ing a statue of his once conflest son to the village. A torpedo takes nine minutes to renew a gun, 6,500 yards away. Hope neural is an excellent pho- sopher for forgiving for lawmen.

Wesley multiplies the keys with the acrobatry and artistry that would justly to the best "ceasing" musichills. During his en- gagement his Program is composed of the popular class of light music, to which he adds his own variation, that make them almost classic. Among the collections are "Three Odees in The Morning" his own measured ragt- and imitations of life and drama, ear- hoops and an old country indie. He also sings and plays the blues, and a ballad, "Hobest and True." His closing piece displays a left-hand action that is little short of mar- vellous. Carolina Williams and two young men form a merry trio. Their opening is a vocal trio with well intreated and blubbed voices singing "Mahalam Bound." The men then offer a neat off-shoot book dance. A soldier drill by the trio comes next, followed by the "Jaraboom" by the men, which makes a big hit because of their team harmony and jam-pot action. "Yes, Sir. That's My Baby," with which wind playing, forings the act to a class. Bah Davis opens the show with a couple of good songs, a jumbo monologue on Woolfe, and other laugh-producing talk. Jines and Jacqueline are social. They indulge in a fine comedy titled "mostly surrealistic sing and dance." Jines is putting over his Hard Lay's song and Miss Jessie Joline has a nice solo dance. A Dixie song and dance closes the act. MARTIN AND WAKER'S SHOW VI B. W. NEXT WEEK Eugene Martin and Billie Winkler will bring their musical comedy company to the Booster Washington Theatre next week beginning Monday. These producers can always be presented upon to offer a shaggy, girly show and the patterns should be well entertained next week. They are introducing "thely" "Fifteen Red Hot Steppers" which includes "Ten Dancing Dolls" featured in the east beside Martin and Walker are: Babe Brown, Sylvia Mitchell, Lawrence Nash and Singing Slim Howard. Monday will be "Pay Fly" and the jubilee "Charleston Contest" will be Friday's extra attraction. Applicants for entry in the coming "Rites Singing Contest" are invited to phone or send in their names and addresses to the theatre or any person connected there. Arthur Harris "Monkey Skins" with 14 sets of gorgious costumes and 14 big musical numbers, will be the attraction at the Joycey Theatre next week beginning Sunday. **Enemies of Youth** with Mahlen Hamilton and Gladys Leslie, will be the Star Theatre special this Saturday day. It is typical of small town story and treats of the right of young people to have a fair amount of happiness, love and laughter in their lives. It graphically and vividly tells the story of a drama young district attorney who has to choose between the gift he loves and duty as it appears to him. Glenn Hunter in "His Bobby-Wife" will be the Sunday feature. It is a drama of before youth. Two donghouses fall in love with the same girl, and she is preparing to marry the second long after she believed the other asleep in Flanders fields. And then he, like Enoch Arden, returns. It is a tense drama, with startling imagery and a captivating and startling coding. Leo Maloney will be seen on Raleigh chers and Rascal's Monday. The Unknown Purple and Tom Mix is 2 half past western on Tuesday, Reid and Talmadge in The Wall Street Whiz' on Wednesday. The Tower at Lies will be the saturday on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Norma Shearer and Leo Chancey are the stars. It is a big po- duction, said to be the most powerful digging ever brought to the screen. It is the tale of a niggy love that, swen back its own from the pit of manly cool and desire. THE COMET Constance Talmadge in 'Her Sister from Paris' will be the Comet Theatre special this Saturday. It presents Constance in two distinct roles: first as a peek-boys wife and later as a darting darting clown. In this latter guide she vamps her own husband, he believing she is his sister-in-law. Another feature will be the world championship wrestling match between Strangler Lewis and 'Big Mum'. Milton Sills will be seen in 'The Rockout' on Sunday. Romance, heart interest, comedy, and the all are combined in this story of rugged America in manhood. It reveals a modern 'Gentleman Jan' type of pugnish who goes into the big timber country to recuperate from an injury. He experiences adventures that make his ring career soon tame by comparison. Bert Lynch in "Steel of the Royal Monument" and "Secret Service Sanders" will be Monday features. Irene Rich in "Eyes, Layer," and Richard Hatton in "Come on Cowboys" will be shown on Tuesday. "The Ranger of the Big Pines" will be the Wednesday special. "A Little Girl In a Big City" will be the attraction on Thursday and Friday. While the story is true to life it is at the same time one of the most dramatic things possible Gladys Walton enacts the title role and this dainty diminutive star makes the character of the "little girl" one that is both sympathetic and realistic. It is a strong moral lesson in this close of the dangers which lurk behind the shadows of the bright lights of Bridal War.

Due to misunderstanding as to the date, Mr. Anderson's company was not present, but he came in person; and when introduced by Miss Totten delivered an address that pleased the group so well that it was unanimously voted that the entire 'tub' pledge itself to attend a performance of "Appearances." A pretty general apathy on the part of the newspapers and the dramatic critics has marked the progress of the play, hence the shender capital of the producer, Lester W. Segar, who put the piece in the Frole on a rental contract was exhausted before the show "caught on." The show was saved from an untimely closing by a group of three Texas men who advanced $2,500 that it might continue, wiring for the money to their Dallas bank. The whole progress of the show is so similar to the experien- rich one, and a remarkably discerning in its fourth year across the street from the Frole and with six road show of the production on four, that it augurs "well for "Appearances."

GORDON H. SEMPSON. Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis KISMET PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE By Richard A. Jackson Kismet pleases large audience by dramatized musical swits and by theatrical acrobatics that hardly shelters crowded with the gallic figure of Thak the nearly height in the foreground strugging, with his deep devotion for his daughter, and his bitter lament for his enemies, and with scriing in the colorful and faintest environments of arabian Hajjal, was presented at the Odon. Friday night, with a spitting perfection by a cast of beaming painters. The Urban League in attributing the heavy masterpiece of Dowland Knoblance as its fourth and painstriking production, not only strengthens its prestige, in the art of staging arabian theatricals, but it also did a gallantic piece of work in winning the public, since a class. The presentation of "Kismet," well-dressed (thorough, skillful and painfully taking preparations in every department) from the misth scores to the estimating, scenery and stage effects, to Zelie Cole's brainy a notation of work in adapting the music to theologies, which she and Mr. Christopher Garden intercepted with sweet singing that brought forth all of the beauty of the poetry of their views, serving to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the play and prepared the audience to receive it. A newcomer among the quintet actors, Mr. R. P. Watts, was intrusted with the burdsey of the leading part, Hajj, the beggar, a role billed around a struggle of human passions and emotions, which required an actor of the highest dramatic type. As many had anticipated the theatre of St. Louis, who to receive a new dramatic artist. In Mr. Watts the audience was soon aware that a talented actor had been discovered. From the first certain to the last, the everyday English instructor lived, the life of Hajj. He was lost to all worlds, but that of the casty and scheming rogue, who arose from rags to丝ks and from a beggar to a grand Wagir, slow the Sheik Jowan who fled with his wife, and the villainous Manur who plotted against his daughter, and then fell to rags and beggary again. He threw himself into the passions and emotions of the different situations, with dramatic force. At all times his connotations were clear and audible. Mrs. Perle Alexander Phillips was a pleasing character as Marshall, the timid and lovable daughter of Hajj, Christopher Gordon interpreted the part of the passionate lover, the Caliph, with ardor and sentimentality. Mr. Thomas Jefferson, in the part of the villain, the Wizard Mansur, first seemed a little weak. The sardonic remarks lost some of their bitterness and craft in his delivery. But the play carried him on in the later scenes to a real superiority, and his Wizard Mansur became a good one, quite a qualified associate was his natural. He was played by Mr. Fred James. Mrs. J. L. L. Moore shot of murdered ability in his portrayal of Arnie the deformed associate of the Wazzi Mansur. The affects and seeming bliss she has for the world and mockery at its downwardly adopted with little signs of intervention. Mrs. Stair hardened part of the abused but enduring nurse of Mar-simah, giving the play a twisted touch of humor. Mrs. J. D. Phillip Jr. as Kuluh, the wife of the Wazzi Mansur seem to sacrifice a bit of naturalness in obtaining fiercelyness. Miss Anna who was so pleasing in her behavior of Were King played the part of Miskett, while Mr. Rhogus was one of the leading parts, just as appeared as Jowan. Dr. J. L. J. Plotter, and Mr. Miyamura Grimst, are of last year's past, played the parts of the keepers. Mrs. J. A. G. L. Valley, a lawyer, handled the part of the humiliation well. The poet in the secondary roles was large and contains many players of unobfused talent, who seemed to have been selected in advertisement with fitness. For the most part the poet had body and pubish. The presbyterian was an estimation that Mr. Harry R. McClain, for the second time stage director of Urban League institutions, is a master of his art. The damsonian in the program is poetess at Mrs. Elizabeth D. Franklin Mills, artistically executed. Miss Olivia Robinson and Miss Elizabeth Lewis are splendid interpretations.

Highest Ever Decrease In-Unemployment Higher Wages, Increased Production And Consumption, Features 1925 WASHINGTON. Nov. 11—The standard of living of the American people in the last year was the highest in all history, according to Secretary Hoover, who issued today an economic review as part of the annual report of his department. He points out that the good conditions here include a high rate of production and consumption, high real wages and a rapid strengthening of the nation's world trade position. "Taking the nation at large," said Mr. Hoover, "the outstanding features of the fiscal year were: The high rate of production, consumption, and exports, high real wages, the absence of, any, consequential unemployment, continued growing efficiency in management and labor, continued expansion in application of scientific discovery in such fields, as electric power, and light, the gas engine and radio. There were industrial patches where progress lagged, as in the New England textile industry, some sections of the agricultural industry and the bilingual cost industry. Nevertheless, the standard of living of the country as a whole was the highest in our history, and therefore the highest in all history. The chief features of the industrial situation during B2125, according to Secretary Howey, were a large volume of new construction and a further expansion of automobile production. Contracts let for commercial and industrial buildings, he stated, showed an especially large increase during the first half of B25. Total manufa-turing output was also larger, and thus a silly increase in the number of factory employees. Production of PAGE SEVEN minerals, and forest products were somewhat smaller than in 1923-24, although much larger than in other post-war years. Secretary Hoover gives tables to show that with the growing prosperity of the county the cost of living was not advanced very sharply in the last three years, although demonstrating a sharp rise as compared with the pre-war standard. One of these tables shows that using prices in 1913 as 100, the general cost of living would be represented by 172 in 1925 as compared with 171 in 1924 and 169 in 1924. "Retail trade." Secretary Hoover continues, "increased during 1924-25 and was larger than in any previous year on record." The expansion of mall order sales amounted to 10 per cent, as a result of improved buying power among the farm population, caused by the fact that prices of farm products and foods advanced 9 per cent and 7 per cent, respectively, as compared with decreased in the whole sale prices of most other commodities. As a result of higher food prices, the cost of living has shown a slight increase. A portion of the report dealing with "constructions" states that "the greatest volume of construction operations on record, representing a total investment of more than $6,000,000,000 was carried out under the most noteworthy circumstances." The housing shortage arising from the war, the report states, has not yet been substantially relieved for the lower income group, and one of the great tasks ahead of the country, according to Mr. Hoover, is to organize this field so that new homes may be reasonably financed and owned preponderantly through the thrift of the individual families who occupy them. The military ban against the general use of raidio receiving sets in Palestine has been lifted. The Merit shrine, nearing completion in Tokio, is the largest athleticle field in the orient. Nine states now require that the Bible be read at stated times in the public schools.

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil in this present world than race-nejudice; none at all." He adds, "and most single thing in the new. It justifies and holds together more honesty, cruelty and abolition than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. This is a fast age in which we are living. It is brought with danger because the white man is fast losing his tenet regarding Character. He is substituting the ignoble color requirement for the more noble one of Character. He is teaching that color is the main thing and that color must be white. This color prejudice has become national in its scope. It is very prominently demonstrated in the organized opposition that is being manifested in every city in this country when a Negro tries to purchase a home. Even the white churches have joined in with the movement and joined the meeting place for this unholy propaganda. The English Bible, as translated, edited and printed by the white man, places much stress upon Character and the Christ-like life. It asks this question: "Is thy heart right with God?" And we are taught that if a man's heart is right with God, would it accessity be right with his fellowman. No color question or requirement there. In the summer up of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus propounded this injunction: "Love thy neighbor as thyself. No color requirement there. Therefore, we think on these things some very pertinent questions arise. The very first one is: Does the white man actually believe in the Bible and the God of which it teaches? If he pretends to believe his life, how can he hope to square his life to conform to its tenets as long as he continues to cultivate, propagate and practice true prejudice and substitute the requirement of color for that of Character? What has he done with this injunction: "Love thy neighbor as thyself?" How can he expect the supposed heathen to accept his interpretation of the Bible, when he utterly disregards its teachings here at home? Every subdivision that has recently been opened in and near St. Louis carries a clause in each deed which states that this property cannot be sold to Negroes for a period of twenty years. Any white man can purchase a lot and build thereon regardless of his character. No Negro can purchase a lot regardless of how excellent a character he may be. Color has been substituted for Character and has become the standard by which races are measured, and favors shown them accordingly. Hopes and fears have been ours since learning that W. C. Matthews has accepted an appointment as Special Assistant to the United States Attorney General. Our hopes had been that he would not accept an appointment at the hands of the present administration, until something had been done by the administration for our group as a whole. Our fears are that it will be taken for granted by the appointing officer, that the whole group has been amply paid, politically, through Matthews' appointment. This combination of hopes and fears forces itself upon us when we take into consideration that Matthews was the leader of the Colored voters during the last election, which helped Cooidge to victory. Following the election, Matthews and his immediate associates told us (those whom they represented) that not jobs for themselves, but for the common interest of the whole group, would they work. This was to be a distinctive feature of the new leadership. And we all said "amen". That, we said is as it should be. In questioning the wisdom of "Matty", accepting the job at this time, we do so with only the thought of the interest of a people which has suffered in the past by leaders who when the time comes, take care of themselves first. Jobs are good. Political jobs are sweet to many, but RIGHTS as citizens are sweeter to millions. Jobs benefit a few; but the abolition of segregation at the Nation Capitol will benefit us all. We do not charge that anyone who accepts a political appointment can be of no service to his race. But we do say that such a one is greatly handicapped. He cannot speak out against injustices and the many wrongs fostered or sanctioned by the government. The element of self is too strong. Therefore, we can't but seriously question the wisdom of Matthews, accepting this job at this time. We are now in the midst of our Fourth Annual Community Fund Drive, in the purpose, this year, not to miss any one who is able to give. Everyone who gives serves a double purpose. He helps others and helps himself. REMEMBER, he serves God best who serves his fellowman most. We are all human. We have all felt that human touch. There is much human misery in the world today, and especially in St. Louis. We have the sick, the lame, the sorghus and the aged; and too, more frequent is the fellow who needs a lift. Thousands have been made happy just because somebody gave the fellow or the woman a lift when they were almost ready to despair; but when jifted, made good. The Y. M. C. A., for instance, has saved many young men from the "gang", which was waiting to ruin them. The call is lond and long. Let every one who possibly can join in. Let us pool our gifts so they will do the maximum good. When the solicitor calls on you don't say "no", but welcome the opportunity to help, and make it snappy.

"Outdo Whites" Darrow Tells Race Citizens Get Your Own Banks, Work Harder Than Whites, Improve Yourself and Your Calling; Give Tips, Don't Take Them, He Advises. DETROIT. Mich. Nov. 11—Before a gathering of 1500 colored citizens that filled the gymnasium of the St. Autonie street Train's Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, Clarence Darrow gave his own views on the race question. Touching upon the most vital point of the elder problem, Burrow said : "I shall not discuss the case now being tried (the trial of Dr. Osgaink 4. Sweet and 10 other Negroes), but it is certain that a district built to house 5,000 Negroes will prove a bit too small to accommodate the $0,000 row in Detroit — Obviously they have to live somewhere. If they move into white neighborhoods they deprive property values. That is true and I confess I don't know what can be done about it." "There will always be, be difficulties. If the race problem is solved, there will come along new malignations," he continued "Always the man on the ground bus feared the newcomer because he did not understand him. If a white man went into the Congo he would be hated and misunderstood. That is your life here. You have a long hard road to travel in an unknown (be to fight, and that face is prejudice) which we have always had with us." Darren turned to the topic of slavery. "Slavery" he woke as "is as old as time. The white men have been slaves; a great many of them, up until 300 years ago. In those days a man was either a ruler or a slave Greco and Rome conquered white peoples and enslaved them. Civilization Worth Price CIVILIZATION WORTH FRIEND "And man, and man," Darrow in the first gesture of oratory he had employed, "that wilbor slavery your race would never have had its charge for civilization. You might still be savages—in Africa and at that you might be better off there. Burst you. I think that civilization, is worth the price we have to pay for it, what the white man paid in his upward struggle, what you are paying today. "I say to you—improve yourselves. Improve your calling. Get rid of tips. Get out of the class that takes tips and into the class that gives them. It won't be easy. But if you can, get your own banks, and work hard. You can work harder than the white man, because you're on his home grounds." Be Courageous "There is hope in the world, in as much as it has any salvation. Darrow remarked once. I believe some times it should be spelled 'hope,' because that's about 'what it is.' Life is a mystery. We don't know what we are, or why we are, or whence we came. But as long as we're here we might as well make the best of it." ONE LESS'SAMBO IS PA. RED CAPS'EFFORT FOR RACE W. C. Boyd Tells How Baggage Carriers Came To Start. Scholarship Fund. $6000 Endowment Aimed. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11—In an interview Mr. W. C. Boyd, Assistant Captain of the Red Caps of the Pennsylvania Terminal for twenty years, told the interesting story of how 300 or more employees under him came to establish the annual $300 scholarship to send some worthy colored boy to college. Stirred By Story It all started two years last July when the faithful "gather of wayfarers" took his first day off in five years. He was determined that it should not be spent in more recreation or a frivolous waste of time. He sought a return in some form that would repay him for a reduction in earrings. One of the ambitions of those twenty-eight years of waiting on the needs of those who journey from city to city had been to attend commencement exercises at a school conducted for members of his race. He devoted his day of leisure to gratifying that ambition. He went to the school for colored youths at Borden town, and he entered, as a cloaked graduate of the East Orange High School and Harvard University, new principal of a school for Negroes at Cheyney, was making the commencement address. In the course of it he told the following story: "A public school teacher asked three of his pupils, two of them white boys and the third a Negro, what they were going to do when they left his school. The two white boys said they were going to college. The father of one was going to pay his expenses and the other was going partly to work his way through. "And how, about you, Sambo," he pressed the Negro had. "I don't goin' to do nuffin!" was the appose. "I never did nuffin' but many never did nuffin' 'cept beat me! I doon want to do nuffin' out I don't want to be nuffin'." This story generated into the consciousness of W. C. Boyd, Red Cap, stuck in his mind on the way home. It occupied his thoughts the next day as he tapped armfuls of luggage. To Fellow Workers One day he passed word around for an assembly, after working hours, of his fellow Red Caps. There are 300 on duty at the Pennsylvania and Long Island Terminals. When they had gathered Boyd told them the story of Sambo as he had heard it at Bordentown. He paused while it sang in. Then he asked, "Are we Sambos?" "We're making a living," he went on, "we're providing for our families. We don't beat our children. But are we doing anything more than feeding them and giving them a roof to sleep under? What are we doing for the good of our race? The way to uplift it is to have fewer Sambos. What are we doing about it. Then he launched the proposal which represented in concrete form a hardened desire to do his bit for his cap. He proposed that each Red Cap should contribute $1 a year out of his earnings to establish a fund which should be maintained long enough to put the son of a Red Cap through college. "Our contribution to the betterment of the black man as a race is going to be one less Sambo," he said. His 265 comrades signified their approval of the project by handing over to a committee appointed to collect the fund $1 each in coins varying from pennies to fifty-cent pieces. A committee was then formed to frame the conditions under which the beneficiary of the fund was to be chosen and to select the college to which he should be sent, one restricted to students of their color. After receiving advice from those well qualified to give it, the committee decided that the son of the Red Cap who had achieved the best high school grades in English, mathematics and history and chemistry should be educated by the fund in Lincoln University at Darby, Pa., provided that he should be obedient to parents and teachers, sound in body and mind, and have earned his parents and teachers that he desired to make a mark in the world, not only for his own advancement but for the credit of his race. Want Larger Fund Want Larger This is how Marcus Carpenter Jr. the choice of the committee among two score candidates, aged 19 and the son of Marcus Carpenter, Red Cap at the Pennsylvania Terminal came a month ago to enter Lincoln University and take up the studies which eventually will fit him to become a practicing physician. He is the first beneficiary of the Red Cap scholarship Fund Society, with 265 members. The organization deposited the money to cover his first year's expenses in a bank in a bank arranged that the secretary should act as the social secretary and forward to the appointed period the amounts due for the student's tuition and expenses. But this, if the hopes of Boyd and his companion founders of the society are realized, is only a beginning. Their eyes are set now toward the raising of an endowment fund of $6,000, the interest on which shall send another son of a Red Cap to college. So, if you feel charitably inclined toward the Pennsylvania Station porter who saves your arms one of these days when you are heavily laden, double your tip with the remark, "Half of that is for the Red Cap Scholarship Fund."

They must have had automobiles and pedestrians in ancient times, else why did they hand down to us the tradition about the fall of man? What Is The Age of Maturity? Just when men and women may be said to arrive at the age of mental maturity is difficult to say. In many jurisdictions the law fixes 21 as the age of discretion for commercial and legal purposes. While in others it is held that 18 or even 16 or 14 years is sufficient for the wise choice of wife or husband. How many adults, say, past 35 or 50 or 70 believe now that they were as mature in wisdom as they thought they were at 21? The figure is entirely too arbitrary, although, admittedly a convenient one. Actually, and for all practical purposes, man does not become mature in his thinking until well along in life. Many of the noblest works of literature and art or the highest results in scientific research have come from men and women of all ages and many cases beyond the 70's. Roosevelt became President of the United States at 43, and was the remarkable fact of his youth was heralded around the world. William H. Harrison was 68 at the time of his inauguration. The average age of the Presidents at inauguration is more than 55 years. The activity 'incident' statesmanship tends to be the average low. But in the field of quiet pursuits unrestrained by popular clamour, the age of achievement averages considerably greater. The older, the wiser. man, and the presence of Clarence Darrow as chief defense counsel, brought the trial out into the spotlight and urged the fight against the klansmen who have been promoting segregation of residential districts all the more pronounced. It was expected that a victory of the klans would have very great influence in the outcome of the trial. Mayor Smith's victory makes more assured the eventual victory of Dr. Sweet and his co-defendants. **Cleveland Retains Flemming** In Cleveland, where they have the prestigious ballot and elect twenty-five counselmen by districts, Thomas W.

The Ascendency In South Africa. Decline Of Whites Strength Evident. DISCRIMINATIVE MEASURES Propose Legislation To Bar Natives From Competing With Whites, Fear Development Of Africans. JOHANNESBURG. Oct. 5- (By Mail) The waning of the white man's strength of control over the natives in South Africa, and the proposal of discriminative measures as a means of re-enforcing the weakening structure of Nordic dominence, have caused considerable political apocalyptic in this section. The last census report in South Africa, which showed a marked decrease in its white population, has caused pitch uncasiness among the Caucasian inhabitants. "Judging by the figures of Census Official Consin's report, if the present tendency of changes in the population" of South Africa continues, within the next 50 years it will be largely in the control of the native Africans. A bill aimed directly at checking the ascendency of $^4$ African labor over white labor was recently proposed here causing much antagonism. The bill, known as the Color Bar Bill, calls for the harring of native workers from competing with the whites in certain fields. Dr. C. T. Loram a member of the Native Affairs Commission, who has traveled through much of the extent of South Africa, and who is quite familiar with the territory, has shown much concern over the present situation. In a statement regarding the conditions, he declared: "Now any thinking man who is puzzled by this question of industrial competition—and we all wish to find out if it is really the case that the activity in the employment of natives results in a decrease of European employment—should ask himself whether the proposed Color Bar Bill is necessary, in view of the fact that the Government has established a wage bill with the expressed intention of preventing the exploitation of labor. "We should ask ourselves the question: What would be the effect of a color bar, particularly on the natives. If on the statue book there is a definite restriction of the employment of four-fifths, of the population in certain industries. We might ask ourselves whether it is fair to restrict the employment of natives in our European areas native whom we have been so largely responsible for bringing in, before we have made any provision for employment for them in other areas. "These I think, are questions which puzzle the European when he thinks about native affairs." Will Decide Question The government officials, however, expressed, regret over the declining strength of the white man in South Africa. He also avered that the natives might take the ascendency. So much concern has been taken over the latter question that a movement is on foot to have the latest census report corroborated. 1998 Regarding the problem Dr. Toram sold. We dislike very much the fact that the natives in the Cape Province have the franchise on the same terms as the Europeans; we are timid about native development, because we fear that if we develop them they may one day swamp us and we are determined that the political power enjoyed by the natives in the Cape shall not extend to the Transvaal, Free State, or Natal. How should we look at that aspect of the native question? I think the man who would analyze Mr. Cousin's figures, and prove them either true or false, would have done a very great service, fided to South Africa. Interracial Bodies I think it would be interesting if we could know exactly whether the black man in this country desires that the white man should remain here, or where he desires him to go. After a great many years' experience, in which I have met most responsible natives in South Africa, I don't remember hearing one of them wish that the white men would leave. We have always among them the wild native, who talks about driving the white man into the sea, but then we have the equally wild European, who talks of driving the native north of the Zambezi. of the Zamnese. Joint councils of Europeans and natives have been established in Johannesburg and elsewhere to deal with the increasing problems of race relations.

Today he is one of the leading businss men of the city. Starting out as a laborer, Harter launched out on a business career by investing $70 in a horse, $85 in a wagon and $8 in coal. Since that time the capital of his coal yard has increased itself manifold. He sold by the bushel basket at first, but in day he sells by the ton. His yard is equipped with the latest type of machinery for loading and unloading coal. The equipment cost $8,000. This machinery will upload a 50-ton car in one and one-half hours at a saving of 10 cents on the ton. He uses nine delivery trucks in his business and engages 10 men.

In the meantime relief from what colored citizens call oppression will be sought through a conference with Mayor Berkman, who it is said, will use his influence in behalf of the colored residents which will enable many Negroes who are buying houses through the home-steads to keep up their payments by renting one side to white and colored people residing under the same roof giving as their reason that the segregation law was on the books and must be enforced. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,NOVEMBER 13,1925 THE CONFERENCE ON AFRICA FINDS MANY PROBLEMS Necessity Of Teaching Agriculture, Hygiene And Sanitation. Can Wipe Out Sleeping-Sickness. Movements looking toward a closer cooperation between missionary, government, scientific and commercial agencies interested in the development of Africa, toward the development of African Negro culture and, of a higher civilization founded upon the values in that culture, toward a concerted effort to wipe out the sleeping sickness in central Africa, toward applying to African educational methods the accumulated experience gained in the education of Negroes in southern United States, and towards a central bureau for the study of African languages and for assisting in the production of a suitable literature in these tongues—all these movements were inaugurated at the "African Conference" held in the Kennedy School of Missions, Hartford, Conn., Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, under the auspices of the Committee of Reference and Counsel of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America. More than 100 African missionaries, board officers and educational authorities from the United States were in attendance. Dr. Thomas S. Donohugh, chairman of the Africa Committee and associate secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, presided. "Among the auctions present were: J. H. Oldham of London, and Dr. A. L. Warnshuts of New York, secretaries of the International Missionary Council; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chairman of the commission of the Phelps Stokes Foundation, which recently made a study of educational conditions in East Africa; Dr. Homer L. Shafiz, pathologist of the United States Department of Agriculture; Dr. E. C. Sage of the General Education Board; Dr. J. H. Dillard, of the Jeanes and Slater Funds for the education of American Negroes; Prof D. Westeraermann of the University of Berlin. Can Eradicate Sleeping Sickness Perhaps for Africa the most important and far-reaching feature of those three days was the announcement by Dr. Mable Pierce of the Rockefeller Foundation that after six years of experimentation the Foundation is ready to pronounce the success of its new cure for sleeping sickness, "Tryparsamide", the only known effective remedy for the disease, is now on the market, its efficacy in the most severe cases seems assured by numerous tests over the years, and the world may look hopefully, to the early eradication of the dread disease from off the African continent. This pronouncement is all the more significant, at this time when Europe, is turring its attention to the development of Africa, pouring its capital into mines and industries, and when Henry Firestone announces his plan for a huge American rubber development in Liberia. According to Dr. Pierre no colony in Central Africa is free from the disease and the white men in these settlements are not exempt from its effects. Its extent varies among from 12 per cent to 15 per cent of the people in some colonies though in others as many as 50 per cent or 60 per cent suffer from it. She points out that it is wholly impossible to wipe out the carrier fly because of the enormous territory and the tropical condition of the country; the only CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS Authorship and Honesty Honesty, it is said, is the best policy, so why should we not be honest in literary publications? Why should we use another author's works and call them our own production. This would be literary theft to its zenith. Others' opinions are not as well ap- preciated by yourself (when you have copied them and called them your own) as those worked out by yourself. "This true two good heads are better than one, but, however, there is a difference between the com- bination of two persons' thoughts, hunged, yet expressing what is de- sired to be expressed in your own fashion and "copy" works. Coping or sealing news is not plausible. If a Kewpie should wish to submit articles not of his own composition, kindly write the author's name at the end of the article. Articles that are sent to me bearing a Kewpie's name will be published as their own work. If the said publication has another author it will be discovered by the Argus readers, and I (as well as the Kewpie) will be held responsible for the theft. Please, Kewpie, send in work of your own composition or state the author's name, newspaper, magazine or periodical from which the article was taken. SISTER SUSAN THE POET'S CORNER THE PUB'S CORNER There's a morning I do know. When the clouds of life have passed over; I shall stand on that shore firm.

Miss Dorothy Pennan, a student of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., has no objections of hearing from the Kewpis. She promises to tell you something interesting about college life. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11. "Prejudice is invariably the product of ignorance." "Look behind what is externally repellant and you will find something appealing which it is your business to call forth." It was around these sentences that Alfred W. Martin, leader of the New York Society of Ethical Culture, centered his address to the Philadelphia Ethical Society in the Academy of Music. In an appeal for tolerance, the leader of the modern crusaders for "right through right," complained that the great nations of today, the United States included, are suffering from nationalism that is narrow, inefficient and provincial. "Children in our elementary schools should be inoculated with the spirit of Washington." Mr. Martin declared. "Washington never boasted or bragged about his country being a man of few words, brevity and reserve. This is a remedy to this condition, which would be in the nature of prevention." "More necessary than this work, however, is that to be done in the high schools. Here a new course of study possibly called the 'science of nations' might be inaugurated." A course of study such as this, Mr. Martin said, would acquaint the pupils with the distinctive features in each nation and the contributions they have made to the progress of civilizations. Such a course of study be considered an effective means for cultivating international-mindedness to world peace. A VOLUNTARY PRISONER NEARLY BURNS TO DEATH Associated Negro Press CAMDEN, N. J. Nov. 11.-Burns that probably will prove fatal were received by a voluntary prisoner in the Camden jail Friday night, when he dozed and permitted a lighted cigarette to set his clothing afire. He is Benjamin Allen, 25 years old, of Harrisonburg, Va. When he asked for a night's lodging he wore three coats and three pairs of pants. He said he had been fured to this city by presperly talk he heard on every side. However, he knew little or nothing about work in the building trades and had found it rough going during his short stay Hall Office Pike listened to his story and placed him in Cell No. 8.

He arrives there, and puts up at a small inn during his stay. What a restless night for Dan—hying wrapped in a frightful nightmare seeing glamly things. He seemed to be somewhere worse than hell. Not far away, Fill lies in her bed, but could not sleep either. She lies there gazing at the moon and stars, thinking what might have been. Their souls seemed to call out to each other, and during the hot saturation night each suffered untold misery. Some weeks later Dan went out for a short ride in his horse. On a lonely narrow path he spied another horse, instantly he knew who it belonged to. "Fifi, Fifi," he called. "The girl looked up and saw who it was. She could never face him again. The only hope for her was to escape. She spurred her horse and with a bound, like flash of lightning the horse disappears around the curve. Dan followed. Fifi's horse became frightened and ran away over the fields, throwing horse sticks as she went. He seemed to be borne on the air, and in hot pursuit Dan follows on. Ity a short cut Dan caught up with the run away horse and saves Fifi from an unknown death. Dan tenderly lald the fainted girl upon the cool green grass and washed her face with water from a nearby stream. Slowly the girl opens her eyes and looks around frightened. Dan comforted her. She tried to explain, but Dan bish her with a long passionate kiss. Fifi knew that she was fickle and never loved any one but Dan, and tore lose her mask and surrendered "You love me, don't you?" he murmured. "I shall always love you," she an- swered sweetly, and laid her head up on his breast. All nature seemed to approve, for the sun shone brightest, the birds sang, sweet and close by Fifi found her favorite—a luster of "red carnations." "How happy I am!" she murmured, and fell asleep.

Name Address Age Birthday City State Prominent Educators To Address Florida Teachers Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Nov. 11 The meeting of the Florida State Teachers' Association, to be held here December 28-30, promises to be of more than usual interest, by virtue of the character of the educators who have been invited to speak. The schools of the State depend largely upon the amount of information and inspiration for a larger day's work which can be taken away by the delegates who invest their time and money in attendance. The source of this information must, of necessity, be men and women who have achieved outstanding success in their chosen professors or fields. Every effort has been made by the President and Executive Secretary of Florida Teachers' Organization to have men and women of that type present at the Convention in Jacksonville. Florida people will be delighted to know that Nathaniel B. Young, former president of Florida A & M College, Tallahassee, now President of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri, will be in the State during the Convention and will address the teachers at one of the platform meetings. Other speakers will be: Dr. Frank B. Bacham of the General Education Board, New York City; Franklin O. Nichols of the Department of Educational Measures, American Social Hygiene Association, New York City; Mrs. Florence C. Williams head of the Negro Division of the North-Carolina State Board of Health; R. S. Sealey, state sup. of high schools of Florida; J. H. Brinson, supervisor of Negro Education of Florida; W. S.

At a recent meeting of the Executive Board of the National Urban League, reports were submitted, which showed a marked progress of the institution. The Treasurer's report showed that the League had received for its national work to date the sum of $51,000 and that with pledges and probable income would expend over $60,000 during the current year. Resolutions were passed expressing sorrow at the death of Mrs. Booker T. Washington who had been for nine years a member of the Executive Board. A budget of $80,000 was authorized for the year 1926; an announcement was made of the Urban League Conference on industry plan for New York City. February 2 to 7, 1926. A. S. Frissell, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Fifth Avenue Bank, who has been the Treasurer of the League for more than fifteen years, tendered his resignation on account of advanced age although remaining on the Board, and was succeeded as Treasurer by Lloyd Garrison, the grandson of William Lloyd Garrison. The Urban League now has forty-five branches. It was organized 15 years ago. TUT'S COFFIN SPOILED Associação Negro Press CAIBO, Egypt, Nov. 11.—Funeral illuminations have ruined much of the splendor with which Tutankhamen was buried. It was learned this week. A thick glutinous, like substance covers much of the coffin of Tutankhamen, it is stated, and it is believed that this has been caused by the libations poured upon the coffin at the funeral ceremonies. Great care is being taken in an effort to remove this thick substance and restore the original coffin. The marvelous gilt inner coffin which bears the image of the young Pharaoh, has been uncovered by Howard Carter. A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 Frederick Massiah, At Age of 35, Winning Business Despite Color Handicap. Weekly Payroll $5,000. KANSA'S CITY, Mo.—The best example that has ever come to our attention to prove the truth of that ancient adage, occurred during the recent visit of the Shriners to Kansas City. No other instance we can think of now is so suited to "where there's a will." Frederick Massiah of Philadelphia, Pa., at the age of thirty-five is one of the largest concrete and steel engineers in the country today. His payroll averages above $5,000 each week. Some of the most beautiful structures in downtown Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., and in other cities on the Atlantic seaboard testify to both his ability and the demand for his services. And Frederick Massiah is a Negro - unquestionably so.' Born In West Indies Mr. Massiah was born almost 35 years ago on the island of Barbados, British West Indies. His parents were only average working people with less than average means. His early training was secured in a trade school and in company with what is known as a Master Workman in the field. This training included learning to do stone work, concrete and cement and steel construction work, mixing colors and plastering. In West Indies all these artisans were called Massons, but young Massiah always excelled in the concrete and cement work. He developed a liking for construction; he was proud of the fact that his hands had helped build and he learned all he could about concrete while he was with his Master Workman. After emasuring enough money to take passage, to the United States he came over and found very soon that he would have to specialize in order to make a success. He decided that concrete construction was the thing he wanted to do most for his life's work and, accordingly, he began study to become a steel and concrete contractor and builder. Attended School in Philadelphia Frederick Massiah reached Philadelphia about ten and one-half years ago with nothing but "a will". He knew that his first step must be an enrollment in some engineering school where he could add the practical knowledge of concrete he had obtained as a laborer, with the theories of construction which could only be obtained from books. Young Massiah knew nothing of tensile strength, expansion, stress, estimates or the like—and he had brains enough to know that in order to succeed he must know those things well. His finances were low but he arranged to enter the Mercantile School of Art in Philadelphia, where he, by dint of much sacrifice, completed a three-year course. This only proved to him that there was much about engineering—he had yet to learn, so he entered Drexel School of Civil Engineering, also in Philadelphia, graduated, and was ready to begin his life's work. Early Days a Struggle In those days the competition in his line, especially in Philadelphia, was keen. And Massiah's worries had only begun when he landed a contract. There were kicks in use by his competitors then which he knew nothing about, and Mr. Massiah says that many dollars which he needed very badly those days, was delayed in reaching him, and that many a small building contract was completed with cash that had been held out on him for thirty and some times sixty days. He cites one instance where an apartment house was bought with an installation on the price of some work he was on and he didn't get his money until the apartment was re-sold. The general contractor, who was supposed to pay Mr. Massiah his share of the contract price, made $5,000 of Massiah's money in the thirty days he held it. But now all those tricks are known to Mr. Massiah and, partly due to his experience and mostly because of his enormous business, he is in mune from the tricks practiced on him in former years. Employs Mixed Workmen Mr. Massiah says that in his year of experience, he has never had labo troubles, despite the fact that his em ployees are about equally divides between black and white. He em ploys white ourem and colore foremen over crews of workmen consisting of both black and whit men. Color has never been a prim reason for either employing a work man or not employing him. Abili to do the task is all that Massiah demands, and he demands this on thing from both black and white. His men are always union men, mo of them sent out to the job from headquarters. If the percentage of black isn't large enough he takes the necessary steps to make it so. Massiah enjoys accommodation privileges with all railroads of the country; by that we mean that materi ordered by him for use anywhere the country, car lot of trainload, released to him on arrival at its destination, without the usual red tax concerning freight charges. Massiah pays his freight at the headquarter of the road, at regular periods. This is a privilege enjoyed by only a few building contractors in the country.

LEEN, TEXT, "Larry man suffers strain, let him not be ashamed!" PRIMARY TOPIC "Paul is Brave in baggers" JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul and the Jerusalem Mob. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Paul Faces a Mob. AWAKING PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Spirit of the Mob. I. Paul's Vow (21:18-26) Upon Paul's arrival at Jerusalem representatives of the church there gave him a most cordial reception. In order that the brethren in Jerusalem might graciously receive him, it was proposed to him by the elders that he take a Jewish cow to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law. The effort was to remove prejudice. They recognized that such an act would do no way compromise or involve the Gentile brethren. Furthermore this would not compromise his own principles of action, viz., to the Jews he became a Jew, and to the Gentiles, a Gentile; all things to all men in order to gain them for Christ. U.S. Paul's arrest (C1 7540). How far this not coordinated the Jews we are not told, but it only enforced the unbelieving Jews, causing them to resort to mob law. These unbelieving Jews on the basis of a superior seized him and dragged him from the temple and behead him merely befriending to put him to death. Paul was rescued from the mob by the Roman guard. The chief captain, not being able to get any information from the howling mob, behind Paul and started for the castle. In order to protect him from the murderous treason of the mob, the soldiers lifted him upon their sighs and bore him up to the states. Paul kept himself under control, and politely asked permission of the captain to speak to the people. When he addressed him in Greek and quoted his Roman citizenship, the captain ignored his request. 11. Paul's Defense (22:127). Paul's chief concern was not his own safety. He used this opportunity to witness anthem of Christ. 1. His Opinion for a Rightful Hearing (v. 11). (1) His Birth (v. 3). He was a Jew born in Tarsus, a city of no mean reputation. (2) His Education (v. 3). He was educated under Gambalat and instructed according to the per- petent manner of the last of the fathers' (4) His Zeal (v. 2). He was so tenacious toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him. 2 His Attitude Toward Jesus (v. 4). 3 presented this way unto the death" so that his attitude was one of thirst for was that of the Jews. 4 How His Attitude Was Changed (v. 6-16). While on his way to Jerusalem with authority to find the Christians at Jerusalem, he was snapped to the ground by a light from heaven, and the voice of the Lord said, "Who presented them now?" When Paul impaled him he was to do, he was told to go to Jerusalem where he would be told to do. 1. The Lord Commissioned Him to go to the Göttingen (1721). 2. IV. Paul Before the Sanhedrin (231-10). The Roman office, in order to learn why Paul was arrested, commended the chief counsel to assemble, and burgled Paul before them. 1. Paul's Earnest Look at the Council (1224). This was a solicitation of their honour to give him a fair hearing, and also a look of conscious integrity and obliterating courage. 2. Paul's Stern Rebuke of the Head of the Council (v. 3). "God shall strike these, thou whited wall." 3. Paul's Appeal to the Pharisees (v. 140). Seeing that he could not get a fair hearing, and perceiving that the body before him was made up of Pharisees and Sadducees, he appealed to the Pharisees being to get their attention, for this pleasing him had something to common with their belief. V. The Lord Stood by Paul (v. 11). This meeting that his course was right, and thus comfort was brought to him. VI. The Conspiracy to Kill Paul (v. 18,22) More than forty men placed themselves under a curse to obtain from eating and drinking until they had murdered him. God defended their plan without a miracle.

So beginning and impressive was the hospitality extended for the Southeast Missouri and Tulsa Annual Conference by the members and friends of Lake Tahoe until the delegates were moved to exile Lake Tahoe; videotapes of Gunn's last Sunday night at the conference closed in a whirl of glory. But that doesn't begin to tell. The atmosphere must have led to being when the state Bishop Carter wrote into his appointments a joke at the local members. There was a deathlike silence when the Bishop announced that a Rev. Mr. Cox would be the pastor of Lake Tar jails; but there was wild aplause when he corrected it and announced that Rev. H. W. Evans would be returned to Lake Tahoeals for another year. So there will be a celebration at Lake Sunday morning.

Harrington, Reporter Methodist Medical Service To 100,000,000 People Associated Neuroscience NEXW YORK, Nov. 11 — There are sixty-seven hospitals and dispensaries maintained on the foreign mission field by the Methodist Episcopal Church; this is about the number of public and private hospitals serving the City of Philadelphia, says Dr. Rahul E. Diffendorfer, corresponding secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the denomination in a report just made public. "But while the hospitals in Philadelphia serve a population of 1,860,000, those of the Methodist Episcopal Church serve a clientele of more, than 100,000,000 people. While any resident of Philadelphia may motor to nearly hospital in ten or fifteen minutes; some of the patients in our institutions abroad travel from one hundred to three hundred miles; many come in wheelbarrows or in staircases carried by friends, and many others are carried on the backs of friends or relatives for long distances." The Board of Foreign Missions conducts fifty-four hospitals and dispensaries the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the church conducts twenty-three, according to Dr. Driffordler. The Board has in its medical service overseas sixty-three graduate physicians, from American, the Society thirty-seven American women physicians. The Board has also forty-four registered nurses serving in its hospitals. In addition to the American staff, the Board of Foreign Missions has in its hospitals sixty-four national physicians, most of them graduates of American medical institutions, or trained in mission medical schools on the field. There are also in the service, 224 national nurses, practically all of them graduates of nurse training schools maintained by the several hospitals and supervised by the American physicians. Despite the fact that the beds in the fifty four hospitals and dispensaries of the board of Foreign Missions will got care for more than 1,500 patients at one time, about 22,000 different persons were housed in the wards during the past year for periods of from one week or more each. More than 15,000 operations were performed during the year by the sixty-three physicians and their assistants. In addition to those cared for in the hospital wards, about 550,000 treatments were given in the dispensaries, and 60,000 treatments were given in the homes. The fifty-four hospitals and dispensaries of the Board of Foreign Missions are housed in about 125 buildings (in addition to rented and leased quarters) valued at abu $800,000. The equipment of the hospitals is estimated to be worth about $175,000. Among the more notable hospitals maintained by the Methidist Episcopal Church is that at Wuhu, China, ministering where it is the only medical center for a million people; the Thoburn Memorial Hospital, India, with one doctor, 18,000 patients, and 1,000 operations per year; the Good Samaritan Hospital, Guanjuato, Mexico, where one physician has labored for forty years, and has trained a corps of able nurses; the Kabongo Hospital in the heart of the African Congo, where one physician and his assistant give 11,000 out-patient treatments and then itinerate among the kraals and give 11,000 more treatments to needy blacks, all in a single year.

M.—The old fashioned glycerine and rose water makes the best lotion that we know for healing chapped hands. After the chapped condition has been eliminated, the arms and hands may be made beautiful by a daily massage with the following: Almond oil _____ two ounces Melt this mixture in a porcelain or double boiler. When nearly good, beat with an egg beater and add a few drops of benzoin and one ounce of rose-water. Miss New Orleans—The suggestion that you read up on Beauty-Culture before you start your course is an excellent one. You will be able to complete the course in much less time and more thoroughly understand the work as you go along. "The Successful Hairdresser" is a complete treatise on the subject of Beauty Culture. It contains more than 250 pages and covers every branch of the trade. It is not only a valuable asset to the student and prospective student but a handy reference for the finished operator. "The Successful Hairdresser" can be obtained through the Associated Negro Press, or you may write direct to the California School of Beauty Culture at Omaha, Nebr. Bobby—it has long been believed that frequent cutting of the hair is a stimulant to its growth and while this theory remains a fact in most cases, there are exceptions to the rule. Many times, too frequent bobbing will completely stop all hair growth. In this case, I advise a . monthly singe and weekly hot oil treatments. It is advisable to seek the services of an expert for the singe and the hot oil treatments as it is very necessary that the treatments be followed with a real shampoo. Grace—It has long been the belief, among haymen, that dark circles under the eyes were caused by one thing, dissipation. But this is not a fact. Lack of proper rest may cause the eyes to become darkened underneath, but the effect is only temporary. Since this discoloration remains beneath your eyes for long periods of time, it is no doubt caused by some organic affment. I would advise that you see your physician at once. You no doubt are affected with some disorder of the liver or kidneys. Mrs. A. E.—Crows feet are usually caused by age itself but sometimes worry and excessive mental strain will hasten their arrival. Plastic surgery is expensive and only successful when the entire system is in perfect tone and unless complete health prevails the operation will be a failure. Since these fine wrinkles have not become so deeply fixed in your face, whist not resist to a regular massage with a good skin food or tissue builder. Follow the daily massage with a good gistening of ice or cold water. This treatment will make the muscles firm and have a tendency to fill out where the wrinkles are. If you will send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope, I will be glad to furnish you with the name of an excellent skin builder, since it is not permissible to name manufacturers in this column. Juliette - Absolutely no. You cannot bleach almost straight hair with peroxide. It is dangerous to bleach perfectly straight hair with peroxide it is dangerous unless you have professional advice. Peroxide is drying and will only give your hair a dry and klunky appearance. If you have ever seen a blond whose hair was left too long in a permanent waving machine, you will know what I mean. DARROW AND THE NARROW BY WILLIAM PICKENS Associated Negro Press The most impressive thing about the trial of Dr. Ossian Sweet and the other ten colored people in Detroit, so far as the effort to select a jury was the fact that the GREAT MAJORITY of white people, even in a cosmopolitan northern city, admit under probing of the attorney for defense that they are "too prejudiced" against colored people to sit properly on a jury to try them. It was evident to the onlooker that some of them did not intend to make this admission when they came forward to be tested and questioned, but the quiet, good-natured, but persistent and penetrating mind of Clarence Darrow would finally bring them to it. At last a prospective woman-juryman would cry out, as if in complete capitulation: "I am very prejudiced." Or some man would finally confess: "Because of something that happened five or six years ago, I guess I couldn't have an unbiased judgment." Or some other fellow who had been left on the wrack since yesterday, and who is suddenly asked now whether he had made up his own mind that he could be just judge and accept the evidence it independent of his bias, says defeated: "I guess I had better not sit." To an intelligent colored man, sitting by and looking on, these people seem to be possessed by some awful disease, and Clarence Darrow, cool and humane seems to be probing into them for the sources and center of it. He does not act as if he wished to hurt them. He seems evidently doing his best to hurt as little as possible.

MONEY BACK GUAR-ANTIZ FREE—BARGAIN CATALOG WITH EVERY ORDER—ORDER TODAY good-natured remark, or some humorous turn given to the response of his half-writing patient, he makes them all laugh, even the patient himself. But although he seems not to want to hurt, he seems determined to find the root of that cancer of race-hatred, of inhumanity, of brutal prejudice. He usually finds it. To the onlooker, who has had much experience with this prejudice, it was evident that sometimes the man under the knife was doing his best to conceal his prejudice and to get to stay on that jury—for, lessons best known to himself. There was one horn-rimmed spectacled fellow who was lying, just as sure as we are alive, when he told that he did not belong to "any other kind of secret society" except the lodge which he mentioned. We wondered as we looked on whether Darrow also felt that the fellow was lying. Darrow never raised his voice, never appeared to feel anything, never appeared to resent any degree of prejudice which the subject disclosed. It was as if the human soul to be examined took the seat there before him in the jury, fully clothed in PRESUMPTIONS and assumptions. And then Darrow would begin to take the clothing off that soul, first by one question and then another—first the outer cloak of concealment and then on down to the last under garment, until the soul sat there naked in its attitude toward RACE and JUSTICE. Some times the soul was ashamed of its exposure, sometimes it was brazen and defiant, even sometimes almost boastful of the incurability of the disease which was discovered within. It is a serious commentary on American civilization, this trial. And it nothing less than a great human show to see this broad-minded American, DARROW, gently, humanely, and yet relentlessly exposing thefulness of these other American souls who are so NARROW.

My dandruff all left me and my hair begin to get so soft and silky that it was a delight to comb it." "Then I began to use Exelento Skin Soap on my face and the results were equally amazing. All blenishes disappeared and my face became soft, smooth and beautiful."

MARKS NEW YORK CITY "Girls Men Forget" or "Coils Of Retribution" By BERTHA MAE MEEKS PAGE FOURTEEN SYNOPSIS: Mazie Brooks, daughter of a Mothodist minister in the small mid-western town of thelme, sets her heart on winning Nostam Ramsay, son of Burton Ramsay, the wealthiest philanthropist. Then one night after reading a verse out of the Bible from a proverbial chapter to her parents, Manis suddenly finds that she can't forget the verse nor her father's mortal feature which follows. It is removed that she is intimate with Jack Clifford; a fast young man long town. Also she remembers she has been very careless of her affections for the past few years. The night of the New Year's evening given at the Ramsey's home Magic overhears Neel's proposal to Jillia. She is humiliated and angry when certain remarks made by Neel to Jillia incites that she made a tool of herself by accepting the attentions of Jack Clifford and Doctor Donald Wytsey, a young physician who is on her list of admirers. When she thinks no one is holding the gloves out into the hall, only to be detained by Dr. Watson who claims her for a dance and hibits her for a drink. She readily accepts, and Dr. Watson is surprised and amused when she cancels to step in for lunch and drink in an inappropriate routine—the private dining room on the second floor she suddenly resents. Don't allow kisses and demands that beorry her home. Raised voices and brays sounding on the doors all about them makes them realize that the house is being raided.

Lot: I was not only stunned another minute and I felt myself being riled roughly to my feet. "Got some life into you. Miss for their solitude a little journey ahead of you. Hardly knowing what I did, I stumbled blindly along by his side. I didn't know who he was, and I was feeling too ill to care. On my head ached, and the cold wind seemed to blow right through me. Soon I knew I was being wretched awry. Again the cold air blew into my face and wafted my loosened spirit about my neck and shoulder. But this time it failed to survive. My last the nerve racking ardent of the past few hours working hand in hand with the Rainey punch was demanding it's heavy flesh. My head throbbed lower and lower and my eyes were shivering. "Wake up. Miss you're home." Home! How good the mention of home sounded after such a terrible flight. I struggled to my feet and moved out again. I wondered if mother and dad were asleep. But I uttered a little servant of horror and sank back into the car. Were my senses defying me? For it was not home that greeted me. My bewildered gaze but a frightful stone structure that seemed to reach up to the sky — the othelle County jail. No, no. I can't you can't take me there. my voices trailed off into a cry of horror. I fought like a tigeress. I demanded that they carry me home. But they only laughed and stole in turn at my fault! efforts to be free. As the door of my cell changed shif- l I beat my nails against it until I could feel the blood trickling down my arms. Worried I had last soler- l I realized not防谍ment I wore dowel where Don had gone. Then, I thought of Mother and Dad. Again torrorized at my heart, strings as I visualized their shocked gripped lives when they must know the truth. I sink down on my knees there in the dump cold cell and bowed my head in conclusion. The dress I had been spared of the night before he lunged tattered and lined from my shivering term. My with clattered and my knees smoot- teth other as I tried to pray "God, don't let this break their hearts. Pather in heaven, help them to lean it." Strokes of a chilling gray dawn crop through the bars and mad warm shadows all about me. "S this is how I must begin another new year." There are some hometowns in every town I live that stand out in moments of joy or sorrow. Throughout years of joy, suffering and sorrow these moments remain indelibly impressed in our memories, always reminding us of some supreme bliss or of some height of folly. Such was the bitterest impersonation my life when I stood before Mother and Dad together as a child, who had defied the laws of God and man. I had not told you of the black pallet of suffering which hung over home for the next few days. I thought I would go and sitting there, with nothing to do but watch Dad's drooping shoulders as he strove to bear up. He did not upbraid me. He was far too hard for that. It was the second day of torture and I had fretted myself. I wondered where Don Watson was but turtled not ask. At last mother could bear up under the terrific strain no longer "to what will we do?" What will people say? We are ruined, that it's ruined forever." Her voice broke in a pitiful wall. The door bell sent forth a loud call. It sounded dreadfully mocking in that house of sorrow. I shrank back into a corner; for I felt that I would go mad if I had to speak to a single person in the theatre. When I saw that our caller was Doctor Watson I gave a sharp gasp of relief mingled with fear. I half arose and then fell back too weak to speak. He smiled as father refused his astonished hand and pointed to the door. "Before I kill you" was all I had said. "You don't understand, Mr Brooks. I am here to help you if I can. The truth is that I'm willing to marry Mazie if that will help any. Help! My heart almost stepped and I began to wring my hands in silent joy. I was not thinking of myself but of Mother and Dad. Any thing less than the aching in their hearts or to drive that expression of despair from their eyes. And although I had preferred Nad Ramey as a husband, I knew I would be respected as Jon Watson's wife. "Society soon forgets and forgets its favorites." I had read somewhere, So that very evening we were quietly unmarried with mother and Dad as the only witnesses. And before the fall of griefs the little town of Olette rang with the news of the marriage of Mazie Brooks to Doctor Jon Watson. Society gasped and with puzzled looks and wildspots shook their beaks and practiced evil. Poor Doctor Watson. It's a shame how she framed that horrible marriage of him. Such was theour heart of soil! Othel That night in Don's luxuriously furnished bedroom apartment on Parkside Ave. I drew a breath of relief. I looked over, to where he sat quietly smoking his pipe and wondered why he had hardly spoken to me since the ceremony. I made a brave attempt at cozy bedding. I lay down in his eyes toaze the wards in my mouth. Drop what's the matter? Are you worried too? I can over and put my arms about him. "God's sake," he stunned, "can't you give me in peace? Haven't you missed me enough, misery already without trying to inflict more torture? His old gray eyes lived me with an易年 star. Without petting or caring about the bird exsperience in my eyes, you will be the stranger you were in a minute. I have married you too. I didn't know you had mother in law. Take say I have no heart but I am not well. I couldn't those two old posse offer for your damaged foodstuffs and good anger. But as you I don't want to touch you I take care of you and you need me. But I guess you heard and read of women who were wives in mine only. Well, you're another. Understand! I'll support you as long as you close to remain here if I forever. But if you expect me to pay the respect I would pay the woman I would be proud to call my wife then you're mistaken. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK What does Mazie do when she finds that she is a wife in name only? How does Den's strange taunt affect her?

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, NOV. 13, 1925 "Color" By COUNTEE CULLEN First volume of Verse, by Countee Cullen, whose "I Have a Rendezvous with Life," won First Prize in a contest conducted by the Federation of Women's Clubs. He has twice won the second prize in the Contest held by the Poetry Society of America; and was recently awarded the Amy Spingarn Prize For Poetry. Although Color, just published by Harper's, is Comitee Cullen's first volume of verse, this youthful poet is so well known to poetry lovers, that cities were clamoring for review copies long before the book issued from the press. Readers of Harper's Magazine, The American Mercury, Century, The Nation, etc. are familiar with Cullen's verse, and he has often been before the public as the winner of poetry prizes. Waite at DeWitt Clinton High School, Mr. Cullen was awarded first prize in a contest conducted by the Federation of Women's Clubs with his poem, "I have a Rendezvous With Life." He has twice won the second prize in the contest held by the Poetry Society of America. Recently, he was awarded the Amy Spingarn prize for poetry, in the contest conducted by The Crisis. Only several days ago the Association of Press carried the news that he has been awarded the John Reed Memorial prize. Curtice College graduated from New York University last June, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He was elected to the Better Kappa in March. Now, he is at Harvard, working for a Master's degree. It was in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard, that an Interviewer for The Christian Science Monitor found the twenty-two year poet last week. She wrote of him in a two column newspaper article with Win. My University father is a clerkman. The things about the son in the intricate landlordation of a gentle boy ground, with kindness and sympathy and courage for its embellishment. Mr. Collen told The Christian Science Monitor reporter that after he finished his graduate week at Hurcard, he will possibly teach "their" it is not what I would wish most, he said, "but it will enable me to go on writing, which I must. My race has things to say which will help the others to understand us. You will know that we who have been given voices must not remain apart from our obligations. It is not for us to mourn prejudice, but to help to fashion the earns, which will eventually overcome it." Many of the poems in Color are, to use his own phrase, "expressions which will elicit the truths of our race more distinctly than 'simpler propaganda can'." FOR A LADY. I KNOW She even thinks that up, in heaven Her class lates and snorts. While poor black cherubs rise at sea eu Irres World that inshest me each day Data gee not cowardly beasts I seem to had no sudden way To throttle you on clip your claws No force compels me to the wound Wherof any body bears the scar Although my feet are on the ground Doubt not my eyes are on a star You cannot keep me captive.

I drink the hemback which you give For wine which you withhold and will Because I will not die, I live I live because an ember in me smoulders to regain its fire. Because what is and what has been Not yet have conquered my desire. I live to prove the groping clod Is surely more than simple dust; I live to see the breath of God Beautify the carnal crust. But when I will, World, I can go, Though triple bronze would wall me round. Slide past your guard as swift as snow Translated without pain or sound. Within myself is lodged the key To that vast room of couches laid For those too proud to live and see Their dreams of light celapsed in shade. On the jacket of Color, Carl Van Verdon says. "One of the host of Negro writers, Counter Cullen is the youngest of them all. He was barely twenty-one when The Shrond of Color (published in November, 1924, issue of the American Mercury) created a sensation analogous to that created by the appearance of Edna St. Vincent Millay's 'Renascence in 1912, lifting its author at one to a position in the front rank of contemporary poets, white or black." Walter White says: "Volunteer Cullen belongs to, that company of which A. E. Houseman and Edna St. Vincent Millay are the bright stars. His verse has an motionless depth which is extraordinary in one of Mr. Cullen's years. He matches his emotions and pictures with acid barness, while underneath the a genuine and sympathetic understanding of the joys and sorrows of life itself."

BOBINSON For Preston News Service THE JOY OF LIFE Is there no balm to heal the broken heart? No magic touch to bid life's sorrow flee? And Death, the grim, dark gate of the Unknown, Shall it be never shut, or never ope. To hide its horrors or release the flown? Shall we forever sigh the dead sans hope? Of this sweet hope, the abstract, airy vision. The Christ, her left us of the life The Christ has left us of the life reborn. Why does it not remove the horrid vision, And flood earth's darkness with its brighter morn? I beg a healing balm, unborn tomorrow's Sweet romise cannot answer for I listened to a bird that perched and sang In wildest ecstacy upon a bough; And from its soul-sent song suddenly sprang. A sweet philosophy that heals me now. A flower bloomed in beauty at my feet; Stooping, I was within its lovely face. Life's deepest meaning in a dream so sweet That even Death its touch could not erase. "Be happy, breathed to me the soft spring breeze. Sweet with kisses of the new born flowers; Be happy, sang the birds aloft the trees; I knew the secret of life's weakened powers; And like the birds, I heard Life's sweeter call. In living joy like to a pulsing stream That purged my heart of sorrow, and withal The Joy of Life Why e'en the mighty stars Sparkle with its sublime and holy glow. And play like children, free from sorrow's bars. And thrush eternal cycles dancing go! The Joy of Life! Within your love-lit eyes. It calls to me and answering. I laugh At Death, and mock Sorrows' gloomy skies; Crush you to my wild benting heart and laugh! For all the beautiful in life is mine! The birds, the flowers, and every living thing! Fur son of Earth, my Father is divine I cush you to my heart, and I am king! This new philosophy has mighty wings. With which my soul is armed to flee away. When Sorrow's gloom about its delling clings. Flee to a happier place, a sunnier day! LOOKING BACKWARD TO NOVEMBER, 1924 By Robert P.

Coroner Nevitt gave a verdict of accidental death. Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service Inauring A Race— Our insurance companies, a number of which have reached the hundred per cent plans of initiative and efficiency, are probably our greatest group asset. Negro insurance companies stand for (1) Protection, (2) Employment, (3) Investment, (4) Property Ownership, and (5) Racial Wealth. White insurance companies, so far as our group is concerned, stand for protection, only with exclusion as to certain "choice" policies for whites only, and only scant avenues of employment for our budding youth. How many physicians, lawyers, agents, clerks, stenographers, etc., of color do the white insurance companies employ? Nor can they be too bitterly censured for having merely taken our money and given us merely protection in exchange therefor; for even that was more than we had. In fact, we should be glad that through their protection, for which we paid our hard-earned cash, we have been able to care for our sick and bury our dead. But, the time has come when every Negro in America should carry a policy in a Negro insurance company. It is a public, racial, and an individual duty. A decade hence that investment may mean, aside from protection, a position for your boy or my boy. It may mean a loan for your home, which would have been denied elsewhere. It may mean the safest investment you may be able to make. Jobs, homes, and investments mean wealth. Wealth means a certain degree of independence—the aside from our labor. Negro insurance companies are stimulating our banks and our building and loan companies, which are now having a hard time because of lack of training and lack of confidence. We can't turn back at fullies, for failures, in different forms, have beset all races at some time or other. Failures in Negro insurance, though, virtually of the past. Here is an enterprise which is now out of the woods. Our group has learned the insurance business and is delivering the goods. Twenty years from now, our holders of policies in our own companies will have trebled, and our experts and other employees will have similarly advanced. Don't be skeptic. Don't knock struggling Negro business in any form. Give it your heart, your hand, and your dollars. Take out a policy with one of YOUR companies. It will mean greater independence for your son and your grandson, who will always have a hard time buying anything other than PROTECTION from any white company in the land. Modern Fairy Tale (Note: Here follows a fairy tale with apologies for the very estimable gentlemen, whose names are used, and towards whom naught but the kindliest of feelings emanate from the humble Cameraman.) Once upon a time John D. Gainey, Perry Howard, Charlie Pickett and Claude Barnett were comfortably at 3423 Indiana 'Avenue in Chicago, seated in Bill Cowan's big front office which is also known as the Windy City. Colonel Cowan had made everybody feel at home; and his box of Robert Burns "Invincibles" had dwindled down to the bottom row. The topic of conversatin had drifted to the de luxe edition of "Who's Who in Colored America" now being pushed through the press by the scholarly Roscoe Conkling Bruce and the astute Ferdinand Q. Morton, of New York City. "I tell you," drawled Gainey, as he reached for the last Robert Burns, "It looks to me like 'who was' has got 'who is' backed off the map, so far as gallant lives are concerning among the breathen of the past and the present. Now, there was Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. I don't know who we got now that equals those birds," continued the dapper assistant chief of the Railway Mall Service. "Well," quoth Perry: "I think that Roscoe Simmons is 'probably as great an orator as Douglass, and, under the same circumstances, that Dr. Motion would be great, an educator as Booker T. Washington. Nor do I wish to appear immodest, but this is the first time in the history of railway transportation that colored counsel has been employed by the Pullman Company," concluded the genial special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General. "All this sho' who stuff is not so important" observed - Colonel Bill Cowan as he asked Charlie Pickett for a match. "Now here's a man year in and year out, and who's that been with Sehator McKinley out over a gang of things for the Race; and whether his name's in 'Who's who' or not. I know he's alone a darned eight more good than a lot of galcots whose names will be engraved in gold in Roscoe Bruce's peta' snapped the Colonel, blitting right through a choice 'invincible.' "But," reasoned the diplomatic Claude Barnett, Director of the Associated Negro Press: "That's not the question, which, as Phillip Randolph or Chandler Owen would say, is an economic one, based largely upon the law of demand, and the pulling-power of vanity. I knew the colored riveter who broke the world's record and I met Tom Lee, the Mississippi River hero, when he was presented to the President but they not be in 'Who's Who' I'll bet a dime. If reputation and public opinion were based upon gallantry and public service, the economic laws governing salesmanship would have to be revised. But it stands to reason that a de luxe book, salable at ten bucks per copy—a sum which would have made Marquis and Company a millionaire corporation long ago—must be filled only with golden de luxe biographies, regardless of "Who is' or 'Who was.'" broke into the room. "Telegram for M. Barnett, sir." broke into the office. He Mr. Barnett, Jr." "Im married Claude, as he looked for waste basket. 'It may be nec- sessary to raise the price of 'Who's Who' to $12.59 per volume, because of the few number of eligibles under the strict code of requirements of the publishers." "Thought so" chuckled Colonel Cowan, "Finding our who is, and who aint in colored America, is like trying to tell the difference between fifty-seven speckled trout, all the same size and the same weight." Curtis Segregation Case With an eminent staff of counsel, comprised of such nationally famous barristers as Moorfield Storey, James A. Cobb, William H. Lewis, Arthur B. Spingarn, Louis Marshall, et al, the Curtis vs. Buckley case comes on this month for decision by U. S. Supreme Court Justice William H. Taft and his associates. The case turns upon the question of whether or not property owners may covenant among themselves for the exclusion because of race or color, of bona fide prospective purchasers. In other words, the decision will either permit or deny the creation of segregated districts for Negroes in American cities. The "joker" in the case, so far as the District of Columbia is concerned, lies in the fact that while real estate interests of the city, in one breath, attack the home life of district of Columbia Negroes, in one particular instance endeavoring to bring about a closing of the ally people resided in overflowing number to the menace and jeopardy of health and sanitation; in another breath, as Negroes, one after another, have moved into so-called exclusive neighborhoods, the desparate whites have by fair means and foul attempted to stop the black stream of increasing civilization and ambition. In language of the law, we are able to see how such a restraint upon the alienation of property as was contemplated by the agreement which was invoked to exclude Curtis can be upheld as a covenant which runs with the land. Nor can we understand how there could be such a unity of interest among separate property owners, white, black, or green to stop the freedom and liberty of the right to purchase, for appropriate consideration, any homesite in the land. If the rule against per petitions ever mean anything, now is the time to prove it. And finally we would like to ask just what is the consideration for such an agreement as is set up by the white covenantors. Good or Moral? Frankly, we cannot see any good consideration, patent or latent, in the transaction. At any rate, we have an abiding faith in the Curtis counsel, and even more so, in the body over which Chief Justice Taft presides. We cannot believe that the tribunal which found so justly in the Strander and Neal cases will take any other view than that the Constitutional civil rights of liberty and freedom are for more than a technical-worded scrap of paper, which, beneath its legal veneer, attempts to create a peculiar and unconstitutional penalty upon a people for having strains of slavery blood flowing through their vains, and a pigment which though now are varied types and tints, once had black as its base.

COLORED CONTRACTOR ON-PHILA. SKY-SCRAPERS COLORED CONTRACTOR ON-PHILA. SKY-SCRAPERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the second largest Chamber in the United States. He is also on the directorate of the Mercantile School of Arts, where he formerly was a student. He has a beautiful home in Philadelphia, and owns really in almost the heart of the city. Mr. Massiah received considerable notice recently in the Philadelphia dullies for his successful construction of an elliptical dome—a rare and difficult piece of construction—on a large church there. He built the new addition to the 22-story Finance building in downtown Philadelphia, and at the time of his visit here, he had $150,000 worth of contracts being completed. He has contracts for buildings for the Sesquicentennial Exposition to be held in Philadelphia next year, and expects to get more. No big concrete job is let in Philadelphia without Mr. Massiah getting a chance to figure on it. Sometimes his estimates of the cost is not satisfactory and his offer is rejected, but his bids are accepted enough times each year to insure Frederick Massiah a neat income. Is a Dreamer Who Works Mr. Massailah can best be described as a dreamer who worked hard to make his dream come true—and is still working. He is his own superintendent and no detail of work escapes his inspection. He has come this far simply because of the fact that he had a will and made a way. CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE practical way to combat the disease is to treat the affected. While the remedy is at hand it is very costly and the treatment of one person extends well into a year's time. The problem now faced by the Rockefeller Foundation and others interested in wiping out sleeping sickness is to find the agency for carrying on the work. Shall it be through the separate governments in Africa, thrue the missionary and philanthropic agencies, or through some agency set up by the League of Nations? That problem will engage the attention of the Foreign Missions Conference and other agencies this winter. A New Basis for Education Mr. Odham pointed out that the pouring of European and American capital into Africa since the World War for the development of her industry and commerce, has given rise on a gigantic scale to all the capitalistic problems of the West, all the political, ractah, educationon, social and cultural problems which have for generations been awaiting solution in America and in Europe. "We are living in a fool's paradise," he said, "if we think that missionaries are to maintain their present influence in Africa. Missions are now, relatively speaking, at a standstill compared with the other influences—economic, political, governmental—which are changing the whole life of Africa. Industrial, commercial and government forces are now having a great influence, and there ought to be a greater cooperation between these agencies of civilization and the missionary and educational bodies working on the continent. One of the most important questions raised at the Conference was "What kind of an education should we give the native African?" Several speakers, pointed out that the purpose of schooling should not be make "pale copies of western peoples" but to give the African a knowledge which would enable him to live better in his native village, to improve his health and the sanitation of his village, to understand and to use the mineral' and vegetable resources of his own neighborhood, to improve the home and family life, and all the while to preserve those values which are to be found in his own civilization, such as music, Negro history, art, etc. This it was pointed out required the development of a new method of teaching, based on conditions and experiences in the native village, rather than book lessons based on European experiences and of little is any value when the boy or girl returns from school to take up life in his own community. Gardening—Sanitation—Health—Diet Dr. Shantz and a number of missionaries suggested that in any education given African boys and girls they should be included a simple course in nature study, in the rudiments of gardening such as can be carried on in Africa, in simple methods of caring for health, and in sanitary methods than can be applied to the grass-roofed hut and to the entire village. It was felt that the physical well being of the African through good sanitation and through a sufficient and varied diet, must be the under-structure for any plan of higher education. In this connection Dr. Sage and Dr. Dillard were of the opinion that missionaries to Africa and those planning to go to that field, could learn much from the experiences and methods used in Negro education in this country. They advised especially the use of trained educational supervisors, somewhat like the Jeanes Fund supervisors of education employed in many southern states, for the purpose of training and stimulating the teachers in the small rural schools. They advised that the work of Hampton, Tuskegee, Penn School and other such successful institutions should be studied for methods and plans that can be applied to primitive African conditions. Plans are now being made by Dr. Jones and others to have a large group of the African missionaries now in America on furough visit some of these schools for a period of weeks before returning to their respective fields. Bureau of African Languages and Culture Missionaries pointed out that one of the greatest barriers to educational progress is the fact that Africa speaks about 800 languages and dialects. That there is scarcely any literature in these tongues, and that the personnel and means of translating seem almost unavailable at present. In only three or four of the more largely used languages of the continent it was pointed out, could one gather together a library of 20 books, while in most of the few that have been reduced to writing the entire available literature could be wrapped up in a handkerchief—two or three very small books. Mr. Oldham and Prof. Westermann announced that there is under way a plan for the organization of an "International Bureau of African Languages and Culture" in which mission boards of America, Europe and Africa and learned societies from all parts of the world will cooperate for the study of these languages, for the production of educational literature in them, and to serve as a clearing house and information center for those engaged in translating work. One of the first activities of the proposed bureau would probably be to prepare a number of necessary volumes—such as an agricultural primer, book of health rudiments, etc. in a basic togue and founded on African experiences and conditions; it would then be translated into various tongues and dialects. It is believed that this plan would prevent much unnecessary duplication of translation work, would provide a proper material for translation, and would assist in eliminating many unscientific methods of reducing unknown languages to writing. Studying Educational Methods Announcement was made that the Carnegie Foundation has given the sum of $37,500 to the Jeanes Fund officers for the purpose of extending the work of that Fund into Africa. It will be used in providing for supervising teachers. James W. C. Dongall, of Scotland, who has travelled extensively in African studying educational conditions, has been sent out to Kenya as the first educational director under this fund. American missionary and other agencies are sending to Liberia to study educational conditions James L. Sibley who has had a number of years of similar experiences in Alabama among Negro schools; it is expected that he will later make recommendation for the future of school work of missions in that country.
