This organization prides itself in being the only one of color to publicly declare its allegiance to and support of the Republican Party in the national election of November, 1924, and believe that its pronouncement was made in time to prevent a serious defection of the colored vote from the Republican Party, to afford of many of the most prominent and influential representatives of the race to entice away the support of colored voters from the Republican ticket, and we believe that the attitude taken by the League encouraged the colored voters to remain loyal to the grand Old Party. Therefore in the name of this League and the American Citizens of color, we appeal to you to use both your personal influence and the power of your great office to right the wrongs this group has result of race hatred among the most aggravated of which are following to wit: The segregation and discrimination against employees of color in Federal Departments at the National Capital (herewith is attached a list of the places where this segregation and discrimination are practised). 2nd.

Dec. 2—For the second time within four months the residence of C. G. Slayes, colored mail carrier, has been wrecked by a powder explosion. Early Thursday morning neighbors were aroused by the blast, which caused $1,000 damage. Slayes fired five shots from a gun following the blast which awoke him. The house was damaged in a similar manner October 17, and the adjoining house of A. S. Starks, also colored, was damaged. The remaining residences in the block are occupied by whites. Slayes' wife, who told the police she awoke ten minutes before the explosion, said she switched on a porch light, and heard the sound as if of a falling object, followed by the crash of milk bottles. Starks, the neighbor, said he also heard the sounds, and when he peered out of a window saw a white 'man run from the Slayes' yard. Following the initial bombing of Slayes' home, he received an anonymous letter warning him to "leave the residence and the block for good." The police report the letter to the police he said. Scott Turner, colored of 3111 Grand avenue, a block away, said he was looking out of a window just before the explosion and saw a white man running across a vacant lot adjoining his house.

When Thomas testified in City Judge Beck's court Wednesday that Motocycle Policeman Knowles (white) had offered to release him for alleged traffic violations for the sum of $5, the officer struck him in the face. In turn, Thomas arose, and landed on his assailant almost knocking him down. After the disturbance had finally been quieted, Judge Beck gave the flying cop a good talking to, and ended by offering him a choice of a $10 fine or a citation for contempt of court. The muchly outdone Knowles chose the latter and was bound over for trial. Thomas was charged with incorrect regulation of the tail light of his automobile. The case was continued until December 22.

Avers Kip Had Advantage By Being Rich And White MILLS SCORES JONESES Declares Daughters Sought After White Men. Charges Alice Deceived Kip Thru Silence NEW YORK, Dec. 3—With more like the sincerity and faith of a father pleading for an unburdened daughter than a lawyer mechanic cessness of a lawyer professionally bent on freeing a woman from the law by astute reasoning. Lee Pearson Davis counsel for Mrs. Alice Kip Rhinelander concluded his summation for the defense Wednesday after almost 15 hours. Isaac N. Mill, counsel for Leonard Kip Rhine lander, the husband, followed him with an argument condemning the defense—an argument craftly described last week. Alice Jones had deliberately deceived Rhinelander info marrying her by not declaring her color. He appealed to the instincts of the jurors as a means of winning them to these contentions by, painting Mrs. Rhinelander, almost as a creature that it would be vile for a man with a white skin to associate with. Justice Mauschaauer's charge sends the trial to the jury which will decide the case. Buffalo Womanhood Atty. Davis surprised the court Monday, when he made it known that he would not call any more witnesses to the stand, but his motive became clear when he declared: "We have rested this case with out calling Alice Rhincelander or her father, Mr. Jones," continued Mr. Davis. "Why is that? It is for this simple reason: We are determined that this girl shall no longer be dragged in the nile by the slender man and be dragged in the river and which he has threatened to use in an effort to tear to pieces what little reputation this poor girl still possesses. If I am the only one to stand between this young girl and absolute ruin," said Mr. Davis in his opening words. "They have torn from her ruthlessly every scrap of respectability that a woman loves most. There isn't another thing they can do to this girl except one, and that would be for you to add the last straw and say, 'I will not mutt out into the world as a fraud.' One failure, on my part, to produce one single argument may result in absolute ruin to her."

Dies A Martyr In French Foreign Legion Heroic Colored Soldier From U. S. Dies A Martyr In French Foreign Legion NEW YORK. Dec. 2. -Associated Press stories this week bore commendatory accounts of the valor of a Colored American Soldier, who received wounds while fighting in the ranks of the French Foreign Legion in Morocco from which he died in a French hospital a short time ago. "The valiant, soldier," read the special cagle story from Paris, "Daniel Cole of Detroit, was one of the most interesting, members of the French Foreign Legion composed of about forty picked soldiers. Cole was a graduate of the University of Michigan and of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During the World War he worked as an airplane designer in France with the firm of Breguet, and when the war was over, after trying vainly to enter the French aviation service, he enlisted Finally in the Foreign Service. "Here his devotion to duty earned rapid promotion; he was a corporal in four months and a sergeant in nine—an unusual record in the logion. "Ever since last April the Foreign Legion has borne the brunt of Adb-El-Krim's attacks, and did most of the fighting until reinforcements were hurried from France. It was in a minor operation in the "Taza stain spot," as the French call the region around the town of that name, that Cole received his Lital wound, being the only man of his unit hit. When he was buried at Casablanca his American lieutenant, Hamilton, placed flowers on his grave." HOSPITAL NO.2 DISCUSSED BY MAYOR MILLER Says He Has No Preference As To Location. Tells His Auditors They Are Poor And Helpless and Must Take What Is Given Them HE ADVISES AGAINST THEIR RACE LEADERS In one of his characteristic speeches last Monday afternoon, Mayor Miller reiterated that part of his addresses referred to the colored people, when he spoke recently before the Women's Republican Club, at the Chamber of Commerce, stressing particularly that part which referred to barriers between the races." The Mayor had been invited to speak on the question which is now giving the colored people of the city some reason that of relocating City Hospital No. 2. He began his remarks by saying in part: "Since I have become Mayor I have, on one occasion, in a public address, mentioned you people. And that was before the Republican Women's Club at the 'Chamber of Commerce, recently. I said substantially, this; "We have in the City of St. Louis approximately 10,000 Nergess, and we must take care to see that their lives are secure; their children educated and proper facilities provided for their health problems. There has always been, there is now, and possibly forever will be a barrier between the white race and the Negro; but in so far as the activities of government are concerned, all men and women are committed to the same benefits and protection. "I mean that so far as the law is concerned they should be no difference in its operation, regardless of race or ered. When I was Police Commissioner here, I found that 80 per cent of all the crimes in the city were committed by whites; but I also found that 40 per cent of those in the penal institutions were colored. I know you people do not get a square deal. So you see that you are helpless. There are fifteen million (15,000,000) colored people in the United States; but you can do it anything by fighting so against you, you can fight your way, cause you haven't got the money; so the only thing you can do is to elec men to office who will help you, not promise. "Those of your race that you looked up to, sold you out at the last election. Therefore I was only elected by a few thousand votes, but I am Mayor just the same; and Mayor of all the people. Every citizen owes a duty to the Mayor. But I find that there are a few birds who would sell the Tu Commandments, who are opposing me. If persuasion won't do it, then force must be used to make them do their duty." Discusses the Hospital In discussing the relocating of City Hospital No. 2, Mayor Miller emphatically denied that he had any preference as to the location. When pressed by Prof. F. L. Williams, as to who initiated the new move in the Board of Aldermen, the Mayor said he did not know, but supposed that the one who introduced it. He admitted that when it came to the question of economy, it was always practiced on the coped people. In response to the hospital situation, the Mayor in part: "The Mayor has nothing to do with the locating of the hospital. The Board of Aldermen is the proper place for your complaint. I would suggest that you take this matter up with the Board and demand what you want. But you must go as a unit if you hope to get anywhere with your cause. One faction making this demand, and another faction that demand is only furnishing an excuse for the Board to give you nothing. "I know it has always been wrong to practice economy upon you people, but it is done. You are the ones who should be educated and given every opportunity. It is for the Board of Aldermen to locate the hospital, and when it is completed, then, it is up to the Mayor to run it. And as long as I am Mayor, regardless to the location, I will see that it is run by policemen, nurses, etc. from top to bottom." In conclusion, the Mayor read some figures showing what a saving it would be to the city to have hospital No. 2 down at No. 1. "$126,825," he said. "would be saved in twenty years." Robert T. Scott, Committeeman from the Sixth Ward, took exception to what he termed as taking a million dollars of the money voted for the colored hospital and putting it in some other pocket. Prof. Frank L. Williams, Chairman of the Citizens Committee, that is opposing the return of the hospital to the old site. In response, gave a brief history of the case, and said that the hospital down to No. 1. Rev. J. L. T. Caston and Rev. S. A. McMaxwell also made strong breeches against the proposed change; while Rev. O. C. Maxwell asked some very pertinent questions.

Friday. Two of the indictments were for the felonies killing of two colored men, James Howell and James Terry, and one for assault upon another colored man, Henry Wooten, with a deadly weapon. Even with such grave indictments against him, Stanley was released on a $2,500 bond to appear at the next session of court to answer the charges. the hospital counties carried on by Crandall at the court camp ever since 1908, of which the very telling caused listeners to quake were brought to light due to the discretion and humanity of Mrs Kate Burr Johnson, commissioners of welfare, who on the basis of inquiries, ordered an investigation. One of the stories told by the score or more of white and colored witnesses who testified against Crandall would make Pharoah, who oppressed the Israelites, appear easy as a cruel task master. Six Men Killed Stanley was connected with the death of at least six men. The charges connected him with tortures from whipping prisoners to death, dragging them behind trucks until they were dead, forcing them to eat human excrement, and forcing them to take a pint of salts, to hang them by their neck. Two white men who were on the chalengin in 1918, testified having seen Crandall so unnerecibly bearing two colored men on an afternoon that they died next morning. A colored member of the Stanley chalengin gang partly undressed and showed the court a body torn with scars as wide as one's finger. He swore they were marks from a beating administered him by Crandin in 1923. Dr. Lenz testified that a few months ago, Crandid had Henry Awooten, colored-chained to a truck and dragged over rough, stony ground resulting in his death a short time later. One witness said that the white officer had beaten him seven times in eight months. Ask Three Indictments Judge McElroy in charging the grand jury asked the body to take care of the perilousness and brutality of Cranford's the Cranford strongly denied his guilt in all the charges against him, his indictment was asked in only three cases. Cranford resigned as superintendent of the convict camp following his indictment. It is generally believed, although it has not been officially announced, that the board of county commissioners will at their December meeting abolish the Stanley county chain that the board has authority at their discretion to abolish that gang that authority having been granted by special act of the last legislature.

Tears From Audience As Attorney Clarence Darrow Makes Final Plea NEW YORK, Nov. 28—Walter White, Assistant Secretary, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People returned this morning from Detroit where he had been throughout the trial of Dr. Gssian H. Sweet, and ten other Negroes, charged with murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mobster September 8. Mr. White's report of the present status of the Sweet case, which has commanded nation-wide attention, is as follows: After 46 hours of violent argument; which could be heard sometimes by persons outside the jury room, the jury disagreed. It was rumored that five jurors had stood for acquittal and seven for acquittal of the defendant, and of second degree murder for 3 of the defendants. The jury was dismissed at 1:31 p. m. on Friday, November 27 and shortly thereafter. Darrow filed a motion for a new trial and made a second motion that all eleven defendants be admitted to bail. New trial has been agreed for the first week in January. Eight of the defendants were once admitted to bail in $5,000 each which was furnished by colored citizens of Detroit, but opposition from the prosecutor in the case of the remaining three, led Judge Frank Murphy to set Wednesday December 2, for argument. Mr. White returned to Detroit Wednesday in time for argument for bail for the remaining three. Sweet, Henry Sweet and Leonard Morris, who were still held. They were admitted to bail in $10,000 each. Contrary to published reports in the daily press, Mr. Darrow has not yet asked for separate trials, for such of the 11 defendants but he announced that he probably would do so. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in connection with the news that the disagreement and the motion for a trial that it would fight the case while there was any court in the land to appeal to until the 11 colored people were acquitted. Mr. White stated that the expenses of the trial to date had been about $20,000, the transcript of testimony alone costing $2,081.60. "One of the most impressive sights I have ever seen," declared Mr. White, "the way in which colored people in Detroit flocked to the court. He had after midnight on Thanksgiving morning, who jury was still arguing and sent out for instructions, the courtroom was packed. At 2:10 in "the morning, when the jury was sent to bed, bailiffs had to make way through the crowd for the jurymen. All Thanksgiving Day colored people remained waiting and watching, many of them going without Thanks giving Dinner in order to be on hand. "I want to pay a tribute to the magnificent way in which Judge M. McDowell induced me to judge his himst to exclude the issue of race prejudice and his final charge to the jury was a masterpiece of scholarly learning and judicial impartiality. "The case has largely changed public sentiment in Detroit. The better class opinion is now with the defendants, although the Klan is more bitter than ever. But the N. A. P. and the A. P. case and both Messrs. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays will continue to lead the defense until a conclusion has been reached." Darrow's Flea Bring: Tears A jammed courtroom was moved to tears by the closing plea of Clarence Darrow, as he summed up the case, when he said: "To me this case is a cross section and a study of human emotions," declared Mr. Darrow. "It involves the 'future and the hope of some of us that the future shall be better, than the past.' In speaking of the 11 defendants, Mr. Darrow said: "I speak not only for them but for a race which, however you may do, will go on and to heights never reached before. I speak for a million Negroes who have some hope in the future of the land. I speak to you in behalf of those whose ancestors were brought here in chains. I speak in behalf of the faces, those black faces, which have haunted this courtroom ever since this trial began. I ask you in behalf of yourselves, our race, to see that no harm comes to them.

MAYOR MILLER SETS DATES FOR HEALTH WEEK In an effort to impress upon the public the necessity for more sanitary conditions and the prevention of contagious disease circulation, Mayor Miller has issued a proclamation designating next week as "Health Week." The proclamation reads: "The greatest asset that any community may boost of is its health. It means more in natural value than all other holdings combined, and we here in St. Louis are justly proud of our position in regard to health. "With the idea of making our condition even more sanitary and freer from contagious and communicable disease, I. Victor J. Miller, Mayor of the City of St. Louis, do hereby proclaim the week of December 6 as "Health Week," to the end that we may vividly call to the attention of all adult citizens and children the educational message of promotion of health and the prevention of disease. Health Sunday Celebration More than fifteen colored churches in St. Louis are making extensive plans for the celebration of Health Sunday, which will be observed on December 6 this year under the auspices of the Faberculosis Society of St. Louis. The following week will also be observed as Health week, and health talks and movies will be featured during that time at all meetings of school organizations, churches, clubs, factories and foreign groups. This celebration of Health Week will be one of the feature events of the 1925 Christmas Health Soil Campaign, which began December 1 and will continue until Christmas Eve. Hans have been so extensively made that the sale will be carried on in all parts of the city and county, and as the little Christmas soil sells for only a penny, it is expected that every man, woman and child will contribute some bit to this great life-saving, enterprise, the Tuberculosis Society. Another event of the Seal Campaign will be School Day, which is scheduled for Tuesday, December 15, this year, and which will be promoted in colored schools by a committee of prominent colored women. The seal sale will be given added impetus in colored schools this year because of the recent opening of an open air school for colored children. All the money raised in schools in St. Louis is spent on open air school work, and all of the money raised in colored schools will be spent on the new colored open air school. "THE CHURCH FIGHT" Mrs. Ruth Shelton's prize play, "The Church Flight" will be presented at Union Memorial Church, Wednesday night, December 16.

The annual Christmas appeal to "mail carly" was issued Saturday by Postmaster General New, along with the announcement of plans to expedite the service. The people of the United States, he said, have it within their power to adjust the enormous holiday burden on clerks and carriers so that these too, may enjoy the season. "A Merry Christmas is in store for each one of us if we will only stop to consider for a few moments how the facilities of the Postoffice will be taxed from now until after the holiday season." he asserted. "The American public will do well to remember that many a hard worked letter carrier or postal clerk may be deprived or enpleying the Christmas Day at his own fireside if the Christmas shopping and mailing is postponed until the last moment. "Do not wait until tomorrow: start today!" ^ These with nothing to say never miss a chance of saying it. How often, how often, in trying to make something better, we only make it much worse. THE ST.

TOLERANCE EDITION IS ISSUED BY MINN: PAPER MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 2.—The Tolerance, Club, an outgrowth of Good Will Week, reached a climax in its liberal facts last week, when clergymen representing divergent religious faiths edited the Minneapolis Daily Star. 4r. Dewey represented the Minneapolis Council of Churches, which includes all Protestant denominations except the Lutherans. The pastor-editors established the policy of the Star and passed upon every piece of copy for its news and editorial columns. Fairness Is Sought Each editor furnished a signed editorial teaching upon the virtue of tolerance from either the religious, racial, social, or political angle, and an effort was made to issue a model news paper from the standpoint of fairness to all classes and groups which make up our own citizenship and that of other countries. Doctor Smith's cartoon showed the Spirit of Tolerance, closing Pandora's box and imprisoning untain the evils of the world which intolerance permitted to escape. Letters of commendation from archbishops, bishops, and other prominent clergymen and statements on the value of tolerance from prominent laymen, had a prominent place in the news columns.

One of the leading features is Eugene Landrum's Chicago Jazza Five, and it is announced that a band concert will be given in front of the theatre before the first show Monday night. Among the featured principals in the company are Melvin Hunter, Mabel Dilworth and Froel Clarkston, the acrobat. There will be no advance in admission prices.

They mix some good singing and dancing with humorous engagerated narratives and win applause. Grie and White. Their song numbers go over big, with Mr. Grie at the piano and Mr. White holding up the vocal end. They also indulge in some witty conversations, which in indes burlesquia, tragedy and a dope head's ravings. The blues are included, also some fast dancing. The Brice Trio, opened as a "crow" but increased later in the week. Singing, dancing and some comedy make up this act, with the male member doing a buck on roller skates, as a feature. Speedy and Jessie close the show. This is a lively net with some original snappy and witty cross fire conversation. Their songs go over nicely, and they come to a final with a conversational song that requires a gun and a jumbo razor to settle their differences. "SEYRN-ELEYEN" PACKING THE GAYETY TWICE DAILY "Seven-Eleven" the first all colored show to appear on the Columbian Circuit, is packing the Gayle Theatre twice daily this week. "It's a real big attraction built to entertain without lavish display of scenery and brilliant costumes. It's up to the players and they are surely making good. There is very little bucksque in the production. Originality stands out with two individual efforts. Among the principals are Speedy Smith, Garland Howard, Mac Brown and Sam Cook. There is no plot, worth mentioning; only a cause for action. This is based on the fact that Smith, as "Stowall," gets enough money for Howard, as "Hotstuff Jackson," to influence him to buy a hotel. A Hindu faker helpses "Stowall" and he is hypnotised into dream that makes him believe he is in the entrancing "Zigabo" land. It gives opportunity for a "variety of entertaining and space, will not permit a detail review. These are many not only features, of which we may mention: the chatees for Howard and Brown to display their excellent singing and dancing art; Speedy Smith's inimitable dum comedy; Cook's typical Chinese characterization; the sweet singing of Eddy Gray and Mary Scott; the dancing of McClaver; the thrill of the quartette and jazz band; and a chorus of good-looking girls who put everything they have in the act of jazz, syncapation and the popular "charleston." A "Midnight Ramble" will, be given this Friday night and the engagement will close Saturday. THE PICTURE THEATRES THE JENTAMERE "Gambling Wives" will be the feature at the Jentamere Theatre 'this Saturday.' It's the story of a woman who based her life and happiness on the turn of a card. "The Half Way Girl" will be the attraction on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Delis Kenyan and Lloyd Hughes are the stars in this story of love in the orient. It is land in glamorous Singapore, wickiest city in the world, and on the treacherous South Seas. It combines a tense love drama with rapid fire and thrilling action. Mahay Street, most notorious of all underworld districts, is the scene of the plot. Two big listights between men and a shooting affray are staged there. A 4,000-ton steamship carries the plot out upon a stormy sea. This vessel actually was bought from the 'U. S. Shipping Board for the scenes that follow. The liner is set on fire in mid-ocean. A cargo of wild beasts are turned loose, to battle with the terrorized passengers. Thousands of gallons of bensine, in the hold, are touched off. The ship is pictured as it is aboard at atoms. "Three Keys," a story that unlocks a whole storehouse of thrills, laughter and piquant mystery, will be the Wednesday special. "My Wife and I" will be presented on Thursday and Friday, Irene Rich is the star, As the story goes, Betty Allen, a beautiful gold-digger, is working young Stuart for all he is worth, when the father steps in, and puts a step to the affair. But in doing so he himself becomes infatuated. And the wife has the oppressively difficult task of steering both her husband a son clear of the siren's charms. Tom Mix will be presented in "The Everlasting Whisper," at the Comet- Theatre on Saturday and Sunday. This, of course, is a picture of thrills and "Tony" the horse, is responsible for many of them.

A double feature: Buffalo Bill, Jr in "The Desert Demon," and "Pretty Ladies" will be presented on Tuesday. Ann Pennington and Johnnie Walker are principal stars in "The Mad Dancer," on Wednesday, Frank Merrill and Marguerite Snow in "Savages of the Sea," also Richard Talmadge in a stunt-action picture, will be Thursday specials. "Exchange of Wives" and "Hearts O. The West" will be presented next Friday. THE OLYMPIA "The Pony Express" will be the big attraction at the Olympia Theatre on Saturday and Sunday. It is a herole romance of the lightning riders of the old frontier; a cross section of those unsettled, turbulent pre-Civil War days when the fate of our nation trembled in the balance; when the slavery question was a burning issue and tremendous forces were marshaling on both sides preparatory to splitting the Union asunder; when the lightning riders of the Pony Express were the only means of communication between the wavering fringe of civilization in western Missouri; and the new and mighty empire on the Pacific, which had leaped to the forefront of importance by the discovery of gold. Betty Compson and Rizardo Cortez are the leading stars. Florence Vidor and Tom Moore in "The Trouble Makers," also a western drama, "Riders of the Past," will be Monday specials. Cullen Landis and Barbara Bedford will be seen in "The Mausion of Aching Hearts," on Tuesday, "Playthings of Desire" will be shown on Wednesday; and "The Tower of Lies" with Lon Chaney and Norma Shearer, will be the big attraction for next Thursday and Friday. THE VENUS "The Pony Express" will be presented at the Venus Theatre four days. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a thrilling, colorful, historic tale of the old West. Based on the true story of the romantic Pony Express, which carried the mail 1966 miles from Missouri to California in seven and one-half days. The story is woven around the efforts of the North and South to control California, the newly discovered land of riches commanding the commerce of the Pacific, just before the outbreak of the Civil War. In this effort the pony express played a vital and dramatic part. Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrence and Wallace Beery are the quartet of featured players. Rex, the wild horse, will be featured in "Black Cyclone." on Wednesday and Thursday. The picture is something almost miraculous. For it is difficult for a mere spectator to understand how any director or trainer could get a horse to register a personality—woo his lady, to nose around in the herd and drive out undesirable horses, to plunge, into battle, to try to make Man understand his horse talk—and countless other subleties. "Reginald Denny in 'California Straight Ahead.' will be the feature next Friday and Saturday." THE LINCOLN Constance Talmadge is the featured star in "Her Sister From Paris" at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. It is a charming story of a wife who taught her husband to love. Constance plays two distinct roles—one the wife and the other a wild masquerade as a madeap Parisian dancer. Jack Hoxie will be presented in "Two Fisted dones" on Sunday. It is a stirring drama of the West emphasizing the daring of a man in love whose aim in life is to clear up injustices. The love interest runs through the picture with Kathryn McGuire as the leading lady. A headlong dash up the aisle of the church on horseback to stop a wedding is one of the exciting moments. James Kirkwood in "The Police Patrol" and Florence Vidor with Tom Moore in "The Trouble With Wives" will be Monday specials. "Rugged Waters" on Tuesday; "Charley's Aunt," and "No Man's Law" on Tuesday; "The Pony Express" on Thursday, and "Wild Wild Susan," also "The Outlaw's Daughter," next Friday, are all big attractions. THE CRITERION Thomas Meighan in "The Man Who Found Himself" will be the special at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. It is the story of a man who borrows, from the bank funds to "cover up" his brother's losses and is seat to Sing Sing. When he once more faces the light of freedom, Tom's outlook on life has been completely changed. His father is dead. Every one turns his back on him. Even the girl who said she would walt, has married his business rival. He's dead set against everything and everybody. Tom Mix in "The Everlasting, Whisper" will be the Sunday special. Set in the vast splendor of the rugged Northwest, it is the story of a vrite man who loves as he fights and fights very well indeed. The "plot differs somewhat from the usual type of "western" in which Tom has broken men and horses. In "The Everlasting Whisper," he beams a little tigress of society and, in taming her, makes her love him.

The converting of many hundreds of miles of wild jungle lands into well tilled farm land has begun in preparation for the planting of a hundred million rubber trees. Peoples from every end of the earth are gathered here to carry on the task. By January 1, 240 representatives of the Akron company will be in Liberia, pushing forward the project which Mr. Firestone said will be supplying between 25 and 33 per cent of the rubber within the next decade.

This first planting will be completed within the next six months and a quota of at least the same size will be completed in the six months following. The Liberian acquisition and development by the American company is certain to bring down rubber prices which have bounded upwards in the last several months, in Mr. Firestone's opinion. "Planters the world over" have had the feeling /that America has only been bluffing in its rubber projects." Mr. Firestone said. It has appeared to them that the United States manufacturers have not been willing to invest money with a return no nearer than five or six years. They believe they have noted an American desire to cash in on investments at once and that therefore the Americans are not inclined to make any thorough developments. This attitude is rapidly changing now as our work goes forward in Liberia." Following the entry of the Firestone forces into the little African republic, the company's head announced that 35,000 acres had been acquired in Tabasco on the isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico and that rubber already was being extracted from trees planted there by other interests several years ago. In addition to these enterprises, Mr., Fireston capped his wide-wide rubber quest with the announcement that he was seriously considering entering the Amazon basin in South America where millions of acres of rubber lands are undeveloped. Three concessions have been obtained by the Firestone company from the Liberian government. The first was the lease of 2,000 acres of land, previously held and partly developed by British planters.

The second lease, which is the million-acre acquisition, gives the American company not only the right to plant, and produce rubber on that acreage, but gives it all other rights, such as mineral sub-soil and timber rights. The timber rights are given the company, tax-free. A third grant by the Liberian government gives the company the right to construct its own lines of communication within and without the plantation for its private use, without taxation. In addition to the planting, caretaking, and collecting of rubber, the Firestone company is improving the harbor at Monrovia, the seat of Liberian government. From the harbor, roads will be constructed to radiate into the hinterlands. In the entire area of the country, which is 43,000 square miles—almost exactly that of the state of Ohio—there are but 100 miles off passable highway. This mileage is segregated and unconnected. Hospitals also will be built and laborers' huts will be constructed for the housing of the natives who are to be brought from their pagan villages into the modern sanitary areas of American-built towns. Provision is being made for the importation of foodstuffs to replace the local production that will be lost when the natives cease cultivating their own farms and go to work on the rubber plantation. Several thousand of these laborers will shortly be at work for the American concern, employment being made on the basis of one man to every two acres. Thus, if 50,000 acres are planted within the next six months as is contemplated, 25,000 natives will be employed for that PAGE FIVE DECEMBER 10-LI It was thinking of a younger woman, forgetting the year his helpmate had minimed in his happiness and comfort "MY WIFE AND 1" From the Novel by WALTER PEECHER STOWE IN "THE BEAUTIFUL CITY" WEDNESDAY DEC. 9 Franklin Farnum in "THE CAMBLING FOOL" A Smashing Western Thriller of Love, Life nad Chance FRIDAY DEC. 11 "Eve's Lover" He tried to be a rogue and a cheat but her overpowering love changed his towdry dress to gold!

The plantation development consists of several operations in its crop aspect alone. First, the ground must be cleared of the jungle. The brush is heaped high and is burned in sections covering several hundred acres, over which the fires rage for a week or more. Following the burning, the area is staked off, one stake for each rubber tree. Holes are drilled after each stake is pulled, trees are set out. It will cost $100 an acre to prepare the ground and to plant the trees. Mr. Firestone estimates. It requires five years for the rubber trees to reach the stage at which they should first be tapped for rubber sap. The trees usually live to be 100 years old, furnishing rubber throughout this period. For several years, the shipping facilities at present provided to Liberia will be sufficient, Mr. Firestone believes. Ships now ply regularly coastwise from London and other European ports to Monrovia and from New Orleans and New York to Liberia. The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association will hold its fifteenth annual session at Hampton Institute on December 11-12, 1925.

PAGE SIX MAN SAID TO HAVE BEEN BEATEN SEEKS REVENGE BY SHOTTING UP TAKES Max Roggerson, known as "Sweet" ran annuck Monday night at 8:15 o'clock, when he burst into the room occupied by Oscar Bright at 3402 Lawton boulevard, and began firing his pistol. When the smoke had cleared away it was discovered that "Sweet" had wounded four persons who were having a "little party" at the Lawton boulevard number. They were William Davidson, 29, of 3025 Lawton boulevard, shot in the abdomen; Harry "Snow" Holiday, 29, of 2214 bucs avenue, shot in the groin; Howard Sydnor, 42, of 3402 Lawton boulevard, shot in the left thigh and right hip; Charles Brown, 27, of 3417 Laclede avenue, shot in the back. All were conveyed to the City Hospital in an ambulance and are in serious conditions. Police who investigated the shooting say that they were told "Snow" Holiday had buildboard and beaten his assault by a poolroom on Market street near Jefferson, prior to the shooting, and feeling his mistreatment, he swear not - gunning for "Snow," whom he found at the Lawton boulevard address. Detectives are looking for "Sweet." CIRCIT ATTORNEY ABDISHES AN Q10 SYSTEM An old tangle stamp used by the clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction in making notations on files of cases ordered held by the judges of the court, was abolished Tuesday at the request of Circuit Attorney Siffert. Under the change in the constitution of the state, adopted in 2007, defendants can be tried only by indictment or information, and since the crimes tried on preliminary hearing or based on information, the defendants are required to be held for the circuit courts. The old stamp, however, read 'held for the grand jury.'

Isome's exhibition of speed followed several shirts fitted by principal jokers, and a shaking with cold water. Louise told Chloe of Detective James Leathy. But he had been paying the school $4 a lesson every week on April. In addition, he paid these $20 for the star and $8 for two tickets from which he was to learn a bachelor's titration. Jaws saw the detective "should Know", and Detective Encyclopedia. The graduate detective said he was a faker or until a week ago when he coupled his courses. He was told to get out of town and go back to investigating by Leathy. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE In the case was race prejudice. "If we can't convince you by logical argument that the defendant should have your verdict we should not the practice of law," he said, "but there isn't an argument in the world that can batter successfully against the wall of race prejudice. That is the only thing we are afraid of. That is why we asked you, and ask you again to be fair." Man To Blame Asserting that Trip was the agressor in the love affair and not Alice Atty. Davis declared: Rhinelander said that because the girl was older she was to blame, but his advantages more than offset the difference in their ages. Mr. Davis contended. "Look at the difference in their opportunities." said Mr. Davis. "This boy is beyond his years: his face shows it. She was a housemaid although that's no disgrace. On the other hand, we have Rhinelander, the son of a wealthy man who traces his descent in a joie line from the Hugenots, surrounded by every luxury, who has traveled much in the world, the son of a gentleman, That's what counteracts the disparity in ages." Some powerful influence was behind the suit to annul the marriage, exclaimed Mr. Davis again and again. Let Filth Be Exposed In referring to the letters read in the suit and especially the mystery letter, Atty. Davis stated: "Who protested, against the filth in this case?" he said. "Who cautioned that if they started it we would see the fight through? Would you have us sit here and watch them drag this girl in the sewer?" He asked for the adjournment after producing the mystery letters, he said, so as to give Judge Mills time to read them and decide "whether he would degrade this HILLS asked for time to investigate, he said, but all the investigating that was done was a five minute talk with khinelander in all the long adjournment. The fifth in the case was unnecessary anyway, he said. "This could have been tried in chambers," he continued. "But they wanted to throw slime and see what its reaction would be on twelve men." As an attorney at the bar I am opposed to trying cases like this in public. I am not criticizing the newspapers for publishing it when it is offered to them, but I would never let them have a chance at it. This case should never have been tried before the world, because we do not know what terrible effect this case may have on youth, not only of this country but of the entire world. Atty. Davis also spoke of the ordeal Mrs. Rhinelander had to undergo in exposing her body to the jury. It was impossible that Rhinelander did not know his wife's color, the lawyer declared, "You saw a portion of her body," he said, "Can you say he had no suspicion that she had colored blood? Do you believe it? How can you? It is against every probability. I expect another amendment at any moment asserting that Rhinelander was color blind." The order to which Mrs. Jones was subjected, he said, was the earliest thing he ever had seen in a courtroom. The appeal to the jury to do what was possible to remove the charge of fraud from Mrs. Rhinelander, the only charge which can be removed, for he said, "he will walk out of court shunned by the colored race and shunned by the white race." Mrs. Rhinelander's head was bowed and she sobbed as Mr. Davis ended: "May your verdict, before God and man be fair." Anneals To Bais In contrast with the humanness of Atty, Davis' plea, Atty, Mills gave his soulless summation. "You might as well bury this young man six feet deep in the soil of the old churchyard where his early American ancestors sleep as to condemn him to be chained for eternity to this colored woman." Isaac N. Mills, chief of the Rhinelander legal battery, hurled that utterance into the jury box in the Rhinelander annulment action today. The young wife, crouched in a chair within arm's length of the lawyer, shrank back at the ferocity of the attack, at the arm extended in denunciation of her. "There is not a father among you," he said, "who would not rather see his son in a casket than wedded to this mulatto woman." Mills attacked Kip's father, Phillip Rhinelander, saying, "the father is more to blame for the fool position that this young man has brought himself into than the young man himself." Ku Klux Threats Through his entire summation, Davis stressed the charge that the Rhinelanders through their attorney Leon R. Jacobs, had sought to intimidate the Jobes with a threat of Ku Klux Klan violence. Atty. Mills charges that Alice and her younger sisters sought after white men. "They went to a white church, and the daughters, sought white men on the streets of New Rochelle and brought them home," the declared, "where the mother received them without asking their names." "Thus dhini-lander entered that home, with the definite purpose of an adolescent youth" with a girl who had picked him up." What Editors Are Saying The Nepra The Negro is a human being. Under the Constitution his rights are precedent those of any other citizen. And so are his obligations. These are not all the facts. Of importance too is the fact of Race, which is not understood as yet; indeed, attempts to understand it are scorned and deounced, and efforts are made to suppress it. The fact of Race cannot be suppressed. The fact of Race does not concern the Negro alone. All the Race Questions that can possibly exist rise from suppressing the fact, not from fading it. It is one of the strongest aspects of our ignorance in these matter that we conceive the realization of Race to be the origin of the Race Problem, when really its origin is the attempted suppression of that realization. Races are here. They differ. Each has its function. Superiority is not a matter of argument but of achievement. Inferiority is not decided by achievement but by opportunity. Race lines are fixed. Nature punishes transgression with destruction. These are facts. And Race Rights are also facts. The turn which the Negro's problem has taken in this country is interesting. Formerly the plea was made that he was deserving of assistance. He was regarded as a protege who needed and expected help. The collection plate and the uplifter's program always hovered near him. It is now emphasized, however, that the Negro might help himself. Given industrial opportunity he becomes a good worker. He is a good family man, though all too frequently he suffers in general esthetism from the prevalence of rowdyism among his own race in some of the larger THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 4, 1925 Additional Sport Siki Loses Game Match To Londos Colored Wrestler Lets Opponent Break From Punishing Toe Hold As Victory Is Near LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec., 2—Reginald Sikl, colored challenger for the world's heavyweight wrestling championship, was downed by Londos, Greek champion in two straight falls. The punishing tactics of the Greek, mainly his torturesome reverse headlocks, bested those of Sikl, who at one time, had Londos' back almost level on the mat. The first fall, came in 59 minutes and 30 seconds, the second in five minutes. Both were attained through reverse headlocks. Siki started out in great style, clamping three mean headlocks on Londos in the first five minutes. The Greek came back and began working on Siki's body, but the Colored wrestler took the play away from Londos by bringing his powerful legs into play and applying first a body scissors and then a head-scissors. After about a half hour's grappling, Siki got rough and threw Londos into the ropes, almost through, them, "Jeem" got sore and started a rally of headlocks, but Siki soon broke this up. Siki really had Londos in danger about fifteen minutes later when he clamped on a publishing toehold that held, Londos for five full minutes. Londos was apparently in such pain from the hold that Referee Travers asked him if he wanted to give up, "Jeem" stuck. Once he broke the hold began "working on Siki's body again. Siki wilted under the attacked and Londos sensing a victory went into him furiously finally getting the headlock, which floored Siki. Siki weighed 212 pounds, while Londos tipped the scales at 190. cities. At present he is restricted to those residence districts from which white people are moving away. Notwithstanding the fact that a highly respectable and valuable type of family life exists among Negroes; it is too commonly the practice of municipal authorities to aggregate alongside the Negro settlement any special form of outlawry which police-policies may condone. When, to escape from this condition, Negroes seek respectable surroundings in districts inhabited by whites, difficulties ensue. These conditions point clearly the way for the next step of self-help namely, the establishment for themselves of communities where their families may be reared under the best and most congenial influences and where their rights as citizens may be wholly enjoyed. It is practically hopeless to attack as "presiduce" the real opposition which exists to mixing the races. The Negro does not want to crowd in among the whites; what he does want is the air, sunlight, space and sanitation which are to be had in white residential sections. He should have all these things in his own quarter. He can have them if he will intelligently construct such communities, and render them illustrative of the virtues of his race at their best. —Dearborn Independent. Thoughts On A Bad Case The RhineKinder case prompts several reflections. The young man concerned is obviously "no good." How far should a family go in salvaging their wreckage? Would it have been better to have let him go the path he had choosen, be a black sheep? The sacrifice the family is making for him is treemouth. It is great love. How wise is it, and how wise was that love before this happened? How much humiliation can we demand of our family? Would the realization up the part of the young man that his future, rested with himself have straightened "him up"? If, in the beginning, it had been put up to him that he had to make what he could of himself, would he have fallen so low? Is he just a "spoiled brat" or is he overbred? Humans can be overbred just like animals, and, with their finer nervous organisms, with even more destructive results. Too much "aristocracy" cures itself but the process is terribly painful for its victims and those who love them. How far should the courts go in making "shows" of such cases? Do they do any real good; convey any warning; safeguard any interests? Does it uphold the dignity of the law? Or of womanhood? Are courts any less subject to "what the public wants" than the rest of us? Would such a trial be possible under the Jersey system, which has consistently resisted lawyers' efforts along such lines? How much of all the fifth is essential to justice? It's all very entertaining for us. Is it doing us any good? And how would we feel if one of ours was the "goat". TULSA, Okla', Dec. 2.—In keeping with their reputation for progressiveness, the colored citizens of Tulsa have launched plans to acquire a park exclusively for their use. Last week an agreement was reached between representatives of a local race civic organization and city officials to have a good portion of Mohawk City Park allotted exclusively for colored persons. The allotment consists of 160 acres of land in the northwest section of the park. It contains a lagoon, and offers possibilities for the installation of a wading pool. It is planned to have a baseball diamond, playground, and picnic grounds on the plot.

CHICAGO The 6000 fans who attended the boxing show at the New Coliseum Athletic Club, Tuesday night, received Lawrence Hawkins and Kid Inkey in their six-round bout of the colored batam weight championship of St. Louis, with enthusiastic approval. The bout between Lawrence, the former A. E. F. Bantam Champion, and Kid Inkey, local favorite, proved the spice of the all-star card, featuring Jack Renault and Jack Adams, heavyweights. The newspaper decision was awarded to Lawrence. He won over his shorter opponent by a shade. The colored boxers fought a particular clean battle. Lawrence was the aggressor in the early rounds. His defense against the slugging bouching attacks of his opponent was tautful, several times he drove his utter in. He caught him with rapid fire short books, when he frequently endeavored to elimin whirlflow. On two occasions Kid Inkey's deadly upper cuts found their marks. Frequently he drove his opponent to the ropes, but he seemed to have been unable to follow up his advantages. Hawkins owned the heaviest punch and longest reach, however, and though he did not hand as many blows, as Kid Inkey, his hits were more telling. Once in the 3rd round he sent Kid Inkey to his knees with a body punch. Then he seemed to punnel his opponent's head at will with his long arms. Blood was flowing from Kid Inkey's nose in the third round. In the latter rounds the former soldier started a vicious attack landing several heavy right left hooks to the head and body, which threw the shorter fighter into a daze several times, kid inkey, however, retaliated gameily. The good showing of the colored boxes, who were the first to appear on a card of the New Coliseum Boxing Club almost assures the appearance of more colored fighters 'in the future. What you do and not what you plan is what counts. Most men have a peculiar way of forgetting the things they should be thankful for. HOSPITAL SITE CHANGE OPPOSED BY ALDERMEN HOSPITAL SITE CHANGE OPPOSED BY ALDERMEN Colored Citizens Want Separate Inst. In A Neighborhood Peopled Lurgily By Race Members The public welfare committee of the Board of Aldermen is almost unanimously against the proposed ordinance submitted by Director of Pullie Welfare Gallisburg, which would change the site of the proposed new City Hospital No. 2, for color citizens (set aside in the bond is since from Kennedy avenue to ground abolishing the city hospital for white). It was announced Thursday by Alderman August H. Niederluecke, chairman of the committee. From all indications, a majority of the Board of Aldermen are also against Smithsburg's plans. Niederluecke declared. It is noted that property owners in the vicinity of City Hospital No. 1 are against the plan. Colored citizens are strictly opposed. They express their desire for a separate institution in a vicinity where colored people are in the majority. Mayor Miller has not intervened in the issue. The proposed site for the colored hospital is bounded by Kennedy and St. Fordham and Waltier and Good avenues. HIGH-B HAIR G WITHOUT A Without a doubt, the best and kind—a combination HAIR GROW ENER.

He stated that we, as a group, had been mistreated in so many ways by the other groups, until we were, at times, a little impatient ourselves. These remarks from Rey.

The Detroit Times, reporting the scene in the courtroom during Mr. Darrow's plea, says: "Darrow's plea was marked by all the tense emotion, the deep pathos which won him his reputation. The spectators kept a hushed silence, one or two dabbing at their eyes with handkerchiefs at his references to the plight of the black race. When Darrow finished he wiped an eye and sat down amid a hush shattered only as the jungle found words and signaled the prosecutor to start his final plea." Dr. Sweet on stand Another interesting feature of the trial came when Dr. Sweet took the stand. He made a magnificent address telling his story with restraint and simplicity that held the courtroom breathless. His story of threats and intimidation and the attack on the house in which eleven defendants were penned was most dramatic. Through adroit questioning Darrow and Hays brought out through Dr. Sweet the story of race riots in Arkansas and Chicago and Washington and of lynchings in the South and of police brutality in Detroit. This line of reasoning demonstrated the psychological background of the Negro which actuates self-defense when attacked by mobs. Dr. Sweet's recital made a deep impression not only upon the spectators in the courtroom but upon the newspaper reporters as well. The reporter for the Detroit Free Press wrote: "Well educated" and an acute student, of the race problem, Dr. Sweet under the adroit prompting of Attorney Hays, gave a graphic account of the disturbances rang-ing geographically from Washington of Chicago, and going back to the days, when he was attending school. He recited the facts of the Chicago race riots, holding the jury and spectators silent and immovable by his vivid picturing of morbid details, and the fear that gripped him as the result of what he read. Speaking clearly and without hesitating for a word or phrase, he told of seeing a Negro carried through the streets of Washington in an automobile and badly beaten by a ATTENTION XM Do Your Buying at FIERST'S: Line of Novelties.

Mo., 26, Alumni 0 HOWARD-LINCOLN BATTLE TO, SCORELESS TIE Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 2— More than twenty thousand people saw the Lincoln Lung and the Bison of Howard University battle to a scoreless tie, here at Shibes Park. Thanksgiving in the 31st annual grid- iron clash between these two leading institutions of our group for nigh- tly education. Howard entered, the game the favorite but after the first quarter was playing on the defensive. Both teams fought furiously throughout the game and opportunities to score but failed. The Bisons by mixing a driving running attack with a brilliant attack from the air carried the ball to Lincoln's 25-yard line early in the first quarter. Here the Lion's defense stiffened and held for three downs on the fourth down Coles of Howard attempted a drop-kick which was blocked by Gristy of Lincoln. Penalty Costly to Lions Lincoln receiving the ball on her 20-yard line, launched an offensive and worked the ball down to the Bisons 30-yard line. Anderson dropped back and kicked a beautiful goal, but one of the Lions was off-sides and the ball was brought out to the 20-yard line and glued to Howard. A penalty in the third quarter also proved costly to the Lions who Anderson hurled the ball 25 yards to Lancaster, who ran ten yards before the referee's wistles stepped him on account of a line-man being offside. Anderson the Star By his painting, passing, running and all-round defensive work, Anderson of the Lions was easily the outstanding star of the game; sharing honors with him were C. Smith and Long of Howard, and Grassty of Lincoln. TUSKEGEE CRUSHES TALLADEGA TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala. Nov. 25—Tuskegee's 55-0 victory over Talladega College in the Alumni Bowl here Thanksgiving Day, surpassed all previous scoring records of the Crim son team against the Tigers of Talla dega. Six minutes to be exact, after the opening of the game, Joyner had gone over for a touchdown. Stevenson contributed the extra point. After then this classic occasion became a succession of marches to the goal line. Perhaps in no game during the season were individual honors more evenly distributed. At one time it was Stevenson, the brilliant halfback who was running, passing and punting; then, Joylier, the crashing full back, who ripped and torched the line for substantial gains. The scene shifted immediately to Bailey, the plunging halfback, who could not be stopped until he had torn through the frontier of the visitors' line and hit the rear works for good yardage. Tudlock, captain, was the next man to occupy the spotlight—a bullwings of strength at center he played the most remarkable game of the season. He intercepted two Tulladega passes, one of which he converted into a touchdown, and the other he ran for fifteen yards before being tackled. Smith, Tuskegee's sentimental quarterback, attracted attention by the brainy manner which he ran the team. He was on the hurling and receiving ends of several well executed passes, and went over for one of Tuskegee's many touchdowns, Duncan, Ellis, I. Robinson, Kitchen, and Steward, each by his outstanding performances was a contributing factor in the day's highly satisfactory results. COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 2.—With both Wilberforce and West Virginia football warriors primed for their supreme athletic contest for the year, the mountain boys found their way past the strong opposition and took the victory. Thanksgiving day, by a 7 to 3 score. The winning score came near, the end of the fourth quarter, after Wilberforce had executed a drop-kick registering her score of 3. A big throng witnessed the event, now termed the mid-west classic. HAMPTON WINS THE C. I. A. A. CHAMPIONSHIP RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 2—Hampton University engaged in a gruelling battle with Union University here last Thursday. Thanksgiving Day, and submerged the victor by a 13-D score. Not until the final whisper were the Blue and White sure of their triumph over the Panthers, whose dangerous claws several times threatened the goal of the Virginia team. A pass from Byrd to Williams gave Hampton her first marker, W. Williams also scored the second touchdown by a beautiful open field run in which he made 37 yards. Baker kicked the extra points. Baker of Union, missed three trials at field goals, all by narrow margins. Alexander and Fortune guards, and Lee, Davis and Williams starred for Hampton, while Anderson, guard, and Breaux, Shield, Baker and Toblin for Union. Captain Oscar A. Pindle played his last game with Hampton. ATLANTA U. 26. MORRIS BROWN 12 ATLANTA Ga., Dec 2. - Atlanta University did the unexpected Saturday and beat Morris Brown University by a large score in a well fought football game. The final score was 88-12. McPherson made one touch down and Delmer'i and Stanley scored two a piece for Atlanta U. One safety was also scored by Atlanta. The thriller of the day was Robin- son's 95-yard run for a touchdown. Frailey scored the other touchdown for Morris Brown. A. U. made 16 first downs to M. B.'s 2. A. U. completed 2 out of 5 passes. M. B. completed 3 passes, had 3 intercepted and three incomplete. SIMMONS 12-7 NASHVILLE. Tenn. Dec. 2. Tennessee State College defeated Simmons University of Louisville here Saturday by a score of 12 to 7. Brushing line drives and a, fake play netted Tennessee her first touch down. Parkins long run of 60 yards paved the way for Simmons, only touchdown. In the fourth quarter Tennessee smashed, through for another touchdown. For Tennessee, Webster, Gaston, Bell and Brown shurred; for Simmons, Minms, Dillhard and Woods. VICTORS ON THE GRIDIRON By DeHart Hubbard CINCINNATI O., Dec. 2. Wilberforce has never been West Virginia. No matter how good a team 'For, has and how weak Institute is considered. Institute has a way of rising up in one great game and giving Wilberforce a gridirion trimming. The same is true of Lincoln and I Howard. Lincoln can always be commanded on to fight Howard to the last whistle. Many years when she is doped as 'untested', she has come back fighting and won a brilliant triumph over her ancient foe. Likewise Hampton has the Indian Sign on Union. Hampton's eleven v-cities to Union's four, shows that the sea-side school has that strong power possessed by some teams to rise to one great game against her traditional foe and overcome odds to come out on top. Lincoln U. Mo. Wins From Kansas City Alumni 26-0 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—The Tigers long end runs, line bucks, and air attack proved to much for the Western U. team on Turkey Day and the Blue' and White waved once more on Western's Gridron with victory 26-0. The better team won with a versatile attack and the splendid playing of the Tiger team which left little doubt of the results after the first period ended. The savage plunges of two human Catapults, Woods and Aitch and with the splen did broken, field running of Mills and bluffed by the opportune overhand thrusts which fell from a countless sky and the headwork of Gantt at quarter saw the team constantly gaining at will. A gathering of several hundred saw the struggle among whom were the Linecoln Alumni of Kansas City, the Student body of Western University, and other Western and Lincoln followers. The cool headwork of the Tiger backfield men and the splendid line with Norman and Kelly and the tackles Brooks and Mason at the ends Smith and South at the Guards and Charles Robinson at Center, held as never before while Mills gave the spectators several sensational broken field runs ranging from 15 to 20 yards throughout the game and the savage plunges of Woods for six to ten yards and a wonderful catch by Mason behind Western's goal for the second touchdown and the surprised dash of Gantt for five yards over tackle for the fourth touchdown were the outstanding individual performances. Mills at fullback was the talk of the spectators who gained 209 yards with long end runs and line bucks Mills also did the punting for Lincoln. Woods at right half for the Tigers gained 10 yards through Western's line during the game. Western was not a match for the Tigers but Western gave the spectators a few thrills completing three passes and gained a very few times through the Tigers line. King of Western stood out as a star. Captain Robinson of the Tigers watched his teammates triumph over the Western from the sidelines having received an injury in the Lincoln-Langston game. The Tigers played a wonderful game making seventen first downs and completing five passes, made three hundred and eighty five yards on end runs and line plunges, made four touchdowns and two extra points. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 1- Benny Hall, Laurel Hill bantam-weight added another victory to his string when he defeated Jackie Nichols, in the feature six-round bout at the Thanksgiving Day show, at the Ridgewood Grove Sporting Club. Nichols was the leading contender for the featherweight title and is probably the hardest-punching man of his weight in the games. By winning from Nichols, Hall is entitled to a fight with Kid Kaplan for the title.

B. Wilson, was heard and eleven gridiron warriors in Murcuu and White jerseys marched out on the watery field on Turkey Day, it marked the last high school game to be played by eight of the eleven 1025 heroes and two noted nuxilaries. Each of the eight Panther regulars are veterans from two years up of gridiron hardships. Only one player, Eugene Graham, who is graduating, having served only one year on the noted Panther eleven. Captain McDex McCray played his first season as a regular last year, after serving a year as substitute. He exhibited some of the finest playing on the right wing that has been seen on a high school gridiron. This year as pilot he has showed methods of 'wainship not heretofore seen on the Panther's gridiron.' "May all happiness be yours." Dumultless U. Rankin served five years on the gridiron. He was captain in '23, both 17, and with the satisfaction of being honored by the II-Y club in the year '24. He has played center with ability and tenacity.

The Robinson-Wright-match was a revelation of two distinct styles of play. Robinson's brilliant camrons, precise draws and delicate kisses did not avail against Wright's steady drives and constant scoring. A feature game that ended with the gallery on its feet, silently watching each shot and when the score stood Chattin 99, Robert Turner 97, with a 23-degree cut for the side, it seemed that a well played match was won, but the strain caused "Chat" to boot one of his favorite shots and Turner drove a tough shot down the rail followed with two perfect cut draws and the game was his, but the applause was for both.

Indianapolis and Louisville, as challengers, played for the right to meet the champs. This game started at 7:30 Saturday evening. It was a good match but it did not take long to see that Indianapolis was not at its best and that Louisville had a well-balanced fighting group of players. Louisville won the first game, Indianapolis the second, and the third was won handily by Louisville. This was quite a disappointment to the home team and the audience who did their best to cheer them on to victory. After an interval of fifteen minutes the final match and classic of the tournament was on. The two teams lined up as follows: Louisville —Dunn, Walls, Pickett (captain) A. Keene, J. Keene and Jackson. St. Louis—Key, McCluskey, Ramsay, Simpson, Hancock (captain), Cole and Steward. To all St. Louisans who have an interest in volley ball, it is evident that St. Louis did not have a large number of its good players at Indianapolis. For various reasons the most outstanding being the hurriedness, with which the trip was arranged, many of the men who have materially assisted Pine Street in keeping the volley ball championship could not get away. In spite of that Capt. Hancock and his men put up a strong game and made Louisville play its very best to win. The first game was a hummer and Louisville won only after the score stayed at deuce for about three minutes. The score was 16-14. St. Louis' offense was set in effective motion in the second game and the good work of Key and Steward won the game for M. Louis. The score being 15-10. In the third game, St. Louis ran out to the lead and with seven points to their credit, were affected with overconfidence and the constantly plugging Kentuckians pulled up and won by the score of 15-12. Another game for Louisville and the game would be lost. St. Louis realized this and buckled down and brought the match PAGE/SEVEN count to 2-2 by winning this game. It was evident by these scores that it was a seesaw match with neither team having the edge on the other to any great extent. So each team went into the fifth and deciding game with confidence and a determination to win. Louisville led from the start but the game being hard fought, progressed very slowly. Each side rotated repeatedly without allowing the other to score. Captain Hancock was putting all the pep he could muster up into himself and his men. Nervousness at the critical moment on the part of Simpson and Ramsey spelled defeat for St. Louis. The score was 11-9. Key was on the left side of the net, Steward boosting and Hancock playing center back. It was Simpson's serve and with this our strongest defensive position, all was set to catch our rivals, Simpson served in the net. We, however, made the next point and rotated which put Ramsey in the serving position. He, too, due to the nervous strain of playing his first varsity game, could not get the ball over the net. This rotated Key who had been spliking with deadly accuracy off the net. The next few points were hotly contested but Louisville finally won by the score of 15-11. Captain Hancock at the second and last critical moment missed a chance to stop the hard fighting Kentuckians. McCluskey had boosted a ball perfectly and Handy, went up to spike with his usual force, but cut it too sharply and it went in the net. It was just a fairly good team that represented Pins Street, but they put up a very good game. To Ramey, McCluskey and Simpson go the distinction of playing their best game better than they have ever shown at home and Hancock, Stewart and Key played their usual excellent game. We did our best but it was not enough to stop Louisville. Additional Sport On Page 6 THE ST.LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 4, 1925 The St. Louis Argus PUBLISHED WEEKLY Comment and Opinion ST. LOUIS ARGUS PUBLISHING CO. 2312-14 Market St. St. Louis, Mo. Devoted to a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events By GORDON H. SLIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis J. E. MITCHELL ..... MANAGING EDITOR HERBERT T. MEADOWS ..... CITY EDITOR and ADV. MGR. RICHARD A. JACKSON ..... ASSOCIATE EDITOR The steadily increasing Negro population of St. Louis has required from time to time extension of the district largely occupied by colored people in addition to the locations scattered throughout the city. These extensions have at various times, met with opposition—sometimes with force. Vandalism has resulted in windows being broken, property damaged and human life placed in leopardy. The most recent of those occurrences has been in the block on Evans avenue where a colored citizen purchased a flat last spring immediately after the change from white tenants, the windows were broken, plumbing torn out, locks smashed and the property generally damaged. One Year $2.00 Five Months 1.25 Three Months .78 Single Copy .05 Advertising Rates Furnished On Request Entered as second-class matter April 5, 1812 at the Post Office at Saint Louis, Missouri, under the act of March 3, 1870. REPUBLICAN STATE HEADQUARTERS Bitter is the complaint, and justly so, coming from Negro Republicans who have dared visit the Republican State Headquarters in the American Hotel, Seventh and Market streets. The complaint is, that prospective visitors who go there and ask for Dr. Clement, the National Committee, are shown the freight elevator and told by insulting ushers, "it's the freight elevator or you can take the back stairs." Last Friday a new turn of events resulted in a bomb being thrown on these premises, placing the lives of the families living in the face in jeopardy, breaking windows and doing much other damage to the property. Undoubtedly such activities organized group, or to say the least organized sentiment in that district. The introduction of bombs into the housing situation of St. Louis hold all the possibilities of greater conflicts if the experience of other cities is any indication. Such devices will not accomplish the purpose of those who do the bombing, but will more than likely aid in resentment among the colored population. The consequences of such devices are bombs have all the inherent qualities for causing further race friction and possible race conflict. Upon learning of this condition, we have been inclined to pass the matter by unnoticed. But we have a sense of responsibility in a case of this kind. We feel if our duty to call the attention of the Negro voters of the state to this condition, that they may see just how their "zood Republican friends" treat them. We can't but regard such treatment under the circumstances as an insult, particularly to the Negro members of the State Republican Committee. Our advice, therefore, is to stay away from the Republican State Headquarters. You can get along just as well without Dr. Clements as he can do without you. The freight elevator is his voice just as long as he has his headquarters at the American Hotel, though spoken by others. It means that if you come, you must come at the sacrifice of your man or womanhood; and we imagine the Doctor sitting back laughing up his sleeves at those who are so anxious to see him that they are willing to be "freighted", to his quarters, and saying to himself, "what tools these mortals be." These acts of vandalism and disrespect for law should be investigated and the guilty parties punished. It is interesting to note in current newspaper reports that the city of Chicago, where the homes of Nexos were repeatedly bombed during a three or four year period that resulted in not a single prosecution for such dastardly deeds, that recently the grand jury investigating outrages in labor and business wars pursued led to an assault, alleged conspirators. These developments show that where the machinery is input in use it is possible to locate the supposedly guilty parties. THE RHINELANDERS AND INTERMARRIAGE The fundamental principle in the Rhinelander case, is that of intermarriage. Fortunately New York has not besmirched its code with an unnecessary intermarriage law. Therefore, the case has some chance on its merits. The Argus believes that there should be only one marriage and divorce law for all American citizens, based on the Bible and the Constitution of this country. That law would be broad and liberal. Love should be the fundamental guide for all marriage laws. Love being the guide, cannot be legislated into or out of the human heart. Human nature would demand that it be let alone, permitting it to take its own course and consequences. Jesus, speaking on the subject, said: "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." According to that statement love is heaven born and God given. That being true, how can puny man assume such dangerous responsibilities by writing into the state or national statutes, saying who shall or who shall not marry? St. Louis, should skip this new menace in the bud 'and take no chances on further friction and resulting from such prac- practices. Our Political Leaders, Who Will Appoint Them? Rev. S. S. Pitcher, 4240 Enright Ave. St. Louis, Mo. Color, or race prejudice is the foundation for the sentiment in many states against inter-marriage. Race prejudice has really become the national idol. It is taking precedent over everything else in this nation. Therefore, as a result of this agitation, two same human beings, if they happen to be of opposite races, cannot love and marry and live in peace in this supposed "land of the free and home of the brave," country of ours. The recent case of Mr. Jackson, a colored man and Miss Burns, a white girl of New Jersey is an outstanding example. They loved each other, and went so far as to set the day for their marriage and secured the license for the same. Color prejudice stepped in and issued its dictum: "I am KING and you cannot marry without my approval and I therefore forbid it." On last reports they had not married. People who sweat allegiance to Color prejudice, cannot believe in their Bibles nor serve the true and living God. Marriage is a personal contract between two persons and altho there are a number of states with laws prohibiting inter-marriage of Negroes and whites, those laws would not stand the Constitutional test before the Supreme Court at Washington. Some few months ago I wrote an article on "State Wide Organization" which was published in The St. Louis Argus and I received several letters complimenting the article, and agreeing that such a meeting should be held in some centrally located place in the State to formulate a State Wide Organization, wherein we can be properly organized to do effectual work in the coming campaign. If we fall to enter the Fall campaign without being properly and well organized throughout the State, then let us not find any fault with the treatment we may receive from those to whom we give support. The time is opportune for us to act as political factors in this Commonwealth as well as in the State. Some of the leading men of our group have made their pilgrimage to the capital of the nation, and have conversed with the chief executive there, and what we gleaned from their meeting, through the columns of the Army, they were received cordially, and were assured by His Excellency, the President, that he would do all in his power to bring about better conditions. Councils are being held and other proposals that a political job and a few paltry dollars will satisfy and that our group will fulfill support to that initiative. There was thoroughly organized, appoint our leader, that our interest, we should be properly guarded. We should do our work in time to bring results and then we should act in a unit by selecting a real leader, and trusting him with our cause. As men and women, we should rise up to the height of our strength and demand that which we are just and right, of the party we assist in office. If it is the jobs we want, think of the many hundred here in our State that are at the disposal of those we who helped us up for, two years ago, and see how few have been given us. If it's money, the cry was from the thirty days before the election until it closed, we have not enough money to carry out our program as it should be. Let the self appointed leader or the one appointed by the other group, be done away with, and by our group let us be heard in the party council. This can be done by making our organization strong and complete. We the Republican Editors held meeting held on Friday, May 20 and the Lincoln Day (Feb. 11) for young republicans to meet, the former was a great occasion to achieve prospects of the party and secure prospects of its success at the next November, the latter will doubt be full of arguments along the same lines. Let us have a big together meeting this winter, somewhere in the State; be thoroughly organized for the coming campaign, for this is a day when organized efforts and team work must be done to accomplish anything. During the 68th Congress, Senator Capper of Kansas, introduced a bill in the Senate, for the purpose of making a national inter-marriage law, forbidding Negroes and whites to marry anywhere in the Domain of the United States. It died in the Rules Committee. The new Senator from South Carolina, Cole Blease, recently announced that he favored a national law prohibiting the marriage of Negroes and whites. However, because these and other men may favor a national inter-marriage law, that does not make it right nor Constitutional. We favor marriage on the basis of free moral agency; on the statement of Christ when He said: "What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder;" and on the Constitution of our liberty loving country, permitting nature to take its course with every sane man and woman selecting their mates according to the love function of their hearts. By doing that many and wested and nonproductive lives would bloom as the rose thru compatible and happy matrimony without the interference of Race prejudice laws. THE SWEET CASE The final outcome of the Sweet case, which resulted in a mistrial last week, at Detroit will settle the question as to whether a citizen has the common right to defend his home from invasion by mobs, vandals, thugs and thieves. The records of the courts of the land show that public policy sanctions such action, when the home, "man's cassa", is attacked. By the rules of the game, and the fundamental laws of the land, a colored man should have the same right, to defend his home as any other citizen. Dr. Sweet and his associates, who are being "persecuted" in the courts of Michigan have committed no crime. The only indictment that could logically be lodged against them is: "Defending His Home." He did what every red-blooded American would have done under similar conditions. Mobhism is rampant in this country. Race prejudice makes the Negro anyeasy victim for mob violence. The mobs have become so hold that they have now turned to the Negroes' homes. Instead of the State of Michigan prosecuting Dr. Sweet, the officers of the law should congratulate him, and thus tell the mobs forever, "you attack a man's home at your own peril." Unfortunately, just now, in the City of Detroit, the Ku Klux Klan is in the "hey-day" of its power. One of the purposes of the existence of the Ku Klux Klan is to put fear in the hearts of the Negro. "Keep him down" is their slogan. They lie and deceive in order to be accepted upon the jury when the case of a Negro is before the court. It is said in Detroit that the Klan raised a huge fund to help convict Dr.Sweet and his associates. Propagandists have been sent throughout the city to "make public sentiment against the Negroes." Is it any wonder that a hung jury won the results of the trial? Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander may be ignorant, uneducated and colored, but she knows how to write law letters.

SCOTT, FIRST COLORED MAGISTRATE OF PHILADELPHIA DIES AT 67 AMOS M. SCOTT, FIRST COLORED MAGISTRATE OF PHILADELPHIA DIES AT 67 Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 2— Amos M. Scott, for many years—a familiar figure in the political world here, is dead at his home, 1510 Christi tian street. He had been for some time ill with a complication of diseases. He was sixty-seven years of age. Mr. Scott was a native of Lancaster County, coming to Philadelphia in early life. He was a keen business man, and made considerable money in the hotel business which he conducted for many years. As a magistrate, Mr. Scott had sig ual success, although during the four years in which he presided over Court No. 2 were filled, with many tits with the police and the District Attorney's police. These grew mostly out of Mr. Scott's disposition of persons being charged with a violation of the pro- hibition laws. Mr. Scott was also connected with the capture of Luther Boddy who was wanted by the New York police for the killing of two New York detectives. Magistrate Scott was an active Republican, and was the organization man in the 30th Ward. He exercised a tremendous influence over colored voters of the 30th ward, as well as the 70th ward, which adjoined his ward. Magistrate Scott's passing is mourned by all Paladinahs and is genial • sort, was kind-hearted, and charitable to a fault. Twos daughters survive. DEPLORES RACE HATRED NEW YORK, Dec. 2—Race conflicts will continue until the world accepts the attitude that there is no such thing as a superior or an inferior race, according to Rabbi William H. Fineshriber of Philadelphia, who preached yesterday in the Free Synagogue in Carnegie Hall. "One of the causes of war—the greatest—was race hatred and race jealousy," he said. "I have no doubt that one of the leading factors in producing the World War is a gradual upward of an idea of superiority. "Another breeder of wars and race hatreds is the endless fighting over such words as 'God,' 'unity,' 'trinity,' and 'multiplytion.' Millions of lies have been told, tons of blood spilled and nations and cultures overthrown over such stupid purple issues." DOG OF MANY COLORS Associated Negro Press CHESTER, Pa., Dec. 2—Magistrate Maltail has a real problem on his hands. He has to decide ownership of a dog that has changed its colors three times within as many weeks. George Zizmont of this city charges the valuable hound, placed in his custody by a preacher, who left here for another part of the state, was abducted and two coats of dye to hide its identity. The preacher wants the dog returned to him, but will have to wait a decision by the magistrate. Zizmont said the dog was snowy white when it dropped out of sight and that when he saw it and recognized it again in possession of two men it had turned black. Now, he says, it has been given a coat of gray.

Dec. 2.—With more than twenty billions of dollars in banks, the American people will break all records for holiday buying this year; it was predicted Monday by government, business and finance authorities. December business promises to furnish a fitting climax to what generally characterized as the most uniformly successful business year in American history. Contributing to the glowing outlook is the fact that most authorities in the history of the Treasury Mellon and Treasury Commerce Hoover believe that 1908 will see even greater prosperity, due to tax revision and natural causes.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO NAMES BOOKS EVERY CHILD SHOULD READ Little Women First Among Forty Classics For Boys And Girls. Other Familiar Writings Chosen. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 2.—"Little Women," by Louisa M. Alcott leads the list of 40 classics for children which the Bureau of Education of the United States-Interior Department says every American boy and girl should read before 16.

TURKISH GIRLS REFUSE TO BOW TO CAPITALISTS CONSTANINOPLE, Nov 5—Though Turkish girls have only within the past few years entered the industrial and business world, they already have learned how to go on strike. The telephone operators of Constaninople organized a union some three months ago and have laid before the directors of the company, an English concern, demand for a 50 per cent increase in salaries. The present average wage for a "hello girl" is 25 litres a month, about $15. The chief operators receive less than $18 per month while some of the girls receive on a monthly basis. The company has failed to grant the request for an increase, the girls have announced their intention to walk out. The leaders in the movement are Turkish, but the Greek and Jewish employees will join them "in perfect unanimity," as their ultimatum reads, "without distinction of race or religion."

Cumming, surgeon general of the United States public health service, to physicians at a health conference here. Dr. Cumming's address was a commentary on reports of experiments in Syracuse and Cattaraugus county to see whether 20 years can not be added to the average life span by scientific care. In Cattaraugus county, Dr. Cumming said, the death rate has been reduced by 350 persons per year at a cost of only $14,400, and the population is but 50,000. The saving of American cities at a cost of less than $1 per life saved is good business, he said. Through the demonstrations in "Cattaraugus," continued Dr. Cumming, "sudden evidence is at hand to show fast progress in the health work will yield a remarkable dividend in the protection and promotion of human health and in money saving to the community amounting to many times its cost. Other communities are meeting their health problems in accordance with the same general principles. Now is the opportune time to proclaim: "Go thou and do likewise." TEACHING FOUND TO BE COSTLY PROFESSION WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Measured by the "go-getter" standards of today, the teaching profession is not a "paying business." A study of the cost of preparation for tests profession made among graduate students in Columbia University and published in the Labor Monthly, issued by the United States bureau of labor statistics, shows that this cost is excessive, when measured by money returns. It was found that the average expenditure for absolutely necessary items connected with securing the degree of doctor of philosophy ranges from $7,500 to $8,000, according to the time spent in post-graduate work. The average salary, after about 15 years of teaching and with the highest degree in the profession, varies from about $4,400. In the small universities or colleges, to $6,000 at the highest institutions. WOOD ACADEMY OF SCIENCE RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 2—A sad coincidence occurred here when William J. Willis, 50, a member of the Sons and Daughters of Peace, dropped dead at a special service of the organization last week after he had called the fourteenth and last name on the roll of its members who had died during the year. Mr. Willis is said to have been delivering the memorial address. On an improvised after burned 14 candles, the calling of the adress was the calling of the death. As each name was called, a candle was extinguished, symbolizing the passing of a soul. Mr. Willis had called the 14th and last name when he dropped. USED DEAD PERSON'S KNEE NEW YORK Dec 2. 2-Dipatches from Leningrad, Russia, tell of a Russian surgeon who successfully transplanted a bone from the knee of a dead person to that of a woman suffering from tuberculosis of the knee. The surgeon was in the waiting. After the operation, she was soon able to walk freely. The St. Louis Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1925 SEGREGATION BECOMES A NATION-WIDE MENACE Associated Negro Broker Associated Negro Group, 10, p. 2—From every section of the country, information continues to reach the Associated Negro Press regarding the growth and danger of segregation in its varied forms. Facts from undisputed sources tend to prove that on this one particular phase of racial discrimination there is an invisible conceived effort to "Hold the Negro." Ong of the amazing facts, however, is the seeming lack of definite and practical interest of those who at this time are most affected by the results of his nationwide menace. It is very evident that the forces of sinister hatred have been marshalled against the prosperous and progressive Negroes of the other hand. Disclosed that an amount of interested persons within the race who are showing the most zeal in fighting the inroads of this dangerous growth is not the progressive Negro, ought to have the clearest insight, and has the largest material success, but the middle class of masses. One of the national officials of the N. A. A. C. P. has informed the Associated Negro Press informitly that most of the money, for example, raised in behalf of the Dr. O. S. Sweet fund, has come from the middle class of people. Here and there are notable exceptions, he declares, but "they only go to prove the rules." The Dabney, an acknowledged leader of the African and well known newspaper man, informed The Associated Negro Press that it has been his observation that it is difficult to stir the people to "righteous indignation" until something happens at home. He said continuing: "The people of Cincinnati should rigitously be as much interested in this subject as those of any other city, but unfortunately they are not. Recently, there was an effort to bring about separate schools in one of our suburbs, and at one of our nuss meetings, pre-cleanly every Colored person from that community was invited to attend, as they get their trouble settled, they will lose interest in the other fellow." Segregation in schools, housing, public places and elsewhere has become a "nationwide menace" according to the opinion of Mr. Dabney, who was in Chicago recently. HOOSIT? By Robert P. Edwards Associated Negro Press 31-He was born in Baltimore in 1801. Very little is known of his early days, but in the spring of 1830 he conceived a plan of calling together meeting or convention of colored men, and as a result he was able to improve the condition of the fraternity of his race, and aid his slave brethren. Regardless of his founding the convention in 1830 and assisting in the convention of 1831, through jealousy, he was not permitted to sit as a full member of the convention in 1832, the excess being that his credentials were faulty. This was the most unkind cut of all, and he became clingimated at his envious brethren, and migrated to Haiti, where until 1843 he pursued the business of carver and gilder.; in the latter year being appointed Director of Public Words in Port-au- Prince, Haiti.

Collins, are under arrest for alleged illegal operations in homestead land deals, in which it is said many citizens were invigored of small sums of money. Wiley is additionally carried with impersonating a federal officer. It is indeed, a pleasure to get as many personal letters from the Kewles that I do. I am also glad to know more Kewles are contributing to the Junior Ideas column. It has been hoped that the Junior Ideas column will be widely read, yet this cannot happen unless contributions are interesting and many.

I hope to receive an early reply with your picture. I have been really ashamed of my self that I have not written to you any more often than I have. I have been real busy with my school work and I have not had time to send in any contributions to the club. I really enjoy the Kewpie news in the Argus and the Kewpie's letters. I would like very much to correspond with some more Kewpie. To the Kewpie who write to me I promise to write an interesting letter on college life. A Kewpie, Dorothy Penman. Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sister Susan, I was indeed very much surprised when I looked in the Argus and saw that I had won first prize. I received the prize and I appreciated it as much as I would have appreciated a million dollars. After all "it is the little things in life that count." Changing Race Relations By H. H. JONES For Preston News Service American history shows that the first effort to absorb the Negro as a slave failed; that the second effort to absorb him as a serf failed; and that the third effort to absorb him as a quasitizen also failed. . . . The nation began its fourth effort during the World War. "Out of grim necessity, it opened the doors of women and women; it trained colored men and women; it sent thousands of them overseas to shoot down the 'terrible Huns' of Central Europe; and it assured the race that its members would receive their share of Democracy for which they gave their full measure in BRAWN. BLOOD and MATERIALS. At the same time, IT CONTINUED TO LYNCH. NEGROES. BOMB THEIR HOMES, AND OUTRUG THEIR WOMEN. During this period, the Ku Klux Klan was revived; the Pan African Movement was haunted; the camp into the lmelight; organized man-made friendly overtures to Negro labor; inter-racial conciliation impetus; and the Federal Government, by creating the Bureau of Negro Economics, made its first attempt to adjust biracial relations. When World War Reconstruction set in, Negroes were ordered to forget that they had worked and bled to "make the world safe" for Democracy" they were commanded to resume their former status of parlias. Thus, because the nation refused to recognize the race's singular and unvarying services in the face of overwhelming prejudice and discrimination, the cleavage between white and colored Americans became more dangerous. The cleavage finds many Negroes skepical of the attitude of Labor and Capital; doubtful of the pretensions of the white Christian church; suspicious of the actions of the reigning political party; and chary of movements launched to increase their educational and social facilities. Many Negroes have not only grown skeptical of securing justice in America, but are seeking alld elsewhere Some, believing in the "consciousness of kind" as the basis of securing racial equality, are advocating the union of the colored races; others, believing that the Negro will never be permitted to share equally the rights and privileges of American citizenship, are urging the return of the race to Africa; and others, inter- How can I become a 100% Kewpie? I am anticipating doing much better work in the future than I have done in the past. Miss Loretta Owens, Dear Loretta: Some time ago you sent Mildred a prize for her essay, but owing to the fact that Mildred has been in school since the beginning of the fall term she has never written to thank you for it. When I came home I found it here, and I will send it to Mildred. Though I missed Milford, through Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. in care of Barnes Krekel Hall. I don't think Milderd gets the Argus thore, and she doesn't know any thing about it. Dear Sister Susan, I know you will be surprised, to hear from one who has been silent because you have been silent from Kewpie Fred Robinson, who will to thank you for the-publishing—of his story, "The Red Carnation," which appeared in the Arms Junior Ideas, and I am also sending part of a story that I wish you to publish each week. If you will be so kind as to do so, I shall thank you very much. Just why you haven't written me is what I would like to know. Please write me and tell the other Kewpie to drop me some mail because I never hear from any of them. I am sorry that I have not been contributing anything to the Kewpie column, but I intend real soon to drop a line or two to two new members, and I also want to write a Christmas story if you like. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves Thanksgiving Day. I'm sure I did. Give all the Kewpies my love. Dear Sister Susan:— I am now receiving mail from the Kewpie and I enjoy it very much. I have time yet to answer more. Sis know me, but we know the requirements of a 100% Kewpie, and how many have we? Sister Susan, 3003a Dickson St. St. Louis, Mo. I desire to become a member of the Argus Kewpie Club. Nage Address Ago Birthday City State preting the conditions of the race in terms of the universal class struggle, are seeking alliance with Euro- cron Socialism and Communism. Negro Intellectuals are devoting serio- sudy to the Irish situation, the Gandhi Movement, in India, the American-Japanese problems, and in short, to every international problem which they think will give them some clues for raising the status of their group in America. And even among Negroes who do not think of race relationships, in international terms, there's an insistent demand for constructive relief. America must approach this new orientation of Negroes in the scientific, spirit and with due regard for the moral law. These newer aspects of the "Negro Problem" call for the exercise of statesmanship and social engineering of the highest order. The leadership of both races will need to work out a program in industry that will assure the Negro worker-economic equality; they will need to adopt a civil program that will make possible the Negro's equal participation in governmental affairs; they will need to enlarge public educational facilities especially in the South, so that the colored youth may receive adequate training for serving the race and the nation; they will need to build up religious sentiment to the point where the teachings of Christ will actually be applied to the problems of race relations; and finally, they will need to recognize that the "Negro Problem" is a national problem, and thus requires the setting up of Federal machinery to determine standards necessary to be put into operation to bring about biracial good will and cooperation. DRUNKEN DRIVER MAKES AUTO DO STUNTS Associated Negro Press COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 2—Sweetly enveloped in dreams induced by an extra load of moonshine so the police reports "Nick Knight, Davey Payne, Nick Knight, drive an automobile over the four-foot coping in front of the house of a professor in the University of South Carolina Monday night. The front wheels of the automobile neatly ailed the wall, but the rear section held. Police officers arrested both Day and Night. Knight on charges of drunkenness and Day for being drunk and for driving recklessly while in that condition. Associated Negro Press SHEVREPORT, Lb.

HOUSTON TEXAS COLORED RAISE $11,000 FOR THE CITY COMMUNITY FUND Colored People Pass $11,000 Mark In Chest Effort Associated Negro Press HOUSTON, Tex.; Dec. 2—At the final reports of the colored workers in the Community Chest Drive, submitted Saturday evening at the assembly room of the American Mutual Benefit Association, 71415 Prairie Avenue, it was disclosed that the colored people of Houston had subscribed $11,414 to the chest fund for 1925, according to announcement made by C. F. Richardson, general chairman of the colored division, of which Police Chief Tom C. Goodson was commander. This amount only included pledges secured by colored workers from members of their race and from industrial plants and commercial institutions where records were kept of the chest's subscriptions made by the color. The purely racial agencies sharing in the chest are: Union Hospital, Col- Y W. C.A., YW.C.A., and Old Felke' Home. The colored team captains finished in the following order for the drive: C. H. McGruder, team number 1, $2,245.75; R. E. Andrews, team number 2, $2,200.05; Rev J. S. Scott, $1,470.47; Rev S. W. Johnson, $1,416.90; O. P. DeWalt, $1,372.69; total, $8,705.86; secured through other sources, $2,708.14; grand total $11,414. According to General Chairman Richardson, of the colored division, the colored workers were very jubilant with results accomplished during the chest drive, and state that their people responded very cheerfully and generously to the chest fund campaign, the first to be conducted here among colored people by members of their race. The chest goal was $430,000 and $460,000 was subscribed. Expected to raise about $4,000 or $5,000 in their first organized efforts the colored citizens surprised the white leaders. The daily papers devoted many columns of space to the colored workers; only the Houston Chronicle, carrying a cut of the the colored workers in its Sunday edition. Richardson is editor-publisher of the Houston Informer, one of the most out spoken race journals in America. He is active in religious fraternal, social, civic, and political circles, and his selection as leader of the colored forces met the approval of the entire colored citizenry of Houston. FELLOWSHIP By-William Pickens Associated Negro Press The ideal of happiness is not "men like gods", but men like boys. Men are most enjoyable when they are just boys again; when the trappings and formalities of dignity and hyposis are discarded and they set about just being human, and enjoy each other. In this capacity "Phil" Dabney of Cincinnati, who in grown-up parlance is known as W. W. P. Dabney, Editor and owner of the Cincinnati "Union". is about the finest chap we ever knew at his age. He is about 60—older than the rest of us boys whom he gathered together in his gang in a private corner of a Cincinnati hotel the other evening. There were just five of us—Dabney and Brascher and Decatur and Higgins and "me". Dabney had provided the eats, and everything to drink; "dry a汁" made dapple by something "soft" for those who wanted that; and for those whose stomachs were limited, there was ginger ale, coca-cola and cold water.—Let us interject the "Phil" Dabney has none of the inferior complex of those fellows who drink and smoke, but who cannot like a fellow who doesn't, because they always imagine that the other fellow feels that he is superior to them. Dabney is perfectly at home, perfectly comfortable, affectionly loving and warm in the face of any fellow who is taking only ginger ale and water. That is the badge of complete self-respect and good sportsmanship, and we admire it in Dabney. It was in an "elegant repast," as some sophisticated grown up might say, but we ate it without much ceremony. And then we began to talk and, Lord, how we laughed! We laughed and talked about and at our friends and acquaintances, our colleagues and co-workers. We tore off their conventional and hypocritical coverings and looked at their naked humanity for just what it is—and what characters in world-comedy they did make. Ours was like, a gathering of fellows who having been all day in military march or on dress parade had at last retired to their private hang-out, where they could throw off their brass buttons, kick off their boots, and breathe informally—If some of the folks we could have seen how our conversation photographed them! The next evening after I had "sed my speech" in the afternoon to a crowd of pale-faces in the Shubert Theatre, and answered their queer questions, Brassier and I repaired to the shack of Dabney in Beecher Street,—or, as any grown-up would put it, to the elegant mansion of the Editor of the Cincinnati "Union" on the street made famous by the fact that at one end of it, a block the editor's residence, a house in the harriet Beecher house wrote "Uncle Tom's Cahn"—And boy, Dabeny's shack is some still hut. Mrs. Dabney, the wife, recognizing "the boy problem" in her husband, has given him one room in the house for his very own. In this room he has a great table and easy chairs; a cabinet, whose doors, when opened, disclose within it the strange bottles. A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 PUBLICITY OF RHINELANDER CASE SCORED A Half Million Words Have Been Telegraphed From N. Y. Vulgar And Sordid Writings Condemned. NEW YORK, Dec. 2—The wide publicity given the Rhinlander annulment suit by the American press was severely criticised by Channing Pollock, playwright, before the Woman's Press, Club, here; Saturday, Pollock said "no more feasible comment upon the state of the newspapers can be found than the handling of the Rhinlander case." Only the shadow of a publication for the newspaper to print more than ten lines on the Rhinlander suit. Certainly there is no excuse for printing columns and columns of its vulgar and sordid details, which are being lapped up by the public as a cat laps up its cream. "An official of the Western Union told me that more than half a million words had been telegraphed out of New York in two weeks to papers throughout the country on the Rhinlander case. Certainly as much again has been printed here. And not one one hundredth of this space" would have been given to a fine book or a fine play or to a man who had invented a cure for tuberculosis or cancer. If the American newspaper for twenty years had devoted the same space and art to cultivation and its taste as it had devoted to the prize ring and the race track. I wouldn't have to be talking about a better theatre, and how to get it." Mr. Pollock his anger was directed, not at criticism at himself, but at the relation of art to civilization. Creative artists, he said, would always give to the public what the public wanted, and it devolved upon the public to "be careful what it wanted, and demand it in no uncertain tone." "Civilization must hit on all four cylinders—the school, the church, literature and the arts, and the public press—if we are going to preserve ourselves from the rising tide of vulgarity which has engulfed every department of life." Pollock declared. tiny and tall glasses, packs of cards, sacks of "chips," little wooden ivory men and soldiers, kings and queens and a best of all a five-string banjo and a six-string guitar. He also has a little closet with running water, opening right off his den, into which he could step occasionally and pour up the ginger ale, coca cola, and so forth—the ginger ale for me, and so forth for him and Brasher. Just us, three musketeers, you know, and again we fired and thrust and talked and laugh—at our friends, our enemies, our past and our present. Boys' that fellow Dagney has been the last half century, which, if he would write it down and offer it for sale, ought to go like "hot dog" Coney Island. After the three-corner 41 palver was over, Dahney hauled out his fivestring banjo and gave us some solos. This is a more aristocratic instrument than the humble four string variety. Now, Old Man "Phil" has not played as a professional musician for the last 25 years, but I'll tell the world he has not forgotten how to spink and tickle his little instrument, making it cry or laugh, groan or shout aloud. First you'll hear camp-meeing prayers and low moans under handkerchiefed heads—and next you'll be visioning some gay lady with a pink cotton blossom stuck in her fluffy hair, her skirts held up on either side by dainty long black fingers, while she prouetted on nimble toes. O boy! And next, Nahum Daniel Brassier, Editor of the Associated Negro Press (ahem!), co-worker with Claude A Barnett who stands more than six feet and literally looks down on Brassier and most of the rest of us mortals. This Nahum took his place in the Peeano and began to pet and punish that helpless instrument, while we all three burdened the air with our "melon" voices. Next on program—Dahney picked up his big guitar, which looks like a mother* to all the ordinary little guitars we had seen—and he played a little of every air of the last fifty years, finally tuning in on the "Spanish Fandango." Next Brascher whirled around on his stool, and by a sort of inspiration "as if were" (selah!) we all fell into an impromptu three-piece "orchestry"—Nahum at the peano, "Phill" on the guitar, and "me" with clapping of my hands and patting of my right foot—Take notice that NAHUM DANIEL Brascher's mother tried to handicap him by naming him after both a Major and a Minor Prophet, but there never was a Prophet of Palestine who could burden the breezes with such majors and minors as those liberated by Brascher and Dahney—while I clapped and patted. This grand ensemble concluded our program—But. O boys, if I had not been anticipating the burden of speaking the next night to a crowd of brown-faces at the Baptist Church, we might have tarried till day-break. For when old chaps forget that they are grown, they are some good company, and I don't mean maybe. ‘PAGE TEN _ ae » Always Go To HENRY BRAUN FOR LOWEST PRICES IN » Staple and Fancy Groccrie: 1700 GOODE AVENUE eee Mn ieee euaee eee wen 3 Re Pitt ml a * ash Bee Me .

I thought it wise to call the attention, (through the columns of the Arges, the *north race* defender) of the Negroes turn out this great state, to existing affairs. These boys, tough visting of unfortunate circumstances, and separated from society, have ambition, hope and desire to out live their misfortunes of disobedience, which have caused them to be here and when they leave this institution, they expect to go out into the world and make men who will be a credit to the race. I hope no one will think I am trying to exaggerate the desires of these boys, as my daily association and experience with them have shown me that they are looking on the bright side of life, and all they need is encouragement. To be frank, the encouragement which they receive from our race is so small, that it is a disgrace to the Negroes of this great state. To give an idea of the interest manifested in these one hundred and ninety (100) boys by our people, I will cite the following facts: They have heard only one Negro preacher in three years. During the month of November there was only one color matter, that being black; Williams There are many other things to mention, but space will not permit, which would show the laxity of interest in these boys on the part of the race. The institution is under control of white officers. Nevertheless, they are underdare of these boys and give them the same available opportunities to make good as boys of other races. I feel that if the leaders of our race would display as much interest in these boys as the colonels of this institution, very few would leave this country who would not make good in the world. It is very unpleasant to notice the literary training which these boys have had before coming here. Most of them are in the first and second grades, and 25 per cent of them can neither read nor write. EOLIA, MO.

We take a voyage to a land unknown, Attended at each station like a prince Surrounded by our loved ones, glad or sad, To bid us welcome or to say farewell. When Life first calls us from the dark unborn, Where restless, roving in our narrow cells, We feel the touch of Nature, and congealed, Assume identity and claim a being: Adventure lies before us—life unknown. Some mother's living joy, some father's pride, The source of wonder to all human hearts, The babe is king—his least desire a law: What an adventure opes before his eyes! As he embarks upon life's strange voyage. Swift thru the fancy fields of infancy Soon thrue the pleasant meads of rotting doors. Where Love the great magic clad with his charms, Enchants the heart of Youth with life's delight, And stops the voyager lost in Love's waaze. At Hymen's flowery altar we begin Our second great adventure, more blizzar— A journey fraught with many pleasant joys, And many pangs and tears, thru storm and calm; Yet arm in arm, Youth dauntlessly embarks. Thru charming seas, sunshine and bright blue skies, And blue birds fluttering in happiness. Thru sudden gloom and gales and roaring storms, Sighs and tears and pangs of joy and worry— Thru doubts and hopes and fears and Christ-taught faith. Like rocks that hide their teeth, in treachery Beneath the swelling waves of troubled seas, The strange dark angel flitting thru the gloom, Arrests the storm-digv'n voyagers at last. And anchors them within the port of Death. The gloomy port of Death to which all barks Arrive at last, no matter what their course— The unknown haven of all travelers. Upon the sea we mortal beings call life. And among the shifting sands of ruin. Freed of the shattered shell, the dauntless soul, Stands on the threshold of the vast unknown— The greatest adventure of the three. What is the haven of the Death-free soul? Who knows? Who cares, except the Death-free soul? In mournful pomp, we lay the silent dead: Within the bosom of our mother Earth, And cover them with flow'rs in loving hope, Yet weep to see the unseen soul embark. Upon a sea, unchartered-port unknown. Why do we weep? Out in the nameless Free, The Leathless Self, freed of its mortal shell, Plays in the sunshine of Eternity, With Truth and angles and with God Himself— Symbols and shadows left upon the grave. NOW It's foolish to dream of the future to come, Or to grieve for the days that are gone. As we pause, we grow old, still hurrying home To the grave where the others have gone. In the present we live, in the present we die; We do what we do today, today! Then how can we pause to dream or to sigh? Or foolishly cast our moments away? We build the future by the deeds we do. In the present that hurries us on. So let's make it as great as the skies are blue; And remember, the present's our own. Our moments are dearer than jewels or gold, And as upward, each wings to God's throne. Let it as a prize, some deed unfold, That will merit us our Lord's "Well Done." BECAUSE OF YOU A Love Song to H, I. I. B. I count it happiness at close of day. To hear the voice of gentle Slumber- woo. As thru the realms of dreams I slip away; Because I know that I shall dream of you. And when at morn, in joy of life, I wake. Exulting at each flower and warb- ling bird. I think alone of you, and thru the break. In each bird's song, your voice alone is yeard. Because of you, dear 'heart,' because of you. My life is just a dream of happiness. Because you said you loved—that A Lamp that Burns. 94% Air. A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. S.

Gussif associates her mother with Fair of Jack Clifford, a fast young man about town and also limits that she is intimate with Donald Watson, a young physician. They vie for her favors, much to the disgust of her sweetheart, Ned Ramsey, who, tiring of her obstinate will proposes to Julia Blyston, her rival. On a wild party with Doctor Watson on New Year's eve, they are surprised by a raid and she is lodged in the town jail until morning. Doctor Watson marries her the next day only to inform her that he doesn't love nor respect her but marries her to save her parents from the disease sequelae. Deciding she can bear the life living with him as his wife in name only, she leaves on his wight of her marriage for St. Louis. Shack Cifford, who happens to be on the same train, directs her to a boarding house on Pine street. Here she is puzzled by the string manner of the hatbady, Mrs. Ormskay, who blinks that she has plans of playing for Mazie's immediate en- ployer. Chap Mystery of the House of Ormsley Sailor Just as I sank down on the narrow hard bed and began wring righ just how I could bear it until nothing. I heard a light trapping on the door. "May I come in?" It was "Mrs. Ormiston's index." Almost before I am swerved she pushed the door open and entered. I the thought perhaps you'd lace little hungry, so I took the liberty of pretending you a light meal. Do you drink coffee?" "Oh, how kind of you to think of me. And I like coffee very much!" I sullen as I moved over to the small table by the window. She sounded pleased, and I thought I saw her give a little sight of relief as she placed the large tray on the table. She pulled a cord and the gas jet in the large bowl shaped chandelier sputtered into a dull glow of light. It was truly an appetizing lunch-ice. There was tender broiled steak and thick hot muffins with golden butter. And as I poured thick rich cream into the steaming black coffee a tempting aroma floated about me. And vegetables? How my hungry gaze devoured them. Tender greens and corn fried until it was just brown. How I did eat! Not a single dish left untouched. But as I dog my spoon far down into the of the little mound, I quarked the gota for my hand grow a bit unsturdy. Was it my only imagination or did the pyramid shapped iced cream suddled tootter and then gummerge itself in the muffin glarry? I let the spoon slip from my fingers and pretends for twiety long minutes that seemed like an age. I sat staring with unseeing eyes at the square black space I knew to be the window. A alziness that way, blinding-in it texture stole over me. I rubbed my eyes and started to my feet. The tray of dishes chattered to the floor as I heavily struggled to regain my curiosity. My hands flew to my breast where something seemed to be smothering, choking the breath from my body. If I could only raise the window or call someone to make on-step movements, I could make on-step movements a momentary vision of articles in the room daning about as in a frightful dream. I heard the book, hook book of un auto born from the far away street below; felt myself shifting, slinking helplessly fin to oblivion. Wide eyed wardrobe and a shaded sort of curly hair marred my return to consciousness. Winking to move my body I fell back contended to gaze at the ceiling as my ad danced limbs gave no response I gawd my tongue about in a vain effort to dispel the dry dirtiness from my mouth. Fazing in bewildement at the strange surroundings, my eyes opened in wilt-surprise as I realized I had never been inside that room before. A few rays of light stole between the rich red draperies casting a fire like glow over the old mahogany furniture. It was apparently late morning. Slowly the happenings of the past evening took form in my memory. Mrs. Ormsby her strangely house and the delicious fun she had prepared for me. And that coot fee "drummed." I muttered in despair. I dragged myself out of bed and辕 across the room to the window. Here I hesitated for an in a borete pulling back the velvet hangings. Fear gripped my heart in a tortured clutch as I moved my trembling hands toward the drapery. I had not fully made up my mind as to what I should expect when at last my gaze should room beyond that window. Indeed I had been too frighten and ill to dart in and look. My fear fell behind me I stood spellbound. Now I saw why the light had only filtered into the draperies: behind a scene which sent "kills of horror racing up my spine." Iron bars." Not jail this time. Would in heaven it had been. For even the protecting walls of jail would have been more welcome than the sight of the unlawful bars of iron that curved about that window. As my brain cleared I thought quickly. I had no doubt been brought to that room from Miss Ormiston's house, while under the influence of the dragged coffee. I didn't know just where I was, but I knew I must hays from St. Louis. "But. why be miles from Pine street and . . . per would they bring me here?" I cried aloud in my fear. That guy one I knew was so hard to reach to me ridiculously foolish. Yet here I was, and without "attempting to open the one door to the room I knew it to be securely locked. As I looked down I wondered why they had taken the precaution of the bars. It was fully twenty feet to the show covered ground below. No one in their senses, would take such a and aperate chance. They would be killed instantly. Then a thought grotesque and terrifying took form in my mind, Hairbreadth tales from paper backed novels telling of things likely to happen, to a girl in my pre-demission flashed before my eyes. Somewhere out of the thickening mist of my thoughts two words were formed: "whit havery," A moan low and agonizing broke from my lips. "Oh, I'd rather be dead, rather be dashed to playes on the ground below than submit to that." Sobs I slank my body as too wear work tractors to my knees. "That's by way we have the bats arranged so nicely, we don't have pretty little ladies to show themselves to an antimedium." Starting up in surprise I whirled about to face the owner of the voice who had shucked me back to the stark reality of the amazing situation. I faint that moment I had not seen any bear any signs of human habitation. And even then I didn't know whether to be glad or sorry of this abrupt intrusion. "But somewhere within me a voice soft but very urgent me to be brave. 'Who are you and why am I here?' Bravely I attempted to appear calm. But I seemed that I could feel blood hot and maesnacing making circles above my heart. And his dark eyes penetrating and cruel did not tend to be seen in my fear. At a glance I took in his tall handsomely proportioned frame. His straight black hair brushed overlessly back from his forehead. I noticed espially how his tigh lips tip set in a brown-skinned dark hair. Brown-skinned dark hair. That was the impression he gave me as he stood there showing his even teeth in a sarcastically grit, which he meant to appear friendly. For two minutes we stood there facing each other, gazing backwards at each other as if each were trying to farbom the soul of the other. He was the first to speak. "Who I am it would do you little good to know, why you are hers less less." But if you're of a naked to know less but the heart to disappoint you" Crossing the room with a catiline he drew a chair and with a book he drew that he wished me to be sent. Not seeing where it would be easy to refuse I dropped wearly into the deep enshiored chaita. Still sanding he took a silver case of cigarettes from his pocket and after offering them to me proceeded to fight one for himself. "No!" he raised his brows at my refusal. "They're not drunked." he said as he smiled and began puffing away. "Now for your questions. First. I am Black Mexican. A peculiar name which I presume you will consider a very appropriate when you know that he supposed to be half Negro and half Mexican, my friend of surprise he continued. "And you are here because of the fact that you came like countless other beautiful girls without money or friends and with very little fore thought to seek your location in a city of bright light and sun. Well, by some hook or crook you happened by the Orselyn house and because you possess beauty that is middling, intoxicating and worth hundreds of dollars in your business, you were brought here to be trained in the art of skillful fire. You will be told more in time. I don't think it necessary to inform you of the futility of attempting an escape. No, we can hear you if you were in danger, and you would not despair and nothing to answer him. I stood in spelling-like silence as he backed away. "Not taking any chances you see, although you were carefully searched." His teeth glomed while as he grinned in that sardonic way of his. As his key turned in the back I jumped to my feet and stood for a moment striving to collect my wits. Now for a first I knew I was in grave danger. I might be killed or even meet a far worse fate. One by one I visualized the faces of the few Mexicans I had seen about my home town and especially during a visit to Southen Alabama. Tracheous and uncoathal, a direct contrast to the imminent appearance of the self-destructing Mexican fell toward the border in a certain horror. Their wide sibilations, their too thick straight hair and greyless clothing and always given me the creeps. But, tooth that with the typical greaser even with the uncoathal ignorant Mexican of the Southland I would have dared hope for some kind of consideration. But in the elut-hes of this handsome published-belfast, I knew better than to expect mercy. That his black beak eyes that glittered like points of steel were incapable of softening I well knew. For even in the pixel atmosphere of my home town terrible rumors had penetrated. And the wave of erine which had caused a general mistress for three years thrung out the middle west. And always the mud. Black Mex. an guilty, yet enlusive was mentioned as the most darling of dare-devils. Far down from the window I could see the rippling brown water of the Mississippi ever flowing on its way. How I wished that it's restless waves could close over my tired aching body, and that somewhere in its chilling depths I might find a peaceful death. I thought of the quiet peaceful days spent in the shelter of my own home town. Thought of mother, dad and son Watson, my husband. "Hush!" How mockingly hollow my voice sounded as that word fell from my lips. "I've made a frightful mess of my life, but Oh, dear God, I'm so sorry." I cried in sudden anguish. Sobs that came from the depths of my heart: sobs of heart reading retraction ran through my body as tears flung and blinding, rained from my eyes. I brushed my hand across my face and stood gazing far out of the window lost in meditation. If I had only been more careful, less of a flapper and more of a real girl—it I had only heeded mother's old fashioned advice. Then I'd probably have married Ned Ramsey, had a home and THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 4, 1925 a story with a "happy ever afterward" ending, "I put what's the use of regrets that come too late?" I mushed. Away to my right lay St. Louis, a smoking city of restless folks who hurried on through life, some of them never quite realizing just what life and the freedom to live it in their own way meant. A blue haze of mist hung like a "protecting mantle against the grey mid-winter sky. It reminded me of the Biblical "sign of the cloud by day." "A city that sleepspee," I murmured. "Surely a God who watches over and keeps a sleeping city from wholly succumbing to the ways of evil, can keep all hertm from me. If I can only trust Him." Slowly my lips formed a prayer in prayer such as I had never uttered before I trailed my arms to the misty sky and prayer to the Great Spirit who carried out brave men across the seas and brought them safely home again. To the God of my parents and forefathers I made my tearful plon. (To be continued next week).
