BISHOP BROOKS SPEAKS BEFORE FISK AUDIENCE Nashville, Tenn., Mar. 25—The students and faculty of Fisk University were fortunate in having as their guest at Chapel Services, on last Tuesday morning, Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, who gave an inspiring message on his work in Africa. Bishop Brooks admonished the students not to think solely of Africa as their fatherland, but rather as representing the abode of the many unfortunate of our group. He said that "it is the duty of every Negro boy and girl receiving higher education to remember his unfortunate brother in the dark continent, especially the fifty million or more women, who are slaves under the system of polygamy." The Bishop showed genuine interest in his field of work and a sincere desire to impress us with the great need in Africa. FATHER ACCUSED (By A. N. P.) Memphis, Tenn., Mar. 25.—Christine Hughes, 19, went on the stand in Judge Harsh's court here this week and charged that her father; James Hughes, was the father of her eight weeks' old baby. Hughes was in court. She claimed that her father had been intimate with her for some years, had sent her to school and Sunday school, but had never permitted her to have any young male company. Hughes denied that he had ever been intimate with his daughter, or that he is the father of her child.

Jo Baker Gets Into Fuss; Now Faces Lawsuit Paris.—Josephine Baker, formerly of "Runnin' Wild," who headed a Negro revue in the European capitals and taught Europe the Charleston, pleaded before a referee appointed by the Seine Tribunal that she is under age and therefore cannot be bound by contract. Josephine jumped the company in Berlin and returned to Paris, where she signed to play in the Follies Bergères for $1,000 a month. The revue manager followed her here and sued for 200,000 francs for breaking the contract. The referee postponed decision until he can examine the American law in the case.

ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1926 APRIL 11-17 WILL BE EDUCATIONAL WEEK FOR ELKS Minneapolis Lodge Plans Programs to Encourage Negro Education. Students Will Speak Civic Organizations to Unite in Project; Affair to Be of Annual Occurrence. Ames Lodge of Elks, No. 106, I. B. P. O| E. W., has arranged plans for "Educational Week," beginning April 11, in response to a call issued by Judge William C. Hueston, of Gary, Indiana, Commissioner of Education, whose office was created at the last session of the Grand Lodge to establish a fund for scholarships for struggling and deserving Negro students. The scholarship fund is maintained by assessments and donations. Speakers will give five minute talks in the churches and before several organizations on Sunday, April 4, asking the co-operation of the public in this forward movement for the highest development of Negro youth, which will be conducted like those great Educational endowments that have encouraged and assisted many deserving young people through prize awards and scholarships, to complete their education. Miss W. Gertrude Brown of Phyllis Wheatley House has offered to prepare a program at the center on Friday evening, April 16, which will be a creditable exhibition of local talent and will be attended by members of the Board of Education and other interested in educational work. The Elks are very fortunate in having the assistance of Miss Brown, whose enthusiasm in any undertaking is an inspiration to others and always a success. Civic Bodies Co-operate. The Sunday Forum, N. A. A. C. P. and Urban League will participate in making "Educational Week" a commendable effort by the Elks and their patrons. Minnehaha Temple Daughter Elks and Ames Lodge of Elks, will hold their opening exercises of the week on Sunday afternoon, April 11th, at Elks Hall, 6th and Lyndale Ave. N. at 3 P. M.

With the acquittal of Amantea, the charges against the other prisoners were dismissed. The jury reached their decision in one hour Monday. Sodomy Charge. Amantea was the first of the eight defendants indicted by the Bronx Grand Jury to be tried for their relation with Ruby Edwards, the 14-year-old girl, who died several days after she had been taken from a barn in the Bronx. He was directly charged with sodomy. The jury was carefully selected by assistant District Attorney William Kier and Louis Hartman, representing the defendant, Thursday. The first witness for the prosecution took the stand shortly after noon. He was the man that owned the barn. He was followed on the stand by Patrolmen Dian and Foley, Sergeant Henry Robert Volze and the girl's mother. Jury Retires. Attorney Alan Dingle, secured by the N. A. A. C. P., assisted in the prosecution. After the two days of direct and cross examination, Judge Barrett charged the jury. He was deliberate, explaining in detail the points of law upon which the crux of the case rested and reviewing completely the entire testimony. With great emphasis he urged the jury men to be without a reasonable doubt, a doubt that they would consider in their business, in returning their verdict. The jury retired at 4 o'clock. The owner of the barn was the first to take the stand. He told that he discovered the girl in his barn with several of the defendants. He made them leave the premises and later informed the police, he testified. The temperature outside was about 4 degrees above zero. The girl, he said, was partially clothed at POLICE TAKE LIFE OF NEGRO BOY,20 Kansas City Youth Shot Second Time As He Lay Dying, Eye Witnesses Aver. Kansas City, Mo—Dorsey Stewart, 20, was shot to death here with a riot gun last Friday morning by police officers who caught him in the act of stealing a ham from a delivery truck. The shooting occurred at the corner of Nineteenth and Vine streets. The charge from the riot gun was fired without calling to the boy to halt, although at the time the shot was fired, the boy was about 40 feet from both officers and could have been halted or caught easily. With 13 slugs in his abdomen and hands, the boy ran nearly a hundred feet and fell moaning and crying to the ground behind a signboard. At this point, eye-witnesses state one of the officers ran to the boy and with an oath fired a pistol bullet into his body as he lay dying. An indignation mass meeting was held Monday evening at the Vine Street Baptist church, at which time Rev. Holmes denounced the killing as murder, wholly outside the pursuit of duty, and called for the prosecution of the Officers in the criminal court on a charge of murder. A resolution calling upon the county prosecutor to file direct for murder against the officers was adopted at the meeting. Police commissioners have promised to investigate fully and "go the limit" on the basis of their findings. Seniors At Howard Suspended For Hand In All-night-party the time he saw her. Girl Questioned. Ruby was later taken to the police station. When questioned at the police station as to what the men had done to her, she replied: "Ask them. They know." Detective Dinan, one of the arresting officers, took the stand, and his testimony was corroborated by Detective Foley. The officers testified that the defendants were examined separately at the station, and each made confessions. The girl, the officers said, had willingly gone to the barn with them. Sergeant Henry denied the charge of one of the defendants that the officers and forced the defendants to make confessions. The signed statements, he said, were taken by him. The policemen were followed on the stand by Robert Volze, one of the defendants, who turned state evidence. Witness Grilled. Counsel for Amentea grilled Volze severely and questioned his creditability as a witness. Volze told of his experience with the girl and the relation he saw the defendant have with her. He told how the girl suggested and urged him and two of his companions to take her to the barn. Turning from the story of his knowledge of her riding up and down the subways, Volze told of the two-day experience with the girl. The story was more pathetic than horrible. It seemed that an ignorant, foolish little girl had come to New York and gone astray. Lack of Evidence. The girl's mother, Mrs. Della Walker, took the stand to give the girl's correct age. She said that she was born December 11, 1911. That the girl had the appearance of a young woman about 20 years old was admitted by her mother. In resting the case before the jury the defense argued that no evidence had been produced that showed that the act was actually committed. That there had been no corroboration of the testimony of Volze was also contended by the defense counsel. Total Now Three Boys, Three Girls Under Punishment for Participating in "Backbiters" Party, February 22. Washington, D. C.—Walter Harmon, senior medical student in Howard University, was indefinitely suspended last Thursday by the medical school faculty because of his connection with a party on February 22, which resulted in three girls of the college remaining out of the Miner hall dormitory all night. The girls who remained out all night were suspended by Dean Lucy D. Slowe on February 23, after the preceptress had reported that they had failed to spend the night in Miner hall. Boys Suspended. The suspended girls are Miss Thelma Louise Dean of Baltimore, Md., Miss Ruth Victoria Royster of Brockton, Mass., the home town of President J. Stanley Durkeen and Miss Edna Dorothy Harper of Manassas, Va. One of the girls was a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Following the action of the dean of women, the two college boys who attended the party with the "co-eds" were suspended. They are Theodore Mark White of Bay City, Mich., and Gilbert Lloyd Edwards of New Haven, Conn. Faculty and students divided on the question of whether or not the two professional school students should be disciplined. In the case of Frederick Lyons French, a freshman West Virginia Pastor Will Preach at Memorial Church for Both Services, April 11 Rev. H. P. James. The Rev. H. P. James A.B., B.D. of West Virginia, will fill the pulpit of Memorial Baptist church for both morning and evening services on Sunday, April 11, the second Sunday in April. Rev. James comes highly recommended as a gospel minister and a national character. The public is cordially invited to hear him. Rev. E. G. Harris of Minneapolis will fill the pulpit Easter mornings. In the evening there will be held an old fashioned covenant meeting and Lord's supper. Everyone is welcome.

This will be one of the finest homes among the race in the Twin Cities. law student, the law school faculty decided not to suspend him. He was, however, ordered to apologize to the dean of women for his conduct, to remain off the "hill" for the remainder of this school year, and given a verbal reprimand. The fact that French accompanied a young lady to the "Backbiters" party who was not a student, although she was a guest in Miner Hall from New York, lessened his punishment. Harmon Action Late. The medical school faculty took no action in the case of Walter Harmon until after an expose had been made in the newspapers of a double standard of discipline as between professional and non-professional school students. Last Thursday evening he was indefinitely suspended. Harmon is said to be a married student. According to reports, the three "co-eds," a girl visitor in Miner Hall and the four boys attended a "back-bitters" party given in the city by a group of fraternity men, on George Washington's birthday evening.

PAUL PASTORS ASKED TO STAND ANTI-EVANGELIST Letter From Urban League Goes to Pastors Asking Denouncement of Man. Harris Wants Meeting Christian Center Called Crux of Debate; Harris to Seek Vindication. Growing out of a feeling that has been rife for some years, distrust of the actions of the Rev. J. W. Harris, 576 W. Central Ave., broke into flaming notice last week when a letter was sent from the headquarters of the local Urban League to all the ministers in the city asking that they take a definite stand and express their disapproval of the activities of Rev. Harris. The letter points out that an investigation of the Urban League has resulted in the belief that Rev. Harris constitutes a serious obstacle to the well-being of the colored people of St. Paul; that Rev. Harris has time and again been condemned by the St. Paul Association, and the Charities Endorsement Committee; that the last named committee is convinced that Rev. Harris is a grave imposition upon the community and that worthy projects suffer because of his presence. Harris Menace. Claim. Indicating that the Urban League has taken the same stand as the bodies named, the letter ends asking that official action be taken by the ministers denouncing Rev. Harris and his activities as a menace to the community. The letter is signed by E. A. Carter, executive secretary of the Urban League. Rev. Harris in a heated statement for publication in reply to the letter, said in part: Building Project Cause. Building Project Cause. "A public announcement was made in The St. Paul Echo of March 14 concerning the construction of a building for religious training and character building education among Negroes, and certainly it was expected that the project would be attacked. . . And before making any investigation, these men (the attackers of Harris and his project) being over anxious to create a disturbance and kill this project, of which they could never be head, sent a letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and at a meeting of the executive board of the N. A. A. C. P. on March 18, just four days after the announcement was made, Mr. W. T. Francis, in an attempt to secure disapproval of our project, in that meeting where only eight people were present, and at least two of the eight dissenting, succeeded in securing a vote publicly denouncing our project.

Mrs. Few, owner and manager of the Owl Garage, states that statistics show 83 percent of all motor troubles can be traced back to leaky valves. The Kwik Way System is a scientific, effective mechanical process of the utmost precision and accuracy and it puts new pep in old motors and makes new motors better. The Owl Garage invites the car owners and drivers to drive in, as information is freely given and there is no charge for consultation. WHERE SHALL THE LINE BE DRAWN? We have not joined the purity squad. We have not become members of any religious blue law cult. We do sincerely believe that we are not mid-Victorian in our theories. Even so, we want to throw our weak protest along with the thousands of others that have been elicited by certain trends in present-day popular music. Some "blues" are an artistic type to be highly appreciated if one has an ear for that kind of music. They depict suffering, deep melancholy, weariness over the contemplation of a depressing condition which cannot be changed, gripping tragedy. Through an infinite variety of emotions they go, etching outlines of pathos. They are an esthetic achievement. Another kind of "blues" song has its foundation in wanton abandon. Its verses are a jargon of repeated phrases, more or less meaningless, but withal of an undercurrent that is stinkingly suggestive. Its music is a veritable symphony of sensuousness. Its groans, and sobs, and pleads, and moans. This type of song varies widely. Sometimes it seems harmless to the casual listener. Again it seems to border on the unnice. And sometimes it is so flagrantly vile that there can be no escape from the immediate realization of its filth. The last type seems to be growing in popularity, or at least in volume. One St. Paul mother in speaking about one of the latest Victrola record hits sung by Ethel Waters said, voicing the opinion of thousands of adults who are thinking about the welfare of their children, "I don't see how any young girl can listen to that record in the presence of boys without feeling a sense of shame." The remark was neither prudish or silly. The record in question has already caused so much unfavorable comment that there has been a serious threat to stop the further sale of it. It is one of the advanced outposts of the type of blue music which exalts sensuousness and relegates artistry to obscurity. A flood of music of that type has an impreceptibly slow but ultimately disastrous effect upon the slowing up of the moral growth of any community. It takes its strongest grip upon the impressionable minds of children and young people, and reaps its greatest harvest in their actions under its constant influence. A more worthy action could not be taken by civic and religious leaders than an attempt at the complete suppression or the reduction to a minimum of this pernicious flow of suggestive flth masquerading under the name of music.

That lodges for its adherence to what lettering the education of did no doubt will receive, in Cities. As a community, the Twin Cities has been markedly friendly in its attitude toward college and university students. In the past, it has offered every encouragement to make such students an integral part of the group life, and it has given to them in many instances responsible positions in religious and civic work. Some organizations have even given financial assistance to worthy students. The Every-Woman's Progressive Council falls within that class. Of the organizations which have made a definite policy of assisting and encouraging students, the Sterling club is perhaps foremost. It has acted as a sort of private and unadvertised agency for finding employment for college men, and in certain instances it has proffered actual financial aid to individuals. Each year it holds public functions to honor students, to promote good will between the community and the school-going group, and to develop a spirit of fellowship between students and its members. The annual testimonial to graduates of the local high schools, colleges, and the University of Minnesota is one of those commendable functions. The other is the spring smoker given by the club for fraternity men and other men students upon local college campuses, an event which is looked forward to eagerly each year. An even more liberal policy with reference to college men is being contemplated by the club. Now comes the news that one of the fraternal orders in Minneapolis is to set aside a week annually for the sole purpose of encouraging Negro education, and for creating interest in a scholarship fund for colored students. That lodge is to be commended for its action, and for its adherence to what seems to be a community policy for fostering the education of the Negro youth. Its program deserves, and no doubt will receive, the hearty support of the people of the Twin Cities. WHY NOT BUY? which of summer and hot wint begin, as they have in the ages which may be rented With the approach of summer and hot weather, many St. Paul home owners will begin, as they have in the spring of past years, to look for lake cottages which may be rented for a few weeks or the entire summer. On many of the nearby and favored lake fronts, there are still occasional blocks of lots which are open for colored as well as white purchase. In some places, such blocks have already been bought up by small groups of colored resorters. An increase in the number of lake cottages bought by colored people would indicate foresight, would help to ward off a growing strength in discriminatory practices, would let them take advantage of the health asset of some of Minnesota's beautiful lakes, and would in the long run be cheaper than renting. BOOK REVIEWS By Mary White Orington, Chairman, Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. "BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE" By the Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor Published by the Pilgrim Press, 19 South La Salle street, Chicago, Ill Price $1.00 postpaid. In connection with the study of the training of the Negro ministry it is pleasant to read this story that the Rev. Mr. Proctor has written of his own life. Here is a successful clergyman who has had the same thorough training that would have been his had he been white, first Fisk University and then Yale Theological School. Mr. Proctor must have made a considerable sacrifice when he turned from North to South and went to Atlanta for his first large pastorate. Here he carried on successfully an institutional church, a new undertaking at that time in the Negro world, and one still far from usual. He left Atlanta at the instance of a group of Brooklyn clergymen, among them Treverend S. Parks Cadman, and is at present pastor of a congregational church in Brooklyn. The book is in part a collection of essays and in part the story of a life. The biographical part is the best and one enjoys hearing of the little colored child who loved the beautiful Tennessee valley in which the two-roomed cabin stood. "The corn field was my gymnasium, the river my bath-tub, and the awe-inspiring sky of stars my moving-picture. I had plain food, plenty of sleep, and an abundance of fresh air—things for which I have ever been grateful." "Between Black and White" is optimistic, hearty, happy. It continually gives Pippa's philosophy that—"All's right with the world." St. Paul Pastors Asked to (Continued from page 1) meeting should be called to be held at an early date in one of the churches of the city of St. Paul, other than the Pilgrim Baptist church, where facts can be submitted and the findings of the Urban League's investigation may be given to the people of St. Paul by the Urban League secretary and two other persons whom said secretary may designate for the purpose of condemning or publicly denouncing me and my activities as a menace to the community in which we live. "It is further suggested that after these speakers have had ample opportunity to state their grounds for denunciation of me and my activities, that I be given ample opportunity to answer same. The congregation would then be given an opportunity to vote publicly, and the action be published in any of the papers of the city of St. Paul." Carter Silent. When Mr. Carter of the Urban League was approached, he said: "The Urban League will not engage in any press controversy with any persons or organizations which come under the purview of the work of the Urban League." On being asked about his probable participation in the public meeting suggested by Rev. Harris, Mr. Carter laughed. Replies to the letter sent out by the Urban League indicate that the consensus of opinion is that the activities of Rev. Harris should be stopped. Rev. Harris came to St. Paul in January of 1922. For approximately six months has was the pastor of Memorial Baptist church, Rice St. at Fuller Ave., and during his administration he introduced several church reforms and improvements. At the end of that short period, Rev. Harris was dismissed from the church. Since then he has been engaged in evangelical work. His latest project is the erection of a Christian Center to be located at 603 W. Central Ave. NEED SOME? ITS a fine thing to know where you can get cash when you need it.

FROM LEFTOVERS When one has a cupful or two of cooked chicken, several things may be done with it; and a dozen more will suggest themselves as we think about it. If a little fried chicken is left, remove the meat in neat, even-sized pieces, crack the bones and cover them with cold water and put to simmer on the back BUNNY Chicken Chop Suey—Take one cupful of celery (or more if the dish needs to be stretched) to two cupfuls of minced chicken, a good sized onion minced, and one green pepper also minced. If one has a few cooked string beans with their liquor add them and the broth from the chicken bones and a cupul or less of good chicken gravy. Slimmer for an hour on the back of the stove, add seasoning of salt and pepper and serve in the center of the hot platter with seasoned cooked hot rice as a border. If any chicken fat has been saved, pour it over the rice and add two teaspoonfuls of Chinese sauce to the meat just as it is ready to serve. Curried Chicken—Season a cupful or two of boiled rice with melted butter or chicken fat and a teaspoonful of curry powder. Arrange a baking dish with alternate layers of minced chicken and the rice with any chicken gravy. Have the rice at the bottom and on the top with the chicken between. Dot with bits of butter and put into a moderate oven to become thoroughly hot. Serve at once. Ginger Bread—To one well-beaten egg, add one cupful of sugar, half a cupful of melted lard, one cupful of molasses, a tablespoonful of ginger, a teaspoonful of salt and three cupfuls of flour—sifted before measuring. Mix well and add one teaspoonful of soda to a measuring cup, and fill with boiling hot coffee. Pour over the mixture and stir until evenly mixed. Bake in a deep dripping pan forty minutes.

ATHLETE GIVEN LETTER Los Angeles, Calif., March. At a rally meeting in the Bovard auditorium, Friday afternoon, the highest distinction for athlete achievement attainable at the University of Southern California, was realized by twenty-one of her grandest athletes, among whom was one race man, Brice Taylor. The occasion was the awarding of letters and trophies and a pecuniary reward. Those players who bore the brunt of the burden on the school football team last season received cardinal and gold sweaters with the University letters on them. Brice Taylor was one of the football stars to receive a coveted emblem for achievement on the gridiron during 1925. HONOR POST DELEGATED TO N. Y. COLORED BOY New York, March—David Myers, a colored student of Stuyvesant High School in New York, has been elected President of the General Organization of the School, winning by an overwhelming majority of the student's votes. Mr. Myers has been ever active in the affairs of the school having been for two years a member of the football team, a member of the track team, one of the best javelin throwers that the school has had for a long time and a shot-putter, as well as a member of the relay team. NEW FOOTBALL RULES Tuskegee Institute, A la bama, March 26, 1926.—Cleve L. Abbott, the crafty Tiger Mentor, in an interview here today with reference to the recent changes announced by the rules committee said: "The restrictions of the foward pass by recent changes in the rules will not make a great deal of difference nor will the other changes affect the game materially. The purpose of the rule was to stop a team from throwing a lot of wild, poorly conceived passes in the closing minutes of a game. For instance, in 1924, in one of our games, Tuskegee had a lead of 7 points in the first quarter; in the other three quarters our opponent threw 52 passes, completing only three for short gains. Doing away with the intentional safety was a good move. I believe further restrictions should be placed on the forward pass unless football is to become a sort of modified form of basketball.

"Y" NOTES I am sure those who attended the Lenten service Tuesday morning will agree with us when we say that the hour of worship was one that we will remember during the years to come, especially during holy week. Dr. Rising's discourse, or sermon makes many of us look forward to Easter for the spiritual and not the material good that dawns with it. The musical numbers were well chosen and appropriate. The Aldrich Masquers presented the "Oxford Affair," a three-act comedy to a full house Friday night. What with charming debutantes, two trim maids, an old maid chaperon, a prim disciple of Shakespeare, a newly rich society lady and a dashing young widow, the audience was highly entertained. Those taking part in the play were Misses Alice and Louise Moore, Dolly and DeQuince Jordan, Ceceila King, Florence Doty, Mary Jones and Maxine Woodfork. Mrs. Carr, who is dramatic coach for the club deserves much credit for the splendid showing made by the girls. A group of Ukelele girls consisting of Margaret Berry, Chequeta Lonewolf, Martha Bradley, and Guenivere Kelly with Gloria Griffen at the piano entertained the audience between acts. A splendid program made up entirely of male talent was offered at our vespers Sunday. Messrs. B. H. Miller and John Hickman in vocal solos and a vocal duet as usual thrilled the audience with their mellow tones. Mr. E. O. Brown's talk on Palm Sunday was very good and well received. We hope that we can have the quartette with us again soon as the audience insisted on "more of it." Mr. Miller, who was in charge of the program is to be commended for this very great service to the Religious Education Committee. Don't forget our Story and Play Hour every Saturday at 10:30 P. M. "The Resurrection of our Lord." a miracle story depicting the Easter story will be given Sunday afternoon by a group of young people under the direction of Mrs. Eva Carr. Your Easter worship will not be complete if you fail to attend this service. 4:30 P. M. MAN KILLS (Preston News Service) Steubenville, O., March 31.

Speaking of Signatures The small son of an Indianapolis photographer recently was reprimanded by his teacher about his writing. "You are a very poor scribe, Joe," she said, severely. "I just don't know what to do about it." "You don't need to worry about me," he answered quickly. "It don't matter. I'm gonna be a doctor, anyway."

"No, he's digging his grave with my teeth." People in Alsace, believing that a miracle has taken place, have begun pilgrimages to a girl's grave, which, when opened recently, was found to contain only a handful of pearls and a rosary. An inquiry began immediately, and it was ascertained that the coffin, which had not been tampered with, was nailed down by a workman in the presence of an undertaker. A number of people recall the sainthy life of the girl, which strengthens the prevalent belief that a miracle has happened. Phone: Elkhurst 1156 Capital City Auto Electric Co.

The blood of an insect does not circulate through a system of closed blood tubes, as in man, but, instead, it more or less completely fills that part of the body cavity which is not filled with other organs. Oxygen is thus brought in contact with the blood by means of the tracheae. Insects have the most powerful muscles of all animals of their size. Relatively, an enormous amount of energy is released during the jumping or flying of a grasshopper. The tracheae pass directly into the muscles and other tissues. Here oxygen is passed into the tissues and oxidation takes place when the work is done. In addition to the beauty and comfort hardwood floors give to a home, considering the small cost added necessary to their installation, they are really economical. It is questionable if a home can be called modern that if without hardwood floors, and as a time and labor saver there is nothing among the things that are considered extras in home construction that affords greater satisfaction.
