Issue was joined with Dean Miller by F. Eugene Corby, a New York University law student, who was acting as the master of ceremonies. He took exceptions to the contention of Dean Miller that no matter what the Negro may acquire economically, the white man will always be in the dominating position. Mr. Corby declared that what the white man has done, other peoples may do. He said that there are international forces at play to-day, which Dean Miller had failed to take into consideration, and that these forces are challenging the superiority of the white races. He predicted that the Negro will play a big part in the future of the world. The grand polemarch of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Earl B. Dickerson, of Chicago, Illinois, who officially responded to the address of Dean Miller, did not concur in the views of either Dean Miller or Mr. Corby. He sought to reconcile opposing views. "The college bred men of the second generation, of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and other fraternities, meet the issue squarely when they say that they not only join in the mad rush for the economic development of our people, but likewise they see the cultural value of learning," said Mr. Dickerson in reply to the remarks of Dean Miller concerning practical education. "I want to assure Dean Miller," Mr. Dickerson declared, "that the young college man of today is not altogether the college man of pranks and foolishness. He is not altogether the man you see on the campus. "The young college man is giving his mind, his attention to the serious problems of leadership. The college fraternities are trying to develop a new leadership that will take up these estates that you men of the first generation of college-bred men leave us. "Kappa Alpha Psi with other fraternities," Mr. Dickerson concluded, "accepts the challenge of the hour and, if you please, attempts to reconcile the utilitarian with the cultural view." Dean Miller in his address had declared that the younger college graduates represent the second generation of college-bred Negroes. "The first generation," Dean Miller said, "has stood the test, has proved to the doubting world that the Negro is fully capable of receiving and assimilating all forms of culture. The question is not whether they are capable (Continued on page 2) Presid Huntlet and Youth accepted the long last Monday evening of the day in the Andrew Rankin Memorial when Dean Kelly Miller in deess raised several controversial in Miller by F.

SURVEY OF 1926 SHOWS LITTLE RACE PROGRESS SURVEY OF 1926 SHOWS LITTLE RACE PROGRESS By Louis R. Lautier The year of 1926 comes to a close with few outstanding achievements for the Negro. The general apathy that set in during the post war period continued throughout the year. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement was the selection of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson as president of Howard University to succeed Dr. J. Stanley Durkee. It marked a new era in the history of the school and the race. He is the first man of his race to be elected by the board of trustees to fill this position at Howard. Death and tragedy, played important roles. There were several deaths of well known and prominent Washingtonians in 1926. Two tragedies shocked the community. One was a murder. The other was a suicide. Politically there was very little of consequence. James A. Cobb succeeded the late Judge Robert H. Terrell as a judge of the municipal court. There was no legal or favorable to colored people. The McKinley anti-lynching bill died in committee. A summary of the leading events in the old year is as follows: January 3—Funeral services were held for the Rev.

Hicks, who lives there, and took a leather traveling bag containing toilet articles and $20 in bills belonging to him. The burglary occurred about 5:30 p.m. A Tribune reporter passing the house about that time noticed two men leave the house with the stolen articles, and load them into a covered truck, but did not think at the time that a burglary was being committed. A woman living on the third floor was in the house all the time. She heard the thieves but thought that they were looking after the house while the family was attending the funeral. She had been to the services, but became ill at the church and returned to the Norman residence. The thieves left books and papers strewn all over the house. Many drawers had been rifled.

TWICE AS MANY ARE VICTIMS OF MOBS IN 1926 AS PREVIOUS YEAR TUSKEGEE, ALA., Jan. 1—Lynchin in America took a decided jump during 1926 over 1925 according to a report made public by the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute. There were 29 persons lynched in 1926. This is 13 more than the number lynched in 1925 which was 16. America's lynching record for other years followed: 1924, 16 lynched, 1923, 33 lynched; 1922, 57 lynched. Of the 29 persons lynched, there were 22 Negroes, 6 whites, and 1 Indian.

(Pacific Coast News Bureau)—"When the civilization of the South gets through with the black man it improvises him of practically every grace with which God endowed him. Men in the South are not addressed as 'mister' nor women as 'mistress' or 'miss' and white men do not tip their hats to Negro women. As a black man, no one can expect that I can feel good toward anyone who insults the womanhood of my race," said Dr. Lorenze H. King, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans, La., recently before 1500 women at the recent women's session of the Methodist Men's Council held at the First Baptist Church (white). Southern Women Resents Remarks Dr. King's remarks met with flurries of applause. When the large audience disbanded, discussion seemed to center upon what he had said. One Southern woman was heard to say, "I could not approve of Dr. King's remarks. I come from the South." ```markdown ``` TWO REV. NORMAN BURIED FROM METROPOLITAN (Continued from page 1) He attended Shaw University and in 1898 received the degree of bachelor of arts from that school. He became a member of the faculty of the school of religion of Shaw University. For five years he was the president of the Roanoke Theological Institute. After pastoring for a number of years in North Carolina, he assumed the pastorate of Portsmouth, Va., where he served from 1901 to 1905. In 1905 he came to Washington and assumed the pastorate of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, which he held continuously to his death. Reverend Norman also served as the moderator of the Mt. Bethel Baptist Association and was a member of the board of education of the National Baptist Convention. He was the president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity at the time of his death. Several honorary degrees had been conferred upon him. His alma mater, Shaw University, conferred the degree of master of arts. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred by Virginia Theological Seminary. Reverend Norman is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ethel Fitzhugh Norman; a brother, Rev. William Norman; a sister, Mrs. Katie Baker, and a niece, Mrs. Leonora Ruffin Hines. aunt of the bride, and Miss Almer. A steady stream of persons moved in and out of the Metropolitan Baptist Church while the body of Rev. Norman lay in state, from 5 o'clock Thursday evening until 10 o'clock Friday morning. All through the cold and wind of the night, men and women formed a continuously moving line pass his bier. At 10 o'clock Friday morning, the crowd, which in a very short while grew to large proportions, began gathering for the funeral services. Within an hour, there was no standing room available, in the church. Police officers were kept busy holding the crowd in check on the outside—seeking admission. From 11 o'clock until sunday, old women, some of them scarcely able to hobble along, women with babes in their arms, men, who evidently had laid down the tools of labor for the day, stood out in the piercing cold in front of the church waiting to get a last glimpse of the coffin containing their beloved pastor. Inside the church was a different scene. Instead of the shivering and chattering of the outside there were over two thousand people tensely listening to the eulogies of their former pastor. The bier of Rev. Norman was towered over by numerous floral offerings, many of them in unique designs—a chair, anchors, sprays, gates ajar, crosses, crowns, clocks, broken wheels, wreaths, a heart, and many other designs. A funeral procession of a score of cars followed the body to the cemetery. The arrangements were handled by L. E. Murray and Sons, undertakers, 12th and V. Streets, Northwest. KELLY MILLER'S REMARKS DRAW SHARP REPLY (Continued from page 1) of taking in the higher education, but whether they are capable of making the proper application of that education to the social uplift of their kind." In criticism of the present generation Dean Miller said: "We are now substituting the flapper for the Madonna, Valentino for Charles W. Eliot, the sheik for Sir Galahad, and the jazz and the 'blues' for classic culture." The leadership of the Negro race has been alien, Dean Miller asserted. "The white race," he said, "has furnished leaders for us. No man of one group can ever furnish leadership to people of another group unless he is willing to become naturalized into the group he seeks to lead." The problem of leadership, he added, is one that devolves upon the college-bred Negro of the second generation. Dean Miller expressed the belief that it would be well if all philanthropy should be withdrawn and the Negro left to support and maintain his own institutions. He proposed a joint meeting of all fraternities four years hence in an effort to harness these forces to some "concrete, dynamic task." Dean Miller belittled the suggestion made by T. Gillis Nutter, of Charleston, W. Va. that the Negro should amass wealth and acquire economic independence. He declared that the getting of wealth would not solve the problem. Dean Miller urged reliance upon a religious force akin to that which made the slave sane. "You Can Have All the World, But Give Me Jesus." "The young Negro college man said, Dean Miller, "is the most backward and the most inefficient in all the world. The young American Negro is practically asleep, and I call upon you to awake to this high calling to which you are called." The laurel wreath, emblematic of the highest achievement in some line of endeavor by members of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, was presented to A. A. Alexander, a civil engineer, of Des Moines, Iowa, and to T. Gillis Nutter, a lawyer of Charleston, W. Va. The speech of presentation was made by the Rev. R. L. Bradby, of Detroit, Mich. A welcome address was delivered by James E. Scott, polemarch of the local alumni chapter, which is entertaining the sixteenth annual grand chapter meeting of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Invocation was offered by Major Oscar J. W. Scott. The sixteenth annual session opened Sunday with a sermon by Major Oscar J. W. Scott at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church. In the afternoon delegates were taken on a sight-seeing tour. Sunday evening there was a reception at the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R Street, Northwest. At noon Monday delegates and members of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity visited the White House and were presented to the President. He posed with them for a photograph.

ELMER SNOWDEN DENIES COERCION In the letter to The Washington Tribune, Elmer C. Snowden, well known musician who formerly lived here, denies that the brothers of Gertie Wells, his former wife, influenced him in bringing action in Baltimore courts against he for bigamy. Mr. Snowden's letter is as follows: December 16-26 New York City. The Washington Tribune, Knowing that your paper aims to publish the truth and nothing but the truth, I notice that there has been a mistake in your last issue concerning my case. I wish to state that Miss Wells' brothers had nothing to do with the case and I did not write any such letter to Baltimore about the brothers. On my last visit to Washington, Mr. Alphonso Wells, the older brother, begged me not to prosecute the case. I had the case dropped for the sake of my daughter, Christine Snowden.

EX-TENTH CAVALRY SOLDIER HELD FOR RAN- SOM IN MEXICO; ESCAPES EX-TENTH CAVALRY SOLDIER HELD FOR RAN- SOM IN MEXICO; ESCAPES TUCSON, Ariz., (Pacific Coast News, Bureau)—Henry W. Williams, 38, soldier of fortune, wanderer of Arizona's wasteland and familiar figure on the international border line, is alive and in Tucson with friends and relatives today after a miraculous escape from Mexican federal soldiers at El Tarra, Sonora, Mexico, 168 miles from here. Tarra after being held for $50 ransom for four weeks and of his subsequent flight across the Mexican desert, clad only in night clothes, has been related to newspaper men here. According to his story, he was taken into custody by Mexican federal soldiers for hunting without a license or permit near the "Tres de Hermano Island" (Island of the Three Brothers) in the State of Sonora, Mexico. Held in Prison Four Weeks For four weeks, Williams said, he was imprisoned in the Mexican garrison, each night making his bed on a bare croker sack, unprotected from the rain which poured upon him during his month's in- carceration. The sum of $50, he said, was asked for his release. Unable to get in touch with friends in Arizona, Williams could not produce the sum. He was held in the Mexican garrison until he became ill with influenza as a result of exposure. He made his escape, he said, from a Mexican hospital, where he was taken upon his illness, by cutting the screen from a window in his ward, jumping two stories to the ground, and then running away in his night clothes. Familiar with the country in every respect as a former member of the Tenth Calvary and later as an extensive traveler in the Southwest, Williams made his way to a ranch near Naco, a border town, where he was given food and clothing. He walked into Naco from the ranch, and from there obtained a ride to Tucson on a motor truck. He said he had to stop several times during his trek across the desert and hide himself in mitequite bushes, and there rest for periods of ten to fifteen minutes in order to gain enough strength to continue to the American side. BARRY FARMS The pastors of the various churches in the suburb are as follows: Campbell A.M.E. Church, Rev. Charles H. Wesley; Bethlehem Bantist Church; Rev. J. C. Banks; St John's C.M.E. Church, Rev.

Moxley, of 1886 Morris Road, was celebrated on Saturday, Christmas night. Many friends of the happy couple from all parts of the city were present to congratulate the couple.

Mrs. Martin will remain here during the holidays and will then go to Philadelphia, to visit her other son. In reviewing the achievements of the Barry Farms Citizens Association, Elzie S. Hoffman, president, stated that the association was closing one of its most effective years of work. One of the most outstanding achievements according to Mr. Hoffman was the acquiring of the old Eureka Park site. This site was purchased by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission through the efforts of the association. The art exhibit held during September was also a notable event. This was in charge of Mrs. Florence Matthews. Mrs. Henryy Braxton is secretary of the association. RENOVATIONS AND SMALL SECOND TRUSTS.

Before a crowd of two or three hundred people Armstrong was completely out-classed. Captain Landers, Cross and Staples were the outstanding players on Dunbar, while Captain Coe was ever busy for the losers. Horse Williams, the Dunbar coach, has very little to say concerning the game, but promises the public and Dunbar a five worthy of recognition in its class. Dunbar night school desires games.

Yellowjackets are to meet the Armstrong Tech "5" Thursday, January 6, on the Armstrong floor. This will be Armstrong's second game of the 1927 season as the Alumni is encountered on Monday, January 3. This game, the first of all the Yellowjacket-Tech annual series, is expected to be a fast one due to the anxiety on the part of both teams to down one another. Last year Community lost the series, when Armstrong won over them 21-20, at Armstrong and 36-35 at the Y.M.C.A., in two of the 1926 season's fastest games. This year, however, the Orange and Black laws' predict a different story. Thursday will tell. ROGAN SINGLES IN ELEVENTH INNING, GIANTS WIN LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 29—(Pacific Coast News Bureau)—The Royal Giants are off to a good start for the second half of the Winter League Pennant race, having won the first game of the schedule in eleven innings, score from the Pirron All-Stars. The game played Sunday was the only one of the week, the Giants being rained out on Saturday. Harney pitched nine full innings and Rogan went in to bat for him in the ninth with the score tied and the game went into the eleventh innings. Rogan came to bat with the bases full and singled the winning run across. Stearns hit a timely run.

St. Paul School's girls" basketball team opened its season, as well as made its debut, with a decisive 15-8 victory over the Washington High School (of Reidville, N.C.) co-ed quintet here this afternoon. The Orange and Black girls scored opportunely and at half-time were leading, 7 to 4. The agresiveness, alertness, dog THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1926 SAMUEL H. LACY. Sports Editor POPULAR BASKETEER BASKETBALL BENNY HILL Richard ("Benny") Hill, Carlisle mainstay. Though small and usually out-weighed by opposing guards, little Benny is one of the city's outstanding forwards, and has been for sometime. Weighing slightly over one hundred thirty-odd pounds, the Blue and White forward in the past six or seven years has scarcely entered a game that he did not give a good account of himself. Though aging, like Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson and other old masters little Benny carries on, and only little over a week ago he almost single-handed defeated the Delta Big "5." Fast, shifty, and a dead shot Hill, beyond reasonable doubt, is a dangerous performer. Three valuable prizes to be awarded winners will be announced later. BASEBALL POW WOW TO BE HELD AT DETROIT IN JANUARY BASEBALL POW WOW TO BE HELD AT DETROIT IN JANUARY Shortly after the holidays the baseball moguls of the East and West will he themselves to Detroit, where they will indulge in a three-day session with the Negro National League playing host to their Eastern rivals. Both leagues will hold a separate meeting the first day when officers will be elected and the remaining two days will be spent in the joint-session. With the incapacitation of Rube Foster, the Western league elevated Dr. Bernard G. Keys, of St. Louis, to its head and he will most likely be a candidate to retain the berth. Whether the part owner of the St. Louis Stars will have the field to himself will develop at the conclave. For the East, Ed. Bolden favored to lead the seaboard circuit for another year. The East will be represented with six clubs: Harrisburg Giants by Colonel Strothers; Bachsach Giants by Hammond Daniels; Baltimore Black Sox by George Rossiter; Cuban Stars by Alexandre Pompez; Brooklyn Royal Giants by Nat. Strong and Hilldale by Ed. Bolden. Cumberland Posey, mentor of the Homestead Grays is also expected to attend the gathering and talk "shop." Resignation of Lincoln Giants Declaring that the Eastern Colored League held no charm for him, Jim Keenan, the boss of the Lincoln Giants, withdrew his entry and in a sense will be the lone wolf of the Bronx. The other commissioners failed to see matters in the same light as did the Lincoln's owner and voted to stick to the organization. Just what effort this breach will have upon the player situation remains to be seen, but it is generally understood that a "gentleman's agreement" will be recognized between the Lincoln and the Eastern League Clubs. By the Lincolnns dropping out, it has pared the field to six clubs and the commissioners have voted to continue as a six-club league. The Baltimore Black Sox were reported on the market for sale and while George Rossiter is yet in the market for a suitable offer, his investment at Maryland Park virtually insures the Baltimore team being in the fold. The aggressiveness, alertness, dog-of-St. Paul featured. There were a galaxy of stars in this afternoon's performance, but Misses Bailey, Franklin and Johnson were St. Paul's outstanding players, while Misses Graves and Gunn bore the brunt of battle and shone brilliantly for Washington High School. ARROW "5" DOWNED BY COMMUNITY White Team Unable to Solve Orange and Black Defense The first game of the colored and white double-header last Thursday night, went to the dusky lads who call themselves the Community Yellowjackets and lay justifiable claim to the Colored Amateur Championship of the District. This affair with the Arrows was expected to afford a real test for the colored boys, but proved to be nothing short of a 32-8 rout. For some time Washington fandom has longed to see this team meet an opponent worthy of making them hustle, and so with the highly touted "Fay" team matched a real battle was anticipated. Long before 8:30 the sidelines were filled with full-fledged rooters and when hostilities began every eve was on the court. Both teams were slow getting started, the score remaining Community 2; Arrows 1, for some time. Soon after the second quarter began the teams were found tiel at 7 all, to which for the remainder of the game the white lads were able to add only one point, the first half ending 12-7. Returning after the rest period the Yellowjackets uncovered a whirlwind offense and impenetrable defense. Through the 20 minutes of playing time the white Arrows were unable to score a single field goal and only one foul, so close was the Community guarding. As is usually the case in the Yellowjacket play, there was no outstanding star. Their fast and consistent team work which has put them on top of the amateur class was always evident, and at no time was there the slightest resemblance of intentional roughness. It is this method of unblemished sportsmanship that has gained for these boys any number of friends and admirers. The Arrow "5" is one of the leading white senior teams, having conquered the Katzman Collegians in the preliminary to the Palace-Celtic engagement last Sunday. The Collegians were trounced 31-20 by the lads who last Thursday night succumbed to the fearful sting of the Yellowjackets. In arranging this game "Judge" Smith, Alco coach told the Community lads, "you've cried for competition, now I've gotten you something red-hot, let's see how you'll handle it." The Yellowjackets in answering said, "Handled it pretty nicely, eh Judge?"

League leadership, swamped the Shiloh A.C., last Friday night on the "Y" Court, 25-19. The game was not even as close as the score indicates. "Ches" Anderson's Blue and White Machine seems unable to find itself. The church boys have a strong line-up once they get going, and it has been surprising how easily Miner Normal, and the Scholastics have downed them. With the return of "Bluff" Fisher and with Coach Anderson now participating the class of basketball should more than make up for the team's loss of "Jimmy" Lee, now with the Community Team, Shiloh, however, is expected to emerge from this rut at any time and when she does—look out, you Senior teams. Carter, with five field goals led the scoring, while White, his teammate and co-forward, was a close second with four baskets. PALMER (SCRAPPY) WHITTED IS SORRY On being approached by the Tribune Sports Editor immediately after the Kappa-Omega game, Monday, "Scrapy" Whitted, Alco basketeer, was requested to make a statement in his own defense concerning his disgraceful action in striking at Referee "Mouse" Johnson last Thursday night in the Alco-Yankee game, at the Colonnade. Whitted said, "I lost my head, Sam, and shouldn't have done it. Just say, "I'm sorry." YANKEES WIN OVER CHAMPS SWEENEY'S FIELD GOAL WITH 30 SECONDS TO PLAY WINS FOR WHITE With only 30 seconds of game time remaining Joe Sweeney, Yankee forward, slipped through the Alco defense and caged the deciding fiel goal in the Alco-Yankee struggle which the latter won 23-21 last Thursday夜事 as nearly five hundred cash customers crowded the Colonnade. The game, a bitterly contested affair, went to the white lads after they had trailed throughout. Only on two occasions, at the outset, and at the finish did the Yankees lead, and incidently it was the same Joe Sweeney who finally won the game that put his team in front at the start. After 3 minutes of play, Sweeney broke through and scored a field goal for the game's first count. This lead, however, was soon obliterated as Whitted caged a neat over-hand shot to tie. Immediately following this his pass to Suter under the basket netted the Purple and White another score. A little later by virtue of Whitted's dribble around shot, followed in quick succession by "Soup" Turner's long looper, the colored champs found themselves on the long end of an 8-2 count. Here the pale-faces called time out. On resumption of play Sweeney was fouled and made good. Harris' field goal was duplicated by McDonald's for the Yankees just before the whistle blew to end the half. Coming back after intermission, on the long end of a 10-5 score Turner's long pass to Suter brought the Alcee lead to 7 points, Sweeney, however, still in the running proceeded to hole a double-decker, thereby bringing the Yankee total to 7 points. From this point action speeded up, and Suter made good the foul shot he was awarded as a result of Sauber's holding. On the next tap-off, Sweeney received the signalled pass and was fouled by Turner as he was about to shoot. Both tries were made and when McDonald scored a double-decker from mid-floor pandemonium broke loose. The crowd was on its feet, now fully tuned up to the waging battle. Excitement was uncontrollable, enthusiasm pitched sky-high. Just the time for the always colorful "Soup" Turner to pull his favorite stunt. Taking a shot off the Yankee backboard, the former Tech star dribbed the entire length of the court to loop the most spectacular basket of the pastime. Then it was that there happened the outstanding feature to mar the otherwise perfect performance. It was at this moment that the blotch was smeared on a heretofore clear, encounter, the evidence was presented to justify Rep. Blanton's recent statement that "the Negro oppresses himself more than he is otherwise oppressed." "Scrappy" Whitted, Howard football player, and one of the Kappa Alpha Psi Four Horsemen fouled (yes he fouled) Mitchell, but when Referee "Mouse" Johnson called it, the Alco objected. Again Whitted clearly fouled Mitchell, and when Johnson called this offense the player—known as "Scrappy"—attempted to assault the official. Only through the strenuous efforts of Graves and Harris was possible bodily harm avoided. Subsequently banished from further participation Whitted left the floor amid a volley of boos. Soon after play was resumed Suter scored a field goal and Harris a foul. McDonald and Sauber, however, found the cards to bring the white lads once again to within 2 points of the champions. Turner, soon after this, fouled McDonald whose dead eye tied the score. Gray, however, again sent the Purple and White ahead with a long looper from past center. Harris' foul goal brought the Alco total to 21 points where it staved for the rest of the game. McDonald took the ball from tapoff and caged a difficult "double-decker, bringing the score to 21-20 with the dusky lads still ahead. Here, Captain Turner, than whom there is no better floor player in Washington, pulled the prize bone of the evening. Failing to instruct a freeze-out for the remaining minute and a half, "Soup" and the Alcoes tried to score. Missing the shot for the basket, instead of going back to his guard position the Alco captain decided to give Mitchell, who had gained possession of the backboard rebound, a parting shove. The free throw resulted in a tie score. With 30 seconds left to play, a pass, McDonald to Mitchell, to McDonald to Sauber, to Sweeney under the basket netted the final count and 2-point margin of victory. FOUR HORSEMEN ON TOP AFTER SCORE IS TIED FIVE TIMES By Sam Lacy Spears' Foul and Field Goals, Margin of Difference in Season's Hardest Fought Game Barring neither color, creed nor station, every walk of life was represented at the Colonnade, Monday when the famous. Four Horsemen won the initial blood- game of the annual fraternity league series. The opening Kappa- Omega tilt was played before a capacity crowd and resulted in a 22-19 victory for the former. It was the fact that Kappa was able to substitute—without greatly weakening her team—and thus give her stars a needed rest that proved the Omega undoing. Spears, winded, was replaced by Woods when with 10 minutes to play Omega led 15-12. Six minutes later with Omega leading 19-17, Spears, then fresh, returned and won the game. The first half was thrilling enough, but not nearly as much as the second. From the beginning the battle was hotly contested though no outstanding team play was evident. Other than that the Four Horsemen were able to call on stronger reserves there can be no better description of the small margin of difference. Always a fight, never a walkover, the first 20 minutes ended, Kappa 11, Omega 10. Opening the second half Goff was fouled and missed the attempt. Soon afterward, Spears was fouled and when he caged one of his 2 tries the Horsemen held a 2-point advantage. This, however, did not last long as Campbell immediately took the tap from Terrell and tied the score on a shot from in front of the scorer's table at mid-court. A few seconds later—things were happening so fast they must be described in seconds—Coates on his way to a set-up shot was fouled by "Rap" Wheatley. Morgan College star, playing guard for his Kappa brothers. Coates made one of his two tries good and not long after, caged a spectacular follow through of a wild shot to put his team 3 points ahead. Here Coach Westmoreland rushed Archie Berry in for Mickey, and action speeded up to the extent that Spear's Red and White mainstay, found himself completely exhausted. Calling for time out he left the game in favor of Woods. With Kappa on the short end of a 15-12 count, "Scrappy" Whitted, a Horseman, though fouled by Campbell looped a run up shot and then caged 1 of the 2 free throws allowed, thereby tying the score. Fifteen-all and 7 minutes to play. A pass, Mickey to Berry to Coates with Coates shooting from a difficult angle placed the Gold and Purple 2 points ahead. Seven minutes to play Goff fouled Simpson, who was allowed 2 shots and a chance to place his team on even terms. Simpson missed one, Simpson missed both. Five minutes to play Woods snatched the ball from a rough scrimmage and caged a spectacular double-decker over Lee's head. Four minutes to play, and the score 17-17. Goff's one-hand shot going away from his basket sent Omega hopes skyward. Three and a half minutes to play, Spears replaced Woods, and Hill substituted for Terrell in the Horseman line-up. Three minutes to play, Simpson took Spears' quick tap-off from center and again tied the score. Two minutes to go, score Omega 19. Kappa 19. Goff fouled Spears who made the free try good and broke the game's fifth tie score. One minute to go, Spears followed Simpson's shot and tapped the ball in for 2 more points and a 22 to 19 lead for Kappa. Berry fumbled his own dribble with no one near him as the final whisblew, and ended a game that has not been equalled in the sense of speed, thrills, and closeness in years on a Washington court.

ORIENTAL GARDEN CLUB 9th and R Sts., N.W. 2000 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE—JAN. 1-FEB. 3-MONTH MEMBERSHIP CARDS—$1.00. (Good Every Night Except Holidays) "The January issue of the Bulletin of Upsola College was suppressed and confiscated by Dean Frans Ericsson," according to a statement in the Evening Star of December 25. The paper containing a frank and detailed criticism of Upsola's football season was edited and prepared by the alumni. The coaching system was attacked and frank criticism was voiced in the publication, according to the college publicity department. This article may not have attracted the least bit of attention from the ordinary sports page reader, but to others who are continually watching for such news, the message may have contained no end of interest. This column, strange as it may seem, become especially enthusiastic over the small item, and it has fallen my lot to explain the consolation I, personally, have experienced. In the middle of September when nearly every college, small or large, was calling out its football candidates, there appeared on the Upsola campus a small bushy-headed colored boy. Possessing an exceptional amount of football knowledge and ambition, the little brown-haired urchin elected to try for the quarterback position. So much superior was he to the other aspirants that there was nothing for "the man-in-charge" to do but place him. You will notice here that I have reference to "the man-in-charge," and I call him thus because there can be no better definition had for the Upsola coach. A genuine, full-blooded coach assumes complete charge of his team, and any dictation as to "who shall be what" is made by him. This, un fortunately is what the Upsola man-in-charge did not do. "Pinky" Clarke, Morgan College quarterback (than whom there are few better in the East), was the victim of this unfortunate circumstance that I am narrating His remarkable progress and his showing was so promising that inside of a fortnight he was placed at the helm of the Upsola first team. Jealousy, than which we can find no greater consoling compensation for achievement, sprang up. The white boys were thoroughly convinced that unless the "darky" was eliminated from their field of competition, they would necessarily have to admit his superiority—not only a complex but a complication. Approaching the man-in-charge these whites informed him that without the immediate removal of the Negro, they would be very uncomfortable. Hence Clarke was told that he should have to turn in his uniform and give up hopes of making the Upsola grade. Dispirited, the youngster left East Orange and returned to Morgan, fearful lest he should be too late to gain admittance to that institution. Fortunately he was not, and with the absence of hostile coach and teammates, Clarke soon forgot his discouraging experience. Patience, gentle readers, for though you may still be in a quandary concerning the purport and intent of this writing, I have finally reached my chance for explanation. Since the middle of September then this column has quietly harbored dissatisfaction with the man-in-charge methods at the East Orange institution, and now that the alumni has taken advantage of the privilege of publishing a similar dissatisfaction, this writer and his column rejoice. 5,000 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE—JAN. 1-FEB. 1 3-MONTH MEMBERSHIP CARDS—$1.00 (Good Every Night Except Holidays) SPECIAL FEATURES Carnival Night Every MONDAY Ladies' Night Every WEDNESDAY Special Breakfast (after Midnight Show) Every Friday District of Columbia College of Osteopathy 1826 9th St., N.W., Washington, D.C.

NEGRO BUYS HOME NEXT TO McADOO By George Perry LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Exclusive for the Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Without publicity for any show of ostentation, a colored man and his wife from Texas arrived in Los Angeles recently and startled the local financial circles by calmly paying $30,000 cash for the finest piece of residential property owned and occupied by a black American west of Chicago. A Neighbor of McAdoo With 80,000 white property owners of Los Angeles carrying on a bitter secret propaganda movement to keep their district white, R. L. Andrews, a retired grocery-man of Houston, Texas, quietly became domiciled as a resident of the fashionable West Adams district and a neighbor of William Gibbs McAdoo, Hal Roach and other wealthy world-known personages. Located on the corner of Gramery Place and Twenty-fifth St., the Andrews' residence is a stately home of 10 rooms finely furnished. Finished in stucco, the residence is located on a high tract of land, 138 feet by 150 feet, surrounded by spacious lawns, fine shrubbery and flowers, many of which are being put out by Mr. Andrews himself at an additional cost of $5,000. Buys in Fifteen Minutes Coming to Los Angeles recently from Houston, Tex., where he had sold his fine residence there, Mr. Andrews, after some investigators of local conditions bought his present home just fifteen minutes after being shown the property by Mr. Aubrey Gittens, the colored real estate dealer who in association with a white agent, handled the deal. Intends to Stay Mr. Andrews, who at sixty-two years of age is as hale and hearty as an oak of that age, purchased the property for a home site and not as an investment, with the intention of eventually bringing his son and family of seven children from Houston to Los Angeles. From all indications, Mr. Andrews, who lives in his new home alone with his wife, is well able to take care of any contingency that may arise. Being of a reserved and refined disposition he is an ideal Black American to offer in rebuttal as to the "direful effects on the environment when a Negro moves in." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1926 PUT OUT BY HUSBAND; SEEKS DIVORCE PUT OUT BY HUSBAND; SEEKS DIVORCE Through Attorney Thomas G. Beckett, Mrs. Della Grimm, 2220 G Street, Northwest, fitted suit Tuesday against her husband Samuel Winfield Grimm, for a limited divorce. Mrs. Grimm charges her husband with cruelty and desertion. She says she lived with him until the latter part of November when he ordered her to take her things and get out of their home, threatening to kick her out if she refused to obey his orders. Mr. Grimm is a carpenter and earns about $50 a week, says Mrs. Grimm. They were married in Baltimore, Md., October 25, 1920. Mrs. Grimm asks the court to award her temporary alimony. DIVORCE ASKED FOR Mrs. Ruth Price Oliver, 1829 California Street, Northwest, filed suit Tuesday in the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce from her husband, George B. Oliver, an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 1725 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest. The couple was married February 16, 1926, by the Reverend William D. Jarvis. They have one child, Vivian Jean Oliver, 2 months old. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Oliver says that she and her husband lived happily together for a period of two months when he began to fail to provide food for her and their child. On December 13, she charges, her husband assaulted her without any provocation and she was forced to seek police protection. Since then she has been living with relatives. Mr. Oliver is employed as a skilled laborer in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, says Mrs. Oliver, and works in the evening as an usher at the Howard Theater. His Government salary is only $75 a month, she states. Mrs. Oliver asks the court for a limited divorce, alimony and custody of their minor child. She is represented by Attorney Charles E. Robinson.

We are convinced that by spending money for overhauling, etc., an automobile, its efficiency and life are increased, yet we won't be convinced that the same holds good regarding our human machines. Colored people should practice prevention to a greater degree than the other race, because being a poor race they are more dependent on the production of their body machines. Income ceases when sickness comes. With no income, no money saved, small insurance, the machines are forced to go back to work before they are fit. It is just a matter of time before they break down again. Once a month the ministers of all denominations should preach sermons on "Systematic Saving and its Relation to Health and Happiness." They would perform a great public service. Our people do not get the proper care when sick as a general rule. This I consider as the second cause of our high death rate. The treatment of the sick is a business which at the present time is the result of many years of scientific investigation. The practice of medicine is very different from that practised years ago. With a greater knowledge of the functions of the various organs of the body, their dependence on each other; with a knowledge of the action of germs, toxins, and antitoxins, new methods of examination have been perfected, and new methods of treatment adopted. It is foolish after considering these facts for a patient to expect a doctor to tell what's wrong with him after feeling his pulse, or talking with him a few minutes. It is an impossibility in the majority of cases. Our human machines are too complicated for that hit or miss procedure. Self treatment is a big factor in causing many deaths. A physician is consulted after the home folks, the neighbors and the drug-gist have failed, and valuable time lost. Cases of heart disease, pneumonia, tuberculosis have been treated as colds; enlarged prostate, diabetes, kidney disease, as bladder trouble. A mother treated a case of pneumonia for days before calling a physician. I could quote a LINCOLN MAT.NEES DAILY—2 P.M. ADMISSION, MAT.

Day Only— hundred cases of serious illnesses that had been treated by patent medicines and home remedies for a long time before I was consulted. Of course the sick patient is the loser. As I said before, the treatment of the sick is a business and should be mastered by the physician. There is no excuse for a doctor to practice ancient methods in these modern days of good medical schools, hospitals and postgraduate courses. But there is also the business of getting well that must be mastered by the patient. Wanting or wishing for health must be augmented by working for health in a systematic and sensible way. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Consult a physician as early as possible. Even a physician can't diagnose his own case or treat himself. 2. See that you get a thorough physical examination. If you don't, ask for it. A diagnosis must be made before proper treatment can be instituted. The urine, the blood, blood pressure, etc., give important data and should be examined. Special examinations may be necessary; the stomach contents, private female examinations, X-ray pictures, etc. 3. Follow out the treatment prescribed by the physician. In an ordinary case, e.g., heart disease, besides medicine there will be advice regarding the mode of living, amount of work done, hours of rest, etc. Most persons think the medicine is the most important part of this treatment. That's a mistake. Here the motor of the body is crippled, it can't do its usual amount of work. The patient must understand this and curtail his activities accordingly. It takes money and time for good examinations, but you are fooling yourselves if you think you are obtaining good medical, care without them. It is surprising how patients will complain to me that they are not improving, and at the same time refuse to have necessary examinations made so that I could find out what disease to treat. Lack of co-operation between physician and patient is a serious condition. Many persons think ALN THEATRE U Street, N.W. Sundays—3 P.M.

I have had cases of syphilis or blood trouble, who refuse to take injections with the needle; four cases of diabetes died lately because they refused to take the new treatment—insulin. Three cases of high blood pressure with kidney disease, died suddenly. I had entreated them to limit their work and take treatments, but they didn't heed my warnings. Examples could be multiplied a hundred fold. Every physician has the same experience. These patients desired to get better, they desired to live but they couldn't be made to understand that a machine in a wrecked condition must be cared for differently and that less service must be expected from it. When our colored people consult a physician early; when they are satisfied to pay for as thorough an examination as may be necessary to make a diagnosis; when they co-operate with the physician taking the best treatments as laid down for the disease found—even though they may be more expensive, and not modifying them to suit their whims; when they pay their medical bills as they do the bills for other necessary services, then and not until then will so many unnecessary deaths cease to occur. —Adv.

Liberal Progressive Independent The year 1926 has not been notable in events having relation to the life of the Negro in either the world or in the United States. In South Africa the movement, to keep the natives in a position of permanent subjection and subordination, now several years old, seems to have assumed increased momentum. Even in Cape Colony where the natives have the suffrage, there seems to be a growing sentiment among the whites to go backward, and to undo the work of enfranchisement. Natives are not voters in the Union of South Africa, which is a form of federation of the political entities of the southern part of the continent. American Negroes are not permitted to enter South Africa, for the expressed reason that they may "put mischief into the heads of the natives." The African Methodist Church is carrying on religious work there under the most discouraging handicaps, and under restrictions which are amazing in a civilization which professes the leadership of Jesus Christ. Just as in the United States, the native question ("natives" referring to the blacks) has been the subject of magazine articles, books and novels. One of these books, a novel, entitled "God's Stepchildren," has been published in the United States, and has been widely read and commented upon here, though it seems to have escaped the attention of the dilettante of the race. The treatment is rather profound, and there is an utter absence from it of the debaucery, animalism, sex appeal and sensuality which characterize a book like Carl Van Vetchen's "Nigger Heaven." "God's Stepchildren" is a treatment of the question of the mixing of the bloods of the white and black races in South Africa. The book is a real work of literary art both as to structure and content. There is no preaching, no advocacy, no denunciation, no expression of approval or of disapproval with a view to directing public opinion either for or against the practice of intermarriage. In Hayti the control of the United States remains firm and apparently fixed. The President of Hayti made a visit to the United States during the year and was accorded the formal and conventional ritualistic practice. It may be stated without exaggeration that the present government of Hayti is absolute and autocratic, and that there is now no sign that an election of deputies and senators (as provided in the constitution of Hayti written by Franklin Roosevelt) will be held at any time in the near future. Further, there is no indication that the United States will withdrawn from the republic, and permit its inhabitants to govern themselves according to their own ideals and conceptions. In Liberia the Firestone people have been granted a concession of one million acres of land, for ninety-nine years, for rubber production. The Tribune commented last week on the probable result of this concession, expressing the opinion that, judging from the general trend of things, free government would be a thing of the past in that republic in a comparatively few years. During the year, England and Italy have been looking with humful eyes upon Abyssinia, and have been considering the apportionment between each of "siberias of influence" in that A. Washington Tribune Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BUREAU PUBLISHING COMPANY country. This expression has a pleasant sound, but it conceals a mailed fist. Theodore Roosevelt said, "Speak gently, but carry the big stick." That is the standard method of the great powers in dealing with the "lesser breeds." This is a hasty view of the international situation as it relates to peoples of African residence and descent. At home, things are in no respect different from what they were a year ago. Lynching is resorted to whenever it is believed that that is the proper method to teach Negroes "their place" in the social scheme of things. The lyncher is still regardful of neither age nor sex when he deems it necessary to assert the superiority of the white race; and white public opinion, while spasmodically deploring the practice, is yet finding some justification for it. The Negro is as much the victim of the partisan complex as a year ago. While here and there small groups of Negroes have become disillusioned as to the attitude of political parties concerning their rights as men and members of human society, the great mass of the black people still talk Lincoln and Grant, and show few or no signs of understanding the real state of things as they exist in the twentieth century. However, that is only human, and the work of disillusionment must continue without abatement of zeal or purpose. The past year has served to emphasize segregation of racial groups as having grown to the dimensions of a national policy. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the residential segregation case which came before it from this jurisdiction, while it went off on a purely technical point, had the moral effect, at least, of strengthening the view that private persons may mutually covenant to prevent specified racial groups, for a definite period of time, from acquiring ownership and use of real property affected by such agreement. Segregation as a working arrangement is in full force and vigor in the government departments here in Washington. As instances could be indefinitely multiplied under this head, it remains only to observe that the Negroes themselves have about reached the stage of passive acquiescence in this practice. The future is before us; we have minds; we have something of will, and we still have strong arms. Other races with these resources alone have made places in the world for themselves. We have made considerable progress in acquiring the elements of learning; we have even acquired some real education. We are possessed of considerable property; we have made no inconsiderable progress in business. Our schools are going on and up, and if our churches are not going upward, they are going onward. The Negro press is growing more independent and less partisan. Taking things as they go in human affairs, the outlook is decidedly encouraging. The processes of time are slow, and after all, most questions wait upon these processes. As a motto for the year this is suggested: "More efficiency in all lines; better service where the public is concerned; a more general determination on the part of the masses to uphold and support businesses and enterprises owned and controlled by Negroes." With these principles in mind and acted upon, the year 1927 will be a beacon in the history of the race. 2105 12th St., N.W. 1926-1927 AS WE SEE IT IN THE MUSIC WORLD (By Wellington A. Adams) Washington has experienced a real musical year during the past twelve months of 1926. Some things were very good, some good and others tolerably good. There were some inexeusable failures, however, that we are unable to fathom, but the light still holds out to burn possibly much brighter in the coming twelve months of 1927. We still believe, however, that local musicians and music lovers are lax in their support towards musical enterprises of merit. Take the musical programs offered some time since by three well known race artists, Wesley L. Howard, Lillian Evanti, and Marian Anderson, appearing respectively at Armstrong High School, Belasco Theater and Metropolitan A.M.E. Church—all three concerts may be regarded as failures financially, but not artistically. Why should our colored music lovers allow such a thing to happen in a city like Washington? Varied excuses are offered but none seem quite plausible and it is highly possible that a change of absolute lethargy may be laid at our very door in the meager support given these worthy artists. During 1926 the Washington Federation of Choirs was organized and they seem to be functioning with regularity. They sang with credit to themselves last Fourth or July, and their work is one of the bright spots of the past year. The Mount Zion and Saint Paul choirs made effective appearances over the air with credit to themselves. The Coleridge Taylor Choral Society was re-organized through the efforts of Mrs. Amanda Gray Hillyer and others, electing J. T. Beacon, president, and Alfred H. Johnson as music director. The Community Centers Department, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, general secretary, inaugurated the 1926-27 Concert Series commencing last November at Armstrong High School, continuing through March 1927. Enters the year 1927. What are the possibilities? Are our citizens going to tender larger support to musical entertainments as may be offered from time to time? Here is just a brief list as a guide: January 18, at the Armstrong Auditorium, the Baltimore Glee Club and the Trouvers Trio of Philadelphia of whom Carl Diton, president of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., says, "Seriously, we are proud of the Trouvers Trio here in Philadelphia and would appreciate any outside encouragement it may get, because it represents, in a marked degree, the new pioneer movement in the development of the taste for Chamber music among our people." February 3, the Washington Civic Orchestra, Wesley I. Howard, director appears at John Wesley Zion Church. February 15, the Howard University Glee Club, Roy W. Tibbs, director and the Hawaiian Quintet and String Quartet, Walter T. Holt, director, at Armstrong. February 24, Mme. Ethel Hardy Smith, noted soprano soloist of Boston, will appear at John Wesley Zion Church on our South. March 22, Roy Wilfred Tibbs, piano soloist, at Armstrong. Miss Lulu V. Childers, director of music department, Howard Conservatory of 'Music, we learn, is planning to present a big musical program in the Spring as well as the Washington Federation of Choirs and the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society. Certainly this should be a musical feat year fi we judge aright. We must build up our musical prestige by giving a larger and more adequate hearing to these and other worthy musical offerings. Away with selfishness, personalities and the like and let us all learn to worship more whole-heartedly at the shrine of musical art during the year 1927. Meantime, we wish one and all "a Musical New Year." Reeder's School of Beauty Culture Reeder's School of Beauty Culture All Branches Taught Entire Course $50; or $2 a lesson 1764 Willard St. N.W.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1926 "NIGGER HEAVEN" Many have been the views of the reviewers of Carl Van Vechten's novel, "Nigger Heaven." No one has, it seems, coincided with the views of another. As the book circulates, still more views come to the front. An editorial in "American Medicine" for October, takes a view entirely new in so far as the other reviews are concerned. This editorial ranks "Nigger Heaven" along with Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The editorial as it appeared, is as follows: "Nigger Heaven."—Not since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has a greater service been performed for the Negroes of this country than Carl Van Vechten's new novel, "Nigger Heaven," dealing with life in Negro Harlem of today. This study of the tragedy of the black man, the less sentimental than Mrs. Stowe's work, is just as epoch-making and certainly more poignant. For most of us the problem of the Negro was over when President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Since then the Negro problem has been relegated to sentimental mamy songs and comedy types such as those created by Octavus Roy Cohen. But the story, in this instance the tragedy, of a liberated race of slaves, struggling toward culture and spiritual advancement, has never been told. A few days ago the newspapers reported the admission to the bar of a Negress. in Washington, the first of its kind in the country. Here and there men and women of color are emerging as standard bearers of their race, struggling valiantly against prejudice and, what is worse, indifference, toward places of power and importance. But these are the exceptions, and for each of these there are scores, even hundreds, of capable, educated, but sensitive Negroes who are defeated by the unequal struggle and, their spirits broken, are compelled to waste their lives at work which white tradition has assigned to them: as elevator boys, waiters, porters and other menial tasks. It is only in such positions that they are acceptable to the white population, and Nordic superiority resents their intrusion in more advanced stations. This Nordic resentment is the most serious factor with which the Negro, in his struggle toward culture, has to contend. And the story of the hero of "Nigger Heaven," a black youth with a gift for writing and a great ambition to attain glory, reveals the heart-breaking tragedy of the educated Negro who cannot rise above the plane assigned to him by those who dwell below 125th Street. Carl Van Vechten's novel is particularly significant because, while the Negro leaders themselves have enalmost exclusively busy in protecting the rights of the illiterate black man, this white author reveals that an appeal for justice to the cultured Negro is more likely to be heard by the whites.

Adams, as instructor, and as sponsor. "Everything to ings, would do well to ignore these episodes and turn their efforts toward creating a wider sympathy with the efforts of the educated Negro. After all, there is less tragedy in the hanging of a black man who has attacked a white girl than in the smothering of black talent before it has had an opportunity to become articulate. That, undoubtedly, is why there was so little sympathy aroused in favor of the colored Kentucky editors, who made an issue of the fact that a white youth found guilty of criminal attack had been declared insane, while a black youth guilty of the same offense had been executed. In both instance the offenders were individuals whose fates was of small consequences to civilization. An effort to create wider sympathy with the destiny of many young Harlem poets and artists, the first of their race to emerge into culture, would bring greater benefit to the race. "Nigger Heaven" points the way to Negro reformers. The scum of the race should be left to find their own bleak salvation, but the "mute, inglorious Milton" should be given the help and encouragement they so badly need. AFRICA NO PLACE FOR AMERICAN NEGRO AFRICA NO PLACE FOR AMERICAN NEGRO By Emma Lue Sayers LOS ANGELES, Calif.

I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. help, and nothing to hinder," is the slogan of the class. The organization has the support of Principal Houston and the faculty. The sophomores are to be entertained by the juniors, Wednesday afternoon, January 5. Later the class hopes to give a play. The officers are as follows: Horace Wilson, president; Walter Brockenborough, vice president; Hilda Johnson, secretary; Elmer Stokes, treasurer; Geraldine Thomas, publicity agent; Asterie Gonzalez, chairman of executive committee. BOY SCOUT NEWS The Dunbar swimming pool is closed during the holiday season, but will re-open, Thursday, January 6. All scouts are requested to be present in order to continue their training for the swimming meet. Officers and scout masters are requested to be present at the Y.M.C.A., on Friday the 14, at 7 o'clock sharp for a special meeting. New scouts are needed in the troops of the city. An effort will be made during the coming year to arouse more interest among Washington boys to get them interested in the Scout movement. There are many activities that boys like, such as swimming, hiking, camping, boxing, basketball, and regular Scout work. dramatized, told the correspondent at the Biltmore Hotel here recently. "The lines between the races are strictly drawn; there are no hotel or rooming house accommodations and while the natives would welcome them, their primitive customs would be unbearable to the American Negro. It would be slaughter to send them there." "Yes," she answered to my question, "every foot of ground in Africa is owned or claimed by some foreign country." As to the female domestic servants, there are none, according to Miss Simonton who is considered an authority on the African, "you always hear the foreign explorers refer to their 'boy' servants. The reason for this is because the morals of the white men are so low that the natives refuse to permit their women to work for them." "The Negroes of America are very loyal to their country; there are no traitors among them and they have no other home," explained Miss Simonton who is known among her intimate friends as "Africanus." "The Negro who has been fortune enough to leave Africa is done with the country forever." "Yes, I am bitterly opposed to mixed marriages for they always mean damnation for both parties concerned." "I believe in every educational and economic opportunity for the Negro; I have the highest and most sincere respect for them and believe there are no heights which cannot be obtained by them.
