MISS ANNIE MAY DUNS0N
CROWNED QUEEN-MISS MYR-
TIE BIDDIX DOES EXCELLENT
WORK ALSO.

One Of the most interesting rallies
of the season was held at the Mt.
Olive Baptist Church Sunday morn
ing when the Sunday school, under
the leadership of its efficient super
intendent raised more than $1,000
for the Indebtedness of the school.
The school had been divided into
two sections, one under the General
ship of Miss Annie Mae Dunson and
the other under the generalship of
Miss Mrytle Biddix. Both of these
young ladies had assistants. Mrs.
Minerva Bates helped Miss Dunson as
Lieutenant and Mrs. Zefiie Johns as
sisted Miss Biddix. Each side had
mascots and the individual classes to
which they belonged helped wonder
fully in the effort, which attested the
popularity Of the girls among their
own associates. Miss Josephine
Douglass was with Miss Dunson and
Miss Vivian Clark assisted Miss Bid
dix.
The school was called to order by
the Superintendent at $3.50 o'clock.
The singing was unusually good.
Prayer was offered, after which the
Lords Prayer was chanted by the
school, The Scripture lesson was
read and the roll called, after which
the teachers took charge of their
classes. At the conclusion of the
lesson hour an interesting program
was rendered by the school under
the supervision of Prof. Johnson,

table was in charge of Prof. L. S.
Gray, assisted by Mrs. Johns, Mrs.

Biddux shouted for her table.
At the conclusion of the contest it
developed that Miss Annie Hae Dun

ready, the result was as follows:
Miss Dunsop $6S.40; Miss Biddux,
$39.42. During the day the contri-

Miss Dunson and her assistants
were called to the front and in we'll
chosen words the superintendent pre-
sented her with bouquet of old
fashioned flowers and commended her
for her efforts as we'll as those of her
assistants. The picture of the school

MINISTER'S ASKED TO CO.
0PERATE-CLEAN-UP WEEK.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-In re-
sponse to numerous calls for sug-
gestions as to how National Negro
Health Week may be observed, the
following for the first day, Sunday,
April 21st-has been issued by the
Executive Committee of the National
Negro Business League, DR.. Robt r.
Motion, Chairman. Specific instruc~
tions for observing the other days of
Health Week have already been pub
lished in circular form and may be
secured by addressing Mr.. Emmett ].
Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute,
Alabama.
In order that the people may enter
heartily into the movement for better
health and to the end that the pro-
gram may be effectively carried out,
it is suggested that the ministers Of
all the colored churches throughout
the nation, set aside Third Sunday in
April-the 21st- as DAY OF
PRAYER for better health conditions
and that each minister agree to
preach on this day a special health
sermon to his congregation, and ar
range If possible for some physician
to deliver special health talk at
an afternoon or evening meeting.
In addition to this, each minister
is requested to arrange, whenever
possible, appropriate services which
shall include a discussion of local
health conditions and any other mat
ters which in his judgment will make
the Cleanup Week a success.
! In cities and communities where
there is designated date other than
April 21st to 27th for general clean
ing, it may be well for colored peo-
pie in such cities and communities tC
arrange for their cleaning to be done
as part of the community cleaning
1t has been emphasized however, by
I Mr.. Allen w. Clark, of the National
Paint-Up and Cleanup Bureau of st
Louis, Missouri, who will give the
three cups that the local campaigns
should continue longer than one week
but that the opening date of each
local campaign should be April 21st'
9th.

ADDRESS
From the Birmingham News. }

1--WE are asking that our white
friends grant a continuance OF the
case, that they postpone Judgment
against the Negro race Fifty years
is hardly time enough to get up and
wash our faces, and IL continuance
OF the case against us is granted we
will come out with colors flying,
said Judge William Harrison, Negro
lawyer of Oklahoma City, Who is
giving his services to the govern
ment. Judge Harrison addressed an
audience at the Sixteenth Street
Baptist Church, and this small crowd
of people he characterized as the bet
ter class of Negroes.
Judge Harrison delivered what Is
termed the most eloquent address
heard in Birmingham by the Negroes.
He reviewed the strides the Negro
race has made since given their free
dom fifty years ago, and said that
1--WE have made fairly good progress,
and with the assistance of friends OF
the white race we will make better
progress in the future"
He begged that the Negroes IN
Birmingham adapt themselves to
1.-THE new order of things" that Will
come from the world-war. Judge
Harrison asked for the cooperation
of the newspapers, and regretted that
Negroes in trouble get wide public
ity, when the good things done by our
race are forgotten"
Negroes, he said, have fought for
I their country in every important
battle. "At New Orleans the big
Negroes begged their commanding
officers to make breast-works OF theiI
bodies, and at Carrizal they fought
/ like wild men. They guard the
mansion of the biggest man in the
United States-the President.
