SOUTHERN WOMEN
AND THE NEGRO

The women's boards of the South
ern Presbyterian, the Southern Bap-
tist and the Southern Methodist
churches have endorsed the program
of the women members of the Inter
Racial Commission, and have set in
motion the machinery to carry it out
in local communities throughout the
South, through their local church
societies.
The plan calls for three commit
tees in each auxiliary to study the
Negro homes, schools and churches
of the community with the aid of the
colored women who are locally lead
ers among their people. From these
studies concerted plan of action is
to be prepared, differing according
to local needs, upon which the wom-
en- of both races can unite in CO.
operation with the county inter-ra-
cial committee.
In the opinion of many southern
students of public questions, no more
important or hopeful action than this
has ever been taken in the wide and
tangled field of race relations.

activities of the Ku Klux Klan and
co-operated with the New York
World in its exposure. The associa-
tions legal victories for the past year
include the complete vindication and
release of pickets who had been ar
rested for parading before New
York theater and distributing leaf
lets warning the New York public
against the Ku Klux Klan propagan-
da of the Birth of a Nation" film.
5. Pan-AfTican Congress. The as
sociation promoted the Second Pan
African Congress with 110 delegates
and 1 900 visitors from thirty coun-
tries and eleven states of the United
States. Resolutions of the Congress
were sent to and acknowledged by
the League of Nations in Geneva.
6. Haiti. Efforts were continued
for the liberation of the black re-
public of Haiti and the association
co-operated in employing counsel who
attended the hearings of the recent
Senate investigating committee in
Washington and accompanied the
Senate committee which is now in
Haiti.
Upon this record the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People stands. 1t feels justified
in appealing to every colored man
and woman in the United States for
funds to enlarge and continue that
work.
Do colored Americans want that
work to go on? The answer lies with
them. From many individuals and
almost without exception from the
colored press, the association has had
magnificent cooperation. More, how
ever, is wanted.
The association wants THE SIN
EWS OF PEACE. PEACE HAS TO
BE PAID FOR. VIII colored Ameri-
cans back up the association in
bringing it about?
The sinews of peace are NUM-
BERS AND MONEY. Those who
give money to the association may
designate the purposes to which it
is applied, such as legal defense, pub
licity, advancement of legislation, etc.
Or they may give to the general fund
which covers the entire field of ac-
tivities of the association.
We do not want our work to be
BY A FEW FOR THE FEW. We
want it to represent the entire col
ored population of the United States
and WE WANT THE ENTIRE COL
ORED POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATES TO SUPPORT
THIS WORK.

Granted a
Movie Patent

Baltimore, Md, Nov.-Final pat
ents were granted by the patent Of
flee in Washington this week to Ar
thur L. McBeth, 1880 Pennsylvania
avenue, giving him exclusive rights
to his invention of a daylight NOV
ing picture theater.
The chief feature of Mr.. McBeth's s
invention is that it will enable NOV
ing pictures to be shown in the open
air in the daytime. making it unnec-
essaIy to have darkened theaters for
this purpose.
The same films used in ordinary
moving picture machines are en-
ployed but the moving picture ma
chine is placed behind the screen in
front of the audience instead of the
position it occupies now in the NOV
ing picture theaters.
Mr.. McBeth has been working on
his invention for fifteen years before
he finally perfected it and made his
first application for patent several
years ago.
He plans to form company to
erect open air theaters all over the
country with a capitalization of a
quarter of a million dollars. The
first theater, it is said, will be erect
ed in Baltimore.

Lincoln Auto School
of St. Louis, Mo-, Is
Making Good Prog
ress in Training
COlOred Men to Be
Master Auto Me-
chanics.

The Lincoln Auto and Tractor In
stitute. the newest and most up-to-
date training institution for colored
men in the United States, is develop
ing very rapidly and is enrolling stu
dents from all parts of the United
States for their course of automo-
tive instruction. The institution is
also installing the best equipment for
the purpose of training colored men
to beesme master auto mechanics.
The course is so simple that an un-
developed boy in his teens can COM
prehend the instruction, yet the
training is more complete than that
found in any other school of auto
mechanics. There are no books, no
lectures-but the instruction comes
from practical work on automobiles
needing repairs, under the supervi-
sion of men who long ago mastered
the intricate mechanism of the auto
mobile The students are constantly
under the direction of high-grade,
dependable master mechanics.
Especial consideration is given to
out-of-town boys. Board and lodging
in genteel private homes are secured
for these boys. These out-of-town
students have the advantage OF at
tending either the day or night
classes, as those who attend the day
classes can work evenings and those
who attend the evening classes can
work during the day. This arrange
ment enables the boys to help out
with their expenses.
A school bank is operating which
gives the students a safe place in
which to deposit surplus money,
which can be drawn as it is needed.
The bank is-conducted for those who
desire its convenience. There is no
obligation to use it.
The Lincoln Auto and Tractor In
stitute offers ambitious boys and
men of the colored race bigger oppor-
tunities than they have ever had in
the past to put themselves on a high
er plane of salary income, for auto
mechanics earn large and comfortable
salaries.

"a the Advancement VI COiOi GU
81 People, 70 Fifth avenue, New
q York City, today issued an
- end of the year statement
calling attention to the work
of the association, and calling upon
colored Americans for support. The
statement reads as follows:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People in
yites. the consideration of all colored
Americans of the following facts:
Lynching. The ten-year fight
wbi4,h the National Association for
the advancement of Colored People
ay5a other agencies have waged
)sgainst 1ynching has resulted in a
federal anti-lynching bill being re-
ported in the House of Representa-
tlves, which will be passed in this
session of Congress if colored Ameri-
ans unite in demanding its passage.
In this ten-year fight the associa-
ton has raised and expended more
than THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, which has been used for
personal investigations of lynchings,
mass meetings, conferences and pub
licity matter to make the facts pub
lie; with the result that lynching IN
the United States has become not
only national issue in the United
States but one that the entire civil
lized world knows about.
The personal Investigations OF
Iynchings by members of the asso-
cations staff were the ONLY ONES
to be made in this country, and
we're often DANGEROUS TO THE
LIVES of the investigators. These
Investigations have once and for all
EXPLODED THE MYTH that the
cause of lynching is rape.
Q. Arkansas and Tulsa. The facts
concerning the riots in Arkansas and
in Tulsa, Okla, were placed before
the world.
The condemned victims of the Ar
kansas riots, sentenced to die IN
1919, have been saved up to the pres
ent time and their cases have been
fought through every court to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
before which they are now to be
heard. On these cases the N. A. A.
C. P. have already expended $11, ,299.
Three thousand five hundred dol
lars has thus far been raised for the
victims of the Tulsa riot; their case
being put before the branches OF the
N A. A. C. P. and before the pub
lie through the colored and whlte
newspapers. The association helped
to fight an ordinance of the city OF
Tulsa which would have prevented
colored people rebuilding their
homes on the sites where they had
stood: with the funds collected it has
contributed in furnishing physical re-
lief to the destitute victims and aid
ed in providing legal defense for the
colored men imprisoned on charges
of rioting.
2 Extradition. Extradition of col
ored men from northern to southern
states where probable lynching await
ed them, has been successfully op-
posed by the legal fighters OF the
association. This has set prece-
dent in northern states for requiring
an assurance of fair trial in the
South before extradition is granted
