War Office to Aid
For Young Memorial

wv d. c., Feb. 90
w Col. Charles Young lives in the
memory of his fellow-c0untry-
men. March -, throughout the entire
nation, tribute will be paid to this great
and "Well Known Soldier of the
United States army. From every point
of the compass comes information of
activity in arranging for the day.
The War Department has taken cog
nizance of the date and through Gen.
John H. Pershing, who formerly
served with Col Young in the Tenth
cavalry, cooperation is being extended
in making the occasion one long to be
remembered.
DIR. John X. Hawkins, financial sec
retary of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church, rendered his services in
preparation of resolution for pas
sages by the bishops of the three great
Methodist bodies, A. NJ. E., A. NJ. f.
Zion and c. NJ. E., in session in Mont
gomery, Ala, whereby the bishops is
sue u proclamation asking for observ-
ance of the memorial throughout their
respective connection.
George w. Webican of New York,
Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. z. o.
Elks of the World, has issued procla-
nation urging the members of the or
der to join in the fitting observance.
One of the most eloquent editorials
ever printed about an American ap-
peared in The Nation, Feb. s, which
closed by saying:,
$50 died one who being Negro yet
distinguished himself and Il horse and
smashed to smithereens, as have the
ColOred generals in the French army,
the absurdity that Negroes can follow
only if whites lead. 1t was the black
TOussaint L'Ovevture and his blacks
who successfully defeated the veterans
of France, of Spain, and of England on
the fields of Haiti There was the
stuff of L'Overture in Charles Young,
in the flash of his eye and the lift Of
his head"

PUTS CHICAGO
FAMILY IN PENlTENTIARY.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Tortured and
mutilated by Il white Chicago physi-
clan and his two sons, Miss Mamie
McGray, laundress, has obtained her
revenge with the conviction of all
three on charges of assault to commit
murder. The state is demanding the
maximum penalty for the crime, which
is fourteen years in, the penitentiary.
The girl said that she was employed
for one day in the home of DIR. George
V. Lipschulch. In the course of the
day suspicion centered on her from the
disappearance of some jewels. She
was stripped, she alleges, by the ply
sician and his sons, Jehil and Caesar,
tied in a chair and forced to undergo
and inquisition in which hot ashes
were thrown on her breast and her
tongue clipped with shears in an eff
fort to eNtOrt a confession.
AT the end, she says, Il skeleton was
ratified before her as n suggestion of
what would happen TO her if she re-
fused to reveal the hiding place of the
Jewels.

Howard Prepares for
Intercollegiate De-
bates to Be Held i'm
Spring
Y AsHINGToN, d. C, March A.

N/ ASftlNGION, ID. e., March 4
w Undergraduate life at Howard
university is now entered in the co.n-
ing intercollegiate debates to be held
in the spring with Lincoln university,
Virginia Union university, and Atlanta
university. Howard last year entered
into n triangular debating league with
Union and Lincoln universities and
the same arrangement will hold for
this year. Lincoln will debate Howard
in Philadelphia and Union university
at Richmond. Howard will meet
Union at Washington. On the same
night each of the three colleges will
have two teams debating its rivals on
opposite sides of the question. This
triangular debate will be held March
81, 1922. The proposition to be dis
cussed is: Resolved, That the Open
Shop Policy Should Prevail in Ameri-
can Industries
In addition to the triangular de-
bate, Howard will also meet its an
cient forensic rival, Atlanta univer-
sity, in Washington two weeks prior
to the triangular debate. The subject
of the debate will be, "Resolved, That
the United States Should Cancel the
War Debts of the Allies" Howard
will uphold the affirmative and At
lanta the negative.
The speakers for the various teams
which will represent Howard have not
as yet been chosen but the following
provisional selection has been made
for the debate with Atlanta univer-
sity: A. e. Burke, C. L. Clark, NJ. c.
Edmonds, L. X. Mcmillan, NJ. c. Muir
ray, y. l.. Simms, ]. E. Smith, ]. G.
Woods and G. G. Darlington; for the
triangular debate: e. Alexander, w. r.

e. King, q. A. LOBBY, f. D. Robb, A. f.
Stowe, e. A. Simmons and +. w. Will
liams.
Debating is claiming larger place
in student activities at Howard, be-
ing popular phase of the intellectual
life of the undergraduates. The de-
batting interests of the male students
are lodged in the control of the Kappa
Sigma Debating society to which
many men now prominent in public
and professional life look back with
pride and affection. This organiza-
tion conducts annually inter-class de
bates between the freshmen and
sophomore classes. Recently the
Forum, a similar organization which
conducts class debates among the
young women, and which aspires to
arrange Intercollegiate debates with
other colleges, was organized to foster
debating among the young women.
The work of training the students in
debating is under the direction of the
department of public speaking of
which Professor Montgomery Gregory
has charge.

groups of people in the reduction of
preventable sickness and deaths, and
the increase of vitality and resistance
to disease. Such results not only lessen
the misery and cost of preventable
sickness and death to the family, com
munity and the government, but also
increase the well-being, earning capac-
ity and service of the healthy citizen to
home, community and country

same may be secured by application

n. A. A. C. P. Named
in General Order of
L. S. Shipping Board
Fleet

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is
i named in a general order issued on
Feb. II by A. ]. Frey, vice president
in charge of operations of the United
States Shipping Board Emergency
Fleet Corporation. This order pro-
hibits discrimination against coiored
men in the Shipping Boards Commits
sary Department.
Credit for this victory goes to
Shelby ]. Davidson, executive secre-
tary of the Washington branch, n. A.
\. c. p, who, together with Mr.
Chambers of the Committee for the
Relief of Unemployed Colored Chief
! Stewards, called on Vice President
Frey and submitted evidence that col
ored men had been Disseminated
against.
Mr.. Davidson writes:
After looking into the official cor
respondence he had in hand, and
corresponding letters and papers pre-
sented by us, Mr.. Frey called his
stenographer and issued the order l
am sending in this letter and closed
by saying, that the agent in the New
York port according to letters and
reports he had received, seemed to be
the chief offender and that in a few
days he would be removed from his
place to more subordinate position"
The general order issued by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation is as
follows:
United States Shipping Board Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, Washing
Operations Order No. II.
10 Managing Agents, District Direc-
tors, District Managers, EMPLOYEES
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Subject: Employment of colored Men
in commissary Department.
Evidence has been laid before me
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
which indicates that in one district
at least, there has been discrimina-
tion against American citizens in the
employment of personnel for the
commissary department of our ves-
sells; such discrimination being purely
on account of color and without re-
gard to the competency of the appli-
cant for position. Such a policy
cannot be permitted.
There are many colored men who
have spent the greater part of their
lives working in the cOmmissary de-
partment of vessels, and who from
long experience have become most
proficient in the work of that depart
ment. When positions in the commits
sary department are to be filled, there
must be no discrimination on account
of color, and employees must be Sc
lected solely on the basis of their
competency, honesty, and previous
good record. but subject of course to
the provisions of Chairman's General
Order No. IL and Operations Order
No. Z, directing that preference be
given to competent American citizens.

things in two years What girl dOes
not after she's passed her fifteenth
birthday? One Of the things she had
found out was that Oscar was a dread!
full person, more dreadful than most
of the squatter men. OF course the
men folks of her people did beat their
women, now and then. That was their
right without any question. The blood
colored even her ears as she remem-
bered how Oscar hectored his wife Tor
the money 1t was so hard for Evelyn
to get. Another thing she had come
to understand was that, II Oscar had
not been afraid Of the powerful Rob
ertson family, he would have forced
Evelyn into his home long before this.
1t had been a hard two years task to
keep him quiet.
"Mebbe you are gettin' sick, Oscar"
she interposed. II don't know
mebbe; but you know what that old
Miss Robertson would do to you an
her girl If you told. You'd get Eve,
mebbe, but you sure wouldn't get any
more money" =
The mans face darkened.
THAT'S just the rub" he conceded,
"but at that Eve amt playing square
with me. The Robertsons have money
to burn. and she deals 1t out to me In
small little dollars. 1 tell you Pm sick
of the whole thing"
Polly noted the glitter In Benefits
angry eyes and felt again the culver
Of fear.
"She gives you all she gets her fin
gers on" she came back at him in de-
fense of the absent Evelyn. Lots of
times she's got along on about nothin'
to send you cash, an didn't come
runnin' up here with 1t as soon as she
give it to me? Now her mas gettin'
on that Eve amt spendin' her money
on herself, an she watches 'er like a
hawk does a chicken. She told me
that only yesterday"
The squatter girl rose to her feet,
anxious to be gone.
oscar, you might be lettin' me
have just a wee bit Of milk. You
ain't losin' nothin' through me-"
She picked up the pail, and with a
growl the man snatched 1t out Of her
hand.
"Women're a id nuisance" he
grumbled. "Well, wait here" '.
He went out Of the room, and Polly
Hopkins drew a long breath. 1t was
getting harder every day to get the
milk she needed.
When Bennett returned, she was
standing with her hand on the door
knob, ready to go. In silence she took
the pail he offered her.
"Looka here, Pollyop," he began abb
ruptly. as Polly opened the door.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-02-24

"What's to hinder Your paying for
your milk yourSelf?"
He said it with extreme deliberation,
making emphatic the last words.
Polly threw up her head and eyed
him sharply. 81 run my legs most Off
for YOU aS it's, Oscar" she retOrted,
"between here and the Robertsons';
but I don't never have no money. You
know that, an Daddy Hopkins don't
get much, either. If I had dollar,
bet I'd spend every penny of 1t film
up Jerry an Daddy an Granny Hope
with milk an eggs To make him
understand how anxious she was to
please him, she went forward n pace.
"An' I'd buy 'em all Of you, Oscar.
That's as true as Granny Hopes God
Is settln' up in the sky"

swercd Eennett, staring at her. Sud-
denly he came close to her; and Polly
backed TO the door. HIS face was red
and fagitated; the cords in his meek
were swollen while his fingers twisted
eagerly. That was another thing about
which Polly's eyes had been opened in
two years Of growing wonIanhood.
