A Birthday Party

1t does not often happen that an in
stitution has the opportunity to cele-
brate the elghty-fifth birthday of a
member of its staff just entering upon
fifty-fifth year of active service. Such
was the privilege of Hampton Insti-
tute when, on Decepber II, it cele-
brated, through the Armstrong League
of Hampton Workers, the eighty-fifth
birthday of Mr.. Albert Howe, its super
intendent of Roads and Grounds, as
sociated with General Armstrong from
the time when ground was broken for
the first school buildings.
The party was held in the Museum
and was attended by very large
representation of Mr.. Howe's friends,
old and young. 1t was a very happy
occasion and gave opportunity for in
teresting "reminiscences of her child
hood days by Mrs. Edith Armstrong
Talbot; of his lifelong association with
Mr.. Howe by Mr.. George Davis, Glass
OF IA, now a rural community worker
after more than forty years service
Oh the school staff; and of the estima-
tion in which Mr. Howe has always
been held by his father and the towns
people generally, by Mr.. Frank W.
Darling.
chorus of graduates added greatly
to the pleasure of the occasion by
singing, I'm a Jonah Man." Castle
on the River Nile" Adam Didn't have
No Nanny" and other songs of
similar character. The huge birthday
cake was wheeled in on u tea carriage
by three tiny children and presented
to Mr.. Howe after he had been
decorated with several Iais, after the
Hawaiian fashion.
The singing of "Auld Lang Syne"
was followed by an hour of social in
tercourse and congratulation. The
party was directed, in her usual
gracious and happy manner, by Mrs.
Scoyille, who. as Mrs. Purves is un-
able to serve this year as president of
the League, has consented to continue
i'll office.

Two Million Negro
Women at Work

Struggling against lack of training
and against efficiency, restricted in
opportunities TO get and hold jobs,
more than two million Negro women
and girls are today laboring in do
nestle service, in agriculture and in
manufacturing pursuits with the hope
of an economic independence that will
some day enable them to take their
places in the ranks with other working
women.
During the past twelve months
some decided changes affecting Negro
women have taken place in domestic
and personal service. For instance, in
Detroit, Mich, today from so to 90 per
cent of the calls for domestic workers
are for white girls. The average wage
in that city for general houseworkers
is from So to SO a week, as against
S15 to $50 year ago. Women work
ing by the day receive from 40 cents
to 80 cents an hour as against 60 cents
to 10 cents one year ago. The calls
for office, elevator and stock girls are
no longer for Negro girls. There are
still some thousands of Negro women
in the cigar and tobacco factories of
the country. They are poorly paid, of
course, their wages ranging from SO to
$40 for siXty-hour week.
In many sections almost the only
recreational or social contacts enjoyed
by such women come through the
monthly church meeting. the OCCASION
al burial of a friend or the annual
trip to town at cotton-seed time. Bet
ter prepared ministers, more mission
airy school teachers and welfare work
ers and many district nurses would
make the life of the average agricul
tural woman worker more endurable.

sion of New York by Mayor Hylan,
Democrat, in recognition of the big
Afro-Amerfcan vote which helped re-

Once it was established, though, that
the oil upon the place was real oil

1t was real money, some of the best
legal talent of this section became the

Memorial on Anti
Lynch Bill to Go

The National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, 40 Fifth
avenue, New York, today announced
that mass meeting would be held in
the town hall on Wednesday evening,
March l, at which Representative Le-
onidas c. Dyer of Missouri would

Col. Charles Young
An Appreciation
By Jonathan Cover.

The recent passing of Col. Charles
Young with all that it involved of ideal
devotion, sacrifical service and un-
equaled immolatiOn of self on the altar
of nations prejudice, is the tragic
Indictment for which the American
conscience will one day blush while
pleading Guilty"
The career of Colonel Young is un-
approached for its remarkable cour-
age, its spiritual eXaltation and its al
most superhuman poise, a poise which
even the vicious, shameless onslaughts
of relentless hate were impotent to
disturb.
That he achieved so much that he
was enabled to shape a course through
the seething maelstrom of persecution
and prescription encountered at the
War College of the nation, and emerge
therefrom with honor and distinction
is an achievement without its parallel
in the annals of any race or any age.
Approaching the torture of mind
and the constant pricking of prideful
sensibilities, to which the aspiring Ne
gro is subjected, we may family
glimpse the cross he bore and upon
which his soaring spirit was crucified
day by day as one against thousand
he for five long years breathed an at
mosphere of scorn and insult and pet
ty meannesses.
In the light of this wonderful life,
its denial of higher service, honors and
its loyal and sacrificial cleaving to
duty, even unto death, can we for a
moment doubt the nature and careful
purpose of an All-wise Creator? May
we not interpret this glorious life as
one of HIS means of establishing and
emphasizing the equality of race and
the democracy of intellect, of virtue
and of God-like manliness?
Is it too much to hope that the night
of prescription for Negro Americans
may indeed be far spent and that the
dawn of day of freedom, full and
real, may be fast approaching. Sure
ly we must believe this, and believing,
must be content TO pray for patience
to labor and to wait
How replete with suffering and
achievement lies our Negro world from
Crispus Attucks to Charles Young
Truly they are the Alpha and Omega,
symbolizing the devotion, heroism and
sacrifice of Negroes during all the
years between. one no less than the
other gave his life for flag and coun-
try. One no less than the other be
comes an immortal star whose radi-
ant splendor no clouds of scorn or
prejudice may obscure, but shining on
eternal and undimmed, inspires the
hearts of our Negro youth to do and
dare without reserve for God, for man
hood and their race.

assets, numerous oil wells and
Il big oil refinery in Claiborne
u Parish, Louisiana, have all
been found by the Louisiana
Supreme Court to be the property of
Miss Lillian Turner, colored, as sole
heiress of her mother, Mrs. Iona Nc
Ghee.
Through the decision of the State
Supreme Court last fall Miss Turner
was awarded rehearing in the case
after an Injunction which prevented
her from obtaining title to her inheri-
tance at the time. Formerly, April
II, the Third District Court of Clai-
borne Parish awarded the lands and
property to the colored heiress, the
state of Louisiana contesting the de-
cision and obtaining Il rehearing on
the whole case on the grounds of a
contention that Miss Turner was an
illegitimate child of her mother, Mrs.
McGhee.
Another contestant, Mrs. Angelina
Allen, mother of Mrs. McGhee and
grandmother of Miss Turner, began II
contest of the claims of her grand
daughter when oil was discovered on
the otherwise worthless Hroperty, but
was defeated in both the lower and
higher courts.
The final big battle in the case came
up in the courts at this place on Janu-
ary II. There were many witnesses
on both sides, and every effort was
made by several white persons with
the assistance of suborned Negroes to
wrest the colored woman's enormous
holding from her The excellence of
the case and the strength of the claim
which was made by the rightful heir
ess, though, were of nature to bring
to her aid some of the best legal talent
of this section of the country, with
the rare result that Miss Turner re-
ceived an absolutely fair decision and
came into full and absolute possession
of what is possibly one of the largest
fortunes in the United States owned
by woman.
The land upon which oil was found
and which is finally the sole property
of Lillian Turner, was originally
part of the wornout Louisiana bottom
land, practically worthless for farm
ing purposes and only useful as place
of residence for n few poor people.
At no time until finally it's value went
up by leaps and bounds with the COM
ing in of the first big gusher, was the
land worth at the outside of more than
$1,000. No interest was taken in it
nor it's owners. The poverty=stricken
Angelina Allen, Lorna McGhee and Lii
lie Turner, grandmother, mother and
daughter, were of no consequence ap-
parently, to themselves, their neigh
bors nor the community.
No thought was ever taken of any
of the parties to the case. Like many
other farms in the district, the Turner
farm was in the Oil belt. Experiments

TIGERS TO THE TEST

Misunderstanding, Va, Oct. 27.-
Unable as yet to shake old man hard
luck from them, the Tigers are max
ing a desperate effort to kill two
birds with one stone Saturday, tina;
is to beat their traditional foe, Will
liam and Mary who haven't known
the sensation of a victory over the
Tigers since 1909, when an Indian
team led, by the present William
and Mary mentor defeated Charlie
Berniers's Tigers and to shake the
link This would be great achieves
ment for the Hampden-Sidney team
since they have lost every game this
season and have only succeeded IN
rolling up six points in four encoun,
tiers, while their rivals have scored
fifty nine points, beating, one team
that defeated the Tigers previously.
If hard work and drive on the
part of the Tiger team as prepa-
ration for Saturdays Richmond
struggle, can win the game, 1t IS as
good as won, for the Valley stadium
is the scene of great toll and sweat

Reputation of striking ike rattler
where least expected =
Fhey are coming with the intent
of winning this game in order to rer
gain lost prestige. Until their de-
feat last week, Georgetown was con-
sidered the logical contender for the
crown of the champion Mohawks,
and the result of this game will so q
long way in regards to who is the
real contender.
Despite Georgetown's pretensious
to the crown of the Mohawks, the
Virginia A C., is of the opinion thar
Georgetown must do battle with
them TO prove their pretensions. And
when the smoke of the battle has
cleared the winner will have just
cause TO demand Reorganization from
the naughty Hawks"
The Virginians realize that they
must play real football to defeat
Georgetown, and are working hard
perfecting their system. They can
not depend on any one star to win
their game, each player must pick
| his man and play him to a stand
tstill.
Fans may be assured of witnessing
enc of the real contests of the sea-
son this Sunday. BRYAN Morse, who
lohiciated at both of Virginias games
this season, will again handle the
whistle. Mr.. Morse is a man who
plays no favorites, gives fair dea.
al around and brings out the rea,

football while the game is in prog
