School Supt. Bans
Prejudiced Acts

Philadelphia, Pa Jan. 25.-Supertn-
tendent Edwin c. Broone, of the pub
lie schools in Philadelphia, in circu-
lar has asked the teachers to avoid
any acts or statements liable to make
and pupil uncomfortable because OF
race, color, or creed" 1t is said that
the circumstances bringing forth this
circular arose from the fact that COM
plaint had been registered against sew
eral white teachers who, it is stated,
have Inundated Negro children on
slightest provocation, several such IN
stances having been brought to the at
tention of the writer. Superintendent
Broone tells the public school teach
ers that 1.-THE public schools are for
the children of all people, and that 1t
is no surrender of independence for
teacher to be circumspect in his re
marks and conduct, and cOnsiderate OF
the feelings of those who are placed
under his charge. The finer the teach
er. the more broad-mfnded he will be"

Capital ''N' for Race
In All Toledo Daily
Papers
Editors Agree to N. A. A. c.
P. Branch Recornmen-
dationS.

Activity of the Toledo branch of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People has resulted
in pledges by the editors of the three
white dailies of Toledo, Ohio, that the
word Negro will be spelled with II
capital N; that the word "Negress'
will be discarded, and that orders will
be given to mention race only where
such mention would be applied to
other races.
The Toledo Branch of the n. A. A.
c. F., worked through a committee
consisting of Rev. z. A. Nichols, b. III.
Fisher and Albertus Brown. This
committee called on the editors of the
Toledo Blade, the Toledo Times and
the Toledo News Bee, leaving with
each editor written memorandum,
with suggestions for bettering rela-
tions between the races.
The suggestions have been adopted
by the three Toledo dailies.

Plough Chemical Co.
Outlook Good
For 1923

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Hello,
1923? If you are as kind to the
Plough Chemical Company as old Sl922
everyone will be happy"
This was the sentiment of the fifty
two statesmen attending the fifth an
nual salesmen's convention of the
Plough Chemical Company of Mem
phis. Tenn. For 1922 was in many re-
spects the greatest year these men have
ever enjoyed.
1t was a great year for business for
the Plough Chemical Company. Sales
were nearly double those of 1921, and
this despite the general feeling of
pessimism that prevailed in most lines
at the beginning of the year, the troub-
lous days of railroad and mining
strikes and recent fears that boil Wee
vii would consume the cotton crop be-
fore it was picked.
And the same men who went out in
tile face of these unfavorable condi-
tions determined, through zeal, en-
thusiasm and hard work, backed up
by line of well-advertised goods that
they knew were the best ever and
made the sales of 1929 double those of
1921, are going out this year deter
mined to double those of 1922 in 1923.
These statesmen are from all parts of
the United States; they see and are
in touch with conditions and all agree
that they can do it. Some of the older
statesmen who have seen and helped
the unprecedented growth of this or
ganization are looking for even greater
developments in 1923 than ever before.
The Plough Chemical Company is
now shipping their Black and White
Requisites and st. Joseph's Household
Remedies to all parts of the world and
have over 10000 dealers handling
their goods in the United States alone
I'm their addresses to the men ut
the meetings, Abe Plough, president
f. A. Mccullough, sales manager, and
f. L. KincannOn, general manager, eX-
pressed their appreciation of the 10y
atty and help of the statesmen in max
ing the Plough Chemical Company, in
less than ten years, one of the largest
toilet and medicine manufacturers in
the country.
During their sojourn in Memphis the
statesmen visited the printing plant
the box factory of the chemical com
pany, the salesroom and factory OF
the Red Line Products Company and
the factory of the Gerstle Medicine
Company. The last two named con-
Germs are owned by the Plough Chemi-
cal Company.
Plans for the future were taken up
at special meeting and it was agreed
to continue the same policy of high
quality goods at moderate prices and
the aggressive advertising policy that
has helped make the Black and White
Toilet Requisites and Gerstle House
hold Remedies known throughout the
civilized world.

Chicago Council on
Record Against Klan

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-By a vote of to
. the city council was on record today
as opposed to retaining members Of
the Ku Klux Kan on the city pay
roll.
The vote was taken yesterday, when
the city council was asked to order the
suspension of William II. Green, city
fireman and an alleged member of the
khan.
Green recently had been questioned
by an investigating committee of the
council regarding his alleged connec-
time he asserted he had resigned from
the khan. He will face trial before
the city civil service commission on
Jan. 26.
Robert J. Mulcahy, chairman of the
councils committee, asserted that
policeman had threatened his life for
his activities against the secret order.
He said he would divulge the facts
later. John P. Garner, one of the dis
senting aldermen, referred to alleged
khan activities in Morehouse Parish,
Louisiana.
"a friend of mine who just came
back from Louisiana tells me that he
mot Skipworth and DIR. McKoin and
that they are fine lot of people"
Garner said. 1.-THE whole trouble down
there is politics"

Spearmint Man Not
Ku Klux Says
Secretary

Chicago, H., Jan. 26.-Emphatic de-
NAL of the story that VIM. Wrigley Jr
the gum magnate, is Il member of the
Ku Klux Klan was made in state
ment issued by his secretary here to-
day.
"We wish to assure you that any
rumor to the effect that our president,
Mr.. VIM. Wrigley Jr., has signed any
application to join the organization
mentioned in the clipping, or that he
has approached said organization in
any way, or has taken part in any OF
its proceedings, is unqualifiedly false.
"The statement published by Chi
cago paper of small circulation, that
there is in existence written applt-
cation to the organization you men
ton signed by Mr.. VIM. Wrigley Jr. is
an untruth.
people who are personally ac-
quainted with Mr. Wrigley know very
well that neither his business associ-
ates nor his friends are selected by
race, color or creed"
The story originally appeared in Toi-
erance, magazine opposed to the
klan.

bishop of Liberia for the Methodist
Episcopal Church, sailed from New
York aboard the steamship West Hes
seltine of the Bull Line for Monrovia,
Liberia. to resume his duties directing
the mission forces of his denomina-

ert L. Jones of New Orleans, Bishop
Clair was the first of his race to be
elected to full rank in the episcopacy
of his denomination ut the general
conference at Des Moines, Iowa, in
1920. For many years previously he
had been recognized as one of the
laost able leaders in the church.
In Liberia, Bishop Clair has made
tours far into the interior through the
Jungle paths, visiting the native chief
tains and local kings, all of whom
begged him to send teachers and
peachers among them. Bishop Clair
has been in this country for some
months in the interests of his mission
field and has spoken many times To
audiences of white and colored people
upon the problems of spreading Chris
tianity among the black bushmen CT

tlanta, Ga, Jan. 31.-What could
IA well be termed the most remark
4 u able gathering of Negro capital
lists ever assembled in America met in
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 16, II and IS, 1928,
for the semi-annual meetings of the
stockholders and directors of the Ser
vice Company and its subsidiary con-
GERS, the Standard Life Insurance Com
pany and the Citizens Trust Company.
The three days were spent by the of
ficers, directors and stockholders in
discussing the affairs of these three
corporations.
Men of national reputation journeyed
from as far west as New Orleans, La,
and from as far east as Washington,
d. c., the capital of the nation, to At
lanta to lend the benefit of their ex-
perience to the allied corporations and
their subsidiaries
Definite Steps Taken in Negro Eco
nomic Progress.
Perhaps the most significant feature
of che meeting was the indication of
definite steps being made by this
group of Negro capitalists in the great
movement for the redemption of the
economic life of the colored people of
America.
The Service Company.
The varied interests represented by
these organizations cover a vast sec
ton of the industrial field. The Ser
vice Company, which is the holding
corporation operating the Service
Laundry, the Service Printing Compa-
ny, the Service Realty Company the
Service Engineering and Construction
Company, the Service Pharmacy and
the Service Farm Bureau, has made an
enviable record since its organization.
Its resources have been increased it
was reported, since last year from 3d.
100000 to $5,125,000 and its capital
from S5O0,OOO to $1,000O0O. At the
meeting last week the directors de-
clared a cash dividend of 10 per cent
with stock dividend of 100 per cent.
Indications are that the Service Com
pany will doubtless again double its
resources during the year 1928. This
is possible since, in addition to the
concerns already being operated, its
plans contemplate the establishment of
Service Industrial Insurance Compa-
ny to supplement Standard Life.
The Citizens Trust Company.
In line with the general progress of
the interests being handled by this
group of industrial leaders the Citi-
zens Trust Company, which was
opened for business in August, 1921,
has also made remarkable record.
On the day of the meeting of stock
holders and directors last week the
officers reported that the Citizens
Trust Company can boast available re-
sources of more than $1,000,000. No
better expression of confidence and
loyalty in the company could be
wished than was shown on the day be-
fore the meeting when seventy thou
sand (S70.OO0) dollars were deposited
by individuals, secret societies and
other organizations so as to bring the
deposits up to the figure set for the
