This years show will be unique,
since it will display for the first
time in the history Of fall closed

vance, owing to the early offering
Of 1924 cars.
Enjoy your 1924 car in 1928,

T. A. for the fourth quarter Of the
present automotive season.
This Is the first year that the
advance styles in cars have been
available in the closed car models
at this season Of the year. says
Jose. "a high rate of production
and brisk buying have put the
manufacturers in advance Of previ-
Gus seasons with the closed models.
with the result that the motorist
who buys now not only takes the
lowest prices but also affects a big
saving in model depreciation.
THE motoriSt can buy his 1924
car now and save from three to
six months depreciation, meanwhile
enjoying ownership of a type of
car which has steadily pushed it's
way up on sheer merit from a
mere speciality for those who wanted
luxury at any cost Of a car that
represents the automobile at its
best, designed for the man who
feels that comfortable transporta.
ton is equally essential as economy
and assurance in his motoring"

BR|TTEN TURNS
On RUSSIAN
SOVIET
Now Opposed to Any Form Of
Recognition, Congressman
Tells Coolidge.

Congressman Fred Britten (Rep.)
of Illinois went to the White House
today and told President Coolidge
he had completely changed his
mind" concerning Russian recogni-
ton.
Britten in the last Congress was
one OF the most outspoken members
in favor of an American-Russian
commercial treaty. Last summer
he went to the land of the Soviet
and as a result, he said, he is now
strongly against American recogni-
ton in any form.
81 went to Russia said Britten,
''to substantiate my opinion in
favor of a Russian commercial
treaty.
Failure Is Certain.
ST travelled unofficialIy, selected
my own guides, sought no favors
and really tried to see the good
side Of that tremendous political
theory which is now holding 150,-
O00,00 people in subsection.
II have completely changed my
opinion and am now convinced
that any recognition of Bolshevik
Russia is only lending strength to
a cause which sooner or later must
fail, and I am positively opposed
to recognition of a visionary gov
eminent whose very foundation is
based on murder, anarchy, Bolshev-
ism and theft.
Ruled by Terror.
THE country is ruled in silent
terror by a clique Of theoretical
dreamers."

Brttten said, atheism is being
taught in the schools, the govern.
ment has nationalized all business,

Physician Issues
Challenge to
Profession

(Press Service, Howard University
Washington, d. c., Dec. 1S.-Dr
John A. Kenny, medical director of the
John a. Andrew Memorial Hospital at
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has just
written letter to President Durkee
of Howard University setting forth a
unique plan to create n million dollar
sinking fund to be placed at the serv-
ice of Howard Medical College and
Meharry Medical School.
DIR. Kenny suggests that 1900 col
ored physicians, dentists and pharma-
cists each take out five hundred life
insurance policy payable jointly to the
Meharry Medical College and Howard
Medical School. In this way DIR. Ken
ny states, "a million dollars may
eventually be placed at the service of
these two institutions from this
source, which would be big thing for
the work, and a small thing for the
individual" To begin this plan, DR..
Kenny took out a five hundred dollar
policy last year This year he has
found himself able to increase the
policy to one thousand dollars, which
would give five hundred dollars to
each institution.
In placing this matter before his
associates, DIR. Kenny emphasizes the
fact that the race has at this time,
but two "class Az medical schools.
He urges support and encouragement
of these institutions because of the
present scarcity of Negro physicians
and dentists and the uncertainty for
the future with reference to an ade-
quate supply of members of these pro
fessions for the members of the Negro

doing for yOu-but | am asking WHAT
DO YOU YOURSELF DO AS A PEO-
PIE? Do you furnish the funds for
your social work? How do you do
your share-not how do the white peo
pie do it for yOu-but what are you
doing and how are you doing it?"
DIR. Bernstein fired one question af-
ter another at the attentive and inter-
ested audience intended to arouse their
consciousness of duty to self and rid
them of the lethargy that comes from
persistent and continued dependence
upon others. He aroused the people
and interested them. He stirred their
instinct of self-help and won his way
into their hearts. They heard him
,ladly and felt the force of his ques-
tions and utterances.
1--WE believe we have mission-a
mission to be of service to our fellow
men," said DIR. Bernstein referring to
his people-the Jews. Then he re-
lated most interesting story of Jew
ish philanthropy involving religion,
health, recreation, the care of orphans
and dependents of the Jewish people
ne eApldlHeu tle system VI CohlIiou-
ton and the financial foundation of
Jewish social service.
AT the conclusion of his address Il
collection was taken for the benefit of
the Urban League. Special music by
a vestered choir featured the meeting
which closed after some very appro-
pirate remarks concerning the league
and its work by the secretary, John T.
American.

Tuskegee
Trade Graduates

Ninety-five per cent of the shoe re-
per cent of the sheet-metalN workers,
SO per cent of the plumbers, 67 per
cent of the printers and 50 per cent
of the bricklayers who completed a
trade course during the ten-year pre-
war period, 190S-1917, were still work
ing at the trade or engaged in voca-
tional teaching in 1920. a total of 440
students completed their trades during
this period. OF this number 300 were
still working at their trades in 1920 /;
75 were employed as vocational teach
ers, and Is had died.
This survey is confined to the trade
graduates over period of ten years,
Immediately preceding the United
States entrance in the World War.
Although general average of 81 9-10
per cent for all trade graduates en-
gagged in their trades is very fair
showing, this does not represent Tus-
kegee's full contribution to the prepa-
ration and promotion of more skillful
and intelligent workers in the indus
tries. A more complete survey would
include all those ex-trade students
who have been members of the sew
eral vocational classes for varying pc
riods, and who acquired sufficient
shop experience and manipulative skill
to enable them to perform limited
who, through unavoidable circum-
stances, have dropped out of school
and found employment in some branch
of the trade, or in an allied trade

Pullman Employee
Made White House
Messenger

Washington, Nov. 30.-Harry Walter
LUCAS, "a, Pullman porter in the
Washington district, has been ap-
pointed by President Coolidge to post
of messenger in the White House. His
appointment was due to wish ex-
pressed by President Harding before
his death when he offered Lucas n
post at the White House, but was
stricken before he could make defi-
mite plans.
Lucas, who was born in Washing
ton, has an excellent record with the
Pullman Company for efficiency, and
this fact has been responsible for his
appointment to the late Presidents
special train, where he was privileged
to serve Mr.. Harding.
This fact was brought to the atten-
ton of President Coolidge by Mrs
Harding, who was aware of her hus-
bands plan.

Fail to Return South
AS Claimed by Edi-
tors; Cancel Special
Train

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 21.-Reports of in
timidation of 300 Negro families
claimed to be prepared to return South
on a special Illinois Central train
proved to be a flivver 1t is said that
when train time arrived only very
small number of Negroes appeared at
the station to return South.
Rumors of threats of violence said
to have been made by whites against
the Negroes were widely circulated a
few days ago. 1t is thought that rep
resentatives of Southern Cotton Grow
erS' Association had started these ru-
mors in an effort to get the Negroes
to return South. In fact, a group of
Negroes are said to have threatened
the southerner with violence if he did
not desist stirring up discomfort
among Negroes in the community. He
was told that his wild reports about
500 Negro families going back South
with him on the special was all bosh.
According to officials of the Illinois
Central railroad only thirty colored
families returned South. Reports were
circulated that northern whites were
going among the Negroes telling them
that as soon as they got on the train
the doors of the coaches would be
locked and not opened until the train
reached its destination and also that
there was a guard in each coach armed
with a gun and black snake whip.
1t seemed that the southern and the
northern whites made a strong play on
the ignorance and fears of many Of
the Negroes One young Negro said !:
"Them folks are simply going down
South for the winter, they will be back
next spring. That's great stunt, act
ing like rich folks-livlng where it Is
summer all the time"

DISFRANCHISEMENT in THE "S0LID
SOUTH"

New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska and West
Virginia they have succeeded merely
in carrying enough states to balance
the ia electoral votes from the "Solid
South" and they must then 90 out and
beat the Democratic party in the re-
naming northern states.
Or, to put it another way: Demo
cratic disfranchisement of Republican
voters gives to the "Solid Soutli'' in
every presidential election, without
any contest whatever, sufficient
number of electoral votes to wipe out
the electoral votes of the Republican
states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Maine, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas.
The Democratic "Solid South at
tempts to justify its defiance of the
Constitution, its disfranchisement of
American citizens, its undermining of
representative government, its pollu-
tion of elections, upon the ground that
it's action is necessary in order to have
Il white mans government" If that
be true then it should be limited in its
representation in the House of Repre-
sentatives and in the electoral college
to the number of white men in the
South who govern. That would give
the South Il white mans government
in exact proportion to the white mans
National Republican.

The speakers included Mrs. J. w.
Downs, Miss Estelle Haskin, Miss
Mary DeBardeleben, Mrs. w. A. New
ell, Miss Ruth Reed and r. B. Eltazer,
each of whom delivered a series of ad-
dresses dealing with some phase of
race relations. Among the subjects
presented were 'Interracial Under
standing" NEGRO Achievements"
Education and Race Relations" and
Methodist of Interracial Work" DR..
]. w. Perry delivered a convincing ad-
dress on "The Power of Christian
Principles to Overcome Race Antagon-
ism and Substitute Good Will"
One of the most effective features
of the meeting was the presence and
participation of two colored women of
character and achievement, Mrs.
Booker T. Washington and Mrs. jamie
Porter Barrett. Intelligent, cultured,
unassuming, manifesting the finest
Christian spirit, and distinguished for
service to their race, these women
gave to many of the delegates n new
appreciation of what the race is cap
able of and deeper sympathy with
its upward struggle under sheavy
handicaps. Mrs. Washington was in
vited also to address the missionary
institute at Southern Methodist Uni
versity, and made a fine impression
on faculty and students.
Mrs. Luke Johnson, chairman of the
Council Race Relations Commission
and Director of WOman's Work of the
General Commission on Interracial
Cooperation, called the meeting and
had charge of the program.

NOTED JEWISH SOCIAL
WORKER AROUSES NEGROES
Ludwig Bernstein in Splendid Address Sparkling With
Wisdom and Sincerity, Stirs Negro Self
Helping Instinct

'Indeed, I am happy to belong to a
group that has suffered, proud be-
cause we have persisted and per-
sisted" were the opening words of Dr.
Ludwig b. Bernstein in an inspiring
address at St. James A. NJ. E. Church
Sunday night under the auspicies of
the Pittsburgh Urban League. He
was one of two main speakers, the
other being President John Hope.
President Hope was the first speak
er. He related the early history of his
life and his first conscious experiences
of his position and mission in the
world He recounted the American
experience of the Negro, told an inter-
esting story of the past and present
condition of the Negro in the South.
The migration of the race claimed his
attention. He explained and analyzed
it.
1T is our big chance now," said DR..
Hope. Continuing he said, You are,
indeed, living in a land of milk and
honey. Are you going to eat all the
honey and drink all the milk? Thus
far practically all that we have gotten
has been the crumbs falling from the
rich mans table. They are still
crumbs, but bigger and better today
than ever before. But we should
think of life as something more than
meat and raiment."
President Hope reminded the people
that Negroes have a steadily increas-
ing group of business men actively en-
gagged in the business essential to the
economic progress of-the race. He
them to cooperate with
these men and thus help create the
power positively necessary to enable |
the Negro to get anywhere in Amer
lea
HAS there been any fundamental |
change in America with reference to
our group?" asked the Morehouse Col t,
lege president. "There has not" was
his own reply. "Then we must bring
it to pass that the American people
will cease to think of Negroes in one
way and other people in another way.
We must bring it to pass that the
American people will think of Negroes
as they think of other races of men
entitled to the same rights of life,
liberty and the same opportunities.
"Migration will mean nothing, will
settle no difficulties of the race with
out change, Il very material change
in the American mind toward the Ne
gro. To bring about this change will
be our one big achievement, said
President Hope in conclusion.
DR.. Tyson, president Of the Urban
League, arose when the speaker fin
shed After some fitting references
to the points stressed in the address
Of the Morehouse College head, he in
troduced Dr. Ludwig B. Bernstein, di-
rector Of Pittsburgh Jewish philan-
who went to the very heart
Of social organizationfin Il way never
done before to an audience of Pitts
burgh Negroes.
1--WE carry our own burdens said
DR.. Bernstein in referring to the Jew
sh people. "Do you carry yours?" he
asked, and continued questioning,
what do you do actually for your de-
pendent people?" 'I am not asking
what the Associated Charities, the So
ciety for the Improvement of the Poor
or other agencies of the whites are
