A.M.E ZION Church
SEEKS To BREAK ALL
UNCONVENTIONAL TIES

WASHINGTON, d. C.,-Zion church
recently set aside $4,000 for Home
Mission Preachers and sends out a
general invitation to young men,
graduating from Seminaries and 9th
erwise prepared, to join the ranks
of intensive and extensive missionary
endeavor AS it is not mainly an eff
fort to swell it's own numbers but
a drive for the Kingdom and for
increased religious activity among the
Negro race, young men and women,
regardless of their UNCONVENTIONAL
training, will be acceptable. In this,
the Zion church also seeks to break
selfish DenominatfonaI cleavage
among us and hopes to encourage
and use talents and consecrated ac-
QUESTION wherever and whenever it
is available The church believes
that, in this policy, both the in
terest of the Kingdom of Heaven and
the mass formation of our racial
units against discrimination and all
forms of racial prejudice can best be
served by discouraging Denomina-
tionalism which divides us in vital
things and encourage fellowship in
religion as well as cooperation in
dealing with our problems. Mr.. S. M.
Dudley, of Washington, D. c., a lay
man, has charge of this mission fund
and he is being ably assisted in its
administration by the Bishops and
a carefully selected Board.

AFRICAN CITIZENS
SAID TO GIVE PARIS
LOTS OF TROUBLE

PARASITIC Associated Press, the
greatest news gatherer of the white
press, whose articles, with regard to
dark peoples have been tinged with
prejudice has recently released the
report of the Color Problem in Paris.
1t says:
"The color problem, always regard
ed as a peculiarly American Institu-
ton, has suddenly loomed large in
Paris, and the Government has hur-
riedly created a special department
to supervise the African natives,
blacks and Moroccans, who number
100000 in the capital, as compared
with 5000 twenty years ago.
The great concern is not over the
criminal element among the Negroes
and yellow tribesmen, but with the
ignorant desert-raised natives who
have been attracted to Paris by tales
OF pleasure and who frequently run
wild. They are without money and
uneducated, accustomed to the rough
living that passed muster in the des.
ert but which shocks the Partisan.
The police are baffled because the
transplanted natives accept punish
ment as matter of course and start
over again, not realizing they have
not perfect right to fight with
knives or to steal when hungry.
Much of the difficulty is said by
those with experience in the colonies
to be due to lack of understanding
by the police and others of the psy.
chology of the African natives, but
the police say it is impossible for un-
educated Africans to plunge suddenly
into great city and get along we'll
Consequently the police officials are
urging an absolute embargo on the
coming of lower class Africans, ex
cept where employment and proper
surroundings are assured Even then
it is pointed out, they must be helped
by firm, friendly supervision.

ago and served as it's president for
several successive terms. Mrs. Car
ter also has been signally honored
by the Club women of Arizona, hav-
ing been chosen as their delegate to
represent this State at several of
the meetings of the National Fedora
tion of Colored Women, which meet
ings are held annually in Chicago
or Philadelphia.
Mrs. Carter plans a tour of the
State in the interest of the Republi-
can ticket, and will organize the
women in ever y town and hamlet in
Arizona. By reason of her wide &C
quaintance throughout the State, she
will experience no difficulty in bring
ing together the women of our race
Speaking to representative of the
Tribune Mrs. Carter said 1--WE
shall endeavor to impress our women
with the importance of voting the
straight Republican ticket in this
election. Three tickets are in the
field this year, and if Republicans
are to triumph, we must vote for
every man on the ticket-from Con-
stable to Coolidge"

HATRED IS CAUSE OF
RACE TROUBLE SAYS
BISHOP R. E. JONES

Bishop R. E. Jones' lecture on "In-
ter-racial Adjustments" last Monday
night was rich with religious spirit
and profound knowledge
The Bishop spoke of his broad ex-
perience with inter-racial adjustment
conferences in the south. He told of
the gratifying results that were con-
tinually working for harmony and
truth of understanding between the
whites and Negroes of the south.
I'VE need to think in terms of hui
manity more than in term of race"
said the Bishop. "The greatest fights
have not been fought on the field of
battle, but in the realm of human
conscience. We must learn how to
live together, treat each other. kind
ly, squarely and fairly. We have to
be able not to conquer our doubts,
but our hates. Love your enemies
this is the test of mans religion
toward man and God, and in it lies
the solution of all race problems"

FREE CIRCUS ACTS TO
BE Big ATTRACTION
ARIZONA STATE FAIR

Three premier circus acts featru
ing some of the worlds most famous
performers will make their appear
ance at the Arizona State Fair this
made today by Joseph p Dillon, Sec
retary of the State Fair Commission.
These special free attractions have
been brought to Arizona for the
week of the fair, November 10-15,
inclusive, at an expense that would
seem extravagant except for the fact
that they are classed as top liners in
the amusement world They include
the Flying Condonas," flying trap
eze artists; Lucille Andersan, the
famous diving beauty, and a bevy
of Diving nymphs direct from the
New York Hippodrome, and Chick
Overfield, expert trick slack wire
performer
The Sondonas have shown their
skill and daring in practically every
country of the civilized world, re-
turning only recently to the United
States after an absence of four
years in Europe, South America,
Africa and Asia. They are said to
be the only artists performing in the
outdoor field who have been dec
GRATED by the king of Spain for the
fete in the immense hippidrome at
Seville, and also by the president of
France FOR exhibitions given in the
leading circuses in that country.
Miss Anderson, queen of the sirens,
succeeds to the honors formerly held
by Annette Kellerman. Her contract
calls for daily performance, featur-
ing swimming and diving contests in
front of the grand stand. In her
water revue, she is assisted by a
cotrie of bathing beauties who have
won high honors and medals in diy-
ing contests throughout the east.
These fascinating and beautiful
nymphs will give an enhancing per-
formance of trick and somersault
diving and Miss Anderson furnishes
the climax in the form of a 65-foot
high dive.
One of the best tricks performed
by Overfield. the chap on the slack
wire, is his imitation as an intoxi-
Gated club man, whose imitation,
though highly hazardous, always
evokes peals of merriment
The outlook for a successful fair
this year was never better, says Sec
retary Dillon. Special rates by the
railroads from all points in Califor-
MIA, Arizona, New Mexico and Weste-
ern Texas assure a record attend
ance, he says.

PROGRESS OF negro
in AMERICA ASTOUNDS
SOUTH AFRICA, AYERS

ATLANTA, Ga.,-"To a visitor
from South Africa, the progress of
the. American Negro is positively
astounding, says Rev. A. A Kidwell,
prominent religious leader from
johannesburg, who has just rounded
out an extensive tour in this coun-
try, making a special study of
Negro education 81 have been parti-
cluarly pleased" he continued, with
the educational progress of the race
in this country. In South Africa
it is popularity supposed that the
educated Negro is a failure Here
1 find that just the reverse is true.
The American people seem to recog-
nize that education affects the Neg
ro just as it does anybody else, max
ing him more capable, more efficient,
a better citizen, and an asset to
society. Your system of public edu-
cation is based on that theory, and
the multitudes of educated progress
sive Negroes whom l have found
throughout the country prove that
the theory is correct.
81 have been deeply impressed
also, and even astounded," said DR..
Kidwell "at the economic compe-
tence which American Negroes are
achieving their success in agricul.
ture, industry and business. Your
big insurance companies, banks, real
estate corporations, construction
companies and the like have no par
allel anywhere else in the world, so
far as l know, and certainly not in
South Africa"
DR.. Kidkell is superintendent Of
many churches and schools in
British South Africa and is deeply
interested in promoting the welfare
of the natives. His observations of
tie favorable effects Of public edu-
cation and economic opportunity for
the iace in America lie hopes to
use to good advantage on his re-
turn, in the effort to bring about a
more nberal attitude toward the ma
tive population. He fraukiy admits
tat TIE relations of the races in
South Africa are much more diff
cut than here and that the natives
labor under limitations and handi.
caps far more severe than anything
tc -.h'ch the race is subjected to
i'll this country.
DR. Kidyell .spen, several hours
,cnEing into the work tr lie inter

opinion that it's principles and meth.
DDS ought to be applied around the
world wherever there is inter-racial
friction.

SPORT WRITER'S SAY
Wills FOUGHT TWO
men in FIRPO BOUT

NEW YORK,-The opinion is
growing in and around New York
among able sport critics that Harry
Wills, the reliable old campaigner,
was really holding his stuff for the
benefit of Jack Harrison Dempsey,
heavy weight champion, who was a
spectator at the Wills-Firpo fight.
Wills, everyone knows, has arrived
at the point where he can demand a
bout with the champion. Some writ
ers say that Wills was not doing his
best-rather going his best-in the
fight with Firpo because he knew
that Dempsey person was right there
at the ring side drinking in every
move he made
Harry is a reliable old campaigner.
He knew what Dempsey was there
for. 1t wasn't to see the fight and
to enjoy the thrills. At the end of
the seventh round Dempsey got up
and walked out Because all that
he or anyone else was seeing was the
humdrum repetition of Wills feint-
ing Firpo into an opening and then
pummelling away at his ribs.
Was Wills actually hiding his
stuff? Smart boxing men say he
was. Did he fight two men, Firpo
and Dempsey? Was he telling two
birds at one and the same time? Was
he battling Firpo physically and
Dempsey mentally? Rather unique
situation if he did.

Church CONFERENCE
ADVISES NEGROES TO
SUPPORT G. 0. P.

CHICAO,-As a part of its social
and welfare program the Chicago
Annual Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church passed
the following resolution:
WHEREAS,we, as a racial entity
and as citizens of this Republic,
have our own peculiar racial, social,
economic, religious and political prob
lens to face, we feel that our peo-
pie, en- masse, are still in need Of
and are. as well, still ready to re-
ceive advice and counsel, as in the
past, from their pastors;
AND WHEREAS glowing promises
for the future are being held out
by certain parties seeking to corral
the vote of our people, and to that
end various subterfuges are being
used,
THEREFORE, be it resolved, that
as a Conference we do not hesitate
and declare it to be our ultimate con-
viction, that just at this time we
cannot advise our people to desert
the Republican party for any offer
that other persons or parties may
make. While we realize that in some
respects and at some times repres-
entatives of the Republican party
have not always shown themselves
fully appreciative of our aid, at the
same time when we recall and
compare the complete record in Ma
tional affairs of the treatment ac-
corded us by the two of the great
leading parties we quickly see a
splendid balance in favor of the Re
publican party, and the present Re-
publican standard bearers;
THEREFORE, we urge our people,
both men and women, in this crit
ical hour and pivotal section, not to
fail to qualify for the electorate and
upon the election go to the polls and
cast their suffrage for Coolidge and
Dawes, as President and Vice-Presi-
dent of the u S.

DOCTORS STARTLED
BY OPERATION Which
REVEALS DEAD BABY

TOLEDO, Ohio,-One of the most
astounding discoveries in medical
history was made in ST. Vincent's
hospital when an operation for a
tumor' revealed that an aged Toledo
woman had carried for fifty-one years
the perfectly formed body of an un-
born baby girl.
The woman seventy-four, died
shortly after the operation. Her
death was caused by a combination
of diseases due to old age, doctors
said.
Toledo physicians say this is one of
the most unusual cases of the kind in
medical history. Mothers have been
known to carry bodies of unborn
children for year and perhaps two,
but never before for half a century.
The unborn child caused the mo-
ther little discomfort during life.
The woman has two sons born be-
fore she was twenty.
At twenty-three, the woman expect
ed her third child. All the symptoms
of motherhood appeared, but at the
scheduled time she came back with
empty arms. Doctors told her she
was mistaken, that she had a grow
ing tumor, and advised an operation.
But fear of doctors and operations
kept her from confirming her belief
that she was to have been a mother
again
