A WOMAN'S WAY

And for the moment she will hard
en- her heart against her own love,
until her object is gained and then
she will sit and cry over her own
folly. But be not deceived in her
repentance, 1t is but one side of her
cruel and unstable nature; she will
do vt again as soon as she can be
made to forget the black side of it.
So the colored woman is no excep
ton, She loves her race just as all
other women do theirs: but her men
do not help her to indulge in these
dreams as other people do theirs
The average colored man is too fem
mime in this respect.
WANTS FEMALES TO SUFFER
He wants his women to suffer with
him. but he does not provide for
them afterwards, and the result ia
that she abandons him at a very
critical moment.
AN OPEN QUESTION
Why is this? Does she not love
him? Yes, she does; but he fails
to understand her and help her as
he should! What is it that he fails
to do? He fails to make money and
give her the Injuries so common
among other women. And why
does he not? Well, perhaps it is be-
cause that he prefers to be of the
weak spirit that properly belongs to
her, and fails to undergo the neces
sary hardships to earn the money
she requires. he is weak or slow in
defending her from danger And
SO she abondons him, though she
pities him. And what must he do
without a woman? He knows that
in spite of his sympathies, she Is
false. But he can not reach her,
because he cannot produce the
means: which is money sufficient to
indulge her in her dreams Of com
fort or Superficial pleasures
THE QUESTION ANSWERED
And why? Simply because he can
not get an equal chance to earn it
When he works he does not know
enough to make the most of it. And
at that. he is not given an equal
chance at what he can do SO here
hangs the secret Of his not being
able to find the proper outlets for
nature at the proper time and man.
ner. Hence, like a hungry beast, he
dares to commit violence. He will
kill or steal at the risk of his life,
and the loss of all that is dear to

SEVERAL ANGLES

There are several angles of i'm
portant interest from which such
murderous acts as that may be seen.
And one very grave question that
might at any moment enflame en-
accused to serious resistance Of the
law is; whether or not It is safe to
surrender to the authorities of the
local districts: or to fight 1t out on
the spot. The local authorities
seem only able to disarm the individ-
ual so that the lynchers can do their
hideous work without any personal
risk from their victim.

MOORE SPEAKS PLAINLY OF

Bahia, Brazil,
Oct. 10. 1925.

o6utd, DI6Sli,
Oct. 10. 1925.
Mr. John Mitchell, Jr.,
Richmond. Va, U. S. A.
Dear sir:
We regretted to see your big head
lines Of Aug. 21st and the explana-
ton which followed! But what can
we expect, when all hands Of that
South are so MORALLY impractical?
The essential laws Of nature must
be respected or something will GER
tainly burst. Just little more com
mon sense would change things ever
so much for the better. But col
Ored people, as rule. seldom use
common sense in their affairs.

NOT ALL JUSTIFIABLE

However. we do not say that every
accusation OF violence is justified or
justifiable. Many OF these reports
could easily be proved to be false.
The whites may in a fit of anger
kill; and then justify the act upon
the old story of rape. when in many
cases it was that the white man
struck the black one and got the
worst OF the proposition We can
never forget Robert Charles OF New
Orleans. and the great Wilmington
riot in North Carolina, along with
many other cases that we have seen
with our own eyes. Why will col
ored men not prove to be men in all
things; when they have the chance?

PLANS TO BUY SIX
new 2.DECK BUSES
Company Would Improve Sixteenth
Street Service Despite
Protests.

The Washington Rapid Transit
Company answered the protests
against its double-deck busses and
especially the "rubbernecks" who ride
on top of them yesterday by applying
TO the Public Utilities Commission Tor
permission to purchase six new busses
of the two.deck type.
The total cost, the company IN
formed the commission, will be $7S.900.
Tho company plans to use some to
augment it's service on Sixteenth
street while others will be added to
the Petworth line.
It is apparent that officials or the
company do not take the recent at
tacks on the uble-deckers seriously.
as the application was closed with the
following: I'VE believe that pleasure
riding resulting from the use Of these
buses is a very wholesome form OF
recreation and that the public demand
for that sort Of transportation should
be met"
The chief criticism of the two-deck
busses is that the peppers" who ride
on the sun deck remove all veSt1ge or
privacy from the homes along the
route.
Those connected with the commits.
sion who show some disposition to dis
cuss the subject, express very can
didly the belief that a sky-gazing
pedestrian has a much greater chance
of being shocked.

MACREADY FLIGHT
RESULT IN DOUBT
First Test Shows No Record
Set, But Others May
Change Figures.
By the Associated Press.

DAYTON. Ohio, March 13.-
Lieut.. John A. Macready of Nc
Cook Field. today made another at
tempt to make a worlds altitude rec
ord, but whether he was successful
will not be definitely established un-
til official recording instruments
have been calibrated by the United
States Bureau Of Standards at
Washington. The unofficial reading
made by officials here showed the
veteran Army pilot had reached
39,025 feet-which Is SCI feet short
Of the record held by Lieut.. Callizo.
French aviator. This reading Nc
Cook Field officials say might be ex-
ceeded y some of the other instru-
ments as the one calibrated today
had worked imperfectly at a high
altitude, the mechanism apparently
having stopped for a time. The
other McCook barograph will not be
calibrated until next week.
Lieut.. Macready showed no ILL
effects Of the fight and asserted it
was Not quite so cold" as the fight
he made last month In an attempt to
set an altitude record. The tenn
perature according to the instru-
ments was "a degrees below zero.
Fahrenheit.
For several thousand feet. Lieut..
Macready said. the same plane he
used last month did not function
properly, a fouled spark plug forcing
him to land 10 minutes after his
first take off and although new set
of spark plugs was installed before
he made the second take off he still
experienced slight ignition trouble.
Officials at the field and the flyer
said that in case the official calibra-
ton failed to show that the altitude
record had been broken. Macready
probably would try again. When
he attempted to break the record
late in January and was forced
down by mechanical defects, the Of
fetal celebration made by officials
at Washington showed that he had
gone several thousand feet higher
than the unofficial celebration
showed. officials are hopeful that
the official celebration on today's
flight might show that Macready
broke the record.
Lieut.. Macready said. however.
that he had pushed his plane to the
limit today. At $4,000 feet he said
his LIQUID oxygen supply on which
he depends in rarefied air. gave out
and he was forced to use the emer-
gency tank Of oxygen.

Payment for 81 pairs of wooden

that such articles are proposed to

room. where machines filled with
caustic acid and soda ash are op-
Grated.

Optimism Increasing.

Despite the violence of tonight 8
polemics many of the delegates found
that the crisis had become less acute,
and acquired this impression partic-
ularly from personal statements made
by Chancellor Luther and DIR. StreSe-
mann. The Reich's foreign minister
placed some emphasis on the declara-
ton that Germany would naturally
be bound by the will of the ma jority
in connection with the reorganization
of the council. and would not oppose
any power. Some German circles in
terpreted THIS phase as a tacit promise
TO support Poland.
DIR. Stresemann, however, laid al
most equal emphasis %on the state
ment that Germany could not take up
the council problem before an inveS-
tigation by special commission COM
posed of members of both the council
and the assembly, because it would
be unreasonable to. construct the
council piecemeal and it must always
be kept in mind the necessity Of
maintaining the proper relation be-
tween the permanent and non-perma-
nent seats.
I'VE must continue the work for
general peace begun at Locarno." he
said, and he was convinced that all
the powers were desirous of settling
the situation. 1t would be utterly
shameful if the entire peace edifice
should crumble over the mere ques-
tion of procedure at the very moment
of placing the final stone.
This was also construed bv Ger
mans here as a bid for cancellation.

GROWING WEAKER
Physicians Bulletin Says
There Is No Immediate
Cause for Alarm.
By the Associated Press.

By the Ascot ated Press
PLYMOUTH, VT, March 13.-Col.
John c. Coolidge barely held his own
today in his battle for life. The single
bulletin issued during the day by his
physician indicated that the father OF
the President, who has been Ill at
home here for several months, had
weakened slightly since yesterday. The
bulletin added that there was mo
immediate cause for alarm"
DIR. Albert NJ. Cram Of Bridgewater,
the country doctor who has been Col.
Coolidge's physician during his long
sickness, held a ten-minute telephone
conversation with the President. When
the physician had finished he gave the
receiver to Col. Coolidge for a word
or two with the President, but At
of hiccoughing prevented the sick man
from speaking.
Attacks Are Frequent.
For some time, it was learned. Col.
Coolidge has had difficulty in carrying
on conversations because of similar
attacks of hiccoughing. The rare
visitors who have been admitted to
his bedside since he lost the use of his
legs as the aftermath of a heart affec-
ton have remarked this weakness and
also the failing of a once remarkable
memory.
The neighbors who assemble each
day in the general store of Miss Flor
ence Cilley, across the road from the
colonel's house. to hear news of the
squire were somewhat downcaSt
today. When DIR. Cram and his wife
came to Miss Cilley's for lunch after
the physician mad spent an hour and
a half with his patient, he was piled
with questions. While he declined to
enlarge on his short bulletin. DR..
Cram indicated that he had little hope
for permanent improvement in Col.
Coolidge's condition. The statement,
signed by the doctor, read:
"Col. Coolidge'S condition remains
unchanged except that he is slightly
weaker. He Is very comfortable. His
heart action has improved slightly. not
being so rapid, and Is nearly normal
as to rate. Temperature and respira-
ton are normal.
No Cause for Alarm Now.
There seems to be no cause for
immediate alarm as nothing has devel-
Oped during the past "a hours"
The growing weakness Of the So
year-old invalid was taken by the
neighbors and friends as a distinctly
unfavorable indication, and DR.. Cram,
although reticent of detail. made no
effort to correct the impression. Sew.
eral newspaper men who wished to re-
turn to their homes sought the physi-
clans opinion as to whether serious
developments might be expected soon.
II would not advise you to leave
for a few days." was DR.. Grams an
swer.
When DR.. Cram left for his Bridge.
water home he said he would not re.
turn until tomorrow, unless some
unexpected development in Col. Cooi-
idge's condition made 1t necessary"

Germans Deny Charge.

From allied circles came the report
that the German statesmen had made
1t clear that such a solution was unac-
ceptable 10 them. But later the Ger
mans denied this.
With the allies generally bringing
pressure on the Germans by conjuring
up the spectacle of d debate in the as
kembly might be unfavorable to the
reich, NJ. BRAND tonight told the
French journalists that 1t would be
exceedingly difficult for France to sup.
port the German candidacy for a per-
manent seat in the council unless she
has definite assurance in writing that
Germany will accept Poland on the
Council.
The French leader said that If
Poland is not in. the council the
Naunted Locarno spirit would be en-
tianSered, and remarked that If Poland
were absent France would have to
plead Poland's cause, thus being
obliged to shoulder extra difficulties.
He further asserted that 1t was un-
true, as alleged, that Sweden alone
up to now had prevented unanimity,
because Sweden Yesterday had accept
ed the allies compromise proposal con-
cerninS the Polish candidacy, pro-
rided Germany accepted it. AS Ger
many had rejected the compromise,
the situation had become complicated.
