By James Craig Gordon

We have watched this colored race
from the Middle Ages when they
were stolen by the million out Of
Africa until today when they boast
of their great metropolis within a
metropolis, Harlem.
We have seen now they have
fought a bitter fight, often what
seemed losing fight, often situa-
ton against prejudice, against cruel
injustice. a
And now we find them climbing
upward, the light of hope in their
eyes, the dream of new and beau
tiful racial destiny in their hearts.
What is the outcome likely to be?
Old Conflict Likely?
Is 1t likely that the old fires of
prejudice will be famed by these
new aspirations? Will the gauge
of color be thrown down again and
the old hates rise up for new con-
fiict? | do not believe it.
Instead / believe the white people
are going to cheer on the colored
people to win their battle.
| am optimistic enough to believe
that humanity creeps little nearer
to a complete civilization every 365
days-and | believe we now are
leaving behind US the blind toler-
ance Of the past.
Good Signs of Time
There are many who sneer and
doubt such sentiments. But there
are good signs that they may be
true, just the same.
For example, something happened
in Harlem a few weeks ago that
would fill any man with hope. The
white and colored business men of
Harlem met together and, with un-
animous enthusiasm, formed mer-
chants association.
Merchants, black and white, band
ed together for the Improvement OF
business!
Doesn't that speak eloquently of a
new trend of the times?
And such signs can be multiplied.

Colored Peoples Time

A white man who recently wrote
book about the life of black
people in large A m ric n
city takes cognizance of some of our
colloquilisms and puts glossary in
the back of his work. One of the
terms he defines is &c. p. T." C. p. T.
is the abbreviated form of the ex-
preston used among black people in
regard to dates and appointments. 1t
stands for "colored peoples time"
1t is ludicrous. humorous express
sion intended to reflect how we are
prone to be late for all appointments,
to disregard fixed time and to put
little premium upon punctuality II
admits that we are prone to- procras-
innate and the Holy Writ warns that
"procrP stination is the thief of time
An American capitalist, who a
short while ago was kept waiting for
two hours to address a body of rep
resentative black men, observed that
we would not get to heaven If we
went on the white mans time. He
was right. In the present hustle and
hustle of life c. p. T. will find us
with our lamps empty after the
bridegroom has come and gone.
This prevailing habit of disregard
ing time must be broken and we
must assemble at appointed hours,
keep our engagements as agreed up
on and cease our profligate waste Of
time.
AS we see it, there is no necessity
for us to be always late at church or
society. &c P" time has become a
fixed part in our lives. When in
church most of the preachers seem
to have no appreciation of time.
Time is an important element which
SO few of us appreciate. The would
be orator, thinks he has made a
speech only, when he has said every-
thing he has heard which he can call
to memory at that particular time
with several repetitions in "conclu-
sion."
Let's get out of that habit. Let's
move a Notch higher. Let the min
listers take the lead by preaching at
eleven" according to their an
nouncement on their bulletin board.
Let them study just little more so
their remarks can be finished within
| thirty minutes. Let them set up a
standard for the people. Let the
lodges and societies set the standard
by saying eight and meaninc eight.
"Time is money" Is the old yet,
timely saying. Let us put it to a
test. Surely we have run on "flat
tire time" long enough. Let's make
amends and see if we can't catch up.
If C. P. T. is a racial weakness We
should set about to overcome it be-
cause it reflects sadly upon us. If it
is a throw-over from slavery we
should expunge it from our environs
and replace it with punctuality.

Destroyed by Poverty

Somewhere in the Book of Prov
cribs you will find the following:
"A rich mans wealth is his strong
city
A poor mans destruction is his
poverty"
Wealth demands respect. Poverty
gets disresuect. This DOES not mean
that all rich men are resrectable, de-
cent and law abiding citizens. 1t does
not indicate that all poor people are
without character. There are large
number of wealthy people who are
unfit to have their wealth. And it is
Just as true that a large proportion
of poor people are law abiding, high
grade citizens. 1t is fact, however,
that those who use their money
wisely can do a greater service for
humanity than the man who has moth
ing.
Money carries with it tremendous
power for good or evil. In the me-
iority of instances poverty destroys.
1t often indicates laZiness and thrift
lessness. Almost everyone can save
something out of which he earns If he
will live a decent moral life The
man who squanders every cent he
makes in fast living is of all men to
be pitied. Unless he saves something
for the ''rainy day" truly his poverty
will destroy him.
We have observed two people
earning equal amounts of money. One
of them lives in a beautiful little
home. He has a decent family. His
children go to school every dav prop
erly dressed. He contributes regu-
larly to the church. The other one
lives in an alley. His family is rag
ged and half starved. His children
attend school dirty and half clad. He
gives nothing to the church. Every
one has observed similar conditions.
Why should this difference obtain
between two people who BEGIN life
equally? The first man lives a moral
life. He saves a small portion of his
small salary every week. In other
words he is thrifty. He has bank
account. Instead of throwing away
his money for moonshine LIQUOR and
gambling on Sunday he goes to
church. As soon as he has saved a
few hundred dollars he purchases a
small home. And up the ladder he
goes to future of independence.
Foolish people say he is lucky. These
who are wise understand that he is
thrifty.
The other man squanders all of
his money. Instead of going to
church on Sunday he gets drunk and
CANDLES all day on the Lords Day.
He has no bank account. He is new
err able to make payment on a
home.
There are exceptions to the rule.
Often sickness enters in and pre-
vents a person from going ahead
But the general rule obtains that
where man works and saves; where
he observes the ordinary habits OF
thrift and morality he can acquire 6
sufficient amount of the world;
goods to enable him to live to enjoy
the ordinary blessings of life.
If you have health and common
sense there is no excuse for being il
the pauper class. Open a saving
account in some bank. Add a few
dollars to it every week. You viii
be surprised to see how quickly sucl
process will take you out of tn,
pauper class.

Negro History
The Negro Laborer

Twenty Negroes were brought to
jamestown, Virginia. in 1919. and
were sold in service. They were not
enslaved, but were indentured as
servants; for one of the number
not only gained his freedom but be-
came later a stakeholder himself.
when most Negroes had been grad
ually debased to the condition of
slaves.
The Negro has made a distinct
contribution as a laborer. He sup
piled the demand for cheap labor
necessitated by the expansion of
trade in the commercial revolution.
To Negro labor belongs the credit
for opening the South, clearing the
forests. draining its swamps, and
preparing its soil for the culture
of sugar, rice. tobacco and cotton.
The Negro has enabled the upper
strata to produce what culture the
South can boast of today.

Death To Old Hatreds

birth anniversary recently, had been
listening to a group of five colored
jubilee singers and after they had
departed Judge Gary said:
81 believe that every one of those
colored persons is better Christian
than l and believe that in the long
run they will receive a greater re-
ward than | will"
: In a generation, single genera
ton, great miracles have come to
pass among the black folk. Out of
the depths they have come, sustained
by an unfaltering hope, prayerful
and intense, their eager faces look
ing toward the light. Nearer and
nearer with every day that passes
they approach the full glory Of that
light.
! can not believe our own people
would try to shut them away from
that light or plunge them back into
the pit of despair out of which God
is lifting them, in answer to their
prayers.
And do not believe they could
if they would.

The Negro Inventor

The Negro has not been merely
dull laborer. Out of his brain
has come the skill of the mechanic
and artisan. This aptitude has gone
still further, even to the extent of
producing in the ranks a number Of
inventors. Norbert Rillieux, Ne
gro of Louisiana, invented the Va
cum Pan which revolutionized the
refining of sugar. Benjamin Ban
neker, the noted astronomer and

of the first series of almanacs in

OUR AIR MAIL

Today is the first anniversary of
air mail service in Connecticut. Just
a year ago the line between Boston
and New York, via Hartford, was
inaugurated.
1t is announced that the daily air
mail OF this route averages 1900
letters per trip from Hartford. Post
master Erwin is authority for the
statement that a fair average Of air
mail a day is dispatched from New
Britain to Hartford, and as other
cities and towns around Hartford
also contribute to they total, not all
the air mail picked up at Hartford
is from that city.
The air mail has increased during
the year, as is evidenced from the
record Of the first day of its service
last year and the present average
rcord. On July /, 1926, il is an
nounced, there were 1,GO2 pieces of
air mail delivered in Hartford, most
of 1t being forwarded solely as a re-
suit of the opening of the line. The
months after that showed a dis
Eeartening falling off, but after rock
bottom was reached the pendulum
began swinging in the other direc
ton. and since the flat rate of ten
cents was inaugurated business has
become fairly good. The average to-
day Is larger than on the opening
Gay a year ago.
The first year of operation by the
Colonial Air Transport, Inc, there
fore. has been successful from the
standpoint OF gauging future de-
velopment. If anyone expected an
overwhelming success the first year
he was an a-optnist; perhaps
there were some of this species in

| A. It Is common to all nations.
and has been brought to a science
in countries as widely separated al
the United States. Turkey. India.
China and Japan. each Of which has
its own laws and methods for the
sport. The ancient Greeks held
wrestling In high repute. Milo Of

Of wrestlers in that country. Wrest-
ling tournaments existed in England
in the time OF the Plantagenets. but
it, appears to have been the pastime

ferring knighthood, anciently con-
sisting in an embrace, afterwards
