Waters met with approval.
While the audience listened, con-
fident that their favorite. II year
old Margaret Long of Hot Springs,
Ark, would be announced winner of
second prize, the slow. steady voice
of Judge Hueston rumbled over the
amplifiers:
'sThe judges have awarded second
prize Of $500 to Miss Alma Make,
of Atlanta, Ca" 80
There was a short gasp from the
audience, and as the l5-year-old girl
high school graduate youngest
speaker stepped smilingly forward
to receive her award, only a few
members of the throng applauded.
Murmurs of disapproval came from
the lips of the others.
Again Judge Hueston stepped to
the micrCphone. and again the
crowd waited expectantly. Another
sappointment--.thi prize of $l25
went to Miss Ruth Hood, l5-year
old high school girl of Terre Haute,
Ind, who suffered from slight

When fourth prize of $100 was
/ given TO l7-year old Edna Burke,
bell voiced speaker from Washing
ton, the crowd had stopped its NUT
tering somewhat, but sat with tense,
excited faces. The awarding of fifth
prize of SIS to Miss Anastasia Scott,
pretty contestant from Des Moines,
Ia, gave the crowd its first chance
to explode some of its pent up an.
ger.
Miss Scott, daughter of promi,
nent physician, was thought by most
of the audience to deserve third
place. She presented with a bou'

from those who with the assistance
of our votes are TO be placed in

ing, not by implication, but by eX-
press words, where he or they stand
on the manhood rights OF the
American Negro.
After reciting efforts made to get
an expression at Kansas City from
Republican party leaders. Hueston
expressed conclusions OF colored po-
litical leaders attending the national
convention as follows:
I'VE concluded that the party
leaders felt that they could treat us
as they had because they believed
Negro leaders were so hungry for
power and place that they would
stand for this treatment themselves
and then conceal il from the rest
OF the race in order to get the race
vote so that they, in turn, might
profit thereby.
I'VE concluded that the white Re-
publican party leaders depended on
that we would stand for any kind of
treatment and still vote the Repub-
lean ticket. We also concluded that
these leaders were of the opinion
that if they got rid Of us they could
get the white South, and therefore,
would not need us. So. finally, we
concluded that a national organiza-
ton of Negro voters was needed,
We elected temporary officers and
adjourned to meet here for perma-
nent organization setting off as the
justification of our existence the
following purposes:
| ITO have for its purpose the full
! acknowledgements of the American
Negro. To ascertain where the Ne
gro stands in the Republican party.
| TO play with pitiless publicity on
/ those of our race who vote in poll
teal conventions and elsewhere
/ against race interests and then seek
prominence and priority as the price
therefor" .a

PERMANENT HOUSING
UNDER WAY FOR ARMY
Present Construction Assures Good
Quarters to Meet Needs of
Many Soldiers.

All but $4,000 of the 10000 enlisted
men of the Army, who as late as 1925
were quartered in wooden cantonments
of wartime construction, will be in
stalled in permanent, up-to-date bar
racks as soon as the construction. now
under way. authorized or for which
money has been appropriated, is COM
pleted, according to a report made to
the War Department by Gen. William
E. Horton. chief of the construction
service, Quartermaster Corps.
Since the beginning of the Army
housing program in March. 1896. he
says, Congress has appropriated S2l,-
600 900 for that work. in addition to
which the Secretary of War has been
authorized to make contracts for S.
600 900 additional expenditures. Funds
available under the 1927, 1923 and 1920
programs will provide modern housing
for 1,190 officers. 1855 non-commis-
stoned officers, 25,415 enlisted men, 1897
hospital patients and 311 nurses.
1t is estimated that the authorized

S25,000,000 by 1883 for new construc-
ton

preparations are available, include the

INDIAN PROBLEM
STUDY CONTINUED
Question of Governments
Policy Is Occupying Con-
ference Here.

The Interior Department is at grips
with the problem involving the Indians
and the question of the future policy
Uncle Sam will pursue in their behalf
Experts, who have been in session since
last Monday, arranged yesterday to
continue their conferences all through
tlhG week. Paramount on the pro-
an is the question: Should the pol
icy of the American Government be to
keep the Indian on the reservations
after educating them in the various
schools or provide ways and means for
their assimilation by the white man, SO
they can become part OF the prevailing
civiliZation?'
The survey of the Indian problem
made by the Institute for Government
Research. with headquarters at 26 Jack
son place. and released last May, is be-
ing made the basis for the series OF
conferences at the Interior Depart
ment. This survey, made at the re-
quest of former Secretary Hubert
Work. was submitted by DR.. W. F. Will
loughby, director of the institute, late
in February, and the Secretary author
lied the institute to print 1t in full.
The survey recommended increased
appropriations by Congress to make
possible employment of a more compe-
tent personnel and an increased atten-
ton to social and economic problems as
'ontrasted with those that are adm!n-
istrative The survey pictured the In
dian as being in desperate plight, with
poverty, low vitality, high death rate
living conditions conducive to disease
and adjustment to the dominant
white civilization as his lot.
Summing up the present condition
of the Indians. the survey report spoke
of their lack of adjustment to the So
cial and economic conditions OF the pre-
vailing civilization which confrontS
them"
The Interior Department experts are
going through the survey and endeavor-
! ing to ascertain which suggested i'm
provements are practicable under the
| present scheme of things and those that
are not
Participating in the conference are
! Calvin H. Asbury, superintendent OF

Institute in Kansas; John A. Buntin

American Expenditures for Education
Increased 23O Per Cent In Last 18 Years

was approximately $500.oOO, ,oO0," he
said, "and in 1926 we spent for the
same purpose approximately S2,000,000,-
900. After making allowances for The
change in the purchasing power Of the
dollar and increased population We
would still show an increase of 180 per
cent.
LAS a result of the continued rapid
increase in the income of the people of
the United States and the resultant
shortening of working hours" he said
''onc of the serious problems of pubic
education today is the provision of that
type of education that will enable mon
and women 10 use their leisure time to
best advantage.
There is no good reason why these
who work in our modern industries
should not by virtue of the education
which they have had, get satisfaction in
music literature and the othsr fine
arts; nor are there any good reasons
why they NAV not within the limits of
their capacities continue their interest

PARIS, November 1.-THE principal
preoccupation of all governments con-

of enlisting an American to join the
committee of experts to make final set

A reply to the German suggestion to
have independent experts has not been
made pending an inquiry relative to
sentiments at Washington. owen D.
Young is prominently mentioned as
the man to sit on the committee.
The proposal of Francis Coty, mil
lionaire perfume manufacturer who
publishes four newspapers In Paris,
that France should ratify the war debt
agreements Immediately and then enter
into negotiations with Germany with
two ratifications in hand. with view
to securing the German agreement to
pay. is muddling the situation. Gen.
orally the policy of Premier Poincare
is favored as subtler and as efficient.
He has hinted strongly that the Cham
Der of Deputies Is to put off ratifying
the debt agreements until he can say
that the French debt to England and
America is covered by Germany's pay
ments to France.
