TANKS WILL LEAD AMERICAN LEAGUE
 TO BASEBALL'S PEAK, BARNARD SAYS
sl.tsrnAtionaI NswrssaS

CHICAGO, July 20.-A bigger and better American League in 1930 is the prediction of President E. s. Barnard
 By bigger he means more fans will click the turnstiles daily, and by better, an evenly balanced cir cult that will assure a hot pennant race.
 In the present New York Yan- kees, Barnard sees the team that augurs we'll for the future success of the league. The Yankee man. agement is furnishing a high mark at which other club owners are shooting by acquiring promising young ball players.
 These young diamond stars should be going at top speed with in another two years with the re- suit that the league will be more evenly balanced At least, that is the way the leagues chief execu- tive sizes up the situation.
 While admitting the Yankees have hurt the league, President Barnard contends that the weather has done even more damage.
 The American League looked forward to more promising sea- son." said the president. Sans scandal and with perfect harmony existing between the club owners and management, we were predict ing successful year from both fans and players standpoints. But the cold. damp weather slowed up the training season; many players were sick as the result and the bad weather cut decidedly into the early attendance"
 However, Barnard is not wor- ried about the future. Every club is built solid financially and can stand to take a loss in view of building up for the future, he said
 He scorns the idea that some- thing drastic will have to be done in Chicago and Detroit to save the two clubs from utter ruin. Condi- tions in each place, he declared, will work out all right as better young players become available.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Field Museum has specimen of a duck that could not be bought for $5,00O.
 It is the extinct Labrador duck, scarcer than the great aux, says Dr. Wilfred Osgood, curator of zoology. Field Museum pos sesses two mounted specimens, a male and a female. In the whole world, there are only 45 stuffed ducks of the breed.
 The bird formerly inhabited the northeast coast of America, and suddenly became extinct more than fifty years ago, since which time no living example of it has been seen.

TWO BUSINESS MEN
HELD IN SHOOTING.
Chicagoans Are Arrested for
Questioning in WOunding
of Foot Ball Player.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 13-Two busi-
ness men today were drawn into the
case of John Archer, Northwestern Uni
versity foot ball player, severely wound
ed by gunfire early Sunday morning.
Phillip L. Mckee, president of the
American Greenhouse Manufacturing
Co., and D. T. Church, real estate
dealer, were taken to detective head
quarters for questioning by Commis-
sioner Siege.
Mckee in Car, Belief.
Siege believes Mckee was in the au-
tomobile from which Acher was shot.
The shots were fired, the commissioner
believes, by gangster guests of Mckee.
McKee'S arrest came after he re-
ported that his automobile, which an
swers the description of the car from
which Acher was shot, had been stolen.
Detectives found the car short dis
tance from where Mckee reported it
had been stolen.
The car when found was locked. The
right front fender was dented and on
the running board was paint such as
was scraped off Acher's car when the
gunmen's machine glanced against it,
starting the alteration which led to
the shooting.
Mckee and Church told detectives
they had been drinking together Satur-
day night and early Sunday and that
Mckee had driven Church home about
midnight. Mckee then went to a
cabaret. he said, and remained until
am. Sunday.
Two CabaretS Are Raided.
Two cabarets were ordered raided and
man and woman, whose identities
were not made known, were arrested.
The condition of 'Acher, substitute
fullback who played in part of the
was reported early today by his physi-
clan as dangerous" One of the bullets
was removed from against his spine.

A CENTENARIAN PASSES ON

Mrs. Margaret Brown passed away
March Ia at II: so p. m. at the home
of her youngest daughter, Mrs. W
W Mosley, 1885 Rose street, and
after being seven weeks belfast,
though having been in failing health
for some time Mother Browne was
born in Winchester, KY, on May 10,
1928. Hence, her age is reckoned at
SO years, 10 months and four days.
She came to Lincoln with her fam
lily about As years ago from Law
renee, Kansas, prior to which she
came west years before. Her family
was mostly reared in Lincoln.
She was the widow of Mack Brown,
who died in March, 1894. Of their
union 13 children were born, six of
whom still survive her. At her bed
side were three daughters, Mrs. Irene
Mosley, Mrs. Naomi Wright, and Mrs
Telitha Lindsey; two sons-in-law, w.
w. Mosley, J. T. Wright, both of
Lincoln. The oldest daughter, Mrs
j. H. Malone of Monrovia, Cal, the
grandson, T. H. White, Elsinore, Cal. !;
two sons, Mack Brown of Lawrence,
Kansas, and William Brown of juno
ton City, Colo, were not present.
Mother Brown professed hope in
Christ long years ago and has ever
since lived devout Christian life, al
ways attended church, and cared for
her family until they became of age
and able to go for themselves. She
was a charter member of Mount Zion
Baptist church, in which she was in
terested in the welfare of until her
last.
The funeral was held quietly in
Henry Browns undertaking parlors
Friday at 2 p. m. Rev. H. w. Bolts
of Mount Zion Baptist church was in
charge. Rev. M. C. Knight, pastor
of Quinn Chapel A. NJ E., read the
scripture after which Rev. Mr. Bolts
delivered the obituary. He chose the
following text: Job 5:23 from which
he delivered most profound sermon
that was well taken by his hearers,
as it described the manner in which
the deceased lived, and her fixed re
ward in the ending of life's career on
earth. Pail bearers were Prof. w. r.
B. Alexander, Nimrod Ross, Robert
Granger, C. C. Stith, George B. Todd.
Floral offerings were fine. May
those whom she left behind emulate
her life. Interment in Wyuka.

"Blue-Blooded" People
Fauorites of Fortune

There is. of course, no blue blood.
but the term, generally used in COM
plimentary sense as denoting gentle
birth, does really bark back to color
origin. Not of blood, though. The
reference is to the color of the veins
Families who through several gen
erations possessed sufficient wealth to
enable them to escape manual work
developed skins of very fine texture.
and through the latter the veins
showed blue That would be espe-
cially apparent in the hands and fore
arms. The skins of those who, TN
blessed with wealth. had to work be-
came hard, and the veins were hardly
discernable
Thus, although "biue-veined" or
"fine-skinned" would have been more
correct, the term "blue-blooded" came
into use to denote the aristocracy, and
1t would seem, from old writings that
1t was the popular belief that the
term expressed the literal fact.-Kan-

APRIL CRISIS PUBLISHES
SCHOOL STUDY OF
NEGROES IN OKLAHOMA

New York City-The April num-
Der of the Crisis magazine, out short
ly, publishes the fourth in the series
of studies of common school educa-
ton for Negroes in southern states,
the present study Analysing condi-
tions in Oklahoma. The article is
written by Horace Mann Bond, M. A.,
and shows that school figures indi-
cate a decreasing Negro population
in Oklahoma owing to the northward
and southwestward migration.
Commenting on the low attendance
figures for the state, Mr.. Bond
writes: Attendance figures show
such disgracefully low averages for
most of the counties of the state that
it is obvious that many children are
receiving but little profit from their
irregular attendance"
Other features of the April Crisis
include picture Of the late DR.. Mat
thew Anderson, with eulogy by
DIR. Francis Grimke; "Bathesda of Sin
ner's Rum" a story by Maude Irwin
Owens; and articles and news about
the Negro compiled from magazines
and newspapers of the world, includ-
ing those of East, West and South
Africa.
