PEPPERY OUTFITS

Club Severely.

Through with the East for a time, the
Nationals now hav? nothing 10 90 Tor

toughest opposition they can find III
the American League. Iac&iing the
Western bunch Of the Barnard circuit
this season is no snap Two Of the
bunch have been moving along at tine

two other teams Of the lot are not
weaAllnes by any means.
This Cleveland team has made all the

is no such thing as exporting IN base

Then there's St. Louis. The club

BOTH RACES OFFER BLOOD
TO SAVE NEGRO WOMAN

Columbia, S. Grace prejudice
was forgotten here Monday when it
was announced by authorities of the
Columbia Hospital that blood trans
fusion was necessary to save the life
of Mrs. Rena Cornish, and volunteers
were requested. Members of both
races gathered at the hospital offer
ing the necessary blood.
After tipping the blood of several
individuals, Miss Helen Ford, a col
Ored woman, was accepted, and the
TRANSMISSION made. While it was not
certain that the sick woman's life
would be saved the action on the
part of colored and white volunteers
has been pronounced as most encor-
aging to those interested in bringing
about amity between the races, and
Miss Ford has been acclaimed a real
heroine.
The TRANSMISSION was successfully
effected and Miss Ford suffered no i'll
effects. When she left the hospital
she told the physicians that if neces-
sary she would give more blood to
save the stricken woman. Others,
however, are being typed, and if a
second TRANSMISSION is necessary an
other volunteer will be used.

VITAL ISSUES ARE
STRESSED In AD-
DRESS TO PEOPLE
National Advancement Association
Closes Los Angeles Conference
With Clarion Call to
Intelligent Action
DIsFRANcHIsEMENT SCORED
Discrimination in Educational Oppor-
tunities Condemned Cleveland
Chosen for Next
Session.

Los Angeles, CaL-CIosing their
seven-day national conference In Los
Angeles, the National Association for
! the Advancement Of CoIored People
made public its address 10 the Amer
lean people which sets forth the atti-
tude Of the association on public
questions. The address in part Is as
follows:
''The year Of the presidential cleo
ton brings forcibIy to the mind OF
every American coIored or white cit
izen the insistent problem Of demo-
cratic government In the United
states. The n. A A. C. P. reiterates
its charges that the disfranchisement
Of the majority Of intelligent adult
Negroes in the United States is not
simply a race problem. Il Is q prob
lem Of democracy and it affects the
entire nation and the whole world"
The association points out that In
disfranchisement of 3,75O,0 color
ed voters in the south, 5000, 900 Of
the southern white voters have been
deprived Of the franchise. The re-
port continues:
Thus democratic government IN
the United States has become a farce,
primarily because for the sake Of dis
franchising Negroes part of white
America has been willing to disfran-
chise itself. Despite an increase of
100 per cent in the voting population
of the eleven southern states there
has been practically no increase in
the number of voters in a genera
ton"
Pointing out that for the first time
IN generation there was passed in
the United States period of 120 days
when a human being has not been
lynched, they assert that If it can be
lessened by local initiative it can be
wiped out by national enactment and
urge a federal lynching law.
The association urges the use of
political power TO abolish disenfran-
chisement and segregation of the Ne
gro.
Deploring the means of education
afforded the eolored people in dis
crimination of salaries of teachers,
length of school terms, provision of
housing and equipment and claiming
such discrimination illegal, the asso-
citation urges that it be remedied by
the ballot and court action.
"Our economic situation is still
precarious and deplorable. We de-
nounce the secret enmity toward
workers which is still manifested by
those American trade unions which
|acquiesce in discrimination toward
them and in opposition to their en-
ployment. We should refuse to use
our political power to advance the
cause Of white unionism if it stands
for color discrimination"
Next years convention city was
named as Cleveland, Ohio, at busiI
ness session, at which one delegate
from each branch reported on the ac-
tivities of his branch during the past
year.

URGES
EFFORT TO DEVELOP
THE BLACK RACE

Toronto, Can.-Unless the south
assists the Negro IN expressing him
self IN political and civic affairs, II
viii find itself in 2 more embar-
RAISING position than ever before, -
Rev. John Hope, of Atlanta, Ga, told
the fourth congress Of the Baptist
World Alliance recently.
Coming TO America in slavery and
ignorance, the Negroes have adopted
the white mans language, but a great
many feared the white majority.
They were afraid, he said, that the
whites, dominant in numbers, wealth
and political power, would continue
10 thwart the development Of the
Negroes.
He expressed the idea that the Ne
gro was prevented from expressing
himself politically, and added:
"UnIess this condition is changed,
l expect to see my native south IN q
more embarrassing position than If
has even been before, even in the
civil war"
Prof. W. T. Connor, Of Fort Worth,
said he placed character formation as
one Of the most important functions
Of the theological school.
"A theological seminary" he said,
"ought not to be a cold storage plant,
the atmosphere OF which is so frigid
that the zeal Of the student is frozen
to death"
