Aileen Pringle plays the leading
feminine role. She is ideally suited
to the difficult role of the sophis-

the stage production. Miss Pringle

LARGE SPRINGFIELD MEET
ATTENDANCE FORECAST By
EARLY CREDENTIALS

New York, May 16.- Large atten-
dance at the twenty-first Annual Confer
ence of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, in Spr-
ingfield, Massachusetts,, from June 70
through July l, is forecast by the early
receipt of delegates credentials now
coming to the National Office.
Newton. Kansas, plans to send one del
egate, accompanied by five other MEM
bers and friends, Marion, Indiana, has
appointed it's delegate as have New Bril-
tian and Plainville in Connecticut, Buff
falo and New Rochelle in New York, and
New Orleans, Louisiana, which is send
ing it's branch president, Dr.. George W.
Lucas, first delegate to announce he
would attend the conference.
The Marion delegate is Mrs. F. Z. Bal
ley. who is not only branch president
but also president Of the Indiana State
Conference of the N. A. A. c. P.
The victory in the Parker case hsa
enormously stimulated interest in the
coming conference of the N. A. A. G. P.
as it is now felt that long program
lies open before colored citizens Of
America. leading to the winning Of full
citizenship rights in all parts Of the
country.

while conditions remain as they are
today. While this istrue today l
hope to see the day when it will
not be so.
Needless to say, those senator's
who voted against the Hoover NOM
inee because of the Negro or the
labor vote did not dose because of
the respect in which they held the
Individual laborer nor the individ-
ual Negro, neither did they act out
of respect for the Negro as race
or the laborer as a class, but they
did so out of respect for the power
which the votes of the laborers and
Negroes WELD in their respective
States. When the southern Negro
atil;zes the power at his hand as
the northern and western Negro
does he can demand respect for
his wishes and not before.
The southern white man is like
any other man, he has an inherent
lust for power and he will do al
most anything to gain that power,
working on the theory that once he
is IN power he can arrange things
to suic himself; if you prove to
him That you can put him in office
or put him out of office he will
meet ycur demands. There are only
two things that the Negro can pos
Isess that the white man will openly
respect-Power and Money.
The Negro also wants power, but
he is not willing to go after it; he
must go after it, however, if he
gess it. Recogni ion, influence and
power for the Negro is like unto a
fortune placed on top of a TO-
story building and he has been
barred from using the elevator used
by the white man, so the only way
! he can reach is by climbing the
long winding stairway. 1t is a long
and tedious climb, but the reward
will amply justify the effort.

VIII the Negroes in the southern
States profit from the lesson to be
learned from the recent defeat OF
Judge John j. Parker at the hands
of the United States Senate, or viii
they raise a great shout and stage
a great hand-clapping over the VIC
tory won by Negroes of northern
and western States? 1t is true that
some southern Negroes working
through the N. A. A. G. P. aided
indirectly in Judge Parker's defeat,
but the mass of Negroes in the
south had no more to do with his
defeat than they did with his nomi-
nation. TIE Negro vote III the
south means no more to southern
senator's than the snap of mans
fingers means in the face of an
elephant.
While it is not claimed that Ne
gro voters were the direct cause
or the only factor in the judges
defeat, the fact remains and is ap-
parent to all thinking people that
the votes of the northern and wes-
tern Negroes played a large part in
bringing about Judge Parkers' de-
feat.
This latest display of strength
only verifies the writers contention,
to which he has held since 1922,
that the Negro can become power
in this country if he will but grasp
and make use of the weapon at his
hand. Who will say in the face Of
these facts that the Negroes vote
don't count? | have been told the
same old bunk to which l have In
variably replied that l would give
them the trouble of throwing my
vote out whether it was counted or
not. | get a kick out of casting
my vote, whether it is counted or
not makes little difference to me

DOERS

One of the main drawbacks to the
development of our group is our APP
parent lack of ability to do things.
And, by the way, this is one of the
liabilities that is seldom spoken OF.
We are so busy talking about what
we can do that we seldom stop to re-
ahze our lack of initiative in put
tings ovet. You can hear much
Dragging about what we can do, but
when we apply the great American
econoeic yard-stick to our accomplish
dents, they appear every minute
There was time when it was nee,
essary to decorate our writings ana
"fancifS" orr oratory in order TO
keep SD the morale of osr people, ana
keep their spirits housekeeping. But
now is tse time to face facts and put
some real truth into our .chanlurrlo TO
the end that we may develop the stay
ing qualities so necessary In these
high-powered and fast-moving times:
Firt, we must realize that most OF

the rules that were taught US ard
which are now being applied by u.s.
are antedated, and we must JUNK
ch,m and assimilate the new stand
ards of tho day. The colored man
must get up and yet going and keep
going. America is no lays mans
paradise. Again, we must learn to DO
more of the things that count and
not be in efficient in the things that
count for naught. For instance;
Ine Negro dresses as well as the
white man, looks just as important,
.alks just as proud, rides in just as
,Jod cars, CANDLES as well, drinks as
much liquor, breaks as many laws,
and we may go on ad infnitum-
when it comes to the things that
count for little; but when we get on
the asset side of the ledger of life,
mats where we pale into insignih-
canoe. We fail as doors, but shine as
takers.

 At co, the new commandant Is hale and hearty, every inch the soldier.

 GETS NEW FOSSIL
Fish Lizard Skeleton Many Years Old Added to Collection

Chicago. Aug, 15 UP) - The fossil skeleton of an ichthyosaurus - a fish-lizard which roamed the lands and seas more than 150,0OO.- 900 years ago, has been received by the chronological division of the department of geology at Field Mu- scum of Natural History here.
 The fossil, very complete and In excellent state of preservation ac- cording to officials. was found in a stone quarry in Bavaria, in a section from which lithographic shades are secured.
 The block of stone which conceal ed the fossil split directly along the skeleton revealing a clear impress sion of the fins and skin. This spec irlen was of a comparatively young fish-lzard. being about four feet long,
 According to Prof. Elmer S. Riggs, associate curator of paleontology, full grown ichthyosaurians have at tained lengths of 10 feet. This pre- historic creature had a fish like body with tail and fins. but with a long snout similar to that of a gar pike The jaws were lined with sharp teeth which made it easy for the fish-lizard to prey upon fish and other marine creatures.

MISSISSIPPI NOV BORDERING ALONG
Low Water Changes Character
 Of Turbulent River

Memphis, Tenn, Aug, 15.-P}- Father Mississippi has changed from a roaring wet to Q timid dry within a few months, much to the concern of those who depend on him for their daily bread
 Back in January the old river got full when he wasn't supposed to. tumbled home to the Delta and left mud all over the place.
 Now he is so low that his banks are parched and boats have a ter rible time getting along with him
 Dangerous ct flood stages. the river is a terror to navigators when abnormally low A long drought in the middle valley famished the Father Of Waters and he dropped from more than flood stage at Mem phis early this year to approximate ly 4.5 feet in July. That means the river was slightly more than four feet above the low water mark.
 The Delta section reports crops literally burned up and the old man, instead of rolling along, sneaks to the gulf.
 Navigation is surprisingly dan gerous. Most rtaffic on the river IS carried on by large steel barges tied together in tremendous tows. It is hard job to get big tow up or down river when it is running a good stream, but to get ore by at such low stages is almost miraculous.
 The remarkable part of it is not that few barges get pitched on sand bars. but that any them get by at such low stages.
