George Thompson, president of the

association, early Monday evening.
A white doorman questioned them
whether or not they were on the way
to attend the association meet. Re-
ceiving an affirmative reply, the
doorman directed the two men to
the Chancellor Street entrance to the
elevator.
Both Mr.. Marques and Mr.
Thompson refused to submit to the
order Mr.. Thompson sent word for
Mr.. Clarke, the president, to come
| to the front door, but received 9
reply that the president was toe
busy to come down. After waiting
few moments, Mr.. Thompson used
the freight elevator and went after
the busy president.
They both returned to the pave
ment, where Mr.. Marques awaited
them, Mr.. Clarke by the passenger
elevator, and Mr.. Thompson by the
freight elevator.
An indignant protest was made
to the president by the two men
Clarke disclaimed any responsibility
for the jim crow arrangement anc

Marques left, but Thompson, US

That person, the confession said,
was James J. Smith, 40. also a
Negro.
Harris told the police of inviting
Smith into his home. crushing his
head with an automobile axle 'just
to quiet him." then stabbing him
through the heart on the altar.
When Smiths body was found
found on the crude altar the eight
inch sacrificial knife was thrust

In detail, Harris described the
stage setting for the sacrifice. Pres

Harris said Smith first declined to
become a human sacrifice to the
Gods of SIAM" but that when

savior of the world and go to
heaven right away, he said all

Haf-White Negroes
Cross Color Line
Continued from cage one. !

Of the 35 persons who went over
into the white race she said Is had
one quarter Negro blood, i had
three-eighths Negro blood, and / of
them had one-half Negro and one
half white blood.
Answering the question. Should
the Negro be absorved into the
population of the United States9n
Miss Bond declared this has been
going on for $50 years.
One of the difficulties in collect
ing material she said, was the fear
of exposing those members of
colored family who had gone over
on the other side.
Among the early ancestors of the
families studied, Mrs. Day recorded
243 unions between Negroes and
white persons, and go of these were
between white men and Negro wom-
en-. All but three of these took place
before the Civil War. All but Is of
these white men raised both a col
ored and a white family.
In Is cases the women were white
and men Negro.
Conclusions in Skin Color
Very dark skins are found only
in pure Negroes, according to the
study. The lighter the skin, the more
white blood usually, and the sooner
the teeth fall out.
Women with the same proportion
of white blood are lighter than men
ldue probably to outstanding expos
ure). A person with only one-half
Negro blood may have pinkish-
white skin. Persons differing in
blood proportions to the extent of
five-eighths may have the same skin
color.
Hair texture is regarded as a clear
index to the amount of Negro or
white blood. Straight and wavv hair
are rarely found in persons with less
than one-half white blood. Fri2zled
hair is absent in persons with more
than one-half white blood. Men have
higher proportion of coarse hair
than women.
Noses and lips get thinner as the
amount of white blood increases, and
eyebrows get thicker.
The more white blood, the bigger
the ears and the more the chin sticks
out.
The more colored blood, the longer
the arms and the taller person is
when he sits down.
Full Blood
According to the study, Negroes
who are of unmixed blood, are just
as capable of achievement along all
lines as those who are mixed. II
light skinned people seem to get
ahead faster, it is entirely due to
| SOtf1t carly tNoboIHiN VI 1to'toi oi a'
vantages accruing to the progeny OF
white fathers or mothers. Because
of these very circumstances and in
addition to these, it has ALWAYS been
easier in most parts of the country
for light colored person to obtain
employment and to get along in var
ious ways with more ease than his
darker brother. This holds true fire.
quently in even the most humble po-
stions.
Notwithstanding handicaps and
our position, some of the most prom
inent figures in the Negro world to-
day, are men and women with little
or no white blood. The second
wealthiest man in this study has no
suggestion of any, except Negro
blood; one of the most enterprisinP
women and one of the most brilliant
men, are also proud Of the fact that
they have Negro blood.

ToReta Returns to the Evening Mode Time for Holiday Parties

Tafffeta as a really smart
evening fabric was revived last
August. by Lanvin at her fall
opening. She presented the
most gorgeous gown Of silver
and pale blue taffeta, with
scarcely any bodice in the back,
but a lovely long graceful skirt
that was rather plain in front,
but wide in the back, so 1t
trailed out in regal manner be-
hind the wearer as she walked.
You probably saw it photo
graphed in fashion magazines
or Sunday supplements of the
newspapers, for it was shown
and acclaimed in America i'm
mediately.
With Metal BrOcade
We've been watching for taf-
fetaS ever since, for so beauti-
full and popular a gown cannot
fail to have its effect. At last
they're in town, and to our
great Joy, in a moderate price
line, so that the young and
beautiful who are still in school,
or just out, can wear them.
There is the same type fabric
that Lanvin showed, taffeta
with metal stripes in It, and
then there is flowered taffeta
with metal figure brocaded in
Such materials are usually very
expensive, but by some good
fortune, they are now made into
gowns to sell for SIS, which is
the price of the ones we have
had photographed for you to-
day.
On Princess Lines
One girl wears the striped
gown that Is so much like the
Lanvin success. 1t comes in
several lovely combinations,
ivory. blue and ashes of rose,
or black, red and gray, or
orchid, ivory and green, all with
metal stripes. The square
higher neck is new, and the
back is the smart strap effect.
The flowered gown comes with
white, background and various
colors in the flowers, or with a
rusty rose background. Both
have metal brocade figures. The
puffed sleeves and princess line
make this frock more Victorian
looking, though its high front
and low back proclaim it very
new, too. Both dresses come in
Junior sizes II to II, and seem
smartest when they are very
long.
