PHYLLIS WHEATLEY GLEE
CLUB MAKES ANNUAL TOUR

Christmas Eve, at 8 o'clock, the
Phyllis Wheatley Glee Club found
itself comfortably installed in a
warm motor bus ready to begin a.
nights journey throughout the city
and its environs to carry the mes
sage of the Christmas season,
through their carol singing.
Many homes were visited before
8 a. m, when the singers wound
up at the home of one of their
members whose illness had pre-
vented his joining them. The
clubs reception was most cordial
throughout and the singing well
coined wherever it went. The club
enjoyed itself hugely, especially
when it came to disposing of the
fine lunch prepared by Miss w.
Gertrude Brown. James Burk, the
sick member, remained up until the
wee sma' hours to welcome his
teammates with a seasonal drink
and some most delicious cake. The
Glee Club through its carol singing
has made the name of Phyllis
Wheatley a household word all over
this city and their coming on
Christmas Eve is eagerly awaited
in many quarters.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
PRESENTED

The Nativity" at Phyllis Wheat
ley last Sunday afternoon was pre-
sented even more successfully than
in its previous showing at the Y.
M. C. A. The portrayal of the
scenes at the birth of the Saviour
were most impressively done. The
part of the Madonna, taken by Miss
Atha Moore, was particularly fine
reproduction of the sweet and in
nocent mother of the Christ child.
The pantomime of Archie James,
a prophet, was realistic. Wise men,
shepherds and the people of that
Jay were appropriately costumed.
Little Hobart Mitchell, Jr., as a
shepherd lad, was especially ap-
pealing. The carols were very eff
fectively rendered-indeed, the en-
tire production was spoken of by
many present as the most beauti-
full ever given at Phyllis. The
sonorous and even tones of the
Elder A. Gaynes Thompson, as he
retold the story of the wond'rous
night, added much to the illusion
of reality. The Glee Club and the
Dramatic Club of Phyllis Wheatley
joined in staging the presentation.
1t was written by Fenton Spence,
dramatic teacher of the house. A
large and appreciative audience
was present.
Miss Marionne PEBBLES enter
tanned at Christmas dinner Tues
day, December 25. The guests
were: Frances and Estalyn Wag-
ner of Grand Forks, N. D., and
Miss Dolores Johnson, and Messrs.

performances in the past few
months. 1t has been trained by
Elder A. Gaynes Thompson, pastor
Of the Beacon Light Church, and
has been heard in many churches
throughout the city. In addition

tired out of gunshot range and de-
cided that they had better not lynch
Harris after all. But even in this
decision they were late because
Harris had already been dressed in
soldiers uniform and spirited out
of the town. He is back in Nash
vile awaiting another trial, which
will be in another town, yet to be
announced. The mob, not to be OUT
done, however, waited until troops
had withdrawn from the court
house when, in show of bravado,
it selected a committee to set fire
to the century-old structure that
had been the pride of the town.
And so, amid shouts and Christmas
carols and curses, the famous old
building went up in flames early
Thursday morning.
And now, all is quiet once more
in Shelbyville. Tennessee has
proved, for the first time, that it
can prevent a lynching, even if it
becomes necessary to use force.
And this determination on the part
of Tennessee authorities will have
but one effect-to make lynching
unpopular in that state.

THE OLD MASTER STILL GOOD

That prince of billiards, known
all over the United States as "Old
Folks" is still the "Old Master"
when it comes to pushing the
worries around. There is no more
exciting hour than one spent at
Bells Recreation Parlor, watching
some young and ambitious billiard
list trying to take the "Old Mas
ter's" scalp. Years have weakened
his vision somewhat, but the old
heart and the steady nerve are yet
there to aid the consummate skill
that enables him to outpoint them
all.
Billiards, called the Gentle
mans" game, is one of the finest
of sports. 1t requires patience,
study, practice, and a love Of the
game for the games sake. 1t does
not lend itself to gambling, the
great drawback that attaches it
self to most sports like card play
ing, horse racing and the like.
Young men who want excitement
and the impetus of rivalry might
we'll be encouraged to indulge more
often in this major sport. It's good
exercise for the mind and the
physique; it develops judgment and
fair play. So, "Old Folks" as he
goes on his way teaching the young
ideas on how to shoot, does a good
thing for himself, as he wards off
the encroachment of the years and
a good thing for the young fellows
whom he inspires with a yearning
to defeat him. There is no better
fun than watching their frantic eff
forts to do it.

The American Torpedo

The American torpedo La pro-
PEELED by balanced turbines. The
torpedo In general use Is the shape
Of q cigar. 1t carries In its nose
q charge of $50 pounds Of guncot-
ton, which is exploded by concus-
sion when 1t strikes the object
aimed at. Abaft the explosive
chamber is an air chamber contain
ing the compressed air, which sup
plies the motor power. Behind this
air space is a balance chamber con-
tanning the steering apparatus for
directing the rudders. Behind this
again are the engines to revolve the
shaft running to two screw propel-
lers. Each torpedo contains 1900
separate parts and Is small sub

Letters ass" in Documents

The letters "SS" in legal docu-
ments are the abbreviation Of the
Latin word "scIlicet," which means
ito w.t." "that is to say" namely"
The word "silicet" In English is
pronounced ''sil-i-set," with the &C
cent on the first syllable. 1t Is de-
rived from two Latin words,
"scire," to know, and "licet," 1t Is
permitted. Hence "scilicet" lit
orally means st In permitted to
know" Like many other Latin abb
breviations, the letters ass" are a
relic Of the days when all legal
documents In England were writ
ten In Latin.

(By M. Masloff, Secy. /. L. d.


For the third time, the Mime
sofa state pardon board has denied
a pardon to Ernest McDufy, young
Negro mechanic, framed at Anoka,
Minnesota, and railroaded to prison
after less than 10 minutes delibera-
ton before Judge Matthias Baldwin
in the District court in Minneapolis.
The international Labor Defense,
which has been fighting for the re-
lease of McDuffy since his inn
prisonment in st. Cloud, forced the
officials that were behind the
frame-up to appear before the last
session of the pardon board. It
was evident to everyone that was
present that these officials were ex-
tremely prejudiced, that they had
never presented any evidence in
the case, and were unable to de-
fend their position before the par
don board. Their attempts to deny
that McDuffy was threatened with
lynching as was reported in the
daily press at the time, sounded
shallow.
Who are the members Of the par
don board that denied a pardon TO
Ernest McDuffy, while freeing
gangsters and criminals at every
session. The members are Gov
ernor Floyd B. Olson, who has
stated that if it was up to him
alone, McDuffy would be free to-
day. The second member is States
Attorney Peterson, who stated that
even if the so-called confession"
forced by threats out of McDufy
were true, that the most that he
should have received is 80 days In
the work farm. The third member
is Chief Justice Devaney, who was
appointed originally to that Office
by Governor Olson and who re-
ceived the endorsement of the
Farmer-Labor Party in the last
election.
Why was it that the pardon
board delayed making decision
In the case until after November
9Th? The answer is obvious. The
elections took place on November
9th.
The international Labor Defense,
therefore, calls upon every organi-
cation, Negro and white, to i'm
mediately send in resolutions Of
protest to each member of the par
don board, and to demand that an
immediate and unconditional re-
lease be granted to Ernest McDuffy,
who has already served twelve
times the 80 days that Attorney
General Peterson spoke about. De-
mand that the Farmer-Labor Party
leaders carry through in action
what they pretend in their election
speeches-that they put an end to
frame-ups of Negroes in Mime
sofa, and that they begin by freeing
Ernest McDuffy, who has repeated
ly proclaimed his innocence, and
who also has repeatedly been denied
the right to appear in person before
the pardon board.
