HERE and
THERE
By w. M. Smith

It has been called to our atten-
ton that the later issues of Sun
day school literature prepared by
the cOlOred Baptist Publishing
House of Nashville, Tenn, are free
from the Objectionable advertising
that for so long has spoiled its
pages for many readers. For this,
the publishing house deserves the
commentator of the many of its
people who have continued their
patronage in the face of this and
other weaknesses.
The Baptist denomination boasts,
perhaps not unduly, of it's major
numbers in the field of Negro re-
ligionists. It has been a sad COM
mentary that the support given it's
publication house by the great
denomination has not been large
enough to permit its successful
operation without the aid of the
pernicious advertisement that fas-
tens itself upon the weaker pub
locations of the group to their
great detriment and the embar-
rassment of those whose loyalty
induces them to endure it.
To those of us who allow any
but the most drastic reasons to I'M
dermine our patronage of race
jOurnals-sacred or prOfane-it
should be a major argument that
if our own people fail to support of
such ventures, surely, we may not
expect such support to come from
any other group. The great i'm
prOvement in Negro journalism as
shown by the several really great
Negro weeklies in recent years, is
owing almost entirely to the faith
full support of thousands of Negro
readers who have understood this
and have stood behind weak pub
locations until they have grown
strong.
The Baptist Publishing House is
an outstanding example of the
desperate struggle this business is
making to overcome shortcomings
and to win the support of it's peo-
pie in the face of it's admitted
weaknesses. It has done a great
deal already in the way of giving
employment and trade education
to many young men and women
of the race, to whom such oppor-
tunity is otherwise denied.
1t is gratifying to record that it
is accepting as rapidly as possible,
every chance to improve its out
put and increase the value of its
contribution. The Baptist people
should reaffirm their faith in the
native ability of it's responsible
leaders to produce a work worthy
of their pride, the support given
it should be as generous as can
possibly be offered.

Children's Day

It was par excellence the day of
the children. They came in be-
wildering numbers. For the most
part they filled the pavilion and
the surrounding territory; men and
boys sought adjacent ball fields.
Young folks rode over the grounds
on rented bicycles, raced on the
track in miniature cars, coursed
through the air in swings provided
by the park board and simply
swamped those who were attempt
ing to feed them ice cream cones.
Business Man Helps
Ice cream was plentiful due in
part to a donation of ten dollars
given by W. Squire Neal to swell
the supply. Lunch was equally
plentiful and there was no need
for any one to be hungry amid the
plentitude of we'll filled baskets.
Standing in one spot one might
see every person he had ever
known and several hundreds he
had never seen before.

DAVIES AMUSED
ATFOOD REPORTS
Rumor He Bought rs EIec-
trio Refrigerators for En-
bassy Held Untrue.

Joseph Davies, Ambassador to Rus
sia, laughed long and said little today
when he was informed Of reports that
he and his wife, the former Mrs.
Marjorie Post Hutton. have ordered
1000 pints Of grade A cream to be
shipped to the Moscow Embassy.
These reports about what we are
taking are exaggerated, but will say
they are amusing" Davies remarked.
One Of the reports he branded an
out-and-out exaggeration was that he
had bought IS electric refrigerators
for his Russian residence, where the
Winters are long and bitter.
The cream report, however, seems
substantiated. Shipped in cardboard
containers, 1t was frozen by q special
quick process controlled by a corpora
tion Of which Mrs Davies Is a director.
She has ordered also hundreds Of
cans of frozen peaches, vegetables and
berries to supply the Embassy with the
food it will need during the cold sea-
son.
A new bathtub ordered by Davies
has already been installed in the En-
bassy and Is waiting for his arrival
some time in January. As for the re-
frigerators, however, 1t was explained,
many Of the Davies possessions are
being shipped in packing boxes bear
ing legends which might indicate they
inclosed mechanical ice boxes.

I did my best to explain, assuring
her that I thought that at least 10
per cent Of the stories that had ap-
peared in American newspapers had
been favorable to her. It is fair to
say that no doubt most Of the clippings
that reached her would probably have
been antagonistic and hostile.
A few of them, in fact, had come
from cranks in America, who not
only were anxious to cause her as
much mental suffering as possible, but
also threatened physical violence
unless she gave up her friendship with
the King. These came not only from
British subjects in America who re-
sented the Kings association with q

who felt that her close friendship with
the King was a disgrace.

ARGUMENT DELAYS
TRIAL OF TEACHER
Disagreement May Keep
Maxwell Case From Jury
Until Tonight.

~ the Associated Press.
WISE, Va, December 16.-Argu-
nent over instructions to be given the
Jury sitting in the second trial OF
Edith Maxwell today delayed con-
elusion of the celebrated case.
Attorneys were closeted with Judge
Ezra T. Carter in the late forenoon,
and it appeared that the case of the
22-year-old school teacher, charged
with killing her father in family
quarrel would not be given the jury
until tonight.
Following the instruction, both
prosecution and defense attorneys
were to have three hours for their
final appeals to the jury, second to
hear the case in Is months. In the
girls first trial, she was convicted
and sentenced to Is years imprison-
ment, but the Virginia Supreme
Court gave her new hearing.
M. ]. Fulton, Richmand member of
the defense staff, said he would ask
Judge Carter to stress self-defense in
his instructions and that there was
reasonable doubt as to the cause of
Maxwell's death. Another point on
which he would seek emphasis was
that womans slipper is not neces-
sarily a deadly weapon.
Two witnesses testified during the
trial Edith had told them she struck
her father with slipper.
AS testimony was completed yes
terday, Judge Carter said he would
allow the Commemorative attorney
and defense counsel three hours each
in which to present arguments to
the jury.
The defense rested after placing
10 witnesses on the stand to. establish
the miner blacksmith died Of natural
causes" The State had contended
Maxwell's death resulted from head
injuries caused by heavy instru-
ment."
The State climaxed testimony IN
the case late yesterday with the intro
duction of a rebuttal witness, Mrs.
Catherine Jessie of Norton, Va, who
said she was in Jail when Edith ad-
rnitted TO her she had killed her
father with an iron, but didn't mean
to do it,
The State had introduced into evil
dence an iron which witnesses said
was stained. The prosecution said
the stains appeared to be blood"
