Memphis Sees A. ME-. Church Celebrate 150th Birthday
MONSTER CONCLAVE
SET IN MEMPHIS

Six thousand delegates from all over
the world poured into Memphis. Tenn.
to attend the Sesquicentennial celebra-
ton OF the founding of the A. M. E.
church. The one hundred fifty years
since Bishop Allen visualized a church
that could rise above the prejudiced
conditions that obtained prior to the
organization of Afro Methodism, have
seen his protest grow into one of the
greatest vehicles for spiritual and So
cial service to our group in America.
In 1887, with approximately two dozen
members, by 1916 it had grown TO
about FIVE Thousand, now this church
claims membership of 100000.
In conjunction with the celebration
there was held youth conference at
which war, peace, matrimony and var
ious other subjects of interest to youth
were discussed.
From all reports, this was one of the
most educational and uplifting meet
ings of its kind ever held by our group.
DR.. William E. Guy and his delega-
ton left Monday morning for Des
MONIES to attend the first session OF
the Young Peoples Congress of the
Northwestern Conference. DR.. Guy,
appointed by Bishop John A. Gregg,
D. D., to the position of Conference
Superintendent of Young Peoples
Work, has worked very strenuously in
the making of the program. Follow
ing are some program features:-
1. The session is being held on the
45th anniversary of the beginning OF
teacher-training work in the A. M. E.
church. That beginning was in the

New York August rs
BRACELETS GET EN-

John Jones, paroled convict from an
Illinois penitentiary, wore bracelets.
Not the kind you wear going in, but
the kind one wears for ornamentation,
or if you are inclined that way, the
kind that keep off spells and things.
He sat beside Lew Kulis near the
Commercial Hotel. He decided he
would be more comfortable elsewhere.
Kulis claimed that three dollars of his
went with Jones. He gave the police
a description, and then began the
search for the man with the bracelets.
After gazing at wrist on wrist,
Jones was picked up, and though he
had perfect alibi, he had ivory brace
lets, so Mr.. Jones will spend the next
ninety days eliminating on bracelets,
and the art OF picking pockets.

VOICE or THE LEGION

The most pressing problem of the
day, with trouble brewing in Europe,
and so many Americans taking part in
the activities already going on, would
naturally be a universal draft act, The
American Legion has been urging the
passage of such bill for the past fif.
teen years.
II is designed to take the profit out
of war, So there will be no particular
rush by big interests to get someone
else's son killed or manned.
Also under provisions of the propos-
ed act, there would be no distinction
between rich mans boy and poor
mans son. This is all we'll and good,
we are highly favorable to it, but there
are some things that Our group should
think of, in the event such bill
should become law.
We wonder If the Negro would be
gradually showed through the admins
tration of such law into lower and
lower brackets, until survival would be
problem Almost unsolvable to peo-
pc Of extremely limited means, in such
q timer
Under the crude working of the war
laws of 1917 and 1918, Negroes were
able to fight against successfully,
number of efforts to shove them in
the background.
Take the riots at Spartansburg, S.
C., when the 36oth Infantry repelleo
efforts to convert them into a steve
dore outfit. That fight was made by
practically every other unit of the Ma
tional Guard Division, (93).
The result was, that by the time the
92nd was mustered, persons in author
ity had discovered that such CONVEX
sion was mighty touchy proposition,
and would not attempt it seriously with
an organization that large.
Other units not of the 92nd had
several riots about the same thing, anu
the result was, that most of the troops
put in the field had the compromise
title of Pioneer Infantry, which might
be interpreted to mean in a simple
sense, work when there is any work to
be done, and fight when we need you
Negroes in some sections of the coun-
try have seen these things, and have
made an effort to strengthen their posi-
tons through the organization of Ma
tional Guard Units. In the northwest
nothing has been done to safeguard
the interests of the young colored
draftee. Nothing will very likely be
done, for two reasons: first we have
always taken an ostrichlike attitude
toward any problem until it strikes us,
then we all initiate the proverbial
canary. Secondly, the actual percent
age of men who had real combat ex-
perience is much smaller here than it
is in many other sections of the coun-
try. Most of the heavy combat vetcr-
ans are not native to Minnesota, hav-
ing come here from other sections
since the war, and naturally the home
town boys are in the saddle. So with
the coming of the universal draft act,
we may laud it as safeguard against
our entry into WI, should it fail of its
purpose, it might in the hands Of the
right people be used as a cudgel against
our group. PERRY.

Youth Workers Construct
Large Spawning Pond

A spawning pond which will supply
$4,000 crappie fry for Hennepih, Anoka
and Ramsey county lakes Is being con-
structed by National Youth Administra-
ton workers near Minneapolis. Ad-
joining the Izaak Walton Bass Pond
at the end of Both Street near Cedar
Avenue, the new crappie pond will
make it possible to re-stock the easily
accessible lakes with supplies of game
fish, The Izaak Walton League is fur
nishing the site and materials for the
NYA construction work; and the Min
nesota department. OF conservation will
stock the pond with so pair of adult
crappies and harvest the thousand,
of fry annually for distribution to near
by lakes.
The new pond is quarters OF
an acre in area. 1t will be sloped in
such a way that the fish can be seined
out each fall draining the pond. A
dam at the deep end is already COM
pleted.
The plan for the crappie pond is the
product of ten years of successful ex-
perience with the Izaak Walton Bass
Pond, the first such project III the
country Winning national honors, the
bass pond consistently produced $500
fish per acre, and similar ponds i'll nine
states now have an annual crop OF ~
million fish.
Youth Administratio boys are now
rip-rapping the lower end of the exca-
walton with fat limestone rock, to pre-
vent seepage The water will be sup
Piled by the springfield Prahl creek, on
which NYA workers did erosion con-
troll work last year. The pond will be
completed this summer.
