few colored Americans holding such
a degree, and the first A.M.E. Bish-
op holding such a degree. The Bish-
op was also representative of
American Negro business, being q
director of his fathers bank in Fnil--
adeiph1a; was a representative Of
coiored American journalism, having
been for twenty-five years editor Of
the Christian Recorder, the Oldest
Negro publication in the United
States; and was modern day rep
resentative of Negro education, hav-
ing stepped from the presidency of
Wllberforce University into the
Bishopric. The Bishop also had high
political connections, having led q
brilliant campaign for the re-elec-
ton Of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and
having had two appreciative letters
from the President while abroad.
Proof that the Bishop carried all
the inspiration, interest, and vision
from his many activities at home to
the African field is not lacking.
While in Africa he wrote back to
America for pictures Of Negroes of
achievement, to hang in the halls
of African buildings, to inspire Afri-
can youth. And while abroad he re-
vived the Christian Recorder in
South Africa, and published it III
four languages; he secured a higher
rating for Wilberforce Institute in
the Transvaal, mainly by sending to
America for better trained teachers,
including new president; he set
up an ELK Lodge in johannesburg;
and he had African newspapers sent

" spirit and feeling might be de-
| yeloped between the two groups.
On his return, we welcome Bishop

Opportunity tells why we may ex-
pect better tomorrow in the South.
/ The white colleges are introducing

the white student is being "educat-

| Says Mr.. Raper: Each year adj
ditional interracial materials are be-

of the white colleges in the South.
| Many departments of sociology have
been established, with local racial

sixty southern white colleges and

Far East

Far East
The concern Japan's military
might is causing the white nations Of
the West, is ludicrous as well an
tragic. The colored citizens. watch
ing Uncle Sam scratching his head
in wonder as the doughty Nipponese
shatter myth after myth regarding
their inferiority as fighters and in
dustTialists, is as interested in white
Americas reactions as in the forward
march Of the Japanese conquerers.
And strangely, when Italy was in
vading Ethiopia, il was the colored
press that was all worked up; but
now that japan is invading China,
the colored press is quiet and the
white press is panic-stricken.
Last Sunday, white writer la
bored loud and long trying to show
(since Japan is moving ahead on
schedule) that if Japan is given rope
she viii defeat herself But today,
cartoon in the New York Daily
News takes the prize: It shows Uncle
Sam telling Japan: aYou can get just
,, as bloody fight and kill just as
many people with $4,000 ton battle
ships as with $4,000 ton battleships" !"
If that is true, then what is Uncle
Sam worried about?
But that is the trouble with the
white world today; they take every
body for saps except themselves.
Colored Americas heart was
broken when italy took Ethiopia
No one could believe that the great
| powers would stand by and let such
thing happen, without even giving
poor Ethiopia chance. But they
| did. So now that Japan is taking
/ China, there is no more Christian
sympathy left.
Our hint to white America is, dc
something to show conclusively that
the policy of grinding the Negro in
the dust is being abandoned. The
colored mans sympathies are worth
keeping in his own country.

he Gayagan-W Wagner-Van Nuys
lnti-lynching bill.
After Eve weeks before the
Senate, Ehs anti-lynchdng bill
appeared definitely to be gain
ir,g ia faves, and plans were
underway calculated to force
vote by February 16 to II.
In the beginning with the
f;libusferers monopolizing all
the time, the supporters Of the
BIZ adopted policy Of watch
full waiting, confident that they
had the votes to pass the nea-
sure. AS time wore on, the MD
busterers gained some public
backing. but in the past week or
ten days, they have definitely
lost ground. The fact that the
Senate refused TO sidetrack the
bin ON February A by vote or
52-34 indicated that even after
four solid weeks of debating,
support of the bill was as FIRM
as ever.
Today. one week after the over
whelming vote in support OF ehe
bill. the anti-lynching supporters are
noticeably in advance Of their posi-
f;on last week. The southerners Tor
tha 6rsfs time are worried. It was
learned in some quarters that they
expected, when they started the flil--
buster, that five or six days of ora
torr would be sufficient TO sidetrack
The bill. After five weeks OF taiR--
ing, they find themselves IN no bet
ser position than they were at first.
In fact their stock has gone down
considerably because Of the tyne Of

Text Of Letter
"The chancellery Of the German
Fuehrer has forwarded to US your
letter Of December l9 addressed to
Mr.. Adolf Hitler and expressing con-
cern about your welcome in Ger
many and what the official attitude
in regard to your reception would
be.
1--WE beg to advise you that who
ever comes to Germany as guest
or visitor enjoys in Germany the
hospitality extended to any and all
guests.
This spirit has always prevailed
in Germany. Allow me to quote
from an editorial of the famous
sports writer, Bill Henry, which was
published in the Los Angeles Times
very recently, or to be correct, on
January Z, 1888. Mr.. Henry, who
was an observer in Berlin at the
time, writes about Jesse Owens:
Owens Most Popular"
'.Owens became the outstanding
Olympic hero of modern times by
winning four gold medals at Berlin.
He was not only the outstanding
athlete of the Games but the most
popular with the crowds He was
swamped by autograph and camera
fiends outside the stadium, cheered
and applarded inside, and was invit-
ed on post-season trips to all parts
of Germany They asked him on
his arrival lin the United States)
about the snubbing and ill-treat-
ment in Germany and Owens quite
/
frankly told the world that he not
only had not been snubbed but that
he'd never been treated better in
his life. The writer then points
out that Jesse Owens was a victim
of American political propagandists.
I'VE appreciate the opportunity
you have given US to explain this
matter to you, and II you require
any further information in planning
your 1893 tour, the facilities Of this
office are at your disposal"

Some Vital
Of Charm
Take Stock of Your
Liabilities and
Your Assets.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

EVERY year at this time we take
inventory. We list our assets and
liabilities just as the merchants list
their saleable and unsaleable stock.
This year, however. our inventory will
be little more complicated. For we
will concentrate on the abstract quail
tiles of charm quite as much As we will
on our physical attributes.
It is simple enough to have q true
party. face yourself frankly and fairly
and say: yes, my hair is dry. I need
oil treatments. Or, my hair is oily and
I shall need more frequent shampoos,
an astringent tonic and check-up on
my diet with a view to cutting down on
sweets, fatty foods and starches.
The average eye can see the differ
ence between dry and oily skin; and
every woman knows (only too well)
whether that clear-cut line at the
chin is gradually giving way under
the weight of birthdays or negligence!
Women are more figure-conscious
today than ever and they diet and
exercise more slowly and sanely.
Women know more about their bodies,
about vitamins and food elements,
about their own beauty needs. And
women are fast learning how to make
the most Of their looks. how to point
up their own personality as well as
their best features.
That is why say that a frank list
Of Il have to my credit" and II
have not" should be very simple to
compile. From that the Il need most
can be built beautifully, with the aid
Of an expert. If necessary. The only
bit Of warning would be: Don't be too
hard on yourself, don't exaggerate,
and don't try to cover too much in one
sitting. Very often young girls in
their teens write me their tales Of woe,
their list showing lack of loveliness
and they include hundreds of little de-
tails instead Of covering tho big, most
important issues first. Your own sense
Of values must guide you.
The most important part Of your
inventory and the most difficult Is
studying yourself for qualities which
the eye cannot so quickly detect.
