Syphilis Among Negroes In Mississippi;

FOR A LONG TIME now it has been matter of
mon knowledge among informed people that the rate of
nerea disease particularly syphilis among the Mississippi
Negroes unusually high but not until the recently re-
leased the subject gathered by the Mississippi Sc
ecve Service Headquarters has it been revealed that the
prevalence among Negroes in Mississippi had reached
alarming degree.

Negro Hotels And Guest Houses

THE UNITED STATES TRAVEL BUREAU through
the United States Department of the Interior has recently
released directory of Negro Hotels Guest Houses
veoped with the view of contributing reliable of
information for Negro travellers through the United States
study of the directory will reveal that except in the
larger cities of the North and East and with excep
ions to be made with respects of the larger South
cities such Memphis, Atlanta Dallas New Orleans
and perhaps two others the hotels and guest

traeed to extent most of the hotels listed in
such not to offer the greatest attraction to
those seeking shelter and sustenance while travelling through
the country.
In years. especially Negro ownership of au-
toobes has increased there has been great increase
the number of Negro Travellers those who each wear
sections of the country vacations well as
those who travel extensively the year round for business
and commercial reasons.
I'm spite Of the increase in travel there been little or

The hotel business field except indicated in the di
recory issued by the department of the interior with here
there few places that might with reservation be
called hotel but for the most part private homes been
completely overlooked by the Negro businessmen yet today
offers the greatest opportunity for sound Negro invest

cation question remained sus-
pended in air.
The board oustcd five more
members Of the University sys-
tenn, all white.
Regent Peters proposed an ex-
pense account met to exceed
$500" for Holley Immediately
after the Negro educator made a
stirring speech in which he ad-
vocated that the Negro institu-
tions be allowed to have their
own board Of trustees and conduct
their work separate from the
University System.
Previously, upon the recon-
mendation of DeLacey Allen, of
Albany, the board had authoriz-
ed the appointment of a commit
tee to study the needs of the Ne
gro schools.
In praising the appointment
of such committee, Holley said
such action would convince the
holier-than-thou critics that the
Governor and the Board of Re-
gents are not trying to deprive
the Negroes of education and
training" AS soon as Holley sat
down Peters, who had ridden
around the Coastal Plains Expert
ment Station alone with the Gov
ernor on an inspection tour be-
fore the meeting, rose and made
a shcrt speech and closed by Of
fering a resolution providing for
the expense account.
Regent George C. Woodruff, of
Columbus, got up and announced
he was opposed to the adoption Of
any such resolution, warning that
it was serious step and should
not be considered on "snap judg-
ment." He suggested that the
matter be deferred and be placed
in the hands of &. special COM
mittee.
Regents Scott Gambler, of De-
catur, and L. w. (Chip) Robert,

ed Peters to withdraw his resolu
tion and allow the appointment OF
committee. the Manchester
banker said he hated to "swal-
low" his proposal, but finally
agreed after Beaver said he
would appoint Peters chairman
Of the committee.
The board was then late for a
luncheon and the Governor show
ing signs of anger, got up and
walked over to Peters, mumbling,
"You are going to be chairman
of the committee, SO let it &C this

members were on their feet and
Chairman Beaver announced the
meeting was adjourned and that
there would be no other session

The Governor did interrupt

After his speech had been ap-

that Holley be paid $500 to trav

1918 HEROISM
Speaking of the courage and
vslor of the Negro citizen, the
speaker illustrated the former by
referring to the heroism in 1918
which took Private John Baker, with
two fingers of his right hand shot
of through three hundred yards Of
heavy machine gun fire to deliver
an urgent message to his COM
manding officer; of Private Arthur
Johnson, struck by shell fragment,
to carry more grievously wound
ed cO.nrade mile on his back to
first-aid station; such courage as
led Private Bruce Stoney 200 wards
out into No Mans Land under
heavy fire to rescue a wounded Of
ifcer lying there; such courage as
drew Corporal Sandy Jones, COM
pany clerk, up to the front line
when he learned that all his Of
ficers had become casualties, where
he took command of the scattered
elements of his unit and reorganiz-
cd them, an6 many more.

given by Nine Washington.
Preceding Mrs johnson address,

Long Island Indians At
 Hartford Again On Sunday

November 4. -- With only one day rest the Blues begin preparations tonight for what appears will be the biggest professional football game ever played in Connecticut.
 Their next Sundays opponent will be the powerful Long Island Indi- ans, runner-up in the American association of football, conqueror of tho New York Yankees, 47-0, the same club the Blues walloped 3i-l3.
 Only club to beat the Blues this season as Grat O'Connell's boys charged through for twelve wins, the Indians in their first appear Rnce here, on which they trimmed the local club 2l-0 created a very favorable impression. It is true that Verne Lewelens outfit from Long Island had three distinct breaks to roll up the triumph, nevertheless on that particular day they appeared far superior.
 However, since then the Blues have snapped back to win six straight, duplicating the winning streak they toasted when Long Is- land cut 1t short.
 Requirements
 With Q crop of injuries as a result of their bruising battle with the Rams of Stratford, the Blues may find it necessary to secure additional talent. Al Parda, who was operated upon Sunday at the Hartford hos- pital for a ruptured intestine is through for the season and several of the other stalwarts are laid up. Lou Presti may be moved into the
