1'GOT HALL IX OUH HIGH SCHOOL
For many years It has been con
ceded that athletics during school
cays helps much In developing stu
donta both In brawn and In those
trails of character which to such
a great extent determine their atti-
tude toward life and their fellows.
Very seldom Is It that Southern Ne
gro public schools find tt possible
to eihclently develop this side ot
their curriculum. Ktipecially is this
true m Texas.
The attempt of our local High
Sehool to develop its athletic side is
commendable. And If we are to
judge by the showing made in the
Bliort season just closed we may
safely presume that it may in time
reach proportions commensurate will
the system of which It becomes a
part. The foot ball team brought
into being through the efforts ot
Prinipavl Carr coached by Prof. Fox
and financed mainly by the contri-
butions of the teachers and students
has played three games two out of
town and one In town the latter
of which they won by a comfortable
margin.
Its Institution and maintenance is
an innovation in our school life which
should be so heartily encouraged as
to make it an institution.
The Dallas puhlio has never prop-
erly supported the activities of its
students other than In the ordinarily
expected ways. !
Athletics are necessary to the full-
er development of students. They
can thrive only as patrons and the
general public support and encourage
them.
It is to be hoped that this may be
done. It will tend toward a closer
relationship between the public and
the school system and such a re-
lationship holds possibilities for
treat good.
We heartily commend the splrl". of
teachers and pupils who made this
year's foot bull team possible.

v LET US BEGIN NOW.
The Associated Negro Press several weeks ago skillfully set
forth a program of action for our group toward securing national
action upon the evils from which we seek relief. Action by Con-
cress is to be ureed as to Ivnchincr. disfranchisement segregation.
etc. by all influential leaders newspapers and other organiza-
tions among us. It is hoped that such a united movement may
serve at least to bring these evils and their influences so forci
bly to the attention of Congress and the public mind that definite
action in regard to them may be taken.
The question of when this effort should be made has been
raised. '
There are those who think that Congress which is now
barely Republican and yet which is a part of the closing Demo
cratic administration should take immediate action on Lynch.
ing Disfranchisement etc. Principal among these are the N. A
A. C. P. and the Lqual Kights League. Col. Henry Lincoln John
son and his followers think all acting should be deferred until the
inauguration of President-elect Harding and the special session
ot the next Congress which will be overwhelmingly Republican
It would seem to the casual observer that the logical time
for beginning such a movement would be as Col. Henry Lincoln
Johnson and his followers think after the inauguration of the
President-elect and the convening of the special session of the
next Congress which will be overwhelmingly Republican. '
It is plausible however to reason that it does not necessarily
follow that waiting for the inauguration and special session wil.
increase the celerity with which our program will be acted upon
as compared with the plan of beginning now and continuing un-
til then. .
It is not reasonable to suppose that the new Congress wil
find itself able to begin at once upon a consideration of our case
should we wait in presenting it. Past experience has lead us to
feel that pressure must be exerted continually if results are to
be obtained. And in this case it is to be feared that those who
advocate waiting probably have hopes too roseate as to the dispo
sition of the Republican party to help us.
Already anti-lynch laws have been introduced into the house
the one most deserving of mention being that of Messrs. Dyer
and Curtis which provides:
' 1. For a $10000 fine to be paid by any county in which a
lynching occurs.
j 2. For prosecution of negligent state and county officers in
United States courts.
3. For trial on charges of murder in a United States court
of all participants m lynchmgs. .
The fight on Southern representation is waxing warmer and
warmer and already steps are being taken to get action by Con-
gress which will materially aid our fight against disfranchise
ment.
It would appear in the light of such circumstances that the
most opportune time to begin is now. In fact it will not be a
beginning. Rather would we consider it a continuation of those
efforts which in the past few years have placed our case more
squarely before the bar of public opinion and rendered possible
the introduction of such measures as the one above mentioned
and caused such outspoken sentiments against the unfairness of
disfranchisement.
We would hesitate further to heartily countenance waiting
for the new president and Congress for according to one course
of reasoning it might easily be construed to mean an expecta
tion on our part of special favors as a result of election partici
pation. i
The incitement of measures during the remainder of the
Democratic regime for our betterment will serve the two-fold
purpose of causing them after introduction to take the form of
unfinished business thus further guaranteeing their precedence
over newer considerations for the next Congress and of over
coming the highly possible criticism of special consideration
which might be used with telling effect by Republican enemies
It is our opinion that now is the most acceptable time for
more than one reason. ?'
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
There are about 42000 Negroes in the city of Dallas. When
one begins to think in terms of their possibilities of achievement
along any line he i3 more than likely to begin to reason that in
many instances they have failed to live up to them.
Ordinarily we fail to take into consideration the fact that
our group alone in this city is greater than the total population
of many prosperous cities of Texas which support numerous
banks department stores power plants and large industries. We
are prone to fall back on the few men among us who single
handed and almost alone have won a financial place for them
selves and bask in their glory comparatively slight though it
may be and feel that our group has done well.
When actual accomplishment is compared even very lenient
ly with conceived possibility for accomplishment of our group m
Dallas it will be found that it has fallen far short.
It has numerous business houses and enterprises of various
sorts but none of a size commensurate with their chances for
growth. i
There are limitless financial possibilities in 40000 people.
40000 people averaging $10 per week would handle $400000
per week or $1(500000 per month $19200000 per year.
If of the 40000 only 12000 were gainfully employed at pres
ent day salaries the total would not change noticeably.
Every person of the 40.000 must have clothes must be fed
must be amused and must be housed. The total amount of ex
penditures for these necessities alone would be startling if it
could be correctly estimated. Whatever the yearly total may be
suffice it to say that it is spent and it does benefit those with
whom it i3 spent. But too little of it is spent so as to allow its
spenders to participate in anyway in its accretions.
Why do we not begin to think of these possibilities and de
velop them 7 Our group in other cities though not so numerous
are making a success of such ventures and are developing a fi
nancial status of which we might well be proud.
Dallas is a wonderful city in that it has been developed al
most solely because its founders and promoters believed in its
possibilities. ' .
We must see our own possibilities. We must study our lack
of success along this line for truly it is a decided lack. We must
more closely associate Ourselves for business development and
really develop. -
.With all due respect for our Business League we must can-
didly admit that it has pitifully few actual accomplishments to
its credit. It has conceived few projects. It has encouraged
few new ventures. It has developed but little in its many years
of existence. Why? Probably because as a body it has failed to
realize its tremendous possibilities for the development of a v
rile growing spirit of Neirro business in Dallas.
Negro business in Dallas ought to be developed. The vision
must be caught. The tremendous yearly earnings of our people
must be turned into channels which will in time give them con
crete returns lor their spendmgs m employment and wages.
It is possible. The spirit of the general public is its guaran-
tee of success.
A careful consideration of these possibilities must be made
by those to whom a realization may coma and actual effort must
be made in the development of banks department stores places
oi amusement owned and controlled by Negro capita).
- The financial possibilities which lie undeveloped in a group
of 40000 people ought to furnish much food for thought and suf-
ficient reason for increased action. "
. It is rumored that the next "chef of the White House will
be a member of our group. She has bad charge of the Harding
culinary department for many years. We may rest assured that
we will be represented in at least one department of the White
House. - i

THE MIRROR OF
f rUBLIU UHMUN
v LAWLESS IS AMEBICA.
The Bureau of Social Hygiene recently made public a study of police
conditions In America which was conducted by Raymond B. Fosdick. The
figures given out are preliminary to the publication of a book "American
Police Systems" and are appalling. They deal with a comparison of the
amount of crime in American and European ciUes.
' Mr. Fosdick says that the Metropolitan Police Force oi London or the
Brigade de Surety of Paris would be overwhelmed if they had to face
such criminal conditions as we have in. New York and Chicago. He backs
up this statement with convincing statistics. He shows that London in
1916 with 7250000 population had nine premeditated murders. Chicago
one-third the sizo of London in the same period had 105 twelve times the
London total. Chicago in 1916 with its 2500000 people had twenty more
murders than the whole of England and Wales put together with their
38000000 people. And 1916 was not an excepional year. The average
for 1916 runs steadily for a series of years. During this year 1916 the
murders in Chicago totaled one more than all the murders in London dur
ing the flye-year period from 1910 to 1914 inclusive.
New York does not show jp so badlyias Chicago but badly enaugh
in 19161917 and 1918 New York averaged six times more murders than Lon
don in the same years. Jn 1918 New York had sixty-seven more homocldes
than the whole of England and Wales combined. Since January 1 of this
year New York has had 104 unsolved murder!).
Nor is this condition peculiar to these two great centers of American
population; in the three-year period 1916 to 1918 Inclusive Glasgow had
thirty-eight homocldes while Philadelphia which is only a trifle larger
had during the same period 291. Liverpool and St. Louis had approximately
the same size; in 1915 St. Louis had eleven times the number of murders
that Liverpool had. Los Ahgelos one-twentieth the size' of London had
in 1917 ton more murders than the English metropolis. Cleveland one
tenth the size of London had in the same year more than three times th
number of homocldes than London had.
As with murder so with all other crimes. In 1915 New York had
eight times as many burglaries as London had in the same period and
nearly twice as many as were reported for the whole of England and Wales
In 1917 Chicago had 3459 more burglaries than London; in 1918 it had 8C
more and in 1919 it had 2146 more than the British capital. In 1915 there
were reported in New York 838 cases of robberies and assaults with intent
to rob where London had twenty cases and England Wales and Scotland
together had 102. In 1918 Chicago had twenty-two robberies for every 6ne
robbery in London and fourteen for every one robbery in England anc
Wales combined. In 1916 Washington had four times the number of rob
berles that London had. In 1917 Los Angeles had 126 more robberies than
England Wales and Scotland put together.
Xhe record of automobile thefts for a number of American cities and
for London and Liverpool in 1919 is as follows: New York 6627; Chicago
4.316; Detroit 3.482; St. Louis 1244; Cleveland 2327; Boffalo 986; London
290; Liverpool 10. Mr. Fosdick points out that the larger number of au
tomomies owned in American cities would in some degree affect these
figures but not enough to wipe out the fact that the proportionate number
of thefts in the United States is far greater than in England
To use a wornout expression these figures are food for thought They
ought to prove very disturbing to those Araericns who have simply taken
if for granted that the United States was the exclusive home of liberty and
all other national virtues. Vhen we face the facts we find that compared
with a "tyrannical old monarchy" like England life and property in the
United States are not safe.
This Is a condition that Colored Americans have been familiar with
for a long time. For years they have been trying to awaken this country
to the truth that is was the most lawless and criminal of all the so-called
civilized nations. Colored Americana must of course take their place and
their responsibility along with the rest of the population in a summary of
the ordinary crimes but Colored Americans are the victims and never the
perpetrators of a class of extraordlnry crimes that are absolutely unknown
In England. . A prosperous Colored farmer in Arkansas for example never
know when he may be killed by white men who want his; land perhaps
on a trumpet charge of having assaulted or insulted a white woman. Any
Colored man who does so simple and lawful a thing as to buy a rail
road ticket with a Pullman berth say from New York to New Orleans
knows that his life is not safe from the moment he crosses the Potomac
River.
Air. rosdicn discussed the Import of the figures he has collected. He
discusses them in the relation of our mixed population to our excessive
crime rate and comes to the conclusion that the prepondrance of crime
tn the United States la greatly augumented by the presence of unassim-
ilated or poorly assimilated races. But he adds:
"It must not be supposed however that our foreign and Colored pop.
ulation is the sole cause of our excessive crime rate. If the offenses of
our foreign and Colored races were stricken from the calculation our crime
record would still greatly exceed the record of Western Eurone. With all
its kindliness and good nature the temper of our communities contains a
strong strain of violence. Wo condone violence and shirk its punishment
we lack a high instinct for order. We lack a sense of the dignity of
abedience to restrain which is demanded for the common good. We lack
a certain respect for our own security and the terms upon which civilUed
communities keep the peace.
There la probably more in disciplined egotistic mischievous force in
the United States than in any country of first rank in the world
Mr. Fosdick is right in his summary. The United States has a higher
criminal rate of any of the countries; of Western Europe. And it is an
American city Memphis that has the highest murder rate of any city not
only of Western Europe but of the entire world. New York Age.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HISTORT OF THE NEGRO
AMERICA AND IN AFRICA.
' ' (By Monroe' N. Work.)
There is a close connection between the history of the Negro m Amer
lea and that in Africa. This connection or relalonship Is along the lines
of racial ties and similar conditions under which the races in Africa and
in America now lives. By this I mean that the race problem in Africa and
in America is very similar.
There is also a psychological relationship between the Negro in Amer
lea and in Africa. For the most part the Negroes in America know but
little of the history of the race in Africa. They generally accept as true
the statements that their ancestors in Africa were naked jungle living
cannibal eaters without any trace of culture or civilization. The part which
Negroes have played in the history of the world in contributing to the be-
ginnings of civilization are not generally known. This is especially true
of the part which the Ethiopian Empire played in the ancient world.
Negro Africa is commercially connected with Europe and Asia This
connection is by way of three routes: the valley of the Nile by way of
Abyssinia across the Red Sea to Arabian peninsula and by Caravan route
across the Sahara Desert It is very probable that this commercial connec
tion has had an Important Influence on the development of civilization.
Researchers appear to Indicate that the basic population of Egypt
which has a noticeable Negroid admixture Is racially about the same as it
was in the days when the Pyramids were erected. There are facts which
would appear to Indicate that one of the centers of the beginnings of civ-
ilization may have been in the upper reaches of the Nile that is in Ethi
opia and had a Negroid basis. In this connection it is welt to point out
that it is very probable that out of Negro Africa came one of the most im
portant contributions to civilization namely: art of smelting iron.
The basis of the claim that the art of smelting iron may have originated
in Negro Africa is that apparently no iron was smelted in Europe before
900 B. C. and that before 3000 B. C. there began to appear on Egyptian
monuments pictures of Africans bringing iron from the South to Egypt.
It further appears that it was considerable time later than this when iron
Implements began to appear in Asia. There is no iron ore in Egypt- In
Negro Africa on the other hand iron ore is abundant and is of a quality
hlch is very easily smelted.
A very striking argument was made sometime ago by Sir Harry H.
Johnston to the effect that there were facts which would seem to indicate
that the Negro may have originated in Western Europe and thence spread
southward Into Africa and across Western and Southern Asia into Australia.
Regardless to whether there Is any truth In Johnston's view the fact re
mains that the aracological researches whlfch have been made in the valley
of the Nile Indicate a very close connection between ancient and modern
gypt and between Egypt and Negro Africa.
Should we make a serious study of our past history? From a racial
standpoint it is very important that we- should. We should know as much

"Never ate It In my life."
Over and over again 1 meet people
wliura eating- habits are confined to
the most limited routine: they know
etrgs and . chops and potatoes and
pie. but they seldom allow their
tuntes to wander into new eating
areait. Thene perxons persist In think-
ing "queer" any food which falls out-
side their prescribed eating habits;
again. If they have been accustomed
to eat a certain food in one special
way they refuse to believe that the
same food would taste equally deli-
cious if served In an entirely differ-
ent manner.
The more different ways in which
we can cook and serve the most nourishing-
foods the greater delight and
pleasure we will have in our meals.
Hut. further the more different waya
in whirh we can cook and serve the
most nourishing foods the less our
food will cost us. The "steak-and-chop"
husband costs more to feed
than. the man who enjoys spaghetti
and Koulash and vegetable ioaf the
son who "cannot eat aoup" and the
daughter who "doesn't like vege-
tables" will make the food bills run
one-fifth higher than the family who
"likes everything."
If we think a moment we will see
how hundreds of persons limit the en-
joyment of eating and Increase their
expenses solely because they refuse
to broaden their food preferences.
There is that family 1 know whom
I secretly call the "library-paste
family" because in that house every-
thing eatable is smothered in a pasty
white or cream sauce.
Then there is the family who "nev-
er heard" of bean loaf or of using
the outside stalks of caullfower as a
vegetable or who never ate chicory
salad or beet tops or carrot custard
or baked bananus.
In the past when I have recom-
mended to women this venture Into
untired foods I have always been
met with the answer "Oh' my hus

Is easier to handle. It Is discourag-
ing to the young housekeeper to mix
a large amount of expensive fruit
cake batter and have it come out
of the oven either raw in the middle
or burned on top or bottom. For the
inexperienced It Is wise to line the
cake pan with three thlcknessea of
oiled paper. These should be well oil-
ed otherwise they may stick to the
cake. If the oven to be used is prone
to burn at the bottom the cake should
be set on an asbestos mat or an In-
verted pie tin. To make assurance
doubly sure some prefer to set a
pan of hot water In the oven .thus
keeping the' cake -from browning too
soon.
Two Kinds of Cakes.
There are two kinds of fruit cakes
the white and the dark. Whichever
kind is to be made preparation
should be made the day before. If the
black fruit cake Is to be made the
flour should be browned and boled
before measuring. The fruit should
be prepared and measured and marln-
mated In the melted Jelly wine brandy
or fruit Juices. The nuts should also
be prepared and the cake pan proper-
ly lined and oiled. This done the
largest part of the work has been ac-
complished and the mixing and baking
will be lns tiresome than if every-
thing is left until the day of baking.
The first recipe presented Ib my fa-
vorite but this year there will have
to bo sumo substitution. Instead
there may be used a glassful or

A lonesome wife.
My dear lonesome little wife: '
You are fretting over a very little
annoyance and because you have not
tried to overcome this annoyance it
has assumed huge proportions. A
woman's supreme duty Is tn make a
success out of her married life which
must be accomplished not by giving
up an ner inoiviouanity nut oy ar-
fecting a series of compromises those
woman who prove most successful
however keep their partner convinced
that his will is always her wish. The
day that she convinces him that she
is th real pilot she plays the losing
card. All good times are not to be
had outside the home. What do vou
do for good times at home? If you
plan for good times at home you will
find yourself wishing to go out less.
You must go out some however and
It Is due yourself respect to have
your husband look presentable com-
pliment him when he puts on any-
thing good looking and his interest
In dress will pick up.
I like to see a man and his wife
out together. Nothing fills my soul
with more indignation than to see
man always on parade without his
wife. No woman Is happy with out an
escort and is embarrassed to accept
courtesies of the escorts or husbands
of her friends. So you must insist on
your nusoand s company and if you
try to make him. happy at home I
think you can manage to get him out
often enough to give you your deserv-
ed outings.
