GREAT BUSINESS ENTERPRISE DEDICATES COSTLY ANNEX Poro College, Which Has Been Developed by the Skijl and Genius of the Philanthropic Malones, Enlarges Plant and is Generous Host to Distinguished Guests From All Sections of Country— Event Occasion for Racial Conference (Special to The Monitor) PLANT REPRESENTS VALUATION OF HALF MILLION DOLLARS Rapid Evolution of Business Has Necessitated Vast Enlargement of Floor Acreage Within I,ess Than Two Years of Completion of First Structure, Which Was Erected at a Cost of $350,0001 —New Annex Suppied With Scientific Conveniences ■T. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 9.—In the midst of the profusion of beauti ful flowers, folk-lore, music and fit ting decorations, the new annex to Poro college was joined to the mother plant last week. The dedicatory ex ercises occupied the final four days of Thanksgiving week and were attended and participated in by the flower of racial endeavor and accomplishment from all over the country. The event brought so many of the outstanding members of the race to St. Louis that Prof. Aaron E. Malone president, and Mrs. Annie M. Malone founder of Poro college, anticipated it as a signal for the arrangement of various conferences looking up to the welfare and advancement of colored people. Five Acres Floor Space Admiring visitors inspectrd the dif ferent departments of the institution and were greatly impressed by the magnitude of the undertaking, the al most flawless system of administra tion and the abiding evidence of its success. It is truly a unique organ ization, with its compact combination of industrial, commercial, educational philanthropic and religious features and probably has no counterpart in all the world. With the added 20,000 square feet in the newly completed annex, flooi space in the Poro establishment ag gregates five acres, every inch of which is devoted to teaching some useful lessons to the youth of the race. The spectacle of 230 young women and young men engaged in the manufacture, shipping and clerical ad denda of Poro products; the array of hundreds of girls uniformly intent upon acquiring the culture to fit them for useful occupation; the gentle Christian atmosphere that starts with the chapel assembly in the morning and pervades the discipline of the en tire day, suggesting an iron hand in n velvet glove; the elegant simplicity Seven-Ounce Hen Pet of Pacific Coast Boy ; Oregon City. — Eugene Kltz- ; miller, aged seven, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.

Cincinnati, O.—Police believe the story of Robert Ollb, aged 22, former soldier, who said his revolver was acci dently discharged while he was kissing his sweetheart.

She hid It for him when they went to a picture show, and had handed It to him Just before It wus discharged. of mural decorations, often by colored artists; the curriculum that provides for culture by contact and example; the essence of applied business science reduced to its lowest terms gives Tore college first rang among useful and successful racial undertakings and a singular place for Mr. and Mrs. Ma lone among the leaders in constructive efforts. Cost $500,000 Rapid evolution of the Poro enter prise necessitated the erection les> than two years ago, of a building that cost $350,000. As soon as the plant was installed it was discovered that even with the most careful economy of space the new building did not meet the demands of the business, and one of the first plans set to work in its new home was to project additional floor acreage. This was accomplished two weeks ago, when the annex, was completed at a cost of $150,000, bring ing the huilding investments of Pore college during the last two years un to $500,000, absolute bookkeeper’s fig ures. The annex adjoins the mother plant and, like the first, is built of the finest and most secure of fireproof materials arid is connected with sundry tunnels and bridges, the arteries of the eco nomic system. Every improvement, in equipment that is available has been installed; mechanical carriers that bring the Poro products from the laboratories to the shipping tables; labor-saving office appliances; eleanlv young women diligently operating in scrupulously clean factories, flooded wjth light from hundreds of window1 —that is the new home of Poro col lege. The new annex is equipped with a laundry with all of the latest im proved machinery, a bakery' that ha a capacity not only for the demand of the institution, but it’s a boon to the neighborhood; a refrigerating plant and other useful and advanced features.

HOWARD WINS INTER <01,1.ELI ATE ( IIAAiriONSHII’ (Continued Prom First Page.) to work to carry out his original plans. He won. The two universities made their final effort. They asked for the park and for a morning game, but finally decided to play elsewhere. Howard First, oil Field The Howard eleyen was first on the field, arriving at 1:30, followed h.v their band and one thousand singing and cheering students. Lincoln trotted out twelve minutes later. The Lincoln followers paraded the field headed by fhelr hand, which stopped In front of V vy. • W5rX: V-/-V> M~JU ■■*■'- •-' •. i** > 1 *, .', • tl V ' C GOT A GOOD " «# I . 1 .. . . . - , X. 4 ’ I the Lincoln cheering station, where, j with bared heads, they sang Lincoln's ' “Alina Mater.” The Howard squad was presented ; with a huge floral H, a gift of the stu dent body, by President J. Stanley Purkee, who urged the boys to go Into the game bent on winning, but. can- j tinned them to be gentlemen ah well as clean fighters. The Howard sec tion rose in a body and sang "O, How ard, We Sing to Thee.” Captain Lawrence of Howard won ;he toss and chose tO'defend the south goal, with the wind at his hack. Lincoln Recovers Fumble Lincoln kicked off and in the at- | tempt to run it back Howard fumbled i when tackled, in the scramble Lin ; coin recovered the ball. The visitors’ cheering section went wild. Lincoln found Howard’s line strong, for in four rushes they failed to make the necessary yards and the hall went over. Howard punted and Lincoln worked the ■ o. 11 oy a -'series of end runs to Howard’s territory. Lincoln tried an on side kick when the blue and white line held and Howard fell on the ball. Howard worked ihe ball Into Lincoln’s territory only to lose it on downs. Howard First to Score Lincoln tried the Howard line and on the third try Williams broke through, recovered a fumble and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. Lin coln came back strong and made a desperate effort to hold their rivals. In the second quarter, after Coach Morrison had sent in six substitutes, Lincoln worked their way down to the Howard five-yard line, when the whis tle blew. Between the halves motion pictures were taken of the crowd, who used this valuable time to renew so cial acquaintances with friends from other cities whom they had not seen in years. Williams Runs Eighty Yards Lincoln kicked off to Williams on Howard’s twenty-yard line and the slippery fellow ran through the entire blue and gold eleven, eighty yards down the side line for a touchdown. This took the spirit out of the visit ors, who fought then, not to win the game, but to keep down the size of the score. Downing, Payne, Carter and the Howard backfield pulled off sen sational end runs, coupled with ter rific line plunges, mixed with an aerial attack that swept the Lincoln tleven off their feet. Howard was | pehalibed for rough play in the final quarter, but on the first play a for ward pass by Uncoin fell into Down ing’s bands an/1 another march for the goal was started. Lincoln fought i bravely on, despite being outplayed in : /-very department of the game. Howard Has Wonderful Team Coach Morrison’s men showed not only good judgment in the second half, but a clean-cut knowledge of Amer ica’s finest college sport. The game will go down in history as having been one of the best played games in the history of Howard. The visitors were modest. When Morrison was asked if he had anything to say he simply answered, “We played the best we knew how.” Morrison comes from Everett, where he played on the Ever ett high school eleven, and from Tufts College, Medford, Mass., where he played three years on the varsity squad. He was ably assisted by Pen derhuges of last year's bile and white eleven. The summary: Howard. Positions. Lincoln. Williams.L.E.J. Wilson fCiiljai-.L.T. .f Coston Smith.L.G. Wood Lawrence.C.
