COLOR LINE DRAWN BY AMERICANS Miss Augusta Savage, Youthful Sculptress,, Denied Admission to School in Fountainbleau By American Committee; Appeal To Be Made To French Government. Eight American architects, painters and sculptors, comprising a board of admission to the Fontaine-bleau School of Fine Arts in France, have ruled that Miss Augusta Savage, 23, of 228 West 138th Street, may not enter the school because she is a Negro and because her presence there would be embarrassing to her. Miss Savage came here two years ago from a Florida village after attending a State normal school in Florida. She has studied sculpture at Cooper Union ever since she came North and has a good record in her class. Aided by Government. The school she wished to attend is a Summer school for American architects, and a sculptor. One hundred American students are to be admitted each year. Because of low costs made possible by the French Government, the entire expense of the trip and a Summer at the school is $600. Alfred W. Martin of No. 1995 Madison Avenue, one of the leaders of the Ethical Culture Society of New York, will sell for Europe Saturday and will place the matter before the French authorities at Fontainebleau. He said yesterday he felt certain the French would not approve of any discrimination on racial grounds. As chairman of the committee's Department of Painting and Sculpture, Ernest Pelissot had charge of Mirs Savare's application. Whitney Warren, architect, chairman of the committee's Department of architecture. The other members are: Edwin E. Blashfield, President of the National Academy of Design. Howard Grasley, President of the Architectural League. Thomas Hostings, architect. J. Monroe Hewlett, President of the Mural Painters. Hermon A MacNell, sculptor. James Gamble Rogers, architect. James sample Rogers, architect. "I made application to the committee in the regular way." Miss Savage said to a reporter, who found her a class of Cooper Wilson on Tuesday afternoon, "without thinking it necessary to mention my race. They asked me to make a preliminary deposit of $35, which I did, and told me I would have to send two recommendations. Before I could send the recommendations they returned the $35 and told me, 'with regret,' they had decided not to approve my application. They did not state any reason. "Democracy is a strange thing," she added. "My brother was good enough to be accepted in one of the regiments that saw service in France during the war," but it seems his sister is not good enough to be a guest of the country for which he fought." A few weeks ago Miss Savage presented Mrs. Sadie Peterson a bust of Dr. D. Bels, which she in turn presented to the 135th Street Public Library. DID YOU LOSE A PHOTO OF YOUR LOVED ONES.

DIVORCES Investigations BOULING'S NATIONAL DETECTIVE AGENCY Uptown 2376 2th Ave. Aud. 0189 208 Broadway. 8330 Cort. Night. 2024 Morn. An Editorial It Is Hoped That Every Reader of the Amsterdam News Will Read and Act Upon. MONUMENT to the Colored People of Harlem has been erected on the Southeast corner of One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Street and Seventh Avenue by A. I. Hart & Company, in the form of a Department Store. That monument was erected because of an abiding faith Mr. A. I. Hart, president of the company, has in his own people. Thousands of us pass this store every day. We watched the erection of the building, and the day A. I. Hart & Company moved into the building, we looked in at the door out of curiosity. Most of us know that it is the only store of its kind owned and operated by Negroes in Greater New York. There are few stores of its kind owned by Negroes in the United States. The success of this store will reflect credit upon every Colored person in this community, and upon the entire Race, and for this reason it should not be permitted to fail or to pass into other hands. Word has reached us that the store will pass out of our hands, unless it receives a larger share of our patronage. This must not happen if it is humanly possible to prevent it, and The Amsterdam News stands willing and ready to do everything in its power to prevent it, and appeals to each one of its many readers to help. The monument erected to us, and of which we are the foundation, MUST STAND. A. I. Hart & Company is not seeking charity, nor selling bogus stock. It did not ask us to make this appeal. We are making it because we feel that it is our duty to make it and because the success of this store will mean something to all of us. GO TO A. I. HART & COMPANY'S STORE TODAY AND MAKE A PURCHASE! There are many things there that you use regularly every day. Pins, needles, soap, washing powder, toilet articles, brooms, phonograph records, sheet music, hardware and a thousand and one other things. Go there TODAY and buy something you need now or which you will need in the near future. DO YOUR BIT! We owe it to ourselves to help this struggling enterprise. The Amsterdam News extends this appeal to every minister of the gospel, every doctor, every lawyer, every business man, every politician, every man and woman who reads it. Don't "let Charlie do it," for the store will fail if you do. Make your purchases before it is too late. We extend this appeal to organizations and organization heads who are in position to buy a gross or two of certain articles and resell them to members. We recommend that several of the women's clubs come forward and in a spirit of helpfulness canvass the entire community and tell the Colored housewife how important it is to make a few purchases in A. I. Hart & Company's store. If necessary, we recommend that, with the co-operation of the manager of the store, these women take orders for and deliver articles from the store. We have all served causes less worthy. By C. Bion Jones. The trial in Jersey City of Charles Jackson, the race man who shot and killed Charles Watson after a pool room brawl last February, was opened last Monday morning in Judge Lazarus' Court. The trial lasted two days. The jury found Jackson guilty of murder in the first degree, and recommended mercy. This saved Jackson from the chair. He was sent to State prison at Trenton to begin his life term. The circumstances surrounding this murder were conflicting, however, witnesses saw Jackson draw his gun and shoot three times each shot going to Watson's body. Two of the shots went through from the back. Watson, after being shot, ran from the place into the street and, fell dead on the sidewalk across the street from the pool room. Many eye witnesses, including women and children, saw Watson fall. Assistant Prosecutor Aloysius McMahon and special counsel George T. Vickers represented the State and the murderer was represented by the Hartgrove, a real lawyer. Jackson tried to establish a case of self-defense but the medical experts showed that two bullets entered Watson's back and that no weapons were found on the murdered man when taken to the hospital.

Three men, Jocelyn McLead, 19, 164 W. 140th St.; Lory Jones, 19, of the same address, and James Jardine, 21, 151 W. 140th St. arrested for the murder, have been discharged by Judge Koenig in General Sessions, on the recommendation of the District Attorney. All three were indicted for murder in the first degree. The three have been in the Tombs since their arrest following the discovery of Tom's body with a bullet wound in his head on the floor of his laundry. They were arrested by Detectives Stanley German, Edward Shields and William Barreau of the W. 133th St. station. They were arranged in the Homelife Court and subsequently indicted. On information that a gang of loafers were making the basement of 151 W. 140th St. their rendezvous, Detectives James Mahoney, Emil Winterhalter and Wesley Redding, of the W. 133th St. station, went to the place at three o'clock in the morning and found eight men asleep. The arrest of the three followed, nad, according to the police, two of them, McLeod and Jones, confessed to the crime, each naming the other as the actual slayer. According to their statements they entered the laundry for the purpose of obtaining money from the Chinman, but when he refused them they set upon him and, during the melse, Tom was shot in the head. In recommending the discharge of the three men, Aast. Dist. Atty. Joyce told Judge Koong that there was absolutely no evidence to connect the three men with the murder of the Chinman. While they admitted, according to Joyce, that they were in the Chinman's house, they were in the murder for the purpose of obtaining money, yet there was no evidence of attempted robbery, unlawful entry, conspiracy or anything else to connect them with the crime. The prosecutor asserted that to put the three on trial for their lives would to a useless expense to the county, as no jury would convict them.

NEGRO Thirteen Percent of Entire Farm Hand Population in Georgia Has Moved to Northern Thirteen Percent of Entire Farm Hand Population in Georgia Has Moved to Northern Industrial Centers. A general movement of southern Negro farmers to northern industrial centers is indicated in a special survey of southern farming districts made by the United States Department of Agriculture. The survey throws additional light on farm population figures recently issued by the department showing a net movement from farms to towns and cities, of 324,000 including men, women, and children in the South Atlantic States in 1922. High industrial wages is given as the chief reason for the reported migration. Bollweevil conditions that year, which made cotton growing unprofitable for a number of Negro farmers, unrest among returning Negro troops who experienced more attractive living conditions away from farms during and after the war, and breakdown of the contract labor system are given as contributory causes. WHITE TENANTS TAKE BRIGHT TO COURT Charging failure to supply hot water and the sending of threatening letters; Mrs. J. Hinchcliffe, 224 West 122d Street, and two other tenants, all white, took their colored landlord, Samuel Bright. Approximately 13 per cent, or 22,000 persons of the total number of Negro farm hands or laborers in Georgia have moved North during past 12 months, the report shows. The movement goes on although crops for the -present season are already started. A large abandonment of acreage is reported, the labor shortage is expected to be a major factor in limiting acreage this season. The situation in Georgia is much worse than is generally realized, the report says. The movement from South Carolina since September 15, 1922, is placed at about 22,750 Negro farmers, or about 3 per cent of the total Negro farmer population. Movement from farm counties estimated about 2 per cent of Negroes living in or near farming communities. - From Alabama comes the reports that approximately 31% per cent of the whole body of Negro farm workers have moved North since the last crop season. Arkansas shows a movement of about 15,000 farm premises or about 31% per cent of the Negro population. Movement from Kentucky has been very small, and from Missouri, North Carolina and Oklahoma no movement is reported. Louisiana reports an exodus of about 1 per cent in the total number of farm hands; Tennessee a movement of about 4,500. New York since April 7, 1922. The farm labor situation in Texas apparently is not as serious as in the Eastern cotton States. WHITE NEIGHBORS FAIL IN FRAME-UP The story printed in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle about the rough house and club at 121 Lefferts Place was investigated by Mr. Merri of the Amsterdam News and found it to be untrse. Mr. Merri at once called the attention of the Eagle editor, who on last Sunday printed an apology to Mr. John Hemerdinger, the owner of the property. Mr. Hemerdinger made his wife a present of the house and it is in a White neighborhood. It is alleged that the White people caused the statement to be printed in order to force the Hemerdingers out. Mr. Hemerdinger is well known in Brooklyn and is reputed to be wealthy. He owns several houses. RACE RIOT NEAR PITTSBURGH BRADDOCK, Pa., April 23.—Two youths are suffering from stab wounds, another is severely cut by flying glass and twenty-eight men—twenty-three Negroes and five whites—are under arrest in Braddock and North Braddock as the result of race rioting, which continued for more than three hours over an area of four blocks between Ninth and Thirteenth Streets on Braddock and Washington Avenues, Braddock, last night.

Hinchcliffe, 224 West 122d Street, and two other tenants, all white, took their colored landlord, Samuel Bright, 229 West 131st Street, to the Washington Heights Court last Monday. Bright declared the move to be persecution on the part of the West Harlem Property Owners' Association. of which Harry Goodstein is president. One of the aims of this association, it is charged, is to keep colored citizens out of certain areas in Harlem. "Out of eleven families living on the premises," says Bright, "one is colored. Most of the white tenants declared that they do not object to the presence of Negroes." The case was adjourned on the request of the complainant's attorney, for two weeks. MOB CHEATED WHEN MAN TAKES OWN LIFE (Preston News Service). ORANGE. Tex. April 23.—Apparently inbued with a desire that the "fair" name of Texas would not be tarnished with another mob violence in its long list of lawlessness Clarence Smith, aged 25 years, is said to have slashed his throat and stabbed himself above the heart while a bowling mob elicored for his body outside the jail here Thursday night. When a few members of the mob came from the back of the jail and reported to mob leaders that the Negro had killed himself in his cell, the mob was quieted and soon dispersed upon the advice of the mob leaders. MEMPHIS MAN GETS CHANGE OF VENUE (Preston News Service). MEMPHIS. Tenn. April 23.—John Cook, charged with having criminally assaulted a white woman was given a change of venue and will be tried in Nashville instead of this city. Judge Richards granted the change of venue after hearing the testimony of Sheriff O. H. Perry. Judge A. B. Pittman of the Circuit Court; Attorney John P. Bell and a newspaper man, F. M. Holmes. In his testimony Sheriff Perry said that Cook could get a fair trial, but he based his favoring a change of venue upon his belief that, while he could and would protect Cook, he might have to kill some people doing so. THREAT IN LETTER RIDGEFIELD PARK. N. J., April 18.—The Rev. C. H.

Performers who win in the individual events are generally considered certain victors in the various sectional intercollegiate track and field meets to be held the latter part of next month and early in June. The University of Pennsylvania relay carnival, oldest and most respected set of games of its kind in the country, bids fair to outstrip former events from the standpoints of quality and quantity. The calibre of competition is such as to warrant a wonderful set of games. Oxford Athletes. Presence of Oxford in the carnival gives the event and its larger binge. Such speeding, year Penn officials add special features with the result the games are sure to grow in popular favor. Michigan will be among the Middle Western institutions represented in the special events. Deart Hubbard, the Wolverine all-around star, will take part in three events. He connects in the huddle with the hurdles and running hop, step and jump. Steve Farrell, able coach of Michigan teams, is authority for the statement that Hubbard will establish a new world's record in the running broad jump before the toilization of his college career, according to Farrell, the colored knick, necessary requirements to record breaking performance. In addition to Hubbard, Michigan will be represented by Brooker in the pole vault. This athlete is one of the most consistent vaulters developed in Western Conference universities in years. He is sure to clear the bar close to 13 feet and may go higher. In his exhibition in the Middle West last winter, Hubbard showed almost faultless form. He has a powerful run, which carries him up in the air. He has an excellent pull-up. This, combined with a perfect singaway and arch, make him a vaulter who will come dangerously close to shattering a number of records. And Now the Shebas With Harold Parker as Sheik Extraordinary at the Renaissance Casino on May 6th Sunday evening, May 6th will be a big one in Harlem if we are to judge by that charming bunch surrounding Harold Parker, now known as Sheik of Sheiks, which will appear at the Renaissance Casino and make their bow as Harlem's real Shebias. Harold has propelled the night which will bring forth the best in entertainers and which we will toll of in our next issue. For years Peto has been Madden's "Man Friday" in helping to bring out the bunch supporting Bill's Saturday Night Assembly, and if he can do this so well for somebody else we do not see why he will not be able to induce hundreds to come out on Sunday evening, but even superior to the Assemblies as we will present an unusual program. They are talking about the Shebias' dance and this means that success will be Harold's on his first big venture to give the young folks something worth while.

West Ranked Greatest of Country's Negro Athletes Preston News Service WASHINGTON, Pa, April 24—Charles West, noted Washington and Jefferson College athlete, has received the highest honors that can fall to a Negro college athlete in American. He is 'just in receipt of a letter from Louis L. Watson, physical director at Howard University, Washington, D.C. requesting him to appear in exhibition track work at the annual meet of the university on May 12. Howard University, one of the leading colleges in the country for Negroes, each year, names the Negro athlete whose work has made him the outstanding figure in race in athletics, and others his appointee. The annual track games. It is said that this nomination and invitation are universally accepted as constituting the highest encomium that can be obtained by any colored youth performing in athletics at an American college. West, while apparently immensely gratified at the honor, has been forced to reject the invitation. W. and J. on that day meet Wesleyan University in a dual meet here, and West is expected to prove one of the biggest factors in any showing the W. and J. men may make. As it happens, Mr. Watson of Howard knows West personally in 1920, run with him in 1920. West will make his first outdoor appearance of the season in the interclass championship games here next Saturday. He will confine his competition, however, to the events complying the petition, in which he will be entered on Friday at the Penn replay's the 220-yard dash, the broad jump, the discuss throw, the javelin throw and the mile run. League Games Sunday Crack Colored Teams Ready for Big Clash at the Oval on Sunday Next Sunday, at Protectory Oval, East Tremont avenue, near 180th street, the first game under the newly-formed Eastern Colored Oval, of which the Lincoln Giants are the local representatives, will be played. The Lincoln will meet the strong Hilldale team from Philadelphia, in a double-header, starting at 2 p. m. Cockrell and Red Ryan will pitch for the Hilldales and Cyclone Joe Williams will pitch for the Lincoln. As both of these teams have been greatly strengthened, two great crowds are looked for and a big crowd is expected. The Catholic Protectory Band will give its usual concert during and before the games. The Lincoln Giants have what appears on paper to be the best team they have had in the last decade. With their old standby and manager, Cyclone Joe Williams, on the mound, assisted by Dave Brown, the greatest colored southpaw hurler: Holland, Wiley and Streeter; they have as strong a pitching staff as there is in semi-pro baseball. Gee, the new catcher, they feel that they have plugged up a strong weakness, as Wiley and Pierce, although almost iron men, succumbed to injuries that greatly handicapped the colored cracks during last season.

APRIL 25. 1923 THE WORLD OF SPORT 203 Temple Court Bldg, Cincinnati, Ohio, April 23, 1923. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Sporting Editor New York Amsterdam News/ New York City. Dear Friend Romeo: Just a few lines in sport to you as I notice in one of your foregoing editions where you are boosting Xenia basketball team for the championship by their victory over Loendi team of Pitsburgh, Pa. I traveled sixty-three miles to Xenia to witness that game and can truthfully say the contest was staged on the square; fact of the matter is the score could have been larger in favor of Xenia. In the beginning Xenia had the "Smoketown" boys 8-0. Sessoms and Posey were helpless. There were only three fouls called in Xenia's favor, while Loendi caged 6 out of 9. From the start the public here figured that Loendi would get beaten as not an eastern team has been successful on a western trip. There are more good, unheard of white and colored teams in the west than there are in the east. For instance, the Original Celtics with Holman, Beckman and Haggerty were easily beaten at A. A. U. rules by the Dayton (Ohio) Delcoes. This team is really the St. Mary's Cadets of Dayton, the best white team in the country, but, as I said before, they are unheard of. The Peerless Club of Cincinnati defeated this white team and all the other white and colored teams in the west just for a pastime. There has never been a white baseball club that ever defeated this Cincinnati colored team. This team at A. A. U. rules will defeat anything in the country, even the Celtics of New York. If ever Peerless would stack up against Loendi the tall Sessoms would be held scoreless and Peerless men would get every ball he would tap off center. The western teams have developed a system of play where the taller the center the harder it is for him. Peerless defeated Xenia by the score of 32-20 and are now considered champions out this way. man, arp as formidable a bunch as could be gathered together, both on defense and offense, as they all good for over 300 per cent with the old willow. The outfield seems to improve with age, as Gans had his best year last year, in his 15 years in the game and bids fair to improve upon this, the coming season. Thomas is another of the tried and true warriors who is always there in a pinch and Poles is properly dubbed the Ty Cobb of his division. Wills, Norfolk and Gans To Appear At Benefit Wills, Norfolk and Gans To Appear At Benefit Program One of the Best Ever Arranged for an Affair of This Kind The big benefit smoker of the Knights of Pythias is going to be some smoker, according to the program as arranged by the committee. Jack Johnson, who was to appear, informed the committee of his having sailed for Havana on the 20th, regretting his inability to be present at this time. This dislays the fact that he was taken care of by the securing of Messrs. Panuma Joe Gans and Kid Norfolk. Both are well known and have many friends in and out of the Order. Harry Wills, the challenger for the world championship, needs no introduction. He is sure to meet a heurty response from all New York. From the reports atrium, there is been a good sale price of tickets from among downtown folks, who will journey to Harlem on the evening of the 28th to enjoy this extraordinary smoker at the 15th Regiment Armory.

Hernandes, although having five lessons to his credit, cannot be discredited, as he was only nosed out in all his games by less than eight.

Who will win the honor of their name going on the trophy for 1922-23 is still in doubt.

RICHMOND, Va., April 24 (Special)-Ben Taylor and his Washington Potomacs are taking advantage of the warm days that are to be found in this section and are fast rounding into the best possible form for this time of year. Taylor has his squad out every day for a four-hour drill. In his squad of over 20 men, he has some very formidable looking youngsters and in all probability will develop some of them to the ranks of sturdy. Joe Washington, a youngster from Georgia, looks and acts the part of a good outfielder; he is big and strong and can cover lbs of ground. He takes a good healthy cut at. the ball and fields and throws from the outside of the plate. Woods. Jefferson and Brown, all veterans and well known to the fans, are showing lots of early season peep. Woods is very strong, hard and he says he will play the fans in the East that he can play ball this year; he claims, as he was with the many clubs in the West that he never got a chance to settle down and show just what he could do. One of the most promising looking youngsters in the Potomac camp is Joe Goodrich, of Texas. Manager Taylor freely predicts that before the season is half over, Goodrich will be ranked along with the best third basemen in the game. Unlike most Texans, he is short and stocky. He is on his feet and fields clean and is especially good on hard hit balls. Goodrich bats from the right side and from early season work will be one of Taylor's best hitters. The pitchers are fast rounding into shape; the veterans, Ross and Carr, are almost in midgeseason form. Maurice Williams, the big righthander, who came to the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s two years ago, and was a sensation until he injured his salary wing, looks good and, in all probability, will come through in fine style this season.

Manager Taylor expects him to turn many games on the won side of the score card this season. The catching staff will be well represented with Eggleston and a youngster from the wister league in Porto Rico. Eggleston looks even better than he did last season and is ready to play with Mackey, at Indianapolis. Clark, the Potomac star shortstop, is expected to arrive in camp any day from Porto Rico. He is expected to bring along several promising players with him. Manager Taylor, "the old reliable," is getting into fine shape himself.

"Salomie" Scores at Lafayette Wonderful Portrayal of Wilde's Drama by Colored Artists at the Lafayette Versatility Shown by Work in "The Chip Woman's Fortune" and O'Neil Should Be Congratulated For His Work. Leading Local Picture Houses Offer Week's Finest Releases Lincoln Presenting Barthelmess in "Fury," While the Franklin Management Have Setured Betty Compson and Bert Lytell in "Kick In." To those who can appreciate the best in drama the Lafayette Theatre will this week be the mecca where they will assemble to applaud the work of a number of our colored artists in a drama which has and will live long to pay its tribute to the brilliance of an author now long dead. Those who have witnessed the work of Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Evelyn Preer, Solomon Bruce and some of the others appearing in this show, expected them to repeat their success scored in other parts of the country, but few expected them to reach the heights which they did at the local theatre on Monday night in the face of an unappreciative gallery which during the entire performance kept those who know to what debts these vultures can descend nervous for fear that they would break out at any moment and spoil a splendid performance of "Salome." Evelyn Preer made her debut in the spoken drama here for the first time on Monday night, and well might we add that it was an auspicious debut as her work is splendid and fully deserving of all the good things said of her in the past. Sidney Kirkpatrick as Herod and Laura Bowman as Herodias were indeed the true conception of what we have formed in our minds of those kings and queens of the past, and that resonant voice of "Jokanama" with its perfect pronunciation will reach out and grip the most exacting audience. Solo mon Bruce is indeed an artist Even Charles Olden came to us. Leading Local Picture Offer Week Lincoln Presenting Barthelmess Franklin Management Hawson and Bert Lyte A classic of the sea. That, briefly, sums up Richard Barthelmess' magnificent production, "Fury," the moving masterpiece on the screen this week at the Lincoln Theatre where it opened an engagement last night. "Tofable David" has been deservedly called a classic of the Virginia hills, but even that drama has been collapsed by the "young star's latest effort. "Fury" is a gem of the bounding main by Edmund Goulding and none of its tang is lost on the screen. Barthelness is seen as "Boy" Leyton, second mate of the "Lady Spray," a picturesque four-masted schooner captained by his father, who is known among the men as "Dog" Leyton. The boy is submissive to the bullying by his father, who thinks the lad has too much "woman" in him. He cringes before him, yet loves him. Two Paramount Stars Won Fame in Crook Roles Betty Compson. Bert Lytell and May McAvoy Are Crooks in."Kick In" Crook roles made 'em famous—and now they're doing them again! Betty Compson agrang from obscurity to fame and stardom by her appearance as the little pick-pocket "Rose" in "The Miracle Man." Bert Lytell was just a successful stock leading man until he scored a big hit in a crook role in "The Lone Wolf" and followed it up with his portrayal in "Allas Jimmy Valentine," which has long been rated one of the greatest box-office attractions ever made. Now, for the first time, these two great "crook" players are joined in a great "crook" play. They, with May McAvey, are featured in "Kick in," a new George Fitzmaurico Paramount picture which Onida Bergere adapted from the Willard Mack stage triumph, and which comes to the Franklin Theatre tomorrow and Friday. Miss Alice Leslie Carter, the international star blues song singer, has returned to her first orchestral love, viz. "Babe" Aldrich and his snappy orchestra from the Hotel Absecon, Atlantic City. These two will appear together during Miss Carter's farewell tour of the country. They will be heard together at the Capitol Ball Room, Newark, on May 3.

The versatility of these popular artists now holding forth at the Lafayette Theatre was shown when as a curtain raiser they offered "The Chip Woman's Fortune." Many expected that this would be just an insignificant little something to kill the time before the presentation of "Sadome," but the merit of this little piece and the acting proved a distinct shock of satisfaction if there is such a thing and one well known writer immediately saw in this little offering something that could be stretched out and played with great advantage for two hours. On the whole, Mr. O'Neil and the people surrounding him can afford to feel very proud and if ever we wished for success, for a play we certainly do for that one at the Lafayette Theatre this week. "TAKE IT EASY" The management of the Lafayette Theatre announced late Monday night that they had decided to bring "Take It Easy." e burlesque show way above the ordinary, to their theatre for a week's run commencing next Monday. This show has begun well spoken of wherever it has appeared and it is even whispered that it is so far above the others of its kind presented here there can be no comparison. same orchestra that made her and Decatur Street Blues" popular. The Famous Ship Is Ready and the Captain Is on Deck to Pilot Her Down the Bay Captain Wilson dropped in the other day to say that he has never seen the famous Moonlight Ship in such perfect condition as she is now, all set to start the big sail down the bay from New Star Casino Wednesday night, May 2d. This means that the old boat had her staterpoms enlarged to accommodate a larger crowd as she has been taxed to capacity on every previous; sail and the captain is at all times seeking to cater to the comfort of his passengers. Allie Ross and his orchestra will furnish the music for that big jam that will join "Cap" on this sail and it will be a merry time for all. the crew of the good ship put in many hours overtime getting her ready for this sail and George Buckner and Walter Hunter, officers of the deck who will direct the dancing, are prepared to see that all hands enjoy the best time ever experienced on a sail on the one and only moonlight excursion to which Greater New York and New Jersey look forward with pleasureable anticipations.

What is destined to become as great a theatrical triumph as the Russian vogue is predicted for the Ethiopian Art Theatre. Under the direction of Raymond O'Nell, a white man, who worked with Max Rhlmhart in Berlin, and who was instrumental in instigating the Moscow Art group in America, the Ethiopian players have been developed. The Ethiopian Art Theatre is composed of a group of 25 colored performers gathered from all sections of the world, who have a repertoire of a half a dozen plays, some of which have never before been attempted in the history of American theatricals. The company is headed by Evelyn Preer and Sidney Kirkpatrick. The first international tour begins in New York during the month of May, probably at the Frazee Theatre. A preliminary engagement will be opened at the Arlington Theatre, Boston, starting the week of April 30. The list of plays to be given by this group is as follows: "Salome," preceded by "The Ship Woman's Fortune," a colored Olkklore comedy; "George," an expressionist play from the German, n 22 scenes; "The Follies of Scapin," a slap-stick comedy by Hollere, played with slap-sticks as written by this noted French author; "The Comedy of Errors," by Shakespeare, played "a la jazz" with a jazz band; "The Taming of the Shrew," and one other to be leached upon. When the company opens, the bill for the first two weeks will be Salome" and will be changed weekly thereafter. Eddie Would Dearly Like To Oblige 15th Cadet Band But Is Unable So to Do on Account of Rehearsals and Other Pressing Work It was to be expected that our friend Eddie Hunter would be called upon to "do his bit" in many affairs among his own people, and that he is willing and anxious to oblige at all times we know only too well. In reproducing the appended letter from Mrs. Jesse Shipp and answering same in behalf of Mr. Hunter, we are doing so hoping that the publicity given the matter will help to attract more support in behalf of the Cadet Band: New York City, April 23. 174 West 136th St. Mr. Edward Hunter. Will you kindly send word concerning benefit for the 15th Infantry, Cadet Band at Lafayette Hall on May 1st at a midnight show? Mrs. Mae Kemp spoke to you concerning same and the committee is holding the printing awaiting your answer. Awaiting a favorable reply I beg to remain. Yours truly. MRS. JESSE SHIPP, JR., Chairman. The dramatic editor of this paper would like to assure Mrs. Shipp that nothing would be more pleasant at this time for Mr. Hunter to do than appear at a benefit in behalf of such a worthy object as the Cadet Band, but speaking as his representative in matters of this kind we find that it will be a physical impossibility at this time for him to get away from rehearsals About Things Theatrical "Liza" left for Philadelphia last week to play two weeks at Gibson's Standard Theatre. Although the Billboard tells us that for eight weeks the people in the show were on half salary while at the Nora Bayes Theatre, we feel that on the road the production will do much better. 1 Irvin Miller informed us before leaving for Philadelphia that he will soon start to write another show. We also had it from Macco Pinkard that he, too, will be writing a show for early production. Some of the people with "Shuffle Along No. 3." we understand, have been "jumping down" without notice although the offering is meeting with some measure of success. "How Come?" came from Gibson's Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia to Broadway while "Liza" left Broadway to go to the Dunbar. Strange indeed is life and we never know what the good Dame Fortune holds in store for us. Lurking somewhere in the background, we believe, is some remedy for those gallery gods that make life hideous on Monday night at the Lafayette. There were also some bums in the audience who tried their best to create disorder and we were hoping when they started for the lobby, to settle an argument they would start a fight outside of the theatre so they could be taken into custody by some stalwart policemen who were quietly sitting in the rear awaiting the opportunity to run them in. Speaking of disorderly conduct in the剧院 reminds us of anincident at the Apollo Theatre at the midnight performance last Wednesday. A well dressed man, who must be placed in the category of a bum as only bums create deliberate disorder on a public place, started some rough stuff but he was only a few seconds on the way when three huskies marched down the aisle, grabbed him and if ever a man was given the bum's rush this Broadway scum got it. It took less than a minute to throw him out of the theatre. White owners of the剧院 in Harlem, for some reason or other, seem to fear that they would be the losers by treating those who make it unpleasant for performers and audiences as they should be treated. The better class of people would welcome drastic measures on the part of the owners as rowdymen is always distasteful to the majority of the people in a theatre. There are also a number of women who will not remove their hats in our the剧院. In the moving picture houses they should run a slide asking them to remove their lids and in the other houses they should send an usher to get these inconsiderate women to remember they are expected to act like ladies even if they are not. It is heartrending to see how some people are forced to dodge and duck behind the latest creations trying to see what is going on. Eddie Hunter, Who Has Been Hailed as Successor to Bert Williams and Now Successfully Heading the Musical Comedy, "How Come?" at the Apollo Theatre. and other work after he is through at the theatre. However, I want to assure both Mrs. Shipp and Mrs. Kemp that after he has given his attention to many things which will occupy his personal attention day and night, for the next few days, Mr. Hunter will gladly lend his service to anything in life, let himself of his own people. I might make bold to say that the genial comedian is looking forward anxiously to that day when he will have the time to give his undivided support and would advise those desirous of taking advantage of the opportunity to present him before his own people in affairs of this kind to get in personal touch with me.

This show received a great deal of free advertising on the other side and will prove to the Londoners they have been imposed upon when they get started. The others are imitations but this batch with Florence in the star female part and Shelton Brooks leading the males will make them sit up and take notice spite of the so-called Invasion. We wonder if Alex Rogers and Jesse Ship are aware of the fact that a colored aggregation in Europe are putting on a show entitled "In Dahomey?" They took "Bandana Land." tried to grab "Bon Buddy" and now they are getting away with "In Dahomey." Why won't these people create their own stuff! "How Come?" with Eddie, Hunter making his nightly hit at the Apollo Theatre, to our way of thinking, should enjoy one of the best runs of a colored show on Broadway. We say this because we note the tendency of those responsible for the production to smile under even what might be considered harsh-criticism and instead of "beefing" get right down to business with the idea of doing those things which will help to make the show an unusual success. Looking at "How Come?" many nights after the first performance we took particular notice that some of the most necessary changes were made and with the addition of Alberta Hunter the production has been improved. Paring and pruning here and there they are doing things which will aid materially in making the offering something to be enjoyed not once, but over and over again. Hunter's idea, which is right in line with the opinion of Sam H. Grisman, is to give down town, something out of the ordinary and to step away from the time worn, moss grown stuff which had no place in the show and which has been thrown into the discard. This is as it should be and those who witnessed the first performance will be surprised to see what can be done when showmen are in a receptive mood and willing to give heed to those who would see them enjoying a success which should be theirs after many sacrifices. Truth to tell, we are again as enthusiastic as we were when the show started for the big opening in this city, and we can enjoy with rare relish the work of all concerned and watch with a feeling of pride the leading comedian whom we have encouraged over a period of almost fifteen years. We have never entertained any doubt of the "arrival" of Eddle Hunter, and what is encouraging almost to the extreme is that Eddle can sense in almost everything we write the underlying motive of trying to do what we can from a newspaper standpoint to help make a deserving production the success we believe it should be. To maintain such a stand in the face of what we suspect must be the howls of so-called friends shows a certain courage and confidence that will help him to bridge chama that would otherwise be his downfall. "Very Good Eddle" is the name now being applied to him and well might his real friends attach such a nickname to "our boy" who has been the real pilot on the theatrical ship which traveled over a sea of obstacles leading from 135th Street to Broadway, and we can conclude with the opinion that such we expected as the ultimate result as he is indeed a "business man." Norfolk, Richmond, Newport News, Raleigh, Durham, Winston-Salem, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Charleston, Parkersburg, Augusta, Oklahoma City, Jacksonville, Chattanooga, Nashville, Tulsa, Little Rock, Greenville, Savannah, Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Toledo, Buffalo, Boston, three weeks of one night stands, Brooklyn, Jersey City and approximately six weeks divided between upper New York State and New England. The route has not yet been laid out but it is said that the jumps will be minimized to a great degree. WHAT WE THOUGHT OF HIM Commencing with our next issue we hope to be able to reproduce some of the matter written on the work of Eddie Hunter twelve years ago, supporting our claim that even at that early day he showed promise of eventually hitting the high spots on Broadway as a comedian.

The entertainment is always given solely for the benefit of the Nursery. No one but the Nursery profits by it. In this respect it is different from most of the entertainments given in New York City. The Nursery's slogan "For Sweet Charity's Sake" means all that it implies. The services rendered to the Nursery by its board members are wholly voluntary. Not only do the board members give of their time unstintingly to keep up this institution, but a glance at the Nursery's annual reports will find their names among its largest years contributors. Would you use crude salt on eggs? The Answer: Certainly not. Crude salt is filled with foreign matter such as gypsum, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, etc. That's why every grain of salt that goes into Bond Bread must first be refined free from these impurities. The "home-made" flavor means too much to risk using a cheeser grade of salt. The nursery is supported only by voluntary contributions, and from the revenue derived from entertainments given by it. It depends principally upon the net receipts of its annual May entertainment or its maintenance. Never before in the 21 years of its existence has it needed support more. During the last year, the nursery has cared for more children than at any time during its history. On many days more than 10 children of working mothers have been accommodated. This has necessarily added greatly to the carrying charges of the nursery. Hope Day Nursery's Dancing Nymphs and Minstrel Cut-ups will present a very interesting program. The Girls Theatrical Club have charge of the program. Thelma Whitaker and Dorothy Embry are the directors. These girls are high school students and also special pupils of the Veston Russian Ballet School, and are well qualified to put the entertainment over. John C. Smith, New York's most popular cornetist and his Modern Dance Orchestra are to furnish the music. DU BOIS TO ADDRESS, BIG "Y" MEETING Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, who has recently returned from a trip to the Pacific Coast, will address the Big Meeting at the West 135th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. on Sunday, April 29th, at 4 P. M.

C., April 24.—The District of Columbia Supreme Court upheld an agreement made by a number of white persons owning real estate not to sell to colored people as binding on the parties to the agreement and not against public policy or in contravention of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. He overruled a motion to dismiss the suit for injunction brought by John Buckley against Mrs. Irene Corrigan and Mrs. Helen Curtis. Mrs. Corrigan, who owned property adjoining Buckley's, sold to Mrs. Helen Curtis, it is said in violation of the agreement among white property holders. In hounding down his decision, Judge McCoy says: "After viewing the authorities at length the weight of authority favored the upholding of the restrictive agreement. A mere restriction is not a violation of the constitutional rights of colored people. Mrs. Curtis was represented by Atty. James A. Cobb, who sought to dismiss the suit.

The parade up and down the avenue got under way early in the day and continued until the slight rain shower came late in the afternoon. Even this did not deter many from enjoying the day. AN ADVERTISER has capitalized the phrase that "clothes make the man" and since man and woman is made in the same factory, clothes may have a lot to do with the making of woman. Harlem has the most beautifully dressed women in the world. Therefore, if there is any truth at all in the saying, Harlem has the most wonderful women in the world. THERE may be some truth in the relation of clothes to the individual but it is not all truth. They may help considerably but there are other necessary attributes to the real man and the real woman. Love, honesty, character, charity and the right spirit toward one's fellowman, must play a great part in the making of men and women, if the world is to progress. Just as we put on new clothes and seek the sunlight of day, so should we revivify our hearts and our consciences. THE STREETS SUNDAY saw hundreds of aged and infirmed men and women and we wondered as we behold the younger generation strolling along and the older generation dragging one foot after another, with but a few more steps to go, if it is true that clothes and all that go with them, are turning the heads of the young woman and the young man against the aged father and mother. Police Confessions FOLLOWING the finding of the murder of a Chinese laundryman in his place of Belfast West One Hundred and Forty-third Street January, three men were arrested and locked up. Tomba Prison charged with the crime, recently, two of the men are supposed to haveessed the crime, each naming the other actual slayer. LAST WEEK all three of the men were from custody because, as Assistant Attorneys stated there was not the slightest evidence to them with the murder. FOLLOWING the finding of the murdered body of a Chinese laundryman in his place of business in West One Hundred and Forty-third Street, last January, three men were arrested and locked up in the Tombs Prison charged with the crime. Subsequently, two of the men are supposed to have confessed the crime, each naming the other as the actual slayer. LAST WEEK all three of the men were released from custody because, as Assistant Attorney Joyce stated there was not the slightest evidence to connect them with the murder. SOMETHING IS WRONG. SOMEWHERE. IF as the Assistant District Attorney says there is no evidence on which the men could be tried, why were they arrested and indicted by the Grand Jury? And, what about the confession? Did the man make a confession of the crime at all or was the confession made by the policemen who arrested them or the detectives who questioned them? The District Attorney has the power to find out these things and we feel that it is his duty to investigate this supposed confession. It is just such cases of this kind which lead the man in the street to believe that the police secure confessions by "third degree" methods and that they are not to be depended on in court. If, as the police say, the men confessed, the District Attorney should have brought them to trial; and if, they did not confess to the crime the policemen who gave out the report that they confessed should be dismissed from the force. IF as the Assistant District Attorney says, is no evidence on which the men could be why they were arrested and indicted by the jury? And, what about the confession? How can make a confession of the crime at all the confession made by the policemen who are the detectives who questioned them District Attorney has the power to and outwits and we feel that it is his duty to invisibly supposed confession. It is just such of this kind which lead the man in the stance that the police secure confessions by degree* methods and that they are not to ended on in court. If, as the police say, confessed, the District Attorney should have them to trial; and if, they did not confess, the policemen who gave out the republic confessed should be dismissed from the Dr. Scott Steps Out ACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE to somewhiliary statements from Emmett J.

Scott, former Secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington and Assis- tent Secretary of War during the Wilson administration, his telegram to Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, cannot help but add a new and more progressive chapter to his career. Though compar- atively a young man, Dr. Scott has been, seemingly by environment and inclination, a member of the old school, following for the most part the line of least resistance. IN HIS TELEGRAM to Mr. Gary, he "ventures to may that there are in this country twelve million Colored people" eight million of whom are in the South, and that "they are citizens of the American Republic. . . Tied to a one crop system and appressed by economic conditions that hinder and improve their highest development." MR. SCOTT has not told Mr. Gary anything he did not know before about the Negro. It is a pleasure, however, to have him tell the steel magnate, in no uncertain terms, that there are laborers aplenty in the country if the country will use them and that it is not necessary to let down the bars of immigration. RECORDS will show that few race riots in this country are instigated by Negroes. In such disturbances his position is invariably on the defensive side, seeking only to protect himself. For this reason constituted authority, the police, militia, deputy aides and the citizenry, if it is in any way interested in preventing riots, should place under arrest the aggressors in racial disturbances. This is ex- RIOTING started the other day when a crowd of white men in Braddock, Pa., became "incensed" by a REPORT that two white girls had been insulted in the colored section of the city. This cowardly mob set out to clean up the colored section and attacked the first two colored men it encountered. The police did not know the identity of the two girls alleged to have been the cause of the trouble; nor have the girls come forth to prefer charges against the men who insulted them. They did know though that white hoodlums had attacked several Negro citizens of the town. TWENTY-THREE colored and five white men were placed under arrest for "rioting." If the police would reverse the figures sometimes and arrest the instigators of riots, riots will soon be a thing of the past. As it is they bend over effort toward the protection of the rioters.

John Walton, an aspiring Negro lad in a Georgia village, wins a scholarship in a Northern university and comes North to study after a narrow escape from lynching at the hands of jealous neighbors. Arriving at the university, he suddenly comes face to face with an old friend, who receives him in a most unexpected manner. Now go on with the story.

HE elegantly dressed white youth that confronted John when the latter emerged from the inner office was no other than Philip Breckenridge, Jr., youngest son of Philip Breckenridge, Sr., the wealthy banker of Salem, and John's supposed father. On seeing Philip visions of the happy boyhood hours both had spent together back in Salem instantly arose in John's mind. Remembrances of the watermelon raids they had made, and their hours of stolen companionship came crowding back into his mind. He remembered how he and Philip had been inseparable companions, until one never-to-be-forgetten afternoon when he was abruptly stopped by Philip's mother as he was about to pass through the door of the great house on the hill. as he had done ever so many times before, and asked where he was going in such a tone that made him instinctively feel that he would be welcome no longer in the rich horse. The incident had burned itself deep into his sensitive soul. Philip had been warned to stay away from him but in spite of the warning had escaped that very afternoon to look for him, and thereafter both used to meet in the woods under a detective tree. This balcony companionship had continued, not without interruption, until Philip had been sent to a preparatory school in Atlanta. After this they had met from time to time but Philip's demeanor had changed somewhat 2and the bond was weakened. Now on seeing Philip again all the bitter memories had faded leaving only the sweet, forgetting smile but joy of seeing an old chum, and a fellowwoman—the first he had seen since he entered this new exciting, environment—he had sprung instinctively to greet him. Now at the look on the other's face the welcome faded out of his eyes, and his hand dropped slowly to his side. He became painfully conscious of his cheap suit, shabby bat, worn shoes, and countified appearance in contrast to the well-tailored brown suit, the fashionable collar and the tie, and the elegant appearance of Philip. He stammered: "Maddy, Phi—Mr. Breckenridge." The other bowed almost imperceptibly. "What're you doing here," demanded brusely. "I'm studying." Muttering an oath Philip Brockenridge left him abruptly and strode toward the desk. "When did he get here?" he asked the clerk angrily, pointing at John's retreating figure. "Today. He's the winner of the Arnold scholarship." "The h— he is." he said, savagely. His added chagrin. Philip learned that John was taking the same college course as himself and that both were in the same classes. Instinctively he saw that he would have a strong rival—a stiff classmate to work against. The idea of having to compete with a Negro was most repulsive to him and demanding to see the registrar he asked to be put into another class. "It's too late now." said that of John Wallout, first task was to secure employment for his spare hours. The $300 scholarship fund he decided, was to go to the support of his mother and her aged father. On applying to the clerk in charge of employment he was directed to the bulletin board in the good offices listed—bum boys, clerks, handsome. Seeing one offered two meals a day for one hours work at boon clearing soiled dishes he applied for it, and was given a card to the manager of the restaurant. A single glance at him, however, and the flustered manager stammeringly told him that the place had already been filled. On seeing his disappointed face, she added sweetly; take your name and let you 'know when there's a vacancy.' Back at the university John returned the card to the clerk "The job is filled," he said. "That's strange," was the reply, "They wanted four. There must be some mistake." She called up the restaurant and after a brief conversation with the manager said o: John: "I'll get you something else." Several days later John saw the same job on the board, and overheard two of his white class-mates inducing a third to go to work with them at the same restaurant. "How funny northern race prejudice is," he said, "I can mix with white people up here, and yet I can't get me a job taking out dirty dishes. Neither of these would have happened down south." The next day, however, he was called to the office and offered a position in a private family. In exchange for tending the furnace and doing old jobs about the house he would receive room and board. He accepted readily and with the help of his friends buckled down to his studies working at least eighteen hours a day. One evening a few weeks later he was briskly sweeping the last of the autumn leaves from the slide. CHAPTER VIII. THIS FIRST.

A white youth that confronted her emerged from the inner Christian Philip Breckenridge, Jr., Breckenridge, Sr., the wealthy supposed father. Of the happy boyhood hours back in Salem instantly aroseences of the watermelon raids hours of stolen companionship mind. He remembered how parable companions, until one moon when he was abruptly as he was about to pass seat house on the hill. as he before, and asked where he that made him instinctively no longer in the rich horse. If deep into his sensitive soul. walk when he saw Philip drive by in his new car. He had felt angry with himself for having given Philip the occasion to wub him and now the thought returned to torment him at sight of him. Finally he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I should have known better but after all wasn't I acting as a real human should." As he saw the shining new car of the other and thought of his own strained circumstances he said to himself: "How lucky he is. Just think if I had his leisure and could devote all my time to my studies!" He went on to reflect on the great hardships he had encountered to get his scholarship and of how Philip's way had been all paved for him from birth. "How much life is." he mused, "Some have everything and others nothing. Well, there's no use crying over it. The only way I can see to change it is to work hard. Did I say I had nothing? I'm dead wrong. I have the will to win and I am going to show 'em." He continued with decision: "I'm going to beat Phil. See if I don't." And he started to conjugate a French verb in his mind for the morrow's lesson. Philp drew up his automobile at the sidwalk to speak to a couple who was approaching. As John advanced sweeping briskly he saw that the pair was Prof. Wellington Bruce and his wife. Prof. Bruce was his geology instructor. They were coming in his direction. Prof. Belloue he gave up. Prof. Bruce he came up. Then turning to his wife he said, "this is John Walton, the winner of the Arnold scholarship and one of my brightest students." "Good evening, Mr. Walton, Mr. Bruce has told me of you many times," she said as she went on to congratulate him of his success. John shook the extended hand warmly. He felt a strange, indefeable restraint in her geeting, however. She was cordial to be sure but he had detected a sad look, a remor of alarm, as it were, suddenly sweep over her face on meeting him. John had no time to analyze the strachn look in Mrs. Bruce's face for her husband continued: "She was just coming to see you Miss Williams at the office has told me that you wanted more work. Is that so?" "Yes, sir. I'm working here with Mrs. Stewart for my room and board but I need a little spending money." "Well. Mrs. Bruce needs some one to help her a little, cleaning the porches, sweeping the sidewalk and making the fire in the mornings to make more than an hour or so a day. Do you think you'd like it?" "I'd be delighted." "Mrs. Bruce will give you $5 a week and pay you extra for cleaning the windows. There's our house just two doors down. No. 372," he added pointing to a neat wooden house with a porch, on the same side of the street. "Thank you, sir." "You can start tonight. Sweep off our sidewalk when you're finished, if you've time." Again John noticed the same queer look in Mrs. Bruce's eyes—a look that puzzled him. And thus he accepted a job, which could he have seen into the future, he would have avoided as the mans. Considerably cheered with the prospect of the $ve dollars, and the thought of the new suit he would soon be able to buy, John buckled down to his work again sweeping off the walk with raph strokes right and left, oblivious of everything else. Presently he started as he felt the broom strike something, and saw a lady's handbag fall to the grass. Looking quickly up he saw a colored girl. She had come noisily upon him, and had been trying to pass. John stood transfixed for a moment as he found himself looking into the eyes of the most charming girl he had ever seen. Quickly recovering, however, he picked up the big, dusted it off and said as he returned it to her with a bow. "I apologize for having mono FEATURE By J.A. Rogers Author of "From Man to Superman" By the Kelley Newbery Feature Service CHAPTER IX. colized the sidewalk. I hope I didn't soil your dress." "We'll let you off this time," said the fair one, with an engaging smile, brushing off her dress. John found her voice as charming as her face and figure. Then he realized for the first time that there was another girl present. John's grins started to walk on. John felt humble to remain them. He tried hard to find something that would start a conversation but for the life of him he could not. When he did they had gone too far. He continued to gaze at the retreating figures. Never before had he met a girl who appealed as strongly to him. He hoped that she would at least look back but she did not. The other one did, however. He had been so busy that he had not been able to look up the colored people in the town. Now he resolved to do so. He would find that girl again. The next day he described the ladies to two colored fellow students but received no satisfactory clue. The next Saturday evening, science book in hand, studying as he went, he walked down to the little town to look up to look up some of the colored people. Closing to a Negro barber shop he saw a man standing outside. After introducing himself, he began to ask about the colored population. "Many colored people in this town" "Oh, about seventy-five, perhaps a hundred." "So many. I have seen only two so far," and he went on to describe the girl whose identity he was trying to by another. Further t-shirt—about to my chin—light skin, nice even teeth, well built. He felt like adding, "and a smile like Heaven." "Oh, that must be Lucille Page. She works fi. Madame Jean's beauty parlor on Marie avenue." "Lucille!" murmured John, as thankening his informer he wandered off to find Maple avenue. As he went on he began to wonder what excuses he could invent for a second meeting. If indeed it was she. When he arrived there, however, the place was closed. He decided to go to church the next morning. Perhaps he would meet her there. After walking around almighty for a while he decided to return home, and shake up the fire. After that he would go over to Bruce's home, and do the same. As he walked home he thought of Mrs. Bruce of the queer look in her eyes the first time she had met him. When he first entered the Bruce household it seemed to him she was trying to avoid him. Later she had been told she would ask him many questions about the South and the colored people. At times he could notice a look in her face that reminded him of a hunted animal. Having shaken down the furnace and thrown some coal on it, he went upstairs into the library. The professor had told him that he could use it whenever he wished. Selecting a book on astronomy he sat down to read. After reading some time he heard a sound as if some object were, according to back stairs. "It is Mrs. Bruce," he said as he continued reading. He remembered that Prof. Bruce had gone to attend a meeting at the club. Suddenly he became aware of voices upstairs. Going to the foot of the stairs he thought he recognized Mrs. Bruce's voice: there was another that sounded like a man. He had never heard it before. The voices were quarrelling and grew louder and louder. He started to climb the stairs. Mrs. Bruce say distinctly: "Go away. My husband will be here any moment." A burglar thought John as he bounded up the stairs. "For God's sake go," he heard her cry in distress. The door was ajar. John dashed in. Mrs. Bruce with a pailter that contrasted strangel. with her Japanese kimono, was sitting supinely in a chair. There was no sign of anyone else. Is it a burglar?" cried John. "Did you hear someone?" she asked. She weak voice. John was mystified he recovered his presence of mind sufficiently to get the smelling salts. When she had recovered some what she pleaded: "Will you do me a great favor and don't say anything of this to anyone?" John hesitated. "It's nothing compromising I assure you. Won't you promise me" John promised. Suddenly 'she said: "John you are very kind. Perhaps--won't you help me. I have a secret that worries me day hnd night. I dare not tell anyone, not even my husband. Won't you help me? Somehow I feel I can tell you." "You can glidly do so. Mrs. Bruce." Sympathetically at the sight of hot drawn face. "Will you promise not to tell anyone." "I promise!" "Well, go downstairs and I'll be right down." "You'd better let me help you." "No. I'm all right now." She arrived downstairs in a state of great agitation.

This is very true with most of us in our thought of the part water plays in the economy and workings of the human system. Let us see how important this element of water is in the complete fulfillment of life. The element of water enters in all life. The animal, the vegetable, and the mineral kingdoms all need this life-giving constituent. Man seems to need it more than all. Let us consider some of the important organs in the mechanism of man, and we shall see that water is a predominating and constant element. The blood passes through every organ of the body and carries the nutrition to support life. This blood contains over 90 per cent of water. chanism that controls the workings of these organs, contains from 85 to 90 per cent of water. The liver, the important digestive organ that manufactures the bile juice which enters into the complete digestion of our foods, contains 75 per cent of water. The saliva, the secretion of the mouth, that changes many of our foods into a form that is easily digested, is almost all water (99.5 per cent). The bones of the body, which are the framework upon which the other tissues are superimposed, and whose strength is one and one-fourth times as great as cast iron, is composed of 40 per cent water. This will demonstrate beyond any doubt the importance of water, in the human system. Water increases the muscular movements of the intestines and thus avoids constipation. These truths have been found to be so after years of experience and scientific research. Human beings need to drink a sufficient amount of water to avoid disease. Rubber, a physiological investigator, states that a fasting animal may lose all its sugar and fat, and also one-half of its protein food and still live: Book b MARY WHITE "The Dunbar Speak HIS pook is exactly what selections to be used at socials.

Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON HIS pook is exactly what its title sets forth. It contains selections to be used at entertainments, churches, schools, socials. At the back, suggestions are given for celebrations for Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Emancipation Day and Lincoln-Douglas celebrations. With these programs is suggested music. The compiler adds, "It is hoped that teachers will suggest to their schools other programs which will show to the boys and girls the wide range of the writings of the men and women of their own race." I confess to having been deeply thrilled by turning over the pages of this volume. It took me back to the days when I myself used to recite at school and church entertainments. I found "How He Saved St. Michaels," one of my especial favorites. There are familiar poems by Whittler, Pierrepont, Bryant, as well as, by a host of able colored writers. Each selection is carefully chosen with regard of its value from the viewpoint of the spoken word. others but is new to me. What have these Franks? Desilynes says, "that we are their household chattails—that we are their beasts? They surfer from the heat more than we, their sight is less keen, the evening dews hasten them to their graves and the noonday's sun finds them under cover. The very thbres of their frames are weak and puny, and, as the gods allotted labor for the part of man, they must depend on us to carry out the law." And he ends with this battle cry, "If Among the orations is one called "Dessallines" which I doubt not is very familiar to of what I am going to tell you to anyone," she pleaded, as he placed a chair for her. "I give my word" affirmed John, tenely as he waited almost stuffed with astonishment. Bracing herself for the effort she began: "You would never believe what I am going to tell you."

The blood passes and carries the nutrition to support her cent of water. but if it loses one-tenth of its water, it dies. We are continually losing water from our bodies through the lungs, kidneys, skin and bowels. Thus it is essential to make up for this continual loss by taking a daily sufficient amount of water. Water is taken into the system through our foods; such as vegetables, milk and other liquids, but largely by pure, unmixed glasses of water daily. We have often heard the statement that water should not be taken with meals because it dilutes the gastric juice in the stomach. This statement has been found to be false and without scientific basis. Researchers have been made recently establishing the fact that water taken with the meals stimulates the stomach cells to an increased flow of gastric juice. In other words, water is a chemical stimulant to the gastric cells. It has also been recently found that the water taken at meals, after its stimulation of the gastric cells, in 15 minutes leaves the stomach and passes into the small intestines, and therefore, does not hinder the digestion of the other solid foods in the stomach. The time to drink water, then, is with the meals. Every one should take at least three to four glasses every day. Chat by JE OVINGTON "Kicker and Entertainer" its title sets forth.

They suffer from the heat more than we, their sight is less keen, the evening dawns hasten them to their graves and the noonday's sun finds them under cove. The very fibres of their frames are weak and pung, and, as the gods allotted labor for the part of man, they must depend on us to carry out the law." And he ends with this battle cry, "If you will be brutes, he lives." This is followed by perhaps the most striking bit in all action relating to the Negro since Uncle Tom's Cabin, the story of "The Sisters" from Chestnut's "The Marrow of Tradition." One would love to hear Mrs. Dunbar-Nelson herself recite this story. For humor we have Dunbar, James W. Johnson's "Tunk" and a delicious bit of dialogue by Ruth McKenney Stuart. The bummer, however, is very slight in proportion to the serious and tragic.
