CHAMPIONS CAUSE OF SCULPTRESS
Members of Ethical Culture Society Sails to France in Behalf of Miss Savage—Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown Confident France Will Not Countenance Discrimination.
The question of discrimination against students of Negro blood assumed international importance with the sailing Saturday of one of the leaders of the Ethical Culture Society of this city to make a formal protest to the French authorities at Fontalbienu.
Augusta Savage, twenty-three, of 228 West 139th street has been refused admission to the Fontainbleau School of Arts because of her racial identity. The school she expected to attend is a Summer school for American architects, painters and sculptors at the Palace of Fontalbienu, and is under the patronage of the French Government. Miss Savage is the only woman present to attend the institution.
The refusal was made by a committee of American men which has the power to select one hundred American students as it seeks it. Mike Savage's application was in charge of Ernest Palvotto, the painter.
The representative of the Ethical Culture, who will take up the matter with the French authorities—Alfred W. Martin, cf. 995 Madison avenue—said he felt certain the French people would not approve of discrimination on racial grounds.
The Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. B. Zion Church, in his course Sunday said that a great injustice had been done to Mike Savage and that he is confident, when the facts are placed before the French Government, its officials will make known that France does not contenance such discrimination.
"Miss Savage's brother fought with the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. It would be a step at all talk about making the world safe for democracy if this young woman is denied the right to attend the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts; it would be two civilians an incongruity," Dr. Brown said.
Dr. Gertrude Curtis McPherson and Capt M. V. Routte have suggested that funds be raised to send Miss Savage to France to complete her studies in art.

Lands on Top of Roof in 140th Street; Is Given Summons For Breaking Sabbath; Unable to Appear in Court; Pleads Guilty.
Lieut. Hubert Julian's daredevil leap of last Sunday afternoon had an unexpected sequel when Marie trate George Simpson issued a court summons to Patrolman George Braveman of the 80th Product ordering Julian to appear in court.
Julian who had been served a summons by Braveman to answer a charge of Sabbath breaking tail to him, an unlawful arrest on his property, and a summons by Bernard Peat, Seventh Avenue, a friend of his who pleaded guilty for him. Bernard explained that Julian's ankle had been severely wrenched by a cord as he was about to land, and was now under the doctors care.
"I haven't much consideration for these daredevil" said Magistrate Simpson as he issued the commons for the aviator to appear in court the latter part of the week.
Jullan, jumped with a parachute from 2,000 feet above the College of the City of New York. 19th Street and Amsterdam Avenue to the roof of a three-story tenement, No. 301 West 140th Street.
Amsterdam Avenue was thronged with promoters at 8:30 o'clock when three airplanes began circling the college. Two powder bombs were exploded from one of the machines. Then the spectators saw a streak of red hurldown and unfurl a parachute and slowly drift with the wind.
Jullan had planned to land in a lot in 129th Street near Seventh Avenue, but the wind forced him to the tenement roof. When he landed a concerted rush to reach the spot was made by the spectators, some of whom were thrown through the show window of the International Tailor Shop, No. 301 West 140th Street. The free rolling around the College Station Post Office at No. 665 was torn from its stanchions and the showcase in front of Jacobson's Department Store on the corner was smashed.
The jump by Julian scheduled several weeks ago, had been postponed on account of the weather.
WIFE OF GEO. NEWMAN EFFECTS HIS RELEASE
George Newman, 1 West 189th street, who has spent more than a month in the Tomb under judgment for the alleged abandonment of his four small children, has been released on his own recognition by Judge Tullery in General Sessions. Newman pleaded guilty to the charge a week ago, but when told that he might be sent to prison for two years withdrew the plea.
The indictment was filed on complaint of Newman's wife, who claimed he had desorced her and the children on January 1. She asserted that her husband had always neglected her and the children and she had been forced to live on the chthity of her neighbors.
Recently Mrs. Newman has petitioned Assistant District Attorney Pauline Field to release her husband, alleging he had promised to support her and the children in the future.

Following your instructions your correspondent arrived in Charlotte Amalie, capital of the once thriving town of St. Thomas, Virginia islands of the United States of America, a week before the coming of the Congressional Party headed by the Blum. Ninety Danny, Secretary of the Navy, my observations in these columns while in the hating of St. Cruz (Santa Cruz) no far as the political aspects of things are concerned, drew the fire of the Holloway, and when I am new about to record I expect will again set fire to their imagination.
Mob violence is now directed chiefly against white persons, even women, as contrasted with the previous record chiefly against Negroes, according to a report just issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, which points out that in the 103 cases of lynching, tarring and feathering or flogging in the last six months of 1922, "over two-thirds of the victims were white men and women." Among the 32 Negroes in the record, 20 were lynched. "When a mob goes after a Negro, in most cases," the report states, "it does not stop the violence." Presenting the results of mob violence in the United States, the Civil Liberties Union claims that "a marked increase in the number of cases" and claims that "the violence is in more cases the result of an organized campaign of terrorism and lawless assumption of power by private organizations, notably the Ku Klux."
Stating that "Treasures leads all the other states in sojourns and earrings and featherings," the Civil Liberties report claims that the increase in such violence "in the product of the class feeling and prejudice aimed by the war. The dominant group behind organized hate violence is that of white, President and Gogolite Southern Klim with the object of charm supremacy, private vengeance, and insulting actions of enticing the moral code." Clare Keating summarizes.
While most of the mob violence in the last two years took place in the South and Southwest, "there were scattered cases throughout the West, and a few cases in the East," the report states. "The record totals nearly 600 victims of the lowest count, not including old victims, thus averaging over one person a day."

COLUMBIA, Mo., April 10.—Protesting his innocence on the very last, James T. Scott, a colored janitor employed by the University of Missouri, was lynched by a man of two men, while another from the university body, and female, lobbed on Sunday. Scott had been charged with an attempted assault on the daughter of Prof. Almsted, head of the university's German department.
The only answer to Scott's prosecution of his innocence was a shot of derision. A boy adjusted the rope to Scott's neck and tiled it to the bridge railing.
The girl, it is claimed, was lured to a lonely spot on the railway track April 20. It is further claimed that she positively identified Scott as the man who attempted to attack her.
Fred. Alleged pleaded with the mob to help Scott and let the law take its course, but the mob, thirsty like animals for blood, refused to saddle the man.

Harding Institute Divorce Proceedings
What promised to be a diverse trial friend with little interest in talks was instituted by Harding Harding, a well-known philanthropist, who a few years ago was quite a prominent athlete.
Counselor Robert Dellimore recently placed on the list trial in the Juvenile Court the case Harding by Mr. Harding named by Vicki Vanderwasser Harding of New Jersey, but more recently of New York. It is hinted that Mr. Harding will fight the past, although the plaintiff feels that when the case is called for trial there will be enough discovered to warrant the step he is taking.
Both parties are put only well known in this city, but like in New Jersey, where they lived shortly after their marriage some year ago, and where Mrs. Harding has lived all her life up to the time she decided to change her residence to Warlem.

Colored Man Mobbed, Robbed, and Sentenced to Death; His Baby and Wife Beaten; State Supreme Court Orders New Trial
Colored Man Mobbed, Robbed, and Sentenced to Death; His Baby and Wife Beaten; State Supreme Court Orders New Trial
A story of mob outrage committed by white men of Salida County, South Carolina, upon a peaceable and well-to-do Negro, who was robbed and then sentenced to death, and for whom a new trial has been ordered by the State Supreme Court was made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The story is given in a letter written by the Negro Elliott Culbreath as follows:
"My trouble arrived on the 6th Saturday night in November, 1920. I was in my bed asleep and a mob of white men came to my house and started shooting, and why they did that I don't know. They never said hello or anything and they broke the back door open. My wife and children were taken, both—and my wife and children began screaming and yelling and my wife was holding the front door and one of the children. One woke me up. They were shooting in the house and I asked them, what the matter was and they said to me there is a crowd out there after you. I ran to the back door and they shot at me and I ran behind the bed and got my pistol an) I shot two (shots) out of the door. But I did not hit anybody. When they stopped shooting they ran to the woods and stayed there a quarter of an hour and I heard them coming back.
"They called my wife and asked her, hadn't they killed me, and she told them, no; he has just left here and they went behind the house and looked in the alley. And they found one of their men dead and they said: 'I thought that I had killed the Nigger; I shot the wrong man.' My wife told the next morning (what had been said) and they beat her and put her in jail and kept here there three months. They told her if she told what they said, they would kill her.
That morning they run them all away from home and beat them all and the little baby was crying for bread and this knocked a hole in my baby's head with a pistol. They stayed there and ate my food for two weeks. They left their automobile and slept there. They got there at 11 o'clock at night. If they had called me I would have gone anywhere they wanted me to. Because I have never done anything to anybody. My pistol was a .33 (callibre) and the man was killed with a .33. You see that there was no way for me to kill that man, and the paper stated that he was killed with a .33 callibre. They came over here to the state penitentiary three times trying to make me tell them who done the killing. They are now punishing me for it, and know they punish me for what one of their own men done. They said I shot him through the crack and there is no crack in my house. I asked the lawyer to go to my house and look because there is no crack in my house.
"They had loaned me $1,800.50 to pay up what is owed, and the same time the trouble happened. They took all that I had, even to my household and kitchen furniture, and they took my clothes and my wife's clothes and all the chickens and my gun out of my house. They took 150 chickens, 14 hogs, 5 turkeys, 6 geese, 150 gallons of cyrup, 15 bushels of peanuts, all of my sweet potatoes, about 25 or 30 bushels, and about 20 bushels of pean. They took my gold watch value $90, and my wife's watch value $40, and the girl's watch worth $1, and $65 in cash and a car worth $700. The whole value is about $8,000. My tax bill was from $80 to $85 every year, and I always have arranged to pay them.
"My wife has not been back there since this trouble happened and none of the children neither. I will tell you all to host that they even burned up my father's big house. Write to Epworth, B. C. to C. N. Hane—he will tell you all about R. Mr. E.—is my lawyer, but he doesn't seem to do any thing for me. Dear sir, if you can, please help, for I have not had a fair trial, and they will not give me no fair trial in South Carolina.
"When they tried me the last time the jury brought out a verdict of not guilty and the judge made them go back in the room and change their decision. My lawyer left before the jury came out and the judge told me that one juror gave me life and eleven want to turn and lose. The sheriff told my wife that if she would owe her kid, that they were going to bail him in any of the rest of my people and they were scared to send to the court house and tell the truth about it.
What they took from me was
they took them and caught all I had and I want it to go in the papers the way they done me. We can get the money by using the county for $10,600. . . .
The State Supreme Court in reviewing the man's trial said that no one had been deprived to make the arrest of Calibrath. A hand of men gathered at his house and someone called that the sheriff was there with a warrant, which was untrue, according to the Supreme Court's review. The sentence of death was held unjustified because the man was facing out of fear and not to escape arrest.
Department. Governor Hough. did the honors, and it was inspiring to note that the colored men representing the three islands in the Colonial Council are upstanding and intelligent and impressed the lawmakers here from Washington.
Before going deeper into the history making events about to trap spire, as the learned gentlemen from the United States and the Virginia "not together," let me reproduce some comment in the Tribune of St. Croix near my last article. Judging from the editorial in this paper, which seems to have quite a following, I am on safer ground. Send the Tribune: "In this edition we copy an article from the New York Amsterdam News, a Negro paper of good standing. The last mail brought in an issue of the Amsterdam News containing a report of a mass meeting where Hoostein and a couple of others spoke. Their subject was a repetition of what they had written in the Negro World, the Government and Judge Payne, being used as the targets.
"The writer of the article, which we reprint today, seems to be better posted on conditions in St. Thomas. His reference to the holding of land by the Danes is a little vague. The Danes do not own all the land. The Danes would sell all of their holdings at reasonable prices if purchasers could be found. The Danes are not such bad people after all. While the Americans extend charity by paying our doctors and certain other officials and by helping us to balance our budget, the Danes opened up industries whereby the people could earn their livelihood independently.
"In the main points the writer has given a very comprehensive view of the situation. Americans on the mainland ought to be told that the tales of horror and woe related by the Haitian group are without foundation. As for our part, we shall exercise our right to

pass upon public matters, but shall always endeavor to let our criticism be of a constructive nature."
I simply reproduce this article to calligraphy such men as the Hon. James Weldon Johnson, Dr. W. E. DuBois and others, who have been touched with tales from the other group of which one Rothschild Francis is the leader here in St. Thomas. I have found that the majority of the people are content to allow their representatives in the Colonial Council be their spokesmen, and it was rather surprising to find that the leading people here are not at all awayed or in any way moved by the propagandists seeking to bring about miracles in a night.
Two branches of labor unions have found life here, but the one which seems to have the ear of the people and to hold the attention of employers is the one led by George

Morehead, himself a member of the legislative body of the islands.
The landing of the Secretary of the Navy and the Congressional party, with about twenty representatives from the big dalles of America, drew an unusually large concourse of people to the landing place, where, among other the first things Mr. Danby did was to march to the leader of the United States Naval Band, stationed there and congratulate this brilliant young bandmaster, who last summer was so royally received in Washington and New York. All the bandmen are colored, and in their spotlessly clean white uniforms made a most impressive figure that drew from the Secretary and the other gentlemen words most complimentary on their playing and deportment.
At two o'clock in the afternoon the party met at the Administrative Building and the Governor and members of the councils of both islands, St. Thomas and St. Croix, laid before their proposals for bettering the economic condition of the islands. In the course

of the proceedings, it was left to member Leroy Nolte to throw the bombshield, the echo of which is still being sent back from the hills. This man Nolte is one of the most brilliant and able men in the islands. As a journalist he ranks among the tomost and his name will be remembered by Americans as the man who made the speech making speech on the occasion of the taking over of the islands by the United States Government. In a voice that could be heard in every corner, of the building, Nolte boldly asserted that all propaganda against the officials here and the government sponsored by the so-called "Bolivarians" were lies. He went further and in no uncertain terms denied one to say that he did not speak truthfully when he asserted that those responsible for sponsoring those attacks were boldly lying to further their own interests.

came as a sensational revelation. Minister Ruthschild Francis, sitting as a Councillor, appeared to be like a man suffering from a sudden and unexpected shot.
Not a move did he make to attempt to ratute what Member Nolte had openly charged him with; not an attempt did he make even for the sake of his few followers to justify his so-called "leadership," and when the smoke of battle cleared, word ran through the building that Nolte had thrown the biggest wreck what was ever hurled into the machinery of politics, leaving Francis high and dry in the sands of despair. How this gentleman excused his lack of action to his followers is a problem which only he can solve. However, the next day, and after the congressional party and the newspaper men had left the island, he hurled a vicious broadside in the direction of the veteran editor, which, however, failed of its mark. Nolte is highly esteemed here and the courage shown in his stand where it would do the most good

The University of Pennsylvania Roby Game, held last Friday and Saturday at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, brought to light the championship ability of two colored athletes, both of whom bid for places on the 1924 Olympic Team. In the person of Charlie West of Washington and Jefferson College, and Derrick Hubbard of the University of Michigan.
Friday, West, who is quite a football player, won the all-around championship, with a low score of 16 points, finishing first in front of P. F. Moroney, of Georgetown.
Frank Elkins the Haskell Indian School crack; Newton, of Florida University, and A. Plansky, of Georgetown.
The winner, placed first in the jersey throw, with the distance of 169 ft. 61 in.; 1,500-metre race, in 4165 3:5; tied for first in the 220-metre dash; fourth in the broad jump, and ninth in the discus throw.

event.
De Hart Hubbard, who is now a
student of the University of Michigan,
and track ace of that school,
won both events he competed in,
the running broad jump and the
hop, skip and jump. He set a new
American intercollegiate record in
the latter event, with a leap of 16
ft. 10% inchee, and had little dif-
fulty in coming home a winner
in his specialty. His nearest on-
ponent was exactly 2 feet behind,
while last year's intercollegiate
competition, Reed, of Brown, could
differ more than 21 ft. 7 inches.

Utopia Neighborhood Club in Another Great Success
Thousands Pack New Star Casino to Witness Annual Demonstration by Leading Harlem Modistes
We expected that the Utopia Neighborhood Club would again come into its own at New Star Casino Friday night. April 21st. but we must confess that the affair was over in a manner which surpassed all previous efforts and like good wine. Utopia affairs seem to grow better with time.
Then comes the thought that must credit must be given Mrs. Delay Reed and those noble women, who have no steadfastly supported her from the first day past, were carried through by the organization for coming before the public at the same place. Fascinating and most up to date were the occasions which the modistes and milliners had to offer, and dazzled were the riot of colors which marked the 1923 success of the club.
From early evening until the early dawn a strong of enthusiasm people poured into the Casino, and at midnight the place was taxed to accommodate the large crowd bent on enjoying one of those rare entertainments which only the Utopia furnishes. True, we can surpass our story with the emblematic look for on occasions in the field, but we are wondering it can and the superstores and drive more firmly to the reader the success of Utopia. We doubt it.

Jones and Williams Leading in Billiard Tourney
Hoagland Finishes His Three and Is Expected to Be Among Leaders at the Finish
With the finishing of the 18-2 Balkline Championship Round Robin in sight, the interest of the players has not let up, and the winner is yet to be seen. Clarence Jones seems to have a slight edge on first place; George Williams is pushing him close. Jones has yet three games to play and one of them is with Williams. Should he drop to him, and Williams lose one out of the five he has to play, the result would be a tie: if Williams wins four of his five from the other players, and Jones from two, this would be a match between Williams and Jones for first place.
Williams had a narrow escape from President Scott, who be nosed out in the 99th hole. Hoagland has finished his string and is sure to be among the first three. If none of the rear bunch get good breaks, on the whole this is the best Round P'oin since 1917. The winner will have come through a tough buirn of 18-2 players. The club's complimentary banquet will be held about May 20th. Standing of players to date, May 26th:

Alberta Hunter Heads Bill
At the Ball Where the Sheba of Shebas Will Be Uncovered by Harold Parker
If for nothing else than the fact that Alberta Hunter will hand the big bill which will be a part of the entertainment at the Resilience Casino Sunday night, April 6th, we would be issuing a guarantee that an unusually large crowd will attend the dance that will uncover for the first time the 'Sheba of Shebas.' Harold (Pete) Parker has undertaken the hard job of selecting the real Sheba of the community, and apparently he is not losing any sleep over the task, as he is going about with a smile which says he has been successful in securing this desert queen, who will make all others pale into insignificance.
Glanding at one of the handbills we can at least predict that many Abokis will vie with Rodolph himself on the above occasion, for Harold has seen to it that he be surrounded by us as charming a galaxy of Shibas as ever graced an affair of this kind, and we conclude with the opinion that in this pudding, like in all others, will be the testing, and none can afford not to be on hand.

PHILADELPHIA, April 29th (Special to Amsterdam News)—Fully 17,000 people, a record crowd, were in attendance at Hilldale Park here this afternoon at the opening game of the newly formed Eastern Colored League and saw Manager Bolden's boys rump off with a well-earned victory over the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City by the score of 4 to 2. the game being called in the last half of the sixth, the inning being uncompleted, with Hilldale at the bat and one out. The Bacharachs fought a hard battle, but were outclassed by the brilliant pitching of "Ping" Gardner, who allowed but two hits, both of which were doubles, and each figured in their scoring. The fifth inning was the only one in which the loosers threatened, Gardner having them under control throughout.
It did not take Hildale long to dent the home plate. Briggs hit the first half pitched for a roaring double in the crowd in left field. Warfield set down a neat sacrifice. Captain Lloyd then hit to Lundy. Briggs starting for the plate, stopped half way. Lundy throwing the ball low to Jones and Briggs scampered back to third. Lloyd continuing on to second while Jones held the ball. Clint Thomas sent a roousing single to center, Briggs and Lloyd scoring. Mackay then singled, sending Thomas to third, and the latter scored on a double steal. Lundy making a wild peg on the return. In the 5th, Warfield scored due to Cummings' error on his grounder. Lloyd's double sending him to third, and he scored, siding under Cumming's return after Francis had pugged Thomas out at first.
The Bacharachs scored their two when Lundy doubled. Thomas captured Nason's fly, falling into the crowd. Lundy scored all the way from second base. Reed then dou

CIVILIZATION
PLENTY OF RING
TALENT AT SMOKER
The Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere put over a wonderful program of bouts and novelty entertainment at their joint Benefic Smoker last Saturday night at the 15th Regiment Armory.
A packed house was on hand, despite the inclement weather, and those who braved the rain storm were treated to an evening full of fun and a pathogue awapling contest worth many times the price of admission.
Such well-known ring celebrities as Panama Joe Gans, who boxed Kid Norfolk; Willie Walker and Jack Taylor, Kid Rash and Danny Bailey, Benny Ponteau and Dan Stuart, Wilbur Cohen and Kid Rocco, Kid Builer and Tommy Jackson. All bouts went three rounds and contestants put plenty of pop in their efforts. The bouts were only supposed to be exhibitions, but the boys went after each other as though large purses were at stake. Andrew Copeland, Panama Dixie Red, and Viola McCoy, Columbia and Gennett, record star donated their services and rendered popular pieces much to the delight of the appreciative audience. A battle royal between five boxes was a scream. They walloped one another, when a blow was least expected, and had the house in an uproar from start to finish. Many times the entire five would be fighting in a bunch, each trying to put over a blow that would eliminate one of the opponents.
The Pyhian Band furnished music between the bouts and kept things lively throughout the evening. Matchmaker for the evening war Jack Coleman; referee. Serg. Dennis; announcer. Serg. Scott; timekeeper. Lleut. Roy Morse. Cigars, cigarettes and pipes were given away free to each person attending, and when the program was over the big crowd slowly filed its way out in a happy state of mind and singing praise of the

Powerful Dramatic Offering At Lafayette
Stirring Drama With Evelyn Ellis and Hayes Pryor Here Next Week
Widely Known and Popular Cast to Appear at the Lafayette Theatre in "The Unloved Wife," By Florence Edna May.
A girl likes men who can do things, men with big ideals. She is willing to take a back seat and back in the reflected glory of the man she loves if she knows she can depend upon him. But how many wives can depend upon their husbands?
came to Chicago on this project, and while there he was struck by the amount of raw talent displayed by the Negroes in their cafes and cabarets that was running to waste, the positive genius for the
'in writing "The Unloved Wife" for the stage, Florence Edna May, the authors, wanted to point out the position many women occupy in their married state, and in the production which comes to the Lafayette Theater one week commencing Monday matinee. May 7, with matinee daily for ladies only, important questions dear to every woman's heart, are found in this remarkable dramatic sensation. What is a wife? She is the incarnation of what, after all, is the most interesting type in all the world—a perfect representation of womanhood. All the strong feeling, affection, fear, tenderness, apprehension, gloating, pride and joy stream from her face in an overwhelming tide.
The play is founded on the vital subject of "Disappointed Marriage," truly as important subject and subject not to be lightly dealt with. Miles May, the outforsome, worked faithfully at the problem for years, until at last she succeeded in completing a play that New York managers were eager for. In the production of "The Unloved Wife" you are going to witness just the sort of play you have been waiting for, and something you have not seen on stage or screen. It is a great, big, symphonic, colorful drama containing brilliant comedy and sensational situations, and will be depicted by an adequate colored cast. There will be daily matinees for ladies only, while the evening performances are for everybody over sixteen years of age. The cast includes Evelyn HIll, H. T. Pryor, R-Th Carr, Bessie Ellis, Margaret Hubbard Brown, Monte Hawley, Keill Gordon and others.
"TAKE IT EASY"
Had she offering this week at the Lafayette Theater lived up to its title on the opening night, that audience that found so much to enjoy would have been disappointed for, instead of "taking it easy," they are putting on something full of pop and ginger with a breezy chorus of good lookers that had them rocking.
Miss Tommy Allen as the comedienne of the piece lives up in every way to the things said of her and well might we say that she is the proverbial scream and found favor from the time she breezed on to when the curtain went down on a show that is bound to please.
A matinee is being offered daily and those unable to make the night shows would do well to take advantage of the opportunity to spend a pleasant afternoon at the Lafayette. Things are picking up at this house and the next' few weeks will find the house bringing out all the old and new patrons.
Oscar Wilde's "Salome" and Other Plays to Be Presented at the Frazee Theatre
The Ethiopian Art Theater, a company of colored players, will open a repertory season at the Prasse Theater on Monday evening, May 7, with Oscar Wilde's 'Salome' and a one-act play of Negro life, "The Chip-Woman's Fortune," written by Willis Richardson, a negro. The company comes from Chicago with their founder and director, Raymond O'Nell, was seen at a theater in the Negro quarter there by H. H. Prasse, the Broadway manager, who was rosed to such an interest by the sight of these players that he invited them to come to New York. Their repertory, besides the two opening plays, consists of Moldore's "The Follies: Scapina," "George" and "Modern expressionist" from the German Bueschner, and two Shakespeare plays. "The Comedy of Errors" and "The Taming of the Shrew."
Rumors of the remarkable quality of those players, their unique spontaneity, their beauty of voice and their emotional power, have reached New York all through the season. This is heightened by the story that O'Nell was invited to Chicago to found a white art theatre and abandoned the project to found an art theatre among colored people. O'Nell comes from Cleveland and has long been a student of the theatre. Some years ago he went abroad to study the continental theatre, worked with Copenhagen and Rheinheart, and returned with the details notion of putting his ideas into practice in the continental movement here.

came to Chicago on this project, and while there he was struck by the amount of raw talent displayed by the Negroes in their cafes and cabarets that was running to waste, the positive genius for the theatre that is unused except in musical revue or in desultory singing and dancing, and became absorbed in the idea of finding an outlet for this rich emotional force in a legitimate theatre. He was financially assisted in the founding of the theatre by both white and colored people who felt that the theatre in this country has much to gain from the Negro and by some who were interested for sociological rather than artistic reasons.
It is O'Neill's idea that a Negro theatre should look forward to the creation of a folk drama, but since no genuine Negro drama exists as yet, he feels it had better subsist on the classics than on the synthetic Negro drama written by white people about colored folk. The great plays of the world have a broad and simple appeal, anyway, he says, and belong to everyone. Any play not based on an exclusively white psychoiology can be done without incongruity by Negroes, he says, and the classics are based on a universal psychology. Nevertheless, they will be invested with a native idiom, just as inevitably happens to Shakespeare when played by Germans, Russians or Scandinavians—and this is a gain to the plays rather than a loss. The Negro idiom added to the classics promises for pliant variations, for "Everyman" is announced to take place "in a cabaret," and "The Comedy

Those who have seen the company in Chicago say that the improvisations on Mollere's lines and business in "The Follies of Scapln" are peculiarly rich and racy, and that in "Salome" Wilde's lines have never been uttered with greater abandonment to their sensual beauty.
the company numbers twenty-five. O'Well gathered it by ranging far and wide through Chicago. He frequented colored cafes and restaurants, sat long in cabarets and places of entertainment and explored widely before deciding on the company. The greater part of the company are professionals—either regularly or in an itinerant way. Work in the theatre for Negroes being scarcity, some have alternated their work on the stage with other, occupations. This is a post office employee, another is a Pullman porter; two of them have lived abroad for fourteen years, speak French and German fluently, and are familiar with the Continental theatre and literature. On its way from Chicago, the company has played in Washington, where the players have around great enthusiasm.
The tour is under the direction of the Syndicate Attractions Circuit, Inc.

Roles.
Given a great story in Sir Hall Calne's "The Christian." Maurice Tourneur selected a great cast to make it into a most unusual and impressively dramatic motion picture for Goldwyn. The screen version of "The Christian" comes to the Lincoln Theater for 21 days, beginning today.
Richard Dix, who has been playing leads in Goldwyn pictures for the past two years was given the title role as John Storm because it was fait that his was exactly the right type, and that he possessed the necessary talent and experience to "get across" the peculiar psychology of "The Christian." It is history now that Dix rose to new heights in the part; and it also is history that one of the hardest things he had to do was to reduce twenty-five pounds in the first instance, and keep reduced by that amount for several months.
Mae Busch, who plays Glory Quayie, the feminine lead, was selected because it was felt that among all the leading players considered she possessed in the most marked degree the vivacity and emotional power required. Miss Busch's work in the picture is a revelation, particularly as it is no different from any of the previous colors which have made her reputation.
Claude Gillingwater, who plays Lord Storm, has recently gone into motion pictures from the stage where his career was too long and successful to need comment. Ill health of his young son caused him to remove to California and once there, casting directors were only too eager to obtain his disguised services. He began with Mary Pickford in "Little Lord Pauperley," and has had the lead in Goldwyn's "Remembrance," and important roles in "The Dust Flower," and the Marshall Nolan production, "The Strangers' Banquet." It to be released.
Mahlen Hamilton, who plays Marilyn Drake, has had a long career on stage and screen, acting leading roles. One of his most successful hits was in a past Goldwyn picture, "Earthbound."
New Policy at Roosevelt Theatre Inaugurated
First Class Orchestra Secured to Play for First Release Pictures at This House
Recognizing that the community are growing by leaps and bounds, the management of the Roosevelt Theatre, situated on the corner of 145th street and Seventh avenue, decided to inaugurate a new policy at this theatre to meet the growing demand for the most high-class pictures by the people.
Those in authority at the theatre have at last realised that coloured people are the same in their demands where this form of entertainment is concerned, and the fact that the Roosevelt occupies a strategic position, located as it is at one of the corners that will in a short time be as busy as 125th and 125th streets, had much to do in inducing the management to make the move that will mean so

The scum from the benighted part of America will make their presence felt in spite of everything. The wife of this writer returned to this country Sunday, April 2nd, on the British steamer Qulana and His Britannia Majesty's Governor of the Leeward Islands on a trip to America went out of his way to show her courtesies that would have caused an upheaval they unfortunate enough to be carrying crackers among the passengers on the ship.
Mr. Leo Broucher and his associates have vast interests in the community, these people operating the Odeon, Douglas, Roosevelt and Apollo Theatres in Harlem. That they are blessed with the experience and ability to run these theatres successfully, there can be no doubt, and we at times wonder that they even now adhere to certain forms of advertising that carry no appeal to that intelligent clientele who would be glad to support their houses.
These parvenues are trying their best to interfere with the colored people on business bent to the other side and some day the story is going to be told of how a number of colored men decided that if they could offer up their lives in France for a democracy which they do not enjoy they could take the bull in their own hands and offer up their lives while carrying some of the bums to the Great Unknown with them for the enjoyment of ordinary rights accorded to every man but cure.
The new day being unhered in should bode good for all hands, and even though these columns have not for some time been graced with what they have to offer the public, we take pleasure in announcing something that will meet with the approval of those seeking a high-class entertainment evenings at a well-appointed theatre.
Southermere are so busy trying to keep us down they are missing the real things in life. What contributions are made to the world of art and letters coming out of the Southern part of the United States? Only what the Nogress themselves produce. Strange, this thing they call superiority. If it is true that those write brothers and aliens are so far superior we cannot understand why they are forced to go to the trouble of trying to prove it. Superiority is something that will easily prove itself and it naturally raises a doubt in the minds of the intelligent that the hookworms of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and the other God foraken places are civilized.
Bit of Old Japan Seen in Picture
Even selved performers want to the front when the Germans were giving all hands the time of their lives and from reports coming in we have not heard where the snooken wore around the black boys to 'face the Nun or objecting to their presence when things get warm. Yet they wonder why so many blacks asked God Almighty to strike them dead before forced to shoot at a bunch of Germans who had never done any harm to them.
Beautiful Scenes in William de Mille's "Nice People"
A colorful portion of old Japan forms the background for an important series of scenes in William de Mille's most recent Paramount Picture. "Nice People," which comes to the Franklin Theatre for two days, starting to day.
In the meantime, we ask you to make the trip to the Apalie and witness "How Come?" A laugh a minuta predominate and they have got the show down to a place where you will enjoy it over and over again. If you miss it you are missing something that will give you a rare evening's entertainment. The antics of Eddie Hunter and George Cooper are alone worth the trip to 42nd street, to any nothing of Billie Higgins, Aman Davis and whisper it, Lord, the one and only Alberta Hunter in reined blues.
The scene is an ultra-modern
cate done in Japanese style. Beauti-
ful Gelabra girls serve as check-
room attendants and cigarette
girls; Japanese youths in the
costumes of their ancestors fill the
attendant positions. Everything
except the food, the guests and the
music, is Japanese. The first is
American, the second are cosmopolitan, and the third is Hawaiian.
You also can enjoy looking at the most charming chorus and witnessing dancing which forces us to rise and defl our hats to Frank Montgomery.

We would advise our good friends of the opposite race in the third business have dealings with colored shirts and newspapers to capitalize the N in Negro when sending out press matter. Being human beings we hate this continuous thing of being designated like cats and dogs. Bring us the cap N, gentlemen, and you'll find us more enthusiastic.
The setting is one of the most elaborate and lavish ever constructed for the screen. It consists of a spacious entrance hall leading into a large Japanese garden illuminated by Oriental lights and lanterns, dotted with tables and boasting of numerous interesting pieces of Oriental sculpturing, repetition and paradox.

The full structure filled nearly half of the new glass-roofed studio, recently completed at the Lasky studio. This stage is the largest of its kind in the motion-picture industry. Approximately two hundred persons were employed in the filming of this series of scenes.
It was our intention to reproduce some of the matter covering a period in the travels of Eddie Hunter to Broadway this week, but we have something even better as Hunter moved by the spirit of the times and recognizing that a new day has been unheered in, we hope to reproduce something entirely out of the ordinary from the pen of Broadway's most popular comedian.

That increasing interest is being taken in the Negro and his literature throughout the nation is the addition of Miss Eraseline Rose, Librarian of the 135th street branch of the public library, in her report to the conference of the American Library Association at Hot Spring, Ark. "On Work Among Negroes." Miss Rose in her paper, "Progress for the Year," says that requests for lists of books by and about Negroes have come to her attention in increasing numbers.
Miss Rose in the same paper declares herself as being opposed to the purely Negro library. "It is by the contact of individual with individual, the acquaintance of one person with another," she says, "that all prejudice, personal or racial, breaks down. I should accept branch libraries for the colored, Negro schools, and specialized Negro institutions, only in case they do not limit within their own narrow walks the opportunity of the colored worker or the colored student to reach out into the whole wide field of human work and human knowledge." Only when such wells of limitation are broken down, where full responsibilities, enactions and opportunities belong to the Negro, will he be able to prove his real capacity for development.
Speaking of the improved attitude towards Negroes in the library field, Miss Rose continues in the same paper: "Perhaps that incident in New York which seems to me most significant is the acceptance by our library school of a colored applicant on precisely the same terms as the white, and the following fact that all facilities offered by the school have been at her command. Before the practice trip to, other libraries was taken, all hotels on the route were asked if they had any objection to admitting a colored woman, and, without exception, they answered they had none."
ARMED MEN BLOCK SEARCH FOR GRAVE
CLARA, Fla., May 2.—A display of firearms greeted the members of the Joint Legislative Committee here today on their arrival with Arthur Johnson, former convict, to exhaust the body of Martin Talbert, of Munich, N. D., who died of injuries at the hands of a "wipping boa" in one of the infamous private convict camps of the harborsome State of Florida. The firearms were strapped to the hips of several shirt-sleeved men, against whom charges of intimidation will be made, it was announced by Representative J. Clay Smith and J. S. Kennerly, members of the committee. Johnson, who testified at the Legislative Committee's hearing that Talbert's body was buried in a spot three miles away from where his grave now stands, appealed to have the center of interest. Representative Kennerly addressing the crowd, said:

SET WORLD'S STANDING
Africa Offers Fine Flight or
Service For Trained
American Negroes.
ATLANTA, Ga., May 20, 2013]—That the Negro in Alabama is in every way a hundred percent ahead of the natives of North America, is the statement of Mr. Henderson, a noted educator from that country, who is spending a few months in Amarion in the study of race relations and Negro education. This is due, he said, to the fact that the American Negro came much earlier into contact with Christian civilization and has held for greater opportunities for education and self-development. He was particularly impressed with the economic progress which the race has made in this country, which he said was far beyond anything he had experienced.
Dr. Henderson has given his life to the education of the students of British South Africa, having been for many years principal of Rovendale Institute, the great African Tuskies, a missionary institution with a faculty of 60 and a student body of 900. While in Atlanta he visited a number of Magna colleges and was greatly pleased with them, commending most favourably on their fine equipment, competence and devoted teachers and intelligent students.
A number of well-trained American Negroes, he said, are rendering fine service in Africa as teachers and social workers. Whenever they have been tried they have made good, was his emphatic testimony. He believes that the number of Negroes will greatly increase and that in this way they educated American Negroes in destined to make a great contribution to Africa's development.
The good will work of the interracial Commission, of which he had heard in Africa, where its methods are beginning to be adopted, interested Dr. Henderson briefly. The problems of race relations, he said, are much more difficult than here, and much farther from solution. It was his opinion that the progress of the American Negro is setting a new standard for the world in the development of backward society.

Musical Activities
This past season of 1923-23
among musical circles has been
one of the best since music has
become a part of our daily life.
The coming season of 1923-24 has
widespread prospects of outstanding
splitting over, witnessed before in
the time of purely Negro musical
advertising.
Our people have not been blind
to this development. Therefore,
let all those who have talent and
those who have been gifted with
the art of composing, become active
and see what you can do to
help this movement. It means
developing the race, and the results
will be wonderfully beneficial.

programs that are presented,

The National Urban League has issued a statement following the recent visit to Urban League centers by L. Hollingworth Woo, president of the National Urban League, and Eugene Kinsele Jones, executive director of the National Urban League, that the local leagues are being called upon for strenuous action because of the increased demand for Negro workers and the large migration of colored people to northern centers.
In the Pittsburgh district it housing facilities were available, ten thousand workers would be needed to be able to prove true of Newark, Philadelphia, Baldwin, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Tulsa, and certain New England points.
The league is organizing in local communities for receiving, placing and housing migrants: A special National Industrial Bureau will soon be organized, and new Duluth and many cities which will receive an appreciable influx of the Negro population.
In preparation for the increased social work that is contemplated for the cities in which leagues are located, plans are on foot for the local colleges and universities applications for annual fellowships should be addressed to the leagues' headquarters, 127 East 23rd street, New York City. College graduates, teachers and public workers generally are invited to apply. The committee will be held the latter part of this month.

WASHINGTON, D. 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 handing 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.

"HEALTH WEEK"—How Goes You

Agencies has designated the week of May
Health Week. During this same time New
Health and Street Cleaning Departments are
clean up house, yard and cellar. Health Week is re-
time in Health conservation. Can you afford to
without pondering and reflecting of these things w
a strong and efficient member of your family, and
in the citizenship of your city?
"HEALTH WEEK"—How Goes Your Health?
Disease develops slowly and incidentally. Health Week is the time for you to ask yourself the question. "How good are you health?" if you are just to yourself you will want to know. Are your lungs normal in the heart showing signs
course. The Pennsylvania legislature has had another one poked in this session and it is now being fought. White people, by nature, object to associate with inferior races. The Negro has never been able to lift his tribesmen out of the woods. They are there yet and will remain, unless the white people bring them forth for mental purposes. Environment changes their clothing and their mode of living, but environment has never made a Negro anything but a Negro and never will, so history teaches. Why then, should a superior race be forced by statute to humble itself to a nausea and to an unequal association with a people who really prefer to live in their own communities with themselves?
"This so-called 'Equal Rights' bill ought to be killed. It will be killed. It rests, ultimately, on the same basis as the Chinese and Japanese exclusion acts; only it gets closer to the white man."
TWO INSTANCES within the last week have brought this matter of race discrimination into sharp relief: A young colored girl, Miss Augusta Savage, after hardships such as no white student is ever called upon to endure, becomes eligible for a course in a leading French academy of art but is barred by a committee composed of seven of America's most distinguished artists because her color was objectionable to the Southern students. The second case is the Jim-crowning of the thirty-four colored artists, composing the Plantation Review, on the Albany after a protest by the Southerners.

The second race is the Jim-crowning of the thirty-four colored artists, composing the Plantation Review, on the banks, after a protest by the Southerners.
"COL." HOBBS says: "White people, by nature, affect to associate with inferior races." Granting that there is such a thing as on inferior race, there ever was more false statement than the above. The white man has penetrated into every region coupled by these so-called inferior races, and everywhere he has left a mixed progeny. On the other hand, all of these races have shunned the white man when he first came among to force his presence on them. If "Col." Hobbs runs true to him he will probably be quick to boast how he was lured and suckled by a black howw. Was that association or wasn't it? In February of this year another "Colonel." A. D. Watts, political czar of North Carolina who had been touring the State sitting against "social equality" was taken nude in face of, this fact what delicious humor it is for "Colonel" to ask, "Why, then, should a superior be forced by statute to humble itself to a nausea" by association with Negroes.
"COL." HOBBS and others of his ilk remind us very strongly of the elephant, who, it is said, is in mortal dread of the rat. The mere presence of a single rodent, according to animal trainers is sufficient to stampede a dozen elephants.
THE WHITE RACE in America towers in elephant bulk over the Negro mouse. It controls almost entire wealth of the nation, the army, the police force, and the whole machinery of the city, yet a very large proportion of the whites shiver with mortal dread when a single Negro in a class of whites, distinguishes himself or herself. And the orange part of it is that this type keeps right on competing in the same breath about the superiority of the white race.

When's a Lady Not a Lady?
(Daily News).
At 10 o'clock in the morning the usual crowd was hurrying along Broadway when, about midway between Murray Street and Park Place, the question ticked this editorial was raised.
A young woman, well dressed, without pansing in or brisk walk, leaned forward and spat—carelessly, absentfully and vulgarly—upon the sidewalk. The delivery shot nearly grasped a masculine costall and set missed another masculine shoe.
When is a lady not a lady? One answer is obvious—when she splits upon the sidewalk.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the usual crowd was hurrying along Broadway when, about midway between Murray Street and Park Place, the question which tops this editorial was raised.
A young woman, well dressed, without pausing in her shoes, leaned forward and spat—carelessly, unbeautifully, unbeautifully, unbeautifully, salivary shot nearly grasped a masculine coatall and just missed another masculine shoe.

A Colored Line For Artists
(New York World).
In drawing the color line against Augusta Savage, the young Negro art student who applied for entrance to the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in France, the American committee first lacked frankness, then, when corroded, offered an indefensible commission. The committee had fully considered the case, finally decided, for social, meaning racial, reasons, Miss Savage had been barred.
In drawing the color line against Anguita Savage, the young Negro art student who applied for entrance to the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in France, the American committee first lacked frankness, then, when cornered, offered an indefensible excuse. As Chairman, Ernest Petrotto said that the committee had fully considered the case and finally settled, for social, meaning racial, reason, Miss Savage had been barred.
If there is one country in Europe where race discrimination is not encouraged, it is in France. There full freedom exists and is generally recognized, and the schools that the Government maintains are open to persons of every race and color, provided they have the talent to him them to gain qualified teachers. What the American committee has done, in obedience to a false theory of the proprieties or whatever might call them, is to impose on the French Art school at Fontainebleau restrictions that the school itself would be the first to disavow.

giving to undermine my health?
Many diseases are due to faulty habit, chronic infection and chronic poison. In the majority of instances their causes can be traced by a careful examination. Let Health Week be the time to love your doctor or health advisor look over and see "if all is well."
Many a disease, if found early can be absolutely cured by proper medical supervision, hygienic regulation, and personal care.
No man or woman who desires to make the most out of life, privilege, a cheerful, hospitable attitude, and justice it by keeping in good working trim, well beyond the work span of the ordinary individual, can afford to neglect this simple protective measure of a thorough periodic overhauling of the life and body. This problem of life comfortably and necessarily requires a thorough and resolution of this wonderful body of ours. To you, Health Week should mean much.

John Watson, an aspiring Negro led from a Southern village wine a scholarship at a Northern university. Hero he encounters Philip Breakenridge, son of a rich man from the same place. Philip is hostile to John's being at the university. John, being very poor, sources work with Prof. Bruce, and one night while in the Bruce home he overhears a mysterious conversation between Mrs. Bruce and a stranger.

CHAPTER X
PALE with suppressed emotion, Mrs. Bruce began in a strained voice:
"A few minutes past you heard me talking with a man you did not see, and I know you are having some strange thoughts—you are probably thinking that I—I am unfaithful to my husband. It isn't so, and when you hear my story you'll see that I am telling the truth." She paused, breathing heavily, then commenced again: "My mother—"
A scratching at the door. A sound as if a key was being inserted. The two started. "There's Wellington now," cried Mrs. Bruce, excitedly. She rose and with apparent composure went into the dining room. John buried himself in his book. Nothing more was said about the mysterious affair that evening.
The next evening John waited expectantly to hear, but Mrs. Bruce made no move toward telling him, although they were alone in the house. John, though, mystified, was silent, deciding that it was Mrs. Bruce who ought to take the initiative.
Would Lucille Page be there, was his first thought. He had been eager to ask about her but some thing within him made him hesitate.
The following day he received a letter from his mother, assuring
She never brought up the matter again, and John noticed that a few days later she became much more cheerful, laughing and talking with vivacity as if a great burden had been taken from her mind. All of this puzzled him very much. How in the days to come he cursed the fate that interrupted the telling of the story. He decided later that the owner of the strange video must have been hiding in a closet when he entered. How else could he have disappeared so noiselessly? Wasn't that why Mrs. Bruce had refused his aid in coming downstairs, he asked himself.
The next Sunday John went to the little meeting place that served as the colored church, but the girl, whose name he had been told was Lucy Page, was not present at either the morning or evening service.
A few evenings later he returned to the beauty parlor. After lingering outside for a few minutes studying the pots of face cream and powder in the window, meanwhile, he saw a figure emerge from one of the little white canvas booths to disappear quickly into another one of them. His heart beat violently as he gazed at the girl who at first sight had so irresistibly fascinated him. In her spotless white uniform and cap, and dainty shoes, she looked even more appealing. With all the order of early youth he felt that here, at last, was the one girl in the world for him—his dream girl in very flesh and blood.
The next thing he decided was to gain an introduction. But how? Rack his brains as he would, he could find no excuse for entering A beauty parlor of all places on earth. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He would go in and buy a jar of face cream, then start a conversation! But he remembered that his sole wealth was twenty-nine cents. He surely cost more than the rest. The only course, he decided, was to wait until he had received his five dollars weekly wage from the Bruce on Monday.
"Well," he said, consolingly, somewhat relieved also at the prospect of no immediate encounter. "I've located her, anyway."
Two evening later he was again sweeping the sidewalk when he heard footsteps behind him, and stepped aside quickly to let the person pass. One glance and he saw that it was the women who had been with him, "Here's your opportunity," said a voice imperatively within him. Speaking up quickly he said:
" didn't hit you this time, did
1? Good evening."
"Good evening," replied the woman pleasantly, "Are you a stranger in Nortonville?"
"Yes, very much of a stranger, I'm just lovecme for some colored folks."
"Well, you must certainly come around and let me help you meet some. I'm Mrs. Montgomery and I live at 90 Hill avenue."
"I'll be sure to come. My name is John Walton."
"John Walton?" she explained.
"You're at the university, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Are you the John Walton that won the Arnold Scholarship?"
"Yes."
"We have all been talking about you. Why, where have you been keeping yourself?"
"I've been very busy. When you both passed last week, I felt like speaking to you but I noticed that up North one doesn't exchange greetings without an introduction."
"How, don't forget the address," she warned as she said good bye. "Let me know when you're coming and I'll have some friends to meet you."

Would Lucille Page be there, was his first thought. He had been eager to ask about her but something within him made him hesitate.
The following day he received a letter from his mother, assuring him that she had had no trouble with their neighbors, and thanked him profusely for the seventy-five dollars he had sent. This sum was the first instalment of the scholarship fund.

When John Walton arrived in Mrs. Montgomery's cosy home through a raging storm the following Saturday night there were many present to greet him. He looked expectantly around for Lucille but did not see her. Later, while he was talking with a guest he heard Mrs. Montgomery say:
"Mr. Walton, I'd like you to meet Miss Page." He turned quickly around. Confronted at last with the girl he had been so eagerly planning to meet, he felt overcome by a wave of bashfulness. The dainty vision in the striped blak waist and smart serge shirt seemed to paralyse him. But quickly recovering he uttered the formal: "I'm gled to meet you, Miss Page."
How different both in tone and wording was what he had been planning to say! She seemed perfectly at ease, however, and this soon put him at ease, too. From talking about the snowstorm they went to discuss a variety of topics, the town, the university, the South, education. He was delighted to see that she was intelligent and well-informed. A bond of sympathy seemed to have been established between them from the first words that had been uttered. Her most commonplace words seemed to him divina. They laughed and chatted gaily and danced. Later when he offered to take her house and she accepted him he fell as if there was nothing else on that he would care to wish for.
Thereafter they met every Saturday evening and Sunday. "You must not neglect your studies," she had warned.
She declared her greatest delight was sleigh-riding, and on Lincoln's birthday the ground was well covered with snow, he hired a sleigh and called for her. To the merry jingle of the bells and the smooth gliding movement of the sleigh, the well-muffled pair stuck out over the main road. Urging the spiritified horse to fall speed, they sped on and on, the wind whistling in their ears, and frosty air making their blood thighs. "There is no other pleasure in the world like sleigh-riding," she said ecstatically after they had covered several miles, "nothing else in the world gives you such a thrill." She burst into a joyous sleigh-riding song.
The song, the novelty of the ride, and swift movement over the road filled John with a strange sense of exhilaration. He felt as if some other field for more writing than blood was coursing through his veins. How good it seemed to be alive!
When the song was finished John and gladly, "Heirridding is wonderful. It is thrilling, but I know something that is initially more thrilling than anything else on earth." He healted for one brief instant then added:
"And that's just to be near you, here or anywhere."
"Now, now, Mr. Flatterer," she warned gaily.
"Guillele, he continued, "I have thought you were like's greatest thriller from the instant I first saw you. That evening on the sidewalk when I spring around and found myself going into your eyes I was so thrilled, oh so thrilled. I felt as if some strange current of electricity had suddenly longed from your being to make. It has been coursing through me ever since." He went on to tell of his schemes to secure an introduction to her.

mess of the confusion, and the deep sincerity of his voice she replied:
"I, too, experienced the same feeling the moment I saw you. To sit beside you is better than to listen to the most wonderful music."
"And yet you never turned back to look at me, though I gaced so hard, hoping that you would" he said in mock relegation.
"I was just dying to do so, dearest," she replied, "but I felt that you were looking at me, and I simply couldn't." Dropping the reme, John turned to clasp her. She flowed meekly. Their presence in me seemed inexplicable. "I am so happy," she murmured. "This is sadness," said John.
When he returned to his little room that night he felt as if he had been invested with some indefinable power. He had an incentive to work for now. There was the Stanton prize contest coming soon at the university. He meant to win that. There was a gold medal and $1,500 in cash attached to it, but what mattered that. He intended to win it for the glory of the thing.
That same night he wrote tailing his mother of his wonderful new adventure. Lucille, he painted in the most glowing language. Happy weeks followed. Winter fed. Spring came, the young lovers rejoicing in the re-birth of Nature. Then came tragedy.
One evening in early May John went to the beauty parlor to wait for Lucille to appear. A two-seated car passed him. The sole occupant John saw, was Gregory Leigh, an intimate friend of Philip Breckenridge and also from the South. The car drew up in front of the beauty parlor and he saw Leigh get out and enter the establishment. A few minutes later, thunderstruck, he saw Leigh emerge accompanied by Lucille. Petrified with amusement John saw Leigh help Lucille into the closed car. Jump in and drive off. She beaming with smiles. It could to him as if all power to feel had suddenly been withdrawn from his body. He staggered and would have fallen but for a wall. All that he had ever heard about the faithlessness of women surged into his mind. Dazed, grumbed, indulished, he staggered home. "I hate her!" he said aloud savagely. He ground his teeth:
"Good God, must a black man forever have to put up with this sort of thing." Passers-by gazed at him strangely.
Becklesly he plunged across the main street. Presently he heard a shoep rh-r, and heard a loud oath. Glancing up he saw the angry face of a driver who had stopped his automobile but a few inches from him. Another second and he would have run over him. "I wish to God it had killed me," he murmured, as he shagged on. One thing he decided savagely, he would never speak to her again. "What may he use for women?" He writhed as he recalled her free manner with Leigh. It was the same grueling, happy way in which he had always greeted him. "God only knows how long this sort of thing has been going on," he said bitterly.
Back in his little basement room he flung himself on his bed. Racked with mental torture, he saw the photograph of his mother on the table. How much care she seemed to him now in this hour of misfortune. Here was one woman who would be true to him, always, always. He gaced at the dear features long and earnest, suddenly started as if stung. His eyes flashed and the picture fell to the floor:
"Good God," he cried in anger. "Who to. Is in the blood? God help me God to be." The following day he went about his tasks in a dreary mechanic manner. "If I could only forget!" he moaned.
CHAPTER XII
Phillip Brockerridge was seated in the costly furnished room of his absent apartment. Scented on the table beneath the beneath of the expensive lamp were books lying open and much manuscript. I parently in deep meditation he held an open letter in his hand which dropped over the chair, "I must make it!" he said aloud, "I simply must. I can't let that algrer best me."
A knock. Philip arose and opened the door. A student with a freshman's cap entered. "What! You aren't ready!" gaped the newcomer. "Why we are late now."
"Don't go tonight Gates. I must get down to my mathematics. Awfully sorry, old man, but I'll have to meet the james another time."
"Can't go? You're joking, Phil. After all the trouble I've gone to make the dates. The girls will be awful sure."
"Can't help it just the same. Get another fellow."
"I'm make me sick with your eternal stomping," swore Gonzo Leigh. "You must come."
"I can't. I tell you. I can't afford to let that bigger beat me again. I've got to win the Stanley prize."

The greatest propagandist of our day is Upton Sinclair of the United States—large and Pandame in particular. Sometimes he writes briefs in behalf of the workingman; sometimes he tweaks the name of the capitalist class and exposes the corruption of the press; at other times he shudders of Mount Sinai against the shilah and swashbuckling journalist, and everything that he writes is journalism.
In "They Call Me Carpenter," he pictures what a world of Christian man is found enough, but some of his specific applications won't hold water. And yet those are very few when compared with the multitude of happy people and the rich of the earth.
Some of the inside stories that he tells are horribly significant of what millions of us have long suspected. Anyone who wants to know why it is that so many college graduates in "America are so lamentably ignorant of history, science and literature, of the existing realities, by which real men and women live in this real world, will find the answer in "The Goose Stop," where Sinclair shows that in most of the larger colleges and some of the smaller ones students are not allowed to learn nor professors to teach anything except what the lawyers, bankers and business men on their boards of trustees think safe and sweet for them.
I sincerely hope that "The Good Step" may be read by the leaders of our people to the end that they may learn something of the "drift and mastery" in the world of education. But even more strongly do I hope that thousands of the people that they may learn the direction in which they are being led and the reason for it.

"The money doesn't count with me. I'd give ten thousand if necessary. It's the prestige which counts nothing for the nickers."
"That's right. If he wises it won't count. He'll be a bigger just the same. It's the money that matters with him."
"The question is, how we are going to put the proposition up to him." quired Philip.
"Leave that to me."
"Will you?"
"Yes, on one condition—that you come with me."
"Good. I will telephone the girls, and tell 'em we're on our way, and to show you that I mean business, we'll drop in at the nigger's as we go. He's there new. You can wait outside. We won't have any trouble. I promise you."
Outside in the car they sped along the levy avenue. Precisely Philip said:
"Who, is that nigger girl I saw you with last Thursday about six."
"Oh, that's Lucille Page from Madame Jean's beauty patier. She's some beauty, Th say, Um-mm."
"Hasn't she a friend?" asked Philip eagerly.
"A friend? Why, I tried the the hardest way to make a date with her but she was just impossible. She turned me down cold."
"Turned you down cold?" said Philip doubtfully. "That's funny. What was she doing in your car then?"

"Only half a point, and I'm give points ahead of Abercrombie, who came next."
"Begin from a start."
In "They Call, Me Carpenter," he pictures what a world of Christian Pharisees would do to Jesus if he ventured back into it and acted in keeping with the gospel story by associating with common working people and the risk of the earth. Naturally, the Carpenter is hunted by the American Legion, rejected by the Church, and despised by the rich and respectable, until, in sheer desperate, he turns to the law of being a silent symbol in the stained glass window of a rich man's church, where Christ is loved so long as he remains in the Bible of the gorgeous decorations of Christless creed.
It is a sad story; its obvious propaganda murders its art hideously, it glitters cheaply with rhetorical theral; it包扎s a punch like the left hind leg of a Georgia male! And, after all, Sinclair wrote it for the sake of the punch. And while criticism may cavil or condemn, it can't criticism that makes literature, but literature that gives laws to criticism. The story will grip you as long you are interested in either "The Goose Step" remarks the extent to which our famous colleges like Harvard, Columbia and Yale are controlled by the millionaire masters of everything else.

"It's a d—d shame," said Gaston savagely. "A white man having to compete with a bigger. This could never have happened in the South."
"The other shrugged his shoulders. "We aren't in the South," he said drilly.
"These ought to be some way out—some way of eliminating the tiger."
"I don't see any," said Philip. He added wittelyly: "Would you have me know him on the hand."
