"Norman," she replied, "I want no more trouble with you." Roberts thereupon made a dive for his boy podcast. Mrs. Roberts caught his hand instantly and held it down, but not before he had drawn the 40 automatic. He began shooting at her legs. His hand once on the trigger, he kept it there. As the first shots took effect in the lower part of her body, she sank hands and lower until a ballet finally pierced her heart. Then the full Malus on the trump.

Police Commissioner Enright has issued an order requiring the police to close all places in New York City where liquor is sold in violation of the Volstead act and the Eighteenth Amendment before Nov. 1. He warned Inspectors and Captains that they would be held personally responsible and brought to trial for failure to carry out the order. If this order is carried out in Harlem it will mean that within the next few weeks hundreds of bootlegging drug, delicatessen and cigar stores will be forced to go out of business, as such places are now realizing thousands of dollars from the illegal sale of alcoholic liquors. The Police Commissioner at the same time issued a questionnaire requiring the members of the police force to furnish immediately to him and to Chief Inspector William J. Lahaye the names and addresses of owners and lessees and descriptions of habitues of places where liquor is sold in violation of the prohibition law. The Commissioner wants to know especially whether gambling goes on at places where liquor is sold. The Police Department, under the administration of Commissioner Buright, recently was credited by Mayor Hyllan with having closed 10,000 saloons and to have practically stopped gambling in New York City. The Mayor described the work of the police in answering criticism by prohibition officials. The new order was issued to 18 Inspectors and 90 Captains. The blank questionnaires went to every member of the Force, and there are nearly 12,000. The questionnaires were passed along by the Captains to the Sergeants, and finally distributed among Patrolmen. The Amsterdam News has knowledge of the existence of hundreds of these places in Fifth, Lenox, Seventh and Eighth avenues, and the side streets of Harlem, who will not be able to exist if the order of the Commissioner is carried out in this district.

Speaking of his great pleasure at seeing the comrades under his former command once again the general said: "When a moment ago I heard the great artist, Noble Simile, ring 'Joan of Arre,' it reminded me of the time when we celebrated Independence Day.

Alexander King, 235 West 134th street, superintendent at the College Post Office Station, appeared in the Washington Heights on Monday and asked Magistrate Barrett for protection against the too ardent attactions of Violetta Ramey, of 100 Edgecombe avenue. King presented a large sheaf of letters, which she had written him, and said that since Feb. 1 she had been in the habit of waiting outside the station and annoying him. He said that she had not only written him, but had written to the pastor of St. Mark's and many of the members of that church, asking them to intercede with him on her behalf Miss Ramsey, who is a slim, dark-kninned lady of 28 summers, boldly acknowledged that she was in love with King, and that try as she would she could not get his image out of her mind. "I met him one day on the car," she said, "and from that moment he impressed me so much that I can't forget him. I have even prayed to God and asked Him to help me to forget, but it is useless. He has influenced me in some way I can't explain." "She's just crazy about you," said Magistrate Barrett; "as the lady continued to pour out burning words of love. 'Have you ever encouraged her?' "Oh no, positively no," King as as he asked the Magistrate to send her to Believe for observation, saying that among the letters were some threatening him unless he married her. He also presented a statement signed by her some months before where she had promised not to bother him any more. Magistrate Barrett adjourned the case until Saturday morning. "Leave this man alone in the meantime," he warned. "If necessary find some other church to go to." Miss Ramey sings in the chair at St Mark's, Superintendent King is also a member there.

The two crossed to the northbound rails as a Bronx express, in charge of Motormann Edward Schmidt, appronched. Schmidt saw the man, jammed on the emergency brakes, jostling the passengers from their seats. Fearing the worst, Schmidt sprang to the rails and peered under the train, but did not see either man.

Harry Cook, 28 years old, of 333 Cincinnati Avenue, the Bronx, was arrested in the Morrison's police Court on a burglary charge as a result of his capture after he is alleged to have attempted entrance to three apartments near his home recently. He was captured by Patroiman Walter Webb of the Alexander Avenue station, after he had been routed from the last of the apartments—the only one he had succeeded in entering. Cook is said to have first attempted to enter the apartment of Mrs Helen Jordan at 341 Concord Avenue. When just outside the window on the fire escape the prowler was seen and a short frightened him away. A second attempt on another apartment near by resulted in a similar manner. Cook is said to have made his third attempt about 3:45 o'clock in the morning when he climbed up a fire escape at 355 Powers Avenue and entered the bedroom of Mrs Sidle McGuire. She was aroused and got up, only to be seized by the throat. Her husband, alarmed by the sounds of the encing struggle, ran to her rescue and the robber fled out of the window and ran down the fire escape. Some one in the house fired at him and missed. Then McGuire telephoned the police. Patrolman Webb caught a fleeing man at 140th Street and Southern Boulevard and locked him up on a burglary charge. Courts emptied to rob its contents. She said she saw the defendant and was positively sure it was he. McNell was captured by Patrolman Herol McLeod after a long chase.

The dead man is also a brother of Needham Roberts, of distinguished war fame. Roberts was a hostile, possessing rantation as a shank. A waiter by occupation, he worked little. Those who knew him said that he was errant, brutal in his rampages, and given to the use of drums. Mrs. Roberts lived with her mother, Mrs. Gibson, at 26'3 Seventh Avenue. She bore an excellent reputation, was devoted to her child, and beloved by all who knew her. Her husband was St. Mark's M. E. Church. Light-coloured, she was to all appearances white.

He told several of his friends that he was going on a long journey, and it is said that he left a farewell note to that effect in his room just before leaving for the court.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 15, 1923 MOTON MAY BE GIVEN HOT RECEPTION BY IRATE NEGROES Now Openly Charged That He Played Into Hands of White Klan Committee; Whites to Get Head Positions. TUSKEGEE, Ala., August 14.—In the absence of Major Robert R. Moton, who is somewhere in the North, the white Ku Klux Committee that met with Director Hines of the United States Veterans' Bureau has accepted Hines' compromise plan for the personnel of the hospital here. By this compromise the chief surgeon and the two first assistants are to be white, and the hopes of Negroes throughout the country that the hospital would be manned from top to bottom by Negroes is blasted. Word has just reached here that just prior to the arrival of the Committee in Washington, Major Moton held a secret conference with Hines and wired the Committee to come at once to the Capital to see the director. Dr. Moton, it is stated, was not present at the Washington conference, and is openly charged with "double-crossing" his race and playing into the hands of the Ku Klux Committee. This fact is borne out by his failure to face the Committee at the Washington conference or to return to Tuskegee Institute. Word has also reached here that Negroes everywhere are planning to demand that Moton resign, adding that he has more to fear from the colored people here than from the Ku Klux Klan, with whom, it is now charged, he has had an understanding all along. SAY BOY TRIED TO POISON FAMILY CENTERVILLE, Md. Aug. 14.—The alleged determination of a 12-year-old colored boy to wipe out an entire family—husband, wife and two infant children—was uncovered here, according to Justice Robert Coursey, after William C. Copage Hall, Jr., one-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Hall of Church Hill, had died, ostensibly from injuries received in a fall. The funeral of the child late Friday was halted while a coroner's inquest was held, which declared that Frank Bryson had deliberately placed quantities of poison in the baby's milk to kill it, and also had scattered the poison in salt, sugar.

Name Street or R. E. L. City or Town State Three Boys Held on Serious Charge A crowd attracted by the hysterical screams of Mrs. Mary Kelly, 25 years old, of 630 Henderson Street, Jersey City, threatened the lives of three young colored youths whom Mrs. Kelly accused of having attempted to attack her and was balked only when patrolmen drew night sticks and fought their way through with their prisoners. One of those arrested, William Moody, 17 years old, of 345 West 12th Street, was so badly beaten and manhandled by the mob that medical treatment was necessary. He had been posted out by Mr. Reilly as the man who stepped from the shadows of the, 12th Street vindict on Linden Avenue, near her home, seized her, and dragged her struggling into the shadow, where, she says, five other youngsters waited. Despite threats she says Moody made that he would stab her if she cried out. Mrs. Reilly screamed again and again. A group of men year by heard and ran to her aid, followed quickly by scores of others. As the first responders came up three of them dead. Patrolmen Dillon, O'Day and Murphy of the Seventh Precinct arrived while the three who had not escaped were struggling with their captors. Moody, in whose possession the police say they found a long knife, was held on charges of attempted assault and carrying a concealed weapon. The other two arrested—George Christian, 17 years old, of 29 West 138th Street, and Earl Johnson, 18 years old, of 119 West 138th Street—were held on charges of disorderly conduct. William Harris, 27 years old, a chauffeur, of 230 West 63d Street, was arraigned before Magistrate Sweeter in the West 63d Court on charges of colonies assault brought by Harris's mother-in-law, Mrs. Mattie Wilkins, of 232 West 63d Street, as a result of an argument. After listening to the testimony of Harris and Mrs. Wilkins, and the latter's expressed desire not to press the charges, Magistrate Sweeter told Harris, Mrs. Wilkins and Sarah Harris, Harris's wife, from whom he had been separated and who was the original cause of the quarrel, to make up and leave the court room. The three left together. According to the story told the police, Harris has failed to contribute regularly to the support of his wife, as he was ordered to do by the Court of Domestic Relations. Harris said that his wife called to him to come upstairs as he was passing the house where she lives, adding that she had something nice for him. She seemed so amiable, he said, that he wore up, only to CONSTANT CARE NOT LUCK be met at the door of the apartment by his wife who handed him a summons to appear at the Court of Domestic Relations. Mrs. Wilkins and Harris were badly slashed about the wrists and hands. Harris told the police that he had gone to Roosevelt Hospital to receive treatment and then to the West 88th Street station to prefer charges against his mother-in-law, but found her there ahead of him, talking to detectives. He was placed under arrest there. In the morning Mrs. Wilkins had apparently changed her mind, as she had instructed her attorney to say that she did not want to press the charges against Harris. Harris still has to answer the summons to the Court of Domestic Relations. (Preston News Service.) MT. AIRY, N. C., Aug. 14.—Word has been received here that Henry Joyce, while hunting in the mountains, accidently came upon Willie Dick Hisk, a white moonshiner and bootlegger, who shot Joyce and, as he fell face downward into a guill, his feet caught in the limbs of a small tree, suspending his body over the small stream, the head being completely immersed in water. Joyce, it is said, was the victim of a rifle bullet that was fired when his back was turned. It severed the jugular vein and ranged down through his neck, coming out through the left breast, and death probably resulted instantly. According to county officials, Bisk is a relative of the man who shot Deputy Sheriff Zigler. Sial is still at large, and it is impossible to find any clow to his whereabouts. He is said to have a reputation as a blockader and dealer in liquor and is known to be a desperate man. WHITFIELD GUILTY (Crusader Service) CLEVELAND. Aug. 14.—John L. Whitfield was found guilty of murder, with a recommendation for mercy, by a jury in Judge Phillip's court late to-day for the murder of Patrolman Dennis Griffin. May 11. Judge Phillips immediately sentenced Whitfield to life imprisonment in the Ohio Penitentiary. In passing sentence Judge Phillips scored the jury for not returning a sentence that would carry with it the death penalty. Three women and nine men composed the jury. KING OF ABYSSINIA TOILS WITH PEOPLE ADDIS ARABA, Abyssinia, Aug. 10.—His Royal Highness Raf Tafari, King of Abyssinia, is not above going to a rock pile and carrying stones to mound a road, and doing so with the humbleest of his followers, according to Dr. Thomas Lamble, an American medical missionary. Dr. Lamble, who recently returned to his field of labor from the United States, declares that he has been an eye-witness many times of the Kings' co-operation with his people in the most ardent and mental of labor.

So many high-class performances are looked for at the Pre-Olympic Games of the Wilco Athletic Association at the Yankee Stadium on September 8, that it is going to be an extremely delicate proposition to determine just who will be entitled to the special prize that will be awarded to the athlete showing the most meritorious performance in these games. This prize will be in the for mof a bronze plaque, modelled after the one presented to the late Martin J. Sheridan, hero of the Athens Olympics, by the King of Greece for the most meritorious performance at the 1900 Olympic Games. The novel idea of allowing the spectators present at the games to decide the winner of this prize has been hit upon by Chairman Hugh H. Hirshon, chairman of the Games Committee, as the most satisfactory method of determining the athlete to receive this award. Accordingly, attached to each programme distributed at the Yankee Stadium on the day of the games will be a self-addressed postcard, which will give each spectator the privilege of voting on their choice.

Joe Ray, America's premieriller, has won the meritorious prize awarded by the Wilco A. A. for their indoor games in 1922 and again last February. On both occasions he broke world's records and stood out above all other competitors because of his sterling performances. Ray has already made the statement that he will again be the winner of this beautiful trumpy, as he expects to break at least one world's record and contribute his share towards the breaking of both. When he runs on his club relay in the four-mile relay event. De Hart Hubbard, the University of Michigan jumper and hurdler, is another likely looking candidate for the honors. He will compete in the running broad jump, hop, step and jump and 110-metre hurdle race. Athletic experts are looking forward in anticipation of the privilege of witnessing this remarkable jumper break the world's record of 25 feet 3 inches in the running broad. He has cleared over 25 feet on two different occasions this season in competition and in practice has bettered the world's mark by three inches. He is the present American champion in both the running broad and hop, step and jump, titles won at Newark Fall, and at the present writing Ned Gourdin, the former Harvard jumper and holder of the world's record, is the only in the country capable of extending the Michigan star in the running broad. Unless some other jumper comes to the fight in the race now and the date of the games, he is reasonably sure of winning the running, hop, step and jump, also. He has a record of 15 seconds in the 120-yard high hurdles and will make his presence felt against the best high hurdlers in the land in the 110-metre hurdle race. Should Hubbard break the world's record and win one or both of the other events he competes in, and Ray comes through with a world's record in the one-mile run and helps his team mates to break the world's record in the mile relay, the spectator will be at their wits' end to decide which of this pair is entitled to the meritorious Alain Helfrich, America's leading midfielmer, is another star who may play in and demand consideration for this prize. He will run in the 600-metre race and will be a member of the All-East versus All-West relay, and, as he is showing improvement with every race, there is no telling what he might do in the 800-metre race. The fields that will see the mark in the 100 and 200 metre races are the best and brought together. The list includes the names of such sterling sprinters as Bob McAllister, America's 100-yard champion; Brian Murchison, America's 100-yard champion and world's record holder; Eugene Goodwillie, the Chicago schoolboy star, who is considered in the Middle West as being certain of a place on the American Olympic team which will compete in Paris next summer; Louis Clark of Haltimore, national collegiate champion and record holder, and a half-dozen others. If these stars, who are now considered the favorites to win the marathon trophy, fall in their attempts to break records, the prize may fall to Willie Plant, America's leading walker. Plant was anxious to meet Prigiero, the Italian champion, who won the Olympic championship at Antwerp, but the athletic governing body in Italy refused him permission to come to his country at this time. Plant will go on after the world's 2,000-mile record at these games.

Hildale Smothers Baltimore Black Sox in Phila Eastern League Leaders Pile Up Big Score—Chase Two Pitchers—Rosas Struck Over Temple Philadelphia. Aug. 10.—Hilldale buried the Baltimore Black Sox under an avalanche of runs and base hits in an Eastern Colored League game at Hildale Park, the Marylanders being on the short end of a 17 to 2 score. Things started early in the way of overcoming the Baltimore cews; after Pitching Carter had disposed of Briggs and Wainfield in order in the first frame, "Bis" Mackey lined one over the centerfield barrier that was good for four sacks; incidentally, Mackey led his teammates in the slaughter of three of the Sqr hurriers, grabbing 4 of the 21 base blows garnered by his pals. Carter loitered around the scene of action until the second frame, after George Johnson skied out to Kemp. "Judy" Johnson poked out to a single, Allen and Ross followed in order. Ross' drive sending Johnson and Allen over the pan. Lloyd doubled on his first trip to the plate and the Sox captain figured that Carter had enough. Mahoney went to the hill and retired the side without further scores that inning, but was chased to the showers in the sixth inning when he ran headlong into a barrage of hits that netted three tallies for the Darblytes. Britton finished the task and was in turn finished by the 'Hildale club swingers; 9 runs and 10 hits were combed from his delivery during his two and two-thirds innings on the mound. Ross held the Black Sox hitless until the start of the fourth round. Ford, the first man to face him in what proved to be his unfortunate frame, hit a line drive that struck Ross above the left temple. He was carried off the field unconscious and rushed to the Mercy Hospital. Cockrell finished the game and easily held the Sox in check; six hits scattered across as many innings was all that the southernners could do to his delivery. Although the Baltimoreans threatened in the fifth and seventh innings, Cockrell's slippery glants baffled them with men on the base paths. The Sox finally broke into the scoring column in the 8th round, Blaney Hall making the first visitor's tally a personally conducted affair by slamming one of Cockrell's benders over the right field fence. The other marker was produced in the last frame on Clarke's triple shot, and the Sox won the chief offender for the visitors, registering a single, double and a triple, almost half of the hits made by his club.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS; WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1923 THE WORLD OF SPORT RAGTIME AND JAZZ PIANO PLAYING CHRISTENSEN George Moore is Truly the Wizard of Fistiana Thoughts That Came to Us as We Saw His Champion in Action Against a Topnotcher Instead of concentrating fully on the fight before us when Danny Edwards met Frankie Jerome last week at the New York Velodrome, we allowed our thoughts to wander to his manager, who is just now getting over a sick spell which kept him confined to his home for the past two weeks. That George Moore is the wizard among us in things pugilistic that can be no denying, for he has successfully piloted his little "cock of the walk" over obstacles that would tax even the most astute manager in the business. There was Danny Edwards putting up one of his best fights before us, and regardless of the outcome, it was a known fact that he was slated to meet another top nother within a week. For a co-folDED manager to lead a colored fighter in the manner George Moore has led Danny Edwards over the hurdles is nothing about being reluctant and readers would not be bothered by the reporting writers, both white and colored, seem to find a great deal of pleasure in writing about Moore. When Larry Estridge "fell by the wayside" in not being wise enough to get Moore to direct his campaign, he lost the services of the only man in Greater New York today who could so steer him that he would have eventually turned out to be a drawing card. Then, there in that promising, youngster, Jack McVey. Jack is one of the most satisfactory players with a great future before him if he could be induced to do a little thinking "outside of the ring." The writer made some inquiries the other day and found that McVey is not bound to any particular manager. Were we in the fighting game today, not only would we run to Moore for him to pilot us over the hurdles and to the dollars, but if some white manager held our contract we would try to move heaven and earth to be released, so as to be numbered among the Moore stable. And this because this man looks out for his fighters at all times and will never allow one of them to enter the ring unless he is satisfied he is fit. With Moore it is not a case of getting all he can, like the majority of colored boys, but nursing along his men and seeing to it that they get all that's due them, whether they are fighting or not. Of the many fighters in his class we like Jack McVey, and if these few lines should reach his eye we want him to think over what we are saying seriously. We do not know how Mr. Moore will receive these lines, because we have to say about him is something he never knew anything about, and, in taking the stand we do it is simply because we feel he is the best man to handle our fighters in these parts who give promise of making good if handled right.

One of the most interesting and successful tennis tournaments in the history of New York tennis came to a conclusion on Saturday last before an enthusiastic and very colorful tennis gallery on the courts of the Ideal Tennis Club, on West 138th street. Racket wielders, from several States battled all week in the process of elimination until Saturday the various championship rounds were reached. By brilliant playing all through a particularly hard week of strong opposition the following players survived for a chance in the championship round: E. Saitch of New York and E. S. Brown of Indianapolis in the men's singles, Mrs. L. Wade and Mrs. E. Conick in the ladies' singles (both of New York). E. Saith and Mrs. L. Wade vs. F. Jones and Mrs. E.

The first match brought out the ladies' singles and Mrs. Wade had waded little difficulty in disposing of Mrs. Conick 6-4, 6-1. Mrs. Conick started strong but soon found the pace set by Mrs. Wade a little too hot for her and soon retired under the fire; thereafter Mrs. Wade just breezed through for the two sets and the championship, retaining the title she has held ever since Miss Rae left these shores. The men's singles was next in order and, this was the match that everyone wanted to see, for Saitch had already indicated what might be expected of him when he defeated Talley Holmes in the semi-finals of the Philadelphia championship and later at New York on Wednesday defeated Camron Brown for the championship of the Philadelphia Tennis League, and there was no doubt that Brown wanted revenge and Saitch a repetition. Saitch won the first set at 6-1, Brown driving out furiously; neither player was steady in this set and Saitch principally on Brown's errors. Brown came back in the second set and returned the compliment by taking Salitch to camp by the same score 6-1. At this juncture they were playing good tennis though not as good as they did on Wednesday. Salitch won the third set after a great uphill struggle, having brought the score from 5-2 against him to win out at 7-5, winning the last five straight games. The usual 10 minute rest were indulged in and they continued the battle. Both men were now playing beautiful tennis. Salitch to get the deciding set and Brown to square the sets at two all. The battled to tie the ten for, while until Salitch had the fourth set at until Salitch to four with the vantage, not exceeding only one point for the game, set and match, and in possession of the service. But Brown never gave up the fight, and by coolness and good judgment won the game and squared the set at five games all after which he won the set at 7-5 and squared the match at two sets all. The fifth and deciding set then started with Brown serving; Salitch won the game. Brown, however, took the next four games. Salitch then took the next set at 4-3 against him. Brown then won the next two games for the set, match and championship, the scores being 1-6, 6-1, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2. During the last set-young Salitch showed his youth and lack of experience by having his head because of some little irregularities from the ball boys, and without taking any credit away from Champion Brown, this no doubt affected his play.

New York at Edert Jasmin $15 will be given by the Music Department of the University of New York at Edert Jasmin Edwards Meeting Goldstein at Queensboro Thousands Hoot Derisively When Jerome Is Given Verdict Over Danny at the Velodrome "Passing strange it is," said a communication to the writer from out West not very long ago, that in spite of the many decisions handed down against him by the New York and New Jersey judges little Danny Edwards continues to be one of the best business decision of the country. We also note that color seems to play no part in his ability to get some rare plums, and we are wondering if an organized effort is on foot to keep Edwards from getting a whack at Lynch." As we left the Velodrome last Thursday night it dawned upon us for the first time that there was more to that hint in the paragraph above from one of the most able men in pugilism today than we gleaned at first and now we are firmly convinced that Danny Edwards is being used as the stepping stone for the white aspirants for championship honors in the bantamweight class. Edwards at the Velodrome put up another brilliant exhibition against Frankie Jerome last Thursday night and had the crowd on edge from the first round to the last, and, when at the conclusion, the announcement was made that Jerome was the winner, a howl of derision went up, and to us it was conclusively proven that little "Dapper Dan" is having a hard road to travel, but taking things coolly, he is about the busiest fighter in his class in these diggings. Lots of times we look to see Manager Moore taking to 'the housetops and shouting therefrom that an injustice is being perpetrated upon his fighter constantly, but the genial Moore simply emiles and announces another match for Edwards. The very worst that should have happened to Danny in his fight with Jerome should have been a draw, but look, you, they are quietly nursing Jerome for a fight with Lynch, and harmless must be broken in his favor. Tonight at the Queenboro, Edwards will engage in another fight. This time he is taking on Akg Goldstein, and if you are like the thousands of white fans who have come to know and like Edwards through his great showing and gentlemanly manner in and out of the ring, you will follow the big throng headed for Long Island City. This Goldstein needs no introduction at our hands at this time; surface to say that he is all they claim for him, but he will find our "Dapper Dan" right with him every once and a time. In the wake of the Velvet Edwards downward, and instead of staying down, the earnest hope of Jerome, Danny got up and fought harder than he did before. This took the starch out of the white boy, and now the press-agent stuff being sent out on the coming encounter with Goldstein; of a more conservative trend. It has been definitely settled that Jack Johnson, the former heavy-weight champion, will mingle with Erminio Spalla, the Italian heavy-weight champion, in a scheduled 18-round contest to be decided at Dreamland Park in New York on Saturday. Each man has put back from August 20 to give Spalla more time to get into shape for the fray. Nick Cline, manager of Spalla, received a cable from his protege from Milan, Italy, last week, where he bores this week, stating that he intends to sail immediately after that battle, and can be expected here within two weeks. Cline quickly got in touch with the Dreamland Park promoters and agreed on September 6 as the new date for the battle. (Bv ARTHUR E. FRANCIS) Music by Ragan Joyce's Orchestra. Admission so cente.

Young Thompson played a wonderful game and he must be watched by the other players in years to come. The score in this set was 6-1, 6-2, 8-6. There were a few upsets during the week, chief among them being the defeat of Miss Crawford by Mrs. Conckl, and the defeat of Ponder by E. E. Phipps on Thursday.

In Philadelphia tonight, Luis Angel Firpo is to meet Charlie Welser in what is scheduled to be his last bout before he faces Champion Jack Dempsey in the ring at the Polo Grounds on September 14. Many well informed experts have expressed the fear that the result will ruin the championship fight. I subscribe to the belief that Welnetin in a bout with a man like Firpo is not to be rated a set-up. He is not the fighter he once was, but, whatever the extent of his determination he still is a dangerous opponent for such a crude boxer as Firpo has proved "himself to be. should he wreck the man who is being literally railroaded into the Dempsey match, promoter Tex Richard need not look far for a wrestler like Harry Wills is ready to step into the ring against Dempsey at a moment's notice. I will sign him for the match on terms that should make Rickard "pull" for Firpo's defeat by Welnetin tonight. I don't know what Rickard has contracted to pay Firpo for submitting to the slaughter in store for him, but he need not guarantee Wills one cent. Wills will fight Dempsey on a winner-take-all basis. Or, if Dempsey objects to this—which he probably would—Rickard need give Wills only a nominal sum to remove the "prise fight" tainted from the match. This offer should squelch the assertions of Wills' detractors that he is seeking the Dempsey match merely for the loser's end. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Wills wants a championship match because he is confident it would result in the fulfillment of his one ambition—to win the title. Wills is in good condition. As he leads an exemplary life he always is in shape. In the event that Firpo fails to stop Wellert—and he will have to score a knockout to maintain whatever prestige he now holds—the month intervening before the match would give Wills all the time he needs to get right on edge for Denney. Since Paddy wrote the above few lines the "Wild Bull of The Pampas" murdered Wesnert in Philadelphia. Monday night, Charlie had as much chance with "Dead Pan" as we would have running for the Presidency, again proving Paddy's almost childlike confidence in the "human natures" directing the destiny of boxing in America. Jazz owing Bermuda Benevolent Society in Festiva Affair to Be Staged at Man hattan Casino on Night of Aug. 25 and Will Be Noted for the splendid affair which they have staged in the pas and always welcomed when their announcement is made of prospective dances, the Bermuda Benefit Association will again come before the public on the night of August 23 at Manhattan Casino something a little different from what they have usually given the public. On this occasion they arranged a summer night's festival and gim ham dress dance that will carry special appeal in that the casin will be tastefully decorated and supporters of the association will get an opportunity for a night's trot seldom afforded at affairs of this kind. The many estimable people con- nected with the association also spells success for the affair, for it will mean that acquaintances and friends all over Greater New York and New Jersey will turn out to lend their support to what should be one of the season's most attrac- tive dances.

In the scandal sheet of the New York Sunday American, which parades under the more respectable title of the Magazine Page, an illuminating account comes to town telling how Irene Castle, who used to dance for the colored people through the supplication of the late Jim Europe when the dance craze was at its height in this country, with the help of Florence Mills, administered a rebuke to the nobility of Great Britain. Garland Howard and His "7-11" at the Lincoln Florence Parham and Her "Ginger Snaps" Certainly "Made 'Em Rave" Later Half of Week If ever a "big act" got in the It would seem that the lords, dukes and their ladies had a habit of inviting the shining lights of the stage to their parties and having the working performers "do their stuff" without any compensation other than the opportunity to meet the monocle-wearers and the hot press in general. For a long time the american stage celebrities have argued among themselves about discontinuing the state of affairs, and while much was said against the practice, none had the nerve to defend the noble sons and daughters of the "Tight Little Isle." It is said that Lady Cunard, a real leader of society across the pond, planned a party with the idea of inducing Irene Castle to be the big feature of the night and said nothing of a monetary reward for her efforts. It was the same old stuff of "inviting" Miss Castle to be a member of the party, but Irene knew that it was only because she was expected to do in private the dance for which it is said, she is drawing down $1,000 a night to do in public. Irene got sore and could not see her way clear to coming to the way of thinking of Lady Cunard and her friends and while accepting the initiation she planned a diplomatic rebuke, and, so its raid, asked Florence Mills, of the "Plantation Review," to help her. Irene is, putting on what is called the "Butterfly Dance" in London and the English people went wild over it. Lady Cunard not only expected that Irene would put on the dance, but went so far as to arrange spotlights, etc., to add a darmatic touch to it upon the appearance of Miss Castle in her diaphanous habiliments. Consulting with Florence, so it is said, Irene quickly acquired the art of blackface make-up, and borrowing some "down home" clothes of the colored star, chuckled exultantly at the thoughts of the discomfiture, embarrassment, etc., that would be the result. Assembling in the "great hall" of the Cunard mansion, the guests focussed their eyes expectantly on the door from which Irene was to appear, and the gentlemen of the party adjusting their monocles to the right angle to give the "see more" dress, supposed to be worn by Miss Castle a "close up," thought everything would be trapping, doncherknow. But lo and behold! As the spotlight sputtered and Miss Castle came into its rays you could have knocked them all over with a straw, for instead of the beautiful butterfly they saw a real old-fashioned "mammy" doing a clog dance, and so much out of their expectations, there was the silence of the grave instead of the uproarious applause which they had stored up for the entrance of the beautiful butterfly. We have not as yet heard what Lady Cunard said and did after recovering from the shock, but it is dollars to doughnuts few American stars will be asked to entertain the nobility free of charge in the future. Of course, if the story is given a great deal of airing on the other side, they might attempt to draw the color line a little harder, but Florence should worry for the part she played in the affair. "LIZA" The Lafayette Theatre announces, for one week only, the musical comedy sensation, "Liza," which ran for the entire season in Daly's and Baves Theatres. "Liza" will open on Monday night. August 20, with the usual matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and a special midnight performance on Friday. "Liza" has never played for less than the $2.50 scale of prices, but the Lafayette for this week only popular prices will be charged, and no advance in the Lafayette price will be made. The company is a big one, headed by those versatile boys, Green Lee and Drayton, Gertrude Sanders, Irwin C. Miller, Will Cook, Alfonso Fenderson, Doe Doe Green, Billy Mills and a host of others too numerous to mention. The chorus boys and girls number thirty and will be seen in their various song hits and dances which save them the reputation of being the fastest dancing chorus on any stage. The orchestra will be under the leadership of Leut.

Garland Howard and His "7-11" at the Lincoln Florence Parham and Her "Ginger Snaps" Certainly "Made 'Em Rave" Latter Half of Week If ever a "big act" got in the wrong spot at a theatre it was that one called "Let 'Em Rave", which appeared at the Lincoln Theatre all last week. Manager Snyder, no doubt, with only an idea to secure good entertainment for the patrons of the popular little playhouse, went out and brought the footlights little Florence Parham and her "Ginger Snaps", and what those kids did to "Let 'Em Rave" was a caution. I am sure that the manager of the Lincoln Theatre will agree with me when I say that "Let 'Em Rave" was rather sad, but he more than made up for it when he offered the "Ginger Snaps." The bunch of young ladies with the "big act" supposed to be chorus girls, must have felt mighty bad if they remained long enough in the theatre to see those kiddles put over their stuff. From the cradle to 12 years at most, came these youngsters, and ability, watch for the announcement some time in the near future of their return, then hasten to the Lincoln and see for yourself. This week, Manager Snyder is presenting Garland Howard and his "7-11" company as the stellar attraction of the vanderville end of the bill. This act is bound to please and will easily hold its own during the run. In conjunction with some splendid pictures the Lincoln will see bumper houses at every performance. We also note that the manager is advertising some of the biggest pictures for the next, few weeks. New Coat of Paint Adorns Famous Moonlight Ship Decks Cleared to Accommodate Another Monster Crowd When She Leaves Dock at Star Casino Working with a will and leaving no sandpaper in her scuppers or paint buckets laying around after scrubbing the deck and giving her the brightest cost of paint that ever helped to keep a deep sea vessel from accumulating barracades and rust. the famous Moonlight Ship is receiving the undivided attention of Capt. Wilson and his happy crew these days with the idea of bringing the craft to New Star Casino on Monday evening. September 3, looking better than she ever did on any of her previous cruises. The saloon passengers will find decorations greeting the eye when they enter the reserved space on the boat that would do justice to the private yachts of the Vanderolls, Morgans and Goulds, and a large supply of souvenirs and balloons will add to the joy of the occasion when that monster crowd hearkens unto the call of the insistent strain from Allie Rosa' Orchestra. We have it from the captain himself that he is planning a surprise for the passengers when the ship swirls into the river on the biggest excursion of her career, and we can readily believe it as seldom has the hold skipper worked so hard to make an affair of this kind the success it is bound to be. There is only one moonlight ship sailing the seas and all New York can be found on her when she breaks the waves, and it is up to Gothamites to secure their reservations early.

Mr. Holstein in delivering the money to the committee complimented all those who had helped to make the dance a success and exhorted them to still greater efforts on behalf of islanders who have been in severe economic straits, particularly since the advent of prohibition. "Our posterity," he said, "will look back with gratitude upon the raising of this fund. It is the beginning of a new period in the history of the Virgin Islands. In this highly modern, highly scientific world, the man who is educated and has character is one of society's greatest assets.

Twelve years ago, W. C. Handy wrote and published "The Memphis Blues," and at a time when he was struggling for recognition with his wonderful organization in Memphis, Tenn. Many who had studied music looked with contempt on his published Blues. Those who liked Blues could not read his music, therefore it was a difficult matter to find a market for his product. Thereon C. Bennett of Denver, Colo., bought "The Memphis Blues" outright, came to New York, made a small fortune, and Mr. Handy made a name. His business is in the heart of the musical section of New York and it matters not what music you want, whether Blues or classical he can get it for you at an average price of 30 cents per copy, postpaid Handy Brothers Music Co., Inc. of which C. E. Handy is president has a store in Harlem, 2573 Eighth Avenue, where their songs may be had in records, rolls and in sheet music, also music of other publishers, and they have professional offices at 1545 Broadway, where they would be pleased to see their many friends in and out of the profession. W. C. Handy believes that "Competition is the life of trade," and He organized the Pace & Handy Music Inc., which company subsequently published "St. Louis Blues." "Jogo Blues." "Loveless Love Blues." "Beale Street Blues." "Aunt Hagar's Children Blues" and others, yielding in royalties from the phonograph and player roll companies many thousands of dollars. The Columbia Graphophone Co. engaged his band for one year's exclusive service, made the week of February 14, 1919. "Handy Week" all over the United States. This is without question the greatest honor that has ever been conferred on any Negro bandmaster by any phonograph company. It was largely through the efforts of Harry H. Pace, who was then president of Paco & Handy Music Co., Inc., that this contract was consumed. It was in New York that he saw great possibilities for publishing music and in the Summer of 1918 established his firm in the Gallery Theatre Building. 1545 Broadway, where there are now six Negro publishing firms. He was refused quarters on account of his color, but, securing deak space with a Jewish lawyer, made good, and soon was given all the room his business required. A complete organization was formed, and as many as twenty Colored persons were on the pay roll. When business was at its height, internal troubles began that disrupted this organization, and Mr. Handy was left with only the members of his family to handle an immense volume of business and a staggering indebtedness. Although resourceful and a gritton for work, this responsibility was too great, and he suffered a general breakdown and partial loss of eyesight, when his life was despaired of. Mr. Handy is a Pioneer. He is the originator of the Blues. The first Blues publishing company to locate on Broadway. The first to have a laughing trombone on the record. The first to publish the songs and to advertise the first Colored girl to sing on the records, namely, Mamie Smith. The first to show the commercial possibilities in Blues, for which more than sixteen phonograph companies in America are clamoring. The first to give Colored plants, Colored stenographers, Colored bookkeepers, Colored arrangers, Colored auditors, Colored pluggers employment in a Blues institution. He spent thousands of dollars to make the Blues popular when other publishers repudiated Blues. He encouraged Negro slagers, musicians and writers; went out of his way to find employment for them; always upholding the dignity of the Blues, showing their commercial possibilities. His files contain arguments against Blues by many who are now trying to imitate his style, and of others who are glad of the opportunity to make money out of the product of his creation. Mr. Handy wants the patronage of his people because he has done more to promote the music that the Colored man loves than any other person in a similar capacity. He has served our race for more than thirty years. He believes that when you know the true story of his life's work and struggles: when you know of his ability to serve you, you will give him your patronage.

Lincoln Giants won another double header at the Catholic Protec tory Oval, East Trumont, avenue, when they defeated Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac 7 to 8 in nine hard fought innings and swamped the Crane B. B. C. of Philadelphia, Pa. 12 to 2. With the score 6 to 3 against in Washington Potomac's favor the Lincoln Giants went in and scored four runs winning out 7 to 6. Bill Pierce batted for Perry and singled; Joe Williams batted for Streeter and walked; Bill Holland ran for Joe. Wilson and Holt went out. Pierce and Holland taking second and third respectively; Marcell walked filling the bases; Albriter purposely walked Thomas forcing Pierce across the platter; Ben Taylor then took Albriter's place; Dave Brown took Doc Wiley's turn at the but-he walked with the bases loaded forcing Holland, with the score 6 to 5 against his teammates. High Pocket Hudspeth doubled to left, scoring Marcell and Thomas and winning the game. In the second game Joe Williams took the mound, was touched up for a base on balls, three singles, resulting in two runs before a runner was retired; Joe steadled and fanned out the next three batters; after this inning he was the old master of yore and invincible as ever, having 14 strikeouts to his credit. His team-mates went on a batting spree, collecting 12 runs, 11 hits for a total of 20 bases. Hudd, speth alone polled a homer and a triple. Holt, formerly of the St. Louis Stars, made his first appearance in a Lincoln "unle" or regalia and looked mighty fine at short.

BROOKLYN NOTES Bethany Baptist Church, Services were held in Bethany all day Sunday. At 11:00 A. M., Dr. S. W. W. Smith, pastor of the Messiah Baptist Church, Yonkers, N. Y., preached from Exodus 32:33, subject "The Power of a Surrendered Life." After a wonderful sermon Dr. Smith spoke very encouragingly of the devotion forming their duties and the suppression of the members during the absence of their pastor. Dr. Smith is not given to idle flattery and compliments and what he says in preaching or praise bears a good deal of weight. At 3:30 P. M. Df. Smith also served communion in a good audience. At 7:45 P. M, the services were in charge of Prof. Elmer Leon Payne, who offered for the edification of the people a sacred and literary concert. The program consisted of select readings by Miss Clara Lane, a teacher from Atlantic City, Mrs. Margaret Johnson and Prof. Payne; also, some by Louis A. Cabbell, Bartions, Enoch Brodie, Bass, Miss Mary Jackson, Contralto, and Mrs. Irene Chevious, Soprano. The choir sang anthems in which Miss Rosetta Jones, Soprano, and Prof. Payne, Tenor, were the soloists. Dr. Kimball L. Warren, pastor of the church, will be in his pulpit Sunday as urgent business brings him back to the city, but will return to his vacation probably on Monday. ARVERNE, L. I.

Inter-racial Body Meets in Asheville Seek to Find Christian Solution of Race Problem in South. ASHEVILLE, N. C. Aug. 13.—The immediate needs for a complete study of the actual conditions of Negro life and race relations were stressed at the opening of the annual meeting of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, here last week. The big problem confronting those participating in the deliberations of the convention was to endeavor to find a Christian solution for the South's vexatious race problem. John Eagan, of Atlanta, president of the commission, pointed out briefly the main features and purposes of the meeting and the convention. He stated that the movement started in 1919, at a time when it was badly needed, and as time has passed the need of such an understanding as this commission aims at is more and more necessary. Those attending the convention represented every southern State and among them were distinguished ministers, college presidents, teachers, business men, professional men and women, interested in all phases of life. More than a dozen of the leading Negroes of the South were also present and took a very active part in the deliberations of the convention. It was the purpose of those present to talk over the common problems in a frank and free manner, in an effort to reach a better understanding of the desires and wishes of the race. WORK ON NEW SUBWAYS UNDER WAY Only 10 days after the Citizens' Committee of One Thousand started its drive to compel the City Administration to act defensively toward construction of the Washington Heights and Brooklyn cross-town subways, work on these lines will begin Monday morning.

If the work is permitted to proceed without further hindrance, dirt, say experts, should be flying on both routes before the end of the year.

PARIS, Aug. 13—Premier Pain care has instructed the Ministry of the Interior to examine into incidents in which American tourists have objected to association with Negroes and to determine if proprietors of restaurants whence colored guests have been ejected upon the requests of Americans should not have their licenses revoked. Meanwhile, Prince Georges Tovalon, son of a former African potentate, is going to push to the limit in the courts his case against a Montmarre cafe from which he was thrown, together with his brother, after clash with white Americans, the United States. This cafe has already been closed. The two Negro princes were decorated for bravery while serving in the French army during the world war. "I tinted to push the cave to the limit." Prince Georges said. American barbarians must be taught to respect French laws. They cannot act as if they had conquered our country. It is intolerable to imagine that half-drunk Americans with a handful of money can impose their savage customs here." The Paris press defends the colored princes, who were beaten and thrown out when they sought a drink at the bar where Americans were standing. 110 VOLTS KILL MAN IN JERSEY CITY Funeral services were held in Jersey City last Sunday for William Dunn, who was electronically last week when reaching for an extension bulb.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 13—Every Negro in the United States has a right to his or her opinion, but W. J. Simmons seems to think most Negroes have the wrong conception of the fundamental plan and purpose of the Ku Klux Klan. Here is what he says: "The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are the greatest friends the Negro race has ever had; they are wholly without racial prejudice or intolerance of creed; they seek only to maintain the supremacy of the white race and to inspire patriotism." Thus said William Simmons, emperor and founder of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan, in an address here last Thursday night before a large number of Klansmen. "To keep the Negro in his place is our intention, not to kill him or drive him out of the country. We expect to see that he is properly treated and that he is properly cared for, but he must stay in his place. "The Klan has only exercised the privilege of any organisation in this country in restricting its membership. The order has no prejudice against any race or creed. The Klan has no privilege aims to make immoral heritage that came to us from the palms of our noble ancestors." GEORGIA CONVICTS HUNG BY THUMBS ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. 18—Charging that "innovation in certain counties in Georgia are being suspended by their thumbs for bourn, or bound to trees with heavy chains, or placed in torture boxes," Representative Bennett of Dodge County attacked the system of punishment now in use in convict camps at a hearing before a committee of the Committee on Justice. The committee before adjourning recently voted against a bill to amend the State Constitution, offered by Representative Bennett, to restore the use of the stress on unruly convicts. The whipping of convicts was ordered abolished by an executive proclamation issued early this year by Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick. Since the abolition of corporal punishment, Representative Bennett told the committee, "horribly inhuman and cruel method" in state convict camps have been brought into use. It was accepted by others appearing before the committee that some counties are threatening to turn their prisoners back to the State on the ground that it is impossible to work them without using the whip on unruly prisoners. BINED ANNUAL EXCURSION August 26th, 19 TRIP $4.50; Children Under n The Vamp and The Virgin A Serial Story of Negro Life and Love SYNOPSIS—Christopher Bowling, an unexploited Harvard student, known to his classmates as the Virginia, meets Beatrix Marley, a beautiful colored girl of Boston and accompanies her home. Her beauty overwhelms him and he takes her unawares with a kiss; for which he is invited away from the house. Fifth Chapter. THE next morning as the Virgin was about to go to a lecture the porter of the dormitory met him in the corridor. "Mr. Bowling," said the porter, "there's a lady on the phone askin' for you; says she's got to talk with you." The Virgin rushed to the telephone and called, "Hello, hello." "Good morning, Mister Virgin," said a musical voice Good morning, Mister Virgin," said a musical voice. The Virgin's heart began to pump; he knew that voice as he knew no other. He could almost see the face at the other end of the wire, the lambent black eyes, the appl-circle cheeks, the rose-red lips at the transmitter, thrilling along the wire to his own. A sudden warmth came over his body, delightful, weakening, seductive; his hand trembled as he held the receiver. He ground his teeth, and tried to pull himself together. "This is weakening," he said to himself. "Hello!" repeated the voice. "Are you there?" "Yes," he said, clenching his free hand to control himself. "And you know my voice?" And you know my voice. "N-no," he managed to say. "Oh," said the voice, with a new dignity, "then there is nothing more to say. Good-bo--- "Walt a moment!" said the Virgin before he could check himself. "Give me a chance to guess." "You should know who I am," said the voice with a touch of pique. "I addressed you as Mister Virgin. How many ladies call you that? Or did I too quickly believe you when you said you know no other ladies in Boston? I rather expect untruths from other men, but I never dreamed that you could tell me." I might you be angry with me, he said hastily, his wits beginning to scatter under the spell of the voice. "You know you said I was not a gentleman." "Oh, said Beatrix Marley, "go you know my voice after all. Why did you say you didn't? Never mind answering," she added with a laugh: "I know why. It is because you have developed a sudden genius for telling them." The Virgin thrilled all over. "But listen," she continued, and he could all but see her pouting, "why haven't I heard from you! It's two weeks since Bloody Monday and you haven't come near me. I finally had to telephone to see if you were all right. You might have written or something to recover from the shake-up." "But you told me," said the Virgin, in unexpectedly myriad, "you told me I wasn't a geehtman and you didn't wish to see me any more." "Oh, did I? Well, you wore a very bad little boy, you know. And no other boy had beca that bad. I was really angry, I assure you, and I am still when I think of it." In proof of which she was calling him up on the telephone. But the Virgin, who was cooling in the atmosphere of that. He actually burned with shame. "But you forgive me, don't you? I had never done anything like that before; but you were so wonderful, so dailing. Ametardam News, 22. 1988 Seventh Ave Hotel Tattlor, 291 W, 1988 St. Penn R. R., 100 W. 1988 St. Sta. Mastera Office, Penn Station. J. H. Jarratt, 453 Seventh Ave., (ne 24th St.) so irresistible! — I did it before I knew it. I forgive me, won't you? "Well," she said, as if carefully consider it. "I'll think it over and tell you when I am you again. When will that be?" He hesitated. "Duck, boy, duck; It's coming your way," said a warning voice within him. "Why. I don't know," he said, "you know I'm a busy man. My studies——" "Studies, studies, studies! That is the excuse you college boys always given when you don't want to do a thing." "But I really want to, only I——" "If you want to, you will. I must stop now. My mother wants me to go shopping with her. I'll be at home to-morrow night; come or not, as you wish. But you will come, won't you? Good-by—Chris." The Virgin did his best the next day. He marshalled a hundred reasons for not calling on Beatrix Marley. It was fatal to his work, it had ruined many good fellows, it might turn out to be his rise at star, and so forth and so on. But to each argument came the reply — "Chris" coming in a rich contraste from the lowest lips in Boston. The result was never in doubt. At eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Christopher Bowling rang the bell at the home of Miss Beatrix Marley. She opened the door and his heart valued at the sight of her. She was dressed in flimy light blue, which set off her black hair and peach-colored face, and when she moved the dress waved and folded and unfolded like something alive. "Ah, you did come, didn't you?" she said, in a tone that was a kiss in itself, and her eyes met his with a look that made him feel as if the world had stopped. "I helped you were not going to let a lonely girl sit out the evening in disappointment," she continued. "Oh, you could have plenty of company," she said the Virgin. "Not this evening," she said, with a side-long smile. "I took a leaf out of your book and told some little whoppers, so that if you should come we could have the evening to ourselves." The Virgin had not yet sat down, and at the word "ourself" he moved, unconsciously, nearer to her. "We had best be seated," she said, as if to ward him off, then she added reguingly, "and I must sit at a distance from you. You are a terrible young man, Mr. Virgin, and I must keep a walk of retreat open this time." "Oh, don't say that," he begged penitently, taking a chair. "Haven't you forwon me yet?" "I'll tell you later," she laughed, taking a seat on the sofa. "You are beautiful to-night." he said, his eyes devouring her. he said, his eyes devouring her. She waved the compliment away with a length and an undoubted motion of her hands. The Virgin's heart began to swell unbearable. Every move and a sweep of her eyelashes seemed to brush his face, every glance made his nerves tremble. She looked at him pensively, leaning on her arm at the end of the sofa. "Tell me some things about yourself," she said. "I've always wished to know you. Keep in my heart I've always thought—well—I'd like to know you." "There's nothing much to know," he said modestly, "nothing that you'd be interested in." "That is for me to say," she replied. "You're far more interesting than you think you are." In a few minutes he was telling her the story of his life, just as any other man would have done for a pretty girl. It was a short talk, for nothing much had happened to the Virgin. One thing, however, awakened her interest; he shyly confided his belief in palmistry. "Oh, how delightful!" she exclaimed. "I wonder if you could read my palm. No? Ah, but you should try," she said, extending her hand. The Virgin crossed the room, she moved a pillow on the sofa, and he sat down beside her. She placed her palm in his. "I just know you can read me," she said, looking up at him with her head to one side. "And you must read me something nice. It would be awful for a big man like you to read something bad for a little girl." The Virgin held that soft hand in his; he looked at her, Beatrix, so close to him, and trembled. She bent over her palm, her hair swept his cheek. The blood came fooming into the Virgin's head; he gripped her palm, both palms. She raised her face with a startled look. No, no, you must not—Mr. Bowling, Mr. Bowling, you forget. He released her hand. He felt he was choking. "Beatrix, Beatrix, you know I can't help it." he said, his voice shaking with agitation. "As-ah," she said, waving her hand in the face, "you said I wore a mask going to do anything like that. She tapped him lightly on the lips, and the Virgin was off again. "I tell you I love you." Love you! Love you!" he said heartily. "Beatrix, Beatrix!" "No, no," she breathed. "you forget yourself I told you once you said—ah, Virgin, Virginia!" As she spoke his name she Commissioners of District of Columbia Invite Prominent Citizens and Organizations. WASHINGTON, D. C. August 14.

NEW YORK KLAN HEARING IS BEGUN ALBANY, Aug. 31. The Ku Klux Klan hearing before Supreme Court Justice Staley at Elimibethown will begin today as scheduled. It had been feared the hearing would have to be postponed because of legal technicalities. Deputy Attorney General Griffin recently received a telegram from George M. Lepine, of Udilla, N.Y., counsel for the Klan and state organization. Kamille, consenting to have the case heard by Justice Staley at Elimibethown. Justice Hinnah of the Supreme Court Justice Hinnah Alley crumbled a temporary injunction prohibiting the Klan and Kamille from operating in this state as a corporation. Subsequently Justice Staley was to have heard arguments in this city to make the injunction permanent but the hearing was adjourned until Tuesday at Elimibethown, where Mr. Staley is spending the summer. raised her wide eyes to his He forgot the world. He seized her in his arms with broken talk; he raised her face with his hand; her lips were near his, he heisted her again and again. He lifted her, and with one low cry she threw her arms around him and gave him his tie for kiss. Suddenly the Virgin felt a hard grip on his neck and a thunderous voice crushed into his care. Beatrix leaped out of his arms with a scream. "Father!"

Aug. 15—(Special). Immediate suppression of mob violence and lynching, more generous provision for Negro education, and the employment of colored farm and home demonstration agents to teach the people how to make a live under boll weevil conditions were the most important steps urged by the Georgia Race Relations Committee, not only as matters of justice, but also as essential to stop the northward migration of Negroes. The committee, in session here a few days ago, upon the authorities to de their unrestricted violence, N.J. violence, and all good citizens, N.J. urged to stand behind the officers and the courts in all efforts to this end. Attention was called also to the need of giving the Governor authority to deal effectively with sheriffs who are deliquent in their duties. The Legislature was asked to provide more genociously for colored schools of higher grade, and each county was urged to build at least one good school of this character. The committee called attention to the valuable work done by the few colored farm and home demonstration agents in the state, and the employment of such agents in every county was recommended as a means of teaching the people how to make a living under boil weevil conditions. The committee asked the Legislature to appropriate $15,000 for a training school for delinquent girls and also emphasized the need for a state tuberculosis sanitarium for colored patients. It was reported that the women's section of the committee had secured funds for the employment of a colored public health nurse to work throughout the state, organizing and training groups to look after maternal and infant welfare. During the past two years the committee, through its secretary, Dr. T. J. Woolfer, Jr., has directed its efforts largely to the suppression of mob violence, through public sentiment and court procedure. During that time the number of lynchings has greatly decreased, one only having occurred in the first half of 1923. A great deal has been done also in the way of supplying legal aid to helpless colored victims of mobs and other injustice. Many of Georgia's best people are active in the committee's membership.

We demand that you take your joke book off the market in 12 days; this is your only warning. BEWARE! The police won't help you; some of them are loyal members of the K. K. K.

P. of No. 3. --- A LETTER FROM 8. Philemon Greene: THE BROOKLYN PRESS Union of Methodists Raises Negro Question (Preston News Service.) CLEVELAND, O. Aug. 14.—According to expressions of many prominent churchmen in various parts of the country, indications are that an effort will be made to bridge over the Negro question with reference to merger of the Methodist church, North and South. The plan requires the changing of each branch of its constitution to provide for the merger of the general conference and two diacons with helofoform have held separate meetings every four years. Both general conferences and the annual conferences of the church must ratify the changes it is thought that in many sections of the South the measure will encounter great and stubborn opposition. The status of the ministerial standing of the Negro bishops and clergymen will remain unchanged. Dr Harris said. As in the past, there still remains the question of equality with white ministers. However, the Northern division has taken them in on the same plane. The provisions are so arranged that Negro bishops are not to preside over white conferences. BRETHREN IN SESSION (Preston News Service.) NEW ALBANY, Ind., Aug. 6.—The Indiana grand lodge of the United Brethren of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, held a largely attended session here last week. The organization was formed in 1861, and is said to be the oldest Negro fraternal order in the United States. The sessions were presided over by W. A. Gains of W. A. Gains, who is Grand Master. Among the other prominent officials of the grand lodge attending the sessions are: Benjamin Walker, New Albany; Dr. W. F. Brown, Indianapolis; Rev. G. A. Phillips and Enoch Moore, Vincennes; Mrs. Ella Williams and Mrs. Ella Fay, Indianapolis, and Mrs. Mary Smith, of Jeffersonville. MONTGOMERY BANS MASKING IN STREETS (Presion News Service). MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 13.—An ordinance prohibiting any masked person or persons appearing on the streets of Montgomery was passed last Wednesday morning by the Montgomery City Commission. Following the meeting of the commission it was reported that the atrocities committed in the city by masked parties recently and naturally attributed to the Ku Klux Klan had to be stopped and it was thought necessary to pass such legislation in fairness to the Klan and the citizens of Montgomery. TUBERCULOSIS CHEATS ELECTRIC CHAIR HAIRISHBEG, Pa.

MUST FIGHT THEIR OWN WARS, LABOR SAYS LONDON, Aug. 13.—The prodigious people who thought the last war was to be the last war and that it will to send war forever were dead wrong, according to Sir Frederick Banbury, factuary member of Parliament, in a recent debate on the military and naval plans of the nation. Wars, he said, will continue so long as human nature is what it is. To which Jack Jones, Labor member, remarked that if that was the case Sir Frederick and his capitalist friends will have to do the fighting, because labor will have none of it. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 15. 1923 THE FAMILY Divided, Organized Labor Will Lose Press of Workers' Party Says Colored Workers Must Be Admitted to Unions. BY CLARISSA S. WARE. During this year, according to the results of a questionnaire sent out by the Georgia Bankers' Association, from 92 of the 160 counties of the state 41,384 Negroes have migrated North. Although "mob violence; inferior schools, low wages and inequality of law enforcement" are constantly quoted as the reasons causing the Northern exodus of the Negro, the conditions of serfdom and peonage—the whole land system of the South—are driving the Negroes from the land. There can be no doubt that the systematic recruiting of Negro labor for the big stockyards of Illinois, the steel mills of western Pennsylvania, and Ohio—under slogans of high wages and a good job—is an important factor in the recent migration of over 100,000 Negroes. The Southern Negroes have been advertised by Gary, Babson, and certain of their own leaders as a source of cheap labor, which, often refused the protection of the unions, can be exploited, under worse working conditions, for longer hours and lower wages than the white worker. Today the landlords of the South and the industrial operators of the North are competing for this labor. The solution of the problem for the Negroes is not migration. The open shoppers and scab herders of the mines and steel mills are no more their saviors than the field gang bosses and landlords of the South. The industrialists of the North are taking advantage of racial divisions to use one group of workers against another. Today, if they would live, the unions must make good their promises. They must open their ranks to the Negroes, and furthermore they must go out and organise the Negroes whether they be in the North or South, or they, and not the Negroes, will be responsible for the use of Negro labor as strike breakers and aces. They have been organized they have proven stunnch union members. Organised labor can ill afford racial discriminations. United it will stand and go forward - divided it will go down to defeat.

COMMISSIONER ENRIGHT'S order to police inspectors and captains to have their districts free from bootleggers on or before November 1st means that Harlem is to lose nearly all of its drug stores, cigar stores, bootblack parlors and delicatessen shops, as nearly all of them are engaged in the illegal sale of alcoholic liquors. From the number of drug stores opened recently in this section, one would think that residents here are infested with every disease known to modern science. Harlem is infested with every kind of bootleg liquor in the world—mostly all bad—and instead of these drug stores dispensing medicines they are dispensing a death-dealing fluid which they call whiskey. Delicatessen stores come next in number, and are still coming. If you don't find what you are looking for in the drug stores, try the delicatessen shops. They, too, carry a full line of hootch liquor unfit for human consumption. Before the days of Prohibition one had to walk several blocks to find a delicatessen store. Now there are several in one block. Cigar stores come next, etc. ALL SUCH PLACES are known to the police officers of the district and to The Amsterdam News. If the order of the Commissioner is carried out the location of them will soon be in his possession. The police know, too, that about ninety per cent of these places are owned or controlled by one man, which should facilitate the campaign against liquor violators. THE PLAINT of the Ancient Mariner was "Water, water, everywhere! And not a drop to drink." The plaint of Harlem is, "Liquor, liquor, everywhere! And not a drop that's fit to drink." Therefore, we welcome and are willing to co-operate with the Commissioner and the police of the nearby precinct in their campaign against bootleggers. Moton—The Champion Blunderer WE HAVE EVERY REASON to believe that Major Robert R. Moton sent the telegram to the white committee opposing Negro physicians at the Government hospital, in which he "advised that the committee, from town come with all secrecy to see General Hines." Whether or not it came at the insistence of Major Moton—we do know that the Ku Klux committee came to Washington and conferred with General Hines on the situation a day or two after Major Moton is alleged to have sent the telegram. Major Moton was in Washington at the time the telegram is supposed to have been sent. A day or so after the committee, some of whose members are identified with the Ku Klux Klan, came to Washington and conferred with Director Hines. No agreement was reached the first day of the conference, but on August 7th it was announced that the compromise proposal of Director Hines had been accepted by the committee. BY THIS COMPROMISE the chief surgeon and the two first assistants are to be white and others of the personnel colored. In these three positions half the money and all the authority goes to the whites. WHERE WAS MAJOR MOTON when this compromise was reached? In his telegram he is alleged to have wired that illness prevented his return to Tuskegee. Did illness prevent his remaining in Washington to be present when the committee conferred with Director Hines, with whom he had just concluded a "confidential interview"? But the part of the telegram which, if true, forever stamps the Major as a pussyfooter and a traitor to his race, is his instructions to the committee to get in touch with Senator Underwood of Alabama—the same Underwood who has opposed every move looking toward the progress of the Negro in America. Dr. Moton is not ignorant of this fact. THE HEAD OF TUSKEGEE has been absent from his post for the most part since the hospital situation became acute. He was absent when the Ku Klux Klan taged a parade as a protest to a Negro personnel. He was absent when the committee of prejudiced white men came to Washington to force the will of the Klan upon Director Hines. And though it has now been over a week since the announcement that the damnable compromise had been reached, he has not let one word fall from his lips in protest, despite his assurances that he would never consent to the inauguration of a white chief surgeon at the hospital. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE AMSTERDAM NEWS called upon Major Moton to resign his position as head of the institution made famous by Booker T. Washington. He is an unworthy successor and is incapable of imparting to the students under him that something which is not acquired by the reading of books and the learning of trades—manhood and womanhood, sincerity and courage. We call upon him again to resign, with the assurance that our call will be echoed by the students, alumni and friends of Tuskegee Institute, the Negro Veterans of the World War. Negro churches and organizations, and individuals with even an ounce of race pride in their hearts. Call upon him to resign and make your voices heard, even if it means the boycotting of the institution and the hospital. Blunderers must not be tolerated within our ranks.

"FROM 'SUPERMAN' TO MAN" Third Installment THE Senator looked up as if he had not been expecting a response, but seemingly pleased with Dixon's acquiescence he continued as he turned the leaves: "Writers of this type don't know what they are talking about. They write from mere theory. If they had to live among 'niggers' they would sing an entirely different tune." Dixon felt that he ought not to let this remark go unchallenged. He protested courteously: "Yet, sir, M. Finn had proved his arguments admirably. I am sure if you were to read his book you would agree with him, too." "Didn't you just say you differed with the views in this book?" questioned the Senator sharply. "I fear you misunderstood me, sir." "Didn't you say you did not believe in the equality of the races?" "Yes, sir." "Then, why?" "Because as you said, sir, it is impossible." "Yh? Why?" "Because there is but one race—the human race." producing and continuing itself. "Again, anthropologists have never been able to classify human varieties. Huxley, as you know, named 2, Blumbach 5, Burke 63, while others, desiring greater accuracy, have named hundreds. Since these classifications are so vague and change- The Senator did not respond. Despite his anger at the manner in which Dixon had received and responded to his question, he stopped to ponder the situation in which his unwitting question had placed him. As he had confessed, he did not like educated Negroes, and had no intention of engaging in a controversy with one. His respect and his aversion for this porter had increased with a bound. Now he was weighing the respective merits of the two possible courses—silence and response. If he remained silent, this Negro might think he had silenced him, while to respond would be to engage in an argument, thus treating the Negro as an equal. After weighing the matter for some time he decided that of the two courses silence was the less compatible with his racial dignity, and with much condescension, his stiff voice and haughty manner a marked contrast to his jollity of a few minutes past, he demanded: "You say there is only one race. What do you call yourself?" "An American citizen," replied the other composedly. "Perhaps you have never heard or the word 'nigger?'" "Couldn't help it, sir," came the reply in the same quiet voice. "Then, do you believe the 'nigger' is the equal of the Anglo-Saxon race?" "I have read many books on anthropology, sir, but I have not seen mention of either a 'nigger' race or an Anglo-Saxon one." "Very well, do you believe your race—the black race—is equal to the Caucasian!" Dixon stopped to weigh the wisdom of his answering. What good would it do to talk with a man seemingly so rooted in his prejudices? Then a simile came to him. On a visit to the Bureau of Standards at Washington, D.C. he had seen the effect of the pressure of a single finger upon a supported bar of steel three inches thick. The slight strain had caused the steel to yield one-twenty-thousandth part of an inch, as the delicate apparatus, the interferometer, had registered. Since every action, he went on to reason, produces an effect, and truth, with the impulse of the comosse behind it, is irresistible, surely if he advanced his views in a kindly spirit, he must modify the error in this man. But still he hesitated. Suddenly he recalled that this man was a legislator. Here was one of those who, above all others, ought to know the truth. This thought decided his course. He would answer to the point, resolving at the same time to restrict any conversation that might cause to the topic of the human race as a whole and to steer clear of the color question in the United States. He responded with soft courtesy. "I have found, sir, that any division of humanity according to phylogue can have but a merely nominal value, as differences in the phylogues are caused by climatic conditions and are subject to a rechange by them. As you know, both Science and the Bible are agreed that all so-called races came from a single source. Scientists who have made a study of this question tell us that the Negro and the Yankee are both approaching the Red Indian type. Planted humanity becomes lighter in the temperate zone, while unplanted, humanity becomes brown in the tropics. One summer's exposure at a bathing beach is enough to make a life-crime darker than many infusions. The true size of all human beings is of the same color; all men are white under the first skin. "Then it is possible by the blending of human variation to produce insubstantial other religion such one can be formed." "Then, why?" "Why? Why?" producing and continuing itself. "A gain," anthropologists have never been able to classify human varieties. Huxley, as you know, named 2. Blumbach 5. Burke 63, while others, desiring greater accuracy, have named hundreds. Since these classifications are so vague and changeable, it is evident, is it not, sir, that any division of humanity, whether by color of skin, hair or facial contour, to be other than purely nominal, must be one of mentality? And to classify humanity by int'ect, would be, as you know, an impossible task. Nature, so far as we know, made only the individual. This idea has been ably expressed by Lamarck, who, in speaking of the humain race, says, 'classifications are artificial, for nature had created neither classes, nor orders, nor families, nor permanent species, but only individuals." The Senator handed back the book to Dixon huffily. "But you have not answered my question yet," he insisted. "I asked, do you believe the black race will ever attain the intellectual standard of the Caucasian?" "Intellect, whether of civilized or uncivilized humanity as you know, air, is elastic in quality. That is, primitive man, when transplanted to civilization not only becomes civilized, but sometimes excels some of those whose ancestors have had centuries of culture, and the child of civilized man when isolated among primitives becomes one himself. We would find that the difference between a people who had acquired say three or four generations of benighted culture and a people whose civilized would be about the same as would exist between the individuals in the long-civilized group. That is, the usual human differences would exist. To be accurate we would have to appraise each individual separately. Any comparisons between the groups would be inexact." "But, reiterated the other, sarcastically, "you have not answered my question. Do you believe the black man will ever attain the high intellectual standard of the Caucasian? Yes or no." "For the most authoritative answer," responded Dixon in the calm manner of the disciplined thinker. "we must look to modern science. If you don't mind, sir, I will give you some quotations from scientists of acknowledged authority, all of your own race." Dixon drew out his notebook: "Bah," said the other savagely, "opinions! More opinions! I asked you what you think and you are telling me what someone else says. What I want to know is, what do you think." "Each of us," replied Dixon, evenly, "however learned, however independent, is compelled to seek the opinion of someone else on some particular subject at some time. There is the doctor and the other professionals, for instance. Now in seeking such advice one usually places the most reliance on those one considers experts, is it not? This afternoon I overheard you quoting from one of Lincoln's debates with Douglas in order to prove your views." Silence. Dixon opened his notebook. After finding the desired passage he said: "In 1911 most of the leading sociologists and anthropologists of the world met in a Universal Race Congrese in London. The opinion of that congress was that all the so-called races of men are essentially equal. Gustav Spiller, its organizer and secretary, voiced the findings that entire body of experts when, after a careful weighing of the question of superiority and inferiority, he said (here Dixon read from the notebook): "We are then under the necessity of concluding that an impartial investigator would be inclined to look upon the various important peoples of the world so, to all intents and purpose, essentially equal in intellect, enterprise, morality and physique." Dixon found another message and said; "First, whose findings ought to be regarded as more valuable than the expressions of those who base their arguments on sentiment or Hebrew mythology, says. 'All peoples may stain this distant frontier which the brains of the whites have reached.' He also says. 'The conclusion, therefore, forces itself upon us that there are no inferior and superior races, but only races and peoples living outside or within the influence of culture.' The appearance of civilization and its evolution among certain white people and within a certain geographical latitude is only the effect of circumstances." "Zamenhof, the inventor of Esperanto, in his paper before the Universal Races Congress, says: Give the Africans, without any mingling of rancor or oppression, a high and humane civilization, and you will find their mental level will not differ from ours. Abolish the whole of our civilisation and our minds will sink to the level of an African cannibal. It is not a difference of mentality in the race, but a difference of instruction." Dixon closed his notebook and said, "The so-called savage varieties of mankind are the equal of the civilized varieties in this: There is latent within them the same possibilities of development. Then the more developed peoples have the germ of decay more or less actively at work within them." The passenger had been waiting his turn with impatience. Now drawing up his overcoat over his palapama-clad knees, and raising his voice in indignation, apparently forgetting all previous qualls of lowered racial pride, he hung at Dixon. "That's all nonsense. It is not true of the Negro, for while the white, red and yellow races have, or have had, civilizations of their own, the black has had none. All he has ever accomplished has been when driven by the whites. Indigenous to a continent of the greatest natural resources, he has all these ages produced absolutely nothing. Geographical position has had absolutely nothing to do with it, or we would not have had Artoc civilization. Tell me, has the Negro race ever produced a Julius Caesar, a Shakespeare, a Montesuma, a Buddha, a Confucius? The Negro and all the Negrold races are inherently inferior. It is idiocy to say the Negro is the equal of the Caucasian. God Almighty made black to serve white. He placed an everlasting curse on all the sons of Ham and the black man shall forever serve the white." And his face flushed with excitement. Dixon, apparently unmoved, responded: (To Be Continued Next Week) Jack Blue Celebrates 107th Birthday DUNN, N. C., Aug. 13—Jack Blue, who is to be the oldest active tenant farmer in North Carolina, celebrated his 107th birthday anniversary last Saturday at his small home on a farm near Cape Fear, where he has spent all his life. Mr. Blue has not lost a day in the past 20 years and walks about sprightly without the use of a cane. Blue is a tenant farmer on the plantation of J. L. Thompson. He told reporters that during slavery he was cared for by his bachelor lady. "I mean that she was never married. She taught me to read and write and figure a little. She was sure kind to me," he said. Hon. Gever Britt, secretary of the Dunn Chamber of Commerce, said that he became so interested in the old man that he made a special investigation of his small farm and found that he actually had one of the finest growing crops of Harnett County. Britt says: "Bite evidently has solved the boll weevil curve, for the old man's crop is not infected. Bite claims that the weevil cannot destroy all kinds of weeds and there are some weeds that will kill the insect." Britt claims that an effort will be made to secure from the old Negro the secret of destroying the boll weevil if possible.

The two chief ways by which an infant b tuberculosis are: (1) Coming in close contact son; and (2) drinking milk from a tubercular IT is the common belief that tuberculosis is an hereditary disease. Medical science knows it is not and is now impressing upon the laity the fact that infant tuberculosis in 90 per cent of the cases is contracted after birth. The two chief ways by which an infant becomes infected by this tuberculosis are: (1) Coming in close contact with a tubercular person; and (2) drinking milk from a tubercular cow. In this section of the country the government insists that all milk sold to the public is pasteurized, and each cow is tested scientifically for tuberculosis. In this way the milk sold is free from tubercular germs. In countries and places where this precaution is not taken, children develop frequently bovine tuberculosis, or tuberculosis from a cow. appallingly large number of innocent babies. Because of this low resistance to tuberculosis in infants, the method to prevent infection, and repeated infection, becomes of permanent importance. First and foremost is the prompt removal of any infant from a tuberculous environment. Sometimes the source of infection is the mother, sometimes it Most adults at some time during their life were infected by tubercular germs. In most of these cases infection occurred during their infancy. The dose of this infection is as a rule very small, and it does not sign and symptoms of the disease, but enough to stimulate the protective forces of the body. the 'anti-bodies' of the blood. This is the process of "immunity." and it holds good with many other diseases of an innate nature, preventing any further development of the germs which got into the body. The protection against tuberculosis or any other infections or contagious disease depends largely upon the production of these anti-bodies" into the blood. In luxury the power to manufacture antibodies" is very low, but is gradually developed as the infant grows older. Between the ages of 3 months and 3 years is a trying period of life, because the defensive mechanism of the blood is not strongly developed at the age period, from three months to three years, that active tuberculosis develops and kills an Legal ATTORNEY AND Rent PRIOR to the enactment of the hold a written lease, his rig by that agreement.

ROBINSON Rent Laws PRIOR to the enactment of the Emergency Rent Laws, if the tenant hold a written lease, his rights and obligations were measured by that agreement. The law applied equally to all classes of property, irrespective of whether its use was for residential, business or other purposes. When the lease expired the tenant had to move. If he did not, the landlord had two alternatives; he could elect to treat the tenant as a trespasser, or could adopt him as a tenant for a further term. If he chose to treat the tenant as a trespasser, the landlord had the right to recover his property, and damages for its withholding. Where there was no written lease, the tenant held, either as a month to month or as a monthly tenant. He could only be removed upon proper notice, but such such notice had been given, and inlaws could proceed to recover his property. The landlord had a similar right to disposes his tenant where the latter failed to pay rent. Where there was a written lease, the rent therein specified had to be paid, or disposes proceedings could be made. When there was no written lease, the landlord had the right to impose what he pleased, and if the tenant failed to pay, he could be put out, irrespective of what the rate was. The landlord had the right to prescribe the terms on which either a new or continued lease could be enjoyed. The prescribing right was stayed by the tenant at any stage, paying up the arrears of rent and costs of the action. The emergency rent laws. in operation until 1824, suspense and restrict these remedies of the landlord. This restriction grounds him in certain parts of the State, the State of New York, and in favor of a certain time of real property—that occupied for dwelling purposes. The landlord is now restricted to four classes of exceptions, in which he may maintain disposes procedures against a tenant whose term has expired, such tenant being called a "holdover." The first of these exceptions is in the case of an objectionable tenant. The temporary law provides that a tenant, whose lease has expired and who is holding over without a lease, cannot emergency legislation, of the emergency legislation, of the landlord establish, to the satisfaction of the Court, that he is objectionable. The second class of exceptions is where the owner of the property, needs to recover for personal occupancy by himself and his family, as a dwelling. The landlord must establish each of six distinct prerequisites, (1) that he is the record of record of the property, (2) that he is a natural person that is not a corporation or partnership, (3) that the application is being made in good faith, (4) that the procedure sought to be recovered are to be occupied by a owner and his family as a dwelling, (5) that such occupancy is to take place. erculosis is an hereditary disease. and is now impressing upon the osis in 90 per cent of the cases is an infant becomes infected by this ose contact with a tubercular per- tubercular cow. appallingly large number of innocent babies. Because of this low resistance to tuberculosis in infants, the methods of infection, and resistance to infection, become of paramount importance. First and foremost is the prompt removal of any infant from a tuberculous environment. Sometimes the source of infection is the mother, sometimes it is a relative, sometimes it is a friend. In tuberculosis the best of friends are the mother and friend of an infant is its mother. But true friendship always does best for a friend, so a mother with tuberculosis should, if possible, allow the infant to have a chance for its life. The infant should be away from the immediate environment of the mother. Secondly, every infant should be guarded against acutely infectious diseases; such as measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, chickenpox, and marked degree the resistance of the infant to an infection by tuberculosis. Many mothers believe that measles and whooping cough are childhood diseases and do not cause serious results. This is wrong. In infants between 6 months and 3 years, measles and whooping cough decrease the body-immunity and tuberculosis frequently complicates these diseases or develops soon after resistance. Loss of weight or repeated and continuous respiratory catarrh, should be locked on with suspicion in an infant, and medical advice and treatment should be given to such an infant Talks A J.
