GARVEY LOSES APPEAL
Ban Negro
Immigration
The cloud of exclusion, which so frequently hovers over the destinies of the Negro group, spreads to new areas day by day. It has grown from national to international proportions, and it is difficult to say just what barriers may be erected in the pathways of Negro immigrants, who for one reason or another may seek admission to a number of foreign countries.
Not long ago a bill was introduced in the Brazilian Legislature encouraging the immigration of all foreigners save Japanese and Negroes. Inducements of labor and homesteads were held out as an attraction to sturdy foreigners who might be desirous of working in the Brazilian coffee fields and on the farms; but care was taken to specify the undesirability of the yellow and the black men
And now comes the word from honduras of the introduction in the national congress of a resolution to amend the immigration law so as to allow Negroes from honduras. The reason for the alleged resolution is said to have been brought about by undesirable competition between Negro and native Brazilian labor. Yet the cry comes from the American southland that Negro labor is lazy and shiftless, unmindful of work obligations and given to crime. The two equations hardly balance each other, and when it is remembered that even in the mines of Africa concerted and unremitting efforts have been made to replace black labor with white labor, it is readily seen that such an alleged cause as labor competition is merely a hoax to mislead the peoples of the world. The reason for immigration barriers and the spreading bans which are grown against the black people is the outgrowth of fear and prejudice—fear of the black man becoming equally efficient and equally cultured, and the secret pledge to see that he is kept "in his place," with a ball and chain around his economic ankle, and a primer and blocks instead of a text-book and pencil and his up-stretched hands.
"Political What'll I Do?"
While listening in, the other night, radio developed a buzzing and, which, when we turned the anob over to the right scale, readily converted itself into a "What'll I Do?" chorus, sung in political meter. It seemed as though 10,000 voles were striving for vocalistic mastery during solo periods of the chorus.
We counted not less than 35 male voles, some tenor, some bass, and some falsetto, singing a solo entitled, "I Want to Be Register of the Treasury." This selection was followed by a quartet, which inharmoniously sang, without accompaniment, a sorrowful ballet, "I Want (Continued on Editorial Page)

SOUTHERN BENEFICIAL LEAGUE AND COACHMEN ENDORSE MOVEMENT
Several thousand names have been secured by the Equity Congress, 2295 Seventh avenue, to its petition demanding all colored officers for the 369th Infantry, National Guard. Many organizations have endorsed the movement, including the Southern Beneficial League and the Coachmen's League, both of which have large memberships. These organizations have ordered the drafting of a letter to Gov. Smith, urging his support.
Officials of the Equity Congress deny that they are attempting to further the cause of any individual. In submitting the names for promotion they say that that was done "solely to offset the stock excuse that there are no colored men qualified.
"Men now in the regiment." they declare, "do not realize what it meant in the earlier days of the regiment to have it constantly dinned in your ears that no colored men were qualified. Not the individual but the principle is what we have in mind."
In the earlier days of the regiment no one could hold a commission unless he had at least three years' experience in the army or the National Guard. This condition the Equity

PEORIA, Ill. Feb. 2.—William "Pusseyfoot" Johnson, aged 56, Friday afternoon was sentenced to 25 years in the Leavenworth Penitentiary and fined $10,000 upon his conviction of possessing and selling narcotics.
On account of John's age and health, the sentence is regarded as a life term.
Motion for a new trial was denied, but Attorney Dougherty for the defense was given 30 days to file exception to the verdict. The sentence was one of the aforementioned over handed out in District Court here. Johnson was found guilty on 44 counts of an indictment that contained 110. If the sentences on the separate counts had run consecutively, Johnson would have received a total of 215 years in the Federal Prison.

Method Used by Harlem Hospital Physician Revealed Following Aged Man's Fall on Pavement.
How white physicians in Harlem Hospital prey upon colored members of the community by making connections with patients inside the hospital and later calling at their residences to give private treatment at exorbitant fees was revealed last week following an accident to an aged ex-slave taken there in a hospital ambulance for treatment. Wednesday afternoon James W. Wilson, about 90 years old, living with his wife at 69 West 133rd street, slipped and fell on the ice pavement in the block in which he lived. The aged man, who is hardly able to hear or see, is unable to work and is supported largely by his sons, was picked up and taken home in a painful condition. The family physician, Dr. J. Walter Stiles, of 218 West 138th street, who has known the Wilson for years, was called in and after an examination thought it best that Mr. Wilson he taken to the Harlem Hospital, where he believed he would get the kind of treatment necessary to save his life. With Mrs. Wilson's consent he called the hospital for an ambulance and the aged man was removed there Thursday morning.
Arriving at the hospital treatment was at first refused, it was paid on the ground that it was not an emergency and because there continued to be

Potentate of U.N.I.A. Ordered Arrested and Sent to Atlanta
That Marcas Garvey must serve the five years' sentence and pay the fine of $1,000 imposed on him by Judge Julian Mack in June, 1923, was upheld in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in a unanimous decision by Judge Charles M. Hough, and concurred in by Judge Learned Hand and Henry Wade Rogers. Garvey is in Cleveland and as soon as the decision was handed down Asst. District Attorney Maxwell N. Mattuck, who had appeared against him during the trial, issued an order for his arrest. He was out on $15,000 cash bail.
Judge Hough in his decision reviewed the facts covering the in-illment of Garvey, which charged him with using the maids to defraud in selling stock in the Black Star Line. Touching particularly on Garvey's uplift program and title of "Protosocial Problem of Victoria," Judge Hough said:
"While there center around Garvey other associations or corporations having for their object the uplift and advancement of the Negro race, the entire scheme of uplift was used to persuade Negroes to buy shares of stock in the Black Star Line at $5 per share, when the defendant well knew that said shares were not, and in all human probability never could be, worth $5 each or any other sum of money. "It may be true that Garvey fancied himself a Moses, if not a Messiah; that he deemed himself a man with a message, and believed he needed ships for the deliverance
JERSEY CITY. Feb. 2.-Louis James, a six-footer weighing more than 200 pounds, was overpowered and arrested by three detectives in a room at 63312 Henderson street Saturday and was held in a fugitive from justice in New York, where he is wanted by police in connection with the shooting to death of Thomas Marshall, colored, in the house at 250 West 111 street, where both lived, according to the police.
The pair had a dispute over a woman and in a struggle James shot and killed Marshall, it is alleged.
When Detectives Nagle, Williams and Denzisyl burst open a locked door James was in bed, folly clothed, on a dresser lay a revolver.

Snake Oil and Voodoo Charms Failed to Relieve Diseased Brother, Woman Says
According to a ruling in Brooklyn Municipal Court by Justice Charles B. Law, Matilda Roper, who hailed recently from Virginia, is due to recover $700 she says she spent for voodoo charms, snake oil and witch doctor treatment. This is, perhaps, the first ruling of its kind in the New York courts.
Mrs. Reper said that her brother, being affiliated with a disease in his joints she called on Bright Star Writtington, 335 Putnam avenue who, she said, claimed that he had powers to cast out devils. He charged her $1.2 in all, she said, and, although she sprinkled all the powders to her her and repeated all the magic phrases he told her to, her brother grew worse. She then mentioned the matter to Attorney Rufus Perry, who directed her to bring salt.
Mrs. Reper said that at one time Bright Star offered to sell her a bucky snake for $3. Mrs. Henry, a single man, 100 yards, has also brought snails against Bright Star.

GARVEY MUST SERVE 5 YEARS
(Continued from Page 1.)
His people; but with this unseamed, it remains true that if his people consisted in part of exhortations to buy worthless stock, accompanied by deceivingly false statements as to the worth thereof, he was guilty of a scheme or artifice to defend when the jury found the necessary intent about his stock scheme, no matter how ill-fitting, philanthropic or altruistic his larger outlook may have been.
---
Judge Hough further contended that the only way in which the sale of Black Star Line stock differed from other fraudulent conspicuous was in the injection of the color question. He says:
"Stripped of its appeal to the ambitious emotions or race consciousness of men of color, it was a simple and familiar device of which the object (as of so many others) was to ascertain how it could unload upon the public its capital stock at the largest price possible.
"At bar there is no attempt to justify the selling scheme practiced and proven; it was wholly without morality or legality and the judgment is affirmed."

The Trial.
Garvey was brought to trial on May 19, 1922. Arraigned with him were Eile Garcia, ex-adjudicator general; George Tobias, treasurer, and Cortando Thompson, ex-adjudicator general.

The two indictments against Garvey contained eight counts. He was found guilty on the third count of the second indictment in that he used the mails in a conspiracy to distract one Benny Danzig, a railroad porter, who had paid five shares of stock. The courtasted over a period of three

Southern Co. Made to Pay Damages
JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 2 (By the Associated Negro Press). The final findings and degree of Judge Homes, of the Federal Court here, in the most unusual and highly interesting damage suit which began in that court some time ago, in which Mrs. Mary Rarland sought an injunction against the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company and damages for herself and Mildred Ross, have just been received.
The court awarded Mrs. Ragland $3,000 for injuries suffered by the child and $1,500 for personal damages. The bill was also enjoined from further operation until it can so operate as not to allow an appreciable amount of dust or fint to be thrown from it to Mrs. Ragland's premises.
The burden of the trial rested on that fact that the factory, situated across the street from Mrs. Ragland's residence, operated in such a manner that the dust and lint from it escaped Mrs. Ragland to keep her doors, and windows closed. Even that was not sufficient protection, however, and the occupants of her home suffered.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT TRIAL WON BY MRS. MAJORS
.
Dr. Monroe A. Majors First Sued About Two Years Ago—Many Actions, Including Commitment to Insane Asylum, Taken in Case.
CHICAGO, IL. Feb. 2
(By) The Associated Negro Press.
The famed Majors case has come to a close. Sitting in the Great Court of Cook County Judge Rush ended a drama of mutual discord which because of the more or less national acountainance and prominence of the principals involved has widespread attention. Under the decree a handed down Mrs. Jessie P. Majors won her freedom from Moore A. Majors, well-known resident physician and author of the south side.
Mr. Major, formatrix the wife of Dr. W. Humbick, of Nashville, a baron of exceptional culture and attractiveness, is well known in the musical world. For two years the litigation and stumborn court battles have been realistically followed by divorce fans who crowded every session of the court at which the case was called, eager to hear, perhaps, the allusions to moral misdeeds, which many seemed to expect, but attorneys on each side were careful to protect the names of other people, although many were mentioned in the counter charges. A brief history of this most sensational case follows:
Mrs. Majors first divorce suit was filed against the doctor in January, 1923, charging adultery. The case was tried before Superior Judge Hurley and dismissed. In May, 1923, the present bill was filed in the Circuit Court and a few days later Dr. Majors was arrested for having struck Mrs. Majors. The case was dismissed when he appeared for trial in the Municipal Court. On June 4, 1923, the doctor was again arrested at the instigation of Mrs. Majors, who charged that he was carrying concealed weapons. She sought to have him sent to the Bridewell, but the court placed Dr. Majors on probation. The next day, on complaint of Mrs. Majors, the doctor was sent to the Jawcobopathic Hospital as in June. After a bitter struggle before Judge John J. Sullivan, the doctor was released on a writ of habeas corpus. The decision of Judge Rush in
Divorce Scandal Rocking Churchmen in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
Reported Private Detectives Had Installed Dictaphone in White Rose Home Where Minister's Wife Staved.
For the past two weeks the religious circles in New York, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Phoebe Va. have been charged with gossip relative to the divorce suit filed in Pittsburgh against Mrs. Edna M. Jones, gospel singer, whose voice thrilled thousands of listeners, while she was filling a two weeks' contract during the review at Mother Zion Church, 151 West 129th street. Mrs. Jones is the wife of the Rev. W. Augustus Jones, pastor of the Central Baptist Church Pittsburgh, Pa., with a congregation of over 6,000 members. In one instance her husband escaped her with undue friendship with several men, including many prominent preachers, deacons and other lesser lights in the ecclesiastical armament.
On another occasion the husband claimed he had to go to California to bring her her last a after an injury with a white contractor, who was engaged in building a new church for the pastor, Mrs. Jones was working under the supervision of her, N.A. Grahn, field societors of the Lattimore Foreign Mission Society, whose headquarters is in Phoebos, Va., and this gave her an opportunity to travel and stay in churches over all the country.
It is claimed that, after unwelcome reports started coming in about his wife, Rev. Jones engaged services of Bouldin's National Detective Agency 119 East 12th street to verify his suspicion. Early in December she was one of a party of four mis-situations scheduled to soil for African bur, through some peril reasons, she remained in New York.
For two weeks, common in January 3. Rev. R. J. Buckner evangelist, conducted a two weeks revival at Mother Zion Church, and Mrs. Jones did the singing. It is claimed that after church services in the evening and some granting the decree to Mrs. Majors was summed up as follows: That the evidence in the case was confiling; that the preponderance of same was in her favor; that sollicited fee of $259 should be granted her together with an undivided half interest in the beautiful property at 410 Prairie avenue.
In the matter of allmany the judge is credited with having rendered a humanitarian degree favorable to the defendant, his temperament and disposition being said to have been the principal deciding factor on this point. Counsel in the case were commended for the legal technique employed in blocking to a large degree the rumors of indiscrepations and delicate situations which were expected to furnish food for gossip at the hands of the ever-present scandal menagers. The law firm of Adams and Baker represented Mrs. Mapurs in the case.
time during the day, Mrs. Jones was seen with several male companions, including the trustee of a prominent church, engaged freely in drinking and undue friendship.
At present all the names of correspondents will be kept secret for further developments. Rumor is out that a movement is on tool to oust Mrs. Anna D. Frettwell, matron of the White Rose Room for her connections with the Jones matter; during which she wrote a letter to a newspaper watch established an alibi for Mrs. Jones. It is claimed that detectives and Rev. Jones' lawyers have several witnesses and positive proof that on January 11, after the church services in Mother Zion, Mrs. Jones went to a cate with a male companion said to be a prominent church man, where they engaged freely in drinking until a late hour, and finally went to a jum, where Mrs. Jones spent the night.
Detective's positively that Mrs. Jones did not return to the White Rose House until A.M. Monday they were trailed several times to a cheap sny restaurant and in one occasion Mrs. Jones and another male companion were trailed in a test to an address on 1141 street, where the detectives say, the couple escaped negotiations for a truce.
Attorney Dyett Hail and Person will represent the interim H. Jones in New York for the liaison of repossessions and other matters.
Accused Man Takes Own Life
---
Vivian Hoffman Had Been Charged With Criminal Assault on Woman.
Tragedy of the grimest kind has stabbed into the happy married life of Mrs. Mabel Hoffman, 202 West 146th street.
Three weeks ago her husband, Vivian Hoffman, 25, was arranged in the Hights Court and was held in $4,500 ball on the complaint of Mrs. Bertha Levitt, 25, 2312 Seventh avenue, who said that Hoffman had attempted an indecent assault on her in the rear of his shop at 202 West 146th street.
Mrs. Levitt further said in her complaint that she had called on Hoffman with regard to some atment and that he had enlisted the lower part of her body with some concession in the presence of another woman. Later when she went there at another time alone he attacked her, she sore.
The charge probed on his mind Monday night might not want in a furnished room in 2004 Madison avenue and turned on the gas. Tuesday morning his body was found by Dollyman Herran, who forced the door of the gas-filled room and found him with one end of a gas tube in his mouth. Dr. Curzle of Hazlen Hospital was summoned and pronounced him dead. The
4,1,43
body was taken to the morgue,
where his wife found him.
On a table in the room in which Hoffman took his life was a note, which read.
"Please notify my darling wife, Mabel Hoffman, 502 West 146th street, that I am gone forever."
Mrs. Hoffman is prostrated with grief. She declared that her husband was the victim of a plot. She says that she was in and out of the shop most of the time, as well as customers coming and going; here she could not see how he could have committed such an assault without someone hearing of it.
Hoffman was a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products which he sold in his own place. He also carried roots and herbs. He was well known in the neighborhood and was respected and highly spoken of.
Sunday he was buried at Woollawn Cemetery. He belonged to the Order of Good Samaritans and was a native of Jamaica, W. I.

Drink Water to Help Wash Out Kidney Poison
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Begin...
Taking Salts
---
When your kidneys hurt, and your back feels sore don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excrete the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which helps to remove the body's urinary waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 21 hours they strain from it 100 grams of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys intact.
Drink less of good water—you won't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four times of盐 and salt; take a table-spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning; for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with fithis, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they are no longer a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Satte is inexpensive; cannot impure; makes a delightful offer; presents lithium-water drink, when everyone should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what because of your kidney trouble and backache. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys twice a year.

RUNS WILD ALONG 3RD RAIL OF SUBWAY
Demented De Witt Clinton High School Lad Divested of Clothing Finally Caught at 110th Street Station.
Starting at the 135th street station Summer Levy, 19, track runner of De Witt Clinton High School, sped naked Sunday night along the tracks of the Lemox avenue subway. He outsped his pursuers until he reached the 10th street station where he was captured after a struggle and taken to the West 123d street station for transfer later to the psychopathic ward at Bellevue Hospital. Levy chose 5 o'clock when the subway station platforming in Harlem were crowded with Sunday night pleasure seekers, to stage novel race.
Going to the 16th street station from his home, at No. 220 Seventh avenue, he climbed down on the tracks and divested himself of all his clothing. Then stopping only to put his shoes back on, he started running south along the tracks.
Four patrolmen were sent from the West 100th street police station to the 16th street subway station, while Patrolman Kiernan of the West 123d street police station raced in a taxi cab to the 16th street station of the Bronx subway.
Kiernan dashed down the steps of the station, only to be informed that Navy had filleted past a moment before.
Running up to the street, Kierran commanded another taxi cab and race to the 110th street station. Meanwhile, the four patrolmen from the 110th street police station had been working their way north through the subway tunnel toward 110th street. There the police joined forces with subway employees and prepared to meet the demented young man.
Dodge Third Rails.
A moment later Levy's form appeared in the gloom. He was still running swiftly and apparently with little effort. He darted the length of the 110th street station with the police and subway employees making frantic efforts to stop him as they plied their way glearly over the third rails. A little south of 110th street they finally succeeded in stopping Levy and overcome him after a struggle and took him to the dispatcher's office.
was autumned and he took Levy in an ambulance to the West 123d street police station. Levy's elder brother, Edward, told police he had noticed his brother acting queerly several days.
Harlem Physician Charged Man $5
(Continued from Page 1.)
was no policeman on the ambulance. A policeman had been sent to the Wilson home, but he got there after the ambulance left.
Meanwhile, the 90-year-old man's bruises were dressed and he was told to come back the next day. Friday, for an X-ray. This was done and on Saturday Mrs. Wilson sent a bolder, Jim Barber, to the hospital to find out the result of the negatives.
At the hospital Barber saw the admitting physician, Dr. Aaron Levinsky, of 54 West 113th street, who, according to Barber, told him he would call at the home later.
About noon Saturday Dr. Levinsky called at the 133d street address and, according to the old man's wife, his daughter and Barber, said that he had been sent there from the Harlem Hospital to treat Mr. Wilson. After dressing the aged man's bruises, he stated that the charge was $5, to their great surprise. Mrs. Wilson paid the fee, she said, under protest, and the daughter, Mrs. Rosetta Hartpole, demanded a receipt, which the physician gave on a scrap of paper which in 'no way mentioned the hospital he said had sent him to the home Dr. Levinsky then left stating that he would call again Monday.
Meanwhile, The Amsterdam News heard of the case and sent a reporter Monday morning to the Wilson's, Dr. Levinsky and the Harlem Hospital superintendent. As he had promised, Dr. Levinsky called on Mr. Wilson on Monday, but his services were refused because they could ill afford to pay $5 per visit, when their own physician charged them only $2 and when few doctors in Harlem charged over $3. Somewhat disgruntled, they said the doctor left the house. The hospital superintendent told the reporter that while it is a crime to demand a fee for services rendered inside the hospital, he had no jurisdiction, over the spare time of the physicians. Dr. Levinsky claims that he asked the aged deman if he wanted him to treat him at his home and he told him 'yes. This they all deny, stating thus as no time was Dr. Levinsky to call and that when he came he said he was sent there by the hospital. Harlem Hospital has been under fire for several years because of alleged gross discriminations practiced in the appointment of internes, which posts are denied Negro physicians except in the outpatient department.

SOUTH ORANGE, N. J. Feb. 2.—When Russell] Evans of No. 736 Clinton avenue, Newark, left a restaurant at No. 5 South Orange avenue, after an argument with the proprietor, he said, according to the police to-day, that he would "get even."
About five minutes later, the police say, he returned with a 48-calline revolver. At the sight of the menacing weapon, proprietor, patrons and waiters fled, leaving Evans in full possession of the premises. Then, according to the police, he proceeded to get his revenge by breaking dishes, hurling bottles of ketchup at the walls and wreaking general havoc.
As Evans left, he turned to view his alleged handiwork and, apparently dissatisfied, entrust his life through the plate glass window, inflicting a painful gash on his arm.

Colored Men to Run Open Air Boxing Arena at N. Y. Oval Commencing May
Cecil Carter, Well Known as a Member of the Former Spartan Field Club and as a Promoter, to Act as Manager for Club With Seating Capacity of Over 12,000—Application to Be Made to Commission.
A sensational bit of news that will be read with welcome by a large number of colored people and with much alarm by a number of whites, is the announcement of a new open air arena to stage boxing bouts which will open at the New York Oval if plans now being perfected, backed by some of our well-known business men, should go through. The New York Oval is located right across the 19th street bridge, and is easy of access from all parts of the city, particularly that part of Harlem occupied entirely by colored people. We understand that Cecil Carter, well known officer of the former Spartan Field Club, and a professor of amusement ventures, will act in the casetty as a go
Improvements to the grounds are planned and it is said they will be ready the first part of May. Application has been made to the New York Athletic Commission for a permit to run weekly shows at the royal and bouts will be offered at popular prices. Cecil Carter now has a lease on behalf of the syndicate behind the big venture for all events including Saturdays and holidays, a lease which will run from the 1st of May to the 30th of September.
o far colored men have steered clear of the boxing field from a promotion standpoint and it was only when George Moore, who managed Danny Edwards and a number of other fighters, entertained the thought of attempting to operate a big fight club that colored people for the first time would be represented in this form of entertainment. The move is a big one as there are vast possibilities opened to the promoters, provided they surround themselves with those who can boast a good knowledge of action game.

February 6, to meet the Majesties at St. Mark's Hall in what should be a most interesting game of basketball. The cubs are coming charged up to take the scalps of the New Yorkers and as they are no strangers to St. Mark's Hall the going will be hard as the local players are bent on stopping the winning streak of the New Jersey players.
The preliminary game will bring together the Suncrest Five and the players representing the Imperial Eiks. This game should also be an interesting clash. There will be music and dancing and fans are asked to be on hand early as the games will start on time.

Now a Big Card Among the Leading White Teams Harold Mayers Coming in for Big Share of Attention.
The coming Sunday night the boys of the Renaissance big Fire will face the Pateron All Stars at the Renaissance Casino in a game which should draw lovers of good basketball from all over Greater New York and New Jersey.

The game was tied at 26 all at the end of regulation time and the team led on an extra five minutes period. In the short space of time the team was out of the game but with no loss. Ricketts made the final decision on the outcome of the game.

Legion Five Now on Their Third Annual Tour
Players Booked Up to March 20th in Games All Over the Country—Clarke Still Manager.
New York, Feb. 2.—(PNS) Never in the history of colored basketball has a team taken the country by storm as has the famous New York Legion Five under the management of Jap Clarke, one of America's cleverest basketball managers. The Legion Five are now on their third annual tour through the South and West.
According to records the longest tour ever taken by a basketball team, white or black, was the tour taken by the old New York Nationals, formerly the Parsons Big Five, a white aggregation from New York City. This club played on the road for five weeks straight. The Legion Five is out to surpass this record and all indications point that they will do so. Leaving New York on January 11, the club is booked up to and including March 20, a period of over two months. Very few people know this sort of stunt every year. The famous Legions have done more to promote basketball among our boys throughout the country than most of the so-called "Big Colored Teams" put together.
In communities like Padurah, Ky.; Hopkinsville, Ky.; Owenston, Ky.; Winchester, Ky.; Paris, Ky.; Cairo, Ill.; Mt. Pleasant, Penn.; Oxford, O., etc., where basketball is in its infancy the Legion's annual appearance in these and other towns of their size has given great impetus and a new cost to the spirit of the game in the various local communities. Intersectional games are usually more largely attended than local contests. When New York plays in Padurah, Ky., every available space in the hall is filled long before game time. This applies to practically all the small towns.
Last year the Leagues, with Pat Harrigan, Hacker Rhone, Simu Stewart, Johnny Yates, Elmo Nellthrop and manager, Jap Clarke, traveled 2,200 miles through 22 cities playing before over 20,000 spectators. This season only Pat Harrigan remains on the team with Manager Clarke; the other players are such notables as Ayres Sath, Cliff Perry, Clarences Spencer, and Walter Epps.

Jealousy Throws Shady Rest Golf Club Into Turmoil at Recent Election
New Yorkers, Headed by Henry Parker, Saved Club When Mortgages Were About to Be Foreclosed and Now New Jerseyites Feel That New Yorkers Are Taking Too Prominent a Part in Affairs of Organization.
Vice-Chancellor Foster, of Newark, has named M. Case well Heine official arbiter to determine whether New York or New Jersey Negroes are in harmful control of the Shady Ress Golf Club at Westfield, N. J., which has two sets of officers growing out of the recent annual election.
Henry Clay Parker, a real estate broker of Harlem, and George F. Bates, Grand Secretary of the Negro Elks, who lives in Newark, are claimants for the Presidency. Each has served a term. Parker, elected in 1924, was a candidate to succeed himself.
On the night of the election two tickets were put in the field. Bates, for another election has not been headed one and Parker the other.
New Jerseyites were the principal Mr. Parker charges his oppo supporters of Bates, while Parker contests with being jealous of the was backed by New York men. New York group and the successors and a few from the neighbor-bleved since 1923. "When we the State
Bates wanted the election decided by a vivi vote vote. Parker voted a vote of stockholders, the latter having in his possession the prxica of New York members who owned large blocks of stock. The Bates faction, numerically stronger insisted on counting noses and claimed victory. Parker, who was in the chair, proclaimed the procedure illegal and his adherents held another election, at which a member's voting strength depended on the number of shares owned. With the attails of the club becoming hopelessly involved when two sets of officers sought to assume active management, Vice-Chancellor Foster was called on to adjudicate the differences. He suggested another election be held under supervision of a special master in chancery, and when the attorneys for both sides agreed, M.

Mr. Parker charges his opponents with being jealous of the New York group and the success achieved since 1923.

Heavy Schedule for Crack Superior Basketball Club During February
Will Attempt to Stop Famous Parish House Players at Labor Lyceum on February 26th.
the management of the Superior Club, Inc., announces a taxing schedule for the undergraduate "Lightning Five" during February.
Besides their regular weekly practice games, the Brooklyn team will cross to "Skeeter Land" on Feb. 12, and play a return game at Columbia Hall with the Independents of Jersey City.
Sunday, Feb. 15, the St. Lucy Catholic Club, one of the leading white quintets of the Borough, will entertain the "Soup Five" at St. Lucy's Hall. Myrtle and Franklin avenues, Brooklyn, in a matineau cilt.
Thursday evening, February 26, the fans will witness one of the most extraordinary contests staged in many a decade, when the famous St. Christopher Club's Red and Black machine meets the Superior Lightning Five at Labor Lyceum, Brooklyn.
Games are also pending on other dates in this month and in March with the Lewis Big Five of Jersey City, Yonkers Tyzars of Yonkers, Athletes of Plainfield and the Nittens of East Orange.
While the return game with the Jersey City Independents (whom the Lightning Five defeated by 3 points early this season) will be a hotly contested affair, the season's tidbit will be the superior versus St. Christopher clash in Brooklyn. This game will not only bring together these two undefeated teams, but will mark the reopening of those thrilling interborough classes and will jam Labor-Lyceum to capacity. The old dispute as to which is the better team has been in fall away for some time and is assuming white heat as the date approach.
The fortunes of these two teams from now will bear close watching, as the early reality the necessity of jumping the jump, winning that first goal, and will play all interwining contests with the major purpose of perfecting their play and attaining the best form for the fifth.
Looking over the season's records and considering the class shown by both teams, we believe that the difference between defeat and victory will not exceed five points and that the winner will be surely pursued until the next season before the final question lights up the season's grid.

Attempt Being Made to Match Bell and Villa
Crack Colored Fighter Saya He Will Leave the Philippines Latter Part of February
The mail coming in from the Philippine Islands brought us word from Anselm Bell, better known to the pugilistic world as "Kid Buller"; also a number of snapshots taken by the popular little pugilist who will most likely make his first appearance at the Commonwealth Sport Club as soon as he arrives from his trip abroad.
At the time that Bell wrote plans were being made to match him with Pancho Villa, but he insisted that the weights should be 118 pounds. Anselm was given the glad hand of welcome by both Villa and Flores, who introduced him to the newspapermen.
Bell states that he finds the weather exceedingly hot in Manila and will be glad to pull up stakes as there isn't much money in sight for pugilists of his ability. Through the columns of the Amsterdam News he has been kept advised of the trend in sports here and seems to be in a hurry to return as he is of the opinion that a few fights at the Commonwealth will give him a chance at bigger money at the garden.
One day Jack Dempsey has retired and the next he has not retired.
When things look good for a match with Tom Gibbons Jack is ready to defend his championship, but the moment it looks as if he will be forced to meet Harry Wills he decides that fighting is no business.
Resorting to all the tricks in and out of the game both Dempsey and Kearns are trying to stage another circus with Tom Gibbons. It was a knowing sport writer on one of the dailies who said last week that Sullivan had his Jackson, Jeffries had his Johnson and now poor Jack Dempsey has his Wills.
Jeas McMahon developed Bobby Risden and a number of colored fighters and is being rewarded by witnessing a sell-out most Saturday nights at the Commonwealth. In fact, Jess seems to have a corner on the best matches in the city at the smaller clubs and could do well twice a week if the Boxing Fathers allowed it.
Last Summer our good friend William Clarke, of the New York Age, acted as press agent for the Lincoln Giants. We believe the same thing will hold good for the coming Summer. We now rise to ask why in the name of all that's holy Clarke fails to function when he has some news about the Lincoln Giants. We believe it to be the duty of a press agent to hand around the news instead of keeping it under cover. There are a number of people reading these columns. Friend Jim Keenan, please take note.
Theophilus Lewis, in the current issue of the Messenger Magazine, suggests that the Ethiopian Art Theatre stage a number of their plays in the auditorium of the Young Women's Christian Association and by such means work into the good graces of the people who will eventually support the venture by a better knowledge of what the good people behind the venture are aiming to do. We second the motion for we are of the opinion that under the present conditions the Ethiopian Art will never receive the support of which it is worthy.
In the first place, the success of a thing of this kind must come from the race. Our people must feel the urge for it like the people of other races. But under the conditions success might be made in spite of prejudice because of. Anything of this kind that must depend on distance to draw the people will find the going extremely difficult. It is caused for deep affect that such splendid things like a little theatre cannot be supported in a community of over six hundred and fifty thousand colored people. Money is carelessly thrown to the four corners of the earth by our people for things less worthy and we are forced to ask, if the time is not yet ripe to wake up to such things, when will it be?
The better class of colored people with a serious turn of mind are still trying to find out why the drama failed. Truly it cannot be said that it was because we did not have dramas written and staged by colored people. As a novelty the drama as acted by colored artists found support for a time at the Lafayette Theatre, and Robert Levy had just started to attempt to dig up "race plays" when the novelty were off. Spasmodic attempts have been made from time to time for a revival, but we cannot say that success has been the reward of those making the attempts. As a people we are still demanding a lighter form of entertainment and while the learned minds tell us that we have reached as far as we have because of being able to laugh, we are still of the opinion that as a race we need to be a little more serious to grasp the deeper things of life.

Tiger Flowers in Early Visit to Old Friends
Will Meet Jackie Clarke at the Commonwealth Sport Club Saturday Night, February 14th.
Old friends of Tiger Flowers who have so faithfully followed the fortunes of the Atlanta Sensation will get a chance to again see him in action at the club where he made his first appearance in Greater New York and the club which gave him his chance for recognition in the roped arena.
Flowers, ever since his defeat at the hands of Jack Delaney, has been making good by stopping his opponents and recently stopped Tommy Robison, one of the best fighters in the country today.
The Tiger has been matched to meet Jackie Clarke, the same Jackie who defeated Jack Delaney, and the bout should draw one of the best houses that ever turned out to see a boxing match as the Tiger will be facing the boy who won from the same man, who recently put the sleep putin to the Tiger.
In bringing Flowers here at this time, Jess McMahon is continuing his policy of giving all fight fans a run for their money. Again we repeat that it would do many matchmakers in these diggings a great deal of good to follow the methods of the popular Jesus if they want the fans to turn out in large numbers to their various houses of swat.
We believe that we can take it upon ourselves to predict that another card of thrills awaits the faithful fight fans at the Commonwealth Sport Club this coming Saturday night. Matchmaker Jess McMahon has arranged a "bill of action" it would do the majority of matchmakers well to look over. In three tens, one six and one four, Jess has packed enough action to satisfy the most exacting follower of the game, and we look to see the boys hanging to the rafters as they did last Saturday night when the works started and Peter Prunty had sent the hopefuls on their way to fame, name and the money.
One of the most important tens for the coming Saturday night will introduce elongated Al Brown and Terry Miller. You will all remember that Miller is the lad who sent Bushy Graham to the floor for the count in their last fight and the same boy who has met and defeated Henry Catena. Tommy Milton, Izzy Sawartz and many of the other boys in his division with any claim to prominence.
Brown will have to step some to cop a victory over Miller as he is one of the best boys at his weight now performing in this part of the country. Another big ten will bring together popular little Jimmie Russo and Ruby Bradley, colored flyweight sensation of New England. Bradley is known all over the New England states as "Dark Cloud" and comes to the Commonwealth with a reputation Russo will find it hard to overcome. Eddie Flank and Al Felder will appear in another ten and this rounds out three tens full of promise for a most pleasant evening by the fans at the Commonwealth. The early birds flocking to the club to roost in points of vantage had better be up and doing as another sell out will be the result of this week's card.
In the six rounder Ritchie Martin will book up with Larry Roach and the opening four will see George Cuneo and Ivan Hawes in action. It takes a good one to stop Ivan from smiling, but Cuneo says he will wipe the smile from off Ivan's mug early. Ivan disreges and this is where the fans get the benefit as they will see both boys trying to prove the "post predictions."
Risden Scared Billy Fitzsimmons Saturday Night
Powell and Horrorolou in Hard Bout—"Santy Claus" Hung It Exceedingly Heavy on Rocco.
When Billy Fitzsimmons signed contracts to Bobby Riden. Bill felt that he stood as fine a chance with Bobby as any boy in the game, but last Saturday night when the time had arrived for him to go through with said contracts Billy was scared stiff and acted accordingly when he faced Riden. The result was an easy win for Riden as he had to do all the fighting with Bill's only plan of battle being to do his durest in keeping away from a haymaker. In this he succeeded as he was holding when he wasn't running. His performance was most unsatisfactory and one wonders how he managed to win a decision over Jack Bernstein.
The first fight that contained the thrills so dear to the heart of the static fan was that between Willie Powell and the Frenchman, Hortolou. These fighters met before and made their engagement so interesting Matchmaker Jess McMahon brought them back for a return engagement and it was a wow. Pile driver blows were exchanged by both parties and the going was exceedingly rough. The Frenchman is a most willing fighter and for the first half of the fight
niz
plied into Powell whom he found just as willing and that made the fight what it turned out to be—one of the most lustful of the season.
At the conclusion a draw was the decision and a most popular one. At return engagement would meet a warm welcome at the hands of Mr. McMahon's customers. The other ten lived up to expectations in that our old friend "Santy Claus," better known as Stanislaus Loyan, proved to the assembled gathering that his first victory over Johnny Rocco was no fluke.
Stanislaus found Rocco a most determined foe, with Johnny dancing with him and trying to use the same style of the Chilean. But it was no good. "Stan" was better than in the first fight and on three occasions came within an eyeball of sending Johnny to the canvas for the count.
The South American fought a great fight and had Rocco wounded half the time. Rocco tried hard to withstand the tide of defeat while kept rolling towards him in every round but Loayza was too much hurt him and the decision giving the fight was received with great applause.
Larry Estridge Buyer
Jack Dougherty President Southpaw and Gives it the Writer Some Information on Larry.
We ran into Jack Dourkoff in Manhattan Casino last Thursday night and Jack, after greeting about every other fan, managed to fighter that came into the building, eased over and gave us an interesting earlent anent the activities of his great southpaw mitt pumkey Larry Katridge.
Jack seems to be very proud of Larry. During the course of the conversation on things pumkey Jack informed us that Larry has just purchased a beautiful home at 176th street, for which the purchase price is twenty-three thousand dollars.
The place is a two story dwelling and from now on Larry will not have any garage fees to pay as he has his own on a most spacious lot on which the house stands. In spite of the fact that Larry's left hand has been the devastating instrument that brought him to the fire, Dourkoff says that a left hand isn't so good in the long run.
From plans which Larry's manager has been perfecting, we expect soon to see Larry assuming another pose in the ring an Jack swears that he is going to make his southpaw into a perfectly good right hander. Jack says that Larry will be seen in action at the big places a little more oftener from now on as Tex Rickard has found out that big mixed bouts paid. Estridge sold four thousand dollars worth of tickets for his first big mill in the garden and the second time he sold two thousand dollars worth.

THERE'S CONFUSION IN PHILADELPHIA
J. A. JACKSON, in "The Billboard." Confusion prevails in Philadelphia, if one is to judge by the conflicting rumors, press releases and interviews that emanate from that town concerning a theatre and its attractions. One is still more confused when a serious attempt is made to reconcile the "hope" handed out with the facts at hand.

Some time ago the Quaker City newspapers were all given a story to the effect that a certain attraction was being guaranteed a huge sum for a month's engagement. Four sets of figures were submitted to editors. If a fellow would not fall for one he could take the other. Almost all of them were figures beyond reason to one who knew the theatre and its patronage. Last week the same management dickered with the manager of "The Dermi-Virgin" for the presentation of that show in Philadelphia. Negotiations were about concluded and the press representative the house went to New York to look over the show for the entitlement.
The intimate purpose of selling materials for press copy. As a matter of fact, it seems that he was otherwise occupied with writing for which Manager Hale of The Deep-Virgin Company Butler's Group would bill as expense money.
It may be only a coincidence that from Tuesday (the trip was made Monday, January 19), until Saturday the members of the company were individually the recipients of many telephone calls from Philadelphia. Just two weeks prior the same troupe had almost been disrupted by a number of its original cast going to a show that was to play the Philadelphia house "until the close of the season". The season closed after one performance.
Meanwhile the press agent of the theatre, which, by the way, has been dark much of the time this season, provides the following story to a representative of the Page:
"It is the intention of the management to place an exceptionally fine company of Race artisans before the public in 'The Bat,' The White Sister, 'The Fool,' the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and 'Experience.' The cast includes Evelyn Prear, Eddie Thompson, Shinie Howard, Babe Townsend, Abe DeCoom there, Mother Williams, Charles Olden, Rupert Marks, Alonzo Fenderon, Evelyn Mason, Rudolph Gray, Marion Tayler, Harry Plater, Eddie Lewis Thompson, Alenzo Jackson, Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Dowman."
That all sounds very fine if one does not try to verify it. Four of the people named were members at the time of the Shanberger Demi-Virgin Company, and were busy with the script of "Getting Gertle's Garter," which was scheduled as the second production that Director Holland of that company was to put on with his company in the house under discussion. These same people were the recipients of the 'phone calls heretofore mentioned.
When these facts became known to Mr. Holland and William Hale, manager of the Shanberger company, they promptly discontinued negotiations with the theatre management and closed the show at the Lafayette Theatre, New York, and shipped the scenery and properties to Baltimore for storage.
Kirkpatrick and Bowman are with the Andrew Bishop Company, which played the Roosevelt Theatre, Cincinnati, last week, when the big company was to be opening in Philadelphia. So contented were they with their association on the week previous, while the company played Indianapolis, which is their home town, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick (Laura Bowman) entertained the whole company in their home.
As to Miss Preer and her husband, Edward Thompson, costars in Mr. Bishop's No. 2 company, touring the T. G. B. A. under the direction of President Milton B. Starr, we quote from a letter from Mr. Starr that came in response to a wired inquiry: "I wish to advise that the Bishop Company No. 2 starring Miss Preer, has no intention of joining McEntes. This company has had an unprecedented run which started in October, 1923, and at the present time has a tentative route of six months in advance. I have been advised that all members of this company have received offers in the past few days from Philadelphia. I am also advised that these offers have been refused." The Mr. McEntes referred to is the stage director in charge of the company for the house. The letter is dated January 17. This publication strives to co-operate with the show and theatre management in the disseminating of the news of the profession. We currently endeavor to serve all without favor or prejudice to any interest, but we decline to be made the tool for the broadcasting of such publicity bunt' as has come to us from the theatre referred to. Men and their methods differ. It is not for us to sit in judgment as to which is best, but we can exercise every precaution against being made the dupe of the bunksters. When a management declines to guarantee $1,400 to a drawing attraction for a house that costs nearly a half million dollars how may the profession be expected to swallow a story to the effect that the same management is going to assume responsibility for a payroll such as in indicated in the list of artists named in the publicity sheet quoted? That cast would be worth going miles to review.
The press agent some time ago was bewailing the fact that local papers were not using his copy. Philadelphia evidently has smart editors.

Smart Set Minstrels to Entertain Harlemites After Successful Run at the Howard Theatre
Stamp of Approval Placed on Show by Owner of Well Known Washington House Who Informed the Writer That It Is His Intention to Again Use the Outfit After the Big New York Engagement.
The Herculean task of securing seasonable entertainment for the colored people is a big one. We think that the management of the Lafayette Theatre will agree with us in this opinion. Time after time what has been considered entertainment of the highest kind met with only a lukewarm response at the hands of our public and on more than one occasion those charged with the duty of securing attractions have been hard to find what they think will please our public.
Musical comedy shows are hard to get; and a few of those that have found favor on Broadway will under no circumstances play the Lafayette. Of course, among certain of the leading stars who are most set against playing the Lafayette after their successful Broadway showings can be found those who DID PLAY the same house at time it is a minstrel show. The Smart Set Minstrel will arrive at the city ground, by these nice things said of them whatever they have appeared and from what we can gather, the entertainment is most wholesome. containing many surprises that will readily appeal even to the exasperating.
Along the line of minutelaye the Negro has done much in days gone by to furnish entertainment which the whites roon saw the possibilities in and gave to the world their own Duckstader. Primrose, and others whose names adorn the theatrical hall, of fame via a form of amusement at which we should still be adept. With this in mind we will expect much from the highly touted minutelaye troupe making its first appearance at the Lafayette Theatre next Monday night for a week's showing.

Musical comedy shows are hard to get; and a few of those that have found favor on Broadway will under no circumstances play the playette. Of course, among certain of the leading stars who are most set against playing the Laffette after their successful Broadway showings can be found those who DID PLAY the same house at same time or other in their career. Be that as it may, we still and the management of the local house, along with all other big artists caring to colored people at their will end to find productions guaranteed to appeal to the taste of the colored element in this city and that they have been made to dig up fairly good entertainment from time to time is to their credit when the condition on under which they labor is taken into consideration.
The Lafayette this week is offering "Getting Gertie" a garter, a force which when first produced found favor on Broadway. The show comes to us with a few people in the cast well known to the theatre-goers here and from what they did in "The Demi-Virgin" we see no reason why they should not repeat in the present show, although we must admit that the Monday night performance was somewhat ingested. A promoter's voice instantly coming from the wings far from leads to the attractiveness of any production, but we feel that even this will be remedied.
The coming week will find another form of entertainment which should appeal to those seeking a change from the sameness so evident in the majority of the musical offerings, be they cabaret or big musical comedy productions. This

THE RED LILY BEST THRILLER OF LATE FILMS
Fred Niblo Has Produced Picture With Highly Absorbing Story
The climax of Fred Niblo's "The Red Lily," the Metro-Goldwyn picture which opens at the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday, comes when the hero of the story, played by Ramon Novarro, recognizes a woman who has brought him in from the street as his own lost sweetheart, Marise, whom he has sought for years. Findling her unfaithful, he strikes her down with his fist in a spasm of fury and anguish; and what happens thereafter concludes one of the most deeply stirring tales ever told on the screen.
The story is laid, for the most part, in the Parisian underworld. The boy's father, in a Brittany village, has disinherited his son on learning of the boy's love for Marise, the daughter of a humble shoemaker. The pair flee to Paris to marry, are separated by peculiar circumstances, and thrust alone upon the city.
Go to the Oregs.
Marine becomes first a waltress, then a scrubwoman, and finally gives herself up in despair to the underworld. Meanwhile Jean for a time keeps his self-esteem, but eventually loses it also and turns thief.

The dance-loving and jazz-crazy public should reach the zenith of their merry careers on the evening of February 13, for on that evening at New Star Casino the "Three Joymakers" have arranged a dance program that, in the vernacular of the street, "abould knock 'em dead."
To secure the services of one of the protest jazz orchestras in America for an evening of merriment is something to talk about, but to give their patrons an evening with the two foremost colored musical organisations in the country furnishing the symphonic jazz for their nimble feet is a bit of a sensation.
In presenting Happy Rhone and his wonderful 'combination of jazz artists and Pietro Heckerson and his great 'Roseland orchestra on the same evening for the gratification of their loyal patrons, the "Three Joymakers," O'Savior Beatrizze, Eugene Rhodes and Andrew Boyd, have without a doubt created the greatest dance sensation ever promoted by any group.
There is no question about these two orchestras being the foremost in the land. Proof of this is the fact that the Rhone outfit was among those chosen to entertain for the Prince of Wales while he was in this country, and nothing short of the best was thought of
by the entertainers of His Real Highness. It will be somewhere of a novelty—dancing to the ideal strains that carried the popstar Prince through many rounds of enjoyment.
Proof of Fletcher Henderson and his Roseland orchestra's greediness is the fact that they enter nightly at the Roseland Ballroom, known to be among the finest and most exclusive ballrooms in America.
It would be unfair to the propriets of this great affair if a weed were not said regarding them too much space cannot be taken is the praise of the "Three Joymakers", who, as the dance public knows, have conducted some of the most enjoyable feature dances, over a period of five years, that have ever been given in or around New York City. More real fun is crowded into one hour at their dances than is ordinarily experienced at two or three other affairs combined. From the standpoint of entertainment and socially the Joymakers lead all others. This dance is sure to be on a par with those of the past.
Three to four thousand people are expected to hear these two great units on the night of February 13, and it is advisable to be on hand easily to avoid the rush.
Layton's Mother Reports Dying at Nation's Capit
Musician Winning Laurels is Europe but Might Hasten Home Upon Receipt of News.
A despatch from Washington, D. C., which came to this office of Monday brought the information that Mrs. Julia Mason Layton mother of Turner Layton, is dying at her home.
The son went to Europe some time ago after dissolving a partnership with Henry Creamer, and from the reports coming from the other side, has been meeting with a great deal of success.
The news of his mother's serious illness will most likely bring young Layton back. He is the son of John T. Layton, basso profundo and director of music in the high schools of Washington. Mrs Layton is known to thousands of our boys who were in the American Expeditionary Forces by reason of her relief work doing the war. She was also a prominent social worker

Flays Teaching of Dancing in Schools
WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 2.—"Polk dances taught our little children in the public schools are not free from dangerous and hurtht tendencies." declared Dr. Walden in an address to a local ministerial association last Friday afternoon. "The high kick, displaying bare legs and arms of our little girls in the presence of even small boys, cannot honestly be said to tend to beget in these children the highest sense of modesty, purity, so greatly prized in our women. Folk dancing engenders in young children a desire for a dance that is more exciting," he continued.
"The folk dances become the way and door to the dancing school; the dancing school is the feeder to the dance hall and public ballroom; and these in turn lead to the brothel, the drinking places and gambling dens. Statistics show that from one-third to two-thirds of the prostitutes in our large cities come from the public dance hall and ballrooms.
"A somewhat careful investigation by myself and other ministers of the attendants at the public dance halls in this city on Saturday afternoons and holidays reveals the fact that by far the large majority of female participants at these places, and at these times, are young girls between the ages of 13 and 15—presumably school girls—and that their male partners in the dances are, in most cases, men ranging in age from $50 to 60; and if we are to judge from the appearance and conduct of the majority of these men they are anything but decent.
"Dance balls and attendance thereupon in this city are on the increase and the conditions surrounding most of these places and the conduct of those who frequent them are growing morally worse each year. Something must be done to eventually put dancing out of the public schools—an inducement to evil practices and evil thinking."
COPPIN'S WIDOW RESUMES PRACTICE

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unightly simplex on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25¢ at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO BEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

Y. W. C. A. Notes
The Educational Department is offering some rather unusual opportunities to women and girls in the new classes opening in February. One of the most interesting of these classes is the course in interior decoration. Mr. Edwards who is instructing, is an experienced designer and decorator. He promotes a school and shop in the downtown business district and offers a reasonable assurance of employment to girls who show a special aptitude for this type of work. The course is also planned to be of special help to home-makers and the fee is very small, only $4 a month. The term extends from February 5 to May 28, meeting on every Thursday from 8 to 10 p.m.
Another class, which will probably prove to be generally appealing, is that in sewing for, mothers, which will meet on Wednesday afternoons from 2 to 4. under the direction of Mrs. Allon Graves. Emphasis will be placed on the making of children's clothes. From February 10 to April 14, there will be a class, in public speaking and parliamentary law of special interest to club women, social workers, etc. The class will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5 to 9.20. Interest continues to run high in the Charm School. On last Thursday Mrs. Lauren Rollock, of

He was graduated from the Teachers College at Howard University in 1915. B. S. with a bachelor's diploma in Education, having maintained a high rank in his class. His college career was brilliant. Aside from an excellent scholarship record, he won a unique honor in debating, being the first winner of the Gregory prize for the best individual debater at Howard during any one year.
In competition with the members of the Senior class, he won the English prize for using the all-round best English during several years as a student. On his graduation the faculty awarded him a scholarship of one hundred dollars at Clark University, Worcester, Mass.
Want Negro History In Public Schools
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Professor Charles H. Wesley, head of the Department of History of Howard University, at the request of the teachers of the District of Columbia, in the 10th-13th Divisions, conducted a round table at the annual Teachers' Institute held January 30th. The subject discussed was "Negro History in the Public School Curriculum."
This is the second appointment in successive years of Professor Wexley as institute lecturer. Strenuous efforts are being made by the local teachers to have the study of Negro History formally introduced into the school curriculum, preferably through specific courses, and if this should prove impracticable then by equipping the teachers so that collateral study may be conducted in this subject. The study of Negro contributions to civilization has been regarded as a valuable aid in the creation of interracial understanding and good-will, and the suggestion has been made that it would be a worthwhile effort to have such study as a part of the work in history in the schools for both races.

IN THIS COLUMN, under date of January 14, we published a brief editorial under the heading: "Yes. We Have No Alderman," which we reprint in full below:
TWO THINGS occurred last week to remind us that Harlem still has a Negro Alderman. One, the announcement that John W. Smith, Alderman of the Twenty-first District, might be asked to resign to pave the way for the re-election or appointment of Murray Hubert as President of the Board of Alderman; though, we confess, we do not know just how it was to be done. The other, the belated decision that George W. Harris was the duly elected Alderman for the term 1921 and 1922.
YES, we have no colored Alderman, for he may be asked to resign, and should. To resign would be the first important act of Mr. Smith's political career.
IN SATURDAY'S MAIL, we receive following letter, written on the official tionery of the Board of Aldermen, from William Smith, Alderman of the Twenty District:

"Woman! Why Weepest Thou?" According to recent reports, English statisticians are amazed to find out that there is hardly an English occupation or profession, formerly practiced exclusively by that has not been invaded by women. King's statistical experts say the English women are now working as undertakers, stevedores, chimney sweeps, plumbers, riveters, safemakers, gemamits, electricians, and, in fact, all the skilled and unskilled trades, as well as the professions and in the sciences.
Sour grapes! This is no new discovery no far as we are concerned. Although some of the trades and professions are new to our group, the gentle African women, after their Americanization, forced and otherwise, carried on men's work for years and years, not by invasion, but by conscription. Both before and after the Civil War, there was a coness in the daily work of Negro men and women which we are not able to eliminate. But when the colored woman began to lift the late-string of the American factory or other industrial concern, then it was that she was polished back to the "desirable" work of kitchen range and clothes lint that she venture too far from the hard-dried path to industry and sewer dependence. To her not only it is even difficult to secure certain courses in the job trade, education and even more difficult to find a friendly employer she darms to permit her to invade the occupations of white women.

to Be Recorder of Deeds." A muffed voice took up the strands of "An Artist From Hattl. San Donna go and Liberia," and a bass soloist sang, with great feeling, "I'm Govor error of the Virgin islands." And or standing by in almost breathless suspense at this wireless phenomenon, we heard shrill female voices suitable shrieking. Don't know I'm going. But I'm On My Way.
Just then a local station crowded out our long distance broadcasters, and we heard over our clicking one tube set solemn voices, which seemed to say: "What Can They Do? What Can They Do: What Can They Do to Be Recorder of Deeds?" "Good-Night" rang out before we could readjust the loud speaker.
Half sorrowfully, we started off to remember, that come on and last November's election was the greatest "thinking election" since the Civil War. And as we filled our cornbox pipe with Union Leader cut plug, we wondered if the brothers and sisters are really fainting an election postpone of deep thinking—a new political period, as it were, when the pen is mightier than the sword—when a deluge of books is more important than a deluge of words—when delivering the and takes precedence over Italian away and when, in fact, all

STILL, it is possible for one to read into some of our utterances things they do not contain, or to extract from them a spirit that is not theirs. At the time the editorial in question was written we had every reason to believe that it would be read by everyone in that same fair, though humorous, spirit in which it was written, and aside from Mr. Smith's letter, no other dissenting voice has been raised against it.
BUT, Mr. Smith, the duly elected Alderman from the Twenty-first District, does not see it that way and WE APOLOGIZE. Furthermore, to correct the false impression he feels was created in the minds of the people, we wish to remind him that the columns of The Amsterdam News are open to him to acquaint the public with his many accomplishments.
Fisk Fight Goes On
NEW YORK ALUMNI of Fiskity, whose moving spirit is Dr. W. E. Bois, editor of the Crisis Magazine, is eing its fight on Dr. Fayette McKenzie, at the university at Nashville. McKenzie resignation was demanded by the work graduates but he has shown no interest whatsoever of obeying the demand.
ALUMNI charges that the students needed to do almost nothing on their own; that they have no organization that supervised by the faculty; that the head has embraced propaganda detriment to Negroes living in the South and the truth of the situation is religiously away from the students.
TAS SECRETARY SLEMP was this desk for the last time last Monday on he was presented with a leather bag by a group of colored Republicans! Boy! What an appropriate gift, had known a traveling bag was all that keeping him in office, we would have him one long ago.

We have reported against a bill to give fedort every year to Howard University. Great school is a memorial to General O. W. who fed and clothed our people during the war, under the Freedmen's Aid Bureau, and served the idea of training our youth for up to longer lines.
It is need for expression of opinion here in support of the Crampion Bill, to which operates are opposed. The annual appropriation Howard would insure steady growth and giving to every citizen in this land interest in the preparation of our leaders for service demanded in democracy. Northern and Southern操场men on Americans are agreed that we need them. We know it and make heroic sacrifices to themselves, but a great university with ground of history and service should be for the general good of the country. And University, being supported by federal will be in position to give the highest training to the great national library, the scientific and the different departments of the Gov't with their specialists, all augmenting and menting the course in the school.
Ability of passes will be the work of each and number of the race who can forget selfish and look to the more good as did the General Howard, who also was a Hampshire which sprung Tuskegee.

JUST AS SECRETARY SLEAP was closing his desk for the last time last Monday afternoon he was presented with a leather traveling bag by a group of colored Republicans. Oh! Boy! What an appropriate gift. If we had known a traveling bag was all that was keeping him in office, we would have given him one long ago.
EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES
Why Congress Should Support Howard University
Every member of the race is interested in the issue raised by five Democrats in the House of Representatives, where we ought to have 40 of our own representatives by reason of our numerical strength. Those men have reported against a bill to give federal support every year to Howard University. This great school is a memorial to General O. O. Howard, who fed and clothed our people during the Civil War, under the Freedmen's Aid Bureau, and who conceived the idea of training our youth for leadership along higher lines.
There is need for expression of opinion here and now in support of the Crampton Bill, to which the Democrats are opposed. The annual appropriation for Howard would insure steady growth and progress, thus giving to every citizen in this land a vital interest in the preparation of our leaders for the social service demanded in a democracy.
Both Northern and Southern spokesmen on American problems are agreed that we need trained leaders. We know it and make heroic sacrifices to prepare them ourselves, but a great university with a background of history and service should be maintained for the general good of the country.
Howard University, being supported by federal money, will be in position to give the highest training at the lowest cost, and in an environment surrounded by the great national library, the scientific museums and the different departments of the government, with their specialists, all augmenting and supplementing the courses in the school.
That this bill does will be the work of each and every member of the faculty who can forget selfish interests and look to the larger good as did the founder, General Howard, who also gave Hampton, from which spring Tuskegee. We have mon cause and a common ground. We have arsenal from West Point and Annapolis, and they are supported by federal money.—Cerlaus Attucks Service

It is no wonder that the colored women may weep now and then; nor is it any wonder that she occasionally ventures far from those four virtues, "children, kitchen, clothes and church," as announced by our good friend. Prof. Kelly Miller, the Howard University mathematician. There's a reason.
Eclipsing the Eclipse
Our uneaseted contemporaries, some of the "elegant" staff reporters of the white press, were on the job during the total eclipse of the sun, visible in the New York vulture last week. They pushed pens diligently and during "rent" observations which eclipsed the eclipse, so far as "streamers" were concerned. Here is a "gum" from the pen of some "word wizard" of the Washington Times. Hearst paper, heading up at New York. (This particular "gum" was off the press, before the hour, of the "In the Negro district of Harlem, excitement was intense among the superstitious and there who actually thought the end of the world was coming."
Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Accordingly, we invite your attention to the author another white reporter, L. V. Hewlett, in the January number of the Mercury Magazine. Read Mr. Hewlett's *Illinois Africanana*, and then as between him, the Washington Times reporter, and the Harper Newspaper, decide for yourself.
"A Quaternity of K's"
"A Quaternity of K's"
Colored Women Venturing Too Far from Children, Kitchen, Clothes and Church
This formidable array—K, K, K, K—does not signify the fourth dimension of the Ku Klux Klan as the cacophonous aggregation of K's might suggest, but rather an assemblage of the essential feminine functions, according to the philosophy of the late Emperor of Germany. The deposed despot used to be fond of saying that woman should confine her energies to "Kinder, Kuche, Kleider, Kirehe," which being translated into English means, Children, Kitchen, Clothes and Church. The chief object of this proletarian policy was to produce soldiers to fight for the state and workers to feed the fighters. Under the stimulus of this idea the Germans multiplied in numbers and increased in power till she became easily the first state in Europe. On the other hand, France has followed the will of the wisp of the "sage femme" which has reduced her population to the verge of extermination. These rival countries contain about the same area. The early start and prestige were in favor of France.
A hundred years ago she had more than twice the population of Germany. But today the more prolific race has not only outstretched her sterile rival in population, but has surpassed her in every feature of material and substantial power. During the World War, France could no more have stood alone against Germany than a pigny would against a giant. Even today, if the allies should be go, the Teuton nation could master the Gaul with one hand tied behind her back. This relative superiority is undoubtedly due to the comparative freedom of the two nations.
Biggest Problem
The most fundamental problem before the human race today is the problem of the sexes. It transcends in importance the issues of race, the adjustment of capital and labor or the conflict of creeds. His woman has been treated as the inferior and subordinated sex.
Woman has been dominated and exploited for the selfish uses of the more lordly male members of the species. She has been fondled as a toy, a tool or a plaything. Man has never taken her seriously as a competitor or as a coworker. But in this progressive age the whole basis of sex relationship is being reformed. Women are now more co-educated a co-equal with man. She is fast becoming a factor to be felt in industry, education and in politics.
Woman's Place
In Nature
The biological function of the female is to bear and rear children, which, if effectively performed, will necessarily engage the chief energies of the producing sex. No scheme of philosophy or social reform can alter this basic responsibility imposed by nature from the foundation of the world of living things. Generalization of woman must always be kept within the boundary fixed by nature. Taming with the degrees of nature jeopardizes the very continuance of the human race. Anyone who stands abaft the path of the advancement of woman may rightly be called a fossil or a moss-back. One had just as well stand against the movement of the stars in their courses as try to keep woman in her traditional and accustomed man is risking his compass and peace of mind when he even ventures to discuss these things.
I have laid this broad basis for a limited superstructure. Indeed, this is the penalty which I am constantly paying for being black. I find myself in possession of a world mind limited to special racial enclosures. When I would say a universal theme, I am soon reminded of the narrowness of its application. And so I must not now discuss the subject of sex in its general hearing upon human welfare, must limit the thesis to the special situation of the Negro race. Just as the sex problem is the greatest question which engages the racial mankind, so it is of the racial community now under discussion.
The Negro woman laborers under the double disadvantage of belonging to the weaker sex and to the weaker race. Her status and its betterment therefore them in a medium of deepest social concern. Her progress has been marvelous, whether measured from the starting point or by the high place which she has attained in our social scheme. Indeed, no raid has been her advancement along the line of general progressive movement that we have neglected the inquiry as to how far she has failed in the essential function of motherhood. Whatever other statement the men may achieve it will all be so be her usual result of virtue to them.
is failure in this high and holy function. The time has come for Negro statesmanship to study carefully, and to think soberly upon these things.
Births Decreasing
Several years ago I undertook a study in eugenics, based upon the 55 colored members of the Howard University faculty in the families from which these were derived there were 355 children, or an average of 6.5 children.
On the other hand, these 55 teachers so far have contributed 37 children or an average of 7.7 of a child for each potential family. Twenty-two were married and 33 single. The number of children to each family, so far formed, was 1.6. Four of the families were born, and four had one child each. The average age of the single members was over 32 years, which clearly indicated that even if they should subsequently marry their offspring would be few.
From a wide acquaintance with the upper section of the Negro race under a variety of circumstances and conditions, I am fully persuaded that the Howard University group is typical of the like element throughout the race so far as secondality is concerned. A study of the teachers in the public schools of Washington, the physicians, lawyers and other educated groups would tell the same sterile story.
Bachelors And
The teachers in the public schools are mainly women who fall to marry for economic reasons. About 10 years ago the Washington school board passed a regulation by which a female might retain her position in the schools over marriage. Since that time a great many have availed themselves of the opportunity, but the number of children resulting from such mating is practically negligible. The city of Washington is filled with barbers and old women, and endless families are astounding. One or two children constitute the average.
I wish to call upon observers in other communities to look into local situations and determine for themselves if the picture which I have painted of Washington does not also apply throughout the country. The cause is obvious. The prolonged period of education delays the development of high standard of living which the former is looking Negro feels that he is forced to observe causes still further delay. The frank endeavor to keep the pace set by the more favored race militates to the same end.
Conscious Race
The conscious purpose of race suicide also contributes somewhat to the low birth rate. There are many of sensitive and timid spirit who shirk the responsibility of parenthood because they do not wish to bring Negro children into the world with birthmark of prescriptive branding. Will this tendency which threatens the extinction of the advanced section of the race continue to operate in the future as at present? Or is it merely first effect of the first generation after slavery under the severe stress and strain of sudden readjustment? The sudden leap from the lower to the upper level of life is a social acrobatic feat that cannot be indefinitely sustainably being recruited from the bottom stratum which follows the unlicensed law of instinct. The vacuum in the upper stratum will be filled by the vigorous element pushing up from below.
The real danger lies in the fact that the self-destructive tendency will be handed down to the masses. Civil communication corrups social practice so well as road manners, in which the human race has been deceived that the human race would spread, become extinct if all women should delay menstruation so far.
Women Not To Blame
It is not manly, Adam like, to place the blame on the woman. The male sets the social standard which the female follows. If the small family or no family at all is the prevailing social mode, it is because that the male prefers it so. The whole idea is bad.
The zest for the trivilities and gayeties of the hour tends to defeat the ultimate social male who thinks in long units of time and does give ourselves to the evanescent pleasures that are born and die in a day.
The race should subject itself to serious self-examination. Are the present tendencies laying the basis for a better future or are we building on a foundation of sand? Are we preparing our girls for future motherhood or are they being abstract by self-destructive behavior? Are we high schools and colleges teaching them the things essential to home and family building? Whatever else a woman may know, her education is sadly deficient if it does not fit her for her essential function in the social scheme. Our newspapers are giving too much attention to crime, frivolous sports, expressescessions, gossip and scandal. The young people whose mind feeds on such things will have poisoned combinations. The fabric of the mind is underdetined. The jazz manners underdressed hair and hobbed dress of our young women do not promise serious future family life.
Let me forefend myself. I believe in the enlargement of the woman's sphere. I believe that superior women, equally with superior men, should have the fullest opportunity to develop and exert their higher capacity. I do not believe in the old fortuitous regime for either sex, that wars against human nature. I believe in the free play of the spirit, giving unhindered play for the outlet to the playful instincts of youth. I take little stock in the derogation these degenerate women do. I do not believe that the cut of hair or the skin dress is a coefficient of character, nor that girlish liveliness is inconsistent with womanly loveliness and worth. But I do believe with an unshakable conviction that our women are venturing too far from the four Ks—Kinder, Kuche, Kleider, Kirche.
Science Fails to Prove Superiority
Science has failed to establish the superiority of any one race over the others, and the adversity of mingling races is also a moot question. Glenn Frank, editor of Century Magazine, declared recently in an address on "Rare, Religion and Radicalism" before the League for Political Education at Town Hall. "There is no question," he said, "that there is inequality among individuals. The framers of the Federal Constitution, most of whom were slave owners, could not have believed in the literal truth of their doctrine of all men being equal. What they really meant was that they themselves and their kind were the equals of George Washington as to the races are superior, biological search has as yet proved nothing.
"Even if science should prove that some races are superior, there are always certain superior individuals in all races who will resist oppression and lead the world into a succession of bloody wars. Let the superior Americans make common own race, but rather join with the elite of other races to stamp out present-day civilis. There must be both a spiritual and a scientific approach to the solution of the race problem."
THREE GREAT AMERICANS
An article of unusual quality appears this month in "The Mouthpiece" for February, from the pen of old Henry F. Downing, who has taken over the position of editor of that magazine, beginning with the current issue.
Mr. Downing has treated his subject in a masterly fashion and has selected his "Three Great Americans" from the long list of noble characters February. George Washington the art critic Abraham Lincoln the comonster, and Frederick Douglas, the slave, are the three main features of this article.
There are also a number of articles by well-known writers.

Things That Once Were Men
Things That Once Were Men
I. OTHO GRAY
UNSEEN, unknown, in the air around us is wretchedness and despair; the desperate and tragic lives of those unhappy creatures who, after living in the body and wasting their spiritual substance, roam the world in the spirit, hideous and deformed—ghastly things that once were men. No words can express the horror and degradation of the way they live nor the utter loss of hope they experience after they get so evil they begin to fear retribution. Their mode of existence cannot be rightly understood by anyone who has not made a special study of the subject. Here are presented some of the facts about them truthfully written: nevertheless, no reader will get the full import of this, for how shall those who lean on their physical senses alone understand the dreadfulness of these things that once were men?
The spirit world surrounds our own, its lowest plane being separated from the earth by a well or integument through which no spirit is supposed to pass. The inhabitants of that plane are the sum of the spirit world and the earth from the moral filth of the earth. Here you will find repulsive things that in the earth life occupied places of advantage, but whose lives were such that after death their lot was the lowest plane, where there is suffering and monotony until they turn to the Arbiter for help.
Many of these spirits have no desire for the spiritual life and are consumed with a longing to get into contact with the physical world. The hope of advancement to a better state has no appeal for them, and they restlessly pass the time bored and miserable. The vell or integument previously mentioned seems impenetrable. Like all things, it has its rate of vibration. By concentrating the mind persistently and pointedly it is possible for a spirit to increase his rate of movement; the point where it will synchronize with the earth through which he then can easily slip and find the fair, peaceful earth lying beneath his gaze. But he cannot function upon matter of himself; he must be provided with energy from a physical source in order to establish contact. He gets this energy through several channels: by fastening upon a mortal and drawing vitality out of him; by attending senses and absorbing the strength of those present; by hovering over graves; gorging upon the substances emanating from decaying corpses; and possibly by drawing the essences out of garbage heaps, etc. These substances are impalpable to us, but are so malignant that they eat them, and it causes their hunger and nourishes their bodies, at the same time so coarsening their etherical element they may be able to handle and more physical objects.
It is with great soberness that I will now tell you some of the dangers you face when you visit seances or in any way endeavor to get into touch with spirits. It is these vile and deceiving spirits that furnish much of the trumpeter seen at spiritualistic gatherings. They have certain facilities that enable them to stage all sorts of phenomena when they can get enough energy from the clitters. It may seem impressive to the uninitiated who don't understand its mechanism, but the occultist knows the real source and value of these manifestations. These spirits can appease dangers and relatives so realistically to deceive intelligent people not familiar with their methods. The great danger of the presence of these spirits is one of the terrible risks standent upon attempting spirit communication. Bear in mind forcibly that your character and good intentions have absolutely no effect in keeping them off. If you place yourself in their way, All such attempts deal with the invisible, which is why you can never be sure that spirits of this type have not been present.
A person of exemplary character may attend a spiritualistic meeting and go home followed by an astral entity that will feed upon his strength possibly affecting the health seriously. There are thousands of these things in the air and they stay there only by robbing the living of their energy. There are many cases of continued weakness which doctors do not find it easy to account for which are due to astral parasites and their theft of vitality.
The alleged guidance of spirits is not necessary for the happiness and success of the human race on earth; seeking their help only retards their development and it keeps their mind on the physical world when they should be making efforts to go higher-upward to the blessed paradise of God. Spirit intercourse was eternally forbidden in the laws of Moses, Reed Kendall 22:18 and contract it with our horizons of mediums of every description who for some ranging from fifty cents will supply you with spirits who are past experts in driving not only the road and lake, but also carefully trained volunteers.

The things that once were men suffer terribly especially in the winter when the warm clothing of mortals serves to arouse the aggression of cold for these wretches are stark naked. This maledness is an indication that there is nothing spiritual in them. On their own plane they may fashion garments out of astral matter, but as soon as their minds go back to the earth life, their clothes fall away to dust. This is due to the peculiar physics of the spiritual world where the state of the mind determines the character of everything. As long as there are men and women in the mind who are intertwined, in spirit, whose strength will shake their ravishing hunger, no amount of suffering will prevent them breaking through the veil. These creatures are around us every day. They may be seen and heard by the clarandrient and clairvoyant who will corroborate what is stated here if they are capable developed. These spirits may materialize before you in comely shapes, but be advised they are loathsome entities animated by fearful instincts. Some of them grow into malignant beings of deadly evil. In the past they have been used in the practice of black magic. Occult writings contain some dreadful records of their doings. It is even darkly whispered they are still being stored in some portions of the slobe. They are the unhappy men and women in the spirit, who, contrary to Divine law, return to earth only to find that mortals and spirits are two types of beings and cannot orderly or happily associate; having returned they remain with grim and desperate tenacity until over taken by retribution, which brings these things that once were men to the unutterably terrible misery of hell.

Sweet Gunhill.
Oh! Sweet Gunhill, how can I forget thee?
When thou hast filled my love in heart with glee.
And all my joys are locked within thy side.
Gunhill, oh, Sweet Gunhill, the art my pride.
Upon thy summit I have spent a day.
And watched the bright sunlight dancing away.
Then on my path I saw the bright moonlight.
Which seemed to beckon through the happy night.
I heard the birds in their grass groaned past.
Sing very sweet music which lakes me to rest.
Their sweet voices echoed with great delight.
To remind me of the departing light.
Oh! Sweet Gunhill, can I forget thee?
When all thy charms and joys are always near.
And all my thoughts are wrapped in thy pride.
How can I forget there? Then art my guide.
