Colorful News "Movies" BY THE CANERAHAN Optimism Eren in Failure Fisk, Garvey, Union Laborers' Bank at Washington, Brown and Stevens Bank at Philadelphia, etc., are examples of lack of success among certain ranks of racial endanger during the past six months. However, these events are not uncommon ones. Their counterparts appear constantly among all peoples and amid all business ventures. The advent of failure is no signal for tears and weeping. Rather, it is a call for renewed confidence and the resolution to continue to press forward. It is a call for reinforced support and perseverance. If, every time a train was wrecked or a boat was sunk people ceased their intercourse via travel and transportation routes, what would become of the world's business? Discontent is a attribut of ambition. Pride is the foremost of effort. Racial business and racial men are stirring for the new emancipation—the new independence, as it were, among the peoples of the world. Failures within their ranks were long since preceded by failures within the ranks of their contemporary racial groups. When failures come, new units of business must spring up and must be supported by an intelligent people who show some knowledge of world history and racial endearer. The group of men and women who get cold feet over a temporary waiver of racial business, whether in bank, grocery store or profession, will never contribute one cubit to the stature and growth of racial endeavor. Robert Fulton was deemed an idiot for his experiments with the Clermont. Stephenson was deferred for his efforts to perfect the steam engine. Even Columbus was put in chains for his ideas of the globe. But let a Negro bank talk to a racial-monument, which the probs, and tea thousand voices would crumble our hoops and desires for the next decade.

Charges of gross color discrimination on the part of the Hurtig and Seamon Theatre, 255 West 125th Street, The Amsterdam News by J. A. Rogers, well-known author. Last week the first half of the bill was filled by white actors and the latter half by colored. The writer charges that, although the Negro actors performed so well as to elicit greater applause than the white actors, even from the white patrons themselves, yet the Negroes were jim-crowed in the worst seats. The Negro actors have also been scored for performing under the conditions said to be forced on the Negro patrons. The letter follows: February 17, 1925. Messra. Hurtig and Seamon. I visited your theatre this afternoon and was surprised to find that, even if what is supposed to be a place of amusement, you do not give one a chance to forget "the color fine." I noted that, as if by magic, the colored folk had drifted together as if they had come in a body, and in the worst seats, at that. I further observed that the colored actors were the very life of (Continued on Page 3.) Pregnant Woman Shot by Officer DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 28.—Agitation for a thorough investigation of the facts surrounding the fatal shooting of Mrs. James Smith, of 1445 Alger avenue, by a white policeman Feb. 8, is on Mr. Smith gave birth to a child a few hours before she died from the bullet fired by the officer. At the time of the affair Mr. and Mrs. Smith were riding in a truck. The policeman says that he came to Mr. Smith to halt and when he refused to halt, it is said that he deliberately shot at the car, the bullet entering Mrs. Smith's neck. Mrs. Smith was taken to Receiving Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have three other children who are left, motherless. Policeman Fred. Williams, who did the shooting, said that the car was without lights and he wished to investigate. The Smiths came here from Calvin, Ky. The baby Still lives and was taken home Tuesday. Elevator Operator Sticks to His Post in Blazing Building Portram Malone of 204 West 142d street, elevator operator in the apartment house at 228 West 57th street, was seated at the switchboard when he heard some one shout "Fire!" With the remembrance of disastrous fires on either side fresh in his memory, Malone went quickly and coolly about the work that lay before him. Smoke was seeping into the elevator in quantities which convinced him the seat of the fire was in the basement. He ran his car to that floor and found the basement filled with smoke which had an orange tint near the base of the dumbwaiter shaft. Passing only to close every door to shut off the draft, Malone ran his elevator to the top floor and began to carry down the basement. He made five trips before the shaft got no hot that he had to abandon his car. More than fifty persons were taken down in the elevator. Newsdealer Nabs Alleged Robber William Smith Also Held for Breaking Into Apartment. Charged with attempting to break into the home of Heary Atkins, 304 West 136th street, newdealer, Thomas White, 111; West 135th street, was held in $10,000 ball when arraigned in the Heights Court Sunday morning. According to Atkins, the defendant came to his door and knocked and, getting no answer, broke the glass in the door. On hearing the crash Atkins came out to see a figure running up the stairs. He gave chase and caught White after he had descended to the street and had run several blocks. It is alleged that a sheriff's badge was found in White's pock-ats. William Smith, 11 West 135th street, was held in $2,500 ball, charged with breaking into the apartment of Samuel J. Williams, 105 West 132th street, and stealing silverware and clothing valued at $200. Richard Dromfield, 27. 55 East 133d street, was also held in $2,500 ball for a hearing, charged with breaking into the apartment of Daniel Fleming, 163 West 183th street, and stealing goods valued at $4.45 A. P. Barrows of the Harlem Book, Tract and Bible House, 39 West 138th street, was held up in his store by three white men at 10:30 Monday morning. Thrusting a revolver into his face, the hands forced him into the rear of the store, where he hooded and engaged him. They then ripped the cash register and his pocket, foiling with 8200 and other valuables baling to the estate of J. C. Thomas. Barrows, who also runs an employment agency at the location, was in the store in the room. Detectives from the West 138th street station have made an investigation of the case and are searching for the robbers on descriptions furnished by Barrow. Barrow was discovered by J. Barrett, an occupant of the house. DETECTIVES DIVORCES INVESTIGATIONS, St. BOOLEY DETECTIVE ACADEMY SPECIAL NOTICE I, Dr. NATHAN Fox, Surgeon Dentist; 2143 Seventh Avenue, N.

Sunday night, while the meeting in Liberty Hall was at noon, no little excitement was created, when the cook at the law was woken in and took out Vincent Wattley, 248 West 138th street, a colonel in the African Legion. Wattley was arraigned in the Heights Court Monday morning before Magistrate Vittle and held in $500 hall for bearing on the 27th inst. He was arrested on the complaint of Mrs. Lottie Diamond, 140 West 142d street, who said that Wattley stole a diamond ring valued at $156 and $160 in cash from her. She says that she is a real estate agent and that, on going to collect her rents on November 1 she gave Wattley the ring to hold, as she did not want her tenants to see it on her finger. Mrs. Diamond further declared that she gave Wattley the $100 to deposit in the bank and that he appropriated it to his own use. Wattley failed to appear in court after two summonses, hence his arrest by Policeman Emanuel Kline of the 16th Prescinct. Counsel for Wattley told Magistrate Vitalie that his client had been bookkeeper for Mrs. Diamond and that she owed six months wages at $96 a month. The ring, he said, had been given Wattley to hold as a pledge for payment of the alleged debt. Wattley, who served in France and bears a good record, declared that the charge was only an attempt to embarrass him. After Dark? Oh No!" ORANGE, Feb. 22. "Who, me- me go into an undertaker's establishment after dark! No. lieutenant, not me—you've surely got me wrong." Thus protested Paul Mosley of 158 Farrow street, Orange, when he was being questioned at Orange Police Headquarters by Lieutenant Cronan. Mosley had been arrested for stealing two suits belonging to palibarriers and a bank book, the property of Prits Thephan, the undertaker, whose parlor are at 354 Mala street. The coats and bank book, reported stolen by the undertaker, were found in Mosley's possession, the police say. He explained that the last place in the world he would enter would be an undertaker's establishment, particularly after dark. Int, despite his plea of innocence, Policemen Tichenor and Farley said they "had the goods on him." STABS SISTER-IN-LAW TO DEATH Argument over the theft of a revolver was the cause of Mrs. Levine Stephens, 31, 111 Broome street, Newark, being stabbed to death by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Viola Stephens, 37, 131 Broome street, during an altercation at the home of the victim's brother Sunday. According to Clarence Stephens, husband of the deceased woman, who witnessed the affair, his wife accused Mrs. Stephens of having stolen a revolver from her home a few days previously, and, in the course of the argument, the latter snatched up a knife from the sideboard and with three wild lunges pierced her sister-in-law's heart. On removal of the injured woman to the City Hospital it was found that she was dead. Police later found Mrs. Stephens hiding in her home and took her to headquarters, where she was booked on a charge of murder.

All the defendants were arraigned in the Heights Court Sunday, charged with using loud and boisterous language while playing cards. All were freed by Magistrate McKiniry. On searching the defendants, four of them, including a woman, had revolvers, according to the officers. All were arraigned under the Bullivan Law and held in $2,500 ball for a hearing.

IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c MRS. GARVEY GETS FEE AND ALIMONY Through her counsel, Atty. Oscar Garrott, 206 Broadway, Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey, first wife of Marcus Garvey, was awarded $20 a week alimony and $250 counsel fees in the Supreme Court, pending the hearing of her suit for absolute divorce. Garvey's salary, as president general of the U. N. I. A., it is said, goes on while he is in Atlanta. Says He Lost $800 in Swindle Game The credulity of Archibald Johnson, 11 W. 125th street, has cost him just $800. According to his story he was robbed of that sum in the pocketbook dropping game by Douglas Jefferson, 101 W. 140th street. Johnson, it is said, was standing at the corner of Seventh avenue and 14th street on Nov. 10. when Jefferson picked up a pocketbook at Johnson's feet. It contained $3,000 in bogus bills, which Jefferson promised to split with him if he produced $800. Johnson, it is said, went to the bank, drew out $800, and handed it over to Jefferson, who hot-footed it away. Johnson reported matter at the W. 188th street station, and has been walking the streets since then in the hope of seeing Jefferson. On Saturday he saw him on Leuco grease and polished him out to Daleive Carvey. Johnson was held in the Heights Court in $500 ball for a hearing. POLICE SEARCH FOR MAN WHO SLEW WIFE (President News Service) PITBURGH Pa. Feb. 22— mrs. Eibel Roden, aged 65 years, of Covar avenue, died in the Homeopathic Hospital Friday morning from bullet wounds in the back, said to have been injured January 21 by her husband, Albert Roden, who had bullet wounds have CHICAGO, Feb. 23—Jack Johnson and the smile he used to wear when he was heavyweight champion of the prize ring were features of the Stokes conspiracy trial today. The pugilist testified that Robert H. Lee and Hattie Johnson suggested independently that he could "make a lot of money" by making additions that he once knew Helen Elwood Stokes. Lee and Hattie Johnson are co-real, with W. H. S. Sutherland and Dian F. Nugent, the lawyer, for conspiracy to the same Mra. Stokes. Lee, Johnson said, approached him in Kansas City in August 1922. Hattie, Johnson's approach, the put vaguely at a boarding house in New York in the Fall of 1922. He does not know Helen Stokes, he said, and told the Stokes agents as much. "I saw Lee," testified Johnson. He asked me if I knew Mrs. Stokes, and I said 'no.' He said: "It don't matter whether you do or not, here's a chance to make some easy money." I told Lee I wouldn't know her if she was sitting in front of me, and I wouldn't sign an affidavit, and, besides," with lange forward that shook the stump grapher's table at his feet, wouldn't sign an affidavit as any woman." Johnson and Charles F. R. defense lawyer, sparred w in the cross-examination un- son was fighting mad. B tried to show that Lee, as a or for a Chicago furniture or incurred Johnson's hatred l furniture the witness h paid for. "Lee did seize some so you had forgotten to pay for he?" Rathbun asked. "Take it? No; he stole it, son said. "You answer these questions without volunteering or you'll find yourself in trouble," the Judge said. A picture of Nagent and his brother John tearfully begging him to help him "saddle the whole thing on Lee" was drawn by Joe Bruner, Stokes's caby-detective, in testimony this afternoon. It was after the indictments have been found, Bruner said, that he had gone to New York to consult with the Nugents. John Nugent, he said, talked pathetically of Dan's career and then they both curled and worked on my sympathy, and I signed an affidavit they wrote up." The affidavit, offered in evidence, shifted the blame for the influencing of witnesses, if any were influenced, on Lea. Benjamin Harrison, bathhouse attendant, testified last week that Stokes offered him $3,000 for investiga- tions relating to Mr. Stokes. Found guilty for the sixteen- time of disorderly conduct, George Dixon, 48, 22 West 133th street, blind, was sent to the workhouse two months by Magistrate Kirkby. & an WASHINGTON PHYSICIAN DROPS DEAD r.Hemry P.

Calvary Church Forum Hold Welfare Mass Meeting in Manhattan Casino Patriotic exercises in the guise of a movement for better community service were held at Manhattan Cosino, Washington's Birthday, under the auspices of Mt. Calvary L. M. Church Forum, of which Dr. J. N. C. Coggins is pastor and Chas. Butler president. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the speaker of the afternoon, was warmly welcomed. He said that his presence there showed that he was interested in the colored citizen both before and after election. "We want to see to it," he said, "that every colored citizen has his full rights. There must be no racial or religious discrimination in this land of ours and no good citizen will rest until justice is had for every one." Col. Roosevelt lauded Washington and pointed out that he was not only a soldier but a statesman. "Washington," he said, "could easily have made himself king, but he was far too unselfish for that. He was deeply inbued with the love of the country he had freed. He had the idea of service and that is one of the lessons we all may learn from him." Alderman John W. Smith, another speaker, urged his hearers to take a greater interest in the community. The majority of colored Hartemites paid little attention to what was going in the way of civil improvement, he said. He told of the playground that had been established in St. Nicholas Park and the small number of children that go there. In this park the city was going to build a bandstand and a shelter, he said. As to dead animals on the streets, a telephone call to him would bring about their removal in two hours. Speaking as the representative of Acting Mayor Collins, Alderman Smith said that he was instructed by the Acting Mayor to say that the latter 'was willing to co-operate with the people of Harlem to the fullest.' Former Alderman Harris spoke against Jim Crowism. "We must see it," he said. "That Harlem HospitalFan longer runs a Jim-Crow nursing institution; that young Negro doctors way become internes in Bellevue Hospital, and that the Telephone Company employ colored girls as operators." Among others taking part in the program were W. Justin Carter, Miss Belle Davis, John E. Nall, James H. Hubert, of the Urban League; Professor Leon Adger, who directed the chorus; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Troy Gorham, tenor; Miss Cornella Dickerson, soprano, and Leon De Kalb, violinist. Dr. Butler presided. Moses Haunmond, 17. 231 West 134th street, and Leonard Byrd. 17. 152 West 144th street, were given indeterminate sentences in the penitentiary for attempting to burialize the apartment of Charlie Welss. 281 Edgecombe avenue.

McCray and 26 others to force their way back into membership in the Bethsalda Baptist Church. For some time the faction has been opposed to the pastor, the Rev. Curtis T. Wilcher. There has been much litigation of one sort or another. Finally the congregation expelled the dissenters. They sought court aid to return. A special master was appointed to supervise a meeting. Again the vote wont against the complainants. Blackened Face Woman Was School Teacher, She Says Mrs. Etta Coles, 41, 145 Jane street, Newark, N. J., who masqueraded in Harlem in men's attire and blackened face, was held in 43,000 bail for the Grand Jury when she appeared in the Heights Court on a charge of violating the Sullivan law. Mrs. Coles appeared in court in the same attire in which she was arrested. Her presence caused roars of laughter and Magistrate McKintry mistaking her for a man ordered her to remove her fedora. Mrs. Coles, who is a former school teacher, is evidently suffering from a nervous breakdown. Her relatives in Virginia, from which she recently came, have been communicated with. When arrested on lenox avenue, Mrs. Coles was well armed, having a .22 calibre revolver in her overcoat pocket, and a razor and an icepeck in her suitcase. She said she was armed to protect herself from the Klan. Returned Pawn Ticket for Stolen Jewelry Mrs. Iva Davis, hairdresser, 2340 Seventh avenue, appeared an comp plaintant in the Heights Court against Elliott Rogers, 36, 60 West 129th street, whom she charged with the robbery of money and jewelry valued at $615. Rogers was held in $1,000 fall for a hear- ing. According to Mrs. Davis, she left Rogers alone in her apartment on February 5, and when she returne that evening she found all her jewelry gone and $10 in cash. Some days later she said that she received a pawn ticket through the mail from Rogers for the jewelry. 4-DAY 125 SUNSETS EXACTLY AS PICTURED Massive Italian Renaissance Dining consisting of 72-inch buffet, ext. table and spacious china closet, a extraordinary offering in exclusive Must be seen to be appreciated. eire for less than $600.

Fails in Attempt to End Life After Blasted Romance The romance of Helen Johnson. 21, 2310 Seventh avenue, is likely to have even a more sordid ending than she had expected. On Tuesday morning following a disappointment over a love affair Miss Johnson, it is alleged, borrowed a 32 calibre revolver, and placing it in the region of the heart pulled the trigger. The bullet instead of having the desired effect, turned upwards, wounding her in the left shoulder. She was rushed to Harlem Hospital where she was attended, and the bullet extracted. It is said that she will recover. If she does, she will have to face the magistrate in the Heights Court on a charge of possessing a deadly weapon that has been lodged against her by Policeman Wm. Boostwick. In the apartment at the time was Ernest Smith, 139 W. 141st street, who is said to have witnessed the attempted suicide Did Not Know He Had Gun in Pocket Sylvester (Kid) Carpenter, 418 Lenox avenue, pugilist and former sparing partner of Jack Johnson, was arranged in the Bights Court charged with having a huge revolver in his pocket, at 133d street and Lenox avenue. Carpenter was arrested by Detectives Branfield and Conrollly on the complaint of an unknown man who came to the station and reported that Kid Carpenter was out gunning for him. According to the detectives the pugilist declared that he got the gun as a souvenir in France and professed surprise that it was in his pocket, saying that he believed he had left it at home. ASK PERMISSION TO EXECUTE WIFE'S SLAYER The husband of Mrs Hattie Thomas, who was slain in her home a few weeks ago on State Island. Las asked that he be permitted to operate the switch of the electric chair at Sing Sing. In the event James Johnson, who is charged with the crime, is convicted, District Attorney A. C.

From the moment they appeared on the stage there was a different spirit in the audience. The applause they received was at least twice as hearty and spontaneous as that given to the white ones by the white people themselves. You, although Negroes are capable of furnishing such excellent entertainment, you apparently do not consider them fit to sit in discriminately among such white people as one finds in the subway. You will perhaps return that Negroes ought not to be ashamed to sit together. Suppose you, by way of answer to yourselves, be frank enough to give yourselves the reason why you so arrange them and then ask yourselves, as Jews—as I understand you are—whether you would be satisfied under such conditions. I have the pleasure of meeting and associating with some of the very best Americans, colored and white, in this city, and, from what I know of them, I feel pretty sure that if you had the power to look at your own selves through their eyes you would find your conduct very small and petty indeed. You are no doubt among those who raise their voices against the Ku Klux, but if this attitude of your theatre is not, the spirit of Ku Kluxism I'd like to have some other name for it. As to the Negro actors, if they hadn't the spirit of slavery so deeply ingrained in them they would have resented your conduct with insignation and refuse to perform in a Jim-Crow place. The same holds true of the Negro patrons. If they were not such spindleless cattle they would either force you to live up to the spirit of the laws of New York State or quit spending their money with you. You're for jeas color conceit and more of the brotherhood of humaulity. J. A. ROGERS, Attention, Mr. Jules Hurtig.

Sid Leslie, of the New York A. C., breasted the tap a winner by a scant margin of two feet in front of T. Campbell, of the Paulist A. C., after a spirited race to the finish at the second annual athletic carnival of the Brooklyn Fraternal Lodge. No. 32, L. B. P. O. E. of W., at the 13th Regiment Armory. The Brooklyn boy, who started from scratch and allowed handicaps to the extent of 50 yards, had no easy time of it. A field of nearly 70 runners took the starting line which necessitated the "Mercury-foot" athlete running on the outside in order to pass the crowd. For the first three laps, Barnes, of St. Anselms A. C., the only other scratch man, matched strides with Leslie. The pace became too fast for the St. Anselms' runner, however, and he began to fall back. Campbell started with 14 yards to the good and took advantage of the handicap, losing no time in going out after the leaders. Campbell ran as he never ran before, and three times on the last lap shocked Leslie after the New York A. C. runner had tried to pass him. Coming down the home stretch, however, Leslie sped by Campbell after running neck and neck with the Paulist runner, and managed to forge to the front about 20 yards from the tape. Tiger Flowers in Return Bout With Delaney at the Garden Thurday In the one-mile walk, Phil Granville of Hamilton, Ontario, Y. M. C. A. starting from seetown, had no great trouble in travelling from Van Bargen unattached, and Charles Gibbons of the Pastime A. C. Granville covered the mile in the exceptionally fine time of 6 minutes 48 seconds. He was in his usually fine form, overtaking the handicap man in rapid order. Heapped several of the contests and crossed the tape a winner by 20 yards over Van Bargen. Neither walkers were able to accept Canadian's challenge and, asult he finished the walk in fashion. Handicap Too Much. Bruce Glencoe A. Another, tried hard to overtake a large field of runners in the two- piece handicap event. He startled from scratch mark and allowed lateral handicap to the extent of 16 yards. At each lap he cut down the number of runners and, and the race been another 60 yards longer, he would have been turned around. He was one who has separated two metropolitan titles this season, is noted for his sprint at the finish. He started a bit late Saturday night, however, and as a result had to be satisfied with fourth place, with only ten yards separating him from the leader. W.

PANTHERS FALL BEFORE RENAISSANCE eslie of N. Y. A. C. Breaks Tape a Winner Tiger Flowers in Return Bout With Delaney at the Garden Thursday Night Amsterdam News Had Advance Information of This Match Which Came Too Late for Publication. We are grateful to Mr. Morris, press representative of Walk Miller, manager of a string of fighters which includes Bob Lawson and Tiger Flowers, for the advance information which he sought to give us last week a few minutes after the presses had started to roll off copies of this paper. No sooner had arrangements been completed for a return match between Tiger Flowers and Jack Delaney than Mr. Morris grabbed the phone and arrested our attention with the details. Appreciating what we are trying to do in giving our readers a truthful version of everything that comes up in the line of sport, the information was held up for twenty-four hours and we are at least the first colored newspaper to tell the world that the looked for match will take place at Madison Square Garden tomorrow (Thursday) night. We do not believe that Tiger Flowers will lose to Jack Delaney and we cannot say that we hope such will be the case, in spite of our desire to see that certain charities benefit by the loss of the Tiger to the Canadian. Walk Miller, as was seen by his letter to us which appeared in our last issue, believes in a square deal to all and, from the first day that he arrived in New York to pilot the Tiger in his first engagement at the Commonwealth to the present, he has shown himself a man above the rung in boxing circles. The betting in the American Tiger and the Canadian Wolf is one that is going to attract the attention of the entire sport world. Tiger Flowers is one of the biggest drawing cards in the right game to-day and, being blessed with a neat thing called "ring color," his every engagement carries more interest than all the other colored fighters with the exception of Harry Will. Mr. Miller assures us that he will enter the ring at Madison Square Garden to morrow night with his eyes peeled for the trick he believes was responsible for the defeat of Miles on the previous occasion "By no means of the imagination can we flow. Flowers looming to Delaney. I consider the Canadian in the same plane with a number of other fighters we have defeated in the past. Compare the records of both men since their fight at the Garden and you will get an idea of the competition. Delaney defeats my man in a fair fight there will be no squaw from me, but defeat is the hot thing I am thinking of at this time." So said Mr. Miller in a recent communication to this office.

Committee of Eastern Colored League Frame Schedule Philadelphia, Feb. 23.—Jim Koean and Nina Brouge, from New York, Charles Speckman, from Baltimore, and Edward Golden and George Robinson, of this city, met at the Southwest Branch of the "Y." The committee mapped out a schedule that will be ratified and adopted at the next meeting of the league commissioners. The basis of a 70-game schedule, the same as was adopted last season, is that the circuit will be increased to eight clubs. It is practically assured that the league will get under way about May 1. Of course, where Saturday and Sundays parks are involved, the lid lifting will vary a little. With the moving of George Robinson's team from Washington, D.C. to Wilmington, Del. it gives the league an even more compact city, with more present cities in line, the longest jump in the circuit is from New York to Harrisburg. Excursion rates that may be had from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Atlantic City is another item that should work the favor of the team of the coming down some of the "overhead." Interest in the game with the Southwest Scholastic of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A., which plays the Y. M. D. of the 135th Street Branch on Saturday evening, February 23, is very keen. in view of the Y. M. D.'s recent defeat as the hands of the Acme Club of the Abyssinia Baptist Church by the score of 12-4. Y. M. D. will send their strongest line-up, including George Gregory, their aggressive captain, against the 1934 "chance" of Philadelphia when they face each other Saturday. The "Y" clubs will meet the Church of All Nations midday team in the preliminary game, which is scheduled for 7:30 p. m. The Young Men's Christian Association welcomes ladies as spectators to these character building games. Miller Breaks Record in' DeWitt Clinton Meet Six records were smashed in the De Witt Clinton meet on Saturday, February 31. in the close events. One of them went to Marion Miller, a colored youth of Junior High School. He brushed the tape in 1-8 seconds with Sultan, of Culbrand J. H. r. second, Brown of J. H. r. S.

Bennie Butler, sporting editor of the Tattler and manager of the Tattler Girls' Athletic and Social Club's athletic activities, has tossed a bomb into the athletic world by boldly claiming the metropolitan basketball championship for his quintet and club. Our esteemed friend from up the line bases his claim upon the strength of the sweeping victories his fighting court Amazons have scored over the strong Gibraltar Girls' Five, the Brooklyn 'T. W., the Tuxedos of New Jersey and the little Campfire Girls. He and his team play us except under conditions that would seriously handicap my aggression. Bannie told us the other Saturday night, as we watched Prof. Charles H. Anderson introducing his latest dance, The Eclipses, at the Imperial Hall, in West 139th street. "There is Mr. Cobb manager of the Mysterious Five," who has repeatedly refused to play my quizzes, unless the halves are of ten minutes' duration, and he has his own referees, who happens to be related to one of Mr. Cobb's players. "As for the New York 'T. W. woll, they, too, have evaded the issue, always finding a way out of playing my Blue and Garnet machine. And that is about true to them all. The Gibrardt's don't seem anxious to wipe out that man handed them by the Tattler's wife. 'W. W. seem to feel the same way. Say, talk about Harry Wills having a tough time getting matches, what about the Tattler Girls' Five? Guess we'll have to play the Renaissance Big Five or the Celtics. "We are now negotiating with the fast-tipping Peter Claver Girls' Quintet through my Philadelphia representative. Mr WILLIAMS plays them on or about the 24th of March. Then we hope to clean up Baltimore and Washington, D.C. if games can be arranged." Colored Professional Chauffeurs at Arcadia Hall Another Big Gathering Expected to Share a Night of Nights With Popular Brooklynites Lovers of the light fantastic will again have an opportunity to enjoy themselves at one of those high-class receptions which the Colored Professional Chauffeur' Club of Brooklyn is noted for, when that club entertains Thursday night, March 5 at Arcadia Hall. This is the eight annual affair of this popular organization and each previous one has been a triumph, so much so that the better class of the borough across the bridge look forward each year to the Chanafers' Club announcements. A novel feature of the reception this year will be the giving away of 1,000 handsome souvenirs to the ladies. The Colored Professional Chanafers' Club of Brooklyn is really unique in that it is the first club in the Greater New York. It has been built now for nearly ten years and gives recently the club purchased a beautiful home on Putnam avenue, where the members meet and enjoy all the comforts of a high-class club. Chairman of the reception committee for the coming receptions in Arthur Jordan. Charles Moevere is vice-chairman. Oliver White, secretary, and John Williamson, sergeant-at-arms.

Christopher Cherry Party Hundreds turned out to the "Cherry Party" given by the boys of the St. Christopher Club of St. Paul's Church at the Parish House on Sunday night, and a most enjoyable time "was had by all."

Slocum and His Renaissance Team After Brilliant Victories in Their Own Home Town, Visitors Put Up Miserable Showing Against Douglas Men Who Now Stand as Undisputed Champions of Colored Basketball. The consensus of opinion at the Renaissance Casino last Saturday night after the Renaissance Big Five had handed out a drubbing to the Philadelphia Panthers was that no colored team in the country today stands a chance with the crack players under guidance of the astute Bob Douglas. We readily concur in this opinion and if we are not mistaken, believe that we voice this opinion after witnessing the brilliant fight put up against the Original Celtics by the Douglas men, when they threw consternation into the Celtic camp by holding these world beaters until the last six minutes of play. It was condition and not basketball superiority that won for the Celtics that memorable night at Manhattan Casino, and even the experts who have never been any too generous with their praise of the colored team recognized this judging by the manner in which the white dailies woke up to the position now occupied by the local players in basketball. The Panthers failed to put up any kind of a fight against the New Yorkers. Bloomum led his men in a drive from the start of the game and refused to let up until the last minute of play. The first half ended 30-10 in favor of our players and with this lead to overcome even those not versed in the game recognised the impossibility of the visitor getting by such a handicap against a team with Mayers, Flail, Jenkins, Bloomum and "Pappy" Ricks. With the Renaissance boys such a lead over the best basketball aggregation in the world and they would have as much chance of overtaking them as we would of—of—getting the fifteen dollars which that little music shop on 181st street has been owing us for the past two years. We believe that Manager Doug plans to give some of the other coloured teams a chance at the title game the day of the season, but none of them need come here with the Men of getting the honors this year. The Renalisance players have been accustomed to meeting and defeating the stars of the big white league and that these men are basketball players of the best, few can deny. The final score against the Panthers was 61 while the Philadelphiaiana managed to set 28. Playing for the championship of New Jersey last Thursday night at the Orange Armory against the National Turners, the Renaissance boys coped the title against the mosquitoes by a 28-19 score. It was one of the best games staged at the old battle ground and the faas were enthusiastic in spite of the dumps in which basketball slumbers across the Hudson. The coming Saturday night another white team with aspirations to be the first to defeat our players on their home court will be the attraction. This time it is the crack Hudson County Big Five which comes here preceded by a reputation gained on account of their ability to make a rush from the rear and overland their opponents when all seems lost. As far as we can see, they will find the colored players prepared to defend the honors gained in one of their most gruelling seasons. These boys appearing here every Saturday night for the entertainment of hundreds of fans have met the best in basketball and their record shows that they have played the game in a manner which will leave them at a higher peak by the end of the present season. Hunter Show Again Disbands Eddie Hunter's "How Come" company, which was pacing at the Comedy Club supposedly to go on the burgee ticket with Louis Anselmo as the business manager, and stand that Hunter has returned to vandelle with George Cooper as his partner. "How Come?" seems to be an ill-fated vehicle. In the opinion of some it is a jinx which Hunter would do well to discard and look for something else, as it has been the case in many of the colored theatres and a few white houses in this part of the country. The musical and literary program rendered by the pupils of Mine, Y. E. Scott at St. Pauls Baptist Church, West 34th street, Dr. Arthur Brooke, pastor, last Tuesday evening, was a financial and social success. Mine, Brooke's pupils rendered their selections, both instrumental and vocal, so well that the parents and friends wore very well attired and pleased with the efforts of their teacher, Mine, Y. K. Scott. FIVE THOUSAND HIGH animals of 1,000 species are housed in the New York Botanical Garden in Bronx Park. This is the largest Bradford Steers 'Red and Black Machine' to City of Churches Tomorrow Night New Yorkers in Attempt to Stop Fast Going Players of the Superior Club at Labor Lyceum. Over in the city made famous by its many churches, rubber plants and baby carriages they are going to enjoy a basketball game at Labor Lyceum between two of the leading teams in this section of the country when the far famed "Red and Black Machine" of the St. Christopher Club, of St. Philip's Parish attempts to run rough shod over the players of the Superior Athletic Club. In a recent interview with Ailee Wilson, who, by the way, will be able to play a good game of basketball even when he reaches the age of forty we were informed that the Superioria have no intention of allowing any team to enter the sacred confines of the church city and running rough shod over them. It would seem that the stage is all set for one of the biggest contests ever seen at Labor Lycum, for scouts have been seen entering New York City via the Delancey Street Bridge to get a line on St. Christopher, the latter team taking the court against their Brooklyn opposing record of more than twenty-five victories for the present basketball tournament. Coach Charlie Bradford has been getting the Parish House players through an intensive course of training, for Brooklyn is one place where the dope has been upset time after time after St. Christopher figured she had clinched the championship and Charles is taking no chances. The watchword for. tomorrow night will be "on to Brooklyn." There will be plenty of dancing at the conclusion of the game, and, as usually the case when the Superstars stage an affair, plenty dansels of outstanding pulchritude to dance with the boys. So many people have expressed satisfaction in noticing that the Lafayette Theatre, while offering a larger and most unusual production this week, retains the same scale of popular prices which was in force before the coming of the "Club Alabama" Revue, we asked Mr. Shapiro for an explanation in the matter. "We informed that the management of the theatre to secure the above mentioned shows forced to accuse to certain demands made by those behind the production, and while they regranted the situation there was nothing they could do at the time. Mr. Shapiro also explained that he is satisfied in keeping the prices within the reach of all for any of the big shows which will come into the home while he is in control. The "Harlem Rounders" under the present conditions should do a land office business as it is in the best things around.

Hawes in Hard Luck at Commonwealth Club Battling Buck Said to Be Another Crack Mitt Man and He Will Meet George Eagle, Who Has Just Returned From a Successful Australian Trip—Bernstein and Galiano in Another Ten—Bruce Flowers Jess McMahon has again stretched his hand across the country to bring from the West a fighter to entertain his customers at the Commonwealth Sport Club. This time it is Battling Buck, the California Flash, who comes from the Golden Gate with a reputation of the best and who will make his initial appearance here against George Eagle. They have picked no soft one for Buck, as Eagle is another one of those good boys who is being carefully steered to the top. He recently returned from Australia, where he met with a great deal of success, meeting and defeating the best that could be dug up for him in the land of the kangaroo. on Same Card.

They have picked no so another one of those good steered to the top. He rece where he met with a great defeating the best that could b of the kangaroo. Outside of the regular appeal which rights at the Commonwealth carry for the many fans in attendance on the bouts every Saturday night, this week a special appeal is made to the lovers of the manly art in that one of the Boxing Commission elimination contests will be staged when Jack Bernstein meets Baall Gallano. Bernstein has spoiled the aspirations of many a championship contender in the past, but he has been asked to interfere with the plans of a hard one this time as Gallano is the boy who came all the way from New Orleans to enter the contest after piling up a most enviable record in his home town. The other ten round bout will bring together Jerry Werner of the Bronx and Jerry Williams of Albany. In the six round bout, patrons of the Commonwealth will again see Bruce Flowers, the Yonkers whirlwind. In action. Flowers is meeting Benny Nabora and considering the manner in which the colored lad has been wading through his opponents during the past few months, we see no reason why he should not shape up nicely against such a seasoned campaigner as Nabora. The opening four will introduce Louis Siglia and George Brandt. As four rounders are usually full of action the same thing will hold good when these two little artists meet. Lucy Laney League at Renaissance Casino Mar. 6 Twentieth Annual Reception and Dance Festival for Benefit of Haines Industrial School The Lucy Laney League another one of those old charity organizations with a large following, will stage the twentieth annual reception and festival at the Renaissance Casino on the night of March 6th. If any affair is worthy of the support of the general public it is the Lucy Laney League. For the past twenty years the people behind this organization have been collecting funds through these dances to send to the Haitian Normal and Industrial School at Atlanta, Ga., and any work for the benefit of a southern colored school is worthy of the support of our people here in the north. There is much work to be done for our people in the southern states. Our schools sponsored by our people in the south are the foundation for the things which we as a race hope to attain, and any money spent for an evening with the Lucy Laney League is money to go towards helping one of these schools. A number of well known artists will render vocal and instrumental music at the affair, with a twenty-minute sketch by the younger generation which alone would be worth the price of admission. The committee in charge of the affair will bend every effort to make this effort the best yet attempted and there is every reason to believe that few can afford to miss this big event on the Friday night, March 6th. Sacred Dramatic Show at St. Augustine Church Mar. 1 The St. Augustine Dramatic and Musical Society of St. Augustine Church Rev. Frazier Miller, pastor, will present a sacred dramatic and musical recital on Sunday afterpope, March 1, at the church. In conjunction with this presentation will be a high-class sacred program. The officers of the society are Miss Pannie Vaney, president; D. E. Herd, vice-president; Miss M. Miller treasurer; J. Shrwinton Jeffers, secretary. The musical directors are Professor William White and Professor William Belkridge. The dramatic director is J. Wiltom Mahow. HE LARGEST TRAFFIC TUN EL on earth is under construction between New York and New jersey. Four lines of motor traf fic will be constructed. The traffic will be completed. When are we going to stop this thing of trying to mislead the colored people reading our colored newspapers? In one of the rival sheets the other day we saw where one of the craft journeyed to some out of town resort presumably to enjoy himself. The truth of the matter is the brother had to go to his destination whether he willed it or not, for he is but a porter on one of the railroads, with headquarters here. Not that this should be held against him. Rather honest labor than hanging on the outer fringe of Negro journalism for posing purposes. We have always maintained that men who are forced to hold down some other job and spend their spare time writing without any compensation are a menace to those devoting their entire time to the work of trying to give readers the news. We thought that writing for glory had passed with the late R. W. Thompson, of Washington. Like in other things, there are some splendid characters serving Negro journalism without any recompense for the work they do, but these men have a story to tell and their work is but the contribution towards the progress of the race and the Negro newspaper. They are not writing because of their desire to appear in a false light before their people, nor for the joy of seeing their name in print. Be yourself, boys, especially if it is true that we must all applaud the majesty of labor. Don't tell us how proud you are to work and then be ashamed to let the world know that you are on a trip artistically waving a whisk broom. Fields' Revue and Dance at Manhattan Casino Friday Night to Be a Hummer Which reminds us of some of those Grand Central "students" who made a bee line for the restaurant of the Hotel Dumas when the good Mr. Smiley took charge. These bell-bottomed trousered "sports" tried to make the place their hangout and the moment we saw the trend of things we knew that Smiley was jinxed. The place closed some time ago and now the heroes of the grip posing as "students," who will soon be adorning the corner of 135th street and 7th avenue, must find a new hangout. Billy Higgins and Many Other Well Known Stars to Be on Bill Being Presented at Popular Amusement Resort. For the present season at least they have frozen our good friend Frank (Strangler) Forbes out of basketball. Some time ago the "Strangler" appeared with the Commonwealth after it was decided that the Renaissance Big Five was striking too fast a pace for basketball's unsteady. Shortly after word came to us from the Grand Central Station that the "Strangler" was handed an ultimatum demanding that he refrain from even appearing with the Red Cap. We at times wonder what is at the seat of the troubles experienced by our boy who had the honor of being the first captain of a real big time outfit. Tell us the other side, Frank. we are to judge the success of a thing by the effort put into it then we can say that Professor Moses Fields and Paul Lee should entertain one of the largest gatherings that ever turned out to enjoy a big time revue and dance at one of the popular amusement reports in the big city. W. Rollo Wilson is wearing sackcloth and ashes. Believing that the Philadelphia Panthers gave promise of humbling our basketball players in the Greater City, Rollo, while not coming out flat-footed and saying so, hinted the handwriting was on the wall for the man he calls Robert Dhu Douglas and his Renaissance Big Five. The Panthers were handed one of the worst beatings of their career at the Renaissance Casino last Saturday night in a contest which took on the appearance of a most one sided affair after Captain Slocum and his men reminded the Philadelphiaians they were up against the colored team that threw one of the biggest scares into the Original Celtics. Good old Rollo. He had a seat of honor that memorable night when "See" Possy grabbed the watch that saved Leondi a defeat at Manhattan Casino. These young men have been working hard to see that nothing is left undone to make the big revue and dance at Manhattan Casino the coming Friday night something out of the ordinary, and if for anything else than the labor they have put into trying to arrange this unusual offering they are deserving of the patronage of the amusement living people in the community: On the bill to appear to entertain the many who will most likely turn out are a number of well-known performers and others who have devoted the better part of their time to entertaining along the lines as will be presented on the 27th, among the outstanding ones being Billy Higgins, Billy Mitchell, the latter to be assisted by his Broadway Revue, and John C. Smith and his Modern Dance Orchestra. Poxworth and Francis and Julia Moody are also among the entertainers, which means that those in attendance will have no cause to complain at the conclusion of this end of the entertainment. Special scenery and costumes will also be in evidence and this will be in keeping with the decorations of the casino, which recently passed into the hands of new owners who spent a fortune in renovating the place. Professor Anderson Opens Class at Elks Hall Professor Charles H. Anderson opened his Saturday night dancing class at the NLR Auditorium last week-end and entered to give a select gathering. If these desires of enriching a fine evening, as in the old days to an up-to-date Saturday night assembly, we would suggest Professor Anderson's class. Assisted by a score of well-versed torpedo-theatre artists, the professor introduced one of his intent numbers, which met with immediate favor. We met with satisfaction that the professor has departed from his old policy of taking up half the night introducing a number of new dances. Apparently it is his plan to let the people supporting him acquire the finer points of his latest, and when he feels assured that they are fully convenient with the simple steps he will then introduce something else. The exciting will find this little assembly a place to spend most enjoyable Saturday evening. The gathering that forced out the Fate Hands Ivan Hawes a Tough One at Commonwealth S. C. Saturday Wherein Opportunity Knocked on the Eve of His Debut in the Big Money, but After Ivan Had Opened the Door He Inadvertently Slammed It Shut Again Today Ivan Hawes is disconsolate. Nothing that his friends can do can assuage the feelings of Ivan and tears come to his eyes every time he looks back on the fateful moment wherein fame, name and money were his, but which he, in a moment of excitement, threw to the winds by being too close to Pincus Silverberg when that worthy went to the floor knocked cold by a clip on the jaw which surprised Silverberg, Ivan Hawes himself and the gathering of fans assembled at Jess McMahon's Palais de Swat last Saturday evening. Ivan, as is always the case with him whether he is billed to fight or not, came to the Commonwealth Sport Club prepared to pinch hit for anybody in his class. Why Ivan should be singled out for Fate's dirtiest trick we know not, but such is the case as Fate directed Opportunity to knock at Ivan's door and the little colored mitt artist opened the portals—some will today say that he did this perhaps too readily. son is taking quite a prominent part in the show called "Harlem Roundsers" in that he is responsible for the music in the show. We are hoping that colored Harlem will turn out in large numbers not only to enjoy what we can guarantee to be some of the most tuneful numbers turned out in recent times, interspersed with a few others which you perhaps may have heard in the past, but for the part this man has played in helping to lay the foundation of recognition for the colored musical artist. Are we always going to wait until the O'Faye take us to Broadway before we can rise and pay the same tribute to our own? Why should it be necessary for one of our colored shows to first go to Broadway before we can "use it"? No wonder we are treated with little consideration after these shows do go to Broadway. J. Lembric Hill was the only man to keep the Lafayette Theatre jammed for months with his "Darktown Follies," but in this day and time producers have been rather chary about producing anything in a colored theatre with a hope of eventually hitting it big in the high spots. Let us give J/ Rosamond credit. He was blessed with a wonderful voice on the big time band, the skunk when he was young and it is a while to remember. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1925 The boy billed to appear against Silverberg either did not show up or was not in a position to go through with the bout, so Dostave, acting as Jesse's most able assistant when it comes to securing them and teaching them up, gave Ivan the sign that brought the "Battle' One" to the fore with a rush. Before they knew what was happening, Ivan was in the ring bowing and scraping, but the doctor came and called him back for the examination demanded by that array of Jack Dempsey's protections known as the Pursuing Fathers. However, Ivan passed the examination and returned with smiles broader, if possible, and even the ring was cleared for action. All present expected that it would be one of those ordinary countries which travels the full round" and none expected what happened in the twinkling of an eye. The youngsters passed and parried, ducked and shuffled, and did exactly what most fighters do in the first round: but suddenly Ivan brought a right smash from onewhere, hung it on Silverberg's jaw, and the little Jew started for the stairs as it shot. So far as Ivan was concerned, the heavens opened and he saw himself a card. He became excited, all this in the same twinkling of that eye of which we stroke some words previous, and before we knew what he was doing, Ivan hit Silverberg WHILE THE WHITE BOY WAS DOWN. We saw it, so did the referrer. Hundreds of readers believe that they can always expect the truth from us as we see it, and we are not going to disguise this condidence and depart from our standard by saying Ivan did not hit Silverberg when the white boy way down. Hit him he did, even though Ivan himself can hardly believe it; but it was simply another one of those unfortunate things which happened when Bobby Riden struck Ivan Shapiro when the latter was headed for the canvas to listen to the little birdies. The referee, as we knew he would do, waved the boys to their corners and the fight was given to Silverberg. Ivan was mortified. He implored the referee and all others who would listen to let him continue, and when he saw the terrible trick Pete had played him he broke down and cried. Poor Ivan; nothing could be done in his case and he has the sympathy of the majority of right-thinking fight fans. A wag came to us recently and wondered if our good friend, the theatrical impresario of Philadelphia, sought to share in the publicity attendant upon the failure of the colored banks by issuing a statement telling of his non-connection with the banking interests. We are surprised to imagine that anybody thought he was. He simply purchased the theatre and quite a number of us knew the matter ended there. We will say, however, that we are not surprised that the theatre was one of the things which hastened the downfall of our good Philadelphia friends who meant well but were ill advised. They are having a devil of a time making the theatre a paying proposition even now. Trying to run a real high class theatre for our sundown folk is a task which even Job would give up and inaugurate a policy of shimmes—she—wabble stuff. That's the stuff that pays on South street, Philadelphia, and all other towns with big colored populations. A Filipino pitched-hit for Horvoulou, the Frenchman, against Willie Powell. The stranger started the works after Powell, with the encouragement of the major part of the funs present at the jamboree, but Willie stammed the tide nicely and, although the brown man from the Bast had two good hands, Powell met him at his own game and defended him. It is no credit to us that such a condition exists. While it is true that we all gave Roland Hayes a little support, can your imagine how far he would have been today had he depended on his own? But when the white brother placed the seal of approval on him we were found trying to break down the doors to hear him sing, especially since he was doing the most of his singing in Mr. Eddie's theatres and other places. Lots of us ascend the rostrum to the house tops and about about "pride of race." Yeh, pride of race, alright, alright, and prouder still if Mr. Eddie "discovers" us. Lots of the brothems are right here with their talent and accomplishments for us, but we can't see them until Mr. Eddie says they are all right. As we predicted in our last issue, in the face of a difference of opinion by all the writers on the big dazzle, Fail Rosenberg won handily from Harry Gordon in the star ten-round bout of the evening. To our way of thinking Rosenberg fought like a champion and won every round from Gordon, with the possible exception of the teeth, which, at its best, could only be considered even. Gordon was given Which reminds us (again) that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are planning another of their big affairs: this time WITHOUT the stars to entertain their admiring brothers and sisters of the better class. The last time such an affair was given at Happy Rhone's the "poepul" refused to allow Noble Stale and Euble Blake and others to "do their stuff" as it should have been done. While the Broadway stars were trying their best to "put over their stuff" scores were "yow yowing" all over the place and it was one of the most disgusting examples of lack of good taste we have ever seen—especially so coming from that correctly dressed gathering. As dumb as we are we imagine it would have been "the thing" to courteously remain quiet while the artists were "doing their stuff" even if we raised the roof in appreciation at the conclusion. He—He—Hum. Such a worthy organization as the N. A. A. C. P., aye, and all the others of its kind, must keep their faces to the fore and do their work in our behalf "in spite of" if not "because of."

Rosenberg had Gordon covering up half the time, and Harry put up the kind of fight which made many wonder how he managed to get the best of Carl Tremaine. This Rosenberg is one of the headliest fighters in the game, and this we say in spite of our opinion that Wilbur Cohen made him look foolish in their last fight at the Commonwealth. Al Brown Cops Win Over Crack Panamanian Abad Made a Victim of the Fastly Developing Left of Popular Little Flyweight Over at the Rink Sporting Club, which is presided over by our old friend Law Raymond.

"School Days" Miss EVELYN WARNER & COMPANY. A surprise a feast of fun for all. Brown has been depriving himself of a number of fights because of a healthy right hand which he has hung upon the majority of the fighters he has met in his short career, and things not so bad the white boys started to draw the line on Al because of the death-dealing capacity of that same right. # 34. 10 M-11 Reservation may be by hand from J.

Fighting is a business with fighters, and they must use their heads to make money, hence Al gattled himself that Abad was not an dangerous as he had been made to believe, and he devoted the evening to "left-handing" the visitor. The unreasonable fans demand that Al knock 'em dead in every fight, but again we repeat that this is bad business, and none should worry if Al continues to win while grooming himself for a big shot when the Summer months roll around.

Nine out of ten of a group of 3,000 working children in Philadelphia recently studied were found to be in "blind alley" occupations. This is indicated by a bulletin just published by the White-Williams Foundation in cooperation with the Junior Employment Service of the Philadelphia Board of Public Education. The bulletin describes a study of 3,300 working children between the ages of 14 and 16, three-fourths of whom were manufacturing plants and one-fourth in commercial establishments. Less than one-third of the children were in jobs calling for memory and judgment, and only about one in ten was in an occupation requiring any training or length of experience to become expert. No specific or general training was being received in 40 per cent of the manufacturing and 20 per cent of the commercial occupations. Mothers' Pensions. New York. Mothers can give children good care more economically than can institutions. This is proved by figures in the last annual report at the New York City Board of Child Welfare. In 1927 this board cared for approximately 23,000 children and 3,500 widows in their own homes at a cost of $4,517,305. Against this, the city paid $4,922,700 to provide for 13,500 children in institutions. In other words, it cost New York $28.10 a month to care for a child in an institution and only a little over $15 to care for a child in its own mother's home.

In Italy the maternity fund already provides for insured women a money grant during the weeks immediately preceding confinement.

More Eggs With More Lights Subject of New Report If a hen is provided with light at night, she stays awake and keeps on laying. It has been found that artificial light will stimulate Winter laying as much as 70 per cent. The problem of the amount of light required to give the best results has been the subject of a two-year study at Cornell University, and the results have just been made public in Extension Bulletin No. 40. Observations carried on by the Departments of Rural Engineering and of Poorly Husbandry indicate that active feeding and laying by hems at night can be induced with one foot-candle of artificial light, i.e. light equal to that of one foot from the object illuminated. It was also found that, in addition to the feeding area, there must be light on the petches to prevent roosting. Three different applications of light are available, involving the extension of the morning light, the extension of both morning and evening light, or evening light alone, by artificial means. Forty-watt clear electric lamps in conical reflectors set six feet above the floor and ten feet apart were found adequate in the ordinary type of hen house. The working day of the hen can safely be proloned in Winter to 12 or 13 hours, and it was found that the lights may be turned on suddenly, as in the early morning, without affecting the hens, but the lights must be turned off gradually to permit the birds to go to roost before it is dark.

Bishop Vernon was Register of the U. S. Treasury under Presidents Recovevel and Taft. President Coolidge received him very cordially and had a short interview at noon. Bishop Vernon told the President that he was more than glad to see New England in the Presidential chair and that he felt the race would get a square deal. "It is natural that our people should reprise to hold responsible office in the Government. We want it because it shows you recognize our status as citizens and our right to be represented. The money which the office pays is of but small consideration, because the class of men who would be appointed could easily earn much larger amounts following their chosen professions or businesses. But we desire office for the inspiration it will give the youth; for the service our people can give to the country, and as a recognition that we are an integral part of the nation's life. Bishop Vernon was accompanied by Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, former Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia; Rev. J. G. Robinson, editor of the A. M. E. Review, and Mr. A. Lankford, a Washington architect. Hold for Cutting Woman. Tracey Brown, 53, was held in $5,000 ball charged with slashing Eina Brown and Salina Garrison, both of whom are in Harlem Hospital in a dangerous condition. The cutting followed an alteration at 17 West 33d street, where all three live. M.W T.A.W W.O W.C. M.W. T.A.W.C. $----IN PRIZES! WHAT IS IT? Read Race Papers Mar. 14th and Learn! Poems are included by C Jean Toomer and Langston I. James Weldon Johnson, writing in "The Making of Harlem," traces its rapid development during the last decade. Mr. Johnson shows how the colored population, starting in the lower part of Manhattan, in which is now known as Greenwich Village, moved northward, to the 20s and 30s, then to 40s street, where the colored actors and musicians used to gather, and how finally, in 1904, the shifts to the present Harlem began, until at present, according to an estimate made by John E. Nail, successful real estate dealer in Harlem, colored people own and control more than $60,000,000 worth of property there. "To my mind," writes Mr. Johnson, "Harlem is more than a Negro community; it is a large-scale laboratory experiment in the race problem. The statement has often been made that, if Negroes were transported to the North in large numbers, the race problem, with all of its acuteness and new aspects, would be transferred with them. Well, 175,000 Negroes live closely together in Harlem, in the heart of New York. 75,000 more than live in any Southern city, and do so without any race friction. I believe that the Negro's advantages and opportunities are greater in Harlem than in any other place in the country, and that Harlem will become the intellectual and cultural and the financial center for Negroes of the United States, and will exert a vital influence upon the Negro people of the world." Dr. Du Bois, in an article entitled "The Black Man Brings His Gift," contributes a biting and amusing dialogue between Indiana people, proposing to hold an "America's Making" pageant, finally deciding that they cannot do it because they would have to give the Negro too large a share, because of his part in the building of America. Mr. White's essay, called "Color Line," narrates experiences of educated colored people with the color line and indicates what the effect upon them is. Professor Locke, in "Enter the New Negro," writes of the spiritual emancipation among colored people that is now in progress. "The day of 'aunties,' 'uncies,' and 'mammies' is gone," he says. "Uncle Tom and Sambo have passed on, and even the 'colonel' and 'George' play bermudra roles from which they escape with relief when the public spotlight is off. The popular melodrama has about played itself out, and it is time to scrap the fictions, garret and bogeys and settle down to a realistic facing of facts." In "Black Workers and the City." Mr. Charles S. Johnson traces the development of a city type of Negro. He finds that a large percentage of Negroes in the city are confined to "blind alley" jobs offering little or no opportunity for advancement, skilled trades being largely closed to Negroes.

Schomburg; "The Dilemma of Social Interaction," by Pro THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News --- By U. S. SCOTT. In my previous article, I stated that I would tell how the wholesaler renders help to the small dealer. There are certain manufacturers or wholesalers today who are spending thousands of dollars in what the business world calls advertising campaigns. These campaigns are put on with every wheel in motion. Men are given certain districts to take care of, and to see that the dealer in his territory is getting the best out of this campaign. The campaign is run in a series of ads, in the popular dailies and magazines, sometimes in street cars and bill boards. The dealer is notified of the campaign and is sent display matter and told the name of the detail man who has the district covering his location. Free merchandise is sometimes offered for a space in the window for a given period. If the line needs to be demonstrated a demonstrator is furnished. Every inducement is offered to help, such as giving free goods for every dozen bought. Of course the usual discounts are made irrespective of the free goods. The men who take care of these districts are called specialty men or by some, detail men. They must know their merchandise and be able to answer all remarks of criticism of the article. The reasons for giving free goods for window space for the displaying of merchandise is obvious. The windows belong to the dealer who must make every space in his store pay. Do you think that telephone booths are in the various places of today for convenience? They too pay for the space they take up. There was a certain article put on the market about four years ago that was fairly dumped in the retailers' shops on 90 day terms. The manufacturers spant over half a million dollars in one of the biggest advertising campaigns in New York City. Every place where this item was on sale was advertised in daily newspapers. Girls gave away samples on the streets, and as a result over a million dealers are stocking this item for the demand thus created by that campaign. In the next article I will tell about the way co-operative buying is done in order to meet competitors.

Microphones installed at different locations on the platform which is to be erected on the steps of the Capitol will "pick up" each word that is spoken and carry it through a public address system, in order that those witnessing the event may hear. In addition to serving the loudspeakers of the public address system, the spoken words of those taking part in the inaugural ceremonies will be transmitted by the long-distance telephone lines of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. to their broadcasting station WEAF in New York City, as well as the following stations: WBEI, Boston, Mass.; WJAR, Providence, R.

The proceedings will also be broadcast by the Radio Corporation of America through Stations WRC, Washington, D. C.; WJE New York, N. Y., and WOY Sche连ecty, N. Y. It is very likely that other stations will be added to this list of broadcasting stations who will transmit this notable event into the ether for the benefit of a vast radio audience who otherwise would be unable to "participate." Graham McNamee, one of WEAF's popular announcers, will give his familiar "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience" to the chain of stations connected with WEAF at approximately 11:15 A. M. from his position on the platform and, after a brief description of the local color about him, will introduce to his listeners the United States Marine Band, which will be heard until 11:57. At 11:58 a fanfare of trumpets will call the assemblage to order and immediately the Justices of the Supreme Court will approach the platform, followed by the Chief Justice. Cabinet members and President Coolidge. At high noon the President momentarily ceases to hold the office of President of the United States, but at the next moment takes the oath of office for the term of four years. Following a short prayer, President Coolidge will address the multitude, not only visible but invisible, and at the conclusion of his address the United States Marine Band will render the "Star-Speckled Banner," bringing the ceremonies to a close.

"Hear the interpretation of a line of Bible prophecy given by a heapless angel," said pastor Briachan last Sunday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-108 W. 127th street. The pastor was preaching from the seventh chapter of the book of Daniel, where Daniel dreamed of four great beasts. He illustrated his talk by showing the beasts, painted life size, in beautiful colors, upon canvas. In the course of his remarks the speaker said; "I am no prophet. I am no son of a prophet, neither have I special wisdom to interpret prophecy. I join with men everywhere in repudiating human speculation over the hidden things of the Bible. Finite interpretation of infinite mysteries never have been, and never can be, helpful or dependable. God helps me tonight to steer far from such a roll."

He was born in Mississippi nearly seventy years ago, preached in Arkansas and Texas, coming to prominence in the latter state. In 1912 his official duties brought him to New York. He was sick for several years. He leaves a widow, a daughter and grand children.

A large audience greeted the pastor at the morning hour to hear his sermon on "Priceless Pearls." Taking as his text the humble oyster, making pearls at the bottom of the sea by transforming the incoming parasite, he showed how the genius of the Christian life lay in the transforming of the things that irritate us into the pearls of tree virtue. At the evening time another large audience greeted the doctor, who told in his prelude of the general situation at Fisk University, which the committee of which he was a member endeavored to ameliorate. The Greater Fisk Committee heard evidence from various viewpoints, and will reassemble March 10 to make up its finding and recommendations to the Board of Trustees, in whom is vested the authority of the university. He held that the outlook was good for a favorable adjustment of the difficulty.

London "Bobbies" Now Armed With Lights The London policeman is an exceptionally police, he carries no weapon except a small truncheon, and he is trained never to save himself at the expense of the citizen. Night has been made hideous to the "bobble" for hundreds of years. In the spacious days of Elizabeth it became the happy custom of the young bucks to throw a cape over the "bobble" head and beat him to a pulp. After several generations of this, the police were equipped with horn-sided "lanterns," so they could see attacks coming, but these were easily smashed by a well-directed kick. With years and progress the "lantern" became an oil lantern, with class aids, which broke casly and left the officer in the dark night. A few years ago "bobby" was given an electric light, which liten to his neck, proclosed belt. But old customs die hard, and the thugs learned to snatch the light from bobby's belt and hurl it at his head, thus breaking the light, or the dead, or noth. Now for the first time in history, the police have a light that can neither be scatched nor broken. A new type of electric torch, with a heavy lens and with a belt clip that cannot be unfastened, has been issued. The light can be focused to a beam that will carry a hundred yards, or can be made to give a wide flood of short range. It operates for ten hours on an battery and carries a spare lamp in case of emergency. The dark has no more terrors for the police of London Town. tor of Ebanezer Baptist Church, preached last Sunday morning to a large congregation: subject: "Help Wanted in Work of Calling."

Coming back to the musical side, I have noted that the habanera type of music, including our own native bamboula, not only caught the ears of the public, but elicited hearty applause and encores. We successfully featured throughout our concerts the beautiful Porto Rican dances of my good friend, Band Leader Lais R. Miranda, formerly of the Fifteenth Infantry Regiment of Porto Rico. The sparkling awaying rhythms and beautiful melodies of Rosas's impassioned Dreams made a hit everywhere. Among the selections and overtures there is a more direct leaning to the Italian massers, with Rossini and Verdi in the lead. A number that always took the audience was the Robin Blood selection by the American composer, Reginald DeKoven, and just so, for De Koven displays the same beautiful and masterly orchestral effects as Sullivan of Mikado fame. The saucy little piccolo, a well fitting and original term applied to it by Mr. Lecroy Nolte, won for itself and owner many good friends, and was fortunate in not only getting a lusty welcome, (too lusty at times for its frailty) but in being asked for whenever it fancied itself in intruding upon good nature. While in the United States and since I am here, I have been asked repeatedly as to which audience I find to be the most critical and hard to please. I have never hesitated in replying that the audience in the Virgin Islands, particularly St. Thomas, is the most difficult to please. The general American audiences go to various entertainments, concerts, lectures, etc., to ADVERTISMENT. When Your Poor Old Stomach Groans With Gas When Sourness, Pain and Bloating Follow Every Meal MAKE THIS SIMPLE TEST No matter about diets, special food programs or the dozen or more medicines you have tried without success. If you really want stomach comfort—quick, certain and lasting relief from the usual after-eating distress—just make this simple NEVER FAILING test today! For only a few cents get from any good druggist a little pure Manurated Magnesia—then, immediately after your next heavy meal, take two teaspoonfuls of the powder or four of the tablets and drink a glass of warm or not iceed wafer. This is a simple, pleasant and inexpensive test that may be absolutely depended upon to prove its value in less than five minutes and, in most instances, relief comes almost instantly. Bisurated Magnesia is a pleasant, harmless, non-laxative form of old-fashioned Magnesia that, when taken after meals, cleanses, sweetens and neutralizes the dangerous stomach acids that cause 95 per cent of stomach ailments. Be sure and get BISURATED Magnesia at your druggist's today! enjoy, to be entertained, to be instructed, to feel happy, to appreciate. These audiences are generally untrammelled in their liberty of opinion and are honest in their criterions. The result is they get the benefit of these entertainments and are better off for it. Whereas, our local audiences, with few individual exceptions, usually go to plok flaws, seek errors, gloat over defects, rejoice over failures and to discourage talent and laudable ambition; manifesting no desire nor inclination to encourage the praiseworthy efforts and very often excellent results the performers may have actually attained under very discouraging and distressing circumstances. To the musician this attitude is to say the least, amusing, when he considers that musical criticism, or any criticism for that matter, is the bringing of thought and taste to bear upon a matter with a view of pointing out excellences and defects and that this seemingly hypercritical attitude is not in any sense from a conception of any high standard of values. The psychology of audiences here reflects, to speak candidly, a catastrophe. And this attitude does not alone obtain in music, but in every situation, attempt or phase of life here. The following letter from one of our radio listeners is an example of the general appreciation by the American public for the efforts we made in trying to bring these islands into consideration in the United States: Lanham, Md. July 19, 1924. Your program, given through station WCAP last night, did more to put the Virgin Islands on the map than anything since they passed under the government of the United States. In addition to that, it was a courtesy to the country, which all appreciated who had the opportunity to hear. There were not many. I dare say, who knew the islands could appreciate an organization as good as the band has developed into under your leadership, much less furtish the material from which to make it. You have therefore raised our estimate of the people there, by showing us their music in music. Please accept my thanks for the musical treat you gave, and let all the members of the band know their playing was enjoyed very much. Sincerely yours. HENRY C. LARCOMBE. DARBY, Pa., Feb. 22—Mr. Chase V. Monk, Jr. aged 13 years, business manager of the New Era and son of Rev. Chas.

NEW YORK AND NASHVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY; FEB. 28, 1920 BILLUPS MOVES TO AMEND ORDER BILL ALBANY, Feb. 25.—Fraternal orders would be incorporated by the State under the terms of a bill introduced yesterday in the Assembly by Assemblyman Pope B. Billups. This measure amends the Benevolent Orders Law by creating 22 new sections, writing in the names of all the leading fraternal and benevolent organizations among colored people. For more than 50 years these organizations have been denied the right to incorporate under the Benevolent Orders Law. The bill by Assemblyman Billups would make it possible for the colored orders to enjoy the full benefits of this law the same as any of the other organizations. Income Tax in a Nutshell WHO? Single persons who had net income of $1,000 or more or gross income of $5,000 or more, and married couples who had net income of $2,500 or more or gross income of $5,000 or more must file returns. WHEN? The filing period is from Jan. 1 to March 15, 1925. WHERE? Collector of internal revenue for the district in which the person lives or has his principal place of business. HOW? Instructions on Form 1040A and Form 1040; also the law and regulations. WHAT? Two per cent normal tax on the first $4,000 of net income in excess of the personal exemptions and credits. Four per cent normal tax on the next $4,000. Six per cent normal tax on the balance of net income. Surtax on net income in excess of $10,000. No. 8. Losses if incurred in a taxpayer's trade or business or profession or in "any transaction entered into for profit" not compensated for by insurance or otherwise are deductible from gross income in determining net income upon which the income tax is assessed. To be allowed, losses not incurred in trade, business, or profession must conform closely to the wording of the statute. For example, a loss incurred in the sale of a taxpayer's home or automobile, which at the time of purchase was not bought with the intention of resale, is not deductible, because it was not a transaction "entered into for profit." Losses sustained in the operation of a farm as a business venture are deductible. If sustained in the operation of a farm operated merely for the pleasure of the taxpayer, they are not deductible. No. 2 Losses arising from fires, storms, shipwrecks, "or other casualty," or from theft, whether or not connected with a taxpayer's business, may be deducted from gross income in his 1924 income tax return. If his home or automobile is destroyed by fire or his property damaged by storm, the loss is deductible for the year in which it was incurred.

Amateurs Versus Professionals Last Friday, white waiting for the world to come to an end, in accordance with the dire prophecy of Mother Bowen, we received a questionnaire from a professional political wizard who, after decrying the fact that some political "amateurs," as our correspondent termed them, had been angling for some plum-tree fruit which was supposed to be quarantined "for professional use only." asked us all in one sentence: "Do you think I will be appointed?—how can I land a big job?—what are my chances?" Here is a paragraph of our reply to the brother: "We are too amateurish to be able to forecast your possibilities. Our amateurish convictions, however, lead us to conclude that the brothers' chances have gone down to candlepower heat, and will soon be on par with a lightning bug unless the brothers have some kind of a love feast—even if it's an artificial one—and pull for each other rather than give each other repeated doses of knockout drops. A little bird told us that the 'Nordics' on the Hill and at Headquarters are getting mighty tired of the machine-gun attacks which the brothers are letting loose at each other — I mean the 'professionals'. They lament lack of coalition and the disunion which is hovering over the brothers like the cloud which the Rowenites are going to watch for late to-night. And if the professionals don't get together, I'm afraid, during their bickering outside of the Big Tent, some poor amateur may climb under the fence and become a part of the Big Show. Facts and Fiction More state settings and printers' link have probably been used by both whites and blacks during the past five years, in an effort to display the past, present and future of the Negro race, than were given to this absorbing topic in any previous five-year period. There has been a deluge of racial studies, in the form of both facts and fiction, attempting to describe us as we see ourselves and as others see us; and none can deny the fact that there is confusion as to which racial portrayal, that of the whites or of the blacks, has most truthfully brought to public attention the changing phases of the so-called racial problem. The fact of significance, however, which appears to be developing out of stage settings and journalistic endeavor, seems to be the desire of the whites to stimulate an opinion regarding the Negro which may be used as a formula for a solvent of interracial difficulties as viewed by them. Thus, Sarah Gertrude Millin (white) has written "God's Step-Children," a fiction diagram of black blood and misidentification back to the third and fourth generations. "Thomas Jackson Woofer (white) of Georgia has come forth numerous times with pen pictures of the evolving Negro problem. These and other emblem white pen artists and research experts vie with Walter White, who wrote the "Five in the Flint"; George E.

In the meantime, the press of each race is telling news of the black man's eventful life in a style which is both informative and combative, thus creating an opinion which is as adverse as the opinions of the fiction writers. What, then, will be the trend of thought of the so-called new Negro, who is daily absorbing facts and fiction as to his easily future? Will he be led or misled by the multifarious opinions of both whites and blacks? Clearly, neither. Rather, he will more closely scrutinise the facts which surround him and which influence his life. He will then conclude that it is probably the element of Fear which grips the pens of the writers of the white group; then he will sift the findings of his own group writers who most accurately, as he sees it, describe his condition, and will select therefrom such conclusions as seem to comprise a curative for the flih which beset him, and apply them vigorously to himself and his rach! procyg; for this is, indeed, a modern age. Going! Going!! Gone!!! With the U. S. Senate struggling with appropriation bills, confirmations and committee reports, and the Sixty-seventh Congress, which passes into history on March 4, 1935, facing its closing days, it does not appear either possible or probable that the bill introduced by Senator Cummins of Iowa for the establishment of a Negro industrial Commission will be passed by the present Congress, in which case, of course, it automatically lies and must needs be resurrected and run the gamut of Congress anew before it can again be considered as being a live topic. Reflection causes us to recall that the "years" and "mays" within the race during hearings held by the House Committee on the Judiciary were bitterly opposed to each other. Speculation was rife at that time as to whether a project concerning which Negro opinion was at such variance was a profitable legislative investment for Congressmen and Senators who wished to display their interest in racial matters to the brothels in the districts back home. At any rate, it was lately understood that the industrial measure was booked for passage; and it was conceded that Senator Cummins was not a man who idly introduced bills only to have them die for lack of attention. It is understood, however, that the Southern members of Congress served their customary notice that legislation affecting Negroes should be left until the last call, and that any attempt to foster the industrial measure would be met by bollering reprisals such as were invoked at the time the Dyre bill was before Congress. Thus, the brethren must await the convening of the Sixty-eighth Congress before a Negro Industrial Commission can again be visualized, and even then it must come from the ground floor up. And those opponents who were sure buttons can stop dreaming of push buttons and swivel chairs, unless those implements can be transferred to some other Federal office much more certain than the Negro Industrial Commission.

The spirit of work in many of the States of our country seems to be, "Toll on, those - woman - look not for rest!" In Florida, Alabama, West Virginia, Indiana and Iowa there is no limit to the length of the workday for gentle woman North Carolina bravely permits for females to labor on for eleven hours a day. Tennessee laws make poor woman leave the factory and mill after she has delivered ten and one-quarter hours of steady work. Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois and South Dakota exact ten hours of toll before their female workers can seek the quietude of their homes. Nine hours comprise 10 limitation in eleven other States, while the wild and woolly Western States of Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, Washington, Montana, Arizona and New Mexico are the principal ones which call a halt in woman's work after she has lahored for eight hours. The Southern States, on occasion renowned for their gallantry toward and protection of women, fall far down the scale in furnishing a protectorate for their female contributors to the fields and factories of the South. What gallantry is there in the ten or eleven-hour day? None. Such a period is now recognized as being injurious even to male labor, as a whole, much less than the gentle dames who contribute human hand power to the progress of the nation. Of course, one would not dare impute the fact that Negro labor, both male and female, abounds in the South, where this group has ever been regarded as hewers of wool and drawers of water, and say that this bulky racial labor mass might be the cause of laxity in safeguarding the health and recreation of female labor. The fact remains, however, that the majority of the Southern States have been careful in the care of female labor, and their greet women, who are always a scripted for the "hard-work work, have been the greatest ferers from the absence of the eight-hour day. Here is some adjustment which is needed. Dixieland, the land of cotton, has the land of long working hours for the mothers of many of our children. Civil Service News emy of Business.)

Herron, acting librarian, on "Libraries and the Use of Books." The British Museum Library in London has a collection of 2,000,000 books and 58,000 manuscripts. In this Museum there is also a library that was dug out of the ruins of Nineveh—not a library of books, but of tablets of clay from one to twelve inches square, such as Professor A. T. Clay recently described as precious finds in Egyptian excavations. Some 10,000 of these tablets have been arranged and catalogued. Private Library of Colored Physician Is Given by George Foster Peabody From Palmer Fund Works of Art Are Displayed in C. P. Hunting- ton Memorial Library at Hampton Inst. HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 22.—The private library of Dr. P. B. Brooks, a colored physician of Washington, D. C., was recently purchased for Hampton Institute, through the kindness of George Foster Peabody of New York, from the Palmer Fund. The collection numbers about 10,000 books. From this collection some 600 volumes have been taken for the Malone collection. The public library movement in the United States began in 1722 when Benjamin Franklin established the Philadelphia Library Society. In 1547 Joshua Quincy, Mayor of Boston, proposed to the City Council and the Council passed a request to the Legislature that Boston should be allowed to lay a tax to establish a "free" library. This was probably the beginning of a free public library. It was not until 1887 that the first library school was started. The first school was started in a small way at Columbia and later moved to the State Library at Albany. There are library schools at Pratt Institute, Simmons College, Drexel Institute, the New York Public Library, and elsewhere. The Huntington Memorial Library at Hampton Institute contains some interesting works of art, namely, the equestrian statute of General Armstrong by the English sculptor, E. D. Pegram; a bas-relief of Collis P. Huntington by Bela L. Pratt; portraits of Samuel C. Armstrong, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, George Foster Peabody, E. B. Monroe, C. P. Huntington and Robert R. Moton; four paintings by the colored artist, H. C. Tanner, "The Janjo Lesson," "The Bagpipe Lesson," "The Lion's Head," and "Return of the Fisherman"; painting of "An Indian Head," by Leigh Richmond Miner, and a small painting of General Armstrong's grave. This list should also include other busts and pictures. Growth of Hampton Library. When Mise Leonna E. Herron, the present librarian, came to take charge of the Hampton Institute Library in 1891 there were about 5,000 volumes to care for. Sixty- four volumes taken out in a day was the highest record that year. In 1908 the Huntington Memorial, given in memory of Collis P. Huntington, was opened. At present there are in the Huntington Library about 200 periodicals and a collection of perhaps 15,000 mounted pictures. The Library at Hampton Institute is fortunate in possessing two especially old books—the portfolio edition of Shakespeare's plays, which was presented by Miss Julia Lathers and Miss Eliza both R.

Radio to Locate Hidden Gas Pipes The public will be spared inconvenience and the gas company will be saved the expense of tearing up sidewalks and streets to search for leaking gas mains by a new application of radio principles. "look at your hair!" Attempts to find old underground piping in parts of a city that have undergone radical changes have heretofore necessitated digging up much of the surrounding property. The new radio detector, it is said, reduces the search to an exact science. Sunken mains and pipes will be located by what is in effect an electric divining rod. Electric waves from batteries connected with a detector coll and radio receiver equipped with head phones are directed over ground. While current has free play, it produces a buzzing sound, which becomes more intense as the operator approaches the lost gas main. When he is directly over it, the sound stops, owing to the interruption of current in the detector coil. It is said that the new device can also be used to find secret gas pipes sometimes used by customers in their desire to get free gas for home-brewing and other purposes.

Health Examinations Reveal Many Interesting Results WASHINGTON, D. C.-For the past three years students entering Howard University have been compelled to undergo rigid physical examinations as a part of the institution's program for study and improvement of health conditions among Negroes. In much the same manner as examinations were made upon drafttees during war days, a corps of men and women physicians, under the direction of Dr. A. B. Jackson, director of the School of Public Health, has made a careful search for physical defects among the student body. Contrary to the general belief hold regarding the health of Negroes, these examinations, though conducted with searching scrutiny, reveal the fact that the selected youth of the race as it seeks entrance at Howard in found to be in fine physical condition. Drawing from among the specialist who teach in the University School of Medicine, it becomes an easy matter to have expert service in determining the various physical findings. From head to foot the students are examined by these experts, each confining himself to his particular specialty. The order of examination that follows is: Height, weight, eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth, chest expansion, lungs, heart, abdomen, spine foot and legs. In every instance the findings are checked up on individual cards, together with recommendations and prescription for the various sorts of physical education most suitable for each case. All male students physically fit are assigned to the Reserve Officers' Training Corps for three periods and gymnasium for two periods per week. Those physically unit have prescribed for them courses in corrective hygiene, which aim to bring the student up to the normal For the female students who are physically fit five periods a week are devoted to educational gymnastics and games, and those physically unit have prescribed for them that form of corrective hygiene best suited to the individual case. Dr. Jackson, the director, in commenting on the beneficial results which have been accomplished during the three years he has directed the work, a few days ago said: "We expect to make a complete Red Light Signal Most Easily Seen A red light is more easily distinguishable at a distance than a light of any other color; green comes next, and then yellow and blue in order, according to a report of the Bureau of Standards. The Bureau, in co-operation with the National Safety Council, the American Engineering Standards Committee and the American Association of State Highway Officials, has recently completed an elaborate series of visibility tests with a view to establishing a national code of colors for all signalling purposes, whether on vehicles, at railway crossings, or along highways. Such a uniform use of colored lights would, it is said, do much to prevent traffic accidents and promote the general safety, and it is for this purpose that the Bureau of Standards has contributed its work. A study of several thousand individual tests made with different observers, has shown not only that a red light is most readily distinguishable, but that it can be seen further with less light intensity in the lamp than all other colors.

Clark Tells of Negro Development in Pittsburgh District analysis of our findings for publication. The high sick and death rate among the colored people is most certainly not due to any physical or physiological differences with other races, but must be charged up to the lack of health education, and that alone. Health education will prolong the life of saint or sinner, black or white, as it draws neither a color or a religious line. At Howard we feel it our job to teach health with just as much emphasis as we teach science, religion and the classics. No race of people. I am certain, can possibly rise any higher than their health index. "Three years' experience in this university has proven to me that health education pays, for I have seen it get results. A number of boys and girls who were checked up last year as unit are to-day fit, and are proud of it. Others there are who, though found with certain physical defects and received warning, together with attempts at education, ignored both, and are to-day out of school, sick—liabilities to parents. State and nation. In short, we are making health fashionable at Howard, with the hope that the style will pass out among the twelve million Negroes, who, in order to win, must put health, virility and stamina back of all their strivings." John T. Clark Tells Development in (Preston News Service.) PITTSBURGH, Pa. Feb. 13.—In an address delivered recently by John T. Clark, Executive Secretary of the Pittsburgh Urban League, concerning the growth and movement of the Negro population of Pittsburgh, he said in part: "It is certain that a considerable part of our population is now in the Hill district. In the fifteen public schools which can be claused in and on the border of this district, last year there were 4,021 colored pupils of the total 2,423 colored pupils in the 165 schools in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately there have been no separate records kept of colored pupils prior to year before last, hence we cannot make any comparison as to the growth. We are certain that this district has materially increased in Negro population during the last few years. In Watt Street School, while the total attendance has not increased in the last five years, the proportion of Negro children has increased from 45 per cent to 50 per cent; in the McMelvoy School, the percentage has increased from 15 to 27; in the Somer Street School from 50 to 65 per cent. The increase in several of the other schools in this district has been even greater, but the relative number of colored pupils is smaller. "Four years ago in the Herton Hill district, which is the eastern limit of what is termed the Hill District, there were only thirteen colored families; today there were $1 Negro families owning their own homes. Six years ago it was stated that practically no Negroes lived west of Pullerton street and south of Wylie avenue, except a few of the sporting element in Clark and Colwell street. Now the Negro lives as far south as Fifth avenue and has crossed Chatham street in many instances. The number of Jewish and foreign business places have materially increased in the last few years, but it appears that their families are moving into other sections because they can get much better housing accommodations for the amount of money they have to pay in the Hill District in competition with the more easily exploitable Negroer居. In other words, old dilapidated houses bring on an average of $11 to $12 per room. This same money can obtain more modern houses in other sections Hartlem 32103220 H. FRIEDMAN, Prop.

Negroes Show Political Strength. "There are other evidences that the Negro population has materially increased in the Third and Fifth Wards, which comprise the Hill District. The political control of these wards appears to be fast passing from the hands of the Irish political booster into the hands of the Negro. This was evidenced by the election of a Negro Alderman. The largest churches among Negroes are located in the Hill District. All of the social institutions operated for and by Negroes are in the Hill. Property is being purchased by Negroes as never before and many prominent Negroes are beginning to realize the economic and political advantages of living in these wards by maintaining their homes and making investments in this section." Sleepy Intruder Arouses Jamaica Breaks Into House, Fights Off Dog and Lays Down to Sleep. South Jamaica, where Arthur Ovinder lives, at Farmers avenue and Rockaway boulevard, was thrown into an uproar Thursday with practically no warning. His fire engines and several policemen also participated. All because Howard Watkins, of Nash- ville, Tenn., broke into the home of Ovinder, fought a dog and locked him in a cellar, then undressed and went to sleep in front of the kitchen stove. Watkins admitted later he had drunk "some rotten gas" after arriving from the Booth to hunt for work. About 5 o'clock he felt like going to sleep. He happened to be near Ovinder's home, so broke in. The dog awoke with a growl and hit the intruder on a lag. Watkins hurled a chair at the dog. In the dark kitchen they spaghetti, the man using whatever he could lay hands on for clubs, the dog growing and biting. Finally Watkins throw the dog down the cellar stairs and locked the door. Then he undressed and lay down. Ovinder and his wife were terrified by the sounds of battle. Ovinder rushed into the street for a policeman. In his confusion he rang a fire alarm and six engines clattered and shrieked to his home. From another direction came three policemen. And We Will Furnish Your Home Sailor WARE CO. ORGANIZED A. M. E. Bishops Issue Statement to the Country Co-operation - Door of Opportunity. WILMINGTON, N. C., Feb. 23.—The Bishops of the A. M. E. Church, after a two-day session here, issued the following statement to the country, prepared by Bishop R. C. Ransom: We meet the Methodist family on common ground by affirming our belief that— First of all, the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Tested in the innermost souls of men and in its influence in the practical affairs of life, it demonstrates its divine character, and its own credential of its divine authority. We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, an everlasting personal God, the Creator and upholder of all things imminent, transcendent, in all, through all, God our Father, blessed forever. governing body of Negroes in the world, the A. M. E. Church is deeply concerned to preserve, perpetuate and extend the power and ability of our race to organise and thus And Jesus Christ His only be- gotten Son. Not in divine exempler merely. Not in a God-filled man merely. Not in a religious gonius than whom there is none born greater among the sons of men. But in the Lord of Glory, God manifest in the flesh, coeternal and one in Godhead with the Father, who for the redemption of the race was born as to His humanity by the power of the Most High of the Virgin Mary and by His death upon the cross made a full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the world. He took His body on the third day. He is the only Mediator between God and man. He is the Redeemer of the world. He is the Giver of eternal life, the Dispenser of the power and grace of His Holy Spirit. He is the Rock of Refuge of His people, the Ruler of the Ages, the final and Almighty Judge of the earth, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, who shall reign for ever and ever. We worship and adore the Holy Spirit, the third Person in the Adorable Trinity, who proceeded from the Father and the Son. He is not a subordinate agency called into activity by the creative will of the Omnipotent God, HE IS GOD. With the Father and Son He is, in the depths of the divine nature, the eternal ground of all existence. He is the creative Spirit who broods over the abyss, who originates all life, and out of chaos and darkness in the material universe brings light and order and beauty. And to the sin-clouded souls of men He imparts spiritual illumination and power. He is the soul of the church, the inspirer of the prophets and apostles through all the ages, the Spirit of Truth who converts the world of sin of righteousness and of judgment to come, and the Conforter and Guide of all who accept His gracious Leadership. And as to personal salvation, we as ever believe in the necessity of repentance for sin, in justification by faith, in regeneration by the Holy Spirit, in the sanctification of the believing heart, and in the wit of the grace wrought in the human soul. Why African Methodism. Our church is not founded upon race or color. We believe such exclusion to be a denial of the teachings and Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Be believe all men to be children of one Father, God. We believe that all who are united to God through faith in Jesus Christ His Son are brothers, and hence stand upon a common and equal plane. We refuse to submit to any denial of "the communion of Salita" in the fullest and freshest association at the altars of the Christian religion through modes of devotion that are held in common with other communicants. Neither race nor color should be a bar to the exercises of spiritual gifts and graces in the public worship and administration of our common faith. African Methodism has survived through more than a century of poverty and struggle, to uphold the common origin of its humanity, the honor and equality of its manhood and to be free to make its contribution to peace and love among men in the freshest and broadest service that the sin and suffering of the world demand. Today in our own country and throughout a large portion of the entire world men are divided by virtue, hatred, oppression and violence, over the question of race or color. The altar of Christian religion should be a common lever and meeting place for all. The A.M. E. Church offers such a freedom to all and calls upon self-impacting black folks who would follow Jesus Christ to unite with it and thus strengthen its power to break down the barriers in America and throughout the world. IMPRESSION COOPERATION. We believe in cooperation between the races on the basis of full manhood, equality, justice and brotherly good will. We commend the policy of the Federal Council of Churches both in the participation it affords for our full fellowship as Churches and in its Commission on the Church and Race Relations which is working to replace friction and prejudice by interracial harmony, understanding and practical cooperation. We note with satisfaction the work of the Commission, their striving for justice and amicable relations between the white and Negro Americans of that section. We will open our positions and people everywhere to extend their crucial support to those and other movements that aim to bring to practical application the ideal of brotherhood among mankind. We believe in international cooperation on the ethical issues and covering body of Negroes in the world, the A. M. R. Church is deeply concerned to preserve, perpetuity and extend the power and ability of our race to organize and the strengthen our influence in all departments of human life that go to make for freedom, service and co-operation among men. We are no less eager than in years past to see accomplished the union of the three great bodies of Independent Negro Methodists. We have not ceased our efforts or our prayers in this direction. We still stand ready to meet more than half way every friendly advance that tends toward union and upon our ministers and members in their several churches and communities everywhere, to maintain such a friendly attitude of cordial co-operation and friendship that the path toward organic unions may be smoother and our efforts in this behalf accelerated. Education. Education and Mission. The work of Education and Mission still holds the foreground of our denominational activities. The goal of Education has immensely widened the friends assisting in the education of our race have greatly multiplied the Wilberforce, the first school for higher education among Negroes was established by the A. M. R. Church in this country. In equipment in endowment, in wealth and in strength of facilities we cannot compete with many schools established for the education of our race. But we can continue to give that which is of far more enduring value and importance. The spirit of manhood, self-confidence and self-respect, together with the lofty ideals which the A. M. E. Church has upheld for more than a hundred years, constitute a legacy more precious than can be found outside the atmosphere of our schools and colleges. The spirit, which African Methodism would inspire in the youth of the race in of more values than the most scholarly course of Education which may be given by institutions simply engaged in the work of what they honestly believe to be "Negro Education." We ask that increased support be given to all our schools and colleges everywhere that the ranks of free and independent leaders of our people may be continually reinforced and strengthened. The work of Home and Foreign Missions derives most of its support from Eastern collections. The Women's Mite Missionary Society have undertaken work in West Africa and South Africa which calls for increased contributions for support. In South America and the islands, great opportunities for our church are unfolding. We ask the churches to co-operate with all the means at their command. A More Aggressive Attitude. We call upon our people to help a farmer and more aggressive attitude in the exercise of their political influence and power upon the government of the United States against its aggression and exploitation of the people of Haiti, Santa Domingo and the Virgin Islands. We ask that all the influence at our command be brought to bear to abolish race and color segregation in all Departments of the Federal Government. A Door of Opportunity. Millions of dollars are being given by religious denominations controlled by our white fellow Christians for the education and social help of our race. We are not able to compete with this miscellaneous philanthropy. But we do welcome and applaud it. Individual philanthropists are giving millions toward this end. The door of economic opportunity is steadily widening for our race. Our wealth and material strength are rapidly increasing. Our scholars, artists and scientists are achieving distinction and winning honors. We call upon our church and ministry to rise to the opportunity of this new age. We must not render the spiritual and moral guidance of our race in this new day. Let our people as they go forward place GOD ABOVE GOLD, RIGHT ABOVE MIGHT, CHRIST ABOVE COLOR AND RELIGION ABOVE RACE.

More than 11,000 other agencies on the opposite of this Colleges Benefited by Conferences Seventeen Institutions Receiving State and Federal Aid Make Reports. Washington, D.C.-The courses of study in 17 Negro institutions known as "Land-Grant Colleges" and supported by Federal and State aid, have been completely revolutionized as the result of a series of conferences sponsored by the department of the interior through the Bureau of Education. Four conferences have been held, the first at Atlanta, Ga. In 1920, the second at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1921, the third at Tianjinhe Institute, Alabama, in 1924, the fourth at Hampton Institute, Virginia, in 1924. The Federal Government cannot determine what courses shall be used in these situations, but at their request the Bureau of Education uses its offices of conferences with the Negro leaders of the workers to recommend improved curricula. Practically all the institutions have reported to the bureau a great development as a result of these conferences. The Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal School at Pine Bluff, Ark., reports that with very few changes the recommendations of the conference have been adopted in their entirety. "The College for college students at Dover, Dal., report 'Our students have agreed that we shall develop the junior college program in full as recommended.' The Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College at Prairie View, Tex. reports: 'We adopted, in a large measure, the course outlined at the Nashville conference with slight modifications so as to fit with our courses in education and mechanic arts.' The Virginia Normal and industrial Institute at Petersburg, the University of Arkansas, "All of the development in this institution along the line of home economics, mechanical arts and agriculture has been inspired by and in keeping with the plans and purposes of these conferences." The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Talahassee, Fla., reports: "We have used the program as mapped out regarding courses of study in agriculture and home economics as a basis for standardizing work in these branches of the college." The North Carolina Agricultural College at Greenboro, N. C., reports: "The courses that were mapped out at Nashville have been accepted by the educational authorities because of the endorsement of the Bureau of Education." The Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, at Baton Rouge, La., reports: "Atlanta conference inspired us to head and bear it toward some definite aim. At the Nashville conference we got a new program for our home economics department that is working beautifully. There was a reorganization of courses in agriculture, and now we find that students take to agriculture more readily than before. We have now a four-year course in home economic."

Maurice Block, Democratic minority leader in the present Assembly, in discussing the traction situation, referred to "the nigger in the woodpile." Of course, Pope Billups took exception to the remark and had it expurgated from the record. Assemblyman Block meant nothing by the remark. He was merely trying to make his point clear, and did take his point and his use of the phrase CLEAR AS MUD.

His crime WE ARE INDEBTED to the Chicago Defender for telling in detail the cause of the killing of three white Texans by a colored man last week. Frank Wilkes, the man charged with the triple killings, is the son of a prosperous Negro butcher in Orange, Texas, where the tragedy was staged. His crime consisted only in the fact that he and his father built up a thriving butcher business, patronized by both white and colored people, much to the annoyance of Joe Projean, a white butcher. Projean and one of his employees met young Wilkes and his two companions on the street, and abused them and threatened them with violence. Wilkes stood the abuse as long as he could, but when Projean attempted to get on his automobile to attack him, he killed the two white men. The third man, a brutal duty sheriff, was not killed by Wilkes, but his own folly. He it was who "teach Wilkes a lesson." COLD RECEPTION AWAITING GARVEY IN JAMAICA A FORECAST of the reception Marcus Garvey is likely to receive should the Government depart him to Jamaica, B.W.L. when he has served out his five-year sentence or otherwise released, may be gleaned from an editorial which appeared recently in the Jamaica Gleaner, possibly the most influential newspaper in the West Indies. Capitoned "Trouble Coming!" the editorial tells When Mr. Garvey was here some two or three years ago we did not anticipate any trouble, for the simple reason that his stay was to be a short one only, and also because he was charging fairly big; prizes to those who wanted to hear him speak. But as a resident, Marcus Garvey would not different proportion altogether. His business is legislation along social lines and we have recently witnessed something of the effect of his propaganda methods in our own general election. Garvey has frankly made his appeal on the basis of racial sympathy and匀匀ness and he has found that appeal effective. He made a great deal of money out of it, and when he comes to Jamaica he is certain to indulge in his usual practice or to attempt it. In inevitable so, for how other could he make an easy living? The fact that he has been in prison will not affect him temporarily here among the classes he will try to decide. He will pose as a martyr, as a man who has suffered on account of his efforts to found a great Negro Empire in Africa, he will passionately deny that he was guilty of the charge for which he suffered, and he will be believed. Now it seems to us that already we have as much race and color as we can very well stand in Jamaica. We attribute some of this to the indirect influence of Mr. Garvey. There are now in Jamaica a societies attached to the central society which he founded in America; he has therefore, already a foundation which he may build upon. But Jamaica is not New York; what makes no impression there might well crack and rupture our not very well established social organization. That is what, in the interests of the whole island, we cannot allow to happen. And if trouble is not to be permitted to develop it must not be permitted to begin. There must be means of preventing what is, fundamentally, seditious agitation. We need not protest our belief in free speech and our objection to all unnecessary repressions—our attitude on this has been demonstrated again and again. But any man who preached here a doctrine of race conflict would be aiming at the overthrow of society; or, if he were not aiming at that, if he did not himself realize where his propaganda must end—the result would be the same, and it is results that practical men must bear in mind. The man who fires a loaded gun at random may not intend to kill anyone, but he is liable to punishment for his wanton carelessness. We have, therefore, got to put a check on Mr. Garvey from the moment he appears in Jamaica. That may not be for some five years, but it may be much earlier. Whenever it is, we must act decisively in the interests of Jamaica. "Colorful" Writer Criticized To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir, I have been a reader of The Amsterdam News for years and have read the many attacks made on Marcus Garvey and his organization. dam News for years and have read the many attacks made on Marcus Garvey and his organization. The Amsterdam News has never seen any good in Garvey and I have always passed up these attacks, because I understood the situation fairly well. But when the writer of your column, "Colorful News Movies," made such a sweeping misrepresentation of this man it really seems the limit. This writer, whoever he is, knows that he not only misrepresented, but told a deliberate falsehood, when he said: "His (Garvey's) estimate of them (the Negro) was that they were inferior people, unit to mingle with men as men and unable to comprehend the falseness of American freedom. It was his aim that they should be forever segregated from the society of the world and unto themselves develop a land of which for generations back the Negro people of America knew nothing." It is true that Garvey has not tried to fatter the Negro of the progress he has made, as other leaders have, and as white folks like the Negro to believe. Would the Negro development of a hand of his own mean to segregate him or would it bring him in contact with all other nations and races and raise his status to that of a real man? But, suppose for argument sake he did not come in social contact with the white race. Why should one rather eat the crumbs from somebody else's table than eat a square meal from his own? Garvey has never advocated interiority, but has tried to impress upon the Negro the reason why he is accorded such treatment. Garvey has never advocated segregation, but has tried to make the Negro understand the reason why he is segregated. If that is advocating segregation and inferiority, then our ministers are advocates of hell when they try to show us the reason why we will go there unless we are certain lives. No man, no organization has done more to counteract the inferiority germ than Garvey and his organization. They have taken the Negro away back to the ancient glories of Ethiopia to make him feel he is not inferior. Their attitude and propaganda have forced newspapers like the Evening Journal to admit inferiority that the Negro gave civilization to the world. They have challenged white audiences from Columbia University and other places. When Negro newspapers would abolish the term "Negro" and substitute "colored," it was Garvey who came forward, took the same Negro from the rut and said: "They have given it to us—we will make of it a name to be respected," and it was through Garvey that certain daily newspapers print the word Negro with a capital "N." I am sorry that Mr Garvey's sites of the Negro building on his own sexual system do not meet with the approval of my friends Federal Prisoners on Increase Federal Prisoners on Increase Virginia Health Officer Brands Colored Races as Incapable of Attaining Highest Civilization WASHINGTON The number of Federal prisoners continues to increase at a rapid rate, according to figures compiled by the superintendent of prisons which are incorporated in the annual report of Haslan F. Stone, Attorney general of the United States, recently made public. On June 30, 1924, 7,667 prisoners were confined in the United States penitentiaries at Atlanta, Ga., Leavenworth Kan.; McNell Island, Wash.; the National Training School for Boys, the National Training School for Girls and state institutions other than county patrol. On June 30, 1924, there were 7,063 prisoners in these institutions. This is an increase of 602 over 1923. Of the 1,921 confirmed on June 30, 1921, there were 6,225 in the United States penitentiaries, 252 in the state and territorial penitentiaries, 250 in state reformatories and training schools, 156 in the National Training School for Boys, 154 in St. Elizabeth Hospital and 226 in miscellaneous institutions, such as workhouses and houses of correction. "The maintenance cost during the year was $1,532,763.81 for 6,225 prisoners confined in the United States penitentiaries, as against $1,475,602.15 for the 2,556 prisoners confined in the same institutions Would Deport All Off-Color Peoples to Other Lands and Try to Produce a Pure Nordic America. (From the Journal and Guide.) RICHMOND. Va. Feb. 12. Considerable resentment in being expressed by a large number of representative citizens of the State over what to them appears to be a studied and insidious attempt of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics Dr. W. A. Plecker, to use his office for disseminating, under official sanction, propaganda which might easily encender hate and distrust between the races in Virginia and the United States. His latest pamphlet, "Eugenics in Relation to the New Family and the Law on Racial Integrity," now being broadcast throughout the State and country is being severely criticised in several quarters as embodying Dr. Plecker's well known one-sided views on the ethnological contact of races. These critics point out that insimac as the views set forth by the Registrar in his pamphlet have been assailed time and again as being without foundation in fact by many eminent students of ethnology including Franz Boas of Columbia University, his writings on the subject cannot be valued beyond personal opinion and propaganda, based largely upon a deal of natural prejudice. Dr. Flecker, who is remembered for his zeal in passing through the last legislature the "Racial Integrity Law," which goes a step further than the Act it supplanted by not only burbling the inter-marriage of race, but went so far as to define as non-white every and any person in whose veins run even the slightest trace of non-Caucasian blood. in his new publication emphatically and bodily asserts that even under the most favorable environment and training the Negro can never be the white man's equal in intellectual and moral fitness, and expresses alarm that the white race is being ruined through a slow transformation with the colored race. Commenting on the situation as he seen it in Virginia, the Register says among other things: In the county are people bearing two or three family names, all closely related and of white and black racial mixture. These furnish nearly all the criminals, moonshairs and women, of low morals for the country." The worst forms of ridiculousness been amongst us are those whose parents are of different races. The variation is not simply a matter of color of skin, eyes and hair and facial and body contour, but goes through every cell of the body. The mental and moral characteristics of a black man cannot even under the best circumstances become the same as those of a Dr. Plecker's Anti-Color Program "Let us turn a deaf bar to those who would interpret Christian brotherhood to mean racial equality." "There is but one absolute solution which is acceptable and feasible, and that the one advocated by Lincoln and other far-scoring statements of the past, the separation of the races by gradual repatriation (deportation) of the colored races. This measure is still possible, but the longer it is deferred the greater the task." "The variation is not simply a matter of color of skin, eyes and hair and facial and bodily contour, but goes through every cell of the body. The mental and moral characteristics of a black man cannot even under the best environments and educational advantages become the same as those of a white man. But even if the Negro's attainments should be considerable, these could not be transmitted to his offspring since personally acquired qualities are not inheritable. Neither can the descendants of the union of the two races, if left to their own resources, be expected to develop or maintain the highest type of civilization." "We are all interrelated in reducing the death-rate from preventable diseases and of increasing our birth rates. Is that, however, the only thought that may occupy the minds of health workers? Is it not of greater importance to the welfare of the State to give some thought to the quality and value of its future citizens, than to lavish all its energies and money upon prolonging the lives and increasing the number of unfit, who are already increasing far more rapidly than the more desirable?" during the fiscal year 1923." says the report. "There were released on parole 692 compared with 829 in 1923. Of the number, 697 were released from the Federal penitentiaries, compared with 688 in 1923. The paroles of 47 prisoners were terminated for violation of the conditions of their parole, compared with 42 in 1923. The most troublesome problem in the administration of the Federal prison system has been the lack of employment. Illness has been the greatest evil. Illness leads to deterioration mentally, morally and physically. The penal institutions should be self-ustaining. Employment of prisoners in the manufacture of supplies for the use of the Government is the solution. Such enterprises can be made thoroughly profitable to the Government and at the same time highly beneficial to the prisoners. New Prisons Under Way. Paroled prisoners earned for themselves in the year $941.004.91.

But even if the Negro's attachments should be considerable these could not be transmitted to his offspring since personally acquired qualities are not inheritable. Neither can the descendants of the union of the two races if left to their own resources be expected to develop or maintain the highest type of civilization. "Virginia has therefore acted wisely when through her legislature she has declared that no white person shall intermarry with one-containing a trace of other than white blood. "At present the most urgent task before us is to suppress the shameful intermixture of the races which has been going on practically unchecked and which will mean our future downfall if not controlled permanently and effectively. "The new interracial law will step the greater part of the legal intermixture by marriage, but only a more wholesome mode of thought and conduct on the part of our young men can stop the intermixture now going out of wedlock. "Let the young men who read this realise that the future purity of our race is in their keeping, and that the joining of themselves to females of a lower race and fathering children who shall be a curse and a menace to our State and civilization is a crime against society, and against the purity and integrity of their future homes and the happiness of their future loved ones and themselves." The pamphlet containing the foregoing excerpts also contains Dr. Plecker's address, "Virginia's Attempt to Adjut the Color Problem," read before the American Public Health Association at Detroit October, 1883, from which the following is quoted: "Two races do materially diverge as the Negro in morals mental powers and cultural fitness cannot live in close contact without injury to the higher, amounting in many cases to ers paroled this year is 50 more than last year." Regarding what has been done to fill the need for new prisons, the report says: The most urgent need was for an adequate and appropriate institution for the incarceration of female offenders against the laws of the United States. The Federal Government never has had any institution of its own in which to incarcerate female prisoners. It always has been necessary to rely upon the good will of the states to secure accommodations for this class of prisoners. Few if any, however, had sufficient and desirable accommodations. This situation was met by the passage on June 7, 1924, of a bill which embodies the best thought of practical pedologists. The law provides for the establishment of an industrial reformatory rather than a penitentiary. The women will be segregated into classes, according to age and past criminal record. The discipline will be correctional and designed to prevent the inmates from becoming hardened criminals. "Hardly less urgent was the need for an institution for the incarceration of the young man who had committed his first offence. It has been necessary to incarcerate these young offenders with old and hardened criminals. A bill was introduced in Congress providing for the establishment of such an institution."

The lower never has been and cannot be, raised to the level of the higher. "When two races live together there is but one possible outcome, and that is the amalgamation of the races. The result of this will be the elimination of the higher type, the one on which progress depends. In the mixture the lower race loses its native good qualities which may be utilized and developed in the presence of a dominant race. "There is but one absolute solution which is acceptable and feasible, and that the one advocated by Lincoln- and other far-seeing statesmen of the past, the separation of the races by gradual repatriation (deportation) of the colored races. This measure is still possible, but the longer it is deferred the greater the task. "In the lifetime of some now living, we may expect the present twelve* million coated population to increase to twenty or possibly thirty millions, and perhaps to one hundred millions during the next century, to say nothing of the prolific Mongolians who are already firmly established upon our western coast. With this large population of people of low ideals, and low standard of living, the white laboring population will be to that extent crowded out. Virginia has made the first serious attempt to stay or postpone the civil day when this is no longer a white man's country. Her recently enacted law 'for the preservation of racial integrity' is in the words of Maj. E. B. Cox, 'the most perfect expression of the white ideal, and the most important exequential effort that has been made during the past 4,000 years. This law places upon the Bureau of Vital Statistics much additional work but we believe it will be a strong factor in --- Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON By Leonard Merrick. Published by E. P. Dutton & Company, 651 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price $1.90. By mail $2.00. LEONARD MERRICK is a cult, a cult which some of our best known English novelists try assiduously to cultivate in the public. The edition to which "Quaint Companions" belongs has introductions by well-known writers. This volume is prefixed by some entertaining pages by H. G. Wells. "The chief fault of 'Quaint Companions.'" Mr. Wells declares, "is that it ends." And he goes on to say, "This book has not only the beginning and middle and end of one story, but the beginning and some of the middle of another." The intelligent reader would be the gladder if it went on to that second end, and even then, he might feel there was more to be said. For this book is about the tragedy of racial miscegenation. It is, perhaps, the most sympathetic and understanding novel, in its intimate, every-day way, about the clash of color and race prejudice and racial quality, that has ever been written in English. Within his narrow circle of characters and incident, Leonard Merrick is a past master, and the Negro and his mistress son, Elisha Lee and David Lee, move through a Merrick world and meet much the same women that Comrad me in quest ands able of vilization Suggests a Halt on the Expenditure of Energies and Money for Health Work Among Undesirables. preventing the intermarriages of the races and in preventing persons of Negro descent from passing themselves off as white. "Let us turn a deaf ear to those who would interpret Christian brotherhood to mean racial equality." Addresses Ohio "U" Sociology Department Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio Legislature, on February 10, addressed the sociology department of Ohio State University, and urged the Negro's claims to recognition as a full participant in American life. Mr. Davis asserted that the question of race relationship was affecting not only international affairs, but also the status of Christianity before the world. Mr. Davis said, in part: "largely because of color prejudice the Christian missionary movement is at a soundwell in India, China, Japan and Africa, the great 'pagan' reservoir for proselytes. Indeed, it appears that Africa is destined to become a great Mohammedan empire. The darker races have reached a point where they will not kindly accept a gospel of love and brotherhood when the denial of their essential manhood by Christian people negatives the tems which they are asked to accept." Human Race Began in Africa Scientists are interested in the discovery of a skull in South Africa, resembling a man in many ways, and anape in others. It is the best "missing link" pet found, and leads the scientists to say that Adam and Eve lived in Africa, and not in Asia as has been held. We already have evidence of a man of the lowest type having lived in Nebraska some million years ago, hence this African discovery places the beginning of the human race even farther back than that. The Indian has been in America at least 50,000 years, and followed agriculture some 20,000 years ago. SUPPRESS DETAILS OF CUBAN OFFICER'S DEATH HAVANA. Feb. 21.—Il-feeling between Cuban troops and the police following the killing of an army officer by a policeman when the former was said to have in- sulted an American woman tourist in a canteen he resulted in a dra- tle military order commanding troops to quarantine. Police say the army officer was with four Americans. Mr. and Mrs. E. Aikias of Indianapolis and Mr. and Mrs. R. Troy of Pik- kert, Iad, which he was shot. The authorities are making ov- ry effort to investigate details of the officer. of his youth, and that the writers other very human heroes encountered in stories of the theatrical world in England and of life among the artists in Paris. Here is the self-scooting woman, with her power of destroying the artist, so delicately drawn, and the unselfish woman who brings comfort and something of happiness to the distressed her The two Lees are very different types of men. The first is passionate, jealous, lovable. The second, his son, is shy, timid, vry sensitive. Each loves a white woman. The father wins the pretty face that takes his fancy, only to be ruined by the selfish spirit that lies back of it. The son grows up amid a prejudice that is much greater, I must confess, than I had supposed any writer could depict in England. David is able to go to a private school, but his treatment by the boys there is as brutal as it would be in South Carolina. He is continually meeting with misunderness. When, after his father's death, he goes to London, he is utterly alone. It is there that he begins to write poetry, and at length receives recognition. He enters into a correspondence with an unknown woman and this correspondence and its results make up the slight plot of the story. Wells much prefers the *dither* who, as he says, has "guts." The following conversation shows the two characters David has described to his father, who is a great singer, a poem he is writing deplaining a fox hunt from the viewpoint of the fox. He ends with: "It sounds like a game of savages. father." "Whatever it is you won't alter it, sunny. You don't suppose you're going to make the world any better?" This was really David's most sanguine hope, but he looked modest. "Anyhow, I can write the truth," he said. "The truth? Who the devil wants the truth?" replied the nigger. "People hate the truth, especially English people; there's nothing English people deserve so much. And they always deny it. I'll tell you what you might do, if you feel like that — you might make it a bull-fight and go for the brutality of the foreigner. But even then it would be no good for music. If you want to do lyrics you must write about love, or the value of Englishmen. Nothing else is any; nobody would sing this. Note the casual way in which the writer, always sympathetic with his hero, uses the term "nigger." I suspect the word will become a part of the English language until it drops out, because it has no significance, no connotation of reproach, as "Paddy," the term for the once despoiled Irish, has gone. 'Quaint Companye' is not a great book, but it is a very charming one.
