Thus are certain tribes of West and South Africa, particularly those under English rule, who feel that their Lord Paramount has not dealt justly with them, beginning to protest against what they assert is an era of injustice, both mild and marked. Their protests were first mere frowns, but as civilization has slowly crept into their midst they have begun to follow in the footsteps of others whom civilization has wrought into a chafing people seeking light, wisdom and equity. Native labor has but sullenly accepted the labor conditions and wages set up by English overseers and employers. Frequently farm lands have gone to waste under the idle hands of African labor which has become thoroughly awakened to the joy and the sorrows of the new industrial day. So apathetic have become certain African laborers working under English rule that one of the English Governors made a trip through several colonies, exhorting labor to go to the post and endeavoring to paint rosette pictures of wages and conditions of labor, hoping to stimulate greater interest and steuner loyalty. World civilization, though, is making itself felt even in West and South Africa, whose natives resent the growing race prejudice and segregation. They present being debarred from Parliament. They dislike the debarment from South Africa's real army, which is supposed to fight for the country in times of war. They are angry because people of color are prohibited from offering products for sale in the public markets of Johannesburg. They can see naught but prejudice in the Urban Act, which deprives the natives of the right of owning ground or building lots in any of the towns of South Africa. They claim that, under the present rule, it is sought to prevent them from rising above the level of hewers of wood and drawers of water—a precedent of inequality, injustice and unfair dealing. These are some of the reactions lately tabulated from the Dark continent, and are outstanding even amid the tumult and shouting said to have followed in the wake of the visiting Prince of Wales. It was to be expected; for the exploitation of any people, as history shows, is a time-clock affair, and when the alarm strikes, the sleeping people awaken and the exploiters become troubled. Exploitation is bound to pass away in Africa, just as it did in America, and thoughtful nations which have temporarily benefited at the expense of the masses in Africa will, as they review history and see what has happened to other exploiting nations, hasten to make amends for the evil they have wrought. Fisk—FIST—McKenzie—Missed. Our good friend Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University recently braved modernism long enough to call gentle woman back to the children, the church and the home. The thoughtful dean in the spirit of metonymy used the word "kitchen," symbolizing we presume, home and household duties, and admonished our ladies to be modest in attire, lovers of the fireside, and evaders of race suicide, all of which seems to have jolted the equanimity of our esteemed friend J. A. Rogera, "The Critic," who, in his ably-written comments in this month's "Messenger," proceeds to take the dean mildly to task for daring to suggest that "substance" should take precedence over "form" in the ideals of every woman. Critic Rogers intimates that Dean Miller is a 100 per cent possimist for wanting to wave noble woman back to the days of real kisses and kiddies. He Aguratively (Continued on Page 2.)

Doctors List Those Who Don't Pay WASHINGTON. D. C., May 4. — The Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia, comprising all of the educated physicians and surgeons of the District, has passed into operation a plan to presbyphy a central agency home. Note of patients will be admitted to the hospital, dispatched to a man seeking doctor care without notifying his bills with other doctors. The plan has been in operation for about a month, it is stated, and already is meeting with success. It is based on the system used by department stores in the majority of large cities throughout the country to protect themselves against the patron who does not meet his bills. The doctors state that their plan does not affect the care of charity patients, who are taken care of as usual. Students Object to Negro Diplomat Clifton Wharton Sent to Post in Liberia Without Usual Training WASHINGTON, D. C. May 4.—Nordicism, Ku Kluxism, race superiority and other white-ism in America were manifested by the white students of the Foreign Service School of the State Department last week when the "Superior" Nordics went on a strike protesting the presence of Clifford Wharton, of Massachusetts, the only Negro student to enter the school. After several lengthy conferences of state department officials Wharton was immediately "graduated," without taking a day's work of the required year's course, and given official recognition as a full-fledged diplomat and sent to Liberia as a United States attache. The Foreign Service School was recently established with the idea that American diplomats should be professionals, who had been taught while young and trained thoroughly in all the wiles of international procedure, before being sent abroad to speak for Uncle Sam. Congress provided in the bill authorizing the school that every new attachment taken into the Government's foreign service must receive a thorough preliminary training in all diplomatic practices and procedures before being sent abroad. With this foundation an attachment can gradually be promoted until he finally becomes a full-fledged ambassador if ability warrants. It appears that the white students of the school could not "stomach" the idea of a Negro taking the preliminary qualifications. DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS. Ets.

White majors have been at the head of the other battalions, from which there have been more than 600 desertions in less than two years. It has been necessary to draw on the first battalion, under the colorer major, for men in order that the other battalions might make a respectable showing. Is this not sufficient answer to the fact that the men of the regiment themselves want officers of their own race? Equity Congress has spared neither pains nor money to make this meeting the biggest and most productive affair of the season. Prominent men of both races will be present and deliver addresses. Among the speakers expected are ex-Governor William Sulzer, Mayor John F. Hylan, Commissioner Martin t. J. Healy, Rev. Dr. A. B. Vincent, Rev. Dr. J. R.

Admission is free to everybody, and all members and friends of the race are most cordially invited to be present and lend their support to this great effort to express to the Governor of the State the fact that its colored citizens are unanimous in their feeling that it is now high time for this overdue recognition to be granted us, and that it is our united wish to have a thoroughly capable and qualified colored man appointed colonel of the Fifteenth infantry without further delay.

Washington landed in Miami Harbor after New York to various ports in when notified of the ship's coming time when it was found necessary, amounting to slightly more officially enter the harbor.

POLICE NEGLECT CAUSES DEATH Prominent Lexington, Ky., Woman, III, Dies Unattended in Jail Prominent Lexington, Ky., Woman, III, Dies Unattended in Jail Suffering From Indigestion, Mrs. Gertrude Boulder Is Taken to Station House and Charged With Intoxication. Colored people of Lexington, Kentucky, are aroused over the treatment, resulting in her death, given by the local police to Mrs. Gertrude Boulder, a prominent church and civic worker, who, when she became unconscious from acute indigestion on the street, was taken to a local jail on charges of intoxication and without any medical attendance was allowed to die in her cell. Local colored organizations, including the Lexington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, combined in presenting a protest to Mayor Hogan Yancey and in demanding a rigid investigation of the neglect shown by the police. The petition presented to the Mayor and to Safety Commissioner Genary of Lexington refers to the "tragic and disgraceful" death of Mrs. Boulder and gives the following statement of what occurred: Susering from a severe attack of indigestion last Wednesday evening, she fell unconscious on the street on her way home from work. In this state she was picked up by officers about 10:30 and taken to the police station for drunk. She, it seems, was left alone during the night, without medical aid or any attention whatever and was found dead in the cell the next morning. "Mrs. Boulder was highly respectable, a member of the Evergreen Baptist Church, a member of the Y. W. C. A. active in the Women's Council Community Service and several internal organizations. She was an active worker at the polls last year and was one of the committee and contributors to the Welfare League. The best Negro women and citizens of Lexington wish here to enter our protest, disgust and indignation against such treatment toward our law-abiding citizens. "Indeed we are such alarmed and feel that we have no protection whatever; we therefore beg you to make a thorough investigation of this case and if need be to so amend the laws or city ordinances, so that the respectable women of our race would not have to die in a cell in the police station, if found in an unconscious state on the street." with these wives of intoxication as certified to by the coroner, no disorderly conduct, to indicate quarrel, coupled with the fact that she was neatly dressed, we feel that either our colored policewoman, probation officer, city physician or trained nurse might have been called to identify her since few of our best citizens are known by the white liecemen." The petition was signed by Mrs. B. Fouse, representing the City deration of 40 Clubs and the National Association of Colored Women, as well as by practically all the leaders in civic, fraternal church work in the city, and as endorsed editorially by the local white press. As a consequence of an investigation made, the Mayor prepared a report, endorsed by the Board of City Commissioners, deploring the occurrence, and giving assurance of a new rule providing that medical attention shall at once be provided for anyone brought to the police station in an unconscious condition. The report of the Mayor and City Council concludes: "We found that Mrs. Boulder was a woman of unimpeachable character, thoroughly interested in the welfare of her community and her people, that she was a worker in all public drives for the benefit of the city, and contributed to all the just causes both of her time and money. In her passing Lesington has lost one of its leading colored citizens and we hereby extend our deepest sympathy to the members of her family."

Colorful News "Movies" (Continued from Page 1.1) refers to "the intellectual gap between the Negro man and the Negro woman," and gauges the discrepancy by showing that in "Who's Who" one colored woman is listed as against sixty-four colored men; whereas among the whites there is listed one woman to every sixteen men. The temptation to intervene in the brief discussion of so absorbing a topic is so great that we are quite unable to resist the impulse. Hence, with apologies to the worthy penmen, we are making these few observations. Whether to "bear and rear" or not to "bear and rear" kiddies is not the true question of womanhood in its generic interpretation. Whether knickers and bobbed hair are womanly embellishments is quite immaterial. Whether or not there's ever a single feminine name in "Who's Who" is of slight concern in the bona fide province of woman in this globe. Woman is the beautiful refiner of crude man test he be eternally lonesome, she was sent into his midst to solace and comfort him. She is the smoothing veneer of life, the peaceful arbiter of ugly passions and the sedative of sex antipathies. Such characteristics are not those of modernism, which is high-powered and commercialistic. And if her influence brings about the results above described, it is merely incidental that she is in the kitchen or in "Who's Who". But when she loses that vision voluntarily or by the pressure of man, be she in the kitchen or amongst the intellectuals of the world, she has traded her birthright for a mess of potage. Porters in the Air According to the Associated Press (white), the Pullman Company, builders of de luxe parlor air and coaches for the great trunk line carriers of the United States, is about to embark in the enterprise of building de luxe aerial equipment for use in a contemplated commercial travelers' air line service, soon to be inaugurated by several aeroplane companies. Cushioned aerial compartments, commodiously appointed, and not unlike the divaned bay windows of the Ritz-Carlton or Hotel Pennsylvania, are to be offered to aerial travelers to whom the Twentheth Century Limited or the Knickerbocker Express are merely snails. "And," says the A. P., "these Pullman compartments for aeroplanes are to be manned by Negro porters, to be taken from the Pullman service." And when we read those lines we knew that there was something wrong in Denmark. Negro porters in the air! We know, of course, of Lient. Julian, daredevil aerialist and parachute jumper, who is qualified for Pullman air service, but who makes a dollar a minute giving thrills to the public.

HAMPTON, Va., May 4—Faultless weather and clear skies greeted Hampton's second consecutive shut-out victory, when Edward Hargrove allowed the "Hilltoppers" of Virginia Normal Institute a small allowance of three hits, while his teammates collected three runs for a third triumph.

A week later Virginia Normal Institute could secure only three hits and Hampton three runs. It is the avowed intention of the "Seasiders" to hold opponents to exactly no more hits than they (namely the "Seasiders") can garner runs. That is, for instance, if in Hampton's next game, which is with Virginia Union University, Union holds Hampton to about four runs, then Hampton hopes and plans to hold Union to about four hits. Despite the fact that the season is just well under way the "Seasiders" believe they are headed toward another championship, this time in the national pastime. By the process of handing their respective and respectable opponents a collection of goose eggs, the Hampton men figure they can add a baseball title to their collection of championships. It will be a hard task, but with three good boxmen, a peppers pair of receivers, an airlight indeld, as it has been to date, a hard-hitting and clean-fielding outfield and capable coaching. Hampton seems to have a good chance. Hargrove was accorded errorless support in the victory over the "Hilltopters." Scored First Inning. Last year's baseball champions almost tailed in the first inning. Moses, the "Hilltopper's" capable catcher, doubled, stole third, but was tagged out coming home by Longworth Quinn, who did Hampton's catching. In Hampton's first she scored once. Anselay was safe on Turner's error and stole second. Gunn whiffed, but Bird singled to advance Anselay, who scored when Johnson was safe on a fielder's choice. The final Hampton tally came in the fifth. Lambright singled, Hargrove advanced Lambright on a sacrifice hit, but Anselay failed to control. Acting Captain David Gunn smashed out a three-bagger, however, to send Lambright scampering home with the last score of the day. M. E. Allen, pitching for Virginia Normal, was by no means a poor boxman. He equated Hargrove's number of strikeouts—six—and walked only one player. His teammates were not as steady or sensational, though, as were the "Sea-siders," and that, in short, tells the story of his and their defeat. Several times the visitors threatened to score. Their biggest chance came in the eighth, when Hargrove weakened and the bases became loaded. Two men were out, two strikes were on the batter, and three baserunners were ready to be off at the least semblance of a hit. Scott was on third and as Hargrove walked back to the box he tried to steal home, but was thrown out. In one lining Hargrove threw only three balls to retire the side, while in several others only three men faced him. Both teams put up a fine game as a whole. The line-up and score follow: HAMPTON.

Wilmington broke ice by getting a home run on an error by Huff, catcher for Wil伯力force, and it seemed as if Wil伯力force would be blanked, but in the third inning with one on base "Wu Fang Ward," the Babe Ruth of college baseball, knocked a home run, thus making the score two to one. In the fifth and 7th innings, Wil伯力force made runs that counted up to four. Williamson, pitcher for Wilmington college, struck out 15 men and allowed Wil伯力force seven hits Lewis, a southpaw, for Wil伯力force allowed four hits and struck out 5 men. "Wu Fang Ward" was the outstanding player. He knocked two home runs and scored one run ahead of him, and also got a two bagger out of three times at bat.

The affair marks the 21st anniversary of the A. P. C. C., with headquarters at 126 West 131st street. For many years this club has formed the social, athletic and recreational hub around which this community revolves and much of the present status in social club organization felt in the community, athletic development and recreational work in Harlem is the outgrowth of the influence of the A. P. C. C. The facilities for athletic and recreational activity are by no means commensurate with the demands of the rapidly increasing population. Hoards of young men and boys loitering on the street corners and in places of questionable amusement are similarly following the lines of least resistance and become easy victims of the vices and crimes of the city. The Alpha Physical Culture Club proposes to so increase the scope of their present program as to offer to every young man desiring wholesome leisure time activity a chance to obtain and hold onto the finer ideals of physical and mental health. Funds for the purpose of calling this program are solicited through public advertisements, membership and social advertisements such as the novaky spring dance, given under the auspices of the Auxiliary Committee of over 100 women, headed by Mrs. Edgar N. Parkin, through whom reservations may be made for boxes, loges and tickets by calling Bradhurst 4361, or to the following: Mr. Oscar Williams, phone Audubon 4322; Miss Antoinette Jackson, 718 West 138d street; Miss A.

HEAVY BATTING AT LINCOLN-HILLDALE GAME Hampton Institute Trounced "Hilltoppers" Tilden Calls West Tennis "Dubs" Brown Says East Tennis "Boobs" By EDGAR G. BROWN (1922-23 Colered World's Tennis Champion) HOW to Start the 1925 Tennis Season UP here on 135th street, in the heart of what New Yorkers like to call the greatest Negro Colony in the world, with nearly 200,000 people, there is a branch library apparently for the enlightenment of the brother. I applied at the desk for information as to the tennis books in. A search through the files by the white attendant (she looked Caucasian, it's getting pretty hard to tell), brought only a shake of the head and this startling explanation. "That is the first request for a tennis book I have ever had, and I have been here for five years." It only goes to show how intelligently interested the effete East has been during the vigorous onslaughts of Talley Holmes on the silver trophies of these parts. Three years ago this might have dazed me as a hopeless mental and physical inertia, but on the tiles of Y. M. C. A. library I have found an issue of the Indianapolis Recorder which has the ratings of the ten best Hoosier players of my old stamping ground, picked by Oscar Smith, who explains his findings are made in the light of each player's scientific attitude, court generalship and repertoire of strokes: big words for the once hopeless prince of patball pushers in that section. The wall in the gymnasium on Senate avenue did it. A most striking further observation is that nine of Smith's first ten use the modern American drive and hit the ball hard, while the tenth star has the prettiest little dinky cut you ever saw outside of Washington or Baltimore. I do believe he is trying to change though. So while the famous Mr. Tilden may find a number of tennis "Dubs" in the West, they are without apology graduating rapidly while the conservative East holds fast to its traditional 1870 moorings. It may appear to be rather "boobish," but why use libraries and read books to improve your game when the idolized champion has been seven years at the pinnacle heights of Negro tennis and an accumulation of some sixty cups without reading a line but just picking it up as he openly brags. YES, TILDEN'S NEW BOOK IS ONLY $4 AT ALL GOOD SPORTING GOODS HOUSES AND FREE AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES. It is unqualifiedly the best edited and most practical as well as advanced and entertaining treatise ever written on tennis. Any player who aspires to be a champion cannot afford to be without a copy any more than he or she can play good tennis with anything less than an A1 racquet. The season has opened; the prospective winners in July and August had better get on the courts every day of May and June and try not emulate my good Philadelphia friend who asked advice all Winter, then on the first day out started in beat his poor, helpless opponent and friend before either ad knocked a half dozen balls over the net. You cannot learn, develop or improve your game of tennis playing sets and matches the first month, much less the first three or four days. Buy a $15 racquet if you can afford it, with a medium sized handle. Avoid big handles. Read your chapter again on how to select a racquet. There are only a few pat ball artists of the submerged one-tenth who use a $5 racquet from season to season who think a restringing last September make their racquet O. K. for 1925. A goose should know better. The only cheap racquet I would consider possible for ladies and cophytes is E. Kent's $6 Lennox model. Then buy a box of alls through your school or "Y" at wholesale price. Take the whole lot with you out on the court with a sensible friend who wishes to improve his or her game. Start in the right court by first one serving a dozen balls to the same court, keeping each one in play as long as possible while advising your opponent to drive same to your back hand, so that you can perfect this absolutely necessary stroke. Do not count the score. Primarily you are trying to get length, pace and direction on your service. Get it down so well that ball No. 1 will go to your opponent's back hand and No. 2 to the forehand. Then reverse the program, letting your opponent serve from the left hand court and vice versa. Definite outlined practice for a month, will show up in the tournament comparable to three years of the ordinary Summer's Paul Revering and blustering about the court, unmindful of your lamentable sight in the eyes of the onlooker. Read, study, think, observe, imitate. Somehow get tennis form. It's easy if you start right. GILBERT FRASER 2263 7TH AVE., NEAR 133D ST.

The Darby team proved that they are still the champions, winning both games handily—the first by a score of 6-4 and the other, 12-9. The Lincoln were very much handicapped by the lack of good pitchers. John Taylor, their best pitcher, was used in the first game and practically the whole remaining pitching staff was used in the other. Nip Winters, Currie and Ryan did the honors for Hilldale.

FRANCIS. When the grounds of three of the five courts used by the Ideal Tennis Club were sold last Summer, to make way for the building of much needed apartment houses for our people, a critical tennis situation became decidedly acute. Colored tennis players in Harlem had been losing one or more courts every year through the building expansion in the neighborhood, yet, withal, the game became more popular, and interested more people as fans and players. At the end of the 1924 season it was found that only two courts would be available for the players during 1925. This condition, alarming as it was, was known to all players, and some rattle efforts were made to rectify the condition. However, information was given to us that Messrs. Everard Edmunds and L. E. Spooner, themselves tennis players, had secured a plot at 146 and 147th streets, between Saventh and Eighth avenues, on which construction of seven beautiful tennis courts have been started and are near completion. one asked us the question recently: "Why is the New York Tennis Association?" We will pass this on to that body for an answer; maybe they will answer by deeds this 1925 season. Those outside the realm of tennis activities may not know or realize what this means to the game of tennis in New York, and I might add the game in general, since what affects the popularity of the game in the big city affects the game the country over. But tennis fans and players know the importance of this achievement by Messrs. Edmunds and Spooner, and are breathing a deep sigh of relief over the alleviation of a situation in which they were foundering, with no apparent sign of help or encouragement. For several years the tennis situation in New York City had been going from bad to worse, so far as adequate courts are concerned, though the popularity of the same among our people was growing by leaps and bounds. Tennis is now classed as a major sport not only without the world. This is conclusively proven by the large entry for the competition in the Davis Cup matches. Among our people in New York the lack of courts has been a serious obstacle to our progress from eight courts in 1921 to two at the beginning of 1925 tells the story. As an addition to our troubles, no one could be found to lead the fight to better conditions and new would show any inclination to follow if a leader could be found. Suitable space in the neighborhood was hard to find, and, if found, other prohibitive as a laying proposition or impossible to put on a paying basis, if leased, due to the short cancellation charges put on the market in case of sale. No one wanted to be out of Harlem, for that matter. It is, therefore, easy to see, from this condition, that the acquisition of grounds at 1460th and 147th streets by Edmunds and Spencer lifted New York tends out of the depths of despair and disintegration. Since the news was handed to us about these courts we have been a frequent visitor, and are amazed at the venerous of the enterprise and the wonderful possibilities of the place and the splendid efforts that are being put forward to make it the best and largest in the metropolitan district controlled and played on by men and women of our race. This we should take particular pride in. We are told that the grounds will be officially opened on Saturday, May 14, and this will be made a gala event, at which prominent men and women of the race will be invited, also that some of the city officials are expected to be present. The general public will also be invited to attend. It is planned to have several exhibition matches between ranking players of both race, chief of which will be one between former National Champion E. S. Brown and one of the ranking white players. Mr. Brown, through his suspension during the 1924 season, could not defend his national title, and the old master, Talley Holmes of Worthington, arrains into his sora. We are told that Mr. Brown will locate in the East season and, by his suspension has been lifted by the American Tennis Association. we should see him in competition very often in the Big City. We have no hesitation in saying that the locality in which the former champion rests will benefit by his presence, so far as the tennis form is concerned; his game is ahead of the average colored player, even though he is been sometimes, and certainly is worth emulating. The New York Tennis Association awoke from a long Winter sleep recently, crawled out of his hose to see if Summer was here, and made up its mind to call a meeting and see if it was still an organization. Too bad the rating committee cannot be around out of their slumber and give us a rating of the New York players; we have had to wait for the season to begin. free of the five courts used by old last Summer, to make way added apartment houses for ouration became decidedly acute.

With Operations at Bacharach Giants' Ball Park. A new fight club, wherein the colored mitt pusher will get another chance, is being planned for Atlantic City. The new club expects to be ready for business the middle of this month and a well known matchmaker, we are told, will be in charge of this important end of affairs. An attempt will be made to feature mixed bouts at this club, which will stage the fights at the grounds of the Eacharach Giants. It will be known as the Commonwealth Athletic Club and bouts will be offered Friday or Saturday nights if arrangements go through as planned. We understand that the seating arrangements will call for a capacity of 12,000, which will make it possible for the officials to offer some of the best fighters. Located at New Caspian and Tennessee avenues, this new home of swat will be in an ideal position to draw fans as long as the cards carry the appeal to those who are today demanding the best little offerings. How About Bell? Ansel Bell, formerly Kid Buller, might as well be in the Antipodes, from which place he returned recently, so far as fighting is concerned. Bell has been back quite a while, but so far no effort has been made to present him in a fight at the Commonwealth, where he was a favorite. Ambeaxdory Score Big. The members of the Ambassador Social Club are elated over the splendid manner in which the publishes dance, dance and reception last week. The afkirk was well attended and these present had a most enjoyable time. The officers of the club are grateful for the support given the organization by their many friends and the general public. On account of the continued illness of "Damez" Jones, Andrew Copeland will be seen in the near future with another partner. Copeland and Jones were going nicely and had contracts covering a period of many months when Damez thrones found it impossible to continue. Capt. Henry Wilson is leaving no stone unturned to make this a gala affair of the season. On Wednesday night, May 29, at New Star Center, 107th street and Lexington green, Capt. says the Moonlight Shadow Dance will consist of many novelties featuring Phoebe Hinderston and his Renaissance Orchestra, to say nothing of the Charlotte concert. The judges are: Eric Smale, Malia Prager, Joseph Brown, Hinderston Christian, William R. Howlett, William F. Pitrikk and his boys, who know how to play and sing. McVEY AND K. O. KAPLAN TO MEET Loayza Most Favored Fighter Here Recently Hildale Takes First Tilt From Cuban Stars PHILADELPHIA, May 5—After getting away to a wobbly start, Halsey "Scrip" Lee, Hilldale submarine artist, turned in the second league game for the 1924 Eastern League champs by baffling Alex Krause of baffling at Hilldale afternoon matines at Hilldale Park, score 5 to 1. The boys from the island were playing their first engagement of the season on the soil of the States and apparently had not ridden a horse on the field-tracted en route. At that the invaders put up a nifty article of ball, especially on the defense. Their inability to hit the underhand skates served up by Lee really clitched the ground and bothered eight hits and six tallies from the offerings of elongated Martin Dihigo. CUBAN STARS. R. H. O. A.

Panama Joe Returns. Panama Joe Gana, one of the best mitteners in the game, returned last week from an extended trip and says he will be ready to meet the best in a few weeks. Larry Pistlidge preferred NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1925 Billiards, King of Indoor Sports Past, Present and Future Billiards, King of Indoor Sports Past, Present and Future *By OLD IVORY* (Third Installment—Continued From Last Week) There's a few essential points to be cleared up before we get any further, pertaining to the introduction of the present billiard table and the elimination of the first style of table. After the Phelan and Seeriter championship game, progress was noted by students of the game in the acquiring of what was then big scores, and in the early 60's the evolution in billiards began. First the three-ball carom billiards was played to some extent by experts, but still on a 6x12 six-socket table. Position play was unknown, even to the best players. Dudley Kavanaugh became American champion in 1863. In a match against Isadore Gayrand, first American champion, he reached an average of 14 190-100, run 11. In 1865 A. P. Rudolph, afterwards a champion, in a match game of 150 points against John Derry, reached the unheard of average of five. He had a wonderful high run of 30. That was top-notch billiards then, and remember, the old style was caroms, counting two or more, according to ball struck; pocketing was also counted. The present day billiardist can hardly conceive it. In the late 60's billiards got too fast as played by experts and an era of table limitations set in. First, the two side pockets were dispensed with, then all the pockets. In the early 70's the three-ball game as a professional game and the straight rail table supplanted the pocket table for billiards. The first championship tournament in America, three balls straight rail for the world's championship was held in New York in 1873. The entries were Albert Garnier, representing France; Cyrille Dion, representing Canada, and Maurice Daly, who is still active in billiards at Broadway and Stir street, representing America. The Frenchman won the play-ok. This high run of this tournament was in 1811, with a high average of 11.17 it was in this year that Jacob Schoefer, George Slosson began their almost less matches, which were played in various parts of the United States. It is very important to note in the progress of billiards the high score and average of these two players, who, in the years following, started the world with what appeared to be uncanny skill in their manipulation of the ivories.

With close students such as these continually studying angles and caroms, the high runs began to mount. Old Ivory desires to submit for your review students of the game who have progressed to the championship goal at straight rail billiards. It was in the late 70's that cushion carom billiards was introduced and lasted up in the 80's and a fine game it was—ball, cushion, ball. My fascination for this style of billiards was short-lived, for it soon passed out. Let us go back to the straight rail game and some of its progress which led up to it being discarded as a professional test. It was not only the skill of the players that brought out big runs and high averages, but also the improvement of the equipment and accessories to billiards: Tables with 14-inch slate, balanced cues of various weights to suit the muscles, cushions of good solid rubber, which goes to make the rebound of the ball almost perfect to a certain desired position, cloth of a hard finished firmness and texture peculiar to the accuracy of the player and satisfactory in perfect smoothness. For, be it known that the least foreign particle ever so small, coming in contact with the ivory ball, if not destroying the shot entirely as a scare and causing serious complaint from players. Chalk and cue tips are as one and must co-ordinate in order to get the best results. Chalk, soft and smooth: Tips of kid leather take chalk and don't get smooth or shiny so readily as the ordinary leather tip. Another very important factor in high class billiards is the modern lighting fixtures with their equal distribution of light. These are some of the most important things in the progress of billiards. Ivory? Yes, we do know, and will tell you something about it and its freaks. (Continued Next Week) Anna Jones Presenting B'klyn Kiddies at Lyceum Friday evening. May 15.

Theo. Hernandez and Peter J. White, formerly national 220 yd. dash champion and at present track mentor of the Salem Crescent Athletic Club, attended a testimonial dinner tendered to the Hon. Murray Hulbert, President Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, by the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. at the Hotel Pennsylvania last Saturday evening. Mayor Hylan and Congressman L. Guarda were among the speakers at the event, all of whom were one in landing the guest of honor for his thoroughness, and integrity as President of Board of Aldermen, Commissioner of Docks and as a member of the Board of Estimate and Appointment, as well as President of the A. A. U. It is noteworthy that Messra Hernandez and White, the only Negroes present, were cordially greeted by the Hon. Murray Hulbert, who manifested a decided and expressed satisfaction in seeing the Negro athlete represented in the persons of the members from the Orange and Black organization. The President of the National A. A. U. was presented with a $250 timepiece in token of the esteem of the Metropolitan Association.

Y. Of Anna Jones and 90 of Her Dancing Kiddies FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 15TH ADMISSION The Male by Van Dyke Pictures RAGTIME JAZZ PIANO PLAYING The fight was a vicious affair from the tap of the first gong on, with Palesio having the upper hand. He spit Loayza's lip, closed his left eye tight, and drew blood from his nose with a speedy l杰ab that could not be dodged. Loayza fought gamely, and forced the fighting most of the way, but never was even close to the clever westerner. How the judges arrived at the verdict, the worst given in many a moon, cannot be figured. Loayza weighed 134½, and Paluso was 133. Shelier Bettles to Draw. Bobby Shelier, of the Bronx, and Buck Arbuckle, of San Francisco, fought a working draw in the seminal event, also listed over the 12-round distance. The local entry was the more clever of the pair, but the westerner, with a steady attack and unabashed aggressiveness, fought so valiantly that he cornea a tie decision. Shelier welged 154 and Arbuckle was 145. George Cuneo, of the West Side, had little trouble in hammering out a one-sided victory, over Imanella Playatell, of the Philippine islands. The Oriental absorbed a bad beating, but took it with a show of courage, and never once stopped trying to bring a crusher across. Cuneo weighed 120, and his victim was two pounds heavier. Arte Bloom, of the East Side, weighing 183 pounds, used up just 1.17 minutes of the first round in the 1988 U.S. Gas House district, in the scheduled four-session curtain raiser.

Sailing this morning on the steamship "Arabic" will be forty-three colored performers headed for Europe, where it is expected they will play engagements that will start in Berlin and end in one of the big capitals between three and four months from this date. Miss Lottle Gee, well known in the profession and who starred successfully with "Shuffle Along" and the "Chocolate Dandles," will head the female contingent of the aggregation. The work laid out for these people is along the revue lines, and it is said that Arthur Lyons, who is responsible for the move, will be returning to get together another batch of colored performers to appear in England within the next few months. Down, Moses, such expressions of wittful resignation as "Bye an' Bye' and 'Steal Away,' but also such joyously abandoned melodies as "I'll Be a Witness' and 'Joshua Fie de Battle of Jericho,' and the sardonic, secular humor of 'Scandalize My Name.' The beauty of these simple songs of the Negro people is celebrated the world over. I have listened to no other interpreters who so vividly reveal this If the plans as laid out to the writer some weeks ago go through as planned today, Mr. Lyons is vindicated considering the many adverse comments occasioned by his withdrawal from the "Club Alabama." Recently he went into court with one of his leading performers and won out. So far as we can see, it is good that these performers are able to take advantage of the opportunity for the European trip, as things have not been breaking as nicely in the theatrical game for some of our people as in the past. Among the more well-known artists making the trip will be Greenlee and Drayton, the Three Eddles, Strut Payne. Lyons told the writer some months ago that this move would be made, and now there is nothing else we can do but believe that the genial Arthur comes pretty near knowing what he is doing. In spite of the hateful things said by certain of his cronies, who, from all appearances, are much less considered in the theatrical world than he is. Folk Songs Sung by Robeson and Brown at Greenwich Village Theatre Most Cordial Reception by Cultured Audience When Colored Artists Appeared on Sunday Night. Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown repeated their program of Negro music on Sunday evening at the Greenwich Village Theatre with even greater success than the preceding Sunday. The reception by the cultured audience was the most cordial imaginable. At the conclusion of the program the audience just sat there, and it was not until the two artists had sung four more spirituals that it rose to go. In these days when folksongs are so much the rage until they have become almost like cheap popular songs, it was refreshing to hear them as sung by Robeson, with Brown, the accompanist, sometimes acting as solist. There was a rugged interpretation of them which savored of the soil from which they originally sprung. Several of the selections, as "Little David, Play on Your Harp," "Sandalize My Name," "Ery Time I Feel de Spirit" and "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho," had to be repeated. The audience simply clamored for them. Carl Van Vechten, one of the leading critics of America, rightly says of the work of Robeson and Brown: To those who are accustomed to hear Negro spirituals delivered in a sanctimonious, lugubrious manner, or jet worse, with the pseudo-refinement of the vowel concert singer, the evangelical, true Negro rendering of Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown will come as a delightful surprise. It is the avowed purpose of Paul Robeson, and of Lawrence Brown, as the arranger of those folksongs, to restore, so far as they are able, the spirit of the original primitive interpretation to these spirituals. In realizing this purpose, which apparently no other public singer has litherto entertained, they have markedly successful. Again recognizing the unquestioned industry of the performance, their audience will doubtless exhibit considerable amusement over the degree of variety that these two young Negroes have been able to introduce into their all-Negro programs, which include not only such proud, tragic utterances as "No ```markdown ``` ners, Headed by Sailing for Europe ord and in Spite of Adverse High With Plans Formed With "Club Alabama" the steamship "Arabic" will be headed for Europe, where engagements that will start the big capitals between three te. Down, Mones, such expressions of wistful resignation as 'Hye an Bye' and 'Steal Away', but also such joyously abandoned melodies as 'Till Be a Witness' and 'Joshua Fie de Battle of Jerloch', and the sardonic, secular humor of 'Soundalize My Name.' The beauty of these simple songs of the Negro people is celebrated the world over. I have listened to no other interpreters who so vividly reveal this beauty. At the present moment I believe I'd rather hear Robson and Brown sing that quantify charming air, 'Little David, Play on Your Harp,' than hear any one else sing anything." The selections as sung Sunday night were arranged by Harry Burleigh, Avery Robinson, T. Rosamond Johnson and Lawrence Brown himself. High Praise for "Classmates" West Point Adjutant Says Barthelmess Drama Is Absolutely Accurate The West Point and Army atmosphere in Dick Barthelmess' new First National picture, "Classmates." which comes to the Franklin Theatre this Sunday and Monday. is strictly accurate-you may rely upon the West Point authorities personally as to that point. Never before had the more or less sacred confines of the United States Military Academy been invaded by a movie colony, and when finally the red tape was cut for Burthelmess to film some scenes there in "Classmates" the authorities demanded this one stipulation - accuracy. And that is one novel distinction regarding "Classmates." It is the first film whose scenes actually were laid at the famous military school. Once they were assured that there would be no exaggeration of West Point's traditions the military authorities there threw the entire resources of the institution at the disposal of the Barthelness company. Major Henry H. Lewis, adjutant of the school, suspended routine duties in order to supervise the filming of the scenes, from a strictly West Point and military viewpoint. "The Military Academy is backing the production with all its might and main," said the adjutant when interviewed in New York. "Not only was I detailed to work with Mr. Bartheleme, Director Robertson and their technical staff on behalf of the academy, but the continuity was carefully studied and suggestions made which corrected some of the military details that were somewhat in error. These suggestions were not only adopted by the company, but were courted. The completed photoplay is tru to West Point and army life and a most engrossing entertainment besides."

Henderson's Original Roseland Orchestra THE BAND Making Their Last Spring Appearance on Board the Famous "Moonlight Ship." Leaving New Star Casino, With Captain Henry Wilson on the Bridge, Wednesday Night, May 20 Miller and Lyles Presenting Farce at the Lafayette Next Week Irvin Miller Here With His "Broadway Rastus" for One Week Only as Contracts Call Him Away. We have just spent an hour writing an article, but a little angel has whispered over our shoulder to let that article rest until another day. Whether that day will be in the immediate future we know not, as life is indeed a funny proposition and we must continue to go along with the stream for a while until we get ready to breast the current and return up stream. This, we realize, is all Greek to the unwary, but what's the difference? There are those who sow in Bennie Butler's article an attack on the Lafayette Theatre and for more than a week we have been trying to see where Butler attacked the management and have not as yet succeeded. Be that as it may, Messrs. Miller and Lyles will present a farce at the Lafayette next week entitled "Pudden Jones" and we are sorry we have no advance information of what it is all about. If it is good as "The Flat Below," something the boys did out of their usual line some time ago, then "Pudden Jones" should meet with success. Irvin Miller has returned with "Broadway Ratsus" and pulled a good Monday night opening. Of course, considering what has gone before to accomplish such is nothing unusual for Irvin, especially when one looks back on the "Lenten Days" and other times, which it is our intention to speak of soon. Rastus has come to us minus many of the things which surrounded him in brighter days, but Irvin has retained enough from his many other shows to put together something that brings forth many laughs. A fellow scribe suggested that we compliment Irvin for not dragging in the graveyard scene again. Rastus, as he appears to us, is a very chanctened individual, as he has been cut down to about 21, but we are told by those wise in the ways of the theatre that this is good business acumen and those who saw "Broadway Rastus" before will agree with Irvin Miller that it is good policy to prune your show to meet the demands of towns other than New York, which is the biggest hick town of them all. everything being considered. The show should do a fine week while here. Miller is one of the luckiest individuals to come into the Lafayette and we have seldom seen him doing any less than those he follows into the house. It will not take much of an effort on his part to beat everything seen at the Lafayette for months, and it will be a source of great pleasure to him to learn that while he might not pack them in any less, if he fails to hit it big, accruing will be miles away from those "others," as his show is constructed on a plane which will make it easy for Irwin to continue to smile, while any such thing on the part of the "others" will cause excruciating pain. Dar, Now! "Y" Boys' Camp to Benefit From Successful Affair Like most affairs of its kind staged recently, the reception and dance staged at Manhattan Casino last Friday night in behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association Boys' Camp went over big, and everybody connected with the affair is perfectly satisfied. It is indeed refreshing to note the new spirit being aroused among colored people in supporting affairs of this kind. Heretofore many receptions and dances staged with the sole purpose of benefiting a few individuals with a desire to steer clear of work had first call on the crowd, but recently our charitable affairs have been coming in for their share, and this is as it should be. It was one of the best gatherings of the season that turned out to this "I" affair, and again we have the extreme pleasure of rising to compliment the ladies making up the Harry Austin Committee for the aplidid work they did in putting the big event over. Everything went over as planned, and even now the comments being heard by those fortunate enough to have been on hand are most complimentary. PULLMAN PORTERS will soon be singing—or praying—on airplanes now being constructed by the company for transcontinental flights. (Beau Broadway in Telegraph.) Paul Robeson, Negro actor, was not made an honorary member of the Dutch Treat Club the other day, because, as George B. Mallon, president of the club, explained, "an incident occurred just before luncheon. in which one of our southern members was concerned, which led me to believe that if I put the usual proposal to a vote something might have occurred which would have caused embar rassment to our guest. They tell a story of the time Maurice Barrymore encountered one of those professional southerners who wear string ties and rise when the band plays Dixie. He crossed verbal swords at dinner with Maurice and, of course, was worsted. He voiced his resentment at being bellied before the other diners, "especially when yo-all owe me money." "That's true," said Barrymore, "I do owe you money. I owe every man and woman at this table money; but it takes a son of a something/orother like you to mention that fact." The gentleman with the string tie leaned across the table, the veins protruding like whipcords on his brow. "If Ah had yo' down south o' th' Mason an' Dixon line, sur." he shouted, "and yo'all repeated that remark. Ah'd hi yo'all so full o' lead you'd be wuth a dollar a pound!" "Well, my dear chap," said Barrymore graciously, "if your mother's virtue is a question of geography, what do you say if we have another drink?" NORFOLK. Va., May 4.—The dramatic world must again welcome a successful unit in "The Playera' Guild," an offspring of Howard University dramatic department. Without a dissenting voice, the public at large proclaims this aggregation as the best of its kind south of the District of Columbia. The group is directed by Miss Evelyn A. Lightner, who was connected with the dramatic department of Howard University in the capacity of costume designer. The group recently scored a success in "Thais" at the Attucks Theatre here.

Race Should Have Own Hall of Fame Plan for Community Betterment Discussed at Dinner Plans for community betterment for the year were laid at the first annual dinner given by the officers and members of the Calvary Community Forum, 160th street and Edgecombe avenue. Monday evening. Dr. Charles A. Butler, speaking as president of the forum, said that among the objects aimed at by the forum would be agitation for a colored magistrate; two or more colored doctors for Hariem Hospital; the support of Frederick Donglass for the Hall of Fame; cheaper rents, cleaner and better-fitted halls and vestibules, and the encouragement of Negro artisas in all lines. "We need to give more encouragement to our singers, writers and others," he said. "The real soul of music of our race is being lost. Our colored artists receive greater applause downtown than in Harlem. Medicore singers and musicians are giving recitals downtown, all of which are helping to stall us. This forum endorses most heartily Frederick Douglas for the hall of Fame. But we should go further than that. We should have our own Hall of Fame. Every noted Negro should be modelled in clav and put in the libraries and other places as an inspiration to our youth." Other speakers delivering short addresses were: Hon. W. Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Pa., the guest of the evening; Dr. and Mrs. Binga Diamond, Dr. Chan, Green, Chas, Allison, probation officer; James N. Hubert of the Urban League; Thomas E. Taylor, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; John M. Royall, C. E. Mitchell, Fred R. Moore, Wm. Lloyd, Rev. J. N. C. Coggin, pastor of Mt. Calvary I. M. Church, and others. Miss Ruby Mason sang several solos. "Negro's Good Qualities Overlooked in South" Channing Tobias, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A., addressed students of the College of the City of New York in the symposium on the question of race last week. "Only in the South is the group hatred of the Negro prevalent," Mr. Tobias said. "There one does not take into consideration the good qualities of any of the black men. Their whole race is held in contempt, and unpunished lynchings and atrocities only serve to keep alive the spirit of hatred of the black man in the Southern breast. The white man there sets bonds over which the Negro may not dare to stop." "The South wants the Negro to keep in his equalled condition. They look with contempt upon him, and think his dirty hovel is suited for his kind. Any attempt to better oneself by a colored man is looked at seance by the Southerner and is promptly squelched. Negro ambition has no outlet." The economic magazine known as the Nouthpiece has been taken over by Fred. R. R. Williams, who will conduct it along its present policy and function an editor-in-chief.

Again! Robeson-Brown Recital BY MARK WHITMARK BY MARK WHITMARK. In the beginning God created heaven and earth, made Adam and the rest of us out of dust and threw the pattern away. Paul Robeson he made out of an entirely new pattern. Oh, yes, Robeson is human. He is renowned as an athlete. He is one of the outstanding actors on the American stage today, but to see him on Seventh avenue you wouldn't think it. Paul Robeson, attorney-at-law. Doesn't that grate on your ear. Well, what's what he is, too. Paul Robeson is everything you, at first sight, think he is not. And he can sing. If there is any man on earth I envy, it is this same Paul Robison, Big, guant, bow-legged Paul Robison, to whom has been given your and my share of talent and whose remarkable mind has not yet been taxed. Athlete, actor, lawyer, singer. What a combination! A regular jack of all trades, and good at all. I missed the first two numbers of the Robison-Brown recital in the Greenwich Village Theatre, Sunday night, due to my wife's notion that we could leave Harlem at 8.30 and arrive at the Greenwich Village Theatre. Seventh avenue and Fourth street, at 8.30 the same evening. Then when we did finally get into our seats, she said: "We only missed two numbers." Under such circumstances, I suppose I was lucky to get there at all. The program announced that "It is the avowed purpose of Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown to restore, as far as they are able, the spirit of the original primitive interpretation" of the spirituals. They not only did this, but they raised songs, which many of us but a few years ago did not care to hear, to a higher degree of artistry than they have ever enjoyed before. They were pure, unadulterated. Robeson's voice is big, deep, round and flexible. He sings with his whole body and soul. And when he sang of "flying around heaven." I foolishly looked for wings to sprout beyond control when the last number on the program, "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho," was sung. They fought for more again and again and got more. Their appetite for the singing of Robeson and Brown seemed insatiable. The house was packed. Lawrence Brown. it will be remembered, is the young composer-pianist who recently came back from England, after a stay of four years, during which time he played before the King and Queen of England and other members of the nobility. Leviticus Lyon to Make Debut Leviticus Lyon, tenor soloist of St. Mark's M. E. Church, will make his first appearance in the concert field in a recital at Grace Congregational Church, Sunday, May 10, at 4 P. M. Mr. Lyon has studied voice with such artists as Gulla Ormay and Ernst Wilhelmy. He is well known in oratorio and is an accurate interpreter of the classics, ancient and modern, combining the artistry of the inborn musician with a beauty of tone that is sympathetic, adaptable and of a wide range. He is equally at home with Wagner, Sullivan or Coleridge Taylor; ballads of the earlier or the later types, Beethoven or Handel, Ball or Burleigh, each and all furnish him with material suitable for the building of the vehicle with which to carry the beauty of song and of life to his audience. Combining with his talents a rare personality, a thorough knowledge of the liberal arts, and an abounding experience with the world of men, women and letters, he is at once delightful as artist and connoisseur and supremely engaging from the viewpoint of personal friendly contact. Those attending his concert Sunday afternoon may well look forward to a rare treat. 4834C34 Mr. Lyon will be accompanied by Lawrence Brown, who in fresh from his triumphs in Europe, where he played before the King and Queen of England and others of the nobility. W. C. Handy, known as the "father of the blues," and a composer, will give a concert at the Greenwich Village Theatre on Sunday evening, May 17. Handy's Band and Minstrels will combine the old-fashioned minstrel show with jazz and "Charleston." Blues of the true Mississippi quality will be offered to the serious students of folk song and folklore.

Prof. R. Grant Training Chorus Prof. R. Grant Training Chorus Citizens of Westchester County to Take Part in Music Week Celebration One of the outstanding features of the Westchester County Music Festival, which will be held under a large tent auditorium on the Bronx Parkway at White Plains on May 14th, 15th and 16th, will be the singing of spirituals by a chorus of colored citizens of Westchester County. Mr. Rudolf Grant, organist and choir master of Salem M. E. Church of New York City, is conductor for this unit. Mr. John D. Rockefeller has made a donation to the Recreation Commission of Westchester County to be used toward recreation for colored people. The Commission has used this sum to secure this director and to establish this activity as a permanent organization. At present there are about one hundred and fifty voices rehearsing each week. One group meets at Mount Vernon and its environs as well as New Rochelle and White Plains. The second weekly meeting is held at School No. 6, Ashburton Ave. Yonkers, on Wednesday evening. This location gives the people living in the Hudson River Valley an opportunity to join the choral. The enthusiasm for this activity has been most gratifying. Every member responds to the direction of Mr. Grant with the most satisfying result of wonderful harmony in the rendition of selections. Chas. Lewis, Pianist, to Play for Y.M.C.A. Charles Lewis, noted pianist, of the Fiske University School of Music and member of the West 135th Street Young Men's Christian Association, will take part in the Young Men's Christian Association celebration of Music Week.

The program will begin at 3 P.M. with a radio interview with Leonard Liebling, prominent music critic, by Terese of WGBS followed by vocal and piano selections. Miss Maeclene Hulsizer, lyric soprano, will give an interesting program of old-fashioned songs, as will also Miss Ellen Rodney, who was leading lady in Tony Sarg's Marionettes on the Chautauqua Circuit. Francis P. Lamphear of the 23rd Street Young Men's Christian Association will broadcast a talk on "The Appreciation of Music." The Detra Male Chorus was on the air over radio station WOR.

Si Briant, Health Clown, Visits Harlem Skirks of laughter resounded throughout the Renaissance Theatre, 7th Avenue between 137th and 138th Streets, last Saturday morning, when almost 1,000 school children, at the invitation of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, came to hear Bi Briant, the Association's health entertainer. Mr. Briant, who has had more than 30 years' experience in entertaining children, is now utilizing his professional skill in teaching simple but highly important rules of personal hygiene to school children. His performance consists of banjo playing, singing, tricks with milk, ventriloquism and a health Punch and Judy show—all dear to the hearts of children. The particular value of this method is that it teaches the children by the introduction of positive precepts and not by imposing "don'ts." VIRGIN ISLANDERS BOAST OF.OLDEST SHIP (Columbian Press Bureau. CHRISTIANSTHED. — Virgin Islanders of this port are proud of the fact that their harbor is the home of the oldest American vessel about, the "Vigilant," whose American history, it is said, goes back fully 150 years. The "Vigilant," of whom her present captain says "She is still a sweet and perfect sailor," was once owned by a generation of sea pilates. Later, she was used in legitimate American trade, after which she plied between St. Croix and Porto Rico as a carrier of the famous bay rum made by Virgin Islands natives. At present she is engaged in the humble duty of picking up odd traffic and carrying cattle between Virgin Islands ports and Porto Rico.

May 4.—In 1914 Rev. J. M. Hoggard was assigned to the St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion Church, then located on Monmouth street, with a membership of about 63 persons. No deed could be found of the property and the church was in a dilapidated condition. A deed was soon recurred and recorded and the present pastor remained in the church edifice about two years. After this period the pastor moved his flock to the hill section of Jersey City and rented a hall, where they worshipped. Rev. Hoggard purchased the present property on Communipaw avenue, between Bergen avenue and the boulevard. in what is known as the Bergen section. The amount of $7,000 was paid for the plot of ground, 100 feet square, with a nice seven-room house on it containing modern improvements. The property was fully paid for in the course of two years. In 1820 plans for the new church were drawn, but, of account of the high cost of building material, only the basement of the new church was built, at a cost of $35,000. On March 16, 1825, work on the auditorium was started. The church, when completed, will cost about $105,000. The membership has steadily increased and each department of the church is becoming well organized. The choir, under Madam Anna M. Harper, is rendering fine music; the Christian Endeavor holds very interesting meetings and is attended by many young people.

Nelson Williams, Executive Secretary of the Harlem League, was the speaker at the Junior Church. Dr. Brown preached in the Main Auditorium, using as his subject "Thing I Thing I Do." He referred to the present as the day of specialists the time when each one should specialize in some one thing. He assigned as the reason of the many failures in business projects, the attempt to do too many things at a time. He referred to the noble accomplishments of those of the past, and noted that it was because of the singleness of purpose that had inspired them that they proved a success. His final application of the principle of one thing at the time was brought home to the members of Mother Zion Church in their determination to continue the construction work of the new church until it is finally completed. This, he declared, calls for a concentration of purpose. The accomplishment of this work will be the crowning success of all the efforts of the interested membership. Among the friends who sent donations to the Building Fund were the Duncan Brothers, check for $250—their first installment of a pledge of five hundred dollars, and a check from Mr. A. C.

"Upon the authority of the Scriptures, I deny the claim that human life has always existed," said Pastor Strachan last Sunday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-108 West 127th street. The pastor was discourning upon the theme "The Origin and Destiny of Human Life." Speaking further, the pastor said: "I may not be scientific in this claim; I may not be in accord with modern philosophical speculations regarding the origin, nature and destiny of things; but when I say six thousand years ago man dropped from the hand of his Maker, never having existed before in any form anywhere else in the universe, I am backed up by the unerring testimony of the holy Scriptures."

Church Sunday was Communion Day at Salem church. Rev. F. A. Cullen, the pastor, officiated morning and evening, administering the sacrament to over 700 communicants. The morning discourse was about faith. Peter's experience on the Sea of Galilee as narrated in St. Matthew, 14.25, afforded the pastor an opportunity to discuss faith as an indispensable quality in the Christian religion. A faltering faith he asserted often turns an imminent victory into a defeat. The first Sunday service at the Lyceum was well attended. Mrs. Nannie Taylor, the chaplain, led the congregation in the "Strong Conviction and Real Courage" as displayed in the life of Daniel. Mrs. Lucille Waller and W. McKinley Woods sang solos. For the evening consideration Rev. Cullen talked about the manifestations of religion. This topic was taken from Nicodemus' conversation with Christ. A big event at the church was the reception and banquet tendered the young people of the church by Rev. Cullen on Thursday evening. An evening of amusement followed by a big supper was heartily enjoyed by nearly 1:0 members of the younger set present. Rev. Cullen explained that this was part of his plan to hold the interest of the young people to the church. In the course of his remarks he urged them to make prayer the keystones of their lives and to shun vigorously the alluring temptations of youth that are so harmful to their moral and religious fibre. In response these young people pledged themselves to take an active part in the prayer service at least once a month. Prof. Nelson Williams, secretary of the Harlem League of the Federation of Churches, one of the invited guests, expressed his admiration of the earnestness and fine spirit of the young people adding that it was all due in no small measure to the fact that Rev. Cullen mastered the key to the hearts of his young people. N. Y. Urban League Notes. Convalescent Work Beau.

LOVE AND TRUTH PHOTOGRAPHY WEDNESDAY, PRIEST, 1 M. FEDERAL heating at each meeting, noon M. FEDERAL heating at each meeting, noon (Queens) Attorney General of M. K. A.) Twenty Years of Missions in Rhodesia By W. W. REID The story of the growth of the missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Rhodesia, Africa, during the past twenty years is one of the most remarkable in the history of that church's work in foreign lands. In 1904 the now venerable Bishop Joseph Hartzell wrote that he had baptized during that year two young men who had been with the mission five years and who had given proof of the Christian life. Thirty-five persons were baptized during that year. During the year 1924, according to the reports made to the Board of Foreign Missions in New York, 022 persons were baptized. Three hundred twenty-nine of these were children brought to the mission by native Christian parents. In 1924 the annual report said, "Christianity has touched but it life the mature and the aged. This youth are eager for the school and the church. Those young people on becoming Christians have peculiar hardships to face intensified by the heaten atmosphere of their kraals." superstition and fear and many of the distinctly heathen customs and beliefs are being abandoned under the impact of enlightenment. new convert finds himself surrounded by those who understand his temptations and are ready to help him." In the last report made by the Rev. W. C Gardner, of Old Umtall, he says, "Today we find the mature and the aged honoring the church, an occasional individual with gray hair seeking the fellowship of the church. But of greater significance is the change in the atmosphere of the two hundred kraals and centers where our native workers are either stationed or go with the Christian message. Though the followers of Christ are faced with temptation in its peculiar African forms, a Christian standard of conduct is displacing Baptists in East Begin Big Drive With $5,000 as the slogan and every department of the convention budgeted, the program committee of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention held a meeting of much importance at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church in this city the early part of the week. The Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mount Olivet, gave the members a cordial welcome. President J. C. Jackson presided and Rev. Drs. D. S. Klugh and F. M. Hedgehog,ording and corresponding secretaries,actively, shared the work of outlining the program, subjects and speakers. The financial drive for funds with which to erect dormitory buildings for Northern University at Rahway, N. J., held the close attention of the committee for nearly three hours. The meeting resulted in the line-up of States and churches as follows: New York and New Jersey, $3,000 each; Pennsylvania, $4,500; Maryland, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, $2,000 each; Connecticut, $1,500; the Women's Con- vention, $1,000; the Sunday School guilds, $1,000; the Girl's guilds, $500 each; the Baptist Young People's Union, $500; the State of Delaware, $200. This budgeting totals $22,000. Every pastor, superintendent and B. Y. P. u. President is requested to stress the importance of this matter in their meetings. The school at Rahway is already functioning. More room is needed to accommodate the large number of young people within the convention's territory who wish to attend their own denominational institute. R. E. Boddle, of N. Rochelle, N. Y., to the presi- mers; A. J. Payne, of Maryland, to the secretary, and Dr F. M. Hodgman, corresponding secretary of the entire body, is co-operating with all branches of this convention with the aim of accomplishing the de- dired results. The Stat annual meeting of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention will be held with the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., for five days, beginning on Tuesday, June 16, with the session of the Sunday School Convention. The Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, president of the general body, is giving full time to every detail of the plans for the coming session.

On the Mrewa District of Rhodesia there was only one Methodist missionary twenty years ago. Today there are eight missionaries and fifty-two African pastors and teachers working in the same territory. At Old Umtail there are today four schools with an enrollment of 360 pupils. For one of these schools is for the training of young men and women and preachers; one is for married women; and the third is a night school for boys who spend their days on the farm. One of the outstanding mission developments in Rhodesia during the past twenty years has been the Methodist Mission Press for which a new building has just been erected and a modern drum-cylinder press installed for book work. Two hundred Christian hymns have been translated, set to music and printed in African dialects. On this press a large number of tracts and booklets have been printed and coloured are going out into hundreds of native villages spreading gospel portions and other Christian literature. In all Rhodesia the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church has twenty-six missionaries and the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the same denomination has twelve. Four native Christians have been ordained as pastors. There are seventy-five unordained native pastors and exhorters. There are 5,500 members of the church in addition to 1,857 baptized children not yet received into membership. There are 101 Sunday schools with total are 104 churches and seventy-three paramagages.

PLAZA 1730 NELVE Anti-Lynching Crusade to Be Pushed to Limit Interracial Commission, in Annual Meet, Makes This One of Chief Objectives MANY OTHER PLANS Encouraging Progress Reported From All Parts of South-The Press Cooperates Heartily 一 ATLANTA, Ga. — An intensive anti-lynching campaign, the promotion of the study of race relations in colleges and schools, and efforts for more adequate school facilities, better housing and general welfare of the colored people of the South, were among the major objectives set for the coming year by the Southern Commission on Interracial Co-operation in a three-day session here. Sixty representative men and women of both races — bishops, secretaries of great church boards, educators, Y.M.C.A. executives, business and professional men, and women prominent in church and club circles — were present from all over the South, all the States except Arkansas being represented. Notable Colored Personnel. The colored membership of the Commission was represented by Bishop Robert E. Jones, Bishop George C. Clament, Mrs Booker T. Washington, President of the National Council of Women of the Darker Races; Mrs. Mary McLeod Betheau, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Mrs. R. R. Moton, Dr. and Mrs. John Hope, Dr. Isaac Fisher, Mrs. H. L. McCrory, and Mrs. R. W. Willinson, all of whom contributed to the program. Miss Eva Bowles of New York and Mrs. M. L. Crosthwaite of Nashville were elected to membership on the Commission. There were present visitors a number of distinguished colored leaders, among them being Bishop R. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. George E. Haynes of the Federal Council of Churches, Dr. A. M. Townsend of the National Baptist Convention, and Dr. Monroe Work of Tuskegee Institute. Lynching Holds Center of Stage. The Commission's keenest interest was centered on the necessity of making an early end of the lynching habit, which has been decreasing at a rapid rate during the last three years. The marked decrease in lynching was ascribed largely to the mobilization of Southern women against it, to the condemnation voiced almost unanimously by the press and to special anti-lynching legislation in certain States. The Commission determined to push the crusade more vigorously than ever, by appeals to Governors, Sheriffs and other law-enforcement officers, by efforts to secure additional legislation in certain States, by personal intervention in case of threatened lynchings, and by the cultivation, through the press and in every other way possible, of such a public sentiment as will no longer tolerate mob murder. College Groups Seeking Truth. Dr. T. J. Wootter of the Commission's headquarters staff reported that courses in race relations are being given in alixy white degree in the South, and that there are also numbers of voluntary student discussion and interracial forum schools doing fine work. The Commission expressed keen interest in this development and recommended that it be encouraged and promoted. Clark. Foreman, secretary of the Georgia Interracial Committee, told of recent investigations of local housing projects in Chicago, St. and New York and cuttled slans now under way for similar projects in the South. The Commission gave hearty approval feeling that such a movement would meet an acute and long-felt need in many communities. The suggestion was made that a national foundation be created for the annual award of a worthy prize to that person making the most important contribution in the realm of race relations. The plan was enthusiastically received and will be worked out, if possible. It was felt that such awards would greatly stimulate the movement for right racial adjustments. Encouraging Reports. Encouraging results, were reported from nearly all quarters. J. D. Burton told of fine education, successful campaign against crime in Memphis, and reorganization of the interracial work in Alabama, with especially notable results in Mobile and Selma. From Texas, Mrs. Jessie Daniel Annes reported the effective efforts of interracial committees in preventing a threatened race riot in one critical situation and in allaying narrow friction in another, in addition to the usual work along the lines of Negro education, community betterment etc. Mrs. Mrs. P. C. McGowan, Chairman, reported that a favorable attitude toward the war in South Carolina, where she has recently organized a number of committees and delivered addresses on race relations before many important groups. R. W. Miles spoke for Virginia and North Carolina, where, in addition to the usual program, the interracial committees are making a special study of housing conditions with a view to improvement through legislation and otherwise. Mr. Miles noted, also, a most encouraging change of sentiment in Mississippi, as indicated by the recent building of splendid colored high schools in Natcher, Jackson and Meridian, and by the quarter-million-dollar school building program recently set up in Coonan County. Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville told of effective efforts for better Negro schools in Kentucky and reported a recent case in which the prompt action of interracial groups prevented a threatened lynching, Prof. Leo. M. Favrot of Louisiana told of good work in New Orleans. Shreveport and Lake Charles, as well as by the State committee, and announced plans for organization at five new points. Press Co-operates. R. B. Elcazar, director of publicity, reported widespread and cordial co-operation on the part of the press, and exhibited clippings showing that the Commission's news service is being used in 450 papers throughout the nation, with an aggregate circulation of more than 10,000,000. It is believed that the number actually using this service is two or three times as large as those depicted in Dr. M. Ashby Jones of Atlanta was re-elected chairman of the Commission and Dr. Will W. Alexander continues as director of the work. ELEVATOR PLUNGES 5 FLOORS—MAY DIE As a result of injuries sustained when an elevator in which they were riding at 87 Hamilton places plunged from the fifth floor to the basement Friday.

V., May 4.—Dave Jones, aged 25 years, was killed instantly when he lost his balance and fell from the 18th street viaduct of the Norfolk & Western Railroad here Friday afternoon. Venereal Diseases IIL - THE COST IN HEALTH It is hard to measure the cost of venereal diseases in money. It is even more difficult to give an accurate idea of the damage they do when that damage is to be defined in terms of individual and national health. In a previous article of this series, it was said that the money cost of venereal diseases for six years ending with 1924 amounted to a minimum charge of $25 for every man, woman and child in the country. Any attempt to explain the cost in health, however, is hampered by the absence of such definite units of measurement as the recognized values represented by dollars and cents. And yet it may safely be said that injury to health is the worst effect of syphilis, gonorrhea and chaneroid, for it is from this ill-health that the economic burdens of these diseases largely arise. We have noticed that the money cost of venereal disease falls without favor upon the sick and the well, the rich and the poor, the innocent and the guilty. So, too, do syphilis and gonorrhea take their in health from all who become infected and who, through ignorance or foolhardy bravado, neglect to put themselves under the care of a competent physician or an official public clinic. In all cases venereal diseases will pave the way for physical degeneration and suffering, unless they are promptly checked by extended treatment under reputable medical or clinical care. The old notion that gonorrhea is no worse than a bad cold has been routed by an onslaught of facts. Gonorrhea may cause blindness or it may lead to gonorrheal rheumatism, which in turn may cause heart disease. Dr. John H. Stokes, of the Mayo Clinic, is responsible for the statement that one-third of the blindness in asylums, and one-half of the blindness dating from birth, is due to gonorrhe of the eye. An analysis of the statistics of the Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind shows 1,020 cases of blindness admitted to the school in 30 years. The number of blindness cases or 28 per cent, were due to gonorrheal infection. It has been estimated that there are at least 20,000 cases of blindness from this cause in the United States. The tragedy of it all is that most of these cases date from birth. Cold statistics cannot convey the immensity of the injustice. Ask says, "One has to see one of these little children rocking back and forth in a railed-in chair, and watch the baby groping about on the floor, gurgling as it feels your shoe strings, really to know in the soul of him what gonorrhea means." Much of the surgery performed on the repaired nose is needed by gonorrhea. Often such women can never have children, and in some cases death or lifelong invalidism has been the result of such infection. The Indiana State Board of Health says, "Gonorrhea is directly responsible for a majority of the appallingly great number of abdominal operations on women, and for a very large percentage of all so-called female troubles. The woman is usually an innocent victim of the husband's earlier indulgences and his incomplete cure. In men, gonorrhea causes sterility, rheumatism, heart disease, bladder trouble, stricture and other complications of the Sin Williams Oceler. "Gonorrhea is a disease of the first rank. It costs the country annually thousands of lives, 20 to 40 per cent of all congenital blindness, chronic pelvic mischief in women, and the unhappiness of serile marriages." So much for gonorrhea—now for syphilis. According to a pamphlet issued by one of our State boards of health, it has been estimated that from eight to twelve per cent of all deaths are caused by syphilis. Most of these deaths are reported through a clinical analysis, locomotor stasis, insanity, diseases of the arteries, all of which may be caused by syphilis and some of which are invariably caused by it. The report of the New York State Hospital Commission shows that at present syphilis is the most prominent definite cause of mental diseases. Another authority estimates that 15 per cent of all first admissions to hospitals for the insane are traceable to syphilis. It is asserted that syphilis is the greatest single cause of heart disease, the leading recognized killer. Syphilis is responsible for nearly one-half of abortions, miscarriages and stillbirths. Syphilis women were under observation at a clinic in Toronto, Canada. Out of 192 pregnancies of these women there were 35 miscarriages, 24 stillbirths, 42 deaths in early infancy and 39 syphilic children—a total of 185 tragedies. Syphilis causes a degeneration of tissues, loathsome sore, a feeling of shame and dependency and a sense of uncleanness. It cripples, malteses and kills innocent wives and children as well as loose living men and women. Is it any wonder that a State board of health has said that "Syphilis and gonorrhea actually cause more suffering and death than smallpox, diphtheria, infantile analis and syphilis, and can be abolished." In speaking of syphilis Dr. Stokes says, "It is a master disease, the poor, and indeed the superior of tuberculosis, the great white plague," in the range of its influence over the fate of mankind, present and future. There is not a tissue or a structure of the body that syphilis cannot affect nor is there an aspect of the entire science of medicine in which it will not be encountered. No lace is so leaked that may mask and syphilis at its turfing. The disease has changed the destiny of many families of the earth. If it should come at this moment to be true NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1925 the cost of venereal diseases in result to give an accurate idea of that damage is to be defined national health.

These articles have recounted the history and distribution of veneral diseases and have pointed out their cost in health and wealth. A large part of the loss occasioned by syphilis and gonorrhea is unnecessary, since these diseases are both preventable and curable. In the fourth and last installment of this series, veneral disease control measures will be described and outlined. We have looked the situation in the face; now we must turn to the remedy. "Sweet-Toothed" Burglar Arrested Known as the "Sweet-toothed Burglar." Alfred Dilworth, 30, 121 West 138th street, was arrested by Policeman Quinleaveen at 138th street and Seventh avenue, Monday morning. When the officer saw Dilworth with bulging pockets he became suspicious and, on searching him, found them loaded with candy, which Dilworth is said to have stolen from the shop of Joseph Bankoff, 140 Lenox avenue. Dilworth is also said to have confessed to robbing a stationery store at 2328 Seventh avenue of $54 cash and a quantity of cigarettes and candy. He was held by Magistrate Brodsky in $2,500 bail for the grand jury. AUTO HIGHWAYMAN KILLED IN CONNECTICUT DANIELSON, Conn.

Recreational Programs Urged Municipalities Should Provide Parks and Playgrounds For Negro Children and Citizens Washington, D. C. — The Playground Magazine, published by the Playground and Recreational Association of America, has published in full the addresses made by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and T. S. T settle, District Representative of the Playground and Recreational Association, at the Atlantic City meeting of the association last Fall. These particular addresses were directed toward the formulation of a program of community recreation for colored people throughout the country. Weekly Notes on Children's Welfare Weekly Notes on Children's Welfare In his remarks upon that occasion. Doctor Scott said: "If I might undertake to voice an appeal in behalf of the colored people of this country, I would ask that larger consideration be given to this group of our American citizenship in the development of community recreation programs. It is suggested that when municipalities provide parks and playgrounds, the Negro child has some opportunity to avail himself of those facilities. From actual practice it is known that the Negro child, through lack of encouragement, and sometimes because of definite prohibition, is practically and completely left out of consideration in both city planning and municipal maintenance of recreation centers in many sections of our country. "In my opinion there should be increased consideration throughout the country given to the needs of the colored people in this matter of wholesome recreation. In the planning of recreation programs and in the employment of leaders, opportunity should be given for colored people to participate in the general programs. For they, more definitely than any others, have a sympathetic knowledge of the needs and the conditions of their people. "The twelve million colored people of the United States represent a group numerically, economically and socially important. They may not safely be ignored in connection with any program of interest to the rest of our country's population. Organized recreation is a comparatively new thing. There are handicaps and discouragements to be expected. But our common love of a common country should unite us in the effort to establish those happy, wholesome relationships so that we can be in the development of social well-being and the proper utilization of time, to the end that all elements of our population may have opportunity to render the highest possible service to the nation in help- Part-Time Schools, New York Ninety thousand boys and girls between 14 and 17 years of age are enrolled in part-time schools in New York State, according to a recent report by Lewis A. Wilson, State Director of Vocational & Extension Education. Under the law children between 14 and 18 not attending full-time day school must attend part-time schools where these schools are established. There are 155,000 girls between these ages in the State. $22,000 are outside the full-time schools. The law with regard to part-time schools is working well, the director reports. It has served to keep many children at full-time schools who might otherwise have gone to work, and has made for better enforcement of the compulsory school lawn. Public Nursery School Highland Park, Mich., has what is apparently the first public nursery school in the United States. The school was opened Dec. 9 and now has an enrollment of 15 children between 2½ and 4½ years of age. The school also serves as a laboratory where high-school girls may receive practical training in child care. Crippled Children, So. Dakota South Dakota recently appropriated $4,000 annually to help the crippled children of the State. A survey has been made which shows that 11 counties report no needy crippled children, but that 127 such children were found in 53 other counties. Surgical treatment by orthopedic specialists is being secured for all children who need it. School Survey. Bloomington. Ind. Bright boys and girls are better runners, jumpers, baseball throwers and are in general better developed physically than those not so intelligent, according to a recent experiment in Bloomington, Ind. In this city public school children were given intelligence tests and rated according to standard tables. A group of high mentality and other group of low mentality or physical tests. The results of these tests showed that the average level of physical development was higher among the children who rated high on intelligence tests than among the children who rated low in these tests. Trunion is now examining many of its preschool children. Sixty per cent of the new enrollment for this present school year had been examined previously. Of the 586 children examined 52 were prosecured perfect and 257 were without dental defects. Followup visits made after the examination revealed some progress in the correction of defects. Child Measurement ing to build a physically sound and a higher type of American citizenship." Mr. Settle's Address. "My subject divides itself very easily into two parts—part one, the needs; part two, the methods. "I don't know that anything could be said to add to the needs as put forward by Dr Scott, I don't see how anyone could have heard his appeal and not have been moved by it. And so I say that I am looking into the faces of people who are every day out trying to be involved in the need for recreation, facilities in their cities. Summing it all up, just multiply by about two everything you can say about recreation in your city, in general, and you will get an idea as to the colored situation and the colored needs. "The second part is that recreation is and should be for all the people, whether they happen to be colored people, white people. Caucasians, Mongolians or what, and that the kind of recreation you and I are interested in is the public recreation system itself just for all the people, the ones we get over excited about the ones we don't get the white people or any others. Let us just start out in the common sense way and say that we are going to provide recreation for all of the people who need it. "It is not opposition that we have to overcome so much as it is indifference and neglect. We need the right man at the right place, who believes in this and has the courage and will stand up and say, 'Well, let's give the colored people their share, too. If the pro rata part is four playgrounds for white people and two for colored, let us give the colored people their two instead of giving the white people four and the colored people none." The addresses have been reprinted in leaflet form for general distribution particularly in the larger cities, looking to the wider recognition of the claims of the colored people for more adequate recreational facilities. the spolled child is really a mentally sick child? This question is suggested by the latest bulletin of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor. The bulletin is called "Child Management" and was written for the bureau by Dr. D. A. Thom, an authority on mental hygiene. Dr. Thom organized "habit clinics" for children in Boston and has general charge of eight such clinics established by the Massachusetts State Division of Mental Hygiene. "Management" is the first publication of its kind issued by the Children's Bureau. It brings to the average parent the scope and practical form the results of modern research in the mental-hygiene field, just as the bureau's pamphlets on prenatal, infant and child care, which have reached a circulation of nearly four and a half million, have brought to mothers and fathers the results of the research of medical and health specialists.
