MURDERS SLEEPING WOMAN Colorful News "Movies" BY THE CAMERAMAN The Klan and Mrs. Rhinelander THE Associated Press (white) has sent out a dispatch saying that the Klan, having been led to believe that Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander is in Florida, is seeking her. The A. P. does not say for what purpose the young white millionaire's wife is being sought. Probably the Klan wants to bid her leave the sacred soil of Dixie, for, of course, it would be unlawful for the colored wife of a white man to be found in any of the miscegenation states of the South. It seems to us, however, that the Klan is wasting valuable energy in seeking out Mrs. Rhinelandor. What the Klan should do is to seek out the twenty or thirty thousand "Kip Rhinelanders" of the South and warm them to cease and desist in their nefarious ways of living. The Klan should spend the next ten years (if it lasts that long) in protecting the blood purity of both races; for, during the past thirty years, there have been so many "leaks" in the South that a great deal of harm has been done to both races. Where segregation is such an outstanding code among a people who insist on separate schools, churches, cars, coaches, hospitals, waiting rooms, and residential sections, it ought to include blood also. No, no, it's too late for the Klan to do anything for or against Mrs. Rhinelander. The New York Supreme Court has decided that; but the Klan can do some splendid missionary work among the "Kips" who can see in the daytime, but who are stone blind at night.

John Fischer and Ray Ford Leonard, under conviction for the murder of Grover Nicholas, a white plantation store manager near here, on Oct. 15, were believed to have been removed from the Cohoma County Jail late today and taken to another prison for safe-keeping, following the lynching here last night of their alleged accomplice, Lindsey Coleman. Coleman was taken from Sheriff Glass a few minutes after his acquittal by a jury and shot to death within the shadow of the jail building. Neither the sheriff nor his deputies would reveal the whoreabouts of Fischer and Leonard. Fischer is under sentence of death, while Leonard lives a life term in the penitentiary. C. S. Longino, county prosecuting attorney, stated today that he would investigate the lynching of Coleman and declared that if he should find sufficient evidence he would lay the case before the Grand Jury and ask the indictment of members of the mob. Sheriff Glass has steadfastly declined to say whether he recognized any member of the mob. On 1st, 2nd and 3rd mortgages, contracts, wills, estates and other good securities. J. H.

One of the finest musical feasts ever given in Nashville was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience at Fisk University on Wednesday evening, Dec. 16, on the occasion of the recital by Roland Hayes. They came from far and old, and young, colored - oblique, walking and riding - horses and expectant. They went to wonder: Would You Grant the better creature as an encre- ment in a measure appre- sitioned in kindness and spirit of him? Also sing about that creature so good. The artist was superb in his recitation of the group of songs from St. Mary's "Du bist die Rubb" "Hugging you," "Das Sehnen," "Der Junglein am der Quelle" there was excitement and calm, joy and sorrow, power and meekness. The swells were full and round, and powerful, gradually shading into a tone of fine and pleasing quality. There was no monotony in life, but the great range of ability, express every thought, feeling and action, kept one alert to catch very change, yet, without straining on the part of the producer or listener. Hugo Wolf's "Renederie seile Mutter" was sung next and as hayes sang the lines. I can feel the flames of passion in my lesson wildly throbbing. And so peace me wholly throbbing. Badness threatens me if I fear it is seemed as if every fibre of his being was on fire and ready to leap and release itself. "Murmur big Breozes" was sung as an anthem, and the artist explained that this was one of his favorite things during his early career as he and one of the most loved people will see, in imagination, the sleeping, almost hear its quiet breathing, as the guard in a sound watch over its couch, his song made one feel as if he is in the midst of a perfect sweet sleep. When he came out to sing Edward, "Beloved. It Is Mormon." Mr. Haines gave one the impression of early morning rushing out to meet the full born day, and you were made to feel glad that day had come, as he "song to work, and play and pray"; then the shadows of night fall, bringing the clear crystal sweetness of the moon and stars as a reward of a life of faithful service. As Griffin "Come, Love, Across the Sunlit Land" was sung, one could see the light fantastic dance of the nymphs on the water lilies, or the sunbeams chasing across the seashore on grains of sand. The perfect execution of the artist was seen to advantage in this song, as well as in the following two: "Rose of the Night," and "The Dreamy Lake." The Negro Spirituals were executed with rare sweetness.

"It's Me," arranged by Klemm, as usual, brought tears to the eyes of some; and one could verily see the battle in action and hear the noise of the falling of the walls as Mr. Hayes song "Joshua Pit de Battle of Jericho." An encore, "Swing Low," and then, after continued applause, with part of the audience standing and patiently waiting as if they had not had enough, Mr. Hayes came back and sang as a benediction "The Crucifixion." Fisk Local Sextet Broadcast From Nashville NASHVILLE. Jenn. Dec. 21. *Nisk University Sextet, made up of students, broadcast an interesting program a few evenings ago over station WSM of Nashville. This broadcasting station is owned and operated by the National Life & Accident Insurance Co. and is situated in its new and magnificent home office building. This is the second time since the station was opened this Fall that representatives of the school have had an opportunity to entertain America's "air audience." Telegrams of commendation were received from various parts of the country and during the performance extra telephone girls were added to receive great number of calls from friends who were being delighted by the singing and sharing of the students. In addition to the singing of the chorus, which was the main feature of the program, several violin selections were rendered by Dr. Philhill, Jefferson, a student from Pennsylvania. Phi. He was accompanied by Mr. Warner Lawson, also a student from Hartford, Conn. The members of the secret are follows: Henry Franklin Wilson of Waco, Tex.; Jackson Hower Names of Toxorakau, Ark.; Edward H. Matthews of Ossining, N. I. Leonger, Franklin of Indianapolis, Ind.; Merritt A. Hedgeman of New York City; James Coss years of poston, Mass. Salem Church Choir In Christmas Musicale More than the voices, the combined power of three choirs of Salem, participated in the annual Christmas music Teast given at Salem, Church last Sunday evening, directed by Rudolph Grant, the Soulist Choir, and the Lyceum and Epworth League choirs united in a celebration of Christmas that carried one's thoughts back to that angelic host, singing over the Judean plains. As is the custom on such occasions there was no preaching that the music department of the church might have simple opportunity for their demonstration. From a platform mounted just in front of the public Director Grant conducted the singers who were arranged in the galleries on either side of the public facing each other. The major part of the program consisted of choruses and arias from Hundel's "Messiah." There were also works from Mendelssohn Farmer, Giant, Noel Gavert, and Gounod, "Sul Tollis" a mass in B flat sung in Latin was the opening number. There followed an alternating arrangement of choruses and solos ending with the "Hallelujah" chorus from the "Messiah." A group of spirituaries rendered about midway of the program included one number "Wonderful Counselor" arranged by Professor Grant, the conductor. The four leading voices of the Senior Choir each had solo pars which were well executed. The work of Mrs. Jennie Gowins, the leading soprano, was exceptionally pleasing, her voice lending itself very gracefully to the liquid passages of her solos. The accompaniment, comprised five violins, organ and piano. APEX PRODUCTS The World's best Hair Preparations AGENTS WANTED MAKE ALL ORDERS PAYABLE TO THE APEX HAIR CO.

Following the meeting a surprise party was given in honor of the organization's secretary, Mrs. A. A. L. Howard. Mrs. Regina Meekins, president, was toastmistress.

NOTES The part of the building allotted to the Girl Reserves is on the third floor. There they hold high carnival some times. They have two club rooms for their special use with a piano and—most useful—a gas stove for the making of candy and other good things. The gymnasium and swimming pool are neighbors to the clubrooms and on the whole, the location is entirely satisfactory to the girls. During the Christmas season, however, the Girl Reserves have spread all over the building and brought the spirit of Christmas with them. They have hung garlands of green all about and put wreaths in the windows and pretty soon they will set up a stately Christmas tree gay with tinsel and twinkling lights. The Christmas tree always makes a lovely spot in the lobby and all enjoy the beauty of it. However, it is most beautiful to the little children—seventy-five or a hundred of them—for whom it is especially planned and who would perhaps, have no Christmas joy at all except for the Girl Reserves. Loyal and True! The children are sent by the Charity Organization Society and come for the party and tree on Christmas Eve. The Christmas Membership Party on Friday evening, December 15 was a delightful affair. Mrs. Eva Parks, as chairman of the Social Committee, presided over the party in cooperation with the members of the Music and Dramatic Club. The games were merry, the music by the Aniphion Trio was spicy, the refreshments—plentiful and a very good time "was had by all!" Hotel Press Guests Mr. and Mrs. J.

The children are given a card of health rules to study. The lesson given thereon is diligently memorized and put into practice, and soon that which had at first appeared difficult has become an easy matter of good habits. Teeth are brushed every morning and night, baths are taken at least twice a week, a generous amount of fresh vegetables is being eaten, milk has assumed a role of great importance in the daily routine, and plenty of sleep in a room that has open windows is being obtained. Wednesday afternoons are devoted to the periodic physical examination which is given at intervals to each boy and girl in order to assure what progress is being made, and also to make sure that any physical defects that may have been present such as tonsils and adenoids, diseased teeth, etc. have been corrected. "Before the children will really be aware of it, and Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton executive secretary, recently, graduation will be here, and with it advancement into the Carrot Club, the investigator, so to speak, for those who have attained their normal weight and have had physical defects corrected. Every one of the 50 little members is certain that the much loved membership in the Carrot Club is not far off." It is to the cherry little Christmas Souls now on sale that the Nutrition Class offers its existence.

Best Amusement Page in New York City THE MANAGEMENT OF HARLEM'S LARGEST THEATRES TAKES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WISH THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR Franklin Theatre Offers Thrills and Comedy in Hoot Gibson's Latest Aristocratic Cast in "Kentucky Pride" Which Will Also Be Shown at the Above Theatre Thrills, comedy and rare horsemanship are promised those who attend Hoot Gibson's latest Western comedy-drama, "Spook Hunch," which will be at the Franklin Theatre Saturday. The story is built around a Texas cowboy who wanders into a desert town and into trouble, action, comedy, thrills and love. First comes trouble - Bill Bang, the character foot portrays, is arrested in an altercation with a proprietor of a Chinese lunch cart. The Sheriff knows that he has no right to arrest Bill so he promises to free him if he will investigate the strange happenings at a haunted ranch outside of town. With Bill is his Negro body guard, who is exceedingly superstitious and afraid of ghosts. As they approach the ranch he bulks and no amount of persuasion will tempt him to enter the grounds. He does, finally, with the result that some unusually good comedy scenes were taken. There is a lot of rapid fire action and all the necessary ingredients for a real Western picture. The saving of the girl and her father from the plotter's calls for annual ability on Bill's part. He enlists the face of a sheer cliff, does some extraordinarily good raiding and emerges triumphant from a night with the entire band of law breakers. Edward Lacombe, director of Buffalo Bill's, also directed this picture. It may be sold without fear of contradiction that the most aristocratic cast even assembled for a motion picture is that appearing in "Kennedy Bride" the William Fox supreme attraction, which occurs at the Franklin Theatre on Sunday. For this is a story about horse, told by a horse, and among the actors are each quite princes of the blood as Man O'War, King Neocide, Frosty and The Men at A maze to see, the crowds are apt to see, the video usually on their wears no notes on the questions these tales no images of the spirit of films.

Charming Owner of New Lincoln Theatre Returns Mrs. Maria Downs, Back From European Trip on Monday, Says "I Am Feeling Fine and Fit." Looking at the picture of health and joy as charming as ever, Mrs. Martin O. Downs, owner of the New Lincoln Theatre, arrived in New York on Monday after a European trip that took her to many places or interest in the old world. Mrs. Downs when seen by a reporter for the paper announced that she never felt better in her "s" and is feeling fine and at. We could seriously that any of her friends had a warmer welcome for this splendid little lady than Manager Raymond Snyder and Mr. and Mrs. Regan, the latter for many years secretary to Mrs. Downs. The harmonious relations which have existed at the Lincoln Theatre covering a period of many years was never more evident than in the joy displayed by her employees when word came to the theatre that the Leviathan, the ship on which Mrs. Downs returned here, was headed up the river past the Statue of Liberty. The courage which has always been exhibited by those in charge of the running of the Lincoln Theatre, their evident desire to please at all times, and the warmth with which those who are brought into close contact with the management is always greeted, forces the writer to state that he too is gratified at the return of Mrs. Downs and shares in the expressions of welcome to a most estimable lady he has known for many years.

SUTTON'S MUSIC GIRLS ORCHESTRA and MUSIC STUDIO Piano, Violin, Transcription and Band Instructions 32 BRADHURST AVENUE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 23, 1925 About Things Theatrical The ability of the Pittsburgh "Courier" to go to the graveyard and bring back the bones of the departed is unquestioned. Like a hole from a clear sky, last week they threw upon an unsuspecting world no less a dead one than Sylvester Russell, a "colored dramatic writer," who, even in his earliest days in the game, vegetated in an atmosphere of "dead things." When, incidentally, sent brother "Sylves" to the tall uncut with the coming of the more enlightened writers on the various papers scattered throughout the country, Sylvester's proudest boast and greatest claim to prominence in his day was the fact that most any actor would take a swing at him. Few of us have forgotten when S. H. Dudley made the Chicago writer's law a bass drum. As a matter of curiosity we carefully perused Sylvester's stuff to see if time had wrought any improvement in him, but sad to relate, his vaporsions are worse than ever, and one wonders at the prominence given them by such an esteemed and progressive journal as the Pittsburgh "Courier." That Brother Ira Lewis was caught asleep at the switch should be evident to anyone who saw that array of junk which graced the columns of this estimable paper last week. Like our boy Mirandy, the personal pronoun plays its great part in the fulminations from the brain of Russell, and "when I did this" and "when I did that" (which the Lord knows does not call for any overabundance of brain) stares out and greets even performers who have for years looked assistance at the nerve of the Western Specialist. It is the opinion of Mr. Sylvester Russell that Leigh Whipner, manager of the Orpheum Theatre in Newark, N. J., did not show much ability in refusing to book S. H. Dudley and the latter's so-called comedy picture entitled "Easy Money." This action on the part of Whipner will be wonderfully applauded in this part of the country, and anybody who entertained any blog that Whipner was not involved with the ability to run the Orpheum will be firmly convinced that Leigh's reply convient with his duties to the public. Dudley's picture is but the retaliation of a humorous which met with a muggy like warm response some years ago. We saw it at the Douglas Theatre and wondered upon what has caused the claims for support of this abortive screen adaptation were laid. As we look through the childish sputterings of Sylvester Russell we continue to wonder what misfortune hollied the courier" when they allowed that stuff to get into the columns of an otherwise live paper. While theatre managers in Harlem have from time to time played the Oscar Misechaux pictures, more from a mistaken idea of a youth because of the worth of the pictures. With an opportunity of viewing the best things along picture lines, it is hard to accept colored people to accept these Misechaux pictures like in Greater New York and Northern New Jersey, and they don't Manager Raymond Snyder at the Lincoln Theatre, having been here for quite some time and with a good grasp on what should be offered in his theatre, has passed up the Misechaux pictures because they are so far beneath what he has to offer from studies fully equipped and with high paid writers furnishing the scenarios. In those sections where the opportunity for witnessing the best along theatrical lines does not exist, those Misechaux pictures would in no doubt be considered the most intriguing when it comes to competing with them. These pictures are as instructive to see here they are passive. Misechaux is in the same boat in which Marus Snyder found himself when he tried to bring or a daily in order to comp to with the Fayes. Some years ago we bought a book written by Misechaux. We did this on sentiment, and after the first few paragraphs we were cured. Misechaux's pictures are along the same lines as the book which he wrote and had published himself. Yes, Lezith, if we had any doubts about your ability they would have been disposed by your recent action along picture lines. We see where Billy Pierre has jumped into the "Charleston Argument" with both foot and told Lila Webb to be a good little girl and stop laying claim to having set the case; for the dance which took the country by storm. Coming right be and Billy we take a running start and, sailing with body well trained, hold with our pet extremities right in the discussion. It has always been said that the people of Charleston seem to be closely allied to West Indies by certain manners of speech and certain actions. We are all trained to behave in the way they are going on in the "Buffalo Down." From whence we came we know not, but well be horses-riding if some of those steps are not the most important part of the presentation of Charleston. Now who ther it went from Charleston to the islands of whether it portrayed to the islands from Charleston we know not, but as we look back a quarter of a century we can remember the charm of the youngsters as they did the steps.

With Our Performers in Europe By A. A. HASTON LONDON, England, December 3rd.—Just a line from Little Ole London town; it is beginning to look more like Harlem every day (only different), so the gang all say. All the Offays are complaining of hard times, and as far as Variety is concerned with them they are quite right. It is worse than that, it is really closed, unless they are lucky enough to get booked in a Revue, but as the old saying goes, "God's chilun seem to find a way," and today we have more colored acts headlining programs than ever before in the history of England. I have been here for 17 years and have seen practically every description and nationality of act have their season, as is the custom in England. But it does seem that at last "Aunt Haggar's chilun" are going to have their turn, for at the present time you will find what few theatres that are playing vaudeville are playing a colored act and topping the bill at that. To begin with, we have Scott and Whaley, who open shortly, starring in an entirely new Revue for Messrs. Clayton and Whaller's company of 100, all white. Layton and Johnson, topping on Stoll tour and Cafe Paris Carnival, and Sissie and Blake, topping Alhambra Blanchard's Clubs, Jim and Jack, starring in Fred Karno's production "On With the Show." Hatch and Carpenter, on the L. T. V. tour, and the latest arrivals. The Four Harmony Kings, who made their debut in England, broadcasting, Dec. 2; they opened Monday, 7th instant, at the Collisium. After listening in last night to this wonderful combination I predict they should be a sensation here. De Callieux and his band of white musicians at Odoniuse; Ellis Jackson and his band at Moody's, where he has been for four years. In the concert world we have John Payne, who will give another recital shortly, being his fourth within 18 months. I must say that Messrs. Sissle and Blake, aside from their appearing in the theatres and clubs, have contracted to write a production and have already written at least a dozen numbers which promise to make their names memorable in England, as in America. Lastly, we have Will Garland and his big Colored Revue. The Versatile 3—Haston, Mills and Tuck, who have recently returned from a most triumphant tour in Australia, and we are just finishing up our engagement week ending Jan 2, and sail for America Jan. 6, opening Keith-Albee Circuit, Jan. 25. This act opened Nov. 6, 1913, as The Versatile 4, played nine years solid in London, and have played all the principal theatres and cities through Europe and the colonies. We shall be pleased to see all our old friends on our first appearance in our homeland as "The Versatile 3." I forgot to ment Williams and Taylor are just finishing a mos Then there is Norris Smith, still holding down the band at the Palais De Danse, Hammersmith. Messrs. Sissle and Blake gave a stag party the night of their closing at the Pleadilly; their guests included Jack Hylton and his band, Messrs. Layton and Johnson, John Payne, J. Rosemond, Scott and Whalley, Hatch and Carpenter, De Calilleux and A. J. Clark, their manager. The rooms were most beautifully decorated and the dinner was prepared by Mrs. Haston. Mrs. Jennie Haston gave a Thanksgiving dinner to her friends Friday, Nov. 26 (owing to convenience date was postponed from 25th). Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Eube Blake, Mr. and Mrs. Noble Sissle, Mr. and Mrs. Will Garland, Mr. A. J. Clark, Peter Bernard, Mr. and Mrs. Yikla, Miss Cooper, Messrs. Hatch and Carpenter. Mrs. Avis Blake wishes to be remembered to Nan and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Robinson and friends. Mrs. Harriet Sissle wishes to be remembered to Mr. and Mrs. FitzHowell, and friends. Avis and Harriet say the weather and fogs here are really upon you, but London and its spirits are really too-bad, and each time they think of Harlem it's just another little drink. All Paris is still raving over Louis Douglass' show, and the band. Louis Mitchell, Brick-top, Florence Jones, Sweet Papa Palmer, and all the bunch seem to have Paris right in their hand, while in Budapest Jim Shaw and his band are holding sway. Lottie Gee and the Three Eddles have just closed a most successful engagement in Vienna. Louis Johnson, formerly of Philadelphia, some years with Mrs. Belle (Davis) Whalley, died a fortnight ago, after a short illness, of tuberculosis. Mrs. Whalley took charge of the funeral. I think I have covered pretty much all Europe, so I will close with best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from us both, Jennie and Gus Haston. Remember we arrive by Majestic, Jan. 12, New York City. Plans Complete for Holiday Dances by Anderson Popular Professor, and Friends to Celebrate in Gaily Be decked Hall Xmas and New Year's That the Elks' Auditorium on West 129th street will be a scene of unusual gaiety during the holiday season is a foregone conclusion as Prof. Charles H. Anderson has spent more time in preparing for the yuletide season than at any other time during the period he has been staging his Saturday night assembly. The holiday season is observed to such an extent in the community. It is no more than fair that we should step into the breach at this time and for readers know that at the Elks' a most spacious time will be in progress on Christmas and New Year's nights.

After more than five years of trying the colored people of America are today rejoicing in another championship. This time it is the title of basketball champions of the world, and proves that when given an opportunity to meet the white man on equal terms we can rise to the same heights. Championships in those lines of sports where the color fne is drawn remain with the whites, because they deny the colored brother a chance to compete with them, but once they let down the bars they prove the fallacy of their claims of a superiority which only the white race enjoys. All Negroes have asked is a fair chance, and when given that chance they have more than made good. A consultation of records in sports where the colored brother has taken part will prove this claim to the satisfaction of anyone. Well, it happened at the Renaissance Casino last Sunday night. A milling throng of almost four thousand fans tried to jam their way into the Casino and after about three thousand had been admitted the doors were barred and the unlucky ones forced to wait outside to get the news of one of the most historic battles in basketball ever since the game became one of the most important winter sports in the United States. With Manager "Bob" Douglas sitting on the sidelines biting an unlit cigar to pieces the colored players took the court against the Celtics confident of victory and proving that their strict attention to the demands of the game during the past few weeks had left them resolved to put forth the greatest effort of their career and bring victory, thereby staying off the censure which was slowly but surely cropping up among those who have so faithfully supported the team. And it was the battle of the gods. Even the colored referee, Chris PERFUMES, CANDY, TOILET ARTICLES AND OTHER GOOD THINGS FOR ALL THERESA DRUG STORE Seventh Avenue, Corner 124th Street Hiswould, who came along by slow degrees with the development of the game, referred the best game of his career and has coped along with the Renaissance the glory of the night and the honor of being the chief official in a game that will be written in unmistakable terms in the history of basketball. The final score was 37-30 in favor of the local players. The Celts skated and fussed all night, but that was to be expected. They felt that the title was turning, saw the handwriting on the wall and then resorted to winning by four means that which they could not win by fair. The victory of the colored players was thereby enhanced, for by holding their heads they won not only a physical but a moral victory over the champions of the world. We are so pleased and overwhelmed with the accomplishment of the boys, being a member of the same race to which they belong, that we are here reproducing a clipping from the "Daily Mirror." Let the white folks tell of the victory. It is to be expected that we, in writing about the game, would soar to great heights and say everything that's good, therefore we consider it most timely to let members of BASKETBALL HONOR ROLL OF SUNDAY Uneelfish, gentlemanly and with all the attributes that go to make men beloved by all those with whom they are brought into contact. Their success well deserved. Up at Manhattan Casino, on New Year's night, the colored and white people of Greater New York and New Jersey will be treated to a game that should carry as great, if not greater, interest than the game of last Sunday night. On this court, on the above night, the Renaissance Five will meet the Italian Catholic Club in a return game which the colored players will enter with more determination than ever. On Thanksgiving this same aggregation of white players met and defeated the Renaissance Five; since that time the colored players have wrested the world's championship from the far-famed Celtics, and salute from wiping out that defeat, they will have their newly won championship to defend. Any team that can boast of a victory over the Renaissance must be considered among the best in the country, and when on the opening night of the year this game is started, another exhibition of big time basketball will be the result which few with any red blood in their veins can afford to miss. Another item of interest to the public is the announcement that the plans of Manager "Bob" Douglas for the encouragement of the youngsters in amateur basketball are complete. A league has been formed, the manager has put up a loving cup and from now on the youngsters will appear in the preliminary game every Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino. We, personally, are gratified at all these steps towards the progress of the game and to have gone along nurturing and nursing a team which has eventually brought us the highest honors in their particular line of sport is something that brings with it a sense of satisfaction that only those who can appreciate the sacrifices of Douglas and the men with whom he is associated can appreciate.

Let's go: "Harlem went on a wild spree last night when the Renaissance Big Five, colored basketball champions of the country, defeated the Original Celtics, New York holders of the United States professional title, 37-30, in a game of thrills. Renaissance Casino, the scene of the game, was jammed long before game time and at the finish there were close to 3,000 basketball fans packed into the place. "Led by the stocky George Flatt and the short "Fat" Jenkins, the colored champions proceeded to sweep the famed Celtics off their feet from the opening whistle. The Celtics scored first, a field goal but from that time on the colored stars dominated the game completely. Unable to hold their own with the fleet colored quintet, the Celtics resorted to rough tactics in the last half. Fifteen fouls were called against Nat Holman, Celtic forward. Referee Chris Huiswouw, the only sanctioned colored basketball official in the East, handled the same in fine style. He gave the Celtics an absolutely fair deal, but the United States champion applauded him with the flying Renaissance team. The colored players were enjoying their big moment last night, and no earthly power could hold them away from the verdict. "At half time Renaissance was leading by 20 to 15 as the result of beautiful teamwork. Flail, Ricks, Slocum, Jenkins and Mayers worked together like a well-oiled machine. The Celtics tried to stem the tide by throwing in reserves, but to no avail. Harlem folk have a saying, "Any time you want to find the ball, find Fat Jenkins." Jenkins proved that saying to be a well-founded truth last night. The Celtics could do nothing with this great little star of the roly-poly build. "Harlem cleaned up a small fortune on the game, as the Renaissance team had been brought to its highest pitch for this game by its Manager Bob Douglas, the sheik of West 131st street, and the Harlem basketball colony bet the family jewels on a win.

Joymakers All Set to Sweep Everything Christmas Night That the Three Joymakers are all set to sweep everything before them on Christmas night is a foregone conclusion, and again we warn all opposition that all that is now left is the shouting. There will be more automobiles, trolley cars, etc., packed with humanity headed for the New Star Casino than will be evident in the case of any other would-be attraction on the same night. Dawn there at the New Star you will meet all your friends and the kind of music which only the Joymakers have been successful in inducing to come to this section of the city to, play for us folks, Perhaps Christmas they will be a big one for you, but the night certainly will not be unless you are among the number making up that happy throng that will be swaying to dreamy music and dancing under the softest of lights from early evening until early dawn.

Already a number of clubs, and club teams have been organized. Coach John H.

Battling Siki, whose real name was Louis Phal, was carried from the ring of life forever Friday. "No man ever came out of Africa who lived a more dramatic life or had a more tragic ending. A lack of preparation and a noble purpose were the two dreadful mistakes of his life. Our civilization is, perhaps, more to blame for these mistakes than he was," the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, said, in performing the Christian rites over the "Jungle Hercules," Louis Phal, at the Effie A. Miller Funeral Parlor, located at 64 West 127th street. Between two and three thousand persons, mostly Negroes, congregated in the street in front of the establishment, waiting to get a glimpse of the casket as it was being put into the hearse that was to convey the once restless man to his final resting place. Only close friends of the fighter and his native countrymen were admitted at the funeral services. something in him that educated people should have developed and directed into a channel of usefulness.

"To his widow we express the Mrs. Phal, his pupilist's wife, sobbed all during the ceremony. When the Harmonic Four sang, "Nearer My God to Thee," she wept hysterically. Smelling salts were administered to her several times. After the services were over she was assisted to her carriage by Bob Levy, the prize-fighter's white manager. Another white man who refused to give his name cried incessantly during the whole ceremony. That Sikl was his pal was all that he would say. Mohammedan Rites Said. Following the services conducted by Rex Powell, eight of Sikl's countrymen stood before the gray casket and recited the Mohammedan creed. They were dressed in tuxedo suits and wore turbans. After the invited guest had viewed the remnants of the now silent man, the doors were opened to the curious spectators on the outside. Dr. Powell spoke in part as follows: "The colorful story of Louis Phal, better known as 'Battling Sikl,' has been printed so often that it would be an intrusion upon the intelligence of the reading world to repeat it on this occasion. He was known throughout civilization as the 'Jungle Boy,' the 'Singular Senegalese,' and the 'Jungle Hercules.' No man ever came out of Africa who lived a more dramatic life or had a more tragic ending. A lack of proper preparation and a noble purpose were the two dreadful mistakes of his life.

C., Dec. 21. As a final close to the 1925 football season a banquet was tendered the members of the Howard football squad on Friday evening, Dec. 18, in the University dining hall on the University campus by the Board of Athletic Control and University Administration in token of its appreciation of the wonderful record made by the men who represented Howard on the football gridiron. Dr. J. Stanley Durkeo, president of the University; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, and Dr. E. P.

DEMPSEY-WILLS FIGHT HAS MADE ONE CHAMPION | By William Pickens. . That 126 fight between Dempsey and Wills has’ already: ceciled one chetpionship—even if the actual fight never takes, ciace, The title Halder tor his new championship is, Attorney General Arthur 1. Gilliom, af Indiana. In the following famous s pinion as ta the legality of the proposed fight. which the At, wersey-General delivered to the Klux Governor of. the Klus- ; fener state of Indiana, said Attorney-General has proven hin: sii ta he the CIAMPION CIRCUMLOCUTOR OF THE ENG. | VISi-SIEAKING WORLD. He delivered the following Larewhootnt: i “tow pessille that these men might. without violating the jaw. steer for the single purpose of exhibiting their skill as “users, exchtding from their purpose the exchange of blows vivel work! be ‘caiculated to determine superiority between ' them it their chesen and well-known profession. If this is the: Intention, there is ue intended violation of the Taw.” Now! we offer Attorney-General GilHom as the enly man th ike werkd who has so far employed so long a string ui English: words ta say simply this: “Thar it Dempsey fieks Wills, all right—since Dempsey is: airewiy champion. And if Wills Eeks Dempsey, still all right—! jor ii Indiana Wille cannot he deckired champion.” ! Nayoamere. The statement can even be boiled duwn luwer | buts that, withet any loss of sensc. And to prove that the \tterney-eneral is the champion who can COMPRESS MORE WORDS Esto FEWER IDEAS THAN ANY OTHER MAN, ve offer the fuliawing as the real sense of his cireumlccution: “Wills cannot Jawfnlly win Dempsey's title in Indiana.” Verhaps Gilliam thought that nobody cxeept lawyers and. luxers would understand bis long Wizardly and Cyclopeat: phaceology. but we “got” him when he says that Wills and. Dempsex. if they meet. cannot “purpose the exchange of blows | which would be calculated to determine muperiority between, them in their chosen and well-known profession.” “That is to: say that the present technical “superiority between them,” with | Nen:psex on the upper end of it, cannot be changed. whatever | ihe real af the Gght. ‘They must not even “purpose” to| change se that, even if Wills should knock Dempsey une) cunscions, nothing will he altered, as such a “blow” wotlld he | au rnintentional aceident, It seems that it is going to take all the attorneys general! aul all the state legislatures in the United States to keep Liemprey from lesing or risking his title to Wills. The question uiises: Why did Dempsey select Indiana, a Klux state? Why did he not selectNew York or New Jersey—or somic place a least as civilized as Mexico or Dahomey? The Kluxers bave already decided in their ereed that any white man is both men- tally and physically superior to any black man—and they do not, propose ty have that creed disturbed by any FACTS such as | these Harry Wills might deliver. ! avenite and Linden strect, under the anspleea of the Holy Namo Soclety, on Tuesday evening.

Grove street, Flushing, for first degree murder has been placed on the calendar for Jan. 18, 1920, by County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey in the Queens County Court. Renna is charged with shooting William Miller, a Flushing resident, in August 2011 at the corner of Grove and Lawrence streets. Renna disappeared after the shooting, but was recognized by Chicago detectives when arrested there in October for extortion and held for the Queens authorities. He was brought to Queens by Detective Eugene Fallon of District Attorney Newcombe's staff. Miller met his death while standing on the street corner talking with two friends seated in a taxi cab. Renna and Orzono Porcelli, also of Grove street, Flushing, had been engaged in argument, the police say, when Miller drove up in a taxi cab and got out. Just a minute before friends had separated the two white men who had been quarrelling and started to lead them in opposite directions. Renna, the ploice say, turned suddenly and fired two shots at Porcelli. Miller, who was standing between the two men, fell to the street, with a bullet in his heart.

His subject will be "Max Yergen and His Work." In addition there will be two motion picture reels displayed on Africa. An excellent musical program has been arranged and the public is invited to attend. The Carlton "Y" Employment Director is making rapid progress in the work of placing worthy men and boys, as well as giving vocational counsel and advice on matters of employment. The report for the month of November showed a decided increase of applications for employment. Many opportunities have been opened during the past month and the demand for jobs has been nearly exhausted. Every man and boy in Brooklyn out of work or desiring a better position should call to see the Employment Director, Mr. E. B. Weatherless. The Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. Boys' Division, held a New Members' Night on Thursday, Dec. 17, for the new members who came in to membership through the recent Membership Drive. They were cordially welcomed by the old members of the department. There were contests, speaking and games, which made the evening one of fun and good fellowship. There were 67 boys present. Refreshments were served. The program of the evening was conducted by Bernard Gray and Midleton Harris, both members of the "HI Y" Club. The boys all expressed a desire to hold a reception of this kind regularly each month. During the Christmas holidays there will be a special tournament in ping-pong, battle ball and checkers. Many friends of the boys who have recently joined are urging their parents to make them Christmas presents of membership in the "Y." The younger and older boys are making preparations for the New Year's exhibition. They plan to keep the people interested during the afternoon and evening. The program consists of marching, scale theatrical light and heavy apparatus work, relay races and recreational games of all kinds. Some older boys are preparing something special on the heavy apparatus, parallel and high bars. The Branch is eager to have the public see what the boys can do and an invitation is extended to everybody on New Year's Day to call between the hours of 2 and 10 o'clock. Athletic games will be carried on between 5 and 10 o'clock. A real treat is in store for the public. YESSA!

Young Whitfield is six feet tall and when he decided to quit school he was in the seventh grade. He secured employment as an elevator operator but lost that job when the education authorities discovered that he had not put in the required time at his studies. Many times during the last six months, the father said, he has tried to get his boy to return home, but the lad has refused to obey and about a week ago he disappeared from the home of his friend and has not been seen or heard from since.

Jan. 3—Arthur Garfield Hays Also to Speak The National Association for the Admiration of Colored People, so Birth, avenue, today announced that the Council has granted the consent of the Michigan courts to bring Dr. and Mrs. Gossian H. Sweet from Detroit to New York City for their first public address in this city at the annual meeting of the N. A. A. P. on Sunday afternoon, January 2 at 3 P. M., in the Mount Olivet Dapist Church, Lenox avenue and 25th street. It was necessary to have the sanction of the Michigan courts for Dr. and Mrs. Sweet, who are now out on ball, to torse the State. Both Dr. and Mrs. Sweet will speak at the N. A. A. C. P.'s annual meet meeting, as will Arthur Garrett Hays, associate of Clarence Darrow in the Tennessee evolution trial and in the Sweet defense in Detroit. Mr. Hays, who is a liberal lawyer of national reputation, a forceful speaker and a firm friend of the Negro's cause, will make the annual address. In connection with the above announcement, the N. A. A. C. P. issued a warning to all who wish seats to come early, as the crowds at the meeting addressed by Clarence Darrow necessitated the holding of an overflow meeting in the basement of the church and a thousand people had to be turned away when the church had been filled. The annual business meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. will be held on Monday, January 4, at the national office, 69 Fifth avenue, at 2 P. M., promptly. Reports will be made of the most successful year, in achievement and financially, in the Association's history. Hays Also Speaks in Washington Arthur Garfield Hays also addressed a mass meeting in Washington, D. C., on December 20, in the John Wesley Church. The meeting was held by a committee of women of Washington, of which the following are members: Mrs. Jennie Richardson McGuire, chairman of the general committee: Mrs. Laurea B. Glenn, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Mrs. Rush Savoy, Mrs. Pauline Marshall, Mrs. Lettie C. Calloway, Mrs. Carol Carson, and Mrs. Louise Adams Hayes. Preachers' Association Endorses Business Program In a recent address entitled "Business Among Negroes" before the Interdenominational Preachers' Association, John E. Nail, of the realty firm of Nail & Parker, 145 W. 135th street, made many suggestions which were readily approved and reaffirmed in a resolution passed by the body. The Association pledged its support to all legitimate business enterprises controlled by Negroes; voiced its opposition to takers and unscrupulous men in business; and insured the establishment of a bank in Harlem by Negroes; and deplored the establishment of business by men lacking in experience. 53RD ST.

The prisoner told the authorities that the gun used in the murder had been issued to him while he was a chauffeur on a mail truck. After leaving the job, Jan. 2, he had returned the weapon, he said. Twelve days after the slaying the jury in the Bronx County Court returned the first degree murder verdict against Mimms after 10 minutes of deliberation. The defense counsel had asked the jury to find Mimms guilty, but in a lesser degree than first degree. An attempt was made to show that "an intention to kill was lacking, and that the crime actually committed was first degree manslaughter" the killing of a human being without a design to cause death.

Six-Year-Old Boy Sees Mother Killed Father, Who Also Tried to Take Own Life, in Hospital in Critical Condition "Mamma and papa have been fighting," screamed the eleven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Falkner early Thursday morning when his cries aroused the landlady. Mrs. James Williams, 217 Madison avenue, who found Mrs. Falkner dead and her husband unconscious on the floor. Mrs. Falkner, 34, was out to death by her husband because of jealousy. It is believed, Falkner, 54, who was an elevator operator, is in a critical condition at Harlem Hospital. It is believed that he attempted to kill himself after slaying his wife. Mrs. Williams said the couple had rented the room from her about a month ago. Almost from the first night, she said, Falkner appeared jealous of his wife. As a result they quarrellled bitterly, said Mrs. Williams. She did not believe the husband's jealousy was well-founded, she said. Shortly after 10 o'clock that morning she was awakened by Robbie's sobbing. Mrs. Williams said. She had not heard any quarrelling in the couple's room, however, and did not attach any importance to the child's grief. After two hours, during which the boy cried incessantly, she knocked on their door. There was no response. Opening the door, she told the polite, she saw Falkner on the door unconscious, with a blood-stained razor in his hand. Mrs. Falkner was lying on the blood-saturated bed.

Mimms. 26. 21 E. 165th street, who was convicted of first degree murder on Feb. 28 for the slaying of Detective Chester Hagan, white, 947 Sheriffan avenue, attached to the Simpson street police station. Detective Hagan was killed at 167th street and Vyse avenue early on the morning of Feb. 14, while he and Detective Michael Hegney, 2011 Amsterdam avenue, were patrolling the streets. They were accompanied by Jack Lazarus, who had complained to the Simpson street detectives of the presence of burglaries in the vicinity. They met three men, whose actions aroused their suspicions, and they began to question them. Suddenly one of the men dropped an improvised blackjack to the ground. Hagan drew his revolver. Quick as a flash, as he stopped to pick up the object, one of the trio, standing behind the other two, whipped out a revolver and fired several shots. Hagan was felled by the first bullet, with a fatal wound in the abdomen, and died shortly afterward in Lincoln Hospital. Detective Continues Battle. After Hagan's collapse, Detective Hegney took up the battle. He emptied his revolver in an attempt to halt the fleeing trrio. Two Bronx policemen, off duty, who were attracted at their homes by the pistol shots, joined the chase which resulted in the capture of Norman Robinson, 20, 1787 Third THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Yuletide Greetings From the "Picturesque Side" of The Amsterdam News THE WEEKLY NEWS --Mrs. A.

When he appeared before the same magistrate for further hearing of his case Saturday, ball was set at $2,500 to await the action of the Grand Jury. Some time between Payne's freedom on Wednesday and his rearalignment in court it was learned that the prisoner had a letter in his possession which, it is alleged, contained some information that would enable the police to determine whether he really knew he purchased a stolen automobile. Accompanied by Dixon, several detectives went to Payne's home in the hope of finding the letter, but it could not be located. After a lengthy questioning by Dixon and the police, the prisoner maintained the lost the letter they were seeking. After these facts were presented to Magistrate Vitale, Assistant District Attorney Mantinband asked that bail be set at $2,500. Unable to furnish the money, Payne was taken down to the courthouse jail and then to the County Jail to await trial.

There are many cause the city attracts women are 105 women to every 1000 access of approximately 10000 HUNT is going to happen to Harlem? It is the greatest Negro city in the world; it holds 200,000 col- ored people; it has taken a great section of main- tion island over from the whites in not much more than a decade. The Negra population has grown with tremendous speed, and it is still growing. Where will the new increase go? The southern boundary of Harlem is 125th street, but already Negroes are sweeping down the line as far as 130th street. From 125th street up to 135th street, and between Fifth and Eighth avenues, almost all the inhabitants are colored. It is such a city of Negroes as no other part of the world knows; there are more Negroes here than in any equal area on the globe. Sixty million dollars' worth of property in this area is owned by Negroes. There are Northern Negroes, Southern Negroes, Negroes from the Carib Islands, Negroes from Africa here. The recent movement from the South has included Harlem in its destination. There are 12,000 Negroes from the Carolinas, 12,000 more from Virginia. There are 30,000 from the West Indies, most of whom came in the period about 1911. There are many more women than men, because the city attracts women. One estimate is that there are 105 women to every 100 men, which would make an access of approximately 10,000 in the female population. The Black Belt. We have heard more of Herlom in the last few years than we ever learled before. When it was founded when it changed to white, when it became Jesuit, it got into the top-tier from time to time but never does new. Looking from its window now, we see that one is in Jesuit. On the streets, in the windows all the faces are dark. It is the black hall. It is the house of a night life that the coming of the night clubs has advertised from coast to coast. But it is also a solid community in their sleepers and poets and doctors and nurses as well as long waiters and elevator boys and waiters and porters and teamsters. There are two ways to see Herlom. One is to go by one's self, prospecting vaguely for information, asking a taxi driver to find the night life. The other is to go by a Negro who knows her tahrion, her life is conscious, her tahrion is courteous. A man like J.K. Harlem is courteous. A man like J.K. Harlem, whose background for dealing in red estate is to have been graduated from the universities schools of two or three universities, will provide information as to the development of the section, the journals, the nominated journals, the bourgeois for all of Fame will die. Negro folk music. A traveller just returned from Africa exhibits a self-gold ring of exquisite workmanship that he has brought back from the man who made it by two works of work with his hands, writer and lecturer who has just opened four volumes, built his way through all phases of those cities and has sociological comment to make. Surprise, all of these men except the first are found in the social room of the Y.W.C.A. which, in Herlom, is a wider community visiting places, including building first hotel for Negro women. It conducts classes in the trades, numbers eighteen of its staff of instructors in this work. Homes and Humor. Homes and Humor There are some of us, three of us, who have been homes for them and others, like the a to some of the homes of Harlem. There is a teacher of biology who is an Oxford man and has degrees from two or three American universities. His skin is very dark, but his speech is clear. Moreover, he has a sense of humor and nothing escapes his eye. "What do you want to see in Harlem?" he wants to know. And he adds a line that deserves to be saved: "We have everything in Harlem from the trouting of the speckled ponies to the fourth floor of the library to life in this story. I saw the sweetest thing on the avenue today. I was walking along when I saw a big picture of Paul Laurence Dunbar. It was so big that I knew it was Dunbar long before I could read what was printed under it. It was a picture of our clothes to your neighborhood laundry. This Jaundry is a memorial to Paul Laurence Dunbar." He laughed and so did everybody else. Among these people the anouncement that the guest was on a tour of observation did not freeze him. He was alone of the stilted and stupid fatiessness common among white people who giggle the warning: "Be careful what you say or it will be in the paper." Conversation took its easy and natural way, and the audience came to a one was imbued by the Dunbar story of a sien she had seen in the Mr. Attending and carpenter here home when the house where the fire is owned by a distinguished architect. He arrived with a wife from seeing Laurence Stainley's new motion picture, "The Hulk Parade." A line picture, they thought it, and compared it with others. The talk ran to other pictures, to plays, to books, to Negro spirituals. There was no consciousness of race until the architect brought it back humorously with the tale of man who had come to Hurricane New York to see "It's all the man was told.

It is an excellent house, which he requires for a comparatively small price at a time when the whites, as he puts it, were running from the colored people he was working with. He was the story of the success of a Negro real estate man from Brooklyn who had made a fortune in Harlem. He had bought a row of houses for an absurd small sum and they had appropriated in value as Harlem became all colored and values were growing. A young woman whose husband is secretary to a great American business man. She said a word of the novel, Van Vechten, laughed at a remark to Erie Walrond, business manager of the Negro journal, "Opportunity, and was gone but here, not because of the question, was complete without the question, "Are you going to the game?" The same is the greatest Negro social event in America, the annual football game between Lincoln and Howard Universities, which is played on after negro games, at which Negro girls were held in Philadelphia. To come Negroes from all over the United States. Dancing to Jazz. These are socially mimicked people and Harlem is their community. It is self-contained; it has all the requisites of a city complete. Its churches. Its clubs, its institutions of various kinds are those whose "city" care is about Harlem that is not felt below the color line on the island of Manhattan. Part of this freedom expresses itself in the night life to which white people are attracted in the night life is the atmospheric that goes with the access of women over men in the population. At midnight you may go to a piano jazz club and the folk at the tables and the dancers on the floor are, with few exceptions, Negroes. The melody saxophones keep the rhythm softly; the drummer is the best in town. The lights change from white to blue and orange and number. The waiters erase the dance floor hearing trays balanced the shoes their feet were in and the music in standing step. Or one of them dances with a girl. Or another moves dancing among the tables. The cultural grins sing raucously and dance with the abandon of Harlem. A Negro sheikh holds his partner about the cocktail with both hands and she loops her hands about. His face. Their faces are expressive. His eyes. He is a good-looking young, a man dressed in gray; she a slim, graceful figure all in black. The heat of the music is faster. This is the Harlem of the stage of some of the new Negro poetry. It is Harlem free to feel the hues of life to the beat of music. These people can dance; they exit to the clash of the band; they take the talk of booka and songs without hands or bodies for living. Their hands and bodies respond to the tour-ton of the drums. They are funding their racial heritage. In Harlem and moving simultaneously to their American opportunity. How Harlem Became Dark. Harlem is known to the Negroes of all the world. It was the colored people of New York lived in the viability of Spring and Browne and Leppard streets. They lived to the south, east and west of Washington square when the square was the aristocratic center of the city. But before 1800 they began to settle in West Side street. Not long afterward they were moved to new apartment houses could not be absorbed by its white population. The whites saw the movement and tiled to check it, but it continued to spread. Then the whites ran away. Houses and blocks were deserted and values dropped to nothing until the war and Negro labor began up from because of the Northern shortage and the blocks and houses were filled. Negroes and houses property and were used for that leaders to do so. The community stabilized as it all sorbed all the houses. Places that were deserted became crowded and the occupation is complete. There is no room for more Ninces in Har. in. Harlem has everything that in white city life and something besides. For to durum the Negroes of the world to see looking. Out of it come plays, poetry and features and prose. White men are writing about it and Negroes, too. Jazza is in its flower there, and it has its social problems, some of which are not known. "Everything from the treasuring of the speckled ponies to the fourth dimension," its newspaper, the weekly Amsterdam News, is concerned with the Negro problem, the arts, with business, with shows. It carries advertisements of beauty parties and real estate of furnished rooms and hotels, of clothes and furniture. It takes the case of Dr. Sweet in Derbyshire, the musician of musical interpretation. It prints the news of the award of a poetry prize to young Countie Cullen, who is at Harvard. You can pick up an advertisement of the Hoofers, where "The Hoofers boys' occupation are too hard"; you can find a number of a program of Negro spirituals arranged by J. Rosenthal Johnson for the benefit of "Wildly" My Lood Doller Daniel! I hast on that program, and it is followed by "My Lord's" within All do Time" and "Swing Law Sweet Charity, Down, Mose." My Lord, what a Mourning." "What You Give to Do When Yo' Lamp Burn Down," and half a dozen others. The World to Talk About. There is someone who tells them to talk about anything, and if you have attended the Institute of Politics in Williamstown, if you have heard Chrancie narrow argue a case in court, if you have traveled abroad, if you have admired Dudley Nichol's superb reporting of the resume of the "Terri's crew by the Presidl in Harding. If you are interested in jazz or football of the Roaring Twenties, for Senegal paintings, if you specialize in history or politics or progress, if you like the night life, if you are a student of social research, you can talk someone in Harlem to talk with it. It all, there, from the trappings of the speckled ponies to the fourth dimension. They are writing and thinking and working. Their book is teaching the stage, the magazines, the books, the lecture platform. "There is a Who's Who in colored America. In it are the stories of 'men' such as Alain Locke, a Rhodes scholar; Rudolph Fisher, winner of the Amy Sidman prize contested for 1925; Jean Toomer, novelist; Walt McCauley, contributor to magazine Rousseau; Charles and correspondent; Charles J. Johnson, director of research and journalism. National research league James Wollon consult in Venezuela and Nicaragua; Elise J. McBelley, lecturer and writer; Walter White, lecturer, magazine contributor, novelist, and others endlessly. It is going to be a question of how many museums Wollon joins to harmlessly write. Writing one of the articles in "The New Negro, an Interpretation," a book which Albert and Charles Boni are publishing, he says: "It is hardly probable that Negroes will hold Harlem indefinitely, but when they are forced out it will not be for the same reason that the other quarters in New York City. The situation is entirely different and without president. When colored people do leave Harlem, their homes, their churches, their investments and their businesses, it will become the land has become columbia, they can no longer afford it. Live on it. But the date of their arrival in the northwest in the future. I think there is less danger to the Negroes in New York of losing out, economically and industrially than to the Negroes of any large city in the North. Employment among Negroes in New York is highly diversified; in the main they are employed to work as individuals as employed to work as a mere Harlem is gradually becoming more and more a self-supporting community.

Ranus, an outstanding ecclesiastic of our group, was speaking Sunday at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Detroit, and telling his eager audience that the solution for the race problem is the religion taught by Jesus Christ, a prominent white clergyman in one of the leading white churches of the same city was preaching a different doctrine. Rev. Frank D. Adams, pastor of the Universalist Church, exploding the venerable doctrine that the white masses are friends of the Negro," declared the time for a speedy settlement of the race question had arrived if loss of human life and money are to be averted. After laying the blame for the present troubled state of affairs directly at the door of the white man, who brought the Negro here as a chattel 300 years ago, and who desires his presence in metropolitan cities of the north at this time because the Negro represents cheap labor of an interracial comission of the interracial comission to study with the end in view of bringing about safe segregation. "I realize I am dealing with a live wire when I take up the project," Dr. Adams said. "The time is almost past when the subject can be discussed dispensatively. This is true because the hatred toward the Negro in our modern society afflicts an innumerable older than it ever was in the South. The Negro should not be blamed because he does not carve to reside on Hastings street. He should not be blamed either because he buys in a white neighborhood, unconsciously working great harm to an honest white man whose life savings may be forfeited because in Negro life the real estate agent or landlord who makes the sale. This man is the traitor. "The community, acting as a whole, must solve the problem. Some desirable section of the city should be set aside for the colored population. It need be this should be done through condemnation proceedings. See to it that the like are equal to those enjoyed in any section of the city occupied by the average white wage earner. Make it possible for the Negro to secure homes here at a reasonable price and terms, and keep whites out of the district. For the Negro must work out his economic and cultural civilization in his own way, paralleling as closely as possible the conditions. This method will perhaps cost as much as to widen Woodward avenue but will be worth it." Dr. Adams concluded by suggesting that the Detroit Council of churches was the logical body to make the first move along these lines, stating the race problem here was purely one of social dissatisfaction and financial mischief said, working under direction of this body should cooperate in making the survey.-Exchange. Mother Zion Church Last Sunday marked the beginning of the Christmas celebration at the Mother Zion Church. Dr. Brown preached at both the Junior and Senior churches and "christ's Birthday."

CHURCH From among the many features attending Christ's birth, Dr. Cullen in his Christmas. Sunday morning in the text "And it was noised that He was in the house." "There are times when it is shapelessly to keep quiet about the sons who could help you, but because of pressure they remain silent and let you suffer. It is wrong to withhold praise from God, and to despair of how the anglie choir first started the noise followed by the shephards and Herod until finally the whole world trembled. He noises sounded down the ages, declared Dr. Cullen, so that now He is the foremost, the only man, because without him there is no future happiness, nor any future rest." "It is noised that Jesus is in the house. He is In you." questioned the pastor. "He seeks close to where no man can hinder." At 4 o'clock in the. Cullen preached again. This time it was to n large star order and their guests. He talked on the personality of the wise man, stating that there were more than the generally supposed three.

C. Dec. 21. State Department officials in President Coolidge's Republican administration have just slammed the door on a request for increased wages signed by the messengers in the Department of State. The Republican officials not only declined to act on the petition for better pay, but warned the men that unless they worked even harder than they are now working that "some very drastic action" would be taken. In a petition addressed to the Secretary of State, men had pointed out that they were with the department the very lowest paid employees in any of the Federal executive departments in the capital. The reply of the administration was "Work harder." From the office of Chief Clerk E. J. Ayers (white), the messengers were handed a letter ordering them to pay strider attention to department rules "to the end that the department procure the exacting and efficient service while essential to a satisfactory performance of the office." Old 1923 department rules governing the conduct of messengers and laying down restrictions on their freedom were dug out and included as a part of the letter. "The attached copy of instructions to messengers dated October, 1923," says the letter, in part, "makes certain provisions which all messengers have been directed to strictly comply with." A copy of the report time of arrival of messengers shows that these instructions are not now being satisfactorily compiled with." "No Tips." Among the rules which messengers will have to observe to the letter hereafter are the following: Messengers will arrive at the department to their morning work in every particular prior to 9 o'clock. They will be expected to remain on duty till such time as may be deemed necessary by the chief of their office, to whom they will port and by whom they will be issued prior to leaving for the day. Dark clothes will be worn and coats kept on during office hours. Alertness and attentiveness will be required at all times. Reading of any paper, memorandum or letter is strictly prohibited. Acceptance of tips is not permitted. The following are the messengers whose petition was turned down. Lloyd Sharps, Rufus E. Burnett, Edward Fauntoy, F. Harris, Ralph C. Walker, Isaac E. Edwards, Thomas Sayers, Willard H. Wheeler, George A. Thomas, Alfred Jackson, Warren McBeth, Howard H. Early, James O. Holmes, Charles Reeder, William W. Hawley, Victor Jones, Burnett Booker, Will D.

Negro Welfare Work for Craven County Proposed (Preston News Service) NEW BERN, N. C., Dec. 21—Organized public welfare work for Negroes in Graven County may be started here at an early date, as the result of a four-day campaign made by Lictur. L. A. Oxley, of Raleigh, director of Negro public welfare in Graven County, interested large local groups of both white and colored citizens in his betterment programs. Speaking at a largely attended mass meeting held Sunday afternoon at the West street graded school, Lieutenant Oxley presented forcibly the ideals of the State welfare program, as applied to this locality. Although touching on the issues of the State for defectives, dependents and delinquents, he spoke primarily of the constructive aims of the State organization. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 20, 1923 Rabbi Wise Admits Birth of Christ Rabbit Stephen S. Wise of the Free Synagogue declared Sunday to an audience which packed Carnegie Hall that, contrary to Hebridean teaching, Jesus of Nazareth was not a myth but a man, and that the Jews must accept the teachings of Jesus. He was in practical and unattainable, as the Jews say it is said Dr. Wise, then it is because the Christians have failed to live up to Jesus' teachings. He declared these teachings comprise a code of ethics unparalleled to our writings in history, being the very roundtails of morality. "Jesus was," said Rabbit Wise. "I hope this, despite the notion that I had been a man in my life—a notion that Jesus was a myth and never existed. I tell you, and I will-repeat these words to every Jew in the world if need be. 'Jesus was,' and we must accept this fact at once." Had Stupor Producing Powders, Says Cop Edgar Alken, 155 West Bound street, was held in $2,500 bail by Magistrate Harry Gordon in the Washington Heights Court Friday on a charge of violating the Narcotic law.

On a short affidavit in the Washington Heights Court Sunday morning Morris was held in $2,500 bail on charges of felonious assault and violation of the Sufflair law by Magistrate Harry Gordon. Native African Escapes Lioness by Feigning Death A lioness raided the Tahora Railway station. The natives at the station came face to face with the animal, which rushed at them and "patted" one on the shoulder. One native fell down and leaped death, while his comrades d camped. The animal sat down close to her victim and contended him with seeming bewilderment, says the Vancouver Proventure. The traffic inspector, Mr. Hurst, observed events from his quarters, and seizing a rifle, fired a bullet into the stomach of the lioness. She jumped high and made ready to charge, when a second bullet from the traffic inspector's rifle centered her heart and killed her. The native then rose suffering from nothing worse than fright. INSP. VAN KEUREN ASKS TO BE-RETIRED Inspector William H. Van Keuren applied Monday to Commissioner Enright for retirement on half pay.

Van Keuren was in charge of the district from 50th street to Washington Heights, from river to river. Ellen Davis Share in Will Upheld LENINGTON, Ky., Dec. 21. Ellen Davis, a former slave, more than 80 years old, bent and wrinkled, is now one of the wealthiest women of her race in the South. She, with her mulatto son, Robert Henry Hughes, and Alex Rankin have won a decision in the Kentucky Court of Appeals by the court that goes a large part of the $500,000 to them by John T. Hughes, one of the noted turfmen in Kentucky. Ellen Davis's share will be about $250,000, it is estimated. Her son, who admitted at the trial that he was the son of Hughes, receives a large tract of land, as does Rankin. Ellen Davis might, if she desired, have lived in Elkton, the famous old Hughes mansion, near Joseph E. Vilauer's Elmendorf estate, John the father of the holdings of Samuel D. Riddle, but she sold this part of the estate. Her son, it is hollowed, will sell his property and go to Buffalo, where he has lived most of his life. Alex Runkin will probably live on his farm. Colonel Junkin referred to him as "my old, faithful colored servant." Joseph E. Widener of Philadelphia has already bought a large part of the land of the estate, while Payne Whitney of New York has bought Eblink, unison, where he lived. He was the man where his kid, trying to break the will, contended the age, plunter was "dominated" by Ellen Davis. Amendments Cause Unrest Republican Congressman From Pennsylvania Includes Negro Enfranchisement Enactment WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 21.—Representative Thomas W. Phillips (R., Pa.), assailed recent amendments to the Constitution as a "series of innovations which have undermined rather than strengthened our Government. Prohibition fanaticism, religious intolerance, racial animosity and class hatred have created a serious situation and the end is not yet. We have sown the wind and our children will keep the whirlwind." Mr. Phillips' speech was of special significance as he is regarded as a possible candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania next fall. He said much of the unrest prevalent in America was due to the last five amendments, beginning with the Fifteenth, enfranchising the Negro, and ending with the nineteenth, with the nineteenth reason to show that sound reason was not always in evidence when Congress was dealing with those problems. He was bitter in denunciation of methods used to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, saying: "Lawless methods were to be expected from the pronouncements of the sponsors of the super-government which body was punished judicially for the enforcement of the penalties, distracted penalties and policies and beaten dead shots and desperate characters, who in the name of law and liberty were to enforce laws of doubtful propriety even before their legality had been established." "There caused a reign of terror, a miniature civil war, which his become intolerable. Not only the Prohibition law seek to make legally wrong the law, but it has caused much emphasis to be placed on this one law that other and more important laws have been overshadowed, and all but forcement." N.A.A.C.P. Reports Sweet Trial Cost N.A.A.C.P. Reports Sweet Trial Cost The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made a full report of expenditures in the trial of By, and Mrs. Sweet, and other officers in Detroit, showing that the total cost of the trial was $21,000, which was a small fraction of the federal branch of the N. A. C. A. C. and a civic committee of Detroit citizens headed by the Rev. Joseph Gomez. The expenditures of the national office of the N. A. C. A. C. to total expenditures including all fees of $4,000 to Chicago District, $2,500 to Arthur Goffel Hays and $1,000 to Walter M. Nelson. For travelling and lodging, expenses of attorneys and witnesses, telegrams and consular telephones, court and attorney's stenographer and builder, and the national office of The Department of the N.A.C.P. raised, in all $8,127.64 and appointed a disbursing committee consisting of its vice-president, M.L. Walker, Dr. E. A. Carter and J.W. Cooper, both members of the executive committee of the branch. This committee, which established a special bank account and made all its payments in a series of 53 runntered checks, spent a total of $5,871.15, leaving a cash balance of $224.19 in the fund of the Department. Among the disbursements of the branch were payments to investigators, witnesses, legal fees of $400 to each of the three local reported attorneys. In the case, fee of $250 to Walter M. Nelson, transcript of the court record, meals to defendants, while in full, printing, telephones and telegrams and advances to meet obligations of the imprisoned defendants. The citywide committee, under the leadership of the Rev Joseph Gomez, raised a fund of which certain sums were expended in conjunction with the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P. through a joint committee appointed for this purpose. These sums included J. Lotulli, Benjamin Darrow, $1,000 to Cecil Rowllette, Julian Jerry and Charles Mahoney, the local colored attorneys in the case, and $100 to Walter M. Nelson. The citywide committee reports a balance of $300. Ball bonds for all eleven defendants who have been released from prison were obtained by the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and furnished by Detroit colored citizens as follows: Dr. O. C. H. Sweet; $10,000; H. Shapiro; Dr. A. Thomas; Gladys Sweet; $5,000; Dr. A. Thomas, boudsman. Dr. Otis Sweet; $5,000; Dr. Lewis, boudsman. Henry Sweet; $10,000; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Johnson; bondsm. Henry Latting; $5,500; Rev. R. L. Brady, bondsm.

For Leonard Morsse, a professional bondsman was obtained to post $10,000 ball, for which the fax was $400, of which the Detroit branch paid $200 and the national office $20. A connection with the accounting, the N. A. A. C. P. pointed out as an instance of the heavy cost of such a trail, the transcript of record at 500 a page, running to 2,602 pages, which cost, in all, $2,081.00. From the cost of the first trial as given may be gained some idea of the sum needed for the second trail, which is included in the week in January. That this vital important case may be seen through to a triumphant conclusion there must be no leap in the raising of funds for it and the other cases the N. A. A. C. P. is handling. A Negro historical pageant, written by Miss Ethel Riley Clark and performed in New Bedford, Mass., netted $200 for the $50,000 Legal Fund.

CHRISTMAS is a day of gratitude the day on which God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world. That is why we who profess Christianity celebrate it by giving of our hearts, our lives and our worldly goods to those less fortunate than ourselves that they, too, may become imbued with the spirit of good cheer. GOOD CHEER does not come in a bottle, as so many people believe; nor should it consist in congregating in churches and fasting and praying throughout the day. Both are extremes which should be avoided; but if you have no prerogative except to choose one of the two, take the latter course and your chances of living to see the day after Christmas will be increased a thousand fold. Bottled Christmas cheer may mean death to you or your friends, so beware of it. Never mind who made it or who recommended it, ignore the "bottle smile" on Christmas Day and the odds are in your favor that on the following Sunday your body will not grace the long, narrow proportions of a box, while your friends chant "Nearer My God to Thee." "Corked sunshine" (or moonshine) and eternal darkness are poured out of the same bottle. BUT HOW CELEBRATE? By making those near and dear to you as happy as it is within your power to make them; by remembering the poor and needy; and by rewarding those who have rendered faithful service to you, both in heaven and on earth.

He had vast an engaging consent; he appeared one time in an Grand Central Station with a wine bearer bringing up the rear; and while with the small, gray-haired clerk at the information desk he quizzed mighty quaffs from a two-gallon jug, until he became so drunk that the small, gray-haired clerk set him by the seat of the brecches and threw him on the street, where he sat down on the curb and apostrophied the stars on the ingratiate of man he perennially in difficulty over women, he survived somehow.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Darrow's Radicalism To the Editor The Amsterdam News: Sir: The Sweets mass meeting was an inspiration. It was to me also a revelation of the Negro's real attitude towards religious liberalism; that is, to course, if the ambulastic reception accorded Mr. Darrow's modernest remarks was real and sincere. I wish to endorse Mr. Darrow's indictment of the Y. M. C. A., and would here suggest that as segregation and color discrimination are wholly alien to the spirit of Christianity that the "C" he dropped, and that henceforth we speak of the "Y. M. A." We have got used to the un-Christianity of white Christian (7) churches. They inherited the name, but there is no reason why a comparatively young society frankly un-Christian should be permitted hypocritically to style itself "Christian." Another point of local interest, Peter A. Walton in an article in Sunday's World, referred to a more highly educated Negro who at this Darrow's meeting lustly sang "Onward Christian Soldiers," and bowed his head in prayer but who for honesty's sake refused to repeat the Apostle's Creed. Will you be good enough to permit me to inform that Negro and the other Negro modernists who so enthusiastically approved Mr. Darrow's remarks that there is a litch church at 149 West 130th street which stands for the very type of religion which they apparently endorse. I invite them to fall in line and help us make this church a strong emancipating influence in this community. ETHELRED BROWN. 425 St. Nicholas Ave. Dec. 21 1925.

My dear Sir: I crave the courtesy of your columns to bring to your attention and the attention of the reading pub- le of what seems to me an insidious trap to unpro- tect me from the bad two illustrations within the last two months. I leave the course of your column to bring up your attention and the attention of the reading list of what seems to me an insidious trap to unprotect people. I have had two illustrations within the last two months. It is the habit of a number of the policemen in the Harlem district to suggest the name of some whiskey lawyer to any person who happens to be injured on the street. The lawyer in question usually turns up at the house within an hour or so after the injury. In the state of mind in which the person usually after having been knotted down by an automobiles and more or less seriously injured—the natural turns to the first one who profits help. The lawyer then his name or her name fee, but asks the person to sign his name or her name fee. Subsequent he returns to say that if there are any damages he covered he is to get half the amount—and the person is done out of what rightly belongs to him. If you could in some way warn the people through your columns against this practice, a great man well thinking and sincere people will not be caught in the trap.

Harmon Foundation to Award $4,000 for Distinguished Achievements WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—To give recognition and stimulus to creative work, the Harmon Foundation, on behalf of William E. Harmon, has provided $4,000 annually for awards for distinguished achievement. There are seven first awards of $400 offered annually to Negroes who have made distinguished achievement in various fields of endeavor, and one award to any person, white or colored, for outstanding achievement in race relations. Notice of above was made by Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, to which has been committed the executive direction of the awards. at the offices of the Federal Council of Churches, 105 East Twenty-second Street, New York City. All written matter or other material submitted with an application must have suffi- Seven awards are open to all Negroes of American residence of both sexes; the eighth award to the person white or colored "who has made the greatest contribution toward improving the relations between white and Negro peoples in America." There is also a gold medal for the first award in each of the seven divisions and a second award of $100 and a bronze medal; the eighth award will carry with it $100 in money" and a gold medal. The classes of awards are to be as follows: Literature, music, fine arts, industry including business, science including invention, education, religion, and the award for improvement of race relations between the white and Negro peoples in America. The purpose of the "William E. Harmon Awards, for Distinguished Achievement" is "to give recognition and stimulus to creative work." "They are especially designed," the statement continues, "to bring public recognition to persons who have made some worthwhile achievement who have not yet received such recognition." Awards are to be made January 1, which is the date Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and will apply to work done or completed during the twelve months ending June 1, preceding. There will be five judges for each award. Three of the five judges will be persons recognized as outstanding in their particular fields. At least one will be a Negro. The two other juries will represent the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. The decision of the judges will be final and neither the commission on the Church and Race Relations nor the Harmon Foundation will be in any way possible for expenses or losses to candidates in connection with any award. The scope of the awards is as follows: The first award in literature — includes poetry, short story, essay, book, newspaper articles or a play of two or more acts. Candidate for awards in music may offer song scores, instrumental scores for small instruments or ensemble works or operas, or performance in instrumental or vocal music or in the drama. Painting, sculpture and allied subjects are included under fine arts. The award in industry includes creative achievements in agricultural, manufacturing or mechanical pursuits or trade and commercial enterprises. In schools or the physical, biological or social sciences, or inventions of proven utility or promise may be presented. Education includes achievements in the field of educational organization, context, method or practice or educational publicity. The award in religion is for achievements in religious organization, religious education, social service in connection with recognized religious agencies or any outstanding contribution to personal religion or theology. The eighth award concerning race relations will be given without distinction of color. No award will be made except for some achievement of an outstanding character that is a distinct contribution within its given field. As these awards are to be given for achievements of national significance and interest, in case there are no entries in any class having this outstanding character, no award will be given. Applications and recommendations for next year 1925 may be filed on and after January 1 and must be filed not later than June 1, 1926, with Dr. Geo. K. Haynes at the offices of the Federal Council of Churches, 105 East Twenty-second Street, New York City. 'All written matter or other material submitted with an application must have sufficient postage for delivery or must be prepaid by express. No manuscript or other material submitted will be returned unless full postage or express charges are enclosed. Further detailed information will be available from the same address or from literature available at many schools, colleges, churches and similar places. Resolutions and Bills in Congress WASHINGTON, D. C. Among the flood of bills and resolutions already presented to Congress are three in which some of us are more or less interested. In the Senate, a bill to create a Negro Industrial Commission has again been introduced by Senator Cummins of Iowa. As at the last session, this bill will doubtless be strongly opposed by prominent colored citizens of various states, who claim that there is absolutely no occasion for the creation of a Commission to make inquiry into conditions that are generally known. In the house, a joint resolution has been reintroduced, by Congressman Wood of Indiana, to create a commission to secure plans and designs for, and to erect a, monument or memorial building in the city of Washington to the memory of the Negro soldiers and sailor who fought in the wars of our country, and in the late World War. While there is some opposition to this measure it is not an organized opposition. Those who sponsor the measure claim that the erection of such a monument would have an inspirational value to the thousands of colored people who visit the Capital of the Nation annually. In this connection, it has been pointed out that many citizens of other racial groups come here to visit Mount Vernon for the purpose of removing their partitionism and to seek the inspiration that comes from gazing upon the tomb of our first President, George Washington. In order to visit this sacred spot it is necessary to travel through the Democratic State of Virginia, where the "Jim Crow" laws smother the partitionism of the average colored citizen, and inspire him only with hatred for State institutions that make this embarrassment possible. Congressman Dyer of Missouri has also reintroduced what is known as the Anti-Lynching Bill and a similar bill has been introduced in the Senate by Senator McKinley of Illinois. Cardinal Gibbons Institute Rapidly Forges Ahead WASHINGTON. D. C. The Cardinal Gibbons Institute, which opened in 1924 at Ridge, Maryland, as a national training school for colored boys and girls, regardless of their church affiliations, is showing remarkable progress in its second year. It now has approximately sixty students, representing six states. It has a splendid two story concrete building for school purposes, a dormitory for girls, a principal's home, a dormitory for boys, a barn, and a two hundred acre farm, with equipment and stock. The institute is helping to reduce literacy in the Ridge district of Maryland, as well as to improve farming methods among the Negroes of the county. Jr. Ford truck is bringing small children daily from out-of-way districts to its elementary school; and its farm meetings and farm demonstrations will be im- --- proving farm methods, Free medical and dental clinics are improving local health conditions; and the Institute, which is now only one year old, is being felt throughout southern Maryland. Victor H. Daniel, a visorous and conscientious educator, is principal of the Institute. Kittrell College Gets Duke Painting KITTRELL COLLEGE, Tier-21.Of the many gifts that have come to Kittrell recently, none has given more pleasure to the college than a recent oilting of Washington Duke, the father of Mr. B. N. Duke of New York City and the late philanthropist, J. B. Duke. The picture is hung in the Chapel of Duke Hall. The college administration is busy formulating plans for the future development of Kittrell that, when dislodged, in all probability will be gratifying. The college faculty has been enlarged and strengthened. Such well-known schools as Boston University, Cooper Union, New Jersey Normal, Columbia, Cornell, Institute of Methods of Boston University, Howard University of Chicago and Wilberforce being represented. The president, Dr. G. A. Edwards, was among those who attended the funeral of the late J. H. Duke, held in Durham, N. C. A club has been organized among the teachers with a view to collecting and preserving certain folk-tales that are not widely known. Situated in a belt that is noted for its wealth of material in legends and mountain lore, the club feels that it has a great reservoir of possibilities of affiliation with the Folklore Fellow and making certain contributions to their publication. 'F. P. Communications' have been brought before the group. The director of music, Mrs. G. A. Edwards, gave a very interesting illustrated lecture Friday morning in the chapel on "Peer. Gynt Suite." The legends surrounding this beautiful suite were interestingly narrated by her. The numbers used to illustrate the theme of the suite were these: "In the thun of the Mountain King," "Singing," "Anatira's Dance," "Solvers Song," and "Asa Death." Friday night the members of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet were hosts to the members of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet and their friends. A very unique program was rendered during the evening. BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS THRIVE WASHINGTON, D. C. This has been a good year for building and loan associations, generally, and especially for those controlled by Negroes. New associations have been organized in a number of cities, where there are large Negro populations and where the housing situation is acute. The Cherry Building and Loan Association of Philadelphia of which Robert S. Jackson is President and Charles H. Brooks is Secretary, has loaned $2000 on mortgages and claims that not a penny of a stockholder's money has ever been lost during the 21 years of the Association's existence. Another successful organization is the Pyramid Building and Loan Association of Chicago, which has advanced more than $5000 during the seven years of residence to help finance the home buying and building activities of our group. The City of Baltimore leads in the number of building and loan associations operated and controlled by progressive colored business men. V. I. Delegation to Senator Willis of Ohio, chairman of the Senate Competee on Insular Affairs, last week offered the delegation of Virgin Islanders now in this country to secure civil government for the islands and citizenship for the natives a hearing before his committee at any time convenient to them. In all probability the hearing will be requested for the middle or latter part of January, as D. Herman Jackson, a member of the Colonial Court from St. Thomas, and of the delegation in this country, will be compelled to return to the islands shortly and will not return to the United States until then. The Virgin Islands have been under the rule of the United States Navy since their acquisition from Denmark in 1617. Bill No. 82768 is pending in Congress and other bills have been prepared to provide a civil government for the islands, and citizenship for the islanders covering those residing there and in the United States, for presentation in the House and Senate, and a hearing before the House Committee on Insular Affairs is being arranged. Bronchitis IN THE months of December, January, February and March people in this latitude are prone to attacks of acute bronchitis. This condition is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes. These tubes lead directly to the air spaces of the lungs, and thus this inflammation may easily advance down into the lung tissue. Because of this bronchitis becomes a dangerous disease. There are three varieties of acute bronchitis — simple catarrhal, capillary bronchitis and influenzaal bronchitis. These are the prevalent forms that are occurring from day to day. The cause of this disease is sudden exposure to dampness, chilly winds and severe changes in the weather. This disease occurs at all ages. The infant as well as the aged are prone to bronchitis. Sixty per cent of the cases of bronchitis in my practice occur in robust adults. In habies up to one and a half years old the small bronchial tubes deep down in the chest are the tubes most frequently attacked, and this variety is known as capillary bronchitis. During an attack of influenza the bronchial tubes also become inflamed and this variety is known as influenzae bronchitis. When the bronchial mucous membrane has been irritated by one of the foregoing factors its resistance is diminished and the germs and bacteria which are found normally in the throat and bronchial tubes increase their activity and an attack of acute bronchitis results. The chief symptoms of this disease are a severe cough, very dry and painful during the first 30 hours.
