SECTION ONE Cobb Appointed to Fill Terrell Vacancy RHINELANDERS RENEW LOVE All Races Are Lovable ALL races are lovable," said Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, noted white pastor of New York, last Sunday in his sermon on the "Mastery of Life." He had just eulogized Abraham Lincoln for his emancipation of millions of Negro slaves, and was undoubtedly moved to pass on to his blood kinsmen a lesson in love. "The Irish, the Italians, the Germans, the Jews are here," he said, "and it is our duty to like them and to treat them as Americans. I find all races are lovable." The lesson of Saint Paul to the Corinthians has made itself felt here and among a few whites, such as Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, Attorney Clarence Darrow, and others. Darrow, although angnostic, frequently acts a greater Christian part than those of his race who eloquently proclaim themselves to be divine. Too often tradition, custom, and fear crowd out the element of love, which, according to Saint Paul, when absent, leaves naught but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. When one takes an inventory of the great white Christian church and notes the silent acquiescence it has given to acts of omission and commission which have stiffed a tenth part of America's populace, it is indeed refreshing to hear one so great as Dr. Grant reminding his people that all races are lovable; that brotherly love, not hatred, is symbolic of Christianity; and that although it is obviously ignored, Christian duty is still present, despite the black eye which protenders are constantly giving it. Shaving the Barbers DOWN in "dear old Georgia" the frivolous ways of simon-pure economics are running riot, and all because the colored barbers of the august city of Atlanta are in dire danger of being shaved by the City Council. That is to say, their daily toil of bobbing hair and shaping goatees of their white patrons is about to be shaved away from them. In other words, so watchful has Atlanta come over interracial relations, either at work or at play, and so baneful has come the "barberism" of efficient col- President Durkee May Quit Howard President Durkee May Quit Howard Considering Accepting Plymouth Church Pastorate Here WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Dee- blos of the Lav. J. Stanley Durkee president of Howard University, whose resignation would be please far to a large number of students and alumni of the school, whether he will accept a call to accrue the right of Plymouth Congregational Church of Brooklyn, will be made with the next day or two, commenting on the offer, which was unanimously voted by the con- gression and officers of the church week. President Durkee said it was every flattering and wonder- ful. "I will give the matter the deepest, most careful and profound con- sideration," he said. Dr. Durkee for several weeks has filled the pulpit of the Brooklyn, N. L. church at the request of the trustee. Should Dr. Durkee accept the call, he will succeed Dr. Newell Jawtill Hills, who restra- nced on account of Bibbons October 1. Dr. Hills, who succeeded Lyman Abbott and Henry Ward Beecher, occupied the pulpit of Plymouth Church 25 years. Plymouth was made historic by Henry Ward Beecher, May 16.

Amsterdam News The Colored Weekly That is Found in the Average Colored Home TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes MEN WHO ATTACKED GIRL TO BE HEARD TOMORROW Case Came Up in West Farms Court Yesterday But Was Postponed Mother to Testify as to Age By granting an adjournment until tomorrow, Magistrate Silberman in the West Farms Court Tuesday morning extended the fate of the ten white men who are facing serious charges as a result of the death of Ruby Edwards, whose age is said to be 14 years. The girl was held a prisoner in a barn in the Bronx for immoral purposes for three days without tood, it is charged. Doubt as to the girl's age following a report made by Dr. Norris of Bellevue Hospital that her organs showed signs of maturity and that heart trouble was directly responsible for her death caused the authorities to insist upon the girl's mother. Mrs. Delta Walker, being sent for from Newport News, Va. Because she was without the necessary funds to make the trip, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is defraying her expenses. Besides identifying her daughter at the morgue Mrs. Walker has added the District Attorney in preparing for the prosecution. She will take the stand before the Grand Jury to testify as to her child's age. Long before the magistrate took his seat, a large number of curious persons had filled the courtroom. Magistrate Silverman took his seat at 10.35. Following two appeals for summons, the court attendant called for applications for adjournments. With their counsel eight of the defendants who were released on the short affidavit after furnishing their hall two weeks ago walked to the bar. At the first appeal the magistrate refused to postpone the hearing, the defense counsel then informed the court that no prince-fuele evidence had been produced and said that he would be inclined to ask for a dismissal of the eight men if the adjournment was denied. The men implicated in the case are: Safrino Amanteco, 20 years old, of 3132 Kinesbridge terrace, who was held in $5,000 bull because the police said he had a record, and seven others were held in $2,500 ball each. They are: Robert Volze, 18 years old, of 3334 Fort Independence street; John Fintich, 37 years old, of 3160 Albany Crescent; Theodore Coquillard. 32 years old, of 22 Sputen Duyvil parkway; George Volze, 21 years old, of 3331 Fort Independence street; Ernest Prontl, 24 years old, of 3332 Fort Independence street; Peter Matakes, 20 years old, of 3340 Kinesbridge terrace, and Victor Pullch, 24 years old, of 3250 Kinesbridge terrace. William Murhyn, 21 years old, of 3497 Fort Independence street, and Angelo Amanteco, 21 years old, of 3132 Kinesbridge terrace, were held in $1,000 hall each. IN JEALOUS RAGE, MAN KILLS HIS WIFE (Preston News Service). COLUMBUS, Miss., Feb. 15.—Jealous, it is said, because of attentions, it she had been receiving from the family of William Curtis, 23, willed his wife, Mrs. Curtis Trotter, aged 18 years, Monday afternoon by cutting her throat. THE LOVE OF A WOMAN Blanche Deas Harris Succumbs to Illness At one time one of the most beautiful in the younger set hero Blanche Deas Harris, prominent singer, died Monday at her home, 410 St. Nicholas avenue. Her death was a result of illness over a period of several years. After leaving a conservatory of music, the singer joined the Smart Set with H. S. Dudley. Desiring to achieve success as a singer rather than an actress, Mrs. Harris took up concert work. More recently her talent has been used in the activities of the Christian Science Church. Besides conducting a kindergarten, she assisted the choir. Mrs. Harris attended the elementary schools in Brooklyn. She later suited music at the Boston Conservatory. Woman Says Man Beat Her Defendant Waives Examination and Is Held for General Sessions Hopping to the bar on crutches Mrs. Milredd Do Suzuki, housewife, 450 Lenox avenue, appeared before Magistrate Francis McQuade in the Heights Court to press a charge against a man who she claims crippled her. The defendant, Ernest Dahney, 26, porter, 140 W. 144th street, was held in $1,000 bail for the General Sessions when he refused to be examined in the Magistrate's Court. According to Patrolman Brown of the 125th street police station, Dahney assaulted Mrs. Do Suzuka on January 19 while she was standing in front of her apartment building. The woman said that the prisoner came up to her and struck her several violent blows on the left side of her face. He then knocked her down on the sidwalk and kicked her repeatedly. Her leg, she said, was broken in several places by blows from the defendant. She was removed to the Harlem Hospital where she was treated. UNABLE TO PAY 40C TAXI FARE; JAILED For failing to pay a 40 cent taxi-cab fare, Willie Mason, 160 West 132d street, was sentenced to three days in the workhouse by Magistrate Well in Washington Heights Court Saturday. Mason was given an option of payment on $10 fee but did not have the money for his fine any more than he had the money for his cab fare. Charles Robertson, white, taxi-cab chauffeur, 514 West 50th street, drove Mason to the West 152d street station when the pennant was removed and he pocked were empty, and Policeman Blank arrested Mason. HAD REVOLVER IN HARLEM CABARET On a charge of violating the Sullivan Law, Salvator Zinnanti, 27, white, 215 Johnson street, was held in $2,500 ball by Maristrate Francis McQuade in the Washington Heights Court Monday for General Sessions. THE NEW YORK EXTRA PRESIDENT APPOINTS COBB TO BENCH WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 15.—The recent death of Judge Robert H. Terrell, which created a vacancy on the Municipal Bench of the District of Columbia, has been filled by the appointment by President Coolidge of Honorable James A. Cobb, an able and experienced lawyer, and a man of the finest character and connections. Announcement of Mr. Cobb's appointment was made Monday. Mr. Cobb had the support of several important groups, including Senator William M. Butler, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee' leading members of the legal fraternity, influential Senators and Representatives, and men and women of his own race, representing various schools of thought and influence. U.N.I.A. IN STIRRING MEETING REJUVENATES MOVEMENT Cheer Name of Imprisoned Leader and Plead for His Release—Mrs. Garvey a Speaker To listen to the protest against the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey, members and curious people half filled the Metropolitan Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Among the speakers were: Mrs. Marcus Garvey, Dr. J. S. Peters, Dr. E. E. Kawliins and S. L. Hunt. Black Cross nurses formed a choir and furnished songs that had Africa as their theme. "Africa for Those Who Are at Home and Those Who Are Abroad," the slogan of the organization and the crux of Garvey's program, was glorified by each of the speakers. The mere mention of Marcus Garvey caused the audience to applaud. As the speakers expressed their determination to fight for his release, women shouted their approval. Shouting at the highest pitch of her voice, Mrs. Garvey glorified the principles and ideals of her husband. "If Garvey dies in Atlanta, there will be a hot time in the world," she declared after informing her listeners that Garvey was ill when she visited him last week. She contended that she was not asking for Garvey's release for his own sake, but for justice's sake. In faying members of the organization whom she called "Pussy footers," Mrs. Garvey said that the reason the organization was not meeting in Liberty Hall was because they had betrayed their leader. Garvey has started the building of a nation and the building apartments in New York is too small to accommodate X. X. L., she screened. The slogan "Back to Africa," she said, had caused nations to tremble. "I have greater faith in Ameri- (Continued on Page 2.) A. & P. Store on Seventh Avenue Employs Colored Clerk The A. & P. store at 2022 Seventh avenue, in line with the pulley that has been advocated by The Amsterdam News, has in its employ a colored clerk, G. R. Patton of 181 West 135th street. Mr. Patton is said to be one of the most efficient clerks in the many chain stores of the A. & P. Co. Patton came to New York from Richmond, Va., about a year ago and has been studying at New York University. Before coming to New York he attended Virginia Union University. A Negro clerk is also employed in a Fifth avenue store. Boys Under 20 Held for Hold-Up Charged With Robbing Same Man Twice—High Bail Set Two youths were held in $10,000 ball each by Magistrate Francis McQuade in the Washington Heights Court for General Sessions charged with holding up a man over thirty years their senior and robbing him of twenty-five cents. Tracy Stubbs, 62, automobile mechanic, 106 W. 134th street, made the complaint against the boys who gave their names as Henry Brown, 19, 34 W. 133rd street; and Henry Seabrooks, 17, 70 W. 142nd street. Brown said that he was a plumber's helper and Seabrooks gave his occupation as a dishwasher. Stubbs said that prior to last week the prisoners held him up and robbed him of $8.50. He said that he had known the youths for some time and that on January 20 they came to his room about 11.30 p. in. Stubbs said that he was in the not of counting the money on a table when they entered the room. Brown, he declared, drew a knife on him and made him give over the money. Last week, Stubbs testified that he was accosted by the boys again and robbed of twenty-five cents. Upon cross examination the defense counsel attempted to establish an alibi that the defendants had been framed as a result of some differences that had existed between the complainant and the parents of the defendants. FINED FOR BEING DISORDERLY IN CASINO DISORDERLY IN CASING Charged with causing a disturbance in Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue, Melville Slangher, a stevedore, 115 West 135th street, was fined $10 for disorderly conduct by Magistrate Well Thursday in Washington Heights Court. JEALOUS RIVALS OF PEDDLER SENT TO PRISON White Neighbor of Eugene Fowler Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter—Another Convicted Justice such as it is was meted out by Judge Cohn in the Bronx County Court. Tuesday afternoon when he sentenced two Italians to Sing Sing for an indefinite term of five to twenty years on a charge of killing Eugene Fowler. morrow when he sentenced two Italians to Sing Sing for an indefinite term of five to twenty years on a charge of killing Eugene Fowler. 35, who lived at that time with his family at 484 College avenue, last April. Before a jury sitting in the court one of the prisoners pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree, while the other defendant was later found guilty on the same charge. Five other men who were implicated in the cruel death of Fowler were held in $5,000 each to await new trial. Fowler, who was a successful hackster in the Bronx, was husted to death with clubs and stones by a mob. It was learned that the mob was sponsored by the convicted men, who were his competitors. The man's skull was crushed and in spite of his plea for mercy, the gang made good their death threat. In the prosecution there was only one star witness. William Downs, who lived in the Bronx at the time, was looking out his window at the time the mob attacked the unfortunate man. Upon his testimony Assistant District Attorney Henderson was able to press the charge against the prisoners. While his wife was making preparations to go with him to evening church service, Fowler in company with his eight-year-old son was on his way to a private livery stable to feed his team of horses when he was attacked. Riotous and yelling the most vile epithets, the jealous and cowardly mob hurled the helpless man from the sidewalk. Realizing that even his mercy plea would not be heard, Fowler attempted to give his son a twenty-dollar bill to give to his mother. Some of the gangsters prevented his last act, however, by snatching it. It provoked the brady-occupied death when he said that one of the mobbers hurled a bricklet at him. Engene Jr. was the first one to inform his mother of his father's fate. Running with fear, he fell in the door of his home crying violently: "Mamma, mamma, mamma, they are killingapa. They're killing him." The moth raged on, and it was the end of the prosperous huckster. Since Fowler had been in the huckster business, he had purchased a home and accumulated a small savings account. His competitors made a number of offers to him to sell out his business, but he refused. Following the refusal to sell, threats were made continually against the man's life. Observers of the crime like Downs refused to appear in court. Neither appeals to the persons for their love for justice or their friendship would cause them to consent to take the stand. They said that they feared that their lives, too, would be jeopardized. Fowler's family now reside at 64 West 125th street. The lure of freedom was so strong for Clarence Tomlin, 25, of 167 Somerset street, Newark, that he leaped 20 feet from the window of a room at police headquarters where he was awaiting questioning Tuesday, and dropped into an alley and escaped. He was recaptured half an hour later. Tomlin sought to break his fall by throwing two telephone books and his overcoat out ahead of him to form a cushion, but he injured his right ankle and after his capture was treated at the City Hospital. Tomlin, along with Leroy Shoem, 30, of 52 Camden street, was arrested in connection with the holdup of William Dale, 38, of 528 West 123d street, New York. To Test Police's Cabaret Power Magistrate McQuade Issues Summons for Police Inspector To test the right of the police to summon managers and owners of incorporated night clubs to court under the pretence that they are violating the corporation ordinance. Magistrate Francis McQuade in the Washington Heights Court Monday issued a subpoena for Inspector of Police Day to appear in court to-day. Whether the crasside is a part of Commissioner McLaughlin's program to exterminate vice and check the crassive is not definitely known. Herman Starks, who is the manager of the Cotton Club, is the defendant in the test case. A police officer testified that he went to the club in evening dress in company with a policewoman. He said that they danced and drank for about two hours after midnight Friday. Upon cross examination by the manager's attorney, Richard L. Cunningham, the officer admitted that he did not pay any admission to the club and that he observed no signs that denoted that a fee was charged for admission. Under cross examination the policeman said that he saw a charter that was issued by the Secretary of State of New York hanging on the wall. He was instructed to go by his superior. Inspector Day. Hungry Man Asks Prison Sentence Hungry Man Asks Prison Sentence (Preston News Service) RALTHMORE, Md., Feb. 15—Hungry; tired; no home and no work. That was the situation in which Willard Bowle, 50 years old, found himself when he walked into the Western police station. Bowle was desperate. He needed relief and was going to get it. But stratified circumstances were not going to cause him to steal, he told Magistrate Pohlaus, after asking to be sent to the House of Correction. He had cast many temptations from him and in all his 50 years he had not even stolen anything, he said. Spring plowing held no fears for Bowie. When told by Magistrate Pohlaus that he would have to work on a farm, Bowie replied that he had been born and raised in Georgia and Maryland's farms could not be any worse than those in Georgia. Magistrate Pohlaus sentenced him to three months in the house of Correction. Man, Aged 104, Goes to Hospital and Dies Ernest Ray, who died at the New York Neurological Hospital Friday, was found from his papers to be 104 years old. Ray, a driver, was born on October 6, 1821. He had been living at 213 East 21th street. He walked to the hospital, complaining of heart trouble and died two hours after being admitted. Neighbors said Ray had 52 relatives, but no one claimed the body. PERSISTENT RUMOR HAS ALICE AND KIP REUNITED Reporter's Interview With Her Tends to Verify Report — Admits Interchange of Letters Rumor which has persisted for several weeks that Leonard Kip Rhinelander and his wife, Alice, had decided to forget the past and sail the marital sea together again was lent considerable impetus Monday when a daily newspaper published an interview a reporter had with Mrs. Rhinelander. Asked if she had seen him since the trial, Alice evasively replied "perhaps," but refused to say how many times she had seen him or where. "The details of our reconciliation should not come from me," she continued. "It was I who was on trial before the whole world for marrying Leonard and Leonard should be the one to tell the world that he is coming back to me." She refused to deny that she had been in communication with Kip. In fact, she admitted having received several letters from him. Last week's rumor was to the effect that Alice and Klip had been together. Rhinlander beetled to be hiding near Hartford, Coun. Counsmanion of Juries M. M. Hays of Westchester County drew Monday for jury duty in March George Jones, father of Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander. Jones was directed to appear in Part II on the first Monday in March. He owns property on Pelham road, New Rochelle, and has been a resident of that city for many years. On which Justice Young presides, is devoted to trial of civil cases and, as the calendar has several divorce and separation actions set down for trial, Mr. Jones may have a chance to pass upon other marital troubles than those in his own home. Clemency Denied 15 Jail Stormers (Preston News Service.) RALEIGH, N. C. Feb. 15.—Gov. McLean last Wednesday night declined to extend clemency to 15 men convicted several months ago for storming the Buncombe County jail. The men all were sentenced to prison terms. "The sovereignty of all the people of the state was trampled under foot and insulted by the mob when it attempted to take the law into its own hands," asserted Gov. McLean in declining the clemency which had been urged by more than 6,000 persons. The Governor said that the parish commissioner had made a thorough investigation of the case. He expressed his sympathy for the families of the convicted men and added that any suffering which they might endure he felt sure would be alleviated by the citizens and welfare organizations of Ashoville.

For the past eight years she has been principal of P. S. 119, Manhattan. Her work there has done much for the girls of Harlem by helping them to continue their studies, in high school.

Mr. Ferris is one of the best known and respected merchants of Lincoln. He has conducted the largest business in Oriental goods between San Francisco and Chicago for the past 19 years. His home, on N street, is one of the finest in Lincoln. He has several children, the oldest of whom is a prominent lawyer in New York City.

The only safe and sane answer to this query is: "It's up to the woman." Time has been when a woman abhorred the idea. Just why she changed is known only to the woman, so we will only concern ourselves with the propriety of this measure. A gentleman used to ask permission from a lady to smoke in her presence, but today he does not feel out of place if he offers her a cigarette. There is no especial condensation for the tobacco cohabit among women, for they have individuality and freedom of action the same as men; but should a woman stop and ask herself if smoking adds to her graces, her charma and her femininity, or increases that something within her at the same time as the fullest sense of respect, there would perhaps be less smoking in female circles. Every woman loves above all to be respected and admired, and she expends much of her energy to wring from her male admirers favorable comment. Everybody enjoys individual creatism and have the right to do as they please, but it is not always best to exercise this right. We are restrained by laws, written and anwritten, by custom and etiquette, by respect and consideration for the rights of others. No person has the right to condemn another for his faults, but he can suggest, advise or assist a less fortunate person and the effect will be more polignant and lasting than criticism. There is nothing constructive nor beautiful in condemnation. The real beauty lies in uplifting one from his undesirable tendencies. If a lady desires to use tobacco as a diversion, that is her own individual right, but her female qualities must suffer the inevitable consequences. Most men concede that women are superior to men in many ways. The Divine Creator endowed woman with "Motherhood," the most sacred earthly blessing. Motherhood and cigarette smoke don't make a very good blond. Picture a mother rocking a habe and puffing a cigarette, blowing the smoke into the air that the baby must breathe. It sounds ridiculous, but think it over. APEX PRODUCTS The Worlds best Hair Preparations AORNTS WANTED MARK ALL DURBES PLEASE TO THE APEX HAIR CO.

McCann says: "One of the curses of white bread and refined grain foods imposed upon humanity is constipation. A thousand illies are traceable to this disorder. Patent medicines by the hundreds have been marketed in order to help pill-consumers bridge over the misery their white bread inflicts upon them. "Constipation is the malevolent origin of the woes of many American women who, through the congestion set up by inhibited peristalsis, are afflicted with uterine and ovarian disorders that make their lives miserable." Drs. John H. Masser and George Morris Pleisler of the University of Pennsylvania say: "No clinical symptom is more clearly encountered in the practice of medicine than constipation. The commonplace and obstinate character of the infection is perhaps responsible for the prevalence of the idea that constipation is a necessary evil rarely capable of permanent cure. "As a result of this false and dangerous attitude the people are prone to look upon the condition with indifference, which allows them to be content with a certain degree of temporary relief, too often brought about by the easiest means at their disposal, namely, the use of purgative drugs. This attitude is not only erroneous, it is harmful. Constipation is but a symptomatic expression of some E TIME By Calling or Writing the MANHATTAN LAUNDRY SERVICE 118 EAST 129th ST.

"Dietic errors are among the most frequent general causes of constipation.

Professor Foges of Vienna says: "The human intestinal tract is the most prolific source of disease." Constipation is a disease of civilization.

Here will indeed be the "battle of the gods" of which Tex Richard dreamed, but which even he could not foresee when the crack Renaissance Five crashed into the recognition which only big time affairs in athletics can hope for at the hands of those of us charged with the recording of doings out of the ordinary. Rickard or somebody else coined that phrase to cover the joke battle between two big white hopes, and it did not fit as well as in the present instance when two teams, known far and wide for records which they have built up without padding, meet to decide once and for all which one should stand and accept congratulations when somebody whispers World's Champions, from far. brave lads as the Fighting Fifteenth.

STAGE ALL SET FOR ARMORY BATTLE Superiors Ready for Atlantic City Invaders Twenty-eight Straight for Crack Renaissance Five on Sunday "Phantom" Fiall Star of Game That Gave Local Team Victory Over Perth Amboy Quint — Canadians Coming. Twenty-eight straight on the old home court and still going strong! That's a record of which any basketball team would be proud, to say nothing of the many hard encounters these Renaissance players are going into each week out of town. Up there in the casino Sunday evening fans were treated to another one of those sizzling contests which have from time to time marked the contests between the white players and these crack race boys. Perth Amboy sent her best team to attempt to stump Renaissance, but the local players were primed for the combat and good old "Phantom" Google Flail reminded all hands that he is still hitting on all eight. First half ended 18-17, which proves how hard the mosquitoes pushed the New Yorkers. Second half found the Renaissance going into their stride to hold Hank Thomas and Regan who were doing good work for the opposition. Despite their heroic efforts Perth Amboy found themselves up against the hardest quint they have so far encountered, and at the conclusion the score was 47-36 favor Renaissance. The colored champs will meet the world heating Hofbrau Club of Canada this coming Sunday night. The Canadians are coming here preceded by a record which gives them a splendid reputation in their part of the country. Phi Beta Sigma Downs Omega Psi Phi, 23-17 RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 14.—The Sigma fast five met and defeated the Omega cagers here last Tuesday night at Johnson's Hall in the most thrilling contest over witnessed in the history of Richmond's floor classes. The game was fast and thrilling throughout. Clever floor work and accurate passing characterized both teams. Enthusiasm ran high, and in spite of inclement weather, the great hall was jammed with anxious spectators. The Omegas were booked to win, but it was impossible for them to break through the generalship and perfect defense of Sigma. The first five seconds netted Sigma one free throw scored by "Legs" Gardner, and for the next seven minutes of play neither team scored a point, so stellar was the defense on both sides. Sigma broke the suspense when Millberry caged a ringer from the center of the floor. Then business picked up, and things got lively. The first half ended with Millberry leading with a score of 10-6. The Ohio State came back strong, and Ballard 'Union's floor ace, tied the score in the first three minutes of play. Then Omega enthusiasm ran wild, but it was only short-lived. "Josh" hooked a difficult one over the shoulder of "Scrapy" who struck closer to him than a brother throughout the game. The last four minutes of play found Omega leading by one point, 17-16. The Sigma put their heads together and got away in rapid fire succession. Alton Taylor put a quietus on the affair by a clever throw from the corner. Ballard. "J. C." and "Scrappy" did pretty work for the Omegas. Gross proved to be a power in guard for Sigma. The shrill shriek of the whistle pronounced the end, with Omega bringing up the rear six points in the Sigma's wake. The game ended: Sigma, 23; Omega, 17. The Lampados defeated, the Crescent Club in an equally well contested game. The final score being 2S-20. The lineup: Phil Beta Omega Williams C Brooks Gardner L F Jackson Millberry R F Ballard A.

Nothing has been left undone in preparing a right royal welcome for the university players when they arrive in the State of the Mosquito to battle the boys fom Chester County on Monday night. Word coming to this city brings the information that New York City is also all het up and here will again see the hospitality to old Howard which was in evidence in the early days of the game, when the Washingtonians stood at the very top of the ladder. This game will take place Tuesday night at the Renaissance Casino. All the New York chapters of fraternities and sororities, college clubs and alumni associations are supporting the move in the interest of Howard University.

An extra period preliminary game, by the Rinky Dinks over the Winwathas, 44-40. Lying up the junior series, had the 800 fans on edge for the big contest but aside from the gleeful evening of Buccaneer supporters the contest was without a thrill except the stellar performance of Raymond Green, who while scoring six field goals aled Bill Howard to two baskets, in his thirty minutes of play before being relieved by Wayman. While the Bucs used six players in their victory their machine-like precision never changed. Brilliant passing or dribbling, eagle eyes for the net, outscoring the Vandals 18 to 13 haskets from the field, speed and spirit spelled victory for the winners. The Bucs are coached by Eddie Matthews, former St. C. and Alpha star. Lee, Jackson, McAlain, and Gregory played well for the Vandals while Green.

Announce their Annual Matinee Dance Washington's Birthday, Monday Afternoon, Feb. 22, 1925 At GATES CASINO 879 Gates Ave., near Reid Ave. Atlantic City Five to Invade Sacred Confines of the Church City Atlantic City Five to Invade Sacred Confines of the Church City Seashore Players Coming to Do Battle With Crack Superior Team at Labor Lyceum Thursday, Feb. 25 Brooklyn is certainly getting her share of the season's basketball plums. Following such whirlwind contests as the games with the Yonkers "Big 5," Philadelphia Panthers and the Lewis "Big 5" comes the announcement that the Vandals of Atlantic City will be the opponents of the "Lightning 5" at Labor Lyceum Thursday evening, Feb. 25. The success of the Superior management in securing this attraction for the borough is very commendable, for, although Gotham's teams have annually met the resort players in Atlantic City they have experienced little success in bringing the Jersey athletes to New York. However, the Vandals are coming; and coming with the sole intention of trouncing the "Soups" on their own court, thereby reversing the 27-24 defeat they sustained at the hands of the Brooklynites in Atlantic City. This is certainly a tough assignment for any team even though we must take the height and weight of the Vandals into consideration. And since the acquisition of a center that can give them the tap the "Soups" are a much improved team. Always having been ranked as a grade "A" quint, the Vandals are playing exceptionally fine basketball, the lineup of Howard and Alboy at forward, "Legs" Lee at center, and Jackson and Freeman, guards, is one to be feared by the best the country offers. They have proven their class by defeating such teams as the Philadelphia Panthers. Philadelphia Flashes. Carlslef. C. of Washington, D.C., and numerous others of note. "Legs" Lee, one of the tallest centers in the game, is the leader of the Vandal offense; protected with All-Power, an accountable for most of the Jersey team's scoring; an interesting battle is expected when he clashes with "Bill" Bartlett, the "Soups" new pivot man. Prof. Vernon Andrade and his Renaissance dance orchestra seems to be an installation at the Superior games; every time he plays the fans want more of him. Good work, Vernon! Salem Stops Monmouth Boys The Salem Crescent A. C. treveled to Ashbury Park on Feb. 11th and flashed such a brand of speed and accuracy that the Monmouth Lodge of Elks' basketball team were completely bewildered. The score of 38 to 23 does not begin to tell the tale. The fairness of James Bluford of Ashbury Park High School team, as referee, insured a fast game and the regular patrons of Monmouth lodge were well pleased to see a fast and furious game with not a cross word. Hurrah for Jimmie Bluford, the only Negro player on a high school team in that part of Jersey! Watch him boys. Watch Mysterious Mystics of Salem, the best in the amateurs.

In the preliminary game to the world's championship battle between the Renaissance Big Five and the Original Celtics, which will take place next Monday night at the spacious drill shed of the 369th Infantry, the Cavalry Detachment of West Point will meet the Armory Big Five of the 369th Infantry N. Y. N. G. This game, which is scheduled to start at $30, is a return game, the locals having scored over the "Horsemen" last week in West Point. The 369th team so far this year have compiled a record which any team would be proud of, and can be depended on to capably represent the local outfit. Sergt. Marshall, manager, is taking his charges through one of the toughest schedules of their career, and the boys are playing themselves into condition for the hardest of competition. The squad, consisting of Anthony Hicks, Louis Garcia, Eddie Corbin, Thornton White, Teddy Anderson, Lloyd Gaynor, Leon James, Norman Rucker and Johnson, is made up of a combination of younger players, who have taken the court against such strong white teams as the Starling Grays, Floral Park, Elmendorf Big Five, Troy and Albany teams of the New York State League, Silent Separates, Wayne Hive, Five, Plainfield Professionals, Ninth Coast Artillery, 12th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Bronx He . brews, New Rochelle, Yonkers, and Ossining Five. St. Mark's Church Team St. Mark's Progressive All-Stars journeyed to Philadelphia Saturday night and defeated the crack Nassau Five, of Pearle street, who haven't game this season. Fast team work, clever passing and good shooting were the outstanding features of the game. Paperweight Brown and Kid Landrum ran true to form and brought the house down, pulling their fucks shots all over the court. The first half ended with the score of 27-6 favoring Pearle Street Five. St. Marks got away in the second half, making shots right and left. There was five minutes to go, and the home team led by two points, 30-23 when Sonny Hough scored a goal from his knees, trying the game. The crowd just went nuts. It was nip, and tuck from then on until a half minute to go: Pearle Street lost the ball on walking. Smith passed it to Landrum who tried to dribble down the court, but was fouled. That, too bad foul shooter pocketed both shots, ending the game with a score of 22-30 in favor of St. Marks. Keep the good work up, boys! St. Marks, 32 Pearle Street, 38 Brown . . . L.F.

BUFFALO FIGHTER WINS FIRST BOUT HERE All Star Card at Commonwealth This Week Some Hectic Bouts at Commonwealth Sport Club Last Saturday Night Some Hectic Bouts at Commonwealth Sport Club Last Saturday Night New Colored Fighter From Buffalo Makes His Debut by Knocking Out Another One of Those South American Champions Sammy Vogel, Harlem's lightweight, who seems to have discovered his real ability of late, hung up another suspicious victory for himself when he all but knocked out Johnny Rocco, New Rochelle's leading entrant in the division, in their feature ten-round attraction at the Commonwealth S. C. last Saturday night. For the first two rounds of the tilt. Rocco held his own fairly well, but in the third canto Vogel shot over a left to the chin that sent Johnny down for a nine count. After that the fight was all Vogel's. From the time he arose from the floor, Rocco seemed to be a different fighter, doing a good deal of unnecessary holding that met with the crowd's displeasure. Even Deputy Commissioner Daniel H. Skilling, at the ringside, was impressed with Vogel's showing. At 13:14, Sammy was a half pound fighter than Rocco. Eddie McMahon Offers All Star Card Saturday Three Tens With a Star in Each Will Grace Commonwealth Sport Joe Malone, the Bronx feather, got a good workout in the seminal ten when he easily outpointed Tony Gervel, the East Sider. Gervel fought in sports, usually making a rally late in each round, and too late to mean anything. Malone seemed to be in fine shape for his community title bout with Carl Dunny, the Steamroller, at the Garden on March 1. He went through the ten rounds cooly, and hitting clean all the way. The heavy punishment he delivered to Gervel's body had the East Sider very well weakened in the final round. Gervel's best round was the third, in which a right staggered alone. Joe recovered quickly, though, and held his own through Gervel's rush to take advantage of a possible knockout. Malone tipped the beam at 127½. Gervel at 127½. Oakes Wins by Knockout. The first ten onboard on the bill titrated rapely, and showed Jack Oakes, Gas, Amo's, colored buffalo middleweight, possessed of two listed ability. Oakes stopped Petro Godin, the Mongevideo wrapper, in 2.51 of the fourth round. Oakes took the lead in the open- ing round, sent Godin down for a nine count on a right to the jaw in the second rattle, sent Petro down in the next for a three count in a right to the jaw and then Godin down for a count in the fourth on a right in the pit of the stomach. Godin arose from the seven count in the fourth stanza staggering and weak. A rapid fire of thus and left to the head sent Godin down again, and his seconds immediately tossed in the towel. Oakes weighed 153. Godin 158.15. In four tough, rough rounds, Billy Wiley, 132, Yorkville, out- pointed Frankie Latimer, 131, Bronx, the examateur ace, Jack Sullivan was third man in the five, while Joe Brennan and Carley Draycott Judged. Salem-Crescent Bouts Salon-Crescent boxers recently made a clean sweep of the New York A. C. tournament, winning into four of ten bouts in the preliminaries. Mateo McDavid, a boxing was the only man to defeat after a hard struggle. Lail Jefferson, 160lb, class, was Mateo in the semifinal in the second round. He was the only boy seen the club to suffer defeat by him. Harold Streeter, our capable manager, piloted the other boys to history, and we were finally re-reported four winners in the finals out of six classes. The best bout of the night was between George Armstrong and Nino Tucker, both of the Salem Present A. C. The boys are in the 118-lb. class. Armstrong won after scoring four knockdowns, and being floored once himself. This was the final of the 118-lb. class. George Stewart won the 135-lb. class. Rube Victor won the 147-lb. class, scoring three consecutive K. O. George Adams won the 160-lb. class. He is a likely looking victor with a fighting heart. A looting cup will be offered to the club scoring the most points in three tournament games. This was the second of the series. Salem Club has 29 points to her credit. So for she is in the lead. The next tournament will be held in two weeks. Schwartz and Cohen Matched Benny Schwartz and Wilbur Cohen have been matched to meet in a ten-round bout at the opening boxing show of the Armory A. C. of Philadelphia on Wednesday evening, Feb. 17. These youngsters ought to put up an interesting goat as they both are good punchers. Both fighters are in fine condition for the go. Eddie McMahon Offers All Star Card Saturday Three Tens With a Star in Each Will Grace Commonwealth Sport Club Card Three star ten-round bouts will be offered by Matchmaker Eddie McMahon at the Commonwealth Sport Club the coming Saturday night. There's one fighter in one of the ten who, boxing most anybody, would be sufficient to bring out a large number of fans. That fighter is Black Bill. For some reason we have tried but failed to fathom, any number of white fans will go a long distance to see Black Bill in action—in the hope of seeing him get licked. But Bill has been a most disappointing little cuss to these fans as he usually breezes through winner, even on those few occasions when they hand his opponent the decision. In the clinches this little Cuban fighter can so successfully tie up the enemy, the fans bent on seeing him get whipped usually raise a cry of derision, hoping thereby to discourage the Cuban. But he pays them no mind and goes right ahead whipping all corners. This week he is paired with Eddie Ziegler. In another ten Bud Gorman will meet Carl Carter, Cuban heavy, while in the other Bruce Flowers will trade wallops with Sid Conn. The consistent good work of Black Bill and Flowers gives the fans of color good reason to place their hopes on these fighters, but in the case of Carter Ethiopia stands aloft. This is the first mixed all-star attraction-staged at the Commonwealth for some time and colored fans will not be able to fulfill any reason for remaining away from the Commonwealth this Saturday night. With the Billiardists By OLD IVORY. Quite a reunion was held at the Emporium last week when the Salem Crescent basketball team, who were on their way to Asbury Park, stopped in to say "Hello" to one of their old members of the days when the Crescent was in the ascendant, Mgr. Willis, who was a very enthusiastic supporter and could always be counted on for counsel and support. Axel, Jones, and Lefftwh are still in the game of B. D. and billiards for recreation. There is mail at the Emporium for several of the old patrons who have not been seen for some time, come on, boys, ask Perdie for it. You know! The congeniality of that old-timer, Bob Lacey, is being noticed on the pocket billiard and of the Lafayette. He believes that as you respect yourself others will do likewise. This spells more business and better order. Lester Hamilton and Isaacore Myers played a very interesting match of 150 points, straight billiards last week. Hamilton won 150 to 128. The Billard Room Owners Association of Greater New York has appointed their Dinner Committee for this year. Rosenbaum. 14th street; Marcus, Ann street; and Willis of the Lafayette Emporium. This is their annual affair and consists of dining and dancing. The Colored Amateur Billiard Players are getting their entries for their annual 13-2 balkeline match, which will be the closing match of the season. Their annual election of officers and banquet will take place soon. Shakey, all around billiardist, surely has the Indian sign on Clazell Winn and Clarence Jones. He defoated them both in stoke match game of straightrail billiards last week and also defoated Martin Norman at pocket billiards, playing 70 to his 50. Oh, boy! The Amsterdam News of Fice will be on all day Washington's Birthday Monday February 22, to receive ad vertisements. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 17, 1926 Buddy Saunders Leaving for the Antipodes Friday Falling to Connect With the Topnotchers as He Would Like to, Boxer Will Try His Luck Elsewhere. Buddy Saunders, one of the best known among the colored fighters of the present day, will be leaving for Australia this Friday to try his luck in far-off lands. Buddy has had a hard time inducing the managers on this side to give him the shots he thought he was entitled to, and in setting sail for the Antipodes it is with the intention of proving to the doubting ones his ability. Saunders will go to Vancouver first, sailing from there to Honolulu and other places in the Japanese Empire. He will be under the management during his stay abroad of those behind the Arena, one of the biggest boxing clubs in Australia. Buddy is following in the footsteps of Anselm Bell, the former Kid Buller, who made a successful trip to the Antipodes some time ago and fought and defeated some of the best boys on that side. He hopes to get the chance he craves upon his return to the United States. Professor Anderson Offers an Unusually Big Program Celebrating Anniversary of Class in Fitting Style at Elks' Auditorium, Assisted by Many Stars. Professor Charles H.

Scott, Mary Terry, Burgos and Harris, Walter Valentine, Johnito Watt and Frenchy and Viola, Prof. Warren Green will act in the capacity of floor manager. Stecher Leaves Town for Rest at His Home Joe Stecher, after consultation with his brother and manager, Tony Stecher, left New York yesterday for Dodge, Nebraska, his home, to undergo a complete rest for two weeks. Interviewed just as he was boarding the train Stecher declared that the pace had been a little rapid this season and that he needed the rest. "No one realizes," said Joe, "the amount of energy I was called on to give when I wrestled the veteran Russian, Ivan Poddubny. The match was nip and tuck all the hands and bring all the sources to hear to finally pin this wonderful wrestler. Since then I have been filling a number of engagements and I need a rest. I am going home to get it and nothing will induce me to wrestle until I am thoroughly rested." The thousands who witnessed Stecher's match with Poddibby will not be surprised at the champion's decision to take a rest. It was by far the best wrestling match seen in New York in years and it is still a matter of wonder how Stecher was able to finally overcome the Russian. Stecher's decision comes as a hard blow to promoters throughout the country where the champion was booked for a number of many Hamilton Lodge to Give Old-Fashioned Ball Hamilton Lodge No. 710, Grand United Order of Old Fellows, will hold their original celebrated old fashioned masquerade and civic ball at Renalssance Casino, 183th street and Seventh avenue, Friday night.

"KIT KATS" HOLD FORTH AT COACH- MEN'S HALL First Reception of Well Known Young Ladies Voted One of the Best Among Younger Set It is dangerous to detain a person with a touch of the romantic to write about such an affair as staged by the "Kit Kat Club" at the Coachman's Hall last Saturday evening, for such a person would be inclined to pull back the curtain of time and romantically on an age where he found all that youth expect, and life could give. Verify, recognizing the faces of those you knew in their early girlhood, when "knighthood was in flower" unconsciously brings back the inspiration which they gave as young women just entering into that stage of their lives when the call of romance is at its best, and to gaze upon those countenances allow with the joy of life and living transcends other joys which have taken their place as most commonplace in a material world. That of which in girlhood they gave promise was there to behold in all its grandeur, and the reward for one's effort in a smile, a warm embrace and a hearty hand shake helps one to grow old gracefully even though time might have flecked one's hair with gray. And let one not confine himself to the irresistible charm of the ladies. Those whom we know as boy are rounded out by two young girls who were there to enjoy the night and take their inspiration to go on in their chosen and various lines of endeavor. It is said of Bert Piles and Edgar Perkinson that it is their intention to come up with with every generation, but looking at him whom we dubbed "Little Perkle" copiously indulging in the cup that chooses in a day when prohibition has taken away from that same cup the kick wherein rested the dangers of yore, we were forced to the conclusion that Perkle and Bert were among those who enjoyed the night to the fullest. True, there were many others that we knew; hold Captain Wilson, skipper of the once famous Moonlight Ship, attended by his charming consort, was among those present. Then there was Harry Brown who in early years helped to place the smart in Smart Set Club. He too was accompanied by his better half. We admit with all press out that while the music did not measure up to what we expect in this day of expert Jazz, still the musicians were making some kind of a musical noise which kept all hands busy dancing. We are not kicking on the music; just remarking. This was the initial affair of the merry Kit Kats, and the only complaint that we can find to register at this time is the knowledge that it will be too long even if they made it next week before they stage another affair of this kind. The hall was beaifully decorated and the folks with their vcolored caps, flanked by streamers and confetti was it confettit the wife found on our coat and which we have been trying to explain ever since Saturday night?) had a most enjoyable time. The roster of the Kats show such well known names as Genevieve Brewster, Edna Drayton, Amiee North, Marion Wells, Marguerite Hart, Hattie Lester, Mary Harris, Bernadine Burrell, Alberta Love, Geraldine Morris and Luclie Wade. If there be eyes looking upon these few words with envy because we did not find pleasure in speaking so well and so long of others, let it be remembered that here among this charming bunch is where we found the inspiration of yesteryear which made it possible for us to still be a small cog in the machine which weekly turns out this journal for the edification of readers of sundown hue, fley, hey! INSURE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR NEXT ENTERTAINMENT BY SECURING THE Imperial Serenaders LIEUT. J. W. PORTER (Conductor) Residence: 1970 Seventh Ave. University 1703 Office: 160 West 129th Street Morningside 5435-3685 Indiana Big Five Will Meet Tuxedo Tigers, While Tattler Girls Will Hook Up With Tuxedo Girls. Swinging into line right along with the big fellows of the game, the Indiana Big Five will go into action on Monday afternoon against the Tuxedo Tigers of New Jersey in the big game at St. Mark's Hall. In the preliminary game the Tattler Girls will meet the Tuxedo Girls. There will be dancing before and after the games which will start promptly at 2 o'clock. The Indiana Five have been making a good showing in contests both here and out of town, and while they have not been able to pile up consecutive victories, their games have been of a thrilling nature. Although basketball games between the race young indies seemed to have fallen from grace in that such contests are only preliminary to the big games, we understand that the meeting of the Tattler and Tuxedo girls will be a hot one as these teams are aiming to reach the top by their strenuous efforts. All in all, Monday afternoon should hold some interest for lovers of good, clean games. Leondi Club Memorializes Lincoln and Douglass (Proston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. 14. Declaring that Frederick Douglass wanted Negroes to develop and grow as American citizens without the consciousness of their color, Judge Albert Georgo of the Chicago Municipal Court sounded the climax of oratorical eloquence at the Sixteenth Annual Lincoln-Douglass Banquet of the Loendl Club on February 12. He was preceded by Commissioner Karl F. Philips of the Department of Labor who cogitized Abraham Lincoln. Under the direction of Chairman Henry Lindsay a sumptuous repast was served prior to the entertainment program in the beautiful parlor of the Loendi Club and at 11 o'clock the rooms were closed and the guests, after having garnished the inner man with the choicest of edibles, were prepared for a treat in oratory and music which began with "Celestil Aida" immittably sung by "Pittsburgh's lyric tenor, Robert D. Mahoney." Judge George was in fine fettle and stressed the independence of Frederick Douglass who, the speaker said, half proved that self-help and preparation were the chief cornerstones of the Race's progress. He urged the Race to unity and openness of purpose, reminding them that America was their country and fatherland and that they should strive to make its standards in loyalty, progress and efficiency. Mr. Phillips showed that the influence of Lincoln had come down through men and through ages. He trounced Lincoln as a statesman rather than as a reformer and showed how the national spirit of the Emancipator had pervaded Thadeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, and other notable statesmen who resolved that universal equality should obtain in America. Miss Charlotte Enty presided at the piano with pleasing personality and sympathetic touch and interpretation. The entertainment committee, was more than zealous to make this year's banquet surpass all previous ones. Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. Elizabeth N. Elliott of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mrs. Albert D. George, wife of Judge George, and Carey B. Lewis, of Chicago. The banquet committee consisted of Henry Lindsay, chairman; Jared D. Artter, secretary; John J. Singer, Ira P. Lewis, James B. Johnson, Clifton Holmes, T. Holly Reed, Anthony S. Perpener, Carl H. Hardy, William P. Bayless, Amos Galloway, Marshall Lowery, Atty. Frank R. Steward, Thomas A. Cyrus, Engene W. Lawls, William E. Hance, Elliott C. Alexander, Raymond Jones and George W. Elliott. Normal Cagers Win Feature Tilt From Tuskegee MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 14.—The Tuskegee Institute "Tigers" were not able to throw a damper on the State Normal School Foundation's excuses nor were they strong enough to break the winning streak of the flashing "Hornets" when they clashed on the latter's basketball court Tuesday afternoon and were defeated by the score of 33-28. Normal cohorts, with the exception of Captain Holt, who did not enter the game from the start, were in the best of form and spirit. A minute after the whistle blew Wilson was leading the "Tigers" with the first basket. He was soon followed by Campbell. Near the latter part of the half, Coach Harris sent in Captain Holt, the most sensational shot in the conference, who lived up to his name and led the quintet to a 14-12 victory in the first half. Soon after the playing was resumed, the SEVEN Tigers were leading. Campbell, Moore and Jowers managed to score along with them until Captain Holt again entered the game and relieved the packed gymnasium of some of its intense anxiety by, running up the score, which stood 33-23 at the close of the game.

The defendant was a watchman employed at the Alberts avenue crossing of the Long Island Rail- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 17, 1926 News of Brooklyn and Long Island JULIAN MAKES RINGING RACE APPEAL "Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who to this worthy cause will turn his head" Members of the Negra Race: I again come before you appealing for making possible the purchase of a new plane. For months I have labored, visiting the panes, in quest of the best that was possible, Monoplane. Finally, my search was rewarded 1925, at the air races. During pain and agony sling from a recent aeroplane catastrophe, on a Wright Ballance Monoplane, which was in the air. The plane itself attracted the attention the races, and after the judges had awarded Wright Ballance had scored 602 points, or 84 points competitively—better than any aeroplane efficient engine that could, that this will be very much suited for my trip. I would like to call your attention to a which occurred at the factory of the Wright Paterson, N. J., during my visit, with the object for the purchase of that type of plane. Imagical Company, one of the largest aeronautical producing an aeroplane that has won the scientists as a marvel to the aeronautical wint thousands of dollars to perfect this type of plane by a Negra aviator, requesting the purchase of a new engine that would not be able to buttability; second, qualifications; third, proper impossible was made possible. Mr. Ballance, the designer of the plane Wright Aeronautical Company, was mainly an Aeronautical Company's acceptance of an order. About four years ago, at the Omaha, Nebraska in meeting Mr. Ballance. The student in my aeronautical work, and I won Ballance told his company that "Julian is a capable flyer, but with a plane that is half a person every day, and he was positive have nothing to fear so far as the best plane made was concerned. I must admit that I was very much elated coming from such a gentleman as Ballance world War. Such recommendations help one barrerei. After going over the entire route of the Monrovia, Liberia, with the Wright aeronautical them what I wanted the plane for and what I of doing. I was indeed very elated to receive a plane from the engineers, and I decided to supply me with the type of plane propriate for the trip. That was very satisfactory, indeed, but about the thing that interested me most was Why, $50,000 for that type of plane would have plane, duralim pontoons, Wright Whirlwind of flying for three hundred hours without the cabin type of plane, pilot all enclosed, elect will be no danger of breaking my hands and other aeronautical advantages too numerous without stopping to refuel, at the entire cost sum of $19,600 complete, delivered and resized Wright aeronautical guarantee. Another important barrier surmounted, supplying of gasoline and oil for the entire various point en route, gasoline shipped to I will have sufficient gas for my transatlantic I have the pleasure to inform you that Mr. Dent of the West India Oil Company, a subs Company, wrote me a letter stating that the company had decided, upon my request, to a Fast Aircraft Company, to supply the various points, that also was too good to be true. So the horse, and the oats for the horse. I again come before you appealing for your financial support in making possible the purchase of a new plane. For months I have labored, visiting the various aeronautical companies, in quest of the best that was possible along the lines of a Super-Monoplane. Finally, my search was rewarded on the 8th of October, 1925, at the air races. During pain and agony, with both hands in a sling from a recent aeroplane catastrophe, my attention was centered on a Wright Ballance Monoplane, which was performing so wonderfully in the air. The plane itself attracted the attention of the spectators at the races, and after the judges had awarded the various prizes, and the Wright Ballance had scored 502 points, or 50 per cent better than the nearest competitor—better than any aeroplane represented—winning the efficiency race. I was convinced that this is the type of plane that will allow me to call your attention to a very Important Incident which occurred at the factory of the Wright Aeronautical Company at Paterson, N. J., during my visit, with the object of making negotiations for the purchase of that type of plane. Imagine the Wright Aeronautical Company, one of the largest aeronautical companies in America, producing an aeroplane that has won the acclamation of aeronautical scientists as a marvel to the aeronautical world, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to perfect this type of plane, and to be approached by a Negro aviator, requesting the purchase of that particular plane to establish a record in history for his race. Under normal circumstances $100,000 could not purchase that plane, but in this special case, first, ability; second, qualification; third, proper recommendation—and the impatient, undesired. Mr. Ballance, the designer of the plane, and a member of the Wright Aeronautical Company, was mainly responsible for the Wright Aeronautical Company's acceptance of an order to build the plane. About four years ago, at the Omaha, Nebraska, air races, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ballanca. The gentleman was very much interested in my aeronautical work, and I won his warm friendship. Mr. Ballanca told his company that "Julian is not only a competent and capable flyer, but with a plane that is half airworthy he will be able to perform wonders," and he was positive that this company would have nothing to fear so far as the best plane that they have ever made was accurate. I thought that I was very much elated to hear such a statement coming from such a gentleman as Mr. Ballanca, who is not only an aeronautical designer, but was also a flying instructor in the recent World War. Such recommendations help one to surmount impregnable barriers. After going over the entire route of the trip from New York to Monrovia, Liberia, with the Wright aeronautical engineers, showing them what I wanted the plane for and what the plane must be capable of doing. I was indeed very elated to receive a letter from the company filing the report of the engineers, and to the effect that they had decided upon applying with the type of plane that would be very appropriate for the trip. That was very satisfactory, indeed, but the important information about the thing that interested me most was the price of the plane. Why, $50,000 for that type of plane would have been cheap. All metal planes, durallim inpontoe, Wright Whirlwind Al-cooled Motor, capable of flying for three hundred hours without the need for repainting, take up about 100 hours of the carrier, that there will be no danger of breaking my hands again cranking the propeller, and other aeronautical advantages too numerous to mention, with a flying radius of over 2,000 miles at the rate of 85 to 140 miles an hour without stopping to refuel, at the entire cost of production—the small sum of $19,600 complete, delivered and ready to fly away, with the Wright aeronautical guarantee. Another important barrier surmounted. I have reference to the company that provided for the entire trip; gasoline shipped to various point en route, gasoline shipped to Monrovia, Liberia, so that I will have sufficient gas for my transatlantic flight. I have the pleasure to inform you that Mr. Joseph H. Senior, President of the West India Oil Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company, wrote me a letter stating that the Board of Directors of that company had decided, upon my request, to supply gas and oil free of cost to all of the various points as I had desired. Friends, that also too good to be true. So therefore, I have the horse, and the oats for the horse. THE OBJECT OF THIS FLIGHT.

Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown Coming to B'klyn Academy of Music Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown Coming to B'klyn Academy of Music Prominent Figure in American Life, Robeson Returns to Some of the Scenes of His Athletic Conquests in a Soul-Stirring Concert of Negro Music That Should Bring Out the Lovers of This Form of Entertainment Seldom have any artists created such a furore as did Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown when they gave their first concert of Negro Spirituals in New York this spring. Not only did the leading critics give them the highest praise, but so instantaneously did they win their audience that two more recitals to two more capacity houses were necessary before New York would be temporarily appeased until another season brought more concerts and new opportunities to hear this wonderful, soul-stirring music. The applause would not stop; the programs could have gone on forever so far as the spell-bound listeners were concerned. Negro Spiritualists have always had a deep appeal. Their melodies, their rhythms, their profound emotion have never failed to move audiences in any part of the world. They are primitive, they are fundamental. They find a response in the heart of everyone. Only shy in the musical folk culture of such a note found. But New York was stirred anew because of the great art, the fine dramatic interpretation of the men who have once more brought this truly American music to the public. Paul Robeson has been for some years a prominent figure in American life. Whatever he has done has been of public interest. Born in Princeton, N. J., he is a graduate of Rutgers College and of Columbia University Law School. During his undergraduate days he was selected by the late late Campa as his all-time favorite Football Team. Those who are interested in sport will remember Mr. Robeson's remarkable, indomitable ability on the football field. Yet when he graduated from Rutgers he had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, the great scholastic fraternity, and to the honorary society of Cap and Skull. Then in New York he attracted attention in a new field by his acting in Eugene O'Neill's plays. The Emperor Jones and his wife, Wing, Mr. Robeson went to London in the Fall of 1925 and played "The Emperor Jones" during the Eugene O'Neill season. His acting created one of the greatest sensations the London stage has known: Lawrence Brown, composer and arranger of Negro music, is also a unique personality. A native of Florida, he has appeared in concerts not only in Aeolian Hall, New York, but in other parts of the state. He has performed for four years he has lived in England, where he also attracted unanticipated attention. He has appeared before the King and Queen, Princess Victoria, Lady Astor and many other notables. He is one of the foremost Negro composers and a great student of the music of the African-American which Paul Rohsen Sings are Mr. Brown's arrangements of melodies which he has himself gathered. Even as recently as the Fall of 1925 Mr. Brown has been in the South on his search, and for the season of 1925-28 he and Mr. Roberson offer many numbers that are not widely known. There is a charm and authenticity in Mr. Brown's arrangements not found in many existing versions of spirituals and secular music. The combination of Paul Roberson and Lawrence Brown is a most happy one and the programs they offer are indeed a sensation. They will thrill and exalt as music seldom has. There is no one whom it will not arouse and satisfy in a strange, subconscious way. NOTELS AND RESTAURANTS HOTEL OLGA New York City 695 Lenox Ave., Cor. 145th Street SELECT FAMILY AND TOURIST HOTEL.

Matter for Publication for This Page Must Reach Us Not Later Than Monday Sprints From Detectives But Couldn't Make Hence Freddie Towns Was Held in Heavy Bail, Charged With Looting Jamaica Poolroom Fred Towns, 25, of 14521 South street, Jamaica, who was arrested Tuesday afternoon after a thrilling chase when he broke away from two Jamaica detectives as they wore taking him to the Jamaica police station, was held last Wednesday day under $10,000 bail by Magistrate Miller at Jamaica for an examination on February 12.

When the detectives arrived they found Towns and arrested him. As they walked him back to the police station Towns made a break and started running in every direction but toward the station house. Detective Keedoll followed him, but, Detective Morgan made a detour through alleys and across open lots to cut the fleeing man off. Keedoll fired three shots in the air to stop him, but the shots only made him run faster. Mangan and Keedoll finally caught the man and arrested him the second time. This time they handcuffed him and took him back to the station house safely. It was learned from the police that Towns had just been released from the penitentiary last April and that he has been wanted for violation of parole. He pleaded not guilty.

Music Johnson and Gordon to Give Recital A concert which should appeal to all lovers of Negro spirituals will be given at the Town Hall on Sunday afternoon, February 25, by J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Giedon. Artists of rare ability, their method of presentation is unique. Taylor Gordon is featured as solist, but behind him at the piano is the always dominating figure of Rosamond Johnson, who arranges the music, plays the accompaniments and occasionally adds his crouning module voice. The concert scheduled for February 25 is one of a series which are being given at the Town Hall by well-known artists during the winter. Rosamond Johnson has studied at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and later completed his musical training in Europe. He studied the piano with Chas- F. Dennece and Mme. Dietrich Strong; organ with George Whiting; harmony with Carl Rlessman and Davenport Kerttion, and voice with William Dunham and Clarence B. Ashenden. He made his professional debut in Boston and then became supervisor of music of the public schools of Jacksonville. Mr. Johnson toured the United States and Europe and for a time was director of music of Hammersstein's Opera House in London. Taylor Gordon was born at White Sulphur Springs, Mont. He got his first inspiration for crooning spirituals from his mother, who back in the '70s, was regarded as the greatest leader of camp meeting songs on Polindeer Farm, Lexington, Ky. Mr. Gordon came to New York in 1915 and began to study with J. Rosamond Johnson at the Music School Settlement for Colored People, where Mr. Johnson's work was being sponsored by Elbridge L. Adams, Nataly Curtis-Buril, Dain Mannes, Maul Powell David Blasphem, Walter Damrosch and many other prominent musicians and teachers. Wherever the two musicians have been heard they have been given repeated encroaches. Their interpretation of spirituals has been one of the musical sensations of the season in New York. The program announced is as follows: "Didn't My Lord Dollier Daniel" "Done Found My Losse Steven" "Oh, Wasn't Dat a Wide River" "My Lord's a Writin', All Do Time" "Keep a Inchin' Along" "Gwine Up"; "Since You Went Away" "Lit' Gal" "Run, Brudder, Possum, Run, secular songs"; "Po'Mourner Got a Home at Las" "No Hidin' Place Down Dere (arranged by Lawrence Brown)" "Stan' Still, Jordan" "I Want God's Heabn' To Be Mine" (first time in public), "Witness for My Lord." Abbie Mitchell Soloist With String Quartet BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Those who braved New York's worst storm last Wednesday evening to bear The Negro String Quartette and Miss Abbie Mitchell in the concert given at Salem M. E. Church were amply rewarded, for it was one of the most artistic efforts ever given in this city. That more and more a love for classic music is growing, was seen by the large audience that was present and gave the artists a genuine ovation. The Negro String Quartette, which is made up of four of the leading instrumentalists of the country, played with their usual superb regard for technique and unison. Their playing is marked with fine musichip and skill. Their program included numbers from Tishkowsky, Doochon, Johnson and Haydn. A most delightful number of the quartette was Johnson's arrangement of "Way Up in the Heavens," a Negro spiritual. Miss Abbie Mitchell was never in inner voice, and sang with a beauty of tone that disclosed a voice that was remarkable for its clearness. Miss Mitchell has a true cultivated voice, which she uses with rare intelligence, and which easily gives her first place among the dramatic soprans of the race. Her opening numbers were from Bach, Strauss, S. Coleridge-Taylor. She closed with a group of Negro spirituals, assisted by the quartette. Miss Mitchell was accompanied by Dr. Melville Charlton, who gave sympathetic support. Young Composer's Song Highly Praised CHICAGO.—Through the Educational Music Bureau of this city Herman Zimmerman, composer, has succeeded in securing national distribution for his march song, "America First and Forever." This is the inspiring number that has made such a bit with the school supervisors of Chicago and Evanson. It has been translated into eight languages for use in the public schools by non-English-speaking citizens. It will be particularly beneficial in public night schools, where immigrants are receiving education in the musical cultures of America. The musical cities declare that "Amorlen First and Forever" is one of the best national march songs of recent years, marking the highest musical achievement of young Zimmerman, who also composed "The Chief Corner Scene," a song of Ethiopia, "I Want to Be Ready," and a sermonette song, "Keep on Stepping Along."

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Dr. Wm. P. Hayes Compares "Children of Light and World" Dr. Wm. P. Hayes Compares "Children of Light and World" By RUTH DENNIS, Special Reporter If the churches of Harlem heeded the counsel of Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes in his masterful sermon last Sabbath morning, it is certain that many of the difficulties experienced by them could be removed. The text was taken from Luke, 16th chapter, part of the eighth verse: "For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." "All men," said Dr. Hayes, "are striving for future happiness and safety. "The children of the world have a peculiar conception of happiness and safety. To them, material gain means everything. They will sacrifice all that future prosperity may be assured. Good clothes, plenty to eat, excess of pleasure and possessions to care for them comfortably in old age, with a legacy for their progeny. This is the ideal which the children of the world strive for. The children of light believe that their future happiness and safety have a material possessions, but in faith and wORKs. No ideal could be higher than theirs. Yet they do not put the energy, enthusiasm or manifest the wisdom in attaining their goal as the children of the world. The children of the world be willing in cooperation, advertising, and going after their prospects. A business man goes to a customer; his goods may be inferior to those of the "children of light," but he is a good salesman and so convincingly does he present his case that he makes his point. Two of the largest banks in New York City recently consolidated. They were two of the richest trust companies in America, but that more might be effected for the success of their particular business they united. Wrigley advertised until the world took notice of his showing gum. "If the 'children of light' evinced as much wisdom in obtaining their object as the children of the world there would be no reason for the constant struggle which most of the churches seem to labor under. The business world is united, while the Christian world tends to division. "No, we haven't enough churches in Harlem. But we have too many house churches. Somebody wants 'to be a deacon, leader, or trustee' and if the large church doesn't give him an office, he will establish a little church where he can be seen. Selfishness is really the cause of many of these house churches." FAILURE TO REMOVE SNOW DRAWS FINES No explanation or excuses would be tolerated by Magistrate Francis McGuide Monday in the Washington Onleigh Court when ten people were arraigned for failing to remove the snores from the sleevy front of their buildings. One man who had been arraigned on a previous occasion was fined $5. While the others were given the option of paying $2 or spending two days in the workhouse. The guilty persons gave their names and addresses as P.

Leader Stirs Atlanta With Message Moves Thousands With Plea for Christian Attitudes in Race Relations ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 15—Appearing here with Sherwood Eddy, Dr. Alta Taylor, J. Stuart Wilson, and other nationally known figures in a series of meetings constituting "Religious Emphasis Week." Dr. Mordecai Johnson, of Charleston, W. Va., spoke to thousands of people in leading white and colored churches, and made a tremendous impression by his plea for the application of Christian principles to race relations. Dr. Johnson expressed the opinion that the South is in position to make a contribution of the greatest importance to the nation and to the world through the solution of its race problem. "This is no longer a southern problem," he said, "but is found throughout the nation and around the world. What we do here toward its solution, therefore, is of world-wide significance; and what now seems to us a heavy burden and responsibility may become our crown of fame and usefulness. "Jesus, during His lifetime, faced a problem very similar to our own." he continued, "living as He did among a people seething with racial antagonism and revolutionary sentiment. In this situation, Jesus held violence to be utterly futile and admonished His followers that they could win only by the use of spiritual weapons and only after they had first won themselves to Christlike attitudes. The same thing is equally true today. The race problem can be solved only by applying these baso principles, with Jesus preached and practiced: "(1) A reverence for human life, for its own sake, which will make us unwilling to harm or humiliate or hinder the development of any human being. (2) The obligation to help every human being in need, irrespective of race or class. (3) A spirit that does not harbor hate or retaliation, but returns good for evil and wins its enemies by the compelling power of love." With deep conviction Dr. Johnson maintained that only in the application of these principles is there any hope whatever for the peace and welfare of either race.

M. E. Church, Baltimore, by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer Howard University, Washington, D. C., who spoke upon the subject, "The Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln." After recalling that Frederick Douglass was born in Maryland on February 14, Dr. Scott paid tribute to both Lincoln and Douglass. Of Douglass he said: "I cannot forget that I am in Maryland, that I stand upon sacred soil, as it were, for it was Maryland that gave to our race and to our country and to eternity the name and the fame of Frederick Douglass. His memory also is being recalled tonight in song and story throughout the nation. As we celebrate Lincoln, the martyr and the Eunicepator, we also celebrate Douglass, who was his counter, his friend, his supporter, his comforter. Indisubply linked together are the memories of these great souls who hated wrong, oppression and tyranny with a common hate and a spirit uncompromising and challenging. "We can never forget Douglas, the 'Old Roman,' our Doughass—he of the loineine mane; he of dauntless courage; he of rare, convincing, forceful eloquence; he of matchless character; he, the peer of earth's noblest and best; companion of Garrison and Lovejoy, of Summer, of Stevens, of old John Brown, of Osceawatoto, of Seward and Stanton and Abraham Lincoln. Our memories tonight are full of him, the bright exemplar of the hopes, the desires, the ambitions of a race. With the Great Emancipation, too, two labours to images. The memories of the two men are so closely knit together that I have felt we must pause a moment in celebrating the life and achievements of the immortal Lincoln, also to recall the immortal Douglas." In reviewing the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Scott said: "Lincoln rose to immeasurable heights in his first interview with Frederick Douglass. Much as we shall revive his memory during the coming years as the Great Emancipator, as the Liberator of 4,600,000 human beings from the thrdalm of a heighted slavery, we shall always remember, cherish that ostatic recital by Frederick Douglass of that first conference with Lincoln at the President's own A CLASSIFIED AL Is the Key to Everybody's Pocketbook Boy Scout News request. 'He treated me as a man, exclaimed Mr. Douglas. 'He did not let me feel for a moment that there was any difference in the color of our skins. 'Oh, for a thousand Lincoln today!' Met and buffeted on every hand by prejudice, injustice, unfairness, oppression, menace, our heart cry out, sometimes almost in despair. Oh, if only our country could have a real rebirth of freedom; if only it could submerge its spirit of materialism and receive a baptism of that spirit of democracy for which Lincoln so passionately pleaded. "Liberty, fraternity, equality—these are the touchstone of a real democracy. In so far as they are denied the humblest of our land today, by just so much do we fall short of that freedom and liberty and equality for which freemen and freedmen should ever contend." "The Men's Day Movement of Baltimore takes in the City of Baltimore and nine districts of the county. Dr. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Trinity A, M. E. Church, is the president of the movement, with well-organized committees representing all the sects of Baltimore County.

I would have dizziness and couldn't work. I would take pills until I was worn-out with them. I didn't seem to get relief. "A neighbor told me of BLACK-DRAUGHT Liver Medicine and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it. It seemed to cleanse my whole system and made me feel new. I would take a few doses—get rid of the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of pep, and could do twice the work." Thoseulous attacks are "seasonal attacks with many people. Millions have taken Theodore's Black-Draught to ward off such attacks, and the good results they have reported should induce you to try it.

Years of Practice In Extracting Thousands of Teeth Enables Me I FREE CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION New York FREE EXAMINATION Present Congregational Church in Harlem Grew Out of Merger Three Years Ago, When Dr. Garner Was Called The organization of Grace Congregational Church of Harlem came about as a result of an investigation of the Congregational Society of New York City. As there was only a mission of that denomination in New York, the Congregational Society realized the need of enlarging the work of the denomination in Greater New York, and especially in Harlem. THE CHURCH OF ST. JOHN'S as the Harlem Congregational Church, of which Rev. William A. Holder was the minister. Feeling that a better and more effective work could be accomplished by uniting the two bodies, a merger was suggested. A committee from each church met and decided as to the articles of agreement upon which the merger should be made. On March 7, 1923, the Harlem Church merged and the name of the church was changed to Grace Congregational. The first service of this newly organized body was held Easter Sunday, April 1, 1923.

JACK TROTTER, Son. CARRIE TROTTER SPENCER, Daughter. The Society called to this city Rev. A. C. Garner, for the purpose of establishing a church. Rev. Garner was at that time the pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church at Washington, D. C. He pastored there for more than twenty years. Rev. Garner came, and after a careful study of conditions held a conference with a few persons of Congregational faith, at which time it was arranged to begin the holding of services. The place chosen for meetings was the Y. W. C. A., 179 West 137th street. The first meeting was attended by six persons. Some years prior to the beginning of this work there had been conducted a Congregational work known Some months later a building was secured and on August 5, 1923, the present building was bought. It is located at 308-12 West 139th street. This edifice was previously occupied by a group of Swedish people of Congregational faith. The work thus far has been a success. In addition to the church property, there is a commodious parsonage located at 250 West 139th street, where the pastor and his family reside. The church has organized all the routine auxiliaries which make up all the necessary departments. A junior church has recently been organized, which is officered entirely by the children. The church has successfully conducted a vacation Bible school. It has one parish visitor and an organization of Boy Scouts. It is the aim of Grace Congregational Church to conduct such a work as to attract, as well as demonstrate that it is truly interested in the community lift and welfare.

C., Feb. 15.—Representativo Harry M. Wurzbach, the lone Republican member of Congress from Texas, began Friday an attack on the Republican party patronage system used in the southern states, declaring that so long as it is continued the South never be won to Republicanism. Wurzbach discussed the system with the President and said the latter offered no objection to his determination to assail it in an address to the House. He told the President the South would remain Democratic until the Republican quit trading patronage for delegates to their conventions. "The Republican organizations," he said, "are working against the growth of the party. They want it to stay small in the South, so they don't have them." Democrats say the best hope of continued victory lies in the present Republican state organization system. BISHOPS VERNON AND CARTER APPOINTED Bishop W. T. Vernon, of Detroit, representing the A. M.

Mississippi County Sets Pace in Education of Negro Youths FRIAR POINT, Miss., Feb. 15—Three years ago Coahoma County, Mississippi, began and now has well under way a system of Negro education which is attracting national attention. Lying in the rich Yazoo Delta and highly developed agriculturally, Coahoma County has a very large Negro tenant population. The school census shows 14,325 colored children and 1,355 white children. Ninety-five per cent of the land is held by a hundred landowners, in plantations ranging in size from four hundred to twenty thousand acres. The relations between owners and tenants have been good, but until two years ago the provisions for Negro education were very inadequate. Funds were insufficient, the term short, salaries low, equipment almost unknown. There were no Negro school buildings at all; the colored schools were conducted in churches, lodge rooms, commissary buildings, and the like.

F. Williams County Superintendent of Education, decided that these conditions were intolerable. He, accordingly, worked out a comprehensive plan to meet the need. The county authorities accepted the plan; a special tax was laid for Negro schools; the co-opition and financial support of the lodgings were collected; the General Education Board and Julius Rossonwald gave generous aid. Immediately the Superintendent's dream began to come true. The county was divided into sixteen school districts and the plan provided that in each district there should be four primary schools teaching the first five grades and a junior agricultural high school going through the eighth grade. Each junior high school has a fourteen-room building including a Smith-finished agricultural man and a home economics teacher, a teacher's home, and an industrial building for the teaching of home economics and farm mechanics. They are well equipped for domestic, mechanical and agricultural training, having stoves, forges, and shops well furnished with tools. The cost of these junior high schools will run about $1,000 per student each house one or two teachers and cost from $1,250 to $2,000. Around every school are several acres of land for playgrounds and agricultural experiment. At the top of the system is a central agricultural high school, with a four-year course, beginning with the ninth grade. This school has been committed to a sylvanized curriculum of $5,000, the General Education Board contributed $10,000 and Mr. Rosenwald $4,200. In this plant there are thirteen buildings, including practice school, two dormitories, dining hall, industrial building, home office, barn, laundry, and two homes for teachers. Surrounding the school are forty acres of land, providing a generous campus and plots for agricultural projects. This school has a capacity of 300 and gives not only regular high school work, but also special classes for teachers, farm workers and home-makers. In addition to the high school LEG SORES ARE CUBABLE. If you suffer from Leg Bores or Varisone Ulcers, I will help you. My famous book that tells how to be rid of these troubles for all time by ment.

More than 100 teachers are employed at salaries well above the average and the schools are running against an average of five or six for the whole State. It is estimated that it will take four years to complete the building program. Compulsory smallpox vaccination has been introduced, tests are made for carriers of diphtheria, typhoid, poliomyelitis, free by the county health unit. A child welfare worker has been provided and also a county nurse. The Red Cross is assisting in the health campaign. Farm and home demonstration agents are raising the standards of agriculture and health. The Smithfield School teachers are contributing greatly to the same end. The results? Excellent in every respect. The colored people are eagerly embracing the larger opportunities afforded them. They are appreciative of them. Nor are they the sole gainers from the new order of things. It is proving equally to the interest of the white land owners, in that it makes for an efficient, steadily dependable producing system. It helps themselves, but will be an asset to the whole community. Toilet Preparations and the Tariff Due to the protective tariff policy of the Republican party, which has not permitted the wholesale dumping on the American market of toilet preparations made by the cheap expert labor in France and other European countries, the business of manufacturing this line of goods has been profitable. During the past twenty years several large businesses have by progressive women and men of our race through the manufacture and sale of cosmetics and other toilet preparations for the face and hair. The success of these business ventures has been marvelous, and the appearance has been awakened. The gate has been opened to permanent employment, in the manufacturing plants where these preparations are made, to hundreds of young colored women, while many other women in conducting beauty parlors and sales agencies for these almost indispensable articles. These manufacturing establish- ments, beauty parlors and sales agencies constitute the greatest business training schools that have yet been opened to those ambitious self-supporting colored women whose educational qualifications and social life demand a better setting than is afforded by the limitations peculiar to domestic service. The Malmeson, the University of Chicago and the Pioneer of the Strict-Tex Chemical Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., and others who have so successfully manufactured and merchandised their goods and created a national market for products made by colored workers have contributed largely to the economic progress of the females of our racial group; but it should be borne in mind that the greatest factor in the equation has been the proactive effort of the underlying principle of which is the protection of American industries and American wage earners and the permanent building up of the home market for products manufactured by citizens of the United States. Savannah Hospital in Need of Funds SAVANNAH, Ga.—Charity Hospital, of Savannah, Ga., is now beginning to campaign to raise the sum of $7,000 for a new building. The hospital is now handicapped because it lacks many modern improvements. The hospital is entirely under Negro management. It was founded in 1900 in a small fram building. The present building has 45 beds, which are used to the best possible advantage. The hospital has the six lots it occupies, the present building, and has $4,000 cash in the bank, which forms the nucleus of the building fund. All former Savannah residents who have a tender spot for the old home town have been asked to donate their property raised. Contributions should be sent to the Charity Hospital Anxiliary, 310 Harridge street. Know New York State New York leads all the other states in population, and wealth.

The report was compiled for the U. S. Treasury Department by Rutus S. Tucker, following a thorough investigation on the islands in the complex and touwell of Wright of Columbia University Law School The investigations were primarily made for the purpose of considering the currency situation and the possibility of establishing an American bank in the Virgin Island, formerly known as Bali, which was purchased by the United States from Denmark in March, 1917, for $25,000,000. Common Stock By C. E. ARMSTRONG. Common stock, or ordinary stock, sometimes called founder's or promoter's stock, because it is the security that is the last, the reconsideration, where there are more issues issued along with it. Millions of dollars have been lost by members of our race group by the buying of common stock in newly-formed enterprises, on the faith of what is told them by stock-salesmen, or by glowing descriptive advertisements, hoping to make large sums of money quickly. Common stock represents nothing but speculative equity in an enterprise. If the promoters are honest, and the idea or product a necessity, than bank interest, and over a period of years make sometimes large fortunes. Upon receiving their certificates, many persons are inclined to believe that it is worth the money they paid for it; only to discover later their mistake, when they attempt to take a share of stock sold at $100. The salesman who made the sale possibly got $10 or $15 for his effort; $3 was possibly spent in trying to interest you, and place you in the proper frame of mind before the salesman called; there was possibly $5 used in maintaining an office, and there were clerks and officers; thus you have $28 spent out of $100, and you're lucky if that is all. There is left $72 to be put into the actual operation of the business. If the enterprise is well founded on a good idea, and that idea is properly developed, the company will make money, but that there may be other concerns in the same line of endeavor and competition may be very keen. Take a typical case in point: from 1921 to 1924 the radio was a new commercial idea, and grew by leaps and bounds. There were numerous examples where large businesses had succeeded in the space of time. This led to the entrance of a large number of new concerns in the field, with over-production as the result. The big season in radio is from October to Christmas; after Christmas, 1924, radio manufacturers all over the country sold themselves with large stocks of inventories, which they had hoped to move in the Christmas trade. The result of this over-production was a demoralization of the entire industry, a slashing of prices, and a loss of revenue. Numerous concerns were forced from the field; others to save themselves consolidated with stronger concerns; but during this period there was estimated to have been a shrinkage of twenty-five million dollars in the radio shares. This loss was borne in the main by common stock-holders. There is money to be made by the purchase of common stock, by the conservative investor, for the long pull over a such sums of money as one can afford to lose in a new project, because you will be deprived of the earning capacity of the sum placed in the new venture while it is finding its place in the industry of which it is seeking to become a part. TWO ALA. WHITE MEN HELD FOR MURDER (Preston News Service.) ALBANY, Ala., Feb. 15.—J. M. West and R. E. Steward, both white, were taken into custody late Monday and placed in the county fall in connection with the death of Ashbury Murray, who was shot to death several months ago at Anistonville. While the grand jury has not made its report, arrest of the man was made at the direction of the presiding judge of the circuit court. The Amsterdam News office will be open all day Washington's Birthday, Monday, February 22, to receive advertisements. WANTED From 25,000 to 50,000 members of the Negro race to begin on entirely different new Commercial Enterprise for the upbuilding of each and every individual. The most essential duty in life is to think of the future. Our money will linger when we have departed from this life. There are thousands of race members being paid millions of dollars in salaries over it. How much do you suppose is being saved from these millions? Do you know what $2,000 or $5,000 people could save a year at the age of 13,000 or $13,000 or $26,000. How easy it is to save $2 dollars each year? Don't we spend a lot more than that in one year, and don't miss it. Therefore it is a very small amount for us to put aside. We know that our salaries are far below the average wage earner and it is very difficult to save from our small earner, so we could try to look out for the future. You may put your money in the bank and receive a few cents interest, but look how long you have to wait in order to secure a large amount of money on your account, or on your interest, while the bank makes double on your money in those years to come. That is the bankers' living. Do not stop at what our race has done in the past half century. That will take care of itself. Look at what you are doing now and will do in the future. One thousand men could not do as much as ten thousand in one day or one million could not be raised as quickly as one thousand men. Therefore by uniting our dollars together we could obtain $2,000,000 in a year's time just from 52 weeks' saving. This amount could build and buy anything for the uplift of our race. Money is good, and always will be good, but we will not have our health and strength with us at all times to earn a dollar. So why not let your dollars prove a way in order to have financial support in time of need? Don't envy. The rich man did not get rich from his own labor. He had a vision or idea to carry out. With the cooperation of hundreds or thousands of each individual support (labor), he was able to multiply his wealth. We must thus unite our efforts together to multiply our advantages in this world. The white race knows that we are not doing as much as we can do if we only tried. Do you know that we get out of life the same amount that we put in it, and, no more? Don't worry over losing a few dollars. Look and see if your soul is in time with Christ, so you won't lose that when money cannot do any good on this side of the grave. This proposition of mine is not to make any one individual rich, but to make the whole Negro race in general. After I am able to get an estimate on how many are strong for this enterprise I will be assured of the loyal support of the legal step to have a named organization executed. This appeal is to the people of my race to come out of the wilderness. As request we must give good purpose we all make a pledge to put aside one dollar as your one-tenth part of your weekly earnings to go for the upbuilding of an enterprise and to give this appeal and are willing from now on to give each week as I suggested, if only for S2 weeks, put their earnings in the post office or two months, then we would have enough to start our aim. We would not have to go to the bank for any loans or any other private ones. For every advantage that would afford opportunities for our race. Our advantages are so few, this will help to improve the conditions in the community and the worth of your standing or position in life. Honest working people, we could buy and build all kinds of enterprises in the various cities and a thousand different other projects. As you know, we are not in want for trained or skilled scholars. We can buy and build such a great task for professionals of any kind that we are in need of, but to be able to accomplish such a great task, we need support of the members of our race. I am more than sure that I can receive their support to carry out my object to improve upon it. You would like to receive money with us. It would be convexed right back to your own hands. That is what I mean by being a Negro race. Our competition would be great, as our concern will be great — out of unity and racial pride and social association, such as sticker and death, but a commercial enterprise for the good of the whole Negro race in general. We can learn the more your money is worth. Will you kindly respond concerning your interest by writing to the following address: Edgecombe avenue, Apt. 53, New York City—(Advt.) Notes on World's Children "Baby Farms." New York. Help from the newspapers of New York in suppressing baby farms and children's boarding homes is asked by the State Commissioner of Health. The Commission requests and newspaper to accept such houses unless they produce permits from the local boards of health. These are required by the State law. Child Welfare Work of the American Legion A memorial children of World War veterans is the object of the American Legion, created by the Logon at its sixth annual convention. It is the policy of the division to care for the children in their own honor or in supervised care, and to provide the facilities provided by the State or local agencies already existing. Temporary care is provided by the State or local agencies already existing. Temporary care is provided in Logon "the last." "Movies" In Education. What every boy and girl inns is confirmed by a body of expert Governing Board members of the Cinema Commission of Enquiry, established by the National Council of Public Morals of Great Britain, say that the schools should be widely used in the schools. This conclusion was the result of extended parental Child Welfare in the League of Nations. An American woman, Miss Jill Lathrop, first chief of the Children's Bureau, has been appointed to the Child welfare committee of the League of Nations. Miss Lathrop is one of three American experts on the issue, the other two being Miss Charlotte Whitton of the Canadian Council on Child Welfare and her colleague, the Fam-American Child Welfare Congress. Grace Abbot, Chief of the Children's Bureau, represents the United States in a committee in an anodized canopy. Indian Bables Given Opium. The "Times of India" gives an astonishing picture of life among the poor mothers in India. It tells that the plight among Indian mothers of depriving their babies with opium to keep them quiet while they themselves were ill is a direct effect in Bombay that the nature of securing legislation to prevent it was discussed at a recent meeting of the Bombay Mumbai Council on the issue of relief committee of the corporation was finally adopted, with a few dissentents,—which states that such legislation would be a premise of the opinion among the people concerned and would be resented as an unnecessary interference with a prevailing practice of the opportunity of caring their daily brand." The report recommended education to educate public opinion and the education of the poor to bring about better sanitation and living conditions in Bombay. The Amsterdam News of office will be open all day Wash ington's Birthday, Monday February 22, to receive ad vertisements.

Wednesday, February 17, 1926 THE ALARMING INCREASE in the number of juvenile delinquents is one of the most serious problems pressing our solution today; distributing them equally among all racial groups in country. It is in this latter assume, however true it may be, that the longer lies for the Negro. When delinquencies of our youth are put to us, we invariably lull our indifference with the thought that the spirit of the age in which we and that Negro children cannot be any better than our children. Meanwhile, a larger number of boys and girls of fifteen year old and less are having promised experiences, imbibing beauty, dropping out of school and career careers of crime or shame. IN ORDER TO SEE the fallacy in assumption that because juvenile agency is widespread we need to ourselves to the utmost to with it, we have but to consider needs as a racial group. We stand need of a virile young manhood manhood than any other racial in America. We are more sensitive; our opportunities are limited and our incomes smaller; twice the amount of work for the day; our achievements must be primarily greater to receive equal mention; oppression and discrimination us a harder blow. We stand greater need of honest, courteous leadership in all lines of human flavor. THEREFORE, our morals and morale must be placed on a properly higher plane than that of social groups if we are to survive social tests ahead of us. The young generation today is the older generation. It is an idle hope to surpass our youth of today can run the candle of life at both ends,ate its faculties, and credit quit itself on tomorrow when nature of the race will be in its haunt. Juvenile Delinquents THE ALARMING INCREASE in the number of juvenile delinquents is one of the most serious problems pressing for a solution today; distributing itself equally among all racial groups in the country. It is in this latter assumption, however true it may be, that the real danger lies for the Negro. When the delinquencies of our youth are pointed out to us, we invariably lull ourselves into indifference with the thought that it is the spirit of the age in which we live and that Negro children cannot be expected to be any better than other children. Meanwhile, a larger number of our boys and girls of fifteen years of age and less are having promiscuous sex experiences, imbibing bootleg liquor, dropping out of school and adopting careers of crime or shame. IN ORDER TO SEE the fallacy of the assumption that because juvenile delinquency is widespread we need not exert ourselves to the utmost to cope with it, we have but to consider our needs as a racial group. We stand more in need of a virile young manhood and womanhood than any other racial group in America. We are more severely criticized; our opportunities are more limited and our incomes smaller; we do twice the amount of work for the same pay; our achievements must be proportionately greater to receive equal recognition; oppression and discrimination hit us a harder blow. We stand in greater need of honest, courageous leadership in all lines of human endeavor. THEREFORE, our morals and our morale must be placed on a proportionately higher plane than that of other racial groups if we are to survive the crucial tests ahead of us. The younger generation today is the older generation tomorrow. It is an idle hope to suppose that our youth of today can run riot, burn the candle of life at both ends, dissipate its faculties, and creditably acquit itself on tomorrow when the future of the race will be in its hands. A HEROIC SLAVE WE ARE INDEBTED to Everlinson, who, writing in the York World for last Sunday wealed a Negro spy who played a important part in the capture of point during the Revolutionary W WE ARE INDEBTED to Everett T. Tomlinson, who, writing in the New York World for last Sunday week, revealed a Negro spy who played an important part in the capture of Stony Point during the Revolutionary War. SAVS Mr. Tomlinson: "MAD ANTHONY'S" daring and romantic capture of Stony Point in 1779, was made possible through shrewd service of a Negro named Pon who belonged to Capt. Lamb, and thiusiastic patriot. The Captain live a small fruit farm not far from S Point, and Pompey was his man- work. When the strawberries were the Negro was sent to dispose of wares to the red-coated garrison in fort. He was warmly received, for s "MAD ANTHONY'S" daring and romantic capture of Stony Point in July, 1779, was made possible through the shrewd service of a Negro named Pompey, who belonged to Capt. Lamb, an enthusiastic patriot. The Captain lived on a small fruit farm not far from Stony Point, and Pompey was his man-of-all-work. When the strawberries were ripe the Negro was sent to dispose of his wares to the red-coated garrison in the fort. He was warmly received, for straw- berries provided a welcome change in the diet of the army. Indeed, he was soon a favorite with the officers, who were eager not only to buy Pompey's berries, but also his cherries when they, too, were ripe. He became a daily visitor and his visits daily became extended. Not one of the redcoats had the slightest suspicion that their dusky visitor was shrewdly noting conditions in the fort, and that every night he was reporting to his master all that he had seen and heard. Capt. Lamb in turn every day passed on the information thus obtained to Gen. Wayne, who was in command of the light infantry and, since the first of July, had been in camp near the Dunderberg. When the season advanced to near mid-July, Pompey solemnly reported to the British officers that it was now "cornhoein' time," his master refused further to permit him to visit the garrison "in de day time." Confident in the guilelessness of the Negro and unwilling to lose his daily offerings, the officers urged him to continue his visits at night and gave him the countersign which enabled him to pass the guard. Pompey consented and every night was told the countersign which would provide him entrance on the following evening. In this manner, the Negro learned that the countersign on the night of the proposed attack by Wayne was to be "The Fort's Our Own." He not only reported the password to "Mad Anthony" but also offered to be his guide on that eventful night. In the morning of July 15 all the Massachusetts light infantry marched to join Wayne's forces at Sandy Beach, fourteen miles from Stony Point. The day was exceedingly warm and at noon the entire sweltering body was moving forward, climbing in single file over the rough crags and wading the muddy swamps. The hardy men did not stop until they arrived, at 8 o'clock in the evening, at a rendezvous about a mile and a half below Stony Point. There the main body waited until the leaders had returned from reconnoitring the conditions at the fort. The soldiers, then in deep silence, advanced at half past eleven (all dogs in the neighborhood had previously been killed) and Pompey, the keen-witted Negro spy, was leading the way. The countersign "The Fort's Our Own" became the watchword of the men when at last they made their wild and successful onslaught. "Mad Anthony's" name is not likely to be forgotten, but Pompey's name has not even been known by most Americans. THUS, to the list of Negro patriots who laid their offering upon the altar for American Freedom, we now add the name of Pompey, the slave. The Pullman Increase THE PULLMAN COMPANY has granted porters and maids in its employ an increase in wages amounting to between eight and ten per cent more than the old wage, which was found altogether inadequate, following a wage conference held last week in Chicago. Coming so closely on the heels of the determined effort of A. Philip Randolph to perfect the organization of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, to which the company is openly opposed, it is impossible to believe that the Brotherhood is not responsible for the increase. OF COURSE, represenatives of the Brotherhood were not admitted to the conference, but the agitation it has carried on for several months past made its indelible impression upon the delegates and the officials of the company. MAKE NO MISTAKE! The Pullman Company is no more inclined to raise wages than any other corporation, and raises are not granted except when there is a shortage of workers, or when workers have sense enough to unite and demand more pay. TWO WHITE men were sentenced to serve forty years each in the Tennessee penitentiary, after a Bradley County lury had found them guilty of murdering a colored taxicab driver. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY was observed for the first time in Texas last Friday. In suggesting that the martyred President's birth be celebrated throughout the State, Governor Miriam A. Ferguson Roosevelt and Foraker Composed Their Differences, Letters Reveal Relations Between Two Were Strained by Dismissal of Battalion of Negro Troops and the Colonel acknowledged them in a letter in which he expressed what Senator Foraker's friends may regard as an amende. The Sesquicentenn The Sesquicentennial of Independence The Sesquicentennial of Independence - Philadelphia, which celebrated a century of American independence in 1876, is now (1926) planning to celebrate the century-and-a-half. We hear a rumor, which it is not hard to believe, we are sorry to confess: namely, that the white management of the Philadelphia Exposition is doing its best to ignore or to suppress any adequate participation by the Negro-American or any honorable representation of colored Americans in this celebration of independence. In 1914 Baltimore, Md., celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Fort McHenry, and although the Negro was in the battle all right 100 years before, Baltimore left him out of the celebration. In 1814 hundreds of blacks helped to defend the fort and to drive the British back down the Chesapeake—so that 100 years after (in 1914) white people could march and brag and beat drums and blow horns while the Baltimore blacks stood on the corners and looked at the procession. There were thousands of Negroes in the war for American independence. They followed George Washington to Yorktown. A Negro named Crispus Attacks helped start the fight on Boston Commons, and Negro troops helped to end it at Yorktown. "The Quaker City" ought to be more wide-minded than Baltimore, Md. It was Baltimore that attacked the Union troops as they marched through Massachusetts, on their way to Washington, at Lincoln's call, to defend the Union in 1861. It was Baltimore that started the 20th century drive to try to segregate colored Americans in our cities. Baltimore was one of the pre-war centers of the slave-holding aristocracy. Baltimore lied, in effect, when it let white people do all the interest in bleeding and scar."

Since then the subject has been agitated from time to time, and reasonable economy (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 15.—The long obscured question of whether the late President Roosevelt and the late Senator Foraker of Ohio ever composed their celebrated quarrel seems to be definitely settled in the affirmative through private circulation of a print of correspondence between them. The quarrel broke in 1909 as a direct outcome of Senator Foraker's championship of the cause of the Negro regular troops who were summarily dismissed from the army by President Roosevelt after the affair at Brownsville, Tex. The Brownsville riot, as it was called, involved Negro troops. It assumed the proportions of a nationwide controversy when President Roosevelt dismissed a whole battalion. Senator Foraker, one of the stalwart Republican leaders of his day, was a confidant of President Roosevelt until the two men differed over the merits of the President's wholesale dismissal of the Negro throops. Senator Foraker assailed President Roosevelt's course openly in the Senate. The smoldering volcano did not come into full eruption, however, until January, 1909, when both men were guests at a Gridiron Club dinner in Washington. So far as anyone knows, it remained until 1912, when, a few months before Col. Roosevelt's nomination at the Chicago Progressive convention, he wrote Senator Foraker complimenting him on his pamphlet on the authorship of the Sherman anti-trust law and at its conclusion inviting Senator Foraker to call. The Senator, apparently wiping out old scores, wrote a friendly reply, but declined the Colonel's invitation, because he wrote: "I have fear that knowledge of such a call, if it should get to the newspapers, might be exploited in such a way as to cause embarrassment, to both of us. Some other time when circumstances are more propitious I shall in for a few minutes in memory of old times." The printed record of their correspondence shows no more until 1916 when Senator Foraker sent Col. Roosevelt his two volumes of memoirs (From the New York "Sun.")

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Personal Journalism To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: I am writing you a few lines of commendation for the virile, crusading editorial policy which your publication has been pursuing. In the light of this age of hustle and commercialism, it is refreshing to know that we have in our community a journal whose editorial policy is expressive of what was once known as "personal journalism." It was this type of journalism that made such men as Greely and Watterson great. These men towered above the average in their chosen field because they did not allow commercialism, graft or intimidation to swerve them from their duty to their constituents. Our community is particularly grateful to you for two elemental editors which appeared recently in your publication, captioned "Social Foundations" and "Financial Drives and the Caparet." These two editors were of a militant, crusading I am writing you a few lines of commendation for the virile, crusading editorial policy which your publication has been pursuing.

Our community is particularly grateful to you for two elemental editors which appeared recently in your publication, captioned "Social Foundations" and "Financial Drives and the Couraet. These two editors were of a militant, crusading nature, vibrating the whole community. Such editors are not written daily. They are inspired by the occasion. The latter one is timely in view of the recent dramatic production on Broadway known as "Lulu Belle," which depicts a slice out of Negro life. Although this production is not designed to represent Negro life as a whole, the reformers among us are decrying it on the ground that the race is represented in a very bad light. I presume when Messrs. Sheldon and McArthur, the authors of the play, were in search of material they visited the cabarets of Harlem and most likely found some of our best people there. Isn't it natural that persons not of our particular group come to the conclusion that the cabarets are our principal places of recreation and are frequented by the better element when such influential uplift organizations as the N. A. A. C. P. and Urban Longue, which stand for something in the community, don't hold their entertainments at these places?

Mr. Pickens addressed 500 students at chapel every morning during his three-day visit, conducted classes on Imperialism, biology, economics and history, delivered two evening lectures and held two round-table gatherings. the marching and horn blowing in 1914, thus pretending that Negroes had not shared the battle in 1834. Will Philadelphia now try to forward this dastardly lie by pretending that the Negro was not in the war for independence? The colored people of Pennsylvania should "get busy" and go and "see 'em" from Governor Pinchot down. Housing Conditions in Chicago Bad Many colored families, especially recent migrants from the South, are forced by inadequate supply of homes to live in dilapidated, unsanitary and overcrowded tenements, according to a survey made in Chicago by the Bureau of Social Surveys. The survey states that Negro migrants coming into districts as the latest tenants live in the oldest houses. However, overcrowding among Negroes is less than among foreign born elements in the population. "As a group," states the report, "Negroes are paying much more for shelter than other classes in the community." The investigators also found that Negroes in Chicago had entered many new kinds of employment and that: "The weight of evidence accumulated in interviews with the 100 firms consulted in connection with this study is that they will be a permanent factor in industry in this city." The report further notes that the Negro's "progress to better positions is noticeable." Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON "The Weary Blues" By LANGSTON HUGHES, with an Introduction by Cary Van Vechten. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. LANGSTON HUGHES, city breed, told a group of us the other evening that he had never cared for the poetry that as a child he read in his school books. It dealt with things of which he had no understanding. Why should he, for instance, be interested in Tennyson's when he had never seen a coot or a hern? But one day he read a poem in a Kansas newspaper that the editor was holding up to ridicule. It described the city's narrow street, the shabby house, even the garbage can. Here, he found, was poetry that appealed to him, and he began himself to try to write in such a vein. This, I think, is typical of Mr. Hughes' method. Thousands and thousands of children read Tennessee's book—"I chatter, chatter as I flow" and enjoy the sound of the words, without ever thinking whether they have seen a brook or not. But Langston Hughes never was intrigued merely by the melody of rhy Why They Leave South Carolina . WASHINGTON.—In his annual report for the scholastic year 1923-24, the Superintendent of Education of the State of South Carolina says: "To save money by sacrificing the minds of our children is poor economy—it is robbery." But, this enlightening report shows that the per capita expenditure to average attendance for the scholastic year was $65.21 for the white and only $9.21 for the Negro pupil; that the average salary paid white teachers was $88.516 as compared with $61.94 for the colored; that the average number of pupils per teacher was 21 for the white and 42 for the colored; and that the value of school houses and grounds for white children was $2,335,233 as against $2,661,290 for the colored. Under the operation of what is known as the 6-0-1 law the State pays the salaries of all public school teachers under a given schedule for the first six months, provided the district or country runs its school or schools an additional month. But, says the State Superintendent, who tearfully speaks of "poor economy" and "robbery," it is the opinion of the State Superintendent of Education that the expenditure for Negro schools under this act should remain in status quo. According to the last U. S. Census, there were 42,120 colored children from five to fifteen years of age in South Carolina who did not attend schools; and during the five-year period, 1920 to 1925, a decrease of 18,422 colored farmers were shown for the State. Due to the migration northward, there has been an acute labor situation throughout the Palmetto State—and yet, they pretend to wonder why the Negroes leave good, old Dixie and their "best friends." Know New York State If all the land in the Empire State were divided evenly there would be approximately three acres for each man, woman and child. The value of the public school buildings and land in New York State is nearly half a billion dollars, and the yearly maintenance cost is $250,000,000. The schools are attended by 1,610,000 children, and are taught by 62,400 teachers. It is estimated that in 1926 the gas and electric utilities of the State will pay taxes totaling $30,000,000. This sum is ten per cent of their estimated gross revenues, and represents almost three dollars for each inhabitant of the State. There are in the State 222 game farms, licensed by the Conservation Commission. On these farms are raised deer, pheasants, ducks, quail and partridges for the market. Each piece of game when sold must bear an identification tag issued by the Commission and sold for five cents. The Hudson River ice harvest has decreased from 4,600,000 tons in 1961 to about 250,000 tons last year. The increasing use of electrical refrigeration and manufactured ice are held responsible for the decrease. New York State in addition to hospitals and insane asylums, maintains six large charitable institutions having about 1,500 inmates words, without ever thinking whether they have seen a brook or not. But Langston Hughes never was intrigued merely by the melody of tripping syllables. Even as a little boy he must draw as clearly as he could the picture of what he really saw. "The Weary Blues" is a hook full of pictures, word pictures of some of the multitudes of things that have swept across a young man's vision. Sometimes they are of out of doors: How thin and sharp is the moon tonight! How thin and sharp and ghostly white Is the slim, curved crook of the moon tonight! Sea charm The sea's own children Do not understand. They know but that the sea is strong Like God's hand; They know but that sea wind is sweet, Like God's breath. And that the sea holds A wide, deep death. Sometimes they are of people: When Susanna Jones wears red Her face is like an ancient cameo Turned brown by the ages. But always they are pictures, not reflections upon life, but vivid bits of life itself. All of which tells us that Langston Hughes is very much a modern. "The Weary Blues," the poem from which the book takes its name, won the first prize at the Opportunity Contest in 1925. There are other "Blues" verses in which one sees an effort to strike the rhythm of these folk songs. There are cabaret songs and hurlem stands out among them with her comedy and her tragedy sombrely stalking through her mirth. In the Introduction, Carl Van Vechten tells us of the interesting life this vagabond poet has led—a true poet, who preferred to knock about on ship and in strange ports rather than stay in college! I, for one, feel a little piqued at this volume. It says so little out of all it might say. Such wonderful lands as Langston Hughes has seen and such picturesque people as he has rubbed elbows with. He only gives us titbits of all that must be pushing through his mind. We have sat down to the hors d'oeuvre and they have whetted our appetite for more. May the next course come soon!

Acknowledgement HAD I the gift to sing a song, Each day I'd chant anew: The metre would be clever, long, The strains repeated, too. I'd sing my lays in divers keys, With movements slow and fast, Composed of richest harmonies, Omitting not one beat. I'd sing of unseen realms above, Of hosts divine, supreme; Tuned in a key of perfect love And peace should intervene. I'd ring about the things of earth, Of folk I see, and know; I'd try to fill each heart with mir While here I live below. —By ALEXANDER SEYMOUR
