The Mississippi Bubble
AN AGED colored man
with a querulous expression upon his face patiently stood on an intersection of the principal thoroughfare of Jackson, Miss., waiting for a long line of automobiles to pass by.
"There, now," he mused to himself, as the last car buzzed by. "Mebbe I kin make it across."
"Itty, sonny," he called out to a little colored newsboy, "whar might all them cars be going?"
"Young, responded the boy, with a look of half disgust. 'Don't you know that the cars is coming from the capital?' The Senate passed the anti-monkey law this afternoon," he added, with vim.
"As what might that be, sonny," the voter questioned.
"Shucks, ain't you read the paper," the youth replied, thrusting a copy in the old man's trembling hand.
"Ain't got my specks, sonny; tell me to it, please," said the veteran, who, after handing the yanker a bag of choice gum dropper, settled on his cane, close to the bank building.
"Well, it's just like this," began the youth. "You must remember that Tennessee fight when Mister Colonel Bryan an' that Chicago lawyer, who don't believe that the whale swallowed Jonah, argued each other, all because the law in Tennessee says you can't teach nothin' that's against the Bible. 'N other words, all this bosh 'bout monkeys an' men bein' related, on account of Darwin, Dr. Cook and all them scientists, has got to be stepped. The Mississippi Senate just told today, by a vote of 29 to 16, that man ain't got nothin' to do with monkeys, an' anybody what disputes that will be put in jail or timed in this State from now on," concluded the boy, half earnly.
"I can't understand—I can't understand," the aged one murmured to himself, as the boy began to operate on the eighth tender gumdrop.
"Tain't nothin' hard 'bout it," pleased the boy. "There ain't goin' to be nothin' again the Bible in this State any more," he continued, titillantly.
The old man's face brightened perceptibly. "I see, now," he said, as he turned down the street. "They've done passed a law to stop burnin' an' hangin' colored people—Glory Hallelujah," he shouted, as new life seemed to grasp both his feet and his cane. "No not that," crelied the boy, as the veteran hurried on his way. "It's only that men ain't monkeys in Mississippi an'——" But the joyful veteran had passed beyond the sound of the youngster's voice.
The Watson-Parker Bill
ERE this column reaches the reading public, the Watson-Parker Bill. a measure providing for a prompt disposition of disputes between carriers and their employees, probably will have been passed by Congress. This bill, if passed, automatically abolishes the Railway Labor Board and sets up a new code of procedure and mediation machinery, presumed to make for the prompt adjustment of wage and other disputes arising between transportation lines and their workers. The bill is based, principally, upon voluntary amelioration and adjustment; but carries a strong class authority the appointment of mediation boards to hold hearings and render decisions upon the disputes presented. The bill upon its face anticipates that disputes shall involve groups of allied workers who shall present their claims in the collective style.
When it is recalled that it, the United States there are approximately 125,000 Negro rail workers who are directly engaged in handling or safeguarding the transportation of persons or property over the lines of the various steam (Continued on Page 12.)

Congressman Fish Reintroduces Bill to Commemorate Valor of Negro Troops
Points Our That Records of 369th, 371st and 372nd Infantries, Who Served With French Army Are Almost Without Equal
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1.—Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York has reintroduced his bill (H.R.9694) authorizing the erection of a monument in France to commemorate the valiant services of American Negro combat units attached to the French Army.

The cost of the monument would not exceed $30,000, which amount the bill authorizes Congress to spend. The site chosen is Sechault, France, and the work would be directed by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
The units specifically mentioned in the bill are the 869th Infantry of New York, the 371st, a drafted regiment, and the 372d, composed of separate battalions recruited in the District of Columbia, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maryland. The measure is substantially the same as introduced by Congressman Fish during the last session of Congress, which erroneously included also the 370th (Elighth Ill-

"Can't Jam Bill Down South's Throat," Says Senator Overman—To Use Filibuster Again
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1. If the Republican majority in the Senate attempts to pass the McKinley-Dyer antilynching bill at this session, "they will have a rocky road to travel," Senator Lee S. Overman, senior Democrat of North Carolina, on the Judiciary Committee, stated Wednesday.
Senator Overman has secured a postponement of the consideration of the bill in the full Judiciary committee. The bill has been favorably reported to the full committee by a sub-committee composed of Senators Cummins and Gilbert. Republicans, who voted for it, and King, Democrat, or Utah, who voted against it. Overman blocked report of the bill to the Senate in the full committee by raising the point that a full attendance was not present and insisting that the issue go over to the next meeting. The bill would turn over to the Federal courts the trial of all persons accused of "lynch law" violations and would tax the whole community in which the lynching occurred. It will be fought by southern Senators as a violation of what remains of the doctrine of "state's rights."

"With the exception of the First and Second Divisions there are not many American divisions which had a higher percentage of killed and wounded than the 369th, 371st and 372d." Mr. Fish said. The regiments were the only American regiments attached to the French army during the war. Those who hope for the passage of Congressman Fish's bill to commemorate the deeds of valor of the Negro troops mentioned by him, have been asked to write their approval to Congressman Benjamin L. Fairechild and David J. O'Connell, both of whom are members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives.

They declared that this will be embarrassing to them if an attempt is made to impose the closure rule with regard to the anti-lynching bill. "They can't impose closure," said Senator Overman. "They have not the votes to do it. "There will be no adjournment of Congress by June 1, or July 1, or August 1," vehemently asserted one southern Democrat. "If an attempt is made to jam this law down our throats. There will be no such thing as closure or adjournment. This anti-lynching bill cannot be passed."
Severs Head of Wife With Ax
(Preston News Service.)
RUSTON, La., March L.-Sheriff
A. J. Thigpen was called to the Joe
Durrell farm, three miles south of
Arcadia, where he found Clive
Jackson, 25 years old, and Mattie
Hawkins, 17, lying dead in the
house of Willie Hawkins, tenant
on the Durrell farm, Friday.
Deadly blows from an ax severed
the victims' heads from their
bodies.
Investigation by the authorities
showed that Willie Hawkins, husband of Mattie Hawkins, had found
the two in his home when he
returned unexpectedly, had broken
down the door and used the ax
with deadly effect.
Hawkins was later found in the
loft of his mother's home near the
scene of the crime.
A man named Rasherry, manager of the Durrell farm, said Hawkins was practically raised on the Durrell farm, and bears an excellent name. Hawkins was placed in jail at Ruston.
ROBBED MAN OF HIS
MONEY AND TROUSERS
Declaring that he was determined to protect the people, Magistrate August Dryer in the Washington Heights Court held two alleged hold-up men without bail for a further hearing Monday.
Charles Taylor and Edmund Phillips, their addresses unknown, were accused by George Pollapaky, white, 184 South Second street, Brooklyn, of drawing a revolver on him in front, of 235 West 143d street. He said that they robbed him of $33. In order to prevent him from pursuing them they took off his trumpets, he said.
THE NEW YORK
IMPRESSIVE RITES MARK FUNERAL OF N. THORPE
Popular Matron Leaves Behind Two Sons, Aged Thirteen Months and Two Years
St. Philip's P. E. Church was crowded Thursday afternoon by social leaders and prominent citizens to witness last rites over the remains of Mrs. Luretta N. Thorpe, the beautiful wife of Charles Thorpe, 168 West 141st street, who died last Monday morning.
The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Hutchins Bishop, rector of the church, who was assisted by the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop. She was buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery.
While her body lay in state at the church from Wednesday to Thursday, hundreds of friends and admirers sought their glimpse of the charming young matron. Others flooded the Thorpe residence with cards, letters, telegrams and floral tributes.
Besides being a member of St. Philip's, Mrs. Thorpe was a member of welfare organizations. She is survived by her husband, and two small sons, Charles Jr., two years old, and Monte, 13 months old. She was born in Sumpton, S. C. twenty-four years ago, and had made her home here for over nineteen years. About five years ago she became the bride of Mr. Thorpe.

Randolph and Owen Indicted, Says "Whip"
According to the Chicago "Whip" for February 27, true bills alleging libel and defamation of character were returned by the Cook County Grand Jury February 23, against A. Phillips Randolph and Chander Owen, co-editors and publishers of the Messenger Magazine of New York. The indictment grew out of two articles published in recent issues of the magazine, and contained startling accusations against Joseph D. Bibb of the "Whip."
Owen, according to the same report, was taken under surveillance by a deputy sheriff and later released in ball. Randolph, who at the present time is actively engaged in organizing the Pullman Porter Brotherhood, is probably out of the jurisdiction of the Illinois court.
The articles bore Owen's signature and it is to him the courts will probably look for justification for their publication. Owen wrote in one of the articles that he had conclusive proof in his possession substantiating his allegations.
"You Talk Too Much,' Magistrate Tells Woman in Case
Jealous because her common law husband invited pretty girls to their apartment, Sarah Larbordie, who did not give her address, brought Henry Prescott to the Washington Heights Court Monday morning on a summons.
In explaining her complaint the woman said that her common law husband had been having picnics in her apartment for over a week. She admitted that she had become uneasy because Prescott had something and would not tell her what it was. She said that he had hidden the article in a lodger's room and when she asked the lodger what it was, she said that Prescott then abused her.
While Prescott was in the kitchen Saturday night, the woman said that she told him that he would have to stop bringing pretty girls to the apartment. An argument followed, she said, during which he hit her in the side. The couple said that they had lived together for nearly two years.
After hearing the complaint, the court ordered Prescott to leave the apartment. The woman asked: "What about the beating he gave me?" The magistrate responded: "You talk too much!"
Two of Ten White Men Found Not Guilty
Two of the ten white men who were charged with assault on the 14-year-old girl. Ruby Edwards, were dismissed by Magistrate Glatzmayer in the West Farms Court Friday.
The released men, William Murphy, 21, 3497 Ft. Independence street, and Angelo Amantea, 21, 3127 Kmgabridge, were held in $5,000 ball on a short afidavit following the death of the girl over three weeks ago. Eight of the men were indicted by the Grand Jury last week.
Assistant District Attorney William Kier told Magistrate Glatzmayer that an investigation he and the police conducted together showed that Murphy and Amantea did not participate in the alleged assault upon the girl and he asked for their discharge. The recommendation was granted and the cases dismissed.

Disruption Sure to Follow if Major Grimly Is Made Colonel — Medical Service Said to Have Been Denied Troops Because of His Prejudices
According to reports reaching us from reliable sources, Colonel William A. Taylor, commander of the 369th Infantry of the New York National Guard, will sever his connection with the regiment some time soon and recommend Major John G. Grimly as his successor. Of all the white officers in the regiment, Major Grimly, the one to be recommended for Colonel, seems to be the man most detested by the Negro officers and enlisted men, and for this reason his elevation would bring about a more serious crisis than has ever been experienced
Atty. Baltimore Made U. S. Asst.
Appointed to Fill Vacancy Made by J. C. Thomas' Resignation
Richard L. Baltimore has been appointed by United States District Attorney Buckner of the Southern district of New York an assistant U. S. attorney. Mr. Baltimore was among the eleven attorneys appointed to the staff last week.
Attorney Baltimore will fill the post vacated by the resignation of James C. Thomas, for many years a specialist in immigration matters. Mr. Thomas, an appointee of William Hayward, was expected to take an active part in the coming habeas corpus battle over Countess Cathart. Last week's postponement, however, prevented this, as Mr. Thomas's resignation to take up private practice has gone into effect.
Layer Baltimore, who is the son of Prof. J. D. Baltimore, retired, of Howard University, was born in Washington in 1879. He attended high school in Washington and graduated from Howard University in the class of 1904. He was admitted to the bar in the District of Columbia in 1905, and to the New York State bar in 1917. He was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court in 1920.
Mr. Baltimore married a former classmate in high school, who was Miss Emily Lewis, a Washington school teacher, in 1908. They have two children, a boy and girl, both attending high school.
He is an active member of the Masonic, Elks and Pythian lodges and is also connected with several social clubs. He is active in the Republican organization of the Twenty-first Assembly District. His law office is at 135 West 135th street.

Preacher Fined for Spitting in Subway.
Archibald Barrow, 59 West 134th street, who said he was a minister, was fined $3 for spitting in the subway by Magistrate Silberman in the Washington Heights Court Friday.
Two years ago Major Grimly, most of whose service has been with the Medical Corps, was charged with refusing to send sick soldiers to the hospital at Camp Smith in Peekskill for no other reason than that the nurses in the hospital were white. He is also said to have told Major William H. Jackson, only Negro Major in the regiment, what he would do to him if he had him in the South.
It is reported that Major Grimly has been transferred out of the Medical Corps and is now being groomed for the Colonelcy, so if Colonel Taylor was assigned to the regiment to make or break it, he seems to be on the right road to the latter. Resignation of white and Negro officers and complete demoralization of the ranks would probably follow Grimly being made Colonel.
At Least This Is Opinion of Harvard Psychologist
PHILADELPHIA, March 1. Crime waves in the United States are the result of a mingling of races, resulting in the weakening of traditions which ordinarily would preserve order, in the opinion of Dr William McDougall, psychologist of Harvard University. This was his reply Saturday, at a meeting of the Philadelphia Foreign Policy Association, to the plea of Syed Hossain, of Indian birth, who urged a brotherhood of man, with America in the role of moral leader. The discussion was on "The Future Relation Between East and West." "Racial preference," not "racial prejudice," was stressed by Dr. McDougall. "America," he said, "warned by the colored problem, has cultivated the principle of racial preference and applied it to the problem of an influx of men from the Far East. If you had 10,000,000 Asiatics here, would anyone maintain, good citizens though they be, that the resulting problems would not be insoluble, with all the accompanying social inharmonies?
"Take India. They adopted caste. They were driven to it rather than lose all that was splendid and noble in their culture.
"In America you created it. No other Western civilization has a great caste system. It is an unfortunate necessity. We should so regulate our policy as to avoid 'caste or chaos.'
"As it is, the one great blot on American life is the extraordinary tide of crime. Its root cause is the enormous intermingling of traditions here. Thus they are weakened and lose the power to govern the lives of men."
While he has been nominal head of the medical corps of the regiment, all, or nearly all of the actual work has been done by Captain Leo Fitz Nearon. In other words, it appears that a man who has rendered little or no service to the regiment in his capacity and who is opposed to the promotion of Negro officers is to be made its leader. Following the resignation of Colonel Arthur Little, last April, which was the outcome of a stormy campaign against his demoralizing leadership of the regiment, Col. Taylor was assigned to the regiment from the Inspector General's office with an order to either "make" or "break" the contingent. The crusade against Col. Little grew out of his wholesale appointment and promotion of untrained and inefficient white officers over their Negro seniors. A number of cases were cited where "buck" privates were made Lieutenants after being in the regiment three weeks. Colonel Little is believed to have desired all white officers for the 1690th, for his promotions and commissions were undoubtedly headed that way.
Agitation was carried on the part of organizations to have the governor place a Negro in command of the regiment. Gov. Smith, leaving the situation up to Adjutant General C. W. Berry, did not take any action on the petitions sent to him for an entire Negro officer staff. Gen. Berry made a special trip to Chicago to inspect the famous Eighth Infantry, which has always had Negro officers, and while he found this unit efficiently handled by Negro officers, the appointment of a white colonel soon followed.
Cecil Warlock. 2465 Seventh avenue, did pay his fine of $25 and did not go to jail, as it was reported last week. He was found guilty on a charge of disorderly conduct by Magistrate McQuade in the Washington Heights Court.

[bombs to hold the crowd in check.
‘When Butler was pronounced
dead thoso outside were permitted

gling trom the scaffold. Thin old
custom of Sussex County does not
‘prevail elsewhere in the state. In

‘their shoulders &0 that they. too,
‘might see the justice meted out to

Charles Edward Russell
Protests Dinner to Col.
Clarence 0. Sherrill in
Washington
Charles Edward Russell,
member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the N.A.A.C.P.,
recently resigned from the
Chamber of Commerce in
Washington, D..C., because
of a testimonial dinner it
was planned to ive Col.
Clarence O. Sherrill, Super-
intendent ‘of Buildings and
Grounds in the National Cap-
Ital, ‘who has done his ut-
most ‘to promote ition.
‘Mr. Rusdoll had boosetantod. to
speak at the testimonial dinner,
He consulted Neval H. Thomas,
President of the’Washington-N. A.
A. C. P., together with Clyde C.
MeDuffee and Capt, Harry Atwood,
all of Dunbar High School, and
théy were able to give him’ such
particulars as to Col. Sherrill's ac.
‘Uvittes that Mr, Russell decided
to resign from the Chamber of
Commerce in protest against the
dinner to Steril. tn his letter of
resignation, Mr. Russell says in
part:
“Colonel Sherrill, by his delib-
erate courso of contemptuous in-
Justice toward the colored people
of this city, took himself out of the
eategory of public servants that
merit any applause -from their fel-
low men. Legatly, constituttonal-
ly, and from every viewpoint of
social welfare, tho colored people
are entitled to every right and
privilege accorded to the white.
Colonel Sherrill’s defiance of this
fundamental truth was so flagrant
and therefore so injurious to the
best Interests of the community
that I think the Washington Chan
‘ber of Commerce might be better
engaged than in showing him
honor.
“Lam unable to think, as I
should be glad to think, that the
Chamber {s unaware of ‘the intol-
erable insult he put upon the col
cred people at the dedication of
the Lincoln Memor(al, of the means
by which he deprived colored peo-
ple of a bathing beach while pro-
viding one for the white, of the
gratuitous affront comprised in the
insolent signs that segregated
colored people in Rock Creek Park,
of the notoriously unfair treatment
of colored people that he enforced
at the cafes in the public govern-
ment bufldings under his control.
Your action in paying him this
honor can be construed only as an
endorsement of bis course. It 18
not possible for me to retain mem-
hership in a body so oblivious to
the foundation essentials of jus-
tice and equality.
“I have therefore the honor to
present my check for membership
dues to July 1, 1926,.and my rosig-
nation herewith.”

Y.W.C.A. Notes
The exhibit of Chinese industries which the Industrial and World Fellowship Committees of the New York City Y. W. C. A. are planning promises to be well worth seeing. The purpose of this exhibition is to show in an easy but possible way the curious processes in the Chinese industries and the conditions of work in these industries for girls and women. The making of silks, embroideries, spirit money, closetnear and hair nets will be shown, and there will also be a display of foodstuffs and tea. There will be a display of silks in this branch on Friday afternoon and evening, March 26. There will be no charge for the exhibit, which will be placed in the lobby. In order, however, to raise $50, which is the yearly contribution of this branch to the industrial work of the Chinese, will be served in the afternoon and a Chinese supper on the evening of the 26th.
The committee on arrangements for the exhibit and the tea and supper are: Mrs. Eva Parks, chairs; Mrs. Lela Kellar, Mrs. Frank C. Caffey, Mrs. Irene Grey, Mrs. E. S. Michael, Mrs. E. E. Rawlings, Miss H. L. Green, Emma S. Penn, M. W. W. Williams, Miss E. Sarreals and Miss Leola Nelson.
Among the guests of the Emma Ransom House last week were Mrs. E. C. Roberts of Tuskegee, Mrs. E. C. A. Gaines of Washington and Miss Jane Posey of Boston.
The new course in the public speaking class started well on Thursday, but there is still room for a few registrants. The class is lectured by Attorney George E. Hall and includes parliamentary law.
Six girls from the Business Girls' Club of the branch attended the annual banquet of the Business Girls' League, of the Y. W. C. A. of the City of New York on Thursday evening, February 25.

HOW FOODS CAUSE DISEASE
By JOHN A. DIAZ.
Prospective and Nursing Mothers, Beware!
The diet of prospective and nursing mothers should be well regulated so that a proper amount of the mineral salts and vitamins found only in natural foods are obtained; for teeth and bones formation depends on these elements for hardness and density. The foods upon which these mothers—prospective and nursing—generally subsist are: starchy gruels, broths, farina, porridges, polished rice, bolted corn meal, tapicera pudding, white bread toast, boiled Irish potatoes, sago, macaroni, white flour biscuits, corn fakes, pan-cake flour, granulated sugar, glucose, etc.
Such foods are deprived of their mineral salts and are therefore productive of disease. Babies by the millions succumb to their effects. The human family can overcome all the disorders tangleable to these refined foods by resorting to natural foods.
The dangers and difficulties associated with child-birth, the sufferings experienced during pregnancy, and weak, sickly babies are traceable to:
(1) Eating foods that are deficient in mineral salts, vitamins and cellulose.
(2) Eating of foods too rich in proteins.
(3) Over-eating and lack of fresh air and exercise.
Over-eating during pregnancy is almost wholly responsible for morning sickness, gus, fainting, weakness, varicose veins, heart palpitation, etc. It leads to a fat baby—too large for comfortable delivery, and a weak baby; it produces too much water-aminotic fluid—and thus causes an abnormal bigness of the abdomen; it renders child-birth, which is a natural, physiological process, painful and dangerous.
Excessive eating of protein foods—meats, oggs, etc.—builds an acid condition of the body, rendering it susceptible to disease, lowering its resistance. It also creates those peculiar cravings for something

sour that are so common among expectant mothers. This excess of acid-forming foods robs the mother's tissues and fluids of mineral salts or base foods, and thus creates a desire for something else. Consumption of foods that are deficient in vitamins and mineral salts, viz., iron, calcium, phosphorus, etc., which are required by the child for building of tissue, bone and cartilage, is almost wholly responsible for rickets in children and loss of teeth in pregnant and nursing mothers.
The diet of expectant and nursing mothers should be largely of fresh fruits, green vegetables, egg yolk and fresh milk, and plenty of water. Such u diet would avoid constipation and its attendant fills, so common in pregnant women. Meats and starchy foods should be eaten very sparingly. Tea, coffee, chocolate, soda fountain drinks, denatured cereals, stimulants and so-called "tonics" should be entirely eschewed, especially during pregnancy, and at all times. Expectant mothers should get get plenty of fresh air, day and night, moderate exercise out of door, and plenty of sleep and rest and avoid worry and other mental emotions. (To be continued.)
Pomo Basket Makers
In the mountains and, valleys of Lake and Mendocino Counties in northern California live various tribes of Indians who have been allowed to remain in the region to which they were native and whose customs have been less directly influenced by the people than have the customs of other tribes in the State. The customs of these Ponies are of particular interest because of the comparative isolation in which they have developed and persisted. The Pomo began life in a basket which served also as a go-cart when hung on his mother's back.

His house was a huge thatch basket and he played with basket toys. His food bowls, platters, and drinking cups were basket shaped to suit their various functions. Seeds were ground into meal in a mortar basket, and fish and meat were cooked in large soup baskets. A conical burden basket served as a wheelbarrow or wagon when the Pomo went on journey. He had fishing baskets on his back, winnowing baskets, and long, cylindrical baskets for trapping game. Even his fences were of wicker and he applied the art of basketry to "tules" in making canoes.
Small wonder, it seems, that this art reached a high state of perfection and that it is among the Pomos today that a collector finds the choicest specimens of modern basketry, though these are grown up, and the art of the basket makers, encouraged by collectors, are still carrying on the tradition of their people.

the one taking such a stand has not seen ithe cones
or bas viewed it with a closed mind, looking for only the
objectionable features or an opportunity to condemn and
tear down what he himself cannot rebuild. Suppose it were
possible (thank Heaven it is not) for him to take all race
performers out of the “Lulu Belle” eromncden. on the
grounds that it docs not portray the refinement and culture
ef the race to suit said reformist, when he had thrown al-
most a bandred people out of employment—what could he
offer them as a means of livelihood? Would he assume their
cost of living until they could obtain such work as would
suit bis fancy? Up to date no producer has used so many
Negroes in a single production, and had Mr. Belasco not
blazed a trail we may have waited an indefinite period for
any other white man to sum up sufficient courage. Despite
the fact that Mrs. Belasco lay at death's door all during
the rehearsals, Mr. Belasco worked tirelessly and patiently,
giving to the many colored performers their first opportu-
nity to be instructed under, the personal direction of the
peer of all producers. The writer witnessed the rehearsals
and was gratified to see the painstaking and tender manner
in which he gave all that was in him to. perfect the am-
bitious colored performers, who in all their years and ex-
perience had not had such an opportunity.
I fore with pride when I witnessed the first matinee
after New York opening and gave thanks to God for
the artistic and sincere performance each person gave, which
was certainly a triumph for them as well as for Mr. Belasco.
Would that space permitted me to name each ‘one. but from
the bottom of my heart I wish them all to know how sin-
eerely I appreciate them. Their reward, I am proud to
say, as is Mr.” Belasco's reward for his great effort shown’
them, is the way “Lulu Belle” is received by the ultra-fash-
jonable white clientele and such statements from outstand-
ing critics as Alan Dale, who has written: ‘It was the col-
ored element that caused the sensation, It was the col-
ored actress that introduced the question mark. 1 don't
mow why. i there be one race with drama in its blood.
and the ability to express it, or remarkably inherent, it is!
the colored race. There are no better actors. We import
‘em and educate ’em and pretend to yearn for ’em and we
have the colored people at our doors, phenomenally fine
and conscientious artists. Belasco of course knows them.)
He took no chance, The colored actor has never yet failed.”
Is not this tribute paid the Negro by a dramatic critic irom|
Kew York’s White Way worth a vote of thanks to David
Belasco from every Negro in the world? Has he not set
@ precedent for every theatrical producer to follow and has
he not broken down the barrier that has existed all these
years, relegating our best actors to smail colored houses.
with mo chance to be seen and admired by the other races
and 0 opportunity to enjoy the salaries paid the Broad-
way artists? I plead with all who labor under false. im-
pressions — close your eyes to everything but the good
fruits that will spring up in oor garden, fom ase seed ate
sco has sown.
There are “Lulu Belles” in all races, but the white pub-
No would never condemn a white actor who played such a
yampire part. Her lesson, “the wages of sin is death,” needs
to be applied to the lives of many girls, both white and col-
cored, who are lured blindly into the byways of life, and|
doubtless many will reflect after leaving the Belasco The-
atre and come hack on the straight path, the path which
leads to permanent peace. ily Belle’s lover, George, in
one of hia lines gave beautiful philosophy: “You can't be,
happy unless you do right.” Maybe he had leit iis. wite
for her — after he was divorced was there not the God in
him clamoring for expression and urging him constantly to
marry the woman he loved and settle down in a lite
home? Every scene and every situation is true to life. and
similar cases are brought to our attention cach time we
read the daily or weekly paper. Why did it never seem 20!
distressing in real life Why not ‘agree that the scenes|
portrayed in “J.uiu Belle” niight lessen the tendency ta
actual vice outside the theatre? The cabaret scene in the|
peace Theatre is certainly’ no more degrading than the
night clubs in New York, and there is no protest or
mass meeting held to prohibit entertainers from working in
them, I hope my readers will appreciate the bright side of
this aituation and permit me to say with hearticlt thanks to
Mr, David Belasco: “He has caused the sun to shine for us
ae it never has shone before — and watch with me, dear
a the opportunity that results from this sensational
roadway hit. I prophesy in wie very near future colored
fasts working on Broadway under other white producers
at would never have had the courage had not the “Lulu
elle” success inspired them, And. many, many more ave-=
nues of employment will be opened to the colored actor,
for vyich we should thank Mr. Belasco. :

decried the scene in “Shuffle Along” which showed two of us of sun-

THAT letter is the easiest one we have had to answer tir some time.
Im the first plage. it fs impossible that we could have fallen for the
charms of “Lula Belle” und remain fallen. That first flush of any destre
we might have had for dear Lulu had worn away by the time we sat
down to give our impressions of her, and ax our Touds are as far apart
as the poles. i would be impossible to cherish dreams of one with
‘whoin we have never been brought into contact. That the writer of
the letter belongs in that class of persons who “sees without observ-
ing" Is evident, We did not recommend or ask anyone to see “Lulu
Helle.” On the contrary. For reasous which we do not feel at liherty
to disclose at this tiie, we would alsd rise and tell our own: AVAUNT,

BUT now he comes to the clussle paragraph in his letter, “We young

‘there's a mouth-filling statement we Would Ike to repeat. Think of it?

Eric Dawkins, of Stuyvesant High, Disqualified for Using Wooden Spikes in the One Hundred Senior Event ONE record broken and four upsets marked the revival of the Manual Training indoor track and field meet Saturday afternoon at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory. New Utrecht easily carried off the team honors with 37 points, with Manual far behind in second place with 30.
Eldie Everard, the bespectacled Stuyvesant High School high jumper, was the sole record smasher. Eddie cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 inches, but when the height of the bar was measured by a steel tape it was found that the height was 6 feet 1/4 inches. This betters the old mark set last year by Abel of Commercial by 14 inch.
SIX
The first of the four upsets came in the 100 yard junior, when Wally Harris of Boys' High won from Hervis Robbins, the George Washington P. S. A. L. champion, in a hard drive to the tape. Up to this meet, Robbins was never beaten at this distance. Both the 220 junior and senior furnished their upsets. In the junior event, Charley O'Connor of the De La Salle Institute beat out Steve Faucht, of New Utrecht, in the fast time of 0:25 2:5. Joe Carminit, the Manual furlong dash, furnished the upset in the senior race. In winning this event, Caminiti beat out Vincent Outley, the P. S. A. L. champion for this distance, and Gold of James Madison, who won this race last week at the Syracuse games. He took an early lead and led at the finish by two yards. His time of 0:25 2:5 is fast for a schoolboy runner.
Wildermuth Beats Dawkins.
The 100 senior also held a surprise. Karl Wildermuth of Lynbrook, who had to be satisfied with second place last week, let out full steam in the final and beat Eric Dawkins of Stuyvesant, Al Tucker of Central High School of Newark and Carlton Innis of De Witt Clinton. Dawkins was later disqualified for wearing wooden spikes, which are prohibited by the P. S. A. L. authorities. This brought up Tucker to second place. Robert Lalor of Stuyvesant to third, and Innis to fourth. The time was 06:10 2:5.

meets, returned to his specialty, the 440, Saturday, and showed Klumbach of Morris, Hagen of Stuyvesant, and Rootsky of Bushwick the proper way to run the distance. The time of 0:52 2-5 was very good considering the poor opposition given him. Jerry led all the way, finishing with plenty to spare.
Rosner Easy Winner.
Otto Rosner, of New Utrecht, won the half mile as usual. At no time of the race was there any doubt but that Otto would win. His superiority over the rest of the field is shown by the fact that he finished about 50 feet ahead of his nearest rival, Walter Gassner, of Flushing. Fred Dulaff, of Erasmus Hall, finished third, and Eddie Dendy, of St. Benedicts, who expected to give Rosner a close race, captured fourth place. Deady was foolish enough to tire himself in the first quarter, which was run in 0:58 flat
Gus Moore, Boys' High's colored wonder, again won the mile in the good time of 4:40 1-5. James Kennedy of St. Benedicts followed Moore closely and finished but 15 feet behind the champion. This is the first time this year that any scholastic runner has finished less than 50 feet behind the colored dash.
Superiors Repeat Victory Over Vandals at Labor Lyceum
---
Brookiynites Primed for Contest With 369th Infantry When They Meet on Night of March 18
The many dyed-in-the-wool fans who defied the torrential downpour Thursday evening to witness the Superior-Vandal clash left the Lyceum fully convinced that the "Lightning Five" are the rightful claimants of the Eastern amateur championship; and more than a few voiced the opinion that a claim for national honors would not be too hold an assertion for the Brooklynites to make. However, while we are very much in accord with said theories we will not, at present, blaze them across these humble pages until the "Soups" themselves formally lay claim to the much disputed standard.
The Brooklyn quintet displayed enough basketball in the first half to impress the most skeptical as to their first class rating, completely baffling the resort athletes, who had humbled the Philadelphia Panthers the preceding Friday. The "Soups" took the lead after a few seconds of play and registering basket after basket closed the session with a 10-point lead. Score, 21-11.
The game was somewhat rough in the second half, the Vandals attempting to bring their weight into play while the "Soups" retaliated with some unconventional playing. Both centers were banished from the game for exhibiting their pugilistic wares, Thompson taking Bartlett's place for Superior and Ringold replacing Lee for Vandal. At this stage the Vandals, convinced of the impossibility of puncturing the Brooklyn defense, began long-distance tossing with enough success to place them within two points of tying the count. The "Lightning Five," however, were still masters of the situation and answered the Vandal threat by industrious work, adding two more points and freezing the ball until the final whistle. Herndon and Stevens showed well for Superlors. Alboy and Howard excelled for the Vandals. Final score, Superior 30, Vandals 26.
On March 16 the 360th Infantry Hell-Fighters will oppose the Brooklynites in the borough.

Hampton Plans for Fifth Annual Track Meet
HAMPTON, Va.—Plans are being perfected at Hampton for the fifth annual track and field meet which will be held on Armstrong Field, Saturday, May 15, 1926. The meet is sanctioned by the C. I. A. A. and bids fair to be the largest one yet held on Armstrong Field. The interest in track and field sport is rapidly growing in both high schools and colleges for Negro youth. Last year nearly 150 athletes took part representing colleges and high schools along the Atlantic Seaboard. Already several schools which did not enter men last season have signified their intention of sending representatives this year. Some schools as far south as Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina have been heard from.
Special events this year will include the Chicago Defender Special 440-yard run; the Madame C. J. Walker trophy for the inter-collegiate mile relay; and two events—the Medley Relay consisting of 440, 220, 880 and mile; and a two-mile relay, each man running a half-mile.
The intercollegiate events will be as follows: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 860-yard dash, mile run, two-mile run, 120-yard high hurdles, 220-yard low hurdles, and mile relay; shot put, javelin throw, broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. The interscholastic events include 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 880-yard dash, 120-yard low hurdles, broad jump, high jump, pole vault, mile relay and the special mile relay for the high schools at Tidewater, Virginia.

Buccaneers Defeat Baltimore Athenians
Atlantic City, N. J.—With a better system of play than has been shown this season, the resort Bucancers sent the Athenians of Baltimore down to defeat at Waltz Dream Friday night. 32-24.
While Raymond Green held the brilliant Goggles Polles to one basket, the Bucs' forwarres ran the Athenian guards a merry pace, and
Pendleton, at center, outplayed Red Kellar. But for the brilliant long distant shooting of Brown and the aggressive play of Baskerrille in the second half the game would have been a rout. The defensive play of Pickles Howard, Chink Miller and Knox kept the home fans in a frenzy. The Bucs led at half time, 16-11.

Renaissance Five Continue Victories on Their Home Court Sunday Night
Renaissance Five Continue Victories on Their Home Court Sunday Night
Big Turnout of Fans Proved That Colored Champions Lost Nothing When Defeated by Celtic Team
IT WOULD have been evident to the least casual observer last Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino that the famous Renaissance Five continue their hold upon the fancy of their people, for it was another bumper house that turned out to witness
the contest between the local team against the Ansonia Five.
And it would not be far-fetched for us to predict that another big gathering of fans will be the result this coming Sunday night when the Renaissance line up against the Yonkers Big Five. Our people know where the best in entertainment can be found, for with a good basketball game and the best dance music in town, it is easy to understand why they pack the casino every Sunday night.
Vernon Andrade, leading one of the best aggregations of musicians, has come into great prominence which must be deserving, for without any attempt at the publicity utilized by others in his field his worth as a musician and leader has gone far beyond the Renaisance Casino and even such a well known leader and entertainer as Fletcher Henderson has joined in heaping praise upon Andrade.
Brooklyn, too, has gone wild over Andrade's dance music, and the Superior Club of Brooklyn will have none other. These features naturally add to the pleasant surroundings maintained when the Renalissance Five are in action. This week the boys did not have the opposition they expected from the Ansonias, and they took things easy winning by a 34-26 score. The game became a little rough in spots and Messrs.

had to retire for a while although they continued to make it hard for the visitors with their efficient playing. Verily, it is indeed a big tribute to the Douglas men that they can continue throughout an entire season not only to pile up consecutive victories on the home court, but that they can keep their following even if they saw fit to carry their games into the warmer months.
Twenty-First Annual Reception of Laney League
The twenty-first annual reception of the Lucy Laney League will be held at the Renaissance Casino on the evening of March 19. This affair, as usual, will be for charity, the funds going to the Haines Normal and Industrial School of Augusta, Ga.
For years the Lucy Laney League has succeeded in drawing fine gatherings to their various affairs, and the coming March event will be one of the best they have ever arranged for their many friends and the general public.
Music will be furnished by Fred R. Pedro and his orchestra and we feel that we can take it upon ourselves to say, that a most pleasant evening will be the reward of those attending this twenty-first effort of the league in carrying on its work for the benefit of others.
Biggest Indoor Crowd Witnesses Defeat of Greb by Tiger Flowers
Walk Miller's New Middleweight Champion of the World at Last Annexes the Crown He Started Out After When He First Appeared at the Commonwealth
THEODORE TIGER FLOWERS, the Georgia Deacon, is now middleweight champion of the world and its suburbs. The Tigerman of Brunswick, Ga., came into the title by outslapping Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, who was the 100-pound king until Joe Humphreys announced the result of the official ballot at the end of the fifteenth round in Madison Square Garden last Friday night. There were some of the 18,000 and odd present who thought Hurricane Harry should have been treated more kindly, given a draw at least for his effort. And there were a few who believed he was entitled to the verdict. But they were "all wet" and "out of the picture."
Harry himself seemed rather downcast as he left the ring and Red Mason, his manager, was downright dejected, but both accepted the official findings without much comment. As we scored the battle the Deacon won. Greb was not so far behind, but the margin was wide enough to preclude any questioning of the decision. Harry had his moments, of course, but they were few and far between. At least they didn't arrive with any degree of frequency that would have affected the result.

And then again, white hairy turned in was more than off-set by his rough and unfair tactics set by his adversary and any advantage he carried fairly. Only in the matter illegal scrapping was Harry anywhere near the old tree of the Johnny Wilson, Ted Moore and Mickey Walker boutus. He thumbed the Deacon's eye, held him with oog hand and hit with the other, pushed, pulled, butted and did about everything else but bite.
In this he was the Greb of bygone days. But it was apparent almost from the first round that Hurricane Harry, the Pittsburgh Windwolf, the White Light Whirlwind, and all the rest of it, had left all his stamina and strength and ability in the pretentious filling stations that are called supper clubs because they serve dishes with drinks.
His judgment of distance, his sense of timing and his rapid-fire punching were not in evidence against the Tiger. And as for speed, that was something Harry was without all the way. Only his experience and boxing instinct carried him through to the finish. That and the Tiger's lack of a knockout punch.
In spots he was hopelessly out
outclassed, and at times bewildered
by the Deacon's antics. Time and
again, especially in the closing
rounds, the Deacon slapped him
about without drawing a return.

the first round it looked like an early knockout with the Tiger in the hero role. He pounced on Harry while the opening gong's echo was still in the air, spraying him with gloves. Harry hugged him, but the Deacon was not to be denied. He rushed in, swing wildly probably working on the theory that if he started enough punches some of them would find the target.
They were mixing in the center when Harry started his headwork, which resulted in a slight cut over the Tiger's eye. And again in the second Harry used his head for something else besides the purpose of thought. This time, however, Harry came out second best, suffering a long gash down the side of his nose.
Flowers took the third and Greb came back to win the fourth, his best round of the battle. For a moment in this session the Tiger was wooxy. Harry ripped up hard right hand uppercuts and a few of them reached the Deacon's chin. At this point it appeared as though Greb was going to come into his own, and perhaps by a knockout. He went on to annex the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds by close margins, seemingly fighting his way back into form.
But condition told coming into the eighth. The Tiger had been cuffing Greb's right side from a point almost under the armpit to the top of his hip with a hard left hand swipe. This blow began to make itself felt in the eighth and from that point on Greb slumped.
Greb couldn't take it. What little he had left was beaten out of him by this punch. He came back to get an even break in the eleventh when the Tiger was "coasting" along, fueling up for a whirlwind finish, but he was far behind in the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.
And he would have been much further back if Referee Gunner Smith had held him to the rules. The Gunner was the best man Greb could have drawn. He let Harry get away with "murder in the first" as they say along the curb.
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1926
As Seen by Ed. Sullivan in the New York Graphic
THOSE who argue against a mixed heavyweight championship bout between Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey, on the grounds that such a fight would stir up bitter racial feeling, should have attended the Renafuco-Original Celtics basketball game at an upown armory the other day.
That game provided an eloquent lesson on the fine sportsmanship of colored fans
of cored tank:
The Renaissance Five, a colored team, had been heavily backed to beat the white champions.
Despite the heavy betting, the colored spectators—and there were close to 8,000 of them—took the defeat gracefully. Every good play of the Celtics was applauded to the echo. Every ruling of the white referee was received calmly.
Those who tell you that the colored sporting fan is not a 100 per cent stranger are not basing their arguments on fact.
Basketball, even more so than fighting, is a game which features bodily contact. It is a game which is calculated to arouse bitterly partisan feeling because of this bodily contact feature. However, Harlem took the game and its result in fine fashion.
Race Bitterness Dead.
THE Renaissance defeat, and the way in which the colored fans accepted the humbling of their hopes, simply testifies to the manner in which the Negro has developed along with the rest of this amazing
Ten years ago, or fifteen years ago, a game between a white basketball team and a colored basketball team might have been productive of a riot.
Those days have passed.
Those days have passed.
The colored sportsperson is just as broad-minded and just as free from the white jacket, if not more so.
from prejudice as your white hat. I hate these for those Harlem persons who jammed the Fifteenth Regiment Armory at 143d street and Lenox avenue last Tuesday night.
The Sportive Spotlight
HARRY GREB must have been a most miserable creature after the title of world's middleweight champion had been taken from him and placed on the dome of Deacon Theodore Flowers.
His resort to foul fighting to retain his crown brought down upon his head the denunciation of his own people, and we doubt seriously that it is consolation to him to know that he lost under circumstances which showed him up in his worst light.
GREB has enjoyed a questionable reputation for being a foul fighter, but when the end came it proved that in the final analysis a New York fight crowd expects more than foul fighting in the retention of championship, and to the venerable deacon went the unstinted apace of white men and white women making up that great multitude who so lavishly threw more than a hundred thousand dollars into the coffers of Mr. Rickard to witness the contest.
HAD Harry Greb been a clean fighter and one worthy of the praise they shower upon a clean liver, he would have taken into force retirement the acclaim of a proud people, but to see them turn from him in his hour of defeat is like bitter gall. But this is the exacting price one must pay when they refuse to fight fair, be it in the prize ring or in every day life.
AND of all the referees in the world the New York State Athletic Commission had to pick Gunbout Smith to act as the third man in the ring. Ye Gods and a gang of little fishes, it was old Lady Luck who waved her hand over that ring last Friday night and prevented those unpleasant things which can happen when a referee not up in the art of his trade can bring about. As it is, the Gunner allowed Greb to do everything to Flowers he should not do. At one time we thought Greb was trying his derudest to bite the Tiger, and if he had it would have been "alice samee" to the former United States Navy gunboat. Not a shot would he have fired across the bows of the armored cruiser of the enemy being scuttled by Flowers.
TO add insult to injury, we understand that Smith VOTED AGAINST FLOWERS at the end of the fight. If for nothing else than the manner in which he defended his title, Greb ought to have lost, and to have a referee casting a ballot in his favor will prove conclusively to the colored fans present at the contest that this same Gunbout Smith would have taken from Flowers every vestige of right were it left to him to the final判决 in the trial of the Fury Gallagher. Haley ground, it is hard to understand how the Boxing Commission could send a man into the ring to referee such an important bout when that same man hasn't as yet reached that stage where he enjoys the confidence of any appreciable number of fans. Talk of your ways of the heaten Chinese! Huh, that commission beats everything.
DO we get the recognition, us newspaper follows, which we expect at Madison Square Garden when an important mixed card is on tap? Let us see. The first big mixed bout that took place at the Garden after Jess McMahon went in as matchmaker brought us the bit of pasteboard calling for our entrance to the Garden without any fuss. Last week this same McMahon wired W. Rollo Wilson, sport columnist of Pittsburgh quarterback, to a game with Pittsburgh quarterback Philadelphia, asking for information about the reservation of a seat for him at the Flowers-Greb tight. Rollo wired back telling McMahon to hold the seat and when he arrived in the big town he had no trouble securing entrance to the Garden. Now, what we are aiming at is this: One of the brethren comes to us all out of breath with the information that upon him reacts the honor and glory of inducing genial Jess to send the sundown brothers passes to the big town. Then the gentleman took it upon himself to represent us AFTER we had been already represented. Oh the folbles and follies of some of us!
SPEAKING of W. Rollo reminds us that we had the pleasure of lassosing the Pennsylvania on Friday night, and did not give him a chance to escape. Time after time he has slipped into our town, and, to show how elusive he can be, he would case into the office of this paper, leave his card announcing that he was "somewhere" in Gotham, and even with the assistance of detectives we have failed to locate him. This trip we were successful, and together we viewed the big doings down at the Garden when Theodore took the crown from Harry. Rollo, as you should know by this time, is the leading sport columnist and the author of the book he wrote, his rightful place for the badge of color. He has everything that would make him one of America's greatest if the O'Fays gave him the opportunity. He is also blessed with that thing called personality and that other thing which our friends the French call "presawrence." Hey, hey, Rollo! We await thy return this summer with rare joy.
N the absence of His Honor the Barber of 772 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., the Superiorors of that same city known far and near forgive the number of its holy places of worship took the Vandals of Atlantic City last Thursday night and, without attempting to speak figuratively about it, mopped up Labor Lyceum. Quentin Vaughan, a man of peace but one who carried his musket without a murmur in the great World War, admitted to the writer that it was one of the most hectic encounters he has seen for a long time. Few admire those young men making up the basketball team of the Superior Athletic and Social Club of Brooklyn more than we do, but we are forced to tell them they gave Atlantic City what Sherman said war is. The Vandals are a reugn of the home team were also "out of the picture" with their sportsmen like rooting. In the best of friendship and for their own personal benefit, in the event they are entertaining hopes of reaching the top in basketball, we want to tell the Brooklynites that we have seen them all in the past, and the "rough guys" never did get anywhere. Flail, Jenkins, Scocum and the rest of that band continue in the game because they have always PLAYED basketball.
THEY tell me that the boys of the Renaissance Five felt mighty bad after losing to Celtics on the 22nd. For why, fellows? You have played a splendid brand of basketball all season and in various towns and cities away from the home court you have furnished fine entertainment and thrills for thousands. On two occasions you did that which some of the best basketball teams in the country failed to do by defeatment, and you were given a genius manliness. I cannot see where you need feel bad about it. You will forever man you the strides you have made in the game and that defeat should be but an incident making your desire stronger to go after the Fury men in the future. All winter you have appeared before large gatherings at the home court and with the assistance of our good friend, Veronica Andrade you have appeared for thousands that can appreciate your strength and your determination. You have been depriving because you did your best and lost. It is quite a tribute to you that so many people came at your call to see you in action against
the world's best. When almost ten thousand fans will go far on a cold night to see you in a game there's no reason in this world to prevent you sticking out your chests even though you lost. All hours of your day is good work and we'll all come out in large numbers to see you again.

Eastern Colored League Commissioners Hold Meeting
Schedule Committee Picked, but Must Defer Work to Take Care of Harrisburg Dates
AFTER the postponement of a week the Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League met at the Christian Street Y.M.C.A in Philadelphia and "here" was answered by a representative to the roll call of each club. The Bacharach Giants were represented by Charlie Johnson, the Cubans by Alexandro Pompez, Baltimore Black Sox by Charlie Speeden, the Brooklyn Royals by Nat. Strong, the Lincoln's by Jim Keenan. Colonel Strothers was present to take care of the Harrisburg Giants. Ed. Bolden looked after the Hilldale interest and Wilbur Crelin represented the newly admitted Newark Stars.
Due to the fact that Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Giants and the club representing Harrisburg in the New York-Peunslvania League will both use same park, the Colonel was not in position to submit dates for his Giants to play at home, nor will he be till after March 8, which is the date set for
LENOX AVENUE --- 140th to 141st STREET
the New York-Pennsylvania schedule to be released. In order to get the Harrisburg dates, the schedule committee that was appointed will hold a meeting in Philadelphia March 12 to draft a tentative schedule.
Although he possibly doesn't know what it's all about Pedro San, who is classed as a Cuban ball player, but really halts from San Domingo, has started something in the Eastern circuit. San, who is a pitcher, was lined up by Alex Perezmex last Spring to make the trip to the "States" with the Cuban Stars, but the immigration authorities at San Juan, Porto Rico, from whence he sought passage threw a wrench into the works by the one-year resident rule.
San has hung around the seaport town since last Spring and is now eligible to leave the islands, but aside from Pompey's claim of priority to the services of Pedro, the newly formed Newark team is claiming they have landed San. However, the matter had to be tabled until the next meeting because Pompey exhibited a letter from San that was penned in Spanish and there wasn't an interpreter in sight.
While the personnel of the Newark stars still remains a mystery and owner Crellin elects to play them close against his chest till he is forced to showdown, he has already shown a hankering for the foreign element. Aside from the San case Crellin let it out that he has signed Jaco Nestor, a Porto Rican, who is rated as the class of the Island in the rank of outfielders.
Nary a trade was smoked up during the session. Charlie Spedden advised that he had landed a promising rookie for the shortstop berth in Clarence Jagers of Youngstown, Ohio. Jagers had a brief trial with the Black Sox in 1924, since then he returned to Youngstown and played great ball on the local nine that has earned him a second chance in Baltimore. Ed. Bolden has signed Charlie Henry, the right hand pitcher, who for the past three seasons has played with the Harrisburg Giants. Henry, however, got his start in fast company with the Hilldale team in 1922.
Black Bill Meeting Bobby Green at Commonwealth
Jack Bernstein and Bobby Burns Also on Same Card — Carl Carter Wins Decision Over Jack Herman.
Black Bill will play a return date at the Commonwealth Sport Club the coming Saturday night, when he meets Bobby Green in one of the feature bouts of the evening. Bill, two weeks ago, gave little Eddie Zeigler something to think about in ten rounds and now Green is coming in an attempt to put a stop to the winning streak of the fast little Cuban.
The star event of the evening will bring together Jack Bernstein and Bobby Burns in what should turn out to be a most hectic encounter. That tough preliminary youngster, Billy Wiley, will cross bats with one John Fyman and unless John is right we advise him that he is in for a hard evening.
Last Saturday night Carl Carter, the Cuban heavyweight, who came into such prominence last week when he knocked out Bud Gorman, the Wisconsin battler, in the first round, didn't prove to be such a ring marvel in the final 12 round when he just outpointed Italian Jack Herman of Yonkers in a slow and uninteresting fight.
Carter staggered Herman in the first round with a similar right that stopped Gorman last week, but Herman weathered the storm, and from that point up to the tenth round there was nothing to talk about.
In the tenth Herman landed a hard right on Carter's face that forced the claret from the Cuban's mouth and nose. This and the first round were the only interesting ones of the entire fight.

Billiard Notes
By OLD IVORY.
It is the unanimous opinion of the members of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players Association that Walter Grey, brother of Joe, shall be the official toastmaster at the club's 14th annual banquet in May. He is one of the best dinner officials among billiardists.
Clarence Jones has at last thought up a new proposition as an attraction for his competitors. Can't tell what it is, ask Billie Elmore, or better still, let Jones introduce it to you.
Charlie Wilson and Washington are still battling at the Emporium. "Wash" says he is the best and yet Charlie keeps winning. All right, "Wash," time will tell.
The Double News Service of all sporting events at the Emporium was much in favor on the night of the World's Middleweight Championship fight. The patrons and spectators who were comfortably seated in the balconies said it with "Flowers" first and last. Minor's announcing was very good.
Manager Willis went to the Armory with a half a century to put on the Renaissance 6, but after seeing the Celtics warm up, he used his noodle and saved his bucks.

Miscreant Flees With $700 While Another Man Is Held for Sullivan Law Violation
Charged with burglary and violation of the Sullivan law, a man identified as Moe Harris, 34, of No. Saie Kah Avenue, Brooklyn, was arrested last Thursday night in the top floor hall of No. 310 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, by three detectives of the Grand Avenue Station. He was also indirectly responsible for the arrest of Joseph St. John, the colored superintendent of the building, on charges of assault and violation of the Sullivan law.
The trouble started when police of Grand Avenue Station was notified a burglar was at work on the top floor apartment of Mrs. William Van Pelt, at No. 375 Lincoln place. Detectives Bonano, Asip and England hurried over in a police car, but found the intruder had down with jewels valued at $700.
The detectives were searching the neighborhood when St. John appeared and said a man was jimmying the door of an apartment on the top floor of No. 315 Lincoln Place. The detectives said they found Harris prying open a door and arrested him. Search revealed an automatic pistol, a large Jimmy and Mrs. Van Pelt's jewels, police alleged. After the arrest of Harris, St. John was greeted in his basement apartment at No. 315 by Franklin Hayes, 25, a friend. The latter inquired how St. John would have treated the burglar if he had caught him. "Here's the way I'd gone up to him" said St. John, aiming a pistol. When Hayes attempted to prove the weapon could be wrested away, the pistol was discharged and the

Brooklyn Chauffeurs at Arcadia Hall, March 11
There are certain affairs for which the staid people of Brooklyn look eagerly forward to each year. One of them is the annual mid-winter reception which the Colored Professional Chauffeurs of Brooklyn give every year during the month of March. Hence, the announcement made last week that the always-popular Brooklyn chauffeurs were ready for their annual reception, to be held this year in Arcadia Hall on Thursday night, March 11, was received with considerable interest and pleasure by Brooklynites.
The affair this year will be in the nature of a novelty one, and pleasing novelties will be given to all. To insure good dance music, the chauffeurs have secured the Min-Ton-Us saxaphone band, and with 20 selected musicians, the crowd that night is certain to enjoy excellent dance music.
Warner Crowned With Bottle by Irate Woman
Richard Warner, Federal agent, was impressing Mrs. Anna Gatti at 2068 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, with the fact that he had a Federal warrant entitling him to a search of the premises when a blow on the head from behind temporarily stunned him. Turning, he alleged, he saw a pretty young girl holding a bottle and looking angry. A charge of assault was made by Warner against Miss Lena Gatti, 16, who said she was Mrs. Gatti's daughter. The two women were locked up at the Liberty avenue station. A charge of violating the Volstead act was made against the mother.
Sergeant Held for Grand Jury in Queens
Facing a charge of striking a Jamaica policeman over the head with a piece of galvanized iron pipe, C. Sergeant, C. of Catherine and Church streets, Jamaica, is awaiting the action of the Queens Grand Jury under $1,000 bail after wading examination before Magistrate James J. Conway at the Jamaica Magistrate's Court last Sunday.
Patrolman John Murphy of the Jamaica precinct charges Sergeant struck him with an iron pipe when he went to arrest him after an auto accident. He alleged that on last Thursday Sergeant was driving a small commercial automobile at Ginsberg place and Rockaway boulevard, when he struck an iron sign post at the corner. Patrolman Murphy went over to Sergeant and asked him for his license. He stated that Sergeant said to him:
"What will you do if I don't show it to you?"
"You'll have to come with me to the station house, then," Murphy replied.
Whereupon he charges the Negro selzed a piece of galvanized from pipe and struck him over the head with it. The policeman then grappled with him and finally succeeded in bringing him to the Jamaica police station. Here both were treated by Dr. Sealy, of the Jamaica Hospital, and then Sergeant was held on a charge of felonious assault.
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1926

Colored Men Brave Blaze to Rescue Horses in Disastrous Fire
Some Blooded Horses Die but Many Others Saved by Heroic Work of Stable Hands
TEN racing horses were burned to death in a three alarm fire which destroyed stables 11 and 12 at the Aqueduct Race Track, 110th street and Rockaway boulevard, early last week.
The fire had its origin in stable 11 and was discovered by Louis Francis, superintendent of the grounds, as he was making his rounds. Ten horses owned by C. K. Moore were quartered in the building. The stable was enveloped in flames when the fire was discovered and it was thought useless to attempt to save the horses. Francis turned in a city fire alarm and then ran to stable 12, where eight horses owned by A. L. (Tony) Aste, owner of the Ascot Stables, were quartered. The eight horses were led out before the fire spread to stable 12.
The first fire apparatus arrived at the fire at 7:40 and 12 minutes later second and third alarms were sent in which brought additional apparatus from the Rockaways and Brooklyn. The fire companies were delayed in arriving at the scene of the fire due to the poor condition of the roads and the heavy holiday traffic. The fire was confined to stables 11 and 12, although stables 13 and 14 were threatened. The horses from stables 13 and 14 were taken to other stables or were turned loose in the field as a last resort in spite of the danger from pneumonia which such exposure entailed
Willis Winkfield, James Russell, and Alonzo (campbell in the employ of Mr. Moore were all asleep in a building adjoining stable 11. They were asleep when the fire broke out and were not awakened until stable 12 caught fire. They assisted in the work of rescuing the other horses after it was evident that it was useless to attempt to save any of the animals which they had under their care. Each of the burned barns was a one story frame structure about 125 feet square. They burned rapidly and sent up numberless sparks which cast a red glow over the entire racing field. Firemen fought the flames for two hours and succeeded in confining the fire to the two stables in which the fire started. The origin of the fire is not known.
Five of the horses that died in the fire last week were two-year-olds, and had not been named. The others were Sarsarquilla, Alchemy, Sweepy, Daisy and Pettifooger. Within a quarter of a mile of the barns that were burned horses valued at probably $2,000,000 were quartered, including valuable racers trained by James Fitzsimmons and other noted horse trainers. Perhaps the most valuable horse at Aqueduct this winter is Aga Kaha, trained by Fitzsimmons, which won the Lawrence Reallization in 1821. Charles Stoncham and William Woodward are among the owners who have horses at the track this winter.
He Loves the Kids When Happy, Says "Joe"
Joseph Summerville, who gave his address as Edgermere is today in the Queens Jail after failing to pay a fine of $10 in the lamaica Magistrate's Court, where he appeared before Magistrate Lawrence T. Gresser Thursday.
Summerville was charged with intoxication. When arrested a bottle was found on his Jason half full of an amber colored liquid. He leaked that he was drunk.
"What is your name?" asked the court.
"Well, it's John, but I go by Joseph. Just call me Joe," he said.
"The patrolman charges that you were annoying children while you were drunk." Magistrate Gresser continued.
"No, your honor. I love children and wouldn't harm them for the world. You can ask any of the people who know me if I ever burned any children." Joe re-

Charged With Wielding Shovel Against Employer
Gabriel Phillips of 12 Samson street, Jamaica, who at times is a furnace man and at others a minister and deacon in a mission, was fined $25, with the alternative of five days in jail, by Magistrate Conway at the Jamaica Court on Friday. Phillips was first charged with felonious assault. Magistrate Conway, after hearing part of the testimony, lowered the charge to simple assault and finally reduced it to disorderly conduct. Jacob Peck of 9002 180th street, Hollis, landlord, charged that Phillips hit him with a shovel after he had "dired" him in protest against his failure to supply heat. Phillips denied that he had struck at Peck. He said that Peck had become enraged at him and took the coal shovel and attempted to strike him with it. He said in warding off the blow the shovel bounded back and struck Peck on the head.
Nelson Brooks, a preacher, testified that Phillips did not drink, smoke or use vile language, as it was against their religion to do such things. He said that Phillips was of calm temperament and did not become angry quick. In timing Phillips, Magistrate Conway said: "There is no doubt that some sort of assault was committed in this case, but as the man has such sterling character as has been testified and is so religious I will fine him $25 on the disorderly charge. They must be a very honorable group of people to abstain from drinking, using vile language and even smoking."

Rogers Writes Further of His Talk With Advocates of Anglo-Saxon Clubs
"I'M GLAD you did not, find us the ogres we're said to be," said John Powell, founder of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, in parting after our third meeting. "Now, he added kindly, "if we can do anything for you be sure to let us know." And truth to say I had not. Quite otherwise, I had found him and his co-worker, Frensel Sevier Cox, to be very fine gentlemen, indeed. Powell is earnest, sympathetic, and very kindly; Cox is jovial, mild-mannered, and quite likable. He has travelled much, particularly in Africa, and has the free and easy manner of the globe-trotter. Had I never heard of the kind of propaganda they are engaged in I felt I could have liked them just as much as some of my excellent friends, colored and white. Both men showed, moreover, an extreme solicitude at present Negro injustices. Both seemed much moved when I told of the slaughter in the Chicago riot.
IUT-
It is just here that appearances are most deceptive; it is here where so many colored folk permit themselves to be deceived, for from just such affable sources flow the agitation which culminates in lynchings, race riot and racial discords which are the bane in this economic paradise of America. As I listened to them my mind flew back to horrible scenes of butchery I witnessed in the Chicago riot, fomented by such pleasant gentlemen as these, and I felt indeed as if I were having an interview with the devil himself.
also hard at work fostering Jim Crow legislation in northern states, particularly Ohio. They bear the inter-racialists, the N. A. A. C. P. and the Negro press no particular good-will.

Powell, particularly, strikes me as being sincere. But who knows but that the deed of sincerity is the preaching of which strife, bloodshed and war; there are also doctrines which spread love and light and healing. Who can be quite as sincere as the latter? If there is a devil, you may wager you may depend upon the quilty man, but if he is the quilty man who acts in the course follows, and in this case it is the raftags and bobtails—the lynchers—who are the uncutch ones, and not those the fountain head of misguided Messrs. Cox, Plecker and Powell.
Garvey Enthusiasts
Both are intensely interested in Garvey. Powell says that Garvey is one of the greatest influences that has ever come into his life—and anxiously asked me whether he had to the best of my knowledge he had not been guilty of theft but that false representations had undoubtedly been made to promote the sale of stock and that the law had held Garvey responsible. Lane, responsible. Both declared that his imprisonment was a great injustice, and wanted to know if there was such a thing as justice on earth, dispassing the matter of Garvey's supposed release and deportation we came to the African colonization plan, which both are trying to push hard through the present session of the legislature, and when they say they intend to all the legislatures, and Congress.
"The white man," said Cox, "tells your people from Africa, robbed you of all your land and your ships, the ships and bought you to these thieves. But he may now furnish you with ships and every comfort to take you back. We intend to see that this nation acquire African men and you as our government acquired the West. We pledge the white man to use his ships to carry you home, his weapons to fight your enemies, and his implements of trade to make you a wealthy people."
I thought this even fisher than the famous promise of "forty acres and a maze," and suggested that a person would powers his boat pretty often, especially so far as the American Negro was concerned. The latter, I said, was bound throughout the length and thickness of Africa because of his desire to combat the complications I brought down on myself when I innocently asked for a case to go to Africa. I said that the sole hope was the breakthrough, but if I didn't seem to enjoy that, there is Liberia, replied Cox, alibaba is capable of holding all Negroes in America. Your only goal is to colonize for as long as the Negroes will be exploited. The Chamber of Commerce wants the Negroes because they want to rob him. We want them for absolute equality of justice for both races," said Powell, "but they must be separate. Segregation which has lasted more hundred years in this state is probably down. Race mixing is biologically down."

quite complimentary, Ignoring this, however, I again suggested that from what I had learned of the psychology of the American-Liberian I was led to believe that any large number of American Newcomers as on British soil. I pointed out also that the growth of any given population was the result of evolution, and that in the shifting of a large number of population we'd have two problems instead of one. First, from which it was shifted and another where it was taken. However, it strikes me that deportation is one easy way to settle the Hampton institute situation, and that if these gentlemen have their way be able to visit Africa as all. Cox wanted to know whether Negroes would be willing to go "back" to Africa. I told him that I knew a few who were very eager to do so, but that the majority were such good Americans that when any of the number got disgusted and went like France or South America they, like the yellow cat, promptly came back.
"Tell me," fashed Powell, "have your people no pride?" Their theory is that the Negro who wants to be the leader pride God is: "Were I commissioned to retain a part of your race in America and send the others away I would retain those who wish to go and send those who wish to remain. If I were to send them to wish to build a nation of your own, if my race must lose its purity, pray God that the aliens who enter be those who value their own blood and seek to express its worth, and be those who wish to that he regards amalgamation as inevitable unless the Negro is deported. Powell's question was timely, it made me wonder in face of present conditions the several states and even the Federal Government itself would take it if Negroes so-called showed more manly pride. One thing I got into that, professional while I am not that, wouldn't find such easy ridding.
I replied to the effect that the entire training of the so-called Negro was to make him white, white children. That the gods, heroes and flags of both are the same; that in the matter of paying taxes and national duty such as service in time of war, such as service in the civilized citizen; in short, that in all those things that made for the white man's benefit the Negro was an American but that in those things that made for own benefit he was only a Negro.
"You and other white men." I said to Cox two days later. "Have a perfect right to keep yourselves to yourselves to your old aggrand or an old man. You all have right to think yourselves superior to Negroes, but no right to treat them unjustly. The Negro has at least as hard time earning his dollar as has the white man. The Negro however, as exists in the South, the Negro gets less for his dollar than the white man. Who gets what the Negro has lost? Segregation laws are designed expressly to be equal for both. Both men declared that they stand for equal justice to both "races" and are working hard to bring it about. The thing I had been eagerly to hear finally came up for a discussion. I wanted to know how they reacted to the fact brought out by the discussion of the so-called race integrity bill that some twenty thousand of the leading families of Virginia were colored.
Cox brought it up, treating the whole thing as a very good joke. "What do you think of our little comedy in the legislature?" he laughed laughingly, the zealot, it was no laughing matter, however. Cox went on to tell how very mixed with Negro were some of the Indians whom the legislature, in view of the recent disasters, had been affected. These mixed Indians, he said, had the highest contempt for Negroes, who in turn disliked them. "Stop off at West Point," they said, and ask any Negro there to give him a chance. Both say they are working hard to make illicit sex relations between the no-called races a crime, but that the legislators didn't seem so keen for that bill. Powell, I also learned from all the southern legislatures, where he has given addresses. Both men are

also hard at work fostering jim- row legislation in northern states, particularly Ohio. They bear the inter-racialists, the N. A. A. C. P. Negro press no particular good-will. Cox seems to have no particular love for the Virginian aristocrats. I thought I found the clue in the book. It was told that he applied for funds to push his propaganda in the earlier days and was refused. All he received then were good wishes. He was told that he would be booked by working and travelling about the world, working and lecturing. His book, "White America," is being sponsored by three men. They recently provided funds to get out a Congressional edition.
Cox's theory is that all the civilizations of the world, the Chinese included, were originated by the white man, once one hour a day, Negro in meeting in Chicago how the same was originated by Negroes, and that Shakespeare, Beethoven, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great and almost every other great European in a Nordic theory, which claims that all these civilizations were originated by the blondes of northern Europe. Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborne of the Museum of Natural History claims all the great men of history once saw in a lunatic asylum two Negro inmates both claiming that they were Jesus Christ. Cox Prof. Osborne and the Negro in question if asked to account for those lunatics would likely call them megaloids or suffurers from excessal conceit.
The so-called race integrity bill is really a law to keep human beings from being too friendly. American citizens are being too cordial with the exploiters of labor, black and white. Legislation of this sort is based upon such fundamental ignorance of the eternal law of human nature that, like all such stupidity, it is bound to defeat its own position. This is why I wouldn't lift a straw to hinder Mussers, Cox, Plecker and Powell. They are proving what we colored folks have long asserted, namely, that the people have borne only God Almighty knows who is of white and who of Negro ancestry, thereby breaking down the very thing they are trying to erect. Indeed, if I were rich I would finance them in their hunt to prove that I am a Negro. That, indeed, would be the quickest way to get rid of them, for their own people would mob them.
Thus, I say, more power to these gentlemen. They are the enemy, they are the enemy, which this nation is composed, as well as all the world, are working toward a greater era of understanding, peace and love, and these men are out to preserve the world, provide the amount of friction necessary to such progress. Bishop William Montgomery Brown, Thomas Dixon and other famous Negro haters in time see the error of their ways, for verity God shall make even the wrath of His enemies serve Him.
The Negro Church and Recreation
The most encouraging thing about the attitude of the Negro Church toward amusements and recreations is that within the ministry there are developing men and women who bear is small but it is increasing. These men are developing the institutional church idea among Negroes. One element of the church feels that it is not its business to amuse people but the church does that it is a social institution and believes it should encourage and promote playgrounds, ball teams, track sports, and dramatic clubs that offer Christian drama, oratories and canvases. It believes that it is a social institution and does literary, and debating clubs should also be organized. One of the best examples of institutional church work to be found among Negroes is that of St. John's Congregational Church in Springfield, Mass., of which Rev. William N. DeBerry is pastor.
It is said that young people are "materialistic and only interested in money and pleasure" and that that they are "ignorant of their duties, their mothers and mothers." This may be true in a sense—more true than in the past—but it is equally true that in those Negro churches where the ministers have a social function, they are ducted along institutional lines which meet the needs of the young people, they rally to the support of the church and are among its valuable workers—Charles H. Williams in the Southern Workman.

To celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary to the 135th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, national and international Y. M. C.

Governor Smtih's Message to the Legislature on Crime in New York
No function of organized government is of greater importance to the people than the protection of life and property and the preservation of law and order. The penal laws were enacted to provide punishment for the violators and to protect society. The exercise of the police power for the suppression of criminals and for their apprehension is a State function.
The life of the founder of the Branch, the Rev. C. T. Walker, and his service to the community was enologized by Dr. Jesse E. Mooreland, for many years. Executive Secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the National Museum, M. A. who was the principal speaker. Other speakers were the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Phillip's P. E. Church, and one of the original members of the Board of Managers, who was the master of ceremonies; Henry Parker, Chairman of the Board of Managers; J. S. Brown, Jr., one of the first members and organizers of the Branch; Cleveland Dodge, President of the New York Y. M. C. A. who was the Chairman. That Mooreland was synonymous to Y. M. C. A. the Rev. Bishop said in introducing him.
By going back into his personal archive Dr. Mooreland said he had dug up some facts about the Branch's work that make history. He told a group of men from the Bethel and Zion Churches who organized an independent body that was a Y. M. C. A. in 1866. In 1867 the first Negro attended the international conference of the Y. M. C. A. and he was from Manhattan, the speaker said. Speaking of the early life of the Branch, Dr. Mooreland glorified the service that the humble resistance used by the organization rendered the community. It was a "House of Refuge" and a "Rendezvous," he exclaimed. "It developed lay leadership. It improved race relations. It served students by making the house a headquarters for them from all

Crimes of violence are reported not alone in our own state, but are prevalent throughout the country. Figures showing deaths from crimes of violence throughout the country when used in comparison are appalling and during three years beginning in 1922 and ending in 1924 there is a considerable increase. In 1922, 9,500 persons; in 1923, 10,000, and in 1924, 11,000 met death by violence. When compared with the deaths from crimes of violence in England and Wales, we find in the year 1921 there was a total of 149 homicides; during that same year 237 homicides were committed in a single city in the United States. The figures are even more significant by comparison in population. England and Wales in 1923 had a population of 30,000,000; Chicago's population was slightly less than 3,000,000. We find 151 homicides in England and Wales and 389 in Chicago. In 1922, there were 42 murders committed in London, with the population of approximately 7,500,000, as against 262 murders in the City of New York.
A study of the criminal population in the prisons of our own state indicates crimes of violence are not confined to the big cities, but take place throughout the state, almost in proportion to the population. This distressing situation must be met in so far as the state can met it. Our efforts must of necessity be along two lines—the punishment of crime and its prevention. In regard to punishment it seems to me it is necessary for us to ascertain whether

over the country. It served the churches by developing better lay leaders," Dr. Mooreland said. During the points that he would make Dr. Mooreland would inject numerous happenings that he experienced in the early work of the organization. While in the South during his conference, the speaker said he first became aware of the effort of a group to organize a branch of the Y. M. C. A. by a newspaper article. He said that the story told of a Negro minister who had just came to New York from the South holding a revival and planning a fair in order to raise enough money to form a branch of the "association." In Joseph Rev. the doctor, who was pastor of the Mr. Oliver Baptist Church, Dr. Mooreland called him a "wonderful association man."
Mr. Dodge extended greetings to the Branch on behalf of the other branches of New York City. He put this question to the young men who were present: "What are we going to do in the next 25 years?" The branch of the City was organized in February, 1901, largely through the leadership of the Rev. Walker. In 1913 money was made available for a modern structure to house the organization and a plant was constructed. The growth of the community has been so rapid that the building, which was opened in 1916, is now too small. The Branch has a member of the Executive Secretary, an Executive Secretary, a staff of 15 assistants. The annual salary list is over $38,000, and the annual budget is $4,000.
Message to the Crime in New York
government is of greater imme the protection of life and propaw and order. The penal lawsishment for the violators and rise of the police power for and for their apprehension is
or not our existing criminal statutes need revision and whether our penal systems including imprisonment, probation, parole, and the bonding system are yielding the best possible results in adequately punishing the criminal or preparing him to take his place again in society after he has offended against it. The administration of justice may need strengthening. That can be ascertained only by a study of the actual workings of our judicial system in so far as it applies to the criminal law. A study of our prisons, reformatories, parole and probation systems would help to disclose defects, if any, in the existing methods of connection and would unquestionably point the way to preventive measures. When we consider the question of prevention there may be deep underlying causes of crime rooted in social and criminal conditions that could be brought to light by careful studies in this field.
Organizations of citizens generally through the country have recognized these conditions and prominent citizens are ready to cooperate to the end that public opinion may be awakened to the importance of bringing about effective measures to lessen and prevent crime. New York State because of its leadership in the nation should be the first to put the full force of its strength behind a movement directed to the solution of these questions and that, will probably become countrywide. The recommend the enactment of a statute that will bring into existence a special temporary commission to be made up of four members of the Legislature selected by its bodies and five citizens to be appointed by the Governor. The usual powers should be delegated to the commission to subpoena witnesses and to compel the production of books and papers.

77,201 Persons Convicted in New York Last Year
ALBANY, Feb. 20.—Printers were a pretty well-behaved group last year, although 68 of the number pied matters so badly that they landed in court, as against 64 the year before. It's down in black and white in the annual report on criminal statistics submitted this week to the Legislature by Florence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of State. Editors and reporters cut up a bit during the year, but not to the extent of underinkers and ice cream, but two of their beat. And as for stereotypors, chalk up a perfect mark, for not a single one went wrong.
All told, 77,201 persons were convicted last year in courts of record and courts of special sessions in this State, as against 74,959 the previous year. Out of 65,237 persons convicted in courts of special sessions, no 65 were indicted, while 43,111 were for misdemeanors. During the past year 14 persons were convicted in this State for first-degree murder; 32 for second-degree murder; 53 for manslaughter, first degree; 48 for manslaughter, second degree; a total of 147, with 15 executions. The year 14 included four executions. There have been 20 executions in this State in the last fifteen years.
The report shows that 19 accountants figured things wrong last year and landed in court; one airbrot and one actress flopped, while 13 aviators crashed, and 83 bakers, with a crust, gathered in the dough. No less than 95 barbers were shorn of liberty. 38 butchers cat off more than they could chew. 28 bricklayers laid the foundation of trusses and 55 shatterers into court. A couple of dentists, pulled something besides teeth, while 281 farmers gowed the wrong sort of seed and gathered a harvest of trouble. Eight lawyers, were not slick enough to keep out of the meshes of the law.
Improved Conditions Reported in Haiti
WASHINGTON. — According to a report made by Dr. W. W. Cumberland, financial adviser and general receiver of Haiti, the trade in that republic has experienced a gratifying impact during the last three years.
Similar increases in importations of textiles, says Dr. Cumberland, show that the population is more adequately clothed; while the large increases in imported footstuff show that the people are battling that the purchasing power of the population is expanding.
It appears that from every point of view the finances and commerce of Haiti may be regarded in a prosperous condition. Public funds have been devoted to constructive purposes; waste has been reduced to a minimum; the public debt has been completely funded; all arrents of interest and amortization have been liquidated, and there is a gratifying excess of exports over imports.

Howard University's New Gymnasium and Armory Building Dedicated
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1. — The new Gymnasium-Armory building at Howard University, for which the Government has appropriated $197,500 for the building and for the new stadium and athletic field, and in connection with which the university trustees have expended an additional $39,633.28, was dedicated Friday, Feb. 26, at 3:30 o'clock. Impressive exercises were held in connection with the dedication.
Honorable Hubert Work, Secretary of the Department of the Interior and patron ex-officio of Howard University, was scheduled as the principal speaker, but on account of an engagement with the Convention of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association, now in session in Washington, was unable to attend the dedication exercises.
Greetings were extended by Honorable Louis C. Cramton, Chairman of the Sub-Committee of the House Committee on Appropriations, which handles the Interior Department appropriations, under which Howard University comes; by Doctor William Mather Lewis, president of George Washington University, and Doctor Peter Guilday, who spoke for Doctor E. A. Pace, of the Catholic University of America.

T.B. Ass'n Opposes Chiropractors Public Would Suffer, It Says, if Untrained Men Were Licensed
The Board of Directors of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, at their monthly meeting held February 23, made public their stand against the proposed bill to, license chiropractors in this State, which came up for hearing before the Committee on Public Health in Albany on February 24.
The Board opposes the bill on the ground that the practitioners of chiropractic attack the modern health program by denying the germ origin of disease wholesale. According to the resolution passed by the Board, chiropractors flour vaccination for smallpox, oppose the treatment of diphtheria by antoxin condemn surgery, and require the treatment of diabetes by insulin.
The licensing of men untrained medically to practice chiropractic would, according to Mr. Harry L. Hopkins, director of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, leave the public unprotected against the spread of epidemics.
"Much of the modern public health program," Mr. Hopkins said, "depends on educating people to be examined every year, whether they think they are sick or not. Thus disorders are discovered in early stages when they are easily diagnosed and can be treated by forces when conducted by practors, who would be called doctors under the proposed law. Also, infectious and contagious diseases must be reported to local boards of health when discovered by a doctor. Now, if this bill licensing chiropractors goes through, a sick man consulting such a doctor may have a seriously contagious disease without the chiropractor ever suspecting it. Of course, the disease spread if the man is not isolated. All public health and welfare agencies have opposed legislation designed to give official recognition to chiropractors when such bills have repeatedly come up during the last ten years at Albany.

new to the Negro, as there
on free Negroes.
Undoubtedly there is a "New Negro"—in the making, if not in actuality. What is he? Rather let us ask first what was the old Negro? The old Negro was a slave, dependent upon the white people for his food and his thinking. Because he was a slave and dependent for his food and his thinking, his occupations and his education were limited to the white man's whim.
When Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, he made possible a New Negro—a free Negro. But freedom was not entirely new to the Negro, as there were in 1860 some half million free Negroes.
New Negro encourages the pioneer in other lines. He is willing to "take a chance" to build for the future. The splendid businesses we have built up largely by quiet determined pioneers, were built by "New Negroes." We like to think of John Merrick of North Carolina as a "New Negro." Mr. Merrick would have presented the term. For the "educated" Negroes who are doing nothing had appropriated it. But while Merrick had little education, he had the new spirit. He was a pioneer. He saw the possibilities of the future; he was willing to take the risk. He did so. He succeeded, and the wonderful North Carolina Mutual is the result. He was supported by New Negroes, some of them "educated," most of them uneducated, but all of them born of new spirit.
3. The New Negro thinks straight. Because he is born of the new spirit of freedom, he is determined to have freedom in all its phases. He is willing to bear all its responsibilities. He wants all of its privileges. He refuses to believe he is different from or inferior to any other of God's children. But he is not raising too big a row about it. He is like a little brother of ten, who knows he is potentially equal to his brother of 15 but he can't whip him. But he also knows that if he studies hard, works and develops himself, the time will come when he will be actually equal to the older brother in every respect. But he will not secure that equality by talk, but work.
The New Negro believes in God. He may be gradually changing his theology. It is perhaps wise that he should. But he believes in God. A hundred years ago a New Negro walked out of St. George's Church, Philadelphia, and preferred to worship in an old blacksmith shop which was bought by black people than in a fine house for which he did not pay. He believed that self-support is of God. A hundred years have passed and the influence of Richard Allen still persists. He did not yield one inch. He believed that God was the father of all and all are equally His children. This meant equality in privilege and equality in responsibility. And this church has attracted more "now" Negroes than any church supported from the

To our way of thinking the New Negro, if there is such, is a tree Negro, dependent upon himself for his food and thinking—a Negro who has the ideal of a spiritually and economically independent group working in harmony with and being a part of the larger American group, who has thrown off the slave spirit.
The New Negro is possessed of a new spirit.
As Bishop Hansom said in his recent speech here the thing which oppresses the Negro is the spirit of slavery in the Negro and not the white people. And what the Negro needs is a new spirit of freedom, of manhood, of independence. Now getting a diploma from some university does not necessarily give one a new spirit. We know many conceived Negroes who have been so puffed up by a diploma that they think they are better than all other Negroes, and their chief grievance seems to be that the white people won't accept them as social equals. They don't care a rap about the face, and are sorry they are identified with it. Nearly every large community has a few of these. Their spirit is the same old spirit of slavery where the housemaid thought she was better than all other Negroes and displaced them and where the mulatto concubine's only regret was that she was not white.
Again there are Negroes who seek to impress white people to get donations from them for the great work of "uplift" they are accomplishing among their "downtrodden race." And every move they make is to keep in the good graces of and on the payroll of some rich white people. These parasites are not "new Negroes." They are a new edition of the old time slave Negro. The New Negro is a Negro who believes in himself as a child of God, a brother to all men and who is striving as best he can to realize that brotherhood by doing his part—he has been born again, and no longer has the spirit of slavery.
1st. He believes in self-support. He supports his family; and helps to build a foundation for racial self-support. To do this, he believes it is not only necessary to talk "race pride" but to act it. Hence he buys from a Negro grocer wherever he can; he goes to a Negro church; he puts his money in a Negro bank; he has insurance in a Negro insurance company; he acts race pride. Now this Negro may not be an "A. I." from Yale or Princeton or Columbia, but he is new. And only by his kind will the Negro ever come to self-support and gain a place in the sun. Talk won't do the work.
2. The New Negro is a pioneer for his people. The old Negro looks for sure support. He has the spirit of the slave. He may boast of his high education, but he is not using any chances of making a living. That's the "old" slave Negro. But the new Negro launches out into business. (He may fail and the "old" Negro may laugh at him.) The

Civil Service News
(Prepared by the New York Academy of Business.)
March 3 was the last day for filing application for the U. S. Civil Service examination at the Custom House. New York City, for stenographer and typist. Another examinant of the same kind will be held shortly.
The Municipal Civil Service Commission has set requirements for the Temporary Clerk examination which is to take place in the very near future. The temporary position pays a salary of $1000 a month and is the steppingstone for something bigger and more permanent in the Civil Service.
The City Service also set requirements for the Male Stenogramer-Typeist examination, which will be held shortly. The test is only validly in Grade 3. A very good position in the service.
The next post office examination for Clerks will be held March 20. This examination is being held the third Saturday in each month, 15 years and this year will see all clerks and carriers throughout the service receiving a $1,200 pension. Applications for this test may be had at the Custom House. The New York State Civil Service Commission will hold its regular Spring examination for all State departments on March 20. Applications and information may be had at Albany, N. Y. There were 685 clerks appointed from the list of the State Civil Service Commission on this day. In the same list, there were only 40 colored girls, all of whom received appointments with the rest.

MESSENGER'S FUNERAL

A striking tribute to the worth of one of its older messengers was paid Thursday by the United States Supreme Court when Chief Justice Taft and Associates Justice Van Deventer and McKennaids, representing that tribunal, attended the funeral of Eugene Brooks, and the court as a body sent a beautiful floral piece. Brooks died Sunday night after a service of more than 40 years as a messenger for the court, during the more recent years he was in charge of the room in which members of the most august tribunal in the land donned their judicial mantles. His service danced back to the regime of Chief Justice Waite and he was intimately known by all the great jurists that have since stepped across the stage of the court.

Frequent Bilious Attacks
"I suffered with severe bilious attacks that came on two or three times each month," says Mr. J. P. Nevins, of Lawrenceburg, Ky. "I would get nauseated. 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: Bilirus attacks are “seasonal” with many people. Millions have taken Theodard’s Black-Draught to ward off such attacks, and the good results they have reported should induce you to try it.

A Warning Against Anxiety
By REV. WILLIAM P. HAYES
Pastor M. Olivet Baptist Church
Text—"Therefore, I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on." Matt. 6:25.
"Which of you by taking thought can add one cubic unto his stature?" Matt. 6:27.
These are very remarkable passages of scripture, and require close study in order to be correctly understood and interpreted. They have been frequently misunderstood and misapplied by superficial thinkers. There are multitudes of well-meaning but mistaken persons, who insist upon a literal interpretation of these scriptures—a taking never intended by the author.
Let us attempt, first of all, to show what these passages of scripture do not, and cannot mean. I am sure that the Lord did not mean to say to us that men should not exercise forestight and provision of life. He did not mean to say that men should make no effort to secure themselves against the day of age and decline. He certainly did not mean to utter an exhortation against industry and effort.
We all know that it would be contrary both to reason and the general teaching of scripture to tell men that they should make no attempt to provide for the future; that they should exhibit no concern about the morrow of life when one's earning powers become materially diminished, and when, if nothing has been saved, one becomes an object of charity and a public charge. It would be nothing less than criminal to preach this sort of gospel to the world; for it encourages indulence, puts a premium on inefficiency, and produces a crop of derelicts from whom society might well pray to be delivered.
To those who insist upon a literal interpretation of the scriptures before us, we propound the following questions: If, as you say, these scriptures are to be taken literally, how will you reconcile them with other scriptures that are distinctly at variance with them? How, for instance, will you reconcile them with that scripture which says, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise?" Now we know that the distinguishing thing about the ant is his remarkable provision, his highly developed instinct of self-preservation. No man can study the ant seriously and remain a sluggard. Once again: How will you reconcile your view of this scripture with the action of the Israelites in gathering a double portion of manna on the sixth day? Or with the beatitude which says: "Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth." We are justified in insuring ourselves against the day of adversity and want.
Illustrated by storing coal, insurance, etc., the text should read: "Take no anxious thought for your life—take no excessive or How the Ch Adu
How the Church Should Advertise
By RUTH DENNIS
The one person in the advocate proper church adven the preacher whose condet heart strengthened or weakened If a preacher has somethi worth hearing, he ought to be get for it the largest possible preacher, the force of truth a sage are in proportion to the
The one person in the church who should fearlessly advocate proper church advertising is the preacher. It is the preacher whose condet is guided, hands upheld and heart strengthened or weakened by church attendance.
If a preacher has something to say which he considers worth hearing, he ought to be concerned and ambitious to get for it the largest possible hearing. The power of the preacher, the force of truth and the influence of the message are in proportion to the number of people who hear it.
Nothing short of a full house can draw out the full powers of the preacher. Anticipations and realizations of great audiences will make him a great preacher. For the sake of stimulating his own fancies, as well as doubling his power, the influence, the sense of the preacher's chief ambitions should be to get and hold a crowd.
tional, they must be slangy and vulgar—God deliver us from all such. Christ was always sane and wisely sensational. Every day He did something so that His enemies cried out, "He stirreth up the people."
The message of the pulpit has twice the power when it is heard by a man in the midst of a multitude. But the electric force of the pulpman is broken to the man who listens to it over the back of an empty pew. The evening audience is the supreme test of the preach-ing. He alone is responsible for the kind of audience he has in the evening, in the meeting the say that is worth hearing; if his sermons are addressed to human life as men have to live it, he will get a hearing.
The minister must be a public man and give up nearly all seclusion. He becomes the people's servant. The one who advertises will find all hands—a dozen will come for help where one came before. course. It is understood that those who will be firing, darts will cut into the heart. He affections he when that revival and presente you and say all manner of will against you falsely for My sake."
Church advertising should always be dignified. The dignity of the sacred gospel should never be neglected to the level of the street, lobby in the street, week and want in the street, on Sunday. Every preacher should be sensational. If Christ was anything else he was sensational almost an extreme. There are two kinds of sensationalism — one which impresses the truth by a startling message to the other which preaches that to the sensa-

harassing thought for tomorrow. Let anxiety be put out of your life. Be careful, but not full of care."
Anxiety is caused by the conflict of anticipatory emotions. It is a mental state that is superinduced by a feeling of uneasiness or dread regarding the future. It is mental agitation over something the outcome of which is uncertain.
Now, it is anxiety that is forbidden by our Lord, and for the following good reasons:
1. The thing about which we are anxious may never come to pass. If it does not, then we have worried and frightened in vain. If it does come to pass, then our worry and anxiety have been wasted still, for they were not effective in preventing it from coming to pass. Either result makes anxiety both futile and foolish. If a thing is likely to happen anyhow, then why worry over it? If you can prevent its happening, then go ahead and do it, and don't worry over it.
2. We ourselves may never live to see the future time over which we are worrying.
3. It will be time enough to attend to the future when it arrives. We can never foresee every circumstance connected with a future event.
4. There are enough duties in the present to engage our attention without worrying over the probabilities of the future.
"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

The church may learn how to advertise by studying and observing the methods of the best business men. The most sillyshod institution in the world is the average church. Hence, the poverty and poor success of our churches. Road successful business ads in newspapers and magazines. The same success is what is needed in church advertising today. What holds your eye will hold others.
"First—Your advertisement must which advertises the man. Some he seen. If it is not looked at, it is lost. Make it CONSPICuous."
"Second—Your advertisement must be read. If it is not read it is wasted. Make it SIMPLE.
"Third—Your advertisement must be understood. If it is not understood, it is again wasted. Make it PLAN.
"Fourth—What you write must be believed. The power of convincing is the greatest power. He who can make others believe and who is sincere and believes himself, first of all, is the successful man in every line."
This subject of advertising is so extensive that volumes could be written. Each community has its peculiar problem which must be met in certain peculiar ways.
Advertising is the weapon of the church of today. That church which falls to use it must not wonder why it is unsuccessful in attacking the stronghold of evil.

took the number of the New York Stock Exchange team by two out of three games. What was probably one of the most interesting and intellectual lectures ever given in the junior department was listed: Mr. Paul Emanuel Lo Bagoola, a native African, spoke on the "Bush Life" of the natives.
Say, tellows, did you ever promise anybody to do something for him? Did you do it? I guess you did. Now, here's a good promise to make yourself, and a better one to live up to. Read it over, and if you can promise yourself that you must come out, join our gang—Troop No. 774 of the Hoy Scouts:
On my honor I will do my best: (1) To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; (2) to help other people at all times; (3) to keep myself physically mentally awake and morally straight.
The Scout Law.
There are twelve points to the Scout law that a Scout promises to obey. A Scout is (1) trustworthy, (2) loyal, (3) helpful, (4) friendly, (5) courteous, (6) kind, (7) helpful, (8) cheerful, (9) thrifty, (10) brave, (11) clean, (12) rivenet.
Now parents, don't you think that the Scout oath and law are great promises for a boy to make? Don't you think that any boy who tries hard to live up to them can be a better boy, and therefore a better son? If you do, let him join the Boy Scouts and, by the way, we'll tell you more of what a Scout learns next week.

St. Benedict the Moor Mission Continues
The mission conducted by the Capuchin Fathers in St. Benedict's Church, West Fifty-third street, which opened last Sunday, will close at 8 o'clock Sunday night, March 7.
There are three special services every day, 6 and 9 o'clock a. m. and 8 o'clock p. m. The Capuchins are a branch of the Franciscan Order to which St. Benedict, the Moor, belonged. They wear the same kind of a habit that St. Benedict wore 300 years ago, when he was the prior of the monastery in Palermo, Sicily.
Monsignor Thos. M. O'Keefe, pastor of St. Benedict's Church, visited this monastery when he was in Italy two years ago and saw the body of St. Benedict, which still remains uncorrupted. He received from Father Carmelo Rainer, the present prior of the monastery and the successor of St. Benedict in that office, a relic of the first order of the saint. It is a small piece of bone taken from the little finger of the right hand. Such a relic is not given generally except to important cathedrals, but in this case St. Benedict's Church was judged worthy of this high honor. It will be exposed at the end of the service every night next week for all those who might like to see it and venerate it.

FOUNTAIN—In loving memory of our dear sister, Nannie E. Fountain, who departed this life March 4, 1925.
It is not death to die, to leave this weary road.
And, amid the brotherhood on high, be at home with God.
Death is the happy release
From turmoil, strife, sickness

Upon their journey to thar better land.

railway carriers, it is at once clearly obvious that the Watson-Parker Parker is of vital concern, and that the benefits it seeks to make available to employer and employee alike are open to use by these 135,000 colored workers of rail and tie. If they will but be wakeful of their rights.
The philosophy back of the bill is stated with clarity by Congressman Schuyler Merritt, Republican, of Connecticut, who says:
"No intelligent employer of labor now fails to recognize that his employees are not mere units, and still less mere machines, but that they are human beings, with like feelings and like desires, that they have right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." And as to the conditions of labor and wages, it is very common to have shop councils and shop committees, so that the employers and the employed can meet together as partners in a common enterprise and as follow men who can discuss their common interests and relationships as man to man. The slang vernacular, it's up to the 183,000 railroad brothers to make 'em know it, under the Watson-Parker Bill, if passed. And

the first step is to perfect the unit idea, together with shop councils, committees, and other group formations. Then maybe the Negro train porters who are now doing brakemen's work can receive brakemen's pay, and pay them some more telegraph operators, engineers and other craftsmen of notable qualifications, position, and pay.
Education's Debit Side
THE United States Government, through its Department of Interior, which cares for and nurtures Howard University, "an institution of higher education of the colored youth of the nation in liberal arts and sciences, medicine, law, and religion," has recently seen fit to remind the American public that Howard University is indeed "the Capstone of Negro education," as was once stated by Dr. James H. Dillard, a courageous white educator, who has given the best years of his worthy life to the cause of Negro education.
This gentle reminder, however, like everything else worth while, has to run the gauntlet of such contraine proclamations as that sounded in the minority report of two Democratic Congressmen, M. E. Tydlings of Maryland and B. G. Lowery of Mississippi, who vigorously Congressional appropriations for an impeachment of, Howard University, in order that it may more nearly approach the "capstone" stage described by the Government and Dr. Dillard.
These opponents as a preliminary opposition to the education of Negro youth at Howard, say that the appropriations which Congress has generously and publicly made for more than forty years are illegal. Next, they over that financial support should come in the way of self-help from the oppressed race and its friends. Next, they infer

discrimination on the part of Congress prejudicial to such wealthy schools as George Washington University and other colleges of overfowling wealth, from which Negroes are excluded, from which University is also that Howard University is a political machine, which misuses educational funds for political purposes, forgetting that, even if Howard were a political absorbent, it could neither sap up nor yield any marked political influence either in Mississippi or Maryland or Virginia, and ballot boxes abound—only for some, not all, of the people.
There's some solace, though, even in this debit entry which Howard's opponents are trying to make. That solace comes from the fact that, even in these very States, Maryland and Mississippi, where educational needs are great, and where the grossest kind of discrimination exists against not only "capstone" but even free school education for Negroes, Howard graduates have gone, and are, little by little, teaching the Negro people, healing the wounded, teaching them and mapping them to raise their heads above the groom that the race's opponents have cast over them and their ancestors. This silent testimony, unrecorded in the Halls of Congress, speaks more eloquently than all the minority reports that can be submitted by the opponents of Negro education in the next hundred decades.
Vocational Training in Agriculture
SINCE the Federal Board for Vocational Training was established, Negro youths engaged in agricultural studies in the Southern States have at least been able to break through the agricultural pie-crust which heretofore held them firmly to antiquated methods of training and antique farm equipment. Even so, it has been a matter of common complaint that the school system has given them a not too favorable opportunity to meet the improved standards of the Federal vocational training plans.
However, you may prepare, now, to smile; for at last, with the close of last year, gradual improvement in the agricultural educational system is noted. You are suitable for ages 12 and older, more term and the trend toward employing more teachers on a 12-month basis indicate the dawn of a new day in the southern vocational training system, as supervised by the Federal Board. The schools are 3,000 Rosenwald schools, as well as 700 county training schools, which are utilized as institutions in which desirable vocational work in agriculture may be organized. There has been a gratifying increase in the number or all-day schools for Negroes, the children of the preceding year, or an increase of 13 per cent.
The all-day school enrollments show a 4 per cent. increase. The number of unit course-schools increased from 15 to 39 and the enrollments in these schools grew from 324 to 549. Part-time schools increased from 12 to 25, and the enrollments in these schools show a slight decrease. In favor of all-day courses. Eventing schools, with an

Africa's New Treasure
THE African diamond fields have a rival, now that it has been discovered that there are more than 2,000 square miles of platinum territory. Platinum is a new branch of the mineral industry in South Africa, and first reports of its discovery in 1923 were discredited. Keen prospectors, though they knew that Africa had yielded untold wealth in previous decades, stuck to their "lead," with the result that companies have been formed to mine the 2,000 square miles of platinum territory already available, and to prepare for the additional territory that will undoubtedly come to light in due course.
People who have delved into commercialism long enough to realize how African resources have been exploited in the past will utter a prayer that in the forthcoming platform rush greater utilities of Africa and her native sons than has been the case herefore. Greedy British, Dutch and French, are already surging all over the Dark Continent with 99-year leases and various other instrumentalities of injustice for the native classes. They are so much of the honey of African countries that one wonders just what is left. Not satisfied with more exploitation of wealth and of men, they have been trying, during the past year, to pass a color bar bill to exclude African labor from equitable and just practices. To the credit of the stubborn and lasting fight against this insult, and victory seems to be within their grasp.
It is to be hoped that the platinum rush, in this modern era of civilization, may be attended with a large degree of honesty; that whatever credit is due to Africa and her people will be given her wealth for wealth legal technicalities of chicane may be set aside for moral, Christian, human considerations.
Boxes All Sold for National Ass'n Dance
At the Tuesday meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of the N. A. A. C. P., Mrs. A. B. Slightner reported that she had been successful in securing the services of prominent caterers for the Fourth Annual Hall at the Manhattan Casino on Hall 19 to be in charge of the beautifully decorated Green Room and a delicous menu attractively served will be offered to those whose fastidious tastes rebel against ordinary sandwiches from the lunch counter. This will also be an excellent opportunity for the home-bodies who should become acquainted with the superior food and service for which these caterers are noted.
Mrs. Ford Dabney (Audubon

had been engaged but that a num-

Parks and Playgrounds Committee of 1.000
Sonator Nathan Straus, Jr., announces the formation of a committee of one thousand to advocate the $30,000,000 project for parks and playgrounds before the city authorities. Elinhu Root Sr. is the honorary chairman of the committee. The committee is composed of citizens who have been interested in the provision of recreation in the south and adults. In its membership persons who have developed courses to the study of the subject as recreation and civil workers. The Park Board, comprised of the five park commissioners, has endorsed the committee and each of the commissioners has become a member of the honorary committee. The commissioners are: Francis D. Galatin, James J. Browne, Joseph J. Honnessy, James Butler, John J. O'Tourke. An advocate has been formed of twenty-five prominent park and city advocates has been formed. It is to meet in the near future to make plans for making known to the public the values of the plan and the
economies of acquisition of lands at this time.
The item has been placed on the special calendar of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment now in preparation because of Comptroller Charles W. Berry's suggestion of a survey of public money. A memorandum has been prepared by the State Council of Parks, of which Robert Moses is the Chairman, in accordance with the provisions of the State Conservation Law, which shows that the problem in New York City is particularly urgent as to the acquisition of land for the proposed extensions and connections of park and parkland areas. The good plan provides for the acquisition of land only, which is the important thing. It is proposed to divide the $30,000,000 as follows: $20,000,000 for major park and parkway areas and $10,000,000 for playgrounds, to be segregated later on.
Among the members of the honorary committee are: Mrs. John Blair, George Gordon Battle, E. M. Bassett, William M. Chadburn, William W. Cohen, Robert W. DeForest, Mrs. Arthur Dodge, Mrs. H. Edward Dreler, Jonah J. Goldstein, Richard Gotell, John J. Gossett, William M. Osborne, Otto H. Kahn, William E. Kelly, Eugene Knickle Jones, Mrs. Jas Lees Laddlaw, Rt. Rev. Mgr. M. J.

Management
By C. F. ARMSTRONG.
This series of twelve articles have taken a newly organized venture from an embryo stage to the place where it is in a position to actually do business. Success from now on will be due to the efficiency of the management.
It might be well at this juncture to define the word: "Management" is the net results, whether good or bad, of the plans and policies of the men in executive control of the business. If these plans are weighed and aggressively carried out, the business will grow, and possibly become an industrial giant. If the management is ultral conservative, and afraid to venture afield, the enterprise will be stunted and doomed to be eliminated from the field of its ondear.
The importance of management is evidenced by the very large salaries being paid all the leading executives in the large corporations today. It has been found through research that the producing of business, where hundreds of thousands or millions are involved, that the high-priced man with years of experience behind him is the cheapest man. Such a man, or group of men, is able to see locks, and effect remedies which result in profit to their respective companies. Those savings in large salaries small by comparison.
The agitation today for economic freedom, and just compensation for its efforts, as waged by various labor unions, is called Labor's war against Capital; but this is wrong; the strife is between Labor and capital; and in nikos a very ineffective part in various disputes. It is represented by its respective management.
Many business men, in direct control of affairs, have arisen from the ranks, and have experienced the same hardships, or fostered the same animosity toward the management as the present agitators, but as they arose in the scale of importance, their understanding of the things that were hazy, through a better understanding, are made clear.
Such men are more than apt to be able to settle the differences on an equalized basis, suitable to both labor and capital, of which they, the management, are the trustees.
Management is rarely in favor of strikes or lockouts, except when the demands of labor are very unreasonable. An experience has taught nothing, and its depreciation is greater because of idleness. The ability to keep an enterprise running profitably, with an army of satisfied customers, and a loyal group of workers, is the best tribute that I know of for any management.
Robeson Going to Russia?
MOSCOW, Russia.—The coming appearance of a colored actor, Robertson, who is billed as "America's best actor," is announced by the state management of the Kameryn Theatre. The authorities say the selection was made after consideration of the histrionic and also the social aspects of the case. Robertson will appear in the title role in Eugene O'Neill's "Hairy Ape," which was selected as a tragedy best showing the crisis of individualism. The colored actor, Robertson, selected by the Russian State Theatre to appear in Moscow as America's best actor, undoubtedly is Paul Robeson, star of Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones" and "All God's Chilun Got Wings." It was said in New York theatrical circles.
Report Brutal Murder of Unoffending Insurance Agent in Dublin, Georgia
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 9 Fifth avenue, has received reports and newspaper clippings recounting the brutal murder by white men of G. H. Donaldson, an insurance agent in the town of Brownsville, even by the whites being that Donaldson "resisted arrest" when served with a defective warrant.
The trouble arose when Donaldson, driving his automobile, was run into the automobile of Ezra Kea. The crash was witnessed by two white men, Darton Jones and Ira Clark, who are quoted by a local white newspaper as saying that the white driver was to blame for the accident, as he was run over on the wrong side of the road.
The white man, Kea, together with two other white men, obtained a defective warrant for Donaldson's arrest, not knowing the name of the man whose automobile Kea had run into. The three whites are said to have remarked on having obtained their defective warrant that they "were going to have a settlement or a Negro." A fight ensued when the three whites reached Mr. Donaldson's home, and Mr. Donaldson was shot and killed, two of the white men being wounded. In a dying statement made by

Luckeyth Roberts and Paul Bass Doing Nicely South
They Are Teaching the "Ultra-Ultas" Latest Thing in Charleston Steps, but Away From the Crackers.
Coming on the heels of a story which the Evening Journal tried its best to make sensational, was a letter to us from C. Luckyyth Roberts telling of the success with which he and his partner, Paul Bass, is meeting in the land of unobscured sunshine.
Hearing of the hard winter thunder which are now about to "March on three," he seemed to have taken french delight in recounting those things which would naturally make one feel jealous of him.
Roberts gives in detail a full account of the wonderful climate, beautiful moonlight nights, warm shoes, caressingly hailing the shoes of ornamental other things, which drive home the fact that he is enjoying life in a most desirable part of the coun
Mr. Donaldson, he declared he did not have a pistol when he went to the door at the summons of the three whites; that one white man grabbed him by the collar and tried to drag him down the steps as soon as he opened the door, and that the other white men joined in, one of them shooting him. A Negro witness is quoted as corroborating Mr. Donaldson's statement that he had no pistol and that the three white men began beating him before he had an opportunity to defend himself. The three whites were killed following the murder, the murder man had beured reputation and Clerk of Council A. H. Grier is quoted as having assured the three whites before they called on Mr. Donaldson that they would find him ready to do what was right and would have no difficulty in settling the matter amicably.
An editorial in the local Courier-Herald, in commenting on the case, declares: "If our civilization has progressed to the point we claim, it is time to stop white-washing a crime because it is a case of a white man against a Negro." One of the white men has already been acquitted by a jury and the case against the other two is expected to be dropped, according to latest advices received by the N. A. A. C. P.
try while we are still hoping the sun will remain our long enough to remove the last vestiges of the three-in-one snowstorm of February.
While it is true that Paul and Luckeyt are teaching the "ultra ultras" the latest thing in modern steps, they are doing this in a section where there are few if any crackers, and is well as, successfull enough to knowledge the intricate dances they are forced to hold hands with the ultras.
Among those taking lessons and between times rapturously applauding the piano playing of Mr. Roberts are some of the leading people of the land which include the Rodney Brant, Countess Salm Von Hoogstraeten, Rodman Wanamaker, and Mrs. Joshua Cosden, Mrs. Ed Shearson, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. O'Brien, Mr. and Mrs. Flo Ziegfeld, Paris Binger, Captain Allister McIntosh, Major and Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Miss Warburton, Warburton, Mrs. Philip Doubleday, Leonard Replogle, Herbert Pulitzer, Harold Vanderbilt and Mr. and Mrs. Drexel
LIBRARY NOTES
In the course of lectures on "Historical Negro Characters," the next will be given on Wednesday, March 10, by Mrs. Elise McDougall, on "Sojourn Time." The place will be the 135th Street Library and the hour 8:30. Another exhibit of great interest in the Department of Negro History is that of native African art from Nigeria, West Africa, which was donated to this department by Mrs. John, the memory of her husband, John. The objects include jewel boxes, mats, haskets, pottery, gourds, a beautifully designed handbag, and other things.
"Crap" Shooters Discharged
"The Big Parade" was featured at the Jamaica Magistrate's Court last Thursday, when 31 men charged with shooting craps were brought before Magistrate Miller, Patrolman Murphy, of the special division which deals with such crimes, alleged that he had entered the premises at North Carolina University later Sunday. He said he heard men talking in loud tones and calling numbers while dice were rolled. He entered, he said, and found the men shooting crap.
Magistrate Miller asked if the noise they were alleged to have made could be heard in the street or if it was audible only in the premises. The officer said they could not be heard from the street, whereupon Magistrate Miller declared that they were not disturbing the peace and the charge of disorderly conduct was then dismissed while the men filed out of the court room.

A LEARNED MAGISTRATE
"THERE are too many of your kind in Harlem who want people to believe that they are not Negroes by taking offense when they are called 'niggers.' Nigger means the same thing as Negro."
THUS one of our learned magistrates, George W. Simpson, sitting in the Tombs Court, is quoted as saying when he found a man guilty of disorderly conduct, in that he resented being called a nigger by a white girl, who accused him of speaking to her while the two were sitting at a table in a public restaurant. If the man made improper advances to the girl, it is right that he should pay for his folly. Similar punishment should be given the hundreds of white men who insult colored girls every day in the subway trains, on elevated railway platforms, and in other public places.
BUT WHY was it necessary for Magistrate Simpson to insult every colored person in the United States? Why should he be so anxious to reveal his own shortcomings? The two words may mean the same thing to him, in which event we infer that Jew and kike, Italian and wop, Irish and mick, Chinese and chink, also mean the same thing to him. Such a belief shows his lack of observation, unintelligence and racial prejudices so clearly as to render him absolutely unfit to sit in any court in New York State. It shows the type of men Tammany Hall politics places in position of honor and trust. A raving maniac could do no more to destroy efforts being made to bring about racial understandings, mutual respect and good-will between men.
Lynching By Law
FRANKLY, we are alarmed at the swiftness with which justice is being meted out in certain parts of the South and several border States to Negroes accused, arrested, tried and found guilty of heinous crimes. Not that we are opposed to seeing men, white or black, pay the penalty for such crimes, but because when the wheels of justice, which ordinarily turn at a snail-like pace, are revolved at aeroplane motor speed, the mechanism is likely to suffer beyond repair.
ON JANUARY 21, Eleanor Steinmetz, a white girl, and Mrs. Bertha Neal, a colored woman, were attacked, supposedly, by Harry Butler, a twenty-year-old man. Little or no mention was made of the fact in the daily press that a colored woman was attacked, but that is another story. At any rate, Butler was arrested and charged with the crime. He PLEAD GUILTY (same as most colored men do when arrested and accused of rape in the South, knowing, possibly, that the same fate awaited
him, no matter what plea he made), and was brought to trial and convicted two weeks later and sentenced to die on the gallows February 26. Feeling was high at the time Butler was tried and it was necessary to call out the State militia to give him even the semblance of a trial. A bloodthirsty mob waited outside the court for the verdict of guilty. No other verdict would have sufficed.
BUTLER MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN GUILTY. He may have been and probably was demented. But for the action of the authorities and the militia he would have been lynched without even the fleeting trial he got—guilty or innocent. Days before he was brought to trial he had already been tried, convicted and condemned to death by the same bloodthirsty mob which awaited outside the courthouse for the Court to put its stamp of approval upon the proceedings of the mob; the same mob which lingered outside the prison while the man being put to death and whose appetite was not satisfied until the lifeless form of the accused man was seen dangling from the scaffold.
LYNCHING by law is no less a crime than lynching by the mob. Both attain the same end—injustice. Hitherto the mob has tried, convicted and put men to death without due process of law. In Butler's case he was tried by the mob and put to death by the law, proving conclusively that States are unable to cope with the menace of the mob. Denied victims at the point of the bayonet, the mob is still able to enforce its decrees by letting the State itself do the "dirty work"—the lynching.
Glaring Inequalities
PATROLMAN THOMAS P. O'HARA, white, indicted for first degree grand larceny, first degree assault and criminally receiving stolen property, has been permitted to plead guilty to assault in the second degree, and sentenced to from one year and seven months to four years in prison. At the time he was sentenced, Judge John F. McIntyre told him that he was a disgrace to the Police Department and should never have been on it, to which we give assent.
THE JUDGE'S UTTERANCES, though, are not borne out by the light sentence the policeman received. Why was he not placed on trial for the crimes alleged in the indictment? By what process should a prisoner be permitted to plead guilty to a crime far less serious than those for which he is indicted? If found guilty under his indictments, this felon, who will be back in New York City within a few months, should have been given a much longer prison sentence than he has received. Patrolman O'Hara, while in uniform, held up a man at the point of a revolver and took ten dollars from him. Like Patrolman Brennan, in Brooklyn, also white, who killed a man under similar circumstances, and who was tried and found guilty of first degree murder, O'Hara hid behind the fact that he was under the influence of liquor.
TRAPPED CRIMINALS should not be permitted to plead guilty to lesser crimes than those charged against them, even though they save the State an endless amount of trouble and expense. If the prosecutors haven't enough evidence in their possession to convict criminals of the crimes charged against them, it is far better to let a jury decide the degree of their guilt. This would tend to remove the glaring inequalities in the enforcement of the law, and make it more difficult to believe that judges and prosecuting authorities can be influenced in their decisions by political or other outside considerations.
Negro History Week to Be Celebrated Every Year in February
Negro History Week to Be Celebrated Every Year in February
Appeals for $20,000 Annually to Disseminate Whole Truth of Archievements of Race
A call to rally to the support of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History to inculcate a higher appreciation of the Negro's contribution to civilization and thereby to secure for him the recognition belonging to all men has been made.
This is the outgrowth of the celebration of Negro History Week. This movement met with a favorable response throughout the country. The Negroes seized upon the idea as a thing for which they had long been waiting, and a considerable number of the white race manifested similar interest.
Clubs, fraternities, schools, and churches made extensive preparation and carried out their programs with unusual success. The favorable comment by the leading white and Negro newspapers decidedly

DuBois Writes of Negroes in Schools
DuBois Writes of Negroes in Schools
"Negroes in College" is the title of an article by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in the March 3 issue of the Nation, in which the author seeks to throw some light on the trying periods colleges in general and several colleges for Negroes in particular are passing or have passed through in recent years.
"We may divide the institutions which educate Negroes into three classes," writes Dr. DuBois. "Those which are taught mainly by whites but attended only by Negro students; those which are taught by Negroes and are attended by Negroes; and the general educational institutions of the land. In all these there is today more or less ferment concerning policies and objects as far as Negroes are concerned. He then reviews the trouble at Fisk University in Washington. Howard University in Washington and Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. Of Fisk he writes:
tor of philosophy; T. W. Turner, a Cornell doctor of philosophy, and many others. Third, personal disrespect toward colored professors; calling one "a contemptible pupy," kicking another out of his office. Fourth, as the Howard Welfare League has written: "The spirit of education has departed from Howard. Welfare writing the institution today, the investigator discovers a system of espionage. This is operated to defend an administrative corps which have no fixed policy, is subject to frequent attacks by the instructors dis-
"Here was a Negro college where the students not only had no voice in their own government, but could not edit a college paper, could not have an athletic association, could not have a faculty organization without faculty participation. And when the students openly rebelled they were expelled and some of them put in jail. Since then Fisk University has cleaned house. The former president and most of the faculty have gone to rebuild the institution on bronder and better lines."
Reviewing the situation at Howard University, where a strenuous effort is being made to oust J. Stanley Durkee, the president, he writes:
"The trustees refused to dismiss him and bore testimony to our confidence in the burdens and purpose. The charges against Dr. Durkee as voiced by the General Alumni Association full under the following heads: First, almost total lack of social contact between the white president on the one hand and colored professors and colored students on the other. Second, the attempted dismisma or forbidden negotiation by leading colored professors, including Kelly Miller, the best-known Howard alumnus; Geo. William Cook, who has been with the institution fifty years; C. G. Woodson, a Harvard doc-
Expressed by Our Contemporaries
They had a very successful hanging in Delaware recently. Considering the time of year and the state of the roads, there was a good attendance. From dawn the ways leading to Georgetown were thronged with people converging on the jail yard, where after the private hanging they were to be admitted to view the dangling body. At one time it looked as if they would admit themselves by breaking down the jail gates, but for the most part as good order was observed as could be expected at so large a social function. Five or six thousand people viewed the corpse of the executed man, and afterward, their appetites sharpened by early rising and long rides from distant villages, ate up all the supplies of the village restaurant, compelling it to close.

Proving? Nothing that people will agree about. Believers in capital punishment, in Delaware at any rate, must hold that such gruesome proof that the wages of sin is death will have a deterrent effect upon beholders tempted to crime. Residents of more progressive states may cry out upon the horror of admitting a throng of people, including children of impressionable age, to such a spectacle. And moralists who cry woe to a swift-paced generation will continue to wonder why movie and theatre audiences demand and reward the sensational portrayal of passion, crime and punishment.
This is the outgrowth of the celebration of Negro History Week. This movement met with a favorable response throughout the country. The Negroes seized upon the idea as a thing for which they had long been waiting, and a considerable number of the white race manifested similar interest. Clubs, fraternities, schools, and churches made extensive preparation and carried out their programs with unusual success. The favorable comment by the leading white and Negro newspapers decidedly stimulated the movement and presented the cause to the public as it has never been before.
Three definite needs of the Negro group were strikingly brought out during this celebration. Social workers and educators are almost unanimous in urging the following: first, that there should be prepared a series of historical stories and textbooks depicting the civilization of the Negro in Africa and the influence of the Negro in the history of this country; second, that boards of education should be induced to adopt certain of these books as optional texts and supplementary works in the public schools; and third, that schools and libraries throughout the country should be provided with an adequate number of reference books presenting the various aspects of Negro life and history.
To carry out such a program requires money. The association has already spent thousands of dollars promoting the celebration of Negro History Week, and it has not charged one penny for any of the services rendered. The association has felt that the first thing to do is to get the people of the country interested. When once interested they will support the thing in which they believe. To a greater extent than over before this very thing has been done.
To carry out this program and make this celebration in the future what it ought to be by giving the work sufficient stimulus throughout the year, however, the association must have an additional $20,000.
The present income of the association is decidedly small. It receives between $15,000 and $29,000 a year and it does the work of a learned society spending $45,000 or $50,000. What it has done has been accomplished by virtue of the fact that the seven persons whom it has employed in the prosecution of this work have been overworked and underpaid. The director has hardly been paid at all. For the first five years he practically financed the movement himself, and during recent years he has sometimes found it necessary to contribute to the work what it is supposed to pay him.
To finance this movement the association needs $20,000. This has been apportioned according to the Negro population and general interest so far expressed in the work of the association. Each State is asked to contribute the amounts indicated below: Alabama, $600; Arkansas, $500; California, $400; Colorado, $200; Connecticut, $500;

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Church Needs Young Blood
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News;
To the University of the Arkansas News.
Sir: Perhaps this article will not please a great many of our young readers, but I just want to make known my feelings toward a wonderful institution.
Sir: Perhaps this article will not please a great many of our young readers, but I just want to make known my feelings toward a wonderful institution.
I am referring to the church and its value in the community. Many of our young men and women do not realize the importance of being connected with such an institution. I can honestly say that I do not regret being a member of one of the finest churches in Harlem; not because of its structure, but because of its importance in my daily life.
One of the first things the early settlers in North America did was to erect their meeting-house or church in their settlements. In many of the undeveloped sections of towns there is usually a desirable corner plot set aside for the town church. Therefore proving that the church has always filled a definite need in the community.
Wouldn't it be a splendid move if more of our advanced students were active in the church. In many of the colleges out of town, church attendance is required. It is a common thing to hear many of our young people criticize the church, but no one has the right to do so if he takes no active part in such an institution.
The church's function in the community today is to build up a physical, intellectual, economic, social and virile leadership.

West Virginians Solving "Problem'
WASHINGTON.—In commenting on the progress made during recent years by members of our racial group who live in the State of West Virginia, the McDowell Times, published at Keystone by M. T. Whittico and T. Edward Hill, says, under the caption, "A Hopeful Sign": "During the past ten years Negroes of West Virginia have made greater progress in the promotion of business enterprises of their own than in all their previous history in this State.
"This is evidenced by the growth and expansion of C. H. James & Son, wholesale produce dealers, Charleston; the two building and loan associations at Charleston and Beckloy; the Mutual Savings & Loan Company, Charleston; the Ferguson enterprises, Charleston; the Eagle Coal Company and the Peerless enterprises, owned by Matthew Buster at Montgomery; Capehart's large furniture business, hotel, and other activities at Welch; George's hotel and allied interests at Northfork; Kimball Undertaking Company at Kimball and Welch; Donally General Merchandise at Crumpler; Pioneer Reality and Armstead Undertaking Companies at Beckley; hospitals at Charleston and Clarksburg; drug stores at Clarksburg, Wheeling, Williamson, and Beckley; real estate investments; and the growth of the York Rite Masons, Odd Follows, Pythians, et al, and on-
tor of philosophy; T. W. Turner, a Cornell doctor of philosophy, and many others. Third, personal disrespect toward colored professors; calling one "a contemptible puppy," kicking another out of his office. Fourth, as the Howard Welfaro League has written: "The spirit of education has departed from Howard. Visiting the institution today, the investigator discovers a system of espionage. This is operated to defuse an administrative corp. which, having unpaid policy, is subject to frequent attacks by the instructors disposed to preserve the traditions of education." He also turns the searchlight on Lincoln University, which "has never had a colored professor and never had a colored member on its board of trustees."
The problems in Atlanta University, Hampton Institute, which is now doing some college work; Wilberforce University, "dominated by the white-college tradition," the leading white colleges are also dissected.
THE CALL OF LIBERIA
WASHINGTON.—The Liberian concession of the Firestone Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, is attracting many of our most efficient young men. Among those who have accepted supervisory positions in connection with the development of rubber growing in West Africa is Mr. Charles E. Lune, who for several years has successfully managed the large and beautiful Lincoln theatre in this city. Mr. Lane sailed last Sunday from New York to visit factories in Belgium, where he is expected to spend two months. From there he is expected to visit South African rubber plantations on a tour of inspection before taking up his duties in Liberia.

The Blood
THE most remarkable tissue of the body is the blood. It consists of cellular elements held in pace by the fluid, called plasma. The blood penetrates to every part of the body, carrying in its cells the oxygen inhaled from the air and the necessary food elements taken in our daily diet, and in return brings the waste and harmful products to the excretory organs, which are the bowels, kidneys and skin. In this way waste and harmful products are removed from the body, and oxygen, iron and other organic chemicals are deposited into the tissues of the body for their life and nourishment.
terprises throughout the State, representing the investment of more than two million dollars of Negroes' money." Thus the blood is liable to injury and deterioration. The air we breathe if vitiated by harmful gas, affects and injures the cells of the blood.
Know New York State
The State of New York is made up of sixty-two counties and contains six cities having more than 100,000 inhabitants each. There are ten Indian reservations in the State, upon which five about 4,600 Indians, more than half of them being Senecas. The largest reservation is in Cattaraugus County and covers fifty square miles. New York State leads the country in the number of its apple and pear trees and in the number of domestic animals on its farms.
There are in the State about 8,000 miles of railroad track; about 16,000 miles of gas mains, and 40,000 miles of high-power transmission lines. The capital invested in the gas and electric companies of the State is estimated at one and one-third billion of dollars, or more than $100 for each family. Warren County, New York, is the country's greatest source of garnets, and produces about 8,000 tons a year. Of this total 95 per cent is used in the manufacture of abrasive cloth and paper. The Adirondack Mountains, in northern New York, are said by geologists to have been the first land that emerged from the ocean in the formation of the Western Hemisphere.

Let the "Kold Bleases" blow their blighted trumpets.
Till their wordy hashish reacts and maims their sonis:
Leave the hypocrisy that Dixie is safe for.
Come by the hundreds! Come to the lure:
Let Dixie die! Let the fife and drum play over her.
Until broad tolerance resurrect her soul;
And the "Kold" Bleases' opiated conscience.
Dazed by defent since you didn't yield the toll.
Founder 'neath the billows of a mighty sea of justice.
Filled with strength, and hope for the now oppressed ones.
Let Dixie crumble! Let Dixie cry! Let her show broad tolerance, or
Thus the blood is liable to injury and deterioration. The air we breathe if vitiated by harmful gas, affects, and injures the cells of the blood. Injurious substances may be absorbed through the pores of the skin; the food and fluid we take, if unsuited for normal physiological and chemical action, can bring about abnormal changes in the cells of the blood. If the blood is impaired then all the organs of the body suffer, bringing on disease and death. The chief constituent of the blood as far as general health go is the red blood cells or corpuscles.
This is a small cell—thirty-two hundreds of an inch in diameter; made up of a thin membrane, surrounding a protein material, called globulin; this globulin carries the iron—containing pigment, called hemoglobin, in which the life giving oxygen which is inhaled is stored. The number of these red blood cells is enormous—something like 5,000,000 to each cubic millimeter of blood; in this way the tissues get a large amount of life giving oxygen. It is important then that these red blood cells keep healthy and are not destroyed. Most illness we all know now to be due to germs or bacteria. This is called an infection.
This infection may be acute or chronic. Acute if it is a recent infection, and chronic if it is of long and continued standing. These germs produce a toxin, which enters into the circulating blood and lymph vessels. Certain toxins destroy the red cells of the blood, while other toxins depress the bone-marrow function, where the red cells are formed; the end result is a decrease in the number of red blood cells circulating in the blood stream. When this occurs, the hemoglobin is also reduced, with a consequent reduction of oxygen in the blood; in this way anemia results.
