THE MONK Boy's Death Costs White Man $600 Boy's Death Costs White Man $600 Merchant Convicted of Manslaughter — Shot Youth Without Cause NORFOLK, Va., April 12. Israel Banks, a white merchant, was fined $600 last week for "involuntary manslaughter" in connection with the death of a little boy shot to death in his store, according to a report from Norfolk Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. David H. Edwards, president of the Norfolk N.A.A.C.P.; W. L. Davis, chairman of the branch's legal committee, and J. Thomas Newsome, Newport News, assisted the commonwealth's prosecutor in conducting the case against the white merchant. Banks, the convicted merchant, testified that the shooting was accidental, that he broke open a revolver he kept in his store and a bullet in the chamber accidentally exploded, killing the young boy. Detectives testified, however, that the height of the counter was such that the boy could not have been accidentally shot from behind it unless the revolver had been held at the height of a man's shoulder. Reports sent by Mr. Edwards indicate that the occasion of the killing was a dispute over pay for work the youth had done. The boy, it was testified, had carried in a load of wood for Banks. Having completed his job, the boy asked for his pay and was offered 5 cents. "That is not what you promised," he is reported to have said, whereupon the merchant is alleged to have reached under his counter and shot the 15-year-old child through the head. Mr. Edwards states it as of his personal knowledge that this is the third murder of a child under 13 years of age by white men in Norfolk within the past ten months. Two Pullman Porters Hurt in Train Wreck Two Phillman porters were severely injured Thursday afternoon when the fast New York-Atlantic City express, "The Nellie Bly," of the Pennsylvania Railroad ran into an open switch at Delair, N. J. a few miles north of Camden, and was wrecked. Three white persons were killed and 12 seriously injured. The injured porters were identified as John Kastler, Atlantic City, and Charles Richardson, Pennmouth, Va. Tracy were removed to the Cooper Hospital. Girl Admits Stealing Jewelry for Easter Display Idela Cordett, 17, maid, 2162 Madison avenue, was held in $3,000 ball for a further hearing when arraigned last week before Magistrate McQuade, in Harlem Court, charged with the alleged theft of a diamond ring and a vanity case valued at $1,090, from the home of Miss Margaret Wallace, white, 961 Madison avenue, where she was employed. TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes TRAPPED IN APARTMENT WITH FRIEND BY OFFICERS GARVEY HIRED TRAPPED IN APARTMENT WITH FRIEND BY OFFICERS GARVEY HIRED Companion Was Keeping Vigil While She Was Ill, Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey Claims What probably will be the most unusual and complicated divorce proceeding is expected to develop as a result of Marcus Garvey's first wife being trapped with a companion in her apartment early Friday morning. About 3:30 A. M. Friday, detectives of Boulln's National Detective Agency, hired by Kohn and Nagel, who are counselors for Garvey, entered the apartment occupied by Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey, 666 St. Nicholas avenue, and found a man who gave his name as Joseph Frazier, 37 W. 183th street, asleep with her, it is alleged. Over fifteen spectators accompanied the officers into the premises. Seemingly frightened and shocked, Mrs. Ashwood Garvey attempted to leave the apartment, but was blocked by the detectives, it is alleged. According to the officers, Frazier said that he had contemplated asking Garvey's first spouse to marry him. Indignant over the raid. Mrs. Garvey declared to a representative from The Amsterdam News that she was not responsible to Garvey or anyone else morally, but legally she was obligated to the self-styled King of Africa. She said that the raid was a mere scheme of followers of the im- (Continued on Page 2) Lure for Finery Lands Girl in Jail The lure of Spring flory brought Mrs. Edith Jones, 22, 73 West 133rd street, into Harlem Court charged with grand larceny. She was held by Magistrate Francis X. McQuade in $2,500 ball for hearing. She was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Josephino Gallo, white, 122 East 116th street. Mrs. Gallo charged that the woman had been engaged to clean her apartment Saturday and that after she had left she found two diamond rings valued at $500 missing. The police recovered the rings. Mrs. Jones said she was separated from her husband and wanted to buy some Easter clothes. Man Accused of Breaking Into Apartment Held in Bail John Wesley, 42, 310 West 134th street, was held in $5,000 ball on a charge of burglary by Magistrate Douras in the Washington Heights Court Wednesday. George Smith, 30, 310 West 134th street, said he saw Wesley come out of his apartment as he was coming up the stairs, and called Policeman Byrnes, of the West 135th street station, who arrested Wesley. On returning to his apartment on the fourth floor, Smith discovered two overcoats had been taken from his trunk and made the charge of burglary against Wesley, who could not explain his presence in the Smith apartment. Man Convicted for Steal ing Jewelry Valued at $10,000 WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., April 12.—Fingerprints found on a ground floor door of the home of Mrs. Mary Myers, white, in Scarsdale, N. Y., last November, led to the arrest of Ernest Robinson, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., and to his conviction here Friday on a charge of burglary. A jury before County Judge William F. Bleakley found Robinson guilty after the door on which the fingerprints were found had been introduced into evidence. Robinson, arrested several weeks after it was charged, he had stolen $10,000 worth of jewelry from the Myers home, was identified by the police through the fingerprints left on the door. Four jurors had their fingerprints taken in court and then went out of the courtroom with the door. One of them put his fingerprint on the varnished board, which then was taken back into the trial room. County Fingerprint Expert Hill took less than a minute to pick out the right fingerprint. It was testified the jewelry was recovered by the police in Robinson's quarters, but he claimed ignorance of its presence there. SPECIAL POLICE POST TAKEN FROM BROWNE'S RESIDENCE SPECIAL POLICE POST TAKEN FROM BROWNE'S RESIDENCE Letter Carrier Denies Forming Private Guard to Protect His Property Special police detail has been removed from the premises of Samuel Browne, letter carrier, 67 Fairview avenue, Staten Island, on the recommendation of the deputy inspector of police. This order took effect Saturday, according to Browne over the telephone late Monday night. Neither has he protested or formed a private guard as reported, Mr. Browne said. He has no intentions of breaking the law, he explained, and although he feels that there might be some danger because of the hatred his white neighbors have for him, if being lawless means protecting his property, the letter carrier stated, he would become so if he caught anyone trespassing upon his premises. Policemen, in two shifts, began their vigil on Browne's stoop July 18, after a group of white men one night, presumably to drive Browne and his family from Castleton where only whites live, bombarded his house with rocks and uprooted his garden and trees. Musco Robertson, a wealthy realtor of Staten Island and former owner of the site of Castleton, was indicted last October, together with five others named as "John Does," for conspiracy to drive Browne from his abode. Under $1,000 bail, he has not been brought to trial. Browne, whose wife, Catherine, is a Columbia University graduate and teacher in a school attended by white children on Staten Island, bought his home for $8,500 late in 1923. The following spring a group of citizens offered to buy the property and Browne refused, despite the fact that his fire insurance had been canceled. He felt that a principle was involved and determined to stay. He now has a civil suit for $100,000 damages pending against Robertson and five others. PRISONER TO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR MAY George Bud Williams, convicted of the murder of a white watchman while he and three others were robbing a loft at 38th street and Eighth avenue, was sentenced by General Seasons Judge Allen Thursday to die in the electric chair May 17. Williams was held to have killed William P. Young, the watchman, with a chisel when he found him in the building. Judge Allen characterized the crime as a "cowardly, wanton murder." Elevator Man Crushed to Death Lloyd Gordon, 31 years old, 2553 Eighth avenue, was crushed to death Sunday night when he was dragged between the elevator cage and the elevator shaft from the second to the sixth floor of the apartment house at 513 West 111th street, in which he was employed. He had stopped the elevator at the second floor to do an errand. Returning, he apparently reached inside the cage and pulled the controller handle intending to jump in. The elevator, however, shot up swiftly before he had an opportunity to jump back. Man Stumbles Over Overcoat, Fractures Skull (Preston News Service.) NEW ORLEANS, La., April 12.—A late Spring and an overcoat are responsible for the fall of William O'Connor, 64 years old. O'Connor has been an employee at the Trianon Theatre, in Canal street, for many years. He started for home and dinner Monday in a hurry. He was hungry. The patrons of the darkened show were started from their seats by a resounding crash on the stairs in the rear. They craned necks and moved from their seats. Police explained that O'Connor tripped on an overcoat he was carrying and fell headlong down the stairs. He was treated at Charity Hospital for a probable fracture of the skull. Insane Man Seized Near Custom House Greystone Insane Asylum Inmate Escaped, Wandered About Lower East Side Ellison Dixon, 34, 300 West 139th street, who escaped last week from the Greystone Insane Asylum at Morristown, N. J., was found Saturday night by Policeman Reilly, of the Old Slip station, as he was wandering and muttering to himself along the Battery near the Custom House. Dixon had been under the policeman's observation for some time. His actions seemed suspicious and the policeman finally questioned him. Reilly took him to the psychopathic warl at Bellevue. It was discovered that the institution had sent out an alarm for Dixon. He will be detained at Bellevue until the authorities from the Jersey hospital call for him. Man's Attempt to Kiss Girl Costs $10 in Court For attempting to kiss a girl in a taxicab when she did not want to be kissed, William Taylor, 27, 71 W, 141st street, was surrendered $10 by Magistrate Dourns in Washington Heights Court Thursday. Evelyn Armstead, 26, 446 W, 163d street, said she got into a taxicab with Taylor after a dance and at 139th street and Lenox avenue Taylor insisted on kissing her. She called Policeman Graham, of the W, 155th street station, who arrested Taylor on a charge of disorderly conduct. ALLEGED BURGLAR SHOT IN LEG BY ROOKIE PATROLMAN Two Men Caught After Chase — Attempted to Break Into Jewelry Store Captured after a roof chase in which several shots were fired, two men were arrested and charged with having attempted to burglarize the jewelry store of L. S. Gonzalez & Co., at 429 Lenox avenue, Friday night. One of the prisoners was shot in the right leg and the other was battered about the head. Patrolman James Nolan, a rookie officer, of the West 135th street station, saw somebody moving in the rear of the jewelry store as he tried the lock about 5:30 o'clock in morning. He shook the door and found it locked. He dodged into an adjoining hallway where a rear window was open. As he watched, two Neooes went through the window abruptly. They fed up the stairs, dropping as they ran a bag said to have contained $2,000 worth of silverware. Nolan raced after them, firing as he ran. The men fled to the roof and Nolan fired another shot or two. But the men kept on running and jumped through a skylight in an adjoining building. Nolan caught up with them. One, who later said he was Louis Genenco, 29 years old, of 34 West 185th street, showed fight and the patrolman swung his night stick. The fight evaporated. The other, describing himself as Titus Thompson, 34, of 9 West 129th street, was found to have a shot wound in the right leg. They were taken to the Harlem Hospital and treated and then to the station house, where they were booked. JULIAN WITH 125TH STREET SHOE STORE Lleut.

Clown Acrobat Falls to Floor Tragic Accident at Elks Indoor Circus The 300th Regiment Armory was the scene of a tragedy Thursday night. Elmer Perdue, of Salisbury, Mass., a clown acrobat of the Sills Brothers' Circus, perched on a trapeze thirty feet above the floor, lost his balance and fell to the floor. For five minutes Perdue lay there, bruised and suffering while spectators laughed heartily at what they thought was a part of the performance. When they realized that he was hurt, their laughter turned to horror. He was removed to the Harlem Hospital suffering from fractures of the skull ad right shoulder. The circus was being given as a benefit by the Imperial Elks' Lodge. Sidewalk Entertainers Land in Court; Later Released Elbowing his way through a large crowd at Avenue A and Third street, Patrolman Frederick Bertunani of the East Fifth Street Station found a man doing the Charleston to a banjo accompaniment. Arrested for disorderly conduct, both impromptu entertainers were found guilty when arraigned before Magistrate Louis B. Brodsky and given suspended sentences.

Young White Ruffians Held for Attacking Aged Negroes (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 12.—Three men arrested in connection with an attack on two Negroes at Forbes and Halket streets early Thursday were held for further hearing in Oakland Police Court Thursday on suspicious persons charges. They are Michael Malloy, aged 26; Charles O'Hara, 28, and John Ridge, 24. Thep are accused of beating Adam Terrell, 58, and Samuel Minto, 70. Police say the victims identified the suspects. TENANT HOUSES UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION (Preston News Service.) CINCINNATI, O., April 12.—The city's clean-up campaign against unsanitary and defective housing conditions took a drastic turn Wednesday. Charles Sagmelster, Chief Housing Inspector, condemned 14 buildings and ordered their tenants to vacate. Nine of the condemned buildings are on Wobb street. To await the outcome of his wife's condition, Gandolfo is being held without bail for trial. Edward Williams, 11, a student of City College, who has lived with the family since he was 9 years old, is recovering from a flesh wound in the hip that was inflicted by a bullet fired also by the drunken man when the youth objected to him coming into the apartment. HABITUAL DRUNKARD. The couple had been separated since last January. Because of his bad habits, the young woman's mother, Mrs. Jennie Thomas, insisted upon him leaving her home where he had lived with his wife for nearly three years. Mrs. Thomas stated that he was a habitual drunkard and desperate character, abusing his charming little wife continually. When Gandolfo was arrested, two large knives were found in his possession. On investigating the prisoner's room an ice pick was found under his pillow. Following the separation of the couple the man had lived in the same building. When he left his wife's home he informed her that he was coming back some day and wipe out the whole family. Time elapsed, and Friday Gandolfo came back to make good his threat. WILLIAMS OPENED DOOR. Responding to a knock, Williams opened the door to the Thomas apartment. Seeing that it was Gandolfo, the youth reminded him that he was not wanted in the apartment by his mother-in-law. By the time Williams had finished saying, "You know that Miss Jonnilou doesn't want you to come in here, Billy," the madman whipped out a revolver and fired directly at him. The bullet grazing the youth's hip, lodged in the sideboard which was back of the first victim. Gandolfo then rushed into the kitchen where his wife was. Without making any inquiries or comments he opened fire, the bullets taking effect in her left breast above the heart. SHOOTS HIS WIFE. Williams, bleeding and staggering from his wound, knocked the weapon from the assailant's hand, and a bitter struggle between the two ensued, the youth getting the better of the fight. "Sweet little Marjory," as she is called by the majority of the persons that know her, ran to the street. A large crowd quickly gathered about the premises. About this time her mother, who had the couple's 9 months' old boy, came upon the scene. All that Mrs. Thomas could see, she said, were two big sparkling eyes and a dress soaked in blood as the police placed Marjory in a taxicab and rushed her to the hospital. Holding the man until Patrolmen Oriana and Pease of the 135th Oriana and Pease of the 135th street man arrived, Williams was then removed to the hospital (Continued on Page 2) DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS, Etc.

TWO MINISTER ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLING CONCERN'S FINANCES Rev. Jefferson Davis to Be Extradited to Newark It Is Alleged He Stole Over $2,395 Charged with swindling a number of people out of huge sums of money with a "wild cat scheme," the Rev. Jefferson A. Davis, Newark, is being held in the Tombs jail here until extradition papers from Jersey are received by the authorities. The minister, it is alleged, has used his occupation to disguse his illegal dealings. According to the police, complaints of embezzlement, totaling $2,395, have been drawn against Davis. The plaintiffs that will appear against Davis are Robert W. Bennett, Pliney Goldsmith, Mrs. Emma Campbell, William B. Lockett and S. B. Brown. The complaint lodged against Davis, according to the authorities, dates back last August to October during which time he was general manager of the Investment Home Building Association, located in a Washington street building, Newark. DOBBINS COAL CO. INC. Madison Ave. & 138th St. 4457—Harlem—4458 Henderson People Left Large Estate HENDERSON, N. C., April 12.—A large estate belonging to Melissa Townes, of this city, who died about a year ago, and amounting to $31,916.42, was brought to light in an action of the City Council at its regular meeting last Monday night, in which steps were taken to list and collect taxes upon the unlisted property of the dead woman for the years 1921 to 1925, both inclusive. Tax officials of Vance County are also moving to levy upon the property, most of which never was upon the tax books. It was estimated at the meeting last Monday night that the city would realize approximately $1,500 out of the collections and the county will get more than that if it presses its case. Liquor Crazed Man Shoots Wife (Continued from Page 1) where he was treated. The officers failed to locate the exact spot in the kitchen where the bullet finally lodged. In telling of her son-in-law, Mrs. Thomas declared that he would not work during the time that he stayed in her apartment. "It was his contention that no job was good enough for him," she said. "Last September Gandolfo attempted to kill his baby boy. That led his wife to fear him." continued Mrs. Thomas. Becoming alarmed because of her daughter's fear, she explained that she asked Gandolfo to leave her premises. GANDOLFO RETURNED Several months later her son-in-law came to her while she was sick in bed and pleaded with her to let him come back and live with his family. After consulting her daughter, who did not want to ever live with him again, Mrs. Thomas stated that she refused him. In some manner unknown to her, he later came back to live with them. Going back to his former habits, Gandolfo again raved and rebelked his wife. As Mrs. Thomas put it, "He broke his promise to God and to me, he would not do the right thing." She then insisted that he leave the premises for good. Upon leaving the man made his threat. In contrast to the character of her husband, Mrs. Gandolfo is said to be one of the most admirable and bikable young women among the younger set.

Being indisposed for several days, and all alone, she said, her friend insisted upon spending the night with her. Around 5:30 A. M. she was awakened by the detectives and about fifteen witnesses who had gained their entrance into the apartment. The detectives, she stated, tore off her night attire and held her a captive with the young man in her bedroom. Embarrassed and humiliated by the crowd, Mrs. Garvey stated that she was forced to answer certain questions. DIVORCE PENDING. Although Mrs. Garvey has a divorce proceeding pending in the Supreme Court, and at the same time contesting the decree awarded to Gravey, she questioned the authority of the detectives entering her premises. She said that she occupied the apartment with her brother and a cousin. Since her separation from Garvey, six years ago, she informed reporter, she had spent four and one-half years in Europe, devoting her time chiefly to the writing of a book that will reveal the real life of Marcus Garvey. Mrs. Garvey was in bed at the time of the interview. As she condemned the American's conception of moral turpitude, she sobbed softly. In turning to her married life her expression was transformed into blitterness. A telephone call broke her dynamic attack on Garvey and his second wife. After knowing Garvey for about seven years, she was married to him, she said. Within the next two years her husband deserted her for his second wife. She then went to Europe. While she was abroad, Mrs. Garvey claims, her husband secured a divorce from her and married now the second Mrs. Garvey.

Republican Leader Selected for Jury NEWARK, April 12.—For the first time in 20 years a Negro has been drawn for the Grand Jury in Essex County. Former Assemblyman Dr. Walter G. Alexander, of Orange, has been selected. No Negro has served on the Grand Jury of this county since Frank H. Sommer, who was a leader of the "new idea wing" of the Republican Party, was sheriff. Dr. Alexander has been fighting for Negro representation on the Grand Jury for several years, and had announced that he would make this one of the issues in the coming primary campaign when a new sheriff is to be nominated.

The Negro leaders of the Republican party are now in the saddle, with the "Lily Whites" on the outside looking in, following a stormy session last week, in which a court injunction, two county policemen, five court bailiffs and much scorching oratory played prominent parts. The faction led by Ben J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, is now in control of the Georgia Republican organization, and is composed for the most part of those who have thus far been left out in the cold in the matter of Federal offices and patronage. They celebrated their triumph by denouncing practically everybody except President Coolidge. The victors began preparations to put out a State ticket at next Fall's elections by adopting resolutions condemning the State Democratic administration, stressing charges of wastefulness and extravagance. The white contingent are explaining that they walked out of the meeting in good order as a protest against what they call the "steam roller and illegal methods of organization." The dark element, however, insinuate that the retreat was not so orderly. Prominent Educators at Bethune College DAYTONA, Fla.- April 12.—President J. R. E. Lee of the Florida A. and M.

SYRUP MENTHOGEN WITH CREOSOTE is a mighty good cough remedy, and it is now being widely and effectively used by the medical profession because—(1) it is a ONE-DRUG cough remedy, not a "shotgun" mixture; (2) it does not constipate or upset the stomach; (3) it does not contain any narcotic, so that it may be given safely even to the youngest children; (4) it is highly palatable; and (5) it appeals strongly to the profession because it does not disguise the condition by simply alleviating the symptoms (like so many cough remedies), but actually exerts a beneficial effect upon the respiratory tract and definitely aids in subduing the cough.

M., at 200 West 135th street. Dr. Hubert S. Harrison, staff lecturer of the Board of Education, will deliver a lecture on the challenging subject, "Is the White Race Doomed?" This address was given before the Sunrise Club, a body of extremely critical thinkers, where it provoked much spirited discussion. The exact world status of the races will be set forth, together with a revealing analysis of the process by which the white race has achieved ascendency. The nature of this process is such as to set in motion the forces which now threaten and will inevitably destroy white supremacy. The imperialist rulers are their own grave diggers. A very thorough and illuminating summary of this momentous world problem is assured and the question and discussion periods will be particularly interesting and lively. The motto of this forum in this respect is: "Law on Machiavellism be holy, wise, or dead. Hold, enough!" The virile thinkers of both races will be there in the intellectual arena to do battle for ideas and ideals. On Sunday, April 25, 1926, M. J. Olgin, author of "The Soul of the Russian Revolution," will address the forum on "Race Relations in Russia and the United States."

Holcomb well known as the leader of the forum, which, during 1918 to 1933, played so important a role in awakening and stimulating the intellectual renalissance in Harlem, the Mecca of the New Negro, is ably represented by the former co-workers and by the program thinkers of the community.

Dina, Arthur Wharton, Peter B. Codingrion, Hubert H. Harrison, and Otto E Hulawood. Every effort is being made to reestablish an institution which will disseminate light, truth and knowledge, and the support of the public free from the freedom free, thought free, speech free—eventually, mankind free.

When 51 hooded and gowned Knights of the Ku Klux Klan filed into the People's Missionary Baptist Church here Sunday a panic occurred among the people who made up the congregation, it was learned Monday, when members of the congregation held an indignation meeting against the klan and against their pastor for being on friendly terms with the knights. When the Klansmen appeared on Sunday men and women ducked under seats, fled to their homes and barricaded their doors and windows. In the midst of the disturbance the pastor, the Rev. J. E. Zellers, raised his hands and bade those who still remained in the church to be calm. He asked that the spokesman for the knights come forward and explain. The leader stepped up to the altar and handed the Negro minister $21.45, saying the klansmon wished to aid the church.

Minister Before his departure for Haiti recently, Percival Thoby, former Charge d'Affaires of the Haitian Legation in Washington and now representative of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, requested that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issue for him a public denial of the report that Haitian citizens would oppose the appointment of a colored man as J. S. Minister to Haiti. "The statement has been made and spread that Haitians would not welcome a colored man as representative of the United States in Haiti," said Mr. Thoby. "This is, of course, absurd. There have been several colored Ministers from the United States to Haiti and they have been received with utmost cordiality. Moreover, when American colored people have migrated to Haiti they have found the consideration and the courtesy which was their due, and they and their descendants are among the most respected citizens of the country. Haiti would be glad to welcome, as she has done in the past, a colored U. S. Minister." Negro Homes Burned in Tampa, Florida The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has received reports of the burning of Negro homes in Western Tampa, unidentified men having posted warnings that Negroes were not desired as residents of the community.

Five men, arrested in connection with the fires, were discharged in the Municipal Court. "Negroes are not desired here," say huge signs printed in red letters on signboards, and "Negroes should investigate before buying here."

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1926 Big Scholarship Fund Drive Is Launched by Prominent Women Big Scholarship Fund Drive Is Launched by Prominent Women In the nation-wide movement among Negroes for the establishment of scholarship funds to assist worthy young men and women in obtaining an education the National Association of Colored Women has formulated and put into operation an ambitious and comprehensive program. It is conducting a drive to raise $50,000 within the race. Every State is co-operating. In New York State the drive is under the leadership of Mrs. Addie Hunton, Mrs. Frances Kevser and Miss Layle Lane, chairman. WOMEN SET HIGH MARK. Scholarship funds also are being formed by Negro churches, secret societies, Greek letter fraternities, and "Red Caps." The respective amounts involve, however, are much less than the women of the race have set out to collect. A concerted effort is being made to reach the goal set by July 31, when the Association convenes in biennial convention at Oakland. are investing their own money in the education of their children. They know the Negro is acquiring wealth. They know he has strong social, religious and fraternal organizations. They know he has comforts and sometimes luxuries in his home. They know that in the early history of this country—in the days of lean things—the Miss Halle Q. Brown, chairman of the National Scholarship Fund of Wilberforce, O., says "it is the hope of the National Association of Colored Women to build enduring monuments by helping educate girls and secure for them a wider field of usefulness, a higher standard of life and an inspiration to coming generations. "The great need of such a fund is obvious," says Miss Juliette Derricotte. Student Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, "we have only to think of the girls our own experience might have gone on but for the lack of funds. We have only to think of those girls who make a brave start and have to drop out." MRS. BETHUNE MAKES STRONG APPEAL. In her appeal to Negroes in the interest of the scholarship fund, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona, Fla., President of the National Association of Colored Women, head of the Daytona-Cookman College Institute, and regarded by many as the man of the race in America, says: "The world-wide awakening to the vital importance of education for all of the people since the great war has not been confined to any nation or race. Education is the commodity in greatest demand from pole to pole. Men of means and security, confident of the enduring value of the returns upon their investment. "One of the brightest spots in the history of the Negro in this country, one of the most assuring evidences of the possibility of interracial cooperation is the extent to which white people, both north and south, have contributed to Negro education. With the exception of a few of our dear institutional Negro institutions of learning stands as a monument of the generosity of white people. Their gifts, though not spread over as large areas as formerly, are increasing rather than decreasing. "They are constantly inquiring.

They know he has comforts and sometimes luxuries in his home. They know that in the early history of this country—in the days of lean things—they had to give of their little to establish the great schools which are to day the glory of the nation. They believe that the Negro can and should do more to build and support his own institutions. “In the face of this incontrovertible fact it is incumbent upon us to go to the California meeting prepared to pay in the full $50,000. Women have ever been the greatest assets, spiritual and otherwise, to our educational system. Let us live up to our precious tradition of service in this fundamental human field.” Let us say to the world that Negroes are alive to their responsibility to their children in matters of education, and that organized black womanhood can successfully bear their part of the burden which belongs to every freeman to prepare the children of to-day for the citizenship of tomorrow.

Quoting from the Negro Year Book that in 1924 there were in the sixteen former slave States and in the District of Columbia 3,414. teachers in school and of these 2,149,548 or 68.4 per cent were enrolled in school, and that the number of Negro public school teachers in these States was 42,151, the Association says: "Where are the 992,221 Negro children in these States who ought to be in school? Why are they not in school? What are they doing? Mat are the club women of these States who do save nearly a million Negro children from ignorance and its usual sequence of vice, disease and death?" It is estimated that 42.015 Negro teachers are required to teach 3,419,869 children, an average of nearly seventy-five to each teacher. The Association points out that in South Carolina the investment in public school property for colored is $5 per capita, for white $60; in Mississippi, $6 for colored, $32 for whiter-Georilla, $7 for colored, $74 for white, and in the other southern states. With the exception of North Carolina, the ratio is about the same. DOCTOR DEAD TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 12 The body of Dr. George H.

Chances for Colored Picture Operators Bright Al Spengler Tells Us of Clarence Redd's Work in "Kongo" Al Spengler Tells Us of Clarence Redd's Work in "Kongo" And Thinks That Redd Stands on Equal Terms With Gilpin, Robeson, Et Al By AL SPENGLER CLARENCE REDD, perhaps one of the most versatile actors on the stage today, has created a sensation by his delineation of "Furzy", which is one of the leading roles in "Kongo," the play of Africa which is holding forth at the Biltmore Theatre. Mr. Redd's realistic interpretation of the role of "Furzy" brought gales of laughter and applause from the opening night audience. No less a personage than Brook Pemberton congratulated Redd on his remarkable performance. It was a noble well earned and Pemberton meant it from the bottom of his heart. Mr. Redd is a most versatile person and has a long list of successful characterizations to his credit, among them being such roles as the better in "Aphrodite," a part in "Savage" and the role of the Moor-skling in the "Miracle." The latter was by far the finest thing he has ever done. Besides acting, Mr. Redd is an accomplished artist, singer, designer, painter and what not. He was born with an artistic soul which matured with the years till today he could make a living at any one of the aforementioned arts. In the "Miracle" he did all of the craft work designed all of the scenery used in the Oriental scene and designed all the costumes used in this scene. Not satisfied with all this. Reid has secured the commission of paint in the scenery for the Red and God number of the Junior League Show. Besides this he poses for the studios and every now and then acts in a cinema production. He started on his career 15 years ago when Bert Williams brought him from Fort Scott, Kans., where he was born, and gave him a part in his Smart Set show. This proved to be the stepping stone to the career which Redd built up for himself by hard work. He went through some of the hardest knocks of the game and several times was stranded with companies which flopped. Undeterred, however, Redd kept right on and today he has finally fought his way to the top and his work stands on a pair with that of such artists as Charles Gilpin and Paul Robeson. Redd has a beautiful voice, which leads itself readily to the singing of the ever-popular spirituals. Some day he hopes to make his debut on the concert platform. He sings these spirituals over the radio and has built up quite a following among radio audiences. Clarence Redd, as is one can see by his achievements, one of the most versatile artists on Broadway and should prove a Godsend to the producers. The late Paulino Armitage paid him one of the finest compliments when she said to him "Redd, do you know that you are one of the most immaculate and one of the most conscientious men I have ever played opposite?" That may be summed up as Clarence Redd's whole character. He is and always will be a true lover of all that is artistic. A New Picture Comes to the Renaissance "Jeanne," a pictureization of H. H. Gaas's great newspaper serial, starting Dorothy Mackall and Jack Mulhall, is the feature picture at the Renaissance Theatre for Thursday and Friday, April 15 and 16. This is a picture replete with scenes showing fine clothes, pretty faces and all the things that go with those two mighty interesting details. Joanna, the girl who so prettily wears the fine clothes, gets a kick out of it that will thrill. It is a story of great interest and a picture that will please. The week-end attraction at the Renaissance Theatre will be that vivid picture adapted from a strong drama. "The Splendid Road." It is a Frank Lloyd presentation with Anna Q. Nilsson, Lionel Barrymore, and Robert Frazier supported by an all star cast. "The Splendid Road" is indeed a splendid picture. The scene is laid out in the gold country where men fight for gold—for life, women and anything else. Excitement is to be had from the start to the finish of this wonderful picture. It is one of the biggest attractions scheduled for the Renaissance in several weeks and will no doubt bring out a capacity attendance at every screening. "Three Faces East" at the Douglas Theatre The various powerful dramatic scenes of "Three Faces East" are bound to thrill all screen fans. What can be more romantic in the way of the introduction of such a story as this than an air duel high above the trenches in Northern France. A British plane and a German Fokker are shown maneuvering in thrilling combat, the British machine finally staggering and half-falling to the ground a victim of anti-altercraft marksman. From half demolished aircraft crawls "Frank Beunett," brought down behind the German lines, a strange meeting of old friends and the story begins. We get a glimpse of the pomp and panoply of Imperial Germany at its height, the Kaiser and his attaches in full military regalia appearing in the Imperial Palace, the now taded glory or militarist Germany. Rupert Julian, the director, himself tells the role of the Kaiser in this scene, a characterization he made famous in "The Beast of Berlin." "Wild Oats Lane" at the Roosevelt Theatre Marshall Neilian's fine production "Wild Oats Lane," which will be shown at the Roosweelt Sunday and Monday, April 18-19, is a vivid story which looks you squarely in the eye and pointing an accusing finger asks are you this way: Are you the type of father who does not understand your daughter and thereby shower insfortune and shame upon her by failing to hold our a helping hand to her in her plight? Are you the sweet, docile type of mother who pines for your child, yet believes in her and through your great belief brings her through the mire? Are you the type of crook that is wholly bad, as the dude is, or have you a spark or fineness like the gangster burfed deeply there just the same? "Dancing Mothers" at the New Lincoln Theatre Conway Tearle, who has the role of Jerry Naughton, the bachelor, in "Dancing Mothers," comes from a family of actors whose stage activities run back more than 200 years. He, therefore, comes naturally by the histrionic powers which he displays in his new picture at the Lincoln Theatre. His first ancestor of whose stage career there is a record was William Augustus Conway, who was born in England in 1712. He played Shakespearean and other classic roles there, and was one of William MacRoady's rivals. Mr. Tearle was born in New York, but his parents took him to England when he was ten years old. He was educated there, and took a great interest in athletics, becoming runner-up boxer in the North of England Schools, a circumstance which stood him in good stead in later years. At the age of seventeen he was the youngest Rugby football player ever selected to represent the English team against Wales. He was not able to play, however, because in the last game preceding it he had both legs broken. SONG RECITAL Lloyd Hickman, Baritone Assisted by BEATRICE HANDESON. Eloquentist CARLTON AVE, Y, M. C.

IT would seem that Mirie had written a piece in the Tittle about one of the lady performers and he arrived with his paper the night before publication to show the lady what he had written about her. VES; Mirandy, we saw you with our own eyes and heard you ask the gal if she liked what you said of her. Which set me, in spite of the many claims you make, to wondering if you entertain fears that the lady would not see your publication. Say, darling, is that a sign of greatness? The dean usually writes about them and lets it go at that. No newspaperman with all the accomplishments you claim would be seen running around calling people's attention to what they write. SO that's what you do with the first copy of your paper every Wednesday day, hah? Well, well, well! That's certainly a good one, and while you laughed at the idea of Jess McMahon and Tex Rickard coming up to meet us in a Rolls-Royce to take us to Madison Square Garden you were nearer the truth than you know when you wrote that. Even conservative Clark of the Age will laugh when he reads about how you are forced to paddle your own stuff after writing it. Maybe we are diplomatic, but not to that extent. In the New York evening World of April 5 Lester A. Walton has again come to the fore with a statement which embodies all the truth those of us have tried to maintain in the face of obstacles of which Walton is fully conversant. In Walton's book we were a query by Palmer, Smith, the Evening World's columnist on things theatrical. The former managing editor of the New York Age said: ANOTHER query last week on the lack of a comedy unit of Negro players brought a reply from Lester A. Walton, representative of the Sunday World in Harlem. It is a carefully considered statement: "In the first place, there exists among white Americans a tendency to underrate the Negro and things negroid. Because of this characteristic, if a proposition were submitted to officials of the celluloid industry pointing out the practicability and aliveness of producing Negro comedies, they would not see it. But just let some pit over a Negro comedy and there will be a deluge of imitations. "A few years ago a company was formed in New York to make Negro comedies. Harlem colored actors were sent South on a location selected for 'atmosphere.' It soon dawned on the promoters that the scenario did not amount to much, and unless some real humor was injected they would have a tragedy rather than a comedy on their hands. One of the producers suggested that chicken, watermelon, razor and gin, at one time regarded as indispensable 'props' to Negro fun-making, be utilized. This was done, but the comedy turned out to be a sad affair, both artistically and financially. The promoters, in their lamentations, heralded the information that there was no money in Negro comedies. Nobody could convince them they had erred in not having an acceptable scenario. "The public no longer laughs at a Negro either on the stage or the screen carrying a chicken or watermelon, drinking gin, industriously wielding a razor or shooting craps. Bert Williams and Miller and Lyles may be mentioned as notable exponents of real Negro humor. "Those with scenarios for good Negro comedies have no contracts with those in a position to advantageously exploit them. There is a disposition to launch Negro entertainment on a comparatively cheap and expect unusual results. Negro atmosphere does not call elaborate settings and costumes, yet it highly developed technical stage equipment. Negro public demands more than a gathering of colonists for the collection of a few stage 'props.' "Negro comedies furnish a virgin field for movie exploitation, but a combination of money and brains is necessary. If big results are to be realized the promoters cannot be in the piker class, and the writers of the scenarios must know the difference between comedy and burlesque. "Not only is there a ready market for clean, intelligently staged Negro comedies in the leading motion picture theatres throughout the country, but they would be available to the hundreds of movies North, East, South and West catering wholly to a Negro clientele." READERS of this paper will readily see why we never miss an opportunity to speak in such glowing terms of Lester Walton. His grasp on headlamp as well as people is far above that of any other writer of a darker accent which will no doubt send up a wall from those mushrooms who imagine that colored show business started with "Shuffle Along." Walton stands secure in his enviable position because he has been able to see beyond those shallow things which have been cluttering up our stage, called revues. We long for a legitimate musical comedy which will not have to depend on half-made women, blues that had their inception in the gutter, and the much-abused "Charleston." MANAGER PEKELNER of the Roosevelt and Douglas theatres feels that the claims for recognition on the part of the colored motion picture operators are just. And this is as it should be. This being the case, it is hard to see how these colored operators will be denied an opportunity at any theatre in Harlem catering exclusively to their own people. Of course, rumor has it that both the Roosevelt and Douglas will change hands the latter part of this month, but this should not affect the progress made by the motion picture operators in getting the support of Mr. Pekelner if it is true that he will soon be leaving the neighborhood. As we have pointed out in the past, these young men are not at the doors of these Harlem theatres demanding that the whites be thrown out and they taken in, but are asking in a humble manner for that which they knew could be given them without any trouble. They do not expect that the white operators will be thrown out the moment the colored ones appear on the scene, but believe by orderly process and in time they will go into the booths here by easy stages and be the pioneers to enter another field from us. We had been barred because that which they knew could be given them without any trouble will and we thank each and every theatre owner in Harlem for the friendly spirit shown towards this writer in bringing this matter to their attention. We try to serve our people in a humble way and will continue to do so as long as we are here. WE make no vapid claim to superiority over others supposedly functioning along the same lines here in Harlem, but it is timely, we believe, to call the attention of our readers to the fact that in a rush season of the theatres here catering to Negroes we carried seven display advertisements as against two by Mirandy Tattler, who lays claim to being the representative of a real theatrical sheet. We carried more advertising of this nature than any other publication of this kind in Harlem, and we believe this is the best answer to what we have always The following theatres in Harlem catering to colored people employ all colored motion picture operators: MEMBERS OF THE COLORED MOTION PICTURE PROJECTIONIST ASSOCIATION tried to do. We are not found in the highways and byways confidently telling others how great we are, but we are going to confess that, through the policy we have always maintained, we have done as good as possible. We are not going to confess that we are going in the pages conducted by us you have always found the matter which interests you most, and with health and the ability to hang on we are going to continue to give you what we know you want. Bretton Hall Boys at Man. Casino April 23 The popular Bretton Hall boys are with us again, and it is going to be a real bang-up time at the Manhattan Casino on the night of April 23, when the ball starts rolling. During the cold months the boys have been planning and getting things ready for this big Spring affair, which bids fair to top everything of its kind since the melting of Winter's snowa. Fletcher Henderson and his Original Roseland Orchestra will vie with John C. Smith and his Modern Dance Orchestra in supplying a night of good music, which few will miss. The Bretton Hall boys have made a wonderful name for themselves in the past, and this dance will not only take its place with the best they have offered in the past, but points to surpassing everything they have ever done.

This can be doue in any or all of the following ways: (a) ‘A reasonable tax on each club for that specific purpose of, say, $10 per year; (b) give a dance or reception and make each associated club responsible for $10 worth of tickets, which they may do as they clloose with; (c) legislate a-portion of the recelpts of the anoual tournament to the cause; (d) Solicit donation from our leading colored men and women tn the city who want to.see the race advance along all.lines and who will agree that it will help the youngsters by building up 4 healthy body with the consequent hewithy mind, WE feel sure tuat_we can interest somo tennis players to donate tha fees to help some worthy youngster annually. “This accomplished, have cach club to recommend two juntora yoarly, the association plac. fag them after investigation In the lub recommiénded them and. using ‘Uiis fund to assume the fnanctal ability of thelr dues, at the same ‘Lime using its influence to make these dies to Juniors tot more than one-hait the fees of adults. This plan will obviate the main difficulty of ‘the lack of junior players ‘in the big city. ‘THE cost of courts in New York ig so high that’ clibs are forced. to recruft_ members to the Imit of thelr capacity in order to pay for them, These fees are prohibitive, as far as the youngsters are con- corned, and even though they may be admitted at halt price the cost of tennis paraphernalla prevents them from starting In the game, Now if the association could take care of thelr dues, thelr parents and friends would take care of their rackets. balls, etc.’ This will start at least thirty youngsters in-the game every year and create a healthy rivalry Dotweon the associated clubs, as to the advancement and proficiency of the juniors {n thelr club, which will culminate with the annual cham- plonship fa a junior tourney, THERE fs no doubt that this will benefit the game tremendously. First, it will’ have started the «association on a truly progressive march ‘which will bring confidence, respect and the neceskary co-opera- tion for future progressive work: and. secondly, it will Elva. our boys and girls a chance to play the gaine, preparing them to take the places tomorrow of the men and women of today. and bringing to the gamo the effervescent dasli, enthuslasin and virility of youth. |e | 19th Annual Martin Recital and Dance The pupils of the Martin-Smith Music School will hold their an- nual recital and dance Friday eve- ning, May 14, at New: Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue, under the direction of Eugene Mars Martin and Mrs. David I.

Concord Sunday School Basketball Team Closes Sea- son, Winning Sil- ver Trophy Large and Enthusiastic Crowd Witnesses Defeat of St. Augustine in Hard Played Contest ; s: CS Baptist “Sun- | day School basketball team, playing in the Carlton Avenue ¥. M,C. A. Sunday School basketball tourna- ment, came out on top after a desperate struggle with St. Augustine last Tuesday eve- ning. A very large and ‘en- thusiastic crowd witnessed the game that decided .Sun- day “School supremacy for this year. At the start {t was thought that the gamo would be a one-sided af fair, for Concord held their oppon- ents to three points iu the first half, scoring 14 themselves. The second halt proved quite exciting. Some one threw some “T, N. ‘T.” n the St. Augustine outfit ‘and things got hot from the very start. Walter Grosvernor,. pivot man for St A. proved his worth to St, A. by get- ting away from Niles and scoring 11.polnts. Concord, a little over: confident, found St, A. creeping upon them, and had to extend every effort to keop them down. At one time the scoro was 16-17—Con- cord, Both teams displayed a brand of basketball that hasn't been seen this senson. Concord has a very fast and clever team and they demonstrated that fact againat St. A. ‘Albert Smith, a fast and shifty guard, Bartlette, center, and Lane at forwurd, help to make up a com- bination that is hard to beat. How- ever, St. A, with McClammy, Gros- vernor and Ward, will make any team display a defensive brand of ball. Concord having won, receives the Dr. Jesse E. Moorland Trophy, a.deautiful sliver loving cup, This was the first year-that such a tour- nament has been conducted and wo fecl that cach Sunday School has done its part in making it a suc- cess.

C. last Saturday night to stop the decision from Jackie Gordon. Phil Bernstein's East New Yorker, in their twelve round final. Suggs, when he fought and defeated Abe Goldstein, the former titleholder, and Dominick Petrone, of Harlem, in the Garden some time back, seemed possessed of a pair of speedy and hard hitting hands. Last Saturday night, though, he missed frequently. The bout was marred somewhat by Gordon's all too frequent holding tactics. Suggs took the aggressive from the start, and had Gordon giving ground quite a bit in the closing rounds. Gordon was pretty weak at the end. Suggs weighed 123.4, Gordon 123.4. Felucci Stops Sakamoto. Swinging along at a whirlwind pace, apparently determined to reach the top as soon as possible, Johnny Felicetti, the Harlem featherweight, added another kickout victory to his string when he put the rollers under Jimmy Sakamoto, the rangy Jap. in 2.35 of the ninth round of their scheduled 12-round semifinal. Feluciel, in his first fight over the long distance, having only come of age two weeks ago, stepped in front at the opening gong, and pummelled the Oriental from pillar to post. Johnny opened the way to his knockout triumph in the third round when he took Sakamoto to his own. Feluciel's corner, toward the close of the canto, and administered heavy punishment to all para to the body. Before Referee O'Sullivan halted proceedings in the fifth session, Feluciel floored Sakamoto with a barrage of lefts and rights to the head for a nine count, Jimmy rose, only to go down for another count of the same duration, on a right to the chin. When he again arose, O'Sullivan stopped the fight. Feluciel weighed 1253l, Sakamoto, 127. Mendoza Kayos Cruz. When Referee Jack Sullivan inquired from Vie Cruz, 126, Porto Rico, at the end of the second round of the scheduled special six, whether he desired to take any more punishment to the stomach from Jimmy Mendoza, 127, Harlem, Jimmy De Forest's protege, Cruz negged, giving Mendoza a technical knockout. Mendoza had things well in hand from the start, aliming his punches practically entirely in the neighborhood of Cruz's stomach, that part of his anatomy which Vie liked most. The best Cruz did was to hold whenever the opportunity presented itself. A rough four-round opener gave Al Maresco, 128, Bayonne, N. J., the decision over Phil Richards, 14, England. Maresco clipped Richards on the chin time, and again only to have Phil come tearful in for more action, to the pleasure of the customers. While Jack O'Sullivan was at leading to the boys in the ring, George Kelly and Charley Mathi- son occupied the judging boxes, and Eddie Minson ticked off the minutes at the clock, as usual. Cramped and Suffered "My backand head would ache, and I had to go to bed," says Mrs. W. L. Ennis, of Worthville, Ky. "I just could not stay up, for I would cramp and suffer so. I was very nervous. My children would 'get on my nerves.' It wasn't a pleasure for me to try to go anywhere, I felt so bad. "My mother had taken CARDUI For Female Troubles at one time, so she insisted that I try it. I took four bottles of Cardui, and if one should see me now they wouldn't think I had ever been sick. I have gained twenty pounds, and my cheeks are rosy, feel just fine. I am regular and I feel the pain. "Life is a pleasure to do my work with ease. I give Cardui the praise." Cardui has relieved many thousands of cases of pain and female trouble, and should help you, too. SUGGS HANDS GORDON A NEAT TRIMMING Sergt. Sammy Baker and Harry Dudley Sat. Archie Morgan Sees Black Bill Perform in Havana, Cuba And Former Defender Writer Sends Special Account From Ringside for Amsterdam News Readers By ARCHIE MORGAN (At the Ringside) HAVANA, Cuba, April 9—Black Bill, the Cuban wonder, who for the past year has been handing out neat drubbings to our best flyweights and bantams in and around New York, returned to Havana like a conquering hero last week and gave Henny Catena, white, of New York, one of the worst beatings ever witnessed at the Arena Colon here. Wednesday. Fifteen thousand excited Cubans and Spaniards clamored into the open-air arena to witness the sight, which was over the 12 round route and one of the most thrilling and hotly contested affairs seen. Catena by no means is a slouch and, though beaten, fought an excellent battle. It was one thrill after another and chocked full of action from beginning until the end. Though Catena kept boring in and landing some telling punches, little Bill was his muster, and Bill took every round in two rounds and beated York City by beating Bill. Those were the third and fifth. Catena fought hard to lick the Cuban in these rounds but though the margin in favor of Bill was small, it was there. Black Bill gave away four pounds to the white boy. Bill tilted the scales at 119¹⁴ and Catena weighed in at 114¹⁴. The first round started with the boys seeking an opening. Finally Bill got in two stiff body punches which stung Catena and the fight started. Henry landed a neat left to the jaw and took a right to the head in return. Bill began to speed up by taking the lead and kept it. The crowd roared as Bill slammed right and left to Henny's head and body with telling effect. Bill was so fast that Catena had trouble in fathoming the Cuban lad's style. Every round was practically a repetition of the first, with Henny on the receiving end. Bill introduced to his countrymen some of his fancy rope stunts with his legged work in New York. He worked well, but might not call comedy, so enthused the spectators that they sent up a series of yells that were deafening. Straw hats were repeatedly thrown into the air. The excited actions of the Cubans were as interesting as the fight. Black Bill is so well thought of here that if he had presidential incidences he could win, with an overtening majority at the next election.

Sammy Baker is coming fresh to the wars to wipe out that one-round defeat which he suffered at the hands of Henry Dudley some time ago in New Jersey. As we told time after time in these columns, when Dudley hung the haymaker on the sergeant, all the O'Fay papers soft pedaled and refused to give Dudley the honors which should have been his in knocking cold in one round so formidable a fighter as Baker. But the white boy from the aviation field is full of heart and we are willing to wager that Dudley will not repeat that splendid K. O. He is going to have his hands full with the hard-hitting sergeant and the battle will be fit for the gods if both men perform as expected. And Interesting Letter Arrives From Saunders Who Is on His Way to Australia, Where He Seeks to Box With the Best in the Antipodes On Board R. M. S. "Makura," March 13, 1925 Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty Sports Editor Amsterdam News, New York City. Dear Sir: Tomorrow (Monday) we arrive in Wellington, New Zealand. So far I have had a very enjoyable trip and have met some very charming fellow-passengers. To keep myself fit on the voyage I have had a few rounds with some of the picked boxers amongst the stewards, but apart from this I have taken little or no exercise, so that I expect that it will take me from two to three weeks to get into real fighting condition when I land in Sydney, Australia. From wireless information on board the R. M. S. Makura I learn that Harry Collins, mid-weight champion of Australia, knocked out Prisco McGalile in ten (10) rounds. I am looking forward therefore to my meeting with Harry Collins at the Sydney Stadium and trust the result will be in my favor. As early as possible I will be sending you some pictures of Papeete and Raratonga, both of which places I visited and enjoyed on account of their fine surroundings. At Papeete it was very tropical in climate, but all champagne, wines and liqueurs were terribly cheap. Moet and Chandon, Dry Monopole and Mumm's were only $2 a quart bottle. Best French claret and Sherry, 75 cents. Creme D'Menthe Liqueur 60 cents. Benedictine lurge bottle) $1.75. The reason for all these low-price drinks was on account of the low quotation of the French franc, 27 francs to the dollar. In conclusion I will not forget to send you some of Sydney's picturesque views as I understand that it possesses one of the finest harbors in the world. I will also not fall to keep you fully posted in all matters appertaining to my fights in Australia. With kind regards. Yours very truly BUDDY SAUNDERS.

In the first game Lloyd gave Haynes, one of his new pitchers, a tryout, but Haynes lacked control and had to be taken out before the first inning was over. Gistantaner, formerly star twirler for Oscar Charleston's Harrisburg Giants, took the mound for the remainder of the game and pitched exceptionally good ball. He held the visitors to three scattered hits and prevented any scoring after the first inning. The former Harrisburg star also proved valuable with the willow, getting two hits in three trips to the plate. The final score of this contest was 4-3. The breaks were all against the Lincoln's in the second game. They outhit their opponents, 16 to 7, but were unable to make their hits count when needed. Four double plays by the Bronx Giants spelled defeat for the home team. The score was 6-4. The box scores: BLOOMFIELD ELKS.

The Superior Club, Inc., of Brooklyn, presenting the greatest attraction in dance music offered this season, has borrowed from Broadway Vincent Lopez, kingpin of white jazz, and his club orchestra, and Fletcher Henderson, emperor of all Negro artists, and his world-famed "Roseland" players to make their annual Spring dansant the most brilliant in the history of the borough. In securing these extraordinary artists the committee seeks to express that, despite the great expense, the club welcomes this opportunity to show its appreciation to its numerous followers, not only in Brooklyn, but which has also extended to New York and New Jersey, for the loyal support accorded at the Spring dance of 1825 and the more recent basketball season. The success of Vincent Lopez is largely due to his adaptability to the moods and tastes of his audiences. Quoting from his article, "Lopez-Speaking," featured in Collier's National Weekly of March 13, he says: "It doesn't take long to get the fell of an audience. If a number doesn't hit the majority, know it right away and if I sense that the program isn't going over, never hesitate to change it rigorously. I tune myself inwardly as arefully as one would tune a folt, to receive the vibrations from my distinguished listeners." Considering that his record productions and weekly broadcasting programs reach millions and that he has thrilled both laymen and kings, we need not attempt to emphasize the success of his methods. Fletcher Henderson, although he needs no introduction, since his return to the "Roseland" has been even more successful. You will hear him at his best responding to the versatile Lopez. The committee will neglect no possibility to make your evening most enjoyable and will consider all suggestions for your comfort and protection as a guest of the superior Club. \(E=mc^{2}\) Recital and Concert Arranged The Harlem School 203 W. 139TH ST., BRAD. 8133 Tulton In Piano and Voice Culture Learn to Dance ANDERSON'S STUDIO 564 LENOX AVE., ROOM 14 Bradhurst 3573 Assembly Saturday Evenings IMPERIAL AUDITORIUM 160 W. 129TH ST.

Orville Singer arrived a few days previous. Since Manager Lloyd is holding his former position at second base, Singer will alternate with Young at right field. Slowly but surely Manager Lloyd has strengthened the team until the fans who have seen them in action are now confident that the Lincoln's will be a strong contender for championship honors in the Eastern League race. On Saturday, April 10, in Camden, the Lincoln beat the Camden team out by a score of 10-9 in a game which went ten innings. This Camden team will be the attraction at the Lincoln's home grounds, Protectory Oval, in a double header Sunday afternoon, April 18. The Lincoln players include the following: Gee brothers and Joe Lewis, catchers; Chambers, Hayward, Haynes, Roberts and several rookies, pitchers; Young and Hudspeth, first base; Lloyd, second base; Lindsey, short stop; Finley, third base; Scott, G. Johnson, Ramirez, Singer and Young, outfielders. Many Responding to Invitations of 29 Club Judging from the number of people who have indicated their intention of being "among those present" at the invitational Spring dawntail of the popular 29 Club of Brooklyn on Friday night, April 23, the affair will be the banner one that the club has ever given. In spite of the fact that an effort was made to reach all of the friends of the 29 young men who comprise Brooklyn's most select club, so many requests have come in for additional invitations that the arrangement committee was unable to accommodate all who requested. The dawntail, to be held at the exclusive Imperial in Red Hook Lane, Brooklyn, is a strictly invitational one, which the finest element in Greater New York always attends. This is the third time the 23 Club has held an invitational affair. The two previous ones made an enviable name for the young men in Brooklyn, so much so that they have often been asked when they would next entertain. The coming reception on April 23 will undoubtedly eclipse any of the previous ones. Excellent music has been arranged and a real Brooklyn evening among Brooklyn's most exclusive is assured.

TODAY I stood by the modest grave of Booker Taliaferro Washington, founder of the greatest institution of its kind in the world. As I stood there with uncovered head, I was reminded that Elbert Hubbard, who considered Booker Washington one of the six great teachers of the world — the other five being Thomas Arnold, Erasmus. Hypatia, St. Benedict and Mary Baker Eddy — also ranked Washington as great a general as Napoleon, whose tomb in the Invalides in Paris, France, it has also been my pleasure to see. What a contrast! Napoleon's huge sarcophagus in black marble and Booker Washington's humble resting place in the great out-of-doors, marked only by a huge stone. All my life I had heard and read of Tuskegee Institute and its founder, and a short time before he died — November 14, 1915 — I had the honor of seeing him in New York City. After that, I heard him speak on several occasions and continued to read of his life and work. James Bell gave a most pleasing song recital Sunday afternoon at the Imperial Auditorium before a highly appreciative audience. Bell gave his program with fine mastery and disclosed an unusual voice of marked beauty and placement. His total effects were superb and his diction, enunciation and interpretation admirable.

Now I know. To get an idea of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and an inking of the "Tuskegee Idea" it is necessary to pay the institute a visit of at least a week's duration. Books and articles are inadequate to describe it; photographs of separate buildings cannot picture it. Only an aeroplane view or a reel of film from a motion picture projector can convey something of its physical magnitude to one who has not seen it. No other time of the year offers a greater opportunity for seeing Tuskegee Institute than the activities connected with Founder's Day observed here today and by the alumni of the school throughout the United States. When Booker Washington died thousands of Negro boys and girls living today were not yet born. Thousands more of the young men and women of today were unable to appreciate the significance of his passing.

All this and more is dramatically told in "Up From Slavery," his autobiography, considered one of the most remarkable ever written. Every Negro should read it. Tuskegee Institute was opened on July 4, 1881, the first class numbering 30. The preceding May the Alabama Legislature had appropriated $2,000 to pay the salaries of the teacher and principal, but no provision was made whatever for funds with which to acquire land and erect buildings. The first $250, with which 100 acres of land was purchased at a cost of $500, was borrowed by Mr. Washington from General J. F. B. Marshall, treasurer of Hampton Institute. Thus, Dr. Washington's and Tuskegee's beginnings were humble and small. Contrast Tuskegee today with an enrollment grown from 30 to 3,000; from one teacher to 248, teaching 29 trades to boys and 11 to girls; from 100 acres to 1,850, on which now stand 119 buildings; with an increase of half a million and an endowment fund of eight millions of dollars. five millions of which was raised by friends of the present principal. Robert R. Moton, also a graduate of Hampton Institute. Leaving out the iron and coal industry centering around Birmingham. Tuskegee Institute is the biggest thing in the State of Alabama. It is a city within itself, with a bank, post office, library and one of the largest general stores in the state. all of which are conducted by Negroes identified with the school. HEAD, HAND, HEART. In this city Negro boys and girls are trained to be brickmasons basket makers, architectural drafts men, carpenters, dairymen, dressmakers, electricians, steam engineers, milliners, nurses, printers, painters, plumbers, shoemakers, tailors, tinsmiths, wheelwrights, while at the same time they are being fitted for more extensive work along academic lines. All have the Tuskegee idea—the education of head, hand and heart. Some of the more outstanding of the 30-odd departments of the school are: The Department of Research and Records, directed by Monroe N. Work; the Children's House, whose principal is Laura T. Jones; the Carnegie Library, with M. Ernes tine Suarez as librarian; the Department of Industrial Chemical Research, presided over by that wizard of modern times, George W. Carver, whose potato, peanut and clay products are known all over the world; the Military Department, commanded by Colonel William H. Walcott, and the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, whose medical director is Dr. Eugene H. Dubble Jr. But the Tuskegee idea is not alone diffused by resident students, many of whom come from all parts of Africa, Central America, South America, the Philippines, Panama, the West Indies and all of the states in the Union, but through vocational teachers of agriculture and home economics, the agricultural extension work conducted by the Government through Tuskegee and the school's own extension workers, thousands more are reached and started on the right road to lives of usefulness.

Booker, which was the first cognomen by which he was known (he having not yet annexed the Taliaferro and Washington), was born a slave on a plantation near Hale's Ford, in 1858 or 1859. He never knew the exact day or month, but the date has now been set down as April 5, the observance this year being deferred until today because of a meeting of the Interracial Commission. Booker, who knew absolutely nothing of his white father, lived in a rude one-room log cabin with his mother, who was also born and sold into slavery several times. With his brother, John, and his sister, Amanda, the three children slept on a pile of rags in a corner of the cabin. It was after the close of the Civil War before they knew what it was like to sleep in a bed, or read and write. One of his earliest recollections was of hearing his mother pray for the success of the Union Army. About this time the mother moved with Booker's stepfather and their brood to Maiden, W. Va., a town five miles from Charleston present capital of the State, where the three males in the family found work in the salt furnaces. Here it is significant to record that Booker's first teacher was a Negro engaged by the ex-slaves of Malden to teach their children and whose services were paid for out of their meager earnings. GOES TO HAMPTON. Later he went to work in a nearby coal mine and still later was hired by a Vermont woman for $5 per month. Hearing of Hampton institute, his one ambition became to some day be able to go there, and on this goal he set his mind and soul. After enduring all kinds of hardships, including hunger, deprivations and sleeping under sidewalks in Richmond, Va., working unloading ships, he realized his ambition and reached the institute at Hampton. He had exactly 50 cents in his pocket upon his arrival with which to begin his education. This was in 1872. He was admitted to the institute, worked all his way through, and finished in 1875. During that summer he waited table in Connecticut and in the fall returned to Malden to teach the less fortunate members of his race. GOES TO TUSKEGEE. In 1873 he studied in Washington, D. C., and in 1879 returned to THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1926 THE STATUE OF THE MAYOR OF BOSTON PRESIDENT COOLIDGE standing before the Charles Keek bronzed statue of Booker Washington on the campus of Tuskegee Institute.

It only begins, for nothing is more important to the Negro in the entire South, and to the white South, and to the nation than that all races within its confines should live in peace with one another, should appreciate each other's work and work together for their mutual advancement. Tuskegee is the greatest influence in the South working towards these ends, educating the Negro to a life of usefulness and educating the white South to a realization of the fact that worth, not race, counts.

Zion Church, Miss Eva D. Bowles of the Y. W. C. A. National Board, Dr. James Bond of Louisville, and David D. Jones were some of the Negro leaders seen at these sessions, and who in a spirit of mutual helpfulness talked over all phases of the race problem in the South, with as many southern white men and women. The work of this body is beginning to bear fruit. HOPEFUL SIGNS. Committees, composed of the descendants of slave-holders—men Co-operation, which has just closed its sessions Saturday, is an outstanding example of the new spirit of co-operation springing up all over the South and which will benefit both races alike. During the sessions of this Commission, I listened to speeches by southern white men and women that had more of a ring of sincerity in them than many I have heard in New York City on the race problem by liberals of long standing. Dr. and Mrs. Moton, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Dr. and Mrs. John Hope, Bishop R. E. Jones of the M. E. Church, C. C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C. Bishop George C.

Washington, of this noted institution steadily estration the Endowment Fund free to eight million dollars. whose fathers fought for the retention of slavery—are now cruising against lynching, taking an interest in the education of the Negro, demanding justice in the courts for him, and pointing the way to improved health and housing for him. The new day is shining into the windows of Southern white schools and colleges, exposing to the view of the future leaders of the South the curse and economic waste of prejudice and stupidity—a most hopeful sign. Like the Abolition Movement James Hall; One of the New Modern, Fireproof Girls' Dormitories the Interracial Commission had small beginnings, but is spreading like wildfire over the entire South. The Commission is headed by Dr. Will W. Alexander, a white man of Atlanta, Ga. Moton. Upon his shoulders have fallen the million and one details Dr. Moton is personally responsible for, but which it is impossible for him to fulfill and superintend the larger phases of his work. Tuskegee Institute is marching on! As I write, physicians are pouring into Tuskegee for the clinic to be held this week in the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital. This hospital, which was formally opened in February of 1813, is a gift of a Boston friend of Tuskegee and is modernly equipped throughout. It is located on the highest point of the school grounds and overlooks the entire campus. The United States Veterans' Hospital here, erected by the Federal Government for disabled soldiers of the World War at a cost of $3,000,000, is a story in itself and cannot be dealt with at length here. Dedicatory exercises were held February 12, 1923, at which time President Coolidge, who was then Vice-President, delivered the principal address. While first manned by an entire white personnel, except for a few minor places, the entire staff since July, 1924, has consisted of Negroes, with Dr. Joseph H. Ward of Indianapolis, Ind., in charge. When it is considered that Dr. Ward, who holds the rank of colonel in the United States Army, has expended a million and a half dollars in the maintenance, of this institution; it is little wonder that the narrow-minded white South, aided by the Ku Klux Klan, put forth every effort to perpetuate its control of it. Except for a little discord caused here and there by members of his own race and by prejudiced individuals in the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, the situation here is entirely a harmonious one. Colonel Ward has proven himself efficient in every way. FOUNDER'S DAY EXERCISES. All these activities are but the lengthened shadow of Booker T. Washington, who, though dead, lives on in the hearts of his fellow men. Founder's Day exercises began yesterday with the arrival of the Eastern group of trustees, headed by Dr. William J. Shieffelln of New York City, chairman. The principal address was made this afternoon by Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard University, trustee of Hampton Institute and a friend of the great educator. "Of the leaders," he said, "who have thus far given the race a history and have justified its self-respect, there can be no question that we commemorate today the most distinguished." (His address is reprinted in full elsewhere in this issue.) MAJ. R. R. MOTON A GREAT CONSERVATOR. But the work of Dr. Washington —great as it was—would not have continued to live, grow and prosper were it not, happily, for the fact that he was succeeded by a great conservator; by a man who had imbibed the spirit and ideal of Tuskegee's founder and who had the courage and the determination to continue the march forward. Tuskegee Institute under the administration of Dr. Moton is a greater Tuskegee than when Booker Washington died—greater than when he was called to its principalship, and greater each year since he has been here. This, of course, is as it should be, but did not have to be. From the outset his task was a difficult one in that he was required, not so much to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Washington, but to step in where he stepped out and press forward for the education and advancement of his race. This he has done, and done well—far beyond the expectations of his most optimistic admirers. Tuskegee is better equipped for service, physically, mentally and financially, than it has ever been before. Dr. Moton more than any other individual is responsible for the awakening consciousness of the white South. He, more than any other individual, is responsible for the entire Negro personnel now in charge of the United States Veterans' Hospital No. 91, which fact would have been known long ago but for his modesty and humility. A. L HOLSEY. No article on Tuskegee today would be complete without special mention being made of Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the trustee board and secretary to Dr. Moton. If Dr. Moton has not failed Tuskegee, Mr. Holsey has not failed Dr. Moton. Upon his shoulders have for him to fulfil and superintend fallen the million and one details the larger phases of his work. Dr. Moton is personally responsible for, but which it is impossible Tuskegee Institute is marching on! Education for Life Founder's Day Address of Dr. FRANCIS G. PEABODY, of Harvard University, Delivered at Tuskegee Institute Sunday, April 11. IT IS a great privilege to share with you the memories which you proudly cherish on Founder's Day. One of the most touching aspects of the early life of the Negro race in America was its lack of racial consciousness. The uprooting from Africa had not been succeeded by finding new roots in American soil. The enslaved Negro was a wanderer, a chattel, a piece of property; often indeed the property of a kindly master, but subject to removal and sale. No tradition of descent or leadership gave him a sense of tenure or of racial pride.

C., April 12—Julia Green, a hard-warking old woman living in Hickory, Mount Township, was shot to death with a shotgun by her son-in-law, Charlie Alston, last night about 10 o'clock, living an hour after being shot. Alston, in a jealous fit, was trying to shoot his wife when her mother jumped in between them receiving the entire load in her stomach. Officer John Burns of this place was soon upon the scene, but too late to catch the murderer. It was stated that a man present at the shooting caught Alson and tried in vain to hold him until the officers arrived. Alston is still at large but Sheriff Blair and his deputies are scouring the country for him and are confident that they will soon apprehend him.

Boy Scout News by Edward Lewis, Age 12 COWPUNCHERS' PARADE. When? Where? Oh, it was Saturday. Now, don't get excited thinking it is this Saturday. For the boys who did not go to see it, here are the details. The Boy Scout Cowpunchers paraded from the Seventy-first Infantry Armory, 34th street and Park avenue, to the Colony Theatre in West 53rd street. They went to see "The Flaming Frontier," a motion picture of the early West. Some of the officials needed ear-muffs to escape the loud cheering of the boys, for it seemed as though the whole roof of the theatre was coming off. There were boys from about forty troops present, and listen, one of the scout executives made a speech before the picture started, and he said something funny, and oh, boy, what cheers he received. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah. Some of the scouts got out of their seats and when they came back, their seats were gone. So one of the officials had to get up on the stage and say to the boys, "If you don't keep your seats you won't have any." It was some show, and it was good.

Next a dashing debutante who never forgot her less fortunate girl friends. Now securely gracing the throne of the Queen of Beauty Culture. Life holds no stranger tale than this thrilling narrative of the woman with the heart of purest gold. On a blustery March day some years ago, there had gathered in the cozy little home of Anderson and Melissa Doke, a well-known and respected couple of the then rapidly growing town of Macon, Georgia, a small circle of good friends who had come to pay homage to the family's newest arrival. Papa Doke, with inflated chest and a sense of superiority that only a father feels, was strutting about with the reckless abandon of a proud peacock on dress parade, smilingly acknowledging the well wishes of all who thronged his spacious parlor that eventful day. Mama Doke, convalescent from her recent trying ordeal, wistfully smiled her happiness upon the laughing, chaty group. To the left of the parlor was the gaily bedecked bedroom . . . and there . . . right in its center . . . smug and secure in the white recesses of carefully placed coverlets, lay the cooing, brown bundle of bliss, who had just been baptized and christened "Mamie." One by one the guests softly tiptoed over to the cradle to venture a look upon this newly arrived "queen of the household." Many indeed were the words of praise showered upon the happy couple destined to the priceless parenthood of one of the Group's greatest women Madame Mamie Hightower's Most Prized Possessions Mudame Hightower has thousands of letters addressed to her personally by men and women she has never seen, endorsing her Golden Brown Beauty Preparations. Some are from famous stars of stage and screen, others from obscure Individuals, but all are equally precious to her. Early Days in Memphis, Tenn. Baby days passed quickly for little Manie. While she was young the family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and ere long she was a familiar sight in the neighborhood of the Old Charleston Depot. "Lil Mame" as she was fondly called, was quite precocious for a little miss of four and she endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact by her alluring smile and invariable "Howdy do." Naturally Manie was a source of continual pride and joy to her parents but little did even they in their fondest dreams vision for her the place she was to occupy in after years. Bright by nature and studious by inclination Manie early gave evidence of accomplishment and she was continually plying questions about this or that to her fond mother and dad. And here it may be stated to the everlasting credit of her parents that with the limited facilities at hand as well as with their none too plentiful finances, they did all in their power to inspire their little daughter to bigger and better things. Mother Doke was a patient and willing teacher and many's the night in later years after Papa Doke had come home from a hard day's work, that the happy family group gathered "neath the glare of the lamp to discuss a variety of subjects. Inspired to Lofty Ideals by Her Parents Under such tender guidance and care it is only natural to expect that this most NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1926 Make a better mouse trap and the world will make a path to your door. What This Wonderful Woman Has Done in Her Short Lifetime BEGINNING with no capital except her knowledge of hair dressing and cosmetics and indomitable pluck Golden Brown Beauty Preparations are now shipped to all points of the world and are sold by possibly 12,000 drug stores in United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, England, France, Liberia and other countries. She is known to hundreds of thousands of men and women of our Group who bless her name. R.R. unusual child should develop into a glorious and buoyant type of young womanhood. As one of the social leaders of the younger, set, Mamie, despite all of her popularity, never forgot to spread words of happiness and good cheer among her less fortunate and less attractive "sisters." It is even claimed by many of those that knew Mamie Doke best that it was in these early days of social gayeties that she developed an intense interest in the beauty problems of our Group and that it was her genuine love for her people that awakened in her the desire to concentrate her activities toward creating and developing a system of "beauty aids" that would raise our standard of racial beauty. The Act of Kindness That Started Her to Fame and Fortune An interesting tale is told by one of Mamie's old time admirers that does much to establish proof of the sincere feeling of interest that Mamie felt for those of her girl friends with whom Beauty had dealt less kindly. At one of the outstanding social events of the season at which Mamie was the reigning belle there was one little unattractive miss who sat sad and forlorn in one of the unfrequented spots adjacent to the joy-filled ballroom. As Mamie whisked by in the swing of the waltz she cast a glance in the direction of the pitiful "wall-flower." Imagine the surprise of Mamie's partner when she immediately ceased further dancing and with a hurried "Excuse me" fluttered quickly o'er to the saddened one. "Twas Selma, one of Mamie's intimates, whose unattractive complexion persistently marred an otherwise pleasing countenance. Selma, upon perceiving Mamie, greeted her with a pitiful look and eyes fast filling with tears. "Don't worry, honey," soothed Mamie, "you are not missing anything by not dancing. Never mind, before long you'll be the envy of all who spurn you now. We'll change things a bit and The Remarkable Career of Madame Mamie Hightower Beauty Culturist of International Fame and Creator of the "Golden Brown Beauty Preparations" "Selma" Mrs. Jefferson Jefferson Home Laboratory "The Humble Beginning" Golden Brown OINTMENT FROM THE LABORATORY OF GOLDEN BROWN CHEMICAL CO. MEMPHIS TENN. The First Corp the next dance you go to it will be a different story." Turning Tears of Sorrow to Smiles of Gladness Mamie's kind words brought happiness to poor Selma. But how little she realized how well Mamie would make good her promise. How little she realized that her own pitiful self would be the inspiration that would guide Mamie to her creation of a world-famous beauty-ointment that would prove a blessing not only to herself but to thousands upon thousands of others of her Group scattered throughout the length and breadth of this great nation. Mamie Delves Into Secrets of Chemistry Being naturally inclined toward chemistry, Mamie proceeded the very next day after the party, to work upon a mixture that would be the salvation of her forlorn friend. Tirclessly delving into the mysteries contained in many books upon the subject and augmenting this information with practical knowledge gained from one or two of her druggist friends, Mamie made rapid strides in her endeavor and at the end of about a month of arduous work succeeded in perfecting her compound to the extent that she skipped daily down to Selma's and greeted this bewildered individual at the door with an excited, "Here is your beauty, honey!" Selma was the willing pupil and gazed upon her benefactress with admiring eyes. "Honey," said Mamie, "spread this ointment on your hands and then rub it briskly into the pores of your skin. Repeat this process every night and when the boys of The Robin Club give their big ball in the spring I'll bet you have the time of your life." With eyes glowing with gratitude Selma thanked Mamie profusely for her kindness and promised to begin and rigidly adhere to the plan as outlined by her sincere friend. The Grand Ball and the Miracle Time passed quickly and ere long the glorious Springtime arrived . . . and the gala ball of The Robins was at hand. It was a carnival of beauty . . . for all of the flower of Memphis manhood and womanhood were present. Mamie, as usual, was scintillating in her distinctive charm, and Selma, to the surprise of many of the guests, was the object of admiring eyes. "What change in Selma!" exclaimed many in whispers. "Why, the ugly duckling has become a beautiful swan," philosophized one old gray haired dignitary whose eyes took in every scene. Selma's conquest was complete. The young men present besought her with entreaties to dance. Dashing beauty who had previously shunned her presence now came forth with compliments and pleasanties. Selma's handsome golden brown complexion was charm in itself. Gone were the blotches and blemishes that had previously sentenced her to the dreadful existence of "wall-flower." But even in the midst of all this happiness Selma's heart was full of gratitude for her faithful loving friend . . . the loving fairy who had waved her magic wand o'er her and made her beautiful. Slipping for a moment from out the throng of admirers who surrounded her, Selma gaily slipped o'er to Mamie who herself was the center of another enjoyable gathering and with outstretched arms took her fond embrace, thanking her again and again for her great gift. But Mamie with her characteristic modesty, which was to win her so many friends in after years, ELEVEN soothed the sentimental outburst of Selma and with a knowing smile calmly said, "I have made good my promise, honey, let us give thanks." One User Then; Nearly a Million Users Now How this act of friendship was to lead to grand and glorious heights of success and how this same beauty ointment fashioned with loving hands to help a friend was to be sold as Madame Mamie Hightower's Golden Brown Beauty Ointment in drug stores throughout the land is a tale that even rivals the fantasy of the Arabian Nights. But this must be told in a later issue of this story which will be printed in this paper in the near future. Madame Hightower Belongs in the Hall of Fame Our Grouphasmade remarkable strides of progress. We have produced our full quota of great scholars, lawyers, doctors, preachers, writers, artists, etc. We have our great universities like Wilberforce, Howard, Tuskegee and others. Everywhere is there evidence of our industry SELMA and Mamie were girlhood chums. Mamie was beautiful, Selma an "ugly duckling." Mamie's kind heart prompted her to make anointment which would clear Selma's complexion. Her success is told in this story. and activity. Madame Hightower is proud of Memphis and Memphis is justly proud of its most accomplished daughter. Memphis has reason to be proud, not only for what Madame Hightower has done, but because of the fact that it has contributed much toward the rapid advancement of our Group. The South has given us the great and gifted writers and orators whose potent pens and powerful voices are mighty instruments of our People. Memphis has given us a politician who is a power at our nation's capital and a man whose vast political influence has stretched far and wide. Another of Memphis' noted sons is a preacher whose spiritual influence has done much for the good and betterment of our People. The Hall of Fame has opened wide and Memphis has answered by giving to it many of its best loved sons and daughters who have achieved international prominence. Golden Brown Beauty Preparations are highest quality The success of Madame Manie Hightower's preparations is due entirely to their high quality, for very little money has been spent for advertising as compared to the huge amounts spent by imitators. First there was only Golden Brown Beauty Ointment at 25 cents. Gradually new things were developed, tried and proven and then offered Madame Hightower's friends. Golden Brown Hair Dressing, 50 cents; the Face Powder, 50 cents; Beauty Soap, 25 cents; Cold Cream, 50 cents; Vanishing Cream, 50 cents; Compact, 50 cents; Rouge, 50 cents; Lip Stick, 25 cents; Talcum, 50 cents, and the wonderful Flowers of Liberia Perfume, $2.50. All of these are sold by those druggists who value the patronage of our Group. Write to Madame Mamie Hightower Success has not spilled Madame Mamie Hightower. She still gets a thrill out of helping others improve their personal appearance. She receives many letters from men and women who ask her personal advice. Many have gotten to know her personally and there has sprung up between them a friendship which will grow to intimacy. If you are bothered by a blotchy complexion, harsh, unruly hair or other things that detract from your appearance and charm, you may feel free to write Madame Mamie Hightower, care of Golden Brown Chemical Co., Memphis, Tenn.

LAST MEETING WITH DR. WASHINGTON. The last time I met Dr. Washington in the Nation, not for the benefit of Tuskegee, but for that of Hampton. The Trustees of Hampton have had no stronger re-enforcement than they have gained through the devoted service of their work by Dr. Motton, and the President of the Nation, who has been the president of the Hampton Board for thirty years. Finally, as the complete evidence of this co-operative unity, the two schools have joined in the complete simplicity he answer "Oh, I stand anything for cause." Even praise could be dulled if it helped me more spoln attacks could frighten His sanity of flattery and will even to be called distinguishhe it helped the cause. EDUCATION FOR LIFE. I feel sure, however, that sanity of mind which I have described in your correspondence does not wish a dwell, even our Day on these remnants of the past; but would TUSKEGEE AND HAMPTON. These memories which you recall on Founder's Day are sufficient in themselves to draw one a thousand and miles in order to be with you on this occasion. may be permitted in other respects which may justify my sharing with you this commemoration. The first concerns the relation between Tuskegee and Hampstead, a trustee of the University been a trustee of Hampton Institute, and I welcome this opportunity of bearing witness to the singular and unbroken affection which has persisted between the two years. It was at first a relation of mother and daughter. Dr. Washington reached Hampton in 1872, and was sent nine years later, in 1881, to begin the work of Tuskegee. Dr. began to read the book in 1885, and Hampton for a second time surrendered to Tuskegee the man who was most needed by herself. I need not say how many of his choices students have been thus blessed by her mother's blessing to serve her daughter here, but the time has now come when the figure of speech must be changed, and the father must be longer as parent and child, but as sisters and allies in a common task. Nothing in the whole history of social service during the last generation has been more beautiful to watch than the completely co-operative in the two schools. Rapidly expanding the two schools, been, and in great need of help they might easily have believed themselves to be competitors, and the men and money given to one might have seemed lost to the world.

I may also recall one other association which has for me a very personal interest. I have been concerned with the work of Harvard University, and occurred to me the other day to examine the Alumni Directory of the University and observe how many honorary degrees had been awarded to my University to persons bearing the name of Washington. It appears that during the period of nearly three hundred years since Harvard University was founded there have been but three men who have been granted this academic recognition, in 1776, when the American Colonies were at the height of their struggle for liberty, an honorary degree was given to the Commodore General Washington; in 1825, forty nine years later, a degree was conferred on a nephew of George Washington, a graduate of William and Mary College, and later a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1896 an honorary degree was conferred on Booker T. Washington; and Harvard University cherishes the happy memory of being the first place of learning in the country to give academic recognition to a member of the Negro race. When George Washington received his degree from Harvard he was forty-four years old, when he was Washington's degenree he was sixty-five; when Booker Washington received his degree he was but thirty-eight, and received his degree from Eliza English President Elliott "teacher, wise helper of his race, and good servant of God and country." The first two of these shades belonged to him and made it illustrious. The last of the series was born without a family name, and there are probably, as he said, few American men who has been the degenree which was his of naming themselves. H19 SAGACITY. I do not propose to dwell to-day in detail on the achievements or character of your founder; but I will not attempt to describe all of his career which I have had many occasions to observe, and which seems to me even more rare than eloquence or wisdom or adoration. I will not describe what he be described as sanity, the capacity to see a situation just as it is and to deal with it both with courage and with sagacity. This trait which can sanity involves the ability of discernment to the gift to say the right word and avoid the wrong one, and, more than all, a complete absence of the self-seeking or conceit which makes them ill-tempered or indiscreet. I may illustrate what I mean by two experiences of my own. Dr. Washington had been speaking near my summer home, and had been introduced by the chairman in a meeting as the most distinguished speaker of the day. As we walked together from the hall, I said to Dr. Washington, "How do you stand such unquailled praise as that?" and with POLICE CLUBS!

Compli- ments could no more spoil him than attacks could frighten him. His sanity of mind was flattery and willing even to be called distinguished if it helped the cause. EDUCATION FOR LIFE. I feel sure, however, that the sanity of mind which I have thus described in your founder would not wish us to dwell, even at Founder's Day, on these reminiscences of the past, but we would bring ourselves with the problems and needs of the present and future. The best way to honor Dr. Washington is to carry on his work in his own spirit, and the best use of* a memorial meeting like this is to remember the work that is left to do. Let us turn then from these grateful memories to the tasks of the present time and consider the nature of this work begun by him and now so wonderfully expanded and filled which can be appreciated in the great General Armstrong, the great inspliner of Dr. Washington, as an "Education for Life." It has become evident to all thoughtful Americans that the stability of our institutions depends on an illiterate democracy is a contradiction in terms. A government by and for the people cannot be safe unless the people are informed and the popular government is popular ignorance. Our people have therefore established and maintained public education on a scale of unprecedented in the history of the world. Dr. Prifecthe of the Carnegie Institution has lately called attention to the contrast which may be observed between European and American towns in the character of the monumental centre of a town is likely to be a cathedral; in America it is almost certain to be a school or a college. Each state increases its budget or education; each town or village wants a schoolhouse of this type may be built, or the thing was all agreed, that universal education is the corner-stone of democracy. But what is education, and what kind of education prepares one for life? That is a question which is so somewhat difficult, and necessary as an answer it before tems of education were devised; but it is in fact a question which has only within a few years received a conclusive reply. The teacher is the proxemode from either of its two ends, from the point of view of the teacher of from the point of view of the pupil; as something to give to the student to get; as a communication of knowledge or as an awakening of life. The first view of education has practically been in control for hundreds of years. Knowledge has been regarded as a kind of property owned by teachers, and handled by children, as and without cashier hands money over the counter. Sometimes this deposit of knowledge is kept in books; sometimes it is dispensed in lectures. Indeed, the lecture system for teaching is not as old as were no books, and pupils had to sit before the teacher, listening to his words and writing them down. Now it may be confessed that much can be learned from books and lectures. I hope this is true, and I hope not. The learning not less than 200 lectures a year for 30 years, or a total of at least 6,000 lectures. The past has much to tell us through books, and the knowledge of books may be an Oriental saying. There is an Oriental saying that comfort a lecturer. Among the blind a one-eyed man is king. One may cherish the consulting reflection that though he knows so little, the class in front of him knows so much. It might light even of a one-eyed man to tears. And yet most teachers, I suspect, look back on their lecturing with a sense of futility, as though the teacher was not able to possess passive resistance to learning, like the little boy who, asked by his companion, "What is the teacher telling us, and answered, 'I cannot behave as it is taught, just let her teach.'" Within one generation, however, and to the intestable advantage of the world, a revolution has occurred which allows the teacher to Education. It approaches the whole from the other end, from the needs, experiences and capacities of the 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 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 like new. I made the few doses get rid of the bitch in my usual clear head, feel full of pep, and could do twice the work." Bilious attacks are "seasonal" with many people. Millions have taken Theford's Black-Draught to ward off such attacks, and the good results they have reported should induce you to try it. pupil. It involves a complete change of method. Its purposes, as the word 'education' perhaps indicates, is to educate or draw out the mind of a student (the child) with self-control. Whatever thus draws out the mind is good education. What does it best is the best education. Booker Washington told the whole story in the ringing words of his Atlanta address: "No race, he said, 'can prosecute us much dignity in filling a field as in writing a poem. What we call the higher education is thus determined, not by the subjects taught, but by the effect of the subject matter, in the mind of the pupil. One mind may be awakened by ideas and another by facts, one by reasonings and another by radios. A well-trained artisan is better educated than a half-dozen, a less important agent in education than the eye or the hand." FURNISHED ROOMS 53D ST., 213 W.

Wednesday, April 14, 1926 The Cost of Dying SEVERAL WEEKS AGO we received an anonymous letter from a subscriber of ten years' standing, questioning the wisdom of our carrying in our columns an undertaker's advertisement in which an illustration of a casket is used. Our correspondent pointed out that "eventually we all will have use for a casket," "that when people see the illustration in the paper they shiver, especially when they are not feeling so well," etc. CASKETS do cause shivers, but instances where the sight of them caused death are negligible. What is more, the shivers caused by the sight of a casket continue long after the casket and its occupant are interred. The widow, the husband, the father or the mother shivers when the undertaker hands in his bill for the funeral, when savings of years are swept away at one fell blow; or, when almost the entire amount of a life insurance goes to the undertaker for his services. WE DO NOT blame the undertaker for situations of this kind. His business is conducted for profit like most other enterprises. He seeks to satisfy his clientele. If his patrons want expensive funerals, he is perfectly willing to accommodate them. And most people want expensive funerals for their loved ones even those who can least afford them because, for some unknown reason, a beautiful casket and a long line of funeral cars are believed to reflect the esteem in which the departed one was held. It is impossible, though, to judge the esteem in which one was held during life by the cost of a funeral, be that cost one hundred or one thousand dollars. IT COSTS MONEY TO DIE; but it should not cost more than the person on whom the burden falls is able to pay. Common sense should dictate such a course; business judgment demands it. No amount of sentiment will pay an undertaker's bill. Therefore, we see nothing wrong and nothing out of place when an undertaker advertises his wares and the service he contracts to render for a prescribed amount of money. WITHOUT A DISSENTING VOICE the Tammany Board of Aldermen voted to permit the sale of Confederate Memorial coins in New York City to aid the Stone Mountain Memorial in Georgia. Alderman Shields, a Negro Democrat, was present. Arrows --- Contributed by R. A. ADAMS Defending Life's Citadel The great fortress of Verdun stood between the Great Guardians of their nation, knowing what it meant for defenders of their nation, knowing what it meant for the Germans to capture Verdun, adopted the famous slurge "They shall not pass!" The heart of man is his citadel of virtue, honor, integrity, honesty and righteousness. Man's will is the "Verdun" which must be captured by the enemy before he can enter the heart and destroy the life—the higher life. Carnal lusts and passions such as covetousness, malice, envy, greed, detrimental worldly pleasures are some of the leaders of the besieging army that would demolish man's will and take his citadel. Virtue, honor, honesty, truth, equity, altruism, benevolence and righteousness are some of the chief defenders of man's heart and his life. Pierce is the strangler; sometimes he will listen there will be heard the voices of these defenders, making up the sum of man's better nature, as they cry, "They shall not poss!" Moral Courage Few elements are more necessary than moral courage, and few are more deplorable than moral cowardice. It requires moral courage to espouse and advocate an unpopular cause; to speak in the interest of the right when that means pecuniary loss, loss of friends and perhaps loss of life; to stand for a principle when its defenders are a helpless minority; to resist the temptation toward vindictiveness when we are caused to suffer persecution and censure; but it pays to be careful and guarded by one's conviction. Moral courage will bring its own reward in cumulative strength, approval of conscience, and the genesis and development of irresistible influence for good. But moral cowardice, the antithesis of moral courage, will result in dwarfed and decadent conscience, the crucifixion of the higher elements of our higher nature, painful regret and finally, agonizing and consuming remorse. By way of illustration it would be well to contrast the cowardice of Peter, the discipline who "followed nearer" and Thomas the timid sceptic, with the cowardice of the Apostle Paul, who stood before rulers great and small, defended the doctrine which he had espoused and courageously went oven to his death for the truth. Perhaps the most shameful case of moral cowardice was that of Pontius Pilate. Procurator of Judice, who declared Jesus, "I find no fault in the unjust death of losing his position, crucified the innocent Nagarase. The Sense of Value One of the most indisputable evidences of the moral decadence of this age is the loss of the sense of value which is in evidence everywhere. In literature, the light and frivolous make the stronger appeal; in music it is so. In the selection of associates, by young people, preference is given to giggling girls, lightheaded boys, and their elders show little more sense—if any. As to dress, utility has long been sacrificed on the basis of how the selections being made with reference to appearance, to things which provoke comment and win compliments rather than those which conserve strength, preserve health and contribute to longevity. Regarding literary and musical programs the light numbers receive greater applause and provoke more encores than the serious and helpful ones, and for the most part jazz discredits and supplants classical music while comics tower over things worth while. Applying it to character the conditions might be summed up thus: truth, integrity, confidence, love, loyalty, and self-styling things more than moral character and earnish life no longer are pre-eminent in the estimation of men—and especially is this true of the younger people of this rapid, reckless generation. If our civilization is to be preserved, if it is not to "perish from the earth," there must be a restoration of the sense of value; the people must be brought to differentiate between things which are inconsequential and those which are fundamental in import and influence. Lost Confidence The lost confidence may be that of a wife in her husband or a husband in his wife. It may be the loss of confidence of a child in its parent or a parent in his child. Again, it might concern itself with the relationship between friends when one has betrayed and lost the confidence in the other. But in every case loss of confidence is deplorable. Often confidence is lost by deliberate deception, repeated lying, glaring inconsistencies, foolish indictments which arouse suspicion, manifest weakness in resisting detrimental influences—and there are many other causes from which this deplorable condition arises. Perhaps it is saying too much to assert that confidence once lost can never be regained, but the cases in which confidence is regained are the exceptions rather than the rule. Granting such a possibility it will require years of constant fidelity, the utmost frankness and sincerity and the most scrupulous straightforwardness. These conclusions are reasonable in the light of the fact that there will be required time to produce conviction of mistakes in conclusions reached, to develop faith in the genuiness of repentance and in the possession of the requisite strength to live down there in restoration the case always will be a delicate one; the foundation will be weak; and it will require but a "little slip" to destroy the superstructure. Yes, 'lost confidence may be restored; we must admit the possibility; still we stand face to face with the truth that no broken thing has ever been made as strong as it was before it was broken! In rare cases it doubtless has been done, but as a rule we had almost as well chisel on the tombstone of buried confidence the inscription—"There shall be no resurrection." Her "Big Brother" A little girl was walking down the street holding the arm of her brother, who was but a four years her senior. Her general demeanor indicated confidence — security. The little girl seemed to say, "I am with my big brother, and I am not afraid." This "big brother" was not really big; he was but little bigger than her. But in her sight and her estimation he was big, he was her hero, her protector and defender; and all this one could read in her face as she went skipping along down the street. To the writer came the thought, how will it be in after years? When he is grown up, when he is really big, when he is what he seems to be to his little sister, will he assist her, protect her, defend her, and will she, then, be able to hold to him, lean on her, and help her with their own sheer, and prayer. This little girl had dreams, wonderful dreams of which this little "big brother" is the center. She had dreams of him grown up to be a man, strong of body and mind, brilliant in achievement, worthy of her love and confidence. This little girl was a Negro girl, and I thought of the shameful indifference of Negro brothers to the welfare of their sisters: how they lavish on other women, how they wear their own shoes, and prayer that this little girl might be spared the indifference of many neglected sisters—hoped and prayed that he might be an honest-to-goods "Big Brother." The Pullman Peon A Study in Industrial Race Exploitation THE Pullman Company does not furnish transportation. Your railroad ticket pays your fare. Your Pullman ticket pays for two things only, for rent and service. The Pullman Company is a rapid-transit hotel organization. It rents seats and cots; also cabins and private cars. It provides a smoker and a public washroom. It serves no food. All the tricks which in the last decade have transmogrified the stationary hotel into an artificial community cannot be sold under locomotion. In their stead the Pullman Company offers the vigilant and artful service of the colored porter. Porter, house-man, janitor, and valet, he is the genius of the gentle art of travelers' comfort. He is chosen with great care, for his skill is all the Pullman Company sells. But for his skill you would save the rent—in the day coach. The company has a patent monopoly over our entire railroad system. It extends into Canada and Mexico. Its directorate is neatly interlocked with those of the principal carriers. Its conductors get $100 a month less than train conductors. Its army of office workers is one of the worst Pullman cars and country. The Pullman cars and country are supported by a profitable subsidiary, the Pullman Car & Manufacturing Corporation, all of whose stock is held in the Pullman Company treasury. The public pays the company's railroad tax with each ticket. All these and many other happy factors integrate the Pullman Company into one of the best-paying hotels in the world. Some of its famous fabulous. The "Dresher," a parlor car which makes four daily one-way trips between New York and Philadelphia, is so crowded that its smoking space is usually also rented. Its 36 seats bring in 75 cents a spot four times a day. Allowing for the occasional vacancies, for the usual $834.75 for depreciation, and for the charges to the carrier, the "Dresher" is the most profitable to a suite of equal floor space at the Ritz-Carlton. Of course, the Dreshers help to raise the profits from more provincial runs. The gross revenue of the Pullman Company during the last fiscal year was $90,318,318; from the sleeping-car service alone $83,927,749. Its net profits were $17,711,757; from the sleeping-car service alone $12,613,000. This is the world record for the Pullman Company makes "less than 5 per cent on a fair value of the properties." This feat in fiscal magic he achieves by omitting the dividends from the manufacturing subsidiary; by hiding in the non-itemized mazes of almost $66,000,000 for properties exorbitantly high in the sociological matrix; by sensing the company's properties (among which he does not forget to list the manufacturing subsidiary) at over $196,000,000, most of which was fertilized by constant infundation of fictitious security issues. If all the dividends paid out on wages and capitalization had been invested in a trust fund at 4 per cent compound interest this fund would now amount to about $160,000,000, every cent of which was paid out at the expense of the sleeping public and at an unconsonable wage exploitation. Such a trust fund would now hold the remaining interests and dividends enough to cut Pullman charges by 10 per cent at twice its present payroll. On the board of directors, which controls the stock, are represented the House of Morgan; the financial, industrial, public utility and insurance interests which cluster about the New York and the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank; and the Marshall Field, Vanderbilt and Pullman families. The board consists of twelve directors, among whom are Messrs. J. P. Morgan, George F. Baker see later, Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt, John J. Mitchell and Robert T. Lincoln, son of the Great Emancipator by birth but representative of the Pullman family by marriage. These twelve apostles of the Pullman Service are anxious to serve you day and night—through "George": so vigilant that he will humble "less than 5 per cent" that when "George" leaves Boston on a 23-hour run to Chicago they permit themselves—in his person—only three hours sleep, if Upper No. 1 is free. Otherwise he must steal a nap in the smoker, at the mercy of your bell. When "George" takes his car from New York to Key West on a return trip of 105 hours, he always a total of 105 hours' sleep. During the night he must shine your shoes—with his own polish. If you have any complaints against him he is summoned for investigation—on his own time. The porter who leaves New York for Washington at 12:30 a.m. has to start converting the car into a dormitory five hours earlier. For these five hours of preparatory time, he must have his minimum wage is 26 cents an hour. By indenturing him into this forced labor the company robs him of $1.30 on every trip; of $15.60 every month; of $157.20 annually; or of about 22 percent of his yearly wage of $750, which is in the range of $1,218. By indenting the minimum American family budget as computed by the Federal Government. But frequently the company generously puts the porter "in charge" of the car. Then he performs the conductor's duties for an additional $10 a month. He earns $155 a month. By this device alone the company saves millions every year. After the war the minimum and majority wage of the porter was $60 a month. The full increase granted by the War Labor Board was never paid. To meet his growing disaffection the company established the Plan of Employee Representation, over and above the Pulman Porter's Benefit Plan, called for "conference" for March. 1924. The conference conferred essentially the present work rules. It raised the minimum wage, affecting over 60 per cent of the men, to $67.50 a month. The rest of the scale was graduated up to $77.50 for those over fifteen years in the service. This scale once more exploited the popular fiction the porter endured handsome tips from the tips. A crack porter on a run, which is as rare as a general's commission in the army, may earn in tips as much as $35 a month. But the mean calculable average from tips on a standard car fluctuates around $19 a month, which the porter usually has to spend on his lay-overs away from home. Besides, the company has given each man a nominal sums of its purely nominal increases to the porters in 1924 and 1926 that in each instance the customary tip has materially decreased. Until last March a porter had to cover 11,000 miles a month—or almost 400 hours—before he received even the IS cents an hour which he now gets for delayed arrivals. Late arrivals really only show up when he next train in time. He is always subject to the sudden curse of "doubling" (taking on a special run), which cheats him of his lay-over and usually throws him out of his regular route at a final wage loss. In fact, the regulations about delayed arrivals are not mileage computations and seniority rights (which more transfer invalidates) are so full of petty jokers that neither intensity nor length of service bears a really fixed relation either to pay or status. The brutal fact is that the Pullman Company exploits the race of the white Pullman to elicit the position of the white Pullman conductor and the stilster game in race prejudice with which the company is fighting the union movement of the portors amply prove this charge. On June 25, 1925, three porters of long and faithful service, Roy Lancaster, A. L. Totterson and W. H. Des Verney, edited edition of the "Messenger," to talk things over. These four men formed the and then the nucleus of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Its prime aim is its company recognition, formation, pathetically humble improvements in wages and conditions. Randolph was chosen as the leader. He is beyond the direct vengeance of the company. He has advocated for many years the organization of cultural events. He is "Muscogee" as he means a ready means as an organ of expression. And Randolph has a compelling platform figure. Tall, handsome, somewhat aloof, immaculate, he has that rare gift of oratory which wins through cumulative persuasion, until there seemingly is no escape from his cultural conditions are built up into a limpid irrefutability with extraordinary power to arouse bitter indignation against those whom he attacks without the alightest innuendo. And his delivery is not merely simple enough to reach the untutored mind but eloquent with an entirely implicit and shrewd thoughtfulness on the whole tragic range of race and labor. Lancaster, the secretary-treasurer of the United States, often flips tireless, political, he is probably the best-known figure among the porters. Many militant yet realistic years in the service have developed his intimate knowledge of its technique into second nature. The least and latest grievance of the youngest porter in the furthest run somehow can be organized into organized into the struggle. Together these two men form a most effective team, so effective that within seven short months they have organized a little over 5,000 of the 12,000 porters, of whom almost 4,000 are now "paid up"—secretly, of course. Totten, Des Verney and Frank Crossman usually out in the field, living examples of what a complete disregard to personal danger might accomplish in organizing the unorganized. By the fall of 1925 the Pullman counterattack was in full swing. For subtle slander and devious corruption it is difficult to match its tactics in the annals of industrial struggle. There is no racial fear or prejudice or malice at either the white or the black end which the company has not been playful against, but rather actively and unconsciously. Mr. James Keeley, for many years the managing editor of the Chicago "Trilune" and now the editor of the "Pullman News," has been flooding the country with releases, imputing to the brotherhood Communist support and tendencies by all kinds of specious connections; rattting the old skeleton of socialism; the communist organization; frightening the porters with the supposed negrophilia of organized neglobular papers, even in Jim Crow territory, to display large ads on the luxuries of Pullman travel, with immediate results in their editors and new columns. "Race leaders" from all over the country will Washington, to company arrangement, to the issues of segregation; to indict this movement incidentally. Total immersion bishops warned their flocks against it. "Loyal" Uncle Tom porters did their bit among the brethren. The service became infested with stool pigeons and frame-ups. A few Pilpins were hired as a reminder of an ample labor market. TheAMPLE was the company union plan theoretically admits the right of union membership. Mr. Perry Howard, a colored politician from Mississippi and a Special United States Attorney General, found time to slip over on the company payroll. More than that, he broke the Pullman Company broke the great American Railway Union strike. It has forgotten nothing. And it has refined its knowledge a good deal. Finally the company called for a conference under the Plan of Employee Representation last March. Such virtual company agencies of small porters' locals as Columbus and porters' locals as New Yorkers presented," while the large Pennsylvania system was not. Even so, of the eighteen delegates two refused to sign the final agreement and four signed under protest. The work rules remained practically the same, which amounts to just about half the interest on the company's net surplus. The likely abolition of the Railroad Labor Board by the Parker-Watson bill required a change of tactics by the brotherhood. Instead of looking to the Railroad Labor Board for recognition, it is looking more to the six叔叔s hawks. The six叔叔s hawks pressed their sympathy; the train service brotherhoods even more strongly. To what extent they will consider themselves their black brother's keeper in a crisis remains to be seen. The segregated nature of the Pullman Service removes it from the field of other workers. The plurality of "George" among the train crews is by no means a negligible factor. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is giving the union its active support. Even the National Urban League, which submits the old U.S. Tom payoff to the black work, is favorable. Progressive Negro leaders appreciate that this is really the first significant attempt to organize the VENEREAL diseases are like the poor—with us always. Civilization seems to be a fruitful soil for the implantation and increase of this scourge. The more we moderns develop intellectually in science, arts and culture, the more promiscuous and burning become our passions and the greater the conflict with the restraining power of the will. Passion in most cases wins the conflict. In this way venereal diseases have become prevalent. Men in the past have always been the greater offenders in the spread of these diseases; yet in these modern days a great many young women of 18 to 30 are the guilty parties. Promiscuous sexual contacts are prevalent among both women and men. Here is where Christianity has broken down more than in any other of its commandments. This being so, the next best thing to do is to know whether the venereal diseases by gonorrhoea or syphilis lurk within our body. Every full-grown man or woman should have an examination once a year by his or her physician in order that these two diseases, gonorrhoea (chronic) or syphilis may be detected and treated. If someone people the poison of either one or the other of these, two diseases is present, but not noticeable. with severe bone pain, neuritis, paralysis and insanity. In fact, the germ of syphilis may invade any tissue, producing in flammation of the invaded part. The sad thing about this disease (syphilis) is the fact of its presence in the blood without it giving any symptoms in the early years and then some time later breaking out with the fury of a volcano. The disease of syphilis is transferable through the blood from parent to parent, the blood from syphilis it is also acquired, like rhoea, through sexual contact. The poison enters into the social fabric of our home life. Young men should be warned by their fathers during the years of their early life of the ill effects of this social disease. Mothers should instruct their daughters to avoid blood into womanhood of the dangers of this disease. Sex instruction by parents surely can prevent many a pitfall. Religion, science and the absolute knowledge of the danger of promiscuous sex are the most serious we have to assist the will in its conflict with human passion. Blood examination, such as a Wasserman blood test or a microscopic examination of the urine or mucous discharges of the urinary or vaginal canal, should be made, in order to be able to detect the presence or absence of the venereal poison. In syphilis the poison remains in the blood five, ten, fifteen twenty years before it begins in certain symptoms—such as tits (red eye), falling hair, ulcers on leg, chronic tonsillitis and pharyngitis, chronic dyspepsia and liver enlargement, bone infection Archibald Henry Grimke Vice-President of the National Association for the Advancement of colored People, Mr. Grimke has had a long career of distinguished service to his country and to his race. Educated at Lincoln University and obtaining a degree back from Harvard University, Mr. Grimke became editor of The Hub, a Boston newspaper, and special writer for other papers, being appointed U. S. Consul to Santo Domingo from 1894 to 1895. He was president of the American Negro Academy from 1906 to 1908, being most active as the member of the Authors' Club of London, and president of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. He is the author of a life of William Lloyd Garrison, a life of Charles Sumner, and of numerous pamphlets on abolition, African colonization and racism in this country. Mr. Grimke was awarded the Spitgarn Medal for 1919 in recognition of his notable career of service. colored worker—on a job whose very picturesqueness, popularity and ubiquitousness render it strategic. And one may hope that such attempts may prove useful, but it is at least as important to worry about the submerged working masses of the colored race as it is about New Negro tenors and novelists, whose genius after all speaks for itself and is now in shape of a masterpiece, a kind bereft of all contact or sympathy with the black worker. That the Pulman porter, with the rest of colored labor, will have to travel the road to unionism in a chain gang—of this I have little doubt. To prophesy it, the worst dragons in modern industrialism is romantic. But the chances are that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters will hang on. Indeed, its greatest asset is the raw desideration of a bank file, continuously bruised. As in the early days of the railroad brothershadows and inter in the shop crafts, it is the very desperateness of the struggle which is likely to kept the porter a moan when defeated by organization the more certain. -Reprinted from "The Nation."

Listen to the bugle-sound today And view the mighty army in array. Behold them come, the cohorts of the wrong; Behold them come, a thousand thousand strong! We are the Loyal Legions of the Right. Who are resolved to trust in God and fight! Let them come on, the hellish, howling mass; By all the gods we swear, "They shall not pass." Like Frenchmen stood at Verdun, we will stand; Like brave Leonidas with Spartan band. Or like the "Brave Six Hundred," we will go "Into the jaws of death," nor from the ice Will we our faces turn; we will not fly, But will the battle win, or fighting die! Let them come on, the hellish, howling mass; By all the gods we swear, "They shall not pass!" Amid the conflict Wrong may victor seem The prowess of his hosts appear supreme. But Right shall win, and Wrong the vanquished be- Right shall be crowned with immortality. The Lord of Hosts Himself is must'ring in Valiants to fight against the powers of sin. Let them come on, the hellish, howling mass! By all the gods we swear, "They shall not pass!" By R. A. ADAMS.
