MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH My Brother! My Brother! "I'TS NO USE, you can't buy brotherhood," said the philosophical barber, as he prepared to give my burning head a cooling haircut. "The brother has been the greatest imitator the world ever saw," the barber continued; "but in fraternalism he's missed the point trying to make personal gains at group expense." "Oh, you're all wrong," I responded. "Our fraternities are among the strongest assets the race has. Take them and the church groups away from us." I insisted vigorously, "and we wouldn't get anywhere." "Sure," the halcutter replied, with a laugh. "The numerical and financial strength is all right on the books; but how are you going to buy brotherhood at the price of fifty cents a month when the Grand United Dictator is figuring on forty-nine cents of it for his own personal use?" "Oh, I guess you're just one of those malcontents whom the lodge dropped for nonpayment of dues," I shot at him with some feeling. "None"; I'm paid up to December, 1830; he snapped back quickly, clicking the scissors with precision. "You see, it's like this," he continued; "The open gunning season is on in full right now. And there's Brother Jones calling Brother Smith a iliar, and Brother Johnson and Brother Coates had a bad scrap last night; and Brother Turner blackballed Brother Mason because he wasn't made deacon (Continued on Page 18.) Surviving Son of Lincoln Dies MANCHESTER, Vt., July 26. Robert Todd Lincoln, son and the last survivor of the family of President Lincoln, died peacefully at Hildene, his Summer home, last night. His death was discovered by a servant, who went as usual to call Mr. Lincoln to breakfast. Dr. C. M. Campbell of Manchester Centre, the family physician, declared death due to cerebral hemorrhage induced by arterio sclerosis. While Mr. Lincoln had not been robust for about three years, his recent health had been better than it was a year ago, and he had enjoyed a motor ride practically every day since he came to Manchester about the middle of May. He took his usual ride yesterday afternoon. Mr. Lincoln, who would have been 83 years old on Sunday next, first came to Manchester in 1863, when his mother spent much of the Summer here at the Equinox House with Mrs. Abner Doubleday, wife of General Doubleday. He acquired extensive property in Manchester in 1862 and built his Summer home, Hildene, where he entertained many distinguished visitors, including President Taft. During Mr. Lincoln's early visits to Manchester he was President of the Pullman Company and was actively at work and gave up little time to recreation. As years went on he gradually retired more and more from business and took up golf, playing every afternoon. There will be simple funeral services at Hildene today for the family only, and the body will be placed in the vault at Dellwood Cemetery. Later, at the convenience of the family, burial will take place at Springfield, Ill., where President Lincoln is buried. EX-SLAVE, 100, DIES.

For nearly 15 minutes the policemen had to battle with a large crowd of sympathizers of the alleged "Number King," John Diamond, 43, 246 W. 137th street, and his alleged lieutenants in order to take the prisoner to the West 135th street police station. In the raid two adding machines, with five extra rolls of paper, money bags and a leather hand bag packed with slips were confiscated. Money in envelopes ranging in amounts from one cent to five dollars, said to have been wagered on the exchange quotation, was also found. The raid on the apartment was as the result of an investigation by the Inspector Ryan's office. Persons supposed to be Diamond's runners were trailed by Officers Joseph Haesar, Phillip Ryan and Peter Reilly. On the second floor at 60 West 124d street, according to the police, they gained entrance through the rear window off the fire escape. The front door was barricaded and re-enforced with five different locks. After placing several of the persons who were in the room at the time under arrest, the officers stated that they concealed themselves in the place and arrested the other collectors and runners as they reported. When the prisoners were arraigned late Monday morning before Magistrate Francis McQuade in the Washington Heights Court, each of the defendants was held in $500 ball for a further hearing tomorrow, with the exception of Diamond. Upon the request of Assistant District Attorney Schwartz Diamond was held in $1,000 ball. All of them were represented by Attorney James J. Low, with offices at 331 Madison avenue.

The general feeling of indignation has been enhanced by reports that considerable reinforcements will be called to the occupied area, including large contingents of Negro troops. It is argued that the existing atmosphere of oppression and the opportunities for dangerous friction between the French troops and the German inhabitants are proportionately intensified by the presence of Negro soldiers. ARGUMENT OVER DOG LEADS TO BRUTAL SLAYING Woman Living at 1 West 137th Street Arrested and Is Held Charged With Sunday Homicide A controversy over a dog resulted in the slaying of Lemmie Fortune, 42, 60 West 142nd street, Sunday night. Bleeding to death from wounds inflicted by Anna Webb, 40, I West 137th street, Fortune was found in the hallway of the 137th street building. Groans of the stabbed man attracted the attention of tenants in the building. They rushed to the fourth floor where he was lying in a puddle of blood.

Patrolman Boshammer of the West 135th street station served a summons upon Thomas last week after seeing a couple pay one dollar and fifty cents for admission into the place. Attorney Alken Pope, representing Thomas, in asking for a dismissal of the complaint, which was drawn after the hearing on the summons, explained to the court that the money was merely a subscription fee that each of the persons attending the affair had promised to pay. The dance was not public, he said. The counselor's motion being denied, he waived the examination of his client, and he was held for Special Sessions. Ball was then set for Thomas at $100. the flow of blood, but in vain. Seeking the assailant, the detectives were informed that the man had been in an altercation with Anna Webb. Upon placing her under arrest, she admitted the crime, the officers said. Fortune is alleged to have gone to the woman's apartment to get a dog he left there Saturday. According to the detectives, the woman refused to turn the dog over to him and during the altercation that followed she threw a vase at Fortune, driving him into the hallway, it is alleged. While he was making a desperate attempt to escape from the further attacks of the woman, it is charged that she rushed upon him and the blades of a pair of scissors were sunk into his groin.

Since King's release evidence is being sought by a special investigator for the victim's family to substantiate their belief that at the bottom the shooting of the young man was precipitated because of a love affair with another young woman. King was arraigned in the Washington Helights Court Saturday morning, charged with violation of the Sullivan Law. He was held in $500 ball for the Special Sessions. A surety company furnished a bond and he went back to his wife and home in West 138th street.

Only members of family and close friends attended the services. WRITES NOTE TO SON. Burning love for his wife, despite her relations with Bagley, prompted King to write his son from the Tombs, urging him to be devoted to his mother. According to Alexander Sidney Rosenthal, counselor for King, the note read in part: "My Dear Son: "I feel that you should not be hard on Frances because of the wrong she did. She will, no doubt, go to her people in North Carolina, where she can live her life down. facts to the jury in behalf of his client, Mrs. King, who was accompanied by several women, shed tears.

VICTIM'S MOTHER BITTER OVER ACTION. Heartbroken over the fate of her only and devoted son, Mrs. L. R. Bagley, in her modestly furnished home in West 132d street, expressed bitter feeling towards the authorities for their action Saturday evening. Feeling that she had been wounded and that justice had not been done, Mrs. Bagley asserted that despite the fact that King had been freed by law he was still a prisoner in the sight of God. Her bitterness became more intense when her conversation drifted to Mrs. King. INTRODUCED AS "MISS KING." She told of her first meeting with the woman in her home over three years ago. Her son brought her there and introduced her as "Miss King," she said. Pretending that she was interested in the welfare of children, "Miss King" urged Mrs. Bagley and her two daughters to attend several meetings which she was taking part in, Mrs. Bagley stated. 20 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections SHE in $1,000 OSDE Postal ying Husband's Victim DEC. 31, 1809, at the Post Office MARCH 2, 1879.

The woman's husband is being grilled by authorities after his admission that he knew his wife had been drinking. The man said, according to the police, he tried to keep his wife out of another apartment in the building where there was a "little barroom" all during the previous day. On forcing her to get out of the place an argument between them ensued, according to the police. Upon a statement made by the junior of the building, Luther Powell, it was first believed that the woman had been murdered. He said that he heard a scuffle in the courtyard shortly after 6 o'clock and when he came out of the basement Powell said that he discovered the woman's body lying face downward on the ground. Following an examination made by Dr. Gutman of Harlem Hospital, which revealed that death was not as a result of an attack, the murder clue was disregarded.

Pool Room Fight May Prove Fatal Argument Started Over Forty-Cent Bill After Half Hour Game During a fight over a 40 cent bill for a game of pool, George Hensey, 622 W. 163d street, was slashed with a razor about the face and neck in Powell's billiard academy, 2495 Seventh avenue. Saturday night. Although Hensey may die at any minute as a result of the loss of blood, his assailant has not been apprehended. According to witnesses questioned by Policeman Walton of the W. 153th street station, who was on traffic duty at 145th street and Seventh avenue, Hensey's assailant is a neighborhed character known only as "Jellyroll." He escaped in the confusion that followed the poolroom fight. Hensey and "Jellyroll" played a series of pool games at a rear table in Powell's, and after about a half hour's play threw down their cues. There had been several disputes over the score of the game during the half hour of play, but players at nearby tables paid no attention to the two young men because they believed the dispute would be settled peaceably. According to one witness, the two youths grappled and fell to the floor. Hensey broke away from his assailant, but was pursued to the front of the poolroom. "Jelly-roll" ran after him with a razor in his hand and as Hensey reached the stairway of the first floor his pursuer slashed him three times across the left cheek and neck. TWO DROWNED SWIMMING.

Judge Spindle of the Police Court on July 15 ruled again against efforts to herd the Negroes of Norfolk in restricted areas. This decision was rendered in the case of Samuel Costen, a colored man, who recently sought to move his family into a house located at Mapleton and Majestic avenues, a so-called white district. A warrant was issued against Costen on the complaint of white neighbors, charging violation of the segregation ordinance. David H. Edwards, attorney and president of the Nortok Branch of the National Association for the enhancement of Colored Pepe, appeared for Mr. Costen. Mr. Edwards was assisted by B. J. Barnes. For the plaintiffs appeared John B. Jenkins and J. Louis Broudy, who contended that the Norfolk law was not affected by the United States Supreme Court decision of 1917 in the Louisville case, as the law under consideration was identical with the one in New Orleans, which the Supreme Court of Louisiana has upheld, which case is now pending in the U. S. Supreme Court through the work of the New Orleans Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Edwards made a brilliant argument, contending that the law did not differ in its essentials from the Louisville ordinance; that it bridged the constitutional rights of the state and that the vision which allows the occupancy of a home in a white neighborhood by a colored family on consent of the majority of white residents of that section and vice versa were an improper exercising of legislative authority. Following the submission of briefs by attorneys on both sides, Judge Spindle rendered his decision declaring the law invalid, unconstitutional and without effect. Judge Spindle's previous decision was rendered when Mr. Edwards prosecuted a white merger between two in a Negro neighborhood. The case was dismissed on the ground that the law was invalid. It is believed the two adverse decisions will end attempts at segregation in Norfolk by this means. Alleged Payroll Snatcher Still Held John Johnson, 43, 234 W. 141st street, charged with having held up and robbed John Weber, contractor, white, 60 W. 115th street, was held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate McQuade in the Heights Court, Wednesday, to await the action of the Grand Jury. According to Weber, he was leaving a top floor apartment at 101 W. 140th street, where he had paid off some of his workmen, and was carrying $455 of payroll money in a brief case, when a man stepped from the shadows and snatched the hag from him. The thief ran up stairs to the roof and crossed over-the-roofs of several houses, disappearing before Weber could get help. Errand Boy.Held for Theft From Druggist Charged with stealing $84 from a safe at the drugstore in which he was employed as 'errand boy, 18-year-old Raymond. Stanley, 18 Bradhurst avenue, pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny, Saturday, in Washington Heights. Court. He was held in $1,000 ball by Magistrate McQuade. According to Barnet Kirschstein, white, owner of the drugstore at 2344 Seventh avenue, the youth was hired as errand boy two months ago and was trusted in collecting bills.

C., July 26.—Lifting water laundry in and out of portable tubs makes wash day the hardest of all in many rural homes, says the latest publication on home laundering, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, which contains not a few hints for reducing this task to a minimum. Pipe the wafer to the tubs by means of a flexible rubber hose, if possible, and by all means siphon off the waste water with a hose when ready to empty the tubs. To make such a siphon, fill a short length of the hose with water, close the ends and invert it, placing one end under the surface of the water and the other at a lower level. Open without removing the shorter end from under the surface of the water. A faucet soldiered into the end of the wash boiler facilitates emptying it.

Pack in ice and salt for an hour. If possible. Serve very cold with plain or whipped cream. FASHION HOUSEHOLD HINTS Household Lore In removing basting threads cut them every few inches so that you do not have to pull a very long thread out at one time. You are very apt to leave holes in the goods if you pull out long threads. To prevent lamp chimneys from cracking, put them into a pan of cold water, gradually heat water until it boils, then allow it to cool. To wash silk crepes or georgettes use warm water and white soap. Do not rub, but squeeze the garment through good suds. Rinse several times and iron on the wrong side when the garment is partly dry. When making sheets if you make a wide hem on each end they will wear longer. Always rinse silk stockings in water of the same heat as the suds in which they were washed. Clean white kid slippers with any mild soap and sprinkle them with talcum powder. When dry, rub off with a soft cloth. This makes them retain that new look. Clippings An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit. —Pliny the Younger. Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle. —Epictetus. Moud—Did you hear what your friend Edith said about you? Marie-No. I was in the other group talking about her. —Boston Evening Transcript. Another reason why the modern mother has more time for bridge is because she doesn't have to waste any of it letting down the hems in the skirts of her growing daughters. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Hens lay best when their houses are lighted by electricity; cows give more milk when listening to jazz. The thing the farm needs is more night clubs. Then the hired men might stay. —Columbia (S. C.) State. The Golden Rule works like gravitation. —Dole. Do not let thoughts of the horrors of Hell prevent you from doing wrong; nor the peace and joy, to be had in Heaven persuade you to do right; but do right as though you were ignorant of your reward for doing right, or your damnation for doing wrong. In other words, do right because it is right to do right and not because of fear. W. M. K. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1926 THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT I seems to me, with apologies to Heywood Broum, that marriage is an important thing in Harlem. Licenses issued at the Municipal Building for Negroes of Manhattan range from thirty to a hundred a week. Multiply these figures by two and you will find out how many people are directly concerned. An interesting discovery made through the June-July licenses is that the women, for the most part, were in their late twenties or thirties. A few of them were from one to ten years older than the men they were to marry; others of whom were many years younger than their to-be husbands. With a few exceptions, one member of each couple had been married before. Then, too, according to some of the licenses, the fashionable thing to do is to marry a man whose surname is the same as yours.—T. E. B.

On the shelves of the University of Chicago Library, with the classics of literature and the latest words of science, reposes a volume solely concerned with the well-being of the "hot dog." It is the thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lee M.

When you are pressured for time, set a small dish of hot water in the oven and your potatoes will bake much faster. Beets are excellent for making new blood, and should be eaten raw. Grate them fine and serve—as a salad—with lettuce and a dressing of oil and leman juice. Meringues should be cooked in a very slow oven, and should be watched carefully. When making omelets allow one tablespoonful of cream or hot water for each egg. When boiling a cabbage or a cauliflower, tie up a crust of bread in a muslin bag and place it in the saucepan. This will prevent the smell from pervading the house. When baked or boiled puddings are sufficiently solid, turn them out of the dish in which they are baked; bottom uppermost, and strew over them a finely sifted sugar. Fashion Hints Hats. The moire hat faced with velvet is one of the newest fads. Since the models combine youthfulness and elegance, they are smart. A very large one trimmed with grosgrain and a crystal pin is the kind to wear. Skirts. The smart yoke skirt of white wool crepe adds exceptional charm to the wearer. The yoke makes the skirt fit perfectly, and the boxpleats across the front give freedom as well as fashion. Morning Frocks. Printed crepe de chine with long sleeves makes a chic morning frock. Even a washable striped crepe de chine—the stripes woven into the fabric—with short sleeves, makes a pleasing frock. ENGLEWOOD WOMAN HURT IN COLLISION Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, age 50, of Englewood, N.

Sara Washington Feet Form Frowns Due to excessive heat, many persons are troubled with tired, swollen, burning and perspiring feet. When you suffer from foot trouble, it is plainly evident upon your contenance. Your facial expression is everything but what it should be. You feel miserable all over, and certainly show it with your disagreeableness. Aching feet sap the very life and gaiety from a person at a party or any social gathering. The sufferer is in constant misery, and relief is obtained only after the shoes have been removed. Some of the most important suggestions to follow during the torrid months are to change one's shoes daily; bathe the feet and change stockings twice every day, and above all wear comfortable shoes—not shoes that are comfortable to the eye—but comfortable to the feet. Besides corns and bunions there are other causes for aching feet. New shoes, or tight shoes, or poorly-fitting shoes, or stiff, unyielding shoes are responsible for the formation of blisters. It is not uncommon to have blisters when an old pair of shoes is exchanged for new ones.

SEVEI there may be blisters and in the "web" or the deep angle of the toes there, may be fissures or cracks. Rubbing the feet too vigorously with a rough towel may hurt the skin. Standing too long or walking too far may damage the tissues of the feet. Possibly the dye of the stocking or the chemicals used in tanning the leather, of the shoes may affect the skin. It is certainly true that stockings which are full of holes, or too tight, may result in harm. Excessive sweating of the feet softens the skin and leaves it more liable to irritation. Likewise, undue dryness of the skin predisposes to cracking. What To Do. If you suffer from perspiring feet, change your shoes and stockings daily. Bathe the feet, in cold water twice, a day and dry with a towel, and dust them with a powder consisting of equal parts of cornstarch, boracle acid and stereate of zinc. Once a day rub with a solution of ten per cent salicylic acid in alcohol. (Note: These solutions and powders can be easily obtained at any drug store at about 50 cents.) If a blister forms, clean the feet thoroughly with soap and water. Wash your hands perfectly clean. Sterilize a needle by passing it through a name of a match and wipe it off with a piece of clean guaze or cotton. Prick the blister open at the edge. Press out the fluid, being careful not to break the skin over the blister. Then paint the blister and surrounding parts with iodine. Cover with a thinad of guaze and strap in place with adhesive tape. If the skin is cracked between the toes, swab out the crack or fissure, with iodine three per cent solution, or tincture of benzoin.

EIGHT Threaten Jamaica Home Owners N.A.A.C.P.Hastens to the Rescue of New Residents in Fast Growing Town A new case where attempts were made to prevent a colored family from occupying its home and in which the N. A. A. C. P. rendered aid developed in Jamaica, L. I. during the past week Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Jefferson purchased a home recently at 11034 173rd street, Jamaica, L. I., moving into their new residence on June 2. After occupying the home for six weeks they received a letter signed "Ku Klux Klan" ordering them to move. The case was reported to the N. A. A. C. P. by Mr. Engene Kinnickle Jones of the National Urban League. The Advancement Association immediately took up the matter with Police Commissioner McLaughlin, Mayor Walker and with the United States postal authorities, inasmuch as the threat against Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson passed through the mails. Most of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson's neighbors welcomed them into the neighborhood and are exceedingly friendly. The agitation against them, according to indications, is being stirred up by a retired actress, who lives some distance from the Jefferson home. Another factor in the case is believed to be due to the fact that the Jefferson home is attractive residence in the neighborhood. Mrs. Jefferson was for seven years connected with the W. Y. C. at Washington, while Mr. Jefferson is employed by the Pullman Company. Brooklyn Pastor Calls Business Men Together The Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, called a conference of the business men and women of the borough at his church on Monday evening, July 26. It was largely attended. Some of the points stressed by Dr. Brown were: "We have money, but we do not lend it." "Our money is invested, but we do not get the dividends." Dr. Brown and others discussed ways and means to change this condition. He urged rachael sollary, confidence counselor, to encourage of all race entropies, studying business efficiency, and administration, and financing. He urged the establishment of banks, trust companies, bond and mortgage companies, and other enterprises that will help us help ourselves. Mrs. Williams' Steak Calls Out Fire Apparatus Mrs. Hattie Williams, of 370 Hudson avenue, bought a nice juicy tenderlou steak on Thursday afternoon, and all the trimmings that go with a nice steak. It was a very sultry day, and Mrs. Hattie retired to a couch for a few minutes after placing the steak on her stove. The result was a fire alarm, much fire apparatus, and much excitement in the neighborhood. All this was because Mrs. Williams had gone to sleep and the steak had burnt up. Some small boys were passing and they ran to a policeman, and informed him that the house was on fire. The officers turned in an alarm, and in a few moments fire apparatus was coming from all directions, for this is in the downtown section, and there are several fire companies in the neighborhood. Mrs. Williams had told me from a peaceful slumbers, took the steak off the stove, and there was nothing for the firemen to do. Resolving to be more careful next time she betook herself to the nearest butcher shop and calmly ordered another steak.

Grace won all the way, getting home the cleaner and more effective blows. It was only Darden's ability to assimilate punishment that allowed him to remain vertical. In the first he was sent to one knee by a hard right over the heart, but was up at once. From then he was the recipient of a varied assortment of shots to the head and body, but took them without flinching. Grace won the first three frames easily with the four even, Darden up the backside during the running, seven cannons but could not get past Graces' guard often enough to win any other frame. Both lads were warned for fouling, Grace receiving a low blow in the eighth and Darden taking a low left in the tenth. Darden sealed 144% with Grace. 148. Would Bar This Home-Seeker Who Offers to Put Down $5,000 Cash for House in Floral Park, L. I. FLORAL PARK, July 26.—If the bon ton residential section on Tulip avenue is invaded by colored residents in the near future, it will not be the fault of O. P. Brion of the Arthur H. Goldsmith Realty Company, who has just turned down an offer of $15,000 for one of these homes because the would-be purchaser is colored. A fine loking couple motored out to Floral Park from Brooklyn this week to purchase a home here. The man was light-colored while his wife was many shades lighter, and she was as fair as any of the ladies living in this restricted residential section. After seeing the house in question the man, who seemed to be prosperous, said: "I'll take it, and will make the first payment of $5,000 as soon as the necessary papers can be drawn." Buyers of fine homes are not any too numerous at this season of the year, and it was a big temptation to Mr. Brion, but he brushed it aside and replied: "Sorry, my friend, very sorry, but I can't sell you this house." Why? asked the astonished man who had the money to buy. "Oh you know the reason, and there is no money for a living you," said Mr. Brion, sorrowfully. "I suppose it's because I am colored," sighed the man, "but I want to tell you that you I am living now in Brooklyn there are nearly all white people on that street and very few colored people." "Sorry," said Mr. Brion again, "but I can't sell you this house." "Oh, I've been up against propositions like this before and have always overcome them. So don't be surprised if you see us moving in here within three weeks." And so Mr. Brion is wondering—just what will happen.

Perry, the noted criminal lawyer, will plead the case of Arthur Darlington, 32, of Sumter street, who is alleged to have shot and killed Roscoe Robinson, 38, at Dean street and Rochester avenue, on Friday, July 30. The case will come to trial in the County Court. It is reported that Mr. Perry will enter a plea of self-defense. Darlington, who has the reputation of being a very quiet young man, shot Robinson, who is alleged to have been a so-called "bad man." after Robinson, who was supposed to be a friend, had beat him several times. When he beat him the third time and knocked him down, Robinson is reported to have stood over him in a menacing manner and said that he would kill Darlington. Darlington is alleged to have drawn a revolver and shot Robinson. He made no effort to scare. A preliminary hearing was held in the homicide court before Magistrate Steers, who held Darlington without bail on a charge of murder. His friends came to his rescue and secured the services of Counsellor Perry.

Phone Pictures 3465 Wr. Ms. Sirwent Building Corporation Meeting With Success in Jamaica About a year ago the E. and J. Dorf Lumber Company experimented by building four houses in Union Hall street for colored. These houses were listed with various colored and white brokers. Before they were actually completed, they were all sold through the William J. Weir real estate office. This encouraged the E. and J.

Dorf Company has cornered him sole agent for all their buildings now under construction. They have also incorporated their business under the name of Sirwent Building Corporation. With Mr. Weir at the helm of their selling force, the Sirwent Building Corporation has now launched out to erect 20 new houses in the Merrick Park section of Jamaica, and the corporation has informed the writer that Mr. Weir has already sold eight of these houses, which are nowhere near completion. These last 20 houses are said to be very much improved to those that were first built, and are being sold at the same price.

Shepard, president of the North Carolina College at Durham, N. C., was enthusiastic over the success of the first year of the school as a Grade A college. Dr. Shenard said: "The first year of the college was one of many changes in plans, equipment and class schedule the first few months, but we met every issue and have had the unstinted support of the board of trustees and that of many friends North and South. "Our first class to graduate numbered 4S. They go forth to make their mark in the business and professional arena. They have the love and good-will of their alma mater. We are using our vacation in supervising plans for new buildings and equipment. We were greatly encouraged by the gift of Hon. B. N. Duke of Durham and New York, which amounts to $50,000; other friends in the South and North have also given liberally for the expense of new buildings, which we hope to have completed within a few months. "The college work is out of the experimental stage. We expect to double our student body another year. Our faculty comes from leading colleges and universities and each teacher is a specialist in his line. The beautiful and healthy location of the college at Durham is within itself a wonderful attraction to the young men and women in search of an education in the finest city of the South."

Long Island Home Owners Advised to Hold On "What is sometimes referred to as a boom in Long Island real estate is nothing more than the result of a natural and consistent growth and development that has been going on almost unnoticed for more than twenty years," says E. T. O'Loughlin, a former park commissioner of Brooklyn. "My advice to present holders of Long Island real estate would be to buy and sit tight, tell the truth and not exaggerate the facts. This coupled with the continued growth of Long Island and the constant improvements will result in profitable investments. "The future of Long Island is being made today by the congested conditions in New York. Kings and other counties of Long Island must be prepared to meet the increasing demands for suburban homes that the coming years will bring from the people of the crowded sections."

JULIUS BLEDSOE, haritone, who recently cancelled a European concert tour, has signed a contract at $1,000 a week with Arthur Hopkins, producer of "Deep River," an opera which is now in rehearsal and will be given here in the fall. Mr. Bledsoe, in the role of the Voodoo King in this colossal opera, is the first Negro to appear in such a capacity in the operatic field in America. The Ubrieto for "Deep River" was written by Laurence Stallings of The New York World, who helped to write "What Price Glory?" and "The Big Parade." W. Frank Hartling, who wrote "The Life of St. Agnes" for the Chicago Opera Company in which Rosa Raish was starred last season, is the composer. Arthur Hopkins, the producer of this opera, is one of the best known producers in New York. "What Price Glory?" was produced by him. "Deep River" will have a chorus of about one hundred voices, and three conductors using the baton at the same time. The music in great shading, and generally well produced. He seldom cramps his tones, but sings with relaxation and with the most open use of his media. Strange, his diction in foreign tongues is often more clean-cut than his English. Mr. Bledsoe came to New York in 1919 to enter Columbia Univer. language, where he has done work in language, philosophy, sciences and medicine. His vocal training in New York City was begun with Mme. Marie Selika of the Martinique Music School. 183 West 38th Street. Since then he has worked with several other vocals masters. The New York Evening Post in October, 1925, said: In a recital at Town Hall Saturday evening, Mr. Bledsoe's rich voice was heard to advantage in songs of his own race, and especially in one which he himself added to the program, a heritage from his grandfather Cobb, who lives in Waco, Texas, called "Home. Home. Home." Before coming to New York, Mr. Bledsoe toured Texas as a concert pianist. His singing tours carried him into the following states: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and others. Another criticism on Mr. Bledsoe's voice by Glenn Dillard Gunn of Chicago Herald-Examiner might show why he should succeed in the role as "Voodoo King." It is as follows: I believe Bledsoe combines art and native gift in fuller measure than any of the several interesting singers of his race now before the public. His voice is appealing in quality, ample in power and range and is used with consummate skill. During his free hours, Mr. Bledsoe is working on repertoire in preparation for a late winter or early spring concert tour. (Protected by the K. N. F.

His father, the late Henry Bledsoe, was a tenor; his mother, the late Mrs. Jessie Cobb Bledsoe, a soprano. His first musical appearance, under the direction of his aunt, Mrs. M. O. Spiller, was at the age of five. The credit for Mr. Bledsoe's musical success goes to his mother. Mr. Bledsoe was educated at Central Texas College of Waco, Texas, and at Bishop College of Marshell, Texas, where he received his bachelor of arts degree, finished the course in plano, composition and history given there, conducted the choir and taught for two years. At Union University, Richmond, Va., he had charge of the choir, and did post-graduate work in the school. In commenting on Mr. Bledsoe's voice, after a recent recital in the East High School Auditorium, Columbus, Ohio, The Columbus Evening Despatch said in part: "A voice and personality, new to the concert stage and so different from all others, that they may be styled Literally unique, belong to the Negro baritone, Julius Bledsoe." He has a baritone voice of mellow quality, capable of Used Cars A special selection of used cars, which have been thoroughly reconditioned, has been placed on sale at unusually low prices for immediate disposal.

Dr. Du Bols, according to the New York World of July 19, has been signally honored in being asked to contribute to the Encyclopedia Britannica a chapter on Negro Literature in the United States.

American motorists headed for Canada for cool drinks, admiration of scenery, etc., this summer must not forget their State registration cards. Thousands of Americans are being turned back at the borders because identification as owner and operator of their automobiles is not complete. The State registration license card, giving full information concerning the automobile and its owner, must be turned over to the inspector if the tourist is to stay in Canada less than twenty-four hours and return to the United States by the same port of entry. Otherwise, the inspectors will issue a tourist's license good for thirty days on payment of 50 cents. The registration card and other information must be displayed, however, in order to obtain the license. A. PHILIP RANDOLPH TALKS ON RADIO A ST. PAUL, Minn., July 25--A. Philip Randolph, editor of the Messenger and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, delivered an address over the radio station here Tuesday night. His subject was "The Negro and Labor." Editor Randolph spoke on the same subject before the faculty and student body of the University of Minnesota. His address was well received and his hearers showed their keen interest in the subject by asking numerous questions at the close of the address. Hubert Harrison Addresses Bronx Rotary Club on "New Americanism' Hubert Harrison Addresses Bronx Rotary Club on "New Americanism' In the dining room of the Concourse Plaza Hotel, the Bronx, one hundred and fifty successful business and professional men listened to a remarkable appeal for better race relations when Dr. Hubert H. Harrison, staff lecturer of the New York Board of Education, addressed them last week on "New Americanism." The occasion was the weekly luncheon of the Bronx Rotary Club, of which Harrison was the invited and honored guest. The chairman for the occasion was Professor Alexander Haring of New York University. The lecturer was greeted with thunderous applause when he insisted that "the Negro is the touchstone of all our democratic pretensions in America, of the sincerity of our religious professions and the quality of our humanity. For these things America may get great credit—until the dark figure of the Negro comes into the picture." It is inspiring fact which he had observed in "our America" was not any great achievement, but the great experiment and democracy which is now going on and which is unique in the history of the world. "Short Ballot" to Be Used Nov. 2 Cuts Elective Offices in Half—Prohibition Referendum The so-called "short ballot" amendment to the State Consti "For England or Germany or France to be growing into democracy is comparatively a simple thing. For in those older lands the inhabitants are generally of the same stock. But here America we have truly the hearts of all the ages, assembling through three centuries from the ends of all the earth, and clouding clouds of culture that are diverse and conflicting. And the great American experiments to determine for future we can make out the welter of races and nations one people, one culture, one democracy. It is confessedly a hard task, but it can be done, and the grounds of that faith rest on the known facts of the present and the past." That the Negro was successfully struggling toward the light is a fact calling for commendation of all white Americans; for the general advance of the nation is, he said, made up of the continued progress of each of the black people. The grassroots have esteem sponge and the children's teeth are set on edge. Such was the old Hebrew statement of the doctrine of social consequences. You and I have seen this truth tested in the history of our common country. The founders of our democracy denied the implications of their own doctrine when they compromised with slavery cast out of the Declaration of Independence the cause in which Tennessee Jefferson condemned that institution. "They paltered with evil for the present ease—and their children paid for it with five million warring soldiers, a million casualties, hundreds of millions of dollars and a hated between the sections which is but imperfectly disguised today. The question for your race relations is whether we will get together now or be bequeath to our great grand children the legacy of embittered race relations. And when it is so put the common sense of America can have but a single answer." HAMILTON FISH SEEKS RENOMINATION GARRISON, N. Y. July 26-. Major Hamilton Fish, Jr. Representative in Congress from the 26th Congressional District, embracing Dutchess, Putnam and Orange Counties, has put in circulation petition looking to his designation as candidate for renomination. This is regarded as disposing of rumors that he was in the field for the Republican nomination for Governor. The prospect is that Major Fish will run without opposition in the primaries. Two years ago he was opposed for the nomination by District Attorney J. D. Wilson of Orange County. Now Mr. Wilson is a member of the Republican board by Representative Fish to fill vacancies in the event that for some reason he should withdraw from the race. Starts Metered Taxi Service on Staten Island Staten Island's first metered taxicab is now in service. Hitherto to the borough has been void of such conveyances except for visiting cars from Manhattan. Archie Poole, already claiming the largest taxi service on the island, is also instigator of the cab system using meters, and the experiment, as he terms it, may result in an extension in their use. Poole now operates an office at St. George and another at Port Richmond, having seven 7-passenger cars, three 5-passenger cars, and the new metered cap. "Short Ballot" to Be Used Nov. 2 The so-called 'short ballot' amendment to the State Constitution adopted by the people at the general election last fall will cut almost in half the number of people who voted by the people on November 2 next. Nevertheless, in New York City the voters will be called upon to vote on a full score of offices. Here is the list: United States Senator. Members of Congress. Two members of the Court of Appeals. Three justices of the Supreme Court in the First. District, two now serving on the Appellate Division. Seven judges of the City Court. One judge of the Court of General Sessions. State Senators. Assemblymen. Referendum on Prohibition. In addition, the so-called prohibition referendum will in all probability overshadow in interest all save the election of United States Senator and Governor and may even eclipse these. It is a question having to legal significance, since the results will not be legally binding. The question in brief, should Congress modify the Volstead act in such a way as to permit the states to define intoxicating liquors for themselves? As a result of the adoption of the short ballot amendment, this year for the first time the people will not elect a Secretary of State, a State Engineer or a State Treasurer. The functions performed by these officers in the past will in the future be discharged by appointive officers. For this reason and because the executive authority of the Government has been concentrated in the state, which, with the exception of three, will be appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate, the Gubernatorial election is considered of extraordinary importance this year. The three exceptions referred to are the Department of Audit and Control, presided over by the Comptroller, who remains an elective official; the Department of Law, headed by the Attorney General, also an elective officer, and the Department of Education, which is controlled by the Board of Regions. The Governor of the State will have an appointive political power, and conceive a legislative power, that will far exceed the authority of any preceding Governor, and that is one of the reasons why every Democratic political leader is determined that Gov. Smith shall again be a candidate this fall. High Court Vacancies. The list of offices to be filled this fall includes two members of the Court of Appeals, of whom the Court of Justice now filled by Frank H. Hiscock of Syracuse, whose term expires and who cannot be renominated because of the constitutional age limit. If the Republicans and Democrats nominate present members of the Court of Appeals for the Chief Justiceship, still another vacancy on the highest court will be created by the Court of Appeals whose term expires and who cannot be renominated is Chester B. McLaughlin of Port Henry. The three 'Supreme Court Justices of the First District whose forms expire are Charles L. Guy, William P. Burr and John Proctor Clarke, the latter two now serving on the Appellate Division. The term of Max S. Levine of the Court of General Sessions will also expire. The last session of the Legislature completely revised the City Court of New York and increased its members from 10 to 15. The BUY THE FOUNDATION FOR Your Own Home IN BEAUTIFUL RAHWAY, N. J.

This announcement from the school's office will come as a disappointment to the hundreds of citizens of this section who have attended the Chautauqua exercises of the school year. Principal W. R. Valentine, who had been the directing force at these exercises, recently salted for Finland with the delegation of Y. M. C. A. men to attend the international conference of Y. M. C. A.'s at Helsingtons. This year would have marked the annual Chautauqua for the school as Mr. Valentine established these programs his first year at Bordentown and has continued them ever since. FINDS HIS CLOTHES IN PAWN, MAN HELD A nineteen year old youth was held without ball. Thursday, when he was arraigned in the Heights Court on a charge of burglary. He was identified as Mose Holmes, 200th Fifth avenue, and Detective Bauerschmidt, the home of Isdore Pinder, white, at 301 W, 148th street, was robbed two weeks ago while Pinder and his family wore out. Pinder gave a description of clothing, valued at $200, that had been stolen and told Bauerschmidt that $50 in cash had also been taken by the burglaries, who immigrated the front door and escaped by way of the police. Bauerschmidt found some of the missing clothing in a Harlam pawnshop and through it traced the youth, he said. GIVES BIBLE LECTURE. W. R.

While theatre after theatre has been closed on Broadway in the past two weeks, the Columbia, where the all-colored cast has been presenting "Lucky Sambo," continues to keep open and is so pleased with the prosperity of the offering that it plans to present the revenue up to the opening of the Fall season, when advance bookings of other productions will force the closes off the theatre. But the show will be in other cities throughout the coming season, the Columbia Amusement Company having booked "Lucky Sambo" for its chain of forty theatres in the United States and Canada. Dramatic critics of the metropolitan papers have been unanimous in praising, the revue since its premiere at the Columbia early in May. They have pointed out how a cast of eighty dash through two and a half hours of melody and mirth and amazing dancing, twice daily, except Sundays, when no performances are given in summer months, "The Big Parade," a gorgeous, patriotic spectacle, is but one of many features of this revue of two acts and fourteen scenes. Incidentally, not only is the cast made up entirely of colored performers, but the orchestra, directed by James Vaughan, is likewise. Specialty numbers are given in the course of the performance by Julia Moody, Sherman Dirkson, the Three Dixie Songbirds, Berlena Blanks, Hilda Perlen and Amanda Randolph, the Five Crackerjacks, Medelan Bell, Harry Jones, Raymond Thomas, Tash Hammed and Clifford Carter, Phillips and Cassidy.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1926 Miss Julia Moody A The Charming Julia Continues to Score With "Lucky Sambo" at the Columbia Theatre "Liza" Has Big Opening at the Lafayette Whitman Sisters to Hold the Boards at Conclusion of Miller Show at the Same House It looked like the early days of the same show down at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday afternoon when Irvin C. Miller's "Liza" swung into action with almost all the old stars. The big musical comedy show is putting in a full two hours' entertainment and for the time being this departure from the regular revue line will hold good during the run of the show. There will only be two big shows a day, one in the afternoon and another in the evening. This is the first time in many months a show of this kind has been shown in full at the Lafayette and it is bound to meet with favor. Although a little ragged at the opening performance because of getting away from the revue habit, "Liza" gave promise of enjoying a banner week at the Seventh avenue house. Irvin C. Miller (Himself, if you please) is again on the boards directing things "sotto voice" and taking his old part. A standing room capacity house has the show get off to a big start, with all of his stories putting over their stuff and like it: Gertrude Saunders, Margaret Simms, Doe Doo Green, Galle de Gaston, St. Clair Dotson, Alonzo Fenderson, Archie Cross, Snow Fisher, Blanche Thompson, Lavenin Mack, with Marle Lucas acting as musical director and putting over the music with the vim and dash for which she is noted. At the conclusion of the engagement at the Lafayette Theatre the Miller show will go into the Orpheum Theatre in Newark, N. J. where we make bold to predict a work that will be the popular Whitman Slates will open at the Lafayette Theatre with their new edition, presenting popular artists bound to please the most exacting audience. Banner Vaudeville Bill at the Lincoln Theatre Perhaps it takes a long time, but at some time or other in their career we are bound to see the best of them at the New Lincoln Theatre. This week Manager Raymond Snyder has corral an array of talent that should keep things unusually lively at the Lincoln. The big bill includes Brooks and Powers, the Robinson Four, Jackson and Taylor, and Jines and Jacqueline. A mighty good O'Fay act is also on the card and holds its own. Each and every act on the bill comes in for a big share of applause at the hands of Lincoln audiences. To assemble such an array of talks at this time again proves that the Lincoln management fully alive to the time, for while Seventh avenue is ablaze they refuse to sit idly by and miss the opportunity to keep the glare of the spotlight on 135th street. Word came to us on Monday from Joe Slimms and Walter Crumbley, who are hitting it together these days. Joining hands recently they opened at B. F. Keith's National Theatre in Boston on Sunday and the act went over big. The boys are elated at the reception given them and their future looks bright. Broadway Bound Wild rumors had it that Walter Campbell would bring "My Magnolia" into the Alhambra Theatre for a run. Glad to hear this, but doubt seriously if such will materialize. There's a few obligatory reasons for it, but meet before he even attempts to hit the trail from Broadway to Harlem. That same Alhambra Theatre was opened the last time through the good offices of a member of the staff of The Amsterdam News, as Rector and director of the school, has ever so scarcely from Washington, where it was in hock. Although Hill (Bojangles) Robinson is supposed to be the heir to the school, he has never known, we notice that the same Rector and Cooper were just, as much as the school revue died with a long drawn out wall, in spite of the presence of "Bo." Ah, brothers, the trail for Broadway has been a long, hard one, and the comedy can be found along this same trail. We remember when the exodus started from Harlem to the 'Bright Side' of Broadway, to its memorable hit, and our memories are tinged with sadness, as we too have been. We remember the back on the part of those bright producers and their satellites. The late brunted "Put and Take," which at least gave to the world the departed Maxie, of dancing fame, made his debut on Broadway, and the best promotions came out about the value of the show, but in spite of it all we were among those things out. He, he, he, he, he. Our own purposes the Negro newspaper to they will tell you they do not even read this paper—and think we believe them. The early pioneers going West (We mean the editor to the columns of the Chicago Defender and his brother were last feet from Broadway, Gee, those were the good old days. Prospectors were the colorful and stalking cowards more colorful than you could shake a stick at. Maceo Pinkard came into his own when he contributed the number which it won. Good old Lizzie, she too, captivated us and the last we did hear of her, and the last we heard of her celebration Casino wherein the populer would be given an opportunity to celebrate her birth of the center failed to turn out as Maceo and his associates had expected, and we have now been welcomed to the office of the Amsterdam News since. Even John T. Gibson of Philadelphia seemed to have been hit by the "Broadway Bound" fever. After the Broadway Bound, he had a futile attempt to make Broadway believe it was another "Shuffle Along" guarantee and broadened it to the world. Well, the Quakers failed to John was last heard singing: "After All That I've Been To You." Counsellor Harris of Newark, N.J., thought he would take a flier in how business where he had been led to believe it was easy to make a fortune because "Shuffle Along" did. Despite the retreat of this show from Broadway all bills were met and the good counsellor will always get a hearing in Harlem because he lived up to his obligations. It is a long, long trail, this road leading to Broadway. Few shows would have had the hardhood to open cold on Broadway as did "My Magnolia" and herein was contributed one of the main things responsible for the debacle. Another thing we would like to bring home to some of our good friends in the theatrical world is that we do not back water one step on the hopes we held out for the show before it came. The past reputation of people is all that we can go by. Rogers was as saddened by the death of his wife, which appeared Williams and Walker. Remember, fellows, since "Shuffle Apprentice," he approach it hence your super-minds of the present day far from strikes us and we believe. Tell me, pray, what aggregation ever went to Broadway with our own private little book hook entitled "Less We Forget" which we can own our own private little book backknocked but even those who gained her favor went there after many fallings. You ride around in high price cars, but none knows what the morrow will be. Fellows who would tell us that there's no hope for Rogers and Roberts. Whitman Sisters Going Into Newark Next Week Manager Whipper to Redouble Efforts to Keep Orpheum Theatre a Center of Interest Closing a successful week at the Orpheum Theatre in Newark, N. J. Irvin C. Miller's Brown Skin Models will now be by another attraction which bids fair to duplication the success of anything yet presented at the Orpheum since the new management took charge and made the house the only one of its kind in this part of the country with a bona fide manager of Negro extraction. Manager Whipper, a real live wire, enjoys the distinction of helping to bring success to a theatre which at one time enjoyed the rather questionable name of being another white elephant, and we, are particularly interested in what is being done at the Orpheum as the so-called wigged open task, occasion to assert that it was hard to find a man of color to successfully operate in these parts. Next week Newark will be given an opportunity to welcome the Whitman Sisters, who are not unknown to New Jersey. For years these clever girls have been holding their own with the best and in spite of obstacles which even men find hard at times in the profession, they have gone over the top with flying colors. This is a tribute to the resourcefulness of these girls. Already the Orpheum has taken on a holiday atmosphere with its decorations in preparation for the coming of spring. It is safe to predict that a banner week will be the result of the efforts of all concerned. Theatre Managers Make Trip to See New Picture Cloe Charity, manager of the Renalissance Theatre, and Lee Whipner, manager of the Orpheum Theatre of Newark, were the guests of David Stuckman, owner of the film "A Prince of His Race," at a showing of the picture at the Royal Theatre in Philadelphia last Friday. This is the picture adapted from the story by Roy Calinek and the cast is composed entirely of colored actors and actresses. The theatre managers report thoroughly enjoying the trip. They claim the picture to really be an excellent one and it will very likely be seen around here shortly.

Cecil De Mille is credited with being the first to use these methods of "condensing" drama within its shortest possible confines. During a big climatic love scene rehearsal of "The Volga Boatman," his latest personally directed film will be viewed at the Douglas Theatre on Saturday. Cameraman Arthur Miller made a "yardstick" report of "115 feet." The working of the De Mille mental blue pencil is reported to have been most interesting. have been most interesting. "Come in from the lamp instead of the door, Mr. Boyd," ordered De Mille. "That will save us ten feet. Miss Fair, eliminate your first two gestures of recognition. They are superfluous. Meet against the chair instead of by the fireplace. You will both save steps. Cut out one kiss. Mr. Boyd, don't swing his hand too much footage and doesn't mean anything." The "yardstick" and the "blue pencil" form the reason why producers insist that making motion pictures is decidedly hard work. "The Volga Boatman" is the love romance of a Volga boatman and a beautiful aristocrat, developed against the marvous backdrop of the dramatic Russian revolution. it was adapted by Lennore J. Coffee from the novel "The Art of the Flower." The featured players include William Boyd, Ellin Fair, Theodore Kosloff, Victor Varconi and Julin Faye. "7-11" COMPANY AT THE NEW LINCOLN Dr. Harrison Reviews "Lulu Belle"at Belasco About Things Theatrical A FEW months ago Mr. Hubert H. Harrison decided to write the subjoined article on "Lulu Belle" for this paper, but circumstances arose which induced him to place his opinion on the "David Belasco show in Opportunity Magazine. His contribution is so brilliantly written we were very glad of his decision to let this promising publication of the Urban League use it, knowing that our readers would welcome it no matter how late. So much has been written on "Lulu Belle," which is enjoying a remarkable success at the Belasco Theatre, we think it timely to reproduce the article and direct the attention of our readers to the fact that it is the most comprehensive thing yet written on the show by white or colored critics. THE remarkable grasp of Dr. Harrison on things affecting the race gives us pardonable pride in pointing out that it is more than likely that he will from time to time contribute to these columns on subjects which will be food for thought for readers of the amusement pages and those in the theatrical world who have hypnotized themselves into believing they are great producers because of their ability to assemble a jazz band, a gathering of half-naked (more than half, to be exact) women and vulgar and suggestive jokes to hold the kind of audience which feeds on the vulgar output of the times. THE addition of a learned mind such as that possessed by Hubert H. Harrison as a contributor to these columns will naturally add to and incidentally prove—that this paper is leaving no stone unturned in giving to its large number of readers the very best to be secured along all lines to which ran up-to-date publication of this kind must adhere in turning out a bigger, better and brighter newspaper. It is, then, with a great deal of pleasure, a heroic pose and a dramatic flourish that we introduce you to: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF "LULU BELLE" By Hubert H. Harrison (Through the Courtesy of Opportunity Magazine.) To write about a book or a play and to something worth-will and significant long after the corpse of critics have completed their labor is at once a difficult and thankless task. Yet, for as much as "Lulu Belle" still draws record-crowds as a successful Broadway production, the attempt may prove interesting, at least, to those who have only heard of in the 1920s, "Mr. Belasco has done something for American drama which most of the critics—especially those "on our side of the street"—have managed somehow to miss. The play itself is a Negro life, given without malice and without sentiment. That in itself is sufficiently noteworthy. But its chilish and abiding significance lies in the fact that it presents, on a large scale for the first time, a new type of realism, devoid of any stereotypes which have so long done duty as the remarkable pictures of "Negro life" on the American stage. Heretofore the American playgoer has had his esthetic perceptiveness rested on the narrow choice between the comic stereotype of the black buffoon, the pathetic lay-figure of Uncle Tom or the modern equivalent, and that man of straw, the "problem" Negro who serves occasionally as an awful example of the white horrors of miscegenation. In nearly every case, the white actor impersonating the Negro and imitating black characters abominably as a rule. The rare exceptions began with Pidgeyey Torrence's three plays in 1912 or 1913, and have included "The Emperor Jones" and "The Chip Woman" Fortune. In this respect the Belasco production of "Lulu Belle" breaks new ground. It is true that the two chief characters are white; but the dominant atmosphere of the play is furnished by the overpower of Negro actors on the stage, many of whom are white, whiter than the two chief characters themselves, and the mixed company is so extricultly blunt that, except that, the French vicomts and his slumming party, one wowing an entire cast to be colored. By this double device the Belasco humstrings in advance any possible protest on the make it easier for the next step—an all-Negro cast and presentation of some other and more significant role of Negro life. If this one achievement can be cleared, the Negroes will realize that they owe a voice to the veteran actor-manager producer who, for a century has striven to make the stage a realistic portrayer of life. On our side the earliest response to the play is unfortunately, from those who had not seen it, an burdened, moreover, with the somewhat naive and noble, and educated types of black humanity; and this, the fact that, in their own theaters, over which they were the仆 of patronage, they invariably prefer the debased type of racial representation. However, the matter was not after the critics had been brought face-to-face with "Lulu Belle." And now that the seats for that drama can be filled many weeks in advance, the value and significance of it begins to come home to that portion of the masses that is involved in things theatrical, that of a devotee of "the The story of "Lulu Bled" is based from the cabaret college of the University of Michigan, where Kirk Knocks into a postgraduate paradise of her home, blue Marigyn, Paris. On her way up she meets and enters an enawrite respectable young Negro from a former atmosphere of "upstate," after running him through the winter of her sordid, savage passions. He comes out of it kicks, forgetful of friends and family and of elemental infidelity; only to be cast off by the modern Messiah on her heart on a French nobleman who takes her Harlem to the city on the Seine and establishes her residence. There she is followed by her former mate; and there, after a fruitless attempt on his part to have her return with him to America and love in a cottage, he finally throttles the life out of her with his hands. The scenes are laid in "San Juan Hirr" Harper and Harris, and the aim of the management is to reproduce as nearly as possible the actual appearance of localities in which the characters are presumed to live and move and have their being. The social behavior at their windows, the casual stroller, the street dance, the prize-fighter, the hanger-on, "the big butter-and-egg dress," the respectable colored citizen and the cabaret "jazz hunt." And all this welter of characters Miss Lenore Ulric, who plays the title character, is seen to dominate the scenar from her first entrance on a stage to the moment of her spectacular "finish." The magic of her personality, as well as of her acting, sheds a garish glove over the cordial situations and stamps her as a great actress, in spite of the limitations of "Lulu Belle," but there is great For there is no great acting in "Lulu Belle," and "Lulu Belle" is a slice of the surface. It has the hard glitter of that surface, but lacks the rich color of the depths. The dialogue, for instance, is the most brilliant and nimble I have heard for some time. But no attempt is made to catch even hint at any valid emotional experiences in the narratives. In the second act the playwright thirk the subsurface values in the situation presented; and the third—when the news of his little boy's death from sickness and neglect comes to George Randall and the human impulse of the father beats feebly against the bonds of his degradation and subservience to the siren who has wrought his downfall—even here, the authors fail to achieve true poignancy and pathos. A superficial sordiness engulfs the sweeping possibilities of the dramatic situation which they have created. It is as if they had made up their minds to cheat the audience out of its due share of the romantic values. And in the last act, when help you solve your musical problems. Pupils five years up. Harmony, phrasing and analysis taught. Rapid progress guaranteed. C. L. BECK, 2529 Seventh Ave., Apt. 7, Edgecombe 4753.

It was gratifying to note that John Harrington as "Butch Cooper," the Negro prize-fighter, had changed from a "darky" type of the rehearsals to a genuine colored person in the presented play—much to the improvement of his characterization and the enjoyment of his audience; while Henry Hull as "George Randall" almost attained to the dignity of a mathetic figure. On the whole, the play is impressive and satisfying as genuine drama, while the sociologic complications give it an added value and significance which put it in a position to be a work of art. It might be well to iron out, even at this late date. For instance, the Negro workers in the Salvation Army do not sing Negro spirituals, such as "The O' Time Religion" and "I Want, it to Be Ready," neither do Harlem cabbies contain back rooms large enough to stage glove-contests or the result is "something attempted, something done" which rebounds to the credit of the American stage.

Simpson and Monarch Band in Park Concerts Monarch Band, unde its leader, Lieut. Fred Simpson, has been given two Central Park dates for the month of August. This makes the third successive year the band has played in Central Park and other city parks under the auspices of the City of New York. The famous band has been given Wednesday night, Aug. 18, and Tuesday night, Aug. 31. The concerts will begin promptly at 8:15. Owing to a greatly reduced appropriation, the band playing in the city parks has been greatly curtailed this year. It is expected that Monarch will appear in Prospect Park early in September and in some of the Bronx parks also. The concerts will take place on the Mall and it is hoped that a large number of colored people will take advantage of the opportunity of hearing their own excellent band. "7=11" Company to Fill Big Engagement at Lincoln Show With Garland Howard, Mae Brown and "Speedy" Smith to Open on 135th St. Monday It will be a big company that will go into the Lincoln Theatre the coming Monday afternoon for a run for four weeks, for the "711" boys and girls will bring all their trapping from their successful run on the burlesque wheel to entertain their old friends at Mrs. Downs's popular little house. Old favorites which include Garland Howard, "Speedy" Smith and Mae Brown will be seen in what they call "Zigaboo Land," one of those shows that give the three principals enough to do to keep the house in an unproaricious mood for a little over two hours at a stretch. Of course, they are bringing their snappy and good looking chorus with them, to say nothing of numbers not heard in the vicinity. Manager Snyder will try an experiment which should pan out well as 135th street near Lenox avenue is as bright as Seventh avenue, and we do not see why this novelty should not appeal just as anywhere else. That experiment is a big midnight show the coming Friday night when the company will return to the board after the regular night performance. The fine display of pictures adorning the front of the Lincoln will also do its share in pulling in large houses afternoons and evenings if the interest displayed by those passing the house can be taken as a sign of "what is to be." "4=11-44" Started Rehearsals Here on Monday Show Will Open Week of Aug. 14th on the Hurtig and Seamon Time Down at Hurtig and Seamon's Theatre on 125th street. "4-11-44" started rehearsals on Monday afternoon and from the looks of things the former "How Come" will go out prepared to stay out as long as any of the others on the burlesque time. The majority of the people with the original production, which has changed its name to suit the times, have reported and it looks like old times at the Apollo Theatre to see the old bunch going through their paces. We understand that there are still a few openings for chorus people and possibly principals, but with applications piling in all this week the company will be ready to put The Friese Music School of Tympani and Percussion Instruments Ketel Drum, (Tympan), Sannre Drum, Bells, Xylophone, Marimba.

Thompson of Washington, Ballard of Philadelphia Tournament Winners (Special to N. Y. Amsterdam News) BY ARTHUR E. FRANCIS. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 26.—With a brilliant gallery of tennis fans in attendance, amid the wonderful setting afforded by the spacious courts of the German-town W. Y. C. A., National Champion Ted Thompson of Washington, D. C., added the men's singles championship of the Philadelphia open tournament to his other notable tennis achievements. In doing this he defeated our local champion Eyre Saitch of New York, giving the spectators spellbound the exchange of strokes between the two young rocket welders. after the third set, Thompson seemed to have benefited more than Saitch, and showed this by the sting to his strokes in the fourth set. He soon ran into a lead of three to love, Saitch winning the fourth game and dropping the fifth Thompson took the next two, then dropped one on Saitch's service. On his own service he then took the set at 6:3, making the match all square at two sets all. In this set Thompson won three love games on service. Both men realized that every thing hinged on the lace set, and both were to it. Both called on their reserve, but there was no response to Saitch's call. Talley Holmes, the "old master," had tak It took Thompson 61 games to gain the verdict, 24 of which went to duce one or more times. Both of these young players are as much alike in style, ability and temperament as any two players on the courts, and that present expected to see those players, and the ones not disappointed. Thompson outplayed his opponent, not by any margin that would anticipate the possible winner in a return engagement, but his strokes were more accurate, his volleying aggressive, his smashes almost always unreturnable, and he was consistent in getting his first serve over, whereas Saitch very seldom succeeded in placing his first service in the service court, with the result that his serve was the speed to make it a weapon of attack and therefore hard of return, his volleying was defensive, and he seldom employed the smash. Play was so determined in the first set that it took 20 games before Saltt won the set at 11-9, after having led at 5-3. At the end of this set the opinion of the gallery were that the winner of the match would be the one who could successfully match his stamina with the humid conditions of the day. The second set was taken by Thompson at 6-2. Saltt winning the fifth and sixth games of the set. The third set found both men battling doggedly for the advantage game before the rest period, and the two players were deadlocked up to the 14th game of the set at 7 all. When Saltt took Thompson's service on the 15th game and won his own on the 16th game for the set at 9-7, after the regulation time allowed for rest NEW YORK: AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1926 after the third set, Thompson seemed to have benefited more than Salcht, and showed this by the sting to his strokes in the fourth set. He soon ran into a lead of three to love, Salcht winning the fourth game and dropping the fifth. Thompson took the next two, then on to his Great service. On his own service he then took the set at 6-3, making the match all square at two sets all. In this set Thompson won three love games on service. Both men realized that everything hinged on the last set, and they both went to it. Both called on their reserve, but there was no response to Saitch's call. Talley Holmes, the "old master," had taken too much away from him the day before in a five set semifinal, but Saitch, seeing the first game, won the second, Saitch won the third which was his last, as Thompson seeing the New Yorker faltering, called on all he had in store, and took the next five games for the set and match at 9-11, 6-2, 7-9, 6-3, 6-2. It was a great match between two wonderful young men. Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia, also national ladies' champion, was the winner of the match when she defeated Miss Ora Washington, also of Philadelphia, at 1-6, 6-4, 6-4. Miss Ballard had to battle all the way to the finals, and got in a lot or trouble when she met 'Miss Estelle Alston of New York, and only won after two hard sets at 8-6, 4-6; Miss Alston seems destined to make trouble for lots of the top players. Miss Alberta Ballard gave her champion sister a hard fight taking one set at 6-3, and carrying the other two sets to 6-4, 6-3 before losing. Miss Washington defeated Mrs. Madison of New York 6-3, 6-3, and Miss Junior of Philadelphia at 6-1, 7-5. Mrs Emma Leonard, Mrs Rhoda Sath of N.Y., went to the finals in the ladies' 2 double; lost to Miss Washington and Miss L. Ballard at 6-3, 6-0. Fred Johnson of New York went to the round before the semi-finals and was put out by Holmes at 6:1-9:7. The entries were very small, yet all events could not be finished on schedule time at the close of play on a Saturday; a semi-final and two final events were scheduled for Monday afternoon. This is to be regretted, as it interferes with other tournaments and robs the contestants of the day of grace and rest between tournaments. 'It was generally felt however that had the players given the officials a little more co-operation, the tournament would have been completed on time. IF YOUR BLOOD IS POOR YOUR APPETITE BAD AND YOU CAN'T SLEEP TAKE GLANTOX AT ALL DURCH STORES For several days the writer has been making a swing around the uptown athletic circuit, visiting those ancient institutions formerly dedicated to the gods of sport, where perspiring athletes of varying degrees of skill and amateur purity were accustomed to do their daily dozen from New Year's to Watch Meeting Night amid the glad acclaim of their wildly partisan membership. I stopped in Cat-Commonwealth Hall, which cradled professional basketball when that babe was in its infancy, and the gymnasium of the St. Phillip's Parish House, where the red and black organization, and formed their miracle act, and the Alpha Physical Culture Club, now a passing memory; and McCombs's Dam Park, the grand old rendezvous of the clender-path Industry; the Y. M. C. A. and the Protectory Oval. Among the sporting events covered during my itinerary was the Cathedral benefit games at the Yankee Stadium on July. While engaged in a fan test, I extracted from him the following: **In the Hall** **In the赛场** **In the Hall of the National Championships** **In the Hall of the National Championships at Philadelphia recently** **In fact, the huge bowl, with a seating capacity of 100,000, seemed empty** "How do you explain it?" quoted the writer. "The public has lost faith in amateur and Hoff incidents have not done the game any good. Summer baseball, professional basketball and now professional sport, the sport the solar plexus blow, unless I lose my guess." "Didn't they discipline Forbes, Sol Butler and Earl Johnson for infringements against the amateur code?" answered. "That was Butler, Johnson and Forbes, and that was in the good old days when the word amateur carried a mysterious charm." "How do you explain the decline in interest in amateur sports?" asked the writer. "You will recall that basketball was the backbone of amateur sports among the Negro clubs. It produced enough profits to run itself and several of the minor sports. When professional basketball cut in on the indoor game it became increasingly hard for the amateurs either to hold their best athletes or to play the brand of basketball which the public demanded. Besides, the general undercurrent of opinion was that this thing called amateurism was more talk than practice. When amateur basketball fell, that was the death knoll of track and field sports. True, we still have a few good boys in the game, but they are not getting enough publicity, which, as you know, is indispensable to amateur athletics." "How about our colleges carrying on the good work?" questioned the writer. "They are indirectly, but professionalism is gradually creeping into college athletics. Athletes are not viewing the sight of thousands of spectators paying huge sums to see them perform with complacence. However, at present the greatest inroads are being made in basketball and football." "What has become of the amateur "Quit your kidding. There ain't no such animal, double that there ever been. You're a boxer. You're a boxer. Our clubs fostered amateur boxing a few years ago, but the sport is now a national sport, allowing that the sport soon became persona non grata with the leading boxer. "What are the chances for a revival of amateur sports in these parts?" questioned the writer. Fisher, A. G. sponsor, of Fisher Shotton Blesh is making a game effort to rehabilitate the sport. They have an excellent team, the amateur team, the amateur impressario, Hunter Johnson, formerly of Pittsburgh. Among the amateur impressario, Defiant Hubbard, world broad jump and sprint champion; Charles Drew, and Earl Moore, the middle distance runner. By the way, this boy Moore was a champion, the amateur disease. Cook, the intercollegiate quarter-miler, and Edwards of N. Y. College, the amateur disease. If they can get a little support from the press and the public we might yet see how Moore, Drew, Sol Butler and Ned Gourdin." Hey, Hey, Tom! There's a letter at this office for you, Tom.

Sammy Baker, who just managed to break even with Tommy Freeman last Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, has been thrown another victim in the person of Sailor Darden. If the good old sailor is no more threatening than he was when we last had the good fortune to gaze upon him, then Baker will sock him to the canvas. The fight will take place at Fort Hamilton on the night of August 4 for the benefit of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club—a club wherein it is doubtful if Darden can enter albeit he will be fighting for its benefit. The bold Sorgeant has hung it heavy upon each and every colored fighter he has been asked to face, and, while we do not believe that he has the low down on them all, still we are of the opinion that Sailor Darden is in for a night which he will remember as one of the roughest in his career of riding the green and briny deep.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES Fountain Pen Repairing Complete Line of Men's Toilet Articles The Farmers performed a stunt to be rated high in the independent baseball world last Sunday when they handed the Hildale Club, of Darby, Pa., a double shutout at Farmers Oval. Holding the Darbytes, now rated as one of the strongest colored teams in the world, scoreless in 13 innings during one afternoon has never been performed since the colored club was organized some years ago. The two games consumed two hours and thirty minutes of actual playing time, making a new record for the Glendale ball park. Manager Hank Crist baffled the Hildalees with Hen Wiley and Chad See. In the first game, Wiley held the colored sluggers to a lone single, while his nicked Campbell for eight hits to gain a 2 to 0 victory. See was touched for hits, all singles, while the Farmers batted Lee out of the box in the second inning and rolled up seven runs. Ryan who relieved Lee, held the Glendalers in check during the rest of the game. Kinney opened the second game by drawing a pass, went to second on Roche's sacrifice hunt and was joined on the paths by Crist and Krumenacker, who received passes. Howie Loesch then came through with a single that scored Kinney and Crist. Loesch personally scored the winger run in the first game, when, in the fourth inning, he walked, stole second, went to third on Gillespie's hit and worked a delayed steal with the latter. The lone hit charged against Wiley came in the second inning when Carr singled to right-centre after two were out. The Hildaldes threatened to score in the last inning when Mackey drew a pass and Johnson hit one through the box that looked good for a break. But Bowie scored over, grabbed the ball, touched second base to force Mackey and then threw to first, getting Johnson. The Farmers fielded well in each game, Krumenacker's work standing out. The New York Athletic Club will oppose the Farmers Saturday, while the Harrisburg Colored Giants will appear in Sunday's double bill. The scores: FIRST GAME. FARMERS. A.B. R. H. O. A.

Gallard was too strong for his rival and proved it quickly. He clipped Bloom with a right to the jaw that keeled him over for a nine count. Gallard rushed in to finish him when he arose and shot over a left to the button. He followed with a right on the jaw and Bloom folded up like an accordion. His knees hit the canvas first and then he rolled over on his back. The summary: 112- pound Class—Dave Berg. Stewart Gym, knocked out George Simon, unattached, first round.

Farley of the New York State Athletic Commission evidently thought a reiteration of his stand on the holding the battle in New York would not be amiss and Sunday accordingly issued a statement in which he restates his opposition to Jack meeting Gene and continues his demand for a meeting between the champion and Harry Wills. Farley's statement, in part, follows: "The New York State Athletic Commission is charged by law with regulating boxing in this State in the interests of the public which supports professional boxing. Its primary interest is not in the enrichment of boxers, managers or promoters, however much it may wish them well personally. "Since it is the object of every boxer to win a championship and of every promoter to stage championship contests, it is obvious that regulatory powers must be exercised over champions and championships, otherwise the Commission will fall of its purpose. "To this end, the rules of the Commission, which are made law by statute, provide in Section VIII that 'a boxer holding a championship must defend the same within a period of six months after winning or defending the title in a bona fide bout to a decision.' "In support of this regulation, the Commission has frequently suspended champions in this State because of failure to comply with the rule. Mickey Walker was so disciplined until he met Dave Shade; Charlie Phil Rosenberg is under suspension now because he Automobile For Hire 5-PASSENGER NASH SEDAN 1926 MODEL $2.50 PER HOUR EXPERT DRIVER LENOX DRIVING SCHOOL 355 LENOX AVE.

"These were typical cases in championship divisions other than the heavyweight, and the Commission's rulings were supported by press and public in these instances. It was recognized that champions, having gained a valuable property in their titles, would not risk it against outstanding contenders if they were not forced to. Yet it is just such bouts, with a championship risked and the issue in doubt, that the boxing public most wishes to see. "There is no reason, to my mind, why the heavyweight division should be a law unto itself, although it is perfectly understandable that promoters and boxers may think so because a heavyweight championship contest usually attracts an enormous gate. "Having elected Harry Wills as the logical heavyweight contender more than two years ago, and having stated its selection on the several minutes of the meetings of this body, it is my contention that the Commission has no reason for changing this stand. "We cannot make one rule for flyweights and another one for heavyweights. We cannot favor one champion against another, even if he is a greater drawing card. "Judge Landis found it necessary to discipline Babe Ruth, the greatest drawing card in baseball, in order to uphold his authority. In the long run that ruling worked for the best interests of baseball.

CANADA LEE GETS EVEN Canada Lee, sensational weltweight of the Salem-Crescent AC, outpointed Mick McCann, of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, in their 138-pound bout at the amateur show staged under the auspices of the Holy Name Societies of Brooklyn and Long Island for the benefit of the Holy Name Hospital at the Coney Island Stadium, Last Wednesday night More than 10,000 fans were on hand. By earning the judges' decision, Lee avenged the beating he received at the Golden City Arena, Canarsie, three weeks ago. Lee had the edge on his adversary throughout. The Salem-Crescent boxer employed a hard right to the jaw and a neat left jab to the face that had McCann on the defensive for the major part of the skirmish. Terry Roth, 115-pound ace of the Seward Gymnasium, scored his seventh straight victory by knocking out Eugene Gelmos, of the United States Navy. The end came after 2 minutes and 22 seconds of the second round. Both exchanged blows at a fast clip in the first THIRTEE arden Matched ammy Baker round, but in the second Roth ms a punching bag of his foe, lai ing hard rights and lefts to t face at will. Before taking t final count Gelmos hit the canv for a count of nine. Stanley Cross, of the Trinity C., one of the double winner registered impressive triumphs over Mack Davies, of the Salem-Croent A. C., and Joe Pottsishan, the Paulist A. C. The letter galed the right to compete again Cross in the final of the 118-pound division by knocking out Pe Wells, of the National Vaudevil Artists, after two minutes and seconds of the third round with hard right to the heart. Among the referees of the evening were James Jeffries, form world's hayweight champion, as Tom Sharkey, his ancient rival who is now appearing in vaudevil with Jeffries.

The medical schools at Capetown and Johannesburg do not admit native students.and no provi- ston exists -elsewhere in the Union of South Africa for train- ing them. A committee of four doctors and two laymen appointed to “inquire into the training ot na- tives in medicine and public health" has reported. The re- port states that few European doctors find sufficient induce- ment to practice among tho na- tives in the kraals. “Whereas there should be about one doc- tot to every 5,000 natives, there is now only one doctor to every 50,000. Opposition to sending students to England for training is based on the contention that they be- come “infected with {ideas un- suitable to South Africa.” ‘The British Medical Jour. nal's Johannesburg correspon- dent writes: 8 “Meanwhile, there hes been raging in the’ daily press a dis- cussion In whlch clerical, medi- cal, and untversity men are tak- ux part ag to whether the men- tality of the South African na- tive, or Bantu, ts potentially equal to that of the.

Ag affecting the question of the professional training of natives, it In of Snterest to’ note that there are already practising in the Union six Bantu doctors. and tholr practice is by no ‘means confined to natives.” NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1926 eae arta foment Vea ee 2) : a er hol ae oe The Rev, Wm.

DANIEL, Secretary, "Who Killed the King of the Negro Underworld?" THE WHIRLPOOL MAGAZINE SECTION THIRD SECTION Read This First "Nero" Brocker, king of the Negro Underworld, is visited by Richard Nelson, whose fiancee, Laura Stevens, had been insulted by Brocker earlier in the day. In the fight which followed Brocker, seemingly, had the best of it until he uttered the words: "My God! I'm killed!" and dropped to the floor. Now Go On With the Story CHAPTER TWO DICK NELSON, held in who had pulled him on stupidly staring at his room was full of men, two Dick and would have struck had now entered the room at them off.

"A feller come runn' fightin' in the boss's room. thing we hear is the boss he bust open the door an' pull him that quick." "I didn't stab him! groan even have a——." DICK NELSON, held in the rough grasp of the men who had pulled him off Jim Brocker's body, stood stupidly staring at his blood-covered hands. The room was full of men, two of whom made a rush for Dick and would have struck him. But three policemen had now entered the room and with raised sticks warded them off. "That's the guy, officer," they cried. "Look, he stabbed him in the back." Two of the policemen held Dick, feeling through his clothes for weapons. The third knelt over the body and picked up something. "A dagger!" they cried. Dick was still stunned and looked at the weapon in vacant surprise. "That boy'll git the chair, all right," said someone. Finally roused to speech, Dick cried out: "I didn't kill him! I didn't kill him!" "He's dead, all right," said the policeman who had picked up the dagger. "An' that guy killed him, too," said a white-coated waiter. "A feller come runnin' downstairs sayin' he heard fightin' in the boss's room. We hustled up here an' first thing we hear is the boss hollerin', 'I'm murdered!' We bust open the door an' pull this guy off him. He'd stabbed him that quick." "I didn't stab him! groaned Dick. "I didn't! I didn't even have a——." Africa--Land of Ivory, Gold and Diamonds WHEN Homer wrote the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," the first great epics, he referred to the gods' holiday among the blameless Ethiopians. Theirs was a land fit for a visit of the gods. After Troy had fallen, and the wanderer, Ulysses sailed the deep in quest of home, he early found his way to Africa, the land of the Lotophagi, where luscious food tempted the visitors to forget their far-off homes and stay to eat the lotus all their lives. It is a common saying in the land of Egypt that he who tastes the water of the Nile will drink again of that strange, muddy liquid. It was up the Nile to the far interior, so the priests maintained, that the souls sailed in the ark of death to the land beyond the grave. Greeks thought of Africa as an earthly paradise, and Egyptians of the heart of the Dark Continent as their heaven. Rich is this continent in memories of the past. Long before Troy was built and after Troy had fallen, Thebes stood, the City of a hundred Gates, capital of the upper and the nether kingdom. When Aeneas, the Trojan, fled from his ruined city, after long journeyings he found his way to Carthage and from Queen Dido took land such as an ox's hide might cover, on which to build his new home in the land of Libya. Thin they cut the strips of ox hide and surrounded land enough to build there on a city; thus, Virgil tells us, Carthage was founded long before Rome, the Eternal City, had been thought of. For a millen- in the rough grasp of the men off Jim Brocker's body, stood his blood-covered hands. The two of whom made a rush for Dick him.

KUMM (From the Deafborn Independent.) nium Carthage stood, for five hundred years Rome's rival, till Scipio Africanus and the younger Scipio dealt with the mistress of proud Mauritania. The younger Scipio plowed the ruins of that city, and with salt he sowed them, thus he cursed the land, and thought forever to have ended the life of Carthage. Never again need Roman senator proclaim his "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" (as to the rest, I think Carthage must be destroyed). Yet Carthage rose again out of her ruins, like a phoenix out of ashes, and gave the world three fathers of the Christian Church, Tertullian, Cyprian and Augustine. When the Anglo-Saxons lived, dressed in skins, in Northern Europe as savages of the ultramontes, North Africa had a brilliant civilization. The greatest library was in Alexandria. Both Arius and Athanasius were bishops of that city. Here the first Christian college was established, the Bible first translated. Here the first lighthouse stood, the first geographers wrote and made their maps. Archeologically and historically North Africa has a rich past. Great also is Africa's wealth of flora and fauna. Man may scar the earth's surface in the tropics. He may burn down the wilderness, cut roads through, the jungles and send villages up in flames, but six months later deeper green than ever will have hidden his handiwork. The measure of rain is the measure of the foliage and the food supply. Light and life. in nature are closely related and as Africa is the NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1926 "Aw, tell the judge that, bo. We caught you with the goods." It was not long before another policeman came in. "Wagon's ready," he said. The policeman then took Dick downstairs, leaving one officer with the body. The ride to the police station and the preliminary hearing were like a bad dream to Dick Nelson. Even yet he did not fully realize what had happened. Things were still blurred, and somewhere in the distance he seemed to hear Brocker's voice crying, "My God! I'm killed!" At the police station he dully answered the questions, monotonously repeating, "I didn't kill him." "Who did, then?" he was roughly asked. "I don't know, I don't know. I didn't do it." He passed the night in his cell, still trying to figure out how it all happened. That dagger, where did it come from? He had never carried a dagger in his life, nor any kind of a deadly weapon. The next day found him in the Tombs. A night's sleep had restored his sensibility, and he now felt the horror of his predicament. His whole life passed before him like a panorama. He saw himself at home, studious and ambitious, the most promising boy in his town. The days of school and college then came back to him, days in which a splendid future had been predicted for him by his teachers and classmates. He had stood high, not only in mental ability, but in character. Certainly he was the last man in the class to be thought of as a murderer. Fresh from college, he had come to New York to go into journalism. He had taken naturally to newspaper work and had made good. Always high principled, he had recently left the Channel office, because he did not care to be identified with the shady business methods of the owner. Quietly canvassing his friends and relatives, he had raised almost enough capital to start a paper of his own. And now—this! He was accused and soon would be convicted of murder. He was not guilty, but what would that matter if he could not convince a jury? And what jury would be convinced by his unsupported word against all the evidence that the other side would have to offer? He passed the night in out how it all happened. The from?

Quietly canvassion had raised almost enough own. And now—this! He was convicted of murder. He w that matter if he could not jury would be convinced by all the evidence that the other continent of sunshine, animal and vegetable life is prolific. A rainfall map of the world and density of population map are curiously alike except when we deal with the maps of Africa. Here rainfall and food are no indication of density of population. The determining factor of human life in Africa is not sunshine and rain, but health. On this question more will be said later. If Africa is rich in her flora and fauna she is still more highly dowered by her mineral wealth. The export of gold from Africa during 1923 was valued at $130,000,000 out of a total of $340,000,000. Considerably more than a third of the whole export of South Africa consisted therefore of gold, and this gold output is still on the increase, despite its being spoken of as a waning industry. The May, 1924, output for the Transvaal exceeded 800,000 ounces and so created a record. Two important new mines have just arrived at the crushing stage. The fact that the Witwatersrand gold output has on the whole been steadily increasing and that the gold output for 1923 had been surpassed only once and that under pressure of war, that so recently as in May, 1924, a record production was returned, seems to contradict any arbitrary statements that the zenith has been passed. The export of gold from the. Gold Coast during 1922-23 amounted to 204,073 fine ounces valued at about $4,000,000. Africa supplies today half the gold of the world and there is gold in Southwest Africa, THE NEW YORK Amsterdam Nems By AUBREY BOWSER (Protected by the Kelloy Newspaper Feature Service) So.

And what is unsupported word against side would have to offer? on the Congo, on the Upper Benue, in the Libyan Desert waiting for development. The diamond industry has not yet reached its pre-war standard. The unsettled state of Europe prevents the poverty-stricken people from purchasing precious stones, and as the DeBeer's mines of South Africa throw only enough diamonds into the world trade to supply the need, we have in this diamond trade a fairly correct index of world prosperity. In 1912 South Africa exported 4,440,000 carats of diamonds valued at nearly $45,000,000. In 1923 the export was 2,428,849 carats valued at $32,000,000. As the South African diamonds provide four-fifths of the diamond output of the world, and indeed control the diamond trade, nothing further need be said about these valuable African mineral assets, which can be almost indefinitely developed as the wealth and the need for diamonds in the world increases. For more valuable in world commerce even than diamonds is coal. The coal mining in South Africa has reached 12,000,000 tons a year and the mining is still in its infancy. The price of coal is as low in South Africa as anywhere in the world. Cheap Negro labor has much to do with this. New coal mines have lately been opened in Rhodesia; others in the Katanga and still others in Southern Nigeria. There is coal enough in Africa for Africa. A platinum riff has just been discovered in South Africa and radium-bearing ore is reported by the Belgian Government on the Upper Congo. The Belgian Congo Government goes so far as to say that these radium ore deposits are rich enough to supply the need of the world. The Katanga district, where the radium ore was found in close proximity to coal, has further become famous And Laura! The thought pierced him like a knife. How could he keep her name out of it? She, the girl he loved, was too sacred to be dragged through a murder trial. He would plead not guilty, and he would certainly be asked why he went to Brocker's rooms and how the fight started. He felt he would rather go to the electric chair with sealed lps. Brocker had been a notorious conqueror of women, and few people would believe that Laura had gone to his rooms innocently. That was just what he could not bear, the implication of the cynics who would roll the girl's name on their tongues with evil satisfaction. Brocker might have told others the same lie that had made Dick leap at him like a tiger. Thinking over the lawyers he knew, he had asked for Frank Greene, an able young attorney, who also called himself an amateur detective. Later in the day Greene came down to see him and was admitted. "Well, Greene," said Dick after they had greeted each other. "It looks bad, bad!" "Yes, it looks bad enough," agreed the lawyer, "but the trial isn't over yet, or even begun. In fact, we haven't a date yet. Lots of things can happen between now and the trial. Now tell me this thing straight." Nelson hestated. He had a horror of connecting Laura with the case, even in talking with his lawyer. "If I'm to defend you, Nelson," pursued Greene, "I must know everything. Of course, everything you tell me doesn't have to be repeated on the witness stand. As you went to Brocker's rooms and the killing occurred there, things are dead against you. So tell me everything, no matter how trivial, for I'll have hard enough job building up a case of self-defense." "But I'm not claiming self-defense." "Then what on earth are you claiming? Surely you don't mean to go on the stand and confess that you killed Brocker deliberately?" "I didn't kill Brocker," said Nelson earnestly. "Didn't kill him! He's as dead as Moses!" "Before God I didn't. All I know is that he was killed while I was fighting with him." "Tell me this thing from the beginning, Nelson." Dick told him the whole story, beginning with his visit for a mountain of almost pure copper. To bring this copper into the world trade a railroad is being built from Lobito Bay in Portuguese Southwest Africa to the watershed between the Congo and the Zambesi at the cost of some $75,000,000. About half the line is now in operation. When in 1905 the writer rode on horseback across the Bukuru Plateau in West Central Africa he purchased from the natives metal ornaments that looked to him as though they were made of lead. Two years later the Niger Company sent an expedition of mining engineers to that plateau; what looked like lead was soft black river tin, and now fifty-five tin companies are exploiting the tin deposits of the Bukuru. I think the point is proved that Africa's wealth in minerals is very great, and iron has not yet been mentioned—that base metal basic of all developments today. The backbone of Africa is known to the geographers as the Central African ironstone plateau. A plateau larger than the United States holds on utterly unexploited wealth of iron. If Carnegie could build libraries for the world out of the iron dug at Pittsburgh, some future Carnegie may tackle the virgin iron wealth of Africa and use it through medical research to put an end to the diseases of the world. We may gain an impression as to the comparative importance of the various parts of Africa in world trade by looking at the export figures. Egypt, having the densest population of Africa, at least along the Nile and in the Delta, shows an export of $300,000,000. If we compare this with the export of America it appears that the individual Egyptian exports about half as much as the American, but if we compare the export and import of Egypt and America with EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS the cultivated acreage, the export of Egypt per cultivated acre is far in excess of America. Algiers exported in 1923 goods valued at somewhat more than $108,000,000; Tunis, $27,000,000; the French Congo, $42,000,000; British East Africa about the same; South Africa, $320,000,000; Nigeria, $47,000,000; the Gold Coast, $370,000,000; Sierra Leone, $6,000,000; French Senegal, $21,000,000, and Liberia, $1,000,000. (All figures are taken from Government reports for 1923.) Africa, immeasurably rich in raw products, shares in export of world trade but to the extent of 3.3 per cent and 3.6 per cent respectively, and as her land is one-fifth of that of our globe, her world trade is but one-sixth of the average. Many of the greatest harbors are river harbors, New York on the Hudson, London on the Thames, Hamburg on the Elbe, Buenos Aires on the La Plata, Calcutta on the Ganges. Africa, with the exception of the small town Boma on the Congo, has no river harbor of importance. Her great cities, except Cairo, do not lie on rivers. Health in Tropical Africa, unusually bad in the deltas and estuaries, prevented the development of river harbors. In 1910, Africa's share of the shipping of the world was but 7 per cent; shipping carried in foreign boats, and as the tonnage at the different harbors was aggregated to reach this figure without considering that the same vessel might call at three or four and sometimes, more places for her cargo, even 7 per cent is probably more than twice too high. Three per cent of the world's shipping would be more the true share that Africa has at present. It is commonly held by geographers that on the east coast of the United States, between Boston and to Laura, whom he had found in a state of semi-hysteria, and who had told him how she was trapped in Brocker's rooms, escaping almost by a miracle; how he had gone to have it out with Brocker; how the fight had started, and how Brocker had suddenly cried out and fallen. Greene shook his head gravely. "But how did you get the blood on your hands?" he asked, after thinking a moment. "I had an arm around him in the clinch and his blood must have spurted out over my hand. In the heat of fighting I didn't notice it. And his nose was bleeding—I hit it time after time." "And that dagger business," suggested Greene. "That looks very funny. I think you're innocent, Nelson, but we'll have an awful time proving it. Of course, you won't go to the chair. Even if you're convicted, the motives for the act will win the jury's sympathy and they don't bring in a first degree verdict. Killing a man for attacking your fiancee is not like ordinary murder." "But I want to keep her out of it." "How can you keep her out, Nelson? You have to tell the court something; you can't sit there dumb, and you'd better tell them the truth." "I can't help it. I don't want her name in it." "I can't help it, I don't want her name in it. "Well, well," said Greene soothingly, "we'll see about it." soothingly, "we'll see about little the lawyer went away. key came and told Dick that see him. After cheering Dick up a little the lawyer went away. In another moment the turnkey came and told Dick that a young lady was waiting to see him. "Oh, Lord," he groaned. "Let her come." It was Laura, as he expected, and she certainly looked out of place in that gloomy corridor. She was dressed in a neat, dark-blue suit; she held herself with a straight, graceful air of distinction, and her face was a rare combination of Grecian features and a golden-brown skin; her lips were strong but sensitive and her eyes black and intelligent. Her black hair was not bobbed—it clung to her head in gleaming coils that suggested abundance. Her beautiful face was perturbed, as it might well be. "Oh Dick, Dick!" she cried.

(To Be Continued Next Week) Niger and the Congo are so near at hand? To sum up, the Atlantic States of the United States will shortly be looking for nature's supplies to feed their mills and factories. They will naturally turn to West Africa. What an opportunity for men of vision lies here before us—a continent to be developed. And there is but one drawback: Tropical Africa is held by dangerous defenders, the unseen miasma and microbes of deadly diseases. Africa was first really opened to the knowledge of the modern world by Prince Henry of Portugal, called the Navigator. His victorious campaign of 1415 against the Moorish citadel of Ceuta roused his interest in the unknown continent, and he sent repeated expeditions down the coast to determine the extent of the continent. Finally one expedition returned with 10 Negro slaves and some gold dust. That blazed the trail for the demoralizing slave trade that followed during the next four centuries. Gradually the interior was penetrated, daring men lost their lives, as pioneers must, but the West African coast became familiar through commerce and sailing charts. English and other European explorers followed the Portuguese in the late 18th century, and the 19th century was marked by the entrance of the distinctly scientific spirit into African exploration. This promises to turn the key to African wealth and convert Africa into a continent whose riches are not only known but accessible—riches that may prove the solution to knotty problems. AFRICAN DIAMOND RUSH IS ON ANEW JOHANNESBURG, July 24- The diamond rush is on anew in South Africa. More than 10,000 men and their families from all parts of the Transvaal are on their way to Elansteupte farm, where a new diamond field has been discovered. Greene shook his head gravely. "Oh Dick. Dick!" she cried. Washington, will be found the densest population, and here will be established as the days go by the financial and industrial center of the world. There are various geographical reasons for this which may be found in Semple and Huntington's books. The east coast of America will need more raw products. In West Africa we have one of the greatest storehouses of the world, little farther from New York than San Francisco. Why send for our rubber to the East Indies when there is any amount of it nearer home on the Guinea coast? Why send for our copra to the South Sea Islands when we can get it on the Ivory Coast, less than one-third of the distance? This country will need more vegetable oil. There is any amount if it on the oil rivers in Southern Nigeria. We are already going for our cocoa to the Gold Coast, and for our mahogany to the Ivory Coast. There is ebony on the West African rivers. There is gum in the Sudan, and much ivory in Ethiopia. And—Rubber! At present only one-fourth of one per cent of the world's trade in rubber comes from Africa. We have under our wings, in West Africa, Liberia, a country where almost enough rubber could be secured to meet the needs of the United States. A rubber tree requires about six years to become tappable and 10 years to bear fully. This fact causes the average American to hold back in investing in a project which will tie up his money over so long a period without return. A great storehouse has been provided for us on the other side of the Atlantic whence we may draw cheaply and quickly most of the raw supplies we need. Millions of tons of kapok (silk-cotton) annually go to waste on the West African rivers.

About a week ago the writer accompanied by Henri F. Carden of the Frederick Douglass Realty Corporation, Jamaica, motored to Corona, L.

Reid, which is located on Jackson avenue, one of the principal thoroughfares of that city. We were We first visited the real estate office of Mr. L. S. Reid, which is located on Jackson avenue, one of the principal thoroughfares of that city. We were courteously Received by Mr. Reid and were greatly impressed by the magnificent and spacious office which he maintains. In discussing the home problem in Corona we learned that there were really no actual colored settlements in that city, but that there are several refined colored families living in various parts of Corona. We also learned that buildings in Corona were not building one family houses any longer because of the fact that the price of a twenty (20) foot plot in that town averages $2,500 and upward, therefore two (2) family houses are considered a more profitable investment. After getting all details from Mr. Reid, we called at the office of the Homeseekers' Service Bureau, whose advertisement appears continually in the columns of the Amsterdam News. We were greeted by Mr. R. O. Gothard, the manager. After some discussion he motored around the town with us showing us several of the homes that are being opened to colored people. We were convinced that Corona is one of the finest subur- FALLS FROM STOOP.

After a day of disappointment we returned to Jamaica with a determination to encourage the present development in our own town. We have arrived at the following conclusions since our visit to Corona: The I. R. T. subway links Corona with the Metropolis, this accounts for increased value in property, making it very hard for the working man to own a home in that city. History always repent itself; we expect an extension of the subway to Jamaica at no distant date and property will be just, as high in Jamaica five (5) years from now as it is in Corona to-day. Very soon the poor workingman will have to look for a home at some further point in Long Island if he wants the same easy terms as are being offered in Jamaica at this time. The writer sincerely urges readers of the Amsterdam News who are contemplating the purchase of a suburban home to act at once if they are in a position to do so or NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1926 Jamaica Cottage 100 This Substantial House Was Built by the Sirwent Corporation for Colored Owners. they will surely look back in remorse five (5) years hence and will say, "Had we known then as we know now, we would have acted differently." Ohio Aroused by Plans for League Convention Committee Holds Preliminary Meeting—Interest Keen CLEVELAND, July 26.—Intense activity has characterized the past week in connection with preparations for the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held at Cleveland, August 18, 19 and 20. An All-Ohio Pre-Convention meeting was held at the Mt. Zion Congregational Church, where some two or three hundred prominent citizens from all sections of the State met to put into effect plans which have been worked out by the various members of the General Convention Committee of the Cleveland Negro Business Association. The convention committee and the entire membership of the Cleveland Negro Business Association were spurred at the Pre-Convention Meeting to greater effort in their arrangements for the convention by the address delivered by B. M. Roddy, vice-president at large and head of the regional work of the National Negro Business League, who made a special visit to Cleveland in the interest of the coming session. Vice-President Roddy especially praised the work headed by Attorney H. S. Chauncey, president of the Cleveland Negro Business Association, and that of the various convention committees. Letters, telegrams and telephone communications are flowing in to the headquarters of the General Convention Committee of the Cleveland Negro Business Association asking for reservations of exhibit space and arrangements for floats in the annual parade of the National Negro Business League, according to information received from the convention headquarters. "This," it is stated by Norman L. McGhoe, director of convention activities, "is the result of interest in the contest for the loving cup which is to be awarded the city in the United States which enters the best float in the annual parade representing what that city has to offer in the way of business opportunities for colored people and the best exhibit showing the product of and what is being done by the business enterprises operated by the colored people of that city."

Meanwhile, the Committee's investigating the Secretary's books. Oh, don't tell me, "the barber shouted, almost excitedly, you can't buy brotherhood; and I know it." "But those are just little petty matters that might arise anywhere among any people," I ventured soothingly. "Yes, but I'm through," the barber insisted. "I'm tired of all this brickbatting, and I ain't going to spare a one of 'em. I'm going to quit now, and get my affidavits ready." "But what have you to do with any affidavits?" I inquired, in wonderment. "Well, you see, I'm Treasurer, and—don't you need a shampoo, sir?" stuttered the barber. Evolution in Honolulu (and Elsewhere) YAKA HULA, Hickey Dula will be the swan song of Hawaii, according to Dr. Romanso Adams, Director of the Department of Sociology at the University of Hawaii, who is quoted as saying that "if interracial marriages in Hawaii continue at the present rate, it will be a wise child after a few generations who even knows to what race his ancestors belonged."

The pure-blooded Hawaiians and Portuguese are disappearing, while the part-Hawaiian and part-Portuguese groups are growing." Thus the conquest and absorption of blood continue in far-off Hawaii, as they have in the Philippines and elsewhere where might and right meet at the social crossroads, with the stronger absorbing the weaker. Even the American Indians, who made the strongest fight that has ever been made against the absorption processes of the advance guard of Civilization as set up by the white man, succumbed and lost a birthright in the maze of blood admixture. The U. S. Census figures show plainly what has happened to the Negro in the racial battle against absorption. Startling figures from states, which in their statute books bar intermarriage between whites and blacks, show that even the law does not suppress the call of the wild. Vaunted superiority falls when the acid test of dominating association comes. The vanishing Hawaiian, the vanishing blacks, and all other vanishing prototypes, along with the vanishing American (the Indian) at least have a just grievance against that wing of Civilization which continues to thrive upon the blood of the weaker races, with whom it comes into dominating contact as a "Missionary." BELL AND DELANY OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY According to announcements being sent out this week, the Bell and Delany Habedashery, located at 202 West 133th street, will celebrate its first anniversary beginning Friday. Speaking of the success of the concern, William K.

THEORETICALLY, we were opposed to this proposal because, if the so-called political beacon lights who profess to point the way for the masses of Negro voters would lay aside petty prejudices, selfishness and stupidity, a Negro would now be the political 1eader of both these districts, the majority of whose county committeemen are Negroes. It is a poor rule that will not work two ways. Ne- groes in Harlem have always had white district leaders; why should not white Republicans be willing to have a Negro district leader? ee ACTUALLY, it could not be much worse if the districts in question were divided and a leader elected in each end of the predominating race. Of course, by no stretch of the imagination is this democracy; nor, does it smack of that spirit of fair play the Republican party should be willing to accord the Negro for loyalty over all of his free and vot- ing years of existence in America. Cs VRAIN Yue Oe from the five districts embraced by the Twenty-first Congressional District met in convention last week and designated Emanuel Hurtz as the Republican designee for the congressional nomina- tion. This, to a certain extent, blasts the hopes of Negroes who wanted to see another Negro make the race for that office. The candidacy of Dr. Charles Roberts two years ago was not made along democratic lines, and for this rea: son must not be taken as a barometer of the will of the electorate beyond establishing the fact that white Republi- cans generally either refrain from yot- ing or cast their voes for Democrats when a Negro candidate for any office is in the field against a white candidate. EVEN IF ALL the Negro County Com- mitteemen had voted for one of the two Negroes nominated for the congres- sional designation last week, he could not have won without the assistance of about two score white County Commit: teemen. In fairness to David Costuma and Robert S. Conklin, leaders “of the Nineteenth and Twenty-first districts, respectively, it should be stated that all oi their County Committeemen, white and black, voted for Negro candidates, Costuma’s seventy votes going to Fred R. Moore and Conklin’s 166, except for thirteen cast for Moore, going for John Clifford Hawkins. PRACTICALLY the entire vote in the Thirteenth, Twenty-second and Twenty: third districts was cast for the winning nominee, In other words, as fast as the Negro becomes a factor in Harlem Re- publican politics, it is clearly demon: strated that in order to get the things his power should entitle him to he must fight his own party. It must not be for- gotten that at the last election white Republicans in the Nineteenth District re-elected a white Assemblyman and de- feated the colored candidate for Alder- man in the same district. YEAR BEFORE LAST when Dr. Roberts ‘ran for Congress he had little or no chance of winning, and for this reason his designation and nomination were ordered by political higher-ups to pull the wool over the eyes of the voters. This year when, if a candidate polled a little of the white vote and the Negro vote in the congressional district,«he would be elected, and knowing that there are not sufficient colored County Committeemen to dictate the designa- tion of a Negro, a convention is called and a white man elected in the open to run for the office. IF NEGROES are not permitted to sit in the same political game, which should be played with some degree of fairness for all concerned, they can at least play the same game among themselves and vote black, regardless of party, to off- set the white voters’ tendency to vote white, regardless to party. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Is Life Worth Living? By T. THOMAS FORTUNE By°T, THOMAS FORTUNE ‘Most questions answer themselves. It is in the nature of the question, syllableally ‘divided tn its Several parts, to answer itself, but few people take the trouble to-make the analysis, if they could, indeed, do st by trying. You bave to know how. ‘As with a word, 2 sentence, e question, analyzo it properly and made up ot many syllables, some of them of foreign origin, and unless we are Wise. to this fact confusion will follow In getting at the truth, In the main. it 1s not necessary to do this. Fo the average mind tho average word means just what it is generally understocd to mean, and that suffices, ' is life worth living? would appear on the surface to be a foolish question, because it 1s one of the most common things of buman and other animate creatures (0 cling to life, Bowever horrific {t may become to them, Ordinarily life contains much to ive for aad mankind sacrifices everything som times In sevking to obtain the things ‘* imust desires, ‘The lures of ambitfon are many and all of them are dangerous becaitse not allowed, but unless man- find strives to oblain them, mostly from the selfish desire, theré would be little if any progress. It is with those who accept what 1s and who desire ad strive for no change for the better, who have fewest needs and thus find most satistaction in living. Spr. Glenn Frank, che young president of the Unl- ‘versity of Wisconsia, in.his weekly syndicated talks, and they are always Worth reading, recently dis- fussed the subject, “Life Is Worth Living,” and, ‘among other things, sald: We migbt increase the happiness and doublo the efictency of Ur childrea if we taught them early to frame thelr ambitions in the light of their abilities. ‘Our whole conception of ambition has been fosgy and indefinite. “We shold pull the idea of ambition down out of the cloudland of the abstract and make, it clear and concrete.

Although the North woke more than 2 year ago to the realization that there was in these United States of America a New Negro, a colored Amert- can who shared only color jn common with the conventional Uncle. Tom type, the South is only now shaking {tself from a deep slumber to discover that the old type of Negro is either completely gone, or Js at least moribund. One of tho most picturesque and sentimental public recognitions of the passing of the Uncle Tom type is under way in Louisiana, where a southern gentleman with tender memorles and lavish hand is about to have erected a statue in memory of “the good old darkies’ of bygone times. He is seeking to immortalize the man who gave unending service and asked no reward but the smile of the master; the man who basked in the favor of “the great house” on onc day, and who cringed from the lash of the whip on the next. To concelve the state of mind which prompted the action of this gentleman {s not hard. To sym- pathize with that attitude is quite another matter.

And for this good reason that the funny stories about the Negro, which dominate this yolume, are fresh, spontaneous and amazingly funny. Mr. Pickens has also some good Jewish and frish sto- ries, but, at least to his white readers, they will have an ancient and fish-like smell.” But, while we will hear Booker Washington's voice as we read some of these colored bits, they will smell fresh, salty: They arc un- Especially does the Negro preacher enliven the pages, The illiterate black man who feels a call to preach, and with the Bible as his, whole library, shouts the gospel to his. flock, Will, in @ goneration or tivo, have ‘passed away. From the stand- point of ‘ethics this will be a Reod thing, but the coming min- fater, who will find much of his kespel in the morning newspe- per, will lack in noble imagery. ‘The two longest and most in- teresting tales that the book contains concern Negro preach- ers, the one standing in the Sls- tine chapel In front of Michael Angelo’s Last Judgment, the oth- er facod by the catastrophe of the eruption of Mt. Pelee. After tolling how the Last Judgment shonid have been paluted. how lacking it was in horses and chariots, In avgels blowing their trumpets, how Mi chael should have been there and Gabriel, with his wings stretched toward the East and toward the West, the one color- €d preacher says: “Mr. Angelo aln’t never had tho tenth part of the necessary inspiration. “Without the aid of the speerit he did very well. but yhen T stood there and contem- Plated the missing parts of his picture T had to say in my heart: ‘Well, here's an amatour.’” And the other preacher ex- Plained volcanic erupt{on to the Negroes of Coosa County with an imagination that a scientist might envy. “In de beginnin’ de Lord made de carth round, Now, when a thing ts roun' it’s made to go roun’ an’ roun'.

They go out, catch a broath of fresh alr and after a while 50 in again, and this con- Unues until the work ts done.” “How much do these workers get for this fob?" * “1 do not now." “What kind of work re you doing?” ; ‘Cam a stilt map.” “and how much are you get- ting?” “Eighty cents an hour." “T suppose the skilled fobs are more or less in the bands of the “American-born.” “Yos.” The fellow with whom T walk: ed was a fine young, intelligent chap. But he hardiy realized the true and important meaning of the story which he told me. t wonder whether he ever ponder- ed over these divisions existing among the. workers in the plant where he works. The skilled Amerfean-born on the top of the scale, the foreign- born next, and then the Negro at the bottom, doing the hardest, the most detestable, exhausting and iMline work. “Inferiority Complexes” Do many cclored people, be- cause ‘of a consclousness of prejudice of others, show an in- ferority feeling in presence of such others? ‘The following paragraph, In a letter from a white woman of Seattle, Washington, who {s at the head of the “International House.” near the campus of the ‘University of Washington, ad- dressed to William Plekens of New York fs significant: “It seems to me that the at- tltude you. recommend—courte- ous militancy, looking for, and demanding, fair play for all races {s just what all the non- “qvhite”” races ‘should cultivate: but unfortunately, you see, they don't.

HENRY. B. WELKINSON, Keeping Fit a , By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. ‘a IO HIS is inflammation of the sebaceous or vil glands of the skin. It is a very common condition in young men and women..It comes at the time ‘of adolescence and early manhood and womanhood. “Chis condition pro duces pimples and ptistules. ou. the face and back. leaving a dark blotch after each papule or postule has dried up It is an ugly disfigurement of the skin, especially when it occurs on the face. ‘The beauty and good: looks of a woman are altered and the embarrassing scars are annoy- ing to men. This condition can he helped, but it needs een eeteree rie re, se ‘This condition starts with a “blackhead,” which was sup- pored formerly to be due to the locking of the sebaceous or oily gland of the skin by dried secre- ticns and immeture balrs. This bas been found to be not scien- tifically so, Instead, - these “bleckheads” are really a dense mass of acne dacilla. (germs) en- elosed in a sheath of dead skin, which have heen thrown out. by the spidermis, or skin. as a pro- tection against the ache germs. This condition occurs at pu- verty, because the sex glands are active at this time and cause a stimulative action to the olf glands of the skin, The skin ‘becomes extremely ‘oily. which makes a suitable soil for the acne dacillf to - flourish on. Greasiness of the skin fs. there- fore, the suitable condition on which acne develops. Th the treatment of this dis ease it Is necessary in the carly stages to try. to control the oily state of the skin and to re- miove the colontes of acne“germs from tho mouths of the off skin sands. The face should be thorough. ly cleansed with soap and wa- tor every evening and then a sul- phur lotion applied and allowed ti dry on. ‘The blackheads should be expressed by an in- strument made for {hat purpose by a skin expert or a physician. It pus has formed in the pim- ples. a euiphur and _resorein paste should be applied at bed time, instead of the sulphur lo- tion.’ Anemia. constipation and indigestion, if present. help to increase the trouble. Yeast tak- en. internally sometimes ‘acts well, X-Ray Meht or ultra-violet Urht applied to the skin” are great aids in the cure of this dis. ease. = Howard University School of Law * WASHINGTON, D.
