ST. NICHOLAS AVENUE FIRE SURVIVORS ASK $250,000 The South and the Ballot CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM FRANCIS STEVENSON. Democrat, of South Carolina, while in debate in the House just a few days ago, made some courteous and significant remarks concerning the Negro and the ballot in the dear old Southland. Among other things, the Congressman said: "I want to tell you that in South Carolina the Constitution gives any man the right to vote who has $300 worth of property on the tax books and pays his taxes, or WHO CAN READ THE CONSTITUTION. There is not a colored man in the State of South Carolina who cannot register and vote if he comes within that limitation, and when he does his vote is counted. We count them and we give them (the colored people) their rights, and they vote today, and we invite anybody who wants to to come down and see whether we are living up to the Fifteenth Amendment." In answer to a query by Congressman Wainwright, Republican of New York, asking "How large a colored population in South Carolina votes today?" Congressman Stevenson replied, "NONE." The debate brings out a pertinent theory and a pertinent fact. The theory is that colored citizens of South Carolina can vote, and the fact is, according to Congressman Stevenson, that they DO NOT VOTE. We wonder why. Can it be that, in the face of the great need of the race ballot, since the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, that the colored people of South Carolina ignore the sacred privilege of the ballot? Can it be that, with the potential voting force which they COULD NOT HAVE, they are sleeping upon their rights? Is it a fact that in South Carolina, where the allotment for the education of each colored school boy and girl is far under that for each white pupil the Negroes, of their own free will, stay away from the ballot box, the greatest solvent of civic fills in the land? Can it be that, with lynchings raging in South Carolina, the colored "VOTERS" can do nothing to stop the crime or to punish the offenders by at least removing negligent officials from office and stopping official malfeasance? We wonder! If so, then it is time to talk about the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment. If not, it is time for the colored people of the South and their friends the country over to make a plea to Congress and to the country denying the allegations of Congressman Stevenson and showing just why the theory and the fact, as announced by him, are as far at variance as the Pacific Ocean is from the Dead Sea. THAT segregated public schools are socially and educationally harmful in the misperformance of the general purpose they essay to accomplish is demonstrated time and time again. Already the discriminatory allotment of the public school funds in such typical Southern States as South Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama is exacting an appalling educational toll in the hopes and ambitions of Negro youth as compared with those of the whites. stimulated by generous appropriations for adequate teaching salaries, space and equipment.

Granted a New Trial in 12-Year Murder Case (Proston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Jan. 10. William Holt, who was convicted in April, 1926, of second degree murder for a killing committed 12 years ago, was granted a new trial last Thursday by Judge Heminger, who said that the verdict was not warranted by the evidence. He said the conviction was made on testimony of three witnesses who had never seen Holt until the day previous to the murder and yet were positive of the identification of Holt at the trial. The opinion of the judge stated that Holt was about 30 years old at the time of his conviction and the murder had occurred when he was a youth of 18. Judge Heminger said that he had investigated the case privately. Holt was convicted of the murder of Helen Schelton, aged 26 years, of 24 Lorgan street. Chairman Feared Washington Hotel Would Not Serve Them WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—On the ground that there was some objection to their sitting at the banquet table four Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church absented themselves from the conference here Friday of the National Citizens Committee of One Thousand for Law Enforcement and Law Observance. Officers of the committee, said today that the invitations to the Bishops had not been withdrawn. One of the Bishops, E. D. Jones of Washington, said Carlton N. Sherwood, executive secretary of the committee, had visited him three times to advise him of the situation and Sherwood finally had suggested that the Bishops attend the business meeting which was held between the luncheon and banquet sessions. W. T. Galliher of Washington, chairman of the Committee in Arrangements, said some apprehension had been felt over the attitude of the hotel in serving dinners to Negroes. "We did not want to take any chance on trouble." Mr. Galliher said, "but we did not withdraw the invitations to the Bishops. Mr. Sherwood advised them of the situation at the Willard Hotel, and it was explained we did not know the attitude of the hotel, although we were afraid there might be some objection." Bishop Jones said today he would ask the conference of Bishops of the church to consider the question in its meeting next week in Jacksonville, Fla. FALLS PROVE FATAL TO TWO HARLEMITES Two persons died Monday from injuries received from falls. Mrs. George Grant, 24, 555 St. Nicholas avenue, is said to have received a fractured skull when she fell in her home and died in Harlem Hospital shortly after. Charles Dean, 41, 233 West 121st street, accidently fell from his bed in Harlem Hospital, where he had been removed because of illness. This occurred Sunday, and Monday Dean died from the result of the tumble of only a few inches. PASS BAR EXAMINATION. William T. Andrews Jr., 1845 Seventh avenue; James W.

One thousand four hundred and seventy-five took the examination and 733 passed. ADOLPH HOWELL LOSES IN RECOUNT OF BALLOTS Albert Grossman Re-elected by 117 Instead of 102 Votes as Previously Reported - 810 Voided Ballots The recount of the November election votes by the Board of Electors disclosed that H. Adolph Howell, Republican candidate for the Assembly, was defeated by Albert Grossman, Democrat, by 117 votes, instead of 102 as previously recorded. The investigation into the count of votes was contended for by Attorney John W. Remer, counsel for Mr. Howell, when it was learned that there were 800 blank and void ballots. "The total of the blank and void ballots, an average of about twenty to a district, is contrary to all experience and in itself indicates possible irregularities and errors, especially in an election with a result so close as in this one." Howell got 6,101 of the total 13,285 cast, while Grossman received 8,203. While in some instances a number of Howell ballots had been nullified, in others Grossman lost heavily. But after all the ballots and been recounted Grossman was victor by 117 votes, whereas the previous returns showed that he had a margin of only 102. Everything was on the level, according to the statement of Mr. Remer, who was counselor for the Republican candidate. There were Republican and Democratic representatives at each table besides the legal advisors of the contesting candidates. There will be no further efforts to try to prove error in the count, Mr. Remer said, having been "cleanly licked." In addition to these statements the attorney predicted a victory for the Republican faction next year. "If we hang together as we did this year," he declared, "we have seen the last Democratic assemblyman from the Twenty-first District." COP OVERTAKES MAN HE SAYS HIT HIM While Patrolman Arthur Hebron of the fourth precinct police station was endeavoring to disperse a crowd that had gathered in front of a house at 29 William street Newark, he was hit in the back. He chased and overtook Walter Simmons of 31 William street and placed him under arrest. DETECTIVES DIVORCES. INVESTIGATIONS. Ete. BOULIN DETECTIVE AGENCY 119 East 183th St. parliament 5142 (day) Brnd. 9650 (night) THE NEW YORK Tailor Shop Employee Freed of Kape Charge Daniel T. Holmes, 65, and employed in the tailor shop of Isenhill and Caines at 251 West 130th street, was acquitted before a jury in the Court of General Sessions Part 3, before Judge Corrineus F Collins, on Thursday. He was indicted, charged with statutory rapion Ethel Regent, on June 12, of 2499 Eighth avenue, on Nov 15, last. Vernon C. Riddick, 256, seventh avenue, attorney for Holmes, in the cross-examination of the complainant and her supporting witness, Lillian Austin, white, age 14, destroyed the State's case. It appeared that the girl-played hookey from Public School No 119 on Nov. 15, and came to the tailor shop. They went for coffee at the request of the defendant and were paid for their services, he testified. The girls alleged that the aged man first made improper advances to them and followed them from the tailor shop into a rear greaseway, where they clad he forcibly attacked the complainant. To Hibernate Until Spring Man Given Three Months' Sentence in Workhouse for Begging About April 10 when the pretty birdies will be singing sweet melodies, the little blades of grass will be peeping their tender heads above the moist soil, and the blossoming trees will be basking cheerfully in the bright sunlight, there will be emerging from his winter headquarters to join in the celebration of welcoming spring, a towering figure who answers to the name of Henry Hiat, 26 years old. Hiat will be just completing a three wintry months stay in the workhouse. An Amsterdam News reporter was in the West 15th street police station Sunday night at 9 o'clock when Hiat was brought in and charged with begging from storekeepers along Lenox avenue. He was arrested at 14th street and Lenox avenue. He claimed he had no name and was unable to remember when he had worked last. He looked like a typical bun and was lilty. The hear on his head and long and curly while that on his chin was equally bad. He was thinly clad in pistol begged trousers and a "tropical" overcoat. A hole as large as a frying pan had been burned in the seat of the coat. However, as he was being quizzed by the police he did not appear worried, for behind those squinting watery eyes was a sign of contentment. He nursed a simple smile that gave evidence of being satisfied. He perhaps was glad to get in out of the cold. When arraigned in Teenth District Court before Magistrate Gottlieb he was sentenced to three months in the workhouse. Two Pullman Porters Injured in Wreck C. E. Kendrick. 267 West 125th street, this city, a Pullman porter on the Twentieth Century Limited's observation car, was hurt seriously when two castbound sections of the train crashed in a fog early Monday morning at Savannah, N.

Hayes, of Tarrytown, Starts Suit Against His Wife, Naming Benny Walton - Wisk and Bible in Room A doctor suit, which is likely to bring several persons into the limelight, among which are alleged to be a leading newspaper man, a leading lawyer, a druggist in New Jersey, a butler, a waiter in a Westchester Club and a barber, has been tried by Attorney Richard E. Carey, on behalf of James E. Hayes of 27 Maple street, Tarrytown, N. Y. Hayes has started suit against his wife, Elsie, as the result of a raid made by the Boston Detective Agency on a well-known hotel Sunday morning, at which time Mrs. Hayes was said to have been surprised in a room with Benny Walton the barber in question, of 2174 Seventh avenue, who lives at 130th street, near Eighth avenue. Walton, it is said, was in his papamas, while a bottle of whiskey and a Bible were on the bureau drawer. Mrs. Hayes, it is said, after being separated from her husband, had been living in Peekskill, N. Y., and had come to New York, where she had resumed her maiden name of Moshier. She lived at 1900 Seventh avenue. After boiling the hair of Mrs. Hayes, Saturday night, Walton is said to have strolled over to his home and later, trailed by the detectives, went to the hotel, where they registered as Mr. and Mrs. Watson of Philadelphia. Hayes intends to submit as evidence several letters said to be taken from Mrs. Hayes, written by her admirers. Among them is one from one Eddie Banks, 130 St. Nicholas avenue, which is full of endearment, and concludes: "Your daddy always, Eddie." Mr. and Mrs. Hayes were married June 26, 1918.

Lewis, handwriting expert, produced Monday by George Z. Medule, Mrs. Sissle's counsel, informed the court that the handwriting on a receipt signed "Mrs. Mattle Pelming" was that of a right handed person. Mrs. Sissle is left handed. At her first trial it was charged that the handwriting on the receipt was hers. Sissle testified that his income, from musical compositions and vaudeville sketches, was in the neighborhood of $20,000 a year, and that he kept his wife well supplied with funds. Man Mysteriously Shot in Hallway Says He Was Attacked by Two Unknown Men Shot in the leg during an altercation with two unknown men Friday caused Charles Basemore, 31. 126 East 105th street, to be removed to Harlem Hospital in a dangerous condition. It was at 6:30 a. m. in the hallway on the fourth floor of 71 West 135th street, where the mysterious fight with the two unknown men is said to have taken place. It is believed that the altercation had taken place in one of the apartments and Basemore had been placed in the hall. The shot was heard by several persons, who were unable to determine whether the shooting took place in the hallway or in an apartment. However, with the blood gushing from his wound, Basemore was taken into Apartment 17 by Miss Kathworth, where he was attended by Dr. Allen of Harlem Hospital and later removed there. The injured man's assaults escaped before arrival of police. Child's Skull Fractured in Automobile Mishap Taken to Harlem hospital in a near dying condition.

According to reports, the child was walking west on 138th street and as he attempted to cross to the south side of the street he was struck by the cab. He was rushed to Harlem hospital where it is claimed that his skull was fractured and that he suffered from possible internal injuries and other bone fractures. It is claimed that the machine was operated by Mack W. Degman, 464 East 138th street. Mr. and Mrs. I. Find, 35 Ft. Washington avenue, and several children witted the accident. HARVARD U. SENIOR HAD BEEN ACCUSED OF THEFT Leslie E. Brevard, of Worcester, Was Senior and Honor Student — Found Unconscious in Room From Gas Poisoning CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 10. — A few hours after he had been implicated in the theft of a watch, Leslie E. Brevard, 21, a senior at Harvard University and an honor student, was found unconscious from gas poisoning in his room at No. 42 Holyoke street. Cambridge, and removed to the Stillman Infirmary, where he died Thursday. Cambridge police have recorded the death of young Brevard as a suicide. Two gas jets in the room he occupied at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Johnson, at the Holyoke street address, were open. Mental derangement caused by prolonged studying and financial difficulties are believed responsible for the tragedy. According to the police on last Tuesday Miss Henrietta Smith of 48 Norfolk street, Cambridge, reported that a hope chest in her home had been broken open and a Swiss watch stolen from it. Investigating the case the police recovered the watch at the Harvard Loan Company, 450 Massachusetts avenue. From the description of the person who pawned the watch and the name given, the police arrested Brevard. While there is no record of Brevard's arrest at any Cambridge police station, Chief of Police McBride read to the reporters what he said is a record on the blotter of the inspector's department. A young man of that name has recently been in the civil courts and in the poor debtors' session, indicating that Brevard has been in financial difficulties. Brevard was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Brevard of 9 Clive street, and had lived here the greater part of his life until he left to enter Harvard. The Brevards are perhaps the best-known family of colored people in this city. He attended the new Woodland street Grammar School and completed a four-year course in Worcester South High School in 1923. While at high school he was a member of the school orchestra and glee club and an enthusiastic worker in the science club. Besides his parents, Brevard is survived by two sisters, Edna E. and Evelyn R. and two brothers, Ellsworth F. and Joseph H. Jr. INACCURACIES AND CORRECTIONS The photograph of J. A.

Newark Citizens Call Conference to Get Colored Men on the Police Force Urban League Secretary Sponsors Meeting—Letter From Director of Public Safety Favorable—Urge Young Men to Take Examination A conference of citizens of Newark was called by William M. Ashby, executive secretary of the New Jersey Urban League, in the League's offices, 212 Bank street, Newark, last Tuesday, to discuss methods of getting colored men into the Police Department of that city. At the conference it was pointed out that Newark is one of the very few large cities in the country which does not have a single Negro patrolman. At the conference, Mr. Ashby read a letter which he had recently received from Director William J. Brennan of the Department of Public Safety in Newark, under whose department the police force operates. Attending the conference were the Rev. L. C. Hurde, pastor. Director Brennan stated that he felt that there should be colored men in the department and that he was anxious to appoint some. Under existing conditions, he said, he could not do so, for the law provided that appointments can be made only from a civil service list. In the past only three Negroes have survived the tests which would make them eligible. It was the decision of the conference that young men of good moral and physical character be sought out and given a regular course of physical training and be Vapo-Cresolene makes a strong appeal to those afflicted with Bronchial Asthma, because the little lamp, used at night, is at work vaporizing the soothing remedy while the patient sleeps and the difficult breathing is quickly relieved.

Fire Damages 131st St. 7-Story Loft Building Five floors of a seven-story loft building at 65-72 East 123rd street near Park avenue were badly damaged by a fire which broke out late Friday night on the fourth floor. Three alarms were tuned in, and in spite of the numerous pieces of apparatus, it was an hour before the fames were lessened so that the men could enter the building. Several of the floors were unoccupied. Although their home was not undangered, the family of Edward Johnson, 65 East 123rd street, was ordered out by the police as a precautionary measure. A number of other families in the row of three-story houses which adjoined the burning loft building were told to be ready to leave, but this measure was not needed. RECEIVED FRACTURED SKULL.

She then notified the Kossof Construction Co. who have charge of the construction work, and when unable to come to a settlement, she sued that firm for $1,000. Fire Survivors Ask $250,000 Fire Survivors Ask $250,000 (Continued from Page 1) the Fire Department, contrary to the city ordinances and the contract between the engineering company and the city. The complaints which were served upon the company yesterday and one of which was filed in the County Clerk's Office to say, allege that the contract between the engineering company and the city provides that free access must be given to every fire hydrant, and that, where a hydrant is obstructed, suitable tubes or piping to an accessible point as approved by the City Engineer and the Chief of the Fire Department shall be provided, and the complaint charges that this was not done, thereby im- peding the progress of the Fire De The complaint further sets forth that the contract between the contracting company and the city provides that no building shall be deprived of means of access without the consent of the occupant or owner, and that where streets are open onto the bridges shall be built and maintained. The paintists charge that the Rossoff Engineering Company failed to deck or cover over the street in front of the premises where the fire occurred. The photograph annexed to the complaint shows a large open space in front of the premises which, it is charged, prevented the fire apparatus, particularly the hook and ladder, from approaching gear enough to the building to extend its ladder to the paintists who were entrapped in the upper floors of the burning building. It is also charged that, by reason of the uncovered excavation, that breaches and other life-saving appearances could not be used by the fire department. Tenants who jumped from the fire landed at the bottom of the excavation. Others he said were severely burned and injured by reason of the fact that the ladder, owing to the excavation, did not reach to the top floor where some of the plaintiffs were entrapped. The plaintiffs are Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Panho their children, Isaac and Deliana, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Allen, Ramio Ramio also sons for the death of his son Edwin, and his daughter Marjorie. New York Wee Bit Better in 1926 1. Records Show That 75, 962 Were Convicted of Crimes ALBANY, Jan. 11. - All in all the newspaper fraternity did its self proud last year, in spite of the fact that the printers were rather inclined to smudge court calendars a bit more than during 1925. All of this is in black and white, set forth in the annual report on criminal statistics handed to the State Legislature recently by Florence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of State. Thirteen appeared to be unlucky for the pressmen, for that number found themselves in the toils of justice to twelve the year before, and a solitary proofreader made his mark at the docker, while the tables were turned and four reporters were interviewed by the court. Two editors fell from their lofty perch, and a couple of men who styled themselves as "journalists" cramped in court. Despite the fact that 17,662 persons were convicted last year in New York State, the eleven million and more residents behaved a bit better than in 1925, when convictions reached 71,201. And not a single person among those convicted admitted being a bootlegger. And that in the face of 15,197 persons convicted of intoxication last year to 15,670 the year before. There were twenty-one convictions for first degree murder to fourteen in 1925, and fifty for second degree murder, to thirty-two the year before. No less than thirty-eight janitors carried out court orders instead of ashes. One lumberjack was on the skids. 124 machinists monkeyed with the cogs of law, three manicurists trimmed other than nails, twenty-seven musicians played the wrong tune, and as for nailers, 239 were danbed by the law. There were nine policemen who walked a beat that led to the court, a couple of pugilists took an upper cut administered by the strong arm of the law, and 131 sailors so trimmed their sails as to land in court. Two ushers took seats before the judge and someone watched twenty-two wait at them. One wrestler lost in the strangle-hold and 165 cooks dishd up a mess that disgruntled the court. There were three dentists that called something besides teeth, 162 farmers wandered, four acrobats did a hop and fourteen candel-makers found themselves in a sweet fix.

Buck White. 584 Lenox avenue, found his mother-in-law, Mrs. Bradford Johnson, dead in bed at the above address at 5:15 Saturday morning. An ambulance was summoned and upon arrival of Dr. Allen of Harlem hospital he pronounced her dead. The death was natural. HIT BY TAXI At 14:58 street and Seventh avenue Saturday, John Hawkins, 102 103 West 14:58 street, was struck, knocked down and badly hurt by a taxi cab. He was attended by an ambulance doctor and later taken to his home. The car is said to have been driven by William Whartley, 246 119th street, and owned by Louis Schmidt, 1957 Jerome avenue. HAD LOADED GUN. According to police, Leonard Parks, 38, 2318 Eighth avenue, a bricklayer, had in his possession a fully loaded 33-callibre revolver Saturday without a permit.

This simply means that Negro students are actually barred from the medical department at the University of Pittsburgh. Full emancipation is certainly seriously needed in this connection." SENATOR REED PRESENT. Mr. Buchanan spoke in the presence of United States Senator David A. Reed, who is a trustee of the University of Pittsburgh and City Councilman James F. Malone. When Senator Reed referred to Mr. Buchanan's charge about conditions at the University of Pittsburgh, he expressed great surprise regarding the statement that colored students were not admitted to the medical department of the university and said he would immediately move to remedy the situation. UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS Mr. Buichanan's speech brought forth an immediate public denial in the white daily papers on the part of university officials. Secretary Linhart answered the charge through the white press by explaining that medical students were "advised of a situation which Job not work to their best advantage." He said that in clinics for students the hospital patients have objected strenuously to the presence of Negroes at their bedside. This opposition, he explained, was the chief bar against the Negroes, rather than the university's attitude. Negro students, themselves, have realized for the most part that they are not being opposed by the university, said Dr. Linhart, who added that their admission to other courses supported his statement. HITS TEXAS VOTING. "There were fifteen counties in Texas during an election where the polls were not open but the vote tainted," declared Sonata-David A. Reed, one of the principal speakers. His reference was made in restatement of the charges that Ponis-yuliavna, with its "two wards," was notorious for its elections. This state is being attacked by those who have no right to do so, he declared, and likened them to the man living in a glass house and throwing stones. The general topic of his address was "intolerance," which he condemned in its outstanding form, the Ku Klux Klan, and in the various little discriminations against those of different race or religion. He drew the end of the klan, pointing to the fact that the klan is growing weaker and weaker. Senator Read declared that if it is true that the University of Pittsburgh discriminated against the Negro by not permitting any person of that race to matriculate in the medical school, "I as a trustee will try to see that such conditions are rectified." More than 2,000 attended the celebration, including a considerable number of white people. Councilman James F. Maloas was one of the speakers and introduced Senator Reed. W. S. Bushman was chairman of the meeting. Other speakers included the Rev. Scott Wood, Atty. William M. Randolph, Assistant City Solicitor; Mrs. Sarah M. Clanahan, Pittsburgh's policewoman; the Rev. E. L. Madison, pastor John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church; the Rev. C. B. Allen, pastor Bothera Presbyterian Church, and Atty. P. J. Clyde Randall. The celebration, sponsored by the United Colored Societies of Allegheny County, was the result of the efforts of James E. Littlejohn, W. E. Gibbons, James N. Ramsey, Harry G. Washington, Dr. Dudley G. King, Col. Frank Sutton, Miss Martha Hill, Gerald Hill, Finley T. Davis, W. T. Tinker, Mrs. Fannie M. Scott, Mrs. Dafsy E. Lampkin, Catherine Webster, the Rev. U. G.

PARKS AND WALKING MARKET PARKS AND WALKING MARKET PARKS AND WALKING MARKET NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 12, 1927 Alice Jones Is Still Mrs. Rhinelander Alice Jones Is Still Mrs. Rhinelander Appellate Division Refuses to Set Decision of Lower Court Aside By a decision handed down by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, sitting in Brooklyn last week, Alice Jones is still Mrs. Lenard Kip Rhinelander. The court refused to set aside the decision of the lower court. Former Justice Isaac N. Mills, counsel for the young millionaire, attempted to get a new trial on the ground that in his charge to the jury the trial judge, Justice Morschauser, had not instructed it to draw unfavorable references from the failure of Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander and her father to take the stand. CAN APPEAL FURTHER. On that point the Appellate Division, with only one dissenting voice, ruled that Mr. Milla should have made his point at the time of the trial and naked the trial Judge then to include the desired matter in the charge. The majority opinion was given by Justice Kelly, Manning, Jaycox and Young. The dissenting opinion was by Justice Lazansky, whose difference of opinion gives Mr. Milla an opportunity to go before the Court of Appeals at Albany to carry the case still higher without first obtaining permission of the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division also upheld Justice Morschauser's action in granting Mrs. Rhinelander an additional $12,000 for counsel fees. Mrs. Rhinelander was represented by Judge Samuel F. Swinburne of New Rochelle. THREE PERSONS SLAIN IN PHILA. BATTLES PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.—The police are investigating the murders of three persons here during New Year's Day.

Painter, Working in Lift Shaft, Hurt While painting an elevator shaft in an apartment building at 684 St. Nicholas avenue, Friday, Archibald Kelly, 30, 211 East Eighty-eighth street, was struck by the descending elevator and knocked unconscious.

N. Y. Jan. 10.—Charles Goldison, Edgar Humes and George Williams were put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison late Thursday night for the murder of William M. Young, white, an aged watchman, during a silk robbery in a loft at 575 Elghth avenue, about a year ago. A plan made by Williams to commit suicide was frustrated earlier in the day. He had fastened four towels together for a noose to hang himself, but a keeper noticed a suspicious bulge in a pocket and seized the towels. Later Williams was passing in front of the cell of Humes, who had expressed considerable feeling against him because Humes felt that Williams had "squealed" to the police. As Williams went by in the custody of the keeper with a small towel around his shoulders. Humes exclaimed: "If I could get hold of that towel, buddy, I'd squeeze it around your neck and save the executioner a job." Goldson and Humes were 22 years old. Williams was 26. They came from the West Indies a few months before the murder. Before he died Williams wrote a letter to Herbert Koerber, white, "cake-cater handit," who will have a new trial after spending some time in the death house. Williams urged Koerber to avoid evil companions and keep out of trouble in the future. JAN CL BR BET. FIFTH FU AND LENDX. AVES 45- JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE BRACKEN BET. FIFTH FURNITURE CO.

But for the nearness of the 153th street Hook and Ladder Company, and the early discovery of the blaze, considerable damage might have been done to the stock of the cigar store on the street floor. A pile of trash had been allowed to accumulate in the basement of the combined store and apartment house near the dumb-elevator. This heap was discovered burning by the fanitor, who made futile efforts to extinguish the blaze without aid of the fire department. Fire Chief G. E. Webber laid the olame on carelessness of both the occupants of the house for throwing rubbish down the shaft and the fanitor for allowing it to accumulate. William Varecka, white, superintendent of the building, said tenants often threw lighted cigarettes down the dumbwalter shaft. The property was insured.

The cheesecloth should literally hundreds of women—be washed in cold water after us and a surprising number of men—ing and renewed at least once a have asked me this question in one week. Keep the bag always moist form or another. And it's an important one—for what can be more blighting to domestic happiness than as the actual brewing. Good than a cup of muddy coffee or coffee can so easily be spoiled by fee improperly "creamed?" And, using cream of inferior quality on the contrary, what can be more the "top of the bottle" if carelessly exhalilating than a good cup—fragranced off. In my study of food grant, golden, delicious? Luckily, there's no hidden secret about making and serving the perfect coffee—it's just a matter of minding your pips and pips and following a few simple directions. Selection of Coffee. There are many excellent brands of coffee in the market—the choice of one of these is largely a matter of individual taste. But I do want to say that usually coffee in the bean retains its flavor longer than in the ground form—so, if possible, buy the whole beans and grind your coffee fresh for each meal it however, the breakfast hour or fifteen minutes—is too hectic to admit of this extra step, at least keep your ground coffee in an air-tight container—a glass fruit jar, for instance. And it's well to remember that the more finely the coffee is ground the easier it is to extract its full strength and flavor—consequently finely ground coffee is economical and time-saving. Connolseurs maintain that coffee brewed in a metal pot has a less delicious flavor than in a container of glass, stone ware or arate. Whatever kind of coffee pot you prefer—it should be scoured frequently and occasionally "boiled out" with water to which a pinch of baking soda has been added—then rinsed, dried and left uncovered. If a percolator is used, the pipe should be carefully washed every day with a brush to remove all scum from the preceding brew.

The Coffee Pot For drip coffee, if you do not have a special drip coffee pot, an ordinary one equipped with a double cheesecloth bag will serve the purpose. The cheesecloth should be washed in cold water after using and renewed at least once a week. Keep the bag always moist. The "Creaming." This I consider quite as important as the actual brewing. Good coffee can so easily be spilled by using cream of inferior quality or the 'top of the bottle' if carelessly poured off. In my study of food habits I am finding that every year more and more people prefer sweetened condensed milk in their coffee. You see, this kind is twice as rich and creamy as ordinary milk and, furthermore, already contains sugar, thus serving the additional purpose of sweetening the coffee. Try it for a few days and I think you will agree that the condensed milk gives a delightfully rich, smoothly blended drink, bringing out the real coffee flavor. And, of course, it is very convenient, as it keeps fresh without ice even after the can is opened—and the cost is extremely moderate. Now as to the actual methods of brewing. There are several and your choice is entirely a matter of individual taste. If the directions are carefully followed, any of the methods will yield the 'perfect cup of coffee'—mellow in flavor, with a delicate, fragrant aroma, free from sediment and of a dark golden hue. Baked Coffee. Rinse the pot with hot water, put the coffee in the pot—rounded up in a shallow amount of medium-ground coffee with additional spoonfuls of the pot. Add a little white or egg, or crushed egg shell and about one-fourth of cold water, stirring briskly. Add the boiling water, place the pot on a heat-resistant board, and boil until back of the slave or over low heat for about ten minutes to settle before serving. Do not allow the coffee to be unsettled by careful pouring. Use one cup of mild-ground coffee to six cups of boiling water. Place the coffee in the strainer in the upper bowl and dip up through the tube, percolating through the coffee into the lower part, until the coffee is of the desired strength. If necessary, require, serve at once. Coffee made in a percolator is not good if allowed to cook after the required strength is reached. Steep Coffee. Heat the pot by mixing in hot water, and wet the strainer. Measure carefully the amount of ground tablepoon to each cup of water. Place in the dipremedium and pour boiling water through the coffee very thoroughly and serve immediately. Do not allow the brew to cool. If service is delayed, place the pot in or over hot water. Never reheat by placing in the additional spoon for the pot. Add cold water. Place over the fire and be quicky to the boiling point. Either let it stand in a marmit or to settle or add a cold water. Remember—the best coffee will lose its flavor if allowed to stand. Coffee should always be freshly made and served piping hot as soon as it is brewed. If necessary to let stand, the pot should be tightly covered and the spout closed by stuffing with soft cloth or paper so that none of the aroma and flavor may be lost.

SOCIAL SIG Club Dance, Red Street and Seventh Hall Square Club with street and E FROM Berlin emanates the suggestion that the international hair bob must go and that every nation ought to have its individual style of hairstyle. Doubtless the idea was generated in a spirit of fun, for it is reported that a humorous journal in the German capital has cartooned the ladies of the various nations with hair-dressing in simulation of the eminent and popular leaders of government in their home lands. The sleek, round head of Baldwin and the curling fringes of Ramsay MacDonald for the supporters of government or the opposition in Britain lend themselves very nicely to the women of England. Hindenburg's crisp leeks will be a model for German women; but what pretty Italian signorita is going to shave her crown to meet the demands of looking like Mussolini? There ought to be something characteristic and national that differs from striving to look like a Premier or a President. The flora and fauna of the various lands, the symbols and emblems of nationality ought to be twisted into significant coiffures if the Berlin idea is to be carried out. But what a terrifying combination would be the result of the importation of the idea to America and its application to forty-eight States!

And we are told that there will probably be cranberries on the market all through February and maybe into March—while last year they were very scarce after Christmas. This is interesting news, for everybody can have lots of this delicious, healthful fruit for a longer season than usual—and the children in particular should eat cranberries every day. Cranberries are so healthful—so rich in vital elements that aid in building up the system! Fortunately, they can be utilized in so many different ways that it is no problem to serve them even three times a day. First, of course, comes cranberry sauce—the quickest and easiest fruit sauce. But always remember that cooking cranberries too long spoils the flavor and toughens the skins. To merely break the skins by cooking is enough. When they break they pop—after five minutes of boiling—and when they stop popping stop cooking. This sauce turns out most delicious when made according to the following recipe: Ten-Minute Cranberry Sauce. One pound (4 cups) cranberries, 2 cups boiling water, 1½ to 2 cups sugar (¾ to 1 lb.). Boil sugar and water together for 5 minutes; add the cranberries and boil without stirring (5 minutes is usually sufficient) until all the skins are broken. Remove from the fire when the popping stops. Always cook cranberries and keep the sauce in aluminum, porcelain-lined, enameled or glass utensils. Ten-minute cranberry sauce, made as above, is the tastiest relish to serve with beef, pork, lamb or poultry—hot or cold. And it makes a delicious filling for desserts and helps make many tempting salads.

KESSLER SURGEON DENTIST RELIABLE DENTISTRY AT REASONABLE PRICES Beauty Secrets By Mme. Sara Washington Baldness and Brains Baldness is a condition almost confined to civilized races, and rarely is found among primitive people who live an open air life. This fact is probably responsible for the idea that baldness is a sign of unusual mental powers. The lack of hair has nothing to do with the presence of brains. The possible truth of the notion is that intellectual people are apt to lead more sedentary lives and otherwise are not of good general physique. As a type, they are finely-strung and nervous, with a tendency to derangements of the glands of internal secretion. All this produces constitutions so weak in powers of resistance that diseases of the scalp, such as baldness, are more easily contracted, and thrown off with greater difficulty. Thus, while not all bald heads are intellectual, there are more bald heads to be seen at a highbrow gathering than at a cheap burlesque show. There are many causes for the loss of hair and precautions should be taken to check this. Begin by keeping the scalp clean and healthy. Massage it night and morning. Women usually notice an increase in the loss of hair through the unusually large number of hairs brought out by combing. Men observe first the thinning of the hair on the top, front or sides of their heads. The hair line gradually recedes from the forehead until it meets the bald patch on top of the scalp, and their retreating hair lines of the temples. The last hair to go is that from the sides and back of the scalp. R BEAUTIFUL EX PRODUCT VIRTORIA OIL HAIR CO. MERCHANT CITY, N.Y.

Sixty-eighth street and Park avenue. The proposed building will cost $5,700,000. Dr. Swift, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Hunter College, in a speech at the mass meeting in the College Chapel last Wednesday, said the expense of running the five branches of Hunter is enormous. There are branches at 109th street, Eighty-fifth street, Fifty-first street, and Bridge street, Brooklyn; for 1,000 incoming students in February the college has rented at the enormous expense of $171,000 a year a loft of fifty rooms in the Grand Central Palace. Hunter College, the largest women's college in the country, has 12,146 students. Students, with petition blanks, have been assigned certain districts in which to canvass. Nothing is required in this campaign but your signature and address on a petition blank. If you want your girl to have a better chance for a free college education, you will be urged to sign the petition. Among the girls active in obtaining names for the petition to be sent to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to appropriate immediate funds for a new building are the following: Manhattan—Misses Olive Searl, Evelyn Baley, Hortense Thompson, Mildred Hewitt, Rosita Simmons, Laura Delaney and Olivia Corbett; Mrs. Anna J.

Community Church Hears Dr. Du Bois --- Says Russia's Attempt at Solution of Race Problem Better Than Ours Speaking to a large audience at the Community Church, 1515 street and Park avenue, Sunday night on "Trace Floods in Russia" by W. E. B. Dubois said that Russians attempt at a solution suited him much better than Americans. In Russia, he said, no attempt was made to standardize the various units of which the nation is composed. For instance, in Moscow there was a Chinese university where the Chinese language was taught. In America, on the other hand, everyone was urged to Americanize, and to forget his motherland. Much of his talk was devoted to an outline of the historical contacts of the various Russian groups. He told also of the manner in which Russia is misrepresented in the American press. "When he arrived in Leningrad, the capital, he said, he found the place very quiet, but later, on reading the New York papers, a riot had been recorded as taking place in Leningrad on that day. As to color prejudice, he said, it was entirely absent, and read from his notebook to give his impressions. "In France," he said, "I was looked at; in England. I was regarded with some curiosity, while in Moscow if I happened to sit beside a white woman, no one seemed to notice me. Singular country this." Dr. DuBois said that he saw remarkably few Negroes in his travel of several thousand miles. At the close of the address John Haynes Holmes invited all the Negroes present to speak.

The fact that the Negro was a minority dictated the need for caution, still, the group should be careful not to be overcuations, citing the example of the Russian Jews who, he said, had helped in the night against the Czar in spite of massacres. "My prime reason for wishing the Russian people success," he said. "is that they are antimilitarists, and as Nogrovs are victims of imperialism they should pray for the success of the Russian program without of necessity endorsing any particular political theory. I view with a horror a world dominated entirely by English-speaking Nordics—Australians, South Africans, Canadians, Englishmen. Their dominance would mean eternal subjection and humiliation of the darker races." Locke Compares Negroes and Jews "The Negro and the Jew—comparison" was the title of an address by Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, editor of "The New Negro" and connected with Howard University, Sunday afternoon at the "Big Meeting" in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, 181 W. 133th street. "The psychological distinction," Dr. Locke stated, "is that the Jew practically never has believed what society thought of him, but the Negro, tragically, has." "The Jew is no more the cringing street merchant than the Negro is the plantation slave. The Jew is in no way bothered by his reputation because he knows it to be contrary to fact." "But it seems to the average Negro to be the most important thing to change his reputation," Dr. Locke declared. Group characteristics, according to the speaker, are not products of heritage, but products of social condition. They not only change but they may be changed. The Jews, for example, began in the agricultural or pastoral stage, but later became adapted to the commercial city life. At first they stuck closest to their homes, but then they began to wander all over the globe, being "most at home 1980 MISS GWENDOLINE NOURSE. 2288 Dean street, Brooklyn, has been assigned to work in the Twenty-third Assembly District.

This wandering gave the Jew a "double social personality," causing him to have two adherences: social and national. But he chung to his traditions and in the face of popular misfortune about him chuckled up his sleeve and found inward consolation in them. And when he had attained success, "he disproved then with the most spectacular philanthropy in the world." "The Southern Negro is past master of the art of submission—yielding." The Jew, according to Dr. Locke, never was submissive or yielded. He never admitted that he was what people called him. Another difference pointed on by the speaker is that Hebrews do not allow the changes of generations to break the bonds that bind them under one common purpose. They never allow themselves to quarrel too much, he said. On the other hand, Negroes will often fall into fatal dissension even of questions relative to their common good. TO OPEN WAR ON BASEMENT DWELLINGS Mrs. Helen Hanning, chairman of the Housing Committee and field secretary of the Manhattan Community Council, will discuss the Harlem housing situation at the meeting of the St. James Presbyterian Church Forum on Sunday, January 16, at 4 o'clock. According to reports, the New York Housing Committee says there is no shortage of houses in Harlem, because the committee counts all vacant basements and collars. For the sake of health, the forum, therefore, is starting a fight against the use of basements as homes. Music for the occasion will be furnished by M.

Schuyler, S. E. Grain, James H. Hubert and J. A. Rogers Addressing a group of white students, social workers and others at the Urban League Saturday on the topic, "The Negro in Industry" George S. Schuyler, associate editor of The Messenger, told his audience that the real Negro problem was that of getting a job. "The big problem," he said, is not so much the Negro in industry as getting the Negro in industry. Because of color, he is relegated to menial positions, and from this results almost all of his ills." Negroes, he said, were taking more intelligent interests in the problems facing them. "The new Negro," he declared, "is not so much interested in spirituals, as he is in getting a better understand- ing of economics, getting higher wages, and better conditions of labor." said, was a very dark man, who firmly believed that he was a white man, and when told that Negroes were superior to white people, began to show all the earmarks of a violently rejudiced Southerner, "Color prejudice," he said, "is, in "The camouflage advanced for not giving the Negro better jobs is that he will associate with white people, and perhaps merry a white woman. The school teachers and others go about saying that the Negro youth reached his mental gluteon earlier than the white one, while the fact is that the Negro youth has little or no incentive feeling, that the door of opportunity will be closed in his face. The townish Negro is usually the most welcome, since his actions justify that most white persons wish to achieve of the race." S. E. Grain, field organizer, for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Workers, told of the growth of the Brotherhood from its inception a few years ago until the present time when it numbers in its ranks the majority of the porters and maids. He told also of the methods said to have been used by the civilian Company to keep the minds of the porters off their real problems by holding field days, and organizing them in company unions. James H. Hubert of the Urban James gave facts on the sickness and mortality rates in Harlem, and old of their effect on industry. J. A. Rogers told the audience that he had come to the conclusion that color prejudice was a form of identity. "I recently spent," he had, "several days among insane persons, and I learned most of the persons from them, than ever before. I discovered this one fact: man is sane in proportion to the mount of contradiction he is able to withstand." $30 a Week--Isn't a Drop in the Bucket!

"Color prejudice." he said, "is, in short a form of paranoia. Most of the these demented folk, all of whom came from humble walks of life, fondly believed themselves superior to other folks, calling themselves kings, Christians, Caucasians and Mongolians, and the like." "Color prejudice among white people," he said, especially amused him. "White people think themselves smart in looking down on Negroes," he said, "yet, if doing so is a clever thing, I have met Negroes in the West Indies who were fully equal to the American whites in looking down on other Negroes." The meeting was held under the auspices of the Reconciliation Trips, Clarence V. Howell, director. Many questions were asked, the visitors showing a great desire to learn about the Negro and his problems. Among other places visited in the tour were the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the 135th Street Public Library, Mt. Olvet Baptist Church and the Black Jews.

Douglas Offers Picture With Unusual Theme Another Melodrama Is "The Silent Power." Now at Harlem Theatre It seems a remarkable thing, but, nevertheless, the first motion drama with the enormous power of electricity as its theme has just been made. We refer to "The Silent Power," the new Gotham production now playing at the Douglas Theatre. While the star, Ralph Lewis, gives one of the best bits of real acting seen in many movies on the silver sheet, the giant turbines and generators in the background dominate the picture every minute. There is something fascinating in watching one mere man controlling the giants of chained lighting and the patrons of the Douglas Theatre have a refreshingly original screen entertainment in store for them. The picture is pure melodrama with a well-defined plot that has many dramatic situations and thrills galore. It tells of the loyal watchword who is duty. Even though it means the life of his only son, he sticks to his post and throws the fatal switch which sends the silent power through the virus which may kill his only son. Of course the son is not alone in the tirrilla which have to be seen.

"But Lee Shubert and A. L. Woods, who are now in Paris, are quoted as defending pity on this stage, and they are not objected, and surely they are not irresponsible producers." "WHAT, exactly, did they say?" he asked. "Well, here is what Mr. Shubert says: 'I hope Zilperke keeps his word, but I doubt it.' the interviewer quoted from a newspaper cupboard. "You can see it in the book. There is an image in the world more artistic than the feminine body. The world has no objection to nudity in sculpture or drawing, so why should it object to it behind the footlights?" You can stop right there for a moment, but the short chorteil. "Sculptors and artists use many models for their masterpieces—they use the hand of one, the foot of another, the torso of another, the head of another, the neck of another—in order to obtain perfection. In the whole country it would be difficult to find 25 perfectly formed women. You see, I am not objecting to nudity exacting the vulgar display of naked women." "In the production I am referring to the women dance and come close down to the footlights with them, and they are not beautiful formed; the better class of chorus girls will not appear in such shows. "Look closely at the faces of women who have appeared in the theater project. They will note that they have hard, brazen, defiant expressions. "Producers who insist on girls appearing naked in their shows are degrading the American audience, so see such exhibitions.

In 1901, a series of tianbao designs glorify American womenhood. When a originally produced these tianbao—the first to be seen in the United States—they were intended as living, painting, and form-forming residential settings. No immediately was intended. The bolder and more brazen producers, ready to make any success, fat ingredient of a successful one, stepped in to make this show has sunk to an indescribably low level of flesh orleses. Broadway producers have gone mad in an attempt to outdo one another and to argue for dialogue. "I shall fight against audibility. I am for cleaner theatres.

EN Theatre Boys to Again Stage Big Midnight Show Here Popular Vincent Lopez Heading Bill That Includes Some of the Best Acts in Vaudeville At the Alkambra Theatre, midnight of Tuesday, February 1, the well-known Theatre Boys of the Seth-Albee Circuit of Theatre will come to store with a presentation of acts that should see the olsa line up right up to 135th street and right down to 110th. These boys were the first to bring Vincent Lopez to this part of the city, and Mr. Lopez received in ovation and the kind of welcome which we make bold to assert as never been duplicated anywhere else he has appeared. It was on that night that colored people were introduced to the kind of music which has been holding broadway, and they did not hesitate to let Mr. Lopez know how pleased they were to see him in colored Harlem. He is commuting back, and with a bigger and newer program for his role in the Keith-Abee circuit, there will be Tom Particula, Wolfe Gilbert, Edna and John Lawrence, Bert Gordon, and—oh! that's the use? There are so many if them we are going to ask you no glance at the display advertisement which you will find on one of the entertainment pages today. The entire affair is under the personal direction of George Cattell, who had a lot to do with that project. He was on hand to be on their initial appearance here as an organization. No stone is being left unturned to make this LORENZI-ZIEGELD, interm- tionally known as "the glorifier of the American girl" is indignant and disgusted regarding the decen- sant shows which are stalking along broadway. With all the enthusiasm and energy which brought him success and position as America's foremost producer of revues, he is now ready to start an active can-pa- gain against unclothed production and to prevent the exploitation of the American girl. And Ziegeld isn't just crying against what he calls the atrocu- des which are being perpetrated under the name of musical re- spects he has joined with with a person than John S. Sum- ter, secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Together his strangely assorted pair dis- cussed ways and means to put an nudity and vulgarity on the stage. "But what to do?" Mr. Ziefeldt was asked by the writer. "It can be done!" the producer is confidently. My plan is as follows: "First, Mr. Sumner in his official apacity as secretary to the Society for the Suppression of Vice to create body to be known as pro-counselor." "Second, This body to comprise six members, with Mr. Sumner as chairman, and the six members to consist of a representative from the executive from Actors' Equity, a representative of the pulpit, one dramatic critic, a prominent merchant and a civic worker. "Third, the play should need counselors on the ground of the play counselors on the ground of nudity r vulgarity, which comes under the head of vice, then Mr. Sumner and his play counselors should provide the same counselors in prosecuting vice outside the stage, to wit; Appear before a magistrate and swear out warrant calling for the appearance in court of the producer and the plaintiff in the display of obseventy and other objectionable matter." AM not a reformer—I'm not trying to reform the public'saste, that is, I'm campaigning as showman. Mr. Zeilfeld passed and bit savagely at an unlightened, easily managed cigar, and want to throw it out, if those all revues, which are nothing but flesh orgies, are permitted to continue, the very name 'revue' will become a synonym for degeneration. "The other day I met a producer those show had just opened. He said: "I'm afraid I have a terrible roast, but the naked women are to drag em in for a few reeks." "And that is all he will be able do, capitalize the vulgarity of its show and entice the butter and ginger men to drink it to a delicious woman. Why do they put n, such shows? Because they aren't put on a good show." At this moment a stunning, bruette approached the producer and sketched she might speak to him. "Surely," he said. "What do NOW MR.

And when they can be entertained they have no entertainment left. "Walters to New York who look to those indecent shows would never permit them, in some form, to be seen entering a theatre which advertised such horrible obsessions. "These people attend tribes, cloak themselves in the crowd that artists make the rounds of the dives of Paris. "Terrifically there is nothing offensive in pudidity in its proper place, but when a producer presents a turn to the floodlights his aim is not artistic. It is lascivious. This sort of a show may give the bread and butter men a thrill, but it is certainly not entertainment for a "And the muddy is the smallest of these three, indeed shows to which I object." Mr. Ziegfeld seemed to draw the attention of the interviewer to a gorgeous new photo he photographed. "Look there, is Greta Nissen. She has the most perfectly formed body in the world, I believe. People rave over her yet she has never posed in the pose or any performance which she sees are for more effective than if she appeared made." MISS NISSEN, the gorgeous was duly admired. Then Mr. Ziegfeld was reminded that he was about to tell what besides, muddy he objected to in the shows he is entertained. Fifth, dirty, barron stories which these cheap producers are dramatizing and offering stead of going to the trouble to present clever, original, sinister, smart, but not answerable. I don't see how they ascend much lower. "They offer as their excuse that that is what the public wants. But it is only a certain section of the public that are advertised as being indecent. That the public in general does not care for those dirty shows, easily produce them and are well put on, far outlive the fifty ones.

Woods bows to Sibert in declaring that the stage is all right as it is. Mr. Ziegfeld was informed, "Do you want to hear what he says?" "I have it," he nodded grimly. "To say that the stage has sunk to the low level of flesh orgies is responsible for much of the present display of muddy. When the rest of us were modest he brought a lot of scantily dressed girls on stage and the day of the day duration has muddy, he talks about leading in stage cleanliness. It seems to me like eleventh-hour repentance." I introduced auditory to the stage he rejoiced, but I presented it in artistic fashion. I never even had girls dancing about the stage in hawks legs. My dancers were so nervous, I never once turned the spotlight on a male figure." "I isn't a question of repentance at all. The tableau which I present, arranged by the great artist Ben All Haggag, are not to be compared in any way with the amateurish nude displays which have aroused so much indignation. I admit I am to blame for introducing midity, but naturally I couldn't foresee to what my innovation would lead. "I sought to cater to the love of the beautiful, and there is no question about the public appreciating my efforts. Those other shodly imitators are catering to the vilest imitators in men. "But it is because I feel the burden of this responsibility that I am encavoring to clean up the theatres—to devise some plan whereby these unclean shows will "I understand that Mr. Woods is entitled to see what it wants to see. It may be entitled to see what it wants to see. It may be entitled to see what it wants to see, but those publicly have caused the arrest and imprisonment of dancers at private entertainments." Mr. Ziefeld was asked if he believed that a "theatre Czar" such as the motion picture producers has that Mr. Hays could handle the situation. "No, he answered very positively. 'You couldn't get the theatrical producers to stick together the way the motion picture people do. It is entirely a different proposition.' he handed be handled in a different way. "Seriously, though, there is no reason why New York authorities should not be able to keep the theatre clean when the authorities in other cities may be difficult proposition, but it is not an impossible one." Andre Antoine, an authority on the Parisian theatre, recently visited three grand houses in the French capital, where she show her work. Her numerous confidence included a generous allowance of the nude—and nudes on these Comedy and Pathos Fill Roosevelt Theatre "Private Izzy Murphy" to Be Shown for Two Days Commencing Sunday All who remember Vera Gordon as the Jewish mother in "Humoresesus" and there are hundreds of thousands who do remember her, rejoice and she has been chosen as the mother in George Jesse's starring vehicle, "Private Izzy Murphy," the Warner picture directed by Lloyd Bacon, which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre next Sunday for a two days run. Miss Gordon's vivid and poignant performances seem to be the incarnation of all the joys and romances of mothers everywhere. She seems actually in her "Private Izzy Murphy" she is Izzy's mother, and we see her first when, with her husband, she comes to the home her good son has prepared for her in the New World, Izzy has been successful in his delicatessen venture. He has taken the name of "Murphy" on account of the nationality of his customer. And a daughter of Patsy Ruth Miller, who captured the unsuspecting heart of Izzy. Miss Gordon's role runs, the whole scale of emotion delight at her boys' business success; pride in his fine youth and strength; grief when he must go with the "Fighting Goth" overseas; agony when the word comes that he has been killed in action; bliss in theink of condition; he comes footing it Up Fifth Avenue under the arches and flags when the war is over, and a mad mutilation of many emotions when he marries. But Vera Gordon must be seen to be appreciated, and when once seen as a "mother" she is never forgotten. The cast includes Gustav von Seyfertz, Nat Carr, William Strouse, and Gerald Garrison, both well and other, and incorporates a remarkable sequence in which the actual scenes of one of the best-war parades up Fifth Avenue is shown with many notables in the reviewing stand. the New Y EWS AND INDECEN stages means just that in order to watch the reaction of the public, HE is quoted as saying that he be no longer found "that somewhat equivocal, fecalish thrill that appears in the appearance of a number of Eye-forest-the-fall figures on the stage. The public seems to have become indifferent, almost bored. A feeling of lusture due to monotony is to be no remarked. Mr Ziegfeld was asked if Paris "back to draperies" movement had anything to do with his decision to fight for a similar rocobing in this country. Mr Ziegfeld had nothing to do with it, he declared. "Except in the THE THEATRE, NUDITY, ETC. THE representative of an out-of-town city has sought to justify it at a certain theatre here and the guise of the theatre to which we have tion. We knew that the foundation his claim was laid on the sinking the claims he had in mind were pictures. Then there were those conns used the fact that Florez Ziegfeld, past few years, gave them the idea Pardon the smile, as we are thin THE representative of an out-of-town paper seeking a foothold in this city has sought to justify the appearance of almost naked women at a certain theatre here and the reproduction of nude pictures under the guise of "art," to which we have from time to time filed our objection. We knew that the foundation upon which this gentleman based his claim was laid on the sinking sands of the vulgarity from which the shows he had in mind were bred—also the reproduction of the pictures. Then there were those connected with the theatre who always used the fact that Florez Ziegfeld, in presenting what we has for the past few years, gave them the idea of giving us what they called "art." Pardon the smile, as we are thinking of what would happen when some of those young ladies of the recent revue choruses start their contortions if they were suddenly brought upon the stage of a Ziegfeld theatre in defense of what they do. In line with what we have been saying, we also note that a move is on foot to drive obscurity and filth from Broadway theatres, and in this instance we are hoping that they will not treat us colored people like they have in the past—and that is by ignoring the claims of the better class for a little of the attention now directed downtown. In reproducing the article from the Brooklyn Times in which Mr. Ziegfeld tells a truth which any intelligent person long, long ago recognized, it to again prove how vapid are claims of these pandering to our lowest desires theatrically. Incidentally we might here remark that a drive is also being inaugurated against those publications posing as "Art Magazines." And in keeping with it all we are reproducing a splendid article from the pen of Mr. Theophilus Lewis, who takes the attitude that much of our ills can be corrected through the "little theatre." We are in sympathy with everything Mr. Lewis says; so much so we are perfectly willing and prepared to contribute the first one hundred dollars towards some concrete move that will give us the opportunity of establishing a theatre that will act as an inspiration to a large number of people in the community. If we are not mistaken, we believe that no longer than last Sunday Mr. Lester A. Walton, in speaking of the number of churches in Harlem, stated that we have here a community of two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes. Personally we feel that it is a reflection on every intelligent member of this same community if out of such a large number of people living in harmony in the same neighborhood, it were, we could not produce at least one thousand men willing to contribute to something that will mean so much. Do we not owe the coming generation something along this line? If so, what are we waiting for? Is it fair to throw the burden of this generation from the shoulders of the next to come? We can no more abandon to donate a hundred dollars to any move than any other person陌生 what we are, but we do believe that until such time as men arise among us willing to make sacrifices towards the ideas which they enmoum, we are going to remain right where we are. This section of the Greater City is sadly in need of something in the theatre which will give inspiration to the worthy. In fact, we think that as a matter of price if nothing else we should rise to the occasion as nowhere in this country exists such a theatre. Throughout the width and breadth of this great land where there are thousands of our people in any appreciable numbers, nothing but the most debasing things are presented in the theatres run by our people and those whites running places catering to Negroes.

We understand that the revue has met with success on the road and returns to the Lafayette fall of pop 'n' everythin'. In the meantime, Irvin C. Miller's revue, entitled "Red Hot Mamma" is holding down the boards at the Lafayette and going great runs. The usual big open game, the show, is found all set back stage and prepared for a land office business during the balance of the week. Gerritra Saunders, who gained fame and fame when "Shuffle Along" shuffled right into the hearts of Broadway theatrgores, continues to be the big feature with the Miller revue and Gerritra is going over nicely at every performance. The same can be said for almost all the people in the show. "The Canadian" to Be Shown at the Lincoln Mona Palma's first ride on a farm wagon left her with a strong aversion to this form of transportation. Most of her life has been spent in and around New York, Trains, subways, autos, taxis, etc. have been her favored means of getting around, and she is also authorised to ride in a harness cab, but it didn't even thrill her. As a result, when Miss Palma are invited in Calgary, Canada, to play opposite Thomas Meghan in Paramount's "The Canadian" which comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday she had only vane ideas about farm wagons. When she was taken home she照片 fifteen miles from town for a scene in which Mr. Meghan is supposed to be driving her and it was quite a novelty. ork Stage NT STAGE TALK favor music halls in Paris, there is gone of the sheer valuability you see in some of the theatres in New York.

More men were versed in the arts than we ever hope to have seen in Mr. Lewis the plenary of the University of North Carolina, and but recently that Mr. George Schupler, in taking exception to some of the awards of the Harmon Foundation, suggested that Theophilus Lewis had a better claim on such an honor than a number enumerated by the satirist of the Messenger Magazine—Editor's FOLT a long time the people of Harlem have been dissatisfied with the theatrical situation. To mention the colored stars in any group made up of people whose horizon extends below Forty-second street, in point of space, and back to 1909, in point of time, is to excite a squall of powerful comment disparaging of the present and hopeless of the future. Most people will concede the brilliance of the elite ladies, but outside of it will be about the theatre as it exists, extremely blased and unfair, even to the degenerate local theatre, but it is certainly not wholly without justification. THE theatre is a spiritual institution. That is, it is the product of men's imagination, and it influences their ideas, feelings and attitude toward life. Ultimately it influences their conduct also, especially the case of the young and impressionable who follow the example of the stage, who borrow its ideas of what is Harlem will dispute me when I say the local theatre is the product of the imagination of boorish man, that it leaves the field of ideas and the finer feelings untouched, and instead overestimates the lasciviousness of the community and encourages its bad behavior. As a consequence example of the kind of influence the theatre has the locality faced on the one hand; there are thousands of people pictures and cheap vaudeville are shown—people who. If the present theatre buildings were razed and the actors compelled to go to work while a new group of actors began to give performances of "Macbeth" and "The Barber of Seville" in the neighborhood parish house, think the theatre had ceased to make such a place without malle or exaggeration it is a whole some sign when almost every respectable person in the community is either indifferent or hostile toward it. LATELY the general dissatisfaction with the local theatre has become increasingly articulate in the press. Perhaps its best recent expression was contained in an article by Edgar Grey, a staff writer, which a few weeks ago appeared in the Amsterdam News. Mr. Grey is a publicist who usually discusses politics and kindness with people, and he is known to the theatre shows the public mind, of which he is a keen judge, is changing in its attitude toward the stage. An important group of people is ceasing to regard the stage as merely one of the activities of life and coming around to the sounder view that it is the vehicle of one of the noblest forms of human activity. NOW there are many right as well as many wrong sides to every question. When Mr. Grey churches that the low state of our present theatre is due to its foreign financial control he states one of the right sides of the question. But after one concedes the responsibility of the foreign owners the next question is: will blame them for that. There is no more reason why they should be concerned about our spiritual growth than there is why Mr. Grey should be concerned about: cultural health of Jews. If I saw a chance to get rich running divider for Armenians I would certainly take advantage of it, and I would use a part of the money I made to encourage Negro poetry or would colored churches worth looking it. This attitude is at the heart of a religious religion, for like charity, cultural development should begin at home. SINCE we are dissatisfied with THE PRESENT foreign controlled theatre, the sensible thing to do is to build a theatre of our own that will express our ideals. The method of organization I have in mind at present is community effort. I am not now thinking of the theatre as a community institution. Our present theatre is a community institution, since the desires and needs of our group are the same. When we are in a theatre organized as a community enterprise, with representative men and women taking an active part in its management and policy. T present there is in Harlem a growing demand for indigenous drama. What is wanted by most of the people who are dissatisfied with the present theatre is a stage that will serve as an adequate vehicle for drama. The problem of how to satisfy this demand may be the general problem, but this method would be so costly that most of a highly financed management could think of undertaking it. In the first place, a new auditorium would have to be erected, since none of the present theatres north of 125th street, with the possible exception of the Alhambra, is architecturally suitable for the production of the play. The theatre would have to be built, and would burn up money by the buckleful. The necessary newspaper and poster advertising would add another heavy item to the overhead, to say nothing of the wages of the mechanical staff, insurance, the cost of properties and the salaries of the actors, and so on. To meet this excessive initial outlay and overhead the management would have to spend 2000 people in Harlem with a desire for drama who can afford to spend $2 a week on the theatre. The paradox is these same people are so exacting in their standards or acting they could hardly be induced to become regular patrons of the new theatre in less than a year. Of course if its management were sufficiently well financed to spend $2 a week on the theatre, plays and whipping a flexible repertory company into shape, a theatre addressing its appeal to the public at large, that is to say, a theatre commercially organized, would have an excellent chance of success. A COMMUNITY fostered theatre would not be near so difficult to establish. Given the cooperation of a company of loyal actors, any group of energetic people can put one on a stable basis by working systematically along lines, little theatres all over the country have to be populated with a community theatre should avoid making low and expensive need to be the general public instead of managers can appeal direct to a selected number of citizens willing to participate in underwriting the movement as a contribution to community culture. In this community of 150,000 people perhaps such individuals number as many as 500, or one-third of one per cent of the total population. If 500 cannot be found at first, 200 will be plenty to start with. This group may be organized as a subscription audience, paying perhaps $5 for a season of ten performances. But they should not be made to feel that they were merely an audience the sole function of which is to pay admission. They should be recorded and made to understand that they are pioneers of cultural advertisement and an integral part of the theatre organization. Once imbued with this feel, they will become millionaires of the movement and their influence among their friends will come to be expensive and at the same time the most effective form of advertising the theatre can obtain. DURING the first year or two the relationship between the management and the audience can hardly be too close. Just how intimate the connection would be, of course, would have to be determined by the actual conditions and problems which would present themselves after organization had been accomplished. Perhaps it is not too much the audience would have a voice in deciding how the money raised by subscriptions would be used. The audience be encouraged to offer suggestions and to criticize performances and policy. It must be borne in mind that the audience is the link between the management and the public, and no theatre can ignore public sentiment and survive. THESE suggestions, of course, are only a few of the numerous ways that interest can be won and sustained in order to give us a theatre which will reflect the ideals as well as the capacity of the community. The method is comparatively simple and paratively insensitive, calling not for capital, but the organization public sentiment. Since the interest of all concerned will be in spirit of the venture, no costly plant will be required. Almost any will serve for an auditorium and only indispensable properties need to be spent. Expenses kept down to the lowest pot, surplus money can be devoted to training the actors, or perhaps, gi-ing them a competence. . AW? YORK AMCTERNAM NEWS WERNESDAV.

HOW an Up-to-Date JOSEPHINE By Carl de Vidal Hunt ee Tastee Be See ee OSEPHINE BAKER is twenty. and her skin is the color of strong tea, She is the rage of Paris, and owns a great dig deauti- ful Voisin limousine and a palatial vilia in the Champs Elysees. A year ago, when Josephine came to Paris, all she had was her dancing: talent and a rabbit's foot. She was determined to bring all Paris to her Ywet, meaning her own and the rab- bit's. And she has succeeded. She suceveded because she owned the rabbit's fout. Less rhan two years ago Josephine Baker was a meniber of the colored comedy chorus in Daly's Theatre in New York City. she had no more prospects than any of the other girls, Now Mademciselle Josephine Ba- kaire fs the “Black Star" of we Folies Bergere, the greatest attrre- tion since Mistinguett in her prime, drawing a princely selary and own- ing a dDushel basket full of diamond vracelets and anklets, some of which ehe wears when she dances. She does not wear much more than that, which is the requirement of the Fol- ies Bergere. Between the anklets and the pearl arcklaces she wears a string of bananas, If she wore more than that, the Parisian pudlic would object and ine traditions of the thea- tre would be seriously compromised. NYHOW, when Josepuine star:- ed to dance the Charleston With the other girls in Sixty- third Street, New York, nobody paid any perticular attention to her. Then, one day, something happened. There was a man down at the stage door who wanted to see her. The man was a friend of the family, sev- enth son of a prominent South Caro- lina colnred parson, with several distinguishing peculiarities of ap pearance. His hair was red. his eres slightly out of focus, and one shoul- der was higher than the other. He had come all the way from Flatbush, Long Island—where he was em- ployed in the cemetery as an excar vater—to make Miss Josephine a present. It was from him that came the great talisman, the rabbit's foot that conquered Paris. Josephine had always believed in her lucky star. But all her hard wishing, up to that time, brought “8 Bi Ws < » ais a 11 RES SS). / ae ¢ yj So ee pet SE RG EN Theatre Disaster in Canada Fo- cusses’ Attention Here.

Every once in a white she had lovked over her lett shoulder at the silvery moon when {t reminded her of u slice of watermelon with lots of sugar on it. She had turned a quarter in her pocket and wished for piles of money and diamonds, but nothing ever came of it except hard knocks and hard work in the second row of the colored comedy chorus. She had practically given up wishing when the man with the rabbit's foot came to the stage dcor that night and said to her: "That rabbit's foot am the real article, honey. [t's my present to you for your birthday. Don't you ever lose it. If you do, you'll be a yalia soubdrette to de end of your days.” Josephine thanked the little man with a hearty laugh that showed her beautiful white teeth and the fire in her eyes. Then she went back to the general dressing reom and stuck the talisman in her makeup box among the powder and the grease sticks. She never gave it another thought that night, and went home to her father and mother on Sixty-ith Street, near the river, with nothing on her mind except the wish for a good sleep. She slept soundly. Maybe the rabbit's foot worked while she slept. Anyway, next after- oon when she appeared for rehears- ‘al in Sixty-third Street there was another gentleman at the stage door with a letter from some big man who had something to say about her get- ting on at the new Plantation cubaret on Broadway. And when that import- ant white gentleman told her ina soft stage whisper that the big boss want- ed to see her, poor little Josephine nearly dropped dead. The letter said she might call “at her leisure” and as Josephine hap- pened to have some leisure time at- ter rebearsal, she went right over to the gold and mahogany office of the big man on Broadway. The rabbit's foot, nicely cleansed, was in her little red leather purse. &, : 7 % “dy cilhery oO Bey hal of almost a lummired: lives. has orerved te feeus atten: teat oon certiin theatres cae tering to Negroes in this conmimtity and many prem inent men and women. re-i- dents oof Elarlem, took the oppertinity to issue the hepe that ay strict attention vill Le paid here as elsewhere to the tre daws.

That was the beginning of her career. IX months later the whole Plan- tatfon company flocked over to Paris fur an engagement at the Champs Elysees Music Hail. The show called “La Revue Negre.” and Josephine Baker was the life ef it, Of course the salaries were not big enough to afford any of the cont pany 2 chance to buy clothes at Patou’s ur eat at Prunier’s, In fact, most of the girls lived in the Rue Henri Monier, up in Montmartre, and ate at the Poute au Put, where four-course dinners, including chick- en, are served fur fifteen francs, or fitty cents in American money. Josephine didn’t dream then that some day in the near future she would dine on the dnest delicacies of the French table and drink the rarest vintages trom the ancient wine dungeons of Voisin. She had no idea that presently she would siid her nger nails with twenty-four carat goid and have a palace fitted up for herself under the personal di- rectlon of Paul Poiret, the celebrated dressmaker and art connoisseur. But the rabbit's foot was working, day and night. G:. Jusephine's career. Every night at the Champs Elysees Music “Hall, Josephine Baker was Iterally bringing down the house with her dancing.

Her rabbit's foot meant more to her than ail the dinner invita- tions in the world. She never lost sight of it. When she danced it was hidden somewhere on her person, and when she slept it rested under the pillow. NE day toward the end of the Champs Elysees engagement the rabbit's: foot disappeared.

And so it was, Josephine made the biggest hit that ever was made on the stage of the Foises Bergere. The leading seenic artists had designed the set tngs for her, and no money had been, spared tu give her the most luxur- ious buckground imaginable. In one; of her numbers she was lowered from the upper regions of the stages on a huge mirror upon which she danced the Charleston as the Paris-~ fans and even the tourists had never seen it danced before. They all gasped—for Josephine wore very Mttle beyond her birthday clothes. Her Hthe young body, looking like a Venetian ‘bronze come to life, seemed to incarnate the spirit of un- restrained joy. It was a wild thing, Yet graceful and harmonious—a demon unchained, vet delicate in its sleek symmetrical beauty. Josephine Baker, the little colored girl from 63d Street, New York, was made. She was the rage of Paria, which meant that she could have anything she wanted in the way of clothes, money, jewels, motor cars and all that goes with stardom. For in Paris, when you are a star of the first magnitude, all the tradespeople are happy to be able to sar you are wearing their clothes or riding in their motor cars. And they give them to you for nothing! At the Longchamps and Auteuil races it was Josephine Baker and her wonderful gowns the newspapers talked about, and whenever she placed a bet on 2 horse it was almost sure to win.

This game gives promise of being another hectic affair as the upstarts are big time basketball players and since the season start it have won many a brilliant contest at and away from home. In the preliminary game at the Renaissance last Sunday night the Mother Diamonds defeated the Mother Zion quintet by the score of 35-9. Overwhelming, we call it.

STAGE ALL SET FOR BIG GAME Must Down Starling Greys Right Off the Jump to Hold Attention of Fans Whether the coming of the new basketball team to Harlem to play every Wednesday night will depend to a great extent on the showing the colored boys, make against the crack Starling grays tomorrow night. As an observer the Harlem Big Five hit off quite a jubilous morsel and it will be up to them to make good. And they should, as their line-up boasts a number of players who were not only on the Renaissance Five, but others who to this day believe that they should be with the Douglas quintet. They will have a splendid opportunity to show us in this appetizer for the coming games and they are all warned that we will be on hand to personally tell the public what we think of them. For Captain "Six" Garcia we entertain the best wishes for success, for "Six" is one of the finest fellows on and off the basketball court. From the early days of the St. Christopher Chin of St. Philip's parish, Garcia has shown those gentlemanly qualities which have won for him a host of friends, and we sincerely hope that all the fans will turn out to give him the glad hand. The lineup offers quite a likely looking bunch of players, and if they can forge forward to that stage where they can at least demand a game with the world champion Renaissance they will and no warmer welcome to such a tall than from "Bob" Douglas himself. So here's leading the way to the Renaissance on Wednesday night, Jan. 12. Fraternity Basketball something unique and never be- fore attempted in fear athletic circles will be a basketball tour- ment, between the four collegiate Greek letter fraternities of Greater New York. On Saturday, Jan. 8, 1927, represen- tatives of the Omega Phi Psi, Phi Beta Sigma, Alpha Psi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternities met at the Alpha Frat House, 203 West 133rd street, and perfected plans for an interfraternal basketball tournament to be held at the Renaissance Casino on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 29, 1927, at 2 p.m. Two games, Sigma vs. Omega and Kappa vs. Alpha, will be staged. Excitement gabore is promised for the afternoon, for the Kappas have been materially strengthened since last year and have been practicing hard for nearly a month. Sigma has been playing under a tedious name for fully a month. Hence these two teams may be regarded as dark horses in the race for basketball supremacy of New York City. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 12. 1927 Superior Juniors to Tackle St. Jude Basketball fans are eagerly looking ahead for the clash of Jan. 11 between the Superior Juniors also the Carlton Y. M. C. A. of Brooklyn and the popular St. Jude Five of New York on the latter's court. The Juniors recently took the Y. M. C. A. in camp in New York and are anxious to add St. Jude to their long list of victions. Capt. "Al" Smith will present his usual lineup of "Slocum" McClemmy, "Tan" Lane, "Melon" Grosvenor, "Middy" Harris, "Jimmy" Oliver, "Noel" Miles and "Artie" Hart to their enthusiastic Brooklyn followers. Y.M.D. SWAMPS BRONX FIVE Efforts of Visitors of Little Avail Against Fast Going Local Players "Skinny" Washington got away. He only accounted for 18 of the 14 points scored. This happened last Saturday evening in the teaculture basketball attraction at the "Y". The combined efforts of the Carlyles were only equal to those of the Washington's. The combination in the absence of its mentor, George Gregory, took the opportunity of running up their largest score of the season. The Carlyles put up a spirited game, but the Y. M. D. was in fine fettle, therefore, the efforts of the visitors were of little avail. While Washington had his shooting eye on the basket; each member of the team rendered valuable support. This is one game when the "give and go" play was fanning like clockwork. The guarding was exceptionally fine in that only six field goals were chalked up by the visitors. In this respect, Jeffries was a tower of strength. In scoring effectiveness Adams and Baker split honors with six points apiece. Walker, Reese, Riley and Jeffries contributed timely baskets. While Marshall didn't enter the scoring column, his playing at the pivot position was very impressive for he could be depended upon to get the tap at all times over his opponent. Next Saturday, the Y, M, D, will hook up with one of the fastest aggregations in the East in the crack Newark Student Circle Five. M. & S. DOUGLAS THEATRE BORDENTOWN VS. RINKY-DINKS Superior Weight and Reach Help School Boys to Down Atlantic City Quint Superior weight and reach told against the light Rinky-Dinks, and Bordentown scored its third consecutive victory against the Atlantic City Y quintet in a fast game on the Bordentown floor Saturday night. The score 33-16, does not begin to indicate the speed of the game nor the interest of the spectators, for from start to finish the Atlantic City boys were fighting curiously and always dangerous. Russ, elongated forward for the Manual Training Varsity, was the individual high scorer of the game, dropping in seven field goals and ringing two foul tries for sixteen points. Hamilton, his diminutive teammate followed with nine points in the second half, while Railey and Outman starred for the Shore hats. Clean playing featured the contest throughout, and the ball travelled up and down the long Bordentown court at a terrific pace. After putting up a stiff fight throughout the first half, the Rinky-Dinks faltered at the opening of the second and Bordentown gathered a lead of fifteen points which she held for the rest of the game.

J., and demonstrated to the fans that they can hold their own against the best of them. The Elites had in their lineup two well-known Brooklyn boys in Stevenson and Brown of the Superiors. But, at that, the Orange team couldn't stop the East Orange lads from piling up a 43-32 score. It can be said that "Slippery" Raymond and Jimmy Baker stood out as stars on the defensive, breaking up plays and intercepting passes and spoiling many would-be shots.

AGENTS WANTED NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 12, 1927 Our Weekly Letter to Lucette Our Weekly Letter to Lucette By THE ROVER MY Dear Lucette: The year had hardly opened before one of the Tattler men left two copies—one the New York Tattler, the other the Inter-State Tattler—and asked us to pass upon them. To most people, at least those affecting a modesty which they knew is only a mask, this would be a hard task, as they hesitate to give an opinion. To us it is as easy as tailling off a log, and we shout that Bennie Butler, so tar, has the jump on his opponents. BENNIE has adhered to what we know as the Inter-State Tattler, and if he is able to go through with what he plans, the New York Tattler won't have a chance. His paper, his makeup and everything seems to us far better than the two sheets, and the fortitude he has shown under darts that would have aroused the dander of other men tells us that we owe him oodles of wishes for success. SAY, darling Lucette, do you know that little Willie Clarke joined the others honoring us by clipping from our pages? How proud your humble servant feels at this mark of respect being paid us by the boys on the page. Alvin Moses blew in the other night to tell us that the big benefit for Sam Langford at the Walker A.C. on January 19th looks good, and he is leaving no stone unburned in trying to put it over. We must help A.M. to send it over the top as he is one of the finest follows we have ever had the good fortune to meet. Did you ever see Al in full dress? No one looking ever strolled down the Avenue called Seventh. ```markdown ``` FROM what they are saying of Josephine Baker, we opine that she is as big an attraction in Europe as Florence Mills. If not bigger, for they did special things to present her at the Folles, Bergere and she has got the Parisians attacking. The most recent chronicle of her success made a mistake when he said that she first came into prominence at Daly's Theatre, on Sticky hind street. It was at the Colonial Theatre, with either "Rummn' Wild" or "The Chocolate Dandies," that Josephine dew the attention that opened opportunity's door to her. If you see the account of the tale of the rabbit's foot in these pages you will know that it was reproduced so as to circumvent the big man from his past for his present. It was made in the form of a Ye, What, we make it appear as if it was something original. Whiff, they tell us they are getting all kind of praise, it is good to note that theatrical features which they bring out with the following of horns, rinsing of boils and boating of drums first see the light of day via the old Amsterdam. He, hey! MME GARVEY, having gone another big share of publicity, should soon be returned to our made with the show she was. No much writing done, although I would be had to say that her efforts along this line are in the same class with her writing of her book. We used to wonder how the admi could so easily become characterized to certain features in the press day times, and because when in our old age when we read her letter to one of the century's intellectuals reproduced from what we have been told were the court records. Ah, Lucette, it is now easy to understand. Sorry that we must choose our lines to you so soon today, but matters of heavier import take up our space. Just think, not a word have we said of Floyd Calvin in this letter today. Floyd will be given if we will to remark that his very being trembles at the sound of our. Truth to tell, Lucette, that same being will have to do a mean shining it he gets another from us within the next month. Journ. Chips Along the Cinderpath By H. L. C. Now that officials of the club in department have given their consent to certain athletic clubs in thorndon for the use of their army in training purposes, we expect to see the athlete status of this community raised to a higher degree. For several years the absence of adequate training quarters has greatly hampered the efforts of those aspiring fame and glory in the routines of trackdom, and such a move on the port of the executives is highly commendable. Already many youngsters are awaiting themselves of the opportunity of which they have been deprived in the past, and as the season progresses a visibility will be in evidence at forthcoming track meets. PETE WHITE, former national 29-yard champion and three holder of the 100yard Metropolitan title, has fallen in line with the big parade of the "comback bags". Mr. White, who serves to be called "Pete" in track circles, is now supervising all athlete activities of the far-famed Salem-tresent A. C. for which he once brought great honors and tam. THE success of his charges has again kindled his desire for active participation, and such a step will be well heralded among track enthusiasts. Though he may not be seen on the boards this season, he has already started training, and should be in the shape in the early spring. AT the National A. A. V. Championships of 1924, upon finding that one of his men for the 880-yard relay had failed to report, he undertook the anchor man's. His layoff of over five years had no physical effect on him, for even though the taring route seemed a steep task he kept the position given him, and brought home his team in second place. THE successful attempt of Bob McAllister's comeback last Saturday night should serve as a great incentive. Keep up the good work, Pete. We are willing to stake the odds on you. WE have word from Eric Dawkins, captain of the Salem-President track team and former Metropolitan Junior A. A. V. champion, that he has resumed practice for the indoor season. Eric took a much-needed rest of about five months, after winning the New York County 220-yard championship last year. He will make his first 1927 appearance at the Firthham Diamond track meet this Saturday night. SINCE his graduation from Stuyvesant H. S. last June he has been attending the evening session at Columbia University. However, Eric has had several offers for scholarships from other colleges, so next September he will be seen sporting the colors of some out-of-town school. EVARARD DONALD. Survivesent H. S. star, has decided, with the consent of his coach, to stretch out his distance to the furling. Donald has been running the "lot" for some time now, and has scored many points for his school. Since Herbert Sims, his team mate, has proved that he is capable of taking care of the "century" unassisted. Coach Collins decided to make a switch. DONALD will make his initial start in his new event at the P. S. A. L. champs this Friday night. Should he win this event (which we feel confident he is capable of), he would be succeeding Vincent Otley, another colored athlete, who will not be present to defend his title because of graduation. WE are just in receipt of a letter from Marion Christler, former George Washington H. S. and Salem-Crescent star, which informs us that Atlanta will enjoy its best track season this year. They are making plans already for a gigantic track meet to determine the championship of the colored colleges of that city. "CHRIS" is now a student at Moorehouse College, and is considered as one of the best prospects in the sprints. If past performances are a criterion, then it will not be surprising to see him emerge victor in one or more of the sprints. While attending junior and senior high schools in this city he was rated as a first-class scholastic sprinter. OFFICIALS of the Osceola Club have secured the use of the Seventh Regiment Armory for their ninth annual athletic carnival on Saturday evening, February 5. THE program will consist of an invitation one-mile relay, 75-yard dash, 220-yard run, 440-yard run, novice, the 12-pound shot put, one-mile walk, 75-yard dash for women, 600-yard parochial school relay and an 880-yard high and prep. school relay. CHARLIE MAJOR, St. Bonaventure track star, performed true to form last Saturday night at the Columbus Council, K. of C. Games, in winning the running high jump. We are still wondering why Mr. Robinson, officiating the high jump game, marie a one-inch handrail over Gail Robinson, the stretch man. Without the bat of this lead he beat Robinson by two inches, when he cleared the bat at 6 feet 5 inches. This is a remarkable feat for go early in the season. As predicted in these columns a few weeks ago, Charlie, we still contend, will be the most talked of high jumper in college circles this year. It is to be regretted that St. Bonaventure is not a member of the I. C. A. A. A. A., so that we could have another intercollegiate champion among us. NEW UTRECHT WINS MEET NEW UTRECHT WINS MEET --- Makes It Sixteen Straight by Copping 37 Points Sims Captures "100" By piling up a total of 27 points, New Utrecht easily captured the point trophy at the thirteenth annual De La Salle Institute interscholastic meet in the 1920 Engineers' Armory last Saturday night. The Bensonhurst had exceeded their nearest rival, Stuyvesant, by 20 points. Boys' High of Brooklyn took third place, with 14 points. In winning this meet the Brooklyn school made it its sixteenth victory in as many starts. Herbert Sims, Stuyvesant flash, once more proved his ability as a spinner by taking the century in the splendid time of 10 2.5 seconds. Ano Reuter, the favorite for this event, again failed to qualify Sims' victory last Saturday night now makes him a favorite for that event at the P. S. A. L. championship this Friday night at the 12th iteration, Armory, in Brooklyn. Victor Fitzmurle, New Utrecht captain and crosscountry champion, seems to have permanently stepped into the shoes of Gus Moore. He turned in a 4.39 5k for the mile as a result of a beautiful burst of speed on the last half lap. Summary - 10:20 a.m. Run. Won by Fitzmurle. - New Utrecht. Won by Marque, Bryant, second. Welsh.

SHAKEY BEATS BOSTON KID Billiardists Attracted Quite Some Attention During Run of Play at the Emporium Lindsey (Shakey) Farr defeated Roy Holland (Boston Kid) in their handicap pocket billiard match, 209 to 227, at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium, Jan. 5, 6 and 7. The Kid was to make 360 as against Shakey's 300, one hundred each night. Holland claims the colored championship of New Ea- land and Shakey is the runner up of Harlem and now stands second to James Evans At the beginning and up to the seventh frame in the first evening's play, Roy was in front by a small margin. In the eighth frame Shakey took the lead and continued to the end. The game was never in doubt after the first night's play and in no way was his victory aided by the handicap. About three to four hundred fans were on hand each night. Both had supporters and received liberal applause. Shakey, from the beginning, played a careful game and in his calculations was invariably right. Time after time he left the cue ball far from the stack and as Roy was behind he was forced into many chance shots. While he made some of them, he missed many, to Shakey's advantage. Both, on the whole, did excellent playing. Shakey has gained his old-time stroke and confidence and got Ioy's goat by offering to give him a return match, even up for a pursue within thirty days.

Friday evening, Jan. 7, 1927, the "Playing Saints" of St. Jude's Chapel journeyed to New Jersey and took into camp the fast busill. A. C. five of Englewood, N. J. The score at half time was to 10 to 3. In the second half the Saints continued their interrupted scoring and outplayed their opponents to the final time of 27 to 14. COHEN DEFEATS WILLIE MAKEL But Willie Almost Upset the Jew in the Fifth Round Last Friday Night Milton Cohen, well known performer in the clubs under the jurisdiction of the State Athletic Commission and a representative of the 1921 Medical Corps, defeated Willie (Ad) Makel, clever colored junior lightweight attached to the 26th Regiment, in the six round feature bout at the 27th Division Train Armory last Friday night. Makel, at 129, had seven pounds the better of Cohen, but his advantage in weight cur noice. It was a good fight throughout, but in only the first two rounds did Makel show up well. From the third round on it was all Cohen. Both were a bit cautious in the opening round. Cohen scoring with light left to the face and Makel crossing rather effectively with his right. Cohen put some steam behind his southpaw punches in the second and more than once shook the colored boy, but Makel continued to counter effectively and more than held his own. The third was even and in the fourth, fifth and sixth Cohen built up a commanding enough lead to garner the verdict. Makel almost upset Cohen in the fifth round, when he brought his orthodox hand to Milton's jaw in an entirely unorthodox manner, forcing Cohen to hold until his head cleared. His experience pulled him through and before the round was over he was dealing it hot and heavy with both fists.

Dyett Draws Disqualification JIMMY DYETT IS DISQUALIFIED JIMMY DYETT IS DISQUALIFIED Salem Man Went Down Without Being Hit in Amateur Bout Six of the eight bouts which made up the amateur boxing tourney at the Unity Club last week failed to go the distance. Jimmy Polumbo of Beecher's Club and Frank Perry, Seward Gym, contestants in the 112-pound final, closed a hectic night of fighting by engaging in a furious scorpio for two rounds and a greater part of the third when Referee Frank Williamson wisely stopped hostilities and awarded the victory to Polumbo by a technical knockout. The first round found both boys giving and taking plenty, Perry caught Polumbo with a wicked right several times, but the latter booked effectively with both hands. Polumbo was the aggressor in the second round and he managed to gain a slight edge over Perry, although the latter almost ended the bout with a hard right to the chin that floored Polumbo tor a count of nine. That blow caused Polumbo to use more caution in the third. He was almost entirely on the defense for about a minute, but then began an attack and had Perry in bad condition when the bout was stopped. I minute 45 seconds after the opening of the round. Polumbo earned the right to meet Perry by trimming Mike Vicarri, Newbshoys' Club. This contest also ended prematurely. When Polumbo knocked out Vicarri one minute and five seconds after the start of the second round. Perry knocked out Bob Wade, unattached, in a preliminary bout. Frank Dl Gigoma, unattached, was the victor in the final of the 115-pound class when Referee Williamson disqualified Jimmy Drott of the Salem-Cressent A. C. who fell to the floor without being hit two minutes and thirty seconds after the ringing of the bell for the first round. Early in the round Dl Gigoma had floored Dyett with a right to the stomach for a short count. In a special three-round bout in the 115-pound class Terry Roth, Seward Gym, knocked out Tony Ambruzzio, unattached, after two minutes and fifty seconds of fighting in the third round.

BENEFIT FOR LANGFORD HERE Will Be Staged at the Walker Athletic Club With Al Moses Taking the Lead For a long time Alvin Moses has cherished a bug that Sam Langford is deserving of a little attention at the hands of the general public and there are so many people sharing Al's idea we opline that the big affair slated to take part at the Walker Athletic Club on the night of January 13 should go over with a bang. Moses has surrounded himself with a committee of responsible and substantial men in every walk of life, and he is leaving no stone unturned in trying to make this affair the banner one of its kind staged here in many years. The history of Sam Langford in the prize ring is one of the outstanding marks in the athletic world where colored men are concerned that will stand for generations to come. One of the best in his prime, Langford is slowly but surely going blind from his many campaigns in the ring and seeks the assistance of the fans in trying to gather a little money that will mean so much to him at this time. Al Moses took it upon himself to father this benefit and some weeks back started the ball rolling by a communication which he sent to the Evening Telegram. Himself in the possession of a heart that is as --- Preliminary big, as it is wide. Moses in well chosen words stated his case and the result we now see in the proposed historic event to take place. Some of the most widely known stars in histamine among fighters of the race have signified their willingness to appear and the night should be a right royal one not only for the fans, but for Sam Langford and Aviin Moses, who will be made happy by their being present to help the old warrior.

My general the DURING the Christmas holidays I delivered the annual address before the grand session of the Kappa Alpha Ipsilon Fraternity, which was held at Howard University. My general theme was "The Responsibility of the Second Generation of Educated Negroes." Some observations which I made have caused lively discussion and sharp rebuttal. It was my intention to present the actualities of the situation, and not to indulge in landatory and meaningless compliments. Broadly speaking there have been two generations of educated Negroes. For sharpness of differentiation, let us say that they are divided by the century mark; those graduating prior to 1900 represent the first generation, and those finishing since that date will represent the second generation. 1900 represent the first gen- since that date will represent The two generations overlie Both comparison and contrast are both in the main the have the eleemosynary complex.

They have made all sorts of investigations in the field of natural science, in an effort to form some workable During this extensive investigation on the part of the white race in Europe and in the United States, several new schools of thought have been established whose great body of information has converged into one great science whose phases and departments have covered every aspect of the baffling problem of population. In order that this dis course which deals with the most important, and at the same time the most neglected, phase of the life of the Negro be properly understood, the following explanations and definitions are made: Loosely speaking, population is that number of human beings of any sort which reside within a given area, and is subject to all of the changes and fluctuations derived from social contact. For general purposes, it is divided into (a): permanent population, and (b): fugitive or migratory population. The permanent population is that portion of a given group which lives, works, creates and has its being in that given area continuously over a certain period of time, usually 25 years. The fugitive or migratory pop- ulation may be defined to be any portion of a given group which resides temporarily in a given area; either because of its desire to obtain work, recreation, education, and such like, or, because of a social emergency, such as fires, floods, and other disturbances which interfere with the social balance. While there are many phases of the problem of population, such as the eugenic and interracial phases, the phase which is most problematic to the white race and which has engaged most of its attention is that Building T Building Trades School --- WASHINGTON—A novel experiment is successfully demonstrating its worth in this city in the form of a building trades school, located at 710 O street, northwest, in which bricklaying, plastering, cement work, and the setting are being taught daily to a class of fifteen white and sixteen colored apprentices. The actual course may be covered in three months, with an additional month of practical experience on an actual job. Up to the present time, forty-one students have completed the course and are now at work on jobs at wages of from $20 to $18 per day.

They both seek places on the white man's pay roll instead of making pay rolls for others to seek. The chief function of the first generation was to demonstrate to the world that the race was capable of taking in the higher education; the second generation must prove its ability to give it out. Up to nineteen hundred there were probably fewer than one thousand Negro college graduates—now there are ten times that number. Then a Negro college graduate from a Northern university was looked upon with admiration akin to amoization now they are so common as to arouse no curious interest. The first generation had no background and scanty foundation; the second generation had considerable of an educated background and a cultural environment. The new issue is much more thoroughly educated in the letter and technique than the older, but misses much of the power of the spirit and inspirations. The first generation is now passing away. I am the middle man and overlap both. I can, therefore, look both forward and back. I can stand as a daysman between the two and lay a propitating hand upon them both. The call is to the surviving educated men and women of the day, whether of the old or the which deals with the numerical balance. This numerical balance as a problem is divided into two aspects, as follows: under-population, and over-population. HARLEM'S POPULATION PROBLEM. According to the best white economist, a group of people should double itself once in each twenty-five years, provided that it maintains a birth rate of 45 per thousand and a death rate of 15 per thousand. That is, there should be during these twenty-five years forty-five new children born to each one thousand of the population yearly, and not more than 15 persons in each thousand of the population should die during the same period. In the case of Harlem, there were, according to the World Abmana, in the year 1900, 22,000 Negroes residing in that area which is known as Harlem. The population today is estimated roughly as somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000, an increase of more than 218,000. This showing at first glance is remarkable, but when the fact is taken into consideration that there has been a grand mismation to this black city, and that the birth and death rates have been abnormal, the increase as shown above losses its huge proportion. Let us examine, then, these figures and determine whether the Negro in Harlem has functioned properly during the period of his increase in population. HARLEM SHOWS HIGH DEATH RATE AND LOW BIRTH RATE. The death rate in Harlem is estimated by the Department of Health, from 1910 to 1920, was 14 per thousand and from 1920 to 1925, 12.1 per thousand. During this same period the birth rate was 16 and 18.2 per thousand respectively. As compared with the native white population, whose birth rate during the same period maintained a steady 19.5 and 20.04, and the foreign white population, whose birth rate during the same period was 20.8 and at work on construction jobs in a number of cities in the East; and those who remain in the Washington district are reasonably sure, upon graduation, of immediate employment. The school apparently meets a long-felt need as a substitute for apprenticeships, and is stimulating the supply of trained workmen in the trades named above. Know N. Y. State On July 26, 1788, Gen George Clinton, president of the Constitutional Convention of New York State, formally refused to accept the Constitution of the United States. In 1784 the entire cost of state government in New York was $100,000. Four years later the first income-tax was established, and each prison who had galanced THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News By KELLY MILLER new generation. They are challenged to meet the requirements of leadership and direction of the vast estate involved in the possibilities of twelve million of their own race and kin. Have they the ability or the disposition to meet this challenge? Let us, for consideration, divide the deal with them severally and separately. Let us then look upon the estate in its religious, economic, political, social and cultural aspects. The Y. M. C. der well-educated nuspiples, fails in en the moral senses of the young race or to arouse enthusiasm. The und the Equal are officered with equipment within are devoted to the most easily able response of the get they argue In the first place the educated Negro has not yet been able to arouse the enthusiasm of the masses. The task which he essays does not in general appeal to the rank and life. He invites his greatest imbecility. For his function will remain unfulfilled until he projects his influence even unto the interest and the nethermost. The Catholic hierarchy reaches and stimulates the humbliest Catholic in Christendom. The Jewish elite resides and inspires every member within the household of Jewry. But the Negro elite stands separated from the mass life of his group by a guilt across which his influence scarcely bears. The churches and denomination over which the educated clergy preside, such as the Presbyterian Episcopalian, Congregational and the test, do not quicken the spiritual passion of the race. The more populous and enthusiastic denominations, such as the Methodist and Baptist, are named and managed by a much less welleducated and cultured clergy. 2043 Respectively, the Negro makes a report showing The charts which are prepared by the Bureau of Vital Statistics at the offices of the Department of Health, without exception, present a dialogue picture for the Harlem Negro. Of course, there are many reasons which would explain the disparity of birth and death rates which visits between the Harlem Negro and the whites in New York City. There is, for example, the fact that the average income of the Harlem Negro is $565 per annum, while that of the white New Yorker is $1,260 per annum, a difference of $425 in the yearly incomes of individuals of the white and colored groups. Then there is the fact that the average yearly rental paid by the Harlem Negro is $645, while for a similar income among white New Yorkers the average yearly rental is $362. A clear difference of $286. Then is the fact that the Harlem Negro must pay more for his food and clothing than do whites of a similar social classification and a similar earning capacity. This last reason may be divided into external reasons and into internal reasons. External reasons are those which come from the general prejudice which exists in New York City against the Negro, which compel him to submit to the exploitation of storekeepers who thrive by extracting higher prices from him than they would be able to exact from a similar group of whites. Then there are internal reasons which spring from the practices and tastes of the Harlem Negro himself. These are his desire to have costly clothing, expensively appointed apartments and extravagant amusements. Take the matter of prepared meals. A Harlem Negro will only eat in what he calls a "cheap" restaurant when he is not able to eat in a "swell" one. As a consequence, he must pay from two and one-half percent to seven per cent more for his meals in these places than he would need to pay if he were 1,000 pounds the year before was taxed fifty pounds. New York State leads all others in the production of onions. In 1926 the harvest was 2,729,000 bushels. Indiana was second. New York spends more money than any other eastern state on public education, with a record in 1925 of $75.50 for each child between five and seventeen years. New York ranks fourth among all the states in this expenditure. California leading with $159.25 per child. New York State far far produces about two million cords of fuel wood a year, worth out two dollars a cord before it is cut. This is more than is produced by any other state. Mining second with about six hundred thousand cords a year. The Y. M. C. A., which is under welleducated and trained auspices, fails utterly to quicken the moral sense of the masses of the young manhood of the race or to arouse general moral enthusiasm. The N. A. A. C. P. and the Equal Rights League are officered by the best college equipment within the group, and are devoted to the task which most easily elicits enthusiastic response of the multitude, and yet they arouse and sustain no wide popular emotion. Violent denunciation of wrong while holding out hope of deliverance, might be supposed to arouse the slave to insurrection and the suppressed to rebellion. And yet so feeble is the response to the appeal of the N. A. C. P. and the Equal Rights League that their annual collections amount to scarcely a half-cent apiece from the constituency to whose welfare these reform movements are devoted. On the other hand, the Elks, the Pythians, the Odd Fellows and others whose leadership grows out of the masses, corral their members by the hundreds of thousands and collect millions of money. In politics and industry we find the same lack of relationship. It will not do for the college men to stand off in his impotent aloofness and condemn the masses for failure to appreciate their exalted profiler of service. The masses have no faults, merely misfortunes. The educated man and woman must devise some means and methods of reaching them, just as they able to eat in clean and updatable places which are operated for white people only. Then, too, there exists the general carelessness on the part of the women who go to markets where they are cheated out of thousands of ounces of foodstuffs yearly and out of hundreds of dollars, taken from them one or two cents at a time. The storekeepers know that they do not keep their eyes on the scales; they know that they hardly ever count their change. In this way, by their own carelessness, they pay excessive charges for commodities which they must use daily. But the great cause for the Negro small birth rate and abnormal death rate may be found in other and more deep-seated reasons. Of course the problem of population is bound up in the problem of work and wages; and the child has the greatest chance for survival whose parents bring to the home influence most food, clothing, education, comfort and wealth. The real and principal reason for the low birth rate and the abnormal death rate may be found in the general mystical understanding which the average colored man in farmland has of life and of health. In the matter of the death rate, Health Department figures give as the cause certain diseases, such as heart and lung diseases, kidney diseases, syphilis and nervous disorders. In the matter of the birth rate the responsibility to rear and have children does not appear to form any serious part of the consideration which the colored man and woman give to life. Marriage to the average colored person is more of a joke than anything else; and childbearing and child supporting a burden. In the year 1826, as reported by the white and colored press, there were 165 divorces granted to residents of Harlem. In the case of forty-seven there were children. An independent investigation conducted by the writer shows that there are 20,000 families in Arrows By R. A.

This is a motto worth your while: So, whatever you strive to do. Whatever course you may pursue, If others frown or smile. With all your heart. EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS are, without one plea. Otherwise the higher education of the race will be pronounced a failure. Perhaps the greatest exception to the general rule above set forth is to be seen in the Negro press. At one time college breed Negroes spurned even to write for colored publications, on the ground that they fell so far short of literary form and mechanical perfection that it would belittle their name to appear on their pages. But now the Negro press is coming more and more under the editorship and ownership of college men. Negro journals are reaching and influencing masses of the race as no other agency is now effecting. The appeal which they often make seems offensive to the type of taste which the editors cultivated in the good old college days. But the masses must be reached and stimulated even at some sacrifice of the stiff orthodox academic standard. When I read the Negro press and look over the pages upon pages devoted to crime, scandal and dubious forms of amusement, my moral nature is disposed to revolt. But I am steadied by the thought that the appeal must be made to the masses in such forms as the masses can and will respond to. This is precisely the lesson that the talented tenth must learn. On the whole the Negro press is the greatest voice for right-ousness now crying in the wilderness to the American con- Harlem: of these more than 61 per cent have no children, and between the ages of 31 and 35 years of age—the period when child-bearing and child supporting is almost intolerable as a new social and family obligation. Thousands of married men and women are living in Harlem who will openly declare that they are married persons living apart from their mates; of this class very few have even taken the bother to take the matter to the courts and have them pass upon the basis of their separation. In this connection there is a peculiar angle which indicates the general trend towards promiscuity in social relations in Harlem. In 1926 there were reported in the colored press in Harlem and in the "Harlem Home News" thirty-one raids conducted by private detectives upon persons having illicit relations. In these raids there were discovered twenty-six couples who were each married and either living apart from their mates or married and living with their mates and yet carrying on this illicit relationship. In five cases only did it occur that only one of the parties involved in the raids was married. This would indicate a high state of moral decay; for whatever may be the reasons which bring about this state of affairs, this condition is not conducive to that state of mind which would seriously recognize the social and racial obligation to produce and to support children. During the year 1926 there were examined in the Washington Heights Court seventeen cases of statutory rape and nine cases of actual rape. The seventeen cases of statutory rape were those in which the female, being under legal age, could not have given legal consent to the act and therefore, since there was no consent, the act was brought about by force. In the nine other cases, however, while they were also under Plowing Deep From the windows of the railroad coach could be seen a farmer, plowing. He was not following a plow drawn by a horse or horses, as in other years. He was not weary from walking behind the plow, hour after hour. He was not "just scratching the ground," but he was riding on a machine plow, a plow drawn by a tractor; and he was plowing deep! Watching this plowman came visions of other days; of a plow drawn by a horse, or horses; then came thoughts of the contrast between the yield of the ground under the old system of plowing and that under the new system—the method of plowing deep. From the literal plowing thoughts drifted the life-fields Learned One-Tenth Has Not Succeeded in Arousing the Enthusiasm of the Masses ---One Exception Is the Negro Press, Which Dean Miller Praises --- science. It is the voice of the masses of the people. As illustration of my meaning. I had an article in "The Education It view" for December on "The Higher Education of the Negro at the Cross Roads." I very seriously doubt whether five hundred Negroes in the United States saw or heard of this contribution. On the other hand I broadcasted a New Year release in the Negro press, and judge that it reached the eye of three million readers. The elite is now making appeal in artistic form under the guise of the New Negro. This movement should be watched with great interest and not without some apprehension. The chief burden of concern is to reach the white public, rather than the Negro reader. An appeal is too often made to the coarser and cruder side of life merely to amuse the white race, as the clown used to do for the court. There is a certain neurotic strain that may forebode the race little permanent good. Negro authors are writing for white readers. We feel proud to get an article in the white PROBLEM Divorce Raids Indicate Professional and Have Few Children to Succeeding Divorce Raids Indicate Moral Decadence Professional and Wealthy Negroes Have Few Children --- Owe Duty to Succeeding Generations --- the age, there was no contention on the part of the accused that there had been given anything which could be even construed as consent. This indicates the moral instability which has come over the Harlem Negro and is surely not the kind of moral fibre out of which proper parenthood might spring. All of this is bad enough, but when the fact is taken into consideration that the chance for the survival of the child when born depends upon the economic condition of the father and upon the intelligence of the mother, and when it is further considered that the so-called best families in Harlem do not produce many children, the problem assumes much graver aspects. WEALTHY FAMILIES ARE OFTEN WITHOUT CHILDREN. Of the eighteen lawyers who were investigated only three had children; of the twenty-six married physicians, nine had children; of the nine dentists, two had a child each; of five professional singers, one had four children and four were without children; of eleven musicians who are prosperous, three had children; of the seven school teachers, one had two children and two had one each; of the 113 business men, twenty-seven had children, the average of which was one. An investigation of Civil Service employees disclosed that of 105 nineteen had children; of three social workers, neither had a child, and of eighty-one college graduates, who were engaged in high income-producing occupations, only eleven had children. This is a poor showing for the Harlem Negro, when a similar group of Italians, Jews, Irish and and the comparative results of deep plowing and shallow plowing in these important fields. Here are some of the deductions: 1. In the field of truth shallow plowing will mean meagre yield, adulterated varieties, dimness and indistinctness, false ideas and misconceptions, misdirected efforts, wasted energies and limited usefulness. 2. Shallow plowing in the field of knowledge is very prevalent in this area of superficialities, when many are easily satisfied with such results. There are those who simply study enough to "get by," meaning to make their grades and get their certificates and diplomas. Those who have made great contributions to the common weal of humanity have been such as plowed deep in the important field of knowledge. magazine than in the Messenger, the Crisis or Opportunity. It is true that the educated Negro must serve as a middle man between the races. It is he who must make the appeal to Pharah, but he must remember that Pharah given heed to Moses only in so far as he is convinced that he speaks with the voice of the people whom he purports to represent. The educated Negro must first make influence and understanding with his own race before he can hope to make much impression on the white mind. My space is too limited for full treatment. I promise are early release upon the failure of the college bred Negro to assume his rightful place in commanding the pulpits in the great denomination, and thus efficiently administering the great religious estate which our more illiterate fathers bequeathed to us. But first I must pay my respects to my good friend, Mr Robert L. Vann, and the Pittsburgh Courier concerning his repeated inquiry about the Negro Sanhedrin. This next. Moral Decadence Wealthy Negroes ren --- Owe Duty Generations Scandinavians is compared with him. The duty which the Negro generally and the Harlem Negro particularly, owes to the survival of the Negro race, is and ought to be exemplified in his behavior. But instead, the church the Negro press, the social and other group organizations are absolutely devoid of expression on this most important point. It has been said by many that it was not their desire to bring forth children who would suffer in the world of prejudice as they the parents, had. This is the argument of a weak race; this is the excuse which morally decayed people make in order to hide their total selfishness. The Jews, the most persecuted race on earth, the Negro not excepted, continues all over the world, where he lives and suffers to bring forth more, and more and more Jewish children to carry on the fight and the eternal struggle for Jewry, so that the prophecy may be fulfilled. This must be the attitude of the Harlem Negro; this must be his contribution to his race. If the Harlem Negro, who is more fortunate in his social and economic life than is any other Negro in any other part of the world, refuses to reproduce his kind, what on earth must be said of those Negroes who toiled in the heat of the day and in the heart of the prejudiced areas of the South and the West Indie during the time in our history when extermination was near the lot of the race than survival Yet, these found time to reproduce themselves in order that we might be here to enjoy the fruits of their labor, however small. Let us who are here a least make such sacrifices to the next generations as were mad for us of the present generation 3. Deep plowing in the field of religion is woefully neglected for much of the religious activity is amazingly and insaneable superficial. In religion, today there is too much of professing and too little of possessing and practicing. There is too much of having "the form of Godliness without the power of Godliness. Because of the resultant effect of this condition religion is being discredited; and it is failing in its effects, not because of lack of intrinsic worth but because of lack of faith in it. caused by mistakes and inconsistencies in it practice. In all of these and in all other life-fields the yield at harvest time will depend on deep plowing and intensive cultivation; and the intensive cultivation begin with deep plowing.

Wednesday, January 12, 1927 ROLAND Hayes in the South PROBABLY without realizing it, and Hayes is exerting a liberalizing force on the South to a greater extent than any other individual or organist. The South is yearning for a city not founded upon oppression—the old days—and not to hear Roland Hayes and appreciate his art is a rejection upon the South, not the singer. WE QUOTE from a recent issue ofattanooga, Times, which is owned byolph Ochs, of the New York Times, follows: Roland Hayes in the South PROBABLY without realizing it, Roland Hayes is exerting a liberalizing influence on the South to a greater extent than any other individual or organization. The South is yearning for a culture not founded upon oppression—as in the old days—and not to hear Roland layes and appreciate his art is a reflection upon the South, not the singer. WE QUOTE from a recent issue of the Chattanooga, Times, which is owned by Adolph Ochs, of the New York Times, as follows: Roland Hayes justly deserves the title of one of the foremost tenors of the world. In addition to possessing one of the most musical voices ever heard in this city. Hayes is the perfect artist, in that he has the ability to lift his audience out of the realistic world into that realm where beauty and the ennobling virtues predominate. Tain gross existence, with its sordid hickering for gain and sunremacy, fades away almost at the first note Roland Hayes utters. As the program proceeds from one entrancing number to another, each seeming to gain in beauty, the audience comes more and more under the spell of the artist until at the end the enthusiasm of the listeners exceeds conventional restraint, attesting to the skill with which the artist has played upon the heart-strings of his hearers. The members of both races, used the front entrance to the auditorium and no unpleasantness was manifest. The men and women of both races were courteous to each other, and the atmosphere of the entire crowd was one of pleased expectancy attendant upon the appearance of any world-famous artist. ATHUS, in hearing Roland Hayes, the wife people of Chattanooga were only enraptured by the singer, learned that they could use the saxophone and sit near Negroes in the orchestra, loges, boxes and balconies the city auditorium, without the needling in on them. THUS, in hearing Roland Hayes, the white people of Chattanooga were not only enraptured by the singer, but earned that they could use the same entrance and sit near Negroes in the orchestra, loges, boxes and balcony of the city auditorium, without the rooilalling in on them.

DISINTEGRATION, which set in long before Marcus Garvey left for a five-year sojourn in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., has done and is doing more to kill the Garvey organization than all other forces operating against it combined. As long as there was a resemblance of unity, as long as Marcus Garvey was free to steer the members of the organization in either the right or the wrong direction, the U. N. I. A. EDITORIAL PAGE was, seemingly, able to weather the storms and had good prospects of making a landing somehow, somewhere, sometime. AN ORGANIZATION divided against itself is almost sure to fall. This is the one lesson to be learned from the experiences of the Universal Negro Improvement Association — now almost extinct except for the idea which gave it birth; an idea which it failed to live by — UNITY.

A few days ago ex-Governor Dunne, of Illinois, issued a warning to the Democrats to go slow on unseating Mr. Smith, for, if they succeed, the Republicans may retaliate by prying into the election of Southern Senators, most of whom hold their seats because violations of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are permitted in their states.

EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES they Worked as They Dream They Worked as They Dreamed (From Joe New York Sun) An interesting aspect of this year's Harmon Foundation awards for good work done in art and literature of Negroes is that the successful men included at least two whose creative work has been done without interruption of their daily tasks. Palmer C. Hayden, by whom the prize for painting was won, is a house cleaner and window washer; Arthur A. Siennburg, who made a collection of manuscripts and prints illustrative of Negro life, which was bought for the Public Library and is now in the 153th street branch, earns his living in a bank. Whether the other two men distinguished by the foundation toll for their bread in some calling other than literature is not recorded; if they do so much the more credit to them and so much the brighter their prospects. an interesting aspect of this year's Harmon not awards for good work done in art and b law. Norwegians is that the successful men inc cident two whose creative work has been about interruption of their daily tasks. Pa Hayden, by whom the prize for painting is a house cleaner and window washer: A Sicilianburs, who made a collection of manus prints: illustrative of Negro life, which right for the Public Library and is now in each street branch, earns his living in a rather the other two men distinguished by adaptation toll for their bread in some calling a literature is not recorded; if they do so a more credit to them and so much the brighter prospects. The ambition that impels a man who has finished one day of hard or trying labor to attempt another exhausting effort is based on something to achieve a tour de force. His will to express himself springs from a deeper motive than mere vanity. Paul Laurence Dunbar sang because his soul was filled with music; he did not write poetry merely to prove that an elevator runner could concoct verse. So with these others of his race: their purpose has been creation, and the urge which drove them forward was fine and true, not cheap and tawdry. What Fate has in store for youthful prize winners in the arts no man dares pretend to fortell, but confident expectation of continued creditable work is more justified when they are self-dependent workers than it would be if they were sheltered from the actualities of life in the attempt to show that talent is genius. AFTER my principal meetings I have spoken to the students of Manchester University, in Dalton Hall, and to those of the University of Leeds in Devonshire Hall. The college students of England appear to be very much like those of America - full of "questions," interested in international subjects, and keen to get the "low down" on the race question. As might be expected, the Englishman is a bit more ready to express agreement with the colored American side of the matter. Even a student from South Africa, in the Leeds group, was strangely unbiased on the "color" question. We are trying to suggest to England that the United States of America, especially the Southern side of it, ought to be a good guide book to them on the subject of "What Not to Do" in Africa ... segregation, disfranchisement, industrial discrimination. Africa is the world's greatest future resource, in both materials and men. If England could be acts of justice, in "the psychological moment," plant a confidence and love for England in the head and heart of the African blacks, the future of Britain would be securer than it will otherwise be. But statesmen are usually so pig-headed and short-sighted that they seldom do anything when it would really be to the everlasting credit of their nation; they usually wait to be compelled—or they hold what they might surrender with great profit in "futures" and prefer to "trade" in at Versailles, or Washington, or Loews. They then get what they are immediately and directly driving for—but lose the greater FUTURE. It sounds like "Who's she" but it is pronounced "How show" He is a Chinaman, a professor now in the University of Peking; a graduate of Cornell and Columbia, and at present lecturing in England under the "Boxer indemnity" money, which England, consistent with the pigheaded policy of statesmen, is just now surrendering for education in China, instead of having surrendered it long ago, when the United States surrendered our similar claim and when it would have meant much in friendship for England from China. China will never forget that the United States gave up America's claim when it really meant something to China; when China was almost down and out, and when the other great nations were pressing the poor debtor for a settlement. The greatest opportunity of all was the chance which Japan threw away—a chance to tie herself in eternal friendship with the Chinese by surrendering Shantung, or returning that province to China after Japan had taken it from the Germans. If Japan had returned the property to China at once, without waiting for the termination of the World War, or at latest without waiting for a chance to barter at the "Washington Disarmament Conference," the greater part of the yellow world might have been united under the hegemony of Japan. But Japanese statesmen were too pigheaded, as statesmen so often are, and threw away a big future for a small "crash down." To act in the psychological moment, to take the tide in the affairs of men, is what distinguishes the greatest statesmanship. If the nations follow the lead of Mississippi they will make even greater mistakes in their relations to portentous Africa. TRAMS. The electric street cars, or trams, as the English call them, are mostly two story, like some of the New York buses. And there are some "trackless trams" that do not run on a track, but run by trolley wires and two trolley arms. They have rubber tires and run on the pavement like buses, and trolley arms that keep under the wires like electric cars. They must therefore have two trolley arms to get the two kinds of electricity. Instead of calling them trackless trams they might be called "trolley buses." BABIES AND HOMES. When I was in England years ago I was a "tourist" and saw THINGS but not PEOPLE. This time I am with the English people. I am their guest everywhere—sometimes in a home where mother does all the work and sometimes in a home with an army of servants and a lot of conservative English formality. In two weeks I have seen about two colored persons, and they paid no attention to me. It is interesting to note the approach and manner of whites that are unspoiled by color-mania. One can see it even in the little children. In every home the little ones BOOK CHAT by MARY WHITE OVINGTON TO VISIT the University of North Carolina today "you alight from the 'Carolina Special' at Durham, ride in an excellent auto bus twelve miles over the model road of the State, and arrive at a beautiful inn that is comparable in its surroundings and service with the best of model inns elsewhere." There is writing of this sort in "The Advancing South," booster tales of comfort where there was once dilapidation. I am thoroughly in sympathy with Mr. Mims for featuring this side of life. Good roads, good hotels, neat houses, mean a high standard of living and progress. We can heartily rejoice at the advance the South has made in bodily comfort, and if we are Northerners, take some credit to ourselves, since we have patronized many of the "best inns." The story Mr. Mims tells of industrial management in the Birmingham Steel Mills is also important. The mills have built up a model town for their workers and have not shown race discrimination. (For the Associated Negro Press) "take" to me—even the babies stretch out their arms and want to leave their mothers and come to the guest. Evidently such children have not been told that "the black man will get you if you don't be good." Babies have a lot of sense about picking their friends and company, and the little blonde babies are just like the little brown ones—only the brownies are on the whole better-looking. "TOM BROWN'S SCHOOL DAYS." The famous Rugby School is still there, a much bigger institution than when "Tom Brown" studied in it. The old buildings are there and many modern additions. I spoke to the boys one day on the race and color problems that face the English in the world, and the enthusiasm of the modern little cookneys made me think of all the references to BOOK MARY WHITE "The Advantage By EDWIN MIMS. Published in 285 Madison Avenue. New TO VISIT the University alight from the Carolina an excellent auto bus road of the State, and arri comparable in its surroundi of model inns elsewhere." There is writing of this booster tales of comfort whe I am thoroughly in sympa ting this side of life. Good re mean a high standard of life. We can heartily rejoice made in bodily comfort, and some credit to ourselves, si of the "best inns." The st trial management in the li important. The mills have their workers and have not To me, the most interesting part of the book is the South's struggle for academic freedom. We learn of great moments in the past, when Trinity College (now Duke University) stood by John Spencer Bassett. Bassett had written an article in which he had said that save for General Lee Booker Washington was the greatest man the South had produced for a hundred years. One can imagine the uproar. When the Board of Trustees after a protracted sitting, decided that academic freedom must be preserved and refused to accept the resignation that Professor Bassett was ready to present, it was three o'clock in the morning. But the student body, the youths who are doing so much for freedom in the South today, were up waiting eagerly for the news of the outcome, and when they heard they rang the college bell and made bonfires of victory. Another great moment was the freeing of Vanderbilt University from the domination of the Methodist Church. The story of the University of North Carolina is a continuous tale of successful bouts with a legislature that was more conservative than the college and yet that learned to be very proud of the achievements of its men of science and letters. Howard W. Odum's Journal of Social Forces is given special mention. This is accounted by two such diverse critics as Ross of Wisconsin and Mencken of the American Mercury as the most interesting and comprehensive journal of its kind in the United States. There are chapters on the newspapers that are doing liberal work, among them the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Charleston News and Courter and the Columbia State. The Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer-Sun, edited by Jillan Harris, son of Joel Chandler Harris, is not afraid of the truth as when it states that "Georgia holds the first place among her sister States for the LETTERS "Rugby" in English literature. They have a fine athletic field, the same on which football originated. It was "foot" ball at first, you know—and was not handed by the hands—but kicked along. And they have a tablet on a wall to the honor of the Rugby chap who first grabbed the ball in his arms, in defiance of the rules, and CARRIED it to the goal, and by this violation created modern football, which is now really more handball than foot. It is interesting to note that a chap who violated a rule, and perhaps got disqualified and censured on the spot, is now honored on a monument as having, by his violation, created an EPOCH. From Rugby I went to Coventry, the home place of George Elliot the novelist. And all the roads in a section of the town are named for her novels and for the characters of the novels. I was a guest on Lydgate Road (the English call streets and avenues "roads"), and there was Middlemarch Road nearby. "Dr. Lydgate" is a character in "Middlemarch" if I recall rightly. in Birmingham I stayed with that fine old English family, the Sturges, whose family name is on the monuments of the neighborhood. It was Joseph Sturge who was mine host, and to his father, Joseph Sturge, stands a great statue on one of the city squares. In the guest book where I signed my name were the names of "Booker T, and Mrs. Booker T. Washington." some years and many pages back. Birmingham is a city of about one million people. There, also I had a great meeting with the English Labor Party, sharing the occasion with some of the fighting Labor candidates for the next election. Today I am at Woodbrooke School, a Quaker haven of which I may speak later.

Nell Battle Lewis of the Raleigh News and Observer comes in for high praise. I can only see her as she stood on the platform of Smith College, class day orator, talking on the South and as she came to the Negro saying with a little sneer and a wave of the hand: "On this subject I refer you to the Negro minstrel." A colored classmate of four years was facing her. The South has indeed advanced Nell Battle Lewis has had a change of heart. When it comes to the Negro question, Mr. Mims, like other advancing Southerners, does not talk much. Even the Interracial Committee's work is dismissed with a few pages. To me, he is least convincing when he asks us to have sympathy with the white man who has, borne the burden of the Negro's criminality, disease and inefficiency. Disease, crime and inefficiency are social problems. In so far as the South has been improvised, all its working class has suffered from them. Today as long as the Southern employer of labor discriminates against the black man in education, health, housing he will suffer; but we have no more reason to pity him than we have reason to pity exploiters of labor in the North. It is good to learn of this advancing section. And if it has to lie about science to please its Fundamentalists, it does not have to lie about history to please the American Legion as we do in New York State. Crisis Announces The February issue of The Crisis Magazine will contain an- Prohibition and the Liquor Traffic IT SEEMS to me prohibition is causing as much crazy talk and unreasonable discussion as does the subject of religion. Drink reformers are beclouding the public mind with plenty of moral platitudes; the prohibition officials are giving out statements that are filled with hypocrisy, while the bootleggers are making and selling plenty of drinks containing wood alcohol. The Government is losing money and the public is drinking "bad stuff." By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. The Federal enactment against the sale and manufacture of ethyl alcohol was not necessary. It aims at the liberty of the sober majority, the people who know how and when to take a drink. The minority of people who lack will power will always exist. These will be drunkards, criminals and vicious. The Government should have methods to deal with them when they prostitute liberty beyond the limits of license. There will always be people who take too much of anything—too much drink, too much food, too much pleasure, too much work. These will become slick physically and mentally. Instead of making a law prohibiting all people from taking an alcoholic drink, the Government and drink reformers should use the money and their organization forces to educate the people to know the bad effects and ill health of excessive alcohol drinking, just as the anti-tuberculosis leagues do to educate the people to know the causes of tuberculosis and how to prevent the infection. Temperance should be the aim and not prohibition. There will never be true prohibition. Instead of prohibition we have today many new evils which did not exist before. Bootleg liquor is the most pressing evil. There is a well-organized traffic in this poisonous stuff. I am almost believing that prohibition was instituted and is still being fostered for the benefit of the bootleggers. The liquor they are selling has a large percentage of wood alcohol. The chemical name of wood alcohol is methyl alcohol, in contradistinction to ethyl alcohol, which is the purified alcohol of preprohibition days. Wood alcohol is a colorless volatile liquid manufactured by the destructive distillation of wood. It is extremely poisonous. There is quite a difference in the chemical changes within the body between ethyl alcohol (grain alcohol) and methyl alcohol (wood alcohol). Wood alcohol is slowly and incompletely oxidized in the body while ethyl or grain alcohol is promptly and completely changed to carbon dioxide and water. Wood alcohol changes within the body into formaldehyde and formic acid, two extremely toxic poisons. This is the alcohol which the Government is adding to the extent of a 4 per cent to the ethyl alcohol, so as to prevent the people from drinking it as liquor. It is the ignorant and poor class, who know nothing of this poisonous addition, who buy from the bootleg dispenser of whiskey and gin. These develop blindness, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney disease death. In these probiltionship days we are having a large percentage of acute severe alcoholism. In these the person so affected suddenly becomes sick, and rapidly grows worse and soon dies. Citrine alcoholism is still prevalent. This is a sad state of affairs. The rich man can and does buy the regular standardized bonded liquor which contains only ethyl alcohol. This does not kill or cause blindness unless taken in very large quantities. The poor and ignorant man can only buy bootleg whiskey orgin, which contains wood alcohol. put there by the Government to the extent of 4 per cent. This kind kills and causes blindness when only an ordinary amount is taken.

Even the preachers, the judges the senators, the doctors but their good liquor, while the people in the pews, in the tenement district, the ordinary voter had to buy bad liquor. He has no money to buy the bonded stuff, as he drinks what he can get. The result is that during the year 1926 there were reported to the department of vital statistics of New York 760 deaths due to alcohol poisoning. This is only part of the bad effects. There are thousands of people whose vital organs, such as the optic nerve of the eye, the kidneys, the stomach and the liver, are injured by the quickl accumulative action of the toxic wood alcohol. Human beings are subjected to the stress and strain of life. The body and the spirit will always need some stimulant. Christ, Himself, did not condemn the juice of the grape. Excessive indulgence in liquor, like any other excessive indulgence of human appetite, is bad. It is not the drink—provided that the drink is not poisonous—which is evil, it is the abuse of the drink. All over the world millions of people are overworked, underfed live in unsanitary tenement with insufficient space, ventilation and light. In short, social discomfort, economic pressure, unhappiness, and misery are the conditions in which a large proportion of the people live. As long as this is a people will drink. Alcohol stimulates and soothes. The spirit and body demand it. Reformers can do one of two things. Seek to change the social inequalities of present day civilization, or else allow a coholic drinks to be made in which only standardized bonded ethyl alcohol is contained. The should seek to foster temperance rather than prohibition. Such method would end the present day evils of bootleggers, wood alcohol, fraudulent prohibitic officials, increased alcoholic diseases and death.
