Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Connecticut's Anti-Marriage Bill SOCIAL fears have at last entered Connectcut, the "Nutmeg" State, and a nervous member of the General Assembly has introduced a bill to prohibit the intermarriage of Caucasians and persons of Negro blood. The ambitious bill provides the penalty of a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 or imprisonment of one to two years for the persons who so intermarry, or who perform the ceremony at such a marriage. This column has not as yet found out who the fear-striken lawmaker was who is attempting to bring into New England the anti-marriage backwash of Dixie. Perhaps he was some relative or friend of Kip Rhinelander; or, maybe, some cyclops who desires to teach the peaceful State of Connecticut how to improve upon its social customs and laws. Be that as it me, every social fundamentalist knows that misrepresentation laws are merely prototypes of the ostrich whose head is sticking in the sand, save that such laws further aid in the persecution (Continued on Page 4.) POSTPONE SENTENCE OF OFFICER WHO KILLED DE FORREST Jury Finds Former Patrol Man Higgins Guilty of Manslaughter in the Second Degree - Penalty, Seven to Fifteen Years Found guilty of man-slaughter in the second degree last Tuesday for fatally inuring Clinton De Forrest. 36. 256 West 130th street. Policeman Joseph A. Higgins, white, of the Arsenal Station in Central Park, who was to have been sentenced Monday, asked for and was granted a postponement of sentence until Jan. 31. Higgins was tried in General Sessions before Judge Mancuso. The penalty for his offense is from seven and one-half to fifteen years in prison. De Forrest died Aug. 29 in Metropolitan Hospital, where he was taken suffering from a fracture of the skull after Higgins had beaten him up and left him in Central Park on Aug. 24. Higgins claimed that he struck De Forrest and knocked him down while, supposedly, arresting him for acting suspiciously in the park. Upon his arrest for assault before De Forrest's death, Higgins denied having attacked the man or having any knowledge as to how De Forrest had suffered his injuries. On the night of Aug. 24, shortly before midnight, John Muller, white, 376 Fifth avenue, and a woman called at the Arsenal station, and reported they had seen a policeman beat a man with his fists on the West Drive near Seventy-first street. Only 15 minutes later Joseph Henn, also white, 3311 Broadway, found D Forrest lying uncon- (Continued on Page 4) This Week's News Index Editorials General, Local and National News (Logo First Page, Second Section.)

Jecer without the formality ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 21.—The opening clash in the legal embroglio between Mrs. Annie Pope-Turnbo-Malone, founder of Poro College, and her husband, Aaron E. Malone, took place here today in the antiquated court room of Cicuit Court Judge Hartman, with neither of the principals present and with the opposing groups of high-priced lawyers sparring for position and time. Today's procedure was the first hearing on the petition and receivership issue. Mr. Malone had filed his petition for an accounting of the business, in which he is claimin a 50 per cent interest. Judge Hartman appointed a receiver without the formality of a hearing. today's proceedings, in view of that fact that the receiver already has been appointed, would have determined whether or not the receivership was to be made permanent. The temporary receiver, a gentleman of the crimson neck vavety, took charge last Thursday, sursending Mrs. Malone in authority signing all checks and controlling the huge daily income. He stopped payment on all outstanding checks, called all the department heads together and in a speech informed them that he was "he boss now" and gave a definite trication of what might be expected under a white receivership.

Sprisingly few of St. Louis' piment colored folk were in evidence. Both principals had evidently been notified that a continuance would be granted. It was. Edward Foristel, Mr. Malone's counsel, is a damage suit attorney, who an uncanny reputation for wining his cases, the winning ruler than the method being the important thing with him, accorded to rumors. He has won several damage suits recently for color people, all of them against big construction firms or street car companies, and has invariably won as high as fifteen and twenty busand, taking as a rule 50 per cent for his fee. He is one of the political bosses St. Louis County, the "Under Over Boss" they call him. He takes judges and public officials, pugh not holding office himself, his because of his might that any of the colored residents preet that Mr. Malone will win, readless of the intrinsic merit of his case. These perhaps hyper-sensitive int to the fact that the judge, so is a Jew, and well-known as a justice who two years ago deed that it was equitable for a rk commissioner to set aside one yr for Negroes to play on a public if course, is a member of cristal's political faction. So is a receiver. "It's all cut and dried," say these k. "A permanent receiver will appointed. They already have sked out a colored man, a lawyer entitled with that group, to be a receiver, as a sop to colored blic opinion, just as they have med an obscure colored lawyer associate in the case. The reveriorship may drag on for three or four years. The court will sell, me rich Jew will step in and by it, and that will spell the end Poro as a racial institution." "Mr. Malone does not realize the anger to the welfare of the group the move that he is making." (Continued on Page 2.) DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS. Ete.

("Sleepy Charlie") Hodge, 28 years old, was arrested at his home, 2340 Seventh avenue, Manhattan, early Wednesday on a charge of homicide in connection with the death the night before of Helen Anderson, who was found dead in a yard at the rear of 355 Cumberland street.

Questioned by Assistant District Attorney Ewald. Torper told Magistrate McKiniry he was driving along Eighth avenue at 145th street when he noticed a crowd of colored people attacking a white man. He is then alleged to have entered the crowd and attempted to aid the white man, who proved to be Harry Pinkerson, 1416 Wythe place. Dr. Cheyney, who was sustained by four witnesses, said that Torpey had an iron bar in his hand and struck several persons with it. He declared further that he was struck in the face by Torpey, who cursed him, and that when Torpey and several other white men continued to strike him with their fists, he pulled a small knife and struck in self-defense.

M. E. ZION MINISTER IN NEW BRITAIN Found Guilty at Church Trial of Banking Monies in Own Name, Slanderous Language and Intoxication NEW BRITAIN. Conn. Jan. 24. — The Rev. L. F. Alston, pastor of the A.M.E. Zion Church here, has been found guilty of conduct unbecoming a minister and his removal from the church as pastor has been recommended. This action took place before an ecclesiastical court of the church last week. The court acted at the instigation of a grievance committee led by the board of trustees, who were appointed November 25 last to investigate errors of a disturbing nature to the welfare to the church. Specific charges made by the committee against the Rev. Mr. Alston were: banking church monies in his own name without consent of the trustees, abusive and slanderous language and intoxication. The Rev. S. W. Weller of Middletown, Conn., presiding elder of the New England conference, was informed of these grievances and referred them to the bishop. Dr. B. W. Swain of Boston, Mass., was chairman of the trial committee appointed by Elder Weller, the Rev. James Gorham of Hartford, secretary. I. B. Walters, New London, George F. Green, Danbury; D. R. Overton, Torrington; M. N. Greene, Plainville, and the Rev. Henry Durham of Worcester, Mass., who acted as counsel for the church, were others on the committee. The Rev. H. R. Jackson of Bridgeport was counsel for the accused minister. The minister was found guilty of all three of the charges made against him and his removal as pastor of the New Britain church was recommended to the Bishop. Driver Knocks Down Two and Speeds On A man and a woman were taken to Harlem Hospital in dangerous conditions Saturday night after having been struck and knocked down by a speeding auto at 135th street and Lenox avenue. The machine was a Chandler touring car and the driver escaped. Many men jumped upon the running boards of taxicabs and attempted to capture the speed maniac, but were unable to overtake him. The injured persons were Mrs. Mary McKenner, 23. 133 West 140th street, and Stanley Armstrong, 31, 2349 Seventh avenue. Mrs. McKenner is in a bad condition, suffering from cuts and bruises about the head, face and body. She also suffers from internal injuries. Armstrong was badly hurt about the chest and arms. It is feared many bones are fractured "Bootleg Liquor Causing Insanity" Four Persons Sent to Bellevue for Observation Within Four Hours Conditions of alleged insanity are steadily increasing in Harlem, according to the reports from the psychopathic department of Bellevue Hospital. It is said that it is hard to determine the exact cause of this steady increase, but many cases are claimed to be more or less contributed to by the poisonous ingredients of intoxicating beverages. The consumption of these beverages naturally is not responsible for all cases of insanity. Eyelashes, with four hours, four persons are said to have been directed to be removed from their homes to Bellevue Hospital for psychopathic observation. They were: Mrs. Mae Middleton, 37. 19 Edgecombe avenue, who was removed by Nurse Smith at 10:15 p. m. at the direction of Dr. Tumen of Harlem Hospital; James Golden, 47. 129 West 132d street, who was accompanied to Bellevue Hospital by Patrolman Lewis Cishelholm at the direction of Dr. Ginsberg of Harlem Hospital; William Nichols, 53. 303 West 130th street, who was taken to Bellevue Hospital by Nurse Delaney at the direction of Dr. Alen, and Mrs. Elizabeth Blake, 50. 32 Macrombs place. It is claimed that Mrs. Blake was examined by Dr. Bearskbley of Columbus Hospital, who directed that she be taken to the psychopathic ward of Bellevue Hospital, but her relatives refused to have her sent there. Special Citizens' Welfare Meeting Postponed The meeting Sunday of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem, at which Harlem's accomplishments during the year 1926 were to have been discussed by leaders in many fields of endeavor, scheduled to be held in the auditorium of Junior High School No. 136, 185th street and Edgecomba avenue, was postponed until this coming Sunday, on account of inclement weather. Another feature of the meeting was to have been the awarding of gold and silver medals to persons whose service to the community was outstanding. This will also take place on Sunday afternoon. Quite a number of people braved the sleet and rain of last Sunday afternoon to attend the meeting, but the president of the council, Dr. Charles A. Butler, and his advisers deemed it best to postpone it so that a larger number could be present. The council meets at 3 p. m. Meritorious Service of Patrolmen Recognized For meritorious conduct in the line of duty, recognition by the Police Department was awarded Thursday to thirty-nine members of the force, six of them posthumously. Commissioner McLaughlin announced the names would be placed on a tablet in headquarters. The posthumous awards included those to Detective John M. Singer, white, of the Seventeenth Division, killed by a man he had under arrest. The name of Patrolman Charles Williams, who arrested two men who were about to commit a robbery, and Patrolman Martin J. Rhodes, who arrested a hold-up man, were on the list. 20 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections DEC. 31, 1909, at the Post Office Act of March 3, 1879.

Boinay, white, well-known automobile dealer of East Lexington, completed five hours of testimony Friday afternoon in Middlesex Superior Civil Court. A wave of laughter swept the crowded courtroom when Boinay, who is about fifty years old, in response to question by his ex-maid's counsel, denied that in 1917 she had "cut a lock of his hair, coiled it prettily and tenderly placed in a gold locket." Held in Theft of Blind Man's Car Man Admits He Served Term for Robbery Several Aliases Charged with stealing a blind man's automobile, Wilmot Thompson, 200 West 135th street, an exconvict with five aliases, was held without bail when arraigned in the Heights Court Monday morning. E. Coles, chauffeur for Jacob Miller, 217 West 140th street, testified that he left his boss $5,000 Cadillac standing in front of 107 West 125th street, where he was to call for funeral mourners. Saturday. He returned to enter the machine five minutes later only to see the car being driven off at a high rate of speed. In the thief's efforts to escape he collided with a taxi cab in front of 10 West 135th street. It is claimed that Thompson was seen leaving the wreckage and ran into the hallway at the latter address. He was arrested charged with grand larceny, and it is alleged that a quantity of narcotics was found in his possession. While on the stand Thompson admitted that he had served eleven months in the penitentiary for robbery and that he was also known as Albert Smith, William Wright, Clifford Breason, Peter Dally, and Wilmot B. Thompson. Mr. Miller, the owner of the stolen car, is a retired business man and blind. He appeared in court, being led to the witness stand by his chauffeur. Fighters Averts Disaster Quick action of the Fire Department probably saved the lives of several persons when fire, believed to have been of incendiary origin, broke out at 310, West 127th street early Monday morning. Fireman Thomas Enright of Engine Co. 37 and Clifton Lee. 25, who lodged in Mrs. Hattie Williams' apartment, were injured. fured. The ex-maid, Miss Daisy J. Turner, 35, of Lexington, is plaintiff in three actions against Boinay, which are being tried jointly. In one action Miss Turner seeks damages of $25,000, alleging that she and Boinay mutually agreed to wed and that he has refused to carry out his agreement. In the other two suits, seeking additional damages of $11,500, Miss Turner alleges that Boinay maliciously and falsely accused her of larceny of articles from his home and caused her home to be searched for these alleged stolen articles. He did this, she charges, to hurt her, "a single colored woman in a neighborhood of white folks," that the finger of scorn might be pointed at her and to frighten her out of the maintenance of lawful claims she had against him.

FOUNDER'S PERSONAL PROPERTY TAKEN. The last action of the judge to- day was to order $84,000 in bonds which upepured on’ the books as personal property to be turned over to the receiver. “The conten- tion here.” he ruled, “1s that this ik 4 co-partnership business. Therefore. there are no personal holdings and al! must be turned over to the recefrer. wito will be required to furnish ap additional tond of one hundred thousand do'- Inrs.” Malone's action follows a seriex of sensational stories derogatory to Mrs. Malone which have been ap- pearing in a local newspaper and which her friends charge weré in- spired by and in some faxtances actually written by Mr. Melone in order to provide a backsround for his court action. The papers carry- ing these stories have even been skipped and distributed free in sther cities where she wax well known and had large business in- rereals.

Snedeker followed to the third floor of the tenement at 51 West 135th street, where the two attacked him with knives. He was unarmed, but he fought back, and two other men came into the room and joined in the attack, knocking him down and kicking him. Moffett, who had followed them into the hall, ran up the stairs. The men heard him. Two ran into the hall to meet him. The two others went through the window to a fire escape. Moffett was turning the stairs at a landing when one of the men slashed at him with his knife. He fired his pistol without trying to hit them and they pushed past him to the street, where the other officers arrested them. The shot drew many people, several of whom demanded that the police release the two men, and when their demand was ignored they made such threatening gestures that the policemen drew pistols to hold them off. The prisoners said they were Thomas Martin, 25, marine fireman, of 104 West 132d street, and Edward Peco, 24, dishwasher, of 69 West 135th street. The police said they were robbers who pretended to be drug sellers to decoy victims to the tenement. They were charged with felonious assault and attempted robbery.

Attack Denver Citizen's Home Explosion of Bomb Shatters Windows of House Next Door DENVER, Colo., Jan. 24.—For the third time within two months the home of E. E. Carrington had been attacked. The first attack occurred at 2 o'clock of the morning of December 10, a bomb being placed under the porch of the Carrington house and blowing a hole in the porch as well as arousing the entire neighborhood. The second attack occurred on January 2, when six shots were fired at the house from ambush while Mrs. Carrington was standing talking to a neighbor. Three of the bullets penetrated the window, just back of Mrs. Carrington. A little later that evening shots were fired at the rear of the house, shattering an electric bulb on the sleeping porch. The latest attack, on January 15, was in the form of a bomb hurled on Mr. Carrington's front porch at 6 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Carrington rushed out of the door, seized the bomb and tossed it to the street. It exploded, the concussion shattering a window in a next door neighbor's house.

Conn. Considers Bill Barring Intermarriage HARTFORD, Jan. 21.—A bill was offered in the General Assembly Wednesday to prohibit intermarriage of Caucasians and persons of Negro blood. The penalty would be a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 or imprisonment of one to two years for persons who so intermarry, or who perform the ceremony at such a marriage. Connecticut has no law against miscegenation. Promptly upon receipt of news that a law prohibiting intermarriage had been introduced, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People communicated with its Hartford and other Connecticut branches, urging that a vigorous opposition to the proposed law be organized. A similar bill was introduced in the Massachusetts legislature by Representative Ralph Stevens of Whitman. PLASTERER'S. SON HELD ON GUN CHARGE Curtis Darden, 19, a plasterer, 208 Edgecon.be avenue, was arraigned before Magistrate Vitale in West Farms Court last, week, charged with having a revolver in his possession. According to the police, Darden carried the revolver to protect the payroll of his father, a plastering contractor. The youth was held for Special Sessions Court in $2,000 ball. He denied the charge. Darden was arrested by Detective Thompson of the Westchester Station. The detective said he went to a construction job at Silver street and Williamsbridge road, where, he said, he found Darden with the loaded revolver in his vest pocket. PREACHER SHOT AS HE LEAVES CHURCH ARKADELPHIA, Ark., Jan. 24—(By the Associated Negro Press)—As he was leaving his church last Sunday night in full view of his congregation, the Rev. M. C. Counter, pastor of a rural church near here, was shot and perhaps mortally wounded. His assailant escaped and the motive of the shooting is yet a mystery. The Rev. Mr. Counter is now confined in the Townsend Hospital of this city. Provided he has obtained additional evidence, the District Attorney may seek the reindictment of persons against whom previous indictments have been dismissed for lack of evidence, without having recourse to the Judge's decision. Last week Judge Allen of General Sessions, ruled Mr. Bauton's motion for permission to resubmit the particular case to the Grand Jury was not entertained. Judge Allen pointing out that the motion was not necessary if additional evidence had been gathered since the indictments were dismissed. The circumstances which brought about the ruling, the first of this nature as far as could be learned, had to do with Herbert and Joseph Roth, owners of Harlem pawnshops, who were dismissed last month on charges in an indictment accusing them of having criminally received stolen property. The Roths were indicted last August and held for trial when arraigned before Judge Mancuso. Former Assistant District Attorney Myers, their attorney, went before Judge Allen in December and moved for the dismissal of his clients on the ground that evidence against them was not sufficient and that the testimony on which the indictment had been returned was that of the alleged thief and uncorroborated. Judge Allen granted the motion dismissing the indictment. Later Mr. Banton, confident that he possessed legal evidence, sought permission of Judge Rosalsky to represent the testimony to the Grand Jury. Judge Rosalsky referred the matter to Judge Allen, who had dismissed the indictment, and the latter held that the court's permission was not needed when additional evidence has come to light. THRE PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO THE HEFT OF TAXICAB Pleading not guilty to a charge of grand larceny when he was arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate McKiniry, Albert J. Dell, 25, 15 East 131st street, has been held in $2,500 ball for the grand jury. Policeman McDonald, of the Alexander Avenue Station arrested Dell at 120th street and Third avenue, stating that he found him in possession of a taxicab, which had been reported to the police as being stolen. Adrian Richardson, 34, 205 West 119th street, testified that the taxicab recovered by Policeman McDonald had been stolen from him from in front of 53 West 135th street, where he had stopped for something to eat. He valued the taxicab at $3,000. SEN. McLEAN'S AUTO IN FATAL ACCIDENT (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24. Struck by the automobile of Senator George P.

"DIDN'T LIVE AS HUSBAND AND WIFE" MK LEXINGTON BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT FULL OF THRILLS (Continued from Page 1.) expressed their amusement when counsel inquired as to whether Miss Turner cut a lock of his hair in 1917. "She never did it to me, or her head would come off," Bolnay emphatically replied in answer to the complete question. "Did you send Daisy that poem?" queried counsel, showing Bolnay a piece of paper. "No, I didn't," answered Bolnay. Counsel produced a batch of letters and questioned Bolnay as to whether he had written them. Bolnay insisted that the handwriting on the numerous envelopes addressed to Miss Daisy J. Turner was of interest. He admitted writing one letter, which was headed "Miss Daisy," and set forth: "We leave on the $ n. m. train Friday, Sept. 15. Hastily." "When you wrote that letter weren't you going up to see Daisy?" queried counsel, the letter ADVERTISEMENT ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How to Treat.

"Didn't you make dates with Daisy from telephone stations for her to come in from Brookline and lunch or sup with you?" asked counsel. Bolnay denied that he made any telephone appointments to meet Miss Turner. DENIES INTIMATE "Did you ever live with her as man and wife?" counsel sharply queried. "No, I didn't," was the equally sharp reply. "Did you tell Rose (Rose Turner, a sister of Daisy Turner) a short time after your wife died, in answer to some question Rose asked you, that you were going to marry Daisy as soon as you could get your business affairs arranged?" asked counsel. HAD HER HOME RANSACKED. "Why, I never had any talk with her about it, or anyone else," replied Boinay. The defendant's first wife was a penniless white business woman. Boinay admitted, in response to questions that he accompanied officers on searches of Miss Turner's homes in Lexington and Grafton, Vt. on search warrants issued on his complaint, to search for articles which he alleged had been stolen from him. Counsel read the search warrants and the officers' returns on them into the record. According to the officers' returns, none of the articles alleged to have been stolen was found. Boinay emphatically denied that he had ever given Miss Turner presents or that he had received any from her. Miss Rose Turner. Daisy's sister, was called to the stand as the next witness. She testified that, just prior to her father's death, in 1823, she carried a message from her father to Boinay. According to the witness the message was to the effect that the father wanted Boinay to stay away from Daisy or marry her. SISTER SAYS HE PROMISED TO MARRY Miss Rose Turner testified that she delivered the message to Bolnay and that he replied that just as soon as he got his affairs straightened out he intended to marry Daisy. "I had another conversation with him." continued the witness. "It was at my home in 1923. He came there evenings, but I told him I didn't want him to. He said he didn't see any harm in it as long as he intended to marry Daisy." Referring to the time that Bolnay accompanied officers to Daisy's home with the search warrant, counsel asked: "To your knowledge had Mr. Bolnay been in Daisy's room before that?" "Yes, sir, he had." replied the witness. "Do you remember the circumstances?" "When he used to call to see her he used to go up to her room." Referring again to the time that Boinay accompanied the officers to Daisy's home on the searching party, the witness said that on that occasion another sister of Daisy said to Boinay: "Why, Mr. Boinay, I thought you were going to marry Daisy." Boinay replied, according to the witness: "Nothing doing now." It was brought out during the cross-examination that one of Daisy's sisters is married to a white man. The case was resumed Monday morning. Postpone Sentencing of Former Patrolman (Continued from Page 1) sculous in the roadway at the East Drive, near Seventy-first street.

A Rich Man's Profession BY ITS trend to persuasive activities, the American Bar Association has shown its emphatic disposition to make the practice of law a rich man's profession within the coming future. The handwriting on the wall is plainly apparent by the association's recommendations as top-legal training of exceptionally high standards for colleges of law. The recommendations are good for the law student who has countless funds at his disposal or whose parents are able to advance him about $1,000 a year for tuition and living expenses at some university whose courses meet with the approval of the American Bar Association—but what is going to become of the "Abraham Lincoln" type of law student, who, without funds, has legal tal- The Good Book For those who derive keen joy from good sight, The KAPLAN Eye Glasses are sure to bring a veritable eye festival, Relief of Headaches and Give Perfect Vision.

Upon the colored law student particularly the proposed requirements of the American Bar Association are going to work great hardships. Few of such students there will be who can muster up funds with which to attend expensive universities. For the most part, such students must attend night classes and humble colleges, which do not meet the favor of the august American Bar. But frequently they must work to help defray even the small expenses entailed under such conditions. Even so, who knows what insignificent youth might develop into a Daniel Webster. We no, not doubt the good faith of the American Bar Association in endeavoring to place the legal profession upon a higher plane; but we do doubt that the Association has given consideration to the enforced denial of studying privileges which many a poor "Blackstone" would face with troubled brow and laden mind. Let the American Bar Association concurrently with its recommendations, work out a plan for financing students who have abilities but who have not funds. Let not the profession lose fine prospective legal minds which will be needed in the future progress of American law, order and rights, of which the poor are in far greater need than are the rich.

THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT Marriage Again changed status of woman, new in the education of our children, the distance of the home, and the disappearance of the marriage law have all roles in creating fundamental problems, according to Dr. John at the Community Church Sunday. Thinks and says a transformation is in hand, although Dr. Holmes recognizes that certain solutions for the problem advanced, he does not necessarily a notice of any of them, namely: true freedom of sex relationships for the love. Changes that may take place are is going to be a free agent, the of birth control will be supervised and there will be a wider and freer places than at present.—T. E. B. THE changed status of woman, new ideas for the education of our children, the disappearance of the home, and the disappearance of the concept of the marriage law have all played important roles in creating fundamental problems of the married, according to Dr. John Haynes Holmes, at the Community Church Sunday morning. He thinks and says a transformation is necessary. And, although Dr. Holmes recognizes and admits that certain solutions for the problems have been advanced, he does not necessarily advocate the practice of any of them, namely: trial marriages, freedom of sex relationships for the married, and free love. The changes that may take place are these: Woman is going to be a free agent, the general practice of birth control will be supervised by the State, and there will be a wider and freer granting of divorces than at present.—T.

To flour allow one pint water. Free the suet from skin and shreds, chop extremely fine, rub well into flour, work the whole to a smooth paste with the water. This crust is usually rich enough, but if a richer one is desired, use one-half to three-quarters pound suet to each pound flour. Roll crust to one-half inch thickness, spread with cranberry sauce evenly, leaving small margin of crust without any. Roll it up, fasten the ends securely and tie in a floured cloth, put the pudding into boiling water and holl two hours. Serve with or without a hot or cold sauce.

The Cook Says— Spread fruit in an airy, light place, no two pieces touching, and it will keep longer. If stored in a dark, damp place, it will decompose more readily. When preparing prunes you may save time and gas by cooking two or three pounds at once and putting them away in pint jars until you wish to use them. Potatoes that are to be French fried should stand in cold water at least an hour before cooking. Macaroni and rice are best cooked in rapidly boiling water. When cooked in this way, they will not stick to the pan. Household Hints Always keep a small flashlight handy. You never know when you will have to look into dark places like the medicine chest, etc. The flashlight may save you mistakes, worry and labor. Flannels and blankets will keep soft and white and will not shrink if washed with a tablespoon of ammonia in the first water. A cupboard between the dining room and kitchen with doors on either side saves time and space. Instead of using twine or any other kind of string for hanging up brooms, mops, brushes and all kinds of kitchen utensils, use ordinary picture wire. It wears indefinitely, and, being stiff, will catch on hooks more easily than string. balls suitable in size to fill the centers of the fruits. Arrange on lettuce around the edge of a platter, pile mayonnaise in the center and garnish with cherries. Scalloped Tomatoes. One corn tomatoes, one minced onion, one bay leaf, two tablespoons sugar, six cloves, three slices bread, three tablespoons butter, salt and pepper. Cut the bread into cubes and cook in the butter until light brown. Mix the tomatoes with the seasoning and onion and place with the bread in a greased casserole. Bake in a hot oven—400 degrees. Fahrenheit—twenty minutes. Corned Beef Hash. Two cups chopped corned beef, two cups chopped boiled potatoes, one tablespoon minced onion, two tablepoons fat, salt and pepper. The beef and patates should be chopped fine, but not minced. Melt the fat in a heavy frying pan, add the other ingredients and stir over the fire until thoroughly mixed. Press the mixture down in the pan until it holds together and cook over a low fire until brown underneath. Shake occasionally to prevent sticking. Fold like an omelet and turn out on hot platter. Croached eggs may be served around the hash. Beauty Secrets By Mme. Sara Washington The face is the most useful portion of the body. It is the seat of most of the organs of sense, as well as those of expression. In the former, the sensations and sentiments have their birth; in the latter, by means of nerves, the blood vessels and muscles express their feelings and sentiments, either voluntarily by the expression called up by will, or unvoluntarily by change of color or by an unconscious mimicry. If the face is the open book of our sentiments, of our sensations, of our thoughts, or passions and our vices, of testimony and reveals the functional or organic troubles which affect the health One might say that the appearance of the face and its expression are the barometers of our moral and physical condition. Therefore, to avoid diseases of the face, to preserve what one is supposed to say, to hide defects or supply what is missing, the various cares of toilet and the question of cosmetics are to be seriously considered. Don't use cheap cosmetics. Don't irritate the face with allkali soaps. Keep the system clean. Keep the skin with water. Exercise in the open air daily. Enlist good wholesome food. Keep your face clean. Y.W.C.A. Notes The twenty-second anniversary of this branch of the Central Association is celebrated this month. In 1912 the various New York Associations formed a metropolitan organizations, and thus became an autonomous unit with one common board of directors. This branch was established in Sixty-third street, moving first to Fifty-third street, next to two houses in 132nd street, and finally to the present building in 157th street. In the summer of 1920 the first summer camp of the branch was organized.

In May, 1925, work was started on the new residence building, and in April of the following year the building was formally opened to the public. This building was put up at a cost of more than $275,000, and it represents the first residence hotel for colored women in the country. With the addition of this unit, the present branch now has a plant conservatively valued around a half million dollars. The work has grown from a budget of a few thousand dollars to a budget of $126,639.72 for last year, $107,182.30 coming from branch income. These figures are exclusive of residence or of camp figures and also of campaign contributions made by the community. This progress has been made possible only by the co-operation of the community and by the loyalty of the workers who have struggled during its twenty-two years of operation. The branch annual meeting will be held on Friday, January 28, at $30. The members' annual dinner will precede the meeting at seven o'clock. Tickets for the dinner must be secured from the information desk before January 26. At the meeting there will be brief reports of the work and a play "Alice in the Land." On the same date. January 23, the Education Department will present an exhibit of work done in its classes from 5 to 10 P. M. Those registering for the new term in the Day Secretarial School will be able to complete the course with the close of the summer session in August and will thus be prepared as efficient private secretaries. New courses are also beginning in the other classes. That Baby You've Longed For Mr. Burton Advises Women of Motherhood and Companionship. "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married women who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton, 256 Massachusetts, Kansas City, Ma.

One of our well-known educators has said: "If a child lives close enough to nature for the first fourteen years of his life, he will never-go astray." It is a broad statement and worthy of consideration. Not every child who lives in the country lives "close to nature" nor is this living impossible to the city child. All children should have their attention called to the natural wonders that are always within reach in some form or another. In the winter there are frost, snow, ice the leafless tree and the evergreen. These will give rise to many questions, the answers to which will furnish valuable insight into the workings of nature. Let child coax to his door with the folly bird and braid the folly little birds the cold to stay with us through the cold season; he will feel that he is helping to maintain life and he will be making worth-worth friends that will thank him with sincerity. Of course, a little country boy or one who lives in a small town has special opportunities. Winter offers him continuous inspiration and he can always find a place to enjoy himself freely and safely to his heart's content, giving happy and orderly outlet to his superfluous activity. Never- Weak, Nervous Tired Feeling Above is a picture of Mrs. Lena McCann, 709 Short 9th St. Birmingham, Ala. She says: "I was feeling bad, nervous and very weak. I did not rest well at night and did not have much appetite. I was thin and felt tired - all the time. I did not like going places. Life wasn't much pleasure. My mother law about my condition. She told me that Cardui had done much for her. I sent for Cardui right away, kept on taking it, and in a few weeks I felt stronger. I took on more weight, ate more, rested nights, and did not have the weak spells. I took 6 bottles in all. It sure helped me." Manufactured in the South and used by women for over 45 years.

Then the great expanses of white purity before him will give him an awd sense of the infinite wonders. The curious tracks in the snow may tempt him to follow a rabbit or a squirrel to its home and thereby learn of its mode of living in winter; to make daily visits to his door for nuts, if but coated the least bit with a sample nut. He may become even more interested in the birds in winter than in summer because of his close relation to them in feeding and caring for them. And perhaps the beautiful, bad blue jay will change his screech of "thief," thief to a song of the snow and sing "knee deep" the cocoon of a leafed tree tell the little country boy a story of transforming life going on in the perfect silken cradle. In doors, if he is ever forced to stay in, there is still something for him to study—tolles on the eaves, ice formations on the window pane, frost on cobwebs, in a sheltered corner of the window. At night he may be killed to slumber by the song of the wind in the chimney and happy and his wholesome and constructive channels he may sleep the sleep of contentment. Is he not laying a foundation for everything worth while in life? And the little city boy, since nature does not come to him as abundantly as she does to his country friend, must go in search of new wonders, and the wise mother will see that he does. Tramps in the park, through the snow or in the country at the end of a car line to look for winter birds, a moment's pause in a snowstorm to see the formation of the snowwakes on coat or mittens, the care of plants or bulbs or a canary in the apartment will help to develop in him the love of nature. The acquaintance of the snowfarmer is greatly to be desired, and a Saturday spent on his farm at regular intervals through the winter will mean more to the child than all the moving picture shows in the world. Infant Taken to Bellevue Remains Unidentified The three-months-old baby boy left at the home of Mrs. Bessie Daniel, 160 West 142nd street, and sent to the foundling ward in Bellevue Hospital last Wednesday, has not been claimed. Mrs. Daniel said the child was left by a woman who gave her name as Bertha Savage, who said she would return it. Several weeks went by, however, and the woman did not return. Mrs. Daniel notified the police of the 135th Street Station and a search was instituted.

Big Moments in Little Lives MARGARET CONN RHOADS TOO often the big moment in a small child's life is wholly overlooked, not even recognized many times, by the parents. These moments are very important and really need watching for. When Bobby was taken out for the first time on a star-lit night, he wondered at the glory of the heavens. In his early-to-bed regime he had never stood under a sky with twinkling stars and as he looked he marveled and suddenly tightening his grip on his mother's hand he said joyously: "Why, Mother, I fink I almost seed God." This was indeed a big moment. Fortunately for Bobby, he had a mother who understood, she knew that her child had visualized God in His power more than he had ever done in his baby life before. This moment needed her attention. Billy, who was a sadly wilful child and was always being checked or chided on account of some misdemeanor, quite unaccountably did an unusually kind, self-sacrifice act. When he realized that he had been responsible for this voluntary goodness, he said in great surprise: "Why, Murver, I don't all bad, is it? This was a big moment. in his life, and his mother, recognizing the truth of his statement, began at once take a different course in her training of Billy. Today Billy and she have found out that her small son has many more "goods" than "bads" and they are both enjoying the quest for them. Billy has to be punished only rarely now because in a moment when his own self awakened to his actions his mother awakened also. Little Betty, who sat upon the floor with a large family of dolls surrounding her, said with quiet decision, "I want to be real mother of real children some day. Mother." She wasn't laughed at nor told not to be thinking such silly things yet she was helped in her awakening moment. Taking her on her lap her mother told her that to be a mother was one of the most wonderful things on earth and that both she and Betty were already interested in just that thing. Then the mother told her that each day she would try to help her in the things that went to make for lovely motherhood. Can any parent afford to miss these moments?—moments when the soul of the child begins to be felt by itself; moments when some divine touch reaches the child and opens up the future pathway of life; moments that need the companionship of a true comrade.

Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 26, 1927 Mrs. Latimer in Charge of Negro History Department Mrs. Catherine A. Latimer, assistant branch reference librarian, in charge of the Division of Negro Literature and History of the 133th Street Branch Library, received her education in the elementary and high schools of Brooklyn and her college work and library training at Howard University, where she was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Mrs. Latimer, the daughter of Mrs. M. B. Trotman of Brooklyn, also spent two years abroad and attended schools in France, and Germany. She has taken several courses in the library school of the New York Public Library. Negro, and collected by Mr. Schomburg, who had inspiration, foresight, and ambition thirty-five years ago to start such a collection, is indeed fascinating and intriguing. Mrs. Latimer For the past seven and a half years she has been in library work, serving one year as assistant librarian at Tuskegee Institute Carnegie Library, and for six and a half years in the New York Public Library, where she was the first Negro woman to be appointed. The Reference Division of Negro Literature and History at 135th street branch, of which Mrs. Latmer is in charge, was established in 1925 through the efforts of Miss Ernestine Rose, 'branch librarian, who conceived the idea of having such a department. The Arthur A. Schomburg collection of rare books, documents, pamphlets, prints and manuscripts, a collection of about 5,000 books by and about the Negro over the world, was recently donated to this division by the Carnegie Corporation. It is probably the largest collection of Negro literature in the world.

He said that all the facts would be made public, but that it is possible that the State might interpret the alleged extravagance differently than the general public. In all cases he would be guided by the rulings of the attorney general Mr. Tracy said: "I hope some good will come of this investigation, as it will be unfortunate to say that Negroes cannot manage their own affairs."

Because of later evidence regarding the alleged gross extravagance of Mr. Bundy, he was not quizzed today. In a special interview with Auditor Tracy, the chairman of the finance committee of the House of Representatives, and officials of the Department of Education, the following facts were brought out: Mr. Tracy stated that Bundy, with his legal advisor, State Senator Roy C.

He further said that all recoveries and refunds for the alleged overcharging and extravagance would be demanded according to the ruling of the attorney general's office. It is current opinion around the State House that the findings of the examiners will mean the demise of the Bundy regime. Officials at the State House seem friendly to Wilberforce, but will act on any irregularities brought out in the hearing before Auditor Brown, or in the hearing before the finance committee. At the request of Mr. Bruseaux, the Board of Education is sending a committee to Wilberforce to ascertain its rating and will report its findings later. Capt.

Thomas, architect, 2 West Forty-sixth street, filed plans with the Manhattan Bureau of Buildings yesterday for another group of model tenement houses to relieve housing congestion in Harlem. The plans were filed in the name of the Empire Mortgage Company, representing John D. Rockefeller Jr. The plans call for the erection of two five and six-story apartments at Nos. 2502 and 2512 Eighth avenue, to cost $340,000. The buildings will be similar to the model Rockefeller apartments at 159th street and Mott avenue and will occupy a plot 217 by 162 feet. Rental rates to apply to the new structure, it is said, will be $7 to $9 per room. Mr. Thomas stated that so far no one had been authorized to accept deposits for apartments in Mr. Rockefeller's Harlem projects for colored people. The plans call for three, four and five-room apartments and the two buildings will be five and six stories. Like other of these projects they will form the Rockefeller unit, whose aim is to give the wage earner a comfortable home at a moderate rental.

Florida Howard and the Rev. Claudius Nero officiated. The Rev. B. T. Harvey of Trinity Baptist Church, Williamsbridge, offered a very earnest and consoling prayer.

Sergeant Wallace of the 369th Regiment and a squad of men escorted the body from the funeral parlors of Thomas Kirton to St. Jude's and from there to St. Michael's Cemetery. The military services at the church and also at the cemetery were most impressive, twenty-one shots being fired in salute over the body, after which the bucker blew taps. Dr. Johnson's body was brought to New York by his wife and children from Tuskegee, Ala., where he died January 15, after a long illness. For the past three years Dr. Johnson was associated with U. S.

GARRETT & RIDDICK COUNSELLORS AT LAW 2303 Seventh Ave., New York Open Evenings From 8 to 10 Telephone Bradhurst 5598 SECOND SECTION --- --- Close First Semester of Religious School The Community Training School for Religious Workers, under the joint auspices of Columbia University Extension and the Greater New York Federation of Churches, held at the Abysinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th street, made a record on its first semester's work, according to a report from headquarters to the federation. WASHENGTON, D. G. Objecting to the denominational and dominating influence of colored American missionaries, President King of Liberia, Africa, in a recent message, released through Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, Liberian Counsel General, declared that the control of foreign religious bodies must be withdrawn as well as their financial support from the churches in Liberia. It had an enrollment of 143 students, including Sunday school teachers, superintendents of Sunday schools, religious workers and others. This is the second largest of any of the eight centers held throughout Greater New York. The second semester, which is now open for new enrollments, and begins Monday evening, Jan. 31, will consist of a course for ten Monday nights. The subjects taught are: Child Psychology will be taught by Miss Emeline McIntyre of the Central Presbyterian Church; Principles of Teaching by Horatio S. Hill, A. M., B. D., director of religious education. Abyssinian Baptist Church; Old Testament Prophecy by Mrs. Edith F. Chase, teacher in church schools, Y. W. C. A. groups and Summer conferences. "Since we are supporting and maintaining our own Government," says President King, "we ought to be able to support and maintain our own churches. In fact, this is a duty and responsibility devolving upon us as a free, sovereign and independent people. No self-respecting, independent nation would desire otherwise." The Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop of St. Philip's Episcopal Church delivered the address at the registration meeting of the school, Monday evening. Jan. 24; at the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Although President King did not see the wisdom of excluding American missionaries until after he had signed the contract with the Firestone Rubber Company, it is the consensus of opinion that he has taken the proper step. With the vast and untouched natural resources of his country awaiting development, it is conceded that an industrial, rather than a spiritual, awakening is essential. Graduate Nurses to Hold Get-Together Service The second annual graduate nurses' GetTogether Service will be held at St. Philip's Church, 208 West 134th street, on Sunday, January 30, at 8 P. M.

The large sums of money that have been diverted to the work of "Christianizing" the natives of Liberia can now be advantageously, used for the stamping out of illiteracy among the members of our group in America. Some of this money could also be effectively used to finance a definite program that would reduce the high mortality rate of colored American citizens. Nurses are requested to come in graduate uniform, and to assemble at the church at 7:45 P. M. This service is sponsored by the North Harlem Red Cross Nurses, of which Mrs. Jeroline H. Winfield is chairman.

When a beautiful, temperamental, strongeque actress is married to a serious-minded, pedantic author, difficulties are more than likely divorce almost inevitable. But when into both marriages a posting, apostolical stage director invites, linking both couples in impending scandal, the tragedy of imminent lives is turned into comedy. Such as the complicated situation arrived at in Florence Vidor's new Paramount' starring picture, "The Popular Sin," which Malcolm St. Clair directed from Monta Bell's original screen story. (Clive Brook, Greta Nissen and Philip Strange are the featured players in this comedy of marriage and divorce laid against a background of Parisian stage and society life, coming to the Lincoln on Tuesday. Many "triangle" stories have found their way to the screen, but Miss Vidor's vehicle is the first that has ever been described in a "triple triangle" story. In "The Popular Sin" with only six principals, there are three distinct situations in which two men love one woman or two women love one man. There is, to be sure, one man whom Miss Vidor really loves, but when she meets him she is married to another. Divorce results, and she is happily remarried. But another woman enters her husband's life, and a second divorce ensues. How she finally rewins the man after his second divorce provides the climax of one of the most engaging sophisticated comedies that has yet reached the screen.

AT ALL DRUG AND DEPARTMENT STORIES AND MUSE AS "DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE" Fess Williams to Be Welcomed at the Savoy Robert Jones ```markdown ``` Manager Shapiro of the New Douglas Theatre Last Week Increased Mr. Jones' Salary and Made Him Assistant Manager at the Douglas. "The Blonde Saint" Coming Without a hobbed haired flapper, a cabaret, jazz band or a taxicab, "The Blonde Saint" is proving the belief of Sam E. Rork, the producer, that the public is fed up with so-called "1926 jazz" photoplaya. "The Blonde Saint," a romantic adventure with Lewis Stone and Doris Kenyon, will be at the Douglas Theatre, and critics agree that both Mr. Stone and Miss Kenyon have proven themselves real stars of the screen in portraying difficult roles. Mr. Stone is cast as Sebastian Maure, a novelist, and Miss Kenyon is Anne Bellamy, whose Puritan ideas on life in general have earned her the nickname of "The Blonde Saint." Interwoven in the romantic adventure of the novelist and the Blonde Saint is the love affair of Fannia and Anibale, the young Stichians, on "The Isle of Life." Just off the coast of Sicily, Fannia is Ann Rork and Gilbert Roland in Anibale. Italian gardens, Sicilian fishing village, a mountain village and the ruins of a pagan temple are the principal scenes.

Thursday and Friday, January 27 and 28, Cortine Griffin in "Syncoping Sue" will be the feature picture. Comedy and romance are beautifully combined in this picture, making it an exceptionally fine attraction. By popular demand the management has arranged for the presenting on one day, Saturday, January 29, of that sterling classic of the screen, "The Four Horsemen." Admitted at its first presentation an epic, that picture remains today one of the best productions ever offered on the screen. It is expected that hundreds will see it again Saturday at the Renaissance Theatre. Sunday and Monday, January 30- 31, Conrad Nagel and Edith Roberts in "There You Are" will be the attraction. Here is another one of those semi-serious pictures that produce a smile and a tear. The acting of the two stars is at its best in "There You Are." See all these excellent pictures at your favorite theatre. The Savoy Starts Something New Again Eleven Hours of Dancing Every Sunday Without a Stop at Popular Hall We believe the dancing Harlem will take to the Saroy Ballroom's new Sunday policy like a duck takes to water. Instead of running an afternoon and an evening performance separately on Sundays, the management of the Saroy announces that it will open its doors each Sunday at 3 p.m. and continue until two in the morning without a stop. This makes eleven hours of dancing in one day in one place continuously, which we believe breaks the world's record. Furthermore, three orchestras will furnish the music each Sunday instead of two, and we mean three real orchestras, probably the greatest trio of bands that ever appeared under one roof at one time anywhere in the country. Fess Williams and his new Royal Flush Orchestra is number one, alternating with Charlie Johnson and his orchestra, followed by Leon Abbey and his Savoy Bluesicians. The price of admission remains the same as before. If you arrive at the Savoy before six in the evening it only costs you sixty cents and you can remain all day and night without paying any more. If you go there in the evening you pay eighty-five cents, just as always before. The Savoy Chinese-American restaurant is prepared to serve you with meals at prices as reasonable as anywhere in town. You really should attend the Savoy on Sundays. You certainly will get your money's worth. TEACHING PIANO, VIOLIN, MANDOLIN, CORNET, TUBA, HORN, TROMBONE, CLARINET, SAXOPHONE, BARITONE, VOICE CULTURE.

While there are those boasting of the subordinate "position," which could more aptly be termed "job," not since the day of Lester A. Walton have we seen a Negro man with full authority 'at one of our' theatres. But recently Manager Shapiro of the New Douglas Theatre gave out a statement to the effect that Robert Jones has been installed assistant manager at the Douglas, which is at least the first step in a direction which a community of more than two hundred thousand Negroes would naturally receive with new encouragement, as somewhere around there must be at least two or three colored men with ability to hold such a position. No, we have not forgotten the Renaissance. In saying those things which we know are for the benefit of men and women of the race to which we belong there are those who see in our attitude a tendency to unjust and unfair agitation. If seeking those things which all other races have sought can be considered as such, the writer entertains an unholly fear that dire things will happen to him, but he is so constituted he finds it impossible to pursue a course which has never brought any results in the dim past. We must, therefore, congratulate Manager Shapiro for recognizing us to the point where he is willing to give us a chance to hold an outstanding position at a theatre dependent upon Negroes for its existence. Without those real opportunities we can never rise; so, rentamen, when you point to those joys which common-sense dictates Negroes should occupy, we smile, and then smile some more.

The best of the white teams are seen in action at the local casino every Sunday night, and since the colored champions have been able to maintain the long string of stories of which they are the proud possessors, it should be surprising that Gotham is proud of the support it eyes the Renaissance.

"Pappy" Ricks, who has been sitting in a very poor game in sticks, turned loose some of most brilliant shooting, caging baskets, closely followed by Jenkins, who contributed six field goals.

REFUSE TO DROP NEGROES REFUSE TO DROP NEGROES So School Has Been Barred From Cumberland Valley Athletic League MARTINSBURG. W. Va., Jan. 24.—The Chambersburg, Pa., high school has been dropped from the Cumberland Valley Athletic League because Chambersburg refused to sign a resolution to bar colored players from league games, it was announced here today. High schools of Martinsburg, Winchester. Va. Hagerstown, Md., and Waynesboro, Pa., are members of the league. The action followed cancellation by Martinsburg, Hagerstown and Waynesboro of football games scheduled with Chambersburg last season after the latter school refused to keep a colored halfback out of the line-up. Chambersburg later cancelled a game scheduled with Winchester. Charlestown, W. Va., filed application for membership in the league to replace Chambersburg, but action was deferred.

SPECIALIST IN EXTRACTIONS AND SURGERY Modern Dental Work In All Its Branches at Reasonable Fees Plates Repaired While You Wait "BUBBER" IS A MIGHTY MAN For He Led Defensive Drive That Ended in Victory for His Mates BY THOMAS W. YOUNG. Colorful visions of titular honors —probably a sectional championship—which had stimulated the Y. M. D. outfit to quickened action in the Y. M. C. A. gym Saturday night, gradually faded into vague mists whose phantom-like figures hovered above and haunted the home team as the Young Stars. Philadelphia amateur champions, spurted into a big and apparently victorious lead, leaving the Y. M. D. team on the smaller half of a 15 to 9 score at the end of the first half. That was the first half. But there was another period, and there was "Bubber" Reese. Twenty minutes with Reese, the "Bubber." brought about a different story from the one expected. It was he who led the offensive drive for the erstwhile under dogs, bringing: 31-28 victory; it was he who strongly supported their defense; and it was he who unloaded six field goals and two free throws for a total of 14 points and the highest scoring honors of the evening. This performance together with the keen guarding and shooting of Jefferies, who deposited a couple each of shots and free throws, and a substitute, Raynor, who let fly two baskets from the field, was the chief determining point in the downfall of the Quakers. The losers played stellar defensive ball, and if they had made good only one-third of their futile tries at the basket they would have been far in the front at the end. Miller and Shields, both very good shots, each made three baskets and three foul tries. Keyes, a guard, played a brilliant defensive game, and besides collected a couple of baskets. Ed (Himself) Smith was great on breaking up opponents' passes, and jumped with telling results in center. Having amassed a comfortable lead, the Young Stars decided to give the two subs a work out. A determined drive by the "Y" boys soon brought the score up to 15-14 still in favor of the visitors before a few minutes of the second half had gone. Reese started his mates on to the victory that was theirs when he shot and went into a 16-15 lead. THE BOXING FIGHTER This Popular Little Fighter Made Quite an Impression in Europe by Winning All of His Fights. Thereafter the spirit of victory was indomitable. The other contributors to this crucial victory were Captain Riley, "Waldoff" Raynor, Jefferies and Adams. A battery of shots by the sturdy Y. M.

Jack McVey HARLEM FIVE IN GREAT VICTORY Score 36-24 Win Over Conquerors of Renaissance Five — To Meet Pelham Fire Dept. This Week Harlem's newest professional entry, the Harlem Big Five, scored one of the most sensational victories of the current season, last Sunday night, when they traveled over to Astoria and trounced the famous Long Island Professionals to the tune of 36-24. The Long Island team, who two weeks ago played the Original Celtics an extra five minute period before the world's champions were able to win out by a two point margin, and holds two victories over the Renaissance Big Five, trailed the Harlemites from start to finish. Tucker Waddell, "Specks" Moton, and "Stretch" Grant displayed a brand of ball that had the fans on their feet throughout the entire forty minutes, and carried many of the Long Island rooters to their side. Basket after basket was rung up by the Harlem team, surprising such players as Luderman, Knudman, Roxbury, Wittmer and Johnson, comprising the home team, the same bunch who started and finished against the Celtics. Before the game the Long Island Professionals were overwhelming favorites, thereby underrating the colored boys, whose stock has jumped 100 per cent overnight. They have seemed to reach their stride and every Wednesday night sensational games are in store for the fans against the leading white teams. Wednesday night of this week they will meet the undefeated Pelham Fire Department of Pelham, New York, at the Renaissance Casino, while in the preliminary game the champion Buffaloes will take the court against the Royal Buccaneers. Last Wednesday night at the Casino, the Harlem Big Five turned in a 48-21 victory over the Silent Separates, while in the first game the Buffaloes and the Newark Student Council engaged in a spirited game, the former winning by a score of 35-28. 1897 1927 The 30th Anniversary Of the White Rose Industrial Association, Inc.

Dougherty King Jones in From Chicago to Welcome "Fess" Williams Famous Band Leader Will Get Tremendous Reception on Return to the Savoy Next Friday night, January 28, will witness the return engagement of Harlem's most popular orchestra, headed by that king of personality, "Fess" Williams, who returns to the Savoy Ballroom for a two-year engagement with an augmented orchestra of ten men, said by leading stars of the theatrical world to be the hottest band of its kind in the world. With the return of Williams to "the world's finest ballroom," a new series of elaborate features are about to be launched, all of which insure a perfect evening's entertainment for the nominal admission charged. Hundreds of Harlemites are preparing now to attend the opening of Fess Williams' new band to learn for themselves what a marvelous band it is. The Savoy has engaged that famous Chicago master of ceremonies. King Jones, one of the greatest laugh provokers on the continent, to clown and fool around during the evening. Those of you who know King Jones need no introduction to this remarkable humorist, but if you have never seen him, go Friday night and be prepared to laugh your head off. In Chicago, when they announce King Jones as the attraction, the "Standing Room Only" sign goes up every time. On display at the Savoy Ballroom now are various telegrams received from such famous people as Paul Whiteman. Al Jolson, Clarence Williams, Vincent Lopez, Ben Bernie, Irving Berlin and others raving about Fess Williams' new band which, during the past two weeks, has been playing various engagements in and around Broadway. Following the return of this orchestra leader to the Savoy, Leon Abbey brings his Savoy "Bluesicians" there for an extended run, also on the night before Lincoln's Birthday, Friday night, Feb. 11. This band will thrill you and convince you that the world's finest music can be found every night. Saturday and Sunday afternoon at the Savoy. The Savoy is up on its toes again. A thousand and one features are in preparation to amuse its hordes of admirers. On the night before Washington's Birthday the "Jungle Bathing Beauty Ball" occurs amidst a glorious bevy of trees and foliage as a background for beautiful bathing beauty girls. Then in March comes the much talked of Masque and Costume Ball, "The South Sea Isle Ball." In between these glowing occasions the nightly attractions include "Clown Night" on Tuesday night of each week, when the Savoy gang goes entirely crazy with stunts and capers that have you rolling on the floor with mirth, followed by the Thursday night frolic, at which time the popular vaudeville stars of the town are presented, with a new show every week. All in all, it looks like a big season at the Savoy. It starts with the return of Fess Williams next Friday night, when a smashing, crashing celebration will usher in the newest era of fun to one of the world's finest ballrooms.

Kline piled into the colored boxer early, and although Thomas rallied in the later rounds, Kline had him beaten on points before the last round started. Both boys weighed in at 128 pounds. In another special bout, George Armstrong, out of the Salem-Creencents, knocked out Tom Fay in two minutes and forty-five seconds in the second round of a scheduled three-round bout.

Reased on that night of the thousands, white and black, which came to pay tribute to one of the noblest sons of fistiana, | was, however, .gurprised to ace the sad spectacle of an Intelligent’ Harvard’ graduate permitting himself to be bur lesqued and made to appear as supreme clown and office hun- ory.cymnast with the introduction: “Your own Alderman Har Fis” Every Intelligent human being knows that while loose practice In certain quarters permits such Inconslatencies as colonel or other military titles to be appliewso ratired officers, that the practice which prevails even under Wloose social usage does not permit titles which grew out of political and elective offices to be applied without the prefix “ex.” And even If the foregging ware not the cage It would appear that the personal senalsivences of the individual, Unicas he were «deleted by cengor-—would compel him, even where flattery wera Intended, 2, decline the title which ‘grow out of an office which he no fonger held. For however one might expect the vanity of the untutored to lead him Into a comical situation bordering on to the ridieu- lous, one has the right to expect a man who has been exposed to the brand of education and training which still remain the proud boast of the white Harvard men to have some balanced dea of the fitness, of things. But one might forgive even a Harvard graduate for making—deleted by censor—of himself: but when that one would make—deletad by censor—of the pes by imposing upon its decency, under circumstances where It cannot resent it. this Is too much. Particular reference is made to the fact that the “orator of the evening.” when introducing Sam Langford, sald: “While Langford Is Black, he has the whitest heart of any man who ever entered the ring.” Now, any savage knows that there never wag a white nor a black heart in the body of any animal, living or dead. Ary ploughman knows that the color of the hoart of any animal ( chocolate-brown. Any average ignoramus knoves that the human being is no exception tor this, peyaicn chemico condition as regards the heart of any animal in a liv. ing state. Any average “hanky-headed” colored ‘man, knows that this matter of white and black hearts Is an anclent bogey ‘which the white man. with the assistance of the English Ian: guage, has employed to deride Negroes and other nonwhite Begpie by suagesting that black must represent all of the low and mean qualities. This expression from the “orator of the evening” was @ direct Insult to thé racial saif-respect of the colored people who were present. This phrase when used by white people Is always Intended to express excellence of moral conduct, and since they are white they seek to. express. all qualltles of excellence in terms of thelr own color. Perhaps the speaker for the moment, under the stress of excitement, forgot the color of his skin! If this wae the case then he lacks the kind of mental balance which is essential to the position of alderman, and thereby demonstrated his general unfitness for the position which he so ravenously seeks to be alderman ‘from the district where there are large numbers of colored folk. Then, too, It was surprising to hear the “orator of the evening” mention the names of every onc who was connectod with the benefit in an active manner and to realize that the man Alvin Moses, who was the first to suggest the benefis, nd was the man who performed all the hard work which Was The fonrround opener hatweer Canuda Lee and Izzy Grove. former amateur rivals, was a hurrivane Rerap. with: Lee coming out ahear by a slight margin.

LOFTON BROOKLYN is, perhaps, Negroes can be found over section thereof. We use even though Brooklyn is one that go to make up the City it is the largest of the five, 2,03,991, while the Borough hence Brooklyn can be rightful ber it is officially estimated over 50,000. In 1920 there has been estimated that the c at the rate of five per cent a gration of the colored man shortly after the ending of the alleged to have reached its affect Brooklyn, the increase each year. BROOKLYN is, perhaps, the only city in America where Negroes can be found owning property and living in every section thereof. We use the term city advisedly, for even though Brooklyn is only one of the five boroughs that go to make up the City of New York, at this writing it is the largest of the five, for it has a total population of 2,003,991, while the Borough of Manhattan has 1,945,029; hence Brooklyn can be rightfully called a city. Of this number it is officially estimated that the colored population is over 50,000. In 1920 there were 33,403 Negroes here. It has been estimatad that the colored population has increased at the rate of five per cent a year. The much heralded migration of the colored man and woman from the South, shortly after the ending of the World War, and which is alleged to have reached its peak four years ago, did not affect Brooklyn, the increase in population being the same each year. While this opportunity to purchase property and live unmolested in practically every section of the United States, it has been claimed that the so-called better class of Negroes a chance to rear their children in healthy and wholesome surroundings, it has been claimed that race consciousness to patronize competent colored professional men, especially physicians, dentists and undertakers, but there is a number of white physicians, dentists and undertakers who thrive in any one community to support their very actions indicate that they do not want to serve them. An analysis of the figures on Negroes over 21 years old in the twenty-three Assembly Districts in Brooklyn show that there are five Assembly District; 417 in the 2d; 189 in the 2d; 800 in the 4th; 1,868 in the 5th; 667 in the 6th; 1,251 in the 8th; 3,488 in the 10th; 381 in the 17th; 452 in the 18th; 468 in the 21st; 535 in the 22d; 1,081 in the 22d. Hence he is not the determining factor in any one district such as Negroes are in Harlem or Chicago. There are twenty-two churches in Brooklyn. The Baptists lead with eight. The A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion connections have seven churches. The Protestant Episcopal church, the Congregational, one Congregational, one Presbyterian, one Wesleyan and one M. E. church, and a host of missions. The historic Bridge Street A. M. E. church in Brooklyn, having been organized in 1815. During slavery time it was noted as an "underground railway station, that is, a station where the South would find succor and were sided in escaping their own. This church, of which the Rev. Edward E. Tyler is the present president, is worth over $150,000. Concord Baptist; Church of which the Rev. James B. Adams is the present pastor, the old and oldest church in Brooklyn. It was organized in 1847 by members of Assyrian Baptist Church in Manhattan. It has the distinction of being the oldest church in Brooklyn having assets of over $400,000. The church proper is valued at $300,000; the church house at $25,000 and other property at $75,000. It has a colored church in Brooklyn, having over 2,100 members. Beresa Baptist Church, of which the Rev. A. Olivier pastor, the outgoing member of 1851 and the outgoing member of white and colored men meeting and discussing religious questions prior to Emancipation. It has over 900 members. Other churches are; Ralph Avenue A. E. M. Zion, which was formed in 1873. Under the leadership of the present pastor, the Rev. Kenny Frost. Former membership of over 800, and recently purchased a new church for $17,500. Fleet Street, of which the Rev. Warren Frost pastor was engaged in 1835. It has over 4,100 members and has assets of over $125,000. The value of the 22 churches is estimated at $120,000. A number of monuments which have a total value of $200,000. A study of the figures on the attendance and the seating capacities of the 23 churches, that the total revenue paddy of the $2 churches is 12,568, and the average attendance is 6,384. This makes it a self-evident fact that the total revenue in eight goes to church and only fifty per cent of those who attend church contribute in a substantial words the support of the churches. The Negroes in Brooklyn, having enjoyed a large measure of freedom since 1845, early learned the value of education and housing and in study of the figures there are more Negroes owning homes per thousand than in any other community in the North. In 1845 there were 10,000 men and women who control private homes, apartment and tenement houses to the extent of $10,000,000. From 1920 to 1925 colored men and women were 4,010. Federal income taxes increased from 3,240 to 4,507. They are becoming more thrifty if bank accruals were made, guide, for in 1920 there were 4,010 people with accounts in the various savings banks and trust companies, and in 1925 there were over 6,500 of the colored population that are not point to a single theatre or movie house owned, controlled, or operated for Negroes. Neither the bank nor the other commercial enterprises any magnitude conducted by colored men and women. FOURTEEN Brooklyn Office: 868 Fulton Street.

Of this num- d that the colored population is were 33,403 Negroes here. It colored population has increased a year. The much heralded mi- n and woman from the South. of the World War, and which is is peak four years ago, did not use in population being the same barbers, hairdressers, undertakers, physicians, dentists, and small resta- taurant owners. In this day and time one would think that all Negroes had sufficient race consciousness to patronize competent colored professional artists and undertakers, but there are a number of white physicians, dentists and undertakers who thrive on colored people even though their very actions indicate that that group is not the only one. When one questions some of the colored men and women they dismiss you with the remark that they have nothing for a Negro who do despite the fact that that man is not a black person, by the proper authorities in this State, and it is a known fact that when a man or woman has been permitted to practice in the State, he must be accepted fact that he must be compelled for this State's examinations are known to be the most rigid in the nation. An interesting sideline to all of this is that investigation of physicians and dentists have a large clientele among white people, so while they cannot please all of their own they can at least please the white man and woman. there is quite a number of men engaged in moving business. There are two outstanding examples of hard work in this line and the use of up-to-date business methods in this parish business. Both firms do a large amount of work that comes from white people. One firm, Intech, Inc., has recently purchased a modern fireproof storage warehouse. This is the first in the history of Brooklyn that a colored concern has done this. In welfare and social work the city has institutions to be proud of. There is the Home for Aged People, which is now practically the only institution some years ago white people were the chief supporters. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are among the best appointed in the city, the moral, civic and industrial life of the colored people here, especially those of the younger generation. The local branch of the Urban League and the Lincoln Settlement are welfare work and do much to reclaim wayward boys and girls. Politically, and from a civic standpoint, the Negroes are a non-native group described to his not living together in a trifect, for he is not of sufficient political strength to cause his white brother much worry. Even in the Y. T. Assembly District, where the Negroes are colored, whom are colored, and over 5,000 are eligible to vote, only 2,500 enrol, and about seventy per cent vote. These 5,000 Negroes are the means of power in this district, but will not be represented in maries where their leaders and candidates are chosen. Even with the 2,500 voting they have been the means of electing one of the Negroes in the Assembly in Brooklyn each year, but have received no reward. This possibly is due to lack of competent leadership. This rule allude to the fact that so-called leaders are so busy trying to kill each other politically that the white man secures all of the Negroes while the Negroes are fighting there is not one outstanding position that the Republican Negroes can point to despite the fact that the 5,500 in Brooklyn eligible to vote. There are a few Negro Democrats, they can state that there is a Negro Assistant District Attorney and quite a few others holding minor political appointments. Fraternally the Negro is quite strong. It is estimated that there are over 2,000 men and women in the Negro Hall; 700 men and women in the Oddfellows; 800 in the Knights of Pythias, and 2,500 Elks and Daughter Elks. The Elks, though the younger of the fraternal orders, are more greater progress in the line of real estate holdings. This is due possibly to the fact that there is but one lodge in Brooklyn, while the fraternalizations have several lodges here. Brooklyn Lodge No. 23 controls over $50,000 worth of real estate. The Oddfellows, through a holding Brooklyn United Friends Society trole $23,000 worth of property and the Masons control $12,000. All of the organizations have very good bank accounts, which are on depreciation, and they bury the dead. They get about four in a half per cent, while the banks The election of Gilbert was the only contest, all the other officers being unanimously re-elected, including Mrs. Louise M. Fayerweather, who was elected vice-president. This office makes Mrs. Fayerweather co-leader of the county, and county leader of the women. Mr. Wibecan was given a rising vote of thanks for the manner in which he conducted the election, and his long years of service to the race and the party. He cited instances where members of the race were discriminated against in the civil service, and stated that with a united front this organization could help to remedy these conditions. Mr. Gilbert, in thankking the organization, pledged himself to work at all times for the advancement of the race and the Republican party. Mr. Gilbert is one of Brooklyn's best known and wealthiest citizens. He is active in Y. M. C. a welfare, church and other work. For years he was registrar of the National Negro Business League and was a close friend of the late Booker T. Washington. He lives at 15 Donglass street. The other officers chose were: Charles T.

At the next meeting plans will be discussed for a public installation. use it and average about ten per cent. After evening comes Brooklyn figuratively goes good sleep, for there are no neighbors to big city auxiliaries to might life. This possibly is the cause of the very low percentage of crime among the Negroes in this city, for there are no laborers and other industrial, commercial, institutional lines. The nearest approach to an advocate for our people in Brooklyn is the Amsterdam News, which it receives greater support in square deal for him along civil lines. In this wilderness of indifference and lack of sympathy for our hopes and aspirations, and will be able to arouse a greater degree of race consciousness and cause the race of racial solidarity, for even 50,000 ants working together at one and the same time are more effective than 50,000 working in different directions.

Storage Shipping But Not Even a Prince When Taken From Confines of Myrtle Ave. Four colored men were arrested after a light with detectives last Saturday night in an illuminated shade at the center of 258 and street, where detectives seized a package which they said contained more than $1000 worth of heroin. One of the quartet, Jessia Moore, 41, lives at the Gold street address, is known to the police as king of the "Black Belt." He bore the same title in Pittsburgh until he left there two months ago, the police said. Moore was charged with selling narcotics. The other three, all arrested on charges of acting in concert with Moore, were Louis Hogan, 20, of 51 Fleet street; Matthew Williams, 23, of 226 East 22d street; Manhattan, and Felix Kenny, 22, of 223 Myrtle avenue. Detectives working under Deputy Chief Inspector Michael' Lyons have been trying for two months to break up a drug ring in the belt, which runs from Myrtle avenue to the South of Myrtle avenue extension south on Myrtle avenue to Navy street, spreading out in a narrow strin on both sides. Their investigations led them to the Gold street shack. Early last Saturday night led Jacob Sayler, with Detectives Geary, Brown, Sasek and Nismond surrounded the shack and hid themselves. Presently Moore and four other colored men entered the building. Through the window, according to the police, one of the detectives door, lined with unidentified man a package and receive money in exchange for it. "Go get 'em, boys!" Lident Sayler shouted. Detectives crashed through the door and Geary climbed through a rear window. Someone smashed the light. In the fight that followed in the darkened room one man escaped. A detective standing in the doorway fired a shot in the air to patrolman Neasbauer. Shortly after he arrived another light was turned on and police lined up their prisoners. A large package, found in a corner of the room, contained more than 200 vials, presumably containing heroin. The prisoners were held at the Popular street station.

St. Augustine Easily Defeats Oakley Big Five Playing their initial home court game, the popular St. "A" team easily trumped the Oakley Big Five of East Orange last Thursday by the score of 26-12. Although a runaway game for the home team, the fans were unusually happy, applauding sensational shots urged by different members of the local team with career outfits of handcaddys. The visitors, led by Eddie Hinda, former Brooklynite, put up a fairly good opposition, but the strong St. "A" outfit outplayed them in all parts of the game. Coach "Brown" presented his usual combination of Capt. "Sloum" McChammy, "Melon" Grosvenor, "Charley" Conley, "Dell" Boone, "Cain" Ward, "Monk" Boxill and "Tiny" Trotman to the enthusiastic Sunday School basketball throng.

Boulin in his turn was severely scored by Mrs. Hunter's lawyer, charging that the raid had been a frame-up. Three months passed, during which Hunter would often brag of his victory. Then one day the Harvard student—we will call him Baker—was asked to call at a certain office. Presently Boulin walked in and, after a few unsuspecting remarks, he shot at Baker: "Where do you prefer going, Harvard or Sing Sing?" Baker was indignant, but quickly cooled down when Boulin presented him a time card from the Grand Central Station, showing where, on the night in question, he had punched in for his usual duties of Red Cap, and that, instead of playing with cards, he was playing with baggage. Seeing the torn matters had taken, Baker promptly confessed that he had signed the paper for Hunter "just as a friend," hardly paying any attention to what it was all about. He hardly signed another affidavit, repudiating the first. The Harvard graduate also made a similar confession. It having developed that he was in Atlantic City that night, while the mechanic, hearing of it, left for parts unknown, and is still missing. Through the influence of friends the Harvard man escaped a perjury charge. The notary who had signed the false affidavit had a narrow escape, too. It developed that Hunter was a friend of him, and that Hunter, after securing the other three signatures, had brought him the affidavit, and he had carelessly signed it. As to Hunter, he also left for parts unknown, while his alimony bill is running up like a taxi meter. NOTHER VERSUS DAUGHTER. This is the story of a daughter who wanted her mother committed to an Irene asylum for a reason which will develop. NEGRO years have but emphasized the demand. The latter inadequacy of existing agencies and organizations, working as they do independently and often at cross-purposes, makes some mode of unification imperative. Notwithstanding certain special accomplishments, the race on the whole is steadily losing ground. The interests of twelve million Negroes are sacrificed by default. All because the present generation of leaders have not evinced the requisite ability or conservation to wisely and efficiently administer the vast estate of racial welfare committed to its charge. This is a terrific indictment against the Negro intelligence; but it is no more terrific than the plain facts make necessary. Why is it, one might ask, that twelve million Negroes, to whom has been vouchsafed every right by the Constitution, have been divided of a plaything? Plainly enough, it is because the requisite political sagacity has not been forthcoming. Will anyone say that the Negro's political estate has been wisely and efficiently managed? Are we doing the best we can we are we but reaping the fruits of selfishness, cowardice and sloth? Will anyone stand up in it's place and say that the Negro is incapable of availing himself of his political proximate more effectively than he has done or is doing? The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 26, 1927 AS TOLD TO J. A. ROGERS One day this daughter, whom we will call Mrs. Jones, called at the Boulin offices, saying that her mother was insane and that she wanted evidence to present to the court that she was unmanageable. Her mother, she said, had been ill treating her (Mrs. Jones) two children, burning their fingers, etc., all of which had forced her to leave the flat in which the mother, whom we will call Mrs. Simms, was. Mrs. Simms, she further alleged, had been in the insane any- lum once and belonged to a certain religious cult, known for its utter doings. sane asylum, for obvious a HOW STYLES WERE COPIED. Even so strange a ma safeguard the latest ladies' dresses enters the of a detective's duties, as lowing story will show. Some years ago a well department store discover a rival firm would bring the same time it did the for which it had a speed truct with a manufacturer we will call Bernstein & C. These styles would be in cheaper goods by the rial sold at a lower price, thu One by one, Boulin had three of his detectives report on Mrs. Simma, who was almost seventy years of age. Each, in turn, declared that, apart from her religious observations, Mrs. Simma seemed quite sane, and was anything but violent. Getting impatient, Mrs. Jones finally approached one of the detectives and offered him fifty dollars to swear that her mother was insane. The detective promptly reported to Boulin, who then abandoned the case. But Mrs. Jones reported the matter to the authorities, declaring that Boulin had cheated her, and she wanted her money Back. Finally Boulin was called to answer charges in the office of the Comptroller. Without denying the charges he asked Mrs. Jones: How long is it since you have been out of Central ILP? Whereupon Mrs. Jones finally admitted that she had spent several months there herself as an inmate in that insane institution. But that was not all. Literally, there was some method in the madness of Mrs. Jones. Two years before her mother had been run over by a truck and a settlement for a large sum was soon to be made. Mrs. Jones, it developed, had made arrangements to have herself appointed her mother's guardian after the old lady had been sent to the in- SANHED By KELLY MILLER The N. A. A. C.

Specific accomplishments are commendable; but the curve is steadily pointing downward. and fostered by ship have been and effective. It is more effective Rights League, have precisely t and platform. Not a single generic evil at which they aim has been seriously affected. Jim-Crow cars, disfranchisement, segregation, separate schools, and anti-intermarriage regulations are stronger entrenched in public favor than they ever have been before. The response of the race to these appeals has been ridiculously feeble. Is this the best that the race can do? Or is it possible, by united assault to make these iniquitous foundations grumble? The Urban League and the F. M. C. A. are doing their quantum of good in their specific fields, but they do not scratch the surface of racial life and needs. The interracial conferences are moving nibly along the lines of limited service. All these agencies are functioning in some sort of fashion, and yet we are not saved. The demand for an all-race council is so obvious that a war-faring man, even though a fool, cannot but see the wisdom thereof. This council or organization must be of Negro conception, initiative and support. Up to the present time all such movements have been short-lived, or linger to function feebly and imperfectly. On the other hand, those movements that have been founded the auspices of the Elizabeth n. The choir, with whom sat in the training and study of clarity and sureness, made solo work of Miss Elizabeth Francis J. Minton, baritone, vice and finish. were enthusiastically applauded. The last group was entirely of folk anthems, including "Swing Low, Sweet Charleston" "Don't Be Weary, Traveler," "Til Never Turn Back No More," and Barleigh's arrangement of "Deep River." Through it all the genius of Dr. Dotz was apparent. From the happy choosing of the early church hymn, entailing an enormous amount of research and arrangement for his purpose, to the closing numbers, his choir sang as one. The attack was without a voice hearing, while the release was so that the sibilants ceased together on the instant. The swell and diminish was sane asylum, for obvious reasons. HOW STYLES WERE COPIED. Even so strange a matter as safeguarding the latest styles of ladies' dresses enters the sphere of a detective's duties, as the following story will show. Some years ago a well-known department store discovered that a rival firm would bring out at the same time it did the styles for which it had a special contract with a manufacturing firm we will call Bernstein & Co. These styles would be made up in cheaper goods by the rival and sold at a lower price, thus doing serious damage to the business of the department store. The manager immediately called up Bernstein and wrathfully charged him with breach of contract, which Bernstein strenuously denied. Bernstein had had the wryles designed exclusively for him by a firm in Paris, and he, in turn, charged this firm with breach of contract, which it also denied. Finally Bernstein suspected that some of the employees must have been selling the patterns and called in Boulm. Of these employees all were white, save three colored ones, one of which was the shipping clerk and the others porter. The white employees were the suspected ones, and they were watched for several months, without success. It seemed impossible that the colored ones could have had anything to do with it, but finally the detectives were set on their trail, also with no apparent success. One fact the detectives discovered, however, was that the shipping clerk, whom we will call Jenkins, was living in a style far above the twenty-five dollars a week he was getting. Further, that Mrs. Jenkins wasn't sharing in those luxuries, either. Suspicion was now centered on him, and one day the detectives followed him as he left the factory with a package. They saw and fostered by white overlordship have been more permanent and effective. The N. A. A. C. P. is more effective than the Equal Rights League, although they have precisely the same program and platform, simply because the former, up to now, has been under white general overseeing, while the latter has striven to sail its own steam. In the Urban League, the Y. M. C. A., and the Inter-Racial Conferences, white men have been good enough and generous enough to work with Negroes for Negroes. They have furnished the principles of procedure as well as the simues of war. All honor to them. We still need much more of such vicarious fostering. May their good work continue and their true increase. But the handwriting is plainly legible on the wall. In all such movements they must decrease; we must increase. The white man has done for us the best which he is calculated to do. The one thing most needed to be done he is wholly incapable of effecting. His very fostering help serves to defeat the emergence of a race consciousness, from which alone can spring efficient racial relief. Without the race consciousness which has the stubbornness and strength to hold these scattered fragmentary elements to a fixed objective and persistent procedure, all of our efforts and good deeds will be but vanity and veneration of spirit. This is the fundamental aim with perfect graduation, and the eighty voices at times barely whispered. Dr. Dett carried his chair onto ground formerly considered unattended to Negro chorus work. That the same feeling and the same quality that have made the spirituals when sung by Negroes popular may be carried over into the entire range of musical composition was demonstrated at this concert under Dr. Dett's leadership. That this concert begins a new era and reaches a high-water mark in musical achievement is attested to by musical critics in the press comments. The Washington Times said: "We made a discovery about music in America last Friday evening when R. Nathaniel Dett, foremost among Negro composers, brought his famous choir from Hampton Institute, Virginia, to sing for the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation in the chamber music auditorium of the Library of Congress." Writing of "Oh. Hear the Lamsa a-Crying," this critic says: "One could have want EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS him enter a post office, place the package on a desk and begin writing. Soon after another man entered with another package and, placing it beside Jenkins', also wrote for a short while, after which he walked off with the wrong package. Following this man, the detective traced him to another factory owned by a man we will call Morris. Some weeks later one of the trusted female employees and the head cutter of the establishment were asked to remain to do some work after hours. Facing them, Bernstein accused them of the theft, which they forbly denied. Then they were told of certain checks they had been receiving and the dates, as well as what had been learned from Jenkins, whereupon both confessed. After tracing the man to the Morris factory, the detectives discovered in time that the firm had been making out checks to the Bernstein head cutter, after which the cause for the mysteries exchange of packages became clear. The dress would be taken to the Morris factory, where it would be quickly copied and returned to Jenkins. Morris, it developed, used to work for Bernstein and was also related to him by marriage. At that time there was no law against this sort of thing in the state, and all escaped with loss of their jobs. Jenkins, who is prominent in church circles, had a tall time explaining to his wife what had become of the proceeds of the graft. Fact is stranger than fiction, and to Negroes, the great majority of whom are as dead to their possibilities as a group as if they were living on Mars, this story will sound even stranger. Some twelve years ago the nephew of one of America's richest men married a nurse-girl in the employ of his aunt. We will call uncle and nephew the Chap- of the Negro Sanbedrin. No other foundation can be laid than that which has been laid. The race must needs come to it, whether it be the next year, the next decade or the next century. Are we now ready for it, or must we wait for a more propitious period? Three years ago I thought that the time was ripe. I laid down the foundation and called the initial meeting in the city of Chicago. The meeting met with more than anticipated success. My basic principles were approved with scarcely the dotting of an "T" or the crossing of a "t". There seemed to be good prospects of its immediate fruition. Why, then, it is reasonably asked, did the movement not continue to move? 1. There was a lack of funds. Voluntary subscriptions were sufficient to defray the preliminary expenses of the first meeting, with a small surplus which is still in the hands of the treasurer, Prof. John R. Hawkins. There was no adequate provision to secure a meeting of the executive committee, who lived in widely distant cities. There was no provision for adequate office force and clerk hire. The necessities of the movement required the full time of a highly qualified man and annual hire of not less than four thousand dollars. The whites could not be appealed to, as in case of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Urban League or the Y. M. with the sadness of it, with the pathos of the voices. But more than the heart of it, there was a choral accent, a sort of syncopation, in the rich body of the various choirs, that created a new sort of illusion of disturbed emotion. It was one of those fundamental things that are hard to describe. It proved that Dr. Dott has given an arrangement for voices here that requires high choral art to attain, and these were school children. . . . America is rich in a fundamental thing when such art can be produced by the youth among us. The visit of the Hampton Institute choir writes a page of musical history of which we are instantly proud." The Evening Star, Washington said: "America has shown complete welcome to the splendid English singers and warm appreciation of the splendid work of that fine organization. The Dayton Westminster (their) work of the Hampton Institute Chair is on an equal level for the simplicity that art makes seems natural in choral work Cupid, Politics and Negro Politicians and a Rich Old Senator Make Strange Bedfellows, but Revenge Made Them All Lie Down Together Lack of Funds, Distressing Condition at Howard University, Existing Organizations Are Given as Some Contributory Causes of Failure mans. Now, at first glance, Cupid and politics would seem to have nothing in common, and to bring in the Negro on top of that seems absurd. But wait: The Chapman family, one of the most exclusive in America, at once turned its thumbs down on the nursemaid, making her feel in every way that she didn't, and simply couldn't, belong. In vain the younger Chapman pleaded for his wife. His uncle was the most unrelenting of all. Finally chapman decided on revenge. His uncle had been in the United States Senate so long that he seemed a fixture there. Chapman decided to get him out, regardless of cost, and being a multi-millionaire himself, began to groom a dark horse to beat him. As the election approached it was clear that things were going against Senator Chapman. Strangest of all was the conduct of the Negroes, who at every election used to swing into the Chapman ranks almost without urging. Old Senator Chapman simply couldn't understand it all and called in Boulin. The State in question is a Northern one, with a large colored population, which holds the balance of political power in its hands. The sentiment in that State is strongly Southern. Senator Chapman, needless to say, was a Republican, and was in the Senate perhaps solely for the honor of being there. Calling on the old Senator, Boulin found him a pitiful figure. VIVUS Lack of Funds, Dis Howard University zations Are Contributor C. A. This would defeat the spirit of the movement. No organisation will carry itself, nor can it operate with purely voluntary service. 2. Very distressing conditions developed within Howard University, which engrossed much of the energies of the promoter of the Negro Sanhedrin to combat. 3. Existing organizations, more or less conscious of their self-sufficiency, followed the Negro Sanhedrin, an Peter followed the Saviour—afar off. There was not that whole-hearted proffer of assistance and support on part of many, who failed to fully understand that the Sanhedrin was not come to destroy their function, but to fulfill. 4. I immediately found that so great a project could not be promoted as a duty, but it must be made a business. It is absolutely necessary to employ men of the comprehension and breadth in its finest form." The Washington Times-Herald said: "The audience signified by an unproar of applause their approbation, and Director Dett led the young men and young women through four encases. Dr. Dett, whose conducting is reminiscent of Stokowski's work, showed himself still the same fine musician who won first honors in a class of 1,000 at Oberlin Conservatory for two of his four programmed compositions." In an editorial the Union Star, Brookfield, Va. called attention to the singers themselves: "The attentive attitude and natural modesty of these young people added materially to the effectiveness of their performance. Not a single act on the part of a single singer during the two hours the choir was on the stage made the slightest far upon the most sensitive musical temperament in the large audience. Evidently the long training for such singing had wrought a refining influence and because the refinement of with tears in his eyes at the prospect of being crowned from the post he had held so long. Among the things he wanted Boulin to find out was who was financing the campaign of his opponent, who was a comparatively poor man, and also the nature of the speeches. Posting as a writer of magazine articles, Boulin went to live in the capital of the state, and finally succeeded in getting quarters in one of the clubhouses that had been built for the Negroes by the opposition. This clubhouse was one of several given the colored folk in the state. Money, he found, was being freely spent. Negro politicians and many preschers were wasting fat. The same was true of the white ones. Citizens, colored and white, who had never taken an interest in politics before, were up to the neck in it now. The goose seemed cooked for old Chapman. Finally Boulin succeeded in planting a dictograph in the colored headquarters, and that was the end of it. The conversations registered by the machine revealed all. One highly interesting detail of this was that some of the colored politicians had been getting money from both sides. Faced with the facts and threatened with a Settorial investigation, young Chapman promptly withdrew his support, the opposition was left high and dry, and the old man got back his Settorial post in a walk. Pressing Condition at day, Existing Organi- viven as Some y Causes of Nure of James Weldon Johnson, Bengene Kinckle Jones, C. H. Tobias and George H. Haynes to do the work that needed to be done. White man have rendered a great service by showing us how our own racial affairs must be managed. There was no such provision; therefore the movement did not move. 5. I am personally willing to take to myself all of the blame which anyone may be disposed to impute. The apparent future stands greatly to the discredit of my personal sagacity to safeguard all of these unforeseen contingencies. But now what of the future? Suppose I should fully enface myself. The foundation remains awaiting the apertureature. Is there sufficient state-management in the race to take hold of the work and carry it on and carry it up? The hour of the Negro Sanhedrin Redivivus is at hand. Shall it be revived? (Who says so?) music was deeply felt by the singers, its expressive produced a like effect upon the audience. The expressive sweetness and harmony were carried to many homes as a most fitting Christmas experience." Wallington Adama, in the Washington Tribune, goes on to say: "Strictly speaking, the affair was distinctive in that, for the first time, colored singers were accorded the honor of an appearance in a strictly certified program of music." THEATRE ARTS TO EXHIBIT SCULPTURE The Theatre Arts, Inc. announces an exhibition of Primitive African Sculpture to be held in New York City from Feb. 7 to March 5.

Pot of Gold Still Sought Near Baltimore BALTIMORE, Jan. 24.—Life in a house two centuries and s quarter old, with an iron chest full of gold popularly believed to be buried on the premises, ix not all romance— im fact, it $8 downright annoying. Miss Janet Ball. « white woman, lives in such 2 house on the ont- akirte of Baltimore. In 1771 an ancestor fitted together its hewn oak beams and raised its sun-brick walls, In the elghteeuth century, for Uo generations, it passed from control of her family, and Jean Champlaigne, French royalist, mer- chant prince and refugee, inhabit. ed it and planted both the gold and the annoyance. Legend nara that when Jean Jearned one night that bis fleet had heen ewept from the seas dy privateers. he rushed into the snow and buried $50.00, the re mains of bis fortune, in an fron chest, Colored laborers, gypsies, “sorcerere” and prowlers in gen. eral have never giren up hope of finding it, Minn Batt ta called by the police on an average of once 2 month to ball ont someone arrested for dig- cing up her front yard, “Wa alware do, of course.” abe said, “because the Negroes. har- nk Rrown up {n the traditions of bg State, are wubject to a tempta- on that ix too xreat for them. Someone in dixxing about the pluce most of the time, with and without permission.” The old homestead wan built by Robert Teale on a rant of 10.000 acres given to Edwin Dor- ey In 1650 by Tort Cromwell.

Schom, whose collection of rare books of Negro was purchased by the Carne Corporation, presented to the New Public Library, and is now housed in the West 135th street branch, with many volumes may be perused, studied by the reading public. HARLEM'S ACQUISITION of this remarkable library means that the Negro does not have to remain in ignorance of the culture his forbears evince, many lands before and since his migration — a culture as brilliant as any people. The future historian the Negro who does not avail himself of the use of the Schomburg collection cannot be taken seriously. Out of should grow more stories of "Unheroes" to inspire the youth of race.

Liberia Expels Missionaries FOLLOWING closely in the foots. President Calles, of Mexico, President King, of Liberia, has also decided give "that good old-time religionate." In a message to the Liberian congress, the Chief Executive of West African republic says: FOLLOWING closely in the footsteps of President Calles, of Mexico, President King, of Liberia, has also decided to give "that good old-time religion the gate." In a message to the Liberian Congress, the Chief Executive of the West African republic says: "Every nation, like every individual, must know God for itself and not for another. As a people we Liberians are most appreciative of the religious guidance and assistance we have received from our foreign spiritual directors and teachers, and recognize the measurable benefits which have accrued to us therefrom; but the hour has arrived for Liberia's spiritual freedom and religious independence. The control of foreign religious bodies must be withdrawn, as well as their financial support, from the churches in Liberia." ALMOST from the beginning, in 1881, when the Colonization Society local the colony, missionaries have had and in its development—such as that has been — and President King's move, which indicates the desire of Maria to "know God for itself and for another," and expresses apprec ALMOST from the beginning, in 1821, when the Colonization Society located the colony, missionaries have had a hand in its development—such as there has been — and President King's message, which indicates the desire of Liberia to "know God for itself and not for another," and expresses appreciation. EDITORIAL PAGE tion for the assistance already given the republic, at the same time stamps the work of these missionaries as deficient in its ability to render the kind of assistance it needs most. LIBERIA seems to be trying to find herself and the present move may not be one of retrogression. Our interpretation of Christianity has been derived wholly from the white race — an interpretation which willingly lent itself to the subjugation of the Negro peoples, and which, even now, does little to remove the injustices from which they suffer throughout the world. Unwarranted Murder WHEN EX-PATROLMAN Joseph A. Iliggins comes up for sentence before Judge Mancuso in General Sessions Court, we do not know what mitigating circumstances will be offered in his behalf setting forth reasons why he should not receive the full penalty of the law for his crime-fifteen years in State's prison. HIGGINS' OFFENSE was particularly reprehensible. While patrolling his beat in Central Park he, for some unknown reason, accosted Clinton de Forrest and beat him so unmercifully that he died a few days later in the hospital. Not only did he fail to arrest the man and take him to a police station or hospital; not only did he fail to make a report to his superior officer of the encounter, but he denied that he even had an encounter when he was first questioned, after passersby had reported to the Arsenal station that they saw an officer brutally beating a man in the park. BUT WE REPEAT that we do not know the extenuating circumstances Higgins will offer for an unwarranted murder. The patrolman was white. His victim was colored. The crime was committed in New York State—a Northern state. He was tried and found guilty by a jury of manslaughter in the second degree. We await the penalty Judge Mancuso will impose upon him. A SEVENTY-YEAR-OLD Bulgarian went on a rampage a few weeks ago and before his anger was appeased he killed five of his wives. The agonizing cries of the women were heard outside the harem, but none dared interfere because of the SANCTITY accorded another man's home. There will be no prosecution. Strange world, isn't it? IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS, we are informed by a special despatch to the New York World. Governor John G. Richards. of South Carolina, made no reference to the Aiken lynchings last October. Again, we ask The World what remedy would it suggest as a cure for lynching, when a state's chief executive is not concerned about it? WE ARE TOLD that in Tibet each time a criminal is convicted he loses a part of his body. The first offense, the culprit may lose a hand; the second a foot; the third an eye. If such a practice had been in vogue in the United States for the past ten years, many criminals would have nothing left by now but a countenance. JOHN W. VANDERCOOK, says Lester A. Walton, denies the existence of cannibalism in the Republic of Liberia. Maybe it exists only in the brains of Sunday newspaper editors and feature writers for Hearst newspapers. BRISTOL, in the southwest of England, was the great haven of the merchant ships and shippers who traded in African slaves. The Wood Cliff House, on "Constitution Hill," where I stayed, was one of the great mansions of these slave traders, built two hundred years ago. Today it has many marks of its ancient masters: gun racks over the ample mantels, "hound gates" at the foot of the broad stairway, to keep the hunting dogs, which must have been much in the house, from going upstairs, great wide halls and rooms, and vast gardens. Bristol is on the Avon (not the "Little Avon" on which Shakespeare's home is) and is really about five miles from the sea, but many ships come up the Avon with the tides, while the bigger ships unload at Avonmouth, the real seaport of Bristol. A great "riverside drive," costing four million dollars, extends along the Avon from Bristol to its port. Driving along, one passes the ancient docks of the Roman galleys, the great Roman masonry still standing as testimony to the solid work of those who mastered British under the Caesars of the early Christian centuries. Many Roman coins have been found about these crumbling docks. At Avonmouth a great white fruit ship was just in from the West Indies and was unloading bananas and grapefruit and oranges—several crumlins of fruit. The British islands seem to feed mostly on the rest of the world, and one seem little vegetables on the average British table, but plenty of meat and many fruits. The fruits are less delicious than those we get in the United States, for, with weeks of ocean travel ahead, they have to start with very green fruits from the far West. The present population in Bristol seems as interested in the defense of freedom and equality as the slave-trading population was in defense of slavery. Slavery was the source of vast wealth in Bristol, and even the preachers defended it in the usual way, by finding Bible texts that supported slavery. "THE GARDEN CITIES." My next two meetings were in the Garden Cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, near London—called Garden Cities because each residence in them must have a garden, and there can be only a small number of dwellings to the acre. These cities were laid out and planned in every way, even as to shopping districts and public building plots. They are beautiful cities, but the enforced maintenance of big lawns, flower gardens and long hedges is a burden to some of the poorer inhabitants, who cannot keep many servants. HINDU NATIONALISM. On one of my last days in my December visit in Britain I was invited to the "Union of Indian Students." It has a membership of about six hundred, and two hundred and fifty appeared at lunch that day. They worship their native culture in this "union." I noticed that even the white women servants wore an Indian headaddress, to be more in harmony with the general atmosphere of the place. There are students from every part of India, and the menu is Indian, with choicest of "English" dishes. The pictures on the walls depict Indian religion, legend and culture. Nearly one hundred per cent of these students return to India. I was told. This center of life will, therefore, have a vast influence on the future of India. We can feel "nationalism" in the air. They are suspicious, as are some American Negroes, who any white Englishman comes to them in a friendly approach; they think he must have some trick up his sleeves. This is unfortunate—suspicion is a barrier—and there are always some white people who are as sincere as any people can be in this world. For sixteen or seventeen days they worked me as hard in England as I ever worked in the States: in that time I count up forty-one meetings and conferences, mostly meetings of the "forum" type, where, after the address, there followed a half-hour or more of questions, answers, and sometimes discussions from members of the audiences. Usually the chairman had to stop the meetings by request. The English are far less prejudiced along racial lines than are the Americans. Slavery spoiled the American, as oppression in South Africa is spoiling the transplanted Englishman there. There are many people in BOOK REVIEW BY DRUSILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON.

NOT so many years ago the fashion was, and, alas! it still is, to sneer when the term "Negro History" was mentioned. All but a comparatively few believed that the only worth-while history of the Negro began about 1619, and that prior to that date he was roaming the African jungles, a savage and a cannibal of the worst type. T the "color bar" spirit of South England who do not agree with Africa—but the Union of South Africa has the control of its own local affairs, as has Canada. But the great INFLUENCE of the English can modify the policy in any part of the British Empire, if that influence is aroused and directed. THE QUAKERS. Undoubtedly the most wonderful little group of people in all the British Empire today are the Friends, as they so properly call themselves. They are true patriots, but also true to their principles of human relationship. They will work and go to jail and die for their country, but will not kill anybody else for it. That seems like, a strange attitude to the present world, but will be a simple principle in the not so distant future. Science has made the world too small a community of interests for men to be willing to kill other men BOOK I By DRUSILLA DUNJEE HOUSE sal Publishing Co., Oklahoma C NOT so many years ago it still is, to sneer when was mentioned. All I believed that the only worth-began about 1610, and that roaming the African jungles, the worst type. But it is becoming increasingly evident that black peoples, known in our day as Negroes, did make history—history the equal of any other race—and that if their modern descendants do not know about their achievements, it is not their fault, but that of those descendants. White writers like Count de Volney, Weisgerber, Prof. Chamberlain and Lady Lugard have long pointed out the important part the Negro played in ancient history. And now an increasing number of Negro writers are following in their wake, the latest of these being Mrs. Drusilla Dumjee Houston, whose interesting articles on Negro history will be recalled by the readers of colored newspapers of a year or two ago. There seems little doubt any more, after the researches of so great an archaeologist as Sir Arthur Evans, and of anthropologists like Van Luschan and others, that Ethiopia once ruled the then known world precisely as did later Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Rome, her territory stretching along the Perian Gulf as far as India, and her people penetrating as far as northern Europe, Oceanica and America. Starting with prehistoric times Mrs. Houston showed how "the African seems to have passed directly to the use of metals without intermediate steps" unlike the Europeans and other peoples, who had their Stone Age—a statement that might be questioned, since the alleged fact that "no rude stone tools of the first barbaric inhabitants of Africa" have been found, so far, is no proof that none will yet be discovered. Nevertheless, it does appear, as Mrs. Houston says, that the Ethiopian, black-skinned and woody-haired race, gave to the world "the three significant factors of progress in the life of man: the hearth, the altar, the force." Dealing further with ancient Ethiopia, the author has shown, among other things, how the inhabitants tamed animals, originated their own worship of Deity, had a rich literature of their own and how Egypt was civilized from Ethiopia, leaving the features of her rulers on the Egyptian monuments. Coming next to Egypt, Mrs. Houston shows how Ethiopia and Egypt were linked as one by the Bible and by ancient writers. Like Homer, Eschylus and Sirabo: how the Egyptian God, Amen-Ra, was the Cush of the Scriptures, and how Egypt after her "golden age" declined as did LETTERS on any other part of the earth. There is nothing wild or fanatical about these Quakers. They are the coolest, sinest, most hard-working people. They are only a small group, but they have just built in London's great quadrangle of offices for the conduct of their world service and their home services. They call this simply "The Friends House." In co-operation with American Quakers they maintain centers of service (not of proselytism) in many European cities, including Russia. This "house" of the English Quakers will have as great an influence on the future of human relationships as a certain house in Downing Street. "MARBLE ARCH." London has an institution which it would pay any large city to imitate: a special place for outdoor speaking, where anyone, without permit, can go and get on his soap-box and talk to his heart's content, on any day, and especially on Sundays. Those, therefore, who want to listen may go there, and those who don't may stay away. And everybody is satisfied; the steam is blown off here, freely and unhindered. Sometimes a "Fascist" may be speaking right next to a Communist, or an atheist may have his crowd next to a crowd listening to a Catholic. In the open spaces at the Marble Arch anybody may tell "his" unhindered by police or anybody else. This is very shrewd. of the English. It is the best way ever invented to keep trouble within bounds. When most people have fully expressed themselves, they are "through." To prevent or hinder their expression is to make their little pots boll. They may all talk it out at the Marble Arch, and those who do not care to hear it can go to—everywhere else. REVIEW BISTON. Published by the Univer- city, Okla. Pages. $00.

After relating the story of "The Mighty Pharaohs," some of whom were full-featured Ethiopians, and others like Ashmeles Nefertari and Ramases II being what are today called mullattoes, the author goes on to trace the history of the Ethiopian Empire in Arabia, Chaldea, Persia, Babylon and India, advancing a theory which is more and more being accepted, namely, that the Dravidians, who number today some sixty million souls, and who seem to have laid the foundation of Indian culture second to none the world so far knows of, were of Negro or Negroid descent. A French archaeologist, Laplaque, in an article in the Bulletin of the Society of Anthropology entitled "The Negroes of Asia," pointed this out in 1906, with many others still antedating him. "Even the name Hindu is Ethiopian," says Mrs. Houston. "Ancient records of authority made Hind and Sind, sons of Cush Philostratus in Vit. Apollon (Book II) says: 'The Indians are the wisest of mankind. The Ethiopians are a colony of them, and they inherit the wisdom of their fathers.' The separation of India from the parent Cushite stock was in ages long before the rise of the so-called Aryans in India." The older Greeks always associated the sacred waves of the Indian Sea with the wonderful Ethiopians. Ephorus stated that they occupied all the southern coasts of Asia and Africa. As in Chaldea they brought to the aboriginal tribes of India the knowledge of metals to take the place of stone implements, they brought the knowledge of the arts. The funeral remains all over India reveal the stone circles and upright massive menhirs of North Africa. Before Megathenes, a Greek ambassador to the court of the non-Aryan, Chandra Gupta, about 300 B. C, the Greeks mentioned as Indi only the Cushites of the area between the Hindu Kush and Persia. "The name India means black, and Condor thinks that it was employed only to designate the home of the Asiatic." All of which shows a tremendous amount of research on the part of Mrs. Houston, and some of which this reviewer must admit is new to him.

Of Aztec civilization in Mexico she says: "We study the peculiar culture and genius of the fierce Aztec, who acknowledged that he received the germs of civilization from the earlier Cushite inhabitants. We pass southward and examine the higher development of the wonderful Mayas of North America, whose ruins are attracting special study today, and we find there transplanted the Cushite arts of the ancient world.

When Miss Wiggins' work is read, one is conscious of the fact that the poems are the result of changing moods, that they grow out of varying life experiences, that here is a human being who has successfully bitten the dust, lived in sackcloth and ashes, and at other times lived on the mountain tops. And it is from the clear and invigorating altitude of the topmost peaks that Miss Wiggins has done her best work. The author comes nearer to greatness in what might be called the true poems: when she steps outside the field of racial life and the religious themes: "I can sing a cheerful lay— Sing of lovers happy, gay— I am grieving, I am crying." that will thrill. I can make this old world smile. And forget its cares awhile. And I will." Here is not only good versification, but also absolutely good poetic writing. This reviewer feels, however, that Miss Wiggin's has done her best work in the sonnet, "What Is Love?" in the lines: I asked a mountain, standing firm and proud. "Ah me, I know not?" still he kissed a cloud. I asked the wild waves as they kissed the shore. "Tis something strange" they sighed, with gentler roar. Here there is proper metrical set-up and a great deal more. There is a gentle imagery, some philosophical insight and the eternal delving into one of the great mysteries of all life. The folk poems are in dialect. They are both humorous and of a somewhat tragic nature. They are a real chapter in Miss Wiggs' life, a human document. Then there are religious speculations. This is to be expected, for it seems that religion is inevitably the refuge of all persons and groups that have had the experiences that have been the lot of this young woman. Miss Wiggins should keep going. She has found her true field. It is suggested, though, that she give more attention to the lyric and the sonnet. In this form she may yet do something really great, distinctive, and that will some day be among the classics. Know New York State Nineteen hundred and twenty-seven brings two important anniversaries to New York State. One hundred and fifty years ago, 1777, the Battle of Saratoga was won by the Colonists, and in April of the same year New York adopted its first State Constitution. New York State in twenty-five presidential elections, beginning in 1828, has 21 times voted for the successful candidate and only four times backed the loser. The unsuccessful candidates were Fremont, Seymour, Tilden and Hughes. More gloves are made each year in Gloversville and Johnstown than in all the rest of the country. Four thousand electric motors drive sewing machines in the homes of the glove makers. New York State has more deaths by automobiles than any other. The 1925 total was 2,223. Of these nearly half, or 1,066, occurred in New York City. They included the killing of 408 children. New York State inheritance taxes aggregate about 22 million dollars a year. Of this sum more than half is collected in New York City and nearly three-fourths in the metropolitan district. civilizations. The book has at least one defect. There are too many landatory adjectives, which give to the scholar the appearance of the author's being carried away with her enthusiasm, but which makes it all the more interesting to the average reader. Since this book was written mostly from the researches of others, moreover, much of it may or may not be true. Who knows? It is impossible to envisage history as a whole, each writer depicting what he sees. Hence, this book is about as sound as most other histories. The photographs from the ancient monuments, moreover, will go far to convince. Anyway, the book makes mighty in interesting reading, gripping the realer's attent from the start.
