MRS. SISSLE FREED The Nordic Hodge Podge THE Nordic "Hodge Podge" of modernism has become a seething caldron of social unrest and financial prowess. Calm Nero of Rome would be a square peg in a round hole if he were present today witnessing the social earthquakes that now abound. Aside from prosperity and wealth, modern Nordicism boasts of florid varieties of "moonshine" civilization, which American Negroes might well note before engaging in the heyday sport of imitation. For instance, we have with us today—or, rather, they have with them—such grotesque spectacles as the sullied legal disorders of "beaches" and "daddy" Browning, the one an avaridous malden whose muses were conceived as a substitute for gold-digging instrumentalities; the other a "pin cushion" for senile dementia. Next, "Red" Moran prepares for the thrill which he will soon receive at the hands of New York State, through the instrumentality of the law and its obedient servant, the Sing Electric chair. "Red" didn't do much to offend his group. He merely "bumped off" two healthy policemen who were trying to protect society from itself. The hundred or more lusty swimmers, after trenting their greased bodies with spirits of turpentine, point their weary feet homeward from Catalina Island, to which they tried to swim for a cool twenty-five thousand dollars. The muscles of those blinky swimmers could have planted enough Irish potatoes in the time they spent in the cold Pacific Ocean to have fed for one month all the orphans in Suffolk County Children's Home. But, then, you know, American sportsmen are the gamest in the whole world; and what's a paltry twenty-five thousand plunks when used to appease the Nordic desire for real sport. "The Drug," a sex play, which the Nordies themselves admit would make Ellinor Glyn ask to have every remaining copy of "Three Weeks" destroyed because of its drilliness, opens up to Nordic audiences in Bridgeport, Coun. who stormed the theatre doors in early forenoon lost the seats might not last. (It made the Nordies forget that Griffith ever produced "The Birth of a Nation.") Well, jazz musicians may have their nights, but jazz plays surely have their unattitudes. And, lost we forget, in the meanwhile, nine pages of the Congressional Record of January 29, 1927, became filled with a lecture upon the science of surgery, as applied to the absorbing processes of transplanting monkey glands. The same space could have been devoted to helping the World War veterans secure prompt loans upon their bonus certificates; but, then, no one would have been much interested in such an ordinary dissertation. Thus, Nordic tastes and their satiating absorbents march onward or backward; but we're forced to admit that, during the process, the Nordies still retain enough fore sight (or hindsight) to suppress the struggling black folks of the world. WOMAN CATCHES HAND IN SUBWAY DOOR In attempting to board a northbound subway train at 135th street and Lenox avenue, Saturday night, it is said that Mrs. Ehdel Davis, 86, 2109 Dean street, Brooklyn, had her left hand caught in the door and several fingers broken. The screams of Mrs. Davis are said to have alarmed the passengers of the train and considerable excitement ensued. After being attended by Dr. Cohen of Harlem Hospital she was removed to her home.

She was in company of Mrs. Mabel Douglass, 125 West 138th street, and Mrs. Dertha Jordan, 252 Seventh avenue. All were in the best of spirits, laughing, talking and joking. While walking south on Seventh avenue and about ten paces from the corner of 133th street, at the Renaissance building, Mrs. Green is said to have thrown her hands high in the air and screamed "Help me, help me!" She was rushed into the Renaissance drug store where first aid was administered. In the meantime John S. Green, her husband, was summoned. The stricken woman was placed in a taxi and rushed to Harlem Hospital where upon arrival a few minutes later she was pronounced dead. Impressive funeral services were held at the Mother Zion Church.

Johnson Of "New York's Finest" Alert Negro Cops Catch 3 Suspects Patrolmen Johnson and Lee Display Rare Judgment in Making Arrest The "spirit de corps" of New York's Police Department was never better displayed than one night last week when two Negro members of the fore, who by their alertness, trapped a trio of burglars, an accomplishment of which they can very well feel proud of. Patrolmen John A. Johnson and Paul H. Lee, while on duty in the vicinity of 133rd street and Lenox avenue saw three men stop an automobile and from their actions decided they were suspicious characters. With drawn revolvers they pouenced on the men and after questioning them found that the trunk had cleaned out a tailor shop and had the goods in the car with them. When arraigned they gave the names of James Darling, 2523 Elighth avenue; Clarence Williams, 334 W. Fifty-third street; Leo Dowdy, 16-12 West 123th street. A woman by the name of Adele Selly was also taken into custody charged with knowing something about the robberies involved in the catch. Miss Selly also lives at 10-12 W. 139th street. White patrolmen are frequently promoted to second grade detective when their actions are commendatory, but seldom is the recognition given the Negro policemen in the service.

Feb. 7 Arthur Bunn. 40. known as "Catfish" Bunn, was shot and killed Sunday by police who besieged him in an old house at 54 Benson street. Bunn, who was wanted for shooting Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, in Mahwah. N. J., last Thursday, had boasted that he would never be taken alive.

Feb. 7. After deliberating for eighteen hours, a jury brought in a verdict last Tuesday of $3,750 in the breach of promise suit against Joseph V. Boinay, wealthy white Lexington automobile dealer, in East Cambridge Court, in favor of Miss Daisy Turner, his former maid. Miss Turner sued for $25,000 for breach of promise, $10,000 for a search of her home brought about by Bolnay and $1,500 for damages for a charge of larceny brought against her. Verdicts for Bolnay were returned in the suits for $10,000 and $1,500. After the verdict, Miss Turner said: "I have been vindicated. The damages would never satisfy the heartaches he caused me. He knew so well the love I bore for him. I suffered untold tortures through his unfaithfulness." The case had been on trial for more than a week.

The victim was George Masters, 22, 1422 32d street, Washington, D.C. Fully 1,000 persons had gathered about the stricken man within five minutes before he could be removed to the hospital. Appearance of a large real estate sign on a semi-detached brick house on Eighty-ninth street, Queens, reading: "This property for sale to colored people only," does not seem to irritate the residents in that fashionable section. The property is owned by Herman Turan, a white policeman, who is not satisfied with the offers that have been made to him for it. It is nothing but a blind. "Then why the sign reading: 'For sale to colored people only''" "Oh, that was just to attract attention," said the policeman. "Ordinary means of disposing of my house having failed. I thought I'd put up a sign that would make em sit up and take notice." 22 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections EVIDENCE SECURED BY PRIVATE DETECTIVES INVOLVES SEVERAL IN "HIGH SOCIETY" IN UNDERWORLD SCANDALS Trial Reveals Alleged Shortcomings of Well Known Harlem Physician Fur Coat Theft and Other Robberies Also Involved Complete vindication for Mrs. Noble Sissle, 211 West 145th street, wife of the creator of "Shuffle Along," resulted from a rehearing of her case before Judges Caldwell, Kelly and Nolan in Special Sessions Monday. Mrs. Sissle had been accused of the theft of $40, the property of Miss Mattie Fleming, formerly of this city. Following this were other sensational disclosures. Boulin detectives, hired by Mrs. Sissle's lawyers, ran across what is said to be an organized theft ring. In a raid on an apartment in Wheatley Court on 141st street on January 29, Urich Browne was arrested by Detective Crosby and goods valued at $25,000 were recovered. In the apartment at the time, according to the police and detectives, were two of the principal accusers of Mrs. Sissle, namely.

Mrs. Florence Simmons, 122 West 129th street, caught her husband, George Edwards Simmons, who sings in the choir of Salem M. E. Church, whom she married December 12, 1912, at Stamford, Conn., Saturday night, with Mrs. Nancy Cogswill, a prominent dressmaker, in her apartment at No. 10 West 118th street. Mrs. Simmons was with the raiding party, it is claimed. Through her attorney the wife plans to bring an action for divorce and alimony. Spaniard Tries to Rape White Girl Intercepted, He Leaps to Death From Fifth Floor Floor Falling in his attempt to rape 16-year-old Emily Krattinger, white, yesterday morning, Alberto Cavero, 30, Spanish, leaped to instant death from a fifth floor bathroom window at 101 West 118th street. Cavero, a lodger in the Krattinger home, thought he and the girl were alone in the apartment, since Mrs. Krattinger is sick in a hospital. However, James Trophy, another lodger in the same apartment, had been laid off from work. It was he who ran to Emily's rescue when she screamed for help. Fearing that he would be caught, Cavero, a former captain in the Peruvian army, jumped. He had been in America only three months.

At the same time dispatches from Chicago say that Miss Fleming, who gave her New York address as 137 West 137th street, was also arrested charged with disposing of stolen goods in that city. DIVORCE ACTION MAY FOLLOW. Further, the trail of the Boulin detectives in search of evidence for Mrs. Sissle is said to have run across the matrimonial shortcomings of a well-known Harlem physician, which might end in sensational divorce proceedings. The factors leading to the acquittal of Mrs. Sissle were the contradictory evidence of the two principal witnesses, Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Trott, and the evidence of a handwriting expert, Aaron R. Lewis, who testified that the signature on a receipt said to have been given to Mrs. Holocy by Mrs. Sissle was not Mrs. Sissle's handwriting. Acting as character witnesses for Mrs. Sissle were Col. Little, formerly of the Fifteenth regiment, and Capt. Maban. Her attorneys were George Z. Medallie, 120 Broadway, assisted by Edward L. Kaplan. PLAINTIFF'S TESTIMONY. According to Mrs. Holsey, the plaintiff, Mrs. Sissle had received, for the $40, which had been owing to Miss Fleming, whose married name is Cashin. This sum, it is charged, had been paid over to Mrs. Sissle by Mrs. Murphy, the former, it is alleged, signing the name of Miss Fleming to the receipt. HISTORY OF CASE. This case, it is said, was brought about as follows: In July of last year Miss Fleming decided to give up her flat, and the Sissles, who lived in the same building, asked Miss Fleming to let them have it. Miss Fleming also disposed of the furnishings, a baby grand piano to Mrs. Sissle, various bits of furniture to others, including Mrs. Turner Layton, and items costing $40 to Mrs. Holsey. Mrs. Sissle moved into the flat on July 29. Mrs. Holsey, it is said, owed Miss $2.88 WORTH MORE Men's High and Low Shoes On Sale at Both Ladies' Newest Spring Style Martin Shoe Stores 343 Lenox Ave. — 458 Lenox Ave. BET. 127th AND 128th STS. BET. 132d AND 133d STS. Free Ladies' and Men's Silk Hose On Opening Days Friday and Saturday Fleming a balance of $40. On a date said to be Aug. 2, 1926, while Mrs. Holsey was at Saratoga and other places. Mrs. Murphy, it is claimed, went over to the apartment, then occupied by the Sissles to pay the $40 to Miss Fleming, who had been out of the apartment some time, and was in Chicago. Accompanying Mrs. Murphy, it is claimed, was Mrs. Trott. When the two arrived at the Sissles' apartment, Mrs. Murphy, it is claimed, handed over the money to a woman who answered the bell, after getting the signature of the woman to a receipt made out by Mrs. Murphy on a parcel post tag. Some time later Miss Fleming returned to the city, and on asking for her money was presented the receipt with her alleged signature, and told that it had been paid. Miss Fleming, it is said, denied having received the money, showed her own signature and that of a male friend of hers, who might have signed for it. None of these corresponded to that on the receipt. MRS. SISSLE'S DENIAL. The three women, Miss Fleming, Mrs. Holsey, and Mrs. Murphy, then called on Mrs. Sissle, who indignantly denied having received the money, and writing her name on a bit of paper, handed it over to the three women and told them to compare the writings. Falling to get satisfaction Mrs. Holsey took the matter to the court, where Mrs. Sissle, who appeared without a lawyer, was subsequently held for Special Sessions by Magistrate Douras. Later she was found guilty in Special Sessions, but was remanded for investigation RETAINS NEW LAWYER. Confident that his wife was innocent, Sissie changed lawyers, and the Boulin agency was called in. The justices of Special Sessions had decided that the forged name of Miss Fleming and the writing of Mrs. Sissie were identical, but the defense insisted that it was not. It charged that since the receipt had been made out in a hand other than Mrs. Sissie's, and that since Mrs. Sissie had voluntarily given her handwriting, to her accusers, that another receipt had been made out, and Mrs. Sissie's handwriting imitated on it during the twelve days that had elapsed between the accusation and the hearing in court. Among the first things said to have been discovered by the Boulin agency was an alleged discrepancy as to the date Mrs. Holsey was said to have been at the Saratoga races as compared with the date of the Wednesday on which the $40 was said to have been paid. Both witnesses differed as to whether it was Wednesday, July 28, or Wednesday, August 4. If the former, Mrs. Sisale had not yet moved into the fat · CONFLICTING TESTIMONY. In the hearing on Monday, Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Trott also gave differing statements as to just how the alleged woman in Mrs. Sissle's apartment had signed the receipt. Mrs. Sissle is left handed. The expert tested her writing by both hands, and declared the writing on the receipt corresponded to neither. The detectives in trying to get evidence concerning the character of Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Trott, are said to have followed them to a flat in the Wheatley Court Saturday night. Outside, it is said, they listened to a heated argument that these two ladies had with Hazel Cole over the Sissle affair. In the raided apartment at the time, it is said, were also Mrs. Carolyn Wilkins, Sue Green, Mrs. E. Wright, and others of the Harlem elite. After questioning by the police all were permitted to go home. An attempt to introduce this alleged incident against Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Trott in court was blocked by the prosecution Monday. Urich Browne was taken to the West 153th street station, and later to Washington, D. C., where he is wanted. Thousands of dollars worth of expensive fur coats, wraps, and beaded dresses were discovered in apartment and down the dumbwalter. Browne's alleged accomplice, one Schomburg, is said to have escaped through the window. MISS FLEMING'S ARREST. Miss Fleming was arrested in Chicago following the arrest of George Statum of that city while Statum was disposing of a quantity of men's silk shirts and scarfs in a cabaret. When questioned Statum, it is alleged, said that the goods were the property of Miss Fleming, who in turn said they were the property of her husband, C. E. Cashin, a taxi driver. --- Among the articles said to have been found in the possession of Miss Fleming were expensive Spanish shawls, scarfs, manicure sets, beaded bags, atomizers, mink and fox neck-pieces, bottles of imported and domestic perfumes, a large quantity of silk lingerie and expensive French model silk dresses. PHYSICIAN UNEASY. The Sissle defense claims that a political undercurrent was responsible for the persecution of Mrs. Sissle in order to save certain persons and newspapers, which it is alleged had published erroneous news. As a result of the acquittal several lawsuits were filed by the defense on Tuesday. And in the meantime the above-mentioned physician is on the uneasy seat at the impending disclosures regarding his marital conduct. Policeman's Stray Bullet Kills Man (Continued from Page 1) didn't like her husband and he had felt quite free to tell his landlady as much, the police said. After Davis had left for work last Thursday. Bunn and Mrs. Davis got into an argument. Neighbors heard angry voices, then the report of a pistol. When the police arrived Mrs. Davis lay on the floor badly wounded. Bunn had disappeared. The alarm went to police stations throughout the State. A few minutes after midnight Sunday morning a mysterious telephone call informed detectives at Paterson Headquarters that if they would go to 54 Benson street they would find someone they were looking for. Detectives John Herman and James Brooks of the Narcotic Squad and Reserve Officer Edward Moore went to the place. The two detectives went to the rear of the building. Moore watched the front door. Herman then cautiously pushed open the rear door, which was unlocked, and fired three shots into the darkness. A light in an inner room went out and the policemen heard someone moving about Moore, in front, pulled his pistol out and as he did so the front door swung open. Bunn paused an instant on the threshold, perceived Moore, fired four shots, then retreated hurriedly, slamming the door. Moore returned the fire, directing a stream of bullets through the wooden panel of the door. Two more shots rang out inside the house. The police decided to wait for the Negro to make the next move. They stood outside the building, occasionally firing through a door or window, and calling to the fugitive to surrender. Minutes passed, but there was no further activity. At length the detectives entered. With flashlights they made out the form of Bunn prone on the floor. An ambulance from Paterson General Hospital was called, but Bunn was dead with a bullet in the temple. His pistol lay on the floor nearby. All the cartridges had been discharged. Overturned Oil Stove Sets Fire to Apartment An overturned oil stove set on fire the apartment of James Holder, 30, 246 Bradhurst avenue, Sunday, and in attempting to extinguish the flames he was dangerously burned about the face and hands. The threatening flames had enveloped the room and Holder worked heroically to put out the blaze. In doing so his clothes quickly ignited and he was badly burned. However, upon the arrival of the fire department, Holder had quelled the fire. An ambulance was summoned and he was attended by Dr. Beardsley of Columbus hospital. MAID ADMITS TAKING $2 FROM BABY'S BANK A charge of grand larceny was reduced to petty larceny when Violot Graves, 17, a maid, 15 East 125th street, was arraigned in West Farms Court. She was held in $100 bail for Special Sessions. The girl was arrested on the complaint made by Mrs. Elizabeth Mostman, white. 31 Mosholu Parkway West, who accused her of taking $2 from a baby's bank last August. SILVER FURNITURE CO.

At the usual lunch hour on Tuesday, February 1, the women walked into the restaurant to be served. A few minutes after they were seated at the last table in the alley a white woman walked over and asked them to take the table around the alley, near the kitchen. When asked why she wanted them to move, the woman said: "This table is reserved for white people; the other one is reserved for colored people." She then signalled a colored waitress and told her to serve the young women if they moved to the other table. The women waited a few minutes and then walked out of the place.

Nadinola Bleaching Cream Five Texans Found Guilty of Peonage CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. Feb. 7.—Five white men, including Sherif Raymond Teller of Willacy County, were found guilty of peonage by a jury in Federal Court here Saturday night. The others convicted were Justice of the Peace Floyd Dodd, Frank Brandt and Carl Brandt, former Deputy Sheriffs, and L, K. Stockwell, a farmer. All five were found guilty on several counts. The law provides a penalty of five years on each count. The peonage charges were based chiefly on testimony of several young men that they had been arrested in Raymondsville, Tex. on vacancy charges, but that instead of being tried, were taken to cotton fields and forced to work for farmers under an armed guard. Their " fines" were deducted from their pay, along with 75 cents a day for meals, they said.

Address Department A, National Toilet Company, Paris, Tenn., U.S.A. Investigate Georgia's Bathtub Bulesque ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. 7.—The Grand Jury began last Wednesday an investigation of charges that a "bathub scene" had been staged at a dinner given by the Cooperative Club at a hotel here on January 4. The dinner was in honor of Carl H. Langnecht, international president, and it is charged that whiskey was served to the diners and that the entertainment ended when a little colored child was shown sent in a bathub. Officers and members of the club wore called before the Grand Jury. Winifred Jones, president of the club, admitted to the jury that there had been some drinking at the dinner, but said it was not excessive. The liquor used was the property of individual members, it was said and not of the club. Some of the members have stated that the child was fully dressed and that they saw, no liquors served. Other reports are that the child was unclad. "It was intended just as a burlesque of a certain New York party," some of the members explained in speaking of the hathtub incident. TWO N. J.

"WHITE INFLUENCE FATAL TO LIBERIA" John W. Vandercook, Author of "Tom Tom," Addreses Harlem Group John W. Vandercook, Author of "Tom Tom," Addreses Harlem Group Liberia Only State in Africa Where Slavery Still Exists, He Says — Sees Conflict Between Governing Class and Rubber Concern "The white race, by imposing its doctrine and superiority upon two handfuls of governing classes in Liberia and Haiti, has to that extent been responsible for the failure of Negro republics," declared John W. Vandercook, author of "Tom Tom," in discussing those two countries and New Guiana, from which he has recently returned. Sunday afternoon before the Fellowship of Youth at St. Philip's Church. The Negro ruling minority in these republics, he explained, come to believe that any institution of the white men is perfect and adequate to model their own after. The resulting failure of a white government on the coast of black Africa was inevitable. "Liberia is the only state in Africa, I am sorry to say, that has slavery." Mr. Vandercook further explained that the covering class in Liberia is granted the right to have from eleven to thirty-two slaves, who receive no remuneration for their work whatsoever. The undemocratic situation in Liberia results from the three distinguishes and separated classes of citizens. There is a governing class which hosts of an American lineage. During the days of slavery there was no social place for the Negroes "who had been freed by their masters and were still living in the South. As a result, many of them were taken to Liberia, and it is from these that the Negro republic gets its highest class. There is a middle class of farmers, artisans, and traders and there is a lower class, commonly referred to as "heuben." This latter group numbers a million and a half. The upper class calls itself "white" and refers to the natives, according to the speaker, as "whithe tinggers." "They are whiter than any white man they ever he," said jefferyingly. This group numbers about 4,000. The second class is 40,000 strong. Industri famous Gold profits because Golden Br almost from the start.

The Haitian situation is in many respects similar to that of the African state. There is an educated faction, consisting of about five per cent in the institution, which takes great pride in the fact that it has been able to assimilate what the white civilization has given it, rather than in anything which it might have originated. "Their terrific contempt for the Negro in the Negro state has caused Haiti to lose her independence," declared Mr. Vandercook. "For the first time the 95 per cent is receiving benefits from the Government." After the lecture, an open forum was conducted. One question asked was: What will be the outcome of the recent Firestone Rubber Company concession in Liberia? "The ultimate outcome," answer, and the author, "will be actual conflict between the governing class and the rubber concern. This conflict will invite American intervention, which will result probably in the throwing out of the present government and the setting up of a new one composed of the middle class." you can really use what wonderful choice there is for you to create a substantial benefit for yourself by simple stuffing every open moment you have in my bowl.

Mrs Mary Duchek, white. 306 East seventy-fifth street, common-law wife of Terrara, charged that the man came to the place where she was living and when she failed to permit a reconciliation, that he set the building on fire. The tenement accommodates thirty families and five storehouses high. Unable to pay the fine, Terrara went to prison for five days. Mrs. Duchek said that she and her husband had had a disagreement in Philadelphia, where they had lived together. She came to New York, she said, to make her home with Mrs. Bertha Franzen at the Seventy-fifth street address. Her husband trailed her there, the woman charged. He made numerous attempts to have her relent in her determination to leave him, she said, but she refused. Terrara, according to Ms. Duchek, then threatened her life and, placing a bottle filled with alcohol at the door of the Franzen apartment, set fire to it. The blaze reached the apartment, which was on the ground floor, and did slight damage. It was quickly extinguished by firemen. EX-PRISONER ARRESTED.

Then he told how he and Schooner had been playing hide and seek in a railroad yard in Philadelphia on Sunday and had concealed themselves in an empty box car on a sliding. A man had come and peered into the dark interior of the car and then slammed the door shut, and the train pulled out. Jimmy and Schooner were confined in the moving car all of the afternoon and part of the night as it was drawn and shunted about.

MALONE ALSO TO ASK DIVORCE Hearing on Poro College Receivership Postponed Until Late in March Founder of Institution Files Counter Claim for Divorce From Former Professor Letters of Confidence Pour in to Her ST. LOUIS, Mo. Feb. 7 (By the Associated Negro Press)—Unless some unforeseen development takes place, such as the settlement of the case out of court, which now seems more and more unlikely, the decision as to making the temporary receivership of Poro College permanent will not be handed down until late in March. Judge Moso Hartman mounted the bench last Wednesday and announced the continuance of the case without any motion being made in court, the attorneys for the opposing side having met in his chambers and agreed to try the matter on March 21. The jurist made no comment, confining himself to the bare announcement that the change was made on motion by Mrs. Malone's counsel. Mrs. Malone is proceeding with her plans for the Roland Hayes concert which she is presenting While no public statement has been offered by the lawyers on either side of the case, it was whispered about the court room, filled to overflowing, that such a mass of evidence had piled in on Mrs. Malone's attorneys and so many witnesses had volunteered to testify in her behalf, that they found it impossible to present their case at this time. It is probable that the divorce case will be heard at about the same time. Mrs. Malone is expected to file her cross-bill setting forth the various disabilities of Aaron E. Malone, her second mate, and asking that she rather than he be granted the divorce some time this week. In the meantime the temporary receiver, Conrad Pacben, white, continues in charge of affairs at Poro College, although his handling of the employees there is able to be much more diplomatic since he was called in by the judean and instructed to stay within reasonable bounds. Business has not abated and the highly trained force is handling orders and routine as usual. In fact, were it not for the terrible cost which the institution will have to bear in the receiver's fees and his attache's costs, and the aid of apprehension which perishes all St. Louis, things about Duro have returned to the appearance of normal. Mrs. Malone has been deluged with letters coming from agents, friends and sympathetic persons in every section of the country. Mr. Malone is more or less in exclusion. He refuses to be interviewed, directing all inquiries to his lawyers. He emerged last Sunday long enough to address a thrift meeting at the -Y. M. C. A. on the subject of "Girling."

(Associated Negro Press)—Brought face to face with the loss to the community and the Negro race in the likelihood that the recovership may be made permanent, with a white man in charge, leading citizens here circulated a petition last week in which they said: "Knowing that Poro College is an institution national in character, which we can point to with justifiable pride, and having watched its growth from small beginnings until it is now regarded as a substantial asset to the whole city, take this opportunity to express our confidence in and sympathy with its founder, Mrs. A.

At 129th street I caught him and placed him under arrest." "Ten days," Magistrate Glatzmayer said when Joseph was unable to explain his driving. As Carter led the prisoner into the prisoner pen, Joseph suddenly punched up toward Carter's jaw, and just scraped it. "That's all right," said Carter smiling. "I could bring you back on a charge of assailant, but I guess you're too simple to know what you're doing." Carter shoved Joseph into a coll and walked off smiling.

For instance, a piece for the larboard side was marked L. and a piece for the starboard side was marked S. He soon learned for what these letters stood and how to make them. When he went out on the next ter- rand he said to the boys, "You can't make as good an S as I can make." Such a challenge had to be met. They all dropped down on their knees and began the contest by making letters on the pavement. Frederick watched closely and learned to make for the first time many other letters. He kept at it until he learned to make them all. Determined to Learn to Read Then, thinking that he should practice on these letters and learn to make them well, he picked out a flour barrel, without letting any one know what he was doing, and carried it one night into the kitchen loft where he slept. He turned it upside down and propped himself up to it and used it as his desk. Knowing where little Tommy Auuld's old copy-books, he got one out the next day and took it to the loft. That night while the Auuld were asleep he sat in the loft and wrote between the used lines of the old copy-book. His desire to learn led him into strange paths. One day as he trotted along on his usual errand, with the rain putting him in the face and over the head, he thought he sped something in the gutter. He stopped suddenly and peeped further into that lilky gutter. There lay some scattered pages of the Bible. He picked them out of the rubbish, took them home and washed and dried them to read. For days after that, when he went out, he kept his eyes on the gutters for something else to read. Finding nothing there, he bought a box of shoe polish and a brush which he always took along on his errands. Whenever he passed any one with rusty boots or shoes on he said "Shine, Mister, shine!" By shining boots and saving up carefully, his pennies grew and grew until he had fifty cents. With this he bought a book called the "Columbian Orator," which he read over and over again. Goes Back to Eastern Shore At the end of Frederick's seventh year in Baltimore news came that he would be taken back to the plantation on the Eastern Shore on account of the death of his old master. This news came as a shock especially to him, Mrs. Audl and Thomas. The three of them, fearing that he might never return, went bitterly. He was away only one month before he was sent back to Baltimore. Another change, however, soon took place which called him back again to the Eastern Shore, where he remained for two years. He was now about sixteen years old, and had to work very hard every day and suffer such punishment that he was tired when night came. Yet he wished so much that his fellow slaves might learn to read that he, interested a small class of them, which he taught three nights in every week. Organizer Class of Thirty- Organizes Class of Thirty He also organized a Sunday-school class of about thirty young men. This he taught under an old oak tree in the woods until three class leaders in old master's church rushed in upon them one Subbath and forbade their meeting. Later on, however, the class was again secretly begun with more than forty pupils, many of whom learned to read. "Columbian Orator" Frederick had been reading the "Columbian Orator" which described the cruelties and injustices of slavery. He had also been thinking of how to obtain his freedom; but the pleasant times with his Sunday-school class had delayed his taking any action in the matter. For a while he kept his thoughts to himself but finally told his companions, who agreed to share in a plan to escape. Escape Frustrated They met often by night and every Sunday until the day set for their escape was at hand. They were hoping that no one would be tray them, but just at the last minute the news leaked out. The boys were seized, dragged to town and thrown in prison, where they remained for some time. 11 FOR three years after Frederick's release from prison he worked in the fields, suffering untold hardships. The following three years he worked in a shipyard in Baltimore learning the eaker's trade. During these last three years his mind was constantly running back From the Book "Unsung Heroes"* ELIZABETH ROSS HAYNESS to 1817, the year of his birth. Realizing how the years were passing, he was always thinking of some plan of escape. At last he hit upon what seemed to be a real one. and excitement. William rison, now known as abolitionist, was the next He spoke with feeling Frederick Douglass as he The audience sat motive some people present ever At the close of the m Plans to Escape With arrangements all made for his escape, he arose early one September morning in 1838, put on a sailor's suit which a friend had lent him and started down to the depot just in time to take the train. He also carried what was called a sailor's protection, which had on it the American eagle. A backman whom he knew well, arrived at the depot with his baggage just as the train was about to pull out. Frederick grabbed his baggage, hopped on the train just like a sailor and took a seat. The train moved on slowly until it reached a certain river which had to be crossed by a ferryboat. On this boat there was a workman who insisted on knowing Frederick. He asked Frederick where he was going and when he was coming back. He persisted in asking questions until Frederick stole away to another part of the boat. Arrives in New York City After a short while he reached Wilmington, Delaware, where he took a steamboat to Philadelphia, and the train from there to New York City. The wonderful sights of this great city seemed to make him forget almost everything except the fact that he was now a fugitive slave. A few hours after reaching New York, to his surprise he met on the street a man whom he had known in Baltimore. This man, also a fugitive, began at once to tell Frederick that there were men in New York city hired to betray fugitives and that he must therefore trust no man with his secret. Sweetheart Follows Him to New York This news so disturbed Frederick that instead of seeking a home he spent the night among barrels on one of the New York wharves. Unable to remain longer without food or shelter, the next day he sought out on the streets a sailor who befriended him and then took him to the home of a Mr. Ruggies—an "underground railroad station" where he was hidden for several days. During those days his sweetheart came on from Baltimore and they were married. On the day of their marriage they set out for New Bedford, Massachusetts, where Frederick as a ship's walker might possibly find work. Their money gave out on the way but a "Friend," seeing the situation, paid their fares for the remainder of the journey. Adopts Name Douglass After reaching New Bedford, the room was soon secured in the home of a very good man who liked Frederick's face. They talked of many things, among which was the wisdom of Frederick's changing his name. The man said, "I have just been reading Scott's Lady of the Lake and I suggest that you take the name Douglass, for that grand man, Douglass of Scotland." "Douglass of Scotland?" Who was he? "asked Frederick. The good man began by telling the story of the bravery in battle of Douglass of Scotland. Before he had finished his story Frederick was eager to take the name of Douglass. He had now a fine-sounding name—Fredrick Doughass—but he had neither money nor a job. He started out seeking work at his trade but was told again and again that the callers there would not work with him. Finally, he was forced to take whatever his hands could find to do. He saw wood; he shoveled coal. He dug cellars; he removed rubbish from back yards. He loaded and unloaded ships and scrubbed their cabins until he secured steady work. Sees the Liberator While he was at his work one day a young man brought him a newspaper edited by a man whose name was William Lloyd Garrison, of whom Douglas had never heard before. This paper, for which he immediately subscribed, was known as "The Liberator." He read every word in the issue which the agent gave him and waited impatiently for the next one to come. When it came there was in it an article about a grand convention to be held in Nantucket. Douglas read the article to the home people. He said that he needed a vacation, which might well be taken at the time of this convention. The following issue of the paper told still more of the plans for the convention. He concluded that he must attend it. Attends Anti-Slavery Convention He went to the convention without any thought of being known to anyone or of taking any part whatever in the meetings. A prominent abolitionist, however, who had heard Frederick speak to his people in a little schoolhouse in New Bedford, sought him out and asked him to say a few words to the convention. When he rose to speak he was trembling in every limb. He could hardly stand erect. Tells Experience as Slave It seemed to him that he could scarcely say two words without hesitating or stammering, but he went on. As he told of his experiences as a slave, the audience was exceedingly quiet. When he had finished, people broke into applauses. and excitement. William Lloyd Gurri- ron, now known as a leading abolitionist, was the next speaker. He spoke with feeling, taking Frederick Douglass as his subject. The audience sat motionless and some people present even went. At the close of the meeting, another abolitionist came to Douglass and urged him to become a traveling agent for the Massachusetts Anti-slavery Society. For two reasons, he did not wish to take such a position. In the first place, having been out of slavery just three years, he was afraid he could not speak well enough to travel in that way; and, secondly, he feared that his former master might hear of him and send for him. The abolitionist, however, unwilling to accept excuses, urged Douglass until finally he consented to travel for three months. Before many days had passed he was on the road as a lecturer against slavery. One morning he went to Grafton, Massachusetts, and tried to get a place to hold a meeting. But he could not get a hall or even a church. Nevertheless, he was determined to speak to the people that he went to a hotel and borrowed a dinner bell. Soon he was seen running through the streets like a madman, ringing the bell and crying out, "Frederick Douglass, recently a slave, will speak on Grafton Commons at seven o'clock tonight." Many came out to hear what such a strange man could say and all left at the close of that open-air meeting apparently more thoughtful than when they came. The next day ministers of the large churches in that town came to him and offered to open their doors for his meetings. Raises Voice Against Slavery For several years he did nothing but travel and hold meetings. He attended one hundred anti-slavery conventions and spoke at every one of them. During the first three or four months of his travels he told the story of his experiences as a slave. Then he became tired of repeating the same old story and began to show by the manner in which he expressed himself that he was thinking deeply about the whole question of slavery. "Let us have the facts. Be yourself and tell your story," said his hearers again and again, but Douglass said that he was tired of telling his personal story. He attempted to speak against the injustices he helped upon him and others, but his audiences murmured, saying "He does not talk like a slave. He does not look or act like one; and, besides, he does not tell us where he came from or how he got away; and he is educated, too." Writes Story of His Life Determined to remove doubt from their minds, Douglass wrote a narrative of his life as a slave and had it published. Now that the story of his life was published, friends like Wendell Phillips, fearing he might be captured and taken back into slavery, advised that he go to Europe. He went and he spoke in all the large cities of England, Scotland and Ireland. In order that he might return home a free man, two women in England, "Friends" they were, started the plan of raising the money with which his freedom was purchased from his old master in Baltimore. On his return to America, he went to Rochester, New York, and for sixteen years edited there a paper called The North Star. So much money was needed for publishing this paper that he even mortgaged his home. For twenty-five years he lived in Rochester. During those years he wrote and lectured and conducted an "underground railroad station" in that city. Lincoln Becomes President Because of the disturbed conditions in his own country at this time, he went to Europe again, but returned in six months on account of death in his family. Some of the disturbances which he left behind when he went away had subdued but others had risen. A President of the United States had to be elected. For a long time it seemed that no man was the choice of a majority of the people. Finally, Abraham Lincoln, who had once been a rail-splitter, was elected. Douglass worked hard to help elect Lincoln. He also took part in the terrible Civil War, which had come as a result of the country's disturbances. Helps Recruit Regiment As soon as the Governor of Massachusetts issued the order for the many soldiers needed, Douglas enlisted his own sons, Charles and Lewis, from New York State, and took a leading part in raising the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Negro Regiments. The first of those soon won fame and a name throughout the country because of its brave attack on Fort Wagner in the hour of trial. In that terrible battle at nightfall the Fifty-fourth was fearfully cut to pieces, losing nearly half of its officers, among whom was its beloved commander, Colonel Shaw. Douglas, with his son Charles as a recruiting officer, worked steadily until the emancipation of the slaves and the close of the war were brought about. He greatly relied over the out-come of the war, yet a feeling of sadness seemed to come over him. What was he to do? He felt that he and reached the end of the noblest NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS.

He thought of settling on a farm which he might buy with the few thousand dollars which he had saved from sale of his book called "My Bondage and Freedom," and from the proceeds of his lectures at home and abroad. The question, however, was soon decided for him. To his surprise, invitations began to pour in upon him from colleges, clubs and literary societies offering him one hundred and even two hundred dollars for a single lecture. One of the literary societies of Western Reserve College invited him to address its members on one Commencement Day. He had never been inside a schoolhouse for the purpose of studying, therefore the thought of speaking before college professors and students gave him anxiety. He spent days in study for the occasion. Not being able to find in our libraries a certain book which he needed, he sent to England for it. Not long after his address on that Commencement Day the thought came to Douglas that the Negro was still in need of the opportunity to vote, and thereby become a citizen. He talked about the question and finally set himself to the task of gaining this right for his people. Interviews President His first marked step in the matter was to gain for himself and ten other men an interview with the President of the United States. The discussion on that occasion brought the question practically before the whole American public. The next great step in gaining the ballot for the freed men was taken in Philadelphia in 1886, at a great convention called the "National Loyalists Convention," which was attended by the ablest men from all sections of the country. Sees Old Mistress Douglas's own city, Rochester, New York, elected him to represent her. While he was marching in the long procession through the streets of Philadelphia he saw standing on the corner of Ninth and Chestnut streets the daughter of Miss Lucretia Auld, under whose window he had sung as a hungry slave boy. He went to her and expressed his surprise and joy at seeing her. "But what brought you to Philadelphia at this time?" Douglas asked. She replied, "I heard you were to be here and I came to see you walk in the procession. She followed the procession for several blocks and joined in applause given Frederick Douglas as he passed.

The vote passed by that convention. It is said, had its influence in bringing about the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. After the convention, Douglass went to Washington. D. C., as editor of a newspaper. It was not long before he became what is called Elector-At-Large for the State of New York. As such a representative, the Republican party of that state sent him to Washington to carry its sealed vote which went toward electing Grant as President. Douglass later received an invitation to speak at the monument of the unknown loyal dead, at Arlington, on Decoration Day. Lincoln Monument Orator Five years later, when he spoke at the unveiling of the Lincoln Monument in Lincoln Park, Washington. D. C., the President of the United States and his Cabinet, judges of the Supreme Courts, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and many thousands of other citizens were there to listen to him, to honor the memory of Lincoln and to show their appreciation of such a gift from the freed men. Appointed U. S. Marshal Douglas was appointed United States Marshal of the District of Columbia. As Marshal he visited the criminal courts every day to see that the criminals received justice. There were also high social duties attached to this office. President Garfield later appointed him Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, at which post he remained for nearly five years.

A constant stream of people poured into the doors of the Alhambra and it was about one o'clock before the curtain went up, something of which our good friends, the Theatre Boys, should not feel proud as it was announced that the show would start at midnight. well known to Harlem and led by Charlie Davis, Harry Carrol, Chilton and Thompson, and those two sister acts, which our good friend Mr. Louis Garcin has obligantly forgotten although he occupied the seats set aside for this writer. Of course, there were others who shared in the night's gippeause, and they numbered such well known performers as Bryson and Jones, the Four Whitlwinds from the Keith Circuit, the Connie's inn Revue and Wilbur Swentman's aggression, musculation and entertainments all in it. It was a good night and a night which all present decided came too seldom—a night which brought back Vincent Lopez and his band whom you thought we had forgotten. Nay, nay. Vincent made such a hit here the first time he appeared in Harlem and also created such a fureze we can never forget him, especially when it is considered that these same theatre boys were the ones to bring him on this part of the stage. Even ever were and still holding their place in the fancy of Harlemites, Lopez and his band went over with a bang.

But that as it may, it was on the same motel representative gatherings seen at a theatre in Harlem in an age and our friends the boys, can very well afford to feel proud at being able to induce that throng to sit in to witness the show. The acts were varied and many, and none left the stage without its full quota of an audience. Enthusiasm gripped the audience from the first note sounded by the Hippodrome orchestra, which came up from the Sixth avenue, and played as if they enjoyed the proceedings as much as the audience.

STUDENT CIRCLE WINS The Student Circle basketball team defeated the Emenon Club, 44-25 on the Abbsiianian court on Jan 31.

Church on Monday Evening, Ethel Hoffman Chambres, a Young Woman of Unusual Charm and an Artistic Performer on the Violin, Ably Assisted the Accomplished Organist in Presenting a Splendid Program. Leon Abbey at the Savoy Now Youthful Violinist Rated Among Nation's Greatest Maestros Oh! Yez, Oh! Yez! We chuckle with delight when we hear those skeptical ones say there is no opportunity for advancement in this great country of ours. Take the case of one Leon Abbey, just a mere youngster with a fiddle under his arm and an unusually happy smile on his face, who one day applied for a job in the Savoy orchestra, laughed his way into it and in six short months played his way into the hearts of the crowds and is now at the head of his own orchestra, with a salary that would have amazed him six months ago; his name in lights and, what is more important, with a sweet contract under his arm to record for one of the greatest phonograph companies in the world. To the Savoy Ballroom goes the credit for discovering this youngster. And to the Savoy Ballroom goes the spoils of the victory, for Leon Abbey brings his orchestra there for an extended engagement on the night before Lincoln's Birthday to alternate with the inimitable and justly famous "Fess" Williams, who needs no introduction, as he is well known as the "Personality King of Jazz." Harlemites should attend the opening of Loon Abbey's Band and welcome into the ranks of the newly great this boy with a fiddle who had no strings attached to his ambition. Ziegfeld Follies Coming to the Roosevelt Theatre Dorothy Mackaill and Louise Brooks Featured in "Just Another Blonde" Ziegfeld's Follies seem to be a school for motion picture training, judging from the cast of First National's "Just Another Blonde," attraction at the Roosevelt Theatre. Dorothy Mackaill has the featured feminine role and Louise Brooks has the second feminine lead. Both are former Follies dancers. Miss Mackaill secured her first American engagement with the Follies just after she came to America from England several years ago. She graduated from the Follies to pictures and is now one of First National's most popular featured players. Miss Brooks started her career with the school of Ruth St. Denis dancers and toured the United States with them for two years. Then she danced in George White's "Scandals" and at the Cafe de Paris in London, and later became a sensational dancing success in "Louls the 14th" and the "Follies." This brilliant pair of ex-Follies dancers are seen as Coney Island entertainers in "Just Another Blonde." Jack Mulhall has the featured male role in "Just Another Blonde" and William Collier Jr. has the second male lead. the Student's team featured the contest. It appears that the Students have hit their stride, and are in fine fettle to successfully complete their hard schedule. 'The Masked Woman' Will Be at the Douglas Tremendous Climax in Big Picture Secured for Movie Fans by Manager A symphony in celluloid, is this swift moving tale of Paris and Monte Carlo. "The Masked Woman," opened at the Douglas Theatre. The picture presents the problem of whether or not a woman is ever justified in risking her reputation for any cause—no matter how worthy—and solves it with a novel twist. It is an unusual plot with a tremendous climax, woven into scienti- tillating scenes depicting Juraxurious life on the Continent, introducing a Roman banquet, with the guests reclining on silken cushions at the feast: authentic scenes from a sophisticated French revue; a battle royal among fourteen gorgeously gowned ladies for jewels, and money during which their unmatchable Parisian costumes are torn almost to shreds, and other thrills of color and action. The cast includes Anna Q. Nilsson. Einar Hanson, Holbrook Bilnu, Charlie Murray, Ruth Roland and Gertrude Short. The production was directed by Balboni.

Preserves the Natural Color of the Hair 1 News European Correspondent Sees the Blackbirds at Their Best And Tells of Wonderful Success of Florence Mills in New Edition of London's Favorite Show By IVAN H. BROWNING. European Correspondent Amsterdam N.Y. LONDON. Eng. Jan. 24—The slightest mention of a desire on the part of the Blackbirds in return to the United States and London takes on an air of anxiety that tells better than anything else the love of these people for Miss Mills and her troupe. The show opened its 1927 edition recently and to say that it was a plot would be putting it mildly. As an indication of the remarkable success scored it take pleasure in reprinting the following from some of the leading papers over here. The Daily Mail, Blackbird papers with easy a swing as did the first, is evidently rewarded as better than a pantomime by some of the parents of small children still enjoying school holidays. The most spontaneous outburts of merriment in the London Pavilion last night came from groups of young people who had been taken in see Florence Mill, a resident British scarlet artist and an incastinating little figure in a Russian embroidered tunic in another—dance. The motion song and revelations of the performers kept them and their critics convulsed with laughter. "The new dance, Black Bottom, done in a cabaret setting, is much more intricate and strenuous than the most complicated of Charleston. The Blackbirds chorus do it with apparent ease, but then syncretism seems to be in their very hands. If it takes, hold of the English dancing public modified version, as in the case of the Charleston, will have to be evolved." In the meantime, the Daily Sailor will in turn perform Mille Mille dance in the most sensitive and flexible I know, the plays with half tones and quartet tones like violin. A very great little art form, Florence Mille.

Pavilion, she had the audience in the hollow of her hand. "Johnny Hudgins was as expressively silent as ever, the Three Elders, and the Three Pilman Porters surely John Nit must be the greatest dancer of his kind in the world, caused immense enthusiasm, while Edith Wilson's 'Black Bottom' dance was a sensation. "And a special word for Shrimp Jones' orchestra, whose dynamic energy must be the nearest thing to perpetual motion yet invented by science. "But Florence Mills' singing of 'Baby and Me' remains with me as the most lasting memory of a very exciting evening. A. P. Hubert Griffith writing in the London Evening Standard has the following to say: "It seems to be a proof of London's increasing artistry intelligence that the 'Blackbirds' revive has not only had a mild success, but has had a large and enduring and fashionable success." THE NEW YORK TIMES The Splendid Offer by This Famed European Appearing in Another Column Should Be of Great Interest to Our Artists. bound to have had. The show is far too vital and far too original to have been passed over completely. But for these very reasons it would, in the old days, have stood very chance of being disliked by the main body of musical comedy years. Virtuity and originality in all modal shows to at a discount. And question who it was hoped were funny and needless young ladies who it was hoped were pretty well all that any management was given encouragement to offer. "Blackbirds" has no use for collectors who are not funny—Mila Florence Mills combines in her own small epidermis person many of the qualities both of a Marly Boy and a Marie Tempel and of blackbirds in a real beauty choreography girl, in the accepted English sense of meaninglessness, do not exist in it. But it is an extraordinarily little collection of good dancers, of vital and individual personalities, with at least one arresting beauty. The chorus itself is quite enough to explain why launcin went to Tahill to get away from European type, and why 'No-Not' was written. "There is nothing very important to be said about the fresh turns in the new edition. They are nowly variants of the old, and all in one way or another, good. It is only that there is not more partinging, on the lines of the scene (in the film program) on the Mitsai-skept whad, but all the heat of the other turns have been kept." NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. FEB. 9. 1927 Indecent Shows Will Be Hard Hit Indecent Shows Will Be Hard Hit Colored People Watching Banton to See if He Will Include Outside Broadway A number of our white friends have consolled themselves with the thought that enough Negroes are not interested to make it worth while to give a thought to the production of shows from which have been driven the vulgar jokes and indecent contortions which leave very little to the imagination. But some good day they are going to wake up to find they have made the mistake of their lives, especially since an effort will be made to induce Rear-Admiral Plunkett and a few other friends of our people to conduct a little investigation on their own book and tell us if they think we are in need of a little change in theatrical diet on 120th street and other places. A Grand Jury with power to indict producers of objectionable plays will take the present situation in hand to halt the rampage of objectionable productions, according to the latest plans of District Attorney吕安ton. The play jury of nine producers, under the leadership of Winthrop Ames, producer of Gilbert and Sulivan operas, will have advisory power, and suggestions from the jury will be considered before definite legal steps are taken to install objectionable producers in tall. The District Attorney said: "From now on it will be my plan to rigorously enforce a decent standard of plays. It will not advertise the play by taking it to minor courts, but will take it directly to the Grand Jury, as we do with arch criminals. If the play is indicted, prosecution will begin at once with a speedy trial." Mr. Banton declared that he hoped that the personal censorship by himself will not be long lived. "I regret that it is necessary, but I will continue to be censor until some other effective means to curtail the production of indecent shows is found. If the play jury perfects plans to relieve me of my new post, so much the better," he asserted. Rear-Admiral Plunkett of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, in an address to the convention of the New York City Confederation of Women's Clubs last week, said that the movies and the stage are the two chief causes for the upheaval of marriage ties and resulting separations and divorces. "The stage is going down so fast that, if something is not done to stop it now, nothing will ever be able to set it right," he said. The Admiral demanded "What Price Glory," as the "evilest piece of indecent public propaganda he had ever seen." European Makes Splendid Offer Scholarship to American Girls by Professor Drysdale Sponsored by Florence Mills In another part of the theatrical section of today's Amsterdam News will be found an offer from Professor Louis Drysdale of London which should arrange immortalize interest among the ambitious young women studying singing in this country. Professor Drysdale is one of the prominent teachers of Europe and he has won international repute through his accomplishments and a studio on which many of the world's masters have placed their stamp of approval. Through the interest exhibited in his work by Miss Florence Milla, Ivan Browning and other Americans of color, Professor Drysdale decided to offer this scholarship to two colored girls from this country. The presentation of the successful students at the end of their studies at one of the leading concert halls in London would spell immediate success for any pupil turned out by Professor Drysdale and, as only the most worthy will receive such an honor, it is safe to say that half of the battle for recognition would be won by the aspirant, as a European showing would mean the attention of American audiences upon the return of the scholar to this country. While this offer will perhaps also be made through other papers after this announcement. The Amsterdam News takes pardonable pride in again being the first to come forward with something more far-reaching and of greater benefit to our people than the silly reproduction of vapid letters and "interviews" from certain performers who seek only the momentary glory of seeing their name in print through the medium of the child-like simplicity of well-meaning but misguided newspapers. A New Star Appears When, on two days' notice, assumed the leading role in "The Bottom of the Cup." A Twentieth Century "Uncle Tom's Cabin" A melodrama furnishing sidelights on the Negro problem in the South of the present day, as far-reaching as Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," on slave conditions, is being presented at the Mayfair Theatre, under the title "The Bottom of the Cup." The play was to have presented Charles Gilpin, of "The Emperor Jones" fame, in the leading role, but on account of his sudden illness the part is being acted by Daniel L. Haynes, who, on two days' notice and without ever having appeared on the stage before as an actor, may have leaped into fame at one bound. More of Haynes later. There are several remarkable things about "The Bottom of the Cup." To begin with, it was written by John Tucker Battle and William J. Perlman, the former halling from the State of Texas; but there is nothing remarkable about this circumstance until one sees that the play holds up to public gaze many of the inconsistencies of southern whites on social equality, mob rule. Negro education, and so forth. Mammy Lou, who has long been in the service of Colonel Fitzhugh, has two sons, Charles and Willis Thompson. Haynes is cast as Charles. Colonel Fitzhugh has a daughter, Rosalie, who falls in love with shell-shocked, gassed, dope-afflicted Robert Kinner. As the curtain rises Rosalie has just been turned out by her father, because she is soon to become the mother of an illegitimate child, the father of whom is unknown to her father, else he would have killed him. Rosalie finds refuge in Mammy Lou's humble cabin. "Charlie," whom the Colonel had sent North to college, returns to the Mississippi Delta on the very day his brother Willis and Kinney the latter the son of a wealthy father who, upon his death, kept him out of his inheritance until he should attain the age of 30—commit a murder during a local bank robbery. Soon after Charlie reaches his mother's cabin and is greeted by her and by the Cocktail, the Sheriff and a pose come in quest of Willis, whom someone had seen running away from the scene of the crime. But just before they arrived Willis had entered the cabin while Mammy Lou was in the other room attending to Rosalie and, depositing the swag in the corner of the room, ran out. Charlie gave a good account of his movements after his arrival and, following the searching of his suit case—overlooking the bag left by Willis—the pose departed. Suspicion is directed towards Kinney and he, in turn, leads the pose to Mammy Lon's cabin where Willis, exhausted from his furlough attempt to escape the blockhounds, has returned and frowned refuge. The door is opened 'the pose by Charlie, who implores it not to lynch his brother, but to give him a trial. Willis, protesting that he did not fire the shot, and on the verge of making a clean breast of the robbery and murder, which would have implicated Kinney, the real murderer, is shot down by the latter. The Sheriff's official report is to the effect that Willis was shot while resisting arrest—the identi- THE BOTTOM OF THE CUP a Missouri sippi Delta," by John Tucker Battle and William J. Perlman.

Meanwhile, Rosalie's day of confinement approaches and Charlie, much against the admission of his mother to 'stay out of de white folks' business' sends for Kinney in the hope that he will be able in persuade him to marry Rosalie and effect a reconciliation between her and her father. Kinney comes to the cabin, believing that Charlie intends to blackmail him and offers to give him the million or more dollars needed to found his college for Negroes in exchange for his secrecy. They have some pretty scorching words and Charlie takes Kinney's revolver and dope needle away from him and puts them in his pocket. Kinney is a little later prevailed upon to go in to Rosalie. But Kinney's connection with the robbery will not down; and an autopsy having proven that the fatal shot was not fired from Willis' gun, and with the additional knowledge that the only known weapon it could have come from was owned by Kinney, the Sheriff returns J.

N. Y. THE KNABE PIANO to the cabin to place him under arrest. He is on the verge of invading the adjoining room, where Rosalie had given birth to her baby, for Kimmay, when Charlie pleads guilty to the murder, offers the revolver as evidence, and is taken out and lynched. "The Bottom of the Cup" is an accurate portrayal of conditions in the South today and for many days past. Colonel Pitsburgh, a white man, spent over $10,000 educating Charlie "up North." Yet, the moment he ceases to be just Charlie and meets his benefactor as man to man, he becomes a plain "nigger." His daughter, Roselle, when driven out of her own home, takes refuge in the humble cabin of Mammy Lou. The robbery is staged by a blue-blooded Southerner and a colored man—proving that the Negro in the South has no monopoly on crime. A cold-blooded murder by a white man is set down as "whot while resisting arrest," and that man's own brother goes voluntarily to an atrocious death for the sake and happiness of a white girl. Haynes' acting is realistic. He portrays his part without the elighten: affectation, and it is probable that, without previous training or experience, he is more adaptable to the part than Glipin would have been—and this without detracting a whit from the latter's genius. Before becoming an understudy to Glipin in "The Bottom of the Cup" he worked as a printer, insurance man, bank employee, secretary of a phonograph record concern and a music publishing house. Virtually, it would now appear, he was born to the stage and his many occupations bitherto but parts in plays. He is a graduate of Morris Brown University. There is one other Negro in the cast, George W. Nixon, who ar- Z — George W. Nixon — Who appears as Willis Thompson in "The Bottom of the Cup." sumes the role of Willis. His acting is good, and so is that of the white members of the cast. W. M. K. Renaissance Theatre Seventh Avenue, at 137th Street Thurs., Fri. — Feb. 10, 11 BEBE DANIELS in Stranded in Paris Sat..

Dougherty "Kid Boots" at Lincoln Feb.10 Another Ziegfeld Success Secured by Manager Snyder for Patrons Going from an east side secondhand clothing shop to the links of an exclusive golf club, Biddle Cantor, in "Kid Boots," leaves a trail of laughs behind him that has seldom been equalled in this city. The picture, adapted from Florenz Ziegfeld's musical comedy success by Tom Gibson, will open at the Lincoln in Thursday and judging from the unrestrained enthusiasm of the crowds, it's going to be increasingly difficult for the management to clear the house after each performance. Although one of the stage's great comedians for years, "Kid Boots" is Cantor's first film. And—if his inaugural effort may be accepted as a criterion, as it should—Eddie's future is already assured. Why? Because "Kid Boots" is one of those things we so seldom see, a screaming comedy with a real melodramatic punch. Cantor is introduced as the "come-on" in a second-hand haberdashery. By a rapid-fire series of incidents he becomes involved with Malcolm Waite. The latter's eminence increases when both find themselves vying for the hand of entrancing Clara Bow.

Stuyvesant and’ THE NEGRO VOTE AGAIN TO THE FORE MAGAZINE SECTION CLASSIFIED ADS "When It Comes to the Knowledge of His Own Illustrious Past, the Negro Is the Most Poorly Educated Race in the World" EVERY once in a while colored as well as white speakers, addressing Negro audiences, will pause long enough to exclaim: "The colored race is rapidly increasing in knowledge and education!" It will be argued that this soft balming and sweet talking have done good, and, therefore, help the race. However much this argument might serve to soothe the apprehensions of the superficial minds, it certainly does not stand examination when certain essentials of proper education are taken into account. Herbert Spencer, one of the men of the nineteenth century, who understood all Edgar M. Grey said that education was the created generation brings to creation all of the accumulated edge and traditions of the p said that education was that process by which the ripened generation brings to bear upon the ripening generation all of the accumulated facts, experiences, knowledge and traditions of the past. Applying this definition to the present needs of the colored people in the United States, it would be found that they are the most poorly educated people in the world. For however much one might know about the affairs of other races and peoples, until one becomes acquainted with one's own past record in history, one cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered educated.

This is so because the white race is dominant and is only interested in perpetuating its own existence; knowing as it does that the mental food as well as the physical food which is fed to any group decides whether its group personality shall be this or that in the future. In other words, the white race does not print any of the past records of the Negro in its school books for the reason that it knows quite well that without this record acting as mental food the colored child will be ashamed of its group and will seek to initiate all of the manners of the white race. Dr. Kelly Miller once wrote that no two races living side by side—the one dominant and the other dominated—could long hope to survive apart. But this not only is not necessarily true as a logical proposition, but it may be disproved by an examination of the history of the Athenians and the Romans and the Ainus and the Japanese. In the case of the Athenians the Romans conquered them, overran their country, practiced the most unheard of outrages, against them, and then were compelled by the sheer force of the accumulated culture of the Greeks, which was superior to that of the Romans at the time, to employ the Athenians to teach their children to read the language of the Greeks, because in it lay the whole story of the world's past. The Romans were the physical lords of the Athensians; they were lords of all the Greeks in that city, but the Greeks were their masters and finally made them slaves for the reason that the Roman mind could not withstand the force of superiority which the Greek language and Greek tradition left deep-rooted in the thoughty soul of the Romans. What Roman could feel him no more. Did not Mr. Harding enforce the declared policy of his party and reverse his own avowal not to appoint Negroes to office in the South out of consideration of the exigencies of his own renomination? The Negro is but a pawn in the game. All he can do is to stand by and await the next move. However, we shall probably be spared the nausea of Negro politicians going up and down the land, proclaiming to the race that its deliverance is contingent alone upon the success of the Republican party and its nominated politician. II. A Senator from Georgia has pushed through Congress a resolution forbidding assessment of office holders as a penal offense. The obvious object was to eliminate the two Negro members from the National Committee of the Republican party, which would effectively remove the race from functioning in Federal politics. A motion is now pending to investigate past conduct in this respect, with the intention and expectation of eliminating Ben Davis and Perry Howard, the only vengeance of Negro authority carrying with it political control. Democrats and Republicans alike get behind closed doors and join in the glad refrain. "Bye. Bye Blackbird." 111. The enactment has called renewed attention to the failure of the antecedent Civil War amendments. "Why do you insist upon my obeying the Eighteenth Amendment." says New York to Mississippi, "when you persist in violating the Fourteenth and Fifteenth with impunity." The North and the South have So far as the interest of the Negro in the sensational events which are knelling the doom of white world domination and consequent Negro liberation is concerned, these events might just as well be taking place on the distant planet Mars as in China, Europe and Mexico.

What child of the Patriarch could look with scorn upon the proud countenance of the most inferior Greek slave and conclude that he, the son of a Roman citizen of high castle, was superior to him because his father's soldiers and his father's legions had taken the Greek people captive and brought them back to the eternal city as proof of their greatness? None. As a matter of fact the proud Romans were humbled by the very fact that they could not by any physical effort either themselves feel superior to the Greeks, or make the Greeks to feel ashamed of themselves. ed by familiar with such of written or other the story of the ments of their r The Negro's racial history is used; and this in this day and was when the race was inaccess rank and file or was when the prents which awaken the de knowledge were negligible. But the great raft of Negro the powerful and Negro press, the ture platform, the colored school the leges, the most as the most mode Consequently the Greek self, the Greek ego, the Greek racial personality survived. The Alinus of Japan have in the same way survived, for the reason that they too refused the education of the yellow men. They would have none of their Shintoksm; they would not treat with them; they sought only their own traditions, and worshipped their own gods. The historian, H. G. Wells, in his book "Outlines of History," says: "The Alinus are white people; they have preserved every characteristic, physical and behavioral of the white race. The fertile and vigorous racial personality of the Japanese people could not overweave these people who, whatever their reasons were, refused to fuse with their yellow neighbors and be swept away in the great flood-tide of yellow blood." The soul of a people must be left finally to soar among the heavens of its racial traditions; their racial traditions must be known to them before that of all others, in order that they might maintain the kind of resistance which is necessary to imbue them with the will to survive. This may best be accomplish- exchanged places. The North is now insisting upon the rights of the people of the States to determine their own type of conduct, while the South maintains the supremacy of Federal law. The involved moral inconsistency is too obvious to escape public notice and comment. Both sections reverse the Constitution in spots. One section says to the other: "If you let me ignore the portions of the Constitution which I do not like, I will keep quiet on those portions which you ignore. But if you do insist upon my obeying the amendments which are distasteful to me, then you must not expect me to continue to acquiesce in your annulling the sections which are disagreeable to you." shall have power act.

They have not a perception, but a mor. How the EU must hold their s This is a pretty moral mess for a high-minded nation to indulge in. Amid the din we hear the feeble, almost pathetic voice of our Chief Magistrate chosen to carry out the decrees of a brave and honest people:—"You ought to obey the law because it is the law." But the people pay no heed to impotent moralizing. The other day, on the floor of the Senate, the Senator from the great State of New York stated that every Senator knew fully well that the Eighteenth Amendment was ignored and that most of them indulged in its violation. Why did he not also say that every member of Congress is fully aware that the Fourteenth Amendment is flagrantly violated and that a goodly proportion of senators and representatives are beneficiaries of that annulment. The Fourteenth Amendment declares that, if any State shall disfranchise male citizens over twenty-one, on any account, its representation in Congress shall be reduced in that proportion. It further declares that Congress the Chinese and Mexican peoples and his own vague and to the present unactivised desire for liberation that a strong possibility exists that, in a war forced upon Mexico by the oil interests of this country, the Negro would be found suicidally lined up with the white imperialists and exploiters against his own racial interests and against the interests of the darker races. If this unthinkable treason to his own best racial interests and the common cause of the darker races is to be prevented, it is high time that courageous lead- ed by familiarizing themselves with such of their traditions, written or otherwise, which form the story of the past achievements of their race The Negro's knowledge of his racial history is woefully limited; and this without excuse in this day and time. Time was when the record of the race was inaccessible to the rank and file of Negroes; time was when the propaganda instruments which were necessary to awaken the desire for racial knowledge were puny and almost negligible. But today with the great raft of Negro authors, with the powerful and ever growing Negro press, the pulpit, the lecture platform, the magazines, the colored school teacher and colleges, the most ancient as well as the most modern facts pertaining to the life of the colored race in America and the world are easy of access. This coming week is Frederick Douglas week: the celebration of his birth and the commemoration of his death. What does the average colored boy, the average colored grown-up know of the facts of his life? Do they know that he was born in 1837, that he was born a slave, that he ran away from his master in 1838, that he made his great Nantucket speech in 1841, that he went abroad for the first time in 1845, that his name was first Lloyd, then Bailey, then Douglas? Do they know that he was able through the kindness of friends abroad to purchase his freedom in 1845 from Mr. Auld for large sum of $750? Do they know that he was the first colored person to be elected an elector-at-large from the State of New York, and that he was in the same year, 1872, selected to take the electoral votes to the District of Columbia? Do they know that he edited the newspaper the "North Star" at Rochester, New York? Do they remember any of the passages of his great Fourth of July speech, or his great speech in reply to John J. Ingalls of shall have power to enforce this act. And yet for forty years neither the President nor Congress has taken any step to enforce this part of the Constitution. Congress has just voted thirty million dollars to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, but the past twenty Congresses have not provided one cent for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment, whose violation is more palpable than that of the Eighteenth. If consistency is a jewel, American statesmen should be decorated with brass. They have not only lost moral perception, but all sense of humor. How the European nations must hold their sides with laughter at the predicament of the American nation, when it would pose as the moral monitor of mankind? The Negro is the passive beneficiary of all of this. Every high thinker in the world agrees that a nation which violates its own law is sounding the death knell of its own doom. President Coolidge tells us over and over again that overriding of the Constitution, in any of its parts or provisions, will soon lead to the overthrow of all government. Though, like blind Cassandra, the people ignore his prophecy, yet they feel deep down in their hearts that his admonition is true and his speech is right. We cannot anticipate the continuance of this moral anarchy in perpetuity. Every thinker, statesman and moralist tells us that it must end. This knot of lawlessness cannot be untangled without giving the Negro his full status under the law. All things come to him who waits. All of the protests of all of the Negroes, from the time of Wade Hampton to that of Seng- era and thinkers within the race get busy educating the Negro masses in the implications of world politics and the meaning and promise of the universal rebellion evident today on the part of the colored races against white world domination, whether in China, Africa, India, Mesopotamia, Java or Sumatra. To delay this education is to invite the use of the Negro as a tool in the bolstering up of white imperialism and thereby earn for the Negro hatred of the Chinese and other colored peoples struggling against white imperialism and pave the way for his perpetual subordination to the aims of the white imperialists. It is high time that the Negro EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS Kansas? Do they know that he was Marshal of the District of Columbia. Recorder of Decals for the District of Columbia and Secretary to the United States Congressional Investigating Committee which went to Hayd, and that he was United States Minister to the black republic? Did any of the boys and girls write a composition or an essay on the life of Douglass and submit it to his school teacher as class work? If they do not know these facts, if they are not interested in the life of the greatest Negro of all time, if they have never taken the trouble to read his three books: "My Bondage and Freedom," "Life and Times," and "Experiences of a Slave," then whatever else they know, whatever else they have been taught, has been the poorest kind of education. the writer, during the past week, at the behest of the New York Amsterdam News made a survey of the colored boys and girls of high school and college age and attendance, in order to determine what proportion of them were acquainted with the life of the great Douglass. The replies were shocking. The ignorance displayed by these future leaders of the Negro race was alarming; the few elementary questions which were put to eighty-four high school and college students disclosed the fact that only three were able to tell the year in which Douglass was born; two had read one of his books, and five had read about him in other books. The other seventy-nine had heard of him but had no definite notion of anything that he had done, or any position that he had held and hardly any clear idea of just what relative position he bore to the great abolitionists of the years directly before and during the first few months of the Civil war. Then the grown-ups were quizzed. They were divided into those who had some form of education—formal training—and those who had had none. The re- tor Blease, have gained the race but little political advantages. But the unfolding of the moral law will effect that political consumption so devoutly to be wished. IV. The lavish use of money in the primaries has become a heated, political issue. It also carries with it moral consideration. Here again the South and the North have exchanged sides. The Democratic party that has stood so stoutly for State rights now insists on the power of the Federal Senate to override the clearly expressed will of the individual State. As the New York Times puts it—the North says to the South: "If you do not allow us to buy our elections, we will not allow you to steal yours." If the South would keep quiet on the corrupt use of money in Northern elections it could go on suppressing the Negro vote till doomsday, so far as the North would dare to interfere. But when one lives in glass houses he must not throw stones. So has the Pennsylvania senator has put the South on warning. If it dares to interfere with the Keystone State as to its method of conducting elections, then the great and grand old party will institute inquiry into well-known Southern methods. Moral honors are about even. The South has no money to lajvish on elections as the North has. The North has no hordes of Negro voters to suppress such as the South has. But when white politicians fall out, Negroes get their dues. He again becomes the beneficiary of the political mammon of unrighteousness. V. Occasionally cases arise involving the rights of the Negro under the Constitution. In was familiarized with the Nationalist struggle in China and informed of the relationship to the Negro liberation won by the Red Cantonese armies in their orderly sweep northward against the forces of the foreign-supported northern militants. These victories of the Cantonese armies have already had their effect in Java and Sumatra, where uprisings against Dutch imperialism have occurred laterly. They have caused great joy and a militant stirring in India and the hinterland of Africa, where their importance is realized. The British, realizing that not only are their thefts and "interests" in China threatened, by "Boys and Girls of High School and College Age Know Practically Nothing of Frederick Douglass, First Great American Negro Statesman" "Every High Thinker in the World Agrees That the Nation Which Violates Its Own Law Is Sounding the Death Knell of Its Own Doom" unit of this investigation showed a larger percentage of non-educated persons who were acquainted with the facts of the life of Douglas than were the so-called educated persons. For instance, a Harvard and Yale graduate replied to none of the questions, while a barber over 40 years old was able to reply correctly to seven out of the ten questions asked. "I am not interested in the race question etc." several supposedly educated persons said by way of making an excuse. This survey showed that the race is not receiving the proper kind of education; it has been educated only in the history and traditions of the white race. The argument is often made that the history of the American people is the history not only of white folk, but also of black folk—a spurious argument. If people who argue in this fashion would stop to consider that the history of the black people in the Western world is not solely the history of black folk, and then ask themselves why it is that so few white people teach their children the history of colored people, they might be able to see the point in knowing their own history. The whole problem seems to be that the kind of education, particularly in history, that the Negro youth is receiving is bad. If the hope of the colored race is to survive. Not only is the education bad because it does not prepare the colored youth to esteem and revive his fast, but it is bad be- IE FOR "Every High Thinker That the Nation W Own Law Is Soul Knell of Its every instance where the clearly stated issue of political rights has involved, the court has upheld the fundamental purpose of the Constitution. The "grandfather clauses" in the several revised Constitutions of the Southern States were negatived by unanimous concurrence of the nine judges of that judicial arbiter, Chief Justice White, a Louisiana Democrat, who himself had been a beneficiary of its annulment, delivered the opinion that those provisions were in contravention of the Fifteenth Amendment, and were, therefore, null and void. I doubt whether this great decision caused a single additional Negro to avail himself of the suffrage. But it upheld the sanction of the Constitution, banishing all race distinction in the right of franchise. It is well to keep open the door of hope, although not a single individual goes through. A case now before the Supreme Court involves the right of Nexros to enter a Democratic primary. If this case can be clearly shown to involve Federal features, the decision can be easily anticipated. Although it is difficult to see just what concrete political advantage will come to the Negro by forcing his way into a Democratic primary in Texas, yet all affirmative decisions accumulate in the same direction and insure the success of the Cantonese Arms, but that their power in India would be shattered, should a powerful and free China come into being, are doing all in their power to block the Cantonese advance; but already the British have been kicked out of Hankow and other places in the interior of China, and the time is fast approaching, when these imperialist thieves will have to surrender the Shanghai and other "concessions" to their rightful owners. Events in China clearly indicate the swift approaching crash of white imperialism. Will the Negro be alert to his opportunities when that crash comes? Will he be in a position to dis cause of the interpretations which white people—authors, teachers, preachers, actors and other white educators place upon the facts of Negro life, past and present, without being challenged by the Negro himself. It is sometimes the boast of so-called refined and educated colored people that they do not read colored newspapers, magazines and books, nor go to hear a colored lecturer. These people's souls are dead; their racial personality has been swallowed up by the virus of the white man's propaganda; their inferiority is established and their skins, whatever the hue, are simply acting as the masquerade costume for the real "me," the real "I." which is neither Negro nor white, Japanese or Chinese. It is this class which made Carl Van Vechten's book, "Nigger Heaven," possible. They are the ones that he defined and characterized. They are the ones who make it so hard for the colored author, writer and scholar outside their clan to get publishers to accept their works. These are they who have neglected to read the facts of our history. These are they who are picked by white people to lead us: Douglass learned much from them. They are here now. They will, like the poor, be always with us; we who take the trouble to honor our glorious, past must bear the burdens of the race and, incidentally, of these drones who are too inferior to find anything consoling in the great past of the colored race. RE - rer in the World Agrees Which Violates Its ounding the Death its Own Doom" VI. The Nineteenth Amendment, conferring the suffrage upon women, has not only doubled the Negro's political potentiality, but has reinforced his claims by broadening the basis of the franchise and bringing it into closer harmony with the democratic principle. All of these forces are working to bring about racial equality in the demand of political rights. The Negro may have great passive effect in bringing about the desired result. Let him stand firmly by the principle of political righteousness. If political exigencies require the republican party to glaze over corruption in public life, he cannot exult in its shrewdness; if the grand old party uses unethical money in the local or national election, he should not approve if the whole nation enters into a conspiracy of silence on lynching and lawlessness, he should cry out but the louder; if both political parties should agree to ignore the Eighteenth Amendment, yet he should uphold it. His only weapon of defense in his political helplessness is the sword and shield of righteousness. Upon such a foundation he needs to to stand still and await his political salvation. tinguish between his friends and his enemies? These are questions that Negro leaders and thinkers will have to face.

Wednesday, February 9. 1927 62 Years After WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN died, not know that sixty-two years of United States would still be trample out the last vestiges of slain several of the Southern States. It is the case. INVESTIGATIONS in Louisiana and Mississippi recently have revealed conditions so abominable as amount to virtual slavery. The Emancipator know that the amendments attached to United States Constitution during administrations, would be practical in most of the South to negroes everywhere will take the celebration of his birth this Saturday and it is entirely fitting that he would do so. The injustices heard in the Negro since Lincoln's death not be attributed to him. He did during his life to mete out just all citizens of the country, regard of race or creed, and when he is reasonable to conclude that right his noble work would be done. Even the party behind whither he was raised to the Preside deserted most of the principle down. THE HUMOR of Dr. Frederick K., Arctic explorer and fake Nazi discoverer, will not down. Prison cell in the Federal prison, Fenworth, Kansas, to which heenced for fraud, he advocates,iding of a race of pygmies to do God's work. WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN died he did not know that sixty-two years later the United States would still be trying to wipe out the last vestiges of slavery in several of the Southern States. Yet, that is the case. INVESTIGATIONS in Louisiana and Mississippi recently have revealed peonage conditions so abominable that they amount to virtual slavery. Nor did the Emancipator know that the three amendments attached to the United States Constitution during his administrations. would be practically inoperative in most of the South today. NEGROES everywhere will take part in the celebration of his birth this Saturday, and it is entirely fitting that they should do so. The injustices heaped upon the Negro since Lincoln's death cannot be attributed to him. He did his best during his life to mete out justice to all citizens of the country, regardless of race or creed, and when he died it is reasonable to conclude that he thought his noble work would be carried on. Even the party behind whose banner he was raised to the Presidency has deserted most of the principles he laid down. THE HUMOR of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Arctic explorer and fake North Pole discoverer, will not down. From his prison cell in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, to which he was sentenced for fraud, he advocates the breeding of a race of pygmies to do the world's work.

IN MARYLAND, however, an Interracial Commission, composed of some of the most prominent and influential colored and white men in the State, has submitted a report to Governor Ritchie and the General Assembly in which the repeal of "Jim-Crow" railroad legislation was strongly and publicly urged. THE COMMISSION also made other recommendations pertaining to agriculture, education and industry that are calculated greatly to improve the conditions under which the citizens of both races in that State now live.

EDITORIAL PAGE Around the Corner WE'VE ALL HEARD of the Little Church Around the Corner, but this editorial is not on that church or that subject. It is a little story of a little shop around the corner from Seventh avenue and 135th street, and should prove of interest to Negro men — and women, too — in Harlem. If you do not feel that it is worthy of the dignity of an editorial page, forgive us, but read it through, anyway. I AM now back in Warsaw, Poland, where I speak tonight before I go on to Berlin again. I have had thirteen days in Russia, and, the amazing wonder of it, I saw nothing of the moving picture "bolshevik," wearing long whiskers and hiding a bomb under his coattails. From the moment when I reached the Russian border until I left it again I was treated with almost embarrassing courtesy. In Moscow life was in full swing. While winter is not the best time in weather for an American to visit Russia, it is the time when life is at its full, when all the officers of government are in, when the theatres and operas are open, when factories, parties, clubs, government bureaus are going full tilt. AROUND the corner, at No. 202 West 135th street, is the Bell & Delany haberdashery, owned by two very enterprising young Negro men. The shop has been there for well over a year—a long enough time to prove its staying qualities, if given even half a chance. Except for the fact that it is owned by Negroes, it does not look unlike scores of similar shops in 125th street owned by white people. The stock carried is as good — if not better — commensurate with the price charged, as that found elsewhere in the city. The proprietors are courteous. Russia is essentially a winter country. I have talked with the masters of Russia from the President of the Republic, Kalinin, to the heads of various governmental bureaucats. It is Lenin that still rules Russia, although he lies several years dead. And there is a symbol in the fact that, though he has been several years dead, one can go into the mausoleum and look upon his pink, red-whiskered face, appearing for all the world as if he had fallen asleep a few minutes ago. IT'S TIME for those who have not given Bell & Delany a visit to do so. Collars, ties, handkerchiefs, hose, shirts, underwear, pajamas, even the elusive collar button, may be purchased there more conveniently, and with considerably more benefit to all of us, than when purchased elsewhere. Surely every Negro professional and business man, who makes his living and who owes his success to Harlem's compact Negro population, should give this little shop consideration when making purchases in its line. Modern science has done with the lifeless body of a man what the Egyptian mummifiers never did—preserved it in life-like color and feature. They say that for ten years at least Lenin will last there, lying on his back as if asleep, while thousands file past and look on his face and form. From Berlin to the Russian border I had as a sleeping compartment mate a very cultured German gentleman, who could not speak English, but who knew, besides German, both Polish and Russian. We had, therefore, to converse in German, and he was my interpreter in the presence of the Poles and when we first met the Russians. It is marvelous what one can do under a necessity. With my inexperienced conversational powers in German, this man and I discussed everything, including the question of race. And he turned out to be a high official of the Soviet! You can see why my baggage was not bothered when I entered Russia, and when I came out yesterday the officers recognized me again, saluted, and refused to allow me even to open my baggage for inspection. THIS EDITORIAL is entirely unsolicited on the part of Bell & Delany, or anyone else. It is presented for whatever little good it may do them and the scores of other worthy Negro business men in Harlem in other lines. We have singled them out because every man in The Amsterdam News office has made purchases there and can verify all that is said here. Maybe you know from first-hand information of other Negro enterprises in Harlem that are just as worthy of support. If so, tell us of them, and in so far as our space permits we will pass your report along. It is impossible to convey an idea of the present Russia as a societal fact. One must see it for oneself, and that is what I advise every traveller to Europe to do. It is a great thrill to see these people, with the biggest job a people ever took upon themselves, substituting themselves for Czars and Grand Dukes, and in one upheaval rising from economic slaves to the mastery of their own fate. What will they do with it? Later I may find time to write separate articles on the "theure and the church," the "interviews" with kusanian leaders, the "Jews," or the "revolutionary spirit," but for the present I may speak only of the more general impressions. As our train passed through Negro History Week THIS IS NEGRO HISTORY WEEK. All over the United States appeals are being made to boards of education for the adoption of textbooks on the subject. Libraries are being urged to display pictures of distinguished Negroes along with those of other races. But textbooks on Negro history and on the Negro in history, if adopted by public schools, would reach only the young; whereas, those out of school and now engaged in every walk of life, young and old, need that beneficial stimulant which comes from a knowledge of one's past, especially when that past is as illustrious as that claimed by any other individual or racial group. THE NEGRO produced a civilization contemporaneous with that of the ancient Mediterranean. Like the history of other races, his march from darkness into light has from time to time been impeded and interrupted, but he has marched on and on even down to the present day.

By WILLIAM PICKENS ing in Russia and, as their offices are not yet well co-ordinated, you may have to do a lot of walking, too. Often you must carry a paper into three or four different offices, for the signatures and records of various officials ought to be housed in the same room and so save time for themselves and you. Every time you go to another office you may find a line at the end of which you must start, unless you have some certificate of courtesy from the Government which will allow you to be served out of your turn. The early bird will not catch the worm in Russia, for the worm will be late. Even the old orthodox Russian calendar is just thirteen days behind the calendar of the rest of the world, so that October 25 comes on November 7—and I had another "Christmas" in Russia on January 7. nearly 24 hours, with a stop of two hours in Warsaw, I noticed an unnous silence and non-communicativeness among those who were en route to Russia. It was as if they were passing under something that might tall on them. Even my cultured compartment mate, who somehow had become remarkably confidential in his talks with me, yet was non-communicative to others on the train, even to some of whom, as it turned out when we reached the Russian border, he knew well, and with whom he was, in fact, travelling. He and a certain other man suddenly became warm friends, chattering like school boys with each other as soon as we left Stolzbey, the last Polish town, and began to approach Niegoretojo, the first Russian town. Since the "revolution" this old calendar has fallen into disuse, except by a few old people. I was invited to a new Christmas Eve party on January 6. Some English-speaking Russians rolled with laughter when I remarked that somebody had evidently taken the "rush" out of Russia. One sees Orientals in Moscow. I will later tell about the play, "Richi Kital," a Chinese play, done by Russians made up—a great revolutionary drama—and the twenty-two Chinese generals whom I met at a banquet and conference—modern fellows, just in to take three months studying Russia. They came from Gen. Peng's revolutionary forces. China is drawing close to Russia. We must also speak of the schools and colleges and wonderful workers' clubs. It is a big subject. Evidently there is no love lost between Poland and Russia, and no confidence misplaced. The Russians feel that they are passing through enemy country when they pass through Poland. I noticed that every effort was made as we were about to leave Poland to find something wrong with my compartment mate's passports, and finally the Polish officers discovered something (an "it" not dotted or a "it" not crossed, perhaps). At any rate, they had him get off and go into the customs office and PAY something. He returned, smiling cynically, and when I hinted that some of the little countries are living principally off "stamps" and technicalities, he replied in German that "the smaller the country the greater the need." This lack of friendship is dangerous, and dangerous especially for these little countries who seem to be allowing themselves to be used as tools of certain great Powers to embarrass their neighbor Russia as much as possible. They other day the little two-by-four country known as Latvia took four men who were trying to organize labor unions and stood them against a wall and shot them to death without trial. After reading it one feels that he has just passed through one of those Parisian sewers so well described by Victor Hugo in Les Miscrables. True, on the way one passes openings where a little light and fresh air are permitted to penetrate the underground passage, such as when one reads the nine poems grouped under the chapter heading, Glory Hallel哼哈, and "Dressed Up" in the group, Beale Street Love, which shows that Mr. Hughes has both imagination and talent. The destiny of Russia has been more or less in the hands of her farmers and industrial workers for not quite ten years. That is but a moment in human history. It was surprising to find that these "common people" had gone so far with their task. I had my clothes cleaned Just like new. I put them on but I still feels blue. They still lack, and will lack, American "efficiency" and speed. Most of Europe lacks that. They are slow in Russia. Every official comes late to office; they certainly mean to enjoy their freedom. If a thing is promised you tomorrow, expect it about two days later, and be sure to call after it a time or two before that. Expect to do a lot of wait- I bought a new hat. Sho is fine. But I wish I had back that Old gal of tide. I got new shoes. They don't hurt my feet. But I ain't got nobody LETTERS TO THE EDITOR One in 400 in High School To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. My dear Sir; The feature article in the last issue of your paper on "The Problem of the High School Student in Harlem" strikes home in a very definite way. Mr. Grey, the writer of the article, has brought into brief and rigid compass a very startling situation, which is all too true. "Pity 'tis, "its true." Is it possible that between two and three hundred thousand of us in Greater New York will only send "five hundred" pupils to high school? Look at it another way. The total population of Greater New York sends 100,000 pupils to high school, or one high school pupil for every sixty people. If we place 200,000 as the number of us in Greater New York, then with only 500 or one youth in high school we have the astonishing ratio of "one in every 400 of us." The reasons for this lethargy? Well, Mr. Grey has well stated most of them which need not be recounted here. One remedy: Maybe a campaign through your paper to encourage the two or three hundred colored teachers to subscribe $5 a year toward a $1,000 fund that could tide the ambitions and deserving over the rough financial spots during their high school and college days. I highly command you for the space given to this matter. Even if you did not have the space to make a city-wide campaign for funds, I sincerely hope that you will hit this matter again in an early forthcoming issue. 223 West 128th Street, New York City Feb. 7, 1927 Keeping Fit By E.

Well, every day I see that public health education SIR GEORGE NEWMAN somewhere wrote: "The progress of preventive medicine depends in extraordi- nary degree upon the enlightenment and education of the people. There is no doubt that, owing to the nationa- l system of education, to voluntary educational movements and societies, and to the valuable agency of the press and public opinion, such enlightenment is proceeding apace. Yet it has far to go." Well, every day I see episodes that prove to me that public health education yet has to "travel some." Many people are ignorant and some are selfish. Even religion sometimes conflicts with scien- tific reason. Because this is so, many diseases will continue for a long time yet to spread by contagion from the diseased to the innocent. Not so long ago I approached the ticket window of a theatre in of syphilis. So they did not wash their hands. I wonder if any developed syphilis indirectly from this active syphilitic ticket seller? She is a menace to the public. She should go home, take treatment and when better come back and sell ticke- A few weeks ago a young woman came to me for treatment. She was weak, had night sweats, a bad cough, and had lost much flesh. She had been married just two months, and was pregnant five weeks. To me she seemed quite sick—too sick to be enjoying the honeymoon of a two month's marriage. In fact, an X-ray revealed that she was suffering with a second degree stage of tuberculosis. She had this disease long before she married. Why did she marry? An examination before her marriage would have revealed the physical tubercular condition. It's too late now. Three human beings are now involved in the meshes and tentacles of a deviating disease—the husband, the unborn baby and the wife herself. Some weeks ago a mother brought her 17-year-old daughter to see me. For over a year this lass of seventeen summers was afflicted with sores on the legs, a skin eruption around the nose, and other skin lesions in other parts of her body. She has been living with other members of the family, aunt, uncle and his wife, some cousins and a lodger. A very careful examination shows this girl is a leper. It has been confirmed by a skin specialist to whom I sent her. The mother determines that the other members of the household must not know that a leper lives in their midst. This is a contagious disease when close contact occurs, such as eating at the same table, sleeping in the same bed, kissing by friends or family. In this case pride, selfishness and mother-love are battling against the health and happiness of others. Once upon a time I was worshipping in a church in Harlem. Communion service was being held. The organ was softly pealing out tones of solemnity and appealing grandeur. The minister was facing his congregation, holding up and out the communion cup, silently be-searching the faithful to slip the wine and eat the bread—in the solemn sacrament of the Christian religion. Among the folks going up I saw at least fifteen of twenty people whom I knew as patients. There were people with syphilis, pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic nasal catarrh, pyrrhon, tubercular nasal aglyphis. Each and all of them, with other people of the congregation, would partake of the wine from the same common communion cup. I had to close my eyes, shut out, as it were, this spectacle of the unhealthy drinking from the same cup with those who are well. Somebody gets infected. The germs are there. Surely a change in the method of giving this sacrament should be made. Religion is placing the germs that come from a syphilis mouth, the tubercular throat, the gums with pyorrhea and even the lepros lips upon the lips of the healthy.

Even religion sometimes conflicts with scientific reason. Because this is so, many diseases will continue for a long time yet to spread by contagion from the diseased to the innocent. Not so long ago I approached the ticket window of a theatre in Harlem and called for two tickets. A young woman of pleasing face was selling the tickets. As she turned her face to me, and the electric light played brightly on her well moulded face. I saw active syphilitic eruptions in bold relief upon her face. This young woman was having active syphilis, with possible germs on her lips and the skin eruptions of her face. Her hauds, no doubt, are carrying these germs from these parts to the tickets and the paper money she passed to me. As soon as I got into the theatre I washed my hands. There surely were plenty of people going into that theatre who did not recognize this active stage It is true that even the sewer is necessary, but we do not understand why so promising a poet as Hughes prefers to linger there and write the kind of delible that characterizes his "Weary Blues" and the present volume. We do not maintain that all poetry should be upstarting, or that it should deal exclusively with subjects foreign to everyday existence, but we do not believe that it should debase merely for the sake of debasing—to satisfy the morbid tenderness of a jazz-crazed world—as is done in "Roll Silk Stockings." Put on your red silk stockings, Black gul. Go out an' her de white boys. Look at yo' legs. Ain't nothin' to do for you, nohow. Isround this town. You're too pretty. Put on yo' red silk stockings, gal. An' tomorrow's chile'll Be a high yaller. Go out an' let de white boys Look at yo' legs. If poetry of this type is the only kind white publishers will accept it may be that the world —both the black and the white world—would be just as well off without it. W M K
