SHARPSHOOTING STOPS VANDALS Upset Seashore Dope to Tie Jersey Championship Series ATLANFIC CITY, N. J. Feb. 12.—The Buccaneers evened the count with the Vandals at Waltz Dream in the annual Lincoln's Birthday contest, emerging the victor, 30-23. The game was featured with brilliant play by both teams, but the Buc sharpshooters had their eagle eyes working to perfection, outscoring the Vandals from the field 10-4. Only consistent foul shooting kept the Vandals in the running, registering fifteen of twenty-one chances. The Bucs garnered 10 of 22 foul tries, but Brooks, Stanfield, Queen, Wayman and Howard sparkled with shots from the field. Crossing the dope from the start, Queen and Brooks scored from past center, and switching play, Stanfield and Brooks slipped through the Vandal defense and took passes from Green and Howard for easy counters. Ten of twelve foul tries and a lone goal by Baskerville and the half ended 17-12. Bucs. Feils at forward, with Baskerville at guard, improved the losers in the second half, but their efforts to stop the rampant Bucs took out Todd, Jackson and Knox via the personal foul route, and the crowd, overwhelmingly Bucaneer, whooled it up as the gun returned their team victorious.

City ADMISSION, ONE DOLLAR JOE FERDINAND IN GREAT FIGHT 一 Salem - Crescent Boxer Should Have Received Verdict Over Cross The Crescent A. C. held its first amateur boxing show in five weeks last Thursday night at the city house and offered a well-balanced card to the 200 or more onlookers. Out of the eleven bouts on the program, six ended by knockouts. Stanley Cross, clever two-fisted Trinity boxer, engaged Joe Ferdinand, colored Crescent-Salem star, in the final of the 115-pound class that proved the future of the show. The boys hit at top speed throughout their three-round session and crammed as much action into those nine minutes as has been seen in the New Moon gymnasium this season. Ferdinand, a classy stepper, kept his opponent guessing most of the way, and should have received the judges' verdict. Frankle L. Placa, 16-year-old Sea and Land Club favorite, won the admiration of the crowd by coming through splendidly in his matches against Jimmie Sloan and Walter O'Hara. Meeting the latter in the final of the 128-pound class, La Placa flashed unlimited skill, and finally succeeded in stowing away the St. Thomas Catholic Club battler after two minutes of the third was over. In the only special bout on the card, Tommy Easton of the Brooklyn Union Gas Club took his usual stop before the onslaught of Joe Hanlon, metropolitan champion, in a hour of only two minutes and 45 seconds duration.

TAYLOR GETS BOUT VERDICT Local Amateur Star in Torrid Four Round Battle With Jackie Edwards Jackie Edwards, sensational Gus Breun Club heavyweight, and Sylvan Taylor, colored scraper from the 135th Street Y. M. C. A., last Thursday night battled four torrid rounds at the Sheridan Council, K. of C., amateur show, with Taylor getting the verdict. An extra round had been called at the conclusion of three slam-bang sessions and at the finish of the fourth the result still looked to be in doubt. In another special encounter, Jack Sullivan, knockout artist from the Mission Club, added another kayo to his long list when he flattened Matty Krick, of the Jolly Six P. C., after two minutes and 45 seconds of the first round. Krick tried hard, but was no match for Sullivan. Krick hit the canvas four times before he finally gave in. He gamely tried to arise on the fourth knockdown, but just as the count reached seven and he was lifting himself to his knees, his strength suddenly left him and he slumped back to the mat. The summary: 108-Pound Class—Al Peters, Carlisle Indians, defeated Joe Burke, Misson, Sullivan, Kaplan, Judges, defenses, Herman Asnas, Barracks A.

Mr. Miller, however, invested in a "Georgia Peach," while Bunny stood pat with a New York Peach—the investment as different in way, but they were both in "PEACHES," and it occurs to us that peaches are not a safe investment.

"Young" Stribing, who by the way also hails from the Georgia metropolis. It seems that Mr. Miller is in for one hundred grand, and column is wondering since Billy's terrible showing against Eddie Huffman, at the New Garden recently, how Mr. Miller intends realizing on his investment. After a training period of several weeks at a farm in the "Lynching State," "Strib," so Mr. Miller let it be known, was pitched to "High C" and that everything was hunky-dory for his entrance into Tex Rickard's heavyweight tournament. Mr. Huffman acted in that affair, along with the boxing fraternity spend now evenings along Tin Ear Alley attempting to figure out Mr. Miller's next move—always the $100,000 the uppermost thought on their minds. As one well known manager told this writer while discussing the subject last week, "$100,000, is not of money, and we quite agree with that idea, but how does he I know that Mr. Miller allly parted with that much jack. If he did it's hard to believe regardless of the condition under which it was or is to be parted with. According to our subject "Mr. R," no professional boxer is worth $100,000 to any manager, and adds: "Knowing Mr. Miller as I believe I do, it occurs to me that the apple sauce is working for the sake of publicity—but what's the use of being in the boxing game unless you're clever enough to hand the gang who pound out the BULL something they hand him, who may or may not scan their question? The boxing writers are too terrible, and that is one of the reasons why Mr. Miller's $100,000 for Strib doesn't weigh heavy on me, because, so I'm told, some years ago, Walk pounded out copy on an Atlanta daily, and believe me they don't forget in a hurry." Of course, when "Mr. R." took a healthy swing at the boxing writers, column didn't tarry very long for fear "Mr. R." might discover our newly acquired vocation of pounding out this junk each year for the honorable sporting editor of this paper. So just to act chummy and to be far away as possible from "Mr. R." in his let go a right uppercut or some similar swing, we made a quick exit, after attempting to soothe "Mr. R.'s" feelings by agreeing with his chatter. And now I'm wondering what is going to happen to me after "Mr. R." reads all I've said about him. Maybe he'll give THESE BOYS GOING AHEAD Majestic Club Upholds Brilliant Record by Recent Victories The Majestic Club, one of Harlem's leading amateur lightweight teams, knocking off all kinds of competition, added two more victims to their long list of victories last week. On Tuesday evening the Majestics travelled down to the Elemdorf Chapel and defeated the home team 41-34. On Lincoln's - Birthday night, playing the preliminary to the Celtics and Renaissance, they slaughtered the Monmouth Elks of Asbury Park in a game in which the Majestics displayed a remarkable brand of basketball, the final whistle finding the Majestics on the long end of a 49-34 score. The Majesties have won thirteen out of their last fifteen games, and in doing so have compiled a record which they should be well proud of and, sheldud they continue at the rate they are now going, we'll all hear about them in the near future. This Friday night they journey down to Red Bank to try and add the scalps of the Atlantic Highlanders to their list. Renaissance Orchestra Scores at Opening Don David and his orchestra made a decided hit at their opening at the Renaissance Theatre Saturday afternoon and, judging by interest shown, they have at once became the expected outstanding feature at this theatre.

Flowers has kept up a consistent pace during the past season and is looked upon as a future contender for the lightweight-crown. He handled Hart with little difficulty and punished him severely with vicious left and right hand punches to the body. Hart fought in a clownish fashion and puzzled his colored adversary at times with his queer tactics, but in the majority of the sessions was on the receiving end of a bad whipping. Hart scaled 137½, against 134½ for Flowers.

The writer entered into conversation with several persons to find out the prevailing opinion held by the common man in the street of colored men in high position, and just what were the reasons for their success.

In all there were ive Litigation Mr. Hudson, former Liberian ul, and now fiscal agent of of Liberia, one of the chief interland of Liberia is the avres. the natives take great delight in participating in them. Mr. Hudson, who has recently returned from an extensive tour of the Liberian hinterland, tells of the many trials he observed in the February number of the Messenger. a Negro magazine published in New York City. Says he: Notwithstanding the fact that the Liberian Government idols and graven images of all races would make an interesting anthropological museum. Such a pantheon would but reflect the physical idiosyncrasies of the people who fashioned them. Some would be white, some yellow, some red, some brown and some black. The white man always palms the devil black, although the best examples of the qualities and essence of his Satanic majesty have been clothed in a white skirt. Milton's Satan is not Satanic at all. He merely embodies the will and self-determination of the Teutonic race. He is the real hero of "Paradise Lost." The imagination must fashion its ideals of excellence in terms of the physical models with which the mind is most familiar. Idolatry is only personified selfishness. Our delites must have our own color and facial features and must speak our own languages and favor our moral ideals and social aims. Outgoing Race Religion All religions in their genesis and gaelus were local and racial and, like all other cults, have tended to spread in wide and wider circles with the hope of ultimately embracing all mankind. A universal religion must make the universal appeal and must also above and transcend the incidents of race, color, language, age or cline. The European, the Asiatic and the African, in the fullness of self-consciousness, will not accept a religion whose physical and psychic structure is built on an alien model. The Hebrew-Christian religion has much of the fundamental requirements of universality. In this essential quality it is all but interviewed about 160 persons who, in the opinion of the writer, were fairly representative of the Harlem population. First the writer discovered that the popular judgment is that all colored persons are equal, without regard to individual achievement. Secondly, the replies to questions established that the general and representative opinion is that it is almost criminal for one Negro to appear more successful than another Negro. This last opinion was shown to exist without exception. The cardinal reaction was in substance that the Negro holds himself in complete contempt. A typical case was the attitude which those who were interviewed assumed toward the employment by white business men in the community of colored help. Then, there was the unanimous opinion that colored tradesmen were, as a class, inferior to white tradesmen. "Why do you engage in your productions any but the fairer types of girl?" a theatrical producer, himself a colored man, was asked. His reply was, "The public will not stand for the presentation of the other types." When the writer suggested that the public ought to be educated up to accepting rather than complexion, the producer replied that he "was out to make money," and that he would not fight against popular opinion. Next a producer of Negro motion pictures was interviewed. He was asked why was it that in all of his productions, without exception, he had always cast the falrer types of artists in the more dignified roles, and had cast the darker types in the more ludicrous and bizarre roles? His reply was that the colored audiences demanded this; and secondly, that the technique of developing and printing the pictures made it impossible for the darker types to appear with as much esthetic advantage as do the falrer types. has long since brought all of the several tribes of its hinterland under the domination of its laws, tribal laws and customs still obtain among the natives, the lesser offences and petty civil affairs are still punished and redressed by these laws, with governmental sanction. The tribesmen seldom, if ever, have controversies with the civilized Liberians or with a forelimor, but they will institute a palavre (trial) against each other for the most trivial cause. The natives are very cunning, diplomatic and astute in these controversies, and the astonishing thing to the outsider is that these controversies are seldom, if ever, accompanied with malice or hate.

It forbids racial self-worship by prohibiting idolatry in any form. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness" served for the time to free Hebraism from the defilement of surrounding idolatry. But in its wider application this commandment freed it also from the narrow limits of racial isolation and raised it to the higher requirements of the human spirit for all peoples and for all times.

It seems to beotion of the Christian spiritual kinship to acclend all human Apostle Paul sum matter in his laration that, wi tian dispensal neither Jew nor ian, Scytrian, b From the beginning there has been constant apostasy from this universal ideal. Pride of race and local and national vanity have been in constant rebellion against the Bible. The Samaritans sought to racialize and localize Jebahov by the vangiorious boast that "our fathers worshipped God in these mountains." Jesus, in chastising the narrow, intolerant spirit of the Samaritan woman, reaffirmed the claims of Christianity as the creed of mankind. "The time cometh and now is when men shall worship the Father neither in these mountains, nor yet at Jerusalem. God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." This declaration, if taken seriously, would forever banish time and place and race from the spiritual scheme which Jesus came to set up on earth. John the Baptist, divining the racial conceit of his Hebrew hearers, warned them of the futility of faith built on flesh and blood. "Think not that it is sufficient to say that we have Abraham to our father; for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up seed unto Bu EDGAR M. GREY The heads of different kinds of offices were then interviewed. They were asked why it was that the average typical office employee among colored people was of the fairer complexion? They replied that in the first place they had discovered from long experience that the public prefers to do business with fairer girls; that they, the employers, have no feeling in the matter but that experience has left them with the notion that this is so and that what they are after is results and not race sentiment, and that they had found the girls and young men of fairer complexion more efficient. White employers who were interviewed said that the colored people would not permit colored collectors and clerks to take care of their accounts. They pointed to the fact that they had to have their businesses operated with the least amount of friction possible, and that the rank and file of colored patrons always resented the appearance of colored clerks and collectors. One case of very recent occurrence is typical. A credit furniture house employs a colored man as order clerk. His duties are to see that orders are kept moving and that the proper records are kept of such business as is transacted during his hours of duty. During the middle of last January a certain colored, lady who maintained an account with his house had fallen into arrears. The regular collector of the house was otherwise engraved and the head of the department of accounts in the establishment innocently dispatched the colored order clerk to the apartment of the delinquent lady to make the collection. When the man arrived the lady inquired what he wanted. He stated that he had been sent to make a collection on her account for the furniture house. The lady became enraged and, after abusing and berating the man, refused to pay him any money, and went to the credit house full and are generally instituted for purely material or commercial gain and advantage. The person against whom judgment is rendered generally takes same philosophically, with the declaration: "Someone will make up for it," inferring that he will soon get a palavre on someone else to even up the account. In short, they are much like other people. Mr. Hudson then describes several trials. He also gives an interesting account of the manner of settling domestic troubles in what are known as "woman palavrea." Other interesting articles in the February. number of the Messenger are: "Is Marriage a Failure?" "A Survey of Negro Literature," by Thomas L. Ox Abraham." The Bible is replete with denunciation of all attempt to limit the ministration of religion to any particular race or breed of men. It seems to be the clear intention of the Christian Bible that spiritual kinship should transcend all human relations. The Apostle Paul sums up the whole matter in his oft-repeated declaration that, under the Christian dispensation, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free." H. G. Wells points out in his universal history that the Roman Empire paved the way for the easy spread of a common cult, in that its one hundred million citizens and subjects were, in the main, of the same race or color. Could Christianity have made so rapid and widespread a conquest if it had had to adjust itself to the racial chasms and color schemes as they exist in the world today? This question is easy to ask and hard to answer. The race question was newer so sharp and determined in the history of mankind until the Nordic became dominant in the world. Blue eyes and white skin and faxen hair did not seem to give Saxon slaves any especial preferment in the eyes of his Roman master. Even the Hebrews, who have been the most exclusive race in history, do not show any particular prejudice against or preference for the excluded Gentile because of his race or color. But with the coming of Teentonic power, the fellowship of the flesh counts for more than the brotherhood of the spirit- ro's Se of fight and highly indignant. When the head of the house assured her that this man was a regular employee of the house and had been so employed for more than seven years and had proven satisfactory, she replied that she would not stand for any "black nigger" being sent to her house to collect from her. The credit man assured the writer that the store was crowded with other colored people at the time and that he felt humiliated that the lady should take such an attitude against a man of her own race. He further pointed out that the lady had made no complaint that the colored man had been rude to her, and had based her objections to his approach purely upon the grounds of color. Another case was that of a colored clerk in a delicatessen store on Lenox avenue, whose proprietor was forced to dispense with the services of a colored man for the reason that he was constantly in hot water with the customers who felt that however much he tried to please them, they preferred a white clerk to wait on them. Then, too, there is the attitude of the colored patient who believes that a white physician is safer during his illness than is a colored physician. A colored, physician told the story of how he had been called in one evening by a husband to attend his wife. He said that when he entered the room of the patient she told her husband that she would, under no circumstances, permit a colored physician to attend her. This self-contempt is based upon the results of slavery, rather than upon any innate racial traits, as many white writers would have us think. The colored man and woman have been taught during more than three hundred years of slavery that the white man represents in color and behavior all of the high qualities of excellence and proper conduct. They have had to compete up- ley; "Negro Farm Demonstration Work in Alabama." by George Gay Daniel; "Negro Labor and Public Utilities," and the usual departments dealing with Negro business and indus- President Borno President Borno and the Negro SEVERAL times recently the information far and of Haiti has expressed States will not appoint a Lister to the Haitian Republic this is true, but it cannot SEVERAL times recently press dispatches have carried the information far and wide that President Borno of Haiti has expressed the desire that the United States will not appoint a Negro as United States Minister to the Haitian Republic. It is not known whether this is true, but it cannot be that the men (mostly Ne- By DANIEL W. CHASE (For the Associated Negro Press.) The Lutheran Reformation divided Europe along race lines. The Nordics became Protestants; the non-Nordics, in the main, abided in the Catholic faith. The line of cleavage is almost identical with the spirit of racial tolerance. The Catholic powers came into touch with the weaker and darker races in all parts of the earth and, although there was slavery, cruelty and exploitation according to the spirit and method of the times, yet the darker people became benevolently assimilated in the religious, political and social scheme. But wherever the Nordic touches them with the blighting finger of intolerance and exclusiveness, they seem to wither and decay as a leaf in autumn. In Central and South America the Indian and African races survive either in their own identities or through the, commingling of blood. In the United States the Indian has gone and the Negro who supplanted him is mortally anxious about his present and future status. Protestant America carries race prejudice to Catholic Cuba and Porto Rico. Nordic Europe is wrought into frenzy because Catholic France treats the native African as a backward brother, and not as an impossible alien. In America the Ku Klux Klan is frankly based upon the Protestant religion, the vital principle of whose creed is to place and fix all non-white Americans in a permanently inferior status. Where Blood Is More Powerful Than Religion Catholic states are superior to lf-Conte on a basis of color and complexion, rather than upon a basis as among white people—of merit and performance. Consequently, they have an utter disrespect for each other, and a corresponding respect for the white race and for all things said and done by white people. The entire education of the race is in the hands of persons whose background leads them to feel that the colored race is inferior and that the white race is superior. Since social stratification has not, as yet, been well established among the colored race, the abiding mental leftovers from slavery are still with us and we have not as yet grown out of the habit of estimating our values in terms of whiteness. It is a common thing to hear the colored man or woman advocating such and such a cause because white people have said that so and so is good or bad. A colored man in Harlem may be a good physician, a good lawyer, tailor, or plumber; but until white people have placed their stamp of recognition and approval upon him he has no standing among members of his own race. Take the colored writers, preachers, lecturers, and race leaders. They may possess excellences of high character for years, but unless a white man or a white group happens along and lauds their work they are likely to remain in obscurity. An inch of praise from a white newspaper is accepted with greater relish by the colored masses than a page from the colored press. A colored artist, musician, singer or painter will produce rare gems of his art for years and present it to his colored brother; but until some white man exploits his talents and presents him to black folk, he remains unsung and unheralded. The Harlem Negro is less excusable for this state of mind than are the Negroes from any other part of the world. His opportunities for self-inspection and try, The Negro Theatre, Negro Sports, Shafts and Darts, The Critic, reviews of new books of interest to Negroes, and the manifold activities of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. and the Negro press dispatches have carried wide that President Borno the desire that the United Negro as United States Min.

The trouble may in all probability be with that little country of many moods and much romancing. Protestant countries in controlling the virulence and rancor of race prejudice. In Brazil the African element is as large or larger in proportion than in the Southern States. But race relations are more kindly and friendly in tone in Rio de Janeiro than they are in Richmond, Va. In fostering the spirit and power of initiative, in arousing the dominant forces which conquer and bring things to pass, the Protestant powers are easily in van of progress. Their dominance over natural and physical forcez, however, fails to produce a harmonious adjustment among different breeds of men. The Nordic has never yielded his race prejudice to the requirements of the Christian religion. With him blood is not only thicker than water, but more powerful than morality and religion. With the Teuton, philanthropic kindness and social recognition are not incompatible attributes. He professedly loves the soul but hates the body of those whose blood differs from his own. He will build schools and colleges, establish hospitals and saluums, will give of his substance and his service to carry the light to the dark nooks and corners of the earth, but his empt An Inch of Praise paper Is Accepted by the Colored M in the Co self-valuation are greater. He is able to see the white man in his naked life of vulgarity and ignorance to a greater degree than the Negroes of other sections of the country. Yet, he, too, has joined in the long procession of those of the race who hold each other in utter contempt. The Harlem Negro must undergo a new change of values in his race relations; he must seek to develop the best that is in his group without regard to the color of the individual. He should take the broad position that the future of the Black City must have a quantitative, as well as a qualitative, character. It is of course true that the race is, as a general rule, abnormal in its thinking. It is true that the pressure of the white man's environment has left the Negro mentally unfit to make normal appraisal of the qualities of his race without regard to the element of color and complexion. But if the Negro who resides in areas where there is less mental pressure from the propaganda organs and instruments of the white man cannot avoid the devastating result of his hate and race prejudice, what hope is there for those who are directly under the white man's heels? It must be realized, too, that we are sometimes sensitive on this point; that we are prone to read into the actions and behavior of other persons our own ideas; but in the larger and more comprehensive view of the Harlem Negro there does exist a definite contempt for his own. When the school children are seen returning to their homes, groes) who have been sent public have not been good probability be with that little much romancing. All the Negroes sent there have been not only men of scholarly attainments, but men of known character. Names like these to conjecture with are known in history as celebrated men of mark, for they include Frederick Douglas, John M. Langston, and Harry W. Furnies, all of whom filled the positions creditably. Ebenezer D. Bassett of Philadelphia was the first colored man sent to Haiti. He filled the position, not only creditably but with distinction. Mr. Bassett tough Teutonic spirit bulks at the suggestion of the concrete brotherhood of man. Several years ago, it may be recalled, during the Episcopal Convention in Richmond, the Bishop of New York invited the Bishop of Haytl to be his dinner guest. This simple act of normal courtesy almost wrecked the gathering of the elect of a religion whose basic creed avows belief in the communion of the saints. If the Founder and Head of the Church had chanced to visit Richmond at that time, what would He have said and done? Would He have treated the prejudice mongers as severely as he did the money, changers on an occasion of provocation? Will Christianity be able to overcome the Nordic race prejudice, or must it strike a compromise? The carnally minded Norvice, who is now dominant in the material affairs of the world, has lapsed into flesh idolatry. He has made a graven image of whitenees and bcws down and worships it with a reverence surpassing that which he renders to any other God. With him the decree of color has the strongest controlling sanction. He deems it.more blessed to be white than to be right. From a White News- With Greater Relishasses Than a Page Ored Press the writer has heard them refer to each other as "black and ugly." He has hear the mothers and grown-ups refer to other grown-ups in the same words. Those in high position will wink and make the sly remark that "we could not think of employing him or her in our office, for he looks just like an ape." The phrase is often employed that so and so is not "representative" and therefore cannot be used to the best advantage regardless of the qualities of the individual. This is the same practice that the race has complained of against white people. This is the same kind of intolerance that has caused the white race to set up barriers against black folk all over the world. This is the kind of policy which has given rise to certain attitudes detrimental to the Negro race which now provall all over the white world. The difficulty with this kind of contempt is that the colored press, the pulpit and the leaders have been silent about it; meanwhile, it has grown to alarming proportions. Walter White says in the "New Negro" that "there has grown up among Negroes a new spirit of discrimination, in which the lightest Negroes refuse to have anything to do with the darker Negroes, and have even refused right out to have them as their mates in marriage." The writer believes that the best way to eradicate an evil is to cry out against it.

The celebrated Philadelphia Press had not gone out of business then, and Mr. Durham was for many years associated with Charles Emory Smith on that paper.

H." signed to a letter to the editor of the New York Herald Tribune, published Sunday, we do not know the identity of the person who has rushed to the defense of Aiken, South Carolina, in its most recent lynching orgy, during which two men and a woman were done to death. We quote from the letter, as follows: The writer recently spent several weeks in Aiken, and, although his eyes are in excellent condition, did not observe a single instance of racial hostility. In the case of minor offenders brought up at the police court, Negroes are treated with more lenency than whites. The colored law-breakers frequently elect to work out their very reasonable sentences on the roads, becoming members of the so-called "chain gang," a term which in the public mind is a synonym for cruel hardship and abuse. The Negroes of the chain gang, however, obviously find life pleasant enough. They are not compelled to work very hard. A happy-go-lucky crew, they are content so long as they have food and shelter. The Southern sun shines just as brightly on road menders as on a millionaire rolling along in a Rolls-Royce. Moreover, Negro members of the gang are allowed to go to their homes at night. The white officials know that they will be on hand in the morning, and very sensibly take the view that there is no necessity for keeping them cooped up in jail over night. Surely it stands to reason that this privilege would not be granted unless the general attitude of whites toward Negroes was a kindly one. Instead of being treated as dangerous criminals, colored persons who commit small breaches of the law are regarded as naughty but lovable children, for Southernners really like Negroes and understand them. Colored servants on plantations in South Carolina still show a marked feudal dependency and feudal loyalty. In return they are allowed all sorts of little privileges. The contention that Negro prisoners are well treated in South Carolina is further borne out by this paragraph, which appeared in a Charleston newspaper on December 25 last: "County Sheriff Joseph M. Poulnot has arranged plenty of smoking tobacco for the prisoners in the county jail. From a local cigar company he has purchased 100 packages of cigarettes and twenty-five tons of pipe tobacco. The prisoners will get these tomorrow with the Sheriff's compliments." The great majority of prisoners referred to are Negroes. "LOVABLE CHILDREN." In the words the writer of this letter sur- the attitude Aiken and a large po- m of the South prefers to adopt the words the Negro. Why should Negro and guilty of minor infractions of the may be dealt with more leniently theite offenders? And why this sees generosity in minor offenses aith damnable denial of justice in s "LOVABLE CHILDREN." In these two words the writer of this letter sums up the attitude Aiken and a large portion of the South prefers to adopt towards the Negro. Why should Negroes found guilty of minor infractions of the law be dealt with more leniently than white offenders? And why this seeming generosity in minor offenses and such damnable denial of justice in serious offenses? WE KNOW OF INSTANCES where colored members of chain gangs in the South and these chain gangs are made up almost exclusively of colored men have been beaten most unmercifully by guards without cause. Many are those who have been killed outright EDITORIAL PAGE in their chains. Yet, this observe would have us believe that those so un fortunate as to be sentenced to labor for the county or state without pay are a "happy-go-lucky crew," and that the work they perform is pleasant as big a lie as has ever been printed. THE PRIVILEGES extended are not privileges at all. They are a part of South Carolina's system of oppression to hold the Negro down, to keep him in subjection and instill in him a spirit of paternalism to keep from dealing with him as a man and citizen. "They're Red Hot!" "THEY'RE RED HOT." This phrase, long associated with the humble frankiurter, is now used to designate stolen articles brought to Harlem for resale at prices below their initial cost of manufacture. This, however, does not mean that they are not paid for in some negotiable commodity. WE CANNOT SAY that these articles are sold only to the unsuspecting, the unwary, for the boast is often heard that Miss So-and-So has just bought herself a "red hot" fur coat—meaning, of course, that the coat had been stolen. Nor is this so-called "red hot stuff" confined to ladies' and gents' wearing apparel; auto accessories, jewelry, rugs, almost every conceivable article under this stigma, seemingly, finds ready sale in Harlem. Consequently, Harlem is fast becoming known in police circles as a fencing station for thieves, robbers and burglars. A COMMUNITY reputation of this kind is damaging to the entire community; and no matter what the saving seemingly effected in cash by the individual making such purchases, the whole community is called upon to pay the difference, not in cash, but in self-respect — in those things which afford an easy excuse for the prejudiced-bound business executive to deny an opportunity to aspiring Negroes. All Negroes don't steal, any more than all members of any other race group, but our enemies profess not to believe it and are happy when their belief receives the slightest justification. INSIDE AND OUTSIDE the law, the person who knowingly buys articles known to have been stolen is about as guilty as the thief himself. In fact, he is more guilty, for unless the thief can find a ready market for his "red hot stuff," there is little incentive for him to steal. This means that the professional man's wife, the business man's wife, the business woman, the business man, who knowingly and willingly buys stolen articles, is but little better than the thief, a cog in the wheel which motivates the so-called underworld, and lends aid to a system of law-breaking which hurts us all. Young China Rebels THE NEW YEAR'S CARD IDEA has been pressed into service by Young China in the promotion of an anti-Christian campaign, and greeting cards bearing the following message are being circulated freely all over the empire: "Down with Christianity. "1. Christianity is a tool of world imperialism. "2. Christianity is not scientific. "3. Christianity helps to subject the weak nation in slavery. "4. Christianity Fools the feeble-minded, weak students. "5. Christians conspire with despicable vagrants and outlaws. "6. Christians are taking advantage of unequal treaties to influence law-suits. "7. Christians occupy Chinese premises by force. "8. Christians intervene with the RUSSIA [Name] In Russia would seem to justify all that Russia has had to pay for the change. It did not surprise me to find the Jews making fun of some of our religious hypocrisies in their theatre performance. They were playing a sort of parade on "The Ten Commandments." They had angels and "saints" and the devil in the play, and, of course, some sinners. I noticed that the devil was really better looking and more attractive in all his ways than any of the others. And the agilest character in the whole drama was a certain "good" angel, who kept flapping his wings around until he finally fell in love with one of "the daughters of men." whereupon he promptly took off his wings and her fig leaf and tied them to a pulley rope that was suddenly let down from the sky, and sent these inconvenient articles and emblems back to heaven. The scene later shifted to heaven, where they were holding high court. Nearly everybody before the court confessed to "two wives" or "two husbands," and we noticed that the recording angels condemned the good-looking young lady sinners to be secretaries to the recording angels. And, as the worst sentence thinkable the whole batch of old sinners were condemned "to stay forever in heaven." This seemed to be such a severe sentence that the unhappy prisoners finally made a conspiracy with the devil and got him to lead them off to his abode. When they arrived in the Satanic domain we noticed that it was freedom of matrimony. A clean sweep of all Christian influence in China. Wishing you a happy New Year." JOSEPH A.

A Federal grand jury has brought indictments against two Mississippi farmers for violation of the peonage law, and the investigation in that State and in Louisiana has only just begun. The system of enslavement is simple and effective; Negro tenant farmers have no money; the plantation stores are ready to furnish credit, payment for goods purchased to be made out of the proceeds of the crop. No accounts are kept, and when the season is over the Negro finds that he owes the plantation owner money which he must take out in work the following year. Negroes who protest are, if the owner is a polite and generous hearted fellow, kicked quietly outdoors. More drastic action, however, has been known to result from too much temerity. Where the black man is filiterate, impoverished, and ignorant of his civil rights he has no protection whatever from this sort of exploitation. And lynching is only one step away. The latest mob murder—as we go to press—cook place on February 1 in Texas. Jailed for cutting a white man's throat, a Negro was sent for cutting a white man's throat, a foul play," in an automobile with two deputies to the nearest town where proper protection might be expected. All the usual things happened and the Negro was hanged. The mob was unmasked; a young woman in town, according to the Houston Press, said she knew three hours before that the lynching was to take place and was sorry that her work prevented her from attending. The sheriff declared that he was "making every effort to find the leaders of the molh," but "it is very difficult. There were many strangers in town (Conroe, Texas, population about 500) that day, and no one was able to get a good description of the men."

He did not appear egotistic to me. After I had cut my visit short with him to rush to the showing of the revolutionary picture, "Potemkin," a woman at the show place, hearing that I had left Trotzky to come to the movies, remarked: "Well, I am glad for once that somebody did that to Trotzky; everybody in this town would crawl on his face for five minutes' interview with Trotzky." Strange, maybe, but I had never felt that there was anything unusual in the whole situation. Perhaps every eminent man is doomed to some such reputation. In the course of our conversation it dawned upon Trotsky that there are white people in America who are members of every movement for the uplift of the American Negro, and be asked, with a twinkle in his eye: "Do the white people in your organization do it much her" Later he elaborated: "If any white people come into an organization of Negro people out of a feeling of 'sympathy' and 'benevolence', they will do more harm to the organization than they could ever do good: because they will look down on the Negro and feel themselves to be superior. The only way in which they could be helpful would be to come in as equals, as comrades in a common struggle for the common good." We do not need to make any comment on those words of Trotzky; every Negro organization of which we know is a plain comment on them, one way or the other. THEATRE AND CHURCH. On Saturday night I went to the Jewish theatre, and on Sunday morning to one of the great old Russian orthodox churches. The Jews are now free in Russia, and when one remembers what a hell Russia was for the Jew, for generations, the present freedom of the Jew (From The Nation.) A Negro in Beecher's Pulpit It was a fine bit of sentiment to have the Negroes of the Nazarene Congregational Church worship with members of Plymouth at a Lincoln memorial meeting in the historic church, and to have a Negro, the Nazarene pastor, the Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, occupy the pulpit of Henry Ward Beecher. Also there was a thrill for old Brooklynites when the preacher said: Plymouth Church is the fountain head of the liberty of my race. On.Feb.6,1860.Mr. Beecher sold a slave girl into freedom on the spot where I now stand. On Feb.26,1860.Abrahman Lincoln worshiped in this church, occupying Pew 89, on my right. On Sept.22,1862.Mr. Lincoln immortalized his name by signing the Emancipation Proclamation. Dr. Proctor, who has been honored by his white fellow pastors with the position of Moderator of the New York Association of Congregational Churches, is a man of cultivation and thoughtfulness. He had a right to say with pride: "The Negro race has not yet produced an atheist or an anarchist." There could have been no better representative of the 75,000 colored people in Brooklyn on such an occasion. As the clergyman put it: "The colored race is incorrigibly religious." Its greatest racial temptation is to "substitute hate for love," as the clergyman indicated, but his faith in the continued dominance of Christian patience is not unpleasant optimistic. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Business Has No Color To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. My Dear Sir: It is very difficult for us to find words to express our kind appreciation for your wonderful editorial concerning our business. We are much indebted to you for the picture of our business you presented to the public through The Amsterdam News. We have gone on daily, working hard for one year and a half, to give our group in Harlem a men's shop in which it could feel proud. We are seeking to attract our people to our shop, not from the point of view of the business being "colored" (for business has no color), but from the point of view that we are conducting it on a business basis, and nothing else. Our group can no longer try to build business on "color" alone. Business methods count in the long run. We are happy to learn that you have noted that we have been able to meet the competition of others in our line in this city. There is not one single instance in which we have been accused of selling our merchandise higher than our competitors; but there are several instances in which we have undersold them. We shall continue to strive to merit all that you said of us. With best wishes for your wonderful paper, which is doing such splendid work for our group here in Harlem, we are Very sincerely yours.

Finally, Abraham and Moses, and some of the other archangels and secretaries, hearing the merry voices and the whistling coming up from the underworld, slipped out of heaven, and sneaked down to join in the good time, too. The crowd roared when Moses, coming in sheepshall, said that he had come down because he wanted to "whistle some, too." All of which was not a bit more sacrilegious than Bert Williams' famous monologue to the same effect. And the acting was wonderful: the girl and man who did the dance of death would be supreme artists anywhere. Then Sunday morning we went to church. After seeing both the theatrical performance and the church service, it occurred to us what a wrong opinion any person would get who saw only one of these two. Seeing the theatre, he would conclude that Russia is all religion and superstition. The crowd at the theatre was largely workers and intellectuals; the congregation at the church was the two extremes—peasant and bourgeois. The great stone-floored cathedral has no seats; the congregation stands during service, which is long. Some kneel on the cold stones and bow and cross themselves continually for hours. The thermometer was far below zero, and it was not much warmer in the church than out of doors. Everybody kept his great coat on. The churches are filled with wealth, even after some of it was taken away by the government during the famine some years ago—according to what we heard in the States. The great aggregations and rows and circles of burning candles sicken one. I counted 300 candles, and then got tired and stopped counting. It was more interesting counting candles than listening to the weird chanting of the priest. But, oh, the singing! That was superb. The soprano and tenor voices of that choir! While the priest hummed his intonations and waved his mimicry, they sang, and their voices and feeling were more like that of the American Negroes than anything else I have ever heard anywhere in the world. If one listened only to the music and paid no attention to the Russian language, he might have (From the Brooklyn Eagle) Very sincerely yours. Keeping Fit By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Purgatives and Cathartics MANY people believe that one of the chief measures for treating or preventing disease is a thorough purgation of the alimentary canal — a complete emptying of the intestines by a cathartic. They also believe that if no improvement occurs immediately a second dose of some purgative is absolutely necessary. This belief is not founded upon absolute scientific facts. The removal of putrefactive material from the intestines is the aim in using of a purgative. Putrefaction takes place mainly in the large intestine where the end-products of protein intestinal changes occur. These end-products are known as indol and skatol. If these chemical by-products are excessive in amount, their absorption in the lower bowel will cause disease, with its ac- companying symptoms of pain or discomfort. It becomes necessary therefore to prevent excessive putrefaction or the absorption of its by-products. These putrefactive by-products may be removed by an enema in most cases, for the enema cleanses the lower bowel, that part of the intestines where the putrefaction is occurring. If a cathartic is taken, it too sweeps out putrefactive material, but it also sweeps out unabsorb been hearing some of the greater spiritual songs of the American Negro. But undoubtedly the church does not hold the same place of respect in Russia that it once held. In the first place, it made the mistake to keep on talking about "heaven" when men were starving to death in a famine and needed "bread." Eternal life was no substitute for temporal hunger. The church had more respect for its sacred brass and silver plate than for the perishing bodies of children and babies, so that the government had to take some of its wealth by force during a great famine. And it is not at all unlikely that the officers of government went too far—took advantage of the situation to rob and plunder. Neither side is usually without fault or guilt in such a proceeding. OK REVIEW thing New in Prayer BOOK Something N BOOK REVIEW AN ANSWER FOR EVERY PRAYER, by John Thomas Patterson. Published by Elizabeth Towne Co., Inc., Holyoke, Mass. Price $1.60. Again, the church under the Czar was identified with Czarism, and heaven seemed to be allied with the oppressor. The Czars and priests claimed the special favor and protection of heaven, and so when the people beat the Czar and his Cossacks they had a first feeling that they had beat the Czar and all his allies, including heaven and the church. The reaction after a successful revolution against a heaven-buttressed government is sure. The Russians are sure to come around to a more reasonable view of religion than the one they destroyed with the Czar. This new and startling book, which has flashed like a glowing meteor before the world of modern thought, will prove a revelation to you in practical prayer. It is a book that will thrill skeptic and scoffer, agnostic and Christian alike, by its simple truth, clear logic, compelling facts and fascinating personal incidents. Sincerity and understanding vibrate from every word, line and page of this truly remarkable work. The author lives close to the great throbbing heart of humanity. He, too, has known sorrow and suffering. While the prophetic insight of the author will amaze and astonish you on almost every page, yet every incident, every statement, is brought right down to a basis of everyday, practical application in ordinary human life. MUSIC Chambres' Organ Recital In this modern age, fine organ programs are comparatively rare and beautiful organ playing rarer. But Ulysses G. Chambres, artist pupil of several distinguished organists, assisted by Ethel Huntman Chambres, violinist, succeeded in accomplishing both in his recital at the St. Mark's M. E. Church a week ago Monday. A clean and facile technique, a wealth of musical understanding, an emotional soul and vivid imagination, coupled with that sincerity of purpose so essential to true artistry, were displayed by Mr. Chambres. His artistry was particularly evident in the Bach Toccata and Fugue, the Liszt Prelude and ..... companying symptoms of pain or discomfort. It becomes necessary therefore to prevent excessive putrefaction or the absorption of its by-products. These putrefactive by-products may be removed by an enema in most cases, for the enema cleanses the lower bowel, that part of the intestines where the putrefaction is occurring. If a cathartic is taken, it too sweeps out putrefactive material, but it also sweeps out unabsorbed food which is required by the system, and it extracts a large amount of water from the tissues of the body. Purgation also irritates the intestinal lining. For this reason, therefore, purgatives should be taken only on the advice of a physician who knows from your examination when the purgation is absolutely necessary. The loss of fluid and of food by purgation is especially injurious to a person already weakened by some organic or functional disease. Purgation by a cathartic is absolutely injurious just before an operation. It is harmful in any intestinal occlusion such as by twisting, adhesions or fecal blocking. It is positively injurious in acute appendicitis or any acute abdominal inflammatory conditions. Acute colds should be treated by the administration of fluids into the body. Therefore an enema is indicated and not a purgative. Acute infectious diseases, such as acute congestion of the lungs, pumponia, scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, require the administration of water to aid the kidney elimination of the toxic infectious products. The giving of an enema in these cases accomplishes this result while n purgative removes water from the system. . The indiscriminate use of a purgative as is common today is unwarranted and injurious. The proper diet and the use of an enema when needed is the more scientific and beneficial. Fugue on Bach and the very difficult Thiele Variations in a flat Ethel Huffman Chambres assisted most admirably with two groups of violin selections. Young, charming and brimful of musical talent. Mrs. Chambres indeed played with beauty of tone, firm technique, excellent intonation and musicianly interpretation.

Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Mledge and Mrs. Mays sang spirals and other members in trio. The proceeds from the recital will go for Business Girls' Summer Conference Fund. NEGRO ASSOCIATION STARTED IN FRANCE PARIS, France. Feb. 24. An association for the protection of colored people and to tighten the attachment of the Negro colonies to France has been formed here, according to an announcement made Tuesday by an official of the organization. The publication of a magazine called the "Voice of the Negro" is also announced. The purpose of this publication, it is said, will be to create a better understanding between the races.

Speaking of Lincoln's attitude on slavery, he said that it was between two extremes, between the abolitionists and the pro-slavery faction, which predominated in the North. Lincoln, he said, opposed slavery from the start, but when he came into the Presidency he found himself forced to act according to the Constitution, which upheld slavery. Lincoln returned the fugitive slave; his great passion was to preserve the Union first. "He hated slavery for its demoralizing effect on white men, because it made them attack all men, even the Declaration of Independence, because it said that all men were born free and equal. "The great work leading toward the abolition of slavery was really done by Frederick Douglass, Garrison, Wendell Phillips, John Brown, and others," he said. Pickens was vigorously applauded at the close of his address.

Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenth of the cases of stomach bladder infection contain stomach gas, bloating, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, the primary cause of a lack of digestive juice. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is impaired, and the diseasable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestants are not needed in most cases. Try laying inside all digestive aids and instead get from any drugstretcher a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice to take a teaspoonful in a quarter flask of water right after eating. This will form a thick formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain.

NEW YORK CITY "Notary Public" NOTARY PUBLIC GIRLS ARRESTED IN RAID ON REVUE "Shuffle Along" at the Lincoln This Week BestAmusementPages in Greater New York Shows Must Be Better This Year, Says Lafayette Manager Frank Schiffman Says Offerings Will Be Vigorously Censored and Looks for Great Results To those of us who are fully alive to the trend of the times will come that elusive success which so many seek but which so many miss because of a dumb tenacity to hold on to opinions which have become moss-grown with age. Frank Schiffman, who represents the Brecher interests in this neck of the woods and the general manager at the Lafayette Theatre, cannot be numbered among those we had in mind when we wrote the opening paragraph of this article. If we could find no better instance we could at least point to the fact that the operators are still parading in front of the Lafayette after many months of silent battle and those hectic weeks when even long-standing friendships were at the breaking point. In the face of the firm stand of men with vision for the correcting of certain evils on the speaking stage, it is gratifying to find men like Schiffman joining with the big Broadway managers and producers being ready to voluntarily keep from the stage anything with a tendency to hang to the border line of salaciousness in the future, and this despite the fact that no charge has been openly made against his productions. Aside from this phase of the question, Mr. Schiffman also informed the writer that, while he is perfectly satisfied with the success which has crowned his efforts since coming into the Lafayette, he will insist that the offerings coming into his house be of a higher standard this year. To back up this stand, which will most likely involve a larger expenditure in presenting such shows, the picture end of the entertainment to be offered at the Lafayette will be of an unusually high order, and if at some time there be some slight advance in prices, we do not believe that patrons of this house will find any just reason for protest. That Manager Schiffman is fully appreciative of our stand taken for the presentation of the best, without asking that the theatre go to any expense to do those things which we consider right, was seen in the manner in which he not only received Clarence E. Muse with enthusiasm when the former dramatic star first appeared at the theatre under his management, but gave Muse a welcome here a few weeks back which forces us to the conclusion that the general manager of the Lafayette Theatre is not one whit against us for any stand we see fit to take where the Negro in theatricals is concerned. New Show Sent From Lafayette Frank Schiffman Behind Alabam' Revue, Which Opened Big at Standard Theatre Right in line and in keeping with what Mr. Frank Schiffman of the Brecher interests had to say to us recently anent his demand for better shows, personal censorship, etc.. comes the information from Philadelphia that the "Club Alabam' Revue" opened to a big house at the Standard Theatre. We understand that Mr. Schiffman is now behind this big revue, which went into rehearsal some weeks ago and which came under his personal supervision during the time the piece was getting ready here The show will play Baltimore and Washington, with possibly other cities, before it returns here for a big opening at the Lafayette. We can assure Mr. Schiffman that we will all watch with interest his action in taking an open "filler" in producing. We say open because we are fully aware of the fact that he has had to "produce", quite a number of those ruins before they were in any shape, to show at the Lafayette. With his declared intent of doing those things which he feels should be considered timely, the energetic manager will find this paper on the firing line as much for him in his attitude as he, while not verbose about it, felt that he had reason to feel different where we are concerned. Well, all's well that ends well and we look forward to seeing a bigger and better day at the old Lafayette. Formerly of "Tea for Two" THE WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM MISS MARTHA GILCHRIST Went to Europe With Billie Pierce's "Tea for Two Girls" and Returned Here at the Conclusion of the Engagement. She Entertained a Number of Her Friends at Her Home on St. Nicholas Avenue at a Birthday Party Last Tuesday Evening. Big Party for Miss Gilchrist Birthday Anniversary Fittingly Celebrated by Actress and Friends It was way into the early morning before the large gathering departed from the home of Miss Martha Gilchrist, 695 St. Nicholas avenue. Tuesday evening, February 8. for the occasion was one where in the many friends of the young lady took occasion of the opportunity not only to congratulate her for having covered another milestone in life, but for the sumptuous repast which included viands that would have tickled the taste of a connoisseur. It was Miss Gilchrist's birthday party and she left nothing undone as hostess to a large gathering to prove her joy for their presence and all presented voted it one of the best of the season. Miss Gilchrist went to Europe with that aggregation of entertainers which included the Misses Aurelia Wheedling and Emma Maitland, the latter two returning home as perfect mitt ladies. In cluded in the large gathering which came under the focus of the all-seeing eyes of an Amsterdam News representative were the Misses Gladys Powell, May Jessup, Brown, Garth, Rose McNell, Rachel Draggon, Pauline Chambers, Emma Maitland, Gertrude Chambers, Gertrude Fayde, McCrory, Henery, Mrs. Eugenia Smith, Mrs. Alice Smith, Mrs. Helen King and Miss Lillian Haywood. Among the gentlemen were Messrs. B. L. Borden, L. Vermont. Philip Brown, Jack Brooks, Edgar Berry, James Eaton, W. A. Cohen, W. McClain, John Moore, Edward Elcha, Percy Sears, Henry Gartle, Thomas Brown, Thomas Sweet, Jacob Powell, Lieut. Robert Pollard, Dr. Philip Brooks, Senor "Chico" and Mr. King. Sidney Easton and Joe Simms at the Lincoln Tab Version of the Old Success "Shuffle Along" Going Niceiy at Mrs. Downs' Theatre Joe Slimms and Sidney Easton are heading the cast appearing in the tab version of "Shuffle Along" now at the Lincoln Theatre. Slimms took the part of Lyles when the old partners drifted apart and with Lew Peyton staged a long run with the show which met with success on the road some years back. Joe played twenty-two weeks with the production and when it appeared some months ago again returned to Gotham in the role which he has handled successfully right along. As "Sam Peck" he is a wow and with Sidney Easton working opposite in the role which Miller handled to such good effect in the original production. Lincoln audiences are enjoying splendid entertainment this week. Laura La Plante Here This Week In Leading Role at the Roosevelt Theatre in 'Butterflies in the Rain' While the Flapper age has gained strong foothold in the United States what is happening in England? Certainly something and if you want the legitimate "dope" told via the screen in a startling and dramatic way it is our advice to go to the Roosevelt Theatre before "Butterflies in the Rain" departs for another city. And besides, you will see the girl whom we consider without a doubt the most beautiful and sparkling on the screen in this modern age of stiff competition between the beauties of the world for screen prominence. Laura La Plante—that's her name. She's blonde, petite and has two of the most entrancing dimples in her cheeks. Even if the picture wasn't good we could stand to see it if Laura was in it. But here we have a literal "knockout" of a story directed with consummate skill by Edward Sloman, the successful maker of "Lits People" and "The Old Soak." The story is well constructed, well directed and with flawless acting. James Kirkwood, who shares the stellar honors, is very good in his role, playing the repressed but idealistic Englishman with true feeling. Kirkwood is one of the best actors on the screen* and makes an attractive screen mate for Miss La Plante.

Shirley as Rose plays the part of a girl who is in love with an impetuous, restless but thoroughly lovable boy who is eternally championing various causes. She weathers him through the storms with courage and loyalty, and when the war breaks out and the chap turns Bolshevist. Rose is put to the supreme test of love and devotion. However, with the boy's honor at stake she spares nothing in order to inspire him to the right way of thinking and guide him to enlist for his country. After some tense moments and a smashing climax everything is worked out satisfactorily and both find that their roads lead to the same goal of happiness. The boy's part is played by Johnny Harron, who imbues role with sympathy and poignant realism. Others in the cast are excellent. Each part is an outstanding interpretation and the picture, made under the peerless direction of Phil Rosen, will be remembered as a gem of a character delineation. The adaptation and continuity were made by J. Grubb Alexander from John Moroso's story "The Stumbling Herd." BENEFI BENEFIT --- FOR THE --- A.C.F.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn unanimously upheld all the provisions of the so-called emergency rent laws Friday, in an opinion written by Justice Harry E. Lewis, with Justices Cropsey and MacCrate concurring. The decision reverses Municipal Court Justice Charles J. Carroll, who, on Oct. 7, 1926, held that Chapter 842 of the rent laws gave to a landlord power summarily to evict a "hold-over" tenant, and did not require the landlord to furnish proof that the tenant was objectionable. The Appellate Division holds that the landlord much show the tenant to be objectionable. In its decision the Appellate Division said: "Upon the trial, the Court stated that the landlord was o. l. required to present the tenant to being over, and that the necessity for proving objectionability no longer existed in view of the provisions of Chapter 842 of the Laws of 1926. By such decision the Court in substance held that Chapter 842 of the Laws of 1926 repealed Chapter 6 of the Laws of 1926. addition to holding over, he was objectionable. By the laws of 1921, Chapter 199, the requirement that the landlord prove the tenant to be objectionable was put in Section 1410. Subdivision I-A.

ACT IS NOT REPEALED. "Chapter 842 does not express words repeal Chapter 6. It is a principle well settled and familiar that a repeal by implication is not favored by law, and especially as between two statutes passed at the same session of the Legislature. A later act will not be deemed to repeal a former one unless the two are manifestly inconsistent and a clear intention to repeal is disclosed by the later statute." The decision then pointed out that the intent of the amended law was made by the report on housing and regional planning presented to the Legislature on Dec. 23, 1925. "It appears therefrom," the decision continued, "that conditions indicated that the height of the emergency had been passed, that the need of protection for families paying $20 per room per month or more in New York City was no longer necessary, but that the housing emergency required legislative interference for at least two months of control whereby adjustments would gradually be made and with as little as possible disturbance of the economic and social structure." The State Board of Housing will hold public hearings, beginning Feb. 14, to ascertain whether there is need of extending the emergency rent laws beyond June 1, 1927, according to an announcement by Darwin it James, President of the board. After the hearings the board will submit its report to the Governor and the Legislature. 160 Acres Given to Baptist Publishing Board NASHVILLE, Teen, Feb. 14.—One hundred and sixty acres of land in New Mexico have been donated to the National Baptist Publishing Board of this city. The donors were Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Ragsdale.

The general boards no longer member Baptist Church out at Doxter, New Mexico. It is understood that this land is valued at between $100 and $150 per acre, and is located in a fertile section of the state. GREENBORO, N. C., Feb. 14.—President Bluford of the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina was notified by the State Department of Education last week that the college had been placed in "A" class. A few days ago, the department of Education inspected its various departments, laboratories and equipment and recommended that the college be given this high rating. TOMMY HARRIS Blinding Pain at Certain Times "I was very weak and thin and used to suffer with very severe headache," says Miss Annie Mae Brown (1221 R. Whitaker St, Binghamham, Ala.) "I would be almost blind, the pain was so severe," she says. "This was when I was just entering the upper classes at school. I didn't want to get behind. I suffered with my back and sides, too. Someone suggested that my mother give me Cardui, for which I am very thankful. I took 6 bottles at that time, and was soon strong and well and did not have severe headaches or pains at certain periods. "Twice since I have been a good student, I have taken Cardui, and it never failed to help me."

Anderson Cheered at Presentation ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 14—A great and representatives interracial audience last Sunday morning witnessed the presentation to the Rev. Will W. Alexander of the William E. Harmon award of a gold medal and $500, in recognition of his work for better race relations. After a few words of acceptance Mr. Alexander called to the platform Miss Amy Chadwick, superintendent of the Leonard Street Home for Colored Orphans, and turned over to her the check for $500 as a donation to the home, Heart applauded greeted this action and many eyes dimmed with tears. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Plato T. Durham of Emory University and the presentation was made by Dr. C. B. Wilmer of the University of the South. Brief appreciative addresses were made by R. H. King, Y. M. C. A. executive for the Southeast, President of the Morehouse College, and Dr. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt University. The principal address of the occasion, an interpretation of the interracial movement, was delivered by Dr. M. Ashby Jones of St. Louis, chairman of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation and one of America's foremost preachers. The Commission was organized in Atlanta in 1919 on an interracial basis. It was the first nearly a hundred of the best known white and colored men and women of the South. Affiliated with it are twelve state committees and several hundred local organizations. Small Budget for Negroes Draws Protest in D. C. The Washington, D. C., Branch of the Association, through its president, Neval H. Thomas, has written a strong letter to Martin B. Madden, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, protesting against the small appropriations for colored schools in the national capital provided in the District Appropriations Bill. This measure, according to Mr. Thomas' letter, "gives the colored people no relief whatever in the matter of allotment of funds for new buildings and grounds for the coming year. It gives us but $425,000 out of a total budget of $2,750,000, or about 15 per cent, when we have 30 per cent of the attendance. Your committee even eliminated the recommendation of the Bureau of the Budget for $100,000 for an addition to Crummel School and for a site for our tuberculosis school so badly needed." In his letter Mr. Thomas again urges elimination of the entire appropriation for bathing beaches in Washington because of the exclusion of colored people from Potomac Park bathing facilities. Mr. Thomas urges that colored citizens in every part of the country write to Representative Martin B. Madden, D.C. Office Building, D.C. C. urging both increase of appropriations for colored people and their institutions in Washington, and denial of all moneys for public bathing until the bar against colored bathers is removed. U.S. MARINES TO STAY IN HAITI UNTIL 1936 WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 14. The U. S. Senate has gone on record as opposing the withdrawal of Marines from Haiti until 1936, as provided by treaty. An amendment by Senator King, Democrat of Utah, to the Naval supply bill, which would have prevented the use of any funds for maintaining the Marines in Haiti, redefined the overwhelming vote. Chairman Hale said that the Government was bound to keep the Marines in Haiti until 1936 under the treaty. TO HOLD CONFERENCE OF LIBERIAN WORKERS HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.

He sold No. 159 West 126th street to Clifford Jones, 2 East 123th street. This is an exceptionally beautiful and attractive house. It has been used for years by its white occupants and its tenants. The purchaser also intends to use it for similar purposes, but he will cater to colored people. Mr. Edwards also sold No. 12 East 129th street to Mrs. Lillian Moore of New Haven, Conn.

A. during 1926, according to the annual statistical report which was submitted last week. Actual figures of attendance total 746,923. In nearly every department of activity carried on by the branch a marked increase both in the scope of work done and in the number of men served is shown over the record achieved in 1925. The report notes an especially large growth in the extent of the religious activities of the branch. The total number of men who attended the meeting planned by the religious program committee was 16,638. This showed an increase of 4,408 over the attendance record of the preceding year. Among the other activities which have enjoyed special growth is the vocational guidance service. This department found jobs for 736 men during the past year as against a record of 696 in 1925. "We feel that a remunerative, satisfying job is of a large importance well balanced life," said Thomas E. Taylor, secretary of the 135th street branch. "We have placed increasing emphasis on vocational guidance work since it is one of the foremost aims of the Y. M. C. A. to aid men to adjust themselves to Christian living." In the dormitories considerable increase is shown in the number of lodgings given. During the year 1925, 79% of the total number of beds used was 60,829, while in 1925 the total number was 59,145. Members of the "Y" showed great interest in the activities offered by the Physical Education Department. The total number who participated in basketball activities was 2,445; in handball, 14,568; in volleyball, 18,665; in indoor baseball, 4,600. Physical examinations were given to 990. A total of 83,907 men used the physical department and 7,066 boys took physical activities at the branch. The social life of the "Y" was particularly active during 1926, the report shows; 1,649 men attended the banquets and socials which were given. The social activities among the boy members of the organization also proved popular with a total attendance of 1,918. Increased interest in the educational phases of the "Y" was also manifested. More than 1,000 men was the total that attended the organization and the activities given under the auspices of the "Y". Among the boys, 1,598 showed interest in the educational activities. "The staff of the 1838 street "T" is very much pleased by the interest shown in education by the "M" members," said Mr. Taylor, secretary of the branch. "We hope to substantially increase the number of men and boys who seek to improve their education during the coming year. Although the majority of the men who attended the courses worked hard all day, they did faithful work for class as well." N. A. A. C. P.
