SECTION ONE VILE ATTACK MADE BY MEN ON SMALL GIRLS CANDIDATES SWAMP CAMPAIGN MANAGER The Amsterdam News' Incomparable Offer Creating Intense Interest --- List of Candidates in This Issue INTENSE interest is being shown in The Amsterdam News "Everybody Wins Campaign," in which approximately $5,000 in prizes will be given away to its readers and friends. Men, women, boys and girls are sending in their nomination blanks with their own name or that of a friend on them, and asking just how to go about winning the prizes. All of these prizes will be given away Absolutely Free to those who take part and turn their spare moments into cash, which would otherwise be wasted, for the next few weeks. You can't possibly lose in this "Everybody Wins Campaign." It does not cost a single penny to enter and win either of the elegant prizes and if you do not land one of the bigger awards you will be paid in cash for whatever effort you may put forth as a candidate in the election, as advertised in the announcement on Page 6. Never before has such a liberal offer been presented to the people of New York and the surrounding community. Never before has such a generous proposition been offered, and it is plainly evident by the rapidly increasing interest shown that the ambitious readers of The Amsterdam News are going to take advantage of this opportunity. Some idea of the keen enthusiasm with which some of the readers are sending in their nomination blanks is shown in expressions made to the Campaign Manager during the little preliminary chats, which occupied most of his time during the past few days.

"Does every active participant receive a prize?" inquired a man. "Yes—just as announced," the manager replied. "Well, if that isn't a liberal proposition, I don't know what is," another candidate remarked, "and if I can win a Brand New Nash Automobile, Special—Six 240, or a guarantee of some other good cash prize as easy as that—believe me, I am going after it and get my share of this Grand Prize Distribution. I know lots of people who will hand me a subscription to The Amsterdam News, which is the method of getting votes." The Campaign Manager assured all candidates that the only way to pile up a big lot of votes is by obtaining subscriptions—both new and renewal, carefully explaining the vote schedule—a copy of which appears also on Page 6. The Campaign Manager thoroughly enjoyed himself talking to and becoming acquainted with candidates, and he is always glad to talk to anyone who cares to have explained some point that may not be exactly clear. His job is to help you—so do not hesitate to call on him. EASY TO GET VOTES and to get subscriptions to the one knows what it is and know, too, that they will be when they subscribe.

SUPREME COURT REVERSES DECISION DECISION REVERSES LOUISIANA JIM CROW ORDINANCE Supreme Court, in Taking Action, Cites Louisville Segregation Law — Already Ruled Unconstitutional WASHINGTON, March 14. —The United States Supreme Court today reaffirmed an earlier decision in which it declared to be unconstitutional laws and ordinances passed in Southern communities designed to segregate the races. The case hinged upon a New Orleans ordinance and two laws of the State of Louisiana stipulating the conditions under which residential property may be occupied by whites and Negroes in communities where the opposite race may be in the majority. Under the ordinance and laws it was provided that owners of property were required to obtain the written consent of the majority of persons in a community before renting property for residential purposes to persons of the other race. The case upon which today's ruling was made was that of Benjamin Harmon, who sought to convert a house in New Orleans into (Continued on Page Two.)

They could have gone to whatever school the whites told them to and be mighty glad to have the chance. "The board of education has the power to pick the school the pupils shall attend.

OIL, NOT BANANA KIND, ENRICHES MAN Yearly Income of $144,000 From Land Almost Lost Through Mortgage CHICAGO, Ill., March 14—The sudden transition from the pangs of poverty to the fabulous income of $144,000 a year very often gives men and the members of their families a mental change that is nothing short of vainglorious dizziness, or in plain words—swellled heads. But this is not the case with John Sewell, who three years ago was working as a janitor in the International Harvester Company building here.

Name Address City State My Dealer's Name is TWO Three years ago Sewell found it quite difficult to provide for his family on the wages he received and save enough to meet the payments on a mortgage on a tract of land he had in Arkansas, near Camden. In fact, he just couldn't make the grade. He needed $300 to satisfy the mortgage, and just couldn't get it from anybody. The place had been the home of Mrs. Sewell's great-grandfather. There was a $400 mortgage on the place and Sewell had saved up $100 out of his wages, but all the banks and business men he went to for aid turned him down. Finally in despair Sewell appealed to the officials of the International Harvester Company, where he was a janitor and made such an earnest and convincing plan that the company telegraphed the money to the Camden, Ark., bank, just in time to save the foreclosure. OIL WELL BOOM STARTS. A few weeks later oil was struck in that community and then began a freezed rush to lease the surrounding land. Oil men sought Sewell and in a few months a gusher was in full blast on his land. Inside of two years his farm was dotted with 22 big wells pouring out fortunes. Sewell's royalty alone is $12,000 a month, in addition to his other income from investments and the property value of the farm. "First of all," said Sewell when asked how it felt to suddenly come into possession of such a vast income, "my boys, Arthur, aged S and John, I shall have a good education. I got what little education I have between the plow handles and from association with educated men. I want my boys to be useful to the world; to do things worth while; not just live on their money. "It would be a curse for them if they did it. They will work as long as they are under my control. They must learn the dignity of labor. I tell you right here, if I had not been proud of my work and faithful in my attention to it, the Harvester people would not have had confidence in me and come to my rescue and lent me the need. of money, and we would have lost everything. "My boys are in school now and I don't allow them to act any different with their playmates now than they did when I was still working as a junior. They play with their old-time playmates the same now as they did before and I still hold on to my same old friends and associates.

The charge came on the heels of Bishop Harrow's release from gills island after Judge John C Know of the Federal Court, Southern District, annulled the deportation warrants against him. The bishop, who has a salary of $3,000 a year and owns property, was charged with liability to "become a public charge," and with entering the United States "by false and fraudulent presentation of fact." Attorney Sherr also declares that the government framed up a false certificate of landing to have Bishop Harrow deported. Bishop Barrow was taken into custody on March 2 for deportation on March 4. This was the crisis of a four-year fight against the immigration authorities. Since 1922, when he was first served with a deportation warrant, Bishop Barrow has had three hearings, in each case it was recommended that the deportation proceedings be dropped.

The State Supreme Court sustained the laws and the ordinance, notwithstanding Mr. Harmon's contention that the restrictions were invalid and unconstitutional. The case came to the Supreme Court on Mr. Harmon's appeal. The action of the high court in the Harmon-Tyler case was limited to a statement by Chief Justice Taft that the judgment below was "reversed on the authority of Buchanan vs. Warley, 245 U.S. 60." The cited case came from Kentucky and involved a segregation ordinance of the City of Louisville which forbade colored persons from occupying houses in blocks where the greater part of the houses were occupied by white persons.

Outlear, from the Secretary of State's office at Albany. This letter, dated February 19, advised Mrs. Ridley that the certificate for the incorporation of the Improved Protective Order of Moose, inc., would be mailed to her as soon as possible and was signed by Robert Moses, Secretary of State. Another letter from the same source read: "We are returning to you the sum of $50, which was received in excess of the amount necessary for the incorporation of the Moose order; your certificate was mailed to you on the 20th of February." Mrs. Ridley further submitted as proof a statement appearing in the New York Law Journal for February 2, which carried the official notice of the incorporation of the order. Mrs. Ridley said that the first news that she had received that she had been suspended was when she went to Toledo, O., in response to an invitation received by her from Mrs. Willie Hannibal, noble queen of the Mizpah Chapter No. 27 of Toledo, C., to make an official inspection of the chapter, March 1. She said that when she arrived at Toledo that she was handed a communication signed by Octavia Washington of Baltimore, supreme noble queen, and authorized by David McDaniels of New York City, supreme dictator, to the effect that she had been suspended by the order and should not be received within the precincts of the Mizpah Chapter. She further declared that a riot broke out in the meeting of the lodge and that the members voted to admit her to the meeting in order that she might tell her story. Mrs. Ridley insisted that she has never been notified to appear and answer the charges brought against her and that, this being the case, according to the rules of the order, she could not have been suspended. The fight against her grew out of an effort on her part to prevent certain male members of the order from exacting unlawful taxes from the women's division to be used in unwarranted and unnecessary litigation, she claims. As further proof of her fight to save the order of which she was the founder, Mrs. Ridley submitted a letter which she received from the headquarters of the white WE SELL INSURANCE Life, Fire, Automobile, Landlord, Liability, Sick and Accident We Place Landlord Liability Anywhere in Harlem AGENTS WANTED To write sick and accident in Jamaica, Brooklyn and New Jersey STEPHENS INSURANCE COMPANY 2297 SEVENTH AVENUE MORNINGSIDE 4672 Moose, demanding that she use her influence to stop the colored organization from using the name "Moose."

Dear Mrs. Ridley: Perhaps the hurried nature of our interview here in the office is responsible for the misunderstanding which appears to have arisen from it. I left the conference with the understanding that you were to come to a decision the first of the following week on the subject of whether you wished to co-operate with us on a program to change the names of the organizations you are fostering. It appears that you left the conference with a different iden. From the fact that I did not hear further from you I concluded that you preferred so along as you have been going, leaving the matter of changing the name to adjudication in the court rather than to compromise. I hope that the fact that you have written me on December 27 is evidence that some plan may be worked out by which the expense of litigation may be saved to both parties. You understand, I think, that the legal affairs of our fraternity are in no sense in my hands. The whole matter rests with the executive committee of the order. I have taken the liberty of forwarding your letter to Judge Henning, together with copy of this letter, suggesting that he communicate with you direct. You will, no doubt, hear from him within the next few days. Very truly yours. RODNEY H. BRANDON. Executive Secretary. White Alderman Charges That Anderson and Jackson Fear Quiz "Cossack" Methods Employed by Police, Following Outcome of Recent Primary Election—South Side for Wm. Hall Thompson CHICAGO. March 14 (By the Associated Negro Press).—Alderman Louis B. Anderson of the Second Ward and Robert R. Jackson of the Third Ward were charged before the City Council Police Committee with being afraid to proceed with an investigation of police raids in their wards by Alderman Arthur Albert (white), of the Forty-third Ward, at a meeting of the Police Committee Thursday afternoon. The raids followed closely on the heels of the recent primary election, which forecast the defeat of Mayor Dever and the re-election of William Hale Thompson. On Wednesday afternoon Anderson and Jackson had sought the passage of a resolution in the council condemning a series of raids in their districts, which began with the transfer of "Hard-boiled" police shortly after the primary February 22. Anderson had declared that "Cossack" methods were being employed by the police to create a condition worse than any suffered in darkest Russia in which colored citizens were being robbed of their constitutional liberties, picked up off the streets and out of their homes to be lodged and kept in jail without the opportunity of communicating with friends, counsel or bondsmen. One thousand were taken in custody. His resolution also called for an investigation. At the time, Albert, the white Alderman, expressed the hope that there would be an investigation and suggested that a proper inquiry would show a connection between these Aldermen and the conditions which were responsible for the raids. Thursday Anderson surprised the committee by requesting a continuance of the hearing, explaining that he and his colleagues, Jack RHEUMATISM RHEUMATISM Pain Quickly Relieved With Red Cross Kidney Plaster Relief from the sharp, knife-like pains, the dull, never-ending aches of Rheumatism—that is what sufferers want.

Darrow Denies That He Was Threatened CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 14.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Clarence Darrow, eminent Chicago lawyer and exponent of free speech, stopped off here long enough to deny the charge that he was forced to leave Mobile, Alabama, under the protection of the police for delivering an address urging Negroes to stand up for their rights and "to strike as they had nothing to lose but their chains." The report, which emanated from Mobile, declared that the attorney had aroused the fire of the Ku Klux Klan by his address to the colored people and further by repeating it before a white audience. So aroused was this group, according to the report, Mr. Darrow only escaped a coat of tar and feathers by police protection.

An ambulance doctor was summoned from Harlem Hospital, who pronounced the death due to heart trouble. The body was removed to the West 135th street station. The Missing Persons Bureau was notified in an attempt to identify the body. The man was 5 feet 9 inches in height and weighed 180 pounds. He had a black mustache and wore a gray overcoat, gray suit, fedora hat and black shoes and stockings. been doubled to combat the astonishing conditions that exist in this overcrowded section.

Parents who keep lodgers are urged to keep a vigilant watch over their children at all times, as many degenerates make a practice of seeking rooms in homes where they can take advantage of minors. The immoral conditions that exist even among small children are almost beyond imagination, an official said. The Department has many cases where young school girls are virtually living with men lodgers in their homes. One 15-year-old girl, who gave birth to a baby, is said to have slept with her mother's lodger since she was 9 years old. Fred W. Morton, 317 W. 21s St. Indianapolis, suffered continually with Catarrh of the head and stomach—he los weight, and was run-down. After a three-bottle course of Peruna the Catarrh left him—he commenced to eat better, sleep soundly and gained 12 pounds in weight. Peruna has been known as the world's greatest tonic for over 50 years. It is the prescription of Dr. S. B. Hartman, who earned world-wide fame as a specialist on Catarrh. Keep a bottle always handy—it is a remedy for the entire family. You can buy it in liquid or tablet form at all drugstores.

GRAND PRIZES FREE Prizes Given Away Free Clip Nomination Blank on First Page and Send It in for Yourself Today Clip Nomination Blank on First Page and Send It in for Yourself Today The Amsterdam News, in conducting this "Everybody Wins Campaign," guarantees absolutely fair and square treatment to all who participate. The prizes are extraordinarily valuable, as will be seen from the list below. No expense has been spared to make this one of the most valuable prize distributions ever attempted, and the prizes will be given absolutely FREE. Any reputable man, woman, boy or girl may participate as a candidate, and it is not necessary that you be a subscriber to Prize First P Prizes Giv First Prize First Prize MOTORCAR to person having the largest number votes Nash Special Six 240, Fully Equipped 4-Door Sedan Value $1724 to person having the largest number votes Nash Special Six 240, Fully Equipped 4-Door Sedan Value $1724 How to Enter and Win The object of this big distribution of prizes is twofold—Primarily it is to increase the already large circulation of The Amsterdam News, and secondly to afford our friends and readers an unparalleled opportunity to profit in a big way through their spare time during the next few weeks. So it is a plan that works both ways for the good of all concerned. Let it be understood at the very beginning that this is not a "beauty" or popularity contest, but it is strictly a competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, boys and girls. One big feature is that EVERYBODY WINS, there are no losers. The plan of the campaign is the fairest and squarest imaginable and it is fully outlined in this announcement. The first step in order to share in this mammoth distribution of prizes is to clip and mail the nomination blank. Fill in your name and address and mail or deliver to the Campaign Department of The Amsterdam News. The coupon entitles you or the person you nominate to 5,000 votes. These votes are given you as a starter and to speed you on your way to win. The next step is to call on or phone or write the Campaign Department for a free outfit consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of paper and other information relative to the campaign. Come and meet the Campaign Manager personally, if possible, as he may be able to give you some valuable information as to how best to go about getting votes. Thus equipped you have but to go to your friends and neighbors, relatives and acquaintances, and have them pay up a subscription to The Amsterdam News through you. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. However, you must make the start, as anything worth having is worth striving for—so plan your campaign—get busy at once and let no one discourage you, and in a few short weeks you will be the winner of a prize well worth any effort. Subscribers who do not care to receive their paper by mail will be given a 52-coupon book, good for one copy each week, for a year, at any newsstand or agent. Begin gathering votes now as they all count. Get your friends to cast them for you. The way to get votes is by securing new and renewal subscriptions to The Amsterdam News. On each subscription turned in a certain number of votes are issued, depending on the amount paid and during which "period" the subscriptions are received (See schedule of votes below). So you see, the more subscriptions you secure and the quicker you get them, the more votes you will get and the better your chances are for landing the first prize. The advantages of an early start are apparent. Not only do you have the full nine weeks in which to secure the votes, but from now on until April 6 you will receive the greatest number of votes for every subscription you secure. Then, too, the first in the field will get the cream of the votes and subscriptions, while those who put off entering will have to take what is left. Don't lose valuable time waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do. Pitch right in NOW and show the other fellow how it is done. Be sure that your nomination is in RIGHT AWAY.

The case was first heard in the Appellate Division in June, 1926.

This, he charged, she failed to do. According to Mrs. Garnette's testimony, Wood wrote her during his confinement at the Tombs that he was in desperate need of funds and that he desired to sell her the deed to the property for that purpose. She came to the Tombs and bought the deed. Wood accepting as payment $136 in cash and an outstanding note of his for $500.

Mrs. Garnette vigorously denied any marriage engagement to Mr. Wood, saying that her relationship with him had always been of a business nature. As proof of the friendship between himself and the defendant, the plaintiff produced a small, framed photograph of the defendant, which she admitted having given him upon his request. The case was adjourned to March 28 to complete the testimony and reach a decision. Phone Harlem 1226 CHELSEA EXCHANGE BANK ESTABLISHED 1903 Res. 370 St. Nicholas Avenue, N. Y. City --- THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1927 Taxicab Driver Granted Divorce Had Previously Identified Wife in the City The case of Joseph Kaltchak, a taxi driver of 52 West 132d street, was tried a few days ago before Supreme Court Justice Burr, where, through his attorney, John W. Coyle, he was suing his wife, Margaret Kaltchak, for absolute divorce, naming one Lewis Cartrell as co-respondent. It was brought out at the trial that the couple had separated for some time, but a few months ago Mr. Kaltchak, after reading a newspaper account of an unknown woman who was found dead on the street, noted that the description corresponded with that of his wife. He visited the morgue and, as a matter of fact, identified the woman as his wife. However, just a short time before he was making arrangements to remove the body he found he had made a mistake in his identification, because word reached him that she was seen somewhere in Yonkers. In order to clear up this mystery, he paid a visit to Yonkers and after riding and hanging around the streets for some time, he happened to see her. They chatted for a while and she refused to tell him her present residence. After leaving him she entered a drug store and remained in there for a while. The husband then secured the services of the Boulin National Detective Agency to clear up the situation. At the trial the detectives testified that they found Mrs. Kaltchak living with Cartrell in a $6 a week attic room at 28 Bruce street. Yonkers, under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis; that Cartrell told them that he had become acquainted with Mrs. Kaltchak about two and a half years ago at a friend's house on Fifty-ninth street, at which time she was still living with her husband, and that they had been living in Yonkers for about four months. Several witnesses, who accompanied the detectives on the raid, testified in the case.

Conference Between Sec'y Kellogg and Haitian Minister Fails to Develop Conference Between Sec'y Kellogg and Haitian Minister Fails to Develop WASHINGTON, March 14. — Exclusion of Senator King of Utah from Haiti by order of President Borno apparently is a closed incident. At least, the Haitian Minister, Hannibal Price, so regards it and there was no indication at the State Department today that Secretary Kellogg contemplated renewing the effort to have the bant on the Senator lifted. The anticipated conference between the Secretary and Minister Price on the incident failed to develop. The ban applies only to Senator King. It was made plain at the Haitian Legation that there was no intention to extend it to other Senators contemplating visits to Haiti who may have criticised the Haitian administration publicly. in Haiti that he would visit Haiti to inspect conditions, presumably with the anti-government leader, Percival Thoby. It was indicated that President Borno was incensed by this even more than by criticism of his administration by the Utah Senator, and regarded it as attempted intervention in Haitian politics. A new angle to the reason prompting the refusal to permit Senator King to enter Haiti developed at the Legation with the statement that, before he left New York, the Senator had telegraphed to the leader of the Borno opposi- floor of her home by William Clark, a lodger, Monday night. She lived at 65 West 134th street. O. G. H.

It was indicated that President Borno was incensed by this even more than by criticism of his administration by the Utah Senator, and regarded it as attempted intervention in Haitian political affairs. There have been political troubles in Haiti recently in connection with local elections, and it appears possible that this situation had something to do with Senator King's exclusion. Haiti is under American occupation, so President Borno's attitude is believed to have been taken with United States consent. Night Call Phone Jerome 2168 C.

Dear Eggypsy Ann: You have no idea what your column means to girls like me, who have no one to go to when they are old and have been working for two years. I am considered quite good-looking and lively, and everyone seems to like me, but no matter how many boys I meet and how much they seem to like me for the evening they never call me up, some to come and help them please. Why is this, Eggypsy Ann? Do I have to pet? They seem to like me for one evening without petting. Why can't they remember me! I luck and long life to your column. To have the company of some boys, you have to pet. However, they are not the kind for you. If they can't understand and respect your reason for refusing to be mauled, they are simply not good enough for you. If you allowed them to pet they would only try to take further advantage and if you refused, would tire of you and get someone else. As if you should bite, blitter, especially if you have a high stamina and many girl friends.

Drink hot lemonade to help you perspire. 8. Use extra blankets in bed. 9. Don't take cold tablet remedies. They often contain harmful drugs. 10. Do not blow your nose too hard. 11.

Baral Washington The healthy condition of the skin, hair, and of the general health go hand in hand. During a meal the mind exerts a strong influence on the amount of food demanded by the stomach, the digestion of it when swallowed, and its final utilization in building up new tissues and replacing old ones. It is impossible for the mind to be at rest during the waking hours. Persons who have the best digestions are those who are most easily diverted or amused; those who can throw aside cares and worries and allow the full blood supply to be used in the process of digestion, instead of diverting a part of it to carry on a serious train of thought. Don't Read While Eating. Reading of any kind, which not only occupies the mind, but the eyes, should not be indulged in during meals. The eyes are the most sensitive organs of the body and exert the most powerful influence of any on the condition of the mind and spirits. When you give vent to the passions, remorse, envy, jealousy, irritability, discontent and undue excitement of any kind, while eating they act in a threefold manner to the detriment of the health. They take away the appetite, interfere with the digestion of the food that is taken in and prevent proper distribution of the nutriment that is finally assimilated.

BIOLOGY Cooper's Revue at Lafayette Butterbeans and Susie and the Five Crackerjacks Top Cast of Headliners Butterbeans and Susie, the famous comedians and record stars, will appear at the Lafayette Theatre for the week beginning Monday, March 21, at the head of one of the biggest casts of stage celebrities that ever comprised a modern revue. Butterbeans and Susie need no introduction to theatre-goers. Advance information, however, states that they have picked up a few tricks on the road that will delight all who see them. The world's greatest colored dancing acrobats—the Five Cracker-jacks—will also appear in this revue. Gulport and Brown, leaders of the so-called "low down" comedians; Octavia Sumler, an irrespressible bundle of jazz; Brown and Marguerite, the famous Apache dancers; Florence Parham, the golden-voiced songbird, and other noted entertainers are in the cast of the "Okeh Revue." The film feature for the week is also worthy of mention—Buster Kronen in his latest hit, "The General." It certainly seems that the management of the Lafayette Theatre is right in its statement that they present the biggest show of its kind anywhere in the city. Theatre Boys in Big Dance at Renaissance The Keith-Albee Boys are back again, presenting their Broadway Privililities and Novelty Dance at the Renaissance Casino, Seventh avenue and 133th street. Thursday evening, April 7. The Boys, who are quite popular along Broadway, will have their host of friends from the theatrical districts to help make the affair one of the season's biggest events. There will be two bands, featuring the Masked Tenor, with continuous dancing. The doors will open at 9 o'clock on Monday, president of the club, who has always put over the entertainments of the K.A. Boys with a bang, promises Harlemites and Broadwayites something to look forward to. Tickets are now on sale at Odessa's, 2293 Seventh avenue. The producer in question should follow the bishop's advice. For the preacher in question, after accepting his bishop's advice, remained long enough to have written the most brilliant book on the life of the New York City which he had once thought only to be the seat of the worst sort of vice. This book was "Religious Cosmogogy" written by that great divine, Bishop Francis Potter, who remained so long a time in York that he, by giving at the age of 60, said as his last words: "I have given you a name in time to soff, but remained to serve." Perhaps if the producer in question will seek, when next attempting to portray the life of Harlem, to learn some of those things which the youth, the aged, the respectable, the ignorant, the vice-ridden and debased person calling himself a producer will in time feel proud of. It would take but little brains for one entitled to be classed above the moron to see enough things in the life of Harlem about which to write. And this need not be high-brow nor even dry-as-dust. For white men of sense, without the insight into race affairs which one must believe the producer in question possess are writing plays of the life of the Negro who would hardly yoke the tokens of the underworld. A successful fool" said Bert Williams, "a man of a common decency and intelligence." Our vote goes to Bert, and we rise up to defend it after he has long dead, to say: Would to God that he had opened a school for SUCCESSFUL FOOLS during his life. This, then, is our appreciation of "Gay Harlem." WONDERFUL NEW DISCOVERY WHITENS AND CLEARS YOUR SKIN AFTER A FEW TREATMENTS THEN our thoughts reverted to the article which appeared on the theatrical page last week speaking of the "Dance of the Beads" as done in Harlem. We were deploring the fact that so few of our papers "dance" to its title "tell the truth when we became attracted to headlines in the Philadelphia edition of an article by George Schuyler, a special writer on that paper and one of the brilliant members of the Messenger Magazine staff. beautiful face, incandescent bodiness, Tan, Pimples, Sullowness, Blotches and all Blemishes by this wonderful new scientific treatment, which positively clears and whitens your skin after a few nights' treat- ment.

RESULTS GUARANTEED HITE and colored managers of the theatres catering to Negro patronage," said the well-known satirist, who was apparently in a more serious mood than usual, "are probably the most courageous men in the United States. "I state this fact after much observation of the shows they offer to the Negro theater. If you see one of these shows you see all of them. It is downright amazing how no many shows can be produced without a single new idea. No effort is even made to create the satirical skits from successful white revues and adapt them to the Negro theater. It is really highway robbery to charge people admission, week after week, when the only change in the show is its name. If there is any place where intelligence is more needed than in the Negro theatre, I would like to hear of it. "Not only are these Negro shows devoid of intelligence and cleverness, but many of them stage the worst exhibits ever observed outside the house of assignation. I am no Puritan. I enjoy gazing at a comely nude female in a real red-blooded fellow, but I'll be barned if some of these exhibits now being put on the Negro stage are not about the rawest I've ever seen or hope to see. Not that I am shocked at all, because I have seen worse. Buy a jar of this wonderful cream today. Use it for a week Then if you are not simply delighted and astonished with the results your money will be refunded instantly. Just ask for a jar of ADMIRIOLA BLEACH CREAM. AT ALL DRUG AND DEPARTMENT "But I have never seen worse on the American stage anywhere. It is not the nudity to which I object, but the bawdy house dances that these Negro managers seem to delight in staging. The Negro theatre is rapidly becoming a place where people of decency and refinement are treated with disgust. I have no urge to close these dumpe—what I not want to stay away from—but it seems to me common, ordinary, self-respect and self-decency would cause these managers, both colored and white, to call a show and to stretch of the imagination can these dances be called artistic, and after studying the reactions of Negro audiences to them I have come to the conclusion that they are popular only with a depraved minority.

In all honesty I had to reply that there were no GOOD ones in town. Upon being urged to take them to what there were, good or bad, I had to refuse them because I was ashamed to take them to the senseless and lewd exhibitions being offered by the Harlem thespians. As far as I have been able to learn, there is no difference between what is offered to New York Negroes and what is offered to Pittsburgh. According to authentic information I have received about the white-owned house which caters to Negro patronage even to the ushers, while all the white people, run by white people, does is to come and observe the exhibitions which pass under the name of musical comedy revues. This house is a typical example of similar houses catering to the Negro, especially throughout the North.

JOHNSON ONLY eleven and thirteen years of age yet the Berry brothers, entertainers now starring with the Club Alabama' company at the Lafayette Theatre this week, have enjoyed such popularity and commanded such engagements as would tempt some of the most successful adult entertainers. Such are the attainments of Ananlas and James Berry, known on the stage as the matinee Williams Walker.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about their careers is that the Berry brothers did not commence with the stage. For years their father treasured the birth of the Worcester theater, giving them church entertainments. In fact, their father is an humble churchman who has filled most every position in a Methodist church except pastor. His boys were church entertainers until it developed they had natural ability for the footlights. ANANIAS, the older boy, made the family reputation when not quite five years old. His debut was in a packed church in Chicago, where he recited Dunbars "At the Party." a selection of more than 1,200 words, with all the dramatic feeling of an accomplished elocution. So was his career. For two years following they traveled 5,000 miles, giving church concerts. Their specialty was Dunbars's poems and long passages from the Bible.

Speaking of 'Gay Harlem' BEING THE RESULT OF CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY AN ANALYTICAL MIND Eminent Satirist, George Schuyler, in Serious Mood, Secs the Negro Theatre of the Present Day at Its Worst IT is natural for us to sometimes sit and wonder if perchance we stand alone in the opinions as set forth in these columns anent the descent of the Negro theatre, and we know it. And every time we so sit renewed courage to do this work we see it comes to us visions more brilliant than ours setting forth the same ideas, albeit in language which only the learned can use. BEAUSE of reasons which we do not feel called upon to disclose at this time, we asked our special feature writer, Mr. Eigar M. Grey, to visit the Latayette Theatre and tell us about the new show of Mr. ivrin C. Miller called "Gay Harlem," and the result of his observations we gladly append for those interested in what is going on at the largest house catering to Negroes in this section of the city. MR. GREY had forgotten our request until he was attracted to a sign in front of the house while strolling up the avenue a few nights later, and the following article was handed to us late Saturday evening: WHILE strolling up Seventh avenue the writer's attention was attracted on Thursday evening to a sign boldly displayed on the outside of the Lafayette Theatre proclaiming: "Irvin C. Miller and his latest production, 'Gay Harlem,' now at this theatre." The writer, being a long-time resident of the black city, decided to enter the theatre and to see the life of Harlem presented—as he thought. We entered and watched the performance, and then we entered the art of the theatre we were fortunate in arriving just in time to obtain a seat which was just then made vacant by the departure of a lady. We seated ourselves and was not long in waiting before the arrival on the stage of a half-dozen almost-nude women informed us that the spectacle of Harlem's life had begun. Long and tediously we sat through the first act and its neary nudity; then some more neary nudity, and then some more. In the third act we were rewarded, for there, for the first time, a lady appeared on the stage without the need for loin cloth. She was attractive, demure, vivant: her song brought two encores, for the first time in the whole show. And then, before we could make up our mind just what to expect, the scenery changed and when the curtain again rose we were face to face with what was supposed to be a scene in Harlem. We stopped to appreciate in Harlem. Then the fun began. The black-faced person who made it, are scary. We do not know, and who evidently thought that he was funny, proceeded to plunge into the most "hellish" form of vulgarity. Here we were treated to the kind of suggestiveness which one should expect in a theatre which was maintained for the benefit of persons who are by nature Kip Rhinelanders and Harry K. Thaws. After witnessing this act one would have thought that the limits to indecency had been exhausted, but not so. me lad! The next scene brought us face to face with the kind of harem vulgarity which all of the brazen rapine Turks and underworld Parsians in the last days of paresis and masochistic degradation would advertise for a private audience. The writer and producer of this play is supposed to be a college graduate; he is also supposed to be a diligent; he has been in the theatrical profession for many years; he is not a paresis and masochistic respect; he is rated as one of the successful producers; and we are told residues in Harlem, where most of the respectable Negroes live. We wonder. Once upon a time a preacher who had been assigned by his bishop to a parish in New York City, after working for three months, returned to the bishop saying: "Sir, I am afraid that I shall be forced to request that you give me a change of station, for the reason that New York is damned. All that I have been able to see in New York is vice, drinking and prostitution." The bishop listened; then, turning slowly to his wife, said: "If you have seen in New York is what you have related to me, it would be hard for the bishop must have been of a sort; that was selected by a natural tendency of your heart." Go try again and see whether you cannot by a change of association discover other than fifth." Denver, Colo., the boys begged their parents' permission to enter an amateur contest at one of the local theatres. That they won first prize to all the whole of it. The success of this adventure was the beginning of their stage careers. The accompanying picture exhibits a silver loving cup won as first prize from hundreds of contestants in Los Angeles, Cal. THE first professional engagement of the boys was with a show at $50 per week, the company traveling throughout Colorado and Wyoming. That even juvenile performers are not exempt from the experience when the show broke up and let them stranded in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a long ways from home. Their talents soon rescued them from this predicament, however, as they were filled with excitement in Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa. In private life James and Ananias are very much like other boys their age. They like to play and read, and since their stay in New York they have joined the Boy Scouts. WHILE talking to the writer, Mr. Berry called in Ananias, who had been skating before the door, and had him recite the first chapter of St. Matthew. Ananias went right through it, pronouncing all the difficult names of the first portion, and this despite the fact that he has not done this kind of work with him, he is a member of the family who also bids fair to be an entertainer some day. Warren, just three, has already made his appearance in the pictures and occasionally he can be seen doing his stuff at the club in the act with the older boys.

Miss Griffith Here This Week Vivacious Pola Negri Will Also Be at the Renaissance Corinne Griffith in "The Lady in Ermine" comes to the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, March 17 and 18. Here is a picture in which is presented a spectacle of honor and glory and a beautiful countess who would rather die than lose either. Just how she got out of that rather difficult dilemma is most interestingly shown in "The Lady in Ermine" and Corinne Griffith, playing the part of the countess, wonderfully displays the manner in which a beautiful woman may still retain honor and yet have glory. See the picture at your favorite theatre. Thursday and Friday. The vivacious Pola Negri in "Hotel Imperial" will be the attraction over the week-end, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, March 19, 20 and 21. This is one of the screen's biggest productions and starring with the beautiful Pola are James Hall and George Siegmann. The picture is replete with thrills and hair-raising circumstances from start to finish and not until the end of the picture may one breathe easily. All of the intrigue of love and adventure with the twins may be woven around those two things is aptly brought out in "Hotel Imperial." Lovers of good pictures will be well rewarded by seeing this production at the Renaissance Theatre. Ernest Bullock, one of Don David's versatile orchestra members, will play the week-end feature. He will play "Barcarole" on the clarinet. "The Wreck" at the Roosevelt This Saturday Columbia Pictures have selected a gripping melodrama as their latest production, and "The Wreck" will open next Saturday at the Roosevelt Theatre, with Shirley Mason and Malcolm McGregor in the leading roles. "The Wreck" tells of the adventures of a trusting, clear-eyed girl who has been fooled into matrimony by a sweet-tongued rogue. He arranges a false ceremony so that her innocent manner may assist him in his crooked schemes. When she is hurt in a train wreck or in a wealthy man because she is mistaken for his wife, more exciting things happen for the heroine. His mother becomes very fond of her, the man himself falls in love with her, and all the time she thinks she is the wife of a crook and being sought by the police for a robbery he had committed. The climax is said to be totally unexpected and an exciting one. Stirring Police Play Coming to the Douglas "The Third Degree," the Warner Bros. production, starring Dolores Costeille, which opens next Saturday at the Douglas Theatre, is as gripping a police melodrama as its nano suggests. "The Third Degree!" Words that carry a connotation of horror and miserable injustice; nagging, bullying, browbeating, torture, forced confession, the modern version of Inquisitions. Happily, the "third degree" in this country has, to a large extent, given way to more scientific, less painful, and infinitely more accurate methods in police departments. Bewildered prisoners no longer write on a stool of agony, a blinding light flooding their weary eyes, with harsh voices in the darkness beyond threatening, cajoing, insisting, demanding, questioning them until their senses reel and the earth seems to be staggering crazily through trackless space. They are no longer shapped awake or roughly shaken by manicured paws out of the darkness, tempted with food, with drink, tempted with promises of freedom and lenency and rest to confess a terrible crime of which they are guiltless. Hoi, Hoi! Hunter in Full Two-Hour Show After Eddie Hunter's last appearance at the Lafayette Theatre his quaint mannerisms, including his famous, hilarious "Oh, My, My," were heard on every side. Eddie is coming to the Lafayette again for a week's run, beginning Monday, March 23. This time his company will present "4-11-14," giving the funniest, fastest, sweetest numbers, including those which were omitted when the show was presented some time ago under the title of "How Come." ing, the father seen to it that his sons are in Sunday school every Sunday.

They visit the home of Deborah, and try to make her come with them to prayer meeting to ask forgiveness, their only apparent hope of salvation. With frantic religious fervor, the assembled company sings "Count Yo Sins, Sinnin' Sister" as they encircle the woman parading in ceremonial fashion. The next scenes deserve praise. "Earth" has to do with Deborah who has just had her sixth son taken in death by the heavenly powers, and working herself into a frenzy of grief she openly doubts the wisdom and mercy of the skies and denounces religion. Her late lamented son, Walter, had been active in voodooism, a paran fanatic, and the simple colored folk of the community think that his removal from the earth was an act of holy judgment. To make things worse, a forest fire in all its raging fury convinces Brother Eligah and his followers that it is Deborah's avowed blasphemy that has brought this flaming affliction. "I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston. Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine." Costs only 1 can a dose.

With frantic religious fervor, the assembled company sings "Count Yo' Shus, Sinnin' Sister" as they encircle the woman parading in ceremonial fashion. The next scenes depict vividly the meeting taking place at night hihh on a mountain top before a huge wooden cross. The woman is here confronted by Elijah and his dusky brethren and is on the point of declaring her repentance when the voodoo element breaks out anew and the colored gentry become so wrought up with fear that they become pagans in a body, notwithstanding the fact that Deborah strangles the voodoo chief with her own hands during the startling ceremonies. In the end she drops dead in her own home amid the walks of her chanting neighbors. A pleasant little tale is this story of Mr. Basshe's strange play. The chief feature of the evening was the stirring acting of Inez Clough as Deborah. She revealed herself to be an emotional actress of splendid ability. Miss Clough has done considerable work with Lafayette Players in Harlem, we are told. Her performance last Thursday night was deeply moving. Daniel L. Haynes with his deep resonant voice played Elijah, the blind leader of the little flock of religionists, with much skill. These two stood out in a cast that was consistently efficient.

That's what happens in "Valencia." Miss Murray's new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle, which will be at the Lincoln Theatre the latter half of this week. It's a play every flapper will rave about for weeks--for Mae in her beautiful gowns, her love affair with the sailor—and her escape from the evil governor of Barcelona, is the center of one of the most romantic spectacles the screen has seen in months and months.

Recently Ivan Broning of the Four Harmony Kings sent the following communication to the Dispatch: Editor London Weekly Dispatch. Dear Sir: I have just read an article in the Dispatch today in which same refers to Lew Leslie producing Blackbirds and teaching "Nigger Stuff to Niggers." I cannot see for what reason the Dispatch would speak of the NEGRO race in the insulting terms used. I know of a recent case in which Sir Montague Sharp, K. C., acquitted a Negro lad for inflicting bodily harm on a white lad for calling him a "nigger." besides reprimanding the white lad for using this insulting term to the Negro lad. I recall an instance in which Lord Northlife insisted that his newspaper should not use the word "Chimman" in referring to the Chinese, all of which proves to me that the English people, as a rule, are indeed very careful in speaking about other races of people and I certainly can't understand why the Dispatch speaks of the Negro race in such a derogatory manner. I assure you that my opinion is the same as thousands of members of my race who feel this insult very keenly and will appreciate an apology from the well known Weekly Dispatch. I am, Respectfully yours, IVAN H. BROWNING, Manager Four Harmony Kings, Alhambra Theatre, London. To which the writer in question replied: The Color Line. I have been getting into trouble, I regret to say, with some of the colored artists now in this country. Last week I referred to "niggers." This was very wrong of me, as the Four Harmony Kings—a music hall act—have been saying. But I did not mean it in any derogatory sense. Perhaps not one of the Four Harmony Kings has ever heard the wealth of contumely which can be introduced into the word "Britisher."

We are back in London the first of June, at the Holborn, Empire. I HAVE been informed that the popular team Williams & Taylor are to join Blackbirds shortly. They should be a real hit in the revue.

Reo Talking Machine Shop now holding Great Prize Contest and Sale of the latest and greatest record by Manager of Douglas, Odeon and Roosevelt Trying New Wrinkle at Douglas Along with the pictures being shown at the Douglas Theatre these days, Manager Shapiro of the combine which includes the Roosevelt, Odeon and Douglas Theatre is trying out a new wrinkle at the Douglas by presenting revues. The revue idea, which had its birth at the Lincoln Theatre, was tried out elsewhere and apparently met favor even though the descent to the worst form of this kind of entertainment was resorted to. Support for the best ideas at times comes from unexpected quarters and somehow we would like to see the unassuming Mr. Shapiro meeting with success, for we believe that he would meet colored Harlem half way in trying to do those things necessary to raise the tone of spoken presentations in this neck of the woods. This week he has an array of white funmakers which will be followed by colored in the event of patrons of the Douglas receiving this innovation with any degree of warmth. A bevy of chickens from the ofay barnyard will cavort this week. It's the Bunk Not many weeks ago one of the local sundown sheets gave up the better part of its front page space to the news, and he told his congregation that he would not countenance any of his members going to the theatre. His reason for this stand, as to be expected, would be that he would be the man's promise of hell eventually far from carries the weight it did in those early days when we were accepting the man's Christianity without question. Had the preacher taken for his topic the sermon which George Schuyler is preaching in another column, we would have gone in the community than all the threats of us sinners eventually meeting Diavolo when we cash in our checks after being paid. He looked individual with the scripture. If the voice of colored ministers in Harlem would rise as one against the tendency of certain theatrical management and bad and which Broadway—even blase Broadway—is filing protests against, they would render their own a service which would have its reward in greater support for the church. In the end, nothing is going to stop us. Hence the only thing to do would be to hein ELEVEN Police Play e Roosevelt make the theatre a place worth going to. And it can be done. Let those preachers who are in touch with those material things affecting the race notify us of their intention to preach on the descent of the Negro theatre to the gutter and we would gladly give them all the space they require to help carry their message of great good to our masses. Harlem, situated in the Empire State of the Union, where some years ago even our thentres were anxiously watched by producers in other parts of the country catering to Negro trade for the best that we could produce, has found itself in a worst dilemma than Philadelphia, with its South Street: Blues, which colored Philadelphiaians accept and expect nothing better from the fish markets district. There would be no protest registered had we not tasted of the inspiring things which came to us by managers who tried to give something for the monetary reward which they received. Let our ministers raise their voices in protest unto high heaven and do the duty which they owe their people. Let our organizations working for the so-called uplift of their own people join the ranks and demand that a new day be ushered into the community where thousands of Negroes are raising their children with the hope that the coming generation will benefit by the mistakes of the present. Certain producers making much of the monetary success they are enjoying need not pat themselves on the back because they are meeting with the questionable reward for the pandering of the lowest form of entertainment, keepers of bawdy houses can show as much pride for the tainted money they acquire, but society will always frown on their methods. Oh for a little guts in the colored so-called newspapers which yearly make themselves more and more dependent on that mess of pottage called an advertisement!

JOSEPH Great Game Between White Stars and Renaissance Five Here Last Sunday Eyre Saitch a Star Douglas Men Uncovered One of Their Most Brilliant Settoes for Loyal Fandom Followers of basketball journeying to the Renaissance Casino every Sunday night thought they had witnessed all the thrills that could be squeezed into any one game after a hectic season which saw their favorites sharing the honors with the best of the white teams in Greater New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and other places. But they had one of their biggest surprises last Sunday night, when the hardest battle they have seen so far was uncorked for their edification. Truth to tell, there were times when the house was gasping as the white players laid down a burgage which only stout hearts held up. At times it looked rather gloomy for the local champions, and the first half found St. Joseph leading with a nine-point margin that almost gave the fanettes heart failure. Then came that famous drive from the rear which has made history in the past. The white players added insult to injury when they jumped off with a nine-point lead, with Jennings playing a wonderful game and personally accounting for the six sports secured by his team. Then Tyler was present in and smashed the dugouts of the enemy and saved the day for Harlem. The promise which Saitch gave in that game stamps him as real professional timber and he will be heard from more often in the future. The final score, after a tour battle, will all hold almost spent. was 37-31, favor of the Renalssance. The Stars defeated the Metro Diamonds by a 24-12 score in the preliminary. Next Sunday night Harlem will be given an opportunity to see the famous Buccaneers from Atlantic City in action in this part of the world for the first time, and what it will take to make a game the "Bucs" should have it. if we are to judge by the manner in which they have stumped so many teams going to the seashore city, or one of colored teams, this is only the only chance of a chance of defeating the Renaissance, and they are well heeded for the big fray. The preliminary will be between St. Mark's and Mother Zion. Stage Favorite Praises Exelento Alliter Harris says Exelento is great!

Leading Track and Field Stars to Shine at Casey Games Here Mar.17 Cooke, Major, Moore and Edwards Will Be Seen in Action, Holding Down Colored Representation in Scintilating Meet at Madison Square Garden Many of the country's leading track and field athletes who have helped to make athletic history during the present indoor season will return here Thursday (St. Patrick's Day) evening to compete in the annual indoor track meet of the New York Chapter, K. of C., at Madison Square Garden. Four other starters have been selected to support Edwin Wide, the Swedish schoolmaster, and Lloyd Hahn. America's greatest miler, in their record breaking attempt. These are Jimmy Connolly, Gus Moore, Bill Cox and Joe Sivak. This race has been looked forward to by track fans ever since Wide set foot on these shores shortly after the first of the new year. This canny Swede did not underestimate the ability of the Hub runner, and for that reason he has prepared himself for this race and his race at two miles on March 26 against Willie Ritola, without allowing anything else to interfere. He has received hundreds of invitations to compete here and there all over the United States and Canada. He has also afforded to his training program which he mapped out for himself when he agreed to run these two races. The five exhibition races he has run in this country have merely been training workouts for him, and because of this many who witnessed him in these workouts were disappointed with his showing. The fact of the matter is, according to those who are close to Wide, he refused to rush his training or deviate from his schedule, even at the expense of being defeated by mediocre handicap runners. His objective all along has been these two races at one and two miles, in which he has hopes of running these distances faster than man has ever run them before. His exhibition his miles at the intercollegiate Championships, a week ago, when he ran the distance up to seven within five seconds of Faavo Nurmi's world's second, proves that the Swedish spoolmaster has been gradually working up to his big race against Hahn next. Thursday night, and his other big match against Nitola at the Garden on March 26. He stated upon his arrival in this country that he hoped to be able to break what he considered the two best world's records set up by Nurmi when he was in America in 1925, namely, the one and two mile records. That is the task he has set for himself. Wide has repeatedly stated that he feels he can run the mile in 4m. 10s. Jack Ryder, the Boston A. A. coach, says that Hahn will run under 4.12 Thursday night, which is the world's record for night, which is the book's credit of Nixon and his own Jole Ray. The world's record for two miles is 8m. 58 1-5s., and is considered by experts to be one of the best on the books. Wide ran two miles outdoors in 9.01 2-5 when he beat Nurmi in Berlin last Summer. Ritola ran the distance in 9.03 1-5 at Buffalo in 1925. Is Wide a better runner than Nurmi? The results of these two races will determine that. The "Casey 600" is next in importance to the Wide-Hahn mile, and promises to be the best middle distance race of the season. The field will consist of George Leunness, national title holder, and Johnny Gibson, record holder for 600 yards indoors: Alva Martin, Chicago, national $80 yard champion, Ray Robertson, Boston, winner of the race last year, and Johnny Gibson, a dangerous competitor in any race. Some of the other events on the card are: Sprint series between Chet Bowman, Loren Murchison, Frank Hussey and Bob McAllister. Sixty yards high hurdles, George Guthrie, Emerson Norton and Hal Osborn, Illinois A. C., and Tom Farrell; 880 yards — Raymond Dodge, Phil Edwards, Joe Campbell, Pinkey Sober and George Marsters, Running high jump—Charley Manley, Hal Osborn, Gaff Robinson, Emerson Norton and Clarence Flahive. One-mile college relay—Syracuse, Georgetown, Maryland and Boston College. United Sons of Georgia Staging Spring Dance The United Sons of Georgia will again come before the public on the night of March 24 in their big spring dance and reception at Manhattan Casino and, judging from the plans as outlined by the officers of the association, this affair should meet with merited success. Music for the occasion will be supplied by H. O. Ward's Syncopated Orchestra, a combination of music makers with a record for making all hands like the kind of strains they furnish. No stone has been left unturned to make this reception one of the outstanding acts in the history of corporate organization, and, from present indications, the demand for admissions will tax the efforts of the committee of arrangements.

That Tex Rickard hasn't any corner on all the brains arranging fist cards is evident, for this match alone is of the kind which the fans would pay good money to see despite McVey's bum showing against Dundee the night the colored lad was so sick he could hardly hold up his hands.

BIG DOINGS AT GARDEN TOMORROW NIGHT Lee's Tuxedoes Go on Wild Rampage THE MUSIC BAND Phila. Band Among Leaders J. Lawrence Grinnell Has Accomplished Great Work With Robert Ogden Organization PHILADELPHIA, Pa. .. March 7. —(By the Associated Negro Press)—With a set of brand new instruments from drum to baton, the Robert C. Ogden Band of Philadelphia, under the direction of J. Lawrence Grinnell, is hard at work preparing to "win a few more prizes" during the year 1927. The phrase "win a few more prizes" is used advisedly as the aggregation of musicians has won enough prizes to be termed the "prize band of America." Pitted against some of the best bands of the country in the Interstate Band Contest, hold annually, the Robert C. Ogden Band has emerged victorious each time, winning from each organization as the famous 18th organization of the New York City, the Imperial Elks' Band, New York City, the A. Jack Thomas Band of Baltimore, the Howard University Band and the Pride of Camden, J. B. P. O. E. Band. The Robert C. Ogden Band is composed of employees of the Wanamaker store of this city and is a part of one of the largest and most prominent educational, social and recreational agencies existing in the United States. The association was organized in 1912 and the name was suggested by the Honorable John Wanamaker, who gave as his reason for designating the association as the Robert C. Ogden that Mr. Ogden had done so much for colored people. The band is a very important part of the association and is the pride of Philadelphia. Weekly concerts are given in the Wanamaker stores and public concerts are frequently rendered by the organization. At the Howard-Lincoln game each year the association band plays an important role, being the official band of Lincoln University, and the thousands of fans who attend the gridiron classic look forward to the music furnished by the aggregation with as much enthusiasm as to the game itself, because whether playing the college and war songs of the Lincoln Lions or the more ambitious concert, the same finesse and mastery are evident. The conductor, J. Lawrence Grinnell, formerly bandmaster of the 10th U. S. Cavalry Band, attached, and bandmaster of the 56th Infantry, U. S., during the great world war, is one of the most widely known band leaders in the country and no aggregation has proved its ability more than the Robert O'Denan Band. The band is composed of fourteen pieces, outfitted with the famous instruments, is well balanced, and has won the plaudits of the public at large and the music critics in particular, almost from its inception.

HURDLERS BENEFIT Intercollegiate Ass of Amateur At Changes Many At the Intercollegiation of Amateur A America's annual conv Saturday in the Colum 135th Street Branch "V" to Play St. Jude A real basketball treat has been arranged for Saturday, March 19, at which time the St. Jude Speed Boys, who have been making such an enviable record, will again meet the YMD. It will be remembered that the game was called the last time these teams met with the score tied at 19-19. The Corliss A. C. will also appear on the program, meeting the Lightweights. In the preliminary encounter, the Baltic A. S. will oppose the Jr. League team. The first game will positively start at 7:30 p.m. HALL DEFEATS JOE SCALFARA But Judges Gave Decision Against Him and Were Hissed Benny Hall, former St. Louis bantam, lost the verdict to Joe Scalfara (white) of Harlem in the semifinal six-round bout at the ridgewood Grove Sporting Club. Brooklyn, last Saturday night after a hard fight. While the judges ruled against Benny in a scrap that was pretty nearly an even affair, many of the customers were of the opinion that a draw verdict would have been a better decision and voiced their dissatisfaction for several minutes after the boys left the ring. Hall, who is under the management of Gene Flaherty, a brother of Simon Flaherty of the Queensboro Stadium, Long Island City, has probably been the victim of more poor decisions at the Grove, even in its old quarters, than any other boy who has boxed there during the past two years and, seemingly, the jinx still follows him. CABLE FROM AL BROWN ARRIVES Riding on the crest of a wave of success which has carried him to added fame in Europe ever since he arrived in the old world, Al Brown continues to dazzle the Parisians with the dexterity of a right hand which has been causing havoc in fistic circles in the Franca capital for the past few months. Those in Harlem who can look back to those days of the Commonwealth when Al had that same right in the best working condition can very well appreciate what he is doing at the present time, for his work in the ring right here in Harlem made him one of the most popular fighters right up to the time that Jess McMahon answered the call of Tex Rickard HURDLERS TO BENEFIT NOW --- Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes Changes Many Rules At the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America's annual convention last Saturday in the Columbia University club rooms, several important changes in rules were adopted. Without doubt, the hurdlers received most of the benefits to be derived from the changes. The association did away with the disqualification of a hurdler for knocking over three or more hurdles in an outdoor race or two or more hurdles in indoor race. Starting with the outdoor championships in May, a timber-topper knocked all the hurdles and still remained in the college officials decided that hitting a hurdle and losing one's stride was enough penalty to force a hurdler to take all the obstacles cleanly. Another hurdle penalty was struck from the books and a substitute one adopted in the face of strong opposition. Instead of setting a hurdler back one yard for the first false break, the I. C. A. A. A. A. delegates decided by a vote of 13 to 6 to disqualify a hurdler on his second false start and to eliminate the penalty for the first break. The proponents of the new rule were of the opinion that setting a man back a vard in a hurdle race killed his chances entirely, for it threw him off his stride from the gun. The hurdles themselves were increased in weight from 16 to 24 pounds, so that they would be able to stand up better under punishment. The specifications for the new standards, already adopted in the high jump and pole vault, were officially written into the rules. The new standards permit the crossbar to fall off either backward or forward, and the bar rests on a support 1½ inches by 2½ inches, instead of a peg. The new standards were user last week in the intercollegiate championships. A new scale of penalties for false starts in flat races was adopted. Instead of a yard for all races, the convention adopted the following scale: one foot for fifty yards, two feet for seventy-five yards, one yard for 100 yards and up to 400 yards; three yards for 440 yards and up. On the second false start the penalty is repeated, and on the third break disqualification is ordered. The applications of St. Bonaventure College, Alfred College and Marquette for membership were tabled for lack of information about the eligibility rules of those colleges. The entry of the Michigan Angles brought the membership in the I. C. A. A. A. to forty colleges and universities. The finances of the association were reported in prosperous condition, and a profit of $22,900 for the fifteenth annual outdoor championships also was reported. to act as matchmaker at the Madison Square Garden arena. Brown's latest victory came on the 12th, in Paris, France, when he went in against Kid Socks, one of the best little men in Europe. The white boy made a fairly good showing in the early stage of the battle, nibble the Harlem lad had things his own way from the start, being satisfied to give the fans a run for their money. The end of a persevering effort for Socks came in the fifth round when Brown suddenly let loose that devastating right which connected solidly and sent Socks down for the full count. Knowing that hundreds of his friends who are readers of the Amsterdam News would be anxious to know the result, Al hastened to the cable office as soon as he got into his street clothes, and ended the result of the fight, again bearing Spread the Roar. He accounted to the homebound at at least a week.

Spears, star Howard athlete, was seriously injured in an automobile accident here last night. The Baltimore Athenians, returning by automobile from a game played here, ran into a heavy collision totally wrecking the car and shaking Spears was the only one suffering serious injuries, sustaining a fracture of leg and ankle. He is confined to the Atlantic City Hospital. Carlisle Defeats Yankees WASHINGTON, D. C. March 1 —The Washington Yankees, for five consecutive years unlimited D. C. champions (white), suffered their first defeat of the season at Lincoln Colonnade last Tuesday evening. It was the first time since the Yankees were organized in 1912 that they have ever been defeated by a colored club. The Carlisle victory is all the more impressive when the Yankee Lineup is considered. Sporting the colors of the Yankees were Nate Johnson, community of the Washington Palace, Professional League, Eldelstein of Georgetown University and Earl Moser of the Baltimore American Professional League. The game was about the best seen here this season. The first half found the colored tossers on the short end of a 15-10 score. In the second half the Carlisles forged ahead and at the third quarter were leading by a 21-20 score. The final count was 26-25. Slim Henderson, 19-year old pilot man of the Carlisle, easily outplayed the veteran Sanher. He accounted for 11 points. Sonny Hawkins, substituting for Derek Danin, amassed a total of 10 points. Sweeney was the high scorer for the Yankees with 9 points. The Carlisle victory was their fourth in five starts and their third straight in five days. NEW MANAGER AT WALKER A. C. Rather Uncertain Career for Harlem Club Since Jess McMahon Left Promoting boxing bouts at the Walker A. C. seems to be a tough proposition these days. Within the past four weeks three different interests have been involved, and, beginning with this Saturday evening's show; still another will attempt to do his stuff. Fred Miller of Forest Hills, L. L. is the new boss. Miller is new to Harlem. He has had wide experience in the game, having promoted fights throughout the Middle West for years, and is well acquainted with George P. Moore of Portland, Ore. Several years ago the new promoter also invaded forcibly lying his trade, and with success. Miller indicated when interviewed Saturday night that he desires to become better acquainted with what the community wants in the way of bouts and expects to co 1917 SPRING OF THE UNITED SONS INCORPOR AT MANHATTAN 155TH STREET A BORDENT'N COP IN RETURN TILT BORDENT'N COP IN RETURN TILT Wissahickon Speed Marvels Fall Before Jersey Wildcats, 32-5 BORDENTOWN, N. J. March 12 —Bordentown's "Miracle Five," prospective claimants for the seccional title this year in amateur basketball circles, gained a sweet revenge here tonight when it trampled the speedy Wissahickon Boys' Club of Germantown underfoot by a 32-5 score. The Speed Marvels had previously inflicted a ten point defeat on the Jersey schoolboys and they found the Bordentown quintet on edge, eager for revenge. The one-sided score furnishes no indication of the thrills that the game held, for from the opening game to the final whistle both teams were in there fighting. The Germantown boys showed the never-die spirit that has snatched so many victories from defeat in the past, but after the first quarter they never had a chance to gain the lead. Neale started things off for Bordenton by slipping away from his guard and sinking a goal two minutes after the game started. Russ followed up with a beautiful tap shot which travelled fifteen feet before it found the basket. This giant forward was unstoppable. With a total of six field goals and three foul shots he was high scorer for the evening, but was closely pushed by Captain Bennie McCann. A 20-3 tally at half time was stretched during the second half without undue exertion. Wissahichon seemed badly rattled after the first quarter and consequently missed many chances for a score. They were able to garner but one field goal during the entire game. Beautiful passing by both teams featured the contest, with Bordenton having the edge on guarding. The Jersey schoolboys wind up their season this week with two games with Student Council of Newark. Their record of seventeen games won and but three lost stamps this combination as the best yet turned out by Coach Granger. Ten Letter Men Answer Initial Call for Diamond Candidates WASHINGTON, D. C. March 12. - Fortified with a galaxy of players with Captain Monroe at the helm, the 1927 Howard University baseball team is prepared to face the forthcoming season with excellent championship prospects. Forty candidates, including several promising prospects from last year's Freshman team, answered call on Wednesday afternoon, March 9, for indoor practice under Coach Burr's direction. Among the ten letter men who have reported so far are Captain "Meljj" Monroe, the Baltimore slugger, and said to be the greatest shortstop that Howard has ever produced; "Johnnie" Codwell, the Texas flash, and proclaimed by baseball critics as the greatest second baseman in collegiate circles, and forming with Captain Monroe the greatest keystone combination that Howard followers have ever witnessed; "Tick" operate in that respect. Tom Fury, who has been at the club since the Eddie Koven administration, is the new matchmaker for Mr. Miller. Tom is all right and knows a lot about Harlem and what is necessary in the community to make the Walker a paying proposition, and stated that, if given a free rein, will do his best. Tom is said to know his stuff, so it is possible the Walker Club is destined to pick up where the McMahon boys left off. There is only one way, Tom! Al Brown Knocks Out Socks Smith and "Harry" Payne, unexcelled fly-chasers; "Les" Braden, third baseman; "Fred" Shade, southpaw pitcher; "Babe" Jefferson, catcher. Manager Earl Bridges has announced two practice games for March 23 and 24, which will serve the double purpose of giving Coach Burr a true line on the capability to make plays. The schedule includes many intersectional games. Outdoor practice will start as soon as the weather permits and Howard will be on the road to the Collegiate Baseball Championship.

Last week, he the young timber-topper was seen sharing the Imlcmeight with the "Musical Threep"—one of the features of the "Ratin Go" company at the Lafayette Theatre. Not that we are attempting to enter the role of music critic, but his rendition of "On the Road to Monday" deserves some praise and the former maple leaf wearer was the recipient of much applause. Since his arrival in this city about a year ago, he has spent most of his time to the development of his vocal ability. He has appeared at many concerts and as soloist at St. Mark's M. E. Church—"America's Cathedral of Negro Methodism." Holland possesses a voice of rare quality and is said to have moved to this city at the best of one of the Damroscies. Despite the time required for his studies, Holland still keeps in trim by putting in an hour or so at a local gymnasium. As soon as the outdoor season sets in he plans to enter into a period of rigorous training and redeem himself at the National A.A. championships. He has also signified his intention of trying for the Canadian Olympic team of 1928. It will be remembered that the Canadian star had been in his first star-of-the-day race in his first star-of-the-day race, and he taken up the category 1 seat for the starting race contrary to the advice of his physician—Dr. Bingu Diamond, himself a great athlete in his day. Holland suffered a leg injury while training for his initial appearance here and since then has been resting so as to give it time to heal. In the 1925 season, his banner year, Holland went through with only one defeat; which he lost by stumbling over the last hurdle after leading the field by ten yards. His track career reminds us of Roy Morse, former national sprint champion. Starting in as a long-distance runner, he experimented with almost every known event, including pole vaulting, sprinting and high jumping, finally landing as a hurdler of exceptional merit. Canadian papers speak well of the colored athlete and mention him as "an ideal athlete, clean living and trying hard in every event he turned his hand to." versity singers. The same verdict was rendered this year. The program rendered follows: "Ave Maria" (Vittoria); "Give a Ronse" (Bantock); "Lady of the Legoon" (Bantock); "Shadow March" (Protheros); "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See" (Negro Spiritual) sung by Lester Dorse.

ATTENDED the session of the Supreme Court on last Monday to hear the argument of the New Orleans Segregation Case. While I missed the specific thing I went for, I was more than doubly repaid by the privilege of listening to Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, the venerable jurist of eighty-six years, deliver the judgment of the court in the Texas Primary Case. The decision was clear-cut and decisive from beginning to end. Judge Holmes delivered the unanimous opinion of the court, including Judge McReynolds of Texas. It may not be without significance that the last three affirmative decisions of that august tribunal touching the constitutional rights of the Negro have met with unanimous concurrence. Democratic and Republican judges, those from the North and those from the South, have united in overthrowing the grandfather clauses of State constitutions, in denying to the States or the municipality, the creature of the State, the right to restrict the use of property on the ground of race and color. brought within the preview of "petit" game fiction. May not this remarkable unanimity indicate that the North and South have come to an agreement on the race issue, and that politics are adjourned when they deliberate upon race issues in united council? Does it indicate a liberalized attitude; or merely a generous agreement to accord the Negro his rights in the abstract, with the reserved understanding that they will not be clothed with concrete realization? The grandfather clauses were negatived by the Supreme Court more than ten years ago; and yet it is to be doubted whether a single additional Negro has actually voted on the basis of this decision. The segregation decision of 1916 has not had the slightest diminutive effect upon segregation. Will the Negro in Texas and elsewhere actually participate in the franchise by reason of this legal victory; or is it to remain an abstract ethical victory of pure legalism? The case in litigation was a curious case. A Negro in Texas demanded his citizenship right to vote in the Democratic primary. The members of the Supreme Court must have cracked their sides when they turned aside from the technical legal aspect of the case to indulge in a lighter vein. A Negro insisting upon his right to vote in Texas—in a Democratic primary! Who has ever heard of greater political absurdity. I was in the city of Waco several years ago when a case of this character was presented for the first time. I talked with the colored attorney who pushed it to successful issue in the court of first resort, only to be overruled by a higher jurisdiction. Let it be noted, also, that this case has absolutely no political advantage to the Grand Old Party, the Negro's erstwhile philosopher, guide and friend. The drama was staged wholly within the confines of the Democratic Party. Whatever political advantage comes to the race, the indirect credit must go to the Negro's traditional political enemies. But the Democratic Party does not need the black man's vote in the South. It serves purely as the negative cause of a positive result. The most significant feature of this decision consists in the fact that it is not based on race or color, but fundamentally upon citizenship rights. Mr. Justice Holmes waived aside the Fifteenth Amendment as being unnecessary to the issue. The decision falls flatly upon the citizenship guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment, which has become the palladium of American liberty of all men, regardless of race or color. Under this decision, any citizen who has been deprived of the right to vote on equal terms with all other citizens will have a case in damage against the State or agent of the State who frustrates the clear meaning of the Constitution. Thus, any Negro in Mississippi or Georgia who through fraud or intimidation has been refused his political rights can bring suit for monetary damage. This puts THE TEXAS PRIMARY CASE Negro Press 100 Years Old Today the case in its most favorable and feasible light. Theodore Roosevelt was the last statesman who brought forth a feasible plan for the Negro to function politically in the First Negro Newspaper Founded Here March 16, 1827, by J. Russwurm TWO significant events took place in the year 1827 New York State abolished human slavery and the first Negro newspaper had its birth in New York City. That was exactly one hundred years ago today. Vast changes have taken place in the United States and in the world since that time. Looking for a moment at a map of the lines of the United States at the opening of the nineteenth century — twenty-seven years before John B. Russwurm, a native of Jamaica, British West Indies, edited the first issue of his, and the Rev. Samuel E. Cornish's Freedom's Journal, we find that at that time the United States extended only to the Mississippi river. West of this was what was then known as the Spanish Territory and Spanish Louisiana, a vast stretch of land reaching the Pacific Ocean on the west, Canada on the north and below to the Rio Grande on the south Florida belonged to Spain. Kentucky and Tennessee were spoken of as the "far west." The capital of the United States was yet in Philadelphia, but was shortly removed to its present location in the District of Columbia. The population of the country was around 5,000,000, over a million of which were Negro slaves. One hundred thousand more Negroes were in bondage in states north of the Mason and Dixon Line. Virginia alone had 350,000 slaves; and out of South Carolina's 100,000 population, 70,000 were in slavery. By 1806, the year in which Robert Fulton began making his steamboat "amid the jeers of suspicious and incredulous" spectators, New Jersey was the only state in the North which had not provided for the gradual abolishment of the slave traffic. But slavery continued to flourish in the Southland—there were nearly 2,000,000 slaves in America by 1827—and it was the attempt to check its growth that gave the first Negro newspaper its birth. When Freedom's Journal was born, Frederick Douglass, who later was to play an important part in the progress of the Negro press, was but ten years old: Books" T. Washington was not born until 32 years later. Russwurm, who was born in 1739, was also the first Negro to be graduated from an American college, his alma mater being Bowdin College in 1826. In 1829 he went to Liberia to superintend the public schools there and edit the Liberal Herald. He died in 1831, at which time he Negro Women in Journalism A. E. DEAN KELLY MILLER. South. He hoped to build up a strong opposition party. under igro Pre A PR was governor of the District of Maryland in Liberia. Freedom's Journal lived but a short time, and with the twenty-seventh number, following the withdrawal of Mr. Russwurm, the name of the paper was changed to the Rights of All by Mr. Cornish, and was published until 1828. Volume I. No. 3. of Freedom's Journal, reproduced on this page, carried the "Memoirs of Paul Coffee," an article captioned, "People of Color," and a "Cure for Drunkenness." One hundred years after finds society still looking for a cure for the same "evil." Slavery continued to make headway and free Negroes in the North began to feel the need of another periodical to champion the cause of freedom. To meet the situation, the Rev. Mr. Cornish and Philip A. Bell started the Weekly Advocate, with the former and latter editor and proprietor, respectively, later changing the name to the Colored American. The paper finally passed into the hands of Charles B. Ray, and was published at No. 9 Spruce street, New York City. A humorous sideline on the Colored American is that the proprietor did not consider a subscription to it "discontinued until all arrearages are paid, except at the discretion of the publisher." The time for decisive, urgent, and unceasing fight for freedom and citizenship, from 1838 on, seems to have taken firm root in the mind and heart of every leading Afro-American" says I. Garland Penn in his history of the Negro press, and four years later The Elevator was established at Albany, New York, by Stephen Myers. That same year—1842—William G. Allen, assisted by Henry Highland Garnett, established The National Watchman ONE HUNDRED years ago today—March 16, 1827—John B. Russwurm founded the Freedom's Journal in New York. This newspaper, absolutely in the interest of the abolition of slavery, was the first to be published by Afro-Americans. At that time journalism was not a profession; newspapers were luxuries. But the twentieth century brought with it the recognition of this new profession by the leading American universities and colleges. More than that, newspapers — whether standard size or tabloid, four or twenty pages — are now a necessity. Women, the other necessary half of humanity, however, entered the field when Prof. Mary V. Cook of Bowling Green, Ky., in 1886 wrote "Nothing but Leaves" in The American Baptist. In 1887 she edited a column THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1927 By KELLY MILLER the leadership of the most courageous and capable local men who believed in the equal rights of all men and who possessed courage to give their political faith effective expression.

Of course, I do not mean the brand of statesmanship played by Perry Howard and Ben Davis. They have no intention of functioning locally. Their objective is to hold together the skeleton of a Republican organization with the hope of influencing national patronage when the Grand Old Party is in power. Let us concede that this minor role is great advantage for the race. When the colored man finds favor in the eyes of the court, his race is the incidental beneficiary.

This gives great advantage which may be used for racial good. But this brand of statesmanship would never get the race very far in politics. It will never confer the unchallenged right for every Negro to vote for every officer by whom he is to be governed in the community in which he lives. Without this privilege politics are practically meaningless. Why is there no competing political organization in the several Southern States as we have in the North? Is a purely Negro party desirable? Has the Negro at present the experience, courage, initiative and means to project and sustain such organizations? In Maryland the Negroes are relatively as numerous as they are in Texas. And yet, there is not the slightest attempt to deny or abridge this citizenship rights. The same thing is true of Delaware, West Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky. Years 6 EGRO JOURNALISM IN AMERICA M. M. KELLEY S JOURNAL. FRIDAY.

Lambert of the St. Matthew's Lyceum Gazette (Detroit); Mrs. M. S. Crary of The Provincial Freeman (Canada); Adah M. Taylor and Mrs. A. G. Cooper of The Afro-American Budget and Southland. Today Negro women are grasping the meaning of journalism as a profession. Many of them are choosing it as a vocation, rather than as a "bit or miss" pastime. You find graduates in the School of Experience, graduates of the colleges, and also women who are still students employed by most of the Negro newspapers. In New York, working as society editors, critics and correspondents to various weeklies are the following women: Miss Sara Jenkins of The New EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS The real question growing out of this decision is whether white men in Texas and the other Southern States will undertake to organize a new party with broad principles appealing to all citizens whose rights have been guaranteed and confirmed. The only feasible alternative is for the Negro to imitate the litigant in the present case and vote the Democratic ticket in primaries and in the general election, whether the maangers want them to do so or not. I see that Senator Blease has raised the scare-cry of Negro domination. If women, with their political ineptitude, cannot dominate masculine politics, how can the Negro, who is in the minority, end, at the same time, without wealth and experience, dominate the whites? Although women have the franchise on equal terms with men, they serve mainly as political ciphers to give political power to the masculine figures. How much domination do the Negroes in Maryland exert upon the State; or Delaware, or West Virginia, or Kentucky, or Mississippi? Old Too RICA at Troy, New York, followed the next year by The People's Press, edited by Thomas Hamilton and John Das, at New York City. Then came The Genius of Freedom, 1845 or 1847, edited here by David Rugles; and the Ham's Horn, 1846, edited by Willis A. Hodges at No. 142 Fulton street. There is an interesting story connected with the starting of the Ram's Horn, which gives a good reason why the Negro of the time found it advantageous to have his own mouthpiece, so as to all the more effectively fight the institution of slavery. The "Colored Clause" in the New York State Constitution denied all free Negroes the right of suffrage who did not own at least $250 worth of taxable real estate, on which the taxes had been paid. No such limitation was imposed upon the white men and prominent Afro-Americans met in New York City to petition the legislature to lift the embargo on the Negro's vote. The legislature, after much wrangling, decided to submit the matter to the voters. The New York Sun favored the discrimination and urged the voters to vote "No" to it. Mr. Hodges prepared an article setting forth the injustice of the statute and submitted it to the Sun for publication, which, of course, was refused. The Sun finally agreed to publish the article for a consideration of $15, and after ironing out all of its strong points, sandwiched what was left in the advertising columns of the paper. When Mr. Hodges complained of this, he was told in plain English that "the Sun shines for all white men, and not for colored men." and that if he wanted a newspaper to espouse the cause of the Negro, he would have to establish one himself.

Hidge of the "The Two Old Line Parties Have Swapped Places --- Present Attitude of the Democrats Favors Rights of Negroes Without Their Intending It" With these examples clearly before us, there is no practical wisdom of rejuvenating the old scarecrow, which has been dead for a generation. This decision ushers in a new era of political hope for the Negro, if the statesmanship and good sense are forthcoming to take advantage of it. It is going to be very interesting to see how the Grand Old Party will react to this decision. It works against their present-day plans and policies. The party of Lincoln and Grant fil-bustered a Congress to death because there was insistence on the part of the Democrats that the Federal Government had jurisdiction in primary elections. This decision hits their conten- Negro Press Came Into Being to Fight Institution of Slavery did. The Ram's Horn lived until 1848. Many of us know that in 1847 Frederick Douglass established his North Star at Rochester—afterwards changed to Frederick Douglass' Paper (1838)—and that his newspaper played a great part in the final emancipation of the Negro. Contemporaries of the North Star were The Imperial Citizen, established at Syracuse in 1845; The Colored Man's Journal, New York City; The Alienated American, 1832, at Cleveland; The Mirror of the Times 1835, at San Francisco; The Herald of Freedom, 1855, Ohio; the Christian Recorder, established by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in 1856, at Philadelphia, with the Rev. Jabez Campbell as editor. The Christian Recorder is the only Negro newspaper started at that time that is still alive. The Anglo-African had its incipiency in 1559, under Thomas Hamilton—his second venture in the newspaper field—at No. 43 Beekman street, and under its various editors and changes of its title fought for the cause of freedom until after the close of the Civil War. The Colored Citizen, Cincinnati; the Mirror of the Times, San Francisco, successor of the Pacific Appeal; the Elevator, San Francisco, edited by a newspaper man of rare ability of the time, Philip A. Bell; were the most outstanding contemporaries of the Anglo-African. With the close of the war, the primary mission of the Negro press was completed. Yet, there was work to be done if the results of the conflict and Emancipation were to be secured to the race. Soon after the war ceased the South saw its first Negro newspaper established in Augusta, Ga., when the Colored American was started. It was followed by others that soon died along with it. But the Colored American lived long enough to sound the second keynote of the Negro press in America—the education of the masses, the advocacy of industry, remonstrance against constitutional proscription and the duties of the freedmen as citizens. New York office of The Chicago Defender; Mrs. Geraldyn Diamond of The New York office of The Pittsburgh Courier; Miss Grayce Johnson of the Tattler. Down in Pittsburgh, Mrs. Julia Jones has full charge of the women's department of The Pittsburgh Courier. One cannot overlook the inspiring work of Georgia Douglas Johnson on the same journal. The home office of The Chicago Defender has none other than Mrs. Bertha Moseley Lewis, an experienced newspaper woman, as its society editor. Then, too, in Chicago, Mrs. Katherine E. Irwin, formerly editor of The Half-Century Magazine, is the managing editor of The Bee. The Woman's Messenger (Chicago) has Mrs. Ezella Matts tion squarely between the eves. The two old-line parties have swapped places. The present attitude of the Democrats favors the rights of the Negro, albeit they do not intend it to be so. The honest-minded student of political history is simply amazed at the slimster ethics of certain Republican statesmen who threaten to open up long acquiesced in subversion of the Constitution by Southern Democrats if they continue to insist upon alleged corruption in Northern States. Or, as the New York Times puts it: "If you do not permit us to buy our elections, we will not permit you to steal yours." But the Supreme Court has beaten them to it. By the strange frony of events, the Negro's traditional political enemy may unwittingly prove to be his political savior. Improvement Association Secures Ordinance Repeal LOS ANGELES, March 14 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Organized effort upon the part of nine Negro residential improvement organizations who comprised the membership of the Progressive Federation of Improvement Associations of California, representing 2,500 property owners, who own collectively $5,470,000 worth of Los Angeles real estate, resulted in the recent appeal of a city ordinance that would have permitted the erection of a factory on Thirty-seventh street and Central avenue, in the heart of the colored business and residential section.

What is more enjoyable than Ebony Flute, the column conducted by Gwendolyn Bennett the artist, in Opportunity Magazine? The children's section of The Crisis, conducted by Eilee Lee Newsome is indeed interesting. The purty style of Zora Neale Hurston as a short story and special feature writer makes her a figure in "the limelight of writers." The United States, according to statistics, has over 500 Negro periodicals. No one of these has reached perfection; all of them have room for improvement. Without a doubt women are helping to advance these papers. Women who elect to work with these papers, have a favorable chance of raising the standards of present day journalism through "the children of their brain." If you are a woman and think you want to write, can write—and should write—choose this profession. Be thoroughly prepared for the task. It was Norith Nicholson who said "the only way to learn to write is to write." Give to your readers the best that you have and help raise the standards of journalism in America.

Old Brooklynite Passes Away Devotion to III Brother Remembered by Many Churchgoers In the passing of Miss Amelia Benedict, 69 years old, Brooklyn loses one of its oldest citizens. Miss Benedict, who lived at 1755 Ormond place, in the Ridgewood section of the city, died at her home Sunday, March 8, after five weeks' illness. She was ill while attending Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, of which she was a member for many years. Miss Benedict was born in the Williamsburgh section, and was a member of an old New York family. She can best be remembered by many church-goers for her constant attendance to her brother, who was an invalid. She could be seen bringing him to and from church, despite his condition, for a number of years. Though he might have been some trouble to attend, and voicing his lack of permit her to give any visible evidence of any loss of patience or anger.

Chief Armoah at Nazarene A Negro Utopia is the Gold Coast of West Africa. A glowing picture of this "Mecca" was presented by its King, Chief Nana Armoah III of the Fanti Tribe, who is on his second visit to this country in an effort to study the problems and conditions of the American Negro. The Chief, who addressed the congregation of the Nazureane Church, Herkimer street and Troy avenue, last night, is of pure, African blood and a linear descendant of the first Fanti King of centuries ago. He has made extensive tours incognito in his desire to study the Negro the world over, as well as his official trips as King of the Fanti. He has taken night in some of his customary naked robes not in the kingly regalia, which is too elaborate to be carried, he gave a graphic description of the Gold Coast of the Fanti customs and ceremonies. "What is perhaps the most noteworthy fact," he stated. "Is that our kingroom, rich and fertile as it is, is pure Africanano. There are no white settlers, no European landowners—it is an African homeland. It is for this reason that our race might always have a spot to call its own that we have never allowed the other races to own our customs and manner of living emulations of the Europeans, but are our very own. We have Fanti laws, Fanti ceremonies and Fanti modes." The Gold Coast, world famous for its mineral as well as general wealth, has a population of 31,000, ruled by forty chiefs, over whom Chief Armoal is the head. It is his belief that, if the American Negro would specialize in the various studies of law, medicine, engineering etc., he could then become a civil servant homebound well equipped to govern the country that is rightfully his. The Fanti, the Chief said, are keeping their land in readiness for this realization.

Questioned by Detective Daly, Miss Walker is alleged to have added the thefts from the Manheim home. She was arraigned before Magistrate Conway to answer the grand larceny charge. Bathing Beauty Contest Here Brooklynites to Compete at Charity Ball Decoration Day Brooklynites will be treated to its first Bathing Beauty contest and charity ball when on Decoration Day night the officers and members of Brooklyn Lodge will present a bevy of beauties for the entertainment of the people of Brooklyn at Arcadia Hall.

The lodge and the two temples affiliated with it are combined to make a "real life" night for charity and for the reception end John C. Smith's and Brooklyn Lodge orchestras will supply the music. For the bathing contest, the committee has arranged to accept entrants at once and those desiring to enter may do so by sending their names and addresses to Brooklyn Lodge Home, 1065 Fulton street, Brooklyn. Entries will close May 1. Three cash prizes have been provided and will be awarded by the judges immediately after the contest to the successor once. Because of the whole action, being arranged for charity, the committee has set the price of reservations at $5.00 and it is expected that the public will take them at once.

Much of this work never comes to the public's attention, yet Brooklyn Lodge has a highly creditable record for relieving the sufferings and aiding the worthy poor. And Ruler Thomas L. Higgins, with whom the ideas originated, together with his entire staff are putting all their energy into the affair to make it a decided success. Funeral of Mrs. Cornelia Owens in Jamaica, L. I.

This trip was in 1954, when half of the members on board the Roosevelt perished from the cold. Only two men from the remainder of the party volunteered to accompany Perry on another attempt. These men were Hugh Lee of Maryland and Henson. Besides these men and a tribe of Eskimos the ship also carried more than 100 sludge dogs. Thirty-two of these were eaten by Pearl and his crew when he supplied of ice cream whereas a storm carried the Roosevelt adrift for 110 days. The weather encountered while adrift was unbearable and many of the crew perished. At times, according to Henson, the thermometer registered 69 and 70 degrees below zero. This was the coldest weather the expedition was forced to undergo throughout the journey. "The Eskimos," said Henson, "are a unique race. They have no religion, are without government, and are lawless. Their clothes are made from the skin of the white seal and walrus. The manufacture of the garments is a very tedious one. "The skin," he said, "when taken from the body of the dead animal, immediately freezes and becomes very brittle. It must then be softened for clothing material. This is accomplished by the women, who continually chew the hide, which is slung over their backs." In the southern part of Cape York, according to Henson, the Eskimos live in tents made on the outside from walrus skin. The inside is well covered with a sheeting of deer hide. Unlike their brothers of the Labrador region, the natives of Cape York eat mostly deer meat. This animal was sacred until Peary's crew civilized them to the use of the meat and skin. The natives of these uppermost northern regions, he said, live on one hot meal a day. The others consist of three more meals which are frozen. The sun in these parts rises on the fifth of March and sets again on the twenty-fifth of October. Proceeding further north the surviving party passed through the Coast of Labrador. Bannell or Grant Land, Cape Sheridan and Cape Columbia. In the latter place the temperature remained at 68 below. The last lap of the trip was accomplished solely by the use of dog sleds. Many obstacles had to be overcome throughout the 413 mile journey through Greenland, on the frozen Polar Sea, until April 19, 1909, when the American flag was placed at the top of the world. George M. Butz, president of the Victoria Men's League, after a brief address, introduced the speaker, whose services were secured through George F. Hohner, a member of the organization.

Phone Prospect 6375 111222 Residents Seek Aid of Police Residents Seek Aid of Police Police Protection Asked for South Side Section of Jamaica Police protection is needed on Jamaica's South Side, so much so that the situation has become alarming and, if relief is not forthcoming commensurate with the growth of this section of central Queens, officials of the law are going to find themselves confronted with a problem that will take some time to straighten out satisfactorily to all concerned. During the past three weeks burglaries of all sorts have been committed and at least a dozen fires have occurred south of South street, taking in the territory from Glice avenue, on the east, out beyond Cedar Manor and west of Sutphin boulevard. Within this particular community reside the majority of race people in this city and, while persons of the opposite group to date have been the principal sufferers in this respect, many of our group have been the victims of attempted hold-ups by young white ruffians. Two of the most dangerous places where the would-be hold-ups attempt to ply their trade is at the tunnel under the Long Island Railroad tracks at 109th avenue, between 157th and 158th streets, and the trestle over the tracks at 11th avenue, at 159th street, both of which are without police protection at the time of night, when pedestrians are on their way home from business. And even many small children, probably sent to nearby stores by their parents after dark, have held up and robbed of what money they had. A similar situation exists in Cedar Manor, east of Sulphin boulevard, especially in 113th and 114th avenues, as far east as the Cedar Manor station, where a bluecoat is rarely seen even in daylight. This section is in the midst of a building boom and becoming as thickly populated with citizens of both colors as communities north of it. One of the strongest organizations in this community—the Sulphin Boulevard Association, has been fighting all winter to get more police detailed here, without success, and have extended an invitation to colored property owners within their boundary to join them in this fight.

The children, hitherto educated in the modern steam-heated school building of Dover Township, were ordered to report at the church after February 1. Only five responded. The parents of the other twenty are awaiting trial in the County Court for withholding their children from this "Jim Crow" school. That the hooded organization is partly responsible for the situation, however, is shown by the fact that Klansmen in full regalia turned out at the dedication of the new schoolhouse last Feb. 22. It was also said that religious differences played a part in the children's remaining away from classes. The new school for Negroes is housed in a building used by the African Methodist Church on Sundays. It was said that most of the pupils who stayed away were members of Baptist families. LOCAL BOARD CRITICIZED. Gov. Moore, it is said, ordered an investigation of the Jim Crow regulations. John H. Logan, who has been charged with that task, gave out a statement in which he accused the local board of "going too far in its order segregating Negro school pupils." It was David A. Veeder, acting head of the board of education, who declared that segregation was put into effect because it was felt the Negro children were further behind in their studies and did not progress as rapidly as other children of the same age. Most of the children are from families which recently have come here from the South. 13 to Take Newark Patrolman Exam. 13 to Take Newark Patrolman Exam.

Russwurm, first Negro college graduate in the United States (Bowdoin), established his Freedom's Journal, with the financial assistance of the Rev. Samuel A. Cornish, in New York City, to combat slavery. This gave inspiration for the founding of any number of other newspapers, both here and elsewhere, to fight the same evil. CONSEQUENTLY, all Negro newspapers established prior to the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation were mostly of the propaganda-organ type. The destruction of slavery meant everything to the Negro race and its young press and the newspapers of the day could not have been expected to keep step with the American press in general. WITH THE DESTRUCTION of slavery and with the close of the Civil War the first period of the Negro press may be said to have been brought to a close. Then began the second period—a period which confronted the newly freed race with other and more difficult problems of adjustment, but still leaving little room for the press to expand and come into its own as a real purveyor of news of the varied activities of the race. It is probable that this period was more trying for Negro editors and publishers than the first, because of the misguided notion that, with slavery out of the way, the Negro press had accomplished its work, leaving nothing for it to do, when, as a matter of fact, its work had barely begun. Today finds the Negro press still on the firing line and fighting many of the problems which grew out of the period of Reconstruction; but the fight is being waged in a different way, and begins with the presentation of facts—both favorable and unfavorable—to the masses of the race. WITH THE ACCEPTANCE of this idea of newspaper work, the Negro press may well be said to have entered upon its third period, and has begun to take its place in the journalistic life of the nation. No longer may a Negro newspaper subsist by merely yelling: "Race! Race! Race!" Propaganda is giving way to accurately reported news, opinion is being more and more confined to editorial pages and signed articles, which, with entertaining features, are attracting attention to the Negro press on a merit basis not unlike that which underlies the American press in general. THE STATE BOARD OF HOUSING has recommended that the Emergency Rent Laws, as applying to New York City and Buffalo, be continued until June 1, 1928. EDITORIAL PAGE You Can't Lose LAST WEEK THE Amsterdam News announced details of the greatest subscription campaign that has ever originated with a Negro newspaper, at the conclusion of which something like $5,000 in valuable prizes and cash is to be distributed to those who join hands with us and help us put the campaign "over the top." There is nothing phoney about our "Everybody Wins Campaign"—the exact conditions under which the gigantic prize distribution will be made are as set forth in this issue of the paper. THE FIRST PRIZE, a Model 240, fourdoor Special-Six Nash Sedan, which will be awarded to the person receiving the highest number of votes, when purchased fully equipped, and including freight and tax, is listed at $1,724 throughout New York City. The second prize, a Light-Six four-door Nash Sedan, is listed at $1,184, and in addition there will be awarded $750 in cash prizes, making a total of $3,658, which amount does not include the commissions to be awarded all candidates who stay in the campaign to the finish, and which amount cannot be accurately determined until the close of the campaign. IN INAUGURATING our "Everybody Wins Campaign," The Amsterdam News has been actuated by motives which we are willing to state: First and foremost, as an expression of our appreciation for the support and confidence the public has in us. Second, to increase our circulation—already the greatest of any newspaper published or circulating within a radius of 100 miles of New York City —so as to render an even greater service, and third, because we have the largest circulation, we do not ilatter ourselves that we are reaching every possible reader in our territory. We believe that there are hundreds of colored people living right here in Harlem who never heard of The Amsterdam News or any other Negro newspaper. These we would like to reach, and, in doing so, render each other a mutual service and be of greater service to you who already know us. YOU CAN'T LOSE. Help us put our "Everybody Wins Campaign" over the top. Become a candidate yourself, or nominate someone you would like to see win one of the major prizes to be awarded. Chicago's Black Belt and Thompson IT IS ALREADY CLEAR that if William Hale Thompson is re-elected Mayor of Chicago he will owe his success to the South Side's 50,000 Negro voters who, dispatches tell us, went 10 to 1 for him in the recent primary election. Thompson, who is a Republican, was the wartime Mayor of the Windy City. ALREADY Mayor Dever, the present incumbent, who is a Democrat, has seen the handwriting on the wall, and while it is a little too far away from his eyes to be accurately deciphered, the scribbling has made him a little uneasy, to say the least. This uneasiness has evidenced itself through the action of Chief of Police Collins in clamping down the lid on the South Side's cabarets, the throwing of 1,000 of its residents into jails on flimsy charges, and in attempting to attribute the Chicago riot to the lax police methods of Thompson's Chief of Police. "THE BLACK BELT," says a recent report which appeared in the daily "69th Congress Meant Little to Citizens of Color" press here, "always has been notorious for its gambling and vice dens," but, however, without adding that it is no more so than other sections of the city, both under Thompson and Dever, and thousands of the country's most desperate white criminals operate within the confines of the city and commit some of the most heinous crimes of modern times. tears is not the South Side's lawlessness, but the fact that Negroes in Chicago elections hold the balance of power and that in the coming mayoralty fight their weight may be thrown on the scales against him, spelling certain defeat. IF THE MASSES of Negro voters in Chicago want to oust Dever, we are with them. We do not believe that they would vote against him so solidly without cause. We believe that the political destiny of the Negro in Chicago is still in the hands of intelligent Negro men and women. So far, they have overcome every obstacle placed in the path of their political advancement, and amid the corruption, amid the vice, made Chicago today the most progressive Negro community in the North. IT IS TO LAUGH! President Borno's refusal to permit Senator King, of Utah, to land on Haitian soil is a joke, any way you look at it. Haiti is under American occupation. President Borno holds office by virtue of that occupation. Senator King, though a Democrat, is opposed to the American oc- WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special to the Associated Negro Press).—The Sixty-ninth Congress of the United States sputtered, fumed and finally drenched away with the Senate locked in the death grip of a filibuster over "Missouri" Reed's election investigation committee, while the House was witnessing the spectacle of a Southern Democrat proposing the name of its Republican speaker for President. Few Congresses have accomplished so little. Some of the most important bills of the session were lost in the parliamentary battle occupying the last few days, among them the general deficiency bill, carrying provisions of the utmost importance to veterans of the world war, farmers North and South, as well as public building projects, which would have released a flood of money into various cities and helped somewhat the unemployment situation throughout the country. Negroes must have viewed the Sixty-ninth Congress with mixed feelings. Not a single measure which might be construed as of especial benefit to the group passed. The immigration quota bill became a law, controlling future immigration on the basis of the number of nationals already in America. This measure, which takes effect in 1928, will restrict somewhat the quotas from northern European countries. The South opposed it unitedly. Many well informed Negroes contend that while a few more foreigners will be admitted under the new law, they had rather seen members of the Latin races coming to America than those of the English and related nationals. The former do not fit so well into the channels of national prejudice. Skilled workmen in Northern cities claim that the English artisan is the most intolerant of any who come to America. The Watson-Barker railroad labor bill, backed by the Republicans and Democrats alike, took away the old Railway Labor law, which required railway workers had made repeated raises and subsumed in press here, "always has be for its gambling and vice however, without adding more so than other section both under Thompson and thousands of the couns desperate white criminals in the confines of the city some of the most heinous modern times. fears is not the South Siness, but the fact that Negro elections hold the power and that in the colony fight their weight man on the scales against him, tain defeat.

The Pullman porters have the first case on record before the new tribunal and they are armed with able leadership and counsel. Onlookers are waiting to see what they can accomplish. There was hope when the fight came up in the Senate over the seating of Frank L. Smith, senator-elect from Illinois, and William S. Vare of Pennsylvania, that it might react to turn the spotlight on disfranchisement as practiced in the South. The Democrats fighting to unseat three Republicans—Smith, Vare, and Gould of Maine—expected, if successful, to gain control of the Senate. They flung themselves behind the effort to continue during the summer the "Missouri" Reed Committee, which had uncovered the slush, in the hope that it would dig up still more material embarrassing to the Republican parity. Southern senators—the Hettins, Garroways, Harris and others of their ilk—every one of whom sits in a fraud-tainted seat due to the nullification of the Constitution in the States which they represent, Insofar as Negro voters are concerned, ranted loud and long about the sanctity of the Senate and cast reproaches on the North for its money controlled elections. The Republicans, never able to stand up under the lash of the South, squirmed in their seats, occasionally threatening in a half-hearted way to bring up the matter of Negro disfranchisement in retaliation, but the Bourbon lambed at them. Too long have they sat supinely by and even connived in the practice by their silence the unconstitutional and illegal offrenties of the Crackers and hill billies from Georgia, Mississippi and Arkansas. Reed, the re-faced senator from Missouri, who hopes to ride into the Democratic nomination for president on the public platform, is getting the nomination in advance of Republican elections, when threatened by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania with an investigation of Southern elections, laughed contemptuously and said "If the Republicans desired such an investigation in good faith it would have been bad long ago." The anti-livestock bill was not even brought up this session, save to be introduced by senators and representatives from Negro districts that needed it as a campaign issue.

Theong the King, the king of ignorant, as claimed, they stand on constitutional ground in demanding for their children equal opportunity with white children and are supporters therefore of real Americanism. LETTERS of himself, by his anti-Catholic and anti-Negro trades, Moses asked about Heflin's opposition to the anti-lynching bill and referred to his shooting a Negro in the back of the head on a Washington street car. Heflin, who became a near murderer in the street car incident, explained that he paid $2,000 in doctor bills to keep the Negro whom he shot from dying. He said the Negro aroused his southern clivarly by lurching against a white woman passenger and defended his opposition to the anti-lynching bill by saying it had been introduced by northern Republicans in the House to capture Negro votes and that it would expose white women to "the unmentionable case." Heflin recently made a speech of two hours in the Senate, confined to telling dirty stories on the Negro which brought constant laughter from Democrats and Republicans alike. The Senate confirmed during this short session Minister to Liberia James G. Carter. It was about the only constructive racial action taken. The Liberian appointment was one of the few opportunities which the administration had to play politics, but it turned down the many political applicants including "Billie" Francis of St. Paul, backed by a federal advisory committee of the Republican National Committee. The passing the Sixth-ninth Congress finds the political fortunes of the Negro at low ebb, and colored Washington watches it go with a sigh of relief.

If it were not so delicate it would not be so easily injured; but then it could not perform its wonderful work. Nearly every one has some eye defect. Nine out of ten persons under 21 years of age have defective eyes. Beyond that age the prevelance of eye defects increases, until at the age of forty it is almost impossible to find a man or woman with perfect eyesight. The defect may be so slight that it causes no serious trouble. On the other hand some small errors, under certain conditions, frequently cause much suffering. No physical defect contributes more directly to fatigue and inefficiency than eyestrain, or is more responsible for waste of vitality, effort, time and material. The value of our eyes—the sense of sight—cannot be expressed in any terms. Next to life itself is vision. The hand-malden of happiness and beauty. Save for it the scenic grandeur of nature, the witchery of colors, the smiling faces of little children, would be empty and meaningless. It is the cornerstone of wealth. Without it the ships of commerce would rot at their pliers, the cogs of industry cease turning and business would perish. It is the wide open door of education and diversion. It transcribes the printed page, the movie screen, the artist's canvas to human mind and comprehension. It is the master and servant of mankind. Yet millions have defective eyes. The great majority are unaware of impaired vision and do not know that theirs is less than a full measure of the most valued of the senses. Many others do not understand that a considerable degree of the vision they do THE POET Poems submitted for publication be returned unless accompanied envelope.

The result is, the tissues of the body become overfilled with poisons, absorbed from an overfilled and putrefying digestive tract. The Negro as a group, is a great offender in this harmful custom. Pork, such as ham, pork chops, pig's tails, pig's knuckles, hog maw, chittings, are the kind of food that is too prevalent in the diet of the Negroes. The prevalence of heart, kidney and blood-vessel diseases among Negroes, to my mind, is due partly to this excessive eating of pork and meats. Too much proteins and nitrogenous substances are taken into the system in such a diet. The kidneys, liver, heart and gastro-intestinal tract are overworked with such a diet. The Negro if he wishes to reduce his illness must stop being such a pork eating group. Lamb fish and chicken are the only kind of meat necessary as a routine diet. Once in a while a piece of beef may be taken. Greens such as spinach, kale, cabbage, string beans, celery and lettuce are important for the everyday meal. They contain vitamins, cellulose and proteins as combinations necessary for tissue building and the prevention of constipation, carotts, carrots, asparagus, collard greens, tubaricum and are necessary. Rice bread and macaroni will give the starchy carbohydrates. These are the common foods of merit eaten in the proper proportion which will act as the foundation for a daily diet. The Negro as a rule eats a heavy meal too often. A heavy breakfast, a heavy lunch and a heavy supper is the custom of a large number of people. They call this "three square meals a day." This to my mind is not "square" but rather "unfair" to the already overburdened liver. I say liver, for this is the organ that has much work to do in converting the toxins and poisons and harmful elements in food and into harmless substances which can be eliminated through the sweat of the skin, the urine of the kidneys and the fecal matter of the intestines. When one eats three heavy meals a day, such as pork, beef, vegetables, starches, pastry, the work of the liver becomes too much, and its normal function becomes impaired. When this occurs poisonous food toxins are formed and accumulate in the circulating blood producing dipsypsia, chronic constipation, arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, heart and kidney diseases. My observation and experience in treating diseases are that the Negroes eat too much of the wrong kind of food; too much of the right kind of food, and being constant frequenters of many restaurants, and lambchops in the community, they very often eat spilled food" foods left over, which the cook cannot waste, and foods spoiled from a lack of proper refinement. To those who desire to be free from disease, the diet becomes a matter of infinite detail and continuous care. enjoy is gained through nerve exhausting eyestrain. Give attention to your eyes. Do not neglect your most prized possessions.
