CANDIDATES JOCKEY FOR FIRST PLACE AS BIG CAMPAIGN STARTS IN EARNEST Nominations Continue to Pour In --- Many Live Ones Just Getting THE "Everybody Wins" Campaign has now begun. Second only to the extraordinary value of the big prizes is the honor and glory that will go to the proud winners. In truth, there is no way that an active candidate can lose, for in accordance with the rules every active participant will be paid for every minute of the spare time used. EVERYBODY WINS. Proof of the popularity of The Amsterdam News' liberal offer is the increasing interest that is being shown daily. SEVERAL CANDIDATES NOMINATED Although several people have been nominated it will be seen by the vote standings, which are always shown in the paper, there is plenty of room for many more "live wires" to enter the campaign. More votes have been cast for the candidates by their friends than most of those nominated have secured themselves. Those nominated have each been notified, and it is expected that these will be heard from within the next day, or so, and that the nxt list of standings will see many new names added and interest increased in the race. Also, candidates who have been nominated and who already have votes to their credit are expected to get in touch with The Amsterdam News office promptly. Failing to report either by phone or mail will mean that the names will be withdrawn and the votes cancelled, and right here we want to remind readers again that votes cannot be transferred from one candidate to another. In view of the fact that every active candidate, in accordance with the rules, is guaranteed either a cash award or one of the bigger prizes, it is necessary for every candidate nominated to get in touch with the Campaign Manager immediately; failure to do so means that they automatically forfeit all rights to a prize or a cash award, and the votes will be forthwith cancelled. This is fair warning! MORE VOTES GIVEN NOW Right now you get 15,000 votes for every one year subscription to The Amsterdam News. For your first subscription you get 115,000 votes.

Hankins, of the Department of Sociology of Smith College, said Saturday that in time the Negro population of the country bids fair to disappear. Prof. Hankins made this prophecy at a luncheon at the Hotel Woodstock before members of the Conference on Immigration Policy during a discussion of the National Origins Clause of the present immigration law. Max F. Kohler, a lawyer who for several years has been interested in immigration, asked Prof. Hankins, who had spoken in favor of the national origins plan under the quota law, if the restriction of immigration had not resulted in such a lack of labor that the Negro population was spreading in the North in a manner that increased the problem of the Negro. "The Negro population in the Northern industrial centers and cities does not reproduce itself." Prof. Hankins said. "As he comes in contact with hardier stocks and in the more strenuous life of the city and industrial community as compared to the smaller communities in the South there is a high death rate and an apparent loss of fecundity among the Negroes. "Relatively, the Negro has been on the decrease in population for twenty years. Between the years 1910 and 1920 the Negro population increased only 650,000, while the rest of the population, leaving out immigration, increased at the rate of a million and a half a year. "By 1935, according to present indication, I believe the Negro population of the United States will be decreasing absolutely, and I think that this will go on until as a separate population the Negro will have ceased to be a factor of importance." Toms River Board Scored in Order TREENTON, March 21—John F. Raison obtained Thursday an order from Supreme Court Justice Frank T. Lloyd directing the board of education of Berkeley township to admit Raison's son, Frank, 19, to the Toms River public school.

The same day State Senator Alexander Simpson introduced a bill in the New Jersey Senate making it a misdemeanor to segregate children in schools on account of race.

Although no definite building program has been formulated, it is expected that the present building at 181 West 135th street may be carried through at the rear to West 136th street, or it may be sold and a new site selected for a modern 15-story structure.

Morgen, campaign director who has raised over $30,000,000 for "Y" work throughout the country, painted a most vivid, concrete picture of the remarkable details of the campaign, declaring it to be the greatest campaign in "Y" history. Daniel A. Poling, minister of Marble Collegiate Church, and president of the Christian Endeavor Society, spoke briefly and eloquently voiced the whole-hearted support of the church of the Christian work of the "Y" and of the success of the campaign, Richard V.

Wilson, who petitioned the delay because the associate counsel, William H. Lewis, is in Europe at this time and will not return until early next month. Charges of assault and battery were preferred against Officer Shelburne on February 6 by Mrs. Madline Prints, 758 Washington street, better known as the "Perfect Woman" in the health contest of 1923. Other charges were preferred by officials against the officer on the strength of statements of a citizen that when he was informed that a delirious woman was in an alleyway, off Blue Hill avenue, Roxbury, he failed to go to investigate. It was later said that the officer had carried the woman there. The third charge against him, growing out of the same incident, was that Shelburne failed to call the police ambulance to remove the woman to a hospital. Shelburne was cleared of the assault charges before a hearing of a police trial board, February 18. He was found guilty of the two other charges and suspended from the force. The defendant appealed. At the previous trial Captain Fitzgerald of Station 9, from which Shelburne worked, praised him as a first class police officer. Mrs. Shelburne, wife of the defendant, in an interview, said she had absolute confidence in her husband and that she is of the opinion that he is being framed.

Representative Celler and Others Address Trinity Church Meeting "The colored people are no more proud of Jack Johnson than the white people are of 'Kip' Rhinelander," said Dr. C. A. Butler, president of the Citizens' Welfare Council, speaking Sunday morning at Holy Trinity Baptist Church, DeKalb avenue near Franklin avenue, at the first of a series of revival meetings. The opening service, which had been arranged by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. T. S. Harten, as a "race relationship meeting," was addressed by former Mayor John F. Hylan, Representative Emanuel Celler, former U. S. Senator William M. Calder and the Rev. Dr. Herbert B. Munson, secretary of the Brooklyn and Long Island Church Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. More than 1,500 men, women and children attended the service. At one point in his talk Dr. Butler urged the congregation to be proud of their lineage, and described the recent work of archaeologists in Egypt, who spent a fortune in reaching the tomb of "King Tut" in a colored monarch of ancient Egypt. "Remember, they spent $1,000,000 to find a colored man and he was a dead Negro," the Rev. Dr. Harten interrupted to say.

The large congregation vociferously approved their pastor's suggestion. Former Mayor Hylan utilized the pastor's reference to his political career by referring to the Mayoralty primary campaign of 1925. He repeated charges he has made several times since the last Mayoralty campaign that he had been turned down for a renomination by the leaders, and not by the people of the Democratic party. He presented the Eighteenth Amendment and the recent decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court in the Texas and Louisiana race discrimination cases. WITH THE I. WITH THE I. B. P. O. E. OF W. By CHARLES T.

SIX --- 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 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 noitation is in RIGHT AWAY. Charles W.

Campaign begins at once and nominations may be made at any time. No employees of The Amsterdam News or any member of his or her family is allowed to enter the election. The Amsterdam News reserves the right to reject any nomination. Winners of all the prizes will be decided by their accredited votes, said votes being represented by ballots issued on each subscription. In case of a tie an identical prize will be given to those tied. Subscriptions may be secured anywhere. Cash must accompany all subscriptions to receive votes. No distinction is made in the vote value of either old, new or extension subscriptions. Votes are FREE. It costs nothing for subscribers and readers to vote for their favorites. Votes will be issued on receipts covering back payments. Votes cannot be purchased. Every cent accepted by the campaign department must represent subscription payments. Votes are not transferable. One candidate cannot withdraw in favor of another. Should a candidate withdraw from the campaign his or her votes will be canceled. Ballots issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted at the discretion of the candidate. No statement or promise made by the solicitor, agent or candidate varying from the rules and statements published through the paper will be recognized by the publisher. In case of typographical error or other error it is understood that neither the publisher nor the campaign manager shall be responsible, except to make the necessary corrections. It is distinctly understood that candidates will be responsible for all money collected and that they will remit such amounts in full at frequent intervals or on demand. In addition to the several prize awarded—there will be a distribution of 5 per cent of money collected in subscriptions by candidates as commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners, but it is distinctly understood that in event any candidate becomes INACTIVE, failing to make a weekly cash report after making the first one, he or she will become disqualified and therefore forfeit the right to participate in this commission. To insure absolute fairness in awarding the prizes the campaign will be brought to a close under a "sealed ballot box" system and will be under the personal supervision of two or more Judges selected from the Advisory Board. During the entire last week of the campaign candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections, in a locked and sealed ballot box, and not until the race is closed will the seals be broken and the Judges begin the final count. In this way no one, not even the Campaign Manager or the Publisher, can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates, which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. The Amsterdam News reserves the right to amend the rules of this election if necessary for the protection of the interest of both the candidates and this paper. In accepting nominations candidates agree to abide by the above conditions.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1927 FIT LIFE INSURANCE IMS STANDARD LIFE States Most Gigantic Finan ed and Controlled by NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY RECLAIMS STANDARD LIFE FOR THE RACE Contract Creates Most Gigantic Financial Institution Owned and Controlled by Negroes S. W. RUTHERFORD Secretary-Manager R. H. RUTHERFORD President-Treasurer JOHN R. PINKETT Agency Director T. J. FERGUSON Asst. Secretary in Charge Standard Divi- sion M. T. J. FERGUSON Asst. Secretary in Charge Standard Division --- --- --- JOHN H. HARRIS R. H. RUTHERFORD President-Treasurer M. The signing of the contract on March 16th by which The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Washington, D. C., took over the business of the Standard Life Insurance Company stands as another milestone in the road of Negro progress and achievement. In addition it stands as another monument to the business sagacity and foresight of that pioneer of insurance men, Samuel Wilson Rutherford, who in 1898 founded the company to which he has given twenty-eight years of uninterrupted service. The growth of The National Benefit through this period has been both steady and sound, and the institution has through its lifetime commanded wide attention for its capable and conservative management. There is little doubt that the high position which the company occupied even prior to this transaction was due to the leadership and ability of Mr. Rutherford, who has served as its Secretary-Manager since the date of its organization. During the past decade we have seen the beginnings of numerous business enterprises among Negroes, and especially has the number increased in the field of insurance. There has been a great deal of talk about the advantage of combinations and consolidations, with their attendant economies of operation, but it remained for The National Benefit to put these theories into practice in a big way. We have noted in recent years some of the greatest mergers between banks, insurance companies and other commercial enterprises among the other group, and we have seen the resulting reductions in operation costs, the ability to give to the public a better commodity at a lower cost, and the assurances of greater permanency in business. The National Benefit and the Standard Life are the first two companies of unusual magnitude in their resources, operating among our people, to carry forward this modern business idea to a successful conclusion. The joining of these two companies gives to the race an institution with $75,000,000 worth of business in force, and makes The National Benefit the largest financial institution of our race. It is interesting to note and study the leaders and the forces which were responsible for the successful combination of the resources and man power of two institutions which have made their impress upon the economic development of the Negro race. The early history of Standard Life as a corporation organized in the State of Georgia, in 1913, is well known to those who have followed the course of Negro business. Starting from the very bottom, it grew to the point where in January, 1925, there was approximately twenty-six millions of insurance in force on its books, and with assets of nearly three million dollars, it represented the largest life insurance company of the race doing an exclusive ordinary life business. At this time the business was taken over by The Southern Insurance Company, a white institution of Nashville, Tennessee. To see the company pass out of the control of Negroes was without a doubt a blow to our racial pride, and the only hope of future control and ownership lay in the idea that at some time in the future the Negroes might be able to exercise the option granted them in the contract, to buy back the business during a ten-year period. After a year of operation by The Southern Insurance Company the business was sold to a group of white capi- M. H. S. W. RUTHERFORD Secretary-Manager AARON DAY Asst. Agency Director talists of Arkansas, who organized the Standard Life of Arkansas exclusively for the purpose of taking over this business. It is from the hands of this group that the entire organization passed into the hands of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company. During the two years of operation under white management, the main office of the company has always remained in Atlanta, and the Home Office personnel, Field Force, and Branch Office organization has been held practically intact. Uppermost in the minds of those who have remained with the Standard Life under the leadership of T. J. Ferguson, General Manager, was the one thought of holding together and conserving the business until some plan could be worked out whereby ownership of the company could be brought back to our group. Associated with him in this program were: Dr. C. C. Cater. Medical Director; Aaron Day, Jr., Director of Agencies; Jos. H. B. Evans. Supervisor of Branch Offices; C. E. Arnold, Assistant Secretary; J. C. Arnold, Conservation; A. M. Carter, Statistician, and J. B. Blayton, Auditor, the Agency Managers, Field Force and Home Office employees. With this as their goal there was no question but that the official group in Atlanta would enter into the project sponsored by The National Benefit and give it their loyal and enthusiastic support. Much praise is due the Field and Clerical forces, who kept the business going and who served as an inspiration to the army of policyholders of Standard Life to keep their insurance in force. That their efforts have borne fruit is attested to by the fact that over five millions of insurance was put on the books during the past two years, and approximately twenty-three millions was retained, to be added to the already large volume now carried by The National Benefit. It is one thing to see the benefits of such a combination as this, but it is quite another matter to work out a complete plan for its consummation that meets the tests of good insurance procedure. Here was the first point at which President R. H. Rutherford evidenced that keen judgment which has carried through all of the negotiations, for he went to one of the foremost firms of insurance actuaries in the country — Miles M. Dawson & Son — and secured the services of Mr. Alfred B. Dawson, the junior member of the firm, to give his personal supervision and attention to the handling of the plan. The firm of Miles M. Dawson & Son. of New York City, is recognized as one of the leading firms in matters of insurance procedure, and the plan as worked out will thus be assured of a continuation of the counsel and guidance of men whose contribution to the field of actuarial science has had an inestimable value in the development of present insurance practice. Counsel for the National Benefit in closing this transaction was the firm of Candler. Thomson and Hirsch, represented by Mr. W. D. Thomson. Quoting from a statement made by President R. H. Rutherford, when he was congratulated on the successful outcome of the plan—"Service to the public was the main motive which prompted The National Benefit to consider this deal." But the finest of motive would have availed nothing had they not been backed up by the enthusiastic and persistent endeavor of this brilliant executive. Mr. Rutherford began his career with The National Benefit as THE NEW YORK TIMES M. F. SMITH Asst. Secretary T. DR. C. C. CATER Medical Director, Standard Division an agent and received his training in life insurance at the hands of his capable father. His position as executive head of the largest Negro financial institution in the world is a well deserved one, and there is no doubt that this represents to him not the climax, but the beginning of an era of larger service and endeavor. In the handling of details attendant upon the closing of the deal Mr. Rutherford was ably assisted by Mortimer F. Smith, Assistant Secretary of The National Benefit, one of their most trusted and valuable officers, and John R. Pinkett, Agency Director of their Ordinary Department. These men have a quiet and unassuming manner, but underneath is a courage and a dare-to-do spirit that served to overcome the various obstacles which arose. All are agreed that this present combination could not have become an actuality had it not been for the co-operative spirit and support of officials and employees of both companies, who labored zealously for the consummation of this epoch-making transaction. In the initial stages of this matter The National Benefit was materially assisted by Honorable Scipio A. Jones, well-known attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, and C. B. King, of Memphis, Tennessee, Agency Director of the Southern Division of the Company. Credit must also be given to the Negro leaders whose faith and hope that the Standard would ultimately return to Negro ownership influenced them to stand solidly behind this movement; to the helpful attitude of the Negro press, reaching as it does the rank and file of our people; to the other insurance and financial institutions whose friendly attitude is evidenced by their intense interest in every movement which represents a forward step in business progress, and last, but not least, to the vast army of policyholders of both companies, who realize the fact that they can make bigger and better opportunities for our people through their allegiance to institutions which have as their purpose the husbanding and conserving of the resources of our race. Prominent among the Negro leaders and deserving of special mention is Attorney A. H. Martin, of Cleveland, Ohio, who initiated and carried to a successful conclusion the long-pending suit to clarify and permanently settle the Standard Life affairs. This resulted in a decree of the Court approving the acquisition of Standard Life by The National Benefit as the best method of completely clearing up the situation that existed in the past. A perusal of the following figures is an interesting study, and one cannot read the facts given below without feeling a great measure of pride in what is now the largest Negro Insurance Company even more the largest Negro business, in the world. The National Benefit now carries $75,000,000 worth of insurance in force on the lives of more than 300,000 Negro policyholders. The total assets of the company are more than $4,000,000. They have the largest employed force of any institution in the race, consisting of more than 300 officials and employees at the Home Office and in its Branch Offices. 750 Supervisors. Agency Managers and Assistant Managers, handling a Field Force of more than 1,500 men, and 600 Medical Examiners. Here, then, is presented to the public a bigger company with an opportunity for a wider diversification of aid in the economic advancement of our people—a company built "NOT FOR POWER AND PRESTIGE-BUT FOR SERVICE."

But at the same time he will be compelled to pay his wife, Mrs. L. Griffin, 502 East 165th street, ten dollars a week alimony for an indefinite period. At the trial it was brought out that the Griffins were married about five years ago in New York City and have a 5-year-old daughter.

Questionnaire Arouses Ire of Intercollegiates The members of the Intercollegiate Club expressed themselves freely Sunday afternoon at their meeting at the Urban League Building on a questionnaire that they were asked to answer by a graduate student of Columbia University, a young southern white woman, who is seeking a master's degree. The questionnaire on the Negro was described by the members as being too limited to allow full expression relative to the many issues raised. They concluded that a thesis based upon the answers to the question would not contribute in a scholarly and definite way to the solution of the race problem. Many of the questions contained in the questionnaire were regarded as being nonsensical. Mrs Louise Johnson, who pre- H!

WEDDINGS. # Treating Children With Courtesy By HELEN GREGG GREEN "Hail ye small, sweet courtesies of life. For sweet do ye make the road of it."—Sterne. WHILE Aunt Emmy-Lou and I were calling at Doria's small Throck trotted in from school. "Good afternoon, Aunt Emmy-Lou. Good afternoon, Mrs. Medill," he nodded, cap in hand. "Mother, I think —" "Don't speak to me, Throck. You greeted my guests, but never a little 'good afternoon' for Mother," Doria whined. "But, Mother, I —" "Run along. Throck. I don't care to be bothered now. Can't you see that I have company?" And in a most impressive way she waved an eru humilating him not soon forget it. "O. Aunt Emmy-swered after a m I do thank you." And wouldn't it to remember that boys and girls to considerate of others must set the exam. "At B" When sinks the repose, The soul from The peal of the Brings peace a Upon the clear Its echo warms The child hung his head, and got away as quickly as possible, his small face scarlet. "I will command respect and courtesy from my son." Doria declared. And then Aunt Emmy-Lou said: "Oh, Doria, I am ashamed of you!" "Ashamed of me? Why, Aunt Emmy-Lou, what do you mean?" "Just this; parents who expect courtesy from children must set examples of courtesy. Courtesy beets courtesy." And you were positively rude to Throck." "But——" Doria hesitated. "he was discourteous to me, when he came into the room." "Not intentionally so. my dear. He was so intent on telling you something, he simply forgot. While you were intentionally rude to him.

Deaconess X's Secret In the intermission between morning church services and Sunday School a few of us, having nothing else to do, had a grand time talking about that thing called "Personality." Deaconess X was the innocent cause of the discussion. "Girls," and she beamed so pleasantly—goodness just shown on her countenance—"won't you sell some tickets for our fair?" And wonder of wonders, we willingly agreed to do our best. Usually when someone says something to us about buying or selling tickets we think immediately of an urgent appointment and tell them we'll see 'em later or tell a long one about how we had just promised to sell some for Sister Brown or Brother Smith. After we had each taken ten tickets we looked at one another. The tone of question on each of our responses was: Why did we do it? Why would we so readily sell tickets for Deaconess X and not for Deaconess Y? We decided that she must have "As we sat there we classified the people we saw passing as having it or not having it. We found that on the whole we agreed as to who had it and we next determined to find out what those qualities were that gave them "Personality." We found that the twelve that we selected as having it and those things in common: 1. Wide awake interest in the welfare of their fellow beings. 2. A ready, sincere smile. 3. The art of being interesting conversationists and sympathetic listeners. 4. A pleasing general appearance. None of them was particularly good-looking, but their pleasantness accentuated their best features and improved the others. Most of them were enthusiastic, careful workers for humanity, whose very presence influenced the most morose and gloomy of persons. IS THIS WEARY MOTHER DOING HERSELF JUSTICEI I am only thirty-two years old but I am as if every day is my last. My first husband died leaving me with a beetroot. I must begin again and as my second husband is always grumbling about the support of the child. I take in washings and try my best to support it. This I have done for the past few years. My husband drinks and gambles, and although he works every day of the year, Sunday included, he doesn't give me any money. He tells me he has paid the rent on my very bills but I am very often embarrassed by having someone run in to me in the street and ask me when my husband intends to pay his bills. I pay them with the little money I get from washing the people will trust us if we should really need it. I don't want to put my boy in a home. Instead I would like to find an elderly or disabled couple to bring him. I would to my best to provide for him as long as the good Lord sees fit to spare me. I will appreciate your help very much, for a long time. I have prayed for a change in my life. A WEARY MOTHER. My Dear Friends. I should think you would be weary.

This restores the newness. Are your leather seats and backs of chairs dull? Just beat the white of an egg and rub the covers thoroughly. Then polish with a clean, soft cloth. Dull scissors? Run the blades across the neck of a small bottle, in the same position as though cutting off the neck of the bottle. Shiny garments do not add to your value as a well-dressed person. Sponge the shiny garment with a solution of one teaspoonful of ammonia to one quart of water. Then press the garment on the wrong side. The Cook Says --- If lard has become strong, cook it until all the water is removed, putting a small quantity of salt in it while cooking. This will sweeten the lard. Try this for your biscuits: Roll the dough thinner than usual, make two cuts and place one on top of the other. The biscuits open easily. Strongly flavored vegetables, such as cauliflower, cabbage and onions, should be cooked in an uncovered saucepan. Eggs will not crack if you wet the shells thoroughly in cold water before dropping them in boiling water. one-half inch thick and spread with chopped apples, rolling like a jelly roll.

LYONS 316 N. Central Oklahoma City, Okla. Beauty Secrets By Mme, Baral of Washington It is surprising how many skins are imperfect. Some are disfigured with pimples. Some are peppered with blackheads. Some scaly and rough. The openings of the large pores of the nose are sometimes filled with dirt. The wrinkles of the neck are discolored, if not actually grimy. The skin of the body and the arms and the hands may be free from blemish, but the face of the same person is far from perfect. Why is this? There are many reasons. One is that the face is exposed to the elements, to dust and dirt. But so are the hands. Another reason for bad skin is bad eating. Eating too much pastry and greasy foods; neglecting the stomach and intestines; drinking too little water. All these contribute to a defective skin. But why should the face suffer any more than the rest of the body? It is because the face is dirty or because your efforts to clean it are improper. Almost everybody washes the hands several times a day, but the average person washes the face only a few times may bake the face upon returning from business or before retiring. But it cannot be denied that the part of the body most exposed to dirt and dust gets the least attention. We come now to another cause of soap: Too much of us use the wrong kind of soap. If it is highly alkaline product, the oil of the skin is dissolved and the surface is left unprotected for the at- ELEVEN tack of germs and poisonous contacts. Use non-irritating soaps, and after washing grease the face with a good cold cream. Rub this cream off with a soft cloth. Massage your face and neck frequently and notice the improvement in your complexion.

HUDGINS INDIGNANT Performer Scoring Sensational Hit With "Blackbirds" Says Story False Writes to Ask That Amsterdam News Deny False Statement Copped by Negro Newspapers From White Theatrical Publication Florence Mills' Show Expected to Make Summer Run in London TWELVE Best Amuseme in Greater Ne HUDC Performer Scoring With "Blackbird Writes to Ask That Amster ment Copped by Negg Theatrical Publication Expected to Make Su A few weeks back one of the most sensational stories that ever came out of Europe concerning Negro performers on that side "broke" via a white theatrical publication in New York City and every colored newspaper, with the exception of the Amsterdam News, hopped on the story and gave wide and sensational publication to if. That story was of the supposed stabbing of Johnny Hudgins by another performer with Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" at the London Pavilion, London, England. Some of the colored publications went so far as to date line the article as coming direct from London, when all the time the only London they ever received direct communication from is West 46th street, heart of the New York theatrical district. With Ivan Browning of the Four Harmony Kings acting as special European correspondent of the Amsterdam News and in company with Hudgins almost every day and night, we refused to print a line of the rumored stabbing as Browning, we felt, would have despatched a special cable to this paper. Mail coming from Europe last week brought Browning's special theatrical matter and not a line did he even vouchsafe anent any stabbing. To cap the climax, the following letter came from Mr. Hudgins, who has scored one of the most remarkable successes that ever fell to the lot of a colored performer in Europe, which include the remarkable hit scored individually by the late Bert Williams and George Walker: Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Dramatic Editor. N. Y. Amsterdam News. New York City. Dear Dougherty: Deny for me with all the em- emphasis at your command the story of my being stabbed as it is false and I would like to contradict the statement.

The charge made by Eugene Gordon in his summary of the work being done by Negro newspapers that many of our publications forget truth in their rush towards sensationalism was never more evident than in the above case. Without any attempt at confirming such a serious rumor, publications making a play for the support of the New York public eagerly accepted what the white publication said without any investigation. Shares Honors With Whiteman Elwin Harris a Feature With Paul's Band at Night Club Master Elwin Harris. 16 (and small for his age). 148 W. 19th street, who was a riot during his recent appearance with Paul Whiteman's Band at the Paranount Theatre, is now a Broadway sensation at Paul Whiteman's night club, Forty-ninth and Broadway. This little fellow can hold any stage doing his single, which includes singing, dancing and a marvelous performance on the tenor banjo, which he taught himself to play, never having taken a single lesson. His hobby is copying pictures from the funny sheets and his drawing is as good as his act. He has a private tutor for his school lessons, and his father travels with him. This little jazz-brownie, who took two encounters at every performance at the Paramount, is nightly strutting his material at Whitman's by cornering the market on pleasure over five white acts that precede him. Prior to the time Whitman discovered him he was appearing in vaudeville, having started on his career by entering Charleston Contests at Charle Turpin's Booker Washington Theatre in his home town, St. Louis, Mo. At a New Year's Eve celebration, 1923, at the Congress Hotel, St. Louis, Whitman's Band was engaged to play and Master Harris was booked along with several entertainers. Whitman was so impressed with the youngster's unusual ability that he hired him at once under a long term contract. First National at Roosevelt Intensely Interesting Screen Story With Splendid Acting. "An Affair of the Follies," a First National picture which will be at the Roosevelt Theatre, is our idea of the most enjoyable sort of cinema entertainment. It combines an intensely interesting screen story with splendid acting and an unusual array of beautiful girls. Lewis Stone, Billie Dove and Lloyd Hughes are featured in the picture, while Arthur Stone, Arthur Hoyt and Bertram Marburg contribute excellent supporting roles. The story from which the play was adapted, a "best story of the year" entry, written by Dixie Wilson under the title of "Here Y Are. Brother," treats several colorful phases of New York City life with Helping to Draw 'Em In CLARENCE SMITH "MOVE! FINDY YOU PEEL DEPTT."

Moreover, it has a "punch," and sparkling comedy to offset touches of pathes. Miss Dove appears as a dancer who marries a clerk and tries to make ends meet for two on half the income she was accustomed to earning. Lloyd Hughes is the husband. Lewis Stone the intruding NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1927 but human and likable millionaire who admires her. With those and supporting role, the plot weaves real drama, suspense, and a number of unusual situations. The film was produced for First National by Al Rockett, and directed by Millard Webb. It is wholesome entertainment that patrons of all ages will find to their liking. What They Think of Johnny Hudgins in Europe Newspaper Clippings From England SCOTSMAN, EDINBURGH MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS is droll a dancer as one could h to see. There is rich humor every gesture he makes. LONDON DAILY TIMES The appearance of Mr. JOHNNY HUDGINS In a conversation a few days ago with a well-known Newspaper Reporter, and a typical Scotchman he was! it was most interesting to hear him speak about the clever work of HUDGINS. He said that it has been twenty years since a COMEDIAN from America. THE MUSICIAN birds' ten times, and each time it thrills me more and more, most especially when HUDGINS sings his 'Wow Wow' number, and, besides, his dancing is truly the funniest thing I have ever seen." With such personal comments from royalty and other persons of such class, besides these write-ups from the entire EUROPEAN PRESS, it certainly does stamp this young artist as an international favorite. A prominent London West End manager said that he had been informed that HUDGINS, while won- has made such a tremendous success as this lad is doing in England and in coming from a party (or a night out, as they say over here) in the "wee" hours of the morning recently, this Scotch gentleman, "WARR," as is his name, went into a lunchstand out near the exclusive Buckingham Palace district to get a "bit" of TEA, and lo and behold, even in this lunchstand was a picture of HUDGINS in his "WOW-WOW" pose and as WARR entered the BUNCH in this lunchstand were having a real jolly good and hearty English laugh at this picture. In the meantime, in steps his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, who was making ONE of his frequent visits "incog" to this popular lunchstand in the wee hours of the morning, joined in the laughter and said to the bunch: "I have seen 'Black- birds' ten times, and each thrills me more and more, cially when HUDGINS 'Wow Wow' number, and his dancing is truly the thing I have ever seen." With such personal com royalty and other person class, besides these write the entire EUROPEAN certainly does stamp this ist as an international fat A prominent London manager said that he ha formed that HUDGINS, Newspaper Clippings From Ostend, Belgium TREATRE, MUSIC HALL, CINEMA JOHNY HUDGINS. . . is a master of silent comedy, and it is a scream when they add to his silent lines the walling of the theater, and the comic dancers, not one has sur- passed his prowess. COM CEDIA: JOHNSE HUDGINS, the Negro comedian, who is funnier than any comedian ever seen in BELGIUM, as there is real originality in his comedy. When he sing his client song he does it with a surprising finesse. derfully clever as a pantomimist and a dancer, it is said that he can not do lines on the stage, but on further inquiry he was informed that had HUDGINS remained with the late American colored show "Chocolate Dandies," and continued to do lines as SINGING THAT "WOW WOW" a wonderful picture of JOHNNY, and when it is finished he will be presented with it as an appreciation of his unusual ability from an admirer. Using the English slang. "JOHNNY HUDGINS has really arrived" and is accepted as one of the cleverest artists that have ever been seen on an English or European stage and perhaps AMERICA will think the same when he returns home. LANTERNE. But most astonishing is JOHNXY HUDGINS. After you have made sure to applaud, he is really very funny. His dance on the floor with an imaginary partner is a very pleasing bit of originality. We hope to see JOHNXY HUDGINS again very soon. NOUVEAU SIECLE. More striking in appearance, JOHNNY HUDGINS, with his blackface make-up on, the last word in marvellous pantomime, puts an elegance in his comedy, where he is a kind of saviour of human nobleness by his own comedy which cannot be surpassed in BELGICM. Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty cleverly as he did in it, "Chocolate Dandies" would have certainly stayed on Broadway for a long run. However, HUDGINS has received and is receiving many offers to remain in Europe at the finish of "Black-birds," and if accepted it would be a long time before he would return to the States. The English say that he is G L ORIOJS and "jolly well so." One fact to be appreciated is that without the aid of a PRESS AGENT or ANYONE to boost and keep his name in the papers, magazines, etc., his work has stood out to such an extent until now he is perhaps the most well-known comedian in all of Europe, and at last for some reason his name appears in the LIGHTS in front of the London Pavilion in Piccadilly Circus, besides large pictures. that are easily seen. A very fine West End artist is painting wereful picture of JOHNNY, when it is finished he will be bid with it as an appreciation annual ability from an ad- certain the English slang, "JOHN- DGINS has really arrived" accepted as one of the clev- ists that have 'ever been seen English or European stage maps AMERICA will think he when he returns home. By NAVI GNINWORB. ECHOS. JOHNNY HUDGINS, a Negro comedian, pantomimes a song which, accompanied by the cornet, succeeds in giving the sensation of the human voice, and the dance of this Negro, a dance waltz in the same film, and danced in the same spot, is one of the most pleasing exhibitions of talent we have ever seen. ACTION: BELGIUM his last time, mindy, lee- his sur- - The happiness of the evening is the marvelous blackface con- dian, JOHNNY HUDGINS, who, in an appearance all too brief, has accumulated so many tricks and turns that I don't know how to praise his invention and origi- nality. Newspaper Clippings From England SCOTSMAN, EDINBURGH. MR. JOHNNY HUDGENS is as doubt a character as one could hope to be. There is such humor in every gesture he makes. LONDON DAILY TIMES The appearance of MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS in "Silence" and "MORE SILENCE" were welcome little cases in the wilderness of sound. His singing of an inaudible song and his dance distinguished by clover studies in facial expressions that triumphed over a Christ minstrel make-up. LOXDON SPORTING TIMES. A rapturous welcome was given the "UNIQUE MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS," both in his silence and when he was articulate. LONDON SKETCH. MR. JOHINNY HUDGINS is especially good in his turn "IN HUD" though he is most amusing to watch wherever he appears. BIRMINGHAM POST The droll humor of the NEGRO, so well excruced in every line and gesture of Mr. JOHNYX HUDGINS, is likewise familiar in vein, though most original in expressions. YORKSHIRE POST. Of individual performers, MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS as a pan- tender, a kind of his life of the evening. Though he never said a word during any of his turns, he is a completely amorous artist, with a humor, all his own. LONDON LADY. There is a comedian, MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS, who never says a word, but is entirely cloquent with a pair of feet and legs the suppleness of which is surely unprecedented. DAILY NEWS MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS, the eccentric comedian and dancer of the "Bluebirds Revue," possesses all the genius of his race. MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS as a silent singer and coquent dancer provided two of the few truly original numbers of the show. ABERDEEN PRESS AND JOURNAL One of the most amusing features of this show is the frequent interventions of MIR. JOHNNY BOO, a good-looking mobile dancing and expressions keep the audience in rours of laughter. NESICAL STANDARD: Then there is JOHNNY HUDGINS, whose specialty dancing, along the eccentric lines (although in no sense in imitation) of HAL SHERMAN, is a revelation of what can be done with human legs and feet, while his SILVER platinum shoes by the cornet cannot be described, but must be seen to be believed. It is the funniest new stunt seen in years. DAILY TRUTH MR. JOHNNY HUDGINS swims or dances (it is hard to say which) on seas of treacles, and the pervading good humor is only equalled by the excitement. SPORTING AND DRAMATIC NEWS. JOHNNY HUDGINS, with a silence that spoke louder than words, gave variety to an amazing good show. Newspaper Clippings from Paris, France * The blackface comedian, JOHN-Y HUDGINS, also received thunderstorms as aplause in a song of his own composition. He plays about on the stage with originality and dances in a novel way. PARIS FABIN. JOHNNY HUDGINS, who is one of the funniest comedians we've ever seen, only appears one time, much to our regret. His success is marvelous. He can show you how the art of sliding on the stage is. It is true that real art consists in having so much natural genius that you don't have to insert it on to it to show it. PARIS STANDARD. A COMEDIAN, JOHNNY HUDGINS, has scored one of the biggest hits in Blackbirds Revue, in PARIS. PARIS DAILY MAIL JOHNNY HUDGINS is an excellent, versatile, blackface comedian, and the best ever seen in PARIS. LES SPECTABLES.

Clef Club Ready for Reception Harmony. Kings Still Going Big European Papers Continue to Speak Well of Popular Quartette Success has been the reward of the efforts of the Four Harmony Kings to please Europeans and they continue to win favor wherever they appear. Recently they left London to fill engagements in Germany and exchanges at hand, prove that the boys are a welcome unit to that band of popular colored entertainers from this side of the water. The following comments we took from papers well known all over Europe: The Four Harmony Kings, admittedly the best quartette of their specialty we have seen over here for some time, made a great hit "When tires fail to stand the grind, When blowouts get you sore, Just put two Generals on behind— You'll get them at our store."

CARDUI A Beneficial Tonic 'HARMONY KINGS' MAKING GOOD IN EUROPE Fine Pictures Offered Patrons of Local Houses last week at the Alhambam with a programme of new numbers, including Coleridge Taylor's "Viking" and the old comedy harmony "On the Verandah," together with their clever yodelling. They have redressed the show and now appear in the latest fashion color suits. They have been specially engaged to feature the Camberwell Empire this week, and go to the Continent next month.—From the Mirror. Negro melodies are always a delight to listen to, but when sung as they are by the Four Harmony Kings, a colored quartette famous on the American concert platform, their charm is irresistible. With memories of an earlier visit, still fresh in the public mind, these fine dusky singers head an attractive variety programme at the Arygle Theatre this week, and those who have yet to make their acquaintance should do so without delay. Each is a finished singer in himself, but when they sing together, the effect is a rich and agreeable blend of vocalism, full of subtle shades and contrasts. Their quaint plantation songs are very appealing, and when they switch over to syncopation, one finds it difficult to refrain from joining in.—From Liverpool Daily. With three outstanding turns in the Four Harmony Kings, Beezyeresford, and the Five Olympians, he variety bill as the Argyle threew has a strong attractive flavor. The Four Harmony Kings are better than they were on the previous occasion, and that is saying a lot. Many of their old successful numbers remain in their repertoire, notably that curious but clever harmonized semiodyelling and "Poor Black Joe," but they have several new ones, and these compete with the old ones for favor. As a matter of fact, the sincerest recommendation of the turn of these dusky vocalists is to state, without going into details, that they provide a real vocal treat.—Daily Advertiser. Clefties to Help Charities Annual Easter Monday Night Affair of Popular Club Looms Big Departing from their usual custom, the well known Cleties have voted to donate a part of their profits obtained from their annual Easter Monday night reception to charity and two organizations will benefit thereby. They are the Columbus Hill Day Nursery of 262 West 63rd street and the National Health Circle for Colored People of 370 Seventh avenue. The former institution does excellent work in caring for the children of the Columbus Hill section of the city while their mothers are at work and the latter does much good in disseminating health information to the rural districts of the South. Thus those who patronize the Cief Club affair on Easter Monday night at Manhattan Casino will not only enjoy a rare evening's pleasure but will also be doing their hit for a worthy cause. A feature of this year's reception will be a Black Bottom contest in which a cup donated to the club by George White of "George White's Scandals" will be personally presented to the winner of the contest by Mr. White and Tom Patricola, leading comedian of the Scandals, both of whom will positively be present and judge the contest. Entries for the contest will be received free up until April 14 at the club house. 134 West Fifty-third street. Two orchestras, the Melodians, conducted by Bob Freeman, and the Clet Club orchestra, conducted by Sam Patterson, will supply continuous dancing. Tom Fletcher, one of the few charter members of the club, is chairman of the arrangement committee this year. Lenten Musicale at Elks' Auditorium Friday Night Splendid interest is shown in the approaching Lenten musicale to be given at Imperial Auditorium, 160 West 129th street, Friday evening, March 21, at 8:45 o'clock, by the number of patrons and patronesses who have subscribed.

FOURTEEN Best Sport in Greater New Best Sport Pages in Greater New York CHAMPS TOO GOOD FOR BUCS Seashore Players Lost by Superior Playing of Crack Renaissance Five Sunday Newburgh Coming Saunders Turned in High Score for Douglas Men Against Atlantic City's Best Away from the old home court the famous Buccaneers of Atlantic City were lost when confronted with that Renaissance crew here last Sunday night in the feature offering at the Renaissance Casino, and went down to defeat by the score of 57-20. The first half of the contest found Renaissance so far in front it was only a matter of making the motions in the second half to continue the rout of the seashore players. That first spasm ended with the score 26-10 in favor of Renaissance, with the New Yorkers certain of victory even at that stage of the contest. Saunders was the high gun of the night,吧 assisted by Jenkins, Slocum, Ricks and Fiall, the lanky center accounting for six clean shots, while his team mates piled up the other marks that sewed up the game for the home team. In the preliminary contest the St. Mark's boys defeated Mother Zion by the score of 35-9, which is quite a tally, if anybody should ask you. The coming Sunday night will again find the Renaissance facing the kind of opposition that furnishes thrills to a gathering which turns out more than a thousand strong, despite bad weather. This time it is the strong Newburgh, X. Y. team of the New York State League and a combination of ball tossers that will dispute Renaissance at every angle of the game. The preliminary contest to this big feature will bring together the crack Majestics against the Atas Club of Long Branch, N. J., the latter coming to Harlem accompanied by a host of rooters.

Leonard Warner, Who Left Here to Second Al Brown, Returned Saturday JAPAN Nothing but a Youngster, but He Is Up in the Game—Brings Back Glowing Account of Success of Popular Bantam—Al Made Offer of 600,000 Francs for Three Fights in Australia While Al Brown has kept readers of the Amsterdam News advised of what he is doing in Europe by cable every time he fights, ably assisted by Sparrow Robertson of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, direct word came to this paper from Brown when young Leonard Warner arrived on the ocean liner La Savoie on Saturday morning from Paris. Warner, although but seventeen years of age, was taken to Europe by Al to assist the little bantam by doing secretarial work and helping to second Brown in all his fights. The youngster is unusually bright and is the son of Reginald Warner, chief motion picture operator at the Renaissance Theatre on Seventh avenue. Charged with bringing direct in us that Brown, after his victory formation of the activities of his over Kid Socks, which appeared ex-mentor, Al. Young Warner tells exclusively in this paper last week. Leonard, Having to Return to School, Left His Buddy, Al Brown, Doing Nicely in Europe. accepted an offer to go to Australia to engage in three fights. The crack little fighter has been made an offer of six hundred thousand francs to engage in these contests, end the money has already been placed in the bank subject to withdrawal by Brown. Not since the days when Georges Carpentier was the idol of the Parisians has a fighter been so warmly received as Al Brown. Little Warner tells us, and the popularity of the colored fighter has been of such crowds surround Al wherever he appears on the streets of Paris. Aside from his ring successes Brown has also scored a social success, being taken care of by some of the best people in France. This, naturally, is no surprise to the many friends of the fighter on this side of the water, for his gentlemanly qualities always made him welcome in the best circles in the United States. Present plans of Brown call for a further stay abroad of two months, and at the conclusion of his engagements in Australia he will start his return journey by easy stages, heading for the United States unless he decides to accept return dates in Paris. New York will receive Al Brown with open arms when he returns as his arrival here will be in the nature of a triumphal return, having made good in every fight in which he has engaged in Europe. The Amsterdam News will carry exclusively accounts of his battles in Australia where he is due to arrive some time in April.

The game and dance were staged under the auspices of the Princess Ann Morgan College Club. How near the gentlemen of the latter organization came to upsetting the basketball dope for the entire season of 1926-27 they will never know, but they can at least feel proud that they came nearer to stumping the famous Renaissance Five than was thought possible by any individual at the Casino that night or those readers faithfully following the trend of events in sports via the columns of this paper. We here held lightly the idea of "Lanky" Jones and his associates making the attempt to do that which some of the strongest white teams in the country failed to do, hence we did not take as seriously as we could have the coming of the collègants to do battle to the team which, until last Friday night, we thought could take the scalp of any college fire without having to extend itself. * Kind of lucky for Renaissance Morgan's star guard was out of the game on account of sickness. Therein we were mistaken, for Mr. Jones led one of the most brilliant attacks that it ever fell to the lot of the Renaissance to overcome, this same Mr. Jones being personally responsible for breaking up the famous Renaissance combination and breaking through well-planned defenses for points which had a great deal to do with keeping the champions from making any kind of a runaway victory of the contest. The college boys tied the score in the first half by a 12-12 score, hence their followers had good reason to believe they stood a chance, and acted accordingly. Referee Hulswould come in for a great deal of sitting at the hands of the Morgan followers as they harbored a taste of victory, and to them it seemed as if "Dutch" stood between them and the glory. Be that as it may, the second half found both sides battling with more desperation on the part of Renaissance, as they were playing with their backs to the wall; and, be it said to the eternal glory of the Baltimoreans that they uncovered enough basketball not only to hold their own, but to leave the court with a score which read 26-22 favor of Renaissance. To Manager Drew of Morgan New York extends a vote of confidence in his ability to so guide the destinies of his charges they could come to New York and put up such a wonderful game. They must come again next season. "The Blond Saint" Coming to the Renaissance "The Blonde Saint." from the popular novel.

Dear Sir: Just a few lines to let you know that the Lincoln Giants will start practicing March 23 at their home grounds. Catholic Proctectory. Quite a few changes have taken place since last season which should add some playing strength to the club. Rojo, a great catcher, comes here from the Baltimore Black Socks, Craig and Gillmore, both youngsters, will be back again to try to make good as pitchers. If they come through as I expect they will, I will have nothing to worry about along that line, as there will be Gisentaner and Chambers to be depended on for a better season than either one of them had last year. We play the Bronx Giants March the 27th, which will be the first game of the season. I have been here since January and I feel as if I have been at a training camp all winter instead of the seashore. I feel like playing a game to-day. Best regards to the staff and I will see you early next week. Yours very truly. JOHN H. LLOYD.

Dougherty OS'CHARLESTON STILL IN FOLD OS'CHARLESTON STILL IN FOLD Eastern Colored League Clubs Getting Ready for Opening April 30 While the proposed plan to use Virginia League parks at Richmond and Norfolk, and the fact that Colonel Strothers' cohorts co-operate with the N. Y-Penna, league team for the use of Island Park, Harrisburg, has slowed up the work of mapping out the schedule for the first half, the Commissioners of Ike Nutter's loop are speeding up the routine of Spring business and pointing to April 20th as opening day for the league season. With the exception of Harrisburg and the Brooklyn Royal Giants, virtually the same field marshals are in line and will prime their charges for the half way dash of the split schedule. Ben Taylor of Boldimore, John Henry Lloyd of Lincoln Giants, Pelayo Chacon of the Cuban Stars, Frank Warfield of Hilldale and Dick Landy of the Bacharachs are all slated to begin where they left off for their respective clubs. Dick Redding, the veteran hurler of the Royal Giants, will supplant Bill Wagner as director in chief, and John Beckwith, the rulping one from Chicago, comes to his own as leader of Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Giants. Charleston With Harrisburg. The case of Beckwith wearing the emine at the Pennsylvania Capital has much significance due to the fact that Oscar Charleston, the erstwhile leader of Harrisburg, did verbally and in printer's ink belt the ranks of the Giants and the Eastern Circuit during the bleak months of Winter and was reported to have done some fancy autographing for one Cumberland Posey who hands out meal checks to the Homestead Grays. However, evidently all did not go well and Audacious Oscar destroyed the Pittsburgh parchment and is now at Colonel Strothers' stronghold awaiting the call of play. But while the erring one has returned and is in good grace from a league standpoint, the boss of Harrisburg refused to await the flip of the coin and elevated Johnnie Beckwith to the managerial post. Now even though Oscar has returned it looks as the greyhound of the garden will play second fiddle to Beckwith. Distalning the fact that earthquakes have been rocking Japan and neighboring China is in the throes of a revolution. Bizz Mackey, the portly, versatile and affable Texan, who did the bulk of the receiving for the Hildale Club, is authentically reported to be numbered among Lennie Goodwin's globe trotters who left the golden slope of the Pacific headed for the Orient, the land of rice and bamboo. Rapp Dixon, the Steelton, Pa., youth who covers the right garden for Colonel Strothers at Harrisburg, is another Eastern Leagier included among the tourists bound for Yokohama. Just how long the Lotus land will hold a lure for the corn fed boys from the "States" is a problem, but undoubtedly they will be numbered as A.W. O. L. when the roll is called for the league season. Then that five year penalty from organized ball will give the wayward once time to tour Silberstein and Madagascar. land of hope to which Floyd Snelson, now on the Chicago defender, was once headed. ```markdown ``` Musicians Get Started With Annual Tournament It is regretted that owing to so many of the musicians nominated for the closing billiard classic among musicians being out of town on tour and special engagements, it was not possible to play in classes as proposed, so the tournament has returned etoforeto a handicap round robin, with the four classes giving handicap. One of the new nominees, John Brunson, Class B, won his first two starts, which looks good for an interesting time. Luke Smith, another new nominee, Class A, lost his first start but won his second.

Labriolla was a bit stronger, and Curran succumbed after 2 minutes and 35 seconds of scrapping. This was a special bout in the 118-pound class.

J. boast the greatest basketball team this season that has ever been turned out in a high school in this section is evident from the remarkable court work turned in by the youngsters under the able guidance of Coach Lester G. Granger. The New Jersey "Wildcats" went to the mark in twenty-one important contests and left with eighton victories, losing what will go down as a rough and tumble contest to the Briscoe A. C. of Philadelphia and drawing with the Community A. C. of Washington and Wissachickon of Germantown. In a return battle with Wissachickon Bordentown simply ran wild and whipped the Germantown players by the great score of 22-5. Playing the varsity line-up of Lincoln University Bordentown came through with flying colors. In a talk with Coach Granger recently, he said the outstanding reason for the success of the team has been on account of the size of some of his players and the wonderful condition. And Granger must know what he is talking about where condition is concerned, for the team employs the orthodox five-man defense and a fast outman attack, the policy being to run the other team until they are dog tired, then stepping in to add the finishing touch. Looking over the work of Granger as a whole it is good to note that the athletic teams at Bordentown furnish a splendid example of the value of keeping in condition. They invariably beat anything in their class in football, basketball and track, and give those out of their class a hard run at all times. It is the opinion of Coach Granger that with men always in condition his work is far from being in the class that we newspapermen are inclined to call out of the ordinary. Granger has been basketball coach at Bordentown for the past five years, and those conversant with his athletic career are not at all surprised at the splendid work has accomplished since going Bordentown. The Amsterdam news has always found it a pleasure to keep the work of the school under Principal W. R. Valentine to the force and takes particular pride at this time in being able to present the basketball team which being up an enviable record in another part of today's paper.

Y.M.D. FIVE COP TWO VICTORIES Acme and St. Jude's Fall Before Bevy of Y. M. D. Field Goals The Y. M. D. basketball team had a successful week in that two of their most hated rivals were vanquished. On Thursday the "Y" team journeyed the intervening three blocks to the Abyssinla Church and defeated Acme 21-19 in a game that was fast and furious. Acme led at the first half 9-3. Y. M. D. came back in the final half with a rush that could not be denied. Saturday night the St. Jude team provided the opposition for the "Y" team. These teams had previously played a tie game, and a large gathering was out to see them, so evenly matched, settle their score. The first half was comparatively tame. Both teams collected fourteen points during this half. In the final half came the thrills. One a long shot by "Buddy" Walker, St. Jude's "lanky" jumping ace. Two, the remarkable dribbling and basket shooting done by Reese and Adams. The visitors were no match for this combination and Y. M. D. slipped away to a 30-25 victory. Adams and Walker tied NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1927 for scoring honors with eleven points. They were followed closely by Waldorf with eight. Capt. Riley and "Edd" Marshall played a very good defensive game for the winners. Last Monday night St. Cyprian's "Speedboys" met and defeated the fast St. Jude team by the scores of 56-22. On the lower West Side the annual game between these two teams is considered a classic. A friendly rivalry exists between St. Jude and St. Cyprian, due to the fact that the ministers of the two churches are relatives. The St. Jude team has won many games this season, but in meeting the "Speedboys" they met their masters. The score in the first half was 22-6, favoring the Speedboys, and in the second half St. Cyprian shot baskets from all angles of the court, overwhelming St. Jude. The Concord Baptist Sunday School Basketball Team, playing in the Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A. Sunday School League, finished the season with a clean slate. This is the second year of the League. Concord's Senior Team will be presented with a beautiful silver token "The A. Q. Martin Trophy," donated by Mr. A. Q. Martin. In the Junior League, Siloam, St. Barnabas, Concord and Nazarene are putting up a hard struggle for first place. Concord's victory over St. Barnabas, Tuesday, March 15, places them second to Siloam, the leading team. N. Y. BRAVES STEP OUT in a practice game at Jasper Oval on Sunday the rejuvenated New York Braves took the Roamer Club into camp by the convincing score of 16-2. With the exception of a few players, the team seems to be in great shape for so early in the season. Opposing pitchers are going to far, badly this season, for the Braves pack a wicked wallop in their sticks. The features of the game were the effective pitching of Nichomedes and Small and a home-run drive by "Babe" Daniels, his first this season.

In a hurricane 126-pound final, Harry Foy of the Ludson Guild got the nod over Joe Patterson of the Astoria Caseys. Anderson, a tall, broad shouldered colored lad, won his preliminary contest in a unique manner. Anderson met Jack Doward of the Brooklyn Union Gas Co. and after a minute of fancy milling in the opening round, missed badly on a right swing. Doward took quick advantage of the lapse and rushed Anderson into a corner and subjected the latter to a pummelling. Anderson, in attempting to battle back, let fly a right swing which caught. Doward flush on the jaw, dropping the Gas Co. boxer for a nine count. Doward arose to continue, but reeled helplessly around until assisted to his corner. The summary: # RELIMINARTIES 126-Pound Class, Hoyt Jackson Guild, knocked out Johnny Buck, Cooper A. C., second round; time, 2:40.

Aud. 4134 OLD AND NEW AT PIONEER Joe Walcott to Second Bruce Flowers and Dundee Will Second Vaccarelli Bruce Flowers, latest colored lightweight sensation, will endeavor to add to his laurels when he clashes with Tony Vaccarelli of Harlem in the feature ten-round bout at the Pioneer A. C. Tuesday, March 22. Flowers has been mowing down all opposition in his dynamic march towards titular recognition, and if he can beat the rough, tough. Vaccarelli tonight he will move a step nearer the crown. Much interest is centered on this tistic combat and a great crowd is expected to be on hand to watch the fireworks. Joe Walcott, that great ring gladiator of another day, will be chief second in Flowers' corner, while Johnny Dundee, a little ancient, but still a fighting gamecock, will act in the same capacity for Tony Vaccarelli. It will be interesting to note how the old time methods will take effect against the present day kind of handling, as Walcott will be buzzing old time tricks into Flowers' ear, while Dundee will whisper some of more modern renown in Vaccarelli's listener. However the battle terminates, it should be a corking affair from the first round on. Both lads have trained mighty hard for the contest and report themselves in excellent condition. Flowers has several lucrative matches in the offing, while Vacarelli is eager to secure some wide recognition, hence a win either way will mean much to both lads, so they will be striving mightily throughout the tray. TUXEDO TIGERS ON RAMPAGE TUXEDO TIGERS ON RAMPAGE New Jersey Team Wins Wins Four Games in Five Days EAST ORANGE, N. J.—The Tuxedo Tigers, led by the well-known J. Richard Lee, won four straight games in five days, with a total of 196 points, against their opponents' 80. Among the most widely known victims were the Royal Buccaneers of Newark, who succumbed to a 34-17 defeat last Monday night at the East Orange High School court. Lee's big striped kittens wound up the week by taking the Ravens of Englewood on their own court to the tune of 45 to 18. The mid-week gates were easily won from Eurk's Whirlwinds, 62-25, and the Mid-Nite Aces, 55-20, which makes up a total of 196 points against 80. Up until two weeks ago the Tuxedo boys had made a record of winning twelve consecutive games, but their hopes of finishing the season with a clean slate since losing to the Atlas of Long Branch were shattered by a defeat at the hands of the Newark Student Council. In the last two minutes of play the Newarkers dropped in a double-decker, which broke a tie at 20-all to win by a score of 22-20. In absence of H. Raymond at center and Bell the Tigers couldn't seem to get together and their ranged playing cost them the name. It looks, from their performance of the past week, that they are on another rampage. Monday night, March 14, they will meet the Elites of Orange in the third game of a five-game series. This and other games of the Tuxedo Club will be played at the East Orange High School's spacious court.

JEFFERSONSTAR GIVEN PRAISE Charlie Rabinowitz Writes of Arthur Hart in High School Athletics "Now that the scholastic court season is completed, the outstanding performers in the city should be given some credit." writes Charlie Rabinowitz of Thomas Jefferson High School. "I am at liberty to express my opinion since I have seen and played against most of the teams. Before I select my team, I wish to praise Arthur Hart, the colored flash. Hart was a streak of lightning in the early season practise. In the opening game against Haaren he tossed in seven baskets in less than half a period—and then twisted his ankle. He played throughout the season with a bandaged leg and at the conclusion underwent two operations. The feature of the season was the remarkable number of splendid lists. He has not an equal for remaining the ball from the opponents' backfield, feeding his teammates, or checking high scorers. Capt. George Seewagon of Newtown, whom I should select as his running mate on an all-city team, is a clever player who takes advantage of his height. He is noted for his penalty shooting. Kinsbruner is the equal to any, but he was kept in cover and couldn't stand out. The tap-off position is a toss-up between Gloetzer of Jefferson and Greenberg of Monroe, with Gute crowding them with the honors. Gloetzer was more experienced than Greenberg, but the latter stood out because his team was weaker. These towering pivots could supply the fans with a wonderful treat if opposing one another. As for the forwards: Hammill of Newtown was a heavy scorer who doubled-up the few fouls his team missed.

Fortunately, too, because the young men entered in the field events may have to supply the points that will keep off the formidable running teams of foreign countries. With the exception of three events, the field program looks to be in the bag for the American team. The three events may be classified: Hop, step and jump—questionable. Javelin-throw—doubtful. Hammer throw—very doubtful. America will be almost invincible in the high jump, with Osborne, 1924 champion: Haggard, a 6 ft. 7¼ in; man: Burg, 6 ft. 6¼ in; Majors, 6 ft. 5½ in; King, 6 ft. 5½ in, and two Texas youngsters, Phillips and Stewart, who did 6 ft. 2½ in as schoolboys. The best Europe has are Lewden, France; Nilson, Sweden, and Helgosen, Norway, and they are no better than 6 ft. 2 or 3 in. Hubbard, world record holder, ought to win the broad jump, if he does not overdue himself in trying for the century and the hop-step. Gourdin, former world record holder: Reynolds, Chere and Anson are 23 feet and better; but Europe has consistent 24-ft. jumpers in Doberman, Germany; Halberg and Naess, Sweden: Alstad, Norway, and Oda, Japan, Anson of Ohio State may turn out to be the savior. The Americans look sure of two or three places. WOLVERINES GOING NICELY The Long Island Wolverines, an athletic and social club, which was formed in 1925, seems to have taken on new life and recently her athletes have been to the fore.

FATALLY HURT IN PHILLY BOUT Charley Hill, of Wilmington, Died After Knockout Punch by Jack Gross The sensational end to one of the star bouts in the Olympic Athletic Club in Philadelphia last Thursday night came in the fourth round, when Charley Hill was knocked out in the fourth round by Jack Gross of Salem, N. J., and, after failing to respond to restorative administered by seconds, was rushed to a hospital, where Hill died without regaining consciousness. It is said that Hill, who was known as "Kid," died from concussion of the brain as his head hit the floor after he had received the full force of a terrific right to the chin. Hill hailed from Wilmington, Delaware, where he was well known and where friends received the report of his death with great surprise, as the boxer had always been able to take good care of himself and gave promise of rounding out into one of the best fighters of his weight. He fought in the heavy division. - The owners of the club and all the officials were placed under arrest. When arraigned in court on the following day they were absolved of any responsibility in the death of Hill.

The following correspondence tells the rest of the story The Tropics in New York Mr. James Weldon Johnson. Executive Secretary, N. A. C. P. My dear Mr. Johnson: I was surprised to find that your organization had sent out a release stating that I advocated segregation. Such a distortion is beneath the level of the intelligence and integrity which I have been wont to ascribe to the personnel of your staff. In my article in Current History, I endeavored to set forth an analysis of the segregation movements, the attempts which have been made to check it and its probable future operation. I will thank you if you will point out any error of fact or illogicality of inference. But your misleading release is unworthy of your organization, which is endowed to fight the battles in the case by honorable warfare. Yours truly. (Signed) KELLY MILLER "The West Indian and Native Belong to Same Race" IT has been argued, recently, that the Harlem of today is less progressive than Chicago, and that the failure of Harlem to equal Chicago in progress in terms of racial advancement could be explained by the fact that the City of Chicago has not so many so-called foreigners as has Harlem. In order not to set up too many unprovable questions, it shall be admitted, in the first place, that Harlem has more foreigners in its midst than has the City of Chicago. But an examination of the social and economic results of the presence of the black foreigner — West Indians, South Americans, Africans, etc. — in Harlem should be made, in order to determine whether the conclusion from the asserted proposition is true. Let us first state the implications which grew out of the proposition in strict sociological argument, and then we shall be ready to examine the facts. There are two schools of sociological advocates: The first claims that, in a homogeneous population, the advancement of the group is more facile, because of the identity of social and other qualities common to the group which make for group cohesion; and, consequently, for匀ity of group objectives. The second school argues that, in a heterogeneous population, the presence of individuals holding contrary social and other opinions from the main body of the group makes for diversity of opinions and prevents stagnation and regimentation by forcing struggle for ideas, and thereby vitalizing the mentality of the group collectively. In order to determine whether there exists homogeneity or heterogeneity in the Harlem group, a summary should be made of those social, religious and ethnic qualities which the native and the foreigner have in common. The West Indian and the native American belong to the same race. They have inherited the same language from a common source; they embrace identical religion and denominations; their racial history is common to both—before and after the dispersion from Africa; the cultural background of the West Indian and of the native American is identical—they wear the same kinds of clothing. Have the same appreciation of objective things, like art, music, beauty, sanitation, housekeeping. COMMON SENSE AND SEGREGATION A. E.

During this period a few came who had received sufficient education to make them useful to the "free persons of color," whose existence at that time in the United States was strengthened by the presence of these instructed strangers—mark, the term "strangers" is employed for the reason that then neither the West indian nor the American Negro possessed a national status. Prior to the Civil War those West Indians of a high class, culturally and educationally, arrived in this country and took up the cudgels to secure for their fellowmen in this Union rights which they had previously gained in the West Indies. Because of the urgency of the times there there was not the slightest acrimony engendered by the presence of those strangers. There was no objective power of any sort to contend for. After the Civil War, however, the teacher and the sailor classes arrived. These were readily accepted by the natives without question. So true was this that the West Indian, up to the time of the Spanish-American War, was to a certain extent considered a sort of superior person by the native. The West Indian fitted himself that this compliment to his sagacity was meritorious; he considered that, because he had come from a country where he had received the rudiments of a public-school education, that he would be in the dominant position over the natives always—not realizing that, with the march of time, the American Negro would reach the point of excellence which the West Indian enjoyed and should surpass him, because of the qualitative difference between an elementary and a college education. This was inevitable; this happened. Soon after 1900 all group of West Indian peasants began to arrive in the United States and, being maritime in character—in their psychology—remained, for the most part, in the City of New York. In order to continue to enjoy the pre-eminence which had been established by earlier immigrants, they felt called upon to make all sorts of claims to superiority. They told the kind natives that they had come from homes filled with servants and attendants; they lived about their education; they acted like pigs in the parlor; they abused the tolerant natives; wherever they got hold of positions such as elevator jobs, etc., they would crowd out the natives and make themselves obnoxious in all manner and fashions. They boasted of being British subjects and, consequently, immune to certain abusive practices to which all Negroes were exposed; they set up all sorts of social organizations to the exclusion of the natives and made themselves as objectionable as a stringent case of measles. Because of the condition which was created by this class of West Indian, the native, in his growing group pride, sought some measures of prick- March 8. 1927 Dr. Kelly Miller, Howard University, Washington, D. C. My dear Dr. Miller: I have your letter of the 5th in which you say that this Association sent out a release stating that you advocated segregation, and you characterize the release as a "seemingly willful distortion" and "beneath the level of intelligence and integrity" which you have been wont to ascribe to the staff of this organization. The release sent out by the Association stated that your article in the March number of Current History was a plea "for segregation by tacti understanding between white and colored groups." We feel that that statement, is warranted by your own opinion expressed in your article and quoted in the release, namely, "A tacit understanding, though perhaps not a formal agreement, sports, diversions, etc., in the main; they are subjected to the same rigors of race prejudice—forced to reside within the same areas; they must live and have their beings in the same or identical circumstances. On the other hand, the West Indian is a different national. He comes from countries where he is in the majority, thereby possessing different psychological and spiritual qualities. Be- Edgar M. Grey ing a minority in Harlem, he likes the boy walking through the graveyard, must make noise in order to keep his courage up. Coming from a warm climate; he is talkative, noisy, to a degree loud, and in a measure boisterous. Unlike the American resident, he is not politically minded; coming from countries where the unit of money is small, he is penurious; coming from a majority world, he is contentious and will demand his rights; unlike the native, he does not believe that the white man possesses all qualities of excellence, and is suspicious of the white man generally. He is gregarious—huddles 'together and resents the encroachments of strangers. Again, unlike the natives, he is vindictive and resentful. Because of the English system of keeping women in the background, his women are, to a certain extent, unprogressive; so the West Indian and the other foreigners generally continue to resent the obtrusion of women in public activities. Then, too, the foreigner, having come from places where black men hold positions of respect and prominence, is more prepared to follow black leadership than is the native American. It would appear from the summary of differences and similarities between the native and foreign elements in Harlem that there are more points of harmony and likeness common to the two than there are disharmony and unlikeness. This being the case, let us examine the history of the contacts between the two peoples and perhaps discover some reasons for the antagonism which might arise between them. In the old days, before freedom, those West Indians who came to the United States came either as slaves or as servants. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1927 By KELLY MILLER March 14, 1927. Johnson: Sth is in hand. confirms my origi- nature of your studied pur- vious with advocacy of the res- ult predicted, then with due re- spect to your fine Literary acu- men. I must advise that you se- curate a revised dictionary. It seems to me that the races in our large cities will gravitate towards separate residential areas, that these areas will acquire tacitly understood and recognized boundaries, and that the colored denizens will become better satisfied with increased accommodations and facilities. I do not advocate this eventually nor plead for it; but amply foresee it. What do you foresee? I am willing to place my forecast with any which you may care to venture as to the outcome of the segregation movement. Do you hope to be able to abolish segregation within any future time with which the present generation cares to bother itself? When do you expect to abolish or seriously check it in Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Chicago, or in your beloved Harlem? I concede you the counsel of finality. You can doubtless speak with inspired assurance as to what is going to take place ten thousand years from now. But our chief present concern is with what is going to happen to the generations which must live and move and have their experiences in the meantime. Let me now challenge you to make a concrete test of my proposition. Let the colored members of your staff take up residence in any high grade black block in New York City. The adjacent properties would shortly become vacant, and a little later the whole block would be black. The process would proceed with equal swiftness and with equal certainty with or without the law. The Negro's physical presence causes his segregation and no amount of fist shaking will alter this obvious fact. All Other Groups Have Representatives in Court ALTHOUGH there are 300,000 Negroes living within Greater New York limits, owning churches totaling more than $10,000,000 in money value, and possessing property and bank deposits estimated at more than $50,000,000, there is not in the "black city" for such of their past achievements as the "silent protest parade" and the fight against the "Birth of a Nation." Then came Marcus Garvey, and with him the fires of a new conflagration of intra-racial conflict in Harlem. The Garvey of 1917, without the opportunity to study the past records of the native leaders, proceeded to abuse and to berate them. The man became so bombastic and his followers so obnoxious that the natives, in sheer self-defense, sought, after attempts at compromise and conciliation, to fight him. The West Indian at once interpreted this behavior as being opposition to Garvey because of his birthplace; the Garvey board of strategy had the notion that the best way to demonstrate the power of the organization was to take issue with the native Americans through the N. A. A. C. P. As a result, the constructive leadership of the West Indian Negro in Harlem became lost in the inter-organization struggle, and the main questions were for the time being obscured by the sound and din of propaganda cannons. As things stand today between the native and foreign-born elements in the Harlem population, a return to the pre-Garvey relationship appears most likely. For, while there are still individuals on both sides who are dying hard and who insist upon keeping up the hate, the "best minds" on both sides of the fence are working again in heavy harness. The reasons for the difference between Chicago and New York in advancement and progress must be sought for in other causes; the evidence at hand would indicate that the West Indian is, on the contrary, an element for good in the midst of the natives in Harlem—as a matter of fact, the West Indian appears in Harlem and its variated life to be the necessary complement to the native American, in his strides forward to advancement in the "black city." March 14. 1927. March 14, 1927 My Dear Dr. Johnson: Yours of the 8th is in hand, which merely confirms my original belief that your studied purpose was to slogmatize me before the public as advocating the invidious scheme of segregation which you in your goodness and wisdom are pledged to destroy as the sum of racial iniquity. I once had occasion to defend you from the imputation of unworthy motive on the occasion of the late unpleasantness between you and Editor Vann. I am very anxious to persist in hoping that my confidence was well placed. I rather enjoyed Mr. Seligman's rejoinder in Current History. I imagine that he was given the assignment by your organization as a professional necessity. He certainly filled up the space allotted him without touching the integrity of my treatment. Perhaps his most serious variance is where he insists that the boundaries of Harlem are not knife-cut, but jagged. It ought not be necessary for me to say that I have persistently fought segregation with voice and pen ever since it became a legal issue. I headed a citizens' movement in the District of Columbia to raise funds to push the Curtis case to and through the Supreme Court at a time when it did not seem prudent for the local N. A. A. C. P. to go to the front. This I did without reward or official pomp. It may be, however, that I missed the one-sided zeal of professional protestantism. If you confuse the expression of opinion as to the outcome of social forces whose trend is "Marcus Garvey Not Opposed Because of His Race". ing the bubble of the precocious foreigner. As a consequence the term "monkey chaser" came into being. The natives press took up the movement, and, wherever a chance presented itself to de- ride this imperious "British sub- ject" no time was wasted in "slamming the monkey chaser." About 1910 the Harlem of today became a permanent fact, the foreigner who had come from places like the Isthmus of Panama and Cuba, who had not known of the antecedent history which his "countrymen" had established tried to fight the tide of hate which was consequently upon him. But the native would not compromise. He would not let up! He excluded the "monk" as the West Indian was called, from his home, his lodges, his jobs—and, finally, from his sympathy The West Indian, on the other hand, opened shops, studied the professions' and the trades, shouted against lynching and its kindred evils, packed the churches and halls where the disadvantages of the natives were being discussed, contributed his cash to the propaganda pools, married American women—or worse—took them from the natives by blinding higher for their affections. In short, he did everything that he could to redeem himself in the eyes of the native. Yet the native would have none of him, and when he tried to point to the record which he had lately established through constructive acts of group advancement, the native yelled at him louder: "Why don't you become an American citizen?" By this time a group of what was then called radicals began to preach doctrines from the street corners, platforms and pulpits, intended to shame the two groups into forgiving each other. This effort was successful to the extent that, between the years 1915 and 1917 both groups were on a fair way of realizing their common interest. They had very nearly lost their antagonisms; they were fighting in harmony for, the common rights of Harlem, civic and political. The Equity Congress and the United Civic League—those great organizations which did so much for the Harlem Negro before and during the World War—sported an equal number of West Indians and Americans within their precincts. The so-called radical groups in Harlem found West Indians and natives fighting in heavy harness; the fraternal organizations and the churches, in so far as they fought for the uplift of Harlem, saw natives and foreigners standing side by side on the line of upbuilding Harlem. The N. A. A. C. P. was indebted to certain West Indians for the enthusiasm that was first generated Welfare Worker Urgently Needed Bu CHARLES T. MAGILL If you do not see that the colored people are already essentially satisfied with segregation, then your powers of observation must be very poor. I tried my best here in Washington to raise funds to combat the legal fixity of segregation at a time when it was not deemed advisable for the N. A. A. C. P. to make the local appeal, after six weeks of strenuous effort, reaching practically every church and prominent individual. I was barely able to raise two hundred dollars from a hundred thousand well favored colored people at the very moment of greatest jeopardy. If you think you might have greater success, I invite you down to try it. I wonder how much you have raised in Harlem in this behalf, except through card tournaments and baby shows. You have endorsed "Nigger Heaven" as being an accurate and artistic portrayal of the self-satisfied segregated life of Harlem, in the midst of which you and your colored co-workers live and move with seeming complacency. I have been fighting segregation as long as you have, although I do not fight as one who beats the air blindly, but with a clearly perceived objective, to prevent humiliating legal limits which would pen the Negro into ghettoes of hated historical connotation. But cannot bring my mind to consent to the proposition that the section of the city where Negroes live is necessarily a ghetto. I have not that brand of inferiority complex which requires the presence of the white man to add nobility to any locality. The N. A. A. C. P. has done noble work in combating segregation. The broad-guaged decision of the Supreme Court in 1917 has effectively checked its legal fixity, but has had no diminutive effect. Indeed if the one organized charitable organization for welfare work among colored men and women that is functioning. Down at 105 East Twenty-second street is located the offices of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor; at 71 East 125th street will be found the Harlem office of the Charity Organization Society and at 477 Madison avenue is the headquarters of the Catholic Charities. These three organizations, operated and controlled by white people, are the three agents to whom the few real social workers of Greater New York must go for aid. The A. I. C. P. is the favorite, for while they employ no colored agents, they will give immediate aid and investigate after. The C. O. S. comes next. The Charity Organization Society does employ colored agents, but by the time they have investigated cases, the needy person very often has reached a condition too late for aid. The Catholic Charities will give aid regardless of race or color so long as the worthy one is a member of that faith or one of the family is a Catholic. In the Family Court In New York's Family Court located in E. Fifty-seventh street more than 1,000 cases are handled each year and is where the greatest need is shown for an organized Negro charitable organization, supported by Negro funds and operated by them in the interest of unfortunate colored families. Mr. X is hailed to the court for non-support. He has a wife and three children already in desi tute circumstances. He is given a three months' term on the "island" and then what becomes of his family. They either starve or their condition is relieved by one of the three white agencies mentioned. Help for that family cannot be secured through a single Negro agency. Mary Jones, a colored girl, sentenced for something or other to Welfare Island, is about to be released. She has no money, no friends, nowhere to go. Is there a colored church, or colored organization to receive her and care for her while she is looking for work? Not one. Up in Westchester County there is Greycourt, a penal institution where the majority of white girls are sent when convicted of crime, particularly that of prostitution. There the influence is such that the girl often changes and is reclaimed to society. To good old Blackwell's island goes every Negro girl so convicted. Suppose that John Smith, up before the Family Court for failure to provide for his family is SPECIAL ARTICLES National Association's Secretary Asked if He Hopes to Be Able to Abolish Segregation in Cities Within Near Future Court had decided that 'case against us, we should probably have less extensive segregation than we have today, although it would undoubtedly be more irksome and oppressive. I hope that the N. A. G. C. P. will secure the million dollar segregation fund which it seeks. It will doubtless require some such fund to maintain our legal rights at every turn of the issue. But I warn you not to deceive yourself, and not to try to deceive, the race that any sum of money or any amount of fighting is going to stop segregation, as long as the white man retains prejudice and arrogant attitude. We must invoke the law because there is no supporting public opinion outside of the technical compulsion of the law. The very judges whose sworn duty compel them to resolve the law in our behalf have the same personal attitude as the rest of their race. Segregation and separate schools are the twin offsprings of a common parent, race prejudice. Wherever the Negro contingent constitutes a considerable proportion of the population, it will be assigned to separate schools and to separate residential areas. I do not advocate either, but understand both. We combat separate schools where there is a legal leverage; we do the same thing with segregation, but good judgment should convince us that we can destroy neither, although we may given a chance by a kindly judge to do better, and suppose Smith is jobless and really willing to work. Can the colored probation workers intercede for Smith with some colored organization while the man is making an honest effort to find employment? And is there any agency for the fudging of work for such men? If there is the colored probation workers have not yet found them. Social Work a Misnomer Social work and social workus have taken a prominent place in American life the last decade or two. Likewise, they have attained a degree of prominence in the life of colored people. Yet, they are not functioning as such. "Social Workers" among our people in New York is a misnomer. Linked in the capacity of social workers one commonly thinks of employees of the Urban League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. and we have even seen the employees of the Public Library on West 135th street linked with social workers. All of these organizations are serving a useful purpose but none of them fill the crying need for real social workers, the kind to look into individual cases and apply immediate aid to worthy colored poor; to visit the prisons and institutions ready to aid where it is indicated that aid is needed, and who will visit the courts ready to defend a colored girl who needs defense or who can promise a leniently inclined judge that if mercy is shown the unfortunate one will be cared for and aided. "Framed" Cases From the Fifth District Court, known as the Harlem Court, the Twelfth District Court on Washington Heights and Jefferson Market Court, come the greatest number of cases in which colored girls are involved. The vast majority of these cases are prostitution. Here, say, probation workers, is the greatest need for colored social workers: for from these courts go more "framed" cases than from any other courts in the city, and the vast majority of the cases are those of Negro girls. A social worker, placed and maintained there by some Negro organization to intercede for these unfortunate women, could, ninety times out of 100, save the girl from a workhouse sentence, and maybe from a further life of shame. Nothing is more demoralizing than a prison sentence when one knows they are innocent. A favorite method of "framing" is for a detective who has had some previous experience with a woman to simply place her under arrest under the slight mitigate their harsher features by proper diligence. In the city of Washington our most ardent N. A. A. C. P. advocates are trustees, teachers, officials and dignitaries in separate schools. They extol the good features of these schools and praise them before the world. There is no avowed dissatisfaction beyond the basic fact of division. In order to be consistent, you ought to send out a broadside holding up all such persons to public obliquy as defenders and pleaders for Him-Crow schools. While I am indicting this letter the paper falls under any eye stating that the Supreme Court has decided the Now Orleans segregation case the same way as it did its Louisville prototype ten years ago. It is a splendid legal victory. But you know as well as I do that it is not likely to have any more decisive effect upon segregation in that city than it had in Louisville during the last decade. The N. A. A. C. P. has an important racial function to perform, but censorship falls outside of the line of its mission. You cannot determine what is race orthodoxy or monopolize race patriotism. Whenever you assume the prerogative, of dotting the T's and crossing the I's for people who think as independently and as vigorously as yourself, like Othello, your occupation will soon be gone. Yours truly. KELLY MILLER Become 'Repeaters' When Their Own Group Forgets Them est pretext. To court they go, and, being without friends, are sent back to the "岛land," this time as a "repeater." When the poor unfortunate does that "bit," the same experience is likely to be gone over again and even again. An organization could stop this practice at once, but also, there is no organization. Failure of the Churches Supposedly in the employ of the Federation of Churches, working under the Harlem League, an organization composed of the Negro churches of Harlem, and of which Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, is president, is Mrs. Sarah Martin Lewis, a woman whose work has been mainly to look after the interest of colored girls of Welfare Island. Not so long ago an appeal to this league for funds with which to carry on its work brought the munificent sum of $4. The effect of Mrs. Lewis' work has been greatly lessened through lack of support from the very agencies for which she is supposed to be working, and from whom she does not even draw a salary with any regularity. The Remedy An immediate jacking up of all the Negro agencies claiming to do social work is needed. Joining with them should be a welfare committee from every church in Greater New York with representation from all of the larger fraternal organizations. Out of it all should come a well formed organization, strong enough to maintain paid social workers in the Family Court, the Court of Domestic Relations, the Children's Court, and the Fifth and Twelfth District and Jefferson Market Courts. This organization should be supported by colored people, to the end that sufficient funds could be obtained to provide a temporary home for colored men and women in needy circumstances—partly because those just released from jail. Trained social workers should be sent to all the penal institutions where colored people are imprisoned, and a political committee of the organization should look into the discrimination practiced in the assignment of jobs and the failure to appoint Normarons. What person, what organization, what church will be the first to make the first move to render the service required?

Quick Response Stays Explosion Fire Department's Hasty Arrival Saves Property and Possibly Lives The quick response of the fire department possibly averted a big explosion in a dyeing and cleaning establishment next door to a two-story frame house at 1717 Atlantic avenue, where a fire was discovered on the top floor, on Friday, March 11, about 10 a.m. It was in the apartment of Mrs. John Simmons, a widowed mother. According to the police of the Atlantic avenue station, an employee of dye company discovered the blaze and sent in an alarm. The fire overheated the chimney. It seems that that mons, who is the mother of three children, had made a fire in the kitchen stove and forgot to regulate the damper before she went to work. All of the children had gone to school. The chimney caught on fire and the flames ate through the wall and continued to the ceiling. The quick arrival of the firemen --- Police Trap White Man Harry Eisenberg Told Imaginary Tale of Being Held Up by Negroes There seems to be a tendency among some white people to lose money and, to avoid detection, try to show the blame on some color man. Another case was brought to light when Harry Eisenberg, white, of 1849 Fulton street, tried to explain to the police how he had impaired to be robbed on March 15. "It's this way," he said to Lieut. Harry Hanley and Detective William King. "Two Negroes came to me from behind and hit me and took away my $15." The officers made believe they had Harry's statement seriously and asked him for a description of the man. He tried again. "Time was short and one was born." Elsbenberg replied. "Must have been that pair that have been holding up people around here the last two weeks." Guernmured Hanley to King, "Say, Elsbenberg, was one of the men mutate and binge in one eye and the other lost and ugly, hobbling on one foot." Harry answered that was the point. Shortly after that the police forced him to tell the truth. The white man stated that he had lost the money in a crap game and thought that this tale would be believed by the police. In order to make the hold-up happen Elsbenberg is supported to have one of his wife friend of his and asked him to hit him on the head. The friend, after complying, called the police. Harry is a chauffeur and collector for the Peerless Coat & Apron Supply Co., of which his brother is the head. While he was telling this tale to the police his brother was arrested and he came to the station house, but would not press a charge against him.

Smith of 477 Waverly avenue, who, according to the police, is one of Brooklyn's biggest "number bankers," was convicted in the Court of Special Sessions on March 17. The police have been after Smith or some time. He will come up for sentence March 25. Smith's indulging was due to his own carelessness, according to the detectives. On the day that they went to his office, the officers stated that they asked to see the contents of his wallet. Thinking that the safe was broken, Smith told them to go ahead and look into it. Upon investigation, within any trouble, in the same were found a large number of bolito slips, books with the records of plays, and $3,000 cash. The records showed that Smith did a business of over $2,000 a day or over $600,000 a year. He is reputed to be worth over $500,000 in real estate. The police have been hot on the trail of the number men in Brooklyn during the past few months, many of them being sent away for from thirty to ninety days.

Patrolman Edward Green Again to Fore in Capture of Brooklyn Bandits Patrolman Edward H. Green of the 37a Precinct, who captured a white bandit known as the "twogun subway bandit" some time ago, won new laurels on Friday night. March 18, when he captured three white thieves in a chase after their car had knocked down Patrolman Edward Koch, white. The capture was featured by the firing of many shots by the officers. One of the three men caught was Edward McCormack, 23, of 1339 Bergen street, a candidate for admission to the Police Department. This arrest may prevent him from realizing his ambition to become a policeman. Shortly after midnight Patrolman Koch, stationed at Atlantic and Schenectady avenues, saw a motor car speeding along Schenectady avenue. He noticed that the car did not have any lights, so he ran to the roadway and ordered the driver to stop. The officer, seeing that the driver had no intention of stopping, stepped aside, but not in time to escape being struck by the mudguard of the car. The car sped on. Lying on the ground, the policeman fired several shots that attracted Patrolman Green, who was lying in a departmental car. Green positioned the car at Schenectady avenue and bulldon street. With revolver drawn he forced the automobile to the curb. Green brought the three occupants of the automobile back to Patrolman Koch. The latter had received only slight injuries. When a search of the captured machine revealed three large sacks of sugar and three boxes containing cans of condensed milk, the men were taken to the Atlantic avenue station and grilled. They gave their names as Edward McCormack, Frederick McNell, 23, of 203 Lenox road, and Thomas Tobin, 21, of 648 Maple street. After a severe grilling the men are alleged to have admitted to having robbed the warehouse of Henry C. Ahern of 338 Reid avenue. McCormack, who was driving the car and who is alleged to have been trying to get on the force, has five charges against him. He was charged with burglary, driving an automobile while intoxicated, speeding, driving without lights, and knocking down a policeman. Officer Green, prior to coming to Brooklyn several years ago, was one of the few acting colored detective sergeants in the Department. It is stated that he was transferred to Brooklyn by former Police Commissioner Enright because he interfered with a police stock-pipe nunned Dancy, the latter now doing time. Green caught a bandit known as the "subway bandit" at a time when all of the police in Brooklyn were looking for him. Green received no recognition for this service. It is reported that his superior officers will send in his name to Police Commissioner McLaughlin for proper recognition. PROCTOR'S POINTS. Condensed from the Weekly Sermon of the Rev.

March 21. —Mrs. Cynthia Williams, aged 110 years, died here Wednesday. Old Napoleon Met His Waterloo Old Napoleon Met His Waterloo As Did Wellington, of the Same Name, and a Brooklynite Historians differ as to the contributing causes of the defeat of Napoleon by Wellington, but all agree both were able generals. That is what makes it hard to understand why Wellington Napoleon, 29, of 155 Hall street, is laughing in his St Helena, officially the Friday Street Jail, until next Friday, when he meeting his Waterloo last night. Wellington Napoleon told Detective Capano that riding in the subway made him sick, so he borrowed a trusty steed, which was a Studebaker, from the Hygrade Garage, at 1203 President street, while the car washer was in the rear, and handed for Harlem. Detective Capano, cruising about in a police filly, saw a car coming toward him pull up at the side of the road, the driver dismount and made a noise over Shank's mane. The detective overshook him without great difficulty, for it evidently made Wellington Napoleon sick to run too. The officer told Magistrate Rishfield that Wellington Napoleon's fingerprints coincided with fingerprints of a Wellington Napoleon who served six months in the city prison recently for a similar offense, so the court denied him the right of ball and he was held until next Friday on a charge of grand larceny. Out of respect to his suffering when compelled to ride in the subway, Wellington Napoleon made the trip to his St. Helena in a motor car decorated with sturdy wire sides, the property of the city.

I will prophesy that by the year 1935 the Negro death rate will equal the birth rate, and from then on the decrease toward extinction will be absolute.

The prediction does not relieve the present generation of Negroes tions of the Virgin Islands have been conducted since 1917. Congressional agents visited the islands shortly after their purchase; later an all-colored commission was dispatched to the islands by President Coolidge and the U.S. Secretary of Labor. Following this, various economic experts of the Treasury Department, in conjunction with the Navy, submitted voluminous observations bearing upon the present and future of the Virgin Islands. In the meantime, courageous Virgin Islanders have repeatedly visited the United States affirming their friends and officials in and out of government which it was alleged predominant in the islands. And as a final, it appears that Congress desires direct evidence of its own witnesses, in order to formulate an opinion which will fairly and justly prescribe a remedy for the suffering islands. It really appears that the briefs already on file here in America vividly portray the true conditions of the islands. That some substitute for the failing bay rum industry is necessary needs no proof; that the coal trade of St. Thomas has vanished is a self-evident truth; that a livelihood is difficult now to obtain in the islands is also self-evident; that avaricious promoters are desirous of exploiting Virgin island labor has also been brought to light from time to time; and that the 2793 SEVENTH AVE.

March 4 on the transport "St. Mihiel," certain Congressional members of the House Committee on Insular Affairs are journeying to the Virgin Islands, where they will check and recheck varied reports relating to the political, economic and educational status of the Virgin Islands, purchased by the United States from Denmark in 1977, since which time they have imported Uncle Sam to give serious attention to their signals of dire distress.

Mr. Crow has just come up from the where he is well known as a first-rate goofy trouble. Mr. Crow delivers the goods, any way; a hanging, a burning at the stake, a self-feathering if you have a weak heart and don't too much excitement at once. Mr. Crow will do what he has already so abundantly shown if able to do for Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and other sections of heat commonwealth. You are on the right-track Mr. Crow: keep Negro children out of the Nordic, all-American high school; make them school in a church, unheated except by a stove, with one teacher for all the grades. What matteat white children have a fine, big, steam heatliding. What matter that Negro taxpayers to send their children to the same building—just the same sort of building? Mr. Crow. Mr. Crow of Washington and points South, is the man to settle everything right. Delegates Negro parents will protest to you, Miss New Jersey, the National association for the Advancement People will send telegraph asking that Moro remove Edkar M. Fink from his Supervising Principal of Education because produced a policy of segregation for Negro school children in Toms River. But don't you just stick to Mr. Jim River. He's the man up things humming in New Jersey." bough school segregation, such as has just been in southern New Jersey, has not yet been in the higher courts, the Supreme Court of United States in a unanimous decision has justified the unconstitutionality of another type of "crow" law. We have already commented upon reliving of the Texas statute, which barred Jews from voting in the Democratic primaries; New Orleans ordinance and two laws of Louismop imposing restrictions on the owning or leasing property by Jews have been put under the ban as the old Louisville attempts at segregation, but surely the arm of the law is reachable. In time discriminatory school segregation also fall under the ban. The Constitution United States calls the Negro a citizen; the Court is busy making him one in fact as his name.—Nation. "Miss New Jersey, make the acquaintance of Mr. Jim Crow. Mr. Crow has just come up from the South, where he is well known as a first-rate go-getter of trouble. Mr. Crow delivers the goods, any day, any way, a hanking, a burning at the stake, a tar-and-feathering if you have a weak heart and don't want too much excitement at once.

Although school segregation, such as has just been introduced in southern New Jersey, has not yet been tested in the higher courts, the Supreme Court of the United States in a unanimous decision has just reaffirmed the unconstitutionality of another type of "Jim Crow" law. We have already commented upon its outlawing of the Texas statute, which barred Negroes from voting in the Democratic primaries; now a New Orleans ordinance and two laws of Louisiana imposing restrictions on the owning or leasing of property by Negroes have been put under the same ban as the old Louisville attempts at segregation. Slowly but surely the arm of the law is reaching around the Negro to assure him his ordinary rights. In time discriminatory school segregation may also fall under the ban. The Constitution of the United States calls the Negro a citizen; the pill as name—Nation. Kill It! "Meet Mr. Crow" "Judicial system might be reorganized and revised seems to appear from allegations of island citizens. In all, it would seem that the chief concern of America should be that the islands are now flesh of its flesh and blood of its blood, and as such should undergo preparation to reap the full benefits of American democracy, no matter what particular phase thereof is first to be applied. Hence, we shall await the return of the Congressional Committee in the hope that it will augment the conclusions already adduced by its own learned and magnanimous opinion; and that in addition to the benefits of citizenship which Congress has recently bestowed upon the islanders, a new day of unlawful Americanism may be announced for the Virgin Islands of the United States of America. "SOME time. when you boys get together, maybe you'll get full political recognition," said a grizzled white Republican, who is as familiar with interracial politics as a boll weevil is with cotton. "You fellows have too many species," he continued. "You're like the biological mimics, who change IT seems that the "Angry" Saxon Clubs of Virginia have not been quite able to enroll the whole state in their program for unconditional white superiority, judging from what we have just observed and heard in the city of Ranokoke, and when a white lawyer carelessly used the word "nigger" in a court trial, that judge as carelessly remarked: "Contempt of court—ten dollars fine, sir!" That's good; an insult to a client or to any other person in a civilized court is an insult to the court. A scavenginger "prohibition agent" turned up in the same court with a colored bellboy whom he had arrested in a hotel as a "hoottegger." The judge inquired and found out that the circumstances were as follows: That said prohibition officer had taken a room at said hotel as a guest, and as a private citizen had asked the servant (the bellboy) to go out and get him a little "liquor," giving the bellboy the money to get it with. The boy, the servant of the hotel's guests, went and did as he was asked. Finding this to be the nature of the case, the first judge remarked to the arresting officer: "This boy is discharged. He was only a servant to do the bidding of the guests. You, sir, are the really guilty party; you are trying to get a fee by taking advantage of a servant boy. Get out of my court, sir, and I don't want such buzzards as you ever to daren the door of this room!" And while I was in Roanoke the other day, what do you suppose I witnessed? You won't believe it, but a white man who had been badly beaten by a Negro was fined $50 and costs, sent to jail because he could not pay the fine, and the Negro was exonerated. Of course, the evidence in the case showed that the Negro was their coats every time the leaf of a tree changes its color. "But, what's that got to do with political recognition—with such things as outstanding appointments, the abolition of segregation, antilynching legislation, farm loan benefits, the ballot in Dixieland, and such other benefices as the race is striving for at this time?" I sputtered. "It's got just this much to do with it," the sage replied: "The politics of today is a scientific, unsentimental business, through which unified organization looks into itself. It's a question getting the money and the votes, and delivering the goods." "Mm! You must be thinking of Teapot Dome and of the Illinois and Pennsylvania elections." I countered, with a tinge of sarcasm. "Not exactly." answered the Nordic wizard, half smiling. "To come down to brass tacks." he continued: "Look at the delegations your group has sent on the Washington during the past year. Couldn't one representative bloc have done more than all have done?" he quizzed. "Perhaps so." I replied: "but you see those groups were sponsored by counter-leaderships. Some emanated from religious circles; others from private interests; while others were bona fide sincere political groups." I became of the seventeen point program announced shortly after election?" the veteran queried. "You haven't put over one single point, have you" "Well, they're under consideration." I retorted "Yes," he snapped; "and they'll still be under consideration when the roses bloom again." "Honest-to-government," the veteran an shouted: "Can't you see that you fellows have ignored science, which is the most essential element of politics. "But we're so busy trying to earn bread and meat money that we can't give much time to political auction bridge." I answered, under feelings that were a bit ruffled. "Well, I may be wrong," the veteran stated, cautiously, but he knew the exact plight of you fellows, as I see it: You're like the British army was when it tried to storm Fort Saratoga during the Revolutionary War, and failed because of too many "flank" movements. "Here's an honestly-stated situation, wherein ten million colored citizens are seeking the fullness of recognition which the U. S. Constitution recognizes. Here's a northern bloc and southern bloc. Here's a western bloc, throwing stones at each other. In the middle you have the urban bloc, perspiring over 'local situations,' but seldom casting D justified; but such evidence would not have saved a Negro who had beaten a white bully in Mississippi or Georgia. The Negro had really protected two white women whom this white bully had met on the street and was beaten up. The woman and her daughter had been accosted and one of them taken by the arm by the white who had a little bad Hqor in him. The woman slapped him, whereupon the brutal white processeled to administer a terrible beating to the two white women, with other white men looking on who did not interfere. The affair was occurring in front of the colored man's place of business. Seeing that the white bystanders did not help the women, he did not dare to. But after a while the women broke away from the belaboring brute and ran into the colored man's place of business. The colored man now felt liberty to protect his own place of business and bully, who promptly broke the door glass and came in, and was promptly knocked back through the opening by the colored man. The bully came back a second time and made one great mistake: he called the colored their lines into the national melting pot. There's Tammany Hall in New York, with a goodly section of your group bottled and corked up. They seem to fare well under Tammany; but where is their national influence? On the west, through Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri, industry is absorbed all your people's time. That's well and good, but scientific political organization would even give industry a boost." "And in the midst of all," the veteran exclaimed, "here comes a sordid description of what is alleged to be the bartering of public on the part of our principal political leaders of Georgia and Mississippi. How are you going to weather that storm?" the grizzled one concluded? "Well, they ought to investigate distranchisement in the South first, and the bartering public office last." I quickly replied. "Maybe so; but with less than three-quarters of the vote among your group as against every ten of my group, how are you going to start anything?" the veteran shot at me, with a wink. "By appealing to sincerity, honesty and loftiness of ideals," but scientific organization is the modern key to all those virtues," the veteran replied sadly, as he departed for the "Hill." Watch the Jews (They're Loaded) IT IS alleged that he libeled the Jews, and that is why Henry Ford, billionaire builder of "flivvers." is being sued for a million dollars by Aaron Sapiro, a Jew. of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Sapiro has pride in himself and his race, and he is personifying that pride by a million-dollar order upon the Dearborn Independent, which he is asking the Michigan courts to O.K. Mr. Ford could pay the alleged damages and still have enough money left over to keep the wolf away from his dqor until Halley's comet has appeared three or four times. But if Mr. Sapiro wins the suit, from then on Mr. Ford will be scrutinizing carefully as to what his official organ carries concerning Jews and their alleged shortcomings. He knows already that Mr. Sapiro has enough pride to energize every "fluvver" that ever "fluvvered," and then some. Save from the viewpoint of right and justice, it doesn't matter much to us who wins the suit; but it is a healthy lesson for us to absorb that the Jews are puffing over with pride; and they have a right to be. They're googeters. When someone injures a Jew, he's going to look right square into the muzzle of a gun loaded with serious consequences. It wouldn't hurt if we were more like the Jews. LETTERS Nicaragua and China THE materialism of a government controlled by money and the moral poverty of the American people were and the moral poverty of the American people were never better exposed than in our recent relations to the little country called Nicaragua. There is almost no protest from the American people, even though their government has stepped into the quarrel among citizens of a weaker country and is deciding the matter, like any big bully, in favor of the party that it wants to win — and this party is confessedly and professedly the non-progressive, non-liberal party of Nicaragua. man's wife, who was busy phoning for police, a bad name. Then the colored brother, to use his own words, decided "to put the real kazoot on the white bully"—whatever that may be. Anyhow, the powerful brown arm knocked the bully back through the opening a second time, then reached out and pulled him back in so as to knock him through it a third time. Meanwhile, the older white woman picked up a wrench and mauled said bully over the head, so that he would lie still for a little moment. The police came, arrested the Negro, but talked apologetically to him, took him into court next morning, and, as we have said, the judge, who really is a judge, proceeded to fine the white bully who had been very badly beaten up. One will think: "Of course, under that evidence, the Negro was protecting white women." But do you know that some of the bystanding white men came into court and lied; saying that the bully had not bothered the women; that the bully did not even break out that glass? And when the Negro was administering the beating to the brute, some of the men, who had not helped their own women, shouted: "Why do we stand here and allow a nigger to beat up a white man like that." "This is the "chivalry" of that stripe of "southern manhood." It seems to us that the chivalry was all under the hide of the Black Knight.

The great government itself is setting the example as the chief criminal when it considers only expediency and its own advantages in dealing with a weaker nation. What difference between such an act by a nation and the act of a well-armed burglar who holds up and robs and bullies another inhabitant? Another thing: it weakens the moral position of a government to be itself guilty of a thing like that. For example, America has to play bush-mouth on the doings of England in China because America is doing just as bad as a deed in Central America. Britain has to keep quiet on Nicaragua and America must keep quiet on Shanghai. Two thieves loaded with loot cannot yell for the police, one against the other. God! How we have fallen from the high ideals of Paine, of Lafayette and Lincoln. Even under Roosevelt, although lynchings and murmurs of merrily South, we did nothing ourselves internationally in a way to reserve the right to protest against the massacre of Jews in Russia and of Armenians in Turkey. But now it seems that this unfortunate accident of a Coolidge Administration is about to rob us of our last moral birthright. And there are both American and British people who do not agree to this bullying either in Latin America or in the Orient. They ought to have the courage to speak out. Know New York State Ellis Island, in New York harbor, was formerly known as Gibbet Island. It took the name from a single large tree, now dead, upon which various early pirates are said to have been hanged. At West Point, N. Y., is the only United States Military Academy. It has an average enrollment of 1,200, and was established in 1802. Resources of financial and banking institutions in New York State exceed eighteen billion dollars. Deposits in the 149 savings banks in the State increased in 1926 by 258 million dollars. In New York State live representatives of every civilized race in the world. There are fifteen times as many Jews as in Palestine, and nearly as many Italians as in Rome. Germans number about 300,000 and Irish about 285,000. There are 1,500,000 aliens in the State BOOK CHAT by MARY WHITE OVINGTON BY ROSSA B. COOLEY. Published by The New Republic, 421 West 21st street, New York City. Price $1.00. ROSSA B. COOLEY, with her friend, Frances Butler, in 1906 left Hampton Institute to go to St. Helena Island, off Beaufort, South Carolina. Their object was, as Miss Cooley puts it, "to test out in a community of some 6,000 Negroes (with less than a hundred whites), the scheme of industrial training for which Hampton and Tuskegee stand." This book is a rambling account of some of the things experienced during twenty years. Frances Butler died of fever shortly after she arrived at Beaufort, and Miss Cooley for a time had to do her work alone.

Foster Cross-Eyes ONE of the most noticeable conditions that may occur in the eyes of a young child is squint, or what is commonly known as cross eyes. It occurs usually between the ages of 2 and 6 and comes on gradually at first, excepting, of course, those cases of squint from birth. Squinters from birth, in most cases, belong to one or both of two classes: namely, paralytic and those lacking the fusion faculty. As an eye which has turned in or out from the normal position cannot look directly at the object at which the other eye is looking, the child quite unconsciously stops using the eye that is turned, and he is almost as truly one-eyed as if he had lost an eye by accident. If this condition is neglected, the child will lose vision in the eye that turns inward or outward, as the case may be, and once the vision is lost under such conditions it can never be regained. If, however, the defective vision is corrected at an early age, before the sight is lost in the crossed eye, the eye will become straight as long as suitable lenses are worn. It seems to be a common belief that a child will outgrow cross-eyes. This is not true. The tendency is for the condition to grow worse, and the cross-eyed eye will sooner or later become useless simply from non-use, just as an arm that is kept in a sling for a very long time will waste away and become practically useless. It is important that the child with cross-eyes should have its defective vision corrected as early as possible. As a rule, correction by glasses will not be successful after the age of eight, but occasionally cases have responded where the child was older. NO. CAROLINA GIVES $200,000 FOR EDUCATION RALEIGH, N. C., March.—The Legislature of North Carolina has just passed a bill giving to the North Carolina College for Negroes $200,000 for buildings for the next two years. This is one of the most fur-reaching actions that has been taken in recent years. The significance of it is not generally understood by the public. Of the many experiments in education in the South, none is more interesting than that at St. Helena. It was undertaken in 1862 and the volume entitled "Letters From Port Royal," edited by Elizabeth Ware Pearson and published in 1906, gives a vivid picture of the Sea Islands when the Negroes, whose masters had fed, became contraband of war. Miss Cooley skips forty-four years and shows the Negroes as she found them after a long contact with white teachers. Reading between the lines, one sees that the school had run down and that the academic training needed to be superseded by industrial. But the pioneers of the 'sixties had the same spirit as those who went down from Hampton in this century. Miss Cooley's book, like all the others of its kind we have had many stories of Southern schools—seeks to make friends for the work. It tells of the school curriculum, of the struggle for health and sanitation and of the education for better homes. Of this last the school may be inordinately proud, for they received the second prize in the American Better Homes competition of 1923, to be followed by a letter of congratulation from the President of the United States. Names anecdotes, some of them very touching, of the Negroes, young and old, who live in this remote corner of South Carolina. There is the old woman who, visiting the school and seeing the miracle of the water turned on in the kitchen sink, drops on her knees and cries: "Tank God. I lib to see dis day." And there is the patient young wife, totally blind, whose husband has lost his live stock and she has answers: "I has de appetite and data what keep me up." Anecdotes, pictures of the people they move about their ways, the school's advancement, a few bits of philosophyizing—these make up the book. Will the day ever come when we can have the whole story of a Southern school and its surroundings unmarrassed by the desire to please? Probably not until the school closes. In the meantime, we can have the cooks' that emulate by their omissions. She must know so much and she says so little. Occasionally we get bits of information like the fact that she has been unable to get the Negro women interested in making baskers since in Africa the making of baskers belongs to the men. There are stray sentences regarding the relation between black and white. But the school looms in the middle distance, obscuring much that we want to know. The story of the Sea Islands should be of unusual interest since here to a great extent the Negroes own their homes. Here too, they are little mixed with white, and many are not far removed from slavery. How do they fare? With all their industry can they make a decent living? Do the young people stay on or do they leave in large numbers for the North. One number surely we know. They have a school better than any that the white farmer's boy and girl North, South, East or West, has had. For here are sympathy and intelligence and practicality and the fine fire of idealsism.
