KILLS WOMAN; DIES IN FALL
UMBRELLA FAILS TO BREAK FALL; LANDS ON HEAD IN COURT
Harlem Records Second Murder and Suicide in Fortnight Woman Had Appealed to Police for Protection Short Time Before Tragedy
Harlem's second murder and suicide within a fortnight occurred Friday afternoon about four o'clock, when Herbert Morris, 30, 121 West 144th street, after slashing the throat of Vivian "Morris," 25, and being trapped in his apartment by the police, grabbed an umbrella and parachuted out of the fourth story back window to his death in the court below. A bloody table knife was found in the apartment by the police, who reported the victims dead on arrival.
The tragedy grew out of a series of quarrels between the two, who had been living together for two years. Morris already having a wife living in West 135th street, it is said. Vivian's surname could not be learned. Her friends called her "Billy."
Earlier in the day "Billy" had come to the West 135th street station for police aid in recovering arug and six suits of underwear, taken from her by Morris, the police said, and after restoring the property it was thought that a truce had been effected between them.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has received a letter from Hanford MacNider, Acting Secretary of War, acknowledging receipt of the N. A. A. C.

Mr. MacNider reports that the protest has been referred to the Commanding
About an hour later detectives received an anonymous phone message telling of the tragedy, and Detectives Duane, Bransfield, Burns and Coogan rushed back to the scene. Upon reaching Apartment 4-B they observed Morris hiding behind a trunk, and before they could lay hold on him, Morris grabbed an umbrella and dived head first out of the window, landing squarely on his head and fracturing his skull. According to John Deas, 9 West 186th street, brother of Herbert Morris, the pair had been squabbling for some time, and they often came to blows. Morris is said to have had a police record, and "Billy" was trying to have him "seemed up" again. Deas said, and a few nights before the murder a fight occurred between Morris and "Billy," the woman raising welts on her lover's head. According to Deas, Morris declared that the was going to kill the young woman because of her necessant nagging and her efforts o have him tailed
On the morning of the crime, "Billy" appeared at Heights Court or a summons for Morris on a charge of assault and disorderly conduct. On Friday afternoon, Morris was packing the things in the apartment to move out, and an argument started between the two over possession of some of the things. "Billy" then made her complaint at the police station. When detectives left an hour before the murder, it was believed that the situation had been peacefully adjusted, but not so. Deas declare that "Billy" opened theore afresh, and it was then that Morris slashed her throat with the knife.
The bleeding woman staggered down to the street, and after a boobie effort to walk, dropped dead on the pavement. Fear of another prison term is said to have been responsible for Morris' death leap. Dr. Lafont, arriving with an ambulance from Harlem Hospital, pronounced them both dead, and the bodies were removed to the morgue. Thus ended unhappily the romance of a girl from up New York State and a boy from down New Orleans.
Nathaniel Wyles, first reported as the slayer, was only a poyner at the Morris apartment.

Move to Recover Bank Book; Rituals and Paraphernalia Valued at $600, Must Now Go to Supreme Court in Civil Action
Bringing criminal action in Heights Court before Magistrate Delagil on March 13 against the Queen Esther Chapter 19 of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Moose, headed by Lella T. Mann, 297 West 135th street, alleged most noble queen, the Independent Protective Order of Moose, Inc., headed by Rebecca Harden Ridley, 150 West 133d street, founder of the Queen Esther Chapter 19, failed in their efforts to continue the action.
Attorney Thomas L. Higgins, 118 Livingston street, Brooklyn, defense counsel, precluded their efforts by serving there in court an order of mandamus upon Carrie Brooks, 297 West 135th street, treasurer of the I. P. O. of Moose, Inc., to recover a bank book, the alleged property of the Queen Esther Chapter 19 of the I. R. P. O. of Moose, thus throwing the case into the hands of the Supreme Court of New York County for civil action.
The case for criminal action to recover a trunk containing bonds, two rituals and paraphernalia valued at $500 of Queen Esther Chapter 10 of the L. P. O. of Moose, Inc., the trunk alleged to have been stolen last month from Lafayette Hall, 113rd street and Seventh avenue, John Bright, caretaker, was first brought to Heights Court before Magistrate Vitale on April 6. The case for civil action in the Supreme Court, Part I, was adjourned April (continued on Page 3).

Members of Club Kentucky Revue Charged With Presenting and Taking Part in Indecent Performance All Out on Bail
Frank Schiffman, 32, white, 1492 Montgomery avenue, manager of the Lafayette Theatre, 2225 Seventh avenue, and nine girls, members of the Club Kentucky Revue, were arrested immediately following the matinee Thursday by Officers Thomas Keevan and George J. Scott of the West 135th street station, where Schiffman was charged with conducting an indecent performance and the girls with participating in one. Bail was set at $500 each and the bonds were signed by Schiffman.
The following morning the party of ten were arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Delagi, who granted their attorney's request for an adjournment until May 24, at which time the revue will have returned to New York from a brief road engagement. George R. Simpson, 61 Park Row, defense counsel, declared that he had twenty witnesses ready to testify.
Magistrate Delagi continued the same ball, and a bond totalling $5,000 was furnished by the New Amsterdam Casualty Company, Jacob Wooft, agent. Assistant District Attorney George F. Ewald will prosecute the case.
When the show opened Monday, Officers Keevan and Scott purchased box seat tickets and attended the performance, and the following day an affidavit of the charge was drawn up. It was set forth in the affidavit that the girls executed a dance which was all too suggestive. The dance referred to was an Oriental number called "Egypt."
The nine girls against whom the charge was brought were: Fannie Cotton, 75 Mercer street, Newark, N. J.: Peggy Burnett, 166 West 12th street; Mary Saunders, 2144 Seventh avenue; Bertha Young, 115 West, 129th street; Francis Hubbard, 221 West, 116th street; Aslean Lynch, 230 Edgecombe avenue; Mamie Savoy, 116 West, 129th street; Mabel Nicholas, 231 West, 128th street, and Mary Duval, 580 St. Nicholas avenue. They ranged in ages from twenty-one to thirty-three.

Boston Patrolman Reinstated on Force
BOSTON, Mass., April 18. Patrolman Samuel Shelburne was cleared of charges preferred against him and reinstated on the force by Commissioner Hubert E. Wilson here Friday. The officer had previously been found guilty of untruthfulness by a trial board of three police captains. Feb. 18, and was dismissed March 5.
In a public hearing, demanded by Shelburne before the Commissioner, the findings of the trial board were reversed. Attorneys William H. Lewis and Butler R. Wilson were counsels for the accused officer.
Commissioner Wilson did flip Shelburne guilty of failure to aid Mrs. Madeline Prentis, who testified that she was ill in an alley off Blue Hill avenue on the night of Feb. 6. For this neglect the officer was given 210 hours' extra duty and his pay withheld from March 5 to the present.

It is a strange coincidence, too, something unusual in the affairs of this kind, but each of the "live wire" candidates who are striving for honors and the grand capital prize—a $1,724 Nash—are benefiting so equally that it is necessary to do hair-line figuring to determine the leader up to the present time.
The competition, therefore, so far as the relative standings of the contestants is concerned, depends almost entirely upon the results accomplished by the various workers between now and the finish. The struggle for supremacy will be fought out during the next few days, for the campaign comes to fateful close in just two weeks from this Saturday. Contestants, who expect to be among the big prize winners when the judges announce their decision on May 7, will have to do more than clip coupons to land the prize of their choice. This is not a coupon-clipping campaign. It is a subscription campaign and you will have to get subscriptions to win. TIME FOR ACTION. It is time for action and hustle now.

ATTORNEY GENERAL REFUSES TO GIVE DECISION
Ottinger in New York When Legal Delegation Called at Albany, but Assistant Says Ruling Will Not Be Made in Manner Solicited
A curt refusal to render any decision is said to have been given to the laywers' committee which went to Albany last Friday to obtain the State Attorney-General's opinion on the legality of holding the 1927 convention of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order Elks of the World in New York City in August. The committee, which was appointed by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the order, consisted of Attorneys Callaway of Cleveland, Harrison of Chicago, Sparks of Philadelphia, and Higgins of Brooklyn. Harrison acted as spokesman. Attending the conference, also, were Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, chairman of the New York convention committee, and Charles M. Hanson, secretary of the committee.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL
IN NEW YORK.
Whether the committee knew that they would be unable to see Attorney-General Ottinger is not clear. At any rate, no engagement to see that official was made and, when the committee was seeking to confer with him in Albany, the Attorney-General was in New York City in his office at 51 Chambers street. The conference was had with a Mr. Brown, who represented the Attorney-General in Albany.

Grand Jury Indicts Dr. Perry Cheney
Only Witnesses for Prosecution Heard—Felonious Assault Charged
Without being called to present his side of the story, the Grand Jury on Thursday indicted Dr. Perry Cheney on a charge of felonious assault. He must now stand trial before a jury and if found guilty may be sentenced to from one to fifteen years in prison. On December 26 Dr. Cheney was attacked by a street corner gang of white hoodlums following an automobile collision at 145th street and Eighth avenue, in which the doctor's car was involved. As a result of that attack John Torpey, white, 41 Bradhurst avenue, was stabbed after he injected himself into the argument following the collision. The stabbing was considered by eye-witnesses to have been an act of self-defense on the part of Dr. Cheney, who was being set upon by several white men in a freeform fight.
When the case came up in the Heights Court in January Magistrate McKintry held the doctor for the Grand Jury on the statements of Torpey and Harry Pinkerson, also white, 1416 Wythe place, the other man involved in the automobile collision, and he was freed in $1,500 ball.
Last Thursday, when the case was presented to the Grand Jury by the District Attorney's office, Pinkerson, Torpey and other white people involved in the affair were called, but no, witnesses of Dr. Cheney's were called nor was the doctor permitted to tell the Grand Jury what he knew.

LOVE-SICK PROMINENT CHINAMAN KILLS TWO AND SELF
Tour of Harlem Cabarets Easter Sunday Night Followed by Gruesome Tragedy in Apartment Near Riverside Drive
Dick Fung, 41, a Chinese, and his wife, Lillian, 27, colored, were shot to death Monday by William C. Meh, 33, member of a prominent Canton, China, family, in an apartment house at 621. West 135th street, between Broadway and Riverside drive. Meh then went to the roof, wrote a note identifying himself and sent a bullet into his own heart. He had been in love with Mrs. Fung, police learned, and several times had pleaded with her to clope with him. Meh was more recently a Fifth avenue importer. He came here to study at Columbia University.
The Fungs had just returned from a night of carousing, and Meh lay in wait for them. The woman's body was found on the floor of the kitchen in their apartment. She had been shot in the throat. Fung doubtless resisted, and the broken fragments of a milk bottle on the threshold of the apartment probably explains the open gash on top of Meh's head. But Fung probably ran and did not get a chance to fire at his pursuer, for his body was found on the second floor landing, and a trail of blood led down from the third floor. A fully load-

14 by Mr. Justice Tierney until Friday. Ruth Whitehead Whaley, 206 Broadway, is counsel for the L. P. O. of Moose, Inc.
Prior to February 9 Queen Esther Chapter 19, I. P. O. of Moose, Inc. was a part of the male parent body of the L. B. P. O. of Moose.
At a meeting on December 16, 1926, of the Queen Esther Chapter 19, I. B. P. O. of Moose, numbering about 500 members in New York City, Rebecca Harden Ridley was duly elected most noble queen and, according to the by-laws, officers are elected every six months.
Another meeting was called January 28, 1927, at which time they discussed the prolonged litigations of the white Moose against the Negro Moose. The women were being taxed to help defray the expenses of the litigations.
According to Mrs. Ridley, it was plain that the Queen Esther Chapter 14 treasury would soon be depleted. Incorporation of a separate body was therefore suggested and a vote was taken and carried by all but two dissenting votes.
Mrs. Mann said she dissented and Iola Lawson is believed to have cast the other negative vote. About 298 members are said to have voted at this meeting.
David C. Outlear, 19 West 135th street, was incorporation attorney and, on February 9, 1927, Robert Moses, New York Secretary of State, signed the certificate of incorporation, bringing into existence the Independent Protective Order of Moose, Inc., thus making them a distinct and separate body apart from the parent body of Moose, simply by dropping the word "Benevolent" from their title. Dissenting are as follows:
Rebecca Ridley; Jennie Holt,
2331 Fifth avenue; Florence Hurley,
172 West 141st street; Carrie Brooks;
Lenora Wilkerson. 2377 Fifth avenue; Alice Smith. 2331 Fifth avenue, and Willia C. Hannable. SOS Pinewood avenue. Toledo, Ohio.
On March 25 a meeting was called by Lelia T. Mann without the sanction or authorization of the I. P. O. of Moose, Inc., a number of whose members are said to have been in attendance. Mrs. Mann declares that she was never a member of the newly incorporated order. At this meeting loyalty to the parent body was expressed and the following officers were elected: Lelia T. Mann, most noble queen; Lilliam Flood, provincial queen; Elizabeth Gonzales, recording secretary; Clara Howard, keeper of the chest, and a complete

Warns Against Doping Stomach With Artificial Digestants
Most people who suffer, either reasonably or chronically, from gas, sourness and indigestion, have not timed their disgust toward incident foods of harmful drugs, stomach tonics, medicines and artificial digestants, and instead, following the advice so often given in these columns, take a teaspoonful or four tablespoons of little water after meals, with the result that their stomach no longer troubles them, they are able to eat as they please, and they enjoy poultry. Those who dislike Magnesia never dread the approach of meal time because they know this wonderful anti-acid and food corrective, which can be obtained from any good drug, such as pills which inhibit the stomach, prevent food fermentation, and make digestion easy. Try this plan yourself, but be certain to get Disturbed Magnesia, especially prepared for stomach use.

where I was called on a very sad mission. A friend of mine called up yesterday asking me to come to her home, that her husband was not expected to live. I rushed there immediately but he was dead when I arrived. Just sick since Saturday--pneumonia.
Oh! how I wish that one of your representatives had talked insurance to this friend. He did not have a cent of insurance or a dollar in the bank. Leaves a wife thirty years old with two children--a fine boy seven years old and a beautiful girl five years of age. It is really pathetic.
It is bad enough for a man to be so neglectful with just a wife. BUT WITH TWO LITTLE KIDDIES IT IS UNPARDONABLE. He always said he would live to be a hundred years old. This tragedy has certainly caused me to appreciate what VICTORY LIFE will mean to this community.

staff of officers for the year. The number present at the meeting is not reported. The trunk is said to have disappeared before this meeting took place. Both factions are, reserving the right to the name of Queen Esther Chapter 19, and it is a question whether the newly incorporated body under Mrs. Ridley makes void the use of the title by those who have chosen to remain with the parent body. Attorney Higgins testified in Heights Court that a unanimous vote is required before a chapter may withdraw from the parent body. If the white Moose obtain a permanent injunction against the Negro Moose, it will not affect the I. P. O. of Moose, Inc., Mrs. Ridley said.

The party did not end until 7:30 o'clock. Monday morning.
Tenants Heard Shots.
Other occupants of the five-story building where the Fungs lived heard shouts and screams and muffled shots. Overturned chairs and tables indicated a struggle. Meh's body lay at the edge of the roof, his head projecting over it. Blood from the wound in his head had dropped to the ground. His hand still was crooked in the peculiar way he had to hold it to shoot the bullet into his heart. Neighbors notified the West 152d street police station. The pair had been married about nine years.

No Decision on Elks' Convention
(Continued from Page 1.1) and that official announced that there could be no such opinion rendered by that office in the manner solicited. COMMITTEE'S REPORT READY.
A sort of man-to-man talk ensued on the Gratton Law and the possibility of that law affecting the scheduled convention. The lawyers then drew up their briefs and they have been forwarded to Wilson in Washington. While it has not been authoritatively stated, it is said that a majority of the lawyers hold to the opinion that there is nothing in New York State law that would prohibit the holding of the convention in this city or that might act to jeopardize the order.
The report is scheduled to be released from the grand exalted ruler's office this week in Washington. LOCAL COMMITTEE CONTINUES PREPARATIONS. Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, chairman of the local convention committee, said emphatically that the grand exalted ruler had no power to order a change in the meeting place of the next grand lodge session, which the members voted in 'Cleveland to hold in New York City.' He further stated that the so-called Grattan Law simply prohibited the wearing of the same emblem as that of the white order and, in view of the fact that the I. B. P. O. E. of W. emblem was different, there could be no conflict with the law.
The local committee is proceeding along with its preparations after recovering from the mild sensation created by the exclusive story of the appointment of the lawyers' committee published in The Amsterdam News last week. They say that under no circumstances will the twenty-eighth session be taken away from this city and that, whether the lawyers render an adverse decision or not, there will be a convention here in August. Interesting developments in the case are looked for and it is expected that some choice stories will be released soon concerning the apparent reason for attempting to take away the convention from New York.

Col. Chas. Young Post Holds Lively Meeting
The regular meeting of the Colonel Charles Young Post No. 398, of the American Legion, was filled to the brim with enthusiasm in the Urban League Building on Thursday evening. Many members were present who had not attended a meeting of the post for over two years. William C. Anderson, the post financial officer, reported that the treasury was in wonderful shape for the first time in many months and there are more active and paid-up members than ever before.
Many of the members are planning to take advantage of the "ON TO PARIS" convention trip and pilgrimage to the old familiar scenes witnessed by them during the recent World War. With these veterans will be their comrades, mothers, wives and sisters.
This trip has been arranged by the national organization of the American Legion, which voted two years ago to hold its 1927 convention in Parts and plan a pilgrimage over the old battlefields upon which they fought ten years ago. Other topics discussed were: the establishment of permanent headquarters, further co-operation by the post in civic and community programs, the annual poppy drive on Memorial Day, definite organization of a ladies' auxiliary to the post, and the citizens' military training, comp segregation.
The new administration of the new post is: Commander, Myles A. Palge; vice-commander, Harry A. Leonard, and adjutant, P. Oliver Tetem.
The next meeting of the post is scheduled to be held in the home of Vice-Commander Harry Leonard. 110 West 139th street, on April 29.

Knight is a former Pullman porter, and he and his companion were arrested on the complaint of State Railway Policeman Ryan.
According to Ryan, they were caught in the net of robbing a Pullman car in the Mott Haven yards Thursday, having filled two dress suit cases with pillow slips, curtains and bed sheets, valued at $60. Ryan notified the police, and Detectives Knecht and McCarthy, of Morrisania station, made the arrest. Both confessed to the charge, according to the police, and admitted having made three such trips after linen in the Pullman cars.

Clanrod Jones, Auto Mechanic, Turns Lawyer to His Regret
Refusing to employ counsel and testifying in his own behalf, Clanrod Jones, 245 West 154th street, clearly stated his case to Magistrate Delagi in Heights Court Saturday. Hamilton Williams, 200 West 136th street, had issued a summons on Jones to recover his automobile, which Jones had refused to deliver to him. Jones explained that he and a man named Gordon had operated the garage at 155th street and Mad-
ison avenue on a partnership basis, and that he decided to take over all the space, and requested Gordon to move. Within Gordon's space that Jones took over stood a car on which Jones said $30 storage was due. Jones demanded payment from Gordon, who refused, and Jones then secreted the car somewhere in the Bronx and held it for security. Jones said that he did not know that Williams owned the car.
Magistrate Delagi ruled that Jones could not hold Williams' car to recover a debt from Gordon, but that his recourse was in the civil court. The magistrate demanded that Jones return the car to Williams, under threat of a larceny charge. The reluctant Jones left the court accompanied by Officer Boyle of the West 135th street station, who was sent along to see that Williams got his car.

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor live in an apartment over Braunstein's store at 2394 Seventh avenue, and are regular customers at the store. Braunstein testified, and, although Mrs. Taylor is said to have been buying there for some time, Braunstein said that he did not know her name.
On March 19 Taylor went in the store and asked Braunstein to cash the check, which was dated March 19 and drawn on the National City Bank of New York, and made payable to Elfreda Scanland. The same name appeared on the reverse side of the check as a signature of indorsement. Braunstein said that Taylor told him it was its wife's name and signature.
Braunstein deposited the check at the Chelsea Bank, corner of West 125th street and Seventh avenue, Maron 21, and on March 15 the teller notified Braunstein that the check had been honored. He then drew the $500 and paid it to Taylor, it is said. Mrs. Scanland, upon discovering the withdrawal of $500 from her account, notified the police. Detective William Boyden of the West 125th street station apprehended Taylor and questioned him, and after receiving conflicting statements placed him under arrest.
UNMUZZLED DOG
OWNERS PAY FINES
The following persons paid a fine of $1 to Magistrate Delagi in Heights Court. Thursday for having on the street their unmuzzled dogs, in violation of Section 17 of the Sanitary Code, after being handed a "ticket" by Officer Daly of the Health Squad:
Muriel Hale, 169 West 130th street;
Walter Alexander, 322 Lenox avenue; Anita Hayes, 255 West 138th street; Louis Britins and George Bush, both of 300 West 138th street, and Theophilis Morgan, 214 West 148th street.
A ten inch dirk which he was carrying up his sleeve, with the blade open, resulted in the arrest of Frank Wallace, thirty-two, a superintendent of 32 West 100th street, according to Policeman Blackmore of the East 126th street station. This was the policeman's first arrest. Magistrate Simpson, in Harlem Court, held Wallace in $500 bail on a charge of violating the Sullivan Law.
Wallace was charged with disorderly conduct by Jack Blisky, white, a taxi chauffeur of 472 Neptune avenue. Coney Island. Blisky said that Wallace had hired his car, had asked him to drive the car to several places and had refused to pay the fare. He called the office, he said, when he suspected Wallace's actions. On Blisky's complaint, Magistrate Simpson fined Wallace $2.
LACK OF EVIDENCE
FREES ACCUSED MAN
"If that little child had said that you laid your hands on her I would send you to the workhouse for six months!" This was the attitude of Magistrate Delagi, sitting in Heights Court Friday, when lack of corroboration obliged him to discharge Vincent Wallace, 21, 300 West 138th street, who had been accused of making an indecent proposal to an eight-year-old child and with offering her a nickel not to tell her mother. Although the child and her mother testified that Wallace came to their apartment often, Wallace denied the charge completely, adding that he had never gone to their apartment, which is in the same building.

White Employees Transferred to More Desirable Work, Leaving More Arduous Tasks for Colored Workers Promotions Based on Race
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18.—Neval H. Thomas, president of Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Haley C. Douglass, of its Civil Service Committee, called upon the director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on Saturday to enter complaints against the many handicaps under which Negro female employees labor in the Government department. There is a large number employed in the bureau and the work—the printing of paper money, bonds and postage stamps—is laborious.
The white employees are far better circumstanced in salary grades and the character of the work they perform. They have appealed to the American Federation of Labor. The protest which these gentlemen filed with the Bureau was against its recent introduction of machines which increased the labor of the employees. A group of the whites were transferred to more pleasant work, leaving only the Negro workers for disagreeable work. Much of the work is done at night. Colored employees are included also from the numbering vision.

If members of the F. and A. M. craft (Prince Hall) show some substantial effort to meet their obligations to the builders of the temple in West 144th street by May 5, the builders Knapp and De Passo, will grant the fraternity a further extension of time.
In a letter to Winifred C. Carr, secretary of the Prince Hall Temple and Home Association, the builders had previously set May 5 as the deadline for a payment on the $60,000 due more than a year ago. Failure to pay on that date, they said, would cause foreclosure proceedings to begin at once. This was brought out at a mass meeting of the craft from the first, second and third Masonic districts held Friday night at Imperial Home in West 129th street.
The meeting, presided over by Arthur Handy, was well attended. Speeches were made by Grand Master Joseph Sullivan. Deputy Grand Master Edward Sherwood, Worthy Matron Mrs. Alice Campbell, O. Cassell, Jerome P. Ottley and others. Songs by the Imperial Quartette varied the speech making.
It was agreed that the dollar a week plan now in vogue would be increased by each member to three or four dollars, if they could afford it. in order to meet the generous demands of the builders. Optimi seemed to abound and it appeared to be the feeling of the members that the payment would be made and the building saved.

Spoils Party in Downtown House in Jersey
City
Charles Huchaloy, 28, 310 Van Horne street, proved a real "cut-up" at a "parlor social" staged at the home of Alex and Lena Wilson, 204 Railroad avenue, Jersey City, Thursday night, the police say, for when he became enraged at what he considered a "too friendly attitude of his wife for another guest," he whipped out a knife and slashed her across the left hip.
The crowd gathered at the Railroad avenue address for the event and everything went fine until about 2 a.m., when Zepherine, the wife, as the police say, showered too much attention on a male guest. Charley became enraged and the fight started. When things calmed down again, Zepherine was lying on the floor, a deep slash on her hip.
A taxicab removed her to the office of Dr. Keith Madison, 354 Pacific avenue, where she was treated and later arrested.
In the meantime, Patrolman Smith of the Grand Street Station learned of the fracas. He, in turn, notified the station and Captain Michael Kelly, with the night squad men and reserves, visited the scene of the party and placed Huchaloy under arrest on a charge of atrocious assault and battery. The following guests were booked as material witnesses: Claude Moore. 37. 211 Third street. Hoboken; Alex and Lena Wilson, 204 Railroad avenue; Mary Taylor, 405 Newark street.

Spies on Wife Through Window Probably Fatally Wounds Man in Room With
Her
Slashed across the neck and throat with a razor by Braddle Warren. it is claimed. Tip Wilson, 24. S212 Clinton avenue. Jersey City, is at the point of death in the City Hospital. Warren claims that from a rear window, last Friday night, he saw his wife, Lillian, and Wilson in a compromising position. He grab
bed a razor from the bathroom medicine closet and attacked Wilson.
Ten minutes later Detectives Harry Norton and Lee Schrieber of the Communipaw Avenue Station arrested Warren in the City Hospital on a charge of atrocious assault and battery.
After having slashed his alleged rival, the husband apparently experienced a change of heart, summoned a taxicab and hurried Wilson to the hospital for treatment.
In the meantime, Mrs. Warren died from the house and along Jackson avenue until she met Patrolman Georghan, to whom she told the story of the fight. Georghan took the woman into custody and escorted her to the Communipaw Avenue Station, where Lieut. James Rutter booked her as a witness in the case.
Hurrying to the hospital, Detectives Norton and Schreiber took a statement from Wilson. The latter said that he had gone to the Warren home to visit a boarder, Lee Ivory. Ivory was absent at the time, and Wilson went inside to await his return. He and Mrs. Warren were in the kitchen when Warren entered through the bathroom window and ran amuck. Wilson, however, stated at the beginning of his statement that he was in a place where he "had no right to be." His version was corroborated by Mrs. Warren, who made a statement to Detective Norton.
A very different story was related to Detective Schreiber by the husband. Warren said that he left home shortly before 7 o'clock to go to work as usual.
Suspecting his wife of improper conduct, he returned to the house, went to the rear yard and climbed to the roof of an extension to the main building. From that place of vantage, according to his story, he saw his wife and Wilson caressing each other. Finally, he stated, Wilson pulled down the shades and the pair went into an adjoining room.
Enraged, Warren says, he entered the house by climbing through the bathroom window. He reached for any sort of implement which might serve as a weapon.

Samuel Wilkins May Lose Sight of Right Eye
Shooting out his opponent's right eye over a debt of twenty dollars, Fabian Williams, 92 West 134th street, was arrested early Easter Sunday evening by Detective Christiano of the West 125th street station, and charged with felonious assault, with intent to kill. He was held without bail for a hearing today.

VOLET RAYS and electric dryers are installed in a luxurious dog and cat hospital opened for the pets of the rich.
The hospital has an operating room, bathroom, consulting room, private quarters for the animals whose owners can afford them and a "charity ward" for the less aristocratic pets of the poor.

Household Hints
Always scald woodenware after using it. Dry in a fairly cool place to prevent warping.
Keep two brooms—one for the kitchen and one for the fine rugs.
If you have a garden, read this: Kitchen garbage makes excellent fertilizer for the garden. Plant it in a deep hole, throw a little earth over it and plant another layer. Cover with earth, adding a little lime if the soil needs it.

The Cook Says---
When planning a fruit salad from cans always place the cans against the ice early in the day so that their contents will be cold when dinner time comes.
Spices left open will lose all flavor quickly. Keep a set of labeled jars or tins for coffee, tea and condiments.
Buy potatoes in small quantities; for, once sprouted, they become soft and unit for use. The same is true of onions.
Bacon fat is the most useful fat for sautéing or frying. A bit of bacon or salt pork lends flavor to green beans or baked beans if cooked with them in the pot.

Girls, don't let the boys discuss you at their barber shop conventions as being a little beggar, because if it once gets out that you've got the "Oh, please get me this blues" they're going to make for the opposite direction when they see you coming. A popular young man told me the other day that it is the independently dispositioned girl that got there with him. "Frankly," he confessed, "I'm tired of girls leaning on me. There are girls who continually ask me for something. Now don't get me wring, but sit right, and I don't anywhere with girl anything. They sure fall in my opinion even when they ask for a thing as small as an ice cream soda. I'd far rather ask, but they won't give me a chance."
And he's quite right. It's the independently-spirited girl who is most admired and sought after. It starts the men to thinking. Give them a chance to do a little asking and let them know what a refusal sounds like. Lots of girls have the false notion that they are flaunting their independence when they demand that a fellow give them something. They pretend they get a thrill from it, whereas in reality they know they're acting small, and the men know it, too.

Kindly tell me how to get something
in the line of Government work to

Thanking you, I am.

Dear Rosa E. H:
The best thing for you to do
is to buy "The Chief," a civil
service weekly paper, which gives
a detailed description of Government
positions and the requirements for
them. You can buy one at most
news-stands. I'm sure you will get
the information that way.
Luck to you.

Dear Emery Ann:
I am a young man of 20. My mother put me on the street about a year ago. I had nowhere to go. A good girl friend of mine seemed to be hanging her mind, she moved from that address. Two days later I returned, to be taken back, but the apartment was vacant. All my friends and relatives were in my address. They had put my clothes in the pawnshop. As I was out of work, they had to stay there and I had only the clothes on my present girl took the clothes out of hock for me. I found the first girl about a year ago through my kid brother and paid him some money back, but for respect. Now she wants me to come back, declaring she needs help. She wants me to give my girl the now-down coat. She probably has seen her mistake and, as I have kept myself up, she now wants me back. I have not the mind to leave the

I have promised to marry her. I do not want to break my promise. Kindly tell me if I am wrong and what to do.
Yours very truly,
TIRED SEL.
Dear Sel:
Looks as if you're not very much in love with either, because when a fellow in love knows it and he knows what it is, for heaven's sake, don't be a clinging vine any longer. If I were you, I would not go back to the first girl, as she is undoubtedly spurred on by the fact that she sees another girl interested in you. If you really loved the second girl, I think she would make you happier than the first, as she stood by you when you needed her most. He being that years older doesn't make a difference. If it's just a case of gratitude, be careful, as you've got to consider your own happiness, too, and love is essential in marriage.
EGYPSY ANN.
Dear Egyptsy Ann:
I am a high school girl of 16 and in love with a boy two years my senior. He is very jolly, see him often. He is very nice, nice but he doesn't seem to care for me the way I care for him. Please tell me how I can win him. Respectfully yours.
Dear Anxious:
First of all you'd better make sure that he isn't interested in someone else. If he isn't, you must not frighten him away with a lot of sweetheart stuff. Become his pal first by getting interested in something in which he is interested. You'll find, as a rule, jolly boys like jolly girls. Therefore, I advise you to be as lively as you can and also as individual as you can. You see him, you can him thinking about you. Are you an interesting conversationalist? Can you make him feel at ease when he's with you? If not, better get busy, slister.

Beauty Secrets

DRYING the face properly is almost as important as washing it. The proper way to wash your face is to use a cloth, not too harsh, or a flesh brush, and to rinse thoroughly, using cold water at the last, no matter what the temperature of the original washing water may have been. Then dry with not too rough a towel, using a gentle mopping movement, pressing the towel against the face not too hard, and then rinsing with a harsh towel may stimulate the circulation, but rubbing irritates and roughens the skin, and it is far better to use cold water or the massage for this purpose.
If you want to rub your face because you think it will give you more color, try this method instead: Drink two glasses of hot water before each meal and two at bedtime. Or dip your wash cloth in very hot water and apply it to the face, lightly at first and then more closely. When the cloth is cool, bathe the face in very cold water. The color from this treatment lasts two or three hours, which is certainly much longer and less harmful than rubbing with a towel.
But the most effective way of getting color into your cheeks is to lead a healthy outdoor life and give your blood in circulation to chlorine as intended it to circulate. Now that the weather will permit, I want to encourage every woman to spend as much time out of doors as possible. Breathe deeply and take long walks.
Easter Sunday I noticed upon the boardwalk in Atlantic City thousands of beautiful women. But in checking up on their appearance they were not so pretty after all. Many suffered from rough, sallow and pimpled skins. Check up on the condition of your complexion. Is it as it should be?

is reading an urgent request in flapper English
from her daughter, Tracy, to spend the summer
vacation with her in New York City. Mother
and daughter have been estranged since Tracy's
graduation from college; so, this request brings
joy to Mathilde’s heart. .
But. the hideous past rises before the mother,
for it was in this same room that Mathilde had
awaited her husband's return home early in the
morning eleven years ago, a policeman finaily
bringing word that Mr, John Hull had been found

BRUNSON LEADS IN BIG TOURNEY
Gray Captured High Run in Musicians' Billiard Tournament
The stage is all set Saturday afternoon for the final of the Musicians' Third Annual Handicap Billard Tournament, with Brunson seven winners, one loser, with two to play, Luke Smith, his contender, with six winners, two losers and two to play. Both of them had one game with Buzey Wheatley. This served two purposes. As a warm-up, and by them both defeating Wheatley it placed them as natural contestants, either for in tie at the worst if Smith won as the score now stood — Brunson, eight winners, one loser; Smith, seven winners, two losers.
Manager Willis acted as referee, as this was the deciding contest. Brunson started off in his usual calm way, clicking off his regular 67s. Smith, always of a quiet self-controlled disposition, could not get off so good, owing to his niseed. Kissed with his feeding Brunson a handcap of fifteen points he had no time to lose.
At the end of the first fifty Brunson was leading by three points. Luke got the balls going nicely, clicking 9-11-7, placing him in front. He looked good for a winner. Brunson tightened up with a couple of safe plays, then he got going again with 6-5-5-4, winning by eleven points. Score. 75-79. Joe Gray captured the high run for the tournament, and Scot the booby prize. Next season Brunson will play in the tournament. He was winnings prize with a handsome merry winnings prize. Joe Gray (Class B) will receive a prize for the high run and Scott the boby, and so rings down the certain on tournaments for the season 1928-29. Now the management is arranging for some very interesting pocket billiard matches with Roy Holland, Lindsey Fair representing the Lafayette as against all challengers. Finals of the tournament are:

Melodrama to Hold Boards at the Douglas
That melodrama as a play form has not lost its hold on public flavor will be easily seen the latter part of this week at the Douglas Theatre. when large and enthusiastic audiences will express unanimous approval of the Universal Film de France production to be presented by Carl Laemmle, the first picturization of Jules Verne's famous book and play "Michael Strogoff."
From the opening scenes when the "Czar of all Russia" entrusts to the hero, his "secret courier," a message to the Czar's brother, the Grand Duke, beleganted at the head of the army in Siberia, 5,900 miles away, the way of that perilous journey in a rousing cellar, the audience were deeply engrossed in the mishaps and trumphs, the perils and the daring of the intrepid hero, ably enacted by Ivan Moskine, referred to in the program as "Europe's Screen idol."
And, indeed, there was plenty to rivet the attention on the screen. The Grand Ball at the Palace of the Czar reveals some of the splendor of that regal court, and as the sequence is in color, the effect is further employed in scenes of unusual brilliance at the tented camp of the Grand Duke's enemy, the Grand Kahn of Tartary.
Antonio Moreno and Renee Adoree at Renaissance
Thursday and Friday, April 21-22, John Gilbert in "Flesh and the Devil" will be the attraction at the Renaissance Theatre. Supporting Gilbert are Greta Garbo and Lars Hanson.
This epic of the screen is one of the season's outstanding pictures, passion, the kind that runs like life, here here, and critics produce it as one of the most sensational pictures ever produced. See it at your favorite theatre.
James Oliver Curwood's "The Flaming Forest," with Antonio Moero and Renee Adoree, will be the feature picture Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 23-34-25.
A forest fire, the most vivid one ever seen on the screen, is shown in this picture. If you like thrills, this is the picture to satisfy. In "Flaming Forest" one gets thrills from start to finish. The two pictures go to make an ideal program for the week at the Renaissance Theatre.
Lafayette Theatre Announces Many Attractions for Coming Weeks
Imposing Array of Pictures
Also Secured to Share
Honors With Stage Of-
ferings
The most imposing array of picture
announced this season is
scheduled to appear at the Lafayette
in the very near future. Apparently the management of the
popular Seventh avenue house is
not satisfied to rely on its stage
attractions to satisfy their patrons,
but is reaching out for the very
best the screen has to offer.
For next week two features will be shown—on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday "The Road to Broadway," with Edith Roberts, and during the second half of the week Betty Compson in "The Ladybird." Each of these pictures played to packed houses on Broadway and are sure to be a very welcome addition to the stage attraction, which is "The Southland Revue." For the week beginning Monday, May 2, the film attraction will be "The Fire Brigade." This picture has just finished a long run on Broadway, where it was heralded as the greatest fire story ever written. During the following week a film version of "The Show Girl" and Alexander Dumas "The Count of Monte Cristo" will be the screen attractions. Then will come Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky in "One Night of Love" which will be followed by Louise in "Tell It to the Marties."
In addition to the splendid list of feature pictures announced for the next few months by the management of the Lafayette, comes the announcement of the best stage attractions which Harlem has seen this year. This week, Irvin C. Miller's "Desires of 1927" is drawing the cards. Next week, a new musical comedy revue "Southland Revue" which created a sensation in Philadelphia, is certain to bring joy to the hearts of those "theaters" shows for which the Lafayette Theatre is famous all over the country. The Southland Revue will be followed by "Watermelons," the attraction by "Watermelons," the attraction by "Jack Goldberg's 7-11 company has been courting the country." Then, incombustible Lucky Samba and new show featuring Doc Straine and Sally Burns.
With a title that is entirely unknown, but with celebrities of the stage who are at the head of the profession, the Southland Revue, which comes to the Lafayette next week, is one of the fastest, funniest and sweetest musical revues which has graced the stage in many a day. The cast is headed by Tim Moore, who, with his partner, Jimmie Johnson, has been keeping audiences "in stitches."
The chorus is by far the finest seen in Harlem this season. Last week number 19, "Super," topped in Philadelphia. In order not to lose any of its value, the management of the Lafayette will condense the two acts into a single, customary length, thus insuring a show without a single dull moment.
Stage Clean-up Seen by Well Known Critic
Discussing the real stage cleanup and padlock law, Bide Dudley, well known dramatic critic, spoke last Friday night at the Brooklyn Jewish Centre, 667 Eastern parkway.
"The whole movement has a far-reaching effect," said Dudley. "It has tended to make the producers more cautious. They realize today that New York is not a dumping ground for their theatre-goers. A clean show goes over financially and causes the theatre-going public to watch the announcements of the producers' future offerings.
The padlock law, which states that a theatre housing an attraction that imperils the morals can be closed and padlocked by the police, is liable to cause a surprise for some producer who attended the opening performance and received an O. K., then sailed for Europe. In the meantime some questionable attraction may have been added to the show and he is apt to find his theatre and show padlocked upon his return," concluded Dudley.

G. Anderson's "Appearances" Off to Big Start
(From Los Angeles Express)
Whatever else you find in "Appearances," the play by the young Negro writer, Garland Anderson, which opened at the Majestic recently, you probably will be struck by the author's evident sincerity and by his decided flair for the humorous.
There is plenty of plot to the play, which moves along steadily and simply in its plea for the Negro. The mere fact that this is the first drama from the pen of Anderson, a former San Francisco beilboy, makes it interesting.
In particular, the courtroom scene in the second act stands out with unusual clarity. This is where Anderson's ability to paint character is best demonstrated, for his work, as interpreted by the Majestic cast, in several places nearly stops the show.
Ralph Cloninger plays the leading role and also is director of the play. He stresses the melodramatic points and turns in an entertaining performance. The leading feminine role is played by Carol Wines, with Freddie Cummings offering a bit of comedy and Darlis Hudson playing for sympathy. Others in the cast include Fergus Reddle, Olaf Hytten, Ethel Baker, Al H. Hallett, Harry Jordan, Ira A. Robertson, Robert Stone, Doris Ingram and Nanette Vallon.

As usual, admittance will be only through invitations. The Postos Club is composed of young men in the Postal Service, mainly clerks in the General Post Office. Their organization, the first of the many formed among postal workers, is known as the most exclusive. The officers are: Will J. Truly, president; James D. Kibg, vice-president; Charles H. Wilson, recording secretary; James Washington, corresponding secretary; James A. Smith, treasurer. The members are: Fred Moultrie, Arthur E. Savage. John N. Wilson, Granville Dash, Charles W. Axt and Walter O. Collymore, Jr.
Another First National Picture at the Roosevelt
Anna N. Nilsson wears trousers and the rest of her famous masculine trappings in First National's "Easy Pickings", in which she is featured at the Roosevelt Theatre this week.
The Nilsson fans, after seeing her in a be-trousered role in "Ponjola" and "Miss Nobody", were clamoring for another role in which her blonde beauty is sexually at least—disguised in sex. Those who like her best in strictly feminine costume, however, will not be surprised when they see Easy Pickings': She has an elbowed and pleasingly assorted wardrobe, and the male disguise is worn only in the first sequence.
Kenneth Harlan plays opposite Miss Nilsson in "Easy Pickings," and between them a very charming love story is developed. But primarily, the plot is of the tenex mystery variety, "spoofy" but well knit and logical. It was adapted as aids from the stage play and screen story of the same title by William A. Burton and Paul Crunger.
At the Lincoln
Adolphe Menjou is seen as Satan in Paramount's production of "Sorrows of Satan," which arrives at the Lincoln on Thursday. Ricardo Cortez, Carol Dempster and Lya de Puti complete the featured cast. John Russell and George Hull adapted the novel for screen use. Forrest Halsey is credited with the scenario.

‘the North End in the 10-round

June 8.
“Suggs” has defeated Benny
Bass, “Red” Chapman and Sammy
Fuller, while Chapman bas been
defeated by Finnegan and Fuller
in addition to Suggs. In five rears
of campaigning in all partstof the

has lost hare been to Finnegan
when he fought on one leg, and to
“Babe” Herman, who was a juntor
lightweight, said Lumansiy.
“On Friday night.” concluded
the mentor. “Suggs Will beat Full-
er so decisively and will make such
an impressive showing in doing £0

SECOND PERIOD CLOSES TONIGHT
Candidates Put on More Speed
(Continued from Page 1.) tory to any man or woman in the race. "Good intention" merely will not win—all the "wishing" and "honing" in the world will do no good. The "live ones" who will come out on top are the ones who are now WORKING and WORKING hard. From the looks of things now, some of the contestants who have been among the leaders in the past will be the ones most disappointed when the final count is made. NOW FOR THE FINISH.
And now for the whirlwind finish. Now for the sensations and surprises. These are the days that will test the resourcefulness and energy of the candidates. Here is where their courage upholds them and makes them FIGHT, or the lack of courage takes the stiffness out of their knees and leaves them trailing in the dust. WHICH will it be? Will you be an "also ran?" Supreme courage is needed—the fighting "do or die" spirit. It is vitally important that your greatest efforts be put forth NOW.
Votes will be piling up much more rapidly during these last two final weeks. The LIVEST and MOST IMPORTANT part of the campaign is now at hand. And, while all the candidates are practically on the same footing, those who want to win—those who have the ambition and energy to make a real showing in the vote column are afforded the biggest opportunity of the whole campaign to forge ahead and get the winning votes.
It's the toward who quits to mis-
fortune
THE knave who changes each
thing in food who starts like a
wind.
The news all his chances away.
The time to succeed is when others
the person show traces of tire;
the foot on the home
and now the flag and the
SECOND PERIOD VOTES
DIEFEMELY IMPORTANT.
The last big vote offer of The
Association News short campaign
comes to a close tonight at 12
p.m. at 12 o'clock midnight. April
in the lowest vote offer of the en-
pression comes into effect.
The following EXTRA VOTE offer
makes an effect throughout the
campaign. For example, just thir-
teen one-year subscriptions at $2
each will count 256,000 votes be-
tween now and 12 o'clock tonight.
Two five-year subscriptions and
one four-year subscription will count
1,250,000 votes. By a little fig-
ring you will see that a very few
12 subscriptions will put any
candidate in the lead—or, in fact,
an entirely new candidate with no
votes at all to his credit at this
pure could outdistance all his com-
mitments.
BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY
Now more lins and the course will have been run. Only a short time remains for you to choose between victory and defeat. WHICH SHALL IT BE? Don't overlook a single chance to better your opportunity to win—avail yourself of every single chance these next few closing days.
THE SUBSCRIBER'S PART.
Contestants must necessarily depend upon the assistance of their friends and acquaintances to win or lose. IF YOU have not as yet tied up your subscription, do so at once and help one of the ambitious candidates along. Your subscription will be welcomed and an offer of voluntary assistance will meet with just appreciation on the part of its recipient. You probably intend taking The Amsterdam News, WARNING.
It should be remembered that the last of the BIG VOTES will be discontinued after tonight at 12 o'clock, after which the VERY LOWEST vote offer of the campaign goes into effect. IT IS IMPERATIVE for the candidates to work hard every remaining day if they wish to win.
Attention is again called to that part of the rules and regulations which says that should any candidate become INACTIVE, failing to make a regular weekly cash report, he or she will thereby forfeit all rights to a prize or a cash commission. There is no cause for misunderstanding this rule and it will be strictly enforced. There are some candidates whose names appear in the standings of the contestants who are apparently taking no active part in their own behalf and are depend on solely on the efforts of their friends. Therefore, in accordance with the rules of the competition, all candidates who fall to make a cash report each week will be considered as having given notice of their withdrawal and their names will be forthwith dropped from the list.
The gospel of plenty of sunshine for everybody, especially for children and most especially for babies, is being reached widely, and the Federal Children's Bureau has built a model which shows at the same low sunshine can be given to children for the prevention and care of tickets. This model will be used for use at child welfare conference exhibits on application to the Federal Children's Bureau, Washington, D.C.
THE WEEKLY NEWS
Mrs. Julian Trotman
Campaign Notes
The nomination blank and first subscription coupon are omitted from this issue. However, any candidate nominating herself will be credited with the 105,000 votes which would be carried by those coupons.
We stand corrected for failing to show proper amount of votes for Miss Ada Adams in last week's issue. By a typographical error she was short a million votes.
William H. Booth put in another big boost for his vote score, as may be seen in his vote standing.
Mrs. Lottie V. Hammond is bringing in the votes in big bunches. We are pleased to print her, picture this week, and add she is one of the most active candidates in the campaign.
Miss Maud Gary is making things hum and we understand she has not shown her full strength as yet.
John L. Irving has added a fine lot of votes to his score during

the week, and promises that there will be many more.
Mrs. Ollie Mae Isom is getting everything there is in her territory. There will be nothing left to fight for after she has finished canvassing.
D. R. Keese has passed his million and is going strong after a few more million.
Leland McKinney added a fine lot of votes last week. We understand there will be many more before the next count comes out.
Mrs. Lucy Norton has not wasted a minute in her vote getting. You can see how her count is growing.
Mrs. Helen B. Renix is also getting quite busy. No time to be lost now.
Little Josephine Tanner certainly has some good supporters. Her vote score stays right up among the leaders.
Mrs. Julian Trotman is not to be left behind. Her vote score grows steadily and she will be there when the final count is made.
The Campaign Manager has been quite pressed for time this week and is unable to say as much as he has in mind about all of you. However, do not feel that you have been overlooked, and if there is anything he can do to help you boost your campaign, call on him. Bearing in mind, of course, that the Campaign Manager must be absolutely neutral and cannot answer questions which may be detrimental to any candidates.
This vote count was made Sunday, April 17. Votes received later will not show. However, each of you has his receipts as issued by the Campaign Manager. These receipts show your exact votes as they are and will be credited in the final count.

While serving at Varick he paid $5,000 on the church mortgage, and is the first pastor of this church to remain over one year up to 1920. When Dr. Oliver came here as pastor Rush Memorial was undergoing a period of transition. It was the most vital in its history. The Rev. J. H. McMullen brought the church, then known as little Zion, from East 117th street to its present home at 58 West 132nd street. Dr. McMullen built the present office. Dr. McMullen was succeeded by the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooks, who remained for seven years as pastor. Dr. Oliver followed the Rev. N. W. Crooks. The improvements made under his regime have been the enlarging of the pulpit, fitting up of the pastor's study, the enlarging of the choir loft, a new chapel and dining room, ladies and gentlemen's room, and the installation of a sanitary drinking fountain fitted in at a cost of $200.

two bishops. Several candidates have already announced their intention to run for this office, which is the highest in the gift of the church. Among the candidates for elevation to the bishopric is the Rev. Dr. G. Melville Oliver, who for the past six years has been pastor of Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. Oliver has made one of the outstanding records in the church, and is regarded as one of the ablest churchmen of the connection.
The success attained by him since coming to Kush has placed him in the forefront of pro-
ing $25,000 towards the improvement of the church, and $15,000 towards the floating debt, making a total of $40,000. The present membership of the church is over 700, 450 of that number having been added to the church under his administration. Last year Dr. Oliver was invited to deliver the annual address before the Hood and Garrison Literary Societies of Livingstone College, which is one of the highest honors that come to the men of the church. Doors in Washington, D.C., he was reared in Philadelphia. He joined the Wesly A. M. E. Church in Philadelphia when a young man, and was active in the work of the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor. His ministerial career began when he was 18 years of age.
While in Philadelphia he completed a post-graduate course at Temple University, and since being in New York has studied at Columbia University. During his ministry he has built, remodeled and renovated five churches. One of his most successful pastorates was in Washington, D. C., where he served for six years.

Salem M. E. Church
Easter's message at Salem M. E. Church was in music, oratory and beautiful decorations. Dr. P. A. Cullen, pastor, preached from St. Luke 742. "They found the stone door" and "Resurrection means service and sacrifice," he declared. In the course of his sermon Dr. Cullen described his visit to the tomb of Christ and Golgotha's hill this past summer.
At 3:30 the Men's Bible Class qualified the Easter lesson. The Sunday school had special exercises, in which all the departments united.
The Easter program of the Lyceum at four o'clock was an expression that made for a better appreciation of the day. The Rev. M. M. McCoy, based on the "Power of the Resurrection." The Lyceum choral, with L. F. Duvall director, was heard in several Easter selections. Miss Olive ropkins sang the principal solo parts. Other soloists were Mesdames M. M. Smith and Smith Drayton and An Ender poem was relied by little Miss Claudia Mae Jackson.
There was no preaching at the evening service. The entire time was given over to Professor Grant and the choir for their Easter musical. Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson and others of the Floral Circle were responsible for the beautiful decorations.
Mother Zion Church
Dr. Brown preached the Easter sermon in the main auditorium of Mother Zion Church, using as his subject "The Joyous Message of The Rev. A. Price, an assistant pastor of the lecture room. The church was beautifully decorated by the Floral Committee; Mrs. Marie Forester, president.
The J. C. Price Lyceum met at 6 p.m. the sermon was under the direction of Mr. Holt, who united with the church during the day. The annual corporation meeting was held on Monday evening. The trustees made their annual report for the year ending March 21. Messrs. Sadsden, Foster and Fittler, Sadsden, Foster and trustees; Lambdon, church clerk; and Lockette, financial secretary.

Moors From Africa Gave Spain Its Finest Civilization
LEAVING Rabat one travels northward through Spanish Morocco to reach the Mediterranean, thence by sea to Gibraltar, passing through the town of Tangier, home of the famous Tangier orange.
To me the Moors have proved a most fascinating study, but I fear I have said quite enough already about them. This much might be said, however, they seem much better off under French rule. Spanish Morocco is behind French Morocco in development. Spain, which once was what Britain was prior to the last war, is really a dying nation. Sooner or later these
Darker Races of World Living Here Share Each Other's Problems
MANY writers, white and Negro, have moved the spirits of thousands of black folk by their praise, in various narratives, of the wealth and comfort of the Harlem Negro. All of them, black as well as white, have failed utterly to present the most important, and at the same time the most significant, aspect of the life of the Harlem Negro of today. Here is a city which is playing the role which shall in the future decide the destiny of the colored races all over the world.
This influence may be divided into four distinct phases, according to their importance in the life of the Negro: Biologic or to be more specific, ethnic, which deals with the racial distribution of the population; political, that which deals with the discussion of racial programs and policies in the larger national and international sense; spiritual, that which deals with and treats of the play of the various minds of the Negro world, tending to free and to clarify the basic thinking of the leaders and of the masses through discussion of the problems which confront the group, and educational, the collecting of the achievements and general contributions into a great racial storehouse of culture.
The present subject of discussion has the highest precedent in the history and development of the white race. Not only has it precedent in the progress of the white race, but in the struggling Asiatic peoples as well. It will be recalled that it was the great struggle between the King and the Parliament in England which inspired the fight for freedom among the whites of the European continent during the seventeenth century; and the success of the American Revolution, in the eighteenth century, was primarily based upon the downfall of the Bourbon princes in France.
Again, the triumph of the arms of the Japanese nation at the battle of Muckden and at Port Arthur broke the charm and spell which a white face held over the Asiatic mind and caused the seeds to be sown which have, since the famous campaigns in Russia, disturbed the balance of the whites which control the millions of colored people in India, China and other sections of Asia.
Harlem is populated by Negroes from all over the world: From the banks of the River Niger, the slopes of the Fashada Mountains in the Soudan, the steppes of the Abyssinian country, the banks of the Nile River in Egypt, the diamond fields in South Africa, the warlike tribes of West Africa and the Ivory Coast, the goat-paths of Morocco and Algeria, the farms and plantations of the West Indies, South and Central America, and the various places throughout the Old and the New World. Each has come and laid his blood and his culture—whatever

Bu EDGAR M. GREY
this might be——at the feet of the great tribe of North American Negroes, whose struggles for racial advancement have served to keep the question of the equal-
Edgar M. Grey
ity of the black races always before the white races.
Here in Harlem, West Indian and East Indian women and men join in matrimony with the sons and daughters of Frederick Douglass. Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman and Booker Washington. The hold warriors from the West and Central Africa, whose traditions have come to us through the blood of the West Indian Negro, are here in Harlem drinking deep of the ideas of freedom of the native American.
The churches of Harlem carry on their membership rolls 900 persons of African birth and more than 600 persons of Asiatic origin. The Catholic Church alone—seven of them in the Harlem district—numbers more than 2,600 persons of Negro blood, whose language, French and Spanish, would indicate that they are of foreign birth.
Marriages occur daily between these divergent black peoples and the native American. The faces of the newly born children bear the group expression of the Chinese, East Indian, Northern and Central African, and others. The future Harlem Negro is now in the making—the new racial idea is, for the first time, undergoing experiment; for, in the same way that the racial esthetic ideals of Western Europe were nurtured and cultured to approximate the Ancient Greek type, so will the Negro peoples of the future seek to produce the Harlem type.
The politically sound ideas of modern government are being inculcated in the various foreign groups of colored people living in Harlem. By listening to the arguments of race freedom made by the American Negro in the open court of public justice, the West Indian, the African and the Asiatic have been inspired to attempt the rehabilitation of their homelands, and the native American is being influenced in his thinking by the currents of debate which the non-natives release in their national politeness.
The members of the Union Patriotic of Hayti, the various groups from Latin America, Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico and Cuba join with the Communists from the West Indies and South America, the Nationalists from West Africa and the West Indies in discussing policies for the future advancement of the darker races. Out of these discussions grew the great "back to Africa" movement. Out of them grew the New Pan-African movement and

Tanieler is an international town, perhaps the only one of its kind in the world. There is a big difference between its appearance and the towns under Spanish rule. Just as there is between Gibraltar and the neighboring Spanish towns.
Gibraltar, as one nears it from the African cosat, is an unforgettable sight. A great gray mass, cone-shaped, rearing itself fifteen hundred feet above the azure waters of the Mediterranean. Seen from the Spanish side it is even more striking, rising sheer in its grandeur on that side and resembling a couchant lion—the British lion facing Spain. This latter view of the Rock is the one most often seen in pictures.
This mountain of rock evidently pushed up by volcanic action, was thought by the Ancients to have been placed there by their god, or gods, to mark the boundaries of the habitable world. Even Columbus was thought out of its mind when he sailed westward of it. On seeing the Rock itself one can well understand the power its presence wielded in an ance perhaps more superstitious than ours, in toto. Historically, Gibraltar is no
the granting of citizenship to the Virgin Islanders. The backbone of the fight against lynching and other American barbarities is to be found in Harlem. The desire to send men to the State and national legislatures is more openly discussed, if more seldom attained, in Harlem. The entire political education of the black world appears to center here.
The spiritual influence of Harlem upon the world of Negroes may be found in the contacts from which spring racial ideals. All Negroes lay common claim to the heroes of the race. Fred Douglass, the greatest statesman produced by Negro Americans, is known and revered by West Indian, African, Chinese, Hindoo, Spanish Negro and Filipino. The names of Ghandi, Cheng, Maceo, Ricaido, Barbosn, Reeves, the Josephs, Toussaint and other heroes of the foreign element are bywords with the native Americans.
Out of this raising of the soul, as it were; out of this commingling of each race's gods have come a stimulation of spirit.
The educational influences of Negro Harlem upon the world of colored peoples may he found in the number of educational institutions and projects which are developed and supported by it. Primarily, the culture of the native American takes precedence and dominates that of Negroes from other places. This is so because he has lived nearer to the white man than has any other of the racial groups. He has collected the facts of his group in the United States, mainly, but also in all parts of the world; he has fostered a press, a pulpill, and such other instruments for education and propaganda as were in his judgment necessary

IN THE first place, if you want to commit suicide, don't jump out of a first story window. Go up and drop yourself gently from the tenth floor. If you jump out of the first floor window, there will be a sneaky suspicion that you were not so much looking for suicide as for sympathy—and you are not likely to get either. There is no use in anybody's bungling the suicide job nowadays: there are plenty of convenient places—cliffs, high bridges and towers.
One who has the money to pay his fare, could come to New York City and step off the Woolworth tower. There is always a waiting audience gathered in the City Hall Square nearby, so that the publicity part of the affair would be all prearranged for, as it were. And all the New York papers would give first page publicity to such an event, especially if it were enamed from the top of this five-and-ten tower.

less unique—a symbol in centuries now gone of the black man's might, as well as perhaps the most fought over spot of land on earth. In 711 A. D. Jebel-Tarlik, great Moorish leader, sighing, perhaps, like Alexander "for other worlds to conquer," crossed the Straits with his army, took possession of the Rock, built a castle on it, which stands to this day, and used it as base of activities against the Spaniards, then largely a fair-haired Germanic race, the Goths.
In a great battle at Andalusia he finally defeated Roderick, King of the Goths, and became master of Spain. Thereafter the Mores held Spain for 748 years, giving it, according to Buckle, Draper, Nietzsche and others, the finest civilization Spain ever had. The word Gibbaltar itself is a corruption of Jebel-Tarik.
The next great struggle for the Rock ensued between England and Spain, the latter aided by France. Ownership of it meant not only mastery of the Mediterranean, but of Europe. Once for three years (1779-1782) the combined forces of France and Spain besieged it in vain. And as one looks on the blackened holes, tier on tier, hundreds

He has studied the sources of race prejudice and given to the black world the facts of his diligent researches.
Wherever there are Negroes in the world they look to Harlem, as the Anglo-Saxon world looks to England, for methods to be followed in education and propaganda. Here come his writers, poets, musicians and artists. Here the black girl and boy of talent find a market for their genius and an ear for their thoughts and visions. Harlem, being situated within the boundaries of the largest city on earth, provides close contact and wide opportunity for the attainment of education. High schools, public schools, colleges, universities, every kind of educational institution, are but a stone's throw from the Black City.
Thousands of students from all sections of the world come to Harlem to live to seek local color, to contrast the theories of books with facts.
The polemical character of the population insures anyone from anywhere an argument on any theme, but especially upon the eternal problem of Negroes—a solution of the race question. Speakers, white and black, claiming to be specialists on the subject, are to be heard each day.
The press of Harlem, the pulpit of Harlem, the schools and forums, the art of Harlem, stamp themselves indelibly on the memory of the population of the Negro world as the great melting pot of the race, the seat of race development and race culture.

of feet above, on the face of the Rock, from which hidden cannon spouted death, one can well understand how they failed. The surrounding country is bare and, as at Thermopylae, six men could hold it against a thousand.
The cannon, all now obsolete, are in their places and, aided by a guide, one may stumble his way through the dark galleries to see them. In their place on the top of the Rock are now huge modern guns.
But with the advent of the airship and the submarine the strength and significance of the Rock as a fort is largely romance. Its chief use is as a base from which ships may be sent and supplies poured readily in the direction of Africa and the Orient. The harbor swarms with war craft of all sizes.
The town—for it has thousands of homes nestling on the western side of the Rock—is under the administration of the British Admiralty. It is a model of cleanliness, being kept with all the order for which sailors are proverbial. There are plenty of fine shops and the streets swarm with humanity.

AFTER
AFTER MARCUS GARVEY-WHAT
U. N. I. A. Founder Called Black John the Baptist
MARCUS GARVEY came to the United States less than ten years ago, unheralded, unfriended, without acquaintance, relationship, or means of livelihood. This Jamaican immigrant was thirty years old, partially educated, and 100 per cent. black. He possessed neither comeliness of appearance nor attractive physical personality.
Judged by external appraisement, there was nothing to distinguish him from thousands of West Indian blacks who flock to our seaport cities. And yet this ungainly youth, by sheer indomitability of will, projected a propaganda and commanded a following, within a brief space of a decade, which made the whole nation mark him and write his speeches in their books. The Garvey Movement seemed to be absurd, grotesque, and bizarre, but the possibilities of its involvement, as well as the ardor of advocacy and the extent and intensity of discipleship engendered by its author and founder, filled the minds of

off the platform right in front of them, and one comes every minutes or two; there is a very high place in the elevated railway up by 110th street.
But even in other cities one need not bungle the job. For example, in St. Louis there is the old Eads bridge and other bridges, and the broad Mississippi flows beneath them. And there are a few buildings in St. Louis higher than one story and perfectly willing to accommodate any person who really wants to shuffle off this mortal coll.
One may go in and bungle a life, bungle a life-work, bungle a business concern—but it certainly is the champion bungler who, with all the splendid opportunities offered, finds it necessary to bungle a suicide attempt.

the sailors and soldiers are off duty. There are also plenty of saloons, full of people, drinking, not near but real beer, and good old English ale at four and eight cents a glass. Regular pre-war Scotch is brazenly advertised for sale in the windows at a price one-tenth of what it is at home, all reminding one of the good old U. S. A. in the year 1917 B. V. D. (Before the Volstead Disaster). Now and then, as well as on the Spanish side, a lady may be seen roping the can.
As to ethnic composition, almost every race under the sun seems to make its home in Gibraltar—English, Spanish, Moroccan, Levantine, Maltese, Turkish, Hindu, Negro. There is also the famous "Rock Scorpion," in whom, there is a strain of almost every race on earth. Needless to say, there is "no color line"; the only restriction, so far as civilian life is concerned, being the size of one's pocketbook.

A personal affront in his adolescent years sent the iron into his soul from which it has never been withdrawn.
Smarting under a keen sense of wrong, his restless, rebellious spirit drove him from country to country and from continent to continent, seeking rest and finding none. His intellectual and moral faculties, though muttered, were wildly active. His mind was swayed first by one wild notion and then by another.
The consciousness gradually grew upon him that he was sent and commissioned to right the wrongs of his race. Suddenly the key-word flashed across his mind. Thenceforth this black John the Baptist, with amazing audacity, proclaimed that the kingdom of Africa was at hand. The King

The assertion often made that Negroes cannot trace back their ancestry over a long period of time is contradicted by a report recently sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, showing that one colored family in Rhode Island can trace unbroken ancestry for about 235 years to about 1692. The record has been recognized by the courts of Rhode Island in a recent case involving inheritance and shows that Mrs. Lucy A. Niles, whose family name was Sambo, is descended from Samuel and Eunice Sambo, who lived in the late 1600's. The family name of Sambo is the only one of record in the

As to climate. Gibraltar is most delightful. It is March, yet the gardens are in full bloom, and, even though the people drink liquor, the majority seem to be in blooming health. Naturally, they have much exercise climbing hills.
Less than a mile away, across a strip of neutral territory, lies Spain, picturesque, with its beguars, its houses of Moorish design, its stone-paved streets, its lotteries in full swing, its abundance of churches, its wine shops filled with peasants, strumming guitars, but backward, nevertheless. In this town, La Linea, is a plaza de toro (bull ring), where lights are held every other Sunday. A much smarter and more progressive town nearby is Algicras, of particular note to Negroes, because it was in the little town hall here that the representatives of the leading Powers of Europe met in 1906 and partitioned Northern Africa.

pent or to change its mind, preparatory to the new order of things now about to be set up, which would solve forever the hitherto insoluble problems involved in Negro blood. The federation of the black members of the human family into a world empire under self-dominion was a bold dream which no mortal had ever dared to dream before. At first Garvey possessed only a vague and visionary conception of the new kingdom. The more he preached, the clearer the vision grew, until he became firmly convinced of its immediate consummation.
The fanatical propagandist is never daunted by practical impossibilities which stand between him and the realization of his ideal. Counting the cost, as well as a cautious conscience, makes cowards of us all. A kindly fatty saves the fanatic from the paralysis of prevision.
Before leaving Jamaica young Garvey launched "The Universal Negro Improvement Association" with the far-reaching ideal of African unity in the background. The prophet soon found himself without honor in his own country. Familiarity breeds unbelief. He could do no mighty works in Jamaica because his fellow countrymen could not believe that anything out of the ordinary could come from one of their own color, elime and degree. He shook the dust of his native island off his feet and sangt other lands in quest of understanding. sympathy, and appreciation of his lofty purpose.
He naturally turned to the United States where are to be found the largest number of transplanted Africans, with the highest average of intelligence and advancement in civilization. When he first presented his scheme to the Afro-American intelligentsia they received him with fey courtesy, cold consideration, and quizzical indifference. What idea could this black, naifedicated Jamaican vagabond have that need engage their serious attention?
Mr. Garvey immediately turned from the wise and president of the race to the humble and uninstructed, who heard him, not only gladly, but rantously.
Garvey arrived in New York at the psychological moment. The European nations were engaged in titanic conflict. America had, so far, stood aside in benevolent aloofness and apologetic neutrality. The Negro caught the sound of such expressions as "the rights of the minority" and "a war for self-determination," and was thrilled by their reverberations. He seized upon the opportunity to upbraid the American conscience with the reproach of moral inconsistency. If democracy is to relieve the minorities oppressed by Germany, why not those oppressed by Georgia? Why spill American blood for oppressed peoples in the Halkan States and ignore like oppression in the Southern States?
He failed to see the moral consistency in condemning atrocities in Turkey which are tolerated in Texas. Why, reprove Germany for regarding an international treaty as a scrap of paper while the United States scraps the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend-

fards, as was said, were faithfuled Goths from Germany, the darkness of the present population being also due to the eight centuries of African rulership. A significant fact apparently refuting the contentions of those who maintain that race-mixing causes degeneracy is the fact that, less than a century after Moorish expulsion, Spain was the world's greatest Power. Under Charles V she ruled all of Western Europe, except the British Isles, from Holland to Gibraltar, in addition to the New World. And, under the Moors, she reached the peak of her artistic culture, as seen in the Alhambra and other buildings today.
The Spanials, from my brief contact with them, I found to be an amiable and courteous people. In my next article I will tell of the beautiful island of Sicily, and of its ancient civilization, in which Africa also played a great part.

oppressed peoples always ask embarrassing questions. The Negro, along with the rest, was conscripted to fight for the freedom of white men in Europe, himself being denied full participation in the benefits of freedom at home.
Harlem was just becoming the great Negro metropolis. The necissities of the war were bringing tens of thousands of Negroes to New York from all parts of the country. Thousands were also attracted from the West Indian islands. Harlem was filled with street preachers and flamboyant orators haranguing the people from morning till night upon racial rights and wrongs. Radical magazines sprang up suddenly whose utterances were calculated to inflame the minds of the people. The West Indians were radical beyond the rest and seemed to be better adepts in mob psychology.
The West Indian Negro in America is a political conduit. Conservative at home, he becomes radical abroad. About this time the Negroes in New York, native and West Indian, were asserting the rights and recounting the wrongs of the race in such severe terms of denunciation as to cause the government much uneasiness. The espionage department kept the more assertive ones under surveillance, suppressed the most outspoken publications and threatened the orators, editors and authors with serious punishment.
In those days Marus Garner arrived in Harlem. The West Indian contingent formed his normal point of attachment with the general situation. He immediately formed friendly affiliation with his fellow islanders, to whom his appeal was more easily persuasive.
He did not join in the trade against the American people and government but shrewdly turned the energy which bitherns had ventured itself in violent protestation into new and constructive channels. He saw that the mind was ready for the sowing of new seed. He thereupon began to unfold the vision of the kingdom of Africa.
First he launched the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which he had projected abortively in his native Jamaica as a practical centre for the commercial development of the dark continent. He next established The Negro World, a weekly journal, as the organ and mouthpiece for the new movement. This journal reached a wide circulation among Negro peoples and covered the gospel according to the way to all lands where the supposed children of Africa were found. Sections were carried in English, French and Spanish. He built "Liberty Hunt" a crude tabernacle, within a coiling capacity of 400 theatrical chairs on every Sunday committee, who addressed overflowing crowds who hung breathless upon his word. The magnetic power of his charm and spell seemed never to wane.

Members of Bethel A. M. E. Church Scored Victory Over Alleged Disgruntled Faction When Supreme Court Vacated Temporary Injunction
By granting an order vacating a temporary injunction on Wednesday afternoon, April 13, Supreme Court Justice Caras well made the members of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Schenectady Avenue and Dean street, of which the Rev. C. P. Cole is the pastor, the victors over a few alleged disgruntled members sought to tie up the building fund of the church. He also said that the disgruntled members who withdrew some money and formed the Union Bethel A. M. E. Church should pay the cost of the action. Attorney Edmard was the attorney for the deceased members. There is over $5,000 in the bank, and this was the prize for which both factions were fighting. The Rev. Mr. Lober is pastor of the Union Bethel Church.
The court decision calls to mind that and that a certain elephant in the old Union Bethel Church angled against the Rev. C. P. Cole when he was sent as pastor of the church in 1925, by the Rev. William H. Heard, a member of the First Episcopal Disciple of the M. E. Church.

The members of the old Union Bethel then took the name of Bethel A. M. E. Church. The Rev. M. Montrose W. Theodore, presiding elder of the Brooklyn District of the New York Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church, when it is alleged is not in good terms with the Rev. C. P. Cole, made a strong right for the admission of this new church at the annual conference which met at the St. John's A. M. E. Church in Brooklyn in 1826, and though he was opposed by Dr. Cole, Bishop Heard decided to admit the former members of old Union Bethel under the name of Union Bethel.

When the members of the new church had formed a religious body they went to the Supreme Court and secured a temporary injunction restraining the members of the older church from using the money which had been put into the bank for a building fund. This fund was started by the Rev Charles E. Wilson, and was added to by the Rev S. H. V. Gumbs, who is now presiding elder of the Manhattan District of this conference.
Former Entertainer to Preach at Brooklyn "Y"
Rev. Ernest A. Lawson, assistant pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church, West 140th street, New York City, will address the public meeting Sunday, April 24, at 4 o'clock. Rev. Lawson for many years was a professional entertainer on the stage, and several years ago deserted that work to enter his new field.
Through the case that came to trial last week, the members of the new church sought to have the temporary injunction set aside and a permanent one issued, but instead the injunction was set aside and all costs are to be paid by the new congregation.
As an assistant pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church he has been able to perform a noteworthy service in his new field. The public is cordially invited to be present as this meeting to hear his message caring upon the life and trials of Christ at this season of the year.
This is not only a victory for the members of the older church but is considered a victory for Dr. Joe and a defeat for Dr. Thornton, who caused the cause of the new member to the annual conference in 1925.
The "Bring a Member" Campaign for the month of April is progressing nicely and new members are being added daily. Those John W. Brown and John W. Wilson Thompson, Irving W. Brown, Sidney Johnson, Robert Curtis, Cyril Jefferies, John Nassy, M. Jackson and John Walston.
Presiding Elder Thornton has had a stormy career while presiding over this district, for not only, it is alleged, has he gained the country of the followers of Dr. Cole. There was such a feeling nagging here, it is said, the majority of the office, and members of the historic Bridge Street A. M. E. Church refused to have him as presiding elder.

On Friday, April 22, at 7.30, all boys who have been to Camp Carlton or who want to go will meet at the Y. M. C. A. Camp pictures will be shown and the campers will tell their experiences for the benefit of the tenderfoot.
Several former officers of the church brought court action seeking to compel the bishop, pastor and officers to let Dr. Thornton function as a presiding elder, but they lost and the brothers, Mr. Woods and Mr. Coles were removed as officers by the bishop.
The parents will have a meeting on Wednesday evening, April 20, at 6 o'clock to plan for the coming season.
The members of the Bethlehem church have been worshiping in the Dunbank Center on Herkimer street near Schenectady avenue for some time, and now that they have control over the money in the bank it is reported that in the future they will erect a new barn on the plot which they own in the Schenectady avenue and Dean street and on which is located the church.

Jamaica Kiwanis Giving Free Milk to Deserving
Poor children, nursing mothers, and aged men of all nationalities literally bathed in milk in South jamaica last Monday when the free milk station of the local Kiwiana Club was opened. The distribution will continue today Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the store at 162-65 South street, corner New York avenue. In charries of captain-Kiwiana Club members, many cans of the precious fluid have been handed out by a heavy of girls from Jamaica. A troop of boy scouts is also on hand to keep the thirsty boys and girls in lye and to assist the aged and feeble. The milk distribution is part of the program for the uplifting of the underprivileged child under taken by Kiwiana and is only a small part of the work undertaken by the Jamaica club.
At 1 P. M. the doors of the milk station are thrown open and the barrage of milk started. The milk is of the best grade, and there is plenty for all. one of the leading milk companies having assigned several of its trucks to cart the feed nourishment to the store.
Aged Grand Army Veteran Buried in Nat'l Cemetery
Funeral services for Paul Fowler, an aged Grand Army veteran, who was found dead in his room at 113 Douglas street, Jamaica, by neighbors last Thursday, where he resided all alone, were scheduled to be held from the time Understake 75th Street, "75" Understake street, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. No preacher had been selected up to noon Monday to de-
liver the enology. Interment was in National Cemetery, Cypress Hills. The deceased was an original Long Islander, born at Smithtown, 90 years ago. He had lived in Jamaica for the past 30 years. He was a Civil War veteran, and no needing to his discharge certificate, which was discovered among his belongings by Henry Potter of 38 Douglas street, himself a Spanish-American and World War veteran, enlisted in the 362nd Artillery, a New Jersey State outfit. in 1862 and was honorably discharged on May 10, 1865. Efforts are being made by Mr. Potter and the Theodore Dade, who had charge of the funeral arrangements, to find a daughter, said to be living somewhere on the Island. Other than the alleged daughter, it is not known whether he has any other living relatives.

"Christ is a Negro for the Negroes, a Jew for the Jews and a Gentle for the Gentiles," said Dr. Dr. Parkes Cadman, president of the Federated Council of Churches, and pastor of the Central Congregational Church, during the course of an afternoon sermon on "Peace" at the Holy Week services held at the Albee Theatre last week. These services were attended by a large number of colored people. Dr. Cadman also emphasized the thought that there is more peace in the city than people who live in the homes of rich people. "The finest homes in the city are on Park avenue, Manhattan, and the happiest homes are on Third avenue, Manhattan, and Fulton street, Brooklyn," said Dr. Cadman.
Thomas Quinn Charged With' Felonious Assault
Thomas Quinn, 49, of 118 Jena-
ette avenue, Inwood, arrived from
North Carolina recently intent on
becoming a minister. His progress
to instruct Inwood people along
his way of thinking did not
gain much headway, according to
his story.
A few were willing to listen to
him, but the largest number
treated him none too friendly, he
said, and thus the officials of the
church were inclined to treat
Quinn merely as a member of their
lock rather than authorize him to
preach. Word reached Quinn that
his efforts to become a preacher
had been interfered with.
But Quinn devoted his spare time to preaching just the same. Among those whom it is said, he tried to convert to his own way of thinking was one William Williams, 89, of 1809 Butler avenue, Far Rockway. Just what Quinn tried to inculcate in the mind of William remains unknown. Anyway, he became so insistent, it was said, that the aspiring clergyman exhibited a revolver in the course of his preaching, according to information furnished the police, and fired at Williams, shooting him in the right hand, last week.
Williams was attended by Ambulance Surgeon Howe of St. Joseph's Hospital. Later he left for home. Quinn was placed under arrest, charged with felonious assault and violation of the Sullivan law.
Residents of Brooklyn Form Civil Rights Union
A number of prominent men and women met in the parish house of St. Augustine's P. E. Church on Saturday evening, April 9, and made arrangements for the organization of a forum.

Mrs. Fayerweather has for years been active in charitable work in Brooklyn.

Mr. Friend chose New York's fastest growing suburb principally through the interest of Mrs. Fannie Lewis, 105-06 Liverpool street, whose son, Chester, married his daughter, Carrie, many years ago back home. Mrs. Fannie Lewis preceded the rest of the family to the Garden Spot of Long Island, establishing her residence here about seven months ago. The newcomers arrived this past Saturday, two weeks ago, and a happy family they appear to be.
When a representative of this publication called at the Liverpool street address last week, the old gentleman was found caressing his little eight-weeks-old great-grandfather, who though he lived the light of day below the Mason-Dixon line, more than likely, if he survives to grow up, will call Jamaica his home, and perusing a copy of Gotham's greatest weekly — the Amsterdam News — evidently exercising keen thought relative to his new surroundings.
To say the least, Mr. Friend looks every bit of 65, but his ideas, activeness, etc., indicated he was well preserved, and had hewed to the teachings of the Golden Rule, such as was taught him in the days of long ago. He was happy, as a robin at the first sign of spring. Little Willie Edwards, whose healthy lungs as if he knew what was going on, After carefully considering our mission, and, apparently a trifle astonished, he called for his granddaughter, Luevennia, to come and take her son, Willie Edward, and then reinclined in his big arm chair as if perfectly at ease, but perhaps a bit superstitious at first. "You know I never met a colored newspaperman before, and bless your soul, I never saw a colored paper in all my years uname North. You know the white one over me. Little town wouldn't let us read nothing, not the white papers from August Savannah and Atlanta. No sigh!"
We assured Mr. Friend, which he was well aware of after his short period here, such was not the case in the North, and that he could read all the papers desired without being molested in any way by white people or any other.
"I'm mighty thankful for that. The good Lord must have sent me here. I can only read just a little, but I see catching on fast. I like the pictures in the papers. Got a lot of mother wit, you know, and with the help of these chillun, I makes out fairly well
"The weather hasn't been so good for me, just coming out of the South, but I see just aching to get out to church. I see believed in the Lord all my life, and I isn't going to throw Him down now just cause I came North. No, sir! Down home we used to hold church in folks' houses, and sometime in the cotton fields, when we were to work on Sunday. That wasn't often, cause us Georgia farmers believed in keeping that day, and nothing stopped us. It was only during the busy season gettin' the cotton ready for market.
At this period it was suggested he was an old man, and there wouldn't be much work he could up here, that the rest of the large family would take care of him.
"No, sir. I swine to work. Nothing wrong with me. Maybe it won't be the cotton fields, cause they tell me folks up here, have gardens, chickens and other things like they have in Georgia. I can do that work fine, and I figures the wages are more. I swine no old man yet. Expest to live until I see 110; yes, sir."
A physical marvel is this aged man, who, with his offspring, have migrated to these parts, as he says, "To start life all over again."
A hearty handshake, an invitation to call again whenever possible sent us on our merry way. As we were off the old gent's eyes filled with tears; the thought, perhaps, had overtaken him that younger members of the household, would have a better chance in life than those torrid days he spent way down in Georgia.

MANNERS
"Does a man dance first with his wife or with his hostess?" asks a puzzled man. Etiquette in large cities is different from that in smaller places. Even circles follow different customs. Husbands and wives look on a social stand as an occasion for greeting old friends and making new ones, not for stalking together. At dinner they stalk together as far as possible, giving both chance to express themselves as individuals, and not as halves of the "never-to-be-divided" whole. At a dance they should both have too many partners to devote themselves to each other. Otherwise, it appears that they do not know many people, or might as well be employed each other's society at home. Married folks go out to see others, not to be together.
But if the pair know few people they naturally dance together. A man should dance with his hostess once or twice during the evening, but the first dance need not be given her. If no one asks his wife for the first dance, naturally he dances it with her.
Your Occupation and the Children
WASHINGTON — Given your age, an insurance man will readily tell how long you may expect to live; and if a married man tells you the occupation he follows, you can almost inform him correctly as to the number of children he has.
Statistics showing the average number of children born and the occupation of the father indicate that in families where the father is employed as a foreman or inspect or of mines, the average number of children born is 4.4. In the families of coal mine operatives and steam railroad foremen, the average is 4.2, followed by furnace men, smeltermen, heaters and pourers, with 4.1; farmers, with 4; bootlocks and janitors, 3.9; fishermen, oystermen, workers in stone quarries and building laborers, 3.8; blacksmiths, coopers, locomotive engineers and molders in foundries, 3.7; shoemakers, stonecutters and laborers for steam or street railroads, 3.6; boiler-washers, engine hostlers and clergygrin. 3.5.
The average drops to 2.3 when you get among the editors and reporters, lawyers, judges, justices, musicians and teachers of music school teachers, photographers physicians and surgeons; but hits the bottom with an average of only 2 when it reaches artists, sculptors and teachers of art, chemists, dentists, draftsmen, inventors.

A. M. E. Extension Board Makes Report
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18
(By: The Associated Negro Press)
—That the injection into church affairs of first-class business methods will produce far-reaching results, both in the world of finance and its consequent extension of the "Kingdom of Christ" was strikingly exemplified here. Last Wednesday when at the annual meeting of the Church Extension Board of the A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. S. J. Johnson is a retary-treasurer, made his report. Probably not in the history of the board, which has the proud record of having saved to the A. M. E. connection twenty-two per cent of the churches it now owns, has so effective a summary been made of the great service being rendered as this one under the administration of Bishop W. D. Johnson and Rev. S. J. Johnson, who as the active executive in charge, led the way in breaking all former records in the collections and big achievements for the church.
The available assets of the department are $713,123.81. Business this year, $114,421.88; cash balance, $24,351.11; liabilities, $6,194.31. The members of the board are: The Revs. H. K. Spearman, New York; A. J. Wilson, North Carolina; Charles Bundy, Ohio; H. W. Jamerson, Illinois; W. C. Wiliams, Missouri; J. L. Burler, Georgia; L. R. Nichols, South Carolina; W. H. Davis, Mississippi; L. V. Starkey, Alabama; M. L. Pedlergay, Texas; S. H. Bets, Florida; E. C. Forman, Arkansas; J. W. Washington, Louisiana; N. B. Moton, Tennessee; W. H. Jones, Michigan; A. E. Hubbard, Oklahoma.

NORFOLK, Va., April 18, Impressive were the funeral services held yesterday for William C. Baker, pioneer underkiller, at St John's A. M. Church. The Rev. O. L. Berry officiated. Mr. Baker had been ill at home, 1354 O'Keefe street, for three months. His loss is mourned by Mrs. Fanny's estrress Baker, and on two daughters of Anne and Rosa Fentress Eaker; Walter F. Baker, brother, and E. B. Smith, sister, and several pieces and nephews. Widow is the sister of Edward M. Fentress, funeral director, 239 West Fifty-third street, New York.

Boy Scout News
By Scout Edward Lev.
Boy Scout Movement
Do you know the history of the Boy Scout Movement? If you do not here it is: The movement was started for the general purpose of training boys in 1822 of officers of self-reliance, manhood, and good citizenship. It was begun in England in 1905 by General Sir Robert S. S. Baden Powell, who was imprinted two years later from that percent of the boys of England were growing up without any knowledge of useful occupations. The idea at once received popular support and the founding of the first society 150,000 Boy Scouts had been enrolled.
In the United States there were at this time two organizations combined under the general title, the Scout of America, one of these organizations, by Ernest Thompson Seton and was called Woodcraft Indians; another was founded by Daniel Carter Beard and was called the Sons of Daniel Boone. On February 8, 1915, the organizations were combined under the laws of the District of Columbia.
The aim of the Boy Scout movement is to promote the ability of boys to do things for themselves and to learn the method of doing this consists of woodcraft-making, merit badges, first aid, signaling, life saving, and many other things. The main subjects of observation, deduction, handiness, nature study, tracking and scouting are each body of Scouts is known as a patrol. Four patrols are combined in a troop. The boy who is leader of this body of Scouts is known as a patrol leader. For each of these patrols there is a member of the Scout influence and who possesses qualities which boys respect.
Before a boy may become a Scout he must take the following Scout oath:
I pledge my honor. I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
My Scout must also take this law: "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrift, brave, clean and reverent."
In the latter part of 1911 and the first part of 1912 Sir Baden-Powell the United States States and lectured on the Boy Scout movement, which now has the help of all religious denominations, social and economic bodies.
At the end of 1913 there were 8,000 Scoutmasters and as many 8,000 Scout members of the approximate membership of the Boy Scouts at that time was 200,000. It is now 7,000,000.
Patrol Leaders
The patrol leaders of all the troops received letters from Manhattan Council, I East 104th street, Friday, relative to registering for camp. The Scouts who are to be appointed camp patrol leaders will have a new emblem this year. All successful patrol leaders at camp will be elected to membership in the Patrol Leaders' Council, which holds meetings in the woods, around the camp, after a tap. There will be discussion entertainments, "feeds", etc. for camp patrol leaders.

"Maternity Annex of Harlem Hospital Needs to Be Enlarged"

The space is limited and the authorities find it impossible to accommodate the increasingly large number of maternity cases arising in the immediate neighborhood. Recently several have been turned away or transferred to other branches of the Bellevue Hospital system.

Rupert Griffith Inspired by Portrayal of Artist's Life on Screen
A. B.
Promising Artist Gets Scholarship
Just a year ago Rupert Griffith went to a theatre and saw a picture of an artist's life and work. By this he was inspired, so he went home and made a few sketches himself. Today he is in the Master institute of United Arts as a result of a scholarship awarded in recognition of his artistic talent in all of the arts. Griffith who lives at 285 West 150th street, came to America three years ago from British Guiana. For two years he earned a livelihood running an elevator. At the same time, however, he was tinkering with some little inventions of his own and patented some improvements in the structure of aeroplanes.
The one-year scholarship, which he received last month, came after he had presented some of his original sketches in oil to the institute. One of them was a portrait of Governor Smith; the other, which attracted the attention of the directors of the institute, was a conception of California. As he had never received to that state, the painter thought to have more than ordinary merit. At the time, all of the usual scholarships had been awarded, but because Griffith's work showed promising originality a special award was made to him.
He expressed his aims as wanting to become an inventor and writer. And now since he has been given the chance to develop another talent, he will add a third-artist to the list. At present he has been painting signs and illustrations. In the day he works as an elevator boy, at night he attends the institute, which is at 310 Riverside drive.
"I will engage myself with painting sceneries and so on," he stated. "until I can get in the line of more creative work."
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1927
Although every possible effort has been exerted by the officials at the Harlem branch, and despite the fact that Dr. John McGrath, president of the board of trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, and his executives are lending full cooperation, according to Dr. Kapp's statement, the needed improvements will be delayed by the routine of sending a complaint to the added burden and the tax base implicated in this process.

Poet Tells of His Beginnings
Langston Hughes Reads Several Poems Before Intercollegiate Club
Langston Hughes, the much discussed young Negro poet, read his poems and told of some of his experiences at a meeting of the Intercollegiate Club, at the Urban League, last Sunday afternoon, and told how he began to write poetry. A large audience was present, many of whom were young writers, poets, artists, musicians and college students. The program was a musical and literary one, in which some of the leading young artists took part. It was arranged by Kortright Lee, the vice-president of Intercollegiate Mrs. Louise Johnson, the president, presided
Among the poems that he read were: "Mah Lord," "The Feet of Jesus," "Hard Luck," "Suicide," "Cross" and "Bad Man." Musical numbers were given by Miss Gertrude Martin, violinist; Miss Jessie Covington, pianist; Harvey Baker, tenor, and J. Mardo Brown, tenor, accompanied by Miss Alice Fraser. The next meeting of the Intercollegiate Club will be on Sunday afternoon, May 1, when there will be the election of officers.
ganizations will commence some concerted expression of Harlem's attitude toward this lack of facilities. Dr. Happ believes, the processes necessary to get the desired appropriation may be greatly cut, and within a short time the Harlem Hospital will be in a position to render service to every potential mother who comes to it.
"If you want efficient service, if you want Harlem Hospital thought of as everyone in the community should think of it," the superintendent asserted, "we must have ample facilities."
"I don't want it put down that I am criticizing. Every degree of co-operation is being offered by those in authority. But it is this red tape I would like to avoid. It is not inadequate facilities, but a lack of facilities that makes our problem."

Is Governor Smith Sincere?
GOVERNOR SMITH. answering Charles C. Marshall's open letter, which appeared in the April Atlantic Monthly, has just made a wonderful profession of his religious and political faith. But who believes that he is sincere in the statements he makes? Certainly not the Negro, who has now had a splendid opportunity to compare Governor Smith's utterances with his acts.
IT IS ALL RIGHT for him to "believe in the worship of God according to the faith and practice of the Roman Catholic Church," and we make no criticism of him on that score. We question, though, his sincerity when he states that he believes in absolute "freedom before the law as a matter of right and not as a matter of favor": we do not give credence to his belief in the "common brotherhood of man under the common fatherhood of God," unless, of course, his credo takes no cognizance of the thousands of Negroes in his State.
IT IS BUT a short time ago that Governor Smith refused to let the Dempsey-Wills fight be held in New York State. It is only a few days ago that he vetoed, for the third time, a bill to relieve congestion in a municipal court district, ostensibly because it might make possible the election of a Negro to the bench. He believes in public schools, but he, seemingly, does not believe in an equal opportunity for the graduates of these schools, even when they pass civil service examinations. He has consistently refused to appoint Negroes to public office, no matter what their qualifications for the office sought.
AT THAT, Governor Smith's reply to Mr. Marshall brings him a little nearer his life-long ambition — the Democratic nomination for President of the United States; an ambition which has caused him several times recently to humble himself to the South in the hope that this infamous section of the country might forget his religion and support him in the next election.
NEWSPAPERS last week made a considerable to-do over the fact that Chief Adjankoeso of Dutch Guiana, was ten years late in congratulating the Secretary General of the League of Nations on the termination of the World War. Far from being late, the chief may be ahead of time, for it is pretty difficult to tell whether the World War is over, what with war going on nearly all over the world.
URGING that the Negro be regarded not as a menace or problem, but rather as a challenge to American democracy and Christianity, Dr. J. E. Gregg, president of Hampton Institute, added that
EDITORIAL PAGE
"if our democracy and our Christianity are not equal to this challenge, then they are not what we think they are."
Gratitude a Crime?
BECAUSE Negroes, holding the balance of power, elected William Hale Thompson, Republican, mayor of Chicago over William E. Dever, Democrat. the New York Evening Post says the election "is little short of a national as well as a local disgrace. It is as if John Faithful Hylan had 'come back' in New York, and, by the same token, it is a hint that even that calamity is not impossible." The editor also adds that:
The Negro majority of 25,000 votes, had it come to Dever instead of to Thompson, would have turned the election. The Negroes were brought to Chicago during the war, were welcomed by Thompson, were given the organized vice privileges and are bound to Thompson, body and soul. Chicago, like Indianapolis and other Northern cities, is learning what Negro control means and why the South has kept these voters from the ballot box. May the day never come when Harlem runs New York.
IT IS PROBABLE that Mayor Hylan received a larger number of Negro votes than any other Democratic mayor before or since, so the Post editor might have added that he, too, gave vice privileges to Negroes in exchange for their support, which, like many of the statements already made, reek with prejudice and smell of Ku Klux Klan inspiration. Vice flourished under Hylan, yes, but not to any less extent than it is flourishing today under Mayor Walker, whom fewer Negroes supported than supported Hylan.
THOMPSON, the Republican, is a wet; but not any more so than Al Smith, the Democrat. Chicago politics is corrupt; but not any more so than Tammany Hall politics. WHAT the Post editor resents, since that paper is now firmly in the hands of conscienceless capitalists, is the fact that Negroes have the ballot at all; and, having it, why they refuse to let others than themselves decide for whom they should vote.
And would not such action provoke the resentment of any group of citizens no matter what color? Is it not true, furthermore, that Mayor Dever ignored the colored citizens in the matter of appointments to office and in other ways? "IF THE Negroes 'were brought to Chicago during the war,' as you intimate, it was to do the work needed while this country was at war and European immigration was temporarily stopped; and if Mayor Thompson 'welcomed' them, that is surely not to his discredit, and it is surely not calculated to make the people he welcomed vote against him."
IN CHICAGO, under Thompson's administration, and in New York City, under Hylan's administration. Negroes who had supported them did not have the door closed in their faces when they applied or were recommended for positions, or when they insisted that they be treated as citizens and men, and remembered these things when Hylan ran for mayor the second time, and when, a few days ago, they turned out en masse for Thompson. Since when has gratitude become a crime?

The Odd Case of Snowball
Consider the workings of the law in the case Snowball Harris. Snowball, as his name implies, is about the color of a licorice drop. For some past he has been employed by Mr. Paul Whittle as a banjo player and dancer, and he has very great talent. But, unfortunately, Snowball has to be just ten years old. And while his father on hand to see that he lives a moral life in great metropolis, the law stepped in and said Snowball would have to go back to St. Louis, he came from. And Mr. Whiteman, who says he thought Snowball a little older than ten, an able to pay Snowball's fare, and presently he will on his way.
The theory of such procedure, obviously, is Snowball should be given a chance to secure education before being put to work. But in particular seem to have got twisted around back Snowball, supposing he obtains an education that he follows an occupation for which his education look forward to about $37.50 a week. Mr. White was paying him $100, and there was apparently between matines for arithmetic. Has the law a done right by our Snowball?

And while his father is on hand to see that he lives a moral life in our great metropolis, the law stepped in and said that Snowball would have to go back to St. Louis, where he came from. And Mr. Whiteman, who says that he thought Snowball a little older than ten, agreed to pay Snowball's fare, and presently he will be on his way.
The theory of such procedure, obviously, is that Snowball should be given a chance to secure an education before being put to work. But in practice things seem to have got twisted around backward. Snowball, supposing he obtains an education, and that he follows an occupation for which his education qualifies him to be a worker in the industrial, can be told to buy $3716 a week, and was paying him $100, and there was apparently time between mattresses for arithmetic. Has the law really done right by our Snowball?

Dr. Butler's Virginia Orations
WHETHER conscious or not of the significance of his words and sentiments to the dark tenth part of America's population, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, in his address last Wednesday at the University of Virginia, said enough in two tense paragraphs to cause not only Virginia, but the entire group of Southern statesmen and the whole Negro people of America, to consider again and again that "pet" theory that the "tail should wag the dog" or that each State of the South should become an absolute State monarchy. Dr. Butler said: "Only if the people of America, make their distinct institutions" EPICIENT can this happen. "APPLICANT can then the ABSOLUTE STATE as the best basis of government and life, with the consequent loss of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES."
Further, Dr. Butler stated: "The moment the State becomes absolute, somebody must be absolute. We have gotten through with monarchies; we have gotten through with the tyrannies of majorities. And if we are to resist, in our democracy, in its perpetuation, enrichment and development—if we are to resist the return of the doctrine of the absolute state under the guise of efficiency, we can only do it by making ourselves, our democracy, as efficient while retaining our civil and individual liberty." Thus spoke Dr. Butler in the heart of Virginia, awowed one of the "capitals" of absolute State sovereignty.
This column does not wish to impose upon its readers too many recollections of phases of State rights; yet, we say, earnestly, that, the doctrine of State's rights, of absolute State sovereignty, and of the "tyrannies of majorities" is the greatest menace which the Negro is today facing in America. The suppression of individual liberty grows out of State sovereignty. Look at educational facilities, police protection, health utilities, the bulbous transportation, business as well as services of Negro life and will you see that, due to municipal ordinances and State legislation, absolute citizenship to the Negro is largely enriched by the State.
The dual citizenship of everyone in the two democratic sovereignates—the United States and the State in which residence is claimed or asserted—is proving to be more than a technical closure for the Negro. It is a civic utility which needs to be brought out into the sunlight of Liberty. Is not the whole greater than any of its parts? If States continue to resist the parenthood of the United States they may continue to resist their association, each with the other. And this is just what is happening where State's rights reign supreme. Buturber theory of Government must mean much to the Negroes of America. His Virginia address should be made the subject of a special lecture in every school and university in the United States, white, colored and mixed.
China
(A Contributed Editorial.)

meaning of this great struggle? What are they fighting about?
Briefly, I will answer him, for it is a simple story, and as old as man himself.
"Justice," said Plato, "is not the right of the stronger--but the effective harmony of the whole." injustice has been thrust upon the Chinese people; their liberty has been curtitled; Jim Crow practices simple justice; the South have been set up; and almost every nation has been resorted to which would place the Chinese in a hostile hawry. Greedy Nordics from Europe and America have sucked Chinese blood. In their surreptitious manner they have made an attempt to promulgate the same practices on the Chinese which they use so successfully on the American Negro.
"War must cease" is the incessant cry of the "superior," greedy Nordic. Justice is his watchword: injustice is his weapon. In the spirit of Christianity he attempts to rob the Chinese. He crushes the weak at home; abroad, greed is his motive. He sticks red-hot irons into the flesh of pregnant Negro women, glorifies it, and calls it a sport. In the meantime he fills his paper with "Chinese atrocities" when a stray bullet lands a dollar-seeking American "Cracker." He sends his missionaries to teach the Chinese "the way of life" while he remains at home and breaks the necks of Negro women. The thought of an American teaching anyone how to live is a joke, a delectable joke. Why not send a few hundred missionaries to Yazoo County, Mississippi, home of Vardaman, to tell them to give Negroes their freedom.
Blessed be the Chinese in their fight for the most prized possession—liberty. Liberty comes to those who are willing to do and die. Wait for your freedom and you will die a slave. Blood must be cast. This method is not the best or ideal way—but at present it is the order of phenomena, and the order must be obeyed. This is the lesson of experience—history—pathetic, nevertheless true. Socrates, the wisest man of Athens, drank the hemlock for liberty; Jesus, one of the greatest personalities of time, went to the Cross in her name; and all great principles useful for the life of man have been perpetuated in the name of blood.

Faulty Food
MODERN civilization has caused both happiness and misery. These are the days of big, crowded cities, and to feed these many thousands and millions of people requires special preparation, preservation and storage of foods
NOWADAYS we are so thoroughly familiar with the appearance of grandma's gold-howled "glasses," mother's "eyeglasses" and the tortoise-shell spectacles which father wears to business that we find it hard to realize that there was a time not only when there was not a different kind of glasses for every member of the family, but when there were no glasses at all.
The details of these early days are very hazy. Because there were no books or papers, stories of what was happening were often passed on from one to another by word of mouth, and we have no way of knowing the changes which may have taken place in this constant telling and retelling.
So far as we know, however, the Phoenicians were the first to discover a way to make glass. And that discovery took place in the delightfully casual manner which characterizes all prehistoric discoveries.
Some Phoenician mariners built a fire on the sands of the River Belus in Gallilee to cook their supper. As the fire burned they noticed that the ashes of the herb kall, which grew abundantly about the place, mingled with the sand and the two melted and ran together into a clear substance. They called it glass. Knowing in those days travelled slowly, but spread. First to Egypt, then to Rome with the conquering Romans, who made the first plate glass.
Up to this time no record has been found of glass being used to correct the sight, but there is considerable evidence that it was used by the Chinese at a very early period. They knew things that we are just beginning to think of—of theirs is the most ancient of all civilizations. But they succeeded excellently in keeping their knowledge to themselves.
Not until the end of the thirteenth century has any authentic record been found of glasses for the improvement of vision. Then the famous philosopher, Roger Bacon, in 1257, spoke of glasses which causes small letters to appear large. In all probability credit for the invention of glasses belongs to an Italian, on whose tombstone this inscription may still be read: "Here lies Salvino d'Amati of Florence, the inventor of spectacles. God forgive him his sins. Died in the year 1307." Whether the invention of spectacles is classed as one of his sins is not entirely clear; but whatever may have been the attitude of his own day, his discovery is now known to be the means of bringing health and sight and happiness to millions of people all over the world.
Also in the dictionary of the Academy of Florence, under "Spectacles," was the following: "Rivalo, a monk of Pisa, in a sermon, made this statement: 'It is 20 years since the act of making, one of the most useful arts, was discovered. I myself have seen and conversed with the man who first made them.' However, it was not until 1896 that our knowledge of the eye was established on a scientific basis. A German professor of mathematics wrote a description of the eye and declared that the correction of optical defects must be on an optical basis. From this time on the use of glasses spread slowly throughout Europe, but mainly among the highest classes, for even at the end of the sixteenth century, the price of a pair of glasses was equivalent to $40 to $50.
Because of the superstition of the times, the masses regarded glasses as devices of the devil. Even the clergy tried to suppress the doctoring of eyes with glasses as a deliberate interference with God's purpose of afflicting the aged. Glasses at first were made to aid falling sight due to old age. Later came the glasses for the correction of near-sightness—a true advance. The so-called bifocal glasses, where one frame contains two glasses, the upper frame dance and the lower for reading. By Benjamin Franklin in 1758. Since Franklin's time there have been many changes and the development slow, but today America, not Europe, leads in the production of glasses.
Spectacles
Very few of the common foods come to us in the natural state. Grains have been robbed of a great part of their mineral and vitamin value; this is noticed in the preparation of flour, breakfast oatmeal, cereals and rice. The sterilization and pasteurization of milk has changed its chemical make-up; the peelings of many fruits and vegetables are discarded in these modern days and thus much of their mineral value is lost; the only sugar we modern eat is the pure white sugar; no other does our modern taste require, and yet the unrefined brown sugar is of the greatest quality. It is the salt through its process of refinement, has been deprived of iodine, calcium and other natural chemicals which are so essential for a proper diet.
Milk may be lacking in many mineral ingredients if the cow is fed upon foods grown upon unsuitable soil. Meat also is deficient if the animal was fed with improper provender. There are, therefore, many agencies that contribute to the production of faulty food—food deficient in mineral, chemical and vitamin constituents. Any deficiency in foods of the mineral, chemical and vitamin contents will, if eaten over a continued period of time, produce abnormal metabolism.
The results of improper metabolism is the production of disease. Common diseases of this nature are gout, rickets, scurvy, berber-herb, pellagra. Experimental diseases have been produced in monkeys by feeding them faulty food, food deficient in vitamin A, food rich in the oxides of starch or fats was added. The diseases, which resulted from this experiment, were diarrhoea, dysentery, dyspepsia, gastric and intestinal ulcer.
It is necessary, therefore, for people in these modern days to consider more the kind of food that is to be eaten each day. More nuts, raw tomatoes, fruits, unpolished rice, greens, such as watercress, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, fresh vegetables. Such must be eaten to deficiency in mineral chemical and vitamin content of many of the other foods coming to us as our daily diet.
