CAMPAIGN CLOSES SAT. SEALED BALLOT BOX ALONE CAN TELL BIG PRIZE WINNERS Candidates, Aroused to High Pitch of Enthusiasm, Appeal to Friends for Last Minute Support to Clinch Victory SATURDAY night at twelve o'clock sharp will mark the close of the greatest prize offer ever offered by a weekly paper. The judges will, on the stroke of twelve, begin the count which will declare the winners in the greatest event of the year. BALLOT BOX Monday morning there was placed in the Campaign Manager's office a sealed ballot box, in which all subscriptions and money will be placed during the last week of the campaign. No one but the candidate himself will know what he places in this box. This insures absolute fairness to all candidates. The Campaign Manager himself is wondering what story this ballot box will tell, as from his records, which closed Saturday midnight, there is so very little difference between the leading candidates. A few good subscriptions will make a winner or loser for the first prize, which, as you know, is a $1,724 Nash Sedan. There is not a minute to lose in this most crucial period. What you do between now and Saturday night, twelve o'clock midnight, will tell the story. PRIZES WAITING All prizes have been provided for, and as soon as the judges make the final count you may call for them — and let us say at this time that we have not gone into this campaign as a money-making proposition. Our object in offering these very valuable prizes was to increase our subscription list, which you have so far done in a most gratifying manner. There has been no manipulation by the employment of professional campaign managers, in order to swell the proceeds in this prize distribution. We have acted as our own Campaign Manager and have conducted this campaign according to our own ideas of fairness to all parties interested. Where professional talent is employed, the object of the Campaign Manager is, "Get the money, regardless." After the campaign closes the Manager usually takes the train for parts unknown. Not so with this campaign — the Campaign Manager will not only be here when the campaign closes, but in six months or a year he will still be here to face the music. We are not surrounding this campaign with an air of mystery. The party having the most votes will win first prize, and others, in proportion — and we want, candidate, of you, to feel and know that we have no favorites. TIME TO HURRY You will have just three days from this date to make yourself a winner or loser. The entire race is in your hands. We do not know what you will do. Only the judges can decide this, and what is found in the sealed ballot box will govern the decision of the judges. We only wish it were possible to award a first prize to each of you hastlers — but there is only one first prize, a S1,724 Nash Automobile — worth fighting for? Ask yourself this question and then make your own decision. One thing we do know. Some one is going to ride around in a Brand New Nash Special Six, 240, next Sunday. Will you be riding in the Big One? It's up to you. Right now is the time to send an SOS to all your (Continued on Page 12) New York to Hear Fisk President Dr. Jones and Famous Octette to Appear on The citizens of New York City will have an unusual opportunity to hear the internationally famed Risk University Orette and Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, president of the university, at Abyssinian Baptist Church on May 15 at 3 p.m. for Jones, newly inaugurated head of the noted school, is making a tour in the interest of higher education for Negroes and may be expected to outline his plans and dreams for the future of the institution he represents.

Many close observers believe this to be indicative of a new era of development and service at Fish University and in education for colored people. Undoubtedly Dr. Jones and the octette will be greeted by a large audience interested in the latest developments and the future outlook for education of the colored race. The meeting is being sponsored by an alumni committee, of which Mrs. Finah Rochon Boutte is chairman, and the other members are: Robert Elzy, Dr R. H. Pruden, Dr. Lloyd Jones, Mrs. Dix, Miss Pennybacker, and Mrs. E. R. Alexander.

BOSTON, May 2.—The wedding of Miss Edith May Alexander, white, to Ambrose Gomes Rodreques at the Holy Apostolic Temple, by Bishop Julius E. Harris, Friday afternoon, was an unusual and colorful affair. The ceremony was performed much after the manner of the religious cult's mode of worship. The sect, known as "Holy Jumpers," of which they are members, composed of white and colored people, turned out en masse to add spiritual blessings to the newlyweds, who married amid the hilarious music of guitars, tambourines, and piano. Mrs. Rodreques, 26, who lived at 59 Hammond street, employee at a Boston shoe factory, was haled into court earlier in the week by her parents charged with being an incorrigible child, in that she refused to heed their protestations against her marrying Rodreques, who is colored and a Cape Verde islander. The judge, however, dismissed the case, commenting sharply that a woman of her age was capable of choosing her mate. Gasoline, Thrown on Husband, Ignited Jarvis Bowman, 33, was taken Thursday in a critical condition to Harlem Hospital and his wife, Lucille, 32, was held on a charge of felonious assault as the result of a gasoline throwing episode in their apartment at 14 East 132d street. According to Mrs. Bowman, her husband attempted to strike her with a chair and she retaliated by throwing a bottle of gasoline. A portion of the bottle's contents saturated Bowman's head and shoulders, while some of the gasoline fell on the stove. Instantly there was a flash and Bowman ran from the apartment with his clothing ablaze. Neighbors extinguished the flames after he had been severely burned and the fire department was called to put out the fire in the apartment. Mrs. Bowman was arrested later by detectives. Except in the Bowman apartment no serious damage was done to the building. A Letter to President Coolidge on the Flood His Excellency, President Calvin Coolidge, Washington, D. C.

Perhaps the majority of the real sufferers from the flood in the lower Mississippi Valley will be colored people—farmers, tenants and farm "hands." It would be well, therefore, if the Government of the United States would appoint as the right-hand help to the person or persons put in charge of relief in the different areas some Negro officer charged with the special duty of looking sympathetically into the needs and condition of the colored sufferers, and working under the general directions of the dictator or other officer in charge. It would prevent a great deal of suffering and avoid much American scandal if the co-operation of intelligent and honest colored citizens could be had on all such occasions where the interests of the Negro masses are so dearly concerned. Conditions in the southern part of the United States make this necessary. There may come a day when color will not have to be thought of on such occasions and in the midst of such disasters. But that day has not yet come. When labor is "conscripted" there it will be mostly Negro labor. There will be great injustice and much scandal unless there is sympathetic official contact of the Government authorities with the local colored leaders and people. The white leaders appointed will doubtless use the local colord men, but as such men of color selected personally and locally will have no authority and little influence beyond the wishes of the officers who appoint them, their use will be mainly an abuse of the rights and just interests of the colored sufferers. Very truly yours, WILLIAM PICKENS. "Go to High School—Go College" Campaign On The eighth annual Go to High School-Go to College campaign was launched by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity May 1 and will continue to May 7 inclusive. Plans have been completed for conducting the movement in every state in the union. Seventy chapters of the fraternity will conduct campaigns in the various sections of the country.

Georgian Had Hard Task Finding His Buick Until When Richard Davis Stevens, 32, 292 West 147th street, came up from Georgia about three weeks ago, his friend of fifteen years, Joe Davis, 30, 44 West 136th street, said that he would show him the town and then get him some work to do. Stevens is an automobile mechanic and drives his own car, a $2,500 Buick sedan. Davis told his friend that he would get him a job at a garage, and on Friday Davis took Stevens downtown and back to Washington Heights on their job quest; then a stop at Stevens' house for lunch. Davis said he would wait downstairs in the car while his friend partook of noon sustenance, and Stevens returned to find himself Buickless and friendless. He reported his loss to the police and about 5 o'clock Saturday morning Officer Carl Atwood of the 13th Precinct arrested a man at Fifth avenue and Ninety-fifth street for driving a car without a license after a collision. Davis was the man and police identified the car as Stovens' property. When arraigned in Heights Court Saturday morning before Magistrate Vitale, Davis was held without bail for a hearing today on a charge of larceny. Stevens said his new car looked a wreck when his friend was through with it.

Those who suffered knife wounds in the fray were Harry Gold, 125 East 113th street, David Rogen, 124 East 112th street, and Harry Fortgang, 1607 Park avenue. At 114th street, Sergeant Weber rushed to the scene, drawing his revolver. Dunnom at first resisted arrest, but threats of the officer subdued him. He was held in $3,000 bail by Magistrate Delagl in Harlem Court. Boy, 16, Must Face Serious Charges Mob of 5,000 Thwarted in Search for Girl's Confessed Slayer LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 2.—Following an all-night futile search of jails for Lonnie Dixon, 16-year-old youth, who confessed to attacking and murdering 11-year-old Floella McDonald, white, a mob of almost 5,000 dispersed today.

This was the charge made against Leonard Coagle, 38, 115. West 134th street, alleged habitual wife-beater, by his wife, Ola, who said that he beat her severely about the body with a thick leather strap with a heavy buckle on the end of it. Coagle was arrested by Officer Boyle of the Warrant Squad and arraigned in Heights Court Friday before Magistrate Vitale, who sentenced him to thirty days in the workhouse. Because the defendant is a cripple, Magistrate Vitale was first inclined toward lenency and was about to place him on parole. Mrs. Coagle began to cry, saying that, unless Coagle was failed, she would be beaten worse. The magistrate then asked a court attendant to view the marks on the woman's body. Mrs. Coagle's body was covered in many places with black and blue marks, the attendant said. Coagle was then sentenced. Accuse Three of Beating Officer Woman Said to Have Hid Man in Her Home When arraigned before Magistrate Douca, Thursday, in West Farm's Court, charged with being accessories to the attack upon Policeman John Anderson of Kingsbridge station, when that officer tried to stop a party or suspicious characters in Van Cortlandt Park last Sunday night, George Neal, 31 janitor at 514 Rockaway avenue; Brooklyn; Malachi Doyle, 21, 27; Thattford avenue, Brooklyn, accuses an accessory in concealing Neal, and Mrs. Pelleilla Weston, 30, 123; Webster avenue, accused of hiding Neal in her home, were held without bail.

BAYNARD WHITNEY Describing conditions in the Boulin Guard and Protective Detective Agency, 110 its purpose to aid Harlemites home in the dark.

Dark hallway suicides, assaults, attacks and may soon be that personal a premium. Describing conditions in Harlem as being appalling the Boulin Guard and Protective Service of the Boulin National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street, announces its purpose to aid Harlemites who are actually afraid to go home in the dark. Young girls are being criminally assaulted, children are being molested going to and from school, wives are being insulted, individuals are being threatened with bodily harm, homes and apartments are being burglarized and stores and business establishments are being held up, looted, and the owners' and clerks' lives endangered and taken — all this is happening with astonishing frequency. Dark hallways are the scenes of murders, suicides, assaults, attacks and robberies of every kind. It may soon be that personal safety may be had only at a premium. Police records recently disclosed the fact that in New York City during 1926 a robbery occurred every nine minutes, an arrest was made every forty minutes, and insurance records revealed that 60,000 persons suffered individual losses through robbery. House robberies are on the increase, the police report. New York's six million people are in very pressing need of greater police protection. Less than 500 police are now responsible for the safety of the entire population of Harlem, which includes 200,000 Negroes. On the score of higher taxes, and appropriation for a larger police force is not feasible at this time. The Boulin National Detective Agency and its Guard and Protective Service have become an indispensable aid to the police in fighting crime, and in offering their services, at a very nominal fee, to the public in general and to the Negro in particular, they are performing an invaluable social service and meeting a most vital need. For a little over a cent a day (fifty cents a month), anyone may become a member of the Boulin Guard and Protective Service.

It is the aim of the Boulin Guard and Protective Service to organize and educate the people of Harlem in the matter of self-protection. The burglary business in Harlem flourishs. A careful survey made by the Boulin National Detective Agency reveals that 75 per cent of the people of Harlem are workers who are away from their homes during the day, and 30 per cent of these are employed downtown. Fifty per cent of house robberies in Harlem are daylight robberies, committed between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m., and 30 per cent of these are carried out via the fire escape. When it is considered that a policeman has a beat of nearly eight blocks to cover, it is surprising that a still greater number of robberies are The Boys a URNIZE NEW Eyes we cess!

Harlem Headquarters Street not committed, a spokesman for the Boulin Agency said. The citizens of Harlem are asked to co-operate with the police and the Boulin Service and Agency, by subscribing to the Boulin Guard and Protective Service, thus combating, through organized effort, the losses they daily suffer. It is the policy of the Boulin Service to protect the homes of the working people and to co-operate with the police. The greater number of people who become members of the Boulin Guard and Protective Service, the more effective and efficient will the Service become, and the cost in this manner will also be reduced. Boulin operatives will be on the job 24 hours of the day, and uniformed men will patrol the district at night. Warning signs on the doors, alarms, both electric and mechanical, will be installed at every point of entrance to the home. One may close his house or apartment, give the Boulin Service man the key, and sail to Europe with the utmost assurance of positive protection 24 hours of every day they are away. The cat will also be fed, and put out every night as usual. Wives, working girls and school children have only to report an insult from a "corner crocodile," and he will be nabbed, haled to court and fined or jailed. Women returning late from the dance may hire a Boulin escort. Cash-heavy individuals en route to the money temple may hire a Boulin coin-protector. Weddings, parties and private dances may have a Boulin man in attendance if the hosts so desire. Protection of every kind for every purpose may be had upon application for Boulin's A. B.

HAROLD I. PRATT, Treasurer an Association --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1927 That the doctrine of birth control should be accepted was the question debated by the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, affirmative, and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, negative, at Imperial Auditorium, 160 West 19th street, Saturday evening. The speakers for Kappa were Charles Collier, Eugene Corbie and Hardourt Tynes; for Alpha, J. Ernest Whitfield, Frank A. Walker and A. Croxton Gilbert. The main arguments presented by Kappa were that the United States is no longer self-supporting; the worst of the human stock breeds three times as fast as the best; the mortality caused in child-bearing is large; prostitution and crime are largely results of big families. That the doctrine of birth control is unnecessary, since death makes a natural adjustment; the condition of the Negro population is not one to warrant alarm; birth control is contrary to the standard of morality in that it places into the hands of every woman the option of motherhood and, therefore, increases prostitution; birth control leads to race suicide, shutting out, perhaps, a Douglass, a Lincoln or a Roosevelt, were some of the principal arguments advanced by the negative. The judges—Dr. Peter Murray, Edgar M. Grey, Attorney F. D. Johnson—decided unanimously in favor of Kappa. They voted Charles Collier the best individual debater of the evening. This interfraternity debate was the last in the triangular series among the Omega Psi Phi, the Kappa Alpha Psi and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternities for the season. Omicron Chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi, with Herbert L. Dudley as polemarch, was the victor in each debate. A representative group attended the debate, which was followed by a dance. PLACED ON PROBATION.

LOUIS, Mo., May 2 (By the Associated Negro Press).—Is Negro business which grows to large proportions in the South safe? Persons who have watched the slow and uncertain but dramatic progress of the Poro case through the courts here are asking themselves that question. A business leader of St. Louis, commenting, after the latest delay in settling the case had been announced, on the net of work, of conspiracy and entanglement which has been woven around one of the Negro's strongest businesses, said: "After a Negro business institution located below the Mason and Dixon line passes the million-dollar mark, it is no longer safe. White men then begin to envy its power and influence and plan to cripple it." Harry Pace, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, talking in Chicago last week, said he would never take his organization into Southern territory for much the same reason. FOUR Colored St. Louisians, who are viewing with growing bitterness the white receivership at Poro College, discuss in low and angry tones, wherever you find them, the situation from which this successful business is trying to extricate itself and say openly that only in a town of Southern sentiment and influence like St. Louis could such a condition exist. No one here seems to think there is any reason for a receiver for Poro, save to make fat fees which he and those responsible for his investment probably will share. It is common knowledge that Poro is not only entirely solvent and prosperous, but that it is so finely organized and so wisely conducted by Mrs. Malone, and that it is a huge money-maker. Therefore, the colored populace is impatient that Paeben, the white receiver, should be kept in charge, waving, theoretically at least, a big stick of vengeance over a Negro institution. Mrs. Malone, they cord, can furnish as large a bond as necessary. Why not free her hands, and, if a receiver is necessary, make her the receiver under bond? "Here in St. Louis," others point out, "Negroes have few rights which white people are bound to respect. Negroes cannot eat in a single white restaurant nor go into any white movie houses of the city, but when an institution is developed for Negroes by Negroes and appears prosperous, the whites seem to be awaiting an opportunity to stop in and take control. They then proceed to handle it as they go." Some of this indignation arises from the habit of the receiver and his assistants walking into the perfectly appointed Poro dining room A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid." **25 cents.

Too one may hear them complaining that Paeben had a habit of ordering Mrs. Malone's Cadillac and chauffeur out to haul him to and from downtown. He returned a $500 check which he had drawn to his own account, ceased his efforts to get her formula and has not discharged any more of her employees during the past several weeks. No date has been set for the hearing of either the Malone divorce case nor the action making the receivership permanent. Mr. Malone is being closely guarded on a farm over in Illinois, but reports are that his condition is miserable; that at times he raves, and that, because his lawyers are trying to avoid committing him to an asylum, he has not had the sort of attention which a mentally alling patient should have. Mrs. Malone, who would place the best psychopathic talent at his disposal were she permitted, is patiently waiting for the dilatory grinding of the mills of the law. PAYS RECORD FINE FOR UNMUZZLED DOG The highest fine on record in Harlem Court for falling to muzzle a dog was meted out to Julian Thompson, of 26 East 78th street, a private chauffeur, by Magistrate Delagi on Friday. Thompson appeared in behalf of his white employers, whose names were withheld. Policeman Stern of the Health Squad said that Thompson's employer, a wealthy white woman, had torn up the summons which he served when he found Thompson escorting an unmuzzled dog on Seventy-eighth street. Thompson paid the fine of $10. Col. Little and Son Take Brides in Calif. LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 30.—One hour apart, Colonel Arthur Little, New York publisher, and his son, Arthur Jr., were principals in two weddings here on Friday. Colonel Little, World War veteran, came here to attend the wedding of his son to Miss Helen Gage. Mrs. Charlotte Houston Fairchild, an old friend of the Little family, also came to attend the wedding. When these old friends decided to marry, Miss Gage proposed that the ceremony uniting Colonel Little and Mrs. Fairchild should precede her own wedding by an hour. Hundreds Have Registered so as to Support Favorable Candidates RALEIGH, N. C., May 2 (By The Associated Negro Press)—From present indications the Negro vote will be the deciding factor in the forthcoming city election. Acting upon the advice of the political leaders of the State of North Carolina, hundreds of Negroes have registered and are eligible to vote. This large and unprecedented registration of Negro citizens has caused much concern in political circles here and has become a distinct issue in the campaign between the present office holders and the candidates. Mayor Culbreth, in discussing the matter, declared that "we have as law-abiding colored citizenship as any city in the State and if colored people desire to take part in the city election that is their privilege given under our form of government, which is non-partisan." This same attitude is taken by Edward G. Birdson, Commissioner of Public Safety, and C. C. Page, Commissioner of Public Works, who expressed the opinion that "any citizen who can read and write the Constitution has a right to register and vote in the city election. The opponents of the present office holders, however, are of a different opinion and declare that the registration and participation of Negroes in a white man's election forobodies evil and trouble. One policeman has resigned because of the "repudiation of white supremacy" and the candidates for office have sent telegrams throughout the State and to United States Senators from the South, decrying the attitude of Mayor Culbreth and others on the ticket.

Unknown Man Thwarts Robbery Came Out of Telephone Booth-Soon After Bandits Entered Store An unknown man who was using a telephone in a booth in the drug store of Clifton Smith, at 2066 Madison avenue, was responsible for the capture of two men who were held on charges of attempted robbery when arraigned in Harlem Court. The unknown man was unaware of the part he played in the capture, police say. Angelo Volpe, 27, 1312 Chisholm street, The Bronx, and Edward Lautier, 47, of the Melrose hotel, 123th street and Third avenue, were held without bail on Friday by Magistrate Delagi in Harlem Court for a hearing before the Grand Jury. Smith told Detectives Winter and Minister of the East 126th street station that the two men entered the store and displayed blackjacks and dirks. They demanded his money, Smith said.

Johnson, well-known distributor of Negro literature and co-author of the book, "Two Colored Women With the A.E.F." says: "There is no doubt of the great need of the education of the white people through the distribution of literature concerning the Negro. That a white man could grow up in the South, or in any other section of the country, and learn nothing about Negroes, except that they have been slaves, is not a thing to amaze one, but the tragic thing about the whole matter is that not even Negroes have had a chance to learn anything of themselves until within the last few years."

For some years Miss Johnson has been selling throughout the country a "Two Foot Shelf of Negro Literature" with much success among Negroes, and she now feels that the same work could be done among whites. "I think a similar plan," says the author, "could be worked out among the white people of the country through a Bureau for the Distribution of Negro Literature, whose purpose would be to make out a speaker's itinerary, arrange dates for public addresses in churches, schools, and from public platforms of any kind. These public addresses could be followed by someone who could sell magazines to the people, distribute printed matter, and personally visit the homes of whatever people there were in the audience who expressed an interest in purchasing books." She then relates the successful efforts she has made to get books on the Negro into white libraries and clubs and homes. Miss Johnson concludes that such endeavor increases the whites' respect for Negroes and thus helps in solving the race problem.

At present the women are paid by the day on a basis of from $12 to $14 per week, wages being cut when work falls off. The average hours of work are from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., with three-quarters of an hour for luncheon. Conditions are bad, no dressing rooms being provided for them as is required in factories. The drivers have joined the women workers in a sympathetic strike and walked out last Monday to assist them in picketing the North American Laundry building at 500 East 164th street. Rose Schneidermann, white president of the Women's Trade Union League, estimated the number of colored women laundry workers in the city at 10,000. The majority have very poor conditions and very low wages, though a small proportion have been organized and have secured, through the efforts of the Trade Union League, increased wages, bringing the minimum salary up nearer the minimum living wage for New York City. ark; Miss Marie Blakely. 26 Wick- liffe street, Newark.

Tuesday began proceedings in the Municipal Court to evict the recorder for non-payment of rent.

Dispute over some repairs is understood to be the cause of the failure of Recorder Free to certify the vouchers for the rents for the past two months.

Young Martin succeeded his brother, the late Eugene Mars Martin, as director of the school in January, 1927. We wish this young man much success in conducting his first big recital for the school.

The trustees of the school, through this medium, have taken advantage of the opportunity to express their grateful appreciation for the valued patronage of the public in the past and earnestly solicit a continuance of the same. Mrs. Gertrude H. Martin, chairman, who has always been a faithful worker, co-operating with the faculty trustees and director of the school to make this event a success each year, is working doubly hard this year. We feel that Mrs. Martin should be complimented and encouraged in the wonderful spirit she has in going on in this work with all the setbacks she has had. No one could have carried this work on any better or in a more efficient, business-like, whole-hearted manner than this noteworthy woman has done. The recital is scheduled for 8:30 and the promoters hope guests will be as prompt in gathering as they have been in the past.

Mr. White told the story of the defense of Dr. Sweet and his associates in Detroit and of the masterly conduct of the case by Mr. Darrow culminating in a seven-hour address to the jury which, brought acquittal of Henry Sweet. "We do honor to a man who has attacked, ridiculed and exposed every idea held by this smug, bourgeois civilization of ours," declared Mr. White. "He has shown that the agnostics and free thinkers are friends of the Negro rather than the fundamentalists whose religion, which should make them the best friends of the people of other races, actually stops at the color line." Other speakers at the dinner to Mr. Darrow were: Zona Gale, novelist; Judge Harry Fisher of the Cook County Circuit Court; Donald Richberg, prominent attorney; Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Prof. Thomas V. Smith of the University of Chicago, Prof. Shirley J. Case, and Fay Cooper-Cole. PICKENS ADDRESSES SMITH COLLEGE GROUP A group of fifty girls and teachers of Smith College, Northampton, Mass., came on April 23 to 69 Fifth avenue to attend an address by William Pickens on the "Economic Motive in Race Problems." Mr. Pickens explained at length that "the chief end of oppression is robbery, not race integrity, and the greater the robbery, the faster is the amalgamation process. A subject race will be amalgamated faster than a race that is on terms of legal equality with the dominant race. Equality is the best check on amalgamation between two races that differ. There is no final preventive of amalgamation. but respect for the equal rights of the weaker group is the best check on amalgamation." SIX Side Lights on SOCIETY Mrs. John L.

Each girl worked energetically at typing, shorthand. French flower making, Spanish or power machine operating. Her chief objective, however, was to carry on the work of her course to learn to do something well. The tables were turned Friday evening, however. Work was for a little while forgotten and fellowship reigned, regardless of special class or interest, when members of the Education Department took the place for their first impulse banquet. Ninety girls laughed and sang together, talked and ate and enjoyed together the program arranged for them. The scene of the banquet, served by the Cafeteria, was the green dining room, even more attractive than usual, with the gay green of programs, nut baskets and candles and the bright yellow of jonglils. The soft radiance of candle light—the only light used—made a lovely picture more lovely: Mrs. Lila A. Coleman, president of the student council, presided over the program, which was charmingly begun with piano selections by Miss Margaret Murray. Mrs. Ernest R. Alexander, chairman of the educational committee, gave greetings to the girls from the department and the X. V. (Xavier) College, and the banquet was Mrs. Ceccella, Cubanian Saunders, general secretary of the branch. Mrs. Saunders made an inspiring short talk on the subject "Candles That Burn." During the program the girls enjoyed intensely the singing and cheering, under the capable direction of Miss Irene Saunders, a member of the education committee. The program was closed on a very happy note—the delightful performance MNE. J. S. TOOL of 127 West 111st Street / MNE. M. L.

The Alitso Collegians are planning their first annual party in cooperation with the Young Men's Division of the Y, M, C, A. These two groups have also met to formulate plans for a play to be presented soon. Miss E. V. Sarreals motored to Bear Mountain to attend a conference of camp directors on Saturday and Sunday.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1927 New York or Africa? It is a custom in Africa for the children to take the name of the mother who supports them and her husband, while the husband fills among the palm trees with the debuntes. My, my, my! Don't customs fringe? Right here in the United States we find family after family in which the mother pays the rent, clothes the children, feeds them and the old man, who is thrown in for good measure. Now isn't it hard enough for our women to support themselves without the addition of a spineless jelly-fish of a man and a couple of dependent little children? The disposition on the part of some Negro men to sit all day in an easy chair with their feet popped up on the table and to give orders is due largely to the fact that they are accustomed to the women working, handling them the money and bringing the basket of food home under their arm. A woman with children owes her first duty to her home. Let the man get out and work and remember that the innocent little bodies and minds need a mother's time and devotion. The public school system of today demands that the mother give her time to the children's physical welfare. Since we bring these little souls into the room the best way we can do is give the personal care till they are old enough to think carefully for themselves. As long as some men see that the women are willing to shoulder the burden they are going to let them. Of course, there are times when it is necessary for the woman to help the husband make ends meet. That's a different case, as both are struggling toward a goal, and usually the interest of the children is at heart and their development is looked after. But the practice of mother working all day and father sleeping, gambling and seeking other women is one of the most disgusting on earth. Dear Sinner: I do not feel capable of giving you advice. For peace of mind, the best thing you can do is to confide in a lawyer as you have in me. I do not feel capable of giving you advice. For peace of mind, the best thing you can do is to confide in a lawyer as you have in me. Sincerely, EGYPSY ANN. Dear Egyptys Ann: I wonder if you can help me out of my trouble. I am a young girl of 17 and I work in a store. I give all my money to my mother except for carriage and lunch. I come home and make me stay in and clean the house. I never have any time to go out. My mother says that all boys are bad; make me stay in and clean the house. She says the right man will come along and marry if I am good and pure. Now, dear Egyptys Ann, do you think that right I tried to tell my friends go out with them and nothing happens to them. I never have any fun. She says all amusement words of the devil. Please help me. MARY ANN. Dear Little Girl! Your desires are natural. I'm thankful to say that all amusement places are not works of the devil, and this womb be a lonely work if you haven't the joyment that a number of these places provide. Surely when mother was your age she wanted friends and enjoyment too. No, indeed, all boys are not bad. We've some mighty line young men, but they are not going to hunt about for girls, as there are too many of them. You'll have to step out and meet and meet some people, and you won't find a girl friend to out with? You can be good and pure and still mingle with the girls and boys. Luck to you from EGYPSY ANN. Dear Mrs. Egypty Ann: My daughter is eighteen years old and attends college. In public school she is doing very well, very helpful in our home with housework and sowing for herself and younger brother. Now that she attends college she is any household duties, such as washing dishes or even cleaning her room unless made to do so, and will not even hang up her hat and coat. I tried to put the house as she once was, fearing that if she is careless now she will be more so when she goes among strangers, and they do not welcome her and do not wait on themselves, but bring anxiety and worry by being careless. Otherwise she is a good Christian girl—lively, well fitted, very active in her studies, and engages most of her more time writing. Kindly tell me what you would do to make her take an interest in the home. Other mothers tell me they have similar trouble with their girls as they grow ANXIOUS MOTHER. Dear Anxious Mother: The trouble lies in the fact that your daughter has so many interests that something has to suffer, and in her case it's the house work. To her it's drach and monotonous compared with her other activities. However, there are times when you do what things that hold no interest for us, it is possible for you to let her spend a week-end occasionally with some friends who are particular about their homes?

Seven out of every hundred cars in Paris are driven by women, but there are only three women involved in every hundred fines imposed or in prosecutions begun by the police. A New York paper, in commenting on this situation, said: "Possibly the Parisian police smile and forget more often when women offend the traffic rules than they do when men are at fault." This may be true, yet I am inclined to believe that women drive more carefully, act more quickly and take the law more seriously.—T. E. B. and subconciously, if not consciously, make an improvement.

BROWN The Cook Says--- When pickles are left from a meal, always replace them in their brine or they will shrivel up. Even boxed raisins often contain sand and stalks which must be washed away before the fruit is used. In families of one or two, individual trays are useful for serving breakfast without setting the table. To avoid the tedious job of peeling raw potatoes, boil them with their jackets on. The skins will come off easily without waste and the flavor of the potatoes will be improved. Household Hints When making, up a cushion, spread a thick sheet of wadding over it just under the outer cover, tacking it down with a stitch at the corners and in the middle of the sides. The cushion feels softer than it otherwise, would. The wadding also shows up the work and makes even a plain cover look richer. Keep a block of paper in the kitchen. It is useful for jotting down the many things that you need around the house. Have you wondered how to remove egg stains from your linen tablecloth? Just soak the linen in cold water before gending it to the laundry. Never use hot water, as it "sets" the stains and makes them difficult to remove.

There is no part of the body more constantly in evidence than the hands. Almost everyone notices the condition in which hands and nails are kept. Do not flatter yourself that you can conceal their condition. When you greet a friend, when you talk, whether you keep them quietly in your lap, when you eat—always your hands are drawing attention to themselves, whether you like it or not. The very act of attempting to conceal them frequently seems to make them more noticeable. Treatment of the hands themselves is of utmost importance, care of the nails is absolutely essential. We hand all the born with lovely almond-shaped nails, but we all can do much towards improving the natural shape. We can keep them in good condition. Nothing else responds so quickly to care, or repays us so amply as a little time and attention. Visit a professional manicurist occasionally, not as a substitute or giving your nails attention, but so as to keep them in perfect condition. Home treatment is almost always inadequate. Do not allow your nails to be shaped in any of the freak ways occasionally seen. The lower part should be rounded in the popular limb shape, the edge filed to follow the general shape of the finger. Having found a satisfactory manicurist, place yourself in her hands. Relax completely: it makes it far easier for her, and is excellent for you. A few minutes' attention to thorough cleansing of the nails and to the cuticle each night should be as much a part of preparation for bed as the cleansing of the teeth. Sub vaseline or cold cream into the cuticle and press it back gently. Look at your nails now. Are hey as they should be? 1319 Bradhurst Bradhurst 6993 Mme.

Grenfell, medical pioneer of Labrador, in an address at Hampton's fifty-ninth anniversary, before 400 graduates and ex-students, the student body of over 1,000, including 190 candidates for degrees and diplomas, and many friends from various States, declared that it is not the man of genius but the man of courage who has the qualities for achievement. "All the world takes off its hat to the man who does things," he said. "No matter what the difficulties are, you have many assets." he said. "You have an infinitely great asset in your spirituals. Your music is good for those of us who think we are too scientific and modern to be simple. Christ was simple. Simplicity is the greatest factor for mankind for making a better world." CONGRESSMAN FISH SPEAKS TONIGHT Congressman Hamilton Fish will speak at the Appomattox Republican Club, 108 West 136th street, tonight. Mr. Fish is recognized as one of the progressive leaders of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women and founder of the Bethune-Cookman College at Daytona, Fla., brought greetings from 2,500,000 colored women. Dr. Francis G. Peabody, first vicepresident of the board of trustees, Hampton Institute, before presenting the graduating class to the board of trustees, read a telegram from Chief Justice William H. Taft, president of the board, as follows: "How I would like to attend the anniversary of Hampton Institute and her commencement, but it is impossible. I treasure the recollection of those meetings in the past as a source of deepest inspiration. May Hampton go on in her great work of giving strength and hope to a people showing wonderful progress toward better personal, social and political living. May God bless the work." YOUNG POST TO HANDLE OWN SALE This year the administration of funds collected through the sale of poppies by the Col. Charles Young Post, American Legion, will be left wholly to the post. In the past the money that had been collected for welfare work has been sent to the county organization to be added to the general fund for needy veterans. Finding that the men sent down to the county headquarters were not being handled as the past desired that they should, the post will handle all cases themselves. Though being sold for the benefit of veterans, the post wants to bring to the attention of the public that these poppies should not be considered as memorials to deceased veterans alone, but also as a general memorial flower. At the next meeting of the post to be held on May 16, 1927, at the home of Vice-Commander Harry A. Leonard, 110 West 139th street, plans will be completed for the sale of poppies and for Memorial Day.

Mr. Fish is recognized as one of the progressive leaders of the Republican Party in the State, and has been outspoken in demands for the rehabilitation of the party. In the last Congress he was the author of a measure to erect a monument in France to colored heroes of the World War, which measure was defeated in Senate. A former officer in the famous Fifteenth regiment, Congressman Fish because of his public and private actions is recognized as one of the outstanding friends of the Negro race. Dr. W. P.

SUMMONED FOURTH TIME AS VIOLATOR Three previous arraignments in Harlem Court on same charge resulted in a fine of $5 for Mehrin Witter, of 2262 Seventh avenue, a taxi chauffeur charged with overcrowding the hack stand at the New York Central station at 125th street and Park avenue, on Friday. Witter told Magistrate Delagi that he did not stop at the stand, but Policeman Sullivan of the East 126th street station said he had summoned Witter to court on three occasions before for the same violation. Theater goers all over the country admire the beautiful hair of Miss Katherine A. Boyd of the J. Lawrence Criner Company. Miss Boyd says: "I often wondered how other women kept their hair looking so smooth and glossy until I started using Improved Phluk Hair Dressing. Then I knew the secret.

Cooper, director of activities of the circle. Automobile Accessories No Longer Luxuries "One branch of the automotive industry at least has made great strides forward—the tire industry," the letter also states. "Good tires have increased in quality at least fourfold, and decreased in price 50 per cent in the last decade, while clothing, shoes, shelter and food have gone steadily upward in price, in some cases more than doubled, with no marked improvement in quality, material or length or service. "Tires today cost less in actual dollars and cents than ever before. The best tire can be bought for only a dollar or two more than the cheapest and trashiest. The public is awakening to this—and there is constantly a better market for the best, and a pride of ownership goes with the use of the best and longest-lived tires, at an actually lower cost per mile. "The big point is that car owners are coming to buy tires as carefully as they do clothes and shoes and beefsteak—and are finding that quality pays—especially when the best costs only a little more than the cheapest.

Ballanta --- African Musician Ballanta --- African Musician By CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE The recent award of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship to Nicholas G. J. Ballanta of Free Town, Sierra Leone, Africa, for the comparison of these conceptions with the musical conceptions of the older systems of music in Europe is of great importance to Afro-Americans. Mr. Ballanta, or Ballanta-Taylor, as he is sometimes called, began his musical activities as a lad in Sierra Leone and his early struggles should be a source of inspiration to his American cousins. was performed at Symphony Hall in an African pageant under the musical direction of the writer. Mr. Ballanta stayed that winter in Boston and studied orchestration under Jacie, director of the Boston Conservatory of Music, but later went to New York, where he attracted the attention of Walter Dumrosch, who brought him to the attention of his brother, Frank Demrosch, head of the institute of Musical Art, where he was given a scholarship and, after several years' study, graduated. During his sojourn in New York he was brought to the attention of George Foster Peabody, who gave him financial aid and made it possible for him to visit St. Helena Islands, off Charleston, South Carolina, and compile and publish a splendid book of rare Negro Spirituals. Later, through the assistance of Mr. Peabody, he was enabled to return to Africa for research work. Mr. Ballanta has already done some excellent work in the scientific study of African scales and rhythms and the award will enable him to do much more along this line. Being a talented and thoroughly trained musician with an unparalleled opportunity for this work in Africa, we may expect much valuable material to be placed at the disposal of musicians at large, and cky Num New OKeh Reco Most Famous En Lucky 11 Great New O Race's Most Fa Lucky Numbers! 11 Great New OKeh Records by the Race's Most Famous Entertainers 8455—Black Snake Moan Match Box Blues Blind Lemon Jefferson 8453—Lovesick Blues Lonsome Weary Blues Bertha "Chippie" Hill 8452—Praying For The Mourners Sisters' Prayer Meeting Rev.

Probably through the knowledge of the achievements of S. Coleridge-Taylor, whose father was a native of Sierra Leone, although he was not a relative of Ballanta, our young musician early aspired to compose, and although his knowledge of composition and the theoretical subjects leading up to composition was entirely self-acquired, he wrote several anthems and sent them off to England to a publisher who was much taken with the talent displayed and offered encouragement in the way of books and music, which he sent young Ballanta. After attempting a sacred cantata written with full orchestra accompaniment and an Orchestral Rhapody written on African rhythms, he managed to get to England for serious study. There Ballanta found friends but not the financial support to go on with the study, so decided to try America. He first came to Boston at the suggestion of Mrs. Casley Hayford and her niece, Miss Kathleen Easman (Samango), who were in America in the interest of an African school.

During vacation time the young school teacher had visited her mother in Washington, but rather hurriedly and briefly, because hitherto she had attended summer school during each July and August. Never had the two women come to any understanding of each other. Mathilde was tender, Tracy more or less respectful. The girl said queer, cryptic things to her poor mother, for example: "Mom, don't you know when I'm in this funny little old Le Droit Park house with you. I always feel I've reverted to the Mauve Decade!" They talked of things that didn't matter at all. The things that did matter immensely they quite ignored. As Mathilde observed this strange fruit of her loins, she thought of Milton's words—"So buxom, blithe, and debonair"—but realized that Tracy wasn't buxom in the sense of plump, for she had an entirely boyish figure! The mother avoided everything that the young lady might deem inquisitorial, although the mother heart was disturbed; but, then young people nowadays are—. And Tracy was highly uncommunicative. These superficial contacts during vacation time were sterile of any good result. They left Mathilde bewildered. But Tracy was magnificently non-derivant. ling. remember one lands a salmon—not a husband!" "I'll tell you, Mom, I want one just the same as everybody else. You had yours and I want mine. If truth be told, I'm horribly in love this very minute. It's the first time in my whole life. That's why I need you so." Tracy went to sit at her mother's feet. "He's a most elegant man. Seems as if he's inherited a fortune from his grandfather. Henry McKee, one of the pillars of Philadelphia. He's travelled everywhere and knows 'most everything. And honestly, Mom, he's as handsome as a man can possibly be. He's as gracious and courtly as the Prince of Wales—only lots safer! He doesn't go to see anybody but me. He doesn't dance with anybody else. He just doesn't care for any other girl. And he's not fresh like those spectacled young bucks that Mary likes. He doesn't try to kiss you or anything. And he doesn't talk much. I just have to make the first move myself—for his sake. He's in Chicago now but he'll be back. And you'll just love him to death. Mom; now, see if you don't." It was a sultry day in August. The afternoon shower had helped but not much. Mary had gone up the Hudson with a party of friends, "not the bunch, though." she explained to Mathilde. Indo-posed by the weather, the bewildered visitor remained abed. Tracy was dressing with elaborate care, because a telegram told her that Mr. McKee would reach New York this morning and call sometime in the afternoon. It was now four o'clock. Buzz. buzz. buzz went the unfortunate apartment house buzzer. Tracy pressed the button hastily. "O, he's come. Mom, he's come! I just have to give him a good hug. So, you sort of close the door." The familiar footstep and the knock. Tracy opened wide the door. "Hello. Tracy," exclaimed McKee. "It's might good to see you again. How splendid you look! How're tricks since I've been away?" And he held out his great it is you and only youighter in truth --- by "It is you, Mathilde, it is you and only you that I love. I beg you, make Tracy my daughter in truth --- by---by becoming my wife." PAUL M. TIRAGE Now at last, however, the girl had spoken—or rather, written to her mother out of the depths of her heart. She longed to have privilege with her in New York. At last she felt that she needed her mother. Perhaps, there was a real emergency. And Matilda rushed to the train without coming home when her labors at the Patent Office were ended on the last day before her vacation. Not a moment would she waste. She was aflush with the enthusiasm of her own youth as she hurried to the arms of her daughter. At the vast Pennsylvania Station pink-cheeked Tracy was at the gate, natttly attired, when her mother came through in her simple black dress. And the girl dung herself into the outstretched arms, covering her mother's cheeks with the eager kisses Mathilde hadn't known for years. "I love you, little mother, and I'm sorry that I've been a naughty, nasty girl. You've been ever so good to me—ever so good." Mathilde did not—could not speak but the tears streamed down her face as they entered the taxicab. Her treasure, her glory, her life had come back to her at last in this most wonderful way. The snappy apartment Matthilde found charming, with its outer green tables and chairs, its etchings—MeKee's gift, its flowers, its Persian rugs, its books and mugazines scattered everywhere. She drank the ice cold Orange Blossom tea her daughter had prepared for her and ate the broches with joy. And the delectable Mary she promptly adored. "Eat, Tracy, why on earth did you both your hair?" "Well, you see, Mom, long hair belongs to the Early Colonial Period and we're in the second quarter of the Twentieth Century now. With all these pretty women here in New York, I'd never land a husband if I hauled about a wagon load of hair. A girl's just got to look chic, Mom. Look at this dress from Avedon's.

Calmly rippling waters In their language sing; Flowing out toward the sea. Gladly tell of Spring! All nature seems rejoicing! And every living thing Waking, from their Winter beds, With joy to greet the Spring. —By J. Lee Timberlake. Africa is given as the scene where mankind originated in a report by Alonzo W. Pond, director of the Logan African Expedition of Beloit College, of which a resume is published in the New York Times. The expedition, according to Mr. Pond, found the skeleton of a human child dating back to 60- hands to clasp her little ones. She looked into his clear eyes, hesitated a moment, and impetuously threw herself into his arms. He faltered and, then, kissed her forehead with a certain delicacy and tenderness. She turned her red lips to his ardently; a moment and he barely touched them with his lips, released her gently, and sought refuge on the couch, toying with a billowy purpde pillow. Tracy sat close beside him, her hand on his arm. "Now, tell me," she said with an air of vivacious proprietorship, and immemorial radiance in her face and eyes," tell me all about the stockyards.of Chicago. Why didn't you let me know where to write? You men are so unimaginative. Why don't you write me? or call me up on Long Distance? Did you take my picture with you? What did you do there? Whom did you see? Did you fall in love with a cowgirl? Tell me every single thing and don't prevaricate." "Ha, ha," he laughed heartily, "Well, I transacted my business as quickly as I could, submitted my teeth to the tender ministrations of Dr. Bentley, looked over some properties that my grandfather left me, consulted President Binga, met one or two other friends—attended a dreary hearing in Court, and came back soberly to New York. So far as seeing girls and falling in love and that sort of caper, I'm too old now, you know. There were." he added in graver tone, "two or three unhappy marriages in my own family and I've seen others at rather close range. No marriage for your Uncle Henry! I'm too set in my ways and, perhaps, I prize my freedom too much." "O, Henry!" Tracy cried in a sudden franny, "but, you know I love you madly—you know I 000 B. C., in Algeria, Northern Africa, and also remains of long extinct animals such as a giant ox measuring 52 inches between the tips of the horns.

How can you—talk like that?" "What I say is most true," he answered with severity. "But, don't, you love me? Aren't you going to marry me?—O. Henry, this will kill me—kill me. You have deceived me, deluded me!" With profound embarrassment he arose—but dared not leave as he saw the girl crumple up on the couch with a shriek. Mathilde flung open the bedroom door and came into the living room unstraught; her hair, flecked with silver, scattered over his shoulder, and her fine strong face deeply imprinted with the lines that sorrow and loneliness had chiselled there. She went to Tracy, taking her head upon her lap. And then, she looked straight as a tigress at the man standing there. He did not move. "What!" she exclaimed, "is it you—George Rawlinson?—you? How dare you masquerade here under an assumed name? Have you not brought me sorrow enough?" "Mathilde," he answered with a gentleness in which there was no bitterness and no flurry. "I am as fond of Tracy as if she were my own child. Not one syllable of nonsense have I ever spoken to her. My new name was willing to me together with a fortune to an eccentric grandfather. My only fault is that I never made enquiry of you or let your daughter dream of any friendship between us. But, that was because I feared she would hate me and because you had routed and dismissed and humiliated me—utterly. "But," he added with extraordinary fervor, advancing toward her, "it is you, Mathilde, it is you and only you that I love. I beg you, make Tracy by daughter in truth—by—by becoming my wife. The End.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York TEN ROYAL GIANTS DIVIDE TILT Win and Lose in Double Header With Crack Bushwick Nine The Bushwicks resumed their winning ways after dropping the first game of a double header to the Brooklyn Royal Colored Giants, 8 to 1, at Dexter Park, Sunday, when they won the nightcap to the tune of 8 to 2. The second game marked the return of Joe Peploski, who quit the Bushwicks two years ago to go into the real estate business in Florida. The little peppot received a great ovation from the fans. Jack McVoy, veteran first-sacker, played his last game for the Bushwicks in the opening, Paddy Smith, the hustling catcher, replacing him at first base in the second game, Whitey Ross, former laminate catcher, went behind the plate. Eppy Barnes, former Erasmus Hall and Colgate star, is expected to be with the Bushwicks as their regular first-sacker starting next week, and another change in the makeup of the Kandy Kids' lineup is likely to be made. Joe Kaiser, the young hurler who received a trial with the Chicago Cubs this spring, will rejoin the Dexter Parkers next week. Lefty Flournay twirled a fine game against the Bushwicks in the opener, turning them back with eight hits, three of which were garnered by Capt. Joe Welsh. Jack Smith's hitting featured the Powals' attack, the classy right fielder getting six hits in eight trips, three out of four in each game. Hudspeth, the Glantean lanky first baseman, got one hit in each game, one a double and the other, the longest of the day, a drive that bounced off the right field fence, good for only one base. Torque Twirls' Well. Carl Dietzen was treated rudely by the Royals in the first three innings during which, they collected five of their runs. Dominic Torne, who relieved him, twirled fine ball for the remainder of the game, except for a lapse in the ninth innning, when he was nicked for three runs. The Royals outhit the Bushwicke by 10 to 7 in the second game, but Eddie Forkenbury kept the Giants' blows well scattered and had only one bad innning, the visitors making two runs on three singles in the sixth. A bad throw by Payne paved the way for a big seven-run rally by the Bushwicke after two were out in the fourth, and by drawing a pass Eddie Gerner heat out a hunt and Patty Smith caught the Giants' field napping with a slow, well-placed bunt, filling the bases. Nick Carter then filed to Jack Smith, whose throw, relaxed by Hudspeth, put Denoski at the plate. Kewpie Dean walked, refilling the bases. Ross then hit on easy grounder in Parme, who three past Hudson. Gerner scoring and the bars remaining loaded. Hockenburry's double, Lai's safe roller, Irvine's two-hander and See's bad throw on Brooks' grounder followed in rapid succession and, after the smoke cleared away it was found that the Bushwicks had seven runs. The Royals got all that eventually proved necessary in the first inning of the opener, a pass to Arnold. Lai's had heave on See's attempted sacrifice and Gerner's two-hault muff of Brooks' fly giving them two runs. The Bushwicks' lone run was scored in the third on a single by Paddy Smith, Lai's force-out, a pass STOP COUGHING BOSCHEE'S SYRUP Gets right down where the cough starts—loosens up the phlegm and you quit coughing At all druggies 30c and 90c G.

April 30.—An unusually large squad of promising athletes are working out daily under the direction of Coach Charles West in preparation for the National Open Championships, which will be held on the Howard campus May 14. Just now the leading candidates for the mile relay team are Bridges, Greenbridge, Browndale and Capitol Hill, all of whom are capable of turning in 440 in 51 seconds. There is little to choose between the lot; but, from point of experience, Bridges, Langton and Hill are pretty sure to get the call. Bob Miller is taking care of the 18-pound hammer with fairly consistent throws and the 16-pound shot with a record of 44 feet, while Earl Gauntt is a sure point man for the javelin. In the 100 and 220 blue and white will make her for Carter, Elijah Williams and Joe Carter, the best sprinters the university has had in the last decade. In the distances, Parker and Cobbs have it all their way. H. O. Bright has refused to yield to the ravages of time and is still turning in half-mile races around two flat. Stephens, who holds the C. E. A. A. record of 11 feet for the pole vault, expects to better this mark in the Open Championships, while Andy Smith, the Indiana high school champion of the 129-meter dives, is content to bring in a new event, this event, with Howard Warring, James and Jacobs running one, two, three in the 220 low hurdles. The Howard University quarter- mile track, 150-yard straightaway and new jumping pits offer most favo- rable opportunities for new records in both track and field events. The track, which has been recently surfaced with two inches of sifted are very much pleased with the showing of the men. The Sports is a traveling semi-pro outfit.

BUDD CAPPER Best Sport Pages in Greater New York Flood Benefit Here on May 10 Flood Benefit Here on May 10 Laiayette Theatre Presenting One of the Greatest Shows Ever Presented in Harlem The big midnight show for the relief of the colored sufferers of the Mississippi floods will be run at the Lafayette Theatre on Tuesday, May 10. From present indication it will be one of the greatest shows presented on a vaudeville stage in years, and those who attend will have the double satisfaction of helping a most worthy cause and at the same time enjoying one of the finest programs they have ever seen. Since the announcement of this benefit performance, the Lafayette Theatre has been besieged with offers of assistance. The daily accounts of the appalling disaster which is overwhelming both white and colored people in the stricken areas have brought a realization of the absolute necessity of the colored residents of Harlem coming to the rescue of the countless numbers of their fellow men who are without food and shelter. Those representatives of the theatrical world who are donating their services will do all in their power to make the midnight performance on May 10 in a memorable one for all who attend. The entire proceeds of the performance are to go to the work of rescue. The Lafayette Theatre and staff will serve without charge, and it is expected that the expense of advertising, etc., will also be donated. The stage arrangements for this performance are in the care of Irvin C. Miller. The program is only partly made up as yet, as hourly offers are being received. Miller and Lyles, Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, Wilbur Sweatmean's Revue will positively appear. The program will also include feature attractions from "Lucky Sambo," "Gay Harlem," "Connie's Inn," "The Cotton Club" and other colored entertainment. As this goes to press Jack Townsend and Jack McVeigh came in to express their satisfaction over the running of the benefit and to offer their professional assistance. So it certainly looks like a great night and a real subscription to aid the unfortunate victims of the flood. Tickets for the performance are now on sale at the Lafayette Theatre. Our readers are advised to get thelrs at once. Contributions will also be gratefully received.

Africa's New Day FOR the first time in the annuals of its history, the education of the African girl is beginning to receive serious attention. There is also a rising tidal wave of race-consciousness which demands that her education should be one not only adapted to her need but one which will develop her natural heritage of African individuality. Indeed, self-education has come for the training of the African girl of today for the leadership of the African wodmanhood of tomorrow. In this noble and essential work of reconstruction educated African women themselves must play a large share. For the last six months we have had in our midst a refined and cultured exponent of this educational gospel in the shape of Mrs. Adeladee-Casely-Hayford, a native of Sierra Leone, West Africa, who is here in the interests of girl's vocational schools which she founded with much collected on a previous visit to America in the company of her talented and gifted niece, the late lamented Kathleen Easmon Slmargo. Miss Mabel Carney, Professor of Rural Education at Columbia University, who has visited the school, considers Mrs. Hayford "The most outstanding native woman she met during her tour of 20,000 miles' round the African Continent. This little native woman will make her public appear and before the New York public at the International House, 500 Riverside drive, on Monday, May 9, at 8:30 p.m., when a most attractive musical program featuring Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown, Miss Jessie Zachary, Miss Lydia Mason, Mr. Marion Cumbo is expected.

Although thousands of New Yorkers have heard time and again of this great maestro, who is the undisputed king of jazz, few if any in the East have had the privilege of hearing Oliver and his musicians in person. King Oliver has had one of the most romantic careers in the history of jazz, having been the first bandman to create those red hot jazz effects with a cornet which have now become part and parcel of every jazz band in the world. Orchestras and musicians who travel individually and as a unit, regardless of how famous they may be, when in Chicago make a trip to the Plantation Cafe to get SCHOOL OF DANCING Residence Harlen Classes From Office 10 A.

There is hardly a famous bandman in America who has not at one time or another gone considerably out of his way to listen to this super musician. There is hardly a famous orchestra in existence which does not use musical tricks constantly which, we are told, were invented and originated by Oliver. It is, therefore, easy to understand why so many thousands of people are planning to visit the Savoy during the engagement of this band. The Savoy management has informed this newspaper that such celebrities as Paul Whiteman, Vincent Lopez, Lewis, Ray Miller, George Olsen, Ben Bernie and countless others have all signified their intention of welcoming the King of Jazz to New York on his first visit. With Savoy's two super orchestras, Fess Williams' Royal Flush and Chick Webb's Stompers, alternating with Oliver, the battle of music about to burst forth in this vicinity is going to take dance enthusiasts by storm. The admission scale for King Oliver's engagement at the Savoy Ballroom will remain the same as always. We recommend a visit to hear what Chicago has to offer New Yorkers. Herbert A.

Howard came to the Lafayette Theatre yesterday at the head of a company of whirlwind performers for a week's engagement with "Watermelons," a delightful musical comedy. Three long years have passed since this celebrated trio made their last appearance in Harlem, and they certainly got a rousing welcome. The opening-day audience certainly liked "Watermelons." The applause and the laughter that shook the house, as number after number went on, was unusual even for the Lafayette. Judging from the way the audience received the play, "Watermelons" is considered by many better than "11." The cast, supporting Brown, Howard and Smith is exceptionally good: Jim Lillard, Happy Hornes, Sterling Grant, Bertha Wright, Ida Bennett, Rufus Bradley, Clarence Rubischa, George Myrick, Horace Frederick and Al Chester. There is a chorus of sixteen girls, and they certainly can dance and sing. For those who love laughter, beauty and music, this week's program at the Lafayette is particularly inviting. And then, there is the picture, "The Fire Brigade," as powerful a melodrama as the screen has ever produced. At Monday's matinee the audience cheered and sobbed. At one point a man rose in his seat and yelled encouragement to the firemen as they rushed to a fire in an orphanage. Charles Ray and May McAvoy are the stars in this mighty drama. The famous Cotton Club Revue will hold the stage at the Lafayette next week. According to the experts, this is the last word in night club entertainment. Leitha Hill, Ada Ward, Leonard Ruffin, Shirley Jordon, Eddie Burks and other well-known entertainers will "strut their stuff." The Cotton Club Chorus is the most beautiful and best-trained colored chorus in the world. Their work in the present revue, which will be shown at the Lafayette next week, will be a revelation to the剧egroes. "The Show Girl," starring Mildred Harris, Guston Glass and Mary Carr, will be the photoplay feature for the first three days of the week. On Thursday, Friday.

Dorsey are counted. We understand the ballot box will have a story all its own so far as she is concerned. It is not necessary to say Miss Maud Gary will call for an accounting. You may see that from her vote score. Miss Lottie V. Hammond is one of the most consistent workers in the campaign and will be heard from when the final count is announced by the judges. We congratulate Miss Octavia Hart on the way she has added to her vote score. Something big in the wind Take notice, you high-steppers.

FAST GOING BRAVES DROP 2 Nichodemes Was Master of the Situation Until the Seventh After playing brilliantly for six innings and holding their opponents to a 2-0 score, the New York Braves lost out to the New York Evening High School team by the score of 10-5 at Crotona Park last Saturday. Nichodemes pitched masterful ball until the seventh inning, when the school team began to rush their substitutes in. Peterson and Buck Harris did their stuff in noble style in the field. The second setback took place at Dykeman Oval on Sunday, where the Inwood Red Sox lowered the Braves' colors again, this time by a 6-3 score. A home run drive with two on proved to be the winning tallies. However, the Braves played errorless ball, and although they lost, outhit their opponents and had the game in doubt up to the last minute. Next Sunday they will attempt to start a winning streak at the expense of the Opals. EVERYBODY WINS!

Ashby, executive secretary, read a report of the league's varied activities. He said in part: "Our records show that from Nov. 1, 1927 to Dec. 31, 1926 we had 1,054 placements in occupations. In nineteen instances we made openings for Negroes in factories which had never before employed Negroes. When they began they did so in much consideration, but in one instance did the innovation prove unsuccessful. "It was upon our suggestion that Negro nurses were first employed by the Department of Health of this city. In both the tuberculosis department and the child-bearing department Negro nurses are now used." Mr. Ashby told of how the league opened summer block playgrounds for Negro children of this city, and he encouraged students to go and be given yearly summer camp. He pointed out that an outing for children is given in cooperation with the Automobile Club. "You have made remarkable progress in the last ten years," Augustus V. Hamburg, president of the organization, declared, "and today your financial work is carried out." "The trouble with the youth of today is that they start things which they never finish," declared Rossman I. Vail, industrial secretary of the organization, "this is the baseball season and you never heard of any score made when the player died at third base. This organization has scored a home run." We were read from Frank I. Liveright, Edgar S. Bamberger, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Fuld, Richard C. Jenkinson and Major Edmund Hoffman of the Solvation Army regretting their inability to attend.

Success HOW TO ATTAIN IT By ERROL WILLIAMS ONE of the most important factors in business is observation. Without it man goes through life contending against great odds. He is always blundering into difficulties, always losing valuable hours and days of his life, wasting money and energy in pursuits which might be avoided by the exercise of this indispensable faculty. Our Eyes DR. R. J. FOSTER OPTOMETRIST Why So Many People Wear Glasses Today Why do so many people wear glasses today? Have you heard this question? Can it be that our eyes are getting worse as time goes on? No. They probably have been always bad. Thousands of men go through the world without learning or even trying to learn how some men succeed and why others fail. They ascribe success to luck and failure to unavoidable misfortune. Others a little wiser set failure down to lack of education; but this alone is not the cause, for there are many instances of men of the most meagre education who have risen to high positions and even worldwide fame. Lord Byron said: "Studies teach not their own use but there is a wisdom without them and above them won by observation." Successful men are men of keen observation who can take in A little thought brings us to realize to what increased extent we are using our eyes under modern conditions, compared with those of a generation or so ago. This is especially true of those living in cities and engaged in vocations common to city life, either industrial, commercial or professional, as compared to those pursuits in less thickly populated districts, particularly those of agriculture. One properly concludes that in many outdoor vocations there is much less demand of the eyes, but we must realize that the matter whether residing in the cities or in the rural districts and irrespective of vocation, does much more reading than was the practice a few years ago. It was not so long ago that the average rural home could boast of but one weekly newspaper, whereas today rural delivery brings to them not only the daily newspaper, but a large number of newspapers. A wealth of literature is now easily and inexpensively accessible to all. The modern art of illumination contributes greatly to the use of the eye, especially in near work, for there was not the incentive to read by the flickering candle or the comparatively weak light of the oil lamp that there was. The facilities of such cheapness as are found in the average home throughout the land today. No more does the working day end with the setting of the sum, and the eyes enjoy long periods of rest. We have turned night into day. We find no end of relaxation for the mind and body; the eyes scarcely are ever allowed to rest except when closed in sleep. Is this the answer to the familiar query: Why do so many people wear glasses today? The real source of wonder is not that so many people wear them, but rather that so many people manage in some way to do without glasses. Suggestions Egg and Sardine Salad Egg and Sardine Salad Chop the walnut of six hard-boiled eggs and add to them a cup of boiled and broken sardines. Add the juice of an onion, a teaspoon of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Heap in lettuce leaves, put the egg yolks through the ricer over the top of the salad and heap with mayonnaise, made without mustard, and dust with paprika. Artichoke and Pineapple Salad Open and drain a medium-sized bottle of artichokes. Open and drain a small can of grated pineapple. Add a tablespoon each of minced red pepper (those put up in oil) and minced white celery leaves. Add two tablespoons of chopped walnut and enough heavy mayonnaise, made without mustard.

Lord Byron said: "Studies teach not their own use but there is a wisdom without them and above them won by observation." Successful men are men of keen observation who can take in a situation at a glance and act quickly on the impulse of the moment. "Opportunity," says the old proverb, "is a great thing." "The ability to grasp opportunity," says the new, "is far greater." Opportunity comes to all of us when some fall to see it, while others see but ignore it, and others again think they can put it aside for use at a more convenient time. Some profess to seek opportunity, yet lamenting the fact that they never find it and it never comes their way. Others believe they can buy it and so stand in the market place jingling money in their pockets till a sharp witted rogue sees his opportunity and takes it. Others and an opportunity, take hold of it, and carry it to a half-way house where they begin to find it is too heavy for them. But high above these, secure upon their pedestal of constructive success and fame, there stand yet another class who, quick to perceive and make the most of opportunities, have benefited very fondly of races of men. Men who understand what they have to do and it thoroughly. Men who study the age they live in and more especially that upon which their success depends, skilfully adapting themselves to the world's greatest needs. Success was not strained by luck; opportunity came to them as to all men, but had to be reaped and stored by honest toll. rice together and put them in a pan over the fire until the mixture thickens, then remove and stir until smooth. Cook then in the double boiler from the rice is done. Take from the stove, add the ginger, cut in small dice-like pieces the ginger extract, and the egg yolks. Stir this over a brisk heat until the eggs and rice are set. Cool, cut into oblong pieces, dip in frying batter and fry until crisp; drain and serve. Especially good with chicken or game. Ginger Custard Three eggs; one cup milk; one quarter cup sugar; one quarter teaspoon salt; one-quarter cup preserving ginger, cut in small bits; one and one-half tablespoons ginger syrup. Hent the milk, add the eggs, well beaten, then the remaining ingredients, and pour into a groused baking dish. Set this in a pan of water and bake in a slow oven until the custard is set.

Little Bertie Our dear little Bertie was lost one day. We thought that he surely had run away. We searched for him high, we searched for him low. We looked everywhere a baby could go. We looked in the basket, and under the bed; We looked in the parlor, behind the big chairs. We looked in the closet and under the stairs. III We looked in the clistern and into the well; Of all the strange places, I never can tell. But yet to the purpose, we still could not see Where in the wide world little Bertie could be. Half frightened and anxious, with flying feet. We van to the neighbors and into the street. We chanced to glance up at the top of the house. And there on the ridge-pole, as still as a mouse. V Sat dear little Bertie, so cunning and sly. We scarcely knew whether to laugh or to cry. And not till we had him safe on the ground Did we dare to feel sure little Bertie was found. VI How he ever climbed up there, we never may know: Twag a very queer place for a baby to go. But we think the dear God, Who takes care of us all. Sent angels, to guard him, lest Bertie should fall.

MAY 4. 1927 Boy Scout News By Scout Edward Lewis THE SCOUT MOVEMENT. A Scout! What is he? A boy who tries to save the life of people and to preserve harmless animals. He enjoys going on hikes, walking in the dense woods where the flowers and trees are far away from the place called the city. He knows how to cook, to swim, to make a fire like a pioneer, and to start it without any matches, by using his knife and a piece of flint or by rubbing two sticks together in hot fashion. He knows the dangers of forest fires and he tries not to cause them. A fire once started, what a meal he can prepare! Compare the dangers of fires to who catats at a lunch counter. He knows the unwritten law of the camp fire and he contributes his share of fun to the council. He also knows when to be silent and give up. A Scout practices self-control for he knows that men who master problems in the world must first master themselves. He guards his temper so as not to make a silly spectacle of himself. He knows the dangers of fires and the sign of an anaconda and that untruthful shalters the confidence of others. He keeps a close guard on his appetite and eats foods that will make him strong. He does not use alcohols because he does not wish to poison his body, nor does he use tobacco. A Scout never finches in danger for he knows at such a time every faculty must be alert to preserve his safety and that of others. He knows how to panic or shipwreck. He trains his body to act and his mind to direct. In all emergencies he sets an example of resourcefulness, coolness and courage and considers the need to help himself. He is especially considerate of the helpless and weak. A Scout can make himself known to a brother Scout, wherever he may be by a method which only Scouts know. He has brothers in other countries and country in the world. Wherever he goes he can give his signs and be assured a friendly welcome. He can talk with a brother Scout without making a sound or he can make known his message by initial clucking and shrieking. A Scout is kind to everything that lives. He knows that horses, dogs and cats have their rights and he respects them. A Scout prides himself upon doing good and in life he is completed unless he has been of aid to some person. A Scout does not run away or call for help when an accident occurs. If a person is cut, he knows that he is being gently and carefully blinds up the wound. If a person is burned, his knowledge tells him how to alleviate the suffering. If anyone is dragged from the water unconscious, he has the power to restore respiration and circulation. He knows that not one minute can be lost. A Scout knows that people expire at the same rate as other boys. He governs his conduct so that no word of reproach can truthfully be brought against the great brotherhood to which he has pledged his loyalty. He seeks the authority of the respect of the people. He wears his uniform worthily. Scoutmaster Perry of Troop 185 has the following orders for the patrol leaders of his troop: 1. Arrive on time to arrange patrol in proper order. 2. Inspect patrol, take points and teach patrol, in the proper manner, the Scout salute and sign. 3. When the Scoutmaster arrives, or any commissioned officer, call the troop to attention, and he only allows the troop to attend the officer present. If an officer is present, the patrol leader will not give the troop any orders. 4. When in line, the patrol leader will take the place of number 4, his assistant as number 1, in the position of commander, to leave the line. The patrol leader cannot excuse a Scout from any duty when an officer is in charge. 5. A commissioned officer is due respect, no matter what troop or division he calls from. Such reverence is required, and should be administered with the best of your ability. Know New York State Eight Secretaries of War have been appointed from New York State. The first was John Armstrong, appointed by President Madison in 1815; the last, Henry L. Stimson, appointed by President Taft in 1911. In New York State are manufactured 60 per cent of the country's planes, and in New York City alone about 150,000 a year. Seventeen million young forest trees will be planted in New York State this spring. This is a record season's planting for any State. Nearly every other person living in the Empire State now has a savings bank account in one of the largest banking hubs. The per capita average is $222 and the total is $5,655,000,000. The State income tax paid by the people of New York State last month will, it is estimated, total $50,000,000. In New York State in 1926 there were registered 1,815,153 motor vehicles, more than in any other State, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania follow in that order.

AUTO FUNERAL FOR $150 FIFTEEN NOTARY PUBLIC MAGAZINE SECTION Rogers Continues to Write of the Eternal City and Its Past Rogers Continues to Write of the Eternal City and Its Past THERE are so many interesting places in Rome that it will be possible to touch barely on a few in this concluding article. From a historical standpoint the most interesting spot is, of course, the Foro Romano, an enclosure of perhaps not less than a hundred acres, the heart of the old Roman Empire. Approaching the Foro Romano, the first point of interest will be the Carcere Mamertino, or Mamertine Prison, where the Apostles Paul and Peter were placed by order of Nero. It is a gloomy, underground dungeon, entirely of stone, with barely enough room in the cells to stand erect. No one could complain of coddling prisoners in those days. Entering the Foro Romano, which is open free on Sundays and holidays, one sees a vast mass of broken columns strewing the ground, with a few forlorn ones still standing, sometimes held together by bands of metal, and gigantic masses of brick work. All of this it must be explained is not the hardwork of Time, but that of man, who broke down these buildings in order to get the Numidian marble. The Goths and Vandals, it will also be recalled, descended on Rome, smashing everything they could find and giving us the word vandalism. "Negro Has Been Bunked so Long It's Difficult to Distinguish Truth From Hot Air" THERE are certain kinds of bunk for which the American Negro must pray daily to be rid of. This being the case, he must also pray to be rid of the attendant bunk dispensers. It is bad enough that the Negro should be bumcombed by his proverbial enemy, the white man, but when his own honesty to goodness friend, in the person of a colored leader, attemps for general or specific reasons, selfish or just merely talkativeness, to lay on the stuff and to talk him into a coma, we should call a halt. This bunking of the Afra merican has been engaged in for so long a time that the colored brother is at the stage to day where he can hardly recognize sense from nonsense. And the leaders who ought to brush the cobwebs from his thinking bonnet and be in a position to direct his thinking in the right channels have passed up this duty in order to leave the Negro in such a muddled condition meptally as to make him an easy victim and due for the political sleight-of-hand artists. Recently one of these leaders whose claim to the suffrage of the Harlem Negro appears to have been contained in the Holy Writ, and whose incessant candidacy for public office is beginning to assume all of the carmarks of a grotesque comedy, bellowed forth the declaration that he had girded on his armor in a war against the War Department, which had told a colored, boy that he could not be allowed to join with other youths of the land in being given military training at one of the military district camps set aside for that purpose. So vehement did this leader become in his denunciation of the War Department, that it descended in a letter dated April 11, 1927, to deny that it had ever rejected Mr. Burnell because of his color. The department pointed out, however, that it had issued an order dated January 17, 1923, which provided that wherever fifty or more colored men applied to corps commanders for training in the Citizen's Military Training Compass, they should be admitted and treated in the same manner that they are treated in the regular army. They should be housed together. PILGRIMAGES AROUND ROME ROME, Italy. Interesting places in Rome that touch barely on a few in this point the most interesting spot mano, an enclosure of perhaps, the heart of the old Roman Romano, the first point of imamertino, or Mamertine Prison, and Peter were placed by order underground dungeon, entirely high room in the cells to stand plain of coddling prisoners in In this place were no less than a dozen great temples; among them that of Saturn, where the treasures were kept; that of the Empress Faustina, with her name still on the horizontal carving; that of the famous warlike twins, Castor and Pollux; that of Janus, with its double face of Peace and War, giving us the word Janus-faced, or hypocrite; that of the Vestal Virgins, who kept the sacred fires of Rome burning incessantly for more than a thousand years; that of the Empress Julia on the steps of which the body of Julius Caesar was burned after Au- Apple Apple Sauce THERE'S PLENTY OF THE POLITICAL VARETY IN HARLEM By EDGAR M.

How does it differ from the usual policy by the War Department. American Commander in the late engagement at Mobile, a special battalion of black troops be rushed to the scene. According to Teacher's Military Journal, dated August 3, 1957, note that Lieut. Col. Bar Edgar M. Grev which, was established as far back as the Revolutionary War? Let us examine the history of this relationship and see whether there is any difference in the latest declaration by the War Department that colored applicants for training must be Jim Crowed, for if the present policy of the War Department is in harmony with its historical policy in this matter, this being known to all intelligent Negroes of the United States, we can hardly see what all of this row about the Burnell case is about. In a document issued from the headquarters of the Continental Congress and signed by Major Joseph Hawley he stated that: "We must callist as many colored persons as are free to enlist in the cause of our country against the British Parliament and British taxation. For fight we must finally, unless Great Britain retreats and the kind of fighting that shall be necessary will necessitate the assistance of every able-bodied resident of the colonies. We shall by the 5th of October have completed our arrangements for the complete and proper enlistment of available Negroes." During an attack near Crotan River on the 23th of May, 1751, Col. Green was found commanding a battalion of colored soldiers. The War Department wrote to the Governor of Massachusetts, calling attention to a resolution passed In the February session of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island, in which the Massachusetts Government was requested to follow out the suggestion which had been made to General Washington by Brig. Gen. Varnum tenlist into two battalions all of the able-bodied Negroes who could be found. Again under Major Jeffrey at Mobile, Ala., we find a dispatch to the War Department requesting that since General Stump had been successful over the PETER J. BROWN — J. A. Rogers — thony's famous oration; while mightiest of all is that of Venus, part of which was later turned into a Christian church and is still standing. One feels quite a thrill when he recalls that on this same spot once trod Augustus Caesar, who dead and turned to clay, will stop a hole to keep the wind away; the Harlot-Empress, Messalina; Pompey and Catalina; and Cleero, and all the rest. In the hollow at the foot of the hill are the remains of the Forum in which they all held forth. An interesting place nearby. American Commander in the late engagement at Mobile, a special battalion of black troops be rushed to the scene. According to Teacher's Military Journal, dated August 3, 1777, we note that Lieut. Col. Barton of the Rhode Island Militia had organized a special company of Negro soldiers for the purpose of a raid against Major General Prescott in Rhode Island. So much for the Revolutionary War. We do admit that Negroes served in white regiments with the consent of the War Department during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, as body servants to officers and to enlisted men of wealth without rank. This was done with the consent of the War Department, but never has it occurred in the whole military history of the American Negro that he had served in a regiment freely with white men. On September 21, 1814, at Mobile, Ala., General Jackson found it necessary to issue a proclamation in which he told the colored citizens that through a mistaken policy they had not been up to that time permitted to take part in the glorious carriage, but that he was about to recruit special battalions of them and that they should be compensated in the same way that other soldiers were compensated and be officered and commanded by white officers, but that the non-commissioned officers "will be appointed from among yourselves." This proves conclusively that the policy maintained by the Negro at a period when he was unable to help himself was no different from the policy accepted by the Negro after he became free. During the Mexican War we find documents from the War Department directing the special enlistment of colored people in special military units provided for him. In the Civil War, where his most triumphant tests were made, the same policy held good. At Wagner, Fort Pillow, Bull's Run. Gettysburg, we find him fighting in separate units. After the Reconstruction Period colored candidates were admitted to West Point Military Academy. Two of these were graduated, one became disgusted and quit, still another was found with his cars cut off and so badly mangled by his fellow cadets that he was forced to resign. Neither of the officers who graduated from West Point was permitted to serve in white regiments. All of them became white elephants on the hands of the department for the reason that they could send them only to colored troops and this would be in conflict with another policy of the department prior to the World War, which dictated that THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1927 Bu J. A. ROGERS on the outside, is the old Jewish Ghetto, a word meaning out-off, and the forerunner of all ghettoes. It began its existence about 20 B. C., when Pompey brought the first Jewish captives to tome, and lasted until 1880 A. D. Less than 17 years later, however, the Jews had become a power to be reckoned with, as in the case of the Negro, who forty-five years after his desistitute entry into Virginia found himself faced with a law prohibiting his buying white people. (See Hening's Statutes of Virginia, Vol. 1.) On the hill is the Palatine, one of the famous Seven Hills, adorned by the Palaces of the Caesars, now denuded of their costly marble and but great cliffs of brick, from which one may get a fine view of the city. The gardens are still there, with orange trees laden with ripe fruit. Descending again, one finds himself among arches of brick so lofty and spacious that when the Christians came into power they used the space as churches, many of which still bear their decorations In the vicinity is the Coliseum, so grizzled with age that it hardly seems to be the handiwork of man. This structure, which is almost half a mile in circumference, was completed in 80 A.D. by the Emperor Titus, and took the labor of 30,000 slaves, who were all freed. The Coliseum was opened with a performance lasting 100 days, during which several thousand gladiators and wild animals tore one another to pieces. Readers War Department Has Discriminated Against Negroes Since the Revolutionary War colored soldiers should have white officers. In 1916, just a year before America entered the World War, a colored regiment was organized in the State of New York by an act of the Legislature. The following year committees of colored men and women voluntarily went to Washington and requested that Secretary of War Newton B. Baker should establish separate training camps for colored officers. This was at a time when the Negro had the power to dictate on what terms he should enter the United States Army, either as officer or enlisted man. He chose to insist that he be permitted to have Jim-Crow officers' training schools. His requests were at first denied, and after constant insistence by his leaders and spokesmen, on October 14, 1917, he received his first batch of Jim-Crow officers from his own requested Jim-Crow school at Des Moines, Iowa. In August, 1917, Dr. Robert R. Moton insisted that the Secretary of War should employ a Jim-Crow special Assistant Secretary of War to look out for the interests of the Jim-Crowed soldiers and officers in the army and the Hon. Emmett J. Scott was appointed. These American Negroes who protested were howled down and told to mind their own business for we were a Jim-Crow people and were happier when serving in Jim-Crow units. The dignified New England Harvard graduate, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who had established a record for opposition to JimCrow institutions, fell from grace, fell into line and accepted a captaincy from the War Department. His principal service consisted in his writing and publishing in the Crisis Magazine his now famous "Close Ranks" editorial. In it we were told that it was the duty of every American Negro to accept this great JimCrow state of affairs, forget our grievances against the government, put our shoulders to the wheel, help win the war and then be Jim-Crowed some more. All this talk and noise about Negroes being rejected by the War Department from general participation in the benefits of military training at Citizens' Training Camps is not sincere. It is not sincere because those who are howling know that no amount of protest on their part can change a policy on the War Department which has been maintained for over one hundred years and which Negroes have accepted for more than sixty of Quo Vadis will also recall how the Christians were thrown to the lions in the great arena, now but long sections of masonry with great holes between. One feels like going into Ingersollian rhapsodies on seeing the Coliseum, for on the spot on which raged such barbidity and bloodshed are now parties of tourists and children playing hop-scoot. Much of the Coliseum, like that of the buildings in the Foro Romano, was also despoiled to furnish materials for other buildings. Considerable restoration has been done by one or two of the popes. Not far from the Coliseum are the Baths of Caracalla, a structure hardly less imposing than the Coliseum. This bath, which could accommodate more than a thousand persons at once, was also a cultural center, with libraries and art galleries. In several of the pools may still be seen the hot water pipes and the beautiful mosaics. This bath is but one of many. Bathing went out of favor, however, with the Christian regime, and seems to be still out of favor in Catholic Europe, broadly speaking. Many of the early saints prided themselves on the fact that they never bathed, hence the phrase "odor of sanctity." In this vicinity, Via Cercel (Circus street) are the ruins of the Circus Maximus, where the Romans held their athletic games. The stadium accommodated 300,000 persons, almost four times as many as the Coliseum. Those old Romans certain- AFTER MARCUS GARVEY- WHAT "U. N. I. A. Founder Received More National Notoriety Than Any Other Negro" WITH this wide difference the battle between the antagonists became war to the death. Negro newspapers and magazines were filled with criticisms and denunciations of this new and dangerous doctrine. The Garvey Movement became the Garvey menace. This interloper was denounced as a troublemaker, dangerous to whites years, and which they ratified during the last war. If they had been sincere, they should have had the power to break this policy during the World War—a crucial moment in the history of the nation's experience. What they need to do now is to organize themselves into desirable units and seek military education in communities where they will not be Jim-Crowed, and such communities abound in great numbers. In 1905 Adolfo Parras was sent to the United States, along with a group of other Dominican boys from the Republic of Santa Domingo, as pay students to the West Point Military Academy. Upon the arrival of these boys at West Point, the commander there telegraphed the Minister of Dominican Republic at Washington, stating that it was contrary to the policy of the United States War Department to permit Negroes to enter the Military Academy at West Point and to mix freely with white students and that since young Adolfo Parras was unmistakably a Negro, he was forced to ask that his application for entry be withdrawn. When the message was transmitted to the President of the Dominican Republic, he at once telegraphed his Minister requesting that the unit of Dominican boys be directed to take the first steamship to the Orient, where at Tokio arrangements had been made to have them admitted into the Japanese School at Kobe. Fifteen years had passed, the War Department of the United States had rescinded its objection to Negroes, and in 1917 the first contingent of Dominican youths since 1905 were admitted to the West Point Military Academy upon the specific voluntary invitation of the War Department under a President who was born in the South. Incidentally, it was General Adolfo Parras, that very Negro rejected at West Point in 1905 and trained in Japan from 1905 to 1909, who directed the repulse of the American marines at San ly built with a robustness and vastness of conception beyond modern man, but it must be recalled that they had the example of the Greeks, who in turn had that of the Egyptians and Ethiopians. One could go on to write of such interesting places as the old Aqueducts; the Imperial Forum; the Pantheon; the Doria Palace; the Villa Borghese; of San Stefano, the Ethiopian Church built in 450 A. D.; the American Academy; the Rocca di Papa, or Pope's Rock; of Frascati, the suburb in which Cicero lived, and the Palace of the Vatican, where the Pope lives, hence space must be reserved for mention of two of the leading ones: The Catacombs and San Callisto and the Vatican Library. The first are to be found on the famed Appian Way, about two miles from the city. Here was one of the cemeteries of Rome, which was later used by the Christians as secret places of worship. These Catacombs are thirty-two acres in extent, twelve miles in length, and are in three stories, the first-of-which is forty feet underground. Almost all of the tombs were riffed by the Vandals. The place is now under the care of the Trappist monks. One of them, with his shaven crown, long, flowing brown robe and sandals, took us below, after giving each of the party a candle. Unfortunately, I saw little of the place, as I chose the English-speaking group, in which were several American ladies, who asked to be taken out after and blacks alike. His motive and his honesty were impugned. It was strongly urged that he should be deported as a foreigner stirring up strife among native-born Americans. His business transactions became involved in legal tangles. The "Black Star Line" had failed. Charges were filed against him by the Federal authorities for violation of postal regulations in his quest for funds to save the sinking fortune of his ships. trial Garvey lion at bay. disciples beli was persecuted ness' sake technicality or invoked as a feat his racial Upon this charge he was convicted and sentenced to five years in the Federal penitentiary. During the Pedro de Macris in 1916, when the American Marines landed to take possession of his country. This is a great lesson in race adjustment. Between 1905 and 1917 the majority of South and Central American youths were trained in military schools in Japan, Germany, France and England. Last year ten Negro boys were selected by the Russian Government to receive education at its National University at Moscow. They were admitted and are there now mixing freely with the white students from all over the world, who are receiving their education there. One Negro is in the School of Artillery, one on the aeronautic department and eight are in the School of Education. According to such a recent visitor to Russia as William Pickens, who saw them, they are doing excellently well. If the American Negro resents the Jim-Crow policy which is maintained by the War Department, let him use his intellect and not his emotions. Let him collect a select group of colored boys, desirous of receiving military training each year, let him make arrangements with the Japanese and Russian governments for their training and let him dig down in his pockets and pay for their tuition and training in those countries. That would be a greater demonstration of honesty, seriousness and group independence than has yet been demonstrated by the American Negro. If there is any likelihood that the War Department would change its policy towards the Negro, this demonstration of independence would be the thing most likely to bring it about. Japan has advertised on several occasions to the youths of South and Central America the facilities to be found in its military schools. The Japanese and Russian governments are particularly anxious to receive English speaking students in their military academies. Let us stop banking the public and do some honest-to-goodness work on our own behalf. SPECIAL ARTICLES Vatican Library Probably Largest Art Repository in the World they had seen but a small part of it. "Oh," said one of them to the guide, "we'd better go out now. I guess the rest, of the place is just like this." Visiting these historic places is like taking medicine to many of the American tourists, who'd much rather be in a Montmartre cabaret, but come because when they return home they will be able to say they visited them. For the early Christians it was quite a victory—from hunted beings in these gloomy vaults to the rulership of Rome. Peter's vision of a world empire ruled by Christianity had won! As many of the buildings in England have carved on them the name of the king, so here most of the older buildings bear the name of the reigning popes, who in the earliest stages were as much thought of by the populace as the pastor of some two by four colored church is now. But these leaders were usually men of vision, and not afraid to die for their cause. The martyred bodies of several of them once laid in these vaults. Well, there were no fat salaries attached to leadership those days. trial Garvey fought like a lion at bay. He and his disciples believed that he was persecuted for righteousness' sake and that the technicality of the law was invoked as a pretext to defeat his racial objective. His A. E. DEAN KELLY MILLER followers believe that in his zeal to promote a cause which he regarded as holy he became oblivious of the technical letter of the law. No personal wrong-doing was attributed to him by way of improper personal profit. In the eyes of those who believe in him he is, as much a martyr to his cause as Gandhi of India. Both have sinned against the technicalities of the law and must suffer under the law. This is the price which the reformer must reckon to pay when his propaganda is at vital variance with established public policy The Garvey Movement attracted the attention of the nation and caused no little apprehension. There was general feeling that he might lash fury of his followers to an uncontrollable extent. His name was on the tongue of every speaker dealing with racial matters. The nespapers and magazines discussed the Garvey Movement from every angle of approach and point of view. No Negro, not even Booker Washington, ever received such national notoriety. He was regarded as a mountebank, a menace, a puzzle. The Garvey Movement became international in its involvements. The governments of Europe with African colonies or mandates became alarmed at the impression this Jamaican agitator was making upon the minds and imaginations of Negro peoples in all parts of the earth. He admonished Negro people everywhere to throw off white over- The Vatican Library is perhaps the largest repository of art treasures in the world, and one walks through what must be miles and miles of rooms so filled with them that it is almost difficult to fix one's attention on any one object. Nevertheless, one must be arrested by the paintings of Raphael in the rooms that bear his name; the Sistine Chapel, with Michael Angelo's famous painting, "The Last Judgment"; the thousands of books with signatures sent to the popes from America and all parts of the world, one of which is said to contain the names of 33,000 French persons, who declare themselves "ready to suffer and die for the faith," and Nero's bathtub, which is big enough for five persons. Of special interest to me was the Egyptian Room, with one of the finest collections of Egyptian art and statuary in existence. My next article will be from Florence, in which I will also say something of Mussolini and of the every-day life of the Italians. "Garvey's Chief Achievement Consists in His Quickening of Race Consciousness" lordship and assert self-over-eighty. His African Empire sent representatives to the Peace Conference and sought recognition among sovereign nations. Mr. Garvey put governments with colonial control over African territory on notice that their tenancy was temporary only, until the Empire of Africa should arrive to claim rightful sovereignty over its own. He sowed the seed of self-determination in the minds of Negroid peoples in all lands and found it to be a fertile soil. They had caught the suggestion from the words of Woodrow Wilson which few round the world to its remotest hounds and darkest corners. The black heathen in his blindness heard it and was glad. It was, indeed, the gospel of great joy and glad tidings. A Negro bishop to South Africa relates that whenever a white man mistreated a native he would mark the grudge on his stick of remembrance with the suppressed murmur—"You just wait till Garvey comes." The nations were at first inclined to take the Garvey Movement as a joke, but a joke with a deep-seated undertone of seriousness. They all uttered a sigh of relief when it was learned that Garvey had been convicted and placed behind prison bars. No other Negro within the period of recorded history has ever been the object of international solicitude. Mr. Garvey is now serving a five-year term in the Atlanta penitentiary. But prison bars cannot confine the insurgence of his spirit. A weekly encyclical is issued to the faithful from a criminal's cell. His followers are still holding together the skeleton of his organization but they miss the magic and spell of the master. His words issued from his prison house sustain their fagging courage, but the glamour of the Court of the African Empire is gone. The Knights of the Nile and Dukes of the Niger have lost their brief nobility. The hour looks dark for the fate of the Empire of Africa. When the Provisional President has served out his sentence and been released from bonds he may be deported as an undesirable alien. Banished to his native Jamates with his powers pent up by the confines of his little island, held under surveillance by the all-watchful eye of British vigilance, he will hardly be able to function effectively across the sea.

Higgins' motion to acquit Willis James, better known to many in the downtown section as "Messy Kid," who was held on the charge of murder in the first degree on Friday, April 23. James had been arrested and charged with having thrown his wife, Mrs. Mary James, out of the window at their home. 111 Hudson avenue, on Sunday, March 6. This case was fought bitterly by Attorney Higgins, who is regarded as one of the best-known criminal lawyers in the State. It was thought that James would have been convicted, as he has been in trouble before, according to the police, and has the record of being man." The police arrested James after Mrs. Mary Bishop, a neighbor of Mrs. James, had notified a policeman that she saw the body of the woman in the rear yard. Detectives were summoned and, after questioning James, they decided to hold him on the charge of murder. In court James admitted that he and his wife had a fight, but it ended shortly afterwards. Both had been drinking and he remembered that his wife went towards the window, but did not remember her falling out. The District Attorney brought out the fact that, while the neighbors state that they heard no fight in streets, the police were able to find places of the garments of the dead woman on the stairway leading from the second floor, where the couple lived. The dead woman was the daughter of the late "Pop" Williams, a well-known downtown character who for years conducted a rooming house at 357 Bridge street. Another Brooklyn Man Appointed Guard at Sing Sing In James H. Williams, known as "Blesse" to his host of friends, Brooklyn has the distinction of having the second colored keeper in sing Sing and at present the only one there. Williams, who lives at 43 Fulton street, was appointed proudly, along with six white men. Sing Sing is the only penal institution in the State where there is a colored guard. Williams is a native of Brooklyn and a World-War veteran. He is one of the active members of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 of the I. B. P. O. of Elks of the World. The appointment of Williams resalls the appointment of Harry N. Quarles of 510 Classon avenue, which was the first in the history of the State. Quarles resigned recently to accept a business offer. Contrary to reports which had Quarles resigning several months ago, he still remained on the job after a lost revolver incident he was reported to be in. A reporter of The Amsterdam News investigated the case and found that Quarles was in full possession of all credible at the time his resignation was reported. Lay Members' Union Installed Officers April 17 The Lay Members' Union of the annual conference of the A. M. E. Church, Inc. was organized on March 17, 1927, at 317 Bridge street, Brooklyn, N. Y. The following officers were elected for one year Wiley G. Overson, president; St. Clair Edwards, first vice; Gertrude Brawner, second vice; Dr. Allen, third vice; Angela Robinson, financial secretary; Anna B. Barnes, recording secretary; Ethel Lawrence, assistant recording secretary; Frank Brawner, treasurer; H. H. Rhoden, chaplain; Charles Words, servant-at-arms. The installation was held at St. John's Church. Rev. Cumming, pastor on April 7. The Right Rev. William H. Heard presided at the installation. Dr. Lewis was master of ceremonies. A musical program was furnished by Mr. A. S. Bankster. L. J. Reed, real estate operator of Corona, L.

White Man Held for Death of Durham Harvey Le Hosfer, 23 years old, of 5024 Junction boulevard, Elmhurst, was in the lineup at Police Headquarters last Thursday, charged with homicide in connection with the automobile accident that resulted fatally to King Durham on April 1. Detectives Iwella and Kaczynski of the Homicide Squad, who arrested Le Hosfer last Thursday night, said he operated the automobile which struck the aged colored man in Ninth avenue between Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth streets and did not stop. Durham died in Roosevelt Hospital. Brooklyn Women to Aid Charity Local Institutions to Be Beneficiary of New Move Starting May 27 A number of women active in the social, civic and welfare circles of the borough met at the Lincoln Settlement recently and formed an organization which will have for its purpose the giving of one big benefit each year for Brooklyn's principal civic and charitable institutions. Mrs. Julia Dixon Jackson, daughter of the late Rev. William T. Dixon, was elected chairman of the committee in charge of the movement. It was decided that the first effort of the organization would be a benefit at the Academy of Music on May 27. The funds will be divided among the Home for Aged Colored People, N. A. A. C. P., The Big Sisters, and the Women's Charity Club. Miss Laura Brown is chairman of the Aged Horse committee; Mrs. M. X. Alston, chairman N. A. A. C. p. committee; Mrs. Cora Calhoun Horne, chairman of the Big Sisters committee, and Miss E. Alston, chairman of the Women's Charity Club committee. These ladies will be assisted by a committee of ten. There will also be a general committee. This is the first effort on the part of Brooklynites to attempt to give one big affair for its federated charities and civic organizations. Kiddies' Party at Home of Freeport Young Lady A Kiddies' Party was given at the home of Miss-irma Brasier, of Hastings place, on Friday, April 22. The party was given by the girls of the Square Club. The girls were dressed as kiddies, short socks and hair ribbons, which were of all colors. The majority of the boys refused to be little boys. Garden implements and beach pails lent a pleasant aspect to the occasion. A delightful collation was served at twelve o'clock. A delightful time was had by all. Those present were: Misses Dimple Little of New York. Gwendolyn and Evelyn Seaman of Cold Spring Harbor. Madlyn and Dorothy Jones of Freeport. Essie and Bessie Sykes. Helen and Gladys Tredwoll.

Another Utopia Discovered on the African Continent Natives of Liberia are singularly free from the cares that oppress most civilized peoples, declared Mrs. A. L. Parson, a white missionary, during the course of an address before the Women's Missionary Guilds of St. Mary's and St. Anne's Churches, Monday afternoon, April 25, at St. Mary's Church, Classon and Willoughby avenues. She also stated that the natives borrow no cash, nor do they lend any; they spend no money; neither do they earn any. They have no labor troubles and, because of their carefree life, they are all slim and beautiful. The natives live off the crops they raise. Their principal foods are rice and sweet potatoes. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Brooklyn Y. W. C. A. At the Mother and Daughter Banquet, hold last Friday evening, April 29, at Ashland Place Y. W. C. A., about 180 mothers and daughters were assembled. The climax of the evening's program was the election of a delegate for the Girl Reserve conference, to be held in Maline rits summer.

Indictment Charging James Nesbit With Murder of His Wife Dismissed Serious Charge Against Brooklyn Man Successfully Fought by Attorney Higgins, a Leading member of the Bar in the "Church City" James Nesbit, 45, of 1041 Herkimer street, who had been held on the charge of causing the death of his wife, Annabelle Nesbit, had the indictment dismissed in the County Court by Judge Martin a few days ago, owing to the splendid fight made by his attorney, Thomas L. Higgins. The District Attorney alleged that Nesbit, who is a prominent member of the Brown Memorial Baptist Church, had caused the death of his wife on March 21, when he knocked her down and her head struck a heavy piece of furniture. There was no witness to the deed, but Mrs. Nesbit is alleged to have told Celeste White, who lives on the floor above her, about the alleged blow before her death. THE T. S. H.

(Prof. Johnson conducted a chorus of singers before 4,000 white teachers at the University of Texas, Austin, 1926, and was invited by Governor Mirlam Ferguson to sing at the Gov- ernor's Mansion in 1925.) Higginis contended that there was no evidence that Mrs. Nesbit had died from the effects of any blows and pointed out that, at all times during the alleged assault, Mrs. Nesbit was conscious and that, if there had been any contusions, she would have been unconscious at some time prior to her death. If he also stressed the point that Mrs. Nesbit was over 200 pounds in weight, and that, because of her age, she was subject to high blood pressure and other ailments. The court accepted this view and granted the motion for dismissal without submitting it to the jury. Nesbit was arrested on March 28 while he was out making arrangements for his wife's funeral. His arrest was due to a neighbor who overheard the couple in a row. After the row Nesbit, who is a 'longshoreman, is alleged to have gone into the street. The neighbor went downstairs and found Mrs. Nesbit in need of a physician. One was called and, after treating the woman, he left. Afterwards the woman died. The police were called and told of the fight. The Medical Examiner was also called and his autopsy indicated that the woman died from a possible fractured skull and a hemorrhage. Nesbit was reached by telephone and when he returned home he was arrested. Both Mr. and Mrs. Nesbit, who came here about four years ago from Orange, N. J., were active in church and fraternal circles in New Jersey and continued their church activities in Brooklyn. Ask Release of Man From Asylum Charles N.

"I visited the Sunday services at the mosque," Mr. Hoffert continues, "repeatedly, talked with Negro converts and visited in their homes. For the most part they are confirmed believers in Islam.

CHESTER BOYS AT HOWARD Lincoln University Athletes Will Strut Their Stuff in Washington WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2— in a letter of recent date to the management of the Washington Olympic Championships and Interscolastic Track and Field Meet to be held at Howard University May 14, 1927, Robert McCarthy, manager of track athletics at St. Bonaventure College, New York, advises that certain members of his varsity team will compete for the point trophy at the Howard University meet, May 14. The Ottley brothers, who have been cleaning up in print, are pleased to be entered, along with Chris Major, the high jumper, and Gus Moore, the distance man. These make up the stars of the team. Vincent Otley is entered in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and the broad jump, while Jerome Otley is entered in the 220 yard low hurdles and 100 yard dash. These youngsters have been turning in even time in their specialties, and between 22 and 23 feet in the broad jump, which makes them dangerous in their events. Charles Major has already demonstrated that he is one of the best high jumpers in the country, having with Osborne in a recent meet. He is now in exceptional form, having jumped 6 ft. 4 in. in New York City. Gus Moore, the stellar distance runner, needs no introduction. Leon S. Roye, manager of track athletics at Lincoln University, advises that Lincoln will be represented in the Howard University meet. This official announcement clears up certain misapprehensions respecting Lincoln-Howard relationships. With the entry of the Lincoln squad and St. Bonaventure's squad, the Howard meet gives promise of developing into one of the most successful squads in recent years. The large Howard squad will not have things its own way this year. Fast stoppers from northern institutions are sure to split the points, Local athletes who have been counted on as sure firsts are working up a deal of anxiety as a result of the above announcement.

The apportionment now will provide for their blind babies at the rate of 8.50 a day, under the care of the Internats: Sunshine Society, a Philanthropic Newspaper Club, Inc. with headquarters at 96 Fifth Avenue. This has caused much rebuilding all over the State. Blind babies now from birth will be given scientific care and training, that they may be ready for the New York City Institution for the Blind and the State Institution for the Blind for the proper kindergarten age. It will aid them, therefore," said Mrs. Alden, "of everybody who knows to know of a blind baby to immediately report the case that the mother may not lose the assistance the State now offers her." Mrs. Alden declares that the baby needs help from the first day of its blindness, if it is to be kept normal mentally and physically. Every district in this State is represented in the Sunshine Home and Kindergarten by blind bables that have been appointed by the State Board of Education under the State Law. The New York City law provides for the New York City children at the same rate of $1.50 a day. The New York State law regarding the Education and Care of Blind Babies is Article 88, Chapter 163.

Mother's Day As FAR BACK AS 1908 the first seed for Mother's Day commemoration was planted by the Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, of Philadelphia. The next year Miss Anna Jarvis, of the same city, was asked to make preparations for a memorial service in honor of her deceased mother. Then the Sunday schools took up the light for Mother's Day. NOT UNTIL 1914, however, did the United States take national measures in this direction. It was the late President Wilson who issued the proclamation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, and requesting the observance of that day each year thereafter. "GOD COULD not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers," says the famous Jewish proverb. IF SUCH BE true, and since mothers are symbolic of love, patience, hope, all that's pure and noble, it is fitting that we offer public expression of love and reverence for all the mothers in the world on Sunday, May 8.—T. E. B. Don't Call It Love REVOLTING as are the circumstances surrounding the murder of Albert Snyder, the attempt of the erstwhile "lovers" to fasten the instigation of the crime on each other is even more revolting; and all to save what one of them, at last, deprived another of, seemingly, without cause or reason. One could partially condone the brutality of the crime if there appeared to be the slightest love between Ruth Brown Snyder and Henry Judd Gray. THE THING they tried to make themselves believe was love was evidently a base sexual desire, which, in order to the more completely gratify itself, was willing to go to any length—even murder. True jove, no matter how steeped in passion it may be, does not stoop to murder without great cause. It often contemplates the destruction of its own victims with a marked degree of success, causong injury, disgrace and death to innocents; but rarely, if ever, will it point an accusing finger at itself, even with the hope of saving its own life. Self-sacrifice, not murder, is its predominating characteristic. HOW EMPTY their lives must be as they sit — loveless and passionless — behind prison bars, or hear themselves denounced in court, or accuse each other. It makes little difference who instigated the murder plot, Ruth Brown Snyder was untrue to her husband, Albert Snyder, and because of her unfaithfulness her own daughter is now fatherless. Henry Judd Gray, likewise untrue to his wife, and who confessedly invaded another man's home to commit an unwarranted slaying, cringes behind the skirt of his paramour, hoping to save his own life. What should Fate hold for them? EDITORIAL PAGE Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE BEGINNING yesterday the Young Men's Christian Association of New York City started out to raise a fund of six and a half million dollars with which to modernize its work. Out of this amount the West 135th street branch of the association is to receive seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars—which is nearly twelve per cent of the total amount to be raised. At the same time, the Harlem branch is being asked to raise only one hundred thousand dollars—or less than two per cent of the total amount. Stated a little differently: For every two dollars contributed to the fund to modernize the Y. M. C. A. the Harlem branch will receive twelve dollars. Industry vs. Agriculture THAT there is a growing trend in many of the important industrial centers of the North and middle West to force the Negro migrant back into the agricultural fields which he has deserted for the factory cannot be devised. This perilous influence, frequently exerted by unscrupulous employers, who still seek cheap foreign labor in detriment to American workers, was recently reflected by a Northern chamber of commerce, which quietly "round-robined" employers not to hire Negro labor, but to offer each applicant Negro migrant a free railroad ticket back to the farm. THE PRESENT V. M. C. A. BUILDING was erected in 1919 at a cost of $383, 00. since which time the population has increased three-fold—from 70,000 to well over 200,000. The Harlem branch's share of the fund is to be spent for an additional site, another building, or extensive alterations and additions to the present building and equipment. This will make it possible for the boys of Harlem to have adequate club facilities, a separate gymnasium and swimming pool, locker rooms and a dormitory; the men, additional dormitory rooms, larger and improved physical and recreational equipment, larger meeting quarters, a better cafeteria and educational classrooms. The Negro farm deserter, who has turned his back upon the unprofitable hand-to-mouth agricultural life which he has been leading for many a decade in country after country in the Southland, is by no means the only agricultural compatriots who are fleeing the soil to enter motor works and steel mills. The Negro farmer, however, has had twice as many reasons to seek a change as has the white farmer. Denied farm credit, harassed by mortgage-holders, being victimized by profiters, and facing uneven economic competition by reason of educational, marketing and gross discriminations, the Negro farmers alone have been facing the devil on one side and the deep blue sea on the other. DO THE BOYS AND MEN of Harlem need these things? There can be but one answer, for the young men and boys of the community, denied many of the opportunities open to white youths for economic, physical and spiritual advancement, are more susceptible, and turn more readily to unworthy careers and should be surrounded with every facility possible — physical and moral—which has for its purpose the making of better manhood. Harlem should quickly subscribe its share of the fund. It is no wonder that he has felt the urge to lay down the shower and the hose to seek the pick and the wrench and the fiery furnace of industry at a wage which would insure him against gambling for bread and meat and rent money. What is the wondromet of the age, however, is the fact that not a few of the white industrial giants, who ought to be glad to be able to hire simon-pure American labor, have first sought to turn the cold shoulder to the Negro worker, the they really wish to have done. They try and back to the farm in favor of Mexicans, Canadians and "humkies," they ought to take first-steps to capitalize Negro farm life, just as they have capitalized Southern industrial life, which offers but scant opportunities to the Negro. It is more than a case of making the Negro engage in industrial rape, pumping water and digging an integral factor. American life and American industry. This will eventually be done——WHY NOT DO IT NOW? Fisk and Graduate Education Because no educational institution in the South now gives Negro students graduate training in law, business administration or education, if Fisk University is enabled to collect a faculty and mould a curriculum for graduate work, Negro education in America will enter the most remarkable period of development since its beginning. Ante-Bellum Stuff EVERY now and then with a Negro, still possessed with the antebellum spirit, will preach of the South as the ideal home for the man and that the Southern white man Is the Negroes' best friend The administration of Fisk University, sensitive many years to the growing demands for colored men and women with advanced degrees, has decided to place in the heart of the South this opportunity which has heretofore been the privilege only of those few who could study in the Northern universities. News comes from Memphis, Tennessee, that such a type of Negro, in addressing a small audience of our group, said: "The South is the natural home of the Negro and the Southern white man has always been our best friend."—Do our best friends lush us? The effect of this action will be far reaching, Southern high schools, normal schools and colleges, now expanding and progressing, may realize their long-felt desire and need, that of men and women trained in the vigorous demands of graduate study. Even if the climatic conditions of the South are best suited to the perpetuation of the type of Negro to which this J. J. Higgs seems to belong, there are other conditions that offset it. One is the animosity and seeming hatred of the Southern white man. The Southern Nordic is evidence of friendly feeling toward us, we might are better if he wore loss friendly. Fisk University, because of its geographical position, its tradition for high scholarship, thorough training and splendid culture, may logically look forward to the hearty endorsement of this plan by students, educators and an interested public who await this signal of a new development. There are two motives that might prompt one of our group to make such statements; one is the honest-to-government feeling of the old style, ante-bellum Nerm, whose soul has not been purged of the belief that slavery was not so bad after all, as it brought the Nerm from the dark continent of Africa to the white man's civilization in Christian America, to be enslaved and burned at the stake occasionally. The other motive is thepledge born of the Grand United Christian Order of K, K, K. In other words, to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage. Such men are the Judasias of the race. Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, newly inaugurated president of the university, who is now traveling in the interest of this institution, may well expect the enthusiastic support of Negro men and women everywhere. He calmly and deliberately undertook to head a Fisk University burdened with an overwhelming debt and called upon the Negro race to combine its efforts and interests to save the institution. He asked for a hundred thousand dollars from the Negroes, and now that they are responding, he has with characteristic daring and faith announced this pledge to the race—a pledge to build for them a school of higher learning. This would-be organizer of a religious and educational bureau for the promotion of a better feeling between the races urged his hearers to "stop grumbling and get to work; to lay down undue suspicion and to respect everybody." He tells us also to be polite to white folks, and "God and nature will bless us." This may be ethical admonition, but it is very impractical. Passive submission has been our failing ton; let us be up and doing. "Who who would be free, himself must strike the blow." At no other time has the Negro race had such an opportunity to combine its efforts in a program promising such far-reaching results. At no other time has a hundred thousand dollars appeared so cheap as now when it may emancipate Fisk University from debt, protect her with a million dollar endowment, and pave the way for a graduate school. We subscribe to this program and predict for Fisk University every success.—Contributed. BY CHARLES H. WESLEY. Published by the Vanguard Press. Inc., 80 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price 50 cents. PROFESSOR WESLEY'S monograph is a scientific and historical survey of the progress of Negro labor in the United States since 1850. Beginning with the plantation system of the South and its attendant necessary condition of slave labor, the book follows the Negro through the Civil War and the reconstruction period to his place in modern industry. The idea of the Southern agricultural system was to keep the Negro a farm-laborer; but long before the Civil War certain black freedmen of the South had sought and found employment in the industries. These had proved themselves capable workmen, and had refuted the old argument that the Negro could not be successful at skilled labor. When, following the war, the big plantations were broken up, and thousands of slaves found themselves, theoretically at least, free, numbers of them turned toward the factories. White laborers resented the enclosure of black: the two races could not work together; and there were few capitalists who would hire black laborers. Riot ensued; but the Negro continued to establish himself in positions requiring skilled labor in spite of race prejudice and the difficulties rising out of his own lack of early training. "Between 1870 and 1890 the economic life of the South was transformed. This section was changed in various places from agricultural communities to industrial communities." The period of transition was not an easy one for the Negro. Immigration overstocked the industries with foreign labor; French, Italian, and Irish were preferred to colored workers. Early attempts at organization were frustrated by "politics, racial barriers, and misguided leadership." The least difficult things to do were to go back to farming or to create another problem by accepting unemployment Progress toward skilled labor, however, went on. The industrial schools of Hampton and Tuskegee had begun the work of training Negroes, those in sympathy with the movement being convinced that the chief need of the colored population lay in "industrial training and lessons in thrift and industry." The fight went forward into the new century. Opportunity did not come until the World War shut out immigration and lack of workers forced the new war manufactories to open their doors to Negro labor. Impetus to the movement: Following the war, literally thousands of the colored people of both rural and urban districts of the South migrated North to the manufacturing centers and found employment there. Report is that one-seventh of the labor of the United States is today performed by Negroes. The work of complete labor organization has not yet been completed; nor have the attendant crises growing out of so much transfer of population been settled; but the progress of the last twenty years holds a prophecy for the future. Professor Wesley's book is comprehensive, and his facts, supported by bibliographies, appendices, and statistics, should be of great value as sources to anyone approaching the subject of Negro labor. The work is unbiased, and its scientific viewpoint does not make less absorbing the story of the struggle of "persons of color" to free themselves from circumstances thrust upon them by a tragic and lamentable state of society. After Garvey? (Continued from Feature Page.) it might be profitable to consider the present and future effect of this hectic movement upon the Negro race and upon the permanent relations of the black and white races. The chief achievement of Marcus Garvey consists in his quickening the sense of race conspicuously and self-dignity on the part of common people among black folks all over the world. The effect of all the movements which have been launched by the intelligentia among Negroes is that they have never been able to penetrate below a certain level of social grade. They do not reach the common people or stir their imagination. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with its capable and consecrated leadership, so far has been able to make no great impression on the heart and imagination of the proletariat. But Garvey arouses the zeal of millions of the lowest to the frenzy of a crusade. Mr. Garvey is by no means the only Negro ansposte of the return LETTERS of the exiled Africans to their mother continent. The African Colonization Society, in the early years of the nineteenth century, established Liberia as the home of Afro-Americans so soon as they could be freed. Many of the best minds of the nation, including Abraham Lincoln, believed that the American Negro could build up his fortune best in his native land. Many leading Narroses of that day found themselves in harmony with this scheme of repatriation. Some forty years ago Dr. Edward W. Blyden, a West Indian Negro who migrated to Africa in the wake of this Liberian movement, became an ardent advocate of the race to the land of the fathers. His famous scholar depended in the main on the good offices of the white men imbued with the missionary spirit to support and encourage this great enterprise. Bishop H. M. Turner, of the A. M. E. Church, sometime Bishop to Africa, became a powerful advocate of the African redemption. Various missionary societies for centuries have been operating in Africa but have made little headway in lighting up the dark continent. Now comes Marcus Garvey, if not with a new principle, at least with a new programme. He must raise independence, raise efficiency and increase clenility for the reclamation of Africa through political, industrial and social conquest. He believes that philanthropy paralyzes the energies of the black peoples of the world and pauperizes their spirit. He has an unfaithable faith in the possibilities of his people. No greater vision has ever haunted the human mind. The accomplishment of the dream is worth a thousand years of the united endeavor of mankind. It is impossible to conceive of any task which will incur to greater advantage to the human race. (The End) MUSIC Watsons in Recital A few faithful music lovers braved the inclement weather last Wednesday evening to attend a recital at the Bethel A. M. E. Church by Andrew Watson, tenor, assisted by Winifred Watson, soprano. The program, though not necessarily exacting, provided solidity and variety and gave the singers their ability in the ballad, folk song, oratorio and operatic selections. Mr. Watson sang well notwithstanding, his modest natural gift. With further study, particular attention to one quality, diction, intonation and evenness of scale, his work should prove more than enjoyable. Mrs. Winifred Watson, with her pleasing stage presence and good natural voice, gave her hearers some enjoyable moments. Her especially good numbers were Novello's "Little Damozel" and Mater's "No EI Ver." Miss Lydia Mason accompanied admirably at the piano. Clark-Kerr Joint Recital The New Renaissance Hall was the scene of a violin concert by G. Errington Kerr, assisted by Carrol Clark, baritone, on Thursday evening. Mr. Kerr's program, beside being interesting, included some numbers that would do credit to any violin artist. The well-known Bach "Chaconne," the Paganiin "Caprice," No. 24," and the Saint-Saens "Rondo Capriccioso" were the highlights of the evening. Mr. Kerr deserves great credit for his violin attunements. Few Nego violins ever advance far enough to be attempted some of the numbers used in Mr. Kerr's program. Still his tone was small and cold and intonation occasionally poor. This was especially noticeable in the Bach, Paganiin, and Saint-Saens numbers. The Kreisler "La Chasse" and Porpora "Minuet" were delightfully refreshing and well-played. Carroll Clark, baritone, was best in the two spirituals which he wisely substituted for an Italian and French song. Ramon Doro Toro provided splendid piano accompaniments for Mr. Clark. U. C.

The New Negro Art Theatre (Sekondi Players) has announced This Maytime is springtime, and it is a good time to look, also, into the mental makeup of your children. Physically, they may be healthy. But what about unhealthy tendencies of their growing minds? Are you having this month an old-fashioned, heart to heart talk with your boys and girls to learn what they are thinking about, to find out who their companions are and where they spend their hours of recreation? Are their minds developing in the right direction? Each year over 200,000 children are brought before the juvenile courts. Criminal tendencies are prevalent among the youth of our country before the age of 21. In the best of families, children are developing unhealthy mental attitudes. These faults if uncorrected may produce serious results. It is better for a parent to take more time with its child at home, and become its friend, than for the child in the near future to need a friend in court. There are two types of unruly children. First, the unrestrained, emotional type. These children are impetuous, impulsive, overwild, superstitious, timid and worried. The second type is the restrained emotional child. In this type we find the child reticent, obstinate, dull and overconcious. In these two types we find most of the naughtiness, disobedience and tempers of children. We present cases in and out under which their child falls. Correct quickly any outburst of emotionalism, whether it be of the first or second type. The faulty types of behavior if not quickly corrected will develop in the child permanent characteristics of emotional instability, lack of inhibition, absence of will, enslavement to impulse. This correction can only be performed by the larger training and correction must be accomplished in the home. Parents should not always try to make life's pathway too easy: teach the child the "game" of overcoming obstacles, and the moral grandeur of overcoming temptation. Each time he wins in this game it is a point to his credit in final success. Let your child know and feel that he or she must win in the game of life, and to do so he must have the proper knowledge, the proper physical powers. He or she must be able to overcome evil, persistently perform the assigned work or duty and develop self-control. This is springtime. Renew your energies in the proper cultivation of the mind and body of your child. In the future you will enjoy the harvest. its program at the Triangle Theatre, Seventh avenue, between Eleventh and Perry streets.
