Nothing gives me more pleasure than to pay this tribute to John Brown. declared the veteran lawyer, Charnese Darrow, on the evening of the birthday of the hero of Harper's Perry, speaking in Town Hall here today as the orator for the John Brown Memorial Association, an organization founded by Negroes to do honor to the memory of the martyr. Recently in the columns of The Crisis, a magazine published in the interest of the darker races, Mr. Darrow stated: "John Brown was right; he was an insturment in the hands of a higher power. the radical of today the conservative of tomorrow and other martyrs take up the war. the dumb and stupid social plants its weary feet upon the slimmy sand soaked by their blood." To date, over $1,000 has been raised in order to award a monument to the deceased at the grave of John Brown by the John Brown Memorial Association.

SIXTH PRIZE WINNER Lula Robinson Jones Abbie Mitchell's Mother Dies Succumbed to Cancer Early Yesterday Morning Fighting for life with an indomitable will through a period of three years of intense suffering from cancer and deafness, and recognizing only her daughter, Mrs. Alice B. Payne, mother of Abbie Mitchell, yielded to the inevitable at one o'clock yesterday. Mrs. Payne, who was half-blind, was 74 at death, which came at her home, 272 West 115th street, where she has lived for thirty years. After three days' unconsciousness, the end came peacefully and painlessly. For seven weeks the physician was obliged to administer morphine to the patient to alleviate her agony, which has been most intense during the last year and a half. Mrs. Payne's illness began four years' ago, at which time her daughter had just returned from Europe. For the last two and a half years Dr. Marshall E.

Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order Elks of the World, has promised to transmit to the grand trustees of the order the briefs filed with him by the legal committee, which investigated the legality of holding the convention in New York City recently Wilson made his statement in a speech at the state convention of the Pennsylvania. Elks held last week in Philadelphia. The grand exalted ruler declared that he had no personal wishes in the matter and that he would be guided entirely by the decision of the grand trustees. PREJUDICE, SAYS DR. OLIVER. Dr. Hudson J. Oliver of this city, chairman of the general convention committee, who was present at the Pennsylvania State Convention, the guest of Judge Edward C. Henry, also spoke. He was called on before the head of the order and in his remarks Dr. Oliver said that New York was prepared in every detail to entertain the grand lodge for its twenty-eighth session. "If the grand trustees declare New York unable to hold the coming convention," said Oliver, "it will be because of the personal prejudice of someone in the grand lodge." The home of O. V.

FISH PLEADS FOR BILL'S SUPPORT Tells Members of Appomattox Club New York Negroes Should Lead Tells Members of Appomattox Club New York Negroes Should Lead Praises Valor of Four Regiments He Would Honor by Erecting Monument on Battlefield in France Making a fervid plea for the Negro's whole-hearted support in his own self-interest and self-esteem, as he spoke before a meeting of the Appomattox Republican Club of the Twenty-first Assembly District, 108 West 136th street, Wednesday night, Hamilton Fish, Jr., Congressman from the Twenty-sixth District of New York, decried the Negro's apparent indifference to the passage of a bill authorizing Congress to appropriate $30,000 for the erection in France of a monument to permanently commemorate the gallantry and bitter sacrifices of Negro combat troops of the Ninety-third Division during the World War. Major Fish served for over two years with the 369th Regiment, the old Fifteenth Infantry of New York. OKEH LIZZIE MILES Sings Two Great Numbers in her rich contralto, with piano and cornet accompaniment. OKeh Record No. 8456 Grievin' Mama Blues Slow up Papa TWO In concluding his remarks, Congress Fish reminded his audience that the Negro's victory lay in political achievement, and that he should remain loyal to the Republican party, within whose ranks he should conduct a vigorous and effective program of self-interest and self-determination, and thereby become a power to be reckoned with. "Negro Republicans of New York," he said, "should assume leadership of Colored America. There is no reason why you should not have Negro congressmen. Get representation on the commissions and you will be heard from. The Negroes of Chicago, with less potential voting strength than you, should be taken as a good example to follow. You must organize, for without organization you will simply be used for temporary advantages by both parties." A resolution was adopted and passed authorizing a communica- lion—which was read to the audience—to be sent to Charles P. Hillies, chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee of New York, wherein attention was directed to the decline of the Negro Republican vote and power in the gubernatorial year of 1920; and it was asked that "to the greatest extent possible colored Republicans should be permitted to administer their own affairs, it being quite certain on the record that external management is not productive of proper results." Major Fish was introduced by Colonel Charles W. Fillmore, who also served with the old Fifteenth Infantry. The high lights of the remarks of Major Fi-h, who is a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, were as follows: "The Battle Mountain Campaign Therefore, the 360th, 370th, 371st and 372nd regiments were formed into the Ninety-third division, and a separate appropriation asked. Five reasons were given for having the bill passed: (1) To eliminate segregation by giving the Negro just and equal recognition. (2) The Ninety-third division fought at the front for six months and suffered the greatest number of casualties per effective of any one division. (3) They saw longer service at the front than any other American troops. (4) The sector in which they fought should be commemorated and identified by a monument. (5) They were the only permanent American division fighting with the French, using French equipment exclusively, except their uniforms. The Ninety-third division of the American Expeditionary Forces was comprised of the 369th volunteer regiment from New York, the 370th volunteer regiment of Chicago, formerly the Eighth Illinois, the 371st, a drafted regiment, and the 372nd, composed of separate battalions from Ohio. District of Columbia, Massachusetts and Maryland. Three of the regiments were decorated with the French War Cross. There were 457 killed and 2,468 wounded, or 40 per cent of effectives out of a battle strength of 10,000. Three men out of every four received the Croix De Guerre. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives April 28, 1826, by a vote of 227 to 116, but it countered a Southern Democratic filibuster when it reached the Senate, where it met its death. Major Fish said he regretted the opposition to the bill from Negroes in Pennsylvania, especially Pittsburgh, and the indifference shown in Eastern Pennsylvania. "Ninety-nine out of every hundred Negroes are in favor of this monument," said Major Fish, "but unless I have the absolute suppor of every Negro newspaper, the Negro voters and their political clubs, both Democratic and Republican, especially in Pennsylvania, I NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1927 LOWEST FURNITURE TERMS IN AMERICA The Michigan Guarantee of Life-long Service Is Your Assurance of Complete Satisfaction Michigan Our Big Bronx Store Is Always Complete with the Choicest Furniture at Less!

With Mrs. Rose Smith, a well educated and attractive white woman, the two men had pleaded guilty to three holdups. The men were given eight years each on one charge and five years apiece on each of two other charges, making a total of eighteen years. The sentences are to run consecutively. Judge Ossing deferred sentence of the woman when she said she desired to consult an attorney. In confessions to the police, the woman, who declared Smith was not her real name, admitted participating in eight recent holdups with High and Smith, her companions. Stabs Man, Says He Annoyed Her Stabs Man, Says He Annoyed Her Louise Brown, 21, 236 West Sixty-second street, today awaits hearing on charges of larceny and assault, growing out of the alleged theft of $60 in cash from Fred Matson, white, 2070 Fifth avenue, a carpenter. Denying both charges, the woman says Matson had annoyed her on the street. Miss Brown was held without bail on the larceny charge, and in $1,000 bail on the assault charge by Magistrate McQuade in Harlem Court on Monday, when Matson appeared in court, his head swathed in bandages, and declared that Miss Brown had slashed his scalp, face, ears and neck with a sharp instrument he believes was a knife. Matson said that Miss Brown ac- costed him in front of his home and followed him, after a conversation, into the hallway. He declared that when he sought to transfer $60 in cash from one pocket in his trousers to another, she grasped the money and when he reached for her, stabbed him. He had to be treated by an ambulance surgeon from Harlem Hospital. Miss Brown denied taking the $60 and said he was hurt in the scuffle when she sought to protect herself from his advances. Matson is a six-foot, broadshouldered man and Miss Brown is a diminutive woman.

"I hope that the public will continue to support this splendid newspaper, which in my judgment is doing more for the enlightenment of the masses of our people than any newspaper now being conducted in the interest of the race.

Donnelly, white, 27, 523 West Forty-sixth street, was sentenced to five days in the workhouse by Magistrate Smith in Night Court, Thursday night, on the charge of Fitz. Herbert Moore, 305 West 149th street, that Donnelly had struck him during an altercation on an elevated train. Moore said he was on a crowded train on the Sixth avenue elevated line, between the Thirty-third street and Thirty-eighth street stations, when Donnelly pushed him, then berated him and finally struck him. The side of the case presented by Donnelly was that he had just offered an aged woman his seat when Moore insulted him and started a dispute during the course of which Donnelly had to hit back in self-defense. Moore said that Donnelly, while in the train, had announced himself as being from Missouri and had informed him of the manner in which persons who venture to insult whites are treated down South. Finding Donnelly guilty of a charge of disorderly conduct, Magistrate Smith gave him the alternative of a $10 fine or five days in the workhouse. Donnelly was unable to pay the fine. DIES IN FALL.

IMMEDIATE RESULTS EVERY young girl and woman will be fascinated by this new beauty bath secret-a secret that comes to America from Paris. Just think of stepping into a bath like rich cream, using your favorite soap, then stepping out and finding that your skin has a "feel" like the down on a pansy petal. This sounds almost too good to be true-or if true, probably too expensive. BUT IT IS TRUE-the results are immediate and the cost is insignificant. You'd never believe that such an inexpensive beauty bath could produce such instant, enriching results. Merely dissolve two or more handfuls of Linit in the bath bathe in the usual way, step out and dry off—and then feel your The fact that LINIT is sold by all grocers as a high class laundry starch and is also recommended for use as a remarkable beauty bath, may seem rather far-fetched to some women—however, the statements made above are not mere claims but are backed by leading chemists and dermatologists, and the use of LINIT as a beauty bath is a common practice among fashionable women and cinema stars. Regardless of all this—you are the judge of whether a LINIT bath will give the results as stated above. LINIT is so economical that at least you should give it a trial. Let the results speak for themselves. Merely ask your grocer for a package of LINIT and follow the above suggestions A skin—soft and satiny smooth! This soft satiny "finish" comes from a thin coating of Linit left on the skin which is invisible to the naked eye. Makes Powder unnecessary EVERY woman is aware that she uses too much powder and that when she does, her pores often become clogged and blackheads may form. Linit leaves just the right amount of powder on the skin without clogging the pores. You will notice that Linit adheres well-never comes off on the clothing - eliminates shine on the face and absorbs perspiration. THREN RETI Linit, when added to the bath produces a creamy "feel" to the water which makes it less irritating in cases of certain skin diseases. Results Are Immediate THE outstanding attraction of a Linit Bath is the fact that the results are immediate. You need not wait weeks for some sign of improvement in your skin-simply swish two or more handfuls of Linit into your tub, bathe, and immediately you sense an entirely different, supple softness in your skin. Why Linit is perfect SKIN is like a fine fabric. Fine, gritless preparations should be used that are free from hard mineral particles. Starch from corn, the main ingredient of Linit, is such a preparation harmless and pure, and being a vegetable product it contains no mineral properties to irritate the skin. Dermatologists and doctors regard its purity so highly that they generally recommend it for the tender skin of young babies.

The State Legislature, which adjourned its regular session last Friday, set a precedent for all States which maintain separate schools by passing a law granting State aid to students who, because of its constitutional provision prohibiting the education of colored and white students in the same school, must go outside of the State to pursue courses of study which the State provides for white students at the West Virginia University. FOUR WEST State Legislature R Equalize Educat To Pay Partial Tuition of R to State University — Only Negr CHARLESTON, W. Va. maintains her place in the frer eral policies for the advanceme State Legislature, which adjou Friday, set a precedent for a arate schools by passing a li dents who, because of its coo ing the education of colo same school, must go outside of study which the State prov West Virginia University. Under the provisions of this law, residents of the State who have completed a four-year high school course in the State or, in lieu thereof, have resided in the State for five years and who have pursued two years of college work in one of the State schools provided for Negroes, will have their tuition and fees paid in universities outside of the State in sums equal to the difference in the amounts paid by State students and those from other states who attend the West Virginia University. The Advisory Council to the State Board of Education, composed of the State Supervisor of Negro Schools and two members, all Negroes, which assists in formulating policies and governing all Negro educational institutions in the State, acting jointly with the State Board of Education. is empowered to prescribe rules and regulations for the administration of the law and to pass upon the qualifications of students applying for State aid. The State aid bill, as originally introduced, was written by T. Edward Hill, director of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics, in response to the wishes of Negro leaders of the State who are striving to equalize educational opportunities of Negro students with those of white citizens.

House of Delegates, E. Howard Harper, of McDowell County. The Committee on Education, of which Mr. Harper is not a member, reported the bill out and it came to roll call on its passage in the House without a voice raised in opposition. Just before the beginning of the roll call, Mr. Harper made a speech against it on the grounds that its enactment would send an enormous amount of money outside of the State and cause hundreds of Negroes to come to this State to receive its benefits. His attack was so unexpected that everybody was both surprised and astounded. Out of deference to his wishes the Republican floor leader had the bill referred back to committee for amendments to remove what was supposed to be the grounds for Mr. Harper's objections. The bill remained in committee until five before adjournment. Mr. Harper offered no amendments. The Committee on Education wrote a substitute for section one, which prescribed the conditions under which aid should be granted those eligible and the approximate amount in an effort to meet his objections. When it finally came out, Mr. Harper did not vote for it. So strong were the demands of Negroes from all sections of the State for the passage of the bill that the Republican leaders put it through as a matter of policy. An effort was made by leaders to get the bill amended in the Senate restoring the provisions eliminated in the House but, it having reached the Senate only three days before adjournment, the sponsor of the measure in that body feared that if an attempt were made to HIGHTOW (Beauty questions of popular interest.

Morrow of Kentucky, a member of the United States Board of Mediation, and W. P. Mitchell, statistician of the board, investigated last week the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in connection with the demands for increased wages, reduction of hours and modification of working conditions. The examination was to determine whether the Brotherhood includes more than half of the sleeping car porters of the country. If they find that it does include more than half, the board will be able to deal with the Brotherhood as the representative of sleeping car porters in the wage negotiations.

Mass. May 7. The Negro undertakers of Boston and vicinity are boycotting the Boston Chronicle and the Guardian, two local Negro weeklies. What is a virtual strike, in labor union terms, of the undertakers' organization against the two papers was revealed here this week, when it was learned a meeting of the morticians was held Thursday evening, at which indignant protestations were made against what was termed unethical advertising of a local white undertaker in Negro papers and the refusal of the papers to discontinue the ad or have the white undertaker change statements of prices, which it is claimed he is unable to meet.

The drastic action was decided upon at the meeting where the nine funeral directors were present and subsequently their advertisements did not appear in the week's issues of the two papers. Negro undertakers have complained because certain white undertakers were burrowing half the Negroes who die in Boston. Conditions grew from bad to worse, the undertakers alleged, and when the white undertaker in question per- sisted in making his bid for colored patronage by advertising cut rate funerals in Negro papers, and the papers refused to heed the protestations of the morticians, the climax was reached. The undertakers read their ultimatum and the papers accepted their challenge. The papers contend that the funeral directors are overleaping NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1927 thems bounds with presumptuous attempts to dictate the kind and class of newspaper advertising they should carry. They could not legally exclude advertising on account of color even if they had a mind to do so. The problem is perplexing and might extend to other lines of business than the burying of the dead should such a policy of exclusion be adopted by the papers, the editors hold. "It is not the white firms advertising in the Negro papers against which we protest. It is statements in the ad, claiming burials at a cost the undertakers' association knows cannot be done. The statements are unethical and bogus advertising publicity and the newspapers are particeps criminals when they carry misleading advertisements to the reading-public," said Basil F. Hutchins, dean of Negro undertakers of Boston, and president of the organization. Members of the funeral directors' organization who withdrew their ads are: Basil F. Hutchins, Clarence H. Adams, G. H. P. Ganaway, Thomas M. O'Brien, John A. O'Brien, J. Bratton Wright, Everton L. Morrison and W. B. Reed.

Little Rock Mob Lynches Youth Had Been Accused of Attacking a Mother and Her Daughter LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 9- The body of a man who had been hanged and riddled with bullets for an alleged attack upon a white woman and her daughter early last Wednesday was later the same day dragged behind an automobile through the main street of the city and then saturated with gasoline and burned at one of the principal business corners in the colored section while thousand of persons looked on. As the flames leaped into the air, the firing of guns mingled with the cries of women and children fleeing from the scene The victim, John Carter, 22, surrounded by a mob numbering several thousand men, who found him in a tree after an all day search, is said to have confessed that he had attacked Mrs. B. E. Stewart and her 17-year-old daughter, Glennie, with an iron bar as they rode along the road near the city in a wagon that morning. The mob sent for Miss Stewart and waited for her to arrive. She was said to have identified him as the man who attacked her, after which Carter was led to a pole, a rope fastened about his neck. Told to climb on top of an automobile, he tried, but was too frightened or too weak. He was then pushed atop the car and it was driven from under him. As his body swung in the air he was riddled with bullets from a pellet. Another mob atrocity was threatened here early last week following the finding of a girl's body in the belief of a church and the arrest of Lonnie Dixon, aged 16, who was accused of the crime.

RUTH WHALEY AT THE SQUARE CLUB Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaley, an attorney, spoke Sunday at the monthly meeting of the Prince Hall Square Club held in the rooms of the Association of Trade and Commerce. She spoke on the menace and suppression of lynching. Defies Magistrate to Sentence Him Defies Magistrate to Sentence Him Cools Off and Is Given Suspended Sentence After defying the magistrate to sentence him, Marshall Hackett, 234 West 121st street, was placed in a corner to cool off. During his arraignment before Magistrate Brodsky in Helights Court Saturday, Hackett ranted and raved while protesting his innocence of the charge of stealing furniture alleged to be owned by Annie Turner, 2469 Eighth avenue, and placing it in storage. The situation grew out of Hackett's discharging one Joe Turner, who was employed as a janitor by Hackett and who lived in the basement of 27' West 121st street, where Hackett is superintendent and owner Hackett testified, that Turner brought the furniture to the basement when he first employed him. He fired Turner because of intoxication, he said, and the furniture disappeared later. The signature on the bill of lading for the storage of the furniture, Hackett said, is a forgery. Mrs. Turner had accused Hackett of entering her apartment with a pass key, removing the furniture, and having it put in storage. Evidence and testimony in the case pointed toward Hackett's innocence, and Magistrate Brodsky gave him a suspended sentence.

Philip Randolph, editor of the Messenger Magazine, and general organizer of the Sleeping Car Porters' Union, declared that white men had been held chattel slaves in America as well as Negroes, but white slaves freed themselves long before Negroes were freed, because they organized through labor unions to fight the evil. The Rev. C. A. Ward, pastor of the church, introduced the speaker, proclaiming him "the most courageous man who had the gift of speech to express his courage since the days of Pharaoh." And Mr. Randolph travelled far in his discourse to prove the assertion, using organized labor's economical program as the key to the solution of the problems of the age. "We have travelled several roads during our period of freedom. There is no relief to be found in party politics. The Negro take their rights. According to the interpretations of those in control of the world today, might is right! "The Pullman Company would placate the minds of the porters by holding field days where the porters can sing and dance. They give them death benefits instead of a living wage, stripes on their sleeves for long service, an honor roll, and every other kind of roll but a bank roll. "As long as the porters are kept singing and dancing they will have no time to think. The company would reduce them to a group of professional mendicants, depending on the whims and caprices of a travelling public. "The Pullman Company would keep the porters out of the union, but of the 12,000 in the service, 8,000 are organized," Mr. Randolph concluded. Opportunity Prize Awards Opportunity Prize Awards Charles S. Johnson, editor, were made known. The dinner, presided over by Professor John Dewey of Columbia University, was a brilliant and distinguished white and colored gathering. Speeches were made by Paul Greene, winner of this year's Pulitzer prize for his play. "In Abraham's Bosom"; Harry Hansen of the New York World; Mrs. Edith Isaacs, editor of Theatre Arts Monthly; John Macy, and Alain Locke, editor of The New Negro. Musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. Nell Hunter, soprano, of Durham, N. C., and Mr. T. Henry Johnson, tenor, a graduate of the New England Conservatory. Among a host of distinguished attendants were John Macy, who presided at last year's dinner; James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, Maxwell Bodenheim, poet and novelist; Professor Robert Kerlin, Henry Goddard Leach, editor of "The Forum"; William Pickens, W. C. Handy, the composer; Alcee Dunbar-Nelson, Carl Van Vechten, and Jessie Fauset, novelist. This is the third year in which prizes to foster Negro art and literature have been donated under its auspices, the first year through the generous contribution of Mrs. Henry Goddard Leach, the last two years through that of Caspar Holstein, a Negro merchant from the Virgin Islands, who, to each contest, donated one thousand dollars. The special Buckner awards, given for the first time this year, are the gifts of George W. Buckner, a Negro banker of the Peoples' Finance Corporation of St. Louis, Mo. The awardees in the several fields were: Plays—First prize. Georgia Douglas Johnson, Washington; second prize. Eulalia Spencer, Brooklyn; FAMOUS STAR REVEALS EIGHT Applied The Rev. C. A. Ward, pastor of the church, introduced the speaker, proclaiming him "the most courageous man who had the gift of speech to express his courage since the days of Pharaoh." And Mr. Randolph travelled far in his discourse to prove the assertion, using organized labor's economical program as the key to the solution of the problems of the age. "We have travelled several roads during our period of freedom. There is no relief to be found in party politics. The Negro has been practically eliminated in politics the past twenty-five years. We cannot determine men by party lines. An upstanding, decent progressive Democrat like David I. Walsh is of more benefit to the race than a backward Republican. "Frederick Douglass advocated political and civil rights and the abolition of chattel slavery. Having the vote is well and good, but the right to vote does not enamble a people. The mere right to vote does not proclaim liberty. "The knowing how to do something—program of Booker T. Washington—had a great measure of value, but the learning of trades as skilled workers has its limitations as well as its values. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois comes with 'Man does not live on bread alone. His spirit and mind must take high place. Marcus Garvey stressed race consciousness and pride. A sound idea. A constructive principle. "All these doctrines have very definite phases of merit. Very valuable. "However, the economical method has not been tried. This is a materialistic age. Intelligent and enlightened economic methods must be applied. "With twelve billion-dollar corporations, each possessing more than the combined wealth of all Negroes of America, controlling all the necessary commodities of life, it is well-night futile for Negroes or poor whites to get asemblance of right without systematic organization to place them in power to Her Asthma and Cough Are Gone Suffered 15 Years.

Readers who have been tortured by asthma or bronchial trouble will be glad to know how Mrs. Amanda Kincalea, 1483 Lafayette St. Detroit, Mich. ended the disease. She says: "I had asthma for fifteen years. I was very weak, and my breath was a wail. It smothered me so I had to sit up in bed for hours to get my breath. I am 60 years old, and had almost given up of hope being well. One day I dead in the apartment. No one else could help her other lady, and decided to try it. After the first few doses I began feeling better and kept right on getting better, galving in weight and strength. My asthma in going too tough, and in every way."

Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 62 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine." Costs only 1 cent a dose.

Judging from the comments made by some of the officers of the local convention committee, they would not be surprised if the grand trustees declared New York legally unable to hold the convention. No one can state with authority at this time just what the decision will be, though it must be made within a few days, for the grand lodge investigating committee has but 90 days before the convention date in which to declare a convention city either fit or unfit to hold the grand lodge session. Saturday night at the regular meeting of the General Convention Committee, held at Imperial Auditorium, the committee indicated that it was ready in every detail and was now simply waiting. Notwithstanding any legal technicalities, the committee holds that the convention can, and regardless of any adverse decision, will be held in New York City in August.

Then there will be a demand for vast sanitation projects, restoring of building, return of people to their homes, care of the sick and injured.

Paige, associated in practice with the law firm of Dyett, Hall, Patterson, Paige and Williams, with offices at 2296 Seventh avenue, won a $5,500 verdict for his client, Theodore Schuster, last Wednesday. Mr. Schuster was formerly represented by the office of Jacob W. Pascou, but upon failure to obtain a better offer than $350 from the defendants, owners and insurers of the automobile which injured Mr. Schuster, he retained Atty. Paige. Mr. Paige proceeded immediately in preparation for trial and soon obtained an offer of $3,000 in settlement, but advised his client not to accept it. The case was first tried in March, when Mr. Paige surprised his opponents, three of the largest law firms in the city, by successfully combating their effort to obtain a dismissal of the case. The case came up for retrial Wednesday, May 4, before Justice Faber and a jury in the Supreme Court.

Groom-to-Be Calls His Wedding Off Groom-to-Be Calls His Wedding Off (Continued from Page 1.) members of the most exclusive social set of the fashionable Roxbury district came the announcement from Leslie M. Mayo. 200 Townsend street, that his proposed marriage to Miss Hazel Gertrude Scott, comely and socially popular young miss of 154 Humbolt avenue, had been declared off. According to the invitations, the wedding was to have taken place Monday, May 9, at the home of the bride. Indiscretions on the part of Miss Scott during the interim caused the groom's sudden change of heart, the ensuing voluntary cancellation notice sent to invited guests by Mr. Mayo states. The announcement of the coming wedding of Mr. Mayo and Miss Scott, young people, from two of the best known families of Boston, caused the usual agreeable surprise. The following communication, however, was also a surprise, according to expressions of friends of the couple: "To whom it may concern: Inasmuch as you have received an invitation to the anticipated marriage of the undersigned and Hazel Gertrude Scott, I feel it a duty, but also regret the necessity of informing you that the proposed marriage has been this day voluntarily cancelled by me. "I feel that any man acquainted with the disagreeable facts which are well known to me would be justified in taking the same action. it is needless for me to go into details. Many of the facts of indiscretion are well known in certain circles and are quite sufficient. "Trusting that you have not been inconvenienced by the receipt of the invitation, I am, "Sincerely, "L.

The hospital staff, the student nurses, and the graduating class marched from the hospital to the church, and occupied reserved sections. Dr. McGrath presided, and after a brief address of welcome called on the Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown to give the invocation. Dr. McGrath standard maintained at the school, and said it was the same as that of Bellevue Hospital. The annual report showed the growth of the school since its establishment over four years ago. It has an enrollment of ninety-two students, coming from every section of the country.

The address to the graduates was made by Eugene Kinnick Jones of the National Urban League, who told of the opportunity the nurses had for service in spreading the program of health. He said that statistics had shown that the Negro enjoyed the same health status as any other group, under the proper environment. Policeman Fined on Lottery Charge BOSTON, Maas, May 9.—Stephen Douglas, a Boston & Maine Railroad police officer attached to the Dudley street station, Roxbury, was finned $300 by Judge Albery F Hayden in Roxbury Court last week on a charge of setting up and promoting a lottery.

Go to High School-Go to College Campaign Brought to a Close Go to High School-Go to College Campaign Brought to a Close Eugene Kinckle Jones, Principal Speaker at Mass Meeting, Says Negro Has Not Yet Expressed Himself "Go to High School—Go to College" week, under the auspices of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, came to a climax Sunday afternoon at a mass meeting in Public School 136, corner 135th street and St. Nicholas avenue, with Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, as chief speaker. "I like to call the Negro the mystery race; America, the land of opportunity for the Negro," he stated, explaining that preserved in the race are many powers which have not yet found expression because of the oppression and bounds which have handicapped it. But, through training and development, the Negro is finding more opportunities to exhibit these talents. He cited instances where Negroes had risen to heights in scientific, artistic and educational fields since the shackles of slavery had been removed. He told of the many fields opening up where once a Negro dared not tread. Of the 321 lines of occupation listed in the census records, Mr. Jones observed, Negroes are now working in 316. of the fraternity, or where there is a member. "The day of the self-made man is past. Unless he has a college education he will be held in obscurity as the tide of progress moves on," declared Aitry, Palge, who is director of the campaign in New York State. Professor Gerald F. Norman, who as Mr. Jones pointed out, "And now are we to make more progress?" he asked. "Through preparation for life," he affirmed. "I believe that people should be trained," the speaker ventured to assert, "for those things they can do best. And all people cannot use to the best advantage a college education, but every normal minded man can use to the best advantage a secondary education." "We must meet the competition," he declared in stressing the need for gaining more scholastic training. "We must do even better than our competitors. It is unfair, but a fact nevertheless." Determination and confidence in self must be developed to a greater extent. Just as the Jew has studied and knows himself and his qualities, so the Negro must awaken to a broader realization of his own, he explained. We must learn to look at the bigger things in life and obscure the things in life. To be able to stand face to face with those who would belittle us, and by virtue of our own self-development page up their canny remarks with a laugh, is the quality in the end needed to bring about the final adjustment. Atty. Miles A. Palge reviewed briefly the history of the movement and told of its importance in the community's welfare. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was organized at Cornell University in 1803 to foster the "personal progress of its members." But in 1919 the organization's attitude was too selfish. The fraternity wanted to "be of service to the public and those of the public most in need of help." Accordingly, the first "Go to High School-Go to College" campaign was launched. Since then every year an entire week has been dedicated to the campaign in every city, town and hamlet in the country where there is a chapter of the fraternity, or where there is a member. "The day of the self-made man is past. Unless he has a college education he will be held in obscurity as the tide of progress moves on," declared Atty. Palge, who is director of the campaign in New York State. Professor Gerald F. Norman, who, as Mr. Jones pointed out in his speech, was the first Negro appointed to a position in the high school in New York, was chairman of the meeting. Added features on the program were a tenor solo by Robert Caver and an instrumental selection by Miss Dorothea Dismukes. Country Heeds Fisk Appeal Famous Octette to Sing at Mass Meeting Here Sunday The Fisk University authorities have entered earnestly upon a campaign to secure $100,000 from the alumni, former students and friends of the institution. The university has been assured that the money necessary to meet its other obligations will be forthcoming if this $100,000 can be secured. When Fisk has succeeded in paying all of its outstanding bills and has established itself on a safe financial basis the million dollars which has been subscribed for more than two years will be paid into the treasury of the university. Two methods are being used by Fisk in this effort to secure a substantial sum from its own constituency. Fifty big mass meetings are held in the leading centers of the university which time the Fisk University quarterly program of jubilee music and Dr. Thomas Els Jones presents an appeal for the funds needed. It is hoped that the university may net from this series of meetings at least $75,000 in cash and ss of 1927 pledges to be paid in installments by September 1. In addition to these mass meetings several interested alumni and Chaplain Baker are visiting smaller cities presenting the Fisk situation to large gatherings and soliciting personally the business and professional people. In this way the university hopes to secure enough funds which, when added to the receipts, from the mass meetings, will total the $100,000 needed. If those who are most concerned with the type of higher education represented by Fisk come forward with the $100,000 needed, it is believed that a great impetus will be given to such education all over the country and additional funds needed will be forthcoming from those who are able to give large sums. The mass meeting to be held in New York City is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, beginning at 3 o'clock. Dr. Jones, the new president, will speak and the Fisk octette sing. Dr. Jones will speak at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 138th street and Edgecombe avenue, Sunday morning. He is coming at the special invitation of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson. In the afternoon Dr. Jones will speak at Abyssinian Baptist Church. In the evening Dr. Jones will speak at the Chelsea M. E. Church, Washington Heights, where the Fisk University Singers will render another program. Can You Tell? 1. What is Buxton? 2.

SECOND SECTION APEX BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL HOLDS GRADUATION The annals of history are full of the stories of beautiful women who made or married the fortunes of the men who fell victims of their charms. Far back before the dawn of written history the beauty of women was sung by the ancient bards and we have brought down to us Helen of Troy as the cause of the war between the Greeks and Troians.

Y. Satisfaction Guaranteed or Money Back The Greeks worshipped beauty above everything else. Of prehistoric times we can judge something of this by the relics discovered, hx Mme. Washington archaeologists. We can see in many collections of antiquities paintings showing pretty women within the mats, dressing their hair, polishing their nails and touching up their faces. Cosmetics were in fashion among the women of the Greek cities. Oil on perfumed waters for the baths, boxes still containing rouge pots, and wonderfully wrought toilet articles. So it is safe to assume that the secrets of beauty were not evolved A. E. In the last few centuries, Beauty culture is indeed one of the most important of arts and a profession well worthy of knowing. But the average beauty culturers of today are far, far behind times, and accustomed to the title of their profession except to serve the several years ago Madame Sara Spencer Washington, founder and president of the Apex System of beauty culture, noticed the superficial methods many hairdressers and beauty culturers were practising. Endowed with diligence, stick- toliveness, and braits, she established the Apex method and today has many schools and colleges throughout the country, where every branch of the beauty, art is taught on scientific basis. It was Sunday at the Apex College with Kathy where a reception which bore the stammer of excellence was given for the Apex agents and students of this city. This reception was for the purpose of lecturing to the many 13 Mrs. Lucille V. Johnson operators and enlightening them of the importance of knowing their profession scientifically and keeping abrent of the times wherein their true value of their money. This is one of the essential instructions Madame Washington instills in her agents. However, at this affair there was enjoyed very interesting lectures, and was presented of diplomas to graduate students of an Apex Club and refreshments served. The occasion went off beautifully. There were about 10 present and Madame Washington who presided, masterly expressed the appreciation for the whole-heated co-operation of her workers. Miss Eva Parker of Philadelphia, Apex field representative and chub impressively address, while receiving with a hearty applause, Macy Lydian Parsons, an Apex representative, spoke on the "courage of seismic women" and held listeners' spirits as she instructed them to face life's problems squarely and with a bold disregard for danger.

The Kandy Kids now have a record of five victories and as many defeats. Charleston, the Babe Ruth of the Eastern Colored League, was responsible for the Bushwicks' downfall in the opener, clouting two record home runs over the difficult right-field fence and scoring two runners ahead with his second circuit wallop. The homesters hit C. Carter hard, getting eleven hits, but the Giants found three Bushwick hurriers, Eddie Hockenbury, Carl Dietjen and Brown for 13 hits. The Dexter Parkers succeeded in knocking out Gurely in the third inning of the twilight struggle, but Corbit, who relieved him, finished in great style after a wabbly start. Joe Kaiser, who quit organized baseball rather than sign with Peoria after being released by the Chicago Cubs this spring, went the full route for the Bushwicks and was walloped for 13 hits by the colored boys. TEN Charleston's homer opened the scoring activities in the first game, the big Negro slamming it over the fence when he led off in the second inning. A pass to Cananady, Scott's single, Gomez's infield out and C. Carter's bingle gave the visitors two more runs in this frame. Bushwicks' Five Come in Fifth. The Bushwicks scored all of their runs after the first two batters expired in their half of the fifth. Buck Lai singled to left. Jimmy Irving singled in the same direction and reached second on the unsuccessful throw to get Lai at third. Both scored when Captain Joe Weiss' doubled to right.

Holnie Zimmerman's Jamaica nine run its string of victories up to ten at the expense of Dan McCielan's Philadelphia Quaker Giants at Carpenter's Oval Sunday afternoon. Jamaica won both ends of a twin bill, taking the opener by a score of 2 to 1 and搔ing the second game by 5 to 3. The first contest was featured by a harling duel between Al Tarr of Jamaica and George Jackman of the Quakers. Jackman showed the local batmen more stuff than they had seen in a long time and he found 14 strikeout victims with his high hard one and fast-breaking hook. Tarr hurled a much more effective game than Jackman. He used his stuff when he had to, and of the six hits made off his delivery no two came in the same inning. Jackman gave the Quankers their only run of the game when he blasted the ball over the centerfield bleachers. It was a drive that even Ruth would have been proud to hit. Jamalena made but seven hits, but they were all bunched. In the fifth successive doubles by Zimmerman and Jack Vale gave Jamaica its first run. Jack Parr's single in the ninth with Delaney on third won the ball game for the homesters. Zimmerman was the only Jamaica hatsman who did not fan at least once. Jackman retired two on stilts in the first five innings, one in the sixth, two in the seventh and another in the eight. Tarr did a little breezing himself, fanning eight of the visitors. Jamala took a two-run lead in the first inning of the second game and held its advantage throughout. Zimmerman again led the attack of the victors, getting two safe blows.

The brainiest pitcher in the New England States is Bobby Russell, and all the teams fear his clever assortment.

When it comes to, hitting the ball, Jim Moore is one of the Babe Ruths in Negro baseball. No man other than the original "Babe" can park them as he does.

Saturday, at David's Stadium, Newark, the Cubans took the first game, 10-3, and on Sunday, at the Protectory Oval, the Lincolnons won a double-header, 12-8 and 12-7. Saturday's game was very loosely played; the Lincolnons overcame a five-run lead and then lost in the ninth inning when Mason jugged Oms' fly to left field, causing two runs to be scored. Chacon was injured in this game and was unable to play on Sunday. Home runs were made by Oms, Rector, Johnson and Dihigo Sunday and there were also four three-base hits—Scales, Oscar, Alphono and Rojo—with an unusually large number of two-baggers. Following the decision of President Isaac Nutter, the Lincoln played Montalvo, the big Cuban outfielder, in all three games. He made five hats and six runs in twelve times at bat. Rojo, the other Cuban member of the Lincoln, also did exceptionally well Sunday. The Brooklyn Royal Giants will appear at Protectory Oval Sunday, May 15, for the first time since the 1925 season. A real battle is expected between the Royals and Lincoln, as both are anxious to be known as the leading team of Greater New York. The box scores of Sunday's games were as follows: AB. P. P. H. O. A.

J. Star, With Boston The League Gets Started Now that all the clubs in the Eastern Loop have been in actual combat the early spring dopes on the strength of the respective clubs is now authentic. When you yet early for predictions, there are apparent facts that stand from the initial tilt. Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants are so strong that one trait that wins more ball games than the league in the country is very evident in the Lincoln outfit of Jim Keenan. In the recent double-ball bill through their ability to hit the ball for extra bases. It took them for the Lincoln to win these games, and six of them were produced on three hits, all home-run drives. The Cope joins the Lincoln outfit, leveraged battery, and, judging from their work the Hilldale team, they will be a world of help to the Bronx club. Then, too, George Scales, Burdell Young, Charlie Mason and John Henry, himself, clouted the ball savagely. WHILE the Lincoln were registering improvement, the Hilldale outfit showed symptoms of losing power, especially on the attack. The Daisies garnered more hits than their rivals, but most of them went to seize potent blow was missing to send the baserunners over. Their smart against the Brooklyn Royals hovered around the cellar in the league since their Brooklyn team, they deserved to a similar fate for the present campaign. The addition of a couple of youngsters in Arnold and Seay to the baserunners, but has done nothing to strengthen all the more because of the ill-keck that is stalking the Hilldale team and all the more because of the game through an injury sustained in New York and will be lost to the club for ten days or more, and most Johnson, the third sacker, is on the sick list to add to Bolden's west. WHATVER THE Bacharach Giants, the past season's champions, do in gift-edge games, the work of Soo Jin's hurriers against the Cuban Stars was at a Atlantic City team up in the running. Artha B. Henderson, seeping ("Red") Griller, Luther Hungerbush battens plenty to worry about as the season pro-duces that will be played. Then Roy Roberts, the fifth man on the staff, is also a capable finger, Henderson took the Cubans into camp in the first game of the Cubans opener at Newark and Roy Roberts came to Ferrell's aid to take the second encounter. BEN TAYLOR'S Baltimore Black Sox, minus several of the past season's star players, appear to be a more formidable aggregation, due to the fact that aging Hoosier has them working as a team, and the stairs that hindered the Sirothers for the past two years. The fact combination in the circuit, to an even break in the double-header at Baltimore, speaks well for the prospects of the dark hosed crew. OF the new cities in the circuit that the league has taken over for additional parks, does Parmer's venture in Newark, N. J., appears to be an assured customers into the confines of the specious David's stadium. At Mt. N. J., the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Hildale's early date for a playoff application, the whole town was in Lincoln Giants, but was washed out by rain. A LETTER FROM JIM KEENAN Mr. Romeo L. Lougherty. Sporting Editor, Amsterdam News. New York. In Montalvo, the Western League now claims that in the event of his not agreeing to the terms with the Cubans there are seven other clubs that would claim his services before the Cubans are there. The League would not allow him to belong to do because he would not not accept the unreasonably low salary offered by the Cuban Stars. No club in the Western cared or mentioned his name then. He was as if dead. The secretary of the Western League now stars in Montalvo in January that Montalvo intended they did not put his name on the official list submitted to the job meeting. No official mention of him was made until the league agreed to play with the Lincoln Giants. Then the Western League protested. They acknowledge their failure to reserve Montalvo, but insist on having him after the Lincoln Giants signed him. He is considered valuable, yet he would not be able to do of dry rot in the Western League cared. The Lincoln League submitted the facts to Hon. Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City, and president of the Eastern League, who decided that, as Montvale's name was not submitted and is not on the reserve list, the National League privileged to sign and play with the Lincoln League in the Eastern Colored League. The Western League has been so informed yet they persist in their demand for Montvale to be turned adrift by the Lincoln or they threaten to do various league insists upon an official original reserve list to be submitted, and no list submitted afterwards is considered, although if a new player is signed his name may be added. When any player's name is left off a reserve list he is considered a free agent privileged to sign to play with the Lincoln The Western League continually had articles published to show the East forced them to agree upon a redefinition of $2,500 a month, without manager's salary, while the West wanted $2,700 including manager's salary. Both agreed on the Western League's request. The West wanted $260 a month. There has been no notice from the West that the Western League does not include Indianapolis. There has been no official notice that Memphis, Birmingham and Cleveland are in the If the newspapers had not published about Memphis, Birmingham and Cleveland, no one would have known anything about them. As it is now, most people are in doubt as to what kind of membership they hold. We read in sporting sheets that the Western League decided to control and control Southern League. The East known it control and it appears as if the West was in control all territory and ball players outside of New Jersey, New Jersey and Maryland. This question has been decided several times. Judge Landis, who fined a club that neglected to place a player's name on the reserve list and after the player signed with a club in another league, asked the player. The Lincoln tide never won their rights, and the Western League could consult Judge Landis, who no doubt would decide so. Respectfully yours. J. J. KEENAN. That's Jim Keenan's contribution to the East-West war. The editor notes but he has suggested that the Western League submit the question to Judge Landis and the editor is constrained to anything when Nutter is holding the same passion in the Negro league as Landis in the white league? Das all. HILLDALEDOWNS ROYAL GIANTS Brooklynites Could Only Garner One Lone Tally in City of Sleep The Brooklyn Royal Giants under the wing of Cannonball Dick Redding made their first appearance of the season at Hilldale Park and incidentally helped the home club to usher in the league season. The Giants then proceeded to take it on the hip from the home clan and succumbed by the score of 8 to 1. The Giants presented a revised lineup with Paul Arnold and Charlie Seay, two youthful players supplanting veterans of long service. Highpocket Hudspeth, the former Lincoln Giant player, graced the initial sack. The new combination, however, failed to make much of an impression against the hurling of Merven J. "Red" Ryan, who with the aid of the Hilldale hitters won the game hands down. Wayne Carr's delivery was combed for thirteen safeties, including a home run drive by Nip Winters, his fourth of the current season. After the Giants scored their lone tally in the first inning the home team came back and put the game on ice in their half of the session. In this frame successive singles by Briggs, Warfield and Carr accounted for two runs. BROOKLYN ROYAL GIANTS. R. H. Q. A. E.

The victory gave the Darby Dalsies three straight wins over the visiting Brooklyn aggr笼ation. While Winters was the big noise of the fray, Pud Flournoy, another southpaw flinger, was very much in evidence and but for a lapse on the part of his supporting cast, a single marker, is all that the Daisties could amass against Flournoy's benders. The very first inning proved to be disastrous to the visiting hurler, Otto Briggs pried open the home team's turn at bat in the right manner, his grass cutter past the third sack being too fast for Finley and Otto stretched it to a double by great sprinting. Warfield walked, then he and Briggs worked a double steal. Washington's single bounded off the third sack and Briggs roamed home. Then it was that Cason's lapse paved the way for two more Hilldale tallies. Washington attempted a delayed steal of second base and when Cason failed to intercept Burnett's throw, both Warfield and Washington scored when the ball rolled into centerfield. After this inning Flournoy pitched airlight ball with only a few Hilldale runners getting on the sacks. Three snappy double plays executed by the Hilldale infeld snuffed as many rabies of the visiting Giants. Captain Frank Warfield playing with an injured hand was charged with two errors, but fairly schultilated in engineering a couple of double plays. Namon Washington of the home team and Red Smith of the visitors bagged the individual honors for their respective teams. Washington pounded out two hits, one of them for three bases and trailed Pud Flournoy's long drive to the centerfield boards. Smith produced two of the Giants' trio of safe blows and also covered the right field like a blanket. The victory gave Hildale three victories against two defeats in the Eastern Colored League race.

Santell Creates Lifelike Illusions Director of "Orchids and Ermine" Tries to Make Audiences Forget They're Seeing Movies One director in Hollywood has an old ambition. He wants to make people forget motion pictures—his own, to be exact! This strange person is Alfred Santelli, who directs for First National and whose latest work is Colleen Moore's "Orchids and Erinine," the current feature coming to the Roosevelt, Theatre. Santelli, one of the youngest of the prominent behind the camera, wants people to see his pictures; but once inside the theatre, he wants to unfold before them a film story that will weave a magic spell, make them forget they are seeing motion pictures, and make them feel they are watching a real life drama or comedy. "The director who can make people forget they are seeing just a motion picture has achieved a place in the world," says Santell. "That is why Warfield and Arliss are great on the stage.

LYONS 315 N. Central Oklahoma City, O NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1927 Alhambra Theatre to House Negro Artists Appearing in the Drama Evelyn Ellis Returns to Scene of Former Triumphs in "Goat Alley" and Makes Ringing Plea to Her Own People for Support in Artistic Offerings Starting on Monday night, May 16, the Alhambra Theatre, at 126th street and Seventh avenue, will house an all star colored company. The managers of this venture will start their season with the original production and company in a play of Negro life, "Goat Alley," coming to Harlem direct from the Princess Theatre, where it has been playing for the last few weeks. "Goat Alley" was written by that well-known writer of colored stories, Ernest Howard Culbertson, and, as a story and play, has received the highest praise from all the noted critics of our day. In the review of the play by the "Tuskegee Student" they quoted it as "a brilliant drama of life's tragedy, and marvel at the artistic way in which the company presents this phase of life." George Jean Nathan, in his review in the American Mercury, said: "One of the most thoroughly proficient and commanding performances I have ever laid my eyes on." The New York Tribune stated: "It is a tragedy, stunning, and given to us in an artistic manner. The author, Mr. Culbertson, has shown the profound realities of human suffering, the emotions, loves and hates of the colored race; it is a play none should miss for the lesson that it teaches—a goul under fire." In fact, the entire press, both of the colored and white races, have been unanimous in declaring "Goat Alley" one of the best plays of the year. The company that appears in "Goat Alley" contains many names prominent among colored artists and a few that should be especially mentioned are: Miss Evelyn Ellis, Edward Thompson, A. B. Comathiere, Elizabeth Williams, Dorothy Paul, J. Louis Johnson, Baron Bryan, Hayes L. Pryor, Margaret Petty, George Watson, Jack Carter and others. It is the intention of the management of Miss Ellis to use the Alhambra Theatre for the presentation of the best possible plays and will follow "Goat Alley" with other successes which have played Broadway, Every play, we are promised, will receive a complete and perfect production, staged in the best possible manner. It is also their aim to make the Alhambra Theatre the home of an all-star colored civic repertory company, where the colored folks will find the best dramatic plays offered at a scale of prices that will be as cheap as moving pictures, and no expense will be spared to make the Alhambra Theatre one of the outstanding colored theatres of the country, where one can go and enjoy the best in the theatrical world and know that it will be a place for colored people who appreciate good plays presented by a cast of colored artists that are competent to play the roles assigned them. Miss Evelyn Ellis intends to do for her people what many of the white artists are doing, and that is to give real plays at cheap prices and try to uplift her native stage to the level of artistic perfection. She says: "If I can only receive the co-operation of the theater instruments who do mand the best in the drama it will give me encouragement to go on to bigger and better things. I do not want to make money, but I do want to have a theatre as an outlet for our native drama and for the presentation of the finer arts, so that the colored artist may show to the world that he or she can compete on a level footing with the white artist. CLASSICS WILL HAVE SWAY At the Concert of the Martin-Smith School at Manhattan Casino Final preparations for the Carrival of Music of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., have been completed. The program is composed of many interesting numbers. The Junior Orchestra, under the direction of Gertrude E. Martin, will play the First Movement of the Military Symphony by Haydn. The Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of David I. Martin, will play "Walther's Prize Song" from the Meistersingers of Nurnberg by Wagner.

The chorus will also HEAR Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones President of Fisk University IN AN ADDRESS and A RECITAL --- Featuring the Famous FISK UNIVERSITY OCTETTE And Miss SONOMA TALLEY Mrs. REBECCA NORCUM and Miss LYDIA MASON at ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday Afternoon, May 15 ADMISSION FREE Mrs. D.

Miller and Lyle to Appear in New Show Soon And the Same Is Said of Their Old "Shuffle Along" Partners, Sissle and Blake It is said that Miller and Lyle have entered rehearsal for the new show with which they plan to come out in the near future. The new show, we understand, will be called "In Jungle Land." the music for which is being supplied by Ford Dahney, with lyrics by Joe Trent. At the same time, word came to us that Sissie and Blake, formerly partners of Miller and Lyle in the successful show called "Shuffle Along," are about to go into rehearsal with a new show which they plan to present, like "In Jungle Land," on Broadway. Both shows are expected to take off the rough spots in Washington. It is doubtful if two more able comedians are today on the stage than Miller and Lyle, and if the vehicle in which they plan to appear is anywhere near being what they hope it will be, their own ability will play its part in putting it over. The act which they used after the close of their old show has been warmly received wherever they have appeared, and Broadway will respond in large numbers at the initial showing of the new offering. as these performers have won a host of new friends since first they made their extraordinary run in the characters of Sam Peck and Steve Jenkins.

Following this offering will come the relatable "Lucky Sambo," with Billy Higgins, Joe Bird, Julla Moody and a host of other well-known performers. "Lucky Sambo" has been one of the standard offerings of recent years, the show- Sandy Burns and Doc Straine at the Lincoln Big Revue Backed Up by Big Screen Release, "Love's Greatest Mistake," Now at 135th St. House Manager Spyder, at the New Lincoln Theatre, brought back an old favorite and this week it is "Old Home Week" down at the popular 135th street house, as Sandy Burns, ably supported by Doc Straine, is holding the boards at the head of a big revue which includes a company of thirty. Sandy Burns remains as one of the favorites from a period which saw the tabloid form of offerings in the smaller houses at their very best, and it is a tribute to such Burns that this same form of entertainment came into its own when jazz swept into larger favor after the war. Supporting the stage offering from Thursday to the end of the week, will be "Love's Greatest Mistake," another big screen release for which the Lincoln is noted. "Lovos's Greatest Mistake" is the newest Paramount dramatic offering filmed from the story by Frederic. Arnold Kummer, well-known author and playwright, and which is running serially in Liberty Magazine. A remarkably able and well-rounded cast enact the story with all the subtleties of characterization to make it one of the most gripping of this year's screen offerings. ing being able to withstand the trials and tribulations which usually beset the path of latter-day big musical comedy productions after a fling on the burlesque time. People in the vicinity never seem to tie the work of Hikigins and, working along with his old foil, Ernest Whitman, and others experienced in his brunt of comedy and onto every trick of the trade, which he has so successfully used, he remains a stand-out character, guaranteed to make up, if by any chance anything is lacking elsewhere in the show. SECOND ANNUAL PAPER FASHION PARADE AND TABLEAUX VI VANTS Givep by VIOLET HARMONY GLEE CLUB AT IMPERIAL AUDITORIUM 160 West 129th Street MONDAY, MAY 16, 1927 Admission, 75 Cents Dgt. Edna Haynes, Pres. Dgt. Bertha E. Walton, Fin. Sec. 'LUCKY SAMBO' IN RETURN DATE NEXT WEEK Douglas and Roosevelt Offer Fine Pictures Down at the Alhambra Theatre, 124th street and Seventh avenue, next Monday night, will mark a new era in the lives of the colored people of this community in that an attempt will be made to bring back a form of entertainment which the best people here have cried for nigh on these many moons. With the opening of "Goat Alley," which presents Evelyn Ellis, A. B. De Comathiere, Edward Thompson and others well known here, the drama will make its bow in settings suited to the presentation of the best along these lines and the promoters of this higher form of entertainment have asked for the support of the people here. If what we say carry the weight which our good friends have made us believe comes near being true at least, we ask for a hearing for this new venture and not based upon the show, which will be the first of a series to be presented. This attitude is brought about by the knowledge that there are many critics among our people who will rise to unearth all the flaws they can find in this show, for it is decreed that they must give vent to their superior knowledge and to look deeper and for the monce will not be their method. If the promoters were bringing to Harlem the worst thing along dramatic lines (speaking of the acting and play itself and not "sex" and "immorality"), we would have the tenacity to advise our people to make the opening week at the Alhambra one of the most successful in its history, for behind the presentation of "Cont Alley" we have the promise that the best things to be secured will be brought here and the leading colored dramatic artists of the country will be asked to take part in these shows. Can Harlem stand this kind of entertainment at this time? Why not? It will not interfere with the other form of entertainment with which we have been surfeited (if we are to take the word of those who even at this time are right about facing because of certain changes) for years. This section of the Greater City, with its large colored population, should be given a chance to see everything in the theatre instead of that continued diet upon which so many of us feed. We'd now at the feet of those brilliant minds which come into prominence after we had helped to lay the foundation which made their coming possible and confess our lack of ability in spouting beautiful phrases and so placing words that their sounds are like sweet music to the ear, but we rise to ask those who need no dictionary to understand what we saw there isn't inspiration in good drama. The ordinary mind will not so readily run to this form of entertainment, but since we are all so prone to point with so to the accomplishments of the dead (aye, and living) authors who gave to the world such wonderful things in the world is it going so much that we rise to demand that the same chances be given our own in helping to direct the mind of youth in these channels who would eventually find much to enjoy at the hands of the masters? If for nothing else we must find a place where good George Clymer can take his friends when they come to the community. We do not expect the clod-hopper from the wilds to find enough inspiration in these things to be tempted to instantly tell the populace about them, but there are some of who even if we do not ourselves boast certain requirements in life, still retain the desire to be able to enjoy one of the highest forms of entertainment regardless of where it is. We like jazz, but some of us do confess that we are not at all accustomed to hearing things from the masters. Let these people coming among us do their very best, and we make hold to assert that it will most likely find support here, for in Harlem the drama had its birth at the Lincoln Theatre, found success at the Lafayette and brought to Seventh avenue, ah, my brothers, say it gently—THE CRITICS. And in conclusion we again resort to our poetic effusion which will not find as much favor as "Fine Clothes in the Dew." Let's go: Music and the art dramatic Bend low to the vulgar will: Mental muscle fast increaseh When with noble thoughts they team. But mental muscle fast decreaseth If unreal as a dream. Let's all see "Goat Alley" and if we don't like it let us all resolve to console ourselves with the thought that better things will follow. "A SWEET flirtation...but who can resist 7-11."

An sally, Can grow stronger, healthier and more vigorous and take on pounds of solid needed flesh in 30 days just by taking McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tanlets four times a day as easy to take as candy. And what a hit these fresh producing tablets have made. One drugstripped his sales in one week. Everybody knows that masty- tasting, evil-smelling Cod Liver Oil is a wonderful vitalizer, flesh producer and health creator. But who wants to swallow the horrible stuff, when those wonderful tablets — McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets—contain the same kind of vitamins and so easy to take? A box of 60 tablets for 60 cents and if any skimmy man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds in 30 days—money back. Ask any good drugstriper anywhere in Amer- ter. Be sure and get McCoy's, the original and genuine — reputable drummers, won't hand you imitations any more than they will hard you counterfeit money. And don't forget there is nothing on earth too good to make backward, litterless, underweight children.

"Ren- der unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." expresses the proposition with the aphoristic aptness of the greatest of all social thinkers. From the beginning until now the government has been operated upon this foundation principle. Ministers of the gospel have in the main attended to spiritual matters, while politicians and statesmen have looked out for the affairs of state. Very rarely has a preacher functioned in the government. Today, I cannot recall a single minister of the gospel in either branch of Congress, in the Cabinet or in any high public station. The Harlem Mother At the same time, the church has always shown a becoming interest in politics, as all good citizens should do. Frequently political issues take on the sharp differentiation of moral principle. The slavery question finally assumed this phase. Church organizations and churchmen were left no choice but to align themselves on the ethical side of the issue. Prohibition is likewise a question of social righteousness. The minister can hardly remain true to his conscience or to his calling if he throws the weight of his influence on the wrong side. Besides, a citizen, by taking on ministerial vows, does not lose any of the prerogatives of citizenship. The gravamen of the objection is to religious organizations exposing any particular party or "Is Triumphing Over Traitors From Without and Within" EMERSON it was who made the cryptic remark that there are two kinds of women. "The mother kind, and the other kind—those who give birth to children and those who mother these children." Further in the essay Emerson explains that the woman who gives birth to children is not necessarily a mother, and that childless women are oftentimes real mothers. This assertion on the part of the great New Englander strikes a happy foundation or basis for the precise definition of the Harlem mother. The fact of motherhood (physical or merely social) is a great part of the reputation of the black womanhood of America. The glorious tributes which have been paid to this part of her tradition defy the age of time and the rigors of race prejudice and other American race ills; this tradition, for the most natural function of her sex, surpasses in reputation and usefulness any tradition now or at any other time ascribed to her sex in any race. The fortitude of the women of Sparta, the sagacity of the Amazonian women, the physical beauty and immense stature of the women of Dahoney, the tenderness, patience and affection of the women at the Crimes—the Nightingales and the Harpers, nursing the wounded and the sick of the battle back to life and health—solicitude for the children of the House of David, as recounted in the Hebrew Prophets, all pale into insignificance when the motherhood of the black race, under the circumstances of its experience, is compared. The Southland is unsurpassed for sacrifice, the land where men grow to manhood, where sunshine and plenty are eternal, where hospitality and kindness were born and where God and the colored "mammy" never grow old. Here in this human Eden sprang this black motherhood; here it gave, service to infants, children, invalids, and the sore distressed—black and white, rich and humble—from this sublime and exalted sublime service came the Harlem, mother She came with traditions which PREACHERS IN POLITICS candidate and to the minister himself becoming a candidate for political office. Mankind has suffered so grievously through the ages from the sinister use of priestly power to effect political ends that the combination always breeds suspicion. Any compact religious organization, like the Catholics or the Methodist bodies, naturally labors under great stress of temptation to use its sacred control for secular and political purposes. So great is this suspicion that a favored candidate for the presidency has recently been forced to open declaration that neither his personal devotion to his faith nor the great communion to which he avows devotion would have the faltest effect upon his official conduct. If elevated to the chief magistracy. But here, as elsewhere, these A TRIBUTE TO HER MOTHERHOOD By EDGAR M.

Her war materials were poor. Her ammunition, in most part, was composed of the washrug, the washboard, the smoothing iron, the kitchen stove and utensils, a pair of muscular arms and what she called her "duty." And if her implements for war were poor and simple, who will deny that her generalship upon the field of economic combat was not of the highest quality? Who will say that she had not, with these simple implements, forged into a working and contriving machine perfect mechanical harmony, kept in easy movement by a lubricant made from her own life's blood? Her combat was engaged in against enemies without and traitors within. Her enemies were the force of American race prejudice, economic exploitation, social drones, and the march of a vile era. Her internal organization was exposed at every turn to the tritourous villainy of lazy, shiftless black men on the one hand, and conscienceless, beastial white men on the other. What was her task in this struggle? To what objective did she aspire? Her task was to rear black children in order to supplement the passing generation. This was indeed a task, for not only should she rear them, but she must teach them to be good, intelligent citizens, fit for the duties of citizenship. She grappled with this task, taking the man almost by the back of the pants and pulling him upwards, yelling, shouting, almost out of breath, from her struggle with him and with the elements: "Come on and fight! Come on and fight!" Struggling upwards, onward, she has raised her number from a few thousands in the thirty-year period ending in 1928 to her present in- general principles do not ordinarily apply to the Negro race.

The most capable勇 of these received their initial experience and training in leadership from religious organizations. Fred Douglas began his public career as an exhorter in a Methodist church. There was no other platform or field for the exploitation of his pen-up powers. Many others of the Reconstruction leaders had gained posing numerical array of more than 34,000. She has increased the Negro population from less than 16,000 in the same period to eight a quarter of a million. She has given to the genius of New York many of its highest representatives. From her job and heart have sprung doctors, lawyers, business men, all manner and fashion of workers in every walk of life. She has reduced the death-rate of the New York Negro from 37 per thousand thirty years ago to 19.1 per thousand in 1926. By her diligence and care she has reduced the rate of infant mortality from its horrifying peak of twenty years ago and brought it to its present level. She has a compilised all of this not without suffering and, in some cases, not without destination to certain members of her sex. Let us examine some typical Harlem cases and see whether the motherhood of this community has kept the faith with her race, her God and her country. A Negro mother of 27 years old, mother of three children, lost her husband at the time when she was to become the mother of a fourth child. Father had no insurance, but was a member of two fraternal organizations; funeral expenses were paid from this. Soon after this the woman was confined. Her own mother, a blind widow, lived with her and assisted in the care of the children, with the co-operation of the oldest girl, 7 years old, after school hours. The mother want to work on the eleventh day after the child's birth, contracted influenza and had to return to the hospital. Friends co-operated until she was well enough to keep the home together. Two weeks after the date of her last illness, however, the little baby died. Mother returned from the hospital in five weeks, went to work, and was hailed to the court on the third week for the reason that Richard, the 10-year-old boy, had stayed away from school because he had no shoes. She managed to procure a pair of shoes for the boy and he returned to school. After nine years of struggle Richard was graduated from high school, went to work during the day, and is now, at this writing, the proud recipient of honorable mention for all-round scholarship at the College of the City of New York. The older girl is in the last year of her high school; the second girl is a pupil in the public school. All this has been accomplished by this mother without the help of any social agency, and directly because of her own efforts and industry. A Negro mother, 32 years of age, with six children, was deserted by her husband for another woman. She was advised THE NEW YORR Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1927 By KELLY MILLER their preliminary experience as ministers of the gospel. Senator Revels of Mississippi, the first Negro to sit in the United States Senate, was a Methodist minister. Professor Francis L. Cordoza, the Secretary of State of South Carolina, came from the Congregational pulpit. Vice-governor of "seventy-six" movement of "seventy-six" shut down the flood-gate of political advantage, there was a recurrent movement back to the church. The experience acquired in the political arena was quickly transferred back to the church, and the erstwhile politicians again became bishops and elders and priests unto God. those who must them for guidance therefore, exe church and Negro function for some in the political f The race will fall back upon the political guidance sent Negro only a precautional livelihood. They elections and white politicians mainly political stretching forth the white boss to that fall from his hle. He, therefore, pence and m The situation of the Negro makes the union of the two functions inevitable. The Negro church forms still the chief organization through which the race can be corralled and controlled. There are forty thousand Negro churches which, in many instances, furnish the only meeting-places for political discussion and deliberation. The Negro's political organizations, as such, have little more binding power than a coll of smoke. When the white politician wants to reach the black voter, he proceeds, sensibly enough, through the Negro preacher. There is no other efficient agency whereby they can be reached. It is needless to indulge in condemnation of the colored clergy for giving right guidance and direction to their parishioners with reference to public policies and the wise use of the ballot. They can lay hands on a larger contingency of the race than any other type of organization. It also becomes their racial duty to give needed information and wise counsel to to take him to the Domestic Relations Court, where he was ordered to provide for his family. Through political "pull" he was permitted to avoid the weekly contributions and family went off and joined the United States Navy. The wife is apprised of his enlistment and writes to the Navy Department in an effort to exact the allowance. The ship goes to Vera Cruz, Mexico, where the husband deserts the ship and has not been heard from for the past twelve years. Of the six children one is a school teacher, another a musician, one is in high school, another in the junior high school, and two are attending the elementary school. Another case is that of a woman 35 years old, ten years married, the mother of four children. The husband was accidentally shot at 135th street and Lenox avenue by a police officer when his straw hat was knocked from his head by a gang of vapagonds. This mother, after prolonged litigation against the city, lost her case for compensation. The oldest children are in college; the girl of these two was recently awarded a pri-* for excellence in English composition. Of the remaining two, one is in high school and the other attends elementary school. This mother, still a widow, has worked and sacrificed years of her youth to the rearing of her children, and her only reward has been the right to suffer. Still another case is that of a mother 24 years old, mother of two children; father a typical New York loafer. He invited her three months after she had given birth to her last baby to enter into illicit relationship with a white man in order to obtain money with which he might gamble. He refused to engage in any sort of employment. One year after the birth of her last baby she suffered from a nervous breakdown and the husband, through the influence of a near leader of the Democratic Party, placed this mother in a lunatic asylum. His mother refused to take care of the children during the mother's detention and her mother, an old person, was forced to take care of them. Through the assistance of friends, she was released from the asylum. Now she works to support her children. This shiftless father continues to annoy her mother's family to such an extent that she was told to move. Her husband enlisted in the Navy because the World War was being waged. A rule was passed by the Post Office Depart- --- those who must needs look to them for guidance. We may, therefore, expect the Negro church and Negro churchman to function for some time to come in the political field. The race will be compelled to fall back upon the preacher for political guidance for the reason that Negro politicians have only a precarious basis for a livelihood. They do not control elections, and offices, as the white politicians do, but are mainly political mendicants stretching forth their hands to the white boss for the crumbs that fall from his bountiful table. He, therefore, lacks independence, and must shift hisails to the exigencies of the prevailing winds. He is an absolute slave to the powers that be from whom he derives his livelihood. Of course, President Coolidge should be renominated of course, every Negro should support his renomination and re-election; of course, he is or will be the best friend of the Negro since Grant. These and like encomiums flow from the politician's mouth with suspicious facility. They have no meaning or merit. They dare not, at peril of their political livelihood, say otherwise. Advice is of absolutely no value when the adviser is not free to advise otherwise. The Negro minister is supposed to be free. He does not depend upon the favor of white politicians for his livelihood. He derives his support directly from the people whom he leads. It, therefore, becomes his boundary duty to guide him particularly in the way they should go. We shall continue to look to the minister for incidental political advice until we develop a set of politicians Some Tourists Are as Much Out of Place Here as Some Negroes With a Good Book" FLORENCE, Italy. FOR many centuries this city of 300,000 souls has been the Mecca of art lovers the world over. Michael Angelo, Dante Benvenuto, Cellini, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Lorenzo the Magnificent, all had their homes here. John Milton played the organ in the great cathedral, and Browning, Ruskin, Lowell and many other great American artists and writers also spent considerable time here. Here also was the home of Galileo, the astronomer, who, it will be recalled, was compelled by the churchmen to sign the famous document which declared that the earth was flat and did not move around the sun, but that the sun moved around it. Florence was really the ment to the effect that any woman whose husband is in the military branch of the Government may take the examination, and, if successful, will receive employment in this department. This mother was successful. Two years passed and the husband was released from the Navy. The rule in the Post Office Department is to the effect that no married woman may remain in the Department if her husband has been discharged. For some reason or other she is permitted to remain at work. Her husband, finding this out, wrote to the Postmaster General, informing him that his wife is still retained in the service, contrary to the law. He was ignored and then he became desperate enough to visit the post office station where his wife was employed and met; himself such a nuisance that he was threatened with arrest. She reported his conduct to the Domestic Relations Courts, where he was called up and ordered to provide for his family. He colluded with his friends of the Democratic Party and was permitted, after repeated violations of the court order, to escape to St. Louis, Mo., where the wife was forced to SPECIAL ARTICLES who are not dependent upon politics for petty jobs. As a matter of history, our political spokesmen have come mainly from the ministerial ranks. A bishop of the A. M. E. Church was the race's acknowledged spokesman under President McKinley. Bishop Walters served in like capacity under President Wilson. In numerous instances ministers of the gospel have sought political appointments. The Ministership to Liberia has been filled oftener. I believe, by a minister than by a layman. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Townsend gave up his clerical assignment to become Register of the Land Office under President Harrison, as the Rev. Dr. Robertis had done before him. Dr. Vernon, now bishop, laid aside church and school work to become Register of the Treasury under President Roosevelt. However necessary it may be for the minister to function in the political arena for the good of the people whom he leads, whenever he lays aside his sacred function for political office there is always a suppressed feeling that he compromises his sacred function for political leaves and nests. Although a minister may frequently be called upon to render secular service in sundry fields, whenever he subordinates his sacred office to any other pursuit it strikes the lay mind as looking backward after taking hold of the gospel plow. It is a matter of racial self-gratification that no bishop or chief pastor of any one of our Methodist communions has ever turned aside from his episcopal function for any secular pursuit, however alluring. It was whispered in the inner ART LOVERS' MECCA OF THE WORLD By J. A. ROGERS home of the Renaissance; so far as artistic production is concerned, the only other place in the world that can be mentioned in the same breath with it is ancient your knife in your at table — it show you simply don't bel And because of this t the Florentine hotel-keep rich to the tune of seven thousand dollars yet A. E. J. A. Rogers Athens. Hence, to come to Italy and not visit Florence, or Firenze, as it is known here, is like putting apply for his extradition to the City of New York. He was brought back to New York; the probation officer (Negro) refused to make adverse reports to the courts about him and the mother, having lost her position in the Post Office, was forced to send the children to a boarding school. If Mother's Day on the Sth of May meant anything to any people, it should be of tremendous significance to the Harlem youth. It should have been the day upon which the entire Black City spent its time in both merriment and meditation. For the moterhood of Harlem is the soul and sinew of the Black City. When it is further recalled that there are more day nurseries in Harlem than in any other community of its size; when it is recalled that more than 70 percent of the mothers of Harlem must leave their children each day with professional and social mothers who care for the children in order that the mother might earn a living, it will be realized that mothers are mothers whether they have given birth to children or not, and that among no other womanhood are there to be found such genuine mothers as there are in Harlem. "Ministers Should Not Lay Aside Sacred Functions circles that the Ministership to Haiti was offered to Bishop Walters. We only know that he did not deviate from his episcopal dignity. The trustees of Howard University offered the presidency of this signal educational institution to Bishop Gregg of the A. M. E. Church. This offer was a high compliment to Bishop Gregg, but not to the A. M. E. Church. To a true churchman the bishopric is the kingrow. He would not, in fact could not, swap places for any secular pursuit of whatever permanency or reward without stultifying his ecclesiastical conscience. This is the view that Bishop Gregg took, to his everlasting honor and to the everlasting honor and dignity of his church. No secular organization would think of tempting a bishop of the Catholic, Episcopal, or white Methodist Church with offers of a secular position. Whenever such an offer is made to a Negro Methodist bishop it should be rejected as an indignity to his high and holy office. What kind of example will our high ecclesiastical dignitaries hold up to consecrated youth who would vow to devote themselves to the moral and spiritual regeneration of their race if it appears that they are using the church as stepping stones to secular and political preferment? While I write, words come your knife in your mouth at table — it shows that you simply don't belong. And because of this tradition the Florentine hotel-keepers wax rich to the tuns of several hundred thousand dollars yearly, for it seems that most of the tourists, who stock here, know little and care less what it's all about, from the manner in which they gallop through the places. It's fashionable to say you have been here and that's enough. Most of the tourists are English and American. The former to a rite, but many of the latter are bored, and confident that those around don't know English, frankly express themselves. "I'm glad this town is the last, and we can have a good rest in Paris." I overheard one elderly lady with a down-home accent say to her tired husband. Both were being dragged around by an enthusiastic daughter. It was their fourth palace that morning, and there are some seventy-six palaces in Florence. Yes, the tourists are as much as the average Negro is with a good book, or intelligent address. These palaces were built many centuries ago, and today look like anything else but residences, cold and uninviting as homes I at least, would much prefer a steam heated flat in America. But in their day they were the last word in residences. The rich, of course, have moved out of most of these palaces, many of which are now used as public buildings. The poor, however, have continued to live in their homes built about the same time, and as the builders in those days made little or no provision for getting rid of the wastes of the human body by bathing or otherwise, one can imagine how it is. And as these houses are all of stone, they are ley in winter. Very little wood is used in building in Italy, as there are almost no trees. At least, I have seen comparatively few. And since Florence is surrounded by great snow-clad mountains, it gets petty cold. But all this is getting away from what ought to be one's chief topic in writing about Florence. Perhaps the most historical place here is the Duomo, or Cathedral, a great structure of bright-colored marble on the exterior, with a vast and gloomy interior, whose pillars remind me of the giant trees of California. In this place really centered the power of the great Medici family, which ruled the duchy for a long period. One of them, the Duke Guilliano, was assassinated near the altar at the moment of breaking the Enchaiar wafer. One of the conspirators to make sure that the Duke wasn't protected by a shirt of mail affec for Office" that the Bishop of the A. M. E. Church in Chicago threw the weight of his dynamic influence into the political campaign, which vitally involved the rights of the race. All honor to the good Bishop for temporarily lending his sacred function for beneficial secular interest. The grateful candidate, we are told, has offered him a tempting political position of great dignity and salary. This flattering offer was a high compliment to Bishop Carey, and indicates his great power and resourcefulness both within and without the church. But the offer was a benignable reflection on the A. M. E. Church. The good Mayor would not have dared dream of making a like offer to a bishop of a white denomination. Such an offer would have been deemed an insult throughout white Methodism. The idea of a bishop who has been called of God and set apart by his brethren as their chief spiritual guide giving up his holy function to become an official arithmetician is simply unthinkable. Whether Bishop Carey will follow the worthy example of his worthy colleague and decline the offer with thanks has not been stated. You can serve God through mammon, but you cannot serve God and mammon. "City Was Scene of Color Dispute Many Years Ago Between Bianchi and Neri" notionately placed his arm around the duke's waist as he entered, and said with a laugh: "Your grace, it seems to me you're getting fat." Here also, Savonarola, the great reformer, preached many of his most famous sermons. Savonarola possessed such burning eloquence that he won the people away from the Medici, and caused the Florentines to burn many of their art treasures, particularly their pictures of nude indies. However, he made the mistake of living in a day earlier than his own, for he mixed politics with his preaching (at least, so historians say) and was burned alive in the public square. Another famous Florentine was Niccolò Machiavelli, whose book "The Prince," has been the Bible of almost every successful politician from his day to that of Mussolini. His theory, in brief, that "rula by the people" is a pleasant fiction; that as a mass they have about as much intelligence and sense of direction as a hen whose neck has been wrung and thrown in the yard; that although they say much about what they want, they wouldn't know their rights even if they had them, hence the best thing was, like the doctor, to give them what you thought best for them, patriarchism, liberally sage-coated, religion, race or any other handy predication of theirs. This city was also the scene of a color question between blacks and whites (Biancio and Nerth which raged with even more violence than it did in America because the opponents were more evenly matched. The whites if I remember rightly, were headed by Dante and the blacks by Donatl. The latter, getting the upper hand, ordered Dante and several of his companions to be burned alive. Dante escaped and later got even with Donatl when he wrote his immoral work, "The Diving Comedy." He made Donatl one of the characters and pictured him on the road to Hell. This color distinction in the way was about as logical as the between two Southern whites, one between two Southern whites, one of which is of known Nero ancestry. The followers of Donna were called Blacks, because they represented the priesthood, which were black. The members of the struggle were about the same as our color question in America, which proves that if all the people in the south were (continued in Editorial Page) Missing and Mutilations NEWS OF CHURCHES AND FRATERNITIES With the I.B.P.O.E.of W.

Smith Appoints a Negro NO LONGER may it be said that Governor Smith has not appointed a single Negro to office during his four terms at Albany, for he has just appointed Alderman Henri W. Shields of the Twenty-first District, and who is of the same political and religious faith as the Governor, a member of the Temporary Commission created to investigate defects in the law of estates. The place carries no salary, is of a temporary nature, has little or no bearing on Mr. Shields' constituents, and little or no importance for the race from which he comes, but it is an appointment, nevertheless. MEANWHILE, the Democratic Governor is overlooking any number of executive actions which would endear him to Negro voters in the state, and breathe life into his oft-repeated assertion that he stands for a square deal for all citizens of the state, regardless of their race or color, politics or religion.

Johnson of the magazine and director of department of Research and Invest A Necessary Work THE REAL PRIZE WINNER in the contests conducted annually by the Opportunity Magazine is Charles S. Johnson, editor of the magazine and director of the Department of Research and Investigation for the National Urban League. Mr. Johnson, more than anyone else even the donors themselves is responsible for the success these contests have enjoyed; and to be responsible for their conduct is not the easiest job in the world. THE SLOGAN of the Urban League, "Not alms but opportunity," stands back of these contests just as it stands back of the league's other activities, and Mr. Johnson sees in them his own opportunity to be of service to young Negroes seeking openings in the literary, dramatic and artistic fields for the expression of their talents. It has been stated by critics of the league that it steps outside of its field when it promotes these contests, but we disagree with them. These would have the league devote all its energy and time to the welfare and employment problems of the pick and shovel brigade, housing EDITORIAL PAGE Those wishing any information I can supply may address me care of The American Express, Rue Scribe, Paris, from which my mail will be forwarded. Postage is five cents. "God's Trombones," Book by J. W. Johnson, Out The Viking Press, publishers, of 30 living place, announce that "God's Trombones," a book of seven Negro sermons in verse by James Weldon Johnson, has just been published and is on sale. The seven poems are entitled: "The Creation," "The Prodigial Son," "Go Down Death," Noah Built the Ark," The Crucifixion, "Let My People Go," and "The Judgment Day." The book contains a 12-page introduction about the place and importance of the old-time Negro preacher in the history of the race. In this introduction Mr. Johnson says: "The old-time Negro preacher has not yet been given the niche in which he properly belongs. He has been portrayed only as a semi-comic figure. He had, it is true, his comic aspects, but on the whole he was an important figure, and at bottom a vital factor. It was through him that the people of diverse languages and customs who were brought here from diverse parts of Africa and thrown into slavery were given their first sense of unity and solidarity. He was the first shepherd of this bewildered flock." The book is illustrated with eight drawings by Aaron Douglas. An article by William Pickens on "African Negroes and the Future of the Colonial System" is published in "Die Frieden-Warte" for April, 1927, a German internationalist magazine published in Berlin. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Hot Dogs and Civilization (From the New York Herald Tribune) (From the New York Herald Tribune) The Germans invented the hot dog, but it is America which has made it an agent of civilization. News comes from Edmonton, Alberta, that this detectable and strength-giving viand has penetrated to the northernmost shore of the American continent, and that in its wake have followed soda pop and ice cream. It was only lately that the hot dog invaded Chicago and that it is a fixture there as American jazz and American queen-of-champions. The hot dog has also journeyed from one Pacific isle to another till it has spanned the Western sea and come ashore in the Orient, where it doubles serves to make marines feel at home. This is a triumph which no other American product—not even pie—has scored in distant parts of the globe. And it is America which deserves the credit, not Germany, for only by unlimited facilities for supplying the materials and American methods of quantity production could the hot dog have been popularized on every shore of the seven seas. and other problems; whereas, we believe that if the Negro race is to reach full maturity in America, there must be development along each and every line of worthy human endeavor. This certainly should not exclude writers, artists, composers, sculptors, poets, critics and publicists. By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE THE EXACT AIM of Opportunity's contests, for which awards were made Saturday evening, has been very well stated: "To stimulate and foster creative literary effort among Negroes; to uncover hidden treasures of artistic materials in Negro life; to locate and aid in orienting Negro writers of ability; to stimulate and encourage interest in the serious development of a body of literature about Negro life." Work of this kind has inspirational value not alone to those who actively take part in the contests, but to the masses of Negroes as well. It helps to break down barriers reared by race prejudice to prevent the Negro from making his contribution to the world of art and letters, and helps to stimulate in him that pride of race and accomplishment so necessary to his advancement. Out of the Flood MISERY, grief, and economic ruin, in multiple forms, are the flotsam and jetsam of the harrowing Mississippi river flood, which, too, must have taught again the truth that man and the creations of his mind are but weaknesses personified when wind and water turn in anger against him. Our of the flood has come the truth that misery is no respecter of persons; that Negro dwellers whom economic and social customs forced over on the river front streets, like a boomerang, are now forced back upon the state and municipality as a den, which, at least, might have been lighter had justice prevailled more strongly in the days before the flood. Out of the flood there should have come a new vision of the futility of man, as compared with God, that after all man is made of clay, and whether black or white, faces God as dust—nothing more. Even before the flood subsided a mob—not out of the flood—resurrected itself near Little Rock. Ark, and made the world know that the flood had not washed away the spirit of cowardice. Another Warning If, out of the flood, there came a new dawn of a new brotherly love, a new reciprocal respect, a new regard for the Fatherhood of God; then these would atone for the fearful loss of life and purity, of hopes and ambitions. The gain would, outweigh the loss WHILE LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, was recovering from what threatened for a time to become a racial disturbance, following the finding of the body of a twelve-year-old girl in the belfry of a church, who had been foully murdered by a boy of fifteen or sixteen years of age, and almost immediately after the grand jury had taken cognizance of the mob demonstration and issued a warning that action would be taken if the law was violated, a colored man, who had been accused of attacking a white woman and her daughter, was hanged, his body riddled with bullets, then dragged through the streets and burned at the stake in the colored section of the city. This last was done, supposedly, as a warning to other colored men who might be inclined to attack white women. The clamoring mob, though still lives in the flooded areas. Biggory and intolerance have survived the flood. All it brought was misery and woe; and for those beset by all the plagues we have named—those of before as well as during and after the flood—we shall ever humbly pray. Africa, What Ho! AND now comes Prof. Alonzo NW. Pond, director of the Logan African expedition, and says that Africa is the birthplace of mankind, rather than Asia, or any part of the world. For proof, the scientist is said to be exhibiting the skeleton of a child of 60,000 B. C., which bespeaks a habitation in Algeria, on the Dark Continent. Prof. Pond gives the explanation that the 'European races doubtless sprang from Africans who emigrated to Europe across the land that joined Europe and Africa at the southern point of Italy and Gibraltar. Thus comes the theory that the Anglo-Saxons and their Nordic "skinsmen" may be but children of the Sahara, who turned pale under the rays of the Midnight Sun, rather than because of some Divine plan of the Almighty to create "superior" and "inferior" races, based upon color alone. IT WAS A WARNING, but not necessarily to Negroes alone. It was a warning to all men and women in the State of Arkansas who believe in the orderly process of law and its enforcement that there is an element in the state which does not give a tinker's damn for the law. Only a few hours before the disgraceful orgy the grand jury had declared that it would do its duty under any and all circumstances, and that "any misguided citizen who attempts to take the law into his own hands will have the same measure of justice meted out to him." This grand jury now has a splendid opportunity to show the stuff of which it is made. At any rate, here is a noted scientist who is brave enough to cast colorful aspersions upon the Nordics. And yet, who knows—the Great Beyond is probably a crucial melting pot of color, the artifices and the conceit of which are run through a fine sieve before being cast into canyons. In the meanwhile, however, Africa faces world renown. It may be the Fatherland of the fatherlands: Commenting upon Governor Al Smith's recent letter upon "Catholicism," Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland says: "Religion shall not be a factor in determining any man's right to office. If you do color, Government. Or if you will pudiate the infamous antiNegro circulates distributed by your managers during the last election? We hope you do. ATTACKS ON WOMEN and girls of any race are as much deplored by Negroes as a whole as they are by any other racial group as a whole. When the culprit is a Negro they are deplored more by Negroes than by other groups because all Negroes suffer as a consequence — both the guilty and the innocent — which is not true in the case of other racial groups. Then why is it so easy for so large a number of bloodthirsty white men in the South to make themselves believe that such warnings are effective—that lynching is a necessary evil? Certainly not to put an end to attacks on women, for it has not been proven that lynching has ever deterred a single crime of any sort. On the other hand lynching is itself a crime of the gravest sort, and one which gives rise to other crimes and undermines all respect for law in everybody. Rogers' Article (Continued from Feature Page.) white, it would be necessary for the exploiters of labor there to invent something else. Less than two hundred years ago in America it was as out of place to call a poor white woman "Mrs." as it is to call a colored woman "Mrs." in the South today. The title of such women was "Goody." In connection with the Duomo is a superstition, which is about as amusing as our belief that a horseshoe brings good luck. The great bell of the cathedral is rung on Holy Thursday, and mothers wait, babies in arms, for the first clang of the bell, believing that, if the children's eyes are washed at that moment they will never suffer from weak eyes, and that, if the little ones take their first steps then, they'll never be knock-kneed or bow-legged. One of the most picturesque spots in Florence is the Ponte Vecchio. This bridge, which is over the River Arno, a rapid river which runs through the heart of the town, was built in 1865. This bridge, as well as the streets leading to it, are occupied for some distance entirely by jewelry stores full of watches and beautiful trinkets. But as to art itself, the persons that seem most interested are the foreigners. And the Florentines can hardly be blamed, since the admission fee to most of the places is about twenty-five cents, which, in a country of low wages, is equivalent to fifty or sixty cents. The younger Florentines are also accused of being more interested in dancing jazz, such as it is, and moving pictures than the simple product (art). But this seems to the old cry. For the last three thousand years the younger generation has been going to the dogs. Is it not about time that it arrives? My next article will be about Venice, the only city of its kind in the world. The Mississippi Delta (From the New York Evening Post.) Some thought is being given to the $^2$ economic aspects of the flooding of millions of acres of fine farm land. The Mississippi delta produces more long staple cotton than any other area on earth, and a great part of the delta will be under water until June 1 or a little later. It is a question not yet to be settled whether cotton can be made when planted so late. Experts in New Orleans figure a yearly bales on this year's crop. This will take care of whatever supplies remains from last year's record-breaking fall, and if the rates recede in time for a crop this year, go ahead; maybe a long way toward making up the great damage of the floods. But labor is already very scarce in the delta, and many of the Negro tenants who have lost their all will drift to cities or to other sections of the South. The agricultural feature of the problem is of itself gigantic. Mr. Hoover has already said that rehabilitation is to be included in the relief program now so well under way, and much will be accomplished if the floods run off as quickly as is hoped and expected. At best, the situation, now and after normal conditions have returned, calls for all the courage of the sufferers and all the assistance the rest of the country can give. LETTERS MUSIC Nell Hunter in Musicale The auditorium of the popular little Grace Congregational Church was well well decorated of a monochromatic occasion of a Mother's Day musicale by Nell Hunter, dramatic soprano, and Marguerite Upshur, pianiste. The program, scheduled for 4 o'clock, found the astilts beginning about 4:45, much to the discontent and impatience of the gathering. Mrs. Hunter's program, though not purporting to be that of a full-fledged recital, was well chosen, and included gems from classic and modern masters. Heralded as an unusually fine vocalist, she lived up to many of the compliments that preceded her voice at times lacked mellowness, flexibility and apparent ease of producing certain tones of the upper register. Witful, however, she sang with style, poise and authority, to the evident delight of the enthusiastic audience that greeted her. Mrs. Marguerite Upshur proved an admirable accompanist notwithstanding the handicap of a piano miserably unsuited to accompanying a solo voice. Harry T. Burleigh gave a fruitful and interesting talk on the origin of Negro Spirituals to a group of librarians at the 135th Street Library on Friday afternoon, May 6. Mr. Burleigh also rendered pleasingly several of his Spirituals. A group of fifteen boys song several Spirituals, under the direction of Miss Roberta Bosley.—J. G. C. Taylor Gordon and Rosamond Johnson plan to sail for Europe May 20, on S. S. Rochambeau. Williams' Jubilee Singers Appear Here The Williams' Jubilee Singers, one of the best known of the traveling companies, gave a concert at the Mt. Calvary M. E. Church Friday evening before a highly pleased audience. They gave a varied program consisting of. Negro Spirituals, sentimental songs, classics, solos and duets. for Day Nursery An interracial musical program for the benefit of the Columbus Hill Day Nursery, 224 West Sixty-third street (Henrietta School Building) is to be given tomorrow evening at 5:30 p.m. Paul Robeson, John C. Simmons and his Modern Dance Orchestra, Miss Olia Alphonso, some of the stars from the Girls' Theatrical Club and several noted white artists are appearing on the program. A cake sale will follow. The Nationat, New York and Brooklyn Urban Leagues are presenting the Howard University Glee Club to the New York paule on Tuesday evening, May 31, at Town Hall, 123 West Forty-third street. This will be the first time that a glee club from a Negro college has appeared in New York City. The club consists of twenty-nine men. Their program will consist of classical and spiritual numbers and will be directed by Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, graduate of the Musical Department of Oberlin College, and who has for a number of years been director of music at Howard University. At the eighth annual concert of the Harry and Laura Prampin School of Music on Thursday evening, at Imperial Auditorium, West 129th street, a gold medal was awarded James Milner. The male quartet of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural School will present an hour's program of seldom heard Spirituals at WIP, Glimbel Brothers, Philadelphia. Thursday evening, May 10, from 10:05 to 11:05. The offering will also be heard in its entirety from WGBS, the Gimbel station here. Social Diseases CIVILIZATION seems to be a fruitful soil for the implantation and increase of venereal diseases. Social contacts in these latter days are very promiscuous indeed. The more we moderns develop intellectually in science, arts and culture, the more promiscuous and burning become our passions, and the greater the conflict with the restraining power of the will. It seems just now that the will power along this line is very low among our younger folk. Krigwa Players Win Second Place The Krigwa Players of Harlem, who have their Little Theatre in the basement of the 135th Street Public Library, and were among the entrées in the "Little Theatre Tournament" at the Frolic Theatre during the week of May 2, won second place in the tournament. Their contribution was the presentation of "The Fool's Erraand," by Miss Eulala Spence, a member of the group and also an instructor of elocution in one of the New York City high schools. During the week seventeen little theatres from all parts of the country were presented. The four best plays, chosen for their merit in both acting and competition, received a prize of $200. Two of the prizes were to be awarded by Samuel French, publisher, for the two best unpublished plays. The Krigwa Players were the recipient of one of these prizes. The prize was presented to them by Mr. William Hartwig, manager of the tournament, on Saturday evening after the close of their performance. This was the first time since the organization of the Little Theatre Tournament that a Negro group participated. In the cast of "The Fool's Errand" was Ehbel Bennett, Marion King, Lila Hawkins, Arlene Malcolm Dodson, William Holly, Ira Reed, Minnie Brown, Inez Bennett, Andrades Lindsay, George Lee, Samuel Carthen and Levi Alexander. The Krigwa Players is under the direction of Charles Burroughs. JAMES W.

My beauty, no more of those glances, No more of the eyes where the soft mischief dances, No more must I gaze on those witchery blue eyes, That lure with a promise your bosom denies.

Oh, wretched is the poor child of the sun. Tho' mingles the snows and the lava in one. Hot fevered by passion, but fettered by pride. His bliss and his bane is the love that's denied. Yes, altho' you dispel, like the stars of the night. The gloom of the favored one, azure eyes bright. And the fond, foolish wooer, your luster is she!

Social over days are very promiscuous moderns develop intellectually in the more promiscuous and burnt the greater the conflict with the will. It seems just now that line is very low among our Physicians are treating in large numbers young men and young women, unmarried, for syphilis and gonorrhoea. In Harlem these diseases pay their respects to girls fourteen and fifteen and young men sixteen to eighteen years of age. This is no exaggeration. This is commonplace. Not only the very poor and lowly young men and women are afflicted with this scourge. The high schools and the colleges seem to have the greater share. "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is not adhered to. In fact, it is not thought about. Religion and home life must pay more attention to this phase of Christianity. Modern life stimulates the primal passions; the restraining power of the will must be developed and made stronger. Medical science can show the ill effects, the peril of veneral diseases. Blood examination, such as a Wasserman blood test or a microscopic examination of the urine or mucous discharges of the urinary or vaginal canal, should be made in order to be able to detect the presence or absence of veneral poison. In syphilis the poison remains in the blood five, ten, fifteen or twenty years before it begins to manifest itself in certain symptoms—such as iritis (red eye, falling hair, ulcers on the leg, chronic tonsillitis and pharyngitis, chronic dyspepsia and liver enlargement, bone infection with severe bone pains, neuritis, paralysis and insanity. In fact, the germs of syphilis may invade any tissue, producing inflammation of the invaded part. The sad thing about this disease (syphilis) is the fact of its presence in the blood without it giving any symptoms in the early years, and then sometime later becoming outwardly with the fury of a volcano. The disease of syphilis is transferable through the blood from parent to child—congenital syphilis. It is also acquired, like gonorrhoea, through sexual contact. The disease of gonorrhoea is too very prevalent. In this case, however, outward manifestations of its presence is noticeable, and early treatment can be given. This disease is, however, very serious in women. The female nurses are usually severely injured by the disease, and this disease and surgical operation is usually the final result. Young men should be warned by their father during the years of early life of the ill effects of these social diseases. Mothers should instruct their daughters as they begin to bloom into womanhood of the dangers of these diseases. Sex instruction by parents, moral training by religious teachers, and scientific medical teachers, and many physicians can prevent many of the dangers of power of our young in the conflict with passion must be strengthened. This is the only safeguard.
