"COULD STAND IT NO LONGER," NOTE LEFT BY MAN SAYS
Frightened Lodger Runs to 135th Street Precinct and Notifies Police — $800 Secreted
Having killed himself after shooting his common law wife to death in their apartment at 59 West 139th street, early Monday morning, the body of Walter Herbert, 45, was found with a revolver clutched in his hand and nearby was found a note saying that he "could stand it no longer." It is believed by the police that he had suffered a nervous breakdown.
Anna Hatch, 40, the dead man's mate, was found dead in another room, lying across the bed of a lodger, Frank Swift, who was asleep when the incident occurred.
Swift told the police that he was awakened from his sleep by the woman staggering into the door, pulling the light on, and moaning that she was dying. As she fell across the bed, he said, he heard another shot. He said he became so frightened that he ran down the fire escape without waiting to dress and never stopped until he reached the West 135th street station.
Detectives Burns, Boyden and Bransfield returned to the house with the frightened man, but hesitated to enter the apartment for fear the man was alive and on a shooting rampage.
They finally entered the room with drawn revolvers and found Herbert, with a 32-calibre revolver in his hand, lying on the floor of the dark room. In Swift's room they found the body of the woman strutting across the bed, where she had died. The light was still on.
Major Hatch of Trenton, N. J., brother of the woman, be notified. Following the report of the Medical Examiner the bodies were removed to the City Morgue.

Watermelon Bandit Gives Up
Practical Joke Causes Short Furor in Boston
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 18.—A practical joke caused Wallace Sparkman, 16. 75 Adams avenue, Everett, to be sought by police authorities as a watermelon bandit.
When everybody was sweltering in the tropical heat of last Wednesday, including James Conroy, u fruit and vegetable vendor at 4 Pleasant street, Sparkman and another young man swung suddenly around the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Pleasant street in a truck. An exceptionally large and extremely red half watermelon, sparkling on ice on Conroy's stand, immediately attracted the attention of Wallace, who sprang from the truck and in a flash tossed the melon in the car and sped away.
Conroy, steaming in sweat and thinking about the loss of his prize melon from his own farm, saw visions of bold, daring bandits with drawn guns in a closed sodan, bent on cleaning up his place. He immediately telephoned police headquarters just 40 yards away. A general alarm was broadcast. Sparkman heard of the excitement he had created. The following morning he went to Conroy and claimed responsibility for the robbery. Conroy recognized him as a friend who worked next door. The police were called off, the melon paid for, and the men shook hands.

NEW YORK SAFE BLOWER GIVEN STIFF SENTENCE IN BOSTON
"Jerry" Miller, Convicted of Three Safe-Blowing Jobs, Which Netted About $15,000, Trailed by Laundry Mark
BOSTON, July 20.—"Jerry" Miller, young New York "peter man," dapper and ultra Fifth avenue, will continue to wear pencil striped togery, but the stripes will be running the wrong way. He was sentenced by Judge Fosdick to States Prison in Charlestown for a term of fifteen to thirty years last Tuesday, in Suffolk's Superior Court, for three Boston safe-blowings that netted the alleged "soup artist" $15,000.
Miller was his own counsel, using "East Side" language to rebuke the authorities for having the temerity to hold him for the crime. After, sentence was imposed, the condemned man crelled out "such things won't exist some day when we'll be living in civilization."
Judge Fosdick, who termed Miller "a refugee of the Baumes Law," retorted, "some day, perhaps, crime won't exist. We don't propose to be the dumping ground for the scum of New York driven out of that state by the severity of the Baumes Law, which makes life imprisonment mandatory for the fourth conviction of a felony. Perhaps the news of your conviction will travel back to the New York underworld by the grapevine route that Boston is an unsafe place for safe blowers."
Miller blew safes at the Penfield Jewelry Company, 35 Washington street; Sarnow-Irvine Hat Store, 353 Washington street, and the Oriental Tea Company, owned by E. Waldo Reed, on India street.
A handkerchief which had been used as a bandage for a cut finger and found by the police in the tea store bore laundry mark 67. Checking up on this bit of linen, the trail led to 202 Broadway, a lodging house, and to Miller's room, where the arrest was made after other bits of linen bearing the same laundry mark of the handkerchief were found. The peterman's collar was also marked 67. Nitroglycerine, soft soap dynamite, a complete outfit of burglar's tools, jimmies and 197 diamond rings valued at $14,934, were found in Miller's room. He protested his innocence, claiming all this to be the property of a roommate whose clothes he was wearing. Miller's record showed that he had served two terms on Blackwell's island, New York, one for unlawful entry, the other for an attempted burglary.
NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1927 Entered as second-class matter Dec. 31, 1899, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Half-Savage White Family Found in Pa.
(Preston News Service.)
UNIONTOWN, Pa., July 18—A strange, yet sad, tale of a white family consisting of a father and four children, living in the woods of Bullskin township in a semi-civilized stage, was related by county detectives who brought Beulah Knopsider, twenty, and her brother, William, twenty-one, to the Fayette county home.
The girl was clad sparsely in torn and dirty clothes, her hair knotted and thrown over her shoulders. She stared wild-eyed when she saw a street car for the first time and was frightened by automobiles. It was the first time she had seen either, although she had lived all her life within a few miles of Unfortown.
Neither the girl nor her brother could read or write. Officers said that when they approached the home of the family, which consisted of a two-room structure of rough boards, logs, chunks, stones and mud dobbles, the noys climbed into a tree.
Social workers and welfare society officials have interested themselves in the family and efforts are being made to give the children a rudimentary education. It appears that the children never wore shoes and knew nothing about things of the civilized world. However, William had seen automobiles and once with his father several years ago when he was about 10 years of age made a trip to Unfortown.
Society Matron Commits Suicide
Social Elite of Philadelphia
Shocked by Death of
Mrs. Rodgers
PHILADELPHIA, July 15.—In the suicide recently of Mrs. Rosa Vassar Rodgers, a graduate of Howard and Cornell Universities, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. D. N. Vassar, Virginia educators, and cousin of Dr. Eugene Kinkle Jones of the National Urban League, tragedy stalked in the socially elite circles of the Negro race. Returning home from a police hearing, during which the young woman and her husband and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Harris of Germantown had sought to iron out their marital difficulties, and from which Mrs. Vassar left under a bond of $300 to keep the peace after having been arrested for slapping the face of Mrs. Harris, she lay down on the bed and turned on the gas. Mr. Rodgers found there later and rushed her to the Prosthetist Hospital, three blocks away, but she was pronounced dead upon arrival. Her fellow sorority sisters were pallbearers at her funeral. The deceased was editor-in-chief of the Ivy Leaf, official organ of the Alpha Kappa, Alpha sorority.
The mother, Mrs. Alice Kniclec
Vassar, was the first Negro graduate
and the first Negro teacher in
the State of Virginia. She received
her degree from Howard in
1874. The father was graduated
from Colgate in 1877, and taught at
Virginia Union University for 25
25 years. Mrs. Charles Lewis, a
prominent social worker here, is a
sister of the deceased.
One child, Lenora, age nine, was
born out of the 11-year union of
Mr. and Mrs. Rodgen.

WIFE SUES JOHN EARLS, NAMING NEW CRAIG PROPRIETOR
Separation, Counsel Fee and Alimony Sought Also Brings Alienation Suit Against Mrs. Romayne Burton
Through her attorney, T. Douglas Wetmore. 1440 Broadway, Mrs. Alice May Earls has brought an action in the Supreme Court of New York County for separation from her husband, John E. Earls, a man long known in Harlem's political circles. She has also brought a suit against Mrs. Romayne Burton for $50,000 for the alleged alienation of her husband's affections.
Mrs. Burron, who lives at 116 West 124th street, with whom Mrs. Earls alleges that her husband has lived since he left home on March 19 last, is one of the new proprietors of Craig's dining room, located at 102 West 120th street. In her action, she states that Mr. Earls has been employed as manager at Craig's at a salary of $250 per month, board and room.
The estranged couple were married in April of 1915 by the late Rev. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Church, then located in West Fifty-third street. They have no children.
No special amount of temporary alimony is asked, but Mrs. Earls asserts that up to the time that her husband left her he spent $2 per month toward her support, during which time he was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad. She also sets forth the fact that she "owns no real estate or valuable personal property, and is without funds to prosecute this action," and implores the court to grant her reasonable counsel fee, and such permanent relief as the court finds is warranted by the circumstances.
Slayer of Father-in-Law Asks Leniency for Aide
(Preston News Service).
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 18—Clyde Reese Batchelor, who died in the electric chair early Friday, left a letter to Governor Graves asking that Hays Leonard, convicted with him, be spared the death penalty.
Batchelor was convicted of having caused Leonard, his employee, to kill Batchelor's father-in-law, and in his letter to the Governor Batchelor said Leonard was of low mentality and only a tool in his hands. Leonard, under death sentence, has an appeal before the pardon board, and Batchelor's letter asked commutation to life imprisonment.
Julian Draugh confessed early Monday, according to Chief of County Detectives Ferd David at New Brunswick, N. J., to the murder of Miss Ethel McWalters, with whom he is said to have been living in a little shack in the rear of the Holmes Marshall School near there.
Joseph Pelote of $1 Mercer street, Newark, received an unsigned telegram asking him to notify Mrs. Nora Williams of New York to notify Miss Ethel Large of New York to go to the shack, where she would find Miss McWalters dead. Miss Large did so. The woman was in the cellar, a bullet in her right shoulder, and with her skull crushed apparently by some heavy blunt instrument.
Detective David visited the hut and while he was there in walked Draugh. According to David the man was evidently brought back by morbid curiosity. He was arrested.
Lafayette Cashier Held for Trial
Accused of Selling Liquor in Theatre Box Office
Ebel Carrington, 25, 2283 Seventh avenue, cosigner on the Lafayette Theatre, 2237 Seventh avenue and 131st street, was held in $1,005 bail for trial in Federal Court on a charge of selling liquor in the Lafayette box office, when arranged before Commissioner Cotter in the Federal Building Thursday. Bernard Burtt, Lafayette manager, was arranged at the same time, but was discharged when it was proved that he was in no way connected with the incident. Complaints had been received at prohibition headquarters concerning the alleged sale of liquor in the Lafayette box office fully three weeks before Policeman Roberts of the Sixth Division obtained his evidence the night of June 22. It is reported. The date for Miss Carrington's trial has not yet been set. She has been released on bond. Joseph B. Finkelstein, 2 Lafayette street, was the defendant's attorney.
At the time of the raid on the box office, Frank Schiffman, Lafayette manager, explained that it was the result of a frame-up on the part of Gertrude Smith, a discharged employee.
Miss Smith, a former cashier at the theatre, denies being charged and stated that she had resigned her position because of improper conduct on the part of the management. Miss Smith was not involved in the box office thefts which occurred some time ago and she denies giving any information to anyone concerning anything that happened at the Lafayette during her period of employment there.
CHARGES AGAINST
PORTER DISMISSED
Charges of felonious assault and violation of the Sullivan Law, were dismissed Thursday against Walter Johnson, 29, a porter, 54 East 123d street, by Magistrate Ewald in Harlem Court.
Johnson was arrested by Policeman Mahoney of the East 126th street station on complaint of Walter Freeman, an engineer, of 54 East 123d street, who charged that Johnson attacked him with a pair of brass knuckles, striking him several times about the head and face. Freeman was unable to substantiate the charge he made and Johnson was discharged.

Considerable mystery surrounds a Bonlin divorce raid staged about two o'clock Sunday morning on an apartment occupied by a Mrs. Davis, white, at 419 West 128th street, in an effort to trap Dr. Walter Ivey Delph, 248 West 139th street. Later on in the morning several shots were fired by police in front of the doctor's residence, causing quite an uproar in Harlem's most exclusive block.
The physician says he was in another apartment in the same flat attending a patient at the time of the 128th street apartment raid. Mrs. Delph and the private detectives say that they saw him run out of the white woman's apartment through a fire-escape window and into another apartment.
WHITE ELKS AGREE TO REMOVAL OF BAN ON I.B.P.O.E.
White Grand Lodge Agrees That There Is No Longer Any Animosity Between Branches of Order
New York Elks were jubilant when it became known late Saturday that the Legal Committee of the Convention Committee, which went to Cincinnati to see if it could get an immunity grant from the white grand lodge of Elks, which was meeting in that city last week, was told that the restraining injunction will ultimately be removed from the court records of the State of New York. Counsellors Francis B. Rivers and Pope B. Billups, assisted by Counsellor Alex T. Schanck, white of Newark, appeared last Thursday before Frank Malley, newly elected exalted ruler of the B. P. O. E. Malley, who halls from Springfield, Mass., succeeds Charles H. Graklelow of Philadelphia as the head of the white Elks. In the conference with the new white exalted

SECTION ONE
The doctor further says he mistook the operatives for hold-up men and when he came out of the apartment he went into a phone booth at 2383 Seventh avenue, and notified Police Headquarters.
Two uniformed men were swiftly dispatched to the doctor's aid, and they accompanied him, at a distance, to his home.
Upon reaching his house, a Boulin operative is said to have suddenly confronted him, but a shot and the cry of "Halt!" from the doctor's policeman escort brought the man's hands high in the air. At the same moment, Boulin's automobile, which had been standing in front of the Delph home, drove off, but two shot from the cop's gun brought it back quickly, the doctor related. Its occupants were ordered out at the point of a revolver, and Chief Detective Herbert S. Boulin flashed his badge and identified his men. The physician's wife, Mrs. Edith Delph, Boulin's client, also climbed out of the car.
The cop's barking guns awakened the entire street. Audrey Miller of the stage team of Miller and Lyles, 244 West 139th street, and William Smith, a resident in the Delph home, hurried to the doctor's aid, not knowing exactly what it was all about.
The Delphs have been married eleven years, and have a daughter ten years old. According to Mrs. Delph, her husband has been running around with other women, as disclosed by investigations by the Boulin Detective Agency, covering the past six months. Mistreatment and failure to support her and her daughter are among other charges she makes against her husband. She is now teaching school in Chester and has always been self supporting, she said. What legal action may be taken on the part of the wife is not definitely known at this time.

AfricanHereSeeks Trade Relations
Winfred Tete-Ansa, 206 West 129th street, founder, organizer and director of the West African Cooperative Producers Society, LCU is opening negotiation spaces with American merchants for millions of dollars' worth of trade with the African chiefs of Nigeria and the Gold Coast. Chief Amoah, also here, is the diplomatic representative of the native chiefs.
Mr. Ansa's purpose is to get better prices for the African products than heretofore, the British having been, until now, the chief buyers, paying what they pleased and selling at their own price. Mr. Ansa proposes to have the chiefs deal directly with the American interests and eliminate the British middleman.
The African trade in cocoa, palm oil, mahogany and other products represents a gross of $270,000,000 annually. The yearly trade in cocoa alone, he said, exceeds $50,000,000. The Gold Coast produces 20,000 tons of cocoa, or one-half the world's supply.
"From time immemorial," said Mr. Ansa, "the natives have never trusted their money to anyone, but have always buried it. We are now organizing the Interstate Commercial Bank, and this vast buried treasure of many millions will pour into this new institution."
Commenting on the African trade, Mr. Ansla said: "West Africa has an area of 4,355,000 miles and a population of 69,000,000. With the exception of the Republic of Liberia and the former West German Africa, the whole territory is under the administration of European powers. The Gold Coast has an area of 91,900 square miles and a population of 2,500,000; Nigeria has an area of 367,928 square miles and a population of 19,700,000.

Stole Car to Take Wife to Station
Policemen on Stoop Identify Auto as Belonging to Mrs. Robinson
Edward Wellington, 32, 313 East Ninety-ninth street, was held for a further hearing when arraigned before Magistrate Ewald, in Harlem Court, charged with the alleged theft of a Hudson automobile belonging to Mrs. Florence Robinson, 152 West 142d street.
Mrs. Robinson reported to the police that her automobile was stolen from in front of 1755 Third avenue, where she was visiting friends. A few hours later Wellington, driving the alleged stolen car, drove up to the East 104th street station, and demanded the arrest of his wife, who sat in the car. Wellington charged that his wife kept late hours and associated with bad companions.
While Wellington was in the police station making his complaint, Detectives Salter and Brown, who were seated on the stoop of the police station, recognized the car as the one reported stolen by Mrs. Robinson. She was summoned and identified the car as her property. Wellington was then placed under arrest on a charge of grand larceny, while his wife was told to go home. Wellington explained that he did not intend to steal the car, merely taking it to bring his wife to the police station. When assigned in court, Mrs. Robinson declined to press a complaint against Wellington. The magistrate, however, refused to permit her to withdraw the complaint and Wellington was held for a further hearing.

Prejudice More Acute in Africa Than Here,
He Says
EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass., July 20—The principal speaker of the day, both at the afternoon forum and the evening auditorium meeting of the Northfield Women's Foreign Missionary Conference, a day last week, was Max Yergan, foreign Y. M. C. A. secretary, Mr. Yergan declared that race prejudices were far more acute in South Africa, where he was been stationed, than in the United States. "South Africa has a native, or black, population of about 5,500,000, and a European, or white, population of about 1,500,000," he said. Outnumbered as he is by nearly five to one, the average European is controlled by fear—fear of this more numerous African population becoming more generally efficient and using its efficiency in industry, politics and education, to the possible disadvantage of the Europeans."
Discussing the race question in South Africa, Mr. Yergan pointed out to the audience the fact that a law excluding Africans from skilled industries where they would be in competition with Europeans recently has been passed. Two bills under contemplation would remove the freedom of movement by laborers and the right of direct vote for Government officials, he said.
Mr. Yergan was asked by one of the delegates his views on the efforts being made to return the various races to their original geographic locations.
"That question goes quite far back, and you must be the first ones to decide," he declared. "I think I would rather have to ask you the question: Could you do away with all these beautiful buildings and return to crowded Europe?"
White Elks May Lift Injunction
(Continued from Page 1.)
ruler were Grakelow and Attorney Rupp of Allentown, Pa., chairman of the judiciary committee of the B.P. O. E.
INJUNCTION TO BE LIFTED.
The New Yorkers stated their case and, without much parley, laid their cards on the table. Would the white Elks, who obtained the injunction against colored Elks, help to now remove that injunction? That was the only question that really concerned the men sent from New York.
In dealing with Grand Exalted Ruter Malley of Springfield, Mass, the New Yorkers were particularly fortunate in having a square-minded man from the New England States and in Grakelow of Philadelphia, who was formerly Director of Public Safety in that city, they also had to deal with a man who has a broad mind in his thoughts towards the race. These two men soon convinced Attorney Rupp of Allentown that there was no longer any animosity between white and colored Elks, and that there was no longer any reason for the injunction.
Attorney Rupp then, agreed to send to the New Yorkers a signed statement to that effect. With this statement, the law committee will go before the Supreme Court and ask that the injunction be removed.
DINE WILSON HERE.
Friday night at a downtown restaurant Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and the grand legal adviser of the order, Perry Howard of Washington, were dined by a part of the New York convention committee.
Present at that dinner, in addition to Mr. Wilson and Attorney Howard, were: Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, chairman of the local committee; Billy Pierce, David W. McDaniels, Joseph (Blondy) Brown, Thomas H. Brown, Caspar Holstein, John Duncan, Andrew T. Mitchell, Charles M. Hanson, Jerome P. Otley, Samuel D. Mitchell, and Robert P. Braiddecks. Caspar Holstein was chairman of the meeting.

MEET DISCRIMINATION AT CONEY
Manager Steeplechase Park Asked Deposit of $25 for Suits
Race discrimination at George C. Tilyou's famous Steeplechase at Coney Island continues unabated. Within the last several years numerous complaints have been lodged against this popular amusement enterprise. Suits have also been filed against it; some of them successfully.
The most recent case came to our attention when Miss Fannie Potter, of Evergreen, L. L., accompanied by Ernest Huggins and his sister, Miss Josephine Huggins, from New Haven, Conn., a graduate of the Yale School of Music, visited the Steeplechase a few weeks ago.
After purchasing combination tickets, they entered the Steeplechase and applied for suits, which are loaned for twenty-five cents each, for the purpose of protecting one's clothes while enjoying the various amusements. They were sold tickets but before given a suit they were told that an O. K. from the office was necessary.
FIST FIGHT ENDS IN FELONIOUS ASSAULT
Charged with felonious assault, James Finch, 32, 67 West 131st street, was arraigned before Magistrate Goodman in Heights Court.
At the office they received the information from George Tillyou. Tillyou, that a deposit of $25 was necessary before they would be loaned a suit. The party, humiliated, left the place disgustedly, after seeing white patrons apply for and receive suits at the twenty-five cent rate without further question.
Desiring to bring suit against the place, Miss Potter asked a reporter from this paper to accompany her to the island last Wednesday afternoon. Combination tickets were purchased from Rupert Burns about $30 p. m., and lounge suit tickets were applied for from Jimmy Patterson. Patterson would not sell them a ticket, giving the usual explanation that an O. K. slip from the office would first be required.
At the office. George Tilyou, the son, told them that a deposit of 550 would be required. The deposit was not paid.
When asked why they discriminated, Tilyou refused to reply, but stated that this deposit was required of everyone. Patterson had previously made himself look ridiculous by stating that he had just sent "two little boys over to get 10. K. slips." Perhaps the "two little boys" each paid a deposit of 125. The cost of the suits, including the material, is said to be not over $1.50.

Wilfred Butler's Hearing Continued
Magistrate Urges That Agreement Be Effected Meanwhile
At the hearing of Wilfred G. Butler, 55. 2207 Seventh avenue, formerly recorder for the grand commandery, Knights Templars (Prince Hall), charged with petty larceny, Magistrate Goodman, sitting in Heights Court Thursday, made the following statement:
"I will take this case with me to the First District Court, where I will resume hearing it on August 16. In the meantime, gentlemen, I advise you to come to some kind of amicable agreement among yourselves concerning this matter. The interests of the order should be considered above those of the individual."
The charge against Butler was brought by E. Frank Shipley, 150 West 140th street, recorder of the Ascension Commandery, who deposes and says that Butler refuses to turn over to him certain books belonging to the order.
Preceding the indictment of Frederick S. Langston, former eminent grand commander of the order, by a Grand Jury in May, on a charge of misappropriation of funds, many of the officers were suspended. Butler was suspended October, 1926, until January 18, 1927, by the Blue Lodge, and has since been suspended by the Grand Lodge.

Allie Sullivan, 26.68 West 133d street, recently had the very unique experience of having been stabbed in the chest by an unknown assailant, then pronounced dead by a nurse after he had been treated for his wounds at Harlem Hospital, and the medical examiner and his relatives notified of his death, only to regain consciousness. To the surprise of the nurse and the relief of his kin, Sullivan was found sitting up in bed reading a newspaper.
While talking on the street to Nattle Felton, 18 East 132d street, Sullivan was stabbed and taken to the hospital by Dr. Wilkinson. While Detectives King and Ross were questioning Miss Felton, a hospital attache notified them of Sullivan's death. In the meantime, the medical examiner had been notified, and his relatives apprised of his death, but were later informed of the error.
Miss Felton was afterward released. The nurse explained that she thought Sullivan dead, as he had fallen into a coma, apparently due to the loss of blood. On Friday physicians reported Sullivan's condition to be serious, in spite of the fact that he is able to sit up. Detectives are searching for his offender.

THEY cannot run a home and a school, too," says J. Lewis Coath, president of the Chicago School Board, appointed by Mayor Thompson, in telling of a recent survey he started in order to learn if marriage causes inefficiency among teachers.
This particular survey is to determine the most efficient teachers how on the payrolls. More than that—it is to make room for the eligible teachers (mostly unmarried), for whom no jobs are available.
Well and good this appears to be. But, with several of our leading cities making as their target the married teachers, we question the wisdom of it all. If a woman is fortunate enough to have a husband, she should remain eligible for any job for which she has prepared herself. If she is of the home-loving type, she will in time find herself returning of her own free will to her home and family—T.E.B.

Tea, ice and served in tall glasses, is given a luscious flavor if a tiny spray of fresh mint is put in the top of each glass.
Dainty sandwiches with various fillings may be served on such occasions. Even little baking powder biscuits cut with an oval cut are "intraactive" and appetizing food. They should be buttered in the kitchen and served hot. These biscuits may be brought in on a sandwich plate or in a Japanese bread basket lined with a plain doily.

for you to use that brush—you may have dandruff yourself. You don't use another's tooth brush, so why use another's hair brush? Individual combs and brushes are just as essential as tooth brushes. Each member of the family should have and use his own comb and brush. You should sterilize them frequently by boiling or soaking them in a solution of one teaspoon of vinegar. The bristles of the brush will not become so soft if rinsed in water to which a bit of alum has been added. I have often noticed many women who were extremely careful of their personal cleanliness, but who are given to borrowing combs from each other. This is

BUSHWICKS WHIP ROYALS
Gasoline Torch and Sawdust Called Into Play at Dexter Park
It was not until after they had given a demonstration of one of the various uses of gasoline torches and sawdust, respectively, that they were able to stage a ball game at Dexter Park Sunday afternoon. The start of the first game of a scheduled double-header between the Bushwicks and Brooklyn Royal Colored Giants was delayed so late by a cloudburst that the second game was called off altogether. It would have been a torture thing for the Royals had the diamond masseuse at the Woodhaven ballyard been unable to locate the gasoline torches, for the Bushwicks ran off with an easy 9 to 4 victory over the Giants in the lone contest. The victory was the Bushwicks' third straight over the Royals.
The crowd of dauntless fans who turned out determined to see a ball game or get drenched in the attempt was treated, to sterling pitching exhibitions by Stanley (Lefty) Baumgartner and Bill Hockenbury, hauemartner, who was signed especially to hurt against the colored teams, whose batters are most side swingers, and who has finally hit his stride against his ducky brethren, toil for the first five innings against the Royals and held them to nine well-cattered hits, but found the heat too oppressive and was forced to give way to Hockenbury. The latter stinted the Giants to four goose eggs in the last half.

Flournoy Goes to Showers
Lefty Flourence started on the mound for the Royals, but gave way to Cannonball Dick Redding after two were out in the third inning. Redding, his giant frame a mass of perspiration, did fairly well in the remaining five and one third sessions, having only one had inning—the sixth. The Bushwicks sewed up the pastime in the third inning with four runs, doubles by Buck Lal, Todd Gerner and Joe Weiss playing a large part in the attack. Carson made the Royals' only extrabase hit, a double. Weiss and Kewpie Dean did some tall inning for the Bushwicks, each getting three hits in five turns. Finley and Brown, with Caron, were the losers' leading skiffers.

News of the
By BILL
THE great majority of mankind are so fickle that one failure of their hero will cause them to forget the multitude of his successes. Harry Wills was a success as a pugilist. He was neither a coward nor a weakling. He was not great in the art of defense like Jack Johnson, but his sturdy fighting qualities made him for years feared by the whole pugilistic list, from "champions" down. He was not a coward, and he was not weak, as his many battles during the years amply show.
The pugilistic decline comes much earlier and much more rapidly than the decline of other manly powers. It is in the exuberant and overflowing energies and vitalities of the twenties that one stands the grind best.
And yet the great joke on the "champs" and other heavies of the white race was that they feared Wills long after it was necessary, perhaps, to fear him. It is a commentary on the well-known fact that, in every line of competition, the American whites fear an American black, even when his actual chances may be only one out of five or ten. That is a part of the penalty they pay for their discriminating attitude toward the Negro — he is a bugaboo, to their minds, in spite of their open boasts of "superiority" and their bombastic hogging of the newspaper headlines. They feared Wills, and they would not give him a chance, even when it was too late for Wills to take it.
But the real superiority of Harry Wills as a sporting man and a pugilist lay in his PERSONAL CHARACTER. Undoubtedly there has been no man of his profession, black or white, who was or is as clean and manly, as sober and sane a citizen, as is Harry Wills. If the end of his listic career is marked by his late fight, in which he met the defeat which all will finally meet who parate his profession, he can nevertheless retire with the honor with which few others have retired—he may be no longer a great pugilist and a menace to dolging white "champions," but he is an estimable MAN.
Of course, those noisy hangers-on and limelight-hunters, who were bestowing flattery on Wills in the days of his front-page glories, will now just as naturally run away to bestow their treacherous flattery upon others who will come after.
But those who admired HARRY WILLS much more than they admired his profession will still remember that he has been a credit, not a dishonor nor a disgrace, to his friends and his race.
Long and happy life to him in whatever career he may now choose!
DIMIE CLARK, a Harlem light-heavyweight, won on a four owl Anastrelon of the East Side in the Philadelphia's Queensboro Stadium, Long Island City. Tuesday evening of last week. The East Side came up the hit Clarke low, and it looked as if the Harlem scraper was due for a mean posting. Theound ended 12 seconds after it had started.
D. MALCOLM, a light-heavy of the Salem-Crescent Club, was knocked for a row of bricks by George Hortman, national amateur light-heavyweight of a special tilt that featured the show staged at the Golden City Arena, Camashe, Tuesday evening of last week. The going sounded. Hortman floored his opponent with a hard left hook to the jaw after laughing in rhythm and left to the abdomen. The Salem-Crescent boy stood up under the punishment well and shows promise of going somewhere if he sticks in the game.
HARRY SCOTT, formerly of Jamaica, but who now resides somewhere in Harlem, journeyed to West Africa, and boxed a brisk ten-round draw with Dobby Mays, of New London, that featured the show in that city, and sledged, but wore his adversary down with body punches as the battle progressed. Mays was prepared for the tour, and another round or two would have been his finish.

WILLIE was practically beaten before he entered the arena, and plainly showed, it when they were instructed. He had no instructions. He had absolutely no defense and didn't even make any sort of attempt to fight back. His greatness was evident. With the third and final session almost over, Walker went down from a right to the law for a count of nine. Willie's unprotected jaw that sent him through the ropes. He was shown back into the arena.

TOURNAMENT AT HAMPTON
TOURNAMENT AT HAMPTON
Eleventh National Tennis Tournament Will Start on August 15
By CHARLES H. WILLIAMS.
The stage is all set at Hampton Institute for the eleventh National Tennis Tournament, August 15-20.
Arrangements have been perfected to the minutest detail as to supplying tournament equipment and completing arrangements for an extensive program of recreation and entertainment. A great deal of time and money have been expended in getting the eight courts in perfect playing condition. They are ideally located with regard to the sun, running north and south, with sufficient space on the sides and ends; a special preparation of Dowfake calcium chloride is being used to harden the surface of the courts and to insure the participants fast playing.
Seating accommodations will be provided for a thousand spectators and special provisions have been made for parking cars. Hampton Institute is also planning to accommodate both players and spectators to the limit of her dormitory capacity and the largest school dining room will be available for the players and other visitors.
The entertainment for the week will start Monday evening. August 15, with a reception for the visiting women at Katherine House, the teachers' club. Tuesday evening there will be a watermelon feast on the lawn, when the visitors will have an opportunity to meet the staff and teachers of Hampton Institute, as well as the students of the Summer School. Later in the evening there will be a dance at Hay Shore Hotel.
One of the large Cape Charles steamers, accommodating 650 people, will be used on Wednesday evening for a trip over Hampton Roads and the historic James River. On Thursday evening the musical and dramatic talent from among the players and guests will render a program in Oden Hall, which will be followed by a dance at Bay Shore Hotel. On Friday evening the grand reception and dance will be held at Bay Shore Hotel.
A special sightseeing trip will be conducted over some of the places of its host, such as the National Soldiers' Home, Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe, Langley Field, Hampton and Newport News, Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown are within a few hours' ride of Hampton.
Picked Teams to Play Cricket
Virgin Island All-Stars Will Lineup Against Bermudians at New York Oval
The coming Saturday will see a hotly contested cricket match between the Virgin Island All Stars and a crack aggregation of field men known as the Bermudians at New York Oval, 145th street. Although cricket is supposed to be something on which Englishmen and Australians seem to have a "corner" the Virgin Islanders can boast a most remarkable record in that they have for years not only held their own with the players from the British Islands, but have on more than one occasion coped the championship of the Metropolitan Cricket Association.
The Islanders have always taken the field undaunted against their opponents, for many of them have played against some of the best England could produce long before they came to this country. In sports in which the boys from St. Thomas have taken part they have always made good.
Some years ago after Uncle Sam had felt all settled in the famous Danish West Indies, the youngsters took up baseball and whipped every team from elsewhere which tried to cope with them. The Porto Ricans, who had been playing the game for more than a quarter of a century, tried to put a crimp in the St. Thomasians, but went back to Porto Rico saddler and wiser.
Then the men of Uncle Sam's navy and the Marines tried conclusions with the natives on the diamond, much to their sorrow. The colored boys made such a wonderful record over the white sailors and "devil dogs" they hastily drew the color line and now the natives and navy men are never seen engaging in the national sport. Pretty small on the part of the whites, but prejudice follows the flag and where Englishmen play cricket, tennis and other games with the natives of England's colonial possessions, Uncle Sam draws the line.
If the afternoon is a good one,
THE tennis season of 1927 will witness one of the most unique events in the history of the A. T. A. a combination of state associations and one of the largest independent clubs in the country has been formed for the purpose of promoting the Second Annual Open Sectional Championships at the industrial School, Bordentown, N. J., the week of August 1 to 8, inclusive.
IN 1925 the New Jersey Tennis Association entertained the A. T. A. at the National Championships, and many believe that this tournament has not been surpassed for excellence of general arrangements, beauty and value of prizes and number of entries.
IN 1926 the New Jersey Tennis Association promoted the first annual Eastern Open Sectional Championships to be named wonderful equipment of the year, and perfectly appointed clay courts on which the 1925 Nationals had been held. The Easterns were run on the same scale as the Nationals of the year previous, with as great satisfaction to players and spectators.
THE New York Tennis Association is the oldest association in the A. T. A. and the annual New York State Open Championship has long been regarded as the national tennis event in the East, attracting at times a larger entry of the Nationals. New York's large number of players and her excellent corps of officials are giving 100 per cent support to the great joint management for 1927.
THE Pennsylvania Tennis Association is a newly organized body which has brought together clubs in all sections of Pennsylvania, many of which possess a million miles of william winters history of the A. T. A. appears in its list of officials, and its membership includes one of the oldest clubs in the annals of A. T. A. tennis.
THE Germantown Tournament has long been a fixture which has attracted the highest type of players and has always given a great impetus to tennis in Pennsylvania. This club includes in its membership, several holders of national and sectional titles and has a wonderful equipment of courts.
THE full resources of each of the organizations referred to above and the energy which has made the Eastern Championships, the New York Open Tournaments and the Germantown Open Tournaments such success will be concentrated on this joint enterprise, with the intention of making it the most suspendously successful event in the history of A. T. A. tennis.
THE winners in each class in this tournament will receive the titles of East-Open Champion, New York State Open Champion, New Jersey Open and New York Open Champion, and trophies emblematic of each of these titles will be awarded to the winners.
LINCOLNS SCORE SPRINGFIELD OVER CAMDEN AND CAPS EVEN
The timely hitting of Corporal Charlie Mason and the star fieldings of "Jelly" Gardner gave the Lincoln Giants a 4 to 3 victory over the strong Camden, N. J., team at Protectory Oval Sunday, July 17. On the day before, the Camden team had broken the Lincoln's winning streak of a dozen straight games winning by the same score, 4 to 3. This victory caused the visitors to think had the "indian" sign on the local team.
In the first inning Mason hit a ball for two bases that might have ordinarily been a home run. It hit the top of a tree in center field and came down in the bleachers. In the seventh inning he connected with the ball again and this time he made a "duke" home run, scoring Gardner. The ball went through a hole beneath the left field fence, caused by the heavy rain of the night before. It was the only opening in the fence. The visitors staged a rally in the last inning and got a man to second base, but a star catch by Gardner off the center field fence prevented them from scoring. Shultz, more familiar known as "Sox" Selfbold, pitched great ball for the Camden team, allowing but seven scattered hits. The only two Lincoln batters getting more than one hit were Lloyd and Mason.
The inclement weather caused such a delay in starting the first game the other contest had to be cancelled.

Springfield broke even in a double-header with the Penn Red Caps at Recreation Park, Long Island City, Sunday afternoon, winning the second by a score of 3 to 2 after dropping the first 3 to 2.
Jack Vermilyes came out of his batting slump to win the second game for the Springies. Going into the eighth frame the score was tied at 1 all. Charley Miller, who had been pitching good ball, came through with an infield hit and then Vermilye leaned on one that got away from Wilson in centerfield and Miller came home with the winning run. Jack tried to go all of the way home on his hit but was caught between the plate and home. He scored when Saunders dropped the ball on the run-up.
Poor support cost Sandy Burk the first game. Springfield got off to a one run lead that looked as big as a house until the seventh frame. With two out and the bases full Wilson dropped a pop fly amongst Jacobson, Vermilye and Normar and two runs came in. Any one of the three Springfield men could have had the ball, but each thought someone else had it.

Cuban Stars Score Double Victory Over Hilldale
By taking the Hildale Club into camp in both ends of a doubleheader, Alex. Pompez's Cuban Stars wound up the first half of the league schedule at David's Stadium. The victories enabled the islanders to retain third place by a narrow margin over the hustling Harrisburg Giants. Alvarez hurled the Cubans to a win in the first game, 7 to 4, while the second contest was a kalsome affair for the visitors, who were blanked, 15 to 0. Red Ryan hurled a nice game in the first rift, but poor support helped the Stars in the first inning that practically clinched the game. Oscar came close to hanging up a no-hit, no-run game in the second contest that went six innings. George Carra two bingles were somewhat of the scratch variety.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York GLENN AND JENKINS NOW WITH 'AFRICANA' Lafayette Offers Drake and Walker Next Week Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty
Many Changes in "Africana"
Glenn and Jenkins, Snow Fisher and Others Added to Strengthen the Show
Down at Daly's Theatre Ethel Waters and a company of sixty opened to a splendid house Monday night a week ago, and while the audiences have been turning out to view the production, we note that intrusion has so far failed to respond in large numbers. And there's a big reason for this. Many are under the impression that what is being done at Daly's has been done at the Lafayette Theatre, but these same many would be very much surprised after witnessing what Earl Dancer is offering downtown. In the first place, we make bold to assert that we have seldom seen the kind of chorus work that is being offered at Daly's, and we want to take this medium of telling Louis Douglas that he certainly knows his business.
True, there were some things which some of us thought "masse" in the show, but it is also good to note that those very things were withdrawn the very next night and in this writing there have been many additions which cannot help enhance the value of the production.
Gilenn and Jenkins breezed in this Monday and took the house by storm, while Snow Fisher brought to that section of the "Big White Way" the kind of dancing white folk will always like—to say nothing of those of us of sundown hue. Louis Douglas is also doing some dancing that went over big. Being alive to really catering to the wants of the people and accepting what the critics have said, Mr. Dancer has gone right ahead and practically added a fortune in expense in trying to give not only broadway, but all of Greater New York and surrounding points, what he feels, is desired in a show of the kind at Daly's.
During the time we spent at the theatre on Monday night we had the pleasure of hearing Otto Kahn, looked upon as an authority, state that it was one of the greatest pieces of Negro artistry it has ever fell to his good fortune to witness.
Of course, when a man like Mr. Kahn makes such a statement, when the most learned must sit up and take notice, for he brings to his assertion an experience and personal contact which leaves no room for argument. Yes, he is the father of that clever musician, Nigel Kahn. All in all, we find Nigel Waters appearing in as fine a little piece of work as we have seen, and better than the many which made the race for Broadway some years ago.
Put for the weather we would mount the pedestal and predict a long stay at Daly's for "Africana," but when the thermometer insists upon hovering in the nineteen it is hard to imagine even blaze Broadway eschewing the watering places to stay on the one street which Broadwaynites hope will go with them to heaven. And at that splendid houses continue to greet the show. "Nuff sed."

RANG TANG—Miller and Lyles in a new musical revue in two acts. Book by Kaj Gaj, Lyrics by Jo Tront. Music by Ford Dahney. Dances by Margaret Davis. Production staged by F. E. Miller. Presented by Wiltner and Kavangat at Chinatown's Royale Theatre with a cast including these principals:
Miller and Lyles. Evelyn Lever, Lillian Westmoreland. Zaides Jackson. Ea Thompson, Daniel Haynes, Josephine Hall, Crawford Jackson, Hilbert Holland, George Battles, Byron Jones, May Barnes, Lavinia Mack.
Those ebony comics, Miller and Lyles, returned to these parts last Tuesday night in their new starring vehicle that is just about the most elaborately summed up of the new series. It is its name, and it was greeted joyously by a numerous first-night audiences at the Royale Theatre. It was the second successful premiere devoted to the black arts of Nero entertainment, and resulted most satisfactorily for all audiences. It was also consistently funny though, it must be added, they have had some brighter moments in the past. In "Rang Tang" there is a fragment of plot running along that is not always paid attention to, but it is there nevertheless. It concerns two young barbers Shaun Slave, who leave their native Jimmy for ancestral roots, the non-stop jungle results in some hilarious scenes amid effectively colorful tropical settings. Following sundry adventures with monkeys, diamond "planters" and a comedians return to Haskell in regal fashion for the inevitable share of the best things in the entire show.
In the large cast are many capable performers. Of course, dancing is their particular forte. Along these lines May Barnes, Lavinna Mack, Byron Mack, the program does not tell us what he expert. Either Miss Barnes or Miss Mack, the program does not tell us what he expert. a hit of satirical stepping. The chief feminine voices in the production, most of Evelyn Prer and Zaldee Jackson. They are entrusted with the principal roles of the show, "Come to Africa, Zulu Fifth Avenue," "Jungle Ross" who has a deep resonant reason in "The Bottom of the Cup" and "Earth" who has a deep resonant reason he had too little to do, we thought. His voice has something of the quality of that of Paul Hobbes. He is large, gayly costumed spectacle, is always interesting. When his singers let loose a synagogue dance, the plaintive spiritual, it is good. When its specialty dancers tap dances across the stage, and its attractive and well trained chorus prance about it, but the dancers are impersonating those happy vagrants. Sam and Steve, it is simply great. The show is a welcome addition to New York's summertime campaign in the theaters.
Drake and Walker at Lafayette Next Week
Next Monday Drake and Walker's longerhaled and long-awaited new show opens a week's engagement at the Latayette. The consensus of opinion in every city where this show has played to capacity audiences at $1.65 a seat is that it is the best colored musical show ever produced. Here is what one critic writes:
"The gaps are so sparkling you marvel at the cleverness of those who thought of them. Girls that are pleasing to look upon. Two comedy volcanoes, Henry Drake and Sambo Reid, are so clever that there isn't a dull moment while they are on the stage, especially is this so when they are performing as bellhops.
"Among the very talented dancers are Robert Wade, Clifton Drake, Jimmie Basket, Eddie Johnson and William Mitchell. They

keep the floor hot with shifting feet of lightning movement.
"No one should be puzzled that Drake and Walker's show gives a sparkle and dash, for they have an all-star cast. Ethel Walker, who has been acclaimed the Melba of jazzland, Baby Mack, the singing and dancing soubrette; Claude Collins, singing and leading man. Last but not least Sam Rabinson. A laugh—a scream!
"With the raise of the curtain one finds Drake directing his cyclonic jazz band of twelve pieces with Gus Akins, one of the best jazz trumpet players in our hemisphere, tooting away to the salvation of his soul."

THE "FROLICS" IS FINE REVUE
Company Is Happy to Be Home After Enduring Hardships in Flood Region
Back home after one of the most trying trips ever undertaken by a theatrical troupe, Johnny Dancy's company presented their musical revue, "Connie's Frolics," at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday with a delightful soap. There is comedy galore, some really fine dancing, some very tuneful melodies and a lot of pretty faces and pretier forms in this revue, which will be presented at the Lafayette all week.
The show starts off with a bang—in a prologue in which John Dancy, Emmett Anthony and Mantan Moreland take part. Emmett again demonstrated that he is one of the funniest comedians on the stage by his clever work in this and other numbers in the revue. Ruth Payne, the clever little soubrette, leads the chorus in several numbers, which were received with hearty applause. Alto Oates, one of the finest of "blues singers," sang "Red Lips" to the unbounded delight of the audience. George Stamper did a "drunk" which had the audience holding their sides. Mantan Moreland's cyclonic dancing was also greeted with enthusiastic applause. These are only a few of the "Highlights" of this splendid revue. The chorus is one of the finest seen on a local stage this season, and as is usual with road shows, special scenery and costumes were used for the presentation at the Lafayette.
The photoplay feature for the week is the film version of the stage play which made a hit in Paris, London and New York: "The Monkey Talks." Olive Borden and Raymond Hitchcock are the stars. For sheer drama, "The Monkey Talks" is one of the finest photodramas ever produced.

At 5:30 Fulton street, which they also entered, they got $200 in Liberty bonds, $52 in cash and a deed for a house. The boys told the police their method of procedure was to wear shadows and to creep on their hands and knees in the house they entered, so their shadows would not fall across the faces of the sleeping occupants and distrub them. They entered the houses by cutting a piece out of the screen covering an open window and climbed in.
The police claim that they are sure the boys are responsible for or to burglary in the neighbourhood in the past five months. The older boy was arraigned on June 13 in the Flatbush court, while the younger was taken to the children's Society, charged with previous delinquency.

Rockaway Ave. Boy Drowned
Brooklyn Youngster Dived to Rescue of Cousin but Went Down
Four Brooklyn and Long Island drownings were reported over the weekend, and a fifth, who is missing, is also believed to have been drowned.
Life guards at virtually all beaches near the city were kept busy from Saturday noon until late Sunday night watching over record throngs which had been driven to the seashore by the intense heat. Spectacular rescues marked the weekend, in which more than 100 persons were carried to safety by life guards. Rockaway Beach life guards alone had 40 rescues to their credit.
Lewis S. Smith, Jr., 17, of 751 Marcy avenue, was drowned Sunday afternoon in Hoppenhead Harbor off Piries Point while assisting in the rescue of his cousin, Miss Mabel Smith, 19, of Mount Vernon, N.Y.
The girl, stricken with stomach cramps while swimming about 50 feet from the boat in which Smith and a cousin, Dr. William Warrick, of Philadelphia, were rowing, shouted for help. Both occupants of the boat dived to her assistance. While Warrick assisted the girl to the shore, Smith, who was following, became exhausted and sank. Efforts to revive him with a pulmorator after his body was recovered by a diver were unavailing.

Morris Stromberg, 22, white, of 132 Belmont avenue, and George Goldberg, 19, also white, of 139 Belmont avenue, and his brother Louis were held in $2,500 bail each by Magistrate Rayfiel in the New Jersey avenue court on Monday, July 11, on charges of felonious assault, on complaint of Marion Davis, 28, of 132 Belmont avenue, who alleged that during an altercation with the three men Saturday afternoon, July 9, the Goldbergs punched him and Stromberg slashed him with a knife.

Those of the Blue Bird Tennis Club. who motored to Long Island were Mr. and Mrs. Mina. Miss Alma Baker and Messrs. Victor Archer and Charles Williams. While in Hempstead they visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Carman, also that of Counsellor Georgo H. Beaublan. Later on in the day they travelled to Freeport, L.

Wild Flower Picture Contest

All School Children in Brooklyn Under 17 Invited to Compete
All School Children in Brooklyn Under 17 Invited to Compete
All the public schools in Brooklyn have been notified of a wild flower picture contest in the interest of wild flower conservation that the Woman's Auxiliary of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden is sponsoring. According to Miss Ellen Eddy Shaw, curator of elementary instruction, every school child in Brooklyn under seventeen years of age who wishes to compete may do so.
Before actual arrangements for the competition were made, Miss Shaw said, the principals of Public Schools Nos. 185, 52 and 38 indorsed the idea, and District Supt. James J. Reynolds said: "I think your Wild Flower Competition is a splendid thing and I should consider it a privilege to co-operate with you. By all means go ahead. There is no reason why you can't start now. The trouble with us is that we are always putting off these good things for a more favorable time, and there is no more favorable time than now."
Mrs. Clarence R. Hyde, a member of the Woman's Alkylary and vice-chairman for Brooklyn of the Conservation Committee of the Garden Club of America, perfected arrangements for the competition with Miss Sinaw and Dr. Arthur H. Graves, curator of Pub-

Public Instruction. Mrs. Hyde is chairman of the Committee on Arrangements.
First prizes, volumes from the "Nature Library," will be given for the largest collection of photographs of growing plants. In Class Two first prizes of cameras will be given for the largest collection of drawings of growing plants made by a child, for the best set of ten drawings of growing plants and for the best shingle drawing of a growing plant. A Class Three first prize, an outdoor painting outfit, will be given for the best painting of a growing plant. Second prizes in every one of the six contests will be Brooklyn Botanic Garden gold medals.
Photographs must be mounted in a blank book, with the name of flower, locality where collected and date, Miss Shaw said. The exhibits must be sent to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden by November 15. Awards will be made. Miss Shaw added, by appointed judges during the December Christmas exhibit of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The photographs, drawings and paintings will be on exhibition at that time.
In explaining the purpose of the competition, Miss Shaw said: "I believe we have to make a start and I think that if we are going to conserve our native wild flowers the only campaign worth while is with the children. In order to get the idea before the children forcibly and to interest them enough to do anything we have to bring it to them in the form of a contest. In this way the child is brought into actual contact with these flowers. Every one knows that the things we know are the things we are interested in and will protect. To my mind a campaign with adults is of little value. Our hope lies with the child. If this generation is trained properly we won't need any such contest with our children's children."
Woman Held Without Bail for Grand Jury Hearing
Ada Hood, 25, of 31 Debevoles street, was held without ball in the Coney Island Court last week by Magistrate Hirschfield for the Grand Jury after she had waived examination to the charge of grand larceny.

According to Detective John Harrington, white, the defendant was wearing one of the rings when she was arrested.
Smith Sent to Raymond Street Will Come Up for Sentence for Attempted Holdup on Jefferson Avenue

Benjamin Klein, white, a taxi driver, was the victim of Smith's attempted hold-up. Early on the morning of May 29, last at Fulton and Cumberland streets, Smith engaged Klein to drive him to 152 Jefferson avenue. Arriving there Smith requested him to wait while he went into the house to get the money for the ride. He called to Klein to come and get his money.

Then Smith is alleged to have pointed a revolver at Klein and demanded his money. Klein closed in on Smith. During the tussle Klein succeeded in getting the door open and ran out. Some distance from the door the chauffer waited and, when Smith emerged, followed him until he came up with a policeman and Smith was arrested.

Another Brooklyn Woman Fell or Was Thrown Out of Her Window
City of Homes and Churches Apparently Suffering With Epidemic of Women Being Dashed on Sidewalks Without Good Reason
Another case where a woman was either thrown out or had fallen from a window came to the attention of the police last week when Mrs. Alice Bearan, 27 years old, was found on the sidewalk in front of her home, 254 Nassau street, early Tuesday morning, July 12. Mrs. Bearan's husband, an old-time jockey, is blind, and the police, after a thorough investigation, have placed no suspicion upon him. The tenants in the house could throw no light on the case. Mr. Bearan was asleep at the time his wife fell out of the window, it is reported.
It was rumored that the woman had been thrown out of the window, but the police could find no one that could give any information relative to this.
He'll Send 'Em to the Jail House
He'll Send 'Em to the Jail House
So Says Hempstead, L. I. Judge in Sentencing Man for Assault
As an example of what will happen to others if the epidemic of cuttings, fights and other disorderly doings continue among Hempstead's colored population, Justice Walter R. Jones last week sentenced John. Ursury of 57. South Franklin street to 30 days in jail, following Ursury's conviction upon an objection to assault, three derog.
"There has been too much of this slashing and slamming in the colored section of the village" declared the judge, pronouncing sentence, "I am going to do everything in my power to stop it right now. The village authorities have delegated me the duty of seeing that people behave themselves, and I'm going to hand out severe punishment to men who fight on the streets. If it continues someone may be killed and such happenings give a town a bad name. "I am going to begin on you," the judge told Uury. "I sentence you to serve 30 days in the county jail and that is a mild sentence compared with what you ought to get. If you come before me again you'll go to the penitentiary for six months. This can be a warning to persons who create disturbances in the streets that such conduct will not be tolerated."
Usury was arrested upon a complaint signed by Mrs. Henry Harrison, 28 Maple avenue, his sister in-law, who alleged he hit her with a fence picket in the street in front of her house. She was in court with her face swollen and unable to raise her right arm to take the court oath when she went to the witness stand. Charles Hayes corroborator the story of Usury was the fence picket claimed he held the fence picket to protect himself from an attack by Mrs. Harrison and two others.
A plea for lenency made by Usury's attorney drew from the judge his declaration that stiff jail sentences will be handed out from now on. During the past month the Hempstead authorities have had an unusual amount of trouble with our people. One night they arrested more than forty for singing an alleged disorderly party. Usury was before the judge three weeks ago with three other men on disorderly conduct charges. He is a son of the Rev. S. M. B. Usury pastor of a church in Hempstead.

Fishermen of Galilee Close Successful Annual Conclave at Local Church
The first annual session of the Empire State Grand Lodge No. 1 of the Grand United Order of Fishermen of Gallilee, Eastern and Western Hemispheres, came to a successful close on Monday evening, July 11, at Antioch Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Moses Prayer is pastor. The grand lodge met for one day. There were three sessions that day. Prior to the grand lodge session the grand lodge sermon was delivered Sunday evening, July 10, by Dr. Prayer.
Mrs. Eliza Munford, chairman of the sermon committee, introduced Mrs. J. Johnson, who acted as mistress of ceremonies, following the invocation by the grand chaplain, John Savage. The state grand secretary, Alberta Thomas, gave a synopsis of the order. This showed that the order has made much progress along all lines during the last year.
Grand Master Eugene R. Campbell delivered a very interesting address, in which he outlined the work and principles of the order, Mrs. Chara Bannister sang several beautiful solos.
Dr. Pasley in his sermon gave some very practical advice to the members of the lodge. He urged them to try to do more than just "take care of the sick and bury the dead."
The officers of the sermon committee were: Eliza Muumford, chairman; Blanche Bailley, vice-chairman; John H. Hill, secretary; Alice Bonner, treasurer, and Emma White, chaplain. The seating arrangements of the church were under the directions of State Grand Marshal Clarence Martin, who was assisted by N. G. Marshal Oscar Bonner.
The ushers were Agnes Payne, Blanche Bailley, Minnie Brown and Anna Towler.
The grand lodge session was called to order at 9 a.m. by Grand Master Cambler. Following the appointment of the various committees the seventh or sublime degree was conferred upon a large number of candidates. After this the lodge proceeded with the regular order of business.

The recent harmonious get-together conclave of the Negro Protective Republican Organization (Men's Division) of the Fourth Assembly District, Queens County, has the largest number of election districts of any Assembly District in New York State when the new apportionment becomes effective, has apparently acted as a "Clarion Call to Arms" throughout the entire county, and into New York and Suffolk County. Since the election on July 6, W. L. Girardeau, executive member of the organization, reports the enrolling of 100 additional, names, and because of that the next meeting, scheduled for Aug. 3 at the Fourth Assembly District Headquarters, South Washington has been transferred to Polish Hall, Sutphin boulevard, near Pearl Street,
From Bayside, Flushing, Coronel Elmhurst and other Queens County centers where there is an appreciable number of colored people, who in the past have, been just plain voters under some supposedly political/organization which functions, only on election day, and the day following drift back to where they, were the day before election, come words of encouragement, from well known persons, with the added information that they, are perfecting. A temptation is an organic tempt to whip both the white and negro Tammany Hall leaderships in Queens, which one well known man characterized as a "disgrace to New York's fastest-growing borough."
Women's Voters Co-operative.
Probably the most essential feature that is destined to put the Jamaica organization on a sound basis, and those that will be formed between now, and campaign time, is the fact that the colored women of the county are backing their men, follow them, and present of usefulness their spare time ringing door bells to acquaint prospective voters with what it's all about. Perhaps quite shocking in some cases, but not to stunch G. O. Pites, was this information when it was carelessly passed along the rialto.
Officers of the new organization are as follows: W. L. Gjardean, president; J. Goodwin, first vice-president; C. Burris, second vice-president; L. Armold, third vice-president; W. L. Financial secretary; O. Holly, recording secretary; W. Dilworth, corresponding secretary; H. Richardson, sergeant-at-arms; J. Travls, chaplain.
Board of Directors: M. Bass combe, chairman; H. Hunt, S. Tettle, J. Travis, H. Holmes, J. Hamilton, Baskerville. Senate Committee: Publicity Committee: Joseph N. Hawkins and William White.

THE 'BROWN PANTHER' GOES
But They Won't Have to Stage Any Benefits for Him
Ebbet's Field, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Another great fighter passed on to the pugilistic graveyard when Harry Willis, known to the cauliflower industry as the "Brown Panther," was fattened for 10 seconds by Paulino Uzcudun, the gold-toothed Tiger of the Pyrenees, at Ebbet's Field last Wednesday night before 20,000 fans, 15,000 of whom paid some $40,000 or more dollars to witness the contest.
It was a pittiful sight to see the big fellow stretched out on the canvas, with the woodchopper in a neutral corner prepared to finish the job if he arose. Harry, or rather the shell of the once great fighter, performed the act for the first time since 1916, when OI Sam Langfordocked to sleep in the cage around the round of a till scheduled for twenty. Two years prior the same Sam had stopped flarry in the fourteenth.
It was the old story—they never come back—and I'm wondering if the Ebbets Field clash is a tip-off of the finish of another great fighter that Harry spent the best six years of his career chasing about the country.
Our suspicion about Dempsey comes from the fact that when we saw the BIG PANTHER crawl through the ropes last Wednesday night he looked every bit the trained athlete, the one we knew when he crawled through the ropes to kayo Fred Fulton at the Newark Armory on July 1 back in 1920, and likewise the one we know that pounded Luis Angel Firpo. "The wild bull of the pam pas," into submission at Boyles Thirty Acres on an evening in September 1924, time, the years spent cambling for a chance at Dempsey, persecution by referees and other boxing officials weighed heavily on Harry's mind and had taken their toll.
Even though his lithe, brown physique shown on the surface as clear as the Evening Star would shine on a clear moonlight night, the frame was but a mere shell. If it had been Harry Wills there would have been a fight, and a darn quick one. The old noodle was willing, but his shaky limbs wouldn't let him, and the TNE that he packed in his palmy days had left him. There were hardly a dozen visible blows struck by Paulino or Harry (the former dubbed as the greatest of all times) during the very nearly four sessions of action. The affair was little less than an ordinary gymnastium exhibition and a very poor one at that, the result of which writes FNIS to the boxing career of Harry Wills.
However, there is some convolution for Harry and his host of friends and admirers. They'll never give any benefits for him because of financial embarrassment. Like Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, the big fellow has saved the largest portion of his earnings, which is safely invested in bonds and real estate. The "Brown Panther" may not have been the greatest fighter producer of modern warfare, but one thing is certain, that is that he is a man in every sense of the word, morally and otherwise, and a splendid example for some of our present-day pugilistic luminaries to pattern after. If they do there is little likelihood of them going wrong.

Paris Guide Sticks by Dr. Wilberforce Williams'
Party
When Dr. Wilberforce Williams and his party of doctors entered the dining room of Hotel Degerman at Reims, France, fifteen strong, a party of white American tourists, numbering thirty, objected to their presence.
The management attempted to get the guide, Delhaye, to take the Negro doctors to another hotel across the way, but he refused, and finally the white Americans rose in a body and left the dining room. This section of France, which is in the neighborhood of Chateau Thierry, is thick with white Americans.
The guide, Deianae, who is white, speaks in highest terms of the Negro doctors. He got a $50 tip from them. When asked by a white American why he had not worked for white people instead of Negroes, he replied: "What, leave people who give me a hundred fran tip for those who give me ten?" Needless to say, such an incident would not have occurred if the persons in the dining room were Europeans.
Drowning Record for 1926 Numbers 466
More persons were drowned in New York City in 1926 than in any year since 1917 and, of the 466 persons who met accidental deaths in the water last year, only 21 were women or girls. This announcement was made by G. J. Drolet, statistician of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, following a study of the accident reports of the Bureau of Records of the Department of Health.
In giving out the figures, attention was called to the publication a few days ago of a report of one of the large life insurance companies, showing that accidental drownings among its industrial policy holders had been one-fourth more numerous from January 1 to June 18 this year than deaths from the same cause for the same period of 1926. The great excess in the number of drownings of men over those of women is believed to be accounted for, in large part, by three things. Thousands of men and boys swim about the docks and piers in the heated season, white few, if any, women do. Men and boys are more venturesome in the water than women and girls. And, finally, men and boys are more inclined to display their swimming prowess and so get into trouble oftener at the bathing beaches.
Commission to Aid in Flood Reconstruction
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18-By The Associated Negro Press—Secretary Herbert Hoover meeting with members of the Colored Advisory Commission on the Mississippi Flood Disaster, at the Red Cross building here, last Friday, expressed the appreciation which he and officials of the Red Cross felt for "the fine service which the advisory commission has performed." A small group of the original commission was asked by Mr. Hoover to serve as an advisory commission on reconstruction, to see through to completion the mountainous task of rehabilitation which faces the Red Cross, to in-

To Put on at Least 5 Pounds of Solid Flesh in 30 Days
Countless thousands of underweight men and women have got rid of that scrawny face and figure by a simple easy treatment that is sure and inexpensive. It's really marvelous how quickly those who try it take on flesh where flesh is most needed. Hollows in neck and chest fill out and narrow sunken chested men begin to take on a decided manliness in just a few weeks. The one great scientific weight producer that people who need more flesh can depend upon is McCoy's Tablets and besides helping you to develop an attractive figure these sugar coated tablets bring to all that take them more energy, strength and vigor — they have proven a superb tonic.
McCoy takes all the risk—Read this ironclad guarantee.

Dinner Plate Used in Domestic Warfare
According to William Brown, 37, 73 West Twenty-first street, Bayoune, he has been living with Mrs. Franks Townes, 26, at the foregoing address as man and wife despite the fact that they are not married, but Mrs. Townes Thursday afternoon exercised her wifely prerogative, despite the fact that she is living with Brown without benefit of clergy, by smashing a plate over his head. Brown's cries attracted Patrolman George Rosenthal to the scene. The officer saw Brown lying on the floor with blood spurring from a deep wound on the side of the head and he noticed that his right ear was badly lacerated. Brown was removed to the Bayoune Hospital in the police ambulance and there Dr. Farrow took enlisted in the injured member.
Mrs. Townes was placed under arrest on the charge of atrocious assault, and battery, while Brown held on. The officer's action was taken against Brown when he showed an inclination to withdraw the complaint against his assault and in order to turn his appearance in the Recorder's Court today.

New England Pythians Hold Annual Session
LYNN, Mass., July 18.—The forty-first annual session of the New England District Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe, Eastern and Western Hematites, convened here in Fyrishan Castle Sunday evening.
More than 500 delegates and Grand Lodge representatives were present. Supreme Chancellor W. Ashleigh Hawkins of Baltimore was the main speaker at the opening session.
"If secret orders are to survive in the future," he said, "they must do more than display gold braided uniforms and pay sick and death claims. They must make part in everything that tends to promote the future of humanity. High salaried officials should be taboo and the rank and file should receive all benefits," he said.
Other speakers were Dr. Alice McKane, supreme worthy counsel, Court of Calanthe; Benjamin B. Creasy of Providence, grand chancellor; Mrs. Arabella Martin of Springfield, grand worthy counsel, and the Rev. Paul Moore, grand prelate.
The delegates were welcomed to the city in an address by Mayor Ralph Bauer, Monday morning. A street parade was held in the afternoon and the grand reception in the evening.

N. J. REPUBLICANS OUTLINE PLATFORM
Assemblyman J. Leroy Baxter of the New Jersey State Legislature has sent the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a copy of the 1927 Tentative New Jersey Republican Party Platform, as prepared by the Resolutions Committee, which condemns mob violence, urges passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill, and opposes "segregation in any institutions supported by public funds of persons on the basis of race, creed or color." Particular significance is attached to the last named, in view of the recent successful effort by the N. A. A. C.P. to defend attempts to bar Negro children from schools at Toms River.

and anxious to come to New York for the big convention. James T. Carter, grand treasurer, of Richmond, Va., takes exception that he was not invited to speak at the recent state convention of the New Jersey State Association held at Orange. Mr. Carter was not called on simply because the meeting had to end abruptly in order to be able to report to the time made with the police department of Orange. He is borne out in his contention by Ira A. Hall, who was the head of the association at that time and the presiding officer at the convention circumstances was Mr. Carter slighted and that the grand treasurer has the love and respect of all Elks in the State of New Jersey.

St. Mark's M. E. Church
The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, who was the speaker at the morning services, preached from Acts, 28:3. The sermon was timely and applicable when such torrid weather prevails. His subject was "Vacation Vipers." The theme of objective of the pastor was to inform the crowd of the fact that, as the heat grew the tiger out of Paul's bundle of fagots, so does the present torrid weather draw the undesirable temperaments and imperfections out of us. Therefore, we can't afford to relax spiritually nor suspend church worship during the summer. Five persons joined the church at 7:45 m. p. from Joan at 7:45 m. p. from Richard Bolden preached to a fair-sized audience. The pastor delivered another sermon at 7:45 m. p. from Exodus, 32:26.
On Saturday afternoon the pastor, chairmen and members of all auxiliaries went on an outing to San Cortlandt Park, where they enjoyed time partaking of lunches in games and sports until the storm caused them to hasten home.

Just like Adam and Eve were punished for eating forbidden fruit, so do a vast number of men and women, both young and old, suffer today because they lack strength. Dissipation has weakened many so they can no longer withstand the slightest exertion—others were born weak and have never known how to build their bodies so they could take advantage of the many pleasures they seek. There is no excuse for anyone crying for health, and strength—everyone can enjoy life—

In Memoriam
CLAYTON—In loving memory of our husband and our son, John Solomon Clayton, who departed this life July 11, 1926. You passed from us, loved one, as in a dream. Our very hearts were rent and torn, it seemed, but a more consoling Friend from the heavenly throne was added him to share in His love alone.
Wife and mother,
Cecelia Clayton,
Sophia Clayton.
FRACTION—In sad and loving memory of my mother, Mrs. Caroline Fraction, who departed this life July 15, 1923.
You are not forgotten, mother, darling.
Nor shall you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
I shall remember thee.
McCormACK—in memory of our beloved son, Launceol Fitz Maurice, who left us on July 12, 1920.
Seven years ago he left us, Launceol, our only boy.
Yes, 'twas sad, who'er could cheer us.
For he was pride and joy.
But God knew best.
Mother and Father.
MURDOCK—In loving, constant
and devoted memory of my all,
my dear wife, Sarah F. Murdocka
who departed this life July 16,
1926.
One year has passed since she
was taken from me.
Days of sadness stay with me.
So, as long as life and memory last.
She will be my constant thought.
WILLIE L. A. MURDOCK.
SHUFORD—In loving memory of our son, William H. Shuford Jr. who departed this life July 23, 1925.
SMITH—In sad but loving remembrance of Harry William Smith, who departed this life July 17, 1926.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled:
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given.
And though the body slumbers
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Wife and children, Mrs. Ethel May Smith.
WHITFIELD—In sad but loving remembrance of my dead mother, Ada Whitfield, who departed this life July 21, 1926.
In my heart your memory linger;
Sleep sweetly, mother, kind and true.
There is not a day that passes
That I do not think of you.
Every day brings its memories.
Every memory brings a tear.
Deep in my heart I cherish
Thoughts of you I loved so well.
Thought my heart is sad and
lonely.
And the pacing is hard to bear.
For I miss you, my dear mother
Every day and everywhere.

"Negro Population Tends Towards Gradual Decline"
MY LAST release was written from Denver. I am now writing from Seattle. I am concerned now with the Negro contingent in the intermountain region. During the past week I have traversed the Rocky Mountains and it has been my good fortune to look upon the condition of the brother in black in practically every city in the section under analysis. The Negroes in the mountains differ from those on the plains mainly in that they are more strictly isolated and defined. In the language of Julius Caesar, they are hemmed in on all sides by the nature of the place. Denver, Colorado Springs, Pocotella, Boise City, Butte, Billings, Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, Spokane, Tuscon, Phoenix, New Mexico and Columbus, all tell the same tale. From one we may learn all
New Books Scheduled for Early Publication
F FROM the early announcements of publishers there are gathered a number of distinguished volumes of verse, fiction, biography, drama and art by and about Ne-
groes which will be published within the next few months. On July 29 Harper and Brothers, New York, will publish the second volume of verse by Countee Cullen, whose first book, "Color," has long been a best seller. Mr. Cullen's new book will bear the title "Copper Sun," which is taken from his own poem, "Heritage." He will also appear again on the Harper list on October 6, when his anthology of verse by Negro poets, "Caroling Dusk," will be published.
Denver is the largest of the intermountain cities, so far as the Negro group is concerned. Located midway between the oceans, this aliquilent city attracts a large number of transient Negroes, who find here a pleasant and invigorating summer resort. The city makes an inviting bid for the national organizations. The N. A. A. C. P. holds its last session in Denver; the National Baptist Convention is now planning its up-

On July 29 Harper and Ilish the second volume of vew first book, "Color," has long len's new book will bear the taken from his own poem. Pear again on the Harper anthology of verse by Negro be published.
A third volume bearing Mr. Cullen's name and the Harper imprint will appear in December. This will be a de luxe edition of Mr. Cullen's well-known "Ballad of a Brown Girl." Harper will publish simultaneously with the trade edition of "Copper Sun" a de luxe, autographed edition of one hundred copies of this new book of verse.
In October the same firm will publish a first novel by Claude McKay, another distinguished Negro poet, who has been living abroad for a number of years. Mr. McKay's novel will be called "Home to harlem," and is receiving much favorable advance comment as to its excellence. Mr. McKay is widely known for his volume of verse published in 1922. "Harlem Shadows," Perhaps his best known poem is his widely quoted "If We Must Die."
On August 19 Alfred A. Kropt will republish in that firm's famous Blue Jade Library, James Weldon Johnson's "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man." First published anonymously in 1812 by a Boston firm which went out of business during the war, this novel by Mr. Johnson has long been out of print and eagerly sought after by collectors.
Also in September a book of particular interest and importance to colored readers will be brought out by the Viking Press. This is "Portraits in Color" by Mary White Ovington. Miss Ovington's book is made up of biographical and critical essays on the lives and accomplishments of twenty colored men and women.
The list includes Robert Russa Moton, George W. Carver, Seiplo A. Joncs, Ernest E. Just, W. E. B. D. Bois, James Welden Johnson, Louis T. Wright, Roland Hayes, Paul Robeson, Walter White, Lucy Laney, Muggle L. Walker, Langston Hughes and several others as well known. This volume is certain to be widely read and discussed. Drama will be adequately represented by "Plays of Negro Life," edited by Montgomery Gregory and Alain Locke, which Harper and Brothers will publish during the fall season. Practically every play about Negroes by white and colored authors will be included. The volume will contain between twenty-five and thirty plays, about one-third of them written by colored playwrights.
Knopf will publish on October 21 a book of interest made up of the Negro drawings of Miguel Covarrubias, the talented Mexican artist whose work has appeared mostly in Vanity Fair. Knopf publishes on October 8 a stuffed "Peacocks" by Emily

Miss Clark is a member of one of the oldest families in Virginia and was editor of the Reviewer. She is one of the growing number of white people in and from the South who are deeply interested in the Negro and particularly his artistic development. This same firm will publish neat April a first novel of great beauty and distinction. The writer is Mrs. Nella Larsen images of New York and her novel will bear the title of "Quick-sand."
There are probably other books by Negro authors and about Negro life not yet announced but the list given is an imposing one. These books along with others recently published like James Weldon Johnson's notable "God's Trombones." E. C. L. Adams" "Congaree Sketches" and similar books of note are significant and encouraging signs of progress.
Rudoph Fisher, considered by many as the best writer of short stories of Negro life, is at work on a novel: Langston Hughes is spending the summer in Memphis, New Orleans and other Southern cities gathering material for his next book; Walter White salts with Mrs. White and their two children for France, where he will spend a year writing two books; and others as yet unknown are writing. The outlook is distinctly hopeful for a continuation of excellent writing by Negroes.

tighter and tighter to the detriment and disadvantage to the colored workmen. I met with this universal plaint that Negroes everywhere were being crowded out of the occupations which were formerly theirs.
"Unification of Divergent Groups Is Sorely Needed"
HARLEM is to be the meeting site of the fourth Pan-African Congress, according to Bulletin No. 2, compiled by the Publicity Committee. Circle for Peace and Foreign Relations. That Harlem is the sort of soil upon which might grow the kinds of seeds that will fall from the planting hand of such deliberations, none will deny; that no Negro anywhere on the globe has had Africa and things African brought so graphically before his eyes as has the Harlem Negro are so palpably true that it might appear to some to be a mere sophistry.
Marcus Garvey, now in the Atlanta prison, but before his downfall the most spectacular figure in the Negro world, made his way to fame by repeating loudly the name of Africa.
Harlem and the Harlem Negro were the audiences which he enraptured by his matchless phrasing of the magic word Africa. In this community of black folk he erected in the fragment of his wild and primitive imagination all sorts of illus betesting the continent of Africa and its peoples; he it was who postulated and preached the false doctrine that Africa is the home of black folk, and theirs only.
Yet it must be said of him and his movement that, whatever favorable mental attitude in which the Negro of Harlem, of the world, might be to receive the discussions and deliberations of a Pan-African congress, is directly or indirectly the result of the Marcus Garvey movement.
Who in Harlem today might soon forget that memorable demonstration of men and women of African parentage which swung into the line of marsh on August 1, 1920? Or who in the black world can ever forget that night on the platform of Madison Square Garden, on the same date, when standing at the peak of his popularity, Garvey uttered the challenge: "Africa is the home of black folk; and they shall inherit it, if by the shedding of blood";
His really conventions at Liberty Hall served to rivet home the ideas of a unified Africa in the minds of the common manas everywhere; but to the Harlem Negro they served to place in the possession of his mind and his thinking the simple facts of the bill of particulars which black folk all over the world had formulated as their case against the white man's imperialism. And so it will be easy for the coming congress, which shall convene

In Salt Lake City working opportunities are reserved for Mormons. Negro, waiters are still employed at the great Mormon hotel but, aside from this, the Negro male hardy finds anything to do. The women have a better chance in domestic and household industries. Porters, janitors and odds-and-ends jobsbors constitute the chief wage-earning opportunities of the Afro-American in this whole region. The Negro population in these cities is small and tends towards a gradual decline. Aside from Denver, with 5,000 Negroes, the other cities range from 900 down to 100, and still further to a mere handful.
In an article I contributed to Forum Magazine some twenty years ago on "The Growth and Distribution of the Negro Population." I laid down the general proposition that, wherever the Negro population was thin, it tended to grow thinner; and where it was dense, it tended to become denser, and that it would ultimately settle in black belts and groups in the South and in black wards in the large cities. The movements of the last two decades have greatly justified this forecast.
There are no Negroes on the farm in this hard, dry, mountainous country. Several farming colonies have been inaugurated, but, so far as I can learn, they have all come to grief. The failure has been due either to a lack of capital to bridge over the temporary exactions of redeeming

here from August 21 to 24, to grip the imagination of the Harlem Negro and receive his cooperation.
It is remarkable that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, speaking before the preliminary conference of the coming Pan-African Congress, on the occasion of an informal supper rendered at the dining-room of the Y. W. C. A., on July 5, said:
"One of the main problems

which had confronted the previous efforts to convene a Pan-African congress was that of transportation for the delegates. England had shown her open hostility to facilitating the passage of them; France, Spain, Belgium and Germany, less openly hostile, were equally opposed, and, consequently, we found it necessary to convene as delegates those persons of African parentage who were on the spot."
This brings us to a consideration of one of the great elements of truth contained in the thesis of Marcus Garvey, substantiating his repeated demand that the race control some means of maritime transportation. This statement by Dr. DuBois was a reminder to those whose former limited vision had caused them to deride this proposition of Garvey's, and should convince them that Garvey was by no means an idle dreamer.
The real basis of the need for a convention of Negro folk from all parts of the world is forced into easy focus by the almost compelling confusion in which the race finds itself even in regard to such an elementary necessity as an understanding of the future needs of the race. And the most outstanding obstacle against this understanding is to be found in the total disinterest which is constantly demonstrated by one group of Negroes in the welfare of other groups of Negroes.
If one were to inquire of the average man of college training as to the dominant and primary disadvantages from which X. Y or Z group of Negroes suffered, his replies would prove in most cases to be so vague as not to constitute any definite knowledge of the facts of such disadvantages. And if this were all, the case would not be so hopelessly pathetic, but the average Negro appears to be quite proud of such display of ignorance of the cle
the parched desert or to lack of the requisite of energy, pluck and perseverance.
Does the Negro race possess the initiative, the determination, the endurance and sustained endeavor such as the white race has exhibited in winning the West? Or must he forever dwell where the white race has pitched his tents as a hewer of wood and a drawer of water? A race that cannot stand in the sun must abide in the shade; a people who abide in the shade will become sickly and pung. The race needs the hardship to battle with primary conditions as the whites have done on the American Continent, and especially in the great Rocky Mountain empire.
Throughout all of these States Negro children attend the common schools on equal terms with the rest. Mixed schools do not exist anywhere, for you can have mixed schools only where there is mixed public mind. Where the public mind is white, the schools will be white, albeit a few Negro children will be permitted to attend. Arizona is the only exception in the mountain States where there is scholastic separation of the race. This is due to the fact that the arid State wishes to imitate the South and because the handful of Negroes desire it. In Colorado, especially in Denver, recent attempt has been made to separate educational provision for the two races. But the taxpayers stubbornly rebelled. When they found out that
mentary facts affecting his people.
it would appear, then, that the real task of those who would engineer the coming congress is that of education, tending toward a definite psychological unification of the divergent groups of Negroes. Yes, with emphasis on even an elementary understanding of the conditions obtaining universally among the scattered millions of his race. The West African must be brought to understand the common situations affecting the slaves in Portuguese East Africa; the French Negro in Northern and Eastern African should be made cognizant of the labor conditions affecting the Negroes of South and Southwest Africa; the West Indian Negro must be made to sympathize with the aims and ideals of the United States Negro and, being closest to him, he should be brought to a positive enlistment as a soldier in fighting racial inequalities as they affect the Negro in the United States.
The aims of the West Indian Negro for self-government, education and federation must be the concern of the United States Negro—not as an abstract academic fact, but as a real deep, honest-to-goodness situation in which he is vitally interested. It was in this that Garvey failed; it is in this that any Negro leade or will fail. If he does not grasp the essential need of placing the greatest amount of stress upon this preliminary step toward racial understanding. It is the primary step and accomplishment which must precede racial unification. This, then, must be the first concern of those who would bring to Harlem the fourth Pan-African Congress.
No one can expect the leaders of this congress to succeed in this task at the coming session: no one, unless he be totally ignorant of the immensity of the task, may look forward to this racial unity at the close of the same meeting; but the efficiency and capacity of the leaders for the task of universal racial understanding may justly be estimated by the attitude and vision demonstrated at this session.
The ordinary political intrigues of the race in deliberations ever so simple would lead the cynic to declare that this or any other congress would be of no avail. But this congress shall be the test of the political, hence the unification intents of those who have undertaken the responsibility for the next congress. No elements in the collective racial thinking of the group should be overlooked; no doctrine held by any man of thought and racial honesty should serve as a har to his invitation and participation in the coming congress.
Previous antipathies should be suspended for the moment and the object of those who are responsible for the holding of the congress should be encouraged and assisted. Men and women of every cline and nativity should enter wholeheartedly into the spirit of the occasion and their honest co-operation should be volunteered to the great cause.
there were only 800 Negro pupils in the Denver schools, against 40,000 whites, they could not be invigued into the folly of operating a dual system at such needless expense. The proposition fell under the weight of its own absurdity. This is not a matter of sentiment on the part of the white voter, but of the sane, economic common-sense.
Although the Negroes attend the common school, they derive therefrom nothing but instruction. They form no part in the management and control. Relativity of numbers and the exactions of race prejudice jointly lead to this exclusion. I am creditably informed that there is not a single Negro teacher in the intermountain States, except in purely Negro settlements, like Deerfield, Colo., and in Arizona, where the schools are separate. It is hard to trace in this region any connection between so-called mixed schools and the lessening of the exactions of race prejudice. Those who advocate mixed schools as a solution of the race problem will find that the experience of this section gives their philosophy a serious loot.
No matter how few Negroes one finds in a given city, they form a separate social entity all but as complete as one sees in the South. It is not infrequently that one finds two or more Negro churches in communities where there is only a handful of the race. These churches are mainly social centers, where the communal life of the isolated
"Should at Least Decide Future Needs of Race"
The first steps in the Pan-African movement were taken by Sylvester Williams in London, England. In 1900, and was attended by men from all parts of the world. The Rev. Alexander Walters and other United States Negroes attended, so did many men of standing from the West Indies and even from the Republic of Hayti.
At that time the awakening race had just entered into the work of the morning of racial life; the notions of the interiority of the race, as held by white people, were far more disagreeable then than now; the pride of achievement of the race was more filmy, more forced than real; but today nearly a score of years have passed and the pride and industry of the race have multiplied by many quantities.
Harriy and Liberia were then the proudest boast of the race; today the United States Negro and his actual achievements are greater boasts. Then, the imperialism of the white race was at its peak; today it is at its declining point. Then the blacks of the new world despised the blacks of the Dark Continent; today they respect and revere him. Then there was no Harlem and DuBois was struggling for the recognition which he deserves as the leader of black folk; today he has achieved the undisputed leadership of black folk wherever they may be.

I find that the A. M. E. Church is by all odds the dominant denomination throughout the West. The Baptists, who are not sufficiently numerous and effective, form no serious rivalry in the mountain region. There are only two Baptist churches in Montana and the same number in Idaho. The wet denomination grows up as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground. Perhaps there is not enough water for its aqueous needs.
The A. M. E. ministers are, almost without exception, young men of intelligence, energy and resource. One hardly knows whether to attribute this to the wisdom of the presiding bishops or to the fact that, unless the minister is alert and wide-awake, he cannot maintain himself in this exacting environment.

GABRIEL DE LA CONCEPCION VALDES, one of Cuba's beloved master poets (best known by his pseudonym Placido), was born in Havana, Cuba, March 18, 1809. He was the son of a Spanish dancing girl and mulatto hairdresser. Placido, following the condition of his mother, was free, and at a very early age was compelled to earn his living. For a short time he learned the trade of making tortoise-shell combs. Although he was a mulatto of little training, yet he possessed true patriotic instinct. Some one of his friends taught him to read and lent him several books. Having a volume of Martinez de la Rosa's poems, he was positive that he could compose good verses. A druggist, Francisco Placido Puentes, generously supplied him with writing materials and an opportunity to write in his store. In return he selected "Placido" as a pen name. Some say, however, that the name was derived from Madame de Genlis' novel "Placido" as a pen name.
Together with ten other Cubans Placido was implicated in the revolution of 1844. Evidence was prejudicial against him, for he was denounced as the author of several strong patriotic poems that were circulated from one end of the island to the other in manuscript form. He stoutly defended his innocence in ever attempting to lead or encourage a revolution against the government, but his abnegations were futile and he was condemned to die. When, in the course of time, the sentence of death was announced to him he replied: "I shall die singing like the Cuban nightingale." He thought death to be a sacrosanct condition, and, when on the way to the place of his execution, he died reciting verses of his own composition.
"Despedida a Mi Madre" is his best and most popular sonnet. In it he hides his beloved-mother farewell and asks her not to grieve, for his lyre gives utterance to her memory for the last time. To console her, he declared that he would die happy while the mantle of religion of God's holiness, covered him . . . I give here the poem as translated by James Weldon Johnson: If the unfortunate fate engulfed me.
The ending of my history of grief.
The closing of my span of years so brief.
Mother, should wake a single pang in thee.
Weep not. No saddening thought to me devote:
I calmly go to a death that is glory-filled.
My lyre before it forever stilled
Breathes out to thee its last and
dying note.
A note scarce more than a bur-
den-causing sigh.
Tender and sacred, innocent,
sincore
sincere—
Spontaneous and instinctive as
the cry
I gave it birth—and now the
hour is here—
dour is here—
Ch. God, Thy mantle of mercy
Oh, God, Thy mantle of mercy
'oer my sins!
Mother, farewell! The pilgrim-
age begins!
In the "Adolis a Mi Lura" he
expressed in noble words the
consolation which the love of
poetry had been to him. He
declared that his lyre will not
remain in the dust of a vile
nesses. The annual and general conference, the visitation of the presiding elder and occasionally of the bishop, keep each community in intimate and vital touch with the general world. The Masonic visitations have much of the same effect.
These little communities are too small to maintain a Negro physician, lawyer or dentist, although we find the Negro doctor in several instances. He rarely over has to depend exclusively upon racial patronage. He only needs to get a foothold and a start among his own race. The whites, especially foreigners and Mexicans, will furnish supplementary support. Here and there one finds a letter carrier or post office employee in these little groups.
The pathos, if not the tragedy, of these little' mountain communities is the lack of the Negro teacher, physician, lawyer and higher type of workman above the level of manual toll to head up the social and general life and point it along the upward way.

CEPCION VALDES, one of our poets (best known by his was born in Havana, Cuba, the son of a Spanish dancing Placido, following the cone, and at a very early age was.

Francisco Plapplied him with writing ma- write in his store. In return pen name. Some say, how-lived from Madame de Genlis'
prison, and implores the Almighty to accept it. In the poem cited above he said that pleasant dreams were his of a Paradise of pure glory and justice which was incomprehendable to mortal, but declares that angels have seen that terrestrial land which he hopes to see within a few hours. His execution on suspicion of being a leader in a Negro uprising has lent an additional interest to his poems. But these charges were mainly the custom of Spanish barbarity in Cuba. Placido was entirely innocent. But he suffered with a multitude of Cuban patrols who were inspired by his poems.
Among his purely artistic pieces are some letrillas with such delicate titles as La Flor del Café, La Flora de la Plaña, La Flor de la Caña. These poems alone have carried Placido's name over Latin-America, if not over the world. They run short of description but are portrayals of well-etched pictures of native life and love making, in which the words of the title serve as a refrain.
Placido was a martyr to Cuban literature. . . Although he was not a voluminous writer, yet what he wrote had an even balance with an abundance of gay and mournful music. He had an abnormally sensitive ear, and his symbolism has been perhaps above all else a flash of sonorous memories. His personality is in every line. And his simplicity has rare and delightful charms. The mercurial aspects of his life made his poems fresh, vivid, lucid and magic in substance. There is always a beautiful tenderness in his poems, an almost bashful love of life and youth. A keen strain of lyrical permeates through his thunderous questionings, at times rising to heights of powerful memory and drowning all other sounds.

INSOMNIA is a condition in which there is a more or less complete inability to sleep. There are many grades to this annoying condition. In mild forms there is no retiring, sound sleep. There is restlessness with short periods of sleep. A more obstinate form sometimes occurs when there is no sleep at all.
There are many causes of sleeplessness, but for practical purposes they may be divided into:
(1) Insomnia due to pain.
(2) Insomnia due to excessive nervous excitability.

—Insomnia
INSOMNIA is a condition in less complete inability to sleep to this annoying condition, refreshing, sound sleep. There periods of sleep. A more obstinate when there is no sleep at all. There are many causes of technical purposes they may be due to insomnia due to pain.
Insomnia and pain are two symptoms which the physician is most often called to relieve, and it is his ability to properly take care of these symptoms on which his reputation depends, however, no good physician will continuously aid at all times admit sensitive people to relieve their habits are too easily formed by such a procedure and continuous use of such drugs finally acts as depressants and lowers the function of various important organs.
Non-medical sedative procedures are always first thought of and applied before habit-forming drugs are used. Thus, when the baby cries and does not no to sleep, the wise mother rocks the child and sings some lullaby: If the proves of no use, then she also the child a lukewarm sedative light, finds out if the child is bothered with a tooth just pissing out of the gum and. If so, raise some soothing preparation the irritated gum, then finally see that the child is not wet or soiled. If all these fall and the child continues to be restless and does not fall asleep, then she calls the doctor, who will give a true hypnotic such as clairvion or opium. This is the method in all cases of pain or insomnia, always try to relieve by non-medical procedures before the dumps of lilies are used. Thus if the skin is itching due to rubies, rid the skin of the lubrificants by certain local appli-
dilutions, then the person will sleep, if the heart is diseased with palpitation and shortness of breath, have a physician's proper treatment to reestablish the proper heart and circulation; if your heart is addict, addict, then take coffee from your diet; if you are a syphilic, take the proper syphilic treatment from your physician.

Notre Dame itself is fully 760 years old. A perfect gem of Gothic art, worthy of all the praise showered on it by Victor Hugo and most beautiful at night silhouetted against the stars.
Several attempts have been made to destroy it. During the Revolution of '93 it was turned into a ballet hall and later into a wine-house. At that time the statues of the saints were thrown down and those of Voltaire and Rousseau put in their places.
Near Notre Dame is the Cluny Museum, an old chateau, built on the ruins of a Roman palace.

cases of the heart and respira-
fee, tea and alcohol, must not be taken; the evening meal must be light and not eaten too late; dyspepsia, if present, should be treated by a physician. Exercise should be regulated according to the person's need. One person will sleep after taking a walk regularly after the evening meal. This walk should not be exhausting. Consider how you spend your time during the day. This may be the cause of the insomnia. Your physical work may be in excess, or your duties may be of a sedentary nature. Exercise or rest accordingly.
The room in which you sleep should be properly ventilated; you need at least 706 cubic feet; the temperature should be in the vicinity of 60 degrees. The bed is of some significance. Never use a feather bed. The best for comfort and sleep is a spring mattress that is not too soft.
The position of the body has much to do with proper sleep. In general, lying on the back should be avoided, as it produces nightmares, anxious dreams and congestions of the genital organs. The lateral, side position, with the body slightly curved, is the correct way to sleep.
In anemic and nervous people, sleep with the head low and the legs and feet relatively high. Persons with any heart trouble, on the other hand, should sleep with the head high.
In many cases sleep will be induced if a lukewarm bath at 89 to 96 degrees for fifteen minutes is taken at least two hours after the evening meal. In other people hot leg baths, up to the calves, taken at a temperature of 109 to 104 degrees, will give good results. This should be taken about ten minutes before going to bed.
In many cases of insomnia an electric current of special modality, given by your physician, will bring a sweet sleep during the night.

BACK AGAIN IN PARIS
M
Among the many historic buildings that American tourists include in their sightseeing schedules in Paris is the Cathedral of Netre Dame, pictured here. It is one of the world's most famous edifices.
The insert (upper right) is a "close up" of one of the gargoyles, the ugly little gods placed on the building. They are supposed to keep away evil spirits.
It is filled with art treasures, the most singular of which are the Chusty Belts, which the knights of old used to fasten on their wives before leaving home, are awfully tempted to give a description of them, but had better not. So far I find myself leaving out of these articles some of the most interesting things, such as deal with certain questions, and which might not interest the masses of readers. I may be wrong about the first reason, but certainly not the second, as I am only too well acquainted with Angle-Saxon prudery, little shared by the Latines and Orientales.

Confidences
Questions and Answers
By EGYPSY ANN
Recently I have received letters from many people deiring to meet persons of the opposite sex. The publication, however, cannot answer of prose of this kind, ground that undesirable persons might take advantage of such an opening. You see, we can not investigate the lives of our correspondents, and while I firmly believe in the squareness of the purpose of those who have been thus far, I have no way of determining the purpose of those who answer.
If the two people meet and The Amsterdam News is the medium, although the affair immediately passes beyond our range after the meeting, the affair will but be the responsibility for any unforeseen result. Advertising for matrimonial purposes is permitted, of course, in the paper, but not in this column. In the case of an advertisement, all responsibility solely on the person himself. It is purely for your own interest that we have adopted this course.
Dear Larry, I know about thirty-four years of age and I am terribly fond of you. I often wondered if you could all be the same person between the ages of thirty-five and forty years? Do you approve of advertising? I am sure to be so many men in walley's looking for a ready-made home but are not willing to make it. I am not a good kind-hearted, conscientious, good-providing person, don't like anything rude or rough, nothing to the extreme. I am a church member and I do like to go, although I don't mean to say that only the good people do. I don't want to say or give you a slight idea of the things I like. I like nice things, such as dresses, and like to spend time and time. And I also like to attend the theatre. I would like a man with a fairly good education, and I would always willing to learn something. He must be an American man of a brown complexion.
Dear Mrs. A. W.;
Now that you understand the paper's policy I will endeavor to answer your question. Do I approve of advertising? Personally, my dear, I wouldn't advertise for a husband for the simple reason that I don't consider myself a capable enough judge to choose one from among strangers. However, there are many happy names, a result of advertising. It's more or less a matter of personal opinion. If a person is a good judge in such a line, I should not discourage her. I am sorry that I can't help you definitely, and I hope you feel that the publication is thinking of your welfare. Sincerely,
EGYPSY ANN.

THE CHAPERONE is the girl. The question is however, is peculiarly of the hen whose brood of a symbol of the horrified a "luena" would be filled if a hevy of typical American yet confused—ideas of society.
THE CHAPERONE is the accepted guardian of young girls. The question of the chaperone in America, however, is peculiarly perplexing. The consternation of the hen whose brood of ducklings took to the water is a symbol of the horrified amazement with which an old "duenna" would be filled if she attempted to "look after" a bevy of typical American girls, with their independent—yet confused—ideas of social requirements in the matter of chaperone.
In Europe, where social lines are distinctly drawn, a young woman either belongs "in society" or else she does not. In the former case she is constantly attended by a chaperone. In the latter case she is merely a young person, a working girl, for whom "society" makes no laws. thing to allow girls and boys of the teen age to go around too much unattended by any adult. Among the parents of several children there certainly is some parent who cares enough about his children and their associates to become a chum and be at once
In our republican land no one can say that the bounds of good society lie arbitrarily here and there; certainly they are not marked by a line drawn between occupation and leisure. The same girl, after leaving school—at the period when society life begins—may be "in society" during leisure hours and in business during working hours. It is accounted perfectly ladylike and praiseworthy for a young lady well born and bred to support herself by some remunerative employment that holds her to "business hours". She may be a teacher, an artist, a bookkeeper, an editor, a stenographer, a milliner. What may she not do with talent, training, good-sense and business opportunities these days? Yes, she may do any of these things without being one lota less a lady—if she is a lady to begin with.
Many girls are self-reliant almost from childhood and do not necessarily need a chaperone. Fate endowed them early with responsibility of womanhood. But the safeguarded girl who is experienced and enters society as a sensitive, human-nature-trusting child, needs a chaperone. Society, to this young girl, is Mavairf. With the happy future veiled just beyond, she goes to meet a possible romance and to traverse a circle of events that mayhaply round up in a wedding ring. It is of the utmost importance that she shall not be left at the mercy of accidental meetings, indiscretely judgments and the heedless impulses of inexperienced youth, which may effectually blight her future in its bud.
A parent does a girl incalculable injury in allowing her to enter society life without chaperonage. The "watchcare" is not so much for physical protection as for the example of teaching her that; fine conduct and discretion will forestall the possibility of unpleasant experiences. It is not the safest or wisest

The consternation tacklings took to the water is mazement with which an old he attempted to "look after" girls, with their independent—requirements in the matter thing to allow girls and boys of the teen age to go around too much unattended by any adult. Among the parents of several children there certainly is some parent who cares enough about his children and their associates to become a chum and be at once a magnet to draw them to more mature and valuable ways of thinking.
The absolute condition of chaperonage exists during the novitiate of the young society woman. The requirements grow less and less rigid as the young woman grows more and more experienced and learns to meet social emergencies for herself. That delicate ignoring of a woman's age, which is shown in calling her a "girl" until she is married also permits her to be a chaperonaged member of society until that event.
We are proud of the American girl—the one who is essentially a lady, whether rich or poor; the one whose sterling good-sense is equal to her emergencies; the one who is self-reliant without being bold, firm without being overbearing, brawny without being masculine, strong of nerve—but yet a lady!
The chaperone who is to take the parent's place is expected to inculcate within her charges the same principles, allow the same advantages, and inspire them with the same pleasant influence of the parent.
If the practice of chaperoning young ladies were more regular we believe that we would have more chaste a group of young people in time to come than at present. Young people who at become accustomed to chaperonage find that they have more social freedom with their presence than otherwise. It is easy to believe that in after years, when a girl's life has developed safely and happily under this discreet leadership, she will look back to this guidance and thank somebody wiser than herself that she escaped the follies that more or less injured the prospects of her young friends, who were too "independent" to submit to the restraints of chaperonage and who, for lack of it, found themselves to a relative extent depreciated in social estimation.

Are You Superstitious?
WHILE WALKING I should come between say, "o' well, I do in it, but I shall not take her steps and walk around there are thousands of people is anything in it," but they they are plainly suspicion
WHILE WALKING along, if a stationary object should come between me and my wife, she would say, "0. well, I do not believe there is anything in it, but I shall not take chances." But she will retrace her steps and walk around on my side of the object. So there are thousands of people who "do not believe there is anything in it," but they will not take any chances—they are plainly superstitious.
The "black cat," superstition seems almost universal. Thousands quake and fear if they hear a "screech owl" or hear a woodpecker pecking on the house—for these are "tokens of death" they say. Many refuse to turn back in quest of anything forgotten without having first made a "cross-mark" and spat in it. Dreaming of snakes means enemies and the dreamer is terrified if he failed to kill the snake, for killing the snake means conquering the enemies. Dreaming of losing teeth or losing hair portents loss of dear friends; a dream of death means a wedding and of a wedding means death, while to dream of catching fish indicates good luck in a financial way. Among Negroes, to see a black man in a dream is a certain sign of a vicious enemy, but a white man means peace (?) and good luck.
If your cars burn, your nose itches or your shoe comes untidy, somebody is "talking about you"; if you drop food, "someone is coming hungry"; the hand itching tells "you will get some money"; for a dog to bowl indicates death; to spill salt means bad luck, unless you quickly burn some salt to break the spell: if you boast of some good fortune you had better immedi-

himself, his brother, and several other personages of his time. The Louvre, like Notre Dame, also has had its vicissitudes. Much of its treasures were destroyed in 1793, and again in 1830, when Alexander Dumas succeeded in saving valuable documents. Near the statue of Gambetta the guillotine worked for several months, chopping off heads day and night. The guillotine, by the way, still works in France. Nearby is the Arc de Triomphe

There are people who would never think of sweeping dirt out of the house after sundown; with many others, visitors must leave the house by the same door they have entered, especially on Monday. To drop a knife or a fork in eating or to set the broom down, brush-end up; to put on a garment wrong-side-out; for your clothes to become unfasted; for a rooster to crow early in the night, or a cow to low-mountly, are all serious tokens—all are serious precursors of "bad luck."
The weakness of these things lies in the fact that it is claimed only that they are tokens or indications of what is to be; they have absolutely no functions but to fortable and are powerless in influencing fortune in either direction. Well, since these things have already been determined and arranged, according to the philosophy of the superstitions, and the signs or tokens only foretell what is inevitable, why worry over what cannot be helped?

by the mob in 1871, just as another mob levelled the Bastille in 1732.
Passing through the garden with its statuary, we come to the Place de la Concorde, a magnificent square several acres in extent with fountains and statues, representing the principal cities of France. In the center of the square is an immense obelisk brought from Egypt. At this spot stood the galloine in '52 that took off the heads of more than 5,000 persons in five months, among them those of the beautiful Queen Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, Charlotte Corday, and the exquisite Madame Rohand, who at the descent of the knife uttered the dearthless saying: "Oh, Liberty! what crimes are committed in thy mane."
That revolution taught the rules of the world a lesson, and tyrannies may well exploit and tremble, for that explosive power lies still in the hearts of men when gouged too far. Something tells me that the oppressors of the Negro in America are going to have a change of luck some day just as those old aristocrats. Read Carryle's matchless history of this revolution and Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" Here are two books that will sweep you along by their sheer power.
Facing the Place de la Concorde is the Chamber of Deputies and the Saline; in the rear is the Hotel Crillon, haunt of diplomats, as well as the Church of the Madeleine and the Ministry of Marine; to cast is the Tulierles Garden, while to the west are wooded avenues, most noted of which is the Champs Elysees with its luxurious hotels, where stay the American millionaires; the Palace of the French president, and the shops of the famous dressmakers. The Champs Elysees (pronounced shaunsh-zelzyeh) terminates at the Arc de Triomphe, the most massive structure of its kind in existence, and several times larger than the largest in Rome. From the Arc handsome boulevards radiate in all directions, the most famous being the Avenue de Bols de Boulonge, which leads to the park of the same name with its noted inectrucks, Longchamps and Auteuil.
In this neighborhood is Napoleon's Tomb, perhaps the most impressive spot. In Europe next to St. Poter's. The great shining lit by windows which case, a golden glow on it, is even more beautiful than that of St. Poter's. The tomb, a massive sarcophagus of red granite, is in a huge marble well, lined by statues and stacks of flags captured by the Emperor, now hanging limp, faded, forlorn, from their standards and slowly crumbling to dust. Not far from the Are is also the Place Maltesber, better known as the Place Dumas, with statues of the three Dumases—grandfather, father and son — a record for genius that few other families in Europe have been able to beat. Lest many Negroes do not know, let me say that the Dumases were Negroes.
Returning to the Place de la Concorde by the monument to Victor Hugo, we come to the Grand Boulevard, which stretch on for several miles with smart shops and cafes, one of which is the Cafe de la Palix, the Meccan, it seems, of every foreigner who wants to register the fact that he is in Paris. Here is the quarter of the tourist agencies and the shops that cater to rich Americans, Speak French in this neighborhood, and if English is your mother tongue you'll very likely be answered in that language.
And so we come to the end of this article without mentioning the Opera, said to be the largest theatre building in existence; the Trocadero with its splendid view, and its art gallery, and statues of two Norwegian queens in front; the Halles, or market, with its Apache dona, Pace Lachalse with the tombs of the Abelard and Heloise, Corot, Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Rosa Bonheur and other notables, and the Park Monceau, one of the most delightful sylvan spots in existence.
There are so many places to be visited, so many sights to be seen from the sublime to the silly, from the sacred to the sexy, that no one need ever be dull provided.
With money in one's pocket one can be dull in New York, London, Rome, Geneva, but in Paris, jamais, grand jamais.
In my next, I will write of
Montmartre, or, rather, what I
dare write of it.

Investigate Harlem Hospital
(NO. 2)
IF FOLLOWING such an investigation as we mentioned last week Harlem hospital should find itself with a new superintendent—"a man of broader vision and a keener insight... a sathetic knowledge of human nature and human problems"—one of the earliest official acts would be to sense with the services of Negroes his staff who are of the hat-in-hat type; men who don't give a rap about the progress of the Negro in the medical profession, or the welfare of the Negro patient and public, so long as their themselves are taken care of. Such Negroes do more to impede progress toward an amicable solution of the problem presented than the most Negro-hating white man.
WHITE MEN who find themselves the head of anything which largely concerns Negroes are led too often to conclusion that by surrounding themselves with Negroes who are afraid to speak out for what is justly theirs they appease the wrath of the masses of Negroes, and find a happy solution of problems with which they are faced and are in turn left free to do as the please. In other words, they elect it on a sleeping volcano, rather than surround themselves with men who do not afraid to give them accurate information on what they believe to be true aspirations of their race.
THE PUBLIC has been led to believe that Negro physicians have been giving equitable representation in Harlem Hospital, when, as a matter of fact, no suffering has occurred. The line-up in most of the city hospitals in the surgical which is the ranking department, medical, gynecological, obstetric and other departments is as follows:
Investigate Harlem Hospital
(NO.2)
IF FOLLOWING such an investigation as we mentioned last week Harlem Hospital should find itself with a new superintendent—"a man of broader vision and a keener insight. . . . a sympathetic knowledge of human nature and human problems"—one of his earliest official acts would be to dispense with the services of Negroes on his staff who are of the hat-in-hand type; men who don't give a rap about the progress of the Negro in the medical profession, or the welfare of the Negro patient and public, so long as they themselves are taken care of. Such Negroes do more to impede progress toward an amicable solution of the problem presented than the most Negro-hating white man.

In other words, they elect to sit on a sleeping volcano, rather than to surround themselves with men who are not afraid to give them accurate information on what they believe to be the true aspirations of their race.
THE PUBLIC has been led to believe that Negro physicians have been given equitable representation in Harlem Hospital, when, as a matter of fact; no such thing has occurred.

FOLLOWING demands of Negro for representation in the hospitals in the city, and especially at Harlem Hospital, a new position was created, the provisional adjunct.

their way, but none of which give the Negro doctor a voice above a whisper in the hospital's affairs. YET, desire for these petty places and jealousy are already causing dissension in the Negro medical fraternity, when common-sense demands that they act as a unit. What Negroes need in Harlem Hospital—in fact, what all Negro Harlem needs—is an honest spokesman, a man of courage who can voice the sentiments of his people to white people—a man willing to sacrifice self for service.
NOW that President Coolidge has named a white man for Register of the United States Treasury, what excuse can the Republican administration offer for not doing something for the other 9,999,999 of us. Deduct one more, for the President has named a Negro Minister to Liberia.
WITH CHECKS for $3.200 floating around Negro newspaper offices out in Indiana, it is readily understood why the Klan candidate won the last election.
"IRISH LAD GIVES BLOOD TO NEGRO," says a headline. Just you wait until the Negro's blood begins to boil.
"FOR SALE TO COLORED" signs in white neighborhoods are so common that they have lost their selling value.
RESIGNATIONS are the order of the day among Negro Democratic leaders in Harlem.
The Mob
(From the Tampa Tribune.) 1
No mob is inspired by any chivalrous thought of defending womanhood or righteously avenging the murder of some popular man. The mob is selfish, doing what it pleases, for its own sordid purposes, exactly the same spirit which a few hours before moved its victim to commit his crime. The mob and the victim are brothers under the skin, whether the victim's skin is black or white. In fact, the mob is an accessory to the crime, assisting the murderer or attacker, although in its ignorance the mob may not think so. The mob, instead of increasing the punishment as the law would, relieves the victim of punishment.

The end the victim is brothers under the skin, the victim's skin is black or white. In fact, it is an accessory to the crime, assisting the man or attacker, although in its ignorance the man not think so. The mob, instead of incrustal punishment as the law would, relieves the vip punishment.
No matter what means of death the mob uses all over in a few hours and the murderer, who be temporarily mentally disordered, suffers pararetly little. The mob kindly saves him several days or weeks in jail brooding on crime and incessantly dreading the approach electric choir.
That is to say nothing of the chance of by the wrong man.
The mob never did a service to anybody, law, to society, to persons suffering from the real crime—service to nobody but the mob victim.
If the mob's purpose were to insure punish when it caught a man it would turn him over law and use its influence for a prompt and fair. A few days ago a Mississippi mob lynchman. In the same state a few days ago a man was duly hanged for a murder. The man suffered more unhunch. In the first the innocent public—society—suffered.
If you ever see a member of a mob, you see who is a criminal, and probably one of weak tality.
No matter what means of death the mob uses, it is all over in a few hours and the murderer, who must be temporarily mentally disordered, suffers comparatively little. The mob kindly saves him from several days or weeks in fall brooding over his crime and incessantly dreading the approach of the electric chair.
That is to say nothing of the chance of lynching the wrong man.
The mob never did a service to anybody, to the law, to society, to persons suffering from the original crime—service to nobody but the mob's own victim.
If the mob's purpose were to insure punishment when it caught a man it would turn him over to the law and use its influence for a prompt and fair trial.
A few days ago a Mississippi mob lynched one man. In the same state a few days ago another man was duly danged for a murder. The second man suffered more unishment. In the first case, the innocent public—society—suffered.
If you ever see a member of a mob, you see one who is a criminal, and probably one of weak mentality.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Devil's Playground"
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Sir: I address myself not only to your es-
staff, but to the whole body of intelligent
scrippers.

sence. The stage-setting is Harism. The principal pe-
nents are Negroes Harism. Negroes are Negroes

Sir: I address myself not only to your editorial staff, but to the whole body of intelligent subscribers.
The "Devil's Playground" has shifted eastward. The stage-setting is Harlem. The principal performers are Negroes. In Harlem—the great mecca of Negro thought—there are no social leaders. These are some of the points glanced from Mr. Eckman. Mr. Eckman wrote in the *Playground*. The Amsterdam News, July 6, 1927. Perhaps "the leaders" have found the "Playground" such a lucrative and interesting affair that they have joined hands with the devil's group.
The bone of contention in Mr. Grey's article is that the problem of the social and moral deprivation of Harlem has been intensified, because the diversions of the Negro "are regulated by and financed by the capital of the exploiting group," and that under such a state of affairs "untold dangers, social, economic and political, will ensue to the detriment of the sumptuary group." Against this argument no one can reasonably launch any attack. However, the writer should realize that the continued presence of this depraved joy-seeking group is only due to the willingness of certain Negroes to be accomplices in this salacious pastime. Further, since the desire to make a appearance is stronger today than it was years ago, I doubt whether any "natural inhibitions" would operate to restrain Negro renders from sending its youth to detention, as long as there was money to be made from this human de-caughter.
The "Devil's Playground" is vicious whether operated by Negroes against Negroes or by whites and Negroes in combination against other Negroes.
All of this argument shows
that the public must be closely akin
As long as Negro traffickers of human bodies business, the vile stench from this morrow wilt line on the road to degeneration. These cow will not only serve to gratify the instincts of but to put money in the pockets of others, as to satisfy the craving for fineries and harpances "which the community demands." The exploiting, joy-seeking group has been to sense the cheap desires of the community consequently has impressed its keener senses reaction and its purse upon the will of the community. If public opinion desires the appear human wrecks, and is willing to pay the p will get its money's worth.

This only true of New York. A similar story can of the large mid-West industrial centers, former rural population has swallowed the vile dominant group, as a result of the absence intelligent leaders and a failure to adjust them to the exacting demands of modern industrial ditions.

By THE CAMERAMAN
Negroes and New York.
ONE of our kind, good and lovable contemporaries has, it seems, journeyed to Little Old New York and ventured the amazing statement that "the negroes of New York are far behind other cities in race progress."
Just as other cities in the sinner neighborhood meet — whether Washington, St. Louis, Wilmington, Del. Mound Bayon, Miss. Chicago or Jacksonville—does not appear in the reports of the faithful Negro press of New York.
Furthermore, "Race Progress" is a vague and pendent script "mural" in honest-to-goodness American cities like New York, Boston and Chicago, where the designation "American" still takes precedence over blood and race. In fact, "Race Progress" is a rubberized designation which has been coined and devised by proponents of race distinctions and discriminations.
For example; take the Jewish race, whose exploits, finances, business ventures and educational advancements are so strongly interwoven—at least in Little Old New York, thank God—with those adjuncts of the lives of all other residents of New York, that no one pays to comment upon the race progress which the Jews have made or whether they are laging behind their kinsmen of Atlanta, Ga., or Bangor, Me. In fact, as the song goes, "What Does It Matter?"
Nevertheless, for the sake of racial retrospection, let us take a bird's-eye view of Negroes of New York, which, by the way, is a veritable mecca for Negroes who have become dissatisfied with the progress (not especially by race) which they formerly made in the "other cities" which the good and kind observer had in mind.
Ever since we were kids, Negroes of New York have attended and graduated from public, private and collegiate schools with high honors. (This isn't exactly racial progress; IT IS SOCIAL PROGRESS, WHICH IS A DEAL MORE IMPORTANT THAN RACIAL PROGRESS—at least in the eyes of the U. S. Constitution.)
More than sixty years ago a venerable but learned Negro was licensed as a pilot throughout important waters touching the State of New York, while 20 years later his son was chief veterinator in his largest houseemporium in the State of New York. Economically speaking, giants like Philip A. Pavon blazed the trail for many of the solidified Negro businesses which now do not only Harlem but now upward through the State.
Nerges have been elected to the Board of Aldermen, to the State Assembly, and to the Municipal Government. And today, economically, spiritually and educationally, Nerges in New York in real progress rank second only, perhaps, to Chicago, where similar conditions obtain. There is yet outstanding, however, in New York a large block of Nerges who are more interested and more so, in American nerges, than they are in racial progress. These Nerges are, like the Italians, the Germans, the Portuguese and the dozens of admixtures of racial content, Americanized more strongly than they are racialized. They mingle freely
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
Oxley, on Jose Maria y Campuza Heredita is very interesting and informing. This poet, the son of Spaniards residing in Santo Domingo, was born on December 31, 1803, in the city of Santido de Cuba. I would like to know how Oxley performed the remarkable feat of painting this Heredita black, when the singer of the "Nagara" is and has been known as a Cuban of white descent. It may be possible that our contributor does not know the Spanish language nor the difficulty which the colored people of Cuba would have received as early as 1915 or thereabout when Heredita received his B. A. from the University of Habana. Heredita is the famous Cuban poet, his "Nagara" specially has lifted him to rank among the classics of his age and his works are known in the world of letters. It is a remarkable coincidence that his first book of poetical compositions should have been printed in New York City during the year 1825.
It would be a great honor to include him among the men of the race. It such were the case, but it does much harm to mar the writer's series of articles if he is going to indiscriminately claim by his own ruling and without references white men as colored. I recall reading years ago in Martin R. Delanoy's "Condition. Elevation, Emigration and Destiny of the Colored People of the U. S." (Philadelphia, 1852, 215 pp.) his comparative criticism of Nott and Gildon's "Types of Manhood," where they indiscriminately pictured everybody of any attainment white and the Nekro writer, Robert Benjamin Lewis, in his book, "Light and Truth," etc. (Boston, 1844, 400 pp), where he painted most white people colored or black. The words of Delanoy, who characterized the whose thing as nonsense, are very timely. We want the light, yes, but we also want the plain truth. Calcagno published a book on the colored poets of Cuba some time during 1888, being right on the spot. He was recognized as a man of letters and I cannot see why he didn't include the Heredia mentioned as a person of color. I would like to ask Oxley to come across with the facts.

and welcomefully and deal and work with other Americans of the great metropolis, regardless of race. And the simon-pure reason why Little Old New York is what it is, with free milk, free baths, unagregated parks, free hospitalization, and equalized opportunities. Is because the social order transcends the racial order—unity overlaps individuality—metropolitan greatness overshadows group organization—the races are incidental to cosmopolitanism. This, thank God, is what New York boasts of, and we ardently pray it may always be go.
What other cities offer the like?
The Alabama Worm Turns
ACCORDING to the great white press the Alabama worm has turned in the form of a bill recently introduced in the Alabama State Legislature which seeks to bar the wearing of masks for other than legitimate purposes. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to appear on Alabama highways (or byways) disguised by a mask; and if the perpetrator of a crime is found violating the law under the bill, he would be guilty of a criminal act, carrying with it a minimum of five years' imprisonment.
This is an amazing proposal for Senator Hefflin's State, where lynchings, arson and flogging have flourished for many a year under the direction of hooded hosts; and the sponsor of the anti-mask measure must indeed be an intride legislator of farseeing vision. We believe that the Alabama Legislature will pass the measure? Is the State really disgusted with masked burglaries, robbers, and last but not least, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan? We wonder if, indeed, the feeble worm of Alabama conscience has really turned?
In Defense of the Editor

W instantly heating on the drum that a paper should be crudely die when the people don't want erudition, but news with flavor" says Robert Lincoln O'Brien, editor of the "Boston Hornel," who recently interviewed in further defense on the present-day attacks on journalism, and in answer to the constant query, "Why print all this crime and scandal business?" Mr. O'Brien undertakes to explain the situation and shows that the people are evidently getting what they want, as the "newspaper has a much larger hold on the community today than it used to have," and those papers which "express the objections" have greater popularity than the papers which represent preserved journalism. "The New York Times," which has the City of New York and the nation for its circulation area," can afford to adopt a conservative policy. This is the exception.
Statistics on circulation bear out the fact that "the American citizen likes to see large type, to read startling occurrences, and to find daring opinions expressed on editorial pages." This goes to show that newspapers, like every other commercial venture, are dealing with human nature," and the editor must know the newspaper-reading public in order to make his paper pay. Speaking as an editor, Mr. O'Brien says: "Yes, we editors have consciences. They trouble us, too, at times; but an editor must conclude at times that his duty to the public compels printing news that gives thrills." From the standpoint of business, Mr. O'Brien is fundamentally right. If the editor's conscience is disturbed it is not his fault; he must "deliver the goods."

to the Nordic group in its reading appetite for the sensational and the morbid—for are not our newspapers flagrant with news of crime and scandal? After all, it is the public which needs to improve its taste and the editor will cater to it. Why not let us become ploneers in reform journalism?
Are We Reverting?
THE WASHINGTON POST" reports that
POST reports that the court at Winchester, Va., recently sentenced a dog to death for his crimes. We wonder if it were not a black dog. This carries one back to the history of Mediaeval days, when animals were executed, after trial and sentence, for such as sheep killing, meat stealing and similar crimes. Are we going back to the dark days of old? One would almost believe it after scanning the front pages of many of our Nordic news-papers.
The burning of Negroes at the stake carries with it a reminder of the Spanish Inquisition, while the human torches that have been recently blazing in Mississippi and Arkansas are a replica of the torches lighted by Nero to luminate his vast amphitheatre on gala nights. His torches were not black, but white — Christians dying for their faith. Nero was a pagan. The American Nordic is a Christian and a habitual churchgoer. When learned judges legally condemn dogs to be hanged and black men are hanged without legal trial, then the dark days have really come again, and America needs a Renaissance and Reformation.
TO ACKNOWLEDGE that you are wrong, after you find out that you are wrong, is one of the bravest, and rarest, of human achievements.
Henry Ford has just acknowledged that the articles published for years in his "Dearborn Independent," attacking and slandering the Jewish people, were wrong. And he tells us, what we knew already, that, although the articles have his name as author, he did not know what was in them until now, when a libel suit brought by a Jew induced him to read the articles and see what all the ado is about. In other words, Henry Ford did not only not write those articles, but did not even read them.
Poems submitted for publication in "The Poets Corner" will not be returned unless accompanied with a self-addressed and stamped envelope.
INTO the furnace let me go alone:
Stay you without in terror of the heat.
I will go naked in—for thus 'tis sweet:
Into the weird depths of the hottest zone.
I will not quiver in the frailest bone.
You will not note a flicker of defeat:
My heart shall tremble not its fate to meet.
Nor mouth give utterance to any moan.
The yawning oven spits forth fiery spears:
Red aspish tongues shout wordlessly my name.
Desire destroys, consumes my mortal fury.
Transforming me into a shape of flame.
I will come out, back to your world of tears.
A stronger soul within a liner frame.

names to important documents.
Certainly an attack upon a whole
people is an important item of
business.
We knew that Henry Ford
never wrote those articles; for,
although he has the intelligence
to write them, he never had the
education or the information to
write them. He now proves his
intelligence by reading them,
understanding them, and rejecting
them.
This rejection and apology is
nothing but creditable to Henry
Ford. It was an error ever to
permit himself to be so imposed
upon. But he does all that can
be done now to remedy the fault.
Urban League Awards Social Fellowships
The National Urban League, through its executive secretary, Eugene Kinckle Jones, has announced its fellowship awards for the 1927-28 school year.
Miss L. Genevieve Lomax was awarded the "Ella Sachs Plotz Fellowship" at the New York School of Social Work. Miss Lomax is an honor graduate of Howard University. 27, having graduated with magna cum laude. She is a native of Bluefield, W. Va.
The joint fellowship, maintained by the New York School of Social Work and the National Urban League, was awarded to Cecil D. Halliburton, a 1923 graduate of Lincoln University, in Pennsylvania. He is a native of Hickman, Ky.
The third award was to Floyd L. C. Covington, native of Topkana, Kan, and a graduate of Washburn College, Topkana. He is assigned to the University of Pittsburgh, where his field work will be associated with the Urban League of Pittsburgh, which pays one-half of the fellowship.
These students will receive tuition scholarships from the schools to which they are assigned and their living expenses from the Urban League—the total value of the fellowships amounting to around $1,200 each. There are three courses five applicants to the fellowships of fifty-two students the competitive examination based upon which the final selections were made.
During the past sixteen years the league has had about fifty "fellows" in training, practically all of whom are actively engaged in social work—many of them leaders in their field.
Baptism
It is a credit to his personal character; it shows him to be a heart a fair and manly man. Yes, and it is also a credit to his business acumen: he knows that a big little people like the Jews, mighty in finance, will not be. in the end, lied upon and labeled with impunity.
Ford's action is also to be credited to the Jews:
1. To their character: they are one of the smallest elements of crime in the nation. That is why Ford can so confidently recall the slanders which he had unwittingly permitted to be broadcasted against them. It is a case where well-established character holds like a wall of defense.
2. It is a credit to their organization and racial esprit de corps. The Jews stand together perhaps better than any other race of people. The nerve of racial honor seems to run through every Jew in America, and when it is touched they all feel. Lastly, Ford's own words justify the suit which Shapro, the Jew, had been prosecuting against him for libel. Ford, so far, had the advantage in that suit, so that it is all the bigger thing for him to make these acknowledgments. We trust that the suit will be dropped in the same spirit.
Now, if Blease, and Coffeyville, and General Bullard will just turn in and correct a few lies, make a few acknowledgments and print an apology to the American Negro, the "Recording Angel" can go on a summer vacation.
"The Caucasian Storms Harlem"
"The Caucasian Storms Harlem" is the subject of an article by Dr. Rudolph Fisher which will appear in the August issue of the American Mercury.
In six pages of reading matter Dr. Fisher tells of the Harlem cabaret—some long since dead and others now in their bloom—the shows with Negro casts that took Broadway by storm, Florence Mills, Sissle and Blake and many others of the theatrical, musical and literature world as found in Harlem.
"Maybe these Nordics at last have turned in on our wavelength" states Dr. Fisher in concluding his article and in emphasizing the fact that the whites have become a part of Harlem.
"Maybe they are at last learning to speak our language."
TO OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY
The date of the celebration in honor of the fifth anniversary of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee organization has been changed from August 4 to Thursday, September 22. Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary of the committee, made this announcement last week.
"The Savanna-Life Club, which is arranging the celebration, and the members of the Harlem Committee all agreed that, since many people are out of the city in August, it would be much better to have Open House Day in September," said Mrs. Keaton. "Then residents of the committee will be able to see our exhibit and will be able to see our exhibit and take part in our celebration."
Mrs. Augusta Corbin is president of the Savanna-Life Club.
