CATO LODGE BAND WINS FIRST PRIZE RAIN DRENCHES PARADERS REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION With I. B. P. O. E. News West Indian-American Negro Problem Cure Is Suggested VOL. XVIII. NO. 39. RAI West Pr Current Comment By WILLIAM PICKENS Ameah III and Bellegarde. If must be interesting to American Negroes to see at the Fourth Pan-African Congress Ameth the Third, great Chief of the Gold Coast, West Africa, and to learn that he is not a puppet into that he is a cultured man of affairs. Without self-consciousness he reaches casually into his vests pocket and pulls out a bill, calling it "a dollar," and contributed toward expenses of the congress. Not when the collectors unroll "the Dollar" their eyes expand, for it turns out to be TWO BILLS instead of one—and one bill. is $50 and the other is $100—one hundred and fifty dollars, a bigger sum than any American Negro has ever yet contributed to an international organization of Negroes. Then there is Bellegarde, supreme orator of Hali and of the world. We have heard a lot of them. He is real. His beautiful French runs like music from a fine instrument. And he is not all "sound." His thoughts are enthused. But even those of the audience who could not understand French were moved by that superlanguage of the real orator: THE MONNETISM. It was interesting to see people clapping their hands in the close of his periods, even though they knew not a word of his French. After knowing and learning Bellegarde, the writer of this note realizes for the first time that the writer could hardly have observed the praise which a representative of the League of Nations paid him when he spoke in London, England, last January. Salf the English representative of the League: "Twice now have I heard international problems discussed tably and eloquently by Neooro men—the speaker of the evennai in English and Bellegarde of Hali in French." Not until I heard Bellegarde in New York, did I realize what an exaggerated compliment that polite gentleman had tried to pay me. Says Woman Dashed Lye in His Face His entire head swathed in hands ages, and looking very much like a "live ghost." Theodore Jefferson, 25, 265 West 129th street, appeared in Helghts Court yesterday to press his charge against Marle Knight, 22, of the same address, whom he charges with dashing lye into his face. Miss Knight was held in $5,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of felonious assault. The incident is said to have occurred about 11:30 p. m. last Friday night, following an altercation between them. The name of Ida Anderson, 147 West 136th street, is given as a witness.

DISCUSSED BY NOTED NEGROES Tete-Ansa; Native of That Country, Says "Yes" Favors Peaceful Adjustment-Scored as Pacifist. By CLIFFORD L. MILLER Can Africans save Africa ca, said "Yes" at yesterday at African Congress at Moravian He was pleading for Africa at its height. The audience seetaking place as they considere Clement Morgan of Boston p Ansa had many suggesti native land. What he said tha than anything else was that A have arms to save herself. I were those who took excepti lieving that the African need use to protect themselves aga Can Africans save Africa? Tete-Ansa, a native of Africa, said "Yes" at yesterday afternoon's session of the Pan-African Congress at Moravian Church in West 136th street. He was pleading for Africa while the Elks' parade was at its height. The audience seemed unmindful of the parade taking place as they considered soberly the future of Africa. Clement Morgan of Boston presided. Ansa had many suggestions for the redemption of his native land. What he said that impressed the audience more than anything else was that Africa didn't want and wouldn't have arms to save herself. In the general discussion there were those who took exception to his pacifist attitude, believing that the African needs to use what all other races use to protect themselves against aggression. Prof. W. R. Hansberry of Howard stressed the value of study of anthropology to give the race pride so necessary to do things. He predicted that this study may yet reveal the Negro the mother of all races. WARM DISCUSSIONS. The discussion waxed warm and went far beyond the limits of time. George Frazier Miller, George E. Haynes, Mrs. Barrow and William Pickens took part. Pickens' flashed several epigrams, one of which provoked applause: "It is not so important where the African came from as where he is going to land." Woman Held on Policy Charge Says Slips Were Used by One of Her Lodgers. The chair introduced Loren Thomas, white, of the Industrial League, who said that no race is ever sufficient unto itself. The chair had to show firmness to bring all discussion to an end. The Congress then visited the 135th street branch of the New York Public Library to see the Schumburg collection of books and art dealing with the Negro. At last night's session Chief Amoh, in his native costume, made one of the principal addresses at the Salem Methodist Church. The chief is in America studying its economic life. He has already lived in England, where he was a close student of its economic life. His country, the Gold Coast, controls 50 per cent of the cocon of the world, which is cultivated by the natives. Two hundred thousand tons of cocoa are shipped annually from this land, and the natives are rapidly learning to market it to their own advantage. It is his deep conviction that Africa has limitless possibilities for development, provided there is sufficient capital and skilled workers. Africa's great need is black America's opportunity to serve. He would have the Negro first save himself and then seek to serve his motherland beyond the sea.

Cato Band of Lodge No. 20 of that name of Philadelphia won first prize in the annual band contest held last night at Manhattan Casnio. James Davis, bandmaster, conducted the band through two selections, one a march, "Semper Fidelis," and the other an overture, "Ilguarany." Since that was the only band entered in the Class A competition, the judges had nothing else to do but award them first prize. Two bands competed in the Class B division. They were Ultrum Lodge Band of Orange, N. J., and Pride of Camden Lodge Band of Camden, N. J. The judges decided that the latter was the batter of the two and awarded to Pride of Camden first prize in Class B, with a taking second honors. The winning band in that division, of which James P.

Elks of the World, braved the elements and took part in the annual convention parade yesterday afternoon. While the parade was spectacular, it was not like the ones of past years, nor were there in line the usual thousands that heretofore have always marched in the annual convention procession. The downpour probably accounted for some of the slininess in numbers, as many refused to make the march in the rain. Picked Up Gun in Street, Man Says Magistrate, However, Doubts Story and Holds Him. Robert Douglass, 26, 221 West 121st street, was arraigned in Heights Court yesterday before Magistrate Flood, charged with carrying a dangerous weapon. The arresting officer testified that he arrested Douglass when he saw him with a revolver tucked in his trousers belt, at 101 West 142d street. Douglass pleaded not guilty, and related that another fellow had the gun and had thrown it into the street. He picked it up, he said, and was arrested. Magistrate Flood, upon the strength of Douglass' police record, doubted his story and held him without ball for the Court of General Sessions. The defendant had previously been arrested for a similar offense under the name of William Bardelben and William Lewis. DETITION FIRST CLASS AND CONTEST Lodge No. 20 of that name of in the annual band contest held in Ohio. James Davis, bandmaster, two selections, one a march, other an overture, "Ilguarany." and entered in the Class A com- ing else to do but award them Camden first prize in Class B, with a talking second honors. The winning band in that division, of which James P. Moore is (Continued on Page 2.) Promptly) at 1 p.m., the scheduled time, the parade got under way, an innovation for such affairs. Led by a platoon of mounted police, the first of the procession reached the official reviewing stand at 107th street and Fifth avenue at 1:50. This stand, built by the city for the use of the local committee, was filled with people, all of whom were drenched watching the parade. Joseph Blondy Brown, grand marshal, and Casper Holtstein, honorary chairman of the local entertaining committee, followed in an auto and then came the grand exalted ruler in a car with Dr. William George Avant, grand chaplain, Perry Howard, and Judge William Hueston. Mr. Wilson was all smiles, as he passed the reviewing stand and stood while acknowledging the plaudits of the crowd. A number of district deputies on horseback came next, after which came Police Sergeant Samuel J. Dartles in uniform, leading a squad of New York Negro policemen. A squad of Negro police reserves followed. NEW YORK LODGES IN LEAD Three three entertaining lodges—Manhattan, Monarch and Imperial—headed the lodges in line. All three had big representations out, with imperial leading in point of numbers. The other two local lodges gave Imperial a close run, however, for numerical strength. Eureka Temple female band made a hit as it passed the reviewing stand playing "Tankee Rose." They were judged the best looking of the three local temples in line. Past Exalted Ruler's Council No.1 came next, followed by Brooklyn Lodge No.32 with its band. The ladies of Excelsior Temple of Brooklyn long ago selected umbrellas as part of their convention uniform and they came in very handy yesterday in keeping some of the water off them. The band of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge, attired in brand new uniforms, olicited much favorable comment as they passed in review at the head of New York City's baby lodge. George E. Bates of Newark, the grand secretary, was not afraid of the rain and marched at the head of Past Exalted Ruler's Council of New Jersey. Lighthouse Lodge No.9 of Atlantic City had a big representation in line together with a large band and a number of daughters from that lodge's temple. Availing themselves of Police Commissioner Warren's permission to march in their policeman's uniform, two members of Philie of Camden Lodge of Camden, N. J., were attired in the police uniform of that city, they being members of Camden's police force. Twenty-four members of Philadelphia's police force were also in the parade, wearing their uniforms.

E. L. James, leader of that band, con- ducted his players through’ the march and then played as the overture “Under a Circus Tent.” The judges were Lieut. Clifford Ridgley, leader of the Sixty-ninth Regiment Band; William C. Brown, formerly of Sousa's Band, now 2 member of the Goldman organiza- tlon, and D. A. MeDonald, band- master. All of the Judges were white. Lieut. Fred W. Stmyzon, leader of Monarch Band, was chairman of the committee in charge of the band contest. A. N.

Simp- gon and his committee conducted the contest won for them unstint- ed praise from all the coatestants, who sald that it was the fairest and best conducted band contest ever held at an Elks’ convention. Monarch Band to Give Free Concert An outstanding feawire of all Elk conventions for the past six years has been the free band con- certa of Lieut. Fred W. Simpson's Monarch Band.

Walter Bell, 10 West 132d street, had charged Tolrac with failure to return $700 he said he paid Tolrac on the purchase of property located at 146 West 132d street. At the trial it appeared that Bell had had reason to doubt Tolrac's statements regarding the balance due on the third mortgage for $250, the correct measurement of the house frontage, and the amount paid monthly by the tenant occupying said premises. However, Tolrac declared that he did own the property, but admitted that he could not give Bell a clear title. He offered to return Bell's money, he said, but asked for a little more time. Although the alleged facts of the case as they appeared in the Amsterdam News of August 17 were obtained directly from the court records, denial is made that the contract was signed in the real estate office of J. Q. Moses, 432 Lenox avenue. Attorney Edward Watts, 200 West 135th street, told a reporter that Mr. Moses called him to his office to draw up the contract between Tolacr and Bell. The payment of $700 on August 11 has also been questioned. Counterfeiter Taken Back to New Orleans NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23 (By The Associated Negro Press).—Removal of Gus Purnell from Chicago to New Orleans to face counterfeiting charges has been done by C. K. Langham, secret service operative in charge of the New Orleans district, after the arrest of Purnell in the Illinois city. Participants in a crap game at Baton Rouge on July 4 were victimized by Purnell, who was described as the bearer of a bag of gold. The coins turned out to be counterfeit and came into the hands of secret service agents, who traced their source to Chicago. Purnell came to New Orleans and Baton Rouge as a member of the holiday excursion party from Chicago. Four Men Held on Burglary Charge Benjamin McNell, 18; his brother, Fred McNell, 20; Arlee McCurtha, 21, and L. Melvin Richardson, 21, 126 East 108th street, were arraigned in Harlem Court on a charge of burglarizing the tailor shop at 124 East 108th street early in the morning of August 17, and were held for a hearing on Friday. Isadore Levy, 75 East 108th street, owner of the store, claimed that the men took $200 worth of clothing. Fred McNell was held without bail and the others were held in $5,000 bail each. Benjamin McNell was also charged with possessing a blackjack. Detectives Sater, Spottke and Classgrove of the 104th street station made the arrest. Freed on Charge She Beat Child Mrs. Amelia Fuents, 30, 20 East 121st street, charged with beating Nellie Taylor, 12, of the same address, was discharged by Magistrate Farrell in Harlem Court yesterday. A. T. Anderson, a real estate broker at 322 Lenox avenue, claimed that the child went to his wife and begged to be taken in. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children announced that they would take the girl to Children's Court and have her appear as a neglected child in order that they might have her committed to an institution. Mrs. Fuents denied the charge.

Bail was set at $1,000 to answer to the Court of Special Sessions. According to Patrolman Chisholm of the West 135th street station, he apprehended Weston about three o'clock Monday afternoon on 133d street near Lenox avenue. In Weston's hand and in his clothing, Chisholm said he found ten decks of heroin. "What are you doing with this?" he asked him. Weston is said to have replied, "I have it for my own use and cannot do without it." Held. on Larceny Charge.

Charged with disorderly conduct and conducting an immoral house, Joseph Brown, 30, 67 West 132d street, was held without bail for a hearing today, when arraigned in Heights Court yesterday before Magistrate Flood. Detective Keevan, of the Sixth Division, testified that with the aid of Patrolman Hofferman, who was in plain clothes, he set the stage for Brown's capture by posing as men in search of a "good time." One Carrie Washington, he said, had accepted $2 from Patrolman Hofferman for immoral purposes, and they also learned that Brown had been conducting his "business" on a fifty-fifty agreement with the Washington woman.

By Principal Leslie Pickney Hill of the Cheyney Normal and Industrial School of Cheyney, Pa. He said that one of the great needs of the world today is for Africans to interpret Africa to the nations of the world. The continent of mystery may become the one of light. All nations now covet Africa for her inexhaustible riches. Africa has more to give than material things, when rightly understood. He believes that "Africa for Africans" is a misleading slogan. With the co-operation of all parties interested in this great continent, a new day will dawn. He thought the Pan-American Congress could find the common platform of right human relationships and work for a newer Africa in the spirit of patience and optimism. Tonight the closing session will be held at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Dr. William Mensching, Mr. John Vandercook, Mr. Arthur Schomburg and Dr. W. E. D. DuBois will be the speakers. The subject for this closing session is "Education in Africa." CAN NEGROES UNITE? Can the Negroes under every flag in the western world come together for their own common needs? Tuesday morning's session answered this question. W. E. B. Culteis led the exposition on the problems of the Caribbean Sea. The economic disabilities in these fertile isles were shown. Thoughtful students of conditions from the West Indian Islands in the discussion period gave Caribbean information on conditions Messrs. Brooks, Phillips, D. Lazerde, Cory and Iceward They all agreed that the political and social systems of the different islands were the same—it matters not what the government may be. This is also true of Dutch Guiana of South America. They were all one in condemning the present economic order of countries; they all would change the continued educational systems, and introduce vocational education to these ready peoples. They were equally one in thinkin' that the governments were too pro-antic, and the subjects too much inclined to depend on them for everything. Scientific development of the farm lands would go 10 This Double-Quick Bleach Never Fails! LOVELY, light-toned skin—what charm it has, how it fascinates!

WEST INDIAN-AMERICAN NEGRO PROBLEM. The consummation of union between West Indians and Americans of African descent could only come about by the West Indians first dropping their own prejudices against the different islanders other than their own island, the abolition of color prejudice, and readiness to get rid of any thought of superiority over the American Negro. A frank recognition of the American Negro's part was admitted in bringing about this cohesion of common interests, "Extermination and bondage will overtake a race too stupid to console date to move onward and upward," one speaker said. Messages from all parts of the world were announced by Rayford Logan. Notable among them was one from the Governor of Oregon, Morefield Storey, the Boston champion of the legal rights of the black man, and Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard University. DR. CHAS. WESLEY SPEAKER AT MONDAY EVENING SESSION "No nation can play its part without a belief in a great past," so said Dr. Charles H. Wesley at the evening session on Monday. This session was held at the St. James Presbyterian Church. The speaker's subject was the history of Africa. He said that there is no future for Africa without a worthwhile past like Greece and Rome, France and Spain. The Africa of popular conception is a continent without a history — a dark continent. Dr Wessley then gave the early history of Africa, which made the audience swell with pride. The Negro culture of this ancient Africa equalled in government, industry and social life any of the tribes of Europe of the same period. The glory which was Africa's passed away when her kings condemned and carried on the slave trade. "From empire building they fell to slave hunters," he said. His conclusion was that Africa has a background comparable to that of early Europe. PROF. HERSKOWITZ ADDRESSES DELEGATES. Proof. Melville Herskowitz of Columbia University had as his theme "The African and His American Half-Brother." As a result of his investigation of seven thousand Negroes of America he has been led to believe that a new physical type is being evolved. This he explains as due to social selection on the basis of color. "The African is half-cousin to the American Negro," was his conclusion. BELLEGARDE SPEAKS. In a dramatic, impassioned plan, M. Dantes Bellegarde of Port au Prince, Haït, told the story of the "dispersed children of Africa" in the new world. He showed that he is thoroughly conversant with the inequalities of the American Negro. He told the dramatic story of the rise of the Haitian Republic and its contribution to our American freedom. He exposed with great eloquence the injustice of the United States Government's policy of meddling in the affairs of their government. He saw no justification for the intervention. He called President Couldice the real sovereign of Haiti and he devoutly hoped the Pan-African Congress would protest for the freedom and right of this nation to run its own affairs without supervision, "if this experiment of self-government falls," he said "it is a blow to all Negroes of the world." In this lengthy address, the resources of Rayford Logan as interpreter came to the forefront. High-Flow Words Cause of Battle ANNISTON, Ala., Aug. 23.—(By the Associated Negro Press).

The finding of a still in operation at Allen's home led to the belief that the trouble had its origin in an argument over whiskey. The altercation started at the home of Martin, when Allen went over and accosted him about "certain misgivings." After having his say, Allen returned to his home about five miles distant and was followed by Martin. The quarrel was resumed in the Allen home and ended with the killing. Martin escaped the officers who appeared on the scene, but surrendered later. He is being held on a charge of murder in the first degree.

Fort Dearborn and Great Lakes Lodges of Chicago, the former in their well known natty watching costume, and the latter in their equally well known wide brimmed hats, were next in line. When the Virginia delegation came along they got a loud cheer from those in the grand stand, seemingly on general principles. Probably because they appreciated those cheers, the drum major of Williams Lodge No. 11 of Richmond put on plenty of action as he passed the reviewing stand.

Prominent among them were the floats of Mohawk Temple of Plainfield and that of Invincible Temple of this city. The former were represented as Indians and the latter represented the Status of Liberty. These were twenty-eight bands in all, four of their females, that marched. Notwithstanding the heavy downpour, the entire line of march, beginning at Sixth street, where the parade started, to 145th street, where it disbanded, was crowded. Among the onlookers were a vast number of whites who seemed to enjoy the spectacle. The upown reviewing stands which were built by private parties got a poor play owing to the rain, but the windows of all the homes along Seventh avenue where the parade passed were filled with people. The procession disbanded at New York Oval, and owing to the weather, the athletic events planned by the president, the parade had to be abandoned.

This soft, satiny "feel" comes from an extremely thin "layer" of LINIT—invisible to the eye—left on the skin after the bath. This thin, porous coating of powder is evenly spread—not in spots that it may clog the pores—but thinly and evenly distributed over all parts of the body. And the most astonishing thing about this new LINIT Beauty Bath is that the cost is negligible practically a penny a bath. The outstanding attraction of a LINIT Bath is that the results are immediate. You need not wait weeks for some sign of improvement in your skin—simply swish two or more handfuls of LINIT around in moderately warm water, bathe, and immediately you sense an entirely different supple softness in your skin.

FUR COATS Beauty Hints By MINA TEMPLE Lemon and the Elbows When you make lemon custards or slice lemons for the tea, just put the ends of the rinds aside. Keep them in a dish and place them on your vanity case. At night before retiring just rub the elbows with them, and in the morning after scrubbing them well with a brush and some soft soap, rub a little bit of the lemon-on again. If there is a roughness, just put a little cold cream over the lemon. If your elbows are too sharp, use skin food instead of cold cream. Do this faithfully for ten days and you will be very proud of your elbows in your sleeveless gown. Thearcher Says August 23 is a very much better birthdate.

Fons at Farmers Oval were given a rare treat on Sunday when the excellent pitching efforts of both Chad See and Hen Wiley enabled the Farmers to score a palr of shutout victories over the Poun Red Caps. The scores were 4 to 0 und 3 to 0. After See bad fet the Red Cap sluggers down with the two hits in the first game, Wiley took the mound in the second and allowed only six safe blows, thus forcing the vist: tors to accept eight hits in 18 run- less innings. See's exhibition in the opening contest was, of course, the more Impressive. " In fact, of the two safeties he allowed, one was a scratchy infield grounder, although the other was a clean single to the outer garden. Chad had only recently been driven out of the box in a game with the Red Caps and his triumph Sunday was. of course doubly sweet. The Farmers scored their first run in the opener in the third stanza on a walk, a sacrifice bunt, ® sacrifice fly and an Infeld single. Two more markers were chalked uo fn the fifth frame as a resuit of the wildest of wild throws by Lindsey,. the Pennsylvanian rec- ond baseman, A trio of one+timers secounted for the fourth and final tally of this game, FIRST GAME, FARMERS, ‘AB.

BUM as our judgment is inclined to be not then, yet we have the hardship, superintendent by downpeasers no doubt, if our good friends had to tell us, to form and keep our own opinion, even if we feel that we stand alone. And sometimes some of those same misconceptions were not cause for deciding that we have as much right to differ with them, where one could show and color performers are concerned, for what they do not know of the real colored shows of the past would about fit that four-foot shelf. TISET have no record by which it is except what they are told by those who are just no instant of the condition of they know some people who will, without a moment's hesitation, hang on the mark. "Directed. Thing Since Williams and Walker." "Better Than Williams and Walker." "Some but revue, without a moment's hesitation." THE habit has become so bad you will even find the white managers in Nogata neighborhoods responding to the threat of being gone. But in the remember they burgled some fair humped, whose chapens bode them outburst, say she heard that William and only the expatriate of the famous english which they will not allow to die. NOTE also, we who care run and pool up option on Bill (Denggloe Robinson) as seen forth in the philip (thebent) column of the New York Herald-Tribune by one of the top information from the Greenwich Village "business" which Mendenhall drew his thanks on some of our interns becoming the white big-city "At the Fulton Theatre last week there appeared a practically unknown performer who, in the estimation of him, was the first time he is one of the great entertainers of his day. His name is Bill Robinson, and he is, by trade, a tap dancer; by race, a racecar driver; by profession, a musicalian; technically a musical tap dancer, an artist not necessarily to his interests, but at least to the end of his career. His rhythm and his ingenuity make him a driver who can drive up and down a flight of stairs is endlessly delightful. "Yet the qualities Robinson possesses above all are the gusto, the joy, the passion, the delight that he puts into his work. The delight he gets from his work also in making it a thing of amuplified excellence. Certainly he must be supreme in his field. In his work, popular and canny, it is difficult to understand why he has not been placed in some reverse." THE opening sentence of what the gentleman had to say that we find good of "He" takes away from the sweetness of it all for if there is a performance known over the width and height of it, then it will be in Bill Robinson. Bill Robinson was known far and near long before he went out to do a single and many there are remaining who will recall the remarkable success of Company Robinson in high class vaudeville. Long before the coming of the Tolmine writer Robinson had garned name and fame in the world of the theater but the C.F.A. flag that he should be careful and date his stuff from the time he arrived and not try to go no far back unless he records A. E. GOWN, the popular little prince, took the spotlight away from a number of our performers in Europe, appearing in the ballet *The Nutcracker* and entertaining a bunch of beautiful Dancers and other people. They all wore their bathing suits and the picture to be seen in the southern town. According to a well-known bodifying灯 of the ballet (NXA), these women have in mind to perform *The Nutcracker*, one of the pictures would many a cracker out to kill the first colored person coming under their baleful glance. FOR the second time within the space of a month, a furore was created at one of our well-known plays when a hasty call was put in for help of the police officer after the protection necessary after a bunch of hard-working performers had failed to resolve many promises promised by the police officer, and they had every reason to feel the producer had in his hands. PASSING strange it is to us that so many of our producers banning the wealth skim to that of our leading millionaires are found wanting at certain periods in their existence. We imagine the man who would wildly promise the would be much better off, at least those with any redeeming qualities. Then, again, half the time the people in the blows are to be banned, so the impression for impaired dealing banning to certain producers whose only reason for existence come with the distressing stunts.

Mr. Cooper, as a Member of the Team of Cooper and Robinson, Won His Spurs Long Before He Repeated His Success With "How Come" and Other Productions. Billie Dove Rises to Screen Heights But It Took Beautiful Actress Five Years to Climb From "Bits" to Featured Class In less than five years Billie Dove has climbed from an obscure "bit" player to a position as one of the foremost actresses of the screen. The latest step in her rapid adancement was the signing of a long term contract with the First National, and her being selected for the featured feminine role in "The Tender Hour," the George Fitzmaurice production which is scheduled for the Douglas Theatre bestrating Saturday. Miss Dove was born in New York City and there received her education. Amateur dancing and amateur dramatics paved the way for her entrance onto the legitimate stage, where her exceptional beauty and personality was recognized immediately. On the advice of friends, however, she decided to seek her career in pictures instead of continuing on the stage and made her how to the screen in a small role in "Polly of the Follies," in support of Constance Telmadge. A number of leading roles followed, but it was Lois Weber who first sensed that Miss Dove, aside from her beauty, possessed great powers as an emotional actress. Her performance in "The Marriage Clause" attracted attention everywhere, and she signed her present contract with First National shortly after the completion of these pictures. Her featured part in "The Tender Hour" is possibly the richest role in dramatic values she has ever played on the screen. Based on the story by Carey Wilson and produced by John McCormick, the picture possesses a highly dramatic story, with the intriguing background of Paris and Russia.

It was a rollicking gathering that sat in at the Alhambra Theatre on Monday night to witness the performance of the "Troubadours" the production offering for the edifice of Harlem theatregoers a number of well-known and popular performers. Having prepared with unusual zeal for the week's work at the house, the management had everything in working order when the doors opened on Monday after noon and when the line started in the evening a warm welcome was accorded those renewing their faith in a house which has passed through adversity—insofar as colored people are concerned.

Various people have come to me asking for a position at the Alhambra theatre and it has been circulated about that I am interested in it and I would deem it a great favor if you in your column would advise that I have nothing to do with the theatre or the company that is to play there. I wish it a hundred per cent success, but should it be otherwise, I would not want any one looking to me. I am doing several shows.

He Didn't. That Smile Was BEFORE and Not AFTER Closing. Would Bar Africans From Using the Radio To Listen In You Need a License in the Promised Land of Marcus Garvey The London correspondent of The Amsterdam News has just released the information that an amendment to the South African radio act of 1826 has been proposed in an effort to curb the evasion of the regulation stating that all South African owners of receiving sets must have a license. The proposed amendment would make it obligatory that "any person who sells gives or in any manner whatever supplies any valve, loud-speaker or telephone receiver for radio to any person who is not a licensed listener under this act shall within seven days after such supply notify the Postmaster General thereof by written notice, setting out the name and address of the person so supplied." Which would lead us to believe that Great Britain is again restraining subjects in her African possessions from gluing information of what is going on in the outside world via the radio.

Herald Tribune This Great Show Has Moved to Shubert NATIONAL Theatre 41st St., West of Broadway MIDNITE SHOW THURSDAY Europeans Enjoy Special Concert Europeans Enjoy Special Concert Recital of Negro Songs and Character Sketches by Clara Alexander PARIS, France-A recital of Negro songs and character sketches was given recently by Miss Clara Alexander at the American Women's Club before a large gathering of club members and their guests. In introducing her songs; Miss Alexander stated that most people do not familiar with the plantation Negroes think that every song which mentions Biblical matters is a spiritual, but this is not true. The Negro in the small southern community, she said, heard the Bible stories more frequently than anything else, and so wove them into his songs quite naturally. However, the songs really written for religious purposes are of quite a different character. She illustrated her point with a song or each type. The program included several poems by the Negro poet, Paul Lawrence Dumbar, and some of Miss Alexander's own compositions. Among those who attended the festival and the tea, which was served in the garden afterward, were Mrs. Godfrey Lynch Cardoon, Mrs. George Huntington Williams, Dr. Augusta Williams, Dyos W. Carden, Mrs. Herbert Morgan, Mrs. H. P. Rowe, Mrs. William S. Swainport, Mrs. Frederic J. Parons, Mrs. Abby Hitchcock Bartlett and Miss Amy Grant. Mrs. Walter Nevil had with her Mme.

Secton "Lonesome Ladies" With Anna Nilsson at Roosevelt The Tragedy of Lonesome Ladies and Fast Stepping Husbands Anna Q. Nilsson dresses in one way before the cameras, and in quite a different way in private life. She keeps from three to six months in advance of the fashions when costuming for a picture, as she believes that it is the duty of a film actress to be, in a modest way, a fashion guide. And it takes several months for a picture to circulate around the theatres of the country. In private life she likes to disregard the currency of style more or less, and pay more attention to originality and to pleasing her own fancy. If the latest in gowns appeals to her taste, she may wear it, but quite often she will wear styles of her very own! One of the pictures for which she secured advance style designs is "Lonesome Ladies," a spicy and colorful comedy of domestic life, in which she is featured with Lewis Stone. This First National picture, produced by Joseph Hennberry, is to be presented at the Houserie Theatre Saturday. "Lonesome Ladies" also offers a great of beautiful costumes worn by the other feminine experts in uitzimules. Jane Winton brings forth new ideas in a gay widow's mourning, and Doris Lloyd, Fritzle Ridgeway, De Sacla Mooors and Grace Carlisle also wear stunning outfits.

The "Big Head" There's a dreadful disease known in the theatrical world as the "big head." Like pyorrhea, four out of every five performers have it. Take an ignorant out of a cotton field with a few dance steps and no brains and he is a perfect subject for this disease. Speak him on the bill some Plantation Night and let him get a "hand" and the next day you can't give him a letter from home. The minute he signs his first contract, providing he can write, he'll demand the best dressing room and his name out in electric lights. After becoming "a star" will he spend some of his money and spare time in polishing up mentally? Will he go to some captive instructor and humrate his dance routine? We should say not! He feels "too big" to take instruc- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 24, 1927 tips from anyone; in fact, what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing. With his patent leather head and dressed like a fashion plate, he may impress you—until he opens his mouth. Many a girl with a Rolls Royce figure, a Pierre Arrow face and a flayer brain has allowed the "big head" to ruin her career. A pristine donna with a voice as thin as a veil will tell you "she never associates with the chorus." Even a wardrobe mistress will stop speaking to "ordinary" people and will tell her friends that she is on the stage. When a performer with talent and intelligence has the best hairstyle seems to throw in the reverse clutch and leaves him skidding backwards. He is often worse than his mental inferior. If it is your ambition to become a truly great artist like Florence Miller or Bill Robinson, pray every night never to get the "big head." Producers may come and producers may go, but Leonard Harper goes on forever. There is a producer who is famous for his music and that the other fellows would do well to follow. He never seems to run short of ideas and is ever giving the public something worth while. Like wine, he improves with age.

When the Alhambra reopened on Monday afternoon another event took place at the house that few would be aware of but for the constant vigil kept by those in a position to help progress in Harlem, though small the share of such contribution to the fight for justice. Negro motion picture operators, who stuck with their white brothers during the recent fight staged here, were placed in the booth of the Alhambra Theatre, which opened under new management last Monday afternoon. This means another opportunity for the colored boys running the reels in our Harlem theatres. The sacrifices made when things looked black will continue to draw the rewards for faithfulness at a time when nothing was left undone to attempt to induce them to desert the union. Those who followed the empty promises of others seeking to win the Negroes from the union were forced out when victory came, and this is as it should be, for our operators have found, to their own satisfaction, that in union there is strength. We would not be surprised to see the Albumbra eventually becoming the medium through which another angle on unionism is brought to this section. Perhaps there will be another strike for right and justice, but the conditions will be more favorable if such a condition is forced upon the union. if they work at all, must work for almost nothing, and can't even 'get up when it's due. Therefore he has to return old profession and intends to stick to it until things pick up again. The Footlights Club was recently redecorated and put into first-class shape. Everything possible has been done to add to the comfort and pleasure they say the meals there are 'too bad'. Aubrey Lyles, famous laughmaker, wants the world to know that his 'Hang Tang' baseball club, made up of members in the last, defeated the 'African ball club' in claims the 'African ball' did not show up to play, as arranged, and automatically forfeited the game.

Meetings Managers, to All Chicago Pythians Dedicate Million Dollar Temple After Parade in Rain Harmony Reigns at Great Convention - Progress Shown in All States—Big Surplus CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 23 (By the Associated Negro Press)—Threatening weather with intermittent spells of light rain marred the picturesque parade of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythians of N. & S.A.E.A.A. & A. to the extent of occasioning some defections on the part of more conservative members, especially in the female contingent. In spite of this, there were more than five thousand Knights in line The convention sessions were marked by intensive application to the business at hand, with very little evidence of acrimony such as has sometimes characterized the assembly of so large an organization. The actual business was in the hands of thirteen officers and 104 voting members of the supreme body. They represented 2,670 lodges, with 197,000 members, and 3,604 courts, having a membership of 68,000 women. The organization has $2,297,121 assets with a surplus of $1,564,742, indicating an excellent financial condition, according to figures from the books of C. E. Mitchell, the Charleston, W. Va., banker, who is chairman of the finance committee, and verified by Auditor McDonald of New Orleans, a certified public accountant. Perhaps the high spot of the convention was the annual address of the supreme chancellor, in which a policy was laid down for the completion of the national building at Thirty-seventh and State streets.

In this instance, however, it was not the sign of the Ku Klux Klan or any other "America First" organization, but represented the emblem of the Independent Order of St. Luke, which celebrated its sixtieth anniversary and held its fifth biennial session here during the week. Two thousand or more men and women gathered here to attend the convention and at the same time to pay homage to Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, the secretary-treasurer, who has served the organization as the directing head for more than thirty years. During this period she has merited the praise and confidence of the 100,000 members, scattered over twenty-two states, by developing the order, which had assets aggregating $31.40 thirty years ago, to the present status when the organization boasts of actual assets totaling more than two million dollars. The sessions were held at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, which was founded, organized and pastored by the late Dr. John Jasper, who gained fame by his declaration that "the sun do move." Delegates from twenty-two states answered the roll call on Tuesday morning, when the convention proper was called to order by the Right Worthy Grand Chief, Mrs. Sarah A. Clark, New York City.

The executive sessions of the order were held in Forum Hall and the D. O. K. A., an appendant order similar to the Shriners, met in Fort Dearborn Elks' Hall. The women's branch held its session at Community Church on South Park boulevard. The uniform rank, 6,000 strong, was encamped for the week on a South State street grounds, where military discipline prevailed.

While the reports from the field were of much interest to all, the outstanding feature and that which most delegates were interested in was the biennial report of the Right Worthy Grand Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker. In rendering her report Mrs. Walker outlined the history of the organization and heaped encomiums upon the late Mary Prout, who founded the order. According to the report, during the past two years the organization has increased its membership by some twenty thousand, has paid 2,250 death claims, which aggregated more than $210,000, and has increased the assets to more than $2,000,000. These figures indicated the growth of the past but Mrs. Walker had a "few things in mind for the future." One of these "things," which was suggested and also adopted, was the establishment of an Educational Loan Fund, through which deserving young men and woman might borrow from $300 to $500 to help them in their struggle for an education. Another of those "things" which she has had in the back of her head was a program to encourage members, both juvenile and adult, to "save money." "Have a bank account," urged Mrs. Walker, who holds the reputation of being the first woman in the United States to be president of a bank. The convention closed Thursday afternoon, when the national officiers were installed. Mrs. Maggia, Walker was re-lected secretary, treasurer of the organization, Mrs. Elizabeth White, Washington, D.C. right worthy grand chief, and Joshua Monroe, New Haven, Conn. right worthy grand vice-chief, were elected. Woman really have the "upper hand" in this organization and are handling it with evident efficiency and effectiveness. on Hand. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. AUG. 24. 1927 Sidelights on the Elks' Convention Sidelights on the Elks' Convention BY CHARLES T. MAGILL A meeting of the grand lodge, district, special, state and traveling deputies and the associate and assistant grand organizers was held Monday night at the convention headquarters. The meeting, called by the grand organizer, C. C. Valle, was presided over by him. Interesting reports were read from the various districts and showed that excellent work in the way of advancing the order has been made the past year. One of the outstanding features of the convention parade was the showing made by the Nurses' Unit of Eureka Temple. The ladies gave evidence of having carefully prepared for the big event. Gov. Alfred Smith lost another chance to show his gratitude to those Negroes of Greater New York who, as Dr. Oliver claims, are proud to be known as Democrats and hope to send Governor Al to the White House, by not reviewing the parade Tuesday or at least having a representative there. Incidentally, there was no city representative at the official reviewing stand, though the rain might have accounted for that. The official circular sent out by the grand marshal of the parade specifically prohibited maneuvering at the reviewing stand. Yet several lodges, particularly the temples, began to do their stuff when they were passing the official reviewing stand. An unusually stout daughter, marching with the Harriett Tubman Temple of Utica, was bravely wending her way up the avenue, despite her size and the rain. The drill team of Manhattan Temple presented a pretty spectacle in the parade. A novelty by that temple was the pushing of a baby in a carriage highly decorated. The courtesy of marching at the head of O. V. Catto Lodge of Philadelphia, the lodge from which Judge Edward H. Henry. Philadelphia's candidate for exalted ruler, comes, was accorded to J. Dalmus Steele, New York's candidate for the coveted head of the order. Likewise, Judge Henry was given the courtesy of marching at the head of Manhattan Lodge, Steele's home lodge. Andrew T. Mitchell, exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge, showed his complete satisfaction to be marching at the head of Manhattan Island's silk stocking lodge by the broad smile and the jaunty manner in which he held his brand new straw hat while passing the grandstand on Fifth avenue. Resplendent in top hat and cutaway suits, Imperial's big three, Thomas H. Brown, the exalted ruler; Jerome P. Ottley, and Alderman Henri W. Shields led Imperial Lodge all the way during the parade. When Imperial's band reached the official reviewing stand, they stopped and played "My Country 'Tis of Thee," compelling the drenched individuals on the stand to arise. The horses upon which Dave McDaniels and Billy Pierce were riding were both frisky. At one time we had our doubts whether those two veterans would be able to make it to the end of the line, but they succeeded. Monday night, led by Manhattan Lodge band, a torchlight parade in the interest of J. Dalmus Steele was held through the main streets of Harlem. Loud cheers greeted the genial New Yorker everywhere. Additional Virginia delegates registered, all from Williams Lodge, No. 11, are: John B. Neubelt, exalted ruler; J. A. Jones, secretary; P. B. Williams, Thomas Reid, Clarence Smith and Aubrey B. Jones, M. A. Norrell, Richmond's favorite son, is chairman of the delegation. Some of the ladies who attended the tea given under the direction of Mme. Fanny Grey last Sunday afternoon were: Mrs. I. Bettles and Hattle Wheeler, Pennsylvania; Florence Spencer and Gerrude Waters and Sadie Carter, Philadelphia; Dr. Ellen Castor, Atlantic City; Lizzie Carter, Annapolis, Md.; Hattle Hutchins, Boston; C. Ella Moore, Wilkes-Barre; Augusta Handsome, Staten Island; Virginia McIntyre, Mattle Williams, Lonora Harris and Violet Colman, New York, and G. M. Burke, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Ella G, Berry, the grand daughter ruler, and her staff were the guests of honor, together with Mrs. Laura Williams, the past grand daughter ruler. The Police Department said that they had more than fifty complaints over the faulty hanging of the American flag and the using of the flag for decoration, against the law. The flag, explained the police, must not be covered with anything when displayed One of the peculiar things of this convention is the large number of white people who have obtained concessions to do business strictly among Negroes. Mother Zion Church Services at Mother Zion Church were largely attended last Sunday. Dr. J. W. Brown was the preacher. His sermon subject was "Two Epochs in a Great Man's Life." A special musical number was rendered by Miss Alice Fraser. At the close of the service five persons united with the church. Junior Church Services were conducted in the room room at 10:30. Church School was largely attended at 2 o'clock. At 8 p.m. the opening session of the twenty-eighth session of the Grand Lodge of the l. B. P. O. E. of W. was held. The annual sermon was preached by Dr. William G. Avant, the grand chaplain. Among the visitors present were Mrs. G. C. Clement, wife of Bishop Clement of Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. R. J. Jeffries of Boston and New Rev. J. S. McKinney, the stork; Ida Saxon, Jewish Hospital; Lucille Burleigh, Women's Hospital; Norman Evans, 239 West 135th street. St. Mark's M. E. Church At the morning services on Sunday, the Rev. Richard Bolden preached from the ninety-first Psalm, using for his theme "The Wings of God." Numbered among the congregation were many out-of-town visitors. The Rev. John W. Robinson, the pastor, was present, having returned from his vacation before the expiration of his time. He will resume charge of the pulpit next Sunday. Dr. Samuel Johnson, principal of the State Reformatory School for Boys in Columbia, S. C., preached at the evening services. Rush Memorial The Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs, presiding elder of the Brooklyn branch of the A. M. E. Church, preached at the morning service of Rush Memorial Church last Sunday. The Rev. P. A. Price of the Mother Zlon A. M. E. Zlon Church and his Praying Band were in charge of the afternoon service. The speaker for the evening was the Rev. Albert Johnson of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn. To Lay Third Cornerstone The Union Baptist Church plans to lay their third cornerstone Sunday, September 4, at 3.30 p. m. This was the first colored Baptist church to lay a cornerstone in New York City. Nineteen hundred and one the building at 202 West Sixth street was erected. Nineteen hundred and four the cornerstone was laid for the building in which the church is located. Last year this church purchased property at 240-252 West 145th street. This property is now being remodeled at a cost of about $125,000. The entire building will be completed by November. Under the capable leadership of the Rev. George H. Sims, who has pastored this congregation for over eleven years, the church has shown great advancement. Rev Sims laid the first cornerstone in 1901. Since then the church has made rapid progress in all lines of endeavor. The officers and members of the Union Baptist Church ask all friends to march with them Sunday, September 4, 2 p. m., from the Metropolitan Baptist Church along Seventh avenue to 240 West 145th street, where they will lay their third cornerstone—Advt.

He has not yet served out quite half of his sentence. The charge under which he was tried and convicted was that of violating the postal laws of the United States. If Mr. Garvey had sinned against the law, he should be suitably amused under the law. Where legal technicalities are involved in social propaganda it produces a complicated situation. Gandhi in India said to the trial judge, "Although I could not do otherwise than I did in furtherance of my cause, yet I recognize that you must send me to prison in discharge of your duty." Eugene Debe is incarcerated for conscience sake; he was paroled or pardoned by the president, although he never recanted one word or receded one inch from his accepted doctrine. Thousands of patriotic and loyal American citizens who despise the doctrine which Sacco and Vanzetti espouse and loathe the crime whereof they are accused are indefenseless zealous in their endeavors to harm them given a secure deal before the bar of public opinion. They believe that these culpits are condemned for their doctrine rather than for their imputed crime. It is a dangerous principle to impose legal punishment upon men for their belief rather than for their behavior. The trick is as old as political cunning and chicery. Acuse the advocate of detested doctrine or some violation of the law and impose upon the man an imprisonment, banishment or death; thus society rids itself of the agitator and his agitation by due process of law. Did they not treat Socrates, Jesus, and John Brown so? I recall a symposium in the Messenger several years ago upon the question whether or not Marcus Garvey should be deported. The Negro intelligent- by the brilliant editors of the Messenger, generally of the feeling that he ought to be banished from this country. I took, then, as I take now, the opposite view. How the Negro could advocate condemn punishment of any one for opinions sake surpasses my comprehension. William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and Frederick Longglass would have been made short shift of in the South because they advocated doctrines at vital variance with the more provincial feeling and belief. But is this from the normal departure from the normal standards of that day that the Negro owes his freedom and opportunity. Of all men, I could not and cannot see how the editors of the Messenger would or could be illiberal to anyone because of his doctrine. They are the expositors of a political and social gospel which many deem dangerous. These apostles of the new way for the new Negro were methodized from their editorial manual and placed in front line of battle in a foreign war mainly as many of them were promulgating a pernicious propaganda. This was an instance of inconsistency carried to the grit degree. But back to Garvey. Whatever offense he committed against the law, it was not a part of his proclamation. I have consulted persons who were at times his intimate associates but who have since become his bitter opponents as to plans of procedure. They tell me that there is nowhere the slightest intimation that he ever had any deliberate purpose to violate the law or that he ever diverted one fraction of a cent of the illegal returns to his own pecuniary advantage. The public was universally interested in his irreligious and conviction Way? Not because of Pen Pointers By Clifford L. Miller. Elphemeris is the art of doctoring the reader oil of your ideas so savvy that your listeners will swallow all you offer and ask for more. A pen is superior to a pen because it has an eraser. High hats in plush seats listening to a comfortable gospel will not save the world. his technical violation of the postal regulations, but by reason of his propaganda. It is claimed that many of the Negro intelligencia furnished information to the government leading to his conviction. Such reprehensible procedure carries with it its own reward or its own condemnation. If this had been done out of a conviction of the unrighteousness of the act in itself and was prompted by the patriotic impulse, uphold the integrity of the law, it would have been commendable. But to help send out some ostensibly on a technical legal charge (which because his propaganda diffused from theirs is of the same order of meanness as if I should spy out some violation of traffic regulations and have my opponent put in jail because he does not agree with me on the Eighteenth Amendment. The Garvey movement will THE EDITOR DEAN KELLY MILLER. move or cease to move according to its inherent merit. If there is any better way, let it so appear. Truth can well afford to contend with error without taking sinister advantage. The Negro race should join in one united petition for the pardon of Marcus Garvey. Our newspapers should open their columns for signatures to the monster petition. Those who had any part in his imprisonment should be the most zealous in seeking his response. The majority of the law has been vindicated. Two and a half years of imprisonment will impress this lesson as effectively as five. No further purpose can be served by his continued incarceration. The future of the Garvey propaganda is entirely problematical. His magnetic personality will probably be more effective in than out of prison. The only effect that further imprisonment can have is that it may seriously impair his health and render his future conduct less strenuous and his influence less dynamic. But he government that pardoned Debs, the unreconciled radical, on grounds of health, certainly could not with moral consistency insist on keeping Garvey in his prison the purpose of bread in his health the purpose of imprisonment of the head of the Garvey Movement will but serve to emphasize his martyrdom in the eyes of his devoted followers. This will certainly not answer the aim of those who believe that his propaganda is evil and ought to be stamped out. Aside from disputed merits of the Garvey Movement, it must be conceded that he has begotten for himself an intensity of discipleship which has no parallel among Negroes in this country. When the shepherd is smitten the sheep are usually scattered abroad. But Garvey still directs the faithful from his prison house in Atlanta. At the time of the death of Frederick Douglass, he was trustee of Howard University. The University canvassed the country to endow a scholarship in his honor; but out of his millions of admirers only a few thousand dollars could be raised. Read the sad story of the Douglass Home, which some have vainly tried to make the Mecca of the race. But like the path of wisdom, the road that leads to the home of the sage of Anacostin has but now and then a traveler. Booker Washington's fame money. And yet they say it never satisfies. The satisfaction seems to be in the making of it. 'Tis nature of a natural born kicker to kick. But you do not have to plant yourself right behind his destroying thunder.

Thompson, Business Mgr. 17 MADISON AVENUE—NEW YORK CITY "A magazine which should be followed by all who are intellectually curious and interested in America's cultural advance.7—Boston Transcript. "Redemption of Africa Is Close to the Negro Heart" filled the race and the world more completely than any other colored man before or since his day, except for the brief brilliance of Marcus Garvey. And yet today Booker Washington has few apostles and fewer disciples. I remember the disgusting lukewarmness of many of his camp followers here in Washington whom he had raised to positions of power and preferment, when, immediately after his death, it was proposed to raise an endowment of half a million dollars in honor of his memory. Some of these courtesans did not contribute either then or later to the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment one percent of the largest which came to them through Mr. Washington's influence. It is not so with Marcus Garvey and his followers. Thousands of his followers are ready to follow him, not only to prison, but to death and even beyond the grave, if need requires. The deep seated reason for this devotion is the fact that Mr. Marvay appealed to him lince: springs of motive which had not been touched before. In the first place, he stoutly refused to bow down and worship at the shrine of white idolatry. If he seemed to apotheosize blackness, it was merely as an antidote to the prevalent apotheosis of whiteness. He filled his followers with the feeling that they need not take on the superficial aspect of the Caucasian race in order to assert and exert the highest powers and faculties of human nature. They were inspired with the thought that they need not apologize for their race and color as the whole trend of tradition had taught them to do. He repudiated utterly the racial inferiority compounded by muster, according to Carver, muster, muster claims of human nature in his own sensual blance, and not merely as a carbon copy of the white race. He thus engendered a race consciousness and a sense of race self-respect which constitute his chief contribution to the Negro branch of the human family. In the second place, Mr. Garvey dramatized the propaganda of the redemption of Africa. This feeling lies deeply imbedded in the Negro soul, Mr. Garvey awakened it, it, if for a moment, into life and power. Ever and anon some Negro statesman or misguided fanatic elicits hectic response by an appeal to this dormant passion for repatriation. I recall Dr. Blyden. Bishop Turner, General Sams, Dr. Dubois, and Marcus, all playing in diverse tones on the same African harp. All such attempts so far have been futile, but the deep seated feeling ablides. As the Jew in his soul longs for his native Zion, so the Negro by blind, half conscious feeling, longs for his own vine and fig tree under the sunny skies of his motherland. Some day the Negro statesman may rise with wisdom and power to translate this feeling into thought and then the thought into action. It does not appear that any one of the listed names represents him that should come, but we are still looking for another. Marcus Garvey is the greatest prophet of African 'redemption that has yet arisen. But the task essayed is at present not only beyond the reach of available means of realization but all but beyond the stretch of the imagination. Before this reaches the light of print, the four Pan-African Congress under sponsorship of Mrs. Hunton and inspiration of Du Bois will be under way. I trust that the first act of this congress will be to send a request to President Coolidge for the pardon of Garvey. All are aiming at the same objective. If all attempts fail it, will not be from the lack of good intentions but rather because of the utter inadequacy of the instrumentalities at their disposal. It is like attempting to turn over the Rocky Mountains with a crowbar. We lack both the point of application and the fulcrum, but try we must, and this is what Marcus Garvey and the rest are doing.

THE twenty-eighth Grand Lodge session of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World is now in progress. Great show and demonstration of solidarity have been made; thousands of men and women, belonging to or in sympathy with the lodges and the temples, have journeyed from distant points of the United States and other lands to attend the sessions or to gaze upon the wonderful spectacle. Never in the history of the race has so splendid and magnificent pageantry marked a reunion of its members. Starting in the year 1899, with less than a dozen lodges and no temples upon its rolls, it today numbers over seven hundred lodges in the membership of the Grand Lodge. Its first initiation involved less than twenty members and applicants, twenty-eight years ago. Its membership is now more than a quarter of a million. Starting out with the forty exterior members, the skin of its actual and potential members, it now has to its credit more than two millions; of dollars in real and personal property. At the establishment of the first lodge those who sought membership in its fold did so at the expense of their personal reputations. The educated and instructed persons of the race marked out this new organization as being fit only for the membership of thieves and other rogues. The aristocratic of those days as "plumps" organization and those who did not wish to disturb their social position were loath to join its ranks. As is usual in all colored organizations, ten years only had passed when the inevitable disturbances which are the bane of the race developed among the members of the new order. The paltry pennies which had been used to pay the cooks and purses of the few and poverty-striken members were spent in court litigation; the white Americans, who had never relished the existence of the new order, were quick to pounce upon this fraternal weakling with court injunctions and other legal but highly questionable restraints: dissension grew and the police which had been achieved, and finally there was a split in the ranks of the order. The statemanship of the race was brought into question and for the first time in the history of the race the stronger and more sober minds prevailed and peace was restored to the ranks of the struggling organization by a reunion of the two factions. selves, each district receiving aid in proportion to the extent of its loss not covered by insurance. 1.

(Answers on Editorial Page) MAGAZINE PAGE The Transportation Lines Should Not Be the Only Beneficiaries trappings and other decorations which are useless to the members of the convention the day after the closing of the sessions. The railroad companies, the steamship companies, the companies which decorate the convention and encourage the convention city, together with the owners of stores, which sell or credit merchandise, are those who actually gain from these yearly sessions. The Negro gains nothing but mental satisfaction which comes from marching and hearing music; the order itself gains as a whole in popularity, but this does not require some derivable substantial benefit. Some should follow these reunions. The history of white society illustrates the evolution which the social ideas of that race have undergone. Starting its world career with the love for great military show and demonstration, in which soldiers appeased the inward stirrings of the white masses by staging great demonstrations through the streets of city-states, the leaders of this great people realized that this flind of effort was a total waste. As a result, those demonstrations were curtailed from time to time, and the nation's time and time even such recent punish shows as the inaugural halls, which are held every four years at the nation's capital, have grown less and less splendid, so that today they are seriously contemplating their offlimitation. The Fourth of July was at one time the signal for all sorts of public demonstrations, but they also have been reduced to only a fragment of their former glory. States and municipalities have passed laws restraining certain sorts of hilarity on the nation's birthday. The sale of clichés and rights, which have been placed in control of certain officials of those states and municipalities, and the danger of injury has been lessened. Even the fighting and turbulent Irish have reduced the festivities of the birthday of their patron saint to almost no show and demonstration, and the old noises of twenty years ago are no more. All this was effected by the white race in an attempt to direct the minds of the common white masses to more lasting and more exciting. This they have done and this the leaders of the Elks should attempt to do. When this fact is brought to the attention of the leaders of the Elks they declare that the general membership would fall off if these yearly spectacles were eliminated from the general activities. This may be true, but it would appear that with the proper use of method and judgment they could be eliminated. This rise of the Elks has been one of the most astounding acts the Black Nose race; they forced the Elks to Negro race to fall into line, so that today such men as Dr. DuBois have entered the ranks of its membership. This is truly a remarkable effort in solidarity. me and also seemed very jealous of me. After a few months of married life I caught him in a number of lifes. His mother also exposed him in a very grave offense, and he will continue to sneak out and visit the home of a questionable character which I have repeatedly asked him not to do. He has promised he would not do this but since then I have gone to the same house and caught him there. Do you believe his jealous pretence was just to hide his own dirt, and kindly ask whether you think it best to remain with him or get a complete divorce as I will never believe or trust him again as long as I live. Respectfully, MACK. Dear Mack: One of the most essential things in married life is trust. When that's shattered, there's no happiness, and what is the sense of living with somebody who is making you miserable? If he cared for you he would respect your feeling and not go to places where you had expressly naked him not to go. His jealous pretense is both to hide his own dirt by making you believe he loves you and by taking your attention from him to yourself. It is the result of his low mind which makes him believe that everyone is evil like himself. Thank heavens, you haven't cried "Please don't ask me to give him up because I love him." I would feel that my advice is in vain. Since his own mother exposed him in a serious case, you could possibly have her as a witness. In the meantime, get all the man can of his sincerity so that you'll have ground for your divorce. By EDGAR M. GREY But all struggles must leave their scars, however slight. And so, all through the twenty years which have elapsed, the progress of this order has been retarded by obstacles within and without. For about fifteen years of this time the membership of the order was still confined to those whose claim to general and high regard was tenuous, it still had to challenge the attention of the more sophisticated of the group. Then came the time, and like true sports they forgave the slurs which had been heaped up on the order by the highbrows and elected one of them to the highest position within the gift of the order—the Grand Exalted Rutership. This was the turning point. The highbrows realized at once Edgar M. Grey that this was a great opportunity for service and for self-aggrandi- zement, and they flocked to the banners of the I. B. P. O. E. W. without further hesitancy. For the next five years the order was used as a political bellwether for those who sought to rise politically. Then came the new progress; a man from the sidewalks was elected to the first office of the order. Under his leadership the order grew and propropered. The Negro found pride in declaring: "I am an Elk," and the membership of the order grew by leaps and bounds. The Order of Elks stands out today as the dominant "and at the same time the most useful of Negro organizations. But, like all other Negro institutions of its kind, the Elks have an essential elements and requirements of true constructive progress. These thousands of Negroes, united into one common bond of strength and solidarity, could, with the proper guidance, effect marvelous changes for good in the political and economic condition of the race. It could by its numbers serve to bring rights to the members of the group which are denied them; it could function in national elections so as to influence the various administrations at Washington for the good of the race; it could be used in the South for the members of the race who reside. in those areas. But the leadership of the organization is still in poor and weak hands. For this and other reasons it is still the football of Negro fraternal politicians; it is still the reservoir through which the earnings of the race continue in the populace of white man. Most of the money which is spent at these yearly conventions is spent to procure When Your Trust Is Gone What do you think of the man who preaches about the truth and at the same time is a liar himself? If you were his wife; would you remain with him after you had caught him in several lies which were grave enough to shake your trust in him for life?

Very He has a ready excuse, a plausible-sounding alibl for everything. He'll make a fool out of you; he'll cause many a sleepless night; he'll make you doubt all mankind. Is he jealous? He is. Not because he's so much in love with you but because he's wild about himself and because his mind is so low and gross that it imagines evil in everything. He's jealous if he thinks the world doesn't regard him as your superior, your master, your lord, and you as his worshipper.

Then it occurred to her that he might be a criminal, hiding from the police whose name he seemed likely, for this a good place to hide, and as it was so far from the cities it was not likely to contain anyone who knew the real Hannibal Thorne. Certainly this man, with his cool way of talking to her and with the desperation she had seen in his face on the beach, was canvable of anything.

Legs Trophees (The Trophies) is a volume of poems made up of one hundred and eighteen sonnets. Its subject illustrates once more the perennial attraction of the distant time and space for the poet whose ideal can only be satisfied if he can reconcile the religion of form with the scruple of reality. The blameless mould in which most of this poetry is cast confirms Botellau's possibly thoughtless eulogy of the sonnet. Each sonnet is microcosmic; the art and the life (particularly the familiar life) of ancient Greece and Italy; of France in the Middle Ages and at the Renaissance, of Spain and modern Brittany and Japan have passed through the machine of an imagination almost scientific in its demand; for precision, but human in its very impurtiability.

If not something worse. And she would have to talk to him; he had saved her from drowning. If detectives trucked him to his hiding place she would become known as the young woman he was found with, and the New York gossips would say, "So that's what he spread for the summer." The situation bristled with impliant possibilities. "Well," she concluded, "I'll just treat him as if I thought he was Mr. Thorne." At the thought of the name Thorne she had an inspiration. What a chance this was to make the real Hannibal Thorne's accountant! She had only to write him a letter and tell him that a man was impersonating him at a scavenge resort. In due season she would follow the letter to Philadelphia, secure an interview with Hannibal Thorne, and trust to her charms for the rest. But, she remembered, the impostor had just saved her life. Oh, what a tangle! After all, she mused as she powdered her face before the flawed old mirror, the impostor was interesting. His talk was a stimulus, it roused in her a joyous desire for combat. She felt the urge to fight him, conquer him, crush him, make him take back all he had said to her and about her, to make him feel forever inferior. Heretofore the young men she had known were not her match, they were defeated too easily; but here was someone to give her the best of real fight. Crooked or not, he had power and audacity. Hadn't he said that she had beauty without class? Well, she tingled to show him—if the police didn't get him first.

(Continued tomorrow) of his school; a hardness of culture which implies sometimes a misconception of the material, an exaggerated economy which tends to sweat the life out of a word, the frigidity which results in a proportionate effort to reconstruct the externals of existence. Heredia was the most talented disciple of Leconte de Lisile and one of the greatest masters of the French sonnet. His sonnets are the supreme result of the cultivation of form that the French will admire, very pictureque and a superb inky poetry can be. His poemssemble Gautier's in polish. They show the reticences of the conscious artist and a vague suggestion of the subjective. Heredia was the most condensed, plastic, and precise stylist of modern France. His poems are rich in suggestions of color and melody; incomparable in the union of sonorousness and compression. His subjects reflect in the main the scenes and traditions of his youth at Havana rather than the scenes of his into studies at the Ecole des Chaires. The heroic epoch of Spanish quest was his most imaspiring theme, and he used it also in his sole pleaon pro romance Laonne Alferez (1834), and in a translation of Bernal Diag's Chronicle. But he is often superb in merely exotic description, as in the brilliancy of Recif de Corail or the splendor of Blason Celeste. Heredia was elected a member of the French Academy February 22, 1894. Few purely literary men can have entered the Academy with credentials so small in quantity. Born in Cuba, the son of French and Spanish parents, he could not do without the sun; he had in his veins the blood of a companion of Cortez, and never altogether lost in a peace under alienation in a sky the teacher of his mixed ancestors for all that is rich and splendid in sight or sound. He was a scholar, and could not escape from the scholar's ambition to re-create once more the life of Greece and Rome. Mr. Edmund Gosso says that "beyond all question Heredia is a great poetic artist and probably the most remarkable now alive in Europe." Each of his poems represent a picture, striking, brilliant, drawn with unfaltering hand. The pictures of some are characteristic in many languids of the arsenal in flames polished like a gem, and its sound has distinction and fine harmony. In 1901 he became librarian of the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal at Paris. Heredia's poems are exceedingly fresh. They remind one of a flower bathed in dew. They are immaculate in purity, sincerity, perfection. They seem to be not a creation of human imagination and effort, but natural organisms born as an entity. Heredia composed in his old age, and the older he became, the deeper and more spiritual were his poems, and the more harmonious strength vibrated through their tender fabric. For the reader's benefit I select the first poem in his volume. On headland's height the temples lie. Where Death has intermixed bronze heroes slain With marble Goddesses whose glory valn The lonely grass enshrouds with many a sligh. Only at times a herdsman, driving by His desire for drink, piping antique refrain That floods the heavens to the very main. Shows his dark form against the boundless sky. Sweet Mother Earth, all vainly glorious. Each springtime to the Gods acanthus green Gives for the capitals that once have been; But man, to old-thue dreams indifferent. Hears without tremor, in the midnight deep. The ocean moaning as the sirens weep. He died at the Chateau de Bourdonne (Sexlene-et-Olsne), October 3, 1905.

Such a concern is not, in my mind, a mere business venture, but a real economic necessity. In Harlem, as in all pioneer urban centers, there is a lack of economic organization. The story of success and fortunes in Harlem real estate is well known. The immigration of Negroes into large urban centers after the war created a tremendous demand for housing. In New York the Negro population more than doubled in a decade, causing an unheard of increase in rents. I know of an instance where two apartments in the same house on the same floor rented for forty dollars and seventy-five dollars respectively, the former being tenanted by people who had lived there for a number of years, the latter by new tenants. While such conditions existed, the owners of property were not only well fortified against loss, but earned large profits. and Mr. and Mrs. Casper Thorne, 580 St. Nicholas avenue. Mrs. Pluckney Dawkins of Knoxville, Tenn., is the guest of Mrs. M. Johnson, 201 West 127th street, and Mrs. George W. Glover, 672 St. Nicholas avenue. House guests of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Glover, 672 St. Nicholas avenue, include Mrs. Thatcher and Mrs. Norene Davis, Kansas City, Kan., and Mr. and Mrs. M. Cuse, Cleveland. Mr. and Mrs. Mercer Morse of West 142d street entertained for three days their nephew. Dr. Herman G. Tompkins of Baltimore, who is leaving in September to at- The swing started in the opposite direction about the end of 1924. New districts were opened to Negroes and they soon began to take advantage of them until they spread from 125th street down to 111th street, and from 145th street up to 155th street. The result of such shift in the population has been to vitally affect the value of property. It has fallen, not to the level before the war, but below that of three years back. This fall in value has resulted in the loss of many a man's hard earned and saved money, for a parcel of property cannot be mortgaged for the same amount originally mortgaged for if the value of the property has fallen, especially if the value is calculated mainly on the rental from apartments. A mortgage company in Harlem would tend to stabilize property values. Such a company organized by those who understand the peculiarities of real estate conditions in this community would be certain that properties were mortgaged for the proper amount and would earn its money not out of bonuses—an eating cancer to all businesses—but out of proper management of the placed mortgages, by helping the landlords to help themselves. Such a concern would soon become the most important business in the community, for it would be the stabilizing factor in the biggest business we have. It would create a feeling of security among the scrupulous operators, for they would know that any reasonable proposition advanced would not be turned down. In addition, it would eliminate the unscrubulous operators, since they would soon find it difficult to secure a loan on property by offering bonuses. The mortgage tend also to stamp out the home on sale. Every community has its economic problems. It seems to me that the disorganized state of our property is the most pressing. If we right this, we immediately create new demands for other ventures; a mortgage company will go a long way in correcting our economic forces. (Continued from Page 7.) Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E.

Wednesday, August 24, 1927 Pullman Company Refusal to Mediate THE PULLMAN COMPANY persists in its refusal to recognize the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The majority of the porters belong to it, the United States Board of Media recognizes it. Mr. Edwin P. More of the Board of Mediation called up both parties in the dispute to mediate their differences and, in case media should fail, to submit the matter to Board of Arbitration. The Brotherhood agreed; the Pullman Company refuses. THE COMPANY takes the ground that there is nothing to mediate or attrate; that it will not deal with persons calling themselves a Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; that all quests at issue between the company and employees were settled last year through the Employee Representative Plan or Company Union, which, the company says, was voted for by per cent of the employees; and that has a contract with these employees through that plan. THE BROTHERHOOD maintains that contract was obtained unfairly by coercion and intimidation, and therefore invalid; that the Emplee Representation Plan has no standing because it was organized is controlled, not by the employees, by the company; that this plan or contract, even if valid, has a clause providing for a change in the contract after giving thirty days' notice; that a majority of the porters are members of the Brotherhood. HERE there is a direct clash in a question of fact. Each side claims that it has a majority of the porters. But, as the Brotherhood rightly tends, a man's name on a roll means nothing if he did not put it there voluntarily.

But, as the Brotherhood rightly contends, a man's name on a roll means nothing if he did not put it there voluntarily. The conditions, being what they but God and I knows what is in my heart." A shrew minister remarked to his congregation some time ago that he studied the black people more than he did his Bible because he understood the fundamentals of the Bible and that it never changed, but that the sable Americans were never understood, and that they changed every day. These changes are not surprising, they are evolutionary and they will come upon us more rapidly than the other races because we are living in a civilization in which they are the finished products. We are catching up. We are not understood because we are isolated, segregated and looperized. We have been forced through tyranny and have been forced to resort to chicane, trickery and misery. Where great numbers of us are overbearing communities we are led to play clowns and slaves in order to survive, and where there is less difficulty as in the North we are severely let alone unless something of a political nature arises. If the American white man really knew how the new generation of black people, and many of the old, who have undergone a complete metamorph EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES WHAT ARE WE THINKING? (From Chicago Whtp.) A patent lawyer recently placed a small advertisement in this newspaper advertising service in securing patents, trademarks and copyrights and when he received a flood of letters from the black people of the country seeking advice on those subjects he was dumbfounded. "I never thought that colored people were interested in those kind of things," said he. We are interested in a whole lot of things that the white man does not give credit for; in fact, the psychiatrist, American black man is almost entirely unknown to the white brother. Whenever white people mention Southerners, exclaim that they know and understand us it is time for us to laugh in our sleeves. Like the Arabs in the "Garden of Allah" that Robert Hitchens wrote about, "Nobody EDITORIAL PAGE were, with a powerful corporation against the individual porter, were enough to rouse suspicion of coercion. Many of these same men must have signed up later with the Brotherhood, otherwise it would not have a majority. THE GENERAL PUBLIC cannot fail to sympathize with the Brotherhood in its fight for better working conditions. For years the Pullman Company, while rolling up its snug dividends, has forced its porters to collect the greater part of their wages from the public in tips and has given them working hours that would undermine any constitution. The additional wages that would give the porter fair compensation go into the pockets of the company. The public has come to realize that the real receiver of their tips is the Pullman Company. There is an old saying among railroad conductors: "Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, but his son enslaved them again." The Pan-African Congress THE PROCEEDINGS of the Pan-African Congress should be closely followed by all students of racial phenomena. With delegates from all countries having an African population, they reveal that the problems and needs of the Negro the world over are substantially the same. In South Africa and Georgia, in Haiti and New York, in Timbuktu and Tennessee, we find similar histories and similar conditions. The Negro is more oppressed in some places than in others, but in all places he is held down, in all places he is exploited, in all places his blood is made a lubricant for the chariot wheels of other races. IT IS EASY to say, as many do, that we should meet our own problems in America and let our foreign brothers alone; that such congresses are futile and visionary. But there is no reason why we cannot work out our own destiny and still confer with our brothers; our brothers, indeed, may have much to teach us. Certainly the vision of a world-wide Negro federation is no more chimerical than that of the poet Tennyson, who, seventy or eighty years ago, prophesied battles in the air. Twenty years ago Dr. W. E. B. DuBois was called a dreamer by our matter-of-fact school, but many of the things he fought for have come to pass, among them the Pan-African Congress. ONE of the most inspiring features of the congress is the work of such women as Addie Hunton, Helen Curtis, Coralie Franklin Cook and others. It is more than heartening to find Negro women who can catch the wider vision without losing sight of immediate and local needs. phosts, are thinking, he would be dumbfounded, amazed and surprised. True enough, human nature is the same the world over, but environment and tradition create degrees of difference. One thing the world should know, we would have freedom and liberty, but as to how we will get it is another question. MUSIC "Welcome, Thrice Welcome" is the title of a song written by Mimule J. Martin and published recently by the W. C. Handy Music Publishing Company, 1545 Broadway. The song is dedicated to the Elks. Indianapolis Critic Urges Support for Negro Artists As an aftermath of eighteenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Indianapolis, the art critic of the Indianapolis Star has recently urged support of Negro artists. The Soap Box By George S. Schuvler EVERY large community has its mysteries, and Harlem is no exception to the well-established rule. One of the great mysteries of Harlem, of course, is how so many bootleg manage to flourish without耻谒ry or apparent molestation. I say without apparent molestation because it seems to be a foregone conclusion that they must be molested in some way, but not in a manner that is apparent to the casual observer. Unquestionably, the molestation takes place, and it quite likely takes the form of tribute-collecting by the law-abiding city and Federal officials. This form of molestation, while it cannot be seen, enables the gin houses to remain in sight. It is certain that our authorities, who so eagerly go on the warpath in pursuit of crime and hoof around through the parks to keep spoonsers from necking each other, cannot be unaware of the existence of the dispensaries of Third Rall, Block and Fall and Chicken Gin (at the first drink of the latter you cackle; at the second drink you lay). No, the mystery of the gin mills does not lie in how they manage to evade the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Law, no more than mystery lies in how a certain number banker became a patron of the arts. What does puzzle the sojourner in "Nigger Heaven" is how all of these alcoholic seffiling stations manage to make enough profit to pay rent, salaries and graft. Even the population of Harlem is limited, and assuming that to be around 150,000, and deducting 50,000 for those who are too young to drink (3), those few who are teetotalers, those who are in the hospital or in jail, those who boll their own of those who filch their booze . . . the ample stocks of their employers, we are left with about 100,000 ladies and gentlemen of color who must slake their insatiable thirst at the numerous local temples of Bacchus. But, friends, even with that huge number to draw from, one still marvels how all of our beloved gmills continue to flourish. There are so many of these places, my children. Why, these are more of them than there were in the halcyon days of high-powered beer and free lunches. Almost every corner has its barroom, as in the good old days—and even some cellars have been pressed into service, to say nothing of drug stores, delicatessens, bootchalk parlor, tailors shop, groceries and so forth. Some blocks have one or two; others three or four. On the cross streets, where rent is cheaper and the clientele more discriminating, one finds a surprisingly large number of headache dispensaries. In almost any direction one goes, one can get a drink without leaving the block. And these, mind you, are only the obvious places, for I have so far failed to mention the little private hootchie empiriums in every other apartment and private house. Why, it has got so you can hardly enter a house and stay five minutes before you are asked to buy a drink. If you refuse to drink the proprietor gets mad. If you take the drink you are liable to go mad. Almost there must be well over a thousand of these swelling stations in "The Mecca of the New Negro." This is a far greater number than existed before these United States supposed went dry. So even with so many drinkers to draw upon—or to draw money from—the fact that all of these places continue to do such a land office business remains a source of wonder to most students of the subject. People must, one concludes, be drinking more than ever before. That is to say, the per capita consumption must be greater. Therein, I believe, lies the solution to this great mystery of Harlem. It will be recalled that in the dear dead days of sin and crime, before the country was purified by the reformers and lollypop-eaters, all people, with the exception of the confirmed booze-holders, used to take their liquor with an apologetic air. They wouldn't think of emptying a flask in public, and if they brought out a bottle of good stuff in the privacy of their homes they almost always considered it necessary to mumble something about keeping the booze handy for colds and slickness. Often the head of the house would wait until the wife and children got out of the way before he and his crones proceeded to get a skinful. But that old attitude toward liquor has gone into oblivion along with modesty and good manners. Now the drinkers boast of the liquor they drink. It of how much they can drink. It is a source of great pride and envy nowadays to say that one holds one's liquor well. Almost every household proudly trots out his bottle of booze with an air of quiet triumph and bids you drink. No more are we met with sly winks. furtive nudges BOOK REVIEW BOOK REVIEW An Old Book in New Dress THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN EX-COLOURED MAN. By James Welden Johnson. Alfred A. Knopf. $3.00. THIS is an old friend come to life again. Fifteen years ago, when it was first published, we were all halling it as the first real Negro novel. The first novel, we said. We had had Charles W. Chesnutt's stories of novel length, but "The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man" was the first novel in the standard sense of the word. In that sense a novel is a story that affords a comprehensive view of social conditions. Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN In 1912 this book aroused enthusiasm among reading colored people and some perturbation among the whites. Its message was accentuated by the death, at or about the time, of a prominent Chicago publisher and the revelation that he had been a Negro. A New York newspaper printed an editorial wondering how many thousands or hundreds of thousands of white people were merely passing for white and how many had African blood without knowing it. In a few years the book want out of print and the public forgo it. Now the Knopf firm has done us a good turn by republishing it. Carl Van Vechten, accepted by white people as a greater authority on Negro life than Negroes themselves, has written a laudatory introduction which is fully deserved. In a little over two hundred pages Mr. Johnson gives the reader an enormous amount of information concerning the Negro, his relations with himself and his ideas of white people. Caucasans will be startled by the assertion that the Negro knows more about them than they know about him. The story of the book can be told hege without spoiling the prospective reader's interest; its effectiveness depends on its theme and carrying power instead of dramatic surprise, suspense and the other tricks of fiction. A colored man decides to pass for white. As a white man he succeeds in business and in love. But in the end, in the last two paragraphs of his story, when he speaks of colored men who are working for their people, we find these words; "Beside them I feel small and sad. I am an ordinarily successful man who has made a little money. They are men who are making a history and a race—I cannot repress the thought that, after all, I have chosen the lesser part, that I have sold my birthright for a mess of nottage." After all, it is not the fraction of black or white blood that determines a person's race: it is cultural condition. A pure white infant reared by and among Negroes will grow up as much a Negro as a pure-black one.—A. B. Know New York State The oldest drug-store on the American continent is in New York City at No. 6 Bowyer. It was established in 1805 and is still doing business at the same place. Nigraa Falls was first surveyed in 1764 by British engineers. It was first surveyed as part of New York State in 1842. New York State has the largest institute of learning for women in the country. It is Hunter College, in New York City, and has twice as many students as its nearest rival, Smith College. New York State savings banks have set a new high record, with total deposits of more than four billion dollars, or double the 1919 aggregate. There are 720,000 owners of savings-bank accounts in the State. Manufactured gas was first used in New York State in 1825, a year earlier than the first use of natural gas. The first newspaper in New York State was the New York Gazette, started in 1725 by William Bradford, who had set up the first printing press in the city in 1726. There are in the Empire State forty-three cow-testing and dairy improvement associations. Their members own 18,565 cows and live in seventeen counties. Memphis League Wants Better Conditions MEMPHIS. Teen, Aug.—(By the A. N. P.)—The recent campaign to interest and register Negro voters for the oncoming elections has had the backing and support of the Tennessee Civic and Political League in a very effective way. The League, which is financed by its own members and has no paid officers, is out to put 25,000 Negro voters on the books. At present, despite the opportunity for Negroes to vote in Memphis, and the large Negro population, very few Negroes are enterprising enough to even qualify, thereby disfriancheng themselves. President George W. Lee calls attention to the fact that though the Negroes of Memphis represent one-third of the population they are without representation in any of the city departments. Other cities in Tennessee have Negro police and fire departments but not Memphis. The League hopes to improve this condition. ```markdown ``` Pan-Africanism or Pan-Americanism? COMES now the Fourth Pan-African Congress, in solemn session August 21 to 24, with the view to considering the eight "irreducible needs of our people" of the world. Its press agents indicate that this new deliberative machine of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has no relationship to the Marcus Garvey movement, Liberia, or Mississippi food relief. It is an entirely new species of African rehabilitation, which will earnestly consider the demands, of the Negroes of the world for greater degree of participation in national and international economic and political life. The eight "irreducible" needs of the Negroes of the world, according to the Pan-African steering committee deal with government, land ownership, legal trials, education, the development of Africa, the abolition of the slave trade, world disarmament, and the Negro laborer's status as buffeted by Capital and Labor. Dr. DuBois and his Afro-American clan are to be augmented by delegates from far, far away, who will lay their prescriptions for African world disillusionment upon the dissecting table and depart to carry back to their homelands an ethereal panacea for African lills of the world. We frankly admit that we are a bit in the dark as to the real issues of Pan-Africanism. We know, of course, that our forefathers emigrated, by both persuasion and force, more than three centuries ago, over to the Virginia capes; and we know that since Civil War days the shedding in America has been tough and discouraging. Yet, there are so many things to be done here in America, before world problems are approached, that we are sincerely inclined to concentrate upon Pan-American affairs, believing that if we can cope with them we may then be in a better position to carry glad tidings across the soas. For instance, we could concentrate upon improving the educational background and facilities which are available to us in the U. S. A. Next, perhaps, we could pool our resources and create some industries and business enterprises which would give increased employment and better wages to the folks at home. At the same time, we could foment a competitive atmosphere which would give the white folks a clearer picture of us as PRODUCERS, rather than CONSUMERS. Politically, we might all really get behind capable candidates for public office, or stop "kufiting" them when someone else goes behind them. By unity, we could create an atmosphere which might pass an anti-lynching bill with real teeth in it; and we could blacklist and boycott those among us who accept elemsomy benefits from the Ku Klux Klan. Other words, and with all due respect to Prof. Du Bois and his Pan-African cohorts, we could remember the admonition of the Mouroe Doctrine and beware of foreign entanglements. For, to us it looks as though our job will be right here for the next hundred or so years. and apologetic smirks. "So now that the social taboo is off the booze, people are drinking more and more people are drinking. To encounter someone who does not drink is almost as rare as finding a clerkman who is not secretly an alaskan or a "T" secretary with a bass voice. Nowadays people are offering all sorts of apologies for not drinking, and a social gathering without liquor is almost as rare as a Negro woman without her hair straightened. Thus the spread of democracy. From a habit restricted to relatively a few lost souls, booze-hoisting has become the daily and nightly custom of Big John Majority. And, needless to say, the Jews, Greeks, Italians, Germans and Irish, who run the business in Harlem, are hugely satisfied, while the officials who collect the graft are tickled to death. LETTERS Books I Have Read Recently By W. E. B. DU BOIS What Is Going On'in Haiti AMERICAN NEGROES cult to get facts. Ever a press dispatch from erning in Haiti"telling of the various lines. What is the have at last a book which pied Haiti," edited by Emi College. AMERICAN NEGROES may suspect, but it is difficult to get facts. Every once in a while there comes a press dispatch from the white men who are governing in Haiti telling of the great advancement made in various lines. What is the real truth of the matter? We have at last a book which tells this truth. It is "Occupied Haiti," edited by Emily Greene Balch of Wellesley College. This book is the report "of a committee of six disinterested Americans representing organizations exclusively American, who have personally studied conditions in Haiti, 1926, and who favor the restoration of the independence of the Negro republic." Americann investments there have in general not proved a source of legitimate profits, but of loss, and there is now nothing to justify, from the selfish point of view, the continued expenditure of United States money On this committee were two Negro women, Mrs. Able W. Hunton and Miss Charlotte Atwood. Besides these were two women professors in the University of Chicago and Wellesley College, a man also professor in the University of Chicago and a woman representing the Fellowship of Reconciliation. This book has six chapters telling something of the history of Haiti; the facts concerning the occupation; the economics of the situation; land; agriculture; health; education; public works, racial relations, etc. The unantimous conclusion of the book is that the United States should get out of Haiti and as soon as possible restore this country to the brave people who made it the second republic to appear in the Western Hemisphere. Persons who wish to be armed with facts concerning the situation should read this book. It is short and full of interesting things. The following quotation is taken from the last chapter: "From the point of view of United States interests, in the most 'hard-bolled' sense, there is little to be said for the continuance of our Occupation of Haiti." Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Life has a gorgeous array of entrancing things in her shop window, and we each have just so much to give in exchange for what we desire.

On April 16, 1862 American investments there have in general not proved a source of legitimate profits, but of loss, and there is now nothing, to justify, from the selfish point of view, the continued expenditure of United States money in administering the country. "From the point of view of Halft's interests, it is not true that we are in Halft solely as disinterested benefactors, nor that we can show clean hands in our business dealings there. If our officials have tried to benefit the people of Halft (as a believer they have). It is also true that the Occupation has cared for American financial interests there, of a none too creditable sort, at the expense of our poor and weak neighbors. "Happily it is not the case that the United States is confined to the alternative of either occupying Halti, or else regarding her necessities with indifference and unconcern. It is perfectly possible to be a good neighbor and help Halti to attain health, education, public improvements and public order by other less drastic and ultimately more effective methods than military control. The authors of this report believe that occupation should be ended for the sake of Halti, for the sake of the United States, and especially for the sake of good relations among all American republic, and finally because it is in itself an unjustified use of power." American Negroes should get acquainted with the Vanguard Press. The Vanguard Press is an organization in New York City started by the trustees of the Garland Fund. Its object is to publish cheap books on great subjects. Some of these books are republications of well-known classics; others are original compositions. But altogether the books issued by the Vanguard Press are among the most readable and interesting that the ordinary person can find; and in addition to all this, as I have said before, they are cheap, fifty cents a volume. Among the books already published we would note first, naturally, Charles R. Wesley's "Negro Labor in the United States." This is the most comprehensive study ever made of the way in which the slave became a modern working because it is crammed full of statistics; but it is invaluable for evidence and ought to be in there black man's library. In there the well-known classics like Ruskin's "The Use of Justice"; Beynon Bernard Shaw's "Socialism"; Welld "Socialism"; Tolstoi's "Tetelation"; Jack London's "Essays on Revolt." There is Peter Kropkopin's "Conquest of Bread"; Veblen's "Theory of the Leisure Class"; Lenin's "Imperialism"; Tolstoi's "War, Patriotism and Peace." There is a book on the story of civil liberty in the United States, and essay "where civilization is going." Books on the "war myth in the United States history"; "Is Conscience a Crime"; "Not Gullibility"; "New Tactics in Social Conflicts." In all about twenty-five volumes have been issued and others are planned. For instance, there is to be during the winter a book on Negro education in the South. Persons interested in these books should write to the Vanguard Press, 90 Fifth avenue, New York City.
