In the second place, if all the Negroes had refused to vote for Thompson, he still would have won by 35,000 or 40,000 votes. "I like the Negroes," he continued, "and I want to see them get a fair show." Most of Chicago's Negroes, he explained, had voted for William E. Dever the year Dever was elected. He said that the Negro vote had switched quite properly to Thompson in the last election because of "the unfair attack against Negroes made by those interested in Dever's campaign." Mr. Darrow did not say what these attacks were, but it is known that on March 1 last Dever was accused of having caused the arrest and imprisonment of a thousand Negroes in two words on the South Side that had been won to Thompson. It is also known that on February 18 last he told Norman Happgood that Chicago Negroes were not interested in law enforcement. Amsterdam News WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 14.—Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, prominent physician, 1717 U street northwest, and his wife, Mrs. Helen Gordon Curtis, a leading society matron, 1834 Varnon street northwest, were named as the defendants in separate suits filed against them in the District Supreme Court last Thursday by Miss Eva Fitzhugh, 1816 S street northwest, for $10,000 damages each or alleged assaults. In her declarations, Miss Fitzhugh charges that Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtis assaulted her on May 8. Each of them, she states, beat, kicked and ill-treated her. As a result, she declares, she sustained injuries in and about the head, face, neck and body. Her face and neck, she says, were lacerated and bruised. Her nervous system was so shocked, she clares, that she has become permanently nervous. She also suffered great illnervation and embarrassment, she asserts. Besides the alleged assault on May 8, she also accuses Dr. Arthur Curtis of having assaulted her again on July 7. These alleged assaults are supposed to have occurred in the offices of Dr. Curtis. Miss Fitzhugh is represented by Attorney Wilton J. Lambert, R. H. Yeatman, Austin F. Canfield and George D. Horning Jr. She is under a peace bond of $500. On July 15 Judge Robert E. Mattingly in police court, on complaint of Dr. Arthur Curtis, ordered her to post this bond not to breach the peace. Dr. Arthur Curtis charged her with having threatened to do blim bodily harm. Miss Fitzhugh operates a tea room for white people only at 1104 Vermont avenue northwest. Dr. Arthur Curtis denies that he or his wife ever assaulted Miss Fitzhugh. Instead of his having assaulted her, he states, she attacked him in his office and threatened him with carbolic acid at Freedmen's Hospital. CORRECTIONS Corrections in Re: Florence Mills' Funeral It was Prof. Leon S. Adger, organist and choirmaster of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Jersey City, who was at the organ during the funeral services for the late Florence Mills in the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, and not Dr. Melville Charlton, as stated in The Amsterdam News and the daily press. Prof. Adger, who lives in Plainfield, was substituting for Miss Katie C. Scott, organist of the church, who was confined to her home because of a sprained ankle and arm. It was Bob Slater, president of the C. V. B. A., who was chief usher at the services, and not Park Slater. Evelyn Preer was one of the eight honorary pall bearers at the funeral and not Lottie Gee. It was on Oct. 25 and not Sept. 25 when Lew Leslie, manager of the late Florence Mills, visited her at the hospital, one week prior to her demise. Florence Mills was teaming with Cora Green and Caroline Williams several years before, and not just prior to, her engagement with "Shuffle Along." Noble Slissle of the stage team of Sissle and Blake never wrote any music for the "Little Blackbird," but instead both Sissle and Blake wrote the music especially for Gertrude Saunders in "Shuffle Along," and Florence Mills, who replaced her, sang it.

She left no real estate. These facts came to light when U. S. "Kid" Thompson, the "Blackbird's" husband filled a petition for letters of administration of his late wife's estate. Through his attorney, Ralph Eugene Mizelle, 200 Broadway. Thompson made application to Surrogate Foley in the Surrogate Court of West County Thursday, and the petition was granted the following day. Florence Mills left no will. She also left no debts, it is said. The beautiful home at 220 West 133d street, which Florence Mills is reported to have bought, is owned by her husband.

FINLEY WILSON AT THE ARMORY THAT, NIGHT More Disorder At the Lafayette Intoxicated Man Attempted to Force Entrance With Knife Armed with a stomach and pocket full of liquor and a dangerous knife, Willard Baptiste, 27, 201 West 118th street, tried to cut his way into the Lafayette Theatre, 2227 Seventh avenue about 9 o'clock Monday night. He slashed at Bernard Burtt, theatre manager, and caught instead Frank Ellis, usher, upon whom he inflicted an ugly gash on the left shoulder. Other ushers came to Ellis' assistance and held the man until the arrival of Detective Joe Brown from the West 135th street station, who placed Baptiste under arrest on a charge of felonious assault. He was arraigned in Heights Court yesterday. Baptiste bought his ticket and sought admission to the theatre, but was stopped by Pickney Hill, the doorman, who saw that Baptiste was infiltrated. Manager Burtt came on the scene, refunded his money and offered him a free pass for next day, and courteously asked baptiste not to go in the theatre drunk. As Burt turned to go Baptiste slashed at him with a long knife and the swing caught Ellis, who was stooping over a lobby sign, on the shoulder. Ellis then fought him to the street, where he thought he had K'od him on the sidewalk as Baptiste's head hit the pavement with a crack. As Ellis turned to go back into the theatre Baptiste got up and slashed him again. Then the fun began. The ushers came to Ellis' assistance but Baptiste never lost crissolousness. When Detectives Brown, Winterhait and Boyden arrived Baptiste's hands were tied with bandages to prevent any further harm. Would-Be Suicide Drunk, Say Police Took Plunge in· Harlem River to Cool Off Max Lewis, 25, 92 West 130th street, alleged would-be suicide, was found guilty of disorderly conduct following the failure of his attempt at self-destruction, and was given a suspended sentence by Magistrate Well, before whom he was arraigned in Heights Court Saturday. According to Patrolman White of Traffic C. Lewis, under the Influence of alcohol, was apparently stricken with "alcohol melanocoria" while walking along the 145th street bridge across the Harlem River, Thursday afternoon, and plunged in. The temperature of the ice waters evidently tempered his temperament, for he is said to have started swimming for the shore. In the meantime, an unknown passerby had swam to his aid, and helped him ashore. Patrolman White, attracted by the crowd that collected, placed Lewis in custody and summoned Dr. Carofolo from Harlem Hospital, who gave Lewis medical attention. The only damage suffered was that Lewis's trousers split when he struck the water. Lewis was arraigned in Night Court and held in $500 ball for a hearing in Heights Court Saturday. His father is said to have refused to go his ball, preferring to wait until his son had recovered from his folly. Lewis was freed on a suspended sentence Saturday.

HELD BALANCE OF POWER AND CAST VOTE AS ONE MAN Mobilized Under Leadership of Robert R. Church—Appeal to Race Prejudice Fails Present MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 14. — The election of Watkins Overton as mayor and the defeat of Mayor Rowlett Paine was a personal victory for Robert R. Church, who made a biracial combination with E. H. Crump, white, and supported the successful candidate and his entire ticket. Overton defeated Paine by 12,780 votes. The total vote was: Overton, 19,806; Paine, 7,080. More than 7,000 Negroes voted in the election, casting their ballots solidly for Overton and his ticket. "Cracker" Juror Can't Serve in Pa. Says He Couldn't Find Fair Verdict for Negro PITTSBURGH, Nov. 14.—Pennsylvania vada judges, at least those in Allegheny County, have no tolerance for persons serving on juries who hold "cracker" sentiments. William Coe, a white painter, accused of racial prejudice, was summarily dismissed from jury service here Tuesday in Criminal Court by Visiting Judge John Hennlinger of Butler County. The incident is said to be the first of its kind in this county. Coe was called on a jury being embalmed to try Jesse Duncan, 51, who had lived in Pittsburgh 37 years and at one address in Charles street, North Side, for 27 years, on a charge of murder. In the examination of the prospective talesmen, Atty William H. Stanton, counsel for the defendant, asked Coe, who is said to have lived in and near Baltimore, Md., previous to his coming to Pittsburgh about three years ago, if he could find a fair verdict for a Negro. "I do not think so," Coe replied, and diplomatically pressed for a specific answer by attorney Stanton, who appealed the statement. Attorney Stanton then challenged he dismissed from the panel without pay, terming him unfit for jury service. Duncan was placed on trial for the slaying of Booker Dinnidwille, a neighbor, May 28 when Duncan, according to Attorney Stanton, was acting in the capacity of a peacemaker in a quarrel over a debt among friends during a drinking party at his home, Dinwiddle being an innocent victim of the shooting.

More than 7,000 Negroes ting their ballots solidly for Overton Mayor Paine sought to return to office on a wave of racial prejudice. He raised the hue and cry of Negro demination of city elections and declared that unless the opposition ticket were defeated, "those who wish to be candidates for office in the future in this city, like applicants for federal jobs, will have to 'see Bob Church.'" Church and George W. Lee mobilized the Negro vote. They organized the West Tennessee Civic and Political League and started a campaign for the registration of Negro voters. They demanded Negro firemen, Negro policemen and admission to all city parks and the zoo. Mayor Paine answered that "there will be no Negro policemen, no Negro firemen, nor removal of the restrictions now governing the admission of Negroes to the white parks of the city, including Overton Park Zoo, as long as I have any voice in the control of the city government." Church and his organization decided to oppose him. They endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Overton. A bitter campaign resulted. A full page advertisement appealing to race prejudice was run in the daily newspapers. The question was, "Shall Crump and Church rule through Overton?" Mayor Patine himself defined the issue to be: "Shall candidates for office in this city run on their own merit and qualifications or shall they be compelled to obtain the indorsement and support of E. H. Crump, the white boss, and Bob Church, the Negro boss, in order to be elected to office in the city of Memphis?" On Wednesday night preceding the election the Beale Street Church was bombed while Mr. Church was addressing mass meeting in it. Mayor Patine an enlarged picture of Mr. Church in his headquarters and under it was printed: "Will Southern white men and women allow this Negro man to name a next mayor of Memphis and defeat a Southern white woman for office?" On Wednesday night preceding the election Mayor Patine made an inflammatory speech in which he said: 16,337 and without or re- four no fol- les, or, for thin; says at masters, tab- sellers, tab- sellers, and masters. "The livest issue of the campaign is that created by our challenge of the right of a Negro political organization to hold the balance of power in Memphis elections. The way for such a movement was paved by the politicians who brought the Negroes into the Democratic primary last year. Organized under the leadership of Bob Church to enforce racial demands through political action the West Tennessee Civic and Political League published the demand for Negro policemen and general admission of Negroes to the white parks of the city. "In the face of that demand Mr. Overton remained silent until we (Continued on Page 2.)

Nov. 14—It appears that there are a number of white people here who are inclined to be filled with an undue amount of fear lest the activities of the Negroes in this city, under the leadership of Bob Church and Lieut. B. W. Lee, who have started a movement to organize the Negro voters of Memphis and at the same time teach them the rudimentary elements of citizenship and how to exercise the right of suffrage. Just prior to the last election more than a thousand men and women were assembled in the Overton-Davis school being taught how to vote intelligently when a group of whites, alleged to be unknown to the police, placed a bomb under the school building and set it off while the meeting was in progress. The explosion created considerable consternation, although no one was hurt. A meeting was going on at the same time in the New Prospect Baptist Church and a few minutes later a minor explosion occurred here, frightening the attendants considerably. Police were notified of the trouble and started a search for those responsible for the disturbance. The bomb tore a large hole in the door of the church. Some one lifted his covering of the basement door and pitched the bomb into the ellar. Several months ago the Negroes of Memphis started this Americanization movement and when the whites learned that the Negroes planned to mass their voting strength with the purpose in mind of securing better housing, sanitation, lighting, police protection, as well as political representation in the form of appointments as clerks, etc., in the municipal and county offices, it is said that numerous diplomatic efforts on the parts of the whites have been made to dissuade the Negro leaders from carrying out Wise Suggests PRICE this SHOE ANYWHERE!

W. went to organize the Negro voters time teach them the rudimentary to exercise the right of suffrage. their plans of organizing the Negroes into a solid alliance. Negroes into a solid voting unit. The Memphis white papers attempted to make light of the situation by printing stories of how frightened the Negroes were of "rockyckets" and fire crackers apparently placed in the buildings by someone seeking to play a prank on them. Leading Negroes of Memphis declare that these cowardly attempts to deter them and their people has only made them a more determined set of citizens who will seek more ardently in the future to secure their full citizenship rights, and especially assert themselves at the polls on election days. Sherif Knight said that the bomb was of the harmless kind. He says that it may or may not have been thrown for political effect. Mayor Owes Office To Negro Support forced the issue. He denies any agreement or understanding with the leaders of this league, but so far he has not raised his voice in protest against the fundamental purpose of its organization, namely, controlling.city elections with the solid Negro vote. Speakers in behalf of Mr. Overton and Negro papers both here and elsewhere have denounced us for blocking the program of Church, which included Negro policemen and general admission to the white parks of the city. "Church and his aides are engaged in the most sinister political activities ever undertaken in this city. Victory through their votes and influence means that in the future candidates for office in this city, like applicants for federal appointments, must see Bob Church." "No such issue was ever before presented to the people of Memphis. Nothing akin to it was involved in the campaign four years ago. I am the campaign four years ago. Improper appeals for Negro votes were not made in behalf of any of the candidates. Bob Church had not then become the absolute dictator of federal appointments in this city. No Negro club had been organized to place in his hands the keys to every office in the city of Memphis. Then there was only a normal Negro registration; now it is nearly one-third of the total registered vote. "The resentment of a Negro club, incensed because one of the candidates for mayor had refused its demands for Negro policemen and general admission to the white parks of the city, and forced the other candidate to declare his views on these demands, was not then a factor in the campaign. "Four years ago there were few if any in this city who would have dreamed that a Negro political leader, intoxicated with his success in matters of federal patronage, would have the audacity to organize a Negro political club and publicly voice such demands. We have the opposition of this Negro political club. Our opponents have its endorsement. They should have joined us in repudiating the support of such a club and in denouncing the objects of its organization. That club is a new thing and a dangerous thing in Memphis politics. Its existence means friction and not unity among the races. Its activities present the races that is perfectly plain. The duty of Memphians is clearly clear. It is to stop Church and his Negro club with ballots now. It is the part of both wisdom and righteousness to face and not shrink from this issue. Meet it like men and victory is assured." Mr. Church's comment on the results of the election was, "It was a bitter campaign but a great victory."

The total cost of the funeral was $5,927.50, this amount including the cost of the casket, which was at first reported to cost $10,000. $1,000 NOT CHARGED BY DR. BROWN. U. S. "Kid" Thompson denies, elsewhere in these columns, the report that he was obliged to pay to the Rev. James W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the sum of $1,000 for the use of the church for funeral services over the remains of Florence Mills. The Rev. W. Brown also denies that anything was charged for the use of the church. "Not. penny was charged," said the Rev. B. Zion, although the church is very much in need of money. Donations are always acceptable. The funeral of the late Florence Mills was held in Mother Zion without cost of any kind." It was learned from a reliable source, however, that $100 was paid for the use of the church, Mrs. Wintrefy, mother of Florence Mills, is a member of the Mother Zion Church. Musician Sentenced Gouging out the eye of a rival for the affections of a young woman resulted in Arthur S.

He had a record of eleven previous arrests. New Rochelle Woman Granted Divorce Mrs. Willie Laea Williams, 86 Winthrop avenue, New Rochelle, was recently awarded a decree of divorce from her husband, John, on the ground of desertion, in the Supreme Court of White Plains, New York. A unique feature of the case was the precedent established by Justice George H. Taylor, Jr., who, upon being informed that the principal witness was confined to sick-bed, instead of adjourning the case, in accord with the custom which prevails in the New York courts, he went to the Grassland Hospital, five miles distant from White Plains, and accepted the testimony of the said witness. Attorney Lamar Perkins, 2296 Seventh avenue, represented the plaintiff. Justice Taylor is the same judge who last year vacated the injunction against Negro Elks, seeking to restrain them from using their name and insignia. KNIFE WIELDER DRAWS RESERVES Police reserves were called out late Thursday night when they received word that a man was running wild with a dangerous knife. However, before they arrived Alfred Wilson, 39, 202 West 131st street, the disturber, was pounced upon, subdued and arrested by Patrolman Freeman of the West 135th street station, who said he came upon Wilson at 137th street and Seventh avenue, slashing at everybody in sight with a dangerous spring knife. Wilson pleaded guilty before Magistrate Well in Heights Court Friday, and was held in $500 for Special Sessions on a charge of violating the Sullivan law. Wins Three-Year Fight for Home Staten Island Postman and Neighbors Settle Out of Court Samuel A.

According to the Staten Island Advance, a previous offer to discontinue the suit had been met with the demand that Mr. Browne sell his house.

Nightly demonstrations against him were held, he and his family were threatened with death, stones were thrown breaking his windows, his shrubbery was torn up and threats were made to burn the house. At the instance of the N. A. A. C. P., to whom Mr. Browne appealed, the Police Department furnished him with nightly police protection.

Face Prejudice Attributed to Magistrate Henry M. Goodman in Traffic Sentences What Harlemites consider a fragrant instance of race prejudice occurred Thursday when Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman, sitting as 2 Court of Special Sessions judge in Traffic Court, 300 Mulberry street, sent seven colored men to jail for traffic violations and let off with fines at least fifty white violators the same day. Although Magistrate Goodman stoutly denied any race discrimination, his action has created a sensation in the city. "I feel that I have been very unjustly treated by the press in this matter," he said. RE-UPHOLSTERING SALE! SALE! SALE! Special Bargains FREE Window Drape with each order.

Ambro Morgan, Margaret Jones and Walter Murray are said to have been given the alternative of paying either a fine or going to jail, but one report declares that they were both fined and jailed. GOODMAN GETS SUMMERS, TOO Chief Magistrate McAdoo had signaled 150 summonses for traffic law violations and among them was a summons for Magistrate Goodman himself, who was charged with parking his car for four hours on Oct. 31 in front of 228 West Fort-second street. When Magistrate Goodman arrived at the court to see about his case he learned that 1,400 cases were to be heard by the magistrates on duty, so he took the bench to assist. He heard over fifty cases that morning. Patrolman Kohnsky of Traffic F stepped before him and said: "Your Honor, I have a complaint of parking against me, and I would ask aside, but the news spread rapidly through the court. Magistrate Goodman had already sent the colored men to jail, an act which, or its severity, astonished everyone in the court. The colored men in the cell downstairs soon learned of it and sent up a loud, vociferous and bitter complaint which reached the ears of Chief Magistrate McAdoo. An immediate investigation revealed that Magistrate Goodman had neglected to accept waivers from the prisoners, and that they had been sent to jail without alternatives. Magistrate McAdoo then re-registred the prisoners and after explaining the situation to them, disposed of their cases "as new ones" or imposing a fine of $5 each. Magistrate McCreary sat also. Magistrate McAdoo said: "The fact that the seven Negroes were the only ones who received full terms, although there were numerous white men charged with the same offense, would tend, in my opinion, to give the impression to them and to all colored people of New York that there was discrimination against them. He (Magistrate Goodman) treated the case honestly, but in the legal sense mistakenly. . . . I have no reason to reflect on the general conduct of Magistrate Goodman. . . . I am asked if I severely rebuked him for his conduct in the cases in question. I simply stated the facts in the case as it was presented to me. . . . I have to criticism to make of him as to his general conduct as a magistrate." "In addition some of the streets were fire streets, where the parking of the cars imperiled not only property, but lives. In my desire to help the Police Commissioner I rendered judgments that were not severe. "You will also find, if anyone wants to be fair about the matter, that my sentences . . . in the majority of cases were similar to those of other magistrates sitting in a Traffic Court." Referring to his own case of traffic violation Magistrate Goodman told his Chief Magistrate that on one day he alleged violation he had used his car, but had lent it to a friend. He complained that a policeman had called at his home to serve his summons and had disturbed one of his daughters, was ill. His case was referred to Magistrate Mc Creary, who will he it tomorrow. Magistrate Goodman was appointed by Mayor Hyun, filling out in 1923 the unfinished term of Magistrate Thomas Nolan, who was appointed to Special Sessions. He is said to have been involved in automobile cases before and in 1925, it is reported, was chained with driving without a license when his car struck and injured a six-year-old girl at Manasquan, N. J. Sult was killed against him, it is said and on June 10, 1926, he was ordered to pay a judgment of $1,250 to the mother of the child, Dorothy Garison.

Policies Explained at Banquet Given at Venetian The Relief Mortgage Corporation, 654 Lenox avenue, the only Negro organization in Harlem catering to the vital needs of owners of mortgaged property, held an important meeting and banquet at the Venetian Studio. 224 West 135th street, Saturday night, for the purpose of bringing to public notice the special service they render the community. O. Montrose Thompson, founder and vice-president, explained that for two years the corporation has been helping Negroes to save their homes from mortgage foreclosures after the owner found it difficult to keep up the payment of his life- time wages. He organized on Oct. 20, 1935, "and said Mr. Thompson, and during the first business year of nine months we declared a dividend of 6 per cent to our stockholders. On Dec. 15 we will declare a dividend of 7 per cent, and the dividend will be increased continually. "Our policy is never to use the stockholders' money for expenses, a practice which has killed many NGO organizations. Expenses are paid out of earnings only. Also, our directors have served without compensation. It was hard to find men to serve on a board of directors who were in sympathy with such an ideal, but I found them, and they have served with unuselfish zeal. Salaries will not be paid until we are obliged to give our entire time to the corporation. "We are duly chartered by the State of New York and operate under 130 best auspices. The community needs a mortgage bank and an organization. Stockholders in our corporation are provided unquestionable safety. We carry a surplus account and a slinking fund, and every investment is carefully scrutinized before being passed upon and must be unanimously approved by the Board of Directors." The officers and Board of Directors consist of: Wellesley B. Richards, real estate operator, president; Henry S. Warner, public accountant and treasurer of various religious and fraternal organizations, treasurer; Mr. Thompson, graduate of Business College, Canada, now connected with one of the oldest and most successful investment banking institutions in America, first vice-president; Samuel Hamilton, automobile and taxicab business, second vice-president; Eustace V. Dench, attorney at law and public accountant, secretary. Others present were the Rev. E. Elliott Burant of St. Ambrose P. E. Church; the Rev. G. M. Oliver of Rush Memorial Church; Charles M.

Lesson III—Pleating the Outer Covering THE first and second lesson tape and stitch the lining laid, the lining as tight as shall begin the outside coveri Georgette or chiffon may b ing, and the prettiest and most material is to pleat it. This is THE first and second lessons told you how to wind the tape and stitch the lining. If this foundation is well laid, the lining as tight as a drum without a wrinkle, we shall begin the outside covering. Georgette or chiffon may be selected for this outer covering, and the prettiest and most effective way to apply this material is to pleat it. This is to be done right on the frame. First, measure the size of the desired pleats and mark off with pins, equal divisions the same size, on the lower rim of the shade. It will take some little adjusting of sizes to make this come out even, but the time that it takes to get accurate measurements will be found well spent when a lampshade that looks "well tailored" is the result. Care and nicety of an adjustment make just the difference between a tailored and the average home-made suit. Lampshades are no less sensitive than clothes. Pin each pleat in place at the bottom rim first and then cross-over stitch them. Next arrange the pleats at the top as they fall. Do not hesitate to coax them a little if they show signs of failing with anything less than mathematical precision. Be sure that each pleat is drawn tightly to the top rim before stitching. See that spaces are even. Then cross-over stitch them. Do not cut the material away from the rim until the work is complete. See Figure III. Note: If you failed to get the other instructions in lampade making, or if you have trouble with this lesson, see me at The Amsterdam News office, today, Thursday or Friday, between 4 and 5 p. m., or telephone Morningside 701. Good Taste in Dress By Aldina Hawkins Halnes. Good taste in dress is the thing we create without effort. Without a large outlay of money, appearance is becoming more and more generally considered a necessity. Yes, one's character may be expressed by dress. Good taste is an asset in life; it is not a heaven sent gift. Your first step should be to study economy when considering clothes. Never rush to buy for any occasion. Dressing well is an intelligent art. Simplicity is the keynote of good taste. It displays the personal side of an individual; it adapts the prevailing fashions to the person wearing them.

"A Night in Spain" Colorful Dance "A Night in Spain," the name given to the annual benefit dance of the Women's Auxiliary to the Urban League, at Manhattan Casino, 165th street and Eighth avenue, last Friday night, was novel.

Among the prominent persons present were: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Holden, Miss Nellie Smith, Miss Florence Latimore, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Bagley, Dr. Mary Jane Watkins, Dr. and Mrs. Luclen M.

Nowadays, however, a bathroom can be made both sanitary and pretty. A little change here and there can make it the gayest room in the home. Here is a most inexpensive way of transforming the ordinary bathroom to a delightful one: Cover the walls with paper of a gay, flowered pattern with canary yellow as the predominating color. A coat of water-proof varnish can be carried over the paper to preserve it. For the window, let us have ruffled curtains of canary yellow. Take your plain white shower curtains and dye them the same shade. On the floor put a rag rug, which has more yellow than other color in it, to show that you are following your color scheme. On the shelf above the wash stand have a decorative glass jar. If it cannot be purchased in yellow, issuer the inside yellow. Place this jar and bottles on the little glass shelf. To complete the color scheme, have the towel racks enameled yellow; also enamel the bathroom stool yellow. If one wishes to make a shade for the window, flowered chintz, as near like the flowered wall paper as possible, will be effective. With the color scheme now carried to the bathroom, paper tissue can now be purchased in the pastel shades. I am sure yellow for our purpose can be obtained with little coat. If one wished to eliminate the flowered paper for the wall, and paint the wall a cream color (with the wood-work also cream colored), yellow should be carried out in all other things, except the shower curtain. Inexpensive, rubberized shower curtains (as in the picture) can be procured with beautiful flowery Parris, Attorney Stanley Douglas, Glarence Jackson, Mrs. Mabel Doley Keaton, Miss Ruth McGhee, Miss Gwendolyn Smith, Miss Muriel Proctor, Miss Acoilan Bibb, Gulschar Parris, Richard Thomas, Mrs. Ethel Baird.

Use outside stalks for making soup. Scrape off brown spots, wash, then cut in small pieces. Allow 2 cups of water to 1 cup of cut celery. Cook until celery is tender. Add salt to taste just before celery is done. Add this mixture (using water in which celery was cooked) to two cups thin cream sauce. Season and serve hot. A medium cream sauce calls for 1 cup milk; 2 tablespoons flour; 2 tablespoons butter; $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon salt and $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon pepper. Melt the butter, stir in the flour and seasoning, add milk gradually and stir to avoid lumps. Use double boiler, if possible. Cook 15-20 minutes to improve flavor. Y. W. C. A.

Crave Nice Thoughts About Clothes, Says Student Men do not care what the women wear and women do not care what the men wear, but the women "raise a lot of fuss about what the men think of what they wear," asserts Sinoforo Padilla, a student of the University of Michigan, in a first prize, winning letter published in an opinion contest in the November issue of Association Men, official Y. M. C. A. magazine. "After all, a woman's business seems to be to knock a man cold with what she wears, and apparently it is a man's fate to be knocked cold and be counted out," he says.

TESTIMONIAL FOR FLORENCE MILLS Midnight Shows at Three Theatres Same Night "FLORENCE MILLS AS I KNEW HER" FOR SEVEN YEARS MANAGER OF THE INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY WHOSE DEATH THE WORLD MOURNS As Told to ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY, Dramatic Editor, The Amsterdam News "She was one of Nature's darlings, blessed with an equable disposition and a heart of gold" The First Authentic Account of the Work and Success of the "Little Blackbird" Was Exclusively Told by The Amsterdam News—The First Newspaper in the World to Publish the Attainment of this Remarkable Girl, Who Reached the Highest Rung on the Theatrical Ladder of Success Convincing proof that a great motion picture need not necessarily be an eagle in number of people used or the size of the theatre where Emil Jannings first Paramount starring vehicle. "The Way of All Flesh," is to be shown the latter part of this week commencing Thursday. Here is the foremost motion picture actor of the world today in one of the most dramatically human, vital and compelling pictures the screen has ever known. "The Way of All Flesh" is a saga of sacrifice, the coming of temptation and the death of man, a powerful sermon on the fragility of mankind. To see "The Way of All Flesh" with Jannings as the man who has been tempted to kill his family might be spared shame, is to experience a flood of cleansing thought-provoking emotions. There are laughs and tears! moments when the audience is moved by the noise. By no means is Jannings alone in this drama. Belle Bennett, Phillips Haver, Donald Keith, Fred Kohler and another actor give visual evidence that Paramount searched long and assiduously for those capable of giving that 'rarest', of all rarities, a perfect characterization in the film. The roles of a modern motion picture. Victor Fleming, who directed, uses the camera as an accomplished spinner of handles. He handles the handling of the plot flashes with grace. Always it is true and convincing. "The Way of All Flesh" will undoubtedly be classed as one of the foremost pictures ever filmed, and this reputation should endure for years to come.

All Harlem has been named for this appealing story, American-made flapper drama Jannings is admirably supported by Belle Bennett, Phyllis Haven and David Keith. Emil Jannings, the peer of all characters, has been a long-time year, the man whose brilliant performances in "Variety" and "The Last Laugh" will long be remembered, has surpasses all that has done before this narrative of devastating temptations of the flesh. "The Way of All Flush" is one of the most beautiful songs produced, and Jannings portrays a character which will live as a vivid, lively, and powerful part of all time. It is a positive sensation! Sam Manning announces that the finishing touches have been put to the cast of the movie, self and that it will have its premiere presentation at the Lafayette, beginning Monday, November 21. Mr. Manning is also superior to the previous vehicles with which Mr. Garvey was identified. Mercy Marquez, Anna Freeman, Annabelle Conway and other theatrical celebrities are in the cast. "HARLEM SCANDALS" We have learned with deep regret of the death of Miss Florence Milt, whom everyone esteemed and courted for her agreeable society, and whom it was indeed a pleasure to hear. Words cannot express our grief. It is, indeed, a ploos duty for it to consummate the lightful circumstances, to accept all the consolation that friendship, and re-confidence can supply in such dreadful trials.

She attended twenty-two years ago. She attended P.S. 113 and 59 in Harlem and graduated from Fratts Institute and the Brooklyn College. She performed a chorus girl in "Shuffle Along."

If Miss Hall can continue to capture the attention of the at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday the world will soon hear more of her. Now as to the show: 'Dance Mania' is the work of Clarence Robinson, who is rapidly adding this place as one of the ablest young producers in the theatrical world.

THEATRE EUROPE MOURNS WITH AMERICA THE PASSING OF FLORENCE MILLS Amsterdam News European Correspondent Tells of Shock at News of Her Death—British Papers Join in Eulogies to the Departed—Her Last Day in the Old World—Comments Liverpool, England, 11/$rd/27. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Drake International News, New York City, N. Y. My sister long silence. I started out today to drop you a few lines to say that we are still on the map, and before starting my work I am informed of the location of the Mills. So you see I am really not in any writing—mood whatever, but I shall endeavor to send me little along with the English papers. Longtime with reference to the old man, I can truthfully say that even the sudden death of the Queen of England's brotherhood of the world—the time of the great war—was the last moment of death of our dear little Florace, and here in Liverpool, the last city in which she appeared on the stage, who is still fresh in the minds of the people, and her death. Every daily paper throughout England has had long, comments about her death on the front pages, and wonderful, that she was not in any�us. She has had her own life, all over all over her life, her death was announced over the radio, on the bulletin boards, cables to other parts of Europe, and even extra. The great actresses that over lived, regardless of race or color. Indeed one of the most so little I may say at this time that hasn't already been said or that the most so little of the life of the world is as far as the first of the most unrestful but the life of the life of the people. Xillia was not only a great, unusual, and most just but the life she lived as the one for the people, white or black, and untimely death. It was my great privilege to know her well and last winter, and I was very much a man who had a good life, and I was very much a man who would come to our day. I have, though a tiny mile, loved her nearer. I worked with her in "Shufle I long, I would be a good man," she said. She was my great friend of interest and knowing her was well. Her death is certainly a terrible shock to me and I pray to the almost all of the great before I will be the beautiful life. It was the earth. Now, I am a great sympathy with my people. I am a great sympathy of great and sorrow, her wonderful husband and family during their hours of grief and sorrow. They will not only inlas her, but we all shall, and I am now perhaps thought of. That always remember my last time with her. I rode from Kings Cross to Lohلي, and how well I was to her. In the first time I was a great man.

She was very happy to know of the Now that she has passed on I shall forever remember her as one of the finest women in the world and the salutations that God ever let live, and as her life's work has been nubly completed. Comments From Some British Publications Miss Florence Mills, who has just died in New York as the result of an operation for appendicitis, made her last appearance on the stage at the Empire, Liverpool, in August, for she left the cast of "Blackblinds," the colored revue, at the end of its fortnight in Liverpool to go to New York. Ill-health had affected her for some time before, and though doctors in England advised an operation, Miss Mills had a pathetic belief that her own doctor at Harlem could cure her without one. She left "Blackbirds" to go and see him. Miss Mills, who was only 26, was a star from the age of 5. Mr. C. B. Cochran, seeing her in New York, brought her to London, serious and charming girl, she was very sensitive about the attitude of white people toward her race. "We have the same brains and the same feelings as white people," she said to an Echo representative whom she was here, "and it hurts us very much when we are looked upon as people apart. I like my work on the stage because it is the quickest way of showing white people that we are really very like them." Miss Mills, who was receiving 1200 a week in Liverpool, will be remembered most for the natural beauty of her high soprano voice. NEW YORK, Tuesday. Nov. 1, Miss Florence Mills, the famous colored actress died here this morning in the Hospital for Joins Diseases. She entered the hospital on Friday and was treated by Philip Grausman performed an intestinal operation, from which she never rallied. A Reuter cable states that Miss Mills suffered from appendicitis. Miss Florence Mills was the leading lady in the colored revue "Blackbirds," which she in nine months at London Pavilion, terminating in June last. The company which she was a member of is Mr. The famous actress left the company three months ago because her husband died. The famous actress, who was the first to take the stage, was a very old woman, who had been suffering, wanted to take the three months of the engagement. She find, indeed, she complained before the company went on tour. It was felt that she had, however, to leave the company and return home after a few weeks. Miss Mills, who was discovered in a cabaret show in New York, where Leslie had been a friend of the same woman, was a man who had made the fortune of a restaurant in the neighborhood of Broadcom. She and her company had made the fortune of a restaurant in the neighborhood of Broadcom. Mrs. Leslie cabarets had for a long time been the haunt of smart New Yorkers who went to Harlem, the Negro quarter. Negro life and Negro entertainment. Mrs. Mills, who was the greatest colored entertainer who had ever appeared in England, was the daughter of a freed slave. She spent a considerable time in England, and her mother, the daughter of a free-born woman, had the idea that by displaying her abilities such an artist she could show that black people were worthy of a better place in the world. She once told Negroes that if they were not in the same way as they should do the best they could in the sphere in which they found themselves. "One day," she said, "the colored people will come into their own." When Mrs. Mills was in the same age, she was the chief of London, she burst suddenly into a most eloquent speech, in which she said she looked forward to the future. Fathomably better time for her people. Fathomably better time for her people. Mrs. Mills, however, did not like going out to parties and they were most on earth. Mrs. Mills, however, did not like going out to parties and they were most on earth. Mrs. Mills was not ripe. Indeed, on one occasion, when some white artists were coming, Mrs. Mills was not ripe. She was not ripe. The first time she had seen a black man about the people, she thought, she had to be the guest, the host was nervous about telling the people that a colored artist was coming. Much to his surprise, the news came on the telephone that Mrs. Mills had come to the꜀. Mrs. Mills, during the last month of her engagement in London, received 1330 a week as her salary and a share. She saved the greater part of it, for although she had a great deal of the like, she was not a good man. London, she lived quietly in Gower street, where other colored artists occupied lodgings. H. S. Miss Millie was only 25 years of age. Although an extremely clever dancer, Miss Millie was not a girl that she had never had a dancing lesson, and only a few singing lessons. She was a member of the Washington School in Washington. It was in 1920 that her great chance came, when she was offered and accepted the "lead" in a new show, "Shuffle Along," in New York. Later she became a star at the Phantom Cabaret, New York, where Mr. C. Millie was the lead in her to London, where she appeared in May, 1923, in "Dover Street to Dike." Mrs Millis' last appearance in London was with an all-colored cast in "The Blackbirds" which was produced at the Pavilion in September of last year. Blackbirdie" which was produced at the Pavilion in September of last year. It was an exotic, eccentric, ultra-jazz revue, in which the peculiar talents of Mimi McCormack and the talented session. She was done by the thinnest legs ever owned by a well-known dancer, and the Daily Chronicle dramatic critic wrote of her performance: The artistry of Miss Mill is exceptional. She can fill mawkland words, set to an initiative melody, with slitter and inunendo. The audience cooed over, with the stage Miss Mill was brought to was another Nellie Farren. On the stage Miss Mill was a dignified, serious and charming girl whose other ambition it was to raise the social status of the Negro. Color Problem. She spoke English in a quiet, cultured voice. Somewhat sensitive as to her color, she once said she could not be a mother "why a little color in the skin should make so much difference. We have the same brains and the same feelings as white people, and it hurts us very much when we are looked upon as people sport." (From the London Daily Dispatch.) New was recovered in London last night that Alex Florence Mills, the famous colored comedian, died in New York yesterday morning, following an operation for appendicitis, at the age of 28. It would seem that she was a victim of overwork. A Miss Mill was not at the age of 28, but had been warned by doctors that unless she took a rest she would suffer a complete breakdown. It was then feared that she would have to undergo an operation. She last played with the "Blackbird" company at Liverpool in August. The previous year, when she was in her 18th year of her 19th year work in America, she decided to go on holiday for two months five years after a fortnight before returning to New York. She was not at the climate of this country is unkind to me," she then told the family. Demotom, the hope, if "Blackbirds" is still running, that I shall be able to return after my rest. Her husband, Ulysses S. Thompson, appeared with her in "Blackbirds." (From the London Daily Telegraph.) To speak of the London Daily Telegraph, we use too pretentious a word. Perhaps, after all, it was her personality, and no more that, which made the sudden news of her death so strangely, disturbingly painful. There was a young woman, a girl, who was in youth endowed with such electric vitality as hers, but "Queens have died young and fair" before today, and a Queen of Revue who delighted for a little while with her, who was not amid the rush of everyday affairs. And yet, there was something in Florence Mills which made her unforgettable, and the queer little break "other voice and sound," which will haunt us, polargently now that we know we shall never hear them again. It was no common personality which, night after night, could ensnare the hearts of London audiences in spite of the glaze of the batteries and the restless decabony of a jazz accompaniment, which she conquered and made her servant. Artists she seemed, but it was artlessness of a kind which only the highest artists can achieve. Her personality was essentially untheatrical, if by theatrical we mean the blatant triumph of the personality which uses the theatre to stunt its audience. Her appeal was delicate, personal, intimate; and the background of hypnotic rhythm by means of which the intelligence was drugged before she came on the stage suddenly became irrelevant and tiresome when her tin figure reappeared. She exploited her personality not by means of but an opposition to her NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16, 1927 EUROPE MOURNS "LITTLE I ntiments of Performers Vo EUROPE MOURNS "LITTLE BLACKBIRD" Sentiments of Performers Voiced Abroad Sir "Hamtree" Harrington THE NEW YORK TIMES When the Popular Male Member of the Green and Harrington Team Returned From Europe Recently He Admitted He Was Charmed With England and Appreciated the Many Expressions Applauding the Work of Himself and Miss Green in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds."

In infinite joyousness, sweeping back the tide of years and inducing a carefree mood of springtime, was perhaps her greatest gift; but with it, as a kind of unrest, she was a progression of it, and her childlike abandon to the mood of the minute added to it. It was not surprising somehow to learn that of the stage was a grave, serious moment, who thought work and achievement of the same quality. She was not quite sure how much could have made her a whole. Some of the world as the whites. All was implicit in her voice when she sang the歌. However, one sensed the sad dignity of a race which the world had treated unjustly—a kind of sensibility which made all our memories of nigger-ministralism unsurprising.

Her delicious artifactual kept hidden, or almost hidden, because at the moment it was worth all the protests in the world if the Negro was not achievement.

Miss Florence Mills, the famous colored comeliness who "started" in "Blackbird," the life of his first wife, August, has died in a New York hospital after an operation for appendicitis. Miss Florence Mills was leading lady in "Blackbirds" when it ran for nine months, and the company three months ago because her husband, Mr. U. S. Thompson, wanted to team up with her engagement in England, suffering pain during the last three months of her marriage. The company ever, that her presence on tour was necessary to the success of "Blackbirds," she had to leave the company and return home after a few weeks, where Lawless staged "The Plantation," first came to mind in "Dover Street to Dinkle." This Negro cabaret had for a long time been the haunt of smart New Yorkers, the Negro grubber. Negro life and Negro entertainment became a craze. Heaven was written around this sort of life, and it became so fashionable that Miss Florence Mills, who was the greatest color entertainer appeared in England, was the daughter of a fried shave. She spent a considerable part of her in pleading for the greater emancipation of her colored brethren, and that she could show that black people were worthy of a better place in the world. In the cinderella tale of protecting they should do the best they could "Why a little color in the skin should make so much difference I do not know, she said. Only colored American aces to command the salary of a white star, and even four years ago she was receiving 5250 a week. To private charity she gave generously, and is said to have expended as much as $100,000. "Miss Mills was one of the most charming women stars I have ever met," said Captain Vincent Troubridge, manager of the Sirand Theatre, London. "She was a very kind and always most considerate to others. I have no doubt that she overtaxed her for something like five years she worked continuously without taking a holiday." From America's Leading Comedian in Europe I have just received the Amsterdam News, with the picture of Mrs. Hudgins, a young girl with a big smile, from friends asking for pictures, as it has been about five years since she had made, and it was really a surprise to every one to see her picture in the newspaper. I have been very busy rehearsing for the show, as I open up on the 25th of June, and I am ready to go to here to learn the titles and four comedy bits. Rather hard, as I don't speak French, but the titles are so hard to here at least two or three years to speak it properly. I am making an attempt to learn the titles and comedy bits. Never in my whole life of show business have I walked into a show for rehearsal. Never in my whole life of show business have I really made you feel as if you were human, same as they are. People are so hard to shun and shunned; and none of them seem to have the big head and want all of them to be their best efforts helping you with your lines and also try their hand and they do their best towards helping you with your lines and also try their hand. I find them all nice. From what I have seen there are a few Yank notes in the show, but they are very beautiful; these shows over here are known for their gorgeous costumes and Freddie Washington and Al. Moore are doing fine over here and are really a sensation. They have just returned from London, where they had wonderful THRU UNEXPECTED NEGOTIATIONS OF OUR GRADUATE MANAGER DUKE ELLINGTON'S GREAT JAZZMANIA ORCHESTRA (One of Broadway's Demands) WILL ALSO BE PRESENTED AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC --- THANKSGIVING NIGHT As an Added Attraction, Together With FLETCHER HENDERSON'S GREAT BROADWAY ORCHESTRA Expense Ceases to Be an Item in Making This the Greatest Classic Social Event Ever THRU UNEXPECTED NEGOTIATIONS OF OUR C DUKE ELLING GREAT JAZZMANIA ORCHI (One of Broadway's Demands) WILL ALSO BE PRESENTED AT ACADEMY OF MUSIC --- THANKS As an Added Attraction, Together FLETCHER HENDERSON'S GREAT BROADW Expense Ceases to Be an Item in Making This the Event Ever Mr. Romeo Dougherty, N.

We were just reading in the Amsterdam News telling of the wonderful reception on the phone and said she had just received a caption stating that Miss Mille had passed away at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and it was truly one of the worst surprises on the phone and said she had just received a caption stating that Miss Mille had passed away at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and it was truly one of the worst surprises on the phone and said she had just received a caption stating that Miss Mille had passed away at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and it was truly one of the worst surprises on the phone and said she had just left here. We could hardly believe it. All the English reading papers carried accounts of it over here, and also all the people you, as they are wonderful articles. It seemed just when she was at the height of her fame, she was mourned by many, both here in Paris and in London. As her last appearance was in England, she is still fresh in the minds of the English public and poetler, the French prizefighter and actor, and I were speaking of her and he were wonderful little article and she was and how much he admired her work. I really don't know how much she admired her work. I really don't know how much she admired her work. As you feel so far away from everyone over here, and there has been were home, as you feel so far away from everyone over here, and so it will feel quite strange to come home and mingle so many the old faces. I hope by this time next year I will be home to celebrate Xmas. I still receive my papers each and every week, thanks to you. Mrs. Hugding joins me and you are all our friends, and we truly hope you are enjoying the beauty of health. We will be hearing of Miss Milk, death. Will write you all about the show, when it comes. Thinking you kindly and looking forward to my Amsterdam News, as I really enjoy reading it and can hardly wait until it arrives each week, I will close with kindest regards and Sincerely yours, JOHNNY HUDGINS.

Dear Mr. Dougherty: I do not write soaking, but you know everything in this glorious city or country was so nao to me nousness. I pictured everything quite beaul, but not so beautiful as they are. I pictured everything in the King's palace. It is beautiful beyond description. Had pictures made in the tainsplay. The pictures were not very receive one. We also went to Fountainbeau and to Napoleon's Tomb. In containment walls we went through the Marble Maze. Marble Napoleon, Napoleon's chamber, library, reception salle and we also walked through the table where President Wilson labored while here. I can't begin to describe Tomb. We drove out to see Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and the Pan- deral. Napoleon was the oldest and greatest masters of France. The show here are most spectacular. They have in America. They depend solely upon uplity, which has a tendency to be a bit more recent than ten years behind our American production, for they can't even do the Charleston, would create a sensation here. Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Hudgins took me to the races at Longchamps a while ago, and the races at the old of the-season, and it was the most beautiful track I ever seen. Mrs. Hudgins had a big nose. We had no more than gotten in shape when the photographers, as many as they were, were asking permission to take our picture in front of Mrs. Hudgins looked beautiful in an entire outfit of French blue and gray. Mrs. Hudgins picked me out, for I had on all black. A Close Friend of the Beloved "Blackbird" for More Than Fifteen Years, Miss Green Took Miss Mills' Place as the Star of "Blackbirds" and Returned Home Recently. Tuesday, Oct. 19, we went to see the Al Brown and Albert Ryan bout, and it was the quickest knockout I ever saw. Mr. Brown knocked Ryall out in the second round, and he stayed out twenty minutes. Here is a clipping of the fight. The French people Idolize Al Brown. He is one of the most refined little gentlemen I have ever met. On the whole, our people are getting a nice example. Of course there's always a few bad eggs in every bunch. Some of the men and women have made good money and haven't a dime to show for it; others just, the opposite. Louis Mitchell has a lovely American restaurant at 35 Rue Planié and caters to the smartest people in France. I should say in Europe, for they come from all over. Mr. Mitchell is well known and beautifully thought of. Mr. and Mrs. Jones (meaning Florence and Palmer Jones) have the smartest cabaret here and cater to royalty and the ultra smart people of Europe. Oh, by the way, they opened a "Chez Florence" in New York Oct. 20, in 55th street. Mrs. Jones was one of the smartest dressed women in Paris. Know Theodore Browne? Dear Sir: You will confer on me a meeting to discuss emergency call for a man named Theo Theodore town, a upholsterer and cabinetmaker and shop, a fice shop and shop at 12 Railroad avenue. The object of this appeal is to ascertain the whereabouts of the father of the deceased, Drew S. Bishop and the Lafayette Piaye who invaded the South three years ago. I have had a glorious time sightseeing, so I've got to get down to business. I open Nov. 9 at the Green Park Hotel, Piscadilly, London, England. It is one of the smartest places in London. I am told, I am hooked by the biggest agency in Paris. They book Layton & Johnson, Johnny Hudgins and Morel & Frodd. I do not know when I will be home. I am mad about the freedom of Paris. Color means nothing over here. If anything, they treat the colored people better. I am told some of our performers have made conditions, very bad in London; so much so that they are beginning to refuse our people reservations in certain hotels. I will tell you more about conditions in London later. The above request if granted will be hiked and perhaps help to unify a family. Wishing for success in this effort, I beg to thank Professionally and sincerely, J. EIDERTON BROWNE, 1218 Avenue J, Enslay, Alm.

Why is Charles Oliph not allowed to exhibit his ability to portray a king or an Emperor Jones? Paul Johnson, with his tragic talent, could walk among the stones of Dune in Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Are these colored hordes on Broadway entertainers in the highest sense of Paris, Paris, and Layton and Johnstone in London? Or are they merely bounces on seeking, pleasure. What of the Negro on Broadway? BY ELLA ALBERT BROWN, A. B. (For Preston News Service.) DOES the unprecedented demand for Negro performers on Broadway for the coming theatre season indicate the prominent place in the sunshine of the dramatic world? Or does this record- ers show only that the Nordic has exhausted his own dramatic resources for a new look in looking for new fields to conquer? While these Negro entertainers may be making what is called "real money" in the big box, they may not at all appreciate self-respect and dignity of our group. May the good necering from this "unprecedented" group be made more formulars on Broadway far outweigh anything hurtful to the race. BLEDSOE ENGAGED FOR "SHOW BOAT" Many of our group will, doubtless, refuse at these headlines that flare in the white, newspapers—"Hordes of Colored Players Swoop on Broadway"—and if this opportunity for the Negro to exhibit his dramatic ability perchance discloses a John Drew, a Forbes Robin von, a Richard Mansfield, a Lew Rockstadder, a Julia Marlowe or a Sarah Bernhardt amongst us, this will be indeed a golden opportunity—but if these "hordes of colored players" which are swooping down on Broadway are only exploiting the race for the amusement of their pale face brethren through vulgar song and dance and buffoonery—then it is indeed a tragedy for us. Long has the white man used the Negro in song and story, as jester and clown for his amusement: Wero it not for the Negro; Octavius's Roy Cohen and several other American writers would be hard put to it for plots and material for much of their absurd but profitable fiction. Julius Bledsoe, whom critics have dubbed one of the greatest colored actors for his performance last season in the principal role of the Provincetown Playhouse's production of "in Abraham's Bosson," has that been engaged by Flo Ziegfeld to play one of the leading roles of his forthcoming production of "Show Boat" now in rehearsal. Immediately Bledsoe changed his first name from Julius to Jules and henceforth he will be known as Jules Bledsoe. It is said that the role that Ziegfeld played in "Show Boat" is one that will give him a fine chance to display the voice that he used to such good advantage in the shortlisted but nevertheless beautiful production of "Deep River." On her return from France and England, the late Miss Mills, holding out for 13,500 weekly contract, shows that she has acquired hard common sense at least during her sojourn in foreign parts. We all know that the Negro artist is being exploited for profit only. "Rang Tang," all Negro show, until recently, occupying one of the largest houses in Times Square, is playing to practically an all white patronage. Yet inside from the two main comedians, what real talent is displayed anywhere outside of the orchestra? The Nordic is so easily pleased with most anything the Negro comedian offers him, but the intelligentsia of our own folk are more particular when it comes to exhibitions of histrionale talent. 8th Annual Recital HARRY AND LAURA PRAMPIN School of Music THURS., NOV. 17, 1927 MANHATTAN CASINO Subscription, $1.00 Boxes, $5.00 Loges, $3.00 The announcement that two of last year's club operated by Texas Gulman, who should not be considered so very outstriking after all.

Saved in Thrilling Rescue When fire broke out late Wednesday afternoon in the home of Thomas H. Matters, Jr., lawyer, of Bay avenue, near West Drive, Douglas Manor, the two smaller children of the Matters family. Jean, 1 year, and Robert, 3, were carried to safety by their malt. Mrs. Ella Britton. The flames were rapidly eating their way from the basement to the first floor of the house when they were discovered, but the presence in the house of the mold resulted in the rescue of the two small children. Firemen of the Douglas Hose Co. and Active Hook and Ladder Co. of Little Neck fought the flames for more than an hour before they were under control. The entire basement of the building was gutted by the flames and the first and second floors were damaged considerably by smoke and water. The damage is estimated at between $4,000 and $5,000.

Hicks turned in an alarm from a book half a week away and the Dougland station and Little Neck's companies responded and started to fight the flames under the direction of Foreman Szyna.

Informal Reception at Butler Home Election Night The members of the Borough Civic Association held an informal reception at the home of Benjamin F. Butler Jr., 1720 Fulton Street, on Election Night. Luther M. Johnson is president of the organization. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. George E. Wilbean Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Butler Jr., and Mrs. Arthur Boyer, A. Jerome Loring, Henry L. Parker, Leroy Sumner, David T. Duckett, William Savage, Clarence Sherman, William Rennix, H. L. Butler, Josiah Johnson and Paul Jones. After the reception of election returns the jovial company partook of an elaborate repast and refreshments that had been prepared by the charming hostess. This organization supported Rufus I. Perry and played a prominent part in securing over 22,000 votes, the largest a Socialist has ever received in this county. They also supported Judge Lawrence Fish because of his known friendship for the Negro. Cites Bible in Support Of Sudanese Polygamy Paul Emanuel La Bagda of one of the nearly extinct black races of the Sudanese, and some times referred to as the "Lost Tribe" and descendants of Israel, graphically described the customs of his people a few evenings ago before the Men's Club of the Temple Beth Emeth, Jewish, located at Church Avenue and Marlborough road. La Bagola spoke in highly comprehensible English, but caused a little shock when he told his audience that his countrymen sincerely believed in polygamy. He stated their religion was based strictly on the Bible. La Bagola's ancestors, he stated, settled in Africa 2,500 years ago.

Likely Be There in the Pinches — Dropped Game to Crack Triangles Sunday Night (By FRANCIS.) On Sunday night, at the Renaissance Casino, the people went wild when announcement was made that Manager Bob Douglas had secured the world-basting Original Celtic team to meet the Renaissance Five at Manhattan Casino Thanksgiving night. This will mark the first of a even-game series, the winner of the majority of these games to wear the logo of world champions. The Celtics are risking their title early and with everything toain will uncover their heavy artillery early in this game. This contest lives promise of great possibilities for the Renaissance, for while they have been getting into their strids, stiff opposition always brought out the best in the Douglas men. The Vestition Triangles champions of the Metropolitan League came up Manhattan Casino on election night and handed the Renaissance their second defeat of the season, by the score 4-0. The white champions from acroma bridge cleanly outplayed our boys every departure, our team throughout the engagement as if the famous reputation of the colored hampions did not mean a thing in young lives. Renaissance led for a few brief moments at the start of the game, but the Visitationists cut down this lead, and were never headed during the rest of the game. The colored champions have yet to ash a sustained, five man, Renaissance game, the kind that made them After receiving this rough treatment the hands of one Brooklyn team, the benissaance team, and the benissaance night, and defended the hard laying card Brilliant Nonpartal Big live by the score of 18 to 23. Anyone else action knows that it is a manned job to defeat them on their home court at Arcadia Hall in Brooklyn, but the benissaance team is losing Tuesday night on their own court in Harlem, turned round and defeated just as good a team the next night on their opponents' court. They continued their winning streak by trimming the New York Professionals, on the benissaance court on Wednesday, on the champions won handily as the cores will indicate, but their game did not show the quirk of our team. It is possible that they need more work, or pernique some of the phykers have lost, or are owing, their prize money for old Benissaance snag and dash and the old unerking basket is miss! The season is their games on the home court, their phykers on the nonpartal Big, we wonder that Manager Bob has noticed? They are making considerably less than 50 per cent of their free tries, usually better that average. In the Vistation game, Renanceisance could only lunge 10 out of 25, while the right-handed champions made but 16 out of 34, to their opponents' 9 out of 15. Not a creditable showing for champion. In a close game these-free shots hell when made. What say about remedying this condition, boys? Renanceisance will lift up against the Ploneers of Passaic, N. J., who are bringing three bus load full of fans to root for their team, Renanceisance. It will go up to the game early, so as to avoid se rush.

PHILA SET FOR GAME AND DANCE Students' Committee Complete Arrangements for Reception Thanksgiving Night PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 14—Announcement was made Monday that the biennial affair staged at the Academy of Music in connection with the Howe-Lynch football game. Thanksgiving will be the greatest in the history of the football classic. Music will be by the famous Fletcher Henderson. This reception will be under the direct supervision of a students' reception committee, composed of students of Howe-Lynch and all university students, and promises to be one of the most brilliant assemblages of college and social celebrities ever held. Until the conclusion of Fletcher Henderson, Broadway's great orchestral combination will be presented. Fletcher Henderson has been heralded as one of the greatest opera leaders of the Great White Way. For the past ten years the Academy of Music has been the Mecca for those interested in the relationship between Howard and Lincoln universities in Philadelphia every year. Over 6,000 troubled in this beautiful institution at a reception on Thanksgiving Day 1928. The Academy of Music itself is an architectural wonder, with its movable crystal floor, which is the highlight of the building, the corps of 200 master doormen within four hours on Thanksgiving Day. The honorary hookholders will be the faculty of the Mecca university football teams and the cheering squads of both schools.

CELTICS IN TITLE CLASH THANKSGIVING Lincoln-Howard Classic Now in the Spotlight --- Minister Among Grid Men Minister Among Grid Men WHEN the All-Southern Collegians, the Negro professional football team of the South, lined up against the MacMonigle Blue Devils, Brooklyn's professional football team, Saturday afternoon at Erasmus Field, the Southern eleven had in its ranks a minister in the person of George K. Smith. In various branches of sport clergymen have competed in the past. Many youths have represented colleges and clubs in athletic competition while studying for the ministry. But George K. Smith is the first ordained minister to make his bow in the realm of professional football. The visiting eleven arrived in Brooklyn with a fine record, being regarded not only as the best colored eleven playing but also as one of the leading independent professional aggregations. The teams, which is composed of former students of Tuskegee, Howard and Lincoln universities, among others, hails from Virginia and travels throughout the country. Prior to the game an exhibition in drop kicking was given by A. C. Jackson, greatest colored kicker in football. He is the brother of B. H. Jackson, promoter of the team. Can Lincoln Come From the Rear? THE day for the classic is almost at hand, and the question which is being asked is what will Lincoln be able to do against Howard this year? The team this year has made the worst record in the history of Lincoln athletics. Coach Morrison, in entering upon his duties as mentor at Lincoln, found little in the way of first class seasoned material. Most of the old men who have helped to bring fame and glory to Lincoln's football teams have been graduated, and those who were left over from last year were not very well seasoned. The proposition which the coach has had this year has been to revamp the old material and develop a squad of promising but inexperienced raw material. This has been a rather difficult problem to solve, and because of this situation there was in the beginning of the year a slump in morale and the famous "Old Lincoln Spirit," which has permeated all of its teams in years gone by, was apparently missing, and the student body did not seem to rally to the support of the team. Things were going from bad to worse and each week simply produced another defeat. But just prior to the Tuskegee-Lincoln game three of the alumni, Dr. W. G. Alexander, graduate manager; Dr. C. P. McClendon and Mr. William Ashby, visited the institution and were responsible for the greatest demonstration and revival of spirit that has ever been known at Lincoln. The enthusiasm manifested in the singing and cheering was spontaneous and contagious, and the whole student body pledged itself to stand behind the team, and reaffirmed its allegiance to the slogan, "Win or lose I stand for Lincoln."

GOLD AND GREEN LEFT THE FIELD Question of Legality of Touchdown Mars Howard-Wilberforce Game Question of Legality of Touchdown Mars Howard-Wilberforce Game Wilberforce University, Ohio, November 7, 1927. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Sporting Editor, N. Y. Amsterdam News, New York City, N. Y. Dear Shir I admit that it was not good sportsmanship to have the Witherforce football team leave the field in protest of an official's decision at Howard University Saturday, November 5, yet, as chairman of the Athletic Council, Witherforce University, I assume full responsibility for their actions, as there are times and circumstances when even good sportsmanship ceases to be a virtue. Respectfully, CIAS, F. POINTS JR., Chairman Athletic Council. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Howard University football eleven, with renewed fight and drive, downed the Gold and Green of Witherforce in the final few minutes of play in one of the hardest efridron struggles ever witnessed on the Howard campus. From the opening whistle the Howard team looked like the team of old, with Captain Martin, Tyson, Young and Payne bearing the brunt of the work which resulted At the end of the first half the score was 0-0. Howard having a slight advantage, offensively, the defenses half Jack Coles replaced Payne at center and ran the team until he was injured and had to be removed. Payne was able to recover and men until the final moments of play, when "Tick" Smith, by pretty broken field running, broke through the Wilberforce team ball but he practically downed, but with renewed energy and vigor came to his feet and made the most brilliant run of the game, ball beating the Wilberforce going the victory to Howard by a score of 5 to 0. This play by "Tick" Smith, which was declared the fourth of four offensives, displaced the Wilberforce players. After the referee refused to call the ball the conch of the Wilberforce team withdrew his ball, Howard scored 10 to Howard by forfeiture, score 1-0. Inspiring speeches were made by these three alumni members, the coach, members of the faculty, representatives from each class, the captain of the team and several individual members of the team. This reincarnation of spirit was very evident in the Tuskegee game, for, among other things, there was a manifestation of fighting spirit that did not lag throughout the game, and this same light was evidenced in the West Virginia game. The officials were; A. K. Savoy, defense; A. H. Head,UMC,UMC in Washington, head K. Head, and E. B. Henderson, field judge, all members of the Eastern Board of Officers. There were quite hearty condemnation of the action of the Wilberforce coach in calling his men from the field to the football field. Howard. Each of the four officials joined in the decision that "Tick Smith's touchdown was altogether And it is thoroughly understood that no matter what may take place in the scraps between Lincoln and other teams, it is another story when Lincoln meets Howard. Lincoln teams always seem to feel that they have Howard's "goat" and they go into the classic with a feeling of confidence which can only be overcome by a superior team. Although there is a string of defeats behind Lincoln throughout this season, the men are, nevertheless, going into the Howard game fully confident of victory, as Howard shares the same feeling. Although of the team, he has not at all times been brilliant, yet the men under Conch Morrison are better material than one would think from the scores in the past. In Temple Lincoln has a capable end who is in on every play, and Allen, Snowden, Jenkins and Avery afford a sufficiency of material for both ends to make these positions secure. At tackle Wells and Hill are thoroughly versed in their positions. They are aggressive and always on the jump. Douglas, Freeman and Sydnor form a group of tackle material that will fall in when called upon at any time during the game. Both Bryant and Robinson have proven to be sterling guards, and when necessity arises they can be replaced by Scott, Wimberly, Waters, Ken and Frazier. All of these men are thoroughly capable and experienced. One of the most experienced men on the team is Dyer at center. He is playing by far the best game he has evidenced since coming to Lincoln, and there is an abundance of substitute material in Young, Kingz, Olds and Jason. At quarterback there is no one playing today who is better as a field general and more dazzling in carrying the ball than Hibbler. He is always a dangerous man. Jackson has been running him a close second all the year, and Chambers and Carter are reliable substitutes. In the halfback positions Motley and Preston are heady and sure ground gainers. Clark, who sustained an injury in the Hampton game, is again on the field. Old reliable "Julie" Martin is prepared to take his place in the back field. Harmon, Kild Hibbler, Taylor, Mahood, Gray, Ross and Mackey can take the place of any regular without affecting the smooth running of the team. La Mar at fullback is the sensation of the season. His kicking is truly wonderful, and he has close runners-up in Charleston and Bennett. Referee. A. K. Savoy; urpire. Haley Dougain; head lineman. B. Washington; field judge. E. B. Henderson.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. H1IS condition—cancer of the tongue—is often seen. The actual cause is not yet known, but medical opinion believes that its increase in recent years is due to two causes: first, a predisposing cause; second, an exciting cause. The predisposing cause is the degenerative change taking place in the tissues of the body, the tongue included, resulting from syphilitic infection. This degenerative change of the cells is accentuated by non-treatment of the syphilitic disease and the constant indulgence in alcohol. The exciting cause of cancer of the tongue is local irritation. The constant use of tobacco, with the hot smoke and gases from pine, cigar or cigarette, is common in the mouth of the tongue in irritation. In infection in the mouth from pyrrohea and defective teeth often acts as mouth irritations. If these exciting local irritations in the mouth are existing for any length of time, and syphilis is also present in the system and no treatment has been given for the eradication then cancer of the tongue has all the predisposing and exciting causes for its occurrence. In such individuals, cancer of the tongue may occur at any time. There are individuals who have a predisposition to cancer. There is no method to detect who these individuals are. The safest way is for all people to avoid the excit- W HO knoweth love, knows light Brighter than suns, combined; Who knoweth not is blind And gropeth mid the night. Who knoweth love, knows life— Height, depth, intensity; For only liveth he Who knows love's toil and strife. Who knoweth love, knows pain, And suffering, and woe; Who without these would know True love, hopeth in vain.

For who hath not transgressed, Yielding to love's beset, Or hath not erring been! Who knoweth God above. From mortal eyes concealed, Know Him but as revealed Through ministry of love! —R. A. ADAMS. "Cherchez Femme" THIS tense axiom properly translated reads: "Seek the woman," or, as commonly used, "Look for the woman." It has reference to crime, to mysteries, to tragedies, and it instigulates that, as a rule, there is some woman involved in the crime. No doubt women have been connected with every crime, all the mysteries and all of the tragedies since Eve caused Adam to fall in Eden. And it is practically certain that they play a large part in crimes and tragedies, which are prevalent and are threatening the production of our boasted civilization. The Trojan War was fought for the possession of beautiful Helen of Troy, wife of Menelaus, after she had been carried away by the youthful Paris. It required the most officers to drag daenas away from Dido, Queen of Carthage, that he might save his own country. Both Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony almost lost their kingdoms and their lives because of their infaction for Cleopatra. Queen of Egypt, known as the "Serpent of the Nile" and that the story through all enquiry! The downfall of the giant Samson was due to his love for Delliah, who treacherously betrayed and ruined him, David, the singer of beautiful songs, fell from grace because he fell in love with Bathsheba, the beautifull hero woman of the Hildebrand Morro woman* Poor Hildebrand, the man who pathetically warned men against the wiles of the "strange woman," was a voluptuary, a libertine, an ambecile and a pitiful apostate as the result of loving so many women. Ammon, another son of David, raped his own sister, Tamar, and was killed by her brother, Salalom. John the Apostle, dered by Heard because Herod entertained with Salome, the beautiful daughter of his own brother. in nearly every such case the man loved the woman or was at least infatuated with her and the crimes and tragedies were the result of jealousy, sudden anger, desire to please or to possess or avenge. But almost invulnerable there was a woman that "lazed" but that a woman "kicked" and the help of woman is in evidence, history records many, many of the benign infu- ing local irritations, and constitutional defects, which may start a cancerous growth. At the present time, syphilis is more prevalent than in previous years, and the consumption of tobacco has risen greatly. Much of this tobacco is smoked in the form of cigarettes, and women now urge and increase numbers. In follows, therefore, that if matters are allowed to continue as they are, there will be a high increase in the number of persons suffering from cancer of the tongue. Such an increase of cancer of the tongue can be prevented by a thorough treatment of syphilis in its early stage; and by syphilis with the use of alcohol drinking. Visit the dentist regularly in order to avoid pyrexia or defects in the teeth. DWS ADAMS ever surpassed Queen Victoria of Great Britain. In measuring up the duties and responsibilities of motherhood, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was a paragon of loyalty and womanly excellence. In the field of literature many women have made tremendous contributions to human betterment. By helping, encouraging and inspiring men, women have done marvelous things for humanity. As wives and mothers they have wrought as only God knows. And in all these ways they have been to the world great benefactors and saviors. Yes, "seek the woman," but when there is good done, also seek her as the actuating influence and give her credit for this good and it will be found that the good she has done and is doing is infinitely greater there than when the evil is concerned. "Seek the woman." Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN Dear Eggypsy Ann: What do you advise me to do in this case? My husband is a very good man when he is not drunk. He will strangle my about a month and then get intoxicated and do all sort of mean things. He hits and knocks me about and pinches me so hard that I have to cry. When he is so eager he is so good. We talk together and he tells me how sorry he is for what he does when he is drunk and he asks me to help him go straight. God knows, Eggyan Ann, I am the one I have been living this kind of life for eight years and I have become thin and fagged out. Besides, we have a seven-year-old son, who is a beautiful little fellow and very smart in school. He has seen his father strike me and several times he has pounded his fathers back and tried to protect me. Shall I break up my home? My mother has offered to let me live with her and I am thinking strongly of doing so. My husband loves his little boy and he made me promise not to leave him when he gets his fits on May God bless you, Eggyan Ann, SORROWFUL. Dear Sorrowful, For your own sake and for your child's sake I advise you to separate. You are a typical woman in that for a long time you have stood by and forgiven the man you love. But there is an end to everything, and the sooner you put an end to this, the sooner you'll put on some flesh, strengthen. Remember he's not a proper character for sonny. You might give him one more chance. I doubt if he'll take you seriously, though. Tell him that the very next time he gets drunk you are going to leave him for good, and see that you make your word final. It will be hard for him to change now as the habit is too in-grown. Just pack your suitcase and get ready to go where the very next time he sidesteps. Similarly, EGYPSY ANN. Dear Egypsy Ann: I had an appointment with my girl. Ten minutes before I left the house she called me on the phone and said that she was too sick to keep it. Feeling all sympathy, I called myhow and brought her some flowers. I rang the bell and her mother answered it. Her mother informed me that her daughter had gone to NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16, 1927 Rogers Visits Antwerp and Hears Music Galore ANTWERP. THIS city is noted as being the home of Rubens, the great painter, and as a port to which come ships from all over the world, but, to me, it will stand out as the city of music—music, good, bad, indifferent and exercrable, mostly the last. In front of the station, on arrival, I heard, a hand-organ; before I had gone five blocks on the main street I saw six others, two on side streets; in a square, before the statue of Rubens, a band was playing, not to mention lone minstrels, one of which had a large monkey. At the waterfront—where on some streets every door is a saloon—each saloon worthy of the name has a mechanical organ of circus size going at full blast and creating a combination of sounds that cease to be music, even in its worst possible form, and become bedlam. I must insist that I am not exaggerating. This last mentioned cacophony simply has to be heard to be believed. Sunday comes. Bands of workmen parade the streets, the number of hand-organs and lone musicians playing before the cafes increase, while the mechanical organs begin earlier. But that is not that, but truthfully, that, sleeping or waking, warpers are never out of music for more than seven minutes at a time. There is a cathedral, Notre Dame, on which is one of the largest clocks ever made. This clock chimes every seven and a half minutes, plays a short tune at the quarter of an hour and a long one at the half hour. At the half hour it strikes the bell, that is to say, at 11:30 it strikes twelve, and twelve again at 12. While in this city I happened to find a room just beside the cathedral, and when the huge bell rang for Sunday services the vibration seemed to go through every tissue of my body, simply overwhelming me. The man who invented that clock entirely 'same near inventing peripheries of the house, which are not polite of me, as the Antwerpers are very proud of their clock. They, however, have been listening to it for several hundred years. Had Shakespeare lived in Antwerp that famous line: "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" might never have been written, or he might have said something about music making little breast savage. But the Fleming does not seem to mind it; they are a tolerant and merry people. Antwerp is one of the great seaports of the world and on the waterfront may be seen men of almost every ethnic origin. Negroes, mostly from the Congo, are plentiful. There are also some white men, and they wear dales, many of whom are stranded and would be glad to swim back home, if they could. In every one the theatre and that she thought it was strange that it wasn't I she went with. Her mother is indignant and has asked me to forgive the girl. This has been a week ago. I haven't been around since. Please advise. JACK. Dear Jack: For pity's sake, don't be such a nimpoon. You just let that girl apologize for herself. If she causes me for you, she will. The trouble is that she is too sure of you. Don't let her use you for a sucker. Make yourself scarce and step out with the other girls, even if you do forgive her (which I suppose you will). Anyhow, don't appear so devoted to her and she'll like you better. Good luck from EGPSY ANN. Can You Tell? 1. Where is the U. S. Negro Veterans' Hospital located? 2. Who was Jupiter Hammond? 3.

ROGERS of these large seaports I have visited—Marsellies, Havre, London, Rotterdam—it is the same old story. Some of these colored men resort to anything to get money and, as I suspected and later learned, to buy them. A Dutch Indian and a New Yorker, both of whom had served long terms in English prisons, were planning to dope me and then rob me. But perhaps more of that story another time. I saw some of these men live was a mystery to me for a long time until I discovered that the plan. — J. A. Rogers — on arriving in a port where they were paid off, was to pay the landlady something in advance. If that sum ran out before they got another ship, they would remain with her until they did get another ship, on a promise of payment. Some, as I learned, owed over a thousand francs. Few are ever turned out, as "hope springs eternal in the human breast," including that of landlades. Kindness undoubtedly also has something to with Europe, exploits Africa, and the latter returns the compliment. The fact is, these colored and white folk get along well, as in other parts of Europe. When the Negro has money he spends it liberally. He fraternizes not only in the low-class cafes, but in the better ones, too. Into some of the latter comes the whole family, including the young children, to drink beer and to dance. Here are a father, mother and two daughters, one of whom is a teacher, the other a lawyer. They dance to the apparent unconcern of everyone but myself. I am merely recording what I have seen—what anyone can see. In the meantime, my American training is telling me, as it so often does, that these people and thousands more I have met ought to be up a maidhouse. One sign of my misness is that say, is violent departure from natural human conduct. The Europeans, the ancestors of white Americans, depart so violently from our doctrines of the inherent antipathy between white and physical difference" which is Abraham Lincoln declared, "will forbid the two races from living on terms of social and political equality," that there seems nothing else for me to do but to declare them insane. And a singular fact is that the Your Horoscope By THEARCHER November 16 ushers in a birthday that favors those of this date who are in positions of authority; those who are lawyers, ministers; and those who work in financial institutions. Ill health and accidents are indicated, and unless these people are very careful in this respect, there will be a corresponding financial loss. However, the income should be larger than the expenses. November 17 brings a birthday that absorbs much of the influence of yesterday's vibrations, but there is a greater inclination to ill health and loss unless care is used by these people. The faintest vibrations are much stronger for these people of today. They will probably be forced to take up some new endeavor. Those of this date who are clerical workers, writers and speakers are most favored. November 19 brings with it a who are employed or in business. However, there will be much expense, probably from hospital or medical bills incurred by injury from sudden accidents or carelessness. Friendship or marriage to an elderly person is indicated or whose folks of today, Quarrels and adulterate speech will cause some trouble. November 19 brings with it a romantic year with marriage or resumption of marriage ties that have been broken. These romantic urges are likely to be sudden in their effect. The money problem will be less difficult for those of this date. Employment and business are slightly unfavorable, and will require good judgment and taut in these fields. November 20 leaves the destiny American Negro, broadly speaking, is further advanced than the European one, except in one thing—the European Negro has greater self-respect. He does not straighten his hair, and the few Negro women one sees might as well be straightening their hair, straightening their establishment, instead of three thousand. They wear their hair straight up and kinky, like the men. This is the European's style, and some time ago a Negro lady from the States went to an establishment—a white one, the only ones—to have her hair done, and, to her consternation, the coiffeuse, instead of straightening it, began to kink it more, a la Wade, and the matter worse, the American lady couldn't explain what she wanted. In one of these Antwerp cafes I saw an interesting dog. When a bit of berry was held before him and the word "Deutsch" (German) was uttered, he'd lay his ears back, growl angrily, and refuse to touch it, in spite of his fondness for swedals. Say "Belge" (Belgian), however, and he took it out of your hand, which proves that one doesn't need brains to be a patrol. Among the most interesting sights of Antwerp are the following: the River Scheldt, with its long line of shipping, including the Congo flotilla; Notre Dame Cathedral, with the clock and two masterpieces of Rubens; the Plantin Museum, home of Christopher Plantin, the famous printer; the diamond trading cafes, where diamonds can be bought cheaply for the house; the Royal Flemish Opera House, and the Royal Art Museum. In this museum Rubens is, of course, the favorite. A grand hall is devoted to his works. But, speaking as a rank amateur, I think his pupil, Van Dyck, was his master. As a portrait painter Rubens was, perhaps, the equal of the best; but to me, a hopeless realist, the figures in his pictures seem on parade. They seem too much product of a stiff negationation of there being a sameness of faces in all of them. His two wives appear in hundreds of them in all manner of poses. Rubens is catalogued with more than 1,300 paintings, many of which are said to have been done by his students. His practice was to find out what each student could do and, after designing the picture, he would set him to work on his forte. Rubens himself, it is said, executed only those pictures for which he got large sums. It is also said that he was jealous of Van Dyck and sent him away to England, where he lived, also, that Dyck went to England, where he became a favorite at the court of Charles I, setting a style in beards. Speaking again as an amateur, I saw the finest picture in this museum in the work of Verlat. He also paints religious pictures, but he brings in human, every-day figures, in his "Christ or Barabas" one sees that he must have gone to the East and got his figures at the Acre. He also paints lattes—just the same sort of crowd I saw in Morocco. His "Vox Populi; Vox Dei" is unforgettable, both for its satire and its naturalness; while his "Defense of the Hord," a scene in which a wild buffalo charges an lion, pinning him to the earth, is certainly one of the most vigorous manifestations of genius I have ever seen. A remarkable sight is a statue in front of the Town Hall. It deplays a giant lying with head and hand cut off from which wa- of the year to those of this date who can make it either good or bad. There are no very important adverse or favorable aspects. Money will come as it is needed, and the social life will be quite pleasant. A moderate amount of care in the diet is needed. November 21 is much like the birthdate of yesterday, but the approaching square of the Sun to Neptune will influence some of these people unfavorably, and in turn cause areas of judgment causing them distress from impure canned goods and liquids. This also tends to cause deception to be practiced upon or by those of this date. November 22 continues the adverse influence, and with stronger force. These people should be especially careful of the purity of the canned goods and liquids that they consume. Those who are employed are well favored, except those who work in oils or liquids. Those who do clerical work, write, speak and are artists are also well favored by this, birthyear. This date ends the transit of the sun through the Scorpion, the Scorpion, and begins the transit of the sun through another sign of the zodiac. It gives the people of the new sign altogether different tendencies from their Scorpion brothers and sisters. Know New York State For two months in 1797 the Executive Mansion was in New York State. This was when President John Adams left Philadelphia, then the capital, and made his home at East Chester, Westchester County, to escape a plague of yellow fever. The first municipal carillon, or chimes, in the country has been installed in the City Hall at Albany, New York. It consists of 60 bolls. Men of Every Ethnic Origin Seen on Waterfront ter is spouting, while high aloft is a youth in the act of running and throwing a hand. For some time just what this meant puzzled me. Later I learned it stood for a legend from which Antwerp got its name. It is the ship that a giant used to live in that the sailors and hindered the shipping, until a relative of Julius Caesar, by marriage, came on the scene, cut off his hand and throw it away. Hence the Dutch "hand-werpen," to throw the hand. The cost of living in Antwerp, as parts of Belgium, while high for pottery, is very cheap for an American or, for the matter, for an Englishman or Swiss or anyone coming from a country with high exchange. The Belgian franc is even lower than the French—140 of the first for 100 of the second. A first-class meal in a good restaurant may be six sixty cents; a good meal of six sixty cents; a good meal and a fine room for nine cents. For this reason many Belgians resent Americans coming to their country now. One man in Brussels actually drove me out of his hotel when he saw my American passport. He had shown me a room at a price far higher than in Paris, and even higher than in York. I protested that the figure we saw was exorbitant; but, as I was too lazy to search for, I decided to take it for the night. In all European hotels one is compelled to fill out a blank giving his full pedigree, telling where and why he was born, etc. While I was filling out this blank the man was content to argue with me, telling me that I should remember that the Belgian rate of exchange was lower than the French, and so on. When, however, I showed him my passport and he saw that American, the vials of his wrath, the spoiled peeped. "Get out of my plan!" he shouted; "get out! You Americans come to our country and expect to live for nothing! Get out at once." It was on the tip of my tongue to tell him that if it were not for the Americans he'd still be furnishing beds free to Germans instead. But I said nothing for two reasons: first, I keep out of these national arguments—the race one has been thrust upon, me, and that's enough; second, I have so far discovered but, one effective way, to look for things whose brand of lunacy he religious, racial, or national, and that is to give them a liberal dose of ignoring. Later, as luck had it, I found a better room with a fine couple at one-third less. The above incident illustrates what I have said before, namely, that the difference between Europe and America is that in the former the strong point is nationality; in the latter, it is race. Europe and America are of European nations; none too friendly, more or less united through fear of the Negro. The Belgian landlord just mentioned exploded on me because of nationality, just as a Floridian or Virginian would because of color. Had it been a Belgian Negro, he would not have acted in that manner. In America he would hold the citizen who would be refused, and the white Belgian accepted. In my next I will tell something of Holland and the Dutch people. In which weigh 56,000 pounds, and have a range of four octaves. The people of the Empire State have not incomes totalling nearly five billion dollars a year. This is than those of any other State, but ten-tenth of the net income of the whole country. Long Island, New York, is the greatest duck-raising center in the world. Three million white Pekin ducks are produced yearly, all tracing back to a flock of nine brought from Pekin, China, in 1873. Of the fifty largest banks in the country, twenty-one are in New York City, and seven of the country's first ten banks and trust companies are also in the metropolis. University, college and professional school libraries in New York State contain nearly four million books, a record among the States. Massachusetts comes second and Illinois third. Pen Pointers By CLIFFORD L. MILLER. Nobility of soul reveals itself in generosity. Self-contempt is the chasm over which countless thousands of our youth fall to destruction. Ride your child on your back too long and you destroy his capacity to walk. Don't screech a siren in your soul to attract others. If the warres of your soul are worthwhile, many will stop and admire. Payra laborer before his work is done and you remove the incentive that keeps him working. THE fashion of giving card parties at all seasons of the year is in such favor that it is necessary to be a good player if one would go out much in society. Classes are formed for practice, and a competent teacher is employed for courses or lessons. Thus, when invitations to card parties arrive, you may be sufficiently versed on the general rules to be able to take part without inconvenience to the other players. People who do not know how to play cards in these days must make haste to learn, if they would keep up with a popular diversion. In fact, those who are ignorant of the games hesitate to accept invitations to card parties, fearing to spoil the pleasure of others, besides being a tax on their hostess. Players should be rather equally matched, and while it may not be necessary to be a scientific player, except in Bridge, it is old-fashioned and unpardonable for a guest at a card party not to understand the game. A hostess who proposes to give a card party should be reasonably sure that her guests have some knowledge of the games to be played. Bridge and "500" are the popular games at present—clubs are rapidly organizing to perfect the art. Seven or eight-handed euchre admits of asking any convenient number of people. The hostess does not always play, but if she prefers to play, and should win a prize, she gives it to a guest. COLORFUL "MOVIES" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE To club and private card parties, friends are invited by informal notes or formal invitations in the third person, or the cards of the host may do duty with the word "Bridesmaid" or the word "Echeat at three o'clock" written on the card, with the date and R. S. V. P. Guests are expected to reply by note, without delay and definitely, to an invitation to a card party, so that a hostess may invite a guest or may fill the places of those guests able to come. Tables and chairs in sufficient number to accommodate guests are arranged in the rooms. A dressing-room, where ladies may leave their wraps, should be provided. Hats are not worn in an afternoon party. Gloves are removed when playing cards. The hostess usually decides where guests are to be seated at tables and, after greeting them, directs them to their places. Tables are usually filled as guests arrive, and the content to be assigned quickly. A more formal way is to have lists of names and assign guests to certain tables. Name-cards may be used as at a dinner. Then, too, guests are given the honor of drawing tally cards on which are issued the table number and partner. The usual limit of time for play The Price of a Tip JUST what is the price of a tip? Does it exact its weight in pride and dignity, or is it, in fact, an economic consolation, which takes the hallast out of bed, board and the landlord's bill? It seems to us, now that the tide of argument is raging around the Pullman Porters' wage controversy, the factors to be weighted before the "tipping owl" is landed or assailed. If we were to define a tip we would say that it is compound interest or a form of bonus which derives its financial strength or weakness from the wealth of the donor, coupled with the service, personality and general foresightedness of the donee. It is true that a tip is a fluctuating type of compensation, which requires a measure of value; and yet, just as sometimes what you make it, a tip is frequently just what it is made. The writer recalls a musical service rendered last summer in the vicinity of New York, for which "The Right Quintet," New York's premiere vocal and instrumental entertainers, were "tipped" one hundred times, worth of entrancing music. This tip increased their income that night more than one hundred per cent. A railroad porter, whose run was from New York to Louisville, and who reached the latter city at 12:45 p.m., only to double back at 5:43, told us he was simply a "tipped" tip, because he would be "tipped" right into immediate prosperity by the time he reached New York. A bootback's tipping profits are usually 50 per cent of the "shine." A dining-car waiter's tip, we understand, is frequently 20 per cent. Coming back, however, in our first theme, the price of a tip is like Joseph's cost of many colors. The price of a tip is measured Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Self-Condemnation IF YOU must be condemned, let others do it. Be your own best friend, support and counselor. Refuse to admit yourself defeated until there is not even the ruthless ray of hope for success. Stand by yourself. Bolster your own courage. Bite down on your up and tighten your belt—then go after it again, believing in yourself. As long as you breathe—hope! ing is two hours, and when that time is approaching the hostess announces the fact. Score cards and gifts can be purchased "very reasonably and are necessary to carry out the program." The managers of the prizes are expected to express to the hostess pleasure in receiving the gift. A "consolation" or "booby" prize is usually given the maker of the lowest score. This prize is never an expensive best taste in not displaying a fragrance in the selection of prizes. A card party is an easy form of entertainment, for the reason that guests amuse themselves. There is plenty of fun and laughter and the friendly rivalry in prize-winning adds to the sheet of the occasion. Hard losers should not accuse the hostess of social card games. In case you have to play with some one who is not an expert, do not lose your temper! A hostess may include many guests in one afternoon by sending invitations for a card party for three o'clock to those who would like to play cards, and by sending cards for tea at five toppers who are averse to card playing and who do not know the game but who may be glad to come in later, informally. by the nation's general prosperity; by affinity, personality, service; and by the man-to-man contact, which makes the donor and the donate have a mutual regard for each other, or a mutual disregard, and for the foster case the tipper's hands, the lessly and abandonedly into his change pocket, and—well, right there is a new pair of shoes for the baby. But in the latter case, his hands carefully assort the nichts and dimes, which make the service more than a good cigar, and magnify loss of dignity and pride in tipper's vocation. The High Cost of Beauty ACIAL experts in the art complexion-bleaching, marce waxing, Roman-nosing, and propositions of the Walker, La France Stratth-Tex and Bronze Beauty an Poro systems of transcribing just ordinary looks into beautiful head and face contours, so far as we know, have put so much skill in their art that but little time has been given to the orderly principles of wage rates, organization and other plans of bringing permanence and preservation to the art of beauty-making. Hope is not dead, however, if the racial madness will lay down a hair-iron and bleaching potions long enough to view the recent findings of the Consumers' 1 of New York, which has just discovered that good carvers and finger-wavers often make as much as $35 to $40 per week, with tips ranging, it is said, around 40 cents a day. The manicurists are not so fortunate, their finger- tipping art averaging only $15 a week in New York, and varying from $18 to $20 in Chicago. They are present, are very irregular and frequently long, with evening work currency in many places. The 48-hour-week law, already in effect in Massachusetts, Oregon and California, has a spad to New York and will be observed in that State beginning January 1, 1925. And all this among the white folks. But what of the art of beauty culture among the daughters and sons of sun-kissed America? What would the 48-hour-week be with so much hirsute work yet to be, so much would the $15 per week wage make of barbers and bleachers, who仕 face half a century of arduous work? At any rate, they might organize and find out the truth. Forhaps the Consumers' League might co-operate with them.

Advertisement A Message to Underweight Men and Women The one supremely good health building tonic that is also the one great weight producer known to modern science the country over is McCoy's Tablets. They build flesh where flesh is needed—sunken cheeks, neck and chest—and many a man and woman skinny and scrawny have thanked McCoy's after a few weeks' treatment for the decided improvement in looks and figure. Many times the increase in weight is astonishing—one exceedingly thin woman gain 10 pounds in 22 days. McCoy takes all the risk—Read this ironclad guarantee. If after taking 4 sixty cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and feel completely satisfied with the marked improvement in health—your druggist is authorized to return the purchase price. The name McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets has been shortened—just ask for McCoy's Tablets at any drug store in America. Advertisement Read This! If You Have Varicose Veins If you or any relative or friend are worried or suffer because of varicose veins, or bunches, the best advice that anyone in this world can give is to get a prescription that literally hundreds of people all over the country are using with complete satisfaction.

Soon you will notice that they are growing smaller and the treatment should be continued until the veins are of normal size.

Wednesday, November 16, 1927 Pride of Race Pride of Race HARLEM is still mourning the path of Florence Mills. The sight her casket passing through streets thronged with two hundred thousand people will not soon be forgotten, and the inspiration of her greer will never be lost to her race. More than any other person in the field of the arts she typified the spirit and personality of the Negro. THAT was the real cause of her success. The spirit of the Negro is ore misunderstood than that of any other race. The world sees only his surface, never his depths. O strangers, he is only a funny an, laughing at everything; to its own intellectuals he is weeping victim with the weight of the world on his head. Dr. Alainocke says in The Forum that the Negro has turned to the arts because he is denied opportunity in the social and economic fields. This, so, is a great misconception; it takes more than denial of social and business opportunity to make an artist, because, in greater or less deree, every Negro is a Florence Mills. ONE OTHER little incident concerning Florence Mills before we lose the chapter; one which proves almost conclusively that she not only typified the spirit and personality of her race, but that she had ride of race, and confidence in her race. Soon after she returned from Europe she placed her legal affairs in the hands of a young Negro attorney, Ralph Mizelle, who was her husband's commanding officer during the World War, and they are in his hands now. A little incident, indeed, but one which far too many Negroes would have neglected doing when they were sitting on "top of the world." Shaking the Rattle THE NEGRO has often been called the football of politics. Just now he is playing the part of a rattle. When a baby cries too long people shake a rattle to silence it. The Negro is the rattle and the South is the baby. CERTAIN Southern Senators are opposed to the seating of Senators-elect Vare of Pennsylvania and Smith of Illinois, whom they accuse of winning their elections by spending too much money. The Republicans who want Vare and Smith seated are now collecting evidence to show that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are flagrantly violated in Southern states. This evidence is expected to prove that the Southern Senators were elected unconstitutionally and therefore have no more right to their seats than Vare and Smith. THIS IS JUST a new inning of the same old ball game that Congress has played for forty years. When the South opposes a high tariff or anything else the Republicans want EDITORIAL PAGE the Republicans threaten to enforce the two amendments; they shake the rattle and the South subsides. It will subside this time, too, and accept Vare and Smith, for its main creed is: "You can have all the world, but give me the Negro." Not Begging Their Way Not Begging Their Way CONSIDERABLE comment has been caused by a debate in the October number of The Forum on social equality between Dr. Alain Locke and Lothrop Stoddard, author of "The Rising Tide of Color." Dr. Locke thinks that the higher type of Negro should be encouraged to mingle socially with white people and Mr. Stoddard says that white American society will never stand for such a thing. REGARDLESS of the merits of their arguments, there is one point upon which both men should be set right. Whatever may be the yearnings of a handful of intellectuals, the great body of educated Negroes are not begging to be taken into the white race or any other race, but the one God gave them. They are satisfied with their own society, and they have too much self-respect to plead or threaten their way where they are not wanted. If the Negroes are ever absorbed by the white race it will be because they cannot help themselves, not because they want to. Wake Up Now! LAST WEEK'S ELECTION, on the whole, had the expected result. On the five Negro candidates in New York City two were elected. This proportion is greater than it seems for in one case two Negroes were candidates for the same office, and one had to lose. In Brooklyn the Negro candidate had the extra handicap of running on the Socialist ticket. The Negro candidate for the Assembly in Harlem had to contend with the adverse sentiment aroused by the report of Mayor Walker's alleged conduct in Rome. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS congratulates the two successful candidates for the Board of Aldermen—John C. Hawkins and Fred R. Moore—on their success. There is plenty of work waiting for them. Harlem needs cleaner streets and more playgrounds. The new aldermen can do something to awaken the people to an intelligent interest in their own affairs. IF THE 250,000 people of Harlem realized their power and used it they could get much more from the city than they have now. In such a population there should be a solid blood of one hundred thousand registered voters. If, with a registration of thirty thousand or less they can elect two aldermen, what could they not do with three times the figure? • In Chicago, where the Negroes know the value of the ballot, they have not only aldermen and legislators, but judges; in Harlem they have not even a Negro district leader. They can have district leaders and judges; too, if they will one wake up, and the time to wake up is now. LAST WEEK'S ELECTION, on the whole, had the expected result.

But last week the citizens of Isle of Wight County voted for mob rule. Sheriff Chapman and Commonwealth Attorney Whitley were defeated for re-election because they had protected a Negro prisoner from a mob. Is mob rule one of the best traditions of this republic? Nobody's Playground A WHITE COUPLE were married recently by the Rev. T. B. Brantley, a Negro minister of Elizabeth, N. J. The groom was forty-five and the bride was sixteen. The bride still plays on roller skates and says: "I don't want to be a lady; I want to play." IF SHE WANTED to play she chose a poor way to do it. Marriage may HE presidential election takes place just one year from now. There are several vital issues before the nation, but neither of the two great parties seems to have the moral courage to involve them in the forthcoming platforms. The fact is, there is no real reason why the personnel of the government should be changed, except that it is a constitutional requirement to do so. Coolidge is conducting affairs quite to the satisfaction of the vast majority of American people, North and South, Democrats and Republicans. In this appraisement of the administration, the Negro is practically negligible and does not materially count. Should Mr. Coolidge permit himself to be nominated, he would in all probability be re-elected by an overwhelming and electoral and popular vote. He has declined to bid for renomination, but the politicians are disposed to feel that his disavowal was with a background of reserve, as the great Caesar disavowed the Roman crown. Those who are inclined to believe that this laconic disclaimer has the categorical finality of the scriptural "year and nay," aver that he means what he says and says what he means. Should he now allow the politicians to force the nomination upon him, after assuring the nation that he does not choose to run for the presidency, he would lose more, in moral prestige than he would gain by a triumphant re-election. The Republican party is bound, by every consideration of good politics, to renominate him unless he emphatically declines in such language that his party must understand. Thomas Nelson Page. in his delightful book on the Old South, tells of an annuial churchman, who, though a layman, was nevertheless a devoted and enthusiastic churchman; so much so, that the bishopric of the diocese was urged upon him. Repeated declinations brought no surcease of importance. Finally, growing tired of repeated delegations urging the use of his name, he informed his ardent supporters that he would not "I'll be your bishop." After that no delegation durst bother him any further. Unless President Coolidge is prepared to use some such emphatic language, he will find himself the nominee of his party by unanimous choice. Every politician within and without the party knows that Mr. Coolidge can be re-elected without a peradventure. It may be that some other candidate can be elected, but the result is not so obvious. The selection of some other standard bearer would engender internal rivalry and strife which might jeopardize success at the polls. Coolidge alone can keep the farm bloe, the wet bloe and the dry bloe within the party in good humor and hold once off the other party, or definitely locate the secret of his power. Like Sampson, it must lie at the roots of his hair. Nor will he allow any political Delilah to reveal the spot of his hirsute weakness. There is no tangle basis, either in attainment or achievement, which would justify his preeminent influence. He has never given out a great thought, written a great state paper, organized a great movement, inspired his followers by the magnetism of his personality. Nor Policemen in automobiles to keep the crowds in order, 57,000 people come to view the body which lay in state for four days, $100,000 worth of flowers—one piece rumored to have come from the city of New York, and another from day in a cold November wind, crowding the church, fainting, moaning, crying—these were the dramatic periods that marked the funeral of a dancer and comedienne; this was the last gesture to Florence Mills by the members of two races, but chiefly of her own. Nor would we begrudge her one flower, one tear; she made thousands of people laugh; she could sing in a weird, wild way; she could dance. Most of all she was herself, and, being herself, she joined that small group of persons whose genius rests on their personality. That she was a Negro made it harder at first for her to get a hearing outside her own race, and after she once got stained, she was able to continue and therefore wonderful. Incidentally she opened a path for other Negro performers; she did not need to present her race with laughter—they had it already; she presented an alien race with a strange, new kind of laughter, she made them like it, and they will demand it again and again. By KELLY MILLER has be passionately espoused or embodied any policy or principle deemed vital to the welfare of the nation.

The Vermont vernacular—"I do not choose"—being translated into straight English, means I refuse. A refusal once uttered can hardly be revoked. Even if Mr. Coolidge finds that the welfare of his party requires that he qualify for a presidential nomination, it will be up to him to decide between party loyalty and personal integrity. But if the welfare of his country demands repudiation of his former words, he would be left no choice. Woodrow Wilson ran for the first time on a platform which declared for a single term of four years. But when party exigencies required his renomination he remained absolutely silent on his implied acceptance as to limitation of tenure and was triumphantly renominated and re-elected. There was little serious center for morals; might have done the same thing and 'enchanced his reputation for silence which is golden. This he doubtless would have done if he had the slightest intention to stand-for self-succession. In his case the limitation was self-imposed. He cannot renounce his decisive statement without seriously compromising his reputation for upright and downward declaration of purpose. If some impending national crisis should arise, patriotic consideration might override all previous commitments. It made no difference what Abraham Lincoln's previous principles might have been, the posture of affairs in 1864 demanded that he accept a second nomination. He could not have done so without thinking his patriotic duty. There was, in the nation at the time, no other person who could serve it in the hour of its vital needs so well as he. If President Wilson had retained his health, and had been able to impress upon the American people the vital necessity of fathering the League of Nations, he undoubtedly would have been nominated and elected for a third term in 1892. He had been as scraper paper in face of impending national emergency. But no such emergency seems now in sight. In spite of Mr. Coolidge's disavowal of purpose and the different interpretations placed upon his unusual phraseology, the Reasoning as if they expected his renomination. Favorite sons are LETTERS springing up here and yonder, merely for the purpose of holding the field until the psychological moment arrives for focussing upon him as the only available calculated to lead to sure victory. Where, in the meantime, will Afro-America stand? By the law of political inertia, he will in all probability remain on board of the band wagon, although assigned to the rear seat. The Republicans do not need him; the Democrats do not want him. Between the two, he would rather endure lills he has than fly to those he knows not of. He can expect from neither party any affirmative action in remedy of the evils of which he complains. Both parties will defend the Fifteenth and Fifteenth Amendments proclaiming that they will enforce them in practice. John Davis was much more emphatic than Calvin Coolidge in the last campaign concerning the essentiality of the Civil War Amendments. Governor Smith, Mr. Coolidge's probable running antagonist, will doubtless vie with his opponent in declaration of the validity of the Constitution in all of its parts and provisions. But neither Mr. Coolidge nor Mr. Smith, if elected, will turn the little finger of his left hand to put them in practical operation. The Negro, as such, faces the coming election with less prospects than he has approached any national election since enfranchisement. Repeated rebuffs at the hands of his erstwhile political benefactors have convinced him that further importance will be futile. The Grand Old Party will surely be ashamed to make any promise in its platform to the fowler spreads, not in the presence of the governor, especially that he spread the same net in times before. Negro politicians, like, my good friend Perry Howard, will adhere to the fortunes of the party with the diminishing hope to serve as the receivers and distributors of such crumbs of racial favor as may fall from the master's bountiful table. These politicians (the designation carries no reproach), can no longer hope to deceive the race that they are leading to the political promised land. I hope that they will not any longer deceive them selves. Some of the Governor Smith, with the feeling that they knew before hand that Mr. Coolidge would offer little, and with the hope that the Governor could hardly offer less. Thus the race stands distraught between the two great parties that baffle its expectations and buffet its hopes. There seems to be no relief in sight until the emergence of some third party pregnant with the moral energy which inspired the Grand Old Parties of days of the 1960s and glory of old emphasis as on human freedom; the new emphasis will be on economic equality. But after all, all freedom is essentially human. Roosevelt inaugurated such a party, but the G. O. P. was too powerful and too efficient to be disrupted by even so dynamic a personality. Senator LaFollette tried to play the same role with the Republican party is the most efficient agency on earth, if we might possibly accept the Roman Catholic Church. Even the mighty Roosevelt was glad to be admitted after his apostasy of 1912. LaFollette died leading an impotent revolt. The Western farmers are impotent to organize, too, a moral protest against powerful Republican machine. Even Senator Borah stands appalled. In the meanwhile, the great moral issues of law against lawlessness; the cause of prohibition against drunkenness; rights of agriculture to equality of reward with city industry must wait for some third party to organize their moral potency into effective revolt. In the meantime, the Negro's-political turn come. In the meantime, both existing parties will feed him on soft corn and choke him with the cob. Florence Mills (From The Nation.) The Negro's First Adventure in Finance THE FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS BANK, by Walter L. Fleming, Ph.D., Published by the University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill Price, $2.00. THE Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company, known to our fathers as the Freedmen's Bank, was the Negro's first adventure in finance. Its rise was the most encouraging thing that had happened to the Negro since the Emancipation; its fall set back the economic progress of the race by fifty years. In this volume of 170 pages, Dr. Fleming, of Vanderbilt University, tells the full history of the Freedmen's Bank with completeness, fairness and accuracy. He devotes the first chapter to an outline of the Negro's economic condition during and at the close of the Civil War, thus giving a background without which the general reader might not appreciate the wonderful promise of the bank and the terrible disaster of its fall. Four million people, born and reared in slavery, with untutored minds and no training in self-help, were suddenly thrown upon the world to compete with the skilled labor of the country. Their only assets were the power and willingness to work. The Freedmen's Bureau, created by Congress in 1865, was the only agency they could look to. --- Abraham Lincoln, in one of the last official acts of his life, signed the bill creating the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Co. The provisions of the act of incorporation were, with one or two exceptions, especially wise. The business was to be continued to the end of the years of the deposits must be invested in United States securities, one-third being held as an available fund for current needs; interest uncalled for after the death of a depositor was to be used for the education of Negro children; and persons connected with or employed by the bank were not allowed to borrow from it. As Booker T. Washington afterward said: "No work was ever done for the benefit of the Freedmen more laudable. In its purpose or more designed to assist a people who had just come out of slavery to get on their feet." The bank had a splendid start. In a few years it had 72,000 depositors scattered over the South, with an average deposit of $50. The bank had a large lifespan of the bank yas $13. In August, 1872, the branch at Mobile, Ala., took in deposits of $1,039.970.5. The total deposits of all the branches in 1874 reached the sum of $7,000,000. Thus the bank was the first, but by far the greatest, Negro adventure in finance. But, with all this brilliant advance, there were weaknesses in the bank which should have been foreseen and guarded against. In the first place, the trustees, nearly all of them living in cities far away from home from their responsibility in the charter; nor were they obliged to deposit any of their own money. Secondly—the historian should The Durham Conference By W. E. B. DU BOIS. (For The Associated Negro Press.) The Conference meeting to be held at Durham early in December is unusual. It is not an attempt to unite existing organizations for which there is neither demand nor deed. It is not an attempt to form a new organization. It is a simple, straightforward effort to assemble facts and to take stock. There has been too little of this kind of meeting. We are so anxious to right our wrongs that we usually do not have time to find out just what the wrongs are. We want more work and better wages, but what work are we doing and what wages are we receiving? We want to spread banking and insurance, but what is the condition of our banks and insurance societies today? We complain of the lack of religious belief, but what are our churches doing to foster it? We inweigh against distranchise, but how far are we really distranchised? We demand education and we have now we? We periodically "die out" but what is the real condition of our health? We are astonished at Nogro crime is there? All these questions this Conference seeks to answer: first, by hearing a documentary report on present conditions, prepared by an expert; and, second, by hearing just what organization works doing with these facts, and then, with these facts, the Conference is debating the question of improving the work of existing organizations: of indicating further work, and pointing out the necessity, if any, of further organization. Such a conference is distinctly worth-while. Answers 1. At Tuskegee, Alabama. 2. He is said to have been the first Negro poet in the English American colonies. 3. Bessle Coleman. 4.

Between 25,000 and 30,000 votes have made more of this point—though the charter confined the business of the bank to Negroes, white people were allowed to deposit money and receive loans, a breach of trust which finally ruined the bank. Thirdly, though there were fifty cities, nine of them were fifty towns, and an fifth of these made a majority, which did as it pleased. To these inherent weaknesses of organization, other faults were soon added. Though the Government's prestige was behind the bank, the Government was not bound to make good any losses. Great sums were wasted in elaborate offices; in Washington alone $200,000 was spent for a banking house. Because of its connection with the Freedman's Bureau the bank was suspected being a fraud, and the account was heavily runs on the bank by depositors. The bookkeeping was childish, for many of the clerks were young Negroes of little education. One clerk said That the day's accounts, seldom balanced—the error would be from five cents to $,5000; and the accounts finally became so jumbled that expert accountants could not make head or tail of them. The cashiers were either ignorant or rascally; they lent the bank's money recklessly, contractors, speculatively, politically, or on the finest security. One depositor thought he had $1,000 in the bank and found he had only forty cents; the thieving cashier had checked it out, brazenly forging the depositor's signature. In 1874 a national bank examiner found a deficit of over $200,000. Frederick Douglass was called to the presidency of the bank; to restore the confidence of the people. He found conditions far worse than he had feared, and he called for a Congressional investigation. He said the bank should be closed and brought down a storm of indignation on his head. The investigation uncovered a tangle of raciality that attracted national attention even in that age of corruption. The bank was closed and three commissioners were appointed to wind up its administration, if possible, to repay the swindled depositors' repayment never took place; the Government, though morally responsible, refused to be financially responsible. The poor Negroes acquired a distrust of banks from which even now, fifty years later, they are just beginning to recover—A. B.
