When taken into custo hysterical with grief and cried later remanded to the custody o arraigned in Juvenile Court o police report the shooting as a Between sobs Master Collins gave reporters his own first-hand version of the tragedy. He said, "We were playing cowboys, and I said, 'Harry, you be William S. Hart and I will be Tom Mix, and after that it will be your turn. Then I said, 'Now you turn your back and when I say 'Stick 'em up!' you turn around and throw your hands up. So he done as I told him and when I said 'Stick 'em up!' and sneaked up behind Harry he turned around and I pulled the trigger and the gun went off." Collins said that he had already clicked the gun twice to make sure that it wasn't loaded—but it was. Mrs. Anna Collins, the boy's mother, said, "The child came running to me all excited—I was in the kitchen with my sister—and he said, 'Oh, mama—we was playing cowboys and the gun went off and killed Harry!'" She then called the superintendent of the building, C. P. Jones, and told her son to run for a doctor. While Jones came upstairs to see what aid he could give, the boy brought back Dr. E. S. Bergman from his drug store at 463 Lenox avenue, corner of 133d street. An ambulance was called from Harlem Hospital, where Harry's body was removed, and the police were notified. Detectives Brown and Webber of the West 133th street station entered the scene and conducted an investigation. Collins went along and told his story willingly enough. He told the police that he had found the gun in the empty apartment a month ago after a family by the name of Oliver had moved out. His mother did not know he had the gun, he said, and he took it out to play with Sunday morning. Mrs. Collins said that except for the inclement weather she and the boys would have been at church. Mr. and Mrs. Hallell Williams, parents of Louis and Harry, lived in the apartment with Mrs. Collins. Young Collins said that he has not seen his father since he was a very small boy.

Joseph Qualley, 11. 212 West Sixty-fourth street, was arrested Monday afternoon on a charge of juvenile delinquency in connection with two fires last week in P. S. 141, 462 West Fifty-eighth street, where he is a pupil. The boy, according to detectives, admitted he had set the fires "to beat my lessons" and "because I didn't school." He was happy and indifferent as he sat in the station waiting to be turned over to an agent of the Children's Society. The first fire was discovered by a teacher Thursday morning under a stairway on the second floor. Teachers stamped out the flames. A similar fire was discovered the next afternoon in the same spot and was also easily extinguished. Assistant Fire Marshal Morris and the detectives investigated. It was learned that the boy had left the class, presumably for a washroom, before the first blaze and that he had not returned from the noon-hour recess the next day at the time Friday's fire was discovered. The boy said he tore pages from a book for fuel for the first fire, the police said, and the next afternoon, realizing he would be late and might be childed, took paper from home to start the fire.

They were arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate McKiniry, who held them in $1,000 bail cach for the Grand Jury on a charge of burglary. The youths are said to have pawned some of the booty, which in all was valued at $85. Now comes the "butter-and-egg bandits" in the persons of four or six unknown colored fellows who are said to have entered the stores of Michael Parker, 252 West 128th street, and Benjamin Solomon, 2100 Fifth avenue, both white, and after ordering a pound of butter, covered them with revolvers, took $47 from Parker's cash register and $200 from Solomon's money tills. The places were robbed fifteen minutes apart. The men escaped and have not yet been apprehended. 119th street, described by the police as the "window display burglar," whose mysterious operations have alarmed Harlem merchants, was captured early Wednesday morning by Patrolman O'Donnell of the West 122nd street station, following the sound of crashing plate glass from the window of Morris Shanklin, cleaner and dyer, 67 Lenox avenue, near 114th street.

Mrs. Ruby Burke, assistant supervisor in the operating room, was dismissed because, she says, she refused to show her leg to Dr. John F. Connors, white, visiting surgeon, following an injury to her leg by his accidentally kicking a stool against it. On Monday afternoon, Nov. 28, Dr. Connors was about to perform a very serious operation and asked Nurse Burke to bring him a stool. As she sat the stool down, perhaps a trifle too near, Dr. Connors kicked it to one side, striking the nurse on the right leg just above the ankle. The wound bled very freely. She said nothing until the operation was over, when the doctor said, "I'm sorry, let me see it." "Never mind, "it's all right," the nurse replied, but Dr. Connors insisted upon sealing her leg. Then the supervising nurse, Bernadette Moore, spoke up, in a rasping nasty tone, she says, and said, "Come on here, do as you are ordered," Mr. Burke says she ignored her unclel command and walked from the room. time.

She declares that the mirror was broken by the bartender knocking her head up into it; and that she never promised to pay him for it, as reported in The Amsterdam News last week. She further charges Patrolman Richardson, the arresting officer, with beating her and throwing her from a taxi cab. The bartender declared that Mrs. Thomas struck him in the mouth with her shoe when he attempted to put her out after she had raised a rumpus, hollered murder and called the police herself on the telephone. He had witnesses to verify his assertion. Entered as second-class matter Dec. 31, 1809, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Strangles Wife; Takes Poison; Gives Self Up Harvey Gould, 35 years old, 20 Storms avenue, Jersey City, a piano mover of considerable size and strength, walked into the Boland Street Police Station Sunday afternoon and told Lieutenant Francis Fox, who was on desk duty, that he had killed his wife gallier in the day and then had taken poison, according to the police. Policemen who went to the Gould apartment on the second floor of a two-family house said they found Mrs. Anna Gould's body on the floor of the bedroom. Apparently, the woman had been choked to death, the police say. Gould was placed under arrest and was taken to the Jersey City Hospital, where an examination was made to determine whether he had swallowed any poison.

McCarton from the District Attorney's office, who held a bench warrant for his arrest. Waller promised the court that he would pay the sum, which would come out of the proceeds of royalties from his popular songs. Reapportionment Of Congress Asked Representative Tinkhan o Massachusetts to Introduce Resolution WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.—A reaportionment resolution, inspired by the charge made by Representative George Holden Tinkham, Republican of Massachusetts, that the House of Representatives "is not organized honestly and constitutionally and does not fairly represent the American people and American sentiments" will be introduced today in Congress. "The insurrectionary slave states of the South, confidently relying as they have always done upon Northern timidity, have contemptiously ignored this provision, with the result that these states now have more political power than they had before the War of the Rebellion, when, for purposes of representation in the House of Representatives and in the Electoral College, they were allowed to count the white population, plus 100-fifths, or 60 per cent of the slave population. Today they count the white population and all the Negroes, most of whom they disfranchise. In other words, they have annexed the entire political power of the Negro, whereas before the Civil War they had only 30-fifths of it.

The Provisional President of Africa left New Orleans Friday on the United Fruit Company steamship Saramacca, which sailed for Cristobal, Canal Zone, en route to Garvey's native land, following the commutation of his five-year term at Atlanta penitentiary on a charge of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line Steamship Company, a subsidiary of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which Garvey was president general. Father Takes Child During Divorce Raid Wife and Mother-in-Law of Alleged Corepondent Also Present A double divorce is likely to grow out of a spectacular raid by Boullu's Agency of 110 East 125th street on No. 60 West 129th street last Wednesday. It is alleged that when the raiding party entered, accompanied by Fred Williams, 222 West 116th street. Williams' wife, Agatha, was found in a room with one Ed Mahoney. It was further stated that Mr. Williams' four-year-old girl was also found asleep with the mother and Mahoney at the time. Mr. Williams got hold of his child during the raid and rushed her and her belongings away from the unfavorable surroundings. Mahoney's wife and mother-in-law were also present. Mrs. Mahoney stated that her husband had left her and it was necessary for her to take him to the Family Court to get support. The Williamses were married six years ago and have one child. The Mahoneys were married in 1916. They have two children, a girl and a boy, eight and six years old, respectively. Mr. Williams has retained Atty. Richard E. Cary to prosecute his suit for divorce. Newark Robber Beats Dr. Darden's Nurse "You will just have to kill me," said Miss Proville Martinez, a nurse in the offices of Dr. W. T. Darden, 148 West Kinney street, Newark, last Thursday night, when a man broke into the reception room, gave her several blows and threatened her life if she would not tell where the keys to the doctor's closet were. The man escaped with a small sum of money. When Dr. Darden returned to his offices at 9:30, he found the nurse hysterical. He administered restoratives, and soon thereafter the girl told what had happened. The doctor notified the police, and Detectives Carr and Aldi were assigned to investigate the case. Dr. Darden, who located in Newark about four months ago, was formerly assistant medical director at John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute. Miss Martinez, who is confined to bed on account of the attack, was born in San Juan, Porto Rice, and educated in the States. Besides being a nurse, she is an aesthetic dancer and singer. 20 PAGES—5 CENTS PER COPY IAICA AMERICA PY AS WHEN RST ARRIVED reader Was Given $10,000 With Headquarters of Organization —Efforts to Stay Warrant Fail been deported to Jamaica.

Just before he sailed he addressed 500 of his followers who cheered and shouted their farewell in the pouring rain. He said: "I leave America fully as happy as when I came, in that my relation with the Negro people was most pleasant and inspiring, and I shall work forever in their behalf. The program of nationalism is as important now as it ever was. My entire life will be devoted to the support of the cause. I sincerely believe that it is only by nationalizing the Negro and awakening him to the possibilities of himself that his universal problem can be solved." A committee of the U. N. I. A. from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York was there to bid him Godspeed. It is said that Carvey was given $10,000 by the U. N. J. A. to defray his expenses and for settling in Jamaica and opening offices of the association. Carvey had doffed the plain prison suit and was looking spiffy in a tailored suit of light brown, checked, and sported a silver-headed malacca cane. As the vessel stepped down the Mississippi the world's most discussed Negro waved a handkerchief from the lower deck and said, "Good-bye, America—farewell, my people!" Armin Kohn, a New York lawyer, and other of Garvey's attorneys, had appeared before the Labor Board of Review at Washington in an effort to secure a 90-day stay and to release Garvey on ball to give him time to wind up his affairs here in Harlem, but the plen was denied Thursday afternoon. The attorneys also failed in securing a shorter stay. E. B. Knox, Garvey's personal representative, was at the Capital and New Orleans, doing everything in his power in behalf of his leader. Garvey's sentence would have expired Oct. 15, 1928. Amy Jacques Garvey, wife number two, denied that her husband has any money secreted in banks in other countries, saying that he went to prison with just $13 and she was obliged to send him money for the simple luxuries allowed at the prison. The statement was made in rebutation of charge by Amy Ashwood Garvey, wife number one, that Garvey is many times a millionaire. In an exclusive interview given to a reporter of The Amsterdam News, Fernest B. Mair, business manager of the Negro World, the mouthpiece of the U. N. I. A. 142 West 120th street, gave the following interesting information regarding the association and its banished leader: The U. N. I. A. began in Jamaica about 1912 and was known as the Jamaica Improvement Association. Jamaica having a color and class question within the race rather than a race question, it was not possible to arouse any high feeling of race consciousness. But in America, where the Negro suffered under oppression, the Negro found in the U. N. I. A. a mighty instrument through which he might voice his grievances to the world and demand his rights. While there are unpleasant things going on within the organization its chief purpose is to hold the members' interest. (Continued on Page 2.) URGES DEFEAT OF IND.

Mrs. Barnes said the men first told her they came to inquire into the purchase of a photograph she had advertised, and then, after examining the machine, the leader remarked, "We don't care to buy. We came for our money." Then they robbed her, she said. Her cries attracted the attention of Dr. James Cromlet, 55, who came from his office upstairs. He attempted to force him. He was badly booted, it is said, and his wallet containing 7 taken from him. The trio escaped and detectives who arrived on the scene later have found no trace of them. When Herbert Robinson, 220 West 127th street, stepped to the phone in the hallway, Nathan Griffin, 25, 310 West 137th street, is said to have forced his way into the room by way of the fire escape, and when Robinson returned he saw Griffin with his overcoat on his arm.

Garvey on Way to His Native Home Garvey on Way to His Native Home (Continued from Page 1) causes pettiness to recede to the bankground. In private life all Garvey's pompity and exaggerated ego falls from him like a mantle and he becomes just plain Mr. Man, caring nothing for the quady trappings and accomplishments that are a part of the insignia of the U. N. I. A. Within his ranks Garvey easily overrides all opposition with his dynamic personality and imposes his will upon all. The foreign nations are out for Garvey's scalp and it was largely foreign influence, Mr. Mair declares, which brought about his conviction, imprisonment and deportation. The foreign nations are bitter against him because he aroused a consciousness of superiority among the Negroes of Africa. The world little knows of the conspirator in the white man. The Zulu makes fun of his straight hair and "pork skin," while he glorifies his own kinky hair and dark features. Mr. Mair said that he has traveled in fourteen countries. He has seen kailas hitched to ox carts and driven with a whip like cattle and Egyptians kicked about like dogs merely to satisfy the white man's brutal instinct. "But who knows," said Mr. Mair, "but what some minor incident such as started the late world war may precipitate an even more deadly conflict between the black and white races of the earth." A prominent Harlem editor said in 1922: "The great fear of the white races of the world is that the colored races will forget their petty differences and get together.

Strictly Confidential METROPOLITAN JEWELERS 1870 Broadway, N. 36 St. West to Greenwich Bank TO TESTIFY IN DIVORCE SCANDAL Maid Accuses Employer's Husband of Molesting and Making Love to Her Maid Accuses Employer's Husband of Molesting and Making Love to Her Swears to Affidavit Supporting Well-to-Do Attorney's Wife's Suit for Divorce-Also Says He Threatened to Kill Her if She Told Frances Copeland, address unknown, a maid formerly in the employment of Mrs. Jeannette Milch, white, was named as a supporting witness in an affidavit filed by Mrs. Milch in Supreme Court before Justice Isidore Wasservogel, Thursday, for absolute divorce from her husband, Victor W. Milch, an attorney, of 245 Broadway, and former Columbia football star, whom the maid accuses of making love to her and molesting her to such an extent as to cause her to leave her job. One Mrs. Gertsman, white, is named as the correspondent in Mrs. Milch's suit, which is in the hands of her attorney. Bernard H. Sandler, 15 Broadway. Mr. Milch was given until Monday to answer his wife's charges. Miss Copeland charges that more than once Milch threatened to kill her if she told of his action to his wife, and at one time brandished a revolver and hatchet at her and its wife, saying that he intended to kill them both. Only the wife's pleadings caused him to lay down the weapons, the maid said. At that time the Milchas were living at 527 West 101st street. In the affidavit Miss Copeland declares that she witnessed several ardent love scenes between Milch and Mrs. Gertsman, who was a friend of Mrs. Milch and a constant visitor at her home. Miss Copeland said that Milch's amorous conduct occurred between Nov. 1 and 20, 1925. "Shortly after I entered their employ," she said, "Milch made advances to me. This conduct on his part persisted during practically all of the time I was employed there and was the cause of my leaving their employ." Milch usually chose the morning hours for his love-making to her, the girl said, at which time he would also talk with Mrs. Gertsen, whose husband is a traveling salesman, over the phone in honeyed words. Mrs. Gertsen often came to the house for dinner. As asked me on numerous occasions to go out with him," she said, "and told me to take a night out and that he would meet me and take me to a cabaret or anywhere I wanted to go. On each occasion he attempted these advances I threatened to tell Mrs. Milch. He would flare up and threaten to kill me if I did so." Miss Copeland also states that Milch showed her some jewelry that he said he was giving Mrs. Gertsman for a present. Milch Copeland said she kept the entire matter to herself for fear of making trouble between the couple, but when she read in the papers that Mrs. Milch had separated from her husband she told her that she was a Milch. Milch, who is 25, is living at the Hotel Windenere with her three-year-old son, Victor Jr., and was married in 1922. Subsequently Milch entered Columbia to study law. The sparkling youth and alluring beauty of Miss Copeland is said to be responsible for Milch's mad desire to obtain her. She is a resident of Harlem, but her address is being withheld because Milch is trying to intimidate her, Attorney Sandier said. When interviewed by The Amsterdam News reporter, Monday, Mrs. Milch, who is also beautiful, declined to talk for publication and politely referred the reporter to her attorney, who in turn was equally reticent. MAKES FUTILE PLEA FOR WIFE WHO SHOT HIM In family rows, cuttings and shootings, the participants are usually freed because no one will press the charge, but in the case of Mary Dangerfield, 29, 71 West 127th street, who shot her husband, the bullet grazing his neck and causing a slight wound, it was different. When the husband, Eugene, appeared before Magistrate McQuade in Heights Court last Wednesday he told the court that he did not wish to press the charge, and pleaded for the freedom of his spouse. His plea was denied on the ground that his wife had violated the Sullivan law by having a gun in her possession. Mrs. Dangerfield was held in $500 bail for Specific Sessions. DENIES HE SHOT MAN IN LEG AT PARTY Following an altercation over a card game, Eugene Harris, 29, 53 East 133d street, was arrested early Monday morning by Detective Winter of the East 126th street station, charged with shooting Louis Henry, 1 West 133d street, in the left leg. Harris denied the shooting and when arraigned later before Magistrate Renaud in Harlem Court was held in $1,500 ball for a further hearing.

Early Monday five men entered the theatre, overpowered him, with the aid of a revolver, persuaded him to go to the office the second floor, where they told him to open the safe, which contained $3,500. He said that he did not know the combination, so they stugged him a few times and tried to open it themselves. They failed, and after an hour's effort, during which time Allen sat bound and gagged, they left with only $35 stolen from a cash drawer. After they left Allen rolled down twenty-two steps and put his head through a glass front door. He cut himself slightly.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 7, 1927 Relatives Fight Over N. J. Property Philip Franklin Left No Will Seven Years Ago Five relatives of the late Philip Franklin fought over houses at 34 Kearney avenue and 81 Ege avenue, Jersey City, owned by him when he died on February 3, 1920, before Vice Chancellor Fallon last Thursday afternoon, and three established their interest in them. Franklin died intestate. The court held that Mrs. Sarah Saunders, a sister of the deceased, and her brother, Proph Franklin, both of Jersey City, had signed away their rights in the properties to the widow, Mrs. Pattle Franklin Wigglus, who has since remarried, on March 1, 1920, for some consideration. he decreed that Mrs. Nannie Hurdern and Mrs. Mirlanda Elliot, both of Lynchburg, Va., and Miss Virginia Franklin, who has been missing for eighteen years, each held a seat in the property, subject to the door of the wide, and the Mrs. Wiggins held the balance of the interest. The court sent the matter to Special Master James A. Hamill for an accounting of profits gained by Mrs. Wiggins and of her disbursements for taxes, water rents, assessments and repairs. Mrs. Wiggins said that this will show that she has spent more on houses than the equity of the other three is worth. Traverse Spraggins, disbarred lawyer, drew the papers through which Franklin and Mrs. Saunders signed away their interest in the houses to Mrs. Wiggins and was exonerated of any wrongful practice, which had been charged by the pair. The court allowed Samuel Tartalsky, attorney for complaintants, $150. Douglas D. T. Story and Louis G. Morten appeared for Mrs. Wiggins. "Oh, Dear, Dear Me, I've Bagged a Deer" ORANGE, N.

Before dying Cox said that he had been beaten and kicked at the time of his arrest, but later changed his story, by saying that he had been injured when he leaped from a window during a police raid on a crap game. A reporter of the Amsterdam News was at the West 135th street police station when Cox was brought in and reports that Cox not only was not beaten but was treated kindly. Detective Christiano, assigned to investigate Cox's death, reported that Cox had suffered from a case of bronchial pneumonia and had developed hemorrhages in the stomach. Mrs. Cox, his wife, from whom Cox was separated, said that her husband had been taking medicine regularly for quite some time. Detective Christiano also intimated that Cox might have received the "blow" during the scuffle in which he slashed his wife. Take Shine Off Dr. R.

Hospital authorities and the police differ as to the nature of the accident which caused the fatal injury. "Miss Adele Haycock," reads the police record of the case, "twenty-six, of 6 East 132d street, patient in Ward 20, while in wheel chair in elevator at second floor fell through open door to bottom at 4 p. m. pronounced dead by Dr. Jason James Conway, elevator operator." According to Dr. Charles D. Bacon, superintendent of the hospital, the young woman, who was in a wheel chair in the elevator at the main floor, fell from the chair and struck her head on the floor of the car. It was obviously an accident, said Dr. Bacon, and the elevator operator would not be dismissed.

The nurse thought it over and decided against a reduction in rank by taking Ward 4, but was willing to compromise by taking charge of the dispensary. She was told that there were no openings there. Again she was advised to return to her post "My pride would not allow me to do this," said Mrs. Burke, "and decided to remain away from the institution and fight the case, and I'm going to take it as far as I possibly can." Only five months ago Nudus Burke said that Dr. Connors told her, "Your work is above par, it is A-I, and I compliment you upon your surgical cleanliness and technique. You have brought the operating room to an efficiency of more nearly 100 per cent than it has been in seven years." Twenty physicians and nurses were present when she received this compliment, said Mrs. Burke, who has been at Harlem Hospital since 1922.

In bis analysis of the elementary school situation, Dr. Gress, by the use of statistics, showed that chere over 4,000 schools constructed and 143 teachers supported by the Ro senwald Fund in conjunction with the funds of various states and groups of Negro patrons, in the coustruction” ot modern elementary schools ‘North Carolina leads, Mis siselppl and South Carolina follow, and Florida is the most Sackward. ‘The high schoot as a medium of Neuro education was the next to be considered by the speaker. Accord- Ing to the Jackson Davis compile tion, {n fourteen of the Southern States there are 729 high schools training 68,000 students, With this happy numerical showing the high schools are inadequate from the points of trained teachers and mod ern bulldings to meet the situation presented by the college entrance Tequirements.

C. P. Spirited Conference on Labor Questions Held Under Auspices of B. S. C. P. Organizer A. Philip Randolph, Rev. William Lloyd Imes, Ira Reed, Rev. George Frazier Miller and Several Others Speak Problems of Negro workers in American industry and the rapid approach to a crisis of the fight for better wages and working conditions for Pullman porters and maids through the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters were the subjects of vital and spirited discussion at the Negro Labor Conference held Friday afternoon in the Urban League building, 210 West 136th street. It was the first conference of its kind ever held in the United States and occurred on the sixty-sixth anniversary of the death of John Brown, the avowed enemy of slavery, who on that day sixty-six years ago was put to death by hanging at Harpers Ferry, Md. Industrial emancipation for the Negro was the strident keynote of the conference. Forbidden Pleasures Just like Adam and Eve were punished for eating forbidden fruit, so do a vast number of men and women, both young and old, suffer today because they lack strength. Dissipation has weakened many so they can no longer withstand the silhouette exertion—others were born weak and have never known how to build their bodies so they could take advantage of the many pleasures they seek. There is no excuse for anyone crying for health, and strength—everyone can enjoy life— A Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood, reviewed the alms, objects and methods of the Brotherhood in their bitter conflict with the Pullman Company and made an intelligent appeal to every Negro organization, institution, association, trade and profession to stand solidly behind the Brotherhood in their approaching crisis, wherein they may be compelled to embarrass and seriously inconvenience the Pullman service by going on a general strike to force recognition from and arbitration with the Pullman Company. A. F. L. Pledges Strike Support The Pullman Company having been urged by the United States Mediation Board to arbitrate the case with the Brotherhood and having refused to do so, the Pullman Porters took their case before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington, where the Pullman Company's motion to dismiss the Brotherhood's petition was denied. The Commission has fixed January 11 as the date upon which they will investigate conditions in the Pullman service and the relation of wages to rates. "The American Federation of Labor is solidly behind the Brotherhood in any eventuality," said Alexander Marks, national organizer and representing Hugh Frayne of the American Federation of Labor. In opening the labor conference Mr. Randolph stated that the Negro industrial creed of Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, is inadequate for the present era of organized labor, and that the Negro can secure more wages and more security in his jobs only by getting industrial power through organization. "At the present time the Negro is caught in a vicious circle. He cannot get a job without a union card; he cannot join the union unless he has a job," said Mr. Randolph. Discussion Keen and Lively The Rev. William Loyd lynes, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, reflected the churches' favorable attitude toward the organization of Negro labor, stressing the fact that the Negro church is supported over 65 per cent by the laboring classes, but is composed, of all classes, of all classes of society. The Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop, speaking in the ten-minute period of question-asking, following each speaker's 20-minute talk, declared that the Negro church has not really voiced its attitude on industrial questions, and that, even among the white clergy, labor talk was a mooted subject except in isolated instances when famous pastors dared to speak out on the question. The Rev. Mr. lynes concurred in this opinion and stated that Negro church congregations have no broad view of the labor question and that the Negro ministers should give industrial talks in their churches and that the Brotherhood should arouse their conscience to this end. Ira DeA. Reid, industrial secretary of the Urban League, summarized the various causes of the industrial injustice accorded the Negro worker and laid the blame flatly at the door of the white employer who goes upon the theory that all Negroes are inferior. Race prejudice, pure and simple, is at the bottom of it all, he said. Mr. Reid showed that, unorganized, the Negro worker remains pitifully at the mercy of the pitiless white employer and the foreign worker, the effect is receiving rejection above the Negro in every advantageous situation. In the name of even-handed justice the Negro worker demands industrial and economic equality and refuses further to be a bawn in the hands of American industry in so far as he is able, said Mr. Reid. The Rev. George Fraser Miller of Brooklyn asked if a fine or penalty could not be placed upon white union workers who refused to work with Negro union workers. Mr. Reid replied that the situation was somewhat similar to the white employer who prefers to pay a fine to the union rather than accept a Negro union worker. "The union does the best it can for its Negro members, but the prejudiced whites always manage to dodge the issue." "The Negro Worker and Education" was the subject of an interesting paper read by Miss Layle Lane, teacher, and was followed by a very critical definition and discussion during the ten minutes allotted to questions. Ben Stalborg, free lance labor scribe; Algernon Lee of the Rand School of Social Science; William Pickens; Charles B. Hansan, well-known fraternal man; Dr. H. W. Laidler were among the other speakers. At the close of the meeting six resolutions were read and unanimously adopted in which the Brotherhood declared itself against the present wage and working conditions for porters and maids and the tipping system, and it was resolved that the conference endorses the Brotherhood's fight and unqualifiedly condemn the Pullman Company's policy of intimidating and coercing the members of the Brotherhood; and it was further resolved that the conference, representing all the sentiment of all sections of the community, pledge its moral and financial support to the Brotherhood, pledging further to back them should they be compelled to strike. A committee was named to carry out the conference program, with the Rev. Mr. Imes as the head, and Dr. Julia Coleman, C. T. French, Mrs. P. A. Watkins, Ira DeA.

M. E. Zion Church. Deoutantes Gives Formal Dance Observer Says It Was One of Prettiest of Social Season—Held at Renaissance "The prettiest dance of the social season" some called it; "the formal dance which had no stiffness" is what others thought of it. All in all, it was a representative affair—the second formal dance given by the Debutante Club at the Renaissance Casino, 188th street and Seventh avenue, last Friday night. Members of the club were stationed at the door to greet the invited guests. Only persons holding cards were admitted. Each lady guest was given a red perfume bottle as a souvenir. Over six years ago a group of fifty girls were called together at the Walker Studio and the club was organized. Time, however, proved that it would be better to work with a smaller number of girls—so today the membership is limited to thirty. Many of the present members are charter members. Because of the fame the club has gained through its midnight shows, parties, benefit dances at Bamboo Inn, contributions to Hampton and Tuskegee institutes, and its annual visits to and service for the Old Folks' Home at Lincoln Hospital, it was decided by the group to keep its original name. Officers of the club are: Miss Edith McAllister, president, who has served for three years; Mrs. Marion Moore-Day, first vice-president; Mrs. Elizabeth Nixon-Burwell, second vice-president; Mrs. Ruth Demry Caldwell, secretary; Miss Alva Daves, treasurer; Miss Edythe Williams, financial secretary; Miss Odell Sawyer, assistant secretary. The other members are: Miss Thelma E. Berlack, Miss Dorothy Conyers, Miss Carrie Dunlap, Miss Mayme L. Gary, Miss Harriet Dixon-Hill, Mrs. Blanche Talbot-Jenkins, Miss Adeliade King, Miss Blanche Levy, Miss M. Loita Lynn, Mrs. Ruth Brown-Price, Miss Mabel Robinson, Miss Olyve Mae Thomas, Miss Hortense Thompson, Miss M.

Beauty Hints By MINA TEMPLE No.Woman Ugly No woman is ugly who chooses to be fair. Beauty of disposition is 50 per cent of charm and the other per cent can be gained through industry. Perhaps you are the so-called ugly girl with coarse dark skin and a downward curved arm, or the fair, learn to smile, turn up the lip, and be kind. Think hopefully and expect things of life. As for your dark skin, try this: First, get a guaranteed peeling process and remove the outer rough and darkened skin. After a week or two your face will be as it was or should have been when you were young. No. You need the powder, rouge and other vintages that hold one admirer before the glass. Caution—DON'T BE VAIN. Red Cabbage When serving corned beef and cabbage use red cabbage for a change and cook twenty minutes without covering. It remains re To a Vain Love LOVE, do not think that all good things. Begin and end with you; Nor think that from your sole kiss springs My need fine acts to do. I own that you shine sagely bright And scatter lustrous rays; Yet, not your fire but an old love's light Inspires and lights my ways. L. M. Y.W.C.A. Notes That young people nowadays care for nothing but jazz is a false indictment, if we may judge at all from the interest which "Y" girls show in the lecture-recitals of the Music Appreciation Course. Last year they sat enthralled under the strains of the finest music that know and this year it is revived. Carl Bozill, who for months past has been a member of "The Desert Song," told the story of the operaetta and sang numbers from it in a most charming and interesting way. Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, the well-known mezzo-soprano, is going to do "Songs and Folk Songs" for the group on Dec. 15. Miss Cornella Lampton, tomorrow night, will talk on piano with the Victory Life Insurance Company, talked on "Companionate Marriage in the Light of the Teachings of the Old and New Testaments" on Sunday afternoon. The solist for the afternoon was Lowell Jackson, tenor. The educational department offers many short courses in various subjects—which run a period of eight or ten weeks. The courses are now being formed. This is true of crochet headband, trade embroidery, French flower-making, lamp shades and home decorations, china painting, public speaking and parliamentary law and ukelele classes. A department catalogue giving detailed information may be secured at the information desk, being made for the Christmas party on Dec. 22. Members may secure invitations for their friends. Mrs. Eva T. Parks, Mrs. W. A. Carson, Miss Mildred Burch, Mrs Hattie L. Green and Mrs. M. W.

Iron's Millerie Lafayette Avenue, Corner 48th Street West Side of the Street NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 7, 1927 HOUSEWINE EXCHANGE O.A. The Dining Room ONE of the first things to consider in decorating a room is the floor. This sometimes is given the least consideration. However, it is one of the things that should receive careful attention, particularly the dining-room floors. A carpet or a large-sized rug on the dining-room floor of a dark color should be effective, while a light color should harmonize with the general scheme. Keep in mind the size, type and use of the room first. For example, a small room, which is simply furnished, the exposure to the north, calls for a floor covering that is plain and not overly-patterned, and not too dark in color. For a small dining-room select a plain carpet or rug, which is not too large, figured carpeting or figured rugs may be the choice. This week I shall describe to you the modern average-size dining-room. It is furnished in a suite of an English Renaissance adapted inspiration. The slip seats of the chairs are upholstered in a diamond-shaped patterned silk brocade of blue and gold. If the room has a southern exposure the gold and blue are a perfect combination. The room is too much furniture in the dining-room and six chairs of course, with a buffer and serving table, are enough. Do not have the pieces in the set, too massive in size, if the room is small. In a corner by the window a tea-wagon is very pretty. It may be one of Chinese yellow, with Chinese figures lacquered on it. Place on this a pretty water-set of clear glass. Over the buffet place a large wall hanging of brocade in which the tones of gold, green and blue intermingle in an interesting design. Have the wall hanging trimmed on both sides and at the bottom with a dull gold metallic braid. At the top have a flat antique finished tapestry rod and hang with a pair of Shoppers FOR LADIES GIFTS F Shoppers' Guide Useful and Lasting Gifts WATCHES and JEWEL IVORY SETS Be LAMPS, SHADES, SMOKES Articles of Various D Come In and Be Convinced NOVELTY RE 55 West 125th St. "The Combination Dream Book" Get "The Combination Dream Book" by Prof. Konje at all leading stores and newstands.

If the dining-room has the wall lights, have simple little parchment shades of a rich, gold-colored parchment paper. A Chinese rug, about nine by twelve, is very pretty. Be very careful to select the proper coloring. In this case one of a brownish color, which has figures in blue, would be beautiful. For the windows have the simple straight hanging curtains of a pretty light-colored tan rayon gauze. Have the curtains reach to the sill. For the overdrapes have a medium blue and gold striped rayon and cotton taffeta, trimmed on the inside and bottom with a cedar-colored tassel fringe. Drape them back with silk cord and tassel curtain loops to match the fringe. If one prefers, a dull gold wooden corks can be used at the top of the windows. Or the beautiful painted poles with large wooden rings may be used, having them a medium or cobalt blue, striped in gold. These are very effective. For the walls a soft tan is used and, if one has the Tiffany (stippled) walls, a combination of the soft blue and the blue is very beautiful. The woodwork is done in a soft ivory enamel. Upon the buffet place a fruit dish if fresh fruit is not procured every day artificial fruit may be used. Avoid the use of pictures in the modern dining-room. The color-scheme used tends to lessen the glare of sunlight from the ceiling. The dining-rooms of today that have the side lights around the room are much prettier and can be furnished more effectively where there are no center hanging lights.

Cent Oklahoma City Best Sport Pages in Greater New York Renaissance Five Defeat Leaders of Metropolitan League Last Sunday Colored Players Underlined to Face Newark Bears the Coming Week-End—Francis Thinks Team Should Tighten Up on Foul Shooting Bv FRANCIS Notwithstanding the inclement weather last Sunday night a packed house turned out to see the Renaissance team perform against the Catskill Club, Metropolitan League leaders and recent conquerors of the crack Visitation Triangles, who defeated the Renaissance. The visitors, however, were set back neatly by the score of 25 to 20. The colored champions, who had just finished a strenuous week, could not get started in the first half, and played listlessly, giving the Catskill Club the distinction of being the first club to shut them out in the first half of the game on the Harlem court this season, the score at half time being 10 to 6 in favor of the visitors. Renaissance points coming from six out of ten tries from the foul line and Catskill scoring three field goals and four out of nine of their free tries. At the start of the second half, however, the Harlem quitter started out after the Catskill team, and Georgia Flah, as has been his wont lately, started things going when he tossed a beauty from about mid court. Not to be outdone, "Fat" Jenkins matched him with another just as good, and it was not long before Renaissance caught up and passed the visitors, from which point it became only a question as to how many points Renaissance would win by Flail of the Renaissance and Caland of the Catskills both led their respective teams in scoring for the evening, each having three field goals and two fouls. Through the good foul shooting of Capt. Sieucm, who caged six out of eight tries, the Renaissance were able to show thirteen successes in single innings for 28 out of 30 while the visitors got 10 out of 18 chances. The Renaissance foul shooting is still far below what the team should show as a championship aggregation, and we wish that the boys would realize this and make a real effort to improve in this department of the game. With the world champion Celtics getting their bumps regularly, we are going to do a lot of claiming at the end of the season for world's best players. We will have to hold up our hands by taking themselves seriously, and playing every game to win. The Newark Bears will be the attraction for next Sunday night, and as one of the gang in the "Amen box" remarked: "Bear meat was a good change of diet." If names mean anything, the Renaissance band brought the Bears on Sunday night, for the festival to bring along Dernberg, Shartoff, Schwankert, Daubner and Walsh to do their stuff. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Dec. 5. The 1927 football season was brought to a close by the selection of George E. Byrd as captain, to succeed William D. Williams, and to succeed George E. Byrd halts from Wilmington, N. C., where he first began his football career. Byrd also played in the inter-session city. Since coming to Hampton he has played one year in the inter-session conference and then graduated to the big league. Byrd was the champion of the C. I. A. A. Hampton Blue and White machine to the championship of the C. I. A. A. He has helped to make the Hampton eleven of the best teams in the association, under the game won when George E. Byrd was at the helm selecting plays. It is not the only interest of the newly-elected captain. This captain of the 1928 football season is also captain of the 1929 football season.

TUSKEGEE DOWNS ATLANTA TEAM Throng Shivers Watching Struggle on Spiller's Field Last Week In a sloppy field, with mud ankle deep, Atlanta University and Tuskegee began a long-hooked-for struggle in Spiller's long-throne of shivering fans Saturday. Atlanta received the kick and went by plunges into Tuskegee's terrific then Tuskegee did the same thing in Atlanta's five-card line. Atlanta kicked Atlanta tumbled and lost the ball. The second quarter opened with Tuskegee having the ball in Atlanta's five-card line. After three quarters, Atlanta had the only scoring of the game. The second half was a repeated back-and-forward movement in the final half in the first quarter Tuskegee had the third quarter Atlanta clearly was the better. The second and fourth quarters were about an even struggle. Four times in the game Tuskegee had the third quarter downs and three times she ripped the Tuskegee line for long gains, only to lose the slippery half McPherson, S. Jones, and Robinson, Wheedee.

Jennings in the Evening Graphic. This is the second time within the past few weeks that a white writer has been driven to cry unto high heaven for justice for the colored boys in the ring. Shortly after the death of "Tiger" Flowers Paul Galico had a few words to say anent the hard road our boys are forced to travel because of the damnable color line. Recently an appeal was directly made to us in behalf of another gentlymanly boxer, who seems to have a hard time getting fight. We have reference to Jimmy Moore, who should be given a chance at the Olympia in Harlem. Moore can deliver the goods. Today we are reproducing the article from the pen of Mr. Jennings and hope that every reader of these columns will follow his suggestion and write a letter to Commissioner Farley of the Boxing Commission. Says the Graphic writer: Colored boxers, unless they manage to get the support of the press, are treated like statues by matchmakers and boxing commission alike. The man of the age, the non-military man who has demonstrated marked ability by romping through the water class, despite the severe obstacles which are always placed in the way of a man of hk color, warrants the support of everyone interested in the sport. Several weeks ago McVey took the office of the commission and tried to file a challenge against Mickey Walker. He was informed that George Courtney of Oklahoma was recognized as challenger, and if Walker failed to agree to meet Courtney in a specified time, which has expired, they would make Courtney take him on, and the winner be recognized as title holder here. Jess McMahon, matchmaker for the Garden, broached the match to the commission, and they apparently have lost interest in McVey, a Harlem boy, since they did not demand that Courtney either fight Jack or be suspended. Paddy Mullins, who managed Harry Wills, is Courtney's pilot. Do you recall the time when Paddy roamed the land howling that Wills was discriminated against because of his color? He views things differently now the position is reversed. George Ready for McVey. Personally I believe Courtney will fight McVey any time Mullins signs for the match. courtney will fight McC urs nor Bruce Flowers receive successful in convincing the swee stars. McVey, in his Walker. could consider local boys and such as Phil Scott, McC and character of boxers like McVey should make the and after that, George God n on one session, where it lighter. but the snore on Jimmy Mc with the white boys, or the and forget to vote, as in Slide, Brooklyn, the Bro commission. What's w Negro who reads this and James A. Farley and demi Neither Tiger Flowers nor Bruce Flowers received their due as boxers until the writer was successful in convincing the commission and the matchmakers that both were stars. McVey, in his division, is every whit as good as Courtney or Walker. If the commission would consider local boys as well as they advance the cause of foreigners, such as Phil Scott, McVey would get his opportunity. The comportment and character of boxers like Bruce Flowers, the late Tiger Flowers, and McVey should make the commission take some action in McVey's case, and after that, George Godfrey, the colored heavyweight, who stopped Munn in one session, where it took Scott ten rounds to knock out the same fighter. Godfrey, likewise, put the snore on Jimmy Maloney. Give the Negroes an equal chance with the white boys, or that big Negro vote in Harlem, might get angry and foment to vote in the past. Politicians of the East Side, Brooklyn, the Bronx and all localities get what they want from the commission. What's wrong with the colored leaders? I suggest that every Negro who reads this article write a personal letter to Commissioner James A. Farley and demand justice for McVey, a New York boxer.

Not in the squared circle, for only a selected few have had the privilege of meeting the dark brown fighter where the latter exercises his profession, and they are not bragging much about it. Al is the most popular foreign fighter who has come to France since the war. The Parisian public loves to see him in action, for the elegant Al is as pleasing to watch as Suzanne Lenglen or the Dolly Sisters. "Mais c'est un danseur" was an expression frequently heard at the Cirque de Paris when Al danced gracefully out to meet his opponent. And then later, when that deadly left would snap out to end the fight in the way all fights should end, one would hear the reply—"oui, mais un champion aussi." In private life Al is quite a nice champ to know. His modest, reserved, and unassuming manners make him one of the rare boys of his color in the fight game today who can be pointed to as living a quiet life outside the ring. To see Brown outside the ring one would never entertain the idea that this tall, slim lad, who can play almost any known variety of musical instrument and who is always entertaining friends at his apartment near the Bois de Boulogne, was a tip-top ring fighter, a boxer who one day may be the champion of the world at his weight. Tex Likes Him passed Brown as the thir- d, and Tex should kn continued to improve he very efficient, but very most fighters. "Al told me, "I und r so, between six and me an appetite for a s Tex Rickard classed Brown as the third best boy of his weight in the world, and Tex should know. The promoter added that if Al continued to improve he would probably copy the crown. Al Brown has a very efficient, but very different method of training than that of most fighters. "Every morning." Al told me, "I undergo my course of footing, four miles or so, between six and seven. I generally enjoy it and it gives me an appetite for a substantial breakfast. After a rest, a little reading or letter writing, I'm ready at eleven o'clock for lunch. "I do no boxing in the morning, but am always in the gym at one o'clock and work hard for three hours. Then back home for dinner at 5:30." "To bed early, I suppose," I suggested. Al shook his head and laughed. "Not at all. I am not one of those who go—or pretend to go—to bed at such unearthly hours as eight or nine o'clock. I like the movies, and when I don't go out in the evening I have a party at home. I never go to bed before twelve o'clock. Why, I've never been to bed before midnight since I've been in the fight game. But when I am tucked in—Gee, then I do sleep. Al says he never refuses a drink—of water! He is also very fond of milk. Brown, although standing 5 feet 11 inches without his socks, weighs only 118 pounds. In spite of his appearance he is a strong as the proverbial bull and can hit like a sledge hammer. "Mauler" Mascart is one lady who can testify to the truth of this statement. One can quite understand, however, that he should be as quick and as supple as a cat, and indeed he is. During his career in the ring Brown has fought 57 battles and won 42 of them by the knockout route. Al was born at Panama on July 5, 1902, and took part in his first ring contest July, 1924. Brown has many, hobbies and avocations, ranging from music to art. He is passionately fond of music. "I think I like the opera above everything else," he said: Walk Miller's Rendezvous With Death 4 When the Sun Was Sinking and the Crowds Had Departed the Man Who Had Guided the Destinies of Theodore (Tiger) Flowers to a Championship and Wealth Knelt at the "Tiger's" Grave in Sorrow, Silently Going Back Over the Road They Had Travelled Together, More as Friends Than Manager and Fighter. The Grief of Walk Miller Is Real and No Spoken Tribute Will Convey What He Felt When He Realized That His Champion Was Dead. "That is, everything outside the squared circle. My greatest ambition is to win the world's boxing title at my weight. "All I require is a chance. Give me a fight with the holder of the crown, under championship conditions — I'll do the rest." Brown plans to return to the States around the first of the year. He is going back with a fine record on this side and he expects to have that coveted title in his possession when he returns to Paris again. K.O.S FEATURE AMATEUR BOUTS Club Knockontle featured the amateur boxing show held under the auspices of St. Lucy's Catholic Club at St. Thomas' Hall last Tuesday night. Only one of the bout staged was a decision affair, of skirmishes resulting in knockouts, four of which were of the technical variety. Jim Rondell, of St. Lucy's C, C., coached a one-round knockout victory over William Canfield, of the Trinity Club, in the final bout in the 112-pound class. The end game after minutes and 2 seconds of milling was a decision when the St. Lucy boxer fended, stiff right to Canfield's mildsection, which dropped him for the fall count. In the final skirmish in the 130- inpound division, Leon Sansone, of the National A. C., kayed Nick Dubrino, at Joe Griem's Gym, in the second round. After battling for 1 minute and 15 seconds in the second canto, Sansone caught Dubrino on the chin in a terrific right hock that sent him to the canvas for the fatal count. The 115-pound final went to Leonard McKenna, of the Holy Name Club, who was victorious by default over Frank Cipriano, of the St. Lacy C. C. Cipriano, who dislocated his shoulder knocking out the center of the St. Lacy C. C. of New York, in his preliminary bout, was unable to meet McKenna in the final. In a special bout in the 120-pound division Walter Wetzel, of the National A. C., registered a technical knockout over Mat David, of the Salem-Crescent A. C., in the second boys had mixed things at a fast clip, and 10 seconds of the second stanza, David sustained a bad cut over his right eye and Referee Steva Sullivan stopped the proceedings to spare the Salem-Crescent fighter further punishment. Only Ambrosa, unattached, took the position of the light, when he outpainted Nathan Walker, unattached, in a lively three-round bout, which was a special 120-pounder. Ambrosa was the aggressor in the first two rounds and, although Walker took, the third one, the judges voted two to one in Amherst for favor at the conclusion. The summary class: 112-Pounder-Jim Bondnell, St. Louis's C. C., knocked out Jimmy Currese, William Canfield, Trinity Club, scored a technical knockout over Nick Time, 1 minute 38 seconds. 112-Pound Class (final)—Jim Rondnell, St. Lucy's C. C., knocked out William Canfield, Trinity Club, first round. Time, 2 minutes 51 seconds. 113-Pound Class—Leonard McKenna, Holy Name Club, won by a technical knockout over Michael Rorallei, Trinity Club, second round. Time, 2 minutes Frank Ciprlano, St. Lucy's C. C., of Brooklyn, knocked out Gus Pastor, St. Lucy's C. C., of New York, second round. Time, 2 minutes 43 seconds. 114-Pound Class (final)—Leonard McKenna, Holy Name Club, won from Frank Ciprlano, St. Lucy's C. C., of Brooklyn, default. 120-Pound Class (special)—Walter Wetzel, National A. C., won by a technical knockout over Matt David, Salem-Crescent-A. C., first round. Time, 1 minute 10 seconds. Tony Amheran, unattached, defeated Nathan Walker, unattached, judges' decision, three rounds. 130-Pound Class—Leon Sandone, National A. C., scored a technical knockout Siki Wins Wrestling Match from Jewish Champ SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—Reginald Sikl, Abyssinian strong man, and knight, was a renaissance rium last night with a well-filled pocketbook, but Freddy Lieberman, Jewish emperor, put on his purple emprise, as the Abyssinian took two of three falls from his Jewish rival mage, match staged before 1,000 persons. He used a tute and 30 seconds. He employed a head salissons to hold to throw Lieberman and armlock to pin his shoulders to the canvas. Lieberman the second fall took minutes and 50 seconds. Sikl took the third and final fall in 14 minutes and body salissons. Both wrestlers, giants in stature and skill, were loudly applauded as they left the mat at the finish of the match. "d skill, were loudly applauded as they left the mat at the finish of the match." TUSKEGEE TRIPLE THREAT MAN Being a Few Lines on How He Was Discovered by Coach An interesting story lies behind the manner in which Benjamin F. Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple threat man and stellar backfield ace, drifted into football. When Cleve L. Abbott, the Crimson coach, was asked to lead the officer and director of athletes at an institution out West, it was his duty to make a daily inspection of the quarters of the cadets. On one of these inspection tours he came across a small chap busily engaged in the study of "Gozinster," called by the boys of said institution. He twice two goes into four, three into six, four into eight, and five into ten, etc. In other words, it was the study of arithmetic. Abbott's discerning eyes noticed the boy's excellent calves and general all around physique and directed him to report the next day for a try out for the football team. The boy was reluctant at first, but finally decided to report to the coach. The youngster proved to be an apt apt and grasped the rudiments of the game without difficulty. Stevenson continued to show promise and Abbott nurtured him until today he is one of the greatest football players in uniform. One Philadelphia sport writer saw him in action in the game with Lincoln and Alabama's fine falf-back" and another in the game as the "bronze wizard of the gridiron." Be it said to the credit of Stevenson, through it all he remains unspoiled. BUFFALOES ISSUE DEFI The Original Buffaloes, Eastern League colored amateur basketball champions, under the leadership of their coach, George Ralston, athletic director of Junior High School 139, issues challenges to the following teams: The New York Collegians, Brooklyn Charlton and the Harlem Y.

Time, 2 minutes 11 seconds. Nick Dublin, Joe Girm's Gym knocked out Mickey Marks, Seward's 130-Pound Class (final)—Leon Sutton, National A. C., knocked out Nick Dublin, Joe Girm's 130-Pound Class (final). Second round time, 1 minute 18 seconds. Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty CHASE WENT OUT IN FIRST ROUND Elizabeth, N. J., Scrapper No Match for Miller of the National A. C. Henry Miller of the National A. C., knocked out Allan Chase, of the Elizabeth A. C., in the first round in the feature bout of the amateur boxing tournament under the auspices of the Maj. James A. McKenna Jr. Post, No. 190, at the New Ridgewood Grove Sporting Club last Wednesday night. The bout was a thriller from the start. At the bell the boys rushed from their corners and began to exchange blows at a lively clip. Miller, argument and laughter the two minutes and 25 seconds, had battled colocated rival into a helpless condition. A star left to the stomach foiled Chase. The boxes boxed in the 147-pound class. Another knockout was registered by Jack Rudkofo of the Gra-Port A. C. in the final bout in the 118-pound division. Rudkofo fought Johnny King of the National A. C. and, after stage three, made the in the third round to make the second landed a hard right to the latter's jaw after a minute and five seconds of the fourth chapter, which dropped King for the full count. In the final skirmish in the 160-pound class, Harry Smith, colored, supply's Gym, easily outpointed (sideout of the Gra-Port A. C.) the colored fighter forced the fight from the start. Joe Barry of the Unloport A. C. was the victor over George Barrett, of the Ozaman Association No. 4, by default in the final bout in the 118-pound division. Barrett resisted a punishment in his semi-final bout with Larry Sergio, unmatched, and as a result the doctors would not permit him to meet Barry in the final. A one-round knockout victory was scored by Al Santora of Willie Burns' Club of Jersey City, over Al Albeer of Beecher's Gym, in his intrepid encounter in the 112-pound class, and 30 seconds of battling in the initial round, the Jersey City boxer caught Albeer on the chin with a stiff right hook, which dropped him to the canvas for a dream.

The Invincibles have a reputation of being one of the strongest amateur aggregations on the Sound. In the line-up will be such well known players as George Washington, all scholastic guards, and Jerry Jarvis. Long Island's best basket shooter. The Y. M. D. fresh from their defeat by Wissahickon Bors' Club in Philadelphia by the score of 33-31, after an extra five minute play-off, has vowed that all other teams must fall before their assault, so a great game is expected on Saturday evening. Meteor Juniors will be the guests of the Cardinals and the M. Morris Club will oppose the Eagles in the preliminary games. First game called at 7:30 P. M., to which the public is cordially invited.

The decision was received with which filled the Cirque de Paris ever arrived at such a decision a very careful compilation of even, three went to Scillie and Final Ra Evidently the judges were by Scillie in the eleventh and At the first bell Brown tried then landed a left to the stone Scillie sent in a left to the body then landed two lefts to the fa body and brought over a right session. Henril Scillie, the Belgian champion featherweight, after thirteen rounds of hard fighting, received the decision from the judges on points over the Panama-American fighter. Al Brown The decision was received with derision by the huge crowd which filled the Cirque de Paris to capacity. How the judges ever arrived at such a decision it is hard to conceive. With a very careful compilation of the boxing, three rounds were even, three went to Scillie and seven rounds went to Brown. Final Rally Wins Evidently the judges were impressed by the work done by Scillie in the eleventh and the last round. At the first bell Brown tried with the left and missed. He then landed a left to the stomach and a left hook to the face. Scillie sent in a left to the body. Then it was a clinch. Brown then landed two lefts to the face. Scillie sent in a left to the body and brought over a right to the jaw. It was an even session. The second round started with Scilie crossing a right to the jaw and a left to the body. Brown then landed a hard left hook followed with a hard straight left to the face. Scilie then managed to land several smashes to the body. Brown then sent in several blows to the body and head and at the end of the session had the best of the round. Shortly after the bell for the third round Brown landed two lefts to the face and a right to the jaw. Scilie then crossed the right to the jaw. Brown then landed left to the face. Scilie crossed one over to the chin. Brown was forcing the fighting all through the last minute and was entitled to the round. The fourth round was also in favor of Brown. In the fifth session Scilie fought an even round with giving and taking willingly. The sixth round went to Brown by just a shade. Both fought hard in the seventh session. Brown was the first to lead with a left to the face. Scilie then forced Brown to the ropes and landed a few hard blows to the body when in close. Brown was cautioned for butting with his head. The round ended in favor of Scilie. In the eight round Brown used his left hand to great advantage and landed repeatedly without returns. There was considerable infighting during the three minutes, but the margin of points was in favor of the colored boy. Brown had a fair lead of the points in the ninth session. The tenth was a hard-fought session, and Brown was again cautioned for using his head. Scillie in the eleventh round made a fine impression, and he won the cleanest round of the entire fight. The twelfth round was an even break. Scillie tried hard in the last session and he kept forcing the fighting. Brown missed many times with his right and appeared to be very tired during the entire three minutes. Both were fighting hard at the final bell, and the round was much in favor of Scillie. Bouquillon won a close decision over Delarge, Belgian heavyweight champion, in a slow fight which followed the main bout. CARLTON Y. M. D.

It was an even BASKETBALL AT BORDENTOWN Alphonso Neal Elected Cap- tain of the 1928 Quintet BORDENTOWN, Nov. 29—With five of last year's eight letter men returned and with a wealth of new material on hand for development, basketball prospects at the Bordentown Manual Training School are taking on an exceedingly pleasant aspect for those who follow the athletics of the state vocational school. The colored lads last year produced a team that would have defeated any high school quintet in the state, so its followers claim, and early practice has set the squad on edge for another successful year. Alphonso Neal, Trenton boy, was recently elected captain to take the place of McCann, who failed to return to school this fall. With Russ, his running mate at forward, and Spruel at guard to form a nucleus, there should be little difficulty in filling the remaining places on the team. Dickerson and Doman are favorites for the running guard post, while Hilton, a towering youth well over six feet, shapes up impressively at center. Clark, Williams, Edwards, Hamilton and Coston also promise well. This year's schedule is not yet completed, but a southern trip is being arranged which will include games with St. Paul School, Hampton, if possible, Community of Washington, and Howard High of Wilmington. Contests at the Ironides' gmy are planned with Lincoln, Hampton, Community and other leading teams of the East. Ironides Complete Good Season Ironiders Complete Good Season. With only two regulars lost through graduation, the "Ironiders" football eleven is taking stock after a successful season. A 32-12 defeat Princess Anne on Thanksgiving Day gave ample revenge for a deat eight guarded the hands of the Maryland school last year, and closed the year with a record of two wins and three losses. After dropping a 40-7 game to Morgan College and a 14-12 contest to Dover State, the Ironiders swung into the best form of recent years and ran through Harrisonburg Y. M. C. A. Storer College, Cheyney Normal and Princess Anne Academy like an avenging fury, totaling 149 to their opponents 27. Edward, star tackle of the past two seasons, and "Hooks" Williams, brilliant running back, have played their last game for Bordentown, as they graduate in June.

I take here the liberty of quoting a few words from the Herald-Tribune of last week: "And Bill the Newtown second team ahead of nineteen other teams." I also take the liberty of giving you the results of the national championship, which were won by Brook Park, Newark, N. J. on Thanksgiving Day. Team prize was won by Brook Park, Newark, N. J. who competed, the performances follow; A. Lee of Curtis in 19th position and W. Burroughs of Newtown in 18th position. Those are desirable performances.

On the other hand, should she seek, molest and torment him as much as she possibly can? I most assuredly advise the latter. The first way is just what would please too many men. There is nothing that annoys a man more than being chased by a woman for whom he no longer cares, and especially is this true if the woman has a claim upon him. I'm sure that we all sympathize with "Heartbroken," the writer of the following letter: I am asking your advice as I am almost insane with despair. This is the story; In Chicago I loved a fellow for over a year. He was more than nice then, but after putting him off for so long I fell for him the same week I was leaving for Philadelphia. And when I discovered I was to become a mother, I wrote and told him. After much persuasion, he promised to come in a few weeks to marry me. In the meantime I told friends I was married and my husband was coming, but at the expected time he wrote he was going away, and if the kid resembled him when it was born, then he would marry me. I was so disgusted and heartbroken that I came to New York City to keep people from knowing. Here I couldn't find work and was penniless. A social worker sent me to the hospital. At last I heard from the man. He was sorry and was coming to keep his promise. The day the baby was born he telephoned and promised to come to see me, but failed. He never even sent me a flower. Later, I was given a position with the baby out here, but I am far from happy. The baby is four months old now. It hurts to know it hasn't a name. I know I did wrong, but I am trying to atone for it by raising my child to be a real man. But, Eggyss Ann, if he only had a namel. I am from a good family and I can't let my parents know. Must I forever hide and duck relatives and friends because I made a mistake? I still love the fellow and would get on my knees to ask him to marry me, simply to give a name for the baby. But I don't know where he is. I am losing interest in everything, and am merely existing for the child's sake. I love my child, so why should I have to hide and suffer while the man goes free? Should I try to find and make him marry me? HEARTBROKEN. My Dear Heartbroken: The first thing that I advise you to do is to write your mother and tell her everything. She will understand. Of course, she will be disappointed in you and terribly hurt, but she is your mother and you are still her little girl. If you are under age, the case can be taken to court, but since the affair happened in Chicago it is left with Chicago to settle it. Alone you can do very little. The man is not afraid of you. If your family steps in, it will be a different matter. Ask them to try to help you locate him. Most likely he is right in Chicago. Save your money and take good care of yourself for your child's sake. I'm glad you've got a good position and can keep baby with you. The big trouble with you is that you still love the man and are trying to shield him. Don't realize by now how selfish and low he is? If he loved you, do you think he'd let you suffer alone when he could do so much to help you? Stick to your job and let your mother know all. I feel that she can and will do more for you than anyone else. * I will be very glad to hear how you make out. If you change your address be sure to let me know.

Your Horoscope BY THEARCHER The sun is past the conjunction with Saturn, and offers a bit easier time to most of the folks born in this week. The health of all these natives will be easily upset, and the tendency to nervous depression will be more frequent. The temper will be the cause of much annoyance and discomfort unless well controlled. Saturn depletes the vitality and focuses the natives on dates who are under his influence to slow in every line of endeavor, and those who will not follow a deliberate and thoughtful course in the coming year will certainly think that the gods have come to destroy them. Plenty of sleep and fresh air are for all these natives. Orange juice twice daily will help them keep well. Colds and all bronchial affections should be promptly checked, or the natives of these dates will become immortal. December the 7th brings its natives a birthdate of success and much illness; in fact, many of these natives will undergo some serious operations. However, most of these operations will be successful. The birth moment is the deciding factor. The success is likely to come in some creative line of endeavor, probably some interesting invention connected with aero-mechanics. Those who follow professional vocations will have a measure of success if they stick to regular routine.

December the 8th is a birthdate that promises joy and sorrow in bounteous measure. Many of the men folk will suffer grief because of the troubles of some feminine member of their family. The last of the birthyear will begin to show much improvement, but these people should not expect very much from the year as a whole, and should try to make the best of things as they are. December 9th is a birthdate that promises many changes to its children; most of them will seem better, but should must be; they should study philosophy or go to church, and avoid too much worry. The year seems to indicate some happiness through romance, and success for those who work in liquids or chemicals, as well as to those who are celloists. December 10th promises a year that will be full of delays and obstacles. Most of the plans these people make are due to fail. They could stick to the old things and plans and succeed much better.

Johnson was given from twenty years to life in Sing Shing, for the murder of Maurice Johnson. In his statement to the court Mr. Perry stated that in all of his thirty-five cases he did not see a clearer case for the Stata, hence he would not consume the time he was given to work on the change of plea, which was granted.

This caused the two men to Johnson is alleged to have gone out on the stoop of the house and waited with an jeepie and when Leon Cowan died, to death. He then made his escape.

Mr. Gaugin, it was learned through his personal representative, George Morris, whose headquarters are in New York City, will begin work on his productions immediately upon his arrival. Mr. Morris is well known through his association with Negro activities and made known a number of plans which Mr. Gaugin has formed for his First of all, it has been stated authoritatively, Mr. Tangui intends to combine in his entertainments those whose life as well as the elaborate staging that is typical of the Nordic theatres, the French impressives and diaphanous roles, why the Negro should be expected to demonstrate his art in tumbled-down and diaphanous settings, comfort of the players and audiences are lacking. Furthermore, Maurice went into practice of giving authentic Negroid plays and revues for Negro audiences alone. At theatrical attire, a medium which will please Nordic audiences as well, and thereby break down some of the unpossible prejudices that exist among The arrival in America of Mr. Gaugin is the result of his conviction that America is a Negro theological, "cycle." He points to the fact that Europe is currently awaiting Negro entertainment and that it is the first time the country previously. He cites the success of the late Florence Mills in London, and the present popularity of Josephine Baker in New York. The admiration for the Negro's art said Gaugin in a recent interview, "is more apparent in Europe than in America, and I am particularly shout that their country is a great democracy. The individual Negro in Europe is looked upon by the most people in a human being, and only in rare instances are expressions of prejudice heard—and in these instances the fanatics come from people of little consequence. "This very state of affairs has prompted me to produce Negro enterants to produce Negro enterants to undertake this task in Paris or any other city on the Continent I shall assemble casts of American Negroes, or the best adapted to express themselves. In fact, for more so than the Negroes of any other country, I will spend the times, and I agree with French critics that she possesses personality and gifts that must certainly hope to find and develop other artists of her caller while I am in the States. "Not only in Paris and London Negro revues, operetas and other forms of dramatic art can play, not only successful but to highly appreciative Returning to the question of the so called "cycle" Maurice Gaugin points to the attainment was a novelty and was well received in European cities, but that it died down suddenly and then sprang up again and later with Josephine Baker. It should be said that the Negro "cycle" is also true right here in America, and it is not a new few years ago when "Shuffle Alone" demonstrated that Nordic audiences could derive a high degree of satisfaction from legends like the cause along, as did Paul Rohdeen. Two years, however, intervened before many negro shows played in New York's "Boutique" and "Bottomland," "Africanan," "Rang Tang," Lord Dunny's "If," presented by the Grand Street Players, "Porgy," "Golden Door," "Motherland," Hammond's "Snow Boy," "Bob," presented and produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, and other outstanding successes with all-Negro part Negro casts springing up few years, and then even more Negro players will delight Broadway audiences. Before the present Negro "cycle" will unintentionally make their appearances in America's Metropolis, as the French impressario believes that it is possible to do original Negro retrospects along the coast, and Mr. Mertle is championing for Nordic Mr. Mertle. The first revue which Mr. Gaugin presents will probably be a very good one. Mr. Mertle the city has not yet been named for the debut of the first Gaugin production. Speakin' o' Performers SAM Manning ceased us the information that he is this week in Gibson's Dunbar Theatre at Philadelphia presenting his Brown Sugar "role" rehearsal with Sam and we were fair with Sam when we failed to enthuse over his "Black Magic," which appeared at the Lafayette Theatre last week. IF "Black Magic," as some of our writings and authorship souls) told us last week, was the real giz and all of that, why in the name of all that's good Sam did not take it to Mr. Gibson. We suspect that the memorable and Sam was forced to bring forth the show we said was far better than "Black Magic." WHAT also goes to prove that John T. Gibson and Josse Dinson are not patient with the challenge to the sold of shows outside of the Amsterdam News. We admit that there are times when those columns slip up, but you can have been too busy to personally give the productions the once over. AT the Alhambra Theatre last Saturday night we saw a little contest that was not advertised nor was it thought anything of the kind would be in the future in colour, but content it was just the same. The chorus from Dewey Wingelass' revue at the Lafayette trotted on and went over nicely, then came the chorus of the Alhambra. WE firmly believe that those Alhambra girls knew what they were doing when they turned on their steps, for the people called them back three times and just ran rings around the Lafayette Theatre representatives. Armanda Randolph did that Alhambra chorus, AND HOW? WHAT about those theatrical managers entering to colored patronage forming a combination and working for the benefit of all concerned? Most of you see a revue at ong the theatre because of inability to secure bookings, closes after one week's showing. MRS. Downs is now interested in the Alhambra and Lincoln Theatres, which gives us a chain of three houses, with the Lafayette, in New York City. The Glenhaven is Dunharn and, Standard Thea- nce in Philadelphia, the Orphan in DID THEY SHUT OUT THE LINCOLN THEATRE? French Producer Coming to Present Shows "Rang-Tang," beginning Monday, Nov. 21, and ending Saturday of the same week, shattered box office records for musical comedy productions in Boston, at the Tremont Theatre. An engagement of several weeks is scheduled and a three weeks' advance "sell-out" is reported, which demonstrates that colored showdom has not deteriorated since the days of "Shuffle Along." Walker and Kavanaugh, who present Miller and Lyles in "Rang-Tang," are exceedingly lucky to have assembled such an aggregation of singers and singers to uphold the traditions of racial theatrical productions. The settings and costumes are unduly artistic and the fashion displayed goes beyond the modern trend of Parisian modes, especially those of the ensembles, which are gorgeous. Flourney Miller, one of the principals, staged the production and has worked wonders with his hard working cast. Leastly, Ford Dahney directs the orchestra in person and when the house is in darkness his red-light tipped baton is seen waving the symposied beats of the score with amazing dexterity before thrilled audiences during each performance. Mythical "Jimtown," somewhere in the Southland, is the scene of this almost plottess musical "get-to-gether," which abounds in two hours of laughter, mirth and jazz. It is "rip roaring" from curtain to curtain. Josephine Hall, Zatdee Jackson, Maude Russell and the double male sorrette easily win the singing honors. Byron Jones and the Zulu steppers are dancing demons, stopping the show at intervals with the magic twist of their bodies, legs and feet. Evelyn Preer, who has been transformed from an actress of heavy drama into musical comedy, works very hard to give a good account of herself, but the strain seems too great for her to become adapted to the new environment of fast-stepping hilarity after being identified so long in the past with drama that made her famous. It seems that she is lost in this melee of color and glamour, but time may cure the transformation that has taken place in her stage career, which in the future should accord her greater plaudits than she received during the period of serious roles she created. So far, her entry into musical comedy should be considered unfortunate and unopportune. She was a genius in her old sphere. To see her now receiving scant notice from audiences is really a tragedy, and not fully recognized by a majority who witness each performance. All that can be written as far as Miss Preer is concerned is that the signs of "stardom" in musical comedy were never read in her hand before she entered the footlights. A financial consideration was the reason. Only a brave woman like Evelyn Preer would make such a sacrifice. Miller and Lyles are the same inimitable droll funmakers. The old boxing stunt is briefly re-enacted and a new "numbers skilt" on the black-board is cleverly done, as of yore. A non-stop flight to Africa in an aeroplane with turbulent waves rolling over a dark ocean is portrayed by these two comedians with a dialogue that is unusual because of the limitations of "overdrawn" chatter and the danger of a scene of this kind falling flat. They hold the audience at this point just long enough to get their bearings for the next scene, where the "tom-toms" are beating on the lonely shores of Africa. The most popular air of the production is "Rang-Tang." It is a classy, jazzy number and should become famous as one of the latest dances in select circles. The movements are easy and graceful. This is one of the best spots in the show, and Miss Preer tries to shine and with constant coaching should grow better and better. Before entering Boston, Broadway and several other cities have Cever Kiddie Little Alice Manzon of College Point, L. I., Appeared With the Poppenhusen Institute Dramatic Club Last Friday Night and Her Dancing and Impersonations of Different Characters of the Broadway Stage Won Her Great Acclaim. Newark, N. J. the Howard and Lincoln the Wakefield Opera and the New Pearl Theatre in Philadelphia and one or two houses in Baltimore. We smile to ourselves when theatrical managers try to tell us how much they are doing for the performances. It is to laugh. Here's an opportunity of dishing out at least five twilight weeks, with a chance of making ten on return dates, and not a thing to be done. Shucks, in the days when better things were being produced shows were getting as good a break as anything being done now. And when he revues do get a chance to go out half the time they are forced to skip ewart, go on in to Philadelphia and maybe get a chance to amble in to Washington. Sometimes they are forced to leave New York and go direct to Washington. They also come in the same way. If things were being run with an idea of getting the best out of the productions and giving the performers a real chance, a show could go by easy stages, hereby saving money, from New York to Washington, and if it happened to be good enough, could play return dates and continue to travel by the same easy stages. Our plan would be to leave New York, go to Newark, then Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. SHOW us some speed in this direction and we will then believe an attempt really being made inside of doing it, the performers inside of doing it, the sheikhs. One manager in New York has a way of shecting to performers, one or is doing for the performer? Well, Dougherty will at least be fair "o them you not missing it, when they are not, and also he will, whenever space permits, come out and cry aloud these people who are doing their utmost to please audiences. We have also done little more for quite a few of them but that it is not for us to say these things. A close examination of figures and what it is casting over the colored revue producers to get together their shows is shown. They are making the kind of money they should make. By the time a revue producer gets through paying for the shows, fifty per cent on advertising, etc., he has very little left. A Negro cannot hope to compete with a white producers, and the gross will be given the latter, a certain number of his musicians are paid by the theatre management and the average revue producer must shoulder an expense of about $1,000 and—oh, well, we are going deeper into the why of actors, why they act, why Walt and see. You can count all the colored attractions that can play to an $8,000 gross on three shows. You can count all the shows they are Drake and Walker, Whitman Sisters and Ethik Waters. ETHEL WATERS AT LAFAYETTE "Africanland," one of the best colored shows that Broadway has seen since 1992, is my favorite (ninety next week).

Dougherty: DMH/D Boys, did you see that show party at Harlem's upstown house last week? Nothing but a downtown stage parade, is what I call it. You, sir, that's my baby in Charlie Davis' hottest revue called "Variety," of which the spice of fo is nothing but—and how! Lincoln patrons were handed a bright yellow lemon from the Florence Mills Memorial Committee when they allowed the management to sell tickets and then cancel the show less than two hours before, curtain time. Mr. Raymond was a big fan of Mr. Raymond, but into print with the announcement that all he did was donate the theatre, which was promptly handed back to the committee. And the committee's inward and spiritual grace (?), or what have you? The Lincoln management promises never gain to allow any committee or committee to distribute lemons to his patrons but if human error should cause a slip, be assured that fruit won't be quite as yellow! Well, ragtime heals all wounds, and Dr. Drake and Walker, assisted by their cyclonic jazz band, are treating Lincoln patients to a good dose of laughs and jazz. Drake and Walker's forty cheer professors are rally forty just their name means high quality entertainment. Those who delight in the little and rolling movement of the Hawaiian hula dance will find their delicious excitement appeared by fostering their eyes upon Clara. Now, the original ukulele lady, in "Hulu," Clara Bow is the perfect star in the perfect setting in this flanker story of Hawaiian society—a tale of love in the tropics, wherein in island mald, a tantalizing tease, holds her heart aloof from the men who warm about her—until a handsome young Englishman comes to visit her.�hare's manion. Then, too, there are laughs and plenty in this colorful South Sea romance. You can meet "Hulu" Benefit Shows Here a Success But Like the Noble Six Hundred, Somebody in Authority Blundered The artistic success of the midnight performances held Saturday at the Lafayette and Alhambra theatres simultaneously, for the benefit of the Florence Mills Memorial Home was exceeded only by the inexcusable blundering of the Florence Mills Memorial Committee in handling its patrons. At least three couples sitting in the Lafayette balcony were ousted from their seats, some of whom demanded their money back, when others appeared with tickets for the same seats. Tickets were sold for a similar performance at the Lincoln Theatre up to 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, when Jesse Shipp, one of the Committee, telephoned the management and cancelled the performance. When other members of the Committee arrived at the Lincoln they expressly one would like to the blame. We made all our arrangements with Mr. Shipp., the Lincoln management team, so that it would come to placing the blame. We did, however, receive the very lame excuse that the bill said they would perform three theatres. We sent performers from our show to the other two theatres, and some should not be done by us. It was a most unfair thing, not only to us but to our patrons, to cause the tickets here were not selling fast enough, but it unutterted not if only 200 people had attended to a show as 2,000. The Lincoln management then telephoned the Lafayette and Alhambra to earn if they would take care of Lincoln-patrons. The Lafayette is alleged to have reported "sold out" and the Alhambra sold they would do the best they could although all their reserved seats had gone. Scores of people returned to the Lincoln and demanded the return of their money when they were unable to get in at either theatre, and the Lincoln box office was kept busy until nearly 2 a. m. The Alhambra reported the sale of standing room until 3 a. m. and every square foot of space at the Lafayette was crowded. The Lincoln Theatre reported an additional loss and inconvenience when they were obliged to place a rush order for new tickets on Wednesday when the admission price for orchestra seats was boosted from $1.50 to $2.00, and many $1.50 seats were sold during the first three days of the week. The following detectives from the West 135th street station under Detective Sergeant Battle maintained order among the crowds at the theatres: Bauerschmidt, Crosby, Matthews, Nelson, Brown, Winterhalter, Christiano, Webber, Boyden, and Moore. Time would not permit one-half of the sixty performers and vaudeville teams to appear between midnight and midnight. Fletcher Henderson, Jack Benny, Jimmy Marshall and Ernest Whitman acted as masters of ceremonies.

Gorgeous choruses of triumphs showed had preceded them, and it was, in theatrical parlance, a "tough spot." That means, after the "hair of the preceding acts, it would be difficult for the Alhambra Girls to score a hit.

OMEGAS HONOR MILLER On Saturday evening, November 19, the Zeta Psi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity held a smoker at the home of Paul Jones, 1475 Bergen street, Brooklyn, in honor of Alexander F. Miller, one of their number, for his having been elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Over sixty men were present, including members, pledges and guests from other fraternities, and every man present enjoyed the evening to the full. The program was a typical fraternity one, with James Holbrook presiding. He introduced the Basilleus of the Zeta Psi Chapter, Clarence N. Johnson, who delivered a spirited welcome to the guests. Attorney Stanley M. Douglas was the principal speaker of the evening. SPECIAL ARTICLES "African Abroad" Author Appraises Ovington's Portraits N two hundred and forty-one pages, the Viking Press of New York has published a very attractive work, both from the literary and mechanical viewpoint, by Mary White Ovington, entitled "Portraits in Color." The author says in her foreword: "Thirty years ago it might have been possible to choose the twenty Negroes who could properly be called the most distinguished representatives of their race. Today no one can make such a choice—the colored men and women who have done important work are too many in number. I have, therefore, chosen my portraits with the idea of covering a wide range of achievements. This has meant the omission of many able and well-known educators, executives, artists, writers, musicians. It has been possible to present only one or two examples in each profession. Keeping Fit BY E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. IF WE roughly assume that the earth's civilized people, in the accepted sense of the term, may be placed at 500,000,000, and that among these the normal cancer death rate is not less than 80 per 100,000, we are confronted with an annual loss of not less than 400,000, a truly imposing aggregate, which cannot be far from the actual truth. Among the remainder of the world's population, which may be assumed to amount to 1,200,000,000, the true cancer death rate cannot exceed 10 per 100,000, thus the world's mortality from cancer is approximately 500,000 per year. This is a staggering total. It gives you an idea of what is called the cancer problem. "I have written of no one whom I have not met and seen at work. The portraits are drawn from life. This also has limited my choice." James Weldon Johnson, Marcus Harvey, Mary Yerman, Mordecai W. Johnson, Lloy Laney, Robert Russo Moton, W. E. Burghardt DuBois, Solpio Africanus Jones, Walter White, Robert S. Abbott, Maggie Lena Walker, Eugene Kinchlea Jones, Louis Tompkins Wright, Ernest Everett Just, George Washington Carver, James Porter Barrett, Langston Hughes, Paul Roberson, Meta Vaux, Warrick Fuller and Roland Hayes are the persons Miss Ovington writes about. It certainly shows a breadth of view to attempt to estimate twenty persons who represent such different types of mind and are engaged in such diverse pursuits. Essayists, poets, novelists, educators, editors, missionaries, scientists, artists, musicians, actors, social workers, fraternal organizers, sculptors, agriculturists, radicals, conservatives, ultra radicals and ultra conservatives are all sized up and estimated by Miss Ovington. The book very plainly reveals that the partiality and favoritism that have been attributed to some of the leaders of the N. A. A. C. P. can not be predicated of Miss Ovington. Then, as the reader peruses the book, he will be impressed with the fairness of the writer. She sketches in an interesting manner the main facts in the life of her portraits and then with the intuition and sympathy that is characteristic of her sex, penetrates to Keeping By E.

It gives the cancer problem. The cause of cancer has not yet been found. But this we do know, that cancer has increased among civilized people. Cancer as a disease is extremely rare and often entirely absent among primitive races. This undoubtedly points to the fact that the habits of living among civilized people are in some way conductive to the formation and growth of cancer. The inhalation of smoke and dust from factories, the overeating of lessened nutritional quality of meats, sugar and starches, the prepared foods, the use of bodily irritants such as tobacco, and the modern use of obstructive corsets, are some of the causes which un determine bodily health and predispose civilized people to cancer disease. Prevention of cancer, or the reduction in its prevalence, is going to take a long time. Education along personal hygiene and industrial hygiene is where most good will come. Cancer will ever be, even if a cause is found and given to a waiting world. We know the cause of leprosy and tuberculosis, yet these diseases continue to prevail. We know the cause of yellow fever and malaria, yet still these diseases occur from time to time. We know the cause of syphilis, yet its deadly stronghold grips the civilized world. The best that science can look for is an early diagnosis of cancer and thorough treatment by radium in accessible cases, or complete surgical operation in those cases where radium cannot be used. Cancer in the tongue, lip, nostr, womb and rectum are the most frequent places of this deadly disease. Any abnormality in the core of the personality of those she is writing about. As a psychological study the book is very valuable. James Weldon Johnson Miss Ovington devotes seventeen pages to James Weldon Johnson, who, as educator, song-writer, diplomat, novelist, poet and secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., has attained some prominence. Others have wondered why he enjoys an ascendancy which other colored men equally or almost equally as gifted do not enjoy. Miss Ovington explains why. She says: "For the outstanding trait in this man of many talents is his charm. Charm is a hard thing to define. Friendliness must surely be there and a kindly spirit. But many feel friendliness and are unable to express it. An unconscious self-respect must also be present. Then the personality escapes in a gesture, an expression, a word, and meets its friend. So it is with this colored man; consequently, as he moves in the City of New York upon his business or his pleasure he receives more consideration than any Negro of as dark a skin as he." Not a transcendent orator like Frederick Douglass, Mr. Johnson, yet, like the immortal Douglass, possesses that fusing of prudence and high character which can command the respect of men. He is a writer with a winning personality. His "God's Trombone" has a Homeric grandeur and simpli- Fit NS, M.D. In the earth's civilized people, in term, may be placed at 500,000, the normal cancer death rate 500, we are confronted with an 400,000, a truly imposing aggre- ment the actual truth. The world's population, which is 1,200,000,000, the true cancer per 100,000, thus the world's exactly 500,000 per year. This is you an idea of what is called oughtly examined in order to avoid delay in case there is cancer. Many quick doctors exist who always have a cure for cancer. They keep the sick one coming for treatment until it is too late for a thorough radium treatment or a complete surgical operation. In the light of modern science, this would be laughable if there were not so much tragedy to this practice. I know a woman with a breast cancer who was told by a quack doctor to "wait until it begins to bleed before surgery is needed." Another woman, 60 years of age, who had a cancer of the breast, was told that she had "caked breast." Bleeding from a cancerous womb, a woman was told by another quack specialist that she had "a return of menstruation," and by still another that she was suffering from a "cold of the pelvis." Another woman, who had a good chance for a cure with complete surgical operation, was told that her condition was "not yet ripe for operation." A man with cancer of the rectum was informed by an advertising quack that he had "a bad case of pilus." Another man with cancer of the lip was told that he "had a canker." A woman, 43 years old, who was having bleeding from the womb, was majestically informed that this "was the menopause." Everything but the right thing was told in diagnosis and treatment. Such malpractice, together with those cases where, the person knows something is wrong, but makes no effort to seek competent advice, are the cases that make cancer deaths so provulent. "A stitch in times saves nine" is very true in this matter of can- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 7, 1927 Garvey, DuBois and Others "The Venice of the North" ity and represents the ripe fruit of his poetic genius. **Marcus Garvey** Then in thirteen pages, Miss Ovington takes up Marcus Garvey, a man far removed from James Weldon Johnson. Mr. Johnson is a talented writer and a cultured gentleman, who represents a blending of common-sense and manliness. Marcus Garvey is a bold, daring, imaginative and compelling orator, rude in his manners, with a passion for propaganda and a genius for organization. Miss Ovington is very fair to the man who hitherto assailed the organization that she represents. She tells the story of Marcus Garvey's life and of the rise of the movement that for four years riveted the attention of the civilized world and gives a resume of the history of his business ventures. She gives two typical specimens of Mr. Garvey's eloquence and then, towards the close of her chapter on Marcus Garvey, shows why the European governments opposed Garvey. She says: "For the call of race is a real thing. And those who are holding a land by conquest, who squeeze the orange and give the native the rind, may legitimately feel a little nervous when across the ocean, in the richest country in the world, a stocky black man, dressed in robes the colors of which symbolize race, blood and hope, speaks to an illimitable multitude of black men, saying: "We cannot allow a continuation of these crimes against our race. As four hundred million men, women and children worthy of the existence given us by the Divine Creator, we are determined to solve our own problem by redeeming our Motherland Africa from the hand of alien exploiters and found there a government, a nation of our own, strong enough to lend protection to the members of our race scattered all over the world and to compel the respect of the nations and the races of the earth." It might be in bad taste to even seem to criticise a book that is characterized by the luminosity, the sweetness and the charm of Amsterdam Is Rich in Relics of Colonization AMSTERDAM. THIS city is often called "The Venice of the North," but its only resemblance is the many canals. It is the largest city in Holland, with a population of 750.000. Amsterdam is rich in relics of American colonization. At the Schreyerstoren, near the railroad station, is the spot in which Henry Hudson sailed in the "Half Moon," a voyage that ended in the discovery of New York and its colonization by the Dutch. Hudson, an English navigator, had been employed by the East India Company to find a way to the East Indies through the Arctic Sea. On Haarlem street is the West India House in which the plans were laid and carried out for the colonization of New Netherland, a tract of land which Included New York, parts of Connecticut and New Jersey. Later, the English claimed this colony by right of discovery and took it. But the Dutch succeeded in driving out the English, and again called it New Netherland, to lose it finally by treaty. It is from Holland that came the New York aristocrats, the Rhinelanders, the Van Burans, Vanderbilts, and others, while the New England aristocrats came from England. At Delftshaven, in Rotterdam, is the place from which the Mayflower sailed. The Pilgrim Fathers, on leaving England, had come to Holland, and after spending eleven years in Amsterdam were forced to leave because of economic conditions. In Holland, however, they had found plenty of religious freedom, hence the saying that they came to America in order to worship their God is only one of the reasons why we admit that that God was gold. All who came to America did so for economic gain, except the Negro. To the Dutch also America owes most of its religious freedom. The Puritans of New England were every whit as tyrannical as the Catholics they had escaped in England. Quakers and Baptists were held by them in a worse light than Communists are now by us. It was a crime to be a Baptist, and if one entertained a Quaker he was liable to heavy fines. Every now and then Quakers were hardened together and sold as slaves in the West Indies. On Kalver street, No. 10, are the archives of the Dutch Reformed Church with reports of the work that had been done in America. Amsterdam News By WILLIAM H. FERRIS Miss Ovington's work. But there were two statements in the chapter on Marcus Garvey that need supplementing. On page 23 Miss Ovington speaks of "Noah Thompson of Los Angeles, a prominent citizen, whose endorsement gave Garvey prestige on the Coast." That is true, because Noah Thompson was a delegate to Garvey's 1921 as president of the Los Angeles division and was my tornificable rival for the position of Assistant President-General. But he incurred Mr. Garvey'sire by demanding in open convention an accounting of the funds of the Black Star Line and the Association. But, as nearly all of those who built up the movement that Mr. Garvey fathered ultimately broke with him, perhaps Miss Ovington didn't seem it necessary to state that Mr. Thompson, too, broke from the traces and went on his way rejoicing. judgment of his thinkers. W. E. Burghai So soon we come to most brilliant pam-book—the thirteenth Miss Ovington esthols, the editor of the author of "Se Folk," "Darkwater books. Dr. DuBols is a derstood man. Fifth he was slightly under Ph.D. in the he published the Folk," whose schoofy, witchery of ing melody and itsquence riveted the Caucasian world at take the black manitions seriously. Dr. Ovington, of course, admired and enthused that they Falls in the late Then, again, at the bottom of page 27 and top of page 28, Miss Ovington said of the mythical Phyllis Wheatley steamship: "She never came into her own name, because the Black Star Line, recipient of over half a million dollars, had not twenty-five thousand to pay on deposit for her. She remained the Orion and the property of the United States Shipping Board." Now, the Black Star Line did deposit $25,000 in escrow in a New York bank in the spring of 1921 and this was subsequently turned over to the United States Shipping Hold the offer open for a few weeks. But the difficulty was that the Black Star Line could not raise or borrow the remaining $225,000 within the stated time. But, as even many stockholders did not know just why the Phyllis Wheatley failed to materialize, it is no mystery that Miss Owington, who was not a stockholder, should be mlsinformed. Marcus Garvey, a mass leader, wisely attached to himself men of thought as well as men of action. But, unfortunately, he relied more on the counsel of his trumpeters and bugle blowers than, on th Bv J. A. ROGERS of Tears, so called because the women wept there for the departing males, still stands. Its steps are eaten deep with the footprints of centuries. The building from which the colonists were sent is now being used as an orphan asylum. Among other principal sights of Amsterdam are: the King's Palace in the Dam Place (note: THE NEW YORK TIMES Dam is pronounced with a long "a" and not like our favorite "cuss-word"); the Ryks Museum with two of the most famous pictures of Rembrandt—"The Night Watch," and the "Lesson in Anatomy"; Rembrandt House in the Jewish Ghetto; and the Old Capitals, with their black, stagnant water. Amsterdam is also the center of the world's diamond cutting trade—the Cullman, Kohinoor and other famous diamonds were cut here. There are some fifty of these places, the majority of which are owned by Jews. Indeed, it is to the Jews, the Portuguese Jews, that Amsterdam ques its pre-eminent Jew, after the pillage of Antwerp by the Spanards, took refuge here, and although they met with many obstacles they held their own. Today they still live in the Ghetto, but I understand that there are no restrictions against them. I visited the Ghouto and walked over it, and if I am to tell the truth, I must say that never before have I seen such unsanitary conditions. In some streets there was a carpet of rubbish that seemed it had not been cleared for months. One of them, Lance Houstraat (Contrunt), is simply the most littered street I have ever seen, including the time of the street sweepers' strike in New York. I am recording this fact because as I said in an earlier article I judgment of his scholars and thinkers. W. E. Burghardt DuBois Soon we come to one of the most brilliant passages in the book—the three pages in which Miss Ortington settles Dr. DuBois, the editor of The Crisis and the author of "Souls of Black Fok," "Darkwater" and other books. Dr. DuBols is a slightly misunderstood man. Fifteen years ago he was slightly overrated. Now he is slightly underrated. A Harvard Ph.D. in the spring of 1903, he published the "Bouls of Black Folk," whose scholarship, poetic beauty, witchery of phrase, haunting melody and impassioned eloquence riveted the attention of the Caucasian world and forced it to take the black man's higher aspirations seriously. Dr. DuBols' colored friends and admirers were so enthused that they met at Nigarag Falls in the late summer of 1905 and in the late summer of 1906 lifted him on their seals and halted him Chief. The colored people of Savannah, Ga., in the late winter of 1906 packed the Fort Baptist Church to hear Dr. DuBols lecture. And so it went from 1903 to 1907, when Dr. DuBois and William Monroe Trotter, who championed him in his paper, The Boston Guardian," came to the parting of the way. Dr. DuBois was given a new lease of life in the spring of 1909, when N. A. A. C. P. was formed and powerful white friends rallied to his aid. He remained on the crest of the wave until the summer of 1919, when Marcus Garvey began to outdistance all of the colored leaders in massing and mobilizing Negroes. The Nation of New York, in an article or editorial after Garvey's convention of 1921, attempted to explain why Garvey was more of a mass leader than Dr. DuBois or James Weldon Johnson. But the matter needs no explanation. The mob rallies to a Garvey, a man with a bold, daring, imaginative, magnetic and compelling personality; a man who possesses either superfaith in God or superfaith in himself and superfaith in Holland was the cleanest country on earth, Jews, by the way, were not the exclusive residents, and the adjoining sections were almost as bad. In this quarter also is the Portuguese synagogue, a very old structure, as well as many of the diamond cutting establishments. I visited one of them and saw how the diamonds were fitted into leaden tops and put on revolving wheels to be polished. Scores of cutters and polishers were at work in the place. A singular fact: no one seemed to be on guard. In New York or any other large American city a small, army would have been necessary. On entering, I saw a decidedly seedy individual at the door, who offered to show me around. Imagine my surprise when, after showing me some of the processes, he took an envelope from his breast pocket and began to display dozens of large diamonds with a view to my purchase. Such an outlay in one's pocket would be equivalent to a death warrant in Chicago and one in Boston. The man was the manager of the place. The Dutch, at least, haven't learned high finance in ban ditry. The spectacular raids on banks and bank messengers, common in America, are almost unknown in Europe. The European works with greater finesse. The Dutch, or at least the lower classes, are a very merry people. I was in Amsterdam on the Queen's birthday anniversary and never before have I seen people give themselves up so to joy. There was dancing in the cafes, while great crowds thronged the narrow streets joking and laughing. I had always been told that these Nordic people are a cold, rober lot. The average Negro group, high or low, as I know it. Can You Tell? 1. What baseball player was recently lauded by Cuban experts as the greatest exponent of the game? 2.

Who is the author of Cane? the hol polloi. It takes faith, buoyant faith, to generate enthusiasm. But a man endowed with the natural qualities of mass leadership would hardly be impressed the world with his scholarship and culture as Dr. DuBois has done. To enthuse the masses, the note of optimism must somehow and somewhere be sounded. The prospective leader must present as an objective some terrestrial or celestial Paradise, some New Jerusalem or some Land of Promise to be reached in the near future. Mankind lives by faith. Hope springs eternal in the human breast. The dreamer, the propounder of a new creed and the creator of a program can always command a following. With faith in heaven losing its ancient force, with faith in civic and political recognition and with a growing economic and faith in the political and economic emancipation in the West Indies growing dim, Garvey offered his followers Africa, and they rallied like the crusaders rallied to save the Holy Land. With the hope of the possibility of saving Africa in the near future fading away, I hardly know what Vision Splendid will lure the black masses. Perhaps the future leader will hark back to some sort of politico-religious faith and will quicken his followers with the vision of God or some Utopia. It is hard, very hard, to be optimistic surrounded by a dominant racial group that is semi-hostile. Dr. Dubols deserves credit for making any of faith God and man making with the Negro environ- as he is in America. I am a born optimist and even if I find it hard to maintain idealism in America. The day hasn't broken for the Negro in America yet. The Republican party is lukewarm, Tammary Hall is getting lukewarm. And the, "Solid South" is as solidly arrayed against the black man's political recognition as ever. But there are signs that the world is under a gradual believing that the black man belongs to the genus Vir as well as the genus Homo. It is rarely that one and the Rogers Finds Dutch a Merry People would be stiff in comparison. Of course, in the higher class cafes, the people took their holiday in the same sober manner as in England or America. In Holland, or at least in Amsterdam, the practice is to beat rugs in the streets before 9 o'clock. I went out for an early walk and there were hundreds of women beating their rugs on sidewalks barely wide enough for two persons abreast. There is a saying that each one must eat a peck of dust before he dies: well, I must have had mine in five minutes. A singular sight in Holland is the strange costumes of some of the peasant types, the most singular of which perhaps is that worn in Marken, an island in the Zulder Zee. These costumes never change, at least they have not changed in hundreds of years. I did not go either to Marken or Volandam, but saw many of the men and women who came over to Amsterdam possibly for the holiday. Some of the women wore white caps, which I understand, are put on in five pieces. They fit well over the head, and are jointly turned up near the ears. Hanging looses over each shoulder is a long curl, always faxen, and a stiff long bang in front. Of course, some of these Dutch ladies also lose their hair, still there must be those two long curls and that bang to be in style. So "nuf sed." The bodices were of thick black material adorned with bright colored patterns in front, while a voluminous black skirt of very thick material drops to the heel of the wooden or the thicker leather shoe, as the case may be. One certainly cannot say that they haven't on enough. In the meantime all around were other women whose clothing wouldn't weigh more than a few ounces—the height of contradiction so far as the weather was concerned, for if one set was warm, the other was bound to be boiling hot, and vice versa. As to the men of these Dutch peasant types, all seem to wear a sort of sailor's cap, a black blouse, short and very baggy trousers and wooden shoes. Grandmothers, too, or persons who look like the traditional grandmother, are still in style in Holland. In our large American cities it is often impossible to tell whether a woman is sixteen or sixty—one must see her with face washed. But here one can have an idea of a woman's age at a chance. These, too, are some numbers, wear little black suits tied under the chin and long flowing black dresses, sometimes all in one piece, that must MAGAZINE PAGE And Gives His Opinion of the Outstanding Subjects Discussed A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD PERSONAL feeling, individual opinion and different circumstances always have an influence on the question of mourning. During the past few years there has been a decided change in the wearing of mourning; it is neither so heavy nor is it worn for such a long period as formerly. However, some people prefer to conform to the longest periods prescribed by custom; others adopt the shorter periods, or consult their own ideals, without fear of criticism. same individual can be pre-eminently a man of thought and a man of action. This is how they turn the trick. The man of thought allies himself to a man of action and puts over his program through him; or the man of action allies himself to a man of thought and seeks him for counsel and guidance. Dr. DuBois did not make a mistake in remaining DuBois. But, just as Moses attached in Aaron, just as John Wesley attached a Whitfield, so Dr. DuBois needed a "go-between" between himself and the musses. He could have remained a Zeus on his Olympian throne and sent out the lesser gods to the mortals in the vals below. Miss Ovington writes at length of Dr. DuBois' "Souls of Black Folk," which challenged Dr. Washington's minimizing the higher training of the Negro, disfranchisement and caste distinction. She says: "Dr. DuBois was fortunate that he was at this time working under a college president who stood uncompromising for the Negro's full rights. His quiet criticism brought the wrath of the white world upon him and upon the university as well. To criticise Booker T. Washington at that time was like making a pacifist speech during the progress of a war. The man's power was enormous. It is little eraggeration to say that there were not a half-dozen Negroes in the country in positions of educational or political importance who did not owe their jobs to Washington. The white man asked his advice on every conceivable subject, from appointing a Minister to Haiti to putting in bathbubs in a new colored Y, M, C, A. His famous Atlanta speech had placed him upon a strong footing with the intelligent South, and the North, sick of the Negro problem, well-nigh worshiped him. Yet, a young professor of economics had the temerity to say that, in sound, vital respects, his leadership was dangerous and unseud." Some may wonder why Miss Ovlington referred to past issues. But at a time when ultra radicals regard Dr. DuBois as something of a conservative; at a time when his critics intimate that he does not understand the masses of his own race. it is well to bring out, as A Key to By LEOLA The Etiquette PERSONAL feeling, individual circumstances always have a mourning.

In a way, mourning is a protection, a refuge from intrusion, a mark that one has retired for a period of time from social activities. Even though people wear merely "complimentary mourning," they should be careful to regard the restraint which it imposes. In England there are fixed rules about the wearing of mourning but in America the lack of such absolute regulations causes confusion. The best and final rule to follow is to make mourning deep and definite and then leave it off, rather than make it inconsistent. Some widows wear mourning two years; others, for a lifetime. But it is the opinion of many how that one year is sufficient. About eight months to one year is considered long enough to wear mourning for a parent, a grown son or daughter; six months for a sister or brother; three or four months for a grandparent. The period is shortened considerably for an aunt, a uncle, a young child, or other near relative. Much depends, no doubt, on the degree of intimacy or affection that had existed, but respect should be shown during a suitable time. A young girl under twenty does not wear a crape vell for parents. If a girl marries after a few months' mourning, it is allowable for her to leave it off. If the time of mourning has not expired, a girl may have a very quite wedding, with only relatives present, and may wear white until the period of mourning is over. There is a great latitude allowed men in regard to mourning or remainning in seclusion, possibly because business and other affairs necessarily demand that they ningle more in the-world. A widower, who follows conservative laws, wears a deep band on his hat or sleeve, the width varying in degrees for parents, children, brothers, sisters, etc. Miss Ovington eloquently does, that it took a dauntless spirit and intrepid courage for one to challenge American caste prejudice as Dr. DuBois did between 1903 and 1914. And, regardless of Dr. DuBois' mistakes in appraising men of his own race who differed in type from him, the Negro race ought to be grateful to him for the uncompromising stand that he made for justice and righteousness between 1903 and 1914, when it cost something for a colored man to say "Homo sum." "Dr. DuBois has seen much happen since he left college and went to Atlanta to teach. He has seen a prodigious change in public opinion. No magazine of repute would publish the malicious articles that were so common a score of years ago. Then the Negro was described as close to the beast, without genius save such as he inherited from his 'white ancestors. It was folly to educate him. Now it is the exception to see any but favorable books and articles upon the race. His music, his 'poetry, his scholarship are all noted with enthusiasm. Caste still rules, but one can see its inevitable break-up. Many have helped to bring this about. But no man in this century has done more to secure the white man's reluctant gesture of respect for the Negro's attainments than Burghardt DuBois." And so Miss Ovington takes up one noted Negro after another. Sho writes with no axe to grind. Sho has no propaganda to put over. She simply tells how colored men and women have risen from obscurity to fame and how they have faced difficulties and overcome obstacles in doing so. Then, again, "Portraits in Color" is a readable book. It is an informing and illuminating book. It is as fascinating as a novel. It is colorful and characterized by human interest and human sympathy. While there is no attempt at fine writing and no straining for effect, the book has charm and grace of style and descriptive passages of real eloquence. The book will cause white people to regard colored people not as mankins, clowns, but foots and curiosities, but as human beings, with the same longing and aspirations as the rest of mankind.

Cards or notes of condolences are acknowledged by sending one's visiting card with mourning border in envelope to match, and writing across the top "With grateful appreciation of your kind sympathy." Another form is to have a card engraved for the purpose, thus: "Mr. and Mrs. — acknowledge with grateful apreciation the kind expression of your sympathy." It is courteous to send notes to friends who have sent flowers. Visiting cards with mourning border in envelopes to match are sent in acknowledgment of invitations to church weddings, receptions, etc. Persons in mourning do not go in society, nor do they receive formal visitors. Visits are not made except among relatives and ver. intimate friends and then not during the conventional hours for visiting. When persons wish to re-enter society, they begin to leave cards with friends and acquaintances to indicate their intentions. Many persons in mourning go to concerts, readings and matinees after some months have passed. Some people are so constituted that they need diversion or they become morbid. You must judge for yourself about the period of seclusion and remember that it is not always the most formal mourning that is the most sincere. Friends who live at a distance are informed by telegrams or by notes that a death has occurred in a family, or marked copies of the local newspapers may be sent containing a notice of the death, or notice may be published in the newspapers in cities where the friends live.

Lost in the Fog and the Nigh ONE morning, while the world anxiously waited and listened for tidings from Commanders, and his brave commandments, from across the ocean came the information that they were "lost in the fog and the night." They had an auspicious takeoff; friends bade them "bon voyage"; without sight of land, water or sky, they pursued their course by means of delicate instruments; they had won the battle against fog and darkness to the extent of crossing the ocean; and they knew that they were near their goal. and Other Fruits Bells Scott.

THE insertion of such an advertisement in any paper would evoke severest criticism, worldwide condemnation and denunciation, yet women are sold; women are used as commodities or articles of commerce in every country on the globe. This is pre-eminent a commercial age. Everything is considered in relation to commercial interests, material profit, monetary value, but no phase of this rampant commercialism is more to be deplored, and is more deceived, in its use that which deals with womanhood in this way. Prostitution, which heads the list of commercialized vice, represents the most fragrant use of women in this way, but the men who visit these places and consort with these denizens of the neither moral world are not the ones most guilty for their existence. Commercialism is responsible for the continuance of this nefarious traffic in the bodies and souls of women, for if it were not profitable these places would close immediately. Men who own the property used for prostitution in those who supply drugs to play an important part; corrupt politicians who close their eyes and become willfully blind; grafting city officials, who protect rather than prosecute, all are traffickers in womanhood. And they do it for the sake of profit. In the places of amusement and diversion women are the chief attraction and the chief purpose is commercialism. The vaudilley and cabaret, where women dance in the nude; the dance hall, through which many enter prostitution; and the theatre, where women have lumoral roles which destroy beauty and deafen sensibilities, are all run for profit. And those who conduct them know that they are selling women to make this enormous profit possible! Arbiters of fashion and manufacturers and distributors of women's apparel are grievous offenders, for they know that commercialism is behind all these changes of styles. They know that this radical changing brings the temptation to do anything one can do, and that this extravagance is destructive in its results; that knee skirts, with revelation of territory beyond the knees, are suggestive of immoral practices; that thin goods, thin stockings and low shoes worn in the winter time are destructive of health; that using women's nude forms to advertise stockings and underwear makes womanhood common and robs it of its respect to other women, who know that commercial urge masters them and they sell the womanhood in this way. Since the destiny of the nation and of the whole world lies in the hands of the women, it requires no logical conclusion that this commercializing of womanhood will work the destruction of civilization "Heart Songs and Bygones" is evidently the author's first volume of poems. Beginners in verse often think that if they get the rhymes all right the meter doesn't matter, and they don't mind manhandling the rhymes occasionally. They have. Have. They have. Have. They have. Their best flights by inserting prosy words. Poetry is like a beautiful soap bubble; the slightest prick and the spell is gone. "The Common Sense of the Race Problem" holds nothing new; it is a general and rather vague presentation of the Negro's plight in America. It reads like a compilation of the statistics of The Crisis and the editor's Negro press for the past ten years. "The Negro in Chicago, 1779 to 1821" is on interesting book of magazine size, splendidly printed and illustrated and packed with Lead Thou Me On As Comforter and Faithful Guide. Glory awaited these intrepid souls; friends waited to welcome them and to heap honors upon them, honors befitting their courage, their sacrifices and their achievements. Then, a terrible thing happened. Their compass went wrong. They could not get their hearings. They were "lost in the fog and the night!" Unable to see and direct their course, their supply of fuel practically exhausted, these valentias descended. They knew while they risked their life in doing it would cordial death to remain in the air. To drop to earth or drop into the sea was the question. They came down, they knew not where, but by chance they were saved from death. So many human beings are crossing the great sea called life. They are courageous, determined, dauntless in their battle against destructive elements. Sometimes it is so dark and so dangerous that they are inclined to say, like the poet makes one of Columbus' sailors say: "Even God from this dread sea is gone." Many times such voyagers are nearing the end of their journey. On the other shore are washing for them friends and love ones but something goes wrong. Among the darkness their faith fails; they are loof in the fog and the night is loof in the fog and darkness of discouragement and despair. In such cases human strength falls; reason, their compass, is insufficient. They are forced down—down into the yawning abyss, and lost forever! But such is unnecessary, for God's word is a compass that never falls. His light shines constantly from the eternal shore and penetrates the darkness. Thus, with this unfailling compass and dimless light, there is no need that any should ever be "lost in the fog and the night." There is no need that any should ever fall to reach the far-off "City of Delight" and receive the awaiting welcome and share in the eternal riches there in store. information, it is not generally known, for instance, that the first settler in Chicago was Jean Point de Sahle, a Negro renter; that he represented the French; was popular with the Indians, and built the first house in Chicago. Much of the material of this book goes far beyond Chicago and gives information concerning Negroes throughout the country. On two pages is given a resume of eight thousand years of Negro achievement.

OXLEY ASON of the people was Paul Laurence Dunbar, who, through infinite hardships and pain, acquired an education and began to write, describing the passions and hurts of his people. His dialect pieces, particularly those depicting his own people in life, made a profound impression on his readers. on the island of Dublin was born in Dayton, Ohio, June 27, 1872.

F. THOMAS, Prop. Poet, Novelist (1872-1906) ASON of the people was Paul through infinite hardships and cation and began to write, des hurts of his people. His dialect piece picting his own people in life, made on his readers. Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio father escaped from, slavery, made in Canada and returned to America to chusets regiment in the Civil War. The young poet received his schooling at Dayton and was graduated from the high school there in 1891. After graduating, he secured a position as elevator operator for many months. He was brought up in 1892 when he delivered in verse the address of welcome at the Dayton meeting of the Western Association of Writers. In the same year he published his first book of poems entitled "Oak and Ivy." William Dean Howells, in his introduction, hailed him as "the first instance of an American Negro who has intimate distinction and "the only man of pure African blood and of American civilization to feel the Negro life aesthetically and express it lyrically." In 1837 Dunbar went to England. Upon his return to America published "Lyrics of Lowly Life." Some of his other works are: "The Uncalled"; "The Love of Landry"; "Lyrics of the Heartside"; "Lyrics of Love and Laughter"; "Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow," and numerous articles, stories and miscellaneous poems. Dunbar was the greatest Negro poet. He stands out as the foremost interpreter of Negro life and feeling. There is no doubt that he was pre-eminently the first in America to sing the songs of his people, their heartaches, regrets and failures without registering tentative racial abuses. Dunbar was a prominent male age in America for the most casual age in circumstances the most disadvantageous. To his race and personality he has given the golden fruits of his labor, a gift which Time has now pronounced imperishable. Add that he died at the height of his puerile fame, in the thirty-four year of his young life, and then question whether it be strange that his poems are imperfect, and of small extent, or that his erudite principle attained no mastery in its art. Dunbar is probably the most contemporary in Negro literature in America. He was possessed of a verbal fecundity which may almost be called a verbal incontinence. He was the most graceful UNTIL DEC. 2 A XMAS GIFT IN DIRECT ROUTE OF THE 45 Minutes From A Fast-Growing Community Where L OUR OFFER — $50 D 5 LOTS.

He charms not by ordered masses, but, his variety and suppleness. A dulcet strain of flute music permeates his writings. Was ever more grace of movement, charm of fancy, simple felicity of expression crowded into five lines of the first stanza of Ione? Let us read: Ah, yes, 'tis sweet still to remember, ber. Though 'twere less painful to forget; For while my heart glows like an ember. Mine eyes with sorrow's drops are wet. And, oh, my heart is aching yet. How it sings! Every word of it sets itself to music, and dances to its own tune. There are deeper songs whose world of poetry-songs whose tunes are beaten from them by the dropping of his mum tears, and some of them come from Dunbar. But where shall we find one in which the delightlessness of love's assurance gets more gracious utterance? Unless, in deed, it be from the incomparable poem "lone." Were it a short poem, I would append it here. The reader, if desirous of reading the poem, will find it in his complete book of poems. His energy was fnexhaustible and he never exhibited a trace of weariness. Perhaps no name I Negro literature stands for as much as that of Paul Laurence Dunbar. He had a short life, but a long personality. The poetry of Dunbar, bard of woe and happiness, is the poetry of one in whom a sympathetic or even a pathological curtosity aspires to replace creative power. But it was on his dialect, as I believe, that Dunbar became famous. No other poet has ever affected our thoughts and feelings as Dunbar. And at the height of his fame death snatched him in the enjoyment of his youth. He died in Dayton, Ohio, February 9, 1906. His death was a great loss to Negro literature.

These were the words Marcus Garvey as he stood on "ALL THAT I WANT is to complete the freedom of the Negro economically and culturally and make him a full man. These were the words of Marcus Garvey as he stood on the deck of the steamer that was about to take him away from America. There can be no quarrel with such an aim, and there is no reason to doubt Garvey's sincere desire for the betterment of his people. AS TO GARVEY'S TWO AIMS, the cultural and the economic, his progress in the cultural cannot be denied. Using the world culture in its real sense, the Negro masses made a long stride forward under Garvey's leadership. People of this country are too apt to confine their idea of culture to the history, literature and traditions of the Caucasian; but there are other cultures and other civilizations, each one peculiar to its race. Any race which is dominated by the culture of another race is not culturally developed. Garvey's idea of exalting black things, black people, black traditions and aspirations, even his fantastic conception of a black Christ, pointed the way to a true Negro culture. IN THE ECONOMIC and political aim the Garvey movement was not so impressive; in fact, it was childish. A great opportunity to free the Negro economically in America was thrown away in favor of the visionary notion of conquering Africa. The deliverance of Africa is not impossible, but it will be accomplished, if ever, by the Africans themselves, not by Negroes on this side of the ocean who have not yet won their own political or economic freedom. The attempt to establish a transatlantic ship line by people who knew absolutely nothing of the shipping business was about as sensible as trying to cook an egg without fire. The money poured into the Garvey movement could have done a tremendous conducive work in building Negro EDITORIAL PAGE business in America. Once that was achieved, there would have been more reason to talk about freeing Africa. THE NET RESULT of Garvey's work, therefore, is the strengthening of race consciousness. The Negro is often advised to lose his race consciousness; but it is noticeable that his Nordic advisers keep a tight hold on theirs. Thus there is nothing left for the Negro but the same self-exaltation that has been practiced by every other race in history. Needs Looking Into IF THE STORY told by Frederick Bryam is accurate, the methods of some of the New York police need looking into. Mr. Byam says that some evenings ago his mother and two friends were beaten by a policeman at Lexington avenue and 100th street because they waited too long on the corner for a street car. The policeman, he says, demanded to be told why they had let two cars go by and they said they had decided to take a taxicab. The policeman testified that when he ordered the party to go home they pushed and jostled him. WHEN HE ORDERED THEM TO GO HOME! Why should a policeman step up to a group of peaceful citizens at 10 o'clock in the evening, order them to go home by a certain car and assault them because they preferred a taxicab? The Governor of New York himself is not empowered to do that. And why should these citizens be taken to a station house and fined for disorderly conduct? They rightly decided to file charges against the patrolman with the Police Commissioner. A citizen cannot always feel safe from thugs, but he has a right to feel safe from policemen. A Sidelight A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD white girl in Newark, determined to attract attention to herself, tied herself up in her home, put a carrot in her mouth and when found said that a six-foot colored man had knocked her down and ransacked the house. There was great to-do about it till a police captain exposed the absurdity of her story. Then the girl confessed and said she had accused a colored man because she had read every word in the papers about the Lilliendahl case. WHAT AN ILLUMINATING sidelight on the ethics of American journalism! Even though Mrs. Lilliendahl herself is on trial for the murder, the screeching headlines accusing colored men are still fresh in the mind of a child. And not one of the daily newspapers has had the decency to apologize for the slander of a race. Wake Up, America! A TEAM from Lincoln University will hold a debate with a team from three English universities—London, Reading and Edinburgh. The debate will be held at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, Dec. 14. Last year the Lincoln University team defeated a team from Oxford University. ALL THIS is enough to make the people of this country rub their eyes. A fourth-rate white American university would turn down a challenge from a Negro university, yet teams from representative English universities, including Oxford itself, come three thousand miles to hold a de- Chinese in Negro Schools By KELLY MILLER the races in schools and on cars, providing only that "equal, but separate" accommodations be provided. On the question of separate schools, it must be said in fairness to white sentiment that such separation was provided in the laws of the several States with the advice and consent of Negro legislators, who were numerous and influential at the time of such enactments. There was certainly JOHN H. HARRIS no widespread protest on the part of these men to scholastic separation in reconstruction days. The system has such an established sanction in the minds of both races in the South that protest is universally admitted to be futile. The reverse is true of Jim Crow cars and disfranchisement. The system was with all of his power, which was not great from the Inception. But the novel feature of this decision is the grouping of the Mongolian with the Negro in proscriptive policy. In the Federal census the term "colored" is made to cover the Negro, Chinese, Japanese, Indian groups. But, since the Negro constitutes the bulk of the non-white group, he has practically monopolized, the meaning of the term, Politically and civilly, when the white, the colored group is small, it is usually classified with the whites. In Texas the Mexican, often of darter hue than many Negroes, has the civil status of the white man. In Oklahoma, the Indian is classified as a Caucasian. It is interesting to note that, in both Texas and Oklahoma, separate cars and waiting rooms are marked "For Whites" and "For Negroes," whereas in other States the designation is "White" and Colored." The obvious reason is to separate the Indian and the Mexican from the Negro. In the Western States, where the Japanese and Chinese abound, anti-miscegenation laws include them along with the Negro. In California, separate schools are provided for Mongolians, but not for Negroes. The immigration law of 1870 forbids Mongolians from becoming citizens by nationalization, while limiting this privilege to Caucasians and Negroes. The Negro was accorded the status of the preferred race merely because at the time he was in high public favor. It does not reflect current Anglo-Saxon opinion. The American people are bound sooner or later either to wipe out all distinctions on account of race or to group all of the non-white races under the same formula of treatment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Misuse of Police Power in News. interested in an ont issue under the 220 West 128th New York City November 30, To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. My dear Sir: This morning I was warmly interested in an item which appears in your current issue, under the THE Supreme Court has recently rendered a far-sweeping decision. This tribunal of late has acquired the habit of unanimity. Ex-President Taft, who par excellently embodies the American temper, was the mouthpiece. This decision is based upon a race prejudice which is all but universal in the Caucasian, especially in the Anglo-Saxon psychology, and is part of the woof and warp of the American mind. We non-whitees may froth and sweat and swear, but the Anglo-Saxon arrogance remains in its unappeased and unabated stubbornness. For all of the non-white people of America the understanding of the Anglo-Saxon's prejudice, with the determination not to be intimidated by it, is the beginning of wisdom. How far can this prejudice be assuaged, mollified, moderated or removed? Is this the primary question to which we must address ourselves? We must overcome whatever we can, but steel ourselves to endure the residue. Mississippi has had pre-eminence in racial legislative prescription. It was the "Mississippi plan" that led the way for the undoing of the Civil War Amendments to the Constitution and set the pattern for the other Southern States to follow. A Chinese youth, a citizen of Mississippi and of the United States, made application for admission to the public schools and was assigned to the colored compartment. The Negro schools are notoriously inferior. For this, if for no other reason, the Chinaman, through his representatives, contested his rights to be assigned to the schools set apart for the whites. In course of litigation the case reached the Supreme Court of the United States. This August tribunal laid down first the broad proposition that the State has the undoubted right to separate the race, white and colored, for scholastic purposes. This clear and unmistakable decision has teaching significance in face of the flung fight against separate schools now being waged across the continent, from Atlantic City to Los Angeles. A taste of the Dred Scott decision is still in the mouths of the people. This famous dictum set up a basis of distinction between members of the white and of the Ngero races. It was hoped and thought that the three Civil War Amendments had wiped out forever this invidious distinction. "Without regard to race or color" became the phrase which embodied the national purpose which we hoped would last for all time. But the Taney doctrine shortly began to reassert itself in sundry forms The Civil Rights Bill, calculated to wipe out all civil distinctions, was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. This gave the States leeway to enact restrictive laws. The function of "equal, but separate" provisions was invented and applied to public schools, Jim-Crow cars and other modes of public accommodation. The question soon arose as to how far the Federal Government should recognize such distinctions based on race and color. The Supreme Court, in this decision, restates for the sake of immediate application the judgment that the States have the right to separate ```markdown ``` caption "Cop to Be Charged With Brutality." The story relates that two women and three men were attacked by an officer of the law while awaiting a street car on the corner of Lexington avenue and 100th street. One lady of this group is the rother of a gentleman who is thirty-one years of age, which might place the age of the lady in the neighborhood of fifty or over. The time of this occurrence, according to the report in your journal, was 16 p.m. The nightstick was employed by this officer of the law on the ladies as well as on the gentlemen. Then followed assistance from another officer of the law, arrest and the lockup. And, as though all this did not suffice as punishment meted out by an agency of a civilized state to persons for the act of peaceably awaiting the arrival of a street car, when the son of the mother presented himself at the station to inquire into the matter of his mother's arrest he, too, was placed under arrest. Sir, I submit that this matter is not one to be passed lightly over and forgotten. A law abiding gentleman on our streets being attacked by policemen without provocation is enough in itself to incite the wrath of men, but when it comes to the mothers of our men being accorded such disgraceful treatment by the officers of the law, the time has arrived when a concerted effort must be made by all of us in a proper legal manner to curb the misuse of the nightstick and abuse of police power as is evidenced in this case. I have no knowledge of the financial condition of these parties who are planning to appeal this case, whether or not they can afford to pay for the legal services with which to make an effective complaint. But I do feel that herein a principle is involved which should prompt the men of this community to throw in their dollars and create a fund to back these persons with a competent lawyer or two. I should be delighted to contribute to this fund if your paper broadcasts the appeal and lends its influence to the creation of it. Very sincerely yours. (Signed) W. R. TATEM. 220 West 128th street, New York City. November 30, 1927. DEAN KELLY MILLER LETTERS tably be classified by color as white and non-white and placed in the group. The State of Mississippi was faced with a practical problem. The Chinese student must be assigned to the white or Negro school, or a third type of separate school be set up. The strong dominant white sentiment repudiated the idea of co-education of white and Chinese. To set up a separate provision would be ridiculously absurd. The Negro has little or no aversion to such co-education and, even if he had, it would count but little in the eyes of the lawmakers. Furthermore, it would be dangerous procedure to set up separate school systems for the under non-white races and colors. Under such policies the Japanese, the Indians, Mexicans, and Negroes would each have his separate system. This would still further lay the basis for a subdivision of Negro schools on the basis of lighter and darker color As a matter of fact, the recent drastic race purity law of Virginia has developed the embarrassing situation of providing a separate school for these near-whitees who once thought they were white, but were later defined to be otherwise. Thus the State of Virginia has laid the basis of school system splits in three ways. Let the other States and the nation take heed. The Negro can only laugh at the futility of Anglo-Saxon prejudice. Judge Taft has rendered a decision which may in the future become more aggravating than its Dred Scott prototype. The Negro in 1837 had no nation book of him to espouse his cause and fight his racial battle. The aroused conscience of the American people fought for him. But the lone Chinaman in Mississippi is a representative of the most numerous branch of the human race. Not only so, but the Japanese, the Hindu and the other non-white breeds of men are seriously taking note. This decision was intended for them as much as for the Chinaman. Japan has awakened; China is awakening; India is quickly gaining self-assertive consciousness; Africa is rubbing her eyes. Is the Anglo-Saxon doing the best thing for the future welfare of mankind by arraying the darker against the lighter breed of men in the time now rapidly approaching? The cost of race prejudice is high, the Anglo-Saxon is prejudiced or is quite prohibitive. The anomaly of it all is that ex-President Taft, the embodiment of the sentiment of peace and good-will among all varieties of men, should become the mouthpiece of a policy fraught with such portentious consequences. The Listening Ear WE should cultivate the listening habit, as well as the art of conversation. Very often it is the wish of a friend to pour his tale of woe or happiness into a sympathetic ear. Attention is all that is necessary, and as a result a friend is won or rescued. To appear distract, ill at ease, restless or bored when a friend rushes to you with good or bad tidings, repels him, chills him, and loses for you his high regard. We all have moments of expansion or depression; we all seek—or would seek—if we knew but where—the listening ear.

Rogers' Article Rogers' Article (Continued from Page 14.) have been the mode back in the days when Hudson sailed. I met several Negroes on the streets. Those with whom I could converse told me that they liked the country very much, and were satisfied to remain. They said that they had no difficulty in getting employment. All spoke Dutch, and were from the Dutch West Indies. Holland, as I said in an earlier article, seems to be in a prosperous condition; that is, for a European country. There are workers in Holland I must not forget to mention as they are in a class by themselves: the dogs. One can see them hitched to small carts with what must be heavy loads. They also draw the milk wagons. A Dutch man feels that a dog ought to earn his keep, and there is a Dutch say- ing "to work like a dog." Milk is also carried around by people with wooden yoke around the nock, after the manner of the Chinese. The Belgian dog seems to work even harder than the Dutch one. Even when his master draws the cart, he is harnessed underneath and must do his part. More than once in Brussels and elsewhere I have seen a dog harnessed beside a woman drawing what seemed to be a stiff load. I wager that the Dutch and the Belgian dog do not keep folks awake with their barking at night. Dogs were even used in Belgium during the war to pull small pieces of artillery. In a where conditions are hard the peasant cannot afford to feed use less, even that of a dog. I understand that there are societies to see that these animals are not overworked, and not hurt by their harness. As to sport in Holland, I saw little of it, but I am pretty sure there is no baseball. I understand that in winter the great sport is skating. The bicycle then goes in the shed, out comes the skates, and instead of walking in the streets many now skim over the canals. Some even skate from one city to another. The first day of hard skating is one of the events of the year. I understand almost nothing of the Dutch language, still it was interesting listening to the words which seemed as if they were stumbling over one another in an effort to get out. I couldn't help recalling how it was said Dutch originated. It is said that just about the time that God decided to confuse the language lest the Tower of Babel reach up to his kingdom—the airship hadn't been invented then—a workman looked up to speak to another. Just then a large gob of mortar, falling from above, dropped into his mouth, and in his sputtering he spoke the first Dutch. My next article will be about the German people and will be written from Berlin. MUSIC Lillian Evanti, soprano, whose debut here has long been awaited by New York music lovers, was heard in a song recital at the Bijou Theatre last Sunday evening. Her well arranged program, which gave her an opportunity to display a thin but sweet voice, consisted of numbers by Handel, Mozart, S. Coleridge-Taylor, Rosamond Johnson, Verdi, H. T. Burleigh, and others. In a group of spirituals Mime. Evanti was rather disappointing, nevertheless her entire program was well received by an appreciative audience. What Mime. Evanti lacks in a voice, she more than makes up for in a wonderful personality, which helps her to overcome her many handicaps considerably. Mime. Evanti was assisted by George Purcell, flutist, and Una Venie, pianist. Johnson and Johnson In Sunday Recital Leon Johnson, tenor, assisted by David Johnson, Jr., violinist, rendered a pleasing rectal Sunday afternoon at imperial Auditorium, 160 West 129th street. His program opened with Handel's aria, "Where're You Walk" (Semele), and Sebelher's "Serenade." Lillian Evanti Heard in Recital ys are gathered together, all Among them are well-known the O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," mer of Dreams," Paul Green's two rubbing elbows with these two writers, Willis Richardson, and others.

Who can compete with the driving power of this first of American dramatists? Nor is it easy to bear comparison with such delicate, half humorous, more than half pathetic plays as Paul Green's "The No Count-Boy" and Ridgley Torrence's "The Rider of Dreams." To me, the writers in this volume who fare best in such company are those who have been least ambitious in their themes. "Plumes," by Georgia Douglas Johnson (the plumes are those that wave at the funeral), and Eulalia Spence's gay bit of Harlem in "The Starter," are simple, true pictures. Willis Richard's "Banjo" is in the volume, a play that acts well, and Frank Wilson's quagmire Cane. Wilson is in one winning down as the plays are laid in *Porgy*. There are twenty plays in all, the most of them gloomy—they could be modern and be anything else—the plays by Nerges a little less given to picturing a twarted race than the plays by whites. Altogether a fine group. The book leads one to reminiscence. The Washington Square Players, precursors of the Theatre Guild, saw the value of Negro material and used it once in a short play concerning the flight of a criminal and his cature. The Neighborhood Playhouse besides producing, as Mr. Gregory notices, Angelina Grimke's "Rachel," gave The Noose, "The Racy, Mygast. This play, straight from propaganda regarding a southern lynching with the church organ playing hymns while the murder went on. The Fortnightly Player gave Rosalea Jonas "The Victim," a powerful picture of the quadron with her white and colored lovers: One attempt was made in New York after another until success came at last at the Pravincetown with Glipin in "The Emperor Jones." Since then Negro themes have been in demand—note Belasco's vulgar but entertaining play of "Lulu Belle"—until today New York's greatest theatre is crowded night after night while a Negro company interprets Du Bose Heyer's pony story of Orgy and his neighbors in Cat.
