MINISTER LIVING GO BISH Both Said by Children's So in Statutory Charges M —Mother Says Sh An investigation is being and Sweeney of the Children's Bishop John A. Hickerson of East 133d street. The investi connected with the Church of Bishop Hickerson are being sou became known. Bishop Hickerson has had a stormy career in the last two years because of his alleged actions towards Lemuel Green, 10 years old, of 269 Second avenue. It is in connection with the Green boy that Bishop Hickerson is again being sought by the authorities. The minister being sought is involved in alleged statutory charges made by the boy's two sisters, one of whom is 14 years old and the other 15 years old. Lemuel as well as his sisters are at present in the custody of the Children's Society. The investigation resulted from the arrest of the boy's mother, Mrs. Cora Green, 41 years old, who is charged with impairing the morals of her son, and who is awaiting trial in the Court of Special Sessions. She was held last Saturday in $200 bail by Magistrate Douras in Harlem Court. Bishop Hickerson was first arrested, according to Agents McCarthy and Sweney, in 1925, when he was arraigned before Magistrate Renaud in Harlem Court on a statutory charge, and following his discharge he and members of his congregation, among them the boy's mother, staged a demonstration in the courtroom with the result that the Bishop was sentenced to the Workhouse for 10 days, while Mrs. Green, together with the minister now being sought, Bishop Hickerson's daughter and several other women were fined $10 each. Bishop Hickerson, according to the authorities, then moved to Newark, where he was again arrested on a serious charge involving the Lemuel Green boy. On this charge he was convicted and was sentenced to serve 11 months in the Essex County penitentiary. After serving his sentence Bishop Hickerson, the authorities say, returned to live at the Church of Living God. In the meantime the children of Mrs. Green were placed in the custody of the Children's Society. A hearing was held in the Children's Court and Mrs. Green was declared an improper guardian for her children by Chief Justice Hoyt. The children were awarded to the father, and Mrs. Green was forbidden to take them to places frequented by either Bishop Hickerson or the minister now being sought. Mrs. India Wharton, 75 West 132d street, a social worker, was assigned to see that the Green children were properly taken care of. She recently visited the Green home and found, she told Magistrate Douras, that Mrs. Green was in the habit of bringing This Week's News Index Page Editorials 20 Special Articles 11 General, Local and National News 1, to 6, 10 News of Society and Women's Activities 6, 7 News of Churches and Fraternal ties: Deaths 15 Amusements 8, 9 Sports 13 News of Brooklyn and Long Island 11 News of New Jersey 12 Nobody Beliefs 12, 13 Music 13 ADVERTISING INDEX.

The matter was Cen reported to Children's Society and after an investigation by Agents McCarthy and Sweeney, Mrs. Green was arrested and her three children taken from her and placed in the custody of the Children's Society on charges of improper guardianship. Mrs. Green is said to have told the agents and Mrs. Wharton that Bishop Hickerson had compelled her to bring her children to the church and that she was under his "spell." "Diploma Mill" Heads Arrested Washington School Teacher Caught in Trap Is WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 19. Board of Education at its meeting at Franklin School last Wednesday suspended Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the Negro high schools, pending the outcome of the charge against him of having conspired to use the mails to defraud. Mr. Henderson was indicted on December 2, with Gilbert Fatton Brown and Ethel G. Wood, both white. The indictment charges a conspiracy to use the mails to defraud. In carrying out their scheme, it is alleged, the defendants posted in the mails, letters, circulars and pamphlets offering to charter schools, institutions, colleges and universities to teach law, theology, commerce, business, elocution, drama, therapeutics and other subjects. They represented to persons they sought to defraud, it is charged, that sanitariums, hospitals and institutions of learning chartered by them lead the power to conduct educational branch institutions anywhere in the world and could confer any and all degrees. The three persons under indictment were members of the Central Chiropractic College, at 1914 Seventh street northwest.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Charles Johnson, 120 West 112th street, who is said to have promised to marry Miss Clemintia Swainson, 35, 69 Lenox avenue, was summoned before Magistrate McAndrews in Heights Court Thursday on a charge that he had failed to keep his promise. Magistrate McAndrews dismissed the case and advised Miss Swainson to bring action for breach of promise in the Supreme Court. Wedding invitations and cards had been printed and sent out, Miss Swainson said, and she received many presents which she was obliged to return, all because Johnson failed to keep his permanent date with her at St. Philip's Episcopal Church. Two weeks prior to the nuptials, Johnson is said to have told her that he would be unable to keep his promise because he was obliged to send money to relatives in England. Not Dismissed; Nurse Resigned Unjustly Charged With Giving Information to the Press Mrs. Louise Potts, 612, St. Nicholas avenue, a graduate nurse of Freedman's Hospital, who left Harlem Hospital in August following a dispute with Nurse H. Cassidy, white, a supervisor, who had insulted her, takes exception to a statement published in the December 7 issue of The Amsterdam News, in which it was said that she was summarily dismissed. Nurse Potts did, in fact, resign, after the dismissal order was revoked. The dispute was the outcome of what is said to be a current happening at Harlem Hospital in which Negro nurses are charged with subordination and summarily dismissed if they dare defend themselves against the insults of their white superiors. Shortly after Nurse Potts had her "run in" with Nurse Cassidy, Nurse Ager Boozer was insulted by a white switchboard boy at the hospital and "ripped his sassy face," as Emmy would say. She was summarily dismissed, but was later permitted to resign in good standing. The Amsterdam News. In its daily issue of Monday, August 22, published the story concerning the two nurses. Officials at Harlem Hospital charged Nurse Potts with giving to the press information that was detrigatory to the hospital, it is said, and she was summarily dismissed without a hearing. It is a fact, however, that Nurse Potts gave no information to the press. Repeated attempts were made to arrange an interview with her and, when she was finally seen by a reporter of The Amsterdam News, he was politely dismissed with the statement: "I have nothing to say." Superintendent Rudolf Rapp and Sade S. O Brien, white, superintendent of nurses, had asked Nurse Potts to apologize to Nurse Cassidy. It is said, but she refused on the ground that Nurse Cassidy was the offender and should make the apology. Mrs. Potts had already communicated with the Board of Trustees, Miss Rothman, and Dr. Mark Fieming, superintendent of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, before whom she demanded a hearing. Following her dismissal without a hearing, Nurse Potts enlisted the aid of Robert R. Bagnall of the N. A. A. C. P. and Pt. Charles A. Butler of the Citizens' Welfare Council, who together with other social organizations, conducted an investigation, with the result that the order of dismissal was revoked by the hospital authorities and Nurse Potts was permitted to resign "in good standing and without prejudice." Fitzgerald Phillips, 2370 Seventh avenue, is attorney for Mrs. Potts. Stabbed With Fork Manie Russell, 20, 12 West 133d street, was arrested late Monday, charged with stabbing Lena Brown, a neighbor, with a fork on the left side of the face, left arm and back Friday. Detective Durrus of the West 135th street station made the arrest. ENROLL NOW! For a Business Course at Braithwaite Business School 2876 SEVENTH AV.

The following is the official word: MEMORANDUM IN RE MARCUS GARVEY There appears to be considerable misapprehension and lack of information regarding the commutation of sentence granted by the President to Garvey. The commutation was in no way conditioned upon the deportation of Garvey, but was a straight, out-and-out commutation, the subject of deportation not even being mentioned. Further than this, Garvey in his application for executive clemency recited the fact that he was to be deported and expressly stated that he was willing to leave the country voluntarily and immediately, but requested to be allow two weeks or thirty days in the custody of his attorney in order to gather together his belongings and remove his family. The fact that he was to be deported was contemplated by him, and the petition in question is not only signed by him but authenticated in two other places by his initials, once after his request for commutation. It is very wrong, therefore, to charge the President or the Department of Justice with the deportation of Garvey. That was done by operation of law and by another department in the discharge of its duty in the enforcement of the law. Garvey knew that he was to be deported and asked for an extension of executive clemency predicated upon that fact, accompanied by an expression of his willingness to voluntarily leave the country.

Friday night about 9:30. The rescues were witnessed by hundreds of people, who had been attracted to the scene, which was roped off by police reserves from the West 152d street station. The fire was of unknown origin and started in the wooden stairway between the second and third floors, spreading upward. Son Saves Aged Mother John Clark, 41, rescued his 75-year-old mother, Mrs. Mary Clark, from her apartment on the fourth floor, where he discovered her almost unconscious from smoke. Mrs. Clark, a paralytic, was slick in bed at the time. As Clark reached the third floor with his precious burden he met Earl Sweeting, another tenant, who helped Clark and his mother to the street. Firemen under Deputy Battalion Chief Weber were the first to reach the scene. They turned in a second alarm. The flames had trapped other tenants in the building and their screams could be heard from the street.

The Firemen of Hook and Ladder 28 scaled a ladder, formed a chain, and handed down the five in five minutes, the baby first. The rescuers were Firemen Frank Welchman, Alec Worell and Leander Turhune. The ice winds and the water formed heavy icicles on the ladders, making the rescues the more difficult. Shortly after Clark saved his mother, Howard Anthony rushed into the burning building and saved the life of little Lucille Williams, a dancer, just as the flames were about to envelop her. Another contingent of men arrived under Deputy Battalion Chief Doughhurst, in response to the second alarm. All the windows facing Bradhurst avenue were ordered closed, thus confining the fire to the eastern portion of the building.

The editors had been fined $250. Fard and Fleming were hanged at Madisonville, Ky., recently, after having lost an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. They died maintaining their innocence of the charge of assaulting a white girl. Another man, who turned State's evidence, insisted they were guilty. During their trial the Louisville News and the Leader referred to the case as "legal lynching coming." The prosecutor of Bard and Fleming announced that the editors would be indicted under a statute which provided a maximum penalty of twenty-one years' imprisonment. However, he found that this statute has been repealed, so the case was made one of libel. in Room Fines Entered an second-class matter Dec 31, 1899, to the Post Office at New York, under the act of March 3, 1879.

In Possession of Forged Check Detectives Nab Suspect in Station "L" Post Office Arrested Saturday night when he attempted to cash a forged U. S. Treasury check in Station "L" of the Post Office, Arthur Brown, 19, no home, was found in possession of a number of forged checks, as well as letters, all of which he is alleged to have stolen from apartment house letter boxes. The Federal authorities have been notified of the arrest of Brown and he will be charged with a Federal offense after the charge of forgery pending against him is disposed of. The complaint on which he was arraigned Monday before Magistrate Brodsky charged that he forged the name of Mortimer Henriquez. 2 East 127th street, who is a post office employee, to a U. S. Treasury check for $74.48, which he attempted to cash. Detectives 'cavone' and O'Connor of the East 126th street station were in the post office, which is at 126th street and Lexington avenue, when Brown entered and presented the check to one of the clerks. The clerk noted that the check belonged to Henriquez, who is employed in the same station, and he summoned the detectives, who arrested Brown. Investigation then disclosed that the check had been mailed to Henriquez and that it had been stolen from the mail box. Searched in the police station, the detectives allege they found a number of stolen letters and checks. Among the letters and checks was one for $5.66 belonging to A. L. Vanoy, 320 St Nicholas avenue; a bonus check for $10 sent by Edward Madow, a jeweler at 2274 Third avenue, to Mrs. E. Hannon; a check for $10 belonging to Lille Henderson 400 Manhattan avenue, and a check for $16.55 mailed to a lawyer by the name of John M. Britt. The names of the owners of the checks had been forged, the police say.

Harrison—author, lecturer, journalist and scholar—the Negro race has lost one of its ablest, most brilliant and best-known intellectual figures. Following an operation for appendicitis, Dr. Harrison died in Bellevue Hospital at 7 o'clock Saturday night. He was 44 years old and lived at 646 Lenox avenue. Dr. Harrison was, until recently, a staff lecturer for the Board of Education here and special lecturer on "Contemporary Civilization" at New York University.

Education Rare In Prison Camps CHAPEL HILL, N. C., Dec. 19.—Of 1,036 colored convicts in thirty-three North Carolina prison camps recently investigated by the research department of the State University it was found that not one had received the equivalent of a high-school education and only three were rated as of high-school grade, according to a report entitled "The North Carolina Chain Gang," just issued by the University Press. Thirty-four per cent of the convicts were found totally illiterate and eighty-three per cent unable to read newspapers. Of the illiterates 268 were boys of public school age. between fourteen and twenty, indicating, as the report points out, prior failure to enforce the compulsory education law. The report draws no conclusions from these figures, but students of the race problem point out that they seem to indicate a close connection between ignorance and crime and to furnish at least presumptive evidence of the value of Negro education in promoting good citizenship. Among 800 white convicts studied in the same survey seven were found to have the equivalent of high-school graduation, twelve were rated as of high-school grade, and five as of college grade, though none was a college graduate. The study was made by Professors Jesse F. Steiner and Roy M. Brown of the department of social science and covers all the more important phases of the chain rang system. Mystery in Shooting; Blood Stains Found Upon receiving a mystorious phone call Detectives Winterhalter and Boyden of the West 135th street station visited Apartment 2-E at 125 West 144th street, where they said they observed bullet holes in the walls and found a revolver from which five shots had been fired on the fire escape. Blood stains were seen on the floor. Mrs. Nellie Thomas and a gentleman, occupants of the apartment, were questioned, but denied all knowledge of any shooting. Returning to the police station the detectives met Mrs. Thomas' husband, Jack, who told him his wife had shot at him. All three went back to the apartment, where husband and wife accused each other of the shooting. Both were placed under arrest on a charge of violating the Sullivan law. The blood stains have not yet been explained, as neither the husband or wife were injured. 20 PAGES—5 CENTS PER COPY DIES SCHOLAR AMBS AFTER R' OPERATION 100 From St. Croix, Virgin Islands, n — Unusual Ability Forced ognition Here Hubert H.

Sally Broy Convicted on Charge Of Practicing Medicine Without License Mme. Sally Broy Convicted on Charge Of Practicing Medicine Without License One Witness Swears She Cured Her of Total Blindness — Went Free in Chicago on Same Charge In a sworn affidavit, dated Thursday, Eunice Medley, 25, 520 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, deposes and says that he was cured of total blindness Wednesday night, Dec. 7, by Mme. Sally Broy, "spiritual healer and life reader," 390-A Monroe street, Brooklyn, who is now waiting to be sentenced Friday on a charge of practicing medicine without a license. Madame Broy, who claims the spiritual power to heal all human ills, even a a distance, had been arrested for fortune telling and practicing medicine without a license. She was freed on the first charge in a Magistrate's Court and found guilty of the latter charge in Special Sessions on Dec. 6. Attorney George O. Adams came from Chicago to defend Madame Broy, with Attorney George E. Hall, 200 West 135th street. TW Medley, who now adds his sworn testimony to many others who declare that Madame Broy has cured them of paralysis, tuberculosis and other serious maladies, said that he has suffered with his eyes ever since he was struck in them when he was a sixyear-old boy. On the morning of the day Madame Broy was convicted. Medley said, his sight began to leave him on the street. He hailed a cab and drove to the office of Dr. Frederick L. Davis, Albany and President streets, Brooklyn, who took him one Dr. Schelmerhorm, a specialist, and President street, who told him that he had become permanently blind and that he could do nothing for him and sent him home, the addyalt's Medley was accompanied by his wife, Bertha Medley; his cousin, Miss Ada Owens, and Henry Page, a friend, all of whom live at Medley's home. Miss Owens told him that Madame Broy had treated her and urged him to consult the healer. Medley said he was frankly skeptical, but yielded to their advice. Upon arriving at Madame Broys, about 8 p.m., they were told the healer was at dinner. Without asking questions and without ever having seen him, Medley swears, Madame Broy came directly to him and placed her hands on his eyes and said a prayer. She clapped her hands and prayed again, Medley said, and his eyes became clear—his sight had returned! "I was so shocked by the miracle that I remained there a half an hour thanking Madame Broy," Medley said. Madame Broy, as usual, made no charge for her services, it is reported. Madame Broy was arrested in Chicago a year ago last November and arraigned in Municipal Court before Judge Daniel Trude on a charge of practicing medicine without a license and was found not guilty and dismissed the last of March, 1927. Physicians who were called to reute Madame Broy's claims to spiritual healing did not appear, it is said. Mr. Adams was her attorney. At her recent trial in Brooklyn fifteen witnesses were called and testified to her remarkable power to heal.

Mrs. Margaret Bell, 69 West 139th street, lost $500 in the ancient "pocketbook game" some time ago, and visited Adelu Sullyman, 2139 Seventh avenue, who is said to have charged her $160 to recover it by "spiritual" methods, with the result that Sullyman was arrested on a charge of grand larceny early last week and arraigned before Magistrate McAndrews, who held him in $1,000 ball for a further hearing. Mrs. Bell now states her loss to be $660. ```markdown ``` A Splendid Line of Evening and BELL & D (EVERYTHING IN 202 WEST 135th ST BUY YOUR HOLIDAY The Only Race Store of H QUALITY SERVICE Standard Merchandise Ask the Man Wh Private Detectives In Several Raids Private Detectives In Several Raids Boulin's Evidence Secures Divorces in Two Recent Cases Mrs. Beatrice McCommon. 352 West Forty-eighth street, led by operatives from Boulin's National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street, raided a flat at 3325 Fifth-second street, Corona, L. L, Monday, night, where it is alleged they found her husband, William McKinty McCommon, in a room with Mrs. Lucille伯bert. Mrs. McCommon has employed Atty. John W. Coyle to prosecute her case, naming the Herbert woman as co-respondent. It is stated that McCommon and Mrs. Herbert were living quietly at the Corona address as man and wife, and both of them were somewhat supprised when the legal wife appeared on the scene. Mrs. Herbert has two children who are living with her. She also stated that her husband's name was Joseph Herbert, from whom she is separated. She said he is living in New York. The McCommons were married in December, 1923. There are no children. Laundry Proprietress Starts Divorce Suit Mrs. Bertha L. Morris, 189 Jefferson avenue, Brooklyn, through her attorney, John William Smith of 26 Courtland street, has started suit against her husband, Marion Morris, in the Supreme Court, for absolute divorce, naming one Mrs. Agnes Lookely, of 55 Lott street, as correspondent. Mrs. Morris conducts a laundry at the Jefferson avenue address. It was stated that the Boulin's Agency had been keeping her husband under surveillance. It is alleged that on Friday night, December 9, 1927, Mrs. Morris, accompanied by detectives, raided the premises at No. 12 Erasmus street, where it is claimed they found Morris and Mrs. Lockely together in a room. Mrs. Lockely is the wife of a taxi owner. The couple were married over four years ago. There are no children. Garage Owner Granted Divorce Clement Agard, 149 West 140th street, was granted a decree of divorce against his wife, Isa Blanche, on December 15. The case was tried before Justice Wasservogel, in the Supreme Court. Mr. Agard was represented by Attorney Richard E. Cary. The investigation was conducted and the evidence secured by Boulin's Agency. The result of the divorce proceeding, Mr. Agard had filed a $5,000 allotment lawsuit against Oswald Pilgrim, but this suit was settled out of court a few days ago. The couple wore married in New York City about six years ago. There are no children. Furrier Granted Divorce A few days ago, before Justice Newberger, in the Supreme Court, Maurice Bernier, an expert furrier of 68 West 138th street, was granted a decree of divorce against him for revenue. He named one Edward Bly of 211 South Franklin street, Mt. Vernon, as corespondent. Two Appear in Court With Bandaged Heads Leroy McCabe, 26 289 West, 142d street and his brother-in-law, Isaac Palmer, 25, 22 West 146th street, both appeared with bandaged heads before Magistrate McAndrews in Hightails Court Thursday morning. Palmer was in the custody of Detective Scott of the West 135th street station, who had arrested him on McCabe's charge that he cut him with a knife. McCabe admitted raising a large bump on Palmer's head by burling a chair. Palmer was held in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of felonious assault. McCabe's wife, who is Palmer's sister, appeared as a witness in support of her husband's story that Palmer first attacked him with a knife and hatchet, following an argument that is said to have arisen because McCabe was putting a new lock on the door "to keep out Palmer and his girl."

Carter was arrested by Patrolman Robertson of the West 135th street station, who said he recognized Carter as a man wanted by the police when he saw the dapper young fellow getting a shoe shine at Seventh avenue and 146th street. When taken to the West 135th street station, Detective Joe Brown said he also identified Carter as the man wanted, although Carter denied any complicity in crime. He is said to have later admitted his guilt. The police are conducting a search for Carter's accomplices, and believe this his arrest has solved at least a dozen store hold-ups that have occurred within the past six months. The store owners who identified Carter were Bagabas Meldosian, white, a grocer, 201 West 148th street, who lost $55; Mrs. Guslei Singer, white, owner of a candy and stationery store at 2577 Seventh avenue, near 154th street, who lost $55 the day before, and Nathan Lang, white, laundryman, 42 West Sunday, Jan. 8, at 3, Mot Congre George Hold Of Mass Champlon of a Bill to Redu in Congress Because of Dis Will Add ANNUAL MA Of the National A Advancement of 1, Jan. 8, at 3, Mother A.

Captured After Running Gun Fight Captured After Running Gun Fight "Black John" in Prison Ward of Harlem Hospital Charged With Burglary John James, known as "Black John" and described by the police as "an old-time bad man," was captured on the fire escape of 219 West 142d street Friday morning by Detective Sergeant Battle, Detectives Moore and Sullivan and Patrolman Kattenhorn, all of the West 135th street station. The capture came after a running gun battle rivalling any movie thriller ever seen, in which the giant fellow was shot in both legs. "Black John" who is 32 and gave his address as 2 West 129th street, near Fifth avenue, is in the prison ward at Harlem Hospital, charged with burglary, resisting arrest and violation of the Sullivan Law.

APPLAUSE GIVES LINCOLN "U" VICTORY No Decision Was Rendered, However, In International Interracial Debate Negro Team Scores Anglo-Saxon Race for Its Unethical and Prejudicial Attitude Toward Darker Races Under Its Control Judging by the applause, which might have been expected from an overwhelming Negro audience in Harlem, Lincoln University, of Chester, Pa., the affirmative, was triumphant over the University of London, the University of Reading and the University of Edinburgh, representing the National Students' Union of England, the negative, in debating the subject: "RESOLVED: That the attitude of the Anglo-Saxon race toward the colored races under its control is unethical and prejudicial to progress," last Wednesday night at Mother A.M.E. Zion Church, 137th street near Seventh avenue. No decision, however, was rendered. There were three speakers on each side. Charles Boothby, white professor of English at Lincoln University, is adviser to the Lincoln University, as representative as the team itself of the apparent Mr. Boothby, who came to Lincoln last year from Bates College and formed the debating team, said that they are the first Negroes to ever debate an English team. One year ago the Lincoln University team debated an Oxford University team, the prohibition question at Baltimore and acquitted itself with credit. said Dr. Nearon. "The press and the public will decide the winners." The audience was the presentative Negro gathering to be seen anywhere and their reaction to both the affirmative and the negative sides indicated a broad and almost impersonal open-mindedness. The nature of the subject before a Negro team gave Lincoln a handicap over their team, but they rejected its advantage and fined their contentions strictly to historical fact and impersonal judg Although Dr. Leo Fitz Neason, head of the Lincoln alumni here, presiding, asked the 3,000 persons present, many of them white, to refrain from applause while the speakers were debating, the audience at times lost control of itself in persuasive arguments of their firmative arguments. The English team fought bravely and most honorably to sustain the negative, but were almost continually on the defensive. Press and Public to Decide "We have appointed no judges."

NEXT TO BANK said Dr. Neason. "The press and the public will decide the winners." The audience was the most representative Negro gathering to be seen anywhere and their reaction to both the affirmative and the negative sides indicated a broad and all-important open-mindedness. The nature of the subject before a Negro audience gave the black diaspora over their English rivals, but they rejected its advantage and confined their contentious strictly to historical fact and impersonal judgment. There were many Lincoln graduates present. The English team was composed of Frank Darvall, University of Reading; Andrew Haddon, University of Edinburgh, and John Ramage. University of Michigan Dade and Richard Hill represented Lincoln University. The names are given in the order in which they spoke. Dr. William H. Johnson, president, and Dr. Walter Wright, vice-president, of Lincoln University Dr. E. P. Roberts of the Lincoln Trustee Board of the Dr. Thomas Board of the Phelps-Suske Funs mine妙事, addresses. The Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of the church, delivered the invocation. Mime, Lula Robinson Jones, soprano, accompanied by Leon S. Adger at the piano, sang three solos by Benedict and Bellini. At the close of the debate Miss Olive P. Hopkins, soprano, sang "Can It Be Love?" by Vanderpool, sang "Miss. by Artill," accompanied at the piano. The English gentlemen were delicately gracious in voice, mood, manner and were extremely witty throughout, causing the debate to border closely upon entertainment. Anglo-Saxons Bitterly Attacked The affirmative side pointed to the conditions of native races in India, South Africa, China and of American Negroes, and vigorously attacked the Anglo-Saxon's barbaric, inhuman, cruel and grossly unfair treatment and exploitation, of the colored races. They charged the Anglo-Saxon with maintaining a double standard in the treatment of the races under their control and of forcing them with their vices, sometimes under the guise of religion. "To say that the Anglo-Saxon went to India for Christian motives is the same as to say that Christopher Columbus sailed upon the Atlantic Ocean on a pleasure trip, one of the speakers said. It is in disregarding the colored races' contributions to civilization and human progress and in branding them with the oppressive policies and reducing them to slavery—that the Anglo-Saxon's attitude is unethical and prejudicial to progress, the affirmative contended. Defends Superiority and British Rule The English team very candidly discountenanced Anglo-Saxon shames perpetrated upon the colored races under their control and scored British imperialism which they said, did not represent the true British policy of fair-mindedness held by the majority of them. In like manner America should not be blamed for what the South does to the Negro, they said. They argued that South Africa should not be brought into the discussion, as it is mainly in the hands of descendants of Dutch settlers. They drew attention to British efforts to introduce sanitation, housing and education on the West Coast of Africa. The negative defended British rule in India and stated that the colored races would not have reached their present state of development without the aid of Anglo-Saxon. On the question of superiority the English team sought to justify themselves in such an attitude based upon the differences between the races. Mutual superiority, they said, is commonly understood and practiced not only between the white and colored races, but between the various classes within these races. HURLS WOMAN THROUGH WINDOW AFTER ROW Viola Johnson, 31, of 91 West Kinney street, Newark, was asleep when a man said to be known to police entered her apartment. Lifted her out of bed and hurled her through the window, she told police. Neighbors, hearing her moans, summoned police, and she was taken to City Hospital. She is in a critical condition. Her right leg was broken and she suffered a possible fracture of the spine. She was in too serious condition to be questioned last night. Police learned from neighbors that the woman had quarrelled with her assistant a few hours before.

Ransom of the M. E. Church in addressing a large Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Community Church, under the auspices of the Umbrian Glee Club. After declaring that the Negro did not believe today as Frederick Douglass did, that "the Republican Party is the ship, all else is the sea," that the Negro accepted Booker Washington's idea of industrial training for the masses, but not political encouragement; that the race "acknowledges the force and power of the scathed denunciations of political and moral injustice proclaimed by Infidel Years nor that can be conferred upon Phi Beta Kappa.

I don't care for dancing either. You see, I've always found time or such things. There's a lot of time for social life after I finish college." Miss Wilson has a fine physique, due largely to her athletic activities, which include swimming, golf and tennis. She is the daughter of Mrs. Thomasina Wilson, who is a prominent member of Sloan Presbyterian Church, and the grand-daughter of Docomon E. H.

"He proclaims for the unity and solidarity of the black people throughout the world. He pleads that we put into commission and organize the intellectual, financial, professional, financial resources of the entire race and use this power to participate in the redemption and development of the continent of Africa," continued Bishop Ransom. "As a prophet, Mr. Garvey has run true to form by meeting the ageing rewards of a prophet—he has been stoned, he has been imprisoned and now he has been banished. But truth, aspirations and ideals can neither be imprisoned nor deported."

Prominent White and Colored Elks Attend Banquet at Bamboo Inn Appreciation Expressed for Aid Given by White Local Lodge in Recent Controversy — Monarch Elk history was written when, on Thursday night, prominent members of New York Lodge No. 1, white Elks, broke bread with members of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order Elks of the World at the banquet given by Monarch Lodge No. 45, I., B., P.O. E. of W., in honor of John Duncan, Caspar Holstein and Joseph (Blondy) Brown. During the dark days of Elkldom, just preceding the last convention hero in New York, inestimable help was rendered the Negro Elks in having the infunction removed that rewarmed York State from calling themselves Elks or using any of the emblems, by William T. Phillips, secretary of New York Lodge No. 1, and by John Martin, the exalted ruler of that Lodge. So, on Thursday night, in addition to honoring its three disbanded Lodge, the Negro Lodge presented to Messrs. Phillips Martin watches valued at $250 as a mark of appreciation. The presentation to Mr. Phillips was made by the grand exalted ruler, J. Finley Wilson, and that to Mr. Martin by Attorney Pope B. Billips. In his remarks, the grand exalted ruler referred to the new day and the new era for Negro Elks in New York and gave unstinted credit to Phillips for the part that he played. In accepting the tokens, both of the white Elks said that they had been actuated only by a spirit of fair play. They said that Negro Elks were not only a credit to the fraternity, but to any community in which they resided, and both paid glowing tributes to the calibre of the men who constitute the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in Greater New York. Bamboo Service Poor Although scheduled to begin at 10:30 p. m., it was nearer midnight before the dinner got under way and not until early morning did some of the 675 persons present get service. The entire downstairs of Bamboo Inn was pressed into service for feeding those who had reservations. The occupancy used for the late comers, judging from the crowded corditions, the place was not adequate to properly care for so large an assemblage.

Jones, President, Wants Faculty of Both Races BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. "Fisk University ranks with the leading colleges of America," said Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, president. --- of Flek University, in a statement here last week, "In many respects" he said, "it gives a more thorough course than Columbia University." Dr. Jones said that the aim of Flask is to keep the student body to about 500, which gives the members of the faculty opportunity to keep in close touch with the individual problems of the students. The present faculty of Flask consists of graduates of Columbia, Bates and other leading colleges, who give the same type of information found in any northern college. "My experience as a college teacher," said Dr. Jones, "has convinced me that our work at Flask in on par with any of the leading colleges." It is his aim to add to the teaching staff, from time to time, some of the outstanding scholars of both races in the country. "Flask university," he said, "has solved the race problem, for no one thinks of color there. We allow and welcome culinary expression on all problems, and a degree member of the faculty has the freedom to press as a white member. That is to be my policy as long as I am president of the university," he said. Dr. Jones came here to attend the meeting of the board of trustees and to look after other matters of interest to Fisk. While here, Dr. Jones saw a number of the graduates and former students of Fisk and discussed with them many of his new students. A dinner conference at the Y.W. was a group of former Fisk students, and brought to their attention, many things connected with the expansion program of the university.

Edwards, president of the Norfolk, Va., branch, of a legal fight being conducted to prevent the execution of Shirley Winnegan, who was sentenced to death despite his having been previously declared insane by the Isle of Wight County Lunacy Commission. The case has created a political furore in Virginia, two officers, Commonwealth Attorney George F. Whittle and Sherif William Holmes Chapman, having been defeated for re-election on the ground that they had removed the prisoner from the county and thus prevented a threatened lynching.

The jury, conviction is held unlawful and his execution is being contested on the ground that he should not have been released from custody after being declared insane. The case has brought sharp criticism of the Virginia system of dealing with mental defectives, one white man declaring: "In so far the State has tolerated this non-professional and arbitrary setting at naught of the recommendations of its local lunacy commissions it is falling in an elementary duty both to a class of defectives that are entitled to its care, and to the people at large who are entitled to protection against them." alleges she was assaulted she attacked him and his wife.

Madam Evanti charges that Professor Tibbs abandoned her because of her ambitions for a musical career, although he advised her to seek cultivation of her voice. Professor Tibbs denies the charge. He accuses her of deserving him and sacrificing home and everything else in her pursuit of a musical career. The couple were married in Gary, Ind., September 10, 1918. They have one son, Thurlow Evans, 6 years old. Mrs. Tibbs is represented by Attorney Henry F. Woodard. Professor Tibbs is represented by Attorney George E. C. Hayes. To a Little Child LITTLE child, within those eyes Innocence unmeasured lies, Fondest wish I have for you, When you come to man's estate, Is not that you may be great, But that you'll be good and true! Little child, for you I pray, That the Heavenly Father may Keep you spotless, free from gulle; That no low, debasing sin, From without you are within, Ever may your soul defile! Little child, with smiling face, Holding you in my embrace, Fully confident you can, Tho' I may not live to see, 'Tis my prayer that you may be Nothing lesser than a MAN! Carter G. Woodson Editor, Historian (1875) THE foremost historian of the Negro in America is Carter G. Woodson, who stands out as the only man who has found pleasure in the researches of Negro history. This eminent scholar was born of ex-slave parents near New Canton, Buckingham County, Va., December 19, 1875. His father was James Henry Woodson and his mother Anne Eliza (Riddle) Woodson. As he was one of a family of nine children, his parents, who started life in poverty, could not provide him with the ordinary comforts of life and could not send him regularly to the five-months' district school after he was old enough to work on the farm. In the rural school, however, he managed largely by self-instruction to master the fundamentals of common-school subjects by the time he was 17. At this age, in 1892, he went, with his brother, Robert, to West Virginia. His parents were induced to move there the following year and they settled at Huntington. The young Woodson, however, had to accept employment in the coal fields of Fayette County, where he labored as a miner for six years, spending a few months annually in school. In 1896 he entered the Douglas High School of Huntington, the course of which he completed in less than two years and from which he received a diploma. He then entered Bera College, in Kentucky, famous at that time because of its co-education of the races. There he studied a part of two years and then began teaching, starting first at Winona, Fay- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21, 1927 the Negro in America is Carter out as the only man who has searches of Negro history. born of ex-slave parents near unty, Va., December 19, 1875.

From Winona he was called to the principalship of the Douglas High School of Huntington, from which he had been graduated four years before. He then spent his summers studying at the University of Chicago, where he finally obtained the degree of bachelor of arts. Woodson travelled and studied a year in Asia and Europe, spending one semester at Sorbonne, the University of Paris. There he not only did graduate work in history, but he learned to speak the language fluently as he had learned abroad to speak Spanish. Returning to the United States, he resumed his studies at the University of Chicago, from which he received the degree of master of arts in 1908.

Open Every Evening Until Christmas 1 Opens An Account Harvard to continue his research work in history and political science. In 1909 he accepted a position as instructor in romance languages in the Washington high schools that he might make the necessary research in the Library of Congress to write his doctoral dissertation, "The Disruption of Virginia," which was accepted at Harvard in 1912, when he obtained there the degree of doctor of philosophy. Woodson has published, through the Associated Publishers, two very important books, "The History of Negro Church" and "The Negro in Our History." The treatise on the church undertakes to present the religious development of the Negro in one panorama, sketching the coming of the early missionaries, the appearance of the Negro preachers as the result of liberalizing influences, the use of the African church, its struggle with forces without and within, and, finally, its triumph as a socializing institution around which develops the new life of a rising race. "The Negro in Our History" has proved to be the most popular of all. This is a well-illustrated text-book planned to meet the long-felt need of a suitable work for students desirous of knowing the leading facts of Negro life and history. In this work there has been treated every important phase of history influenced by the Negro. Beginning with the situation in Africa, the author discusses the enslavement of the Negro at home and abroad, the sort of bondage experienced, the first steps for its amelioration, the re- action against the Negro: the economic aspect of slavery, abolition, colonization, the question in Congress, the Civil War, the reconstruction, the readjustment, the achievements of the race in freedom, the Negro of the World War, and the struggle for social justice. It has been well received by the press, the school and the pulpit as a much-needed contribution to American historical literature destined to secure for the Negro race a new hearing at the bar of public opinion. Woodson has recently produced three other important works: "The Negro Orators and Their Orations," "Free Negro Heads of Families," and "The Mind of the Negro as Reflected in Letters Written During the Crisis—1800-1880." The writings of Woodson are generally historical. And they are more important to the Negro than all the mediocre novels written by colored authors. Woodson has spent nearly all his life in historical research work concerning the growth of the Negro in various walks of life. As a historian, he is pre-eminent. In his books he misses here and there a few correct statements and falls into some misrepresentation, but he is generally well acquainted with his subject and stands best alone in that line. As a stylist he is seldom beautiful. He is mostly dry at times; but what of this when he gives us the most important facts of a race's history? His style is his only fault, and that is no fault at all. Although he endeavors to be simple, his language TROUBLES EXTRA SLAYS WIFE WITH AXE; MAN THEN TURNS ON GAS Ethel Miles, 40, 202 West 134th Street, top floor, was killed late yesterday when her husband, it is alleged, struck her across the spinal column with an axe.

Best Sport Pages in Greater New York Renaissance Five Went Down to Inglorious Defeat, Opines News Writer But Will Perhaps Be a Rejuvenated Bunch When They Meet Brooklyn Dodgers at Manhattan Casino Monday Night Bv FRANCIS On Christmas, Monday night, December 26, at Manhattan Casino, the fast-going Brooklyn, Dodgers will again do their stuff against Bob Douglas' Renaissance Five in a game that is bound to be classed as one of the season's classics. The Brooklyn team is one of the few teams that has been a thorn in the sides of the colored champions, and recently trimmed them on their home courts at the Renaissance Casino. The preliminary game will bring together the Tatler and St. Jude's girls, and, as both teams are noted as among the best in their class, this is bound to be an interesting game and the fans had better come out early to secure their seats. A combination of circumstances, plus the very good playing of the opposing team, were responsible for the second defeat of the Renalsance on their home court at Renalsance Casino Sunday night. The Elizabeth Pros of Elizabeth, N. J., were the quintet that turned the trick by the score of 30 to 23. Without taking away any credit from the visitors, who played admirably well, the Renalsance gave one of the poorest exhibitions seen on their courts this season. To say they were off is putting it mildly, and added to this the management of the team was as faulty as the team was had. Seld gonis, and caging four out of five of his free tries from the foul lines, while good old reliance "Fat" Jenkins tossed two from the floor and got one foul. For the visitors, Brown and Dunn starred, the former sinking five field goals and one foul, and the latter four and one. The team is fast and all are good shots and should be brought to Harlem again. Next Sunday night the Renalsance will line up against the New York Aces, who have just concluded a trip West, where they won seventeen out of nineteen games. It seemed as if Bob wanted to chastise somebody for something, so he allowed the team to go from bad to worse. Sunday's game demonstrated the fact that the team is not the same with both "Fat" Jenkins and Captain Slocum on the side lines. One is the dynamo and the other the spark plug of the Renaissance engine, and that is just what was lacking on the team in their losing game against the Elizabeth Pros. The Rens went into the lead at the start of the game, but before they had made half a dozen points the visitors were leading 13 to 5, a trick that they never relinquished for the remainder of the contest the first half ending 19 to 11. Slocum, with an injured knee, was too tame to start, but "Fat" Jenkins was rushed in at the start of the second half, and though he gave sterling service, he could not prevent Saunders from giving the most terrible exhibition he has shown at the Harlem courts this season, nor could "Fat's" playing enable "Pappy" Ricks to find that once unerring shooting eye of his that seems to have been permanently lost, or help him in passing or receiving the ball, an art that he once possessed, though you wouldn't think so now. Ever Harold Mayers and Saitch. The playing of these two in the first half had to add its contribution to the pathetic exhibition of the colored champs, Mayers missing five of his seven free tries from the foul lines, and Saitch following suit by only caging one out of eight tries.

For the visitors, Brown and Dunn starred, the former slinking five field goals and one foul, and the latter four and one. The team is fast and all are good shots and should be brought to Harlem again. Next Sunday night the Renaissance will line up against the New York Aces, who have just concluded a trip West, where they won seventeen out of nineteen games played. In the line-up will be "Big Bill" Kampmeyer, one of the game's brainiest players, and "Dutch" Schneltz, formerly with Chicago American League club, as forwards; Eddle Rausch as pilot man, and Weir and Hank McKew, formerly Italian Catholic club star guards, will take care of the defense. In one of the most interesting and exciting preliminary games seen at the Renaissance Casino, the Cres Club defeated the Mohawks, 36 to 35 in a contest that required an extra period that was fast, with baskets or fouls being made at the rate of one every few seconds by both teams, the Cres Club finally winning out by one point. Next Sunday night the Majestics will meet the Monitors in a league game for the Bob Douglas trophy offered to the winners in the Eastern Junior League. RENAISSANCE.

Phil Edwards, metropolitan and national junior half-mile champion, is the first of the field of star middle-distance runners to accept the invitation extended by Dr. Joseph A. Viverite, chairman of the Columbus Council K. of C. games committee. to compete in the Mayor Walker half-mile special at the indoor names of that Council to be held at the 106th Infantry Armory (old 23d regiment) on Saturday evening, Jan. 7. Edwards is a student at New York University and his coach, Emil Von Zilling, who has developed him into one of the best half-milers in the country today, looks for Edwards to how some sensational racing on the boards this winter. It will be recalled that last summer at Lincoln, Neb., after winning the A. A. u.n. national junior half-mile championship in 1.55 day 2.5, he came back he following day and ran a sensational race only to lose the senior half-mile title to Ray Watson by inches, after leading the field to ithm a yard of the finish. The time, 1.53 3.5, equaled the championship record. Although he has had the benefit of American coaching and training and has developed right here in New York from a mediocre runner to one of the best in the United states, he will be competing against America in the Olympic Games at Amsterdam next Summer, as he has not been in this country the required period to make him eligible or American citizenship. He has, therefore, decided to compete for Canada, as he is a British subject. Among those invited to race against Edwards at the "Casy" meet are: Lloyd Layn, Pinkey Sober, George Lenne s, Johnny Holden, Ed Swinburn, Willie Sullivan and Bernard McCaffery.

WITH the relegation of football to things past, the attention of sport lovers now turns to a sport, which, since its relatively late inception, has become one of the best loved of sports. This sport is basketball. It is generally and universally known that from the standpoint of physical fitness basketball is perhaps the most exacting of sports. Under no conditions can a player stand the ever increasing action and speed of a fast moving basketball game if he is physically out of condition. On Friday, December 2, 1927, Coach Harold Martin issued the first call for basketball candidates. The response was very encouraging. After explaining in a few words the aims and plans, the session was concluded with the order that active practice would start on Monday, December 5. One of the prime requisites of a successful basketball team is ample practice space. With the completion of our new gymnasium, this dream will be realized. At present facilities are scarcely adequate to develop a team which can be expected to do wonders. However, with a grit and determination that have stamped him as a coach of the first magnitude, Martin has deliberately set about to develop a basketball team. Virginia State College is still in the embryonic stage, from the standpoint of basketball. This condition will not always be true. From the representation at the first meeting of candidates for the squad it was evident, from the determination and interest which plainly showed on the faces of the ambitious candidates, that Coach Martin will have the utmost co-operation in making this a real basketball season. The gymnasium, as mentioned above, when completed will be one of the best and most completely equipped in this section. The aid of a gymnasium in the development and participation in athletics is invaluable. This gymnasium, which has been the dream and vision of President John M. Gandy and the Athletic Committee since the college first became a potent factor in the education of colored youth, will, when completed, be the scene of the basketball contests. Coach Martin, as evidence of his belief in the co-operation of the candidates, is preparing an imposing schedule, which, notwithstanding the present inadequate practicing facilities, will be gone through with. Since facilities have been so needful, basketball enthusiasm has suffered at this institution. There are, nevertheless, still a few who think of basketball in high terms. Coach Martin is attempting to spread and develop interest in the game. With the assistance of the faithful few who still like the game, interest in the game is slowly but surely increasing. Basketball talk is now indulged in, where football talk was formerly the topic of the day. The student body, realizing the ability and character of the coach, are one and all at his back in making a determined-beginning in the C. L. A. A. basketball schedule. In view of the fact that previously no concentrated effort has been extended in the direction of basketball, the campus boasts of no "veterans" or old stars. There are, however, a few experienced men who, acting as a nucleus, will give Coach Martin a foundation upon which to build. Joel Mayer, fast and versatile forward who saw active service during his prep days at Huntington High of Newport News; "Tom" Payne, Virginia State's all around athlete, and William Robinson, the tall, lanky athlete from Union High, are a few experienced men who are doing their utmost along with Coach Martin to arouse interest in this sport. Coach Martin's proteges are making an impressive beginning and are laying the foundation of many succeeding years of basketball. St. "See" Defeats Vandals And Gains First Place ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 18—St. Christopher, fresh from its victory over Asbury Park, swept the Vandals off their feet in the second half of a bitterly but cleanly fought game last week. For the first half and five minutes of the second, it looked as though St. "See" could not hit its stride. Billy Baskerville and Knox started the fireworks as soon as the whistle blew and for quite a while it looked as though St. See would be hopelessly outclassed,aint S. e has a team that rivals the famous Passaic High School team of five years ago. Mechanical perfection is Coach Bradford's keynote. That the boys can keep their heads under heavy fire was demonstrated last Friday night.

PRINCESS CLUB CONCERT AND DANCE FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 23d Imperial Auditorium 160-4 West 129th Street BATTLE FOR TRY AT FLOWERS Bobby Burns, pride of Brownsville, recently pointed at New Ridgewood Grove by Bruce Flowers, was so anxious for a return match that he started his howling almost before he had stepped out of the ring. He roared at Matchmaker Jack Clifford: "Get him back for me. He wasn't untitled to the decision. Get him back and I'll reverse it." Clifford smiled indulently and kept him. He knew that Johnny Fluencel was practically matched to meet Flowers at the Olympic A.C. in Harlem. Fluencel had just pummed Bobby Garcia to a far three well, and Flowers was taking notice of him. Clifford hit upon the idea of bringing Fluencel and Burns together, the winner to get the crack at the colored champion. Filucci, when approached, was found willing to tackle Burns, being confident he could topple him. Both Filucci and Burns realize that a victory over Flowers will advance the winner to the first line of trenches in the lightweight division, with plenty of financial reward. Howard Team Banqueted; Ross New Captain for 1928 WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Howard University varsity football squad of forty men were banqueted in the University dining hall Wednesday, Dec. 14, as guests of the administration of Board of Athletic Control. Present at the banquet were: Dr. M. O. Dumas, members of the Board of Trustees; Dr. W. M. Johnson, president; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, and the following members of the Board of Athletic Control: Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman; Dean D. O. W. Holmes, Professor Frank Coleman, Mr. B. F. Jackson, Mr. James M. Carter, Mr. Martin M. Powell, Mrs. James F. Goodwin and Mr. Lester Braden. Present also were: Dr. J. E. T. Camper, former member of the Board of Athletic Control, and Daniel W. Edmonds, cashier, Howard University. All of those named gave two-minute speeches, followed by Captain "Biff" Martin and the older members of the squad. The players were unusually generous in praise of Coen Watson. Edgar M. Ross, star halfback for the p. three years, was unanimously elected captain for 1928. "Ross," as he is known, promises to give his all to the team and predicts another national championship machine. Theodus Conner, a junior, has been elected football manager to succeed M. Lester Braden. Sandy Taylor Will Trade Wallops With Joe La Gray Sandy Taylor Will Trade Wallops With Joe La Gray One of the clearest wetterweights in the ring today will he see at the 16th Infantry Armory. Friday night, when the New York National Guard, the New York National Guard, meets La Gray in the main event of ten rounds. Taylor will have to give craft, for Matchmaker Marty Postal has stuck him on against La Gray, the Pennsylvania youngster, who has been coming along like a house affair for the past few years. There is no wasted motion at any time on his part. He is of the Retton type, painting, blocking, dodging, never necessary, he is not necessary, he is also a good counter fighter. La Gray is aggressive from the word go. An evening limit cannot be far as he is concerned unless he has an accompaniment on the floor a couple of times. Mosquito Team Has Been Rejuvenated and Sting Sharpened The famous Tuxedo Club of East Orange, New Jersey, which is the mosquitos State a most popular and leading organization, will be represented on the courts again this season. The team, known throughout the country as the "Tuxedo Tigers," is now in process of development. Many new players have reported for practice and Coach J. Richard Lee and Captain James Peacock have been industriously schooling them for several weeks. The Tigers are more favored this year than they have, been for the past two seasons because of the first class material, which is only a matter of development, and means much to the Blue and Gold. Nothing remarkable is expected of the Tigers in the earlier clashes with weak opponents as trial horses, but after the first of the year Lee and Peacock should have welded together a combination which will provide plenty of trouble for their stronger opponents. There is little likelihood of the Big Cat being caged and made to taste defeat by the trial horses. In fact, these games will tune up the aggregation and put them in shape to meet St. C., of New York; Athensians, of Baltimore; Scholastics, of Phila., and any team in Atlantic City. Games with these clubs are desirous. The Tuxedo Tigers team is made up of such players as James Peacock, captain; Glasco Jones, Harry Raymond, James Langley, Henry Bell, Gilbert Jones, "Colonel" Goode, Harry Clark, Al Farley, Leonard Scott, Stord Murphy and Herman Young. The Tigers will open their season January 16, 1928, at Titan Auditorium in Orange. Plans are in the making to introduce for the first time a brand new feature in these parts of New Jersey. The management warns the public to sacrifice everything and greet the Tigers when they make their initial bow. Any club wishing to book the Tigers can write J. Richard Lee, 327 Amherst street, East Orange, N. J. The Roped Arena By FAIRDEAL. Few titles have ever changed hands in the past that the new champion did not proclaim, his willingness to meet competitor comes easily to be a faring champion, as it were. Tommy Loughran, by virtue of his victory over Jimmy Slattery in New York, has been a pioneer in innovation however; he evidently is going to do just what he promised and has signed to meet Leo Osmond early in battle once a month, if the promoters can supply the demand of worth while opponents of this. Tommy is alleged to have stated he does NOT draw the color line now, which, quite naturally, turns out to be true in regard to the late Tiger Fowers, to wonder if the passing of the good Dencon had anything to do with his overcomes his timidity regarding "Shadows." Few years back a colored boxer named Jerry is里程 along the middleweight horizon, Sunny Jim Williams by name, and proceeded to run up an imposition for the title, Gordon Ford, Pal Reed, Leo Lomski were included among his victims and over the r. route he defeated Billy Conley, Manuelau, Gordon McKay, Jamalee Kid. Walk Müller, manager of Tiger Flowers, immediately snailed a dangerous duel with his own "Deacon" Flowers, and in order to remove Sunny from the path, signed him up under his own "Ha" immediately shipped Williams to Australia, where he remained for two years, boxing more than that of his former middle, light heavy and heavy-weight champions of that country. However, since the passing of the Mickey Walker, Williams and will put him into the middleweight and light heavyweight scramble. It looks as though Mickey Walker, born in New York, now has crowned in the class above, will still be singing that popularilty "Me and my shadow, you and your shadow, Dave Shade and Jack McVey, will enliven the middleweight class quite a little, while Leo Lonski, and "Sunny," pinch hitting, will add zest to that class.

RDAY IGHT 24th VOY West Ballroom 140-141st Street HOUSEWINE EXCHANGE MERRY AMAZING A MERRY CHRISTMAS to the readers of the Housewives' Exchange. From time to time we have discussed almost every room in the house and I am presuming that we are ready for the holiday season. We have not, however, mentioned the reception or entrance hall. The first glimpse you may have of ones around you may form the admiration of the beauty that follows. Let the entrance to your home speak "hospitality" in itself by the air of welcome it has. Let the room that receives the least consideration have a fair share of thought and planning. Among many types of halls the small dark one presents the greatest difficulty in decorating. First of all, the walls must be light. A light tinted, all-over pattern, or one-on-one accent can be used on wall paper. A scenic wall paper much more desirable, as this type tends to enlarge the room. The various treatments of the floor must be selected according to the architecture of the interior of the house or apartment. The small hall of Italian or Spanish style calls for a tiled floor. This may be genus tile or the inlaid linoleum that can now be purchased in the tile patterns. If the tiled floor is used then, or pierce, the walls in this should be in a round, or if Tiffany (stippled) have it tinted in old ivory. If the hall is a small Colonial one or no particular period is followed, use the paper suggested above for the walls, and the floor may be CLUB CHATS planist, who made her debut Saturday evening at Landay Hall.

Notes The Girl Reserves of the West 187th street branch are already busy with their service work of filling stockings to be distributed by the Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, and are planning for a Christmas tree for the children of Mrs. Bell's Day Nursery. The girls will also pack and distribute candy and fruit in cooperation with the Renalssance Theatre. The real meaning of Christmas was commemorated on Sunday, December 18, by the Christmas service and pageant in the auditorium at 4 p.m. There were singing of Christmas carols and a tableau of the birth of Christ. During the week preceding Christmas there will be many festivities. The True Blue Girl-Reserve Club is planning a party-for which charming invitations are out-for Tuesday, December 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. The high-school clubs will have the horse and ceremonial on Friday, December 21, and the Girl-tree for the Day Nursery commence December 24, from 6 to 7 p.m. The younger Girl Reserves made a trip to Wanakeram's Toyland on December 17. All the adult members of the branch will celebrate with a general membership Christmas party on Thursday evening. December 22. Invitations may be secured by the members for their friends from the information desk. The physical department celebrated the holiday season with a party in the gymnasium on December 16. It will give a water carnival tonight. There will not be a regular meeting in the auditorium on Christmas Day, but there will be a radio Christmas program in the lobby from 4:30 to 5:30. During the week between Christmas and New Year's there will be other celebrations. The Girl Reservers will have their big department Christmas party on December 29, from 8 to 10. Some of the are having a theatre party with some of the young men from the Y, M. C. A. cn December 28. The branch staff will entertain the committee of management at tea on Wednesday afternoon, December 28 at 4. The cafeteria employees are their Christmas party on De stained, varnished, highly waxed or carpeted from wall to wall. Again, if the floor beams are too thick, the small wired rugs are, effectively, when scattered around. Even though the hall should have a pleasant and hospitable atmosphere, it should also be dignified. The lighting should be from wall brackets, a center drop light or a table lamp. A small entrance hall may be decorated very effectively by a curved mat and mulligant lowey against the wall, with a pair of push-bottom ladder-back chairs, one on each side of the lowboy. On the lowboy is a deep blue glass vase containing flowers in season. A pair of pewter candlesticks, fitted with ivory candles, are placed on the lowboy on either side of the vase of flowers. Above the hall hang a crown of gold typed gold frame is quite suitable. Remember to have a cheerful light glowing, but avoid the bright glaring lights. Furs We have talked about furs at different times, as to what kind to buy for dress and sport, those that are perishable, durable, etc. Now our fur talk is to advise young ladies and older ladies who buy fur coats to be careful to buy in places with names and reputations that represent an advertising investment. Beware of unadvertised stores. Judge Brodsky of New York warns women that irresponsible houses with unknown names sell one kind of fur coat in the shop, take thecember 30. There will be a New Year's reception and open house on Sunday, January 1, from 4 to 5:30. Beauty Hints By MINA TEMPLE Your Fortune — Your Face "My face is my fortune, sir," she said. So runs the line of an old-time song, whose philosophy is true even now. Maidens are too often cruelly confronted with the fact that much—too much—depends upon their fortune, as expressed in their face. Therefore, it is the wise woman who forestall time and the other toll-takers of life by guarding against inroads. A stitch in time saves not only nine but ninety and nine—even happiness. Again and again we are urged to use 'ice' in a small piece rubbed over the face to tighten and firm it; but listen to this gentle hint: having no loge water—471 is excellent. The astringing acts as an armor, a protective against the greatest enemy to beauty the loose, sagging skin which comes upon one with the years. Santa Claus Is Coming SANTA CLAUS is coming. I think I hear his bell; But just what time he'll get here I really cannot tell. He has so far to travel I hope he'll not be late; His reindeer travel swiftly— They say he's driving eight. Santa Claus is coming. I'm sure he is on his way. If he expects to get here In time for Christmas Day. (Copyright, 1927. Josie Lee Tim- beriake.)

Christmas Dinner Since Christmas comes but once a year it should most assuredly not be spent in the kitchen. There are too many delightful things going on in the living room around the Christmas tree for anyone to be a housewife on Christmas Day. Yet the family is looking forward to festive Christmas dinner, which must be prepared by someone. So in order to take part in the festivities in the parlor on Christmas Day plan your dinner ahead. The following menu is simple but delicious: Holly Canape Tomato Soup Crackers Roast Turkey Roast Goose Cranberry Sauce Mashed Yellow Turnips Stuffed Green Peppers Pineapple Salad on Lettuce Leaves Rocquefort Cheese Mince Pie Plum Pudding Coffee Nuts Candy Holly Canape Sauce round slices of bread in hot melted butter. Cut slices of pimento in star shapes and place one red star on each circle of sauce toasted. Sprinkle with chopped pareley and garnish with holly sprigs. Serve at once.

DISCRIMINATION FOR WOMEN IN INDUSTRY WASHINGTON. — Wages, hours and working conditions for women in three states, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Delaware, as recently studied by the U. S. Women's Bureau, show starting discriminations. In wages and working conditions confronting Negro women in those three jurisdictions. Long hours were also discovered in the toll of unfavorable industrial conditions affecting both the white and Negro women in the three states named. Earnings varied from a median of $8.60 for white women and $7.75 for Negroes in Mississippi; of $11.10 for whites and $6.95 for Negroes in Tennessee; and for whites $11.05 in Delaware in factories, stores and laundries, of $10.15 in hotels and restaurants, and of $4.40 in canneries. For Negroes in Delaware the median was $10.75 in hotels and restaurants, and in canneries it was $5.55. Many a woman marries because she is more compassionate than companionate. The Limit.

Dusk A MISTY curtain of silvery gray is lowered out of an evening sky: It silently heralds the close of day And whispers softly that night is nigh. It bids the toiler cease his task And turn his tired footsteps home. It stifles the question he might ask And lights the road for him to rosin. The dusky curtain has turned to black. Night in her ebony cloak now rides. Far above each star is kept intact. For over them a silent, silvery moon presides. How, then, can we, mere paltry men, With arms outstretched, stand-on the sod. Watch the eve mingle with the night and then Dare doubt the infinite presence of our God! —HELEN V. McINTOSH. George Washington and Phyllis Wheatley GEORGE WASHINGTON was charmed and pleased by an excellent poem sent to him by the talented poet of Revolutionary times, Phyllia Wheatley, and wrote her a courteous acknowledgment. "The incident is recounted by Rupert Hughes in the second volume of his biography, "George Washington, the Rebel and the Patriot," which has just been published by William Mortow & Company. Shoppers' Guide --- The verses, which Mr. Hughes says "are quite as good as many written by famous names of that century," were sent on the occasion of Washington's commissioner-in-chief of the Continental Army. They are as follows: of light, Columbia's scenes of glorious toils I While freedom's cause has an anxious breast alarm, thefinches dreadful in refugient arms Wherever shines this native of the skies. sand gates! Aswathi Ebolus heaven's fair face deform. Enwrapped in jempset and a night of Astonish'd ocean feels the wild uproar.

These first in place and honors—we demand Anon Brittania drops the pensive head. While it increases the rilious bills With gold unfading, WASHINGTON be thine. According to Mr. Hughes, Washington told a friend that "at first, with a view of doing justice to her great poetical genius, I had a great mind to publish the poem, but not knowing whether it might be considered rather as a mark of my own vanity than as a compliment to her, I laid it aside." Phyllis Wheatley was twenty-one years old at that time and already had a volume of poetry to her credit.

I shall be happy to see a person so favored by the musea, and to whom nature has bestowed her gifts for her dispositions. I am, with great respect, your obedient, humble servant. Phyllis Wheatley was born in Africa and brought to Boston in a slave ship at the age of seven years, in 1761. She took her last name from her purchaser, the treasurer of the school she had educated. She began to write verses. The fame of the first of the Negro poets of America spread to England, whence she received complimentary letters from the Countess of Huntingdon, the Earl of Dartmouth, and the preacher Whitefield. The Child in Our Midst PROFOUNDLY significant was the action of Jesus, when, to end the contention and rebuke the selfish ambition of His disciples, he took a little child and placed blim in the midst of them. And still the presence of the child in the midst has its significance. It is God's means of perpetuating the human race. The child in the midst today is a learner—and an apt one, too. A little girl was heard to call her little sister a devil, and her parents wondered where she had heard such an expression. The child's nurse laughed and confessed that often she had called it a little devil. The three-year-old daughter of educated parents distressed them "dis" "dat" "der" for this, and that there. They could not understand until the mother heard the uneducated hired woman teaching the child to talk. A little boy, following his father cried out, "Lood, dad, its comin', its steppin' in your twacks." A teacher was chiding a little girl who had used improper language, when the child said: "Why that ain't nothin', my mamma says that any time." Yes, the child in our midst is a learner, an apt learner, and we should be ever careful that in word and in deed the lessons we teach him should be helpful ones. The child in our midst is a learner, and we should be the little child there to teach His disciples and still the little child is a teacher, not by precept, but in the most potential way—by example: And this teaching he does unconsciously.

Why can an excuse always be made for a poor Brown team, or a mediocre Harvard team and an excellent Wilberforce or Atlanta team go unnoticed. For ten years I have watched white and colored scholastic and college teams perform and to save me I can see no great marked difference, save a constant wealth of material pouring into the white institutions, while the colored coach must set up a complete training school and still produce a great team. Criticism, if it is constructive, is merely an incentive to progress, but if it is scratching and non-constructive it is only ill in its effects. Inasmuch as we produce most of our "Moe" Daleys of Army callbre; John Smiths of Notre Dame fame, and Eddie Tryon of Colgate, and Yankee glory in four short years in colleges that have neither money to adequately pay coaches, or equipment to train players, it seems that we ought to be amazed at the comparatively fine results secured. I mention the above white players especially because I happen to know that they all entered college with excellent backgrounds in the game. And that their previous training in the game is a fair indication of what most of these boys have received before they enter college. It is no dark secret that it takes a man at least a year to acquire a working knowledge of the fundamentals of football so he can execute them. To round this same green man into a dependable player takes another and before he begins to reach his actual possibilities he is a junior. At this rate it does not take an ingenious person to imagine the distance a Tryon, who prepped at Suffield, or a Smith at Harvard High, to be ahead of a colored boy from Albion Academy by the time they are all juniors. The latter may have the same potential power, but before he can master the fine points of the game he is playing his last one in college. I had the wonderful lost feeling of looking over a group of over twenty-five men at a colored institution who presented themselves as backfield candidates for a college team and, but seven of them could even begin to catch punts, fall on the ball or take out, even though these are only fundamentals, but as necessary to backs as a step-ladder is to a painter. Though we could only actually afford to spend a few days on these fundamentals because of approaching games, yet we had to take our chances and cut in on the time that ought to have been given to the perfection of team play. The reason for such conditions are obvious when we consider the feeders for such institutions as Atlanta, Fisk, Howard, Wilberforce and others. They come from high schools where they play in everything from street shoes to sneakers. Where there were no paid coaches or facilities for actually training a team. Just a few days ago I read in one of the colored papers of one of the largest colored high schools in the East cutting down its schedule to three or four games, because the authorities did not think it advisable for them to schedule games that would keep the team away over night, even though it was Friday. This school happens to be a feeder for Howard, Morgan and Lincoln. And they plan to follow the same practice for the coming year, which means none of the three colleges mentioned will secure a single freshman from it within the next two years who is well grounded in the fundamentals of football. With similar illustrations in mind, no right minded colored fan should be found low rating the efforts or results of the coaches of these colleges. There have been Byrds, Ritchies, Paynes, Costons and scores of others that any white institution would have been glad to claim. These men were the products of the "terrible colored coach." As soon as the colored preparatory schools take a brace these same colleges will be able to handle all comers, whether they are conference or Eastern teams. As a parting shot to my good colored brother who charges and snorts at the sight of white much as a bull does at red, I would say that Howard, Wilberforce, Lincoln and others do much better now with their resources than Wesleyan, Williams, Columbia and a number of others. So when these chair-warmers and traffic congesters settle down for their famous winter sport of blowing bubbles, they should not forget to give a cheer for the colored coach who works practically from zero and for zero. The Frank Young championship football trophy was awarded to the A. and T. College of Greensboro, N. C., and presented to Coach Byrnm on behalf of the association by Dr. J. W. Barco of Virginia Union. A. and T. was officially dubbed as the champions of the 1927 season. The basketball championship for the 1926-1927 season was awarded to Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected: Dr. W. G. Alexander, president; Dr. J. W. Barco, first vice-president; T. M. Crowder, second vice-president; J. A. Grimes, third vice-president; C. H. Williams, secretary-treasurer, and J. L. Whithead, assistant secretary-treasurer. Virginia State College will be the meeting place of the C. I. A. A. annual meeting in 1928. The annual C. I. A. a track and field meet will be held at Hampford Institute on May 12, 1928. At Lincoln University on May 19, 1928, Lincoln will hold her open intercollegiate track meet. The annual C. I. A. a tennis tournament will be held at Virginia State College on May 19, 1928.

BENNY HALL Was Robbed of the Decision Against Sanstol in Brooklyn Last Week, but Made an Auspicious Debut at an Armory Battle When He Defeated Harry Brandon, of the Fourteenth Infantry, in the Final Ten-Round Bout at the Twenty-seventh Division Train Armory Last Thursday Night. HALL WINS IN ARMORY DEBUT Colored Battler Swarmed All Over Harry Brandon Thursday Night Benny Hall, formerly of St. Louis and now a member of the 369th Infantry, made good in his armory debut last Thursday night when he defeated Harry Brandon, of the 14th Infantry, in the final 10-round bout at the 27th Division Train drill shed. The little colored battler swarmed all over Brandon, who holds the National Guard bantamweight championship, from the opening to the final bell. Not a single round, in all fairness, could be given to the 14th representative. The first, fourth and final frames were perhaps even but the rest were all Hall, beyond the least shadow of a doubt. Benny did most of the leading, he did most of the landing and he did the most damage. One word, class, describes better than anything else just what Hall's margin of victory was. Class was written all over the diminutive ebony-hued boy. He has met and defeated better boxers than Brandon. Benny pounded Brandon's kidneys so much that, by the time the tenth stanza had rolled around, the latter's left side was one huge welt of crimson. Only in that last round did Harry display any real combative spirit. In that session he assumed the offensive and his short, jerky blows were getting home with greater frequency than at any other time during the fight. Both battlers entered the ring over the bantamweight limit of 118 pounds. Hall by eight ounces and Brandon by three pounds, so the title was not involved. Johnny Horan, smiling scraper from the 106th, was the winner on a foul after 1 minute and 44 seconds of the third round in the scheduled six-round opener over Freddy Williams, the entry from the 369th. Horan weighed 117, Williams 119½. Johnny, up until the unfortunate foul, was passing out enough punishment for the whole 369th Regiment, and certainly enough for Williams. --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21, 1927 COLL Here M TW WE ARE $ FOR THESE $35 a M to Assessments Mil- OF Mer- Or Call Mr. N The Decision Against Sanstol le an Auspicious Debut at fateed Harry Brandon, of Final Ten-Round Bout at in Armory Last Thursday SUNDAY DEC.25th HERE'S YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT Old Man Santa Will Present Savoy's Gift to You --- Be Here or You'll Be Sorry You Missed 12 Hours of Yuletide Merriment See!

A. C. P. a victory in the Southern, reassembled in an informal tech Sunday afternoon at a tea the Walker Studio, 108 West 10th street. "You don't need a lion dollar church in which to when you can pray outside, at money could be put into orizations which would do good to six days in the week—organisms like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," he said. His jovial yet clear-cut manner, Darrow referred to men who were champions of the Negro's cause, such as John Brown, Charles Sumner and Wendell Phillips. He declared that, though he was introduced "as a lover of humanity and a champion of the Negro's cause," it I can't because Negroes are any better than anybody else, but he likes best the people of which he knows ho the least. are "It has not been so long since Negroes would have been gathered together, so nicely dressed and so firstly behaved—which means behaving like white people," (laughter adr from audience) the speaker said, as lowe told of the road over which the horNegro has come, and referred to by the types of white people. the In all seriousness Mr. Darrow compounded the keynote in his speech then he said in conclusion: "I am now on the Negro has to work out his own salvation. Education, courage, confidence and money are appealed. When you get enough of them, you are going to win." This tea, to which over 200 persons were invited, was sponsored by the Committee of One Hundred Women, an auxiliary to the N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth avenue, from 4 to 6 o'clock, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Darrow. Mrs. Inez Richardson, Wilson, mistress of ceremonies for the afternoon, presented Mrs. Darrow a bouquet of sweet peas as a remembrance from the auxiliary.

Fuse Eliminators When constructing any electric set or eliminator, it is a good idea to put 3-ampere fuses in the 110-volt line. In case a loose wire should short the 110-volt terminals the 3-ampere fuses will blow instead of the house fuses, and trouble can be limited to that particular piece of apparatus and its repair facilitated.

"Porgy" Director Talks to Collegiates --- BY LLEWELLYN A. WIBE. "No people are born artists. Art is art when it is consciously conceived. Negro actors are no different from any others who work hard to perfect their parts," said Rouben Manoulian, director of "Forgy," at the Sunday meeting of the Intercollegiate Club at the Urban League building, in telling what the Negro race can bring to the modern theatre. Mr. Manoulian believes that the Negro can bring and is bringing a vigor, a real emotion and a fine sense of rhythm as his distinct contribution to the modern theatre.

Two bills to discriminate against the Negro were introduced in the Senate last Tuesday by Senator Cole Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina. One of them would prohibit the intermarriage of Negroes and Caucasians anywhere in the United States. Any marriage of a Negro and Caucasian would be null and void and any white and colored persons who intermarried would be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to imprisonment for not less than six months or more than twelve. Any clergyman, minister of the gospel or magistrate who performed an intermarriage ceremony would also be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a like term of imprisonment. The other bill would require separate accommodations for white and colored passengers on street cars in the District of Columbia. The bill to prohibit intermarriage of white and colored persons was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Perry, a recent candidate for county judge, was able to secure the freedom of Mrs. Cora McCreary of 91 Liberty avenue, and Mrs. Giertrade Chandler of 18 Hull street, when they appeared in the Supreme Court before Justice Dunne a few days ago. Mr. Perry contended that the holding of the two women contrained that section of the constitution which guarantees life and liberty when they had not committed any crime. The women were held after Rufus McCreary, 35, had been cut to death on Oct. 6 by Rufus Chandler in front of 18 Hull street. Mrs. McCreary was charged and had been indicted for murder in the first degree. Mrs. Chandler was held in $10,000 bail as a material witness. The cause of the trouble it is reported was due to the time spent from time to time about her wife, Gertrude, being over friendly with McMcrey. He told Mrs. Sanders, and Gertrude the charges and then Chandler asked her to do with him and face McMcrey. She ignored this. The Chandler met the McMcrey and his wife. The charges were reported McMcrey denied them, but Chandler became enraged and got into the fight of the argument when it is alleged that Chandler drew a razor and cut McMcrey a wound. McMcrey believed that while the fight was going on Mrs McCrey stood by and watched her husband get cut. They also claim that she pulled the knife inside her husband. She was arrested and held on the charge of killing her husband, despite the shining evidence of his excitement Chandler made his escape and has not been located yet. Both women were held and the trustees were tried until Chandler had been brought to. He was charged with murder in the first degree, although it was not that the witness was not the death Lawyer Perry in his argument before Justice Dunn not only stressed point that his defense right, but also violated but he pointed to the satisfaction of the court that if was the cutting and not the shooting which was the cause of death, so Mrs. Dunn said, "The judge who was held as to material witness, was also discharged.

SECOND SECTION --- --- Wins Acquittal On Murder Charge Attorney Higgins Again Succeeds After Masterly Presentation of Case Mrs. MacKeen Hunt, of 31 McKibbon street, street who was represented by Counselor Tiramus L. Higgins, was acquitted eight in the county court on Thursday, Dec. 15. The case, which was heard by County Judge Franklin Taylor and absent district attorney Fred Kuff was in charge of the case for the State. Mrs. Hunt was charged with stabbing her husband, William Jackson, to death on Mrs. Hunt and her husband got into an argument, according to reports, over apartment house where he was Jantor Jackson, who was a man about five, five inches tall, muscular and well-defined defense soaked a knife it is alleged, and stabbed him twice. One wound was inflicted in the left side side the cellar, and the other on the left side near the chamber. Counselor Higgins, who was assisted by Attorney Philip Jones, interposed the plea of self-defense. The case started One of the points raised by Mr. Higgins was that the District Attorney, in his counsel from Mrs. Hunt in the station house, following her arrest, had made an error in law, and made a mistake. Judge Taylor denied the motion, with the understanding that if Mr. Higgins could prove his point he could make. After considerable research Counselor Higgins submitted any number of authorities in support of this conviction, and had failed to make on a case under the law showing malice, intent, premeditation and deliberation. In writing argument on the part of the people in opposition to the motion, granted the motion of Higgins, and would not have used go to the counsel of acquittal for the defendant.

Some woke from with self-interest, as did Judas; others with admiration, as the rich young man, but these fall short of that ideal unimaginable.

JAMAICA, L. I. NELLIE PERKINS HARRIES, Hostess ADMISSION 60 CTS. Jim Crow Republican Controversy (From The Citizen, Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 10, 1927) Mr. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who, in addition, is a poet, has taken a hand in the controversy between representatives of the colored Republicans in this country and the management of the Republican County organization. The incident arose over the celebration of the so-called "Victory Dinner" in honor of Assemblyman Storey, the sole survivor of the Republican debacle in November. Some thirty of the leading colored Republican men and women in this county paid $3 each to attend this dinner, which was held in Kismet Temple. Much to their surprise and indignation they were segregated away from the white folks in a corner of the banquet hall. Mrs. W. R. Lawton, a cultured colored lady, refused to remain for the dinner and left as a protest against the drawing, in the city of Henry Ward Beecher, of the Jim-Crow line. In an interview in the "Citizen" Mrs. Lawton complained that the 75,000 colored people in this borough have refused recognition by Mr. Livingston, the Republican county leader. Mr. Livingston, in reply, said that he had seen no colored people at the dinner and knew nothing of the drawing of the "Jim-Crow" line. He explained that he had not nominated any colored Republican leader for Alderman or Assemblyman, as was done in Manhattan by the New York County Republican organization, for the reason that there is no distinctive Negro belt in this community, as there is in Harlem. The 75,000 colored population of Brooklyn, he said, is scattered. Anyway, he added, the colored people have a representative in the party of their own and if they want to get jobs they must look to him to submit their claims. Mr. James Weldon Johnson, commenting on Mr. Livingston's statement in last night's "Citizen," said that his explanation was an evasion of the issue. He called it a pretty weak alibi. "The Negro expects," said Mr. Johnson, "from the Republican party the fair treatment they have a right to demand from any political party." He said he did not know the local political situation in Brooklyn, but in general he could say the Negro will not be bound much longer by mere appeal to sentiment. He voted for the Republican party for many seasons, both out of gratitude and because it was Hobson's choice. "If at the Republican dinner," continued Mr. Johnson, "there was deliberate Jim-Crowning of the colored delegates, then the colored people have every right to be indignant." 0111 555 1000 HEMPSTEAD, L.

"I called a policeman Wednesday night," Rev. Mr. Whaley explained, "because Mr. Medica is a head teller in the church, and I didn't in any church a year ago and threatened to do the same thing to me. I knew there was trouble brewing at the meeting Wednesday night, and I didn't in any church Medica knock down any more men." Mr. Medica says the people of the church have long wanted to be rid of Wednesday night, and this subject was coming up at the meeting Wednesday when the presiding elder of the district, Rev. Dr. S. H. V. Gumpa, would be asked to dismiss the chief pastor. Mr. Gumba had a savers cold and could not speak above a whisper, so he brought along a substitute. Mr. Medica said that it was unconstitutional in the church for somebody to substitute for the elder, refused to let the substitute do business and can proceed without not wanting the substitute to preach according to Rev. Mr. Medica, was that Mr. Whaley wanted to cloud the resignation on the church law. The pastor says the church is at peace today and content to keep him another day. The pastor says the pastor's assistant says the parishioners would be happy to be rid of their pastor immediately; the diocesan grows space, the discos and trustees watching the battle of the pastors.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. Kidney Disease N EPIRILIS or knothes, dies suffer with the condition. There are two more chromos. The first has a salt time, generally from one begins gradually, unknown to a very long time. NEPHRITIS or kidney disease is very common. Children suffer with this condition with or without adult. There are two main groups of epiphytic and chronic. The first has a subtense onset and lasts a definite time, generally from one week to month. The chronic form begins gradually, unknown to the patient and continues over a very long time. The acute kidney disease is due to infection by microorganisms. The person suffers with some sudden severe disease of bacterial origin such as serofet fever, diphtheria, pneumonia, tuberculosis, erysipelas, carbuncle (bull of nack); and the bacteria causing these diseases produces a toxin which circulates in the blood and finally damages the kidneys. In other words, the primary disease is compilated with a secondary disease in the kidneys. This makes it imperative to properly treat and take care of any sudden bacterial disease. protein diet, if used to an excess vice very much the developing in chronic kidney disease. Protein is a chemically organic substance to aid in living matter, and is take into the body chiefly through animal food, meats, fish, eggs, one fruits and vegetables. Kidney disease of a chronic type is very rarely found in races who consume little or no protein. Take for instance the lacticinis. Their usual diet is composed of mates and camel's milk, only on rare occasions do they taste meat. I know of children who recovered from a slight attack of scarlet fever, but died soon after with an acute attack of nephritis. The scarlet fever was not properly treated. The parents called in a doctor until late; the children were exposed during the attack of scarlet fever; the toxins of the scarlet fever germs became virulent and injured the kidneys, resulting in fever, chills, suppression of the urine, retention of urinary polisons, toxemia and then death. Chronic nephritis, on the other hand, is a slow process of kidney injury. The cause of this form of kidney disease is due to chronic heart disease, focal infection in different parts of the body, and a high protein diet. This Among these people unknown. In the on the other hand, cause of death not about 10,000. It is fact that the people States are consume animal food, and in their bodies anemia. Medical men are that this abuse of combined with chr cause, is a direct cause of chronic nephritis, giving a list of the that have only a s protein, and which erode to so much very much to keep normal.

FEDW years ago a jury acquitted a man who had killed his child—a helpless invalid—he because he could not bear to see her. A few weeks prior another man taken the life of hisighter—an inmobe and for on he had cared twenty-five. his second man was old, arrested and near the end. He reasoned that no other person would live the patience and the interest to care for this unfortunate child he had cared for her. So, rather than risk having her neglected and abused, he sent her on to her death. ing ago the Supreme Court of Virginia sustained a passage by that State that mental and mor- will be so treated be able to null- protein diet, if used to an excess, invoices very much the developing chronic kidney disease. Protein is a chemically organic substance to aid in living matter, and is taken into the body chiefly through animal food, meats, fish, eggs, oil, fruits and vegetables. Kidney disease of a chronic type is very rarely found in races who consume little or no protein. Take for instance the lacto-ferments. Their usual diet is composed of nuts and camel's milk. Only on rare occasions do they taste meat. Among those people nephritis is unknown. In the United States, on the other hand, nephritis as a cause of death numbers annually about 100,000. It is a well known fact that the people of the United States are consumers of much animal food, and thus take with in their bodies an excess of protein. Medical men are of the opinion that this abuse of protein diet, combined with chronic heart disease, is a direct cause of so much chronic nephritis. I am therefore giving a list of the ordinary foods that have only a small amount of protein, and which, if used in preference to so much meat, will help very much to keep the kidneys normal.

And we must finally come to this if we would save not only our own country, but humanity. This is the view taken by a prominent mental specialist, Dr. Jane English Dunnaway, who boldly asserted: "Upsess medical science is perverted to prevent the propagation of children among the mentally deficient, the world, in time, will be inhabited by idiots. There are more than one million mentally deficient persons in the United States, and they are propagating their kind six times as rapidly as intelligent persons. "If it is good-sense to raise cattle, hogs and chickens from good stock, culling out the diseased and the deformed, why not of equal importance to use the same system in the bus area?" "It is a fact that 90 per cent of all mental unsoundness, lunacy, idiocy, imbecility and epilepsy can be traced to hereditary influences, to bad germ plasm, and these can only be controlled by stopping their source." Speaking of conditions in Missouri, Dr. Dunnaway asserted: "In Missouri alone there are 28,000 feeble-minded, idiotic persons; only 1,000 of them in institutions. The others are at home generating our citizens of tomorrow." Yes, our only salvation lies in preventing the propagation of the unfit. Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON The Things That Shine LIKE children, we grasp for the thing that shines. We look no further than the scintillant surface, and choose with the thoughtlessness of infant days. Shall we not grow wise with the years and learn before the set of the faint to look beyond extirpations and estimate values with thoughtful pause? Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21, 1927 Berlin-A City of 4,000,000 the principal features within the town fell into the hand of the architect with the purpose of building the Great Hall of the Royal and other great premises of the Thames River present, capable of wondrous decoration, the Northern Wing with portraits row of the London THE NEW YORK TIMES monarchs; the great banqueting hall and picture gallery with its magnificent chandeliers, marvelous decorations, and picture of William I being crowned Emperor at Versailles after his victory over France in 1871; the White Saloon; and the Palace, Chapel. The silk hangings, inlaid doors of nurest beauty, tall porcelain stoves, magnificently carved fireplaces, gilded furniture, inlaid tables, crystal chandeliers and pictures, combine to give an impression that here—in this palace—wealth and artistry had reached its zenith in producing refinement and elegance in human habitation. My mind ran back on some of the hovels I have seen in my life, of how I myself lived, and I stood amazed at the inequality of human fortune and destiny. To the other two most impressive places I have seen so far, namely St. Peter's at Rome and the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, I must add a third—the Kaiser's Palace. The ex-Kaiser's Palace, rather for the scenes of stately ceremony and pump that these walls once witnessed are no more), the emperors, kings, princes, peers and diplomats who once ate, drank and slept within them, or discussed weighty affairs of state, less than a decade ago, are now scattered like beads whose string has been broken, some of them reduced to the last level of poverty. Now they enter, if at all, as humble sightseers like Hans or Gretchen. The War Museum, which corresponds to the Invalides in Paris, contains the Hall of Rulers, the Hall of Generals, the Hall of Fame, the Museums of Artillery and Engineering, and a vast collection of weapons and armor. In the Kaiser Frederick Museum are Christmas "FOLKS talk much 'bout Christmas An' I wonder if they know what 'Cause strange as it may soun', frier Christmas ain't 'tall what it seems 'T ain't jus' meant for turkey an' he An' a whole lot o' other like noise But 'tis a time for real rejoicein' An' a time for sure 'nough joys.

STILL. calling Ethelbert a "htm" since his name is both "Tubbyish" and "Tommyish"). The business of life with this cat is to sit in front of the mail chute all day and snatch at the letters descending through the glass enclosure. "How silly"; "too foolish" were some of the comments made to which Ethelbert paid no attention. While his efforts so far have proven futile, it is very evident that this cat believes some day an unwary letter will be arrested by Illiterate Few and Far Between in Germany BERLIN. I heard the same thing said in London, Chicago, and Philadelphia, namely, that it covered more ground than any other city in the world. I have never looked up the figures. But I have an idea they're all wrong. I think it's Tokyo. Berlin has a population of 100,000 about one-sixth as Paris. Of this, 300,000 are Protestants, 400,000 are Catholics and 172,000 Jews, according to the Berlin Statistical Bureau. Inboult these latter figures, as the Germans are not a church going people; they are intellectual rather than religious, and the number of atheists is high. Next to Denmark, Germany has the lowest illiteracy rate in the world, being about one per cent or less. France has 0 per cent, Italy 30 and the United States 5. On Sunday morning all over Germany the young folk may be seen in great numbers going for hikes, knapsack on back, while the farmers are at work in the fields. Unlike France, however, most of the business places are closed. Berlin is remarkable for its monuments and public buildings. These, while lacking the grace of the French ones, compensate with their air of solidity and giant strength. At the east end of the Unter den Linden, on an island in the Spree, the river on which Berlin is built, is a group of these buildings and monuments, which presents a most impressive sight. Among them are Pergamon Museum, the National Gallery, the Old and the New Museums, the Cathedral, the National Monument to King William I, and the Kaiser's Palace. Nearby, across the river, are the New Library, Humboldt University, the War Museum, and the palace of the ex-Crown Prince, which is now used as an art gallery. The National Monument to King William I, facing the Kaiser's Palace, is perhaps the most striking thing of its kind I have ever seen. The king, holding a commander's baton in his right hand, is mounted on a powerful charger, led by Peace. Leading to the statue is a stone colonnade at the four corners of which are colossal figures of War and Peace. The statue faces the entrance to the Kaiser's Palace. This palace is a four-story structure of monumental severity so large that is almost capable of holding an army. It is 630 feet by 381, and has seven hundred apartments. At the entrance is a massive archway surmounted with a dome, on which there is a crown. There is a double courtyard. Entrance fee is two marks or 50 cents. Entering, you mount to the second floor by an inclined walk instead of steps, and feel that you Let Us Consider Ethelbert ETHELBERT is a plain coat cat owned by the county clerk here in the new court house. (I am Bu J. A. ROGERS - J. A. Rogers - the lower floor, and on the ground floor is another group of rooms containing an ensemble of rooms of the house of Parliament, a very massive and impressive structure in the style of the Italian Renaissance. It is furnished by a great glass dome, where are stripes of glided wood on the dome is a crane of bruns bearing a lantern, above it is an imperial crown. At the bottom of the building, which is square and built of lime and stone blocks, are four towers. The interior is even more intricate. In front of the Rebelship is the monument to Bismarck, the "Man of Blood and Iron" the real founder of the United Germany, Bismarck, it is said, had his plans for the invasion of France so thoroughly worked out that when he was awakened after midnight with the news that Napoleon III had declared war, he merely directed the messenger to a certain pigeonhole and turned over to sleep again. The colossal figure of the Iron Chancellor stands upon a granite pedestal surrounded by four groups: Siegfried, forging the imperial sword; Constitution and Authority trampling on Sedition; Statescraft seated on a sphinx; and Atlas bearing the globe. Directly facing this statue is the Column of Victory, rising several hundred feet, bright with its gilt, and bearing fluted ro's of captured French, Danish and Austrian guns near the top. Still further ahead facing this is the statue of General von Moltke, who carried out Bismarck's orders and inflicted such crushing defeat on the armies of Napoleon III in 1871. Not far from the Reichstag, running through the Tlergarten, is the famous Sieges-Alee or Avenue of Victory, with the statues of 32 Prussian monarchs, 16 on either side, a gift of the ex-Kaiser. A notable fact about these figures is that save one or two all are in a warlike pose. Germany leads the world in music, philosophy and perhaps in science, but it is easy to perceive, also from a view of her monuments alone, that her dominant thoughts are martial. Of this I shall have more to say. In the Tiergarten, which is a fine, well-floored and delightful park, are also monuments to Richard Wagner, Beethoven, Goethe, Mozart, Lossing, Haydn and the Roland Fountain. In the vicinity of the Tiergarten are Tiergarten street with the residences of the rich; Kurfürstendam, with its cabarets, the Montmartre of Berlin; Bluehue's Palace; the Zoological Garden and Aquarium; and the church where the ex-Kaiser worshipped. Other noteworthy places are the Museums of Ethnology and Industry, Parochial Church, with its wonderful chimes; the Stock Exchange; the Monument to Martin Luther; the Prussian House of Lords; and the Israel and the Wertheim Department Stores, almost as large as any in America, and more beautiful. The cast of Beautiful him. Just what Ethelbert is going to do with the letter he has not told anyone. I went down into the subway. There I saw people hurrying to catch trains; those on locals deserted them to board the faster carrier. Each and every one "snatching at time." From the bowels of the earth I came out into the street—a fashionable business artery of this city. I saw two women enter a beauty parlor. The first in her late forties, the other in her early twenties. One was going in to "reach out" for youth, while the other, possessing it, desired beauty. In the theatrical district, I beheld girls who wished to join the chorus, from which insignificant place they would aspire for fame, and further on a man came out of a florist's with a box of flowers, which were evidently intended as a gift to some women of whom he sought affection and love. This reminded me of the nervous couples I had witnessed in the City Hall who waited to be married—and attempt to secure happiness. In another building others attended the divorce courts, hoping to be awarded a decree so that they might "snatch" a little more freedom. Perhaps, after all, Ethelbert is not so foolish. Of him it can be said that the things he reaches mainly for are tangibly material, while those of his more intelligent superiors appear remotely illusive. GERALD HAMZTON. Books Make Ideal Christmas Presents AS THE season approaches and people are wont to exercise the God-like trait of giving gifts, perhaps a suggestion as to the selection of gifts will not be out of place. There is no more delightful or human Intellectual Rather Than Religious If some of the rates of wages used to me are correct, then I must see how the recipients call. A hay laborer in Berlin, I told, gets thirty marks a week seven and a half dollars. Out this he has to pay a direct tax one-third, in addition to those direct taxes paid by the citizens most countries. Each worker is low and low, has to pay that one-third, that is, if he receives say a week he has to pay $1 war. Women, without children, not work too, and men who do want their wives to work just pay a tax for them. In the markets and the stores even the poor neighborhoods I canned the prices and found tom so high that I almost picked myself in America. A all cup of coffee of about the age American quality costs 20 peng or 10 cents in the cheap places; a glass of beer of the cuper quality costs the same, wetter beer is twice that. At it lunch counters in the cheaper places a ham or sardine sandwich lives cents, that if, if one can call it a sandwich, because only one of a small roll is served with the meat exposed on top. An American will find living three times higher in Germany than in France. Nevertheless, the German cities have a prosperous air, particularly Berlin. Germany is easily the dainest and best kept land I have ever seen. Even in the smallest towns it was a rare thing to see a lot of litter on the streets. The road stations, particularly those in Leipzig and Cologne, are hailstone and artistic, with great crews eating and drinking in them. In Berlin the street cars, buses and subway have a much fine appearance than in New York. The seats on the subway car are of real leather and are comfortable. I will be clear, however, that much of the prosperity is only apparent, being due largely to pre-war construction. Talk with a German long enough and he will tell on this: That it is impossible to save anything because of the high taxes. When you tell him that the people everywhere seem well dressed he will reply that the majesty do so under a strain. "We have been taught to carry ourselves neat," one man said to me, "but it is easier to do so than to let ourselves shump." If one looks carefully, too, he will see pictures on the clothes of many he would least suspect of wearing them. The Negroes, too, unlike those of the other countries, keep up that respectable appearance, in spite of the fact that many of them are out of work. In my next article I will write further of the economic situation, and of Potsdam, former center of German militarism. generally acceptable gift, than a good book. In the first place it, is a compliment to the intelligence of him who receives it. In the second place, it is useful as well as ornamental. It is, in addition, a most felicitous fulfilment of good taste, because, while not in the category of life's bare necessities, neither is it an expensive luxury. A book might well be placed in that borderline between necessities and luxuries, where are found most of the things that go to make up beauty and the fulness of life. Negroes have a most happy opportunity in this respect. In presenting to their kith and kin books by Negro authors, they translate the Christmas ideal into one of its most glorious realizations. They not only give to the recipient a simple token of affection and esteem, but they widen the audience of Negro authors; intensify the pride of the race in the achievement of its genius, and, incidentally, broadcast a subtle inspiration to worthy endeavor.

ILLUSTRATED during the holiday season an old man and with the exception of a few related attractions to the decorations of the tables and home, there has been very little change in the method. No social function or good tests the capabilities of a hostess as does a dinner party. Through her efforts it may be a delightful success of she fails to recognize her responsibilities and as a result she gracefully may be the object of failures. The Christmas dinner is generally devoted to having one's family and friends together for the sake of hospitality and good fellowship, and to grant them the freedom of rehearsing to gather some of their old time experiences, as the old year It is to be regretful that, too often, people of moderate means are afraid to give Christmas dinners. True hospitality is not in inviting members of the family and intimate friends to a lavish display of flowers and jeweled dishes, with the object of astonishing them by such profusion. Life will be robbed of much of its good cheer if we hesitated to bring people together because we feel that we can be neither magnificent nor wonder-making hostesses. If the Christmas dinner is a formal one, the hostess usually makes a more careful survey of her plans to avoid criticism. She has to hear in mind that many of her invited guests may also be guests at another Christmas dinner, either on the same day or a short time before or after, and will be able to compare dinner parties. So her first consideration is her menu. Six to eight is a good time for serving the Christmas dinner, though some prefer a later hour. Dinner invitations are issued two weeks in advance, at the height of the season. After the dinner has been prepared, and before the guests arrive, the hostess considers the ventilation of the dining-room, sees that the appointments of the table are perfect. The comfort and bright spirits of her guests depend much upon her personal touch to this preparation. She places the dinner cards. These are in good taste when white designed in Christmas decoration, rather larger and heavier than a visiting card. A monogram may be on the card. The name of the guest is written legibly on the card. The placing of guests at a large dinner requires intimate Your Horoscope BY THEARCHER December 21 begins a birthyear that will be quite eventful for folks of today. There is a strong indication of travel, but I do not think that the travelers will gain as much as they expect. There are so many disturbing influences that will cause obstacles and delays. Those who follow professional pursuits are the most favored. All these people should guard the health and temper. December 22 is much like the birthdate of yesterday. These folks should be very careful around machinery and explosives. June will bring more favorable changes and give a much-needed breathing spell. Financial affairs will not be very satisfying. December 23 starts a birthyear that will keep the money going as fast as it comes and more besides. These folks who have a nest egg are fortunate indeed. These people will lose one one who is dear to them, or else a separation will become necessary, probably because of illness. Those who are employed should try to keep their jobs, as it will be quite difficult to get another. December 24 is a bit better than the last birthdate, but there will be some upsets and changes for these folks of today also. The early part of the year will bring in many adverse influences, and those wan can control their tempers and pocketbooks will be able to last out the storm. The middle of the year will bring in a better period. December 25 brings in a better birthyear in many respects. Financial affairs will be more within control, heart and home affairs will be more pleasant, and those who write or follow literary pursuits will experience much improvement. There will be a tendency to do more than the health can stand. December 26 favors those who are employed or in business. There will be unexpected upsets and losses that will cause serious changes in business or employment, unless very good judgment is used. The health will be a cause of concern to many of these folks. These folks who feel like talking their troubles to court will certainly lose more than they gain. December 27 will be a successful birthyear, but these people will make some unwise changes, especially in heart affairs. They should be very discreet and thoughtful with the opposite sex. The year to come will be full of upsets and changes for all the talks of this group, although not at the same time. Jupiter in the fourth house will bring disagreements with the marriage partner, and to many this aspect will show the loss of a beloved relative. The journeys that are taken during this aspect will be more loss than gain. Jupiter will favor all the people of this group about the end of the year and help to make concious easier to hear. It would be a very good plan for all of the talks in this group to save as much as they can. Those' who knowledge of society. Only by constant association can one know who may be congenial. There may be variety, but there must be harmony. It has been said by a well-known "diner-out" "If you are assigned to one to whom you are indifferent, your only hopes lies in your next neighbor." Yet one cannot keep up a conversation with a neighbor to the exclusion of the person assigned by a hostess. Even a hostess with genius can hardly supervise the conversation of a tableful, and uncongenial companions may be forced to sit through an hour or two of boredom without hope of rescue. It is, therefore, the duty of the hostess to know her guests and see to it that they are interesting to each other. It is out of fashion to overcrowd a dinner table, especially if a dinner is to be served in courses. Whatever is used, however, must be geometrically shaped, perfectly balanced. It is a stupid mistake for a hostess to permit a dinner to drag out for more than an hour and a half. It is extremely trying to be forced to remain longer at table, unless the conversation be most congesting. At formal dinners the guests are only introduced to their partners, the gentleman to the lady. When dinner is announced the host offers his right arm to the lady who is to sit at his right. She is usually the guest of honor. If cards or music do not follow, the guests are not expected to remain more than an hour after dinner. They may even make their aden earlier, if they have another engagement Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN Happy Christmas to You All! May the Christmas spirit embrace you and make you forget all your sorrows and troubles. Friends, don't forget that you may know someone who is far from home and would be happy to have a good, old-fashioned Christmas dinner at your home. Invite him or her to your house. Christmas is too precious a day for anyone to feel sad at that time. Let's try our best to make some lonely man, woman, girl or boy happy. Egyptsy Ann: I had been going with a girl for about two years, and during that time I treated her with respect. I took her out to dances, showed her a good time, that is, according to my means. I wrote a letter to her, stating that, on account of business—and it was really business—I could not take her to a particular dance. In this letter I asked her to get in touch with me, but I have still to hear from her. I have heard many a comment on fellows not treating a girl right, but it seems to me the better you treat them the less they appreciate it. From now on I am going to be hard-bolled. That is, all girls are going to be treated the same way by me, whether I believe them or not. ONE WHO KNOWS. Dear Friend: Of course, there is the possibility that she didn't get your letter. If she did get it, it was only courteous to answer. I think that there's some misunderstanding in the case, but not knowing her previous attitude toward you, it's hard to figure out the trouble. Why not write again or call around and explain things? If she cares for you, she'll overlook the matter. Now, I don't believe it pays to be hard-bolled. Anyway, you can't be hard-bolled with the person you love. Love is a mighty powerful thing, and you might just as well make up your mind to be yourself. It is a fact, though, that some people can't stand good treatment. It doesn't pay to allow people to make a fool of you. In this old world you've got to hold your own and do a lot of presentative. If you find that the girl no longer cares, just smile and remember that she's only one. There are thousands of others! would like to know when to export both good and adverse periods should send a stamped and self-address envelope to The author, care of The Amsterdam News. -- NEARBY NEWS BRIEFS -:- —— SICK MEN and WOMEN —— Are you satisfied to varry that LOAD OF SICKNESS, thereby letting the PRIZES OF LIFE go to those better equipped because of their SPLENDID HEALTH?

He will to consider a medium for educating the masses up to the various programs suggested. The results of many of these in- vestigations of conditions signify that the Negro's greatest needs are an awakening to the positi- ties for betterment in all phases of his life, and to an educational plan that must be carried out but before this end can be attained. Here the Negro press has a chance to make use of an opportunity to fulfill its obligations to the reading public by becoming a university of the common people. The newspaper is the only agency that appeals to both young and old, the learned and the unlearned; it is the only type of periodical that is not burdened by a claim from a special cause, or is unhampered by the exposition of facts and theories understandable to the elect only. Through it—the newspaper—alone can the people as a whole acquire an understanding of their civic rights and obligations; through it can be taught the art of having the niceties of life at no greater cost than the crudities; it can broadcast the ways to health, the virtues of clean living; through its columns can be awakened an appreciation of the arts and a knowledge of the advances of science. Through its columns, knowledge, with its train—health and wealth and happiness—may become the common property of all. To be of the greatest service, however, the newspaper must discard the old idea that its only duties are to mold public opinion and to chronicle the happenings of the times. It is true that its first duty is the honest and intelligent presentation of the news; after that, its possibilities are unlimited Never before has the Negro had more pressing problems that need solution. In his economic struggles he has never before been more conscious of an urge to cease happing and try his wings in full flight. The newspaper may serve here not alone as an educational agency, but also as an advertising and publicity.medium. Much credit is due the several Negro weeklies giving publicity to successful business enterprises and to new progressive ventures. There is much still to be done towards teaching prosperous Negroes to conserve their resources and to use them advantageously. The amount of good that may be done by newspapers to arouse the proper interest in civic betterment is unlimited. Improved living conditions; more satisfactory school facilities; increased zeal in the slaughter of the bug-bears of the American of color: prejudice and segregation—these may all be remedied through the airing of inequalities and urging the public to the use of the one cure-all of civic evils—the ballot. Much needs to be done in the matter of arousing the interest of Negro voters and teaching them how to use their vote to the best advantage.

Rental work in the various phases has in the past decade become an important part of community life. Humanity and its problems have become a recognized part of newspaper work.

In every walk of life the Negro is beginning to awaken. Whether in business, in politics, or whatnot, the questionings of the newly aroused Negro will not be hushed. What price loyalty to a government that does not enforce the rights guaranteed by its constitution? Why "taxation without representation"? Allegiance to what party will give the greatest returns in justice? How best can be thrown off the yoke of the intolerance of the employer towards the employee; the anxhobery of white labor towards black labor? The string of questions that needs answers has no end. Honest replies must be given—replies that are intelligent and far-ighted as well. Many agencies are doing their part in proposing solutions for these problems. Teachers, preachers, lecturers do their share, but they reach regularly only a small percentage of the Negroes in America. There are magazines that sponsor educational and uplift work of different kinds, and many books are written for such purposes. But these all have a limited circulation. From whom, then, shall help and advice came? Most people will neither go to church nor to the lecture hall; books they will not read, and in some instances cannot read. But everybody looks forward to reading the newspapers. Through the 200 or more Negro newspapers, with their constantly increasing circulation, must the Negro, as a whole, receive an unbiased knowledge of facts and events that concern him. Through their columns must be presented the best possible method of adjusting his grievances and righting his wrongs. Herein-for the newspapers—lies a great opportunity, a great responsibility.

F. THOMAS, Prop. Drug stores nowadays sell stationery, drills and brushes, coffee, coffee pots and strawberry preserves. Farm tractors are used in cities, while live stock farmers drive to, town in limestone to buy their steaks and roasts for the next day's dinner. Still another evidence of the way in which something designed for one purpose is now used for quite a different one is found in the case of the safety razor blade—latest thing in a stiff cutting tool for factories. Out at the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company in Chicago, it was decided to find a new way to cut rings or bushings out of hard rubber. These bushings are quite small, but since over 70,000,000 of them are required every year in the manufacture of telephone apparatus for the Bell System, their size is no indication of the importance of the job set before the engineers. Moreover, there were considerable difficulties to be overcome. Rubber bushings were already being made, but not by ideal methods. The fault lay mostly with the rubber itself, which has the aggravating faculty of quickly dulling all sorts of cutting tools. Then, too, the tools came in for their share of the blame, for, although they were able to cut bushings, they at the same time put a rough ridge or burr on them. It was also hard to keep the rings of uniform length. What sounded like the most fantastic of all the ideas brought forward by the various engineers proved in the end to be the most practical. The engineer whose idea it was, drought while shaving had difficulty in keeping his safety razor sald and was indebted to that daily flirting with a dangerous edge for his discovery of a new use for a razor blade. The essence of the idea was to heat the rubber to be cnt, put it in a machine of a kind that would revolve it at a high speed, and then to cut it with a safety razor blade. The idea did not sound entirely workable but it was at least worth a trial. So a machine was designed and the experiment tried. The finished product is now in the factory. It takes rubber tubing heated just short of the bending point, revolves it at a speed of 10,000 revolutions a minute, at the same time bringing down on the rubber a razor blade at the rate of 325 times a minute. And 325 times a minute a perfect brushing is sliced off. One of these razor blades cuts an amazing quantity of bushings with little evidence of wear and can be adjusted to approximately six different settings before it is completely worn out. Superior accuracy, greatly increased production and a better finished product in general have resulted from the addition of this novel machine to the telephone factory's ever-increasing family of highly productive special purpose machinery. os EDITORIAL PAGE + LETTERS + 4293 ARVENTH AVE, Talaphana Mosningeida yy01 +3703 se ane tng x Se, nce td Pop Read Naar aie amtay RES San Le tt ed Digi eaet so tatine Ga eer ne tingssag, Ome fuel RRR ep mt Wednesday, December a1, 1927 sold their hudies in te market.

Christmas --- 1927 NINETEEN fiundred and twenty- seven years ago there occurred the most wondrous event in history—a child was born in a manger in the village.of Bethlehem. On that day Christendom began, and from the lips of that child came an ideal which the world in nineteen centuries has failed to attain. Out of mankind's striving toward that ideal has risen the strongest institution in the world, the Church of Christ. BEFORE the coming of Christ the only religious ideal. was that of temporal power, of cruel and vindic- tive deities, of lords and slaves. Christ brought the idea of brotherly love and equality of souls; his was the first religion that preached ab= solute democracy, with all men standing equal in the sight of God. It was a new light in a darkened world, and man, with all his imper- fections on his head, his blindness and selfishness, began the long struggle to attain it. UP THROUGH the dusk of the dark ages he toiled, painfully raising him- self from the debris of fallen Rome; through the twilight of feudalism; into the splendors’ of the Renais- sance; beneath the thunders of the Reformation; through the bloody re- ligious wars and massacres of the Inquisition of Spain; through the ter- rible St. Bartholomew's Eve of France, the ravaging sectarian wars of the German states, the extermina- tion of the Scotch Covenanters. Stumbling, falling, rising, he fought his way toward the light. Still he is fighting and falling. Save for a little more civilization, a little more regard for the sanctity of human life. a little broader humanitarianism, he is almost as far irom the true light as he was nineteen centuries ago. THE FAULT is not in the ideal; it isin man himself. His, heart has not kept pace with his mind. He has founded great nations, he has tan: neled the hills and bridged the rivers, he has read the stars of the heavens and probed the bowels of the earth, he has turned mighty streams from their courses to suit his purpose, he has snatched the fire from the ether and made it serve him, he has plow- ed the sea with his ships and dived in them beneath the waves, he has mounted on wings in the face of the sun. All these wonders of the physi- cal world are his; yet in the world of the spirit he has not yet found the way to that brotherly love which was taught by the divine child of Bethle- hem. INSTEAD of serving Christ he has -tried to make Christ serve him, He “has schemed and Iusted and killed, all in the name of the Christ whose faith he was desecrating. Great “nations, piously bearing on their ‘banners the Cross of Him who said, “Even as ye do unto the least of ‘these, so do ye unto Me,” have de: ascetided upon innocent peoples, rob= sbed-thein of their lands and lives or Lives vs. Dollars A YEAR AGO the lives of fifty-six laborers were lost when the launch Linseed King was sunk in the Hud: son River. [1 was filled with men who were trying to make a fitile Christmas money for their families; many of them lived in Harlem. This week damage suits amounting to $3,395,000 against the Spencer Kel: logg & Sons Oil Company, who used the launch to ferry their men across the river, were begun by the families of the drowned men. IT IS TO BE HOPED that the fami- fies will recover the full damages, The company’s management of that launch amounted to criminal care: lessness, exposing men to death to save a few dollars. There may be arguments as to how much faborers should be paid; there can be no argue ment when it comes to protecting their lives. Afraid of Garvey THE STEAMER that carried Mas cus Garvey away from New Orlean stopped at Cristobal, Panama. Th THE STEAMER that carried Mar- cus Garvey away from New Orleans stopped at Cristobal, Panama. The entire Negro population of Panama, numbering 50,000, waited for him with cash and flowers, but the Canal Zone government would not allow them to see him. Only a siail com: mittee of six was permitted to greet him, GARYVEY is being treated like the man in the iron mask, the myste- rious prisoner of the Bastille. What- ever his faults or virtues, govern- ments certainly seem to be afraid of him. The officers of the ship that carried Napoleon to St. Helena could not have been more careful with him than the United States authorities are with Garvey. This one black man has succeeded in alarming the most powerful governments of the world.
