Sands, who is 29, and Dolan, who is 38, were arraigned on charges of extortion in Harlem Court Friday before Magistrate Smith, who held them in $1,000 each for a further hearing tomorrow. For the past six weeks, it is reported, these men have preyed upon Spaniards and Cubans on the East Side, extorting various sum of money from them on the threat of arrest for "playing the numbers." FWO John Caldwell Myers, a former Assistant District Attorney, is appearing as counsel for the ox-cops. Bond for their release was furnished by John Eschin, white, 513 East 241st street. Demanded $100 The patrolmen were arrested on the specific charge of extorting $25 from Hipolito Romano, a Spanish expressman, 211 East Ninety-ninth street, on the threat of sending him to fall for three months for the possession of policy slips. Marty Diaz, a Spanish dancer, told the story of the extortion to a reporter of The Amsterdam News and acted the role of interpreter for Romano, whose left hand incapacitates him by paralysis. Romano is a wilder, with a small child to care for since the recent death of his wife. Sands and Dolan first tried to intimidate him, Diaz said, "but I was too smart for them. They could not scare me, for I knew I had done nothing."

When Romano entered Dlaz said that Sanda and Dolan made their threats of arrest and demanded $100, or $50 each. They demanded that Romano draw money from the bank, Romano draw money from the bank, and no money. They took aboat from the house, Dlaz said, aboat 10.05 a.m. to the hallway of a restaurant at 1831 Third avenue, where they s-arched Romano's pockets and demanded to know if he were a "numbers" collector. Dolan Runs Away The bewildered Romano was then brought back to his home and was told to "get the money." He went to a friend, Joseph P. Tafurl, white, whose brother frank runs a restaurant on the ground floor at 211, and borrowed $25, which he paid over to Dolan and Sands, it is said. Romano was then taken to 105th street and Third avenue, where they were seen by Patrolman Collins of the East 104th street station. Collins' suspicions were aroused as he had seen the man take Romano into the hallway on Third avenue. As he approached the men Dolan broke into a run, but Sands was captured and arrested. Dolan was located the same afternoon and placed under arrest by Captain Hackett, assisted by Detective Lieutenant Nelson. In the lineup Dolan and Sands were identified positively, as the extorters. Captain Hackett Irate At tomorrow's hearing at least ten witnesses are expected to appear against the patrolmen. The games of these witnesses are being held for the present. The tyrannical, sometimes brutal, method in which Sands and Dolan are said to have preyed upon Negro, Cuban and Spanish people of the East Side may be disclosed at the hearing tomorrow. When interviewed by The Amstordam News reporter Captain Hackett was fright over the alleged conduct of Sands and Dolan, who came into his precinct to operate because they feared identification if they operated in Harlem. After denouncing the practice of extortion in the strongest possible terms, Captain Hackett said: "Any patrolman who preys upon poor people is not worthy of wearing the uniform! If they are guilty I mean to push this case to the fullest extent of the law." Patrolmen Brossert and Slater of te West 135th street station, both white, were recently suspended for latexication. it is reported.

The case rose as follows: A clerk in the City Hall Station marked a letter sent from the White House in Washington, and therefore under a frank and postage free, "four cents postage due." Walter W. Hutchinson, the postman, on delivering the letter insisted upon collecting the four cents before he would leave the letter. The addresses paid the four cents and complained to Washington. As a result, the clerk was penalized by reduction of $100 in salary and Mr. Hutchinson was transferred to an uptown station from City Hall and reduced in grade. The N. A. A. C. P. pointed out to the Postmaster that the punishment of Mr. Hutchinson seemed inequitable since he had merely obeyed Post Office rules in collecting the four cents on a letter marked by the clerk "postage due." Mr. Hutchinson has been restored to City Hall Station. ACCUSED OF BREAKING INTO 7TH AVE. APT. Accused of forcing his way into the apartment of Lawrence Dougherty, 2558 Seventh avenue, by way of the dumbwalter, Joseph Turner, 87, 249 West Fifty-ninth street, was arrested Saturday evening by Detectives Winterhalter and Boyden of the West 186th street station and charged with burglary. Turner is said to have stolen an expensive Waltham watch from Dougherty's apartment. When arraigned in Heights Court, Sunday, before Magistrate Ewald, Turner was held without bail for a further hearing today. "Lily Whites" Meet Defeat in Miss "Lily Whites" Meet Defeat in Miss Out-Maneuvered at Committee Meeting by Perry Howard 一 J9CKSON, Miss., Feb. 13.—"Lily-white" Republicans were outmaneuvered at the meeting of the Republican State Committee of Mississippi here on February 1. They came into the meeting with a set of demands regarding the procedure to be followed in the election of delegates to the state's legislative state and national convention. Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi and state chairman, who presided, without permitting the reading of these demands, referred them to a special committee. This committee reported that the demands of the "Lily-white" Republicans were preposterous. The avowed purpose of the "Ir-whites" is to gain control of the Republican organization in Mississippi and exclude Negroes from participation in the councils of the party. They have secured a charter from the state. They sought recognition in Washington, but were advised that the organization of which Mr. Howard is the head is the regular Republican party in Mississippi. The activities of the "Ily-white" Republicans have seemingly cemented all factions of the regular Republican party in Mississippi. skin at last!

When arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Gottlieb they were held in $1,000 ball for a further hearing today. Samuel Grant, 17, 216 East Nine- thought street, was held without hall for the Grand Jury and Daniel Norton, 18, 204 West Sixty-first street, was held in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury, both charged with grand larceny. According to Austin Waterman, 212 West Sixty-first street, the youths stole his Mogul taxicab from a garage at 231 West 142d street. The pair were arrested by Patrolman Lindsey of the 9-A Product when he saw them driving down the street with both of them on the front seat, contrary to regulations. Grant was held without ball because of two previous convictions.

Slayer of Friend Given 10 to 20 Yrs. Intoxicated at Time Crime Was Committed, He A prison sentence of from 10 to 20 years was imposed recently upon Jeremiah Thomas, 30, 1802 Crotona avenue, near Crotona Park, North, by Judge James M. Barrett in Bronx County Court. Thomas pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the killing of his friend, Charles Bruce, 24, 672 Crotona Park, South, on the evening of Sept. 2. James Sullivan, Thomas's attorney, ploaded with the court to take into consideration his client's good record and the fact that he was drunk at the time he shot Bruce in a quarrel over the latter's common-law wife, Charity Bradley. In ignoring Attorney Sullivan's eloquent plea for lenency Judge Barrett said, addressing the convicted man: "Our lives are not given to us to be taken even by ourselves, much less by somebody else. "You are here and your friend is dead. You have deprived him of enjoying the normal span of life that he might have lived were it not for your act. You owe a debt to society and that must he exact by depriving you of your liberty for a long time." MESSAGE TO MEN At the Crossroads of Life come to a doctor who KNOWS.

"The harbor at 2298 Seventh avenue, inhleded "Elke Stationery" a graphic title, was held up and robbed by whom the police believe were good customers who had lost money upstairs in a crap gadge and came down for a fresh supply. Neither the boss or the bartender would even take the trouble to walk up a flight of stairs to identify the "bandit." In a "souse house" at 2474 Seventh avenue, at about the same hour, 20 men, good fallows all, were standing at the bar enjoying themselves. A white "customer" who had been honoured out by "Nick, the bartender," a few nights previously, came in with gun in hand. At the sound of the first shot exactly 20 men cleared the place at the same instant, very much like a trick movie. At the sound of the second shot there was no one to shoot at and the bullet ploughed its way through the plate-glass window. It is reported that only two shots were fired, so those same two bullets must have shot holes through not only the plate-glass window, but through two glass doors and an inside closet by the old-fashioned clock. Cross-examination was useless, in trying to pry out either the name of the "customer" or the last name of "Nick, the honour." Detective Bransfield of the West 133th street station investigated each once. About 10:30 Saturday night Patrolman Merkle raided the apartment of James Stewart, 26, 442 St. Nicholas avenue, apartment 3, and confiscated what is alleged to be one 5-gallon jug of whiskey in the rear room where a 10-gallon still is said to have been in operation. Stewart was arrested and held in $500 bail on a charge of violating the Volstead Act. "Colored" for Rent Sign Taken Down Up to about two weeks ago a sain sign reading "For Rent to Colored People Only" remained for six months on a three-story brick building at 1103 Boston road, near 166th street, Dr. Thomas J. Barry, white, owner of the property and who operates a private hospital adjoining the property, changed the sign to read "House to Let." Although Dr. Barry has refused to talk about the matter, it is reported that the change of signs came about following a disagreement with John Kuhon, white, a neighbor, whose property is said to have suffered a landslide because of a caved-in wall on Dr. Barry's property. A second reason advanced for the change in signs is that the physician despaired of securing a Negro tenant. MAN ARRESTED AS FATHER OF CHILD John Davidson, 23, 213 James Place, Inwood, L.

Counts, 990 Trinity avenue, who is not his wife and who lives in the maternity ward at Lincoln Hospital. Davidson was taken to the Bronx County Jail. 图 Said WHY BUY expensive crutches when you can rent them very reasonably from us. Inovalde's Wheel Chairs Also for Rent F. L.

Elliott was cornered on the third floor and shot it out with a squad of policemen who attempted to arrest him, killing Lieutenant Edward Murphy and Sergeant Eugene Keagan before he himself was slain. Earlier in the day Elliott, a former employee of the packing company, went to the gates of the plant as workers reported and shot and killed James Elliss, who had quarreled with Elliott, which led to his discharge by the company. One of Elliott's bullets struck and wounded a white employee and another killed another white worker. Murphy and Keogan met Elliott on the second landing of the apartment building. Elliott killed Keogan with the first shot and wounded Murphy. Murphy, however, shot and killed the man as he lay wounded, but died a few minutes later.

With the profound sincerity which signalizes all his utterances, he kept his cosmopolitan gathering at his command, while he discussed "The Negroism Significance to American Religion." America's growing imperialism was consumed; Protestantism was called to account; white Christianity was reminded of its fallacies. "The reality of God," he said, "will come with the practice of the brotherhood of man in the face of obstacles." The questions submitted to the speaker by the large audience referred to everything, from intermarriage to the reality of God. Dr. Johnson answered every question with the greatest of ease and thoroughness, and even those questions which were intended to embarrass him were dismissed without effort, in answer to one question, he said, "No country has a right to ask a man to die for an (social) order which his children cannot enjoy."

The gypsies were arrested on Feb. 4 by Patrolman Roberts of the 6th Division, who went to them to have his fortune told. The gypsies apparently could not resist the old story about "beware of a dark woman," Mrs. Bishlalld took $1 from Roberts and turned him over to Miss Leo, who took $5 more and told him to bring $10 wrapped in a hen egg upon his next visit.

Changes Suggested In Dwellings Bill Changes Suggested In Dwellings Bill Supporters to Hold Mass Meeting at John Golden Theatre Persons who are vitally interested in improvement of the conditions in which they are dwelling will and much to absorb their attention in the New Dwellings Bill submitted in the State Legislature for possible action on Monday. The bill is based on standards for the protection of health and the well-being of thousands of citizens now occupying "old law tenements." It includes the upholishment of slums, improved fire protection in "converted houses," restriction on "cellar occupancy," insures better light and air conditions in new houses by requiring wider courts and deeper yards, and empowers the Tenement House Department to require repairing and repointing of walks when necessary. The new bill, should it become a law, will be applicable to all dwellings, including hotels and all one and two-family dwellings. Many citizens who are desirous of homes with more sun, more air and better sanitary facilities, and would like to see passage of the bill, have been writing to their state senators and assemblymen or to the leaders of the Legislature. The New York Urban League and allied organizations, who have lent much local zest to the campaign on this vital question, have combined in a mass meeting, announced to be held at the John Golden Theatre, 202 West Fifty-eighth street, Sunday, Feb. 19, at 8 o'clock, at which time the foremost exponents of the proposed bill will air their respective views. Among the speakers are: Lawson Purdy, secretary of the commission for examination and revision of the Tenement House Law: Harvey W. Corbett, Dr. Louis L. Harris and others. HARD TO GET?

Promises to Provide For Wife and Babies Prince Ford, 23, 234 West 122d street, who is said to have abandoned his wife, Maud, and their two small children, almost a year ago, promised Judge Barrett in Bronx County Court, Friday, that from then on he would faithfully provide for his wife and children. Only the plan of Ford's wife to Assistant District Attorney Julia Alice Galney saved Ford from spending from one to two years in Sing Sing. The deserting husband seemed about to collapse in fear of the prison sentence. After hearing Ford's promise to reform, the judge said he didn't believe a word of it, and told Mrs. Ford that the stay of execution of sentence would continue only as long as Ford took care of his family. With apologetic and humble men, Ford thanked the judge for emency and bowed his way out of the courtroom. During her husband's absence Mrs. Ford has been living at C65 Prospect avenue. Washingtonian's Will Set Aside by Jury WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.—The will of the late Mrs. Mary A. Parker was set aside by a jury in Circuit Court No. 1 Tuesday afternoon. The jury returned a verdict declaring that Mrs. Parker was mentally incapable of making a valid will at the time the instrument was executed.

Under the verdict of the jury, Mrs. Bessie Walton Simpson, a niece, and Margaret Ellen Byrd, a first cousin, are entitled to share in the estate of Mrs. Parker.

New Yorkers Get Harmon Awards as Fitting Event on Lincoln's Birthday New Yorkers Get Harmon Awards as Fitting Event on Lincoln's Birthday Two New York Composers—Still and Margetson—Receive Musical Prizes—Dr. Charles MacFarland Makes Principal Address As a fitting celebration for the birthday of Lincoln the Emancipator, the Harmon Awards for distinguished achievement among Negroes were presented to two New Yorkers in the persons of William Grant Still and Edward II, Margetson, who received second awards in music on Sunday afternoon at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th street, before a mixed audience of about 500 representative people. The musicians received an award of $100 each and a bronze medal, presented by Richard C. Patterson, Commissioner of Correction, representing Mayor Walker. Dr. Charles MacFarland, white, general secretary of the Federal Council of Churches, made the principal address. He said that Negro advancement would not come through social equality, however important that might be, but through advancement in culture and the devotion of the culture to human service. Commissioner Patterson congratulated the winners and commended the race upon its splendid achievements. Eric Waldron, who won the second award in literature, was not present to receive the award, as he was in Chicago. Eight other meetings were held simultaneously throughout the country, in which a total of $4,000 accompanied by cold and bronze medals was awarded in recognition of creative work by Negroes by the Hikman Foundation, 140 Nassau street. Sixteen men and women received first and second awards and others honorable mention for achievement in fine arts, business including industry, education, science including invention and religious service. At Sunday meeting here the Rev. F. A. Culien, pastor of Salem M. E. Church, presided. Other highlights in the speech of Dr. MacFarland were as follows: "America must first adjust human relations in America. Unfouled doubt will be the ideal to which they are committed unless they apply them to every human being who toils without regard to race or nationality. "I have known men and women who allowed their culture to isolate them—and those people were not white, either. The Negro will not make his greatest achievement by forming political blocks, but by demonstrating his capacity for the highest culture and his willingness for the greatest service." Matthew Henson Talks Over Radio "Matt" Henson, the explorer, will make his debut on the air over Station W, A. B. C. of the Atlantic broadcasting Company, Stainow Hall, 113 West Fifty-seventh street, New York, tomorrow night, from 10:30 to 11:30 p.m. This hour, which is sponsored by the publishers of "Who's Who in Colored America," will be devoted to Negro achievement by reason of Matthew Henson's presence at the North Pole in company with Robert Peary on April 6, 1903. The only other living person, with the exception of a party of Esquimaux to stand by Peary's side, was Matthew Alexander Henson, who had been his trail breaker and companion for years. Mr. Henson was born in Charles County, Maryland, three years after the Emancipation. While very young he began a life of adventure as a cabin boy on the sailing vessel "Katie ifnes," which made Eastern ports her destination.

Ass'n Warns Against Measles Pamphlets Now Distributed to Children in City Schools Thousands of pamphlets on measles are being distributed to all the public schools in Harlem by the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee in co-operation with the Health Education Service, New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. The pamphlets will be given to all pupils to take home to their parents, as part of the campaign to prevent measles, if possible, and to give helpful instruction to mothers and fathers on how to care for their children if they do contract the disease. Every other year there is an epidemic of measles in New York City. This is an epidemic year. The New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, in co-operation with the Department of Education, the Department of Health, the Brooklyn Tuberculosis and Health Committee, is conducting a city-wide campaign against measles in an effort to save unnecessary suffering among children. "Measles in itself is not often serious or fatal, but serious complications may arise," said Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary of the Harlem Committee. "These are sometimes so serious they prove fatal. We are carrying on this health education campaign to instruct parents in the need for proper care of measles patients. A doctor should be consulted as soon as the child shows symptoms of the disease and his instructions should be carefully followed. Pneumonia, ear troubles, weak eyes and other complications are apt to develop if the patients do not have good care." In addition to the health literature which is being distributed MR. WILLIAM EDWARDS of 127th Street THREE through the schools, health talks before various groups are being arranged by the Department of Health. Lectures are being broadcast from many radio stations under the auspices of the Health Education Service, New York 'Tuberculosis and Health Association. "Our information service here at the committee's offices, 202 West 136th street, will be glad to help any persons of the community who have questions on messles," Mrs. Keaton said. "We have health literature which we are glad to give to anyone who may want it." A Wife Supporter Walter Allen, 18, a cheese slicer by profession, of 117 Grand street, Hoboken, was put on probation by Recorder Adolcar Carsten in Hoboken police court, Thursday, after a hearing on charges of non-support preferred by his wife, Louise, 16 years old. "I support my wife," Allen pleaded to Recorder Carsten. "I give her a place to sleep and feed her. I even buy the food. She don't know what to buy." It was revealed that Allen gave his wife $3 a week—some weeks. Of this sum, $1 was for his laundry, $1 to have his suits pressed, and the third $1 for herself. Of the $1 he gave her for spending money, she was supposed to keep 75 cents on tap, that he might borrow it if he needed it. This gave the wife a total of 25 cents a week spending money.

The action was started by Atty. R. 135th street, in behalf of his client, Mrs Seventh avenue, who seeks to place respo of her daughter upon three members of Bellevue. Mystery that enshrouded the death of Dorothy Smith, 15, who succumbed under an operation for tonsilitis at Bellevue Hospital July 0, 1927, was clarified in a suit for $25,000 filed Monday in the Supreme Court, in which it is alleged that death was caused by "other poison." The action was started by Atty. R. C. Warrick, 200 West 135th street, in behalf of his client, Mrs. Martha Smith, 2254 Seventh avenue, who seeks to place responsibility for the death of her daughter upon three members of the surgical staff of Bellevue. Those accused are: V. Brown, operating surgeon; his assistant, Dr. Foulkes, and V. H. Moyle, the anesthetist. "Douglass Founder of Republican Party" Both the plaintiff and her counsel admitted that they had been unable to determine which of the various surgeons at Believev Hospital performed the fatal operation; but Mrs. Smith disclosed in a later interview that on the morning after the incident she and others of the family appeared at Believev, and were told by the nurse on duty in the waiting room to "consult Dr. James since he is the one who handled the case, and will therefore be in a position to give you all details." Mrs. Smith further claims to have consulted this individual, and to have been told by him, "I am very sorry." "This is one of the few cases I have lost in several years of practice," he is alleged to have said. Chart Refutes Statement Attorney Warrick, however, has in his possession a copy of Official Chart Number 15266, relating to the case, and which bears in its post-mortem diagnosis the phrase "earer poison." This would seemingly imply that the child had died from the effects of an overdose of ether. Effort by the reporter to get the other side of the story, was met with the cold rebuke, "The doctors are too busy to be seen." Pathetically gripping is the story of the anguished mother, given in an exclusive interview to The Amsterdam News. Mrs. Smith said that when she called at the hospital the morning her daughter died a nurse told her "It's a shame, Mrs. Smith, that they killed your child, but I know that they did not do it intentionally."

Home Office --- expressed as the result of Tennessee backsliding last year into the list of lynching states. The need of effective anti-lynching legislation was pointed out and the Executive Committee was introduced to take steps to that end. Among the measures suggested were the suspension of sheriffs in whose jurisdiction lynchings occur, and the assessment of heavy damages against the counties involved in favor of the families of mob victims. Attention was called to discrimination against Nogrosin in public buses in certain parts of the state, and a committee composed of Dr. W, D. Weatherford, Mrs. Charles S. Kincaid and Dr. V. R. Roman also took the officials of the bus companies, and if necessary, the Public Service Commission, with a view to a correction of this condition. It was pointed out that, the state provides no facilities for the training of doctors and nurses, and a committee was appointed to bring this need to the attention of the State Board of Health. On this committee the chairman named Dr. J. E. Clark, President W. J. Hale of the State A. and I. College, and Bishop I. B. Scott. The following officers were elected: Chairman, W. D. Weatherford; Secretary, Dr. J. A. Leaster; chairman of colored division, W. J. Hale, treasurer, J. C. Napier; executive committee: Judge John H. DoWitt Mra. Neal Spahr, Dr. Edwin Mmw W. J. Hale, J.

HOUSE INTELLECTUALS Directory of Tenant-Owners Reads Like Blue Book of Accomplished Persons Directory of Tenant-Owners Reads Like Blue Book of Accomplished Persons Reported That Twenty White Families Applied for Rooms, but Were Refused—Lease Designed to Keep Out Undesirables By L. BAYNARD WHITNEY What is believed to be the intellect, both of local and nation- single aristocratic colony, know- ar Garden Apartments, Inc., ex- venues, between 149th and 158th reads like a Blue Book of nents. This exclusive colony is a of the 512 apartments in the si- have been leased for purchase families are residing in this min- ill located on the premises, will enants. What is believed to be the greatest aggregation of Negro intellect, both of local and national repute, is now housed in one single aristocratic colony, known as the Paul Lawrence Dunar Garden Apartments, Inc., extending from Seventh to Eighth venues, between 149th and 150th streets. A list of the ten tenants like a Blue Book of Negroes of worth-while attainments. This exclusive colony is a small city of 2,500 people. Out of the 512 apartments in the six buildings, all but 40 of these have been leased for purchase. This means that over 450 families are residing in this miniature paradise. Eleven stores, all located on the premises, will supply the varied needs of the tenants. The apartments were built by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at a total cost of $3,000,000. According to I. Andrew J. Thomas, 2 West forty-second street, the architect he designed the project, the garden work and shrubbery alone cost $5,000. There are 2,000 rooms and 90 baths in this small Atramericanity of apartments, divided into two to seven rooms each. The x and seven room apartments are two baths. The stippled walls are done in ivory, buff and mauve, while the arrangements of the rooms fond themselves ideally to the most artistic arrangement of furnishings. 20 White Families Apply At least twenty white families are applied for apartments in the unbar Gardens, it is said, and required with very evident reluctance a information that they are reserved for Negroes exclusively. This incident approaches the race question from quite a different angle. Every precaution has been employed to insure an exclusive tenure. Occupancy is granted by gowned application only, in which applicant is required to give such personal information about myself or herself for the mutual merit of the lessee and the lesr. The lease and subscription agreement calls for the closest possible cooperation between lessee and lessr for the best interests of the merer, although the lessr waives all immunity from all liability of image of every nature and assumes responsibility only for those physical or other benefits which are explicitly promised to the tenant's contract. The lessee's occupancy is strictly limited to the purpose of private residence. The house rules, at first ading, may seem rather strict, but little reflection will show that they are designed to protect not only the best interest of every tenant, but to keep the property in its class condition as well. Doctors James T. W. Granady and Peter M. Murray have located in the premises and Doctors C. S. Id L. H. Paltrichough have set up parlor palts. A Madane C. J. Walker beauty company store No. 1, corner 149th street and Seventh avenue, while Mr. Harry Woodward will engage in a grocery and mart business in store No. 2, 258th avenue. Robert Pace will conduct a grocery in store No. 10, 104th avenue. Store No. 2 will be called the theory Store, Inc. being sponsored many of the tenants. It is incorporated under the laws of this date at $10,000. It is the plan of the company to make every tenant an interested constituent of its business. On next Saturday Mr. Herman mars will open his modern bakery at Eighth avenue and 1500 street. Patrons will enter a snow white store and purchase their read, pastries and cakes from un- formed attendants. Passing through Sick Men and Women Don't wait until your condition becomes chronic.

On the corner of 150th street and Eighth avenue, the bank, as yet unnamed, is located. The interior appears as a miniature reproduction of one of the finest bank interiors in the downtown money district. Going below to the basement, a great iron door and fence bars the way to the impregnable vault, which has a door weighing a ton or more. This vault was constructed by the Moler Safe Co. for the Empire Mortgage Company, representatives of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The entire colony is surrounded by trees and shrubbery. The six-story buildings are built around a lovely garden with cement and flagstone walks. A playground exclusively for the residents' children is located in the center, with May pole, swings, sandpit, slides, see-saws, gymnasium apparatus and a fully equipped playroom. Christmas trees stand on either side of the playground and will be trimmed and lighted for the youngsters' delight at Christmas. At night the entire garden is lighted by wrought-iron lanterns with frosted glass. Roscoe C. Bruce is the resident manager; Clara Burrill Bruce, assistant resident manager; Fred D.

Notes The committee of management of the West 137th street branch of the W. Y. W. C. A. entertained the Interdenominational Ministerial Conference at luncheon on Monday, February 6, at 1.30 p. m., in the blue dining room. The Rev. Mr. A. C. Garner, pastor of the Grace Congregational Church and chairman of the conference, presided, introducing first Mrs. William H. Worthham, chairman of the committee of management of the branch. Mrs. Worthham said in part that the Young Woman's Christian Association considered the church the organized head of the Christian religion and itself as one of the necessary agencies through which the principles of Christianity might be carried out, she closed her talk with a plea for the sympathy and cooperation of the church. Mrs. Wortham's remarks were responded to by three members of the conference: the Rev. J. W. Brown of the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, who spoke of the dangers to girls found in large cities and the need for such organizations as the Y. W. C. A.; the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden of the First Emmanuel Church, and the Rev. J. G. Ryder of the United Episcopal Church. Certain phases of the work of the then were presented by Mrs. C. Cubanis Saunders, general secretary. Mrs. Saunders talked about the program of the branch from the standpoints of the two kinds of service it gives—the services for which it charges and which, therefore, may be termed income producing; and the services for which there are no charges, making them non-income producing. She told of 593 people referred to investigated rooms last year, and called attention to the considerable effort and expense required for the investigation of rooms in New York where people move so frequently. She told of 169 special cases handled—mental cases, cases resulting from unemployment, runaway girls, etc.; of the temporary shelter given to several girls and women; of club and recreation facilities given to more than 400 girls under 18 and to many older women. She mentioned the privilege of a warm, attractive lobby which this community enjoys. All of these things, Mrs. Saunders explained, were non-income producing and made possible only by the money raised in the campaign each year. Mrs. Saunders next raised the question of whether it would be wiser to raise fees in income-producing industries or in education, employment, Emma Rangan IN ROCHESTER THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE Mrs. A. W. Hunton The Council of Church Women (white) of Rochester, N. Y., had Mrs. Addle W. Hunton, 103 West 141st street, as its speaker at the Interracial Sunday service on Feb. 12. A choir of 100 voices from the Mt. Olivet Church sang Spirituals at the same exercise. While in Rochester, Mrs. Hunton was the house guest of Mrs. Gannett, white, widow of one of the most prominent Unitarian ministers of America. House, education, etc., so that the deficit caused by other types of social service might be covered, mak- FIVE ting the branch entirely self-supporting and a campaign unnecessary She then threw out the counter question as to whether it would be wise for such an organization—conducted by humans who at best must be frail and faulty—to be entirely independent of the community in which it functions for its support. She asked if it were not true, perhaps, that a financial campaign, burdensome as it seemed, was a big force for creating a bond of sympathy and interest between the community and the organization. Did not a community contributing to a social agency feel this agency its own in a much more vital sense?

Questions and Answers Dear Miss Sharpe: What can I and to erad dressing to get away from the plain French and mayonnaise dressings? MRS. C. H. Save little-bits of leftover pickles, mix Roxorofort cheese with either French or mayonnaise. This gives a delightful change. Dear Miss Sharpe: My baked potatoes are usually so rough and dry-looking. Will you help me to make them attractive? MRS. B. J. Grease potatoes with a little butter before baking them and when done they will have an attractive, glossy appearance. Address all communications for this department to Lillian E. Sharpe, care of The Amsterdam News. Cooking Hints Making mayonnaise: The white of the egg added to the mayonnaise on the verge of curdling will often prevent this. To vary French dressing: Add a little pickle or chow-chow to the French dressing for a change. For a garnish: Very thin slices of lemon cut in half and covered with finely minced parsley and paprika, make an attractive garnish for fish. To remove the odor from tainted meat, teaspoonful of soda in the pot where meat is boiling, or meat washed with soda water, destroys the taint. Helen Baton and Miss Bessie Smith.

All food spilled should be immediately wiped up. No spilled food should be allowed to remain in the refrigerator. About once a week everything should be taken out and the entire place wiped and cleaned. Hot water and soap or soda should be used. The drain pipes should be removed, scrubbed and scalded. Cleaning Cellars Remedy for damp cellars is to take old preserve cans and put in them calcium chloride, one pound. This attracts water, which collects in the can and then can be removed, aiding in keeping the cellar dry. To exterminate vermin in cellars, unstaked lime should be put about in corners and crevices of the cellar. Later, the lime can be brushed out.

Make a strong bulging water and add enough water to give the desired shade. Fine thin materials do not need as dark a bulding as coarse materials. Rinse each article thoroughly. Starching: To make starch put from 1 to 4 tablespoons starch in a saucepan, and add 1 cup of cold water and stir until smooth; add ½ teaspoon fat, ½ teaspoon borax and 1 quart of boiling water. Boll until clear. Put clothes in wrong side out, wring out as much as possible and then pat to make the starch ponetrate the fiber. Starch first the clothes you want stiffest. Drying: All white clothes should be hung in the sun. Do not hang clothes in a high wind. Spruiking: Clothes are sprinkled to make them iron easier. Spread clothes on a table and sprinkle them gently. Linen articles require more water. Linen should tightly and allow to stand for a few hours so that the moisture will spread through the materials.

Y BestAmusementPages in Greater New York S. Tutt Whitney Answers "The Negro Actor's Deficit," by Theophilus Lewis Former Producer of Many Successful Musical Comedy Shows Takes Up Cudgels in Behalf of the Profession ACTORS IN THE ROLE OF GOATS The Performer Often but a Pawn in the Hands of Those Responsible for Producing What He Has to Offer, Is Opinion of Writer. By Salem Tutt Whitney THEOPHILUS LEWIS, gifted serjee and critic, has written an article, published in the Opportunity Magazine and reprinted in The Amsterdam News, entitled "The Xero Actor's Delight." The birth of the theatre, its evolution and development are interestingly described. Any actor's time will be profifically employed by a personal, but we warn you afteetime that it is not written in the average actor's lingo, patois or vernacular. A career profit than any other show ever produced for the edification of Aframenians. And if there be any of the "bet or chass" who have not seen this show it is because they have not had the time or the money or do not attend theatres. We were standing one night in the cour of the auditorium of the Lafayette Theatre watching a particularly salutee show, when a well-known society woman addressed us. She weaved her enveloped fingers towards the stage and Our friend Romeo L. Dougherty says that Mr. Lewis "has shown a keen knowledge of a condition that only the 'hamas' of the game will try to dem." At the risk of being labeled after Armour's delicious product, we are bound to take issue with some of the hamas of the game, the first time we have been compared with that tasty and energizing half of the popular sandwich. Some of the things Mr. Lewis writes about are beautiful in theory, but are not as beautiful in practice. That he has made the common error of passing judgment upon the whle theatrical game after observing prevailing conditions in Harlem. It is not the universe, New York City is seldom the criterion for anything. We have traveled and played in Negro theatres from New York City to Boley, Ohio, Houston, Texas, Gonzales, Fla., Spartanburg, North Carolina, N. C. Hampkins, Vt. and back again. We have at least a passing acquaintance with nearly all Negro actors, except the two most famous business dealings with nearly all the managers of Negro剧院 except those whose theatrues are off the map. This is our excuse for appointing our own director, and for other actors who are qualified to speak but they are not foolish enough to rush to war with them. There are but a few theatrues though, reading "The Negro Actor's Defect" could not be printable. The mutual cult of being abundantly lacking in initiative, prodigally wasteful of time and talent, immeasurably distant from perfection, somewhat alienated from the audience concerned about patrolism, but we are as eloquently able to cast our talk upon the desert air as Mr. Lewis or any other flat-faced, long-haired We are forced to make a prolonged and vehement protest when Mr. Lewis lays the blame for the degeneracy of the actors of the actors. Neither is the majority of the actors composed of murious inbeciles, wit-wits and jackasses, Mr. Lewis familiar with some phases of his subject, or he is holding the spotlight, but is soliciting applause from the "better class" to which he refers so fondly. To say that the actors are to blame for the degeneracy of our stage, or to assume that they can control the situation, is crediting them with too much power. We declare that our cooks, waiting matrons, washer-women and chorus girls are responsible for the popularity of the "Blues" and the consequent decline of As we see it from years of observation and varied and painful experiences, the actors is a maritime, dancing or performing producer, promoters and public pull the strings. Only a small minority of actors do the same. Dempsey-branded in the heart of every actor worthy of the name is the insatiable desire to do something worth while. Vivian, the actress, is an asthetic dramatic role or interpretative dance. But where will he end up in market for his wares? Where the people come from in incidental numbers, and is it profitable to managers and actors? Were not the Lafayette actors a part of the artistically interpret some of the best dramas from the pens of the greatest playwrights? Here, then, was the opus demonstrated that it really appreciated a high class of entertainment. But the "better class" ran to true form. It had to climb to the "jin-crow" balleens and galleries to see the white actors perform. Our "better class" has never supported anything but its smudery and Who are the men who have contributed most to the Afroamerican theatre? Billy King and Tutt. Whitney and Tutt. Billy King and Irish C. Miller have produced more shows than all others combined. Bobby Russell wrote and presented more than a humourous play. He was a clean, wholesome, classy entertainer. He lived and played true to his planks yet he died in poverty and was a great poet of our have confined our activities almost exclusively to the Negro theatres. Who will deny that the Black actors were not true empathies, were not financially successful because the better class' failed to support them. Billy King knighted at a 'better class' joke, and not at a 'higher class' joke, to hear 'Sir Brenda' tell his amusing jokes and condemn him afterwards. "I'll give them what they are really looking for," said Billy. He did, and made more successful execution of Irvin C. Miller. Iveta C. Miller is an satute showman, author, on the pulpit, and presiding officer in the pulpitaliment it desires. He is an familiar with the illidiosperms of the proterozoic and metazoan protostomes, the pretenses of the "better choice" the intelligentkenin, the "cockle" condoned by for its financing display by its pulchric hutch, has netted a EIGHT "higher profit than any other show ever produced for the civilization of Adriamoreans. And If there be any of the "better or class" who have not seen this show it is because they have not had the time or the money or do not attend the剧院. We were standing one night in the room of the auditorium of the Lafayette Phi Beta Society, since, when a well-known society woman addressed us, she waved her twined fingers towards the stage and smiled of entertainment the people desire, I saw everyone of the wonderful shows on and your brother presented, yet this show makes me a promoter more than a salesman, a judge, a lady inside your ideas, stop trying to imply and educate people who do not desire to be lifted or educated, but want and make some money." Pamela fr. Dougherty is the only dramatic critic who knows what it is all about; who has constantly, consistently, been the clean, artistic form of entertainment—criticising, praising or condemning, redressibility to persons or show, fearful public favor towards the money as truly is the compass needle points toward the North Star. Because of Rome's sinister approach toward the artistic form of entertainment, it pains us to take issue with its sediture rite, Mr. Lewis. His anger toward the Nero artist was the artist he should be, he would not complain of being dominated by his audience. Instead, he would massacre his audience and make it a pro-public form of entertainment. When, allow me to ask, did the actor ever force the public to accept any form of entertainment it did not desire? If it is possible, kindly give us the form. Few actors are playwrights. Many of the best actors, white and colored, are near literates. They are dependent upon the promoter, producer and manager for the opportunity to present his play. Let the playwright be the promoter, the playwright is dependent upon the promoter, producer and manager for the opportunity to present his play. Let the playwright be the promoter, the playwright is dependent upon the promoter and then how quickly the actor will lend himself to the experiment. Lewis continues, "Drama and vaudeville, the comparison equates the Negro actor's deficit. We think of the French theatre in terms of its Tallahas, Conquetes, Bernhardts and Quillen in terms of its Burleses, Trings, Garricks, Siddonses, Bracefriedes and Ellen Terry. We think of the Americas, Hackettas, Fiskes and Harryrens. We think of the Negro theatre in terms of John Hughkins, Billy Mills, Hamnett Harrington and Mills and Lyley." One is heil, it is ill, and untimely. Negro theatres are scarcely twenty-five years old, they have not passed away to produce the above-mentioned white artists. The Negro actor has for years been employed as an interpolator, programmer, and theatrist. He has always required or allowed to do only the things with which we are so familiar, Jordan and Tyler, high-class musicians and monkey-shirts and add a few bureaus lance steps to their act in order to put up. Hundreds of others have had last summer we took four shows downtown for a reading. What did the managers say? "Well-written, first-class books, but too high-class for colorists. We would not risk producing them." The French, English and American actors who Mr. Lewis mentioned were made on 25, 35 and 50-cent admissions. "But what about our Cloughs, Ivrys, Desmond and Blahons?" asks Mr. Lewis. "In whole kit and caboché of them were worth the grave dust of Joseph Jefferson they wouldn't have to hang around Broadway stage doors crying for draughts." If it is true that they are hanging around for $35 handouts, as Mr. Lewis so successfully says, it is because our students admire him and some of them admire him more than admission to see them in their theaters. Is there any disgrace in crying for an opportunity to do something that will be more humiliating than have found it humiliating, profitable that it will double take Mr. Lewis a long time to be re-guized in their financial equal. The fact that he is cognoscentious it would seem that Mr. Lewis is still suffering from an inferiority complex. Like our "better class" he is constrained to withdraw his C.K. until the white boys are out. Johnny Hudgins, Billy Mills, Huntley Harrington and Miller and Lyles are representing our Negro theaters. They lend their support. Miller and Lyles are but only Billy Mills to be familiar with Negro theaters outside of Harlem. The others have spent most of their time in white vaudeville, with the occasional show showing over white "time." If he had mentioned Marris Smith, Beasle Smith, Sarah Martin, Ma Rainey, Gutter Beans and Suele Ethel Waters, Beans Beans and Suele Ethel Waters, Demonios, Ellies Clough, McClendon, Hishope, Oldens, Thompson, Decomaners, Crimes, Moreases, Irwin, Miller, Amon Davis, Quintard Miller, Billy King, Sherman Dudley, Whitman Sibley, and Tull and their representative of our theatres, he would have been nearer the truth. All these have spent the greater part of their lives and talent in Negro theatres, but only three of them are still performing the cities and are therefore without Dr. Lewis's advice. Says Mr. Lewis: "The artist imbued with a sense of race pride and responsiveness, and Florence Mille is a rare bird in the ranks of Negro performers." "THE NEGRO PERFORMER'S DEFICIT" Reply to Theophilus Lewis by S. Tutt Whitney NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15, 1928 A CLASSIC From the Pen of One of America's Most on the Theatre EXCLUSIVELY IN Hob and Florence have passed, but Ethel is still with us and of us. She would be one of the last to disclaim her title, but she does them and loves their patron, and I have often heard her say so. She does not place the approval of the audiences on her shoulders, playing any bigger than she did the occasion for two people. And to prove it, she is doing the same things and singing the songs, "Nshakin" "The Things" and "The Woman." She will not better, only as time, study and work improve her talent, than before she came within the notice of us. She will laugh loudly and loudly to learn that Mr. Lewis has set her up as a paragon in a great artist, but she belongs to his cultural life; she has degraded her voice of the "better class of the race." Listen to this: "The Nero actor has not only failed to make the stage a vital part of his cultural life; he has degraded her voice of the "better class of the race." For the sake of knowledge, will Mr. Lewis kindly define just what is meant by the better class. We have had a lot of talk all at once when it comes to isolating the "better class." To our mind, observation and experiences, education, money and experience, not always demeaning the "better class." With our company we forbid the use of vulgarity; profanity evokes the audience. We are only accustomed to talk alone. We are only accustomed to we have been with the self-styled "better class," and listened to its profanity, heard its obscene jokes, heard its vulgarity, heard its state of exclamation. And many of these are the same ones who condemn vulgarity and unkindness on the stage. What hypocrites we moralize without rancor, nor in a spirit of recruitment, or because of ambrage at his remarks, he must play the role of a mildly playful, societal figure, finances the venture and attempts a tour of the Negro theatres, only in order to prove the legitimacy of the "better class." He would soon learn that the "better class" would not batter down the theater doors to see his play and he would be a victim of the hypocrisy. Our theatre has evolved from a honky-tonk to its present-day status. Slowly, but surely, we are raising its standard and that without the help of the critics and with the aid of very few of the "better class." This is the age of thrills. Folk crowd to see a naked show because it is denounced or forbidden, and therein lies the "klick." We are drunken with freedom. We drink bootleg liquor, not because we like it, but because it is forbidden. In this manner we wish to prove to ourselves our inalienable right to drink what we please. Sicily, but surely, theatre devotees are stirring of vulgarity and rudeness. They are being satiated. And just as surely as truth-crushed to earth will rise again, and that right will eventually prevail, so will art again have another showing. Neither managers or actors are so deprived, so devoid of race pride, or so lacking in patriotism as to prefer obscure shows to the clean artistic ones. Who can judge the limit of one's ability but oneself? Often one is himself ignorant of his ability until put to the test or given the opportunity to prove. Again Mr. Lewis says: "The few performers intelligent enough to sense what is wrong with our theatre are the best performers in the world." Discounting the intelligence or the desire, we can lay claim to having an emphatic gesture towards the audience. We can be a friend to those, but one finds it difficult to keep up even a gesture upon the audience. Mr. Lewis draws between the actor and the painter is not a true one. The painter decides what brushes he wields, promoters, producers and managers decide what characters the actors will portray. In the theatrical world, Mr. Lewis assumes he should be he. He is but a painter, and all too often he is made the goat by those for his appearances and portraits. The public is a capricious thing if, as Mr. Lewis suggests, we attempted to portray Toussaint L'Overture, we would most likely have to make the great patriot do the black bottom to put him over. The so-called "better class" did not fall upon. Booker T. Washington's neck while he lived, as why should we presume that it would take more kindly to a stage portrayal of the great educator? Mr. Washington's work was among the lowly. The methods he employed to lift the lowly were as severely criticized by the "better class" as are the methods of the actors. What great reform was over fostered and carried to fruition by the "better class?" The "better class" is we know it is composed of clean lives and right thinkers, who love virtue, despise hypocrisy and have an acquaintance with truth and honesty. These are not all ways to be found in "strivers" row, or on the boulevards. You will often find Welcome to Our Old Favorites PETER Mey Kirkpatrick and Players. They R the Princess Theatre.

News European Writer Tells of Josephine Baker's Picture Speaks Well of Former Chorus Girl's Work in the New Film By I. A. Rogers JOSEPHINE BAKER, "The Celebrated Black Venus," has entered the movies and is meeting with a splendid success. A film in which she is starred has been showing at the Aubert Palace on the Grand Boulevard for the last month and still the place is crowded day and night. The film is entitled "The Siren of the Tropics" and is written by Maurice Dede. The film is presented by the author. So far as the "color" part of the play is concerned, it is rather conventional, being the old story of the native girl who Lills into hopeless love with a white. But apart from this it has touches of splendid originality. The story runs something like this: The Marquis of Setero, her woman, sponged with a prodigious deception of much late in the "Vient India" wishes to divorce his wife in order to marry Denise, his adopted daughter. The marchioness, who loves her husband, refuses to consent to the divorce and, in order to convince her husband that it would be useless on his part, reveals that Denise is already in love with a young engineer in the service of the marquis. On hearing this, the marquis, who lives in Paris, sends for the engineer. And when Denise comes to the office, he is半信半疑. Denise, that before he marries Denise he must do something to distinguish himself and proposes that he no out to the West indies to prospect for minerals on his property. Whatever valuable minerals are found, Andre will receive a share. With his fortune thus assured, Andre glidly consents to go. The French novelist, Robert Derval must never return to France and at once dispatches a letter to his overseer and confiante. Alvarez, a militant, suggesting to him that it would not be displeasing to him if Fervell never returns. Fervell arrives in the West Indies and, as it develops, he soon finds himself in a row with Alvarez over Paplitou (Josephine Baker). Paplitou, daughter of a drunken white man and a Negro woman, is a young girl, full of life and little interest. One day, as she is about to take a swim in a stream, Alvarez arrives on the scene and attacks her. Fervell, however, fights him off, to the intense gratitude of the young woman. That evening, at one of the native dances, Alvarez arrives and, taking the hand of Bervell, asks him to let hygones be hygones. Alvarez is in love, but he is not the less for revenge and decides to carry out the wish of the wife. Alvarez, in the meantime, has discovered gold on the property and has an additional reason for wishing to get rid of the young engineer. He fears that the latter might discover his mine, and the next day starts out with Berval, necessitating back in Paris, the marquis begins to force his attention on his adopted daughter and hinting that Berval might never return. Becoming suspicious, she tells the marquisness, who at once decides to start for the West Indies, and leave unknown to the marquis with Denise, who signs of love of Berval is much disturbed over the fact that Alvarez is taking out Berval and, inaking a short cut over the mountains, arrives at the spot where the four riders are on a rocky mountain. Across this mountain to another is a swing bridge of light material and Alvarez, pointing to it, says that one must cross it to get to the bridge, and leave unknown to the marquisess, who him that the bridge might not be safe and that he will send one of the natives to make sure. The man returns to say that all is well and Berval sets out on the bridge, only to have it break under him. He plunges to the precipice below, which is too high. Papition, however, has arrived on the scene and, descending into the precipice, finds that Berval is only slightly hurt, a tree having broken his fall. Leaving him there, she goes in search of food and help, but as she is a long time in arriving Berval starts off and finally comes on Alvarez with his two alides mining gold. A fight ensues, from which Berval is saved by the arrival of Papition. Papition is more than ever in love with Berval and she arrives at home to find that the marchioness and Denise have arrived. The lovers fly to each others' arms, to the great pain of Papition, who absolutely refuses to greet the two ladies after the three leave for Europe. Berval and finally decides to go to Paris. But she has no money, her only possession is a fetish comed, and when the agent demands $104 for passage she offers him the comb. Not to be outside, she swims out to the ship and finally catches on to a bucket thrown over by a sailor and gets on board. A scene of much comedy ensues in Berval finally a rich passenger agrees to pay her passage and take her on a nurse. Arriving in Paris she takes the children to the park and while dancing with them she is seen by the proprietor of a music hall hall, recognizing her ability, encourages her to give figure. Papillon is delighted, but mostly at the thought that everybody will agree with her. At her first performance, however, Berval is not there and Papillon leaves in anger. The music hall proprietors, seeing their dividends in danger, are at a loss what to do. Then one of them recalls that Berval is known to a friend of his, the marquis. The marquis is at home in taurinus, insisting that he will see none, and that Jenneis shall never marry Berval. However, a telephone call from the music hall hall that puts him into another humor, and upon he hegs the pardon of the marchioness and agrees to the marriage. A few nights later the marchiness gives a grand affair at her home, at which she is present. At the music hall Papition is at a great triumph when the marquis presents her picture, which leaves her audience and dies off to the home of the marchiness, with the marquais. Arriving here, the marquis leaves her in a room and then has one of the sacraments announce that there is a visitor for Berval. The latter goes, wondering who it is, and she sees him the two飞 into each other's arms, kissing and embracing. The marquis now arrives with Denise and other ladies. Denise will listen to no exclamations and breaks off the engagement, while the marquis striles Berval in the room, and she sees him the next day. The marquis has decided to kill his opponent, but Berval frees the other, marquis falls, however. Papition, hiding in a tree, had shot him dead. After this the usual exclamations follow, while Papition, to hide her grief, puts into her dress Miss Baker is splendid throughout with her frolicsome and original wares. Her dancing is much better than at the Follies, and she is by far the most natural person in the entire cast. Many other Negroes appear in the cast and they dance. Most of the white persons in the cast, except Alvryes, are stiff and are dressed in appearance. Appearing in the cast as the music hall manager is Simon Alberthal, the crumbling whom she was supposed to have married last year. Appropos of this, Miss Baker is said to have according to a declaration of hers at the American consulate recently. In the court she said that she was single, according to the Paris Tribune. She will be leaving Paris soon, according to reports. Sitten of the Trophee is due for a long run in Paris. Several of the leading illustrated journals have only carried her picture on their covers, speaking highly in praise of her film. kitchens, carrying the bed, hunting, baggage, on the farms, digging ditches, portering on trains, sometimes in "hunted" corners, even among actors, and using the aristocracy and the intelligence. These are God's annotated, and it is upon their backs that the race will climb to its place in the sun. These they who will assist us to lift the shield of our theatre until the actor is a mechanic or his vocation a thing for contempt. G. T. W. PETER H. "Salome" to Be Presented At the Alhambra Theatre The New Negro Art Theatre has itself an ambitious program, of which the most important is the production of "Salome" by Grace Wilder midnight, Friday, March 9, at the Alhambra Theatre, 128th street, and 56th street. Honoree Winfield, director of the Art --- --- JOHN H. HARRIS Theatre Boys to Stage Midnight Show at Alhambra George H. Caldwell, superintendent of the New York Hippodrome and president of the Keith-Albee Theatre Boys, is busy as a bee preparing for the greatest midnight gambol ever given by that famous organization. This will be the fifth annual affair given in Harlem by the club. In the club, you will see the gambolers up from the Palace and other Times Square theatres-many eminent stars, such as Vincent Lopez, William Despain, Patricia Franklin, Faye and many other. This year they may they will have the largest aggregation of stars ever seen in theaters, and they will be way.

Help for a Haitian School Patrons and Friends to Dance at the Savoy Thursday Night The Jean-Joseph Industrial School of Port-au-Prince, started by a group of women and asked by American patrons, marks an important epoch in the educational life of the masses of Haiti. The interest in Port-au-Prince increases daily and an organization of two hundred men and women are endorsing and adding this effort. The school was named, by the American patrons, after its courageous founder and president, Melie Hosina Jean-Joseph, who feeling keenly the need for education for the less favored of the people has undertaken this great work. In our issue of Feb. 1 we presented the work and ambitions of the Haitian Progressive Club and the need of greater friendship between our people. We are happy that there is an awakening. The American patrons represent not only our leading citizens and educators of our largest institutions of learning but the leading thought and minds of the education of the black man. The leading spirits of this movement are Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, who is the founder of the Layle Lane, who has visited the island with a large number of Haitians now residing in New York, and who are interested in such a inducable undertaking. The American patrons were able to attend the first little school building which is now overflowing with students. Other New York clubs added in contributing a large box of school supplies for a Christmas holiday. Beautiful grounds with ocean and mountain scenery are now being prepared for indoor departments and buildings that would greatly benefit them. What work could be more interesting than this; adding a capable and worthy mass of colored people to develop a school that would raise their earnings from four, five and six dollars a month to a living salary. The feen of one of two or more dollars goes each year directly to the development of this school which must represent the growth, ability and experience of the school as well as the progress of Haiti. 1 The headquarters are at 229 West 135th street.

Dougherty No Place in Harlem For Our Best Efforts THE LATE ED. C. BROWN Proving That We Are Far From Being Wrong in the Position We Have Adhered To All Along Every time a commendable effort in the theatre as it concerns us is made comes a repetition of the splendid work done by that noble band of performers known as the LaFayette Players. So this week we find Lester A. Walton admires that he will be with him in success in the theatre as the producer of "Meek Mose," the play by Frank Wilson, now starring in "Porgy." Do we same Walton who brought to the chronology of theatrical doings in a colored newspaper that dignity which was lacking until he came? We should amble. He would have been with him in success or failure, for he actually pointed the way to what little success we have achieved in the years we have been charged with voicing opinions in these In the meantime let us hasten to correct the impression given out by mish- informed writers, and one on our own work, that the late Edward C. Brown started the Quality Amusement Corporation which gave us the Lafayette Players. We were proud of the crowned the efforts of Robert Lavy and his associates, and with him came Walt, ten, who to this day retains the vision of which he knows they are can- So "Meek Mose" is, if successful, the forerunner of plays which will reopen the opportunity we once enjoyed in Harlem, where there is no place in Harlem for our best efforts. If a Sir Baerhoem Tree should again express the desire to see the play, where in Harlem would we dare to take him? True, the last time such a one came he saw a highly intelligen-tive play to see Edward Stewart Wright the "Othello," but that day has been a long distance in the past and we were all sat in the deep deep until今 and so we find Lillian Udahl writing of the glories of the past at the Lafayette Theatre, recently recalling incidents on Broadway with "Meek Mose." They were beloved of the play, Silney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman, in those days, and Laura was helping to any foundation in the play, bowing to the plaudits of the "Emperor Jones." Aye, even at that time, Evelyn Ellen, now in "Porgy," was rising to the top for her potential for predicting her success later. It was in 'Sundays New York World that we found Miles Udahl writing length on the former Lafayette Players, the former Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, which she tells us, 'he wrote a letter of profuse appreciation of their talent. They were wonderful performers, 'maddling crowd of Broadway, Deleer, Morrie Gle, Sherwon Anderson cane and admired them. He then goes on to Micke Mose' tomorrow evening at the Princess Theatre as the initial effort of a new movement to establish a Negro theatre, the members of its cast feel it is a great success. They rainbow they have followed for so long. 'They have all been buffeted by fate. in the experience of two of them, for a while, they have followed band, Sidney Kirkpatrick, doubt, despair and fear have darkened their way in the last quarter of a century, so that they are the lastest glimmer of house. "A storm at sea, fire, quarantine, a haunted house, are some of the less ornate buildings in their city. Even the course of their pain almost blocked, for as soon as their romance was noticed, about ten years ago, they were placed in different units in the same play and should take it into their heads to leave they would be irradiated. It was feared that if they were in the same play and should take it into their heads to leave they would be irradiated. Of course the separate romance lent enchantment to their desires, and marriage soon followed. "He was stunned at one time before the members of a quartet in a little Hamlet. They pooled their souls资源 and paid $3 for an many weeks' work. After a night of untreated sleep they made a work. Then they were told that smallpox had been found and they must stay inside for nine days to escape at any cost. There was a back stairway which seemed to have reached the last stage of decay. They crept down it as if it was much of a strain. Their weight was too much of a strain. They got to the bottom the rickety old structure actually collapsed. Despite the noise made by the falling boards on the windows, clumped out of a high window to liberty. "A more drastic situation was taking place at this time in the career of Miss Dowman. There was a severe storm at Orlando, and she was a chorus girl with Williams and Walker. There was no wireless aboard. Before King at Palace. For several days they made headway as a boat being rowed up Nigersia Falls. The girl were locked in a room and by on the floor like a corpse. But the Captain brought him to port in England after sixteen days. The applause she received from her first appearance in Europe gave her confidence to stay there for years. She stayed in Orlando for the entire Palace in honor of the ninth birthday of the Prince of Wales, and was welcomed as a novelty in the capital aboard. The war brought down the final curtain on her playing abroad and she came back. After a decade on the other side she had risen to international fame for her imperiousness and singing, but her prophet, she was not honored at all. "There was one opening. Robert Lacy had just formed the Lafayette Stock Company of the best Negro players he could rest, together. The pay was a little better than nothing. But there was more than interest that venture for Laura Rowen. She met Sidney Kirkpatrick on the stages of the Lafayette while they were being used for the first production. She got used for of Lava's venture—love and Toodle. "Poodles were their pet and was so well trained that he was stolen. But they were named Pearls, and treasured their lives. "One night in a Kansas City hotel, about two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick were sitting in the curtains we were afraid of and Peace, a white French poodle, was tugging at the beddresses and harking shrill. They finally awoke and ran to gun to douse their beddresses. Only the loyalty of the little dog saved them from death. Their fortunes again were at a low bid they were offered the management of a summer hotel in New Jersey. It was supposed to have no other occupants at the time they moved in, but they were heard and felt often enough, but never seen. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick lived in this "haunted" house or three weeks, the limit of their en "These veteran troupers and their followers will make their appearance in theaters, but they don't expect disaster. They feel certain that in this play Frank Wilson has written a real expression of their own simple, honest, happy folk drama."

Ned, d客员; THE LAPSE OF YEARS MADAME RENARDI sat looking out of the large plate-glass window that was the largest thing about her little shop. It was near the close of the business day for everything in that portion of Fifth avenue. It had been a good day; almost all of Madame's business days were good. Somehow there was a touch here, a charm there or a bit of boldness and daring in Madame's creations for women's wear which were designated as hats, that had given the little Fifth avenue millinery establishment an increase. greater vogue, and that made Madame a very welcome customer at the big bank in the next block around the corner. TEN --- In consequence of one of these very good days, the proprietor was feeling very kindly toward her, and she was well fitted with herself. This feeling was accustomed, maybe, by the reflection which she caught of herself in the mirrored panel of a host's delivery car, which had been broken in and now dawd. She was really very good looking; she know she could not deny it if anyone had said so just then. The set black of her beautiful hair; the keenly flashing skin with a tendency toward swarthiness, but in which the red blood seemed to lurk so near the surface; the perfect nose and finely formed mouth; the trim but not too sharp; fitted her in the satisfaction which she had in her physical self. Moreover, Madame was not old, at least, apparently she was not.

The Hottest Snot A visiting missionary meeting in old friend a few afternoons ago, was asked by him: Tom, isn't you think it's "HELL?" to life in Africa? Tom answered dubiously: Yes; not for a poor man to live in New York. It's "HELLER." Now, white Madame was hastening northward, her face pressed close against the pane of the taxi, she was living over again the period of her life which ended so abruptly a little more than twenty years ago. She remembered vividly the day she came to New Orleans from the little city up the river, a girl of eighteen, or thereabouts, alone in the world and with the necessity of actively seeking support for herself. In addition to that fact she was a stranger in a big city, was the added handicap which she carried because she belonged to that large part of Louisiana's population who are neither white nor black, but who are so much of the one that they are classed with the other. She had found a comfortable home and a domestic position in the family of Pierre Hebert, who was then the leading cotton factor along the waterfront. Some of the customers vowed that she could not be over 27, while others hazarded a guess that 22 was near right. There were some wise ones who said 40 was about right, that Madame Renardé's little shop had been at least 40 years, and that for at least three years prior she had had a number of fashionable patrons in her little establishment in the cross street up town. Only Madame herself knew that 42 was really right. But what mattered it, her face was young, her step springing, her figure appearing adolescent. She was making money; she was popular, she was beautiful. But her life was lonely. How lonely no one but she knew. Her apartments in upper Riverside drive were beautiful and furnished in a tasteful and costly manner. There was a time when the music, the laughter, the joyousness of youth and wine had resounded there and she was often the hostess of an admiring group. But she tired of that as she grew older, gradually the parties became fewer and fast friends drifted away. The French in her blood had had full sway, and now came the more serious side of life. The flowers that the man was taking out of the automobile opposite started all of this train of thought in her mind, and she remembered how frequently that woman beautifully beauties to her. She had always loved flowers and this the young men of her set knew. So to gain her favor they sent her lavish bouquets which made her boudour look frequently like a conservatory, the only redeeming thing of all this short past. She knew the woman upstairs who was to get these roses. Truly, they were wonderful. Almost a look of desire came into her eyes as she shebheld them. Then her eyes flashed and she had all the flowers she wished only she would let the score of men who wished to do so send them. How frequently they stopped in front of her window to look at the hats and—her! Old ones, some ones, horrid looking and they would be flirt always! One she could look out of one's window in peace. It was disgusting. As she thought of this she became conscious that one of the genius male was standing there now admiring her—hats. She looked up and turned away, and looked full in the face of a young man of 23 or thereabouts, who was respectfully gazing at her. His eyes bespoke the purest admiration she had seen in a man's eyes in many years. His eyes came from his to his mouth and back and most uttered a cry. Quickly she regulated her composure and in a rapid glance surveyed him from head to toe. He saw her excitement and took so quick advantage of it that he could not defend herself. Rapidly he walked in, fortunately all the her walked in the rear preparing to go home. --- Her duties were light, because Madame Hebert was, on account of failing health, almost a recluse. The father was busy all day downtown and most of his nights were spent at his club. There was only a couple of days a week, a family, a son of about Cecile's own who rarely stayer at home. At least, his mother said he spent little time there until Cecile came. Then a great change came over him. After the fashion of the 1960s, Cecile and Honolulu became greatly interested in this winnowa lass of mixed blood. He spent more time at the house; and they spent much time in each other's company. Her heart quickened as she remembered her husband, how devoted he seemed to be and how intensely she learned to love him. She remembered vividly the storm that came when his father discovered his relationship to dishonor to disbelief to let her alone. She was discharged immediately. Raoil sent her to Cincinnati and placed her in charge of a kindly old German couple, who cared for her tenderly until her baby girl was born. They placed the child in a foundling home, and Raoil always sent her money that she would be provided for. As this letter was his letters—she had a bundle of them in her trunk—now how NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15, 1928 "Madame functies that I remind her of someone she has known," he said in a voice that startled her still more, so nearly alike it was to another voice she had almost forgotten. "Yes, yes," she answered bartered France, long ago, a very dear friend." Then regaining her composure she asked, "Monsieur is French?" She knew he was not. She knew from the instant that he touched his hat that he was of the United States and of the South, So his answer did not surprise her. "No, Madame, my native home is Now Orleans. My father lives there now, my mother is dead. I am beginning the practice of law here in New York, and I shall be married soon. I wanted to be married until I looked at Madame and saw her smile as she looked at the flowers, and then—" He shrugged his shoulders with a gesture that she knew was a smile, his eyes, and signed it. "Do not know now that I want to so much." He was so terribly in earnest that she laughed outright. There was nothing of the masher about him. He had stood all the time hat in hand with the earnestness of her smile, flushed deeply at her laugh, making him more handsome than he otherwise was, and heightening the interest he was arousing in her because of the resemblance which he bore to someone of her past. She felt sorry she had laughed. She tried to smooth it over. I am Madame Renardi" she said, with the emphasis on her title, "and old enough for your mother, mon cher. You flatter me and I appreciate the compliment you pay me. But don't change your look. You don't marry. You are young, you need love and companionship. It will keep you straight here in this city that is never straight." Then quickly changing the trend of her remarks, she said in her most charming manner: "She must be married to you you are to marry to have attracted one so handsome as Monstour." He flushed deeply and in his embattlement, began mopping his forehead with a gesture like one she used to know long ago. He looked at her, and finally, "and tell me about her!" I should dearly love you, know her." He hesitated, looked at his watch, and finally said, "If Madame will pardon me, but I have an engagement within ten minutes and the time has flown. But Madame said so much to talk to Madame I call to see her later this evening." She surveyed him intently. There was suppressed eagerness in his voice, but none of the anxiety of the fast New Yorker. It was her only a moment to decide. "Here is my card," she answered, "I will expect you at 9." sweered, "I will expect you at 8." "I am so glad," she said with a sight of relief, "Will Madame her little slip of postboard, howing profoundly, went joyously out and up the street. She stood gazing at the card as in a trance, while her help died out on a condering the young man and that she so visibly affected Madame. The card bore the inscription, "Racal C. Hebert, Jr., Counselor-at-law." For several minutes she stood there looking at the card, with the young man's surging through her soul. Then she ran hurriedly to the back of the shop, made her toilet for leaving, and with a laugh that she herself hardly understood she herself must take herself beautiful for her caller. they burned with words of love and yearning for sight of her again. The letters grew shorter and colder until one day they suddenly stopped. She knew why, a week later, when a newspaper clipping came announcing Raoul's fair's choice. She heard the fair him after that. The money ceased coming and she had to get out and work. Her skill with her needle came in handily and she was able thereby to support herself. The child had been adopted a family, she was told. And so she, in order to get as far away from the past as she could, drifted to New York. She had never been able to decide whether she hated or loved Raoul most. At times she knew she hated him with an undying love. And then she loved her life and then deserted her life out even a message of any sort, or a desire to know whether she was dead or alive? She know, of course, his father's objections, but she knew that she dead and so was his wife too, the barrier of the color-line, false as it was, which his native customs had practiced against her. But there had been cases, of course, that his love had dared to violate the customs. Surely, surely, he must have had. THE lights of Broadway were never brighter than they were for her that night, nor did Churchill's ever seem so vibrant with life. When they walked into the crowded dining room, there was a ripple of stillness that went the whole length of the room. Every eye followed them until they were seated and then they were lost again in the current of talk.

Coleridge-Taylor, the greatest of the Negro composers, was represented by his fine music, which he wrote and in an arrangement of a Negro Spiritual for string trio. The remainder of the program of music consisted of favorite Negro Spirituals. Among those were: "Steal Away," "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Heaven's Heaven," "Down's Low," "Down's Low," and "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," by Taylor. Dr. Robinson, the speaker of the afternoon, whose subject was "The Poor People," is chairman of the Harlan League of the Greater Chicago.

His church has a seven-day-week program and is one of the places outside of Chicago. "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've been" was played as a saxophone solo during Gold Strand Group Sunday.

How she enveloped this unknown girl her happiness, Oh, but who knew, Raoul might be lonely, too, as she was; he made her smile as she did him, and then . . . Her heart was as light as that of a bird.

Program yet, like many men, he bemoaned his fate that he was so soon to be married to another, leaving this newly discovered fruit untouched. It was too late now to turn back. Dorothy felt her heart beats in her first sweetheart. She was young and beautiful and rich. Moreover, she loved him. There was nothing lacking in the whole situation. Until now, he had fondly imagined that he loved Dorothy, but tonight this mature woman had supplanted her. She was so when he first looked at her through the window, irresistibly drawn toward her. He was watching her every move, and drinking in the fascination of her beauty as she laughed and chatted gaily. How strikingly like Dorothy she appeared as she acknowledged the smile the bow of cognition which came from a group nearby. He began to study her more keenly and to make comparisons of eyes, mouth, nose and hands. There was a marked similarity in every feature. How surprised he was when he saw the sculous of another feeling on every point on which he had made comparison Dorothy was superior! Her eyes were the same intense black, but the keenness of the flash was in Dorothy's eyes always the texture of her skin soft and moist and was the difference between new rubber and old. This was a woman; Dorothy was a girl. She was reading his thoughts and know from his expression that he was struggling with himself. She determined to decide how. Has your father changed much since he was your age?" she asked suddenly. There was something in the (To be concluded next week.) Your Business and Mine An Opportunity in the Cleaning and Pressing Business In every large city there are from twenty to sixty Negro tailoring and cleaning and pressing shops. Each one collects an average of ten suits a day to be cleaned and pressed. Each one sends his pieces to be cleaned to white wholesale cleaners. The average wholesale price for cleaning a man's suit is fifty cents and for women's things the price varies upward, as the charge is made by the inch. made by the niks. Thus, for larger sizes a pressing shop spends $5. Thirty shops spend in a day $150 for wholesale cleaning, all with white concerns. On the basis of three hundred working days a year, thirty kg pressing shops spend $45,000 yearly with white plants for wholesale cleaning. How many $45,000 businesses have we? No matter how many there are, there a day a day would mean if all it went to one Negro establishment. It would mean the employment of many Negro men and women in our own plants at fair wages. There are plenty of men trained for this work who, if allowed to work at all in white plants, are poorly paid. It would mean more advertising revenue for the paper on papers in the city where a cleaning plant is established. Another stone had been laid in the foundation of our economic freedom. Whether there are only twenty or whether there is the respectable number of sixty, the central cleaning plant will serve its purpose, keeping our money in our own race. This is an economic necessity. For the purposes of this article we will say there are thirty cleaning and pressing shops in a city. Why not those thirty men establish their own central cleaning plant in this manner? If each of the thirty proprietors would put up $150 for the purpose there would be on hand $4,500. A building could be leased and trucks, tanks, pumps, washers, dryers, filters, boilers, tables and machinery equipment could be purchased for $3,600 that would have a capacity of 500 and more suits daily. Each tailor would display a sign identical in design, showing that he is a member of the Associated Cleaners, or any other name would serve the purpose so long as the sign is distinctive and points out the place where it is displayed as one moving in good work and good service. More importantly each tailor must know for his own shop and his own plan, what to pride in the fact that he could do. Business could be solicited for each member of the association through group advertising. The wholesale business of white shops could be sought on a competitive basis, say 5 per cent under the tenure scale, and the plant could make the work work. There are plenty of white tailors who would patronize a wholesale cleaners whose prices were slightly less and equally as good work as any other. If the quality of the work doe be consistently kept up and the service rendered is constantly dependable, a fair amount set aside and used regularly with a manager of only average earnings a business grossing $60,000 a yearly but an easy possibility. On the basis only 12 per cent net the yearly profit would be $6,000. 'This amount divided among the thirty tailors who made the thing possible would mean $200 additional profits to each of the original investment should be paid much in three years, assuming that all the profits would not be paid out in dividends the first year or two. question that startled him. He looked directly at her, and she lowored her eyes. "Then a new light broke over him. With the thought the girl won and the woman became an object of wonder. He half arose from his chair in his怒ness. He spoke slowly, "You knew my father at my age?" he said. There was a moment of tense silence. Finally, she leaned forward, looking intently at him and spoke to him—"I know him—and loved him—when he was your age." Her hands were tightly clenched and her breast was having with emotion, "I love him now. Mon cher, since I looked into your eyes this afternoon, I have lived my life over again. You say he is coming, or me when? I can hardly well." He had hardly expected such complete confirmation of his suspicions. How strange his father had never told him. Now he remembered the long wait he had come upon his father or weeping over a bundle of old letters. He thought they were his dead mother's letters, but now he understood. He reached inside his pocket and found a program he had received at eight o'clock. Then he stepped to the telephone while she read it. "Dorothy, dear," he cried with excitement. "I have the biggest surprise in the world for you. I will have the first frame of father's youth. We are coming right up." When he returned to the table she was radiant with excitement. "He is coming tomorrow night," she cried gaily. "We will all four have dinner at my apartment." Then they drove uptown to meet Dorothy Telfair. ess and Mine A.

While his counsel made a strong plea, it did not save John from having to pay a fine of $25 or five days in jail when arraigned on Tuesday, Feb. 7, in the Court of Special Sessions. Not having the money, John went to jail. According to the police, Roberts was arrested early morning in January on Rochester avenue near Beam street when he was caught stealing a bottle of milk from a wagon. The driver saw him and when Roberts ran he ran into the street, realizing that he was in the grip of the realization that he was in the street and had been on the lookout for milk thieves, as there had been a number of complaints about milk being stolen. The officer realized that he was in the grip of the realization that he was in the street and had been offered to pay for the milk, but the officer would not let that be done, even though the driver was willing. He was arrested and taken to the station. Next day he was arraigned in the Gates Avenue Court and was held in $500 bail for Special Sessions.

According to the police, Frost is connected with a New York ring of cocaine and heroin distributors. A tip supplied by a purchaser echo sought by the police accorded to Frost, led to the man's arrest. Through a ruse by Detectives Bennett and Trevor Attorney's office, Frost was induced to come to Hempstead, believing he was to meet a new customer.

Not Many Veterans Left Local Post Given Charter More Than Sixty Years Ago In a talk with Commander Pierre Zeno of the William Lloyd Garrison Post 207 of the Grand Army of the Republic, at his desk in the Register's Office in the Hall of Records, our reporter was told last week of the few remaining veterans in what was one of the foremost posts in the country. There are only fourteen men left out of the $38 that were members of the post when it was organized April 18, 1851. Commander Zeno is a charter member of the post and in the forty-seven years of its existence has acted as commander during three different periods of the organization's history. He was summoned the last time several years ago because of the death of the then commander. Commander Zeno called attention to the fact that the membership of the William Lloyd Garrison Post at the time it was organized was longer than the present total of all the coloured and white Civil War members in Brooklyn. There are now only 235. He stated that sixty-one years have passed since the first charter was issued, and many posts since that time, especially during 1926, were forced to discontinue because of small numbers, but in Brooklyn, where there are eighteen posts, not one has been forced to displace. Commander Zeno and several of his comrades of both races gather during the week in the memorial and executive chamber, which is located in the Borough Hall, and renew acquaintances and retell the story of the Civil War and recount the many eventful incidents of the days gone by. In this room, which is donated free by the city, these men who fought for the preservation of the Union spend happy moments with their consoles and friends, who understand them Garrison Post is the William Lovel The William Lovel Garrison Post is sixth in membership in the country The U.S. grant Post 327, with sixty-five members, is the largest. The B. F. Middleton Post 500 has the smallest membership. There are only six veterans on its roster. The Garrison Post is the only one composed of Negroes in Kings County. There is a women's auxiliary known as Women's Relief Corps No. 33, and the number of wives of the Civil War Recently Commander Zemo took steps to save their chatter when some white members of several relief corps sought to take it. The commander explained the move by saying that, insensual as it was the only relief corps composed of eloquent women in the state, some white women wanted to dislodge it. HEMPSTEAD, L. I.

Real Estate and The Sewer Probe Owners of Small Homes Not Being Forced Into Foreclosures BY HEXOLD B. LIGHSTON. It is to be regretted that some of our dwellings and few civic agencies have had the time and money to invest on real estate in Queens. It is not altogether true that owners of small homes are being forced into foreclosure by reason of non-payment of bills for improvements; in most cases bills for these improvements have yet been rendered. The estimated costs of the sewers are from 70 to 36 a square foot, according to location, and the public is likely to be paid for them. We are be paid in installments to run over a period of ten years, thus relieving to a large extent any difficulty in the payment thereof. Public improvements are lasting betterments which are an important factor in the increase of property values, as may be seen by the fact that the assessed value of real estate in the Borough of Queens for 1928 is nearly $10 million dollars, increase since 1928. The Queens Borough Chamber of Commerce has completed its annual estimate of population for Queens and finds that the figures so beyond the million mark, which could really reflect the wonderful strides the borough is making. Reports were also obtained from the electric companies serving the borough as to the number of dwelling house connections made during the registration of voters were reviewed and checked. The result shows a gain of more than 100 per cent in the population of the borough since the official U. S. census of 1820. During the last year, according to figures obtained at the Building Bureau, permits were issued for 22,000 new buildings, providing living accommodations for more than 22,000 families.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. THE human form is a thing of beauty only when height, weight and posture are correlated in the normal manner. A pleasing personality has as its foundation the proper posture of the body. Physiological functioning of the internal organs is kept normal only when postural defects are not present. There are many people whose walk is peculiar or awkward, whose posture, either sitting or standing, is defective. Such people sooner or later become inefficient in their capacity for work. Each individual has many pounds of weight bearing down upon the bony structure of the body. The natural curves of this bony framework are able to support the weight of the soft tissues only when these curves are unaltered. Muscles and ligaments attached to the bony framework must not be overstretched or cramped. There must be the proper muscular and ligamental tone, otherwise muscular fatigue will occur on the slightest exertion. In the chest, abdomen and pelvis are the vital organs, such as lungs, heart, stomach, intestines. In women, the proper functioning of the uterus, ovaries and Falopian tubes depends upon the normal posture of the body. Many an ache, pain or "misery" is due to not sitting right, habitual faulty carriage, or a change in the normal curves of the spine. The chief postural defects are: 1. Round shoulders and a forward position of the head. 2. Kyphosis. This is an increased flexion or bending forward of the dorsal spine, that portion of the spine to which is attached the ribs. 3. Lordosis. This is an abnormal forward curve of the lumbar spine. This is the portion of the spine just back of the abdomen. 4. Scoliosis. This is a lateral curvature of the spine—an abnormal curve either to the right or left of the body. The correction of faulty posture should begin as soon as it is detected. This usually means in childhood days before the posture becomes "x&xd" by the long-continued habitual malposition of the soft tissues, such as muscles and ligaments. To correct any faulty posture, it is necessary to find out just what are the causes for the existing abnormal posture. When this is ascertained, then orthopedic and general exercises, massage and electric treatments are used. By such a method there is a re-education of the "muscle Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN Should She Kiss Him? Dear Emgny, Ann: I have been going out with a boy for about a year. I like him, as he is an "awfully" good fellow. I am not of a demonstrative nature. I usually refuse to let him kiss me, as I am afraid it will lead to further advances. Do you think he should insist? I don't go out with other boys, and it is generally understood that he is my friend. There is another girl who likes him and calls him up all the time. Please advise. PEARL. Dear Pearl: I cannot blame the young man for wanting to kiss you, nor can I see any harm. It's only natural that he should want to if he likes you well enough to take you out for a year. Kissing doesn't necessarily lead to further advances. Of course, I'm not referring to those half-hour passions, which are dangerous enough. Don't begin worrying about the other damselfish. Your boy friend likes you and little expressions of affection from you will be more welcome to him than further advances from someone for whom sense" to the correct attitude; there is an improvement in the muscle tone and vigor of entire body; there is a stretching of those muscle groups which have been allowed to shorten by the defected carriage, and you strengthen and thereby shorten the opposing group of muscles on the opposite side of the body. Postural defects are gradual in their development. Defects of hearing or vision and impuer sitting in school are the greatest causes of poor posture. Lack of muscular tone that accompanies undernutrition or recent acute illness also frequently helps to develop improper posture. High heels and excessive abdominal weight also aid in producing postural defects. The habitual carrying of bags, books or packages on the same side of the body is a frequent cause of lateral deformity. Infantile paralysis, rickets, articular and muscular rheumatism are the diseases which may result in postural defects. It is of vital importance that the posture of the body be attended to. Each individual should be made to feel the importance of the proper carriage of the body, both from an aesthetic as well as a physical standpoint. Abnormal posture can be corrected by a physical examination, by will power, proper exercise and the avoidance of the causes leading up to faulty body posture. The German and Swedish people are noted for their gentleid physical conditions. This is greatly due to the strict attention which they pay to the proper body posture, their gymnastic exercises, their simple diet, and their love of fresh air. he doesn't care. Sincerely, EGYPSY ANN. Mentally Upset Dear Egyptsy Ann: I hope you can help me, as you have helped so many others. Recently I've been subjected to fits of depression. I feel like committing suicide or running away. It isn't that my mind isn't occupied. I go to work in the day and school at night. I hate to be alone and try to fill every moment. I worry all the time and sometimes act real crazy. I've been disappointed in love, but that's been some time ago and I'm pretty much over it by now. Still, I haven't been able to love anybody else. Please tell me what you think of me. B. Denr B: First of all, I think you're trying to do too much. Your present mental condition is certainly in an upset state. Rest, rather than activity, is what you need. Can't you give up something for a few months? Refuse to worry. Shut your eyes to your troubles for a month at least.

THIS city of 700,000 population is quiet, old, easygoing, mellow. It is difficult to believe that some four years ago it was the Spartacist stronghold, and that its streets saw much fierce rioting. It is the city of "Beer and Art" — das Bierlieben und das Kunstlieben—as well as the home of German wit and humor. Simplicimuss is published here. Its beer gardens are the largest in existence. I visited one known as the Mathersau on Bayerstrasse and saw thousands of people in the garden listening to the orchestra. Then I went into the building, to find large room after large room on every floor filled with drinkers. Every one without exception had a large stein of beer before him or her, while scores of waiters dashed hither and thither. Just such a scene as one might have seen in Chicago and Milwaukee before prohibition struck them. I thought this the largest beer parade I had ever seen, but further down the street I came upon another, the Pschorbrauhaus, which easily elapsed this. It extended the width of the street, and was about as long as two of our city blocks. One passed from one street to another under a passage that reminded one of a vast Gothic vault. On both sides of this passage were side-tables made to be let down on holidays, while in the brilliantly lighted interior were thousands of persons, some eating, and all drinking beer. Pschor Beer is rather more like English ale; it is of a dark amber and costs about twice as much as the blond beer. A waitress brought me a glassful—not less than a quart, and while I was trying hard to do in Rome as the Romans do, a man at a nearby table got rid of two of them, and called for a third. It seems as natural for a German to drink beer as a fish to draw water through his gills. No one can say that the German kidney isn't well flushed. I understand that the practice is to eat radishes in order to be able to drink still more. But another surprise was to come. Further on, I came upon another beer-hall—the Hofbrauhaus—which was about as large as the first two together. In a vast smoke-filled basement were thousands and thousands of drinkers, each with the inevitable beer, chatting and laughing. In Germany the whole family seems to come into the saloons—at least I saw tables at which were grandma, grandpop and the children. Rather different in England where children under fourteen are not permitted in the "pubs," and where one may see mothers with their baby-carriages parked at the door. But, of course, there's a reason; the Anglo-Saxon, unlike the Latin and the centered and hell become interested in you. Give yourself a mental vacation. Before you resume your work, jot down on a piece of paper the things that cause you to worry and do your best to avoid them henceforth. Don't let your work pile up on you. Take an interest in others.

Library Notes About 150 parents, teachers and children assembled in the auditorium of the West 135th Street Library on Friday afternoon to listen to a fascinating and constructive program given by a group of children under the direction of Miss Roberta Bosley, children's assistant. Miss Bessie McDougal, principal speaker and student at Hunter High School, gave an excellent talk on life of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Four other addresses were delivered by public school students on Benjamin Bannaker, Booker T. Washington and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Prof. Willis M. Huggins, teacher of history in the Brooklyn high schools; Cleveland G. Allen and Lucien White, musical critic for the New York Age, also gave short addresses and complimented the group on its excellent program, which was in keeping with Negro History Week.

I did not see a drunken German. As an art center, Munich is one of the foremost in the world, and, perhaps, the greatest in Germany. Most of its fame in this respect is, perhaps, due to the Mad King, Ludwig II, whose insanity took the THE NEW YORK TIMES -J. A. Rogers— form, not of believing himself a Caesar, Napoleon, Jesus Christ or Rockefeller, or of desiring to kill like Calgula, but of creating magic palaces and scenes of beauty such as no human eye had ever beheld. As if to make this vision soar to ever greater heights, there came on the scene the greatest creator of operatic splendor the world has known. Richard Wagner. Poor Wagner, harassed with debts, was fleeing from town to town to escape the sheriff, when Ludwig sent for him, paid his debts, installed him in a palace and showed upon him luxuries that satisfied even such a one as Wagner. It was a case of one splender meeting another; of the diamond meeting the pearl; or of Aladdin with his Wonderful Lamp meeting the Fairy King. This artist-king and Wagner became intimate friends, and the two planned to make. Munich the art capital of the world. Ludwig built four magnificent palaces—Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, Hohenschwangau and Herrenchiemse, the last named I have been told celliping in grandeur all others in Europe. I did not go to see any of them, but will return some day if ever I can meet some mad king to change my half-million marks. Ludwig and Wagner planned an opera house, museums, marvelous gardens, fairy grottoes, costing millions. But Ludwig was already draining the treasury and the people took his proposals coldly. Soon after Wagner was forced to flee and the king was finally declared insane and deposed. Two days later, in 1886, lovers of beauty the world over were shocked to hear that the unfortunate king had been found drowned in the beautiful Lake of Starnberg with his physician, who was also his guardian. Munich has many famous art museums, among them being the Bavarian National Museum, the Arrows By R. A. ADAMS THO' you be poor as I, (That would be poor. indeed!

Decreasing Illegitimacy This term is used in reference to children born out of wetland, and, despite the statistical information that there are born in this country fifty thousand illegitimate annually, it is plain 'o the ordinary observer that other there are fewer of these unfortunate being born or that there is less being said about them than in other days. Knowing the universal insatiable desire for scandal and the seemingly inexorable denial of Friend of Mine Glytotothek, the New Pinakothek, and the Old Pinakothek. The most famous picture in the last named deals with a singular subject; that is, singular for Americans. Indeed, it is safe to say that no American artist would ever paint such a picture—a black artist would be ashamed to, and a white one wouldn't. It is the picture of St. Maurice talking to St. Erasmus, the bishop. St. Maurice is pictured a sooty black, with what we would call in America real "bad" hair, thick lips, high cheekbones, and would win the prize at any beauty show that was judged according to Caucasian or Afro-American standards. That is, the booby prize! I must insist that I am not exaggerating in this description. Anyone who has seen it will bear me out. The black saint is clad in resplendent armor; a jewelled sword hangs by his side; a jewelled collar is around his neck; on his kinky head is a golden crown bordered with roses, illuminated with the saintly halo, white on his face, which someone has described as "grotesque," is a look of such sublimity that it reaches ecstasy. The picture painted by Grunewald about 1513 once hung in front of the altar in the Cathedral at Halle. And why did it hang in such an important place? This black man was the celestial saint or the white people living in the region of Halle. Who, by the way, was St. Maurice? I have been hesitating whether I should tell and thus be little the intelligence of the average reader. I know that as a group we are so well informed on our history that it will be a waste of words. Nevertheless, there may be some lone reader in the turpentine region of Georgia without ambition, or the opportunity of a library, so I shall have to tell what I know. St. Maurice, called by the Germans St. Maurifius, was one of the leading generals of Maximilian Herculian, Roman Emperor. As commander of the Theban Legion, he was called to Rome from Africa to put down a rising among Christian slaves in Gaul at a place called Agamum, now St. Maurice-on-Valals, near Geneva, Switzerland. But St. Maurice was a Christian, and so were his men, and under his inspiration they refused to obey. This refusal, coming at a time when the Christian doctrine was spreading and persecution of that sect was at its worst, meant but one thing: mutiny of the rankest sort. Maximian, towering in anger, ordered the usual punishment, that is, that every tenth man should be killed. After the slaughter, the Emperor again gave the order to attack, but still St. Maurice and his men stood firm. The Emperor ordered another decimation, and when the troops still refused, he ordered a general massacre. St. Maurice is the celestial saint of adjoining parts of Switzerland, Italy, France and Germany. The Italian decoration, Sardinian Order of St. Maurice, was founded in his honor. At St. Maurice-on-Valais, where he fell, an abbey, which I believe still stands, was also built in his honor. He is the patron saint of dyers, clothmakers, soldiers and swordsmiths. The Catholic Church celebrates his day some time in September. Needless to say, his example gave a great spurt to the Christian cause. Maurice, however, is lucky that Matthias Grunewald got hold of him first for he is the inveterate gossiper to meet the demands, one scarcely can believe that illegitimate are being born, and that the gossipery and the yellow journals are giving less attention to them. The indications are that there is an actual decrease in the production of these unfortunates. But, before we begin to rejoice, several things are to be considered. Because of the sufferings and handicaps which illegitimately entails, and the baneful influence it exerts on society, the decrease in the number of such children must be accorded favorable consideration. But, when are considered the underlying cause to which this decrease is attributable, when the line is drawn and the balance is struck, the moral utility is less apparent. To come to the point, this decrease of illegitimacy is due either to a more enlightened moral conscience, which has been productive of greater continence, a higher sense of moral values and a greater adherence to virtue and rectitude, or it is due to the fact that these "wife ones of the younger generation" are more skilled in the matter of prevention. The indications are that infanticide and abortion have decreased tremendously, and, using the previous argument in regard to gossip and sensational journalism, it is reasonable to conclude that the decrease is real rather than apparent. So we cannot attribute decreased illegitimacy to these causes. The disposition of these other arguments leads to the conclusion Praises the Foremost Art Center of the World just the type that David Wark Griffith or Tom Dixon would have loved to picture as chasing some terrified white woman through the bushes. Other interesting places in Munich are the Opera House, one of the finest in Europe; the Academies of Science, Plastic Arts and Music; the Marienplatz with the Town Hall and Our Lady's Cathedral. Munich is a great center for artists, a place so pleasing in its ways and its architecture that one is inspired to dream. It lies at the foot of the Tyrol or Bavarian Alps. Several of the Tyrolean may be seen on the streets, dressed in their picturesque costume, which consists of a blue-green velour hat with a sort of huge shaving brush stuck end up at the back; a short coat with bright colored vest across whose expense hangs a massive watch chain with large colars; knee-length trousers of chamois leather; golf stockings, a heavy walking-stick, and a knap-sack strapped over the shoulders. I fancy those leather trousers are about as popular with the local tailors as safety-razors are with barbers. Seems to me also that either the washerwoman, or the sheoemaker, or whoever it is that cleans leather pants, has a kick coming. But I understand that the grimmer the trousers, the more fashionable. Hiking seems to be one of the favorite diversions in this region, and many people may be seen with knapsacks on their backs. The cost of living is somewhat lower than in Berlin. I had a clean room with a comfortable bed in a hotel near the station, no hot water, for three and a half marks, or 88 cents; fruitstuck or breakfast, consisting of two rolls, jam, butter and coffee, was 37 cents. I could have had the same in a nearby restaurant for 25 cents, which is 5 cents more than in a New York automat. Dinner consisting of soup, onelette, steak, potatoes, tomatoes and coffee cost, with tip to waiter, $1.50. It was a pretty decent restaurant and my chief purpose in going in was to see how I would be received. The waiter, who spoke French—he had been a prisoner during the war—was very respectful. I was alone in the dining-room, and we chatted a long time. When I gave him my hand in parting he seemed quite surprised. From time to time my mind couldn't help going back to the kind of reception he would have been likely to give me had he found himself in New York or Chicago Instead. In trying to solve my difficulty with the language, I discovered that the best place for seeking information was at the leading hotels. The head porters, or the clerk, all spoke English, and at these also I was received with perfect courtesy. Moreover, the popular belief is that one who is traveling around just to see things must have money, and the very next best thing to having money is to have others believing that you have it. It isn't even necessary to put on the air, nor to say a word; just a bag well-pasted with labels, which you can either buy outright or ask for at the leading hotels in ench town you visit. that this decrease in the birth of unfortunates is not due to more upright living, but to the fact that the young people of today are "wise," and that they are adpts at prevention of maternity. When children are born out of wedlock the mothers are scorned, their fathers condemned, and their families disgraced, and these penalties act as a restraint and a detriment. But these conditions removed, as seems to be true, there is the tendency to "go the limit," since they can do so with impunity. Finally, this condition will interfere with the propagation of the species and the development of home life, for being adepts at prevention while still unmarried, they will not hesitate to use the same methods after marriage to restrict the human output to suit their convenience and their whims. These views and conclusions merit consideration for the conditions threaten dire consequences to the race, the nation, the world! Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON "The Man We Know" A certain tenderness steals into the heart for the man we know. He is closer and better understood than the man we do not know. His faults are more easily overlooked, condoned, than the faults of the unknown. We judge him less harshly than the other fellow. The better we know a man—the more we are acquainted with his personal vexatious, problems, hardships and heartaches—the more easily we sympathize with him and understand him. We cannot hate the man we really know. MAGAZINE PAGE A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD The Origin of Gift-Making LIKE most human proclivities, gift-making has a primitive background. It did not, however, grow out of any thought or idea of generosity or the simple desire to give, for primitive man was selfish and would not part with anything. Primitive man, however, feared the dead and thought that they sent the thunder and lightnig. So he gladly gave food and valuables as gifts to keep the spirits happy. It was his custom to bury with the dead valuable tribal possessions, great gifts of food, clothing and implements. The ancient Egyptians had precious ornaments and rich furniture buried with the men who died. The next step to gift-making was among the living. Savages gave valuables to their chiefs, to their Strong Men, and to their Wise Men, because of fear. As kingdoms arose, servants placed gifts at the feet of kings. If they wanted sunshine, they sent a dozen sheep to the king; if they wanted a good harvest, they would send in costly skins and ornaments. The custom of making gifts to kings spread rapidly. Ambassadors, visiting for-Isa countries, brought valuable gifts to the regents. Gifts meant far more to primitive man than they do to us. When he parted with a choice bearskin or any other valuable gift with any sort of ceremony, he felt that he was parting with scouting akin to himself. Thus the exchange of gifts in primitive culture came to be a common way of ceremoniously binding two persons together. Among African tribes and North American Indians it was a common custom to settle disputes in warfare by exchanging gifts. Early man made gifts to the tribal chief, gods, kings, because he was afraid of what they would do. Modern man usually makes gifts because he is afraid of what people will say. Vanity, to some extent, enters into the exchange of gifts. One chief would like to feel that he can make as rich and impressive a gift as the other. Today we do not like to feel that the gifts we have received are more attractive and impressive than the ones we sent. The exchange of gifts has always played a prominent part in marriage. In Sweden a bride-to-bake makes a shirt as a wedding gift for her husband. He wears it on the wedding day, then puts it away and wears it again when he is buried. If his wife dies first and Your Horoscope By THEARCHER The people who celebrate their birthday on the 15th of February should be particularly careful in signing any legal papers or contracts, since the aspects do not promise much benefit through these matters. Quarrels and letters written in anger will also bring golden worry. Silence is indoors golden for the people of today. These people will do best alone, as partnerships are likely to be decoriful. Diligence in employment is favored, although these people cannot expect more than the average gain or promotion. There seems to be an indication of many small vexations and annoyances through business or social associations. February 16 promises a very successful year in business and employment, especially for those who do work of a confidential nature. There will be some opposition from the brothers and sisters of the people of today, and journeys, especially short journeys, will prove unsatisfactory. This seems to be an expensive year, at least there will be much money spent without value received. This means that investments and speculation will not bring any gain. Friends will be of some aid financially. February 17 begins a birthyear that will bring some rather peculiar experiences to the people of today, to form the social angle, and those who are married will certainly have an eventful year. Those who follow professional pursuits are most favored. February 18 brings in a birthday that will be full of travel, romance and friendship, but some rush promises will be made to and by these people of today. Those who follow artistic pursuits are most favored. The 19th of February begins a rather pleasant birthday in general, and success will come in many ways, although the gain will usually be small. The people who are content with small gains will certainly find this a favorable year. Those who deal in articles and clothing of beauty will gain the most success. Romance is well favored. The birthyear for February 20 is much like that of yesterday. These people will have to be a bit more careful to avoid deceit from others and to avoid giving cause for criticism. Elderly people will bring some favor from the eleventh house, which rules the matters covered by churches, fraternal societies and public organizations. Those who hold positions in these organizations will find their work dependent upon the personal magnetism and charm. Those who are nurses will find the year most favorable. Those who follow mental and literary pursuits will find the birthyear for February 21 to be very favorable. There will be no unusual gain or promotion, but the goodwill and appreciation earned can be turned to advantage. s, gift-making has a primitive however, grow out of any posity or the simple desire to fish and would not part with weaver, feared the dead and murder and lightnig.

Among certain peoples marriage is not considered complete until the bride and groom have exchanged gifts. Among the early Dutch it was the custom to present the newly married couple with gifts of utility, and so start them out in life. It was a custom to display their gifts; however, this custom is falling into disuse. It crossed the ocean to the United States and provailed for a while in fashionable society. Out of this distaste for publicly displaying wedding gifts the idea of the private trousseau tea evolved. The gifts, and the trousseau of the bride if she likes, are on display in an adjoining room at tea, so that her friends may see them. The Romans decided upon the first day of the new year as an appropriate time to make gifts With us the Christmas gift is more popular. The Christmas gift, it is thought, grew out of the desire to emulate the amazing unselfishness of Christ. Gift-making to children is recorded as prehistoric. In various museums actual dogs, animals and other toys are shown to have been taken from the tombs of infants. The custom of presenting children with gifts was pronounced among the Germans in early life. Kris Kringle is their name for Santa Claus, derived from Krist Kindl, meaning Christ Child. Saint Nicholas is regarded as the patron saint of Christmas. We all have our share of the primitive personality; and though the mode of life has changed with the passing generations, the primitive trait of exchanging gifts still remains. Mrs. Lage. Those people should from peculiar mental ideas and plans, especially in regards to romance. Many important changes will mark the year. The next two weeks will be full of changes, delays, and obstacles for many of the folks who observe birthdates during the last week of November and May, and also the first ten days of December and June. None of these people should sign any legal documents or contracts, especially those that deal with houses, land or property. The vibrations impart a nervous and irritable nature to these folks and incline them to be less mentally alert than usual. These people will pass through the period with less distress if they will be content with a reduced income and if they will make no sudden changes or plans. This period will not be good for asking favor or beginning new business entitles. The last week of March will begin a more favorable period for these June and December folks, and by June and center, I also mean the May. November people of the old s mentioned.

Last Sunday night Bob Douglas's Renalissance Five handed out the same measure of punishment to the Queens Professionals that they gave to all opponents who stack up against them, when they defeated the white quintet by the score of 45 to 22. The game was just an ordinary one, the visitors giving the best they had and otherwise showing to advantage, due to the erratic playing of Jenkins and Ricks, both of whom were somewhat off in their receiving and passing. Bob started "Stretch" Hill at center, giving Saunders a rest, Siecum and Jenkins at guard and Saitch and Ricks in their front at forward, Fail still under suspension, was absent, and Mayers injured finger not quite better. The Queens quintet showed a good passing game and kept the ball much in their possession during the early part of the first half, but Hill and Saitch soon got started and began dropping baskets no frequently at the end of the first half the ore was 23 to 10 in the Renalissance favor. In the second half these two young sters continued the good week they started in the first half, and between them scored 28 points of their team's effort and only beat Fail during the entire score of the visitors. The coming week will be a busy one for the colored champions, for they are locked to play the highly touted Ritz Club of Pittsburgh, a colored combination that is supposed to be in the Pittsburgh district, what the Renalissance is in the Metropolitan district. Pittsburghers seem to think that the Ritz Club will extend the colored champs, but we in New York know differently. The game will be contested under amateur rules, which should be an advantage to the Pittsburgh quintet, but even with this handicap the Resistance will win with plenty to spare. Following the Ritz Club game on Sunday, the Assumption Triangles of Brooklyn journey to Muhlenberg on Lincoln Avenue on birthday night Wednesday, February 22. This quintet has always been a hard test for any combination to beat, and wily surely extend the Resistance to the limit. So that the boys will be eight on edge, the managers will be eight on edge, and the entire week will in New York State, where they will be seen in the following teams: Flaschmann, North Creek, Chidwick, Watertown, Syracuse (Vie Hanson's team) and Cohleksill.

IN BEHALF OF "SUNNY JIM" Walk Miller Puts in His Claim and Will Post February 10, 1928 Dr. Romeo L. Dougherty. It seems generally accepted that Gene De Vos, Geo. Courtney, Maxie Ravenhill and Jack McVey are being considered the most logical contender for the middleweight title match for the middleweight "Tiger" Flowers. No one has mentioned the return to this country of the real colored messie of the middleweight division, "Sunny Jim" Williams. Williams are age 41, seat Williams to Australia for five matches, his remained and fought three-five winning fights. He knocked out Harry Collins, middleweight champion, Tommy Ullman, light-heavyweight champion, and twice defeated England's beat middleweight. Leon McCormack also disposed of all other opponents he faced him during his stay, many of whom were heavyweights. Williams was recalled after the unfortunate death of Flowers and is here to play in a boxing Commission next week with a certified check on behalf of Williams. I will not ask for his record entitled him to, the first chance against Mickey Walker, but will place a challenge for any of the contenders and let prove his claim for the title match. Before Passing America for Australia Williams had four notches under my management; he knocked out Jamaica Ki and Billy Toumy and defended Pal Road and Winston Langford. Wilkins is a clean liver, a gentle man both in and out of the ring, is aggressive, a spectacular showman, and is delicate and modest.

EASTERN LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING Joint Session With Western League at Philadelphia, Feb. 21-22 --- PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 11. — The Eastern College League mongels held their first season since the close of the past season at the Philadelphia Y. M. A. In addition to President Eke Boden, the following clubs were represented: Cuban Stars, Alejandro Pompei; Baltimore Black Sox, George Rosier; Brooklyn Royal Giants, Nat. Strong; Hildale Club, Charlie Freeman; Bacharach Giants, Tom Jackson; the Harrisburg Giants, the Harrisburg Giants, was conspicuous by his absence. The Nutter, the Atlantic City attorney, who guided the destinies of the loop during the past season, was reelected for a term of another year. Ed. Boden, who holds the dual role of secretary-reeiver, was also At the meeting like Nutter handed out the information that, in accord with Judge Hueston of the Western League, the Negro National League owners would arrive at Philadelphia Monday, to meet with the league in session the following morning. The place will be the Christian Street Y. M. C. A., and the opening session will convene at 11 a.m. Those who are expected to accompany Judge Hueston are Secretary Quincy Glimcore and the Secretary L. A. Keys and L. A. Brown of St. Louis, Steve Pierce of Detroit, W. E. Trimble of Chicago, Abel Molino of the Western Cuban Stars, C. M. Terrell of the Cleveland Stars, as well as representatives from the Black Harms and the Eastern Reds. The eastern club owners covened over the schedule possibilities for the ensuing season and very likely will discard the split schedule that was put into effect the past season. The final decision the summer of 2014 for the league was withheld, but the general opinion was that if six clubs compose the circuit at least a 50-game schedule would be drawn up. Colored Boys Find Hard Going at Arena At the Broadway Arena on Monday night Benny Hall, crack Negro bantam-weight from St. Louis, won his fight in the semi-final against Katrina in a draw. The Norwegian could not do much damage, as Halla awkward style was very effective. In another bout Danny Flush was awarded the decision over Jimmy Scott, in the white-fighter, as he tried to get out of it by going down twice, charging he was fouled. In the second round Flush went down to the canvas and claimed he was fouled by a low blow. His claim was not denied, as he claimed his feet not on the count of ten. In the third round Flush again went to the door after being held in the stomach by Scott. He again claimed foul, but it was not allowed. Despite the rough brugging he received the hands of Scott, the judge kindly gave him the verdict at the end of the bout.

J.—Before the smallest crowd that has witnessed an Eastern League game thus far this season, Joe Newman's Capitol Club felt before the onslaught of the mystery quintet, better known as the Vangard Postal. Having dropped two previous contests by way of the fordelt route, the Brooklyn team suddenly took on a new lease of life and actually played a game, and how! It seems a pity that these boys are so late in getting started, as there is no telling just where they would be in the league standing had they been able to play according to schedule. This entry, by the way, is composed of the original New York Collegians, erstwhile amateur champions of Greater New York. This is bound to be news to St. Christopher, because only a few weeks back the Collegians nosed out the St. Phillips boys by a scant two points at the 132d Street amusement. VANGARD POSTAL (64).

Jim Sun Wilmith, one of the fighters in the single of Walk Mellor, former manager of the late Tiger Fowers, was knocked out no. and they tried to keep it quiet. In another part of today's paper this is one of the claims being made by Miller for recognition of Williams in a letter to the Sports Editor of The Amateur.

A swift right to Schwartz's stomach terminated the battle. Joe Barraza, representing the Unionport A. C. outpointed Harry Zack, of the Far Rockaway A. C., in a special 128-pound bout. At the last Columbus Council show Zack defeated Barraza in a terrific battle. They were restrained by the last Columbus Council the second encounter was surely a duplication of the first. In the final of the 128-pound class, Joe Harra, U. S. Coast Guard boxer, scored a singular hayo. Barraza landed a heavy punch to Tim Quinn's jaw before he landed on the floor for the count.

BRUCE FLOWERS BEAT "HONEYBOY" It fell to Bruce Flowers to put a stay to the championship aspirations of "Honeyboys" Flinnegan in the week, and if there were those who doubted the fastie ability of the New Rochelle boy said doubts were dispelled when the returns came in. Flinnegan has been one of the best performers in the ranks of the lightweight, and those behind him had good reason for booking forward to a cling in the finals. But Flinnegan has been going great runs and if theiens point aright. Flowers will get the chance which is so justly big. BIG NIGHT Mon., Feb. 20, 1928 Auditorium of St. Charles 213 West 141st St. Entertainment and Dancing EDWARDS HOPES TO BEAT HAHN Seeks Olympic Victory Before Returning to His Home in Guiana WILL RUN FOR CANADA New York University Runner Laid Foundation for Athletic Career Before Coming Here PHIL EDWARDS, perhaps the greatest runner of all time in the history of New York University, cherishes three great ambitions. He has set them as his goal in life. The youngster, barely 19 years of age, wants to beat Lloyd Hahn more than anything else, after that an Olympic victory and finally his degree from the university, so that he can go back home to Georgetown, British Guiana, and settle down for his law and accounting practice and perhaps a domesticated life. "But first," insists Edwards, wistfully, "I want to beat Lloyd Hahn." The attitude of Edwards probably accounts for the fact that he gends in his entry in nearly every race that Hahn expresses a desire to compete in. So far he has been unsuccessful, although he has pushed Hahn to several distance records in the past two years. So far the crude, clumy, unorthodox runner has been a few yards faster than the space-devouring stylist who gets there a little bit behind. It may be said to the credit of Edwards that he is one athlete that won't allow the Nebraskan to work the old Indian sign on him. Hahn, as a rule, licks most of his adversaries before a race, but Edwards simply has to fear complex so prevalent in others. "I'll beat Hahn yet," repeats Edwards firmly, and the repetition hears with it a far-away look of an Alexander dreaming for the world that is his conquer. A year of time has brought forth an entirely different Edwards. This writer remembers vividly when the New York University lad was easily discouraged. During the last season at one of the big club meets Edwards threatened to hang up his shoes because he felt that his style of running was not suited for the indoor boards. Today Edwards has "arrived." Lloyd Hahn is the only runner to beat the lad from British Guiana this year. To that the colored youngster repeats, "I'll beat him yet—and then the Olympics." There is quite a story attached to the early career of Phil Edwards. When he was but a lad of about 13 he was entered in a schoolboy meet in Georgetown, British Guiana, and created quite a sensation by whining six shiny gilded medals, the result of an afternoon's athletic achievement. He brought them home to his dad and his proud father told him of the heroic inds of the first Olympics. "From that day on I dreamed of being an Olympic champion," explained Phil Edwards. "The chance for my dream is realized, for I have been picked as a member of the Canadian team." Phil, although a student at New York University, is not an American citizen, having been born in British Guiana and therefore a British subject. "I will establish a six months residence in Canada and will be eligible to compete for them." "And then? he was asked." "Yes, then back to school for my degree and finally back home to my father."

TATTLERS STILL GOING STRONG On January 28, in Abyssinian Gym, a very thrilling and exciting game took place between the Tattler and Waco girls. The first half ended with the Waco in the lead, but in the second half the Tattlers came back strong. Estelle Richardson proved her ability as a guard, as did Vlola Jackson. The Waco team was starred by Reba McCalla, the N.Y. University varsity star. The Wacos were defeated at Manhattan Casino Dec. 20 by a 19-4 score, but due to the addition of a few varsity players, they were strengthened in their return game. Final score 10-10. The Twelfth Annual Reu AT RENAISSANCE CASIN THURSDAY EVENIR BASKETBALL GAME, 9 P. From Earl Granstaff Hotel Royal, Jan. 25, 1923, Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Dramatic Editor, Amsterdam News, New York City, Friend Dougherty; By accident I got hold of an old Amsterdam News dated Nov. 30. 7. Bound a lot of changes in Harlem. When I left New York the Alhambra was a "Croce Cookell." Have been an American refugees in Europe just four years now, so you can see from the other side. After my return date in Budapest, I went to the Orlent to Constantinople, among the Turks. The old Sultan was a wise man, and those faces had hind vells. The new president, Mustapha Kenal, is a great man, but a little thoughtless in taking off those vells. I imagine going down Seventh avenue and seeing many beautiful eyes, long black, intriguing saylashes, could how that just an ordinary man would forget where he was going, if he got there and forget what he had to say, and when he came out forget where he had been and have to ask a policeman does not know of a street named Lenox avenue—his home. Ask Ike Shaw. After 8 months in Turkey I managed to loose joos and stopped off in Marseilles for 4 months. Had a fine time there in my own villa, facing the blue Madurean cane see with my dog "Jigwang" and a cut "Harvey," that I taught to speak. That's a true one. That's a true one. Met your correspondent there—John Rogers and showed him around a bit. Then back to Paris in a Negro Revua at the Concert Major Theatre, starring Eddie Burk and featuring Willie Rolholz, Sadie Hopkins, Joe Roper and John Roper. Some burgers. After I leave I can say more about it in a few words. Well, give my hello to Burleem. Be back when I hear Ruppert's Brewery has responded and selling beer in the glass.

"Lem" Salmon Gets His Man THE following interesting story taken from the New York World of Monday should be of great interest to our readers, especially as the scenes are laid in that district to which we journeyed last week to secure some information on our Spanish-speaking friends, which appeared on the theatrical page in our last issue. Says the World writer: Sprung up in the very heart of New York City, where the melting not still boiled, was the Athletic Club, a unique group of boys, will celebrate its biennial this month. Out of the squirrel and danger of the streets and the chaos of living standards that come as the leaven of Americanism works among many transplanted nationalities, fifteen boys of diverse races have organized a common program of recreation under the inspiration of a dark-eyed, intense little Spanish Jew and a middle-aged Negro of some means. It was the little Jewish boy's idea. It was the Negro who enabled the idea to function by lending his apartment as a pro-tem. clubroom and by directing the club's activities, gently and often by indirection. Nucleus of Nicea. The nucleus of the present boys, last September played "stickball" a variation of baseball, employing broomstick handles and rubber balls. In 115th street between Park and Madison avenues, where Jewish, Negro, Polish and Greek districts overlap around the colorful open-air bazaar which spreads itself out each morning along Park avenue under the tracks of the New York Central. Fifteen-year-old Isaac Cohen, Spanish by descent, gathered the boys on the stoop of 73 East 115th street, where a good friend lived, Thomas Leon Davies, Negro headwaiter at the Westminster Hotel, 420 West 116th street, and chorelist. When Davies returned home that night he was greeted with the announcement that he had been elected president and treasurer of a club. There was pothole in the door, so even had he not been tickled to death, but to offer the boys his rooms on the top floor of No. 73 as a temporary meeting place. Organization was radd. Davis, by his own admission, is "a fund for books." One of his prized volumes is that of the Harvard Club of New York City, constitution, law, rules and membership list, bought at a second-hand book store. With a little boiling down, the rules served for the Commodore Social and Athletic Club. Important amendments and additions were made to the model, however, such as express prohibition of smoking, drinking, gambling and swearing, and a more flexible rule governing visitors to the museum. Nearly $200 in Treasury. Today the club is prosperous, boasting a treasury of nearly $200, contributed by members' dues and gifts of neighborhood friends. It is growing steadily. The boys—Jews, Greeks, Indians, Poles and Irish Catholics—between twelve and sixteen, are intently proud of their organization, as is their Protestant Episcopal Negro president. They dream now of a clubroom all their own, perhaps the top door next door, where they can have a gymnasium, library and play checkers and dominates when the weather or hour does not permit games in Central Park. They meet Friday night, regularly, although on any afternoon in the library or in Davis rooms reading playing a piano player, or checkers and dominates. On Friday, though, there are ceremonies. First the reading of prayers, Jewish, Protestant and Catholic, in rotation. Then the boys, according to their special gift, conduct the meeting with the reading of poetry by one, a speech on hygiene by another, a group of songs by thirteen-year old Salvatore Hazan, 1701 Madison avenue, who bears the title of club soli, to complete the session. Guests of members always are welcome. Last Friday night there was a checker tournament, won by the Col. M. private secretary and program manager of the club. Through Davis, outside speakers have been brought to address the club; Col. Aff. A. Fitzgerald, a member of the College of Utrecht University, Holland; R. M. Rivus, and H. H. Lind, lawyer. The two first named are associate members of the club. "We got some smart members," confided Ike yesterday. "Frank Silvestro, he's Italian, can draw your picture looking at you." (Silvestro, by the way, has a club title, Club Sign Artist, and works in a novelty company.) "Then there's Apostle Themes, basketball captain, and Milton Dositis, baseball captain, they're Greeks; Joseph Penso, he's official announcer, Jewish, like me, and talks well. William Renghiat, also Jewish, he's club carpenter. His father runs a pushcart in the market." Official Positions Created. All but two new members in the club have official positions, in fact. Two other Cohens, not related to Ike, Joseph and his kid brother, Jacob, are respectively general secretary and usher. Leo Alley is assistant secretary, Benjamin Aguado, whose father is a barber, is vice-president and sport manager. George Gregory, the Polish boy, whose father is a fanitor, is sergeant-at-arms and John Grayney, Irish Catholie, is club spinner, Philip Quinn, another Irish boy, and Harry Maxwell, an Episcopallian, the new members, will doubtless no ngt titles. The dues are 25 cents on entrance 20 cents a week. Admission is open to all, irrespective of race or religion. Election of new members is by unanimous vote after the applicant has been fully discussed for one week. Harvey German, Robert Azouz and Sam Aguado, kid brother of the sport manager, are being considered now. The boys play baseball, football, etc. in Central Park. Uniforms are kept at the homes of the entire captains. In the classroom, under Davis' direction, the captains are held on "wastly important and intriguing questions" though sometimes, to quote the president again, "very humorous, with jokes in many languages." Now, with the background of languages at their command, the members intend to teach each other French, Spanish, Greek and Italian. The organization is growing too large for Mr. Davis' apartment, however, and the boys hope that by saving and with more gifts they can have their own clubhouse. BROWN TO MEET ROBERTSONSOON lomer One of the Best Colored Middleweights in the Country After scouring the country for a suitable opponent who was willing to ride float, Matchmaker Paddle Mask of the A.A. of Boston finally was able to sign Bobby Brown of Atlantic City to meet Honer Robertson, son of Boston middleweight, in the bout of ten rounds on an all-star card at Mechanics' Hall Friday night. February 17. Robertson has been coming along in championship style during the past car. He leaped up from an unknown boxing cinder for the cinderlessenger for Mickey Walker's title. Jill Mullen, Chicago-based promoter, has been trying to homer and Walker for a date at highweights, but Jack Kearns, Walter's pilot, refused the match. Homer is a great ring general. He is clever, clever, can punch with either hand or can take a punch as good as Joe Wanlew was able to take, but not so clever that he could be hit. Everybody that ever fought Robertson can the same thing. At Well, matchmaker of the Olympic Club, formerly known as the Commonwealth club, is trying to sign K. O. Hill Kaplan, local middleweight title holder, to box Robertson here this month and there is a likelihood that he will be the next champion of batting Boston colored boy in an shortly. Robertson is confident he will beat Kaplan decisively if the latter ill consent to fight him. Connie Holmes Making Good in the Ring Clemence Holmes, former local featherweight, who has been making Boston home during the past eight months, is going over big in all his fightings in bantown and throughout New England. Last week he scored another eleworthy victory when he deelylicated Johnny Moore, hard punched Boston featherweight, in the main bout ten rounds at Newburyport, Mass. The Newburyport News sporting all-star fellow is to the sikes for his fighting ability. Connie displayed great fighting kill and clearly won this bout by a good margin in eight out of ten rounds, in the last round Holmes had Moore on his feet by a furious attack, at the bell came to Moore's rescue. Little Mack, of the Argonne A. A. of Boston, and Tom Goodwin, of the buffalo A. A. of Boston, who conduct matches at the Mechanics' Building at Boston Arena, respectively, have been trying to get the Chipman, Chiggs and Saturn' to beat Clemence Holmes, both promoters were unhappy. Each had a different alibi. Suggs did for impossible terms, otherwise acting that he does not care to risk death while Fuller and Chapman could listen to any proposition, praising that Holmes is the officer fighter. Sally Snyder, manager of Homer Jefferson, New England middleweight and light-heavyweight champion, also one of the legitimate claimants of the second middleweight title, is given the third middleweight title, which Holmes in action during his first fight in Boston and at once signed him to a contract. George Godfrey Preparing For Bout With Paolino Telegraphic dispatches from Los Angeles, Calif., bring the information that Philipino "Tupelo down," the Spanish fighter being favored by Tex Rickard, is preparing at a ranch twenty miles outside of Los Angeles for his fight against Word coming to The Amsterdam News from toloffrey stated that the Philadelphia is going through vigorous training in preparation for the Spanish fighter. Godfrey says that all claims of a true fight can be disregarded, as he planning to upset the plans laid by Tex Rickard by knocking out the Spanish. Lee Loses to Harmon Monday night was a bad night for the second pitcher at the Broadway Arena. Hall won against Sanstol, and he gave a draw; Scott lost to Danny Pena and Candida Lee lost the decision in White Sox' win. Considering that Lee hasn't been an long out of the mateurs and that he has been playing a hard campaign among the ones of them, he put up a white boy's team. Harmon, albeit the experience had a lot to do with his victory. REMARKABLE NEW DISCOVERY WHITENS CLEARS AND SOFTENS SKIN ALMOST OVERNIGHT!

Siki Winning When His Head Struck Ring Post The scheduled finish bout between Hans Steinke, sturdy German oak, and Reil Sikl, Montreal Negro, at the St. Nicholas last night, ended dramatically after 47 minutes of mediocre grappling. Sikl applied five headlocks before the ropes, and the Rhinelander. In breaking from the fifth lock, Hans threw his dusky opponent through the ropes. In his fall the Negro struck the edge of the platform post with the back of his head. He hesitated about coming back, but the clan ruled that a swelling behind the ear had developed, forcing the referee to declare Steinke the winner. The German wrestler, completely dazed from the force of the series of headlocks, had just risen from a horizontal position when the裁判 made. The winner hit the裁判 238, to 204 for the Montreal wrestler. Henri Deglane, French wrestler, surprised his opponent, Windek Zybsko, booked as the Polish champion, by earning a 20-minute draw with a fine exhibition of strength and dorsity. Zibby seemed to have maintained his position, the opponent was able to throw the Pole high in the air no less than ten times during the half hour they were on the mat. One of the ten flights landed Windel clean cut of the ring. Zib weighed 224, to 220 for the French entry.

The day group was under the captain of Dr. H. O. Harding and the night group under the captain of William Mont.

Matchmaker Jess McMahon is now looking around trying to induce some of the other claimants to enter the ring with Al, but he is having the time of his life. Recently Brown placed himself under the management of Dumblwaiter, the man who so successfully mounted Chick Suggs for a number of years. Luminsky is on the inside of things fistful, and Brown made no mistake when he signed up with the New Englander. Dave has been one of the most hard-working managers in the game and where others fail, he has found a way for Brown will likely be consummated within the next few days and we will tell followers of the "idol of the Parisians" just when he will start. TUSKEGEE BOYS LOSE TO STATE Coach Abbott Boys Nosed Out in Wednesday's MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 10—After the Alabama State Normal Faculty Five had journeyed to Tuskegee Institute on Wednesday to nose out Coach 34-32 in a thrilling cage encounter, the Abbott and his cohorts to the count of Alabama State boys' five finished up the job in decisive fashion by trimming the Tuskegee cedar game here at Dillard University on Thursday night. Friday afternoon, an management resulted in a rather respectable score of 46-32 for Alabama, while the final game this afternoon became a walkaway for the Hornets, the score being 57-27. In Thursdays' game the Tuskegeans displayed promise and continually threatened to wipe out the narrow lead maintained by the Hornets. Captain Garner, along with Heryl Williams and George Burns, directed a finished floor attack. Mike Harry Holt and Frank Lewis were trying for scoring with 16 and 11 points respectively. Friday's game was the final home game for the Alabama State Hornets and featured the stellar work of Captain Garner, who not only was the only player to play through the entire game because it was his final game on the hemp floor but who led the scoring to 14 points. Frank Lewis, high point scorer, who will rate high in the conference finals, contributed 12 points during his time in the contest, while the rookies held the cage pupils of Coachs Abbott and Owens in low for most of the game. The Alabama State basketeers take their final haunt next week for games with Pisk on February 17-18, with Tennessee on February 20 and with Talladega on February 21-22.

It's a plan that may save you hundreds of dollars annually. p t i a b p l d g r i y An early selection of your apartment home is advisable IT WILL PAY PAY The benefits of co-operative ownership are many. The Tenant-owner assures himself of a permanent home—in this case of a home in a desirable location, which might be prohibitive to him without co-operative organization. Morzover, he assures to himself a thoroughly well-built home, carefully planned for economy of operation and avoidance of repairs. He guarantees himself a residence in a building occupied by persons having his own social standards and ideals. Financially he profits by investing his funds in a safe and sure proposition—one of which his family lawyer and banker will approve. Moreover, he profits in his monthly expenditures, because, while the actual cost of running the building is the same that a landlord would have to pay, the savings that result through the avoidance of unrented apartments, the expense of frequent repairs and redecoration due to change in tenancy, and the large profit that a landlord expects, revert to the "Tenant-owner in lowered "rents." Further financial benefit arises from the 25% amortization of the mortgage, which annually augments the value of the property, in addition to the increased value of the real estate, due to the construction of a fine, modern building and steadily improving surroundings. --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15, 1928 We have in mind a man --- a government employee --- whose practice is to pay a large portion of his earnings towards worthless rent receipts. It took us but a short time to show him that, to attain financial independence, he must stop paying "monthly profits" to a landlord. Now, under our guidance, he has decided to put his slumbering $500 bill to work in the form of an apartment home of his own in Those that will dwell in "LINCOLN MANSION" will enjoy all the economy of home ownership, none of the worries of house ownership.

Wednesday, February 15, 1928 IF THE TWO "fence" bills recently introduced at Albany are enacted into laws it will be a great relief to the public in general and Harlem in particular. The "fence," as most people know, is one who receives stolen goods from a thief and sells them. These stolen goods are known as "hot stuff" and many people in Harlem have innocently bought them. Practically every flat in Harlem is visited at some time or another by suspicious-looking characters trying to sell clothes or other merchandise and everyone has heard of the woman whose fur coat was taken off her in the street by a detective who proved that it had been stolen before she bought it. THIS WOMAN'S mishap would have been averted if she had bought or coat at a reputable store, but the problem is not always so simple as it. The "fences" can deal with all, but supposedly reputable stores. Poor families naturally try to save money, and when they are offered good clothes at a lower price than that of the larger stores they are tempted to buy them. A pawnbroker who did a flourishing business in Harlem was recently convicted as a "fence," bringing anxiety to people who had innocently bought things from him. One may buy jewels or a second-hand automobile and find that they were stolen goods. IN ALL THE THIEVING and burglarizing of recent years one point has not received enough attention: the thief will not steal unless he has a market for his loot. In many cases he is not stealing for himself; he is merely an employee of a greater thief who manages the sale of the stolen articles. THE LAW, strange to say, has worked to the advantage of the "fence." As a theft is generally a secret between the "fence" and the thief it would require the thief's testimony to convict the "fence." But the law holds that the testimony of the thief, unsupported by other testimony or evidence, is not enough to convict the "fence." This difficulty is directly aimed at by the two bills prepared by the State Crime Commission and introduced in the Legislature. One bill would permit the testimony of the thief to be used against the "fence." The other bill provides that any person receiving stolen goods without reasonably trying to find whether the person delivering them has a right to do so shall be held guilty of receiving stolen property knowing it to have been stolen.

A number of other business matters were discussed at the committee meeting, including the proposal Dr. Harding Re-elected to "T. B." Board of Directors Dr. Henry O.

This precaution may be more expensive than buying from irresponsible sources, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Intermarriage THERE has been much ado over the marriage of a white girl of Mayever ancestry to a young colored man in Connecticut. The usual fiery passion was burned and the local miners refused to perform the ceremony. Everybody was worried except the bride and groom and their friends of both races who attended the wedding. THOUGH this paper has never issued for racial intermarriage it has no cause for indignation in this many other similar case. The thing has been done before; in fact, a cent of the black-and-white couples in this country, or in New York alone, might yield some surprising figures. Both marriages may be unwise, but every unwise marriage were precluded there would be few married couples left. Men of seventy might forbidden to marry women of twenty, and poor men might be forbidden to marry at all. Very often the wisdom of a marriage is not apparent even to the keenest eyes till years after the wedding. MARRIAGE was devised to brighten out the relations between men and women. It was found that man and a woman who wanted each other badly enough would get together anyhow, so their union might as well be dignified with the one of marriage. It is safe to say that there are thousands of couples living in concubinage because they are not allowed to marry. If a cold man and a white woman, know the difficulties ahead of them, I love each other enough to take chance, let them go ahead. WEDOW Dr. Woodson NEGRO HISTORY WEEK brought with some eloquent speaking and such useful information. More Neses than ever have come to realize how little they know of their life's history. Too few of them, however, appreciate the importance of history in the making of character. An Englishman, when fighting against odds, is sustained and strengthened by the thought of Nelson, Drake, Wellington and all his national heroes; a Frenchman is hurtened by remembering Napoleon, Roth and Suffren; the German thinks Bismarck, Von Moltke and Fredrick the Great; the Swede of Gusus Adolphus; the Amercian of Washington, Lincoln and Grant. OF WHOM does the Negro think? What great spirits of the past rise more him to nerve his arm and fire his brain? There will be none unless he is taught from childhood the history of his race. There is no ever way to develop the inferiority complex in a child than to let him grow up thinking that men of his age have never achieved anything worth while. With so many well-to-do Negroes in this country it is a name that Dr. Carter Woodson and the Negro Historical Association would have to struggle for funds; they should be heavily endowed.

The Next President FROM the present appearance of things, Secretary Hoover has the best chance of securing the nomination on the Republican ticket, and the Republican candidate has by far the better chance of election, Mr. Hoover comes up from the common, as did Garfield, Cleveland, Harding, Coolidge. It was only the other day that President Coolidge informed a delegation that he could shake hands with the multitude without exhaustion, because he had acquired manipular dexterity by his experience in milking cows. While on the Pacific coast last summer, I spent some time in Berkeley, where the secretary attended the University of California. It is of tradition that he served as laundry agent and waited on tables to earn his way through school. This basic experience ought to give him a broad sympathy with those who are struggling to better their position in the world. Mr. Hoover's career, his character, his executive talent and his great accomplishments on two hemispheres certainly furnish a source of inspiration to all peoples who begin at the bottom and struggle upward towards the top. And yet we cannot always be too sure. If we scan the list of our Chief Executives we find them fairly well distributed between the aristocrats and the common people. Washington, Adams (father and son), Jefferson, Madison and Monroe represented the Brahmin caste of their day and generation. Andrew Jackson broke the series of the nobility. He came from the common people, with the language, habits, practices of his origin. We have since witnessed the rail-spitter, the tailor and the mule driver in the Presidential chair. But it is not always a safe gauge to tell a public man's sympathies by his origin and early environment. It is entirely doubtful whether Harding and Coolidge were in closer sympathy with the common lot of the common man than Taft or Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson, perhaps, showed understanding sympathy for the under dog beyond any President except Lincoln, although the school-master President was of noble cultural descent. Mr. Hoover's experience has not been such as to bring out his disposition in this behalf. And yet there is nothing in his career that would lead us to conclude that the cause of the underman would not appeal powerfully to him, because he himself has been subject to like conditions. Mr. Hoover is of Quaker stock and traditions. Both he and his wife belong to the Quaker household of faith. If religious belief and persuasion any longer influence the attitude of public men towards the practical issues of life, we can most assuredly look to Mr. Hoover for the fullest sympathy and support of the cause of the common people against arrogance and power. The Negro in Literature By THOMAS The Negro in the World's Literature By THOMAS L. G. OXLEY Walter Everette Hawkins Poet (1886 ---) HERE is a poet who is e is his own stylist. War in Warrenton, N. C., education in the public school Hawkins is a poet of much his name is seldom ever me world flow past him, as if he cared to be mentioned by it, poems there is great vigor, feeling. Hawkins' verse is plenitude, amplitude and cont HERE is a poet who is entirely unaffected by style. He is his own stylist. Walter Everette Hawkins was born in Warrenton, N. C., in 1886. He received his early education in the public schools of Virginia. Hawkins is a poet of much genius but of little popularity. his name is seldom ever mentioned. He seems to let the world flow past him, as if he had nothing to do with it or cared to be mentioned by it, while he labors quietly. In his poems there is great vigor, much satire and much tender feeling. Hawkins' verse is agile and various, but wants plenitude, amplitude and continuity. He disdained the element of rhyme, and his rhythmical originality is almost bounded by "overflowing" phrases interposed with more holdness than significance. Composition is a quality which his long poems scarcely show. But he can be strong as well as beautiful, and as sublime as strong. And the great charm of all his poetry is that he makes his description subservient to the display of human lifes and passion, human joys and sorrows, struggles and wrongs. He deans, as the poet of the people, with the life of the people. Before I take leave of this poet, I must allow myself to quote a few passages from his poetical writings. This fine poem is entitled "Ask Me Why I Love You." Ask me why I loved you, dear, I will ask the rose Why it loves the dews of spring At the winter's close; Why the blossom's nectared sweets Loved by the questioning bee, By KELLY MILLER The Negro most especially may expect a most generous attitude towards right and justice in the administration of public affairs. It is well known to students of history that the Quakers throughout our history have taken the leading role in the emancipation of the Negro and in upholding his A. E. — Kelly Miller — guaranteed rights. The dominant motto of the Quaker is "Let your conscience be your guide." The Negro has suffered by reason of the fact that recent statemanship seems disposed to follow the haze of expediency rather than the light of conscience. We, at least at the present stage, have the right to hope that Secretary Hoover, if chosen President, will prove true to the tradition of the faith which he espouses. But here, again, experience compels a word of caution. All that can now be said about the origin, traditions and spiritual inheritance of Mr. Hoover could have been said about Calvin Cookdge four years ago. We were then jubilantly exulting in his New England conscience and philanthropic background. Great things were predicted for the Negro by reason of such background and reinforcement. But candor compels us to say, after five years' occupancy in the White House, our early hopes have not been altogether fulfilled. The spirit and purpose are undoubtedly there. Mr. Coolidge's attitude on the rights and privileges of the race is unmistakably sound. But this attitude, for the most part, remains personal and passive. It is not translated into practical action. Calvin Coolidge seems to possess one disposition towards the Negro and President Coolidge another. How far any President can or will identify his private and his political personality in face of an unfriendly public sentiment remains to be seen. In the meantime, we may fall back upon the never failing assurance of hope. Negro statesmen have already picked Mr. Hoover as the winner. At this stage of the game the Northern Negro does not function. He can only stand aloof and wait until the master voice has been uttered. But the Southern leader, with the almost unerring African instinct, can see in advance and seize the advantage of the keen foresight. Perry How- in the World's nature S. L. G. OXLEY entirely unaffected by style. HeALTER Everette Hawkins was born in 1886. He received his early lessons of Virginia. His genius but of little popularity.entioned.

Ask me why I love you, dear, I will ask the flower Why it loves the summer sun, Or the summer shower; I will ask the lover's heart Why it loves the moon, Or the star-besprinkled skies In a night in June. Ask me why I love you, dear I will ask the vine Why its tendrils trustingly Round the oak entwine; Why you love the mignonette Better than the rue, If you will but answer me, I will answer you. Ask me why I love you, dear, Let the lark reply, Why his heart is full of song When the twilight's sigh; Why the lover leaves a sigh When the heart is true; --- LETTERS ard of Mississippi, Ben Davis of Georgia, Walter Cohen of Louisiana have already sought reservations on the Hoover band wagon. When we stop for a moment to consider that these are the only Negroes who function in primary politics, we may say that the Secretary of Commerce has already secured 100 per cent support of the Negro race. Perhaps I should not leave Bob Church out of the list of Negro political effective. But the toughness Tennessee lives in a state where there are too many leading white Republicans for any Negro to be allowed to sit at the head of the table. If Church represented a state where white Republicans were so few that the party management had turned over to Negro leadership the fortunes of the Republican party, he would show us the genuine effect of Negro leadership. He would unify under one central direction the scattered strength of the race and wield it for tremendous racial advantage. I am not at this writing advised just what the exigencies of the situation will require him to do. But I would not be surprised to see him take the reins of the Hoover band wagon which carries the colored contingent. In the meanwhile the Northern Negro politicians are holding their breath. The time has not yet come for them to declare their allegiance. They must need waits till the party bosses have passed the word. There is little or no spontaneity in their choice. But when the word is passed I expect them to mount the Hoover band wagon with a zeal that will outrun that of the other disciples. Let us hope that our Negro statesmen will not repeat the political folly by which they have unwittingly misled the race for the past thirty years. By rosenate prophecy they have assured us that, if their candidate were elected, the Negro would have every wrong righted and every grievance remedied. We heard this in case of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Harding and Coolidge. Shortly after election extravagant prophecy gave way to deep disappointment and loud denunciation. All of these went out of office leaving the Nixon in deep disappointment and chagrin. This ought not to be the case in the instance of President Coolidge. The others did make campaign promises which, after election, they did not choose to fulfill. But not so with Mr. Coolidge. He promised nothing. If therefore, his accomplishments for the race fall short of expectation, he cannot be accused of unfulfilled promises by way of recognition. One faintly recalls "Fourteen Points" which the Negro political leader of the campaign formulated as the reasonable expectations of reward for the Negro's share in the last campaign. Mr. Coolidge never made a single one of the fourteen appointments, as he never promised one. I trust that Mr. Hoover's Quake honesty will not permit him to make a single promise which he will not fulfill and, at the same time, it is to be hoped that our campaign spokesmen will not deceive us with the expectations of more than we are likely to secure. I would like to see Mr. Hoover the first Republican President since Grant to go out of the White House with the same good opinion on the part of the Negro as that with which he entered. If you will but answer me, I will answer you. Walter Everette Hawkins has more to experience and to write. He may easily be classed above the group of minor poets. And those who have read very closely his exquisite little book of poems "Chords and Discords" should readily see that the poet is on the road to international recognition. John Quincy Adams Heirs Sue to Recover Property WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—A suit to recover ground in Rock Creek Park here formerly owned by John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, and for nineteen years used as a burial plot for Negroes, was filed here last week by six residents of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York and Georgia. The plaintiffs, who claimed to be heirs-at-law and next of kin of President Adams, said the land, turned over to the Colored Union Benevolent Association in 1870 for $2,500, had been abandoned by the latter as a burial ground since 1889 and therefore should revert to the original owners. The land is now appraised at $268 000. The plantiffs are John Quincy Adams Johnson and William C. J. Doollittle, of New York; Eben S. Doollittle, of Rhode Island; Erskine Clement Jr., and Louise C. Clement, of Massachusetts, and Charles A. Doollittle, of Georgia. INTER-RACIAL GATHERING TO CELEBRATE "Y" ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 6.—A huge interracial mass meeting on the boardwalk on February 12 will celebrate the erection of a $150,000 Y. M. C.

One of the principal speakers will be Chan- Lawrence Brown Leaves Paris Soon to Fill Private Engagements Pianist-Composer-Singer Left Alone by Return to This Country of Paul Robeson on Account of His Wife's Illness (By Mail From Our European Correspondent.) PARIS, France.—Lawrence Brown, partner of Paul Robeson and former accompanist of Roland Hayes, will be leaving this city shortly for London, thence to Cannes and Vienna, to fill drawing-room engagements that have been secured in these cities for him by a titled Englishwoman. Mr. Brown, who was left alone by the return of Paul Robeson, due to Mrs. Robeson's illness, will sing and play his own interpretations of the spirituals. Already he has filled several of these engagements in Paris for American residents with success and warm praise. Lawrence Brown, who is a native of Jacksonville, Fl., is a well-known figure on the concert stage both in France and America. Together with Roland Hayes he appeared in rectals in European cities, some of which were before the King and Queen of England, the Princess Victoria and other members of English royalty. He has also been accommodations being the work of Mr. Brown, said: "For these Mr. Lawrence Brown, who is himself a Negro, was responsible and played the piano part. The extraordinary emotional power of these melodies lost nothing by transcription for the 'cello, and Mr. Brown's hair monization, though fairly elabor THE EDITOR Lawrence Brown panist to Roger Quilter, one of the most famous of present-day English composers, as well as to other noted singers and artists as John Goss, Mark Rphael, Earl Spicer, Canadian baritone, and Beatrice Harrison, cellist. Mr. Brown is no less famous as an arranger of Negro spirituals, the most spirited and popular of which is "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho," and which never fails to make a hit with the audience. Speaking of this selection Heywood Brown said whimsically in the New York World: "If Lawrence Brown's arrangement of Joshua Fit die Battle of Jericho does not turn out to be one of the most exciting experiences of your life, write and tell me about it. I might, of course, promise to return the money paid for the tickets in such a case, but I won't. Anybody who can't share this particular enthusiasm of mine would be much better off without money so far as my wishes are concerned." Similar praise has been showered on him from the most critical sources both for his skill as a pianist and an arranger of Negro spirituals. Consulting his scrap-book one sees such bits as the following: The Daily Telegraph, London: "There were two things connected with the recital of Mr. Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor from the United States, that stood out with especial sharpness. Of these one was the particular neatness and finish of the accompanying by Mr. Lawrence Brown, who reminded one of Colorido-Taylor." Again from the Telegraph: "But those who have as yet not heard Lawrence Brown sing Negro spirituels—so far he is best known as the former accompanist of Roland Hayes—are hereby urged to seize this opportunity, Lawrence Brown's mezzo voice singing of these wonderful things is a real experience." The London Times speaking of a recital of Negro spirituels given under the patronage of the Duchess of Norfolk by Beatrice Harrison and her two sisters, the ar- hing H. Tobias, senior secretary of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. During the campaign for the building, employees and hotel managers worked together in close harmony. Walter J. Busby, proprietor of the Dennis Hotel, was a chairman of one group and many other managers offered their assistance. Gets Committee Hearing A. C. Edmunds, 2340 Seventh avenue, was in Washington last week and appeared before the Committee of Appropriations in behalf of the laborers at Ellis Island. Mr. Edmunds, who is chairman of a special committee seeking financial relief, and increased salaries for Ellis Island employees, was favorably heard and was promised aid by Congressman Royal H. Weller, Emanuel Celler, Sol Bloom, Albert Johnson of Wisconsin and others. The action, if favorable, will affect over fifty Negroes rangements being the work of Mr. Brown, said: "For these Mr. Lawrence Brown, who is himself a Negro, was responsible and played the piano part. The extraordinary emotional power of these melodies lost nothing by transcription for the 'cello, and Mr. Brown's harmonization, though fairly elaborate, was always appropriate and never transgressed into the extravagances which disfigure some arangements of these folk-songs." This recital had at least the effect of winning over a columnist in the London Daily Graphic to the Negro's side, for after hearing it he said in mentioning the work of Lawrence Brown: "I wonder why I made such a fuss about black revues in London." The Pittsburgh Sun: "Lawrence Brown, baritone-toner (vocal teachers please observe, as he sang with ease in ooth registers) proved to be quite as accomplished a vocalist as he is a pianist, and that is saying a great deal." Together with John Payne, Roland Hayas and Paul Robeson, he has made some twenty records for the Victor, Aeolian and Columbia companies. Speaking of his work at an Orthaphonic rectal given in Philadelphia, the Evening Bulletin of that city (Oct. 8, 1926), said: "Lawrence Brown was heard with the same clarity. It is said that this is the first, time the photograph has been capable of reproducing the voice of a singer playing his own accompaniments." The N. Y. Evening Telegram: "By the same token, Mr. Brown's harmonizations of most of the spirituals on last night's program merit the highest commendation for the understanding and fine sense of fitness they disclose." And so on goes the praise for Mr. Brown's triple accomplishment. Mention, however, must be made of Roland Hayes' own tribute to his former accompanist. Writing in New York Age Hayes said: "Mr Lawrence Brown, my most admired accompanist, is a fine asset to the Negro race. He is looked upon as one of the finest accompanists in England today. It is difficult to know which of us is the more appreciated. In fact, we are accepted as pars in our respective fields." Mr. Brown studied in Boston and London for five years. This is his sixth engagement in Paris. The height of his ambition, he says, is to write a geniale Nogro opera on Negro themes, and when his present engagements are ended he says that he intends to resume his work in composition under his former London teacher. In addition to his musical skill, Mr. Brown is a well-read man, keeping in touch with the best in literature and science. Shakespeare, Anatole France, Dorsey and Ludwig Lowisow are among his favorites. In a recent drawing room engagement of his in which the writer was present, it was difficult to say whether it was the brilliance of his conversation or his musical skill which was the most appreciated. Artists like Lawrence Brown, William Lawrence, Roland Hayer, and John Payne are just now doing a tremendous lot to put the Negro still further on the map in Europe.

Mystery SPECTRAL hands that wildly reach Thru the misty day— Faces that I seem to know— Follow in my way. Like a flash there comes a thought Fleeting to my head— If it's not the living, then— Can it be the dead? WHEN the chilly winter wind is wheezing, wheezing. Roaring thru the crisp air— Thru the giant woodlands bare— With freezing, freezing— Fast the moon its quiet way Is climbing, climbing. Empty—gone—another day— While I waste my time away— In rhyming, rhyming. —IDA ALEEN COOKE
