After collecting $1,000 in a plot to blackmail John Gibson, owner of the Dunbar Theatre, Broad and Lombard streets, and the Standard Theatre, Twelfth and South street, a man was captured Saturday night when he went to the designated spot to collect a second $1,000. For the past two months Gibson has been receiving letters threatening his life. The first letter ordered the theatre owner to place $1,000 at a marked spot at Nineteenth and Lombard streets, stating that if he did not do so he would be killed within a week. Fearing that the blackmailers would kill him if he turned the letter over to the police, Gibson placed a package containing stage money at the place named in the letter.

The missive stated that he had only three days to live if he did not place the money at the designated place. Realizing that the plotters meant business, Gibson placed a package containing $1,000 in bills of small demonstration at the spot.

For Negro workers, who are frequently the first to be discharged, the situation has resulted in sufferers and a disproportionate number of appeals to relief agencies. Denip appears to be the only exception of the large cities that reported improvement for January. One office in Cleveland was able to place only 186 Negro men and women out of a total of 2,177 applicants. The Department of Public Welfare of Philadelphia reported the most depressing period within the past ten years. New York, where unemployment conditions have so greatly disturbed the whole State that the Governor has asked the State Labor Commissioner for a report of conditions, "is experiencing one of the most pronounced periods, of unemployment it has known" since 1921. Charitable organizations are receiving more calls from jobless people than at any time since the war." In Chicago the labor situation among Negroes was regarded during the month of January as "quite brutal and unemployment mounts during the month. From Los Angeles to New York and from Boston to Tampa reports show that the restlessness of Newgran workers who, in a vain attempt to work move from city to city is one of the perplexing problems social anxiety faces. Through the middle West there is a continual movement between Chicago, Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee, between Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus and Pittsburgh the restlessness is quite evident.

On the fifth floor Cundiff was in the kitchen with Walter Kelly, a roomer, and Mrs. William Lewis, owner of the apartment. Other roomers were still asleep in bed. Both men looked out the kitchen window and saw the fire below. Kelly said to Cundiff, "You go into the next room and go out the fire escape."

He lived at 303 West 136th street. Unusual courtesy was extended to him at Harlem Hospital, where he was given a private room, a special nurse and every other comfort that would be conducive to his recovery. Mr. Downing was taken suddenly ill about a week ago and was removed to Harlem Hospital. He had been allied for some time, but was not bedridden until Sunday night, February 12, the birthday of the great emancipator, whom he knew intimately. Mr. Downing was also the godson of Frederick Douglas, whose birthday took place the day before he was taken ill. Prof. J. A. Meyers, Jubilee Singer, Dies The news reached here on last Saturday that Prof. J. A. Meyers, the noted jubilee singer of Flak University, and one of the most distinguished men in the New Death came as the result of disease of the heart and bronchial trouble. He is survived by a widow, Margerita Downing, white, and a half-brother, John Wharton of Brooklyn, who is very ill. There are several more distant relatives. Funeral services will be held today at one o'clock at Duncan Brothers Funeral Parlor, 2103 Savenhill Road, Brooklyn, and be conducted by Thaddens Stevens Post of Civil War Veterans. The body will be cremated and the ashes given to Mrs. Downing, who said she may decide to bury them in Cypress Hill) Cemetery in the Downing plot. Downing met his wife, who is an English woman from a prominent family, when he went to England about the year 1830 to assist in the introduction to the British public of S. Coleridge-Taylor in his first London appearance. Mr. Downing arranged the concert through the efforts of Colonel John Hayes, American Ambassador to Great Britain. Paul Lawrence Dunbar appeared on the same program. Father Saved Bennett Mr. Downing was an unusually active man for his age and was a very well-known figure on the avenue. He was the grandson of Thomas Downing, who during the great fire here in 1855, gave the city a cellar full of vinegar, which was used to put the fire out. According to Downing, his grandfather came to the rescue of the late James Gordon Bennett of the Herald, who was almost broke and the paper about to go to smash. After Bennett appealed to friends for funds without success, Mr. Downing's grandfather is said to have mailed him a check for $20,500 and saved the Herald. Mr. Downing enlisted in the Navy August 23, 1864, as a substitute for his stepfather, Jacob H. Wharton, who, according to Downing, was afraid to go to war. He saw service aboard the Pawtuxet and the Winoska. His first leave of absence, obtained at his mother's request, was to attend the funeral of Wharton. His mother would not let him return to the ship, he said, and he was booked as a deserter, although the war was now over. However, in March, 1921, the Secretary of the Navy removed the charge of deserition and a certificate of honrable discharge was issued to Mr. Downing. Having been placed in good standing, Mr. Downing believed the Government owed him $80 bounty for serving in Wharton's place. The Government ruled otherwise, saying that Wharton had never been drafted. In 1924 Representative Royal H. Weller agreed to offer a bill to cover the peculiar case of Mr. Downing to enable him to get his bounty. Special interest was attached to the case at this time, as Mr. Downing had, in the meanwhile, held a very important Government position and was at one time a very rich man. During President Cleveland's administration (1855) Mr. Downing was appointed United States Consul to St. Paul de Louda, Portuguese, West Africa. He was later a wealthy shareholder in the Liberian Development Company, Ltd. After he resigned his Consulship Mr. Downing returned to this country and told President Cleveland that Liberia should get United States capital and begin developing its resources and raw materials, or others would do it for her. He was given $500 and promised more if needed and told to proceed with the project, it is said. Mr. Downing was unable to interest American capitalists and later went to London, where he succeeded. He was afterward successful with the plan in this country, it is reported, and was instrumental in having Liberia send here the commission which conferred with President Roosevelt. At one time the Liberian Development Company paid him $150,000 by check, but Mr. Downing demanded gold. He was given the gold, but found it was too much to carry and he returned it and took the check THROUGH FAR WEST George S.

Meyers, Jubilee Singer, Dies The news reached here on last Saturday that Prof. J. A. Meyers, the noted jubilee singer of Fisk University, and one of the most distinguished singers the Negro race has produced, died at his home at Nashville, Teenu, following a year's illness, due to overwork. He was regarded as one of the most famous jubilee singers of the world, and one of Fisk's best products. For over twenty-five years Prof. Meyers traveled as the leader of the Fisk University singers, both in America and Europe. In 1925, as the leader of the Fisk University singers in Europe, he appeared before the royalty of England and won the highest commendation for the interpretation of Negro spirituals. The Fisk singers have toured Europe over six times, with Prof. Meyers as leader, appearing with pronounced success in France, Germany, Italy and Spain. It was in 1839 that Prof. Meyers joined the singers, shortly after his graduation from the university. Dunbar Apartments Burglar Is Held Denied Bail Because o Police Record—Case to Go Before Grand Jury Charged with burglarizing two homes in the new Paul Laurence Dunbarn Garden Apartments. 2588 Seventh avenue, Joseph Turner, 37, alleged professional burglar, 349 West Fifty-ninth street, was held without ball for the Grand Jury when arraigned last Wednesday in Heights Court before Magistrate McQuade. Turner is said by the police to have a record of over ten years in Sing Sing on charges of burglary and five years in the Workhouse for carrying concealed weapons. William Watson and Arthur Campbell, special officers at the Garden apartments, caught Turner in apartment 5-C leased by Laureuse Dougherty after he also robbed apartment 6-G leased by Sarah Daniels. Turner had entered both places by way of the dumbwaiter. He fought the two officers and broke Officer Watson's hand with a blackjack and scared Officer Campbell on the left hand also. It is said. The burglar was finally subdued and marched down to the West 135th street station, where he was placed under arrest by Detectives Winter halter and Boyden. Upon searching him part of the stolen jewelry from both apartments is said to have been found in his possession. In a story in last week's issue The Amsterdam News erroneously stated that Special Officer J. McDonough captured Turner, but McDonough was off duty and did not participate in the capture.

Saturday night he went to his wife's home where he found the man with whom his wife had clooped. This man, Peace said, was a drug addict. Peace assassinated the man, who managed to escape from the house. Mrs. Peace doubted the charges made by her husband. She testified that the man was only a boarder in her home and that her husband came to the house and created a disturbance. She ran from the apartment and returned with Policeman Tracy of the West 123d street station. The policeman testified that Peace had barricaded himself in the apartment and that he was oblited to force his way in to arrest him. Peace was found guilty of a charge of disorderly conduct and remanded without bail for probation investigation and sentence Wednesday. 一 Man NEW VORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22, 1928 Dr. C.

Argument With Jeweler In Street Causes Arrest Noval Marshall, 23. 201 West 123rd street, was held in $1,000 ball for a further hearing when arranged Friday before Magistrate Stern in Harlem Court for possessing a slingshot in violation of the Sullivan Law. The arrest of Marshall followed a dispute he had at 125th street and Lenox avenue with David Levine, a jeweler, 1632 Amsterdam avenue. He charged that he sold Marshall a watch on the installment plan and that after paying $1 down Marshall disappeared. Levine met Marshall at 125th street and Lenox avenue and demanded either the return of the watch or the balance of the money due. An altercation ensued and Detective Chiquette of the West 123rd street station who was passing arrested Marshall. In his possession the detective alleges she found a slingshot. SALE NOW GOING ON A speakeasy holdup and robbery at 8 o'clock Sunday morning may result in the death of one of the bandits, who was seriously wounded by a policeman. With drawn guns, three unknown colored men entered the speakeasy at 401 Lenox avenue, corner 130th street, and another stood outside as a lookout. The bandits held up and clubbed the bartender, Louis Porce, white, 869 Whitlock avenue, and riffed the cash register of $75 and took $2 from Porce's pockets. No one else was in the place at the time. Then Louis Reda, white, 2218 Lyon avenue, came along and was warned by the lookout not to go in, but Reda went in. Reda's exit was infinitely more hasty and a cry for help was upon his lips. Patrolman James Eagar heard the cry and came on the run. He saw three men dart south and, as he neared the place, the last man shot northward and then west on 131st street. The patrolman run after the last man, shouting a command to halt. He fired three shots in the air and he took an object from his left pocket. Then he fired the man and the bullet pierced his arm. Patrolman Eagar was now gaining on the fugitive, who turned and reached into his right pocket. A second shot from the policeman's gun brought the man to his knees with a bullet in his chest. When Egar reached the prostrate figure he found a gun and heavy blackjack in his possession. He hailed a passing taxi and took his prisoner to Harlem Hospital, where Dr. Mackie reported his condition as very serious. The man was still conscious and gave his name as James Blanders, 28, 134 West 128th street. He was arrested and charged with robbery and felonious assault. The identity of the other three robbers is still unknown. The gun and blackjack taken from the prisoner were curned over to the desk lieutenant at the West 135th street station. Brings Suit Against Lafayette Theatre Suit for $3,000 was filed in the Supreme Court Saturday against the owners of the Lafayette Theatre, 2227 Seventh avenue, by Joseph Messiah, 450 St. Nicholas avenue, for injuries he sustained in a fight with ushers on October 2. He alleges in his suit that he was brutally beaten into unconsciousness when he attempted to occupy a vacant seat in the theatre. This, however, conflicts with the testimony given in the Heights Court following the incident by one of the ushers, Rafe Davis, 133 West 140th street, who stated that Messiah wanted to occupy a loge seat when his ticket called for one in the balcony. He also claimed that Messiah struck the first blow. It is the contention of the plaintiff's counsel, R. C.

Aged Man Held as Arson Suspect Police Believe His Arrest May Solve Numerous Harlem Fires The police believe they have caught the firebug who has started so many blazes in this immediate territory. He is Harvey Goodall, 69, 189 West 134 street, who was arrested last Wednesday morning at 2554 Eighth avenue, where an incendiary fire was discovered on the stairway of the second floor. In his possession was found a quantity of waste similar to that which was found on the stairway and his hands smelled of .kerosene, detectives said. Mrs. Christina Lyonetti, white, a second floor tenant, discovered the blaze at 2:50 a. m. and her husband extinguished it and called the fire department. Detective Duane of the West 135th street station came on the scene to assist the investigation by Fire Marshal Martin Scott. Shortly afterward Goodall came on the scene to see what damage was done. Mrs. Lyonetti and Jennie Hicks, a tenant, told the police they had seen Goodall on the premises about 9 o'clock the evening before. The old man was questioned by Detective Duane and was evasive in his reply.

Austin Pierce, 32, 262 West 151st street, is under arrest, charged with being the thief in question. When arraigned in Heights Court last Wednesday, before Magistrate McQuade, he was held without bail for a trial in Federal Court on a charge of stealing mail.

Patrolmen Beverly and Bevans of the West 135th street station were called in and Pierce was arrested. Reid identified him as a former tenant who roomed with Edward Hennessy in Apartment 1 on the ground floor. Hennessy was dispossessed for non-payment of rent last week, the superintendent said. Pierce dropped some of the letters when he attempted his getaway. He was searched by Beverly and Bevans, who said they found ten checks and a number of postal money orders in his possession, together with some letters. The letters which he dropped were also included in the evidence against him. was found in his possession and the odor of kerosene was noted on his hands he was placed under arrest. He denied having anything to do with starting the fire.

My Skin is Softer, Lighter and more Velvety Since I Started Using DrFred Palmer's SkinWhitener Miss Willie Robinson, of West Chester, Penn., says: "I received the trial box of Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener and Powder some time ago, and was so pleased with them I went to my drug store and bought some more. My skin is a perfect success. I will never be without Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparations." Placing the Piano GRANTED that music is such a vital element in our lives it bebehooves us to give a thought to the instrument which produces it. So likely are we to associate music with sound alone that we forget that it may have value and meaning to the sight, and that the instrument through which it comes to us may have as much personality as a human being. Usually, it is the piano that we find in the home, for it is the instrument most commonly played and the one that is used to accompany all others. There is no more funeral sight than a huge box of a piano, its keyboard closed and itself crowded back into the farthest corner of the room. It speaks more loudly against the inhabitants of the house than does any chord struck upon its wires, since the very position of the instrument in the room displays the esteem in which it is held and the value that is placed upon its message. It is the grand piano that suffers greatest indignities. It is far superior to the upright in hue and decorative possibilities, but its size presents a difficult problem to the average household. To minimize this problem, the instrument is frequently pushed into the dark. With the FRATS The Scrollers Club, the pledge group to the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, was entertained at a smoker on Sunday afternoon, George Kedd, 11S West 130th street, was host.

It should be placed well out from the wall, the graceful curved side toward the room, and if possible, at such an angle that anyone entering the room can see its keyboard. These requirements are not always easy to comply with, especially in the living room of the average apartment house. The keyboard should be open. There may be no one at the moment to play upon it, but an open piano has an inviting and hospitable air. This has a practical side also, for ivory keys, when shut away from light, soon become very yellow. Music upon the open rack is just another touch, small but important, indicative of the musical taste within the house and showing that the piano is really used. The shiny expansion of the grand piano top may be relieved with a piece of drapery; display your rare bits of tapestry brocade, or an old Paisley shawl. This talk has been merely on the piano. Space will not permit me to discuss the arrangement of the other furniture in the room, but in a short time I shall discuss especially the lamp, chair, cabinet and other pieces that must necessarily go along with the piano to get the desired effect.

Renaissance Five, that doubt should be relegated to the honeydew after the severe drubbing the celebrated Ritz Club got Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino by the score of 78 to 21. With a house packed to capacity with fans, most of whom must have felt as sure of the results as the writer, but who, nevertheless, came out to see Pittsburgh's host, the Renaissance completely outclassed the Smoketown contingent in every department of the game. The Pittsburghers are a good, fast and game team, and doubtless a successful one in their class, but when they tackled the Renaissance and vied for championship honors they stepped entirely out of their class. The irresistible attack, impregnable defense, and rapiper-like pass characteristic of the New Yorkers were things the visitors were not accustomed to, and so perfect did the champions perform those several functions, that at times it seemed as if the Ritz boys did not know what it was all about. From the start of the game you could get determination. In every move of the great Renaissance team, and we have a sneaky feeling that Bob whipped something in their ears about the great Leoeni team of years ago, which made a bit of a stir in New York and returned to Pittsburgh with great New York scrape hanging to their belts. But those days are apparently gone forever, and when we say "World's Colored Champions," we mean just that. Though the visitors gave the best they had, and kept within fairly good shooting distance of the Renaissance, the score at half time stood 33 to 14 in the second half, however, the champions were victorious up to half-time, and with Bob still waving that Leoeni red flag in the faces of his team, they gave no quarter and only allowed the Ritz Club seven points in this half while they were dropping them in from parts of the court for 45 more points.

YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH IT IN ENGLAND A performer living in England has sent The Amsterdam News the following obituary from one of the leading lawyers: "You group after two trials of living on the earnings of a woman, Randall Jones, 29, a black man, described as a wheelwright, was sentenced to 18 months' hard labor and to recoup 18 strokes with the wrist. It was stated that Jones and a woman in Cambridge circus and persuaded her to live with him. They lived together for about eight weeks, and she supplied him with money estimated to be a day. He was made to money from her log. He helped himself to money from her log. A juror told the judge he would not agree to a verdict in a thousand years. As a result the jury was discharged and a fresh one emanated. Jones had no conviction for a similar offence." ST.

Sikl has been casting a dark shadow over the firmas already are beginning to give him a wide berth. Not the least of these is Joe Stecher, who, being offered a boat with Sikl at New Ridgewood Grove recently, declined most respectfully but none the less firmly. Hans Steinke, "uncrowned champion," has had two affairs with Sikl, one at the Grove months ago, limited to 30 minutes, and which went the limits with Sikl giving him plenty ofouble throughout. A week ago the two met in a finish match at the St. Nicholas Rink, and being unable to pin Sikl's shoulders to the mat, Hans lifted his rival bodily and tossed him out of the ring—which is one way of winning a wrestling match. Sikl is hot after another finish match with Big Hans, or any other of the leaders. Meanwhille the duke warrior will face Cyclone Reas, of Germany, in the 30-minute match after a court at New Ridgewood Grove tonight, Tuesday, February 21. Reas is a good wrestler. But so is Sikl.

In a special bout Stelinke undertakes to toss Tommy Draak in 30 minutes.

"I want action, and I don't care who I meet," Sikl loudly proclaimed. "London, the Greek Athens, who makes the wrestlers who like the rough going, promptly agreed to take on Sikl. Rutting action to words, Sikl was about to climb all over London when Curley beamed and demanded them. "That's no way to do things.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York LEW Wr Lewis Brings Up Heavy Artillery and Lays Waste Claims of S. Tutt Whitney Former Dramatic Critic and Associate Editor of Messenger Magazine in Brilliant Reply to Entertainer Proves Knowledge of Existing Conditions The Following Article Is One of the Best Contributions on Negro Theatricals Ever Made to a Newspaper and the Dramatic Editor of The Amsterdam News Takes Pride in Presenting It By THEOPHILUS LEWIS A few weeks ago I got up in meeting and delivered a brief but somewhat poppy discourse on the shortcomings of Negro actors. I charged the majority of them with being unpatriotic, incompetent in their calling and degrading to the cultural life of the race. Promptly Salem Tutt Whitney, a veteran of the stage, rose from the seat of authority to give me a cuff on the ear and put me in my place. He gave me to understand that the next time I speak out of turn I won't get off so light, and he emphasizes his warning with omnious glances in the direction of his old but still serviceable rattan. Mr. Whitney's warning fails to quiet me. After stuffing a soft pillow under my shirt and inserting a copy of Oliver M. Saylor's "Our American Theatre" in the seat of my breeches, I again rise in meeting to give colored actors Hall Columbia. For the time being I will concentrate on Mr. Whitney. By selecting Mr. Whitney for the spotlight I am giving the Negro theatre better than an even break. He was won success, as success goes on the Negro stage; he is familiar with the history of colored show business, and he is able to set his opinions down in clear and forceful writing. Not many colored actors possess either his ability or his background. He is not the best our stage has produced. A few talented individuals have surpassed him. But he in so far above the average that the average is flattered when he is selected as a representative of the profession. EIGHT Let us take a closer view of Mr. Whitney; not to compare him with his fellow members of the profession this time, but to test the accuracy of his opinions and the soundness of their implications. What kind of man and thinker do they reveal—a man of professional acumen? Yes, to a limited extent. A man who understands the relationship between the departmental offices of the theatre and their relative importance, a man who further realizes the significant part the theatre should play in the cultural life of his people. Not at all. Instead, we see that the ability of his profession and that of his people with other races, a man with a close horizon and almost void of patriotism. If it is a true close-up of a man who stands high above the average of his profession—and I propose to show him that he is not the mean of that profession. Obviously, the profession as a whole must be the degradedly stupid and vicious in his influence on the race. I say Mr. Whitney doubts the ability of his profession. "When" he asks, "will ever the actor force the public to accept a form of entertainment it did not desire?" The answer is every actor. All she describes is following it. For Lillie his certain actor used to make him a certain role in the stage. Did the actor in question wait for the public to hold mass meetings and demand that act? Or did he think it up, spring it on his first audience as a big surprise and make them like it? The result of successive slight innovations. The trouble with the Negro stage is only a few actors seem capable of inventing one idea, and the vast majority are capable of none. The actor just referred to apparently exhausted his brain power when he conceived the idea of leading the same stuff yet, the mule must be dead. The actor who is a helpless puppet, the hands of producers and the owners is simply an incompetent actor. The actor who has created a following cast can always suggest an innovation. When when he goes to a manager and asks can always your house, do I not? Nothing ever suggested has proved a proof. Why do you assume this new idea of mine is bound to go wrong? Besides, if it doesn't pay off I can go back to the manager, because the actor has always been box office success in the past he will be ready enough to listen to him, for the manager has only one aim—to make money. In this way a comedian can advance from one novelty to another. The only condition is that the actor—not merely in public entertainer. There is still another way in which an actor with a following can capitalize his ability for the benefit of his ideas. He can use the box office percentages until he becomes substantial enough to produce on his own. He will then be in direct contact with his audience and in a position to scale up the quality of his amusement. He can claim that he is assuming, of course, that the actor has vision and ideals as well as a following. Such an actor is by no means a marionette which must be controlled by the managers pull the strings. To say that actors like Al. Jolson, Eddie Cancelor, Walter Hampden and the Barrymore amores are puppets in the hands of playwrights and producers is sheer non-The reason why colored actors selenon reach the point where they can influence managers effectively is because THE HALL JOHNSON NEGRO CHOIR Under Management of THE Concert Guild PYTHIAN TEMPLE 135 West 79th St. Wednesday February 29 8:30 P. M. For Reservations, Tel. Endicott A 100, Hall Johnson Studio, 239 B 35th St. G. Rigano LEWIS IN BRILLIANT REPLY TO WHITNEY Writer in Splendid Defense Proves He's Right very few of them have a real following. At this moment I can think of only one actor and one actress who have anything distinctive to offer. The rest are on the same level of inferiority. What Podo Green did last week, Emmet Anthony is doing this week and Slim Henderson will do next week. Week after week brings a continuous succession of mediocre and bad actors troubling through the Negro theatre, all-housing, singing blues and spelling, computer in practically the same way and hardly one in a hundred attempting anything novel enough to distinguish him from the others in the slightest degree. Since all are equally lacking in distinction, their audiences have little reason to prefer one above another. This condition naturally gives managers the upper hand. They do not have to face the problem of engaging actors with original and peculiar talents which appeal to definite groups of the public. They only have to put different names on the billboard. Any name will do except the one headlined last week or the week before. The show will be the same anyhow. Realizing they are at a disadvantage, colored actors become more and more timid and distrustful. Because they are unable to influence managers or impress the public, they doubt that it is possible for any other actor to do it. Thus the morale of the entire profession is weakened until even outstanding actors are unable to perform well, puppies dependent on the whims of more competent people outside the profession. LACKS PATRIOTISM. I say Mr. Whitney distrusts his people and that his patriotism is only skin deep. He says: "If we attempted to enact a portrayal of Toussaint Ouverture we would most likely have to make the best patriot do the black bottom to get him over." The Warrior is an amusing statement. Bolled down is it means that American Negroes are a race of fools. Worse than that. It is they are almost as deficient in race pride and self-respect as Negro actors. It has been said often enough that we are a humorous and laugh-loving people. Those of us whose mental age is somewhat higher than that of the infants who regularly patronize movies. Like most healthy Americans, we enjoy the utterance of Charlie Chapin, the cross eyes of Ben Turpin and the pie throwing, lisp-tip comedies. But Milton Slik does not have to wear 30-inch shoes to get over his doughnut. Douglass has to tuck his elbow love with a huskberry cake to make us appreciate him, nor does Greta Garbo have to put a tack in John Gilbert's chair to make us like the picture. On what grounds does Mr. Whitney assume that while we like to see the romance and humor of our friends, we can see our own portrayed as fool's. I do not think Mr. Whitney took much thought before he set that remark down in black and white. But, as we psychologists know, it is by their involvment that we reveal their deepest feelings. Deep in his heart Mr. Whitney believes that Negroes are an ignoble race whose members are convinced of their own inferiority. He believes we are so bereft of self-esteem that we general doing the black bottom leading an army doing the Charleston is the only thing we can appreciate. He believes that achievement, ambition, love and heroism, to say nothing of the world, would not appeal to us. In short, he believes that Cole Please is right. Mr. Whitney's attitude is typical of the profession. Men who habitually disarrange their group are naturally unpatriotic. Patriotism is the result of pride in race or place of birth. No man can be proud of a race which he has not participated in. No man can acclaim, believing their group cannot appreciate anything but buoyancy, are consequently unpatriotic in philosophy and disloyal in conduct. They are ever ready to desert a colored audience for a chance to play before a colonial producer when a white public performer at any member of his companies at any time. In a way, their conduct is at least logical. If I felt the same way they feel, that my race was a race of aliens without a single noble quality, I would be unpatriotic too. I would get angry at someone who is a straightener and couple of hoopers of the skin bleach and claim to be a Malay fresh from Malaria. So long as men like Mr. Whitney compose the main personnel of our stage—and I say again he represents its best thought and ideals—it will never catch up with the general progress of the race. Our stage needs new blood, new ideas, new ideas, new men and women, new young actors courage enough to break away from the blackface tradition and the burlesque show technique of the Uncle Tona who have dominated it for twenty years. It needs young actors with intelligence enough to amuse an audience without disgusting themselves as mandrills. It needs young actors with the vision to see that pathos as well as an art. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22, 1928 Young Producer Offers His "Merry Whirl Revue" This Week Gorgonous and daringly costumed in settings of dazzling splendor, with a most liberal sprinkling of comedy, dancing and sweat music, Leonard Harper's "Merry Whirl Revue" opened a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on March 15, 2014, and roves seen in months and the audience showed its appreciation by calling the performers back for encore. Margaret Sims, Madeline Batt, Will the Jackson, William Ear, Shakey Beaely, Banks and Burnham, Smith and Golden and George Phillips head the cast. Some aggregation! The chorus is composed of the girls from Connie's film and the music was rendered between unpredictable and the leader's ship of laffy Tibbs. All of the principal characters in this revue are well known to Harlem. They have never appeared to better advantage and "The Merr, Whirl Revue" is better entertainment of the kind than Harlem had before a hazy day. "The Valley of the Giants." Milion Sills' latest starring vehicle, the photoplay feature for the week. Theatre Boys to Gambol March 6 Alhambra Theatre to Be Scene of Big Midnight Show The act time the Theatre Boys are awarded at the Alhambra Theatre in a midnight gambol many of their friends not only expressed delight with the splendid will furnished lovers of the best in theatricals in Harlem, but told them it would be a wonderful thing to try and perform. This was impossible, for it is hard to assemble a list of artists such as will grace the coming midnight gambol at the same theatre on the night of March 6, but led by their energetic president, George Caldwell, the boys decided that once in the play they would heed the call if the community and bring something big and extraordinary. No 'twil be a big night when the curtain slowly ascends on the splendid suit secured for those making the trip to the Alhambra. We respectfully direct the attention of the playwright to the display adjoining, giving a detailed list of artworks to appear, and to all hands use their They have never failed in bringing to triumph something which makes the populace long for more, these Theatre Boys, and the night set aside for this specially arranged show should be another big boy who first through Vincent Lopes and a host of other high priced artists down from the line to entertain colored Harlem. Signs of the Times Point to Something New Rumor Says That Ida Anderson Will Appear in Dramatic Playlets Soon On the wings of rumor came the information to this office that it is most likely a noticeable change will be seen at one of the principal Harlem theatres with the aim of making the audience that at least one theatrical manager has seen the signs of the times and is willing to attempt a departure which will have a tendency to bring a little relief from the damness marking the revues being presented at the local theatres. He rose to great heights in the drama in the days of the Lafayette Players, will head a little twenty-minute dramatic offering at one of our theatres, this being offered in conjunction with the revue being offered at the house the same week. He also produced little playlets, which went over big at her New Lincoln Theatre. It was a few years after that Frank Wilson, now appearing in "Porgy," found the encouragement at the Lincoln with his playlets, and soon he found him in such good stead he eventually journeyed to Broadway and got a beating. That such a move is bound to attract attention to the theatre where it is being presented goes without saying, for, in spite of the failure of Harlem to produce anything worthwhile for Broadway, the Negro in the drama is receiving a great deal of attention at the hands of many producers, and it is only now beginning to theatre in which Miss Anderson plays a return to that splendid form of entertainment will go artists to help create the "Real American Drama," and it is not far-fetched to predict that the assembling of some of the Lafayette Players to support Miss Anderson will have its effect.

MARTIN 124 WEST 136th STREET NEW YORK, N. Y. How Prone We Are to Forget THAT we are prone to forget the great among us when death would have stepped in and claimed them is no secret. Shortly after the death of Booker T. Washington "inspired" admirers were running around Harlem talking about erecting a monument to the late educator. In the world of the theatre, we have seen it so often we seldom pay any attention to those well-meaning souls, carried away for the moment because of the spotlight surrounding the departure of some loved one. We used to hear them tell of the planned monument to the late James Roese Europe, Alda-Coverton Walker, George Walker, Ernest Hogan, Hert Williams, and a host of others. And now we have before us the following clipping from the Sunday News, which is self-explanatory: "In reading an article of youre in a recent Sunday News," writes Richard Townsend of 21 West 49th street, "I noticed a few lines concerning the fashion in which the memory of Florence Mills is still revered. Lynch Law at a Downtown Theatre Lynch Law at a Downtown Theatre "WORDERWORDS are so dangerous," writes David Wallace, especially for plays, that I hesitate to put into cold type what T. S. Stribling and I feel about our drama, "Rope," which James W. Elliott is to produce Tuesday night at the Biltmore Theatre. But being, as we think, off the seaten track, and touching, in the passing, the rather important topic of ynch law, a few paragraphs of "why and wherefore" may not be amiss. We should like to make clear first of all that this is not a dramatization of Mr. Stribling's novel, "Teetfallow," but rather a play based upon certain vital spots in that novel. I have always felt that the meanness of action and drama were so distinct that a person was foolish who tried to transfer to the stage all that a novelist had spread out upon his broad canvas. But occasionally there is a dramatic situation in a novel, or perhaps a sequence of dramatic situations, indicating possibilities for theatrical treatment. I thought I saw material in "Teetfallow," and Mr. Stribling agreed with me that if we were to use it for a play we should have to refocus the story entirely. We started out then almost as if a fresh dramatic idea had occurred to us, but, of course, we had the enormous advantage of color here where Mr. Stribling had worked into the life of his beloved Tennessee. The situation which interested me in "Teetfallow" was that of a hot-blooded young Southerner, about to lead a mob, stopping to seduce the girl he loved, and missing the lynching. Then came the dramatic development that the mob, when it learned of his defection, turned on its own leader and his girl, like a pack of wolves. For dramatic purposes, we motivated section so that the girl, with a horror of violence, deliberately threw her heart at her sweetheart so that he would be held back from committing murder. It will be observed that our central character, Abner Teetallow, is not the conventional hero. Mr. Stribbling made no attempt to glorify him in the book, and neither have we in the play. He is simply a likable human being with strong convictions and strong prejudices, the result of his environment, making terrific mistakes. And turning from them how a man can be. Through two ags of our play, Abner believes in the justice of violence and it is not until he has been through torture from his own mob that he emerges at the end seared physically and menially, but a man who knows. We have made an attempt to deal honestly and seriously with the menace of lynch law, but "Rope" is no treatise. Mr. Stribbling has been at rehearsal, constantly to check up on details, and we have worked uncoastally to make the play as simple and direct a portrayal of Tennessee life as was the novel. Frank Merlin, the director has shown enthusiasm for the play from the day that he read it. He took it to Mr. Ellott, who being a Georgian, know the subject matter at first hand. With only one exception, the man who read it was a man of great intelligence. Several have only recently crossed the Mason and Dixon line—and in a number of cases, the parts are being played by actors whom I have always regarded as ideal for these characters. Whether "Rope" will interest the public or not is for the gods to decide. Speaking of That Cacophony in Blue Speaking of That Cacophony in Blue TO J. R. B. we are indebted for the following which many of our readers will no doubt find interesting: "Whoooee! Or, as the winged chillen of 135th street expressively put it. Mmm—M! Show? Not exactly, just the New Playwrights throwing their periodic brainstorm in the old stamping ground on Commerce street. "Hoboken Blues" was the play, written or accumulated, by Michael Gold. Playwright Gold dashes off a mean sequel to "The Belt" and "International," previously wholesale offerings by his colleagues. In fact, one might roll them all into one, start at 8 A. M. and present the syncopated story of mankind before the stroke of midnight. For his material Mr. Gold has drawn upon every dramatic source from Sophocles to the plumbers. In "Hoboken Blues" there are revival meeting hysteria, circus clowning, white horses, lions and baboons, there are angels, devils, masks, mares and nightmares, chorus girls, cabarets, politics—well, take the new unabridged dictionary and pick out the nouns, starting with A, and you have it, with the possible exception of "drama." There's even a Ford in it. And yet, as the Reverend Rosewater exclaims, "There's more real conviviality in the old-time religion than in any of these new shows." Reverend Rosewater, an amen to that. The show starts with the failure of Harlem's faithful ones back in 1903 to less Sag Pickens from being no 'count. Sam's wife punishes a washboard while he hells with his banton in the corner saloon. But Sam gets told one day, and goes over to Hoboken, where he hears he can get a job in a circus. He meets an anachronistic Irishman who warns him of the cops, but Sam is a simple Southern darky, who's done no wrong, and he doesn't understand. These vicious Hoboken policemen, who must have crossed the river when "The Great God Brown" was still on the boards, fracture Sam's skull with their nightsticks. He and then in a delirious second act he finds Hoboken all it was literally cracked up to be. The circus is there, and angels are in it, and Abe Lincoln, and Sam becomes the president of the United States, duty bound to free the white man from the slivery industry, as his predecessor freed the Negro. Sam wanders for twenty-five years in a daze, and returns to the Harlem of 1928. The old place has changed. He ends up in a movie scenario denouement, consulating of a $200 a week job playing his banjo in a cabaret. The play is generous to a fault, as all the Commerce streets offerings have been Anode from that. It's chief defect is that it isn't negroid. Vaudeville methods beget vaudeville, and black-face is always only cork-deep. There is some real pathos, however, butchered and lost in the mess of hash. Sam Pickens was a lovable character, the simple, joy-loving, banjo-stumming black boy from the South. And the hospital scene, with its grossecques figures, and shells and flashes of light depicting the painful whirl beneath a cracked skull, was excellent. The back drop was an arrangement like the rolled maps in school rooms. To change the scene you simply turn a crank, until you get the one on it. On it it "Hoboken" or "Harlem" or "Saloon" with appropriate decorations. George Bratt, as Sam Pickens, and Jane Barry, as Amella Wetlanding and a number of other things, gave creditable performances. — J. R. R. Speaking o' 'Keep Shufflin' (From the Philadelphia News.) Miller and Lyles rode the high waves of cloudiness before a capacity audience which acclaimed their new musical comedy, "Keep Shufflin'," at the Gibson last night. Although the comic pair are the moving splits of the show, they by no means carry off all the honors. They are surrounded by an assemblage of danky revue luminaries, including John Vigil, a Chapman buffoon; Jean Star, Minute Russell, Clarence Robinson and Bryon Jones, who were applauded for encore time and again. ence Mills," almost stopped the show with her singing of "How Jazz Was Born" and "The Jockey Song." The book, written by Fonneyner Miller, swings about an amusing plot. It concerns Steve Jenkins and his pn, Sam Cook (Miller and Lyles), who are aware to the idea of work. They instill a group of workmen to their communal ideals, as set forth in the "Equal Got League," sponsored by them. The members proceed to dynamite a bank and every member gets wealthy.

S." had the following to say about the flight of Josephine Baker from Paris to be attended the success which extended the shorts of our colored performers: "Rermarkable scenes took place on the stage of the London Pavilion last evening when, after four hours of a mathee given by Negroes in aid of the Tithes Flood Fund "as a gesture of love" served in England, between forty and fifty black men and women stood around and watched Josephine Baker dance the Charleston. Miss Baker had flown specially from Paris to appear. She had never been in England before. She had never been in England before. She promised to attend originally, she was to attend a evening show, and then had to decline when she heard it was a mathee, because her cabaret duties in Paris keep her at work until 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning. The organizers, not despairing, chartered a special airplane, which left London at 10 o'clock yesterday morning with orders to bring Miss Bake back at all costs. "After a rough flight, Gordon P. Ollley, the pilot, arrived in Paris at 12.45, and an hour later, after discovering Miss Baker's address, woke her up. She has been working at night and was exhausted, immediately, however, and flew back to Paris at 2.50 and arriving at Croydon at 4.35. "For more than three hours then, Negroes of all kinds had been doing their turns—singing, dancing, playing saxophones, cracking jokes. Some wore stylish morning costs, tall hats, and diamond rings. Alberna Hunter had come all the way Monte Carlo to sing the 'Blues'. "It was the greatest; Negro jamboree ever held in London. It might have been in Alabama, except for the tall hats. "When Josephine Baker did appear, she sat on a grand piano, in a beautiful rose-pink dress and a bead of nightcap woven in dazzling earrings, and so sang, while two Negroes vamped for her, "Purty Little Baby." "Miss Baker, changing her dress for the Charleston, put on an ostrich-feather sort of skirt, and then made faces and grimaced while she danced. She is by no means a Florence Mills. She has fire, however, and vim, and she can waggle her body until it looks like breathing.

"Gigfield Follies" With and Joe Byrd ze Beauty Chorus M NEW YORK LARK, Manager Miller & Lyles Headed for Broadway in Their Latest Musical Comedy Offering Critics Wax Enthusiastic Over "Keep Shufflin'," Underlined for Big Opening at Daly's Theatre next Monday Night MAUDE RUSSELL TO THE FORK Colored New York Thrown Into a Fever of Anticipation, a Nothing Outstanding Has Been Produced by Anybody Since the Palmy Days of "Shuffle Along" What has been called the Negro cycle of theatricals is expected to have its culmination on Monday evening, February 27, when Miller and Lyles, noted comedians, will appear as the principals in the cast of "Keep Shufflin'"—said to be the largest of Negro productions ever staged. This new vehicle is the result of fourteen months of intensive preparation and is being sponsored and presented by Con Conrad, one of the outstanding composers and lyricists who has contributed many musical scores to Broadway productions. "Keep Shufflin'" will play, it is expected, for a period of many months at Daly's 63rd Street Theatre. This playhouse has received a stamp of successful operation since the advent there of "Shuffle Along," which was the turning point of Negro theatricals in America since the coming of the present generation. According to the expressed opinion of one of the leading theatrical critics, the present Negro cycle in American will come to an end after the presentation of any production which is as elaborately presented as "Show Boat" or "Golden Dawn," both of which have large units of Negro performers in the respective casts. For some years the Negro player has been deprived of an opportunity to demonstrate that she or he possesses ability equal to that of the foremost Nordic stars. Con Conrad has openly expressed the opinion that the numerous stars and supplementary players whom he has called for the production are every bit as gifted as the cream of Nordic artists. Furthermore, Mr. Conrad, in order to demonstrate this point, has cast in "Keep Shufflin'" every available player of outstanding merit to interpret the book. When one reflects upon the fact that many members of the cast of the new Miller and Lyles musical comedy have been stars in their own right, it is at least a substantial omen for the success of the production. In addition to the two noted comedians, the cast includes John Vigal and Glorence Robinson, who have long been favorites in the world of Negro theatre, and many appraisers of dramatic worth have stated that they are the leading juveniles of their race. Byron Jones, whom Philadelphia critics liken on point of skill to the famous Jack Johnson, has been allotted several important units in which to demonstrate his wonderful dancing skill. George Lintles, Margaret Leo, Hazel Sheppard, Gilbert Holland, Allegretti Anderson also have been given a real opportunity to show their talents. Josephine Hall, too, interprets an important role and has been equipped with far their material than was her lot in any of the productions in which she appeared in the post. Jean Starr created a furore for her performance, but had its initial arumph at Gibson's Theatre in Philadelphia, where it is now playing prior to its presentation in New York. Miss Starr has been given the assignment of rendering the hit number in the show, a composition the style and lyric of which were both her own. Her name is titled "Give Me the Sunshine" and elicited no less than six curtain calls on the opening night at Gibson's. Already the New York newspapers have commented upon the work of Neal Russell, and these various commentators have voiced the opinion that the girl is undoubtedly headed for unrestrained confidence when Florence Mills arrives with her impression in the theatrical "Shuffle Along," she had some spot in that show which Neal Russell fills in "Keep Shuffling." the little "blackbirds" instantaneous were repeated in Philadelphia and New York, where which is another Conrad com- mando with special lyrics by Gladys Beecher, who, by the way, is rated by Conrad as one of the greatest lyricists of all time.

MADELINE ODLUM. or the success of "Keep Shufflin'", not contented with having contributed the finest of his new compositions to his vehicle, he has incorporated several other works, and he is known, who has won won fame as the composer of "Charleston last"; "Fat" Walter and Clarence Todd are responsible or the other wonderful increments of his production, and Henry Cressman, and Razaf, have created the "bouchop" lyrics. The book of "Keep Shufflin'" was written by Flournoy Mille permanently, and possesses a wealth of humor far exceeding the mithful material of the past. Mr. Mille's imagination has been productive of some of the most humorous and lighthearted stories. The story is exceptionally unique and has a artificial theme based on the evils of Bolshavism. Miller and Lyles interpret the roles of Steve Jennings and Sam Cook, respectively. Steve and Sam are particularly lazy by nature and scheme out a novel method to keep the world from working. They form a team of friends to keep the town an equal share of money, which is derived quite conveniently by blowing up a bank. After swimming in luxury for a number of days, Steve and Sam find that their plans have gone askew and that instead of the principals of the "Equal Share" scheme, everyone has too much money to work. The result is that the water works shuts down, no stories are open and business in general is at a standstill. This condition prevents anyone from spending the money he or she has acquired. Just how the whole scheme turns out will be a source of interest for the reader. "Keep Shufflin'" which has an extremely fast, unrurial end "Keep Shufflin" has an unusually large cost and both in point of number and the respective talents of the players it exceeds practically every production of its kind. It has the proportions in point of scenic effects, lighting and saturation it vies with the best production of the present theatrical season in New York. It should be mentioned that Jimmie Johnson and Thomas "Pat" Waller's orchestra, which supplies the orchestra in the "Keep Shufflin," is made up of the pick of Negro musical artists. Jimmie Johnson and "Pat" Waller preside at the pit planes and Rattienx, the noted drummer, enlivens the proceedings with his antics and unusual percussion effects. Jabbo Smith is behind the band and was a real sensation at Gibson's Theater, the many memories of the behind the footlights. There are twenty-two musical numbers in "Keep Shufflin" and the production has as one of its features the Jubilee Singers and Dancers, among whom are Charles Lawrence, Herman Linsterlin, Lloyd Mitchell, Howard Browne, George Washington, John C. McCarthy, Chris Gardon, Edwin Alexander, Sandy Brown and Kenneth Harris. A veritable pageant of brome beauty is represented in the ladies of the ensemble, who have been carefully selected not only for their pulchritude but also for their ability to step swiftly and surely. These dusky Diana's addams have been the most beautiful of them. They are Gussei Williams, Hazel Shepard, Ethel Moses, Marle Bushell, Marion L. Tyler, Vlennene G. Brooks, Liln Brogden, Evelyn Irving, Gladys Hronen, Hazel Coles, Gertrude Gaines, Wiley Speedy, Marle Dove, Mineola Hornsby, Marle Dove, Mineola Hornsby, Peggy Burnett, Marlon MacDowell, Billie Rickman, Marlon Ford, Modeline Oldum, Olive Harrison, Brydle Wallace and Clarice Egerton. The opening night at Daly's 53rd Street Theatre Monday evening, February 27, will be attended by the most brilliant gathering of first-nighters in the history of the theatre in New York. Members of the 600, leaders of the organization, have already made their reservations for the event and many socially prominent in Harlem will also be in attendance when the curtain rises promptly at 8:30. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. FEB. 22. 1928 JOSEPHINE HALL. Lark to Reopen Putnam Theatre Brooklyn Theatre Will Offer Revue Form of Entertainment and Pictures Holding the reputation which the Lasfayette Theatre enjoyed (?) for a number of years before the coming of Frank Schiffman to put it over, the Putnam Theatre willropen its doors to the public the coming Saturday night and the manager, Summer H. Lark, has voiced the opinion that Brooklyn need not feel that a theatre properly managed should continue to be a white elephant. Counsellor Lark was the first to run the Puttam, and during the time he operated it he found success. Then came the late Edward Lily Brown, who had a great deal of experience in Quality Amusement Corporation, and Lark sold out at what many said was a large profit. Many have tried to operate the house since those early days of disaster Wor the Quality Amusement Corporation, but have been unable to do so. An animated by Mr. Lark will be a continuous one from 2:15 to 11:30 P.M. Located on Fulton street in what is now known as the central point of the colored population in that town, the manager feels that he has every reason to believe that the company is doing well on the scale from all over the borough. Recent years have brought a large number of colored people to the district, and if the manager can hit upon just what they want along an amusement lines, the Dartmouth College will be able to the time of his departure some years ago. The opening bill will bring the "Ginnell Folies" with Billy Mitchell and Joe Byrd as the principal entertainers. Others in the revue will be Jerry Colson, Marcia McCormack, and the late Keith, Helen Stewart, Dolores Mitchell, Billy Bradford and Glennie Cheeseman, supported by a fast-t stepping chorus. Miller's Latest Here Next Week Plans to Present the Show on Broadway, We Are Told Irvin Miller's newest venture in the field of producing elaborate musical camelodies will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Miller has been working on this show for several months, we are told with the thought of presenting it on Broadway. He will put the touches on the play this week and present it at the Lafayette Theatre next week before closing arrangements for a Broadway run. Neither the cast or the play is quite finished. It will be called either "Hurlem Frivolities" or "Silks and Satin Revue. Irvin Miller and I will be in the play assisted by a cast of forty male and female performers. The feature photoplay announced at the Lafayette Theatre next week, together with Miller's new musical comedy, is "The Gorilla," the greatest of the season's mystery thrillers Better Than Ever!

Williams Fails to Mention Stand Regarding Miss Burroughs' School Under Denomination WASHINGTON, D. C., I iams, president of the National failed to touch upon his contro roughs, president of the Nation and Girls, regarding the mana sitation, in his address at the Washington and vicinity, hel Church last Monday. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.—The Rev. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, failed to touch upon his controversy with Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, regarding the management and control of that institution, in his address at the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity, held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Monday. In a controversy which is being carried on in the newspapers, Dr. Williams contents that the National Training School for Women and Girls should be maintained under the control and management of the National Baptist Convention, Inc. Miss Burroughs takes the position that the school of which she is the head is subject only to the superintendence of the board of trustees of the institution. In his conference address, Dr. Williams contented himself with an exposition of Baptist doctrines and an affirmation of fundamentalism. His reason for visiting Washington at this time when the controversy between him and Miss Burroughs is at fever-heat, Dr. Williams said, is that he is travelling in America to promote the interests of the Negro race through the Baptist denomination. Baptists have a larger opportunity than any other denomination, he stated, because there are more of them. He put the number of Baptists at three and one-half millions. Because Baptists have a larger opportunity, he said, they also have a larger responsibility. Burroughs was invited from the audience to the platform. She was warmly applauded as she made her way to the rostrum. Later Miss Burroughs spoke and declared that her chief concern in church affairs is the unification of the three factions of the Baptist Church—the Lott Carey faction, the incorporated group and the unincorporated group. As long as Baptists fight among themselves, said Miss Burroughs, they will weaken their morale and resources. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, responded to the address of Dr. Williams. The Rev. W. A. Gray, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, presided. The Rev. W. H. Jarnagin presented Dr. Williams. Henry J. Booker, 11 years old, rendered an organ solo. Scripture was read by the Rev. W. L. Washington. Prayer was offered by the Rev. William D. Jarvis. After the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference a reception was tendered to Dr. Williams. Whatever there is that ought to be done for the community for which a church exists, he declared his belief that that thing ought not only be done, "but it ought to be done under the tutelage, management and control of the church." Every church, he said, ought to from a program to cover the entire complex needs of its membership. Dr. Williams went into a lengthy and critical analysis of the organization of the Baptist Church. He compared his denomination with other denominations to their displacement. Each Baptist church is a complete organization in itself, free from any "super-overhead outside management." Each pastor "run everything we run hit by pay we want to run it." he stage, and we do not let it run under the pins like we want to run it. and demands also have no creed that it it up him together, he declared, because they like we unity, he said, because we reform inside and fundamental. we guests must stick to a gospel that is preached to the hearts of men and women, he asserted. His only remark that can in any way be interpreted as a reference to the controversy concerning the National Training School for Women and Girls was his statement that "whatever is created in the name of the denomination ought to be subject to the denomination."

Hawkins, apartment 22, 52 Quincy street, northwest, was awarded last Thursday a final decree of absolute divorce from Francis J. Hawkins, 57 O street, northwest, by Justice William Hitz. The interlocutory decree was granted October 20, 1927. While the suit was pending, Hawkins and the correspondent, Madeline Walker, married and are now living at the O street address. The first Mrs. Hawkins and Francis J. Hawkins, married and are now living at the O street, Md., Oct. 14, 1922. The petition for an absolute divorce was filed in the District Supreme Court on March 26, 1926. Position of B. S. C. P. Strengthened Henry T. Hunt, Donald R. Richberg and Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, announced yesterday that the position of the Brotherhood in their fight with the Pullman Company for higher wages, abolition of the tipping system and better work conditions has been greatly reinforced and fortified by recent decisions handed down in the District Court for the Southern District of Texas and the Supreme Court of New York State.

Warrick, 200 West 135th street. He mailed $200 to a lawyer in North Carolina and received in lieu of acknowledgement a curt note stating that the man is dead. Of course, Mr. Warrick wonders what he should do about it.—Why not write to Saint Peter's Tavern. It is true that the man is a lawyer, but, with $200, who knows, he may have got by. The Real Charge From Shillingstone, England, comes the report that Mrs. Adelaide Plaster was arrested for milking a neighbor's cow. The milk was confiscated the milk—presumably because it in court as "sheezy" evidence. Her Last Resort A woman sued in the Suprema Court recently for the sum of $10,000, but the jury avidly could not see her side of the argument, and awarded her only $100. Of this sum her lawyer took $50, her doctor $25, and the landlord got the rest.—If she wants a bit of advice, we would suggest that she sue her lawyer. Strange Indeed L. Baynard Whitney, writing in *The Amsterdam News*, states that the Paul Lawrence Dumbar apartments are inhabited by intellectuals. Incidentally, we perished the honor list and failed to undertake...Maybe the undertakers don't care to bury intellectuals.

"Arizona," mule mascot of the Thirtleth Regiment of Los Angeles, was recently made the commanding officer when the regiment passed in honorary review before him. We can almost imagine him saying "heehaw" to movements which he approved and, perhaps, "hawhee" to those which he didn't. An Airy Culprit Your reporter was much surprised on entering the 185th street precinct Saturday morning to hear everybody sneeze. At first we thought it a joke, but investigation revealed the fact that Detective Webber had been cross-questioning a prisoner earlier in the day and, exasperated by his obstinacy, had bawled at him, "Spit it out." The prisoner obeyed the command to the letter, with the result that everybody in the place caught a cold.—The Druggist's Association ought to ball that man out.

A. A. Austin·Deplores Absentee Landlords "One of the difficulties with the Harlem rent situation is that there are too many absentee landlords. That is, landlords who live in another section of the city and have no interest in the conditions surrounding their property," said A. A. Austin, president of the Antifilean Holding Company, at the opening meeting of the Monday Night Forum of the New York Urban League, held at Salem M. E. Church, Seventh avenue and 129th street, Monday evening. Lawson Purdy, general director of the Charity Organization Society and secretary of the Commission to Revise the Tenement House Law, spoke very interestingly for forty minutes on the New Dwellings Law, which was supported by a delegation to the Legislature on Tuesday. The next meeting of the Forum will be held at the Urban League next Monday evening. The subject for discussion will be: "Is It Justifiable for the Worker to Pay for a Job?" Mrs. Josephine P.

Froe, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, was one of three Government officials charged with inefficiency by Representative William P. Holiday, Republican, of Illinois, last Friday, when consideration of the District appropriation bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929, was begun in the House. The other two officials were A. L. Harris, Municipal Architect, and Frank W. Ballou, Superintendent of Public Schools. Mr. Holiday excepted Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent in charge of colored district from the institution of the District public school system. The criticism of Mr. Froe resulted from his failure to adopt recommendations of the Bureau of Efficiency after it had made an exhaustive study of the work of the office of the Recorder of Deeds.

An hour of folk songs and Spirituals of the Negro race, with harry forrest foremost, Negro gospel of the choir, band and them with orchestra, band and choral accompaniment, featured the Frigidaire program in the series of General Motors' family parties on Monday evening, February 18. Frigidaire is one of the outstanding leaders who has brought dignity and distinction to the race. For thirty-five years he has been the principal soloist of St. George's Episcopal Church, retaining over the long period by a wholly new and beautiful quality of his baritone voice and his devotion to religious music. Not only in the vocal field, however, has he attained recognition. He is given full credit in the annual awards saved the now famous Negro folk songs and Spirituals from oblion. Years of research and study of the music of our people have resulted in the composition and arrangement by 145 and those beginnings go back to days of antiquity among the black tribes of Africa. His best-known composition of this nature is "Deep River." The Spirituals of the American Negro sung last Monday evening are said to constitute the most exquisite of songs still alive and growing in any civilized country today. The type itself is a hybrid with almost infinite variety. As a basis the Negro used the hymns of white people, more or less unconsciously, taking them apart and rebuilding them with additions of other styles. He apart corporated a little of everything from the Bible down to popular stage songs of his day and unified all by instilling into it his own peculiar psychology, pathos and humor. The results were sometimes crude, but not infrequently he hit up the audience more than the studied artistry of more learned composers. Assisting artists were the Hall-Johnson Jubilee Singers, a chorus of Negro vocalists almost as famous in their field as Burlesigh is in. As accompanists and also in individual selections of Negro music, the hour also presented a symphony orchestra with Roderic Grassfeld as the principal man*warned over third stations from the New York studios of the N.

P., in an address over the N. A. C. Tuesday, February 10, 1974, who is leading authority on the question, assailed the political powers of the South for the disfranchisement of the Negro voters. "The South, which is so loud for enforcing the Constitution when it is opposed to the Eighty-Second Amendment, itself fragrantly flouts the Constitution as far as the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Amendments, guaranteeing the right of the franchise, are concerned," he said. Noamman declared that the right of fraternity was being nullified to a large extent, by certain "legal" processed, which, he insisted, are contrary to the spirit and intent of the Constitution.

These qualifications, he said, have acted to disbar the millions of Negroes of the South from exercising their rights as citizens. The situation, which, the speaker asserted, gives the South a disaffirmation in the Federal Government, might be remedied to some extent by adoption of House Bill 34, introduced in Congress by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts. This resolution calls for an investigation of the disfranchisement of voters in the South, given by Walter Drey and dedicated by the Uttica Jubilee Singers, was rend during their program Sunday. The story of the poem is concerned with a Negro mother who has seen her four babies die almost as soon as they were born. Knowing that a fifth was expected, she prayed, and the substance of her prayer was, "Lord, do these babies give you this child; all I ask is that you len' it to me." When the child was born healthy and strong, out of gratitude she named it "Len' Me."

"Y" Membership Drive Now On Carlton Avenue Branch Conducting Special Work Here This Week The week of February 20 to 24 has been set aside at the Carlton Avenue Branch, Y. M. C. A. for their annual meeting, and the Prologue chairman of the drive, with Messrs Dean Yarbrough and Simeon Blanks captains of the two divisions of ten men each. The membership secretary, A. J. Jackson, is the campaign manager. Reduced fees and the many activities that the branch offers warrant the effort of the membership department in trying to serve a larger membership, every man must take pride in belonging to an institution like the "Y." which stands for the building of Ideal Christian character. While Carlton's building is now over 20 years old there are still many men and women in the building, many tags of a membership. If the "Y" did not offer anything more than the wholesome, clean atmosphere and splendid trained secretaries, who are willing to work with the many problems, it warrants twice the membership which it has, but it does offer a program based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ—And Jesus grew in wisdom and statue and in favor of God and men—the fourfold plan of life. The physical department is in charge of H. J. Dangerfield, and classes in all sports, basketball and boys' basketball and volleyball games are popular with both men and boys. The social department covers many phases of the work. A men's social room is located on the first floor of the building, where a radio is used each week. The library, which is very comfortably furnished, adjoins the Meroney Memorial Library of 1,000 books. In the basement can be found pockets with tables and three chairs. An employment department is open daily from $ 1 until 2:30, with E. B. Weatherley in charge. An attempt is made to recruit daily applicants. Vocational guidance is also given and an attempt made to adjust men and boys into their tight hold of endearment. This is a service where an applicant is furnished with a job for a stated fee, and it is up to him to make good. At Carlton a position is furnished to serve the immediate needs of the applicant, coordinating an opportunity presents itself. Carlton is a beacon light for our people in Brooklyn, an institution which is serving men and boys, a place where the stranger will find friend. This is a service for the men and boys of the city and warrants a large increase in growing membership.

SPECIAL ARTICLES Keeping Fit By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. HARLEM is a most wonderful place in which to live. You can get all you need out of it and more than you need. One must know just how much to take. Harlem's activities are as numerous as the sands of the sea, and it is, therefore, very necessary for one to know just how strong, vigorous and active are his or her endocrine glands. These are the glands of internal secretions, whose juice circulates in the blood stream and activates the vital organs and important structures of the body to a proper and even functioning. Underactivity or overactivity of these endocrine glands determines your personality and your reaction to the strain of modern times. Everyone cannot do what somebody else is doing. The ask the folk who attended Alcidian affair ast week how they felt the morning after. I have asked them and they have asked me. The answers are all different. Some were as happy as larks, while others were as sour as vinegar. Some had headaches, while others had bally-aches. The blood pressure in some was too high; others felt as if they had no blood pressure at all. Some ate a good breakfast, while others had the mousses and vomiting as would the treatment woman. The reaction from this very brilliant, copy and entrancing Alcidian affair all depended upon what sort of stands were in the physical systems of those who attended We Your Horoscope By THEARCHER The sun began its transit through the rhythmic Places, the constellation that endows its children with a mystic and pay nature on the 20th of February, and will transit this sign until March 21. These people are generally kind and romantic, although they are not very constant in love for, like the bee, they gather honey from many flowers. Many of these people say and do things that seem incomprehensible to others, and they are often misunderstood in dense forests. They often work in the its tale of its life into their easy cars, for these people will inform everything that is said to them and will even make rash promises that they have no idea of keeping, so that their friends will not feel hurt by a refusal. Their sympathy is boundless while it lasts, but inconstancy is one of the chief faults of these fanciful Pisces folk. They are fond of odd color combination in dress and bizarre jewelry. Many of these folks are splendid musicians, although they have a peculiar sense of rhythm and harmony. The men and women who are born during the week of February 20 are inclined to be fickle in love. They make very interesting conversationists and the story grows more interesting with each repetition. Those people of this group who have passions will experience better conditions in the home life with the new year. Saturn is disturbing these folks who have birthdays near the 8th of March and they should take comfort and realize that this aspect will not last much longer. They should avoid disputes and arguments. The men in the outlook should be best clear, the events should be grudged, and the events should be dominated by a determined force of mind to look on the best side of things. Those who seek revenge will court disaster and ambush from secret enemies. These people of this sign who observe birthdays that March 8 do not need to think that everything is hopeless. Those who like March 8, 20, 30 will feel this aspect very strongly, but behind the clouds the sun still shines. February 22 shows promise of a romantic birthyear, although it does not seem as if the happiness will be lasting. These people will be into two arguments and disputes and not antagonize the loved ones, will need to take a firm grip on the mental powers and force themselves to reason to the best advantage. There is an indication of travel for many of these folks of today, as well as some interesting new trends. 22 promises much more prosperity for the birthyear for the folks of today, especially in a financial sense, and there is an indication of a rather unusual romance. Many of the folks of today will hear some very important news, and those who follow mental or professional promotion should strive for a promotion that is shown. The folks who entered this world on February 24 will have a birthyear that is marked with some opposition or treachery in the employment, yet some powerful protection will save them. These people should not expect too much from the birthyear. February 25 will bring a very favorable year for money and employment, although love affair will cause much trouble and business. These people can avoid from the unhappiness from the opposite sex by refusing to pretend to love. These people are very often unfair with the opposite sex and will do unwise things through spite, and yet they all would be a happy people if we would recognize just how much to care. It is, therefore, not so much the things we do as to what extent we do them. How much of this Harlem life can each one stand? That is the important question. Our destiny is largely in the hands of our internal secretions. Some of us are rigged for the stress and strain of this modern life by having normally functioning adrenals, pituitary, thymus and thyroid glands. If these glands are in a state of normality, then indeed has that person the "elixir of life". Joy and a feeling of well-being such as a one feeling of the "burning after." Do not ask me how I feel. Just ask me how is my thyroid. will not understand why vulnerability overtakes them. The people who observe February 26 as a birthdate should not lend money or sign legal documents or contracts. Those who are carpenters and builders should have a successful year if the other adverse aspects are considered with care. The year is indicated as quiet, without much or even no gain. They are likely to experience some peculiar ideas in the domestic circle. The 27th begins a birthyear that will be choochful of adventures, romance, travel and new work. The employment will be full of changes or readjustments. Jupiter promises enough money for their needs, but it does not seem as if the employment will be the source. The hour of birth makes all the difference, and many of those people will feel the amounts at periods that differ as much or less. Nearly every joy and sorrow of life will be crowded into a birthyear for most of these folks of today. The year will have a merry pace! February 28 promises some serious changes in the domestic and social lives for, and because of, relatives. There seems to be an indication of some financial assistance from one of the opposite sex, whose birthdate falls on or between November 22 to December 18, the marriage begins happily, but the occasions point toward the continuation of that happiness. Letters or papers will be of much interest to the folks of today. All this group will feel some unusual psychic influences at the beginning of the next year, and this aspect is likely to exert its influence through the domestic life. The people of this group who are married will antagonize by too much talk, or else by mental annoyances. Mental poise and hygiene will do much to help pass this period with comfort. Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN What Women Like in Men A number of men have asked me why they are unsuccessful in making girls like them and in keeping their friendships. They just can't understand how it is that some insignificant little guy is often rushed with women. In answer to a questionnaire sent to a number of girls, I found the following qualities for a man to have been generally agreed upon: 1—The power of self-expression 2—Dependability 3—Efficiency 4—Attractiveness 5.-Neatness and personal cleanliness 6.-Physical and mental alertness The first, self-expression, is a delightful gift. The man who knows how to express what he wishes to say in a convincing, free and easy style never lacks a listener. Have you ever sat mute and listened to some one express your very thoughts in such a way that the interest of the whole group are aroused and held? A girl likes to go about with a man of whom she is proud and nothing pleases her more than for her friend to be the life of the party. Then there come those precious moments when you are alone with the one whom you love and who loves you. Remember, "your girl" thinks much of your words. They mean more to her than you suspect, are you capable of letting her rest, your soul, or do you say Writer Comments on Present Status of German Women FROM Munich I rode to Karlsruhe, passing through Augsburg with its ancient cathedral, Ulm and Stuttgart, said to be the most beautiful town in Germany, on the outskirts of the Black Forest. Most of the way, as far as Stuttgart, is very lovely farming country. One fact that struck me was the large number of women working in the fields, several of them barefooted. Strong, sturdy, blonde, they were doing the heavy work usually done by men, in America. As is to be expected, Germany has an excess of women over men, something like three to two. In Berlin, according to the latest statistics, for every 154 women there are 100 men. In the United States it is the other way about. According to the 1920 census, for every 104 white men there were 100 white women. The colored population has about 101 women for every 100 males. It is this shortage of females which is no doubt responsible for the glittering position of the American woman, as compared with the European or Asiatic one. The sexual position of the European woman might well be compared to that of the colored American woman. The European woman has a harder time finding a male partner, hence she is less proud. Even before the war marriage had to be earned by the German woman. I understand that it is her duty to furnish the house; in France, she brings a sum of money to her husband. The entire training of the average German woman is to make her a good housewife. The ex-Kaiser's dictum in this respect might be recalled. He said that every good woman would have as her ideal three Ks—Kurche, Kinder, Kuche—church, children, cooking. The result is that German women make very good women—at least Napoleon thought so. He said: "They are the best wives in the world, good, naive and fresh as roses". I understand that women should scapegourn for all evils, real or imaginary, brought about a change. As was said, there are more women than men in Germany. Were Lord Byron alive, however, he might have refused to believe this. He might have even insisted on the contrary, declaring that no matter what the figures gave there was a shortage. As to that, it was kinked that it was kinked to that of the average male, irrespective of country, who, no matter the size of the feminine population, felt it was too small. He might have added that even in a country like the United States with its excess of men, the women, everything but what you're trying to say? What helped to make Theodore Roosevelt powerful a figure? He never forget Lincoln's "Jottsburg Address"? Why do we tune in to hear some particular man every time he speaks? It means a lot, men, and can be acquired, but like everything else, it takes time. The five other qualities I shall discuss in our coming issues. Dear Eggypsy Ann: I go out with a young man who has one fault that I don't like. He often falls to keep engagements and it makes me furious. I always has excuses, but I don't know whether they're true or not. Should I give him up or not? I really hate to do go. I love him! I thank you, Eggypsy Ann. ADA. Dear Ada: You want to get your boy friend told there's nothing more provoking than a "standup" and I don't blame you for getting furious. Suppose you feed him some of his own apple sauce. When he asks why you stand up, he tells him that "you don't suppose that an engagement meant anything to him and you didn't intend to waste your pretty-good time sitting by the fireside waiting for any man. Make him know that when he makes an appointment with you he keeps it or there'll be no more, unless he notifies you beforehand. If he doesn't regard your feelings now, what on earth won't he do if you should ever marry him? Lay down the law, then stick to it, is the advice of EGYPSY ANN. Library Notes "Some Phases of Negro Literature" will be the subject discussed by Waldo Frank tomorrow night at 8:30 a.m. at the West 133rd street branch of the Public Library Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22, 1928 Heidelberg By J. A. ROGERS on the other hand, would wish that their number were less. What this obvious, and let me add for the prudes, perfectly virtuous reason is, no one shall drag from me, I shall not be so unchivalrous to the fair sex—and to its German members in particular—as to name it. Rather than do so, I have used a hundred words where one would have suffixed. Now it's up to the reader to supply the reason, host soit qui mal y pense, he has so lost of gratitude to the reader that I rode ladies with whom I rode from Angsburg to Stuttgart. There were only the three of us in the compartment and when I, with my American complex regarding "Buckras," and lady "Buckras" in PETER B. - J. A. Rogers - particular, shrank into my shell and would have had a dull trip, it was they who pulled me out. Buying a quart bottle of beer at a station, they passed it to me for a swig. When I made motion of refusal, adding a sort of grin by way of showing them that I thanked them for their help, I me cigarettes. When I again refused they were still undiscouraged. I was a pretty queer male, but perhaps I indulged in the third vice: eating. Opening the packages with which their friends had showed them at the station, they motioned me to help myself sandwiches, rakes and other dishes. I did somewhat halterly at first. Soon after the compartment was full: everyone was chatting, except one very proper looking individual. The two girls had lit their cigarettes again, and I noticed this man was glaring at them. Did he object to women smoking, in spite of the fact that it is common in public places? Then I heard him growl something, saw the two girls look up surprised, and toss their cigarettes through the window as if the weeds had burned down to their fingers. It was not until some time later that the mystery was solved. On the outside panel was the "No Smoking" Signs in Germany ("No Smoking"). Signs in Germany are meant to be observed. Before getting off, the sound ladies insisted on leaving some of their sweetmeats with me. The practice in this part of Germany is to greet one another on entering the compartment and to say good-bye in leaving. The McCauley Hospital Of Raleigh, N. C. One of the greatest necessities for the reduction of deaths and the decrease in sickness among Negroes throughout the United States is the proper hospitalization for Negroes. This is one of the recommendations of the National Medical Association. In every city and county where there is a large Negro population plans are being made for the establishment of properly equipped Negro hospitals.

It waters, taken internally or externally, are said to be good for chronic rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, skin diseases and other ailments. It is also good for paralysis, which is my aliment. But I knew that I could bathe until doosymyrtis or my particular brand of soap indeed, and if I did bathe it would only make my paly worse. There is also a grape cure, but grapes always gave me indigestion, so finding that this resort with the double-barrelled name couldn't do anything for me, I left. Besides, it was raining heavily. All that I saw of it was the Kuru, a casino with dungeon, reading room, and wizard stand a room where one can invest his marks on the numbers, I also saw a very fine garden with hedges so wide that two automobiles could almost pass each other on them. The reason for the twin name is that there is another Baden, also a spa, not far away. There are a few other "Bads" around, as "Bad ems." Bad, in this case, however, only means bath. Karlsruhe is noted as an art and music center. There is a school in Kuru, the Grunwald's picture of the Crucifixion, to my thinking the most realistic of all the paintings on this subject. Back here I started for Heldelberg, and on the train met two young American students. The three of us travelled the rest of the way. We all occupied the same room and had a jolly good time together. They were evidently without any color prejudice, but then they came from a near-civilized part of the country—New York State. None of us understood a word of German, as I said in my opening article, but one of them was an expert in finding accommodation the night in Heldelberg he found a pretty good room, with breakfast, for three for eight and a half marks, or about 70 cents—each. Breakfast consisted of several cups of coffee, bread, butter and jam. Lunch of soup, two meats, macaroni, a vegetable, and dessert was 70 cents with tip. The place was known as a "Hospice," a sort of combination working people's home and Y. M. C. A. They are to be found all over Germany, though some of them, as at Cologne, are very expensive. Heidelberg is built on both sides of the River Neckar, and is surrounded by towering, pine-clad mountains. Its chief points of interest are its university and old castle. Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is the oldest in Germany. Its student life is wrapped in much romance—across the Neckar is the wine-garden which occurs in scenes in "The Student Prince," among others. The university are the library; the chapel, with its rare paintings, and pleasing Gothic architecture, and the Karzar, or lock-up, whose interior is covered every inch of it with thousands and thousands of sketches and inscriptions by the student prisoners. The prisoners even had their Hospital has just made its annual report to the public. This institution has been a great asset to the Negroes in the city and the towns in Wayne County. The service, though small in capacity, has been extensive, both in private and in charity cases. The death rate in this hospital has been only 2 per cent. This institution was founded five years ago by Dr. L. E. McCauley and through his supervision and surgical technique this high and efficient standard has been maintained. It is only through such hospitals as this that the Negroes Also Praises University Founded in 1386 photographs inluded. in the doors and walls. Getting into the Karzar really seemed to have been a sort of achievement. There is also the Hirschgasse where students' duels take place. Before the war, at least, dueling was almost as great a feature of university life in Germany as football in America; slashes on one's face from dueling stamped one as being or having been in a university. The one whose face looked as if he had just had a sitting in a first-grade college was the most arduous all. Some students would rub salt in one to make lasting scars. It was something like the Oxford or the Cambridge accent, and quite as unaccountable. The castle, which is perched on a steep rock, looking sharply down on town, is as massive and impressive a sight as any in Europe, not excepting the Coliseum. It was founded in 1193 by Conrad of Hohenstaufen, and enlarged and expanded in the 13th century, covering 200 years. In 1622 it was captured by the French, and partly destroyed by them in 1638-1639. Its walls are nineteen foot thick. A part of this wall was blown up by the French, and it still lies on the ridge of the moat like a huge rock. Its towers, walls, great chambers with banqueting hall, the staircase, the courtyard and turreted balcony overlooking the town are still there, apparently imperishable. On the side that was blown up the walls are considerably cracked, however, the danger to passersby being heightened by the trees growing in the cracks. A small part of the castle has been restored and contains some of its old treasurers and pictures. But the feature of the castle is the Great Cask, or caskes. The first has a capacity of 10,000 gallons. I thought it the largest wine cask I had ever seen, then I went into the adjoining room to see another almost five times as big. Verily, the man who built that had an imagination. One must climb a long ladder to reach the top! Its capacity is 49,000 gallons. With all that wine it was no wonder that the French were so eager to get in. The great cask has been filled three times in its hutch. Pacing the giant glipot is the statue of Perkeo, court jester, who it is said, used to drink 15 to 18 bottles a day. Once I would have doubted that. Now I don't. As to the grounds of the castle, indeed its whole environment, it is about as halcyon a spot for a ramble as any poet could wish. A funicular railway takes one up as far as the top of the mountain. The castle is visited by thousands daily at an entrance fee of one mark, or twenty-five cents. The older generations of Europeans certainly left fine legacies for the present ones. Next to having an oil well, the best thing is a good monk. Other interesting sights are the monument to Bunsen, Inventor of the Bunsen burner; the Holy Mt. Castle; the house in which the musician Brahms lived, and the monastery in which dwelt the Benedictine monks, famous as makers of the liquor of that name. over the country can expect to receive the proper medical care. efficient and humane surgical treatment and skillful and tender nursing care. Amsterdam Editorial Posted on Tufts' Board The bulletin board at Tufts College, Boston, had posted on it last week an editorial on Frederick Douglas which was printed in The Amsterdam News for February 8. It was selected by the Department of History and Government at the college. Professor Brewer Goddard Whitmore, in charge of the department, in a carefully planned lecture, urged the students to "keep a watchful eye upon the American Negro, and to observe the important problems which have confronted him as a race. He used Frederick Douglas as an illustration of "Negro American immortals" and also said that Dr. W. E. B. DuRols is a living evidence of the good qualities of the Negro. EGYPTIANS SIGN TO ABOLISH SLAVERY LONDON, Feb. 20—(PNS)—According to word received here early this week from Genova where the international peace convention is in session, Egypt has signed the Genova Convention for the abolition of slavery. Under the Genova slavery convention proposal the contracting parties undertake to prevent and suppress the slave trade and to bring about progressively complete abolition of slavery in all forms. They also undertake to prevent compulsory or forced labor from developing into conditions analogous to slavery MAGAZINE PAGE A Key to Culture BY LEOLA LILLARD How Table Mannera Began TABLE manners belong to no etiquette of the table Man was created hungry other reason. But when culin such delicious food as jellies, like, table manners began, T lost the ancient simplicity and significance. Knives and forks were known put into use. In fact, less than were curiosities. In England everyone ate with his fingers At the court of Francis I and nifent court of Louis XIV, unknown. When they first manner table we can be certain the wealthy and the powerful, have knives and forks until users felt themselves fashion portance they told one another was incorrect. TABLE manners belong to an advanced age. There was no etiquette of the table when food was simply food. Man was created hungry and he just ate without and other reason. But when culinary art developed and gave such delicious food as jellies, custards, salads, ices, and the like, table manners began. The mode of eating such food lost the ancient simplicity and took on a wholly new sociic significance. Knives and forks were known a long time before they were put into use. In fact, less than 500 year ago knives and forks were curiosities. In England they were rare; in France everyone ate with his fingers until the seventeenth century. At the court of Francis I and Henri II, and even at the magi nificant court of Louis XIV, forks for eating purposes were unknown. When they first made their appearance on the din ner table we can be certain that it was on the tables of the wealthy and the powerful. The humbler classes did not have knives and forks until considerably later. These first users felt themselves fashionable and in their conscious im portance they told one another what was correct and what was incorrect. When the use of knives and forks became general, the implements were chums at first. They did not know in which hand to hold the fork, nor in which to hold the knife. The humbler homes patterned after the wealthy ones and the new order of things sleeped through the cities and into the countryside, and accepted table manners. And so originated manuals for the masses on etudettes. Man is by no means entirely at ease with table manners today. Among his own people he often eats in the manner that seems most comfortable and natural to him. When he is with a different social caste he often wonders if he is holding his fork correctly, if he should be used for the melon, if olives be taken with the fingers. He watches others and quickly falls in line. He is conscious of the thought that nothing can reveal, as quickly as one's table manners, the environment and the habits of life to which one has been accustomed. It is not, however, the most comfortable thing to watch others for a clue. Civilization has not entirely eliminated the use of the fingers in eating. "to be a salver" that is what humans eat "food" means cob, lobster claws, French artichokes, celery, radishes and olives, raw fruits, bread, crackers and nuts. The finger bowl, strangely enough, became useful in early civilization. Among the early Greeks first there was a period of entertainment, the small ewers of wine were brought and guests were invited to their hands. This same custom prevailed among the Romans and Egyptians.

The Egyptian guest at a dinner party was welcomed by a speech that reminded his heir and washed the hands. Hobrews were ceremonious about hand washing. They washed the hands before eating, upon return from a funeral, before makrunt offerings, etc. The finges low had its origin in Fifteenth century, and today it appears all over the world. The fad is whenever fruits are served the finger bowl should follow. The ancient Greeks took great pride in their table appointments, and it was probably among them that "table setting" began. The ate three meals daily. Their table were uncovered, and they ate reclining on couches, using the fingers in primitive fashion. Wise the Egyptians, the guests are around a table and dipped bread into a common dish placed in the center. When the early people began decorating their "dinners," they loaded them with a sorts of appointments—glasses, tiny dishes, silver bowls, napkins, hands, and painted chinaware vases, knives, and spoons. Scarcely a square inch of the table showed through. Today good demands precisely opposite. Nailing is placed on the table that not actually needed.

Marguerite Henry Holland, was born in Scarborough, England, after the death of her father, which occurred after her birth, she was taken to New York by her mother, who was a teacher and godmother, Mrs. Alice Scrook and Mrs. Cilla C.

The Lapse of Years (Concluded From Last Week) THE events of the day he rapidly that Madame Reexcitement as they droplanning the details of the diwas in the seventh heaven a his ideal woman, and he loved of his own disloyal thoughts that the two women would be own conclusion that Dorothy in the world. THE events of the day had developed so suddenly and rapidly that Madame Renardi was in a state of feverish excitement as they drove rapidly uptown, meanwhile planning the details of the dinner for the next night. Raoul was in the seventh heaven again. Dorothy was once more his ideal woman, and he loved her more because of the shame of his own disloyal thoughts of a few short hours. Now that the two women would be together he could confirm his own conclusion that Dorothy was the most beautiful woman in the world. They stepped out of the limousine in front of one of the newer palaces that the late-coming rich New Yorkers have erected. They were ushered into the spacious drawing room at the same instant that the portieres at the opposite end opened for Dorothy to enter. Raoul rushed ornate and grasped her hand the potent deposition, there by the stiffed life of a surprise that escaped his companion's lips. Swapping grandly into the room, with the air of a queen and the freshness of a rose, was the figure and features of the older woman done in miniature. After the introductions Antoinette sank weakly into a chair nearby. But the desire to know the truth quickly gave her strength. If this awful thing which seemed so near was true, then that was the end of all her happiness, and Raoul's and Dorothy's. But she did not know how to ask, how even to bring it around. Before they left, Mr. Telfair came in, tenderly caressed his daughter, joyfully greeted Hebert, and acknowledged with pleasure the introduction to Madame Renardi. Raoul mentioned the dinner of the next evening, which Antoinette reinforced, and upon her urgent invitation Dorothy agreed to come. On the way home Antoinette was strangely silent, but Hebert was too happy to notice it. He left her at the door. "I will bring Dorothy by and then hasten to the station for Dad," he said, in parting. "Don't tell him," she bogged, "don't let him know anything, please," she said. He promised, and drove away. Antoinette was in a state of feverish excitement all next day. Her first act was to telephone to a business agency downtown and ask for all the information they could obtain about Telfair, Doro- LARGE, LIGHT, FRONT ROOMS With Jath, Electric Lights, Enamel Sink and Gas Range. $88 Up.

The information was waiting for her when she reached her shop: "Teifal, Andrew B.-Aged 56. Occupation, retired. Came to New York from Cinchnatti, Ohio. Made a fortune in preserving and pickling business. Later sold plant to trust. Wildower, one daughter, who was legally adopted when she was one year old. Her parentage unknown. No other heirs." That was enough to tell her the whole story. Dorothy was her daughter—and Raoul's! And Dorothy was to marry Raoul's son! Only she of all the world knew it. Could she—should she stand by and let this awful thing happen? Raoul was coming tonight. How would it be possible to keep it from him? Should she keep it from him? She wanted him with all the heart hunger of a woman of her blood. He was too near now to give him up again. She would not lose him again. Moreover, why should she wreck the happiness, the life of her child and cause her to suffer what she had all her life suffered? Then she realized how much she loved that child now. Now that she had found her, she would not give her up. She could make sure of her own happiness by sacrificing her child's. She could secure her child's happiness by sacrificing her own. She realized by what more chance she had even come to know this. Suppose Roulad had not stopped before her window. Suppose she had not looked up. They would have married and maybe lived happy ever afterwards. Had she any right to interfere? The woman and the mother were struggling. It was a drawn battle. She decided that she would so conceal her own individuality that Raoul would never know. Then she alone would still know. She knew that she was damning her own soul, but she was doing it for the daughter she loved. When her bell rang that night she rushed eagerly to meet Dorothy and Raoul, and fell back surprised. "Father came an hour earlier than we expected, so we brought him along. Madame, allow me to present my father, Raoul Hebert." Antolinette never knew how she went through the ordeal, but she did it successfully. Hebert Sr. was charmed with her. He showed it openly before the dinner was half over. When they reached the demi-tasse Herbert Sr. rose to his feet. "Drink with me," he said, "to the wedding of four souls instead of two," and, bending, he took Antolinette's hand in one of his, while his other hand slowly encircled her waist. Fitting, she covered her face with her hands and turned sobbing into his arms. Then he pushed her hands away and their lips met in one long ecstatic kiss. Raoul Jr. was beaming with happiness and led Dorothy out onto the balcony to tell the story to her. When Hebert had ruined kisses on her lips and brows, and Antoinette had sunk, flushed and estatic, to a divan in the corner, it was after their troth was plighted and their future happiness assured. Then Raoul caught sight of a tiny scar that lay to the left of her heaving breast. With a start he rushed to her. Almost he tore her bodice open. "Let me see, let me see," he cried wildly. "Are you—are you Cecil Paure?" Series-7, No. 48 Landaulet Cabriolet Enclosed Dr. Limousine His face was distorted and his eyes afname. "Is that girl your—your child?" "I do not know," she lied tremblingly. "I did not meet her until last night. I do not know her." She saw the look in his eyes, the horror that they depicted. "I shall find out now, before it is too late," he said in despair, and turned quickly toward the door. "Walt! Walt!" she screamed. "Don't do that! Don't." Then she jumped between him and the door and quickly closed it, turning the key behind her. "You cannot do this thing. We do not know. We must find out. I will time." She spoke sharply, every sentence betraying the english of her soul. "If she is my child, I cannot see her happiness ruthlessly destroyed until we are sure. You must wait." There was determination, precision, madness and despair in her words. For a moment they stood there, she with a look of pleading in her eyes and he with the rage of a lion. The Mother in her nature had overcome the Woman. He rushed wildly at her, flung her aside and pushed outward against the door. She thought rapidly and then decided. There was only one thing to do. Before he could turn the key she pulled open the drawer of a sideboard and with one despairing scream fired point blank at his body as he turned at the sound of the scream. Then she crumpled up on the floor as the bullet which entered his heart did its work. Alcidian Club Entertains (Continued from Page 4.) Palacio Jr., Charles G. Griswold, Arthur Bayman, Charles H.

Positively Relieves PAIN Sufferers from the sharp, knife-like pains, the dull, throbbing, continuous aches which accompany kidney troubles and liver afferences, can find relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It will bring almost immediate relief from the terrible suffering, and will not interfere with, but will positively assist any derangements—which your physician has prescribed. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster is not to be considered as a remedy in any sense for these organic derangements—your physician must be consulted and his treatment taken for remedying the underlying causes. The plaster warms and soothes, and its medication at once begins to be abolished through the skin directly to the affected pits. Its beneficial suits continue as long as the plaster remains on the body. Be sure to ask for the Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drugstores.

Wednesday, February 22, 1928 George Washington GREAT MEN must love brevity, as so many of them chose the shortest month of the year to be born in. Aew days ago we were celebrating Douglass, Lincoln and Booker Washington, then came Edison's turn. Today we hail another Washington whose name is rather well known. We shall hear about his cherry tree. His military exploits and his great gifts of mind and character. The cherry tree is somewhat discredited, but there is no doubt about the mind and character. IT WOULD be better if modern biographers of Washington had been satisfied with discrediting the cherry tree story. They have unfortunately tried to find every little flaw in its conduct and dwell upon it as if it were the most important thing about him. They are like the man who looked upon the masterpiece of a great painter and saw nothing but any fly specks in the corner. Whether Washington drank and wore does not matter; it does matter that his genius and character eld together thirteen scattered colonies, liberated them, and welded them into what has become the most powerful nation of the world. epublic or Empire? TWO THINGS happened last week which caused thoughtful Americans to turn uneasy eyes toward Nicaragua. One was a charge against the United States Department of State, made by the All-America Anti-Imperialist League. The League charges that when Charles Yale Harrison, a New York journalist, tried to go to Nicaragua to interview General Sandino for an American newspaper syndicate he was forcibly detained at Honduras and compelled to return to New York. THE OTHER was the publication by The Nation and the Herald Tribune of an article by Carleton Beals, who succeeded in getting through to Nicaragua and interviewing Sandino. Beals writes that the United States has enlisted the aid of Honduras against Sandino, that the Honduras press is muzzled and that a poet who wrote verses in favor of Sandino was sent to jail for a month. He says that two of Sandino's chief demands are the immediate withdrawal of the American marines and supervision of the elections by Latin-Americans. SANDINO has been called a bandit, but his words are not those of a bandit; they would have fitted the mouth of George Washington when he was fighting the British. The worst feature of the business is the curtailing of Latin-American freedom of speech by American military power. In Nicaragua the marines seem to be repeating their record in Haiti and the Virgin Islands. Thinkers will wish to know whether this country is to remain a republic or become an empire. EDITORIAL PAGE Think Twice! FOR FIVE YEARS the people of this country have been shouting prosperity. It is now time for the shouts to die down and give way to sober thought. The past year was not only unprosperous; it brought anxiety to the working classes which threatens to grow worse in 1928. According to the report of Industrial Commissioner Hamilton to Governor Smith, issued this week, 1927 was the worst year for unemployment since 1921. COMMISSIONER HAMILTON states that in 23 cities of New York State the building trades showed a 13 per cent decrease of business in 1927 as compared with 1926; that in New York City there were 40 per cent fewer jobs and 50 per cent more applicants. This city has been especially hard hit and the colored people have suffered more than other groups. The Urban League, reporting conditions among Negroes, states that in January, 1927, there were 365 applicants for every 100 jobs, and that in January, 1928, there were 1,075 applicants for every 100 jobs. WHEN for every man who gets a job there are ten men out of a job the situation is grave. And it may become graver. This is a Presidential campaign year and at such times business shuts down till after the election, perhaps till the inauguration. The prospect for the next fall and winter is gloomy. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS would warn its readers to go slow with their money. Let the radios and victrolas and player pianos wait till you see how you are coming out. Make the old clothes do for a while and think twice before you buy anything more on instalments. Put every possible dollar in the bank, and if the threatened storm comes you may weather it. If by God's grace it doesn't come you will be that much better off. Picking Great Men WHO KNOWS how to point out a great man? Emil Ludwig, a famous German author visiting America, says that the four greatest persons in this country are Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, Thomas A. Edison and Jane Addams. Except in the case of Edison not many Americans would agree with him; they might wish to know how many Americans of the 120,000,000 in this country he has managed to meet in his brief visit. But that is the way of foreign visitors; they live here a month and think they are qualified to write a book on America. AS TWO of Herr Ludwig's choices are the richest men in the world he is evidently impressed with wealth. By that measurement England's greatest man is the Duke of Westminster. Rome's was not Caesar but Croesus, Persia's was King Midas, and the greatest of all Europe are the Rothschilds. By wealth or any other measure no man's greatness can be accurately estimated while he is alive, for the necessary perspective is lacking. During the lives of Shakespeare, Socrates, Pasteur, Lincoln, Columbus, Milton, Michelangelo and many others, anyone who listed them among the greatest men of their respective countries would have been laughed at. The man whom coming generations will call the greatest American of this century may now be working away in some obscure garret or laboratory, unable to pay his rent and unknown to more than a dozen people. "Jockeyed" Out of Jobs BLACK AND WHITE: An Anthology of Washington Verse. Compiled and Edited by J. C. Byars Jr. Published by The Crane Press, Washington, D. C. Price $1.50. BLACK AND WHITE is an anthology limited to current poems written by Washingtonians. The majority of the poets chosen are young people. The verse at times is crude, but the compiler is catholic in his taste. In his Foreword he tells us that the vast percentage of poetry is given over to the acceptance of philosophical platitudes and a prevalence of undistinguished emotions expressed in a juvenile manner. He has endeavored to eliminate such poems from his book, but confesses that he has not wholly succeeded, since by so doing the volume would have been sadly restricted as to size. But he has gathered together such current verse by minor poets in his city of Washington as he feels may be of interest and value to the element in the public that reads contemporary verse. A JOCKEY is one who rides horses, especially at a race course. The name, in its nominal form, is derived from "Jock," which is the Scotch equivalent of the English "Jack." As a verb, the term jockey means to cheat or to gain advantage by unfair means. The verbal meaning of the term is undoubtedly derived from the well-known practice of the jockey to manipulate the race horse which he is assigned to ride so as to win the race by some dishonorable trick or to lose it through some sinister understanding. My attention was called to this topic by an article in the Washington Post of January 30 on "Isaac Murphy," the one-time famous Negro jockey. The article is by Charles W. Watson, who seems to have made an exhaustive study of the whole story of the Negro jockey. I can hardly do better to enforce the point which I wish to make than by quoting copiously from Mr. Watson's article. "Nothing is more apparent than the thinning ranks of Negro jockeys, once supreme on the American turf. Harely does one see a Negro jockey under colors on the American course these days unless the fighter is large and thereby wide choice of mounts. Looking back over a period of thirty years the best of them were colored. "Most of these old-time boys were products of the South, the majority of them claiming to be 'bred in old Kalnuttucky.' Many changes have occurred and the race courses have made more difficult. When the sport of racing grew in favor the Negro riders were unseated by ambitious white boys, who were taught the art of piloting throughhreds almost over night. The colored boys thereafter had few chances. With the passing of the colored technician the passing of the colored exercise veteran Negro trainers. The records and achievements of the Negro rider provide a wealth of interest. There will never be a day in racing history to equal the day when Billy Warren rode Ten Breuck and defended the famous four-mile race at Churchill Downs on the 5th of July, 1874. "Walker as an expert on pedigree could call offhand the blood lines of any horse in the Blue Grass stakes, and he could call offhand the turf no name has stood out like that of Isaac Murphy. He was a national figure and his name and fame were known to everyone. He was a star thirty years ago and one of the characters in the history of the turf. I over about Lexington, KY, and start a talk about horses the natives will point over to a little hill and say: "There lies Isaac Murphy, the greatest jockey of all time. Born in Dinky, Kentucky, among the greatest breeders of race horses in the world. No tribute can be too great for this wonderful Negro jockey, who played the game of life like a thoroughbred."

Hence, the volume's name. And as one reads the verse of Angelina Grimke, of Georgia Douglas Johnson, of Walter E. Hawkins, and of Louis Alexander, one finds that they bring beauty and inspiration to the book. It would be cold without them. They do not strive for effect, except perhaps Alexander's Japanese Hokku, but are natural, direct. "The days lie dark between our jeweled meetings, Like wintry burials." Georgia Johnson sings in Interlim. And Angelina Grimke opens with: DAWN, "Grey trees, grey skies, and not a star: Grey mist, grey hush; And then trail, exquisite, afar, A hermit thrush." 3y KELLY MILLER learned from a white turfman of aristocratic standing and who is friendly disposed to the race that the Negro jockey lost out by reason of dissipation and bad habits. Here we have much food for thought and contemplation. No one would expect sterling qualities of character to be developed among stable boys. Horse racing is a game which leads to such evil consequences that many States have forbidden the practice and others have had to place serious restrictions upon the attendant M. - Ketiy Muller - evilis. The Negro becomes the easy victim of evil communication which corrupts good character. He is more amenable to the crooked suggestions of the white evil-doer. Indeed, the white crook seeks out the unsuspecting Negro as his natural prey. The master minds among the bootleggers seek out the colored confederate to do the dirty work while he hides his hand behind the guise of respectability. The juxtaposition of the Negro and the bad white man lies at the basis of much of our racial troubles. If the colored jockeys lost out on this account, they became the unconscious victims of the subtle, double-acting danger which lurks in race prejudice. It steals away the Negro's consciousness of right ero he is awore. Mr. Watson does not seem to sense this sinister factor in accounting for the failure of the Negro jockey, but interprets it in terms of Anglo-Saxon competition. This alone is sufficient to account for the disappearance of the Negro, not only from the race track, but from many another line of competitive endeavor. In this connection let it be noted that the failure was in no whit due to technical skill. The testimony seems to show that the Negro jockeys attained a degree of technical efficiency which their white supplanters have not yet been able to surpass, if, indeed, to equal. The only two remaining causes would be (1) deficiency in character and (2) the iron law of racial competition. Booker T. Washington, of whose philosophy and wisdom we hear too little nowadays, used to lauret the supplanting of the Negro coachman, waiter and barber by white competitors by reason of superior efficiency and fidelity. Of course, he had industrial adu- CHAT THE OVINGTON Theology of Washington Verse. Com- pany Jr. Published by The Crane Price $1.50. An anthology limited to current washingtonians.

The Negro adds much to the volume. There are four Negro and twelve white poets. One, Luelle Everette, is delicate in her method. She has a careful Portrait of a Girl Sewing, her needle Desire, who "Pricks life carefully, with sharp grace." There are sonnets by Sherman Eldridge Johnson, but eighteen years old, that contain rare lines; but the verse of the whites seems to have been printed for its boldness and cruelty. The course himself can write such lines as this: "She was my Almighty God. She does not be, but is out in 1915 at Bristol, Va." He also says: "Even the little Christian girls Have pretty butts and legs." --- LETTERS cation in mind and Tuskegee Institute in the background. But, in the light of current happenings, we can more accurately analyze the cause of this displacement. It may indeed be that character and efficiency figure to some extent. But the basic cause is white competition. The Negroes are displaced because the whites want the jobs. The preferred race is given first choice of work and the despised race may take what is left. I was in Atlantic City last year when the colored writers in one of the largest hotels were about to be replaced by white women waitresses. Various plausible reasons were assigned. But a deeper understudy easily disclosed the basic principle that Negro men were occupying positions which white women would be glad to accept. I also saw, for the first time since I began to go to Atlantic City more than a quarter of a century ago, white men pushing roller chairs on the Boardwalk. The thought occurred to me that, in case of a line of idle white men, the Negro chair pusher would stand a slender chance. Not because he might be a less efficient chair pusher, but because numbers of the preferred race wanted that type of work. There is one fixed principle of Negro employment. He fares best in those pursuits of an individual character which are not easily organizable. But wherever organization enters a field of industry the Negro, in some fashion or other, is jockeyed out. The white man, in his supercilious arrogance, disdains to engage in the same form of work at the same time and under the same conditions. There are hotels which employ white waiters and colored bellboys, while others employ colored waiters and white bellboys. The white bricklayer and the colored hodcarrier make a satisfied and contented team. But workmen of the two races must not lay bricks on the same wall. That would be unethical from the point of view of the white labor world. On a Pullman car every passenger knows that the porter requires as great intelligence, tact, politeness and good-sense to perform his duties satisfactorily as the Pullman conductor. And yet we find that the lines of racial demarkation are as firmly fixed as in a Hindu caste. Here is one very important field of industry where the Negro holds the monopoly: the Negro Pullman porter seems to possess certain innitable qualities which peculiarly adapt him to this service, so that there seems little danger of displacement. It is not servility, but civility which makes him irreplaceable. In the recent Northern migration the Negro fitted in to fill the vacuum in the industries created by war and restricted immigration. But he is the last to be taken on and the first to be laid off. The educated Negro, say above high-school level, has in a general way been able to find occupation in the upper levels of service. But this field is well-nigh filled. The only unoccupied sphere is in the field of business. If the Negro business man can "beat the Jew," this business possibility is limitless. Let the Negro learn from the story of the jockey how he is being jockeyed out of his opportunity for jobs along all lines of endeavor. "The Little Round Belly-o" of the ladies of today. One is glad that the colored writers preserve their good taste. May they do so not only today but in the days to come. The Negro has fine material of which to sing without going into anatomy. However, we are grateful to Mr. Byars for his lack of prejudice and the charming make-up of his volume. He doesn't trouble much about spelling, but why cavil? He has given us verse that has in it vitality and sometimes beauty. MUSIC Schubert Music Club Gives Concert At the anniversary concert of the Schubert Music Club at Imperial Auditorium Thursday night the hall was filled to capacity. Edward Margesot, president and music director of the Schubert Music Club, made a brief speech preceding the concert, telling of the club's aims and ideals. The club, he said, was organized in January of 1927, and is devoted to the artistic development of the people of Europe. Mrs. Hillian Titley, first on the program, gave a pleasing rendition of one of Rubinstein's difficult piano selections. She was followed by Miss Muriel Davies, quite a young miss, who displayed her versatility by playing a value in 13 minor by Chopin. Miss Doris Trotman, a guest artist that night, sang Mascagni's "Romanza," from Cavalleria Rusticana, in Italian. She has a pleasing soprano range and very good tonal qualities. The work of David I. Martin on the 'cello is well known, but his rendition of Schubert's "Ave Marina" Thursday night was partic- The Negro in the World's Literature By THOMAS L. G.

He was educated at Northwestern University and at the University of Chicago. The writings of Johnson are restricted to one particular style—and that is brevity. His poems are usually short and carefully wrought, subdued in tone and suggestive, rather than strongly picturesque. What he has done has fascination and distinction and is irreproachable in form. Franklin speaking, he is a sign of the times, but not a leader nor a maker. His poems, though narrow at times, are of rare beauty. The sensuous beauty and splendor are often amazing and, were they as commendable in point of ethics and common-sense, Johnson would be a leader of the poets of today. We may take him as he is or do without him. There is no golden road to him. The rhymes of Johnson are good. In fact, he shows literary accomplishment, And he seldom is ever crude, because he is sensitive to beauty, which comes from the fountain of his heart. Loftiness of thought, deep paths, soft passion blend uniquely in his poems. He is a artist. Later, when Martin appeared again on the program, playing "Scherzo" by Goons, he gave a wonderful demonstration of his mastery of the 'cello. Mr. Margeston himself gave a rendition from Schubert, and his sister, Miss Marie Margeston, played delightfully on the piano a prelude in E flat from Chaloff. But no less a treat of the evening was the ensemble singing by the club, composed of a number of ladies and men, directed by Mr. Margeset. "All Through the Night," a Welsh air, arranged by Lutkin, gave a pleasing illustration of harmonious blending of voices. This soft easy going selection gave way to the very difficult work of Sullivan's "Chorus of the Peers," from Iolanthe, sung by the men of the ensemble. The tenors are John Francis, Ernest Iles, Everton Miller, Carl Bryan and Fred Edmade; while the basses are Clifford Armstrong, Joseph Dechalos, William Woodley, Cyril Clarke and Karl Margeset. The concert closed with the singing of "Madrigal" from Mikado, another of those snappy and difficult Sullivan selections, rendered by the entire club.—C. M. The Dixie Jubilee Singers, under the direction of Miss Eva Jessey, presented a group of folk songs and spirituals on Feb. 11, 13 and 15, in Wanamaker's auditorium, in honor of the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln. They sang to capacity houses all three days. On Monday Morris Caver was unable to appear as the guest artist. Miss Eloise Uggams filled his place, singing Harry Burleigh's "Jean." Richard Harrison, reader, was guest artist on Wednesday. G. Thurston Noe was the organist, playing his own composition, "Fantasy on Negro Themes," and "Old Slave Melody," by Garner. A composition for pianó and organ was played by Mr. Noe and Edward Coleman, accompanist. The Dixie Jubilee Singers are: Eva Jessey, Lucille Dickson, Eloise Uggams, Muriel Battey, Johnnette Williams, Edward Jones, Phillip Patterson, Purnell Hall, Robert Ecton and G. Williard MacLean. The Lincoln University Glee Club will give a recital here at the St. James Presbyterian Church on Monday evening, March 25. It will be the first appearance of the Glee Club in this city. The alumni of Lincoln in New Jersey and New York are co-operating in making the appearance of the Glee Club in New York a success. Chauncey Northern, the young tenor, who recently gave a recital at Steinway Hall, left last Saturday evening for a three weeks' concert four, in which he will appear in Richmond, Petersburg, inapton inington D. He will return here later in to give a request recital on Thursday evening, March 15, at Imperial Auditorium. Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON The Letters We Write WE rarely stop to consider how much of ourselves we reveal in the letters we write. Not the words and phrases—not what we put down intentionally, but what is shown by the paper we use, the way we write, the general appearance of both envelope and enclosure. We picture our very selves when we send a letter—the less conscious we are, the more perfect the portrait. This being true, it is well to be more careful, more guarded, more in command of ourselves when we write, for the impressions so made are more in Dixie Jubilee Singers To Sing Here On Concert Tour born at Chicago, Ill., May 27 at Northwestern University and ago. are restricted to one particular as poems are usually short and in tone and suggestive, rather that he has done has fascina reproachable in form. Franklin times, but not a leader nor a great musician. No one who has read his compositions can forget the splendor of youth that shine in his works. No one has sung truthfully and touchingly aspirations, sensibilities, doubts and hopes. Much of his poetry is entirely free from moral taint. Of recent years Johnson has been silent. For what reason do not know. Since his last published book of poems he seems to have lost the fire of poetry. Or is he engaged in compiling something of length? Although his writings are in no way volumous, I have found pleasure in their perusal. Here you have him in one of his solemn mood in "When I Die": When I die my song shall be Crooning of the summer's breeze; When plea my shroud shall be Leaves plucked from the maples trees; On a couch as green as moss And a bed as soft as down I shall sleep and dream my dream Of a poet's laurel crown. When I die my star shall drop Singing like a nightingale; In the rose my blood shall be, In the violet the smile. And the moonbeans, thousand strong, Past my grave each night shall file. And before death should come to snatch the breath of life, I sings of love and beauty, I "Love's Good-Night": Good-night! Good-night! my love. good-night! We shall meet here again when bright The moon shines o'er the dis- tant hill And mocking-bird begins to thrill. What, though a parent's wrath should come? It cannot make my loving dumb; Tomorrow night I shall await You here at our love's trysting gate. And in the days that shall be here Your love my full soul shall re- vere; So, till the rounded moon comes bright, Good-night! My love, good-night! Good-night! Good-night! Love to him is like "a wanderer across the sea." How much of love he knows! I could go or quoting him forever. He is my model of a poet, who is born to sing songs, love and the peace and life of death. But the peace would know more about him than my pen could ever report he should study him more and discuss him less. He is the anthor of the following little inconparable books of mellow songs "A Little Dreaming." "Visions of the Dusk" and "Songs of the Soil."
