Feb. 25.—Josephine Baker was the subject of a long debate in the Austrian National Parliament today. Dr. Jerzabeck, a leader of the Clerical Party and a practicing physician for twenty-five years, declared he was opposed to her appearance, not because of her color or nationality, but because she appeared before the public "dressed only in a postage stamp." "Moreover," he contended, "her dances are devoid of any real art consisting only of grotesque distortions and writhing grimaces. "It is scandalous," he shouted, "that we are asked to pay 100,000 shillings to see nudity when a hundred thousand workmen are walking the streets of Vienna searching for employment and food." The Social Democrats, who rule the city of Vienna, replied sarcastically: "Then see to it that none of your bourgeois friends see her dances and nudity."

There, in my homeland, the Negro is on a par with his white brother; group prejudice is practically nil and society is governed by a code of liberal principles."

The Count further declared that Jose De Patrocinio, a Negro whom he placed in a minor position a few years ago, is now president of one of the chain banks. What is your opinion of the ex-isting group prejudice in America?" he was asked. "I have not been afforded an opportunity to study the American black and white problem." he replied, "but it is my opinion that Americans as a whole would live better if they endeavored to understand each other more. I, for one, am an advocate of equality for the Negro in general channels, but not in social liberties. "Why not?" he was asked. There followed a pause in which the Count appeared to weigh his thoughts. Finally he spoke. "Because it is my belief that the Negro race is as noble and as great as any other and that liberalism of two extremes would only breed contempt." Count Machado further said that at least 400 Negroes are employed in executive government positions in Sao Paulo alone; that the leading state senator is a Negro, and that five members of Parliament, two generals and one admiral are Negroes. In concluding, the Count expressed a desire to meet Negro civile leaders here before his departure for Palm Beach tomorrow, so as to exchange data and observations on the race problem.

In her affidavits Mrs. Smith said her husband makes between $2,000 and $7,000 gross, every week as a policy banker, but that expenses and losses bring his earnings down to $1,000 a week net.

The court ruled that the plaintiff being a minor was therefore not entitled to enter into a legal contract, and that the one contested for was thus rendered null and void. The award of judgment to the plaintiff was temporarily postponed, to allow the defense a week in time to file the plaintiff's attested by certificates and other documents presented by his attorney. The trial disclosed the fact that Woodward paid the mentioned sum for a contract to plaster thirty-two frame houses in New Jersey. Upon receiving the contract, he found that the sum which would accrue to him under the terms would be insufficient to provide the material and labor involved. He appalled to the construction company for its refusal to refund of his deposit. The construction agents refused both. He was represented by the law firm of Watts, Flagg and Grigg, 200 West 136th street. MAN NARROWLY MISSES SENTENCE FOR LIFE Arthur Thomas, 36, 237 West Sixty-seventh street, found guilty on a charge of attempted burglary by a jury in Part I of General Sessions Court Thursday morning, was dealt with mercifully by Judge Donnellan when arraigned again on Friday. He was given a suspended sentence of probation for a year, the court giving as a reason the fact that plaintiff has served three previous sentences and that conviction in this instance would automatically force the court to impose a life sentence.

THE SELF-SUSTAINING JUVENILE DEPAFT- THE MUSEUM NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 29, 1928 Segregation of Prisoners Resented Washington Citizens Say Judge's Stand Renders Him Unfit WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27. Judge Isaac R. Hitt, of the police court of the District of Columbia, does not know that segregation of colored and white prisoners awaiting trial is an affront to colored people. He told a committee from the Washington Bar Association that he intended no insult when he suggested in a signed article appearing in a Sunday paper that segregation of colored and white prisoners awaiting trial ought to be instituted in the District of Columbia. He got his idea of segregating prisoners from the segregated school system in the District of Columbia, he said. The committee that waited continued to appoint a meeting of the Washington Bar Association last Thursday night. It consisted of Charles E. Robbahn, Eric Alexander and Charles H. Houston. The Bar Association adopted a resolution declaring that if the signed article expressed the views of Judge Hitt, it regarded him as unfit to be a police court judge. The members of the Bar Association took the police court judge, who believes in segregating prisoners, might also believe in segregated justice—one kind for white offenders and another kind for colored offenders. In fact, many lawyers who try cases before Judge Hitt declare that it is impossible to get a fair and impartial trial where the testimony of white and colored persons is in compliance with the word, they say, he will take the word of the white person, especially if he should be a police man. Edward Acker, 84, 110 West 136th street, charged with being one of three men who held up and robbed Tony Reda, white, owner of a store at 461 Lenox avenue, was discharged in Heights Court Saturday by Magistrate Simpson when Reda failed to identify him.

Cuba Closes Door to West Indian Laborers HAVANA, Fub. 23. — Entry of West Indian labor into Cuba, which has been authorized every year by special Presidential decree at the request of sugar mills needing harvest hands, will no longer be permitted, it was stated in official circles Thursday. The entry of such labor was prohibited by a military decree issued by the late Gen. Leonard Wood twenty-seven years ago. The decision to bar the labor this year is understood to have been reached at a Cabinet meeting. No legislative action will be necessary because the doors of Cuba are automatically closed except when opened by presidential decree. Although this labor is supposed to be brought in under bond and shipped back after the harvest season, there are 70,000 British West Indians registered at the British Consulate of Cuba.

ALLEN. An one passer a nice looking store front at 2270 Seventh avenue the attention is arrested by the name on the window of the Virginia Market. At first glance it might be thought that the place is a white business establishment like so many others in Harlem, but it is not. It is the word "Virginia" that makes one look at the store the second time, and upon inquiry you find to your delight and pleasure that the "Virginia Market" is a Negro enterprise conducted by three well known men in partnership. The "Virginia Market" is the only enterprise of its kind along Seventh avenue and is one of the best equipped and efficiently conducted establishments in the dark metropolis. The market deals in vegetables, groceries and meats, and makes a specialty of Virginia products such as corn meals, country-cured hams and sausages. Inquiry was made as to what extent Harlem Negroes are supporting the enterprise and the writer was informed that 93 per cent of the customers are Negroes. This figure, therefore, does not bear the contention that Negroes do not support their own business houses. The establishment is near two of the largest churches in Harlem, whose members have been advised to support the enterprise and aid in the furtherance or promotion of movements that will improve the economic status of the race.

KUTE COMMENT BY COMIC Try This Method LOCAL chapters of the Alpha and Omega fraternities vied at basket ball Wednesday evening at the Itenaisance Casino. The Alphas were in the lead at one time, and were praying for the roof to cave in. The disaster failed to occur, however, so they resorted to their old system of "winners lose," and finally succumbed by the score of 32-31. There is nothing unusual in this, except to point out the fact that the Alphas seemingly have not yet learned how to bribe the scorekeeper.

Jubilee Singapore Invite New Station Because of the publicity it has been receiving as a result of the broadcasting activities of the Utica Jubilee Singers, the little town of Utica, Miss., has embarked upon a project to construct a radio broadcasting station of its own. Although the singers represent the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, which is located in the pine woods five miles out of town, they have become associated in the public mind with the little village of 500 inhabitants. These people, who live far from the great centers of population, have been made conscious of the tremendous power of radio, and have resolved to obtain some of its benefits for themselves. Although the Utica Institute has been sending out singers for two decades, it was only when they began broadcasting that they became in any degree famous.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 29, 1928 HOUSEWINE'S EXCHANGE The Refrigerator, This household refrigerator plays so important a part in the modern home that it has come to be a taken-for-granted piece of equipment. Yet, it has been estimated that not more than 40 per cent of homes use it, enjoying the benefits of refrigeration. What is more significant, not more than 17 per cent of such homes use their refrigerators throughout the winter months. This practice of discontinuing the use of a refrigerator during cold weather is one which the writer does not recommend. Window Boxes Unsafe Many of my readers 'have frequently questioned the advisability of using window boxes or other convivances in which to keep foods cold. Such boxes, are dependent on suitable temperatures and their disadvantages, are ubiquitous. Foods often freeze when outside temperatures go down, whereas at other times the temperature of the box may go up to a point where food will not keep. This is especially true if the sun shines directly upon the box. Then, too, if the box is not insulated, the food is structured, dirt sifts in on the food, making it an unsanitary storage space. Do Not Wrap Ice in Newspaper. Where ice is used, we are frequently asked to advises as to the desirability of wrapping the ice in newspapers, blankets, etc. My answer is that the practice is a detrimental refrigeration, rue enough. Ice is saved, but the ice itself is not of refrigeration. The air in the ice chamber, instead of being thoroughly chilled from the cold surfaces of the ice itself, is only partially chilled because of covering on the ice. This results in higher food composition and texture throughout the food compartment. Mrs. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. C. W.

Sharpe Refrigerator Demands Cleansing Bath on Time. The good housekeeper, knowing the importance of cleanliness in guarding the safety of the family's food supply, cleans her refrigerator every week the whole year round. Dark, damp corners in which forgotten particles of food take refuge are dangerous to health and safety.

Then, if you wish to use a contrasting color, get one that harmonizes with it. Let your accessories, such as hat, shoes and bag, be such that they can be worn with this dress or with one the color of your trimmings—thus economizing. It is wiser to keep to one or two shades when one's finances are limited. Otherwise, there is likely to be a chill of colors and you lose the stylistic effect for which you study.

Downs who had the courage to attempt something which later gave the colored section of Harlem era in things theatrical, which later Broadway turning its eye toward this section of the city and sending the most talented members of the theatre world from that great street to personally take note on the change for the better which had arrived after Mrs. Downs gave it its start at her New Lincoln Theatre. That great little band of courageous performers that played and studied hard in their spare time went on to great heights when Harlem went wild with acclaim for the ability for the first time coming into the light. It was from Mrs. Downs' theatre that Florence Mills went to her later fame, and so did Charlie Gilpin, who became the talk of the country when he appeared in "The Emperor Jones." A Million Dollar Gala Ball GIVEN BY The UNITED of GEORGIA SONS Be Popular PLAY in a JAZZ BAND Earn More It was the Lincoln Theatre from which Frank Williams also demanded the attention of Broadway, to say nothing of a number of those other people who later found that the Lincoln stool for something in their dramatic lives, and to the Lincoln comes another departure next Monday night. March 5, which will without doubt find the support of a good many of the colored people in Harlem craving something more than half-naked women, "hoofing," suggestive blues, bringing with them deprived booedgers standing in the alleys and establishing under their feet a place in their attempt to debauch the people of the stage for the few ill gotten dollars which seldom, if ever, bring them the results which they seek. And so to Idris Anderson will go on the credit if success should crown the efforts of the new departure. In and out of season Mrs. Anderson has sought a hearing. She had every right to attend, but she had done great work as an manager of the Lafayette Players. Like all of us, she has her enemies, but she will perhaps rise to a plane that will leave these hating her without just cause in silent respect at least. Opening Monday night, she will head the company which will also be back in town to attend the award Thompson and Monty Haylew. The first of a series of dramatic playlets will be "The Scrub Woman," but a forerunner of bigger things if this move finds a quick response at the hands of Lincoln Theatre audiences Mrs. Downs will continue to present a revue as part of the stage attraction, which will be the first great reputation for the pictures all ways to be seen at this house, the show should go over as expected. In keeping with the new trend of things, programs will be handled auditorially and introduced of the artists appearing on the stage. When the jazz era stepped in, theatre owners in this community did not even think enough of their talent. The real showhouse, Lincoln Theatre audiences in the past placed their stamp of approval on a higher form of entertainment as given by their own people, and we can see no reason why the summa ness will fall to rise to the occasion next week.

LAWREN COOPER 316 West 130th St. Audubon 6470 LAFAYETTE PLAYERS AT LINCOLN THEATRE Death of Al Johns Recalls the Early Days BY KARL F. PHILLIPS. "AL" Johns' songs are ended, but his melodies linger on. The great soulful pianist of West Fifty-third street, of years gone by, has paid his final tribute to King Harmony, and has made his peace with the Master Organist of man's destiny, and, like "Athalite" old, has tousled himself into a musical rest which knows no awakening. Johns did recently in Paris where he had lived for the past few years. "AL" Johns was more than a more pianist. He was a creator of harmony, both weird and beautiful. His original modulations with eddenas still echo in the memories of music lovers. "AL" could even give new life to the diatonic scale. His touch revealed the soul of the composer in a new abandonment to musical prose. His interpretations which but few musicians were able to blend into tone-stories. An incomparable figure of the old club Chef in West Fifty-third street, broadened our into international talent, and helped others revealed musical charms which even the creator knew not of; and his own creative genius was marked by his simplicity and the art of a truly musical soul. He was born of old, when Ford Dahney, Pater Penaver, Walter Crane, Hallie Anderson, the incomparable Will Marion Cook, of "Ennacipation Day" fame, Will Tyers, the greatest piano player, John Lennon, Jordan Clarkton, Bob Doyle, Jordan Clarkton, James Europe, and the host of Negro musical pioneers of New York were making musical history for the race from Sullivan street to Harlem, "AI" John remained in his own peculiar style, with uncanny touch, unerring ear, sympathetic interpretation, and an original sense of motif which none but "AI" had, he blazed a musical trail which we live from New York to Paris, and "AI" the great divide, a just few days back. And as we close, "Ally" "For the Lost Same Call Me Sweatheart" again echoes our memory—one of the many simple facts we have learned in the five art, peculiar to just one or two, now and then, in the lifetime of such reminisces as "A" John, our departed husband as "A" John, our never die long as piano soundingboards remain resonant.

Halleijah, we are now a sapulent being, fears is but pro tempore. Say not, indulgent reader, it. From Meccas to Melachrinos THERE was nothing in the transition which we experienced in going over from Mecca to Melachrinos almost over night, despite our long use of and association with the former. And yet elements of the drama should have entered into this history-making epoch in the life of one who has so adulously stuck to that brand which has served to bring the inspiration which we find so necessary in indicting these fulsome epistles on the accomplishments, or lack of accomplishment, on the part of many of our entertainers passing for actors. Some months ago the little glove artist from St. Louis known as Benny Hall came to in to see us, and with an observant eye, which has had a great deal to do with his success in the ring, took note of the part our Meccas played when, for his adification, we rose to sanguinary heights in our denunciation of a condition which robs the colored mitt pusher of his well-earned chance for fair play in the roped arena. Benny, obviously, must have fallen under the spell of our inspired oratory, for he returned the other night and brought with him one of those large tins of Melachrinos, which he passed over as a present to your humble chronicler. Hall must have argued that if we could have heights in Mecca, there would possibly be a limit while basking in the aroma of the superior brand of nicotinian solace. But the result to us is most unsatisfactory. This new (at least to us) sap weed has taken us into a mental sphere to which we are unacustomed. Note that already we have cluttered up these paragraphs with certain high-sounding words which in the days of Meccas we did not dream we possessed. As we become more and more enmeshed in the savvy quality of these Melachrino plains, we find we are inclined to believe we should be taken more seriously. Where in the past we were perfectly satisfied with the work of those supposed to be under us, we now believe that this same work is execrable. Malachrinos, apparently, have the same effect on some people as that something within some of us that makes us feel that our associates fall beneath the pale because through circumstances, which others might have had a hand in creating, we step from the rank of a private to that of an officer. Hallelujah, we are now a sapient being, even if this state of affairs is but pro tempore. Say not, indulgent reader, it is quantum suffelt.

Get from under, Chapple, or by the g HUMOROUS indeed are some of the things that permeate the Melachrinitic sphere in which we find ourselves. We have before us the Pittsburgh Courier, a most estimable Senegambian journal, with aspirations for covering these United States and their outlying possessions even as the morning dew. Cherishing such ambitions it is natural that the call of the Courier will bring many, although an insignificant few are of the chasen. Hence we have with us this day our good friend, Chapple Gardner, Soap Salesman Supreme to the Court of Chorus Chorie Contortionists, whose pericardium surrounds a necessary part of his makeup that would burst with its love for his fellowmen, but for the stoutness of the pericardium. Hurling himself into a discussion which only whales of the journalistic sea dare engage in, we see the Courier allowing Chapple these few words: "A few weeks ago one, Mr. Theopolis Lewis, a writer of prominence and self-styled critic of performers, plays, presentations and the like, released an article on Negro performers in a white magazine. Some of Mr. Lewis' remarks were not so complimentary to the Negro actors. They left a dark brown taste in the mouth. Salem Tutt Twitt, showman for 25 years, producer, poet, traveler and college graduate, gentleman, is answering Mr. Lewis in the Amsterdam News. One thing is to result from this controversy—Mr. Lewis will learn more about the history of the Negro performer than he knows now. Also that the 'better class' Negro taken as criterion by Mr. Lewis does not support anything—the theatres nor his educational institutions." Minnow in the same sea in which whales cavort, Chapple's little outburst proves to us that "Quos Dens vult perdere, prius damentet." Hot dog! Gimme another Melachrino. Might as well burn 'em up while they last. We mean burn up our friends. The very nature of Chapple's calling drives him out of the picture. How many cakes of soap would he sell to the actors if he read Theophilus Lewis' reply to Mr. Whitney in our last issue and dared tell the truth? Chapple, my boy, if the case was "Quad erat demonstrum" you had better read that whale of an answer from the pen of Mr. Lewis. This is no season for minnows. Get from under, Chapple, or by the gods.

On Broadway today you can see Negroes in news, and even when failure is the result of the attire town you are tricked into believing that the same veil age, is being offered you in Harlem.

AND so it came to pass that when what's his name beckoned unto the mountain, said mountain just refused to judge and remained where it was. Colored people seeking something better than what is offered the yokelery in darkest Harlem can make the pilgrimage to that Mecca (ye gods and little fishes! Mecca; yes, Mecca; where did I hear that name before? Ah-h-h-h! Begone, I have quite a few Melachrinos left), of theatrical offerings and find everything to satisfy the fastidious taste. Incidentally, it is only a yokel who would deny he does not cherish a fastidious taste. Mossa, Miller and Lyles, with their big company in "Keep Shufflin'", arrived on Monday to offer us the kind of entertainment which left Harlem when theatre owners decided to return to that form of production which held good in the days when cellar cabarets were known as "clubs" and John T. Gibson ran the North Pole. Those were also the days when called the theatres for Negroes were not ashamed of the then popular name of "Hole-in-the-Wall". On Broadway today you can see Negroes in all kinds of good shows, and even when failure is the result of the attempts of producers downtown you are tricked into believing that the same vehicle, for lack of patronage, is being offered you in Harlem. You see only the wreck of the Hesperus, brothers. Sometimes theatre managers using the famous ballyhoo he unmamed and tell you the show comes direct from Broadway. If local theatre managers had any idea of giving you the same kind of shows they would not have to wait until they came from Broadway. Poetic Musings That Are Mellow. SOFTLY I can see you smiling.

Why didn't you write the headlines to Lewis' reply in this week's issue as neutral as you wrote those of S. T. Whitney's, and let the readers decide who is right?" Well, we could say that any fool reading the headlines of Mr. Lewis' article as reproduced from "Ebony and Tops" would immediately recognize that neutrality in any aftermath in the case would be impossible, for we showed then that we shared the opinion of Mr. Lewis and in the same issue in which Mr. Whitney's reply appeared took an unholy joy in making announcement of what to expect. Had this person who took exception to that wonderful reply of Mr. Lewis' been reading the Amsterdam News for any length of time he would have recognized the utter futility of bucking his head against the stone wall which has stood for nigh on these twenty years in behalf of something superior in the theatre. To our wgy of thinking, Lewis backed up his magazine article in a most brilliant manner, but since the public must have a say, we reproduce for the edification of our friend the following letter, which we will gladly show him in the original if he has any doubts in the matter: New York City, February 24th, 1928.

Their action proved that the many years they have spent in the downtown theatres have come some of the dramatic works their program reveals an array of talent that any newspaper would be forced to reproduce, especially in a community where the majority of the acts only come at the behest of these same boys. Midnight at the large number of buildings you see a large number of people wending their way to the Alhambra, for aside from the program the sponsors of the affair have gained a reputation that will bring out hundreds that seldom venture into the theatres in the neighborhood. A glance at the appendix of the affair artfully describes many popular broadway celebrities: Will Mehoney, Alexandra & Olsen, Jean Bedini & Arthur, Bonin & Ruz, Chain & Archer, Lewey Wineglass and His Dancing Demons, Duckett & Onyway, Frank Fay, Allan Foster, Gitta clones, Fred Kinsley, Co, Jim McWilliams, Jordan & Lee, Four Pepper Shakers, Joe Cook, Jack Osterman, Shaw & Lee, Pearson Bros, Ted Tieman's Thamiths, Geo.

Lark Could Not Open Sunday Putnam Theatre Forced to Remain Dark Because of Fire Department Ban Although hundreds made the journey to the Putnam Theatre in Brooklyn to witness the advertised performance and sit in on the ceremonies marking the reopening, Manager Summer L. Lark was unable to go through with his main task and the show took the thirsty punishment good naturely, were advised that the house would positively open the coming Saturday night. Information glanced by an Amsterdam News representative discloses that the Fire Department placed a ban on the pump and the pump a small matter, perhaps, but one which had to be remedied after the discovery, made a short time before the opening of the house. It is said that Counselor Lark leased the house for the expectation that the owners would attend to this part of the necessary units that to go to make up the successful operation of a modern theatre, but this paper is not in a position to place the blime, the fact remaining the house did not open at the time calculated. The management invited those seeking admittance to enter the house with the keys, the socks and explained the situation which was well received, many present voicing the opinion that they would wait until the coming Saturday night. Ticketing for the nights performance were cheerfully refunded, many refusing to return the pasteboard, stating they would use them Saturday night, as they were persecuted by the misfortune which prevented the house opening on schedule. Josephine Baker Reported In Berlin After Being Barred VIENNA...A it is reported that Josephine Baker is in Berlin, where she has gone after being refused a permit to appear on the stage by the Viennese authorities. Her comments were made by the French papers on the incident. Clement Vautel, leading columnist, calling to mind that the noted dancer, Miltanguet, "was struck with the same extraclimm." Says Vautel: "The sacred union reigns in Austria. All the political parties, from the National Socialists, to the Socialists, at last find the answer in second about something: The black peril must be fought. "To speak truly, however, this peril is not black; it is really coffee and milk. Because it is Josephine Baker that is in question. This vendetta has demanded of Mr. Seipel, president of the council, to declare her undesirable, a request not very gallant, but well prepared to be heard by an eclecticist, Josephine Baker will therefore not applaud in a couple of bananas in that city, which boasts it is another Paris." The writer goes on to point out that similar restrictions would be true on the English and American stage and on the French and American Embassy the censors remove that brassated legs in Paris, saying to Josephine: "Hide those breasts that we cannot hear to look at." Vienna, where the opera and the waits, is anxious to keep out Jorz. Bohème is still a warm favorite here. ALHAMBRA 126th STREET and SEVENTH AVENUE Telephone Monument 4000 SIX MONTHS OF SUCCESS WITH AN ENTIRE NEW SHOW EVERY WEEK NOW PLAYING — THE BALANCE OF THE WEEK — AT THE ALHAMBRA A FUN FLIGHT BY AIRPLANE WITH A Mile-a-Minute Dash Through the Clouds With the Performances Are Continuous From 2 to 11 P.M. — 25-35-50c THE EVENT OF THE WEEK IS THE MIDNITE RAMBLE EVERY WEDNESDAY Noble Sissle, one of the famous producers of "Shuffle Along" and "Chocolate Dandies," is headlining in all the large music halls in London and the English provinces. He has been booked for the entire Stoll tour after he secured such a tremendous hit at the Coliseum and the Alhambra in London. The "Encore" says that he "proved an emphatic success." Sissle has received some of the very best criticisms ever accorded any American artist in England, and has been assisted at the piano by Harry Ravel, one of the best jazz pianists in England. One of the biggest steps ever taken by the large army of colored performers in Europe was the big benefit hole which was exclusively reproduced in The Amsterdam News last week. Sissle secured every colored artist that was available in London, the provinces and the countryside, and Josephine Baker few all the way from Paris after working in her club all night to appear at this benefit. Among other artists were; The Four Harmony Kings, Angela Barker, Williams and Tara Harper. Three Edith Abbey and Band. Sissle was master of ceremonies, and also did his regular routine of songs. The proceeds amounted to one thousand pounds (about $50,000) to the charitable cause to this marvelous program of talent and this wonderful donation to charity. Sissie has placed four songs in England and his first number to be released is "Nebraska," which is a real show. He also wrote "Nothing He Changed But You." His phonograph records are going very big in England and he is recording constantly for the English companies. He will produce a large show in London within a very short time, and he is now writing a new show for Sleeping Beauty "Nothing He American and English appearances. "Hoboken Blues" Almost Grotesque A White Fantasy on a Black Theme of Playwrights' Theatre "Hoboken Blues," a white fantasy on a black theme, by Michael Gold, opened at the New Playwright's Theatre, 40 Commerce street, Friday night, and gave the audience something different. In fact, it was so different that it bordered on the grotesque. The play is written on a Negro theme and acted by a white cast. The action runs the gamut of stage acting, as we put it, the swift changes from serious drama to comedy drama, to musical comedy, to melodrama, to fantasy, and shall we say to caricature? In reviewing the play one does not really know where to begin. There are about forty characters in the play, from chorus girls on up and down. With LEARN TO DANCE ANDERSON'S STUDIO 564 LENOX AVE.

An Negro character, the white actors properly qualified for first pince in the Sunday funny sheet. Their lingo was a sad attempt at Negro dialect, one of which sounded like some forbidden language. All the foregoing critiques aside, the spirit and soul of the pinay was worth coming miles to listen to. While its demeanor was rather far fetched—such as picturing a world where there is no money and labor is required to three children, a fair father, a brotherhood and absolutely fair play was indeed finely stressed. The Playwrights' Theatre did a brave thing in producing "Hoboken Blues." The story begins in 1903 and ends in a chief character, Sam Fickens, played by the young, energetic "darky type" of Negro, goes from Hoboken to Hoboken, N.J. to get a job as a banjo player. When he arrives there is disillusioned and is brutally beaten in the park, he is taken to a mental. Sam had been taken to a Irish num in the park that he had better save town because his very color would be tantamount to guilt of any crime in the vicinity. At the hospital poor, innocent, peace-loving, hospitalized, well-cared-for, dream after passing through a horrific nightmare.

The olimax is reached when old Sam, now bent and gray, is given an old banana and a dress costume for $200 a week. Sam Pickens has achieved his goal. The scenic effects are unique, the time and place changing before the audience by means of sounds and dances painted on the fullest appreciation of the author's high motives and his very delicate demand for kind treatment and fair play for the Negro, we believe that a fine Negro drama could be evolved from this fantastic presentment that such a drama if played by Negro would be very flavorably resolved.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB, 29, 1928 From Meccas to Melachrinos aes (CONtinued from Page 8) cee article by S, T, Whitney In answer to tho gifted Theophilus Lewis, Hay- ing a copy of Mr, Whitney's “Mellow Musings" in my possession, and tainking Mim one of our intellectual young men, I decided to read bis article, ‘ Great was the disappointment in store for me, Br, Whitney's article, with the exception of a few high-sounding words, such as “idiouynerasies,”” “bourgeols” and “iutellegentsia,” could huve been fruit borne by any {iterate mind, He cites (doleted) as an example of an astute showman, Blab! Whet utter rot. Does the race aspire to nothing better than the (deleted) and (also deeted)? —” How Mr, Whitney can deny that smut and suggestiveness are the basis of almont every show put ou at (deleted), ts absolutely’ beyond my comprehension, Well, if that's tho thing the ‘patrons of the (deleted) want, let them havo It. ‘The majority of thom aro merely hambone actors out of a Job, A bunch of ompty headed nit-wits, Tut must one dedicate the profession to such gnorant rabble? Johnny Hudgins, Miller and Lyles and a few others are trying to blaze the trall for Negro actors on tho white stage, and that, after ail tn rald and done, is the main thing. An sctor hnsn't reached the pinnacle of guccess until he fs known among both white and colored. Aother thing: Mr. Whitney speaks of the fallure of the “better class” to support Nogro productions, This race 1a noted for ita decided Inck of ability to stick together. ‘Then why 10 God's namo should tho ablo Mr. Whitney con- domn the Negro actor who ntaltes his way tn the white theatrical world? My advice to Mr. Whitney te for him to stick to “Mellow Musings” and the public will continue to think of him as an tntellectual man of the race, As for me, Iam a sadly deluded young Indy. ‘Yours truly, A, W. SYKES. Guess that will hold our friend and associate for a while, Tho lady ld not, appnrontly, read Mr. Lewis’ answer to Mr. Whitney when she wrote that letter. It she had—oh, well, let us just Imagine how charmed ahe would have been with that clear thloking brain and farseelng eye, which has been focussed on the Nogro theatricul world as it obtains in the theatres catering to Negroes. We were forced to deleto some things from the lady’s letter as we did not want certain of our theatrical friends throwing all Kinds of fits, ‘The friend and associato who acted as the inspiration for the above paragraph {8 but another minnow leaving his natural habltat in tho hinterland and Its inland ponds and rivers to swim in the ocean where, as we stated before, only whales of this theatrical discussion shoutd poke thelr litte nostrils, We are personally reserving a few things which would burn up and wither our friend if he insists upon tickling the ribs of whales, Jew and Negro Balters In Austria, es to float out of Austria regave king against Negroes appearing in t friends In Europe, wo are const Rs where our people are concerne¢ ving theso pages in The Amsterdam ings us the news that sunk bom! ‘odlects were throws ia the Siate |" Viennese are taking against Negroes appearing {n their city, Thanks }to somo of our alert friends In Europe, wo are constantly kent {nformed ‘of the trend of things where our people are concerned ns will be readily [recognized hy foilnwing theso pages in The Amsterdam News. ‘The latest ‘bit of Informatier brings us the newa that sunk bombs, sneezing powder Jand other unsa. « wbjecta were thrown in the Siate Opera, Vienna, re- cently, thus briveing to a elimax the half-mustenl, half-political fight against Ernat Krenck's jazzopera “Johany Plays Up," which has been tho cause of heated arguments and street demonstrations since its first performance on New Year's kve. . ‘Tne first to protest ngainst the opera were the musical’ consorva- {ves who did not seem to appreciate the presence of a Negro jazz band in the opera, Then somo extreme Natlonalists took the matter up, not because they objected to the niodernist music, but because thoy have an aversion to Jewa and Negroes. It Is not quite cloar how they connected these races with “Johnny,” because the composer ts not a Jew, and Negroes in Vienna are as rare as the dodo. But the Natlonalist loaders convinced themselves that Vienna was “going to the dogs,” and so they murshailed thelr followers in front of tha opera every tlma “Johnny” appeared on the bills. Not content with cries and cat-alls tn the streets, the Nationallstr invaded the pit and Fallertes ani attzcked the mucous membranes of the audience and players, | Handkerehtets, however. proved quite etfettive gas muska, and tho police did the rest. Eight people were arrested and “Johnny” was played, Jnzzed and sung lo the end.

These, too, were dispersed by the police and @renty among them wore arrerted. : Krenok’s opera ts tha greatest operatic succers recorded in Austria Ina year. Tt continues to draw full houses, though this {s partly owing to the publicity afforded by hostife attacks. In the meantime the direct Information on Josephine Baker’a attempted appearance {n Vienna {s brought to us through ths correspondent of tho Daily Express in London, who tel!s us that. Miss Baker will become a modern Pied Piper of Hainolin if the Hakenkreuzier Fascists persist suc: cessfully In thelr opposition to her uppeurance on a Vienna stago. Her Impresario has secured un option on a theatre at Bratislava (formerly Preusburg), a large town just across tho Czecho-Stovakian border, und there will be a teniporary niasa emigration from Vienna to {ts more liberal atmosphere if the Austrlan authorities yfeld to the outcry of the Natfoualist fanatles and prohibit her performance, Brauslaya Is within easy reach from Vienua by tramear, train and steamer, Neoifations aro already in full swing with the Czecho-Slovakian Legation in Vienna for special visa facilities, while a special “Josephine Baker Steamer Service” {s also being arranged, Newspapers in Vienna are generally Indignant with the Haken- krenzler for making this usually liberal and artistic capital ridiculous in the eyes of the world by conferring on Josephine Baker the title of "the girl who shocked Vienna." The Theatre Directors’ Association hus novortheless decided to doy- cott Josephine in deference to Hakenkreuzler agitation. Three leading theatres, however, which sland outside the association, the Volksoper, the duerger Theatre, and the Johann Stratiss Theatre, are negotiating tor her appearance. It is probable that the famous Johann Strauss operetta thentre will be the one to defy the Hakenkreuzler and offer its hospitality to Josephine Baker. : Speaking of the Fisk Singers’ Tuning Fork. | MANY are the music lovers of high degree who have evinced great tn- terest in a certain hit of steel, the little tuntng fork which guides the Fisk Jubilee quintet through thelr Intorpretation In the volce of Mrs. Myers, Elizabeth Dryden says In a European paper. Ravel, the French composer, upon hearing tho group for the first Ume, exclaimed: “It is one voice! I have nevor listened to such an en- semble!" The concert over, he lost no time in making his way to the reception room to congratulate James Myers whom he had understood to be the leader.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. To the Critics of the Modern Physician THE science and art of medicine has lived and developed and has been praised and criticized since the appearance of man on the face of the earth. Living beings fear death—even critics and Christians do. This is the reason why physicians have always existed and always will. In order to prolong life, the body is to be kept healthy. Illnesses are to be avoided, and if disease does affect an individual, the sickness is to be cured. Thus has risen the science and art of medicine. In the ancient folk lore of all races we find the history and origin of medical therapeutics. Religion and medicine in the days of old were intimately interwoven. The medicine of the ancient Chinese, Hindus, Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians and other Asiatic and African races is chiefly discussed in their religious writings and ceremonies. Even the Mormons We have heard a lot of excuses made by the white "brethren" for net treating the colored "brethren" as equals in their churches, but the excuse which the Mormons use, and which was just communicated to me in Salt Lake City, "takes the cake." "Are there any colored members in the Mormon Church?" we asked. "Very few," was the reply. To find out why we inquired further and learned that no Negro, even though he be a member, is ever considered enough of a "saint" to be allowed to go into "The Temple," the great semi-Gothic structure which is the head institution and the architectural boast of the "Church." Times have changed and so has the science and art of medicine. From the time of Hippocrates, the great physician of Cos, to the present time, many changes in the theory and practice of medicine have been made. Magic and superstition have been superseded by scientific facts learned through experimentation and investigation. Thunckery has been, gradually, transformed into witchcraft and astrology have surely given way to more humans and more rational explanations as to theory and causation of disease. The founding of numerous hospitals and medical and scientific bodies throughout England, the continent and America has made impression upon the healing art. Modern physicians now have the accumulated knowledge of the scientific facts relative to the departments of medicine. Such subjects as anatomy and physiology, embryology and comparative anatomy, chemistry—both general and physiological—pathology and bacteriology, materia medica and therapeutics, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, hygiene and preventive medicine, the diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, all these are the knowledge of the modern physician. And yet they are critics who know better that "nine-tenths of the physicians do not know any more about the human body and how to cure its ills than chiropractors, Christian Scientists, faith healers, root doctors and quacks." Such statements in supposed in- Even the By WILLIAM We have heard a lot of "brethren" for net treating in their churches, but the ex and which was just communi "takes the cake." "Are there any colored men we asked. "Very few," was the reply. To find out why we inquire Negro, even though he be enough of a "saint" to be allo the great semi-Gothic struc- tion and the architectural boa And why are Negroes thus barred from full sainthood and entry into the holiest? Well, this is the cake-taking explanation: There was once a war in heaven, when one Archangel, whom Milton calls Satan, got so ambitious as to raise a rebellion to try to overthrow God and rule in his stead. In other words, Satan set out to raise hell in heaven. According to the Mormons, God must have been pretty hard-pressed, for he sought volunteers and from every quarter of the known world, people he promptly sided with God; but the overcultions colored brother, while not sliding with Satan, proclaimed, as Bert Williams used to put it: "I am neutral!" Well, Satan lost thenceforth to he known as "The Devil." God won—by the good help of the enemy, therefore, the Negro cannot become "the saint"; he is still somewhat "neutral." He cannot enter the Temple and he cannot go to heaven. Yes, only one Negro has been saved from heaven in history by creation, was the "Body Sorran," of Hicks Confidences Questions and Answer By EGYPSY ANN Does It Pay to Be Attentive? DOES a girl still appreciate a box of candy, a flower or some little trifle? Take it from me, boys, she doesn't miss! She loves to believe that you are interested in her welfare and appearance, and she is just as susceptible to flattery as you are: If you like the dress she has on, tell her so. Tell her how pretty her eyes are or how becoming her hair is arranged. If she tells you "Not to hang that was made out," she's inwardly pleased and much kindly disposed towards toligent persons surely are without justification. But the practice of medicine is used to the darts and shafts of critics, even from the days of the caustic Mollers, who openly and continuously criticized physicians. The cause of most diseases is now known to medical science. investigation is still going on as to the cause of others. Modern physicians are quite able, today to alleviate the suffering, and in most cases to bring about a cure in those illnesses in which the cause of the illness is such treatment has been perfected. Bacteriology, discoveries in microscopic life, the modern conception of physiology and pathology, the studies in clinical medicine, the study of the physiological action drugs, have placed the灾害 of the sick upon a logical basis. Huge steps have been made in the study of the action of drugs on the human economy, and no physician today writes a prescription without this knowledge and the ultimate result for good upon his patient. The art of the modern physician is...not quackery, even though some, "boob" who writes his "Views and Reviews" needn’t so, adiabolic. He reasoned, will always have its followers, because there is something vital, something good in it, and no amount of criticism will prevent "suffering humanity" from taking the advice and treatment of those who practice the "healing art."

You see, this Negro was a "good servant," and Brigham Young, like all "good white folks," was somewhat partial to this "Negro," and influenced God to let him in. This, of course, demonstrates the great influence which Brigham Young has on all. From all reports, this Mormon religion is a "very" convenient" affair: If you are a member in good standing, paid up, you can do just about as you don't please without losing your salinity. One of the original principles of Mormonism was that a man could have as many wives as he could support or rather as many husbands. That must have been an inducement to persuade men to come out and people this desert. Only some extraordinary indulgence could ever have persuaded them to cross the Rockies and settle in these salt-sand wastes. And yet Joseph Smith, the original "prophet" of Mormonism, said: This is the only true religion. not get into the most provoking habit of admiring each girl you pass on the street and commenting on her figure, dress and the longing looks she casts in your direction. When you are with a girl, bestow your attention on her and can make her feel that she is his main interest, is one who is generally the most popular with her.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 29, 1928 -:- "Scratching the Surface" Writer Recalls Experiences With the Negro Press SOME months ago I wrote a special article in answer to a large number of letters I had received from readers who wanted to know something about the desirability of coming to Europe to settle, particularly France. In that article I gave as precise an answer as I could. Still many readers continue to write, asking pretty much the same things. It seems, however, that several of them have just discovered the travel articles. In this, I am reminded of something else. In the latter part of 1926 I took a trip to certain parts of the country south of New York, meeting many Negroes of prominence, some of whom one might have met in the course of conversation with them. I spoke from time to time of certain articles that had appeared in the Negro press, notably one of the exposure of racial intermixing in Virginia. As it will be recalled, Virginia had tried to pass a law making the marriage of white and Indian women illegal, that so many of the "first families" were of Indian descent; and that this Indian descent when traced sometimes not so far back was really Indian and Negro, that the bill met with crushing defeat. Had the Virginia legislators pass a law that would have been only a matter of the time when some of the would have been riding in the Jim-Crow car. The exposure was based on cases taken from the Bureau of Vital Statistics at Richmond, and in condensed form appeared in several of the leading Negro journals in various parts of the country. This, as it happened, was as important as it was relevant. The important thing was the information which every Negro, high and low, ought to have had because here at last was official proof that the white man and the black in America are much mixed that it is impossible to tell who is who. Yet, to my astonishment, I discovered that a large number of Negro luminaries had never even heard about the Negro, and included a stranger on the nation, and set most of the whites in Virginia in two bitterly opposing camps. When I mentioned the fact that the exposure had been printed in the Negro press, several of them informed me rather scornfully that they never read Negro newspapers, and one educator told me that he was not interested in what Negroes wrote on the race question, but in what the whites wrote. The inference was that this learned gentleman already knew what was in the mind of the Negro, past and to come; that he was such an authority himself that She is a school teacher and lives at home with her father. Frankly, I am not in love with the man, but I admire and respect him and honestly believe that I would make him a good wife. His daughter doesn't particularly care for me and she doesn't want her father to marry again. Please give me your advice on the subject. What would you do? PUZZLED. Dear Puzzled: What would I do? Well, I'd just keep on "hitting the chillies" and "slinging the old iron" until I meet the man I can love. Girlle, you've got another good ten years before you need to worry about getting married or not getting married. Many a married woman envises the independence of a single one. You admit that you don't love the man. You realize that there will be family and about you have not considered the fact that you will most likely meet someone who you will love. The difference in age is great enough to lead to misunderstanding, as your ideas on subjects will naturally be different. A nice home and a car are desirable, but they are not guarantees of happiness. A lot depends upon who shares them: with you. Don't take the step to my advice or in some few years you'll be married. You're very young: when you were married and your husband's ways are too old for you. Best wishes, BEGYPSY. ANN.

ROGERS no Negro could tell him anything. However, nearly all were eager to get the articles thin! I could not then help thinking how much of the "cracker" spirit was in these and other Negroes who speak scornfully of the Negro press. In the past ten years the Negro group has made tremen- tous progress in all walks of life but as far as the minds of many white people regarding it are concerned they might as well have been dead fifty years ago, so firmly are their minds fixed in the past. Similarly in ten years the Negro - J. A. Rogers - press, from a puny, untaught weakling, has developed into a young giant, lusty in promise, intellectual and otherwise. There are today at least six Negro newspapers, printed with about 80 per cent of the white papers. Some of these Negro journals are from two to three times the size of any daily published on the European continent, whiten one or two are just a write smaller than the London Times, and one from other than the two largest European newspapers. The Amsterdam News is more than twice the size of any daily that I have seen in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium or any other of the other countries on the Continent in which I have been. Le Matty, the famous French daily, has only eight pages. And as to quality of matter and presentation, some of these Negro papers rank favorably in their sphere with white paper representing America. Journals representing the interests of any particular people are necessarily limited in their scope, but this does not mean that they are not as competent in their own limits as the ones representing national and international interests. The Negro press, of course, has its faults, and many of the things against it by some of the leaders above mentioned are true. It is bound to have faults. In order to succeed it must reflect, as Happiness Defined A GREAT soul salute. "Happiness is the acceptance of life, whatever it is." And one might add these words: "and making the best of it." From the sum of our birthrights, talents, various assets and liabilities we gather the material which we must weave into the making of our happiness. That which some other man has may not be used. Only our own, our very own material, is acceptable. The world has known happy Our Presidents' Wives President Married Wife's Name Born Died Washington 1769 Martha (Dandridge) Curtls 1732 1803 J.

To please some people, one must inevitably displease others. One thing is sure, the Negro press in the hands of some of its financial critics, it's only a matter of time when the public would have far less interest, if any, in it. Within the past few years there has been an improved psychological attitude on the part of Negro editors in general. Once, many editors would not carry news quite so sensibly. It is a great affair with them, and they introduced petty, feminine spites into their sheets. This type of editor now is, happily, rare. He sees now that while he may not be interested in a certain man, his readers may be, and he nuts the broader interest first. A few weeks ago I was invited to the house of one of America's foremost writers to discuss Negro literature prior to Dunbar. The two volumes are of great oral volumes on American literature, and is including the Negro In the course of discussion, the subject of the Negro press came up. I told him of the travel articles, and of some of the things I had said in them, not only about the race question, but of politics and life in general, and to my surprise he expressed surprise that the newspaper, not because they ought not to be in a newspaper, but because of what may be considered their advanced nature. It then struck me that the Negro press was much broader than I had thought it all along, and broader than the majority of us think it is, and I took occasion to say that so far as I could see the Negro press, at this stage, was serving the majority of us concerned concern was agitating for equal rights and privileges for American citizens; and the nearest things approaching the sacred with us were the clergy and the cosmetic interests, but that even these did not at times escape scathing criticism. I further pointed out that adverse articles appearing in white publications—articles that sometimes hurt the Negro press—were carried in the Negro press; while articles of a similar nature in the Negro press rarely, if ever, are copied by a white publication. On the matter of the race question as it concerns white, as well as black, the Negro press is much broader than the white press; that is, the former is more inclined to give the white man his due. Speaking as a matter of simple truth, I am acquainted with the major portion of literature on the Negro as it has been written by both black and white, and rack my mind as I will I can recall but having seen one really outspoken article on the Negro appearing in a newspaper an article that really won't below the surface, and that is Mr. Schuyler's recent article in The American Mercury. Of course, I mean an article written by a Negro. And this is not so much a tribute to Mr. Schuyler's genius and keen wit as it is to The Mercury. Gallons of ink We decide the issue no matter where our lots are cast. N. A. A. C. P. TO LAUNCH MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Throughout the entire country, on March 15, branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will simultaneously launch a drive for membership, results to be announced at the Los Angeles Conference of the Association June 27 to July 3, it was announced today. Says Journalism Was Once "Personal Affair" have been split on this race question and the sole reason for saying anything more is to say those things that are not supposed to be said. At the risk of being accused of talking too much about myself, I might give my own experiences in this matter. I began by writing articles to the white press, telling of things as I really saw them and knew them. Up to the present I have read three articles, all of which were carefully censored. I have never tried The Mercury. Up to the present I have been censored only once by a Negro newspaper, and that was when I wrote about the exposed nature of the urinoids in Italy when we were carried the article as I wrote. Through the kindness of Mr. Eugene Gordon and a white friend, I had what seemed a certain opportunity to place my travel articles with a white syndicate, but I finally decided for the Negro newspapers—at least, those that would have them. I did so at considerable financial loss and handicap, but at great spiritual gain and power. I had to paper papers there are a thousand and one things I would not have been able to say, for fear of offending the advertisers. One has to study the market for this, and most of the time it is like walking on an egg-strewn path and trying not to break any eggs. But one likes to swing along freely, without feeling himself bitted and brilled. That is as far as the United States is. Poor that will ever amount. All writing that will ever amount to anything must be written not for the market but must be the result of self-expression based on originality and the realities of life. Often the rejected facts of today become the recognized truths of tomorrow. As long as the Negro press remains as liberal as it is, it will at least set an example to our writers, and by and by speaking out freely will become a habit. The realities will follow Mr. Schuyler's example, and truth will be released at last. The Negro press, with all its imperfections, is the spokesman of the group. It fills a unique and indispensable role. It is the champion of citizenship rights in the fullest sense of the word. It introduces Negroes to themselves, to their shortcomings as well as to their accomplishments. How else could they have had this self-knowledge, which we are told is the beginning of all wisdom? As for myself, far from scoring the Negro newspaper I read everyone, however humble, that I can get hold of, of thereby stumbling sometimes on rare bits of knowledge as a monad in some out of the way place. And now, after this long lecture and scolding, I can but hope that those who wrote to ask me questions that I had already answered will be good. If they are, I might answer them another time. Your Horoscope By THEARCHER FEBRUARY 29 promises an excellent birthday to those who deal with chemicals, drugs, oils and liquids. Mental professions, as well as writings and speeches, are favored. The musicians who play stringed instruments will gain success. Care should be used in spending money, for it seems that pleasures and speculations will cause much financial distress. Legal matters are adverse. March 1 promises some promotion in the employment, although the birthday will bring a slightly discontented spirit to many of these people of today. There seems to be a possibility of a sudden operation that will turn out well. The birthday for March 2 will bring success to those who can their ideas and diligence in action, with the help of others, be marked by extremes, except, possibly, through injury from cuts and sharp instruments. The health should be guarded. March 3 promises success in a financial way. Love affairs will cause much unhappiness, which will injure the health or reputation. March 4 favors those who deal in real estate and property. The year will be marked by many changes, both in the home and employment. Elderly people favor the people of today. Love affairs will not be very pleasant. Some peculiar incidents seem indicated for the birthyear of March 6. For the birthyear of March 6, distinguished musical instruments seem most favored. The proper food will do much to relieve the intestinal trouble that is shown. March 6 begins a birtyear that will be full of changes in the employment. There is an indication of the loss of a close member of the family. This will not affect everyone. All the people of May will be made a less marked adversity throughout the year.

As a child she played and romped just as little girls do today, but as she approached marriageable age she was either stolen by some wandering tribe or bartered by her own people. Women are considered the "weaker sex," not only because biology records her so, but because ages of social unfairness have accentuated her weakness through the centuries. Ages ago the boys were taught to fight and kill to protect themselves—they were sent out to hunt, fish and learn to make spears and arrows; girls were confined to one little spot, where they were assured protection. IN PRIMITIVE life the position of the young girl must have been precarious. As a child she played and romped just as little girls do today, but as she approached marriageable age she was either stolen by some wandering tribe or bartered by her own people. Women are considered the "weaker sex," not only because biology records her so, but because ages of social unfairness have accentuated her weakness through the centuries. Ages ago the boys were taught to fight and kill to protect themselves—they were sent out to hunt, fish and learn to make spears and arrows; girls were confined to one little spot, where they were assured protection. Among some early peoples the woman was worshiped and feared; among others she was subjugated and made to feel her inferiority. Among some tribes or clans conditions were so difficult for the primitive girl, and so many hardships were forced upon her, that frequently she wandered from her people purposely, permitting herself to be captured by savages and carried away. In some instances we find that she was forced to live in a cage for many years until her people were ready to sell her exchange her in marriage. Under all conditions "more" these, the primitive "debutante" must have found life wretched in the extreme. Although they were devoid of love and gentleness, primitive people seem to have had a very pronounced moral sense. The things which they considered dangerous advanced civilization contained curious ways to protect their women, just as we pretend to protect ours today. They kept young women apart from the rest of the tribe. Separation of the sexes was one of man's earliest institutions. Even among certain animals, the young are carried about by their parental protection—the males by the father and the females by the mother. Among savage races still existing we find that the Kaffir woman is extremely chaste and modest; the Lob-nor girls are severely punished for immoral actions; girls in New Guinea are forced to maintain chastity or submit themselves to the Equatorial Africans, the girl who disgraces her family by wantonness is banished from her clan; among various Northern Indians, girls were from early age prohibited by custom from joining in the most innocent amusements with boys; the Corsican girl is taught to disgrace herself or spoken to by man on side her family circle; and even the terbes of the East Coast in Arr By R.

THE story of Esau, Jacob's elder son, is the story of the consumate folly of a man who, because he was hungry, sold his priceless heritage for a mess of pottage. Despite the lesson of Esau's failure to suffer the loss, intense sufferings and other consequences, every age has had epileptic Esau who have bartered and sold the best they had for a few days of, or perhaps a few hours of, destructive pleasure.

In Australia, in primitive life, brothers and sisters were not permitted to talk to each other in China and Japan. young girls are carelessly separated from the other sex even to this day. The "coming-out" party of modern life seems to be a vestige or relic of the time when girls "came out" of the huts when they had been imprisoned and were offered in marriage to the highest bidders, the best hunter or to the man betrothed in infancy. The early "deb" half glad and half sad, thrilled with her new freedom, proud of her momentary importance, came trembling out of her prison to put away the old life of childhood and sexlessness and take upon herself the desecrated sexes of a woman. The man desecrated sexes of a woman, panked and decorated for the shouting, feasting and dancing making a ceremony of the business of selecting a bride. Many of these poor girls were forced to accept men as husbands whom they had never seen. Of course, the debautante of today is far removed from the debautante of yesterday. But, human nature is essentially the same as it was ages ago; life goes on in the old groove despite the automobile, collisions, and the cigarette case of the girl who breaks down traditions, and the new generations that are constantly treading upon the toes of the old. The early tribes excluded their girls after the age of five to eight. They were forbidden to enter men's urinals on their own. From the very first day of their seclusion they were instructed in the duties of marry. Life and motherhood. Today's the girls of the most modest families are permitted to mingle with boys at school, at church, on the playground, and in public; many are married, but many—very many—are left to their own freedom. be popular with "the younger generation," make a record for daring. She looks at vulgar pictures, engages in petting and cuddling, takes chances with a strange man under dangerous circumstances, and she is tempted and falls. The evil whispering, "take one chance; a little fun won't hurt you; have a little pleasure, as others are doing." When the young woman realizes her loss and regrets and repents, too late she finds that she sold her birthright, her womanhood for a mess of carnal pottage. A wife is tempted. Her husband is unkind and lacks affection toward her. The temperter whispers, "He does not appreciate you; come with me and let us have our pleasure together, and the world will not be wiser." She yields; she surrenders her monarch; she overes the man and disgraced the soldier birthright for a mess of unsatisfying pottage. A young man is tainted by his evil companions because he desires to live a clean life. They tell him, "You never will be a man." He is lured by an evil woman who, by kisses and caresses, arouses in him violent sex passion. He disregards warnings and walks into the snare; but when he comes out with the potion, he venerates veneral disease in his blood but that he has played Esau! He has sold all for a mess of rotten nottage. A husband yields to the wrong. The devil makes him dissatisfied with his own wife. He goes into the home of his neighbor and consorts with his neighbor's wife. He is overtaken and, if he escapes, he must share his shame. Not only did Esau injure himself and forfeit his own heritage, but he cursed his posterity who had to share his misfortune. So, those who follow the example of Esau curse their posterity by the transmission of diseases and immoral tendencies by which they are handicapped all their lives. Paul instructs that Esau repented and sought his blessing with strivings and tears; but if he too late. So with modern Esau: the heritage of virtue, honor, health, character once bartered is lost. forever! Modern Esau BEWARE! In the same Class.

But that body failed to obtain the sanction of the grand exerted ruler and since then there was no such association in this state through thriving state associations county we found in practically all other states. After the temporary organization, with Dr. Thompson as chairman had been perfected, the permanent one was organized with Samuel B. Mitchell of Monarch Thompson the president. Thompson was made unanimously the first vice-president; Charles T. Magill of Brooklyn Lodge, second vice-president; H. Lewis, Rockland Lodge, of Sparkhill, third vice-president; James B. Allen, imperial Twitty, Westchester Lodge, Tarrytown, recording secretary; S. D. Walton, Empire Lodge, New Rochelle, treasurer; Walter A. Peterson, Brooklyn Lodge, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Andrew T. Mitchell of Isaac Coy, Westchester Lodge, William Imperial, and Dr. A. S. Reid, Enterprise Lodge of Corona, trustees. In honor of the work done by Dr. Thompson of Blossom Heath Lodge, in whose headquarters the association was formed, the men unanimously billed him the first great president of the newly formed organization, David W. McDaniels, district deputy for the second district, who issued the authorization for the organizing, and who presided over the election, was made the second past president.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Feb, 27.—The Negro is fast deserting the farm for town and industrial center. Geor- gia, for instance, has lost one-third of her Negro farmers in the census period 1920-23, and is still losing them, One out of every six, Negro tillers of the soil in South Carolina has de- parted for parts unknown, One out of every eight in Arkan- sas has gone, andtin Alabama one out of ten left the ‘plow to rust. Tt is well, perhaps. that many of these men and_ their famities have abandoned leaky shacks, small terraced farms, and the eternal debt of the tenant system. To many de- parture means education for their children, opportunity, es- cape from terrorism, security, freedom. ‘The uphill fight to win a living from cotton in the older cotton States is slowly but surely being given up in favor of the ievel lands of Texas and the newer soil and machinere of Oklahoma.

For it fs not only the tenants and croppers who liate left the land. Farm owners are deserting their homes in increasing numbers, In Georgia, of the 46.000 farmers leav- ing the farms during 1920-25, 4,- 000 were owners, Alabama hos Ist 2.500 farm owners, and in South Carolina 9,300 decided the game was not worth the candle. In the cotton states 23,009 home owners have gone, ‘The circumstances forcing those departures of farm owners seem to be many. But tho immediate rea- son," deep-rooted as it is in tradi- tional technique and marketing, is the low’ purchasing power of an acre of cotton. In 1920 {t took one and a halt acres of cotton in Ala- bama to purchase what one acre would have: In North Carolina, where cotton farming {s carried on ta conjunction with a bread and meat and feed program. ‘The same condition prevailed in 1926 and to’ a lesser extent in the other years. Georgia cotton grow: ors neaded three acres of cotton in 1920 and three and a half In 1926 to purchase what North Carolina farmers could buy with one acre. Similnr inequalities prevailed for Arkansas and South Carolina. Country air ts goot, but every man who owns a farm haa bills to pay. The prosperity of there States thus measured {nce 1920 was equal to or above that for thé United States as a whole only in 1924 and 1925, But before those Negro tarmern who now have a grip on the land release their hold {t may be well for them to pause and to consider their position apart from thelr immediate and temporary eco- nome position and the contagion caught from the going of many of thelr friends, ‘To this end Benjamin F, Hubert, president of the Georgia Mechan!- cal and Industrial College, has in- IEE Usd V0 scrseemouen ys seattle Wie Uiversary at the aimsonie Vomple, 6 allege place, : On last Tuosday evening the crnflamat's Club of James Ht, Far roll Lodge, No. 34, A.

HEART DISEASE AMONG SCHOOL CHILDREN Of 12,000 school children in Boston, 2,311 whose yearly physical examination by school physicians suggested possibility of heart disease Of these 625, or one-half of 1 percent, of the total number of school White Southerner Tells Why Negro Goes North With a plea to the white South to "Let's stop being stupid!" Howard Snyder, a white resident of Mississippi, writing in the March number of Plain Talk, 225 Varlick street, New York, tells why the Negro is leaving the South and distributing himself over the nation. First, Mr. Snyder cites the one-crop system of cotton raising, with its exhaustion of the soil, the poverty and indebtedness of tenants, who are not recognized as part of the community and are constantly tempted to move in the effort to better themselves. Mr. Snyder continues: "Add to all this the lynchings, mistreatment of many Negroes, and considering the fact the field Negro of the South is a primitive community, most probably a dreaded Ku Klux Klan we have another reason for the vast migration of Negroes from the sunny South. Almost any day we read of some benighted Negro peasant being hunted down or shot by a posse. That the South could expect these same benighted people to remain with and uncompromisingly end this when a twenty-bill will carry a man away from it passes my understanding." had lived in bondage and debt slavery would come back like the prodigal son of old. "The facts are that they aren't doing it and they won't." The South, in Mr. Snyder's belief, will have to meet Northern attraction to the Negro by giving him schools, good wages, justice "and all those many and complex things that go to make up life in civilized America." Mr. Snyder points out that even in the South it is now becoming understood that the race problem is not merely local. He writes: "With the Negro press everywhere increasing its circulation, and such far-reaching organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People working through its local organizations in every community to uphold the rights of the Negro and demand that justice be given him and urge that Negro children everywhere attend elementary schools, the race problem is by no means confined to the South. The problem with is "both amazed and desperately worried" over the departure of its best labor supply and that many white men are being forced into the ranks of common labor. As for the South's trying to persuade itself that the Negroes who children were found to have organic disease of the heart; 77 were potential heart-disease cases; 265 were classified as doubtful and need reexamination from time to time. These figures are not complete for all children of school age in Boston, since the survey included only those children well enough to attend school, and the method of examination may have missed many potential cases.

HOW MANY CHILDREN GO TO THE "MOVIES" Children formed over a fourth of the total paid admissions to a few motion-picture theatres in one city during 1926, which meant a weekly average attendance of 4,600 and a yearly total of 241,782. A recent estimate placed the proportion of children in the motion-picture audiences of New York at 8 per cent. This is considered a low percentage for the country. Using it as a basis of the total weekly attendance of 80,000,000 reported by a spokesman of the industry, 7,200,000 are children.

Wednesday, February 29, 1928 Henry F. Downing Henry F. Downing HARLEM has its share of colorful personalities, but none was more picturesque than Henry Francis Downing, who died at Harlem Hospital last week. His life was like a romance and might well have been embodied in a novel. Such a novel, of course, would not be acceptable to the white public and publishers, for it would be too favorable to the Negro, but it would be a good novel nevertheless. EIGHTY-TWO YEARS OLD, Henry Downing had seen a good deal of Negro history and played his part in it. He knew Abraham Lincoln personally and was a godson of Frederick Douglass. His grandfather, Thomas Downing, gave New York City a cellarful of vinegar to put out the great fire of 1835, and lent $20,000 to James Gordon Bennett to save the New York Herald from failure. HENRY DOWNING served in the Navy during the Civil War, was misakenly branded as a deserter and did not have his name cleared till 1921. He was appointed U. S. Consul to Portuguese West Africa in 1885 and became a large stockholder in the Liberian Development Company. Turned down by American bankers whom he tried to interest in the development of Liberia, he went to London and raised the required capital. He married an Englishwoman of prominent family. He introduced Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Paul Laurence Dunbar to the British public. His life was filled with exciting incidents. HARLEM will long remember him as a dignified figure, with a shock of white hair, pacing the streets with an overcoat on in July, with a manuscript in one arm and a cane on the other. Young wiseacres who laugh at the older generation might well pause, wondering if at their death they will have as many achievements to their credit as Henry Francis Downing. Safer Than the Sea IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID that the Negro, in order to be effective politically, should divide his vote, nationally as well as sectionally. It was argued that the Republican party would give the Negro more consideration if it were not so certain of his support; that even if the Negro were not strong enough to turn a national election he held the balance of power in many Congressional districts. THESE ARGUMENTS, if addressed to any other group, would be sound enough. The trouble is that they do not fit the case of the Negro-Granting that the Negro has cause to be dissatisfied with the Republican party, where can he go if he leaves it? To the Democratic party? And what is there in the policy, program and conduct of the national Democratic party to attract the Negro? EDITORIAL PAGE Disfranchisement, Jim-Crow rule, segregation and humiliation in the Government departments, political lynching. As for the local Democratic organization, which has been called the Negro's friend, its present policy is directly against the interests of the Negro; it is courting the South and subscribing to Southern policies. GOVERNOR SMITH in his Jackson Day letter advocated the "greatest degree of local self-government" for the states, a phrase which sanctioned the nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment. Mayor Walker is touring the South with the avowed purpose of cementing an alliance between Tammany and the Southern Democrats. At the behest of the South Tammany Hall will not appoint a Negro delegate to the convention at Houston, even if it finds one willing to go. They are staking everything on the chance of putting a Tammany man in the White House for the first time. THUS the thing that keeps the Negro in the Republican party is not gratitude, ignorance, servility or fear of change; it is the Democrats themselves. The Republican ship may be leaky, but it is safer than the sea. Society Murder SOCIETY murder is becoming more and more frequent. Twenty years ago it was something rare; now it is almost usual. By society murder, we mean killings that occur among people of the better classes, the wealthy and cultured or the steady industrious working people. In the underworld, of course, murder is expected, it is all in the day's work. This is so true that the Metropolitan Insurance Company several years ago refused a life insurance policy to Harlem's leading cabaret proprietor on the ground that he was a sporting character and therefore liable to sudden death. He was indignant; but six months later he met the sudden death. THE SOCIETY MURDER is not only frequent; it is fiendish and sometimes elaborate. The underworld murderer is satisfied with shooting or stabbing his victim; the society murderer wants something hideous in the most prominent society murders of the past six years there were features of which savages would be ashamed. Hacking a dead victim to pieces, garroting with a picture wire, bludgeoning with a sashweight during an old man into the woods to shoot him, strangling a child and then cutting up the body, soaking a woman's clothes with oil and burning her to death — all these pretty things have been done by people who in their school days probably wrote essays on the cruelty of the American Indians.

The Fifteenth Amendment (From the New York Times) If the movement in the first Illinois District, but a Negro Congressman to Washington in his Representative Maddon is successful, he will volvope, he a man with a mission more serene than a more emphasis of the presence in Congress a member of his race. It is the observance, the American Negroes see it, of the Fifteenendant which is to be his cause. The man, one of the candidates but stated it forcefully lowers: The issue of paramount importance is a If the movement in the first Illinois District to sent a Negro Congressman to Washington in place of Representative Madden is successful, he will, it develops, be a man with a mission more serious than a more emphasis of the prosecution in Congress of a member of his race. It is the observance, as the American Negro sees it, of the Fifteenth Amendment which is to be his cause. The manager of one of the candidates but stated it forcefully as follows: The issue of paramount importance is not whether the Eighteenth Amendment should be enforced, but whether or not the necessary legislation shall be enacted to make the Fifteenth Amendment effective in spirit and latter. It is my firm conviction that lynching, mournage, Jim-crow care and disfragrance would shortly disappear if every citizen was protected in the exercise of his franchise. This right would not be denied if deprivation of representation in Congress would be the unfeeling necessity of such doubt. This manifesto has arraigned Mr. Mudden's Negro constituents to such an extent that many candidates of that race are in the field—so many, think the Chicago political reporters, that they will split their own vote, and make it possible for Mr. Mudden to go back. If they were to apply to their enterprise the some politically with which they support the white houses of Chicago, the next Congress might find in its ranks a citizen whose political aptitude will be even more distantible to the South than his color National Baptists vs. Nannie Burroughs THE name of Nannie H Burroughs is as well known as that of any other woman of her generation. Her work speaks for itself. For initiative, energy and enterprise, she stands easily first among Baptist Women. Indeed, one must search long and far to find her equal in bringing things to pass, even among the mighty men of that great denomination. The school for the religious and practical training of girls at the national capital is unique among our educational institutions. Its origin, development and support are as much due to the genius of Nannie Burroughs as Tuskegee Institute and what it stands for rest upon the genius of Booker T. Washington. Indeed, she has often been called the Booker T. Washington of the female sex. Purely from an impartial and outside point of view, I am disposed to say that the National Religious Training School for Girls means more to the great Baptist denomination than any other single institution devoted mainly to the advancement of that denomination. I dare say that three-fifths of the membership of the Baptist Church are women and girls. The men, under Baptist polity, are the rulers and elders of the church, yet the female constituency form the body of its main strength. Men can lead women only in the broader and more comprehensive features of denominational life and polity. But in all ways in which the women function as a separate group, they demand womanhood leadership. This is the day of liberalization of women. No longer will they stand for the dictatorship of man on the mere basis of masculinity. More and more the powers of government will rest upon the consent and participation of the governed. Miss Burroughs is furnishing leadership for the great female constitutency of this vast spiritual estate. In doing this, she is furnishing female leaders for the whole race. The Baptist Church reaches and influences at least half of the entire mass of the race. Not only this, but this action operates beyond the bounds and borders of the Baptist Church and administers to the social and spiritual needs of the people at large. The religious training school is not merely another school amidst the superb abundance of institutions for the education of girls. It stands out in bold uniqueness as the only school of its kind founded, manned and managed by Negro women, with the stress of emphasis on moral and spiritual quickening. Miss Burroughs transfuses her great soul throughout it all. It is a source of wonderment how she can, amidst the world-mindedness of this world-minded city of Washington, maintain her spiritual moorings and impress others with her highly surcharged spirit. But she succeeds in doing this to a remarkable degree. Sending out as she does scores of young women adequately equipped in scholastic preparation and imbued with the moral and spiritual principles, she is bound to leave the entire lump of the limitist denomination. Those of us who have been in the educational field for well-night a generation can but look on with deep and poignant regret at the passing of the moral and spiritual foundation upon which we hoped to build in the earlier days. The age in which we are living is discounting the old beliefs and traditions, and is furnishing no new substitute to take their place. The old life of the race is being swept away in the whirlpool of greed, gain and vainglory. We are discarding the old before the new is made easily available for the proper guidance of youth. Namble Burroughs adheres to the old foundation, I believe, more effectively than any educator now functioning among us. She exerts a more widespread and accepted influence upon her student body than any other with whom I am acquainted. She has taken the place of the old New England missionary who came with the Bible as containing the glad tildings for the salvation of the race. While doing this, she by no means neglects the practical, everyday needs and requirements to meet the demands of modern living. With the Bible, bath and broom as her motto, the whole fabric of life is bound to be kept clean. I gather from the press that some issue has arisen between Miss Burroughs and the great Baptist denomination as to the judgment of the immediate or ultimate control. This is a matter of inside denominational polity with which the outsider has nothing to do. This matter will doubtless be adjusted according to the good sense and good judgment of all concerned. But as the matter has been brought to public attention by the parties in immediate interest, the public has the right to express a disinterested judgment. Whatever happens it would be little less than a calamity to impale or hamper the efficiency of the work so efficiently inaugurated and conducted by its author and founder. I looked at from the outside, this school has been conducted as an institution of the land[1] for Negro Art at International House By FRED GARDNER (Vice-President Society of Independent Artists) Considered in the light of the Negro's achievements in the fields of literature, music and the dance, the recent exhibition of Negro art at International House could not be taken as representing the race's best efforts in painting and sculpture. ```markdown ``` the faintest and by Nannie Burroughs. As she herself is of that household of faith, it would seem that the denomination is entitled to full credit for all she does. The crux of the issue, as an outlier does it, is whether the denomination, through its educational machinery should or should not take over the immediate management and control. Miss Burroughs seems to think that this would too narrowly circumscribe her initiative and unbound energies, which must have unimpered working space. It is always hard to circum-scribe genius. The common judg- A. E. -Kelly Miller- ment of mankind has reached the conclusion that it is better to let the superior person have much of his own way, especially when that way points to the goal at which we all are striving. To hamper General Armstrong would have been to frustrate Hampton; to have throttled Booker T. Washington would have spelled the failure of Tuskegee. The great danger seems to be that too great retrain upon Nannie Burroughs would so hinder and hamper the National Training School that it would no longer function efficiently. To those of us who, for a long time, have followed the progress of racial progress, this issue seems doubly unfortunate. We cannot help recalling the fatal Negro Art at Ho By FRED (Vice-President Socle Considered in the light of the fields of literature, music hibition of Negro art at Int taken as representing the race sculpture. What this exhibition seemed to lack was the emotional element resulting from the freestyle inborn impulse to create that characterizes the Negro's other forms of expression. This does not mean that the artist possesses technical skill or even knows of its existence, but works from an inner vision and in the manner that-the emotions direct rather from standardized formulae. It was under such circumstances that the greatest of all art has been produced and it was such that originated the spirituals, poetry and dances of the colored race. Phyllis Wheatley knew nothing of the technique of verse, neither were the originators of spirituals trained in counterpoint nor the creator of the charleston versed in rules of the Russian ballet, but each let their innermost feelings prompt their efforts. It is under such circumstances that a school of painting must first be established and not by merely recognizing those who are followers of established standards of European culture. The colored race must possess a French Queen Had Colored Daughter Writing in the March number of The Messenger, J. A. Rogers, a European correspondent for The Amsterdam News, reveals the fact that Queen Marie Theresa, the consort of King Louis XIV of France, became the mother of a black girl baby. According to Rogers, it seems that an African prince made the queen a present of a little black dwarf, to whom she became greatly attached. He was always with her, playing on the rich rugs and even sitting on her lap. Soon the other ladies of the French court began to get little black dwarfs and, in a short time, they became the vogue. This is the reason why nearly all of the paintings of the noble ladies of that period always show Little Negroes in attendance. Not long after the little black dwarf became a part of the Queen's household that lady found herself about to become a mother. When the baby, a girl, was born, it was jet black, and everybody agreed that the little dwarf had gotten the thorn and not the bone. LETTERS struggle between two good men and their followings. The internal wranglings between Morris and Boyd undoubtedly brought, two good men to their untimely graves and split in twain a virile body of the Christian church. The issue raged fiercely for a number of years over the control, and management of a publishing house designed to furnish spiritual literature for the nourishment of the Baptist household of faith. When the future generations look back upon this unseemly wrangle of Christian brothen over a non-essential secular triviality, they will hang their heads in shame. What difference could it make to the great cause of Christ whether one faction or the other printed and distributed Bibles and hymn books for inspiration and praise? The split of the great Baptist body into two denominations is the only schism ever made in the body of Christ over a trivial business matter. Of the existing two hundred and two Protestant deforminations, these are the only two which did not spring out of some difference of doctrine, or over some putative violation of essential Christian principle or practice. It stands out in its bad eminence as a lamentable failure of the Negro for ecclesiastical self-government. Of course, we may not contemplate any further such calamity over the disputed management of the school in question, but the issue points in the same ugly direction. It might be said in a general way that religious denominations have not generally had conspicuous success in running educational enterprises. Schools, colleges and universities always strive as soon as possible to throw off the yolk of ecclesiastical management and control. The University of Chicago chafed under Baptist authority; Vanderbilt pulled out from the Methodists; Hampton, Atlanta, Fisk and Meharry throw off the yoke of denominational rulership. If Miss Burroughs chafes under too tight a Baptist harness, she is but repeating the experience of great institutions of all denominations. Let us hope, however, that there will be found enough statemanship in Dr. L. K. Williams and his consecrated cabinet and enough of the spirit of sacrifice and consecration in Miss Nannie Burroughs to continue the good work of the Religious Training School without long-drawn-out bickerings or bitterness. International use GARDNER (ly of Independent Artists) the Negro's achievements in and the dance, the recent ex- ternational House could not be 's best efforts in painting and vast amount of unrecognized talent which will never be found in the art schools but must be sought for through open no-jury exhibitions in which production is encouraged by hanging all work that is submitted regardless of skill according to technical standards. Such an exhibition could be conducted along lines similar to those of The Society of Independent Artists in New York or the no-jury societies of Chicago and Boston, each of which is open to all and offer opportunities for the exhibition of work without submission to a jury. I sincerely hope that in the near future frequent exhibitions may be held in which the works not only of the Negro who is following art as a profession is shown, but also the efforts of those who follow other jobs of work as a means of livelihood and paint as an avocation, will be shown regardless of its resemblance to other recognized standards of art. It is altogether likely that from the latter class a powerful school will eventually develop that will enrich the whole world by its existence as the literature and music of the Negro has already done. to have a black child. At any rate, the child was baptized Louise-Marle, after the King and Queen, and sent to a convent to be brought up. There she remained until she died, known as Stater Louise-Marle, and visited occasionally by members of the royal family. Rogers concludes: "So far as the matter of color is concerned the black man might have been a mystery in those days, but in this hard-held age we are inclined to be a bit more skeptical. Library Notes There is on exhibit at the West 135th Street Library, in the Division of Negro Literature and History, on the third floor, a group of portraits of St. Helena islanders, off South Carolina, by Wmld Relss, whose studio is in Greenwich Village. Mr. Relss will be remembered for his cover design, decorative illustrations and portraits which appeared in the "New Negro," edited by Alain Locke. The portraits were exhibited at this library. Mr. Relss is the son of Fritz Relss, Bayard landscape painter, Claude McKay Post (1890 —) THE first poet of the Negro soul is Claude McKay. A character in all respects, private, literary, and patriotic so uncommonly excellent and noble as that of McKay can rarely be met with, either in the annals of history or the record of poetical biography. Claude McKay is a Jamaican; his ancestors came from Madagascar. At an early age he commenced to write verse in the dialect of the peasants of Jamaica. He was educated by his eldest brother. In 1912 he came to the United States where he attended for two years the Agricultural College of Kansas. Life is sparkling in McKay's songs, ballads and verbal paintings. There is often pain and sadness and longing for unmitigated freedom in his melodies. At times he is bitter, full of indignation and stinging mockery, fire and thunder. His satire is heavy and Making their mock at our ocurred lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die. So that our precious blood may ```markdown ``` effective. He is clever and original. And his poems are sharply lyrical. He sings no anemic beauties: his beauty is born of pain; often indeed, it is pain set to music, or rather, pain transmuted into sweet music. He displays a very vivid imagination, and has produced some of the most incomparable pieces that have ever graced the English language. His writings are nearly always pure, and some of them burn with the chastened sublimity of his inner emotions, expressed in language which could hardly have been rendered more appropriately beautiful. Consider as the work of one mind his volume "Harlem Shadows," which is a remarkable literary production, and has with ease alone entitled him to a high rank among black poets. McKay's claims to a lasting poetical celebrity rests exclusively on the merits of "If We Must Die" and "Harlem Shadows." "If We Must Die" is a strong, satirical poem fresh from the heart of the poet. By a few artless and simple touches it is made to stand out from the canvas with a verbal miltitude and individuality not inferior to those of Dunbar. His poetry, like that of Dunbar, has gone down into the hearts of a whole nation. And some of his rural songs may be heard on every mountain side in Jamaica. How full of deep sentiment and irony is "If We Must Die." I quoth it in full: If we must die, let it not be like hogs Raymond Claymes, baritone, will be heard in his second song recital at the Grace Congregational Church, 308 West 139th street, on Sunday afternoon, March 11, at 3:15 o'clock.

He has become a master dellenter of folk types and folk - Claude McKay - Making their mock at our so cursed lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die. So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! O Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered let us still be brave. And for their thousand blows deal one death blow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we will face the murderous, cowardly pack Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back! "Harlem Shadows" is of Negro Harlem. It is full of bitter realism. He says: I hear the halting footsteps of a lasa In Negro Harlem when the night lets fall Its veil, I see the shapes of girls who pass To be bend and barter at desire's call, Ah, the little dark girls who in silmored feet Through the long night until the silver break Of day the little gray feet know no rest; Through the lone night until the last snow-flake Has dropped from heaven upon the earth's white breast, The dusky, half-clad girl of tired feast Are trudging, thinly clad, from street to street. Ah, stern, harsh world, that in the wretched way Of poverty, dishonor and disgrace Has pushed the timid little feet of clay. The sacred brown feet of my fallen raise! Ah, heart of me, the weary, weary feet In Harlem wandering from street to street. There is an elastic generality in his spirit, a buoyant music in his numbers, a soul of enjoyment in his whole nature, that mark him a once a man of a thousand. And we feel in the charm that bears us along a strength that will our last a thousand years. It is like that of the stream that runs, the wind that blows, of the gut that comes up, ruddy as youth, from the bright east on an early summer's morning. It is the strength of nature living in its own joyful life, and mingling with the life of all around in gladdening companionship. For a hundred beautiful pictures of genuine Negro existence, and Negro feeling for many a tear shed, and a happy hour and bright remembrance we thank thee, Claude McKay. McKay's new book, "Home to Harlem," will be published soon by Harper & Brother.
