STAGE ALL SET FOR SENSATIONAL SEPARATION SUIT WHICH PROMISES TO ECLIPSE RHINELANDER TRIAL
REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
ROOMER FINDS HIS LANDLADY SLAIN UPON HIS RETURN
hroat Cut With Sharp Instrument — Thirteen-Year-Old Son at School — Husband Believed to Have Been at Work at Time of Tragedy
Coming home to prepare his dinner, Henry Johnson, a room at 2026 Seventh avenue, near 122d street, Apartment 10, discovered the body of his landlady, Mrs. Rita Crowe, 30, lying in the floor in a pool of blood at 2:30 p. m. last Wednesday. Her throat had been cut clear across and she had been dead or two hours. No other person was in the apartment, which was in perfect order, showing no signs of a struggle.
Johnson ran to the street and called the police, who accompanied him back to the death chamber. An alarm was sent in to the West 123d street station and Police Captain Fall, three uniformed men and several detectives arrived on the scene and conducted an investigation.
At the time of the crime Mrs. Crowe's 13-year-old son was at school and her husband, Clarence, was believed to be at work. The police searched the nicely furnished eight-room home for the crime weapon but found nothing. It is thought that a razor was used to kill Mrs. Crowe.
Judging by the orderly condition of the apartment and the position of Mrs. Crowe's body it was evident that some one had held her while standing, then cut her throat and he fell to the floor and died. The body was not yet cold when found, and the police discovered no motive or the crime.
The elevator operator and several emans were questioned but no one heard any screams or the sound of struggle.
Johnson, who is a porter for the New York Edison Company, told the police all he knew of the Crowe family.
Detectives Sullivan and Curtin were assigned to apprehend the layer.
Brother-in-Law Accused
On Thursday night Charles Crowe, brother-in-law of the slain Roman, was arrested at his home, 37 West 126th street, by Detectes Boyle, short, Nemetz, O'Conor, Sullivan and Curtin of the 123d street station, and charged with the crime. He was held without ball for arraignment in Homie Court.
His arrest information given by Mrs. Crowe's son, Juan, who told the detectives that his mother had recently caused the arrest of his uncle on a charge of eating her.
In court Mrs. Crowe accused him of assaulting her because she reused to elope with him.
At the time of his arrest Charles Crowe was still on probation on the assault charge. Chironce Crowe, he husband, who is employed at the Fifty-seventh Street Y. M. Y.A., told the police that his wife had no enmies and that she was on good terms with all her roomers, which also included Harry Jones, battle Crosby and Herbert and Marence Williams.
The Crowes, formerly resided at 24 West 122d street, from where they moved to their new location about a month ago.

Body Not Discovered Until Flames Were Extinguished by Firemen
Having been burned to death in a fire of unknown origin at 252 West 124th street late Friday night, the charred body of William Leawood. 28, was taken by the firemen from the bedroom in a fourth-floor apartment after the flames had been extinguished.
Patrolman Hogan of the West 123d street station summoned Dr. Wilkinson from Harlem Hospital in the vain hope that some life might remain in the body, but Leawood was pronounced dead on arrival.
Leawood lived with Mr. and Mrs. John Stewart.
The smell of smoke first aroused the tenants in the building and they fled to the street. The commotion attracted Patrolman Hogan and Sergeant Meyers, who were patrolling the vicinity in a police car.
They dashed into the building and hammered on every door to arouse others who might possibly be endangered. By this time the firemen arrived. Evidently Leawood was a sound sleeper, for he met his death when the flames ate their way through the four floors from the street level. The fire spread rapidly and threaten for a time to destroy an adjoining garage and other buildings. Truck 40, however, raised tall ladders and fought the blaze from the roof and the firemen succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
Second Degree Verdict for Slayer
Millis Says He - Slew Wife in Self-Defense
David Millis, 39, formerly of 206 West 133d street, was found guilty of manshaughter in the second degree by a jury in Part V of General Sessions Court Monday morning. Sentence of five and a half years in Sing Sing.
He was specifically charged with the murder of his wife, Ethel, whom he hacked to death with a hatchet December 20 as the aftermath of an altercation he had with her on the fourth floor of 202 West 134th street.
Millis stated that he acted in self-defense, and exhibited scars which he claims to have received when his wife first attacked him with a kitchen knife.
His conviction recalls the fact that Millis tried to commit suicide by turning on the gas in the apartment after he had committed the crime.

Delegates to Be Jim-Crowed at National Republican Convention
Lafayette B. Gleason of New York, in Letter to Committeemen, Says Negro Delegates Will Be Assigned to Rooms by Kansas City Committee
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12.—Capitulating to local custom, the Republican party is making plans for the segregation of delegates at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City, Mo., June 12.
Ga. Democratic Congressman Attacks Howard Univ. Head in House Speech
M. C. Tarver Cites Dr. Mordecai Johnson's Advocacy of Social Equality and Intermarriage
In a letter signed by Lafayette B. Gleason, of New York, secretary of the committee on arrangements for the national convention, members of the Republican national committee are being notified of hotel assignments for their state delegations.
After telling the committeemen that rooms have been reserved for their state delegations at certain hotels and that the management of the hotel will forward them contracts, Mr. Gleason adds that the local committee in Kansas City has charge of the assignment of rooms for Negro delegates.
There are two first class hotels and a Young Men's Christian Association available for Negro delegates, he advises.
This is the first time in the history of the Republican party that Negro delegates could not stop at the same hotel in which the white delegates from their state stop.
Besides the "black and tan" delegations from southern states there are always Negro delegates from northern and western states.

After reading excerpts of Dr.
Johnson's speech from The Balt-
more Afro-American, Mr. Tarver
said:
"This damnable doctrine which I have read is that promulgated by the man at the head of Howard University, to which a few days ago you appropriated the sum of $300,000. He is going around about the country spreading among the members of the Negro race and, of course, among the students of Howard University this rotten; indecent doctrine on marriage between the white and African races."
The attention of the House was directed to the speech of Dr. Johnson, Mr. Tarver stated, because representatives will be called upon shortly to vote upon the Reed bill to authorize annual appropriations to Howard University.
"I call attention to this fact," he said, "in order that every fair-minded man may study the situation and determine for himself whether or not he wants to vote in favor of a law legalizing appropriations to a university whose head is engaged in teaching among the members of the Negro race the damnable doctrine of social equality and of intermarriage with the white people."
Representative Tarver was one of three members of the House who signed a minority report on the Reed bill. The other two were Representatives B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, and Rene L. De Rouen, of Louisiana, both Democrats.

That Number of Suspects Await Sentence for "Numbers" Playing
Efforts to evade the usual 30-day sentence which is imposed on persons found guilty of "numbers playing" may earn an additional penalty of 30 days for thirteen defendants who pleaded not guilty to the charge when arraigned Thursday morning in Part I of Special Sessions. Those involved were warned that, should probation officers assigned to the various cases unearth additional evidence of guilt, the more severe penalty would be imposed.
The defondants arraigned were: Helen Ray, 30, 30 321 West 148th street; Ethel Jones, 25, 45 East 133rd street; John Allison, 35, 426 Lenox avenue; Alfred O'Neill, 36, 545 West 133rd street; Charles A.

They will all be retrained on March 30, with the exception of Helen Ray and Ethel Jones', whose cases were deferred for further action on March 16 and 20, respectively.

EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION
Mrs. Letitia Ernestine Brown Alleges She Lived With Defendant for Seventeen Years-Asks $20,000 Counsel Fees and $250 Weekly Alimony
Promising to eclipse the famous case of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the Supreme Court trial of Letitia Ernestine Brown, 39, of Harlem, in a separation suit against her alleged common-law husband, Carlton Curtis, white, 60-year-old multimillionaire clubman and Mayflower descendant, opens today in Special Term, Part 4, before Judge Townley.
Last June her application for $20,000 counsel fees and $250 weekly alimony was denied by Justice Black. Through her attorney, Richard E. Carey, 2376 Seventh avenue, Mrs. Brown took her application to the Court of Appeals.
The charge by Mrs. Brown that Curtis lived with her for seventeen years gives an odd twist to America's so-called race problem. No children were born to the couple du in this period, it is said.
Also, the modus operandi of the Caucaeian mind is made the more inexplicable by the fact that Curtis is said to be a confirmed Negro'hater, and at the same time was madly in love with Mrs. Brown, whom he is said to have forbidden to associate with her own race. Curtis' relatives for many years tried in vain to make him give up Mrs. Brown, it is reported.
About three dozen witnesses of both races, including several white merchants, will appear for Mrs. Brown. These persons will testify in lots of about six or less each day.
Jail or Marriage; ManChooses Latter
Attempt Made Before, but License Was Refused
—Girl Only 15
George Dunbar, 21, 101 West 126th street, forced to choose between imprisonment and marriage, chose the latter and was released on probation pending the immediate execution of his promise.
He was arraigned on Monday before Judge Donnellan in Part II of General Sessions Court, on a statutory charge of rape committed on Catherine Mason, 15, 56 West Fourteenth street.
Both defendant and plaintiff expressed their willingness to marry and testified that they hau made several efforts to do so, but were refused a license because Miss Mason was too young.
Judge Donnellan advised them to go to the Marriage License Bureau at once. A bench order will be issued in case they should experience any difficulty on this occasion.
Supreme Court Grants
Dressmaker Divorce
Mrs. Mabel Hines, a dressmaker of 285 West 150th street, was granted a decree of divorce in the Supreme Court the other day before Justice Davis against her husband, Fred Hines. Mrs. Mildred Tillman, wife of Louis Tillman, a barber in Washington, D. C., of 175 Beach Forty-sixth street, was named as correspondent. A $5,000 alienation suit is now pending against Mrs. Tillman. The raid was conducted at 2420 Seventh avenue and the evidence was obtained by operatives of the Boulin's National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street. The wife was represented by Attorney Richard E. Cary.
Mrs. Beatrice McCommon, 437 West Thirty-fifth street, was granted a decree of divorce against her husband, William McKinley McCommon, the other day in the Supreme Court before Justice Platzek. Mrs. Lucy Herbert, wife of Joseph Herbert, was named as correspondent. The Boulin's Detective Agency made the investigation and secured the evidence.

Although Curtis now maintains that he picked Mrs. Brown up "on a street corner in Harlem in 1910," he has not only admitted that he knew her but that he gave her thousands of dollars. Checks for various large amounts from Curtis are in the hands of Mrs. Brown's attorney. Curtis is said to have given Mrs. Brown well over $100,000 aside from establishing a fruit fund for her, which paid her $1,000 a month. The millionaire clubman accorded Mrs. Brown an honor that would never have been bestowed on a "pick up" when he gave her, it is said, a family heirloom, a solid silver fruit dish bearing the family crest, this article being a wedding gift to Curtis mother. Included with this valuable gift was a large quantity of pear-handled silver. Other gifts included expensive paintings and draperies which hung in Mrs. Brown's Harlem apartment. It is reported that when Mrs. Brown began her suit Curtis' attorney was instrumental in having them removed during her absence. Curtis now denies that he ever lived with Mrs. Brown, but the woman declared she had proof that she

Rose From Slavery to Election as Advisor to Governor of Massachusetts
Rose From Slavery to Election as Advisor to Governor of Massachusetts
The closing chapter of the life of a Negro who, born a slave, rose to be Constitutional Advisor of a Governor of Massachusetts, was written Saturday night in the death of Isaac B. F. Allen, 85, 244 West 122d street, Civil and Spanish War veteran and politician. "Ike" Allen's Republican election to membership of the Executive Council of Governor Roger Wolcott of Boston, Mass., in 1896 by popular vote, thereby defeating J. H. Sullivan, white, Democrat, startled the country.
Dunoral services over the remains of Mr. Allen were held last night at Duncan Brothers' Funeral Parlor, 2303 Seventh avenue. The veteran, who once served with the Sixth Regiment of Massachusetts, may be buried in the National Cemetery.
Suffering with gland trouble, Mr. Allen had been ill for about six months. He had been told that an operation was necessary. He refused to submit to an operation, however, saying that he would rather die. He was taken to his bed five weeks ago, his condition becoming increasingly worse. Toward the last moments of life he said "my hour has come" and passed into the other life.
Mr. Allen is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mattie Allen, and a brother in Boston. Two daughters and a son by a previous marriage also survive him. The present widow is the veteran's third wife, whom he married on November 28, 1914. There were no children by this mating.
Abandons Baby on Way to Store
Four-Months'-Old Infant in Foundling Ward of Bellevue Hospital
"Won't you please take care of my baby while I run down to the store?"
"Why sure," said Mrs. O'Nelda Holmes, 101 West 140th street, as she took charge of a bouncing four months-old baby girl last Wednesday morning. Two hours passed and the baby's mother did not re
Mr. Allen was born a slave at Virginia, Va., June 8, 1843. He received his education in the day and night schools in that city. He followed the Civil War veterans as a servant, and then enlisted in Company A of the First New York Regiment of Mounted Rifles. He saw service at Yorktown, Williamsburg, Va., and elsewhere, and was mustered out of the army at the close of the war.
He has been a cook, a nickel platter, a barber and a restaurateur. At the time of his Boston election he was in the real estate business there. For two years or more he was a member of the Republican Ward Committee in Wards 12 and 18. At that time he was a charter member of the G. L. Ruffin Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, where he was past chancellor; a member of losing Sun Lodge of Masons and ex-merger of the Odd Fellows. Mr. Allan was also a trustee of Ebenezer Baptist Church at Boston.
On Dec. 3, 1896, following his election in the Fourth District, he received notice of the same from the Lieutenant Governor William Murry Crane of Dalton and took his oath of office at the state capital on Jan. 7, 1897. Mr. Allen was elected by a vote of 22,736 and his opponent met defeat with 22,670 votes.
At that time the white press declared that Allen won because the voters preferred the name of "Allen" to the Irish name of "Sullivan," but didn't know they were voting for a Negro, but this was clearly disproven by Ike Allen's popularity. He served in the Council for one year, during which time he was also on the following committees: Harbors and Public Lands, Charitable Institutions, Railroad and the State House Committee. It was Mr. Allen's vote that stopped the removal from office of Police Commissioner Augustus P. Martin, white, it is said. At that time a prominent Boston daily said of Mr. Allen: "He is easily the most remarkable colored politician in his way in the North." Mr. Allen then organized the Murray Crane Colored Republican Tammany of Boston," and ran for the office of Street Commissioner of Boston against two very formidable white opponents. Mr. Allen came to New York in 1905, but divided his time between this city and Boston until about 1808, when he made this city his permanent residence.
"Common-Law" Wife Sues Curtis
and Curtis lived together in Freeport, L. L., for at least ten years. This alleged fact is said to be common knowledge to Curtis' relatives, who are prominent members of New York society, and like himself listed in the Social Register. For seven years prior to going to Freeport, Mrs. Brown declares that Curtis lived with her in West Fifty-fourth street here. Relatives of Curtis, it is said, often visited the common-law couple at Freeport and made merry.
Curtis is connected with one of the oldest and most prominent families in Manhattan and can trace his ancestry back to the Mayflower. He is also a Princeton University graduate.
During the seventeen years Curtis is said to have lived with Mrs. Brown he assumed the name of Harry Brown to hide his identity, his alleged mate declares. The trust fund which he established was for ever three-quarters of a million dollars, but Curtis had this trust revoked in 1926, at which time he accused her of giving her affection to a colored man. It is whispered that Curtis did not object to Mrs. Brown having "an outside man" provided he was white.
The Freeport museum Curtis is said to have purchased especially for Mrs. Brown. He also provided her with high-priced automobiles chauffeurs and a maid. Pin money

Death Here
Four-Months'-Old Infant in Foundling Ward of Bellevue Hospital
"Won't you please take care of my baby while I run down to the store?"
"Why sure," said Mrs. O'Neilda Holmes, 101 West 140th street, as she took charge of a bouncing four-months-old baby girl last Wednesday morning. Two hours passed and the baby's mother did not return, which led Mrs. Holmes to remark, "That woman must be buying out the store."
About 11:30 a.m. it suddenly dawned upon her that the tot had been left for "keeps." "Now can you beat that?" she reflected. "Polls are always giving away something that they have no use for themselves. I surely can't keep this child here—what will my husband say?"
So she called Patrolman Knowles of the West 135th street station, on duty at the corner, and he came to her rescue by taking the child to the police station. Later the tot was sent to the foundling ward at Bellevue Hospital, where she now awaits adoption by anybody who wants a nice baby.
Alleged Accomplice in Musical Instrument Robbery Held for Trial
Joseph R. Johnson, 24, formerly of 2104 Madison Avenue, said by Doctor Lichtenstein, State allenist, to be the possessor of a "split mind," and declared by the police of a "plum" and a petty thief, a drug peddler, a dispenser of narcotics, and a user of cocaine, was sentenced Thursday by Judge Donnellan, sitting in Part II of General Sessions Court, to serve not less than two nor more than four years in the penitentiary, when found guilty on charges of grand larceny and burglary in the third degree.
His conviction comes as a climax to what is, perhaps, Harlem's most musical robbery, which was pulled off during the early morning of January 24 in a cafe at 2183 Fifth avenue.
George Bruin, proprietor, claims that a victoria, a radio, a fute, and a Jewish harp were among the articles stolen, and added ruefully that his patrons being deprived of music during meals caused him to lose much of his trade.
An offer of leniency by the District Attorney elicited much information from Johnson and led eventually to the arrest of William White, 25, 28 West 133d street, a laborer, who is now in the Tombs, awaiting trial on the same charge.
In 1919 White was arrested for petitt larceny and burglary and given short sentences. In 1921 he was arrested on charges of possessing burglar tools, but was discharged for lack of evidence. Finally in April, 1924, he served time in the penitentiary for receiving stolen goods. If convicted on this charge, White will, in all probability, be given a life sentence under the specifications of the Baunes Law.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1928
CHICAGO, March 11.—A hornet's nest was stirred up today by Mayor Thompson when he summoned his supporters to a mass meeting to boost the Small-Thompson State and county candidates.
There probably would have been no disturbance if the Mayor had anded his program there, but he spoke on behalf of Representative Martin B. Madden, who is opposed this year by a strong Negro movement, the backers of which are supporting one of their number, William L. Dawson, with a demand that a district four-fifths black be represented by a Negro.
As Mr. Thompson talked for Madden, the noise, particularly from the gallery of the meeting hall, where it consisted chiefly of the stamping of feet, became deafening. Chairman Dan Jackson pounded his gavel. Several leaders on the platform held up their hands for quiet, but Mayor was compelled to stop speaking and it was several minutes before he could be heard again.
Two Dead in Church Riot at Miami, Fla.
MLAMI, Fla., March 12.—(PNS)—A church row which broke out had serious results last week when the pastor, Princess Laura Kofey, and Maxwell Cook, who is said to have entered the church during services, accompanied by several companions, armed with pistols and shotguns were slain. All opened fire on Princess Kofey, the minister, who was in her pulpit delivering a sermon. She fell, fatally wounded, and the congregation rose as one and swarmed around the armed intruders and disarmed them. Police say that all escaped except Cook, and he, beaten and stoned, was dead when the officers finally quelled the disturbance.

Convict Who Escaped Prison With Guard's Aid Mortally Wounded
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 12.—Stealing out of his dormitory with the help of a white guard and scaling the prison wall under cover of darkness, John Whitfield, Cleveland murderer, escaped from Ohio penitentiary Saturday, only to be mortally wounded in the guard's home as he fought to retain his freedom.
To-night, pierced through and through with gunshot wounds, Whitfield lay at death's door in the penitentiary hospital. The guard, Orion Hill, and his wife, were held in Columbus prison awaiting grand jury action, having confessed, police said, their part in the plot to free Whitfield. Two prison tower guards, Henry Hollender and John Whipps, also white, were discharged from the penitentiary service for their negligence.
Hill, the warden declared, said he and his wife were to get a farm between Akron and Cleveland and $2,000 or $3,000 in cash for abetting the escape.
Whitfield escaped, according to information furnished the warden by a prisoner who said he saw the man leave, about 2 o'clock this morning. Hill has confessed it was he who sled the bolt that enabled the convict to gain access to the prison yard. Once there, he scaled the wall, using an improvised rope. Then he fled through the silent streets to Hill's home.

City police were called in to aid prison officers in the search, and Norwood Folk, a city detective, and Daniel Bonzo, record clerk at the pentimentary, were sent to the guard's residence. There they found Whitfield and Folk opened fire, wounding the escaped prisoner in the abdomen. The officer's gun jammed but after a fierce hand-to-hand encounter he subdued Whitfield and, concealing the condition of his weapon, was forcing him down a stairway when his assailant whipped a butcher knife from his clothing and renewed the attack. Folk was forced to yield and Whitfield bounded from the house, only to be brought down by a charge from a shotgun in the hands of Bonzo. He is not expected to recover. Whitfield killed Dennis Griffin, Cleveland patrolman, in May, 1923.

Judge Martin Again
Refuses Baumes Sentence
County Judge George W. Martin, in Brooklyn, refused last Tuesday to obey the Baumes law providing for extra severe penalties to persons convicted of crime for the second time. Judge Martin had before him William A. Reeder, who had pleaded guilty to a violation of the Sullivan law and who was sentenced on November 16, 1926, to serve three years in Sing Sing. When Reeder's record disclosed that he was a second offender, he was sent back for resentence under the Baumes laws.
"I will not resentence you, Reeder, unless the higher courts compete to do so," said Judge Martin. "There are some of the Baumes laws which would be repealed, in short order if the people understood them. Punishment cannot be too severe in the case of robbers and burglars that invade the home, but according to the view of some there is no difference under the Baumes laws between unfortunate in crime and the hardened and vicious criminals."

President of Tenn. State College Addresses Columbia "U" Audience
"The last ten years have seen almost revolutionary changes in the South. Its widely heralded economic and industrial expansion has been paralleled by a widespread growth of the spirit of tolerance and good feeling. Suspicion and hate have been put aside by all except the most unlightened. Interracial groups meet regularly and seek intelligent and unbiased approaches to the more difficult problems of race relations."
Thus spoke Prof. William J. Hale before a group of students at Columbia University, Monday night, March 5, 1828.
This was the fourth of a series of five special lectures given at the university on Negro education. Prof. Hale, who is president of the Agricultural and Industrial State College, Nashville, Tean., lectured on "The purpose and program of the National Association of Teachers in Colored schools."
"Southern judges and juries are serving notice that the rights of Negroes must be respected. Education and health are strongly entrenched articles in the religion of the South of today. Legislatures are appropriating millions of dollars for better buildings and better equipment for schools of both races," said the speaker in the conclusion of his lecture.
Jackson Davis, field agent of the General Education Board, Richmond, Va., spoke on "Recent Progress in Negro colleges," the last of the series, on Monday, March 12.
The other lectures included the following: Mabel Carney, professor of Rural Education, Teachers' Col

Formly Dismisses Complaint of Worker for Lack of Jurisdiction
Accordg to Organizer Strike Vote Is Next Move to Abolish Tipping and Give Porters Living
WISHINGTON, March 12. — The Interstate Commerce Commission Friday formally dismissed, for lack of jurisdiction, a complaint of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters against the Pullman Company.
If their complaint the porters protested that they were from long practice compelled to depend on gratuities for a considerable portion of their wages, that this fact was known to the Pullman Company, which was a party to the practice and praised this compensation. It was claimed that this was a violation of the two sections of the Interstate Commerce Act, in at passengers felt compelled to pay more for service than the unwilling published rate and that there was undue prejudice and discrimination between passengers who paid unequal amounts and received unequal service.
Commissioners Atchison, Eastman and Lewis joined in a dissent-inspiration. They held that the complaint seemed to state facts with, if established, may constitute violations of the Interstate Commerce Act and possibly the Ebb Act.

The company, it was averred, erred its business just after the cancellation, when it was customary for Negroes to volunteer personal service to whites for a small ranch or tip, and that the company had built up and fostered the practice. According to A.

Randolph points out that the disbanding opinion that there is grave obst as to the tenability, soundness and legality of the decision. Henry T.

Col. Taylor Praises Late Colonel Young
Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., was honored at memorial services in observance of his 63rd birthday anniversary, last Sunday afternoon, at Salem M. E. Church.
The meeting was arranged by Cleveland G. Allen, who presided. Col. William A. Taylor of the 369th infantry and his staff, members of the Col. Young Post of the American Legion, Red Cross Nurses and the Veterans of Foreign Wars attended the services.
Col. Taylor, who was the principal speaker, praised Col. Young for his courage and devotion to duty. He said that the 369th infantry was being conducted along the lines that he believed would receive the approval of Col. Young.
"As long as I am colonel of the 369th Infantry," said Col. Taylor, "the regiment will not be exploited for the personal ambition of any individual. When I came to the regiment only 40 per cent of the officers were Negroes. Today 85 per cent of the officers are Negroes." Messages were received from President Conlidge and others. A splendid musical program was rendered.
Brooklynites Charge Each Other With Assault
Counter charges of felonious assault were made by Louisa Adams and William Ayers, Friday morning. According to the police of the Conay Island Court, Miss Adams and Ayers run a laundry at 2051 Bath avenue. They got into a row over financial matters. The argument became so heated that Miss Adams is alleged to have decided that a revolver would be more convincing than words, and went to a desk and returned with one. She is alleged to have pointed the gun at Ayers' head and pulled the trigger. Her aim was bad and she did not hit the mark.
Before she could pull the trigger the second time Ayers took the gun from her. Her life is then alleged to have drawn a penknife and cut Miss Adams. During the row the police came and both were arrested on charges of felonious assault. Miss Adams was taken to the Harbor Hospital for treatment.
Ayers was taken to the Coney island police station.

Grief over the departure of the man she loved is said to have caused Judithin Bond, 24, 115 West 135th street, to attempt suicide by drinking lodine last Wednesday evening on Seventh avenue near 133d street. Patrolman Jinger of the West 135th street station saw the woman fall to the street.
He rushed to her aid and took her into a nearby drug store in an unconscious condition. Dr. Ghee was summoned from Harlem Hospital and the woman's case was pronounced serious.

Segregation in White Protestant Churches Scored by Mordecai Johnson
Speech of Educator Features Brotherhood Night of Congregational Club of New York at Hotel McAlpin Dinner — Eva Jessye's Singers Heard
Race segregation in the Protestant Christian Church of white America was vigorously scored and a commanding and eloquent plea for an increase in the number of Christian-minded white people who will treat Negroes as brothers was made by the Rev. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, addressing the Congregational Club of New York and vicinity at a dinner Monday night in the Colonial Room of the Hotel McAlpin, Broadway and Thirty-third street, on the arresting subject of "The Negroes, the South and the Church." Oliver Huckel, white, president of the club, presided over this, the last meeting of the season, designated as "Brotherhood Night." The Rev Dr. Johnson was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Hugh H. Proctor of Brooklyn. The Dixie Jubilee Singers, led by Eva Josaye, sang several Spirituals, which were more than enthusiastically received.
Bishop Manning Pleads For Negro Education
The work of the Episcopal Church was reviewed Monday night by Bishop Manning in asking for extra diocesan contributions of $150,000, at a major meeting at Carnegie Hall.
The Rev. Dr. Johnson said that the Protestant Christian Church of the South following the Civil War failed utterly in handling a problem that has grown to be the weightiest and most acute.
Great stress was laid upon the manner in which Negroes are segregated out of the white Protestant churches not only in the South, but right in this city, the most vital spot of influence in the world. Attention was called to the reverse condition in the Catholic Church, where both races worship together, "even in New Orleans."
"Our Christian program should try experimentally to cross that chasm that separates white from black and makes them brothers. If it is successful here, then it is a prophetic certainty that we can do it in Africa and India."
The speaker said that the Negro is losing faith in the church at an alarming rate. Out of 13,000 Negro college students only 60 are studying for the ministry, he stated. However, there is undeniable proof, he said, of the great value of Christian education in the spread of Negro colleges throughout the land, all founded by a Christian minority that was imbued with the true spirit of Christ and who recognized the essential dignity of the human soul. "A most disappointing calamity would be the moral collapse of the Christian Church; and the attitude of North, East and West will decide this for the South.
"You should show the Negro that there is a difference in white people who follow Christ and those who do not. And you can only do this by dealing with him in the eventualities of his daily life. The Negro is struggling against your crude and frozen religion, a religion that segregates and drives him away instead of making him feel that he can worship alongside of you without that feeling of 'difference'. It is my hope to see an ever increasing number of white men and women who have the Christian consciousness, in spirit and in truth."
Bishop Manning Pleads For Negro Education
The work of the Episcopal Church was reviewed Monday night by Bishop Manning in asking for extra diocesan contributions of $160,000, at a mass meeting at Carnegie Hall. This sum, applied to $500,000 already pledged, the Bishop said, would be used for new school buildings and equipment for the nine institutions of the American Church Institute for Negroes. "We in New York have special reason to be interested in the work of the institute," he said, "for churchmen of this diocese had much to do with the founding of this great agency. Among them was our beloved bishop at that time, the Rev. David H. Greer, and we have, I am proud to say, more colored people connected with the church in this diocese than in any other diocese either in the South or North.
"I have lived and worked many happy years in the South and I take pride in the fact that the first two children I ever baptized were two little colored tables, the first class I confirmed as Bishop was a class of colored people, the first church that I consecrated was for a colored congregation, the first parish house that I consecrated was for a colored parish, and the first Bishop at whose consecration I assisted was a colored Bishop."
More than 7,000 young men and women are being educated in the institute's schools, and one-third of the cost of their education is contributed by Negroes.

Protest Use of School to Incite Race Hatred
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12. Although Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, members of the Board of Education, were advised of the Improper use of the Wilson Normal School for the holding of meetings to arouse race hatred through the advocacy of restrictive covenants, neither of them made any protest at the board meeting Wednesday. The Columbia Heights Citizens' Association, of which Alton B. Carty, 1234 Harvard street northwest, is the president, met at the Wilson Normal School Tuesday night. At this meeting there was a lengthy discussion of ways and means of preventing colored persons from buying and living in homes in Columbia Heights.
Try to Find Parents of 2-Months-Old Baby
Effort is being made by the police to identify the parents of a two-months-old baby girl of dark brown complexion, well dressed, which was found abandoned last Tuesday behind a stairway at 41 West 136th street.
The lusty cries of the child attracted the attention of John T. Mitchell, 168 West 134th street, who had gone to that address to visit his sister. Mitchell then notified Policeman Edward Jackson on duty at 135th street and Lenox avenue, who took the baby to the station house. She has since been transferred to the foundling ward at Bellevue Hospital.
Lucky as "Red-Headed Dutchman," Clerk Says
"He is as lucky as a red-hooded Dutchman," said Chief Clerk Hackenberger when Fred Jackson, 23, 100 West 138th street, arraigned in Special Sessions Court last Thursday morning on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, was tried and found not guilty.
His dismissal recalls the fact that he was arraigned and dismissed on three occasions last year—in January for robbery, in May for grand larceny, and in July for felonious assault—being discharged on all counts for lack of evidence.
Protestants in Evangelistic Rally
Ten Churches in Harlem Cooperating in City=Wide Movement

THE SUN'S RAYS
Brilliant Harlem Amazes Old Timer
Night Scenes. There Bespeak High Life, Wealth and a Positive Prosperity.
A New Yorker who had been absent from his city for several years had occasion the other day to make a business visit to the very center of the new negro community of Harlem, around Saventh Avenue and 135th street. What he saw amazed him. Eye and ear absorbed impressions that could not, most likely, be obtained anywhere else on earth.
It was at night and the quarter was an brilliantly illuminated streetway and forty-second street. Younks in fancy investors and plusieurs, a costume more often seen in California or Florida around country were then elsewhere, passed up and town the street and in and out the parking space and pool hall.
Young men, some of them quite light of completion and pretty, appeared singly and in groups, all tressed in the minute in frocks that obviously cost plenty of money in good shape. Diamonds, or good imbibers, flashed on all sides, most were for shoes and as nearly the reason, garment of the college youth, but far more expensive fur.
The prevailing note in costumes, for both men and women, was high color and a certain flamoyancy in cut, but it was not unattractive and actually stimulating.
Motion picture theaters as large and apparently as well appointed as many of the big downtown cinemas flashed their invitation. Jars was rearing from a dozen radios in market. It was too early for the eight clobber of the director's way, but the customers were preparing for the celebration of the evening. Sound and color were everywhere making an atmosphere much more spirited than can be found almost anywhere else in town. The streets were strung with thousands the greater part of whom seemed not only to be far removed from poverty, but to be actually prosperous.
An acquaintance of the man who was seeing this part of Harlem for the first time in several years, pointed out inside of four billboards those who are regarded as millionaires that were not thinking of making out an income tax report five or six years ago. One of these was the fashionable physician of the quarter. He drives an $18,000 imported car and enjoys an income required to approach $80,000 a year. His wealth is placed at easily three-quarters of a million. Another of the three was a contractor and builder who has erected many big buildings in that part of town and who is easily in the millionaire class, another was owner of the more modern theaters and is said to have income of from $30,000 to $40,000 a year.
Probably $20,000 negroes reside in this particular section of the city, forming a big community of its own social and positive lifestyle, a city within a city. It has its own department street, its own theaters, its own markets, its own night clubs in business and pleasure it depends largely upon itself. It is said that residents of the district, as they increase in prosperity, are gradually

CIRCULATION STATEMENTS ---And Circulation Statements
A situation exists among some Harlem newspaper publishers wherein there is apparent confusion between circulation figures quoted and the desire to have those circulation figures. That is to say, circulation figures are quoted and statements issued without regard to actualities. "Press Run" is confused with circulation and ACTUAL NET PAID CIRCULATION seems to be an unknown quantity.
A fact worthy of consideration by the Advertising World is that Want Ads are a form of local advertising of immeasurable value as a barometer of Media. The Amsterdam News carries more Want Ads than all the other Weekly newspapers combined!
The net result of this situation is that the Agency Space Buyer or Advertiser is placed at a disadvantage in the selection of media. This imposes a burden upon the Advertiser that he should not be called upon to bear. The selection of media is important to the Advertiser and Agency Space Buyer, in that the Advertising dollar should be invested in the most favorable medium favorable from the standpoints of coverage and sales-producing possibilities.
The Agency Space Buyer and the Advertiser Are Entitled to Know the Actual Net Paid Circulation
An independent survey of 200 newsstands in the Harlem district shows that the average number of copies sold weekly by all the other Harlem newspapers combined number 4,896 The average number of copies of The Amsterdam News sold weekly on these same stands number 13,231
It is to correct this evil situation that The Amsterdam News urges All Advertisers and Agency Space Buyers to insist upon Guaranteed Circulation Statements and the privilege of examining Circulation Records in lieu of an A. B. C. Circulation Report.
The Amsterdam News sells 11,366 copies more than the nearest competitor
11,472 copies more than the second newspaper
11,959 copies more than the third newspaper
AND 8,335 copies more than all of them combined.

The speaker outlined a program of larger activities for the auxiliary in the coming year and complemented it for its one work during 1827. Mrs. Hunton made an eloquent plea for support of the N. A. A. C. P., as an agency working for full justice and opportunity for Negroes. The auxiliary is rapidly growing in numbers and is becoming influential in the work of the N. A. A. C. P., under the leadership of its president, Mrs. Wiley Wilson.

TO Countee Cullen, Wallace Thurman and Harold Jackman go the honor of having helped T. J. Stribling, author of "Teeftallow" and co-author of the play "Kope," to see Harlem.
Not particularly interesting is Mr. Stribling's account of the trip in Sunday's World, but it did give a short cut to his idea of Negroes—Northern and Southern—and his "very good" opinion of Harlem. And this is saying much for a white Tennesseean.
It is to laugh, however, that Mr. Stribling had spent a great "talking" night with these three men, who planned his Harlem tour, and at the close of it all he had to say was the following:
"This fellow Cullen, who has been running around with us all evening, what does he do?"
"Well, nothing much," said Jackman. "He writes a little verse now and then."
"Cullen," repeated I, "Cullen—Cullen—what's his first name?"
"Countee," said Jackman, "Countee Cullen."
It seemed to me I had heard the name before somewhere.
And no doubt he had! They are both of the stellar regions—one brown, the other white—T.E.B.

"I suffered quite a bit
with weakness, and at times
would have severe head-

to bed. My limbs seemed to
draw, and I felt so weak
and shaky. This was just
before I graduated, and I
didn't want to lose any time
in school. I was listless and
tired all the time.
"Cardui was recommended.
After the first bottle I
felt better, but I wasn't
willing to quit them. I took
another, and there was a
great difference in my feel-
ing. I do not suffer now
with headaches—in fact, I
feel well."

How the Attic May Be Converted Into a Charming Bedroom
A NUMBER of our readers are leaving Greater New York and buying specious bungalows in New Jersey and in Long Island. Hence, we shall turn our attention to rooms that we are not fortunate to enjoy in the apartment. houses. We'll begin at the very top and by early spring we'll have the home complete. Instead of leaving theattle for a store-room, or one to remain dark and dismal, a little work can convert it into a charming bedroom. If you have some furniture stored away after having redecorated another bedroom in the house, and if it appears too old for use again, a bit of enamelling will restore it to a brightness that will be appreciated in this extra bedroom, which, when finished, will be decorative and new.
If the attic room is sunny, then let your colors be "cool"; if cold or bleak, the colors should be "warm". For the former type of room use lavender, blue and rose, orchid green and peach. For the latter type, deep rose or gold and green. For the walls, use a bright, attractive wall paper. For this type of room the wall paper is far more attractive than a plain tinted wall. Cover the floor with a large carpet, or, if you prefer, small rugs; but let the color be fairly dark in tone. Linoleum may cover the floor, with small rugs scattered about. Most attic rooms have slanted ceilings and dormer windows. Therefore, furnish your room informally.
Informal Furnishings.
Simple Colonial furniture is suited to this type of room. However, as I mentioned above, if you have the cast-off furniture stored in this room, no matter what type, ename it, which will make it very effective. The gayly colored chinzes, cretonnes, cotton taffetas, rains, plain colored volles are suitable for curtains, pillows, window-seat covers

"The Happy Marriage" was the subject Macco Thomas, business man, spoke on before the Lausanne Club last Friday night at its meeting at the Urban League Building, 92 West 136th street. He stressed the fact that religion, education and health are important roles in the successful marriage.
Elmo M. Anderson, founder and president of the club, announced that there will be a debate between the men and women of this group on Friday, March 23. "Resolved: That we should have intermarriage" is the subject to be discussed.
Tea was poured by the New York Charity Bureau at 149 West 186th street on Sunday. Under the supervision of the junior department, twenty-five young people took part on the program. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman made the principal address.

and bedspreads. Lamps can also add to the charm of this room. An attractive hanging book-shelf will also fit into the scheme.
As a Guest Chamber.
Have the walls covered with a tinted green paper that has a faint all-over design in a light gray tone. The furniture in the room consists of a maple four-poster bed, a chest of drawers, a ladder-back chair and a table. If furniture to be enameled is used, it is surprising how delightfully charming it can be if enameled black. If the room is large enough, a dressing table can be used. A small rocker may be used for comfort, or one of the cretonne-covered chairs.
A brightly colored cretonne, with plink and green coloring, is pretty, if used for the side-drapes, bedspread, window-seat cover, pillows and draped around the dressing table. Over the dressing table, which can be placed under the slanting wall, hang a small, square mirror. On each side of the mirror hang a pretty picture. Candlesticks placed on each side of the dressing table, having the candles green or pink, are very pretty. A vase for fresh cut flowers or pretty artificial ones complete the dressing table. A pretty, gally colored shade for the lamp placed on the table adds to the cheerfulness of this room. Place it beside a few books, magazines and a writing-paper rack. Small braided rugs cover the floor

Little Alde That Make Big Appetites.
That thick, juicy steak that you have on special occasions will be twice as good if you serve on it olives which have been cut from the stones and sautéed in the frying pan with a little butter.
A Help for Beans.
To add a restful and appetizing flavor to baked beans, stir in several tablespoons of Chili sauce just before taking them from the oven. This goes equally well with home baked beans or canned beans, which may be removed from the can and heated.
Improve Hot Pancakes.
Spread hot pancakes with apple butter. Roll, as for jelly roll, and sprinkle powdered sugar sensuously over the top. This makes a delicious and different dessert.
Better Gravy.
To make good gravy better, especially if it is to be served with roast pork or pork chops, stir into it a generous dash of tomato catchup or Chill cauce.

The pupils of Miss J. Morrison Robinson's private kindergarten class gave a "Kiddies' Carnival" at St. Mark's Church last Thursday night. The children, who range in ages from 3 to 7, were dressed like animals. In the closing scenes, however, the young folks wore full evening clothes.
At this school courses are given in French conversation, regular kindergarten work, dramatization and folk dancing. Instructions are given in two rooms in the tower of St. Mark's Church. The children also use the playroom of the gymnasium for their folk dancing and the regular dulung-room for their lunch. Their hours in school are 9 to 8 clock.
Assistants in the school are Miss Charlotte Lewis and Miss Olga Wilcher.

Light sk that men can't resist!
YOU can lighten your complexion many tones, instantly with this delightful; long-clinging face powder. And it will look right, too, because Nadine is so wonderfully fine and smooth that it lies closely and softly against the skin. The moment you dust on this perfect face powder, you will notice how different it is from the ordinary kind. All shine and disagreeable oiliness will vanish away, giving your skin a lovely, dainty softness—and the light tone that men simply cannot resist.
And the perfume! A marvelous fragrance, deep and rich and lasting—it will remind you of a garden of exquisite oriental flowers. You'll love it—men go wild over it. Most girls are so captivated with the delicious odor of Nadine that they use it not only for face powder, but on their hands, arms, shoulders and throats, sur-

Jules Hurtt, theatrical and burlesque producer and president of the Hurtt & Seamon Enterprises, died on the steamship Reliance at sea last Friday from a heart attack. Mrs. Hurtt was on board the steamer, accompanying her husband on a cruise of the West Indies.
The body will be taken to Havana and brought to New York for burial in about ten days. Harry J. Seamon, who has been associated with Mr. Hurtig for 47 years, will leave for Havana on Tuesday to supervise the transportation arrangements, the transportation of his life was devoted to the theatre, either in the burlesque field or the legitimate stage. In the former he and his partner managed the famous team of Williams and Walker, comedians, who were so successful here that a European tour was undertaken. Later the partners produced on Broadway the successful "Just Married." They also sponsor (Giva and Take) Badges and the "Just Married" However, must the success of Hurtig and Seamon was in the burlesque field
Mr. Hurtig began his theatrical career as a circus-ticket speculator. He was born in Cincinnati. He began his partnership with Mr. Seamon in a vaudeville agency, and their firm is credited with having opened a ballroom hall with his own design.

Some Dramatic Notes
Lenore Uirtic's record-breaking engagement as Lulu Belle in the Belasco Theatre, New York, was one of the outstanding sensations of recent years. For 468 performances she crowded that plaphouse to capacity and now she is to be seen at the Cort-Jamaica Theatre for the first time since the close of her metropolitan run, during the week beginning March 19, as part of a tour that will take her to the principal cities of the country.
"Lulu Belle, which was especially written for her Uirtic, is now performing from day to day play in which she has previously appeared under Mr. Telasco's direction. As the Harlem cabaret performer, she has even surpassed his great successes in "Tiger Rose," "The Son-Daughter," "Kiki" and "The Harem," and achieved a triumph that has been little short of sensational.
The entry of Paul Robeson in the cast of the Theatre Guild's production of "Porgy" at the Republic Theatre has resulted in the introduction of two songs, both by Robeson. One is sung during the game of dice in the first act; it is a rolling fifty in which the Crown of the play lamentes "honey baby, you didn't treat me right." The other is a hesitation blues, equipped with lyrics telling of a perigination in the general direction of Alabama. This is sung during the storm scene of the second act, when the religious are slinging tunes suitable to the coming of Judgment Day, while Crown, berating their idea of the Lord's taste in music, breaks into his syncapation.
It is said that "Blackbirds of 1928," the revue now being presented at Law Loftie's "Les Ambassadeurs," will be elaborated into a full length musical revue for presentation at a regular Broadway theatre late this spring.

A Number of People on the Stage You've Heard of or Read About
And So to Mrs. Down's Lincoln Theatre
WE snap our fingers with a scorn we would not even try to conceal at those skeptics insisting that Negro audiences are unable to appreciate something a little better than the hackneyed revue, which has been the dish served up to doctle and more gentle audiences in what is known as the Negro Theatre for a generation.
Although we had in the past witnessed the rare treat, if you can call it such, of audiences at the Lincoln Theatre bubbling over with joy at the fine work of our people in dramatic sketches, we decided to see for ourselves if the years had made any change in the people and journeyed to the Lincoln to see the Ida Anderson Players on Monday night.
Readers will recall that these people are made up of former Lafayette Players, among them being Monty Hawley, Lawrence Chenault, Billy Andrews, Inez Clough and Mrs. Anderson. We had the proof of the padded handed to us on a golden platter when that Monday night audience applauded at the end of the sketch as we have never seen an audience in any of the Harlem theatres applaud a revue within the past few years.
It was one of those honest outbursts which the people in the sketch just drew from the hearts of those witnessing the production. "The Branding Iron," though short, had enough of pap and thrill to "make 'em like it." and to Hawley, Mrs. Anderson and Billy Andrews went that applause which must have made them feel like going all over it again on the same night.
To our way of thinking, Mrs. Downs could not have hit upon a happier medium of holding the interest in her theatre, for along with the motion pictures and revue, these sketches serve to bring to the usual bill something entirely different, yet something which adds immeasurably to the bill. The sketch is a short tale of a woman who thought she had to seek exentement and entertainment away from a husband giving too much attention to his business, and yet he also had the warmest spot in his heart for the same wife.
The usual parasite injects himself into the picture, with the old blandishments that win a wife hovering on the brink of discontent, but the husband discovered her in time and became the master which she needed—one with a strong hand to show her the error of her ways. The triumph of all that is good gets as big a hand at the Lincoln Theatre as at any theatre on Broadway, and the people of Harlem seeking a change from the stereotyped form of so-called entertainment will find it at the New Lincoln Theatre.
"Meek Mose" at the Lafayette Theatre
WE are more than ever convinced that with a good break "Meek Moso" now appearing at the Lafayette Theatre in what are practically midnight performances, would have carried a great appeal to audiences at this house.
Much has been said and much has been written about this show from the pen of Frank Wilson, and there is hardly anything else we can say at this time. Even when appearing at the Princess Theatre, "Meek Moso" did not have the break of which it is worthy, and that is the doughbags necessary to have been unleashed in behalf of an advertising campaign, which was absolutely necessary in this case.
For once our good friend, and we mean it when we say our good friend, as the future will disclose when we come to write about it. Frank Schiffman fell down in allowing his otherwise keen mind to allow this great mistake to come at this time. We hasten, however, to say now that perhaps there are extenating circumstances in the matter of the presentation of the show.
Under ordinary circumstances it is our firm belief that a revue could have been arranged to hold the hearses until nine o'clock, with "Meek Moso" going on shortly after, but as it is now the show opened to an almost empty house on Monday night. We care not about the circumstances which brought this show to the Lafayette, for it is the proof conclusive that our efforts in behalf of something on a higher plane sandwiched in if nothing else is receiving a hearing at the hands of local theatre owners.
Both dramatic and musical comedy performers must live, and they can both live while appearing at the same time and incidentally bringing us a surcause from too much of the lower form. Mrs. Downs has shown the way. Others can do the same without losing and at the same time making an appreciable contribution to our hopes and aspirations. It is not always that a contribution of money to a charitable cause should and what managers feel can be considered their share to us here, but in some hearty response in an attempt to raise us from the slough of deep despond.

The second annual 'South Sea Isle' Ball will be held at the Savoy Ballroom on Friday night, March 23.
The Savoy has been transformed by one of New York's foymment interior decorators to a tropical isle of mystic charm where patrons may revel in a glittering array of splendor.
At midnight promptly a grand costume parade will be put on, and many famous stage celebrities, it is said, have signified their intention of appearing.
Charles Buchanan, Savoy's managing director, says at about 11 P.M. a fantastic revue of South Sea rooms, a place on the ballroom floor stage, and a place so many varieties of new attraction and entertainment will take place that it is hardly possible to describe them all fully.

THE CRITICAL CRITIC
(By Andy Razaf)
| aoldom see a decent show,
ve never been upon the stage,
But there la nothing | don’t know
‘About the theatre, I'm a sage,
All rhetorto Is Greek to me,
1 never wrote a single song,
I know no rules of harmony,
But all the tunes | hear are wrong,
To mo, tho world ts out of jolnt,
1 am the amactest of all bleds;
| baffle them on every point
With fancy phrases ana big words.
I never tell them “how” or “why,”
I'm only here to knock, you see,
A critic of all things am},
Without a single remedy.
Quite lucky Is the magazine
tn which my wisdom Is released;
For since I've stepped upon the acene,
Its circulation has Increased.

TO THE DEFENSE, -
(By Romeo L, Dougherty)
He's seen a gang of decent shows
Upon a wholesome stage:
Why must he strut upon the boards
To prove that he's the rage?
HW rhetoric Is Greek to you,
Why sing this late “blues” song}
Because he knows no harmony,
Far from proves he's wrong.
The only thing that’s out’ of joint
‘Are the rotten shows he pans; .
Hie fancy phrases well explain
Suggestive stuft—CAN-CANS,
Time and time agaln, dear “Raz,”
He's shown those hams the way;

ROSCOR CONKLIN SIMMONS,

just how tight were the shoes that
Mr. Simmons wore when he wrote
that article.
A Gypsy Gyped
LONDON, Eng. — Mrs. Emma Mallett's crystal sphere failed to show her five policemen approaching to raid her seance, so she paid a fine of $50 for fortune-telling.—Why, by love, her "options" were rather like those of a Harlem gypsy.
A Misnomer
A FEW evenings ago we were introduced to an elderly couple who claimed to be enjoying their first honeymoon after thirty years of married life—it beats us how they could call that a honeymoon; it would have sounded more logjam if they had called it an armistice.
A Sure Method
THE men's club of St. Martin's Chapel, 230 Lenox avenue, is now campaigning for an increased membership.—One method of enticing the boys would be an offer to make them all treasurers.
The Woman Plays
MALE members of the New York Urban League will hold their annual "500," bridge and whist tournament on the evening of March 19, at the Urban League Building, 204 West 126th street. Although not stated, it is expected that the female members will engage in a gossip or poker, or perhaps shoot some of those harmless little things, cramps.

Go to It Dean
WILLIAM PICKENS, writing from Los Angeles, says the Georgia street jail, in that city, is most human, and about as home-like as any jail could be—if that is the case, Mr. Pickens, you had better make your reservations now. If you promise not to anno in your sleep, we may even agree to bunk with you.
"Pinch" Him Sure
WHEN Mr. Orrin Evans of the Philadelphia Tribune arrives in New York we are going to have him arrested for being a "petty manslaughter." He gave us some advice in his "Light Stuff" column last week as to how to run Kate Komment. It took a Philadelphia of nerve to do that. He also advised us to save our money, stating that he would take it away in a game of poker when he comes to New York.—Perhaps Mr. Evans has not heard of our friends. The Lafayette "Cut-Throats" who are capable of dealing their victim a royal flush hand and then beat him with the aid of a razor.
"T. B." Group Frames Membership Month
The Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee held its March meeting at the offices, 202 West 530th street, Tuesday evening, March 6. Dr. Henry O. Harding, chairman, presided. Plans were made for the Maintenance Committee to meet with the chairman, Mrs. E. P. Roberts, last right. It was decided by the committee to make May "Membership Month," when a drive to secure more memberships will be launched. Those present at the committee meeting were: Dr. Harding, Dr. P. F. Anderson, Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Dr. W. J. Carter, Mrs. W. McNichols, Mrs. Adalat Thomas-Smith, Mrs. E. Parks; Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary, and Miss Gertrude Sheridan.
Talks on the importance of the early diagnosis of tuberculosis are to be given in five Harlem schools this month. They have been arranged by the Harlem Committee in connection with the campaign to get people to have yearly medical examinations in order to check up on their health.
Joint Meeting of
Harlem Organizations
A joint meeting of the American and West Indian organizations will be held at St. Mark's M. E. Church next Sunday at 3:30 p. m. The topic to be discussed will be: "Social, Civic and Economic Progress." The speakers include: The Rev. Richard M. Bolden, Dr. Charles A. Petoni, president, West Indian Committee of America; Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches of the N. A. A. C. P.; James H. Hubert, executive secretary, New York Urban League; Dr. Oma H. Price and Mrs. Adah Thomas-Smith. Miss Roberta Bosley and the Boys' Community Glee Club, and the St. Mark's Choral Club will render musical selections.
This meeting is to be held under the auspices of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem, Dr. Charles A. Butler, president; Mrs. James S. Watson, chairman of Ladies' Auxiliary; Mrs. Anna E. Brown, secretary.

Miss Leah Seabrooke, 227 West

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1928
The Independent Order of Saint Luke, from its home office in Richmond, Va., is now changing its insurance plan from a fraternal to a standard legal reserve system. Started sixty years ago, the organization now has $5,000,000 of fraternal insurance in force on the lives of 100,000 men, women and children throughout the country.
The legal reserve plan, under which all of the largest ordinary and straight life" insurance companies are forced to operate by law, has been adopted.
This plan of insurance offers an adequate life and accident protection, based on scientific rates computed on the basis of the American Experience Table of Mortality. Under this system, a trust fund is created and held in trust for the sole benefit of legal reserve members. This insures the actuary department of Saint Luke's Order against the possibility of not being able to meet and pay in full all death claims as they arise. By adopting this system, the Saint Luke organization assumes rank with a number of other fraternal institutions in the country.

Douglas Negotiating to Bring Crack American League Team Here Sunday
New Jersey Germans Fell a Victim to the Speed and Accurate Shooting of the Champs Here Last Sunday
(By FRANCIS)
Bob Douglas's Renaissance Five added another victim to their already long list when they vanquished the strong Hoboken Germans on Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino by the score of 41 to 23. We are quite accustomed to the high culture of teams that the State of New Jersey sends out from its shores, and the Germans were no exception. The Hoboken quintet proved to be a very fast and shifty bunch of cagers, but as the Renaissance specializes in this kind of playing, the visitors found that their speed was matched by even greater speed by the colored champions, and they could do but little with the famous defense team of Mayers and Jonkins.
From the start of the game the Renaissance went into the lead, and never relinquished it to the end. The Renaissance guards refused to allow the Germans to penetrate and score any baskets, and the best they could do was to muster nine points in the first half, even though Fruend, the center of the visitors, was outjumping Saunders. The Renaissance collected twenty points in this half by making seven field goals and six fouls.

Takes Issue With Correspondent's Account of Elks-Renaissance Boston Game
Romeo L. Dougherty, Sporting Editor of the Amster-
In the second half the Renaissance came back with twenty-one more points, while the Hoboken quintet did a little better than their first half score by securing fourteen points. In graft, the fast and shifty guard of the Germans, led his team with eight points, while "Fat" Jenkins was the high scorer of the evening with twelve points. During the closing chapter of the game Capt. Slocum was just congratulating himself on having a night off, when Manager Douglas unwrapped him and Hill and sent him to the Sunsiders. The captain showed his appreciation by caging two baskets for his share of the evening's work. It was announced that negotiations were being made to bring Johnny Beckman and his Chicago Bears as the guests of the Renaissance next Sunday night. Beckman will be remembered as the former captain of the world championship team. He in the cog cog the machine of the Chicago Bears, one of the strong teams of the western section in the American Basketball League.
If the management is successful in booking his team, the fans will also see some game next Sunday. The preliminary game last Sunday night the Pirates scuttled the tip of the St. Cyprian Speed Boys the score of 32 to 22 in a well-ayed game. The night the Metro-Diamonds will line up against the Meteors in the curtain raiser to the big game.

"For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for biliousness and constipation," says Mr. J. O. Woolard of Oriental, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it.
"I have found that Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it.
"I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that.
"My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

I have been in basketball for over 20 years, as player and manager, and this is the first time I have ever written a line of protest. I have always found sport writers to be honest in their convictions even when our opinions differed.
However, in the March 7th issue of your paper the account of the defeat of the Renaissance by the Philadelphia Giants seemed to me a bit unfair. I am not looking for an alibi, but I do present the implication of unapossmillarlike playing on the part of my men when your writer accused them of unnecessary roughness. Since your paper makes this accusation I think the decent thing is to give me a chance to reply.
This is the first time that the Renaissance has ever been accused of rough playing. Sport writers such as Ed Sullivan of the New York Graphic, Ed Hughes, formerly of the Telegram and now with the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Monahan of the World, Zelkner of the Mirror and Fitzpatrick of the Journal, have written time and again that the Renaissance is one of the clearest playing professional teams in the game.
Every man on the team is a veteran. Their technique is so perfect that they do not have to foul either in offence or defence. They depend on speed, skill and teamwork to win. A certain amount of bodily contact is inevitable in a hard game, and it is sometimes hard to see which team is responsible for the roughness. My men take care of themselves but they stay absolutely within the rules. As to the game in Boston, the Philadelphia Giants were responsible for the unnecessary roughness, not the Renaissance. We don't play the game that way and never have. As a matter of fact before the game was five minutes old our star forward, Cappy Rioks, was hurt unnecessarily and had to be taken out.
Incidentally, the Renalasance does not CLAIM to be World's Colored Champions. They ARE the champions because they have defeated in home and home series every recognized colored basketball team in the country. They are ready to meet challengers anywhere under suitable conditions, and this-goes for the Philadelphia Glants.
Renaissance Basketball Team, World's Colored Champions.
Editor's Note—We gladly reproduce the above letter from the manager of the popular Renalance-News, like the majority of leading publications in Our fair city, must depend upon its correspondents for what takes place in the various cities. We are not in a position to know what would prompt our Boston correspondent, who has been reporting from Massachusetts for this paper for some time, to send in an unfair account of the Renalance-Eiks contest; but we gladly give space to Mr. Douglas' letter in an attempt to be fair to all hands.
STEINKE THROWS SIKI
Hans Stelnke settled his long hansge with Reginald Sikl, the Senegalese, in the semi-final bout at the Grove last Tuesday night. Hans procured a crott hold in 35 minutes of a scheduled one-hour match and dumped the lanky wrestler with little effort. Stelnke had a 34-pound edge on his adversary, Sikl weighing 204 pounds.
Stelnke's greatest effort was spent trying to catch the lanky Reggie. At times the Sonogona clamped a kid of his own on Hans and the latter seemed to be in trouble. When he got out of Sikl's grip Hans stalked his rival about the ring ready to spring at the slightest opening. The crott hold was Stelnke's big victory, the use of it, picking Sikl up bodily and depositing him on the resin.

Caesar started on in whirlwind fashion in the opening round and pounded Schumacher hard with his left. nl the second session, the Philadelphia fighter forced the issue while Pete slowed down considerably. In the third, Caesar was himself again and outpointed Schumacher easily.
Mike Cross of Philadelphia was the victor over Nat Portoy, unattached, on a technical knockout in the second round of a lively skirting game, which came after two minutes and 58 seconds in the second session when Gross forced Portoy to call quits after the latter had taken severe punishment. There was quite a bit of booing in the crowd, between the intercity 115-ound light between Rogers of Philadelphia and Sam Blandino of the Newsboys' Club when the judges voted 2 to 1 in favor of the latter. Rogers was the aggressor from the start. Blandino, although landed more often than Philadelphia, was the main reason why the judgesave the New Yorker a shade at the conclusion.

COLLEGE QUINT CLOSES SEASON
Southern College Players Enjoy One of the Most Successful Seasons
ATLANTA, GA.—With the exhibition game Saturday against the Congregational Flashers, the Morehouse basketball team brought to a close a very successful season. The team has played twenty games, winning fourteen and losing six, meeting the best collegiate teams of the country, with the exception of Morgan Colby, who had a strength of these two teams may be gleaned from the comparative score against Virginia Seminary In games played at Lynchburg. Playing under all the handicaps catalogued and broadcasted by Morgan College, the Morehouse team was defeated by Virginia Seminary in a hectic battle over four nights before Morgan was defeated by the same team, 2412.
The Morehouse Quintet made a remarkable record on its eastern trip and delighted spectators everywhere with the brilliance of their passing attack and the technique of their five-men defence; showing a type of shifting personnel that one Eastern writer called the Shifting Sands. Starting the season with Captain Dobbs, and now with his son's sound and later joined by A. Brown and Nelson Archer, varsity men of 1927, and L. Traylor of 1928 varsity, the team, with the addition of new blood, quickly rounded up into form and won eight straight games. Then with Captain Dobbs out of the game on account of sickness and Traylor, with a sprained arm, the reserves played wonderful ball, losing two games by a six-point victory and southern champions, and a two-point margin game to Morris Brown University, twice conquerors this season of Clark University.
The prospect for a championship team next season is very bright, as every member on the squad will be back next year, with a year's experience and outstanding players for the season were Sapp and Crawford, guards. Their ability is attested by the fact that only on four occasions during the year have opposing teams been able to score on less points, including shots from the free throw line, kickoff and goal line. Johnson and A. Brown did yeoman work during the season, and, with the experience gained this year, should prove Tartars to any team in the country next year. The work of Captain Dobbs and L. Traylor was handcapped by sleekness and in-depth understanding of their uniforms for the season so far as inter-collegiate competition is concerned and are giving their attention to baseball and track.
St. Jude Defeat Tattlers
A fast, furious and interesting game between the Tattlers and St. Jude took place Wednesday night in the luter's gymnasium, where the team teamed up, but whoever conches them seemed to have eliminated any system of defense in their otherwise very good playing, and this was their downfall. St. Judes showed a well rounded game and deserved to win. This team has always been a hard quintet for any combination to defeat.
Thelma Mouton and Cella Cook,
for the victors, were the shining
lights in a host of brilliant perform-
ments to choose from. Midrel Perkins,
who is a former star of the
Celeretas team in Baltimore, gave a
remarkable exhibition of floor work

and Helen Steele were in there
fighting every minute. Freida Reimann

Sam Taylor a Victim Of Bloom Last Tuesday
Solly Bloom, clever Clark House 128-pounder, made an impressive snowing by outpuncting same Taylor of the Salem-Crescent Club in the final of that class at the semi-monthly amateur boxing show of St. Lucy's Catholic Club in the final. Bloom floored his opponent in the last few seconds of the bout, but the bell sounded before Referee "Kid" Sullivan could count ten. Bloom encountered trouble against William Muzlak, Lenox Hill A. C. in the preliminary of the 18-pound game, the last game gave the Clark House boy a slight edge over his adversary. Jimmy Rondinell of St. Lucy's C. C. scored two one-round knockouts. Rondinell disposed of Danny Mandell, representing Becker's Gym, with a hard right to the jaw two minutes after the opening song. The final Jimmy floored Acle Domino in one minute and 20 seconds.
Joe Thornton of the Lenox Hill A. C. spent a peaceful evening. In the preliminary of the 130-pound class Joe knocked out Tom Cropsey in an easy fashion. His opponent for the final, Manscallo, failed to appear because of a serious cut over the eye.
SEKYRA AND HALL TO CLASH
Moore and Tiernan Also on Olympia Card Tonight,
Joe Sekrya, latest of the lightweight stars to gain prominence in local statistic, put in a strenuous day of training yesterday for his ten round battle with Roscoe Hall, which is to be one of the star ten-round bouts at the Olympia A.C. in Harlem on Tuesday night, the records of the show will go toward the championship and undefeated Knuckleboro Lodge No. 510. Knights of Pythias, of which Herman Holof is Chancellor Commander. Sekrya, who is matched to meet Leo Lomski in Madison Square Garden on the night of October 30, was told by Jess McMahon, matchmaker for the Garden, that he would have to defeat Hall or lose the game with Lomski. Hall puts the crusher on you" McMahon said to Sekrya, "I'll substitute him in your place against Lomski."
Jimmy Kenny, the welterweight who sprang a sensation by knocking out Barney Shaw, the National Guard champion, in four rounds a week or so ago, has asked for a bout on the card. Eddie Tierman, an amateur champion, has asked for a bout on the card. Kenny, but matched to meet Jimmy Moore in one of the other ten-round bouts, Jackie Miller and Al Settle make up the third ten-round contest. If permission can be obtained from the Boxing Commission to stage an extra bout, Kenny will be put on in a return bout with Shaw. In sea, sea, the heavyweight whose punch is more powerful or heavyweights to cover, also is clamoring for a place on the card. There will be a total of forty rounds of boxing.
EDWARDS GOING TO CANADA SOON
Phil Edwards dropped in on Monday night to inform the sporting editor that the case of messies with which he has been suffering is a matter of the past and he is ready to again face the stakes in the best he can on the underpath. Edwards will leave the city on Monday morning for Canada, where he will appear in a big meet at Hamilton. Von Elling coach at New York University, will establish precedent when he leaves the city with the colored flyer, this being the first time in his career that he has seen fit to leave the country with an individual runner to look after him. In the meet in which Edwards will appear Lloyd Hahn will also be a competitor, but Hahn will run in the mile while Edwards will run in the six hundred and quarter. The colored boy will leave the Dominion but one with the Canadian Olympic team, the games will most likely go on to England, where he will enter one of the universities to continue his law studies.
Crack Brooklyn Team Out Front at Start and Stayed There
Carlton Y. M. D. broke even with the Bordentown quintet by detaining them in their return game on March 10 to the tune of 42 to 26.
Before a crowded house of very enthusiastic spectators, the Brooklyn team, remembering their quarterback and their defense by one lone point, put their host into the game from the start. The Y. M. D. followers have never witnessed such speed, accurate shooting and passing. The Bordentown team proved very threatening during the quarterback shift, pass and score, but Carlton was just a little bit faster, thus managing to keep the Jerseyites trailing. The first half ended Carlton 23, Bordentown 11.
Alfonso Neale, who has been a big factor in all of Bordentown's victories, forced the team to answer of injury. The spectators expressed regret because of Neale's wonderful assistance in team play, besides being a sharp shooter.
The second half was filled with thrills. Russ, Bordenton's pivot man, created quite a sensation by making many attempts to break through Carlton's defense, and dropping them in from the middle of the floor. Russ scored 12 points. Although fighting a losing battle, the Bordenton team did not let up until the final. Russ and his team communicated up their wonderful spirit of sportsmanship throughout the entire game.

Concord Baptist 5 Leaders
The Concord Baptist colored basketball five, undefeated leaders of Class B of the unified division of the Brooklyn Sunday School League, last week registered to eleven of the week redeemed to win a basketball Redeemer quintet, 54 to 14. The Concord flashes jumped into a lead at the start and at the close of the first half led by 22 to 4. Thompson of Concord played a supersize two-game besides getting away for five baskets and two fouls. The score:
Rosenberg Scores Easy
Win Over Scott
Charles "Phil" Rosenberg, Harlem's former world's bantamweight champion, returned to the fasts wain with a vengeance before a capacity crowd at the Olympia A. C. last night, winning the final six round decision from Harry Scott, colored Atlantic City battler, after a tough up-hill climb. Rosenberg showed the effects of his year's abscence from the ring in the first round, when Scott landed at will, making Charley a target for a left hook. Rosenberg had great difficulty trying to land his right. The round was Scott's by a wide margin.
The Hartemite fought Scott on even terms in the second round, the first having served somewhat as one to oil his muscles. Thine, from the third round on, Rosenberg, will accustomed to the task before him, pummeled and pounded Scott freely landing heavily time and again, and winning all the rounds from the third through the six, and taking the decision. Rosenberg looked a bit heavy, at 133½. Scott weighed half a pound more.
The semi-final six rounder was a speedy affair, with Tommy Simms, colored Hartemite, winning the decision from Tommy Cooke, Bridgeport lightweight who replaced Whitty Shortway. Simms played the part of the aggressor throughout. At 139, Simms outweighed Cooke by one pound.
Eddie Reilly, Jerry Pelton's Yorkville featherweight, scored another impressive triumph when he stopped Sammy Childs, colored Harlemite. In the third round of the scheduled six, Reilly floored Childs for a three count in the first round, and proceeded to give Sammy such a drubbing that Retoree Arthur Donovan halted the affair. Reilly weighed 129, Childs, 130.
In the first of the six rounders, Jack "Tiger" Baton, colored Harlemite, won from Joe Salmio, Brooklyn, after some fair milling. Bates weighed 143, Salmio, 1464. Low Feldman, 121, Brownville, outpointed Benny Martini, 1231, Fordham, in a fast opening four. Charley Dingoe and Joe Hartman judged.

Lew Furber, who holds the most populous amateur bantamweight champion in the world, picked Max Dickman of the Half Moon Jars in just 55 seconds of the second round in a special bout at Columbus Council K. of C., amateur show last Friday night.

Keeping Fit
By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D.
A CAMPAIGN sponsored by the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association and the North Harlem Medical Society is now under way to impress upon the Negroes of this community the necessity of care, thought and watchfulness of their health.
Each individual is a specific unit in this matter of physical and mental equipment. The law to insure good health is "Know Thyself." Introspection and inspection as to how you feel and how you act and how you behave are necessary if one desires to keep well. Just living a life directed by one's appetites, likes and dislikes is bound to get you into trouble, mental, physical or judicial. There must be a check sometime to the constant and unruly impulses that make us do and dare.

THE choice of a trousseau depends on circumstances and what will be the future position of the young matron. If she is to live in the country or a small town, she will need less than if she is to live in a large city where her husband's position will require her to meet many social obligations. In every case there must be a variety of necessities; in some cases there may be a reason of economy. An important point to consider is what amount a bride's parents, or she from her own resources, can reasonably afford for the trousseau.
A physical examination once a year is a check against such physical and mental over-activity and deterioration. Without this examination, the cannot determine the status of his or her body. The heart, the kidneys, the lungs, the blood pressure, the purity of the blood, all these and more should be thoroughly examined from time to time in order that you may know your individual ability to pursue the activities of every-day life. How much activity can your system stand? Should you run, trot or stand still? Chronic degenerative diseases are becoming more prevalent every day. The health span of infancy, adolescence and early adult life has increased, but middle life, in these latter days, is showing a decrease in the health of the older age. After the age of 38 death is chiefly caused by the breaking down or wearing out of the vital organs. Heart disease, apoplexy, paralysis, kidney disease and cancer are the

The trouseman, which originated among the Roumanians, was at first a little bundle of accessories for the bride which her parents gave her just before the wedding. But as time passed and the custom became so general, the little bundle grew to become a treasury to luxuries. Even in instances where the parents failed to furnish the bride-elect with the supply, she herself competed the chest by her own efforts. However, it is understood that the trouseman proper should be furnished by the parents, or a fear relative of her own family, in that it should not be accepted, with propriety or dignity from others. It is natural for a girl to wish for a bridal gown, and there is nothing more charming than a bride in all the bravery of her wedding attire. It would be folly for her to go to the expense of a costly gown if there be no use in the future and if she has not the courage of other things in her trouseman.
The rapid changes in fashion make it advisable to purchase only the dresses needed for a season. With the bridal gown, a trailing dress, one or two even dresses, one or two day-time dresses, a half dozen house or bouncing dresses, a bride should be able to make, a peacreasure for the first short season of her marriage. The Twentieth Century girl, however, limits not the number of dresses, regardless of her future circumstances or her shortage of other accessories. "A dress a day makes happy and gay," as the saying goes.
It is not the fashion now to buy dozens of underthings and put them away, as formerly. One dozen or half a dozen of each kind of undergarment would be a supply for a bride of moderate circumstances.
Even though the outlay cannot be certain a certain amount of house linen should be a part of every bride's possessions. Sheets and pillow cases with plain hems or with hemstitching may be purchased. Towels with finished hems are very serviceable. Fringed towels are usually in better quality. Of table linen there should be several tablecloths, cloths, napkins, large and small, and few dolls, lists suggested are subject always to amelioration.
It is usual for a bride to have her clothing, linen and silver marked with the initials or monogram of her maiden name.

enemies of middle life and old age. These we call the degenerative diseases. In the year 1827, the ages of 30 and 60, there were about 350,000 deaths in the United States due to these diseases of a degenerative nature. Most of these deaths were premature. They could have been may years by an early postponed may years and then by the proper and appropriate care and treatment. To prolong life, everyday existence must be regulated to one's physical equipment. This regulation of life can only be made by your physician through a careful examination of the functioning of the vital organs. Civilization now insists that the cows be inspected, the city's water tested, the food inspected, tested and its skin regulated. Why then your physician inspected its physiological functions unknown and its work unregulated? If you want to be safe, "Know Thyself."

When Smiling Hurts
SHE made a mistake when she was seventen. She is now married to a man who knew her past when he married her.
She is a good little wife and mother, striving hard to forget and make her husband forget her past. But he delights in throwing it at her. It so convenient for him. He can hide his own dirt behind it. He can make her submissive and wretched.
The whole thing in a nutshell is that SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR HIM!
He wasn't any saint before he married, and I certainly wouldn't wager anything on his being one now.
Dear Egysy Ann:
I hope that you can help me with my problems as you have helped others. I have been married two years and have a darling baby boy seven months old. I love my husband dearly and I believe he loves me, as he is good to both baby and myself.
We have a three-room apartment which I try to make as somelike as possible. I never nag my husband or quarrel. In short, I appreciate everything he has done for us and I try to make him happy.
The trouble is this: Before we were married and I was 17 years of age I was ruined by a man of about 40. It was the old story of an inexperienced girl trusting a man of the world, and a scoundrel at that.
Now, Egypsey Ann, my husband knows I was ruined. He know it when he married me. He said: Let the past be dead." Now, at my age he did not face my mistake. He says I was a fallen woman when he married me. I don't know what to do. I wish I was dead.
I am a good mother to his child.

"Christianity and Islam"
Writer Accounts for Absence of Color Line in Europe
GENEVA, Switzerland. UNDER which religion has the Negro been more kindly treated, Christianity or Mohammedanism? This is the interesting question that has been discussed at some length by J. A. Rogers in the current number of The Review of Nations, published in this city. Under the title, "The Negro's Experience of Christianity and Islam," Rogers begins by pointing out that Negro slavery in its earliest stage was frankly a money-making business and that the slave trader, made no effort to conceal this. But, as the evils of the system grew and the more humane people of Europe and America began to protest in the name of Christ, the slave traders, in order to save their business, were forced to reply in kind and declared that in bringing the Negroes from Africa they were saving not only their bodies but their souls.
Christ, they said, had commanded that "the gospel should be preached to every creature" and, by taking these Negroes to a Christian land, where Christian knowledge could be best imparted, the slave traders asserted they were obeying the divine command in all its fullness. Their arguments, thus religiously garbed, were irresistible. Slavery in the name of Christ took a firm hold and
"The slave ship went from coast to coast, Fanned by the wings of the Holy Ghost."
The writer further points out that, since the majority of the Negroes came from the West Coast of Africa, some as late as 1860, and that long prior to that time this region was, and is, a great Mohammeden stronghold, many of the Negroes brought to America must undoubtedly have belonged to that faith. Had these Negroes remained in Africa, their dominance would now be beholden, instead of Christians. Has, therefore, the contention of the slave-holders regarding the superiority of a Christian environment been proved?
In weighting Christianity and the Negro, Rogers begins by saying that care should be taken to distinguish between the attitude of the Christian church prior to the discovery of the New World and after. Northern Africa, the most populous is Negro, was the trade stringoid of Christianity in its earliest stages. Many of the earliest fathers of the church, such as St. a good wife to him. The only thing that mars my happiness is he is constantly bringing up my mistakes.

MRS. A. L.
Dear Mrs. A. L:
Now you just stop wishing you were dead or you'll wear yourself away to a frazzle and have sickness to worry about, too.
The best thing for you to do is to teign indifference. Let your husband talk all over himself. Even though it hurts and hurts, just let him accuse on until he gets good and tired. Play with him and get head. Play with housework and when he all finished you might say: "Pardon me, dear Saint, but did you say something?" I am afraid, you appear too anxious to please him. Pay him less attention and he'll begin to set up and take notice.
As long as he sees he can make you his little slave by bringing up you to do so. But if he sees you don't give a pickle whether he raves or not, he'll get tired. Wishing you luck.

I live in the Bronx and my friend lives in Brooklyn, but I think that he ought to see me more often. I'm awfully lonely when he doesn't come to see me. And to top that, he doesn't want me to go out with other boys. Please advise me.
HELEN.
Dear Helen:
If he couldn't take up enough ambition and strength to come to see me more than twice a month, and then had the nerve to tell me not to go with other boys, I'd tell him that he'd make a mistake—I am not the type to take that kind of nonsense.
He's just keeping you on the phone while he's gauding about with son Brooklyn manna, in my opinion.
Go about with other boys. What

— REVIEW OF J. A. ROGERS' ARTICLE
Augustine, Tertullian, Origen and St. Cyprian, the great standard-bearers of Christianity, came from this region and were, in all probability, of Negro ancestry. St. Augustine was a Numidian, the land from which came the phrase, "black as a Numidian." Simon the Cyreenan was also an African and was depicted in the earliest prints as a Negro. Even Christ and St. Cyprian were depicted as black in the Virginis is represented in certain regions of southern Europe today.
Further, there was St. Maurice, one of the most renowned narratives of the Christian church, who is today the celestial saint of parts of Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy. "In short, early Christianity knew no color. Iino, The Christian—whether Teuton, Roman, Moor, or Ethiopian—was welcomed as a brother in Christ. It is true that the early Christians practice slavery, but they made no difference to color or race in the matter."
"And," he continues, "the absence of a color line continued through the centuries, and when Negroes were again introduced as slaves in Europe, in the middle of the fifteenth century, the policy toward them remained the same. Although Negro slavery lasted in southern Europe for 331 years (1442-1713), 35 years longer than the United States, there is no one in record of a color line, but the most cordial feelings seemed to have prevailed.
The most Christian part America, the writer says, is most barbarous—the South States. It is from this region which Mencken calls "the black belt," that most of the lynchings and human burnings occur, and also peonage thrives and families are sold into slavery, instances which occurred in 1927. Yet, is from this region that came "the black belt" against "the American" or "the Christian" of the Treaty? Leasure with Turkey, on ground that Turkey persecuted the Armenian Christians.
Recent race riots, massacres and lynchings have been mentioned with the information that 1927, when the White House session, which opens "each day a session with prayer in the name of Christ," persistently evades the thing to correct this, though President Coolidge, some of his predecessors, as well as the Negroes and their friends have urged this.
The barbarity of Anglo-American Christianity South Africa also discussed, as well as status of the Negro in the Christian countries or the World.
Speaking now of Islam, writer says, in part:
"Islam has never known a line, for reasons that go to the point where Islam has been ranked, perhaps, next to hammed in the affections of Muslim world is this: Ibn Hasan, a Negro, who has a black and a black-haired, and almost complete, race, and almost complete, race.
Auraria, the chronicleer, tells how the Negroes were taught trades, adopted by families, and even "married to the women" of the country. Mention is also made of the distinguished painters, poets, authors, generals, philosophers and divines of this period who won fame, not on the strength of color, but on merit, and noted anthropologist, said he had a library filled with their works. When one, however, turns to the New World, he sees a different picture. Here the Negro was brutalized from the start, particularly in Anglo-Saxon lands, where the Bible was used as an instrument for tightening his chains. "The slave-holders, again using the Bible as an authority, pointed out that St. Paul advised the slaves of his time not to change their condition if they could, and that he had caused Onesimus, a runaway slave, to be returned to his master. Many of the churchmen held slaves and while simple provision was made for teaching them Christianity, laws were passed making it a crime to teach them to read the Bible itself."
The growth of the Negro church is then traced from the time that Richard Allen, founder of the A. M. E. Church, was driven out of a white church, until the present time, when there are over 45,000 Negro churches, with a membership of 4,800,000. Today Negroes are welcome in few white churches, and in these the sight of a Negro is rare. "since he feels that there must be present those white persons to whom he is not welcome. Color that perished over Christ in making a division on complete that: the two 'maces' might well belong to hostile religions."
the sense of crying over some one 'who doesn't give a tinker dam whether you're lonely or not? Stop being a little fool is the advice of EGYPSY ANN.
Your Horoscope
By THEARCHER
Yesterday's Horoscope.
March 13 promises some gain to those who travel as salesmen, and to those who buy and sell. These people will not gain rapid promotion or financial security in this birthday, but they can build for the future, or put some of those old forgotten ideas and plans into effect.
"Not self but others" should be the motto for all the people in this group. The gain will be bigger and more lasting.
March 14 begins a birthday that will bring success to its natives, but not in employment. Those who follow professional and legal pursuits will gain honor and success. The year will be romantic, although the opposite sex is likely to cause some expense. Extremes in conduct and judgment, extravagance, and carelessness around machinery and motors should all be guarded against. Those who buy and sell are also favored.
Many eventful and sudden changes mark the birthday for the natives of March 15. Money matters will cause much worry. The business world will bring some mental upsets to many of today's people. Those who work with machinery or motors should guard against accidents.
The birthyear for March 16 shows some promotion in the employment and business. The benefits gained will be moderately large. Some slightly peculiar association with the opposite sex is likely. March 17 starts a birthyear that favors the natives who follow artistic and literary pursuits and the lawyers of this date who
The most Christian part of America, the writer says, is the most barbarous—the Southern States. It is from this region, which Mencken calls the "bible Belt," that most of the lynchings and human burnings occur. Here and above thrivers and families are colored with the facades of which occurred in 1827. Yet, it is from this region that came the strongest protest against America's ratification of the Treaty of Lausanne with Turkey, on the ground that Turkey persecutes the Armenian Christians.
Recent race riots, massacres and lynchings have been mentioned with the information that Conrad A. McCarthy opens each session with player in the name of Christ, persistently evades doing anything to correct this, although President Coolidge and some of his predecessors, as well as the Negroes and their friends, have urged this.
The barbarity of Anglo-Saxon Christianity in South Africa is also discussed, as well as the status of the Negro in the other Christian countries of the New World.
Speaking now of Islam, the writer says, in part: "Islam has never known a color line, for reasons that go deep. Ranking, perhaps, next to Mohammed in the affections of the Moslem world is Bihal Ibn Rahab, a Negro, and Mohammed tutor, ago, treasurer, adviser, convert. Mohammed thought, so much of Bihal that he granted him presedence in heaven.
"Another and more important factor contributing to the absence of color prejudice is that Islam rose to power in a region where, from time immemorial, many of the ulcers were what are known as Negroes in our day, as many of the warriors of the double crown of Egypt and the tides of Black and White had been meeting and mating as equals along both shores of the Mediterranean thousands of years before the coming of Mohammed...
"From the moment a Negro becomes a convert to Islam there is nothing to prevent his attaining the highest privileges, social and political, to which a white Moslem may attain. Not only were Negroes made governors of provinces under the Muslim Emirate of Angola. Pearl of Oud and yield obedience to my successor, though he may be a Negro slave, said Mohammed, on the approach of death.
"While the Bible sanctions the enslavement of Christians, the Koran (Moslem Bible) expressly forbids the holding of the faithful in bondage. As to churches, there is not a single Jim-Crow mosque in all Islam, the Negro entering freely into all the white man. Late Mahlah saw a poor Negro knot beside in the mosque he said to him. In this place we are all one."
Contrast this with the attitude of the white Baptist minister in the southern part of the United States. (The incident is that of a white minister who drove a Negro minister, as white as himself, out of the former's church.) Authorities are here quoted,
cater chiefly to women will gain unusual success, especially in divorce cases. Patience and careful effort will do much to bring success.
The 15th of March promises a successful year to those who can avoid quarrels and disputes and apply patience and careful effort to all their plans. All these people will be inclined to impulse, haste and irritation, and these things will spoil the birthyear unless restrained. Scientists and surgeons of this date will gain honor and preferment.
The vibrations on March 19 favor those who follow artistic business and pursuits. The dressmaker, the hairdresser, the modiste, the artist, the pianist, the dancer, and the beauty are bound to succeed. News of sickness and death is indicated. Romance will fill the year, and yet there will be some phases of friendship that will not be understood. The infant born today will gain fame as an artist, if it is allowed to follow its rules. If it is allowed to follow musical pianist. Much loss of time and character could be avoided if parents would try to learn what vocation a child is best fitted by birth to follow. Those who gain success should save the money, for the next birthday will be altogether different. March 20 brings a favorable weather, and yet Saturn imposes delays, obstacles, and restrictions that will try anyone's patience. Those who are concerned with real estate and property should always use the best judgment in buying, selling and signing contracts. The people are Arts Ram. March 3-4 is the Arts Ram. More powerful and energetic characteristic to the people of today. The people born between November 1 and 8 will find this week a bit disturbing for health, comfort and romantic affairs.

Tells of Rights Given Negroes Converted to Islam
one from a French governor-general in West Africa, to show the absence of color prejudice among white Moslems in Africa, and then a contrast is made with parts of Africa, mostly under Anglo Saxon Christian rule, "Whereas the offspring of a white Muslimoman and a Negro woman, born in Africa, are often enjoyed the same privileges, social political, as a white child born in wollock in Christian Africa, the mulatto child is despised by both white and black," the writer says, "Today, of some sixty million or so African Negroes believing in the doctrine of one God, less than two millions are Christians. After nineteen centuries of missionary effort, the majority of African people are a small number of Europeans there." "The case of Islam is simple. As was said, it imposes no peculiar hardships on account of color: no handicaps in the pursuit of happiness." "Christ said, 'I insulted as ye have done it to the least of these, my breture, ye have done it unto Me.' If this ought to be the criterion of Christian conduct, then it must be said that it is a non-Christian religion living most fully up to where the black man is concerned."
The sale of intoxicants in Africa; prohibition by Moslems; polygamy among the Mohammedans and its equivalent, concubination among the Christians, are discussed, as well as the taking of the Negro by Christian nations to fight their battles in Europe and elsewhere. Efforts of the Christian nations to end slavery are also discussed in the book that Christianity was the great scourge of Africa, taking away some fifty millions of her people and scattering death and desolation, making it a Dark Continent—precisely what would happen to Europe today were some powerful race to invade it and do the same.
The record, he says, has been a gory one. For instance, between 1700 and 1786 the Negroes transplanted to the island of Jamaica numbered 610,000, yet in 1820 the number on the island of Jamaica was 40,000 of the eight million or no Negroes transplanted to the United States over a period of 441 years (1850-1891), less than four million rounded to be freed in 1851. Just what slavery meant can best be understood by recalling that, in 1910, forty-five years after emancipation, the Negro population had more than doubled itself by natural increase.
By terms, Christianity and Islam, the writer makes clear that Christians are those who believe in the Christian Bible, a fenced whore on one's praise, the healer on one's religion. The belief in their way, applies to the Mohammedans.

GEORGE E. HAYNES, Ph.D.
Secretary, Commission on the Church and Race Relations,
Federal Council of Churches
IN HIS article on the fine arts exhibit at International House last January, sponsored by the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, published in The Amsterdam News recently, Mr. Fred Gardner, vice-president of the Society of Independent Artists, undertook to advise Negro artists about a non-jury exhibition. This is a good sequel to the cordial invitation of his Society to Negro artists following our fine arts exhibit at International House. Mr. Gardner, however, has missed the purpose of the first national effort to secure merited recognition for Negro artists and is much in error on other facts about music, literature and art produced by Negroes.
Miss Idle Curiosity Gossip Makes Beautiful Corpse
In the first place, the exhibit of fluo arts at International House was by no means a showing of "Negro art." It was an exhibition of fine arts produced by Negro men and women as evidence of their ability to create beauty of universal value. It was not "Negro art" but universal art. He says that what the exhibit "seemed to lack was the emotional element resulting from the irresistible inborn impulse to create that in Negro's other forms of expression."
One wonders what Mr. Gardner saw at the exhibition. Surgent Johnson's head of a Negro boy, "Sammmy," which was the unmammous choice of the judges for the prize, received the approbation of hundreds who visited the exhibition because of its expression of "irresistible, emotional element" of the fluo arts. The lines of this excellent piece broke away from the conventional standards, yet reached beyond the racial restriction of form and color into those universal values of beauty which give joy forever.
The words of surprise and pleasure from many art lovers about the work of Aaron Douglas, Palmer Hayden, three or four pictures of Laura Wheeler Waring, Malvin Gray Johnson and others gave emotional elements born of irresistible impulses.
Mr. Gardner is wrong in implying that "standardized formulae" determined the works admitted. What Mr. Gardner seems to expect is that American Negroes should produce something that has not been woven from their American experience and environment. He cites the Negro spirituals and poetry by Negroes as examples of the circumstances which enable Negroes to create. Negro spirituals are not Negro music; values that appeal to music lovers everywhere. The poetry written by Negroes is not "Negro poetry." Dunbar's "When Malldun Sings" and James Weldon Johnson's "God's Trombones" are universal poetry woven out of American Negro life and experience. When Mr. Gardner says that Phyllis Wheatley knew nothing of the technique of verse, one smiles and turns to her poetry and the record of her life and education; then one thinks of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Charles W. Chesnut, Joseph Cotter—father and son, James Weldon Johnson and scores, created universal literary values out of the innermost feelings and impulses of Negro life. They did not do it. However, by being ignorant of the technique of verse and literary composition, in fact, those who have succeeded best in creating literary values out of Negro material have been masters of literary technique.
Mr. Gardner seems to be labor-

Urban League Offers Government Co-operation
The National Urban League of New York has made public a communication which it sent to James J. Davies, Secretary of Labor, Washington, D.C., following the United States Senate directing an investigation of unemployment. The letter offers the cooperation of the League through its industrial Relations Department, of which T. Arnold Hill is director, and the branch services conducted in forty cities. Reported conditions of unemployment throughout the country, so the letter states, indicates "the great need for the services due to the dismissal of entire departments or entire Negro sundaws."
ing under a common misapprehension about the peculiar talents of the Negro, and seems to be expecting that they are spontaneous gifts of God and need no guidance for development, and that Negroes avoid education and the standard of life of the white people of beauty and truth in order to have spontaneously in original creation. In the next place, Mr. Gardner does not seem to seek the problem involved in securing recognition for the vast amount of unrecognized talent undoubtedly possessed by many Negroes; numbers of whom are in obscure and out-of-the-way places could come out of the problem the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on the Church and Race Relations are trying to solve in sponsoring this annual exhibition each January. The white world has heretofore failed to recognize Negro artists because prejudiced minds held the belief that no universal artistic skill could come out of Ethiopia. The problem of bringing this recognition involves power of keen discrimination between creative and original work that shows promise of artistic values and that which does not. Of course, there are those who adhere to such conventional, inelastic "standardized formulae" that they discourage new and unnatural forms of art, of those they "inhibit impulses."
There is, however, decline. Reference between such critics and liberal-minded, sympathetic people who know considerable about the past and the present of the fine arts, and who are thus able to encourage young artists who give promise of original creations of artistic value.
The first annual exhibition, held this year, at the International House, attempts to create greater public recognition for Negro artists to stimulate such artists to great effort and to encourage the public to buy their creations as a means of getting better economic foundations for them. A similar exhibition will be given at International House, January, 1929.
Mr. Gardner expresses hope for an exhibition where not only Negroes who are following art as a profession may exhibit, but which also have an avocation or lines of work as a means of livelihood and paint, model, carve, etc. as an avocation. Such an opportunity was given at the International House Exhibition. It will be repeated next January.
In fact, with the exception of three or four art students and two or three others, all of the forty Negro artists exhibiting at International House were earning their livelihood in other lines and pursuing their art as an avocation, as a handdrawn, largely because of color, that few of them are able to be "following art as a profession."
ousy and a general feeling of inferiority.
Wednesday morning the chapel hour was given over to the funeral services. The president of the Y. W. C. A. presided. Four pallbearers bore the "body" in while the bell tollled slowly. One mourner only, the deaf, dumb and blind mother of Miss Gossip, heavily veiled, bibbed and dressed in avenua Müller stuart that Miss Gossip had died of heart trouble, tuberculosis and cancer, all contracted while attending to someone else business. However, following the noble ideal of saying something good of everyone, Miss Müller concluded: "She makes a gorgeous corpse."
The funeral sermon, highly inspiring, was preached by "Dr. Dorothy Strother, an orator of no mean Resolutions and (tolerance of) compassionate offer which faculty and student body, to the funeral' strains of "Onward, Christian, Soldiers," did past the casket and on to the grave.
Here, after a few remarks by "Dr. Strother, the god was thrown forever over Miss Gossip by Grave-diggers Furlonge and Shepard. Under the spreading branches of one of Bonnette's chapels, one close to chapel and Y. W. C. A. bulliont housed, little Curiosity Gossip lies buried—deep.

That beautiful, even shadow of dark glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face.
When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture. You can get a famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, for only 75 cents, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depend upon to bring back the natural color and justre of your hair.
Everybody uses 'Wythe's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly.

A FACT
With $250 You Could Have Bought a Lot Valued Now At $100,000
The man who cannot see an opportunity is like the man who couldn't see the forest because a tree was in his line of vision.
But-there are men who know enough to step a little to one side, the great forest then stands revealed in all its grandeur.
Middle-aged men of today were young when it was possible to purchase a lot "at his own price and terms" for as little as $250 in Harlem. These same lots are now valued at $100,000 a lot. And Harlem is only in its cradle days.
Step aside a little and look beyond the tree that is obscuring your sight of the Forest of Opportunities just beyond---in Harlem.
Come to our offices and we will explain to you the wealth of opportunities there is in owning your own apartment home in

Job Hunting
Investigator Tells His Experiences With Fake Advertisers and Misleading Signs at Employment Agencies
By WILLIAM SMITH
EXCEPT something tangible is done in the way of relieving the unemployment problem, and done pretty quick, I am afraid that the crime wave may be appalling within the next six months or so. I believe that for every three persons employed there are two unemployed.
Trying to figure it out, I decided on a few days' vacation to get some actual experience. Accordingly, one morning I was up at 5 o'clock, bought a World and went to an address in answer to an ad for a porter in a tea-room in Brooklyn. To my surprise, I found that the address was a vacant lot and that there were about forty men standing around apparently waiting for the erection of a building and the installation of the falsely advertised tea-room.
Realizing the uselessness of hanging around, I hastened back to the city to answer another ad calling for a colored man, intelligent and willing to work. This pleasing man played well, and by $ o'clock, when I got there, the hallway and sidewalk took on the appearance of a Lindbergh reception.
I decided to wait, however, and at 9 o'clock an owl-like bombast came up and announced that not one applicant came near meeting him. I was told that we clear the hall immediately. His conception of an intelligent and willing worker must have been an imitation of his own good self, which was a horrid recommendation for a firm or an individual.
In speaking with the elevator manager, I told that this was a periodical habit, although he never needed any help; hardly needed himself it seemed.
With the morning still young, I taxed to East Ninth street in response to an ad which read as follows: "Jantor, experienced, two apartment houses, two rooms and wages."
A kindly-looking lady picked me out of eighteen colored and nine white men.
"Now," she said, "all you have to do is to keep the halls clean, make the fire, run errands and help the two rooms downstairs are yours and your hours of work are from 7 in the morning to 8 at nights, including Sundays to 6 at night."
"What about my pay?" I inquired.
"Oh, I forgot that!" (and sometimes they really do). They either run off to some unknown place or they have no change). "Yes, your pay will be $25 per month your thank you." I said, "but I thought slavery was abolished," and I left.
The next day I proceeded as follows: Called on two employment agencies between Forty-ninth and Fifthth streets on Sixth avenue, had a ride for mute help. Inquiring, I found that forty-four positions were worthless and the other three had just been taken. I asked the first agent why he didn't remove the signs since there were no positions. His reply may help to put down "When our signs are up," he informed me, "we manage to hang on pretty well in business whether there is work or not, for people keep coming." It had to conclude the sentence that he could have said: "And leave their money here and never get it back; nor do we trouble ourselves to get them any position."
Down the line from Fiftieth to Thirty-fifth streets I counted 375 people reading signs that positively meant nothing. Of course, I made the downtown section my field for experience, but the reliability prevailed, but that's a mistake and it's only due to thoughtlessness of people who can ill afford to sacrifice their money on the altar of hope that these agents and their establishments manage to operate.
Lynching Threat Stops Extradition
Extraction of WIL Brown, known as "Cornbread," from Columbus, O. to Missouri, where it was feared he would be lynched on charge of a murder committed 14 years ago, has been defeated by Attorney W. S. Lyman, with the cooperation of the Columbus branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Committee, composed of Attorneys B. F. Hughes, A. J. Worsham, L. A. Runson and I. D. Ross, began an investigation as soon as the arrest of Brown was reported. Immediately after his arrest there were numerous reports in circulation in the City of Columbus to the effect that citizens of New Madrid, Mo., would lynch Brown as soon as he was returned to Missouri," says a report from Columbus to the N. A. Office. It was reported that the Dicey, Lodge and the K. K. of New Madrid had rushed a sum of money estimated at $1,000 to bring brown back to Missouri.

Queer Doings in 19th A. D.
FOUR YEARS ago politics in the Nineteenth and Twenty-first assembly districts began to look peculiar. The next year it looked suspicious. This year it has reached the stage of downright accusation. It is openly charged that Abraham Grenthal, white Republican candidate for the assembly, and Hugh Masterson, white Democratic candidate for Alderman, made a deal in the last campaign to shut out George E. Hall and Fred R. Moore, Democratic and Republican Negro candidates for the offices mentioned; that Grenthal's Republicans were ordered to vote for Masterson, and Masterson's Democrats to vote for Grenthal. Grenthal is charged with admitting that orders were given to his election captains to cut Moore's vote. It is further charged that a Negro was put to work in the Sixth election district for Grenthal and Masterson and against Moore.
THESE OPEN CHARGES, after the mutterings of the past four years, point to queer doings. Over a year ago this paper called attention to the fact that Grenthal had been elected to the assembly for the third consecutive time, while the Negroes on the same ticket had been defeated each time. Pope, McGruder and Paige met the same fate. It has been hard to convince the public that these men received the hearty support of Grenthal, who was the district leader as well as the candidate. This paper then pointed out that one of two things was necessary, if Negroes of Harlem were to elect their candidates. One was to nominate and support independent Negro candidates; the other was to have Negroes on both the Republican and the Democratic tickets for the same office. The second of these suggestions has since been followed successfully.
THE AMSTERDAM NEWS has always fought for Negro leadership in Negro districts. It fought and is still fighting single-handedly for an all-Negro personnel for the Fifteenth Regiment, and for the advancement of Negro doctors in Harlem Hospital; it is still fighting for Negro employees in the stores of this neighborhood, who subsist largely on Negro patronage.
OUT OF THE WELTER of throatcutting and back-stabbing in the Nineteenth and Twenty-first districts one clear fact emerges: if the Negroes are to have their own leaders and their due representation, they must bring to bear their full political strength, both in elections and in party councils. They must raise their registration figures from the present ridiculous figure of 30,000 to the normal strength of 75,000. They must make their vote a force to be reckoned with, not a toy to be played with.
EDITORIAL PAGE
Retain Rent Laws
FOR EIGHT YEARS the rent-paying population of New York has been protected by emergency rent laws, which have kept the landlords from overcharging the tenants. Now the State Housing Board reports that the housing emergency has passed and the emergency laws should be discarded. The various tenant associations, however, urge that these laws be extended for at least another year.
THE HOUSING BOARD'S report that there are 83,000 vacant apartments in New York City may be true, but the question is, how many of these apartments are within the reach of the poor man's pocketbook? It reminds us of Queen Marie-Antoinette, when she was told that the peasants were dying for lack of bread; she asked: "Why don't they eat cake?" It should be remembered that at least two-thirds of the population of this city are unable to pay the high rents of those 83,000 vacant apartments.
IT IS TRUE that there are a few more vacant flats for poor people than there were in 1920, but not enough more to warrant the lifting of the emergency laws. Even with those laws in force the rents are as high as the people can bear, and they become proportionately heavier as more and more people are thrown out of work. With unemployment grave and still increasing, it is a bad time to open the way for higher rents.
DOUBTLESS some landlords have suffered, though not so much as they would have us believe. They bought property at inflated values, hoping for inflated rents, and the unforeseen emergency laws tripped them up. But it is better for three thousand speculators to suffer inconvenience than for three million poor people to suffer disaster.
Villard's Rebuke
OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD'S rebuke to Southern race prejudice last week was to be expected. The people of Baltimore were to give a dinner celebrating Mr. Villard's tenth year as editor of The Nation. They chose the Southern Hotel, which promptly gave notice that no Negroes would be admitted. Mr. Villard then told the committee that he would not attend the dinner if Negroes were excluded. The committee decided to hold the dinner at the Arundel Club and admit Negroes.
IT MAY BE WELL to reinform the public as to just who Oswald Garrison Villard is. Both sides of his parentage were liberal. His father, Henry Villard, left Alsace to seek liberty in America. His mother's father was William Lloyd Garrison, the great Abolitionist, whose name should be canonized by Negroes. William Lloyd Garrison was thrown into jail in that same Baltimore because he agitated against slavery and proclaimed that Negroes were white men's equals. His grandson for years was owner and editor of The Evening Post and a staunch defender of the Negro. He is now editor of The Nation, the leading liberal journal of this country. He is also vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Mr. Villard's attitude toward the Baltimore dinner is in full accord with his ancestry and his own record. Like his illustrious grandfather, he stands four-square, undaunted by the winds of prejudice and unseduced by the wiles of Southern hospitality.
The Negro Collegians
THE last issue of The Amsterdam News comments gravely upon a remark of Dean Lucy Slowe of Howard University to the effect that Negro college men and women, especially of the present generation, have shown to date very little interest in matters pertaining to the race and to public affairs. The editorial goes on to contrast the former with the present generation of collegians, with reference to their altruistic devotion, to the discredit of the new issue. Although the plain facts in the case require analysis, they are too obvious to elicit argument.
Some two years ago I delivered the annual address before one of the college fraternities in general session at Howard University. I took the liberty to deviate from the expected platitudes of such occasions, and stressed the lamentable failure of the present-day collegians to appreciate the requirements of race leadership and direction. The address caused wide comment and commotion throughout the Negro college world.
The Negro college world today is in a most serious predicament. Our higher institutions are keeping school and marking time. The zeal and incentive of the earlier day has departed. Rendall of Lincoln, Gravath of Fisk, Tucker of Shaw, Ware of Atlanta, Howard of Howard, came down from the North with the love of God and man in their hearts. Here was a new race to be Christianized, civilized and redeemed. They felt that they were sent from God to this vineyard, already white unto the harvest. Appeal never met with a more spontaneous and enthusiastic response. Their enthusiasm for humanity leaped across the color line, pupil responded to pupil as displease to master, as younger brother to elder brother.
Every Negro boy and girl who felt the urgency of spirit rushed into the newly established school and college with the joy and expectancy of the Greek youth who felt impelled "to make a great journey to Athens." There they expected to find learning and light. The newly awakened Negro youth caught a full measure of the spirit of their preceptors. The Grimkes of Lincoln, Gregory and Simmons of Howard, George Moore and wife of Fisk, Wright and Crogan of Atlanta, Booker Washington of Hampton had no other aim but racial uplift and reclamation. Even the interlinking generation caught a double measure of their spirit. Procter and DuBois, James Weldon Johnson and Walter White, J. C. Price and Bishop Caldwell, Major Moten and Bishop Gregg, fall little whit behind their elders in their racial zeal and ardor.
But nothing lasts forever. The northern missionaries have passed from labor to reward. The MUSIC
Claymes Recital
The song recital by Raymond Claymes, rendered Sunday afternoon at the Grace Congregational Church, had among its distinctions the interpretation of "Deborah," by Handel, and a most pleasing rendition of Yradier's "La Paloma."
In this presentation Mr. Claymes was afforded the opportunity to repeat the scores with which he made his debut to a Harlem audience some time ago; and again to display the fine texture of his voice and his substantial mastery of traditions.
Because he was not so nervous and was a better master of the situation, his introductory numbers on this occasion appeared considerably improved over those in his debut, Mr. Claymes can therefore be fairly judged by his recital Sunday afternoon.
His voice, at its best (which, perhaps, was exemplified in the rendering of "Doborah" and "Deep River"), holds forth promise of considerable enhancement to its capacity in the future. The upper tones are not yet well mastered and on several occasions made greater demands of sonority and tessitura than the singer was able to cope with successfully. The interpretation on a whole, however, was much improved as regards intonation, management of varied phrasing and intelligent handling of detail.
As a singer, Mr. Claymes is surprisingly warm and possesses the virtue of not exaggerating. This is commendable. Although we cannot rank him in the same gallery with Harry Burleigh, Paul Robeson and Julius Bledsoe, yet, we must say in fairness that he is a bartone far above par.
—DeA.
Gerald Wilson, pianist, was beard in the Saturday students' recital at the Institute of Musical Art, Frank Damrosch, director, 120 Claremont avenue. He played Brahms "intermezzo, Opus 76," and "impromptu Rhinhold in A Flat." Mr. Wilson, who has studied there for two years, came to New York from Hampton Institute.
By KELLY MILLER spirit which impelled them has all but died with the generation which produced it. The founders of these schools and colleges can never be duplicated. Even these same individuals, if now alive, could not function today as they did in their time. The spirit of the age has changed. The Negro can no longer derive incentive and zeal for racial weal from this higher source. A new source and new incentive must be sought. It has not yet been found. The present-day Negro collegian can gain only such idealism as he finds in his environment. It is not his fault, merely his misfortune. The Negro colleges have been greatly en-

A Negro freshman now may think he knows more than the senior did a generation ago, and may be justified in the thinking. But here, as elsewhere, the letter killeth, the spirit makeeth a life.
Love for God, love for country and love for race were the dominant stimuli in the older generation of collegians; these are greatly and generally wanting in the rising generation. I must not allow myself to indulge in wholesale condemnation. Every generation has its quota who refuse to bow to Baal, Modocale Johnson, George E. Haynes, Nannie Burroughs, Lucy Slowe and Gilbert Jones are college products of the present century who yield the first place to none in racial consecration and devotion. There are also a number of younger men, fresh from college, who are willing to place their gifts upon the altar. I am speaking of the dominant tendency and spirit. The present generation is unfortunate in that it comes into affairs at a time of great transition of social ideals. The change must needs come, but woe he to that

Period From 1900 to 1925 Moving Day for 2,100,000
ATLANTA, Ga., March 12.—From 1900 to 1925 there was a shift of 2,100,000 Negroes from the country to the cities, more than doubling the urban Negro population, according to an exhaustive study of Negro life and conditions just completed by the Institute of Social and Religious Research. Made under the direction of Dr. T. J. Woofter Jr. of the University of North Carolina, this study covers sixteen typical American cities, North and South, and is the first scientific investigation of Negro conditions ever made on anything like a national scale.
The report of the investigation has just been issued in a book, entitled "Negro Problems in Cities," which treats of the city-ward drift of Negro population and the resulting problems of friction, congestion, segregation, exploitation, schools, recreation, and delinquency.
generation in which it cometh. We are now in the midst of shifting our religious conception from the doctrine of Moses to the doctrine of Darwin. The scientific spirit is rife. Higher criticism weakens the older foundation of faith; modern jeopardizes ancient belief. This unfortunate generation, which must sustain such radical transformations, will all but lose its sanction over conduct. In the next generation or so the newer idealism will doubtless have become so soundly established as to meet the requirements of the coming time. But in the meantime the existing generation must bear the brunt of transition.
The Negro race is doubly unfortunate. Before the race has had time to become rooted and grounded in the doctrinal basis of the old belief, its very foundation is shaken by critical scrutiny. While the race is forming itself into family relations under sanction of religion and law, the integrity of the family is being destroyed by pressing industrial and economic demands and lowered ethical standards. At a time when the Negro should be gaining an intimate understanding of the deeper meaning of patriotism, the Constitution is being made into a scrap of paper, and his rights ruthlessly overridden.
The one dominant aim of our day and time is the accumulation of wealth and the riot in the pleasures and luxuries thereof. The race has not yet been able to secure the requisite quantum of wealth to meet the requirements of a well ordered decent living. We are thus plunged into the midst of the abuse of wealth before learning to make the normal and proper use of it. But the Negro has neither starting point nor destination. The function of the college is to furnish the youth with a compass to guide his way. But a compass is wholly fintile without a point of departure and a fixed objective. The Negro lacks both.
What the Negro collegian needs today is a fixed ideal which is sufficiently clear and well formulated as to seem to be easily realizable. Take any class of Negro college men and women and ask them collectively or individually what is their philosophy of life or what is their chief aim and ambition. The answer would be a maze of doubt, uncertainty and indefitness. Let me propose this question as a test of my meaning: "What is the chief aim of life, Mr. Young Collegian? Is it to serve God, country, race or self?" The response, if genuine, would probably be in reverse order of the above arrangement.
Until our colleges themselves can find an ideal for these young collegians upon which the board of governors, faculty, alumni and sustaining public unite and agree, it is too much to expect these young people to find the right objective by their unaided effort. I might go further and say that it is not specifically incumbent upon the college to formulate and proclaim the racial ideal; it is the responsibility of united race statesmanship and patriotism.

Contrary to the general impression, the report reveals that a little more than half the 2,100,000 Negro migrants stopped in Southern cities, though the percentage of gain was very much heavier North than South. In consequence of this rapid shift, overcrowding and congestion in Negro districts were found to be very general. In New York City, for example, Negro population showed a density of 336 per acre, as against twenty in Winston-Salem, in eleven tenement houses in Philadelphia 175 families were found living in 354 rooms.
Along with this crowding has gone an abnormally high death rate, particularly from tuberculosis, pneumonia and the diseases of infants. Reuts, it was found, were very much higher North than South, with a weekly average of $7.18 per dwelling in the North, as against $3.74 in the South. Lynchburg showed the minimum of 60 cents a room per week and Gary the maximum of $1.78.
In the case of 747 families living in Harlem, New York, it was found that rents took more than 23 per cent of the total family income.
The investigators discovered a general lack of public recreational facilities in Negro neighborhoods, and, in consequence, a high rate of juvenile delinquency. The conditions of commercialized rec
The Negro in the World's Literature
A YOUNG minstrel who exhibited remarkable genius and who died in the midst of his popularity, was Laviaux, Leon Laviaux, the celebrated poet, was born in the beautiful island of Martinique, French West Indies, in 1888. He was the son of Paul Gauguin, the famous painter, and Laure Laviaux, a beautiful quadroon. The young poet while swimming in the harbor of Martinique, was drowned April 7, 1915.
Before Laviaux's death he was hated by his countrymen as their leading poet. And one writer called him "the Victor Hugo of Martinique." They should have compared him to Gauntier or Swinburne for refinness of his style and the culture of his language. His lyre was always attuned to beauty and pathos. I know not where to search in the history of Martinique for such freshness of composition, loftiness of thought and simplicity of style, except in the two thin yet artistic volumes of Loon Laviaux.
Seldom is he harsh; his subject is always well chosen, while his lines are well measured. His poems are remarkable for their beauty, their splendid tone of tropical coloring, and their affluence of illustration.
With a great mind for description, and a heart attuned to nature's loveliness, he poured over his theme all the treasures of a richly stored faculty. He excels in the delineation of natural description and amatory pieces. Lavaux had an eye for color; his ear was open for all cries of nature. He felt the hush of noon and the silence of midnight. That which came to his mind and which he felt deeply he expressed with rare felicity and power. The natural beauty of his beloved Martinique finds appropriate expression in his poems. A soul that was born of nature, a poet that was of love—such was this young minstrel.
Those who have read his verses must have felt what the poet experienced. He wrote what he saw and felt. And chiefly that love which he saw and knew. He is seldom witty. In fact, I have never known him to be humorous. Though solemn, he is not "overserious" or artificial. But you had better read him below in his exquisite little poem, "Night, Would That I";
You will agree with me that this poem is beautiful. His music is spontaneous and pellucid as running water. In all the history of literature there is nothing re-

"School funds are not adequate to meet the needs, either North or South," says the report.
"Where there are separate Negro schools they, are usually a secondary, consideration, with fewer seats in proportion than the white schools, more pupils per teacher, more double sessions, poorer salaries, fewer and smaller playgrounds, less adequate provisions for the health and comfort of pupils, and few, if any, extras, such as libraries, gymnasiums, etc."
One of the encouraging signs revealed by the survey is the tendency among Negroes toward home ownership. In every city studied, except New Orleans, the number of Negro home owners had increased materially, and in Northern cities quite rapidly. In most cases the slum sections have remained relatively constant in population, while the population of the home-owning sections has been increasing.

The poem has charm. And the natural beauty of his country lends it additional beauty. There is a tone of deep feeling perving it, which touches the youthful heart, and takes possession of every sensibility. The delicacy the pathos, the subdued and punished, yet the intense passion of love, were all calculated to soil on the kindred spirit of youth. There is a graceful fineness of diction, a rich and deep harmony that are the fitting vehicle of the poem.
He published shortly before he untimely death two small yet excellent books. They are "The Ebon Muse" (1908), and "Poem in Black" (1914). He had a brief career as a minstrel, but a wild personality as a man. His mercy and pretensions have already placed him and will maintain him with posterity in a position far above those who have engage themselves with the petty strife of party and the contentions of power.
His puerile genius and his talents will shed a lustre over the age in which he wrote when he more fortunate competitors are forgotten. And we feel pleased that he has left something, the products of a genius, to rank with the best literature of any race. We are prouder still to note that his best comes to us from a young heart. His untimely death is mourned.
Mary Burrill's "Aftermath," drama of Nogro life in the South was produced last Monday night at the Triangle Theatre by a organized group of the Krigw Players.
In the cast were: Marlon King Helen McIntosh, Margaret Foster Selgell Bell, James Brown and Charles Burroughs. Sara Brown was the understudy for Marlene King; Rosina Taylor for Hele McIntosh.
Miss Angelone Littlefield Lawson, contralto in the chorus of "Show Bont" and understudy to Aunt Jemima, white, who traps the role of "Queenie" in the cast, had to play the part for several days beginning with the Thursday, March 3, matinee.
Will H. Vodery is director of the jubilee chorus in the show.
