PATROLMEN SEGREGATED AT BREMEN FLYERS' RECEPTION CHICAGO MAY ELECT NEGRO CONGRESSMAN "RAW DEAL" GIVEN 16th PRECINCT MEN
REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
Was Opposed for Renomination by Three Negro Candidates Made Splendid Record in Favoring Legislation Favorable to Negroes
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30 (PNS)—Following the sudden and unexpected death of Congressman Martin B. Madden, Republican, who has represented what is now known as the "Black Belt" of Chicago in Congress for the past twenty-three years, conjectures became rife throughout the Capital as to the possibility of Congress having a Negro member again.
The last Negro to sit in the House of Representatives was Congressman George H. White of North Carolina in 1896. Mr. White's record in Congress was a splendid one. During the years following the war between the states several Negroes were members of Congress. North Carolina sent up the largest number. Mississippi sent two members to the United States Senate. The Chicago district represented by Madden is almost totally populated by Negroes, having representatives in the Illinois State Legislature, and in the city council and other municipal offices. At the recent primary election two Negroes were elected delegates to the Republican National Convention. In that primary Madden was opposed by three Negro candidates for nomination, his closest opponent being Attorney William J. Dawson.

whom he defeated by less than 12,000 votes.
There is a strong sentiment favoring the selection of Attorney Edward H. Wright, one of the most influential politicians in Chicago, for the place. Dawson is still a strong contender. Civil Service Commissioner A. J. Carey, a bishop of the A. M. E. Church, is also being mentioned for the place.
The Negroes of the country are not unmindful of the splendid work the late Congressman Madden did in their behalf. He was never too busy to go to the front for the cause of the Negro and it is said that on numerous occasions he incurred the eternal enmity and wrath of southern members of the House in his caustic debates in defense of the rights of the Negro.
Convicted Forger May Get Life Term
McKinley Long, formerly of 2424 Seventh avenue, was convicted of forgery in the second degree by a jury before Judge Donellan in Part III of General Sessions Court Friday morning.
Long's record shows that he has served two prison sentences at Atlanta Penitentiary for tampering with United States mall and one for a previous conviction on forgery. Therefore, it is probable that he will be sent to States Prison for life when he is sentenced in Part IV on May 10, as this is his fourth felonious conviction.
Long was represented by Atty. Louis A. Lavelle, 200 West 135th street.

"Showboat" Chorus Girl Arraigned in Court
Mister Advertiser
Miss Dorothy Bellas, 75 St. Nicholas place, who stated she was a chorus girl in the "Showbowl," was summoned before Magistrate Goodman in Harlem Court on a charge of unlawfully withholding property.
Miss Bellas was summoned on complaint of H. A. Solomon, 1804 Madison avenue, where he conducts a ladies' apparel store. He told the Magistrate that Miss Bellas had purchased apparel valued at $100 from him and that she refuses to either pay him or return the property. The magistrate dismissed the summons, advising Solomon to sue in the Civil Court.
Do you know the average Net Paid Circulation of the newspaper you depend upon to increase your business?
Is the newspaper you use as an advertising medium willing to prove to you, beyond word of mouth, that its circulation figures are honest?
The Average Net Paid Weekly Circulation of The Amsterdam News for March, 1928, was 28,834. (The average will be even higher for April without any increase in the advertising rate.) The average Press Run Weekly was 30,375.
Shot Woman; Took Her to Hospital
The difference between the Net Paid and the Press Run—an average of 1,541 copies weekly represents copies on our complimentary list, which are mailed weekly to schools, colleges, and other institutions, correspondents and press bureaus, advertisers and advertising agents, and the few copies returned unsold, mostly good circulation, but circulation which we do not feel that you should have to pay for as an advertiser.
Man Contends He Fired Only to Frighten Her; Held
Engaged because she is alleged to have given her attentions to another man. Willie Whitfield, 37, 107 143th street, is charged by the police with having shot Mrs. Harriet Briant, 28, of the same address, during an altercation in their home Monday.
Do you pay only for Net Paid Circulation?
The Amsterdam News stands willing and ready to prove its claim as to the largest circulation of any newspaper published in New York City. In fact, The Amsterdam News circulates more copies weekly in Greater New York than all other weekly newspapers combined.
According to the police, Whitfield accused Mrs. Briant of giving her attentions to another man. The quarrel was resumed Monday morning, when Whitfield drew a revolver and fired two shots at Mrs. Briant. Both shots took effect, striking Mrs. Briant in the right thigh and the left knee.
As Mrs. Briant fell to the floor, Whitfield, realizing what he had done, picked up Mrs. Briant and carried her to the street. He hailed a taxi cab and drove to Harlem Hospital.
During the trip to the hospital, Whitfield, the police say, pleaded with Mrs. Briant to forgive him. He told her he loved her and didn't intend to injure her.
Her condition is not serious, it was said at the hospital.
Detective Martin Coogan of the West 135th street station reached the hospital a few minutes later and he arrested Whitfield on a charge of felonious assault. He was held without ball for a further hearing when arraigned later before Magistrate Well in Washington Heights Court.
Court Reverses Ebimber Decision
Doctor, However, Must Post $2,500 Bond Pending Alimony Decision
Dr. Milton T. Ebimber, 30 Edgecombe avenue, who was recently accused of bigamy and later sued for an absolute divorce by Valentina A. Charles. 250 West 128th street, has been granted a motion filed by his attorney, John B. Thorno. 101 West 135th street, which sought to set aside a recent decision by Mr. Justice Ford awarding his alleged wife $25 per week alimony and $250 counsel fee.
In reversing his own decision last Tuesday, Mr. Justice Ford ruled that Dr. Ebimber must furnish a bond of $2,500 within ten days after notice of entry of the order is made so as to guarantee the payment of any allmony and counsel fee which may be awarded Mrs. Charles in the future.
Failure by the defendant to comply with the above order would automatically reinstate the Supreme Court decision for allmony and counsel fee granted to Mrs. Charles on April 2. It would not mean, however, that the allmony and counsel fee may be collected.
Mrs. Charles' lawyer is Lennile L. George, 200 West 135th street.
"KID" DIXIE HELD AS MURDERER OF UNKNOWN WOMAN
Allege Confession Made to Police Credits Him With Statement That He Beat Her—Went Voluntarily to Cellar Wtih Eight Others
Following the finding of an unidentified body of a white woman, her face battered and swollen, in the hallway of 223 West Eighteenth street about 8 o'clock last Wednesday morning. Elmo Johnson, a prize fighter known as Kid Dixie, 131 West 129th street, was arrested by the police for questioning about an hour later. Blood stains were found on his clothes, the police said. Witnesses declare the woman was brutally beaten. The body was first discovered by Emma Cooper, janitress of the tenant, who notified the police. Dr. Delori was summoned from New York Hospital and he announced that the woman had been dead for about three hours. She was about 28 years old.
Complaint Against Dr. Darthard Dismissed
The paternity proceedings against Dr. C. E. Darthard, 2027 Seventh avenue, instigated by Georgia Lee Gamble, $1 West 132d street, who charged that he is the father of her five-months-old baby boy, came to an undramatic and unexpected ending Wednesday morning when the case was heard in Part 1 of Special Sessions Court.
WHAT do you get in exchange for the money you spend for advertising — Circulation figures or Honest Circulation?
Dr. Darthard admitted paternity of the baby, and through his attorneys, Cherurg and Cherurg, 120 West Forty-second street, sought and obtained a motion by the Corporation Counsel which was later granted by Judge Charles P. Caldwell to dismiss the complaint without prosecution on the ground that the plaintiff was not present. This, in spite of the fact that Miss Gamble was in the courtroom at the time.
The disposition entitles her to $4 weekly for the care of her baby.

As an advertiser you are invited to call at our office at any time and go over our circulation records. If you are not satisfied with our figures—and we are sorry to admit that figures are made to lie in the offices of our competitors—you are invited to go unannounced to our Press Room, at No. 113 Leonard street, and watch the copies as they come from the press.
See for yourself the number of copies that come from the press. See the number of copies which are wrapped and sent to nearby newsdealers, subscribers, etc. See the number of copies which go onto our trucks for distribution in Harlem, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
The Amsterdam News will be found to have the smallest advertising rate for each honest thousand of circulation of any newspaper published in Greater New York. Combine the advertising rate of all our weekly competitors and compare this with the advertising rate of The Amsterdam News and you will see the amount of money you can save by advertising in The Amsterdam News, and the amount of money you pay for circulation you don't get.

Ten men were placed under arrest and held as material witnesses. Police drew from them the admission that Johnson and Wadell Wesley. 209 West Twenty-seventh street, a friend of his, were with the woman early that morning.
National Negro Insurance Association Holds Successful Session at Columbus
Johnson was later apprehended in Jersey City. Detective Winberry said that Johnson seemed-vory willing to accompany him back to Manhattan. When they arrived here Johnson is said to have admitted the crime, signed a statement of confession and told them the following story, they say:
Harry H. Pace, President of the Northeastern Life, Elected President Twenty-eight Companies Represented
The plisoner said that he and about eight other men, including his friend Wesley, took the woman to the basement about 5 a.m. m. for immoral purposes, with her own consent. Wesley was next to the last. When Johnson's turn came the woman protested but yielded, he said. Angered at her protest he beat her with his fists and brought her prostrate body up from the basement and left it lying in the hall the confession read.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30.—Bringing their meeting to a close, after a three-day session here, by choosing Little Rock, Ark., as the place of next meeting, the National Negro Insurance Association, composed of twenty-eight Negro insurance companies, finished the most constructive session in its history. Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, was elected president of the Association.
The woman died and, up to press time, remained unidentified. Johnson will be arraigned in Homicide Court on Friday. No other arrest will be made, the police said. The ten witnesses were released.
The meeting began last Wednesday morning in the assembly room of the Colored Masonic Temple on East Long street. The afternoon session was called to order by E. H. Carry, vice-president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, who presided during the reading of the report of President J. E. Walker, who is also president of the Universal Life Insurance Company of Memphis, Tennessee.

"RAW DEAL" GIVEN 16th PRECINCT MEN BY CAPTAIN NOBLE
Patrolmen Assigned to Parade Duty Split Up According to Race and Whites Given Favorable Post Segregated Sleeping Quarters in Station House
"A raw deal" was given Negro patrolmen of the Sixteenth Precinct Monday afternoon when they were deliberately segregated at the parade for the Bremen flyers by Captain John J. Noble, skipper of the Sixteenth Precinct, it is alleged.
About 100 men, including about thirty-five Negro policemen, under the command of Captain Noble, were drawn from the West 135th street, station for duty at Madison Square, located between Fifth and Madison avenues and between Twenty-third and Twenty-sixth streets.
"Big Bertha" Still Unearthed at Fire Believed to Have Quenched Thirst of Half of Harlem's Population
"Big Bertha" Still Unearthed at Fire Believed to Have Quenched Thirst of Half of Harlem's Population
A 150-gallon liquor still, said to be the "Big Bertha" which quenched the thirst of almost one-half of Harlem's "wet" population, was discovered by the olfactory sensilliveness of Patrolman John A. Johnson of the West 135th street station Thursday afternoon during a dumbwatter fire at 129 West 134th street.
While firemen灭 the fire, the police sought wet goods in a locked basement room, where they broke in and found this still and another 25-gallon still, both in operation. There were also fifteen 50-gallon-barrels of mash.
Still following his nose, Patrolman Johnson led the way to the apartment of William Carter, third floor, rear, where the door was amashed and a 25-gallon, still in operation and two 50-gallon barrels of mash were discovered. The Carters were not "at home."
A. Toppin, the janitor, who lives on the ground floor, was arrested and questioned. He denied all knowledge of the stills and said that caring for ten other apartments kept him "too busy." He was released. The Volstead paraphernalia was confiscated and the liquor and mash destroyed.
Before assigning the men to their various posts to handle the crowd Captain Noble is said to have asked one of his sergeants to call on the names of the men and to designate whether each man was colored or white. As the names were called the colored men were placed in a group to themselves.
The white policemen were stationed along Fifth avenue and on Twenty-third and Twenty-sixth streets, while the colored policemen were stationed back of the park on Madison avenue, completely out of sight of the major activities. Lott buildings and parking space occupies the territory where "Harlem's finest" were stationed.
As ex-Mayor Hylan's daughter parked her car in back of the park she asked her Negro chauffeur the meaning of the segregation. A passerby asked the same question of one of the patrolmen and was given the same answer—"Because we are black."
Horetofore it has been the practice on similar occasions to assign the policemen to their posts irrespective of their race and without segregation. The Negro patrolmen chafed under the injustice of the act and could see some of their brothers in uniform laughing up their sleeves.
Segregation is the rule in the sleeping quarters at the Sixteenth Precinct, as the colored patrolmen are overcrowded in a separate-wing of the building, while the white patrolmen have spacious quarters in another wing of the building.
Refuses to Permit Withdrawal of Complaint
Magistrate Dodge, in Harlem Court Friday, refused to permit Walter Jolly, a taxicab owner, 233 West 142d street, to withdraw his complaint against two men who had stolen his taxicab.
The two men, John O'Donnell, 33, a bricklayer of 228 East 123d street, and Godfrey Jackson, 28, a painter of 314 East 122d street, were brought back from Yonkers by Detective Minister of the East 126th street station, where they were arrested while in possession of Jolly's taxicab. The taxicab had been stolen from in front of 2074 Madison avenue, where it had been left by the chauffeur, William Bounty, who lives at the Madison avenue address. Both men were intoxicated when arrested in Yonkers.
Magistrate Dodge found that both men had police records and refused to allow Jolly to withdraw his complaint. He held O'Donnell and Jackson without bail for the Grand Jury.
CORRECTIONS
According to Mrs. Emma C. Thomas, 230 West 130th street, Justice Stevenson, arrested about a month ago on a charge of stealing mall, did not live at her residence at the time of his arrest, as he had moved from her home about a year ago.
The Colored Orphan Asylum at Riverdale-on-Hudson was not burglared, as recently stated in The Amsterdam News, according to a letter received from Dr. Muson Pitman, the superintendent.

when they climbed through an areaway window into an adjoining apartment to escape the intense heat and smoke. A woman and her son were badly burned, a young girl slight burned, and a fireman was injured by stepping on a nail. All were treated by Dr. Harvey from Harlem Hospital.
Mrs. Banta told a reporter that she discovered the fire in the elevator shaft 20 minutes after the service had closed down. After rousing as many tenants as she could reach a wild panic spread through the building and scores of people fled down the fire escapes, most of them in their night clothes. Children were crying and women were screaming.
Directly facing the elevator shaft on the seventh floor is apartment 75 occupied by Mrs. Sally Tucker, 67, her son Claude, 23, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Hannah and their daughter Arris, 11. In their extreme excitement all of them apparently forgot the fire escape exit at their front door. Clad only in their night clothes the three floor and floor and faced the hot black clouds pouring up the elevator shaft and the stairways on each side.
Thrilling Rescue
About this time Patrolman Roche of the West 155th street station arrived and sounded an alarm which brought Engines 59 and 69, and trucks 28 and 30 to the scene several minutes later.
Hannah climbed out the hall window and stood in his bare feet on a clothesline hung in the areaway. He could be seen from the street. He held on to the window sill of the adjacent apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver De Loach, who came to his aid.
Hannah told his wife to climb over on his shudders and Mr. De Jacal assisted her to safety. Then the daughter was taken across, but not before she suffered burns on the back, neck, part of the face and on the left leg. Mrs. Hannah, however, was unhurt.
Meanwhile the intense heat was searing the flesh from the bodies of Mrs. Tucker and her son, and blood began to trickle from their burns. They cried aloud in agony. Only by the greatest difficulty was Mrs. Tucker passed over into De Loach's window and was saved from death by falling by the quick action of De Loach.
"The hot smoke had peeled her chest, arms and legs." Mrs. De Loach said, "and the flesh was hanging from her body. Her face—which is very fair—was black with smoke."
Mrs. Banta on the floor below had heard the victim's cries and saw Hannah still standing on the clothesline. She brought a chair and placed it on her window sill for Hannah to stand on. Claude Tucker was then passed over into the De Loach's apartment.
He was afterward treated for burns of both hands and arms and slight burns on the face.
Mrs. Tucker lies in Harlem Hospital in a serious condition. Claude and the gtl remained at home. The fire was of unknown origin and did slight damage to the building as firemen confined the blaze to the shaft. Battalion Chief Daniel Carlock was in charge. The tenants apparently suffered no property damage.

Man's Body Taken From River; Murder Suspected
What may prove to be another buffling murder mystery for the police to solve was the finding of a decomposed body floating in the Harlem River, at the foot of 144th street, last Wednesday. The dead form was discovered by a passerby, who notified the police. The Marine Division sent a tugboat to the scene and the body was sent to the Dellavue Hospital morgue, where it was found in such a condition that it was difficult to determine if it was that of a white or colored person. An autopsy performed upon it disclosed it to be a man about 30 years old, weight 200 pounds, height 5 feet 11 inches. He wore nane shoes, black belt, black trousers and a white shirt, and was coattail. The right side of his skull was badly smashed
No money or any mark of identification was found on him, which leads the police to believe that he may have been beaten and robbed and thrown into the river. The man had been dead three months, it is said. Detective Coogan of the West 153rd street station, has been assigned to investigate.

Mr. Swinburne explained that he had learned that Rhinlander had taken up legal residence in Louisiana. He wishes to publish the complaint in two Westchester County newspapers and mail copies to the defendant.

YOUTH TAKES FLING AT RELIGION
Young People's Fellowship of St. Philip's in Three-Day Session
Addressed by Director of Greenwich Home, James Weldon Johnson, Rev. Henry P. Van Dusen and Rev. Leonard Hodgson
A keen and lively interest was manifested in the first annual conference on "Religion Among Young People," sponsored by the Young People's Fellowship of St. Philip's Church, at the parish house, 215 West 133d street, on Saturday and Sunday. The general subject was "The Christian Religion—Is it a Sufficient Dynamic for Living in the Modern Day?"

The three sessions of the conference were fairly well attended and were addressed by Mrs. Mary Simkovitch, white, for twenty-five years director of Greenwich House, who spoke on "Christianity and Social Problems"; Wielden Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose subject was "Christianity and Racial Adjustments," and the Rev. Henry P. Van Lusen, white, professor of the philosophy of religion at Union Theological Seminary, the subject of whose address was "Christianity and Current Religious Problems." At Saturday's afternoon session of the conference, which was presided over by Miss Enid F. Thorpe, president of the Fellowship, five groups were formed to discuss different phases of the subject
Ted Newcombe, white, of Union Theological Seminary, led the first group in a discussion on "Christianity and War or Peace"; James Samuel, a graduate of City College, led the second group in the discussion of "Christianity and Family Life"; Mrs. Clare Krause, white, of Community Church, led the third group on the topic of "Christianity and Industrial Relations"; Wayne White, white, of Union Theological Seminary, led the fourth group on "Christianity and the State or Politics," and Mrs. Buddy Price Russell, white, of the New York Girl Scouts, led the last group in a discussion of "Christianity and Lensure Time."
At the Sunday morning church services the congregation was addressed by the Rev. Leonard Hodgson, white, of General Theological Seminary. His message to the conference, he said, was that we should dedicate our lives to service and love of our fellowman, as Christ came to earth in human form for just that purpose.
Youth Not Supreme
Mrs. Simkhovitch stated that people today are more candid about their religious belief or non-belief than ever before, and that we must seriously decide whether or not we sincerely desire Christianity to have an influence in our social relationships. Very tow of us are real Christians, she said, but most of us are Christians in the making. "Christianity must employ our minds as well as our hearts. It involves great technique and great knowledge to change the social order. We should ask ourselves, 'Do our ideals correspond with the facts.' The speaker stated that she does not believe the entire hope of the age lies in the youth of today but, rather, with those who possess a more mature judgment, knowledge and experience. "We have too many young people who do not believe life worth living." "I do not believe in great social improvers who neglect their duties next door," said Mrs. Simkhovitch.
Negro Church Powerful
Negro Church The power of the church is the greatest and most influential among mankind in the world, said Mr. Johnson at the evening session of the conference. "But the Negro church is relatively more powerful, not because of Christianity, but because it occupies a more commanding position in the life of the Negro. "In most communities Negroes look to the church for guidance on almost every subject, whereas the white race has a great many avenues, sources and approaches to life. Therefore, the church is still a more dynamic and compelling influence in the life of the Negro than in the life of the whites. And this brings a greater responsibility upon the Negro minister than upon the white minister.
"I think the Christian religion, if not the church, is diametrically opposed to the principles of Big Business. We think of living in a democracy where the Government is run by our votes, but we know that the country is run by Big Business. Some even advocate doing away with the camouflage and letting big
Business rule the country openly,
How can the church exist in this state of affairs?
"If religion holds any value it is certainly not demonstrated in the 'go-getter' spirit of the age. Religion would have more value in this age if it sought to bring into men's hearts the realization of the mystical union of himself with the divine forces within him.
"Outside organizations can do some things better than the church. At this point the speaker was politely but firmly interrupted by the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop, rector of St. Philip's, who asked Mr. Johnson to confine his remarks to "Christianity and Race Adjustments." Mr. Johnson explained, in effect, that he was taking the longest way around to the shortest way home, and continued:
"If the church is to do anything on this question of race adjustment it must do it on a basis of spiritual conviction. I have not yet found anywhere a concentrated, correlated effort in this direction.
Church Could Kill Race
Injustice
"I have no doubt that, if the church would take a decided stand in this matter and use its own forces, it could stamp out race injustice in a very short time.
"What is needed is a spiritual awakening from the inside. I can in two hours write a plan whereby the matter of race adjustment can be materially aled by the churches—but who will carry out the plan?"
Miss Dorothy M. Hendrickson, president of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, presided at the evening session.
All Want Proof
At the closing session, presided over by the Rev. Shelton Halo Bishop, with closing remarks by his father, the Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, the gathering was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Van Dusen.
He stated that the youth of today are open-minded and are investigating the worth of the religions of times and times, but are somewhatisparing of their own.
"To the mind of every man who thinks deeply on the matter of religion there inevit comes two great questions: it is the fundamental nature of God and the universe? and is the struggle for righteousness really worth while?" As answer to these questions Mr Van Dusen cited the divinity of Christ and his supreme sacrifice for righteousness. Nearly all great spirits or great men have met and conquered the problems of good and evil in their lives, he said.
"The relative need of the world today is not more facts, but more courage and conviction in the right. Our knowledge is too far ahead of our execution and this is producing a disastrous effect. We need men and women with the courage and conviction to act upon the knowledge we have."
When a conference member asked the Rev. Mr. Van Dusen to explain the inequalities of life and birth and the gross amount of apparent injustice in the world, he replied that there is no answer, but that we must have faith in God's goodness and believe that all things are for the best. "Christianity is the triumph of an ultimate optimism over an immediate pessimism," he quoted.
The Rev. Mr. Bishop, the younger, stated at the closing that the teachings of Christ are timeless and universally applicable.
For the past four years the Young People's Fellowship has met every Sunday for the discussion of various religious opinions and beliefs by persons of various races, creeds and nationalities.

ROBS STORE WHERE
HE FORMERLY WORKED
After being caught in the act of robbing a drug store next door to the police station, Frederick Le Diel, 28. 314 West 141st street, was arrested last Wednesday night by a detective, and is said to have admitted that he was guilty of a series of robberies that had puzzled the police. The man gained entrance by using a duplicate key. The store Le Diel entered was that of Dr. Angelo Maratta, white, 128 West 100th street—next door to the West 100th street station—where he had previously been employed for two years.
IT HAPPENED in those nearly forgotten "seventies". A decision to be made as to methods—improvements that meant greater satisfaction to telephone subscribers.
And Theodore N. Vail, at that time General Manager of the infant Bell Telephone Company, wrote: ".....we want in every case to adopt the best.....Then, if there is anything better, we want to adopt that."
Far-reaching words, with a far-reaching effect. Words that definitely committed the infant industry to a policy of progress.
In the years that have passed, that policy has ever been the guiding spirit of the New York Telephone Company. Pointing the way to the most modern methods of manufacture, of maintenance, of administration—all working for the greater satisfaction of you, the subscriber.
And today, although Vail has passed on, one principle he laid down still remains, a beacon to progress, still burning with all its intensity of forty nine years ago — "...... adopt the best."

Police Assert Ex-Convict Admits Eight Recent Holdups
"The Lone Wolf" was chased and captured by the "police hounds" Thursday morning, and is said to have confessed to eight robberies since he left prison on parole on April 1. The adventurous title is the vaunted possession of Harry Osborne, 18, 118 West 133d street, who was seen running from the butcher store of Herman Simon, white, 2205 Fifth avenue, near 134th street, about 10:30 a.m. Simon's cries of "Robbery Thief!" disturbed a quiet conversation between Detective Joe Brown and Patrolman Branch of the West 135th street station, who were standing nearby and were startled into action. Patrolman Mahoney of the same station joined in the pursuit. Osborne ducked into an empty building at 3 East 124th street and ran to the roof and down through another house in East 135th street.
Patrolman Branch fired a shot in the air. Patrolman Mahoney rounded the corner of Madison avenue and 135th street, just in time to head off the fugitive. Detective Brown and the two policemen subdued Osborne and marched him back to Simon's store and thence to the East 126th street station.
Simon complained that Osborne stuck him up with a gun and riffed his cash register of $20. When arrested Osborne had a .33 calibre revolver stuck in his belt, the police say, and had $26.36 in cash.
According to the police Osborne is fond of calling himself "The Lone Wolf" because he works alone. He is said to have admitted that on Wednesday night he held up and robbed the store of Crist Nestron, white, 617 Lenox avenue, and made away with $89; that forty-eight hours earlier he held up and robbed the store of Islidore Gelsenberg, white, 2222 Fifth avenue, and took $50, and prior to that he held up and robbed the store of Sam Noroff, white, 2244 Fifth avenue, and netted himself $9.
The complainants in three other holdups which Osborne is said to have admitted performing are being sought for questioning.
Police say that Osborne has a record of three convictions against him and had just been released on parole on a three-year sentence for burglary from the penitentiary on April 5.
When arraigned before Magistrate Dodge in Harlem Court, Friday, Osborne was held without bail for the Grand Jury. Two other storekeepers, Harry Levine, 446 Lenox avenue, and Jennie Match, 468 Lenox avenue, both white, were in court and identified Osborne as the man who held them up and robbed them at the point of a gun.

Alleged Burglar Falls As Woman Screams
An alleged burglar entered the apartment of Mrs. Betty White on the fourth floor of 247 West 135th street by way of an airshaft window about 10:45 p. m., Tuesday. When Mrs. White saw the intruder she screamed—and how! The man became frightened and dived out the same airshaft window, but he lost his balance and fell to the bottom of the airshaft, suffering a fractured skull and a broken leg.
Someone telephone the West 135th street police station, which is just across the street, and Detective Boyden arrived on the scene and placed the injured man under arrest on a charge of burglary. An ambulance was called from Harlem Hospital and Dr. Danielz removed him to that institution. When he regained consciousness he gave his name as James Harris, 34, no home.
Stationary Fireman Is Accused by Two
Ernest Johnson, 21, stationary fireman in the apartment house at 894 Riverside drive, was held for a further hearing by Magistrate Goodman in Harlem Court on charges of assault and disorderly conduct.
Frank Anderson, 15, an errand boy, 62 West 162d street, was refused permission to make a delivery in the house by Johnson, he charges. They became involved in a dispute and in the scuffle that followed Johnson hit him on the arm.
Richard Hyland of Woodside, L. I., was passing the house when he saw Johnson and the Anderson boy in a scuffle. He tried to separate them when Johnson, Hyland charges, struck him on the head with an iron bar and also bit him on the right thumb.

Audubon Avenue Man Thought Revolver Had Been Unloaded
Accidentally killing himself with a bullet through the heart was the unusual fate of Alfonso Wardell, 35, 155 Audubon avenue, after taking a few drinks in celebration of finding his long lost friend, Claude Oliver, 221 West 133d street, where the shooting occurred about 4 o'clock Thursday morning. Wardell met Oliver on the street and was so overjoyed at seeing him after a great lapse of time they decided to go home and face the challenge. Wardell carried a gun and fainted that some trouble might ensue if it remained loaded he snook five cartridges from its chamber and unwittingly left one cartridge in the gun
After having a few drinks Warloll began to play with his gun and was reproved by Oliver. To prove to his friend that it was not loaded he pointed the gun at his chest and pulled the trigger. The bullet ploughed through his heart and he fell dead. Patrolman Freeman was called and Dr. Danetz was summoned from Harlem Hospital and pronounced the man dead on arrival. Detectives Garvey and Flinter of the West 135th street station investigated and reported "nothing suspicious."

Watch Tongue For Signs of Illness
Your tongue is nothing more than the upper end of your stomach and intestines. It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at a glance the condition of your digestive system—and physicians say that 90 per cent of all sicknesses start with stomach and bowel trouble.
A white or yellowish coating on your tongue is a danger signal of those digestive disorders. It tells you why the least exertion tires you out—why you have pain in the throat gas, stomach acid, etc.

Shaky Feeling
Severe Headaches
Miss Theresa M. Denning, 807 Nelson St., Knoxville, Tenn., (picture above) says: "I suffered quite a bit with weakness, and at times would have severe headaches and would have to go 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." Cavender was recommended, after the first bottle I felt better, but I wasn't willing to quit then. I took another and there was a great difference in my feeling. I do not suffer now with headache—in fact, I feel well."

To a Negro student at the school—and one who is not necessarily oversensitive on the much-talked-of "Negro problem. Negro question and Negro everything"—this 25c book is not as kind as it might have been. There are to be found some clever jokes and cartoons, and yet there are some unusually sordid jokes and cartoons in the same issue.
Harlem, to the Caucasians, is evidently a synonym for "cabaret," "night life," "bootlegging." The Medley circulates among approximately 30,000 students in all the schools that go to make up the university; some of these 30,000 are Negroes, seeking the same sort of professional information that the other students are seeking; almost all of the unskilled workers at the university are Negroes. I quote these figures merely to say that the most comfortable feeling in the world does not come over a Negro (while riding in the same elevator or sitting in the same classroom or eating at the same table in the cafeteria) when that issue is being read and discussed by other students at the university.—T.

Between three and four hundred persons were present to witness the fifteenth annual entertainment of the club, which started at 11 p.m.
"One Arabian Night," a dance fantasy from The Festival of Bagdad, by Rlmsky-Korshow, was the feature of the Arabian part of the program. Clyde Criswell directed the players, who were as follows: Humberto Peroim, the sultan; Miss Marle Mahood, the sultan's favorite; McCleary Stinett, the sultan's favorite; Marion Griffin and Harold D. Jackman, the sultan's guards; Miss Charlotte Mahood led the girls of the harem.

HOUSEWINE EXCHANGE
To Cheer Your Home,
Use Color.
In the furnishing of any new home or in the refurnishing of an old one it is no more than natural to be attracted by the gay and lovely things we see displayed on every side. Furniture that is painted some lovely color, the upholstery covering of a decoratively vivid hue, a cretonne of brilliant orange, jade colored paint for woodwork, glass curtains of yellow (colors made of gay Chinese lacquer) are some of the attractive things.
There are a number of questions you will ask yourself before making these purchases. First, how long a thing will wear? We wonder how soon we might tire of it. And we weigh most carefully whether it will be a lifetime investment and fit into some future home, if we should happen to move. After thinking seriously over the matter, we decide to stay on the safe side and continue in the dull colors and stifle our desire for unusual splendors and color.
Beautiful Things Wear, Too.
We should forbear distrusting them because they are pretty. If you want your dining room to be the loveliest room in the house; if you want it to greet you with a smile in the morning, don't hesitate when you see that little dining suite of a stunning orange or red. If you want a living-room sofa upholstered in burnt orange mohair, rejoice that you can recognize a decorative material when you see it. Start with the beauty standard, for sometimes in an overzealous effort to choose furnishings of permanent durability we defeat our aim and find ourselves saddled with dull furnishings.
Window Hangings Important.
A fadeless dull jade green velveteen or cotton velvet costs little enough for the atmosphere of some-what formal dignity it conveys and may be used over draw curtains of pale gray cretonne, printed in a design of birds and flowers. In it brilliant notes of peacock green and a

soft orange mingle with effective notes of black. A plain gray rug, china of ivory or yellow, and some especially brilliant bits of pottery complete a room that is as gay as it is charming.
Attractive Screens
A screen of peacock blue, lined on the reverse slide with another teahox paper printed in pale orange, gold and cream, will provide a rich detail of beauty. The china can be any ivory type, with colorful rustic borders, and the rug one of those new raffia squares in black, bordered and accented with bright, gay colors.
Vegetables
Lieo Them Freely.
Plenty of vegetables should certainly be in the week's menus. The early rhubarb will tempt us with its own pink (which we can preserve in cooking). If you have not tried a rhubarb Brown Betty, now is the time to put it with your list of popular desserts. Dandelion greens are at their best just now. They are young and tender. Later they will get a little bitter. They are good cooked like spinach or just wilked with hot vinegar. Try this mid-week menu. I do believe it will be enjoyed by each member of the household.

Rogers, Our European Correspondent, Waxes Enthusiastic Over Ruth Bayton
Keenest Observer of Men, Women and Events of Color to Visit Europe in a Quarter of a Century, He Tells of New Star
NAME LINKED WITH RULING MONARCH
Brilliant Writer Says Former Chorus Girl Is in the Ascendancy and Is Superior to Josephine Baker in
Josephine Baker's name was linked with that of a "count"; boulevard gossip and certain Paris and Borlin papers are doing nothing less than linking that of Miss Bayton's with a well known European monarch. But the difference is this: whoso Miss Baker was ready to have her affair made known Miss Bayton is not only not eager, but might bring suit for damages. More of this Litor, however.
Miss Bayton, who formerly played with Florence Mills in "Dixie to Broadway" and in the "Plantation Review," is at present star of the "Folles-Wagram," Paris's newest and finest music hall in the aristocratic quarter of the Etoile. The Paris journals are devoting considerable space to her, carrying her picture, and speaking of her as "the most beautiful colored woman in the world."
Visiting the Folles last night, anxious to hear the story from her own lips, we waited impatiently until near the end of the first half of the program to see Miss Bayton appear on the stage. Bit by bit the theatre presented its choice offerings, leading up with better and still better until just before the finale of the first half she came out. And what a vision of loveliness! Tall, gracefully, aye, voluptuously, built, with slim ankles, shapely, well-moulded thighs, willowy, but well developed upper body covered with just the right proportion of flesh, and with a face as beautiful to match, all of a soft brownness that makes it difficult for us to keep from waxing poetic. In any case we at once thought of what the Hur-al-Oyun, the black-eyed daughters of Paradise, must be like. If the story of that European monarch admirer were true—and we are not saying it is—one would feel that he was at least showing good taste, that he had an eye for beauty, one of the most easily forgivable of all offenses.
FOUR'
And the effect on the audience was instant. It recognized that it was seeing that which was unusual, and a strange hush fell over the theatre as she danced with languorous motion. We, writers, will sometimes dance with an audience and say just what we feel like, even though it may be considered unpleasant, even impolite. Miss Bayton dances much better than Miss Baker. Indeed Miss Baker was a very poor dancer, and we saw her perilously in an acrobat but there was a youthful, impressible agility about her, a glamour, sparkle and everlasting smile of pearly teeth combined with her shapely body that brought her more spirituelle, meditative type; she has that Creole or Oriental languor for the hearts of the susceptible sex.
car others talk about themselves,
but one not admired by news-writers. Miss Bayton has no scrap book, although she has received much press notice, and all that we could learn from her was that she would play in the Theatre Des Westens of Burlin, Germany; for three months in Madrid, and that she has been on the stage for four years, two of which she has been for herself. Yes, something else; she comes from Philadelphia. Answer: and their value the manufacture of typewriters could coase right now so far as we are concerned.
What is clear, however, is that she is the big hit of the Folles-Wagram, the entire advertising space of the magazine, at least on the day this is written, devoted to her. After six months more at the Folles-Wagram, she will go to the Casino de Paris.
Backstage she received us very well. Would she oblige us with some photo shots, if we would drop by the hotel for them. Out on the sidewalk the doorman says, "Taxi, sir!" "Well go in my car," said Miss Bayton.
Her car arrives, a luxurious sedan. Within one imagines one's self in a young Pulman palace car. It is a Hippo-piano Suiza, the best model made in Italy, slim and low if it costs a penny. One doesn't many like it on the Paris boulevards. We arrive at the hotel. It is the Ambassadors, one of the latest and most luxurious in Europe. Looking out on the Boulevard Hausmann is her suite, in which we counted she shoved, but there might have been seven. Taken by French chauffeur and two maids, not so bad for one of Aunt Igaras's daughters who has been on the stage only four years, two of wunch has been as a chorus girl. Her salary at Folles-Wagram, we understand, into which figures in francs weekly. Astonishing, but strictly exact of the above. In this palatial suite we ask her: "Do you think you could have had all this in America?" "Absolutely impossible," her reply, "I would never have been given the opportunity. I love Paris. The German people were also very kind, and so were the folks in Spain."
As to any friendship with the king in question Miss Bayton is discreetly silent and we could get nothing from her. Nevertheless, the following article, given below in part, appeared on the front page of La Rueur, leading Paris daily, on April 4: "The Adventures of a Film." "Berlin (by special correspondence), it has been rumored for some time in German motion pictures that a film prepared by a company in great secret deals with the authorities of a certain living monarch, the king in question is not named, but can easily recognize him under the mask of the principal character as a sovereign who, although not an Adonis of first youth, still is not so old at that. There is less mystery around the heroine of the film, who is supposed to be Miss Ruth, who is a knicker who has received the title of the most beautiful colored woman in the world, and who played last year pretty much the same role in the

artistic life of Berlin as Josephine Baker did in Paris.
"Not no long ago her frequent voyages into another country where sessions are strong and the men Don Monacoque were much remarked and praised on an adyil] in which a certain personage in this country very highly placed played a part. As Miss Ruth Bayton would probably never have consented to play in a film where her own affairs were concerned besides as she left her Berlin since she had likely other colored player played the role weeks ago the promoters of the film in her name.
The article goes on that some received a visit from three distinguished strangers, who were supposed to represent the monarch in the offence, which, by the rights of the monarch, which will understand, is supposed to depict a love affair between Miss Bayton and this king. A bargain was finally struck for 750,000 marks (817,500). But, continues the article: "The delegates of the foreign power learned the two and the positives of the film that had been surrendered were not the only copies of the dangerous film. Fearing the scandal the representatives did not address themselves to the police. With the aid of the police, they broke into the studio of the company away another copy. But it appears that that did not settle matters, for there was still another copy, enclosed in security in the vaults of a great bank and all ready for projection. This copy contains other documents of the real persons of the love affair, and in which one sees the king and Miss Bayton strolling in the garden of the royal palace.
"It is said that Miss Bayton, who is now in Paris, intends to take legal steps against the owners of the film in case it is shown. Her objections, in which she is quite different, those of the monarch in question, in her case the person who is said to represent her, though beautiful, does not rank with Miss Bayton in beauty."
The Paris Midi, another leading day, in its issue of April 12, speaks previews of "a Royal Lover and a Black Dancer." "What Miss Bayton Has to Say About it."
"It is an extraordinary story that comes to us from Berlin. A film has been made to place on the screen of our European gallant of our European sovereigns and the most beautiful colored woman in the world: the dancer, Ruth Bayton. It deals with, it is said, a sportive band which has rather gay cabarets of Frederickstrasse, and the shadows of the Unter den Linden.
"Alas! it was a film only too well documented and the government of the king has paid a pretty stiff price for it. But—and it is the king's wicked editor of the film has kept the negative, and that it was by housebreaking that His Majesty Don Juan tried to place himself under the shadow of disregion.
"This adventure German-Negro has possessed for years since Miss Ruth Baylon after placing the Josephine Baker of Berlin, is now in our good city, the applauded star of the Folles-Wagram.
"On the track of this crisp story we called on her at the hotel in which she lives on the Boulevard Haussmann.
"We do not know if Miss Ruth is the most beautiful colored woman on earth, but name of idol! how pretty she is. Yes, beautiful but all the precious beauty of poor Fiorina and with a beauty enough to turn the heads of all the klugs of the earth.
"Miss Ruth Bayton does not know a word of French. She speaks also little English. (We do not wish to say that she does not know that language, which is her native language, but she uses it very little, being, thus, not very talkative by nature). "No, I have not any made films, dear sir., "But this film?" "It must have been played by another colored person who made up to ensemble use." "It must about this film?" "Only heard about it five days ago through the German papers." "What are you going in do?"
Miss Bayton smiled, lit a cigarette, and made a dance motion with the upper part of her body. "But," we said, "you're not going to lose such a fine occasion to have yourself talked about. Yes, I know.

News of London
The following items, taken from the Encore, an English publication known to the majority of the colored performers in Europe, tells of the activities of the colored artists in London.
Harry Revel, who accompanies Noble Sissle at the piano in his variety act, has also been associated with him in the composing of several numbers, six of which have been published in the last three months by the leading music companies.
Layton and Johnson head the variety bill at the Hippodrome in Leeds this week. Their wireless and gramophone reputation is enhanced when you hear and see these two clever artists in the flesh, as theirs is syncopation in its best.
Russell and Vilian appeared at the People's Palace on April 3 before a large audience, including H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, in their singing, dancing and patter travesty, which pleased immensely, according to the applause given.
We welcome to Istanbul after a long absence our old favorites Scott and Whaley, in their new production, "The logos Prince." They are always a great attraction here, and will undoubtedly be performing to full houses every night, as on their previous visits. They are at their best in this show, and the green screen is sufficient to judge their popularity. The whole cast work well and deserve their reception.
Johnny Hudgins, the original "Wawar" colored silent comedian from "Black Birds," arrived here after six months at the Moulin Houe, Paris, and spent time with cabaret at the Kit-Cat Restaurant with conspicuous success. He was glad to see so many friends and receive so many cables and wires of good wishes, and emphasizes his preference for English audiences, although played by Johnny. Continued Johnny will be remembered for his origination of the skating dance and the "Mwa Mwa" burlesque. His future movements are undecided, but he opens on Monday at the Alhambra. Johnny feels the lack of the audience that makes him misses the friendship of that dear personality of Florence Mills.
"Brown Birds," paying a quick return at Queen Poniat, received a welcome from a big holiday audience on Monday, and proved that any audience that did not "Waverley" when I use this expression.) The cast is unchanged. Eddie Emerson and Will Garland, "The Kulldug Konkone" get laughs fast and furiously. Jim and Jack, the Jailbird, step out. Groundy and Parham also dance attractively. Dorothy Venton delights everybody with her vocal and terpischorean numbers. Jasper White is a good character man, and a large and capable cast help things to go along meritly. — M. D. F.
"Black Birds" is the attraction at the Hippodrome, Leeds, a brightly dressed show, with clever dancing playing a prominent part. The cast includes Williams and Taylor, two excellent comedians; Johnny Hilt, a nip, Edie Hunter, Anita Edwards, Norman Astwood and Eva Sherman.
Alberta Hunter in "Show Boat." Miss Alberta Hunter has been cast for the part of "Queenie" in Ziegfeld's "Show Boat," along with Paul Robertson, who arrived in London recently.
Leslie Hutchinson, one of the few Negro performers entertaining royalty, nightly, opened a smart night club a few nights ago called "Uncle's." The Prince of Wales was among the celebrities present.
you're modest. The Negro does not rush for the limelight, and it takes two colored women to make a white one in this respect. But in any case won't you tell us whether it is true this adventure with the King of—"But at this precise moment Paul Collier exhibited a pair of invisible costumes, and we could fancy her cry, "Ollie."
After this lead it will not be necessary to give the name of the supposed king in question.
Miss Bayton says her great ambition is to make a big name for herself and she friends to work hard. On May 15 she opens a cabaret which she is planning to lead with others in Montmartro.

We have all, I am sure, appreciated the moles between Mr. Lewis and Mr. Whitney. Each week we have searched The Amsterdam News for these arguments. With an insatiable desire for more, we have eagerly, gluttonously, gulped the portions these men had to offer. Now that it is all over and the tension of our minds somewhat relaxes, we ask ourselves if it has all been for nothing. If the reaction of this work affects the actor and the patron as it should, the debate will serve a noble purpose.
The undisputed truth Mr. Lewis has offered comes upon even those who cheered loudly for Mr. Whitney as being the only course that shall raise us to an appreciable position with dramatist or artist of the drama.

News of Paris
By A. F. Rosemond.
Kent and Hymen have formed a partnership with the Spanish (cobrera) pianist, Marino Durante Jr. They will make their debut at the Olympia on Friday, April 20th. The engagement is for two weeks. Mr. Harpeta is an excellent pianist and has played with many orchestras here, including the Frank Witmers organization.
Dr. Rutherford M. Williams of 131 East thirty-fifth street, Chicago is here, studying surgery in the Medical School of the University of Paris. He will remain here several months and expects to continue his study in Vienna after leaving here.
Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Jones have returned to Paris and, of course, are "black home" at Chesa Florence. They will be attending a professional colony and received an ovation from the guests who crowded their club.
Gamutton Pallee, the largest motion picture house in Europe, has been featuring the historic philippe "Napoleon," by Abel Gange. Of much interest to the patrons is the triple screen, which is an innovation here.
An article appearing in the "Paris Mild" of April 16 comments on the fact that many French musicians are without work, while the Negro musicians, who have taken most of the best engagements, are driving around in automobiles and taxis.
There is a piano act (Wilmer and Doucet, white) which is headlining the music hall of Europe and receiving a very large income therefrom. The act is undoubtedly good. However, if Messrs. Jimmy Johnson and Thomas McCormick make a tour of the European halls (after finishing their engagement in "Keep Shufflin'") they would create a furor.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers, who gave their "farewell" concert at the Grande Salie Pailieu on March 31, gave a gain of 100,000 champs Elysees on Saturday, April 21. The usual capacity house turned out.
The new revue, "Paris qui Tourne," at the Moulin Rouge, starring Mistinguett, opened April 15. The house was closed for a week, during final rehearsals. There are no Negro performers (no far) in the new show.
On Saturday, April 7, all the night clubs which have been closed during the last two months opened with gala programs. Conspicuous among these was "Zellis." Hundreds were turned away and several policemen were on hand to direct the crowd.
Kent and Bernice are the featured entertainers at Zellis. They were very well received on the opening night. The Royal Box Band, which is a fixture at this place, is furnishing the excellent music.
The Easter parade on the different boulevards and in the Bols de Boulogne was an interesting sight. The weather was the best we have had in many weeks. Seen walking on the Boulevard des Italiens were Mr. and Mrs. William S. Lawrence and Mr. Percival Parham, to the nieces of the well-dressed Harvey White (the International Five).
Miss Ruth Bayton is creating a very fine impression with her work in the "Folies Wagram." There are many stars in this revue of two acts and thirty-five tableaux.
Eddie Burks' name is one of the three in large electric lights at the Empire. He is also dancing at the Palermo.
A group of friends and well-wishers went to the Gare du Nord on Friday (the 13th) to say "au revou" to Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Hudgins, who left for London on the special lionits (drawing-room) train of the Calais pavement. He is the face of the Paris-London trains. Both were very funny, but expressed the wish of returning to Paris. Mr. Hudgins opened at the Kit Kat Club on April 15.
Patrons Enjoy Services of Nurse at Alhambra Theatre
The crop of new ideas at the Alhambra Theatre seems to be constant, regardless of season. The management has now provided a trained nurse, whose services are indispensable of patrons of the theatre. In case of any emergency, all that is necessary is to apply to any usher for the services of the nurse. Woman of the hour is appreciative of this unusual attention. The Alhambra nurse is a most competent, though-patient, individual—Mrs. Helen Nickelson, a graduate of Bellevue Training School. The theatre having nurses at the disposal of patrons are the Roxy and Capitol.

bedded in the core of his being; his actions must become force of habit. That requires a slow and ordered process. To my mind this debate is a part of that process and the enforcement of the right habits requires just the part of reaction that this contest must produce, is compelled to produce.
Mr. Lewis is the required victor; Mr. Whitney the victim. Shall we say: "He loses, let him scurry to a corner like a whipped opponent." No! No, not that, because he held a losing fight like a man. Lewis himself admits Whitney's negative in itself weak. Mr. Lewis is sportman enough, and so are we, to give, and now that Mr. Lewis wins untrammeled, will give Mr. Whitney a cheer. Although we do not agree with him wholly, we at least understand him and his side of the argument. We make no mention of his motive. We cannot commend his dramatic appreciation, but we do applaud his courage of his conviction.
I am constrained to plead for respect and three cheers for Mr. Whitney. He is the party of the second part; without his contesting we should have never had the splendid items of Mr. Lewis. It was the steel against the ore; the old against the new; the pro and the con that finally wrought the truth. No man's ideas are absolutely inslipd. We know the sun because we know the rain. We know Columbus was right because others proved themselves wrong. We know that heaven is heaven because we have its contra-part, hell. The greatest of men lose none of our esteem because their theories give place to truth, for the theories were the medium to that truth. To give praise to Nungesser takes none from Lindbergh. No man can commend Mr. Hilchiffe's wedom. That he should brave "Old Windy March" seems unreasonable to us, but we still applaud his pluck. I am grateful to both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Whitney, and I'm sure we all are.

Stage and Screen Provide Great Show at the
As if to bear out its contention that nowhere in the city can the theatre-going public find entertainment to compare with that provided at the Lafayette Theatre, the management or the popular Seventh avenue hyphen that arranged a show this week that is unquestionably one of the finest afternoon or evening's entertainments that can be found anywhere at any price. Both stage and screen juggled their very best to make a program one of uninterrupted collisions.
Ed. Small's famous Paradise Revue is the stage attraction. This is one of the finest "floor shows" in the city, comparing favorably with some of Broadway's well-known night clubs. For its presentation in the Lafayette Theatre this week the revue has been enlarged, new and gorgeous costumes and scenery provided and entertainers added to the cast. The result defies comparison. It is a fast-moving, screamingly tuneful, funeral revue, with splendid running comedy. The choir has been doubled in size, and under the masterful direction of Mr. Leonard Harper lends dash and color and beauty to the revue.
A special word must be said for Charlie Johnson and his orchestra. We have heard wonderful bands at the Lafayette Theatre. Two weeks ago Fletcher Henderson and his musicians gave a most wonderful performance. We also remember that of Sam Goinging's Band, but neither of these bands indeed any band that we have heard in recent years, is superior to Charlie Johnson's splendid aggregation. From the opening chord throughout the entire revue and through four special numbers this band played faultlessly, inspiringly and in a manner that sent the audience out laughing and humming times. In addition to the band, mention also be made of the splendid performance of Dee Brown, Willie Jackson, Alto Oates, Blondina Stern, Beg Footes and Sherman and White.
The feature photoplay for the week is "The Jazz Singer," starring one of the world's greatest performers—Al Jolson. The picture has pictures of more run of two years on Broadway. One of two greatest pictures ever produced and is said to relate the fascinating biography of Al Jolson himself. Solos were heard all over the theatre at the Monday matinee during the dramatic moments in the picture. A decided novelty was introduced by the jazz guitarist for the presentation of "The Jazz Singer." Willie Jackson and Cantor Silverbush sing the famous Al Jolson song hits during the picture. Jackson sings "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face," "Toot, Toot, Tootle, Good-live, Mother of Mine, I Still Have You, Mommy," the canton sings "Elli Elli," and "Kol Nidre." This singing increases the beauty of a truly wonderful film.
It is hard to tell which is the greater attraction—The Paradise Revue or "The Jazz Singer," but, presented on one bill as they are this week at the Lafayette Theatre, they certainly provide one of the finest performances ever presented in a theatre.
Trustees of Martin-Smith School Entertain Members
On Sunday, April 29, the board of trustees of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., entertained the members of that corporation with a musical and ten at 5 o'clock. The auditorium was filled to capacity and very pleasing music program was offered the guests. Mr. William H. Weaver, president of the board of trustees, made a brief address in which he spoke of the aims and ideals of the school as born in the mind of its founder and first director; the late David J. Martin, and stated that he was a trustee; constant desire and work to maintain the standard and service.
Mr. Andrew Robinson, another another of the board of trustees, also socks, mentioning particularly the coming twenty-first annual recessal the school is giving on May 11 at Manhattan Casino. The direct made a few remarks during which he beamed that the junior orchestra of the school had played over station WEBS on Saturday, April 28, at the exposition held by the parents' Association. At grand Central Palace Miss Sonoma Tulley and Miss Gertrude Martin also rendered plays and violin solos, respectively, on this same occasion. The director expressed very encouraged in the fact that the school had been sought to participate in this large important expostive feast it to be an important step forward the progress of the school. After these remarks tea was served and a social hour followed.

New Leading Lady At the Alhambra
---
"Apus" and "Ashes" Continue to Please at Head of Revue This Week
"The House of Lies," the play at the Alhambra this week, reaches the highest point yet attained by the group of drama players assembled by the theater company. Domestic and social entanglements furnish the basis for a play of real dramatic value, and quite exciting it is right up to the final solution. Alice Gorgas in a role of the "good little bad girl" type quite surprised those who have seen her in only demure parts. Fannia Laine, a newcomer to the Alhambra Players, is the young wife, playing with ease and distinction. She is an extremely beautiful girl, tall and slender in type, and possessed of a richly sympathetic voice. The young husband is Edward Thompson, and his friend is played by J. Lawrence Criner. A weak and erring youth of the collage boy sort is Ted Blackman, and Susie Sutton portrays a self-indulgent mother.
"The House of Lies" brought forth storms of applause from every part of the Alhambra, showing that it pleased the critics in the gallery as well as the people in the boxes. Fun in and around a railroad station in the city of Barranquilla in which Sandy Burns and Anus Brooks have the help of another unique comedian, Dusty Fletcher, a newcomer, Dusty's eccentric dances stirred the big audience to cheers. And those sixteen girls! They come along with traveling bags—and the dancing stunts they do with them! Viola McCoy, Amanda Randolph and Inez Dennis lead them in gorgeous numbers, costumed very wonderfully. These merry people—come to the railroad station, start for everywhere and arrive nowhere. Sandy Burns and the tickets get all up until George Wiltshire straightens him out. The photoplay feature is "The Boss of Rustler Boot," a nice action film with Coleen Coulson. All the triple program will also be given at the Wednesday midnight show.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1928
James B. Lowe
JIMMIE SMITH, manager of James H. Lowe, is in New York on a business trip after having been absent from the United States for nearly eight months. He leaves Wednesday for Chicago and will continue to California, his home, where he is identified with the motion picture industry. During his stay, abroad Mr. Smith visited the cities of Paris, London and Berlin, and it was in London and England that Mr. Lowe and Mr. Smith filled very successful engagements. Mr. Lowe did not come over with Mr. Smith, but remains in London and most likely make England his home until his manager arranges for his next American appearance. Having been in New York for nearly eight months, Mr. Lowe does not want to leave until such time as he is absolutely necessary.
Appearing at the London Pavilion for ten weeks, James B. Lowe, with his prologue company, in a fifteen-minute prologue conceived by Noble Stalke, was as big or a greater attraction than the picture "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that followed the prologue. During the intermission Mr. Lowe always appeared on the Pavilion stage for a personal talk with the audience and his appearance and exit always brought a tremendous amount of applause. He dug through his letters and requests for photos, which also attested to his popularity. In the lounge after each performance Mr. Lowe used to shake hands with several hundred theatre patrons each day and he autographed over 2,000 programs, cards and books each week.
For four weeks after his stay at the Pavilion, Mr. Lowe toured the principal cities of England, and at each stop was met by leading city officials. In all he was met or received by eight million people, including cities of Liverpool and Manchester. He spoke to over a half million people, not including three radio talks.
To substantiate this, Mr. Smith brings a scrap book and photographs, the scrap book containing press cuttings that are remarkable and history making for quality and quantity.
"Many people, or course, ask me 'What city should you like best. That is a difficult question to answer, but I will later. Ask me how do I like New York. That is the question I can answer and answer quickly. To me New York is the city. For business opportunities that are right now, not maybe later—New York is the place. I believe that is a great deal for a man from Los Angeles for a great growing city in the world, to say.
"I shall return later and for a long stay."
"The Girl Thief" and "Race Track Revels"
The program starting Monday at
at the computer opens with thirta
lengths of black pixels.
The drama to be presented by the Alhambra Players will be "The Girl Thief," which is not exactly a crook play, despite the title.
Sandy Burns, Dusty Fletcher and all the other Alhambra comedians will have "Face Track Revols" as their offering. There is a rumor to the effect that a real race will be seen in the course of the revue.
The political picture will be "Desperate Courage" with Wally Wales.
Jazz War to Be Staged at Savoy
Six Popular Orchestras to Compete for Applause at Local Ballroom
While it has been brittled about of the many novelties offered at the Saboy Ballroom during the time this popular amusement resort has been in existence, it is doubtful if anything could compare with the plans to present six of the leading orchestras at the same time on Sunday, May 6.
That this will be an unusual treat to the patrons and others of the place goes without saying. We do not think that many musicians have been gathered together under one roof for a special entertainment since the first night James Reese Europe led an augmented orchestra of the famous Clef Club at Manhattan Casino.
Among the well-known leaders appearing at the head of the various jazz bands will be Lloyd Scott, Chick Webb Alex Jackson, Charlie John-Henderson, John Henderson, Thousands have found enjoyment at the Savoy since it has been opened, and to the credit of the management it be said that they have always tried to please and hold their large patronage by offering to the city a form of any other place of its kind in the city catering to Negroes.
Last Two Acts Big Of "Within the Law"
The last two big acts of "Within the Law" are being presented by the Ida Anderson Players at the Lincoln Theatre this week. As the play progresses thrilling moments with a vein of humor continue to hold the attention of Lincoln audiences. A cast thoroughly commensurate with the dramatic strength of the production has been assembled by Paramount for "Hean Stheure" from the picture to "Hean Gaste" which comes in the Lincoln Theatre Thursday.
The cast he reads like a "whose" who of Hollywood. In the title role is Gary Cooper, the young westerner, whose accoundance on the screen has been one of the sensations of pictures. An extra man in Hollywood little more than a year ago, he gained his first recognition as a director in "The Wimming of Barbara Worth." Paramount method his ability and he was signed to a contract, and incidentally signed up with a cinematic screen test. He walked into a group of studio executives for an interview and his Jewish naturalness so impressed them that he was signed for a role. After roles in "Whirr" "Children of Dionce" and "IT," he was made a star in western movies, and this series in "Arizona Bound," "Nevada" and then was selected for the title role of "Bean Sburreur."
Walcott Down
From N. Y. World
JOE WALCOTT, the "Barbados Demon," who held the wetterweight title of the world for eight (1855-1902) is down—and maybe out. The ex-champion, who was once worth a fortune, is today a porter at the Imperial Theatre on West Forty-fifth street, where "Sunny Days" is playing. "Sunny Days" has nothing to do with the story, but one of the stars in that show, Billy R. Van, a comedian, has. Thirty or so years ago, when Walcott, the champion he and Van joined a vaudeville act headed by George Dixon, the featherweight champion, and toured the country. The personal fortunes of Walcott, Dixon and Van and the others in the act ran up and down, and Walcott and Van had seen each other since, but they met recently. Lumbago and rheumatism, family history and other aliments have helped to score a perfect knockout over the "Black Cyclone."
Walcott came here in 1893 from the West Indies, the son of a farmer. He worked in New York City for a short while as a laborer, and his enormous strength and liteness soon attracted the attention of Tom O'Rourke, an old-time fight manager. In two years he became wetterweight champion of the world when he scored a knockout over "Rube" Ferns at Port Erie, Canada. Walcott is now 57 years old and still a sporting fan. Until he took over his Imperial Theatre job which Van landed for him the other day, Walcott put patrons on the housewives Saturday night at the Commonwealth Club. But his new Saturday night duties will beafter keep him away from his favorite "tinkalo-balcony" seat, for Saturday night is the busiest in theatre circles.
It is a bit of drama to observe how fortune has played with Van and Walt

Sport Writers Make Change
Moses to the Tattler, With Shelton Going to the Pittsburgh Courier
The past few months have seen many changes on well known, and others not so well known, newspapers published by members of our group. Recently A] Moses pulled down his colors from the New York News and hoisted them at the sporting mashead of the interstate Tattler. For Al most everybody brought in contact with him cherishes a warm spot in their hearts. Theophilus Lewis whose music appealed at the moment of the interstate Tattler as editor, came down two weeks ago. Lewis also wrote on the theatre while with the Tattler, and it is rumored that a strong but at the same time true article on a certain presentation had a whole lot to do with the passing of Mr. Lewis from the Tattler.
An announcement coming in via the Preston News Service brings the information that Glancee Shelton, who for the past few years held a sport light in he, Pittsburgh district basketball in her area, ketball, baseball and billiards, has accepted the position of sports editor of the Pittsburgh Courier. Shelton succeeds William Nunn, who went out a little white back.
Now comes the news of greatest import. Our old friend, Chappy Gardner, world's leading writer on the theatre and sports, the boy who has seen everything from the day he was born, to the day he and we dare you to question it) particular choice for leading position among the gentry as picked by a wonderful publication said to be a true record of the dolls of our folks in the amusement world, has again, be the Arab, folded his text, and tilded up takes from the new publication known as the West Indian-American.
Chappy still contributes notes to the Pittsburgh Courier, the same paper in which he tells the world that he is the real ziz, and what is cutting us is why in the name of empathy he is the real ziz. Chappy the Pittsburgh Courier, having said so by direction of Chappy, did not issue the call to our hoy to, for the first time in his career, grace the column of a real up-to-the-minute and honest-to-goodness sundown in newspaper with his moniker as sporting editor. Paint fair to Gosham, folks. Flaud the fair to Gosham. Floyd Snelson comes back to the Tattler to tell the world of the doings in the theatre 'everything.
Emile Holly, who gained prominence a few years ago by making a video about his experience academy at West Point, has succeeded Al Moses on the New York News. Holly, as far as we know, is a newcomer to the game, but carved out a useful enthusiasm of an intelligent youngster with a purpose in view.
Swanee Revue at Lafayette
Leonard, Harper announces that the contest of his revues—the Swance Club Revue, will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre during the week beginning May 14. Clara Smith will take part as a special attraction with this revue.
cott. Van is today a millionaire and one of the richest actors on the stage. He is mayor of Newport, N. H., a bank director and proprietor of a large soap plant. In the days when Walcott was the chief attraction, Van was merely a ministrel entertainer who struggled for his weekly Saturday night pittance.
Each Van and Walcott did not see each other for about a quarter of a century, they feel obligated to each other for many past favors, and Van promises to keep a watchful eye on the champion who was.

Brigadier General George R. Dyer,
commanding the Eighty-seventh Infantry Brigade, of which the 369th
infantry is a part, was present at the review of the infantry Thursday
evening at the armory, 30 West
113d street. The drill included
many unique features and was wit-
nessed by more than 6,000, the army being filled to capacity.
Capt. Rufus A. Atkins and his
machine gun company gave a demonstration in machine gun drill and maneuvers. The demonstration depicted an imaginary war and each gun was thrown into action, using blank cartridges.
The machine gun demonstration was supported by the Medical Department, which gave an illustration of the duties and responsibilities of a medical unit in caring for the grounded under the practical conditions of war. The titre regiment then formed for evening parade, at which time

General Dyer presented two awards of ten-year modals for long and faithful service to Selegants Gilbert Simpson of the Service Company and to Henry F. Anderson of Company I. An attendance record cup was also awarded to Company D, of which Capt. Rufus A. Akhla is the commander, for having maintained the highest average during 1926-27.
The Colonel William A. Taylor Cup, for highest rating at the annual muster and inspection during 1928, was awarded to Company I, of which Capt. Harry Miller is in charge.
The regimental band, under Warrant Officer Jacob W. Porter, furnished the music for the occasion. The special features of the review comprised the first effort on the part of the regiment to show the public the real training that the men are getting each week. The armory demonstration included all of the thrills that could be reasonably expected of a war unit in peace times.
Broadway Show at Lafayette
The Morning Telegraph is authority for the statement that "another colored revue will open on Broadway." It goes on to state that the new show is sponsored by Bert. Bert is a Broadway actor, and will feature Sam Woodling's Band, Edith and Leen Wilson, the Highworter Trio, Roscoe Montclair and other favorites. The show will be called Crocle Revels, and will have a musical at the Lafayette Theatre next week (beginning Monday, May 7).

"America Ruled by One-Third Vote"
That two-thirds of America's population does not vote; that a considerable number of these vote blindly, and that the Southern whites in disfranchising Negroes also disfranchise a similar proportion of their own race, is the assertion of Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bols, made during his address to an audience at the West 155th street Y. M. C. A. on Sunday afternoon. He explained a number of charts showing that although the population of the South has been steadily increasing, the registry of voters had failed to grow in proportion.

Former Lodge Head's Suspension Recommended
Fraternal circles in this city were mildly shocked to learn that the trial committee of Imperial Lodge No. 127, I. B. P. O. E. of W., had recommended on Tuesday night that Thomas H. Brown, for seven terms the exalted ruler of that lodge, losing the head of the organization only last December, be suspended from the order for a period of one year. The committee's recommendation grew out of the charge lodged against Brown of malfeasance in office. They charged that the former exalted ruler, who was once considered impregnable in Imperial Lodge affairs, issued and signed a book for $400 in connection with a claim against the lodge without first informing the lodge and obtaining its consent.

THE SUDDEN DEATH of Congressman Martin B. Madden has upset the political situation in Chicago. Last week the Negroes of the country were deploring Madden's victory in the primaries over William Dawson, the Negro candidate, in a district which was four-fifths Negro. It was charged that the leading Negroes of Chicago, the editors, professional men and politicians, had led the fight to convince the Negro masses that the time was not ripe for the election of a Negro to Congress. It was said that the Negro had been set back twenty-five years politically.
IN DEFENSE of Madden's Negro supporters it has been said that many of them were under obligation to him for favors received during his twenty-three years as a Congressman. He was a much-liked man and he had done his best to put through national legislation in behalf of the Negro. This is understandable, though it does not support the Uncle Tom argument that the time is not ripe to send a Negro to Congress. At all events, the personal obligations to Madden are cancelled by his death.
NOW THAT FATE has restored the opportunity that seemed irretrievably lost, what will happen? There is not only a vacancy on the ballot; there is the question of an apt pointee to complete Madden's unexpired term. The ballot vacancy is squarely before Mayor Thompson, who controls the ward committee authorized to fill the vacancy. As Mayor Thompson, since the recent primaries, needs Negro support more than ever, it is likely that he will have a Negro named. It is not improbable that the Governor, a political ally of the Mayor, may name a Negro to finish Madden's unexpired term. In any case, there is no longer an excuse for the Negroes' failing to put their full strength behind a Negro candidate.

Has he done feel safe in the ownership of anything to assure Negroes of the guard of Independence—life, liberty and the POLITICS, the bishop's advice is to gro to vote, but not to be active in another who told her little boy to go near the water.

"SECURE AN EDUCATION, stay in the South and refrain from political activities." This advice was given a Negro audience in Athena, Ga., by Bishop R. J. Cooke. "Stay out of politics," he continued, "and it will keep down lots of friction between the two races. If you want to vote, vote, but always refrain from political activities, as very few people understand the political trend."
THE TROUBLE with most advisers of the Negro is that they think they are talking to fools and children. Since this bishop wants the Negroes to stay in the South, what is he doing to induce them to stay? Has he raised his voice against lynching, peonage, Jim-Crow cars, white racers, Ku Kluxism and general terrorization? Has he tried to get better school facilities for Negroes? Has he done anything to make them feel safe in the ownership of property? Has he done anything to assure Negroes of the guaranty of the Declaration of Independence—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
AS TO POLITICS, the bishop's advice is confused. He tells the Negro to vote, but not to be active in politics. He is like the mother who told her little boy to go swimming, but not to go near the water. If voting is not political activity, what is it? The right to vote includes the right to run for office or to agitate for a policy. Staying out of politics, the bishop says, will keep down friction between the races; but there will be friction whether the Negro goes in or stays out. This country is not run on the principle of keeping down friction, but on the principle of justice for all men. Progress with friction is better than stagnation without friction.

HEYWOOD BROUN is a salty thinker. He keeps a mental salt-shaker at hand to spray everything before he admits it to his company. Without losing his sense of proportion and going all "Red" he has probably done more debunking than any other man in the country. Recently he took a fling at the popular delusions about Negroes. Three of these delusions are that every character in a Negro book is a symbol of his race, that the educated Negro is a tragic figure who has lost his ability to have a good time, and that the mulatto is unhappy and despised by his own race as well as the whites. IF BROTHER BROUN set to work to shatter all the delusions, pierce all the generalizations and expose all the fallacies that white people entertain regarding the Negro, he would never have time for anything else. Like the old cook who was asked if she had any pie, they have "nothing else but."

CHURCH CRISIS APPROACHING
Keeping Fit
By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D.
IN THE large and crowded cities of cold climates the disease of rickets is quite common among infants. Between the ages of two months and one year is the time that rickets manifests itself. Rickets is a serious disease, because it lowers the vitality of the infant and makes the child vulnerable to certain common diseases, such as bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, measles and whooping cough. Rickets is serious, in that defects in the bony structure of the body may occur, resulting in deformities which cause a social and economic handicap in the life of the child. Thus, infant children should be examined often by a physician in order to detect early manifestation of the disease, and, if found, early and proper treatment and advice should be given.
THE several branches of the Methodist Church will hold their general conferences this month. Much more than the routine of electing bishops and choosing officers is involved in the outcome. For the past hundred years the Negro has shown executive energy chiefly in developing and managing his religious estate. Unlettered and unschooled men rose up spontaneously from cornfields and cotton patches and recruited the ranks of the ministry without preparation or training for the highest and holiest function which man can exercise over his fellowman. Were they ignorant? Say rather that they were unschooled.
Let us waive aside the grotesque imperfections and conditions, of that older Negro church. Are the educated sons carrying on and carrying up the work of their educated fathers? Is the Negro church today in as capable and consecrated hands as it was a generation ago? There is all but a universal negative apprehension. The several forms of the Methodist Episcopal churches have practically ceased to grow. The Negro population of Washington city has doubled itself since 1880, but the Methodist churches have scarcely more than held their own. The growth has fallen mainly in the Baptist Church. The same holds good for Baltimore and Philadelphia. The recent Northern infux has caused some stimulation, but the gain in the North is more than offset by the loss in the South. Why have the ecclesiastical powers allowed the membership to

Many theories have been surged as to the cause of rickets. Devilized parents, artificial feeding with cow's milk, condensed milk, nutritional disturbances in the liver, stomach and intestines, deficiency of vitamins in the child's diet, repeated acute infectious diseases, disorders of the internal secretions of the ductless glands, and last, but not least a lack of sunshine and fresh air, are the many reasons given for the disease of rickets.
The feeding of the child needs care and thought. Mother's milk, of course, is the best food for an infant. Artificial feeding, however, if properly proportioned and prepared, certainly does not produce rickets.
Orange juice should be given to every baby who is artificially fed. This juice may be started when the baby is one month old. Raw yolk in small quantities may be mixed with the formula and given to the child from one month on. By the end of the fourth month the whole yolk can be given. Well-cooked guelxs are in order at the fourth month; vegetable-cereal-meat soup in the sixth month cepted by his people to be concise, correct and sound. But it is as a poet that we are now considering him. His poems resemble Byron in texture and composition. He preferred power and thought to beauty and style. And his poems are remarkable for their radicalism. He sacrificed loftiness of thought and beauty for that of power. He is seldomly ever sublime or graceful.
Patricioio's poetry resembles a cataract, "crashing, swelling, turbulent, roaring," carrying along with it everything that comes in his way. Once in a while, and when calm is his soul, he becomes a singer of beauty and love. But he never contents himself to remain tranquil for any length of time.
He was the first poet, I believe, to reach the people's inner understanding. His logic was always clear, and that was the putt" he employed. And the group of young boys he soon became their idol, lived a life worthy of recording by an able biographer, and this remains yet to be accomplished.
His books are; "Os Retratistas" and "Mota Conteiro." There are some small pamphlets on political matters of Brazil and the other South-American countries which are not included in his minor writings. He was an influential member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. Patrocinio died at Rio in 1901.

conferences should look into this membership decline? Is the present generation showing less efficiency in mantaining the religious estate than its forebears, who built it up and handed it down to them?
The approaching general conferences had better give attention to religious statesmanship as to how they can best conserve and administer the vast spiritual estates which have been committed to their keeping.

and vegetable purces by the eighth month.
Cod liver oil must be given in this climate about the third or fourth week of the infant's life. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, and this vitamin has proved its worth as a preventative against rickets.
Medical authorities now claim that sunlight is the chief element in rickets' prevention. Nursing babies of the Solomon islands are robust and well nourished. They do not develop rickets, yet the diet of the mothers of these babies is restricted chiefly to fish and yams. The posture, physical development of bone and muscle in these mothers and babies is beyond comparison. These people wear very little clothing. Their skin is exposed to the sunlight.
The sunlight is made up of three distinct rays—heat rays, light rays and ultra violet rays. The last are chemically active and sink below the outer layers of the skin into the deep tissue and contribute to the proper deposition and utilization of the calcium and phosphorus in the blood.

Benjamin Harrison left the presidency in 1833 to become one of the leaders of the American bar. In 1888 he represented Venezuela in its boundary dispute with Great Britain. He also wrote, his output consisting of "This Country of Ours" and a volume of essays under the title, "Views of an Ex-President." Harrison died in 1901.
William McKinley died in office and Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him in 1901. Upon quitting the White House in 1909, Roosevelt went on a hunting trip to Africa. On his return he became the nominee of the progressives for President, but was defeated by Woodrow Wilson. He continued, however, to be a political leader with a vast following. When the World War came, Roosevelt became an unpleasant of American preparedness. He died in 1919.
William Howard Taft in 1913 left the White House to become a law lecturer at Yale University and later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Roosevelt and Taft were the first Presidents to write in large volume for magazines and newspapers.
Woodrow Wilson, the last President to retire, announced the formation of a law partnership with Bathbridge Colby, his last Secretary of State. But owing to health, he was unable to take an active part in the partnership, and remained in seclusion at his home in Washington until his death in 1924.
people, old and young, as it had in the earlier day. This is due in large part to the religious degeneracy of the times. But it is widely alleged that no small part of the religious indifference is due to the lack of consecration and sinlessness of devotion of the ministers of the gospel. The chief charge is that ministers are too often nothing but spiritual proffiteers and gospel grafters. In my address to the Baltimore ministers' meeting, mentioned in a previous release, I said that it is a disgrace for a Negro minister to be rich. This is a firm conviction. Whenever a preacher shows vigorous signs of prosperity, the probabilities are that his worldly gains grow from one or two unhallowed sources; he has taken advantage of his spiritual position to exploit the unsophisticated poor people who trust him, or he has neglected his ministerial duties for the sake of illicit lucre. The minister should never be a gold digger.
The layman is hearing too much of the moral lays of some ministers of the gospel. Scandal and rumors of scandal fill the ears of members and non-members of the church. In one great branch of Methodism the editor of an official organ makes definite and specific charges against the highest ecclesiastical dignitaries. Too often these charges remain undeniated and unrefuted. And yet this editor is allowed to keep his official position.
Only two courses are open: Either to disprove the charges and dislamb the editor, or to prove them and unfrock the dignitaries accused. The church cannot retain its self-respect in any other way. And yet it is felt in many quarters that this fearless editor is backed by a large number in the church who believe that a house cleaning is necessary. The ordinary, intelligent by mind will not stand for uneleanness in the house of God.

BALLS and dances in America are social functions to which such qualifying words such as splendor and magnificence may be applied with the proper modesty of expression. The fundamental difference between a ball and a dance is that people of all ages are asked, to a ball, while only those of approximately one age are asked to a dance. Snobbish, as it may sound, a brilliant ball is necessarily a collection of fashionable people, and when all the oddly assorted frumps on the outskirts of society are gathered, very distinguished results cannot hope to be achieved.
However, almost everyone in a large city is expected to learn and perform rules of etiquette. It is one's thoughtfulness and courteous acts that make him or her a popular and desirable dance guest. We call them "good-mixers" and "well bred" acquaintances, and we always feel that they must be included among the invited guests. While one's good clothes and sweet personality may place them upon the preferred list of desirable, the lack of correct demeanor and department in public by these same people has a tendency to erase gradually the impression formerly made.
When plans are made by individuals to attend a dance, little is thought of the unforeseen embarrassments to be encountered after arriving there. Each individual plans to look his best before the public, but may forget to brush up his good manners and to review his duties toward the party or guest, he is to accompany.

At the Dance
These general conferences must address themselves to self-purification. Perhaps the greatest issue that devolves upon religious statesmanship consists in finding some feasible plan of inducing college-bred young men to elect the ministry. There are thirty thousand pulpits to be filled in the next generation. If the great bulk of the best prepared men and women go into medicine, teaching and other secular pursuits, the future pulpit will fall behind the latter in intelligence and understanding. No church can long survive such disparity.
Whatever might be said about the old Negro preacher, he was usually the most intelligent, ambitious and self-assertive man in his community. He could hold the admiration of his followers; that admiration was based upon respect for his superiority. But too often today the pulpit becomes the object of ridicule by reason of comparative deficiency in the intellectual equipment of the preacher. This reproach should not be allowed to continue. On the other hand, the ministry should be recruited from the best we breed, fortified by the highest training and preparation.
After wide inquiry, I am all but convinced that the reputation of too many ministers for graff, greed, selfish ambition and other forms of imperfection is keeping college-bred young men from the ministry. It was but the other day that a distinguished clergyman gave his opinion that right-minded college men would never seek the holy office until these imperfections are removed. But there are two lines of hope: A running stream purifies itself; there are thousands of true and tried priests of God who, have never bowed their knees to Baal. Upon these pillars of hope must be builft the Negro church of the future.

manner; to dance with him first before accepting an invitation to dance with any other man there; to be careful not to lose interest in her escort; in all, to make him feel that he has made no mistake in choosing her as his guest of honor for the evening.
A gentleman's duties are unlimited, for there are many instances when embarrassing situations present themselves. It is up to the man to know what to do when these emergencies arise. Some of his principal duties are to provide for comfortable transportation to and from the dance; upon arriving, to see that the lady's wrap and personal belongings are properly checked; to offer her the first dance and as many as she chooses thereafter. In the event, however, he wishes to dance with some other young lady; he should see to it that his lady guest is provided with a dance partner for that set, always returning immediately after the dance is over to avoid her the embarrassment of standing alone after her partner has dismissed himself.
The question of checking wraps is one difficult to solve owing to the fact that many dance halls or studios do not provide an efficient checking system. One or two people, possibly without the experience of handling wraps for checking, are placed in a checking room and are expected to serve, in many instances, a thousand or more people. Each individual expects personal attention given to the placement of his wrap, etc., within the period of two or three hours arriving and about one hour departing.
Together with the slow and cumbersome process of taking in and giving out wraps in the checking room, one often suffers the embarrassment and uneasiness of being crowded upon and jogged about on the staircase or in the lobby. These conditions cannot be avoided by the guests themselves, but it is here that the gentleman friend plays one of his big roles in the art of courtesy. It is really at this point that he makes a big "hit" with the lady friend, when he goes forth like a gallant soldier to the front and in a mannerly and orderly way deposits or receives her wraps and his without her assistance or discomfort.
If the checking rooms are combined, the young man should first escort the young lady he is accompanying to the waiting room or to a convenient seat where she may wait until he has performed the task of checking the wraps. If the rooms are separate, he should first escort the young lady as for as he is permitted to the ladies' entrance, await her return, see that she is at ease or seated, then examine himself cordially to check his own wrap. Upon leaving the dance, the same process should be

RAINBOW ROUND MY SHOULDER; The Blue Trail of Black Ulysses, By Howard W. Odum, Boblis-Merrill Co. $3.00.
THE manure-monger is king of the present day literary world. The old conception of literary artistry has gone the way of the Czar and the Kaiser. Readers used to find thrills in Thackeray, Scott and Dickens, or Balzac, Dumas and Hugo, but now they want stronger meat. And the meat they are getting is admittedly stronger than that of the old masters—stronger in smell. The meat they buy at the butcher's must be as clean and fresh as possible, but they don't want their literary meat till it is half-decayed and dragged through a sewer.
"Rainbow Round My Shoulder" is a case in point. On the jacket of this book are the comments of five well-known authors and critics, praising the book as a fine place of art and enjoying the "magnificent vitality" of the hero. If you are wise to the ways of white critics with books on the Negro, you are at once suspicious. But if you are innocent you say "What a wonderful book!" and open it with a glow of delighted expectation. And what do you find—that is, if you see with your own eyes and not with the critics?
You find one of the trashiest, messiest conglomerations in all the nauseous litter of books and plays wished on the Negro in the past five years. You will find an ascan, packed tight, piled high and running over with all the muck and maggots that a white author can find in the Negro race. You find 322 pages of print without point, progression, selection, unity, contrast, or any of the elements to be looked for in a good novel. The author seems to have assumed that to produce a Negro novel he had only to throw together a pile of chaos and carrion. And he has the nerve to say that his hero is "emblematic of the American Negro in the first quarter of the twentieth century." The only use of reviewing such a book is to save decent people the trouble or reading it.
The hero of the book, Left-Wing Gordon, is fondly called Black Ulysses by the author. Old Homer must turn over in his grave at the way modern writers dignify every fen-footed hobo with the name of Ulysses. Left-Wing Gordon is about us low-down a Negro as can be found in his whole race; in fact, the reader suspects that the adventures of several men have been lumped together under the name of one. For it is hard to conceive that any one Negro followed. Always remember to get your wraps early!
A dance or social evening should be a relaxation from the daily grind of urgent business duties, and unless all concerned do their hit to make the evening wholesome and pleasant, modest ones will be forced to follow the precepts of mental science to make themselves believe that the evening was well spent.
"How It Feels to Be Colored"
Zora Neale Hurstow considers the color line in "How It Feels to Be Colored," which is published in the May World Tomorrow.
But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor hurking behind my eyes. I do not mind it at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all hurt about it. Even in the shelter-shelter skimlush that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.

Turn de se
And let it shine with
Put dem evil passion
Lay dem way up on
And learn to treat
Just as you would
When your hands
And you are temple
Steal into your secret
And in de darkness
Ask de good Lord f
When your angry passions rise
And dar's gwine to be a squall.
Just remember after a big fight
Dar sometimes is a fall;
You may think to beat your brudder,
But for all you know
He may be de one that does de beating.
So you had better let him go.

At the age of thirty-two Gordon has held more than one hundred jobs in thirty-eight states of the Union. He seldom stays in one place more than three weeks, never more than four. From his innumerable jobs one would think that he was just a roving laborer, but between his short-lived employments he manages to become a crop-shooter, a plump, a whore-monger, a thief, a home-wrecker, and a murderer. Always ignorant, irresponsible, thrifty, lustful, childish, thleving, drunken and lying, he is just the type of Negro that the white man delights in depleting. He likes to break in and shoot up dances and church parties; he is proud of breaking up a church service by firing a pistol in the middle of a sermon. And this is the character whom the author calls "emblematic of the Negro in the first quarter of the twententh century!"
How can a Negro who shoots up a church be called typical? A bad Negro might keep away from churches, but the idea of molesting them would never occur to him in a thousand years. Of the 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States 5,000,000 are church members, with 47,000 churches. In such a religious race it would be hard to find a man who would shoot up a church, and if found he would not be typical. As for the art in this story, which the white critics make so much of, try and find it. There is no form or sense of form; the story is told in unrelated chips. It is just as if the author had jotted down notes in a scrap-book for years, then jumbled them together and called the mass a novel. The story is told in the hero's own words and the author falls into nummous blunders.
In a letter to his sweetheart, for instance, this filibiterate Negro can not spell "hug," yet he spells correctly such words as "received," "apartment," "accomplish," "sympathy," and "receipts." His sweetheart, a woman of his own class, misspeaks; but she could never think up such flowing English as she writes in a letter: "The long desire to be relieved of the responsibility of carrying the weight of love that I possess for you is at times almost unendurable. . . . If love was a quantity that could be measured scientists would fall in an attempt to construct a vessel that could be used in measuring my love for you." The book is full of mucky conversation, especially where two Negro women are boasting of their sexual prowess. The following colloquy: being comparatively unid, illustrates the general tone of the book: "Dam you, whose grub is this you eating?"
"We inhue, teller say,
"No, you won't, not it."
"No, you won't, not it."
Well, I'll spit in then, old son." "What son you takin' 'bout, don't be cullin' me no son." "Well, you ain't my son, I know you ain't son of God; must be son of bitch." "Read this book if you want an utter waste of your time. The rainbow may be round the hero's shoulder; it is certainly not in the book.
