Representative citizens, upon being summoned, rushed to the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, located at Room 206, Lincoln Building, last Wednesday, when six white men are said to have entered the office and, without producing any search warrant, searched the promises and person of Ashley L. Totten, assistant general organizer, after charging him with peddling narcotics. Asked to explain the true purpose of their mission, they replied that they were sent there to arrest Totten for peddling dope and argued that they had the evidence. Totten challenged them to arrest him, and it was then that they began to weaken, and after explaining that they were informed Pullman porters were bringing dope to his office, they hurriedly went away.

Mrs. Weston, herself a member of the church and a singer in the choir, according to information given to a reporter for this paper by neighbors, spent several nights each week attending wild parties and cabarets. Her husband, who was of quiet temperament, strongly objected to her conduct and remonstrated with her. On Friday night when she was at the dinner table, Weston asked her not to go out. To this she paid no attention, but cleaned up the dishes and went upstairs and dunned her best clothes. Coming downstairs, Mrs. Weston remarked that she was going out, saying, also, "You mind the kids yourself." As she was about to leave the house. Weston shot her. He then went into a corner of the room and blew his brains out. Mrs. Weston was formerly of Alexandria, Va.

Boulin Detective Agency Denied Renewal of License in Decision Monday A license has been denied the Boulin National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street, by Deputy Secretary of State MacNulty, who has held up the renewal of the 1928 license pending the outcome of a complaint lodged against the agency by Holland Yearwood, 101 West 126th street. Mr. MacNulty, who is commissioner of licenses for detective agencies, rendered a definite decision on Monday. However, announcement is made by Herbert S. Boulin, chief detective of the agency, that all of the agency's business will now be handled by Bowen's Confidential Service, a detective agency licensed and bonded by the State of New York, of which he is the general manager. Business, therefore, will be conducted as usual at the same address. CABARET BANDIT QUINTET DRAWS LONG PRISON TERMS Nine Others Convicted of Robberies, Holdups and Thefts Sentenced in General Sessions Court Woman Sent to Bedford Fourteen robbers, holdup men and petty thieves were given aggregate sentences totaling 150 years by Judges Allen and Donnellan sitting in Parts II and III, respectively, in General Sessions Court Friday morning. The hard boiled quintet from Youngstown, Ohio, who robbed the Nest Club and the Sheep Club during March were given sentences by Judge Donnellan as follows: Yearwood complained that on August 2, during a divorce with John Lloyd Brown, 484 Brownsville avenue, and Boulin operatives, he was dragged, at the point of a gun, into the room of Mrs. Mary E. Brown and thrown into bed with her at his home and then named as correspondent in Brown's divorce suit against his wife. Boulin's license was then held up and a hearing of the case occurred in February. It was then revealed that Boulin had rented a room in Yearwood's home under the fictitious name of Johnson and did a clever piece of acting on the night of the raid by being "beaten" by one of his own operatives when he (Boulin) came from his room "to ask Mrs. Brown what the trouble was." Yearwood called in the police to complain about his "lodger" being beaten, but made no complaint of assault upon himself until he reached the Commissioner's office. When (Continued on Page 2.)

C., May 14.—Continuing his attacks on the Catholic Church and Governor Alfred E. Smith in the Senate last Tuesday, Senator Thomas J.

When arraigned before him Friday, Magistrate Flood dismissed them, also. "Every man's art is a pattern which he weaves in the loom of life, and a theatrical performer is one of the principal weavers." According to the Rev. Wilfred W. Monroe, assistant pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, Douglas "Slim" Henderson, well-known stage comedian, was such a weaver. These words were spoken over "Slim" remains Sunday afternoon at the funeral parlor of Granville O. Paris, 151 West 131st street, where funeral services were held. Interment was at St. Michael's Cemetery. Among the palibearers were such popular comedians as Sandy Burns, Tim Moore, Billy Mitchell, Billy Higgins and Joe Bird. A dozen actresses, friends of "Slim" were flower girls, and the Four Fs Club of actors led the funeral procession for a brief march through the streets. Lung trouble was the cause of the comedian's death last Wednesday, after an illness of about a fortnight. He is survived by his widow and two daughters, Toots and Marie. Throughout most of his stage career he was accompanied by his talented wife, Rosa. For a time he was a popular attraction at the Swan Club, a cabaret in West 125th street, near Eighth avenue. He was also one of the stars in Clarence Williams' Broadway show, "Bottomland," and was a familiar figure on the stage of local theatres. He was born in New Orleans 39 years ago. Time-Payment House Scored Time-Payment House Scored --- Took $200 Worth of Furniture to Satisfy $10 Balance. Man Testifies Installment houses that seize as much as $200 worth of furniture merely to satisfy a $10 debt were branded as "unscrupulous in their collection of unpaid installments" by Commissioner of Accounts Higgins on Thursday, adding that he would recommend an amendment to the law which would provide that Installment houses shall not confiscate any furniture in excess of that which would cover the amount of the judgment. These revelations came during the investigation of city marshals and the specific case was that of Elmore Howard, 142 West 133d street, who complained against the Equitable Furniture Company. Howard testified that City Marshal David Leef, white, representing the Equitable, had seized all of his furniture because he refused to pay for a $10 dresser which he had tried to return to the company. All the rest of the furniture had been paid for—about $200 worth. Marshal Leef was severely criticised for taking the furniture to the company's warehouse in one of the company's trucks. EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION WHEREVER Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. 'ALCO' SESOM SHOT IN BACK OF HEAD BY WHITE OFFICER Witnesses Assert Killing Was Without Cause—Argument in House Said to Have Preceded Slaying—Dead Man's $5,000 Ring and Pin Missing What a half-dozen witnesses declare was a cold-blooded murder on the part of Patrolman Charles Reilly, white, of the West 135th street station, occurred about 3 o'clock Monday morning when he shot and killed "Alco" James Sesom, 32, in front of his home at 61 West 135th street. Sesom formerly ran the Raylon, Republican Club at 54 West 135th street. He is said to be a bootlegged, and required to have been very wealthy. Cohen's Alleged Assailant Freed Testimony Adduced Show ing Prize Fighter Was Fired on by Another William T. Pennyfeathers, 18, 36 West 128th street, charged with shooting in the back Wilbur Cohen, well-known prizefighter, 115 West 117th street, was dismissed after a hearing in Heights Court before Magistrate Flood on Friday. Testimony revealed that an unknown man shot Cohen and escaped. Pennyfeathers denied even having a gun in his possession at the time and place of the shooting. Pennyfeathers testified that Cohen paid attentions to his wife at a party the night of the shooting, March 26, in front of the Franklin Theatre, Lenox avenue at 1456 street. Cohen also threatened him, he said. A scuffle took place in which he was knocked to the ground, he said. One of two unknown men in the party fired on Cohen, he said, and tan away.

"Limelight" Blease Attacks Howard Bill WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.—Senator Coleman L. of "Limelight" Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, last Tuesday objected to the consideration by unanimous consent of the bill to authorize annual appropriations for Howard University. An appeal to Blease by Senator Royal S. Copeland, Democrat, of New York, to withdraw his objection had no effect. "I wish the Senator might find it in his heart to consent to the passage of this bill," said Senator Copeland. Blease replied that if Congress will give to the Nexro colleges in South Carolina the same amount of money it gives to Howard University, he would agree to it. He said he would never consent to the people of his state paying a 3-mill constitutional tax to educate colored people and then vote to give away "the money of my people to other states that do not do anything to try to help their colored people. We are educating ours," he said. "We are taking care of them, and we are keeping them in their places by that education." Reilly and Seasom are said to have been heard arguing inside Seasom's apartment. Later Reilly left, it seems, and Seasom and his friends were standing on the sidewalk talking. According to Frederick A. Wheeler, Seasom's secretary, and a witness to the shooting, Reilly came back across the street and demanded that the congregation dispersed. The patrolman is said to have struck Seasom with his night stick, and Seasom caught the stick and said, "Reilly, stop hitting me with the stick." While Seasom repeated this statement Reilly is said to have replied, "Let go of that stick or I'll give you the gun." "All right, but don't strike me again," Seasom told him, and turned and walked four paces away from Reilly. Wheeler and the other witnesses said that Reilly then walked up behind Seasom with his gun and fired a bullet into his brain. Seasom dropped to the sidewalk. "Beat it, or I'll give it to you, too," Reilly said and aimed his gun at Wheeler, it is reported. Elwood Seasom, the dead man's brother, Thomas Keeling, 535 West 133d street, "Caruso" Lambert Fraser, "Pistol" Clark, and several others declared they were eye-witnesses to the shooting. Keeling and Frazer assisted Reilly in lifting Seasom into a taxicab and he was taken to Harlem Hospital in a dying condition. He passed away about noon of the same day. Sesom wore a diamond ring and a stick-pin valued at nearly $5,000. When the brother called at the pitilal for his property these pits of jewelry wore missing, it is a fact. According to a report issued Desk Leutenant Purnell at the situ- tion house, Patrolman Reilly said that he arrested Sesom on suspicion. Civil Rights Suit Settled Out of Court Plaintiff Alleged Discrimination by the McDougall Coffee Shop A test of her liberties and privileges under the Civil Rights Act was brought to a happy conclusion when Florence Rita Fitt, a civil clerk attached for years at Lincoln Hospital, won a settlement of $150 Monday morning in her suit alleging discrimination by the Alice F. McDougall Coffee Shops, Inc. The act of discrimination is alleged by the plaintiff to have been practiced on her on Jan. 31, when she attempted to obtain service in one of the McDougall coffee shops in Grand Central Station. The case was postponed on four occasions until last Wednesday, when a jury was drawn in the Seventh Municipal Court to render a verdict on the $500 suit. A decision in the case was scheduled for Monday morning, but before the case could go to the jury attorneys for the plaintiff offered the above-mentioned settlement, which was accepted.

METHODISTS' CONFERENCES IN SESSION A.M.E. Delegates in Chicago Score Easy Divorces and Companionate Marriages Sessions so Far Have Been Harmonious—Resolutions Favoring Rotating of Bishops Every Two Years Passes CHICAGO, May 14 (By the Associated Negro Press). — The African Methodist Church, in all of its ramifications, "is moving along." This fact is being firmly established by the reports submitted at the general conference of the denominations, which is in session here at the Eighth Regiment Armory, at Twenty-fifth street and Giles avenue. Easy divorces and companionate marriages were scored as the "greatest blight to our civilization" and "the nearest approach to prostitution to the marriage altar" by the episcopal address, which is a message from the bishopric to the conference and delivered by a series of bishops. The message pointed to the progress of the church, declaring that "in every city of any size churches had been built, purchased or rebuilt, the membership has increased and the ministers as a whole are more cultured and better trained." E Haynes of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The keynote address of the conference was delivered by John R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C., financial secretary of the denomination. There are exactly 108 ministers seeking the bishopric. Only four will be elected at this conference. Ira T. Bryant Stirs Conference As was predicted; the greatest sensation of the session to date was caused by the fiery contention Modernism and fundamentalism were thrust in the background in this address, evidencing the belief that the greatest work could be accomplished through "unity of religion," "unity of the church," and the "unity of man." In pointing out the problems faced by the church, due to the migration of Negroes from the South to the North, the bishops ascribed the reason for the migration to "the suppression, oppression, and repression of our people by the dominant group in the South ad the deprivation of political rights." Recommendations were submitted condemning lynching and segregation and urging the people to make thoughtful use of the ballot. In all elections. Other recommendations pertaining to legislation were referred to committees. The sessions have been harmonious from the beginning and, while there are "rumors of war," as yet nothing has really broken the serenity of the meeting. One of the most important resolutions passed has been that bishops who have served two or more terms in one district must be moved. While it is rumored that this did not take so well with some of the bishops, there has been no how heard from the bishopric. Each night a special program has been rendered and many distinguished speakers have addressed the conference, including Dr. Robert R. Moton, Mayor William Hale Thompson, Dr. Shaler B. Matthews, dean of the Theological School of Chicago University, and Dr. George "Unlawful" Occupa Haiti Assailed by S Haitian Patriotic Union and League Hold Mass Cas The unlawful intervention of subsequent enforced occupation natives under military rule and Monroe Doctrine, were assailed delivered by Senator William meeting of the Haitian Patriot Anti-Imperialistic League, gath lem Casino, 00 West 116th street "Unlawful" Occupation of Marines of Haiti Assailed by Senator Wm. H. King The unlawful intervention of the United States Marines, the subsequent enforced occupation of Haiti, the degradation of natives under military rule and the misinterpretation of the Monroe Doctrine, were assailed in a lengthy and fiery address delivered by Senator William H. King of Utah before a joint meeting of the Haitian Patriotic Union and the All-America Anti-Imperialistic League, gathered Sunday afternoon at Harlem Casino, 90 West 116th street. Other speakers included: William Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P.; Robert Minor, editor of the Daily Worker; Irving Potash of the Furthers' Union; J. J. Adams, Haitian representative at the Geneva Conference; Henry Rosemond of the Haitian Patriotic Union, and Manuel Gomez of the All-America Anti-Imperialistic League. The meeting scheduled for 2 o'clock did not begin until 4 p. m., as it awaited the arrival of the Senator, who came to the hall direct from Pennsylvania Station. Pointed sentences from his address follow: Act of usurpation and oppression. We should withdraw our forces immediately and in so doing perpetuate our own glorified Democracy."

In violation of the Constitution and in illegal violation of the suffrage rights of a neighboring weakling nation, sent vessels and thousands of our forces to Haiti, disregarding or ignoring the fact that no excuse had been furnished or existed for the military invasion of this land of friendly people. "Our liberties were not menaced and the liberties of Latin American countries were not in danger. "It is said that the United States governs Haiti better than the Indians can govern themselves. What of it? If conceded, what then? Did God make the United States a policeman for all the rest of the world? "Borno isn't the President of Haiti. He represents the military power of the United States and holds his power by virtue of American imperialism. "The United States should leave Haiti alone. Our best policy to pursue in assisting her would be in giving advice when solicited. "Even if we concede that Haiti will again resort to her old methods of government and suffer once more from her numerous revolutions, what then? It is their own struggle, and they should be allowed to fight it out among themselves. "Our old treaty with Haiti expired in 1826.

Hawkins, Washington, D. C., financial secretary of the denomination. There are exactly 108 ministers seeking the bishopric. Only four will be elected at this conference, Ira T. Bryant Stirs Conference As was predicted; the greatest sensation of the session to date was caused by the fiery contention of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School department, that laymen should have representation on the Episcopal Committee. Mr. Bryant's contention was that the law of the church says the committee shall be elected; that laymen, as members of the general conference, are entitled to representation; that the delegation of the Tennessee annual conference had elected him the leader of his delegation, and it would be in keeping with the custom for him to be accorded this place. Attorney W. H. C. Brown of Norfolk, Va., in a fiery speech, favored the contention of the Mr. Bryant, and concluding, warned the delegates that laymen will never be satisfied with being denied their legal and moral rights. Jones Criticizes Ransom In his address, Bishop Joshun H. Jones criticized Bishop Reverdy Ransom for his supposed action in allowing the Tennessee annual conference to elect Mt. Bryant leader of the delegation. He held that that the conference was wrong in trying to dictate to the general conference, and the bishop was wrong when he permitted such to be done. Pointing his finger and speaking in most solemn tones, Bishop Ransom declared: "The church belongs to the laymen, and not to the bishops, nor to the preachers; since the church is theirs, shall we deny them a part in government of their own church?" He then warned: "This thing will not be settled until it is settled right, and these laymen will have what is justly theirs!" ation of Marines of Senator Wm. H.

Reckoning Day for "Numbers Players" Several Draw Prison Sentences in Special Sessions Court Thursday and Friday were days of reckoning for a large number of policy players and collectors, some of whom were arraigned for trial and others for sentence, in Part I of Special Sessions Court. All cases were tried by Judges Kelly, Murphy and Kernochan. Among those present was Francis E. Jones, recently of 227 West 137th street, who folloled the law for quita a while, until last week when he was convicted of "ninners playing." Sentence of ninety days in the workhouse was imposed, but his attorney, Demerald H. Williams of 200 West 135th street, served notice on the Court that the defendant would appeal from the judgment rendered against him. George Hoffman, 30, formerly of 250 West Forty-first street, who gave his occupation as a porter and who remained obdundate to the very last with a plea of not guilty, was finally convicted of "numbers" collecting and drew a sentence of sixty days in the workhouse. Thomas Smith, 25, who made his homo at 70 West Ninety-ninth street and who was convicted recently on Casino NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1928 HOLLAND TUNNELS Linking New York & New Jersey To have the Service ready THE new Holland Vehicular Tunnel between New York and New Jersey cost in the neighborhood of $48,000,000. A tremendous amount, wellinvested to speed physical transportation between two states. We too, have our transportation problems—to carry the voices of millions of telephone users wherever they wish to go. To meet the steady demand for more service, the New York Telephone Company spent nearly $60,000,000 in 1927 alone—considerably more than the cost of the great Holland Tunnel. This money provided, in New York State, many new telephone buildings, new central offices with their switchboards, new cables and conduits. New telephones-a net growth of almost 144,000 in the past year. Tons of wire-over 747,000 miles in 1927 enough to go almost 30 times around the earth. So we must keep on building and planning ahead to have the service ready when it is required. For telephone needs must be anticipated if the best interests of you, the user, are to be served. NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY a similar charge, was also given a similar sentence, Charles Benjamin, 30, 68 West 123th street, drew a suspended sentence, and so did William Green, 27, 259 West 124th street. On Thursday morning nineteen were arraigned and subsequently adjourned for trial at a further date. Addresses were omitted as the clerk of the court called out the following names: Emma Chambers, Dorothy Robinson, James Burns, Ruben Edwards, Shannon Johnson, John Pape, Calle Dorsey, Medvina Miller, Robert Porter and William Rixey. Also Mortimer Todd, Dominick Vitacco, John Munson, Elizabeth Thomas, Anna Snowden, Elizabeth Preston, Henry Burton, Charles Coppo and James Gittens. 3 Held as Robbers Of Auctioneer One Suspect Faces Life Term if Convicted on Present Charge Three men, one of whom faces a life term as a fourth offender were held without bail by Magistrate Flood in Harlem Court Friday when they were arraigned on charges of robbery. The three men were arraigned on complaint of Frank Sear, white, an auctioneer of 224 East 27th street, who charges that they robbed him of $36 and his watch and chain in the hallway of 36 West 131st street. The prisoners gave their names as, William Coffin, 45, 55 West 132d street; Frederick Johnson, 32, and Charles Pheonix, 31, both of 79 West 128th street. The latter two deny the charge, but Coffin, according to the police admitted his guilt. Coffin, according to the police, has an exceptionally long police record, having been arrested fourteen times before and convicted on three felony charges and five minor charges. He now faces a life term under the Baumes laws in the event he is convicted of the charge made by Sears. CHANGE OF PLEA SAVES MAN FROM LIFE TERM Permission to withdraw his plea of guilty on a charge of burglary probably saved a life sentence from being imposed upon Robert A. Jones, 24, 21 West 135th street, a fourth offender, who was sent to the penitentiary Thursday after a trial by a lenient jury sitting in the court of County Judge McLaughlin. By changing his plea the charge was reduced from burglary to petty larceny and Jones received a sentence of from three months to three years. A. M. E. Zion Connection Elevates Dr. W. W. Matthews to Bishopric Rev. J. W. Brown a Leading Candidate—Knoxville District Presiding Elder Dies of Heart ST. LOUIS, May 14—Dr. W. W. Matthews of Washington, D.

CERTAIN book types, unless they are reference books or standard school texts, are considered ancient if they are read eighteen years after the date of their initial appearance on the market. And yet books written about women usually hold the interest of women of any period. At random I have chosen a few passages from Marchioness Townshend's "Maxims and Musings," published in 1910. The writer was bartered by her father for a title—and she spent most of her time writing. The following quotations may be of use to you: If a woman is asked which she would rather have, a past, a present or a future, she would generally choose a present. The world cuts a woman with a Past, but runs after a man with a Future. It is a difficult task to convince one woman that another woman is beautiful. It is a super-human task to convince her that the other woman is beautiful, virtuous and clever. Never trust a woman who is dull with women, but livens up when the men come in. If you are a plain, young married woman, never ask a very attractive girl friend to stay with you; she may be quite nice and you may be able to trust your husband—still, I shouldn't take any risks. Many women make their husbands leave the paths of truth by asking them where they've been. When women are doing fancy work with their needle, they are very often doing embroidery with their tongues. When women call each other "dear," they generally mean dear at any price. That woman is a true friend who will lend you her prettiest hat when you are going out with a man she likes. Often men believe and say they know more about women than women know about themselves. The fact remains, however, that Marchioness Townshend was one woman who knew her sex—T.E.B.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16. 1928 HOUSEWINE'S EXCHANGE VERY soon the suggestion to have a picnic will be heard from every angle. There are as many kinds of picnic as there are people to go on them, places to go, and means of getting there. Some of them are the automobile picnic, the moonlight picnic, the sand picnic, the picnic in the backyard and the hot weather picnic. When there is to be a hurried lunch on a long drive or boat-ride, and when there will not be a place for the preparation or setting out of a lunch, do up the food in individual packages. For this type of picnic lunch, have both light and heavy oilled paper on hand. A compact individual salad or jellied meat may be placed in a substantial paper drinking cup. Do up assorted sandwiches, rolls and cakes in light-weight paper. Eggs, cold meat and pickles need heavier wrapping. All fruit should be washed and wrapped, sometimes in two thicknesses. If the meal must be a hearty one and there is some motor transportation, carry a thermal can filled with hot soup, a cold drink, hot stew, to suit the weather and the appetites. Too great a variety in the foods for any children's picnic must be avoided. Excitement runs high at such a time, and children are apt to stuff without thinking. Use as much whole wheat bread as possible. Hard cooked eggs stuffed with finely-diced green vegetables are filling and will help to supply the vitamins so often lacking in the average picnic basket. Menu Breakfast Do not attempt to add the festive effect with ginger ale. Take instead an unopened bottle of milk and 'a can of any of the good prepared cocoas, and produce your ston, Matilda Neely, Olleyne Graves, Marye Watts, Reggie and Alexander Long, Ernest and George Ferguson, John Neal and Walter Boxer.

It would seem that the trouble, which had been growing for some time between Mrs. Ida Anderson and the management of the Lincoln Theatre, came to a head when it was definitely decided that Mrs. Anderson had reached the end of her usefulness as the one to procure and present the dramatic sketches which had previously found so much favor at the hands of the Lincoln Theatre audiences. In an impassioned appeal to the audience from the stage Mrs. Anderson stated that she was not being treated as she thought she should be and asked those in the audience to see her side of the controversy. She stated that the management had failed to give her the opportunity which she craved for presenting the best; also that her co-workers were sliding with the management. A direct appeal to race had its effect, as the audience howled and hooted after she left the stage and refused to allow the performance, to continue for the time being. Those connected with the theatre tried, without success, to quiet the people, and it was at this juncture that it was thought best to call in the police. Mrs. Anderson's appearance before the people with her speech is said to have been done without the knowledge of those on the stage and the Lincoln management, and only when they realized what she was doing did they wake up to the fact that her bystander of the night previous had its culmination in her sudden decision to appear in what many term "Her Lead Appearance," for that act of the workwoman ended for all time her work at the Lincoln Theatre. Statement by Inez Clough Signed by Lincoln Theatre Players, Stating Their Side STUCK BY MRS. ANDERSON It would seem that the management tried for the past month to induce Mrs. Anderson to secure small jobs which she could not get. Her workers were all agreed that the management knew best what they could afford and decided to continue to appeal to the people in the draw. Falling to offer them anything the management secured the kind of playlets which they state Mrs. Anderson claimed she could not produce the distribution of the parts to the various people. Worked up to a great extent over what she claimed was an injustice. Mrs. Anderson almost went into the theatre, the army of theatre and fainted. What she revived was importunate to continue in her part in "The Love of Shu Shong," and everybody thought she had decided to reach an agreement with the theatre, continuing as part of the entertainment at the Lincoln. But on Wednesday came what so many term the "real dramatics," when the police were called in to play their police role and to hand their appearance on the stage of the Lincoln. The management of the theatre, in a statement to this paper, claim that they have at all times desired to keep the playlets, but could not afford the expense of trying to present the heaviest plays from week to week. It had all along been an accepted fact that the revues would continue in conjunction with the playlets, and at no time, they stated, did they consider changing the entire policy of the revues to a dual, despite the laudable efforts to put on heavy shows. Thirty-minute sketches were what they wanted, they claim, and, since Mrs. Anderson could not get them, they "took the bull by the horns," they claimed the sketches themselves. This, they also, in the seat of the trouble, as Mrs. Anderson saw the waning of her ver; saw herself in parts whereby she would be given an opportunity to "state" saw the securing knowledge which would be the purpose without the heavy outweigh which could not afford. The entire company which appalled her engagement claim that her statements from the stage were wrong and misleading. Some of the people in the company also claim that she failed to the fact, they allage, that she failed to treat them with the consideration which they feel they are entitled to. The company and efforts will be made to secure another leading lady.

ANDERSON Says Theatre Management Used No Persuasion in Getting Them to Remain We, the members of the Ida Anderson Stock do, in face of the accusations hurled at us from the stage of the Lincoln Theatre Wednesday afternoon, May 9, feel called upon, in justice to us all, to publicly refute every charge that was hurled at us. The fact that we have been loyal to Mrs. Anderson and answered her call at any time she has chosen to make one, seems to have but little weight with her. Three years ago Mrs. Anderson wired me in that Detroit to join her in that town. When Mrs. Anderson decided to try and revive the interest of drama in Harlem we all rallied to her in a debtlessness to us, and all only too glad to be able to assist her in such a wonderful effort. The fact that were all ready and willing to Monte Hawley and Mr. Billy Andrews, two most promising young men that comprise the Negro profession today, vorsathe and adapta Lawrence Chenault and our own Lawrence Chenault Mrs. Anderson felt that she wanted to have her company A-1 in every respect, sent for Mr. Charles Olden, a position in Indianapolis to join her. We worked with one effort in view, to make our company a splendid one, and I think that I can safely say, even in the face of being established ourselves as favorites. Most having played here for six weeks, Miss Hilda Offley refused an offer from Law Leslie for his own production of "Blackbirds at a splendid salary—twice as much or more than the salary of Mrs. Anderson. She refused the part because there was no one available at such short notice for Mrs. Anderson to get and, not wishing to inconvenience her, Miss Offley remained against a keen desire to return to Chicago to see Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Down asked Mrs. Anderson to put on thirty-minute sketches. Mrs. Anderson replied it was impossible to find these plays. Mrs. Down replied it was impossible to go on under the same condition, as the overviews were so costly that it was pictures so a deduction be made. Mrs. Anderson refused and, without our knowledge, gave notice to us on the ensuing Sunday. We all wanted to do work and of course we was necessary for me to work. Mrs. Downs, after receiving Mrs. Anderson's decision, called us in the office, one by one, asking us if we would do work for each of us told her the same thing. We couldn't give her a decided answer until we had consulted with Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Anderson get no satisfaction from Mrs. Anderson, and after bogging her to remain and she refused, we all agreed to remain and continue to work for Mrs. Downs, after finding Mrs. Anderson had nothing for us to use on the part of the management. I hope the public will see both sides of the story without prejudice and judge accordingly. Signed: NIEZ CLOUGH, HILDA OFFLY, GILLIAN GEMEN, SLICK WUSTER, MOMTE H.

Union Prevented Performers Appearing at the Howard Theatre BY LOUS LANTIER. (Special to N. Y. Amsterdam News.) WASHINGTON, D. C. May 12— Organized labor stopped the mid- night show for the benefit of the Florence Mills' memorial fund at the Howard Theatre last Tuesday eight. bill (Bojangles) Robinson tele- vision night that he would be unable to come here for the performance, had promised positively to ap- pose. Rather than have the theatre-going public disappointed by the failure of foururtist stars to appear, foururtist managers called the show off. Over $1,200 was refunded to ticket holders. Fred Pelham, business agent of the National Alliance of the Theatre National Alliance of the Theatre Stage Employees and Moving Pictures Machine Operators, and Joseph R. Branson, of the American Institute, had to have caused "boojangles" to decide not to come to Washington. They notified all acts, which were advertised to appear, that there is a road call against the Howard Theatre, and that the affiliated body who worked in this house would be subject to action by his organization. Every act on the program belongs to one of the affiliated organizations, the National Theatreists' Association or the Actors' Equity, which are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Besides "Bojangles" stars advertised to appear, Judy Hood, Peter and Bombreft from the Earla Theatre, Laneta Lane and a group of players from the National Theatre players, a stage revue from the Fox Theatre and stage revue from the Chicago Theater, two time houses, S. D. Huffy was to have been the master of ceremonies. When the International Alliance became active, "Bojangles" was in Chicago. He had telegraphed that the Chicago Theater would be wired the Chicago local, and "Bojangles" was advised that the Howard Theatre is on the organized labor blacklist. Bojangles" wired the manager of the Howard Theatre Tuesday night as follows: "After being billed and promising positively to appear tonight for the Florence Mills' memorial fund an oncologist you can watch you once you really understand Mr. Lew Leille, Florence Mills' former manager, has engaged me to join the famous 'Blackbirds' to perpetuate the name Mills Mills made in 1912. I will be willing to come down to Washington any Sunday you choose at my expense to make good to our friends and patronizers for this unavoidable disappointment. Heartiest and best all. Bill (Bojangles) Robinson." "The Howard Theatre was not interested financially in the Florence Mills' memorial fund show. The use of the funds for his employees had been donated. A. E. Lightman, director of the Howard and Lincoln Theatres, declared Wednesday, said that he was skeptical about the whole affair because of his previous experience with "Bojangles." He stated that he would never have permitted the use of the Howard Theatre if he had not repaired the arm from "Bojangles" April 25 stating that he would positively appear. He was furious because of the action of Pelham. "It Pelham has the power to make the theatres, why take it on the Florence Mills' memorial?" he asked. When his attention was directed to the theatres, he noted that they had nothing against the Florence Mills' memorial fund. He stated that they had pointed out to the New York City board both of New York, who arranged for the show here, that other theatres, the Republic, the Belasco, Kath's and the Strand, could be had. Mr. Polham admitted, however, that they had kept secret their plans for fear that they would miscarry if they became known. Carr admitted to use another theatre until Tuesday morning in a conference at the Musicians' Hall. Mr. Lichtman is ready for a finish fight with the unions. "We are going to win," he muses. "We see so fit," he says. "If public sentiment is with us, we will win. If it is against us, we will lose." Lincoln Players Offer Fine Sketch All This Week Continuing their work at the New Lincoln Theatre, the dramatic players are putting on "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse," which will be followed by another short sketch next week. As if nothing occurred to mar the even tenor of things at this house, the players go through their work with a vim and dash that promises to keep them to the fore. The part of the Lincoln bill for the latter is "The Road to Romance." The picture, which is based on the celebrated story by Joseph Conrad, has been invisibly produced, giving the actors a background for the dramatic action. More than a thousand extraces, most of them Mexicans and Spaniards, appear in the big scenes. Nowroar is seen at his best in the role of a young soldier, Jose Armando, ready with blonde or brawn to defend his indulge. Miss Day, seen as the gentlewoman on a great Cuban estate, is very noteworthy. In fact, she looks not only worn fighting for, but worth dying for. The picture contains much of the element of melodramatic adventure, which also contains the little love weimuth which make any picture worth while.

There is a laugh every minute of the way the prologue and two parts of the show. The fun is not confined to seasene below the Mason-Dixon line, but laughs aplenty are provided in sketches that the band has performed on "Fors," one of the season's dramatic hits, was well done. "Bear Cat Jones' Last Fight," "Getting Away According to Boyle" and "Playing According to Boyle" were spanned for if nothing else the "Blackbirds of 1928" will be talked about for the speed of its dancing. Numble feet that can demonstrate the new Sid Leslie production, the Platation Orchestra, with Aille Ross conducting, is a group of fine musicians. The leading members of the cast are Andy Ward, Tim Moore, and they well deserve the applause they were given. But a large part of the attraction of Blackbirds of 1928 is to be found in the songs written by Fields wrote the lyrics of the show and Jimmy McHugh the music.

The music is rendered by twelve master musicians, under the leadership of Stanley Bennett. From the moment the show opened at the Monday matinee and the stage had been across the stage to take their place, the audience went "wild." From the opening chords of the stirring overture through all the fun in the circus, the audience rushed through Willie Jackson's ring in airplane, "Spirit of Aficion," and the languorous dances in Mexico, there was a succession of laughter and applause before they had so many performers show off "almost every one of the "principal's" getting a tumultuous reception as they finished their show."

There was no roiling or disorder. The public simply refused to hear the management or any of my company—the majority of the audience walking out and many of them demanding their money back when they realized that they were not going to see the drama, and the only disturbance was caused by the management when they at first refused to return the money. Mr. Olden has publicly accused me of owing him eight hundred dollars on a former contract, and also four hundred dollars on this one hero. I wish to deny that, as Mr. Olden was still in my debt to the extent of fifty dollars, having heavily overdrawn his salary before and since his arrival. There are many other things Mr. Olden has said which he must answer in court. One thing more: I wish the public to know emphatically that Lawrence Chenault had no part in this affair; also Mr. Landez, a new member of my company—both standing by me loyally. And now, the following is what I said to the public standing before the curtain last Wednesday afternoon: "Ladies and Gentlemen: I have an announcement to make to you which hurts me very much, but which, nevertheless, must be made because it concerns you and concerns me; because you are colored and I am, and I tell my story to you, if the management tries to interfere, I am going to ask your support in demanding the management permit you to hear me. they have received their salaries, but Ida Anderson still has hers to get, because the amount given me each week barely covered the expenses of my production. It did not mean anything to them that Ida Anderson was being kicked into the street. They only thought of bread and butter for themselves—but Ida Anderson could starve. Imagine my ages when I came into the theatre Wednesday morning and saw my players rehearsing for the following week's show and do it." "This Sunday night the Ida Anderson players will close in this house. That is, Ida Anderson will step out, though most of my company will remain. Mrs. Downs feels that she cannot pay $600 a week for the dramatic show that the Ida Anderson players have been giving to the Army ago. I came to the Lincoln Theatre with dramatic sketches at a great sacrifice to prove to Mrs. Downs and the other theatre managers of Harlem that the people want better things; did want dramatic shows, and I was promised Mrs. Downs that if I made good and proved to her my claims that they have their money, and you people who have money and Anderson and her players at this house know only too well how I have succeeded. "You have come here week after week to see the dramatic shows and have shown me that you did appreciate and enjoy the dramatic shows, but Mrs. Downs has refused me any real money. At least five weeks ago concerned the front of the home my company, and I went to Mrs. Downs and asked her for a written contract, saying that I did not feel safe to go on any longer without one. I asked her for a small guarantee of $8000 which she refused. I asked even to give me $7000. a seeked to have had to go out on Monday afternoon to a haggle and argue on the price of my incoming show. "Mrs. Downs did not want Ida Anderson to continue, but she wanted Ida Anderson's players; so the different members of the management of any people time and again telling them how many business, talking with them and trying to influence them against me. "Two weeks ago I called my company in a conference and told them what the front of the house was aiming at, to get Ida Anderson out, that they will come to you and ask you to work, and I am telling you this because I want to know where I want to you as your manager; whether you are going to stand with me and out on the road or accept any offer you have to the front of the house. My entire company assures me that they were with me and that Mrs. Downs could do no business with them without me. And so Monday night when I went to the front of the house to get the price on my incoming show, Mrs. Downs told me that she did not want me to continue because she had a man that had the Shoe shows that she wanted and that she didn't continue further. I Lincoln had and stepping out of the Lincoln building because I have worked hard here with my company and we all need a change, where we wouldn't have to play so hard, that is three shows a day, so I quietly accepted Mrs. Downs' dismissal and went home. next day to talk to the theatre the next day to talk my players that we would close her a Sunday night and open in Philadelphia on the 21st. I did not get a chance to tell them anything because as stepped in the theatre one or two times my company came to me and told me what the front of the house had said: "That they were through with Anderson and asked them if they would come to the theatre if Mrs. Anderson had said to me that they told Mrs. Riggin said to me that they told Mrs. Riggin certainly did want to work, and Mrs. Anderson didn't any place for them to open the following Monday, they certainly would stay with them. Mrs. Riggin said to them, "Suppose Mrs. Anderson does not want you to or will not want you to, what then? They told me what did Anderson thought, that the argument could depend upon them." When my players told me this, I was dumbfounded and stunned. I had chance to tell them of the plans I had for them and an alliance elsewhere because they had just finished telling me what they had accepted. Mrs. Riggin told my players that if they could not play for the following week that she would have to get another company together to get everybody shows how impossibly it is to dominate a company to be gotten together at a moment's notice. But my players neither demanded that I remain among them or called Mrs. Riggin's biff to get another company, or of these players that I brought here. I had to treen weeks ago had not worked for weeks and weeks, but each week IDA ANDERSON WRITES IN HER OWN DEFENSE Many Performers Died During Past Few Weeks they have received their salaries, but Ida Anderson still has hers to get, because the amount given me each week barely covered the expenses of my production. It did not mean anything to them that Ida Anderson was being kicked into the street. They only thought of bread and butter for themselves—but Ida Anderson and starve. Imagine my feelings when I was on the Wednesday morning and saw my players rehearsing for the following week's show and Ida Anderson was out! The hurt is so deep that I feel that I can never get over it, but my company feels that I am not justified in being hurt; they feel that I should continue through the week, hugging through eighteen more shows. I may retain a salary at the end of week which time Ida Anderson will be kicked into the street and nennies. "The management felt that by having my players, that I had used to make a success and help to build up the Lincoln Theatre business, that that was all they needed; that they could easily eliminate Ida Anderson; that they could get on to tell them, tell the public that Ida Anderson was too ill to appear and you would be seeing the very people that Ida Anderson had brought there and made and who had become favorites of yours. Too many things like this happen and the people like them are wrong or wrong of it. The newspapers cannot or do not publish the right of it because they do not get it straight. "You will hear a story from this person and a story from the other person and read about it in the newspapers and you will wonder what is the truth. But in this in-room, you do not want you to wonder, and that is what we need for your patience in hearing me. You all know the sort of production that Ida Anderson has given you and I want you to know that my public is the whole life! I have given my life for my public and I would gladly for my public: If I ever have to go to the stage again for you, I will for your support, but I do not feel that this will ever happen, because I don't think I will ever get over the blow given, and so I feel justified in saying to you there will be no more performances of the "Love of Su" being presented by the Ida Anderson Film Festival, you for the wonderful support that you have given me and thank you for listening to what I have said." As Ida Anderson left the stage, the house shook with applause. In appreciation of her supreme effort. One or two members of the management then came before the curtain and tried to talk but the audience would have nothing of them. Then the members of her company came out and they were hooted off; nor would the people be quieted until Anderson came back on the stage and asked her, for her sake, to let the out of the go on. They gladly accepted Mr Anderson's request for quiet and let the rest of the musical show continue, but hundreds of people got up and walked out of the house, for they realized that they were not going to see what they came there for; namely, the dramatic production. I wish to thank the public who have supported my shows and have laid the groundwork for our stance. My heart goes out in grateful kindness and I thank you.

Joe Alex, ex-founding partner of Josephine Baker, is now appearing at the Kursaal. Harry Welman has returned from South America. He and his dancing partner will begin an engagement at the Olympia on May 4. Frank Wither's Orchestra has the "distinction" of working on the "latest" job in town. The well-known orchestra leader and trombonist has two regular engagements. In the evening his organization plays at the fashionable Carlton Hotel. From there they go to the Capitol Cabaret, where they play their opening number at three o'clock in the morning. Jack Taylor, the light-heavyweight fighter, has gone to Tunis, via Marseilles, where he will fight Giovanni, the Franco-Italian pugilist, on Sunday, May 6. The latter is under the direction of Francis Descapia, former manager of Georges Carpentier, the revue and vaudeville star. Taylor fought fifteen times in 1327, and so far has had three fights this year. Arthur Briggs, the distinguished cornetist and orchestra director, has arrived here from Vienna and Berlin. Briggs is famous in Berlin. He has played in the finest hotels and night clubs and recorded regularly for two of the best phonograph companies. Last summer, while the writer was studying in the German capital (Briggs was playing at the Hotel Eden), a distinguished German conductor and teacher said: "Briggs plays the cornet like Kreisler plays the violin." Mr. Briggs who was a member of the original New York orchestra Orchestra under the direction of Will Marion Cook, has studied at the Royal College of Music, London, and at the Royal Conservatoire at Brussels. Jimmy Brown, the middleweight boxer, expects to return to New York this summer. He told the writer that he is one of those chosen to train Jack Dempsey. He is now awaiting a communication from the ex-champion. An article appeared in the New York Herald several days ago praising the work of our popular idol of the stage, Paul Robeson. Robeson began the engagement with "Show Bont" at the Drury Lane, London, on Thursday, May 3. Many articles are appearing in the different Paris journals concerning our beautiful Ruth Bayton. Within the last four days two live shows at the New York Harlem. On April 25 the Herald stated: "The American colored dancer, Miss Ruth Bayton, who is now appearing at the Follies Wagram and who is scheduled to appear this summer at a French Channel resort, will LINCOLN THEATRE Lencz Avenue, at 135th Street WEEK COMMENCING MONDAY, MAY 21st Lincoln Dramatic and Musical Players Present "YOU TELL 'EM" Starring JOHN MASON AND CRACKSHOT LINCOLN PLAYERS PRESENT "THE TRAIL OF THE YUKON" A Red-Blooded Play of the North On the Screen Thursday to Sunday RAMON NOVARRO in "The Road to Romance" return to the United States after her latter engagement and start a beauty and dancing contest among her own people in order to find a competent partner. Before taking up dancing as a profession Miss Bayton worked as a nounographer in Virginia, where she was born. A New York city she offered a prize, to the most beautiful colored woman; in the United States and Miss Bayton was chosen. Miss Bayton believes in the efficacy of this method of finding not only beauty but talent, since she owes the start of her career to the same paper stated on April 20: "Ruth Bayton, who was a member of Florence Mills' company and who has danced in New York and Berlin, is now in the Quarter (meaning the Latin Quarter of Paris). She will appear in Ostend this summer. Miss Bayton states to establish prices for colored art exhibitions, Fellowship awards and will occupy herself with that idea upon her return to the United States." Colored Magician Making Good Among those present at the recent annual reunion of the International Syndicate of Magicians at the Cafe Garde Nationale, this city, was Mr. Harry Edwards, native of Xenia, O., who has been living in France for the last eight years. Mr. Edwards appeared as a magician in several of the leading halls in Paris and the provinces. Abandoning the stage he has been for the last four years manager of the household of the Vicomtesse de Janze, one of the wealthiest members of the French nobility. At the invitation of Mr. Edwards, the Paris representative of the Amsterdam News was present, and was introduced to the guests, after which the chairman, M. Agosta Meynler, the president of the syndicate, ordered champagne to be served and drunk to his honor and that of the Negro press in the United States. Another Negro magician present was M. Holle of the Cameroons. Several stories were told by the magicians later, one of which by M. Meynier is the following: A magician in North Africa had just performed the well-known trick of taking two pigeons, one white, the other black, and after "cutting off their heads" placed the head of the black on that of the white and vico versa, leaving both alive. The native suitan marvelling at the trick next day sent for the magician and taking out two of his pigeons one white, one other white ordered him to for them just what he had done for the pigeons. At this the magician, saying that he had to return home for certain of his apparatus, got on the first horse he could, and galloped away to the frontier as fast as he could. M. & S.

A. ROGERS. PARIS, May 3—A appearing at the present time at the Empire Theatre in a Eddie Burks, dandy song and anco artist. Mr. Burks is one of the hottest dancers on the stage today, and dresses in a manner, both on and off stage, that excites the envy of the dancers. A lady who was little near me seeing him dance continue to exclaim: "Quel chic garçon," "Quel dame, dancer," finally asking me dancer, "Marinique." Later when I saw Mr. Burks in his dressing-room and told him of the incident he said: "I hope you told her where I was from." He is a native of Boston, Mass. Eddie Burks has appeared in most of the leading vaudeville houses in Paris, as well as at some of the leading theaters and cabarets, among them being the ambassadors, Palermo, Florida, Zellos', Jano Aubert's, Bals de l'Opera, and at the National Opera House. He has also danced on the Riviera at Maxim's, the Casino at Monte Carlo, and at Cannes. He showed me a three months' contract with the Vivillon in London, England, during what time he is to appear at the Trocaillon. He has received offers to appear in Madrid and Milan, and while we were his dressing-room a theatrical agent, he inimagery to get his services for a new cabaret to be opened in Montmartre. He is also well known on the American vaudeville stage, having danced on the B. F. Keith Western Circuit, appearing at the Palace at 47th and Broadway. For four years he also danced at the Cotton Club, New York City. Most of his act is usually done dance rest is with his dancing partner Poland. Opposite of social equality, and their echoes of socialism, the folk will at once demand why doesn't he get a colored woman to dance with him? So it might be to explain that that also is a part of the Ruth Walker Reported Dead Many Performers Have Passed Away During the Past Few Weeks Here News coming here from Europe brings the information that Ruth Walker is dead. Within the next few days this matter will be investigated by one of the Amsterdam News correspondents now on the news network, quite a number of performers have passed on, most prominent among the batch being Slim Henderson, well known entertainer who was working at the Lincoln Theatre up to the time he took sick, and was buried Sunday.

Dog Star Obeys Command to Kill in Deadly Earnest It takes nerve to act within a yard of an enormous police dog who has the order from his master to kill the actor. That is what William Fairbanks did every day at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, when he played the role of a brutal German army officer in "Under the Black Eagle," the initial starring vehicle for Flash, the new movie about a soldier sent to the screen in a story of dog heroism at the front during the World War.

He is dark, she very fair, and the simple-minded Europeans, seeing few Negroes really think they are enjoying a novelty. We told of a similar instance in Rotterdam where a Negro named Wellman, was danced at the leading vaudeville home there with a wife of an Englishwoman, and the simple-minded Dutchman, had the pair billed as a "Black and White Act." They do not know that in America where there are plenty of Negroes such a dance would be the real novelty, a sensation, except the Negro appeared as a clown or flunkey. Later we saw Milla Dorshava, a supporter blonde, in her dress-room. She was enthusiastic about the daming of her partner. and is looking eagerly forward to the time when Mr. Burks is returning to America to appear with him there. We told her that we felt sure that he would be very warmly welcomed that there would be a shot. Further into the truth we did not have the heart to go. Mr. Burks is booked by William Morris.

Confidences Questions and Answers BY EGYPSY ANN His Wife Isn't Affectionate Dear Eggypsy Ann: I am 16 my age, have been married to my second wife eighteen years, have always been of an affectionate disposition. In fact, I am I have an overgrown boy. When was first married I always embraced and kissed her on coming home from work, but her only greeting to me was to turn the left cheek for me to kiss—with no response, just as I might kiss the door facing my apartment. Thanks to my love of work, I have always been in a position to provide a comfortable family. I require very little attention from my wife, and get less. Not once in eighteen years has my wife voluntarily kissed me. When I return home from a day of struggle and worry over business affairs and attempt to converse with my beloved (?), wife about my troubles and anxiety, she takes her self off to her room and bed, with never a suggestion. I cannot but feel that my wife looks upon me only as a meal ticket. I have survived with beautiful books and a comfortable home, and yet during all these years she has been a veritable iceberg. Thought I am advanced in years, my wife is not a "chicken." Somehow I feel the need of love and sympathy more now than I did when I was a younger man. Had it not been for my business perhaps I would have turned to drink or some other woman, but I have consoled myself with hard work and attention to my affairs. As I grow older, however, I long for a real companion. Yours, "Mr. fairly, "DISCONTENTED" Doesn't this help to show that bubby appreciates affection? Men will be boys, you know. If the women folks want to hold them, 'well they'd better be girls. If you feel he himself him and hisosity his desires, be fair and square and don't marry him.

ROUZEAU Anita Patti Brown's Recital All too sedum do we hear a soprano singing so invariably true to pitch with such eloquent and refined control of consonantal tones and with such a remarkable display of messa-dvice and portamento it her musicianship as was offered by Patricia Brown in her recital Monday evening at St. Mark's Church. The audience of more than 600 applained her continuously and for once the indispensable listeners were hustified in their applause. For an example of vocal efficiency and progressive tonal technique, we point out Mine, Brown to the host of soprano who napire to achieve unduring and disserving popularity. She sang beautifully in portamen to—easing her voice through the semblance of tone scales between a tone attacked and the one to be at tacked. Her secret lies, of course her control of beautiful rounded tones, and the guard for her own peculiarities in proper breath-taking, and her refusal to pose mentality or vocally on the cansing tone until she had concluded her attack on the last. There was one exception to this rule and it was evidenced in her viola Moirir" (If I could do so) Jeanne Moirir" (If I could do so) Judith this score she showed a tendency to enter gutural sounds while "interpreting the lower passages, and improving the semblance of strained breathing and artificially of tone coloring, which was completely erased, however in her following introduction of Della Ana's "Villanelle" She sang excerpts from the works of Brahms, Gounod, Handel, Arne, Meyerbeer and others and rendered her spirituals in holiday fashion. Burnerdene Mason At Town Hall Bernerdine Mason, dramatic contrata of Orange, New Jersey, and a product of the Wilson Lamb Studio of that city, gave her recital last Wednesday evening at Town Hall. From a source so close to her as to be almost official, we learned that Miss Mason was under a nervous strain and, therefore, not at her best. The New York American critic she as follows: "Miss Mason's voice is luscious, velvety and lightly sympathetic. Her equipment and versatility are broad, for she did fair credit to songs by Russian, American and French composers." The New York World states that her spirituals were far more satisfying than anything else she offered, and goes on to say: "She has a voice of some natural beauty when not forced and twisted into grotesque writings of real discordant when they were not a artificial. Her diction was exaggeratedly clear, and the metallic resonance of her lower tones seemed out of place." The New York Tribune agrees that Miss Mason has one of the finest natural voices heard this season, but states that, "unfortunately, it is not enhanced by other musical resources." The New York Times reviewed her as follows: "Burnerdine Mason is a singer of genuine vocal gifts, seriously employed but not yet wholly controlled." Corn Wynn Alexander was her accompanist. The Students' Literary Guild of Brooklyn sponsored its first musicale of the season Sunday afternoon at the Tri-City Studio, 290 Greene avenue. Brooklyn. A program of spirituals and creole songs was offered by the following singers: Walden Wallace, Matthew Walker, sopranos, and Jean Wallace and Dorothy Walker, contralto. A rather varied program, comprised of vocal and instrumental talent, was offered Sunday afternoon at the Rendall Presbyterian Church. It was given in connection with regular Sunday afternoon educational training, numbers were offered by the Walkins Music School Orchestra, the Harlem Harmony Trio, the Glbrater Choral Club and by Mrs. May Quawn, cornetist. A number of selective recitations was offered by Dr. Ardelle M. Dabney and Mime. Etta Green. Melvins vocal soloist, and several others also contributed to the program. A program of musical and literary features was offered Sunday afternoon at the West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. in connection with a Mother's Day program. The following articles were heard: Prof. and Mrs. Samuel Dalkin, pianist and recitalist, respectively, and DeWalt Spencer and Gilbert Holland, vocalists. Mme. A. B. Jefferson Ware, pianist, will give her fourth annual recital at the home of the Unique Colony Circle of America, 254 West 125th street, on May 25.

William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, spoke Sunday afternoon upon subject of "Youth, the Church and the Choice of a Career" at the meeting of the Annual Guide Right Movement at St. Mark's P. E. Church, 137th street and St. Nicholas avenue, sponsored by the Omiron Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Fai Praterity. James Egert Allen, local director of the movement, presided and outlined Kappa's public educational program. He stated that although the greatest indictment against college fraternities was their allegedobstinence, aloofness and disdain of the outside fellow, the Negro fraternities were more tolerant than the fraternities, have taken a deep interest in the masses of their race as evidenced in Negro business, history and go-to-college weeks and the guide right movement. The purpose of the latter is to enable high school boys and girls to "find themselves" by helping them make a wise choice of a career, he said, thus placing before them a definite objective and pro-operative incentive for their college work and life. The Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's Church, introduced the Rev. Dr. Imes. "There is no more important question before the world today," said the Rev. Mr. Ines, "than that of capturing the earnest, adventurous and enthusiastic spirit and imagination of youth. It should be gently guided in the right direction and given a new impulse."

Adams School at Contestville, Pa.) the best all-around weight man ever to attend the Olympics, has announced that he will enter the Open Championships in the discussion. The Howard management has received a large number of requests for blanks from individual performers, clubs, clubs and schools.

MANY TEAMS SEEN IN ACTION LAST SUNDAY Lincoln and Cheney Capture Hampton Meet TENNIS Fort the past two years the development of tennis in New York City has been retarded if not at a complete standstill, due to the lack of available facilities. We have treated at length in the past on this phase of the New York City tennis situation, with the goal of stimulating interest among tennis players, even in areas, not served, to allowate this deplorable condition. Since the loss of the E. and S. tennis courts in 1926, New York City has been without available facilities until this condition caused a generous disorganization among the clubs, and this means among tennis players, nothing has materialized in meeting its need. In contrast to the tennis players of the Empire City as the tennis players of the progress of the game. In past years the players have canned and hardly gave an excuse for its existence. The Empire City Association, and in the main they might have been justified because the organization then had no program and hardly gave an excuse for its existence. But in remedied, the present regime have had a program and have sought the cooperation and support of the tennis players to put it through, with no suc- During the 1957 season plans were made by the New York Tennis Association to raise money to purchase enough equipment for the Holding Corp., a subsidiary of the New York Tennis Association, incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. The organization has tried on many occasions to interest the rank and file of tennis players in the project, to no avail, and the results have been no counts for 1958. It was funded by the NYTA Holding Corp., or the New York Tennis Association, may be open to criticism or improvement, but this does not excuse the lack of cooperation on the part of the Association to put forward some plan with the view of securing permanent courts for the development of our young players, and the carrying on of the business. There must be some unexplainable thing among Negroes of New York City that prevents them from doing things that will be of permanent good to the community. A shilling example is the lack of suitable temples, or meeting places for our fraternal organizations, the lack of a race bank in the community, or a club house among our politicking. There are many hundreds of tennis players in New York City, and hundreds more who would like to play if they come when New York will wake up and keep pace with the rest of the country in things done. *Os are we content to keep on talking, and doing little?* We would be pleased to hear from some of the tennis players and perhaps pick up a suggestion or two that might be helpful. Courtney and McVey Ready for Big Clash Law Raymond, matchmaking director for the Cony Island Stadium, has completed his card for the opening show on Friday, May 24th.

Randolph comes from Tulsa, Olin, highly recommended. Ted Moses, colored welterweight for former amateur champion, will open his fourth-round event.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1928 BACHARACHS COP TWO GAMES Walop Farmers on Latter's Home Grounds in Double-Header The Bacharach Giants made 22 hits and 19 runs in trouncing the Farmers in both ends of a doubleheader at Farmers Oval Sunday. The colored nine won the first game by a score of 13 to 8 and the second by 6 to 1. The visitors sued up the first contest in the first frame, when they scored 11 runs, driving Wiley from the mound. Fourteen men faced Wiley and Boylan in this frame, and the result was 11 hits and a base on balls. Only one player home runs, one by Dallarq and one by Farrell, while White contributed a triple. Boylan hold the Giants well in the rest of the contest, but the 11-run handicap was too much for the Farmers to overcome. In the second contest Jimmy Pattonson blow up after holding the ball. His wildness led to four runs for the visitors. Pattonson issued eight passes in all. The scores: FIRST GAME. B.A.R. H. O. A.E.

"My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

He is a long columnist in the United States; he is a great name of preacher, he is one of the most in American life. If his preaching is one if he is known chiefly as a debunker, it such an enormous mass of bunk to combat country is, it has accumulated enough big self-complacency to keep a dozen Brothers READERS naturally warm to him because the few white publicists who makes understand them; who does not approach made up in advance. White people generally know all about the Negro; Broun admits thing and tries to learn. Whatever man this quarrel with The World, his reader World, not Broun, is the loser. NANA AFARI ATTA, a native African, is going to London to be made a knight of the British Empire by King George. It is not because of services to the English, for he has definitely opposed the idea of Europeanizing the natives. He wants them to keep their own culture; he refuses even to wear European clothes. He is one of the biggest men in the Gold Coat colony and the chief man of its legislative council. This colony produces nearly half the cocoa consumed in the world. THERE, perhaps, is the catch in the whole thing—the cocoa. Probably the English merchants cannot get at the cocoa as freely as they would like, because this man is in the way. They cannot scare him; they are too wise to kill him. So they make him a knight. There are more ways than one to kill a cat—or to get control of cocoa. BROUN AND THE WORLD THE RETIREMENT of Heywood Broun from The New York World is a distinct loss to journalism. He is not only the leading columnist in the United States; he is a great force for truth. Though he never stood in a pulpit and would decline the name of preacher, he is one of the most effective preachers in American life. If his preaching is on the negative side, if he is known chiefly as a debunker, it is because there is such an enormous mass of bunk to combat. Young as this country is, it has accumulated enough bigotry, hypocrisy and self-complacency to keep a dozen Brouns busy for life. NEGRO READERS naturally warm to him because he is one of the few white publicists who makes an honest effort to understand them; who does not approach them with his mind made up in advance. White people generally assume that they know all about the Negro; Broun admits that he knows nothing and tries to learn. Whatever may be the merits of his quarrel with The World, his readers will feel that The World, not Broun, is the loser.

PROFESSOR DANIELS of Virginia Union University made an eloquent plea for Negro education in his recent address to the Alpha Phi Fraternity at Mt. Olivet Church. He sees education as a means to a higher civilization, as a torch to illumine the achievements of the past, and as a dynamic element to increase earning power and solve personal problems. IN EDUCATION, as in everything else, the Negro has long been a victim of propaganda, and it is sad but true that much of this propaganda has come from Negroes. Not so long ago a great faction of the race delighted in proclaiming the ignorant Negro a marvel of common sense and the educated Negro a fool. They did not see that they were playing directly into the hands of the Negro's enemies THE FIRST THING a conquering race does to hold its victims down is to deny them education. In colonial days Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia bitterly opposed the introduction of schools in the colonies because they would teach the colonists to think for themselves and produce a revolution. In all aristocratic countries the despots have done their best to keep education away from the common people. The Negro's ignorance is the chief reason why he has been so easily imposed upon.

THE DAUGHTERS of the American Revolution recently attracted attention by publishing a blacklist, which included practically every independent thinker in this country. To do them justice, they did not draw the color line; they included Dr. DuBois, Pickens and James Weldon Johnson. Their purpose was to brand certain people as dangerous to America, though their conception of danger was expressed rather vaguely. AS THE SILLY TEAPOT tempest had nothing behind it, a cynic might suspect press agentry. The D. A.

Or, rather, the lack of eligibility to the society was no bar to social advancement. In fact, one suspects, the D. A. R. was something of a joke. Something had to be done, so a list was prepared of those who were deemed unworthy of speaking to the D. A. R. It got into the newspapers, the D. A.

KNOW NEW YORK STATE The first settlement on the Hudson River was made in 1614, when Hendrick Christiaensen, calling from Manhattan Island, established a for-trading post on a small island opposite the site of Albany. The Connecticut River was discovered in 1613 by Adrian Block, a Dutch trader, who voyaged through the East River and into Long Island Sound. He named Block island after himself. The earliest game conservation law in New York State was passed in 1732. The city was passed in 1732 forbidden in the Colony, a lake on lower Manhattan where the Tumbo Prison now stands. The most valuable farm product in the Empire State in 1825 was milk, worth 120 million dollars.

Voters More Independent In an article on "The Negra's Influence as a Voter" published in the May number of "Current History" (Times Square), Herbert J.

He is a graduate of the Atlanta University, from which he received the degree of A.B. in 1916. White made his appearance in Negro literature in 1924 when he published his remarkable novel, "Fire in the Flint." Immediately the book captured the fancies of the public and there were several editions published. He could not, however, remain long marking time, and so he marched forward in 1926 with his second novel, "Flight." Mr. White, who is the assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 58 Fifth Avenue, which returned to the States from Europe, where he was studying. DOES the Negro want justice or does he want jobs? He wants both! The politician seeks jobs rather than justice; the agitator demands justice rather than jobs. The two quests can hardly go together. The Negro office seeker and office holder is oftentimes much maligned and abused for his silence when the rights of the race are at stake. Those who consent to become a part of an administration must support the policies of that administration. This is especially exacted of Negro officials. They are given the reward of office for the very purpose of keeping the Negro race in good humor. They can demand rights and justice for their race only in a limited degree. The job holders, however, have the advantage of being on the inside. They can reach the ear of the court. The politician is in a strategic position, in that he can tell the President and cabinet ministers just how his rare feels concerning any proposed policy or line of procedure. Too often they are disposed to obey the old law of obsequience, and bend the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning. The demand, however, calls for a brand of practical poli- PARIS. IN THIS city of art one of the best-known expositors of tropical art is Mme. Germaine Casse, who is now giving an exhibition of her work on the Rue de Faubourg Montmartre. Mme. Casse, though a Parisienne by birth, is really a daughter of the tropics — both by ancestry and inclination. Although trained in the art schools of France, where she took high honors, she exhibits canvases (and there are scores of them) which deal with West Indian subjects. Mme, Casse is also a frequent exhibitor at the many art expositions here, and several of her drawings have been hung in the great art exhibit of the year, the Spring Salon. Among the most noted of these are "Vague Antillaise." "Nature Mort au Perroquet," "Des Fleurs," "Les Oeillets" and "Le Crabe." As to the ability of Mme, Casse, Henry Berenger, former French Ambassador to the United States and noted art critic, has given so splendid an estimate of her work that we shall give it here in full: "Although she was born in Paris, Mine. Gernainne Casse is a real daughter of the tropics. Her father, the Deputy Gernainne Casse, was born at Pointe-a-Pitre, Ginselope, and in his veins flowed the blood of the tropics. Of this crocule blood his daughter is truly the inheritor. She has brought to art the same fire that her father infused into politics. If the name of her father remains intertwined with the names of Polletan and Clementeau, among those Much has been said about "Flight," but, if the whole truth is to be told, the quality of the novel is contained in its size. I find it hard to select one as being my "pet" novel. They are both so different, yet so interesting and good, "Flight," I believe, brought to light the inner soul of White. A reviewer said that, whereas many American Negro writers have had one novel published, White is the third to see two in print. "Free in the Flint" is a story of race plots in Georgia, carrying ruthless realism of its piling up of the unhappy details. "Flight" has more detachment and less of their indignation. "Flight" is complete in picturing Negro life and love. The more closely I observe White's books, the more I find cause to By KELLY MILLER tleian, who, while seeking jobs in the active voice, will at least keep justice in the background the confirmation against the ace party, the probe A.

Rogers — command his diligent labor, as well as his care and canter in the construction of his plots and the mannersisms of his characters. White's descriptive powers, skill in character analysis, natural humor, and a strong national feeling, give tone to both his novels. I suggest a reading of both books. They are worth the time spent in their personal. And only by reading them will you be able to conceive more faithfully the author's style, ideas, littleness and bigness—and failures. the confirmation of Walter Cohen against the accepted policy of his party, the protest of the South and against his own declaration, because he demeaned the vote of the Louisiana delegation, which Cohen controlled, essential to his renomination. But the reformer who follows the guide of his conscience cannot pay so heavy a price for the sake of office. The Negro has sunk almost to the zero point in the scale of public recognition because he has sought jobs rather than justice. Any people who stand up for their own rights will in the long run receive both respect and recognition. But a people who will barter rights for jobs will soon find themselves without either. But those who temporarily sacrifice jobs for justice will ultimately gain both. There ought to be a comprehensive race statusmanship whereby the politician and agitator might, work together—the one on the inside and the other on the outside of the circle. They both desire the same end—justice and jobs—although they seek that end by different means. The Hon. Perry W. Howard is a politician, and a good one. He acknowledges his scope and limitation. Nevel H. Thomas is a fearless agitator, none more so. When Mr. Thomas sought to break up departmental segregation by outside agitation, he found that Mr. Howard had preceded him by inside persuasion. Each of the Tr found in the atmosphere of Vaucluse and also of Algeria, where she passed several winters, new harmonies of color, Latin and African, that made her decide to take up the art of painting. This natural vocation was instructed, guided and led by the skill of the great colorist, Pierre Grivolas, then director of the School of Fine Arts of Arignan. Here Gernaine Casse took constantly the first prizes. She owes to Pierre Grivolas, vigorous pupil himself of Delacroix, much of her knowledge of values and proportions. "After the harmonies of Provence and the Mediterranean, which illumined her youth, Mme. Cassse then returned to the native sumptuous beauty of Gudeloupe. When in 1920 Mme. Cassse decided to leave her Paris atelier and her friends in Provence to spend two years in the West Indies, she at last found herself in Gudeloupe. She brought Iwami to a vases, which were exhibited in the Georges Petit Gallery, thanks to the titative of M. Andre Schoeller. Several of these paintings of 1922 excited the keenest admiration.

"There are also the sumptuous white and the coruscating topaz of the pineapples, of the cinnastar apple, of red crabs and blue crabs of the tropical seas. How well does Germaine Cassé know to paint, to make alive all this Antilian beauty of which she herself is the sparkling soul. Her large Gundeloupian canvases bring to our French painting a coloring original and strong.

Perry Howard extolled Nevel Thomas and Nevel Thomas extolled Perry Howard. The politician and the agitator met in common recognition of the fact that they are assigned different parts of the same task to secure for the race justice and jobs.

Casse, with its volcano summits clad in green and violet, and from which shoot fires from the burning heart of our planet; emerald isle suspended, as it were, in a tropic sapphire, cooled by soft breezes and inhabited by laughing people, a mixture of three races. As perfect of muscles and of form as the Greek islands are these women on the canvases of Mme. Casse. Perfect because the women of these islands carry, as did the Greek women, the basket and the amphora on their heads in running from the mountain to the sea and from the sea to the mountain; women rich with a blood which flows voluptuously under their skins of amber and ebony. "These women of Guadeloupe and Martinique, with their bright cotton dresses and silk bandanas, are still the living models of the eternal Venus, in the midst of intoxicating tropical loveliness and warmth, perpetually being renewed through the action of sun, volcano, forest and sea. Lafcadio Hearn in literature, Daniel Thaly in poetry, and Germaine Casse in painting have opened to old Europe the new doors of this paradise of beauty. "Daughter of beautiful Guadeloupe, Mme. Casse has given back to her maternal isle all that she owed to, because she brought to it all the sensuous beauty of light and of lines of aesthetic France." There is a total of 140 pieces in the exhibit, all the work of Mme. Casse. The majority of subjects, as was said, deals with the West Indies, but there are several of Provence, Bretagne, North Africa and southern France. Mme. Casse, who is probably not yet thirty, is also a writer of ability. She is contributor to several art periodicals, as well as director of the journal of the Society of West Indian Artists. She also does decorative work for the theatres. Her studio is at 20 bls Rue D'Alosla, Paris.

It was expected with eager curiosity; people wondered whether it would be pro or con. They need not have been excited, for the subject of miscegenation is not worth colored people's worry. Let white people do the worrying; they are the ones who bring it about. We might as well worry because water does not flow uphill. The expected book has arrived and miscegenation is in it. The book is neither pro nor con. It is not loaded down with lengthy arguments on the good or evil of race mixtures; it is neither a plea to be taken into the white race nor a long scream of hate for everything Caucasian; it is a story, and mostly a well-told one. America make her a social triumph in Denmark. For a while she lives in a malden's Paradise But soon her general dissatisfaction with life asserts itself, she grows homeick for black faces and an annoying experience brings matters to a head, and she selizes on an excuse for returning. In her determination to keep to her story the author pares it down more than is necessary. There are places in the book where an author might be forgiven for spreading out into description or philosophizing, but this author yields not to temptation. She cleaves to the line of a personal narrative. Helga Crane, the heroline, is the child of an American Negro and a beautiful Danish woman. This is original and enlightening. It is original because in a mullato parentage the father is generally white and the mother colored. It is enlightening because an Ameri can publisher has cared to issue a book in which a Nordic white woman voluntarily has a child Negro. And the unhappy result of the union is not to the mischaracterized but to the personal character of the man. If Helga's mother had married a decent colored man she would have been happy. But then this story would not have been written. Helga is one of those unfortunate who are born and die dissatisfied. The story begins with her teaching English at Naxos, a Negro school in the South. She stands it for a while, but at length her gorge rises at the narrow life, with its smugness and cant. She quits the place in midterm and goes back to Chicago, where she was born. Her white uncle's white wife is agast at the idea of a Negro niece, so Helga leaves Chicago and comes to New York under favorable conditions. The favorable conditions are—but this is a book review, not a book. Soon Helga begins to hate New York. The reader, unimpathized with so far wonders if there is any place this side of heaven or in heaven, where she will be contented. By a romantic turn of fate, which all girls dream of and few experience, she goes to Copenhagen, Denmark, the home of her mother. There she finds that not only on the question of race, but in everything else, Denmark is different from America. The very things that make her a social outcast in Keeping By E. ELLIOTT RAWLIN —Ring RINGWORM is a very common school children. It is common skin due to a vegetable pear. There are about nine different each produces a different clini worm is found in five different Keeping Fit By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. —Ringworm— RINGWORM is a very common disease, especially among school children. It is contagious. It is a disease of the skin due to a vegetable parasite called tinea tonsurans. There are about nine different varieties of this parasite and each produces a different clinical skin inflammation. Ringworm is found in five different parts of the skin, such as: 1. Ringworm of the non-hairy surfaces of the skin, including the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. 2. Ringworm of the genital region. 3. Ringworm of the scalp. 4. Ringworm of the beard. 5. Ringworm of the nails. This disease is contracted by the interchange of hats and the common use of combs, and other toilet articles. Ringworm has often been contracted by the common use of bathing in bath houses. In school children the contagion spreads by the intimate and close contact of playing and romping. Ringworm, as a rule, involves only the superficial layers of the skin. Occasionally the deeper layers are attacked and the parasite burrows sometimes deep into the follicles and perifollicular tissues of the skin. In hairy regions the fungus of er conversation increases the cost of the call. If the hospitality of household includes access to any utility of the home, it is proper and considerate for a guest to avoid overdoing the act. If for any reason, however, one indulges excessively by making several calls, long distance calls, etc., one should offer to cover the charges on this account. Possibly the hostess will not accept, but it is at least a relief and a pleasure for her to know that within the bounds of her circle of friends and acquaintances honesty, consideration and mutual understanding maintain. The best advice is to foreign telephone calls over the neighbor's phone. Maybe your message will keep until you reach a public phone or your own family phone. sen. Alfred A.

It was sity; people wondered whether y need not have been excited, tion is not worth colored peo- do the worrying; they are the might as well worry because America make her a social trump- um in Denmark. For a while she lives in a maiden's Paradise But soon her general dissatisfie- tion with life asserts itself, she grows homestick for black faces and an annoying experience brings matters to a head, and she seizes on an excuse for returning to America. In the meantime, the man she has always secretly loved has married her best friend. But Helga is still in his blood, and at a party, stimulated by forbidden spirits, he loses his head for a moment. So does Helga. They make an assignation, and Helga blissfully contemplates adultery, but the man gets cold feet. In a rage she slaps him in the face. Who wouldn't? Helga concludes that the thing she has always missed, in Naxos, Chicago, Copenhagen and New York, is biological fulfilment. She has certainly traveled a long way to find out such a simple thing. Then comes the incredible part of the story, which has thus far held the reader by its identity to life. Helga's intelligence deserts her; she snatches what she wants, not indeed, in the worst way, but one the worst, is for a girl of her training to find herself in these. Thus she finds herself in a bog, a quicksand, from which there is no escape. For the rest of her days she will beat her life out against the walls of a prison. The last part of the story, though interesting, is a disappointment. The reader has not been artistically prepared for it. Given such a character as Helga, he finds it hard to fit her into such a picture. He would find it more logical if she had become a courtesan, or at least something by which she might have satisfied her aesthetic tastes. Some girl might have gone down into dreadfulness, but not Helga, unless she was forced. And she was no forced. One of the best things about this story is the author's style, especially in the first chapters. It is fresh, clear and limpid; in its easy, natural, crystal grace there is no striving for effect. If the plot were as good as the style it would raise the story considerably. One feles that a much stronger story could have been written around Helga's Danish mother and the Negro gambler who was Helga's father. Fit S, M.D. worm mon disease, especially among tagious. It is a disease of the rasite called tinea tonsurans, varieties of this parasite and ical skin inflammation. Ring- nt parts of the skin, such as: ten penetrates the entire shaft of the hair, clear to the bottom of the hair follicle. In such cases the disease is very difficult to cure. Ringworm is not always characteristic in appearance, such as completely ringed lesions, cleaning in the center, with slightly or marked inflamed vesicles at the margins of the lesion. In fact, on the non-hairy surfaces of the skin ringworm is seen in five different general groups. Some look like the characteristic lesion, while others are very dis similar. In some the ringworm area is round and not inflamed; in others the affected area of skin is inflamed and elevated and does not seem to clear in the center; in still others the skin is affected in the deep layers and the affected area becomes tough, raised and crusty. Sometimes two or more ringworm areas spread one into the other, forming extensive areas of affected skin. The only subjective symptoms of ringworm are itching and burning of the skin. Ringworm of the scalp is very common. It begins as a small, reddened, scaly spot, which gradually develops, with finally a loss of hair. In some severe cases the ringworm area contains small vesicles and pus. This disease should always be thoroughly treated as early as possible. It spreads to new areas, if untreated.
