A quiet old man who has implicit faith in the powers of the Almighty to guide the striking Negro miners of Pennsylvania out of their present dilemma has arrived in this city with the hopes that by his presence he may enlist the sympathy and material aid of residents here for the relief of the starving families—thousands of them—who have been ejected from the coal company's cottages in Frederickstown, Pa., where he has resided during the past eighteen years. He is the Rev. George W. Hawkins, a miner by vocation, but who has been accustomed to preach the word of God each Sunday since he established in the little mining town. When interviewed at the offices of the Negro Miners' Relief Association in Room 211 at 200 West 135th street he described a woeful scene of misery; he told of films, hastily constructed shacks and barracks, too coarse to keep out the chill or retain the warmth, in which more than forty families, through necessity, were forced to reside. He painted a meticulous and vivid picture of a reign of terror instituted by mine police employed at fancy wages to subigate strikers and strike breakers through terrorism, oppression and cruelty, without fear of intervention by the authorities of the region. He told how Negro labor solicitors were sent out to various sections of the country to entice 5,000 strike breakers by promises of large wages. Instead, he says, they were sent into the bowels of the earth to shovel out at a rate of less than 33 cents per ton. These men, he went on to relate, are not permitted to leave the company's promises, and are forced to purchase all their supplies from the commissary controlled by the coal owners. They were also promised free transportation but after arrival found to their dismay that the WILL Changes The creamy complexion and lovely skin of Florence Mills was one of her great personal charms—an asset that helped her win the admiration of the world.

He described a card system by which the strike breakers tag each truck that they loud, and declared that checkors maintained by the companies steal many of these cards and in this manner rob hundreds of Negro strike breakers out of their daily earnings.

ELECT 6 BISHOPS Union of Leading Negro Branches of Methodism Is Given O.K. by Meeting Union of Leading Negro Branches of Methodism Is Given O.K. by Meeting African Delegate, However, Objects to Dropping Name That Has Helped Church in Missionary Work Balloting Lasted Over 27 Hours CHICAGO, May 21.—A more tangible hope for unity in the Negro race is evidenced in the proposed union of all the Methodist churches. The organic union was approved by the twenty-eighth Quadrennial session of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, being held here at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Thirty-fifth street and Giles avenue. The delegates debated three hours on the merger, and the vote favoring unification was wired the Zion body meeting at St. Louis. Merger Name Opposed Adoption of the name "United Methodist Episcopal Church" for the proposed union with the disjunction of the followers of the African Methodism in South Africa and the West Indies, according to Benjamin Nxumalo, one of the delegates from the South African district, and who is also an African chief and uncle of the king of Swaziland. Mr. Nxumalo stated that the name "African Methodist" had contributed remodernously to the effectiveness of the work in Africa by arousing the heart of people and affecting their pride, and that omission of it in naming the new union would lackluster be resented. 4,000 Persons at Mt.

LAKE, ONTARIO W E S The Measure of a Great Public Service The Measure of a Great Public Service SO great has been the public demand for telephone service in New York State in the past seven years that $450,000,000—half again as much as the cost of the Panama Canal—have been required to enlarge the system and supply the necessary facilities. Such a huge investment required to supply a public demand indicates how valuable telephone service is to the people of the Empire State. The expenditure of vast sums each year must go on. Just as business and social life continue their onward march, so must our provision of telephone facilities for the future continue. To pioneer the way for the coming years and have the service ready on demand, is a task that involves intricate problems of engineering and construction. Upon the successful solution of these problems depends the future of the service which telephone users find more useful each year, because it enables them to telephone anywhere at any time, to anyone at any place.

With Election of Bishops Out of Way, Zionists Turn to Constructive Program Decide That Lay Members Should Have Equal Representation in Affairs of the Connection—Approve Proposal to Unite ST. LOUIS, May 21 (By Staff Correspondent, Associated Negro Press).—With the election of bishops out of the way, the delegates attending the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is in session here, turned their attention to the outlining of a program which would serve as an impetus to the progress of the church. Of special importance was the decision to grant hymen equal representation at the General Conference. This ruling was received with much enthusiasm and ends a fight which has been going on for some time. Laymen, contending that they support pastors, presiding elders and bishops, have sought equal representation for a number of years. The result this year is expected to materially the advancement of the great denomination. and the old ship is moving forward. The newly elected Bishops, namely Bishop F. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Dr. W. W. Matthews, have been busy engaged receiving congratulations from friends here and abroad. Thus far the following general officers have been elected: general secretary, Rev. H. C. Woden, Louisville, Ky.; financial secretary, Dr. W. H. Golor, Salisbury, N. C.; manager of publication house, R. W. At the same time the report of the laymen's bill was made, it was also decided to abolish all ex-official membership in the body and that in the future bishops would have no vote in the general conference ex-official presiding. The last rule was somehow surprise but was accepted graciously. The plan for organic union was approved and if suitable arrangements can be made and carried out, the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Zion Church will be merged, making perhaps the strongest and most hostile organizations among Negroes in the world. The planceived the unanticipated endorsement of the body, and the action was reported to the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church by wire. Recommendations of the committee on church extension and home missions were adopted, which provided for an increase in appropriation this work, and for special supervision of the more careful scrutiny of the operations of the department. All of the reports submitted have indicated clearly the rapid and substantial growth of the African Methodist Zion Church. In practically every field of mission and religious work the denomination is making great strides forward. Progressive men are the helm THREE and the old ship is moving forward. The newly elected Bishops, namely Bishop F. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Dr. W. W. Matthews, have been busily engaged receiving from friends here and abroad.

A group of distinguished p and artistic development taking was invited to meet Mrs. Nella Larsen," at a tea given in her ho day, May 20, from 4 until 6 o'c Committee of the N. A. A. C. A white couple in the Bronx had a "renewal marriage" performed a week ago today in the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 150th street and Mefrose avenue. Some of the details of the 25-year-ago wedding were repeated, for the same minister performed the wedding ceremony, the same love-honor-and-obey vows were taken, and the same ring was used. This 25-year-ago wedding was apparently so successful that the couple wanted a second marriage. A part of the bridal party this time, however, included the three children of the couple—one 19, one 10 and the third 9. Now that companionate marriages are on the wane—or, at least, you don't read so much about them—the "renewal" may become the latest fad. It is not necessary, however, to wait as long as 25 years to renew your vows. A DAILY renewal might lend stability to some of the present day "rocky" unions.—T.E.B.

Mrs. Inez Richardson Wilson, chairman of the committee, presided and introduced first Miss Roberta Beailey, who sang two Negro Spirituals, accompanied by Miss Presula Cuppy, after which J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon were persuaded to contribute two numbers in their imitative artistic style. Mrs. Florence Henderson, the committee's delegate to the conference at Los Angeles, was next introduced. Mrs. Sari Price Patton, Miss Iris Hall and Miss Claudia Scott, as entrants in the Popularity Contest sponsored by the committee, which will award to the winner a round trip ticket to California, were introduced. James Welton Johnson introduced Mrs. Imes by pointing out the significance of the literary movement to larger development, claims that there should be a real place for the woman novelist of the group, as she had such a complete background of achievement to her credit in the upward climb of the race. Mrs. Imes spoke and gave an interesting summary of her reakons for writing "Quicksand." Autographed copies were sold, after which refreshments were served by a committee of the following ladies, under the direction of Mrs. Florence De Loach Richardson: Mrs. Icelen Press, Mrs. Estelle Anderson, Mrs. Connino Wright, Mrs. Irene Jordan, Miss Wilhelmina Adams, Mrs. Sarah Butler, Mrs. Rose Riley, with her accustomed tact, made and took charge of members' identification cards marked with the blue and white ribbons of the association.

In the summer you would do well to add a new shelf to your emergency closet and stock it with "punch possibilities." Add to your case of grape juice several cans of grapefruit juice. Carbonated water and ginger ale give a sip to any drink and may be used instead of water. When you are in the kitchen in the morning squeeze as much orange or lemon juice as will be needed for the next day or two. Put it in fars in the refrigerator; it will be cold and ready for immediate use. Make your feed drinks several hours before they are to be served to give the fruit drinks time to ripen and the milk drinks time to become very cold. Ice should not be put directly into the milk drinks, as it may make them watery, and fruit drinks should be made strongly favored, enough to allow for dilution by melting ice. If you haven't a shaker, a glass quart measuring jar makes an excellent mixer-for blending the different ingredients. Garnish the Fruit Drinks. Dress up the fruit drinks with garnishes in variety. Berries in season look well and add color when mashed in the drink. Then there are cherries, green grapes Calloway, Mrs. Thomas L.

I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness, in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order.

Morn. 0536 BestAmusementPages in Greater New York Leslie's New Revue One of the Best of Its Kind Ever Presented Even on B'way More to Enjoy in This Colored Production Than in Anything Since the Balmy Days of "Shuffle Along" Down at Daly's Theatre AIDA WARD HAS GREAT POSSIBILITIES The Entire Show Furnishes an Evening's Entertainment Not to Be Found Anywhere in Greater New York, at the Hands of Colored Entertainers at This Time BY THE EDITOR. There was something sincere in the congratulations being showered upon Lew Leslie in the lobby of the Liberty Theatre one night last week by a large number of his friends, among them being many whose names are appearing in the bright electric, light signs of Broadway. And Lew Leslie was never more sincere in greeting another number of friends that had made the trip to Forty-second street to see his latest offering. To us, Lew Leslie is somewhat different to the Leslie we know in the past. The death of his late lamented star, Florence Mills, has apparently warmed the heart of Leslie to the people of the race of which Miss Mills was an outstanding member. Where in the past it was almost a matter of business, pure and simple, in his work, Leslie she is a certain sentimentality, which, after carefully observing not only his production, but those things leading up to it, tells us that the future will find Leslie returning to the American stage something which will meet with greater success than anything he has done among colored people now and in the past. "Blackbirds of 1928" is one of the best things of its kind done since the revue form of entertainment almost drove musical comedy, with its thread of a story, from the stage, and we make bold to asser that colored harbons which have found its entertainment at the local theatres, will be pleasantly surprised by making the trip to 42d street. We admit that some of the things in this revue have been seen around here in the past, but these same things have been placed in the present revue with settings which only a mind trained to the work could envisage. Our outstanding female entertainer with the show is Miss Ward, and when time will have mellowed her association with "Blackbirds" she is going to make other things done by Low Leslie which is going to make the theatrical world of Europe and America sit up and take notice. Personally, we are so pleased with what is being done by her, we are in danger of devouring almost all our space to recounting the splendid work of everything touching and apperaining to the show, but we are forced to remember that things must be spoken of in columns which must serve the people. However, how can we fall to rise with enthusiasm for clean comedy engaged in by Tim Moore, Mantan, and the rest of them, that "Writing in the light of the company; the dancing of the chorus; the music being led by the master hand of Allio Ross; the dancing of Bill Robinson and his work with Adelaude Hall. And right here we want to rise and inform Mr. Robinson which will possibility for the which will carry him to heights not dreamed of at the present time. Outside or his Wonderful dancing we see in Robinson a chance for something that will mean much to all concerned, and when the time is ripe we prepare to ease this information to Mr. Castle. Lew Leslie, in his "Blackbirds of 1928," is traveling the road that leads him over every phase of our present-day stage of entertainment, through takes us from the revue, through takes us from the revue, through takes us from the revue, to illing airs and dances which please the eye. More words fall to tell of the pleasure to be found in this new show, but we feel that we can impress Mr. Leslie with our satisfaction when we ask that we be drawn to something along the lines of "Reminiscent Week," wherein Miss Ward will be allowed to sing again some of those songs which will recall "The Little Blackbird" and we will be number will be included Cover Me With the Sunshine of Virginia." In the years gone by it has been the habit of producers making a try for recognition on Broadway to confine their activities to those things which would have a tendency to appeal only to the whites, but to the blacks. It has shown that a warm welcome awaits the residents of colored Harlem and other places to the Liberty Theatre. Mr. Leslie hasn't told us so, but we believe that he enjoys a certain sense of satisfaction to know that the people in this part of the city look with favor upon his efforts. Under the circumstances please to read the reader of this paper to witness "Blackbirds of 1928," and that because it has enough merit to warrant a trip to the Liberty, which, when coupled with Mr. Leslie's attitude, ushers in a new day in the theatre where Negroes are concerned. "TO PERPETUATE "BLACKBIRDS" "Broadway has been looking forward to an annual colored revue for years, decked up Mr. Leslie to the occasion to promise both white and colored playgoers an annual edition of my 'Blackbirds.' I am prompted to make 'Blackbirds' an annual revue because of the fact that years of colored shows have not of colored shows is at last becoming a reality. Colored artists, knowing they will some day come down to Broadway, have been polishing themselves with the result when I do Broadway the critics production on Broadway the critics' call it with commendatory reviews. "I believe, too, that colored writers, composers and musicians, knowing that their efforts will be represented on Broadway, will try the more to become adept in their chosen genre. I am a very few colored writers who can really turn out first grade skits and songs that are not copies of Negro humor and music done over and over again in every colored show produced, in my opinion, an annual event, and authors to greater extent with the result the Negro race will in a short time develop a group of authors comparable to Rodgers and Hart, Irving Berlin, George Gerhwin, B. G. De Sylva, Ray Henderson, Low Brown, William K. Wells and presentment in the field of musical comedy and revue on Broadway. "I was forced to use the lyrical and musical language of the song," McIlhugh for the solo reason that I wrote. 6IX A The Charming Miss Ward Has Come Into Her Own in "Blackbirds of 1928," at the Liberty Theatre. could find no material suitable for my revue written by colored craftsmen. I believe my plan will eliminate white folks writing for colored revues for, after all, nobody knows the colored race, its music, its humor and its pathos better than the colored people. "Furthermore, I am moved to go through with my plans for one outstanding reason," concluded Mr. Leslie, "and that is to establish a suitable and lasting memorial to the first Blackbird of them all, Florence Mills. Nothing, to my mind, could be more lasting, nothing more beautiful to the heart, Florence Mills than to perpetuate her memory by making 'Blackbirds' an annual revue." A His Performance on the Clarionette, Acrobatic and Otherwise, Is One of the Big Features in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928." LEW LESLIE'S "BLACKBIRDS"A REAL REVUE Dramatic Players at Lincoln in Fine Sketches NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1928 THE DANCE OF THE DAY Revue Scores at Lafayette Theatre Clarence Robinson, co-producer of "Keep Shuffling" in which Miller and Lyles are now appearing on Broadway, presented his first offering of the season at the Lafayette Theatre yesterday. It is called "All Aboard" and is slated for just one week. Judged by the reception which "All Aboard" received at the opening matinee, patrons of the Lafayette Theatre are in for another week of splendid entertainment. The cast of "All 'Aboard" reads like a list of some of the finest coloured entertainers in vauderville: The Four Pepper Shakers, Johnson and Brown, Mason and Bailley, Susaey Brown, Mercia Marquez and others. There is a proteller-than-usual chorus and a hand of twelve splendid musicians under the leadership of Buddy Walker. The scenes are all laid on board a ship and in far-off Egypt and are some of the most gorgeous scenes ever staged in a local theatre. The Four Pepper Shakers, of course, carried off the honors. Their singing, dancing, comedy and playing on wash-boards, tin pans and sandy other musical instruments brought storms of applause. Mason and Bailey's act, as well as their work in the revue, was onuslastically received, as was also the offering of their side-show. At the end of their side-show, comedy Jimmie Johnson's wonderful tenor voice was heard in a beautiful ballad and he had to respond to two encores before the audience allowed him to leave the stage. The surprise of the show was a team, entirely unknown to Harlem audiences, which came on the stage, and with the aid of an overgrown ukelele and a water glass played several selections in a manner which would have done credit to a seven-piece band. "All Aboard" is a triumph in producing ability of Clarence Robinson. The feature picture for the week was also thoroughly enjoyed. It is "Babe Comes Home" and stars the King of Swat, Babe Ruth. Ruth's ability is second only to his hitting ability. The Babe Comes Home" is a splendid romance of the diamond, full of action, thrills, comedy and romance.

HARRIS In His Latest Edition of "Blackbirds," Now at the Liberty Theatre, LEW LESLIE Has Given New York One of the Best Revues Since the "Glorification" of This Form of Entertainment. Marion Davies in One of Her Best at the Lincoln There is not a film star who has worked harder, nor is more deserving of her success than Marion Davies. Iron has reached the top after a lot of struggling and she shows evidences of remaining there by her skillful work in such starring vehicles as "The Fair Co-ed," her latest production which comes here the latter half of the week at the Lincoln Theatre. "The Fair Co-ed," which was based on the stage play by George Ade and Gustav Luders, proves an excellent vehicle for Miss Davies. She plays the role of the American co-ed as few, if any, others could have played it. Marlon has a knack of looking the part she plays—and acting it. There are few stars of the screen who can play the role of a teacher, than she and there are few who can enact such a variety of characters and look like that is just what she is best in.

THE EDITOR We Thank Our Friends When the Jamaica branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced a drive for new members, we became intensely interested. We were very enthusiastic to the association, but in this instance we feltailed upon to do a little more. We reside in Jamaica; our wife was chairman of the drive committee and she felt that nothing must be done to increase success. Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre learned of our interest in the matter and wrote a check for fifty dollars so fast it took our breath away. It was a mark of friendship on his part and the Association of the Association. Then followed the Savoy with twenty-five dollars through our good friend Charlie Buchanan, Mrs. Downs gave fifteen when Mr. Shapiro at the Donglas gave five. The Renaissance basketball five through Rob Douglas also gave five. The Carrington boys of Brooklyn gave five, E. J. Dorf of the Dorf Lamber and Most County of a mannequin gave ten and Mandel Miller of the Milnehon Building Corporation of Richmond Hill gave twenty-five. To see how well we stood with people with whom we are brought into contact we decided to try and raise at least one hundred dollars and they gave one hundred and forty without hesitation. We thank each and every one and repeat that the money is being used for one of the most worthy causes in the country. Our wife shares what we contend to do as a just cause and the opinion that we and every one of us laying claims to the land must do something at some time in behalf of the race.

The play has for the last six weeks been on a short tour arranged by the theatre company in connection to its 1925-1929 season in certain cities. A special scale of prose will be the effect for "Porsy" reenactment. Say They'll Make History Lincoln Theatre Players Enthusiastic Over What They Have to Offer The members of the dramatic company now appearing at the Lincoln Theatre remarked as one that they feel more enthusiasm today than at any other time during the weeks they have been presenting dramatic playlets at Mrs. Downs' theatre. They say they are well pleased with the conditions now observed at this theatre and told the writer that it is their intention to make history on 135th street, in so far as their work is concerned. It was with an enthusiasm felt by large audiences that they gave last week one of their best little offerings in "Over the Hills to the Poor" at the Lincoln something entirely different in "The Trail of the Yukon." The same jolly crowds stormed the doors of the theatre all Monday and Monday evening to see what the audience had to say and the continued patronage up to the time of going to press proves that nothing has marred the desire of the patrons of the house to see the shows. Messrs. Hawley, Olden, Chenault and Chester are going to work with a vividly supported by the Misses Clough, Offley and Barr. While wild claims will be made during the next few weeks of who brought the drama back to Harlem, the people are fully aware of the part The Amsterdam News played in placing the theatre owners in a formal booth, the form of entertainment and, as was suggested at the time, there was no necessity for doing away with the revue end of the entertainment, as it gave those caring for these kind of shows to see not only what they expected, but to receive a "three-in-one" show. Mrs. Downs was perfectly satisfied to inaugurate the new move, and she is perfectly satisfied to carry on the idea which she revived when she thought the time was ripe for it. Next week the players will present another sketch, which gives promise of carrying as strong an appeal to Lincoln audiences as any so far seen at this house. MIDNIGHT STEPPERS AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK Leonard Harper's latest musical comedy "The Midnight Steppers of 1928" will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Harper's name is identified with the name of the new musical comedies, and his new revue promises to be the greatest he has yet produced. The cast includes Holley and Vanderhurst, who rank with Glenn and Jenkins as one of the best comedy and dancing teams in rauvilleville; Billy McLaren, Slim Thompson, Lucie Hegemagia, Little From Japan, Hilda Perlena, "Princess" Arlic and other noted entertainers. Play of Dramatic Complications At the Alhambra Next Week "Woman Against Woman," a play of dramatic complications that has been given in almost every country on the globe, will be the next me-to-me in which Drama Players will be displayed. No more human play has ever been written than "Woman Against Woman." It is one of the few plays that never dies. Also on Monday next Sandy Dainy Fletcher, Apus Brooks and a lot of others will be seen as "Chocolates Soldiers," and the laughs will be plenty. Doris Kenyon will be the photo play star in "Restless Wives." Gangsters Wear Diamonds, Points Out Lon Chaney Gangsters love diamonds. Which is why Lon Chaney, in his role as the gangster czar in "The Big City," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's emotional romance of the underworld, coming Saturday to Tuesdays in June, wears a collection of gems and a private life he never wear jewelry, "gangsters," he says, "always wear diamonds. For one thing, a diamond can be turned into cash quickly in a gateway—to摹摹 the fashion is a most practical one."

The will was held valid in the New Orleans Civil District Court. It substantiates the old adage that even the dog will have his day. MUSIC Marjorie Harris At Town Hall Marjerie Harris, dramatic soprano, more than held her own among the several distinguished vocalists from the All Nations Grand Opera Society who were heard at Town Hall Saturday evening. Oddone Sommavigo, oper coach, was director and accompanist for All Nations Grand Opera Society who were heard at Town Hall Sat- day evening. Oddone Sommavigo, oper coach was director and accompanist for Marjorie Harris—all of the artists. Boling an operatic concert much of the inefficient Verdi, Pierluci, Dizot, Meyerbeer and Leon- cavallo on the program. Miss Harris, on her part, stressed Verdi with admirable success. In fact, she had to reappear no less than seven times in acknowledgment of the thunderous and insistent applause which followed her singing of the duet from "Aida" with Nicola Mercorell, the Italian tenor. In an earlier part of the program she sang "Ritorno Vinciet," and other aria from Verdi's "Alba," with unusual success, and later she closed her repertoire with two other contributions—Horn's "I've Been RECITAL AND DANCE Featuring Mme. Jefferson, Pianist And HALLE, HOWEVER, Chicago, Teno AT UNIQUE COLONY CIRCLE 254 West 133th Street Friday, May 25, at 8 p.m. Music by Napoleon's theatre-str ADMINISTRATION 25 CENTS Roaming," and Burleigh's "By and By." Others on the program, all white, were: Rhea Rinsky, coloratura soprano; Ruth Lawrence, lyric soprano; Clara Glannini, lyric-dramatic soprano; Rinaldo Schenone, baritone; Barnett Alper, bass; Nicola Mercorelli, tenor; Frances De Nicola and Mario La Porta, pianists. The Hall-Johnson Choir, composed of sixteen volces, has been announced as one of the features of the Stadium concerts this summer, beginning July 5. A two-year course leading to a certificate and a three-year course leading to a degree in sacred music is announced for next fall by the Union Theological Seminary, to train choirmasters, organists and teachers of sacred music in schools and colleges. Clarence Dickinson, organist and choirmaster at the Brick Presbyterian Church; Dr. Miles Farrow, organist and master of choristers at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine; Mrs. William Neidlinger, director of the St. Cecilia Choir; Christos Vrioudes, graduate in Byzantine music from the Athens Conservatory, and many other prominent instructors have been retained to direct the courses. Jules Biedo, baritone, and a friend of Ziegfeld's "Show Boat," has been invited by a group of Texans to make a concert tour of that state. He is planning his first appearance at Waco, Texas, his home town, where he will sing at the New Hope Baptist Church, founded by his grandfather in 1860. His grandmother, who raised him, is still living in the town. St Mark's Choir At Carnegie Hall Coleridge-Taylor's "Hawthorn," complete in its three parts, will be being at Carnegie Hall Monday evening at 5:30 sharp by the choir of St. Mark's Church under the direction of Prof. E. Aldama Jackson. It will mark the first time in more than a decade that a Negro choir has attempted to present to a metropolitan audience the complete interpretation of this immortal masterpiece. Professor Jackson has been priming his choir for this event since early in the concert season, and is loud in his conviction that, despite various handicaps, the offering will be crowded with success. Audiences of more than 1,500 have gathered at Carnegie Hall in the past to hear the St. Mark's Choir, therefore, it is permissible to assume that an audience of equal or larger proportions will hear them in this—their fifth annual concert. The soloists are: Mimie Brown, coprano; Ruby Green, contralto; Fannan Lovinggood, tenor, and Jacob Love, baritone; Lydia Mason and Sonoma Talley are the pianists, while it is probable that Leonard Matthews of Rush Memorial Church will be the accompanying organist. Zoila Galvez Recital Once again a rather large audience of music lovers was afforded the privilege of hearing Zolla Galvez, coloratura soprano, with a voice of lyric quality, at Grace Congregational Church Sunday afternoon. She was decidedly in good voice. However, Miss Galvez did not impress us as she did in her debut some weeks ago. All of her repeated scores were, of course, good—almost perfect; but her two contributions of one song one other Salzburger, Mozart, and the other by Gordard were almost unreminiscent of the period in which they are supposed to have been written. Mozart's style calls for serene, calmly and graceful interpretation, while that of Gordard borders more on polished, classical elegance. According to Miss Galvez's interpretation of both, Mozart is more like Gordard and vice versa. She is very good in her attack on melodic compositions with colorful paris, and she sings her English scores with the fluency and smoothness for which she praised her some time ago. Her nuance is not all to be desired, but on the whole she controls it very well. Chauncey Northern An audience of meagre proportions—perhaps fifty in number—went to Mother Zion Church on Thursday night to hear Channeyce Northern, tion; Ruth Ellis, dramatic recitalist, and the Harlem Lyric Trio render a program of pleasing variety. Northern was in good voice and easily maintained his reputation as a singer of sonorous vocal ability and wide tonal powers. The Harlem Lyric Trio, as usual, furnished little ground for criticism. They have become noted for their ability to render themes of an elegiac mood. Marguerite C. Pennybacker, soprano, and a member of the St. James Presbyterian Church Choir, will be presented in recital at the above named church on Friday evening, June 1. Persons who attended the Dubois-Culbert wedding at Salem Church some time ago will recall Miss Pennybacker's beautiful singing on that occasion. She is a graduate of the Fisk University Conservatory of Music, and has successfully completed other extensive training courses for the cultivation of her voice. The presentation is being sponsored by the Young Men's Allogeneity Club of the church. Edward Margetson, well known pianist, and Gladys Armstrong, soprano, of Chicago, were heard in joint recital Sunday afternoon at the Urban League. The program proved rather acceptable.

The boys have been rather busy of late giving recitals on May 14 at the Middletown Congregational Church and at the Main Street Methodist Church in Goshen. On May 15 they were heard at the Young's A. and I. College at Slate Hill, N. Y. On May 16 they gave a recital at the Sullivan avenue school in Port Jervis and on May 17 they offered a concert at the Bethel A. M. E. Church in Middletown. According to reports from the West, the Kentucky Jubilee Choir is enjoying huge success in its various concerts rendered in Western cities. They are booked over the Orpheum Circuit in Seattle, Wash., and expect to return to the Roxy Theatre in this city for a return engagement later in the year. Critics have been unanimous in their praise of Mme. Alyce Fraer, soprano, and a product of this city, who has been touring the West Indies with much success. She is booked for several concerts in Caracas, Venezuela, Jamaica and later in England. The choirs of the St. Joseph A. O. and the Spiritual Star Churches will combine with the Philharmonic Club of the Nixon Music School to render a joint program of choruses, vocal and instrumental solos, and dramatic readings at the Urban League on Thursday evening, May 31.

The New York News sought to create the impression upon this Amsterdam News Advertiser that 22,000 copies of the New York News go into as many homes in Greater New York every week, and that the results from the ad if placed in the New York News would normally be in proportion to such a coverage. HOW DID THE NEW YORK NEWS ARRIVE AT THE "22,000" QUOTED IN ITS LETTER? Apparently a pecullar arithmetic was employed. We congratulate "The News" on its enterprise in clipping ads from the Amsterdam News and soliciting them, but—we cannot and will not congratulate it on its "Peculiar Arithmetic." Advertisers are entitled to know the exact NET PAID circulation they are buying. Flamboyant circulation claims whose only basis in fact rests in the imagination of Publishers and their Representatives don't fool advertisers—at least, won't fool them indefinitely. In passing, we may note that The Amsterdam News guarantees a net paid weekly circulation of 26,000 copies. The average net paid circulation of The Amsterdam News during the month of March, 1928, was 28,834 copies. A recent survey of 200 important newsstands in Greater New York shows the average weekly distribution of all Harlem newspapers on these newsstands. The figures for The Amsterdam News and The New York News are: THE AMSTERDAM NEWS ..... 13,231 THE NEW YORK NEWS ..... 1,749 THE AMSTERDAM NEWS LEAD.....11,482 That is to say, The Amsterdam News absolutely dominates Greater New York, and, too, by any measuring stick The New York News or any other colored newspaper in New York chooses to set up.

To Eliminate "Barrel Tone" When using a large horn of the exponential type in a console cabinet, there seems to be a tendency for the low notes, such as those of the piano, to be checked by removing the horn from the cabinet, working it separately. The sounds will then be much more natural, of course, provided the set is working properly and without distortion. If this test corrects the booming, the cabinet is at fault. Last Minute Special The Hour of Negro Achievement for tonight will be given under the auspices of the Westchester Academy of Medicine, an organization recently formed. The event will be held at White Plains, M. V. Mernon, New Rochelle and Portchester will participate. Appointed Chief-in-Charge Dr. Horace D.

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN Why does he believe that all he has to say is "Now, baby, you know you've got first go with me" and you will be tickled to death? What should the girl do? Should she sit in a corner and passively told her hands for fear of arousing his anger, or should she make herself as attractive to the boys as he is trying to make himself to the girls? Sister, don't let any man try to get away with that stuff. Make him know that you're not the type to stand for it, and if he acts "fly"—you act "fly," too! That will make him check up on himself, because most men are very selfish as far as sharing their sweethearts' company with another man is concerned. Dear Egyptay Ann: My sweetheart claims that it is a man's privilege to be friendly with other girls, as a man's character is not harmed by so doing. But he gets awfully angry if I look at another man and accuses me of being fresh and unreliable. Is this fair? I love him and I'm not crazy over the idea of his flirting with other girls. When I remark about it he tells me that I am foolish and that he is only being sociable. He says it is the girl who makes the first advances toward him. Kindly advise me. THELMA T. Dear Thelma: You tell your young man that he dizzy. He's got a case all right, and he's not alone. Most men have, and they need a little of their own treatment to cure them. Don't let him make a coward of you. Stand up for your rights and make friends among the boys. As it is, he thinks he's the only pebble on the beach as far as you are concerned. You want "to get him told." He'll secretly admire you more, even if he does become paved and jealous. Don't sit in a corner and mop for any man, honey, because while you're moping others are acting.

Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor stated in Sunday that the mention of his name in connection with the vice-presidenty on an independent ticket with Coxey was entirely without his authorization, and he knew nothing of the proposed mass meeting in Washington City for this purpose. The New York number of Sunday. An unusually large audience witnessed the literary and musical program Sunday night, in charge of Mrs. Kim Edwards, assisted by the Mrs. Robertson, Miss Robertson, Mr. Robertson, Mrs. Mr. J. Johnson, Miss Nora Knuth, Prof. and Mrs. Samuel Kauffle, Virginia Serenders, who were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Teresa Gunther, unguished persons from that borough. Following the program, Dr. Proctor gave the following address on the Sacrament of Gonius: "We came to Hampton Institute a group of students from Japan and they asked the Hampton students with whom they were in conference with them that they must be, economic or artistic, and the reply was artistic. Why, then, these Japanese students asked, does a school like this city chief stress the economic need no answer. To this end, "The chief genius of the colored race is artistic. It will be our course, poems, paint pictures, song songs, act plays, etc. This is already recognized by the public. A recent news release showed that the only players who could hold an audience on broadway during the dull season were colored players. In foreign players has reached such a pitch that they are pleading for the colored players to be sent out of the court. This artistic ability we have is a sacred gift. I call it a sacrament. As a rament means two things. The player is an injured pledge to use that gift for the glory of God. Ours is the sacrament of genius. We possess these artistic gifts implies certain obligations. Ours is that of thorough fundamental preparation. I want every parish to provide such education, for some time he may be an artist. As such he can now only in proportion to his fundamental training, just as the parish limited by the code of its roofing. Another obligation is that of using this gift only for the highest purposes. Frederick Douglas, who founded the United States, used it after careful preparation and for some noble purpose. I wish my race might consecrate its genius so that it would sing no song, pain no picture, take part in no event, be not clean and helpful. Such a purpose would be of incalculable benefit to the world. "But the highest of all art is the heart of the soul," is the art of life. I want my race to continue to excel in that. Note how even Broadway calls for the spirituals. Is this not indicative of the heart hunger of people. The popularity of the water is a still greater indication of our possibilities to use our genius to feed the hungry heart of the world. I thank God for our genius to use it only for His glory.

I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead. She is just away! With a cherry smile and a wave of the shear. She has wandered into an unknown land.

Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here. Think of her still as the same. I say She is not dead—she is just away. JOHN P. LEE, RUTH M. LEE, ELIZABETH I. LEE.

Why, didn't you hear about it? Gee whiz, it's advertised all over New York. Maybe you contributed ten or fifteen cents to a ticket yourself. This is what the ticket says: Troop 774 asks your help. Contribute to our camp fund. Come to debate on Sunday, May 27, 1928. Admit bearer to debate. "Resolved: That Higher Education Tends to Breed Atheism." The debate will take place at Grace Congregational Church, 308-10 West 139th street. Oh, boy, it looks like big doings. The debaters are the Douglass Society of City College, which says "Yes" to the question, and the New York Students' Circle, which says "No." Friday evening Scouts of Troop 774 are going to be sent out to cover the district and then perhaps you will have a chance to buy a ticket. There is no special price. You can contribute from ten cents up to $1,000,000. Don't then go to high. Well the proceeds of the debate and other contributions are to help pay the camp fare of every Scout in Troop 774. Alley oopl Camp. Oh, boy, but won't it be a happy day When the time comes to start away Every Harlem Scout will jump for joy. The little boys will say "There goes the low boys." Many boys say, "Oh, what do I care?" But all the troops will surely be there. "To camp, to camp," the cry will be. We'll surely be there by half past three. Well, how did you like my poem? Now, don't you think I am becoming poetic. Don't register late. Last season there were about 300 applications which were not taken. Parents desiring to send their boys to camp should write to William G. Keough. I East 104th street.

MANNING is a white man whom every Negro should honor. Though born in Alabama, he sacrificed the love of his family and a brilliant political future to a principle. He declared publicly that a Negro is as good as a white man. For this he was driven from his family, his state and his fortune. Refusing to recant his belief, he toured the country to spread it. For some time he has been living in New York, broken in health. The Joseph C. Manning Testimonial Committee, composed of prominent citizens of Harlem, is making an effort to provide for him, and they should have the moral and material support of this community. Joseph C. Manning should be honored with John Brown of Harper's Ferry. WIBECAN OF BROOKLYN THE PUBLIC TESTIMONIAL to George E. Wibecan at the Brooklyn Academy of Music was a worthy tribute to Brooklyn's most distinguished Negro citizen. For forty years Mr. Wibecan has fought the battles of his race without thought of reward or personal aggrandizement, rising above those who tried to hinder his unselfish service and minimize his prestige. GEORGE WIBECAN is the only active survivor of the splendid group of men who made Brooklyn a leading Negro community. Thirty years ago Brooklyn had such men as T. Thomas Fortune, Dr. Philip White, T. McCants Stewart, Henry Highland Garnett, Dr. Dorsey, Charles Thomas and others of less fame, but equal ardor. In such a school George Wibecan came up, and it is a pity that not more came up with him. Today Negro Brooklyn is known chiefly as a society center; in those days it was in the forefront of all racial movements. DR. CHARLES A. BUTLER FENCE-JUMPERS are as common in Harlem as in other parts of the world. A fence-jumper is a man who does his utmost to head off a movement, and then, when the movement succeeds in spite of him, hastens to claim the credit for its success. Often he is so loud and audacious that the public is deceived into calling him the author and defender of the things he tried his hardest to defeat, while the rael author remains unhonored and even unknown. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS would call the public attention and gratitude to Dr. Charles A. Butler, president of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem. Dr. Butler, in his quiet, disinterested way, has done important community work for which others have claimed and received credit. He was largely responsible for the opening up of Harlem Hospital to Negro doctors. He caused the erection of the fine new comfort station in Morningside Park. His most recent and greatest achievement was to persuade the Board of Estimate to appropriate $1,700,000 for Harlem Hospital. LEST OTHERS should try to rob this unselfish community worker of his due credit we quote this letter to Dr. Butler from George J. Atwell: "The Board of Estimate has seen fit to appropriate $1,700,000 for Harlem Hospital, and I think you should feel proud of the result of your efforts and foresight in getting this piece of humanitarian work done. If Harlem had more men of your type that community would rival the other sections of Greater New York. I take this opportunity to extend my congratulations and I feel that you will always be remembered for your unselfish service to your people." AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE THE CASE of Elmore Howard shows that a great change is needed in the law which covers the buying and selling of furniture on the instalment plan. Howard bought a set of furniture from an instalment company, and paid in full for all of it except a dresser, which he said he did not want. Because he had not paid for the dresser, the instalment company got a judgment against him and seized the whole set of furniture. The law allowed the company to take away goods for which it had been paid. Thus furniture worth $200 was seized to satisfy a $10 debt. COMMISSIONER of Accounts Higgins branded the company's action as unscrupulous, and announced that he would recommend a change in the law. NO ONE WOULD DENY that instalment companies have to protect themselves. Their business involves a greater risk than some others, their prices must be correspondingly high, and they must secure themselves as far as possible against losses. Some of them are known for their courtesy and considerate dealing. But others take an unfair advantage which works a hardship on the customers, most of whom are poor people. All the legal protection is on the side of the companies; some of it should be on the side of the customer.

A Grand Jury investigation in that city has revealed conditions that should be impossible in a civilized country. All kinds of prisoners, young, old, black, white, epileptic, have been tortured devilishly and sometimes beaten to death, without even the excuse of the third degree. Anyone whom a policeman happened to dislike could be called to the station house, strapped into an electric chair and terrified or clubbed almost to death. Meanwhile the orators and advertisers dwell upon the beauties of Florida, the land of flowers. It is producing some strange flowers. EDITORIAL PAGE SOME while ago I wrote a release on neglected Negro graveyards. I pointed out the obvious fact that the Negro race spends the maximum amount of money on funerals and the minimum amount on graveyards. Love for the dear departed extends to the time of burial, but seems to cease after sepulture. I suppose that individual Negro graves are decorated as regularly as those of the whites, but there is little or no demand that the butyying grounds as a whole be properly laid out and kept up according to the requirements of the canons of landscape engineering. If we are to judge by the dislapidation of Negro graveyards in all parts of the country, the prospect will indeed be a gloomy one. The Negro graveyard is all but wholly a segregated institution. The individual Negro cannot so easily find beautiful accommodations in death, as in life, by finding location in a white community. A good friend of mine, longing to escape the Jim-Crow spirit after death, picked out, while living, burying accommodations in a Boston cemetery where, at that time, there was no racial separation in death. Born in Virginia, and spending his whole life in a segregated environment, he sought escape at last before planning his seppuration in the burying ground of the free. But such instances are exceptional and unique. The "Crack THE real American invasion.

Good old Southern propaganda against the Negro, published by the leading French firm—Larousse—and written by a professor of literature and American civilization at the Sorbonne, is as effectively being used in France as in America. The French people are thirsty for information on the American Negro, and they are getting it from Larousse, from Van Vechten and also from the black Van Vechten, soon to follow. The article mentioned appears in a profusely illustrated study on the United States by Prof. Charles Centre. As far as the Negro is concerned, the study is a mixture of truths, miracles and exploded theories, some of the vintage of 1800. to him once and he used it to crush you. What he has done once he will do again." Prof. Centre uses the argument himself. Napoleon said something to the In many parts Prot. Cestre speaks like a regular "cracker." In many parts, however, he denounces some of the evils with vigor, though he avoids the more glaring ones as concubinage and peonage, and speaks not too favorably of those who protest against white injustice. The following are some of the more glaring errors in his works: (1) That the original Ku Klux Klan, formed in Reconstruction Days, had as its purpose the correction of disorders caused by carpet-baggers and Negro legislators in the South, and that it was an error to give the Negro the vote. This matter has already been gone into thoroughly by John R. Lynch, Negro Congressman of those times, by the writer and others. As to the Klan, its real purpose was to do by underground method what the Confederacy had failed to do by force of arms—to create a separate republic in the South with slavery. This matter of Reconstruction has a profound bearing on the treatment of the Negro today. The moral, say the Dixonites, is: "Keep the Negro from the vote at all costs.

He came to America in 1905, worked at almost every kind of employment, studied art for two years at the Chicago Art Institute, and served four years in the army. He is self-educated.

His other works are: "As Nature Leads," a study of race intermixture throughout the ages between Negro and Caucasian; "The Approaching Storm"; "Blood Money," a novel of love mysteries In 1917 Rogers published his famous book, "From Superman to Man." It immediately brought the author before the eyes of a multitude of people of both races. It is a faithful story between a black and a white man. It has no peer; stands best by itself, the classic that it is. This book should be the guide to better understanding between the two races. And yet it is a great pity that the book Negro Graveyards Negro ordinarily cannot escape the environment of his race, not even in death. I asked an undertaker the other day if there was a single white graveyard in the District of Columbia which was as dilapidated and disreputable in general appearance as the best of the Ne- M. gro burrying grounds. His response was that he was not able to cite a single exception to the general rule. The other day I was visited by the white promoters of a new Ne- to him once and he used it to crush you. What he has done once he will do again." Prof. Cestre uses the argument himself. Napoleon said something to the effect that history is a lie agreed on—a lie agreed on to maintain in power the dominant party, Sir Walter Raleigh, while at work on his History of the World, tore up his manuscript, it is said, because looking out on an accident he heard each butsander give a separate account of the affair. "How then," he said, "can I write a history of the world, the events of which I did not see, when, as regards what I actually saw, no two witnesses would agree." Prof. Cestre, however, writes with great assurance. He goes on to justify the attitude of the whites in the South by saying that the number of Negroes there "equals nearly the population of the whites," while the fact is—according to the last census—the whites or the white classed as whites outnumber the Negroes at least three to one. In two states only do the Negroes outnumber the whites—and the 1930 census will show, no doubt, a balance in favor of the whites. He also advances the hoary argument about preserving white civilization. Being a Latin, he said nothing about preserving Anglo-Saxon civilization as a Southerner would naturally. does not reach the mass if it should.

Past J. A. Rogers -By KELLY MILLER gro graveyard. They took me out to visit their new burying field, undertaken as a commercial venture, to provide the Negroes of the capital with a decent cemetery. This field was laid out and landscaped with the latest engineering skill. It fell no whit behind the best adorned burying grounds for the white race. At the most conspicuous spot in the new cemetery repose the remains of the late Judge Terrell, transplanted from a more unsightly Negro graveyard. Contrasted with the Negro cemeteries, this new field looks like a park. I went to the funeral of a Catholic friend. This universal church buries all of her dead in the same graveyard, although the Negro dead are assigned to segregated sections. This burying ground is as beautiful as a park. Every book and corner is decorated with trees, shrubbery, flowers and grasses, as becomes the capital's most beautiful park. On the way out I passed by the best of the Negro graveyards, Part of the fence was of wooden pickets broken and irregular in its shabbiness; the iron section was twisted and broken down in spots, Woods and brushes obtruded their shaggy heads among the white tombstones, without plan, system or order. There are no regular walks or footpaths. Although this particular graveyard occupies one of the conspicuous and naturally beautiful spots about the district, yet there is not the slightest semblance of art to set off its natural beauty. The beautiful individual tombstones and monuments seem ridiculously out of place by virtue of their setting and surrouldings. ganda in Bu J. A. ROGERS THE NEW YORK TIMES In his own words: "One cannot deny the avowed intention of the whites to deprive the blacks of their citizenship rights by all means. That is neither good nor just. However, when one considers that the black population in the South nearly equals in number that of the whites, and in certain spots is greater, one can excuse the whites from delivering themselves tied hands and feet to an electorate notoriously incapable of exercising the franchise. The white race must hold the strong arm in politics." This is precisely the sort of argument one would expect from Blease, Heflin, et al, who usually speak as if it was the Negro who had been standing still for the last fifty years, instead of them- A Key to By LEOLA A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD ADVISING young people ing, to get right down investments, property be like, is almost a waste of tin a glow of love, and life has r sage of happy days, and the i is not an easy thing to imp ADVISING young people, who are thinking of marrying, to get right down to business and talk bank investments, property buying, family budgets and the like, is almost a waste of time.

Rogers- Bemoaning the Young Folk --- LETTERS The thing that most amazes me is that the Negro citizens, who themselves must lie here, seem wholly unconcerned or unconscious about the lack of care and the upkeep of their final resting place. This neglect cannot be due to a lack of financial support. A Negro graveyard is the best patronized real estate venture in any community. A fixed charge can be imposed, if necessary, for perpetual unkeep. What I have said about Washington is more or less true of every city in the United States. I have inquired everywhere for a beautiful Negro graveyard. The universal answer to my query is that no such exists. How long will this reproach continue to remain true? A graveyard is regarded among the beauty spots of a city. Visitors are driven out to view the cemetery 12, which the community takes civic pride. I dare say, however, that no one would think of taking a visitor to a Negro graveyard, except that he was possibly interested in someone hurled there. Is it that the Negro has not yet developed a sense of civic responsibility? Is it that the Negro graveyard is an index of what the Negro would do if left to his own sense of public improvement and beautification? Would he order his cities after the same fashion, if he ordered cities? Will he not learn from the whites the importance of order and beauty in the arrangement and regulation of public projects? The graveyard is the best place for the race to begin to try its hand at proving what it can do in manipulating important public facilities. France selves. In at least two French colonies Negroes are in power; would he say the same regarding them? (2) Prof. Centre tells us that Negro lawyers, doctors, and dentists "have a clientele exclusively black." The fact is that many Negro doctors in the South have more white clients than colored, as this writer has personally seen; the great majority of these clients being white men with venereal diseases caught in many cases from Negro prostitutes. (3) The more intelligent Negroes, we are cold, are generally the illegitimate offspring of the whites. "These individuals, exceptionally endowed, are generally mulattoes, born of illegitimate relationship." Here is a fact that was slightly true sixty years, given out for present day consumption. (4) The whites, he says, are very skilled in telling persons with a drop of so-called black blood. "Some," he says, "by the light color of their skins would be able to pass for white in other countries. But the American can discover the least presence of pigment under the skins, and apply without pity the social law. Very few quadroons or octozoons who change from city to city have ever succeeded in passing for white." Now the fact is that each of the ten millions or so Negroes know at least one so-called Negro who "passes for white," while others have met scores, as this writer. At least 60 per cent of the whites of the South are Negroes, according to their own dictum. The same old erroneous views are held by Prof. Cestre regarding the cause of lynching, the laziness of the blacks. This study on the United States by Prof. Cestre is to appear in twenty-one volumes, one of which appears each week. Considerably much more than one volume treats of the Negro.

But this and weighing 122 pounds, is n was born in Chicago 35 years a A high school education in versity in Nashville, Tenn., and of Copenhagen, Denmark, ma- career. In the heart of Harlem—on West 135th street, to be exact—lives a new writer. But this person, 5 feet 2 inches in height and weighing 122 pounds, is not a native New Yorker. She was born in Chicago 35 years ago. A high school education in Chicago, one year at Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn., and three years at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, make up her general educational career. "I have lived East only twelve years," she said as she seated herself comfortably on the long sofa in her spacious living room. (This room, by the way, has the air of a Greenwich Village studio with its vari-colored pillows, paintings, books and more books, flowers, large and small vases, and other furnishings. Twelve busy years these have been, for in this period she has done much specialized work. She was assistant superintendent of nurses at Lincoln Hospital for a year, did social service work for the Board of Health, worked as assistant children's librarian in the Seward Park branch of the Public Library and later as the children's librarian in the West 153th street branch. For three years, however, this little woman has had trouble with her health. She no longer goes out to business. Who discovered this writer? Carl Van Vechten—and in her living room is an autographed photograph of him. Five months in her head and six weeks on the typewriter is the time it took her to write her book. The publishers: Alfred A. Knop, Inc., 730 Fifth avenue, have made her promise to do two more manuscripts for them—neither is to be of the propaganda type. "Madame K," or whatever you want to call her, is a modern woman, for she smokes, wears her dresses short, does not believe in religion, churches and the like, and feels that people of the artistic type have a definite chance to help solve the race problem. Her hobbies are doing her own homework, and there is much to do to keep work, and there is much to do to clean (and from the apartment so from the kitchen door she must be an excellent cook)), sewing and playing bridge. Keeping By E. ELLIOTT RAWLIN Keeping Fit By E.

Very fe however, know that anger, hatred and animosity, if allow too often to enter one's personality, result finally in diseas IN THESE days of general education, sanitation and personal hygiene, most people know that germs and bacteria cause disease, through contagion or infection. Very few, however, know that anger, hatred and animosity, if allowed too often to enter one's personality, result finally in disease. Such mental states as anger, hate and fear should be avoided just as much as one avoids infection or contagion. Emotional states of mind, as anger and hate, if long continued, overstimulate through the brain and the sympathetic nervous system certain ductless glands, such as the adrenals and thyroid, resulting finally in a depressed and diseased condition of these glands. When the adrenals or thyroid glands become diseased physiological disturbances in the other organs of the body occur and the oriatic disease finally results. Hate and anger are stimulants just as much as whiskey is a stimulant. Too much whiskey, on the other hand, causes a depression. In a like manner too much anger or hate causes a depression with certain physiological disturbances. There are people who are chronic alcoholics. Through constant use of whiskey their only "kick" in life is more whiskey. Their nerves and organs constantly require its stimulating effect. This overstimulation finally tires out the metabolism of the body and the congestion and inflammation finally results. In like manner hate and anger, if indulged in too often, break down the psychic reserve power and cause one to lose the whole some and right-minded spirit, resulting finally in chronic pugnaciousness. Such an individual is a chronic hater, is envious and is easily upset. The adrenals and thyroid of such a person soon become diseased through this chronic mental disturbance and fatigue. to listen to a group of older women bemoaning the carelessness and thoughtlessness of younger women. They seem to think the world is coming to an end because the youngsters are more concerned about good times, silken underthings, pretty clothes, automobiles and such. If we all wait until we have learned good common sense—and then marry—the race will soon die, for some of us will never learn it. If a couple have had the right training and examples to follow, they will get along. Success in life depends a great deal upon fate. Still, there is much we can do to be prepared for what fortune awaits us. In short, it is all just a game of chance.

AFRICAN FILM, WITH NATIVE ACTORS, MADE A copy of a Supplement to the Vossische Zeltung, published in Germany, announces that a film, with natives of Sonegambia as actors, had been made by a German expedition to Africa. The heroine of the film is a 17-year-old native Negro girl of the Bambara named Fatu and the hero is named Samba. In order to make the film the Germans had to overcome the reluctance of the Africans to be photographed and had to instruct them in the ways of expressing various emotions.
