DU BOIS FLAYS DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
MOSES RESENTS CRITICISM
REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
REGISTRATION FAVORABLE TO 21st CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE
Congress Candidate's Hopes Brighter as Registration Increases in 13th, 21st and 22d Districts
Hopes of sending a Negro to Congress from the Twenty-first district were buoyed up here early this week as Republican leaders analyzed Harlem registration, which showed a marked increase of colored persons enrolled. In the Thirteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Assembly Districts, where most Negro voters reside, the increase is 3,795 over 1924.
With this increase, which is claimed to be largely composed of Negro voters, and with the strength of numerous uncounted residents in the Twenty-first and Twenty-second Districts who have taken the places of whites who have left the section, belief is current among Republicans that the defeat of 1924 can be reversed. Then, Dr. Charles H. Roberts, who ran for Congress against Royal H. Weller, white, was defeated by 8,000 votes. A total of 79,692 voted.
Edward A. Johnson, the present candidate, is declared to have a possible 6,000 votes more than Dr. Roberts, because of the increased registration and the ebbing of whites from Harlem. In 1924, it is pointed out, few colored people lived west of Eighth avenue. Many whites lived on Seventh avenue and a considerable number was found north of 125th street.
Breakfast Row Causes Death
Blow Causes Man's Death by Heart Failure; Stepson Held for Homicide
An argument regarding his breakfast led to blows being passed between William Lyle, 28, and his stepfather, Thomas Lyles, 65, in the kitchen of their home at 201 West 146th street Sunday morning, causing the death of the elderly man.
The stepson was held without bail.
A check-up revealed that the colored voters lined up almost solidly behind Dr. Roberts. White Republicans cast approximately 80 per cent of their votes for him. With 80 per cent of the members of his race behind Johnson and 50 per cent of the whites, it is asserted, his chances of winning the election are raised considerably.
While some Republican leaders

Blow Causes Man's Death by Heart Failure; Stepson Held for Homicide
An argument regarding his breakfast led to blows being passed between William Lyle, 28, and his stepfather, Thomas Lyles, 65, in the kitchen of their home at 201 West 146th street Sunday morning, causing the death of the elderly man.
The stepson was held without bail for arraignment in Homicide Court when arraigned the same day before Magistrate Ewald in Heights Court. The Medical Examiner said death was due to heart failure.
Lyles met his mother on the stairway as he came home about 8 a. m., and when he reached the kitchen he said to his stepfather, "Did Mom fix any breakfast for me?" The elderly Lyles replied, "I don't know and don't give a d——," whereupon he struck his stepson. It is reported.
Lyles then struck back and the old man fell dead to the floor. He telephoned at once to the Sixteenth precinct police station, saying, "I have just killed my stepfather." Detective Christiano rushed to the scene and summoned Dr. Szobodas from Columbus Hospital, who pronounced the man dead. Lyles was placed under arrest on a charge of murder. Subsequent examination of body by the Medical Examiner disclosed that death was the result of heart failure. Nevertheless, Lyle was compelled to face the Homicide Court.

JERSEY Y.W.C.A. SECRET'RY SHOT
The charge of assault and attempted robbery against Abner Berry, 26, 340 St. Nicholas avenue, on complaint of Thomas Lappin, a white storekeeper, at 101 Edgcombe avenue, was changed to disorderly conduct when Berry was arraigned for a further hearing in Heights Court Thursday before Magistrate Ewald, who fined him $25, which he paid.
The testimony revealed that Berry had accused Lappin of short changing him out of S5 cents and an altercation arose between the men in which Lappin was beaten into unconsciousness. Lappin said that Berry attempted to rob the cash register. Attorney Richard L. Cunningham, who defended Berry, proved to the satisfaction of the court that no attempt at robbery had been made.

Man Who Molested Girls Sent to Prison
Following numerous complaints that small children had been molested by a man in the hallway of 203 West 148th street, Samuel Sheffield, 48, same address, was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct by Patrolman Parlen of the West 135th street station, who said that Sheffield had placed his hands on two little girls in an indecent manner and kissed one of them.
When Sheffield appeared before Magistrate Ewald in Heights Court last Wednesday, he was found guilty and sent to the workhouse for six months. The father of one of the children said that he believes Sheffield is the man whom other parents in the building have complained about recently, but could never apprehend. In 1925 Sheffield was convicted and served a lengthy jail term on a charge of attacking a 13-year-old girl.

Republican Manager Declares Papers Half Quoted Him on Color Equality Statement Before G. O. P. Women's Body
Senator George H. Moses, Eastern manager of the Republican National Committee, about whom a storm of criticism raged last week, following a statement regarding the recognition given the Negro by the local Democratic organization, offered his record in pushing the Howard University annual appropriations in the Senate as testimony of his liberal attitude toward the Negro in an interview here Saturday.
"SMITH IS AFRAID TO BE BRANDED AS FRIEND OF NEGRO"
Fearing South, Governor Failed to Capitalize Hoover's Silence on Racial Issue, Editor Asserts in The Nation
The reason for A1. Smith's failure to recognize the Negro in any way in all his long career was rooted primarily in his "East Side ignorance" and now in his fear of the South, as expressed in his determination "not to say a single word that will enable his enemies and the Ku Klux Klan to fasten the title of 'Nigger-lover' upon him."
And Chauffeur Freed
Charles Landrum, 33, auto electrician, 44 Bradhurst avenue, and Daniel Copeland, 24, a chauffeur, 2266 Seventh avenue, co-defendants on a charge of larceny, were acquitted in General Sesalons Court early last week. The complainant against them was Dr. John R. Randolph, 207 West 135th street, who accused the men of stealing and wrecking his automobile last July.
Landrum and Copeland proved that they had permission to take the car from the garage at 28 East 136th street, for the purpose of repairing it, and that the car was damaged in an accident near Pelham Bridge. Landrum said he offered to compensate the physician for the damages. His offer was refused and he and Copeland were arrested on a charge of larceny, he said.
"The charge was outrageous," Landrum stated in an interview with a reporter on Thursday. "I have been a reputable business man for the past 22 years."

Injured, Kidnapped, Released After colliding with his car and injuring him, two colored men kidnapped him on the Central Park driveway and later threw him out of their car in the Bronx, Leon Dremont, 56, white, told the police early last week.

the Republican chief's address before an audience at the Women's National Republican Club, during which he referred to Ferdinand Q. Morton, Democratic civil service commissioner, and the fact that Morton dictated to a white woman stenographer. Senator Moses assailed the press in the interview Saturday at his headquarters in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for "quoting part of a five-minute discourse."
Rana Bourbon Democrats
The senator from New Hampshire explained that he was being questioned by a Southern white woman, evidently a Democrat, about the recognition given the Negro by Republicans. In reply, he avers, he told of having seen the picture of Morton, a Democrat, dictating to a white woman.
Senator Moses declared that he did not remember mentioning the situation in Washington.
"After I have fought for the Howard University appropriation each year," he said, "and have shown that there is no better friend of the colored race, I feel like stopping after what Negro papers have said about me."
Criticism of the Republican manager continued here this week as the National Association for Colored People, through Secretary Robert W. Bagnall, labelled the state-

They are Rose Gunter, Semple, head of the Semple School for Southern Girls; and Martin Drew, assistant president of the local division United Daughters of the Confederacy; Bessie Martin Drew and Laura T. Cochran, of the same organization. Dr. DuBois also points out that the Republican presidential candidate's name on the Negro and his pro-immigrants has been nearly as great as Smith's.
Smith Fawna to South
If he would carry the South, Mr. Du Bols emphasizes. Smith "must be orthodox on the Negro according to Southern traditions. He has been so, and, in the future, according to Congressman Hill of Alabama. "Governor Smith says he will let us handle the Negro problem as we see fit. What more could we ask?"
"This is unfortunate for the Negro. Mr. Du Bols declares. "But it is far more unfortunate for the American people. It means that no attempt to liberate either the Republican or Democratic Party, or to start a new third-party movement, can succeed as long as the present branch is still of the Negro supports. a far more difficult."
"A rotten borough system has been built up in the South which has disfranchised 5,000,000 voters and put the political power of a third of the nation in the hands of fewer than a million voters!
"This Body of Death"
"The solid South cannot be liberal," he says, as it is built upon disfranchisement of both races, and upon widespread ignorance, intolerance, crime, lynching, neonage and slavery.
Smith's Golden Chance
This silence on the Negro question on the part of Loover—who "joined openly with the 'Lily Whites' of the South"—was "Smith's golden chance, Mr. Du Bols says, for political maneuvering for the Negro vote of the nation.
"If Al Smith would raise a finger to assure American Negroes that, while he was not necessarily a warm friend, at least he could not be classed as an enemy, he would re-
Statement Refused On Moses Issue
G. O. P. Headquarters Holds Senator Is a Free
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.—No one at the personal headquarters of Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential candidate, would make a statement relative to the injection of the racial issue in the campaign in New York City by Senator George H. Moses, eastern manager of the Republican National committee. Mr. Hoover himself is never quoted. It was said at the Hoover headquarters that Senator Moses is a free agent and may say anything that he pleases. Any statement explaining orifying his remarks concerning Ferdinand Q. Morron, New York civil service commissioner, and his dictating to a white stenographer, would have to be made by the Senator, it was stated. It was also added that comment could not be made upon every incident of that kind which happens from Maine to Texas. Senator Moses has always been regarded here as very liberal in his views on the race question.
ment as the "lowest plane of American politics." The Smith-for-President Colored League termed the talk "in line with statements being put by the Klu Klux Klan," William P. Hillier, a worker and lecturer, in a statement to The Amsterdam News, said in part:
"According to the newspapers, Moses tried to defend the Republican action by a sort of 'you-too' action by a sort of 'across the New York Democratic having Negroes dictating as higher officials to white women clerks."
"If Moses made that remark and it must be credited to him unless he flatly denies it), he is a very unit manager for any campaign, either Hower's cr. Smith's. He showed very poor skill in answer to the challenge of the enemy. When he was 'accused' of a square deal to Negroes, he should have said: 'Yes, we are treated people in office as we are treated people, and we notice that same Democrats do the same, as is shown fact that you Democrats in New York put colored men in positions of superiority to white people when those colored men mortt it."
Walter White to Lecture
Walter White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C.-P. will lecture before the International Club at the Ritual, Culture Society, 2 West Sixth-fourth street, on "The Negro Question: as a World Problem" on Sunday at 4 p.m. Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, will render an selection of Negro spirituals.

cive more Negro votes than any Democrat has ever received. . . ."
Smith, the little states, was asked and urged to express his views on the Negro, but he refused to say a word.
Although Negro Democratic headquarters were established, they were Jim-Crowed and existed without real authority, because the Democratic party initiated, he observes.
"For any same liberal in the United States to think that this body of death is going to be permeated by liberal opinions is clear evidence of incipient softening of the brain. If now the Southern Democratic bloc cannot become liberal, what chance is there that the Northern Democrats will become liberal? Nono at all."
"A vote for Al Smith is a vote for the Bourbon South. . . On the other hand, if the liberals turn and vote for the Democratic candidate) they throw their votes away just as surely as when they voted for Robert LaFollette.
"All of which shows that the problem of the Negro disfranchisement is not the problem of the Negroes; the government in the United States."
Pickens Picks Hoover
Laying stress upon which candidate, if elected, would be better for the interest and welfare of the Negro, William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., also emphasized the South's domination of the whole Democratic party in a recent statement to the western branch of the Republican National Committee. He also ventured against the Negro in the Democratic party, for fear he may claim some right or privilege from the Democratic powers." Mr. Pickens said.
Should Smith become elected and Vice-Presidential Candidate Joseph T. Robinson ever become President by the death of Smith, "no Negro could ever forgive himself for having voted for the national Democratic ticket."
William becomes President, they will not be discriminated against in government departments at Washington, they will be ousted and kept out altogether.
"This is a real menace to colored people," Mr. Pickens concluded.

she called on Mrs. Askew, a prominent caterer and church woman, whose husband is alleged to be the cause of the trouble between the two women. He is a hotel and poolroom proprietor.
She informed information given the police by Mrs. Askew, Miss Harris pointed a gun at her and fired, but the bullet did not take effect.
Mrs. Askew admits firing several shots at Miss Harris, but claims she did so in self-defense. Three of the bullets took effect in her chest and abdomen.
Mrs. Askew, who is being held by the Bridgeport police, says she could not attribute the fractures to any known motive except that Miss Harris may have gone suddenly insane. Miss Harris is slowly improving at the rate enough her condition is still critical.
Francis Eugene Corbie, law student, died in Trimbid, B. W. I., on Wednesday, Oct. 3, according to mail received here last Wednesday by Dr. Ernest MacDonald, 103 West 114th street, a close friend of the deceased.
Mr. Corbie, who was a native of the colony in which he died, had been ill for a long time and received treatment at the Presbyterian Hospital here. He went home three months ago with a hope of regaining his health. For about three weeks prior to his death Mr. Corbie was confined to bed at the residence of his cousin, Mrs. George Alcong, Dr. S. A. Hayes is the physician who attended him daily during his confinement.
For fifteen years Mr. Cobble lived in or around New York City, studying at the DeWitt Clinton High School, the College of the City of New York, and the Law School of Columbia University. At the completion of another year's study he would have received the degree of bachelor's law. At various meetings, including those in the Y. M. C. A., the intercollegiate conferences and sessions of the Pan-African Congress of 1837, he gave his view on the youth movement, government, the Negro race, Mahatma Gandhi, religion and sociology. As a person wholly interested in the youth movement, he made an extensive tour of Europe several years ago.
Mr. Cobble, who was born on September 29, 1878, is survived by his mother, who for forty years has lived at 239 West. 182d Street, two brothers, one, here, and one, West Indies; a niece and nephew. He was buried in the Woodbrook Cemetery.

Negro Not an Issue in Campaign, Editor Holds
BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.—Political leaders in the South, irrespective of party, are admonished to refrain from further raising the race issue, in an editorial appearing in the Manufacturer's Record, published in this city by Col. Richard H. Edmonds. The Record agrees with the Richmond News Leader that "the Negro is not an issue in this campaign," and expresses the hope that the newspapers on both sides will emphasize this fact in the interest of the general welfare.
"Left to themselves, the white people and the Negroes of the South will dwell together in amity and mutual benefit economically. This is a fact that the leaders of the Negroes group, and thus refrain herafter from promoting the 'race issue' or the 'Negro menace'. In the heat of a political campaign of a few weeks' duration they must be careful not to undo all that individuals and organizations have built into their lives of race and of harmony between the races in the Southern States."
Queens Families Threaten Riot
White Residents Resent Negroes Moving Into Neighborhood; Police Called
While the white and colored races live rather harmoniously together in Manhattan, not only on the same streets and in the same tenement houses but oftimes sleeping in the same beds, the Caucasians in ninety-first street, Emhureh, Queens, have been the most African Negro families that have moved into the block between Thirtieth and Thirty-first avenues. For the protection of the lives and property of the unwanted residents five patrolmen were placed on guard last week to keep order among the 150 whites. The police went on guard and the police were ordered to help to the Astoria police station last Wednesday as missiles were being thrown through the windows.
"Negroes—Stay Away"
When William Rice, white, sold his home at 30-43 to a colored family in this region of one family houses, the whites of the neighborhood immediately began to protest. The Caucasian fathers and mothers gent up the wall that they had moved to Emmhurst to afford their children sunshine and space to play and that they had not been allowed to other race—this other race undoubtedly having moved to Emmhurst for the very same reason.
Scarcely had the first newcomers moved into 30-43 before another Negro family arrived at the other end of the block in 30-01. "Enough are too many" the whites concluded and many of them placed in hospital and ominous placards in their windows as a sign of protest. Two men men erected large wooden signs and many of them placed in reading "Negroes—Stay Away, You're Not Wanted." The other sign said, "No Colored Need Apply."
William Reifer, real estate broker with offices at 103-15 Northern boulevard, Corona, is leading the fight against Edward Rozett, white president of the Elmhurst Manor Community Council, who has accused him of misleading clients in buying in the section.

Women Rout Trio Attacking Woman
Theories Conflict as Husband Charges Kidnapping; Police Seek Rowdies
Routed by two women tenants when one of their number attacked Mrs. Elizabeth Marian Lucas, 30, 11 East 131st street, as she was entering the building shortly before midnight Saturday, three men were being sought today by police of the East 126th street station.
Jack P. Lucas, husband of the woman whom one of the trio attempted to drag out the hallway into a taxicab, has expressed belief that kidnapping for immoral purposes was the motive. Detective Quinn, who is directing the investigation, stated Monday night that the man, possibly the toxicated, wanted to force their attentions upon her.
The husband is supported in his belief by Mrs. Nellie Williams and Mrs. Flora Thomas, whose alarm forced the grappler to release his hold upon Mrs. Lucas, summon a sword and drive away. They describe the attack as being of medium height and build, dark in complexion, with a pitted face, and well dressed. The theory of robbery has been discarded entirely, as the man made no effort to take the woman's purse. He entered the hall while a second man paced the sidewalk before the house when the woman began alarming the neighborhood, he whistled for the cab, threatened the routers and drove away with his accomplices.

Negro Problem Tests
AMERICAN Democracy
CINCINNATI, Oct. 15—That the Negro Problem constitutes one of the most American democracy is the opinion of Tulip B. Bunche of Howard University. This statement was made at the session on the Negro and public affairs, at the joint meeting of the National Municipal League, the Governmental Research Association, the Association of Civic Secretaries, the National Publication in Cincinnati at the hotel Sturgeon
The political program of the present day is not. whether the Negro can govern himself but to what extent he can co-operate with the dominant race in maintaining good government for all. Robert T. Landaite, executive secretary of the Negro Association, and Michael N. J., speaking at the same session, estimates that about a tenth of the total Negro population of the country has moved north of the Mason and Dixon line, and has thereby created a very difficult problem for Northern cities, especially in the fields of housing, public health, delinquency, and public welfare. The only way even to approach a satisfactory solution is for all persons to try to understand the attitude of the Negro instead of directing their efforts at them, he said.

“Really, I'm sorry for st all,” she

To Purchase Tenements
Mrs. Brown sald that someone
from the daily press called her re

weuld settle for a half-million and
fuvest the money in tenement
louses tu Harlem. Only tie. most
tiroit questioning, however, was the

“Real estate would bo the best In-

suxtous to drop the sult, especially
because she had wronged Harry and

$20,000,

WHAT will science give us next? Judging from the size of the Graf Zeppelin, as it appeared to naked eyes Monday afternoon around 4 o'clock, when it circled New York City and vicinity, inventions are growing larger and larger. Ordinarily, we consider aeroplanes fair-sized machines, but the four or more aeroplane escorts, which flew high above the airship, were so insignificant when compared with the Zeppelin.
Although this luxurious craft is the latest of a long line of famous airships, it is the fourth dirigible to try a flight across the Atlantic. The pioneer effort, which failed, was that of Walter Wellman, who wanted to go from Atlantic City to Ireland in 1910; a British dirigible, R-34, commanded by Major Scott, which flew from Scotland to New York and back to England in 1919, was the second; the ZR-3, later called Los Angeles, commanded by Dr. Hugo Eckener and many of the present crew of the Graf Zeppelin, was the third, and now the Graf Zeppelin itself.
Lady Drummond Hay was the only woman able to get in the passenger list. It is said that Lady Hay was a real heroine, for during the storms she found time to give words of encouragement to various passengers and members of the crew. Women, after all, are just "nice" to have along, for they certainly know how to mother, advise and encourage. This first attempt at commercial passenger carrying by air from Europe to America, though expensive, is a valuable monument to industrial activity and progress.—T.E.B.

M. A. S. J. Jackson writes from Rutherfordton, N. C. "I would get up mornings and my joints would ache. I would feel sore. I would feel sloppy and stupid. I didn't feel like I wanted to work. "I heard of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape."
Palins in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been absorbed into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much roller has been found, in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels are regularly and freely every day. Ford's Black-Draught should be taken as often as necessary to open the bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity.

HOUSEWINE EXCHANGE
Colorful Bathrooms.
The day of the cold, colorless bathroom, more like an operating room than part of a house, has gone. Modern housewives have decided that it is possible to be sanitary and colorful at the same time, and in keeping with the brilliant new porcelain fixtures, bathroom linens are gay and twice as attractive as they used to be.
With one bedroom done in green, one in rose and another in orchid, each must have its own harmonizing linens. The attractive huck-towel borders are easily done and are very effective. The material used for these borders is fine mercerized embroidery cotton, and the work is done with a coarse, blunt-pointed crewel with a fine, smooth cotton. The run under the horizontal threads of the toweling and left loose enough to avoid any puckering. Threads are fastened on the underside by running along under a few horizontal stitches, otherwise the color is seen only on the right side.
Towels decorated with individual handwork are excellent suggestions for church bazaars and lovely gifts for Christmas or for the bride's gay new bathroom.
Girl Scout News
BY EVELYN HILL.
Age 13.
All set—let's go! Each Scout looking forward to her goal!
The new girls this year are working hard to pass their tenderfoot test. All the old Scouts are preparing to pass their second and first class tests and merit badge work.
With twelve new girls, Troop 51, on Sixty-third street, had an excellent initial meeting on Friday.
Troop 92 nearly had a full troop this week. Soon Mrs. Golden Blenc will have to close the doors. These Scouts hiked Friday. Many of the girls passed their fire building tests.
Troop 93 today at 4 o'clock will meet Mrs. Blenc, temporarily, at the Urban League.
Troop 108 showed its skill at cooking by preparing and serving a tasty supper on Tuesday, October 9. Miss Louise Parrot, Miss Wilhelmina Lewis and 26 Scouts enjoyed the meal immensely. The Girl Scouts' nature trail lured these Scouts on Columbus Day.
We also hear that Troop 105 is planning a snappy play. There seem to be many novel plans up Captain "Buddy" Russell's sleeve.
On October 22 the Scout Leaders' training class will begin.
Those who desire information concerning the Girl Scouts can get in touch with Miss Louise Parrot at the Urban League, 204 West 136th street.
All Scouts go swimming on Mondays at the "Y" from 3 to 6. It's lots of fun!
Y.W.C.A. Notes
To go into the Y. W. C. A., 117 West 137th street, at 7 p. m., jaded in body and spirit; to meet other girls; to greet each other gaily and to begin at once to feel an uplift of spirit which the fellowship of friends brings; to run up to the third floor for skates and on to the root for a half hour of exercise in the open air; to come back to the gym for a basketball game or a half hour of rhythmic dancing and the limpman dance. And so the Y. W. C. A. club girl's evening program, begins on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. And this is only half!
The girls go from the gym to the Rose Club Room to play checkers; gather around the plano and sing; do handcarmart; read magazines or select a book to take home from the circulating library. There is always much business of planning for hikes and parties, for vesper services and many other activities—and the girls frequently all join together in a discussion of some problem to themselves. clubs are girls from 17 years of age up and they meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 o'clock. A girl's membership in the branch is her membership to the club.
More than 300 dinners will be held all over the country on Tuesday evening by business girls and other

Cooking Hints
Use your left-over bits of pie dough for making tarts. Fit the bits into small pans and add portions of fruits or jelly; sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and cover with criss-cross strips of dough. Such tarts are nice for the children for lunches and for picnics.
A fruitful milk shake may be made by omitting chocolate and using one-fourth cup of crushed pineapple, one tablespoon of any beverage syrup or fruit juice to taste.
Club celery may be made by cutting clean, tender celery, hearts or small celery stalks lengthwise with a long sharp paring knife so that they fall into three or four pieces.
Toast straws may be made by clipping toasted bread-fingers in moist butter or honey and then rolling in ground nut meats.
If you moisten chopped stuffed olives with mayonnaise and spread on a buttered slice of bread, spreading another slice with any cream or cheese you pressing the delicious ones you will have a delicious olive sandwich.
Household Hints
Do you have a kitchen color scheme? If so, paint your pantry shelves a light tint to harmonize with this color scheme. If you use a coat of enamel it will thus be possible for you to wash and clean it casly.
Every once in a while you have occasion to mail flowers. If so, stick the stems in small potatoes and the flowers will retain their freshness for several days. Potatoes furnish nourishment.

Looking Your Best
BY PANELLE
High Heels Not a Necessity.
YES, it's something that most of you hate to confess. There is a saddened tone in your voice when you admit that you can't walk on high heels. You wonder if it's an admission of advancing age, or physical weakness, or old maldistress, or common sense. You imagine that you're never really dressed unless you have on high heels. Perhaps you feel so that you hate to look in display windows of shoe shops.
High heels are so chic looking in the show window, but comfortable on one out of every twenty-five pairs of feet!
If you're bowleged, or knockkned, or if your legs are too thin or too fat, you'll look all the worse with high heels.
If you've a tendency to be roundshouldered, high heeled shoes will naturally make you stoop.
Aside from the fact that they are harmful for general wear, they are far too apt to spoil your whole appearance.
You don't necessarily have to wear flat heels. The Cuban and baby French are both comfortable and good looking. Besides, they keep their shape longer and are much more of a support.
With high heels, as with everything else, you've got to realize that what's becoming to others may be unsuited for you.
Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN
An Evening at Home
GIRLS, did it ever occur to you to suggest spending an evening at home? Must you continually go to the movies or parties or dances? Remember that you are being sized up always. A young man is a little wary of the girl who is apparently never satisfied. He wonders what kind of a wife she will make. Every man wants a home-loving wife.
There are many ways to spend a happy evening at home. You can listen in over the radio, or play cards or the good old game of checkers. There are the piano and photograph. You can easily spend an evening in conversation, there being so many things to talk about that the time will pass quickly and profitably. Show your sweetheart that, you can be happy with his company at home. Don't let him think that you are a realless, discontented little butterfly—he'll become frightened when it comes to proposing!
Dear Egypt Ann:
I love a young man and he loves me. Now my problem is this: We quarrel almost every time we see each other. Although we "liss and make up," it seems that we must quarrel again, usually the cause being a petty one.
Please tell me what I can do. I hate these quarrels.
Good luck to you and your column.
M. J.
Dear M. J.:
You know it takes two to make a quarrel. Suppose you be the one to refuse to quarrel. If your young man says something cutting, ignore it; smile and talk about something else.
Don't be ready to snap him up on everything he says. If you feel yourself getting angry, remember the consequences are bitter quarrels and hurt feelings.
Try not to provoke him. Seek the underlying cause of your spats and remove it. Think carefully and you'll be above quarreling.

King Vidor Finds His Most Interesting Type Working for Amsterdam News
King Vidor Finds His Most Interesting Type Working for Amsterdam News
Exclusive Stories Carried in This Paper Developed Most Interesting Situation and Honey Brown, Daniel Haynes, Victoria Spivey and Harry Gray Are Selected for "Halleluja"
Just before he left with his technical staff for Memphis, Tenn., late Thursday night to prepare for filming the exterior scenes of his all-Negro sound picture, "Hallelujah," King Vidor announced that his country-wide search for ideal types to play the leading roles has been ended with the signing of four colored players in New York.
The four of these successful candidates being exclusively announced for the first time through The Amsterdam News are Daniel Haynes, a stage player, who has been in Florenz Ziegfeld's "Show Boat"; Honey Brown, dancing star at the Club Harlem; Victoria Spivey, famous singer on Okey Records, and Harry Gray, an employee of this paper, who was finally signed on Saturday.
In his search for types Mr. Vidor made personal tests in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Besides these, scores of screen tests from various parts of the country were submitted to him. As he had written the scenario for "Hallelujah" himself, Mr. Vidor had a definite idea of exactly what he wanted in the way of personality in the players. Because the picture was going to have sound sequences it was necessary for the successful candidates to have pleasing voices as well as comely faces and good physiques.
A most interesting situation developed in the search in New York. Chances are that never before have the entertainment centers in Harlem's night life been so stirred as over the competition for the parts in this all-Negro production. Hundreds of women applied at the MetroGoldwyn-Mayer offices.
The winners, who will leave to join the director in Memphis within two or three days, agreed that the news that they had been selected was the happiest moment in their lives.
Honey Brown, who had gone to be a teacher of 8 A. M., in order to meet Mr. Vidor at the unearthly hour—for her—of 10 A. M., in order to learn her fate, said to an interviewer last week:
"I am so excited I can't keep quiet for secrecy and I can't even think how I feel." She is the lappest moment of my life.
"My folks wanted me to be a business girl," she explained as she sat twisting about in a chair and rolling her eyes. Suddenly, she threw back her head and laughed musically (all the players for the picture were seated with the uniqueness of their voices) and exclaimed:
"A business girl. Why, I just couldn't sit still that long.
"I was born in Chicago," she continued, "and my family planned for me to be a stenographer, and I planned for me to be a dancer. My family stenographing, and I taught myself to dance in front of the mirror when my family wasn't looking. And look where I am now."
Miss Brown, who was born in Chicago, was one of the first women she was discharged for practicing dance steps in the corridor. She put on her hat and coat and walked on her hat and coat and worked the "Keep Shufflin'" company, with which she remained until it closed. She went on to Go. For some time she has been one of the leading cabaret entertainers in Harlem.
Daniel Haynes started out as a minister, became a business man, and then was made an actor by the theater company, but notice into understudy for Chas. Gilpin in "The Bottom of the Cup," Gilpin's sickness caused Haynes to open in the leading role. His press notices were most fattering. He has been a star in "Show Boat," and played that part four weeks while Bledsoe was ill.
Haynes is a graduate of Morris Brown University in Atlanta, Georgia. His *Bldg.place*, and went to Chicago, where he worked on A. M. degree, but left before he had completed the necessary work. Harry Gray, who was the last one to be signed but the first to be laid out as the perfect type for a building, which he did, him is the most interesting character of all those selected for the much talked about picture. He has been in Harlem for some time and has been taking care of the buildings which house The Amsterdam News.
Gray, who is eighty-six years of age, was a slave in his early days and came to New York from Michigan, where he had been engaged to appear on the silver screen than this man whom any writer would hesitate to call old despite the span of years which has passed. He is also the vigor of a man forty years younger. He is known to hundreds of people who daily pass up and down Seventh avenue and scores of other avenues and that intelligent conversation proves that his mind is fully alive to the events of the past and present. With a remarkable memory which reaches back to childhood, those calls those days which have left an apparently irradiable mark on the nation and on his people. "Mustually health and strong event of one Gray has the distinction of being one of the few of his race placed to work by hard taskmasters at the tender age of six months. Those acquainted with Gray will readily recognize the truth of the above statement, albeit hundreds not conversant with those taskmasters in the task of reading will wonder just what infant of six could do as a worker.

Snyder to Build On Long Island
Former Manager of Lincoln to Erect House at St. Albans
Raymond Snyder, who managed the Lincoln Theatre on 135th street for the past ten years, has waved his theatrical hand over St. Albans and will bring happiness to thousands of people. He christens his new theatre St. Albans in the early part of December. St. Albans is probably the only town in Long Island without a picture house or theatre, so Ray lost me in selecting a site on the main street of the theatre with a seating capacity of 1,700 along the lines of the celebrated Embassy Theatre in New York, which was built for Gloria Gould. There will be no balcony, the windows will be a stylish or design that will make every room one, regardless of where it is situated.
The interior of the St. Albans, Mr. Snyder says, will rival that of any theatre of its type in the country. Harble columns brought from Italy, the old impressions and draperies, ivory and gold decorations will combine in display to thrill the patrons of the new playhouse. The latest type Robert Morton organ, as usual, is in the most exclusive theaters, and the new theatre and vaudeville will be presented Saturdays and Sundays. Mr. Snyder, who is an able veteran of the theatre, will personally direct the new theatre. He affectionately refers to the new theatre as the "Temple of Amusements."
On the opening night Mr. Snyder promises the best in silent and talkable performances and female stars from several shows who will help dedicate the new theatre. As there are quite a number of colored home-owners not far from the new house, it is ex-ample that Mr. Snyder be glad to welcome them to the open many years in a community where Negroes are the only patrons of the theatre he once managed.
The Heart Of a Tap Dancer
A LILTING malody brings Bill Robinson, sensational tap dancer in *New Leslie's* "Blackbirds of the Stilure Theatre* every performance. The rat-tat-tat of his talented feet have made him famous. His smile is infectious. He is a thorough showman, and he makes believe, he has a heart that outlides even his remarkable tap dancing, and there are some who concede that he is the greatest tap dancer in the world.
Born in poverty, Bill Robinson has learned from the struggles of life what encouragement means, and he has helped him along the pat hi stu dorm. and now Bill Robinson is repaying those early debts by helping him with an unusually difficult time, getting started. The field is so limited and so many histrionically gifted men and women try to break into the world, but the stranded because of the lack of opportunity. Most of them are strangers in New York and, faced with destination, either rush home home or bosses for existence here is her heroie.
It is here that Bill Robinson figures so prominently. Somehow word comes to him of an actor in sore straits. He opens not only his eyes but his mouth. Bill Robinson has risen to stardom and his salary runs into four figures, and he feels every ambitious and talented actor of his race is entended by him. He has the tap dances, who appears to have not a worry in the world, cares through the year for an untold number of poor but grateful artists. Not only that, but he has made himself an manager of the greatest managers in an effort to place certain of his charities who, he feels, are unusually gifted. It is little wonder then, that Harlow overcame Bill Robinson not only one of the greatest artists of his race, but a philanthropist as well.

They Are to Star in Vidor's Big Movietone "Hallelujah."

Many Attend Haitian Benefit
Dramatic Plays Won Strong Approval and Audience Went Away Pleased
At Liberty Hall last Saturday evening quite a representative gathering turned out to witness the two plays presented by Haitians in behalf of the hurricane sufferers in Haiti some weeks ago. Mme. Theodorea Holly opened the proceedings with a splendid address. Monsieur Jean LaMothe, a young Haitian musician, who accompanied Monsieur Theophile Salainte in the presentation of his chansonnette "Halli Will Live," als translated in English for the French audience with the French language, "L'Oracle," first of the plays to be
sented, was acted in French and although quite a few present could not understand the language, the acting was of such a high nature the action was almost easily followed. The second play, "The Glory of Race," was presented in English and many present asserted it proved the latent ability of the fellow actors to work with a dwarfish historical background left by their forbears, rose to great heights in this latter piece.
At the conclusion of the presentations Mme. DeMona thanked those present for the wonderful support of the fellow actors, noting the many reasons for the support of a people who had the courage of their convictions in those days when they fought so that their children could enjoy the liberty for them so that they gave of their blind and treasure.
It is more than likely that the artists will accede to the insistent demands of their friends that the plays be repeated some time in the near future. Many believe that from this small beginning something big will come of the efforts of the experience concerned in the future, the present, until the early morning and had an enjoyable time.

Schiffman Not Well
By the Editor
Although there is no reason to believe there is cause for alarm in the report that Frank Schiffman, manager of the Lafayette Theatre, will most likely go to the hospital within the next twenty-four hours, the many friends of the energetic controlling of the interests controlling the Seventh avenue house will be anxious until such time as he is again on the job.
It is the personal opinion of the democratic Amsterdam News that Mr. Schiffman is more in need of a rest than anything else. The business acumen which he brought to Harlem and here found application to his work, combined with the long hours which he has put in in keeping to the front, has made Schiffman a power to be involved with in the theatrical world.
When Mr. Schiffman first took charge of the Lafayette we predicted the success which would be his and ours, and we were here did we find it necessary to depart from anything we said in praise of him at the time. As stated in these columns some weeks ago, our personal regal or honorary degree was always been of the highest, and if all times we have had reason to differ with him or any policy he might have announced, it has been with nothing but honest intent in behalf of our people. One of the outstanding reasons which gave us the inspiration to carry on was that we felt we knew Schiffman better than anybody else in the community. We had many attempts certain of our so-called friends in past to make him believe that we are other than what we claim to be, always showed a tendency to approach and be friendly but also the peevishness so readily seen in others.
If Mr. Schiffman can maintain oven an appearance of a friendship reaching back to his past, it is out of place for us to line up with his friends and extend the hand of good fellowship even though his illness be slight. As we concerned there will be misunderstandings from time to time. Some of us see things in one light; others see the same things in a different light and the same things in an equally enjoyable opportunity for friendly discussion an understanding can always be reached. In all the years that we have tried to understand people, people suffering the greatest ills in this country, it would be hard to say that we have found any man who, under the circumstances, could have contributed in an attitude which in the final analysis has made such an impression it is with all the honesty in the world that we wish the stalemate like tenacity a speedy recovery and a continuation of the success of
The Person Behind the Throne
THE BEST OF THE BEST
Presents Company of Fifty Entertainers in This Week's Show
No doubt many persons in the community smiled when announcement was made that Drake and Walker would attempt to "carry on" at the Drake-Walker Theatre and when energetic Henry signed a year's lease at the theatre on 125th street they perhaps issued a broader smile.
The company got off to a big start last week and Sunday night, which is a big night at every theater. The Drake Theatre and they were forced to turn them away. When the show opened on Monday afternoon Drake had so much show the audience got it down to fit into the allotted time.
"Look Who's Here" brought in quite a number of performers that other theatres have featured from the past. Jackie Mably, George Williams, Kitty Ablanche, Baby De Leon, Wilson and Goins, the Frisco Triple Princess Helene, and young and Lee are but some of the well known performers in the stage at the Drake this week.
That intelligence which has made it possible for Henry Drake to sit on the seat of the mighty 'way above the others in his line is noted the manner in which he has read and answered him with such a large array of entertainers. Most men of color in his place would immediately try to get by on a shoe string, but Drake has out and made a great stab to enter hot competition with all rivals.
Few theatres here have had any larger number of people all at one time putting over their work, and if it was the case, the Drake he has set, success in bound to crown his efforts. Next week the company will appear in another big revue entitled, *Rex*. He Henry Drake, who only makes up time when all the popular artists will be seen working at the Drake. Henry Drake also enjoys a splendid opportunity to prove to the world the talent he has over the footlights without any resort to the salacious and without the smutty jokes which the theatres have been known to point the way and make the Drake Theatre a place that will induce the majority of the colored people in Harlem to take pride in their work. The thing is colored, from the front to the last brick back of the stage.

which he is so richly deserving. The real truth of the matter where we are concerned is that we have been moved with a greater urge to show the world what we have failed to learn from such as Schiffman than to blame him for being fully alive to opportunities not so easily available. By a strange coincidence we found Robert Levy, former general manager of the Quality Amusement Corporation, the same way, and the museum and lingered been amicably washed away and it was seen and recognized that we were incidental in the matter, that museum which was the result brought illumination which was the closer appreciation for one another.

Whitman Sisters Revue Again Hits at the Lafayette
Coming East for the first time in almost two years, the family Whitman Sisters opened a week-long engagement on Monday at their latest musical comedy revue, "Hello Dixie Land." The Whitman Sisters' shows have always ranked first in the group of those few colored sisters in their year. Created, managed and owned by the most famous women in the colorful theatre world, the Whitman Sisters' revues have always been outstanding works of revue entertainment. And this year's show is by far the greatest which these famous sisters have ever produced. In an entirely new set of dresses costumes and against a series of gorgeous new scenic backgrounds, "Hello Dixie Land" was baited by the audience as the best bit of revue entertainment which audiences have enjoyed in a long time.
The cast of "Hello Dixie Land" members 47 entertainers. There is also a ten piece jazz band under the leadership of Troy Snapps. The cast is headed by Bernice Ellis, a singer; the band's voice: Dick Campbell, a superb tenor; Sambo Reld and Wilo Tooth sweet, comedians; Leon & Douglass, masters of the Ukelele; Pops & Billy, wonderful juvenile dancers; and Bert & Alice Whitman, the two sisters—one blonde, the other brunette, on the stage as the most fetching man-and-woman camelot team.
It was hard to judge which of these entertainers Monday afternoon's audience at the Lafayette theater seemed the best. A show shortly scheduled took place two hours and twenty minutes lasted for two hours and fifteen minutes. Each of the principals was enthusiastically received. The chorus also came in and performed, particularly to praise, particularly after rendering an unusually pleasing "Doll Dance." "Hello Dixie Land" is created by label Whitman and staged by her with the assistance of her two pianists, and the instruments and scenery were designed and made under the supervision of Miss Essie Whitman. These four actors have created entertainment for the member of the family which they may well see and thoroughly enjoy. The photoplay part of the program include as the feature, Allan Branx's production of *Jarrod* on a screen version of the famous Saturday Evening Post novel.
Brown Skin Models at Lafavette Next Week
Announcement is made by Ivine C. Miller of the presentation of the fourth edition of his annual classic, the Lafayette Theatre next week. Mr. Miller has decided to abandon painting of his shows over the T. O. B. A. time which includes many small houses, and concentrate his attention on the construction of Deluxe reuves and musical comedies for the Lafayette Theatre and the two or three large colored theatres in the East. The "Brown Skin Models" was produced primarily for presentation at the Lafayette Theatre although the show will have had two weeks, preliminaries and a celebration and in Newark before coming to the Lafayette next week. Miller has "spread himself" in his latest production. With a cast of 12,000 actors, a chorus of eleven of the most beautiful girls in America, and scenery and costumes costing from $12,000 to $14,000, the "Brown Skin Comedy" is the most gorgeous musical comedy which Miller has ever produced.
Special attention has been paid to the comedy element of the show, and reports from the preliminary run of the show affect the Miller has staged some new comedy situations which are the funniest ever. Peter Mackalli and Jack Mulhall will be seen in "Lady Do Good" as the featured in the photoplay program to be presented together with "Brown Shin Models."

Items From Europe
By Ivan M. Browning.
Greenelee and Dactylon, the dapper dancing boys, are still the big noise at the exclusive Chez Taglioni in Gerard street. Those boys are certainly the class Negro team of old Brooklyn, but they are the best of them. They were compelled to walk off the Halladium bill recently on account of being wrongly treated by the management. How can they be so good? They least. They have a beautiful act and are assisted by two charming and good-looking girls in Miss Haze Anderson. Shepherd and Hilda added a new contract with Chez Taglioni and will remain in London for quite some time. They will play the London Stoll dates, beginning Oct. 8, at the Colleum. Our race really acts like Greenelee and Dactylon.
Walter Richardson and Jimmie Ferguson, also Cora La Tea, are the real hits in Clayton and Waller's new Virginia show, which is to show them in a fortnight. They show them in away with the show as most Negroes do in Oafay shows, and being in Europe they have a much better chance to do anything they are big enough to do therewith their success is assured. Haitian singer "Roll Away Clouds," a Negro jubilee type of song written by an Englishman, is a generation and is casually the hit of the show.
"Slow Kid" Thompson is still holding his own in Berlin and will soon be headed for London, where he will play Variety dates, before returning to the States.
All the Negro artists are very busy in England now since the season has started and it looks like another fine season for our group on this side.
Leon Abbey and his band have arrived in Paris and will remain indefinitely in the popular city. They had a great season in the south of France and are due to return early next year.
Miss Zaldee Jackson is an established radio favorite in England and has been appearing at the Piecadilly Club, besides appearing in the new May Edington play "Deadlock" as a certain raiser. Miss Jackson is most attractive and womanly, and Johnayne's recent party, as was the over popular Alberta Hunter.
The Three Eldies are playing eight weeks in the town of Co. T and the Stoll tour; the boys are always a big hit. Chick Horsey is often seen in the West End in his classy 1928 Dick, while Cilenton has his nice looking Fessel. George H. Dashner, hsso with the Four Harmony Klage, has ordered a new English bassist. Touiring with the roads and scenery are very beautiful, indeed.

Colored Entertainers in Ambassador Theatre Show
Of more than usual interest to the colored citizens of New York should be the present engagement of the new musical revue, "Just a Minute," at the Ambassador Theatre.
In the show there is a unit of colored entertainers headed by Miss Maude Russell, well known in Harlem night clubs and in colored musical plays; Peek-A-Boo Jimmie Johnson, said by many to be one of the best dancing teams on the stage today, and the ten Ebony Steppers, the last named being a unit of colored dancing girls who have been allotted singing and dancing girls available. Billie Yarbo, recently a solo artist, is now one of the ensemble. No more pleasing artist has brightened the musical concert stage of black or white—and she is proving just as popular with the Park avenue theatrægre as she was with her Harlem admirers. Incidentally, she has one of the song hits of the old school who got a Cookie Jar But No Cookies.

Chicago Boy Chosen by Vidor for Second Male Lead
Prior to his departure last week for location headquarters in Memphis, King Vidor announced selections of colored players for his new soundtrack, and he will go into production next week. The two principal parts in the new film will be given to Daniel Haynes, who has been appearing in "Show Boat," and Honey Brown, star singer Haynes. The film will be seen as Zoke, rugged young Negro who is the chief protagonist of the Vidor story, and Miss Brown will have the part of Chick, a spiniron. The ingenuue role of the Negro will be played by Brieve, who has appeared in a number of local night clubs and has also made a large number of phonograph recordings. Everett McCarrary, 17-year-old Chicago colored boy, was hired by the director spotted him in the orchestra of a Chicago theatre and suggested a screen test. He will have the second male lead in the new film. Definite decisions have not yet been made about the other two chick roles as of the father and mother of Zoke.
Daniel Haynes first attracted the attention of New York theatre-goers when he stepped at the last minute to play the role of "Cup," which liters forced Charles Clipin to vacate. He is a graduate of Morris Brown University in Atlanta and a physique and a rich harboring voice, and a long time in the "Rang Tang." Honey Brown, whom Vidor believes to be an unusual screen find, has a unique experience. When a stonographer in Chicago, who lost her job because the boss found her practicing dance steps during the moon, he played the carousel and played in the colored music piece, "Keep Shufflin."

Realism in the Alhambra Playlet
"Dusty" Fletcher and John Mason Continue to Make 'Em Laugh
Realism that grips the audience in the keynote of this week's drama at the alhambra.
"While London Sleepe" undertakes to show one of the wicked sides of life in a great city. George Rendall is a bully, terrorizing an unfortunate woman, played by Susie Sutton.
Barrington Carter has the part of Lazarus, a receiver of stolen goods; Ted Blackman plays a sneak-thief, and Artie Caldwell a society woman boy drolice in the underworld.
Billy Andrews plays a rich young man and Elise Bennett, a society woman. The drama calls for real acting and that is what the cast demands.
The somber plot is relieved by many a flash of wit and humor. The tragic close of the play brought separate curtain calls and bows for all
"The Speed Limit" is really a fast-moving musical comedy affair. The sixteenth chambre G. Gisem appears in the second and the third appear captured by Charles Ray, then by Julia Moody, Elsoe Bennett, then Kona Young, and finally by the Alambra cheer leader, Amanda Randall. Dusty Fletcher runs a cigar store but baseball is his ruin. John Mason Kona Young, and finally the Alambra cheer leader, Amanda Randall. Pleasure dispenses serio-comic talk and dances which nobody else attempts, or is likely to attempt. The picture feature is of unusual interest in the international star. It is called "Autumn Love," and abounds in runen scenes. The daylight midnight rumble will be attended by a number of the Ziegfeld cast and friends.
Speakin' o' Ed. Smalls
EDWIN SMALLS, proprietor of Smalls' Paradise, 135th street and Seventh avenue, is one of Harlem's big little men. That old saying about "nobody loves a fat man" is certainly the bunk where Ed is concerned, for he is loved by hundreds. This plump little fellow with the jovial mood and smiling features has done many an act of kindness that will probably never be heard of. So let us give Ed the flowers while he can sniff them. Come on, folks, give this fellow a hand! And to top it all, Ed is a man who loves the manner in which his own people ignore the services which he offers them in the form of high-class entertainment in one of the finest and cleanest cities in the city and to heart.
The oaths nearly break down the doors trying to get in on the biggest night club bargain in Manhattan, while Ed's fellow Aframericans delight more in patronizing some pleasure Joint run by the white race who are getting fat off of Harlem.
Anyway, we're darn glad to see Ed taking on a little weight himself, if you get what we mean.
Unlike Dlogenes who went about Athons one bright, sunny noonday with a lighted lantern looking for an honest man, Edwin Smalls had no trouble at all finding Duncan Campbell, even if it had been midnight and Ed had had no lantern. Campbell is in charge of that little appetite factory at Smalls where, with the assistance of two Chinamen, they serve some of the doggonedest, best-est, eats you ever devoured.
What's more, Ed proved his race loyalty by evading (that's what I said, "giving," not selling) Campbell the kitchen concession. No, he didn't lease it to Campbell, he gave it to him, I'm telling you, because he wanted to see a Negro get an honest-to-God chance to make a little something. Is Campbell making it? Ask me another. He feeds an average of 300 people every night, and on Saturday—well, so and see.
The Broadway Concession, a white organization that specializes in clockrooms all over Manhattan, has been buying and best paying clockrooms anywhere in New York. Think not! All right, check it up. The only reason a Nogan hasn't got a clockroom is that Ed told me "is because they wouldn't take it I gave it to them for almost nothing. I've tried it. It didn't work. These white follows pay more for it and it works." Ed has a total of ninety-six persons in his employ. Patrons are given an earful of jazz, a glass of soft wine, a ball of dance, and floor show that just won't don't—all for one little dollar. You can't beat that. I tell you; and neither can you date up any of those floor show beauties. Ask Ed.
Stephen Hassett, 200 West 126th (not 136th) street, in securing the release on bond of Jimmy Baskett from prison, he met the man he had confined following his arrest Oct. 2 because he used his own revolver in a scene as a prop.

Won't You Pleez Come And Play Wiz Me?
The Henry Five, New York City's leading 155-pound amateur basketball team, with last year's city champs, are mournful these days. They want to play with the other boys of their own size but, according to the plaintive tone on which they harmonize in a doleful minor key:
"Nobody wants to play with us." They're even willing to travel over to the other boys' yards to play with them, but it seems as though they have been cut off all calling lists in and near town.
It's just what happens to all the boys that happens to play with the other fellows, they claim. They find themselves in the position of some rough and tough boxer who has

You're in the Movies at Lincoln
That Is, if You Want a Screen Test That Will Perhaps Place You
Commencing next Monday and lasting for five days only, the Lincoln Theatre on 135th street will inaugurate a series of screen tests to find out if any patron of the theatre will be among the lucky ones to be selected for the million-dollar motif picture to be made by one of the leading firms in the United States. The pictures will be shown the following week after they are taken and admirers will have the double satisfaction of seeing themselves in action on the silver screen.
The musical revue this week is called "Red Hot" and comes pretty near living up to its name. If the actors are Frances and Orsch, Johnny Lee Long, Skeets Winston, Charlie and Lawrence, and the twelve Lincoln Stoppers,
he no doubt, the handsome boy, who has been making good as a Paramount leading man, has another excellent part in the new Wallace Beery-Rockminton lion team comedy, "The Lincoln Theatre." The Lincoln Theatre for the later half of the week commencing Thursday. Beery and Hatton are, as usual, the round pegs in the square holes. They stumble into the thick of the crowd, and then find a soft job. Then they find themselves busier than they have ever been before, dodging bullets. Next week the Lincoln will bring "Habits" five people. This musical tab will easily hold its own with the best now being offered in these parts.

FOR a play which involves characters from many different nations, "Goln' Home" is probably as perfect a title as mortal man could have conceived in a lifetime of concentration on the subject. However, Ransom Rideout, the author, did not devote even half a lifetime to naming his play, for he still is a young man—young enough, in fact, so that this is the first play from his typewriter to reach the professional stage. "Goln' Home," which is presented by Brock Pemberton at the Theatre Maquette.
The nations represented in "Goln' Home" include not only the Scandinavian, but the Russian, French, Irish and African—the latter in the form of a group of Negroes who play a large part in this military play which does not contain the terrific cannonading so common in battle scenes. This is possible because the action of "Goln' Home" takes place after the signing of the Armistice in 1918—almost exactly ten years ago. It is the tale of a battalion of Negroes about to embark on the long journey after the cessation of hostilities.
The honor of France is upheld in "Goin' Home" by George Renavent, recently seen here in the revival of "Dame" by the French company Ballet of America. The glamorous Barbara Bulgakov, formerly of the Moscow Art Theatre, and the ballet company of the Russian Imperial Ballets Orchestra, are present in "Goin' Home" to represent Russia. Ralph Cullinan ally takes care of the Irish element and represents the Negro contingent includes Clarence Redd, Breward Burnett, Leo Balloy, Soiffert C. Pyle, F. Barley Trigg, Ferdinand J. Accoosa, J. William Browne, Charles Benjamin, Fred H. Jennings, Ray Giles and Shipman Moya.

Both Colored Fighters Are
Anxious for Chance to
Show Their Wares
One again the march of Roberto
Roberti, giant Jtalian heavyweight,
to the ‘championship of the world
has been halted by physteal com-
pifeations. 2
First Robert was scheduled to
meet George Gouirey at Ebbets
Field on Oct. 3 under the direction
of Promoter Humbert J. Fuguxy and
was unable to go through with the
engagement when he Is said to have
developed a sevoro cold. Roberti
was willing, nay anxious, to faght
Godfrey as’ soon us he recovered,
they say, but it seems that Lit
Gawge had two previous appoint-
ments that would interfere with
auch a meeting.
Next Robert! was scheduled to do
Battle with Paulino Uzcudan, the
Basque woodchopner, at Ebbets
Field Wednesday night and yester-
day Promoter Fugazy found it nec-
esarry to cancel this bout when It
Was discovered that the Two Bobs
of the ring had cracked a couple
of ribs, ‘Thus tt fs that the Italian
fs prevented trom getting his chance
against both of the foremost con-
tendors for the crown vacated by
Gens Tunney.
Signor Fugazy was much pez:
turbed by this latest turn of events
in the fece of the whispering that
has gone abroad to the effect that
Robert! ran out on Godfrey, In an
efort to put the whisperings in
thefr place, Fugazy yesterday cir-
culated an open letter to the press,
which follows {n part: |
“Feeling that Roberto Robert! bas
‘been unjustly crittelzed for failure,
through conditions over which he
had no control, to go through with
two proposed bouts T, as the pro-|
moter of theso matches, am taking
this opportunity to forward infor
mation and state my own opinion in
‘the matter in an effort to correct
“the erroneous impression that
seems to prevail in certain quar-
ters.
“when Rober! was unable to
box it was belleved he was sutter-
ing from nothing more than a}
heavy cold because of the com-
plaiot he made of shooting pains in
his uper body. When tho same
complaint developed as he was
training for Paulino Uzcudun, an
Xray taken at the Nyack Hospital
by Dr, eGorge A. Leitner, revealed
mo broken its, one of long stand-
ng.
“This was substantiated by Dr.
Alexander Schitt, of the New Yori:
State Athletic Commission.
"In view of these reports, follow-
fog the unjust erlticism provoked
by Robert!’s {nability to go through
with elther the Godfrey or Paulino
matches, I feol that ft Is, onty fair,
on my part, es the promoter, to put
the boxer's true case before the
public.
‘"[ mention this with q desire to
refute any criticlem on Roberti's
courage, which most vertainly was
‘beyond ‘question in any of his ring
engagoments in this county.”
Because there has been an un-
usually big advance sale and be-
cause he does not Ike to disapoiat
Ris clfents a second time. Fuzazy
today 1s casting about for a sult-
able substitute to use agalust Paul
fno. Among those under considera.
tion are Bill Hartwell, the Kansas
Behemoth, who defested Larry
Gaines, the winner on a foul over

Deuglas, manager of the most successful professional outfit which, as
everybedy knows, constitutes the Renaissance Five, had his. schooling In
tho amateur game, and has always encouraged it. And if we are to judge
by the qualitics watch we have found in “Bob” it is fair to assume that he,
too, came from amateur circles with that splendid rocord which made his
success in after life possible. ‘i
‘Amateur athletics Iafd the foundation for everything wo enjoy in

this country on the shores of that
talmy: state. He has been boxing in
‘the South and mid-West and has yet

Wo know that folie songs aro
characterized by a freshness and
simplicity, a direciness of utterance,
which are seldom attained by con:
scious efforts of genius. We know
that the cultivators of artiatic mu

thelr material ready to handle only
in the folk songs of the people” Such
melody was an outgrowth of merc
Intonation (the yoice), while the
rhythm was that of the ‘text.

carefully to all folk songs, ‘They

peoples.”
They are Ike wild flowers bloom:

product of the race rather than the
individual. For centuries this was
only slightly knowa to cultured mu

There are two views. regarding
the use of actual folk music, which
are strongly opposed to one anoiter.
‘Many people hold the best thing to

Those who censure us for putting
the spirit of our age and muso into
these old things ought. {m all logic

other great mastors, for the Russian

Task Great
Dr. Rudolph Fisher, Author
of “The Walls of Jericho,”
Opens Library Series
| The Negro artist who writes about,
or otherwise portrays his race is
faced with a task ten times as great
‘as that of the portrayer of Caucasian
themes, declared Dr. Rudolph Fish-
er, author of "The Walls of Jericho,”
as he opened the sixth” season of
kook lectures Thursday evening at
the 135th Street Branch Public
Library.
An audience of 100, which taxed
the seating capacity of tho small lec:
ture room, greeted the new season
under the direction of ‘Miss Ernestine
Rose, white, The assemblage | was
Uberally sprinkled with white and
colored persons, a
Discussing his novel, tho first he
has written, Dr, Fisher cited the im-
possibility of Negroes to engage in
any extended conversations without
bringing in tho color problem. This
“intellectual tragedy,” he contended,
makes it practically impossible for
any Negro to approach his question
with an unbiased mind.
In clarifying his thome he noted
(the watls which come from Negro
veaders if one pictures the lowly and
the unsavory, and the snorts of dis-
belte¢ if the cultured type is drawn.
‘Thus, the writer, he asserted, finds
himself between two opposing forces,
both of which are potential cus-
tomers. More liberality toward the
novelists is tho solution, he held.
Claiming one uniqueness in com-
mon with bis falllugs, the author de-
clared that he was possibly the first
writer to use a white character to
carry the comedy when the dominant
end minority races were described.

Seventeen Women Are Engaged in Undertaking Business in N. Y. City

"New York is overrun with professional men," said an aged observer not many days ago. Being of the old school, he was emphatic in his use of the term "men" in a specific rather than a generic sense.
New York women, too, have a professional trend, though it may not be as pronounced as that of the men. Narrowing the professional field to one of its component parts — undertaking — I shall tell of some of the Negro women in New York City only who have entered it.
From a general survey of these women, I find that the seventeen women engaged in this profession attribute their success to satisfactory and sympathetic service; they are now accustomed to being resented by the male members of the profession, and if, for some uncontrollable reason, they have to give up their jobs, they can easily become adjusted and do, something else for a livelihood and maintenance.
sister of hers, Margaret Brown-Gordy, is also interested in the business.
Clara E. Ford
After getting practical experience with Norman B. Storritt, an undertaker, Mrs. Clara E. Ford, formerly of Columbia, S. C., but now of 146 Ysgaed, will help you with the Side Board examination and pass it in 1920. Her first establishment was
No, doubt; after reading the following condensed sketches, you will agree that the women in the undertaking profession have had definite reasons for entering it, and most of them have done their share toward upholding the standards.
Marion A. Daniels
For about twenty-four years Mrs. Marlon A. Daniels, of Waltmight and Daniels, 164 West 136th street, has been an undertaker. Her husband, now deceased, a graduate of the famous Renouard School, had an establishment at 100 West 134th street for five years. After his death, Mrs. Daniels moved the business to 230 West Sixty-second street for a year and then to 4 West 1324 street, where thirteen years ago she and the Rev. E. W. Waltmight became partners. From there they moved to the present address.
Mrs. Daniels, the mother of three children—Theodore W., Ralph Lee and Mrs. Katherine Smith, of Connecticut—came originally fromville Ga. She never studied emublining and undertaking at a school, but worked with a watched her husband and later took the State Board examination and passed it. One of her sons, Theodore, is also a licensed undertaker.
What New Yorker has not heard the name of Mary Lane? For thirteen years her first husband, J. Wesley Lane, now deceased, conducted an understaking parlor at 112 West 133d street; for ten years since his death Mrs. Lane has carried on the business at the same address.
She, too, had courage enough to take the State Board examination without having studied in a professional school. Mrs. Lane came from Staunton, Va., when a child. In private life she is Mrs. Marshall Ross, the wife of a prominent local physician. Her hobbies are keeping house and cooking.
Florence Edna Brown
Simply because she wanted to go into business, Mrs. Florence Edna Brown, 62 West 132d street, studied at the Massachusetts School of Embalming, then at 105th street and Broadway, and passed the Embalming School in 1908. It was not until 1926, however, that she took the Undertakers' State Board. Her first establishment was at 209 West Sixty-third street. For two years she has been at her present address. Mrs. Brown was born in Richmond, Va., and came here in
Mayme Anderson-Pratt
The professional career of Mrs. Mayme Anderson-Pratt. 229 West 131st street, covers nineteen years. She was first established at 381 Cumberland street, Brooklyn; then at 2293 Seventh avenue for four years, cars at Lexington Fl., where she built the Lawton L. Pratt, her second husband, also an undertaker, a funeral home that is a monument to her.
Mrs. Anderson-Pratt's first husband was Charles F. Anderson, deceased eighteen years, who was a caterer.
Her modern funeral home, which is always open for public inspection, consists of a complete embalming room, done in white and black tile; a. mortuary room in orchid; a. double-room chapel and office in
Effie A. Miller
"A skilled technician, versed in embalming, sanitary science, dermatology, derma-surgery, funeral directing and all that falls within the scope of her profession," is what a daily newspaper said of Mrs. Effie A. Miller, 64 West 128th street. In her childhood days, Mrs. Miller, who is still an unpretentious type, "played" being an undertaker. Anything that died in or around her had to be cared for by her. She was born in Theophilus College and educated in Willimantic, Conn. In 1912 she was graduated from the Barnes College of Anatomy and Embalming in this city, and opened a business at 319 West Fort-first street. After twelve years there she moved to the present location. In private life she is Mrs. Effie Miller-Shopard. Her hobby is fancy sowing.
Anna Brown
At 2315 Seventh Avenue the undertaking business started by the late W. David Brown is carried on by his sister, Miss Anna Brown, a 1910 graduate of the Renouard School.
Miss Brown, who was born in Washington, Del, was an executiveist and a teacher in Newcastle and New Castle, Del., before he became associated with her brother. Until 1921 she was manager of their Newark office. At present a

Clara E. Ford
After getting practical experience with Norman B. Storritt, an undertaker, Mrs. Clara E. Ford, formerly of Columbin, S. C., but now of 146 West 128th street, took the State Board examination and passed it in 1920. Her first establishment was at 115 West 128th street for four years, and this is the fifth year of conducting business at her present location. I work for Ford, an elevator man. Their daughter, Jennie Olga Ford, is dead; their son, Clarence A. Ford, is living.
Anna L. Harris
Because she wanted to do things on a bigger scale, Mrs. Anna L. Harris, who lives at 157-52 109th road, Jamaica, but commutes daily to her business at 45 West 135th street, chose undertaking. Prior to 1920, the year in which she was graduated from the Renouard School, she was a dressmaker. Her establishment was opened at 283 West 137th street in 1922, so she wanted to California for a year to regain her health; three years ago she opened a parlor at 43 West 135th street and recently moved it next door. Mrs. Harris, who is married to a painter, was born in Charlotte, N.C., and raised in Richmond Va.
Louise B. Hart
For five years Mrs. Louise B. Hart, another Renouard graduate, has been in business at 66 and 67 West 130th street. This week she is to open another branch at 2254 Seventh avenue.
Mrs. Hart, who was once interested in real estate, is married to a barber at Barker Street Fifty-third street. Her assistant, Mrs. Mildred Tolyer, is a recent Renouard graduate and she expects to take the State Board soon.

Is Your Realty Broker Licensed?
If Not You Do Not Have to Pay Him a Commission
ALBANY, Oct. 1—It would be well for all who employ real estate agents to exercise more care in their selection and better judgment in the settlement of their claims for commissions, according to Alexander C. MacNulty, Deputy Secretary of State and in charge of the Division of Licenses in the Department of State.
To safeguard the public against the activities of incompetent and unscrupulous real estate brokers and salesmen, the legislature added Article 12.A to the Real Property Law several years ago. This statute requires that all persons who negotiate or attempt to negotiate real estate transactions, for others and for a fee, commission or other compensation, shall be duly licensed. It applies to transactions negotiated in any city of the state, or in any county having a population of 110,000 or more, or in the counties of Rockland, Sullivan or Ulster.
In sections of the state to which this law is applicable, no one is under any legal obligation to pay a commission claimed by an unlicensed real estate agent, for the statute which requires him to be licensed specifically provides that no person shall bring or maintain an action in any court in this state for the recov- compensation rendered in negotiation in any place in which this article is applicable, without allogging said proving that he was a daily licensed real estate broker or real estate salesman on the date when the transaction was negotiated.
Before paying a commission to any one for negotiating a real estate transaction, says Mr. MacNulty, it is advisable to require the claimant to produce his pocket license card, a credential which is issued by the Department of State to every licensed real estate broker or salesman. He must prescribe that this card must be issued to a dealer or any one on demand. If the card is produced, payment of the commission should be refused until the credential is exhibited.
If a license card is displayed on demand therefore, it is worthless unless it appears on its face to have been issued for the current license year, which ends on Oct. 21 of each calendar year. Porticular attention should be paid to the class of license to which the card relates. If the card holder to be a licensed real estate dealer part of the commission should be paid to him in cash or by check drawn to his order; for, if the salesman enbases the money, the broker for

On the other hand, if the salesman who negotiated the transaction islicensed neither he nor the broker who employs him is entitled to demand payment of the commission, even if the broker is duly licensed; for the law makes it a misdemeanor for a real estate broker to employ an unlicensed salesman.

Presbyterians Reveal Growth of Three Hundred Per Cent at Meet
Presbyterian ministers and laymen drawn from the national membership of the Afro-American Council closed their thirty-fourth annual session Sunday night at St. James' Presbyterian Church, St. Nicholas avenue and 141st street.
The four-day conference was featured with the revelation that the body has increased considerably in membership and finances in the past eleven years, and the election of the Rev. J. V. Melver of Englewood, N. J., as president. The Rev. Mr. McIver succeeds the Rev. Milton Thompson of Detroit.
The 125 delegates joined unmanned, mostly in praising Dr. William Lloyd Ines, pastor of St. James's, and the New York Presbyterian for making this successful of the session. He selected on the ticked list the new head were Mrs. Lulu Butler of Harrisburg, Pa., vice-president; the Rev. T. J. B. Harris of Brooklyn, executive secretary. The Rev. Leon Colenzi, pastor of the St. James's Church, and the post-treasurer secretary, the post-director of the church. They were given the Rev. Charles S. Peele,�, with only 2,478 commentators.
Two Women Injured
The serious injury of Mrs. A. Pierre and Mrs. O. J. Cummings of Westchester, who were struck by an automobile as they were crossing the street in front of the church Friday, was the only incident to mar the meetings. The two were given treatment at Harlan Hospital and will return home late this week.
Sessions were held three times daily, closing Sunday with a women's program in the afternoon, a pagenant and the holy communion, and the following three months were read for three recessed pastors.

Oklahoma Lowa avenue, has had Mrs.
Kim C. Holiday as a licensed un-
merchant for three years. Her hus-
band had been associated six years
with an underwriter in Fayetteville,

Contrasting with reports of the decline of candidates for the ministry, gains in the council's activities and finances of 300 to 500 per cent were reported by the Rev. John T. Colbert of Oxford. The review of the past eleven years. With only 4,273 communicant members in 1917, the 1928 figures show 11,944. The increase in accessions has been from 556 to 1,412, while Bible school attendance more than doubled itself with 7,306 enrolled this year. Heaviest gains were noted in finance, with benevolence leaping from $1,142 to $7,072. Only $3,574 had increased in the count in 1917. In 1928 the total was $28,077. National missions were paid $1,864 this year, and $2,203 went to foreign fields.
Friday evening took on the aspect of Lincoln University Day, as the Rev. William Hallock Johnson, white, president of the school, addressed the body on "World-Wide Tasks for College Men Today." The State Board, she became interested in the profession and decided to take the examination. Her husband passed; she failed. Three months later, after concentrated practice with Henry L. Parker, also of Brooklyn, Mrs. Holiday passed. She is interested in reading, sewing and music.
Martha E. Howell
Although it was my original intention to tell only of the licensed women embalmers and undertakers, I cannot afford to overlook Mrs. Martha E. Howell, who, although not licensed, is the manager of her deceased husband's chapel at 2332 Seventh avenue. For twenty-three years there has been A. H. Addlplus Howell Funeral Chapel, first at 19 West 133d street and later at 22 West 133d street, 107 West 136th street, and at the present address. Mrs. Howell lived. Mrs. Howell was the lady attendant. Today she has working with her seven assistants and a private secretary, Mrs. Pauline Snowden.
The Howellis remodelled the first floor of one of their apartment houses and converted it into a church which seats 300; a private office; receiving room; preparation room; slumber room; ladies' room; the three rooms used in the color scheme used in the slumber room is white, lavender, gray, purple or black, all depending upon the age of the person who is there placed in the couch. The church draperies are of maroon plush, while the canopy is of lattice work. The windows, with the name Howell, the three rooms located from England. The Estes Organ Company installed the pipe, organ. The two bronze tablets in the church are in memory of Mr. Howell's father, Fred A. Howell, who died in 1913, and Mrs. Howell's father, Thomas W. Parras, who died in 1915. Mrs. Howell came here thirty-odd age from Bermuda; Mr. Howell came from Barbados. B. W. I. They were married thirty-three years at the time of his death, on April 2, 1926.

ON FRIDAY the great Medical Center at 168th street
and Brondway was dedicated. Costing $21,000,000, it io the
largest group hospital in the world, comprising eleven schools
and hospitals, Everything that ample money and great build-
ings con do for the advancement of medicine has been done.
One looks upon those towering buildings, visible miles away,
and marvels, thinking back to the aixteenth century, when
medicine was a despised science, when surgeons ranked with
barbers, when a dead body was held sacred and Andre Vesale
was thrown into jail because he dissected a body in the in-
terests of medical science.
BUT EVEN AS ONE GAZES on those colossal build-
ings, filled with the costliest appliances, there comes the dis-
quieting thought that one man like Pasteur or Jenner is
worth more than all of them together, including the cele-
brated doctors who work in them. Without disparaging the
enormous labor involved in erecting and outfitting them,
one may say that Louis Pasteur in his one-room laboratory.
and fifty dollars’ worth of apparatus, did more for medicine
and humanity than all the schools and hospitals of the Medi-
cal Center ever will.
PERHAPS it is because of the spirit that animated Pas-
teur. He worked solely for God and humanity, in humble-
ness of heart and for all men. In contrast, one of the hos-
pitals included in the Medical Center refused to admit a nurse
because her skin was dark. This is not the spirit that makes
Pasteurs. ~
Crust and Crumb
MAKING A REPORT for the Industrial Department of
the National Urban League, T. Arnold Hill says that the labor
unions are still discriminating against Negro laborers, bar-
ring them from work as machinists, plumbers, boilermakers
and other similar trades. He says that many plants have
doubled their number of Negro workers, but that the in-
fluence of the unions keeps them from what is classed as
skilled labor.
THIS IS NOTHING NEW, but it has a particular pers
tinency this year because of the campaign. During cam-
paigns the political parties, especially one minor party, try
to make the Negro believe that his interests are identical
with thoee of the white laborer, that the white Iaborer is his
friend and the white capitalist is hio enemy. What is the
Negro to believe when he finds that the white laborer is the
first to turn against him and try to keep him out of work?
Some years ago the American Federation of Labor com-
plained bitterly because the Negro would not join it in voting
the Democratic ticket. Yet the Federation gives the Negro
every reason for voting against whatever party the Federa-
tion is supporting.
WHATEVER economic progress the Negro has made
has been in spite of and not because of the attitude of white
labor. It has been due to the capitalist. The capitalist may
have exploited him, but at least he employed him. He gave
him a crust, but the white laborer begrudged him a crumb.

66 A T TIMES.” said Coleridge-Taylor, “I could set a
A butcher's bill to music.”
This remark sums up the genius of the greatest
of Negro composers. The man was so full of music that a
chance remark, the reading of a poem, the sight of a child,
a glimpse of a field of flowers, was enough to throw him into
an ecstasy of musical composition. The flame of genius in
him burned away his frail body in thirty-seven years; if he
could have lived and composed fifteen years longer, he would
today have been acclaimed as the world’s crestest. Moin
As It fs, the colored people of
‘America do not realize how great
a composer he was. They think
of him only as the man who set
Longtellow's “Hiawatha” to {m-
perishable music. They know
nothing of his “Tale of Old
Japan,” “Bamboula,” “The Atone-
mont,” "Meg Blane,” “Kutta
Khan,” “Danse Negre” and his
Jonumerable shorter pleces which
are still popular in England.
Among cantatas Englishmen rank
“Hiawatha” first, "A Tale of Old
Japan” second and Sir Arthur
Sullivan's “Golden Legend” third.

Coleridge-Taylor’s father, Daniel

Send Johnson to Congress
THE AMSTERDAM NEWS commented last week upon
Judge Olvany’s statement that the United Colored Democ-
racy would uo longer be recognized because there were only
23,000 votes in Harlem- ‘The probable reason for Judge
Olvany’s decision hos already been discussed and need not
be repeated kere, The point which the Negro now must
consider is this: Judge Olvany would not have made that
decision if the Negro vote in Harlem were anywhere near
the figure it should be. If 100,000 Negroes registered and
voted in Harlem neither Tammany Hall nor the Republican
ggganization would dare Kick them around the way they do
now.
AFTER MAKING ALLOWANCE for ‘Tammany’s open
and the Republican party's cecret flirting with the South, the
fact remains that the Negro in New York is mostly to blame
for his political conditien, In politics, as in social work, art
and literature, he depends too much on paterfalism; he waits
for white peorlc to hand him everything instead of going out
and getting it for himsclf, He expects Negro judges and
congressmen to spring frem the ground merely by his pray-
ing for them; he expects the big political organizations to
make a great outlay of energy, appointments and money in
a district wherc the number of registered voters does not
‘warrant it. :
THE HARLEM NEGRO has a far more powerful politi-
cal weapon than he realizes, For comparison, tale Tammany
Hall, an organization which, year in and year out, controls
the politics of New York City. How does Tammany do it?
Tammany does it because it can depend on a solid block of
250,000 votes. If a block of 250,000 votes is enough to domi-
nate the whole city, it is obvious that a blogs of 100,000 votes
js enough to dominate Harlem. More than that, it ie enough
not merely to ask but to demand recognition by both politi-
cal parties in every city and state election; it is enough to
gat ‘Negroes in Congress, on the judge’s bench and in hun-
ireds cf minor positions, And the Negroes of Harlem, with
fa population of 250,000, have at least 100,000 persons eligible
to vote.
REGISTRATION WEEK 4s past and one great thing
remains to be done. That is for every Negro voter, Republi-
can or Democrat, to vote to send Edward A. Johnson to Con-
gress. Remember that you are voting for him, not as the
member of a party, but as the representative of a race which
has long been denied political recognition, Send Edward A.
Johnson to Congress!
Lawless Policemen
‘THE AMSTERDAM NEWS has been criticized because
of its determined stand against police brutality. It has been
accused of playing to the crowd because it has objected to
policemen who take the law inte their own hands, But not
only from Harlem, but from other parts of the city have
come complainis of policercen’s violence.
LAST WEEK A HOLLAND TUBE policeman was con-
victed of felonious assault and will be sentenced tomorrow
to prison for beating « man and fracturing his jaw when ar-
resting him for a mino= traffic violation. Judge Mancuso, in
charging the jury, said, among other things: “There seems
to be an imprezsicn that a police officer may shoot and kill
any offender who my not yicld to his command to submit to
arrest. This is an crroneous conception of the law.”
LAST WEEK The Amsterdam News quoted from “Po-
lice Practice and Precedure” these words, which all police-
men would do well to commit to memory: “The power to
punish ie vested in the judiciary. For instance, if you ap~
prehend a murderer, you must not neccssarily strike him.
. . « If you do you are usurping the power of the judiciary.”
IN OTHER WORDS, no policeman has the right to act
as if he were the judge, jury and executioner. Too often, in
Harlem and elsewhere, a policeman bas arrested a man,
tried him and punished him, all before he took him to the
station house. The police are appointed to protect the public
against Iawlessnees, not to commit it themselves.
What Every Negro Knows
A MAN NAMED LAPIERE, writing in a magazine pub-
liched by the University. of. North Carolina, reports the re-
cults of an unusual investigation which he made of race prej-
udice in England and France. Of 360 peogle questioned in
France only nine admitted having race’ prejudice toward
Negroes and 179 said they had none whatever. In England,
cf 315 people questioned, 254 said they were prejudiced and
only 14 that they were not. Mr. Lapiere draws the conclusion
that since the French and the English are biologically the
same, there can be no inherent or natural revulsion for dark
or black skinned peoples; that color prejudice is eocial in
origin, ‘ *
WITH ALL HONOR to Mr. Lapiere for his painstaking
study and sensible deductions, they are rather amusing. In-
Seed, it is almovt ludicroue to see how slowly and laboriously
white people arrive at facts which every Negro has known
all his life. Mr. Lapicre'did not need to go to France and
England; he could have gone to any playground in America
and seen how eagerly white children mingle with black
children before they have been taught race hate. Or he
could have made an intimate study of white Avnerican adults,
especially in the South. and drawn his conclusions from thelr
‘actions, not their words,
they called him Coaly, His bent
for miisic was not long in appear

My Dear Sir:
I have just read your editorial,
“Cutting Off Your Nose,” tn your
issue of October 3 in which
speaking ot Commissioner Fer-
dinand Q. Morton's statement in
behalf of tho candidacy of
Governor Smith, you, by Indiree-
tion, attribute’ that support at
least in part to Commissioner
Morton’s position. I refer specifi-
cally to your statement: "Somo
hard-botled sou!s might reply that
Mr. Morton fs for Smith hecause
he holds a high salaried job un-
der Tammany tall.”
Wilt you permit me to say that
T feel that this is less than fair
to Mr. Morton? Over a period of
several years I havo had the op-
portunity of knowing a good deal
of the work which Mr, Morton has
done and I know it to be a fact
that Instead of taking any elven
position hecanso of tho position
hho holds. Mr. Morton, on the con-
trary, ha several times risked the
Joss of that position by hfs stand
in behalf of Justice to all Nex
groes. Indeed, Mr. Morton would
bo much moro popular with Tam-
many Hall ff ho had been willing
to yield to thelr demands in cer
tain matters.

Three Cholrs Festival, one of the
notable events in the English
musical season, Was to be held at
Gloucester. Sir E¢ward Elgar,
tho celebrated composer, had heon
asked to contrlouto a composition,
but be was busy and suggested
that, Coleridge-Taylor bo asked.
His advico was accepted, «and

aay, Awake, Beloved,” was
hailed as the greatest ever writ-
ton by an ‘Enalishman, His-
vwaths became and still remains
the most Popilar cantata in EnR-
land. Colerldge-Taylor followed tt
witht “The Death of Minnehaha”
and “Hlawatha's Departure,” com
ploting a wonderful trlology. Tits

suid: "He will never do, any-
