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 ment the fact that the registration of Hurlemites could have been increased by 15,000, others are optimistic over the finding that several thousand persons who have lived in New York for a number of years registered last week.

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. Race Horse Owner Has Winner in Md. LAUREL RACETRACK, Md., Oct. 15.—A. Allen Jr., former jockey and now trainer and owner, saddled a winner last Wednesday in the seventh race, when Sam Slick, three-year-old son of Gnome and Dvill to Pay, galloped first past the mythical wire, a winner by a head over Jenny Dean, the public's choice. Sam Slick paid $27.50, the fattest price of the day. The race was 1 mile and 70 yards, for three-year-olds and upwards. The purse was $1,300. The winner got $900; second, $250, and third, $130. The time was 1:46. Sam Slick is owned by Mrs. Allen THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News 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.

TO PROVE FRIENDSHIP 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."

Dremont lives at 218 Palmades avenue, Hasbrouck Heights, N. J. No traces of the assailants were found, the police reported 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.

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."

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. New Jersey V. W. C. A. Secretary in Shooting (Continued from Page 12) 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. --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS; WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1928 FACTORY SALE!!! WARNING!

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. The tension was increased Friday night as bids were made by the whites seeking to oust the buyers already there, and a process of colored persons in automobiles toured Ninety-first street. A letter received by one of the A letter received by one of the newly settled homeseeks reads: I presume you don't want to get in trouble; you better move from that house at once, that's no place for you Negroes to live. A few days more and it will be too late to quick before action will be in tow to throw out in a way you will regret. No fear or hesitation in the action. Your fate is decided, you are warned in time, get out quick, return where you belong. Signed: RED HAND.

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.

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.

LETITIA BROWN TALKS WITH REPORTER May Write Book of Her Relations With Millionaire Carleton Curtis (Continued from Page 1.) and most influential institution in America. Mrs. Brown is often referred to as Letty and Tish. Both are still in love with each other. it is reported, and a reconciliation may ultimately be effected. Sorry for It All "Really, I'm sorry for it all," she said. "I did wrong, and anyone would expect Harry to be the most bitter man in the world; but he isn't." Lettie was accused at the trial of Harry on Harry by running around with Garland A. Patton of Chicago. She stayed with him in Paris it was reported, and he often visited the Freeport, L. L. mansion which Harry had given her. Much of the money she spent on Patton, which was proven by letters she had written to him, containing from some time now extinct, that Curtis established for her. "I didn't really love Gar," Letty explained. "I just wanted companionship, for I was lonely. And you can take it from me, any colored woman who marries a white man really more than pays for it." Letty replied. "He has really a contract over the affair, for she said; "I would never again make the mistake of misstering Harry." Attorney Richard E. Carey, 2376 Seventh avenue, assisted by Attorneys James P. Ill and Thomas B. Dyett, fought the case in Supreme Court. Attorney D. Steer, white, reputed as one of the most brilliant legal minds in America. The appeal is still pending. When asked Monday if Curtis was going to settle for a half-million, Attorney Carey smiled and said, "I wish that were so." He defended to discuss further details of the case, but attested that an agreement his client should make would probably be correct. To Purchase Tenements Mrs. Brown said that someone from the daily press called her recently to confirm the report that she would settle for a half-million and invest the money in tenement houses in Harlem. Only the most credit questioning, however, was the admission drawn from her that the report was possibly true. The best investment," she said finally, after a lengthy discussion of the advisability of settling the matter out of court. She stated that she was very anxious to drop the suit, especially because she had wronged Harry and does not care to cause him further embarrassment. However, her attorneys seem to desire to fight it through to the very end, she said. Up to the present time she said that the cost her around $5,500 in cash and that, before an appeal was taken, the cost had mounted to $20,000. "And I think I should have won my case at first," she said, "because the matter to be proven was not whether I was a good or bad wife, but whether or not I was his wife at all." Three Men Sent to Of Vagrancy; A All-Four, However, Proteste tectives Broke Into The Charged with vagrancy. T 143d street; James Reilly, 38, a uel, 31, and Percy Woolford, 2 were remanded for investigati when arraigned in Heights C Thursday. Mabel Harris and street, were arrested on the sa ferson Market Court. Three Men Sent to Jail on Charge Of Vagrancy; Another Is Suspended AN Four, However, Protest Innocence, Saying Five Detectives Broke Into Apartment and Beat Charged with vagrancy, Thomas Robinson, 41, 44 West 143d street; James Reilly, 38, 2154 Fifth avenue; James Emanuel, 31, and Percy Woolford, 28, both of 32 West 133d street, were remanded for investigation and sentence last Saturday when arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Ewald Thursday. Mabel Harris and Mary Smith, 32 West 133d street, were arrested on the same charge and arraigned in Jefferson Market Court. With the exception of Robinson, who received a suspended sentence, all the men were sent to the workhouse for thirty days each when the case was called again Saturday morning. Patrolman Charles M. Geary of the Sixth division related rather dramatically the incidents leading up to the arrest. Posting as white men in search of some colored girls for a good time, Geary testified that he and a few other officers were taken to Woolford's home and in connection with the Harris and Smith women, who he said, later admitted that it was the function of the male prisoners to hold them up and rob them after they had had a good time. Indy. had asked him "to stop out awhile so that she could make a few dollars to help her sick husband" my officer said. "The sick husband" is the P. J. Lathrop dated the girl.

Robinson exhibited two black eyes in support of his contention that the officers heat him. "They took the pictures from the walls and broke them over our heads," the men testified. Reomer Jailed for Vagrancy Clarence Jackson, 18, roaming at 68 West 133d street, charged with knowingly residing in a disorderly house, was arraigned the same day and held for investigation and sentence Monday. His testimony amounted to a plea of guilty, and he was sentenced to six months in the workhouse. Patrolman Reilly of the Sixth division told the court that he found a girl named Dorothy King in bed with a white man in Jackson's room. Jackson explained that Emma Reynolds, alleged to be the land- Sorry for It All While on the subject of money, the writer asked if she had really squandered the great fortune that Curtis had bestowed on her. At first I gave no thought of saving money, she said, "and have never taught about myself, anyway. But I have taught about her, whom I felt a responsibility for, especially after my mother died, four years ago. I began to save money for her, and that is how I happen to have something put by." Although Letty would not say how much she is worth, she led me to believe that she had been more sensible in money matters than we believed. "I would have been very sorry if I had saved nothing," she added. **Drawn Into Suit** Letty said Monday that she was drawn into the suit against Harry, not fully realizing what the consequences would be, when after Harvard's freemotion from her, he took the Freemotion home from her, continued the trust fund and put her in the hands of his attorney, Mr. C. Augustus Myers. Curtis still provided for her with an income of $100 a week, and Meyers withheld part of the money, she said, and refused to allow her to communicate with Harry. Then she entered suit, to her eternal regret. The moment the press learned of the court action against one of its blue-blood social registerites it began to believe was a graph of Letty, but she was sent to Bermuda by her lawyers, she said, and never returned until the case was called for trial. A Positive Sensation From Maine to California and from Berlin to St. Petersburg, the press took liberal notice of the case. It was a positive sensation; the case was incompatible in American history. The white light of publicity was flashed full into the faces of the principals starring in one of America's real-life dramas revolving around the forever irksome race question. "For it was over," Mrs. Brown said, "I was snowed in almost at once with about a thousand letters with every conceivable kind of offer, including marriage, night club hostess downtown, theatre dancer in Russia, and large pay for a book on my experience. "The question that many women asked in the letters was: 'Letty, how did you do it? PLEASE show us how,' and 'Where did you get so much it?' is a theatre in Russia where I used to dance, just to keep in practice, and the manager wants me to come there." Shortly after the case was disposed of by- Judge Townley, who ruled the "plaintiff has failed to eschew his relationship existed," Letty was a guest, she said, at one of the big night clubs here, where they fed her in a fashion accorded celebrities. Mrs. Brown repented her intention to Egypt or a rest and to write her history as soon as her case is settled.

Office Seekers Clash At Tenants' Body Meet Candidates for the Assembly and Congress from the Republican, Democratic and Communist parties clashed in a series of verbal battles Monday night in a meeting of the Harlem Tenants' League at the lecture hall of the 135th street Branch Public Library. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Susan B. Campbell, Workers' Party supporter and official of the league. Candidates explained their position on the Emergency Rent Laws and suggested legislation for improvement of housing conditions in Harlem. Democrats attacked Republicans on the rent laws, segregation and sniff, and were in turn attacked by two union candidates, two munist office candidates under the discussions by denouncing both as tools of the capitalists. Speaker candidates were: Horace W. Palmer, for Senate; George W. Remer, for Assembly, white Republicans; Royal H. Weller, for Congress, and Albert Grosman, for Assembly, white Democrats; and Edward Welsh, for Assembly, and Richard B. Moore, for Congress, of the Workera' Party.

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. : Club Chats : (Continued from Page 4) West 129th street, Monday, through Wednesday, Oct. 10.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York 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.

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.

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. Nine Times Out of Ten a Wife Has a Great Deal to Do With the Success of a Man.

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. M. & S. Roosevelt Theatre Chicago Boy Also in "Hallelujah" "Hello, Dixieland" Here This Week "Hello, Dixieland" Here This Week 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.

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. Peek-a-Boo Jimmie and his jazzy antili also do much to enliven Just a little bit of the audience never tire of watching his manipulation of the drumsticks. He's a master of the house at every performance with their dancing, while the ten Ebony Stoppers are about the hottest dance moves of the winged or ehook their torso. 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." A Correction It was a Mr. Derr, manager of the Apollo Threatc in West 125th Battery, not a pilot of a wing of a cavalry unit of Huffing, Seamon, who was instrumental, along with 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.

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 Boy Scout News By Scout Edward Lewis Helpsrs. The Scouts of Troop 760 were great helpers during the thirty-fourth annual session of the Afro-American Presbyterian Council at St. James Presbyterian Church last week. Wearing their uniform day after school, the Scouts assisted the delegates by pointing out places of interest in the city and helping them with their baggage.

"A MINUTE" Musical Comedy Hit WHITE AND COLORED ARTISTS DINGs 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."

An Elevator Lead of Hearty Laughs Picture Feature LYA DE PUTTI The Lovely European Star, in "AUTUMN LOVE" 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.

First Roberti was scheduled to meet George Godrey at Ebbtue; Field on Oct. 3 under the direction of Promoter Humbert J. Fugazy and was unable to go through with the engagement when he is said to have developed a severe cold. Roberti was willing, nay anxious, to fight Godfrey as soon as he recovered, they say, but it seems that LLL Gawge had two previous appointments that would interfere with such a meeting. Next Roberti was scheduled to do battle with Paulino Uezudan, the Basque woodchopper, at Ebbets Field Wednesday night and yesterday Promoter Fugazy found it necessary to cancel this bout when it was discovered that the Two Boys of the couple of ribs. Thus it is that the funniest is prevented from getting his chance against both of the foremost contenders for the crown vacated by Gene Tunney. Signor Fugazy was much perturbed by this latest turn of events in the face of the whispering that has gone abroad to the effect that Roberti ran out of Godfrey. In an effort to regain their place, Fugazy yesterday circulated an open letter to the press, which follows in part: "Feeling that Roberto Roberti has been unjustly criticized for failure, through conditions over which he had no control, to go through with two proposed bouts I, as the promoter of these matches, am taking this opportunity to forward information and state my own opinion in the matter in an effort to correct the erroneous impression that seems to prevail in certain quarters. "When Roberti was unable to box it was believed he was suffering from nothing more than a heavy cold because of the complaint he made of shooting pains in his body. When the same complaint developed, he was training for Pauline Uzcudan, an X-ray taken at the Nyack Hospital by Dr. cOge A. Leitner, revealed two broken ribs, one of long standing. "This was substantiated by Dr. Alexander Schiff, of the New York State Athletic Commission." "In view of these reports, following the unjust criticism provoked by Robertt's inability to go through with either the Godfrey or Pauline matches, I feel that it is only fair, on my part, as the promoter, to put the boxer's true case before the public. "I mention this with a desire to refute any criticism on Robertt's courage, which most certainly was beyond question in any of his ring engagements in this country." Because there has been an unusually big advance sale and because he does not like to disapoint his clients a second time, today is casting about for a suitable substitute to use against Paulino. Among those under consideration are Bill Hartwell, the Kansas Behemoth, who defected Larry Gaines, the winner on a foul over Godfrey, Jake Warren, George La Rococ and Arthur DeKub. Baltimore Black Sox Rout "Lefty" Grove and Cops BALTIMORE. Md., Oct. 15—With the hats of Dixon, Charleston, Wilson and Lundy and Warfield heating a tattoo against the delivery on Philadelphia, Grove, star hurler of Philadelphia, and the timore Black Sox blundered their way to a 9-3 decision over Fritz Malsells's All-Stars here Sunday, while 10,000 fans cheered and howled. Luther Farrell, beaten last Sunday and Stars, was again on the mound and the Sox outfielder and control at all times, stalking out seven and yielding only six hits, two of which did not come until the ninth inning. Grove struck out ten. Stars, the Black Sox outfielder, starred relief for a single, double and home run, and returning the ball from deep right field to home plate with deadly speed and accuracy. The teams, having won one game each, will resume their series here Sunday. Pride Submits Lineup Roy Pride, who will manage the team which will play under the name of the Rockland Flive' with home court at the Rockland Casino, Maryland and Marshfield, sends the editor a line to say that, number of the papers in this part of the world have been giving him the wrong lineup of his team. Big flive will line up as follows when the court take the election night to face their first hard test: Hop Hubbard, guard; Six Gareca, guard; Tucker Wadell, guard; Hy Mont, guard; Billy Yankee, guard; forward; Billy Yankee, of Marshfield; forward; Hersey Day, better known as Rough and Ready, forward. WILL GODFREY BE GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND? Renaissance Starts Season With First Victory Suspending the Rules Suspending the Rules Will Gans Be Fighting Light Heavies Soon? — Inconsistencies of Race Prejudice — Return of Jess McMahon By THE EDITOR THE European and others with an inclination to be fair in sports, reading the claims made by the white American, must shake his head in despair and wonder at the brazenness of the Nordic when he glims the activities of the colored mitt pusher in the roped arena. The gentlemen of that august body known as the Boxing Commission have recently given good cause for the colored brother to assume that the sundown newspapers making the claim that the Governor of this great commonwealth has never lifted a hand in behalf of the black citizens of the state must know what they are talking about. It is very evident in the sport world. they are training. This training is one of the outstanding reasons why the brown derby will never adorn the hatch in the entrance hall at the White House. We will not cite the case of Harry Wills, but will ask readers to who has proven his claim not only to recognition at the hands of the fight promoters in this town, but to the protection of the Boxing Commission, to be forced to fight men outweighing him anywhere from eight to fifteen pounds. The most recent encounter which the Gans had set up a howl took place at the White House on Saturday night when they sent Gans in against Billy White, who looked like a light heavyweight against the men should not prevent the Boxing Commission from looking into this thing of weight in the smaller clubs. The good colored fighters are never permitted to face opponents at the same weight. Within the past few years we find it hard to recall where a good colored fighter has been permitted to enter the ring of a small club with an even chance. It is even being whispered around that even the announced disparity in weights at the ringside is far below what the white boys are carrying in the ring with them when facing a colored fighter. UP AT Manhattan Casino last Wednesday night we had another illustration of the inconsistency of race prejudice when Kid Chocolate met Eddie O'Dowd in the main event of ten rounds. Mr. O'Dowd spent the entire evening hugging the little Cuban. We used to think that this thing of coloring prejudice was inherent instead of being acquired, believing that the O'Fay brothers told us. Chocolate showed from the start that he was O'Dowd's master and Mr. O'Dowd, discovering the same thing as soon as we did, decided that "any port in a storm" meant running to cover even when one is forced to fraternize with a colored man. The inherent dislike for us did not prevent Mr. O'Dowd from hugging Chocolate "all night long." He was so busy doing that little thing he forgot to fight, mayhap because he was pasted good and plenty every time he showed such an inclination. The reporter on a big white daily in such a case tells us that O'Dowd "tied up Chocolate," but were matters reversed he would have told us that Chocolate held all night. Wotta wrest! Another case where the rules were suspended. WHEN George Godfrey arrived in town a few weeks back, ready for his fight with Roberto Roberti, he announced that he was not going to stand for the run around given Harry Wills and would rather quit the game. Perhaps George spoke too soon, for Roberti curled up and there was no fight. The two Roberts was given time in which to recover from his injuries, but as soon as he heard that Godfrey had been scared away he came from under the covers and was ready to meet Paolina Uzcudum. They told George he could meet the winner. Possibly George will, but already they have started to smash his movable by the same run around. The Boxing Commission hasn't as yet, we note, demanded to know why Robert! was not forced to go through with the Godfrey fight. Lots of us will register surprise if Tex Rickard steps in and signs up the winner to meet Sharkey. Sure we will be surprised, wot? WE have it on the best of authority that Jess McMahon will resume his activities at the Olympia Club in the near future, and you can't blame us if we make no attempt to stop the colored fans from trying to raise the roof of the old Commonwealth with their shouts of joy. McMahon took the old club when it was all run down at the heels and made it the fans a real run for their money. McMahon, who has had a long experience in the world of sport, decided that since the people are a long way to see a real fight he would not only give the colored fights, but would develop real fighters. And he gave colored fighter a chance in his new scheme of things. In recent years he had all the good fighters except the heavyweights to show at the Commonwealth. Within the next few weeks we will see mixed cards that will bring out the full vote and with his brother, Eddie McMahon, carrying on down at the St. Nicholas arena, Jess will make recommendations that will give the good fighters of color a chance to show more step. Jess McMahon is one of the tallest men that ever conducted the attacks of a fight club, in this city, and that Tex Rickard should not leave the scene of such an event at Madison Square. He is a surprise to the intimates of the Brooklynite. The enthusiasm occasioned by the announcement of the coming of McMahon to the old club is but a tribute to one fully deserving of everything good that can be said of him. Another Try at Amateur Basketball Here Another Try at Amateur Basketball Here We believe the attempt being made by the management of the Collegians, one of the best basketball combinations developed around here in many years, is a most worthy one and fully deserving of the support of those lovers of the best in sport who can still thrill to the efforts of the youngsters on the court. If for nothing else than that he can reach back and recall the glory of those days when the game was in flower, the young manager of this Collegian outfit, which, incidentally, will open their season the coming Friday night at the Alhambra Hall, seems to be extremely anxious to have his men live up to that term made famous by real sportsmen in the past and that term is: "For the game's sake." If a team is willing to play under the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States we believe that it would indeed be a pity if we haven't enough people in the community willing to lend their share towards the real development of the younger men. The majority of those men who in their younger days played "for the game's sake" and became stars are today successfully "carrying an" on a larger scale in life, and one has but to point to men like Dr. Hudson Oliver of Harlem; the Curtis Brothers of Washington; Sykes of Alabam, and those other men who in their college days at Howard University truly played for their college and the sake of the game without a thought of being paid for what they did in athletics. While the professional game has won its own following and some of the teams are enjoyng success, it is well to here remark that "Bob" Douglas, manager of the most successful professional outfit which, as everybody knows, constitutes the Renaissance Fad, has his schooling in the amateur game, and has always encouraged it. And if we are to judge by the qualities which we have found in "Bob" it is fair to assume that he, too, came from amateur circles with that splendid record which made his success in after life possible. Amateur athletes laid the foundation for everything we enjoy in every line of sport today, and we consider it no more than our duty to rise to the occasion and lend little encouragement we can to the efforts of these young fellows. We went out our durations in the help to make the game a new game, and it took to be in the days of old, and we are activities and do what we can for the boys of this generation. So may success crown your efforts, young gentlemen, and if authorities of our colleges will lend us an enr as in the past, then we will all hope for the best before winter's snows would have returned to that mysterious sphere from whence they came.

Larry Creighton Being Groomed for Early Go Another colored fighter, that blades fair to come to the fore is Larry Creighton, of whom this paper spoke last week. Creighton was expected to show his wares at the Sports Club on the next card, which will be on the night of Oct. 24. Creighton made good in the amateurs and is under the personal management of one of the liveliest young managers in the gymnasium since he had a shot and he asked to be excused from appearing on the card of the twenty-fourth in he felt that he needed to put in some more time in the gymnasium and on the road back. The Manhattan Sport Club will also use Harry Smith, the youngster who has been piling up a knockout record like a house afire, and the announcement of his appearance in the championship club with keen the rans on edge. The good colored fighters following the columnas of this paper would be better matched with the larger Embinder of the Manhattan Club. Mr. Embinder seeks to give fighters, regardless of race, creed or color, a chance at the Manhattan Club and struts in three parts the fans will give him a great big hand. Canada Lee and Ponce De Leon to Meet Saturday Eddie Elkins, globe-trotting lightweight of Harlem, and Lew Kersach, undefeated east side battle, will share honors at the Ponce De Leon, Florida, and Canada Lee in the double-windup of ten-round bouts at the Olympia A.

He has been boxing in the South and mid-West and has yet to meet defeat since his arrival here. Prior to his sailing for the United States of Italy for the European welterweight championship. He came here expressly for a shot at the world's title and purposely kept away from the mat. He has not been matched. His main idea in doing this was to break in on the big time with a bang and, if he decisively defeats Lee, he will have accomplished his Lee, he has taught all the leading welterweight stars the unsteady and professional rings and has yet to taste a knockout.

He badly missed the innermost left after the men in Brown's class and the champion had showed an inclination to run to cover every time his name was mentioned, had it put directly up to them, and this gives the champion at least one colored champion. Brown is slated to sall for Europe, but possibly the quick action of the Commission will play a part in keeping him here. He will be able to have every confidence that the colored fighter is fully capable of defending the title for some time to come, yet the danger of having it taken away from him in this day of queer decisions will be reduced in the past championships were won and lost on their merits, but so many instances can be pointed out where prejudice has actuated more than two officials we warn readers not to be surged by the title she has gained hands sooner than is expected. WHITE NO MATCH FOR "BABY JOE" Battleship Against a Gunboat, But He Lost Just the Same The matchmaker of the Olympia Athletic Club gave the California Bear, Baby Joe Gans, junior welterweight boxer, a fullfledged middleweight to box last Saturday night and the California Bear, as usual, climbed out of the ring with a clean-cut victory. There was, nothing particularly thrilling about Baby Joe's defeat of Billy White. Billy decided after the first round that if he took any chances he would be knocked out, so he went into a shell of defense and ended up with the only胜负 fighting that was done. Nearly six feet in height-and with a weight advantage of over ten pounds and a tremendous reach, White made himself a difficult target. He carried his left shoulder, his body twisted never in the entire ten rounds did he come out of his shell to lead cleanly. White learned early in the fight that it was dangerous to lead, for invariably when he did make a half-hearted attempt he missed and was knocked out of Gans' dently counterpunching right. In the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds Gans resorted to a left jabbing attack and he almost punched Gans in the head off White after nine rounds and staying on his feet, took a few chances in the tenth and the round ended with him almost out. Given another round Gans would probably have keyed his Bryant Loses in Semi-Windup. Al Bryant, of Newark, made a promising start against Jackie Pillington and he earned an even break in the first round. The third round was also an even affair and that is why Bryant landed a two-handed attack, won all the other eight rounds by various margins. Bryant landed an uppercut several times during the battle but not often to overcome his opponent's punching. A good crowd attended the matches. Collegians Ready for Big Start Against Settlement On Friday night, October 19, the Original Collgians will open their basketball season at the Alhambra ballrooms, 126th street and Seventh avenue against the crack Hockey Soil team. The Collgians, who will play weekly games against strictly amateur teams, will represent the community in the lightweight amateur basketball field, and if they run true to form, should be as hard to prepare as professional brothers, the champion Renalance team, is in theirs. They have been training for the past few weeks and are prepared to start off with a bang. In the Honey Street Settlement team the former Honey Street will meet a strong bunch of boys who are fast and heady, and boast of a five man defense team that is fast scoring. The Collegians,howover,are some By FRANCIS. Bob Douglas and his World's Colorized Champion Renaissance Five opened the basketball season of 1928-29 with a victory last Sunday in Renaissance Casino, hardly trimming a strong Bronx Professionals 44 to 18. The casino was packed almost to capacity, and anyone who does not think that the champions are a super-attraction should have been at a casino on Sunday. Attired in spik and span new uniforms, the boys marched on the court to the tune of "Hall, Hall the Gang's All Here," and gave the large crowd the first opportunity to enter. Bob sent in Capt. Slocum and Pappy Ricks, forwards; Sanders, center; Jenkins and Mayers, guards, against the Pros, and it went on for the Renaissance were far in the lead. The Bronx quintet, headed by the fast and popular Harry Davis, of the Brooklyn basketball, but it was of no avail against the fast, lightning-like passes of the champions, who excelled every department of the State. So the wild in the first half, eluding his man, Capt. Harry Davis, oftimes enough to score six field goals from 8 in the first half, ending 28 to 8 in. Regalessia's fare. At the start of the second half, Manager Douglas sent in Flail in place of Slocum, while Satch received Mayers, and after some time formerly star center of the Monroe, formerly star center of the Buffaloes. While the kid did not score many baskets while he was in, he gave a good idea of his ability to handle the ball, and an indication that with the experience to help him he can be developed into a crack player. The Renaissance added 14 points in the second half, while the Bronx boys were making 16. An added innovation by the Renaissance created the game, play by play, over the radio through station WPCH, New York City, with the faithful and efficient announcer Dietrich before the mike. In the future will be broadcast, over this station, starting promptly at 10 p. m. Sanders and Jenkins, both scoring 14 points, were high scorers for the evening, and George Davis of the team, with 10 points, led his team. Next Sunday night the boys will line up against the strong New York Aces, who will bring to the casino Schultels and Kampmeyer, forwards; Grox, center; and Redmond and Gilkerson as guards, a very strong combination, who are well known to Renaissance fans. In the preliminary game, the Scholastics will clash with the Chicago Defender team. Vernon Andrado furnished his usual excellent dance numbers between halves and after the game, and "Dutch" Huiswold, the referee, officiated in his customary capable RENAISSANCE.

GRAND MAN LOSES LEG CLWELAND, O., Oct. 14 (By the Associated Negro Press)—George W. Rivers of Youngstown, O., had his right leg amputated above the knee at the Cleveland Clinic Hospital, 2045 North Avenue, Cleveland, Saturday morning. Mr. Rivers is an Alpha Phi man of Wilberforce University. He sustained an injury to his knee while practising as a recruit on the football team at school, which he is believed to have caused the infection which made the operation necessary. Billiards Promote Good Fellowship A feeling of cordial fellowship always pervades every well-conducted billiard room. Indeed, every billiard table, in a properly managed recreation center, fairly radiates sociability and good fellowship. This is a very good reason why women should learn to play billiards. Don't forget, the outstanding fact is that billiards is the best method for thorough exercise known. Not nauseous, yet it brings into action every muscle in the body, and at the same time calls for more real brain work than any other sport. Give billiards a trial on our tables.

Having been around the pugilistic pastime for twoscore years, Dougherty, it must be admitted, should know whereof he speaks. At this writing, Dougherty is avid cable and South America guaranteeing. Warre three matches, Godfrey, Pauline and Flirpo are the most likely candidates for these dates. Dougherty is very anxious to get Wavre, Tiger Payne, Leo Foxy Payne, his heavyweight. Payne too claims that the topnotchers make a retreat at the mention of his name. It therefore seems in order for a Payne Warren match and so far as Dougherty is concerned, he's ready to sign with any promoter at any club any time. Jack Dougherty, dean of fight managers, in who his forty years' experience handling fighters of all classes, has managed fifteen champions over the last five prowess of Jack Warren, elongated Chicago lightweight. Dougherty is of the opinion that Warren has it in him to beat every lighthearted light and heavyweight in the heart ladder and heavyweight that includes Leo Lomski, Tommy Loughran, Jimmy Slattery and Tiger HARVEY BAKER TENOR Recitals and Concerts Arranged THE HARLEM SCHOOL 203 WEST 135TH STREET NEW YORK, N.Y.

Harrison's Dramatic Recital Faced with an incredibly small audience for his recital Wednesday evening at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, Richard B. Harrison, dramatist, reader, ingratiated himself with his heurers in a varied program. Mr. Harrison, who is one of the older artists and read the late Paul Dunbar's works before the death of the poet, began his recital with the heavy "Damon and Pythias." He achieved his highest in his offerings with the singers, Dunsee's "Lodge Meeting" "The Tracted Meeting" and Van Scope's "Lament." The reader, following the lead of scores of other artists, also gave a striking portrayal of Poe's "The Raven." Formally a member of the faculty of A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C. Mr. Harrison is giving private lessons at the New York Urban League and in a Brooklyn church.

Folk music, the music of a people, stands at the base of all music. It springs forth spontaneously, embodying the feelings and ordinary sentiments of the domestic and communal life of the people. It acts as a vital outlet in the expression of all bodily motions or mental conditions. To this folk element in music we owe all those qualities which constitute what we call racial characteristics and nationality in music. Let us define folk music as natural, spontaneous melody. We know that folk songs are characterized by a freshness and simplicity, a directness of utterance, such a simplicity that we consider efforts of genius. We know that the cultivators of artistic music were the monks, who found all their material ready to handle only in the folk songs of the people. Such melody was an outgrowth of mere intonation (the voice), while the rhythm was that of the text. Robert Schumann says: "Listen carefully to all folk songs. They are a storehouse of beautiful melody and unfold to the mind the innate character of the different peoples." They are like wild flowers blooming inked by the washes, the product of the race rather than the individual. For centuries this was only slightly known to cultured musicians. There are two views. regarding the use of actual folk music, which are strongly opposed to one another. Many people hold the best thing to their own, to their own clone, let it be heard unadorned, either without accompaniment of any kind, or at most with but a few simple chords. The partisans of the other side hold that a folk tune which has survived the age can, by its virtue really, not itself to the characteristic idiom of one generation after another. Cyril Scott, who has harmonized modernly some of the oldest folk songs, says: "Surely it is the business of gratitude toward those old masters of minstrels to bring forward their creations and present them to the light of the day in a manner to make them once more beloved instead of hidden away regarded as mere historical objects of mind." Those who we consume us for putting the spirit of our age and muse into these old things ought in all logic to censure Tschalkowsky and such other great masters, for the Russian master was fond of introducing old Russian tunes to his treatment and harmonizations. The writer wishes to inform those who have not heard the Fourth Symphony of Tschalkowsky that the finale of this work is of particular significance because of an old Russian folk song, prominently mentioned. Another mention may be made of the artistic work of the Russian Symphonic Choir. A true native spirit can be felt in the treatment of their folk songs. In concluding I must not fail to mention the spontaneous music of a suppressed people, but yet a cheerful people, the Negro. Gratitude is owed to Harry T. Burleigh, who has created international interest for his skillful harmonizations of the Saxophone. Due respect is also bestowed on Lawrence Brown for his unique handling of the southern folk themes. We are compelled to appreciate the beauties in the Burleigh, Brown and Dett's Spiritual arrangements, after hearing Roland Hayes and Paul Robeson. Dr. Eglafleld Hull, the distinguished British musicologist, says: To hear a Roland Hayes in "Deep River and Jordan" to the account of Henry "Harry" Burleigh is a deep-seeking and moving experience the strength of which can only be equalled by a Challinan singing a peasant song notated by a Mussorgsky." Carl Diton Wins Scholarship Of the eighteen scholarships in music awarded last week by the Jallillard Graduate School of Music for study at the Institute of Musical Art, of which Dr. Frank Damrosch is director, for 1928-29, only one was granted a Negro, and he is Carl Diton. Carl Diton, musician-composer and harpist, comes from 432 North Fifty-third street, Philadelphia. Some of his compositions have been published by G. Schrirmer and Theodore Presser. He is the first Negro pianist who made a transcontinental tour (1909-1101). He is to study voice culture. Noirs Communion in D was artistically rendered by St. James picked choir under the direction of one of our few able musicians, Dr. Melville Charlton, at St. James's Presbyterian Church on Sunday. family affairs will bring happiness. A good year this can be. Oct. 23 promises the favor and assistance of elderly people for this birthyear. The friendship of one in high position will bring some gain. There is nothing to prevent the people of today from attaining success. The birthyear for Oct. 23 begins a new sign, Scorpio, the Scorpio. Opportunities will be frequent for the people of today. Some secret agreement will bring much gain. Advance in business and employment is indicated.

"Negro Writer's Task Great" "Negro Writer's 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 Fishkin, who was the first person to be opened the sixth season of book lectures Thursday evening at the 135th Street Branch Public Library. An audience of 100, which taxed the seating capacity of the small lecture room, greeted the new season under the direction of Miss Ernestine Rose, white. The assemblage was liberally sprinkled with white and colored persons. Discussing his novel, the first he has written, Dr. Fisher cited the impossibility of Negroes to engage in any extended conversations without bringing in the color problem. This was arguably the contended, makes it practically impossible for any Negro to approach his question with an unblessed mind. In clarifying his thome he noted the walls which come from Negro readers if one pictures the lowly and the unsavory, and the snorts of disfellowship. Thus, the writer, he asserted, finds himself between two opposing forces, both of which are potential customers. More liberality toward the novelists is the solution, he held. Claiming one uniqueness in common with his fallings, the author declares that he is a writer to use a white character to carry the comedy when the dominant and minority races were described. Hawley Brothers, White, Entertain Salesmen's Club The Hawley brothers, William A. R. and Howard H. both, white, gave a buffet supper and dance at Dark Tower, 108 West 136th street, Monday night under the auspices of the estate holdings of thirty Negro members of both sexes. Their business office is at 2253 Seventh avenue. The properties being sold by them are from the real estate holdings of Charles Montague, Montague, 215 Montague street, Brooklyn. The entire sales force was present, including the following top-notchers whose incomes are said to be regularly $100 a week: Horatio Mellino, Marshall Caldwell, Joseph Gortreud Davis sold $6,000 worth of property in one week, it is reported. The salesmen's proposition is to sell lots for a small down payment of $20, the installment payments to be $10 a month. When the lot is paid for, a arrangement is made for a house may be built upon it without further obligation of cash as the builder will accept the deed security for the first payment. The monthly rent thereafter, which goes towards buying the structure, is 1 per cent of the value of the property. This is possible, the Hawley brothers said, because they sell the lots on which the houses are built at the value placed upon them by the builders, and not their inflated value. Such excellence of skill in handling the choir can be appreciated by music lovers as well as musicicians. Interior church music has always been a subject of much comment. Then a volume of great church music never given in Harleian due to incapable organists and untrained choirs. Dr. Charlton displayed unusual musicianlism in presenting the work. Notwithstanding some few handicaps, the performance was gratifying and could not help but please the most discriminating. Miss Thelma Brunson. piano teacher, shures honors with Florence Herbert in drawing a capacity house. We are assured Miss Brunson's concert was a financial success, if not an artistic one. Pupils who participated performed favorably considering handicaps under which they labored. Miss Brunson will admonish her audience for talking. Miss Irene Cheesman deserves credit for attempting to perform so difficult a work as Chopin's Scherzo in B flat minor. We suspect Miss Cheesman's studio performance was far better than what she offered at the Hennaissance. Such restlessness is a great challenge, best environments and such a work can be given with a higher degree of artistry. We can point with a great pride to Miss Brunson for her earnest efforts in creating musical interest with the younger folk. Among the outstanding pianists is Dr. Hoffman Caldwell, graduate of Syracuse University, who will be heard in a recital at the Brooklyn Academy of Music October 30 at 3:30 p. m. Dr. Melville Chariton began on Sunday, Oct. 7, his eighteenth year as organist at Union Theological Seminary, one of the foremost religious seminaries in the United States. Among the commendatory letters he received were ones from Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Park Avenue Baptist Church, and George A. Coe, professor of education at Columbia University.

Hints for A. C. Tube Operation The rules given for operation of A. C. tubes are the results of extensive experimenting. The 252 type of vacuum tube is the filament type of A. C. tube the 252 type is the heater type of tube. 1. Use tubes of reputable manufacturer. 2. The filament circuit electrical characteristics are not identical in all makes of A. C. tubes. 3. The plate current drain the of the 2nd type of tube should not be greater than 3 milliamperes and should not be less than 2.5 milliamperes. 4. All A. C. tubes require grids bias 4. All B. type A. C. tubes should be 4. All B. type A. C. tubes should be 5. The 227 type A, C. tube should be employed as a detector. 6. Keep filament voltages at rated values. Disconnect All Power Leads Before Changing Connections While experimenters have been cautious about the need to be an audience to play around with devices in high power current supply devices, there are still a few who cannot recreate high voltage terminals with exposed high voltage terminals without the precaution of disconnecting the devices before making changes. There is no danger in the use of such devices in handling them. The safe way is the only way. Disconnect the unit before tinkering with it.

NOBLE CO., Inc. 2136 Seventh Avenue, near 127th Street Phone Monument 5540 Police Officer Has Fine Record Alleged "Gentlemen Burglar's" Patrolman Matthews' Latest Catch For the fourth time in his career as an officer, Patrolman Joseph Matthews (shield No. 11647), of the West 135th street station, has performed highly commendable police duty, caring for himself each time he was called in to duty. At one time he earned honorable mention and now wears the green, white and blue bar with a star. Patrolman Matthews' latest exploit, which undoubtedly recommends him for promotion, was the capture of Wesley Green, 25, 136 Thomas, 26, 67 McBurgars, and Ernest Thomas, 23, 67 McBurgars, which alleged "gentlemen burglars," whom Matthews declares he caught in the act of a daring robbery upon the dress shop of Alexander Gordon, 205 West 145th street, where they smashed the glass door, walked in to $600 and took in $600 worth of hats, dresses and silk undergarments and attempted to escape in an automobile. When arraigned for a further hearing before Magistrate Ewald in Heights Court on Thursday, Thomas and Green were held without ball for the Grand Jury on a charge of robbery. Both prisoners, the police say have violated their parole. They were well dressed and wore diamond rings and stick pins. Deft Work and Swift A little over a month ago Matthews captured a man who smashed the plate glass window of a dry goods store at 454 Lenox avenue with the intention of robbing the place. The case in which Matthews received honorable mention was that in which Matthews apprehended two up-kill men five minutes after a high-speed gun battle in a yard in West 1424 added a dramatic touch to this arrest. One man was captured on the spot. The other man escaped and ran home, where Matthews found him under the bathtub, gun in hand. Matthews' other demonstration of police efficiency occurred about two and a half years ago when he arrested two highwaymen in a hallway at 101 West 137th street just fifteen minutes after they had held up and robbed a white insurance collector.

In the apartment building where I live there are over 300 families living under the one root, all of the same race.

They are being promoted to make us more neighborly, that we may live together with a better understanding. None of these things can be perfected unless we all take a part. Suppose there were no trolleys, autos, theaters, moving pictures, bakers, butchers, grocers, stores, shops, telephones; the luxuries of a modern home, the innumerable contrivances, conventions and enjoyments that civilization has devised for us. We would need to be comfortable with us? Well, this is what our community gives us, but thousands of us take for granted all the advantages of community life and positively refuse to become interested in community welfare. Perhaps some people are unfriendly or "stand-offish" because they think it will cheapen them or cost them something. Yes, a smile would break some people's faces; a pleasant "Good Morning" is out of the question; there are no signs of him being a housewife housed within the same four walls! No one has the right to accept the heritage of civilization so laboriously built up without at least making an effort to develop that civilization still further. Everyone is expected to do his bit towards contributing to the legacy to be handed on to the future generations. Know something about your neighbor. He must have something that interests you to your interest and welfare. If he does, he will help him to your courtesy and your kindness. You may need him some day, who knows?

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1928 GUESTS AT LOCAL HOTELS Bowen to Direct Northeast'n Agents As Newark Agent, New Appointee Sold Half Million of Insurance G. H. Bowen, who for the past two years has served as general agent in the Newark district of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, has been appointed by the board of directors as director of agents. Mr. Bowen assumed his new duties on October 1. Mr. Bowen is the oldest agent in the company's employ, having started when it began about three years ago. He sold a considerable portion of the company's stock and was instrumental in bringing to the company some of its most influential, active and enthusiastic supporters. When the company first began, Mr. Bowen, who is past 60, and who had never sold insurance before, took a rate book and at once became the company's leading salesman. He has steadily maintained record and with few exceptions he has served the monthly honor roll as paying for the largest amount of business in the month. In the three years ending September 8, since the company began writing insurance, Mr. Bowen has written $502,000 worth of paid-up insurance through his own efforts. A much younger man might well envy such a record. During this period he also found the time to attend New York University, where he took a course in life insurance salesmanship. In his office Mr. Bowen said: "All that I have learned, I shall devote to the training of young men and women of the race who are willing to accept what I have to give."

Church Seventeen Women Are Engaged in Undertaking Business in N. Y. City By THELMA E. BERLACK "New York is overrun w aged observer not many days a was emphatic in his use of the than a generic sense. New York women, too, h it may not be as pronounced a the professional field to one of taking - I shall tell of some York City only who have ent "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 Mary Lane with professional men," said an ago. Being of the old school, he term "men" in a specific rather have a professional trend, though as that of the men.

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. Evelyn Cooper-Howell Although Othello G. Howell is a licensed undertaker, he spends (Continued on Page 13.) 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 sion EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO BUY HIGH-CLASS APARTMENTS CHEAPER THAN RENT Co-operative Plan --- 5,6 and 7 Rooms Elevator Service --- Parquet Floors Tiled Baths 880 St. Nicholas Avenue Phone No. 1550 Audubon LUCILLE EDWAR 2196 Seventh Avenue Edgecombe 3089 JAMAICA HOMES -- 5, C Sun parlor, breakfast nook, tile bath and kitchen steam heat, brass plumbing, fireproof r sewers, paved streets, curbs, sidewalks; r churches; short distance from L.

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. The foregoing does not apply to receivers, referees, administrators, executors, guardians or other persons appointed by or acting under the judgment on orders of any court, to attorneys in prison while performing their official duties to no attorneys at law, all of whom specifically exempted from the application of the statute by a "saving clause" therein.

Two Women Injured The serious injury of Mrs. A. Pierre and Mrs. O. J.

The two were given treatment at Harlan Hospital and will return home late this week.

White, 20 West 130th street, was a trained nurse before she studied embalming at the Ekles School in Philadelphia.

She is a member of 106 West 130th street. This Suffolk, Va., woman is secretary of Stewardess Board No. 1 of the Helping Hand Society and of Class No. 9, and a member of the Gospel Chorus, one of the ten choirs of Mother Zion Church here.

She is originally from Lancaster, C. C. daughter, Janie Connors, is a June graduate of the Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School. Lelia E. Brown After reading an article on the need of women embalmers, in preference to just women helpers, over eighteen years ago, Mrs. Lella E. Brown, 758 East 225th street, decided to go to the Massachusetts Embalmer and upon graduating from there she took the State Board. Mrs. Brown is associated with Rodney L. Dade, 2244 Seventh avenue. It was her husband's intention to study the same profession and they were to go in business together, but those plans never materialized. She is from Richmond, Van. and is the mother of a son, Benjamin Brown III. Her hobby is to little bit of everything," but mainly real estate. Brooklyn is proud of its three three women undertakers.

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.

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.

Wednesday, October 17, 1928 Wherever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. Send Johnson to Congress THE AMSTERDAM NEWS commented last week upon Judge Olvany's statement that the United Colored Democracy would no longer be recognized because there were only 23,000 votes in Harlem. The probable reason for Judge Olvany's decision has already been discussed and need not be repeated here. 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 organization would dare kick them around the way they do. AFTER MAKING ALLOWANCE for Tammany's open and the Republican party's secret flirting with the South, the fact remains that the Negro in New York is mostly to blame for his political condition. In politics, as in social work, art and literature, he depends too much on paternalism; he waits for white people to hand him everything instead of going out and getting it for himself. He expects Negro judges and congressmen to spring from the ground merely by his praying for them; he expects the big political organizations to make a great outlay of energy, appointments and money in a district where the number of registered voters does not warrant it. THE HARLEM NEGRO has a far more powerful political weapon than he realizes. For comparison, take 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 dominate the whole city, it is obvious that a block of 100,000 votes is enough to dominate Harlem. More than that, it is enough not merely to ask but to demand recognition by both political parties in every city and state election; it is enough to put Negroes in Congress, on the judge's bench and in hundreds of minor positions. And the Negroes of Harlem, with a population of 250,000, have at least 100,000 persons eligible to vote. REGISTRATION WEEK is past and one great thing remains to be done. That is for every Negro voter, Republican or Democrat, to vote to send Edward A. Johnson to Congress. Remember that you are voting for him, not as a 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 into their own hands. But not only from Harlem, but from other parts of the city have come complaints of policemen's violence. LAST WEEK A HOLLAND TUBE policeman was convicted of felonious assault and will be sentenced tomorrow to prison for beating a man and fracturing his jaw when arresting him for a minor traffic violation. Judge Mancuso, in charging the jury, said, among other things: "There seems to be an impression that a police officer may shoot and kill any offender who may not yield to his command to submit to arrest. This is an erroneous conception of the law." LAST WEEK The Amsterdam News quoted from "Police Practice and Procedure" these words, which all policemen would do well to commit to memory: "The power to punish is vested in the judiciary. For instance, if you apprehend a murderer, you must not necessarily 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 has 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 lawlessness, not to commit it themselves. What Every Negro Knows What Every Negro Knows A MAN NAMED LAPIERE, writing in a magazine published by the University of North Carolina, reports the results of an unusual investigation which he made of race prejudice in England and France. Of 360 people questioned in France only nine admitted having race prejudice toward Negroes and 179 said they had none whatever. In England, of 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 social in origin. WITH ALL HONOR to Mr. Lapiere for his painstaking study and sensible deductions, they are rather amusing. Indeed, it is almost ludicrous to see how slowly and laboriously white people arrive at facts which every Negro has known all his life. Mr. Lapiere 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 American adults, especially in the South, and drawn his conclusions from their actions, not their words. --- Pasteur and the Medical ON FRIDAY the great Medical Center at 168th street and Brondway was dedicated. Costing $21,000,000, it is the largest group hospital in the world, comprising eleven schools and hospitals. Everything that ample money and great buildings 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 sixteenth 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 interests of medical science. BUT EVEN AS ONE GAZES on those colossal buildings, filled with the costliest appliances, there comes the disquieting thought that one man like Pasteur or Jenner is worth more than all of them together, including the celebrated 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 Medical Center ever will. PERHAPS it is because of the spirit that animated Pasteur. He worked solely for God and humanity, in humility of heart and for all men. In contrast, one of the hospitals 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, barring 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 influence of the unions keeps them from what is classed as skilled labor. THIS IS NOTHING NEW, but it has a particular pertinency this year because of the campaign. During campaigns the political parties, especially one minor party, try to make the Negro believe that his interests are identical with those of the white laborer, that the white laborer is his friend and the white capitalist is his 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 complained 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 Federation 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. BOOK REVIEW The Vast Cry of a Buried Continent SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR, MUSICIAN, HIS LIFE AND LETTERS; By W. C. Berwick Sayers; Cassell & Co., Ltd., London, New York, Toronto and Melbourne. AT TIMES," said Coleridge-Taylor, "I could set 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 greatest living composer. As it is, the colored people of America do not realize how great a composer he was. They think of him only as the man who set Longwellow's "Hiawatha" to imperishable music. They know nothing of his "Tale of Old Japan," "Bamboula," "The Atonement," "Meg Blane," "Kuhua Khan," "Danse Negre" and his innumerable shorter pieces 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. W. C. Berwick Sayers has written the best life of Coleridge-Taylor obtainable. An intimate friend of the composer, he wrote it as a love of love the request of Mrs. Crawford. The book starts with the composer's father and takes us through the childhood and the entire life of the great musician. Coleridge-Taylor's father, Daniel Hughes Taylor, was a West African, who came to London for a medical education. He was brilliant in character. He fell in love unsuitable in pretty English girl; they eloped and were married. Soon Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born and named after the great poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. But the father lacked a sense of responsibility; he wont off to Africa, but instead married for, and soon afterward he died. The child, who was born in 1875, was reared by his mother and stepfather, his mother having married an Englishman named Evans after. Daniel Taylor's death. Some Americans would think it whimsical, others would call it funny, but to see a white couple tenderly greet me. From the very first the wife's fine disposition won friends. He was popular at school, where they called him Coaly. His bant for music was not long in appearing. At the age of nine he wrote a new tune for "God Save the Queen." In his music lessons he started with violin, but he got his first chance as a choir singer in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Addiscombe. In a school singing competition he won the first prize. His friends thought it was time for him to learn a trade like the other boys in his school. He was offered a job as a piano tuner. As someone said, this was like using a razor to chop firewood. Discouragement at this stage of his career might have wrecked him, but he was always fortunate in having good friends and connoisseur encouragement. Colonel Walters, who was not a wealthy man, made a personal sacrifice to put him in the Royal College of Music in London. There he lined the piano and met the eminent Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, his favorite instructor. He was now eighteen years old. He had worked hard, continually composing and doing outside reading for general culture. Soon he presented his own compositions at a concert, and wrote a quintet which attracted public notice. He was so ambitious that when he was twenty he wrote an entire symphony, which never was published. When he was graduated from the Royal College at twenty-two he had composed thirty works. At this time, in 1897, he met Paul Laurence Dunbart, who was visiting in London. Together they wrote an opera called "Dream Lovers" and Coleridge-Taylor set a number of Dunbart's poems to music. They held several concerts, Dunbart rectifying and Coleridge-Taylor playing. In 1898, at the age of twenty-three, Coleridge-Taylor suddenly SPECIAL ARTICLES Political Questions Q. How long has Charles Curtis served in the U. S. Senate? How old is he? A. He was first elected to fill an unexpired position in 1907, and has been continuously re-elected. Senator Curtis was born in 1860. Q. Were Hoover's parents born in America? A. They were. His first established educator was an Andrew Hoover who owned a farm in Maryland about 1740. He probably was Dutch immigrant. Hoover's maternal grandfather is believed to have been a native of Ohio. Q. Which candidate is Frank O. Lowden supporting in the present campaign? A. Hoover. Mr. Lowden, who is recognized as an outstanding leader and a beloved father, is actively engaged in the campaign under the auspices of the Republican Speakers' Bureau. Q. Who are the official leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties? A.-The presidential candidates, Hoover and Smith, are considered the national party leaders. However, the active direction of party leaders is directed by the chairmen of the chairmen of the National Committees, Dr. Hubert Work of the Republicans, and John J. Haskob for the Democrats. Q.-Has Governor Smith ever held a U. S. Government position A.-No. His entire public service has been in New York City, county and state offices, the highest of which is that of governor. Q.-What was Herbert Hoover's greatest service to humanity! A.—Regarding a man of such wide and varied works, this is a difficult question to answer. In view of his known humanitarianism, it is most proud of his accomplishment of Belgian Relief, which resulted in the saving of 10,000,000 or more lives during the World War. To put it cold value on an act of a dozen or more others is hardly possible. Perhaps the only answer to your question is that Hoover's greatest worth to humanity has not been so much personal an account—in his having made into this generation which must need him.

My Dear Sir: I have just read your editorial, "Cutting Off Your Nose," in your issue of October 3 in which speaking of Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton's statement in behalf of the candidacy of Governor Smith, you, by indirection, attribute that support at least in part to Commissioner Positivus. I refer myself to the position, "Some hard-boiled souls might reply that Mr. Morton is for Smith because he holds a high salaried job under Tammany Hall." Will you permit me to say that I feel that this is less than fair to Mr. Morton? Over a period of several years I have had the opportunity 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 given position because of the position he holds, Mr. Morton, on the contrary, has several times risked the loss of that position by his stint in behalf of just all Negroes. Mr. Morton would much more popular with Tammany Hall if he had been willing to yield to their demands in certain matters. Ever sincerely, (Signed) WALTER WHITE, Assistant Secretary, N. A. A. C. P.

Sir Edward Elgar, the celebrant composer, had been invited to perform, but he was busy and suggested that, Coleridge-Taylor be asked. His advice was accepted, and Coleridge-Taylor produced a new piece, "Ballade in A Minor." The next day the English papers were full of its praises and the composer was invited to conduct the piece in London. Coleridge-Taylor's name was made. His next composition, "Hiwatha's Wedding Feast," hit the British public squarely and brought him to the top rank of English composers. It was sung in the Royal College of Music. The tenor solo, "Oraway, Awake, Beloved," was hailed as the greatest ever written by an Englishman. Hiwatha became and still remains the most popular cantata in England. Coleridge-Taylor followed it in 1815, and in 1816 with "Hiwatha's Dances" completing a wonderful trio. His celebrity was now complete; at the age of twenty-four he was the man of the hour. This year he married Miss Jessie Walmisley, niece of the professor of music at Oxford University of this union two children were born, Hiwatha and Gwendolyn. With all Coleridge-Taylor's celebrity there was a飞 in the ointment. When he wrote "Hinwatha's Wedding Feast" he was hard up and the music dealers refused to publish it unless he sold it outright. In despair he accepted their terms and sold all his rights in the piece for $75.55. If he had kept his rights he would have been a rich man; the publishers made a fortune out of "Hila- Spreading Democratic Bunk in Harlem ALFRED E SMITH FOR PRESIDENT STAY OFF THE SOUTH AL!

HOLLOWAY 140 Know New York State The Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York is the oldest commercial organization in the United States. It was founded in 1768 under a charter from King George III of England. More automobiles, taxicabs and motor trucks operate in New York than in any other city in the world, 618,000 having been registered at the beginning of the year. The annual increase is about 50,000. At Letchworth Village, Rockland County, N. Y., the State maintains an institution for the feeble-minded, caring for about 2,300. Farming carried on by them in 1927 produced crops worth $66,000. At Cortland, N. Y., is manufactured one-fourth of the world's supply of wire cloth. The Empire State has 5,811 residents listed in "Who's Who in America," a total greater than that of any other State. Massachusetts comes second and Illinois third on the list. New York City on July 30, 1928, had a population of 6,107,500, a gain of 144,144 since the State census of 1925. watha." This is too often the fate of genius. England, especially in those days, was not nearly so prejudiced as America, but here and there a critic tried to belittle the composer because of his color. He wished to judge him as a Negro fighter or musician. After "Mawatha" they could not be little his music, but some of them said: "He will never do anything more—ha is a Negro." Coleridge-Taylor proceeded to make them eat their words. Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree was producing the poetical dramas of Stephen Phillips and he asked the Negro composer to write the incidental music. This he did brilliantly, adding to his reputation. In the next two years he composed a歌 "The Alonso," "The Tonsaint," L'Ouverture. He was then invited to act as adjudicator at the Elstedafod, the great music festival in Wales, and he held this position to the end of his busy life. In 1904 he made his first visit to America, where the colored people of Washington had organized a Coleridge-Taylor choral society. Returning to England, he was professor of music at Trinity College and at the University of Colorado. He composed compositions of Coleridge-Taylor were the famous "Bambuole" and the African Suite which includes the "Danse Negre." In his last years Coleridge-Taylor became an ardent apostle of his race, vigorously defending it against every attack in the public press and elsewhere. He was a strong advocate of vindicate the genius of the Negro. He had great plans for the development of Negro music and for compositions which should truly express the message of the Negro to these plans were never carried out.

Although colds exist at all times, this is the season of the year in which they are more prevalent.

It is obvious that colds are "catching"; hence, there is necessity of avoiding, as much as possible, close contact with those who have been from home. The severity of a cold will be determined by the amount of the lost much time.

For the benefit of those who may not know, for ful of knowledge, to prescribe for a customer, and in many instances where this is done the patient is usually the sufferer. Colds are easily contracted, but sometimes hard to get rid of. Trying all the cough remedies advertised before seeking medical aid and thinking that the world will come and if you stay cold in a day are both being. It does not take long for this congestion to spread to the smaller tubes, where it is most difficult to treat. Every cold leaves its victim somewhat weaker and more susceptible, so that further care and some form of tonic are usually recommended. The reason is so important that we shall take up next week some rational precautions in the prevention of them. THIS is my wedding day..... "Who cares, who cares?" cried I day in a tree: A Jose in the garden mocked at me, Who sat in a chair while the wind went past. Trying to make the summer last. This is my mending day..... But a road that led to a gay little hill. Beckoned me on—and had its will: I found a path that I'd never seen. I sat in a place where I'd never been. All this, on my mending day! FRANCES RODMAN. Colds There is apparently no specific germ to which we may attribute colds, but a combination of the common forms of bacteria may be found in the examination of the secretions from the nose or sputum of those suffering from colds. It is obvious that colds are "catching"; hence, there is necessity of closing the mouth as possible close contact with those who are suffering from them. The severity of a cold will be determined by the amount of the lining membrane of the breathing apparatus involved. If the congestion stops in the nasal passages, you have a head cold; further, it becomes a laryngitis with its associated hoarseness and burning of the throat; still further down into the bronchial tubes, it is a bronchitis with lightness, tightness and soreness under the chest bone. This condition may or may not be associated with fever. Every cold, no matter how simple, should be treated vigorously. There is always the danger of a cold growing worse from spreading to the adjacent lining membrane, or from further exposure by the indifferent attitude entertained by so many of us. It is well to remember that it is far more physically to lose a day or two fighting off an acute cold than to have several weeks of pneumonia or some other complication. Rest is fundamentally the best remedy for a cold; if not rest from work, certainly rest from the nightly. social obligations in which we too readily indulge. A hot bath only at the very beginning of a cold, followed by a hot drink and one of the antifreeze fluids, should be done at a time when the individual can go directly to bed and he well covered. It is advisable to spend that next day in, and in all probability one will be sufficiently well to get back on the job without having stant, composing, teaching and conducting. Coleridge-Taylor contracted pneumonia and on Sept. 1, 1912, died. He was thirty-seven years old. England mourned him. Alfred Noyes wrote a poem calling his work "the vast cry of a buried continent." On his beautiful headstone in Bandon Hill Cemetery is a staff with four bars of music and the words: "Thuin hawtha, Hairwatha, Hairwatha, Hairwatha."
