Christmas Greetings LEWIS H. LATIMER, EDISON'S ASSISTANT, DIES AT AGE OF 81 Deceased Sold Newspapers for William Lloyd Garrison —Also Drew Plans for Alexander Graham Bell's Telephone By AUBREY BOWSER Lewis H.

He was 81 years of age. Lewis H. Latimer, one of Thomas A. Edison's earliest assistants and draftman of the original plans of the first telephone, died last Tuesday night at his home, 64 Holly street, Flushing. He was 81 years of age. --- REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections Mr. Latimer had an unusual career but, because of his modesty, the public knew very little about it. He was born in Chelsea, Mass., in 1847, and attended the public schools of Boston. As a boy he sold papers. He was perhaps the last survivor of the newsboys who sold William Lloyd Garrison's famous Abolitionist paper, The Liberator. After leaving school he studied electrical engineering and draftsmash. His studies were interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War. He enlisted in the United States Navy and served through the war on the U. S. S. Massasoit. When the war was over he returned to his studies. He made the acquaintance of Alexander Graham Bell, who was then trying to invent the telephone. For Bell Mr. Latimer drew the plans of the first telephone and Bell used them in his application for a patent. It is not generally known that a Negro man drew up the first plans for the telephone. In 1878 Mr. Latimer came to New York to work with Thomas A. Edison, who was then beginning his great career as an inventor. For the rest of his life he was associated with Edison, drawing plans for many of his inventions. When the incandescent lamp, was invented Mr. Latimer wrote a book describ- (Continued on Page 10) This Week's News Index Editorials ..... 20 Special Articles ..... 20 General, Local and National News ..... 1 to 5, 10 News of Society and Women's Activities ..... 6, 7 News of Churches and Fraternities.

Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, speaking at Monday morning's session of the National Interracial Conference in the auditorium of the Department of the Interior Building. "The colored people have made a very remarkable progress along health lines in the last thirty years," declared Dr. Dublin. "The lower death rates and the longer life span have disproved the old notions which condemned the American Negro to ultimate extinction because of inability to fit into the hard conditions of American life. "The race has shown, in many ways, great ability to profit from every improvement of environment. This does not mean that the future progress of the Negro will be easy. There are still plenty of disabilities to overcome, but the fight is now far from a hopeless one. "The Negro has learned how to adapt himself to American life. Further improvement in the standard of living and the spread of education among them will, I am confident, result in bringing their death rates and morbidity rates lower, so that they may well be compared with those for the great mass of our population of a similar economic status. "The general death rate of the Negro is still about two-thirds higher than that of the whites. But this excess is largely concentrated at the younger ages and is due to causes which we understand and which, fortunately, lend themselves to control. The prevalence of tuberculosis among Negroes is still a major item. It is the leading cause of death among them and its prevalence is three times as great as among whites. On the other hand, tuberculosis is rapidly declining all along the line. The same is true of such other conditions as pneumonia, malaria, typhoid fever and pellagra. "The health progress of the Negro race will from time to time slow up, especially if there be heavy migration to the Northern cities. But these interruptions will be of short duration until the newcomers catch up economically with their fellows and provide for themselves those advantages which are available to the other citizens. "The outlook for the future of the Negro from a health standpoint is distinctly bright. He is getting a large share, if not his full portion, of the benefits of sanitation and public health work in America. His expectation of life today is the same as that of the white man only thirty years ago. There is every reason to believe that the Negro race is physically well organized and, under improving environmental conditions, will continue to add to his life expectancy. Everything will depend upon the Negro's energy, his education, the opportunities that are offered to him, and especially the co-operation which he will get from his fellow citizens to avail himself of the newer knowledge of personal hygiene and of the benefits of community hygiene. Housing Discussed The housing of Negroes in American cities and the problem occasioned by the northward migration formed the topic of discussion at this afternoon's session of the conference. T. J. Woofter Jr. of the University of North Carolina declared that the crowding of Negroes in sections of the cities produced excessive renis and insanitary conditions. "Since Negroes in most cities are restricted to certain districts in which they must live," declared Mr. Wootter, "the incoming migrants find the housing situation already fixed by the landlord and speculative builder and must take whatever is offered." Citing as a successful experiment the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Apartments, erected by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in New York City, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the resident manager, said that what had been achieved in Harlem could be achieved in other cities of the United States. Stenographer Charged With Grand Larceny Alice Taylor Harris, 27, 273 West 150th street, was held without ball on a charge of grand larceny when arraigned in Heights Court Monday before Magistrate Well, who declared that he had no power to fix ball in the absence of a fingerprint record. The case was adjourned for a further hearing next Monday. The complaint was Paris H. Quallies, real estate man, 1980. Seventh avenue, for whom Mrs. Harris worked as a stenographer. Quallies alleged that on April 29 and 30, 1927, during his illness, his stenographer collected rents from 228 and 224 West 149th street, 210-214 West 150th street, in the amount of $220 without authority. He declared that Mrs. Harris has withheld this amount from him since that time.

C., Dec. 17.—A bill aimed at the Ku Klux Klan has been introduced in the House by Representative Victor L. Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin. The Berger measure is largely copied from the acts of 1870-71. Its principal objects are to enforce the rights of citizens of the United States, to protect them against intimidation and threats, and to punish conspiracies against their rights. The bill would make it a felony for any two or more persons to conspire together or go in disguise, upon the public highway or the promises of another with the intent to prevent or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise and enjoyment of his rights as a citizen. The penalty would be a fine not to exceed 55,000 and imprisonment not to exceed ten years. The United States District Courts would be given jurisdiction of all offenses under this act. The Berger Act also embraces the provisions of the New York statute which the Supreme Court of the United States recently held constitutional. It would require every association requiring an oath as a condition of membership to file with the clerks of United States District Courts a sworn copy of its constitution, by-laws, rules, regulations and cath of membership, together with a roster of its membership and a list of its officers. 3 Freed of Robbery, Assault and Larceny Charged with robbery, grand larceny and first degree assault, Archie Brooks, 23, and Edward Clark, 22, 43 West, 127th street, and Harold Thomas, 22, 159 West, 123d street, were acquitted Thursday in General Sessions, by a jury which, after being out five hours, was rebuked for its verdict. by Judge Morris Koenig, who said they should have brought; in a verdict of first degree assault. The three men were charged with holding up one Frank Joseph, 35, a ship's rigger, at 366. Lenox avenue on the night of Nov. 26 last and beating him, unmercifully after they learned he had no money. Vernal Williams, 200 West 135th street, attorney for the defense, contended that Joseph was beaten by someone other than his clients while he was drunk and disorderly. The arresting officer, Patroiman Ackerman, of the West 135th street station, also testified. ALLEGED JOSTLER GETS 30-DAY SENTENCE Alfred Bishop, 27 years old, a porter of 205 West 148th street, was sentenced to thirty days in the workhouse Thursday by Magistrate H. Stanley Renaud in West Side Court. Bishop was arrested by Detectives Hollingsworth and Wright of the pickpocket squad as he was fostling people on the platform of the I. R. T. subway station at Ninety-sixth street, on the West Side line. Immediately after his arrest he broke away and fled, knocking down several people, but was recaptured. Jostling constitutes disorderly conduct. Gambling Raids Net 29 A crap raid upon 2449 Seventh avenue caused the arrest of Frederick Brown, 34, 160. West, 144th street, and thirteen others, while a raid upon a card game at 200 West, 153th street caused William Reid, 41, 247 West 147th street, to be taken in custody by Patrolman Schmittes of the Sixth Division.

Conrad Vincent, noted urological surgeon, with offices at 209 West 155th street, is about to the completion of his private hospital at 2348 Seventh avenue, between 137th and 138th streets. When completed and equipped the new hospital will accommodate over fifty bed patients. The total cost of the new institution has been estimated at $153,000. The structure is five stories and is fireproof. In addition to the operating room, consultation rooms, kitchen facilities, etc., provision has been made for an elaborate dental suite and laboratory. An elevator has been installed in the building. Sunday's issue of the New York World stated that Dr. Vincent is on the staff of Harlem Hospital as a consulting surgeon, but in a statement Monday to a representative of The Amsterdam News Dr. Vincent said that he is a visiting adjunct in surgery at the hospital. He also pointed out several other inaccurate statements in the World's report. Final plans, Dr. Vincent said, have not been made for the opening of the hospital. Bronx Janitor Traps Bogus Suit Salesman Accused of swindling colored and white residents of the Bronx, and the East Side out of money he accepted, or deposits on "factory-to-you" clothing; James Mason, alias Sidney Isaacson, 26, white, 310 West Ninety-fourth street, a salesman, was held in $5,000 for Special Sessions on a charge of petty larceny when arraigned Monday before Magistrate Well in Heights Court. This was the second charge of petty larceny against Mason, the first one having been heard in Morrisania Court on Dec. 5, at which time Mason was held in $1,500 ball for Special Sessions. Mason is said to be the son of a well-to-do merchant Credit for the arrest of Mason goes to Clarence Jones, a janitor at 1203 Westchester avenue, who plotted with detectives of the Simpson street station to trap him by paying a $10 deposit on a $26 suit. Jones was rewarded with a new suit of clothes free by the Servewell Clothes Corporation. 55 East Elvontheast街, J. L. Citron, white, manager, for whom Mason represented himself as a salesman. Oscar Waters, Harlem Politician, Held in $10,000 Bail on Forgery Charge Oscar Waters, 40, 260 West 123d street, one-tine Republican, then Democrat, and now Republican politician again, was arraigned on a short affidavit in Heights Court before Magistrate Gottlieb on Friday and held in $5,000 bail for a further hearing Monday, on a charge of forging the name of Judge George H. Furman of Suffolk County Court to gun permits last June. Magistrate Weil Monday held Waters in $10,000 bail for the Grand Jury. He was represented by Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, 2313 Soventh avenue. Bond for his release Friday was furnished by John McGraw, white, 236 West 127th street. Detective Webber of the West 133th street station was the arresting officer. him, the judge declared that he did not remember having sent such a letter. The signatures on the two permits were shown to Judge Furman, who said they were not his signa- The short affidavit on which Wators was held was changed to a full complaint Monday, naming John N. Stephani, deputy sheriff of Suffolk County, as complainant. Speakeasy Men Involved The trouble started Dec. 7 when Detective Harold J. Fay of the Homicide Squad arrested John Reda, connected with a speakeasy at 2243 Seventh avenue, and Angelo Jaconetti, connected with a speakeasy at 2216 Seventh avenue, both white, on whose persons the officer found revolvers. Both men showed pistol permits and told the police that they bought them from Waters. Inspector Carey of the Homicide Squid sent his men out to bring in Waters, but he could not be found until Detective Webben was put on his trail. Webber 'trailed him for thirty-six hours. Reda and Jaconetti were held in $1,500 ball for Special Sessions on a charge of possessing forged permits. Four other white men were arrested also, the police said. Paid $50 Apiece The two Italians testified Monday that Waters had volunteered them the information that he was employed in Judge Furman's office and that he could procure pistol permits for them. Accordingly, Waters called at their speakeasles and handed them permits for the price of $50 each, they testified. The police declare that Waters forged eight permits and sold them, but that since his arrest the permits have probably been destroyed and the revolvers disposed, of. Both men admitted on the witness stand that they were connected with speakeasles. They were represented by Attorney Edward W. McDonald, white, 51 Chambers street. County Clerk Greenhorn, white, of Suffolk County, testified that his office has no record of application having been made for pistol permits for Reda or Jaconett. Alderman Hawkins drew from Greenhorn the admission that he only consulted the records upon request, the last one being that of Deputy Sheriff Stephani on Friday. The latter testified that he looked over the records but did not examine them all. The forged permits were given out five or six months ago, the testimony revealed. Judge Doesn't Remember Judge Furman took the stand and testified that he knew Waters only slightly, having seen him at his office-a few times. When Alderman Hawkins asked him to identify a letter dated Oct. 12, supposedly dictated by him and addressed to Waters to arrange a meeting with A Merry Christmas Sensible Giving Within recent years a large number of men and women have applied thought and commonsense to their Christmas giving by discontinuing to give those things which were of no permanent value. Many have realized that an Xmas Savings Fund, a subscription to a good magazine, or to a Book-a-Month Club, the beginning of a Savings Account, or the creation of an estate through a Life Insurance Policy were worthwhile gifts which would not only give momentary pleasure, but would be of material value throughout the coming years. An Educational Policy on your life for the benefit of a son or daughter would guarantee to them that preparation for their life's work which is absolutely essential in this age of efficiency. A savings account in the form of an Endowment Policy would be an admirable gift for a wife, and would serve as an unfailing barrier against poverty and dependence on relatives or charity in her Old Age. Additional insurance on your own life will immediately increase your estate—your savings—your protection—and create for you an Emergency Fund that in later years will enable you to face the dawn of each new day with the same spirit of hope and cheer that is so prevalent at Christmastide.

J. him, the judge declared that he did not remember having sent such a letter. The signatures on the two permits were shown to Judge Furman, who said they were not his signatures. A signature on another permit, the name upon which was mutilated on a crease in the worm and soiled paper, was readily identified by him as his genuine signature. Alderman Hawkins declared that the gurr permit which Judge Furman admitted bore his genuine signature was issued to Waters by the judge. Water's counsel declared that, although he did not know the date upon which it was issued, it does not appear until 1829. Alderman Hawkins questioned Judge Furman and County Clerk Greenhorn regarding a man named Fred Carter, white, to learn if he was employed in either of their offices. They replied in the negative. It was also denied that Waters was ever employed in their offices. The inference was that Fred Carter had something to do with the forged permits. Waters denied signing them. Alderman Hawkins hopes to prove at the coming trial that Waters not only did not sign the permits but did not sell them to Reda and Jaconetif. At the opening of the hearing there was lengthy argument on the question of adjournment for the purpose of getting one of the italics to appear who was arrested in possession of a forged permit but who was discharged. At the close of the proceedings Alderman Hawkins made a motion for dismissal on the grounds that the testimony relating to the alleged sale of the permits was irrelevant to the charge of forgery, and that the People had failed to establish that Waters had committed a forgery. The motion was denied. Police records disclose that Waters was arrested in 1921 on charges of felonious assault and violation of the Sullivan law. The first charge was dismissed by the Grand Jury, but Waters was sent to prison for three months on the gun charge, Jan. 6, 1932. In December, 1921, he was arrested for disorderly conduct, and for gambling a year later. Both charges were dismissed. Half His Life Spent in Jail Released Convict, if Convicted, May Get Life Sentence With a record of seventeen of his thirty-two years spent behind prison bars, James Criger, gentleman of leisure, was in the Tombs today facing charges which will send him to life imprisonment if convicted. Criger was extradited from Boston last Wednesday on charges of stealing luggage worth $1,150 from Dr. L. C. Sansford, white, a guest of the Hotel Roosevelt on November 17. He employed the ruse, police say, of pretending to be a porter and simply disappearing with the luggage through the door opposite the one the guest entered. Only twelve days before he was released from Sing Sing, where he had served three and a half years for grand larceny. Four other terms for the same crime are on his record, according to police. Criger has stricter $80,000 worth of luggage from large downtown hotels, officers assert. He was reported to have given 18 West 135th street as his address, but persons there say they have no knowledge of him. Girl Attempts Suicide Jerelle Pephan, 18, 128 West 137th street attempted suicide early last week by drinking iodine at 529 Lenox avenue. Patrolman Alexander Johnson of the West 135th street station removed her to Harlem Hospital, where she was treated by Dr. Kaplan. The girl's sister, Isabelle Duncan, same address, was notified. The motive was not learned. Mystery Surrounds Slaying of Chicag Youth, Seventeen, in Wild Fusilla $ ^{A} $ 107 Mystery Surrounds Slaying of Chicag Youth, Seventeen, in Wild Fusilla $ ^{A} $ 107 CHICAGO, Dec. 17 (ANP).-The breaking of a window here Wednesday morning caused the wounding of nine policemen and the killing of a 17-year-old youth in a pitched battle which lasted five hours between the youth and 200 policemen led by the highest police officials. RELIABLE DENTAL WORK at Prices You Can Afford Dr. I. Schmidt Dr. H. Rothblatt Surgeon Dentists 288 St. Nicholas Ave., Cor. 125th St. "Neglect of Your Teeth Is Costly" TELEPHONE MONUMENT 8714 Ernest Whitehurst, the youth, was charged with throwing a brick through the window of a restaurant on West Division street and two officers went to his home to arrest him. When the officers arrived, according to their testimony, Whitehurst fired through the door but failed to score a hit. Returning with reinforcements, a battle was engaged in, which has been declared to have been the most spectacular in the history of Chicago. Braving tear-gas bombs, machine-gun and pistol fire, Whitehurst shot with reckless abandon, accuracy and regularly which would do credit to any of the many Chicago gunmen. At almost every shot, an officer fell wounded but not one was seriously injured. The two hundred officers fired from behind steel shields and from adjoining buildings, but to no avail. Finally, protected by shields, they rushed the door and crowded the youth in a bathroom, where his body was riddled with bullets. An examination of the body at the Bridewell Hospital tal revealed "too many wounds to count." **Mystery Surrounds Killing** Just why the youth resisted the officers and, why it was necessary to kill him are yet mysteries to be cleared up. Whitenhurst's sister, Mary, age 25, who is a cripple, told officers that her brother did know that the two men who came to the door at first were officers, they were not in uniform and, mitaking them for robbers, opened it upon them, but she could not a count for his continued resisted Officers explained the killing with several reasons, the most important being: a narrow hallway prevented a concerted rush by police, and a strong wind blew tear bomb gas away. Another mystery surrounding the killing was the reason why White hurst threw the brick through the window. Had he been refused service, because he was a Negro? Had the owner aroused his ice by some curt remark? SCORES LAWS AGAINST BIRTH CONTROL International Lecturer and 'Y' Worker Addresses Young People's Conference Sherwood Eddy Tells of Fearful Consequences of Securing Sex Education Through Improper Channels Instead of in Schools State and Federal laws that prohibit the dissemination of certain information on birth control were severely scored by Sherwood Eddy, white, international lecturer and Y.M.C.A. worker, in an address Sunday at the 135th street branch Y.M.C.A. Mr. Eddy's speech was the second of a series on pertinent problems under the auspices of the Young People's Conference. The Y.M.C.A. man came out flatly for programs of sex education suited to all ages, and for practice of family limitation for the sake of women's health and bridging financial difficulties of too large families. He spoke upon the general subject of "Some Sex Problems of Youth," which he covered more thoroughly in a book published last week by Doubleday and Doran. Mr. Eddy told his 200 hearers that sex is the most neglected of all subjects, and yet, he averred. It is the cause of more woes than child labor and a half dozen other vicious human failings. He described the sex impulse as a motive which leads one to the lowest depths or elevates to the "holiest things in life." Telling of fearful consequences of allowing parsons to gain their sex education through improper channels, Mr. Eddy declared that the present need is for the frankness with which the Bible approaches this delicate question. Information should begin at home when the child is quite young, he said, and extend the question to the adult. The apterer backed his advocacy of family limitation by declaring that the average healthy young woman will give birth to fifteen children if unhampered. Such a family, he contended, would in most cases kill the mother and bankrupt the father. That fact, however, Mr. Eddy said, should not lead one to abstinence from the most intimate of marital relations for, according to his belief, the sacrament of Christ and that of physical relations of man and wife are on par. Here the law again came in for scoring when he stated that refusal to carry out this obligation is cause for divorce. Mr. Eddy was introduced by Miss Beatrice Price Russell, white, who acted as pianist for the conference. Miss Leonphia Wright, dramatic dearer, recited "Curfew Must Not Mig Tonight," Galen Russell, white chairman of the youth section of the Pewship of Reconciliation and director of religious education of the Church of Our Saviour, will address the body next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock on "Love and Marriage."

Three detectives hurried to the house and allege they saw Jenkins pointing a revolver at his wife, who was pleading with her husband to spare her life. The detectives entered and disarmed Jenkins. He was charged with felonious assault and violating the Suillian Law and was held without bail when arraigned later before Magistrate Crodsky in Harlem, court. Mrs. Jenkins is said to have told the police her husband threatened to kill her because she was out of work.

Suspended Sentence for Blount's White Attacker A suspended sentence was the penalty the law exacted Friday in General Sessions of Thomas Becker, white, Atlantic City city printer, for shooting Jesse Blount, 625 Lenox avenue, owner of the Lenox Club, last May. A pretty white dancer, Gladys McCarver, 616 West 137th street, who was charged with leading the night club man into a trap, was discharged two weeks ago at the trial. Blount, it was reported, was intimate with the woman and some misunderstanding came between them. He was shot as he stepped from a taxicab with her and the woman immediately fled. Becker was extradited from Atlantic City. After recovering from his wounds, Blount was charged with assault by the woman in Heights Court, but the charges were dismissed. The sentence was suspended upon Becker by Judge Levine.

Cheney to Be Released From Sing Sing Prison on Parole Dr. Perry W. Cheney to Be Released From Sing Sing Prison on Parole Physician Sentenced Following Conviction of Second Degree Assault Which He Asserted Was Committed in Self-Defense From sources The Amsterdam News believes to be authentic, Dr. Perry W. Cheney, whose office was formerly at 200 West 135th street, will be released on parole Friday from Sing Sing prison, where he was committed Oct. 21, 1927, under sentence of not less than one year and a half and not more than three years on a charge of second degree assault upon John Torpey, white, 41 Bradhurst avenue, on Dec. 26, 1926. Dr. Cheney stabbed Torpey dangerously near the heart during an altercation between them, following a collision of their automobiles at 145th street and Eighth avenue. Witnesses declared at the time that Dr. Cheney struck with his knife in self-defense when several white rowdies joined Torpey in assaulting him. Throughout the legal proceedings Dr. Cheney was represented by Attorney Cornelius W. McDougald, 200 Broadway, who repeatedly told the court that witnesses for the complainant had lied in their testimony. To Seek Pardon At the time of Dr. Cheney's commitment the Medical Board of Regents revoked his license to practice medicine. Efforts will be made, it is reported, to obtain a pardon for Dr. Cheney from Governor-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt as soon as he takes office. At the time of the physician's conviction and sentence, Attorney McDougald announced that although his client would be denied his medical license, it might be restored upon proof of extinguishing circumstances. The court was reminded that Dr. Cheney had served as a Lieutenant with the 369th Regiment in the World War. Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, head of the medical corps in the same regiment, and Col. William Taylor, commanding officer of the regiment, testified as character witnesses for Dr. Cheney. Attorney McDougal pleaded for lenency with Judge Allen, the presiding justice in General Sessions who sentenced Dr. Cheney, on the ground not only of his fine character but because Mrs. Cheney and their son Perry Jr., then only six months old, would suffer as a consequence of the father-being sent away. Mrs. Cheney and her son are now living at 103 West 141st street. Although Judge Allen received nearly sixty letters speaking in behalf of the physician, he told the court that he believed the prisoner had lied when he said that he struck out blindly and stabbed Torpey in self-defense.

The arrest of Rutledge followed the arrest of his brother, Jonas, 24, and two other men who were injured when an automobile they were riding in crashed into an "L" pillar at 123d street and Eighth avenue, Friday morning. The automobile, a Nash sedan, was operated by Jonas, when he collided with the "L" pillar. He was found to be under the influence of liquor and operating without a license, the police say, and he was served with summonses for his appearance in the Traffic Court. The automobile, Rutledge told the police, belonged to his mother. Arthur Williams, 23, 340 West 59th street, was charged with violating the Sullivan Law and held by Magistrate. Well in $1,500 ball for a further hearing. The policeman alleges he found a loaded revolver concealed in his sock. Charles Riley, 23, 14 West ninety-ninth street, was found to be wanted by the Parole Commission for violating his parole and was turned over to a parole officer. The three men were treated for cuts and bruises by an ambulance doctor called from Harlem Hospital. The automobile was badly wrecked. Policeman Ulrich was assigned to watch the wrecked automobile. According to the policeman, Theodore Rutledge approached the car and attempted to remove some articles from the auto. He was ordered away and, when he became abusive and threatened the officer, he was arrested. Theodore denied the charge. He said he merely approached the car, when he was abused and threatened by the policeman. When he took the policeman's shield number for the purpose of making a complaint against him, he was arrested, Theodore said. He was found guilty, however, and given a suspended sentence. Coolidge Signs Howard Appropriation Bill WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. The bill amending an act to incorporate Howard University which passed the House during the last session of Congress and passed the Senate last Monday without debate was signed by President Coolidge on Thursday. Senator Trammell of Florida attempted to have the bill rescinded. His motion was overruled by a vote of fifty-five to fourteen. The effect of the legislation will be to remove the possibility of the practice on the part of Democratic representatives to have the item stricken out in the House on a point of order, based upon the fact that there was no law authorizing the appropriation to Howard University as a private institution. The item has always been restored to the Appropriations Bill by the Senate. The pen with which the President signed the bill authorizing future appropriations has been presented to the university as a historical relic, to be preserved in the archives.

C., Dec. 17. J. A. Lankford, an architect, proved before Judge James A. Cobb in the municipal court last Saturday that he would have been awarded the contract for the architectural work of a new First Colored Baptist Church building in southwest Washington but for his refusal to share his commission with the pastor, the Rev. James H. Marshall. Mr. Lankford testified that he had entered into architectural competition and had won the contest in a special church meeting July 9. He was to have been awarded the contract for drawing the plans and supervising the construction. On the "Saturday following the contest, he testified, the Rev. Mr. Marshall called him to his house on a supposed conference regarding the work and asked him for a share of his commission. He refused, he stated, and the pastor made charges against him for the purpose of caus- THREE 3 NAMED ON HOOVER INAUGURAL COMMITTEE --- WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, John R.

The court found that Mr. Lankford's contract with the church had been breached. Attorneys Houston & Houston, representing Mr. Lankford, stated that their client would dismiss the suit if the church would go forward with the work and award him the contract. Judge Gore gave the church until December 22 to make satisfactory arrangements with the architect. If an agreement cannot be reached, he indicated, testimony will be taken concerning the value of the architect's services as a basis for awarding damages against the church. Whites Ashamed of Race Relations, Corbie Memorial Group Is Informed The much discussed American race problem was branded as a ludicrous absurdity and as a source of shame and humiliation for the majority group by two prominent speakers Sunday evening at International House, 500 Riverside drive, in a service honoring the memory of F. Eugene Corbie, young law student, who died in Trinidad, British West Indies, Oct. 3. Facimile of Quarterly Dividend check paid Butchell Joseph INVEST A PORTION OF YOUR EARNINGS IN A RELIABLE GROWING INSTITUTION A Corporation organized to provide through its own securities a medium for the safe and profitable investment of funds and for the accumulation of the wealth of the community for the benefit of the community. FOUR William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, assured the audience, composed of students of a dozen nationalities, that the Negro problem would be solved much easier if children could be educated without the prejudiced influence of their parents. There is nothing instinctive about prejudice, he contended, but the situation in America is an outgrowth of the economic condition of the people of African descent. The speaker questioned the official census figures for the colored population, and declared that "passing" and "crossing over" were responsible for the error. Segregation was protested by the Negro, Mr. Pickens said, because it always imposed the lesser accommodations upon the group not in power. Prof. Harry F. Ward, white, of Union Seminary and president of the American Civil Liberties Union, spoke upon "Economic Justice and the Colored Races." "White people can look with no pride upon their economic dealings with other races," he said. He laid the blame for present friction and injustices upon competitive profit seeking. For the whites, he asserted, there are the alternatives of co-operation or racial struggle. Use of economic resources for all the people should be the dominating motive in business and industry, the speaker said. F. Tredwell Smith, white, chairman of the organizing committee of the Corble memorial, paid tribute to the memory of the late student and orator, who died before completing the study of law at New York University. Credit was given the deceased for struggle for an education and his fight against social and racial injustices. Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezzo-soprano, offered three spirituals, "Doon You Weep," "Deep River" and "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," with arrangements by Harry T. Burleigh. To Establish Memorial The Committee of Friends of Eugene Corbie has launched plans for a memorial to the late student in the form of a section of the International House library filled with books dealing with problems of economic and racial justice. Gifts of money and books from the committee's list will be received by the treasurer, Dr. Camille Kereszturl, 500 Riverside drive. YOUNG PHARMACIST RESIGNS "Y" STAFF Q. R. Hands, assistant boys' physical director of the West 135th street branch of the Y. M. C. A., resigned on December 15 in order to enter his chosen profession of pharmacy. Mr. Hands has been associated with the "Y" since 1919, when he entered as a youngster. Since then he has been an officer in practically every club organized in the junior department, captain of the Y. M. D. for two years and was later brought on the staff as assistant boys' physical director. Mr. Hands has been studying pharmacy at Columbia University for three years and is looking forward to being graduated in June, Dr. Oscar Williams, proprietor of the Williams' Pharmacy of 127th street and Seventh avenue, has created a position for Mr. Hands in his establishment. The officers of the association tendered Mr. Hands a farewell reception on Friday evening. Burned by Blow Torch While working with a blow torch, Charles Cypress, 46, 42 Dillon street, Jamaica, L. I., was badly burned about the hands and face when the torch exploded in a garage at 25 West 144th street. Saturday, Cypress was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he remained. Chief Amoah III Asks Race Unity Says Africa May Yet Have to Save Civilization of World Some day Africa will not only be called upon to save civilization but to give a true interpretation of civilization and a new enlightenment, and brotherhood will become a reality instead of an academic word. This was the pronouncement of Chief Amoah III of the Gold Coast, West Africa, speaking before the St. James Presbyterian Church Forum, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, Sunday afternoon. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the forum, presided. The honor of introducing Chief Amoah fell to Noah D. Thompson, business manager of Opportunity Magazine. Chief Amoah said that his mission here in America and throughout the world is to inform the world of Africa's contribution. "We feed the world with everything that is nice," he said. He also revealed that Africa was first to use herbs for medical purposes, the first to use clothing for mankind and that the first submarine was built in Africa. "If we can bring the West Indian Negro, the American Negro, and all of them to an understanding, a knowledge of their kship and a firm faith in each other, the same instruments that have been used against us for destruction can be used to raise us up again. "I do not ask you to go back to Africa, but to contribute something to her welfare by developing yourselves in all the professions that you may be witnesses for hor. Remain loyal and true as American citizens but aspire to do something for Africa, your mother country." It was in this manner that the Chinese and Japanese, traveling throughout the world and absorbing the knowledge and culture of other countries and returning home and giving benefits to their countries, have gained respect, prestige and power in the eyes of the world, the African dignitary declared. The Negro must do likewise. In regard to religion in Africa, Chief Amoah said, "The worship of God through symbols has been laid aside. The African has come to realize that God is within us, and thus do we worship him." Mrs. Alexander Walters responded to the address of Chief Amoah, concluding her remarks by saying that she would not impose upon the Africans the white man's Christianity, but allow them to develop in their own way. Only Africa has preserved the true spirit and essence of Christianity and with the African the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is a practical doctrine, she said. The Rev. S. L. Parham preceded the chief speaker by an address on Christianity of Jesus" and how it operated to help the man lower down.

Evening Graphic Official Speaks "Discrimination because of religion or color is bad for this or any other country," declared Joseph J. Fisk, white, industrial counselor of the New York Evening Graphic, in an address Friday night at a meeting of the Acme Mutual Taxpayers Liability Insurance Company, at the Association of Trade and Commerce Building, 2370 seven avenue. Moses A. Sachs, white, former Alderman, and Attorney E. A. Johnson also addressed the meeting. "Discrimination is responsible for the sharp trading instinct of the Jews, who were driven together for self-protection, said Mr. Fisk, and the Negro should emulate the Jew. Since the birth of Acme, the first Negro company of its kind in America, other liability insurance companies that scorned Negro business have changed their policy, the speaker said. "The Graphic has done more to help the Negro that many other paper in years," said Mr. Fisk. "and you can depend upon the Graphic to help you." He then urged those present to list their properties with Acme to enable it to obtain the required listing of 400 pieces of property in order to secure a charter. The posting of $50,000 with the State Department, as required by law, would become an easy matter, he said. Junius M. Green, vice-president, introduced Attorney Sachs. introduced Attorney Sachs.

It happened that most of t were doctors—eninent physicians. Conver- turned upon the royal sick man of Europe. WE WERE at a dinner conference in Chicago soon after King George of England fell sick of the lung infection. It happened that most of the dinner guests were doctors—eminent physicians. Conversation naturally turned upon the royal sick man of Europe. "The doctors are going to kill that king," said one of the physicians. And then he, and others, went on to explain clearly what he meant; that the specialists and experts attending his Majesty would give him so much attention and allow him so little of normal, natural, old-fashioned "rest" that, by their pains to help him (or to make a name on him), they would effectively destroy him. One of these physicians then told how he had recently attended a humble citizen, a woman, on whose chances for life he would not have risked 15 cents, inasmuch as, contrary to expert advice, she had refused to be operated on so long that the poison had finally burst out of its encampment and literally flooded the region of her peritoneum, spreading all over the peritoneum. But, since she was not a "royal patient," and not expected to live anyway, he only did the necessary thing: drained away as much of the potson as possible, inserted and left a continuous-drain tube, and told the nurses to let her alone until the next day. Next day, to his astonishment, the woman's temperature was nearly normal. She went on "mending" and got well. The vital Gift That Lasts a Lifetime— E INSURANCE Only $1.00 Per Mo.

O. P., prepared to resist the move to oust him. John C. Suarez, white, has been recommended and accepted for the post, according to O. A. Cotton, white, state leader.

There are 1,300 Negroes registered in the total of 3,100 Republicans. There are only two members of the state committee, however, nine colored men having been ousted when absent from a meeting. Mr. Cohen will take his fight to President-elect Hoover. He was appointed by President Harding. The post has been held by Negroes during all Republican administrations except Tatt's.

This does not mean that doctors are unnecessary, but it does mean that royal patients are likely to have a poor chance against the "royal care" and ostentatious attention which is given them. Who in the world can blame the Prince of Wales from getting a little bit "cold-footed" toward the prospect of becoming "the king". It's bad enough to be "the crown prince." As we write this, King George is not yet dead, and we sincerely hope that he will not die of his present illness. As we have intimated before, we know of no better-behaved citizen in all the British Empire than the king. If he does not die, it looks to us as if it will be largely a triumph of his constitution over his doctors. "Better Teacher Training Is America Greatest Eduational Need at Present GREENSBORO, N. C., Dec. 17 (ANP)—Better teaching the greatest need in American education today, Dr. Edgar W. Knight, white, education authority of the University of North Carolina, declared in an address at A. and T. College before a audience which filled every seat in Dudley Hall and accorded the speaker the very closest attention. Make Me Your Dentist and You Will Be Satisfied COME WHERE YOUR TRADE IS APPRECIATED Dr. Knight's subject was "The Improvement of Teaching" and he stayed closely by it throughout the discourse. He came to Greensboro at the invitation of the Faculty Research Club, but the members of this organization were joined by the teachers in the city schools, extension students and teachers and oth- er make up a very large group of headers. The teacher was presented by President F. D. Bluford. Dr. Knight said that a headlong rush in educational progress has been, what he称称, by a lowering of standards and a denial of the students and other softening tendencies in the educational progress have been observed in elementary, secondary and higher education. In the first named, Dr. Knight noted a reaction against any sort of sustained application or steady drill as imposing on the freedom of the individual. There has arisen a belief that to master knowledge is to crush initiative and to cramp creative ability. Obedience comes to be regarded a positive vice, and the rebellious student is often commended for his self-assertion. These butterfly ideas in education ought to be banished, he declared, and driven back to their creators. Another dangerous softness was noted in the tendency to exalt methods and devices over discipline and sound learning. Dr. Knight then spoke of high school and college methods of to- Krambaiden FREE No Obligation day and examined the factors behind the falling out of a fifth of the freshman class each year and the loss of 50 to 60 per cent. of the students between their first and last years in college. This is due to faculty standards and methods, inability to make adjustment to new environment and imperfect instruction in fundamentals. Education is encumbered by an inertia toward examining the real theories and practices that obtain. The vells and myths should be known aside and the dangers of unsubstantial, half-hearted study made clear. Education. In theory and practices needs a little iron, needs to get of the softness which has crept into the standards of school work. Freedom is a precious thing, but it has to be worked for.

Se Habla Español Bronx Carpenter Battles Nearly 25 Years to Market Inventions The story of a battle of nearly a quarter-century to market two inventions and of a gleam of hope offered by the Cuban Government was recounted here recently by David S. Green, 1472 Brook avenue, Bronx, who has just returned from Havana. Mr. Green is a carpenter and holds patents for a two railway inventions, a mall bag catcher and a sanitary cuspidor, and for a toy which was formerly manufactured in Cincinnati. He was granted his first patent in 1906. The Bronx man has demonstrated his inventions before experts of four governments. He first went the long, weary, expensive rounds with the cuspidor invention. It is signal to be considered in the floor of a car. The receptacle is hidden and a top is opened by a simple device. It is cleaned from the bottom. Refusal of railroad executives to go to any extra expense unless the income is immediately increased, or the company forced to act by law, frustrated his attempts to sell it. Green stated. Dunbar Bank Stock Now Purchasable Has Par Value of $25 May Be Bought for $52 After awaiting indications that his new Harlem enterprise would succeed, John D. Rockefeller Jr. has announced through his agents-officials of the Dunbar National Bank, 150th street and Eighth avenue. The mail bag catcher is designed to safely catch pouches and allow them to be taken safely inside the car while the train is at full speed. The United States does not buy invoices outright, the designer said, and could not accept his device although it was declared to be an improvement over the ones used now. He came from Mexico and France on the same mission. There lack of funds was given by postal authorities. The Mexican government looked upon the mail bag catcher with special favor, he stated, and negotiations may be reopened. Green spent two weeks in Cuba, where he interviewed postal officials. J. A. Hurlativo, director of the Cuban postal system, is reported to have passed favorably upon the device and assured him that it will be given consideration. The inventor was formerly a carpenter contractor in St. Louis and chicago. He can work in New York and has worked as a journeyman since that time. Green is married and has no children. He has not lost the illuminer of his dream to reap comfort from his brachinelength, and plods ruggedly ahead toward some unseen goal. Theatre Bandits Pay Visit to Bronx Movie The box office handouts who have successfully held up and robbed three theatre cashiers in Harlem within a month turned their activities toward the Bronx last Tuesday night when they poked a gun through the cashier's window in routine fashion and took $97 from the box office of the Elmcrest Theatres, 303 Oloe parkway, near Tremont avenue. Miss Esther Olson, 21, white, 1932 Croton parkway, the cashier, was counting the receipts at the time. The robbers missed $200 the manager had just taken to the bank, Miss Olson fainted. The police declare that the bandits answer in every detail of description the trio that staged the sensational robberies upon the Oloe Parkway Theatre. Again the trio escaped in an automobile, this a yellow roadster in place of the gray sedan they used in the two previous hold-ups.

Admirola BLEACH CREAM After awaiting indications that his new Harlem enterprise would succeed, John D. Rockefeller Jr. has announced through his agents—officials of the Dunbar National Bank, 150th street and Eighth avenue—that capital stock in the bank is now available at $52 per share. The par value of the stock is $25. This was made known Monday in an interview with George C. Loomis, white, cashier of the bank, who stated that he did not know what amount of stock Mr. Rockefeller has made available for purchase. The sale price of Mr. Rockefeller is exact. Mr. Rockefeller paid for it, Mr. Loomis said. Purchases may be made at the bank. The bank is capitalized at $500,000 with a surplus of $600,000 and undivided profits amounting to $40,000. This total amount of $1,040,000 is divided into 20,000 shares at $52 per share. Dividends probably will not be paid for at least two years, as new banks soldm even make a profit during the first one or two years. Mr. Loomis pointed out, however, that the new institution is destined to the great success in filling the banking community. The sale of the stock may probably be restricted to citizens of repute. SKULL SPLIT OPEN, WOMAN MAY DIE With her skull split open with an axe and bound hand and foot, Mrs. Tessio Mackey, 32, 30 Beach street, Shrewbury, N. J., was found semiconscious by Patrolman Kirkegard of the Eatontown police early Saturday. She named na, her assailants her husband, John, and a 16-year-old cousin, Belle Whitney. Police and detectives are searching for both. The woman was taken to the Red Bank Hospital, where surgeons said she had small chance of recovery. Before she was taken to that institution she told police that after being attacked she was bound and left on the railroad tracks north of Eatontown, where a freight train was due. She regained consciousness when she rolled off the embankment and into a shallow pond and then staggered into town.

Griffin, of the Clasman avenue station, hung his head in Flatbush Court before Magistrate Steers Sunday morning while Police Capt. Edward S. Walling, of the Grand avenue station, recited the reasons back of his arrest on Saturday night. "This policeman was under the influence of liquor and followed a colored woman to her home at 1089 Dean street and into the hallway," said Walling. "Her brother, Walter Lewis, heard her yell and went to her assistance. She scuffled followed, his gun and fired two shots. Nelter struck anyone. Lewis wrenched the revolver from the policeman's hand. Later, at the station house, this defendant was pronounced unfit for duty by a police surgeon and suspended." Lewis was in court to press a charge of felonious assault against the policeman. As the revolver was in Lewis' hand when the detectives arrived, a technical charge of having possession of a revolver was made against him. It was dismissed by Magistrate Steers. Janitor Sues Judge Lydon for $13,334 Demands From Executor of Employer's Estate Money Due as Salary Cardozo Cardozo, 43, a resident of Colonial Parkway Apartments, 408 Edgecombe avenue, has filed suit for $13,344 against Supreme Court Justice Richard P. Lydon, executor of the estate of the late Mary Ellen McCabe, white, wife of the late Frank McCabe, former "boodle Alderman," who was involved, with others, in the sensational street car franchise cases some years ago. Cardozo contends that funds to the amount of the suit are due him as salary, covering a period of 24 years, during which time he worked for Mrs. McCabe as janitor. He is represented by Attorney McClure Jacques, 5 Columbus Circle. According to Cardozo, he entered the employ of Mrs. McCabe in 1901 at a salary of $18 a month. Mrs. McCabe died in 1925, at which time his salary was $45 a month. In 1902, however, Cardozo said he protested to Mrs. McCabe that his salary was $45 a month. He told him that she would make up the difference by leaving him a sum of money in her will. Upon her death, Mrs. McCabe's will revealed that she had left almost her entire estate of $200,000. Her estate also didzo was not mentioned, it is said.

Through the efforts of his counsel, Philip J. Jones, 219 Bridge street, Brooklyn, Walker was acquitted Thursday in Special Sessions Court of Brooklyn by Judges Dorano, Murphy and Kernochan.

The theatre had actually been robbed the day before, however. The District Attorney offered a fingerprint record to show that Walker was a fourth offender. Attorney Jones objected to the record on foundation and not because of the evidence of such evidence and that the said record did not apply to his client. His objection was sustained.

British Wrangling Over African State One Governor Would Have Native Rule, Other Vows Opposite LONDON, Dec. 10. — British statesmen today stood with horns locked in debate over whether East Africa is to be a country primarily for the white or black man. Reports here tell of the dispute between governors of Kenya colony and Tanganyika as to the future of the former German possessions. The administrator of the former German possessions, Sir Donald Cameron, is in favor of having Tanganyika as a land in which the natives are favored, with only British supervival. Such an outcome is inevitable, he contends. The administrator would base his state on the present tribal laws, adding British law only where necessary and giving the natives a chance to rule their own country. Sir Edward Grigg, governor of Kenya, avers that his country will continue to be ruled according to the dictates of the white man and with all means toward that end. The climate is cool, he says, and suited to the white man. The natives will be given reserves like the Indians in America, according to his plan. Contentions have come as a result of the desire of the British to unite the holdings in East Africa. The opposing ideas of the rulers have held up the report of the commission on federation. Both governors will come here early next month to wrangle oer the problem with the Colonial Office. Political federation, it is feared, may not make any headway at all. Instead the colonies of East Africa may simply get a new commercial program which will entail extensive transportation. Railroadording to transportation, the committee, will be impossible and the problem is to provide motor transports with suitable fuel obtainable in the colonies.

Phone: 212-663-6634 Phone Edgecombe, MA NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1928 Christmas HOUSEWINE EXCHANGE There is a certain atmosphere about the gayest feast day of the year that tinges every event, however trivial, with ceremony, and busy as we are with housekeeping and all manner of extra detail, we turn always, with renewed zest to the planning of menus for Christmas day. The problem is how to place upon our Christmas board a festive array of food that will not make too great demand upon a budget already situated by the enthusiasts of the season and to take this in such a way that we ourselves may have ample opportunity to enjoy the day with the rest of the Christmas group. Too many of us are so fagged at the end of the day that we have little energy left for the rest of the holiday festivities. I am hoping the windows were washed no later than the day the captains and draperies are ready up immediately. Surely your Christmas shopping was completed last week. Your cards are back from the engravers, addressed, stamped and ready to be posted. With these important things out of the way, the housewife will be the latter part of the day to the end of the Christmas day program. The best way to insure yourself a merry Christmas is to take time several days before Christmas to do some careful planning. Arrange a definite schedule, which will reduce to a minimum the amount of work left to be done Christmas day. Christmas morning breakfast requires almost as much thought as the dinner. There are gifts to stockings to examine and it is later that the entire family goes into the living room. This menu should be simple and easily prepared. Try it, remembering to prepare the fruit juice the night before.

Christmas Breakfast Unified Orange Juice Corned Beef Hash with Poached Egg Tonat Marmalade Cranberry Sauce I regret that cannot answer in individually the fourteen readers who have written me for a recipe for cranberry sauce. One writer explains she made it for five years and it has never congealed. Try the following recipe and I think you will have firm sauce that should be cut with a knife when chilled. Pick over one quart of cranberry carefully. Place them in a colander, wash in cold water and drain. Place them in a saucepan two cupfuls of sugar and two cupfuls of water and bring slowly to a boil, stirring constantly, until all sugar is dissolved. Boll from five to ten minutes until the thin shim is formed. Add the crust to the batter and simmer gently until the batter is transparent. The berries may be left whole and turned into a dish, washed in cold water and not mixed. The other hand, take them through the fininer and have a good, clear sauce. Plum Pudding. A plum pudding, full of fruit and decorated for serving, makes a lovely note in the Christmas diner. Whatever else we feel can be omitted from the Christmas table, the plum pudding is a prime necessity. There is the very rich plum pudding, full of fruit and spices, which will keep for a long time and can be eaten only a little at a time. Then there are the more simple dings. It must be remembered that these puddings have a very high value and should be counted as a measure of the meal. The molds for the pudding must be well greased so that the dings will slip out easily. Serve with hot. Do not lift the cover until the end of the steaming period as the pudding may fall and become soggy. Mix together one cupful soft bread crumbs, one cupful each finely chopped suet and apples, three-fourths cupful brown sugar, one cupful raisins, one-half cupful each chopped dates and figs, one-half cupful chopped walnuts, and one-half cupful sliced walnuts. Mix and gift one-half cupful flour, one-half teaspoonful each nutmeg, cinnamon and salt and two teaspoonfuls baking powder.

May Santa Claus send all the good luck to upright young men; may he send all the good boys true and loyal young women! Me he fill your stocking with enough peace, love, hope and happiness to last until Christmas comes again. Merry, yuletide Yuletide! Dear Egyptay Ann: I have read your good advice for a long time, but I never had a problem of my own until now, and gee, it's a problem, too! I am 17 and have been keeping company with a young man of 19 for a year and a half. Now I have discovered that he has been going with another girl for some time. He has been dividing his time equally between us. Well, I was furious. One day when I chanced to meet them on the street, stopped them and asked him if it was him. He was going out with this girl. He did it was. So I told him that he'd have to choose right there and then between her and me. At first he didn't answer, then he said, "Well, if it's a tosup-between the two of you, and you must have a plain answer, you may consider yourself out of the game." Well, Egyptys Ann, I was some mad! You see! I really loved him and we were practically engaged. Should I try to get him back again? I don't believe he really loves this but answered the way he did because he didn't like my asking him to choose between us. I meet him nearly every day, as we live in the same city. We often speak to each other and it's breaking my heart. Please advise me. BABY LU. Dear Baby Lu: As I see you, it's asked your ex- young man to make a choice and he has compiled with your request. You didn't display good judgment in asking him such a pointed question before the other girl, and therefore you have to suffer the consequence. Did you pretended indifference, you would have been more successful. He doesn't strike me as being a desirable type anyhow. He wasn't true to you and that ought to kill most of your love for him. He doesn't know his own mind most likely. I's very young for a man. He has disillusioned you and there's nothing left for you to do without your dismissal. Pretend indifference and get yourself other boy friends. Jealousy on his part may make him want you back. EGYPSY. Looking Your Best FIRST of all, I'm going to wish you all a very merry Christmas.

(Advt.) --- Best Sport Pages in Greater New York EIGHT RENS IN XMAS NIGHT GAME Crack Trentons to Face Douglas Men Here December 25 RUSSIAN 5 BEATEN Next Sunday Night Local Team Will Hook Up With the Hudsons (By FRANCIS.) The Renafssance Five secured their eleventh consecutive victory on their home court last Sunday night, which was the last of the Young Men's Russian Club Five by the score of 46 to 28. The Passale ball-tossers stormed the Casino with two bus loads of rooters to cheer them on, but the champions gave very little chance to air their lungs. Manager Douglas sent in Ricks and Slocum as forwards, Sanders at center, and Mayers and Satch as guards, giving it to Jenkins a rest. He stood up from the spot and started in their deadly work and, almost before one could look around, had secured six points, through the rapid-fire work of Mayers, Satch experienced the same moment as the teams getting near their basket for a shot and, while they were fast and shifty, the celebrated, air-tight defense of the champions was a challenge, and, try, might, they could not solve it. Finding it almost impossible to draw up under their basket, the visitors resorted to long shots, and were able to drop in a few, together to score points to the Renaissance 20 as the whistle blew ending the first half. The second half was a repetition of the first—the same impenetrable defense, plus lighting-like passes the players through, the visitors again accounting for another 14 points, while the Renaissance were adding 26 to their first-half total. Mayers, with six floor baskets, led both teams, with 12 points, and was closely followed by Sanders, Richie and Salzach, each with 10 points. Halsor and La Milla led the scoring for the visitors, with 9 points each. It was announced that on Christmas night the Trenton Club of the Tampa Bay Jaguars be the guest of the Reissurance. Every man on the team is over six feet tall and. If size counts for any sport, basketball, it should be a great game. Next Sunday night the Hudson Club of Hudson, N. Y., and of the New York State League will be the liminary game. The preliminary game will bring together the Metro-Diamonds and the St. Ambrose Club. The primary last Sunday night the Monitors triumphed over the Scholastics by the score of 27 to 25. Both clubs are members of the Eastern Colored Basketball league contesting for the Dodolph Memorial Trophy, presented to the league by Manager Douglas of the champion Renaissance team.

BORDENTOWN IN DOUBLE VICTORY Boys' and Girls' Team in Triumph Over Their Opponents BORDENTOWN, N. J., Dec. 15.—A double win opened the basketball season in auspicious style for the Bordentown School when the girls' jumpers over the teams of Dagmar jumped over Philadelphia on the Jersey school's home court tonight. The Dagmar co-eds fell before the Ironside Las Vegas game, and the citing game of thrilling ruffles and beautiful shots. Marble Leach and Notree Leonard starred for Bordentown, while Dot Lewis and Anna Cockrum played in the boys' game, which followed immediately after, the Jersey school-boys set such a pace that Dagmar was never in the running. The team was able to use it and used it to advantage, alternating long overhead passes with short criss-crosses that kept their opponents bewildered. Stretch Russ led the team in three foul shots, totalling twenty-one of his team's forty-five counters. Midget Hamilton followed with a high score of thirteen. For the Philadelphia center, succeeded in eluding the home boys, and he rang up four goals for eight points.

It was a battle all of the way, with both boys freely exchanging blows in every round and the hardest judges failing to pick a winner at Saturday. Dundee, a good two-fisted fighter, started slugging right at the start and later in the fight jarred Lee several times with left hooks to the face, the forearm and lower well endowed with speed and clawness, used a left jab to good effect and landed more than one. hard right to the jaw. The juggler one of the best fights of his career and put a spoon in the wheel of plans which started turning for Dundee. Lee was not at the peak of good condition, which among the best boys of his weight. The Baltimore boy, like his more famous brother, is rugged and the hardest to fight. In the final round he tote to toe, shooting punches at each other. The crowd cheered loudly as the boys went up, their corner after the art of selfless for Knapp and earned the honors in the majority of the rounds.

Salem-Crescent Basketers Defeat the Anoroc Five The Orange and Black standard bearers have increased their total of consecutive victories to eight. The Salem basketeers defeated the Anoroc's oultet, from Long Island and City, on Wednesday. December 12, by the count of 34 to 11, the ending of the first half being 6 to 18 in Salem's favor. The next period the Crescents unleashed an attack like a whirlwind, which lasted to the end of the game. J. Licorish, captain: P. Graves and H. Warren were the high scorers for the victors, placing 10, 10 and 8 points, respectively. O. Little, R. III, L. Panfield and A. Smith played a good defense game. On Monday evening, previous to the Anorax battle, the Seleucid bastlekeepers defeated the Acme Five by the score of 88 in 7. BUFFS STOPPED WEDNESDAY The Original New York Collegians. State amateur champions, are still supreme in their class among the alumnae of the college, the trifect, for on Wednesday night last, at the Renaissance Casino, they met their leading rivals, the Original Buffaloes, the "Wonder Team," as their sweaters read, and gave them a drubbing by the score of 53 to 28. The Buffaloes, strengthened by the addition of several players and a recent victory over the St. Christopher, looked upon as a real threat to the supremacy of the Collegians, but their offensive proved a dud. A good sized crowd turned out to see the boys battle and interest was laid upon by the players lined up for the opening whale. The supporters of the Buffaloes were in a frenzy when they jumped off into a good sized lead by clever passing and accurate shooting, while the team was in action and lacked the fire and dash that usually characterizes their play. The Buffalo guitet, functioning with two hands and confidence, soon won into a lead of 12 and the Collegians made a spurt, and by hard work pulled up on their rivals to end the first half 18 to 22 against them. When the second half started it was a different Collegian team that lacked the Buffaloes; everything they lacked in the first half they had in this frame, plus, and they had down a barrage of baskets that fairly supported their off-duty team. They registered 21 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half before the Buffaloes could get a single point. We completely routed the Buffs, who were never able to get going again. Joe Steele, Johnny Hott, Joe Mills and "Brick Top" Wright were all heavy scores for the champions, but Romney played the most wonderful game of the team one floor score, clever passing and generalship, and it was he who led the second half assault on the Buffaloes. "Jimmy" V. Carter and Carey were leading scorers for the Buffalo, but the work of the Carters stood out. Referee "Dutch" Huthwoud contributed one of his worst endeavors as a basketball atruder during this game and while it might not have changed the results it marred the contest. The presence of a number of police department plainclothes men in one hall at the call of one one was against that element among the supporters of whose behavior, it allowed to prevail, would kill the effort that is now being made to again interest fans in the game for the game's sake. He triggers both teams will take steps to correct this evil. The "Y" Cardinals defended the St. Christopher Arrows in the pre- liminary game by the score of 33 to 24. The score: COLLEGIANS.

TUXEDO TIGERS STILL TO FORE TUXEDO TIGERS STILL TO FORE Gil Jones and Cap Johnson Will Appear in Tuxedo Lineup New Jersey basketball fans are satisfied at inst that they have a real first-class combination of playoffs and a strong state. With the Tuxedo Tigers taking five games in a row and from some of the best teams on the courts, they are capable of putting New Jersey back on the basketball map. "Mars" Hill led the Tigers into the Bears' cave and completed rout them 44 to 31. This is the second time Jesse Miles in the past week. The close score doesn't begin to tell how easily the Tigers romped away with their old rivals. After the point, the lead boys from East Orange point lead the boys throughout the last quarter. The accurate shooting of Work and Jordan, who were the highest scores, were the high spots in the game. They also into a regular scoring machine as well as a powerful pair of guards, Payne, captain of the Tigers, and Lincoln gil little shooting, but staged an exhibition of passing and floor kicks in the courts this season. Archer, the lanky center, collected five field goals and two free throws for a total of twelve points. The group has been strengthened by the enrollment of Gill Jones and Cap. Johnson. These two athletes need no introduction to the sport world. They made history with the East Orange High School team that dropped kick of forty yards won the Thanksgiving annual classic be between his school and Barringer High of Newark, N. J. This was the first victory the local school has won over their rivals in seven years. The school was also a member of the high school team and was rated as a valuable player. His performance is over the hurdles. With these two brilliant stars the Tuxedo fans believe they are roofting for the best team in the East. Maroon and Edison Soccer Teams Battle to a Draw The Maroon Soccer Club played the Brooklyn Edison team last Sunday at Jefferson Field in Brooklyn for the league game. The contest was a team-based game, teams using every science of the game to score. Owing to the stone wall defense of the Maroons the Edison team was unable to get with the team, so the game ending in a scissors draw. The outstanding players of the game were Captain Burnett and Joanie DeCosta. Captain Burnett is a veteran of the soccer game having represented Trinidad as an inter-colonial full-back. The manager of the Maroon Club is the world war veteran of the King's Royal Rifles Regiment. The Johnson Big Five went to Boston Friday last and defeated the fast Highland Big Five to the tune at half time. The basketball game were leading 14-8, in the second half the uncanny shooting of Williams, the elongated center of the team, the "Pop" Johnson and L. Johnson overcame this handicap and paved the way to victory in the last fifteen seconds of play. It would appear the case of too much Johnson, Wot? ROCKLANDS SET FOR BELMONTS Nip and Tuck Affair Promised When These Teams Meet New Year's GIRLS ON CARD Stage Set for Big Night at Rockland Palace When Court Men Meet If the enthusiasm which Roy Pride is putting into the staging of the games at Rockland Palace, formerly the Manhattan Casino, New Year's night counts for anything a bumper house should be on hand when the Rockland Big Five take the court to face the Belmont Park Five, said to be one of the best aggregations of basketball players in the East. To add to the evening's attraction arrangements have also been completed which will bring together the famous Washington Girls from Birds. While girl basketball games have not served to entice the thousands which came out in the days when the famous Washington Girls troted to championship for five years, the teams meeting at Rockland Palace the first night of the year have put in youman service in keeping up the years and have won a following. Those lovers of the game reading these columns weekly have at least a fair idea of the relative merits of only paper which has reasonably carried the accounts of the activities of the young ladies still seeking name and fame in one of the faithful pastimes of the present day. The evening's star attraction between the Belemnons and the Rocklands should be of unusual interest the boys on the Rockland Palace appeared in some of the best games here in the past as members of other winning combinations. The Belemnons are asked to have compiled the victories in as many starks. The roster of the Rockland five include such well-known players as "Six" by Mond, "Hop" by Hubbard, "Hip" by Carter Wardel and "Specks" Moton. If for nothing else than the glory of the game, which had its setting in the gymnasium when Gecham took its basketball seriously, a large array of "fans" should be on hand for the big doings. Manager Pride has made perseverance keep together a good team, which is laudable enough to warrant some support at the hands of the fans. The S. S. Y. C.

We also taught course, we have reference to the amu- ter the ball of among the young- sters. The fast-gong Collegians met the fast-gong buffaloes, and it was a hundering for a while. The Buffaloes, early in the game, gave promise of stopping the cham- 脾 but lack of leadership was evi- dent when they thought they had the game sewed up. Why change the lineup of a winning combination unless time or an unusually large score warrants it? This is just what the Buffaloes did when they were away to a good lead in the first half. They left the court with a four-point lead, but forgot they were up against a seasoned combination, which proved it from the start of the second half. The Collegians rolled up enough baskets in the first ten minutes of play to show the Buffons that headwork plays a prominent part in basketball as much as any other line of sport, and the Collegians took the game while romping home on the bit. It is only the experienced follower of the game who will appreciate the wonderful battle which Canada Lee launched against Vince Dundee at the Olympia Sport Club last September, when he carries the earmasks of a fighter with a heart and one whom the ring owes much, if he would but take care of himself OUTSIDE THE RING. A hurricane fighter, with a sensational record as an amateur, Lee went into the professional game and made good. His very style in action is that of a real fighter and, but for the fact that he has paid heed to the good of the experience in the arena, it would have been all over with him last Saturday night. The colored boy staged one of the headiest battles that any fighter has ever been called upon to stage, for Dundie, though young as we measure it in fistham, is one of the best men of his weight disporting within the hemp today. Lee was right of therait, but Dundee was in far better condition than Lee and it was this which won for the white boy. If Dundee will take himself seriously when not fighting and set himself a real at which to shoot, we helve he would eventually come out on top. This paper has been the only one in Harlem to call attention to his worth and the promise he gave as an amateur. Smith Needs the Experience DESPIE THE wonderful record which Harry Smith has piled up since he gave up the amateurs we must hold to assert that Harry has not as yet started to garner that experience so necessary for his future welfare. True, he wins his fights, but lack of that impressive something will have a tendency to keep him knocking at the door of real opportunity. Smith has the punch, he has the heart and he has the willingness, but Harry misses to catch when the fight comes to him. When bound away from danger he takes himself too far away from the zons of activity, which precludes those counters which would mean so much to him. Careful schooling at the hands of Dave Brown will do much to develop the potentialities of one of the finest youngsters that ever entered the game. THE silence of Philadelphia was disturbed last week when our good friend Mr. Bolden sent forth a feeler watch, at the same time, announced a meeting for this week of the baseball moguls in the "City of Brotherly Love." The leader of the Eastern Baseball League on a working basis, but if we are to judge from past performances it will see how such a combination will be able to operate unless some of the men with a fist in baseball should change their attitude. If Messrs. Keenan and Strong should decide to bury the hatchet, possibly an eastern league of baseball would become a possibility; but Mr. Strong, we dare to presume, has already laid his plans for the coming summer, and those plans center around the Big Ten. Strong, Perhaps, if we had the open space large enough in the heart of old Harlem to accommodate the crowds, something would result from the efforts of the gentlemen still dreaming of a league: but the urge is not here among the brothers of Sundown hue for a league patterned some extent on that of big-time WE wonder what has become of the desert son who rumped home ahead of the recent Olympic Games and came to America at the suggestion of one board? We were hoping that the desert laying claim to race relationship the son of the shifting sands would induce him to come to this part of Islam while the laurels were still resting lightly on his heated brow. As we pointed out from the start, FF said "did not belong" and he has simply been the place which we knew had been reserved for him. Note the difference in the case of Lionel Dearish. There we talked about the almost silent Lionel, and every time we turned around we found him smilingly greeting us at PHILADELPHIA AROUSED BY COMMANDEURS Faggen Seeking Franchise for Western Team COMMANDEURS IN TWO GAMES COMMANDEURS IN TWO GAMES Phila. Team Trying to Develop Center to Strengthen the Outfit The Commandeurs basketball management has called a special practice session for three nights this week at the Y. M. C. A. court to get the men on edge for their two big games at the Waltz Dream Hall, Friday night. Last week the Commandeurs were defended in an extra five minute period by the Original Philadelphia Flashes Five and the management has been disappointed in the extreme by the work of the Commandeurs team. It felt that the club should have won both games they lost this season and efforts will be made this week to develop a real center, the only weak link in the team. Al Bronston, crack halfback on the championship West Philadelphia team, will return to the Commandeurs squad as a center candidate. Bronston is one of the heaviest men on the squad and is a great defensive player and an accurate shot. Bronston has not played any games in the last two good condition, having completely recovered from an injury to his arm which kept him out of the last two football games his high school played this season. On Friday the Commandeurs will face the Original Memphis Five and the C. C. C. Commandeurs, an amateur champions. While the Memphis game is not expected to be so very difficult, the Brisol Club will put up a hard fight and from present indications they will have a fine team. The Commandeurs have taken North Philly folks by storm and Chick Edwards, the club pilot, is booking the strongest teams in the country for the uptown hall. The Commandeurs will play the Dagmar Five at the Y. W. C. A. This is bound to be one of the most bitterly fought games of the season, as Dagmar is the Commandeurs' greatest rival in Philadelphia. This game will be played on a neutral floor by request. If the Alpha Phi Alpha basketball team of Wilberforce University comes East, the Commandeurs will play them in Philadelphia on Jan. 1. At least, that is Edwards' intention. On Jan. 3 the Commandeurs will visit the National Capital, where the Carlisle Club, with one of their strongest teams in years, is planning a hot time for them.

(A. N. P.)—Though some of his friends are trying to laugh him out of what he taught them, he the daring charge d'affaires of the Savoy Bailroom in this city, is determined to stick to his notion of getting American League recognition, he declares, is a basketball team with a real future in front of it. Plainly, Faggen thinks his team is good enough to represent the great Chicago in the American League. "I don't care if the boys are colored," protests the ballroom owner. "The big point is that Chicago, as the team, is not going to be represented by a good basketball team. She has been training ever since the pro game was started. All the other teams of the league come to Chicago to take a game, and they will build our team, the Bruins, up, and yet the report after each game is the same—the Bruins tried hard, but they lost. If they just lost one or two games, would not be so bad, and the team has been losing ever since they started. "It's now time to make some sort of a change. My Savoy Big Five played the Bruins last year when he beat Bruins to a 29-21 score. Last Monday night we met them and beat them, 29-21. I want you to know that that was no fluke. In the week and if we haven't got absolutely the best team in Chicago, somebody can make me go ragged. The best team Chicago can get up should represent matter, matter what color the players are." The Savoy manager was informed that the famed Rennsance team of New York had beaten the Bruins in four victories were regarded as necessary courtesies between two teams with a large following. But he would not about Savoy's victories. He believes his team can beat the Rens and says that he has done all he could to get the Harlem combination to come West, but declines they want to play by making orbital demands. The Savoy main line of defense is composed of Rock Anderson and Jake Fisher in center, and Spes Moten and Inman Jackson at guard.

Workers' Party and Federation of Women Lend Aid to Rent Fighters Two hundred members of the Harlem Tenants' League voted to not pay any rent increases January 1, as demanded by numerous landlords, at a mass meeting of protest Monday night in the auditorium of the 135th street branch of the Public Library, 103 West 135th street. The renters were backed in their decision by the pledges of aid of the Workers' Party, District No. 2, and the New York Federation of Working Women TEN Richard B. Moore, president of the borgue, which maintains offices at 169 West 133d street, acted as chairman at the meeting and denounced the proposed increases, which threaten to make living conditions more serious. He branded the预案 as gouging tacities designed to deny renters the decencies of life. A less radical and yet desolate picture was painted by Arthur C. Holder, white architect, who elaborately detailed the revised Emperor's landlordation was dictated by the landlords and real estate operators, he charged. Present high rents were not directly attributed to greediness by the architect. Land values have become inflated because apartment buildings have been built higher than the buildings around them. Mr. Holden portrayed many of the landlords as bewildered beings, who were stuck with high-priced lands and saw gougling the tenants and others. This has led to the abuses of subdivided suites, dark rooms and lack of air and privacy for the poorer people, he said. The Paul Lawrence Dunbar Apartments, built by the backfeelers, have here lived as a sample of properly built dwelling quarters, which do not infinate land values by their excessive height. The simple view of the tenants was voiced by Miss Juliet Stuart Pornyz, white, president of the Women's Organization, Women, who pledged support of her organization to the tenants. She urged complete organization and blank refusal to pay a penny more. A demonstration sufficiently large will cause a more equitable revision of present rent laws, she asserted. The tenants will hold another meeting at the 135th street auditorium January 31.

Mississippi Jury Frees P. Howard (Continued from Page 1) James W. Cassity, white, was at torney for the defense. Witness. Disbelieved The chief Government witness, Anselm P. Dussell, white, former United States Marshal, swore he paid the defendants $2,000 for that office, $1,500 of which was given Howard in the latter's office in Washington. His brother, A. S. Russell, supported his testimony. "I did not receive one penny from Mr. Russell in Washington or anywhere else," was Howard's assertion. Jurors said they not only did not believe the Russells, but they believed the Howard and the other indicted politician had reasonably good to them. They did not have much respect for informers, anyway, the jurors added. A. P. Russell somehow escaped indictment when he waived immunity when taken before the Grand Jury in Miss., by Mabel Willebrand, special assistant to the Attorney-General. Mrs. Willebrandt went to Washington last July specifically for the purpose of securing Howard's indictment in defense of "white superiority." Howard was then suspended from his office of assistant to Attorney-General Sargent. In telling of how he got the United States Marshalship, Russell stated that he borrowed $2,000 from Scott Hubbard, his neighbor, with which to purchase the office. Hubbard was indicted jointly with Howard and theless. Judy Holmes told the jury that Howard could not be convicted of taking $1,500 in Washington, as Russell claimed, unless the jury be believed from the evidence that Howard had knowledge of conspiracy to violate the patronage act. Indictment Reduced Negro Votes Following the attempt to oust Howard, the Republican National Committee recognized the "Lily-White" faction of the Republican Party in this State, and put Lamont Rowlands, white, millionaire south Mississippi lumberman, in charge of the Hoover campaign. The reorganization, in favor of the qualified Negro voters remained away from the polls in resentment over the indictment of Howard. Rowlands and his associates only captured 27,000 votes. In his effort to impeach Russell, Attorney Cassidy pointed out that Russell had asked his neighbor, Hubbard, and Gus Woodcock, white, balliff of the Grand Jurry at Bloxell, help frame those Negroes Russell had accused of cock and Hubbard were summoned as defense witnesses. Hubbard had served as one of Russell's deputies. Throughout the trial Howard's attitude was that of a witness having nothing whatever to conceal. He was well-poised, frank, straight forward and good-humored through utter confidence. By Leester G. Pint, white Assistant District Attorney for the Northern Mississippi District. "Lily Whites" Defeated One result of the verdict will be that the "Jelly Whites," led by Rowlands, U. S. Gordon, Charles Sheldon and L. O. Crosby, will fail in their effort to oust Howard as Republican National Committeeman. Howard has no intention of resigning and there is no possible way of bringing about his removal. Whether or not Attorney-General Segent will relinquish Howard as his disloyalty seems to be seen, Other indictments are pending, but it is generally believed the Department of Justice picked its strongest case, and that all further efforts to convict them will be futile. LONDON ADOPTS DIXIE TUNES AS YULE MUSIC A London dispatch to the New York Times reports that Negro music accompanied by a broad Dixie brogue is making serious inroads upon England's custom of hearing old-time carols at the Yule-tide. The air is rodentel, the story goes, with singing of old cotton fields and corn patches, who actors seek to improve their dialect. Credit for the innovation is given a musical show, presumably "Showbands and Folk Groups" hit in "Ole Man River," of the most popular tunes embraced by the Britishers. "Just Give the Southland to Me" and "Roll Away, Clouds," also of the same show, are increasing in popularity. Stranger Than Fiction While Patrolman Cohen was on duty at the switchboard at the Sixteenth precinct Sunday night, a woman telephoned him to send a policeman to her home with two quarters for her gas meter.

He valiantly sought to prove that Mrs. Sequira been shunted into the part of the woman when failure to convict either of the trio seemed imminent last March. The three were arrested December 18, 1927, when Mrs. Downs returned to the theatre that evening and discovered 130 old and unnumbered tickets in the box into which the admission cards are dropped. Flossie Burney was ticket-taker. The theatre official later had a conference with Mrs. Sequira in the four rooms at the Hotel Weylin, where she is said to have confessed adding Snyder to sell old tickets for six years. Julius Reid, who lived at the same address as Mrs. Sequira and is said to be her sweetheart, testified that the woman made no confession. Apparently fearing that her case was lost while proceedings were pending, Mrs. Downs had Mrs. Sequira arrested on March 2 on a warrant signed by Chief Marcus McAdoo. Detective Klein is said to have her through a terrific grilling in order to force a confession. None came, however. The court was told that Mrs. Sequira was arrested to weaken her and a suit for $5,000 instituted by Snyder Downs. She had promised to testify the theatre manager at the same time. It was brought out Friday in Special Sessions. Justices Nolan, Caldwell and Fetherston heard the cashier testify that she received a salary of only $15,000 for her services as ticket seller.

The Night Address N AVE., het, 38th and 59th Mts. 23 Years Blackfaced White to Portray Negro Hero in Metropolitan Jazz Opera New York will see an opera in which a Negro character is the hero late next month, but that leading gentleman (in love with a white girl) will be a Caucasian, whose features are hidden beneath a coat of burnt cork or a mask, it was announced Monday at the Metropolitan Opera House, Thirty-ninth street and Broadway. Upholstery & SLIP COVER SALE The opera is "Jonny Splelt AuT" a jazz serio-comic piece by Ernest Krenek, Austrian composer. The libretto is in German. Last year and early this year "Jonny Splelt AuT" was presented by the principal cities of Central Europe. It caused a demonstration which threatened to be serious in Vienna early this year, because students objected to the lines in which the hero declared all white women capitulated to him. Josephine Baker, former-Harlem chorus girl, who arrived there soon after the presentation, was subjected to considerable annoyance because of racial feeling stirred by the place, foreign reports asserted. Jonny is a young American jazz maestro of color, who has conquered Europe with his syncopated music. There, he learns, white male are not the only color prejudice. He pays court to a beautiful white opera singer and has, a composer and a violin virtuoso, both white, as his rivals for the hand of the maiden. Unfortunately for the Jazz director, he falls beneath a train in the last act and is killed. Aboard are the girl and the composer, eloping to America. The station clock magically becomes a huge globe upon which Jenny is perched, pouring out a symphony of jazz from his band and the world to join in. The opera ninkes site of numerous mechanical sounds-born of modern times and of a band offering music reminiscent of W. C. Handy, rather than Verdi and Wagner. A radio loudspeaker is even exhibited on the stage blaring forth Jonny's raucous tunes. The exact date and cast have not yet been completed, the Metropolitan announced, but New York may look for Jonny with burnt cork complexion and similar artificial ones upon his carpool and clarinet players. for stealing a taxicab belonging to Ivan Cary, 2027 Madison avenue.

DIXON Douglas Society Sponsors Concert The Douglas Society, an organization comprised of Negro students attending the College of the City of New York, gave what they termed "a grand musical concert" in the College Great Hall last Friday evening. Dr. Silvers, who was one of Dr. McCormack's advisors, acted chairman, stated emphatically that the purpose of the society was to further Negro achievements through the presentation of the best Negro talent possible. The writer feels loath to state that, although the aims of the society are to be highly encouraged, the concert brought out the distasteful fact that the musical profession is thoroughly overrated. Except in cases, the Douglas Society should procure talent of a more efficient and worthy recognition in the Negro art field for its next "grand musical concert." Tenors Give Joint Recital at Imperial Signor Leon Du La Platte, Italian dramatic tenor, formerly connected with the Monte Bello Opera Company in Italy, appeared in recital at Imperial Auditorium on Sunday afternoon. He was assisted by Joseph McDonald Hayes, lyric tenor. The singers were presented courtesy of the Young Men's Civic League. The joint program was of a versified order. Mr. Hayes sang works of a general lighter vein, which did not make any great artistic demands on his musical skill as a purely lyric tenor, while Signor Du La Platte showed marked indications of a taste on material used in his more musical use. Such was evident in the choice of one of Puccini's operatic numbers from Tosca. Beatrice Wade and her Florantine Troupe (broadcasting artists), appeared at Liberty Hall, 138th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, last Friday evening. The assisting artists were Ralph De Mund, Gilford Weldon, Moses Felix, Edgar L. Baynard, Gullidle Barber. Marlan Anderson. Philadelphia controllo, who recently returned from Europe, will give her first retrial in the city this season at Carnegie Hall on Sunday evening, Dec. 30. She will be assisted by William L. King at the piano. A splendid audience, including some Fiskites, trailed Merritt Hedgman, tenor, on last Wednesday evening from Mother A. M. E.Zlouon Church, 125th street and Seventh avenue, to hear him in recital. The concert was to have been given a week prior, but had to be postponed because of illness and death. It was subsequently transferred to the latter auditorium. He chose only well-known works from Caldara, Glordani, Carissimil, Purcell, Bibb, Rogers, Massenet, Rachmannoff, Speaks, and spirituals by Burleigh, Fisher and Work, but he should be compilated for having given a full-fledged program rather than for the custom or far too many vocalists in presenting just a few songs. He possesses an extraordinarily beautiful vocal organ. Future years of development will enable him to interpret with more maturity and to regard the climax in a song as a vital element in making his renditions more ejective, and also to improve his tone, which he Heyes, who appears to his inspiration, has mastered to well. A tendency toward intervocalization and the cramping of the vowel "e" will, of course, be corrected much sooner. It is, however, not too much to say that, of all the young Negro tenors, Mr. Hedgman probably shows more promise in becoming a notable musical figure than anyone who has come to our attention within recent years. And we, fore, congregate Flik University, and music department he halts, and wish for him a success similar to his great predecessor, Roland Heyes. H. C. Griffith was at the piano.— Carl Dilton.

Careers for Women. Although this article applies primarily to women, the masculine sex will also find some food for thought in it. In this day of independence and freedom, woman has become a mighty factor in the world of business. She has taken her place by the side of men and is keeping in step. The old theory of the superior intelligence of the males over the female has been exploded and new fields of work have opened up for women, which, heretofore, have been monopolized by men. The increasing economic pressure has also played a large part in furnishing the "drive" which is forcing women into competition with men. Just how might a woman determine what her job is? First, the beginning position should be viewed as a means to an end. It is the first step up the ladder of success. This first step is the most important. On the right choice of a job rests your future success, both socially and financially. You should first decide whether the job is suited to your interests and abilities. To ascertain your interests and abilities analyze yourself and also analyze the job. If the two agree, you are safe in entering this field. Second, be sure the job is not a "blind alley." By that I mean do not ever any process in which the advancement of profession are clearly outlined or defined. It is the "blind alley" job with no advancement that is the cause of people getting into a rut. They do the same thing day after day, year after year. Advancement, there is no incentive for further preparation or study. Consequently, the brain becomes dull and sluggish. It is the hope for the next higher position that makes you more successful times and keeps the lines that blich our wagon to a star in good shape. After you have begin your work, do not let it become tired, sore and wary. Wear a shirt that "all beginnings are hard" and this feeling is probably due to the strain of the job. The forming of good business and professional contacts is good: it is through such mediums that we often learn to be more confident, would not, otherwise, have access to. There is a certain period of relaxation or let down after you have been on a job six months or more. You should be aware that there is to be known about the job. This is the dangerous period, as there is ant to be a general let down. It would be well at this time to have a look at the other person's job in your office, study the job next above you, What does it require? No doubt, this study will tide you over until the time of your job. You will come new experiences and situation. A change of position is sometimes necessary, but these changes are a waste of time and effort. If possible, choose a job in your youth that will open up new possibilities each year. If your first choice was not wise, correct the error as soon as possible. Perfect coordination be achieved and the job is the only thing that will bring you happiness and success.

On the streets we witness scenes of poverty that awaken pity and sympathy; sad mendicants crowd the subways and corners and bog farm animals or a morsel of food. They are hungry and sad on the days called "joyful Christmas and happy New Year." Some say these conditions are on the wane, but obviously the decrease is exceedingly slow. crippled dependents will send a brighter ray of sunshine into their lives than we ever know, just the appropriation of a few dollars to help a starving mother and her nursing babies, or the donation of a Christmas basket for an unfortunate family will never be forgotten.

The surprise of the show is the hit that 17-year-old Harriett Calloway has made. She is forced to take encore after encore and has paved her way to the top. Miss Calloway are a group of hard-working professionals, a fast dancing chorus and a splendid choir of singers. Worthy and Thompson, a dancing team, are very well liked, and Jessica Zackery, a sweet singing prima donna, puts over her songs nicely. In the hits, Hamtree Harrington, Sheejo Joyner, Clarence Foster and Eminent Anthony, the ones who make her laughter and make Blackbirds a real fun show. The Porgy scene was very effective. Mary Jones' singing being one of the high spots. The show should be good for another six weeks.

Most times when the white writer is driven to praise the sable brother he injects the brain children of a vivid imagination which makes the intelligent colored reader roar with the reproduce for the edification of our country the jigging from the New York American, fully aware that Harlem will learn it is doing some things which it never does: Just as Josephine Baker, dusky singer of chansonettes, became a Parisian sensation, so has Paul singer the colored actor and singer of bumping the collar of the police man. News comes to Broadway he scored the most brilliant success of any player over there. In England, Robeson finds no racial prejudice. He is piloted to the best table in cafes, invited to select Mayfair drawing rooms, and becomes the guest of honor in the club Alley. America wants him back and Equity is deciding a dispute over his contract. He was suspended for a month and there were whispers he might be barred from the American stage. Up in Harlem his own people are anxious for his return, not particularly to prove conscientious scruples, but because he is the outstanding and best figure of his race. Along Lafayette he is king. Crowds tag his beels in the annex of a prize fight champion parading Broadway. While his fame as an actor grows, he is best known to the Black Belt as a singer. He sings instinctively, having had but few lessons. His concerts took Europe by storm some years ago. Robeson is the bronze of copper with the figure of an Apollo and is thirty-one years old. He was graduated in law at Columbia, but he seceded for the footlights and turned his back to Blackstone early. He is married to a Spanish-colored woman, also a graduate of Columbia. His first conspicuous stage success was in O'Neill's "All God's Chillun Got Wings." Negroes say he is the only public singer correctly to sing their moving spirituals. He leaves them wet-eyed and moaning. His salary in England is reputed to be $1,200 a week. While this is more money than he has ever made. It does not top the sales list of colored entertainers. Florence Mill is peak of her earning power, shortly after she died, received $1,750. And Bill Robinson, a feather-footed t丹 dancer, draws $1,500 this season on Broadway. Jimmie Smith's Picture Talk My dear Romeo: Since you published my last article I feel that I should continue to write somewhat along the same line, so here goes. Ending my article last week I said something to the effect that if the Negro was to be properly represented on the screen he would have to make his own pictures. Since that time I have learned from that man that six good companies are being organised under Negro pictures. It appears that the very thing I suggested is being done, but is it? Yes and no. Because of the great excitement in motion picture circles at this time, and because the large companies are making Negro pictures, many promoters believe that this is the time to float stock propositions or interest investors in motion picture producing combinations. The ideas are clear but we must have more than good ideas to toil to create successful motion pictures. Some of these gentlemen won't even have good intentions. It takes lots of money, huge investments, to turn out and successfully release motion pictures. Other than the three companies, Metro-Goldwyn, Fox and Christie, no company has in history of motion pictures started out with enough capital to begin and continue their business. Promoters will rightly ask investors for large sums, but those planning to invest must assure themselves not only as to the honesty of the promoters, but as to their competency to produce and release motion pictures. Many will promise large and quick returns for money invested, but the surest returns will not come so large or so quickly. Release under the most favorable conditions is a good Negro picture released in only colored houses will be back around thirty thousand dollars, with a possible net after eighteen months of releasing of $5,000 or $10,000. The only thing for the makers of Negro pictures to get excited about is the large company putting all Negro cast movies in their theatres, all white houses will automatically be open for a good Negro picture, regardless who makes it. That condition, if it actually develops, will at least treble the possible gross income of a Negro cast picture and give producers a chance to put more money into production, resulting in better pictures. Another thing: No company should be organized and capitalized at a figure that will insure the making and releasing of less than three pictures and preferably twelve. Individuals like Micheaux and closed companies like Rosebud Films can still make one or more pictures at intervals and return a fair interest on the money of a few individuals. Money alone, however, will not make a real picture. You must have good talent, proper stories, excellent direction, and a supervision that demands extra effort. There is hoping that we as a race get off on the right foot this time, get results and make ourselves a part of one of Amelon's greatest industries.

This gentleman has been responsible for the Alhambra dancing chorus ever since they started and, in conjunction with his work at the Alhambra, he has been called upon to stage revues at the Lafayette and at the University.

It took three crates of fresh eggs, fifteen signs and every baseball exert on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to film one scene in *William Hathaway* in *Beggar Baggage*, which comes to the Lincoln for the latter half of the week.

The Tap Dance "THIS IS as much drama in a tap dance as there is in a play," declares Bill Robinson, conceived the world's greatest tap dancer, who is one of the outstanding stars in Lew Leslie's "blackbirds of 1925" at the Eldinge Theatre. "My tap dancing, in my estimation, exhaled Mr. Robinson, "as is much a business as playwrighting. By that I mean unless one knows the shadings of plot one cannot write a substantial play. And unless one knows how to introduce this idea into the tap dance one emerges but a so-so performer. I have studied tap dancing for almost forty years and believe I appreciate the fundamentals of this art more than any other. "There was a time when I thought that tap dancing was merely proper recording, to music, of course, of sound beats. And while this is naturally the essential foundation on which this style dancing is based, it is nevertheless only the beginner's stage. Tap dancing must have light, color, yes, and even motivation, to give it artistic sparkle. Merely to have it sparkle is not its small way, but unless one brings to it soul too it falls short of greatness. "My chief desire in talking about this is not so much to call attention to myself, but rather to bring to the attention of this phase of the tap dance."

"Contributions of the Negro in the Field of Physical Education and Athletics Committee Admonishes Howard President President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University was admonished by members of the subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee for insisting upon a change in the policy of Federal contributions to the university, according to the published hearings on the Interior Department appropriation bill for the year 1930, made public Monday. Dr. Johnson urged an increase of $65,000 in the item for salaries. He asked the Congress to appropriate the sum of $225,000 toward the payment of salaries of officers, professors, teachers and other regular employees of the university. The Congress approved the payment of 200,000 in the payment of salaries at Howard University in the current fiscal year. Representative Louis C.

By Charles Magill It was predicted in this column that if Caspar Holstein cared to run he would be elected exaffed ruler of Monarch Lodge No. 45. The prediction came true last Monday night when Holstein was overwhelmingly elected head of the famous MiTee Monarchs, snowing under the present incumbent, James Veal, who was a candidate for re-election. An attempt made by Former Exalted Ruler Pope Billups to speak against Holstein was yelled down by the huge crowd out for the election and the former head of Monarch failed to get very far in his speech. Alderman Fred R. Moore made a stirring nominating speech for the new exalted ruler. Mr. Holstein has expressed a determination to "clean house." His program also will concern itself with the success of the extensive building plan upon which Monarch is now launched, and of which he is also the head. This building program is one of the much discussed questions among Monarch members. At present, the first building erected is now ready for occupancy and has been fully rented. Work on the next building will begin shortly and following that the new clubhouse will be erected. The new administration in Mon- ED M.

Finley Wilson forces at the next Grand Lodge session. The refusal of Robert Spalding to make the race for exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge resulted in the ease with which Dudley L. Hunt won at the annual December election held Thursday night at Imperial Home. Hunt, who has twice tried for the coveted exalted rulership, had little difficulty in beating his nearest opponent, Samuel D. Wilson. A feature of the election was to return the power of J. Dalmus Steel, who was elected to the board of trustees by the highest vote accorded any of the three The complete election results were as follows: Bernard Fleet, as teemed loyal knight; C. Tarriel, lecturing knight; George S. Johnson, financial secretary; Joshua H. Williams, treasurer; Joseph A. Thompson, recording secretary. Trustee board: Isaac H.

Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge lost one of its charter members when Cornellus Jackman passed away last Saturday in Roosevelt Hospital. Jackman, who was a pioneer in the insurance business in Harlem, and a native of Barbardos, was a well known character in New York. His home was at 441 Manhattan avenues.

Allen, chairman of the committee in charge, expects it to be a jolly gathering of Elks and their friends to bid adieu to 1928 and to say hello to 1929. Another holiday jollification scheduled by imperial members is that of the popular Eleven O'Clock Club, of which Joseph A. Brown is president. They are preparing for their annual reception of members and friends at the Savoy on the night of December 28. Frank Wetherington, newly elected exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge and chairman of the Christmas basket committee, is preparing to gladden the hearts of 200 needy families on Christmas eve by giving them, on behalf of Imperial, a full Christmas dinner. A feature of this committee's work, carried out under the direction of Richard S. Baltimore as chairman of the contribution committee, has been the utter failure of a large number of business and professional members of Imperial Lodge to respond to the basket committee's request for funds. These funds have, in the main, been secured from the rank and file of members holding small jobs, from which they derive small incomes; yet, these have contributed generously to charity—the first cardinal principle of Elkdom.

"Carolyn Capers" Pep Xmas Party 500 Employees of Carolyn Laundry Make Merry at Annual Event A good time was had by all at the Carolyn Laundry Christmas Party, the outstanding annual event of 500 employees, last Saturday afternoon in Carolyn auditorium, in the laundry building, 111 East 128th street. Only a small percentage of the employees are white, including the driver. A reporter of The Amsterdam News attended the affair as a guest. The employees presented "Carolyn Capers," a musical show, under the direction of Henry Lane, white, son of the president, Edwin Lane. Miss Eva May, white, Carolyn welcomes, was chairman of the entertainment committee, assisted by Ralph Diaz and Mrs. Hynes, both white. After some good cats and the address of welcome by Mary Jones and hilarious presentations by Miss May, the show went on, and every number went down without a hitch. Broadway could not have done better in this respect. Mary Marshall opened with a Christmas carol followed by Marie Woodley, the winning kit. Then a good dancing trio joined Clare Smith, Thimma Alleyen, Helen Boone, dressed in black satin knickers and silk satin blouses.

"We All Want to Know Where the Money Is Gone" Became a Slogan Here When Eddie Hunter Appeared in His "How Come?" Above Is Shown One of the Best Pictures of Norman Astwood and Eddie Hunter in a Scene From "Blackbirds," Now Scoring a Big Success in England. The European "Blackbirds" Trailing the Successful Colored American Entertainers Through the Columns of the British Press By THE OBSERVER THE original company produced by which made most of the "top" data HE original company produced by Lew Leslie and which went to great fame in Europe and added insure to the name of the Milda Willard Impression in Europe many thought it would be impossible to gather another company that would hold the attention of the British public. But such is the case and the present company of "Blackbirds" continues to draw warm praise from press and online and the artist upon whom the major portion of the praise is showed. This is Eddie Hunter, whose quaint comedy with its strong touch of originality has taken the English public by storm. One the eve of his sailing for Europe, the Hunter that his work was too fast for the English people to follow, but a country which has given to the world some of the best humorists did not find the hard task to respond to trials like "Rasins Skunton Lime." So much so Hunter will remain in England for quite some time to come. The success of the comedian and the company of the comedians is as good as the following comments garnered from, but a few of the papers virtually raving over "Blackbirds": (From the Yorkshire Evening Post.) When the nightmarish barber had lathered his customer's waistcoat and cut off his chapeau of necus pleakianum—some of them apparently genuine—came on and showed us where our modern musical comedy people learnt their steps. And before the curtain had time to fall Johnny Nit was "on" in a whirlwind dance. sang "Sonny Boy" and acted the parts. "Watch Us Step" was a hot number and a fast one led by Geraldine Banc and a beset by Susie Simmons, Mattie Mac, Mary Mac, Golden Anderson, Alice Blake, and Dellah Hall. Swift upon this came Joe Simmons, with a tap dance. He was good. Helen Moring and Gladys Biggins comprised a duet that was really unusual, reminding one of the Lafayette Theatre. They were likely costumed. Then the Walker sisters and Eather and Theresa, gave a professional air to the show with their song and dance. Thomas Liatono, Dan McCahoe and Jackson Rosenblum, all white, put on a "Driver's Diversion" that vavily tickled the risibilities. Six couples did the Lindy Hop and the best teams were Dorothy Phillips and Walter Clark, Theresa Walker and Bromell Mignon. Alice Blake and Irving Lewis were also good. Following the ensemble chorus a Charleston contest was conducted in which a tie prize of $5 each was given to two girls and $5 was given to one youth by Charles Mendelson; a Carolyn official. Then every player dressed a Trophy Eaton at the piano. Charles Mage at the bar and Benedict Walker wielding the drum sticks. Continued From Page 12 ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY- Want to Know? The Money Is Gone" Became Hunter Appeared in His "How One of the Best Pictures of Nor-enter in a Scene From "Black-success in England. "Blackbirds" Fored American Entertainers of the British Press which made most of the "tap" dancing we have applauded seem like a rest cure. Here was speed and the lusty frontal attack we expect from revue. It was stimulating for the first ten minutes and to pull a little. It would be refreshing, you felt, to get a clume of an idea. Fortunately, the wish had hardly crossed your mind before it was fulfilled. Eddy Hunter came on. Immediately, instead of mere slap-stick clowning, we had character. "Rastus," the hen-stealing, gullelessly furtive, transparently plausible Negro of a thousand comic stories, came to life for us on the stage. He had been stealing, as usual, and as usual he was heating straight for a policeman. He walked right into him, in fact, and the groan of despair which arose came from the depths of his mild, sensitive Negro soul. He never trembled. He had no need. He merely cleared his throat and we realized he was drawing comfort from it fact that in a world gene as black as his face he could still perform this normal function. I have heard "email boys emit just such a noise walking to be called in the headmaster's study," "I saw," said Rastus, "can you imagine it?" His triumph was that we could and his triumph made this new twice slightly edition of "Blackbirds" at the Alhambra worth the two hours we spent on it. (From the Fourteenth Daily Echo.) Patrons of Bescombe Hippodromes are being regulated with a succession of good things. The first week, which this film is this week, follows which other shows whose reputations, gained before critical audiences in town, have preceded them. Last night full houses welcomed this splendid presentation. "Blackhaird" impresses in four different ways. One is overwhelmed by the speed, which sends the whole evening along morely; the dancing, which is a more serious and ordinary, and the humor. This is irresistible and as clean as the players are dusky. The program is so well balanced and the show has no special feature as is the remainder is supervised, as is so often the case, but is consistently good. Edile Hunter makes most of the fun. He compels laughter without straining for effect, and with a word can semisituation. "Oo-do grahssht!" as he would say, is an exclamation which comes to the lips readily. He is helped by Clinton Taylor and Norman Astwood, who provide support such excellent work demands. Clinton Taylor is a host in himself. He presents the typical Negro with his skills, his humor, his amusing light. Then Robert Williams is another who creatively helps in manufacturing the humor of the show, while John Hamid and Ben Hamid may also be mentioned. There are some good sketches for these comedians, in the composing of which Hufffer's name is prominent. We see the comedian in "the mouth," which is original, clever and clean. Fannie Hendrickson does fine work in the sketches in a variety of parts, in a portion of their success is due to her. The cast is full of dances, first of whom should come Johnny Nit, described as "the world's greatest tap dancer." He. certainly is clever, last night won well earned applaudation. Anita Edwards, as the leaf vocalists, with Norman Astwood, very successful and captivating her interpretations. Fossile Pearce, Norah Long, Chandler and Olive Mendez are on a silent mention for good work. The Blake Warner, worthy of the production and its reputation for good dancing. (From the Leicester Chronicle A Welsh Singer The only white lady in *Blackbirds* is Anita Edwards, a soprano, whose aria is *The Woman in the Moon*, the features of the show. She comes from studied for five years at the Royal Academy of Music after having won the Eisteddfode. Eisteddfode. She has done a great deal of work and has appeared in *White Birds*. Miss Edwards bears a striking beauty to Miss Megan Lloyd George and since than once has been mistaken for her. Well Donel The vocal soubrette in "Blackbirds" is Olive Mendez, who was in the chorus of the original product. A. Formally she was a shorthand triplet in London and speaks five languages. She came to England from Belgium as a refugee and does not speak a word of English, but she is well known in London and, winning a scholarship, proceeded to a commercial school for training. --- (From the Birmingham Mall.) Since the Armistice a concert has been held still lying in Highbury and wounded in hospitals, through the generosity of the artists appearing at the Birmingham music hall and by the co-operation of the various managers. This concert was this afternoon in the recreation hall at Highbury before an audience of about 100 patients, most of whom were bedridden. Members of the nursing staff also attended, which the following artists contributed: --- Empire Theatre—Mr. Eddie Hunter, Messrs. William and Taylor, Mr. John Nit, Miss Antee Edwards, Mr. Norrine Freidle, Miss Actor Fate, Miss Angela Gullee; Birmingham Hipodrome—The Four Harmony Kings, Little Viola, Miss Grave Dro, Mrs. Tiffany, Miss Actor Fate, and Gohl, Mr. Bubble Thronon; Anton Hipodrome—Mr. Jack Clifford and company in a sketch. The organizers were Messrs. H. Raymond, P. A. Jolley, J. W. Kilgour and Wiltshire, with the help of visiting managers. A vote of hearty appreciation and gratitude to the artists and all concerned was passed on the proposition of the medical superintendent, Dr. Marshall. RACE PRIDE SOMETHING of the spirit of Yuletide that runs so largely to merry-making is manifested all the year round by the "Blackbird's" in their playing at the merry-market. The merry band might be said always to have been "good times for folklog of good will," but the idea behind such an attitude is a little more significant than is generally appreciated. The average "blackbird" takes real pride in the stage as well as as does the average stage artist, but as a colored entertainer who realizes that much of the reputation of his race comes into consideration, with his performance before the footlights. He feels that the audience should heart to be by the world at large as when they disport themselves in the serious business of whole-souled merry-making. It is a strange paradox that has influenced more credit accruing to the race than to the folk than might have been effected for it through an army of publicists. The featured "Blackbirds" are especially alive to their responsibilities in caring for the children and to believe when the curtain goes up on our snow we are unfolding to all present a safe and safe advertisement for a better understanding of the colored people in our community in a cheerful solo is to be privileged to write headlines for that advertisement. It is Bill Robinson's confident aspiration that to entertain hundreds of people that he is willing to achieve real steps in progress as well for his race. "We Blackbirds" want the public to take us seriously only insofar as our efforts to insist, points out Robinson, "To give our hearts and souls to the spirited impulses of joy that are our natural heritage, this is our pride. I say, 'On our earth.'" Nor is there any mistaking the inspired attitude of Alda Ward, who points out the mission of the colored entertainer to the spread of joy and to play, "outstulted the singer, 'Is there anything better in life? Is it not teaching others to be happy? Good entertainment is the best way to be happy and we colored people hope we are helping it along in our cheery way." Theatrical Eyening at Liberty Hall Saturday Despite the many discouraging things which surround those Negroes of culture forced to seek a haven of refuge in this country we have no control which they have no control, that little band of Haytians under the wing of the Haytian Progressive Club continue to attempt to keep fresh the lines of things by their stage presentations from the audience. They have arranged for what they choose to call a "theatrical evening" at Liberty Hall the coming Saturday night featuring some of the people men who have during the prize week woken up for their ability. The program will be as follows: PART I. L'Lyrique de la Vie, poetry by J. Subraye PART II. L'Oracle—Haytiny Drama, by C. Colon. Bill (Soup Box Orator), T. Salman, b. (in havestele), W. V.

Life Insurance Increases Among Race; Nearly 500 Are Insured for Over $5,000 National Negro Insurance Association Official Issues Pamphlet of Heavily Insured Negroes—Watt Terry Heads List With $545,000 Containing nearly five hundred names of persons scattered throughout the country who carry insurance on their lives ranging from $5,000 to $545,000, is a pamphlet entitled "Prominent Colored Patrons of Life Insurance," compiled by Harry H. Pace, president of the National Negro Insurance Association. Fifteen years ago an insurance publication referred to "the amount of insurance upon the lives of colored people is so small as to be almost negligible." But with the coming of Negro companies, twenty-eight of whom are members of the National Negro Insurance Association, the active interest in life insurance on the part of all classes has increased so rapidly that it is now estimated by the association officials that the life insurance carried by colored people amounts to nearly one and one-half billion dollars. --- Life Insurance Increase Nearly 500 Are Insured National Negro Insurance Pamphlet of Heavily In Terry Heads List Containing nearly five hundred throughout the country who are ranging from $5,000 to $545,000 inent Colored Patrons of Life H. Pace, president of the Nation. Fifteen years ago an insurance amount of insurance upon the life as to be almost negligible." In companies, twenty-eight of national Negro Insurance Association insurance on the part of all that it is now estimated by the insurance carried by colored per one-half billion dollars. In support of this theory is the fact brought out in 1926 that one large white company had over nine hundred millions of dollars of insurance on the lives of Negroes, while Negro companies themselves had over two hundred and fifty millions in force. The ratio of increase in the two years would indicate that the estimated figure is not far wrong. The individual reporting the largest amount of insurance on his life is Watt Terry of New York, a real estate owner and broker, with $455,000. Following him is Dr. John A. Kenney of Newark, a physician, with $225,000, while C. C. Smulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company of Durham, N.C., and C. C.

Nail, New York real estate broker, $15,000, and two physicians, Dr. W. W. Willoughby, Englewood, N. J., and Dr. H. L. Hunter, Hamilton, Ohio, with $115,600 each. The pamphlet lists five other individuals with insurance from $75,000 to $0,000. These are E. J. Depaillin, a Boston Atlantic City, $75,000; Dr. R. M. Fowler, Worham, real estate; Willingham W. Worham, real estate; B. A. Irving, contractor, New York, $85,000, and R. L. McDougal, vice president, Mechanics & Farmers Bank Durham, N.

Dark Skins Immune BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 17.—The lowly streptococcus possess the white meat to the dark. This characteristic of mankind's most sanguinary foe has been established by Prof. Samuel J. Holmes of the department of zoology of the University of California, and indicates, says the professor, that the black-skinned man is less liable to diseases which enter the body through the skin than is his white brother. Through study of mortality tables, Prof. Holmes has found that against diseases which normally gain entrance to the body through the outer skin black persons have more success. In a report to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology Prof. Holmes says: "There are several diseases against which the Negro is more or less protected. These include such diverse ailments as skin cancer, bolls, erysipelas, diphtheria, scarlet fever and, to a lesser degree, measles." Concerning the reasons for this protective characteristic of dark skin Prof. Holmes states that it may be the result of the same power that leads to the production of pigment. Pigment, he adds, may not be a protective agent, except against light, but its production is not improbably an index of a power of vital resistance both to infection and to malignant growths.—The Sun.

Washington School Girl Takes Own Life WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17. Life proved too great a strain for Graye Enunce Owens, pretty 18-year-old student of the Miner Normal School, and on last Monday her name was added to the list of suicidal deaths of students that have come like a wave in recent years. Police seeking to unravel the mystery of her taking her life were inclined to the theory that she was unwilling to keep her belrothal. She was to be married, at Christmastime, to a boy named Davis, they say. The suicide notes left by Miss Owens hinted at an affair with a man two years ago. She chose death she had to deceive the man to whom she was to be married, police concluded. Shortly after noon Monday Miss Owens shot herself with a 28-call live-Johnson revolver in the kitchen of her home. The bullet entered her left breast and pierced her heart. Sweetheart Tries to End His Life Despondent over the suicide of his sweetheart, Grace Eunice Owens, Joseph Davis, a student, 51, 1423 Q street, northwest, attempted to take his life by ibuating gas. He was found on the kitchen floor of the home of his parents by a room at 8:45 a.m. Tuesdays. Gas filling from a gas stove which he had been using. The fire rescue squad and the Emergency Hospital ambulance responded. He was revived and removed to the Emergency Hospital. His condition is reported to be good. Musicians to Taboo Word "Professor" By CARL DITON. What is considered one of the most constructive recommendations adopted by the National Association of Negro Musicians, inc., at its reorganization, is that musicians all over the country sided by the sentiment of the general public should forthwith encourage the dropping of the title "professor" which has for some years back gradually fallen into disrepute in that it was the title of the sons who know little or nothing at all of the musical art. The national organization will, of course, continue to respect the title when used in connection with musicians who hold chairs in well-organized musical theory departments of recognised colleges and universities. Otherwise the mere expressions John Smith, conductor, Samuel Brown, planist, and so on will be sufficient in the mind of the association to convey what phase it may be in and whatever superior talent, intellectual, or unusual fund of knowledge the particular individual possesses may be left for the general public to decide in proportion to the amount of creative, interpretative or pedagogic ability exhibited. A. N. P. REPUBLICAN CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS The annual election of officers of the Colored Men's Republican Club, Jersey City, was held the evening of December 11, 1915, at the Central Clubhouse, 264 Forrest street.

Trustees Not Liable In Bank Failure District of Columbia Judge Indicates This Will Be His Decision WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17. Indicating that he might hold that the trustees and shareholders of the defunct Union Laborers Bank are not personally liable for losses of depositors, Justice Peyton Gordon in Equity Court No. 1 last Tuesday postponed the hearing of the case to January 10 to allow counsel to file trifles. He intimated that he would dispose of this case on that day. He also indicated that he would H. Houston of the firm of H. Houston & Houston, representing depositors, naked the court for a decree personally against the trustees and shareholders of the bank on the ground that the receivers had no assets with which to pay depositors. Objection was immediately made by Prailley & Purcell, attorneys for Dr. Thomas C. Smith, a trustee, and Jae H. Foster, a shareholder. They joined that the depositors were limited to the amount that the receivers and that, if the receivers had no assets, the depositors could not recover. Attorneys Hayes & Davis represented J. Finley Wilson, a trustee and shareholder. Attorney Armond W. Scott appeared for Dr. Rembert T. Nelson, a trustee and shareholder. Attorney Charles S. Cuney represented the estate of the late Lewis W.

P.) —All of the pot superstitions; said to be characteristic of the Negro race, were outdone recently when a throng of American people of both races congregated in a corner of the Wesleyan Cemetery on Olive street road near Hanlan road to witness the venerable Lee Mow Lin, sage of Chinatown here, wash and dry the bones of his countrymen, buried in St. Louis, before shipping them to Hon Kong, China. Two vigorous Celestials are aiding Lee Mow Lin in performing the plious work, which will require several days of steady work. About them are the remains of one hundred of their fellows, whose spirits have been tormented by the ten devils of Hades, because their bones have been interred in a land of strangers far from the halls of their ancestors. Those most fortunate spirits are now about to ascend before the Prince of Heaven, for Lee Mow Lin his companions are preparing their bones for shipment back to China, and will again be buried by their families. Within a month a steamer will leave San Francisco for Hong Kong with a cargo of hundreds of wooden crates, about three foot square, each containing four in boxes. These boxes will contain the bones of Chinese, formerly buried in the United States. From Hong Kong the process will be distributed throughout the interior of Chicago. The first two bodies discovered by the cemetery grave diggers in their work so far are petrified, so that the bones cannot be packed. They then see the sky," said Lee Mow Lin, who years we will send them back." The grave will be left open for two days, and then refilled with earth. Several of the bodies so far taken up are those of Chinese who met sudden and violent death. Some bore marks of bullet wounds. One of the bodies was found at the forehead. The portly figure of this Oriental was familiar some years back around the St. Louis Custom House, where he served as an interpreter. "He snitch," was the laconic answer to a query about his birth. Bustel away from the graves of their ancestors is ignominious. After death the soul finds a home divided in three parts: one in the grave, to receive sacrifices; another on the wooden tablet, placed in the halls of their ancestors, where two years ago immortal rites are performed, and buried in a grave where, it is rewarded for its good deeds. When the bones of those who have died in foreign lands are returned home they will be placed in jars and buried near those of their ancestors. Mock money will be burned at the graves, so that the man who has died will be put its way in another world, supernatural chalice and furniture will be offered to the fire for use in Heaven, and firecrackers will be exploded to drive away any lurking evil spirits. Then at last the soul will be at peace. Almost all Chinese in America belong to the Merchants' and Laborers' Association, which has for its sake been the bones of those who died in the United States, and all may die comforted with the thought that within ten years they may return to their ancestors. Commissioner Coler Anxious-to Aid Harlem Commissioner Bird S. Coler of the Department of Public Welfare has announced his retirement as commissioner on February 1, 1932. He is the Hubert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League, he expresses a desire to receive suggestions as to what he might do in rounding out his administration, particularly in matters affecting the Negro population. "The purpose of this letter," says he, "is twofold. First, to sincerely express my appreciation or the aplendid cooperation afforded me during the many years I have participated in the charitable activities of the Society during the incumbency of my prescant office. The other is to request you to bring to my attention, as promptly as you can conveniently, any matters of policy of this department affecting your work which, in your opinion, you may consider in addition to your own experience. Before leaving, I am endowing to tie up any loose ends which may exist, so that I may hand over the department to my successor in as good condition as I have been able to maintain it through the past ten or eleven years. If at any time, I can work, I trust you will not hesitate to call upon me, as my interest in the charitable affairs of the city will not cease with my retirement." N. A. A. C. P. Activities J. E.

MAY THIS CHRISTMAS BE YOUR MERRIEST Christmas--1928 NINETEEN HUNDRED and twenty-eight years of Christ versus a million years of Adam. That is the answer to those despairing souls who, looking upon the world this Christmastide, have fears for the future of Christianity. They see evil all about them; they see hypocrisy thriving, lust rampant, robbery undiminished, murder romanticized, hatred made a religion, and all the sins that Jesus preached against apparently flourishing like a green bay tree. They hear it said that the world has outgrown Christ; that if Christianity is to survive it must accommodate itself to modern conditions—the ethics of the stock market and politics, for instance. They hear men say that Christianity is a childish superstition unworthy of advanced minds; that God is not in Heaven, but in themselves. They see the old ideals of personal honesty, hard work, chastity and marriage swept away like fallen leaves, and they tremble for the future of the world. THEY NEED NOT FEAR. This age, every age, is but one small step in the majestic march of humanity toward a better life. Every age has had its follies, but humanity has always purged itself, righted itself like a good ship and returned to its course. Deep down in human nature, under all the fads and isms and temporary aberrations, there is an instinct for permanent values, and to these values humanity always returns, as surely as the compass needle turns to the polar star. THIS SAVING INSTINCT and these eternal values have found their highest expression in the teachings of Jesus Christ. He said nothing of the problems of the moment, of transient values, of this or that theory of economics, government, politics, marriage, education or social custom. He spoke of things that are eternal, things that are as true in this engine-worshiping century as they were in the priest-ridden Middle Ages or the pagan days of antiquity. He struck straight at the human heart. THE HEART of man responded and it still responds. To some, evil may seem more prevalent than good, because evil makes more noise than good. Our newspapers are full of tales of murder, thievery and lust because decent behavior is so common that it is not news. If sin were really dominant this world could not last five days. If the majority or even a large minority of business men were liars and crooks, if their word were worth nothing, the whole business structure would collage in a day. If the world were given over to lust, society would have perished long ago. If murder were the rule, the human race would have disappeared from the face of the earth. If the Golden Rule were renounced, there could be no love, no faith, hope, or friendship. IT IS TOO MUCH TO EXPECT that Christianity should purify the world in nineteen hundred years when old Adam has had his way for a million years. But more and more, whether professedly or not, men and women are following the doctrines of Jesus Christ. Misplaced Efficiency LAST WEEK in Chicago somebody broke a window in a small restaurant. Ernest Whitehurst, a seventeen-year-old Negro boy, was suspected, and three policemen sought to question him. The boy fled to his home, a second-floor apartment, and barricaded the doors. The police attacked the house and the boy defended himself with a shotgun, wounding nine policemen. The police commissioner of the city took charge of the siege, and in a short time 200 policemen were engaged in it, some of them carrying heavy shields as shelter from the bullets. They used machine guns, shotguns, revolvers and tear gas bombs. After four hours of fighting the boy's sister, according to the report, opened the door from the inside. Then a policeman shot the boy in the head. Other policemen finished the job, pouring thirty bullets into the boy's body. FINISHED THE JOB! Any person shot in the head is absolutely helpless; what need is there to put thirty more bullets into his body? The boy was only seventeen; he was no hardened murderer; he was only a panic-striken youngster who probably feared they would lynch him for breaking a window. Riddling him with bullets after he had been mortally wounded was nothing but an act of violence. AND THIS WAS IN CHICAGO, where gangsters and bandits run wild, robbing, killing and bombing while the police profess they are powerless to stop them. But when a boy of seventeen breaks a window the police suddenly become efficient and gather a battalion of 200 men with all the weapons of modern warfare and the police commissioner at their head. Why isn't some of this efficiency used against the gunmen and racketeers who terrorize the city? Appreciation of Schopenhauer Pennsylvania Voodoo THE NEGRO has been despised and mocked by other races because of his ignorance and superstition. He alone, in Harlem, in the West Indies, or in Africa, is supposed to live under the spell of voodoo and witch doctors. But a few days ago something happened among Pennsylvania white people which has never been seen among the most ignorant Negroes in America. All the parties in the case were white. A MAN NAMED BLYMYER told a family named Hess that their misfortunes were due to the evil influence of one Rehmeyer, whom they had never seen. He advised them to secure a lock of Rehmeyer's hair and bury it eight feet under the ground. Under his leadership two of the Hess family sought out Rehmeyer, who lived twenty miles away, and roused him from bed. They attacked him; he resisted; they beat him to death. Then they burned his body. THIS IS NO ISOLATED CASE; such superstition prevails among the Pennsylvania Dutch, who are supposed to be one of the best elements in the population of America. It once prevailed in sacred New England. In Pennsylvania it is easy to find a witch doctor who will sell you a charm against your enemies. Yet these very people will tell you that the Negro's addiction to veodow and other superstitions is proof of his inferiority to other races. Lewis H. Latimer Lewis H. Latimer THE NEW NEGRO is so busy praising himself and belittling the older Negro that he often overlooks the achievements of the past generation. It is a question whether, in years to come, the work of the present-day Negro will stand out as do the achievements of his fathers. Now and then we come upon some Negro of the past who has needed only a little advertising to place his name among the notable men of the race. HOW MANY PEOPLE know that a colored man had a part in the making of Alexander Bell's telephone? How many know that this same man directed the establishing of the street lighting system of London, England? Or that this man for fifty years drew the plans for the major inventions of Thomas A. Edison? THIS MAN WAS Lewis H. Latimer, who died last week in Flushing at the age of 81. He was closely associated with three great men—William Lloyd Garrison, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Edison. His work in science was an achievement and his personal life was a work of art. MAKE no apology for presenting in these columns an extract from the eulogy of Prof. G. David Houston, principal of the Arnstrong High School of Washington, D. C., over the remains of my son, Isaac Newton Miller, who died on Oct. 3, believing as I do that the simplicity, sincerity, serviceability and beauty of his short-circuited life will be a benediction to those who may learn of it. "In memory of a life that has been short but serviceable, in fitting tribute to a character that merits emulation, and for an inspiration to our youth, we gather here today to pay our final respects to Isaac Newton, whom we all knew merely as 'Newt.' "I came to know him as a pupil in the M Street High School, as a student in Howard University, as a brother in the Omega Phi Phl Praternity, and as a colleague in the Armstrong High School, covering a period of some seventeen or eighteen years, during which time we had close contacts, social, fraternal and professional. "It was this kind of beaming optimism—this constant cheerfulness under all circumstances—that made Newton Miller a most valuable leader of impressionable youth. It was his hearty, jovial sincere disposition that won his pupils. With a very few exceptions every boy in the Armstrong High School came under his instruction. He taught five or six hundred boys a week, and yet no one ever heard Newton Miller complain of the conduct of any boy in his class. No one ever heard of any case of discipline in his classes too big for 'him to handle. He developed a rare WHEN I left Germany in 1927 I knew that I was going to seize the first opportunity to get back there, because I had not seen the place that interested me most—the city of Frankfort. At the mention of Frankfort, or Frankfurt, one will think at once --- MEET MY SON Bu KELLY MILLER genius for dealing with adolescent boys and could handle 150 boys with as much case and grace as he handled fifty. "Allied with his perpetual optimism was his prompt and plops JOHN H. HARRIS attention to duties. With Newton Miller punctuality and regularity were cardinal virtues. He began early in life to acquire such an attitude, for he passed through the elementary grades and the high school without being absent or tardy; and his few absences during his college days were due to a spell of illness. Wherever he was expected, there he always was to be found. "But his cherished punctuality and regularity were not limited to his professional duties; he carried the same precision into his business relations. He met his obligations promptly and cheerfully. -By J. A. ROGERS of that process that permitted man's closest friend, the dog, to get still closer to him but, not being a lover of sausages—I fear that my faith in humanity is not sufficiently well developed for that—it was not that that drew me there. Frankfort was the residence and the burialplace of the one who, with the exception of Darwin, did more to influence ia Voodoo espised and mocked by other and superstition. He alone, or in Africa, is supposed to and witch doctors. But a few With him a bill made was an obligation to he paid. He had no patience with any contrary conception. "Growing up in an age agitated with matters of sex he maintained his moral equilibrium. This veritable Victorian sense of purity on his part remained one of the most beautiful traits of his unsullied character. His chief legacy to modern youth is the memory of his clean living. "As an inevitable consequence of living such a clean, unimpeachable life he suffered no embarrassment in keeping constantly before the boys of his community the ideals of clean, robust manhood, for he exemplified the life to which he would faint direct others. The simple virtues of sterling manhood had more than mere residence upon his lips; they had lodgment in his very bosom. "And so we find him, on the threshold of a serviceable career, taking two important steps, namely: Allying himself actively with the church and selecting as his companion for life a young lady who exemplified the purity of character which he had learned to venerate. "He never grew too modern to acknowledge the influence of the Christian church. He never outlived his earliest training in church devotion. He never found it inconvenient to give moral impetus to any Christian movement in the community. He so lived as to leave no question as to his belief in the basic principles of Christianity. "Newton Miller had no lust for a spectacular career. There was nothing showy about his acts or actions. In fact, one not closely associated with him might have misinterpreted his easygoing manner as a lack of ambition that one might expect of the son of so illustrious a sire; but Newton Miller, in his own intimable way, modern thought than any other writer or thinker—Arthur Schopenhauer. It is safe to say that very, very few Negroes have ever heard of PETER H. him and still tower have ever read him, and still there is no book on earth that I would recommend more to Negroes to read than his. Schopenhauer was a skeptic of the skeptics; that is, he questioned everything. Prior to reading Schopenhauer I had read enormously of the world's literature—I had read so much that I had become cloaked and wondered where to turn next. I discovered Schopenhauer and read him for fully eight years. Nietzsche, his foremost disciple, said that when he first read Schopenhauer he felt as if he had suddenly grown a pair of wings, and that was my feeling, precisely. Whereas most of the other philosophers are obscure, Schopenhauer is as clear as a beautiful sunlit meadow, to borrow a phrase from one of his leading critics. Schopenhauer was the great apostle of simplicity in expression and one of the greatestoes of humber and bunk that ever lived. A writer, he said, should aim at charity. He should be like an Alpine lake, which combines great cleaness with great depth. The same erite, William Morton Payne, calls Schopenhauer's principal work, "The World as Will and Idea," the most artistic philosophical treatise in existence, unless we hark back to the immortal Plato. Schopenhauer. In my opinion, saw more deeply into life and nu- SPECIAL ARTICLES --- was always aspiring to touch his objective, which was not to be heard in public forums or to be quoted from printed pages, but to direct the young to nobler, wiser, saner aims. "His was the goal of thoroughness, the goal of decent standards, the goal of Christian service. He went quietly about his work without fuss or flurry. He did his work without apology or expectancy of reward. What he lacked in physical stature he made up in many qualities which made him attractive and commanding. "Is not such a life worthy of emulation? Are not these reflections of a life, so worthy spent, a source of solace at such a time as this? Is there no cause for exultation when one reviews a career so steeped in high moral purpose? Life, after all, is but a "fatful fever." Physically, man vanished out of vision. Spiritually, he lingers as long as his worthy deeds entitled him to remembrance. The body that falls the victim of pain and disease is but the temporary machine which makes possible the only kind of life that can be enduring; that is, the influence which one bequeaths to posterity. "Though Newton was abruptly removed from us, in the physical sense, in the April of his career, he was, nevertheless, permitted to tarry long enough among us to enhance a beautiful philosophy of living, to give both young and old a living picture of domestic felicity, of filial devotion, of Christian service. "Naturally we are stunned by the suddenness of the change, but a Power that is beyond our control determines the destinies of mortals. We can neither restore the physical nor destroy the spiritual. We are not going to see Newton daily, but we cannot help from feeling his influence daily. Such an inspiration is immortal." ture than any other thinker; but to me, a so-called Negro, he had an added value, and I may say why. There I was living in a land where others had the power to force such conditions on me that I, in spite of myself, felt myself a pariah, the scum of the earth, the man forced to approach life through the back door, the rear elevator, the one used for garbage and slops. On top of this, here comes a thinker, who demonstrated to me, in clear and very beautiful language, that I, the despised, am really the center of the universe for myself, just as every other individual is for himself, whether he be a king on a throne, a beggar, a sot in the gutter, or a Southern white bursting with all the pride of his Jim-crow laws. That is to say, much in life is conditioned upon our acceptance of it. Schopenhauer, perhaps more than any other writer, has helped in making the German people what they are today—the most thorough and substantial people on earth, from the standpoint of mental development. He gives one such a sense of human dignity; stirs one up to such heights of self-respect and independence of thought, that I am convinced that, if his writings were to see into the souls of but half of the Negro population of America, we would give some trouble to our oppressors, as much as a similar number of white Southerners would give if the tables were suddenly turned and we in the majority and in power. Mention Schopenhauer to most persons and they will at once cry: "Pessimist," without, perhaps, ever having looked into his writings. Any man who tells the truth is a pessimist. In this respect Schopenhauer is a pessimist: he places life on the operating table and lays it bare, and it is not a pleasant sight for the one who has been fed all his life on sweet plattades. But the man of courage will find in his writings, instead of a pessimism, a most vigorous optimism. He will find his old shack of dogmas tumbling about his ear; instead of complaining, he will rejoice and say, with Longfellow: "Build, thee, more stately mansions, oh, my soul!" Besides, Schopenhauer is not nearly so pessimistic as the Bible, which tells us that man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward, or that he is as the grass, or that this earth is not fit to live on, so that he must look forward to dying and going to heaven, whatever or wherever that is. As for me, after reading Schopenhauer I felt more in love with this earth than ever, and the golden streets lost all appeal. For Schopenhauer, the greatest of all qualities is kindness of AS CHRISTMAS comes, it is well to be reminded that overindulgence in some of the things which make it the most enjoyable holiday season in the year might produce just the opposite results. Let us this season, while making merry, give some thought to those less fortunate than ourselves. It is with this spirit in mind that this column, in wishing you a very merry Christmas, takes this opportunity to present to Harlem one of the health agencies whose work throughout the year recommends it for your consideration. A Feel in the Chris'mas-Air The Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, which was formed six years ago at the invitation of local physicians, welfare workers and prominent residents, is a good example of the health work now being carried on for Negroes. It receives almost its entire support from the annual Christmas Seal sale now in progress. The committee carries on an extensive program of health education in the community. It distributes pamphlets on health to groups and individuals, in an effort to teach the prevention of disease and the importance of good health. It arranges health talks and entertainments before schools, clubs, churches and various groups in the community. More than 8,800 persons heard these talks last year. The committee maintains a health examination clinic for children and a dental clinic for children at the offices, 202 West 136th street. Last year more than 2,200 patients were treated at the dental clinic and 365 children were given health examinations. These clinics are operated in order to watch the general health of children. The service of the committee which most directly reaches every resident of Harlem is the Information Service. Anyone may take heart, which, he says, outshines all other human attributes. It is, he says, the quality before which intellectual and all other achievements must be dumb. Schopenhauer's life, too, is full of inspiration for those of our young Negro writers and thinkers, who will not bow the knee to Baal but wish to write truthfully and faithfully of life as they feel it and see it. For forty years he was ignored and ridiculed, while men, long since forgotten—men whose books are now hardly read—were the vogue. Then, toward the close of his life, when he was over 70, the world suddenly discovered what a great man it had in its midst, and then no homage was too great. Learned men from all over Europe wished to see him and know him personally and flocked to his hotel in Frankfort. His landlord was once asked: "Does royalty ever stop at your hotel?" "No," said he, "but I have Dr. Schopenhauer." There is no space to say much about his life. He was horn at Danzig in 1788 and died in 1860. Frankfort has erected a monument to him. His tomb in the Auftriedhof is a very simple his questions to this service. Information is free of charge, because it is paid for by the annual sale of Christmas Seals. The committee has a complete, up-to-date file of information about the health facilities of New York City. Tuberculosis and heart disease patients are helped in-finding places in hospitals and sanatorium, where they may receive treatment at prices they can afford. The activities of the Harlem Committee, like those of all the tuberculosis associations throughout the country, continue the year round to protect the health of everyone in the community, directly or indirectly. Yet the public appeal for funds to carry on this work is made only once a year—at Christmas time. It is requested that as many Christmas Seals as possible be purchased between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. This will make Christmas a happy time for thousands of persons who need sanatorium care, and give thousands more an opportunity to learn how to avoid preventable sickness and its handicaps. Dr. Henry O. Harding is chairman of the Harlem Committee and a member of the board of directors of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. Mrs. Mabel Doyle Kenton, R. N., is the executive secretary. one, quite a contrast to those of some of the burgomasters, of whom one has perhaps never heard outside of the town...When asked where he wished to be buried, Schopenhauer said: "Bury me where you will, the world will find me out." To read his masterpiece some intellectual preparation is necessary, but his essays can be read and understood by almost everyone. The principal ones are a series of three: "Personality, or What a Man Is"; "Property, or What a Man Has"; "Position, or a Man's Place in the Estimation of Others." There is also "The Wisdom of Life." For writers I especially recommend "Books and Authorship" and "The Art of Literature," especially the chapter on "Style." I also recommend these last-named books to the reading public, for they will make one more discriminating in his reading. Translations by Balf Saunders are the best. Frankfort is also the birthplace of the greatest of German poets Goethe, and in my next article shall say something of him.
