Lynchings Make Further Decline Tuskegee Department of Records Shows Seven Less Than 1927 A record of lynchings for the par year as compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research reveals that there were nine persons lynched in 1928. This is seven less than the number sixteen for 1927, twenty-one less than the number thirty for 1926, eight less than the number seventeen for 1925 and seven less than the number sixteen for 1924. Six of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, one from jail and five from officers of the law outside of jails. There were twenty-four instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings; three of these were in northern states and twenty-one in southern states. In twenty-three of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In one other instance armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. Fourteen white men, one white woman and twenty-five Negro men were thus saved from death at the hands of mobs. Of the nine persons lynched eight were Negroes and one white (Mexican). The offenses charged were: Murler, two; rape, two; wounding men in altercation, two; killing officers of the law, three. The states in which yachlings occur and the number of each state are is follows: Louisiana, two; Mississippi, three; Missouri, one; New Mexico, one; Texas, two.

Fake Sleuth Gets New Occupation Longshoreman Sent to Penitentiary for Indefinite Term William Gray, 39, who lives around at 278 Wect 127th street, is a longshoreman. And laboring around the docks is not an exciting occupation, according to William. Too, it could pay better, you'll conclude, if you take Mr. Gray's word for it. Now, the life of a cop is much more interesting. Acting with that belief in mind, Gray entered an apartment at 261 West 128th street and accosted Joseph Wright. "I'm Detective Jenkins," he informed the old man. The tenant was advised that Gray's accomplice was Detective Hogan. The two searched Wright, took $10 from him and finally returned the money. The thing could be quashed for $50 or $60 or Wright could get a terrible beating, he was further enlightened. The two left the house when the expected bribe was not forthcoming. On trial Friday in Special Sessions Gray pleaded guilty. Yes, a man needed excitement and money, he explained. Giving him the opportunity to play another role, one somewhat confining, however, the court sentenced him to an indefinite term in the penitentiary. HEMAN PERRY, ATLANTA LIFE FOUNDER, SUCCUMBS KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 31 (ANP)—Heman Perry, financier and business organizer, who six years ago headed three of the largest Negro enterprises in the South at Atlanta, died here Friday of heart disease at the age of fifty-five. He had risen from a poorly educated Houston, Tex., lad and cotton sampler to the position where he was referred to as the "Atlanta millionaire" and "financial wizard." Perry was never married. Perry launched the Standard Life Insurance Company June, 1913, which grew to be the largest Negro insurance company in the world. At that time, the Negro insurance industry of business. Spurred by success in insurance, Perry formed in 1921 the Service Company, a corporation with a capital of $100,000, the purpose of which was to equip and operate a chain of laundries and dry cleaning plants in various cities and to promote other industries among Negroes. This was followed by the establishment of the Citizens' Trust Company, with a capital stock of $250,000 and a surplus of $250,000. In 1925 financial conditions in Georgia, bad loans and frozen assets of the Service Company led to a crash. He saw the the Standard Life Insurance Company pass into the hands of white capitalists and the Service Company wrecked. Only the Citizens' Trust Company survived, and the man who was the founder in each was on the outside. He came here and was staging a comeback in insurance when stricken.

Campbell, who has been serving a sentence of sixty days for violating the prohibition laws, sawed his way to liberty, but before his departure he wrote the city marshal a note telling him that he had completed his sentence and was going out to make his fine and Brooklyn Police Accused of Laxity Janitor, Who Saved Girl, Says He Was Not Even Questioned Belief that the prominence of the attacker of an eleven-year-old Jewish school girl had led to the hushing of the affair by the child's parents and the end of the investigation by Brooklyn police at Bath Beach station was expressed Thursday by Oyidio Mellot, 2025 79th street, Brooklyn, a janitor whose battle thwarted the attack last week. Mellot is caretaker of Yeshihah of Benzilhurst, a Jewish parish school of Old Street and 2025 Avenue, Brooklyn. The child was attacked Monday of last week by a well-dressed man who attempted to force his way into the washroom with her at the school. The janitor attacked the intruder with his fists, drove him into his limousine and clung to the running board until knocked off after the car struck a taxicab. Mellot declares he has not even been questioned by police, though Detective Farrell of Bath Beach has been assigned to the case. He furnished an accurate description of the man and gave the license number but the school authorities, the parents and police have not continued any investigation, he said.

Bring Tin Pan Troupe From La. for Party NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31—An orchestra of four little street walls, who make music about life, man and nature, again with the premiere at a wealthy Philadelphia's New Year's house party. The man, who guards his identity, designated Flo Field, New Orleans author, to pilot the urchins to Philadelphia, after buying them their first overcoats. They departed last Wednesday still wearing the rags familiar to the old French quarter, where they eke out a living from the nickels and dimes that shower upon them after each pot, pan and bottle "Blues." Honey Brown Not Dead as Reported Rumors of the death of Honey Brown, film star of King Vidor's new talkin' picture, "Hallelujuh," which is being produced at Hollywood, Calif., with an all-Negro cast, were proven in error, following an investigation, by The Amsterdam News, Saturday. Miss Brown, who has been very ill with influenza for the past two weeks, was reported to have died Thursday. On the contrary, she is rapidly improving and may be out of her bed at the end of the week, accusing her sister, Mrs. Sterling Cox, 783 St. Nicholas avenue, with whom Miss Brown makes her home while in New York. "I received a telegram from Honey herself on Friday," said Mrs. Conway. "She said she was receiving the best attention, getting along fine, and for us not to worry." Mrs. Conway is the wife of one of the Conway Brothers, musicians, who are now engaged at the Will Oakland Chateau, a night club at Ninety-seventh street and Broadway. Inquiry at Club Harlem, 129th street and Lenox avenue, where Miss Brown was a dancer, revealed that the death rumor had been received there also, but that no confirmation had been received from Hollywood. Mrs. Conway remarked that King Vidor has been pleased with her sister's work in the new picture and that another production is contemplated. The Brown sisters were born in Chicago. Their parents have been dead since 1912. Honey Brown is the wife of Jimmy Tyler, former head waiter at the Capital Palace Night Club, 140th street and Lenox avenue. Grace Johnson, 30, 592 Lenox avenue, attempted to take her life Friday evening by drinking a quantity of C.N. Patrolman Freeman of the West 135th street station summoned Dr. Papazor from Harlem Hospital, who administered treatment. Despondency was given as the probable cause of the woman's act. Bernstein surrendered to the police Dec. 20, three months to the very day of the night Holstein was taken from the hallway of 225 West 146th street by five armed men, blindfolded and spilted away in an automobile to an unknown place where he was detained for seventy-two hours. Saturday, December 20, three other white men, and Rudolph Brown, 32, then living at 211 West 140th street, were arrested and charged with the kidnapping. The police were unable to find the gangsters' rendezvous and Bernstein was released under $8,000 ball with "instructions" to free Holstein. This was done, Holstein returning to Harlem alone. Bernstein's ball was increased to $10,000, which was afterward forfeited when he was "kidnapped" on his way to Heights Court on Oct. 1. The other defendants were released when Holstein failed to identify them. Attorney James D. C. Murray, white, 117 West-Tenth street, representing Bernstein, pleaded for lower ball on the strength of his client's voluntary surrender. Assistant District Attorney John R. Hennels told the court that District Attorney Banton had requested high ball to assure Bernstein's appearance at the trial. Bernstein's Alleged Confession Detective Sergeant Battle of the West 135th street station, the arresting officer, declared that it was not altogether necessary for Holstein to identify Bernstein as one of his abductors, as the people had sufficient evidence to hold him for the Grand Jury. A full complaint was drawn up and ball was set at $25,000. The complaint reveals the full details of Bernstein's alleged confession. Supporting affidavits were signed by Detective Moore of the West 135th street station and former Detective Boyden: Charles King, Holstein's right-hand man, and Edith Wellbrock, white, 216 West Ninety-ninth street, bank clerk at the American Exchange-Irving Trust Company, 1018 East 163d street. Miss Wellbrock identified Bernstein as the man who said to her, "Kindly phone, the Chelsea Exchange Bank (135th street and Seventh avenue branch), and find out if Casper Holstein is good for $2,200." The information was refused, she said. The police were notified. King's affidavit of Sept. 25 sets (Continued on Page 3) --- It was Police Commissioner McLaughlin who appointed Samuel Jesse Battle a police sergeant at the West 135th street station on June 21, 1926, and not Police Commissioner Enright. It was Enright who told Battle point blank that he would not "make" him, and not Enright's predecessor as stated in these columns last week. Sergeant Battle is serving in plainclothes in the detective division at the West 135th street station. It was incorrectly stated in the issue of December 26 that the courtroom of Part II, General Sessions, was cleared upon request of Albert Cook, on trial for carrying a revolver. Spectators were ordered out over his protest, according to S. Martin Adelman, white, attorney for Cook. ABRAMS ACCUSED OF UNFAIR TACTICS Municipal Judge Under Fire of Woman Charging He Drove Her From Court 20. President-Justice Leary Reserves Decision in Case of Mrs. Catherine S. Lassiter Against Justice Abrams of Seventh District A Harlem judge was under fire today as Mrs. Catherine S. Lassiter, 137 West 141st street, awaited the decision of the president-justice of the Municipal Courts in the case of Justice Lewis A. Abrams, 1851 Seventh avenue, who is charged with insulting the women and driving her from the Seventh District Municipal Court. President-Justice Timothy A. Leary was expected to render some decision this week. The charges have been aired in sessions before Judge Leary for the past two weeks. Justice Abrams has been emphatic in denial of the accusation and had nearly a score of witnesses at the closed hearings. The charges arose out of court action taken by the Andilean Holding Company, 167 West 145th street, owner of the big apartment building in which Mrs. Lassler Rives. The company sought to increase the rents on the elevator apartments at 177-145 West 11st street late in 1927. Justice Abrams heard the case, with ten tenants headed by Mrs. Lassiter, who objected to the increase on the grounds that the apartments needed renovating. The jurist, nevertheless, granted the increase. It was to become effective January 1, 1928, with the reservation that certain repairs and palting be done before that time. The tenants charged that no improvements were made and withheld their rent last January and February. Action was brought against them in February before Justice Abrams, Sydney T. Christian, 240 Broadway, represented the holding company. before President-Justice Leary, she was branded as a trouble maker and ordered out of the court, not even being allowed to get her brief case and other belongings. The threat of personal prosecution by the judge and an intimation that he would put her out himself, forced her to leave the courtroom without a hearing, in the case, she told Leary. Every accusation was denied by Justice Abrams, who had court attendants and several lawyers, including Christian, to testify that he had always "given colored people fair and courteous treatment." Although the office of the President-Justice gave no information on the case, The Amsterdam News learned on reliable authority that a score of letters from a group of Harlemites were sent to the Municipal Court head protesting the general attitude of Justice Abrams and asking for action in the matter. Politics played its part in the case, it is reported, when one Republican leader, who added the tenants in their protest, would not make public any information on the case because of the impending election. During the proceedings March 3 last, Mrs. Lasitzer and the tenants charge, the defendants were summarily ordered to pay the increase and the penalty for her failure to be Mrs. Lasitzer in her governance states that she was ordered to not talk on pain of contention of court.

Rosemond, 169 West 133d street, first adviser of the Haitian Patriotic Union in America, announces that a communication from the board of officers of the central branch of the Haitian Patriotic Union, located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, tells the arrest of three radical editors, by U. S. Marines. The communication follows: "Three of our most brave co-workers and courageous elements of our big struggle against the U. S. intervention in Haiti and all over Latin America, Elie Gerin, George Pettit and Jacques Romain, editors in charge of our new and most radical newspaper, Le Pettit Impartial, were brutally arrested by the Yankee Assistant Chief of Police, General Bill Cohn, with a gang of his men (desirable U. S. Marines), and put in jail for their protests against the dirty programs, corrupt manoeuvres and rotten race prejudice of S. Imperialism. The two were put in jail and charged with publishing "outrageous" fact articles against President I. Louis Borno revealing the dirty grafts committed by the high Haitian clergy, composed of over 300 French and six Haitian priests, and also a part of the numerous crimes and burglars that have been committed by the American Marines in Haiti and its officialdom from July 27, 1915, to November 1, 1925. "The edition of November 14 of Le Petit Impairal carried the picture of our heroic star, Gen. Charlemagne Malpee, crucified on a tree, and Benoit Battaville in pieces, structures occurring October 24, 1918, at Mirelalsia, 170 miles from Port-au-Prince, and committed by U. S. Col. Hooker and a gang of Yankee Marines with machine-guns, gas bombs, airplanes, etc., meant for the destruction of the Haitian people. "We are sure that the American people ignore all those things that are taking place in Haiti. But we will say that certainly, if Haiti was in a position to equip the forces to fight against American Imperialism, it was her duty to do so as a simple measure of defense." If the predatory campaign of Wall Street's government in Haiti and Latin America is not resisted with all power at hand, a naval base will be built in the Mole St. Nicholas in order to have an additional powerful military and naval base, from which to carry on rages against all the southern republics, as well as to prepare for another titanic Imperialist conquest that will be used for further redirection of the world between the imperialist powers, always with the same basic aims of exploitation of the small nations to keep in slavery the darker races.

Ferguson went to Police Headquarters following the men's arrest and picked them out of the lineup. They were acquitted of the Bronx robbery, however. James appeared in court on crutches.

Head Intercepted—Addressees to Be Questioned An effort to take a census of all the Negroes in the world by Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for the purpose of putting over "the biggest race program ever undertaken," was apparently frustrated Thursday when Postal, Inspector C. W. Garlanah intercepted a letter being sent to Garveyites here. Thousands of copies, however, were delivered before it was discovered. Garveyites here may reprint thousands of copies of the letter and distribute them throughout the country, and the census will probably be completed if Garvey's orders are carried out. Inspector Clarahan said: "I am of the opinion that he (Garvey) has broadcast these letters to all parts of the country and will use the lists he receives in some plan that may be fraudulent." "Should we be unable to get facts about his scheme," Inspector Clarahan announced, "we will hold all mail Garvey sends through this post office and force those to whom it is addressed to call here and be identified before they can get it." The text of Garvey's letter was as follows: "My Dear Co-worker: I am sending you herewith a census list asking you to go around from house to house in your district, street or neighborhood to gather a census of all the Negro people who live there. "We are registering the name, occupation and address of every Negro in the world, so that we may perfect a world-wide co-operation to put over the biggest race program ever undertaken. "We want you to do this as an act of race love and co-operation. Mail the census sheets back to us immediately, addressed to Hon. Marcus A. Garvey, 67 Sline road, Cross Roads P.

Calzia cried for his son, Johnny, and as father and son reached the street one of the handits shot Calzia dead, and the other robber struck Johnny over the head with a revolver. The robbers escaped. So brazen was the robbery that Police Commissioner Whalen visited the East 126th street station and took personal charge of the investigation. He crisply ordered the police to "Get that man!"

Prison Population In N.Y. Decreasing Preliminary Report Made by U. S. Department of Commerce WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31. The Department of Commerce makes the following announcement for the State of New York concerning results of the 1927 census of state prisons and reformatories. The eight New York institutions had a total of 2,917 prisoners received from the courts during the year 1927, as compared with 3,188 in the year 1910. The decrease in the number of prison admissions in New York between 1910 and 1927 was relatively greater than the growth in the State's population during the same period, as shown by the fact that the prisoners received from the courts in 1927 numbered 25.5 per 100,000 of population, as compared with 35 in 1910. The number of prisoners confined in the New York State penal institutions on Jan. 1, 1928, was 7,531, as compared with 7,073 on Jan. 1, 1910; and the ratio of such prisoners per 100,000 of general population decreased from 77.6 on Jan. 1, 1910, to 65.5 on Jan. 1, 1923. Of the prisoners received from the courts in New York during the year 1927, 2,330 were males and 387 were females; and of the prisoners present on Jan. 1, 1928, 6,917 were males and 614 were females. These figures are based on reports furnished by the institutions, through the co-operation of the State Department of Correction. The figures for 1927 and 1928 are preliminary and subject to correction. N. Y. AND N. J.

WILLIAM PICKENS Will Report on Work of N.A.A.C.P. ADMISSION FREE COME EARLY The college speaker clashed on the subject: "Resolve That Race Prejudice Can Be Eminated." No decision was rendered at the close of the arguments on the debate was taken up from the door. John King Fairbairn white, whose club took the affirmsive, declared that race prejudice, which makes its expression mainly in color antagonism in America, is simply a form of group defense. He whites oppose the Negro became his color distinguishes him as different and his education and standards of living are below that of the dominant group. Thorough association of the white man's culture and intermingling with his social order will do much toward the solution, he asserted. Robert E. Burrill and Robert T. Bardridge of Howard took the stand that elimination of race or color prejudice is impossible. Men are born with a disposition toward race antagonism, they asserted in their arguments. With all the education and enlightenment in the North, the Southern whites are able to sway their Northern brothers into Dixie's way of thinking on the Negro question, the debaters brought out. When Henry M. Fox, Harvard Jewish student, advanced the theory that the Southern whites have no inform prejudice and were their "hammers," he was assailed by the opposition. He was reminded that the Negro is liked and even friendly assistance by the Southerner as long as he does not assert himself as an equal. Education and knowledge of the history and gifts of the Negro people were offered by the affirmative in the practical solution. Gilbert E. Roe, white, acted as chairman during the debate and the discussion. Scoring the theory that prejudice cannot be eliminated, two white men, one from Alabama and another from Florida, declared they had shaken off the traditions and beliefs of their states and accepted all men on perfect terms of equality. Bailiff that the politicaliments would break own racial boundaries was expressed by other white and colored person. Approximately 200 persons heard the debate, which was sent to the public.

Bernstein Held in Holstein Kidnapping (Continued from Page 1.) forth that after the kidnapping he and Detective Moore called at Bernstein's office at 1251 Washington avenue on Sept. 22, when Bernstein questioned him about the $3,200 check, which was said to have borne Holstein's signature and made out to a man named Keller, alleged gangster from Chicago. Bernstein maintained that Holstein had given this check to Keller for alcohol, which King denied. King then told Bernstein he knew Holstein had been "taken for a ride" and that he was willing to pay for his release, the statement reveals. Bernstein denied any knowledge of the kidnapping, saying that he just dealt in alcohol and was only inquiring about the check as a favor to Keller. Bernstein admitted, King declares, that he (Bernstein) had started some trouble and that he intended to go through with it. King and Moore left the office and returned at 6 p.m., when they were told that Keller demanded $50,000 ransom. King announced that Holstein had been overrated, that he was not worth even $20,000 and that it was very doubtful if he could raise $10,000. Bernstein was asked to reduce the ransom money and the gang would be paid off. King insisted that he must first see Holstein before handling over any money. Bersten then showed King telegrams taken from Holstein's pockets to prove that the gang was actually hoiling him. "This is getting serious," Bernstein is quoted as saying to King. "This bunch are from Chicago and are very tough characters." He warned Khalifa that if the police were nothed Hollins would be murdered, "I can't do anything," he said. Detective Keller stated that Bernstein told him that Keller had asked him to p to the bank to inquire about Holstein's check. Boyden's affidavit quotes Bernstein's alleged confession as follows: "I, Rudolph Brown and another colored man, the name of Boiwin, and another white fellow planned the kidnappery while we were in a restaurant at 126th street and Seventh avenue." Brown denied any complicity in the affair, saying that it was his partnership in the business of "numbers" bankin; that had involved him. "We plan the kidnapping about two weeks before it happened," the statement continues. "We were in front of Holstein's place two nights before, but the time was not ripe. The night it happened I was in my car and followed Holstein to 146th street. Rudolph got out of the car at 146th street and Seventh avenue, and the other joined fellow stood at 146th street and Eighth avenue. After they put Holstein in the car I went to my cice, and a man by the name of HI put Holstein in the car." Bernstein has no police record, it is said. tion hors.

Divorce Raider's Appeal Up Today Divorce Raider's Appeal Up Today Detective Boulin Will Oppose Comm. McNulty for License Renewal The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear today (Wednesday), the case of Herbert S. Boulin, a private detective tamed for his Harlem divorce raids, 110 East 125th street, against Deputy Secretary of State McNulty, who is also commissioner of licenses for detective agencies, who will be asked to show cause for refusing to renew Detective Boulin's license in May. 1928. The denial of the license grew out of a divorce raid August 2, 1927, upon premises 101 West 126th street, where John Lloyd Brown, 484 St. Nicholas avenue, is said to have surprised his wife Lucy in the company of Hallam Yearwood of the former address. Boulin had rented a room in the apartment where the raid took place. The charges of assault against Boulin were dismissed, but the renewal of Boulin's license was delayed pending the outcome of the investigation. On Monday, May 14, 1928, Commissioner McNulty announced his decision denying Boulin a license to operate as the Boulin National Detective Agency. Immediately Boulin revealed himself as general manager of Bowen's Confidential Service, a detective agency licensed and bonded by the State of New York. Commissioner McNulty based his decision on the charge of unlawful entry, declaring that Boulin and his operative had unlawfully invaded the sanctity of Mrs. Brown's home. Mrs. Brown, however, entered no charges against the detective. The commissioner's decision was looked upon by the Federation of Licensed Detectives of New York State, of which Boulin is the only Negro member, as a nullification of the divorce laws of the state, for if the decision were upheld any detective agency would become liable to a revocation of its license on the ground of unlawful entry without a warrant. Boulin employed the services of Attorney Richard E. Carey, 2376 Seventh avenue, and took his case to the Supreme Court, where Judge Sherman signed an order commanding Commissioner McNulty to submit his records of Boulin's case to the Appellate Division and show cause for his action.

According to Boulin, Commissioner McNulty asked him to drop the case with the understanding that his license would be renewed. Boulin was about to agree when, it is reported, he discovered that Commissioner McNulty had put private detectives on his trail to investigate his business and his character. Boulin then resumed his action of appeal with renewed vigor. The hearing will start at 2 p. m. today at the Appellate Division, Madison avenue and Twenty-fifth street. Boulin was at one time employed by the United States Department of Justice and the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Detective Scott of the West 155th The "Black Gold" Cabaret Raided The "Black Gold" Cabaret Raided Alleged Owner Held for Volstead Violation—Several Sent to Workhouse Led by Police Lieut. Pfeiffer, Detectives Hunter, Sternweiss and Kennelly of Inspector Ryan's staff raided "The Black Gold," an alleged "speakeasy" at 125 West 127th street, formerly known as the "Lulu Belle," where they arrested eleven women and seventy-three white and colored men on charges of disorderly conduct, early Sunday morning. The alleged owner of the place, who gave his name as Sam Craig, was arrested on a charge of violating the Volstead Act, when the raiders found a quantity of liquor behind a bar. He was held for arraignment in the Federal Court. Miss Louise Johnson, 72, 250 West street station took charge of the prisoner. According to the story told the police by Miss Williams, Clemens made advances to her at a dance ball and she repulsed him. After the dance Clemens, she said, persisted in his unwelcomed attentions and followed her to the street, insisting upon escorting her home. He continued to annoy her, as far as 129th street and Lenox avenue, where the girl drew a knife from her coat pocket and slashed at him. Clemens tried to ward off the blows and struggled with her. She stabbed him in the side, and as her hat fell off in the struggle she plunged the knife into his back, the police say she related. She ran, but in her haste she forgot her hat, which had her name in it. Clemens died in Harlem Hospital an hour later. Detectives Haeser. Nametz and Short of the West 123d street station were soon on the scene and found the girl's hat. About thirty witnesses furnished a complete description of the girl, and after a search of the neighborhood she was seen going into premises 121 West 129th street. Detectives seized her as she reached the second floor. At the station house Miss Williams was identified by several witnesses. She broke down and confessed, the detectives said.

THREE Metropolitan Life Recalls Jim-Crow Order NEWARK, Dec. 31.—As a result of the very vigorous protest made against the segregation of Negro policymakers of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in New Jersey by Dr. W. G. Alexander and G. B. Darby, editor of the Newark Herald, an order has been issued from the general office of the Metropolitan in New York for the restoration of the policymakers to their former status. After registering complaint in behalf of the policymakers in the Oranges, Dr. Alexander brought the matter to the attention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary and Atty. W. T. Andrews, special legal assistant, asked for and received a personal conference with Mr. Fiske, a vice-president of the Metropolitan. Mr. Flake advised them that an order would be immediately issued countermanding the unauthorized order given by some one in the Orange office. This late order had compelled Negro policyholders in the Oranges, Bloomfield and other places to go to Newark for the payment of their premiums.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1929 HOUSEWES EXCHANGE LIVER, with its wealth of vitamins and mineral salts, is one of the best foods for building up the blood. A special diet rich in calves' liver has been found strikingly beneficial for those suffering from pernicious anemia, not only calves' liver, but that of beef, pigs' liver and kidneys, chicken liver, calves' and beef hearts are recommended by leading physicians. Calves' liver is very tender and delicate and, therefore, popular with many; on the other hand, beef, pig and chicken livers, kidneys and hearts can be prepared if properly prepared and are often less expensive. Keep in mind that a varied and balanced diet is just as important as ever. I mean a diet in which milk, fruits, vegetables, cereals and eggs are well represented. Different Ways to Serve Liver. Liver opens a new phase of cookery yet untried. For this reason I am glad to recommend a variety of dishes that I have tested. First, the old-time favorite dish of calves' liver and bacon has recently assumed virtues beyond any that our forepresents we suspected. CREAM MILKER and bacon offers a newer way of serving the old-time broiled liver and bacon. Disc one pound of calves' liver dredge in seasoned flour and then saute in four tablespoonfuls of melted fat, together with one teaspoonful of finely chopped onion until almost tender. Meanwhile, prepare two cupfuls of well-seasoned thin, white sauce, using two cupfuls of milk, four tablespoons of fat and four tablespoons of flour. Pour over the liver in the saucepan, stir well and heat. Serve on toast, garnished with six slices of broiled bacon. This recipe makes six portions. Those present were: Mrs. Martin Collins, Miss Naomi Cooper, Mr. Al Norton, Miss Pauline Ward, Mrs. Neal O'Jon, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ward. Mr. and Mrs. Howard D. Ward, S13 St. Nicholas avenue, entertained the visitors at dinner on Sunday evening. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. Ward and daughter, Antonette, Mr. and Mrs. George L. McIntyre.

Clean the livers and cut each one in quarters. Wrap a thin slice of bacon around each piece and, if necessary, fasten with a skewer or toothpick. Arrange on a broiler rack and broil until the bacon is crisp, turning once. If preferred, sauté in a hot frying pan, turning frequently till the bacon is crisp. Onions Stuffed With Liver. For onions stuffed with liver, skin six Spanish or Bermuda onions. Cut a slice from the top of each and cook on the center. Cover the onion cups with rolling tissue and cook very gently until almost tender. (It is better to steam than boil.) Meanwhile, wipe three-quarters of a pound of beef liver with a damp cloth and put through a meat grinder. Add one tablespoon of finely chopped onion, one teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper and one tablespoon of tomato catchup. Refill the onions with this mixture, sprinkle the tops with buttered bread crumbs and bake in a hot oven. This recipe serves six. Harry Curtis, Frederick Whiting.

However, most cases can be remedied by a little attention. Wash your face in hot water with castile soap. Many soaps are far too strong for sensitive skins. Dry carefully but do not irritate.

And here is a remedy which has helped many. Dip a piece of absorbent cotton in some castor oil and rub it on the lumpy surface. As a scattering agent castor oil is excellent.

In many families both parents have to work for a living, leaving the children to shift for themselves during the day. This condition is conducive to delinquency and allows those who are already delinquent a chance to go further and further astray. As a result the work of the schools is hampered by troublesome children who should be put away and the courts are crowded with more than their proportionate number of Harlem cases. THE PROBLEM was investigated in 1927 by a joint committee from the Urban League and the Women's City Club. It was found that one of its causes was the lack of institutional provision for Harlem's delinquent children. There is a lack of playground space for orderly children and very little provision for incorrigibles. For white children there are the Catholic Protectory and the Children's Village, the last-named admitting only white Protestant children. For colored Protestant delinquents there is only the House of Refuge on Randall's Island, which makes no color distinction because it is supported by New York State. This place is inadequate in size and enmine CHARLES H. JOHNSON of the State Department of Charities rightly says that a new institution on Randall's Island or elsewhere should be built, equipped and maintained by the State for all delinquents, regardless of religion or color, and that citizens should urge this course upon the Governor and the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Legislature. It appears also that the State School for Girls is overcrowded, with a waiting list of both colored and white girls. It is even more important to control the State's juvenile delinquents than it is to control its adult delinquents. exercise. One very delightful form of exercise is tap dancing. Not only is it a good means of increasing the circulation, but it is also a very popular form of modern amusement. Take brisk walks in the fresh air. Inhale deeply and let the air go all the way down. Sleep with your window open so that the air can circulate about the room. It will tone up your complexion wonderfully. important details.

Girls, don't talk about your other boy friends and acquaintances to your sweetheart. He doesn't want to hear about them. That's that! Boys, the same I say to you. The less you have to say to Ann about Ruth, the better Ann will like it, especially if what you have to say is favorable. Keep your past to yourself. It's had enough that you have to be annoyed with it. Why annoy others? The above advice holds good for you. Let your experience be a lesson and in the future hold your tongue. Why hurt people you love unnecessarily.. Even though a girl knows her beau has been interested in a dozen other girls, she doesn't want it rubbed in. She wants to shut her eyes to his past.

NEW YORK BestAmusementPages in Greater New York Drake Comes Up Smiling CONFIDENT of his ability to recoup the losses which were result of his attempt to operate the old Apollo Theatre on 12:58 street, Henry Drake has sent wishes for a happy New Year to all those who wished him well in his efforts. As we pointed out last week, Drake was surrounded by unfortunate circumstances, to say nothing of operating in a theatre which added nothing to efforts he was putting forth in trying to divert some of the dollars of his own people to the pockets of some of their own. From the Hippodrome at Potts-town, Pa., where his show appeared last week, with Pittsburgh, Detroit, Youngstown, Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago to follow, the following letter came: Dec. 25, 1928. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty. We cannot let the season pass without an expression in this practical form. I thank your wonderful paper for its business dealings with my 125th street theatre, and the kind remarks and publicity that you gave us. We also thank our dear patrons, both colored and white, who attended our theatre during our stay. We would like nothing so well as to be with you and New York always, but since this cannot be we are leaving for the road but will return another day. Every member of the Drake and Walker organization joins me in wishing you and the entire staff a very happy New Year. Very truly yours. DRAKE & WALKER CO. Per H. Drake, Manager. THERE are some circumstances over which we have no control, and when the fact is the majority of our people are apathetic to the effort on the part of an individual to step out from the rank and file and attempt to do something in a big way, it can be readily seen how hard must have been the road for the genial Henry Drake. Had Mr. Drake cast his fortunes among the whites and made a success, his colored breathen would have smashed the doors trying to let him know how much they think of him. The Case or Mr. Hayes Which reminds us of the case of Roland Hayes. Hayes was just as wonderful a singer in the days when he went among his own people seeking to get a hearing, and in many cases for the small surge of twenty-five cents a head. They failed to see him but when he made his hit and the white folks told of his ability it was all over. His own would wear out concrete making tracks to sit under the spell of his voice, most of them to be able to say they heard him sing. When Paul Robeson used to sing for a special few not moved with a desire for social prominence, it would have been financial suicide for one of his own, moved with a desire for the masses and classes to hear him, to have attempted to present him to colored audiences. But now, A.I. Which brings to mind another clint via Roland Hayes. Down there in Wartburg they feel that Hayes should take up the burden of the race and refuse to appear because his own are forced to sit in the peanut gallery. The inconsistency of the thing is so evident we wonder how people calling themselves intelligent would have the nerve to embarrass the man to that extent. As a singer he is doing a great deal more towards softening the hardness of race prejudice than a gang of those leaders hollering FRONT from BEHIND. Pays Him $100 Per Day OHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 23 (By The A. N. P.)-Henry W. Starr, well-known pianist and entertainer of San Francisco, and his wife, arrived here last Thursday to remain with him. No one named Notcher, millionaire, co-owner of the Boston Store, one of Chicago's largest department stores, attracted by Starr's artistic ability, had brought him to Chicago to entertain his guests at a series of parties he planned. Mr. Notches paid Mr. Starr $100 a day and bore all expenses, including transportation, until their return to California. In the West, Mr. Starr who lives in San Francisco, the suburb of Pico's, has a favorite artist at the Hopkins Hotel and a staff performer for KFCR.

BISHOP AMONG STARS OF 'DEEP HARLEM' Josephine Baker Says News of Marriage Is Joke Popular Member of American Colony THE WEEKLY NEWS MISS ALBERTA HUNTER, of Whom It Is Said There Is No More Popular Member of the Colored American Colony in London, Is Shown Above in Her Latest Picture. Miss Hunter Has Been a Member of the "Show Boat" Company Ever Since It Opened in England.

The Matter Was Ironed Out to the Satisfaction of All Concerned and She Remained With the Ziegfeld Show. Josephine Says P. Abatino Is Not Her Husband Insists They Did Not Fight in Germany—The Good Doctor Priere Arrested PARIS, Dec. 22—Mlle. Josephine Baker was returned from Berlin to be bailed out by the Terrorist Organization of the Filles Bergere, who delighted Parisians for two years with her eccentric Charleston dance and her charming smile, explained graciously to a Journal reporter yesterday just by she hurried back to this issue. Josephine came back just in time to participate in the trial of Dr. Gaston Priere, director of her Montmartre cabaret. Dr. Priere was arrested a week ago charged with defrauding insurance companies. Before her arrest, she was very well known physician during his spare hours is said to have advised many people to play at being injured so that they could collect money from their respective insurance agents. A good share of this money was Priere pocketed himself, it is alleged. "Poor Doctor Prieur," said Josephine. "To have found him in so sad a state: I'm so sorry for him, my dear. Don't laugh, honey. I really am so sorry about him. What a fine fellow he is. Always a swell dresser and oh, what a good dancer!" Josephine pinched her remarks with much serious gum chewing. Just Had to Kiss Him. "When I saw him, I just ran up to him and kissed him. I just had to cheer him up, poor boy. I could have kissed his lawyers too, because they are doing so much for him. There's Mattheo Mannaud, who has a fine beard, and Mattheo Andre Berthon, who snakes so nicely, and Mattheo Jacques Abou, who is so nice a boy. The doctor just must be saved from punishment, honey. Because his patients need him so! And how wonderfully he can dance. My manager, Prince Pepin, Abou, who was with me, was just as sad as I was. He also kissed the doctor." "But," said the reporter from Le Journal, "I thought Prince Pepin Abou was your husband." Josephine forgot her troubles and laughed delightfully. "That was just a good joke, honey. I just never married the prince. Ain't that funny? Nope, old dear, Pepito is just my manager, that's all, just my manager. And all those stories about my fighting with him in Berlin are not true at all, my dear. They are lies." "It was the Berlin people who said those things about me. And they treated me just like I was a real Parisienne. Yes, they did, boner!" Harmony Kings Continue in Spotlight in United Kingdom GLASGOW—The Four Harmony Kings—Messrs. Ivan Browning, W. H. Berry, Chas. E. Prayton and Geo. H. Dosher—continue the winning of high appreciation in their tour of the United Kingdom. The Glasgow Herald, speaking of their appearance at the Pavilion here, says: "Public appreciation awarded 'top of the bill' to an American quartet of artistic colored singers, the Four Harmony Kings, themselves to the music which belongs peculiarly to their music, they sang plaintive plantation melodies, expressive and richly harmonized; jazz items, wondered with amusing tones and humor, and Go Down, Mosses," a Negro spiritual. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1929 "The last, which was perhaps the most enjoyable of all, was sung by the bass of the quartet in a rich, well-controlled voice, and with the simplicity and sincerity which are the essential of the spiritual." At Harlem By OBS At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER With Andrew Tribble, Billy Mitchell "Miss Ophilia Snow" opened at the Lincoln Theatre for the holiday week on Monday. A riot of fun presents a presentation of this offering at Miss Ophilia and indications point to another big week at the popular little house. One of the most popular screen artists will be the star of the feature film opening at the Lincoln on four day run. Lon Chaney who in for four days prides himself on being an amateur shows his culinary prowess for the first time in his new picture, "While the City Sleeps." This is the big goldwyn-Mayer production which stillain Lincoln fans the latter half of the week. As the detective hero, Chaney comes home with his own dinner and cooks it in his bachelor apartment. Instead of cooking three minute eggs Chaney cooks ten minute eggs and grinds out ten feet of film then he manipulates the chicken fruit. The story of his work as a detective also unfurls a vivid romance of New York police and gangsters, in which much of the inside of the local police operations are shown. Anita Page is the heroine of the new film, and a most notable cast appears in support of the stars. AT THE ALHAMBRA "Hello, 1920" is the musical revue with which the Alhambra comedians and girls greet the New Year. Record breaking crowds applauded Billy Collins' Johnny Lee Long in their efforts to keep the city alive. There's a quartet whose efforts are about half in fun and half in earnest. It includes Manda Randolph, Alma Travis, Doris Rheubottom and Diment. "Black Jack" is a song traverse, in which the sixteen Alhambra Girls strut and Ted Blackmon and Willie Bryant do some nimble stepping. Margaret Lee, popular Harlem somebird, is now added to the Alhambra forces. "Silver" is the drama, tells of a dear old mother, unwanted by her grown-up children, and obliged to make her way "over the hill to the porchhouse." Susie Sutton, as the mother, earned hearty applause. "The Garron, as The Girl He Couldn't Buy," supplies the attractive picture feature of the triple program. The Alhambra Next Week "The Ghost Hotel," the drama at the Alhambra next week, will be unusual because the chief part will be played by that extraordinary comedienne, Manda Randolph. It's a queer, creepy mystery play, full of thrills and excitement, and yet abounding in fun of a kind that Manda Randolph can supply; so, for the one week she is out of the rescue and stops daily into the drama. "The Surprise Party" will provide the musical comedy; King Banker entertains his Harlem friends, and AT THE LINCOLN Bishop to Join "Deep Harlem" Leading Dramatic Actor at Alhambra Among Prominent Names Submitted for Show In a list of names submitted to the Amsterdam News the latter part of last week as members of "Deep Harlem" for its commig invasion of Broadway, a number of well-known actors were discovered on the stage. Prominent among the names appear are Andrew Bishop, former star of the famous Lafayette Players and for the past few months the big lead of the Alhambra Theatre dramatic playlets. Among other prominent artists to be with the show when it opens on the big street are Helleppe and Stilke, Marcel Bloch, Earnest Wilson, Billy Andrews, Wilson and a host of others that have won applause in some of the best houses of the country. It is said on what we accept as the best authority that the show will be whipped into shape during the next week or two, the things and adding will be carefully done, and a group of town the trek will start for the Street of Hope, known in ordinary parlance of Broadway. From the manner in which they have ben working, observers are led to believe that, upon this venture, Messrs. Whitney and Tutt are pining for the hopes of a generation, breed beffreasted with the hope that them what they feel is good enough reason to warrant the big attempt at this time. When first put together the vehicle was the basis of the hopes of Earl Dancer to attempt to return to Broadway to recoup the sustained when he offered 'African American' the acting audience of the downtown district. Following is the list of names as submitted upon the request of the theatrical department of this paper: "DEEP HARLEN" (Principal) Book and Lyrics by WHITNEY AND TUTT Music by JOE GORDON and Dances by HENRY S.

Billy Higgins, Johnny Lee Long and Pigmeat will be the chief funsters. The pictures starting Monday will include "The Raider Emden," the soational portrayal of the exploits of the German navy during the World War. This is one of the most startling films ever tested. Also there will be Charlie Chaplin's famous comedy, "Behind the Screen." AT THE LAFAYETTE Clarence Robinson, who has gained a great deal of popularity because of the entertaining revues which he has from time to time presented at his favorite theatre, returned to his favorite house with "Cocktails of 1829" and scored another hit right from the start. On account of this publication going to press earlier than usual because of the New Year holiday, it has a physical impossibility to do other than entertain the enthusiasm of the large crowd on moon and immediately run to press minus the detailed information on the show. However, Clarence has the satisfaction of seeing his offering set off to a splendid start, ably feature film "The Woman Disputed" or Norma Talladale in the leading role. Rector and Cooper are returning to the Lafayette next week in "Chocolate Blondes." The friends of these popular dancers are glad to see them return to favor after their break. The Alhambra before that house went into new hands some time ago. The week of January 14 the Lafayette Theatre will offer its parade a vehicle done by Earl Burke the showman in Green in the feature position. Earl has been busy getting set for what he hopes will be one of the best BY SPECIAL REQUEST!

CHICAGO, Ill.—Garland Anderson after a semi-circle of railies else where, found real favor, when he launched his bell-hop drama at the Princess Theatre in Chicago last Monday week, December 25, and allowed his audience to first colored dramatic playwright, who had formerly landed his play on Broadway, in Gotham, to be able to realize that he had come and conquered in the critical Windy City, where audiences have barren respect for literal satire. What was prontible to his visionary purpose was his ability to realize the reason behind because he had written from a true inception is alone worthy of comment in unfolding a story which carried with it an object to reach the goal. Omitting discussion of the story and play as an inter-rational paragon delving in laws of nature with its primal interest and returning to the nature of bearing upon humanity and humor interspersed by the genial art of racial naturalness, one can easily understand the reasonable value of its presentment. The characters, which are all white, except the bell-hop, maid and porter, the latter played by Doe Doe Green, complete the cast, the ability, who moves to be a very good actor, as well, especially in his mimery of stagecraft and exudence of racial coloring, for, in the courtroom scene of the second act, he pictured humor and reality as a most important ray. Darlo Shindell as the bell-phone, an English-Austrian by birth, with dark eyes and a sallow face, was a good actor in the art sense and reading of his lines, if not susceptible in twang of racial lineage, and, while he does things he has done in some times. The sound pictures have found favor with the Lafayette and the near future will include tables to be offered here at this house.

This is none other than the big musical comedy "Justice Allie," which for the last five months has been delighting huge audiences in New York and Boston. Few musical plays have come to Jamaica with such enthusiastic endorsement on the part of the New York newspaper critics as this one, quote the accused reviewer, "This play has everything," and truly this seems to be the truth, when it is taken into con- not appeal to colored people as a race type.

"Appearances" offering, with a radial touch that is sunny. Of the genre, all the people were very good actors, especially the lawyer and the girls, who were pretty and stylish.

P.—The "big time" vaudeville circuits are following the lead of the dramatic side of the theatricals in opening the door wider to colored performers, in the opinion of Rube Shelton, partner in the veteran star act of Fiddler and Shelton. After a reirement of eight years from the dissolved partnership, Shelton and Fiddler are together again doing their Chinaman and colored straight performance, which years ago was known from coast to coast. "Vaudeville looks with some apprehension upon the invasion of the talks, with their short sketches of the vaudeville type. Mr. Shelton constructs are being offered to four performers, particularly the old standard acts. I do not fear the talks. They have thus far proven totally unsatisfactory to the audences and their mechanical features and presentation will never enable them to rival personal appearances."

No Reason Given for Dropping Gilpin European Notes By Ivan H. Brownning Mrs. Frances Mann of Chicago, after a most enjoyable stay in London, has returned to Paris and is busy as usual with her studies. Mrs. Ella Hutchinson and daughter arrived in London on the S. S. Majestic Friday evening, both looking the picture of health after a delightful stay in New York. Miss Crystal Byrd, who has been visiting in London for the past month or so, left a few days ago for the South of France to join her sister, Miss Bridle Bryd, who is spending the winter there. Miss Pearl Adams, Washington school teacher, who is studying in London this year, left a few days ago for Berlin where she will spend the holidays. Sam Woolling and his clever band opened December 24 in Nice at the big Hotel Negresco for three months. The Southern Trio open in Ireland New Year's at one of the big cinemas. "Slow Kid" Thompson is a big success at the Embassy Club in Paris. Willie Tyler famous violinist, has arrived in Paris to join the popular Penny Payne Orchestra. Mrs. Tyler accompanied her husband. Rufus Greenlee's "Chocolate Bon Bons" are at the Admiral Palabst, Oslo, Norway, and are a tremendous hit. They are the Misses Thelma Greene and Roberta Lowery. Edith Wilson, who has been touring with Sam Wooding band, is greeting the holidays in Paris. The illness of King George in London at this time has indeed put a damper on things. People in the country no longer do any sadness in England these days, and from the appearance of things it looks like a very quiet Xmas and the serious illness of his Majesty. In case of his death (which everyone is praying will not happen and that the entire country will go into immediate mourning) for many months and there will be a terrible depression and an slump generally around England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

No doubt Chappy Gardner of the Pittsburgh Courier) in writing Mr. Ziegfeld with regards to his not advertising his Negro artists in Showbowl is voicing the sentiment in himself to be more interested in the Negro artists. I made mention of this fact quite some time ago. I am glad to know that Mr. Gardner has written Mr. Ziegfeld because Showbowl does not mean a thing in New York nor London, but especially Diedoe and Robeson. Negro artists who are really capable should simply demand a certain amount of advertising in any production they are in nowadays, because in most cases the public can see and understand Mr. Gardner's letter to Mr. Ziegfeld is indeed very interesting as well as timely. Regardless of the dull business season in England at this time the colored acts manage to keep busy as usual, and a number of them are London-based. The Edinburgh and the Four Harmony Kings are featured on the same bilt at the big Palladium Xmas week, while Layton & Johnstone are heading the bill at the Collsoum, Noble and the Scottish during the holidays and it is rumored that the popular Moss & Frye will be at the Hippodrome, Brighton, during New Year's week. I sincerely regret to announce the death of Mr. Richard Berry of Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Berry was one of the oldest and most beloved citizens. His very popular son, John, was a member of the Four Harmony Kings who are in Europe. The death of Mr. Berry's father is indeed a great shock to us. I am sure his many friends, both in Europe and America, offer him a great gift. Berry will remain in England since it is impossible for him to reach Kansas in time for the funeral. The Hon. Lady Mary Cook, who is always willing to help in her wonderful way, is paying an ex-pat woman with a big Christmas party for the poor colored children in London. An entertainment committee is being formed in order that these unfortunate children may have a holiday of Lady Cook's party at the Friends' House in Fuston Road. Those on the entertaining committee, besides Lady Cook are: Mrs. Muriel Cooke, Robertson and John G. Payne, Greene and Dayton, Four Harmony Kings, Alberta Hunter, Paul Robeson and the Southern Trio. J. Glover Campbell, popular place player of Zillis, will return to the United States some time in January to a two-month visit, accompanied by Campbell. He has been abroad for three years and has played in most of the countries Europe and for several of the usual heads. For six days he played at the Palm Beach Six at the Old Britain, the town where the Kings of Spain, the town where the Kings of members of royalty were entertained. NIGHT CLUB SHOOTING STARTLES PARIS 'Just a Minute' With Maude Russell in Jamaica Working on New Hunter Show THE NEW YORK TIMES Doughty House, Richmond, December 5, 1928. Secretary of the Friends' Society, Wendy Jones, Euston Road, London, N. W. Dear Lady Cook: Referring to our talk yesterday afternoon, I would like to say how much we appreciate your help in giving all the colored children in London a Christmas party. We were very grateful to you, and I hope some, but now with your help we shall be able to have them all. My experience last year in connection with the party made me see the great work they are doing in London and a joint committee of English residents who will be able to help in many ways the poorer colored people who are living in London. There is the need for poorer boys especially finding employment, and elder people too, for that matter, and of course amongst the colored scarsen of Connington town there is a problem. There is the difficulty of colored people being received in hotels, and we Friends have not been able to deal with this matter satisfactorily yet. There is the difficulty of colored people in the Immigration Committee, and if some of our American friends could give a benefit performance now and again there would be no difficulty in raising enough money for such work as this. So far as I can find out, there are from two to four hundred colored people living in London. The largest men living in Camden town. There are groups at Kings Cress, Deptford, and Tottenham Court Road. I from these four places that the children come to the same the same men most of the men self patent medicines and other goods in the market. I am sure that other color of people from West End could be of great help to them in many of their difficulties. With kind regards, ours singles, JOHN P. LETCHER. Association with the N. A. A. C.

Enjoy Own Show OF all the people who are attract ed to the Elfinge Theatre to see Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928," none really are more anxious to get in than the "Blackbirds" themselves. It would obviously not be belittling the merits of the production to point out that the performers enjoy it even more than the citizens who pay money at the box office to be amused. It is generally to be assumed that people who attend the theatre come in the mood for entertainment, but they have nothing on the "Blackout" mood, and the conscious mood for being happy. Considered as a dancing show, it may be said that they put in as great a kick out of it as they put in. Their native spirit, so closely approaching the stage, has strained manifestations of natural exuberance evidenced in the glory of stamping feet and strutting limbs, and the sheer ecstasy of singing hearts. To sneak figuratively, the entertainers have their ears close to the crowd, and they rates with the weird and builting communications of nature. In their wild freedom and splendid abandon, they are like children playing who have grown up, and that is why the program of joy unfolds like a funnel of joy. Real joy in work it is generally unrelated comes from a proper investment of talents; and this spirit "Tall and Well Built" Colored Woman at Seat of Shooting PARIS. The single colored dance hall here and a colored woman, known only as Renee, have come into the limelight as the result of the latest tragedy in Parisian high life. Madame Weller, daughter of a wealthy Parisian merchant, shot and killed her husband, Robert, son of Gen. Weller, early Sunday morning, hall, which is known as the Bal Blomet, where the dead man, taking a fancy to Renee, danced with her and invited her to accompany them on the floor, they were about to make to cabarets. What, if any, part Renee has played in fanning Madame Weller's jealousy, for she complained that her husband had too many women, is the reason for the rounds of several cabarets with M. Weller and his wife and a male friend of the Wellers, Renee was dropped at her, home about 4 a.m. and later Mme. Weller had killed him. Mme. Weiler, in her statement to the police, said: "At the dance hall we were, color man, tall and built, built, built, invited her to come along with us. "Then we went all four in search of a cabaret. We found one on the street, and met many peoples from strange lands, and drank a lot of champagne. "The colored woman caused a sensation in the place. My husband was in the room, and I waited while I remained with our guest." Questioned by the police, Renee said: "I did not even know their names. We remained together until I met him. I wanted to get back to my friends, and they took me home. I know nothing about them, except they lived in the neighborhood of that. I asked them nothing, and I saw nothing." The Bal Blomet closes at midnight, and Mme. Weiler gives the impression that if it had remained unhappened, "Unhappily," she says, "the place closed at midnight, and we had to go elsewhere." The Negro dance is in great fashion in the resort by fashionable Parisians and white Americans. Clement Vautel, noted columnist, says of the incident: "Negroes are quite fashion now, and truly Parisian, are smeed with the blacks." This latest murder has caused quite a stir. Mme. Weller, after sending two calls into his husband's office, followed her way into the bathroom, whither he had fled, and, putting the revolver to his ear as he lay on the floor, fired again. "I hated to see him suffer," she said, "and so I put him out of agony." of having found themselves is nightly renewed in the hearts of the performers, enveloping them with their audiences in an actual contagion of happiness. As the show goes on, month after month the enthusiasm begot of close kinship in a spirited enterprise makes itself felt in a growing sense of companionship among the entertainers, resulting in a stronger appreciation of each other and the audience themselves; a framework of talent and accomplishment riding high on its own momentum. Small wonder that the "Blackbirds" enjoy their own show. Grace Giles Dancing School Opens Miss Grace Giles opened her dancing school a few weeks ago with the largest attendance ever. It seems our people are more interested in the importance of teaching their children the art of dancing. There were nearly four hundred children at the opening, with more coming every week. It has been a great success. We have regular school, where pupils may come from all over the world to enter. At present it is impossible to accommodate all the pupils. We join the school. Grace Giles school is now reported to be the largest colored dancing school in American. Many advanced pupils are now on Broadway, and many are on the stage. 1928."

N. P.)-Charles Gilpin was in, and is out, of another motion picture production. This time "The Man in the White Hat" in which he has been supplanted by George Reed, who has been popular in motion picture circles out this way for some years. Gilpin was slated with the original cast of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," but was mysteriously relieved of his work shortly after he had started to work. No explanation has been offered for the release of the present production. The correspondent in the California Eagle writes: "We do not profess to know the real story of the Civil War, let out. He came here with a reputation for his dramatic speech not enjoyed by many. His acting ability was unquestioned. Yet, he is our favorite character, the hundred per cent talkie. Gilpin's voice is perfect. What could have happened? Was it money matters? He was reputed to have signed a contract for $1200 a week. Was that too much?"

The Third Floor of the Negro Andrade Renaissance Orchestra of ten pieces will broadcast the weirdest jazz Harlem can turn out. Prominent race leaders, well known writers and artists, hundreds of members and artists will be on hand to lend color to the occasion and Harlem's flappers and matrons will have the opportunity to dance with men known throughout the Negro and labor worlds. The entire staff of the Negro Champion will be present, some of them coming all the way from Wash- ton, Philadelphia and Baltimore for their pearson's joyfest. Officials will be presenting a national organizer and several field organizers, will grace the occasion. Romeo L. Dougherty, sporting edition of The Amsterdam News, and many other local newspaper celebrities will be adored to have dull cares behind and come out and have real fun on Harlem's gayest night. White writers and artists and others will be on hand, too. And they are coming to see and show their full solidarity with the Negro masses, not to sit apart and dissect the Negro, while fooling themselves with pseudo-scientific consense about the issues. That kind of audience has not been invited and are frankly not wanted. A short and gala program has been arranged with several internationally famous stars participating. The Hall Johnson Choir, under the perimeter of the Mellwood Willis Singer; Paul and Thelm Meeros of Connie's Inn Revue; Doris Rheubottom, of the Alhambra, and Elizabeth Welsh of the cast of "Blackbirds," are a few of the artists who have been involved in a short and snappy program. In the meantime, the committee of arrangements in holding up its sleeve a big surprise announcement for the last week before the dance, and all they will say at present is that it will be a special annual star for whose contribution roadway managers are feverishly singing.

Marion Anderson At Carnegie Hall Much has been said and written of Miss Marion Anderson since she was introduced to the public some few years ago. All sorts of surmises and conjectures have been 'indulged in, in respect to the claims put forth of her merit, and generally the imPRESSION seemed to prevail that the novelty of color and idle curiosity accounted more for the excitement raised than her musical powers. The haze of the complexional prejudice has so much obscured the vision of many persons that they cannot see (at least there are many who affect not to see) that musical faculties and powers for their artistic development are not in the exclusive possession of the fairer-skinned race, but are shared alike through the beneficent gifts of the Creator to all His children. Besides, there are some well-meaning persons who have formed, for lack of information, erroneous and unfavorable estimates of the art capabilities of the Negro race. Miss Anderson, like the renowned Roland Hayes, we can safely say, possesses a voice of remarkable refined qualities, singular for its power, softness and depth. The followers who heard her at Carnegie Hall Sunday evening were given an opportunity to judge for themselves: her genius, energy and perseverance all combined to render Miss Anderson's work as compelling to musicians. Her performance was received with marked approbation and applause from those who know what to aplaud. Marion Anderson began her program with a group of seventeenth century composers, Purcell, Scarlatt and Martini. The latter was represented by "Plaisir d'Amour," a pleasing and charming song, which is considered his most favored one for the concert stage. Debusy's "La la la and the music duque" is like this group. Here his musculuship and highly developed technical equipment were brought to the fore. Group number 2 was represented by the German "Leider," Schubert's "De Zwerg," "Wilegenlied" and "Die Allmacht"; Schumann's "Fruhlingsnacht" and "Richard Straus" "Zuelngung." Miss Anderson's best work was done in Straus's "Zuelngung," and his sing and was followed by tumultuous applause. The artist graciously returned the compliment by reporting the number. Miss Anderson's style and diction in the rendition of the compositions of these German masters was done in a way which would no doubt be perfectly satisfactory to the authors themselves. Her low notes were sonorous and rich, especially for a female voice. Aside from Hayes, in these Miss Anderson far excels any Negro singer we have heard, her song was represented by English and the composer, the late Charles Griffes, with his "Night on Ways Unknown Has Fallen" and the two songs of Roger Quitten, "Dream Valley" and "Love's Philosophy," were sung with exquisite taste. Although the program contained some spirituals, such as were suited to the tastes of the large miscellaneous audience in attendance, they showed to an advantage the versatility of talent with a more refined interpretation of the spirituals than ordinarily is heard by the more untrained natural voice. Miss Anderson is indeed fortunate in having so capable an accompanist as William Leonard King. Great stress should be laid upon the fact that an experienced accompanist is essential to the success of an artist. A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD Home Study SO MANY adults who have been deprived of sufficient school training lack confidence in their ability to succeed in any business other than menial labor.

In the age of cheap books and libraries there is no reason why any one should lack a liberal education. A large part of every good education is gained through reading. It is the easiest and simplest method of acquiring knowledge and it may be a most valuable means of mental discipline. "The best part of every man's education," said Sir Walter Scott, "is that which he gives to himself." The education received at school is but a beginning and inasmuch as it trains the mind and habituates it to continuous application and study, it is valuable and necessary. Still, that which we acquire by our own diligent and persevering efforts is far greater than that which is "put into us" by others. To make close application to home study and mind culture will cost some resolution, some perseverance, some self-denial, but it will repay abundantly any reasonable outlay of these virtues and will be of constant service to one in the ordinary Radio News By RICHARD L Aunt Jemima, a jolly, fat old soul, will play the title role in a new series of programs which will be inaugurated in a broadcast through the N.

A woman to whom the laws of natural science are familiar finds use for them in the duties of her household. She knows not only the rules by which her culinary operations are performed, but the principles upon which the rules are based. No small portion of the labor and the mortification of the housekeeper would be avoided if the work that is done by habit should be done by reason. To devote a portion of each day to the pursuits of useful knowledge will secure for one's mind rest and relaxation from the excitement and irritations of life. If working people find themselves short of the intellectual training they need to elevate them, they should take some course of study along with their work. The benefits of home study are not mainly material. One's mind is enlarged by it. It will enable you to take a more comprehensive view of life and expel many narrowing prejudices from your mind. and Programs B.

Jones Questions concerning motor trunk and routers will be carefully answered and accompanied by a self-addressed and stamped envelope. During the past few days there were many automobiles equipped with chains to facilitate their braking and make the stopping more effective. While it is the general opinion that chains cause the operator to overestimate the efficiency of the braking power, chains are good. If a person who is operating an automobile keeps the car under control, it will trust in the ability of the chains to stop the vehicle on a slippery surface as quickly as on a dry road, he will be driving not only to the advantage of the car, but to his life as well. Chains are of little benefit onicy streets and are most effective when used in heavy snows. The excellent quality of the present day tire has made engineers say that chains are entirely unnecessary. This statement comes from those that are in the employ of the great tire manufacturers, and on tires, though, will not function in heavy snowstorms as well as a tire that is equipped with a chin. Chains have a place provided the driver is just as careful in the operation of his car with them as he would be without them. To put chains on the tires it is beat to jack the car up so as to place not be too loose. Remember that improperly adjusted chains may be very easily lost.

HIGHEST IN SERVICE LOWEST IN PRICE CAREERS FOR WOMEN. The dressmaking vocation may be divided into two classes: one person cuts, fits and makes clothes; the other plans or creates clothes. I am going to continue myself to the latter, as the ordinary dressmaker no longer can get a salary in proportion to the time she uses. The ready-made clothing stores have provided too much competition The dressmaker who can create her own patterns is always in demand. She is able to look at a customer and tell just what color of dress she wants, and what style of dress heat conforms to her figure. She is able to drape the goods on the customer and cut it. The sewing can be done later. Such a dressmaker usually has helpers and she will soon be doing multiple but designing. She must be neat, precise and quick in her use of the needle. She must be able to detect and correct defects in garments. If a girl does not like sewing, she should not undertake this occupation. She should have originally mind how she dress in her own finished and then be able to carry out this picture with her own hands. A dressmaker should be able to sketch and know color harmony. She must know the beauty of lines and be able to cut materials without damaging them in her own ability and observation, initiative and self-control will succeed. Training: A high school education is not needed for this work. Instead, a good trade school will give you the elements of dressmaking, costume designing, etc., in from two to four years. Another type of training is to become an apprentice to a good designing dressmaker and work your job with the professional work can be done with he and they can be taken on the side at any trade school. Advantages: It does not require much training. Good wages are earned even while you are comparatively young. There is also that satisfaction of creating something new and pretty. Disadvantages: The hours are long and she is apt to be so engrossed in her work that she forces her own body. The work is also hard when it is hard to find assistance to complete the close contacts necessary in fitting customers are sometimes disagreeable. A CHESTER BICKS Please come home.

Form Permanent Committee on Social Problems Among Negroes in N. Y. City Director of State Public Charities Tells of Urgent Need of Places to Send Delinquent Negro Boys and Girls From Children's Court The appointment of a permanent Committee on Social Problems Among Negroes, made up of persons of both the white and colored races who are specially interested in the improvement of health and living conditions, is announced by the Welfare Council. This Committee will undertake to coordinate the work of the various other committees engaged on any welfare problem affecting the Negro population of New York and will plan a unified social welfare program for Harlem and other sections of the city in which there is an extensive Negro population. The appointment of this Committee is in fulfillment of a recommendation growing out of a Study of Neglected and Delinquent Negro Children which revealed that negro perceptions of colored juveniles brought before the Children's Court is more than twice that of delinquent white children. recreational facilities by the citizens of New York City. "There should be in the place of the present House of Refuge a well equipped school with educational and trade opportunities for delinquent colored and white boys. Such an institution should be arranged on "The low wages paid to colored men and the high cost of decent living," declares this report, "often forces colored families to live in quarters too small and congested to make normal home life possible. Add to these factors that of the Negro mother's need to work and the resulting delinquency is not surprizing." The first meeting of the Committee on Social Problems among Negroes brought to light what all present agreed was a critical situation in Hurleum. The proportion of Negro mothers who work away from home all day, it was brought out, is much larger than any other racial group in the city. Consequently, thousands of Negro children are without parental care throughout the day; they room the streets, play truant, get into mischief, have meals very irreplaceable, have no place to play and in many cases cannot get into their homes until night when the mother returns. The situation is further complicated by the fact that there are no institutions, public or private, in New York City which now accept delinquent colored boys under twelve. In all recent months such boys were sent by the courts to the house of Refuge on Randall's Island, but this institution, because it accepts the more hardened delinquent, found it necessary to establish a rule against admission of delinquent boys to the Negro boys under twelve are being placed on probation instead of sent to correctional institutions of such common knowledge in Erie, it was brought out at this meeting, that many of the boys were delinquent, and the police officers, or social workers boldly announce: "No use talk! meause there isn't no place to send me to." The need of a new state institution for delinquent boys, white as well as colored, was stressed before the Committee on Social Problems, Dr. Charles H. Johnson, director of the State Department of Charities. "The time is come," Mr. Johnson declared. "for a general mass movement among welfare agencies to secure the establishment of a new state institution for boys, an institution whose name will in no way be associated with crime or delinquency. Everybody is agreed to me, that the present equipment of the House of Refuge on Randall's island is inadequate and obsolete; that this institution should be scrimped and that Randall's island can be much better used for Bilious Spells DIZZINESS RELIEVED "I suffered with severe billions attacks that came on two or three times each month," says Mr. J.

"There should be in the place of the present House of Refuge a well equipped school with educational and trade opportunities for delinquent colored and white boys. Such an education should be arranged on the cottage plan so that the good boys may be separated from the bud." The lack of recreational facilities in Harlem was the subject of considerable discussion. The report of Miss Rachel Hopper Powell of the Joint Committee for Negro Child Study pointed out that whereas curfews were in place on streets and between Seventh and Lenox avenues have in past years been set aside for play space under the direction of the Parks and Playgrounds Association, it is now generally agreed that the use of such streets for play space should no longer be limited to traffic congestion and the inability to secure adequate police supervision. Leroy E. Bowman, secretary of the City Recreation Committee, told the Committee more playgrounds are badly needed by every group in New York City, but particularly by the Negro population. Present plans contemplate seven locations for new playgrounds and one of these will be in Harlem.

Following the termination of his internship at Harlem Hospital next Monday, Dr. Albert E. O. Lynch will open offices for the practice of medicine and surgery at 117 Lincoln street, Montclair, N.J., in the new year. Dr. Lynch was born in Newark, N.J. where he attended the public schools. He entered Rutgers University at New Brunswick, N.J. in 1919 and in 1932 he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of science.

Hails Success of Negro In College Education The Negro has proved beyond any doubt his ability in the sphere of higher education, according to Miss Mary White Owington, chairman of the board of directors, and the president of the seminar on the Church and Race Relations at the Russell Sage Foundation. At the same session Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches, and Walter White, assistant secretary of the organization, also spoke. The admission was adopted by the seminar: "Be it resolved, that this seminar on the church and race relations recommend to the New York City Federation of Churches that it make a study of the discriminations and Negroes in the churches and of the public attitude back of these discriminations, and that it publish the results in a form of a report suitable for group study for the purpose of (a) encouraging church people to use every opportunity to influence those concerned with the issues of equality, (h) inviting attention to opportunities which the churches may have by changes in their own practices and policies to produce attitudes more favorable to the reception of Negroes freely in public places. Francis J. McConnell, new president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, said: "If the Negro problem is believed to be hopeless and the Christian Church cannot cope with it, it means that the very heart is taken out of Christianity. Group consciousness and segregation do not permit cross-illization of cultures." A. Philip Randolph, leader of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, spoke to the seminar on the Negro worker in general and on the fight of the Pullman porters to organize and secure a living wage in particular. The Negro worker pointed out that the Negro worker today did not want only work and wages but that he wanted work under more favorable conditions and wages that are adequate to insure a standard of living in terms of health, comfort and decency. He also maintained that the Negro worker wanted even more than these things, that he also wanted the freedom and the wage determination and the privilege of developing and expressing his spiritual and intellectual life.

NEVER in our life have we heard of anything more honorable to a Southern State than is the acquittal of Perry Howard to Mississippi. Twelve white Southerners in a Southern court that was about all white, as are all courts in Mississippi, said NO when the false Northern friends of a prominent black man tried to spring a political deadfall upon him. Now, when Mississippi has done wrong to the Negro, as Mississippi often has, we have never "bit our tongue" in saying what we thought of Mississippi's condescension not feared to blame Mississippi; neither will we fear to praise her. much time, say, in Washington or New York, would be sacrificed with the rulings of bells and the blowing of whistles, if ever the Southern gentlemen got him into their net, by fair or foul means. In acquitting this Negro leader, these white people of Mississippi have conceived ideas as to 'how the South was supposed by a lot of men that the South was still, to a man, or to a white man at least, in that stage of social barbarity that would cause them immediately to fear to pieces any prominent black man could have a chance to destroy; that they would destroy him most assuredly if he was prominent in politics; and most damnably of all, if he had been a successful rival against white people. It has also been supposed that a black man grown somewhat bigger than his environment and had come to be a national figure and to spend Train Porters' Salary Rises to $204 Monthly KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dec. 21.—That Negro train porters on the Western railroads receive a minimum salary of $244, based on a 240-hour working month, in comparison with the Pullman porter who gets a minimum salary of 400 hours, was pointed out by the railroad secretary L. Totten, assistant general organizer of the Brotherhood of Car Porters. His observation was occasioned by the porters' receiving back checks last week amounting to $35. The increase is $6½ per cent. Train porters operating on the Santa Fe and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroads are paid at the rate of $3.34 for 100 miles of railroad. They may take ten trips a month and receive an average of $20 for travel. These figures were given the Pullman Porters' Union head by officials of the trainmen's union.

Twelve white Southern- vas about all white, as are all O when the false Northern man tried to spring a political much time, say, in Washington or New York, would be sacrificed with the ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles, if ever the Southern gentlemen got him into their net, by fair or foul means. They had been believed that always, and everywhere, Negro who is economically independent or a fair financial success would be destroyed economically and reputably, if not corporeally and "bodiacially," as soon as his Southern neighbors got him "cornered" under any pretext whatsoever. And, some of us, who saw clearly, took in the charge against Howard, and who believed in the unmilitated by-policy of his chief accusers, were afraid to say as much as we might have said about it before the trial, lest we might wake up and irritate the demon supposed to work for prominent Negroes in every instance of injustice" in the South—and especially in Mississippi. But in Perry Howard's case Southern white men violated all these traditions, or disappointed all these prejudices. And do not forget that, even if this was a case under the national government, it comes to jury trial in the South. It is Southern men who have the fates in their hands. It was Perry Howard's white neighbors and political rivals who adjudged him "not guilty" of the accusations of Perry Howard's political comrades. In fighting this case to a finish, in never giving up and never lying down, Perry Howard has renamed his race and to the South and to the Negro's political position in the entire country. It was said over and over again that certain cowardly Republican leaders hoped to injure the Negro historically, especially in the city, by this attack on Howard. This is not the first time that a shot has been a boomerang. Ye meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. And now what? Perry Howard is still a member of the Republican National Committee. He had too much sense to "resign under indictment," as guilty or frightened, and he ought to be restored with all luck pay to his position in the Attorney General's staff. And now we pause to see if Illinois whites can give just as square a deal to Oscar DePriest, congressman-elect from Chicago, who has against him an Indictment to suspect he be as political as that against Howard.

C., in Harlem, Saturday night. Domnan comes from Los Angeles with a record of 17 knockouts in 21 battles. His biggest boost to ring fame was a double knockout of Armand Emmanuel of Pacific Coast. He dropped Emanuel for a count of fourteen and again for sixteen in the second round, only to a fall a victim to one of his opponent's wild swinging blows, which sent him to the floor in the same round. He arose at the count of 17 and the foe moved him to his corner, claiming he had to toll the fatal number of ten. Doman is exhibiting clips on that bout, which show that he was jobbed. It was one of the most exciting rounds ever witnessed and the veteran was charged with favoritism and being carefully nursed along at that time for a New York invasion. Burns is strong in his optimism of his protege's chance to annex the title. "I'm not holding any illusions about Doman," he says. "I've been too long in the game to be misled this season. But I tell you this about the round fellow. In my experience around the world I've never seen a more intelligent, gamer or harder hitting boxer than this youth I ran across in Los Angeles seven months ago. I say this with all respect to old Bob Fitzsimons, whom I boxed and who was considered by the hardest hitting boxer we saw. Old Bob had nothing to laud when it came to punching. If Doman is not champion in a year or a year and a half, he'll come mighty close to it." Bordentown Five Tramples Titans on Christmas Day ORANGE, N.

Jesse Miles, coach and leader of the Orangesize, was the math cog in the Titan machine, the first Falcon Jahn Hamilton, his nudget running star, starred for the school lons. Titan took an early lead when Evans was fouled and sank two free throws for a brace of points. A missed shot however Hamilton missed a difficult one from corner of the court, and Russ slipped just his guard to ring up a second one. From then on the "Cats" were never headed and led at half-time. 2-9. Pike left guard to the corner, and finished some worry for Bordownau for a few moments, when he rang up six points in quick succession during a spirited rally. The Grangecrew lightened defense, however, and gave off the rally with little trouble.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1929 'TIGER' MEETS BURNS' PROTEGE SATURDAY New York Athletes Mourn Death of Harding To One of the Boys, a Pal and a Friend In Loving Memory of St. Christopher—HAROLD HARDING—Incorporator To One of the Boys, a Pal and a Friend In Loving Memory of St. Christopher—HAROLD HARDING—Incorporator How soft, so soft thy happy evening close, When came the time for thee to find repose. With trembling hands we part the curtains of the past, And ask for thee a peaceful rest right to the last. And ask for thee a peaceful rest right to the last. No more, no more thy happy voice we'll hear, No more will you respond to the crowd's great cheer. St. Christopher. Alpha, Spartan—all, Leondi, Smart Set, Owls, Imperials, too, In thy respect have stilled the ball. Perhaps 'tis only in imagination done, But we are playing again your battles won: With tears your bold Incorporators few The mound upon your grave will strew Flowers blest with memories of the past When you answered to the whistle's blast. The old "ASSOCIATION" gathered here tonight, With Bishop, Parker, Cooper, Huggins, Wright, And all the others that you knew, A mighty host of pals so true. With Wilson, Posey and the rest Recalling days of Pittsburgh's best. Stand howed in sorrow at your bier Trying to restrain an errant tear That would upon thy casket drop As DEATH, the referee calls STOP! The Friends That Mourn Thy Loss Are Legion The Friends That Mourn Thy Loss Are Legion WE SUPPOSE it holds true that all peoples are prone to readily forget, but somehow we are inclined to believe that this holds good to a greater extent among Negroes than among any other races, if we are to judge by the manner in which the names of former athletic heroes are constantly recalled by members of the same races. It is hardly a generation ago that the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish hold the center of attention because of the spirit of enthusiasm which was so marked in those days, when Reverend Everard Daniels gave much attention to the development of the club. It was at the time that that splendid array of young men, which included Chauncey Hoopers Eugene Williams, Jimmie Ravenell, Clarence Williams, George Clayton and Arthur Johnson formed an executive council (which we had good reason to look upon as a council of war) second to none in any club formed by colored people in any part of the country. Young, intelligent, enthusiastic and guided by the ideals which have stood them in good stead in after life, these young men carried on and soon all kinds of athletic championships found their way into the Parish House. It was at that time that Harold Harding and a host of other well known youngsters worked for the glory of the red and black colors. Harold Harding was one of the follies and finest young fellows that ever found time into the Parish House, and when the trophies started to troop Harold had contributed his share towards securing them. When things were at its height, athletically speaking, Bill Madden had just about graduated as the mascot of the famous New York All Stars and found a berth at the Parish House as manager of the basketball teams. It is said of Madden that he cherished great ambitions, and flushed with the success which came from a foundation laid by others, he soon started to feel that his power should be wider spread and the constraint which had to be placed upon him became irksome. Then one fair day came the declaration of war out of a clear sky. To the man without real red blood coursing through his veins and who had failed to thrill at the exploits of the red and black machine this perhaps does not mean so much but to the youngsters of those years not so very long ago it meant a great deal. We had admired the spirit of Bill Madden while he guided the destinities of that machine which run rough-shod over all opposition, and when the break came we found it hard to throw him down. After a hasty midnight consultation with us Madden announced his withdrawal from the St. Christopher Club, and with him came Walter Cooper, Eddie Brown, Harold Parker and a number of others whose names we find it hard to recall (growing old) at this time. With them came Harold Hunting, our friend who died last week at Asheville, N. C., and the incorporator basketball team was formed. War to the death! St. Christopher had always played at Manhattan Colno on New Yer's afternoon and the police reserves were usually on hand to keep Eddie Waldron's casino from bullying out with the great number of people always on hand to see the red and black action. As ambassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary we journeyed to Washington, D. C., in behalf of the incorporators and after consultation with the athletic body at Howard University negotiations for the appearance of the mighty Howard Five with Oliver, Sykes, the Curtis brothers, Gilmore, Ed Gray and Nixon were successfully closed. New York, thrilled to the core by the battle, had given St. Christopher her full quota of support New Year's afternoon, but New York surprised the entire country when she turned out in full the same night and gave the incorporators as large a gathering. It took the passing of Harold Harding to recall those days, for his happy disposition and real friendships had won a host of followers to the incorporators. It was Harold, who, with glass hold high one memorable night, made a move that the writer become the "Incorporator of the incorporators," an office which, if you only knew what we mean, was welcome to us. This office combined fraternizing with the beautiful group of young ladies that followed the team and to this day we have remembered that much of the little success we have gained in the world of sport can be traced to these dear creatures. If you doubt it run up to the Savoy and ask Harold Parker or make the trip to the office of Dr. Edgar Perkinson and ask "Little Perkle" confidently. Harold Harding upon the time when the ravages of the great white plague had started to assert itself never lost heart. His was a jolly nature which nothing could upset (Arlington Delasarte of Brooklyn will certify to this), and when he was about to leave for the southland in an attempt to regain his health, he dropped around to find out if he had lost our punch. Assuring him that we had not he appeared to be satisfied to leave little old New York. Readers will recall his cheery letter appearing in these columns some months ago. We now turn to our old friend, W. Rolle Wilson, of the Pittsburgh Courter to ask that he take up where we are leaving off. Harold was one of the gang of the old days and belonged to a circle which was extended all the way to Pittsburgh when "Cum" Posey and his famous world-heaters started to upset things in basketball here. None will wield a more trenchant pen on Harold Harding and the past than Rolle. We see Harold go with regrets that will never be able to find voice. He belonged to a time when all of us were at that stage of young manhood which can be called "in the making," and his contributions to our social and cultural gatherings warrant us in today devoting this entire column to him. Is it not a strong coincidence that this should come on the anniversary of nights which meant so much in his young life? Whether with St. Christopher or Incorporator New Year's night was always a big night in the life snuffed out recently by the grim hands of death for on that night his ears would ring with the plaudits of thousands, his eyes would dance with the joy of living when softer orbs filled with admiration The Friends That Mourn PASSING OF HAROLD HARDING PPOSE it holds true that all peoples are prone to somehow we are inclined to believe that this be extent among Negroes than among any other race, the manner in which the names of former athletically recalled by members of the same races.

Is Are Legion Man Dies From Injury Sustained at Hands of White Sox Player SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 27. (By The Associated Negro Press) — Walter Lawson, 53 years old, the head in a ball game in this city last May, is dead. Physicians who attended Lawson before his death state that an injury to the brain was responsible. The ball was thrown in the Negro section of the grand stand by Art Shires, Waco, Texas, first baseman, after ragging by the colored fans. Shires claimed he did not intend to hit anyone. A civil suit against Shires and the Waco baseball team is now pending in the local courts. Shires is now with the Chicago White Sox, of which Bill Buckner, a Negro, is the trainer. Y. M. D. Juniors in Tie On Saturday, December 29, the Y. M. D. Junior team of Carlton took even with the Trojan A. C. of Brooklyn. Both teams were able to score 18 points with an additional five minute overtime period. The game was very exciting and offered many opportunities to team play and shooting. Collins and Windsor at guard played remarkably well, holding their men to 4 lone points. Harris and Gray at forward did mighty good work also. Harris, by his shifting and uncanny shooting, was able to score 6 points. Bernard Gray, although he was playing a good game at forward, was shifted to center well. Bernard half of the game, ended with Trojans 9. The Trojans, rated as one of the best young basketball teams of Brooklyn, demonstrated by their speed and accuracy at shooting from the field, while their tough throughout the game, neither team being able to maintain more than one or two point lead. The game ended officially with Carlton Johnson of the Trojans. During the extra fine play, Johnson fouled out勇敢 desperately for a lead. Jimmie Robinson of long-shot fame was called upon at that time, but of no avail. He was too well guarded to try more. Stormer, Stromer, Trojans and Harris of York, Jr. Junior, high scorer, each having scored 6 points. SUCCER GAME ENDS 1-1 The Maraons Soccer Club played the game on Sunday, 23d, at Van Cortlandt Park in New York. The Colonials scored first on a pass from Riley to Smith in the first half. The Maraons quickly evened the score, when Dumps carried the ball to the right. The Colonials' goal, making a beautiful pass in the air to center forward, Sensen, who headed the ball into the net. The other team was able to score in the second period. The Maraons were the more aggressive of the two, pressing the Colonials' defense to the limit.

RENS READY FOR THE TRIANGLES Beat Hebrews Last Sunday in Preparation for Game This Tuesday night at the Renaissance Casino the crowd will celebrate the many victories of the local team when they turn out to see the Rens in action against the famous institution Triangles of Birmingham. On the behalf of the American League, the Brooklynites are all set for the big contest. Last Sunday night the local players again and another chance to warm up for their holiday week contests when they hung up an 58-85 victory over the Giants. It was all over but the shouting from the start when the colored players went off from the whistle. Not satisfied with having secured one of the hardest opponents for the local team, the damage Bob Douglas has given Brooklyn a break by lining up the Assumption Triangles for the Sunday night contest at the home court. This other aggregation of Brooklyn ball tossers are known for their prowess on the court although it has been quite slow since these white players appeared against their former conquerors. These holidays games are some of the most attractive and will naturally keep the tans in a constant stream making a bee line for feature positions to witness the contests. Theenaissance will close the old year with a rush and open the New Year like a house afire. First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of harlem basketball fans. Das dein.

Dixon looked like a champion the easy way, and he playmate from north, and from the first right the he shot and kissed Cleghorn upon the chin, in the opening canto, un the final second, George was box of the situation. George won six of the 10 rounds Cleghorn get a shade in, and for another four which were with Dixon doing plenty of damage to the Eskimo. In the first round they exchange punches and Dixon ducked a late hook and then dropped his right hand on Olehorm to his heels. The Eakmo to his heels. His knee sagged and he almost went to the floor, but he caught himself and clinched. The fight might just as well have ended there, as Dixon was master of ceremonies the remainder of the Cleghorn stung Dixon with a right hook in the second, and it spun the colored cyclone to the ropes, but he was right back into the fray, fighting with both hands and stopping and firing at Walter had hopes of starting. As the fight progressed, Dixon beat a steady tattoo of left hands upon Cleghorn's left eye, until it stood out like a boll on Able's Irish nose. From the fifth to the finish Cleghorn was the target of straight left to the eye and right hooks to the chin, which split his mouth and brought the claret in buckets. The derision was over and rendering it—three votes for George, and the score now stands one win each and a draw in three fights.

This calling, which has been in existence since the beginning of time, has emerged from its cocoon mediocrity into the butterfly of a profession, The som- bre funeral trappings, the icebox, and crepe-draped cof- fin have passed into oblivion. The quiet, dignified cas- ket coach, the jewel-case-like burial receptacle and per- fect embalming have taken their place. The quiet fu- neral home has forced the ill-kept, dark, hole-in-the- wall office into discard. The frock-coated, sour-visaged Undertaker has gone the way of all that do not keep pace with the times, and in his place we find the mod- ern, clean-cut, human Mortician. A new order of things has brought into its wake an increased burden in over- head that would cause the old-fashioned Undertaker to stagger and gasp, Tg the cost of funeral service !s not to become bur- densome to the public, it is vitally necessary that it be met in at least two ways: First, by an accurate knowledge of business princi- ples that will determine unnecessary waste, in order that it might be eliminated. = Second, by an increase in the volume of funerals cared for by the individual establishment, in order that the cost of overhead in each case might be lowered. In the past, and still, to a certain extent, the Fu- neral Director has been chosen solely on the basis of friendship, personal acquaintance, fraternal or religious affiliations, or recommendations of others. 3 The only real basis of preference, Service, has not been a factor in the selecting of a Funeral Director in the past, in any other than an indirect manner. Today Service is becoming more of 2 deciding fac- tor and added impetus has been given to this change by rendering a superior service at prices within the means of all, because the purchasers of today know values better than ever before.

"From a small beginning in 1922," said Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on Race Relations, the idea has spread through home mls on boards, Y. N. C. A.s, Y. W. C. A.s, L. W. C. A.s, and our auxiliary societies, and many social agencies. We feel that the widespread recognition of Race Relations Sunday is having a great influence in bringing about a better spirit of co-operation and understanding between the various racial groups and the seventh annual celebration of the Sunday in 1929 will mark an even more general advance in interracial co-operation."

BRADHURST 1048 Amalgamation; Race Problems and artists, our ambassadors to the world of culture, have given people a new viewpoint in regard to the race; the sated aestheticism of Caucasians has had a fresh field opened to it, brimming with power and promise. The Negro is beginning to dominate American art. Go to any comedy theatre and count the acts and dances derived and often directly stolen from the Negro; observe the Negroisms in American conversation; mark the prevalence of Negro rhythms and cadences in the music composed by white Americans; note how many American authors are writing stories and articles about the Negro. EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is another thing which is slowly but irresistibly developing—the self-sufficiency of the Negro. He is becoming more sure of himself, beginning to realize the tremendous power that lies within him, awaiting only organization and focusing. He is learning that whether external circumstances be for him or against him, he himself will be the final decider of his fate. He no longer weeps and waits for manna to fall from heaven; he is founding and supporting his own banks, insurance companies and other business enterprises. In politics, education and economics he has a long way to go; but he's coming, fast coming, and his head is not bending low. Three "Gay" Sailors Three "Gay" Sailors LAST WEEK three rowdy white United States sailors on shore leave started a riot on a subway train. They ran from car to car, throwing things at passengers and kicking them. Then, seeing two colored men in one of the cars, the sailors attacked them, evidently for no other reason than their color, knifing them both and severely injuring one. The sailors were finally arrested and locked up on a charge of felonious assault. The police reported that the three sailors were extremely gay, and the headline of the paper reporting the incident read: "Three Gay Tars Start Riot on Brooklyn Subway Train." THE USE of the word gay for such conduct sticks in one's throat. To beat up two inoffensive citizens and send one of them to the hospital in a critical condition—this is gay? Suppose the two Negroes had annoyed the passengers and beat up two of them. One can imagine the newspaper report of it: "Two drunken Negroes, full of Christmas hooch, swearing and brandishing razors, ran amuck in a subway train last night, kicking and stamping on women and children, and slashing two men. one of whom may die." But when three white sailors do it they are merely "gay." EDITORIAL PAGE Amsterdam News NOTICE that a number of Negro papers, following the lead of the Afro-American, have become interested in my recent release, "To Overcome or Undergo Race Prejudice — Which?" Amalgamation spontaneously springs to mind as a possible solvent. Solution by absorption could only happen in case of world-wide amalgamation.

If the four million whites in California would consent to absorb the hundred thousand Mongolians now within their gates, this would only lead to local and temporary easement. But so long as the great reservoir of yellowness still remains in its untouched integrity in Asia, the great white and yellow races would remain as far or farther apart than ever. Wherever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. Whose Business Is It, Anyway? FROM ITS INCIPIENCY, the housing project in Harlem of John D. Rockefeller Jr. found sympathetic support in the offices of The Amsterdam News. Long before the buildings were ready for occupancy and long before the decision was made to sell the apartments on the co-operative plan—or to rent them—the co-operation of The Amsterdam News was sought and cheerfully given. Since the project became a reality, and from the very beginning of the present managerial staffs connection with it, The Amsterdam News has continued this co-operation. By parity of reasoning, if the handful of Africans, whether of direct or diluted blood, now sojourning in the United States, should be brought up and hidden completely from the world, in America would, incidentally, seem to disappear with the provoking cause. But beyond the ocean is Africa. The steamship, the airship, the cable and the radio are hastening the are of prophecy when there 'all be no more gas. ONE CONCLUSION, however, seemed definitely to have been reached by Mr. Rockefeller, Charles D. Heydt, the man who holds his power of attorney, and A. J. Thomas, his architect, and that decision was to the effect that the tenants themselves should have a voice in the operation of the project through an advisory board or committee of tenants or tenant-owners. Therefore, something must have gone awry with this plan when the assistant resident manager of the apartments can tell a reporter for The Amsterdam News that she "does not have to answer to anyone except Mr. Rockefeller." A solid white continent facing a solid black one would but stand out in sharper distinctions without any mitigating intermediary, allowing observational that most acquires American social thinkers, so-called, lack world-mindedness. They are, for the most part, deficient in the power of objectification. They cry only because the shoe pinches and seem to feel that personal reality is the only objective worth while. THE SPECIFIC QUESTION the reporter had been ordered to inquire about was, why a copy of the lease that had been signed by tenant-owners nearly a year ago—at which time delivery had been promised within a few days—had not been delivered. "What is it to you?" the reporter was asked by the assistant resident manager, who followed her query with the reference to her responsibility to Mr. Rockefeller alone. --- WE GRANT that the reporter in question had no concern in the matter beyond carrying out a specific assignment from his newspaper; also, that neither the manager nor the assistant resident manager has to answer to The Amsterdam News; but we most emphatically do not grant that the management of a co-operative project like the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments is responsible only to Mr. Rockefeller. We do not grant even that Mr. Rockefeller himself would view the matter in that light if it should ever be brought to his attention. IN THE December number of the American Mercury is an able and comprehensive article on the problems of the Negro writer by James Weldon Johnson, the gist of which is that the Negro writer has at least two audiences to please—audiences with often widely differing points of view on the same subject. THERE HAS, SEEMINGLY AT LEAST, been too much of the schoolroom variety of management in the operation of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments during their first year of occupancy and like school children the tenant-owners have obeyed the rules without asking questions in the classroom. The power of the Rockefeller name has conjured them and lulled them to sleep. Many questions, however, have been asked in private, which sooner or later will be asked in public. The autocratic spirit with which the management seems to approach its work is far more obnoxious than the management or Mr. Rockefeller may suspect. Mrs. Bruce's reply to our reporter is in direct keeping with that spirit. Recently, while talking with a distinguished European lecturer and editor who had just returned from America, I noted that the subject of a certain novel by a Negro writer came up, whereupon he expressed the question in the great novel, given him, while I, on my part, expressed my displeasure at it, and told him that I was not IF MR. ROCKEFELLER built the apartments for his own benefit and for the benefit of the Bruces and the Bruces' friends, the tenant-owners may as well be informed of that fact now. If the tenant-owners are to have no voice whatever in the management of "their own" apartments they may as well know it now. The knowledge will save both parties at least a lot of worry. THE ASSISTANT RESIDENT MANGER did finally condescend to tell the reporter of how she was saving the tenants' money by preparing the leases herself, and of the multiplicity of her duties—savings and duties the tenants themselves don't know anything about, but which they would know about if the management felt that it was their business. DURING the past year no effort whatever has been made to start a tenants' organization to act in even an advisory capacity; nor has the advice or opinion of the tenants as a whole or part been sought in any instance of which we know. After comfortable berths had been given to relatives and friends, some money may have been saved, and some money may have been wasted, but the tenant-owners have not been told anything about it, and it is not the newspaper's business. Leases have been withheld for a year, and yet it is nobody's business except Rockefeller's and the Bruces', the latter the supposed representatives of both the tenant-owners and Rockefeller. It is time for the tenant-owners of the Paul Laurence Dunbark Apartments to wake up. The New Year and the Negro The New Year and the Negro THE BEST NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION is to make no resolution. If you have to wait for New Year's Day to make a resolution and act on it the chances are that you will never carry it through. The time to make resolutions is every day in the year, taking New Year off. The best thing you can do on New Year's is to take stock of yourself and find out where you stand financially, physically, mentally, spiritually and every other way. THIS NEW YEAR'S the Negro is in a better position than ever before. Idealists, who always expect too much, may be discouraged, but taking it by and large the Negro's condition shows no cause for despondency. He has a long way to come, but slowly and surely he is coming. FOR ONE THING, the world is becoming more and more interested in the Negro. Twenty years ago it expected nothing from him but childishness and ignorance; today it expects of him a definite contribution to American life and even admits that he has made it. Negro thinkers, writers By KELLY MILLER Marcus Garvey and the school of thought which he typifies portray the only genuine philosophy based upon world vision. The vision of so earnest a mind as of Frederick Douglass did not range beyond the hither rim of the Atlantic Ocean. He, over and — Kelly Miller — over again, expressed his disdain or disinterest in the mother continent by the maxim, "I have none of the banana in me." I regard Marcus Garvey's program as grotesque and bizarre, but not his philosophy. Where the resemblance is most evident is the revealed idea the effect is ridiculous. But all of this aside, you cannot solve the race problem in America—yellow or black—until it is solved for the world. But amalgamation will not, in any time which we can now foresee, solve even the local problem as it prevails in the United States. To start with, we have to deal with the Anglo-Saxon variety, which is the most bigoted and intolerant of all the breeds of men. JEAN TOOMER By J. A. ROGERS alone, so far as so-called Negroes were concerned. "I was not a little surprised at my attitude, so we spent some time in discussion. What we both had to say, it is not my purpose to relate here, except that the gentleman, I have good reason to believe, is our prejudice, and that his pleasure would different from that which a Negroist would derive from the same work. It was rather in the nature of a relaxation, the enjoyment of something new and novel. Pretty much, as I said in an earlier article, the pleasure I had had in coming in contact with primitive English persons, Italians, white Southerners, or Africans, preface. I could keep them from travelling in the jungle with me. And so we have had it from the beginning of time—what is one man's meat is another man's poison. As to Mr. Johnson's article, I Brazil, if let alone by Anglo-Saxon interference, might settle its racial problem by amalgamation, but not Anglo-Saxon America. Nor can. Brazil settle its problem while we retain ours. The growing intercourse of the two nations demands social as well as political and commercial understanding. Some time ago I issued a release setting forth the reasons why amalgamation is not applicable to the present racial situation. "But look and see," says the hasty observer; "has not amalgamation already lightened the whole race through a transfusion of white. But it must be undoubtedly true. But it must have been theborn mind that this transfusion took place unconsciously on the part of both participants. As soon as society became conscious of what had taken place, condign steps were taken to forbid further progress in that direction. Race prejudice is perdurable, certainly in so far as we have isolated any means of overcoming it. Sex passion, in individual instances, outweighs race prejudice, in the individual, for the moment, but this does not phase its stubbornness as a racial entity. Amalgamation cannot take place on a considerable scale while race prejudice persists and while society remains conscious of it. Instances, of course, will occur, but not sufficiently numerous to be of social importance. Among the Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon contingent of the American people there is a universal sentiment against the intermixture of races. Other races are incidents of the white race are guided and controlled by the dominant Anglo-Saxon mind, which emphasizes their own normal inclination. Twenty-nine out of forty-five States have already passed anti-internarriage laws. One or two striking instances, such as the cases of Frederick Douglass, Jack Johnson, and Kip Rhinelander, serve to stir the remaining States to follow the lead of the majority. Such proposals were defeated in several belfastatures, not because agree almost entirely with it. But what I started out to do was to mention another Negro writer, who in a recent story has done just what Mr. Johnson says the writes do not like. In Mr. Johnson's own words: "White America has a strong feeling that Negro artists should refrain from making use of white subject matter. — J. A. Rogers — I mean by that subject matter which it feels belongs to the white world. In plain words, the white American does not welcome seeing the Negro group competing with the white man on what it considers is the white man's own ground." All of which is true. While white men like Lew Dockstader, Al Jolson and Paul Whitman have made fortunes imitating Negroes, and while most of the taking humor of white comedians in Europe and America is Negroian in origin, the fact is that the greater part of any white audience will gardd as an intrusion the taking of so-called white themes by Negro artists. Almost all Negro singers are wanted by whites to be confined to the singing of Spirituals. That is to say, the whites wish the Negro to "stay in his place." Some of this is, of course, prompted by genuine liking for the Negro and what he offers, but the most of it is regarded as such in the same way as the domestic wife. Instead of staying in his place, seats himself at the table with his master and his guests. I must now return to what I started to write short, the Negro writer who has just defied convention by using "white" subject matter. The writer in question is Jean Toomer. In the December number of the Disi Mr. Toomer has a sketch of one Costyne Dudditch, a globe-trotter. I will endeavor to the gist of the story, but the subtleties of the charm that Toomer give to his character the reader will have to get, for himself by reading the story. Costyne Dudditch, a quaint and SPECIAL ARTICLES the States opposed the principle, but merely because it was urged that the infrequency of the instances did not justify such drastic action. Amaligamation outside of wedlock is a decadent, all but a dead, institution. Bastardy in all lands and all times has been taboo. Bastardy across the race lines is dominant in the business. On part of the white female it constitutes a social stigma worse than death. On part of the Negro female it is becoming equally opprobrious. The inevitable dissemination of the knowledge of birth control will speedily eliminate bastardy as an element of fecundity on the part of both white and black, and most especially biracial bastardy. How, then, is this amaligamation to take place, since it is forbidden legally and banned illegally, unless a cum prejudice abates its stubbornness and is injected into the Negro race in days gone by will divide itself into two streams of tendency. These near the racial divide, especially the males, will feel disposed to "pass" to the side where personal advantage and opportunity lie. The residue, especially the females, will breed backward on the chromatic scale. Casual observation will convince the observer that in the great majority of the genus malagamation the species is much lighter than the male. There will indeed be amalgamation within the race itself, but not of a biracial character. Incidentally, the fourteenth census showed a decline of 400,000 mulattoes. We must await the results of the fifteenth census to tell what has become of them. No, the Negro will not be bleached, but browned, by the process of infra-, not inter-, and amalgamation, with the nearly identical Negro will become one with himicad before he becomes one with white America. The ultimate destiny of humanity may indeed be universal amalgamation, but that destiny is too remote and far off for our limited resources nor need we in our day and generation concern ourselves with it. --- delightful gentleman, travels over the globe, not so much for the pleasure of travel as for the thrill that he gets at the surprise and the welcome of friends when he unexpectedly turns up, as he is in the habit of doing. So he goes on, the world making acquaintances, and whenever discovered in one spot he always pretends that he has been there all along. His delight of delights is to be walking on the street and have someone hall him. With this end in view, he goes from place to place, selecting hotels to which he returns after periods of absence, and finding a keen joy at the salutation of the doormen, clerks, porters and bellboys, of their complaint that they not seen him for ages and their treatment of him as a visiting dignitary of great worth. His calculation was very shrewd. He never returned to a hotel a month after having stayed in it. For considering the size of the tips he gave everyone, it would have been no mark of remembrance of the entire staff to recall him after so short a lapse of time. No, he never returned to a place quickly. A year, two years, three years, and after an interval of four years, the still saluted him, it was one of the high moments of his life. In short, Costyve Duditch had the very human falling of wishing a fuss to be made over him and he had discovered this was the best method or getting it. Mr. Duditch too, like all persons of the temperament, was very sensitive to deprivation or neglect. The least sign of either and he would go off like a frightened bird to somewhere else. One day while in Chicago—the spot that comes nearest to being his home—he went to the business district as was his daily habit found himself in Boston or Bombay or Paris or Pekin. Here, to his joy, he had been hailed by a friend, one Mr. Colbitt, and told of a party being given that day by one Constance Hanover, who has a literary and social salion. Mr. Duditch intended to continue his wanderings that day but found that he had enough time to be promising to be there, he went to Paris. While there he spied a glance bowl of wonderful workmanship and while wondering which of his friends he should send it to as a present, the bowl dropped from his hand and was broken into a thousand pieces. All eyes were suddenly fixed on him, which so upset him that after ordering it to be charged to his account he hurried off to the station and made arrangement to leave by the first train, which was three hours earlier than the other. He had, however, time to go to Constance Hanover. Arriving there, he met such a hourly welcome that he regretted the step he had just taken. His friends urged him to take them his travels and he related them in a voice that gave "the impression of being disembodied. A voice sounding on the face of the earth, pleading and delighted, pleading Influenza THE epidemic of influenza of 1918 is still fresh in the minds of most of us, and any report regarding the more than normal occurrence of this disease is likely to associated with some degree of alarm. It is very difficult to determine the true extent of an outbreak, since a great many cases reported as influenza are the ordinary colds and fever we have about this time every year. The figures of the Health Department show, however, that there are nearly ten times as many cases of the flu over a four-day period this month than there were last year over the same period. Since an increase of nearly approach the proportions of an epidemic in a city of this size, which happens every two or three decades, may be explained on the basis that a new generation of susceptibles has grown up whom the disease finds fertile so for its quick propagation. The period between the time the disease Influenza is an acute, highly contagious disease occurring all over the world or in certain countries at the same time. It is characterized by suddenness of onset, fever, headache, marked prostration and lung complications. The influenza germ discovered in 1892 is generally believed to be cause. The disease shows the highest occurrence in individuals between the ages of 4 and 34, comparatively few cases occurring under one year and over 60. The protection from further attack, which often results from having had the disease, is relative, since some individuals have had several attacks. There is some protection, however, and the worldwide occurrence of the disease which was seen in 1918, and for no one, delighted with no tangible thing." But presently someone asked: "Suppose you were to die in some far-off, outlandish spot, Mr. Duditch, what would happen to your body?" "I suppose that it would be dealt with according to the custom of the place," was his calm reply, "that not even sent home?" Mr. Duditch replied: "To the man who has made the world his home, beneath the pavement it is all earth, is it not? It is earth here in Chicago, in Constantinople, Mecca, Bombay or some spot without name. Would not the same changes occur in my dead organism whatever the place? For sure they would. So you see I have no doubt that some fine morning a sage son using a foreign tongue will be able to one frightened glance at my body lying there and say: 'He's dead.'" At this instant gloom fell on the company. That "he's dead" rang in their ears. The longer they heard it the more againt they became. One by one they rose to leave, which, as may be imagined, infinitely distressed Mr. Duditt and made him more anxious than ever to fly to another city. He left also, but his distress would not be long. Next morning he would bowl up the ascle of the Pullman and outseam all the men in the washroom. To get the full charm and flavor of the story one must read it, as was said. Jean Toomer is the author of "Cane," regarded by some as the high-water mark of Negro literature. A leading French review recently devoted considerable space to his work, calling him the foremost American Negro writer and comparing him with some of the leading writers of America. The Dial, by the way, is perhaps America's leading literary journal. OUSTED NURSE TO BE AT N. A. A. C. P.

The period between the time the dis- sease is contracted and the begin- ing of symptoms is from one to four days. The condition is spread chiefly through contact, with the secretion from the nose and mouth hence prevention must be applied with this in mind. Avoid crowds and overcrowded, poor ventilated places as much as possible. Avoid unnecessary contact with activa cases. The use of peroxide of hydrogen or littering as a gargle night and morning might be of some value. Avoid fatigue by getting proper rest and sleep. A debilitated system fails easy prey to every disease. At the first sign of a cold with fever, as immediately to bed and consult your physician; it will be the most profitable procedure in the long run.
