INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC GRIPPING NEW YORK OUSTING OF DR. NURSE PRECIPITATES ANOTHER HARLEM HOSPITAL FIGHT REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections MEDICS WILL OPPOSE HOSPITAL ACTION IN DISMISSING DOCTOR Harlem Doctors Kept as Semi-Lackeys, Cosmopolitan Society Charges in Meeting Demanding Equal Chances for Staff Promotion A wave of resentment, expressing itself in formal protest by medical groups, was in evidence today following Dr. Godirey Nurse's forced withdrawal from Harlem Hospital staff and his subsequent charges that the action was a part of the institution's policy of suppression of Negro physicians and surgeons.

St. West 130th street. The meet- er also substantiated reports that internal dissension is flaring among Negro groups in its attitude to ward promotions at the institution. With the doctors freely expressing their views on reported existing conditions, criticism fell sharply upon the administration of Harlem Hospital and upon the Negro assistants there. Four resolutions were passed, endorsing the surgeon who was forced to withdraw and condemning the procedure of advan- cement. Although no official steps were taken toward securing an investigation by city authorities, the medical men contended that one was necessary, and that it could be obtained by a more suggestion. All plans for equal representation advocated by former Mayor Hylan have been discarded and the Negro physicians are still in mediocre positions, it was asserted. Dr. Oma H. Price, president, termed the hospital's attitude toward the Negro physicians as one of "gross injustice." Dr. Nurse's case he termed as "one of a series perpetrated upon Negro doctors there." He ended his talk with a plea for the men to join an "assault upon the forces of prejudice." Resolutions passed by the body, according to Dr. Neville C. Whiteman, secretary, were: 1. That the Cosmopolitan Medical Club believes in the ability of Dr. Nurse to fill the position of adjunct assistant visiting surgeon, and is convinced of his integrity. 2. That the body objects to the appointment of white men to the staff of the hospital when they have not served in the disgensary. 3. That the organization objects to the advancement of any man, white or colored, without seniority rank. 4. That the hospital should have more of the spirit of teaching in both the dispensary and the hospital proper. Speaking to the body before the resolutions were passed, Dr. Nurso declared that insubordination and inefficiency were the only two reasons which could be advanced for dismissal. He offered his reputation.

Conners, white, is director of surgical service at the hospital) and a long fight for recognition for Negro doctors were responsible for the action, he stated. The first resolution was offered to back him in his assertion. The last came because the medical men contend that the visiting physicians and surgeons make no attempt to instruct or aid the adjuncts, and merely consider them as helpers. While not the most representative medical body of local physicians, from the standpoint of numbers, the Cosmopolitan Medical Club has as members many of the leaders in the profession. Its members are also identified with the North Harlem Medical Association. The club of forty-seven will have a direct voice in determining the action of the larger body, which has a membership of seventy.

Despite the fact that the counsel for the defense, M. A. Sachs, white, 250 Broadway, brought out testimony that, Officer Sidney D. Taft of the Sixth division smashed a window and entered the apartment from the fire escape, his story failed Miss Scott. It was revealed also that two other persons were in the apartment when the "banker's" outfit was found, but were not arrested or haled into court as witnesses. Owner Not Arrested Miss Scott had been employed as a maid for four years in the home of a woman she described as Mme. St. Claire, a French shop owner. She was not arrested, however, despite the fact that the "catch" indicated that the apartment was the office of a "banker." The girl's grandmother was engaged to do cleaning in the apartment, she said, and had worked there six months. She denied the charge of being a "writer," by declaring that her educational advantages had been the least possible and that she could neither read nor write.

Keller has since been reduced to the rank of lieutenant and transferred from Inspector Valentine's office to another precinct. Both Sherman and Howard, according to a more recent report, were not included with Keller's raiders, but were under the command of lieutenant Warshaw, who directed their activities.

I, myself, would have been in a similar position if the dispossess proceedings had been started before the appearance of the story on the long delayed leases in the December 26 issue of The Amsterdam News, at which time I was certainly not in default in making my payments. "Moreover, in no instance since I subscribed to an apartment have I paid my instalment exactly on the first day of the month, and had an understanding with the cashier to that effect last April. "Beginning with February 4, 1928, when I paid my first instalment, payments have been made for current months on the following dates: March 10, April 21, May 12, June 9, July 10, August 14, September 20, October 27, November 23, and December 15. The check issued May 12 was misplaced in the Dunbar office and was not presented at the Chelsea Exchange Bank for payment until August, and on September 1 I gave Mr. Coleman, the cashier, a check in its stead.

This process could be repeated month after month, until the offending tenant-subscriber is completely wiped out. "Personally, all of the Bruces and all of the employees of the Dunbar Apartments have always treated me courteously, but this is not a personal proposition, but a strictly business one, involving over 500 tenant-subscribers." The Punctuality Letter In a registered letter dated January 9 and received by Mr. Kelley the next day Mr. Bruco wrote as follows: My dear Mr. Kelley: Since your monthly payment to the corporation is now in arrears, being due and payable punctually on the first day of each month, I think it is my duty to let you know that the management has been compelled by painful experience in a few cases to act upon the policy of instituting summary proceedings at the Seventh District Municipal Court early enough in the case of any delinquent to secure the money due or to repossess the apartment a reasonable length of time before the arrears exceed the down payment minus the cost of redecoration and other necessary charges. But, of course, we reserve the right to enter proceedings, according to the circumstances of each particular case, at our discretion. We dislike very much, indeed, to take court action, among the reasons being the fact that the usual charge for legal advice, preparation of papers, appearing in court, etc., is about $25, which is chargeable to the tenant against whom the action is brought. But, tenant-owners who make their payments punctually mdtst be protected. The down payment in many cases is so small that no other policy would safeguard the corporation.

Permission was then asked to keep the pet, especially since this was not the only one there. However, Mr. Bruce replied with emphasis on Jan. 10 that permission to keep the pet would not be granted. "We are for the indefinite present approving no further applications," he said. "This policy clearly applies to your case." Mr. Heydt Is "Sorry" Charles O. Heydt, white, 26 Broadway, personal representative of John D. Rockefeller Jr., who built the $3,000,000 project and appointed Mr. Heydt as president of the corporation, said in an interview Friday that notices had been sent tenant-subscribers to call for their leases three months ago, but these notices were not sent out until after The Amsterdam News published its story on them in the Dec. 26 issue. "What about the delay of six months previous to that time?" Mr. Heydt was asked. "We are very sorry for the delay," he replied. "It will not happen again." In a letter now being sent tenant-subscribers by Mrs. Bruce, together with their leases, it is stated that the leases were "received by me from the downtown office at 6 p. m. Saturday, Jan. 5." However, as early as Dec. 21 Mrs. Bruce told a reporter of The Amsterdam News that the leases were nearly all ready and that "the tenants may call for them."

Poston also paid $250 down. These two dispossesses are believed to have been the only ones served up to Monday, Jan. 14. It's the Tenant's Business Mr. Heydt also pointed out in Friday's interview, that "the Dunbar Apartments are not Mr. Rockefeller's proposition," but the tenant-owners' proposition." "Then why has a committee of tenant-subscribers not been formed heretofore?" he was asked. "That committee is to be formed in June of this year," Mr. Heydt replied. "The reason it has not been formed before this is because we wore waiting for all the people to move in and become better acquainted with each other, so that they might choose from among them LAKE ONTARIO ROCHESTER BUFFALO BYACUSE AMS Serving the E THE eleven million people in this state make increasingly tremendous demands upon telephone service.

SEVERAL LANDLORDS BOOSTING RENTS Tenants to Demand Renewal of Rent Laws Through Albany Delegates Tenants to Demand Renewal of Rent Laws Through Albany Delegates One Landlord Gets Regular Sum in Court as Renters Refuse Increase; League to Petition With 350 tenants known to have received notices of increases ranging from $10 to $36, with a half hundred fighting suits for increases and dispossesses, the rent situation increased in tenseness here early this week. One group of twenty-one renters was paying the regular stipulated sum in the Seventh District Municipal Court, pending the outcome of an increase suit. Added to the activity occasioned by the expiration of the Emergency Court Laws and the consequent demands for higher rents, the Harlem Tenants' League had shown a sharp increase in membership. The body is also laying plans for sending a deputation to Albany to demand new laws to protect persons paying more than $10 per month for each room. The tenants' organization will hold a meeting next Monday evening at the auditorium of the 135th street branch, Public Library, 103 West 135th street, Richard B. Moore president; Miss A. Elizabeth Hendrickson, vice-president, and Mrs. D. Campbell, secretary, are scheduled to address the meeting, in which a deputation will be designated. The league, which maintains offices at 169 West 133rd street, reports that more than 200 notices of increases have been filed at its headquarters. Legal advice and assistance are being given thirty tenants in the Seventh District Municipal Court. Banded to fight increases of $22 to $33 on the apartments at 101 West 140th street, twenty-one tenants are being sued by Herman Smithline, 561 West 147th street, landlord representative. The tenants, led by Mrs. Agnes Baker, have retained Albert Grossman, white, 1446 Broadway, former Assemblyman, as counsel. The group paid its regular rent in court and refused to accede to the demand for increases. In pointing out persons hard hit by the increases, the tenants' organization offered two examples, both which are resulting in court action. At 239 West 141st street five rooms have been boosted from $55 to $63. A short time ago the rent was raised from $50 to $55. This building is of the middle-class type and offers steam heat and hot water. Cold-water, unheated, walk-up tenement at 37 West 131st street. In which most apartments are five rooms, have risen from $29 to $39 monthly. With landlords wary and tenants' attorneys gingerly feel about for extensions for six months at the direction of the court, the actions for increases are progressing slowly. new decisions are expected immediately, with adjournments being asked for almost as soon as the cases get underway. It is noted that, while the brunt of the situation is keenest felt in Harlem, the Bronx and parts of Manhattan still offer equal and better accommodations for less money generally. On Riverside drive, near 135th street, apartments of five and six rooms are offered at $65 and $55, with the attractiveness of the neighborhood thrown in for good measure. Upper Broadway goes it even better, with the same size accommodations offered at $45 and $50. These properties, however, are largely closed to Negroes. Youthful Gunman Given Maximum Sentence Given the longest term possible under the law, Albert Cook, 25, 496 East 162d street, Bronx, was sentenced Wednesday in General Sessions to fourteen years in the penitentiary on charges of possession of a loaded revolver. Accused of holding up a Harlem speakeasy last September and arrested October 2 with a murderous revolver on his person, Cook was acquitted on the grounds December 21. Judge Francis X. Mancuso, who presided over the trial, hastened a week, imposed the sentence in Part I Wednesday morrow.

Monday. Coleman escaped, but was later arrested by Patrolman Jasper Rhodes of the same station on complaint of one Eva Pay, white, who stated that Coleman had held her up in the hallway of 259 West 152d street and took from her a purse containing $41.

The body weighed 640 pounds. Interment was at St Michael's Cemetery, where two graves, costing 110, were required to hold the body. The funeral cost $1,000, including payment to a crew of piano movers hired from M. Goldsack, ninety-eighth street and Third avenue.

Funeral services were held at the residence Friday night. The Rev. Mr. Washington of Sharon Baptist Church, 103d street, near Lexington avenue, officiated. The deceased is survived by her husband, Emanuel, and her son, Harry, 27. The awe-striken mourners looked on sadly as the piano crew, after closing the coffin, wrapped it in blankets, placed straps around it and tilted it on its side while attaching a block and tackle which swung down from the roof. The coffin was about 4 by 6 feet. Strong arms pulled on the ropes, holisting the death box through the window and easing it down to rest on two wooden horses before the curious crowd of several hundred.

The origin of the fire is unknown. One unidentified person saw the flames licking over the corpse of the roof, sounded an alarm and telephoned police of the West 123d street station. Deputy Fire Chief Clark responded and sent in a second alarm. Police reserves arrived at the scene to hold back the crowd. Mrs. Anna Jacobs of 220 West 128th street fled to the street with her 16-year-old daughter Marlan, but left her daughter Hilda, 8, with Mrs. Rose Hyatt and Benjamin Martin. Flames prevented her re-entering the building and she grew hysterical. Police dashed through the fire and found the two adults and the child reluctant to leave the warmth of their apartment, where there seemed to be no grave, immediate danger, but they were compelled to get out.

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN A Play Mrs. Smith: "Dear neighbor, can you lend me a little salt. I hate to ask you, but I ran out of it unexpectedly." Mrs. Brown: "Why, certainly, my dear, I believe in neighbors helping each other as much as possible." The next day Mrs. Smith returns salt. Mrs. Brown: "Why, my dear, you needn't have returned it. Neighbors should help each other out. And listen, dear, woud you mind lending me your washing machine, waffle iron, chashing dish and vacuum cleaner? It's so lovely to have a near neighbor on whom one can call." THE END. That's the way it goes, good people. You borrow a toothpick and the "near neighbor" has an excuse to borrow your parlor suit. Don't start it. I have an aunt who is wise enough to know the trouble caused by borrowing. Once, when she ran out of fire wood, she burnt up her clothes pins rather than start the borrowing habit with neighbors. Don't start and then you won't have the problem of ending it.

Apply Perfume With Care WHY is it that perfume has such a lovely fragrance on some people, and yet when you buy the same kind of perfume you can hardly detect it? The manner in which you apply perfume has a decided effect. Dabbing some on the last minute is never so effective as it is when you take a little time. After you have taken a hot bath and then a cool one, and had a good rubdown, it's a good idea to use some toilet water, the same fragrance as your perfume. Sprinkle it over you with your atomizer and let it dry on you. Then spray your perfume behind your ears and over your arms and hands. It pays to buy the more expensive perfumes—the cheaper ones lose their fragrance almost as soon as they strike the air. A mild perfume is far more pleasing and alluring than a strong one. Have you ever been in a crowded place, such as a department store, and felt actually sick from the different odors of strong perfumes? Buy your perfume at a reliable store and you'll know that you're getting what you're paying for. It's shaky business, you know, buying from these street agents. Because they tell you "it's imported and worth $10" doesn't say that you're not getting a fraud for $3. It may be worth 10 cents! Apply perfume carefully, and have a fragrant atmosphere about you.

NEW YORK DX Mae Whitman Takes the Stand Mae Whitman Takes the Stand And Charges That Unfair Managers and Owners Are Killing Business - A PIONEER PRODUCER DISGUSTED WITH CONDITIONS OBTAINING IN COLORED THEATRICAL WORLD TODAY (Special Correspondence) PHILADELPHIA.—"What," I asked Miss Mabel Whitman, "is the matter with the show business?" Did I touch a bomb under this dynamic woman producer and pioneer of the stage game? Emphatically, "Yes." Sister Mae is in her seventh week of the current season at John T. Gibson's playhouses in the Quaker City. Now, seven weeks for a big company uptown is a unique thing and when a colored show can still draw after that elapsed period it is almost a miracle. It proves that the theatre owner has vision and the troupe has class and crowd-appeal. "What is wrong with the show business?" she checked back at me. "You have come to the right person. I know the answer. "The trouble with this game is a set of unscrupulous owners and managers who seemingly have syndicated themselves together to stifle progress along the lines of art and entertainment. You feel that any kind of audience is good enough for a colored audience and their only desire is to have a comedian and a few half-naked girls on hand to keep the doors open. --- "They insult the intelligence and prey on the necessity of Negro patrons. They sense that the people must have some place to go for their needs, but the best talent possible, they palm off the worst as long as they can. "When the crowd gets fed up on that sort of diet, they try to book a good show and try to get it for the same money they pay an amateur ticket. They make up overnight. This is what a judge told me—and I'll name him if necessary—I have been losing money all year and I have to get out of the red on your engagement here. Therefore, I won't pay you money." "You have a family company. You don't need money because you all work and live together. Come in at my price or stay out." "Well, I stayed out. I am staying out and I never in my life will pay you. He tells me I have to toook the losses he has suffered from hum shows!" "Let me give you some figures in this particular case. Years ago when I had a smaller show he refused to pay me a guarantee of $1. I gave it to percentage taker to look away $2,700 for not for the receipts. The last time we played his house my cut for the week was $3,700. Then, when he tried to get me this fall, he offered me a guarantee of $1,600 instead of usual percentage saying that I. Mae Whitman, had to make up for the bad weeks other people had given him! "He offered me $1,600 for a company of 30 people. He offered me $490 in railroad fare, must cost me $490 in baggage and transportation to get there! (Excuse me if I am not us usual.)" "What encouragement does a producer get out of that sort of stuff? How can I improve and develop your shows and develop more money available for a good show than for a misfit outfit?" "This is what an owner did here in Philadelphia: He went to the individual members of a show in his salary was, offering them what their salary was, offering an excuse that he was about to produce a show and wanted to use them in it. At the end of the week he paid off the performers himself and paid the producer a musician's salary." "William mean to men of that type? Does my name stand for anything with them? For no more than Mabel Jack Rabbit! "With them it is an insolent 'What is it going to do about it? Take it or leave it.' "Well, I am one producer who can 'leave it.' "If these birds pay you a living wage they want you to guarantee that they will not rain or snow during the week you are booked with them. Something must be done and that quickly. "But there is another picture, a bright and cheerful one. All owners are not in that category. In the game there are men who apprehend work and your worth. They will ask for work and your worth, you ask or not hook you at all will feel that they can do so. And they will pay you the same money or percentage for return engagements. They try to give their patrons pleasure in achievement and you always work hard with the managers. Believe me, twenty years' experience by Mac Whitman means something to them. "In the West, Pittsburgh, Newark, New York, Atlantic City and here in Philadelphia are owners who will always give us enough to make out a season. They don't do it out of sympathy, they don't do it out of charity. "True, they are our friends, but they realize that we own more scenery and more costumes than parents and organization, thus reducing house and they know we are money-makers.

PRODUCER FLAYS THEATRE MGRS. & OWNERS Vidor Tells of Much Discussed "Hallelujah" Mae Whitman ```markdown ``` Miss Whitman Tells the Truth of a Most Deplorable Condition in Certain Theatres Catering to Negroes. No Inhibitions THE perennial popularity of Lew Lestle's "Blackbirds," the colored jubilee at the Ellingo Theatre, presents an interesting study in psychology. Norir, perhaps contributes spm to the gzZI, who performs, in their special mediums of emotion, the joy that they enjoy a, perfect emotional freedom. The "Blackbirds" have absolutely no emotional complexes. Dancing that might otherwise be self-conscious with its daring and sensational character is unhampered by the slightest trace of prudery or self-consciousness. The "Blackbirds" do not smirk and must buck to nature—they are nature. The comedy is not labored with the pseudo-sophistication of Broadway wiscracking—a pretentious gesture that often covers a multitude of inferior complexes. Tim Moore, Mantan Morland, Johnny Hudgins and the rest as impersonate dumb characters refuse to be grasped the half-baked viewpoint and capitalize it with a rebell. The song offerings of "Blackbirds" are not constrained with the vocal machinery—not uncommon on the stage—that manifests itself in stilted trilling and holding of high notes and what not. A Blackbird like Aida Alda is a bird who loves to dance and trills her mood in an easy, poignant abandon that comes from a close communion with sentiment—the colored entertainer's second nature. Probably no person on the stage is less inhibited than Adelaina Hall, the lovely-limited all-round entertainer on whom she much of the burden of the show. "I wear so little that I have to laugh myself," says Miss Hall. "I'm a big girl and when I dance I'm all legs; so Let her go!" I say. As a singer, I just my voice behave, so I don't ever try. Not a few of the other colored performers take their emotional cue from Miss Hall, and thus results the peculiarly concerted display of the show. "DEEP HARLEM" CLOSES Owing to circumstances over which the Whitney Brothers had no control "Deep Harlem" failed to open at the Billmore Theatre on Monday. The show will go on the road. playing Philadelphia first with other cities to follow. S. Tutt Whitney will contribute an article to these columns next week, giving in full his ideas of just why "Deep Harlem" failed to make the grade. In keeping with the policy of this paper, this will be an exclusive article, first to come from the pen of one of the producers of one of the most adversely criticized shows that ever made the attempt to win the favor of a Broadway clientele.

Vidor Hopes Film Will Vie With Best Will Be "Big Parade" of the Race, Says Director "We are trying to do for the Negro race what we did for the Negro in 'The Big Parade'—show in a film story a sort of cross-section of an entire people." This is the ideal of King Vidor, famous screen director, in film Halleluja, his first All Negro film drama. Its first Negro film which, Vidor hopes, will give the world a real understanding of the people whose lives he is depleting. "hallieujah" is one of the most elaborate film plays of the year. A movie about the Southern Negroes. It was filmed in Mississippi cotton fields, with actual cotton workers, and a cast of famous stage players of their race. Its talking sequences feature the singing of the songs by the famous Dixie Jubilee Singers. Most of the picture was filmed in and about Memphis, where the great baptismal scene and the cotton harvest sequences are shown. Several thousand people appear in more spectacular of these details. The cast or principals is a distinguished one. The hero, "Zeke," is played by Daniel Haynes, late of the New York stage production, "Show Boat," while Nina May McKenny of "Blackbirds of 1928," another New York stage show, is the fine Friar Lee Kulig, veteran character actress of the stage and who played in Belasco's production, "Lulu Belle." Victoria Splvey, celebrated "blues" singer and phonograph artist; Everett McGarrity, stage comedian; Harry Gray, who was a slave and freed under Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, is an evangelist, are others in the cast. Eva Jessye, famous composer, is musical directress, handling the Jubilee Singers and the special music for the production. Bill Fontaine, William Allen Garrison, who is also second assistant director, and others are among the principals in the picture are "Eight Ball," "Gin Rickey" and "Half Pint," small dancers brought from Memphis. Haynes, hero of the new picture, was featured with "Rang Tang" and understudy for Charles Glpin better known as the "Mother of the Masters" exhibited at Morris Brown University and the University of Chicago, where he won fame, incidentally, as center on the football team, he was ordained as a priest minor, but ordained this up for the national work until "discovered" as a stage player. The story of the new picture is Vidor's original, scenarized by Wanda Tuchock. T. A. "Red" Gol Layton and Johnstone 'Sitting Pretty' in England LONDON, Dec. 29.—"A grand and glorious feeling is" an appropriate way of expressing the manner in which the colored Layton and Joosten are sitting pretty at present, a London ex- traveller with a biggest drawing cards in England, and when they play London their salary is from $1,250 to $1,500 a week. Then they double in cabaret and at private entertain- ments. Just as a little sideline they occasionally do gramophone records. They drew down last year in royalties of $1,000,000, the current year will be even longer. They ride around in a Rolla Ryce driven by a white chauffeur, and Turner Layton has champagne and oysters for breakfast. Despite this extravagance there is still plenty left for investment, which takes the form of owning flat houses in New York's "black bolt" in Harlem. "Black Belt" Coming "Black Felt," the play by William Jourdan Rapp and Wallace Thurman, and really the first drama designed to portray Negro life in Harlem, has been placed in rehearsal by Edward A. Blatt, who will offer it as his first independent production the early part of next month. It is being staged by Chester Erkin, a talented young man discovered by the late Wallace Eddinger, and whose last work on Broadway was a vaudeville play which he wrote and directed for the late star.

Teacher of "Blackbirds" Star to Start Concert Tour The Director of the Music Department of Moran College, Baltimore, Maryland, has sent an invitation to Wellington Adams, prize composer of Washington, D. C., to visit the school and meet the student body while in Baltimore, Maryland, 24 years old. Willingham his four of the state in a program at the Providence Baptist Church that evening. New Yorkers, and for that matter the country at large, are unaware of the fact that Wellington Adams was the first and only music pupil of the state of the "Blackhawk" one of the stars of the show on New York's Broadway. Mr. Adams justly feels proud of the fame attained by his former music pupil, whom he taught both piano and singing. He predicted to her mother at the time that some of her voice would make her feel proud of her voice and that prophecy did mature in the course of time. In this case it is an unusual coincidence that both teacher and former pupil have lived to attain the age of 11 and their day, the former as a composer and the latter as a singing star in a Broadway production. Negro Musicians Will Now Be Admitted to England For the first time since 1925, says a wireless despatch to the New York Times, an American jazz band being allowed to enter England to play in vaudeville and in a night club. The ban imposed by the Ministry of Labor has been broken by Abe Lymans' players, whose British employers hope they will "introduce bridges to British jazz musicianship." A condition laid down by the Ministry of Labor in this instance is that the management of the night club must employ an equal number of British musicians during the stay of the Americans. One of the managers said: "However patriotic one may be, one is forced to the conclusion that we get our dances and our dance BY 8 SPECIAL REQUEST!

At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER Bessie Smith and a company of twenty opened at the Lincoln Theatre on Monday afternoon in "Steamboat Days" and, despite the extremely cold weather, the show was met by a large and appreciative audience. Fun from the comedy end is being furnished by the old reliable Sam Davels, and the peppy chorus of twenty youthful chorines put enough ginger in their work to lend zest to the offering of Bessie Smith. Supporting the revue end of the bill commencing Thursday will be Thomas McMahon, the author of one of those splendid pictures which received a warm welcome at the hands of the metropolitan critics when it first appeared on Broadway. Meighan is surrounded, by one of the best arrays of motion picture talent in this picture and it is bound to top anything of its kind. Along with the Lincoln during the past few months, "Georgia Penches" is the name of the revue which will be offered Lincoln patrons all next week.

AT THE LAFAYETTE Talking pictures made their bow to Harlem on Monday. Before a record matinee audience, the Viphate talking screen drama, "Lights of New York," brought to the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre one of the most real and important historical history of theatrical entertainment. Aside from the talking element (there are absolutely no written titles in the picture), "Lights of New York" is one of the finest melodramas ever screened. It is the story of a country boy who comes to New York City and is a girl with a gay night clubs and spakeasles of Broadway. He is finally implicated in a murder and is only saved by the work and devotion of two women—one, his sweetheart and the other the cast-off mistress of the murdered man. The audience sat spellbound throughout the picture. The usual splendid stage program followed the picture.

During Al Cooke & Alberta Vaughn theatre in Harlem OLN th STREET Broadway Stars Coming to the Lafayette for One Big Night LEW LESLIE IN CHARGE "Blackbirds," "Show Boat" and Other Big Shows Will Be Represented Tuesday (Midnight) The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, of which A. Philip Randolph is the directing head, will give Harlem another night of pleasure which hasn't been duplicated since that last midnight show staged in their behalf at the Lafayette Theatre last year. On that occasion many of the leading lights of Broadway came and actually made whoope until the early morning hours. Midnight of Tuesday will again find another roster of Broadway luminaries cavorting on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre for another benefit for the Brotherhood. On this occasion only a select number of acts will be allowed to appear, quality will predominate, there quantity could be easily be seized to clutter up the stage and become horrife. Low Leslie, who has successfully presented the famous "Blackbirds" in Europe and America and has responded to his challenge in the Florence Hills, has again gradually volunteered to take charge of the presentations and it is unnecessary to say much more on this end. Mr. Leslie, who has not over big from start to finish and he is doubly enthusiastic over the coming show. The music will be furnished by the orchestra from "Blackbirds," which alone is in good hands. Moon pass and moth water run under the various bridges before Harlem has the pleasure of listening to an orchestra such as furnish the Blackbirds to help make the success they are able to Broadway. Some of the stars to appear on this special bill will be Ailda Ward, Adelaide Hall, "Snake Hips," Moore, Robinson, John Hoggs, from "Blackbirds." From "Showbill" will come Mardo Brown, Aunt Jemma and the star of the entire Wagner. Robinson, John Hoggs, from "Hello Yourself" will come Peggy O'Nell, Billy Cullam and George Patten, the famous Alhambra Girls, Amanda Randolph, again putting the popper dancer in the house by storm last year and will easily repeat next Tuesday night. Others include Rolle Holder from the Billy Pierce Studio, the Four O'Neill, Bert Tucker, one of the immortal Sophie, and the Harmony Singers. Lack of space prevents a reproduction in full of all the acts to appear on this attractive bill at the Lafette midnight of next Tuesday. Cymbals and Drums BY the Editor. But This Is America In our last issue we particularly directed attention to Noble Sissie, a prominent Negro entertainer leading one of the numbers supported by a batch of the famous Tiller dancing girls at a theatre in Europe and the reasons of the European mind to artisans, regardless of color, as compared to the complex of the American whites when it comes to color. Without further comment, the following article taken from the columns of the New York World of Sunday: NEST KRENEK'S new opera, Jonny Split Au', which the Metropolitan Opera has performed, is a satire. Its principal character is a Negro, and a Negro played the part when the opera was produced abroad. The Metropolitan has deemed it advisable to change the hero to a 'blackface Michael Bohnen, bass-baritone of the Metropolitan, and associated particularly with Wagnerian roles there, will sing the opening lines of the opera. The opera was first performed at the Leijzig Opernhaus Feb. 11, 1827, and endeavors to "interpret the rhythms and atmosphere of modern life in this age" Max, a dreamy, idealistic composer, leans back to her hotel the opera singer Anita, who has strained to the spot where she must have been apostrophising the glam she admires. Scene II shows Anita's rooms as Max and she are now lovers—she is about to leave for Paris to perform at the opera. Max, chidishly pathetic, begs her to stay with him, but in vain. In Scene III, in the corridor of the Paris hotel where Anita is staying, Jonnie, the concert virtuoso, tolls Frenne, the chambermind (one of his conquests), that he must get hold of the famous violin owned by Danelio, celebrated concert virtuoso. Jonnie has come and gone, leaving his door locked, to the observant Jonny's rage) is sitting down to write a letter when the jazz violinist approaches her with proposals of a non- Though Anita admits of an "urge of the blood" in connection with Jonny's death, she allows Danteleo, who buys Jonny with a thousand-franch note in order to press the same proposals on his behalf. Jonny, in Danteleo's case the diva feels that she cannot resist. They disappear in her room, Jonny, entering Danteleo's room, and then leaving. The next morning, Anita, refusing Danteleo's pleas to remain, tells him she belongs to another, and it is off to her home. Jonny, his violin, makes a scene and Yvonne, FINE MIDNIGHT SHOW COMING TO LAFAYETTE Leslie to Direct Brotherhood Benefit Show discharged for negligence by the hotel manager, is immediately hired by Anita. The scorned virtuoso revenues himself by giving the chambermaid the ring Anita had given him, with injunctions to Mnx, with his, Dandelot, greeting. Scene V (Part 2) shows Max montenitalizing in a flower-filled room while awaiting Anita's return. In Scene I, she appears, and soon after Yvonne delivers the ring to Max. Max, who has followed the stolen violin (which he had concocted in Anita's banjo case) to Anita, appears with it. Max, who on recognizing Anita's ring has rushed out in agony, is next discovered (Scene VII) playing Hamlet to its beloved glacier, which he has been watching. Max makes the best of it. A radio loudspeaker from a nearby Alpine hotel now projects Jonny's jazz-band music and Danelieu, among the guests, recog- In Scene VIII Jonny appears in the railroad terminal, where three policemen are in search for him. Max (Scene XI) enters, curtsure of him to Adelmermann, and then to her. Adelmermann, her, Jonny, hard pressed, drops the stolen instrument on Max's baggage. The police discover it, arrest Max and go off with him. Anita, appearing in time to beg for help, enters the station house and explains that 'Max is not the thief, is refused, but in a scuffle, as he is trying to prevent Anita from going to the station herself. Yvonne gives him a push and an arrow, and the two men come oncoming locomotive and is killed. In Scene X Jonny knocks the chauffeur of the police auto in front of the station house unconscious, abducts Max, the two policemen accompanying him, and knocks the violin. Then, finally, in Scene XI, Max appears in the railroad terminal, where Anita and Yvonne are waiting for the train, just as it is about to leave, and together on their way to the ocean and the 'unknown Land of Liberty.' In an apotheosis Jonny appears as the genius of jazz. The great clock in the room, a man with a waving globe of the earth, and Jonny, standing on the North Pole, sets all humanity Charleston-stamping in the universal world-embracing dance of jazz. The Alhambra Management Gentlemen; For quite some time we have deemed it wise to allow our "official observer" to report on the entertainment you offer at your theatre, thereby utilizing our facilities in our various lines of endeavor on this paper. However, noticing that you were advertising the showing of the famed sea rider of the old world, you are adding to the sinking of the German warship, with its accompanying thread of a romantic story, we eased into the Alhambra Inst. Wednesday night and really We contend that we were particularly drawn to your house for another glimpse of the Enden. While this was the third days before the war, and the memory of the warm hospitality of the officers and men, to say nothing of the same thing at the end of the war, we were told of His Imperial Majesty's schoolships Stoch and Stein about the same time, left a sentimental feeling which we knew would be removed by seeing the Enden. Your chorus, famed as the Alhambra Girls, has lost nothing in its ability to entertain during the months we have been forced to forego a person. We have been surprised to find that your performers continue to "carry on" despite the drawal of many whom we have had occasion to refer to in our news articles. We have been surprised to find that the Alhambra and its gods, we have criminally forgotten the name of that other charming young lady who led the chorus to the sunshine. We have good to look upon, puts over her work nicely and has added another friend to her (surely) large number in the person of the writer. Her picture in these columns is so beautiful (Shoosh—we like her smile and would not mind basking in the sunshine of it. Don't worry, the wife is upstarts and she won't hern't us whispering this). She cut-up never, to our way of thinking, appeared to better advantage, and the fact that you cast her in the dramatic end, without allowing her to take her final place in the lightness of which you have our personal congratulations. It added to her work and if we did think the play an English one it only adds to an improvement to the ability of whom we were later told was responsible for it. The previous night we sat in the new Shubert Theatre to enjoy the antics of the Greenwich Village Pollies and all the ballads in maintaining what we expect in "atmosphere" at a theatre. Your programs handed around by the ushers add to said "atmosphere" and the obliterating ushers make sure we meet the exacting tastes of the element known as the better class if they will only turn out and give you a hand. These voluntary lines will be as much a surreal experience as the displeasure elsewhere, but try as we would we found it hard to resist the temptation to give you praises as we would readily give you censure if the occasion calls for it. We will remind you that we were as pleased with the other artists in your dynamic playlet as we were with the even tempered and gracious Amanda, and hope that we will meet them for another early visit to your theatre. —THE EDITOR Learn Piano JAZZ MUSIC!

That voice came from a sympathetic writer who tried hard to see promise in "Deep Harlem" at the Biltmore Theatre and not the fact as disclosed when the Cushites started from the depths of the Dark Continent to arrive in front of a Seventh avenue theatre to disclose for the edification of unutured minds that the trade of the plimp is one of the oldest in history. Closing our eyes we withdrew from a hat containing the criticisms of the metropolitan writers the appended article, which is the consensus of opinion as given forth last week after the gentlemen of the press had sat in on what a writer, whose partiality cannot be refuted, had taken advantage to tell us was the show of the age. Lot us read: "The first of the all-colored musical shows of the current season arrived at the Biltmore Theatre last night. It is called "Deep Harlem" and it is a noisy, very loud, very saline and considerably boring sort of pageant attempting to tell the story of the Negro race from early Africa to present-day Harlem, in terms of musical comedy. "The first scene is laid in the banquet hall of the castle of the king of the Cushites. It is a fantastic medley of cheap vaudilley, second-rate musical comedy, grand opera and what-not. At first, the bewildered spectators thought that 'Deep Harlem' would turn out to be a satire, a saline satire, to be sure, but a satire just the same. But the Messrs. Whitney and Tutt, as well as a huge cast, seemed to be deadly serious about it themselves, baffled spectators just sat back in their seats and permitted them even to play the musical jungles, Southern slave marshes, slave ships, Alabama plantations, Southern cabarets, through incredibly old and absurd pointless jokes, through Mexican blues and Kentucky blues, until they were forced to flee into the open for fear that their ear-drums would burst if they stood inside the theatre another quarter of an hour. "The cast is no better than the show itself. Not even the steppers and the chorus—usually the most arresting features of Negro shows—are up to the standard other all-colored entertainments have taught us to accept. The one thing that can be said in their favor is that they are deadly serious and genuinely ambitious all the time. But that's not much. No, 'Deep Harlem' just won't do." It is the humble opinion of this writer that the time is not yet here, a white man, and hardly anybody else, is going to voluntarily walk into a room and be tribalized of the race, when they are promised something in high ein—a musical comedy. When the time comes that the white brother is ready to leave the history from the race it is going to be via the heavy drum, and that time is apparently not yet here. Garland Anderson with his "Appearances" found this out when he made the pilgrimage to the Big Street, although he had the stamp of approval placed on his efforts by such brilliant minds of the theatre as David Belasco and Al Jolson. After the sentimental had been taken away from "Appearances" and fact got its chance, the New York theaterrecord decided that had his Walter Hampden, and those among them designated as the tired business man" also came to the conclusion that such as "Blackbirds" carry the entertainment in lighter vein from the colored brother which he craves. A rollicking musical comedy such as in expected from our side of the fence must not carry anything that will make the heart bleed, for one is so ready to laugh after being forced to carry the thought of the terrifying inflicted on a people. On the other hand, the white American is not satisfied to sit in a theatre and be reminded of the crime of Lynching, as such characters like in "Appearances." True, there are the exceptions who will appreciate the injustices inflicted at their hands upon America's most loyal race of people, but like so many do, they will run from truth as if from the palay. Many of us will seek consolation in what we consider the merits of a play, but after all is said and done even the idealist when he enters the theatre seeks coin of the realm and when that is not forthcoming those of us charged with telling of the impression of their attempts are forced to register for indulgent readers whether it is failure or success. We notot that one of the old musical comedies of Messrs. Whitney and Tutt would have made a better impression upon the exacting audiences of Broadway, for therein were contained the elements of what we have been taught to believe musical comedy as it obtains on the American stage. These gentlemen drew for their plot the humorous incidents surrounding a people who could readly see humor despite the tragedy in their lives; and that without any attempt at telling the story of the sufferings of the same people.

EIGHT Last Rites for Pastor's Wife Ministers of Many Denominations at Funeral of Mrs. Adah Tyler Over 1,200 people from every walk of life crowded into the historic Bridge Street A. M. E. Church Tuesday afternoon to pay the last tribute of respect to Mrs. Adah Eugenia Tyler, wife of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler. Prior to the funeral services the body lay in state and hundreds of colored and white persons who had learned to love Mrs. Tyler since her coming here seven years ago passed in solemn review to look at the remains. The Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, former U. S. Minister to Liberia and now president of Campbell College, Jackson, Miss, delivered the sermon. He was a personal friend of the family and did this at Mrs. Tyler's request. Presiding Elder Dr. George R. Coverdale of the Brooklyn District was master of ceremonies. Even in death the vory presence of Mrs. Tyler seemed to overshadow that is, in life she was so modest and so modest in her. These elements showed themselves in the conduct of the funeral rites. There was a printed program of the funeral rites, and the letter. After the services there was no general review of the remains, and this reflected her innate retiring disposition. In the memoirs of the family arrived at the church. They were met at the door by a group of clergymen that represented practically every denomination in the church. Dr. C. P.

They were in such large numbers that would not permit the reading of them. The next hymn was announced by the Rev. Klimbull Warren, pastor of Bokmeyr Church, that would not permit the reading of them. Upon the conclusion of the sermon by Dr. Hood the benediction was pronounced by Dr. A. R. Cooper of Bokmeyr Church, annual Conference of the A. M. Church. The floral tributes were many and, as they stood in silent testimony around the bronze casket with silver flowers, the flowers were in the love and esteem in which Mrs. Tyler was held.

"The day has come for the fellowship of all people," declared Cadman. "We are engaged in the splendid act of increasing the friendship between Christian and Jew. This is a new method of presenting our religion and the real progress nations depends on how they respond to this new religion. "All people are alike inasmuch as they worship one God. The New may not have as high a level of civilization as some white people, but tomorrow he will have the foundation to stand upon that he is bullying today." "Nowhere has progress been made in tolerance as in the South. The South has done with the past. Of ganizations have been formed certain religions to advance men's gardens of color.

Cofer Guidance Secretary, West Isle, West Branch, M. G. A. CAREERS FOR WOMEN. Teaching To my mind the teacher is one of the most important people in the world. She is the guardian of 40 or so children of plastic minds and changing lives in our community, when they closest contact with the child and through her solicitude and guidance steers the child through its younger days. She is partly responsible for the ethical standards as an intellectual, attitudes of the child. If you ask the average teacher what she does, she will undoubtedly say. "I teach." That word teach covers a multitude of things. She teaches students as subjects, be the individual counselor for her children, and see that they come to school neat, tidy and clean. She must provide a pleasant environment for her children, correct their behavior and help them cultivate root habits. Qualifications: To be a successful teacher you must have a real interest in children. You must be firm in your teaching. You must also speak correct English and have as good a store of general information as possible, for young children are always asking for different states and different states but it generally is a four-year high school course followed by a two or three-year normal course. Some states demand that you pass these assessments upon the completion of this course. Advantages: The greatest advantage is in the satisfaction one gets from the work. There is great satisfaction when students mind unfold and grow intellectually. There is also the advantage of Saturdays off, holidays throughout the year and the long summer vacation. There are many cities, but on the average it is fair. Disdvantages: The greatest disadvantage is the tiresome correcting of home work and examination settings and conferences which take a much of the teacher's time outside of the school hours. There is also a strain upon the nerves which is associated with teaching. In large schools a great deal of clerical work is involved in what most teachers dislike.

Jones Questions concerning motor trips and routes will be cheerfully answered by a self-addressed and sharped envelope. Rambling Through the Auto Show My most important weakness is the automobile, and as there are many folks who might "walk a mile in a Camel," likewise would walk a mile in a car automobile, or some novelty of one. Last week my weakness dominated and the twenty-ninth show of National Automobile Chamber of Commerce found me among the most curious questions about the "seemingly foreign" American manufactured cars. The changes from the 1928 models were plenty, the Essex leading with over seventy improvements in the motor and transmission. From the balcony of the second car I noticed that the prettiest cars on the main salon were the newly designed Willys-Knight roadster, the Oakland and Pontiac. Chrysler and Dodge are about the same and the new model has not changed any from that of the late 1980s but this game out during the month of August. Buick is the same and also the Nash. Then I unconsciously walked into two frankish body styles, Franklin and Auburn, respectively. The cabin speedster of the Auburn is quite an odd affair for those that are interested in the pleasure car Franklin the wise, has a queer body which should attract the attention of the theatrical folk. It has an invisible running board that can only be seen when the door of the car is open. The body is similar to a tank. I should after having seen the two queer looking cars what was to be next. I was astonished at the performance record of the little Austin in comparison with the size. A car was about the size of a baby carriage and capable of doing 50 miles per hour at a mileage rate of 42 miles to the gallon of gasoline. Over to the side there was the giant Mercedes-Benz guaranteed to make five miles per hour, and about three times the size of the tiny Austin. Its eight cylinders made the motor look as if it was the largest part of the car. The Americans are copying the European body styles and transforming them to meet the needs and comforts of the American people. The show was worth the time that was spent in seeing it. 10 11 12 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 LADIES' CLOTHING SILK UNDERWEAR FURS — JEWELRY For the Convenience of Customers: A.

J., went down to defeat at the hands of the Renaisaahoose Five at the night at the Renaisaahoose Casino by the visitors found a team somewhat crippled mentally and physically, for Manager Bob Douglass is in his bed with a very serious attack. Mayer on the shelf with a dislocated shoulder, and Capt. Slocum just out again after his recent illness, with no consequence not up to his true force. The champions played the Jerseyts off their feet to win as they pleased. The Ronasance quintet lost no game after the start of the game and went into a ten point lead, at which point he was an exceedingly brilliant exhibition snappy passing, making no effort to score baskets, even though time and again one of their players was in position to shoot an easy one. This pleased the team, and the team feels somewhat sheepish, even though they might have learned something about passing during the exhibition. The Sanders finally ended the half in the lead 19 to 8. Capt. Shannon gave Sanders a rest in the second half, and called upon lillie to hold down the pivot position. Monroe also replaced Ricks a few minutes earlier, and frame, and this new combination then led for 20 more points. The visitors, however, did a little better in their second half and scored 18 points. Roney of the St. Joseph team was also a score man of the game with 5 floor goals and 6 fouls for 16 points. Salich led the champions with 5-10 points for the first half and 5-10 points for 11 points. Pappy Ricks, playing in only the first half and a few minutes of the second, scored 5-10 points for 11 points. Next Sunday night the Seneca Indians five from the Tuscarara, the Irving Reservation, who are making a tour of the country, will appear at the casino as the opponents of the champions. The Indians have built up quite a reputation as a fast and dangerous team and a good game is looked for.

JANUARY 16. 1929 RENS CONTINUE VICTORIES AT HOME COURT Sol White Tells of So-called Baseball Leagues Our Baseball Leagues Our Baseball Leagues By SOL WHITE BASEBALL players are anxiously awaiting the outcome of a meeting to be held in the near future by owners of baseball teams who are interested in forming a colored league. Quite a few star ball players, familiar with the methods of business procedure of modern promoters, are of one opinion regarding the inferior status of the game today and the uncertainty of its future. The players unanimously voice a lack of confidence in the manner the Eastern Colored Leagues have been conducted in the past and cite conditions of a short three years back when salaries received were almost double the money offered today. PHILA GIANTS Some players seem to think that several owners of colored teams could have placed the game on a higher plane financially had they used their prestige, influence and social advantages in the interest of the league. The players now realize that something must be done to create interest and revive the spirit of sportmanship by which the profession will advance and prosper. They (the players) will tell you, in language easily understood, that some of the owners lack the knowledge to blend a baseball team into a successful league. On the other hand we have some baseball players who think that the present uncertainty and lack of interest and poor patronage is due to the reckless deportment of a few of our star players and the nutes will tell you that ball players cannot stand prosperity; that publicity swells their heads and demands for more salary are the result of boostings. The magnates, I am not including all, charge the ball players field and take the life out of a game to the detriment of its patronage. But who are we looking to bring the old game up to its proper place in our group? Where lies the responsibility for its future? It can workmen. It's a very poor policy of the players, because they are hired him ruin your business. So there seems to be some merit in the contention of ball players that the league, here before, has not been conducted in a way for a prosperous future. Basketball leagues are all right in a "way," but sometimes they don't "welch" much. Several clubs can organize a league any time, but the thing of it is, what they will do with it after they get it. Sometimes a meeting is called, a league is organized and then they are calling meetings all season to find out why they organized. Don't let that be the way with our league.

Dear Hir: Plain Congratulations Editor The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir--Allow me to congratulate you for your brilliant article on "Tex" Richard. In reply to your editorial, "The Pressing of Tex Hickard," which appeared in your edition, I intend to do as you did. But first, I wish to compliment you, because you wrote it as it was; it not only expressed your opinion, but acted as a test of the entire Negro race. True, as you said, the secret that Hickard had shown prejudice he promoted the Jefferies-Johnson beat at Iteen in 1810. Hickard, like many of his race, has risen to his heights in the expense of the Negro, only to turn him into an accomplice. In the boxing game today there are just such champions who feel the same way to colored contenders; especially Walker and Dundee, like you, will forgive, but not for forget. He Calls It International New York City. Dec. 10, 1928. Sports Editor. Amsterdam News. Dear Sir--Kindly allow me space to conduct your editorial in today's issue of The Amsterdam News. I call it the "International Editorial" or "in- ternational." Yours truly, W. L.

CAREK, 89 Edgecombe avenue, New York City, bursa, RUSSELL, but lack of space presents our natural desire to share the presents our curators, hence our commendable contribution will be returned to you with the thanks and appreciation of the editor. Mr. Reinoe L. Dougherty, The New York Amsterdam News 295 Seventh Avenue, N. T. C. (800) 255-7222 Please permit one who has always believed in your brand of journalism to thank you for your very timely and well- written editorial. The Passing of Tax would like to shake your hand on the ground. You have done the colored brain the race as a whole a service in bringing this estimate of this most detestable to the force. Hickard, as you so well pretend, is the enemy of the colored man in the United States. You perhaps did not consider it proper to mention his statements about Jack Simon, when that very fine fellow you did not consider it proper. Did you of how easily the "brother" forgets brings to mind the story, which was told by a Southern Senator, who said the band that the man will always feed the band that the man will and pat the foot that had kicked him. Moved by His Emotions WHEN it comes to racing over the parchment in approved style there are few that can breast the tape ahead. Our good friend Dr. Rollo Wilson, once a champion, but now of Philadelphia, and now of Courier. Our admiration for the good doctor made us almost partial when it came to giving an estimate of his ability in the world of sport, but Rollo has been a staff recently that calls for a few lines. His hope will do much in arresting his tendency to be misguided by his emotions. Dr. Wilson a few weeks ago ran a rumble in an article in what a number of magazines "magazine secrecy" on the cover of his book "death of Walk Miller and the latter's association as manager and business mentor of the late Peter Flower. With his assistance the same team unleashed the Philadelphia chess team. Burry Corrison columnist gave us a brilliant essay on why George Stiffey was permitted to fight for the championship, and assures he suddenly found out that that champion WILL fight for the championship. You are justified in telling the truth about those whom in their lifetime had been enemies of the people. As you may, it is open in respect to he frank and open in respect to the malicious as the lead in a man of public reputation. The story is told that when Senator Lodge had passed away, a Mr. Lee Nighman was asked by a friend if he was going to attend the funeral of the late, and which he replied, "No; but I enjoy it." spurred on by emotions called forth on the death of "Text" Richard and appalled on the anxieties to get the attention of the crowd, the morbidly "emote" whatever the new audience up to a public character, we find Iolaire, the titling of the appended article in the This in the spirit. If more colored clothes we would today be far better off. The result that there are so few enem in the world that we can afford to charge son thinks that to say one is better than another. WHOSE WORD, BRUTUS? In a dream which our good friend, W. Rolle Wilson, experienced while on a mythical trip to the moon he tells us the word 'Rickard was the letter's bond, this dream closewere on this page. Mr. Wilson would have us be lieve he is so far on the inside of boxing he know all about the details wherein Mr. Rickard had planned to stage a fight between George Godfrey and Jack Dempsey at summer. As we have pointed out, Mr. Wilson's article, he failed to hit when time came for him to say something because Mr. Rickard had passed away. Let us now see what the man whose word is his bond had to say where Negroes are concerned after the Jeffries-Johnson fight: "Boxing been good to me and I don't want to hurt boxing. I never formed to hurt those California women on their knees praying to my wife to use her influence to stop the spectacle of black and white man fighting. I'll never forget the riots blamed on the fight. It can't be done. I could match and Dempsey and put over the greatest man in history. But I won't do it. Boxing would suffer and I owe boxing too much for that." It is a good thing that Mr. Rickard used the word "boxing" instead of "fighting," for we were getting ready to ask his friends how many California women went down on their knees and men from fighting to keep black men from fighting to men when the Germans started a big drive. We also notice that despite thousands of black men going into that fight to whip white men there was not one riot or a semblance of one when the announcement was made of the plans of the late President Obama, you don't look out, Rollo, we'll make that the Pennsylvania Boxing association knew what they were doing when they passed you up in the run for office. Hill Center Lost Friday On Friday, Jan. 11, an exciting and hard fought game between the Tigers and St. Louis boys was staged at Columbus Hill Community Center in which the St. Louis fans emerged victorious.

We sincerely ask our friends in the boxing game to lavishly spread cold cream or vinaigrette on their hands, and to show their outstretched, and among whose friends, particularly designate Jesse McMahon, Mr. Hickard's former matchmaker, whom Mr. Hickard will get as much fun out of Jello's bon appetit as the dose day night at the Olympia when he cracks the office door to pike off a board journalist taking his seat at the boxing ring. He really meant to give readers on account of the fights in his journal. Rollo also natively hints that he is "on the inside," a smack most of a desire, to join in the fight. Rollo is the best that our Philadelphia friend could produce in a plach. Let us read and wear: It may be told. Now that death has intervened, that which was a secret need no longer be inviolate. Text Hickard was the man who was to promote the proposed fight between Jack Spencer and George Godfrey next summer. "Autohowing as it may seem to those on the outside, the shore statement is based on authentic information, on personal sight of telegrams between some of the principals, and the assurance of a non whose best bond is no better than his solemn word." "Tex Richard, had he lived, would have made the most superb gesture of his dramatic career in the promotion of this knife. As I have hinted for weeks, the lines were being drawn, the cards were being smacked for this fight. False rumors were minding the lines. Had they been made to them by the Master of the Show, The big hallyhoo was on, and yet so shrewdly was it plotted that less than a dozen people knew the truth." "Jack Bemsey is old as fighters go and and tired of the war. He is weary of the weeks of training, the exerfice necessary for physical perfection. But Jack was Richard's yale, and Jack would forever anything, endure anything, to help the man who made him a millionaire. For RICKARD, Jack would once again enter the hempen sing." "With Richard dead, will Bemsey still look with fatu or another championship tussel. That, now, is the question." "If Trumpy will light for another the light he will stand and, and the Bell Follish will will stand, the entirely end of the Texican life. The entirely end of the Texican will not injure the drawing power of the Texican, the natural "natural" it will advertise itself, itself, as boned there will be no necessity of a full-up, flouch Tex would have a full-up, flouch Tex the length and breath of the country." RENAISSANCE LEADER VERY ILL Manager 'Bob' Douglas Suddenly Stricken and Is Taken to Hospital A shock which went through the entire athletic world of this city last week like a sudden stroke of lightning followed the news of the illness of Manager "Bob" Douglas of the Renaissance Five, which was exclusively told in those columns in the newspaper. Of friends took lightly the news of the illness of the popular manager when first announced, many believing that Douglas was simply indoors on account of a slight cold. His equipment came thick and fast as the work progressed. It was discovered that Douglas was stricken with a case of double pneumonia which showed the first symptoms on the previous Saturday when started out to join his team, which had been scheduled to play at Elmhurst. Douglas, providentially, missed the train, for while he was on his way home in the company of Chris the world, suddenly dudderly hit the street and home. Dr. Leo Fits Nearon diagnosed the case as double pneumonia and immediately devoted his time and talent to Douglas, a friend of Smith and Salch, were placed in attendance on the manager as a case of typhoid later developed and Douglas was a very sick man. Smith decided that the seriousness of the case demanded quick removal to the hospital of the patient and he was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where Monday afternoon it was said Douglas was ill and the illness of the popular basketball manager throw his associates into deep deception, although they immediately tried to do everything in their best friend and business companion. On account of the close relations which have always existed between these gentlemen of the Renaissance, steps were immediately taken to equip the team of the work. Captain Slocum of the team took charge of the schedule and the outfit will continue to "carry on" the same as in the past. Expressions of sympathy were flooded in 1831 by the family and in behalf of the family Messrs. King, Sibley and Mercer sent out thanks through this paper for the unusual display of warm friendship with the Smith and Bob Douglas. Through the columns of this paper friends will be kept advised of Douglas' condition. VARSITY FIVE BEATS PASSAIC Jan. 19 Desplaying a bewildering passing game, Dazzling speed and unimaginable ability, the New York Varsity Club from Harlem trimmed the Passale Roys' Club (white), January S. on the varsity court by a score of 40 to 38. A large crowd saw the Harlem linda trumpet for the first time over Passale. The contest was one of the fastest, cleanest and most thrilling to be seen on any court this season. Four times the score was tied. Six times the varsity hold an advantage, while eight times the Varsity took the lead. It was a heart breaking game for Passale, the Passale score held defiant at the hands of the Varsity Club. The Varsity's amazing passing ability and ability to handle the ball while the clean record score held defiant for the defeat of Passale. Coach Whitaker used a man for man defense that completely disrupted Passale's short shots. Ten seconds after the start of the game Kovallicky dropped in a passable out in front. While regainment of the line, but the score was knotted again when Miller and Whittaker sent the pumpkin sailing through the hole, and broke the tie on Turtichin's fault. On the play Garde and Plechowal dropped in a basket each to bring the Passable score to 24 points. At this time the coach defense crumpled, and their coach repeatedly shifted his lineup. With five minutes to play and testing by 10 points the Varsity team completely swept the Pasadena conference off their feet.

Wherever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. Whose Business Is It, Anyway? IN THE FIRST EDITORIAL in this series The Amsterdam News said that "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 that the management was too autocratic in spirit. The assertions were provoked by the withholding of leases and subscription agreements binding the owners and the tenant-subscribers, but which the tenant-subscribers did not have in their possession. Since the appearance of the first editorial it is probable that most of the subscription agreements have been delivered to the tenants. THE SECOND EDITORIAL viewed "with alarm the fact that out of the pockets of the tenant-subscribers . . . the better part of twenty thousand dollars" went directly into the coffers of the Bruce family, the head of which is the resident manager. In neither editorial was gross inefficiency charged; nor were the amounts paid members of the Bruce family deemed exorbitant. WE STILL BELIEVE that Mr. Rockefeller erected the apartments with a view to bettering the housing conditions of the Negro in New York City, and that he is entitled to interest on his investment. We know that if he had been interested solely in making money the same amount he invested in the Dunbar Apartments could have been invested elsewhere at a much higher return. Nevertheless, we are convinced that somewhere, somehow, his intentions have miscarried and that the people who subscribed to stock in the corporation are not being dealt with in a fair and equitable manner, as set forth in the agreement. For instance, one tenant-subscriber, who subsequently gave up his apartment, reports that his "monthly credit of stock was not worth the ink that was used on the paper to write it down," and his assertion has been borne out in every case that has been brought to our attention so far. THIS WILL BE brought out in detail later. We quote from the long-delayed lease and subscription agreement, as follows: A BOARD OF ADVISORS, consisting of six (6) subscribers, shall be elected one each from the respective subscribers occupying each of the six apartment buildings mentioned in said leases, by a plurality vote of a majority of all of such subscribers occupying each of said apartment buildings, which will be held during the month of April in each year. The owner will notify the respective subscribers in the manners hereinafter provided and at least ten days in advance of such meetings, of the date, time and place thereof. No failure to give such notice shall affect the validity of any action taken at any such meeting. At such meetings the respective subscribers shall be entitled to one vote each, regardless of the number of shares of stock which shall have been issued to them. The Board of Advisors shall confer, from time to time, with the officers and Board of Directors of the owner and shall place before them such suggestions and recommendations of the subscribers as shall have been first approved by the Board of Advisors, and in general the Board of Advisors shall co-operate with the owner in its management and operation of said apartment buildings in such manner as the Board of Directors of the owner may by resolution from time to time more fully provide for, but otherwise the Board of Advisors shall have no powers, duties or authority. THUS IT WILL BE SEEN that as far back as last April a Board of Advisors should have been elected to co-operate with the owner and management, at which time a majority of the apartments were occupied. Mr. Bruce reported to the tenant-subscribers that the apartments were 100 per cent sold on May 14, 1928. No provision has been made to comply with this provision—which the tenants knew nothing about until they received their subscription agreements a few days ago—up to this date. RETALIATORY MEASURES against these articles and editorials on the Dumbar Apartments were begun last Thursday when dispossess proceedings were started against the editor of The Amsterdam News and the husband of an editorial department employee by the resident manager on the ground that they were in default in the payment of their January 1 installments as tenant-subscribers, as set forth elsewhere in this issue. Petty intimidation of this kind, however, will not prevent The Amsterdam News from continuing to turn the spotlight of public opinion on a subject it considers its business, the business and interest of all of the tenant-subscribers and the general public. American Phariseeism THE MAN IN THE STREET Letters to the Editor to be published under this heading should be plainly written on one side of the paper only, and should not exceed 250 words in length. Your full name and address must be given, although this information does not necessarily have to be printed. Dr. DuBois and the Press DR. W. E. B. DUBOIS has done more for the advancement of the American Negro than any other living man. At a time when the doctrine of eternal Negro inferiority was in vogue, when Negroes themselves were succumbing to the theory that they were natural sons of the hoe and not of the pen, when they were told to look at the world of art and intellect as a worm looks at the unattainable clouds, when the general policy of the race was to suffer everything and resent nothing, DuBois stepped bravely forward to champion the unpopular cause of Negro aspiration. WITH FLAMING pen he combated the trend of the times. Hated by sycophants, ridiculed by compromisers, assailed by the Uncle Toms and their white masters, he fought on and on, insisting that the Negro be granted a full share in the wealth, the art and the government of the world. He never retreated, never glossed over the wrongs of his race, never cried peace when there was no peace. In due time he won his fight, he compelled the world to look beyond the Negro body to the Negro mind, and he cleared the way for the present efflorescence of Negro arts and letters. He still fights on for justice to the Negro and the union of all the Negro peoples of the world. IN VIEW of these great services, many people have wondered why DuBois has never won the public affection that was so freely given the other great leaders of the race. Douglass, Fortune, Washington and others in their day were idolized by the colored people. They, too, had their faults, but they were the more or less endearing weaknesses of humanity in general. The mass of the people admire DuBois from afar but take him to their hearts. Though his heart is burning and bleeding for them, though he is fighting their own fight, they do not feel that he is really one of them. FOR THIS RELUCTANCE there is more than one reason. For one, his services, though vital, are not or the kind to be appreciated by the masses; they belong to the world of the intellect. The people can understand a Douglass thundering against slavery, a Fortune cursing the police for brutal treatment of Negroes, a Washington building a tremendous school, a Dunbar voicing their joys and woes in song; but a DuBois effecting a psychological revolution is rather beyond them. They are uced to leaders of men; DuBois is a leader of thought. EVERY VIRTUE has its corresponding fault, and it is DuBois's double misfortune that both his virtues and his faults have cost him popularity. His scholarly aloofness, though gradually melting with the years, has caused him to be accused of a lack of human sympathy for the average Negro, and his occasional tactlessness has aggravated the disfavor. THIS FAULT was too plainly illustrated in a recent speech, in which he told the people of Washington that their support of The Crisis would not be missed if it were entirely ON THE morning of December 27, 1928, I received a circular calling for a conference to be held in Washington, D.C., on the eighth of January, to oppose the proposed Cruiser Bill sponsored by the present administration. The recently negotiated treaty to renounce war and the bill for ten new battleships were then rival claimants for congressional consideration. The conference of protest was sponsored by the leading publicists, scholars and idealists of America. The margin between abstract morality and political ethics is a wide one. Every moralist in America protested the Mexican War and the seizing of Texas. We hold fast to our far-flung insular possessions in moral defiance of every principle which we once held to be ideally sound. We drove the Spanish monarch from the Western Hemisphere over the issue of the sinking of a ship. I can recall that, when the sinking of the Maine was the decisive issue, the ardently patriotic Senator from Alabama advocated sendin' down to Havana a committee of investigation to ascertain the cause on an American battleship; but on uncanniness the doughty Senator also believed there would be little need of the investigation until after the bolching of the battleship.

Jackson Believes Personal Grievances Actuated Dunbar Series. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: I have been a reader of your paper for a number of years. I was surprised to see in last week's is- nd the Press has done more for the advance-chan any other living man. Atternal Negro inferiority was in lives were succumbing to the CRITICISM sponsor the election in Nicaragua and write the Constitution of Haiti. Seven patriotic Presidents since the term of Benjamin Harrison have placed one hand on the Holy Evangel and lifted the other to high heaven in solemn oath to execute, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and yet no one of them has lifted the little finger to give this oath full effectiveness and force. Men who still believe in the existence of an interested Deity would be compelled to regard this oath as sacrilegious, so far as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are concerned. Practical prudence and statesmanlike prudence render a solemn oath utterly meaningless. I suppose that Negroes mainly will read these lines, and yet they have a significance which for transcends any limited racial application. The American people have ceased to take their moral pretensions seriously. The Constitution itself becomes a scrap of paper when it suits the mood of the people to make it no. A great publicist defies the part of the Constitution which does not suit his taste and fancy and encourages others to like defiance, without a word of rebuke from the Government whose sworn duty it is to safeguard that instrument in its integrity. The moralists express amazement at President Coolidge for presenting to Congress a treaty to outlaw war in one hand and a request for ten new battleships in the other. To the pragmatical statesman there is no moral inconsistency. Of course, England THE STREET should be plainly written on one a l address must be given, although to be printed. sue the criticism of the mannage- ment of the Dunbar Apartments. This criticism seemed to me quite petty. I do not believe that the public is interested in the salaries of the Bruce family other than to be happy that they are in a position to demand such salaries. Mr. Rocke- feller evidently recognized their ability for the work. Personal grievances or objections should not lead in to unfair or destructive criticism. The public would appreciate and does enjoy reading that which is unblessed, elevating and constructive. Sincerely yours. (Signed) V. B. JACKSON. 253 West 118th Street. Jau. 12, 1929. withdrawn.

In the same address he angered the newspapermen by declaring that advertisements are given to Negro newspapers either as charity or as a sort of blackmail, simply to keep the newspapers off the advertisers. These remarks, subsequently explained by Dr. DuBois, were not nearly so bad as they sounded; but even with his interpretation they cannot be called anything but tactless. THE PEOPLE bore with the faults of their other great leaders because of their services, and they should bear with DuBois. As a brilliant leader of thought, he is doing as much for them as their leaders of men. Lynching and Liberals THERE WERE only eleven lynchings in 1928. That is, only eleven were recorded. Not all the violent deaths of Negroes in the South find their way into the newspapers. According to escaped peons and others, a Negro is often shot or beaten to death and the coroner ascribes it to natural causes. There is some encouragement in the fact that the number of lynchings dropped from thirty in 1927 to eleven in 1928, though the 1928 record is just eleven too many. OF THE ELEVEN LYNCHINGS six occurred in Mississippi, two in Texas, and one in Missouri, in Louisiana and in New Mexico. Georgia was caught napping this year; she didn't produce a single lynching. In view of the Southern argument that lynching protects womanhood, it is significant that of the eleven men lynched only three were accused of attacking women. Two men were lynched because their brother had killed a sheriff, and one man was lynched without being accused of anything. THE STATEMENT of Governor Bilbo of Mississippi, when he was asked to investigate the lynching of Charley Shepherd, proves the necessity of a Federal law to cope with the Southern lynchers. Governor Bilbo said that he had neither the time nor the money to investigate lynchings. When the constituted authorities of a state admit their inability or unwillingness to deal with crime it is high time for the national Government to take a hand. IT IS ALSO TIME to ask what has become of all the justice-loving liberals who rushed to Boston in 1927 and got themselves arrested for their violent demonstrations on behalf of Sacco and Vanzetti. These two men were allowed to live seven years after the commission of the crime with which they were charged; they had trial after trial; even after the courts condemned them their case was referred to a special committee of distinguished citizens; professors wrote books defending them; and the liberals still raise their hands in horror at their execution, "that gross miscarriage of justice," as they call it. They still contend that Sacco and Vanzetti were executed because they were Anarchists. WE ASK THESE LIBERALS to tell us why it is more unjust to execute a legally convicted man because he is an Anarchist than to burn an unconvicted man at the stake because he is a Negro. They filled the daily press with their lamentations about two Anarchists, but they ignore the lynchings of Negroes in the South. - SPECIAL ARTICLES --- will renounce war if convinced that America is her superior in naval power. The accommodating Senate has agreed to pass the pacific treaty and will then proceed forthwith to provide for the requisite number of battleships to enforce the hoped-for pacificism. The pacifists may indeed meet and deliberate and indulge in fine-spun theories. Is it not well that our doctrine is better than our deeds? Keep the heart pure, for out of it are the issues of life. Our principles should always be better than our practice, which should aim at perfection by constant approximation. Conduct pays homage to conscience by acknowledging its unattainability. Our Puritan Presidency Quaker successor, in their calm manner, is the inner voice of right, but when geared up to the machinery of governmental task they will be motivated by practical rather than abstract guidance. H. G. Wells has said somewhere that the religions of the world have become insincere and unconvincing. Christians no longer live up to their creed. Shall we bring the doctrine down to the deed, or the deed up to the doctrine? The statesman does not profess to live up to his constitution or declaration of principles. Shall we vitiate the Constitution to suit the exigencies of statemanship, or hold the statesman up to the high aim of the Constitution? Are we as a nation to become frankly a nation of hypocrites, or will our present-day hypocrisy give way to genuineness and sincerity? side of the paper only, and this information does not GERMANS PUBLISH POETRY ANTHOLOGY Under the title "Afrika Singt" (Africa Sings), a German publisher has issued a collection of American Negro poetry in German translation, accompanied by biographical notes on the poets represented.

The heart beats take place in a definite cycle along a definite pathway in the walls of the heart and may be affected not only by disease in the heart itself, but by outside nervous influences. THERE are two types of heart irregularity which are very common and often the cause for much worry for those who have them. The first impression one gets is that he is suffering from heart disease. This is not true in the great majority of cases. The heart beats take place in a definite cycle along a definite pathway in the walls of the heart and may be affected not only by disease in the heart itself, but by outside nervous influences. Palpitation is an unduly forcible and sometimes irregular heart action perceived by the subject. It may occur in disease of the heart, but is much more frequently nervous in origin. It seems to be more common in women and, in them, is often associated with anemia, womb trouble, worry, stomach disorders and overindulgence of coffee. In males it is often due to oversmoking, alcohol and fatigue. Attacks may be brought on by comparatively trivial causes, such as slight emotional disturbance or sudden exertion. The attacks vary in frequency and duration. They may come on at long, or short intervals, and they may last a few minutes to some hours. When severe, they are accompanied by a sense of faintness, with some degree of pain around the region of the heart, sensations of vertigo and noises in the ears, a fullness in the head and sometimes perspiration. The milder attacks are more transient and may give rise to a sudden feeling Cheating the Color Line THE WHITE GIRL. By J. H. Sears & Co., New Y.

"SHE was not indignant at the thought that white people's prejudice prevented her from earning a living from the work for which she was fitted. She did not once consider the injustices suffered by her race. She did not care what happened to other colored girls. She did not like Negroes. She considered them a shiftless people, who deserved their lot. She resented her Negro blood as a might hate a deformity, because it stamped her an infestation." The girl who felt all this was Solaria Cox. She was a Chicago colored girl, but her skin, hair, features, affections and affections were Caucasian. She wished to pass for white not because of larger social, economic or aesthetic opportunities, but because she actually hated colored people. She hated the mother who nagged her and despised the father who worked himself to death to rear her, not for their defects but for their color. To her, the worst white person was better than the best Negro; she would rather be a white man's mistress than a colored man's wife. Two respectable colored men propose marriage to her and she rejects them insultingly; but she enjoys a pick-up acquaintance with a white stranger on a bus. As she is depicted as a virtuous, industrious and ambitious girl, the reader by this time knows how her story will end if it proceeds logically. And it does. She comes to New York-to pass for white. She gets work as a photographer's model, chumming with two white girls, one of them a demirep and the other a baby-faced gold-digger. Then begins a career which is satisfactory on the material side and shoddy on the spiritual. Whenever Solaria sees a colored person she trembles for fear that her race may be detected. Soon she is paying black-mail to a Negro elevator boy who has recognized Negro blood in her. After that she flees from pillar to post to escape the shadow of her race, and her life is one scare after another. Even among white people she is never at ease; she feels a menace in a chance remark or a keen glance; she is startled at the mention of the word Negro. Besides, she sees mostly the manner side of the white race, the kept women, the silly pimps, the flesh buvers, the dope-dealers, a set without one estimable character. But even this does not change her idea that the worst whites are better than the best blacks. At last she meets a decent white man and falls in love. They become engaged without her confessing her race. Her constant fear of exposure causes several quarrels and her lover wonders what is the matter. Ther is always the dread question of what he will do if he finds her out. Complications and misunderstandings pile up as the story draws to its end. What the end is may be learned for 92, the price of the book.

It is sometimes difficult to assure a patient, after efforts have been made to rule out any serious disease of the heart, that the condition is not serious, and really comes from some sources outside the heart. The treatment consists in removing the cause, allaying the anxiety and regulating the diet and hamits. Tea, coffee, alcohol and tobacco should be forbidden and mild sedatives administered. The other common heart irregularity comes as an extra heat. This may or may not be felt by the individual, but is readily recognised on examination. In the absence of a weak heart, this symptom is of very little consequence. It is common in young people and often associated with excessive cigarette smoking. The cause, however, may be the same as is the case of palpitation. Vera Caspary. Published by Work. $2.00. At the thought that white people stated her from earning a living which she was fitted.

It is well written, but it is in terms of situation rather than character. The author has not gone deep enough into Solaria Cox's nature. The thousands of colored people who pass for women could tell the author a thing two. Like all human beings, they have conflicting emotions, but Solaria's run only one way. They are neither as small-souled nor as small-minded as Solaria Cox. Solaris's only use of her hest is to put a hat on it. Resolving to break away from her race completely, she lets her family knot just where she is and doesn't ever warn them that she is "passing". Any day a member of her family may innocently break in upon her and spoil her whole game. She lets an ignorant elevator boy extort 55 a week blackmail from her, something which she could have forestalled with a modicum of the intelligence. She even visits a colored family in Harlem in the company of white people, which for her was about as safe as jumping off Brooklyn Bridge. She tries to sneak over a marriage with a white man and condemn herself to a lifetime of terror. She was not nearly so intelligent as most of the race she designed. Thus when dealing with Solaris Cox and the scenes of Norlo life the author seems to have depended upon hearray. The white characters and settings are drawn with a surer touch. The doll-baby Dell Findlay, the nymphomaniac Rita, the pouter-pigeon Oscar, the sucker Bernard and the snake Bell are all alive; the atmosphere and materials of the model's life have the air of reality. With all this material for a fine novel of the New York working girl's life and with such talent for presenting it, one wonders why the ashror should have bothered herself with a little toad like Solaris Cox "The White Girl" is a better novel of the New York model than it is of the race line.

TWO birds within one nest; Two hearts within one breast; Two spirits in one fair, Firm league of love and pray: Together bound for aye, together, blest. An ear that waits to catch A hand upon the latch; A step that hastens its sweet rest to win. A world of care without. A world of strife shut out. A world of love shut in. —DORA GREENWELL AUBREY BOWSEE Home
