Sergeant Banks was formerly with Company B. First Lieutenant Roy Morse, who also served ten years, did not receive his medal on account. It is said, of some delay. Parade and drill tactics consumed a large part of the program. a large part of the program. A similar loving cup from the George Washington Cemetery, 6.11 of the American Legion, was awarded to Company D under command of Captain Alkina, for proficiency during the infantry's camp tour last year. An interbattalion relay race under the supervision of Lieutenant Morse, was a pleasing feature of the program. The first battalion won first prize; fourth battalion, second; second battalion, third. The runners included Wainwright, Halsey, Ash and Warfield, who gave the vast crowd a thrill by falling twice and sliding about ten feet or more each time. Members of the medical corps participated also. "War Declared!" The rattle of machine guns and the staccato hark of rifles was heard in a scrimmage conducted against "the enemy" by Captain Homer C. Eutier of Machine Gun Company M, assisted by Captain Thoronat H. Wood of the Medical Detachment. The floor of the armory became a battlefield when the "enemy" opened rifle fire on Company M, who advanced man by man, firing as they went. A few were "shot" as the fight began, but the enemy suffered greater "casualties" as the machine guns advanced pace by pace from Gentle FOR SHAMPOOING Use LA-EM-STRAIT HAIR SOAP LA-EM-STRAIT HAIR SOAP FOR THE HAIR AND SCALP No-Ro Co.

Montgomery, Alabama Detectives Moore, Webber in Uniform Detectives Moore, Webber in Uniform Inside Trouble at Sixteenth Precinct Reported Reason for Demotion Detectives George Webber and Marlam Paul Moore of the Sixteenth precinct, considered "ace" men, were "flopped" Friday morning when they were ordered to report for duty the same day as uniformed patrolmen. "What reason do you assign for their transfer?" a reporter asked Leutenant John W. Shields, in command of the detective division, yesterday. "No reason at all," he replied. "The orders came from downtown. Being a detective is only a temporary assignment, anyway, and any one of us, including myself, may be transferred at the discretion of Police Headquarters." "Was there any complaint concerning their work?" he was asked. "None whatever," was the reply. "It was just something that can happen at any time." Replying to another question, Lieutenant Shields declared that detectives under his command could be transferred upon his recommendation. "But I am not permitted to discuss their case," he said, "according to the rules of the Department." It is reported that the cause of the transfer originated at the Sixteenth precinct. Robinson Promoted Patrolman William N. Robinson, who served a short term in plainclothes under Inspector Valentine before he was placed in uniform, was promoted to the detective division in the same precinct yesterday morning as a third grade detective. His high merit of police work, both in plainclothes and uniform, is responsible for his advancement, it is said. Moore and Webber were also third grade men, having served two years and one year, respectively, in the detective division to which they were advanced from the uniformed ranks. The return to the same station of former Detective William Boyden, first grade acting sergeant, who resigned when he was ordered to report in uniform and assigned to Brooklyn following his presence at a card game, is anticipated in the near future. The two other Negroes serving in the detective division are Police George Samuel J. Battle and Detective Joe Brown, making three in as against five formerly.

A. A. C. P. Official (Continued from Page 1) men's policy in this respect, Mr. Bagnall wrote Mr. Bruce as follows: "Dissatisfaction, discord, intrigue, grife and infinite trouble must come to any cooperative community where the management follows such policy, which is of the most destructive nature." Those Mighty Rules During a period of absence from the city by Mr. Bagnall, Mr. Bruce wrote him, on July 26, 1928, as follows: "From so very many sources, including Mrs. Bagnail herself, I have learned from time to time of her unwillingness to abide by the rules and restrictions of this cooperative community that I am now persuaded to advise you that, in case you desire, on that or any other account, to give up your apartment, the management has every reason to believe that it can resell the same almost immediately—so large is our waiting list. We only await instructions and authorization from you to proceed. I need not add that the rules and restrictions in question are Just as much a part of the community as the brick walls. "With sincere good wishes, I am "Felicitly yours, ("Signed) ROSCOE C. BRUCE.", Mr. Bagnall acknowledged receipt of Mr. Bruce's "asounding letter" on July 28, demanding to know what rules were broken, and Mr. Bruce replied on July 30 that he preferred discussing the matter in a personal conference. On July 31 Mr. Bagnall insisted upon a full, detailed, written complaint and Mr. Bruce wrote back on August 2, saying that Mr. Bagnall had already been sent a copy of the house rules, thus implying that Mrs. Bagnall had probably broken all the house rules indiscriminately and asking Mr. Bagnall to specify precisely what, if any, additional information he might want. Mr. Bagnall again demanded a written complaint on August 6, stating: "I am quite sure if you knew how widespread is the dissatisfaction with the manner in which certain rules are administered, and how rapidly that dissatisfaction is destroying the harmony of the group and converging towards organized protest, your attitude would be different. . . . I wish to help make this experiment a success permitted to do so, but I must insist on common courtesies and mine even when our opinions may differ about the management's about certain things." In this letter Mr. Bagnall also took exception to Mr. Bruce's reference to selling his apartment. Mr. Bagnall never having mentioned the same. Mr. Bruce, on August 7, wrote Mr. Bagnall that Mrs. Bagnall had taken exception to the following rules: (1) The use of the dumbwaiter; (2) the playing of music after 10 p. m.; if such playing disturbs neighboring family groups; (3) tradesmen canvassing the family groups; (4) the tipping of jantors. In the same communication Mr. Bruce declared he was not at liberty to reveal the names of the persons who had informed him of Mrs. Bagnall's conduct regarding the rules, adding that such persons had informed him that Mrs. Bagnall had deliberately sought to foment dissatisfaction where none existed. "If was, and is, my understanding and belief," wrote Mr. Bruce, "that the enforcement of some of our essential rules is obnoxious, if not to you, then to Mrs. Bagnall." Mr. Bruce gave this as his reason for suggesting the sale of the apartment. How It All Started Mr. Bagnall's reply, under the date of August 13, together with an interview of Mrs. Bagnall by a reporter of The Amsterdam News recently, revealed the history of Mr. Bruce s quarrel with the Bagnalls. Mr. Bagnall had arranged, it is said, for the janitor to call for garbage at $ 0 o'clock instead of $ 0 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Bruce complained, but 'after much ado and reluctance' consented to have the call made at $ 0 o'clock, to the utmost satisfaction and convenience of Mrs. Bagnall and other housewives in her section. On two occasions when Mrs. Bagnall was entertaining guests and was playing music after 10 o'clock she was annoyed, she said, by the guards, who answered, she said, by the guards, who guarded the music stop. The guards admitted each time, she reported, that no other tenant had complained. On one of these occasions the guard was so persistent that Mrs. Bagnall was obliged to entertain her guests elsewhere at an additional expense of $20, she said. The third alleged violation concerned a well-known private merchant—not a canvasser—D. L. Lasher, 70, white, 485 Pelhamdale avenue, Pelham, N. Y., who called to see Mrs. Bagnall as one of his regular customers. Mrs. Bagnall stated that, when Mr. Lasher called at the resident office, Mrs. Bruce told him very arrogantly that he would not be permitted to make any sales to anyone on the entire premises, but subsequently by made purchases from him herself, Mrs. Bagnall asserts. Mr. Lasher sells dine draperies and curtains. "The Bruces were extremely rude to Mr. Lasher," Mrs. Bagnall said. "On one occasion when he came to see me a guard was stationed downstairs and when Mr. Lasher went on he was taken rudely by the shoulder and pushed off the premises." According to Mrs. Bagnall, the Bruces finally gave Mr. Lasher permission to see his customers in the apartments. When Mr. Bruce learned of the character of Mr. Lasher he apologized for having embarrassed him, it is said. Regarding the tipping of janitors, Mr. Bagnall admits in his letter to Mr. Bruce that "Mrs. Bagnall did this once, and told you of it, and, at your request, never did it again." Mrs. Bagnall had paid the janitor to carry down some boxes, but when she engaged him the second time he refused to serve her, she averred. When Mrs. Bagnall complained at the office she was told that it was against the rules, and that Mr. Bagnall would have to carry down his own trash. Referring to Mr. Bruce's informants against Mrs. Bagnall, her husband wrote, "Mrs. Bagnall would be glad to face these liars," whose names Mr. Bruce refused to disclose. "May I say here," Mr. Bagnall continued, "that there could be no more grave criticism against your management than that you entertain and listen to tales told about tenants behind their backs by those who dare not face them and that you resent and seek to retaliate when anyone criticises what they regard as your mistakes. Your last letter to me seems to invite just such criticism. . . ." "It seems that some evil genius is prompting you to try to gain hostility from many sources. This is a bad policy for a vulnerable person. However, if you think there is no general dissatisfaction, send out a circular letter asking tenants to write 26 Broadway (the office of the corporation) whatever complaints they have against the management and see what happens. "I want you to succeed and, there fore, I am writing you frankly as a man and as a friend, in spite of the rotten treatment you have accorded me. This, I hope, is my final word. And, this is what this suit is at least, for Mr. Mr. has not yet made any reply to this letter of August 13, 1923. Bruce Explains About Stock What is believed to be the first definite answer to the question of what becomes of the money tenant-subscribers pay on stock toward the purchase of a home in the Dunbar Apartments, in the event the tenant moves out some time within the first three years of occupancy, was given in a letter dated January 19 from Mr. Bruce to Mr. Bagnall. "To those who for any reason wish to give up their apartments before the initial three-year period is up," Mr. Bruce stated. "we must say that they are obligated to the corporation for three years and that if they want the corporation to favor them by releasing them from the obligation before that time we can only do so if they rolinquish all claims to accumulations on account of principal from monthly payments." Whereas the subscription agreement covers a period of three years, as Mr. Bruce points out, the terms upon which the purchase price is paid cover a period of thirty years or less, at the option of the tenant-subscriber. Nowhere in the lease can it be found that the tenant-subscriber loses the money he has paid on the purchase price in the event he terminates his lease before the expiration of three years. Yet, this is Mr. Bruce's contention. Proof of Mr. Bruce's interpretation finding no support in the subscription agreement is found in the case of the late Namia B. Richardson, former tenant-subscriber living in apartment F-2816 Eightth avenue, who was obliged by Mr. Bruce, it is said, to sign a waiver relinquishing whatever claim she had in any show, that is, the amount she had on the purchase price from November 1, 1923. The sum of $98.74 was paid the administrator of Mrs. Richardson's estate, Henry S. Coshburn, 335 Edgemobe avenue, as the balance from Mrs. Richardson's down payment of $250, minus $55.99 for 24 days' rent before the apartment was sold, and $98.74 for redecoration charges. There would have been no necessity for Mrs. Richardson signing a waiver if a three-year clause regarding the stock had been contained in the subscription agreement. Some time ago Mrs. Bruce told a reporter that forty tenant-subscribers had given up their apartments during the past year, and if, as seems evident, money paid on account of stock was not returned to them, a neat sum of the tenant-subscribers' money has been confiscated. A test case in the courts to recover money thus paid on the principal would prove interesting and would definitely settle the question of whether or not the corporation may confiscate all monies paid them on the purchase price, excluding the down payments, in the event of any tenant subscriber moving out before the lapse of three years. Mr. Bruce's letter to Mr. Bagnall also revealed that January 31 of this year closes the corporation's fiscal year, at which time, according to Charles O. Heydt, white, president of the corporation, the tenant-subscribers are to be given an accounting upon demand. How It Operates Mr. Bagnall's case may be used as a typical example among the 512 How It Operates NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1929 Men...

A. A. C. P., a former tenant-subscriber living in Apartments 5-M and 5-N at 2816 Eighth avenue, was discussed in these columns last week, it was erroneously stated that the partition had not been restored. Mr. PICKENS' apartments were sold to Mrs. Helen Curtis, who subsequently decided to have the opening between the two apartments made in a different place. tenant-subscribers of how the subscription agreement operates, as explained by Mr. Bruce himself. The cost of Apartment 3-A, at 211 West 149th street, where the Bagnallis live, was $7,500 and $250 was paid down on January 31, 1928, leaving a balance of $7,250. The monthly rent and upkeep amounts to $35.91 and the monthly installment payment on principal and interest is $14.53. The monthly payments total $77.50. Mr. Bruce informed Mr. Bagnallis: "We are of the opinion that our arary 31) we estimate the amount credited upon the principal sum from your monthly payments will be $100.25. "The amount credited to the principal each year increases while the interest charge decreases. So that, at the end of your second year, we estimate the amount credited to principal for that year to be $105.76, and at the end of your third year, $111.58. This aggregates $317.59." If a new tenant-subscriber takes over the apartment at the end of three years, Mr. Bruce explained, he would be obliged to make a down payment of $250 plus $317.59, or total of $67.59. this amount, he paid over to the Bagnall minus the rent. In the event, the new tenant-subscriber only pays the initial $250 then that is all that the. Bagnall would get, minus the cost of redeections, until the new tenant-subscriber finally paid the balance of $317.59. Mr. Bruce said. Where the Rub Comes "While you do not raise the question," Mr. Bruce continues. "I may, perhaps, he permitted to add that it must be understood by parties who wish to give up their apartment that the corporation is not repurchasing the apartments for its own account nor will it undertake to reimburse the tenant-owners for the down payments, but these moneys come from the new tenant-owners to whom apartments are sold." Mr. Bruce then concluded by saying that if, for any reason, an apartment is given up before three years have elapsed, the tenant-subscriber loses the money he has paid on the principle that he must grant all that the tenant-subscriber gets back is his original down payment of $250—paid to the corporation by the new tenant-subscriber—minus the cost of redecorations. The costs of redecorations, it would seem, may be anything the Bruces feel like charging, as in no instance of which we know has an itemized list of redecorating costs been submitted to a tenant-subscriber who has given up his apartment. 367th INF.

Bruseaux Completes Tenth Year as Head of National Agency; Lifts Lid Off Crime Sources in Chicago Political Scandal Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, solver of mysteries extraordinary and proverbial model for all fiction sleuths, has something of a rival in Sheridan A. Bruseaux, detective agency chief of Chicago, who has been ripping the lid from crime and criminals and exposing the alliance of the underworld and politics in the "Windy City." Mr. Bruseaux was in the East last week, possibly paving the way for another expose. Unlike Sir Arthur's hero, who could tell the difference between gravy spilled on the tablecloth and a grease print left by the hand of the arch criminal by a mere sniff. Bruseaux makes use of as many as eighty-five operatives in his major investigations. When Octavius Granady, former New York lawyer, was pumped full of bullets by gangsters in the Chicago primary last April and numerous other acts of violence were committed on the South Side, authorities decided to make a thorough cleanup. Brusseaux, who was a member of the United States Secret Service during the late war, was engaged to investigate conditions for the special grand jury. While much of his work lay in the Twentieth Ward and in the Negro belt, he was given a free hand and plenty of assistance in learning the facts about criminals and crooked politicians of all races. Three policemen, Jesse B. Reese, William Houston and James G. Majors, were assigned as ales. Within a short time he had secured evidence necessary for the indictment of more than a score of gangsters, racketeers and politicians. Conspicuous among these were Granady's white opponent for committeeman, Morris Eller, and his son, Judge Emanuel Eller. Sixteen of their henchmen fell under the scrutiny of the law. As Brusenux and his men poked about the dives of the South Side they repeatedly unearned evidence against gangsters and politicians. At types of gambling from "policy" books were found running "wide open" with the protection of political bosses who controlled police. The Crowe-Thompson combine, controlled by the Mayor and his cohorts, was involved. Dan Jackson, member of the Illinois Civil Service Commission and South side boss, and Oscar DePriest, now a Congressman. Indicted on charges of abuses bribes for protection to criminal interests. Five wards were brought under the searchlight held by Brusseaux. As it became apparent that higher heads might be caught in the net, witnesses were intimidated and threatened by gangsters. Police protection was asked and many witnesses would not testify. When the city officials had received enough evidence to warrant forty-five indictments, Brusseaux was praised by Chief Justice William V. Brothers, Attorney-General Oscar E. Carlstrom and Frank L. Loesch, chief prosecutor. The detective and his aides secured 125 witnesses who testified before the grand jury. Following the organization of the Keystone National Detective Agency in 1919, the slush has been in the limelight as chief investigator for Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes, white, in her legal battles with her millionaire husband and in the survey of affairs at Wilberforce University. He also investigated the school discrimination fight in Gary, Ind., for Mayor Williams or that city. He acted as a graduate of Union High School and Arkansas Baptist College of Little Rock. He also holds an honorary LLD. degree from the University of Minnesota.

Passing of Charlie Thorpe Mourned by Admirers at Religious, Fraternal Rites Deceased Sponsored Distribution of Baskets to Poor Each Year at Christmas Time—Military Honor Guard Escorts Body to Final Resting Place (Continued from Page 1.) walked \*beneath a triangle formed by the crossing of two slender poles bearing Masonic symbols. The lower floor of the church was reserved for the family and friends of the deceased and traternal brethren, while halcony was completely filled with persons who came to pay their last respects to one who had gladdened the hearts of Harlem chaperon Christian time. The coffin was draped with the American flag and banked on either side by large floral pieces. "These flowers are saying to him for all of you. 'Oh, how we love you, oh, how we miss you.'" said the Rev. Mr. Cullen. When the casket was opened a few minutes later it revealed the departed dressed in his Knights Templar uniform, lying peacefully amid the crinkled gold cloth with which the coffin was lined. After the singing of a hymn the saying of a prayer and the reading of Psalm 90, the Fraternal Chanters sang "Dear Old Paul" and "The Vacant Chair" led by George E. Jackson and William Loguen, respectively. Then came the sermon by the Rev. Mr. Martin. "Lives are often crushed out by gratitude, injustice, selfishness and unkindness," said the Rev. Mr. Martin. During the sermon he revealed that, Mr. Thorpe had been almost brokenhearted over a supposed bosonfriend charging him $25 on a loan of $300, the loan having been made some time previous in what was believed to be a spirit of friendship and brotherhood. Later on the Rev. Mr. Bolden declared that whatever lodge brother had done this thing his act was criminal in the light of fraternal brotherhood. His remarks became so bitter that Mr. Thorpe's sister, Dolly Thorpe, arose and said that the unknown brother had been forgiven. The Rev. Mr. Bolden shouted: "Charlie's spirit says forgive: his spirit says forgive, but let that man go to Christ for forgiveness." The Rev. Mr. Martin suggested that the money he returned to Mr. Thorpe's family. Among the vivid impressions he had of Mr. Thorpe, the Rev. Mr. Martin said he remembered most clearly that of seeing Mr. Thorpe standing on a platform before an audience weeping because a man who had accused him wrongly would not come forward and face him. "Ours is to do our duty and render service to our fellow man and to be true to our friends regardless of what others may say about us," he said in effect. Before he died Mr. Thorpe worried over how the poor children of Harlem whose hearts he had gladdened at Christmas would make RELIABLE DENTAL WORK at Prices You Can Afford Dr. I. Schmidt Dr. H.

In making unspoken reference to the kind of "business" Mr. Thorpe conducted at the 135th street address, the minister said, "We must all go to God with our shortcomings. The ultimate condemnation or pardon comes from God, regardless of what others may say." He then reminded the fraternal men of their duty to uphold Brother Thorpe's good reputation and to fight all attacks upon it. Referring to the life beyond the grave, the Rev. Mr. Cullen said: "There is a continuity of life and intellect there 'on the other side, where our minds become clearer. "It has been said by men of science that we know nothing. This one thing we do know: that men are false, treacherous and liars; but there is one friend we can depend upon and He is Jesus. Whether you know the password or not He includes you as a member of one great universal lodge that embraces all humanity." Following this, Dr. Marshall read the obituary and the congregation sang "Abide With Me." Then the benediction, and the singing of a spiritual, "Now We Take This Feeble Body," by the Fraternal Chanters, which marked the beginning of fraternal rites over the deceased. Resolutions were read from the Flat Musical Club, the Clubman's Beneficial League—Mr. Thorpe was president of both—and the National Headwaiters' Association. Manhattan Lodge, 45, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, conducted rites, followed by those of Ascension Commandery No. 6, Knights Templars; Bluen Houses, and concluded by 32d degree rites by King David's Consistory.

THREE New York Urban League Marks Its Tenth Year With Praise to Hubert Welfare Workers Reveal Need for Playgrounds and Health Service; Nail Scores Tenants for Destructive Attitude Toward Property The New York Urban League marked its tenth anniversary at its headquarters, 202 West 136th street, Wednesday night at a meeting of directors, in which the social, health and industrial needs of Negroes were presented by leaders in the various fields. Four new directors were named to succeed retiring members. FOUR Contentions advanced by speakers in the symposium on "Unmet Welfare Needs of Harlem and Other Negro Districts" were these: That $6,000 is available for a hospital unit for convalescent babies if a like sum is raised by citizens. That the city's Real Estate Fund has $2,000,000 available for playgrounds and Harlem can get its share by pressing the politicians. That Negroes pay less for their apartments than former residents, and are known to be extremely destructive in their attitude toward property. C. Holden, white, chairman of the organization, presided at the meeting, in which the past year's work was reviewed and a larger program advocated for 1929. James H. Hubert, executive secretary, was commended for his direction during the past year, in which major achievements were the purchase of the adjoining building to care for expansion, the role of the organization in adding the Columbus HI Community Center and the Hopkinson neighborhood Children's House projects. The executive urged co-operation of promotion of a bigger program this year. He announced that over $5,000 has been collected from subscribers to the building expansion fund and that John D. Rockefeller Jr. has given his check for a similar amount. That out of 1,160 beds for convalecents in the city only eight are available for Negroes, was the decennial number of white secretary of the Convalescence Service Hospital Information Bureau. There are no such beds available for Negro babies, she said. The Speedwell Society, of which Miss Clarke is an official, makes no discrimination in its service, she sald. Sums of $5,000 and $1,250 can be paid to public units if citizens raise sums to match the gifts, the speaker stated. Playgrounds Closed Prof. LeRoy E. Bowman, white, secretary of the City Recreation Committee, told of the practice of closing public school playgrounds early in the afternoon at the close of school. He was also insistent in urging a committee to draw up plans for securing playground funds from the city. Something of a jolt was given the audience when John E. Nall, real estate operator, bared revolting practices of Harlem tenants in filling dumbwalter shafts with garbage. This careless attitude is taking its toll of health of tenants and of money from landlords, he said, and it hated that he was not contrasting the Negro with any other group, but he was definite in declaring that he is generally a destroyer of property and the cause of value depreciation. The Harlem burden of high rents is one raised because of the low wages paid, he said. Negroes are overcharged for the types of homes they occupy, he said. C. C. Allison, parole officer, revealed the plight of Negro youths in the city. Many of the homes will accept those delinquents they are dislabeled with warnings. hx A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY BEING OFFERED TO THE READERS OF THIS NEWSPAPER BY ONE OF THE FINEST EQUIPPED MEDICAL OFFICES IN THE CITY.

Official Is Speaker at Bethel Church Lyceum Development of a stronger intracultural faith and a new viewpoint and interest including the entire world will aid materially in elevating the Negro to the plane occupied by the white race, Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told an audience of 500 Sunday at the Young People's Lceum of Bethel A. M. E. Church, 52 West 132d street. The speaker reviewed the progress of the descendants of the people carried captive from Africa at the beginning of the American slave trade.

Mr. White also narrated some of his experiences in the South, where he narrowly escaped mobs while investigating the rule of terror and race hatred in Dixie. The speaker was introduced by Myles A. Palge, attorney. A silver loving cup, known as the Cahilly, was presented to Mrs. Frances E. Hobson and Joan L. Horton for the best program of the past year by Miss Muriel Stovell, chairman. The Rev. A. C. Sanders, pastor of Bethel, made a short address.

Dr. Butler Tells of Welfare Work Over Radio The achievements of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem were heard over Radio Station WABC Friday night during the Negro Achievement Hour, Dr. Charles A. Butler, president, delivering the principal speech. The council was organized in 1925 and represents the unification of twenty-two welfare and social workers' organizations. He was the president of the Negro from the South in 1925, caused, he said, by overproduction on the farms, created many acute social problems for the Negro in the North. The Citizens' Welfare Council then gave its attention to inadequate housing, city employment of farm labor, health education, social welfare, registration of new voters, civic improvement, and conducted for two years a forum of public education concerning these matters. His organization also encouraged the opening of community nurseries, child welfare houses, homes for the working girl and playgrounds, Dr. Butler said. No serious outbreaks of lawlessness have ever occurred in Harlem, said the speaker, mainly to the theologians and the W. C. A. and Harlem's seventh Negro churches. He concluded his speech with the remark: "May God give those who do not understand the Negro the vision to see the good in the world, we will willingness to stand by and help with a true Christian fellowship." Elected to Committee Dr. Louis T. Wright has been elected a member of the special committee on new members of the New York County Medical Society. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS.

C., Jan. 28. — Legal redress will be sought by Lorenzo Dow Turner, William Henry Jones and Moses Franklin Peters, three of four professors who were dismissed by the board of trustees of Howard University last June on charges of familiarity with girl students. The fourth dismissed professor, Albert Sydney Beckham, is employed in New York City, and it has not been learned whether he will join immediately in the court action that is to be brought against the university and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, its president. The decision to resort to the courts for satisfaction of their grievances was reached when President Johnson and the executive committee of the trustee board refused to re-open the case and give the dismlssled professors a hearing. Counsel for the professors had carried on negotiations in an effort to obtain a hearing for six weeks. Beverly, eight captains, and a working organization of sixty—all students. The campus has been placarded with attractive signs all having the campaign slogan—"Morehouse Knows No Defeat." A campus goal of $15,000 has been adopted, and advance subscriptions A petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the university to reinstate them will probably be filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia this week. Damage suits may also be filed. The university, the trustees and President Johnson will be named as defendants. This will be the second time within this scholastic year that the university, members of the trustee board and President Johnson have been sued. Clarence L. "Tick" Smith, former Howard University football star, sought a writ of mandamus to compel Dr. Johnson to permit him to attend the medical school. His petition was dismissed. Professors Turner, Jones, Peters and Beckham were dismissed as the result of President Johnson's probing of campus rumors. "The Hilltop," student publication, carried an article by Walker H. Jordan, a student in the college of liberal arts, in which he charged that certain professors, without naming anyone, were swapping high ratings with co-eds for kisses. President Johnson immediately established a censorship of "the Hilltop" and began an investigation of the statements made in the article, which had been published under the caption of "Just Rumors." When it became known among students that the president intended to recommend to the trustee board the dismissal of these professors, a committee of students called upon him and interceded in their behalf, asserting that they were not the guilty ones and declaring their high regard for them. The president remained adamant, derated some of the students for their activities, and carried out his senton. The student body was stirred and there was a talk of a strike but commencement and summer recess have time for the agitation for a student strike to die out. Dr. Turner is an alumnus of Howard University. He graduated in 1914 with the degree of bachelor of arts. He also has the degrees of master of arts from Howard and doctor of philosophy from Chicago University. He was professor of English. Mr. Jones, a master of arts from Chicago University and a bachelor of divinity from Chicago Theological Seminary, was professor of sociology. Mr. Peters, a master of arts from Michigan University and a bachelor of divinity from Virginia Theological Seminary, was an instructor in English. Mr. Beecham, a master of arts from Ohio State University, was assistant professor in psychology. Morehouse Begins $300,000 Campaign ATLANTA.

Chicago Real Estate "Inflammatory Chicago Real Estate Board Disclaims "Inflammatory" Segregation Talk Replying to a letter of inquiry sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and signed by Walter White, assistant secretary, the Chicago Real Estate Board has replied disclaiming responsibility for "inflammatory" utterances made at a real estate segregation meeting attended by an investigator for the N. A. A. C. P. The letter of the Chicago Real Estate Board is as follows: "Your inquiry of January 11 is at hand. We presume the meeting mentioned by you was some property owners' association meeting. What statements were made there or what action took place are not known to us, but if anything inflammatory, or seeming to justify or condone the use of bombs or any other form of violence, was said, please be assured Friends Declare Cou A Martyr to the Neg Friends Declare Councilman Fleming A Martyr to the Negro's Political Cause CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 28.—ANP —With the legal machinery being whipped into shape for an early trial, friends of Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, Indicted on charges of polluting and accepting a bribe, are rallying behind the well-known Alderman and Republican leader and declaring that he is a victim of a frame-up. Supporters of Fleming express the opinion that his indictment was simply an attempt to discredit Negro leadership in politics and to divest Fleming of his power in Republican circles. They further state that he will have no trouble proving that he is innocent of the charges, and this belief is also that of the Councilman himself. A Powerful Political Figure. Fleming is recognized as one of the most powerful and important coqs in the political organization headed by Maurice Maschke, boss of Cleveland and national commit- teeman for Ohio.

Protest on Sailor Attacks Brings New York Police Action Protest by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against police handling of riotous attacks by sailors on colored people travelling in the subways of this city has brought decisive action by the New York Police Department. On January 9, the N. A. A. C. P. received a letter from John D. Flynn, secretary to Grover Whalen, Police Commissioner, stating that the arrest of two colored people who had been attacked by fifteen sailors, none of the sailors having been taken into custody, the two colored people being at once released by the magistrate, would be 'thoroughly investigated." It is now learned that the Navy Department to which the N. A. A. C. P. had also complained, had asked the co-operation of the New York Police Department in ending these disorders, and the New York Age of this week, publishes a report that Chief Inspector John J. O'Trien has sent an order to commanding officers throughout the Police Department asking that full reports of attacks by sailors on colored people be sent to Headquarters not later than January 27. The Age also reports that this special order was read at three consecutive roll calls at the different police stations, with instructions to each police officer having knowledge of such attacks, to forward his report to Commissioner Whalen, who would make his report to the Secretary of the Navy.

Councilman Fleming Negro's Political Cause ties by the late Mark Hanna, whom he shaved during the twelve years he worked as barber. Fleming years ago stepped into the limetight politically and built for himself an enviable position and reputation. He was elected to the city council in 1909, and has been re-elected each time since. His position in the council is as influential as that which he holds in the Republican machine. For a number of terms he served as chairman of the police and fire committee and in other important capacities. During the national election he was active in the Hoover campaign and was one of the presidential electors from Ohio. The Indictment of Councillman Fleming, resulted from charges brought by Walter Coline, crippled policeman, who declared that Fleming had solicited a bribe for favorable action on legislation authorizing the city treasury to pay the doctor's bills and other expenses of the officer. on Sailor Attacks York Police Action tacks, whose cases have been reported by the N. A. A. C. P. to the navy officials, are the following: C. W. Alston, automobile repairer, of Jersey City, who reported that, while sitting quietly reading his newspaper in the Seventh avenue subway on January 3, he was attacked by sailors driving colored people before them through the train and struck a blow with a stick, which raised a welt on his arm. George W. Clark, of Brooklyn, who was told to leave a subway train on the West Side subway, the night of January 2, and kicked by a sailor as he was leaving the car. The N. A. A. C. P. also received a letter from Charles Payno telling of a brutal attack by sailors from the U. S. S. Richmond, on an innocent Negro going to work early on the morning of December 21. Another letter to the N. A. A. C. P. from Dr. G. Warren Hooper, of Jersey City, recounted similar incidents, which he had witnessed. On January 22, Patrolman McMann of the 16th Precinct, New York Police Department, telephoned to the N. A. A. C. P. to ask for any record of attacks by sailors or other persons upon colored people in that precinct, and was informed by Walter White, assistant secretary, that all the attacks reported to the association had taken place in the vicinity of Times square, or in Brooklyn where the Navy Yard is situated. The partlman stated that any future reports of such attacks would be promptly and efficiently handled. Red Cross Employs 45,000 Porto Ricans WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (By The Associated Negro Press)—In concluding rehabilitation of the coffee plantations in Porto Rico laid waste in the West indies hurricane last September, the American Red Cross is employing 45,000 natives and plans to wind up its relief activities in the island March 1, according to cablegrams received at national headquarters today from M. K. Reckord, director of disaster relief for the Red Cross. Ernest J. Swift, assistant director of insular and foreign operations, and Howard J. Simons, director of accounts from Red Cross headquarters here, after conferring in Porto Rico with members of the Porto Rican Hurricane Relief Commission of the U. S. Government, set March 1 as the date for closing relief work. The Commission will administer the Congressional appropriation of $8,150,000. It is composed of three members, Major C. S. Ridley, representing the War Department; Dr. C. W. Warburton, the Agriculture, and A. G. Redpath, the Treasury Department.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION NOTES Questions concerning motor trips the motor will be cheerfully answer ed when accompanied by a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Friction and Lubrication. Whenever two bodies are in motion, one rubbing against the other, a certain degree of friction will result in the proper to the finish of the contact surfaces. If you were to notice the parts of your automobile you would at once observe that those parts that have contact with other parts have a very fine and smooth finish. This is done in order to minimize the resulting friction. The metals is not sufficient to decrease the friction so that the machine will give satisfactory and efficient work, because regardless of the surface of the metals the constant contact will cause them to heat up and be harmed. As a result of this factor the manufacturers, through their engineering design, suggest you use only the best grade of oil to lubricate, or lessen the friction. One might think that any oil is better than none at all. While this statement is perfectly true, any oil may not be the one that is suited to the metal of which your engine is constructed. That is the reason that the engineers and chemists who have made an exhaustive study of oil have suggested the use only of certain type of oil for a certain type of an automobile. Charts have been compiled so that the owner will have no trouble in selecting the grade of oil that will give the best results with the motor of his particular make of car. Burn-out bearings, scorched or scratched piston and cylinders are due to lack of oil, dirt in the oil, and buildup in the improper grade. These defective components make repair bills. Therefore, it is much cheaper to use the oil that the engineers advise, and use it according to their directions.

A Fine Habit READING advertisements is a fine habit. Cultivate it. You buy advertised goods and service, don't you? Of course you do; everybody does. Just run over in your mind the various articles you purchased last week, or, better still, last month. Take the food-stuffs, for instance — your breakfast fruits, cereals and bacon are all advertised. The shoes you are wearing or the dress or suit you have on are probably well-known advertised makes. The rugs and linoleum on the floor in your home, the kitchen aluminum ware, gas ranges, hot water heaters, dish and clothes washers, cooking utensils of all kinds — practically everything you use is advertised. A manufacturer cannot afford to advertise shoddy or unworthy merchandise. He is jealous of his good name. A good name is a big asset to him in his trade. Advertising, therefore, is a form of insurance. It gives you a feeling of perfect confidence and safety when you ask for an advertised brand, because you are assured that you will get the quality and service you expect. The manufacturer's name is usually a guarantee. Cultivate the habit of reading advertisements. The more you read advertising the better will you be able to judge values. Read the advertisements and buy the goods and services advertised in The Amsterdam News A Newspaper of Distinction They are the safest investment.

In fact, many of today's necessities were yearned for less. That man or maid rushed to get the roomy Coxwell chair after dinner had been served? It was just as easy for him or her to read the evening paper or the one magazine of the household or move while sitting on the living-room couch or in a hard straight chair. Today 'tis different! What is more inviting, though than the Coxwell chair pictured here? If you don't have one in your home, get one and notice how many waltings you can handle, son, daughter or sister—or even your bean—will spend at home—resting and reading and thinking in the big arm, soft-cushioned chair. By the way, if you are planning to have the chair as a "catch net," then you must place by it a suitable end table. (Note the one illustrated here.) On it will be placed an ash receiver and maybe a bud vase of some other small artistic ornament. By all means it is not worth the table! Your end table, of course must harmonize in color and quality with the other furniture in the particular room where it is to be used and, if convenient, place it at the ner of second prize; Harriett Lancaster. Guests for the afternoon: Mrs. F. Rourke and Mrs. Manley. The thirty-second anniversary of the White Rose Industrial Association, Inc., will be observed at Beulah Pelayen Methodist Church, 221 W.

Les Mysteriousues held its first meeting of the year at the residence of Mrs. Irene Allen, 51 West 139th street, on Thursday evening. Unique booklets containing the names and addresses of the members, with an unique title to the club, by the president, Mrs. Vashtil Flowers. Mrs. Glennie Rayford-Clarke was second hostess to the club at her new home, 154 West 144th street, on Saturday evening. Plans were made for an initial club party to be given on Thursday evening, January 31. In the public entertainments, this is in keeping with the element of mystery which has surrounded all of the activities of this club. The Arabesque Social Club gave its first of a series of teas scheduled on the club calendar for 1929 Sun afternoon, at the home of Miss Irene Lewis, 849 St. Nicholas avenue. The following guests were present: Dr. and Mrs. St. Clair Dawson, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lee, Mr. and Mrs. William Guest, Mr. and Mrs. William Merrweather, Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre, Mr. Ies Smith-Ward, Mr. Archer Smith, Mrs. Thomas Hinton, William Williams, Mrs. Ida Douglas, H. Robinson, William Bayne, Edwin Cole and Samuel Johnson.

Levmore, corresponding secretary; Miss L. Levmore, treasurer; Mrs. X. Jackson, chairman of executive committee. Utopia Notes The Children's Aid Society, the administering body of the Utopia Children's House, 170 West 130th street, operates a Boarding Home department for children along with its other numerous activities. Persons who would like to board babies under one year of age are asked to get in touch with the Utopia House. Four hundred and fifty-eight nutritional lunches were served at the Utopia Children's House during the week of January 21. Provistons are being made to increase the cause right arm of the Coxwell chair. Now that every member of the household reads at least one magazine, you may have a large monthly collection. And magazines are things that just don't arrange themselves! They always tend to give a room an untidy appearance. A magazine rack, possibly one similar to type shown here, will help you solve the magazine problem. At least you can keep the current issues handy. Incidentally, most of the modernistic designs in racks are rather attractive and unique. Before you purchase any rack, shop around and compare them in both prices and size. Select the one best suited to your home needs. Place the rack where it will best serve its purpose. By way of suggestion, this may be to the left of the Coxwell chair. Household Hints THE secret of making light, fine-grained, delicate hot breads lies chiefly in the mixing. You don't have to shed tears while peeling onions! Peeling them under water and you'll note the diffence. Bent broom and sweeping brush bristles will not do the sweeping job as it should be done. Solution: Whenever your brooms and brushes are not in use, on them, on a broom on brush on its bristles bends the bristles. If you have paint and varnish stains to remove, try both alcohol and water on it. The stains should be rubbed on and off quickly. Do not throw away the various small screen-top jars in which may amuse and other foods are packed. And these same jars may be used as convenient food containers for plentics.

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN Hold His Faith A MAN can overlook many things A MAN can overlook many things in the woman he loves. He can foster her for being vain and conceived. He can tolerate quick temper. He can paint life in her system of housekeeping. He can even put up with gold-digging in the woman he loves. He can overlook defects and failings in her physical appearance. I've known men to forgive their wives and sweethearts for stealing. I've seen them forgive a woman for whom they cared for many, many things. BUT there's one thing that no red-blooded he-man is going to put up with, and the sooner a woman restates that fact the better off she is. He must not be true to him. She must play the better fair. The minute she side-tracks, he is going to be trouble. Many a woman has found the old saying to be indeed true: "The sin ye do, two by two, you must pay for one by one." You can kiss hubby goodbye in the morning when he leaves for work, and kiss another man in your home in the afternoon, but you can't get away with it. One thing leads to another and every little thing that you do has a far greater ultimate and sometimes immediate effect on you than you think. If you feel as though your man isn't earning enough money for you, get out and earn some yourself. Not only IS IT UNFAIR TO CHEAT, BUT ITS ALSO UNSAFE CHEAT. BUT IT'S ALSO UNSAFE. The headlines of the newsman it seems that husbands feel perplexed in killing their wives when they cook." And how they kill them! Knives, morsels, clubs, axes, tomahawks, and about half a dozen bullets at a time. Play fair and square. Don't overestimate your charms and value. Stick to your man! Dear Mrs. L. W: I think that your husband is right in not wanting you to go on the stage. Even though your little girl is no longer a baby, she will need your personal care for a long time. You are very foolish to want to go into stage life now. You should have started a long time ago if you were going to at all.

Year after year educators have urged that children be kept in school until they are at least 14 years old, but year after year children in various states have been made to leave school and go to work. In most cases the labor of children is inefficient and underpaid. While children may for a time seem not to be affected by long hours and comparatively easy work, with them "time tells the tale." A sick growing child in a family is more of a burden to the family group than that same boy or girl in a healthy physical state would be by being permitted to go to school at least until he or she is 16 years old. Child labor campaigns and propaganda have certainly caused a reduction in the number of children engaged in the grosser forms of labor in mines and factories. And yet there still remains much to be done. In fact, we need an elimination of child labor and a compulsory school attendance throughout these United States. A definite step in this direction will be through the enforcement of existing state and local laws, and an increase in the legal age for school leaving. This will mean an increase in a "leisure class" of school children, but organized playground commissions throughout the country could train these young people physically and according to definite standards of group conduct that would tend to counteract criminal influences—T.E.B. Looking Your Best ONE of the most noticeable parts of the eye is the eyebrow. And too many of us neglect our eyebrows: Considering the really prominent port they-play on our face, it’s worth while the expenditure of a little money and money to make them look their best. The other day I was introduced to an unusually attractive woman. She was well-dressed from her hat to her shoes. Her face was charming in its simplicity. I wondered if she knew how beautiful she really was. She removed her hat and then “came the dawn.” When her eyebrows showed her whole appearance was altered. She no longer had that refined and cultured look. In fact, she looked rather wild. Her eyebrows were straggly and wide. They plainly showed neglect. The woman only realized the harm she was doing to her appearance! Evidently, she was quite unaware of it. The worst pair of eyebrows can be improved. Go to a beauty cultist and have them tweezed. Yes, it's a little painful—that is, to some, Many mind it so little that they may be too much of a process. Personally, I'm not fond of tweezing when I think of the vast improvement it makes I become reconciled to it. The very thin line is not as becoming as the medium arch. When an eyebrow is very fine, it not only looks noticeably artificial, but it is also more exacting to keep shipped. You need an longer eyebrow or cut down in the period between our visits to the beauty parlor. Where the hair is scarce on the eyebrow, it can be easily traced with an eyebrow pencil. Trace the whole brow, lightly and carefully. Brush your eyebrows nightly with an eyebrow brush, about ten times each. Use a lighter eyebrow, if you will but spend a little time and money on yours.

NEW YORK BestAmusementPages in Greater New York EIGHT Midnight Show A Big Success Full House Again Greets Benefit for Sleeping Car Brotherhood Last Week Through the splendid spirit which again prompted him to give his theatre, to say nothing of the fact that the same spirit seemed to have imbued the employees of his theatre, Manager Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette, Assistant Manager Burt and Stage Manager Sam Craig contributed a big share in making the second big midnight benefit in behalf of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Maids another "howling success." Although down with an attack of the "du," Manager and Producer Lew Leslie kept in touch with the theatre and through his brother, Sol gave great evil to the pleasure he finds in doing something for this section of the city. Sol Leslie arrived at the Lafayette early and remained untill the last act, although he had to leave the city on business a few hours later. When that splendid aggregation of musicians which furnishes the littting tunes which have helped to make "Blackbirds of 1928" the success it is struck up the first bars of the overture a full house was was, the first entrance to see a bill which went over with clock-like precision, and in keeping with a policy which has done much to win many friends to the organization the Brotherhood had the pleasure of seeing the people leaving the theatre in a most reasonable manner, while which, long, thereby taking away the leastsemblance of boredom which has marked so many benefits of its kind. Following the overture, A. Philip Randolph took the stage to greet the people present and thank them for their whole-hearted support of the movement of which he is the efficient and most brilliant head. Mr. Randolph, at the conclusion of his greeting, introduced George Randol of the Alhambra Theatre as master of ceremonies and the ball started rolling from then until the end of the bill. Mr. Randol conducted his duties in a most able manner and still recitals grounded for the part he played on what many consider an unpleasant occasion. During the course of the evening he was supported by Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, who later appeared and did his stuff in the usual high class manner. Among the many acts on the big bill were Vioa McCoy, Alma Travis and that popular cut-up who is guaranteed to make any audience sit up and take notice. Amanda Rudolph. These ladies were supported by the Alhambra, which wont through their steps with the same vim and dash that mark their work at the Alhambra. Did the Alhambra contingent get a hand? We should say so. Then there were Ted Blackman, also of the Alhambra. From Blackbirds came Mama Hipa. Inside John, Johnny Hudgins. "Snake Hips" Tucker. Elizabeth Welsh Chester Jones and Bill Robinson. The Billy Pierce Studio sent Roland Holder and Callahan and Williams. The Three Midnight Stoppers, an act showing for the first time that night, was suggested by Manager Burt, who did the same thing at the first benefit, thereby giving another act a chance to show, Sol Pecora, Peruvian pianist, and Bob Tucker, closed a bill which is still the bill of fashion. The courtesy of Colored Motion Picture Operators three men were on hand to add their share to the night's entertainment and the boys van true to form by doing their best in the booth. Lacking but a little over a hundred dollars the receipts with the expenses included amounted to almost the same as at the last benefit, the amount after expenses were taken out being $1,452.50. Porters' Brotherhood Will Entertain at New Home Announcement has been made at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Malts of Sleeping Car Porters on foot to invite all the performers and staff part in the various benefits for the organization to a special "house warming" next week. Roy Lancaster, who is happiest when working hardest for the Brotherhood, is working after his labor in conjunction with the staging of the successful benefit at the Lafayette midnight of last Tuesday, is running around doing everything in his power to arrange this wonderful work of appreciation to the ever-skiing performers and their friends. Messrs. Randolph and Lancaster, after the first benefit, thought they would like to get the performers together, but it was upon the advice of those with whom they have been associated that they decided to walk until time as they could invite the artists to place which in itself will prove the something concrete is being done. The best guests will be thrown onto the performers to enjoy themselves to the fullest and with a light lunch, dancing, etc., it should be a big night for the entertainers.

At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER AT THE RENAISSANCE "Mother Machres," with Belle Bennett and Victor McLaglen, will be the attraction at the Renaissance Theatre Thursday, Jan. 31, and Friday, Feb. 1. At the glamour beauty, with Irish witch to ease the sympathetic tears, make this picture one of much appeal. Commending Saturday, for five days, this theatre presents an Oscar Micheaux production, "The Wages of Sin," with an all-star colored cast. The picture is taken from the story "Allas Jefferson Lee," and has to do with the life of two brothers, one of whom goes straight while the other goes wrong, led on by wild life. Thellis and heroilism make a movie written, produced, directed and entirely acted by colored people, "Wings," with Clara Bow, comes to the Renaissance Theatre beginning Saturday, Feb. 5. AT THE ALHAMBRA The inside of Police Headquarters is a daring place in which to stage a play. Yet that is exactly what the Alhambra Drama Players have done this week. "The Police Shake-Up" begins humorously and gets serious as it goes along. The play has the part of the most confessional drama in Barrington Carter is his right-hand man: Officer Hogan, a clumsy cop. There's a "line-up" of suspicious characters who have been captured in a "drama-set" raid. These assorted denizens of the underworld are played by Susie Sutton, Edna Harris, Artie Calm, Watts, Dick Campbell and Ted Blackman. The "third degree" is seen—an attempt at fall-breaking—and there's an unexpected climax to the search for "The Wolf," accused of murder, with plenty of exaltation. "Hop Off," the musical comedy, starts with an aviator's revel, including the "Lindy hop." There's fun on a train with an aviator's dog involving Bill Hughes, Johnny Hollow Vola McCoy, Alma Travers, Manda Randolph, Flemmet and others. A singing and dancing trio present a very pretty act and the sixteen Alhambra Girls have a free-for-all competition. Jacqueline Logan is the picture star in a feature called "For Ladies Only." The Alhambra Next Week "Sweethearts on Parade" will be the new release at the Alhambra next week, requiring an unusual richness of scenery and costumes and an extra large cast. The dramatic play will be "The Wayward Son," in which the Alhambra favorites have a real heart-throbbing story of a wundering boy who finds his way back home. The feature picture will be the much discussed photoplay "Dawn," which tells the story of the martyred nurse Edith Cavell. The distinguished actress Sybil Thorndike enacts the tragic role of Nurse Cavell. AT THE LINCOLN At Mrs. Downs' New Lincoln Theatre this week they are offering Barney Google's Original "Sparkplug" in Harry West's presentation of "Vanities," with Baby Banks and a host of other entertainers. Lincoln audiences are being treated with an unhappy little offering shot in much in keeping the house in fine warm all this week. In the meantime a dramatic playlet has won a host of prize awards. in the meantime the dramatic playlet has been the followers because of the unusual ability by Andrew Bishop and his assistants. By special request they are again presentning that gripping melodrama entitled "Retribution," one of the best in which young Bishop has been seen since the 1950s. The musical end of the entertainment underlined for next week will be "Nonsense of 1929," with another cast of popular artists. In keeping with the policy of the Lincoln, another splendid feature film is being offered at the popular little theater, the Starling Thursday, "The Shadow," a Columbia production with an unusual drama of the lives, loves and adventures of those in the small circus tent, will be the offering. Colorful backgrounds, the glamor of the circus, the scent of the sawdust, the excitement, the wilt of the passer, the lure of the canvass enfantile breast and the smoky emoons as the story unfurls. The hopeless love of a dwarf for the prettiest girl on the lot, the tragedy in the big tent, the burning of the paycare and a plot to kill a girl before the audience are a few of the tense and thrilling scenes of the New Lincoln. The elimax is one of the most awe-inspiring situations ever presented upon the screen. The Lafayette Next Week Another of the remarkable programs of talking pictures and musical comedy revues which have been delighting Harlem will be shown at the Lafayette Theatre next week. The location will be Butterbeans and Susie and their "Laughing Lightning Revue." The feature picture will be "State Street Sadie," said to be the third and greatest of the Vitaphone talking pictures. It is almost two years since Butterbeans and Susie have appeared in Harlem. Since then, many controlled by Jimmie Cooper they have organized their own revue and NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1929 M. & S. Douglas Theatre Collegians to Present Plays Morgan College Dramatic Club in Three One-Act Plays at Alhambra On Friday evening, February 15, the Morgan College Dramatic Club will present three one-act plays at the Alhambra Theatre, 126th street and Seventh avenue. The performance will be at midnight, and the proceeds will go to the erection of the Alhambra theatre, which is in great demand at present. The widespread interest in Negro art and literature as well as a rapid growth of the little theatre movement in colleges and amateur groups has caused the Negro to seek higher aims in the drainatic field. The presentation of Morgan Playing at the Alhambra will be the first time that Negro college has attempted such a program in New York. Careful consideration has been given to the selection of the plays so that they will give a well balanced evening of entertainment; not too heavy and tragic for the average reader, but not too heavy and without meaning and significance. By selecting such a program they feel that they have avoided the cause of the failure of many other amateur groups—that of overambitiousness. Many of these organizations attempt to do Shakespeare and many other heavy dramas that professionals cannot handle any too well. The players have been selected because of their dramatic ability and interest in this phase of work in college. In their courses they study dramatic art, aesthetics, and other related cultural subjects which give the necessary background for proper interpretation and expression. "The House of Sham" is a drama of the upper class Negroes. A wealthy real estate dealer surrounds his wife and daughter with every kind of luxury. The tragedy occurs when he is unable to pay his bills. This play was written by Willis Roark. "The Man Who Died at Twelve O'clock" has been for a long time one of the most popular plays in the repertoire of the Carolina Playmakers of the University of North Carolina. It was performed early last fall in Columbia University when they visited the city on their tour. "Sirlock Bones" is a farce corner. The hero is a black-faced detective who attempts to murder after the manner of Sherlock Holmes. His manner is very hilarious with many side splitting complications. Lottie Gee's Sister Sick Martion Gee, sister of Lottie Gee and wife of "Ouilong" Jeffrey all well-known stage folk, is ill at Los Angeles. Call, having suffered with appendicitis for the past three weeks. Miss Gee's home address in Los Angeles is at 866 East Forty-third street. have established records in scores of the largest theatres of the country. The song "Loving Reuse" is said to be the best in which this famous pair have ever appeared. The feature picture for next week, "State Street Sadie," is one of the mightiest underworld dramas ever filmed. Conrad Nagel, Myrna Loy and Russell are the featured players. Those who will find "State Street Sadie" even better than "The Terror." "Terror" at Lafayette Attracted by the combination of Vittone's weird thriller, "The Terror," and Billy Mitchell's hilariously funny revue, "Spilling the Beans," the Lafayette Theatre is attracting capacity crowds this week. "The Terror" is the second all-talking picture to be played at the Lafayette Theatre and it certainly found favor among the audiences. Of itself a most thrilling show, it is made doubly interesting by the talking characters. The audience sits spellbound as spooky sounds are heard in a spooky English cast, housing a weird assembly of guests. "The Terror" has started his deadly work and all are horror-streaked and walking breathlessly for the next incident. Suddenly pandemonium breaks loose. "The Terror" has carried off the lovely daughter of the house. Scotland Yard is ready a duel of wits and guns with the grief of a murderer. Shrieks—a mad man-hunt—doubling and ming tracks—descent in the lower regions of the haunted house—and the "Terror" is revealed.

BROWNING. U. S. Thompson is having fine success in Paris, where he is appearing nightly at three different cabarets. He left for New York recently. Miss Josephine Baker, after a brief stay in Paris, is making a short tour in Italy, and at present is appearing in Rome. Miss Catherine Parker of the London "Showboat" girls will soon be heading for home, sweet home. Charming Lois, as she is very often called nowadays, is of the brown-skin beauty type, and is most attractive as she strolls about there and there in and around the West End. She is having a most delightful time during her stay in London, but the thoughts of home simply will not let her remain on this side until the end of the run of "Showboat."

P.1-The Howard Theatre, Washington, a stand that has been one of the forsaken for colorful show and made notable for formal managers, as well as having been responsible for not a few nasty losses, seems its last to have come into existence. It is located in Chicago, perhaps no other theatre has exercised so great influence on colored show business. It has been an "Ace House" in every city, and has played road shows, vaudeville, been a trout "dog" house for big city attractions, featured pictures and has been given a burlesque show, with a few fittings, with any degree of permanence. Two years ago the Lichtman Brothers became owners of the property and since then they have been serving manager, Rufus Jays, have done a lot of experiential. Success seems to have at last crowned their efforts and the present policy is to have them experience in the Regal Theatre experiences in Chicago, seems to point to a means (or the salvation of show business insofar as providing adequate programs for our group) to bring the economy of the situation. Shoton Brooks is at the Howard conducting presentations that are now in their sixth week, with each week showing a better game. With an orchestra of eleven pieces conducted by Putney Dandridge as a background and a carefully selected group of a dozen choristers or genius the ability and varying degrees of skill in building up each week's bill. Gallie DeGaston comedy works through the show. So does Harry Day, a robust tenor, who does the show with equal facility. Each week sees the introduction of a new woman singer with two working through each bill, assuring two types of stanzas with a new face on each bill. The stanzas are one of them white, each week complies the personnel of the program. The stage settings, each of which have been of the most elaborate characters living in the audience, are built by the house staff. Scenary, silk and plush draps and the costumes for each show are rented in the house. The company is authority for the statement that weekly rental bills range from $750 and the efforts created by the figures quoted. Now standing the elimination of the stronger features of the city, the city is now intended to have no especial appeal in midnight audiences, there has been no decrease in this weekly gross proceeds. Matteo Piazza, the city's tallest shows are drawing women's best folk. A number of the city may not be visible or her personal friends are in the house manager, says the business has increased more in rent per cent since presentaion adopted as the pelley. A lot of rent and rentals absorb about more than a road show, leaving a handsome mark on profit and retaining a consistence like the handsome presentation produced in immersed with pictures so as to give an hour and a half of show and an hour of films lives each day. The presenter shows is a distinct lift in Washington. Additional Additional Sport News QUEENS FIVE LEADS LEAGUE Leadership in "Y" Court Loop Changes Hands for Third Time Non Test Dot.

Miss Mitchell's teacher was and sang for the Royal Opera at St. Peter addition to Miss Mitchell, a list of include Ricardo Martin of the Metropolitan Mlrr Hardy. One of the life, Miss Mitchell boasts, has been his work with the organ. SportNews HOW many readers of this newspaper remember Cole and Johnson's "Red Moon" and its passionate, though plaintive, apostrophe to the "Blooding Moon," marvelously sung by a bit of a girl? How many, one wonders, because that haunting appeal to a blood-red moon was first heard by a public many, many moons ago. In fact, it and the history surrounding it are a part of the record of another generation, an earlier period in the development of the Negro in the theatre. Attention is drawn to those bright and ancient endeavors for the sake of paying tribute to a remarkable woman who, as a girl, placed her hand in those of the early ploneers and helped them to achieve their successes, and who is still going — indeed, lives yet for her greatest glory and hopes to be one of the ploneers in a new advancement of her race. To few persons is the opportunity given to shed their lustre over succeeding generations—most of the bright stars fade, pass away, or go into eclipse. Thus Abbie Mitchell occupies an unique position. The white race kneels in adoration to a Schumann-Heink, a Sembrich, an Eleanor Duce, or a Bernhardt, and justly. In Abbie Mitchell one discovers a spirit more resilient and durable than was necessary to sustain those stars of the white world in the achievements of their later years because a Schumann-Heink, singing today, gives herself for hearts that are friendly, shows herself before eyes that have glistened with delight through the years that the great contralto has greeted them from the other side of the footlights, and acknowledges applauses from hands that have formed the habit. But in the big world where one pioneers to do big things there are few friendly hearts, or tear-rimmed eyes or eager hands to greet an Abbie Mitchell. She must still conquer. Therefore, she is due all the more credit. From now on the Abbie Mitchell of "Red Moon" of the Lafayette Players, of innumerable stage successes, on and off Broadway, of "Coquette," which played Broadway and is now holding forth in Chicago's loop, hopes to realize the ambition of a lifetime and to meet her public in a new role, that of a concert singer. Her life story, she avers, would be a history of her efforts to train herself to be a great singer. Every other thing that she has ever done has been tributary to that. "I have had so much to learn." Miss Mitchell acknowledges, "and so much to suffer, but since I was a child I have never swerved from my one desire. Of course, when but fourteen there were those who told me of my wonderful voice and had me believing that I could sing. But I learned better, that I know nothing, and that it would take years and years to make myself into the kind of singer that I wished to be. So, as the years have passed, I have submitted willingly to the deprivations necessary if I were to get the kind of training I needed. A missed mail, worn shoes, and out-of-style dresses have meant little to me if, by depriving myself of them, I could get the teaching that I wanted. My work as an actress has been done with my singing in mind. I learned that I must not stop for a long course; I had to work mine out. And thus I have learned." Miss Mitchell will appear in a concert at Kimball Hall, Chicago, Sunday, February 10. This recital will represent an auspicious occasion in her life, for at that time she will attempt to prove the virtue of her lifelong rule of hard work and concentration to attain one goal. After that concert she will concentrate on the major objective in her program—a role in grand opera. Miss Mitchell does not complain that Negro or colored roles in grand opera have been given to whites. She is not ignorant, naturally, of the prejudices that exist, but, as a musician, she knows that although there have been many Negroes with fine voices, they have not had the preparation for grand opera. She believes that she is and that she is competent to sing the title role in Alda. She is often said that will be opened and that when the opportunity comes she will be ready. As to her voice. It was George Garner, the international tenor, who a few nights ago informed this writer that Abbie Mitchell, in his opinion, had a voice superior to that of Mary Garden, the most popular member of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Musical America says of her: "In addition to a mastery of the mechanics of singing, Miss Mitchell has a voice of ample range and lovely pianissimo and a clear upper register, especially, and an impressive, yet unostentatious stage bearing. Miss Mitchell has that intangible yet immediately apparent quality, an electric, stimulating personality. She uses her excellent vocal equipment and interpretive abilities with particularly thrilling effect." And the Boston Globe: "To a voice of unusual beauty Miss Mitchell joins, as was amply demonstrated, an exceptionally secure and flexible technique and a delightful and instinctive artistry. It is a voice which combines a kind of silvery brilliance—though words ill convey so intangible a thing as the quality of a voice—with richness and expressive elasticity, phrasing warmly and musically, and remarkably achieving both sustained intensity and dramatic emphasis." Miss Mitchell's teacher was and is the celebrated Mme. Serrano, who saintly opera at St. Petersburg at the age of fourteen. In addition to Miss Mitchell's Mme. Serrano's illustrious pupils include Ricardo Martin of the Metropolitan Opera, Olive Frenstad and Caroline Mhr Hardy. One of the most constructive influences in her life, Miss Mitchell boasts, has been that of Kemper Harrod, famed for his work with the organ. beginning to the end.

The show came to town with the stamp of success achieved during its week's tour in New York and it would not be surprising to see it repeating to fine audiences in Baltimore and Washington. Cora Green, who has not been seen in a show of this kind since her 2001 tour with which she so capably held the spot occupied by Florence Mills in "Blackbirds," was given a warm reception which was almost an ovation at the conclusion of her part, and she was so well known, who for months did much to help make "Just a Minute" which appeared on Broadway a most entertaining vehicle, also got her share of praise on the opening night. The "Square Pointe" included in her element in the offering. The comedy, which is provided by Alex Lovejoy and Laura Smith, is well taken care of and just enough to add to the worth of what Dancer will be sensational return to the big time as indicated by those who would seek the favor of Broadway.

Hilldale and Baltimore In Trade for Four PHILADELPHIA.—The secretary's office of the American Negro League announces an important trade beacon for the league, including owner of the Hildale Club, George Rosier, owner of the Baltimore Black Sox. The Clan Darby chieftain has given the Rosier and Pitcher Morvin "Red" Ryan to the Sox for Second Baseman Jackson and Outfielder "Crush" Holloway. It is understood that Rosier plans to move to the Hildale club, which has been angling for the Hildale star for some months. That there will be many radical changes in the position of the payroll, shadowed by this shift, which brings one of the greatest outfielders in the game to Philly and sends one of the most coveted pitchers in the country Baltimore along with the efficient Warfield.

An Appreciation IN behalf of the Porters and Males and Officials of New York and the country, I wish to express our deep and sincere appreciation and thanks to the midnight benefit show in the LaFayette Theatre January, 2nd the overwhelming success it was. I wish especially to thank Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, dean of Negro theatre artillery terdam News, for the brilliant manner in which he put the benefit over. I wish here to observe also that it was due to his idealism and masterly handling of artists personnel that the first benefit last year for the Brotherhood was a success. We are also deeply grateful to Mr. Schiffman, owner of the LaFayette Theatre, for the donation of the theatre for the first benefit, and we are pleased to the Brotherhood's having the theatre without charge last year for the first benefit. Much of the success of the show was also due to the exceptional co-operation of the manager, who is ever ready to lend his assistance. None will soon forget the magnanimous attitude and liberal spirit of Mr. Lew Leslie, producer of "Blackbirds," who will be the benefactor of the Porters' Union. We wish to acknowledge our appreciation of the interest manifested by Mr. Bill (Bejangles) Robinson in using his influence in getting Mr. Lew Leslie to contribute to the production of Blackbirds for the benefit of January 22d. Probably never before in the history of the Negro race has there been shown a finer spirit of race pride, loyalty, and devotion to Blackbirds been shown by the theatrical artists in contributing of their skill, talent and ability for the aid of their brothers and sisters, the Pullman Porters and Mids, in getting a living wage and a decent life, and own. The Brotherhood will ever remember the signal, exquisite and brilliant performance of Bill (Bejangles) Robinson, Johnny Hudgins, Elizbeth Welch, Michael Welch, the Alhambra Girls, Rake Hips, Bert Tucker, Roland Holder of Billy Pierce Studio, the Midnight Steppers, Billy Callahan, Viola McCoy and others on the bill. We wish to thank the band of the Alhambra Theatre for his fine work as master of ceremonies. The Brotherhood wishes to assure the artists, the public and the Amsterdam News and all of those groups that have helped forward the movement that our work with the public has conducted upon a high plane of dignity, honor, honesty and scientific intelligence so as to merit, elicit and secure the esteem and co-operation of the public-spirited people of this community in particular in general.

Work, head of the school's music department. A change of date has been made, which brings the contest to the 30th. The 30, instead of a Sunday as has been the case in recent years. Dear Old Dixie IT is popularly assumed that the average colored person who follows his fortunes North is often seized with acute pains of nostalgia for Dixie. Also that the mere mention of his native heath is enough to bring tears to his eyes and start him crooning the blues about it. The colored ancestor of the Blackbirds at the Elfine Theatre can and do tell quite a different story. "The fact of the matter is," says Bill Robinson, the veteran stair-dancer, "that the North has been pretty good in the past, but now it's from the South, and that most of them have little or no reason to regret the move from the sleepy, sluggish continues of their birthplace to the more urban cities. This is particularly true of the colored entertainer, whose earning capacity increases the further he gets from Dixie. My idea of real loneliness is that my myself separated from New York City." Aida Ward, the sweetest singer of the "Blackbirds," stresses a similar note, "I am expected to start off in a book about Dixie," says Miss Ward, "explaining how my heart hangs there—while as a matter of fact its hope is here. I am not indifferent to the book, but I am not so much that it fits nicely into a song. But as a practical woman I know that there is a lot of hokum prevailing up here about the heritage of the South—as though it was a book. But as a practical idea for most people; and with many the sighing for Dixie is a mere gratuitous gesture. They never were there, never expect to be there, never be a part of it. But as a practical idea ever got there. Dixie breeds semenol identities, but what future is there in being that? They have to come away and get wise to themselves if they want to be interesting and successful as an adult. Adelaide Hall, the dancer, is even more outspoken to scout the hoary tradition of the homelessness of the northern colored foliom. "Every sensible person must have a coat and a Nuth because it gives him the breaks. The line of racial distinction is not so heavily drawn in the North; and whatever self-consciousness a colored person may have he or she is able to wear. The mass psychology of northern crowds, the colored entertainer does not want to be taken seriously. He wants to be taken for what he really is, a natural born funmaker. This contested New York audience is largely responsible for our success in "Blackbirds."" "There is a lot of joking about colored folks easily suffering from cold up North," adds Tim Moore, the acce- tory of the New York audience. "The interior of a furnace may not prove too hot for them. Believe me, there's another angle to that: Colored people buy fur coats, and they're comfortable enough, thank you. For fortunate people, the colored birds' winter Broadway, need I point out how well we feather our nests?" J.

Horman Harris, noted Solostel and Advisor. The beauty of the Lenox Manor was enhanced by the many floral tributes, among which was a magnificent horseshoe marked "Suc- cinate containing seventy-five roses, at least two of which resides which stood on the blind pavement by a tall urn, which stood on the floor with gay colored flowers. Among those sending flowers were: Miasea L. Harrington, Sinclaire R. Reild, N. Philip, A. Lindquist, M. Hilbert, Mrs. H. Jones, M. Smith, T. Griffin, E. Thomas, Lales Florist and Mr. H. Prudhomme. A very attractive program was presented with the able assistance of Mr. Roland E.

Bledsoe Applauded In Role From "Aida" Jules Bledsoe, baritone, in his first concert appearance of the season at the Gallo Theatre on Sunday evening, was enthusiastically greeted and applauded throughout by a large mixed audience. To have achieved success in an outstanding musical operetta, many an artist would have considered it sufficient to lapse into mutual indulgence and there let his laurels rest. Not so with Mr. Bledsoe, whose portrayal of "Ol Man River" of the internationally known "Show Boat" has caused this character to become a household word. Indeed, many who have witnessed this production the second, third or fourth time remark that their revisit to Flozegeld's playhouse was because of the unusual singing of "Ol Man River." Mr. Bledsoe gave musical New York an opportunity to hear him in a greater role than that which he gives nightly. In the Nile scene from "Aida," Mr. Bledsoe's role, Amonasso, the Ethiopian atmosphere would have been 100 per cent had he selected Abbie Mitchell or some high grade singer other than his Caucasian supporter, Lisa Roma, soprano. Just as in "Jonny Spielt Auf," "Aida," "Othello" and other famous operas in which Negro characters are created Negro, such eligible artists are never given a chance to star in these parts. The writer feels that the outstanding songs of the varied Ist were the group of Schubert lieders, including "Du Bist die Juh," "Wer Nie Sein Brat," "Nacht und Traume," and "Der Wanderer." Fine results were also obtained in the group of classic arts by Handel, Cacini and Mozart, especially "Amarilll Ma Bellu" by Gurcio Cacini. In listening to Mr. Eldeson's singing of spirituals, we wonder whether the philosophy of Negro life, absolutely essential to the proper stirring of the spiritual, is now missing as a result of ultra refinement. As encores he added "The Song of the Volga Boatman" and the now well-known "Water Boy." Mr. Eldeson's accompanist, the Russian pianist, Emanuel Bay, offered his bearers a modern Russian group including Rachmaninoff's "G Minor Prelude, Prokofieff's March, in which we missed certain minor essentials as we heard in Josef Hoffmann's interpretation some wocks ago. Seriabine was represented by his famous "D" Sharp Minor Etude and Prelude. Opus 27, No. 1. That Mr. Bledsoe's ministry is of a high order can be gleaned from the fact that such prominent artists who assisted him as Lisa Roma, Emanuel Bay and members of the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, under Hans Lange, assisted in the scene from "Alda." Louis Gruenberg, composer, was scheduled to conduct his score of James Weldon Johnson's "Creation," but this number was not given. Mr. Gruenberg was a passenger on the delayed America, which arrived Saturday with the crew of the Florida, entirely too late for adequate rehearsals. Robert Karr, under whose management the rectal was given, has promised to present at some early date a longer part of "Alda" and "Creation," using Mr. Bledsoe. New Tenor Makes Bow at Imperial Leon Johnson made his how in a song recital at the Imperial Auditorium Wednesday evening as the "new tenor," as stated in the December issue of the Musical Observer. We wondered at that time what new discovery or improvement had been unearthed over our renowned Roland Hayes. Mr. Johnson's program was one of length and variety, including such composers as Handel, Puccin, Drago, Seuderi, Massenet, Rogers, Tostl, Johnson and Burleigh, etc. Judging from his limited musical talents, the writer feels that this ambitious person is not in the least adequately prepared to undertake the task of surmounting the great demands of the present-day audience. At the piano was the accomplished pianist, Lydia Mason, whose graceful manner and musical taste served as some part of gratification for a poorly spent evening. Harry Delmore's Harry Delmore, a tenor from Boston, who is being presented by J. Mario Brown of "Show Boat" in a recital Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Grace Congregational Church, will give the following numbers: PART I. Adelalde, Beethoven. PART II.

CAREERS FOR WOMEN. Stenography. LAST week I spoke of the qualifies and work of a stenographer Let us now see how one prepares for this occupation. Training: Some girl like to take the shortest cut to a position. This is possible if you go to a bus- ness college immediately upon the finishing of the eighth grade in school. This course will take some time and cost quite a bit of money. It would be better to take a four- year academic course, with sten- graphy included, and top it off with a year of business college. You will then have the necessary foundation of culture and general knowledge. There is a half-way mark also. You can go to a high school and take a four-year commercial course. This is not as good as the general academic course, as it doesn't furnish the culture and general knowledge. Advantages: The advantages of the occupation depend to a large extent on the office and the employer. If the employer is educated and cultured, contacts with him are beneficial. Then again, in a small office the amount of responsibility resting on the stenographer adds to her development. She has to be wide awake and efficient in order to hold position. With added skill, she gives her opportunities. Then, of course, there are the advantages of short hours and pleasant surroundings. Disadvantages: The disadvantages lie in the fact that the field is overcrowded. Uneducated and inefficient girls are competing with well-trained stenographers. They are willing to work for very little money, which, of course, forces down the wages of stenographers. It is the old question of the excess supply forcing down the salary. Of course, when an employer realizes the costs of his stenographer, he is willing to may move the average in order to hold her. The salary of a stenographer is from $18 per week up. The "up" depends upon the employer, the business and the efficiency of the stenographer. Crabby employers and unpleasant surroundings are problems some girls have to cope with. Y. W. C. A. Notes The annual meeting of the West 127th street "Y" was held Thursday night at the branch. Seventy-five members, ranging from 16 to 60 years of age, sat down to dinner at 8 o'clock in the auditorium, where the orange color scheme was further carried out with flowers, candles and programs. The dinner was served by the cafeteria, of which Mrs. Susan Alams Lighston is director. During dinner delightful music was rendered by Miss Flosse Carter, pianist, and Miss Ruth Caver, violinist, both W. C. A. club girls. Between the dinner and the serving of dessert Miss Ophelia Shields of the branch staff led the group in singing. Mrs. Elizabeth S. Michael, branch chairman, opened the annual meeting with a belief devotional service, after which Mrs. Eva T. Parks read the minutes of the last annual meeting. Mrs. Michael, who has served on the committee for many years, then gave her report for 1928. Then Mrs. Virginia E. Scott, treasurer of the branch for twenty-three years, read her report for 1928. The report of the general secretary, Mrs. Cecelia Cabpiss Saunders, called attention to the fact that more than a quarter of million people had used the building in 1928 and that there were many more of whom no record could be kept. Mrs. Vernon Johns delighted the audience with three piano numbers. She is to play hereafter for the Sunday afternoon services of the branch. The address of the evening was given by Mrs. George E. Haynes, who took as her subject "The Occupation of the Field." This is, perhaps, the most talked-of question nationally in the Y. W. C. A. today. Mrs. Haynes is a member of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A., with headquarters at 600 Lexington avenue. At her suggestion a telegram of greeting was sent to the Y. W. C. A. at Indianapolis, which was holding its annual meeting at the same time. Brief remarks were made by Alderman Fred R. Moore, who held up to the membership a new ideal of service for the coming year; by Watt Terry and W. H. Willis, who were guests of the evening and who are friends of the branch, serving as an advisory campaign committee. Preceding the meeting and throughout the evening an exhibit of work done in classes of the Education Department was shown in the lobby. Miss Jennie Jackson directs the School of Dressmaking. Library Notes Mrs. Nella Larsen Imes, author of "Quicksand," will speak on "Recent Books by Negro Authors" at the West 135th street public library at 8:30 tomorrow evening.

The Rover Cubs, a group of little fellows, are becoming Leaping Lemons You always want to be through the efforts of Paul Bolin of St. Philip's Church, a joint glee club has been organized among the troops and the Rover Cubs. Mr. Bolin, who is vocal supervisor of the St. Philip's choir, has taught the boys some snappy songs that would club will make its first appearance at the troops annual recital to be held in April. The Rover Cubs also have a roller skating club which meets at the Rockland Palace, 155th street and Eighth avenue. This week the club will dress in skating uniforms for the black skull caps with tights and red skull caps with black tops. Some combination of colors, eh? The troop is now the guest of Burt Powers, former war ace and owner of Rockland Palace. Mr. Powers presented eighteen hockey clubs and putts to the troops of Tom to be used by all the Scouts. Winner. Scout Fred Williams of the Silver Fox Patrol of Troop 773 won the 220 yard dash in the roller skating contest of the Rover Cubs at Rockland Palace Saturday. The Rover Cubs turned out in full force last week and started a deadly war with the seniors of Troops 753-773. As the Rovers are small fellows and the seniors large ones, the results were surprising when the whole bunch of cubs piled on one another. The results are not to be published. Too bad! Worker. Scout Fred Williams of Troop 773 has been promoted to junior assistant scoutmaster in charge of the advancement department of the troop and made a member of the Pine Tree Patrol, the honor patrol of the troop.

Some of his old ones are obsolete and that new ones are being used in their place. In substituting a 301A, also known as 301A, valve for a 300 soft detector valve, in addition to changing the value of the filament resistor, the grid return should be connected to the positive filament lead instead of to the negative filament lead required for use with the 300, or 300A. In substituting a 112A or 371A tube for a 301 or 301A tube in the last audio stage of a receiver, the plate and grid bliss voltages should be changed to the recommended values for maximum results. In substituting a 112A for a 112, only the value of the filament resistor need be changed. The 112 draws 5 amperes at five volts and requires the filament resistor to have 6 ohms, while the 112 draws 25 amperes and therefore requires a fixed resistor of 4 ohms or a rheostat of 20 ohms. The grid bias and plate voltage characteristics are the same and the tubes can be used interchangeably in that respect. When 112A or 371A valves are substituted for 112 and 371 tubes, respectively, in A. C. receivers in which the filaments of the tubes are heated from the filament windings of a power transformer, no changes are necessary since the tubes and the amount of current from the windings. When 340 mu valves are used in place of 301A tubes in resistance-coupled amplifiers, best results can only be obtained if the values of plate and grid resistors are changed to 2.65 megmh for the plate resistors and 2 megmh for the grid resistors with coupling capacities of .006 mfd. The plate voltages applied to the plate should be at least 135 volts and preferably 150 volts and the grid blas should be reduced to not more than 1.5 for 135 volts on the plate or 3 volts for 180 volts on the plate. The 380 full wave rectifier valve superseded the old 313 full wave rectifier tube and may be substituted in place of the CX-313 without any changes of circuit or wiring. The 381 half-wave rectifier valve superseded the old CX-316B half-wave rectifier and may be substituted without any changes in wiring.

Today Harlem is three times greater in population than the entire State of New York. Harlem, the only Negro Settlement of its kind in the world, is growing larger in size and population every day. The Amsterdam News is a real Harlem Institution. It was established to serve this fast growing part of New York, the greatest city in the world today. It covers New York from 18th street to 165th street, East River to Hudson River, and nearby suburbs in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Today it is carrying local neighborhood news to 25,000 families and, in addition, gives these homes all the important news of the day, plus an incomparable array of informative, educational and entertaining features. Harlem is a fertile sales territory, but Harlem merchants must go after sales unless they keep patrons in the growth of Harlem. The Amsterdam News is 25,000 families, one of the greatest single sales, producing factors in this territory.

Hyatt who was present and who delivered a strong address, was boomed at the next mayor by the vast throng of the Former president of the Empire State University Women's Clubs and vice-chairman of the Kings County Colonel Republican Organization, preside the meeting was held under the protective League, of which Dr. Harton is the president. Dr. Harton was proclaimed as the national leader through the unanimous adoption of a resolution that was presented. Dr. Harton delivered the proclaimed address. He stated in his talk that the meeting was called because of the lynching of two Negroes and the burning alive of one Negro in the Governor of that state to take action against those responsible. Dr. Harten also said that "Whatever people brought about emancipation now. We want as many colored pleas as possible to exercise the citizens' rights without being slave to my own civil rights to accolade our purposes, our well-being, Washington and will attempt to influence local officials. We don't ask for anything beyond our constitution, we teach our privileges and we will not be satisfied with anything less than that." Mrs. Lawton also vigorously told me to teach and stated the Negroes should do everything possible to hinder it. When former Mayor Hylan was introduced he was greeted with pride and was asked for reference to himself, but urged greater unity among Negroes in combating the lynching evil. The United States could provide an end once for all to lynching of colored people, if only they would organ themselves formidably and ask for respect to Congress," said Hylan. Dr. George Frazier Miller, rector of St. Augustine's P. E. Church, tacked the Mississippiians who took up in the recent lynchings. said: "If the people of Mississippi can be gloeful and rejoice at the sight of barbarous lynchings, missionaries ought to be sent there." Dr. Miller united in stating that Mr. Hyla will be the next mayor of New York City. Dr. Harten urged that the Republican party make the ex-mayor the usurper candidate. He also took office as Walker and his Police Commissioner for what he described as the negligent treatment of attacks on colored men in the ways of New York City by said on U. S. A. warships.

Pine Brook Among those present at a surprise birthday anniversary party given "Getting Right “Getting Right With God” By WILLIAM PICKENS SOME people spend all their in the abstract, without get really "right" with the will be right with the universe, other existence. SOME people spend all their days "getting right with God" in the abstract, without ever realizing that if they ever get really "right" with the world in which they live they will be right with the universe, and with God, and with every other existence. A professor of Smith College recently told me of a "religious house party," attended by quite a number of persons who are suffering from one or another psychological aberration. Their faces were long, their voices sepulchral, and their enthusiasm fanatical, they conferred and discussed and prayed and sang and "praised the Lord" for all his goodness to themselves in particular. Their behavior was somewhat like this: "The Lord has given everything to the elect—and we are the elect." But while all this was going on, one young fellow, who had not yet lived long enough to arrive at the point of absolute separation between religion and life, thought he would bring in a practical everyday matter, and he nearly broke up that meeting. Porters' Union to Reorganize Itself Brotherhood Holds Policy Parley February 10-13 Seeking to reorganize the union and take stock of the organization, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters will hold a Policy Committee Conference in St. Louis from February 10-13. It was like this: he was a student at Williams College. He noticed that quite a number of his fellow students were "shouting members" of this same "house party." He had also noticed that there were some Negro students in Williams and that they were finding it difficult to get into the restaurant, but the better restaurants said to them: "We cannot serve you, for if we do then the other Williams students will not eat here, and we'll be ruined. We would just as soon serve you as to serve anybody else, but you cannot expect us to lose all our other customers on account of you." Therefore these colored boys had mostly to go and eat in the cheaper places, where they must vie with very soiled working people in the city. These were good enough people, no doubt, but their dirt smelled just as bad as if they had been bad people. Well, while everybody was prasting the Lord and proclaiming "love for all mankind," this poor little practical-minded student happened to remember plight of these colored boys at Williams. He got right up and began to tell about it and to suggest that something should be done to help them, wary there present from Williams, to make it possible for clean and decent restaurants to accommodate these black boys when they wanted to eat. But this cold-blooded suggestion seemed to be doing to the religious inflation of that meeting, what a hand grenade would do to a blimp balloon. The leader of the meeting became afraid lest they should all forget that they were of age for as this heater of ill tidings took his seat the leader sprang up and said with a religious fervor which tended to bring them all back from the earth to the clouds: "Praise the Lord—that's a social question—praise the Lord! We are not here to take up social questions, we want to light with God!" And that settled it. Love Letters Caused "Sunshine's" Parent Rift LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21 (ANP).—A sensational feature of the recent divorce action which led to the legal separation of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Morrison, parents of "Sunshine Sammy," the former popular motion picture juvenile, was the introduction of a package or love letters to Mr Morrison that were mailed to his local address by girls in all parts of the country who had either met or wanted to meet "Sunshine Sammy"s girl. Those letters apparently convinced the court that Mrs. Morrison had been under sufficient pressure to warrant a decree or divorce, the custody of her four little daughters and allmany.

Philip Randolph, president and general organizer. The conference will comprise the brotherhood chiefs in different sections of the country, including field organizers, zone supervisors and general staff members. A complete reorganization plan, according to President Randolph, has been mapped out for the brotherhood, which will be the Policy Committee Conference and the national executive committee. The purpose of this conference is to appraise and evaluate the experience, program tactics, strategy and policies that the Brotherhood has executed since its inception in 1925. It shall also devise, formulate and work out new plans and policies for more intensive educational, organizational and agitational work, with a view to advancing the cause of the porters and malals. A plan for the raising of a huge fund to finance the comprehensive, intensive and extensive program is contemplated. Plans will be organized to enroll over ninety per cent of the porters and malals in the union in 1929. A program is to be mapped for securing an amendment to the Railway Labor Act in order that the Pulman porters and malals may meet with his difficulty in securing a redress of their wrongs and adjustment of their grievances under the provisions of the act through an organization of their own and representatives of their own choosing. Cleanliness Stepped Down From the Throne By Algernon B. Jackson, M. D. When the news leaked out that the Empress Josephine took a bath every day there was almost as much excitement among the French as when "Lindy" suddenly descended from the clouds. Ladies of the two-chamber spoke to whispers of lustful three times a day, to say nothing of frequent ablutions with soap and water in between baths. Josephine may have been somewhat of a fanatic on the subject of bathing, but it must be remembered that Napoleon refused to tolerate perfumes and something had to be done to offset so great a disadvantage in those prehenthroom days. She should have three hours a day to her toilet, washing in silver tubs and basins. Before Napoleon's attractive wife became addicted to bathing in a serious way baths were indulked in only by cranks or on the advice of physicians. But after the Empress stepped down from her royal throne to patronize soap and water, people began to suspect that; after all, might be something in the notion. Although many years passed before bathing became an established institution in civilized countries there is no doubting the fact that the movement was helped along by the example of the little West Indian Creole girl who became an empress. Nowadays you don't have to be an empress to take a bath. With soap and water accessible everywhere and woman can attain the dream that comes from cleanliness. A N.P.

Coming from Alexander City toward Clay County, in the hills of Tallapoosa, we crossed Hillabee. While talking to a friend of mine one day, Colonel Lackey by name, he saw a farmer from across Hillabee Creek driving by and waved to him. Turning to me he said: "Joe, there comes another Hill Billy from across Hillabee." A few years later I used to write articles in the North and Miss Mary White Ovington adopted it and gave it considerable currency in her talks and writings.

Giving fair warning to the wild and woolly West as to what might be expected of them when they invade that territory. Bob Douglas' world's colored champion Renaissance team swamped the Brooklyn Mets Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino by the score of 88 to 31. The Brooklyn players were no setup either, for in their lineup were such first class performers as Frankle Stuckbury, Toney Calland, Knudsen, Berger in Magner, and doubt that they were a classy outfit. The Renaissance Five, however, inspired no doubt by the advent of their first Western road trip against three of the leading teams of the country, played the kind of basketball that makes them feared whither, and makes it is played in these United States. Every man showed that he was in the pink of condition, their passing was fast and snappy, their floor work dazzling, their shooting accurate and deadly, and above all their mental alertness, worthy of the champions they are. Capt. Sloeum started Ricks and Salchin forward Sanders, center,ankle forward Mays, guard; this bunch soon ran into a lead of 9 to 3, but the Brooklynites kept on the job and crept up on the champions until the score was 13 to 10 against them. At this point the Rens evidently did not relish such a close score with two such sharp shooters as Stuckbury and Calland in the lineup against them, so they opened up the throttle wide, and a high powered Renalissance machine then got under way. Noticed from all over the court, with Sanders, Ricks and Mayers leading the way, closely followed by the other men and by the time the whistle blew, ending the first half, the champions were out in front by the score of 40 to 20. In the second half Ricks was replaced by Capt. Slocum and they again got to work. Sanders kept up his game to work, and Slocum taught what it was time or him to get some, so he very defyly tossed in five in addition to his first half effort of two. Capt. Slocum also secured a trio, one of which was a most beautiful hook shot under the basket coming out of a net. Slocum and Mayers got 4 and 3 respectively, but all from long heaves, as Jenkins and Mayers would not let them be near their own baskets. Saltch was top score man, with 15 points, but was pushed hard by Sanders and Mayers, each with 14 points. Immediately after the game the boys left for the West, where they will hook up with the Fort Wayne, Chicago and Cleveland teams, all leaders in the American League, who will be played in each city, in the order named, starting on Monday night. They will be back on Sunday to play the Hudson team of the New York State League at the Renaisance Casino in their usual Sunday night feature. In the preliminary game last Sunday night the Scholastic defeated the St. Ambrose team of 3 to 1 and put Sunday night the Metro Diamonds will play the Chicago Bison defender team. These games are regularly scheduled games of the Eastern Colored Basketball League for the Roy Randolph Memorial trophy, donated by Manager Bob Douglas of the Renaisance Five, and are ably referenced by Al (Chink) Lind.

But wait a mi this ancient stuff so save a little more for your patience. For colored baseball is made very good not well financially. baseball has been so propitious in today has a worm the ranks that can be brothers in the game compared to the other salaries in the big season down to $20,000 "Babe" Ruth hadache of ours, and the minute we asked opinion that there is drawing $2,500 for his reasonable figure white ballplayers at the whites. What's the answer up? To judge the significant than the rather, who is to baseball? No ballers should get to kn IN THE late '80s and early '90s the National League and the American Association placed a salary limit of $2,000 per season for an individual ballplayer, and there were not so many of them getting the "two grand." The Cuban Giants, the only legitimate professional colored team at that time, were stationed in Trenton, N. J., under the management of Cos Govern (colored) and the ownership of Walter Cook (white). The players were getting from $12 to $19 per week and all expenses. To give you facts, the Cuban fielders got $12; infielders, $15; pitchers and catchers, $18 per week. They usually carried two catchers and four pitchers, which would give them six men drawing topnotch salaries. We doubt that there were as many as six players on any one team in the big leagues drawing the salary limit of $2,000. As one would figure a season of six months at $18 per week, including an estimated amount as expenses, which the big league players did not get, you will find that the colored boys drew down about $575 for their season's work, which was a little over one-fourth of the $2,000 salary limit of the big leagues. If you would include colored ballplayers who were playing on white teams of the International League at that time, drawing salaries commensurate to white players, the disparity in pay of white and colored stars of old times would not have been much over two to one in favor of the whites. That was over forty years ago. But wait a minute. Don't get facetious and rail about this ancient stuff somebody's pulling off. We are going to figure a little more for you during the minute. I have asked for your patience. Every season for forty years there have been colored baseball teams. There were years when the players made very good money and other years when they did not do so well financially. But at no time in the history of colored baseball has the opportunity for the advancement of the game been so propitious as it has since 1919. The colored profession today has a wonderful array of talent. There are players in the ranks that can do as much on the diamond as their white brothers in the game. Let's be brief. What are they getting compared to the other fellows? With no limit to salaries in the big leagues they are paying from $40,000 per season down to $20,000 to their star players. We might mention "Babe" Ruth with his $70,000 salary were it not for this headache of ours, and we don't want to aggravate it. Closing the minute we asked for your indulgence we will venture the opinion that there is not a colored ballplayer today who is drawing $2,500 for his season's play. Giving them the highest reasonable figure you can place the salaries of brown and white ballplayers at the ratio of twelve to one in favor of the whites. What's the answer? Is our game as a business, backing up? To judge the prosperity of any business what is more significant than the high scale of wages? Who is responsible, or rather, who is to blame for the present condition of colored baseball? No ballplayers, no baseball owners and ballplayers should get to know each other better. The Saint Christopher Arrows' basketball team has made a very creditable showing this season. The team is comprised of some of the best high school athletes of the city and not an important school is omitted. The captain is "Slimny" Armstrong, lanky center of Haaren High School. Percy Buckley, versatile track star of Commerce High School, manager, ably assisted by Elmer Whittington. Charles Bradford, old St. Christopher coach, has done wonders with the outfit and put it up among the leading Harlem teams. The other official of the team is Carl Mayhew, who acts in the capacity of timekeeper and so far has justified the trust that the rest of the team has bestowed on him. The captain has grown the far, have played thirteen games in all and have lost but four, a creditable showing for any team. Saturday, Jan. 26, the team journeyed to the home court of the Columbus Hill Council, located at 636 street and Tenth avenue. Though outweighed by twenty pounds and outaged by about twelve years, they proved the old adage that when brain meets brawn it is brain that wins. In the first half they outplayed the Columbians and the score ended the first half by Arrows. The second half however, the home team staged a desperate rally, but the superior playing of the Arrows offset the heavier weight of the Columbians and the final score ended 34 to 33 in favor of the Arrows. The basket that clinched the game for the visitors was made by Van Romondt, flushy forward of the Arrows. Police of the Columbians was high scorer of the evening, caging five old goals and two fouls. Van Romondt and Nesbitt of the Arrows led their team with nine points apiece. ST. CHRISTOPHER ARROWS.

The score of 92-40, Harmon apparently had the game sewed up, and not one of the 500 who witnessed the contest had the slightest idea that Holland could overcome such an advantage as his opponent held. First a run of 20, then small runs of 9, 10 and 15 put him on even terms with Harmon. Roy missed and Harmon had an easy opportunity to run out but missed after making the balls, and missed of his opponent seeming to dazzle him. Holland finished with a run of 64, while his opponent rested on 97 points. Eric Hagenhacher of Germany, former world's champion, will appear in an 18.2 balkline exhibition at Hutchinson's 144th street academy, Friday night. Feb. 1.

Jan. 26.—An exciting game of basketball from the first whistle to the final gun was witnessed in the Hampton Institute gymnasium when Hampton's Blue and White basketeers crashed through a nip and tuck affair to whip the Howard University five 23-21. It was a thrilling fray which pitched an atmosphere of tenseness which only lifted when the 'tuners' gun fired and allowed the surplus energy of the spectators to go up in the form of yells, screaming and shouts.

He led the Howard team throughout, up until the last fifteen minutes, holding a 20-15 lead at half time. The fine playing of Lols Williams kept the Howard team in the winning. Williams accounted for nineteen points towards the Howard score. The second game Howard has won from Clark in the last two seconds of play.

His right name is Robert Iescream. Ice Cream, although a product of the South, has done most of his fighting around Philadelphia. That he is quite a batter is evidenced by the two decisions the dusky lad holds over Harry Wallace. He has also beaten Jack Zivic and Ray Mitchell, and boxed draws with Harry Ferry, Edie Shapiro and Willie Hair. Muranucci, Troy, N. Y., welterweight, is said to be a slugger. As Ice Cream also loves to exchange wallops, these two lads should produce ten rounds of loaded action. Joe Curry, Fort Jay featherweight, is in for a lacing if Low Massey, of Philadelphia, lives up to his press notices. Massey and Curry are billed to travel ten rounds in the main ten-round in the second round in the past month, has beaten Joe Rocco, Johnny Huber, Vic Barrone and Johnny Sheppard of Boston.

Gans Expected to Show At Olympia in Near Future Now that Baby Joe Gans has completed the sad task that brought him to New York, the burying of his former business manager, Larney Litchenstein, he has again turned his mind to the vocation that has made him famous in these United States, namely boxing. Commencing with light training this week, Gans will be in condition in a few days to accept one of the several offers that have been tendered him. At the present moment he is thinking very seriously of giving Harriet Kinsley the first glimpse of him in action and the date most likely will be Saturday night, Feb. 9. From then on he expects to box every week or ten days with the idea of forcing Mandell or Musby Callahan into giving him a chance at their titles. McMAHONTOPUT ONHAVANABOUT Chocolate and Kid Suggs Battle for Mythical Championship Jess McMahon, matchmaker of the New York Coliseum, announced last week that he will stage a ten-round bout between Kid Chocolates of Cuba and Chick Suggs of New Bedford, Mass., for the Negro featherweight championship of the world at Havana, Cuba, on Feb. 23.

The American champion signed his contract and will leave for Cuba immediately after his contest with Tony Mandle of Worcester, Mass., Wednesday night. The bout will be the biggest held in Cuba since Jess Willison knocked out Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world. McMahon will leave in about a week to complete arrangements for the championship battle. --- Olympia New Talent Show Among the twenty-two boxers listed for the eleven four-round bouts that make up the new talent boxing program at the Olympia A.

Wherever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. Whose Business Is It, Anyway? BECAUSE A MAN OR WOMAN has been fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to secure an unusual amount of formal education in a leading institution, it must not be taken to mean that they are themselves educated. Education does not always educate, and no amount of formal training will take the place of common-sense. This seems to be the case of Roscoe Conkling Bruce and his wife, Clara Burill Bruce, resident manager and assistant resident manager, respectively, of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments. HERE IS A MAN who is an honor graduate of Harvard College, assisted by his wife, who is an honor graduate of the Boston Law School, apparently unable to comprehend the most elemental reasoning in directing a co-operative project. Both of them seem bent upon currying favor with the Rockefeller interests by wholly subjugating the interests of over five hundred co-operative tenant-subscribers, and denying them all voice in the proposition save that of paying the bills—all the bills—including their own salaries. RESPONSIBILITY is placed on the shoulders of the resident and assistant resident manager because we believe that the sponsors of the Dunbar Apartments looked to them for the kind of advice and criticism which would help them carry the project to success. Their educational attainments would easily lead one to conclude that they—the Bruces—would be able to give this advice and criticism. But it is in this conclusion that a grave mistake was made by someone. RECALL MRS. BRUCE'S assertion that she is responsible only to Mr. Rockefeller—who, incidentally, is in Egypt at this time—note the condescending air of the management's letters to tenant-subscribers; ask yourself if it was necessary to withhold the subscription-agreements for a year; take cognizance of the readiness to dispossess "certain" tenant-subscribers; read through all the literature sent out by the management during the past year and mark that in no instance have tenant-subscribers been told what the Dumbar Apartments cost to build and what it cost to operate them. Then reflect how singular it is that the two errors in the settlements of tenant-subscribers who moved out were both made in favor of the corporation; and that the entire lease and subscription agreement is being interpreted in a way detrimental to the tenant-subscribers by the resident manager. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT PREDICT FAILURE for the Dunbar Apartments, but we do predict failure for the present management. We also predict that in time the sponsors of the project will see the wisdom of letting the tenant-subscribers help them conduct the apartments to the mutual benefit of both parties. Bread and Candy THE LAST NEGRO to hold the office of Register of the Treasury was J. C. Napier, in the administration of President Taft. Since the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson all the appointees to this position have been white. Through the administrations of Presidents Harding and Coolidge Negro political leaders have hoped in vain for the restoration of this office to their race. Their hopes were again dampened when on January 15 President Coolidge named a white man to fill the vacancy made by the promotion of Registrar Woods to the position of Treasurer of the White House. FOR SEVERAL DECADES before Woodrow Wilson's election the offices of Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds were regarded as the property of Negroes; even the Democratic Grover Cleveland appointed a Negro, James M. Trotter, as Recorder of Deeds. These offices were awarded the Negroes in recognition of their fealty to the Republican party. They were not only plums; they were plumes. The political leader who first conceived the idea of giving them to the Negro showed a keen understanding of Negro psychology. The offices themselves did not amount to much; but nothing tickled the Negro's vanity more than to tell his children that United States paper money was worth nothing till a Negro had written his name on it, or that a property deed in the District of Columbia was valueless without the signature of a Negro. AS NEGROES EXAGGERATED the importance of the Registry, they now exaggerate the injury of its loss. That it is a loss of recognition no one will deny; but it is not vital. Its practical benefit accrued to only one man, the appointee, leaving the rest of the race no better off than before. Like several other offices, it was a piece of candy given to keep the Negro quiet while the Republican party went on blandly ignoring the rights of the race as a whole. MANY NEGROES have come to see this, to realize that they were handed lollipops when they needed bread and meat. If all the minor offices in the Government were given to the Negro they would not do him as much good as the passing of a strong anti-lynching law, or a determined effort to suppress poonage, to restore the franchise in the South, or --- NO. 5. --- The Fourteenth Amendment COMMUNISM AND THE NEGRO to revive the Civil Rights Bill. To lose the offices is regrettable, but they will not be missed if they are replaced by legislation improving the condition of the race. THE Fourteenth Amendment is what might be called, in baseball parlance, a sacrifice hit. It never had any intrinsic merit in itself, but was calculated to effect an anterior purpose. After the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment slavery ceased to exist as an organized institution. Representation in Congress by the original Constitution was based upon free persons and other persons, in the ratio of five to three. Logically, the Fourteenth Amendment was wholly unnecessary. All free persons, and all persons were then free, automatically acquired equal weight as a representative entity. The device of curtailment of representation was merely a makeshift to induce the former slave states to accord to the Negro the elective franchise. It never was intended to limit the basis of representation, except to meet the exigencies of a local and temporary situation. The membership of the House of Representatives and of the Electoral College is based primarily upon population, without regard to sex, race, nationality, or the right of franchise. Women, whom the fathers never dreamed of enfranchising, counted equally with men; children, who were expressly excluded by the age requirement, had like weight; adults; foreigners and native born contributed equally to the quota. Only the slave and the Indian, not taxed, were restricted or excluded on the basis of apportionment. There never was, and there is not now, any serious intention of altering this original intention to count every person as one, regardless of political or natural peculiarities. The Fourteenth failed from the outset, failed utterly, to effect the purpose for which it was intended. LAST October I mentioned in The Amsterdam News the fact that the Communists are attempting to organize the Negro workers of the world in one vast union, and I gave the gist of their program. I also mentioned one of their journals, The Negro Worker, published in French. Since then I have received a letter from the Palace of Labor in Moscow from the editor of The Negro Worker telling me that when I stated that The Negro Worker is published by the International Secours Rouge (Communist) I was wrong. The Negro Worker, says the letter, "is the official bulletin of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers of the Red International of Labor Unions. "You also stated that the publishers of The Negro Worker are a "white" organization. This also is incorrect. The Red International of Labor Unions is an international revolutionary working class organization of all nationalities. "The report of the work of the Fourth Congress of the Red International of Labor Unions convened in March, 1928, states that 'represented in the Congress was the trade union movement of the countries of Europe, Asia, North and South America, Australia and Africa. Well represented were the Pacific, colonial and semi-colonial countries." "It is needless for us to say that our program calls for a determined fight against all racial discriminations and inequality practices in the labor movement, such as are prevalent in the American Federation of Labor against Negro workers." The letter also goes on to tell of the action taken by the Executive Bureau of the Red International for getting the Norwegian into the Communist fold. Since Negro workers, it says in part, comprise a very powerful force in the fight against capitalism, "thanks to their economic, political and radial oppression," and since the Negro workers of the United States, Africa and the West, Indies will achieve equality with the white workers only by means of an organized and relentless struggle against the whole system of capitalist oppression, therefore, it is resolved to set up a committee of Negro workers composed of two representatives from the Negro workers of the United States, and one cach from South Africa, Guadalupe, Martinique and Cuba. Hulit, East Africa, Portuguese Africa, the Bolgian Congo, Liberia, French Equatorial Africa, and those countries of Latin America where there are considerable numbers of Negro work- By KELLY MILLER The Fifteenth Amendment was added to accomplish directly what the former expedition had failed to accomplish by indirection. The Fourteenth Amendment has never been enforced, and in all human probability never will be. Con- PRESIDENT - Kelly Miller - gressman Crumpacker of Ohio, some twenty-five or so years ago, espoused the cause of reduction of Congressional representation, but like Mr. Tinkam of Massachusetts, his present day counterpart, could hardly muster enough reinforcement to get a second to his motion. Seven presidents and nine administrations have come since President Harrison, and yet no one of them lifted its little finger to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment. It is a safe prediction that -Bu J. A. ROGERS ers (Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, etc.) are also to be drawn on. Joht unions of white and Negro workers are to be formed, and in places like South Africa, where the law prevents black and white from being in the same union, independent black unions are to be formed. The Negro Worker, published JOHN H. J. A. Rogers in various languages at Moscow, is being broadcast to Negroes all over the world. The question is: What effect will Communist agitation have on the world-wide color problem and what benefit, if any, is the Negro going to derive from it? This, indeed, is difficult to forecast. But one fact is certain: Those nations having colonies with a large colored population are not going to relish Communist doctrine, to say the least. Indeed, if my own personal opinion is asked, I would say that England, who has most to lose, is already so panicky that she's afraid of her own shadow. And England has cause to be panicky. Of some 475,000,000 persons in the British Empire there are about 425,000,000 colored. Of that number perhaps one in a thousand really loves a white man, for while it is rare to find a white man who loves a dark-skinned person. It is for rarer to find a colored man who loves a white one. The Hindus number some 300,000,000 souls, yet I have reason to believe that the white race would have considerable trouble drumming up a few thousand Hindus who had any genuine love for it. Communism is the new religion. Economics it its god and Karl Marx is its prophet. Speaking purely as an observer, as one who would not lift a finger either to help or hinder it. I believe that with increasing industrialism Communism is going to spread over the world. It talks to the pocket-book, a language that people of Mr. Hoover, after his probable eight years in the White House, will leave the situation in the same posture as he inherited it from Mr. Coolidge. The Negro has been clamoring in and out of season for the rigid enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment and the reduction of Southern representation. His motive is wholly vindictive. He resents, and naturally enough, the thought that the white Democrats should profiteer on his representative capacity while denying him participation in the political power based upon his numbers. The idea is ethically vicious and arouses the animosity of the victimized race. But his protest reminds us of an infant crying in the night, with no language but a cry. His demand for full enforcement does not represent his attitude towards political virtue, but merely illustrates the human experience when the shoe pinches. If his order loudly or the Eighteenth as for the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, his contention would carry more moral weight. It is very much to be doubted whether the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment would rebound to the political advantage of the Negro. Should the six or seven Southern states which are allowed to violate this constitutional provision with impunity decide to enforce or to live up to its observance, they would doubtless prefer limited representation than admit the Negro to equal participation in the franchise. Should this occur, there would be little change, the black man's political future. It seems to me that the wise policy is to focus effort on the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment which forbids discrimination in the franchise on account of race and color. If this were accomplished, the Negro would ND THE N all climes and all religions can understand. It is beginning just as Christianity did among the lowest of the earth. Today in London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels and other large cities the Communist sections are the poverty-stricken ones. A great majority of those living in the wretched East End of London are Communists. They, by the way, sent to Parliament the only dark-skinned man who has ever been seated there. Communism, too, has had its martyrs. In the recent Chinese revolution Communist women died with all the fanaticism of the early Christians and Mohammedans. The Communists mean to make of Moscow what Rome is to the Catholic or Mecca is to the Mohammedan. Napoleon tried to make Paris the capital of Europe, and the 'Communists' are out to make Moscow the capital of the world. And very shrewdly they preached anti-militarism in England, France and other lands, while keeping in Russia one of the strongest armies in the world.

THE man who said, "I care not who makes the laws of a people if I can make their songs" missed a chance. His statement would have been stronger if for the word songs he had substituted myths. By a people's myths ye shall know-them. One cannot understand the ancient Greeks and Romans without a knowledge of their elaborate mythologies, for in these they expressed their philosophy, their ideals and what they hoped to be. The English would be a different people without the Arthurian legends, and Wotan and Siegfried certainly helped to make Germany. Fully imbued with this truth, Carter G. Woodson has compiled a volume of African myths. It is not nearly so large as "The African Saga" of Blisse Condrars, for the stories have been selected for reading by children. Thus they are simple folk tales in which the characters are animals; they avoid the barbarism of the Norse and Teutonic myths. They are humorous and philosophical; they anticipate the Br'eR Rabbit yarns in style and often in content. Dogs, chickens, deer, rabbits, sheep, bats, cats, hawks, foxes, goats, lions, elephants, hippopotamus, cows, antelopes, rats, turtles, jackals, hyenas, all the animals that live in Africa figure in the book. The greatest figure, of course, is the giant crocodile, Ombure. Many of the tales attempt, to give a philosophical reason for SPECIAL ARTICLES certainly have little further grounds of complaint by reason of reasonable and equitable limitations which any state might deem best to place upon the right to vote. Such restrictions, however, are extremely unlikely. The tendency of democracy all over the world is in the direction of expansion rather than of restricting freedom since the Nineteenth Amendment extends right to vote to women indicates the direction in which the political tide is running. It is too painfully manifested that the American people have no inclination to enforce the Constitution when it suits their mood not to do so. The Eighteenth Amendment is a striking illustration of this principle, or rather lack of principle. In the present mood of mind the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendmenteds with impunity will be ignored with impunity. Alone has the power to enforce amendments, but Congress does not choose in exercise that power. Congress is now passing a reapportionment act. There has been a deliberate and studied violation of the plain letter of the Constitution for ten years. The Electoral College and the Constitution of Congress have been based on unconstitutional grounds and the government itself and all of its acts are involved in deep dubious. But no one heeds the exactions of constitutional niceties. The thing works and the government still lives, although the provisions of the Constitution have been brought to nought. Just how long this condition of things is to continue is a question which gives the true patriot serious concern. Ex-President and now Chief Justice Taft has sounded the warning that lawlessness, if allowed to continue unchecked, destroys the nation. Violation of the Constitution is the fountainhead of lawlessness. emperors did at the rise of Christianity. The Communists, of course, mean to use the darker races to further their schemes, but the darker races must be prepared to use them instead. They must learn how to use them to further their own cause of freedom. Race prejudice is a weapon that can be made to cut both ways. Just as the white man has been using the darker man to oust his own people, as in West Africa, so the darker man must learn to use the white man against other white men to win his freedom. The Communist, while in Europe, is free of color prejudice like other Europeans, but when he comes to live among dark men he is pretty much like the rest. I have met some very prejudiced Communists in America, though Communism, like Christianity, condemns color prejudice. Communism has much dogma and indigestible bunkum, like other religions, but it has sounder and more practical meat than any of the others. It has economic doctrine that Negroes, above all others, ought to get acquainted with. But as to putting their neck in the Communist yoke, that is something else. REVIEW Wild Necessity Carter G.

Why does the sun shine by day and the moon by night? Why does the hawk catch chickens? Around such questions the African story-tellers weave their ingenious yarns. A glimmering of Darwin's theory of evolution is at times observable in these primitive tales. The belief in animal ancestors, the intermarriage of mankind and all sorts of animals, even spiders, bears the inference of man's relation to beasts.

It is very often a measles and the other diseases of chih lobar pneumonia, its occurrence is usually se other disease. Repeated attacks of bronchi bronchopneumonia. THE pneumonia of young children and old people is called bronchopneumonia. It is very often a complication of measles and the other diseases of childhood. Unlike lobar pneumonia, its occurrence is usually secondary to some other disease. Repeated attacks of bronchitis may lead to bronchopneumonia. Children with rickets and those poorly nourished fall easy victims to this disease. There is no massive areas of solidification in these cases as the inflammation involves the very smallest bronchial tubes, and the whole picture may be that of a very severe bronchitis. In old people, it follows chronic respiratory infections, and may be a terminal complication in diseases of the heart, kidney etc. used in hospitals, I feel, will be of great help. Antiphlogistine mustard plasters give good results as may be expected of this form of treatment. Great care should be taken to see that the common colds in the children be well taken care of, as the spread of infection further down the bronchial tubes is a very simple matter. Old people should be kept There is no crisis and sudden drop in temperature, and the duration of the illness may extend two to three weeks. The cough and shortness of breath are as a rule severe, but the associated pleurisy of lobar pneumonia is hardly ever seen. This, too, is a serious disease, especially when we consider the age of the patients and the fact that their resistance has already been lowered by some other sickness. The treatment is essentially the same as in lobar pneumonia, there being no serum in this type since the germ causing the disease is of a mixed variety.

It is an adaptation of a former volume, "The Negro in Our History." to the capacity of children in the elementary schools. Even so, it is full of things unknown to the average well-read adult Negro, and he ought to read it. How many people know that, according to Balboa, Negroes from Africa were the first to discover America? That "cance" and "tobacco" are African words? That Negroes accompanied DeSoto and Ponce de Leon? That a Negro named Estevanico explored what is now Arizona? That in 1650 Negroes established a republic in Brazil? That a Negro pirate once terrorized the Caribbean Sea? That in this country there were at least ten slave rebellions, the first coming in 1711? That in 1741 the revolting slaves came near burning New York? That 3,000 Negroes fought in the Revolutionary War? That Negro soldiers saved Washington's army from annihilation at the Battle of Long Island? That Osceola, the Tiger of the Everglades, was a Negro-Indian? More and more unfamiliar things emerge as one reads this LETTERS TO THE EDITOR DUNBAR APARTMENTS This Correspondent Looks Upon Dunbar Apartments as Exploitation Scheme. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: In the January 23 issue of your valued paper, in your discussion of the Dunbar Apartment situation, I think you have unconsciously expressed the crux of the whole case, to wit: "Even after reading it (the Dunbar lease) the average person would not know what it was all about. It numbers twenty-eight printed pages, and is couched in legal phraseology throughout." If space were available, it could be shown through several angles that the whole scheme is a case of skillful economic exploitation and a lot of good people have bit hard. Also, any person who signs a twenty-eight-page lease without at least fifteen days' study stands with a fair chance of being stung badly! Who moral is: "Beware of Greeks Who Glow!" Very truly humour.

Antiphlogistine mustard plasters give as good results as may be expected of this form of treatment. Great care should be taken to see that the common colds in little children be well taken care of, as the spread of infection further down the bronchial tubes is a very simple matter. Old people should be kept from drafts and sudden chilling of the body. They should not be allowed to stay abed flat on their backs for any long period, as this predisposes them to the development of pneumonia due to a disturbance in the circulate of the lungs. After an attack of pneumonia the whole system is left very much weakened, especially the heart muscle. Any stresses effort as getting out of bed to walk to soon after convalescence begins may cause a tragic end to what ordinarily would be a successful recovery. A few weeks of rest, tonics, and wholesome food should constitute the follow-up treatment in all cases of pneumonia. book, and only a few can be mentioned here. In 1830 there were 3,777 Negroes who were not only free themselves, but actually owned slaves. Nearly 60,000 Negroes were free, one-seventh of the total Negro population. Arum 1790 a Negro was educated Princeton, of all places! Lou before the Civil War two Negroes were professors at New York Central College. Negroes are mostly Methodist and Baptists because white people, of those denominations were practically the first to oppose slavery. These scattered facts do not indicate the orderly arrangement of Dr. Woodson's history. Beginning with Negro discoverers and explorers, it deals with the beginning of slavery in this country and the West Indies, dwells upon the slave trade and, in turn, disuses the Monegas, and other rebels, the Emancipationists, the Revolution, the free Abolitionists, the Negro and the Indian, the attempts at colonization in Africa, the migrations of the Negroes, the Civil War and Reconstruction The story is brought down to 1883. If this book gets its just deserts If this book gets its just deserit it will be read by every Negro in the United States. AUBREY BOWSER To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: Having read the very interesting and pointed articles appearing in The Amsterdam News on Jan. 16 and 23, I wish to congratulate you for bringing to light the negligence of the management of the Dunbar Apartments. I desire to be conservative possible, since I can look back more than a half century. The Negro press is indeed our true redeemer and deserves greater support than that which is so given it. Hoping you will be able to thresh out the matter so as to give satisfaction to the tenants involved and to the interested reading public. May your example be followed by your success. Very truly yours, (Signed) W. HEMAN LUCAS, 331 West Fifty-second street, New York City, Jan. 24, 1929. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
