MANNING BAD CHECK DISPUTE WIDENS
YOUNG SOCIETY MATRON'S NECK BROKEN IN AUTOMOBILE MISHAP
REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
Editor of New York News and Former Alderman to Answer Charge of Libel Brought by Sam Manning, Who Complains Character Was Slandered
George W. Harris, former alderman and editor of the New York News, 135 West 135th street, has been summoned to appear in Heights Court tomorrow before Magistrate Dodge to answer a charge of libel brought by Sam Manning, former newspaperman and now musical comedy producer, 148 West 118th street, who averted his character was blackened by stories appearing in Harris' paper.
Stories in the paper declared that Manning was being strentuously sought by police on charges of forgery and larceny on complaint of Charles W. Foley, white, formerly a publisher at 234 East Fourteenth street. Manning's tabloid, the West Indian Times, was printed by Foley. Detectives Joe Cunningham and John O'Hara of the Eighth and Sixteenth precincts, respectively, declared Saturday that no warrant had been issued for Manning's arrest.
The mystery deepens when Manning admits he deliberately absented himself from home when Detective Cunningham called for a prearranged "interview" Saturday afternoon in company with Hubert Julian, Harlem evaporator and a close friend of Manning.
When interviewed by The Amsterdam News on Saturday, Cunningham was mildly indignant at the report that he even had a warrant for Manning's arrest. The even had a warrant for Manning's arrest that if Cunningham is not willing to make an arrest he certainly himself.
Abduction Charge
Holds Man in Bail
Police Say Accused Man Is Willing to Marry Girl
Andrew Braithwaite, 22, 2052 Seventh avenue, was held in $1,500 bail for a further hearing when arraigned Saturday before Magistrate Bushel in Harlem Court on a charge of abduction.
Braithwaite was arrested by Detectives Short and Nemetz of the West 123d street station in connection with the recent disappearance of Realue Hall. 15, who also lives at the Sev.
Manning still avoids the police, however, claiming that he does not wish to "expose" himself to possible arrest by Foley, who was told by the court that as a citizen he could arrest Manning on sight and that it was up to Cunningham himself to take any responsibility of assisting him. This advice, Cunningham said, came from Magistrate Jean H. Norris in East Fifty-seventh street court, where a warrant was refused Foley for Manning's arrest. The refusal was based, it is said, on the fact that Manning held receipts from Foley, showing that he had paid a total of $800 in account of printing bills owed Foley and that this account also, covered a few rubber dockets Manning says he gave Foley.
What Is a Forgery?
The News declared in its February 11 issue that Manning is wanted for "urgeries galore," but apparently makes no distinction whatever between a forged check and one that benefits back because of insufficient funds or "account closed."

Andrew Braithwaite, 22, 2052 Seventh avenue, was held in a $1,500 ball for a further hearing when arraigned Saturday before Magistrate Bushel in Harlem Court on a charge of abduction.
Braithwaite was arrested by Detectives Short and Nemetz of the West 123d street, station in connection with the recent disappearance of Realeus Hall, 15, who also lives at the Seventh avenue address.
The Hall girl disappeared on February 7 and a general alarm was sent out for her at the request of her parents. Braithwaite, who was known to be friendly with the girl, was questioned but he denied knowing the whereabouts of the girl. Saturday the detectives received information which caused them to again question Braithwaite. When he was threatened with arrest, he told the detectives, they say, that the girl could be found at 126 West 127th street.
The detectives went to the 127th street house, where they found the girl. She is alleged to have implicated Braithwaite, whose arrest followed.
He is alleged to have admitted his guilt and announced his willingness to marry the girl, the police say. The girl was placed in the custody of the Children's Society pending the outcome of the charge against Braithwaite.
Man, Separated From Wife, Kills Self With Gas
John Fletcher, 42, 8 East 115th street, who was separated from his wife, Frances, and their four children, committed suicide on Wednesday, the police say, by inhaling gas. Before ending his life Fletcher wrote a letter to Mrs. Minnie Sharp, 29 West 115th street, notifying her that by the time she received the letter he would be dead. He also requested Mrs. Sharp, who is a friend of the family, to notify his wife of his death.
Upon receipt of the letter Mrs. Sharp hurried to the Fletcher home. She smelled the odor of gas and, becoming alarmed, notified Policeman Fagan of the East 104th street station, who forced open the door. Fletcher was found dead in bed. Gas was escaping from an open jet in a theater and Dr. Hass, who was called from Harlem Hospital, pronounced him dead.

Bandit Handed 25 Years for Holdup
Aides in Crime Dealt Lighter Terms; Confess Ten Robberies
Total sentences of eighty years were imposed Thursday in General Sessions by Judge Morris Koenig who threw drug store bidder and celed terms of wage and one-half to twenty-five years and a convicted common law husband drew seven and one-half to fifteen years for inflicting scores of knife wounds on his love rival.
Theodore Scott, 25, was sentenced to twenty-five years for heading a holdup gang in a descent upon a drug store at 2185 Eighth avenue on November 11. Scott pleaded guilty to poking his gun at Irwin Welsh, who woke the establishment and making his way to the quantity of jewelry and $225 in each from the till.
The holdup man had a prison record and was given the stiff sentence on that account, Judge Koenig said. His associates, John Crawford, 18, and Aubrey C. Taylor, 33, who lived with scott at 151 West 142d street, received sentences of twelve and one-half to twenty-five, and seven and one-half to fifteen years, respectively.
The trio confessed to ten robberies on Harlem drug stores. Fifty complaints were lodged against them.
The sentence of seven and one-half to fifteen years for assault was given Fred Fowler, 35, laborer, of 429 West Fifty-second street. Fowler wielded a knife so expertly in a battle with Floyd Cox of Newark, a rival for the affections of Eva Lucas, who lived with Fowler, that 150 stitches were necessary to close the wounds.
Libel Charge Against Recorder Withdrawn
A charge of criminal libel against The American Recorder, 691 Lenox avenue, was withdrawn Friday by John W. Moses, editor of the American and West Indian News, 200 West 135th street, in Heights Court before Magistrate Bushel.
"I withdrew the charge," Moses said, "when I found that David Sampson, editor of the Recorder, was a member of the British West Indies World War Veterans, of which I am president." The case had been called on a summons.
The Recorder published headlines saying that Moses had been jailed on a charge of robbery, in its issue of January 25, in which it carried the story of Moses' arrest on a charge of grand larceny on complaint of Mrs. Olive Norman, 269 West 122d street. Mrs. Norman charged that she gave Moses $1,000 with which to purchase a house and he appropriated the money to his own use. Moses denied the charge, but was recently Indicted by the Grand Jury.
DETECTIVE LIEUTENANT
SHIELDS TRANSFERRED
Following the "hopping" of former Detectives Webber and Moore of the West 135th street station by placing them on the street in uniform, Detective Lieutenant John W Shields, white, in command of the detective division, was transferred to the Fifteenth precinct, 152d street and Amsterdam avenue. Superceding Lieutenant Shields is Detective Lieutenant George Thompson, white, who was himself transferred from the Fifteenth precinct, where Shields now is.
Charges Against Roy Lancaster, Secretary-Treasurer, Were Heard by Porters' Representatives Before Crosswaith and Des Verney Were Asked to Resign
FOLLOWING a meeting Monday night with the Executive Advisory Committee of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, in the editorial offices of The Amsterdam News, this publication has decided to regard the Randolph-Lancaster-Crosswaith-DesVerney controversy as a closed incident unless, of course, some untoward incident of sufficient interest to the public and the Brotherhood serves to reopen it.
THE EXECUTIVE ADVISORY COMMITTEE of seven members is elected by members of the General Organization Committee, which consists of about 200 members. Both are composed entirely of porters and maids in the employ of the Pullman Company. A. Philip Randolph, general organizer,
Two Women Get Prison Terms for "Eternal Triangle" Harlem Homicides
Two wives whose marital paths led them to tragedy received penitentiary sentences for second degree manslaughter yesterday in General Sessions.
Saturday in General Sessions.
Judge Max S. Levine sentenced Mrs. May Ayres, 24, 211 Edgecombe avenue, to seven and one-half to fifteen years for the slaying of her husband, Walter, on December 24 in front of 225 West 133rd street. She received an additional five years for possession of the revolver that snuffed out her mate's life because of reported infidelity.
Mrs. Else Early, 34, 165 West 127th street, was meted three and one-half to seven years in Auburn prison, for the fatal stabbing of Maude Gary, who stole her husband's affections and stayed with him at 246 West 148th street. Mrs. Early is the mother of an eight-year-old lad and had been separated from her husband about a year.
The wife went to her husband's apartment the night of November 23 to secure money for the child's support. The husband, hiding his love companion in his bedroom, attempted to put the visitor out and beat her. Infurished by the treatment, Mrs. Early seized the man's open knife just as his paramour came out of the bedroom.
Mrs. Early was grasped by the woman and cut the right knee.
As the two struggled the knife plunged through Miss Gary's jugular vein. She died immediately.
Mrs. Early pleaded guilty to second degree manslaughter without use of a dangerous weapon two weeks ago. She was defended by John William Smith. 26 Cortlandt street; Oscar Garrett, 2303 Seventh avenue and Albert Grosman, white. 1471 Broadway.
LOOTS HOUSE WITH
AID OF POLICEMEN
BALTIMORE, Feb. 18.—Arrested by two policemen while he was looting a warehouse, Clarence Hicks, 23, asked the officers to go home with him while he secured some articles to take to jail.
Going to a house where he seemed at home, the prisoner changed his clothes, took a watch and some other articles. After helping the man pack up and, taking him to jail, a man appeared at the police station and declared the articles were taken from his house.
Magistrate Rules He Was Justified in Ejecting
A summons charging John F. Plunkett, white, chief clerk of the Seventh District Municipal Court, with assaulting Charles Lynch, attorney, 2138 Seventh avenue, was dismissed Wednesday in Harlem Court by Magistrate Gottlieb. Mr Lynch was ill at his home at the time of the hearing but sent a representative from his office to ask an adjournment. The magistrate refused the request and declared Plunkett justified in his action after hearing the white man's story. Plunkett explained that he was seated in his office, where he had considerable money which represented rents deposited by tenants, when Lynch insisted upon entering. He requested the lawyer to leave, Plunkett said, and when the latter refused he was obliged to eject him. Plunkett denied, however, that he had assaulted Lynch or had used force in ejecting him.
A different story is told by Mr. Lynch, who declared he was in the room talking with Hugh Masterson, white, deputy clerk, about some papers lost in the records.
Plunkett ordered him out when he protested as Masterson informed him clerks would make no effort to secure the necessary papers. Upon his refusal to comply immediately he was klecked and hit by Plunkett, Mr Lynch said.
Find Jim-Crow Scare Unfounded at Dance
Advised over the telephone by Miss Antoinette Purelle, white, chairman of the hop committee of the senior class of Hunter College, to stay away from the annual dance at the Ambassador Hotel, Fifty-first street and Park avenue, Negro members of the class attended the affair in spite of the warning and the discrimination expected.
Miss Purelle is reported to have told her classmates she feared unpleasantness on the part of the hotel management and employees. None was encountered, however. The girls who were warned were advised by Alderman Fred. R. Moore and James Weldon Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P. to go to the dance.
The girls and their attendants were: Miss Olive Outramand and Charles Simpson, Miss Hazel-Face and Frank Rudder, Miss Evelyn Batey and Richard Baltimore, Miss Jane Humphrey and Melvin Ross, Miss Willie Branch and Langston Hughes.
John S. De Bourg Held For Special Sessions
John S. De Bourg, a real estate salesman, 56 West 126th street, charged with practicing medicine without a license, was held in $500 ball for trial in special sessions by Magistrate Brodsky in Harlem Court, Thursday, after he waived examination. He denies the charge. Detective Roberts of Inspector Ryan's staff arrested De Bourg on a warrant secured from Chief Magistrate Mcadoo. The detective testified that on Jan. 28 he visited De Bourg's home and paid the alleged doctor $2. after he had diagnosed his aliment and prescribed treatment.

VICTIM ON WAY TO FRIEND'S FUNERAL WHEN FATALLY HURT
Speeding northward to the funeral of a fellow teacher and friend who succumbed to an operation Thursday, Mrs. Bernice Wilson Cook, 27, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wilson, 2588 Seventh avenue, was killed Sunday morning about nineteen miles from Greensboro, N. C., when the automobile in which she was riding was wrecked.
Detectives from the East 104th street station are searching for a white taxicab chauffeur who shot and seriously wounded Walter Abbott, 28, 221 East Ninety-ninth street, when he tried to recover $10 the chauffeur stole from him.
Abbott had attended a party in East 103d street, Wednesday morning, and boarded the cab with the request that he be driven home. He alighted in front of his home and handed the chauffeur a $10 bill. The chauffeur after pretending to fumble in his pocket for the change suddenly started the car and drove away.
Abbott gave chase, caught up with the cab and jumping on the running board grappled with the chauffeur and managed to secure his $10. The chauffeur drew a revolver and fired at Abbott, striking him in the abdomen. He fell from the running board and the chauffeur snatched the $10 and fled.
Abbott made his way to his home and went to bed, where Jerry Harris, with whom Abbott lived, found him unconscious. The police were notified and Abbott was hurried to City Hospital in a serious condition.
Questioned by Detective Browne, East 104th street station, Abbott furnished the police with a description of his assailant and a general alarm has been sent out for his arrest.
Politician Gets Prison Term in Bribery Charge
CLEVELAND, Feb. 16.—Speculation in political circles as to the successor to Thomas W. Fleming, city councilman who resigned ten days ago following his conviction upon charges of accepting a bribe, was rampant here today, with Mrs. Letha Fleming, wife of the convicted political chief, looming as a possible selection.
Fleming's attorney, George W. Spooner, is busy preparing a petition of error upon which he will appeal the decision. The Republican ruler of the Eleventh Ward was sentenced to two years and nine months last Wednesday by judge N. Craig McBride in Common Pleas. He is free on ball of $3,000 furnished by Howard Slaughter, undertaker.
With a sentence of ten years possible under the conviction, Fleming would have to serve the full term imposed.
The car was laden with a party of young men and women from Greensboro on their way to pay their last respects to Miss Evelyn Humbles of Lynchburg, Va., who died in Greensboro hospital. Details of the wreck were not forthcoming in the message Sunday by long distance telephone to the Rev. A. C. Garner, 250 West 136th street, whose daughter is also a teacher in Greensboro. The young teacher suffered a broken neck. Injuries of other members of the party could not be confirmed Monday.
Mrs. Cook was well known in New York and in Greensboro, where she was teaching her third year. She is the wife of Mercer Cook, Howard University instructor and son of Will Marlon Cook, noted composer and musical director, and Abbie Mitchell, soprano and dramatic artist. She was born in New York and received her education here, graduating from Wadleigh High School and Teachers' College. The deceased was credited here for her work as a writer of amateur plays.
After she was married to the Howard teacher the pair spent one year in Paris, where Mr. Cook took advanced studies. They separated following their return to this country. Services are scheduled to be held tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Salem M. E. Church, Seventh avenue at 129th street. The Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor, will preach the funeral.
LETTER CARRIER
SLASHED IN FIGHT
Frank Goodman, 38, superintendent of a building at 30 West 133d street, accused of slashing the left check of Leon White, 34, a mail carrier, 223 West 143d street, with a knife, was held in $5,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of felonious assault, when arraigned in Heights Court Friday before Magistrate Bushel.

September, that Mrs, Garvey. at-
tempted suicide over financial wor-

Harlem Hospital.
Foley declared that he took sick
about the same time and was obliged
to remain home. He admitted, how-
ever, that although Manning was
deeply in debt to him and that he
had been given a bad check, he
printed Manning's newspaper for two
weoks thereafter.
Foley also admitted negligence on
his part in accepting the check in
question without endorsements. Man-
ning denies having seen the check at
any time, and says Foley refused to
show it to him.

check. is unknown to the State Bank
and Frank Bennett, the payer, never
Yad an account there, Mr. Muller
said.
He was amused.
The manager revealed, however,
that Manning hed an account there
at one time and that there was some
inquiry about ‘it last September from
the District Attorney's office on ac-
count of so many checks bouncing
back from Manning's acount. He
denied authorship of the statement
that the check was “the slickest
forged check that ever passed through
a teller’s window.”

Foley said he could not understand
Detective Cunningham's attitude in
the case as te and Cunningham had
spent much time trying to locate
Manning. "However, his efforts to
have Manning arrested will not
abate, Foley said. He admitted belng
very Feluctant to consult the District
‘Attorney's office where, he said, he
‘was told last fall that Manning would
be brought In and indicted at his re~
quest. He disitkes this method, he
declared, because it would defeat his
purpose—to get the money.
Manning now owes him about $1,~
500 and holds his rubber checks for
over $900 of this amount, Foley sald.
‘Manning declares the balance due is
only $200; that the rubber checks
have been covered by cash payments,
but that Foley has always made ex-
cuses for not turning the checks over
to him.
Foley sald Sunday that he will be

Republican Club made a stirring ap-
peal for citizens 10 give the sponsors
of the movement their moral and
financial support, and declared that
‘he monument would prove an in-
spiration to Negro posterity.
State Senator Cuncan O'Brien de-
clared that the measure will have his
enthusiastic interest and asked for
euggestions whereby he may better
serve the cause.
‘Assemblyman Grenthal also ad-
dressed the forum,
The Rev. John W. Robinson, pas-
tor, stated that Negroes have a right
to demand an appropriation for a
monument, but that the appeal
should be ‘made solely on the basis
of manhood.
Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of
the New York Age, spoke briefly but
pointedly upon the subject of the
Harlem Negro citizen's power through
organization and unity. He said that
Negroes of the Nineteenth and
Twenty-first districts proved them-
selves spineless creatures in thelr
failure to send a Negro to Congress

ALL THE CHARGES made by Frank R. Crosswaith
and William H. DesVerney, special and assistant general
organizers, respectively, have been placed before one or both
of these committees. The resignations of Crosswaith and
DesVerney were demanded upon the sole responsibility and
power repesing in one or both of these committees. Thus, if
these two committees are satisfied with their actions in vot-
ing the dismissal of Crosswaith and DesVerney, everyone else

THE AMSTERDAM NEWS has always been in hearty
sympathy with the Brotherhood movement, and has sup-
ported it since its inception. It does not question the sin-
cerity of the two ousted organizers, one of whom ie credited
with the genesis of the Brotherhood idea. But The Amster-
dam News is uawilling to sce the movement wrecked if there
is anything it can do to prevent it; and we see no useful pur-
pose to be served the Brotherhood in questioning the au-
thority of committees set up by the Pullman employees
themselves. .

The woman is battling a ruling by Justice Abrams, who ordered her to pay an increase of $25 by February 12 or get out of her apartment. Joseph Sobel, white, 675 West End avenue, is landlord.
In an order signed last Wednesday by Justice Peters in Supreme Court proceedings of the landlord or any marshal empowered by the Seventh District Court are stayed. The landlord is also called upon to show cause for the dispossess action.
An affidavit was filed Saturday by the property owners and Mrs. Green, through Vernal J. Williams, 200 Broadway, immediately filed an answer. A ruling is expected tomorrow or Friday.
Mrs. Green was first haled before the court by Sobel, who charged her with being an insurgent and refusing to pay an increase after all the other tenants had agreed to accept an increase. The tenant charged Justice Alrams with displaying racial prejudice in the proceedings and threatening her witness with arrest because he intervened when Sobel linked her on the leg.
Tenants Compromise
Nineteen tenants baked before the Seventh District Court on Friday by Herman Smithline, white, 561 West 147th street, were urged to compromise with the landlord on the increases sought. Smithline sought to boost rent on six rooms from $66 to $110, on five rooms from $55 to $80 and on seven rooms from $80 to $110. In the agreement effected the tenant agreed to pay $90 for seven rooms, $80 for six rooms and $68 for the rooms.
Action Promised on Stairs Through Park
Action was promised Saturday by Park Commissioner Walter R. Herrick in investigating a request of citizens through The Amsterdam News for a temporary stairway from Edgecombe avenue at. 150th street through Colonial Park to Bradhurst avenue and 150th street.

Replying to the appeal, Commissioner Herrick said:

GROW With Harlem
There is no limit to the possibilities of the future of Harlem. Today Harlem is three times greater in population than the entire State of Nevada. 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 it in pursuit of growth of Harlem, and The Amsterdam News. reading 25,000 families is one of the greatest single sales producing factors in this territory.

Mr. A. S. Jackson writes from Rutherfordton, N. C.—
"I would get up mornings and my joints would ache. I would feel sore. I would feel sleepy and stupid. I didn't feel like I wanted to work.
"I would of Black-Draught and how highly it was demanded. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape."
Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been absorbed into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people and much relief was been found in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. Thedford's Black-Draught should be taken as often as necessary to open the bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity.

Grace Campbell First in Harlem to Tackle Problem of Unmarried Mother
By THELMA E. BERLACK

Something had to be done—and the thing done reads like fiction. Everybody admitted that the unmarried mother was one of the city's hardest problems—and yet the city made no move to offer her shelter. So Grace Campbell, as her share toward a solution, started the Empire Friendly Shelter on West 133d street more than sixteen years ago.
The war came and with it a lack of funds. The Shelter was closed, but there remained that pressing need for a home for unmarried mothers and delinquent girls. The Sojourner Truth House, a reorganization of the Shelter, was opened in 1919 in West 130th street. Shortly after that the Katy Ferguson Home was started in the same street. The first mentioned home offered temporary care to girls under 16 in danger of becoming delinquent; the latter, a temporary home for unmarried mothers and their babies. Although the Sojourner Truth House closed its doors in 1921, they were opened in 1925, but this time under the name of John

R. Hegeman Home for Colored Girls. Mr. Hegeman former president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, bequeathed $35,000 for that purpose. New Rochelle is the place where a home was selected, but in the summer of 1926, when the reconstruction was well under way, through legal steps, the community in which the house was located prevented the use of the property for the contemplated purpose.
The Katy Ferguson Home has continued its work to date at 162 West 130th street under the directorship of Mrs. Estelle Caution. In it are homelike quarters for 16 girls and eight babies. Only a girl in difficulty for the first time is received. She is taught how to cook, keep house, care for herself and her baby—all before the baby is born. Each girl is sent to a hospital when the proper time arrives, and after her dismissal from the hospital she stays at the home with her baby until suitable employment is found for her with her birth, or, when it is advisable, until the baby is placed for adoption. Mrs. Caution's assistants are Miss Geneva Lisby, house matron, who majored in domestic science at Cheyney in Pennsylvania; Miss Marie Curtis, volunteer desk worker, who is studying business at City College, and Mrs. Gladys Walton.

Sea Food
ONLY in the past few years has the matter of iodine been understood. As one of the minerals, it is present in the body in large enough quantities to be measured, the amount totaling twenty-five grams. The sea is one of our great sources of iodine supply. The fish that live in the sea and the plants that grow on rocks that are submerged in the sea water furnish iodine.
In this section of the country we get enough iodine from natural sources. We do get vegetables which are grown in the South, where iodine is plentiful, and we have sea food in abundance. On the other hand, a systematic effort has been made to put iodine into the diet of persons living in inland regions. Michigan and Ohio for instance. Children in Ohio were given chocolate flavored iodine tablets, while in Michigan a special iodized salt has been developed and is available every year. Remember, a well balanced varied diet should contain sea food and plenty of vegetables. The only way to be sure about your supply of iodine is to eat sea food and vegetables.
Household Hints
Molded salads are an especially popular form of utilizing left-overs. The prettiest effects are obtained when the mold is rubbed with oil, rather than moistened with water, as most recipes direct. Oil not only makes removal of the molded salad daughter of Alderman Fred R. Moore, publicity director. Among the persons who have donated their services to the home during the year are the following: Dr. M. Edward Chinn, physician; Mrs. Lillian Glover, dental hygienist; Mrs. Ruth Whaley, attorney-at-law; the Rev. Shelton H. Bishop; Mrs. Blanche K. Thomas, director of music; Mrs. Louise Congo, who teaches the girls sanitation and hygiene; Mrs. Mayer, teach of handicraft.
In her annual report for the year, issued to the board of managers recently, Mrs. Caution stated that the cases cared for in 1928 totaled $4, as against 100 each year previous. The average age of girls taken in the home is 16, although the youngest care is that of a girl who will not be eleven years old until June and her baby is now six weeks old.
Next week I shall tell you how the Katy Ferguson Home is supported; list the sources from which these unmarried mothers come to the home; and name the present board of managers.

Vegetable salads should be made to look much like a fresh garden itself. Each vegetable must remain distinct in shape and color in the harlequin mixture. The rightful place for a vegetable salad in a menu is with the roast rather than in a separate course.
A good salad is never acetic. Take care that the presence of acid is only barely suspected.

things and we've figured that we'd need at least $1,000 to furnish a home the way we'd like. My friend suggested that we take a furnished room for a while, but I don't like the idea. Do you advise us to marry now or wait and save some money? I say "marry now" to you and the many other couples who are in the same circumstance. You muzz' put such a stress on money. It's not as important as we try to make it.
You must remember that the opportunities for us as a race are not nearly so great as they are for the white race. Our young men cannot jump into business concerns and work their way up as can their white neighbors. Nor can our girls, either. We've got to work much harder for far less, in most cases.
Considering this, we should not try to pattern after others but do the best we can. Start in one or two rooms and you won't have to furnish on eight-room apartment. Don't aim to live in the most expensive apartment house there is, at first. Start humbly, work diligently and save. You can save on clothes and entertainment.
The important thing is to make your home cheerful and inviting. This can be done with a little careful planning and with very little money.

"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"
THE Rodeph Sholom Sisterhood, an organization of whites, chose "The Racial Problem and Women" as the central theme for Monday's 2:30 meeting in the Veda Room of Mecca Temple, 130 West Fifty-sixth street.
Three distinguished women, each a leader among her own people, discussed some phase of the subject. Mrs. Addie W. Hunton represented the Negro women; Dr. Mabel Lee, of Columbia University, the Chinese; Princess Atalie, of the Cerokee Indian tribe, the Indian.
Mrs. Hunton, as president of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, is thoroughly equipped to represent women on any occasion, and specifically Negro women on an occasion similar to Monday's.
When sisterhoods, clubs, social organizations and the like see fit to give us a voice on their programs, we should count such as a valuable recognition of Negro womanhood.—T. E. B.
Rouge
IT IS very difficult for a woman to decide which is the best kind of rouge for her complexion. The right kind, that is, the rouge that blends with her complexion and agrees with the texture of her skin, is discovered only after a trial of many kinds. There are three kinds of rouge, the powder, the paste and the liquid. People whose skins are inclined to be moist find the powder rouge the best, while those whose skins are dry find the paste gives the best results. The liquid rouge is not used as much as the other two kinds because of the difficulty in applying it. It is not an easy task to distribute liquid rouge evenly, and as most of us are hard-pressed for time, it is better that we not use it. Liquid paste, however, stays on longer than the other two. Before using your rouge, rub a vanishing cream well into your skin as a base and then apply rouge lightly and carefully.
Remember that daylight is relentless on the complexion and that you must be very careful how you apply your rouge or you will have a very artificial complexion.
Rouge should and can enhance one's appearance if applied moderately and carefully. Nothing looks more vulgar than a face that is overpainted. On old and young alike it is disgusting. Discover your most becoming shades and apply it moderately.

FIELDS SPEARS 'YOUNG MASTER'
FIELDS SPEARS 'YOUNG MASTER'
But Baby Joe Gans Had a Useless Right Hand Friday Night
Baby Joe Gans has been beaten, but not conquered.
Fourteen thousand fight fans last Friday night at Madison Square Garden saw the soggy glove of Jackie Fields, near champion welterweight, raised in victory after ten gruelling rounds of fighting with the young master.
No one there could contend or say that Fields did not win by a fair margin, and no one can say that Gans did not take his place with out retreating on the inch. Fields took eight of the hectic ten rounds with an ever tierless attack, except in the fourth and tenth rounds, when he appeared to tire. Fields' attack was a two-fisted one that centered on Gans at first round, to be vaulted in later rounds with shots to the jaw and
The showing of Gans was, indeed, a surprise to the spectators, and from every side could be heard the query: "Is this the toy Gans like the Glick such a shell-lending?" It was a fact that it wasn't the same Gans that they had seen before in the same ring. Only in the fourth, when, and not in straight rights and lefts that made Fields appear like a novice, was Gans the young master. Fields would rush into Gans wide open, an easy target for an even cannon, and in Gans, Gans jab with his left, but the famous sight that has made Gans a marvelous one-two puncher, never followed—and there was it after. Gans caught Fields only one hand, his left. Little did the spectators know that Gans had gone 'into the ring with a pair of bad hands, and had used the same field as the first round. Fields high on the head (splitting his eye) in the first round. Several times after that Gans made half-hearted attempts to use the right hand to tiger trying to hold his own until the ten rounds ended.
Gans offers no alibi for his showing, he is not that kind. He was also the victim of gross negligence on the part of the instructor while Gans' mouth-piece to the arena. A boxer's mouth-piece is made of rubber and is for the protection of the teeth and must be placed on the plate. Gans was forced at the last minute to use the mouth-piece loaned to him by a white boxer, and it did not fit at all. In spite of the fact that he is only a beginner, Ethel Joe believes that he can bent Fields, the wetterweight, all he asks is another chance. The writer positively knows that Gans hurt his hands several times while training, and used every method possible to electrical treatment, to get his hands in shape. He thought they would probably hold up long enough to punch Fields into submission, for a cut lip. Gans came from the ring unmarked, and though it was an unusual sight to see Gans reached by so many blows from another boxer, that might be termed a bad heating.
Fields welged-in in the afternoon at 145 pounds, while Gans scarcely moved the scales at 140. The loss of the decision has not affected any further games. He was named. As soon as his hands men will he box Honey Boy Finnegan in Boston and Billy Wallace in Cleveland.
Carlton "Y" Continues to The Fore in Court Game
On Saturday, Feb. 16, the 125-lb team playing in the Y. M. C. A. League lost a very interesting game in the final score being Brooklyn Central, 21; Carlton, 18. The Y. M.

The junior team did very well in the key key key game. Each player was given an opportunity for a good workout in preparation for their game with the Trojans on the 23d. The Trojan team was very well prepared. It will be remembered that they played the Y. M. D. juniors to a 17-17 score some weeks ago. This team was the Remaining Games at Carlton. Saturday, Feb. 23—Y.

I'll take back the s. 04-06, never made the s. 04-06, never made the crowd was always when
ON the presumption that readers of this column expect something about days of yore in the life of baseball, we will gather around the old stove and have a little "fan-fest" concerning some of the boys of yesteryear. One thing you will admit, there is nothing more pleasing to the ear than a recital of enjoyable incidents in life "when you and I were young, Maggle." But the man's old as he feels. We will let it go at that. Positively, a man is not so old as I am. As I know of that, Yet, the longer you live, the more you see, and if blessed with a nerve memory you have a splendid view of the past as well as the present. When forget the days of your youth entirely "darling, you are growing old." Them's my sentiments. So, while the wood and coal is crackling in the old stove, "let us sing of the days that are gone."
We have had "Nap" Lajole and "Ty" Cobb as great drawing cards in former days of the big league, and now we have the Home Run King, Babe Ruth—a greater card than Lajole or Cobb. The passing of the "Babe" will be opening, but another may not be so colorful as the bambina to fill the middle. There will always be a player in the big league with adequate drawing qualification and, as a matter of business, it will be forthcoming and publicly preclaimed. Colored leagues haven't worked up to that phase of the business as yet.
In the old days there was a colored player whom I considered a marvel on a baseball field. I have seen all of them, white and colored, and I think this fellow was in a class by himself when it came to fielding stunts and playing the game in general. Recared in the shadow of Williams College, he was not overburdened with intelligence; in fact, he didn't know anything much; but how he could play ball. As a second baseman he would be back up of first base on a throw from short or third base. If a ball passed the third baseman or catcher on a throw from the outfield he would be backing up the play. He seemed to be better with one hand than with two. I considered his only weakness was a ground ball hit right at him. He would leap forward on the hardest line drives and spear them with either hand. He could pitch, catch or anything his mind led him to do; he could do it, and do it as good as anyone. He was the greatest drawing card of his time. With the Cuban Giants, towns and cities would not book games unless the Giants brought Frank Grant, the player I've told you about, with them. Frank Grant quiet, unassuming, had a country-wide reputation as a baseball phenomenon. His best days were in 1886 to 1892.
Coming nearer to the present time, we will class Monroe, infielder, Chicago Unions, the Giants, Philadelphia Giants and Royal Giants, as the biggest drawing card of Monroe was a natural comedian. He would pull some of the funniest stunts from the ball park. He had a voice like a fog-horn, which could be heard blocks from the ball park. When not doing funny business he would be having verbal spats with the bleachers or ampire. Other than being funny, Monroe was quite a ball player. He was fast, could hit and had an arm of steel. He made less errors than any ball player I ever saw. I take back that last statement. Charley Grant, Philadelphia Giants. '04-06, never made an error. All the towns would ask for Monroe and the people would cheer his appearance on the field and on the street. The crowd was always with "old Monroe."
Lincoln Takes First From Howard in Six Years
Before a crowd of 4,000 people in the Rockland Palace at New York last week, Lincoln defeated Howard with a score of 22-16. This was the first time the two teams have met again in a game, and was the first Bison defeat by the Lions under the regime of Coach Burr.
The game was rough and hard fought from start to finish but, according to Howard's coach, was one of the best games ever played by the Lions.
The game opened with the Lions drawing first blood with two twin markers, then the Bisons started their dazzling passing game, with the result defining the lead of 8 to 6 at half time.
In the second half Howard increased the lead with a basket from the floor, moving to the right. At this point the fighting Lions began a fresh attack, which continued through the remainder of the game, with the margin of 22 to 16 in favor of Lincoln.
Sydnor was Lincoln's outstanding star, who accounted for eleven of the Lions' total score. The two teams meet again in Orange, N. J.; on Feb. 22, and at Washington on Feb. 27. In both encounters the Lions will meet the Bisons with blood in their eyes.

COLLEGIANS IN HARD BATTLE
COLLEGIANS IN HARD BATTLE
Will Defend Their Title Against Phila. Peerless Five Tuesday Night
If we are to judge from the comments being heard in basketball circles these days it is going to be a big challenge Tuesday night, when the world beating Collegians line up against the Peerless Five of Philadelphia in a championship game. This game has fired the imagination of the youngsters and even the older fans seemed to have taken it too seriously, promises much in thrills. To cop the climax the "Y" Cardinals, champions of their class, will hook up with the team that plays in Brooklyn, Sunday School School league champions.
This will be the first time that the Brooklynites will be seen in action in the city, and can really question their supremacy, and the fur is going to fly—all night the governor is anxious to announce a minister defeat to an incumbent of the New York teams in her search for a real reputation, is leaving no stone in his trying to turn back the Colleagues.
In expectation of an unusually large outpouring of fans the Colleagues have engaged Vernon Andrades and his friends to play games and this alone will add to the night's features. Andrades has won a splendid reputation for furnishing the best music and he will naturally hit his best on occasion when many of them like to change hands. It will certainly be a big night in Gotham.
Machine Twice Victorious Over Elks and Rheims
NEWARK. N. J. Feb. 9—The Red and Black team from the parish house met the Newark Elks in the second game of their season series at the Dreamland Academy in Newark on Feb. 9 and again defeated the Elks. The Elks put up stubborn opposition during the first half, but the first ten minutes of the second half settled the issue. A series of line plays and signal formations alternately executed the Elks and furnished a safe lead. The Machines then assumed the defensive until the time out whistle.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.; FEB. 12. The St. Christopher Red and Black Machine ended their road tour with the Rheim Post basketball team on the evening of Lincoln's Birthday. It could be said that the St. C: Machine won the first half and the Rheim Post won the second half at half time by a score of 20 to 13. The Post team outscored in the second half, but by virtue of a final two-minute rally the Machine won the game. The Rheim Post anxious to meet St. C. club again, and Manager Cheese Johnson has promised them another chance if St. C.'s heavy schedule will permit. The Rheim Post will be Corbin and Webb starring for St. C. and Ward and Knox for Atlantic City. Rheim Post took advantage of the fouls called on St. C. and tailed free throws to their opponents two

James Evans, 55 West 129th street, billiard champion of Harlem, was defeated in a game with "The Masked Marvel," white, stunt player and alleged undefeated "miracle man" of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, last Wednesday night at Al Smith's Eaton Porter 240, 2937 North avenue, at 14th Street, Evans was a favorite in the betting.
A prize of $25 was offered to any billiard player who could defeat the masked player of the Coca-Cola Company. A crowd of about 800 watched the game, which lasted nearly two hours. Seventy-five cases of coon-cola were given away free, and Evans played less carefully than he should, while the masked figure swung around the Brunswick table with great care, making shot calls in all halles, which was considered a master stroke.
However, Evans played a good game and would have won, it is said, a pal in had not hung up in a pocket and was after winning the game "The Masked Marvel" staged a demonstration of exhibition shots, which was his highest while his masked opponent ran 28. There was talk of a return match.

Officers Prevented Battle At Ball Park Last Week
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 17 (By A. N. P.)—Prompt and determined action on the part of a half dozen colored officers from Newton Station prevented what would probably have been a white and colored fans and ball players at White Sox Park. In the fourth inning of the hotly contested Sunday game between Pirrone's All Stars and the Cleveland Giants, for the Winter League wind-up, the man, was at bat with the score 1 to 0 in favor of the colored boys. Brewer, pitching for the Giants, accidentally hit Pick with the pitched ball. He took his base and second base, then hit Jolley's, and Haney's hits and then from third base—began quarrelling with Brewer. The tall, good-natured youngster, who has been the pitching ace this season, hit Pick blank out. "You black blanket blank!" You hit me purposefully.
He threw down the ball and rushed to the big blonde, who advanced to meet him. Flists flew; those of Brewer's darting in and out like a trained oxer's, a big plump man, a big dog who had found their mark. Ball players of both teams rushed from their dugouts, fans began running out of the stand. With threatening gestures, a number of colored fans ran to the scene of battle, but the team colored officer in duty there, and a half dozen in citizen's clothes watching the game, separated the combatants and without ceremony showed the overzealous crowd back off the field. Both men were beaten, and the crowd proceeded without further incident, the whites winning 10 to 4.

WALLACE STOPS "MULE" BROWN
Guard Welter Game, but Former Titleholder Wins Bout
Harry Wallace, the Hebrew-Italian who formerly held the National Guard junior welterweight title, punched his way to a decision over Mule Brown, battler from the 369th Infantry, in the final 10-round bout at the 27th Division Train armory last Thursday night. Brown substituted for Stanicy Reid of Newburgh, who was unable to fight because of an injury to his hand.
Brown pranced out at the opening gong much in the manner of the quadruped for which he is nicknamed and took Wallace by surprise. It was two rounds before Harry solved the Mule's windmill attack, but when he did Brown had no more chance than an Irishman in Brownsville.
In the third stanza Wallace caught Brown smack on the jaw with a terrific left hook that slowed the galloping colored boy to a walk. From then on it was all Wallace. To the credit of Brown, however, it can be said that he never stunned trying
Wallace slaggered Brown in the eighth with a left to the stomach and a right to the jaw and for a moment he tilted the head. He weathered the storm, however, and came back strong in the next two frames, holding Wallace even in the last. But that time Harry was the only one to come out of those nose is oozing claret from one of Brown's wild rights. Wallace weighed 141 pounds, one less than Brown.
Bronx Volley-Ballers Win
Last Wednesday night at the West 135th street Y the Bronx Union defended the local boys 2-1. Scores were: 15-10, 11-15, 17-15. The last game, which was a heartbreaker, was lost by the local boys chiefly by their Union to argue with the referee and not win. In tonight the local boys will play host to the Highland Park Y in what should be a hotly contested game.
McCLAREN HERE WITH EDWARDS
Washington, D.C., Manager Confident of the Ability of His Fighter
"Jeems" McClaren, well known to fight fans and promoters in the District of Columbia and all over the country, blew into this neck o' the neck, bringing with him Billy Laye, a weeklong crack middleweight of Washington. Edwards needs no introduction to those who follow the game, having had thirty-one fights and winning twenty-nine out of the thirty-one by a single point. He is confident of his boy to make good anywhere, he has dropped his various interests in Washington to personally devote a little time in this city in trying to get an opening for him. Jess McMahon, who has done a great deal to give the colored fighters a chance in this city, will more than likely swing Edwards into the Olympia Club in the near future, as he has been making a chance for Edwards at an early date, and from reports which have been coming to us it is a certainty that the most successful small club owner, who was taken to the Garden by the matchmaking, will make no mistake.
McMahon has always believed in new blood among the talent he has been giving the people here and will not have to depart from any set policy to give newcomers the opportunity to work and then train immediately so as to be ready when the call comes for him to show his wares in these parts.

Phil Edwards Retains Crown at Crescent Meet Last Saturday
Percy Williams, sensational young Canadian sprinter and hero of last year's Olympic games, blazed his way to a new world record for 60-meters in the Crescent A. C.'s fourth annual meet at the old 13th Regiment Armory last Saturday night. Williams dashed the distance in 0:06 4-5, shaving two-fifths of a second from the old record made by Bob McAllister in 1927.
Colgate galloped off with the Sammy Reid trophy in the one-mile intercollegiate relay, nosing out Georgetown in a close finish. Syra Gorman, third. The time was 3:27 3-5. Dunn, Dulgul, Stollwerk and Roll ran in that order for Colgate, the last named batting Hector, of Georgetown, on even terms to the tape. He ahead to win by a quarter half yard.
Roll's great finish produced the fastest one-mile relay time of the current season, the metropolitan Detroit derby, clicking off his 440 yards in 50 seconds and picking up more than 18 yards to win. Georgetown, winner of the trophy for the past two years, seemed to have another leg tucked away when Billy Hogan took down Hector, the Georgetown ace. Gus Moore, former Boys' High star, now running for the Brooklyn Harriers, collected the two Joules Hagen Columbia. He led F. C. Bayley of the New York A. C. and Russell Fayne, unattached; in 9:33 4-5. Dick "Hitch" Griffith, of N. Y. U., won Jackson Scholz, the former champion, who is not in competition this winter. Hitch dashed off the distance in 33 3-5 seconds, beating W. Curr, of the New York Stock Exchange, of N. Y. U., who finished in that order. The 70-yard hurdles went to E. C. McDonald, of the Winged Foot organization. He beat out S. Furth, of N. Y. U., and C. E. Ring, of the E. C. McDonald's time was 2 seconds.
Phil Edwards, famous captain of the N. Y. U. track team, was the first to retain his title. He again captured the title in a big field by 30 yards in 2.17. The long-string violet middle distance led from the gun to the tape. Murray Goldfish, of the Milrose A. A., was second in the field. The distance was 3-5 seconds slower than last year, casing up after he had opened a big lead over his field.
Bob Welse, N. Y. A. A. c. speedster won the 60-yard dash for the tassey, in the 60-yard dash for the by default. Jimmy Cullin, the N. Y. A. C. star, also was out with a bad cold. Welse led in Jimmy Pappas, who was out with a bad cold, reckoning the Newark A. C. : 'Ira Singer, unattached, and Chet Bowman, of the Newark A. C., who was 0:06 3-5, two fifths of a second behind the national record.

RENS IN RETURN GAME FRIDAY
Paterson Five to Make Another Bid Against the Colored Champs
(By Francis).
The Renaissance Five, playing about 40 per cent below their early season's form, and wandering around the campus, accounted for two more victories on their home court during the last week-end.
Lincoln's Birthday night they met and watched the Paterson Club of the American League by one point in a thrilling game because of the closeness of the score throughout the encounter. The score ended 36 to 35, after being tied several times during the 40 minutes of play. Withal, the colored champions did not play within miles of the home form any time during the evening.
Jenkins and Mays alternated in playing a lone hand, and seemed to have lost all the art of team play and the teaminess throughout the country.
Satchell and Sanders, however, kept the champs in the game, and the playing of Satchell was pretty near the end of the game, on the Harlem courts. But it was Pappy Ricks who won the game. After sitting on the bench all through the contest he was rushed into the court, and he was held down with the Rens one point to the bad, and soon tied the score with a foul try. This did not last long, however, for the Paterson quinte also made a point advantage again and dropped in a beauty from the side, which gave the Rens a one point advantage, which they held on to for the closing seconds of the game. On Sunday night the Long Island Whirlwinds could not make any headway against the champions, even though they were still apparently in the bottom half and only gave a mediocre performance.
The first half ended 20 to 9, and the second half was a repetition of the first, the visitors getting nine more points while the Remi Kane team scored the game by the score of 45 to 18. The preliminary game between the Original New York Collegians and the Boys' Club of New York, the former champions, and the latter former champions, was a victory, and that game alone was well worth the admission. We would like to see these teams play again. The Collegians triumphed 49 to 42 On Tuesday night, the Mets' Mets Diamonds, 33 to 29.
The lans will have two fine games this week-end if the Renaissance get back to their old-time form, for on Monday they will have to tackle the Peterson quintet that they only defeated last week by one point, and on Sunday night the Fort Wayne club, leaders of the Fort Wayne club, defeated them twice in Fort Wayne on their last western trip.
With "Rusty" Saunders and Benny Saunders, the Cincinnati Coyotes, center, and McElwain, Sy Miller and El Sturmkiff, guards, the Rens will have their hands full and the game interesting, let alone win. They dropped their first game this season to a colored quintet when they in New England to the Philadelphia team. The New Sunday's preliminary game will be between the Metro-Diamonds and the Scholastics.

dious reactions by one of the world's most enjoyed the wallpaper.
He made the Chicago power of the basketball team, his ability to use greatness, and length and ability of experience. Chicago germinated by the savvies' teams, both his Renaissance team and his team of note, these games, in its enviable reputation to demand a guarantee of power, a situation defeated them by him holds one victim, knits, tells nothing of the Renaissance with Fat Jenkins, for cutting him win by three point formation Triangles, many of whom hold a fact which is drawn by Mr. Pratt. He follows sport and good health to be buried up, and that is how he is demanded "dismisses of the killer competition to his assistance in hitting one to be buried by the tent to be buried that he can do just to that the contrary notwithstanding when he made Mike Altoe to throw him, asSilicon when he made to Chicago and New York for which as twice as seen the Renaissance the much presser as much from Mr. Pratt could book several and, Pittsburgh or the immediate the Savvies' Savvy is the better credit. Until they then them both. Whom for them win or lose.
DID not anticipate any serious reactions by Chicago fans to my comment on the recent Western trip of the world's colored champion Renaissance team, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the wall from the Windy City as evidenced by Mr. Prattis's letter.
I can now fully appreciate the Chicago point of view, unacustomed as they are to top-notch colored basketball team. It is quite natural that they would overstress the ability or importance of their team, which undoubtedly shows future promise of greatness. The comparisons Mr. Prattis drew to show the relative strength and ability of the Savoy and Renaissance teams may sound logical to inexperienced Chicago rooters, imbued as they perhaps are with the hysteria germinated by the ballyhoo in motion teams, both press agents of the Savoy team, but to Harlemites, who are accustomed to that class teams, both amateur and professionals, it sounds like a loser's win. Renaissance team for the past few years have met almost every professional team of note in the country, winning approximately 90 per cent of these games in season and out, by virtue of which they have built up an enviable reputation as a drawing attraction, a position that enables them to demand a guarantee for their appearance commensurate with their drawing power, a situation enjoyed by the former world's champion Original Celtics.
That the Chicago Bruins defeated them by 19 points in the only game played, whereas the Savoy team holds one victory over the Bruins, 29 to 21, and lost one game by four points, tells nothing.
Credit should be given the Renaissance team, minus their peerless manager, Bob Douglas, and with Fat Jenkins on the bench at the start of the game, with an injured knee, for cutting down a lead of 11 points in the last six games, to win by three points. The colored champions have beaten the Hakonovski Vilation Triangles, Patterson and Trenton teams, all of the American League, who holds victories over the Chicago Bruins and Ft. Wayne teams, a fact cited only to show the impotency of the comparisons drawn by Mr. Pratt. Those of us in Harlem who follow sport are interested in every effort of our race, regardless of its geographical location, that places us to the front, but we do not subscribe to the old doctrine of pulling down the leading Negro to push another one up, and that is apparently what the Chicago press agents of the Savoy team have been trying to do.
Such statements as "the Renaissance are afraid to play the Savoy" "exorbitant guarantees are being demanded"; "the Renaissance only plays medicore white teams" are samples of the kind of ballyhoo Harlemites object to, and which I am in position to prove as untrue.
I stated that with a Renaissance hitting on all five the Chicago team will be buried; this was not said in ridicule, for with the Renaissance playing its game it is no disgrace to be buried by them; greater teams than the Savoy appears to be at present have met that fate, and I feel that the Renaissance of the present can do just that to the Savoy of the present, Joe Lillard and Watson to the contrary notwithstanding.
The statement about giving the Renaissance $150 and paying their way to Chicago sounds like a joke to those accustomed to basketball affairs, and emanating from Manager Al Monroe, as alleged by Prattis, he could not have been seriously inclined when he made the statement.
The Renaissance traveling to Chicago and back would lose several bookings in the vicinity of New York for which they are always in demand and for which they will receive twice as much as Manager Al Monroe offers. Then again as Chicago has seen the Renaissance team, how about let Harlem get a glimpse at the much press-agented and touted Savoy? They get perhaps twice as much from Manager Douglas as they are offering the Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, which would more than pay for their trip.
Let Manager Al Monroe name the date and I am sure Manager Douglas and Harlem will accommodate the Savoy team.
Let me add that if the Savoy is the better team we in Harlem will give them all due praise and credit. Until they have shown us this we are for the Renaissance as between them both. When the Savoy plays a team of the opposite race, we are for them win or lose, first to last.
Steam Rollers Upset Commandeurs in Big Game
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 15—The sensational march of Chick Eckert, Philadelphia Commandeur toward the top of the defense, was halted, temporarily, at least, when they met an unexpected setback here Monday night, losing to the Philadelphia Germantown, Pa. 23 to 20 before a capacity crowd at the Y. W. G. A.
The game was between two of the outstanding and most courageous teams in the city, and by virtue of their dominance, they emphasize their claim to the city title. This was their second victory to one defeat over eligible candidates. Roller split a two-game series with Briscoe, the last year's champions.
But the Coms, even in defeat proved that they are a long way from being out of the running. Yet, to be a champion, they will have to win practically all their games that remain on the schedule, whereas this seems a hard job. The Coms have dropped three games this season, and they have won five points, and one by ten points. The team has suffered from the poorest officiating imaginable this season. The Coms have received any kind of break in the rules would have been quite different.
Now take Monday's game for instance, with the score 16-16 and 11-11. You play a youngster in the maroon and gray outfit of the Commandeurs, was banished from the game via the four personal foul route. Here is the point, as only in the game twelve minutes ago, that the team scored twelve points. And Rob is not only one of the cleanest players on the squad, but has never had more than one foul called on him in no more than two minutes. But at that this was a thrilling game.

HEAVYWEIGHTS FEAR GODFREY
HEAVYWEIGHTS FEAR GODFREY
Havana Fight Off Because White Fighters Are Afraid of George
The good old practice among heavyweights of ducking George Godfrey still goes merrily on and as a result Humbert J. Fugazy's proposition on March 3 isn't going to take place. Fugazy originally had Jack Renault, Canadian boxer, signed to him but Cuban sportsman heavyweight accept him as an opponent. So the Brooklyn promoter has been doing best to secure a suitable substitute for the Canadian's place against the Leperville idol.
He approached Otto Von Porat, Knute Hansen and Johnny Riske and excused himself delightful excuses. The Norwegian had previous engagement, the Dane said he was ill and Danny Dunn, Riske's pilot, claims that John is out of town and can't be able to fight by March 3.
"It was not very surprising to me," Fugay said last week. "I have tried a long time opponent for Godfrey for a long time, and I have never yet develop a hundred different alliances when I mention his name to them. That goes for Paulino, Palinno, and most of the others. Paulino the says he will never allow the Spanish to fight Godfrey again.
In my opinion Godfrey is the world's best heavyweight and I guess his biggest weights feel the same way about themselves. That is, they do in their hearts, but not on the surface."
Chevaliers Defeat Sigma
The Les Chevalliers defeated the powerful Phi Beta Sigma team in a game on Friday evening, February 5, at the game in court in Harlem. The game was hard fought with first one and then the lead. The lead, Drain played an excellent, defensive losers, registering a total of twenty-eight points. Les Chevalliers will play during the latter part of March to make the speedy Easton Y. M. C.

You'll get a jag of jubilance out of that intoxicating number. And when you're all flushed up over that one, just play the other side. It's "How Long Baby" ... Some baby!

"Blackbirds" Shows Change in Negro Life in America
THEIRE seems to be a difference in opinion between critics of the drama and the professional playgoer over the important question of what constitutes Negro art. As the producer birds' whistle, when he sees its eleventh month, Hendayh. I believe I am in motion to settle the most point, in much as considerable on this score has been printed in the metropolitan press regarding this situation from time to time.
Wherever a Negro musical extravaganza is brought to town and it doesn't show the Ethiopian in the settings and song background that is supposed to be essentially his by birthright, the critics assert the Negro is invading Cuscan territory and is in the ground. And the Africans' has been no exegete to the rule. Despite the quality of its entertainment and the fact that playgoers have found it much to their liking, critics still express disapproval over the modern settings, lighting effects and costumes in the play, and their invariably that it isn't strictly Negro.
Well, let's see. The theatre has made great strides in the last twenty-five years. There was a time when it was considered good drama for actors to talk cut out to themselves tingles and lipping by real men and lice, and really amateurish. Even plays are written differently today than a quarter of a century ago. Not only that, but the plays themselves have improved with the times. Modern inventions have completely organized life and the Negro has naturally been reorganized along with white folks.
There was a time when all that was expected of the Negro actor was to make funny faces. The more he couldug, the greater a comedian he was considered. His background invariably was either a cuttontield plantation of That is where he put him to be living or him any place else seriously was nothing short of theatrical suicide. And yet, despite the fact that art has entered the life of the Negro actor and the fact that untouched thousands have deserted their southern homes for life in the large cities, still expect the Ethiopian in the theatre to present a picture of plausion life.
I have been watching the evolution of the Ethiopian theatre for almost twenty years. For the last eight years I have been producing Negro revues and musical comedies. I know for a fact that life's perspective has changed for the Negro. He thinks and acts like he lives lines set down by he in his brethren, his film theatre has emerged from the stage not only has the Negro theatre produced real artists, not mugging stars of years ago, but its songs, music, scene background, skits and lighting are all artistically modern. "Blackbirds" is an imitator of Caucasian shows only in point of security and mechanical equipment that is used universally in Russia, France, England, Russia. In point of mechanical equipment it is essential Ethiopian modern and up to the minute
It is rather surprising that those who make dramatic criticism their study should be the first to let go unrecognized the tremendous changes taking place in the national existence of the Negro. He has assimilated what he wrote to what he had to offer to the Negro in settings other than he has grown accustomed to in real life, or to give him material foreign to his present existence, would be like presenting Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" in a night club setting, with a jazz band to add to the unreality of the scene. It seems to me that they have recognized the metamorphosis that has marked Negro art in America. They are, after all, the final judge, and if they find "blackbirds" realistic, if they feel we are presenting the Negro as he is today, we have gone a long way to overcome the prejudice that has hindered him, namely, the Negro actor is only at home in the theatre when he sings of Dibble or is picking cotton on a plantation.

Although Bledsoe is best known for his remarkable baritone voice, both on the musical comedy and concert stage, he is a composer of no mean ability and began his career as a pianist. He has written several spirituals and folk songs which have enjoyed wide popularity. He complements the production of the Bledsoe opera have been completed and its presentation awaits only the end of the long run of "Show Boat." In the meantime he is scheduled to appear in several concerts here.

At Harlem Theatres
- By OBSERVER
AT THE LINCOLN
The Lincoln Theatre celebrated its first week under the management of Frank Schiffman by giving its patrons the best show which has played at that theatre in years. Banging hammers, intricate drills and the presence of dozens of mechanics during the past few days told the patrons of the theatre and the hundreds who pass there daily that something unusual was going on. From the new painted doors, the spacious stage and the attractive stage illumination, there was an atmosphere which was new, inviting, invigorating. And when the show started promptly at 1:30 the audience sensed that a new era had dawned in the theatre. The stage program at the Lincoln Theatre this week is Radio Follies, starring Butterbeers and Susie. This popular pair of entertainers have not appeared at the Lincoln Theatre for many years. The revue which Butterbeers starred in in which they have ever appeared and one of the best seen in this city.
The photophy part of the program included as its feature "Sail of Singapore," a melodrama of the underworld life of San Francisco and China. Phyllis Haver is the star, emulating the role of a woman of the streets whose soul is purified through the love of a little homeless waff.
The Lincoln Next Week
Jack Johnson, one of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen, will be at the head of a revue created by Leonard Harper. Since his recent appearance on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre Johnson has appeared in some of his most memorable roles and has been hailed as a great attraction. He has changed his act as so as to demonstrate some of the knockout blows in his famous ring battles. He will also tell some secrets of the prize ring which the world thought were billed as the greatest show. The revue in which Johnson is being starred is called "Crazy Rhythm Blues." It is the greatest of Harper's creations. The feature act in this revue is Al Moore and Freddie Washington, who have just returned from a tour of the capitals of Europe, where they were among the world's greatest dancers. The feature picture will be "Outcast," starring Corinne Griffith.
AT THE LAFAYETTE
The latest of the Vilaphone talking melodramas, "Tenderloin," opened a week's engagement before a record audience at the Eafayette Theatre yesterday. This is not only the latest but also by far the greatest of the talkers, who have found such favor with theatre-goers. Delores Costello and Conrad Nagel are the stars of "Tenderloin." It is a story of the underworld den of New York-its bootleggers, ht-jackers and its gunmen. It is by far more thrilling than "State Street Sadie." The stage part of the program offers Quintard Miller and Marcus Slayer the role of the rogue "Golden Gate Follicle." The former Dixie Four, Margaret Sims, Amon Davis, Emma Hawkins, Marcus Slayer and Billy McLaren are part of the cast of forty-five. The music is rendered by
a jazz band which has until recently
Tracerado Night Club of Los Angeles.
The Lafayette Next Week
Another talking picture sensation will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week in addition to an unusually fine stage program.
The texture picture will be "The Lion in the Lion's Mane," a famous actor, Lionel Barrymore, and May McAvoy, who will be remembered for her work in the talking picture "The Terror."
The stage revue will be "Spanish Sauce and Spices." This will be one of the most unique and enjoyable stage offerings in city. It will be presented by a cost of sixty- half of whom are said to be Spanish.
AT THE ALHAMBRA
There is abundant reason for the enthusiasm of the audiences at the Alambra this week. The drama, "Monster or Man?" is a production so weird and so tremendously exciting that many people sit breathless until the finish, and then the applause is a tumult. As the Monster, a soulless thing in human form, created by a madman hiding in the great sewers of Paris, Barrington Carter plays a role that perhaps no one but Lon Chaney could duplicate. The madman, plotting his gruesome revenge for years of imprisonment on Davenport Island, played by George Randolph, and his equally crauged Stuale Sutton. An adventurous American youth, just out of the army, as played by Ted Blackmon, lends a lighter touch to this strange drama of the Paris underworld. "Magic Melody," the musical comedy affair, is unusually gay and full of spontaneous wit and humor. The Night Hawk Band, with Edgar Hayes directing outfits itself in its stage appearance.
There's a presentation of new features and a quick medley of recent Alhambra hits—sing, dancing and fun—involving the legendary Lloyd Lock, Young Alma, Travis, M. mda Randolph, Jachee Young, Will Bryant and many others. This picture feature of the triple program has Harry Carey as star in "Good Men and True."
The Alhambra Next Week
A tale of the lazy South Sea Islands is the basis of the Alhambra drama for next week. "Passion's Playground" tells of a witching vampire who has lured a father, and then seeks to ensnare the son with her siren wives. But she doesn't succeed, for the father, roused to a consciousness of the situation, the enterprising tropic gold-disger. "Wedding Dells" furnishes the lighter portion of the Alhambra program. An up-to-the-minute dancing wedding is promised as a unique novelty. "Mata Hurl, the Red Dancer," the picture feature, tells of the romantic life of the Oriental girl who betrayed state and military secrets in the World War II for her activities as a spy with her life.

Bill After a Record?
Bill Robinson, known to the world of the theatre in Europe and America as "bojangles" is said to be going after another record. Bill has piled up quite a few as an athlete and a dancer, but it is being noised around Harlem that it is most likely that an aeroplane will be placed at his disposal on next Wednesday night in an attempt to make a record dash to Philadelphia to appear at the head of the bill at the midnight show featuring a number of well known stars at the Gibson Theatre.
Although arrangements have already been made for the well known dancer to leave New York in record time for Philadelphia, rumor says that if negotiations are completed in time it will be an aeroplane leaving Newark, N. J., that will carry Robinson to Philadelphia instead of a train. If this really comes to pass it will be the first time in this country that a colored actor has been carried by aeroplane to fill an engagement after a regular performance on Broadway.
round, will be an extra added feature all week. They have been reissued for the benefit of the new generation and the Alhambra shows them for the first time in New York after the Broadway Theatre.
Morgan College Scores
Morgan College Dramatic Club of Baltimore made its brave invasion of New York last Friday with its midnight performance, of three one-act plays at the Alhambra Theatre, which Richardson's inoedrama, "The House of the Richards," the program followed by Paul Green, the actor "The Man Who Died at 12 O'Clock," and the farce, "Sirlock Benes," by Prof. Randolph Edmonds, director of the dramatic department of Morgan College, closed the enjoyable program. The audience included a great number of prominent people of Harlem and downtown, and the efforts of the young college people evoked enthusiastic applause. Prof. Edwards, who directed the tour, was much pleased, and it is likely that the club will present another performance at the Alhambra in a few months.
AT THE RENAISSANCE
At the Renaissance Theatre, Thursday and Friday, Clara Blow, in "Three Week Ends," will be the attraction. This is a story of blackmail, in a nice way, of course, that gives that little star, Clara Blow, an excellent opportunity to show her rare ability. It comes comedy and melodrama in a passing. Over the week-end, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, "Why Girls Go Wrong" from the sensational story, "Youth Astray," comes to the Renaissance Theatre. Here will be seen a sensational love drama, dealing in a daring and startling way with the present day problem of unfettered youth. Passion and pathos abound in this story of the girl who was her destruction by the sham of modern society, the present day youth's fault, or is it criminal parental neglect? See the picture, enjoy a fine screen spectacle, and get the answer for yourself.

A recent report from Germany states that Cardwell Cook, a young American dancer of Kuness City, Mo., died a few days ago on the stage while doing his turn. Young Cook, who had been in Germany for some time with his well-known cousin, Louis Douglas, created somewhat enchanting with his dancing. But his dancing is that it was while he was doing his clever new drops in dancing that he sank to the floor and never rose again. He was a nephew of the well-known Will Marion Cook and his father is one of Kansas City's foremost educators.

artistic elements necessary to grasp the proper conception to aid in the interpreting of songs of merit. The piano compositions of Miss Talley were presented in her usual individual characterization. Without being unduly severe, we missed the traditional atmosphere of the military march of Schubert-Tausz—probably due to the instrument. Miss Talley was at her best in the Chopin "Nocturne in F Sharp," in which she reached a high poetic level. The singers were greatly aided by Miss Talley's accompaniments.

Three Artists Appear
In Grace Church Recital
A musicale was given at Grace
Congregational Church on Sunday
afternoon. The artists were: Rollin
Smith, barkone, and the understudy
of Jules Bledsoe in "Showboat;" J.
Wardo Brown of the same company,
oror; and Sonoma Talley, well-
known pianist. It is hardly neces-
sary to speak of Miss Talley's work,
many readers will remember her as
being one of the Damrosch Insti-
tute's honored students.
Bollin Smith satisfied his hearers with a promising artistry. His powerful voice was imbued with temperament, though the quality of the upper range became unpleasant at times because of an apparent tremolo. In addition to programmed humbers, Mr. Smith sang with great force and power Ephraham's "Lament," from the Negro opera "Voo-doo" by Lawrence H. Freeman. Mr. Freeman almost gave musical New York a shock with his ill-fated voo-doo opera.
Of the five numbers sung by J. Mardo, we feel the last two did not elude his grasp. Concert singers are many, but few possess the essential

Gloria Adele
Program Disappointing
Mount Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church presented Miss Gloria Adele, "famous operatic coloratura soprano," assisted by her artist student, Ramon E. Rodriguez, tenor, on Monday evening, Feb. 11.
The program comprised songs of every description, with languages specified but composers unnamed, an inexcusable error in program construction.
Those who attended the concert, on reading the pretentious claims as stated on the program of the newly discovered "Gloria Adele bellike tone," were disappointed. In spite of Miss Adele's sincerity, we feel there has not been any new discovery or improvement over the standard principles of singing.
Miss Adele's tones in her upper register were thin and her coloratura passages were inaccurate and weak. Her technique and straightwardness of style lacked refinement necessary for the proper interpretive characterizations of the compositions.
The assisting artist, Ramon Rodríguez, possessed a sweet tenor voice, but had neither breath support nor variety of tone production essential to portray the varied moods of the compositions. His singing was confined entirely to that of a mezzo voic quality. The artistry of the accompanist, Professor A. Gularo, "former Metropolitan Opera master," was of the same level as that of the singer.
Ass'n of Musicians To Sponsor Recital
The New York branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians is presenting Andrades Lhndsay and Lydia Mason in a two-piano recital Sunday afternoon, Feb. 24, at Imperial Auditorium, 160 West 129th street at 3:30. These two well-known 'musicians have consented to combine their talent for an afternoon in the interest of good music.
Two-Piano Recital
Carrie Burble Overton and Beryl Paul Outerbridge are to appear in a two-piano recital at Landay Hall, Forty-second street and Sixth avenue. Monday evening. Feb. 25 at 8:30 o'clock. Leon Johnson, tenor, accompanied by Lydia Mason, will assist.
CHICAGO CRITICS PRAISE
ABBIE MITCHELL RECITA1
CHICAGO. Feb. 18—Prolonged applause, accompanied by the stamping of feet and the shrill shrieks of criptured listeners, was the unusual tribute paled here Sunday afternoon to Abble Mitchell, soprano who appeared in recital at Kimball Hall. It marked the first time she had sung in recital in Chicago. Beulah Mitchell Hill, music editor of the Chicago Bee; Karleton Hackett critic of the Chicago Daily Post; Herman DeVries of the Chicago Evening American, and Maurice Rosenfeld, the Chicago Dally New critic, wrote praisily of her debut.

New World Dancers
Interpret Johnson Poem
BY FRANKYE A. DIXON.
A group of dancers, collectively named the New World Dancers, was presented under the direction of Frances Leber, a disciple of the late English dancer and teacher, Bird Lawson, at the Gallo Theatre on Sunday evening.
James Weldon Johnson's contribution to the program was the most outstanding and impressive number. It conformed to the artistic conception and expressive technique of the dancers.
The poem, "Go Down Death"—Go down, death, death, down to Savannah, Georgia, and get Sister Caroline," was title of this interpretive number. Here no music was played, the poem being effectively recited on one side of the stage by the author to the rhythmic movements of the dancers that portrayed the sequential moods of the poem. This version was easily the most impressive of the entire group.
The fusion of the two senses, hearing and seeing, brought out all the vital elements of the poem. After tremendous applause, Mr. Johnson courteously responded to his appreciative audience by reciting his well-known poem, "The Creation."

WHEREVER Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees."
Douglass Would Fight For Rights With Vote
Many white business houses in Harlem have pointedly stated they would not even entertain the thought of employing colored workers in their establishments, Channing H. Tobias, secretary of colored work of the Y. M. C. A., told an audience Sunday at Lincoln-Douglass memorial services conducted by the Harlem Registration League at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 52 West 132d street.
The speaker urged the power of the ballot as the most effective means of getting economic justice. He declared Douglass would promote such a program if alive today. Other speakers were Attorney Lamar Perkins, Samuel F. Holman, president of the league, and Mrs. Rosa H. Lampkin.
Hugh Masterson read Lincoln's Gettysburg address and musical numbers were given by Mesdames Mattle E. Williams and Helen Talbert. Walter E. Handy was master of ceremonies and Stephen S. Dix headed the program committee.

Mr. Schomburg took with him a green leather bound album to be presented to Charles S.

In it are the autographs of the persons who attended a farewell banquet given in Mr. Johnson's honor at Cafe Boulevard last September, letters and telegrams received from persons who could not be present then, and the newspaper accounts of the banquet.

Lack of Home Training Responsible for Much Crime

County Judge Bernard Vause, who planned and put into effect the new probation system at the county court, told me that the cause of the increase in crime among youths under 21 was due to lack of proper training and supervision.

Douglas to Head B'klyn N.A.A.C.P.
Energetic Young Attorney to Inject New Life in Organization
On last Thursday evening the Brooklyn branch of the N. A. A. C. P. elected Stanley M. Douglas president for the ensuing year.
Although the activities of the branch have for the past two years been a lack of organizing powers and failure of co-operative effort, the election of many as heralding a new era in N. A. A. C. P. affairs in Brooklyn. Because he is known to be an energetic leader, he has already expressed his intention to general shake-up and reorganization is expected under his leadership. He has already expressed his intention to continue with its own new program such as will carry the N. A. A. C. P. formation of the city. His hope is for racial advancement on all its frontiers, and not merely in the department of segregation and discrimination.
It is also expected that Mr. Douglas will ally with the branch many of the most widely known and influential strength leaders in leadership and organizing efficiency have been tested and proved to be most effective and indispensable. The new president is an attorney who is well known in the social circles of both Brooklyn and New York, and is constantly identified with those movements that aid in community welfare such as this one, the Presbyterian Church and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.

Harten Repeats First Sermon Here
"What the Devil Do You Want" Packs Church Thursday Night

Harten, pastor Holy Trinity Baptist Church, demonstrated his ability to attract crowds under any and all conditions when a large number of people gathered to hear him Thursday night, February 7, preach the first sermon that he preached at Trinity seven years ago. In the congregation were religious leaders, as some of Brooklyn's leading educators. They stated the sermon was well prepared and well delivered. Rev.

superior when it comes to attracting and holding large crowds.
A year ago last January this well-known preacher in a revival conducted in New Brunswick, N. J., at the Invitation of Dr. C. C. Weathers, preached to the Governor of New Jersey, Mayor of New Brunswick and the Dean of Theology of Rutgers University, as well as to more than fourscore white students from the various schools and colleges in New Brunswick and a large number of the leading white citizens. During this revival there was no church edifice available large enough to accommodate the crowds and, at the request of Dr. Weathers, Governor Larsen made it possible for them to secure the State armory and even this was too small.
For the past month Mr. Harten has been touring several cities and states. Men and women of all stations have flocked to hear him on the race question, just as they flock to hear him preach the gospel in Brooklyn.
In Brooklyn Dr. Harten has had such men as Ex-Mayor Hylan, while above Congressman and Seniorators, as Ex-United States Senator William Calder. They have turned out in a body to hear this naturally "gifted prince of preachers."

America’s Orgy in Haiti
JN THE SUNDAY WORLD of Feb, 10 and in the March
jasue of Plain Talk appear two articles that will make every
decent American who reads them ashamed of his country.
‘The World article is by Napoleon B. Marshall, formerly a
captain in the Fifteenth Regiment and for the past six years
a consular clerk in Haiti, The article in Plain Talk is by E.
'W. Hutter, a white man from Virginia, who, in spite of his
Southern birth and training, cannot help crying out against
the outrage of the American occupation of a black republic.
From these two independent observers we get a revolting
picture of the way Americans, while urging peace pacts
upon the world, can hound and brutalize a people to the point
of damnation.
AMERICAN RULE IN HAITI seems more like a sadistic
orgy than the benevolent and civilizing protectorate it is sup-
posed to be. It is a Satanic scene of ignorant Southern-born
marines yelling “nigger!” and shooting or jailing any Haitian
who objects; of drunken American officers and their equally
drunken wives noisily brawling, carousing and fist-fighting;
of “dainty” specimens of America’s white womanhood driv-
ing their cars headlong into crowds of Haitian peasants and
laughing wildly ae women and children ate knocked overs
of marines shcoting at the statues of Haiti’s great men; of
a savage determination to stamp out with blood and lyst
‘every spark of Haitian manhood. - :
THE POLITICAL EFFECTS of American rule are ‘as
bad as the physical. The constitution of Haiti is treated ‘as
if it did not exist. According to the Haitian constitution the
Haitian puppet who occupies the presidential palace with »
bodyguard of marines:is not even eligible to the presidency
of Haiti. The Haitians are given no choice in the election of
their officials, political parades of the opposition are a criminal
offense, and free speech is dead. Five editors out of six
have been imprisoned and their papers suppressed because
they dared object to some of the features of American oc-
cupation; and even if in a foreign country they write articles
telling the truth about it they are thrown into jail the minute
they return to Haiti. Millions of dollars belonging to Haiti
have been spent without an accounting, and when auditors
were sent down from Washington the books and other rec-
ords disappeared in a mysterious fire.
‘AMERICAN OFFICIALS have pointed to the economic
- improvement of the country under their administration.
After reading Mr. Marshall's and Mr. Hutter’s articles, one
asks where it is, Roads have been built, but they lead no-
where; they are just roads, Bridges have been built in cer-
tain places against the advice of Haitian engineers and have
collapsed under the first heavy storm. The American agri-
cultural officials have done nothing to improve the’ coffee
and cotton crops and the starving peasantry have left the
rural districts. The little they have, is drained away by a
heavy tax on imports, and having fo factory system they
are compelled to import gaods. ; :
HAITIANS, HIGH AND LOW, peasants and aristocrats,
hate the Americans, and no wonder. Under Haitian rule the
peasant was exploited by the unper clasces, but not with the
venom and cruelty of the Americans; the governments were
incompetent, but they were the Haitians’ own; the Haitian
constitution was respected, though its administrators had
swift journeys to their graves; Haitian womanhood was
safe; and Haitian culture was at least the equal of any in
the Western Hemisphere. The Haitians now regret the pride
which forbade them to turn for a solution of their difficulties
to the mother country, France, from which they had won
their freedom. They realize toa late that when they asked
the United States to intervene they jumped from the frying
pan into the fire.
THE HAITIANS, however, will not be the only sufferers.
The brutalizing policy of the United States will recoil upon
itself, especially in its attempts to win the friendship of
Latin-America. Dwight Morrow may win popclerity in
Mexico, Lindbergh may make gcod-will- flights, President-
' elect Hoover may make hand-shaking tours; but as long as
this Haitian situation persists, and long afterward, Latin-
America will distrust this country. Personal favor, hand-
shaking and flying machines, what are they worth in the face
of such political, social and cconomic debauchery as prevails
in Haiti? Only a cemnlete‘reversal of ite course in Haiti
can square the United States with Latin-America.

Liity Langtry
ONE OF THE MOST famous women of the nineteenth
century dicd last week at Monte Carlo. She was Lily Langtry,
beautiful and fascinating as Venus, a charmer of princes and
ruiner of millionaires, who drove men to rapture and then to
insanity or suicide. For her favor brilliant men were ready
to throw away family, fortune and position. But there was
- man who did not lose his head over her, and he was a
legro.
HE WAS AN AFRICAN PRINCE on a visit to England.
King Edward, then the Prince of Wales, entertained him
and appointed Lily Langtry to entertain him further. She
plied all the arts that had taken so many white men by storm
and the black man was delighted. Searching his mind for the
highest compliment he could pay her, he finally burst out:

Te United States Senate,
during the past few
years, has resolved itself into
an inquisitorial burean to pry
into the personal and official

Aspirant in the higher types af ser-

‘The Negro politician has been ait

in the immediate or eatly future.
It fs true that we can say that all

As to the future of the Negro,
he thinks that those whites who
show so much interest in Negroes
now are going to lose it as the Ne-

Speaking of the continued pres-

quotes De Tocqueville, who wrote
in 1835: “The Negro race will
never leave the shores of the

passions and vices of Europe
caused him to land... The
destiny of the Negroes is in some
way bound up with that of the

WRITE this article with the hope that these few remarks
I may be a means of bringing about! a more understanding
relationship between tie physician and the public. Often
you hear such common remarks as “Dr. So and So killed my
baby,” “If I hadn't called in Dr. X I would have been dead,”
“I went to Dr. ¥ and he made me worse,” “Since Dr. M. took
out my tonsils I haven't been able to see properly."
‘The doctor, like any other indi.
vidual, needs rest, but little consia-
eration is given him In this regard.
‘Many a night call could be avolded
Af more people would bear this in
mind. Some cases do warrant im.
mediate attention at night and
should be seen.. If your physician,
for a great many reasons, J unable
to come, the associate he will send
should be satisfactory in an emery-
ency. If wour femily doctor sees
that you get a doctor in a hurry
when he is unable to come, he is
still rendering good service,
Don’t call several doctors at once,
but wait for the one who has prom-
ised to. come, Many s doctor has
gone out of @ warm bed to find no
response or even common courtesy
on a case where he was not the
first one to arrive.
AN physicians are required to
spend many years acquiring the
fundamentals of a medical educa«
tion, and even after years of ex.
perience the profession feels that st
‘still has much to learn. On the
other hand, we find daily that
neighbors and friends profess to
know more about a given case than
the physician in charge, Don't in-
terfere with the conduct of a case
unless the man ‘n charge has been
consulted. Many en acute abdomen
has been made worse by this sort
of meddling. .
Until the public realizes that the
treatment of disease is no easy
task, and that co-operation and
confidence go a long way in help-
ing your physician to give the very
best within him, 6o\long will these
‘unpleasant experiences last.
