J. Hessel, 230 West 140th street; also three white men who gave their names as Samuel Arnowitz, 620 West 12d street; Abraham "Archie" Elchin, 70 West 141st street, and Louis Grable, 170 Dolancey street. In the portable garage the officers and they found 440 bottles of liquor, a one-gallon jug of whiskey, 65 five-ounce cans of alcohol and 32 gallons of wine. At the Fifth avenue place 81 bottles of liquor were found, while at the 135th street speakeyake 245 bottles of liquor were confiscated.

Holstein Kidnapping Case Begins Tuesday Charged with kidnapping Casper Holstein, 111 West 136th street, clubman and head of Monarch Lodge of Lilks. Michael Bernstein, 29, 1128 Lebanon street, Bronx, will face trial next Tuesday in General Sessions. Date for the trial was set last Tuesday when Assistant District Attorney Aurelio consented to an adjournment after a conference with James D. C. Murray, white, Bernstein's attorney. The Holstein abduction created considerable comment throughout the city and nation last September when the clubman was supposedly held for $50,000 ransom. Four other men arrested at the time of the disappearance were released Oct. 1, when evidence against them proved insufficient. MOSES FOUND GUILTY OF LARCENY BY COURT JURY John William Moses, editor of the American and West. Indian News. 230 West 135th street, was convicted of grand larceny Wednesday in General Sessions. The conviction grew out of charges made by Mrs. Olive Norman, 22, 269 West 129th street, who declared Mr. Moses inappropriated $1,000 she had given him to purchase a house. The jury returned a verdict of first degree larceny with a recommendation for mercy. Sentence was to be imposed today.

Week-end altercations brought four persons to Heights Court Sunday morning before Magistrate Goodman on charges of felonious assault. Albert Cavell, 33, 514 Lenox avenue, was arraigned on complaint of Frank Cole, 246 East 131st street, and held in $1,000 ball for further hearing. Jack White, 30, 633 Lenox avenue, was arrested on complaint of Henry Brown, 230 West 147th street, and held without ball for further hearing. Ernest Comming, 22, 304 West 141st street, was held in $1,000 ball for a further hearing on complaint of Ralph Jerry, 160 West 141st street, and Andrew Simpson, 33, 610 Academy street, accused of assaulting Charles Waltens, 111 West 134th street, was held without ball for a further hearing. Comming was dismissed. James Johnson, 28, 44 West 139th street, was arraigned on a similar charge Monday before Magistrate Smith and held in $500 ball for a further hearing today. Bessie Miller, 27, 209 West 139th street, accused Johnson of beating her, causing her to suffer contusions of the abdomen and a fractured nose. Johnson said that he only shoved her during an argument and that she fell and fractured her nose on a hard object, the police reported. Miss Miller was treated at Harlem Hospital by Dr. Kaplan. She told her story to Detective Connelly of the West 135th street station, who arrested Johnson. The case was adjourned to enable her to get witnesses. A plea of self-defense won a dismissal for Eugene Edward, 20, 38 West 137th street, on a charge of felonious assault Monday before Magistrate Smith in Heights Court when the complainant, Randolph Tarnar, 24, 108 West 141st street, admitted that he threatened to hit Edward with a chair during an argument in a night club, formerly Happy Rhone's. 652 Lenox avenue, about 4 o'clock Monday morning. Edward admitted cutting Tarnar on the arm, shoulder and head, causing stitches to be taken in the wounds at Harlem Hospital. SEVENTEEN MINISTERS BACK EDWARD A. JOHNSON Seventeen pastors, heading churches with total memberships of more than 20,000, have signed a letter of endorsement of Edward A. Johnson, logical candidate for Congressman from the Twenty-first district. The letter has been sent to Assembly district leaders of the Congressional district. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Elevator Operator Hero of Flea Circus Building Fire PREACHER'S SON HANGS HIMSELF IN BATHROOM Holland Freed in Medical Law Case Special Sessions Rules on Evidence Against Chiropractor J. Ackman Holland, chiropractor, with offices at 2335 Seventh avenue, was freed of charges of practicing medicine without a license Monday in Special Sessions. Following the appearance of two witnesses for the Attorney-General's office, Justices Direnzo, Vorhees and Nolan ruled favorably on a motion by William Lambert, white, 11 West Forty-second street, Holland's counsel. Lambert contended that the State's evidence showed no connection between the sign on the office and the practitioner. Miss Viola Platt of the State Department of Education testified that she observed the sign outside and had a photograph taken without seeing or questioning Holland. Dr. Maurice Rosen of the State Education office had his testimony of a conversation of Holland rejected upon motion of the defense. Holland never took the stand. Assistant Attorney-General Ullman prosecuted the case. John Sydney de Bourg, 70, 56 West 129th street, will face trial April 5 on the same charge. Acquits Youth in Friend's Slaying William Fitzgerald Freed in Stabbing by General Sessions Jury A 20-year-old youth escaped a possible death sentence recently in General Sessions when a jury returned a verdict of not guilty after two and a half hours of deliberation. The freed man was William Fitzgerald, former post office driver, who lives with his wife and child at 2891 Eighth avenue. Fitzgerald was charged with stabbing his friend, LeRoy Smith, 20, 2791 Eighth avenue, to death Jan. 17 at 117 West 137th street, following the defendant's attempt to make a date with the deceased's sweetheart, Catherine Jones, 19, who is now confined in an institution. The case was tried before Judge Charles C. Nott, with Henry A. Lowenberg, white, 233 West Forty-second street, defending Fitzgerald. Lowenberg produced evidence to show that it was impossible for any person to witness the actual assault from the second story of the West 137th street address where the fatal stabbing occurred. PROBABLY SAVED LIVES OF AT LEAST 20 SLEEPING TENANTS Walter Ballard, a Harlemite, Barely Escaped Suffocation While Rescuing Former White Jockey-Flea Circus on First Floor The lives of at least twenty persons were saved from a horrible death in a $100,000 apartment house fire by Walter Ballard, 29, 320 St. Nicholas avenue, an elevator operator at the Murray Apartments, 228-32 West Forty-second street, Sunday, shortly after the noon hour, at which time most of the tenants were still sleeping. The tenants whom Ballard saved were profuse in their gratitude and praise of his modest heroism. Rev.

The tragedy occurred in the home of the Rev. Mr. Brown at 428 St. Nicholas avenue, Tuesday morning, March 19. Murray Apartments are housed in a six-story building flanked by the Sam Harris and Liberty Theatres and also houses Huber's famous flea circus and museum of freaks on the street level.

Hilton, 356 West 135th street. The Rev. Mr. Holmes has just returned from a visit to Palestine. Brooded Over Scolding. The Rev. Mr. Brown told The Amsterdam News yesterday the full details of his son's death. "Howard had been out of work for quite some time," he said, "and I had often chastised him for finding nothing to do. On this particular morning I told him very plainly that he must make a more serious effort to find work. After scolding him he did not answer me." The minister said that during the morning his other five children—Ena, 15; Franklin, 17; Kenneth, 22; Feline, 24, and Doris, 29—left the house. He went to a store nearby to purchase some groceries, he said, and when he returned he missed seeing Howard and found the bathroom door focation while rescuing Frank McGirk, white, former jockey, who was sleeping so soundly that he did not wake up until after Ballard had brought him down to the street. Patrolman Walter A. Harrington of the West Forty-seventh street station. (Continued on Page 2.)

"I managed to get the door open without breaking the lock, and there was Howard hanging from the gas fixture, choked to death. It was a terrible and shocking sight. I cut the body down." The incident was reported to the police, and Dr. Kaplan was summoned from Harlem Hospital. The minister's son was pronounced dead on arrival. After an examination, Dr. Kaplan advanced the opinion that Brown had been suffering from some mental illness and that he was also physically sick. "That is quite plausible," said the Rev. Mr. Brown. "Although Howard never acted as though he were mentally unbalanced, it was very singular that he preferred always to remain in the house. And he was a bit erratic." Mrs. Ella Brown. Howard's mother, also mourns his loss. The dispute between George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, and Samuel L. Manning, 148 West 118th street, stage comedian, producer and former editor of the defunct West Indian Times, was brought to a close recently when the two men composed their differences out of court. Manning summoned Harris to Heights Court on a charge of criminal libel in connection with stories printed in the News which Manning said blackened his character. The News stated that Manning was wanted by the police on charges of forgery and passing bad checks. Harris depended chiefly upon Charles Foley, a white New Jersey printer to whom alleged bad checks had been given by Manning, to substantiate the stories in the News. Foley also summoned Manning to Heights Court on a charge of giving him bad checks with criminal intent, and Magistrate Well dismissed the case "without prejudice." The News printed a complete retraction of the Manning stories in its issue of March 23. NGS HROOM "Would You Wed A Colored Man?" Blanche Vogt, Parisian, Gives Answer in French Paper PARIS.—L'Intransigeant, leading Parisian evening paper, asks a pointed question each evening. In a recent issue Blanche Vogt was asked: "Would you marry a colored man?" "No." was her reply; "because I am already married and I don't wish to go to prison." "But if you were single?" "Oh, well, in that case, why should I not trust my married happiness to a colored man?" "Do white men make such excellent husbands? "It is understood that if I were to marry a colored man I'd take some precautions. My colored flance would have to court me for a long time. I would submit him to long and exacting tests—such tests at which white men usually fall. For example, I would tell him that my dot (sum of money which a French woman brings to her husband at marriage) was lost in the recent crash of the Gazette de France: that I love pearls and daffies, as well as idleness, and music, a house in the country and children. Instead of playing the comedy of sweetness, I would so act as to EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION J. FINLEY WILSON CLAIMS BRUSEAUX SOUGHT $5,000 FEE "My Record Is as Clean as a Hound's Tooth," "My Books Are Open, Let Him Investigate," Grand Exalted Ruler Asserts Declaring that Sheridan Bruseaux, head of the Keystone Detective Agency of Chicago, is "money-mad and investigation crazy," J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order, Files of the World, branded the investigation which the Chicago detective says he has just made of the L.B.P. O.E. of W. as spite work impelled by a near attempt at blackmail on the part of Bruseaux. Mr. Wilson ridiculed the entire report as sent out by the agency. P.S. Girls Figure In 'Sex Circuses' Young Woman Who Solicited Them Sent to the Workhouse In an effort to break up what is known as "sex circuses," where school girls secretly indulge in abnormal sex practices among themselves. Officer Theodore Roderick of the Children's Society arrested Gertrude Gardner, 21, 112 West 135th street, in front of P. S. 136, at 136th street and Edgecombe avenue, Thursday morning, on a charge of disorderly conduct. The officer declared that Miss Gardner was soliciting school girls for immoral purposes. She pleaded guilty and was remanded to a prison cell for further investigation when arraigned before Magistrate Goodman in Heights Court the same day. Officer Roderick told a reporter of The Amsterdam News that sex conditions among school girls is alarming and disgusting. It is the practice, he said, of a group of girls of abnormal sex habits to wait outside the school and make dates with girl students. The female party would then go to the home of one of the girls whose parents or relatives were not at home and conduct their "sex circus," the officer explained. Following the report of a probation officer's investigation, Miss Gardner was sentenced to the workhouse for thirty days by Magistrate Goodman in Heights Court Saturday. Frank Wan Lee, a Chinese, 3816 Mott street, was shot in the left side of the groin during an altercation with an unknown colored man at about half past three yesterday morning at 138th street and Lenox avenue. His assailant escaped and Lee was removed to Harlem Hospital by Dr. Gandi. make him mistrust my character like a savage mare. "In short, all that the white flance considers as very vexatious I would apply to my colored flance. If he passed these tests I would place my pale hand in his colored one and let him conduct me to the altar, in spite of all else. "An old schoolmate of mine married, some five years ago, a fine mulatto. She has already four fine children. She is president of the Club of Happily Married Women. "One day while joking with her I asked: 'Have you ever thought of going around with another man sometimes?' "No.' she replied, 'there are some white men who stand for that sort of thing; but my husband, if he knew, is capable of tearing the nails from my toes one by one.' Chinaman Shot According to the grand exalted ruler, a white man, named Williams, hired Brusseaux to make an investigation of the Gary, Ind., trouble caused by the segregation of colored school children in the schools. After he had made the investigation in Gary, says Wilson, the Chicago sleuth wanted the grand lodge to give him $5,000. Wilson says he did not hire him, and refused to pay one cent. That appears to be the beginning of Brusseaux's animosity, believes the man who has held the head of Elkdom for six years. Says His Books Are Open. "My record is as clean as a hound's tooth. This chap can investigate me from now until judgment. My books are open. Let him come." He takes a fling at those who are opposed to him, particularly the opposition that appears in this city, and in typical Wilson manner predicts that Atlantide City will be just the same for him as was Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Richmond. "All of those second story men, kidnappers, number backers, deporters and would-be salary donors will be like they always are, on the outside looking in, while we drive on in the victory machine crushing all these little disturbing elements." Referring again to Brusseaux who, claims Wilson, is making an unauthorized investigation for spite work, the grand exalted ruler says that the Chicago operator tried to show him that the Gary investigation would bring to Mr. Wilson $10,000 worth of publicity and on that score the grand lodge ought to give to Brusseaux the $5,000. But this money the grand lodge never will pay, says the head of the order, so long as he remains grand exalted ruler. Brusseaux's Report. A report of Brusseaux's investigation, authority for which is not definite, follows: The reports made at the grand lodge in New York in 1927 showed that there were 691 local lodges scattered over forty states and nine foreign countries, with possibly 64 of the 691 unfinancial with the grand lodge. Nothwithstanding that there were almost a hundred new lodges organized that year, there was a falling off or shrinkage of about 20 per cent in the number of financial members. To be exact, after the organization of 86 new lodges that year, the membership fell from 82,609 to 73,000. This would seem to indicate a lack of good management on the part of the grand lodge officer or officers charged with the responsibility of keeping up interest in and developing local organizations. Financial Shrinkage. Your investigator finds that when the grand lodge met in Cleveland in August of 1926 the balance of cash on hand was $112,637.53 and the cash balance on hand one year later in August, 1927, when the grand lodge met in New York was $110,176.93. There was $2,660.60 less in the (Continued on Page 2) Bruseaux's Report Financial Shrinkage.

If, to this shortage, there be added $1,069.26, a special fund collected for the Mississippi flood sufferers but which was not disbursed, you will find that the general funds were $3,729.86 less at the New York grand lodge than at the Cleveland grand lodge session. Bruseaux's Summary. After a lengthy discussion, Brusseux arrives at the following summary: 1. While there seems to be poor management and what amounts to extravagant and reckless expenditure of the order's funds, I find no down right dishonesty or misappropriation of money on the part of any grand lodge officer. 2. The most alarming situation is the falling of in membership and cash that was number of lodges continue to increase. 3. It seems that the grand exalted ruler and the grand legal advisor have been negligent in looking after the interest of the order in so far as the failure of the Wage Farmers' Savings Bank of Savannah has occurred the grand lodge lost $5,731.46 in this bank failure; and, while other depositors of the defunct bank have brought autos against the directors and have been awarded judgments sufficient to cover their losses, I have been unable to find that the persons in charge of the lodge have covered the money lost by the grand lodge of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. 4. The expense voucher of the grand exalted ruler does not show in detail any of the items for which the grand exalted ruler spends the money of the grand lodge. 5. The officers paid are entirely too large for the work done by the officers receiving them. 6. The Civil Liberties Commission, operated at a cost of more than a thousand dollars per year, seems to show no purpose for its existence. 7. It appears that by reason of the money collected from local lodges visited by the grand exalted ruler a hardship is worked on the weaker lodges. 8. While there has been some kind of an audit conducted each year, it appears that these audits have been done by members of the grand lodge. I could find no record showing that the books, papers and vouchers have ever been audited by a certified public accountant. Salaries Paid. That the grand legal advisor is paid; yet, when any real important work is to be done for the order, outside legal talent is always hired. That three grand auditors who meet but once a year are paid $400 each per year for what it appears is about eight or ten days' work during the year. That the grand chaplain is paid $25 per month. His duties consist in opening each grand lodge session once a year with prayer and occasionally dismissing it with prayer. This is at the rate of about $150 per hour for the work performed. That the grand lodge provides for seven grand trustees, and while no record of any change having been made in the charter could be found, Bruseaux claims that the number has actually been changed from seven to five. These trustees are paid a salary of $50 per month, a sum that seems entirely out of keeping with the work or service they perform. That the grand treasurer is paid a salary of $2,000 per annum. In view of the fact that the grand treasurer is not allowed any expense for office rent or clerk hire, this salary seems rather inadequate for the amount of work performed. That the grand secretary is paid $5,000 per year, and is allowed office rent of $30 per month, clerk hire for one clerk at $100 per month and clerk hire for a second clerk at $80 per month. While the salary of the secretary seems a trifle high, it would seem that this office is run on a very economical basis. That the grand exalted ruler is paid the sum of $5,000 per year. He seems to be allowed office rent and office hire, although it appears that his office work is done by his wife at home, aided at times by one of the clerks in the office of the Washington Eagle, a weekly newspaper which, Eruscaux says, belongs to Mr. Wilson. The investigator found that the expense of the office of grand exalted ruler including his salary averages SLIP COVERS MANUFACTURER'S 50% SAVING SALE UPHOLSTERY FREE Beautiful Samples of Imported and Domestic Materials.

During December of 1928 the grand exalted ruler was paid $102.20 expense of attending a trustees' meeting in Detroit and $107.58 for attending an educational meeting in Chicago making a total for this office of $4,000 for five months. In addition to this money he receives. Brusseux alleges, contributions and often traveling expenses from every lodge visited by him during the year, running into the thousands of dollars. Recommendations. The investigator concludes by recommending the following: 1. A complete audit of all the books and financial affairs by a certified public accountant. 2. Amending the laws of the grand lodge, taking from the grand exalted ruler supreme power which he now holds and vesting that power in cabinet of men, with the grand exalted ruler president of the cabinet. 3. A boltition of the office of civil liberties department, or reorganization of this department in such a way that it will function for the good of the order. 4. A boltition of monthly salaries to officers who do not render service monthly and commensurate with the salary which these offices now pay. 5. A concentration on developing and building up the local organizations instead of seeking to organize new lodges and neglecting the struggling ones already in existence. 6. I heartily recommend a policy of economy such as has been urged by the Commission and such as is practiced by all safe business concerns. Elevator Operator Plays Hero's Role (Continued from Page 1.) carried another sleeping tenant to the street. In an interview with The Amsterdam News Monday night, Ballard related the story of the rescue. The day was very quiet, he said, and he had not been up in his elevator for nearly an hour when, after finishing his lunch, a passerby told him that the top of the building was on fire. He ran to the switchboard and tried in vain to rouse the tenants by ringing their telephones. He then ran through the building yelling "Fire" and pounding open all the doors of the two-room apartments, this being the only type there. As he reached the fifth floor he saw the back staircase ablaze and the thick clouds of smoke were stifling. Saves McGirk and Twenty. Meanwhile, someone turned in an alarm and Mrs. Charles Taffin, white, the owner's daughter, took over the switchboard. Patrolman Harrington had now arrived on the scene.

Open day and night, because at any moment your business, professional, or social needs may require prompt passageway. The World's gateway to You, ready to admit the visitor from near or far whose affairs are related to your own interests. The march of progress and accomplishment demands that there be immediate access everywhere. The procession that passes constantly through the telephone portal leaves far behind those few who are not in step with it. An open gateway means independence of action, opportunity, saving of time and energy. So life today is ordered, and made orderly, by telephone. Through it a host of busy men and women marshal their affairs—a host represented in the Empire State by 12,000,000 calls each day. As guardian and guide at this great gateway in this State, we are engaged in a gigantic task, the provision of adequate service for the present, and of ample facilities for the larger requirements of the future. To these enormous responsibilities the efforts of our 58,000 employees are devoted. NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY arouse him, "so I broke open the door and dragged him out of bed by the feet." He did not wake up. Ballard struggled with him down the main staircase to the street. Ballard then entered the elevator and made at least five trips to the top floors and brought down about twenty others, some of them women, who were choking with the smoke and could not see their way down the main stairway. Those on the lower floors escaped via the fire escape and main stairway. The house contains about 24 two-room apartments, Ballard said. While Ballard was making his rescues the flames spread rapidly. At the very moment the elevator drifted to a stop with his last load of passengers, the fire caused a short circuit and shut off the current. "If the car had been between floors when the power failed, we would have suffocated in the elevator shaft before anyone could reach us," Ballard said. It is estimated by the police that 5,000 people lined Forty-second street to watch the blaze, which did an estimated damage of $100,000. Miss Gene West, white, prominent actress and former Follies girl, was one of the tenants. Several other theatrical people lived there, also. The entire apartment building is unstable for what the fire did not destroy was damaged by water. Ballard said he lost a suit and overcoat of a total value of $117 when the fire destroyed the locker room on the top floor. LOSS OF JOBS ALARMS NEGROES IN CHICAGO CHIHAGO, March 25 (ANP)—Employment agency statistics show that while the employment situation has been growing better among whites, it has been rapidly growing worse among Negroes. This was made the occasion for a large luncheon conference Friday afternoon at the Appomattox Club under the auspices of the Desirable Club of the Chicago Urban League. Cellar Gas Explosion Much excitement was occasioned by an undamaging but very loud and forceful gas explosion Thursday afternoon in the cellar of 2309 Seventh avenue where Bibert Marshall, a plumber, 103 West 141st street, was fixing a leaking water pipe by the light of a candle. "Wife" Pleads Innocence Mary Schnepps, white, 21-year-old common-law wife of Seymour Irick, who is charged with shooting her mate in the apartment at 3579 Fish avenue, Bronx, pleaded not guilty to manslaughter last Tuesday in Bronx County Court before Judge Barrett.

A harrowing tale of two bold burglars who smashed the door of an apartment, beat a man and woman insensible, looted the house and set it afire, had its effect on a jury Thursday in General Sessions when Nathan Lusters, 22, and Arthur Southers, 25, 431 West Fifty-third street, were convicted of first degree burglary. Sentence will be imposed tomorrow. The minimum under the law is fifteen years. Southers, however, is expected to receive a life term because of previous convictions. Found guilty of a robbery committed after the daring burglary, he was to be sentenced Friday. Judge Mulqueen withheld sentence, however, to allow Judge Nott to impose the heavier term under the later conviction. Southers was in the tombs awaiting trial when police arrested his confederate and forced him to tell the whereabouts of his fellow.

Free Employment League Opens Quarters "More Work and Less Charity" is the slogan of the new community house opened last week by Ralph E. Dalton, white, assisted by his wife, Mrs. Dalton, at 235 Lenox avenue, where they are conducting the Free Employment League. The league has several departments, namely, educational, entertainment, hiking, cafeteria, dancing, reading room, housing and lodging. It also advocates old age pension. The league is conducted on the membership plan, charging $1 for six-month and $2 for one-year membership. This small fee entitles the member to free employment. Those not having the fee to pay will be given free employment upon recommendation of some responsible person or organization. The ten rooms above the main hall will be fitted up to accommodate thirty-five men at the rate of $1 a day for board and room, or $9 a week for three men in a room, for unemployed men only. When they obtain employment they must go elsewhere, said Mr. Dalton. Special care will be given to aged men out of work. Members who are unable to pay for room and board will be cared for on credit until they find employment. This applies strictly to worthy men, the director explained. "No help will be given drunkards and lazy bums," he added. Insurance Salesmanship. Beginning April 1, the New York Branch of Victory Life Insurance Company will conduct an intensive school of life insurance salesmanship.

DELUXE APARTMENTS REQUIRE 'BUCKS' Post-War Houses of 1,2,3 and 4 Rooms Plentiful at $42,$60,$70,$80,Respectively High Prices Asked Due to Mortgage Situation, One Landlord Holds Frigidaire and Incinerators Among New Features By THELMA E. BERLACK "Well, what do you expect?" asked Mr. Landlord when I told him the rent he asks for apartments is entirely too high. "My house is new," he said. "In it you have spacious rooms with all the modern conveniences a housewife could want. And yet you complain!" He went on to tell me that I could never imagine just how much it had cost him to put this artistically imposing structure on.....avenue. Union men had been hired to do all the work—and he had had to pay them union wages, of course. Furthermore, he said, the fact that this apartment house is in a Negro section, and is to be occupied by Negroes, makes it either impossible or unusually difficult for him to get a mortgage on the property, so he has to use what appears to be "high rents" to net him a reasonable return on his initial investment. Mr. Landlord wanted to talk to me longer, but I was anxious to find an apartment in a post-war apartment house, the rent of which could be paid by the average head of a family without a struggle or without having lodgers in the apartment. Frankly, I did not succeed! The following, however, are some of my specific findings: Holstein Court, 128 West 138th street, all apartments occupied. These two, three and four-room apartments, with kitchens, rent for $50, $65 and $75 a month, respectively. The Upton Arms, 153 West 139th street, Apt. B-57. This one room, on the top floor in a walk-up house, costs $12 a month. The tenant has to pay $15 immediately toward a month's security, and $5 a month until the complete security has been paid. The Mt. Zion Apartments. 142 to 148 West 140th street. Here two rooms rent for $58 and three for $65. Even the doubled paneled walls (done in two tones of green), cinematron in the hallway and door interviewer could not win me over. I was, however, much pleased with the in- A --- formation that the owner of the apartment house would pay a tenant 4 per cent interest every six months on the month's security required on an apartment. No. 140 Bradhurst avenue. On the fourth floor front I could have three rooms for $70. Because I told the renting agent that "my husband" (and I don't have one) is a taller, he said I'd have to put up a month's security. Had this same husband been a professional man, no security would have been exacted, he inferred. No. 357 Edgecombe avenue. After climbing up the stairs in Colonial Park to 357 Edgecombe avenue, I was more or less disappointed when the elevator man told me that there were no vacancies in this beautiful house. He did say, however, that four rooms rent for $80 a month. Imagine an "average salary" man paying that for four rooms! No. 321 Edgecombe avenue. The talk of Harlem, in the apartment line, points to the recently opened six-story elevator house on Edgecombe avenue, the Park Lincoln Apartments. From a hasty inspection, you'd feel that you were in a "palace fit for a king," and you'd surely have to have a king's gold with which to pay the rent-$72 for three rooms, $65 for two rooms. Among the several conveniences pointed out to me by a liveried doorman, conveniences I had not seen in the other apartments, were a Frigidaire and an intercommunicating telephone. My general deductions about "apartment hunting" in new houses are these: New apartment houses are not being built for the "no-bank-account" family; one to four-room apartments are more or less plentiful, but you cannot raise children in small apartments. 7TH AVENUE AT 139TH STREET 2380 Seventh Avenue Audubon 3135 NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1929 Court Frees Woman in Fatal Stabbing of Man Arrested the second time when her husband died in Bellevue Hospital, Mrs. Emma Grover, 27, 385 Lenox avenue, was discharged Thursday in Homicide Court.

Title two, King Tutt, 22, 17 West 118th street, and James Royster, 48, 1448 Fifth avenue, were arraigned Friday morning in Homicide Court before Judge MacCreary. The prosecution immediately asked for an adjournment until Monday. Tutt appeared with his face battered and swollen, presumably from a beating given him, the day before. Sawyer was found Thursday night lying on the floor of his apartment, his skull battered in by a sashweight. Six cats were standing vigil over the man and had to be driven away by Officers Holgan and Nelms of the West 123d street station. The Janitor was pronounced dead by Dr. Ashkin of Harlem Hospital. He was collector of rents for the houses at 17, 19 and 21 West 118th street, and was believed to have had a large sum of money in his possession when attacked. The slaying was discovered when tenants went to the basement to complain about lack of hot water. They found Sawyer's door locked and there was no response to their knocks. The police were then notified. The body lay in the kitchen when discovered. No money was found in the apartment and the police found blood and a few gray hairs on a stove leg. LOST FINGER, VICTIM CHARGES ASSAULT Accused of biting the finger of Mack Preston, 33, 138th street, the wound turning to blood poisoning and necessitating its amputation, Arthur Keitt, 33, 106 West 134th street, was charged with felonious assault and held in $2,500 bail for a further hearing in Helights Court today, when arraigned Monday before Magistrate Smith.

YOU WILL ENJOY DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM AS THEY ARE AMONG THE FOREMOST IN THEIR LINES. PROMOTERS OF PROSPERITY Every community has many people who may be considered Promoters of Prosperity. Some of these are well known, others less so. Some are associated with businesses that long have been recognized as leaders in the community. Others are connected with enterprises just as vital though, perhaps, less well known outside the particular district in which these men and their businesses are found. To familiarize the people of Harlem with these "Promoters of Prosperity" who are not quite as well known as they deserve to be, these pages have been arranged and classified by the service rendered. All the firms and people listed here deserve the support of the citizens of Harlem, because they are Harlemites, first and foremost for Harlem and its future, and are ever anxious to boost whenever and wherever possible. Boosters are the wisest of business men. They are those that seem to disregard general conditions as they are reported, and operate their enterprises without fear that the sun is going to fall from the sky, that money is going to be tight, that crops are going to fail or that all the manufacturers are going to close their doors. Occasionally they may be wrong, but usually they are right. By giving the major part of their thought to service of their customers they sink their roots so deeply that they are able to pass through the severest depressions without blight. It is this kind of optimism that keeps conditions right. Harlem is fortunate in its boosters. Lack of vision and attendant inertia have been the hangnail of progress. The firms represented on these pages have an undying faith in Harlem. It is a faith born of intimate contact with facts. They know what lies under their doorsteps and are making Harlem a community worth while. The Amsterdam News is co-operating with these firms in an endeavor to place their messages of abiding faith in our city before the citizens of Harlem by printing for a number of weeks these announcements and pronouncements of principles. We know there is a brilliant future ahead of Harlem. We concede to no city the rights and privileges that are ours. We think that Harlem business should go to home industries and concerns and so urge everyone to boost Harlem with these Harlem boosters.

If you just must ride the subway, elevated or trolley during the rush hours, then you must be prepared to conceal your feelings, for you are bound to be crowded, pushed and stepped on. Your temporary discomfort, in almost any case, can be forgiven, but it goes against the grain, however, to see husky unskilled laborers—in their odorful, unclean, heavy working togs—rush into an almost empty train and take every vacant seat. Even if these men would sit up straight, as gentiemen should, you could make allowances, but so often they "hog" all available space, or squeeze into the smallest space that's vacant and then proceed to spread out by degrees. And mind you, white foreigners, upon whom we are always eager and happy to place many of our faults, are not the only offenders. Negroes are equally as guilty; in fact, your most embarrassing moment in a crowded train may be attributed to a loud talking, hard working, inconsiderate Negro laborer—and he is not always from the South—who has made up his mind to "show" white people that he is a free citizen entitled to all privileges. He succeeds in making you, the other passengers and himself uncomfortable. Suggestion: Perhaps, a first and second-class fare—similar to the system used in Paris—might help solve the problem. That is, the unskilled class might be willing to ride for the cheaper rate. T. E. B. Y. W. C. A. Notes Mrs. Elizabeth S.

The more the dough is handled and worked, the tougher and more rubbery the product becomes; hence, the beginning reputation for tough crusted plies. The following hints for making pie crust are of vital importance. If you would be successful at the start: 1. Cut in the cold fat to the dry ingredients with a light stroking motion. Do not bear down and pack the dough. 2. Alm toward adept manipulation — handling and rolling the dough as little as possible. Always roll the dough from the center out in every direction rather than roll back and forth in steam roller fashion, as this eliminates unnecessary rolling and shaping the dough as is desired for the finished crust. 3. Use cold fat (at ice box temperature) and ice water, and if possible chill the dough before rolling, as a chilled dough expands more in the oven and will be more flaky. A maximum chilling produces a maximum flakiness. 4. At the start all pie crust should be baked in a hot oven to turn the oven in the pie crust into steam, forcing the lavers of dough apart in flake formation. **Pie Crust** 1-3 cup shortening (or ¼ to ½ cup). *(Bread flour makes a flaky crust.* *pasty flour makes a crumbly crust.* "Is it possible to reform a man?" writes Elinor. It may be possible, but it's not probable. I'd rather not have the pleasure of that job. If I had to do it, 'twould be before marriage. Elinor's young man handles the truth very carelessly. If he has his choice between telling the truth and telling a lie, you can make sure it will be the latter. It will take a very long time for him to change and then it will be caused by some experience that has proved to him that lying doesn't pay. The best way to deal with a liar, as I've said before, is to avoid him. You're safer out of his presence. If there is anything that will torment you, it's a liar. It takes a liar to fight a liar.

Mix and sift the cold ingredients. Cut in the cold fat by repeatedly catching it between the edges of two knives and cutting through it, or by working it in lightly with a fork, using a stirring motion. Continue stroking the mixture with the two knives until the fat is worked into fine balls resembling the granadine and cutting through. Gradually add the cold water, mixing it in lightly with a knife or fork. Continue adding water until the dough can be shaped into a ball and handled on a lightly floured board. Divide the dough into two parts. Roll lightly to one-eighth inch thickness, rolling from the center out to keep the dough round. Do not reroll. Cream Pies. General rules for mixing all cream pies follow: 1. Sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt until thoroughly blended. Slowly stir in the hot liquid, mixing well to prevent lumps. Boll and stir on the fire until the mixture is stiff enough to pile when dropped from a spoon. Then cook over water for 15 to 20 minutes. This insures a thorough cooking of the starch and, therefore, enhances the flavor of the product. Remove from the fire.

That's a Question that every woman should ask herself when she purchases shoes, especially the woman whose purse is limited. These pretty red, green, lavender and blue shoes may be good to look at, but there's more than that to consider. Remember that you can wear colored shoes with comparatively few colored clothes. If you need a pair of new shoes and you can afford to buy only one pair, then get a serviceable color, regardless of the fact that your ensemble is red and you'd like red ones. If you can afford to buy colored shoes, be careful to buy a shade of the particular color you want, a shade that harmonizes with the rest of your costume. Most women look smart when their hat and shoes match and the rest of their costume harmonizes. It's best to avoid the most vivid red, greens and blues in shoes. Our feet are very noticeable parts of us anyhow and we don't want them to be too attractive. Avoid extremely high heels; the --- HOUSEHOLD HINTS 2 ozs. of chocolate, grated or melted.

Kiddies' Fund to Benefit by Midnight Benefit April 14 His Honor, Mayor James J. Walker, has accepted the chairmanship of a committee presenting a midnight benefit for the Harlem Children's Fresh Air Fund at the Al Jolson Theatre, 926 Seventh avenue, on April 14. The committee has enlisted the aid of a galaxy of theatrical celebrities who will offer entertainment. The proceeds of the benefit, according to Guliford M. Crawford of the Fresh Air Fund, will be used to purchase a country home for Harlem youngsters at Fishkill, Dutchess County, N. Y. The property comprises a six-room Furniture cellar and garage, barn and chicken houses. There are sixty fruit trees and space for a vegetable garden, also. Mr. Crawford stated that the property will cost $4,200. The Harlem organization already has $2,370.92 to be applied to the purchase, he declared. Stars who have signified their intention of appearing on the benefit bill are announced by Mr. Crawford Wass Alles AWs, Eddie Cantor, Bill Robison Adelaide, Johnson Choir, the S sidewell sisters of "Show Boat," Julis Bledsoe, G. Bolognii of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Helen Morgan, Emmanuel Ray and Sona Kalfaian. Emmanuel Ray is the manager of Bledsoe, is directing the benefit John E. Nail is heading the Harlem committee. Second Company of "Harlem" to Open in Detroit A Chicago company of "Harlem," the play of New York's Harlem, which is attracting considerable patronage to the Apollo Theatre, is announced by Edward A. Blatt, its producer. The second company will open for a three-week engagement at the Lafayette Theatre, Detroit, on Sunday, March 11, and then settle in the Solvyn Theatre, Chicago, for an indefinite run. Its cast is now for rehearsal under the direction of Chester Erskin, who staged the New York production. Considering the fact that "Harlem" has been running only a short time, the formation of a second company at this early stage may be looked upon as an unprecedented theatrical procedure. "Harlem" has attracted more than ordinary attention out of town, and the dramas for its exhibition in other cities have come from managers as far West as San Francisco. Thus a third company is a likely development, but not, says the producer, until a company for London and Paris has been completed. Negotiations for the latter are now under way. Substitutes for "Aunt Jemima" Miss Angelae Lawson has, for the last two weeks, been playing one of the principal roles in Florenz Ziegfeld's masterpiece, "Show Boat." Aunt Jemima, of vaudeville fame, who has been playing the part of Queenie, was suddenly forced out with throat trouble. The part is of considerable importance, both musically and historically. Miss Lawson may be remembered for her splendid work as Mrs. Peck in "Shuffle Along," in Manning's "Brown Sugar," with that beautiful number, "Too Many Parties." She is a contralto of great range and beauty. JOIN THE FILM ART PLAYERS A motion picture netting club for old and young.

At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER AT THE DOUGLAS "The Last Warning," the greatest mystery picture ever filled, comes to the Douglas on Saturday, March 30. You remember the thrills and chills of that outstanding success, "The Cat and the Cannery?" The same production abilities have combined in "The Last Warning," and they have surpassed their previous effort in the mystery field. The story is entirely different and the director, Paul Lonl, defies anyone to solve the mystery beforehand. Laura La Plante is starred. A large cast is in support. The photophy is from the stage play of the same name which ran for so long on Broadway. The story takes place in a haunted theatre. The eerie things begin to happeen; the producer raises a theatre which has been beaten five times. You are guaranteed the spookiest evening you ever spent when you see "The Last Warning." AT THE ALHAMBRA "Who Killed Ella Davenport?" is the big question in the drama of the Alhambra Players this week. A lonely country house on a wild, stormy night is the scene. There are strange rappings, screams of agony, calls for help, pistol shots, terrifying all the characters and essential servant. This part is played with great comedy effect, by the versatile Manda Randolph, who, for this one special week, is loaned by the musical comedy troupe to the Drama Players, because no one else in the world could play this particular part so well. The mystery is finally solved by the playful Murphy. That is why the play is called Murphy. That who plays Mrs. Murphy? That should remain a secret for the present—as the revelation is the greatest surprise of this surprise play. Sandy Burns, the famous "Ashes," comes on early in "Harlem Rhythm" and stays late, all of which delights his audience. George Wiltshire. Apus Browne, Johnny Lee Long, Ted Blackmon and all the girls keep the fun going. Ezgar Hayes and the Night-Hawk Band, in eccentric costumes, lead revels, during which almost every kind of dancing is done. Doris Rheubotton sings and the Sixteen Alhambra Girls, in georgeous French bourbon gowns, fill the stage with rhythmic splendor. Lillian Rich is star of the picture feature, "The Old Code," which completes the very merry triple program. The Alhambra Next Week "Mighty Like a Rose," a happy play, highly suited for Easter Week, will be the drama starting Monday at the Alhambra Theatre. It happens in the Southland. Mother love and sunshine gleam through the play, and there will be an augmented cast—some fifteen characters in all. The musical comedy affair, with its own immense cast, will be "Jungle King," the writer suspects that the monarch will be none other than "Ashes," or, to be more formal, Sandy Burns. There will be both seeking big game, but the hold humor is himself captured, and by a girl, at that Jack Dempsey's wife, Estelle Taylor, will be the star of the picture feature, "Wandering Footsteps." AT THE LAFAYETTE The Exposition Jubilee Five, Danny Small and his partner and the Reverend Sisters, all headliners in vaudeville, are appearing at the Lafayette Theatre this week. In addition to these headliners, the cast includes Bushel and Hitchcock fourteen-piece jazz band, John Vigal and Dick Conway, and the Famous Five Alzazas. All of the entertainers mentioned above, as well as the puppy and beautiful chorus, were receive with enthusiasm. And well they deserve, for, under the masterful direction of Danny Small and Clarence Robinson, the well-known and popular players are presenting as fine a bit of entertainment as one would want to see. The show is called "Syncopation" and the week is sure to see record attendance in the popular Seventh avenue theatre. With a cast of some of the ablest stars of the screen and of the legitimate stage, "On Trial," the picture at the Lafayette this week, tells a gripping story of intrigue and adventure of a murderous murder, which was unravelled in the past. The picture is made immeasurably more interesting than was, ever possible with motion pictures by the fact that all of the characters talk. The cast includes Pauline Frederick, Bert Lytell, Lois Wilson, James Herbert, Bert Tuck-Klein, Edmund Breese and little Vondell Dane, the little daughter of the man accused of the murder, creates a sensation by her testimony at her father's trial.

This production, a Fox 100 per cent all talking one, will be seen Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.

With the Cotton Club Band on the stage and Italph Cooper as his genial master of ceremonies, the new management of the Lincoln Theatre presented to its entrants the second edition of the Junior Blanket of Harlem.

On Saturday night a full dress rehearsal to invited guests will be order at the Hudson and Mr. Williams will invite a large number of Harlemites to join with his friends downtown in witnessing this rehearsal. Firmly believing that his play carriers a story which the world should see and hear, Garland Anderson has 30 years faced a great deal of discouragement but is convinced that "Appearances" will take its place on the popular plays which have had successful runs having successful runs on Broadway. "Doe Doe" Green, the only Negro in the cast, has won acclaim in every place where the show has appeared. The work of this colored comedian in a cast of fifteen has been of a high order and it is a foregone conclusion to predict that the critics will receive praise. This final wedge to appeal to popular fancy has been carefully planned cut by the author and producer of the show. After a revival in San Francisco where the show appeared for three months, it was presented in Chicago for eight weeks and thereafter tour which culminated in its arrival in this city for another showing. The Hudson Theatre is located on West 41th street and no stone is being left unturned in trying to arrest the attention of the colored people of Harlem.

DARLING MACK'S STUDIOS 150 WEST 136th STREET, NEW YORK CITY TELEPHONE BRADHURST 6459 European Notes Here we are this week, 'way in the autumn northern part of Scotland — Abraham. A very beautiful place known as the "Silver City by the Sea." It is one of Scotland's historical town, stimmed just along the North Sea. I believe the buildings are the most solid one I have ever seen and regardless of how large or small, they are made out of pure solid granite. The lakes and rocks in and around Abraham College usually hold the Kings College in perhaps the oldest of the European colleges and lightest are always taken through the fine old historical buildings which are a part of this famous institution. Another thing of great importance and which must not be overlooked in visiting Aberdeen is the tremendously large fish markets in and around the city. To visit the wharves early in the morning and see the millions of fish and cut on display in a sight never to be forgotten. The fish markets here are ad to be the largest in Europe, if not in the world. As you rules along the North Sea it is quite easy to notice the thousands of large fish kills in the water, and it is in the early hours of the morning that these nets are closed in and brought to shore filled to capacity with all sorts of fish. In this part of Scotland one notice the difference in the people, their habits, and of course, in speaking or their behavior. English is indeed a gross insult, as much up here. They are simplyrench from their heads to their teeth, and only speak the English language in English visitors or foreigners. I have also noticed in England in my travels the different dialects and language used in different parts of England. In leaving London and arriving, say fifty or sixty miles away, you are near Manchester, where they speak most Lancashire a sort of dialect that is anything but easy to understand, tiring a bit further into Ireland you run into the Irish language, which even taught in all the public schools in northern Ireland. Moving on you arrive in Scotland, where I have heard those dialects even in London it is known that the Cookey dialect is a sort of language used at all times by certain class of English people called After all England is most interesting the longer one remains in the country. I must say that Scotland's natural beauty is really a pleasure to see. The golf links are the finest in the world. In route there, along the North Sea, I'm sure there is not a twirl anywhere than the wonderful natural links, cottages and Lakes coming into Aberdeen. I have always admired the Kench people for their non-prejudiced ways towards all races, and especially in their parts. They seem to show the highest respect for a "Block Slim," as they call them. Negro music is very well known and highly appreciated. Marion Anderson, Paul Robinson, and eight of Johnstone's records are in the database. The daily press in general is the most famous of the playwrights Kitas. We are booked here in early July, and it will be a real excuse to return to such an interesting and unusual city. The internationally known team of Miles Lyles opened most successfully of the well known Victoria Palace, serving to all the London theatrical houses. They go to the Empire, Divinity, next week with the big Palace, London, to follow. A new act has been formed known Marina and Norris, Marino Bar- bieri, the clever Cuban pianist, late with the dancing team of Kent and with little Norris Smith is well known in this building, is well known at the old Drury Lane "Yorkshire" Opening at the Al- bums this week they were warmly received and should do well after a few weeks together. Hold and Carpenter are at the Town Hall, Edinburgh, this week. They are big favorites in Scotland and they play five and six weeks there three times in Aberdeen, and the management is always happy when they are booked. Hold and Vilian have returned to Limerick for a fortnight in Scotland, and their favorites in Glasgow and the back up here in early summer. T. Tinker Heath's "Dark Town Scandal" is centered at the Empire in Hirving-bent week. U. H. Carlisle and his assistants are a big feature with the title. "Carlisle is still in the limelight for many years on this side, in the well known partner, Wallace. He was well known acts in Europe, and one time were the same sentiments Layton and Johnstone are now. In the Dark Town Scandal revise are "Harris and "Green Grand" two clever comedians and exploits of grotesque dancing. The M. W. Lloyd and Smith are two bright lights of the revue as well and flobble. The revue is well bound until summer. While nothing definite has been announced in regard to the popular Paul Dickson, who recently closed with "Harris," it is known that he will short appear in concert in Germany and will appear at the wonderful Album Hall in concert. At the moment he is taking a much needed rest in the country. He will also appear on the Exclusive Artist Tour in early spring. Henry Garner, the well known tenor, has arrived in London after a wonderful trip to America. Mr. Garner is much raised over his success during his best trip to the States. Kush and Dhika's tails arrived at the Hilo in London last week and was very good from all reports. Rob Kush's orchestra was also presented at the big cinema theatre in Leicester Square, the Empire, last week, and was very interesting as well. Spike's Orchestra is from California. While we were appearing in Liverpool recently my attention was called to a colored woman's head in the Florence Mills League, located at Stanley street. It is an interesting institution and is run on quite decent trees and is strictly for colored seam, families and friends. The best white people contribute to its upkeep. It is known in Liverpool just enough in the white and wonderful little Mills. Mills are in the heart of influenza season.

BAYNARD WHITNEY MEMORIES, LIKE A faded old tree pattern, were refreshed in the minds of old-timers in the show business when Lotte Williams, widow of the revered comedian, Bert of Ziondraufs Palm Beach, Williams, was told to rest beside her husband at Woodlawn Cemetery last Wednesday, following high noon funeral services at St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 143th street, near Seventh avenue. The Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop, assistant rector, officiated. The honorary palefearers included William Boijenger, Robinson, Billy Thompson, assistant rector, Gilbert O'Brien, T.

Arthur "Strut" Payne, bans, reordered Rodney's "Calvary" with beautiful effect. His singing evoked much favorable comment. The boy chair of St. Philly's also sang. Had Been Long Ill Mrs. Williams had been ill for a number of years, having undergone serious reports. Continued grief over the death of her husband is said to have worn down her nervous system considerably, causing her to suffer a collapse. She was confined to the Wiley M. Willems hospital, where she was period of five months, and came home one month before her death, which was sudden. The end came at her residence, 2269 Seventh avenue, Sunday morning, March 17, about quarter after five. Was Famous Beauty Mrs. Williams was born in Chicago in 1864, and was the daughter of Louis and Emile Johnson, long since deceased. She died at the age of 63. Her early education was received in the Chicago public schools. An Lettle Johnson she sang in the choir of St. Thomas' Church in Chicago and gave many church concerts. She was a teacher of reading and recitations and at one time was a member of the Winslow Sisters' Quarterly. Throughout her life Mrs. Williams was famed for her beauty, having won several prizes in beauty contests, including one at the Chicago World's Fair in 1882, which was given much comment by the white press. She was then about 26 years old, during which time she married a second time. Throughout her stage career she was called the "show girl." She was very fair in competition and might easily have passed for white. Married Three Times While still a young woman, Little Johnson married Irwin Cales, a wealthy railroad Pullman porter of her native city. A son was born to the couple and the mother called him "Haba." She wished the child, it it said, and was heartbroken when Babe died in 1912. She married Coles turned out poorly and they divorced. Her second husband was Samuel Thompson, then a jewelry salesman of Chicago, brother of Noah D. Thompson, now business manager of Opportunity Magazine. This was sold to be about 1892, the same year she won the beauty contest. Mr. Thompson is now living in Los Angeles. About this time Mrs. Thompson became "stage struck." According to Jesse Williams, who was stage manager of the Williams and Walker shows, Lotte tried to get on with "Isamu's Oriental." Mr. Shippo was then with the "Orientals" produced by John Isamu, white, who made a fortune with his stage at Liverpool she donated to several institutions of this kind as well as helped a number of unfortunate people, therefore, this club was renamed in her honor. It is true that she has gone, yet her memory will live forever in the minds of the English people. She lived a beautiful life and there is no doubt about it. I began my items in Aberdeen, but am now in the second largest city in England, which, of course, calls Anglo-Scottish, and before my next items are written we shall be in the wonderful city of Edinburgh. I shall perhaps have something interesting to say about this city, which is noted for its culture. Children's Theatricals Auspices HOPE DAY NURSERY Entrants Report: TEXWUT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21ST - F.

Shortly afterward the Thompson were divorced and Lotte married Bert William. Lotte is reported have been nine years older than Bert. **An Ideal Couple** Thompson was fortunate in the bliss of Lotte's union with Bert. They were an ideal couple, and, as far as can be determined, none of the old-timers recall having heard them quarrel. Her first stage role was that of a reporter in "Policy Players." Her second appearance was with "Bom of Hana" which starred Aida Alika in *The Walt Disney Company*. Bert's partner, Aida's role was that of "Miss Hanna of Savannah." A peep into a faded diary of one of the old-timers reveals its activities in 1891, when the show played at the old Grand Opera House, Twenty-third street. William played the part of a booking agent in "Bones of Ham." The show played a house in Brooklyn on March 22, 29 and 30, 1982.

The London, London, the spring of 1893, remaining there fourteen months, eight months of which they played at the Shaftesbury Theatre, Mr. Shipp recalled. While in London a surprise party was given for the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace. A colossal cake was placed on the palace lawn and at a given signal Lotte and Burt, Ake and George stepped out of the cake and presented a special cakewalk for the prince. While abroad Mrs. Williams son died in Chicago and she returned to America to bury him. She then went back to England and joined "Dabomey" and returned with the company when it played its third season in America. In this show she took the part of a lady in a dress shop. Fellowing came three more Williams Walker successes, "Abyssinia," "A Load of Coal" and "Sandanna Land." Mrs. Williams did a song in the latter show. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY.

I purposely kept Lottie and Alicia in the same dancing rooms in order to offset any possible jealousy between them." "While Handling playing Atlantic City, Alicia received an outside offer and was about to quit the show. She was offered more money to stay, but as soon as her salary was raised, Lottie demanded a raise also. The manager wouldn't give her a raise, but Bart offered to make up the difference from his salary. Lottie objected to this, and small as it was, Bart left the show finally and Bart sent her the equivalent of her salary every week from his own pocket."

Tincture de Brown, Esquire, who made his debut last week as our personal philosopher, has at last been button-holled and forced to admit that he will be in the Easter parade on Seventh avenue Sunday afternoon. In fact, Tink, as we familiarly address him, admitted that he will be on parade most of the day—eight hours, to be exact. He told the dress Mr. de Brown stated that he will finish his custom (and that of the Department of Street Cleaning) of appearing in white, with a jauntily set cap to top the costume. Asked if he thought Harlemites are beginning to feel the effects of spring, he indulged wisely, Yes, and the after effects of spring, too, so he sent a collectors start demanding their money for milady's spring clothes." The Dear Thing SHE loved me for the frock and hat And all the gladson gurb of I paid the bills and that was that. And she remained the dear, dear thing. — A. POOR SIMP. Aha!

Luis Varona in Violin Recital The distinguished Cuban violinist, Luis Carlos Varona, delivered a difficult and varied program on Saturday evening, March 23, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It is well to state frankly that Mr. Varona's performance of the Max Bruch Concerto in G minor was on the whole considrably better than his first performance on October 16 at Zion Church. In his work he showed a good command of technique and style, notably in the bold treatment of the Max Bruch Concerto along with the Wieniawski brilliant concerto in D minor. Although his tone grew a bit wry in certain upper reaches and his playing lacked sonorous depth in tone production, his style was expressive, with the needed technical brilliancy throughout. Mr. Varena was delightful in the lighter group of smaller pieces, at which time his playing was imbued with spiritified freshness that communicated itself at once to his listeners. In contrast, poetic feeling duly characterized the reading of the Chopin Nocturne No. 7. Even the Dvarkal-Kreisler Romanza Andaluzia. Op. 22 was conscientiously performed with every evidence in its structure of a Fitz Kreisler arrangement. The pianist, Miss Harriet Morgan, helped to make the evening an artistic success in her freshnesss and adequate treatment of the piano parts—a task for which she was equipped.

Former Convict Loses As He Pleads Own Case Questioning and cross-questioning his accusers in an attempt to prove his innocence of malicious destruction of property, David Stevens, 34, 271 West 146th street, was sentenced recently to an indefinite term in the penitentiary by the Court of Special Sessions. Stevens, acting as his own attorney, interrogated witnesses on minute details, but a criminal record of two penitentiary terms proved his undoing. Peter Mendez, 35, 33 Bradhurst avenue, charged Stevens with entering the first floor hall at 290 West 144th street and tearing the coin box telephone from the wall with the aid of a bar. The accused man denied the accusation in full and produced two witnesses to aid his defense. He accepted sentence immediately after his conviction.

These are the words in which most of us phrase the meaning of Easter. But Easter has a wider significance than this, wider than Christianity, more ancient than the pagan celebration from which our Christian Easter was derived, a significance as old as the mountains and as new as today. It is the spiritual symbol of man's revivification throughout the ages of history. Wherever nature, blighted and crushed by winter, has rearisen with its green banners; wherever mankind, ground into the dust, has raised its head anew; wherever there is a guarantee of hope and emotion, there is Easter. ONE COUNTRY had its glorious Easter in the World War. It was France. The Niobe of nations, drenched through all her history in tears and blood, humbled in the dust by Germany, branded by other nations as the home of decadence, vice, corruption, weakness by loss of population and prestige—when the mightiest army of all time rolled forward with a power that seemed irresistible, it was France that stood in its way and drove it back. It was France that stood out as the spearhead of civilization, it was she whose so-called decadent blood gave the world its greatest soldier, Ferdinand Foch. Prominent Divine Acclaimed Hero Preacher Took Charge in Train Wreck Crisis in Georgia ATLANTA, March 25.—The Rev. D. D. Crawford of this city, corresponding secretary of the Colored Baptist Association of Georgia, is being acclaimed today by the Atlanta Constitution and other papers as the hero of a train wreck which took place near Manchester, Ga., Friday. "The crash over," says the Constitution's front-page story, "the preacher helped to extricate the conductor from the wreckage and received instructions from him how to prevent another possible wreck. He sent the flagman to Manchester to give the alarm and summon aid, and then took a red lantern and ran back to place a warning for other approaching trains. With three cars and the engine piled into the washout and rain pouring down, the preacher began carrying passengers to safety. Crawling down to a spot near the engine he saw that the engineer was injured and just recovering consciousness. To reach the victim he built a rough bridge of timber, crawled over it and, with the aid of a trainman, carried the engineer across his bridge to safety.

Christ Gave Greatest Message, Says Garner Asked for an Easter message from the numerous denominations represented in the organization he heads the, Rev. A. C. Garner, president of the Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting of New York and Vincity, said: "The greatest message is the one Jesus brought to the world. It bodes hope; it is the substance of faith; it is love incarnate. The resurrection promises immortality plus eternal life. Newness of life follows the belief in the risen Christ. "I am the resurrection and the life! What a wonderful announcement!" helped bring out more trapped victims and, when rescuers from Manchester arrived, he alided them in their work. All saved, he gave the injured his blessing and, in several cases, prayed for them." Brown Harper, Negro fireman whose home is in this city, was killed instantly in the wreck, and ten of the passengers and crew were injured. Recent torrential rains were responsible. Prophet Opens Brooklyn Holy Trinity Services A. S. S. ANDREW JONES, prophet, who is credited with predicting numerous disasters in advance, will open a ten-day service Sunday night at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church; DeKalb avenue near Franklin, Brooklyn. The speaker is given credit for prophesying the World War twenty years before the outbreak, for predicting the assassination of President McKinley, the Johnstown flood, and numerous earthquakes. He also foresees another war for the United States. A special chorus under direction of Edward H. Boatner, noted Chicago conductor, will sing at the services.

And merely a Sunday with flow the indestructible spirit THE NEGRO, similarly, has been living in the spirit of Easter for sixty years. Beaten down into slavery for three hundred years, with every attempt, crude or subtle, made to blot out his sense of manhood and womanhood, hounded and discouraged at every step, the daily target of violence, hate and slander, he has lifted his head and dared to live courageously. The trodden flowers of manhood and womanhood again raised their heads to the sun. JUST NOW this country is passing through an era of corruption. Mammon is its god, its youth are running wild, degradation and perversion flourish like poison plants, the virtues that made civilization are flouted and jeered at as something antiquated and the gunman seems immune from retribution. Pious people wring their hands and wonder what will become of the world. THEY NEED NOT FEAR. In Rome and Babylon, in Carthage and Sidon and Tyre, in Sodom and Gomorrah, humanity sank lower and passed through more rottenness than anything we see today. But through all the corruption the seeds of order, decency and courage have lived, to sprout anew and more gloriously than before, to gladden the world with countless resurrections. And that is Easter — not merely a Sunday with flowers and anthems, but the indestructible spirit of the human heart. News of the Churches News of the Churches Bethel A.M.E.

Mrs. Garner C. Thompson, of 26 Grand View Terrace, Rochester, N.Y., says: "I was subject to billious spells and sick headaches. My blood was thin and my food wouldn't digest.

Druggists know this and for the past 10 years have recommended it to men and women who need a quick "pick up" that will put them on their feet and give them a new interest in life.

THE PLUMBER. IN his book "What Shall Our Boys Do for a Living?" Charles F. Wingate writes: "I would strongly advise young men to become plumbers. A first-class plumber must understand both the theory and practice of sanitary science, the science of a machinist or an engineer. Within a few years the trade has been revolutionized and there is a growing demand in all parts of the country for capable plumbers. A young man who is master of the trade has a great advantage over the ordinary, ignorant, unscrupulous plumber and should have no difficulty in getting plenty to do." A plumber must have a mechanical turn of mind to cope with the intricate problems that are constantly coming up in plumbing systems, ventilation and heating. The pay is for plumbers making as much as carpenters, and there is also the prospects of advancing to the position of sanitary engineer, contractor, etc. If you are looking for a white collar job, plumbing is not the trade. You must not be averse to soiling hands, face or clothing. You will be able to go into foul smelling, dimly lightened spaces. You must not shrink from them but accept them as part of your job. Like the carpenter and mason, you should have a taste for geometry, science and drawing and, if possible, should complete a high school education beginning to learn the plumbing trade. Your high school course you should emphasize mathematics, science (particularly physics and physi- A Baby in Your Home The Remarkable Influence of k Doe for's Prescription After Years of Cruel Disappointment You Can Try it Free THE NEW YORK TIMES Hundreds of married women, childless for years, suddenly find them the most bifurcated anticipation due to the new doctor's most wonderful prescription, Mrs. Anne M.

Let me warn you again first to test out your liking for the trade before entering into it. This might be possible by odd jobs at the work itself. There are today many good trade schools where plumbing is taught on real contract jobs in two or three years. Enroll in one and you will take advantage of opportunities. After completion course you will receive a journeyman's wage and be well on the road to success.

NEW YORK National Game in Official Start Among Negroes in East Next Sunday at Oval Diamond Men of Lincoln Giants to Swing Into Action Against Sensational Carltons, Now Rulers of the Bronx and Masters of Bronx Giants LLOYD TO LEAD KEENAN MEN AGAIN "Strangler" Forbes to Umpire Games at Catholic Protec tory Oval — New Recruits to Line Up for Tryouts This Week—Former Star Basketball Player Also in Line-Up of Local Giants The stage is all set and all that Jimmie Keenan and Manager John Henry Lloyd ask is that the coming Sunday will be as fair as the past and they will show the world the rejuvenated team making a dash for honors in the new American Negro league. The Catholic Protectory Oval will be the scene of the season's initial bow of the famous Lincoln Giants when they stack up in their first tilt against the sensational Carltons, the team which has taken the place of the Bronx Giants by reason of its popularity after having smothered the latter. With the appearance of the Giants at the Oval Manager John Henry Lloyd also makes his bow in a closer capacity to the estimable Jimmie Keenan, the man who has tried to keep the game afloat and serve the fans to the best of his ability. Lloyd takes full responsibility for the team and while the manager will also occupy his old place as captain he will go on the diamond if necessity dictates. Frank Forbes, known far and near as "Strangler" because of his peculiar adaptability to smother plays on the field, was a graduate of Harvard University and who brought the same tendency to the basketball court as a member of the world beating "Incorporators" of another day, will take his place as official ompire at the Oval commencing the season. Forbes has for years been playing baseball upstate and in Canada with a number of white teams and will also be remembered as quite a performer on the diamond in these parts in those days when Olympic Field was the home of baseball fans of a Sunday afternoon. The roster of the Lincoln Giants under Captain Lloyd will include, catchers, Rola, Rich McGee and "Spearman"; in the infield will be by Hydra, and in the outfield will be Danny McCellan. Philadelphia Giants and one of the best basketball players of recent days, Riggins and Douglas, the latter formerly manager of the team, will be for the last base position on the team, while in the outfield will be Charlie Smith, another player formerly with the Royals and in the best all around baseball men in the country today. Doyle, Gray, Mason and Dugan will be on the team and guiding the territory in the outfield, while "Nip" Winters, "Boy" Thomas, Campbell and Bill Harlan will hurt for the Keenan men. Four new recruits are outing into the Lincoln and the expected to things get going hot around the popular Oval. As members of the American Negro Baseball League the Lincoln Giants will try to carry into the league that representation worthy of recognition for the Emperor State of the Union. 1 With a good break in the weather this year baseball fans will see a real uniform of the Lincoln Giants with a will do bring back the glories of the past when many of the feathers the diamond and of whom the special baseball writer of this paper has so entertainingly told in these columns the time that could be selected the start of the national game here. Howard Loses Final Game to Morgan College EAST ORANGE, N. J., March 22—Morgan College defeated Howard University tonight with a score of 32 to 22 to win the third game of the series. Howard led in the first ten minutes of play but as a result of work to "Lanky" Jones, "Pinky" Clark, and "Bucky" outdistanced 20 to 9 at half time. In the second half the Bisons fought hard holding the Bears on even terms as indicated by the fact that both teams scored thirteen points. Coates and Beasley starred Howard, accounting for seventeen points, while the whole Morgan lineup took part in the scoring of their team. --- Howard was without the services of their star center, Simpson, who was left in Washington by Coach Barr by reason of discipline. **HOWARD-22.** | B. | F. | P. | Pts. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cottes | 5 | 0 | 2 | 10 | | Gates | 0 | 0 | 1 | 10 | | Deely | 3 | 2 | 1 | 7 | | Horne | 0 | 2 | 3 | 2 | | Poppyfield | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | | Wood | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Williams | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | | Borton | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Total | 2 | 4 | 11 | 22 | **MORGAN-23.** | B. | F. | P. | Pts. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Shaw | 3 | 1 | 7 | | Shaw | 3 | 0 | 1 | 7 | | Jones | 4 | 1 | 10 | | Wheeler | 2 | 2 | 2 | 6 | | Browns | 1 | 3 | 1 | 5 | | Totals | 13 | 7 | 7 | 33 | Chevaliers Defeat Stompers Le Chevalliers, playing a return entanglement with the Brooklyn Stompers on the Stompers' home grounds, were a memorable, nasty victorious, this time by the score of 31 to 17.

The 85 lb. relay taking second place was composed of Holmes, Crawford, Lawrence and Kent. A fine spirit of sportsmanship prevailed among the members of the track teams as in all other sports at the Utopia House.

Commandeurs Cop 19-18 From Newark Councils PHILADELPHIA. March 22—The Commandeurs broke loose in a terrible last half rally here tonight, at the New York Student Councils by the score of 19 to 18. The Councils led at half time, 11 to 4. The Councils were press agented as the New Jersey State Champions, due this season, and were regarded as one of the strongest teams in the East since they decisively conquered the New York Collegians in Newark. Probably they are one of the best teams in the East. But the Coms had just as much respect for the Newarkers as they respect for the Coms, and when the final whistle sounded, after one of the most thrilling games staged here, the Coms had overcome the Councils' close contest into a runaway had they been able to register one-fifth of the shots which rolled around the rim of the basket and just refused to go in. Wilson, Tucker, and Ward played wonderful ball for the losers, while Oscar Burnett, Sam Morton and Hank Gorgas starred for the Coms Amateur Queens Win Crown Thelma Yancy, "Queen of the Classic," will crown the New York State amateur basketball queens Tuesday evening.

"Lanky" Jones, Shown Holding the Ball in the Picture, Has Been Poison to Many Teams This Winter. TENNIS BY FRANCIS. ACTIVITY is being shown in tennis circles in the Big City in preparation for the 1929 season. The recent election of officers of the New York Tennis Association brought into office an entire new set of executives from whom much is expected. The hand-cap, through lack of available tennis courts in New York City during 1927 and a part of 1928, did much to slow up the progress of the Association, but that is partly remedied. WORK was recently started to add one more court on the grounds of St. Mark's tennis courts, on West 138th street. Last year the one court was hired out by the hour or day, and this year the Avon Tennis Club have leased it for the entire 1929 season. We feel sure that Everard Edmund, proprietor of the E. and S. courts, at 51st street and Fifth avenue, will hold a long compulsory backstreet last-year on his courts, and give tennis players a better surface, higher backstores between courts, and an early opening. THE Aven Tennis Club, one of the most progressive members of the NATIONAL Tennis Association will start their tennis course in the opening will be later, and a special program of matches will be arranged, announcements of which will be made through these columns. A MEETING of the Ideal Tennis Club was held recently at the residence of the Co. President, and was the following were elected to office for the ensuing year: Dr. James A. Banks, president: Mrs. Elise Conick, vice-president: John H. Wilson, secretary: W. well attended and enthusiasm run high, evincing the genuine Ideal spirit. "It seems like old times to see you here," was the genius expression throughout the evening. It was a grand reunion of friends. The newly elected president, Dr. James A. Banks, certainly needs no introduction to the tennis world. The popular dentist, a pioneer in the profession, has been a leader in the funders of the club. It is generally conceded that he has done much to promote the sport in this city and is himself among the best players in the district. Under his leadership the club plans to do big things. Lovers of tennis will undoubtedly be the ideal Tennis Club to active participation in the sport. This club, long a leader in New York tennis circles, formerly occupied five beautiful courts on 125th street, near Lenox avenue. A most impressive scene in the scene of many an interesting battle between the gods of Negro tennisism. Who so soon forgets the famous St. Mark's Hall, opposite; a rather convenient resort when, during some important tournament, a sudden downpour causes the fashionable galleries, ever present on these occultions, to seek shelter beneath its roof? Who fails to remember the prowess of such luminaries in the tennis firm of Washington, the D. C., or the beloved Stylvester Smith, the brilliant B. M. Clarke of Jamaica, Lucy Lottie, Lottie Wade, Ellis Conick, Stuile Madison, Mae Rae, the talented Jamie Brown, Eyre Snatch, and a host of great or near-great wonders of the raquet—all names to be conjured with. The march of progress, however, compelled the club to surrender its beautiful location to, perhaps, the more important business of the court. The fall of 1836 saw the closing of the courts and the temporary withdrawal of the club from active play. Now, fully recovered, the ideal has emerged from its involuntary re-entry and has entered a court the heart of Harlem for the use of its members. Membership in the club is limited and all former associates are urged to be present at the next meeting. Play will begin early in April.

CELTIC STOSTAGE BIG COMEBACK Rens Ready After Their Meeting With Visitation This Sunday BEAT ROCHESTER QUINT Local Team Holds Fancy of Fans in Coming Games By FRANCIS: The crack Rochester Centrals of the American League took another shot at the Renaissance home court winning streak last Sunday night, and, like their last effort two weeks ago, was set back by the score of 40 to 31. The visitors were strengthened by the addition of two of their regulars, Russell and Artus, who were unable to play on their first trip to the Harlem court. The Rens submitted Capt. Slocum in place of Mayors, and sent Satch to guard duty. The large bunch of fans saw a fast, clean and tight game that bristled with fine guarding, lightning passes and deadly shooting by both teams and exception of the last few minutes of play, neither team were more than three points ahead of the other, the lead alternating every few minutes during that period. The inauthenticity of the Rochester team led to "Pappy" Ricks cost them the game, and but for him the Rens surely would have tasted their first home defeat this season, but "Pappy" was unstoppable and tossed in seven baskets during the first half, and Ricks missed the nose out the Rochester team 19 to 18. Ricks making 15 of the Rens 19 points. In the second half the visitors held Ricks in check, allowing him only three points, but Siocum and Sanders most needed, thus carrying on the good work of Ricks in the first half. Shifter, Kentzing, and Russell each got four baskets, the former adding four fouls to lead this team with 12 points. Ricks being the high scorer and the outstanding star, of the game. For next Sunday night a basketball feast is in store for the fans, as three games will be played. The feature game will be the Bros and Guitar Association Triangles of the Bros whom they recently defeated by one point when "Pappy" Ricks tossed in one just as the whistle blew ending the game. This is sure to be a humorous event. The Newark Student Council will meet in another game, and the third game will be between the Meteors, formerly the Stag A. C., and the Metro-Diamonds Alumni. These three games ought to satisfy the most exciting basketball fan. It was announced that a series of games will be played between the Rens and the Original Celtics, former world's champions, who are again reorganizing their famous season for active competition next season. The first of these games will be played at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory. Thirty-two players and President Friday night, April 15. In the preliminary game last Sunday night, the Metro-Diamonds won the championship of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Renaissance Supremacy Threatened Renaissance Supremacy Threatened WE must confess that we here in Greater New York have surrounded the famous Renaissance Five with a feeling of sectional pride and support that would not allow for thoughts of our local heroes being dethroned by any other aggregation of basketball players in the race, but there has been an insistent banging on the gates of the big cities with a threatened charge on the citadel guarded by the men under "Bob" Douglas that forces us to look the situation squarily in the face and adhere to the principle of fairness which, we believe, has had a great deal to do with the support we have enjoyed these years. These guys defended the Renaissance Five at the hands of Morgan College has served to center greater attention on our local players, and when some weeks ago news soeeped in that the boys had suffered defeat at hands of the Philadelphia Giants we decided it was time to sit up and take notice. In the case of the Giants it leaves the matter in the hands of Morgan College until such a time as the atmosphere clears up, for the collegians were the last ones to defeat the Renaissance. But the case as a whole should be very simple. It will be a tough proposition for the Renaissance to again claim the season's championship unless the Douglas men bring these teams to New York and decisively defeat them. With a victory for the Giants this season and one for Morgan College, Renaissance will have two to one against them, and will have to be that deciding game. We are about to enter the last month of basketball for the season and Renaissance will have to act in a hurry to clinch her claims. No matter what her supporters feel in reference to this matter the fact remains that the question of who is really champion must be left open with Morgan and Philly Giants strutting the boards and pointing out to us that our team did no more than they did and they would have to do a great deal more to convince not only many followers in this city, but a host of basketball fans scattered throughout the country and the gentlemen of the Eastern and Western Sport Writers' Alliance. Even though we would for a moment foster a thought of being unfair enough to ignore the question, as president of the Eastern Sport Writers, the boys would have the right to place us on the carpet and make it pretty hot for this writer to play. We would allow thoughts of the consequences to be the actuating motive in scrambling across the parchment with these few lines. An ordinary sense of fair play is enough to show us the only path we can take in this matter and put it right up to "Bob" Douglas. Those two outside teams should either be brought here for games with the Renaissance or the games should be played in some spot convenient to the money and the sport writers. Sol Corrects W. Rollo Wilson READING the survey of the existence of the Philadelphia Giants by Rollo Wilson, Eastern representative of the Pittsburgh Courier, issue of 18th inst. I found a number of statements in the write-up that were it not for the picture of the boys of 1905 I am looking at as I wade through words, the word-recital would have been weird indeed. Rollo starts with the statement that the Philadelphia Giants were organized in 1901. Hace the acquired proper information, 1901 would have been a good day for Philadelphia team for 1902. I was captain of the Cuban X Giants, season of 1901. We played the Athletics of Philadelphia a post-season game on the 29th on Wentworth street grounds. In one of the greatest games ever staged by a colored team against a big league organization, the battle ended after nine innings with scores even at 4-4. It is worth while to mention here that the Athletics with such players as Socks Seybold, Mike Powers, Wid Conroy, Billy Gilbert, Matty McIntyre, Dolan, Wiltse and other noted players came to bil in the last half of the ninth inning and filled the bases before a man was retired. Old Hoss Nelson, millionaire and game manager of the titan team, smiled tightly held his belt and ended the game by retiring the heavy-hitting Socks Seybold, the last man at bat, with a pop fly. Walter Schlchter, then sports editor of the Philadelphia Item, as a spectator of this game, was so impressed with the attendance and the calibre of ball displayed by the Cuban X Giants, he expressed a willingness to venture into the business. A few days later we met and laid plans for a new team in 1902 to be called the Philadelphia Giants. The baseball field at this time was limited. Our team was placed on the co-plan, share and share alike. The Cuban X Giants, with an established reputation that had been the new giants, were given the chance. As such times the boys who were married given my share of money, Schlchter never accepted a share but oftimes advanced the wherewithal for the team to go on with. The season of 1902 closed with the Philadelphia Giants still in existence after going through one of the most nerve-racking seasons that ever fell to the lot of a manager. I did not have as much at the end of the season as I had when it started. To me it was sending the Giants through or bust. Financially it was bust. Otherwise it was a grand success. The following season, 1903, the players of the Philadelphia Giants were placed on salary. From then on through 1908 the players of the Giants missed only one payday. July 15, 1908, we left Philadelphia for a western trip, with the Giants in the Rockies for the month of July; 1908 was my last year as manager of the Giants. I have given you the low-down on the beginning and ending of my regime as manager of the Phillies, now just a few words about the middle. Under my management the Philadelphia Giants lost but one series of games to a colored team, 1903. They did not take the place of the Cuban X Giants in Friehofer League. The Philadelphia Giants and Cuban X Giants played deciding games for the championship and "Friehofer Cup" on big league grounds in Philadelphia before the largest crowd ever to attend a colored game. Rube Foster did not leave the Philadelphia Giants on account of salary differences. He always got what he asked for and sometimes more than he expected, as other players, who received extra stipends, will tell you. Foster had been in touch with parties in Chicago and New York. He even asked for a copy of my body to take up the western proposition. I was fully acquainted with Foster's intentions and gave him a hearty shake of the hand and wished him luck when he left for his new field of endeavor. Why the statement that I could not see Lloyd as a bull player was made has got me stumped. I signed Lloyd the first chance. It was in 1907. He did not have to ask the second time for a raise in salary for 1908. Ask him. When paydays on the Philadelphia Giants were not coming and players were jumping and other teams were beating them to death, I was not the manager. But Rollo, in telling of the disastrous finish of the Philies, failed to mention the year of my resignation. While older fans are fully acquainted with my record in baseball, I want the fans of today to get conditions and facts as they were there. I feel that colored baseball has profited from the efforts of my efforts. If any other person has done more, more power to him. Give him his due and I will join in the applause. What I got from baseball is a record. I am proud of it. Don't by inmuendo, mislrepresentation or pseudo information try to blot it. Clean and I will take it like a man. Good, bad or what have you!

The call is as follows: "Born on the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed by men and women both of whom who will be a hour called for a rededication of the country to the work begun by the Emancipation Proclamation. sion of colored people from 'white primaries in the South; and, in the famous Arkansas businesses, tablishing that a trial dominated by a man is not due process of law.

They believed that the American Republic could no more exist half slave and half free in 1909 than it could in 1863.

"It can't be done. There is not interest enough among either the whites or the blacks." They were wrong, those faint hearts. No one can fight for liberty and not rally many to his standard. There came a year when there were 100,000 members banded together to see even-handed woman, drawn to the association by its simple platform of making colored people 'physically free from ennace, mentally free from ignorance, politically free from distranchisement, and socially free from insult."

From the beginning it might the horrible crime of lynching by a one-man anti-lynching Bill to passage by the House of Representatives, being blocked only by a dilbuster of Southern Senators in the Senate. "During the 20 years of the association's service, lynchings have decreased in America from 83 in 1908 to eleven in 1828. In 1838, Ku Klux Klan the association flung itself from the very beginning, accepting the challenge of this un-American organization. Into the courts the N. A. A.

Break MIAMI BEACH, Fla., March 16 (ANP)—According to a recent interview given here, Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the world, and the promoter of the recent fight between Jack Sharkey and William Stribling, has got religion, and will hereafter, as a big-time promoter, see to it that the Negro boxer gets a chance at the big money and big honor, see to it. This information leaked out in the course of a conversation regarding Dempsey's future. The former champion let it be known that he desires to fill the shoes of Tex Rickard as a big-time promoter and that he believes he is specially fit for the job. "I think I know how to deal with bouts," he asserted. "They are temperamentals. The hard-boiled stuff doesn't go with them. Everything tied up because he knew inside on everything. He turned all that knowledge over to me. "In the shows I intend to promote I am going to give Negro boxers— George Godfrey, for instance—a chance. When Godfrey was due to play in the final round, he the one who got him to call it off. The future, I intend to keep my contracts with Godfrey, Sharkey and other boxers, and promote. This country is ripe for a lot of outdoor shows in the spring, summer, autumn and in the fall to stage them." This inside Dempsey will surprise many persons who still remember Harry Wills' inti ficial, though persistent, attemts to hire Dempsey into the ring with the talk is now thought by some that and Dempsey a fight between Godfrey grown out of negotiations between Dempsey and Godfrey's manager to call off the Havana fight, which would have injured. Dempsey's show Worida. The probability is that Dempsey is promised to stage a show next summer Godfrey as one of the principals. Caused boxers, who have served as sparring makes for Dempsey, have been practically unanimous in their choice of his fair treatment of them. Some of the boys have left camp with an explanation. If he carries the same split into his promotional work that he exhibited toward them in training camp, the chances are that the sunburn warriors will come to rescind him one of their greatest benefactors, a former sparring partner of the boxer who is reported to have sneaked one over in a training camp bout.

"More than this the association has championed the individual victims of injustice. It has opened the doors of jail after jail for those unjustly confined because of their race. It has stood between innocent and innocent and innocent and innocent time. It has defended the unjustly accused and prevented their conviction even when the law machinery and the police of a great city were determined to have them found guilty. Above all, perhaps, it has penetrated the very marrow of American public sentiment. It has challenged the sentiment has been persistently, and the change has been profound. "There it has stood, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for twenty years a tower of light, its rays thrown into dark places, illuminating the skies of hope, a beacon for all in distress because of theance turn to for aid. When the estimate of mers existence has meant for the courage, the faith, the loyalty of twelve millions of Americans? "And now this association turns to the public and asks a beggarly $200,000, ten thousand dollars a year, for each year of its patricious service. It needs an endowment only because of the added strength which ten thousand dollars a year will bring, but because of the assurance this small endowment fund will give to colored people everywhere that the chief champion of their interests is here to stay; that the need for them is extraordinary achievements merit. "A million dollars is what it should have, and if it had it every cent could be spent wisely and well in its battle for the fundamental principles of American life. Two hundred thousand dollars is what it should have. The Treasury American who believes in fair play, American to the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we make this appeal." The entire piece and assimilate the knowledge there. The first thing that was most outstanding was the phrase "Don't take unnecessary chances." The prohibitive statement or command meant just one thing, and that was do not buy a car from a stranger who is going to Europe and wants to get rid of his car, or know how to get it, or know to be reliable and is offering a car for a song. Once in a while you may strike a bargain that is a real good buy, but that just happens once in a while. In all the writer's experience as a salesman and dealer, there are but two times that he seen a "song" buy that was real. People do not give away an automobile that has cost them honest to goodness American dollars for the love of giving; therefore if you are "begging for a heating" begin to buy from the man who advertises in a flashy fashion and is going to give something away. It is not easy to notice to give away something that has value. A used car in good condition is a better buy than new car any day in the week and can be easily proven by figures. Mr. Smith in January, 1928, bought a sedan for which he paid one thousand dollars and decided that he would sell it in January, 1929.

Lad State Autom Main Office 20 Wes TAXI NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1929 BOOK REVIEW Black Economics BLACK AMERICA Published by The Vanguard SOCIALISM, theoretically, democracy than in a more that way in practice. It is Germany under the iron heel it was a terror to the Hohenzoll Socialist became Prime Minister Mussolini stepped in. But in proletariat is supposed to hail else, it has never taken hold of oppressed race in America, hard for it; but if there is any away from, it is Socialism. SOCIALISM, theoretically, ought to thrive better in a democracy than in a monarchy; but it doesn't work out that way in practice. It never flourished better than in Germany under the iron heel of the Kaiser, when Herr Bebel was a terror to the Hohenzollerns; and in England, where a Socialist became Prime Minister. It was running Italy before Mussolini stepped in. But in the United States, where the proletariat is supposed to have more power than anywhere else, it has never taken hold of the people. The Negro, the most oppressed race in America, might have been expected to fall hard for it; but if there is anything the black man keeps miles away from it, is Socialism. Now a prominent Socialist has written a book on the Negro. Scott Nearing, storm-bird of American economics, offers his solution of the race problem in a small book entitled "Black America"—that is, it would be small if it were not for the art of the book-maker and photographer. It tells the truth as far as it goes, though the reader feels that if the author had put more time and study on the race problem his conclusions would not have been so pat. The Golden Rule also is true enough. In eleven words it gives a cure for all the lills of humanity; but when a sincere endeavor to practice is made, it meets with complications. "Black America" skips over all the complications and attributes everything to economics. The emotions have no place in Nearing's scheme of things; love, hate, hope and fear are all governed by economics. The book makes a brief survey of the slave trade, which certainly was an economic matter, then skips to the year 1863, when there were 4,500,000 Negroes in America. The rest of the book deals with the various phases and means of the exploitation of these Negroes and their descendants by the capitalistic class of America. The last paragraph of the book gives the author's solution of the whole race problem in America. "Emanclipation for the American Negro, as for any other subject race under the capitalist imperialist system, can come only when the Negro working masses have joined the white working masses in smashing the social and economic structure built upon individual exploitation, and by replacing it with a co-operative economic system under working-class control." This sounds much easier than it is. The Negro worker has absolutely no objection to joining the trade unions and sharing their benefits. The trouble is that the unions which the author urges the Negro to support will not admit him; in many trades the white workers will go on a strike if a Negro is placed among them. As a matter of theory the American Federation of Labor advocates the admission of Negroes to unions; in practice it shuts them out. The Federation has never put its foot down in a resolute attempt to get work for Negro laborers. This point the author, in his pre- goes into a salesroom and makes his intentions known. After some discussion he finally learns that he can only receive in trade for his 65 mod around 1929, the amount he originally paid even though the car had been driven but ten thousand miles. The life of the average motor car is measured in miles and is put at about one hundred thousand miles. The car has only been used or the car is owned by Mr. Smith knows that much, but the law is that the value of the car depreciates from thirty to forty per cent the first time the buyer sits under the wheel. That Mr. Smith also learns. Yet his car is not at all valuable by 1929 being somewhat of a stylist Mr. Smith buys, after having traded his old car in for six hundred dollars.

It was running Italy before the United States, where the more power than anywhere the people. The Negro, the most right have been expected to fall in the black man keeps miles occupation with economics, seems to overlook. The Negro's worst enemy is not the capitalist, who cares little what is the color of the hands that make his fortune; it is the white laborer who stands in the way, determined that the Negro worker shall not work side by side with him; it is the white laborer who thus divides and weakens the working class and makes it easier prey for the capitalist. Nearing should address his argument to the white trade unions, not to the Negro whom they have locked out. There is one sinister feature in this book. It must have crept in through carelessness, for one would hardly suspect Scott Nearing of making a brief for lynching. It is the repeated assertion that the Negro is kept in his place by organized violence, that in cases where the law does not operate lynching is the method by which segregation and discrimination are enforced. The author comes perilously close to saying that lynching is about the only effective way to keep the Negro down.

There are countless photographs in the book and they are as one-sided as the arguments. They build up a picture of the depths to which the Negro has been forced without a corresponding picture of the heights to which he has struggled. The long series of Negro huts and shanties should have been relieved by pictures of the finest Negro residences of Chicago and other cities. Villa Lewaro on the Hudson should have been included. "Black America" contains nothing new for Negroes, who have lived through everything the author describes; nor has it any message for the whites, except to tell them how effectively they are doing what they set out to do.

Conrad Vincent, and the MD DR. VINCENT may be known chiefly as the founder of this institution to his name which is even an outstanding authority on medicine, recognized by white and colored culture. His procedure for a urological detail in a leading text book or originated by Dr. Vincent ten years ago is the most advanced method. In the second surgery he has also demonstrated actual ability. SANATORIUM should tend to already high standing of the entire profession and should have the unattainable profession and the public. He contented robs men of the daring and initial business. PROFESSOR CLARK's main force and pertinence can be admitted because of college education. The education, as with American tastes, is accounted to the god of economics, the quantity rather than the sort of Professor Clark's own university students than any other university. Students leave the colleges with cause they did not go there for forty days go for the sake of the fraternity thousands of poor ones go because they will increase their earning power have any real desire for self-development, or the spiritual values of a drug is a drug on the market. ENS TO BE TRUE that college has better incomes than others, and the real is, not so strong as it seems. His success is due to education, and he? Most of them had superior education to college. The college failure should have been failures if they had another confusing factor is that collisions from already prosperous from higher incomes or better opportunity man. And behind everything self that a college education, by so can make a silk purse out of all fails to accomplish this miracle, are college instead of the sow's ear.

Whenever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. Vincent Sanatorium THE OPENING of the Vincent Sanatorium is a milestone in the progress of the practice of medicine and surgery in Harlem. Equipped with the latest appliances known to the profession and supplemented by one of the most modern of dental offices to be found anywhere in the city, as well as a dispensary where the filling of prescriptions by a licensed pharmacist is the major and only activity, the sanatorium stands as a credit both to the indomitable will and ambition of its founder, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, and the community. THOUGH DR. VINCENT may be known among the general public chiefly as the founder of this institution, he has another monument to his name which is even more impressive. He is an outstanding authority on urological surgery and is so recognized by white and colored surgeons all over the country. His procedure for a urological operation is described in detail in a leading text book on the subject and, though originated by Dr. Vincent ten years ago, is still considered the most advanced method. In the general field of medicine and surgery he has also demonstrated that he possesses unusual ability. VINCENT SANATORIUM should tend to raise still higher the already high standing of the entire medical profession in Harlem and should have the unintended co-operation of the profession and the public. The progress made by all members of the profession is due chiefly to such pioneering spirits as made the sanatorium a reality. Sow's Ears and Colleges A HORNETS NEST was stirred up by Professor Harold F. Clark of Columbia University in his remarks on education in its relation to earning power. He declared that the tremendous increase in the number of college graduates would lower their individual earnings; he scoffed at the old argument that college graduates have larger incomes than others merely because of superior education; he contended that college education robs men of the daring and initiative needed for success in business. ALL OF PROFESSOR CLARK'S main arguments are sound; their force and pertinency can be admitted without harming the cause of college education. The great fault of American education, as with American tastes in general, is that it has succumbed to the god of economics, to the ideal of mass production, of quantity rather than quality. The proudest boast of Professor Clark's own university is that it has more students than any other university in the world. Thousands of students leave the colleges without a real education because they did not go there for one. Thousands of rich boys go for the sake of the fraternities and social distinction; thousands of poor ones go because they think a college degree will increase their earning power. Far too few of them have any real desire for self-development, for knowledge and culture, or the spiritual values of a university. The result is a drug on the market. IT HAPPENS TO BE TRUE that college graduates, as a class, have better incomes than others; but this argument, when analyzed, is not so strong as it seems. How much of the graduates' success is due to education, and how much to natural ability? Most of them had superior natural ability before they went to college. The college failures, on the other hand, would have been failures if they had never seen a college. Another confusing factor is that college students are largely recruited from already prosperous families who secure for them higher incomes or better opportunities than fall to the poor man. And behind everything is the naive American belief that a college education, by some magical transmutation, can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. When college fails to accomplish this miracle, as it must fail, they blame the college instead of the sow's ear. DR. CLARK'S third declaration, that college robe a man of business initiative, is cutting but true. If it were not true there would be no colleges. A school which is run for thousands of students must have many iron rules, must establish a norm, a policy of the greatest good for the greatest number. Conformation to this norm inevitably means a sacrifice of individuality, as it does in family relations and in society in general. A college cannot surrender itself to the wild whims of occasional genius. A student genius inventing a new kind of dynamo cannot be allowed to keep a whole dormitory awake with his racket at four A. M. just because he has a sudden inspiration. But if the genius conforms he loses his initiative. THE TWO CLASSES of men most harmed by college are geniuses and fools. If you are either of these, keep away from college. If you are an ordinarily bright person looking to improve your mind, character and personality, to find a philosophy to live by, to cultivate an appreciation of the best things of past and present cultures, go to college. If you are a sow's ear you will remain one, whether you go to college or not. Know New York State New York State, as a unit, is the most valuable parcel of real estate in the country.

At a time of all times, when co-ordinated and concerted action is required, the race is involved in political confusion inextricably confined. There is no indication of order out of the surrounding chaos. President Hoover's administration seems destined to be apocalyptic. He has hypothesized its success or failure upon the enforcement of law. Beginning with prohibition, he dare not stop short of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Mr. Hoover has aroused public conscience which had lain dormant in passive acquiescence with lawlessness. The moral scandal of nullification has been proclaimed in the world. The seared public conscience been quickened and the lethargic public soul has been troubled. To any one who watched with a discerning eye the surface indications of the last campaign in the South, a deep-seated purpose was clearly revealed. The solid South split. No effective political reconstruction was possible without the consenting participation of a majority of the old rebellion States. A political revolution was in theATCHING. Harah and ruthless aggrieved landowners and negroes were ruthlessly removed from the council table. Lily Whitestone was flirted with. Even the Ku Klux Klan was accepted, with its tolerated support. To all of this Mr. Hoover gave his nodding assent or tacht acquiescence. After all has been said and, the political reconstruction of the WHY do so many Americans — white Americans — live in Europe? An ultra-modern magazine named "Transition," published in English in Paris, has asked the question of fourteen ultra-modern thinkers, and has carried their answers in its latest issue. That query, too, has interested me for a long time and I rarely miss an opportunity to put it to white Americans I meet. Recently, in the reading-room of a Chicago newspaper in Paris, I met a benevolent-looking American of about fifty, and in the course of the conversation that followed he The man who has money and lives in America is a d-dool." That made me sit up and think. If he felt that way, how should I feel? Here this man was white. Besides, he belongs to an old American family and, as I believed then and have since learned, he is very rich. I further reflected that had I been in two shades lighter in color, even without this man's importance, would be perfectly content to make my home in America. America is not only the land of opportunity, but it is that also of modern comfort, convenience and sanitation. America, today, is the model of France. Italy, Russia, of almost every country in Europe, including conservative old England. Half of Europe is planning to get to America and half of the remainder is planning to get to the good American dollars from the tourists this summer. This planning is the only rivalry among the different states as to which shall get the lion's share. The American, good natured boob abroad, hands over his money readily enough. Europe is interesting for its past; so far as its future is concerned, its greatest hope is to model itself on modern lines—that is, American lines—which it is busily doing. I mean American business methods and techniques, however, that certain manifestations of American psychology will follow is inevitable. And here I am not thinking of color prejudice. Secures Reputed John Brown Cane of Curios A cane purported to have been owned by the marryr, John brown, who gave his life in 1859 in an attempt to free the slaves, recently came into the possession of George E. Young, 255 West 144th street, collector of rare books and coins. Mr. Young said he purchased the cane from George H. Baker, president of the Numismatic Society of New Jersey. The exchange is to include a sheat of letters and papers establishing the authenticity of the cane. A turned straight stick of mahogany, the cane is sanded by a nickelled By KELLY MILLER South, in harmony with the Fifteenth Amendment and the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, will constitute the crowning achievement of the new administration. The enforcement of the the Negro what ought to have structure there avowed purpose South into cons leave the Negro — Kelly Miller — Eighteenth Amendment but paves the way. Under the original reconstruction, the counsel and consultation of the Negro were not sought because the race had not at that time advanced to the A.B. C's of political science. Good white men, out of a mixed motive of benevolence and revenge, gave Bu J. A. ROGERS The rich American went on to say further than he could live no longer in America because there was no freedom there. Was he referring to prohibition? Oh, no. He experienced it while in Detroit, he said, and now a stock in his cellar there. The gist of his complaint was that there were too many laws and restrictions. A lot of women and women-crafted men, he said, were running the country and making it decent, self-respecting man to live. I have talked with dozens of white Americans on this subject and their reply is much along the same lines. Most of the white Americans are rich. Some, however, live in a manner so poor that they be unthinkable at home. Yet they, with all the opportunities awaiting them, do not wish to return. They all desire liberty! They want to breathe Freedom's air! If these people, some 80,000 of them, feel obliged to get out of America because of alleged oppressive conditions, now then must one regard the following Negro, who would be glorified with the conditions from which these white Americans have bed-fellows, as the saying goes. Negrohating Southerners and Negroes—the desplacer and the desplaced—both coming to Europe in search of liberty, like hunter and hunted fleeing from a forest fire. The Symposium. Here are some of the excerpts from the symposium in "Translation." "America is now early Victorian, very early Victorian. She is a rich and well-nourished home, but not a place to work." "In America there are no facilities for the enjoyment of leisure or apparatuses for reflection." "I prefer Europe, if you mean France, to America because there is less interference with private life here." "My principal reason for living abroad is that I prefer to live, in so far as such a thing is possible, with the maximum of pleasure and the greatest of freedom. The struggle of existence in the America into which I early plunged reached such an intensity that it finally be- and inscribed band near the ivory knob handle. The inscription reads: "John Brown to Tom Thomas, to Hon. Jason W. Steele, to W. W. Pride, Springfield, Mass." The Tom Thomas referred to is believed to be a man named in Samborn's "Life of John Brown." Thomas is said to have met the insurrectionist in 1840 in Syracuse and to have promised to aid in the fight for liberation of the slaves. Thomas, however, is believed to have gone to California in 1859, when Brown made his military and disastrous attack upon the United States arsenal at Harper's Fort. Mr. Young is known as a collector and does a mail order business in books and other curios. His best patron is patron said to be Henry Ford.

The Symposium the Negro what they thought he ought to have. In the new reconstruction there seems to be the awed purpose to take the white South into consultation, but to leave the Negro wholly out of the equation, except as a recipient. So far as I can learn, no Negro was Republican manipulators concerning the policy in the South. No Negro was a supporter of the militant to open his mouth in the campaign south of the Mason and Dixon line. Three weeks ago I attended the John R. Hawkins banquet in Washington with open ears and an attentive mind. I had expected that this was to be a feast of union and leadership among those who assume to guide the political fortunes of the race. I was ready to see the chairman of the campaign proclaimed the accepted leader and spokesman for the race in matters political. My disappointment was painful to the point of chagrin. No political celebrity registered his presence. The leading rights of the governor North Carolina, where the Negro era began, were sent; no Southern leader was there to put in his bill of complaints. Mr. Hawkins' 918-word memorandum to Mr. Hoover seemed to express mainly his personal view, but he also solid and concerted support of the race. I have no doubt but that forty "leaders" have sent in similar memoranda. It must be said of Mr. Hawkins' four propositions that they were sufficiently comprehensive and inclusive, but not sufficiently challenging consideration and action by the powers that be. The fate ans in Eu ROGERS came intolerable and I fled. . . I for one, can see no reason for re- minding in a place where the people are dominated by a single and basic idea—that of making a living.

His headquarters will be a ninety-story story, but the enemy will be crucified. Or, if he is, he will descend from the cross unharmed and whole as Houdt escaped from padlocks and sealed coffins." "I prefer to live outside of America because in America the stars were all infiltrated inside; because I do not wish to devote myself to perpetual hypocrisy; because I would rather be gathering sun than a spider gathering pollen . . ." "The one reason I prefer living outside of America is that I am able to live in Paris. But trying to defend against a spider gathering sun about as futile as an attempt to fly." Hayes to Sing for African "Y" Fund Max Yergen Fund to Receive $2,028 From April 21 Recital Roland Hayes, internationally celebrated tenor, will render his last concert of the season at Carnegie Hall Sunday evening.

The question is vitall Will the race, through its organized political strength, hold the States, North and South, in the air? Mr. Hawkins, or will we be left stretched in the air holding 918 words of impotent sermoning? Merely because Mr. Work set up a colored co-ordinating committee and appropriated $100,000 to hold the restless recalcitrants in line with the leadership, unless the substantial support of the race stands back of Mr. Work's choice. Mr. Raskob set up a similar committee for similar purpose and appropriated a like sum of money, but neither the one case nor the other the race political leadership without the common consent of those led Mr. Hoover will pay no mind to a leader whom the people will not follow. At such a critical time as this, when the political fate of the race is at stake, it would be the part of common prudence to uphold the man of the inside tract. One voice means more than many, voice be the compound of them all. I would say let the race speak to Hoover through Mr. Hawkins, if he will hear Hawkins; if not, select another whom he will hear and select as spokesman for the whole race. The race is in great peril for want of political vision. A single commanding, consummate leader, at this critical juncture, might help guide Mr. Hoover wisely amidst the intricacies of his political process, at the same time, secure to the New Yorkers of his long-hoped-for rights and privileges, those for which he has sided for in vain. to the moon. . . . First, it is to the center of the world as concerns the things which are of interest. Second finds its expression in Walden Johnson's words: Paris practices its lightly, as does its religion. . . . And, selfishly, I live abroad to benefit personally by these advantages." "I prefer to live outside of America chiefly because I once had money enough to leave America with and the desire to leave America at the same time. It was a coincidence that I have never had a coincidence since, I have never had the desire to go back and the money with which to go back at the same time." Now, no man tears himself away from country, home and friends except for deep-seated causes, hence the need for a keen sense of keen seriousity. But how trivial fanciful they seem to Negro Americans, who are still in the stage of demanding rudimentary justice. One man is protesting because he has no humming birds' tongues with his sumptuous repast, while the other is still at the stage of demanding bread! Another objection: America, they say, is inferior in a literary, artistic and musical way. But candidly, I do not think that present day Europe is so much superior to certain centers of culture in the Northern States. Europe is of the past, in that it is artistically greater. America has its great sculptors and painters and I believe that American writers are the equal of European ones. As to music, I have heard nowhere, even in Germany. Sophy Orchestra of New York or that of Chicago. In fact, I was disappointed at what I heard in Europe after hearing those orchestras. Some of the writers to "Transition" declared that the hurry in American life was not conducive to thinking. The fact is that one can learn in America as anywhere else if he wants to. My personal opinion, after much inquiry and observation, is that what the majority of white Americans seek in Europe may be summed up in the simple phrase: "Wine, woman and song." taries and native leaders in South Africa, and is to cost $47,000. It was the plan of Mr. Hayes, ten years ago, to visit Africa and study the music of the natives. The popular demand for his art upon his first visit to Europe, however, prevented him from executing his plan. His interest in Africa still continued and he expressed himself in deepest sympathy with the natives' problems when he first met Mr. Yergen several years ago, it is said. Since Mr. Yergen went to Africa seven years ago he has travelled most extensively throughout the velvet on his missions of practical education among the native tribes. John Cockeilleer, Jr. has donated $25,000 for the new building, conditioned upon New Zealand using a similar amount.

I HAVE been impressed with the handicap with which our children must start life, even from babyhood, and it occurs to me that though the fundamental cause is deep rooted in the social and economic structure of things, some improvement can be made. Some mothers must begin work before their babies have had enough breast milk, that which nature has provided as the best food for young infants. To this sometimes desirable practice alone can be attributable many of the ills and the high death rates among our babies. It is obvious that this will continue until such a time as the race reaches a higher economic and social plane. Interested and has some practical experience in the handling of children. Cleanliness, regularity in habits and a diet to suit the needs of the child are very important factors in the care of children. As a child grows older the problem of diet is still with us. One of the common complaints of mothers is that "my child won't eat." This result in malnourished and underweight children. Aside from these cases, where mothers must begin work early, the indication for artificial feeding is limited, and should not be instituted without the advice of a physiologist or digestive juices of an infant's stomach to aid the digestion of the simplest of food in relative proportions. The methods of older members of the family in the feeding of babies have very little place in the feeding problems of the present day infant living altogether different environment, and their neighbours to her may not be able with you, and the practice of feeding your baby at the suggestion of just anybody is a very bad one.

Published by Frederick Stokes & Co., 443 Fourth avenue. Price $2.50. It often happens that a writer's first novel is better than a second, but Miss Fauset reverses this rule. "Plum Bun" (What a delightful name) is decidedly better than "There Is Confusion." There was something besides the title that was confusion in the first story, but "Plum Bun," except for the love stories that meander through it, is a well constructed, clear bit of real life. That the writer should introduce melodrama from time to time is fortunate. Having two lovers, apparently white, each turn out to be colorful, passes the bounds of possibility; but when the effort to get the characters properly married is forgotten, the book stands out true, delightful. There are two heroines in "Pium Bum," two sisters, one dark, the other able "to pass" for white. They grow up in a little house on Opal street in Philadelphia: a drab-looking little house with its parlor, its midget of a dining room, its larger kitchen which, when the door opened to you, was "redolent of gingerbread and spiced preserves," dimy, the dark sister, is the one with housewife instincts. Angela, with her light skin and her love of beauty, responds differently to home influences. She is restless and loves to peep into the white world. With her mother she plays at being white, the two spend- Bringing Back Yesteryears Unemployment was reported on the increase by the National Urban League.

Cleanliness, regularity in habits and a diet to suit the needs of the child are very important factors in the care of children. As a child grows older the problem of diet is still with us. One of the common complaints of mothers is that "my child won't eat." This results in malnourished and underweight children. The main trouble in most of these cases is that older children are better adapted to eat between meals, candy can be one of the prominent articles eaten. Eating between meals is a bad habit for anyone, especially for a growing child. Good candy is wholesome food and can be given after the regular meal. Constipation is another source of trouble in children. It is often traceable to the fact that the older child is usually late for school or having to take the time off to attend school. Frust, both raw and cooked, with the sufficient drinking of water will help to remedy this condition. The rate of body activity of children is high, hence they must have sufficient rest to make up for the active processes of the growing body. The child who stays up after 8 hours of night is not given the opportunity to get this required rest. (To be continued next week) CHAT by THE OVINGTON Second Fauset. Published by Fred- pourth avenue.

Angela has the experiences. "The relation between the two sisters is the best thing in the book Jimny moves more tranquilly and on the whole, more successfully through life than does Angela. She learns, as her mother once put it, that being colored is just one more thing that you can accomplish with." And having successfully contended against other things, she surmounts the obstacle of color. But Angela, sometimes colored and sometimes white, experiences bitter loneliness. Increasingly she realizes that we all need a background, to which to turn when we are hurt, to which to turn when she elects to go white, this background recedes, she cannot find it. "Plum Bum" I hope will be widely read by both white and colored. I hope too it will get into every Negro high school and college library, and in sufficient numbers for the boys and girls to read it soon. They do so want friendly stories that might be a way "Plum Bum" tells of the everyday life of the educated Negro family. To take the commonplace and make it unique is the most difficult form of art. The house on Opal street will remain in the minds of those who read this book an unforgettable, friendly glimpse of Negro life.
