Codefendants Escape Penalty Because he would not wait until the expiration of his probation before returning to his sometime occupation of "numbers" collecting, George Hall, who is occasionally known as George Brown, 52, of 148 West Forty-third street, is in the workhouse today and will remain a looger there for ninety days. Justice Healy of Special Sessions, who presided at his trial Monday, sentenced him to three months on a second charge, revoked a thirty-day suspended term imposed Feb. 11, and allowed the two to run concurrently. This time, as in his previous case, the persons accused with him escaped the law's penalty. Hall and his wife, Mrs. Mary Hall, 42, were hailed into Magistrates' Court Jan. 24 on a possession charge. Mrs. Hall was dismissed and the husband given a suspended sentence later. The husband was again arrested five days later with Bernard Blair, 29, 219 West 120th street, at 144 West Forty-third street. Blair was given a suspended sentence as a first offender and Hall was ordered to prison when the court learned he had violated his parole.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News THIRD VICTIM CLAIMED IN TRIANGLE MYSTERY Oklahoma Preacher Loses $50,000 Libel Suit OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. May 6 (ANP)—A suit for $50,000 brought against the Black Dispatch and its editor, Roscoe Dungee, of this city, by the Rev. E. E. J. Caln, a local preacher, was thrown out of court last week after three years of litigation by order of Judge Wiley Jones. The case, in which for a time the Dally Oklahoma was a co-defendant with the Black Dispatch, grew out of the publication of a story concerning the outing of the Rev. Mr. Caln from the pulpit of a local church. At the trial other unsavvy details of the pastor's career were brought out. The local Oklahoma later was permitted severance. In dismissing the case on a demurrier, Judge Jones declared that he believed in freedom of the press. "No honest public servant should object to criticism," he said, "and the fact that a man may be pled or irritated by the publication of something relative to his activities does not necessarily infer that he has been libeled." The Judge expressed the opinion that newspapers should not be licensed to publish untruths, but he believed they were entitled to that character of freedom, which would permit them to expose the truth and the facts on all public questions. Girl Wins Place In Flying Club JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 6 (ANP)—Surviving a series of keenly contested elimination tests after submitting an excellent essay in a citywide competition with over 200 white girls, Miss Hazel V. Pleasant, 18, popular society girl of this city, was included in the selected 36 who formed what is known as the Girls' Flying Club. The contest was sponsored by the Jacksonville Journal, a white daily, and the award was a $300 flying course. Not being especially asked, Miss Pleasant did not reveal her racial identity, but gave her correct address, which was in the "colored district" of the city. The other contesting girls were very cordial to her, even inviting her to their homes to meet their parents. The aviation editor of this paper was especially impressed with her paper and highly commended her. In an interview with a local correspondent, he stated that he did not expect any colored girls to apply and, that if one of the girls chosen among the 36 for the club was colored, it was "unfortunate." Citizens are waiting to see whether or not the cordial treatment given Miss Pleasant will continue and if she will be permitted to remain a member of this club. The Jacksonville Journal has been known in the city for its policy of fair play and is supported by Negro residents. Miss Pleasant says she has always wanted to fly. During the time that Miss Bessie Coleman was in the city she so impressed her with her trends toward this field that Miss Coleman promised her special consideration. However, the tragedy of this aviatrix prevented Miss Pleasant from beginning training then. Suicide Effort Fails; Accident Kills Another Mrs. Alberta Collins, 27, 311 West 139th street, made an unsuccessful attempt to quit life via the gas route at 10:20 a. m. Thursday. She was saved by the timely arrival of Patrolman Brown of the West 155th street station, who summoned Dr. Rapp from Columbus Hospital and the emergency pulmotor squad of the Consolidated Gas Company, after he had been called to the house by the landlady, who smelled gas. When interviewed the day after, Mrs. Collins said she felt much better, but declined absolutely to give any motive for her rash act. Mac Brown, 56, 35½ West 133d street, was found dead in bed Saturday morning by his landlady, Ellen McKnight, who observed gas escaping from the wall jet. Dr. Herzog from Harlem Hospital pronounced Brown dead on arrival, and the police reported the death accident.

Perry Howard May Be Reinstated in Office WAHINGTON, May 6 (Capital News Service)—In the light of his second vindication of charges of bartering Federal patronage in Mississippi, present indications are that Perry W. Howard, national committeeman for Mississippi, acquitted by a jury at Meridian on April 26, will be reinstated to his position as special assistant to the Attorney General from which he was suspended during investigation, indictment and trial of the charges. It was reported that the reinstation will take place immediately. Friends of Mr. Howard, however, are urging him to resign immediately upon his reinstation. They feel that he could not continue in office without, unpleasant association with Mrs. Mabel Willebrand and her assistant, Miller McGilchrist, who are generally believed to have been unduly active in his prosecution.

"I just sprays 'em with chloroform," he said. "Then I stands back and waits. It takes only about five minutes, then they just flop off their roost and is all ready for my sack." Dorsey said he got the idea by watching the application of anesthetics while he was a patient for one year in a hospital. He was given a twelve-month workhouse term. Jury Deadlocks in White Lad's Trial Jury Deadlocks in White Lad's Trial Youth Must Face Court Again in Death of Bronxite A Bronx County jury failed to agree and return a verdict early Friday morning after deliberating five hours in the case of Isidore Brown, 17, white pugilist of 1490 Brook avenue, Bronx, who is accused of stabbing Walter Barnet, 37, 459 East 171st street, to death Aug. 15. Assistant District Attorney Moglesky announced Saturday that he would ask that ball be raised from $7,500 to $50,000 and a new trial prepared. Brown stands charged with second degree murder.

Sheriff Davenport-by, George Jones, who broke jail here. He has not been apprehended. --- Mystery shrouded the triple murder for nearly 24 hours after the bodies were found with stab wounds, contusions and fractures of the skull. No one had been seen to leave the apartment after the tragedy and the police could not trace suspicion to any outside person. Cheaters Cheated. The questioning of lodgers and friends of the dead persons finally disclosed their intimate relationship, the police said. They contend that Mrs. Stringfield was the common-law wife of Homer Paige, but was on intimate terms with Brown, while Brown had become enamoured of the Evans girl. Paige, however, was not in any way connected with the killings, the police averred. Upon the basis of these alleged facts, it is believed that Mrs. Stringfield came in the house and caught Brown in an uncompromising position with Miss Evans and that she struck her the blow on the forehead which fractured her skull and caused her death. The girl was found lying on a bed. She is thought to have been struck with an iron pipe. This precipitated a desperate combat between Brown and the landlady, it is surmised. Mrs. Stringfield was stabbed several times with a butcher knife. Brown was hacked with a hatchet. The furniture was in disorder. The woman's body was found prostrate on the kitchen floor. Brown's dead form lay in the bathroom. Death Weapons Found. The blood-stained iron pipe, hatchet and knife were found in the apartment. Upon first discovering that the girl was alive, Smith rushed out and called Patrolman Louis Christenson of the West 135th street station. Dr. Schradey arrived later from Knickerbocker Hospital, and the unconscious girl was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where she died. The other bodies were deposited in the hospital morgue. It was learned that Miss Evans came to New York two months ago from Richmond, Va., and resided at the Brooklyn Y. W. C. A., where her conduct obliged her to give up her room, it is said. She then came to Harlem to live with a cousin at the Edgecombe avenue address, but her staying out of nights caused the cousin to put her out, the police reported.

Church Co-operative movements in a new social present competitive system for profit, was answer to the question, "What is the task of a social order based on competition?" at Fellowship Conference on Social Problems Sunday at St. Philip's Parish House, 215 W Also, the Negro's problem in the economy seen to be fundamentally no different from Co-operative movements in a new social order, against the present competitive system for profit, was concluded to be the answer to the question, "What is the task of youth in the face of a social order based on competition?" at the Young People's Fellowship Conference on Social Problems held Saturday and Sunday at St. Philip's Parish House, 215 West 133d street. Also, the Negro's problem in the economic scheme of life was seen to be fundamentally no different from that of otter races. Principles of Socialism were clearly advocated, but the overthrow of the competitive system by force and bloodshed, as suggested by the Communists, was not countenanced. Rather would they achieve their aim through intensive co-operative experiments and, aided by the law of growth, finally abolish the present system. Open forums followed each session of the conference. The conference opened its first session Saturday afternoon with Abram L. Harris, assistant professor of economics at Howard University, as the principal speaker. His subject was "Competition, Economic Individualism and the Negro." Miss Enid F. Thorpe, president of the Fellowship, presided. Mr. Harris stated that the Negro's great mistake is in viewing economics as a racial instead of a general problem affecting humanity. The Negro cannot hope to raise his economic status through an attempt at "black capitalism," he said, because his "petty business enterprises" are not large enough and are no more than small financial institutions operated for individual profit. The white race and its corporations monopolize everything, he said, thus precluding any chance for really big Negro business. As a way out Mr. Harris declared that co-operative enterprises among Negroes would prove an immediate relief to their present economic situation and that this might in time lead to "black capitalism." Following the professor's address, classes were formed to discuss his topic under the leadership of James C. Samuels, whose class topic was "The Negro in Industry;" Wayne White, white, of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, whose subject was "Ethics in Industry;" the Rev. Louis H. Berry, rector of St. Philip's Church in Newark, who talked on "Christianity Versus Profits;" and C. A. Mead, whose class discussed "Economic Individualism for the Negro." Class leaders made their reports after a half-hour discussion. A six o'clock supper followed the afternoon session. Among those present was Gilbert H. Jones, president of Willberforce University. W. Herbert King of Union Theological Seminary led the Fellowship sing. LeRoy Berman, white, a professor at Columbia University, was the principal speaker at the Saturday night session. The topic was "Competitive Economies, the Basis of Modern Society," in which Mr. Bowman stated that America was born in a spirit of conquest, which has caused it to grow monetary-minded. "But this pattern need not remain permanent," he said. Brief addresses were heard from Miss Floria A. Pinckney, said to be the only Negro graduate of Brooklyn Labor College, who stated that workers need more fellowship on the job; and Joseph Fletcher, white, of the division of industrial relations of the National Council of Churches, who spoke on the labor movement in the South. The Ideal of Christ. At the 11 o'clock service Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Frank Gavin, white, professor at General Theological Seminary, preached on the subject of "Christianity and Competition." "Co-operation for Social and Economic Action" was the subject for the last session, by Reinhold Niebuhr, white, professor at Union Theological Seminary. running East on 136th street from Eighth avenue.

TIMES CONTEST The Constitution-- A Guarantee of the Liberty of the Individual By WELFORD WILSON Mt. Morris Junior High School First prize-winning oration in the New York Junior High Schools historical Championship, conducted at Town Hall Friday night by the New York Times and the National Oratorical Contest. Ever since the beginning of the world, the human race has been armed by long and hard experience to organize good and just government. In our study of history we had many different forms of population slowly evolved. It was the successful experiment the founded of this public republic that the civilized world by the education of a newer and broader idea that gave hope to all time generations—a government of the people, by the people and for the people. viduals brought before or on trial in United States courts. The first two amendments make it impossible for Congress to establish State religion or deny to any or religious freedom. It is impossible to deny freedom of speech and the press and the right to appeal to our Government for the redress of grace. In order to petition the Government we go to the S preme Court, the Supreme being the guanlain of the people and the Government will endeavor to bring about a satisfactory un derstanding of the grievances. The United States is just and democratic. Liberty is the corner- stone of the American nation, in- spiring the citizens freedom of spirit, freedom of the press, re- ligious freedom and equality of oppor- tions for all. The Government is the rights of the individual, and a citizen of his own State is the citizen of the whole Uni- tion. Congress has the rights of the individual and sex, at home and in the city. It insures liberty, justice, security and happiness. During the periods of settlement in America most colonies had forms of government consisting of chartered print by the British Gov't, and of a form of landlordship to carry out her part of the agreement, the Revolutionary War was fought, resulting in absolute freedom of the colonies. Now that they had had rights, that alien rule, the problem that confronted the leaders of the newborn nation was how to preserve that liberty and how to strengthen their present status as a nation. A critical period now followed. The Article of Confederation under which the country had been governed did not have the government of the individual for which they had fought. There was no union of the colonies and without union there was no strong national government. The rights of the states were held superior to the Federal Government. Free trade between States was imposed because there was no credit, little business and no money to pay the debt. But the Constitutional Convention was held and, after months of heated discussion and spirited debates, the great American Constitution was given to the world. Under this Constitution the American citizen enjoys vast privileges, on our credit is sound. We enjoy freedom of the individual and the rights of the individual are fully guaranteed. The first ten amendments are called the National Bill of Rights. The provisions of the first eight are concerned with personal rights and may be classified in two divisions: those that prohibit Congress from restricting the rights of the individual, those which protect indi- THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA CO. EASTERN DIVISION viduums brought before or on trial in United States courts. The first two amendments make it impossible for Congress to establish a religious objection or to any one religious objection to deny freedom of speech and the press and the right to appeal to our Government for the redress of a grievance. In order to petition the Government, we go to the Supreme Court being the cannibal of the government and the Government will endeavor to bring about a satisfactory understanding of the grievance. The third and fourth amendments prevent Congress from quartering soldiers in private houses without the consent of the owner and from allowing national officers from searching property except with a warrant describing the property to be confiscated. The last four amendments give accused persons an speedy trial by jury. Excessive ball or clash or cruel punishments are prohibited. United States an accused person is innocent until proved guilty. Our Constitution enables a poor man to have a lawyer to defend his innocence. Appeals to Young Americans. Lest the individuals should not be fully protected by these provisions, the Ninth Amendment says "that a constitution shall not be binding to deny or undervalue other rights retained by the people." To prevent the limiting of rights of the State and citizens, the Tenth Amendment declares that "powers not delegated to the Government by the Constitution and not prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the people or States, respectively." Thereafter the Supreme Court, with the aid of the Supreme Court, is the defender of States rights, showing no State to take undue advantage over another. At the time our Constitution was framed it was the only one in existence in which every citizen was guaranteed a voice in the Government. The frames believed that taxation without representation tyranny. Under our Constitution one has the wonderful privilege of suffrage in race, color, religion or sex. Everyone has the right to vote for those who are to make the laws which he is to obey. Not only has every individual the privilege of voting, but he also may hold office himself. He himself may become a legislator. Rich of poor, high or low, he may have the highest places in the Government. Now the Constitution has passed the experimental stage. It has become a fixture in the American people's mind and a worthy model for other nations to follow. As long as the American Constitution will live, so let it end.

SUGGEST 'OF NEGRO, AT DE PRIE Illinois Congressman and H eration of Women's Cl Among S The suggestion that colored selves as Negroes, but as Am whatever political party may d keynotes of addresses delivered New York City Federation of W Congressman and Mrs. Oscar L Walker Studio, Dark Tower, 100 SUGGEST DROPPING 'OF NEGRO,' 'COLORED' AT DE PRIEST DINNER Illinois Congressman and His Wife Honored by City Federation of Women's Clubs Robert S. Abbott Among Speakers The suggestion that colored people stop designating themselves as Negroes, but as Americans and that they adhere to whatever political party may dominate their locality, were the keynotes of addresses delivered at the first annual dinner of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs, given in honor of Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest, Sunday evening at the Walker Studio, Dark Tower, 108 West 136th street. Regarding political parties, Congressman DePriest agreed with Attorney's Cornelius W. McDougald, Herman Whaley and Major William H. Jackson, all Democrats, that the Negro would serve his best interests by voting with whatever party is dominant in his particular locality, but that nationally he does not think much of Democracy. Congressman DePriest announced that he will have 10,000 copies of the United States Constitution printed and distributed to Negro schools and organizations in order to better account the Negro with the rights to which he is entitled under it. Against All Segregation. Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, said that he is bitterly opposed to separation of the ruces in any department of life, and that biracial reciprocity is the master key to American progress. Among other instances given regarding the operation of this idea, he said that, of the 110 persons employed in the Defender newspaper plant, 55 are white. The result has been that, whenever a white employee left the Defender and he was in a position to do so, he hired a Negro to take his place. Mr. Abbott said that the race should do away with the terms "colored" and "Negro" and class themselves not under the name of a race, but that they should call themselves Americans and nothing else. Other speakers included Mr. and Mrs. O. Stanton Dpriest, son of the Congressman and his daughter-in-law; Mrs. Sadie Warren-Davis, Dr. Charles A. Butler, Atty Ruth Whitehead Whaley, Mamie Anderson Pratt, Marietta Critchlow, chairman of the executive board, and Atty. C. T. A. French. Deborah M. Lowe recited her own poem, "Consideration," dedicated to Congressman Dpriest. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the Federation, explained that the dinner was primarily in honor of Mrs. DePristil, who responded to the remarks briefly. Among those seated at the guest table, beside the speakers, were Pearl Jenkins, Mattie Hill, Robert C. Anderson, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, William Sanda, Mrs. E. P. Buthell, William Hairaton, and Mamie C. Graves. The Dark Tower proved much too small to accommodate the number that made reservations for the dinner and much confusion resulted. PHYSICIAN KILLED. LOUISVILLE, Ky.

E. Church, Edgecombe avenue and 137th street. Deliberately smashing the purely social ideals of fraternal bodies, and pleading for wholesale elimination of the racial inferiority complex, Eugene Washington Rhodes, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune and Assistant United States District Attorney of Pennsylvania, brought the annual exercises of the Guide Night movement to a close Sunday at St. Mark's M. E. Church, Edgecombe avenue and 137th street. The local vocational guidance of micron chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi Internity, sponsored the program. James Egert Allen is director. The observance began Thursday evening at a meeting with high school boys of the Hi Y Club at the West 135th street branch Y. M. C. A. Wilberforce University, made a short address on "Education and Youth." He urged intensive training for its cultural and material benefit. Music was offered at the meeting by the Choral Club under direction of Carl Dilton, Miss Vivian Collier, coloratura soprano; John Perry, tenor; and Arthur A. Young, pianist. Slated to speak on "Proper Appreciation of Values," the Philadelphia journalist disregarded his subject and outlined the pressing need for concerted action necessary to save the Negro from economic extinction. Where equal values and service are offered one should not hesitate in giving his support to his own race, he declared. Task for College Folk. Praising the organizing genius of Marcus Garvey, Mr. Rhodes urged imitation of the whites in merging business and forming co-operative bodies. This task, he asserted, is for the college trained men, who, if no motive other than the selfish one, should provide employment for the skilled and unskilled laboring classes. Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, president of DROPPING 'COLORED' BEST DINNER His Wife Honored by City Fed- ubs — Robert S. Abbott old people stop designating themericans and that they adhere to dominate their locality, were the at the first annual dinner of the Women's Clubs, given in honor of DePriest, Sunday evening at the 8 West 136th street. Funeral Rites Today for Colony Circle Director Succumbing Saturday at Flower Hospital after being a patient there for a week, Mrs. Mannie M. Sharperson Young, resident manager of the Unique Colony Circle of America, 252 West 135th street, will be buried following funeral rites at 1 p.m. today at the organization's assembly hall. Mrs. Young was one of the leaders of the U. N. I. A. when that organization was at its peak under Marcus Affleck. The Colony Circle was an infamous the Garvey group. It maintains chubbies and offices for other organizations. The deceased was born in Orangeburg, S. C. and came here twenty-five years ago. His second husband, Percy Young, died in 1927. Mrs. Young's immediate survivors are sisters, Mrs. Anna E. Gaillard, 314 West 135th street, and Mrs Cillius Hughes, 2 West 129th street. Interment will be made at Woodlawn. Popular Basement Speakeasy Raided A popular speakery in the basement of 109 West 136th street, next door to the Turf Club, was "knocked out" early Friday morning and Edward Robinson, 43, alleged proprietor, and thirty-nine men were arrested. The raid marked the first of many others in Harlem that morning by the vice squad. On the same morning seven alleged disorderly flats were raided. Robinson was booked on a Volstead charge after police said they found forty quarts of gin and fourteen pints of whiskey on the premises. Booker Smith, 27, 2412 Eighth avenue, and thirty-six others taken in the raid were charged with disorderly conduct, but dismissed by Magistrate McQuade in Heights Court Friday morning. Patrolman Thomas Hart of the Sixth Division was the arresting officer. LOWEST LUM DOORS — MOULDING FRONT and ENAIL J. T.

E. B. NATIONALLY, a tribute to mothers is paid once a year. Since 1914, when the late President Wilson issued an official proclamation, the day observed has been the second Sunday in May. Incidentally, though, the first Mother's Day was commemorated in 1908 in Philadelphia. A flower, that innocent bit of beauty, was chosen as a symbol for Mother's Day; A white carnation honored a deceased mother; a colored one, a living mother. Today, we do not search the city over for carnations; instead, we wear a flower. For the living mother there are also little remembrances such as greeting cards, candy and books. Take love, patience, hope, all that's pure and noble, and a few other sacred qualities, and bind them all together—that's Mother! Better still, believe the Jewish proverb which follows: "God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers." Your public expression of love and reverence for your mother—though she be dead or alive—should be made Sunday. Your personal expression, though, if made daily, might help to make this a better world in which to live.—T. E. B.

"I was sleepy and no matter how much I rested, or sat around I still felt worn-out. I had a bad taste in my mouth, and I ached all the time. "I felt like I needed a tonic, and as I had heard so much of Cardui and what it had done for others, I thought it would help me.

The following hints are, therefore, of utmost importance; 1. Brown the meat quickly and well at the start to enhance the flavor and appearance of the finished product and to seal in the juices at the start. 2. Cook the meat for a long time in the presence of moisture at a low temperature so that the steam may fibers and turn the cool connective tissue into a tender gelatinous substance. 3. Further enhance the flavor of the meat by adding vegetables to the liquor in which the meat is cooking. 4. Take care to carve the meat across the grain to overcome the stringy effect otherwise obtained. Household Hints MOTHER-OF-PEARL must never be cleaned with soap and water.

If you arms are very thin and bony or if they are heavy with layers of fat, wear long or three-quarter-length sleeves. There is no sense in displaying arms that detract from your appearance! If your arms are rough, wash them with hot water and a bland soap; rub well with oil or cold creams. One or two treatments will not suffice. You must be regular and thorough. You will find that vigorous exercise of the arms is the best muscle builder. It serves the twofold purpose of reducing the arms if they are too fat and of adding on flesh if they are too thin. If you are going to wear short sleeves, then get busy with your arms and, beautify them; otherwise, cover them up. Ladies!

If you were the only girl in the world, you could afford to make quick decisions, but since you are not, by a long shot, it's wiser not to be so hasty or you'll be asking how to get him back (after someone else has landed him).

SEVEN EIGHT 'CANNONBALL' DICK HURLS ROYALS TO VICTORY OVER THE BUSHWICKS Second Game Tied at 3-3 in Fifth When Heavy Downpour Drove Players and Fans to Shelter at Dexter Park Sunday BAUMGARTNER ALLOWS 8 HITS IN 1ST Biggest Crowd of the Season at Park Despite the Unfavorable Weather Which Has Attended All Games for the The fine hurling of "Cannonball" Dick Redding enabled the Brooklyn Royals to defeat the Bushwicks in the first game of a doubleheader at Dexter Park Sunday, 1 to 0. The second game ended in a five-inning 3 to 3 tie, a heavy downpour making further play impossible. About 9,000 fans, the biggest crowd of the season, were present despite the unfavorable weather conditions. The defeat administered by the Royal Giants was the first of the season for the Bushwicks, who had won their first five encounters. The Royals scored the winning run in the eighth inning. Redding opened that inning by flying out to Dean. See singled to center and advanced to third on Sam Brown's single to right. Brooks hit to Hobson, but the ball took a bounce to Hobson's left and he had to make a half turn that delayed his throw to the plate and See scored. Finley, the next batter, hit into a double play. The Bushwicks were in a position to tie the score in the ninth when Dean reached first on Sam Brown's bad throw and went to third on Carter's single to right. The first two batsmen had been retired and Paddy Smith, who was at bat, could do no better than his sharp to Redding, who tossed him out at first.

In the first inning Buck Lai walked and stole second, but Redding fanned Hobson and Lohr, while Gerner grounded out to See. Again in the third Lai opened with a triple, but Hobson and Lohr were easy outs and, after Gerner walked, Barnes fouled to See.

The first two made three safeties each. Evans getting the other two. The seven hits that the Bushwicks made were also confined to a trio of players, Carter and Lai getting three hits each, Barnes the Stark's home run over the right field fence in the fifth inning of the second game with Page on first enamection. The Bushwicks led at that time, 3 to 1. The homesters made one run in the first inning and two in the second. In the first Hobson singled and scored in Lohr's triple, while the second two hit a sacrifice fly enabled Eppie Barnes and Carter to tally. The scores: 10 Ed.

Amone friend and there felt at the passing every intelligent men that could blackest for us best it is men like Tad ultimate fairness circles placed in ours of the race of the rise to remark ing our tribute to the world of sp WHEN the body of T. A. Dormton (Tad) was laid to rest last Saturday afternoon the Negro lost one of the best friends he ever had in the world of sport on a newspaper. For many years cartoonist o nthe Evening Journal in this city, Tad carved for himself a wonderful name in the world of sport from the first day he entered the field in this city after his arrival from California. Looking back over the career of this man it is indeed strange how his success has failed to impress so many of his brothers on the metropolitan dailies. Tad's only formula for carving the name he did was to at all times be fair in his writings and in his drawings. The cartoons which he drew of Negroes carried a deep sense of humor when that was his idea, and not in the memory of man can it be recalled that Tad ever resorted to ridicule in his dealings with the doings of Negroes in the world of sport. We believe that no greater tribute can be paid to any man than to say that he was always fair. Tad enjoyed wonderful opportunities in his calling to join the Negro hating element, but he was a genius fired with the art of a real creator, and the time which so many of his cronies wasted trying to ridicule "the man farthest down" was employed to such good advantage there was no hypocrisy in the tears shed at his bier. And it was fitting that the race should be represented at his funeral, and this by one of the men who can say to the world with emphasis that T. A. Dornton was one of the squarest white men that ever recorded the doings in the world of fistiana and supplemented his writings with those wonderful drawings which were in themselves stories without words. Unmoved by the shouts of the mob, he never once strayed from the path of TRUTH and JUSTICE, and it must have been in the nature of a silent tribute to his memory that that paper which he served so well should on the very day of his funeral print a cartoon of a number of Negro fighters, suggesting that they were indeed superior in their day. It took a brave man to defend Jack Johnson and tell of his worth as a fighter at a time when it appeared as if there existed a conspiracy to down Johnson because of the ease with which he whipped the best the white race could produce. Tad did this, and Jack Johnson was not ungrateful. Among the mourners he stood at the bier of his late friend and there was no question of the regret which Johnson felt at the passing of our friend. Those regrets are shared by every intelligent Negro in this country and thousands of white men that could appreciate the work of such as the departed. When things look blackest for us because of the unfair attitude of those in power it is men like Tad who supply that faith which we have in the ultimate fairness of the American people despite the many obstacles placed in our way. To his family, friends and the members of the race of which he was such an outstanding member we rise to remark that we could not see his passing without adding our tribute to one of the finest examples that ever honored the world of sport with his work and presence. Our Journalistic Parasites Our Journalistic Parasites which Arthur E. of these columns he was elected presi ded a touch so r effers, mounteban shout reason we ties in Negro jou n one newspaper The modesty with which Arthur E. Francis, who has been a special contributor to these columns for the past few years, acknowledged that he was elected president of the American Tennis Association carried a touch so refreshing in these days of notoriety seekers, bluffers, mountebanks, etc., in our world of journalism, it is not without reason we are forced to comment on a phase of the activities in Negro journalism which has acted as a cancer on more than one newspaper of color during the past quarter of a century or more. With well becoming dignity Francis has maintained his connection with this department of The Amsterdam News, and, although he has contributed much at times, like the splendid, upstanding individual he is, he has never resorted to that pose assumed by so many. Mr. Francis, like other men of his high character, has never tried to make it appear to his friends that he is busily engaged in work at The Amsterdam News office, and he never advises his friends to call him here, so as to carry through the deception. He has never posed as a member of the staff with influence to further the interests of his friends through this paper, nor has he ever seen fit to hide the fact that he is engaged in another line of honest endeavor, making his contributions but a sideline. It is a most noticeable fact that men resorting to these things lack both physical and moral courage, and like their kind it is only by scheming methods and a "yes-man" ability that they maintain what little hold they manage to get on a newspaper. Sometimes such men also manage to worm their way into the good graces of those in power, but it has never failed that when they ascend to power themselves to see them come tumbling down to assume their old role, the only one they are competent to fill—of hangers-on on the outer fringe of the game. Like the worms eating at the roots of certain plants they should be crushed. They can recite with all the case in the world those things necessary for the improvement of those who have labored to lay the foundation which made it possible for them to earn the measly stipend which they manage to eke out by divers methods. Lacking the necessary qualifications despite their claims of superiority, it is a most noticeable fact that they lack the courage—the guts to make a bold try in the game. Personally we have never had any use for these leeches, and if there be any whom the cap fits we would more than welcome a physical encounter with them. We have never yet seen one of them with sufficient courage to personally question us despite their knowledge of how we feel in the matter. And so it is with unusual pleasure we turn to the gentlemen of the American Tennis Association to say that their choice could not have been better. A son of estimable parents and one of three sons that have made their way without having to resort to snail-like qualities, Arthur E. Francis is deserving of all the confidence placed in him by his associates. With that energy for which he is noted, the common-sense with which he is blessed and the ability to carry forward his work honestly. Francis should be given the undivided support of the members of the association, the officers of which are made up of some of the finest men of color in the East.

FRANCIS, Whose Writings on Tennis and Basketball Appear Regularly in These Columns, Was Elected President of the American Tennis Association, the Body Which Has Done so Much Here in the East to Keep Up the Interest in the Fascinating Court Game. BROWN TAKES EXCEPTION TO RATINGS OF TENNIS ASSOCIATION BY EDGAR G. BROWN. (National Champion 1922-23-28). Words cannot express my disgust for a system of rating which results in such hodgepodge as released last week by the American Tennis association. It would be slekening if it were not for its generally recognized and traditional social partiality, which is always rather nicely embellished by a promising amazing absence of a conference with the first principles of lawn tennis. Suffice to mention the asininity of rating Ted Thompson, twice national champion, finalist at Bordenton last August, and a week before a seminalist in the New York State, as seventh for 1928 and below such local champs" as Prof. Lester Granger, E.D. Downing, D.D. S., and Sylvester Smiley, S.D. S., but before the quarter finals of the National by Allison Davis, an unknown in tennis annuals. Mr. Davis, the Baltimorean, went out in a blaze of glory in the quarter finals just about two hours after his great triumph over his erstwhile Washington rival. Hudlin Overrated. And how sweet is this gem of purest rav obtuseness! Richard Hudlin, who went down ignominiously in the tournament before A. Graham of Cleveland (put in 19th place by the rating committee), is given No. 3 spot. He is a "driver" and I like him; but again I say, in spite of this new but unmerited favoritism, he appears rather at a well-known national may recall his nibib after a clean defeat by Graham's sound tactics and beautiful strokes. It is unimportant, but I wonder how J. Mercer Burrell, attorney-at-law, assistant secretary of the A. T. A. and patball scramble of unenvious distinction, finds himself the 23d best in the country and four paces high in Jersey compatriot, Kenneth Worde. There was no explanation in last week's release. The fact that Allison Davis is rated above A. Graham, who put out Dick Hudlin. No. 3, of course, is shrouded in even deeper mystery. The failure of Talley Holmes and his cantankerous fellow citizen John is the source of the silence in the singles portends a rather gratifying and hopeful future for the coming players. How Duncan of Indianapolis, who all but stopped Ted Thompson in the first round of the nationals in one of the best matches of the whole tournament, omitted from mention speaks of itself. The 1929 standing as I see it: First, Ted Thompson, New York; second, C. W. Lewis, Texas (Prairie View College); third, Eyre Saith, New York; fourth, Reginald Weir, New York College; fifth, A Graham, Ohio; sixth, Augustine Ogunyemi, nine States; seventh, California; seventh, Hudlin, Missouri; eighth, Douglas Turner, Illinois University; ninth, John L. McGriff, Virginia; 10th, S. Duncan, Indiana; 11th, Allison Davis, Hampton Institute; 12th, Alfred C. W. Purlance, Baleh 13th, C. W. Purlance, North Carolina; 14th and 15th, the Jackson boys, North Carolina H. S. This rating is not based on the number of tournaments, closed or open, participated in by these players, but on my personal contact, tennis talks, competition and observance of the court, practice and ability on the court—a belief that in a two-out-of-three-set match Ted Thompson could at all times take each and every one of them into camp with the possible exception of Lewis, who has never appeared in our tournament play, but has the greatest advantage of play on the counts of Prairie View College all the year round. In this list, too, Saitch, Weir, Graham and Stocks must be included; but few of the others can interest this youngster when he is at top form. Graham and Weir have by far been the most scientific, all-round game—fore and back hand top spin drives, sound overhead American service, orthodox volleying and a variety of strokes, well timed and executed, giving the desired change of pace so necessary to walk the Walker and the Jackson boys are going to be heard from this year. C. W. Furlonge is a most splendid example of how one far past his 30s may still be a formidable tournament player, provided he is normal physique and remains a student of the game. George Hill, the McLaughlin cannonball server of New Jersey, is not considered among the better players because of his failure to develop a backhand. Even though he won his service regularly, he could not beat an ordinary opponent who consistently battered this weakness. Certainly he can never hope to be a real champion any more than Gerald Patterson, in spite of all his spectacular but uncontrolled speed.

Boy Sets New Record LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 6 (A, N, P.)—A new record for the high jump was hung up before cheering crowds at the Coliseum when Darby Jones, colored track star of Polytechnic High School, cleared the bars at 6 feet 21 inches. This tall dark boy now the tallest in the nation at 23 by Turner, white star of Hollywood High School. His mark was 6 feet 1 inch. GYM EXHIBITION AT CARLTON Y Much Promise Shown by Athletes of Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. Under the auspices of the Physical Department of the Carlton Avenue branch Y. M. C. A., a gymnastic exhibition was held last Tuesday evening. The entire program, under the direction of Dangerfield, physical director, was in high spirits and big success. The program included a flag drill by cadet and junior boys of the Boys' Department, who numbered 35, three boxing bouts, parallel bar work, high bar work, high jumping and basketball boys and a basketball game between Coach girls' team representing Concord Baptist Church and a team from the Elizabeth Community Center in New Jersey. The first event on the program was the flag drill in which the boys participated. This was a beautiful drill led by Mr. Dangerfield, the physical director, and for which Miss Enid Hinds acted as accompanist. The boys, bedecked in white suits with flags on both shoulders, perched in rhythmic style. For the best showing of the prizes will be given to John Williams and James Sweeney. In the high jumping contest the spectators were treated to a thrill. The boys, separated into two groups, cadets and juniors, kept the onlookers keyed up to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the agile way in which they hoisted themselves over the cross bar. John Williams was the best jumper for the cadets and Louis Dissel for the juniors. The boxing bouts were put on to delight the crowd. First, there was one between David David and "Kid" Bartlett, another between Joe Bryant and Frank Lee and the last between Samuel Haynes and Joe Johnson, the coming heavyweight who has made such a big hit fighting under the auspices of the B. M. T. employees. The gymnastic team, made up of Walter Smith, Donald Smith, Marc Grant, Oliver Perkins, Edgar Williams, Dalton Hinds, George Marshall, Dalton Nurse, Glarence Forster, Herbert Moor, Lloyd Forster, Carl Van Excel, Juan Domeneck, and Harold Blackman, then performed on the parallel bars. Those deserving special mention (for their splendid work on the bars are: Walter Smith. Marcus Grant, Clarence Foster, Harold Blackman and Mr. Dangerfield, whose work was a marvel to behold.

Cockburn Trophy Committee Meeting in Philadelphia A meeting of the Cockburn Trophy Committee is scheduled for Friday evening in Philadelphia, Pa. This is the annual meeting, at which the plans for holding the matches are made. The contests this year will be held at New York City. It marks the fourth contest for the beautiful trophy, presented by Capt. Joshua Cockburn, for competition between teams representing the tennis associations Pennsylvania and New York. The annual matches alternate between the three states, starting in New York City in 1926, Plainfield, N. J., in 1927, Philadelphia, Pa., in 1928, and now again in New York City this year. Representatives of the New York Tennis Association have won all three contests, the method of play being the two states playing between themselves for the right to challenge the present holders of the cup. The games are played on succeeding days and the winner determined by the best six of a possible 11 matches. The joint committee of the Avon Tennis Club and the New York Tennis Association is working hard to under the auspices of the Avon for the benefit of the association. By the enthusiasm shown thus far, success seems assured; nevertheless, the executives of the association are not happy and fans to put forth every effort to make it a big event in tennis. Payne K.O.'d at Olympia George Hoffman and Lou Bara fought a 10-round draw in the Olympia A. C., Saturday night.

The meet has reached an enormous size in events and participating athletes that a number of events that require heat will be run off in the low at 10 o'clock. They are the 100-yard and 220, hurdles, high and low jump. Only the finals will be held in the afternoon. From Lincoln University, Missouri, there came an entry blank with the name of George Brown, a star field man, whose specialty is the javelin and disc. Another long list came from Morgan College. Among the important high schools will be B. T. Washington High of Norfolk, Va.; Huntington High of Newport News; Manassas, Bordentown; Armstrong High of Washington, and James City Co. Training School. Other high school entries are expected to arrive late Saturday afternoon. In the college group there will be Morgan College, Howard University, Lincoln, Union, Lincoln University, Mo., Hampton, Va., State, St. Paul A. & T., W. Va. State and a few others of lesser importance. American Negro League Schedule One of the most important events of the day will be when the collegiate mile relay is ended, of the teams mile relay is completed, of the perfection in order that they might gain a leg on the beautiful Robert S. Abbott trophy. Hampton and Lincoln won at the Penn Relays, but in the Normal School Championship of America and Lincoln in a division of the collegiate mile relays. These two teams will match speed and cleverness great. We have a great team of Howard University and Union University should not be forgotten. In the mile relay this year points will be given and, in addition, medals for second and third places. Points will count for four places. Coach Rainy and his charges from Chester, Pa., came down to the seventh annual meet and took practice, and it seems from all indications that they are in a fair way of repeating the act. In the mile Coach Rainy has a quartet, in the quarter mile he some of the ones to be found with Seven and in the high jump Snoop is no slouch. Union University has an addition to its team in Bob Coles, whose reputation is a mile and two-miler has pit fear in many a stout heart who is not afraid to perform, but remember Lincoln's count of milers. In Slim Booker, Union has a dash man and broad jumper who is liable to jump out of the pit. Amputated from the able leadership of Union Joe Baldwin, is taking times calmly and working hard. The may team set a record up at the team relays. Dutz Baker, who performs so ably in the high jump and vault, is back after an absence of a year to reclaim lost honors. The team shows, so that they won't be in a hurry when it is all over. A new feature at the meet this year will be the new concrete grand-stand which seats 1,600 comfortably. This big stand will enable spectators on without moving out of their area. A participants section is also used for all contestants, in order that the field may be kept clear for action. As visitors and spectators are expected from all sections, appropriate entertainment has been planned that the day will be filled with ac- Vacarelli and Silvers Heading Olympia Card Vacarelli and Silvers Heading Olympia Card Tony Vacarelli of Harlem and Pal Schlers of Brooklyn were signed yed yesterday to meet in the feature bout of ten rounds at the Olympia A.

It is believed that a new era was ushered into local tennis circles with the installation of the newly elected officers of the New York Tennis Association. Led by Arthur E. Francis, president, the new regime has set in motion plans to draw players and fans nearer to the ruling body of the game in New York. A naguration address the new president noted that "it was his belief that greater support and co-operation was necessary from players and fans, if the newly elected officers wore to advance the cause of better tennis condition in the Empire City, and the immediate need of the association was to interest the rank and file in the work of the organization. He further stated if that could be accomplished, support and co-operation would follow." At a recent meeting of the new executive committee, with every member present, a wide program of preparations was needed, the next meeting of the association, which will be held on Monday evening, May 13, at the New York Urban Association. The following were the officers installed: Arthur E. Francis, president; Mrs. Susie Madison, vice-president; Everard Edmund, secretary, 69 West Village; assistant secretary; Robert A. Wood treasurer. Together with the officers, the following constitute the executive committee: Dr. T. E. Hanson, Gerald E. Spooner, L. E. Dowell, L. E. Spooner, John W. Stevenson and R. L. Vickers.

NEXT Sunday Hillsdale, headed by Oscar Charleston, will be at Protectory Oval to engage the Lincoln Giants in deadly combat in a hectic struggle for the championship of the new Negro American League championship. At no time since the beginning of modern leagues has the interest in the game been so acute as the present. John Henry Lloyd and Oscar Charleston, managers of the Lincoln Giants and Hillsdales, respectively, are two names to conjure with in baseball. Charleston is still going strong as a player, while Lloyd, taking advantage of an opportunity to prolong his usefulness in the playing end of the game, will remain on the sidelines until duty calls him to the front. The future of our baseball depends on our performance of the past. Two of the best known ball players of modern times will be before you when the Lincolnls and Hillsdales clash next Sunday and both of them are leaders. Experienced in the rudiments of the game, both of them will bring up all of the past and use their present experience to win these games. Charleston will bring over some of the greatest players of the present day. Judy Johnson, Holloway, Dallard, Dhigho, Lewis, Cooper, all members of the Hillsdale. No better lineup in the league, if they get together. Lloyd will depend on the boys who have been with him all this season and part of seasons before. His players are beginning to know him and are gaining confidence in his leadership. No better evidence could have been produced than, when the Cuban Stars were always in the lead last Sunday, the Lincolnls kept playing as much as to say, "to— with your lead, we'll get it." As long as the Lincoln Giants show the spirit of conscientious ball playing as they have and are now doing, they will have our support — win, lose or draw.

SEVEN STRAIGHT FOR HAVANA SOX Will Meet Bacharach Giants the Coming Week in Hard Games The Havana Red Sox of Cuba added seven more straight victories to their list this past week, defacing Aborn College Lane College (twice), Chattanooga College (three times), and Chattanooga in the opening of a four-game series. The Havantians are due at Evansville, Ind., where they meet the Reichart Giants on Sunday and Monday, May 12 and 13, of the towing event. They will meet the meeting Greenville and Bristol of Tenn.; Marion, S. C.; Farmville, Bedford, Roanoke of Va., and others on their way to Washington, D. C. for their official northern opening, meet the doubleheader, on Sunday, May 24. The Havana Red Sox aggregation's chances of returning again to the south on their way home in September as one of the greatest assembly of colored ball players in the country and "Champions of the North" are exceptionally bright. The Hilldales managed by the great Oscar Charles-Ion in the new American Negro League, has already taken a 15 to 1 lacing from the Bushwicks (white), in Brooklyn, and the Bacharach Giants, managed by the popular Ben Taylor, has taken a 16 to 2 walloping from the Jersey City Red Sox (white), both of these white teams considered easy opponents for the Cuban representatives to take over; in fact, the Cubans had no trouble in defeating the Jersey City nine last fall in both ends of a double bill, scores 4 to 3 and 12 to 2, and play at Jersey City again in a double header on June 2. The Red Sox have been equipped with new uniforms for the second times this season, as well as new sport jackets, and make one of the easiest appearing ball clubs in the East. Syd Pollock of North Tarrytown, New York, is handling all their bookings. Scores of past week's games follow: At Alcorn, M.I., - Havana Red Sox At Jackson, Tennessee—Havana Red Sox 10, Lane College 1; Havana Red Sox 12, Lane College 2.

Mello's Defeats May Cost Him Chance With Dundee Mello's Defeats May Cost Him Chance With Dundee Al Mello's startling defeat at the hands of Gorilla Jones in Madison Square Garden last Friday night may deprive him of his chance to ascend the wolverweight throne. He also accepted a gamble of 680,000 lbs of defending champions: Mello in Boston on June 24, and signed articles of agreement the --- other day. Melo was expected to affix his signature to a contract upon his return to Boston. But Promoter Eddie Mack, was easily against Jones, and it was learned from one close to him that Melo would be dropped as Dundee's next opponent. Jackie Fields or Jack Thompson. AL BROWN, Who Daily Mounts His Steed in Paris, Will Come Into His Own Upon His Return to This Country When He Is Signed to Meet the Winner of the La Barba-Chocolate Bout. We Hope Al Is Not Riding to a Fall in the Bantamweight Division. Not Riding to a Fall, We Hope MELLO TOOK BAD BEATING FRIDAY "Gorilla" Jones Upsets the Dope by Defeating Dundee's Conqueror A shower of gloves from all directions—hooks, jabs, uppercuts, crosses, pokes, jolts—but Al Mello absorbed and survived it rather courageously. His head was bloody, but unbowed, he clutching that Gorilla Jones handle him in the mature tenound fractas at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. The New England weltersweight cavorted about the ring minus his fist, umbrella. Perhaps he doesn't possess the blocking blows with his arms, Mello used his purnacious features and Herculian body as a shield or "umbrella." The result was, when the fist bell was knocked down, he reduced to a state akin to exhaustion. He took severe punishment in at least six rounds, according to ring-ups. Mello dropped Al to his knees, or for a knee with a short, snappy righthander above the ear in the third stanza. An overhand left hook deposited Mello on another count of the same dumbbell. After retreating for two minutes Jones maneuvered inside one of Mello's awkward leads and speared the other with a jab, just below the left temple. The punch hurt Al a bit, and gave Jones confidence. Thereafter the colored lad was the aggressor, excepting for the punches that Mello provided without causing any noticeable damage. The first knockdown in the third clinched the bout for Jones. It furried conclusive evidence that Mello was highly likely lacking in the proper physical condition required for competitive effort. Jones proceeded to discharge blows that resulted in the type known in Fistiana. Only Mello's shock-absorbing qualities enabled him to escape the ignominy of a knockout defeat. The bouts were the first, sixth and tenth. He landed some telling blows, particularly in the last frame when he jarred Jones from the righthand righthanders. He didn't have enough strength left to take advantage of his foe's weakened condition, however. Hence Jones recovered and continued. At the finish Mello was barely able to stand on his feet. He couldn't have lasted through another round. Broadway Bouts Called Off There was no boxing show at the New Broadway Arena on Monday night. Matchmaker Tony Martello, the former six-round bouts and five four-round events, announced he had been compelled to cancel his show upon receipt of information from the State Athletic Commission that Nandee Williams of the tight heavyweight was under suspension here and so was ineligible to box. Tassi was to have engaged Lee Williams in the stellar six-round bout, and without time at his disposal he was to manage a selfless substitute bout. Matchmaker Martello called off the entire show.

LLOYD STRATEGY FAILED TO STOP CUBAN GIANTS SUNDAY The persistence of the Lincoln Giants, coupled with the strategy of Manager Lloyd, failed to subdue the Cuban Stars last Sunday in their first appearance of 1929 at the Protectory Oval and the tribe of Keenan met their first defeat of the season. Rain stopped the game at the end of the eighth inning with a score of 8 to 6 in favor of Cubans. Nip Winters, hurling for the Lincoln Giants, was nipped for 12 hits. In the first inning after Alphonso filed to right field, Perez singled and Soles scored, and Soles was held on third; Curca, next Cuban to the bat, hit a smashing drive over the right field wall for a homer, shoving Soles over the plate nend of him; Fabrus filed to Gray in center, retiring the The Cubans made three runs in the fourth. Alphonso started the frame with a two-bagger; an error by Yancey and singles by Curea. Fernandez and Gisintainer put three more runs in the fourth. The team's thematic precision for scoring every fourth inning, the Cubans waited until the eighth and added two more runs to their total on Curea's single, Fabre's walk, Fernandez's single and an error by Smith. The Lincoln trailed the Cubans with dogged persistence all through the game. Somewhat handcapped by the game, the Lincoln fought hard to send Nip through to victory. A base on balls to Scales, singles by Roilo and Yanacey, a double by Gray, Scales' second gave Lincoln three runs, tying the score. They scored in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings again tying the score after the fourth. The Lincoln were showing a commendable spirit of aggressiveness when the game was called in the first half of the ninth innings on account of the rain.

Dear Rollo:—Just a line to say that the rain did not completely wash out the game between the Lincoln Giants and the Cuban Stars at the Catholic Protectory Oval last Sunday afternoon. As you will see by glancing at tote bags in this paper, the boys put on a neat, eight innings. Too, quite a good sized crowd gathered to witness the game. "We say these things to you because your summary of the standing of the American Negro Baseball League, which you as secretary sent us enough by a delivery route, suggested that our team be washed out by Juppe Pluve who has been cutting up for the past five Sundays. Better luck next time, W. In passing we would also like to rise and ask if you are against directing your master to the Sport Editor. You see, Rollo, ever since these sundown sheets were able to rise above the milk and water stage they have conducted departments with the idea of expediting matters. At time communications or sport editor can be delayed in action, but if friend 8. E. is not disappointed when a matter that would have received his immediate attention is delayed in reaching his desk? Dame Fortune has cast us in the role of a "public relations counsel" on many occasions, and "Chas Washington of your own publication and Frank Young of the Defender and Brother Gibson of the Afro-American and all the other boys in the game note that we have observed this little rule. We know that Clark on the New York Age, although right around the corner from us, is a stalker for this little ethical thing, Clark having observed the rule during the years he has been a "public relations counsel" with the Lincoln Giants. Honest, Rollo, if you had something for the oafs and wanted it to get into the sport columns of the New York Times, Sun, Tribune, Telegraph or any of the newspapers come on now, old top, wouldn't have same to the sporting editor? We are doing it all the time. He, he, hum, hah. Gnight, Rollo, no harm meant, old-timer.—The Editor.

Taylor, a charming colored girl from Chicago. Negroes of every "degree," from ebony to almost ivory, attended the wedding, and formed the greater part of the assembly. A number of players from "Porgy" were present and the congregation included well-known colored musicians, such as John Payne of交配ed orchestra fame, Ivan H. Browning, the "Harmony King," and George Dewey Washington, who acted as best man. After the Harmony reception was held at Payne's house. held at Mr. Frye's house. Mr. Richardson has engaged to Mrs. Richardson he came to England to sing "Roll Away Clouds" in "Virginia," and intended to return to the United States to marry her within a few months, but owing to his success in London a wedding here was decided upon. - The honeymoon will be spent in London, and will not interfere with the opera. He will be in Palace. His bride will be in the audience at tonight's performance. "Porgy's" Star Writes Sunday, April 21, 1929. Friend Romeo: Here we are in London town. Would have written you sooner, but have been quite busy trying to count this English money. Boy, these crowns and guineau, half crowns, florins, two and harpony bits have near about 100 of your good friend wife along with me to keep from giving a five-pound note away as a diploma or something. It's a great joke to watch the "Porgy" bunch when they get paid off on Saturday afternoon. They look at the money on the right in the light. I wonder have I got too much or too little here?" I understood the money pretty fair when I landed here, but the longer I stay the dumber I get. We had a fine trip coming over. Good weather in children. The weather was rather cloudy and the waves rough. The wife had my kid played the rail once or twice, but I stood the gait like a regular sailor. At one time, when Mrs. Wilson was rather slick, I asked if there was a girl to get her. She said, "Yes, some land." Wednesday morning, April 8, we left S. S. Columbus, took a smaller heat for Plymouth and thence to train to London. We opened at His Majesty's Theatre on Wednesday night, April 10, to a large and enthusiastic audience. The show went very well. We received twelve curtain calls. We were impressed that doesn't mean a thing. When Engee O'Nell's "Anna Christie" opened here some time back, with Miss Pauline Lord, they nearly tore up the theatre in their enthusiasm, and the play lasted just six weeks. Next morning the London critics were quite fair with the whole show. They split the ticket on me, some saying I was rather weak and others praising my work to the skies. Of course, the critics didn't bring in the old alibl. In the first place I was advertised as an "ex-mailman." That didn't help my case any. And then we all had to slow down in our work and enumerate more clearly so that we might be better understood. And in trying to comply with these demands I lost a great deal in interpretation. I am gradually becoming accustomed to working with nonprofessional artists and show their appreciation by yelling "Bravo, etc." at the end of every performance. I am not in the position yet to say how long we will stay. We are doing fine business and the people seem to understand us better as we go along. I am going at all the time. Eddie Hunt was in to see me the other day and he is doing fine. Looks well. Tiny Ray, with the three Eldders, are up in Edinburgh, Scotland. I received a letter from him the day before. Peggy and Winkler Richardson are in musical show entitled "Virginia," and doing well, and George Dewey Washington is a sensation at the Palladium. Paul Robeson came down to see us, but I missed him. He had some concert work to do Germany. I had perfect time when I gave a crucial here. George Garner, the Chicago tenor, was of great assistance when we landed. I was visited back stage last Saturday by Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg, the author of "Taboo," a play that was produced in New York some time ago to brought Paul Robeson to London. I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Cavendish Morton, a prominent actor and director, who worked with and knew personally the entire Dahoney group that was over here in 1906 with him. He was a great friend and regular to Jessie Shipp, Alex Rogers, Theodore Funky, Able Mitchell, Will Marion Cook. My wife and boy and myself had dinner with him and his two sons on Saturday after the matinee, and we had a real old Negro Show with them. We watched Cole and Johnson's "Trip to Coon Town" on up to "Poryx." He also knew Ernest Hogan. After dinner we sang all of the "In Dahoney" songs—"Jonah Man" "On Emupuncture Day," "Dahoney Queen" "Treadway in Dairyland" "Cole and Johnson" and you should have seen me trying to do bart Williams' dance. It was a wow. I really enjoyed every bit of it because I really appreciate the hard work the old-timers had to do to make the path a reality. I was of us who are com- can't realize what men like George Walker, Bert Williams, Jessie Shipp, Bob Cole, Ross曼 Johnson, Billy B. "VIRGINIA" STAR WED IN LONDON, ENGLAND Wilson Tells of Impressions While in Europe Johnson, Ernest Hogan and others connected with them have meant to Negro show business. I know this sounds like a lot of musky sentiment, but I'm a great balleer in scattering some flowers when their fragrance can be inhaled by those living; to give a smile on my return to the States to many of the prominent old-timers, if I may be permitted to call them such. Enclosed you will find an article published in the Daily Express, London's leading newspaper, that caused quite some comment, and I have received many fine letters about it. I guess that's about all now, Romeo, so regards to all the staff and all Harlem in general. Sincerely, F. H. WILSON, His Majesty's Theatre, London, Eng. "Blackbirds" Celebrates a Year on Broadway LEW LESLIES "Blackbirds," the fast stepping colored extravaganza, will celebrate a full year's run on Broadway at the Elfinga Theatre on Thursday evening, May 9. The revue opened at the Liberty Theatre on May 9, 1925, and has since been playing to capacity audiences, a record unparalleled in Negro musical shows in the Times Square sector. The history of "Blackbirds" is unique. While the production of two critiques, the production was generally frowned upon by the press of New York, Mr. Leslie, however, had great faith in his show. He kept rehearsing the chorus girls at a terrific pace. He made changes in the running order of the show and introduced several new skirts, meanwhile keeping the greater portion of the show intact. Because of the unfavorable notices, business was poor at the start. Friends urged Leslie to close the show and save him himself money, centrally in the doggie court, than ever that Broadway audiences would like "Blackbirds," kept on to prove his point. The first four weeks were the most discouraging from a business standpoint ever faced by a producer. The tide turned in its weekly business. Week 10 was kept capacity was reached in the eleventh week of its run. It has kept to capacity ever since. But Leslie was not satisfied with this. He saw opportunities for improving the show and kept making improvements. He produced Johnny Huguels, celebrated pantomimist, in the cast. Only this spring he added Eddie Rector and staged a new choral operetta based on the song hit of the show, "I Can't Give You Love." He also added that he is still busy with his chorus, arranging speedier and more novel steps. The tremendous success of "Blackbirds" was evidenced as far back as last October, when demands for bookings on the road became insistent. The team, with the company with Harriet Cowlay as the star, the show opened in Boston and ran there for three months, a record. It stayed an equally long time in Philadelphia, and is now playing one-week stands in the East to big business. The company is scheduled to go to London and Paris in June for the summer. Three outstanding Negro stars have been made by "Blackbirds". They are Adelaina Hall, Alda Ward and Tim Moore, none of whom was very well seen in Low Leslie's show. brought Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh, co-authors of the production, to the attention of Broadway. Their songs, "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", "Diga Diga Don", "Doin' the New Low League", "The Man that Man" and "Dinkle" are sung and played in every part of the civilized world. Lew Leslie, of course, is the happiest bird in the world. "Blackbirds" has earned him a houndstooth tune, but even more so because the faith in his brailchild has been justi- Robeson Back in London From Vienna Triumph (From The London Sketch) Fresh from his triumphs in Vienna, Prague and Budapest, Robson, the giant Negro singer, has returned to give a concert at the Albert Hall on Saturday. "The people of Central Europe already know about me," he told the Daily Sketch, for "Ole Man River" was on all their gramophones. I think they half expected I was going to sing them jazz, for they had had the real Negro music, the spirituals." Prague audiences, among whom boy and girl students were numerous, paid enthusiastic tribute to "Weeping Mary" and "Water Boy," while the number of British people who attended Robson's concerts in Vienna and Budapest caused him much surprise. "I suppose they read about me in the English newspapers," he said, "and for the people of the country I seemed to stand for something interesting out of America," like Euricau (NWN) and Dresler. Yes, I know Dresler. He is a very clever fellow." Asked if he visited the Viennese cabarets, Mr. Robeson said: "Yes, indeed, and I loved their gay waltzes as much as I loved the Tzigane music in the Budapest Robeson stayed in the Hungaria Hotel. "light on the Danube," he said, "but I never saw the river as blue as it is sung." Another Soldier of Fortune Turns Actor Soldier, miner, prizefighter and actor.

The bride and groom are spending a few days as guests of Lady Cook at her town home, Holland Park. Layton and Johnstone gave a number of concerts on the Continent this week and, as usual, were a tremendous success.

He opens at the big Paladium and will be on the bill with the Four Hermony Kings and the Three Eddies. George Deway Washington is still at the Paladium and is appearing nightly at the Kit Kat Club in Pleasantly. He is still a real sensational success and is the talk of the West End in London. The slogan in town is: "Have you heard George Dewey Washington, the biggest sensation in London in years?" Mrs. Maurine M. Browning and little daughter, Haroldine, will arrive in New York on the S.S.

(By The Associated Negro Press)—A slim, attractive, brown girl, with a clear, resonant voice, stepped out on the platform at Cavalry Baptist Church, last Friday night, and talked about the Constitution of the United States. When she had finished, the girl, who was Miss Johnnie Mae Washington of the Douglass High School, had won the coveted distinction of being named "champion orator of the high schools of the state."

INTEREST LACKING IN SPORT? Believing that some cause which can be corrected is at the seat of the lack of interest shown by colored people in their own stars of the court and diamond, Mr. Wm. H. Davis of The Amsterdam News has come forward within an offer of ten dollars for the best letter on the subject, five dollars for the next and two and a half for the third letter on the reason for the apparent lack of interest of so-called colored fans in their own people in sport. The letters will be submitted to three judges to be named later, men who are interested in both amateur and professional sport, and to the winners will go the rewards being offered.

NEW LIE'S BIRDS Theatres and Performers — Big and Little By A. N. P. second installment of a history of the Nerga in the theatre in America, compiled and written by Mr. Leonard. This work is presented in great part the writing down of facts that exist vaguely and artificially in the minds of persons whose facts are reproduced in this narrative may differ from the facts as remembered by some others. But the Associated Negro Press believes that the Nerga's performance is performing a service in making this much of a fairly authentic written picture of the Nerga's histories with the all-Negro play, "Playground," which is now shouting both in New York and Chicago. Negro Histrionism in U. S. By C. A. Leonard. INSTALLMENT II Committed from East West ED GREEN was responsible for the first dynamic movement recorded for the North. He founded the Pekin Stock Company in Chicago. The group got its name from the old Pekin Theatre, which is now converted into one of those ineffectual Chicago police stations. Among those who got their start with the "Pekinese" are Charles Gilpin, Miller and Lyles, Leuit. Tim Bryann, J. Francis Mores, Pearl White (not the former serial film star). Ernest Hesan, Lawrence Chenaui, William Cook, Joe Jordan, Jeslie Ship, and Lotta Grady. All are now up in the world of Negro thespians. Another stock company was founded almost simultaneously at the Indiana Theatre in Chicago. Charles Moore was its chief attraction, and he performed colored versions of such places as "My Lady's Carter" and "The Voice in the Dark." Things there were more or less uneventful, once the growth of the Negro theatre marked mainly by the development of its stars. Thus he was king of the Indiana Theatre again until 1908, when Susie Sutton came to love in "The Return of Eve." The really enterprising unit. It adventured with new plays and players medically. In 1908, for instance, it made history with "The advent of Dr. Dixie," in 1910 with "Dixie," and in "Hearts of Dixie"—the stage play, not the picture. Then, along about 1912, Philadelphia's colored theatrical sector was board from. Evelyn Ellis, who played the lead in "Purge," with the company, Gail Alley. But Chicago continued in the dramatic lead up to and including 1816, when the Pekin presented Cloe Desmond and Andrew Bishop the same Bishop who is now the company of Harlem in "Parlor, Bedroom, and Bath," and Shirlette Freesman in "The Brute." A year later Andrew Bishop was instrumental in starting a colored dramatic company in the Theatre in Washington, D. C., playing "The Servant in the House." In 1917 an actress by the name of Anna Bush, fired with the success of her brethren in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, started in a theater in New York called Theatre. New York being the goal of all actors, white or black, Mass Bush had no difficulty attracting the best of her tribe from other cities. When they were banded together, dissonation apparently arose within the Lafayette Theatre and founded the now famous Lafayette Players. The membership listed those who have since come to be recorded as the dramatic stars of the Gilpin, Able Mitchell, Lauren Bowen, Chrissie Muse, Laura Bowen, Ida Anderson, Andrew Bishop, Sid- the Kirkpatrick, Evelyn Ellis, Gharles Oden, A. B. DDecomathire, Jack Oden, and Franck Oden. Among them who later became famous for their characterizations in clay audiences is Rose McClendon, who was seen in "Abraham Lincoln: The Emperor and Able Mitschlein" and "Porgy." Another colored netscraper to win favor among clay audiences is Rose McClendon and "Porgy." "Earth," and "In Abraham's Bosom" were tantamount to stardom. ```markdown ``` The foregoing by no means exhausts the list of present-day Negro mediators, nor the far-flung corners of the city that resisted hunger for the astonishing rate of the lightning. In 1917 Boston was the scene of the attempts of Sterling Wright to make off with the laurels of his runaway, Iris Aldrae. His "Otello" became an icon for lions he storm, for the LaFayette Players invited him down to New York, and he gave a series of performances here. And in 1918, risen comparative obscurity, there were Femi Kuti, who were Kali, who were so compelling a troupe that Robert Edmund Jones staged one of their productions at the Gar-Theatre. "Simon the Gyrinian," he probably the first instance of a role played by the stage in the vicinity and glare of the Broadway lights. Neither can the humble though distorted efforts of the Attucks be overemphasized in contributory to the development of American. The Attucks flushed in Norfolk, Va., in 1917. Most of the colored theatres in the country, intimately, are named Attacks Theatres. Attacks are a tribute to Cripps Attacks, a Negro tribute to persecuted historically by a statue in the Boston Commons. Attacks was intended to be an entertainer in his riot against the British in 1775 the down by the Redcoats, a circumstance which made him the first woman killed in defense of this the more faceless members of the Haitian other theory. They are inclined to think that he had performed for the truth the day before, and that the Postman recombined him in the Postman himself themselves. And we thought his Revolution was misunderstood by RECALLS OLD DAYS IN NEGRO THEATRE Muse Stars in Play Which Added to His Fame the breaking up of a tea party! (Continued Next Week) Magnate's Daughter to Marry WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., May 8—Announcement has been made by Mr. and Mrs. William S.

He is grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North Carolina. Nine Plays for Broadway It is rumored that nine productions featuring colored artists are to be presented in New York during the next year. The latest offering to strike popular fancy along the great white way is "Messin Around," which features a cast of actors plaiting Garland Anderson's "Appearances." The latter moved to the Manfield Theatre, where it is still being offered to the public. Clarence Muse Stars in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" LOS ANGELES, Cal. May 8 (A. N. P.)-Venturing out still further into the fields of the legitimate drama, the film *P.* presents a scene seating the famous vehicle of former actors, "Dr. Jockyll and Mr. Hyde." To assure its success, Clarence Browne, who played the role in New York with the success was secured to play the title role here.

"Stage Struck" Please KANBAS CITY, Mo.—In a benefit performance which brought a near capacity crowd to the downtown Missouri Theatre last Wednesday night, a group of amateurs under the directorship of the composer and an original musical comedy, "Stage Struck."

Dear Mr. Dougherty: I am very pleased to inform you that the great Little Esther is now under my direction. She has made a great gift here; may she have given me one's lips to please her. "Isn't she wonderful, marvelous, extraordinary, this little Esther." It is really a miracle to see a child of her, a natural Russian-American. Every magazine has had their columns; in fact she has created a bigger sensation than the great Josephine Buker. She was formerly a natural Russian-American who tried to draw the color line here in Paris, which was his greatest mistake and on, how he took advantage in her naturalized Russian-American-Japan Jones $8 which created quite a scandal in Paris. It was then that Mia. Jones asked me to take care of her interests. When Little Esther arched her arms, she was on clothes on account of Mr. Bolton being too stingy to buy her some. Since she is under my management she has the reputation of being one of the most beautiful French. Of course it's useless to mention that I am a colored man and I am the only colored impresario in France. I hope; to make Little Esther the most colored child artist in the world. I am mailing you a few writ-up-ups in the different French newspapers. Thanking you for all that you can do, mine and Little Esther's favor. I remain. Yours very truly. I. GARNER. Manager of Little Esther. 34 N. Fontaine, Paris, France.

And the cast will include the role of a lovely Russian pant girl and William (Buster) Collier as her Corsac sweetheart, Carmel Myring brings all her artistry to a dual role as the Russian Corsac general and her career, Allan Roose, as the Russian Corsac general, and Alexia Demotrius, as a pantent, complete the cast.

Boy Scout News By Scout Edward Lewis A Little Distant. "How 'bout an interview, Scout-master? I'm sure you can give me a little dope on your Philadelphia Scouts." It's a strange thing, but the readers of my Boy Scout articles seem delighted to hear about Scouts in other cities, especially to compare them with the Harlem Scouts. "Well—it's all right with me. I guess it can be done." This conversation took place recently at the mastersmaster Howard Hopson of Troop 181 of Philadelphia and the writer of these articles.

Williams to become one of New York's Leading Undertakers Fred M. Williams THE ARTIST'S STUDIO Complete Funerals $125 and Up THE NEW FUNERAL ERA The Funeral Director's profession has experienced one of the most phenomenal advancements in the last fifteen years ever recorded in the history of any profession. This calling, which has been in existence since the beginning of time, has emerged from its cocoon mediocrity into the butterfly of a profession. The sombre funeral trappings, the icebox, and crepe-draped coffin have passed into oblivion. The quiet, dignified casket coach, the jewel-case-like burial receptacle and perfect embalming have taken their place. The quiet funeral home has forced the ill-kept, dark, hole-in-the-wall office into discard. The frock-coated, sour-visaged Undertaker has gone the way of all that do not keep pace with the times, and in his place we find the modern, clean-cut, human Mortician. A new order of things has brought into its wake an increased burden in overhead that would cause the old-fashioned Undertaker to stagger and gasp. If the cost of funeral service is not to become burdensome to the public, it is vitally necessary that it be met in at least two ways: First, by an accurate knowledge of business principles that will determine unnecessary waste, in order that it might be eliminated. Second, by an increase in the volume of funerals cared for by the individual establishment, in order that the cost of overhead in each case might be lowered. In the past, and still, to a certain extent, the Funeral Director has been chosen solely on the basis of friendship, personal acquaintance, fraternal or religious affiliations, or recommendations of others. The only real basis of preference, Service, has not been a factor in the selecting of a Funeral Director in the past, in any other than an indirect manner.

At this camp awards are given to Scouts competing in the contests, which are held daily. According to Scoutmaster Hopson, Troop 181 is the leader of the Negro troops and is considered part of the troop recently competed for the Haiti inspection award for the best dressed troop, meeting all other requirements necessary for the award. The meetings are held on Tuesday and Friday at the troop's location where members of the troop learn how to swim. There are a number of Eagle Scouts in the troop and many of the members are working hard to assist someone in need.

If so happens that the writer read a story in the magazine section of Sunday's New York Times, in which you are credited with a statement made in an interview that your interest in the ten million Negroes in the United States is acquired by your desire to have them become better citizens. Is it not a fact that good citizenship has its inclination mainly in the home?

We do not ask that especial consideration be given to Negroes who desire to purchase your ready-cut homes. We do not ask that you waive a single requirement for the extension of credit under your plan. All that we ask is that Sears, Roebuck & Company deal with the Negro in the same way that it deals with other prospective home owners, and not exclude them solely on the ground of color. Very truly yours. (Signed) WILLIAM M Amsterdam News. (Signed) WILLIAM M. KELLEY. Editor, The Amsterdam News, May 2, 1929. Mr. Rosenwald's Intention? Mr. Rosenwald's Intention? A SURPRISING piece of news came to light recently. Sears, Roebuck and Company, the greatest mail order firm in the United States, has drawn the color line against Negroes who wish to buy homes through that company's building and loan department. Though 2,200 ready-cut homes have been sold and erected in New York City and vicinity on the Sears-Roebuck plan, the company has refused to finance Negro home-buyers. It sells homes to white people for a small cash payment and lends them enough to cover all subsequent expenses, giving them from five to fifteen years to repay the loan. It requires Negro buyers, however, to pay the full value at once. THE SURPRISING feature is not that the company discriminates against a group of people from whom it draws a large part of its revenue. That is common everywhere; banks, insurance companies and other commercial concerns refuse to employ Negroes, although they receive millions of dollars from Negroes. The Sears-Roebuck discrimination is peculiar, because the chief owner of that company, the man who holds more than half of its $700,000,000 capital stock, is Julius Rosenwald. MR. ROSENWALD is the greatest single benefactor of the Negro in this country. Up to 1924 he had given $2,000,000 for the education of rural Negroes in the South. He has originated funds for Negro Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings. His donations toward Negro advancement have continued up to the present time. In a recent interview he said: "I am interested in the Negro because I am also interested in the white. Do you know that one-tenth of our population is black? Well, if we promote better citizenship among that proportion of our people, it goes without saying that our entire citizenship will be the better for it." THERE IS NO BETTER WAY to promote good citizenship among Negroes than to enable them to buy homes. Many of the unfavorable social, political and economic conditions among Negroes in large cities are due to their inability to buy homes for reasonable prices and at convenient rates. The man whose nose is held to the grindstone by a rent of $80 a month when his salary is not much more than $100 has little time or energy for improving his social condition or fulfilling his responsibilities as a citizen IT MAY WELL BE that Mr. Rosenwald is not in direct charge of the policy and operations of the building and loan department of his company. He is a man of many interests and the welfare of the Negro is only one of them. Capitalists of his calibre generally outline their plans and entrust them to subordinates for execution, giving them considerable latitude. These subordinates, as Negroes know only too well, often inject their own prejudices into the working out of the plans, and the result is frequently something that the original founder never intended. In view of Mr. Rosenwald's proved interest in the improvement of the Negro, it is hard to believe that the policy of the Sears- --- The 19th N.A.A.C.P.Report Americans Start Trouble Again Roebuck loan and building department represents his intention. We await his reply. THE Negro has very much to fight for but very little to fight with. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People concerns itself mainly with the question of justice before the courts. The report records effective interference in several instances to secure the legal rights of individuals. Such cases involve the issues of murder, extradition and civil political rights. There was landable endeavor to estop the illegal exclusion of the Negro from the ballot in Texas, Florida and Arkansas. The segregation fight, so gloriously won in 1917, was continued in specific features, especially in Washington. D. C. The total income was $16,000, a sum which is small indeed when measured against the task essayed. A people who want their rights ought to be willing to pay for them. The contribution for the year amounts to less than half cent per capita. It must be said that the association has made good use of the limited means placed at the disposal. The meagerness of contributions may be accounted for largely by the absence for the year of any picturesque and spectacular feature.

TWO incidents involving two prominent Negroes are being discussed here—incidents that sound insane to European ears, but which will have very familiar ring to American ones. Indeed, as a result of it one individual is now behind the bars in an insane asylum. The two Negroes concerned are Josephine Baker, well-known music hall star; the second is Claude McKay, noted poet and recent winner of the Harmon Award. Neither incident has any immediate relation with the other. Wealthy American Woman Sent to Asylum. To deal with that concerning Miss Baker first. In 1927, while Miss Baker was starring at the Moulin Rouge, she occupied a luxurious apartment on the Champs Elysées. As neighbor she had in the same building one Mme. Duminy, who objected strenuously to Miss Baker's complexion and wished her ejected from the building. Right here it may be stated, though it is needless to do so. She was the President name, Mme. Duminy is American-born. She hails from San Francisco, and was formerly Vera Schultz.

The comprehenensive ends of justice are not accomplished in the hasty enthusiasm of the excited moment, but rather by deliberate, sustained A. E. - Kelly Miller - and persistent endearment. The organization has on different occasions called for large amounts to cope with some threatening evil, such as lynching, segregation and disfranchisement, but no adequate response has been forthcoming. The Negro psychology is akin to that of Shakespeare's lamb, which bears his passion as the flint bears fire—shows a hasty spark and straight is cold again. Race discrimination takes on several crystallized forms which can be definitely combated. Race prejudice, as such, is in itself too subtle. Bu J. A. ROGERS and married M. Duminy, a former garage-keeper. When Miss Baker refused to budge from her apartment, Mme. Duminy bought a clarinet and marched up and down the hallway serenading Miss Baker with shrill notes each time she came in. When Miss Baker still stood her ground THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN J. A. Rogers Mme. Duminy decided to go in for still a little more entertaining. She stripped herself until she was even a bit more nude than the famous music hall star and with her charlnet did an act for Miss Baker's benefit that would have brought her a fortune on the stage. "Of course, the neighbors all joined in the treat that was intended for Miss Baker, and the result of it all was that Mme. Duminy was sent to the insane asylum at Vanves. Now a year later her lawyers are arguing for her release. "Mme. Duminy is not insane," they declare. "Her drinking and eating in copious quantities brought on an unusually gay and nervous state, which prompted her to act as she. She did not make a noise in the hall. As most she stuck her head out of the doorway and ran off a few notes just to vex Miss Baker." On the other hand, M. Dummy alleges that his wife is completely irresponsible; that she did annoy Bake, and tried to have her elected to the council, but have many witnesses on hand when the case comes up in the.

It is only when it becomes embodied in outward expression of law or custom that it becomes the object of formal attack. Disfranchisement, jim-crow cars, separate schools, anti-mlscegenation laws, residential segregation by law, and restriction or exclusion of Negroes from places of public entertainment or amusement represent the six crystallized forms of segregation which the N. A. A. C. P. was born to combat. Twenty years of continuous and persistent endeavor has scarcely made a perceptible dint in their armor. There have been incidental victories, here and there, but not a single major objective has been accomplished. Disfranchisement is still rampant, Jim-crow cars are still rumbling through the land, separate schools have recently received the stamp of approval by the Supreme Court, residential segregation is extending itself year by year, public places of entertainment and resorts still exclude the black would-be entrant. These are not the words of disparagement or dispair but a plain description of the actualities of the situation. Mr. Groo is too prone to rest satisfied in smug complacency at his wonderful achievements, in deplorable oblivion of their inadequacy. He lacks the sense of proportion.

Dumliny came to France, but her color prejudice evidently did not fade with time. Claude McKay Meets Up With Mr. "Crow." The incident concerning McKay is as follows: A few months ago La Coupole, most popular of the Paris cafes, opened a cabaret in a basement, which has since become one of the most popular in the city. La Coupole is in Montparnasse, which in the past three years has had such an influx of Americans that it has become Little America. Across from it is the Dome Cafe and Bar, in which French is rarely spoken. On Saturday night McKay attempted to enter this cabaret. With him were M. Pierre Vogelin, white; M. Alexis, colored, of Guadeloupe, and three ladies, one of, whom is Miss Rappoport of the U. S. A. At the door the party was stopped by an attendant, who said that no Negroes were admitted; that McKay and M. Alexis must remain out, but that the rest of the party could go in. Seeking put the manager, McKay protested to him. "Oh," the latter declared, according to McKay, "what are you kicking about? We treat you people in France better than in America. I have orders not to let in any Negroes, as we are not looking for trouble." McKay, who used to be one of the best known bohemian figures in Montpardasse up to a few years ago, and before the present American invasion, says that that is the second time he has been refused service in France. The other place was in Nice, when he and a white Southerner were barred from a place frequented by American sailors. He is accustomed to like incidents in England, he said. But the incident will perhaps not end there. M. Alexis, who is a French citizen, says that he intends taking up the matter with BOOK I BANJO. By Claude McKay.

By Claude McKay. Published by Harper & Bros., New York. $2.50. THREESCORE years ago the Negro clambered out of the pit of slavery and turned his face toward the Promised Land. Uncouth, unskilled, ignorant, devoid of everything but crude power and simple faith, he started his arduous climb toward salvation. He strove for education, for knowledge to use the tools of the world, for economic security. The first generation out of slavery wanted little or nothing for themselves, they regarded themselves as shock troops, they were content and even eager to make their dead bodies the stepping stones by which their children might climb to higher things. Their fight was bitter; they were assaulted on every side. Their enemies used every weapon of propaganda against them. Paper upon paper, book upon book hammered into the public mind the idea that the Negro men were clowns, criminals, lechers, creatures with a subnormal sense of responsibility, improvident leafers who never worked if they could get out of it. Ministers of Christ stood in their pullets and SPECIAL ARTICLES ple weapons: the strike, the ballot and the boycott. By means of these weapons he compels a remedy of his grievances. Unfortunately the Negro cannot use effectively any of these weapons. The strike and the boycott are impossible. While rarely uses it for defensive purposes. He certainly did not do so in the last election. In the South, where the ballot might serve a great protective purpose, it was taken from him for fear that he would use it vindictively. The prospect of speedy restoration is not promising under the prevalent "illy white" dispensation. The only defensive weapon which is left Negro is the rifle. Negro is armed and the law. Although this appeal is not always beeded, yet this is the only avail*; resort. Let the whole race fall in behind the N. A. A. C. P. to hold up its hands as it wields the legal sword. But aggrieved classes win their battles by tactics as well as by weapons. Belgium won against Germany by appealing to the enlightened conscience of the civilized world. When you have put the adversary on the wrong side of the moral equation, the victory is more than half won. The sword of the Union Army and the pen of Lincoln overthrew slavery only because the abolitionists had previously won the victory before the moral arbitrament of mankind. Thrice armed is he who has his quarrel just. The Negro's cause is just and righteous altogether. It is in alignment with the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, the Sermon on the Mount, the Declaration of the Constitution of the United States. No other foundation can be laid than the one which has been laid. However dark the present aspect of things may appear to be, on this foundation there is hope. Our weapons are weak, but our tactics are strong. Again his representative in Parliament, M. Candace, deputy from Gaude-loupe. Prince Kolo Case Recalled. Prince Kojo Case Recalled. Some years ago, when, Prince Kojo Touvalou-Huenou of Dahomey, was ejected from a Montreal airport, the request of American tourists, the place was padlocked L. one year. Following this came the protest of American tourists against the presence of some black officers in a sightseeing bus. The matter was brought to the attention of the colored deputies and came up in the Chamber. As a result, Premier Palcare, who is a firm friend of the black man, issued an order that foreign visitors who drew the color line were subject to punishment. The order read: "Foreign guests, forgetting that they are our guests, and bound to respect our laws and customs, recently on several occasions have forcibly manifested their aversion to seeing colored men born in French colonies sit by their side in public places. They have even gone to the length of demanding their expulsion in insulting terms." "If such incidents are repeated the offenders will be punished." M. Alexis is indignant over the affair. He says that it is the first time he has been so insulted in what he caused the writer's attention to sign it is posted at the door of the cabaret reading: "No Dogs Allowed." Rogers Admitted. On the following evening the writer sought entrance to the cabaret and was welcomed by the doorman with that cagerness which is characteristic of employees in such places in France. But he is light in complexion, and the European eye possesses less skill than the American one for detecting persons of color. Moreover, many of the French from the south of France are very dark in color. In France, and even in England, it is only obviously dark persons who are deemed Negroes, generally speaking.

Brown, M.D Heart Murmurs THE condition of heart murmurs, commonly known as leaking valves, is a source of much worry by people who have it. Also is it one of the important factors in the consideration of those seeking insurance by life insurance examiners. There are two types of heart murmurs. One is functional, meaning that there is no real disease of the heart, but just the production of a characteristic murmur sound over the heart as a result of a very weakened constitution, anemia or contact of the heart with the lungs in some abnormal way. There are in other associated signs or symptoms of heart murmurs in these cases, and more and more the fession is showing a disposition to disregard entirely these functional murmurs. The other type is the organic murmur. This is a sound produced by the different valves of the heart, as a result of disease which has prevented them from closing or opening properly. All disturbed conditions of the four valves of the heart have their own characteristic sounds and occur at a definite time in the cycle of the heart beat. Disease of some valves is a more serious matter than that of other valves. With organic murmurs there is usually evidence of enlargement of the heart change in its muscle tone and irregularity of the pulse. Unless nature compensates for the structural defects in these valves, education and won it. in its property and won it, for social decency and won it. it is a truism to say that his progress in the past sixty years is remarkable, that it contains the stuff of which great epics are made. One would expect to find at least an echo of this achievement in the literature of the Negro. One reads Knut Hamsun's novel, "Growth of the Soll," and reflects that Negroes have done greater things under greater difficulties than Hamsun's. One reflects the Negro written to celebrate the upward struggle of these Negroes. Instead of this, instead of defending their race before the world, instead of trying to force the public to respect the Negro, what are most of them doing? They are doing the very thing that men like Thomas Dixon did. Their condemnation of the Negro is more effective than Dixon's because it comes from the pens of Negroes themselves. White authors do not need to write against Negroes any more: the Negroes are against themselves. The white author and white applaud them for the same reason that the slaveholders reward Negro spies and talebearers. To some who were disgusted with the trend of modern Negro literature Claude McKay's "Home to Harlem" brought a gleam of hope. It was soul and malodorous, but through all its squirrel there was a gleam like that of a lily growing in a slimy backwater. For all its pestilent odor, it was the best story of Harlem written up to that time, and the rhythm with which it was told gave hope that in his next book McKay would give the Negro reason to hold up his head. "This hope is dashed by "Banjo," McKay's new novel, "Banjo," has the rankness of "Home to Harlem" without its poetry. It is the story of a gang of Negro bums and panhandlers who infest the wharves of Marseilles, the French seaport on the Mediterranean. They sleep on the breakwater and get their food by begging it from the cooks and stewards of incoming ships. The idea of working for a living is something foreign, if not ignoble, to them. Personal honor, too, is an unknown quantity; they think nothing of accepting a month's wage in shipping company and then refusing a salt on the ship. When thirsty, they sneak in among the wine barrels on the wharves, pull out the bungs, drink themselves drunk and never seem to know they are thieves. Their headquarters is the vileest part of the city and their haunts are known as Bum Square, Boody Lane and the Ditch, places whose population is composed entirely of pimps, prostitutes and degenerates, who combine to prey upon incoming sailors. At the Negro bums' utterly worthless character, who loves one woman into giving him money to spend on other women. When he is broke he lives on an Arab woman; when he has money he spends it on a white woman who will not even look at him when he is characterized as the Ray who figured in "Home to Harlem"; in this book he is less gentlemanly but more heathen than ever. The other bums are a nondescript lot with all of Banjo's stiffness and none of his personality. Banjo and all of them mull around aimlessly; the story has no beginning and no end. As the author says, it has no plot, and it shouldn't, for none of the characters can sustain an aim or a desire long enough to make a plot. The book is full of things that will please white readers—pure coon-stuff. But, as Banjo says, coon-stuff is the money-stuff nowadays. In some places, there is something heavier than coon-stuff; there are fierce distribes against the Negro that Southern whites could not surpass. You will rub your eyes and wonder if it is not Thomas Dixon. murs, commonly known as leak- murs, commonly known as leak- murs worry by people who have important factors in the con- surance by life insurance ex- tensive general symptoms of heart disease will follow, as shortness of breath, early fatigue, swelling of the feet and a cough. It has been observed that this whole picture of heart disease may follow infected teeth, gums and tonsils, hence the urgent need for the removal of these sources of infection by diligent care and treatment of these parts. Acute rheumatic fever is followed by affe- cations of the heart more regularly than any other disease. Patients suffering from this form of rheumaticism should be under the care of their physicians long after the acute symptoms of the disease have subsided, in order to safeguard themselves against this heart complication. Nature is very kind to us, so that in the great majority of cases where there is evidence of an organic murmur the heart, in all its parts, has undergone changes to compensate for its valvular deficiency. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, so let us use every amenity to protect ourself from serious ailments by giving our attention to the so-called minor complaints. Claude McKay. It is certainly not the McKay who wrote that splendidly defiant poem on the Chicago race riot. This McKay is embittered against his own race as well as the white; it may be that he is embittered most of all against himself because he knows he is slurring his own people to please white readers. The McKay has that he writes of the great working man because he is interested in and identified with him. But these wharf-rats, ditch-pimps and panhandlers are very far from being workmen. Health Workers Decry Alarming Death Rate "More stress is placed on cattle raising in many parts of the country than to child raising in Harlem," Lemuel Foster of the Victory Life Insurance Company told his hearers at a health meeting Thursday evening at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 138th street, near Seventh avenue. The insurance man and five other health and welfare workers described mental health paid children who are allowed to play on the streets late at night. Diet, fear of health examinations and exploitation by white insurance companies were declared contributors to the high death rate. Speakers taking part in the health symposium were Aaron Smith, president of Abyssinian Forum, sponsor of the meeting; Mrs. Mabel D. Keneton of the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, and James H. H. Roberts of the meeting; Mrs. P. M. H. Savoy, vice-president of the insurance company, and Dr. Anna Cooper Johnson, dentist. Justice Cohn Contributes Justice Albert Cohn of the Supreme Court of the State of New York has written a letter endorsing the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and enclosing his check of $20 towards the association's work.

MY mother's sacred presence now I feel— Her face so sweet and frank it doth reveal A love which only mother-heart can feel— Oh, gentle Mother Mine. My mother's smile—it strongly buoys by heart And helps me so when I with doubtful thoughts Do strive to know which of the shining paths To choose, my Mother Mine. My mother's word approves when Oh, precious Mother Mine. My mother's hands, how soft they do remain. Caress, soothe, as when a babe I lay. In those dear arms only my God hath made— Oh, sweetest Mother Mine. My mother's voice, as sweet as heaven's chimes. GOD bless my Mother Munc. BELLA PAUL OUTERBRIDGE ```markdown ``` AUBREY BOWSER.
