MAN HELD IN HEINOUS ASSAULT REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections SEARS, ROEBUCK ENDS DISCRIMINATION HERE IN HOME FINANCING Notifies New York Credit Manager That Applicants for Ready-Cut Houses Must Be Considered Only as Good or Bad Credit Risks Within one week after The Amsterdam News exposed an alleged discriminatory practice against Negroes in this section by Sears, Roebuck & Company of Chicago, whose guiding genius is Julius Rosenwald, the noted Jewish philanthropist, that concern took steps to uproot it. This became known Monday upon receipt of a letter, and a copy of a memorandum dated May 7, sent to J. J. O'Connor, head of the credit department of the New York office, from R. E. Wood, president of the concern. Sears, Roebuck & Company is the largest mail-order house in the world. “If, as claimed in the article, any prospective purchasers are being rejected on account of their color, such policy should be immediately discontinued,” Mr. Wood wrote. “Applications for purchase of ready-cut homes should be considered purely and simply on their rating as good or bad credit risks and no discrimination in color should be made,” he stated further. In the letter addressed to the editor of The Amsterdam News, dated May 17, Mr. Wood stated that “the salesman referred to in the article was a new man with the company and evidently not conversant with our policy.” Copies of both communications are reproduced in this issue. Rosenwald Not Responsible. Upon receipt of the issue of the paper containing the article and a letter from the editor asking that the practice be discontinued, Mr. Rosenwald, who it appears “no longer takes an active interest in the management of the business,” turned them over to President Wood. Jersey Girl Held In Fatal Cutting Lays Boarder’s Death to Sunday Prank While Cooking Dinner Miss Lillian Fordham, 35, 319 Hal- Publication of the article was not made until after two representatives of The Amsterdam News had called at different times at the New York office, 115 Fifth avenue, to inquire about the building and financing plan of Sears, Roebuck & Company's "Honor Blit" ready-cut and fitted homes. Both were told by I. K. Weed, white, one of the salesmen, that while the company would gladly sell building materials to Negroes on a strictly cash basis, that all financing connected with the building would have to be done outside. The order establishing this ruling, he said, came direct from Chicago. Reconsideration Requested. Because of Mr. Rosenwald's known philanthropies for the benefit of Negroes all over the United States, through the building of schools in the South and Y. M. and Y. W. G. A.'s in large cities, appeal was then made to him to have Sears, Roebuck & Company, of which he is chairman of the board of trustees and the largest individual stockholder, reconsider the discriminatory decision. The giant mall-order company's home building plan is unusually attractive for the person of average means who owns one or more build- (Continued on Page 2) This Week's News Index Editorials ..... 20 Special Articles ..... 20 General and National News ..... 1-4 & city and Women's Pages ..... 6, 7 Sports ..... 8, 9 Music.

Miss Fordham, the daughter of an old and distinguished family, told the police at the City Hospital about a half hour after the stabbing that she and Marlan were playing around in her kitchen while she was preparing dinner. Both, she stated, were in good spirits and were cavorting about the room. After a while she took up a carving knife to test a roast cooking in the oven. Then she heard Marlan running toward her. She turned suddenly the knife still in her hand. Marlan, she says, ran into the knife before he could check himself. The blade entered his chest and pierced his left lung. Miss Fordham frightened, tried stanching the flow of blood with pepper. The blood kept flowing and Miss Fordham summoned Dr. L. Keith Madison, of 354 Pacific avenue. When he saw the man's condition he sent for an ambulance. Marlan was then taken away in a City Hospital ambulance, after telling Dr. Madson that it was an accident. He died at the hospital. Miss Fordham was arrested and held for hearing on Monday, but waived examination and is being held without ball for the Grand Jury. William Hampton, 37, also a boarder at the Fordham home, was held as a witness, although he saw nothing of the stabbing. Hampton was later paroled in custody of his counsel, William George. Miss, Fordham was married to Albert Thomas several years ago but was divorced. Thomas married again and went to Buffalo.

Dear Mr. Kelley: Dr. Johnus Rosenwald has turned over to me your letter of May 2nd, enclosing a copy of your issue of May last, as he no longer has an active interest in the management of the business. Attached is a copy of letter which has been written by me to the head of our Credit Department, which is self-explanatory. The salesman referred to in the article was a new man with the company and evidently not conversant with our policy. As stated to be Rosenwald in your letter, we are quite sure that you "do not ask that special consideration be given to Negroes who desire to purchase our ready-to-hire homes." This we have not done. We have, however, sold these homes to persons, regardless of race or color, who have measured up to the required amounts of the contract. The races given below are a few cases of colored people to whom we have sold ready-out homes on a credit basis: Krys Georgia A. Phillips, 699 Mifflany Ave. Lackawanna, N.J. Janes A.

Officer Britten engaged in a gun battle with a burglar about seven weeks ago. The thief escaped, but the officer believes that he wounded him. The person robbed was Harry Fishman, white, proprietor of a delicatessen store at 2794 Eighth avenue, who told the story of the holdup and the shooting to the police. Fishman said he was counting up the day's receipts when, at about one o'clock, three colored men entered his store with revolvers, held him up, and took $35 from his pockets and $40 from the cash register. Pusues, Kills Robber. "They ordered me into the rear of the store," Fishman related, "and took off my apron and tied my hands behind me with it. One of them stuffed a towel in my mouth." The bandit tró then fled, he said, but, at the same moment, Fishman struggled to free himself. He succeeded and dashed to where he had an automatic revolver concealed. At that moment one of the robbers returned, probably upon the suspicion that Fishman had gotten free, and aimed his gun straight at the store-keeper and pulled the trigger. The gun missed fire.

ILLINOIS COMMERCE COMMISSIONER DIES AT BROTHER'S HOME CHICAGO, May 20. This city's high officials, fraternal leaders and plain citizens paid tribute to Daniel H. Jackson, member of the Illinois Commerce Commission and committeeman of the Second Ward, Saturday evening at his funeral establishment, 3400 South Michigan avenue, following his death from WASHINGTON, May 20.—A bill to prohibit the employment of allons on public works and non-residents of a state on public works within the state was to be introduced in the House today by Representative John W. Cable, Republican of Ohio. The requirements of the proposed act would be waived only in an "extraordinary emergency." The bill carries a penalty of $100 a day for each workman illegally employed, but would not apply to contracts made prior to its approval. This bill seems further to protect American labor by supplementing the eight-hour day on public works laws." Mr. Cable said Sunday. "Contractors are required by this new bill, not only to employ local labor living in the state in which the work is carried on, but also to employ Americans only."

The assailant escaped and detectives of the West Sixty-eighth street station were still on his trail late Monday. Officer Thomas Cominsky of the above named station heard the shot about a block away and found Smith's body in the gutter. Bystanders reported that the victim was fighting an unknown man when his assailant turned the deadly weapon upon him. The killing occurred in front of 203 West Sixty-third street while it was still daylight and numerous persons shopped at the curb market just around the corner. The body was taken to the morgue and was to be shipped today to Marysville, S. C., where the dead man's mother and a sister live. Mrs Smith and a brother-in-law, Henry were to accompany the corpse.

EIGHT OTHER WHITE MEN ACCUSED IN ATTACK ON WOMAN Charged with being one of nine men who forced their way into the home of Margaret Evans, 26, 207 East Ninety-eighth street, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning and attacking her, James Prastia; 17, white, a laundry worker, 246 East 121st street, was held in $10,000 bail for the Grand Jury when he was arraigned before Magistrate Dodge in Harlem Court. The end came after an illness of a week at the home of his brother, Charles. The commissioner was born in 1870 and came here from Pittsburgh in 1892. The services were held with Bishop A. J. Carey officiating. After the simple rites the body was carried to Pittsburgh, where it will rest in the mausoleum which was built by the deceased as the resting place of the members of the Jackson family. Daniel M. Jackson was born in Pittsburgh on September 9, 1870. He attended the public schools of that city and graduated from the Western Pennsylvania University, after which he joined his father and brother in the undertaking business. Thirty-seven years ago he came to Chicago with his father and helped him in conducting the Emanuel Jackson Funeral Home, of which he was the president when he died. He took an active interest in politics from the beginning but entered into the limelight some twenty-eight years ago. His position in the business world rivalled that in political circles, being president of the Emanuel Jackson Funeral Home, which he established as memorial to his father who founded the business, president of the Metropolitan Funeral Corporation and a stockholder in several large business enterprises. The commission post was the peak of Jackson's career. As a member of the body he sat with six other members and directed all public utilities and state commercial enterprises. Always a target for political foes, Jackson was indicted last fall along with Oscar DePriest, now a congressman, on charges of protecting vice and gambling on the South Side. The Congressman recently credited Jackson with largely aiding his nomination and rolling up support to send DePriest to Washington. The late politician was also a power in the I. B. P. O. Elks. He was a great friend of Casper Holstein, New York sportsman and head of Monarch Lodge in that city. When Holstein was kidnapped last September and supposedly held for ransom, it was reported that the commissioner went to New York with thousands of dollars in cash to effect his release. Mr. Holstein came here to join in the tribute Saturday. Surviving Mr. Jackson are: a brother, Charles S. Jackson of Chicago; a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Mangham, and a niece, Miss Melissa Mangham of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Lucy Jackson, his wife, died last fall.

The woman told the Magistrate that she was talking with Oscar Taylor, her common-law husband, and Mrs. Percy Driscoll, a neighbor, when there was a knock on the door. When she opened the door, Prastio and eight other men forced their way into the apartment. The men threatened them with death if they made an outy, Miss Evans said, and while eight of the men stood guard over Taylor and Mrs. Driscoll, Prastio seized Miss Evans and dragged her into the bedroom where she alleges he attacked her. When Taylor tried to go to the assistance of Miss Evans, one of the men picked up an axe and threatened to kill him, she said. After the men left, Taylor reported the attack to Policeman Maurer of the East 104th street station and in an apartment at 205 East Ninety-seventh street, where a number of men were engaged in a card game for money. Prastio was picked out as one of the nine men. Miss Evans then identified him as the man who attacked her. Questioned in the police station Prastio is alleged to have admitted his guilt. He refused, however, to tell who the men were who accompanied him. Detective Caputo has been assigned to locate the other men. The police arrested nineteen man whom they found gambling with Prastio in the Ninety-seventh street apartment. They were charged with disorderly conduct but were discharged by Magistrate Dodge. Given Six Years In Wife Slaying Andrew Gabriel Sentenced After Changing Plea to Guilty Andrew Gabriel, 28, 13 West 128th street, stood before the bar Friday in General Sessions and heard himself sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of three to six years for the fatal stabbing of his wife. Sentence was imposed by Judge Francis X. Mancuso after he had consented to a withdrawal of a not guilty plea. Gabriel pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the second degree and escaped trial on the murder charge. Jealous and humiliated because his wife, Marie, 28, left him and showed her attention upon others. Gabriel met the woman in the hallway of 15 West 115th street and slashed her February 22. The husband was persistent in his denial when first arrested and accused Juan Pulg, in whose home at the 115th street address Mrs. Gabriel lived, of slaying the woman. Arraigned in the Homicide Court and later indicted, the disgruntled husband continued to protest his innocence until given the opportunity to escape trial. Gabriel had no prison record and will probably be released before the expiration of his maximum term. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC THIS IS TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC THAT MR.

Sears, Roebuck & Company's loan department will advance up to 75 per cent of the full valuation, or $4,500. The value of the lots is $1,000, so $500 cash is all that is required. The balance of $4,500 is paid annually in instalments, with interest at 6 per cent in from five to fifteen years. Under the fifteen-year plan the payments would amount to only $25 per month plus interest charges. Incidentally, it is probable that the savings effected under the Sears, Roebuck home-building plan for your home would amount to about $1,000.

CITY BUREAUS CHARGED WITH LAXITY Alderman Hawkins Opens Fire Upon Health Violations in Harlem Tenements Asks Aldermanic Board to Pass Resolution Urging Investigation of Conditions in Twenty-first District; Republican Committee Hears Protests The Board of Aldermen were asked late yesterday to pass a resolution by Alderman John Clifford Hawkins of the Twenty-first district, urging an official investigation of health conditions in harlem tenements and apartments.

USE IT FREELY DUNBAR NATIONAL BANK 2824 EIGHTH AVE. AT 150TH STREET OF NEW YORK Founded by John D. Rookefeller Jr The resolution avers that in certain tenement and apartment houses garbage is allowed to be thrown down the dumbwalter shafts and allowed to remain in the basements for periods as long as two weeks. Ashes are permitted to accumulate for a longer time, it asserts. Once the refuse is taken from the houses, it remains on the streets until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, according to the resolution. The resolution asks that a committee appointed from city departments by Mayor Walker ascertain conditions with the view of remedying them. Tenants Complain. Complaints by tenants to the Tenement House and Street Cleaning departments are often met with no response, the alderman said in his letter to the mayor. When an inspector is sent to the scene nothing is done about the condition, according to the district representative. The offending section is described as beginning at 13th street and runs west through the street, and from Harlem River to Edgecombe avenue. Mr. Hawkins pledges his assistance in furnishing exact instances of the evil and doing all in his "power with a view of removing the nusances complained of." A few hours after the letter was addressed Thursday to the mayor, Harlem members of the Republican County Committee were protesting the same conditions at a meeting of the organization at 306 West Fifty-second street. Mrs. Jane Fiveloy, the Jane Fiveloy Election district of Twenty-first, assailed janitors, city departments and landlords. Protests against alleged treatment of lawyers and defendants in dispossess cases at the Seventh District Municipal Court were also heard. Aaron Smith, deputy collector of internal revenue and committeeman of the Twelfth district, attacked lax observance of health regulations and issued orders to include berber shops and restaurants. Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal of the Nineteenth took up the cudgel and promised to bring the situation to the attention of aldermen of his district and the Twenty-first. Opposition of the majority leader, Charles McManus of the Fifth District, forced Alderman John Clifford Hawkins' resolution for an investigation of Harlem health conditions to the committee on rules yesterday. Sister Sue of our district leader, Frank Dotzler, Mr. Hawkins added a stiff fight in the committee room before the Board of Aldermen gives it consideration.

Urban League Gets New Staff Member Urban League Gets New Staff Member Samuel A. Allen, Formerly of Boston, Succeeds Ira de A. Reid Samuel A. Allen, who for five years has been executive secretary of the Boston Urban League, has resigned his position there to become associated with the New York Urban League. Mr. Allen is the industrial secretary of the New York branch, succeeding Ira de A. Reid, who is now wife of Samuel A. Reid. In the industrial field some of the outstanding things of his administration to be recorded are the opening of the Boston Elevated Railway to PETER H. - S. A. Allen - colored men in the service as conductors and motormen; the appointment of a manager in the chain stores, a chemist in the General Electric Company in Lynn, several stenographers, and opening of Everett Evening School and Playground. He has bargained with labor employers to employ colored men in large numbers; placed men at the Ford plant and at Sears. Roebuck; made several new openings in summer hotels where they had not used colored before. One of Mr. Allen's first efforts here will be to develop openings for the large number of students from Negro colleges, and applications are all pouring into the New York Urban League office. This week he and E. D. Jones, employment secretary, are making a special trip to Atlantic City to check up on occupational opportunities there. According to James H. Hubert, executive secretary, the coming of Mr. Allen is merely the first step in the program of the New York Urban League to place increasing emphasis on securing more and better jobs for Negroes in New York City and State. Indicts Four Women and Man in Jewelry Robbery Indicted Thursday by the Grand Jury on charges of robbing Julius Epstein, white, 53, jewelry salesman of 1356 Teller avenue, four women and a man entered pleas of not guilty Friday in General Sessions.

Arnold Hill of Urban League Sees Brighter Outlook According to T. Arm Hill of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, employment reports for April present a brighter outlook in diversified occupations and a spirit of optimism is observed. Of the twenty-one cities which supplied us with information, only four reported important losses for April. "The mechanization of industry, provision of industry to the South and the exclusion of Negroes from unions will doubtlessly cause the Negro to suffer. It is a foregone conclusion that Negroes in the South, even when they are members of unions, must work for lower wages than whites. In North and South Carolina, Jacksonville, Savannah and Birmingham whites may be seen driving cleaning streets and as scavengers—all jobs formerly done by Negroes," Mr. Hill states. "A toy factory added a number of girls to its force in Newark; Baltimore reports a slight increase in employment, due to opening of building trades; in Spartanburg a new syrup factory opened, employing seven Negroes and six whites, and in a competitive bid on dismantling a building the job was given to a Negro, and he made good, using twenty others. In Philadelphia employment is on the upgrade, especially in building and improvement projects; Chicago reports that a large chain store increased its number of colored clerks; another company opened a branch with Negro employees, still and even twenty employees, and founders offered added openings for experienced moulders. In Denver a large automobile assembling plant agreed to experiment with the employment of colored workers in the plant and has already put three to work." Police Seek Mother Who Abandoned Baby The manner in which a white child is sometimes raised in a colored family was indicated last Wednesday morning when a six-weeks-old white infant was found by Mrs. Little Parsons, who heard the child crying in the hallway of her home, at 243 West 139th street. Mrs. Parsons' home is located in one of the exclusive residential sections of Harlem. The Gouinney entity desired that her infant daughter be raised in an atmosphere of refinement. Mrs. Parsons took the child to the West 135th street station, where the police removed it to the foundling ward at Bellevue Hospital. The baby was dressed in white clothing and wrapped in a pink blanket. Pinned to its clothing was an unsigned note, which read: "Please take care of this little sickling baby. Love and care for her. She is of good blood, but her mother and father are not living together. Her mother spends to work, but loves her very much. God bless you and baby and may He forsake me." Detective William N. Robinson of the West 135th street station, in charge of the investigation, said yesterday that he has reason to believe the child's mother is colored and the father white. "I expect to arrest the woman very soon," he said. CHICAGO MINISTER DEAD. CHICAGO, May 20.—The Rev. Lucillus Drane died Tuesday morning is the Daly Hospital, after ten days' illness.

She died within five minutes as the result of multiple compound fractures and internal injuries. sistant Districtty Attorney Foley is exonerating the stadium management and Colonel Jake Ruppert, owner, of all blame in the matter. "No provision could have been made which could have averted such a panic," said the Commissioner. Among others who worked diligently in administering aid to the injured, especially to women and children, was Louis Underwood, 318 West 141st street, a Stadium employee. Miss Price's 14-year-old brother, George, suffered shock and contusions of the body. The other victim of mob madness was Joseph Carter, 60, 218 East 128th street, who was found dead from internal injuries and a fracture of the skull. Skty others, nearly all white, sustained injuries as the crowd sought shelter from the sudden downpour of rain. Among the eighteen persons were expected to die, was James Gardner, 35, 65 West 133d street, who is confined to Lincoln Hospital with a fractured hlp. - Jose Hackett, 24, 214 Bradhurst avenue, was also on the casualty list, but was not seriously hurt, it is reported. Jose Hernandes, 22, 25 West 141th street, suffered fractured ribs. Victim Blames Closed Gate. Mason said he was positive that the stadium gate was closed against the crowd and that it was responsible in a large measure for so many injuries. He is under the care of Dr. Winston Scott, 131 Edgecombe avenue, who treated him for a dislocated left shoulder, contusions of the ribs on the left side, possible injury to the injured left hip and right eye. The left eye was also injured but not seriously. Mason was taken to Lincoln Hospital in a bus, but was sent home almost immediately. Other Harlemites injured were James and William McLawren, 26 and 33, respectively, 2897 Eighth avenue.

Musician's Estate Valued at $10,000 Widow Granted Right to Administer Henry H. Williams' Property Henry H. Williams, pioneer Harlem music teacher who died May 13 at his home at 224 West 131st street, left an estate of more than $10,000, it was revealed last week, when the Surrogate's Court granted letters of administration to his widow, Mrs. Mattle S.

Dental Caries (Direct) Cause.) FOR more than twenty-three hundred years, dental caries has formed a most interesting subject for medical writers and theorists. The cause of the disease has always warranted an authoritative research and investigation, resulting in many and divers opinions that lead to several theories to explain the cause of tooth decay. The theories, although quite fallacious, is the worm theory. Whether this theory arose as a result of imperfect observation or from a deliberate intention to deceive, history does not enlighten it. The worm theory was invented by some charisman who desired to defraud the public and thereby fill his purse. This theory is commonly believed in China at the present day and Chinese dentists preside to remove such parasites from the teeth. The worms, which are artificial, are dexterously placed in the mouth of the patient by the dentist during his treatment, and then extracted and held up to the mouth of the wondering but satisfied patient. No real investigation, however, that could be called scientific, was possible until the invention of the toothbrush for the treatment of tooth structure, both normal and diseased, could be studied as well as the minute bacterial forms which we now know to be the cause of so many diseases. Modern research has demonstrated that caries is formed by fermentative organisms acting upon the calcium frame-work of the tooth and dissolving it. The rest of the basic sub-structures of the tooth are washed away by the saliva, leaving a cavity. The section is progressive. (To Be Continued.) Harlem Girl Scouts In Annual Review Three hundred Girl Scouts from District 13, the district composed entirely of Negro girls in Harlem, took part in the Manhattan Girl Scouts' annual review, Saturday afternoon, at the Seventh Regiment Armory. Both Small and Glays Johnson, both men, were awarded silver stripes for five years' scouting experiences. Troops 155 and 91 were among the forty troops to receive victory ribbons for record attendance during the year. Miss Louise Parrott, executive of District 13, served as one of the officers in the 13th Regiment troops in the review were as follows: No. 51, Columbus Hill; 78, Public School No. 139; 91, New York Urban League; 99, St. Jude's, 108, Church of Transfiguration; 121, St. James; 124, Mt.

Harlem Democrats Want Own Leader John F. Curry, Tammany Leader, Disappoints Witaka Gathering Negro political leadership in Harlem was the theme of several addresses intended to be the preliminaries to the arrival of John J. Curry, white, the new leader of Tammany Hall, who was scheduled to speak Monday night before a representative gathering at the Witaka Club, 222 West 145th street, but for some unknown reason did not appear. Speakers praised Mr. Curry as a true friend of the Negro. Ferdinand Q. Morton, civil service commissioner, explained that in all public meetings he had not returned to the city from the races, in time to appear. Mr. Morton said afterwards, in a private interview, that Mr. Curry would most likely appear next Monday night or at some occasion to him. Negro Leadership Demanded. Attorney Cornellus W. McDougall, after stating that "I fear no man hating him, and I fear no man to give to Negroes representative positions because it makes him unpopular with his race and embarrasses him in his political and social connections. On the other hand, patronage given to Negroes by a Negro leader makes him popular with his race." Attorney McDougall stated further that in the occasion of the appointment of Mr. Morton, Tammany Hall has not given the Negro any worthwhile representation. Mr. Morton stated that he would not make his intended remarks except in the presence of Mr. Curry, but revealed that his recent conference with the new Tammany leader had been satisfactory. On Friday night Mr. Morton addressed the new Negro leader of which Westervolt Taylor is president, at the Witaka Club, giving advice on political progress in Harlem among young men. Monday's meeting was sponsored by the United Colored Democracy, the members of which firmly believe that the Negro should ally himself with dominant political party in his community in order to gain his rights. Would Change the South. Andrew M. Robinson, referred to as one of the oldest Democrats in the city state of Alabama, will finance within the Democratic party is destined to influence the Negro condition favorably, especially in the South.

Looki ooking | Your Best By FANNETTE. Choosing Your Stockings T= heading of this column, “Choos- ing Your Stockings,” implies that you will, of course, wear stockings. You do look so much better in them. Bare legs rob a girl of her modesty. They make her look bold, rob her of her effeminacy and Jay her open t insulting remarks. Not only do people look better in stockings, but most people look better im stockings that are not so sheer. ‘The other day I was walking behince @ woman whose legs were covered with varicose veins. They were blue and in some places red, and looked as it they were about to burst. And, of course, sie had on the sheerest of stockings. Had she worn the service- weight these defects would not have been half so bad. I wonder why people don't look at themselves in the mirror with eriti- cal eyes. Surely, if they did they would never do some of the foolish things they do. People with dark legs do not look well in very light stockings, as the color of the leg naturally shows through and gives the stocking & darker color than that you expected when you bought it, There are so many different, pretty shades of tan and brown to choose from that one ought not to have any difficulty. Tf your legs are halry, use a depila- tory, and even if the hairs do grow out, use St again. Since our legs have become such an important part of us, it behooves us to make them look their best. Best Sport Pages in Greater New York EIGHT Baseball as a Fan Sees It BY HAYMOND DRAKE. For The Associated Negro Press. THERE'S a deep, dull, ominous rumbling in the ranks of Negro baseball—growing louder each year—and if my informant is correct in his prophecies, the crisis is at hand. The game is due for a big shakeup; a general house-cleaning and thorough renovation, on its time of demise at the hands of the public is in sight. In other words, Negro baseball, as conducted today, is doomed. Any casual baseball fans are aware of the fact that Negro baseball is not what it should be—not what the fans, by their annual support, are entitled to expect. It is up to comers that its coming from the fans. Something else for Negro club owners to digest. Fans Demand Better Treatment. BACK in the old days, when no one even thought of a league, the fans took whatever they wanted and paid for it, accordingly—and they were satisfied for the time being. But as time weat on they watched the big leagues in action and finely decided that, in order to be successful, the Club owners of the country heard their demand for a league. Organized baseball came into existence among colored club owners' leagues. Life in baseball, it seemed, was due to become a big business. It did for a few brief seasons—and then dropped back into the same old rat. the leagues were still in existence instead of making progress and furnishing better ball for the fans who support the game. The fans on the other hand, decided to them, in the new life and build to the heights promised at the time of the organization. The fans waited long for the change. No change are ever made with the tactics employed by members of organized baseball and now it seems that they are ready for the showdown. FED on promises for YEARS THE THESE NEGRO baseball-have been fed on promises for the past few years. They have been promised all possible information concerning clubs in organized baseball, including all games played by league clubs, batting averages of all players in the league, fielding percentages, pitching percentages, and batting average. Date none has been forthcoming. There have been weeks in which no word could be had of some of the clubs, although the league has been playing in a regular league city. The fans were left to learn of the activities of the clubs as best they could, the news to newspapers, so that the public could be informed of their activities. Even Club Standing Neglected, SO DUMB have been most of the club owners of organization leagues in every city to even furnish the weekly newspapers with standings of the clubs. How in the world are news papers expected to co-operate with them when they make an appearance in the news, have views and apparently attempt to block the efforts of newspapers seeking information for their readers; how long do they expect the newspaper to be successful in business? Many weeks during the baseball season the fans must go without an necureate standing of the curries colored leagues, due wholly to the influence of the league and to the failure of the bodies to properly organize their publicity. Funs Wants to Know Things. A FAN said to the writer not long ago: "Why can't we have news of our colorado team facing a faceer, to be sure. However, I let him go ahead. "Of course," he continued, "I am aware of the fact that the colored leagues cannot have the widespread awareness that they can do far better than they have been doing, and I am sure that they would play to much larger gates if they gave more attention during the ball season I search through practically all of the colored papers and fall to find news of some of the ball teams—supposed to be in organized teams—that I would not. It must not be the case if we are to continue to patronize it. For years I have searched the papers for batting averages, fielding averages, etc., but so far I have not found any ball fans who pay hard-earned cash to witness colored ball games week after week during the season and never receive the consideration given to sandlot games. The game is failing to attract fans." It would seem to me that the club owners among the race would awaken to the fact that, if interest is to be found among the race, the fuss throughout the game, the fuss throughout the country must be given all possible news of the game in which they are interested. How they have neglected this feature of good business so long is one reason why they are not glance at any daily newspaper during the baseball season shows that the fans want to know what the bull clubs are doing, else why would so many columns be filled with information on complicated tables, averages, records, etc.? How long, do you suppose, the attendance of the big leagues would keep normal if the papers did not carry them? Not very long, then may rest leagues? It would seem, then, that, if all this publicity is necessary for the white league to keep going and make money, how much more necessary is to Negro baseball than possible publicity for their games? Baseball Publicity a Joke. DOES not take in a Philadelphia lawyer to see that Negro baseball publicity is the fact that some weeks one does not hear from some of the clubs of the vurlous leagues at all. When a certain club wins a game it is immediately to the newspapers, but when the same club reports the results of their games to the papers. And this happens in a city where organized baseball is supposed to be. Still other clubs have been known to go almost an entire season to report the results of their games to the papers making it impossible to keep any traces of their games with any degree of accuracy. Consequently, at the close of season the league officials had to guess the club in question. Nice publicity, but businesslike methods. But the joke is on the magnates. The fans refuse to go much further. Another had feature of baseball publicity is the fact that players are dropped from the roster of the club so mention is made of it in print. The CHOCOLATE-LA BARBA FIGHT TOPS BOUTS Is Jack Dempsey Simply Spoofing Once More? BERG, FLOWERS IN RETURN BOUT Suggestion Made in These Columns Carried Out by Garden Matchmaker The Jackie Kld Berg-Bruce Flowers fisticist race is to be resumed in Madison Square Garden on Thursday night. This is in compliance with the readjusted schedule of the boxing commission for summer clubs. Where Berg and Flowers left off in their thrilling ten-round duel a week ago last Friday, they will pick it up again. Their recent battle is still the talk of the town. 9 fighter ever came to this city to remain such plaudits as were those for Berg after he had fought those first three minutes of that first round. The cheers and general acclaim never weakened as the fight progressed and the wonder to the crowd such plaudits could battle so persistently and aggressively. It was that fight that prompted Matchmaker Tom McArdle to extend his fighting dates in the Garden. He met the Rochester last Friday's show, but the call for turn match between the Briton and the New Rochelle lad was too evident for him to pay no heed. Introduce a new-come-to-New Yorkers, a boy who has gained a country-wide reputation. This is Sammy Biltman, hard-hitting Philadelphia southpaw, do battle with the rugged and vlorous Irish Bobby Brandy of Jersey City. The opening ten-round will show another new one to New Yorkers in Coast wetterweight, who recently scored an inlet over Sergio Sammy Baker. He is to meet Tony Vaccarelli.

Nate George, unheralded and unnoticed Negro spinner of Whittier, picked ups in Southern California track and field history at the Colsum, Saturday afternoon when he defeated Frank Wyckoff and Charley Browne, and picked ups at the Annual A. A. U. track meet. George ran a smooth race, winning time 9:4-5 seconds. Wyckoff is remembered as the 19th-year winner of the defeated Charles Paddock last season. Another great upset of the afternoon was the spectacular running of Harry Chance, an Indian youth, who was established in 1904, when he lapped his field and won the six-mile run in 23 minutes, 44 seconds. Winning the race, George of a trip to the National A. A. U. meet to be held July 5 in New York. fact becomes known at the points where the player in question appears with some other club. In the meantime, the player is gone. The general public probably never knows what becomes of most of the ball players who leave one club for another. There are instances where a ball club hides its assets most completely overnight and no announcement made of it to the press. There was a time when the fans were blinded by their action, by their action, proclaiming them still blind—they are not. The truth of the matter is that the club owners are not aware of the fans they are leaving their park. Proper publicity will work wonders in restoring the waning interest in the game. Wise club owners might do well to keep their gates open. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1929 Hundreds Visit Training Camp of Cuban Sensation Last Sunday ONE of the biggest crowds that ever turned out to witness a boxer preparing for a battle saw Kid Chocolate go through his paces Sunday for his ten-round scrap with Fidel Lubarba at the New York Coliseum on Wednesday night. The gathering, made up mostly of motorists, took advantage of the drive to Orangeburg, N. Y., where the Cuban flash is training at Gus Wilson's camp. The spectators were rewarded by seeing some of the fastest milling ever engaged in by a lending principal and his sparmers. Chocolate was under instructions to let loose with everything he had, and particular stress was laid on the fact that he was not to pull his punches. As a result, he mussed up two sparring partners so badly that they will be of no use to Chocolate in his final days' work tomorrow. The boys put out of commission were Fred Haverlock and Joe Arguelles. Both of them, however, showed no brotherly love for Chocolate, and the "need" can thank his heavy head and ear protector that he was not entirely humiliated. They tore into him, swapping blow for blow for six rounds following two bouts of two rounds each in which Chocolate engaged Tony Leto and "Baby Face" Quintana. Among the spectators was Jess McMahon, promoter of the Coliseum, who acted as host to several out-of-town boxing directors including "Play Fair" Brown of Canada and Herman Taylor and Bob Gunns of Philadelphia, who are staging the bout between Chocolate and Vidal Gregorio, conqueror of Joe Seifarou, at Shire Park on May 27. Another interested onlooker was Mrs. Louis Gufrezer, proxy bride of Chocolate's manager, who arrived in this city from Havana just Saturday. McNahon announced that he has been flounded with requests for reservations from out of town, quite a few coming from Serraton and Wikoff. He has been asked to provide reservations for Serraton and Chick Feldman, boxing commissioner of that city, head a delegation that have commissioned Jack Downey, local sportsman and hotel owner, to secure a block of tickets for them. One hundred sportsmen and hotel owners have been asked to provide white, half of LaBarron's friends are on their way from Los Angeles. The house will be completely filled when Chocolate and LaBarron square up to Frank Ferguson and Ray Calhoun, who are in charges of the tickets.

Please allow me to congratulate on your two splendid articles in this week's Amsterdam News. The first one, "You Must Have the Urge," dealing with athletics, and the second, dealing with Harlem."Committing on the lack of organization among NGO actors. I have admired for a long time the competent editing of your departments and especially like the very interesting news and information from Europe. Keep up the good work. Yours very truly, ARTHUR E. KING. Anent Our Editorial on The Death of "Tad" New York Evening Journal May 17, 1929. Editor, The Amsterdam News, New York City, New York. Dear Sir: May I thank you for the splendid edi- tion of the death of Tad which appea- ned in your paper recently? Naturally we all feel his loss keenly, and are indeed pleased to read your fine tribute. Your writer understood the heart of Tad. His cartoon thoroughly despite his humor and light-heart- ness he was a deep thinker, and alway- s a friend of the man who tried to perhaps it may interest you to know that, in order to meet the demand of our readers, we have begun to reprint some of Tad's best work of former days. As an associate of Tad for twenty- five years, as well as editor of the Journal, I again extend my sincere thanks. Very truly yours. W. A. CURLEY. Should We Build on It? Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Sport Editor, Amsterdam News, New York City. Dear Sir—In my estimation there are many reasons why our race as a whole should be more important than activities of its members. Every reason isn't important, but the ones that I think will help alter situations I shall give below. Race pride, to begin with, is the core of that I am striving to put an enormous weight upon. You will say it can't be done, or it won't last, the same it is with our athletes. If we do not take a great pride in them, give them our heartiest support, they will not stay at the long long run. We will not maintain it goal without the co-operation of its followers? I don't think so. Loyal support is the backbone of all success, whether it be domestic, political, etc. Pride alone even is not enough. We combined they become a winner. Secondly, a feeling of subordination called inferiority complex is our big obstacle. This feeling carries with it that we cannot observe him, nor can we observe his own abilities and doubt the possibilities of other members of his race. The sooner we can get hold of the seat of this inferior feeling and cast it out, the better it will be. In conclusion, I shall leave an open question, "Is there enough ballyhoo?" is there enough publicity given our athletes (not in this paper), on post-race television, and in publicity will either make you or tend towards your end. I am hoping you will find the reca son or recaunt you see on pages. Very truly yours. MISS KATHARYN BYNUM. 310 W. 15th street. New York, NY Step Right Up, Gentlemen! May 16, 1929. Sports Editor, Amsterdam News, New York, N. Y. I respond to your query concerning the lack of interest in Negro sports. I wish to state that one word answers the question for tennis: SNOBBERY. One observes more reasons why there is more interest shown in Negro baseball. The meritorious Harlem Negro fails to patronize Negro Balti. Black Sox 5 0 1,000 Lincoln Giants... 3 1 .750 Homestead Grays 4 2 .667 Cuban Stars... 2 2 .500 Hilldale ... 2 6 .250 Bacharach Giants 1 6 .143 ball games at Protectory Oval lies in the natural careless psychology of the Negro. He doesn't stop to think that he can make sacrifices to make sacrifices for the maintenance of Negro sports. He is willing, even anxious, to see colored ball clubs do well, but few realize that it is his or her personal duty to contribute a share toward helping to support the Negro ball team. No are always willing to let George do it. Take the economic view of the matter. We know that Negroes can afford to attend all games for various reasons. Well: At most Negroes read daily papers, and those interested in sports matter very little or nothing at all about Negro games, while one will find page after page heralding the doings of the white players and the white clubs. And as the Negro is naturally careless, and funds to attend a game his first thoughts are of the players and clubs he reads so much about. Therefore, he heads for the Pelo Grounds or Yankee Stadium. His nibl to himself is that they are so much nearer. They are so serious and, to my way of thinking pathetic-Negro tennis clubs seldom, if ever, conduct membership drives and their news notices succeed in conveying the idea that they are a superior group, well satisfied with the games they are serious and annoyed with strangers or new members. In other words, the public gets the idea that they are not wanted and not needed; hence, lack of interest. Yet it is commonly known that new members, or, in other words, fresh blood, are in and the morale of any organization. I welcome this opportunity to tell New Yorkers what others think of them. Tennis players are the most clanish of all sports, and they are superior to all non-players. Even their practice play is never open to the public. Visitors who are not sponsored by members present are made to feel that he or she is trespassing. They are obligated ignoring the stranger. They (the players) seem to be afraid that association with non-players, or strangers, will contrain them. One wonders if the so-called strangers are being toward young strangers often drives them to poolrooms and other dangerous places to seek companions far removed from their status but whom they find comfortable. They are CLAN-NISH or SELF-OFFINIONATED. Speaking of SNOBIRY-why, a New Yorker can easily out-Washington Washington any old day. This being can cause confusion and support of the public? But mark me thoroughly, it is the DUTY of the INTELLIGENT NEGIO to set examples for the LESS FORTUNATE to follow. Why should one go to a tennis court, or bunch of university credits in one's land? Personally, I played tennis in and near Chicago for twelve years, yet in New York I have coached a single invitation to affiliate myself with a tennis club. I know the battle is on. That's good. I am ready. I will. LET MR. SNOB STEP RIGHT UP AND GET WHAT'S COMING TO HIM. I respectfully yours, the DANNY HAIR PUTTER. 33 West 11th street, New York, N. Y. Bell Is Not Surprised 62 West 140th St., New York City, May 20, 1929. Romeo 4. Dougherty, Sporting Editor, Amsterdam News. I am very sorry relating to the lack of interest in sport is very timely. I am not surprised at the few answers you have received regarding same, as this is a confirmation of the lack of interest in sport. The question itself is of such importance that it is impossible to answer it adequately in a short letter, so if you will permit me space, I shall endeavor to give some length. In recent years the stereotype Rival Bantamweights Express Confidence BY FIDEL LA BARBA In saying that I hope to win and feel certain of winning tonight, I do not lose sight of the fine record that Kid Chocolate has made. A long list of knockouts impresses me as much as it does anyone else, but I have supreme confidence in my own ability to beat this contender for the championship. My condition could not be better. Making future depends largely upon what happens tonight. I can assure my friends and followers that the best fight of my career is in my fists for tonight. I am ready for the harder battle of my life. I have not watched my opponent. I have not, but his record against the leading boxers of America and Australia points out to me that he must not be underestimated. I have become accimated to America and have come to learn so-called Yankee boxing. My ambition is to win not only the bantamweight championship, but also the weatherweight title, as did that outstanding boxer in the old days—George Dixon. I am confident and I am fit and my aim is to win as quickly as possible tonight. Much depends on this fight and I must and will win. to all questions of this nature has been "The war." In this case there is some justification for this answer. How well we to remember Alpha, St. Christopher, Spartan, Smart Set, Carlton Y. M. C. A. Salem Crescent and what they represented in field and track and diamond and court and was not Cum Tosey's name on the tongue of every fan? And how about Bill Madden and his Incorporators. All this was in the days prior to the war. Then there were the Lincoln Giants and the Royals, Dick Reddling, Sun Toys, Dr. Wiley, Joe Williams. Well do we remember the presidential Leo Tolstoy, Olympic Fleish. Was there interest in sports in those days? I guess yes. And in cricket and tennis Prospect. Central and Van Cortlandt Parks were the scenes of many hard-fought battles of enthusiasm roots on the sidelines. Then came the call to arms, the manhood of the country was called on the men of the country. The young men of our race, those foremost in every line of sports, were taken away. And those of who were not notiled outright or no jopeless, were taken away, so often eventually that they were lost to the sports we all loved so well. Lionel La Beel and Hermann (Sharkey) Foster are examples of what the war did for athletic When the best in the games were taken away the youngsters were left to carry on but lack of experience and skill in their efforts their effort to carry out the plans of their predecessors and right here is where interest started to wane. The games were no longer interesting; club games were not organized and the auxiliaries organized for the purpose of furnishing entertainment for the soldier and sailor boys. Dancing became popular and not only the soldier and sailors, but those youngsters we had expected to carry on got the craze from which they have never fully recovered. This waning interest and for this it is also to blame. Pald representatives were no longer seen at any games. The published results were therefore never used and usually blamed as only the winning team sent in the report of the games. In order to again bring that interest, that enthusiasm, that those of us who were old enough in those days re-entered the world, we must be organized. The schools must be invaded, both boys and girls. Right here I want to state that so long as the girls are kept out of athletics, so long as boys are kept out of cheerleading sections must be organized, as in the days of Capt. Henry Wilson and Charlie Garland, those two fearless cheer leaders of those days. Keep the girls on the side lines if we can't get boys to love to know that their best girl is watching him try for a race, or a jump, or a goal. And last but not least, let the newspapers of the country cover every line of account of every game or event won by any member or team of our race. Let every club or organization extend press privileges to every credentialed representative of every event, our account of every event, only by certified co-operation of press and clubs and other organizations can the public be induced to again become interested in the games of our race, lads and ladies. We will be amused. Very sincerely yours, GEO. M. BELL. Havana Red Sox Add Nos. 42 and 43 to Win List The Havana Red Sox of Havana, Cuba, continued their dazzling pace through the South by adding victory number 42 and 43 to their consistence. They also featured the Reichert Giants of Evansville, Ind., entry in the Southern Colored Professional League, in a sizeing 11-11ning ball game, 2 to 1, and after being rained out of the Monday game, they were where the Red Sox downed the Bristol High School nine by a 7 to 2 score. The visitors lured up to their republic of Italy, and as we as playing sensational ball, the song entitled "Whoopee" in their Cuban dialect, much to the amusement of the crowd, performing their famous "Shadowball Exhibition" and playing their jabbering in Spanish, with the fans in an uproach from the time the TRACK CHAMPS AT FRANKLIN F'D TRACK CHAMPS AT FRANKLIN F'D Edwards Among Stars to Perform at Philadelphia May 31st PHILADELPHIA, May 13. - Five champions will defend their titles in the forthcoming 53d annual intercollegiate track and field champion-at Franklin field May 31 and June 1.

The other is Nichols, of Stanford, who won the 120-yard high hurdles in 15 1-10 seconds by inches from Collier, of Beverly. The other three champions are all Easterners, who last year successfully withstood the assault of the tallest man in the College of New York University, in the half-mile run; J. Reid, of Harvard, in the two-mile run, and Kleshorelst, of Yale, in the 220-yard low hurdles, in the runners for the East to defend titles. The running of Edwards in the Pennsylvania relay carnival in the quarter-mile indicates that he should win for the half-mile, with an opportunity to win the quarter, although the dual victory is hardly possible in such an excellent field of quarter-milers as are certain to face the starter.

The Graf Zeppelin WHAT HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH OUR LACK OF INTEREST IN SPORTS? SOME DEEP THINKING Home Ownership as Applied to Sport and the Inspiration of an Airship BY THE EDITOR ACK of the true urge for the support of our athletic games was proven, to our way of thinking, when out of a possible 45,000 readers, with quite a few following the sport pages of this paper, but a few letters came in answer not only to our query as to the reasons for the failure of the latter to respond with more enthusiasm, but ignoring the fact that a reward was offered at the same time for some of those willing to devote a few minutes to putting their ideas on paper and investing in a two-cent stamp. However, one writer has given his idea of what he considers the solution of the problem and, while it will not solve the problem, it has a majority, it has furnished us with a splendid reason for filling this column today, Mr. Henry Richardson believes that if Negroes would look to the shirts that Mr. Richardson thinks would be theirs in ducking the Harlem landlords, a spirit of athletic rivalry would be born among the people living in these areas. No doubt Mr. Richardson would be home owners in time and, without the burden of rent, the young women and young men whom he tells us at present loaf around the streets and have finished to go in for healthy sports. Which brings to mind the attitude maintained not only by the so-called "middle chass" but by quite a number of other groups in the shipments in the shipships are concerned. Hero we are faced not with a lack of the urge but by a total absence of the pioneer spirit, for in many suburban areas the shipments before Mr. Eddie's son fixes the streets so that the grandchildren of Aunt Dilah and Uncle Tom decide to grace sold ships with their presence. The sun shining on a Saturday afternoon or on a Sunday evening, where we can swat the ball with a club or chase the elusive little rubber sphere over the net is not sufficient to take the children of the Sun" the mind that a frightened might snicker when they come to see them and the streets are muddy. The question then comes down to the fact that we must be willing to make a little sacrifice (pardon the smile, we are thinking of the crime) we are "Got my mind on that SA CLARA And the way Clara puts her one hot piece of concentration Oh Man!...but that's only is something that's simply tired business men—it's 'great record today—at your Record No. 144 GOT MY MIND ON THAT THING GIN MILL BLUES OTHER POPU Record No. 144 Gamblin' Charley Depot Blues "Got my mind my mind on that thing!"

In the meantime we can in imagination hear the drone of the mosquitoes of Zeppelin. Even though it is well past the point with what enthusiasm the captain that ship makes his sacrifices in the cause of science. yesterday he was at war with France. Today he was forced to leave the Mosquitoes and Frenchmen enthusiastically welcomed him to France. Willing an army were outstretched to grasp and guide his Zeppelin to a safe haven, and when the company asked the French for permission to move the French to France to replace those that failed consent was gladly and hastily given.

"Heredied together," Mr. Richardson concludes his letter to this paper last week. "as we are now, there seems to be but one slogan: 'Everyone for him!' As one who many years ago decided that gathering a bunch of rent receipts was an unhealthy indoor sport, we laid ourselves to the suburbs and have been galloping behind a lawnmower, also engaging in other outdoor chores during the week. As we will do a great deal in keeping us in trim for that time when enough of our own will gather to at least erect a net so that we can too can join in chasing the bounding little rubber ball and be all set to play. We know that we have found inspiration to comment on Mr. Richardson's letter. Well, we are going to hope that at least twenty-five letters on the subject will come in before we take the rostrum before the judge's in support of Mr. Richardson. We are not something to confuse with. We are not at present agreeing with the gentleman's stand, but we are thinking deeply and recalling that the foundation of all sports was laid by there enjoying a superb game. We should ask us, will be readily seen by those who read and observe, and not by the mouthologists playing the game on the sidelines or before the scoreboards.

LLOYD DEMPSEY READY TO BOX GODFREY Yep, We'll Believe It When We See It, and Not Before Jack Dempsey, Frankie Casale tells us, has decided to treat his synthetic beezer to the familiar smell of the resin-dust again. Within ten days he will form a team with a roaring competition in a fifteen-round brawl with either Max Schmeling or George Godfrey. The bout will take place in September at an outdoor swatarium, which is to be erected in a building with a soaking capacity of 125,000. The former heavyweight champion must seize his connection with the Dempsey, Fugazy, Cole trumvirate to participate in activities in this Stale. A rule in effect blocks a sockologist from affiliation with, or having financial interest in, any club under the jurisdiction of the May Break Garden's Monopoly. The news that Fugazy and Cole will promote the altercation is a definite warning that Madison Square Garden may be broken this year. Dempsey's comeback is based on a burning desire to lift Fugazy and Cole into the lofty promotional position occupied by the Walker Boxing Law. The futility of Dempsey's matchmaking efforts dawned upon him when he failed rather dismally to arrange matches between him and Bradock several weeks ago. The fact that the Garden signed Loughran and Bradock, and also succeeded in hooking Al Singer despite the latter's verbal insistence that he would spurred Dempsey to the bitter realization that he could hope to rival the Carey forces only through the medium of a bellcose comeback. Both Schmeling and Godfrey have the Garmen heavyweight is to be given preference in the event that he emerges victorious over Pauluino Uzudun . in the Milk Fund bout. If he is beaten Godfrey will be Dempsey's opponent. A contract signed by Arthur Bulow, repudiated manager of Der Max, gives the German heavyweight the right to per cent of the奖金. Fuggy and Cole agreed to pay Schmeling 28 per cent (or boxing the Bounding Basque shortly before the Milk Fund repurchase) stepped in and clinched the bout. Dempsey is en route to this city from Montreal, where a conference in connection with the signing of a bout at the Montreal Baseball Park on July 4 was held last week. A Canadian promoter offered the Manassa Mauler $250,000 to fight Rolleur, but Jack declined it, asserting that he wouldn't put on his ring togs again for less than a million dollars. Dempsey will get close to a million for fighting either Schmeling or Godfrey. Fugazy and Cole will share in the profits of the show only under the terms of the agreement that threw Dempsey into association with them. Fugazy and Cole hold exclusive rights to Dempsey's ring services for the next two years. Editor's Note: As we go to press a dispatch from the front brings the information that a prior engagement will keep Schmeling from meeting Dempsey. Here's Dempsey's chance to settle right down to Godfrey. Will he do it? Ah! ! ! ! kins, Hampton; 1 minute, 11 2/5 seconds. Plunge for distance, Tyson, Drew of Howard; Harprove of Hampton; 44.2 feet.

BOTH FIGHTERS ARE CONFIDENT La Barba and Kid Chocolate to Put Everything in Coming Bout Overconfidence may have its disadvantages in the prize ring, but in the fidel LaBarba and Kid Chocolate, who meet in the bantamweight elimination championship match at the New York Velodrome this Wednesday night, it is a flippity proposition. Those closely connected with the inner circle of boxing aver that never in the history of the sport have there been two principal matches yet to be the midst of a hard training campaign. Both LaBarba and Chocolate are hitting harder in their training bouts than ever before and as a result of this they are beginning to get胜利, opening partners during the few remaining days of hard physical preparation. "Baby Face" Quintana, stabblemess of joined the Cuban flash N. X, last week and filled a left vacant by Ignacio Ferrari, who was punched out by Chocolate Gonger, from a victory over N. Sing. Que. Chocolate Gonger, weight at the Olympia A. C. on last Wednesday night, tore into Chocolate as if it depended on their battle, but Chocolate Gonger has been informed by his scouts that LaBarba plans a rushing fight, and the Cuban spent his last few days of training, opening up his footwork and countering an anticipation of this sort of a battle. The addition of Quintana to the staff of sparting partners was a weltering herding of three helpers unmercifully in his training bouts and they are about worn out. The attached unusual crowd at Stillman's gymnasium. One reason for this is because the Los Angeles bantam trains like heights and his sessions with Phil Tobias and real ring battles. Several rows of seats were installed last week and approved by Firefighters, as well as the Boxing Commission. The plans as now arranged provide for 18,000 seats, but it the prices scaled up to 49,000 for the house will gross $80,000. Dexter Tilts Washed Out The double header scheduled for Dexter Park was postponed when the game was cancelled, and it was possible to play. The first game between the Cuban Stars and the Hilldale Club, which was to decide the winner, was halted in the third period. Batting 'Em Out With Lloyd's Crack Lincoln Giants at Protectory Oval THE Lincoln Giants left Monday, May 20, for a two weeks' trip on the road. Before they return to their home grounds at Protectorial Oval, June 2, they will meet Hildale, Baltimore Black Sox and Homestead Greys of Pittsburgh. These games should give the patrons of Jimmie Keenan's baseball team a true line on the chances of New York bringing the first pennant of the new league to the big city. We have a sort of a hunch that the Lincoln are going to be the top of the league becoming noticeable; they are buckling down to business; they are playing the game from start to finish; they are showing great respect for patrons of Protectorial Oval in their deportment on the field and they are looking better every game; they are exhibiting an "urge," a word used by our sports editor in a strong searching article In The Amsterdam News, issue of 15th inst., that augurs well for a continuance of the speedy play which the fans have noticed since the beginning of the season. The team is the first team to increase in their ability to cope with hundred-thousand-dollar infields, tenants of big league grounds and all other kinds of infields and tenants. Like many another scribe and fan, we hope they return at top of the League and stay there. "A MAN worth while is a man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong." We don't know so much about the dead part of the wrong in this particular instance that we are about to call your attention to, but we do know that did Jude Pluvius has been giving Jimmie Keenan some advice on how to play the game. We prived James K. of many dollars this season, and yet he can smile and crack jokes with a disappointed crowd of fans while thunder rolls and rain pours and rain-checks are issued and dollars vanish. Wot a man, wot a man! WELL, we are nothing if not optimistic. There is nothing happens that is so bad you can't get some good from it. We would like to see the entire press of the country take note of the Negro American League's games and the work of its players. It would be great. But it seems like something out of the ordinary must happen on the field, in the clubhouse or at one of the many meetings of the magnates before we will see an actual headliner broadcast through the country. We have been thinking very seriously along that line during the last few days and we have come up with an inclusion that the best way to gain national-wide publicity would be through a loud, heraldic, respectable scandal. You know, there are things that look awful and sound worse when you first see and hear them, but if you are a good diplomat everything can be ironed out nice and smooth and you can stand, in the eyes of the public, a worthy gentleman or institution or organization, and everything good you were not worthy of. To U. S. and Co. the Negro American League is acting too tame. Yell; roar; godolimity. (Apologies to O. McIntyre.) IF THERE is any third baseman in the League playing that bag any neater than that boy Riggins of the Lincolnies, they are crackerjacks. Riggins is making all sorts of stops and throws and showing a spirit of aggressiveness that is bound to carry him to the height of premier third-sacker of the League. The young man Thomas, pitcher for the Lincoln Giants, went into the box against the hard-hitting Bachrachs last Sunday and held them down to two hits in the four innings played. He is a nervy little bugger, and no doubt, will be heard from in a big way this season. Keep your feet on the ground, Thomas! LOYD, at first base, seems to have steadied the infield of the Lincoln to a remarkable degree. Less errors are being made and plays are being executed that heretofore were not thought of by his fielders. With due respect to the manager's judgment, we must say that he should have been on that bag a season or two ago. He is going to play the bag. Yes, Lloyd is going to play it. FROM reports emanating from very good authority, young Mr. Seay of the Royal Giants is playing a great game at second base for that team and hitting with the best of them. There is nothing to stop this boy from being one of the best ball players in the game. He likes his profession; of exemplary hands, and he is ambitious. His team mates proclaim him the best second baseman in the game. The Royals have another young man in Palge who is now playing out of his position at first base. Palge loves the game, which is a great asset to a player's career; he is a fielder and a left-side hitter. He would be a good man for any team. I am talking a little fast. He is with a team at present time, and Mr. Redding is his manager. So far this season, Redding has been pitching great ball. Old Dlek seems to improve with age. NEXT Sunday the patrons of Protectory Oval will have an opportunity of seeing teams of the League in action other than the home team. While the Lincoln are giving battle to the Black Sox in Baltimore, the Oval grounds will be staging a struggle between two teams that will be on neutral grounds and in regulated League games. The Cuban Stars will clash with Hildale and a spirited game is assured. The Hildale team is just coming into their own, as their defeat of the Homestead Greys last Saturday was when a bunch of Hildale get going they are about to stop. Pompey, not satisfied with the defeat his boys administered to the Lincoln earlier in the season, has added considerable strength to his team since its appearance at the Oval and he is confident his boys from CAMPBELL Out With Lloyd's ts at Protectory BY SOL WHITE Havana will be in the money when the season closes. Jimmie Keenan sprung a surprise on the folks last Sunday when he produced Judy Gans as an addition to the umbrella staff of Forbes and Connelly. While Forbes called balls and strikes, Connelly and Gans worked the boxes. We expect forbes to be the next big hit. The authority, will have the grounds in first-class shape, he having been engaged by Jimmie to look after the field—another commendable trait in the sportsmanship of the Lincoln's owner. The first game will be called at 1:45. You don't have to spend much time getting to the grounds. It is forty minutes from 138th street and Lenox Avenue. Take way to 17th street and Tremont avenue surface car direct to gate of Protectory Oval. RECTOR Sports Excursion to Be Run From Cuba A sports excursion is being run from Havana, Cubs, to bring fight fans of city here for the Kid Chocolate-Fidel La Harba bantam championship Coliseum tonight. Wednesday, May 22. Jess McMahon, promoter of the bout, received a cable order last week for 100 ringside seats for college rookies. The charity is being supported by Adolfo Font, Cuban sportsman, who also is arranging for the visitors to see the two baseball games between the Xankees and Washoe. The game will be at Stadium, May 21 and 22, and the Glants-Braves' contests at the Polo Grounds on May 23 and 24. Reservations at the working press board of the Coliseum have newspapers sending staff correspondents to cover the bout. REILLY WINS OVER JENKINS Boys Went Into Extra Round to Decide Contest Tuesday Tuesday Eddie Reilly, unattached, of Bellerose, won the decision over Elias Jenkins, Astoria Knights of Columbus boxer, after an extra round of the semi-final bout. The 182-pound class, the feature contender, was a weeky amateur bout of the Floral Park Council, Knights of Columbus, last Tuesday night. The second round of the third session Jenkins rallied to earn a draw, but Reilly had more left in the extra round and won the decision. The bout took much more out of the jersey than Mollypeep in the final bout of the class by a decision. Another feature bout saw Mickey Tucker in the final bout of a brawl from Henry Schachser, unattached, in the 118-pound special bout. **The summary:** 112-Pound Class-Tony Albano, unattached, knocked out Joe McCarthy, unattached, knocked out Louis Malone, unattached, knocked out Mike La Salle, unattached, first round.

You don't have to spend much less than thirty minutes from 138th way to 177th street and Tremont avenue. P. O. Tennis Players at McCombs Park Club Next Sunday afternoon McCombs Dam Park will be the scene of the first annual contest of post office employees affiliated with the Clerks' Tennis Club to determine who shall be their leader for the present season. As was announced some weeks ago through the columns of this paper, these men are determined to give the captaincy of their club only to one who has proven himself best on the playing field. At their regular meeting last Sunday, held at the residence of their secretary-treasurer Woman G. Calhoun, they drew for their field day was made in real tournament style by a committee consisting of Gonzalo Mina of Hudson Terminal station, John D. Todd Jr. of Varrick street station and "Henny" Rhodes of Brooklyn. Eight men, due to their known reputations in tennis, were seeded from the club's roll of twenty-five members. Ted Hooks is placed at the top in the upper bracket and before he must win the first round, the manager of the bottom-bracket he must down such sterling performers as Sydney Hardy, Lynn Bryn, Andrew Tennant, and While Mina, who leads the bottom bracket, looks a sure thing for the finals, any error on his part and he may stumble over. Fosse, Termino, with him, or the easy-going Clarence Ryan, who now makes his home in Brooklyn, who parks have not been in shape, due to bad weather, the rented grounds, where one must pay by the hour, have been doing a job, and men, who are eager to be in good shape next Sunday. Play will begin promptly at 12 o'clock, and with post-training means we just skip thirty offer days. The "Clerks" are already in receipt of two challenges for match games from local clubs, Corona and Jamaica, respectively. Accepted of the challenge, the Clerks only because the "Clerks" have lacked a captain, and nothing would be considered official without one. After next Sunday, however, they propose to send the Clerks and then all others who may care for a stiff battle on the tennis court. Couple Walk 18,000 Miles LOS ANGELES, Cal. May 17 (ANP) - Mr. and Mrs. Nebraska WILLIAMS plunging 18,000 miles at this point. They started from Savannah, Ga. last year.

Tennis Body In Fine Meeting Progressive Program Outlined for the Coming Court Season One of the most interesting meetings of the New York Tennis Association took place on Monday evening, May 13 at the assembly rooms of the New York Urban League. With the largest attendance that ever sat in on a meeting of the association, the body laid down a most comprehensive and progressive program to be followed out during the coming season. It was the first time that a definite program had been outlined by the executives of the organization, and shows that at last real constructive work is to be done for New York tennis. The delegates, players and fans in attendance entered into the proceedings with real enthusiasm that augurged for the formation of a national team and shows a readiness to co-operate with the officers of the body. Among the many recommendations submitted to the general body by the executive Committee are the following: 1-Organization of a committee to propagate the game among junior players, developing ways and means for the proper instructions in the correct rudiments of the game. 2-Ways and means for closer relations with, and co-operation of the delegates. 3-An increase in the delegations from the associated clubs, with official invitations to the president and secretary of each club to attend all meetings of the association, this with the interest in the rank and file with the work of the organization. 4-Election of officers at an annual meeting to be held in January of each year, and committees will have time to prepare their work before the start of the active season. 5-Regular stated meetings, held throughout the year. 6-Revision of the organization and By-Laws of the organization.

League, received individual awards in the form of medals. H. J. Dangerfield physical director and head coach of the School League made a short talk to the school about the efforts of the Y. M. G. A. in such activities and presented medals to the following boys: Hollon. Schested, the basketballiller, Jackson, Smith, Harrison and Ella. The Carlton Sunday School League was started in the winter of 1925. Much time and effort has been given to the league in an attempt to interest the schools of Brooklyn in this form of competition. The league has had many obstacles to deal with, but it felt now that with the sincere co-operation of the players, superintendents and players that things will be running smooth. This past season four Sunday schools entered, namely, St. Philip's, St. Thomas, St. Peter's and St. Peter Claver. It is the hope of those interested that another season will see Holy Trinity, Bercan school, and St. Peter's school lines up in the Carlton "Y". The success of the league from year to year will depend upon the number of Sunday schools entered, and the initial jobs on the part of team managers to inject the spirit of cooperation. This is the only type of competitive activity among our Sunday schools as a group, and Queens basketball league in which there are possibly 80 teams entered each year. To date, however, Concord school and day school playing in the Brooklyn and Queens league. More of this type of representation should be urged on the part of the Negroes of Brooklyn. The members of the Rose Tree Business and Social Club played tennis on Sunday morning, the former being were Dr. Field and members who played were Dr. Field and Mark, Elli K Bourne and M. Simpson A PAGE OF BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND NEWS BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND OFFICE: 868 FULTON STREET, BROOKLYN, N. Y. TEN Finds Signs of Progress on Trip Finds Signs of Progress on Trip Brooklynite, Back From Recent Trip, Tells of Observations "While the Negro in the North is doing fairly well from a business standing, it is not measuring up to his brother the Southwest and West," is the opinion of Allen Dillen, one of Brooklyn's most prominent business and business men. These views were made known by Mr. Dillen a few years ago, and he returned an avenue. He had just returned from a lengthy stay at Hot Springs. Ark., where he had gone for his heath, and he was in sections of the country and made these observations. He was a deacon in the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, of which the Rev. T. S. Harten is pastor, left for her Hot Springs on Feb. 20, 1915, and was a friend, the Rev. Timothy White, pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church. He was where they met the Rev. J. B. Robinson, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church, who joined the party. Dr. B. H. C. Baptist preachers, and the edifice in which he preaches cost over $135,000, with an automobile and chauffeur. The three men left Pittsburgh to torment the organization that the outstanding business that he noted there was the Foro College of which Mrs. Anne M. P. T. Malone and Mrs. Robert M. P. T. Malone Dillard told of visiting this great plant, which has been built up by a company that had been of the great impression that had been regarded to the progress of the Negro. On March 2 the party arrived at the office of the Connaught Blinga, the Chicago banker; H. P. Morgan, president of the Safe Bus Company; and a company that has forty-three buses in that city that are patronized by white people, and Sarah Rector, the Rev. Dr. Smith, a former Baptist minister at Syracuse, N. Y., and in Arkansas Mr. Dillard, Dr. White and Dr. Robinson noted the workings of the organization known as the Negro League, and upon its 7,000 members. In this building are the offices of the order, a hospital, baths and a bank. Mr. Dillard had a chance to see how the organization works when it is run. He saw the organization forward a check for $2,000 to a business man when it was thought that his white coat would be lost. He lose his business unless he met certain notes that would not be extended. The hospital is modern in every way and equals anything Mr. Dillard has seen in the country. It is in charge of Dr. John E. Eve, who has served as the director of the serviation Mr. Dillard states that he believes that Dr. Eve is one of the best surgeons in the country. He huge bath operated by the woodworkers also an outstanding business venture. In other ways, the Negro in Hot Springs and other poles are alive to visit to Little Rock, Ark. Here they also found marked progress. They were controlled by the Mosice Templars. En route home the party stopped at Norfolk, where a guest of Dr. Richard Strong, a cousin of Mrs. Dillard. Dr. Strong is president of the Metropolitan Bank. He was in a prime rise in seeing white people making deposits in this bank. He had been under the impression that racial differences in feeling the South is not as bad as it is painted in some cases. Throughout Virginia and North Carolina Negro is taking advantage of "every commercial opportunity, and seems to be making greater strides then his north, despite the conditions there.

Among some of them are the following: "Modern Concepts of American Idealism," Lionel Richardson; "The Value of an Idea," by S. Crichlow; "Christianity," Its Meaning and Value," I. Gibbons; "Should the Negro Discard Religion," R. O'Neal. The society is now conducting a questionnaire on some of the latest books published on Negro life which is expected to be of great value in estimating the trend of the reading public. A science meeting will be held in June, at which time several lectures will be delivered, among which are "The Significance of Scientific Research," "The Earth and Conceptions of Its Origin," The exact date for this meeting will be announced later.

Wibecan, the militant leader and champion of equal rights, on Wednesday when he appeared with Mr. Gowdy as his witness in the Federal Building. According to Mr. Wibecan, who is past grand exalted ruler of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, he was incensed at the action of the clerk who appeared to single them out to vent his prejudice. "I told the clerk, whose name I understand is Moore, that I was employed downstairs and that I would appreciate any consideration he would show, because we were busy," Mr. Wibecan stated to a representative of the Amsterdam News. "He told us to take a seat in the corner. There was a whole roomful of people. We took a seat and exchanged a few words quietly, whereupon this Mr. Moore ordered us to keep quite and made a bluff about getting the U.S. Marshal. There were others talking on the other side of the room, but he picked us out." "Eventually he called Mr. Gowdy who had passed all the other tests, and Mr. Moore gave him a paper to read. Mr. Gowdy made some little mistake, perhaps because his eyesight was bad, and Mr. Moore rejected him and told him that he would notify him when to come back." "This clerk's whole attitude indicated a feeling of unfriendliness toward Mr. Gowdy, That's not the kind of treatment one expects at the hand of some government clerk, and we won't tolerate it." "I'll certainly bring it to the attention of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 of the Eiks. We protested in the case or Judge Atwell, and we'll certainly not stand for having anyone show any feeling against us in their official position as in this case." "I gathered from Mr. Moore's way of speaking that he was from the South, and I told him in fact that he couldn't bring these methods up North when he spoke sharply to us." Mr. Wibecan has been an employee in the U.S. Post office for over thirty-five years, and is the only Negro foreman in the Brooklyn Post Office. There are several special clerks there. He has always been in the forefront of those who have taken on the cudgels for the Negro. It has been intimated by some leading white men that if Mr Wixx had the rights of the Negro he would have received more political preferment than he has. He was recalled that at the testimonial that was given him last year in the Academy of Musco that he stated that he would rather fight for the rights of his race than to abide by them. The Cowdy case is another indication of his loyalty and fearlessness. Notes of Flushing The members and the friends of the Macedonia A. M. E.

PENTECOSTAL REVIVAL Begins This Sunday Great Sermons by Great Preserachs BRING THE SICK THE NEW CHURCH OF CHRIST J. P. Pierce, Shirley J. SECOND SECTION SECOND SECTION MUSIC By FRANKYE A. DIXON. Lorenza Colea Ranks "Among the Finest" The Harry T. Burleigh Club, comprised of some of New York's most prominent women, gave its first public matinee musicale at the Walker Studio Sunday afternoon. This organization is just a year old and has as its main object the furnishing for the worthy young artist, a favorable public hearing." The first artist presented was the California pianist, Miss Lorenza Coles, at present a Jullhard fellowship holder. Miss Coles appeared before a large and responsive audience, entertaining with an afternoon of superb piano playing, which easily ranks among the finest achievements of the present season. The young artist's work has ripened and deepened to the stage where, at the present time, her manifestations of poetic insight and tonal story are remarkable. Miss Coles knows just how to achieve power without any overdue amount of pounding; at its fullest resonance, her tone never for an instant loses its gorgeous velvetiness and singing quality. 1 Miss Coles has, no doubt, made excellent progress within the current year, but she has not yet acquired a consummate mastery of the instrument. Technical difficulties, the lack of brilliance and assurance, exist for her in the playing of complicated, rapid-flowing legato passages of interlocking type and chord succession. This defect somewhat marred an otherwise admirable performance of Listt's "Forest Murmurs and Chopin" in "Etude in C. Major." The pianist stepped more positively into her own realm with the playing of the "Appassionata Sonata in F Minor" by Beethoven, which was for once blessed with a scholarly reading. Miss Coles rounded out this work of a larger design with the needed restraint and glow of exquisite color. A final division devoted to Chopin, Debussy and Rachmaninoff concluded this extraordinary exhibition of artistry. With Miss Coles' serious attitude toward her art, and with the continued assistance of philanthropic personages, she may yet conquer and JUSTIN SANDRIDGE Instructor in the Art of Pianoforte Playing 108 WEST 186th STREET Mme.

Miss Marile Davis, pianist, and Miss Ella Davis, soprano, gave a joint recital to the evident satisfaction of their audience, which included several prominent musicians, at St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, under the auspices of the Silver Spray Circle, Thursday evening, May 16. This marked the second appearance of the Davis sisters. Miss Ella Davis gave a program of unusual worth, singing songs of Huhn, Weatherly, Quilter, Cadman Woodman and including, further, an aria from Verdi's "Riggletoe." She sang with a powerful voice of splendid soprano quality and range, coupled with good tone production; but with further development and training Miss Davis will, in all probability, attain a richer, more rounded-out voice. She showed intelligence in her interpretations and considerable knowledge of style, but without much variety of color and nuance. "The Sleigh," a highly descriptive song by Kountz, was so effectively interpreted that the audience demanded a second hearing. The musicianship of Marle Davis was brought to the fore by her masterly interpretation of the "Thirty-two Variations" of Beethoven. This great work of the composer of Bonn is rarely on the programs of our pianists. Miss Davis plays with unusual skill and great pianistic virtuosity. She concluded the program with a polished reading of the Chopin "Waltz in E Flat Major" the "Berceuse and Ballade", opus 47. We regret, and it is a lamentable fact, that whenever a noteworthy artist appears, those supposedly interested in things cultural and artistic fail to respond. Must our interests be only of a personal nature? A very poor audience heard these two musicians. Power and Vibrance Miss Olyve White Norman, coloratura soprano with Hall Johnson at the plano, assisted by Ted Smith, "cellist, gave her first recital here Sunday afternoon at Grace Congregational Church. In a long program of carefully chosen airs and songs from thirteen different composers, the singer delivered her various numbers with fair understanding and taste. Miss Norman was evidently over anxious to do justice to the composers of her principal numbers, "Una Voce Pocafa," aria from the "Barber of Seville" by Rossini, and "Je Suls Titania," aria from the opera "Mignon" by Thomas, but at all times her work did not reveal her intensions. Her vocal delivery, however, was not always convincing, and her treatment in style and color was limited. Her voice quality is gloriously rich, but lacks power and vibrance in its production essential for any approach to an adequate interpretation of the operatic arias. Hall Johnson was suprisingly pleasing in his new role, that of accompanist. Anita Patti Brown Draws Large Crowd The great popularity of Mme.

Her program, a very ambitious one, covered a wide range for vocal lyrics. This caused the singer to make use of her resources, which are by no means few, to an extraordinary degree. It was in Dupare's "Chanson Triste," however, that Mme. Brown gave rarest pleasure, and sang most effectively. Some of her numbers were not so well interpreted, as there were marked indications of uncertainty, perhaps due to a slight cold. However, the program, as a whole, was sung with such artistry that the audience was highly pleased. Of the four spirituals Mme. Patti presented, "Let the Church Roll On" was the most captivating sung, due to its religious fervor. "Lo Son Titania" of Thomas, a tremendously difficult number for dramatic exploitation on account of the enormous colorature passages, was to some degree well rendered. The accompanist, Clarabell Elzy enhanced the recital by her arilistic support. Wilson Lamb's Pupils Give Recitals Miss Burnerdene Mason, dramatic contralto, and Miss Reba Mayo, Lyric soprano, students of Wilson Lamb, were presented in joint recital at Wallace Hall Y. M. C. A. building, 107 Halsey street, Newark, last Wednesday. Miss Mason included on her program numbers by Techalkowsky, Dargomijsky, Gretchanlnoff, Verdi, Debussy, Meyerbeer, Schubert and Burleigh. Miss Mayo sang numbers from Handel, Delbruck, Rachmaninov, Lehmann, woodforde-Finden, Samuel Coleridge Taylor and Bishop. Miss Mason and Miss May sang duets by Mendelssohn and Techalkowsky. The Wilson Lamb Male Singers, white, appeared in a successful debut recital at the Wilson Lamb Studio in Orange recently, with Arthur W. Morrison at the plano. The singers are: Frank Murtha, first tenor; David Lewis, second tenor; John Cairney, first bass, and Clyde Emmons, second bass. All of these artists study with Mr. Lamb and are under his exclusive management. The Symphony Orchestra of the Martin-Smith Music School was heartily applauded in a concert Sunday afternoon, under auspices of the New York branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians, at Imperial Auditorium, 160 West 129th street. The aggregation numbered forty musicians. The organization, conducted by David I. Martin II, gave a meritorious performance of an ambitious program. Mozart's "Symphony in G Minor" with its four movements and the "Overture to Renzli" by Wagner were the orchestra's offerings.

The stars who made the revue famous sail for France on Saturday, May 25. *Blackbirds* is scheduled to open at the Bruin Rouge on Friday evening, June 7. In the meantime, the second company presenting Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" is scheduled to where the first company left off. The end company opened at the Eltinge Theatre Monday evening. May 20, in order to give the members of the company an opportunity to enjoy a brief vacation. Harriett Callaway heads the list of stars in the new "Blackbirds" company. She was unknown when Leslie Stuart was known, but the company notices notices with the show not only in Boston, where the production stayed three months, but in Philadelphia, where the company duplicated its Boston show. The cast include Ham Tree Harrington, Emmette Anthony, Joyner and Foster, Jesse Zackary, Barrington Cecil, Sherman Robinson, Cecil Mack's "Blackbirds" Choir, and a cast of sixty. "Blackbirds" is scheduled to remain at the Moulin Rouge for three weeks, then for a den for a limited engagement. A. H. Woods will accompany Lew Leslie to Europe on the Ile de France next year. "Blackbirds" is established at the Moulin Rouge for a tour of the larger European capitals for foreign stars to include in their projected production. "Lew Leslie" is scheduled to open on Broadway in October. Mr. Woods has already signed up several stars for this revue. Incidentally, Lew Leslie announces "Blackbirds" on Broadway next January. Speakin' o' Harlem' Mr. Romeo Dougherty, Dramatic Editor, The Amsterdam News. St. Much has been said and written about the present conditions existing in the "Negro Theatre," such as exploitation, low salaries, poor production, and so on. Having been connected with the theatre for the last eight years in different capacities, I feel that I am in the position to write on this subject. We work in the stage where we must and can stop being a dependent race. Stop asking for pity and sympathy, and meet competition in business profession that we may enter. We must and can face people that produces nothing, not even the necessities of life, and consumes everything, can never expect to gain full compensation as a race. The sooner we meet the competitions of life the sooner we will gain that which we desire. We must and can nurture that only the strong and fit survive the shall devour the weak, whether it be the individual or the group. As the foregoing paragraphs are taken from my original theme I will go back to. First, I will write about a recent occurrence that has been much talked about: "Black Belt." later called "Harlem." The "Variety," dated May 8, 1922, which is considered an authority on "shirt" fashion, gave the play mentioned a box-office $9,000 for preceding week and a gross of $6,000 for the closing week, which is to return considering the expense of opening a production. At a gross of $11,000 or more we could figure that they were making money. The same edition gave them two weeks at a gross of $11,000 or more we could figure that they were making money. The same edition gave them two weeks at a gross of $11,000 or more we could figure that they were making money. The operating cost of a production is very high at this time, causing the producers to use every method of economy. We have received large salaries and are not accept less. On Broadway in producing it is customary to pay extras, as they perform, at the theatre, one dollar a performance, or at the theater. These positions, if I may use such a term in regards to such a poorly paid occupation, are simply filled by people The extras, or superv, in *Flarent* originally received the sum of elevenths which was over twice as much as the sum received. Their salaries were then raised to twenty-five dollars per week, and they received for an hour's work per day at the Considering a pay roll of about two thousand dollars a week, advertising thousands, house percentage, production overcrowding, expenses, a show cannot make very much money on a NINE THOUSAND DOLLAR gross on Broadway. On every hand you hear one of some of the mite-peeking way, speak like this: "I am going to people downtown stop taking advantage of which" is a weak excuse for inebriation to compete with those same people in that given business. Let the colored crowd stop signalling contracts without real money, spend a few dollars with a lawyer who tell them the meaning of the given and transact their business in a business way, and you will find that a great amount of this exploitation will stop. --- We hear a lot of talk in regards to the unions, which is good. The Actors' Equity Union honors the support and membership of an organization or actress, as everyone would benefit from this organization, through their affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, with the American Federation of Labor, and with colored members, could force Lafferty and Lincoln to turn up through presence, to bear on the musicians, motion picture actors, the electricians, and stage hands' unions, surprising how many of our performers already belong to this organization. we have lost good ground in the the sure that we have gained by our lack 'BLACKBIRDS' NO.2 CO. NOW AT THE ELTINGE 'Hallelujah,' Screen Sensation, Shown Soon "The Whole Town's Talking" THE FAMILY Pictured here are some of the persons who will take part in "The Whole Town's Talking," a farce, to be presented at Imperial Auditorium, 160 West 129th street, Sunday, May 26, at 9 o'clock.

"Hallelujah" Ready to Be Shown on the Screen LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 17th (ANP). — It's in the air, this spirit of the mimic world! Regardless of its oil fields, its mines, and its orange groves, it is the movies that predominate in this City of the Angels. It has its effect on the dress, the manners, the very lives of its citizens. Even the humblest cottages attempt to carry out the theme with draperies, gaudy pillows and other stagelike settings, such as are seen in no other community. "Hallelujah," is finished at last, according to what is said to be the official report, and a final review is being shown at a Hollywood theatre. This beautiful and, at intervals, screamingly funny story is to determine the status of the Negro in pictures, and during its filming there have been revealed more avenues for individual talent and more important parts than was so with the highly successful "Hearts in Dixie." Headed by Daniel Haynes and Nina Mne McKinney, who will be hailed as the greatest modern colored emotional stars, these other members of the cast will all come in for their share of fame: Victorin Spivey, Harry Gray, Fanny Bell DeKnight, Will Fontaine, Everett McGarrity, Milton Dixon, Robert Couch and Joe McCrail.

The photo plays will be shown; "Blicks The FUNNIEST, SNAPPIEST, COLORED REVUE! One Full Year on Broadway And Still the Greatest Show in Town!

It is a thrilling drama, tale of the sea-of ships that "pass in the night" and of ships and men that herotically guard our shores. It is one of the finest motion pictures of today and has been produced in a lavish, gripping and engaging way. In showing "Just Tony", on the same program, the management is following its policy of obtaining and presenting the best to its patrons. "Just Tony" is in the same program. Tom Mix and his horse have made and is sure to be appreciated by Mix fans. In addition to the two feature photoplays, the usual program of selected short subjects will be presented, including "The Aerial Drama," "The House of Terror." AT THE ODEON George Bancroft, the screen's "hard-bolled," rough-and-ready fighting star, will be seen this Saturday, Sunday and May 25, 26 and 27, at the Odeon, the world's largest dramatic and best picture, "The Wolf of Wall Street." Supporting Bancroft in this drama of frenzed finance in "Millionaire's Row" is Beclanova, a recent addition to the motion picture Hollywood, who has become a sensation. The picture tells the tale of a fighter who refuses to give up even though all the money in Wall Street is "lined up against him"—and even though the interests corrupt his own wife against him. In addition to "The Wolf of Wall Street," five big acts of vaudville will be presented on the same program. AT THE LAFAYETTE Continuing its "streak" of remarkably fine stage and screen programs, the Lafayette Theatre is presenting an enduring revue in addition to Greta Garbo's "Wild Orchids" and Herbert Bosworth in the stirring Vilaphone drama, "A Man of Peace." The show is entitled "Jazzola"—an appropriate name for a musical concoction of dancing, music and comedy as can ordinarily be seen in the $3 theatres of Broadway. "Jazzola" presents a presentation revue with Billy Fooly and the balcony and Shelton Brooks in the beautiful lobby below introducing the singers, dancers, comedians and the fast-pitch chorus of brown-skin benutles. The Jason bear the brunt of the comedy and the audience which keeps the audience in a continuous stage of side splitting-in-chatter. The cast of "Jazzola" includes Minto Cohen, a song and bird gilded plant; Gena and the two dancing and singing artists who --- making their first appearance in New York after a successful tour of the motion picture palaces of the West; Jessie Cryer, noted tenor and dramatic artist; John G. Bass, noted boys; Kushi and Ledner, ballroom and aesthetic dancers; Hannah Sylvestre, blues singer and dancer; Billie Wyle, beautiful and talented contortionist, and other noted entertainers. Scotty McGee, a member of ceremonies, assisted by John Mason. The noted stage and screen star, Hobart Bosworth, also appears on the program in a gripping dramatic playlet entitled "A Man of Peace." This is a feature film by bitter feud in the Kentucky mountains. The feature photoplay for the week is "Wild Orchids" starring Greta Garbo. The cast includes Lewis Stone. The Lafayette Next Week Archie Jones, the famous comedian and producer, will present a new musical comedy of the Lafayette Theatre under the direction of the Queradeer. Judged by the size and character of the cast, "Masquerade" will be the most elaborate, largest musical comedy seen since the inauguration of that type of amusement at the Lafayette Theatre. Archie Jones and Bob Allen, Tressle Dale, Joe Jordan and His Hawaiian firm, Farnsworth Theatre, tette and sixteen Broadway trained chorus girls are included in the cast of sixty performers who will present "Masquerade" be presented in accordance with the usual policy of the Lafayette Theatre. The feature photographed by will be Bex Ingram's "The Three Passions." AT THE LINCOLN The writer stood in the rear of the Lincoln Theatre yesterday afternoon as the Monday matinee audience filed out for seeing the photoplay program and "Darwin's Tale," which is being offered this week. On a slide is heard remarks to the effect that "Darktown Follies" is not only the best show which the Lincoln has ever had, but one best that has ever played in Harlem. Here is part of the cast presenting this splendid musical comedy: Mae Brown, Garland Howard, "Speedy" Smith, Hattie Jones, Andrew Patchett, Bob Davis, Bob Dawley, Zudora do Gatson, Joe Lonely, Joe Foxle and Al. "Red" Lincoln, Andrew Coad, Ada Banks. There is also a chorus of sixteen beautiful dancing girls and a ten-piece jazz band which is Harlem for the first time. This large band gave a performance on Monday at which promises crowded houses for the Lincoln Theatre during the rest of the week's engagement. The future photoplay for the week is "Heart of a touching, fast-moving, romantic comedy, starring Lloyd Hughes and Mary Aster. The Lincoln Next Week Ida Anderson, one of the most famous ducers, will bring a company of well- ducers. 126th Street and ALHAMB NOW PLAY THIS WEEK NEWSBOY Drama of the Shadows and the Perils of the River A Ragged Little Fellow's Battle Against Alone in the World, but Puck and GREAT CAST of ALHAMB Including THOMAS MOSE, BARRINGTON CARTER, EDNA HARRIS, ARTIE C SHIRE, AL F.

Picture Feature: JOHNNY HARRON in "NIGHT LIFE" known dramatic players to the Lincoln Theatre next week in the first of series of dramatic play shows What They Wanted," one of the greatest of the recent Broadway dramatic hits. In bringing Miss Anderson and her company to the stage management and the editor of this paper believe that a real and long-felt need will be satisfied. Although the plays to be presented at the outset are not necessarily the Knew What They Wanted" and the dramas which are to follow will be presented in the same high-class, dignified manner which characterizes the leading theatres of the country, the writer has been informed. A musical comedy company and the usual photoplay program will be presented to the audience there will be no increase in the price of admission. AT THE RENAISSANCE Playing to packed houses at every performance, "Hearts in Dixie," with Clarence Muse and Stepin Fetchit and all-star, all-colored cast is breaking all records for attendance at the Renaissance Theatre, where it is now playing. The story, as depicted, is one of the old-time Negroes in the heart of the Southland. Whether it is one that does the Negro justice now is a debatable one and there are many who think that a follow-up of the life of Chinappin (Eugene Jackson), son of Nappus (Clarence Muse), after he left the South for the North would have been an appropriate ending for the story. The chorus singing is excellent and the mass chorus of sixty voices, led by A. C. H. Billbrew, who plays the part of the voodoo woman, is one of the outstanding features of the picture. The screening is excellent and the direction also good. The realistic cotton fields, the levees, Tralin's (Mildred Washington) wedding, an exact reproduction of a down South wedding just after the Civil War, and the love scenes all bring smiles and, now and then, a tear or two. It is a picture that all should see and it is the only chance to see it in Harlem at the Renascence this week. All the rhythm, laughter and music of the old show makes "Hearts in Dixie" one of the outstanding pictures of the screen world. Liked "Scar of Shame" Dramatic Editor. The Amsterdam News, New York, N.

Yet dancing as a group manifestation, unfortunately, has all but disappeared. All national dances are remnants of a creative plurality of dance tribes, and the islanders religious festivals, war, famine, birth and death still demand their ceremonial rites, and among such primitive tribes dancing is a natural group expression. What folk dancing remains in civilized white communities—May-pole dances and singing games—is probably survival from just these primitive prayers or celebrations. But they have lost their significant meaning. When as a nation we danced the square dances, the lancers, quadrifile and the like, we were closer far to a communal expression than we are now with our jazz one-step, though there may be many of us who dance at night clubs and at debatante balls or college proms. Jazz is not our native medium. It has been used by us to reduce the necessity of inventiveness to a minimum so that everyone can learn enough steps to get through an evening. Our jazz bears the same relation to dancing that the tablolds bear to literature. It is a reduction to simple formula for the dumb and uncreative; it is not an expansion in the direction of mass spontaneity and creativity. But in Harlem there is something so alive about jazz dancing that when we happen to see a Bandage Negro group up there we have the thrill of dancing in creative communal moment, in so far as our pale Nordic can relax and lend itself to it. Miss Stella Bloch has watched the choruses of Negro girls at the variety show in Harlem and has given a glimpse of dance in the making—a glimpse of authentic folk-ways, celebrating here not a god or rainfall, but she aberer abound to rudimentary rhythm. And while we watch (vicariously) this Negro chorus girl in Harlem whose sense of music is so native to her that she is allowed on the stage almost without training and with the minimum of direction, we cannot forbear to contrast her with the highly conventionalized little white corpse of the formal ballet, whose golden age has, as many believe, come to an end with the death of her great teacher, Enrico Cecchetti, for years master of the Russian Imperial or State Ballet. A perfect production of the formal Italian school, he seemed to incarnate all its pomp and circumstance. Both the Harlem Negro girl and the prim ballet dancer are authentic, but the death of her great teacher that we cannot but mark the obvious contrast, even to the color of the skin. One moves by no rules, her costume devised for freedom, the crude music passing through her flexible body and mind so instantaneously as to be almost untranslated in form; the other's movements are minutely plotted, each one achieved after tireless effort at control, each one directed even to the fingertips to a preconceived end; her costume stiff and hampering in spite of or because of its traditional connotation of alness and frailty; the complicated musical form not passing through her at all, however alert she be to mark each beat and rhythm and mood by the appropriate gesture. The one creates as she moves; the other preserves traditional movement. Each presumably stirs her audience, but the one to abandon, the other to control. Perhaps the Harlem Negro in her dance knows the satisfaction of exact execution, but never the sense of play. She must accept her prescribed place in the total art form. If she attempts to create, the whole structure of which she is a part, collapses. "The ballet dancer's training," in the words of Miss Frances Kornbloom, an acute student of art art, "is ordered somewhat in this fashion: One Monday there are entreatches and nothing else for the whole lesson; Tuesday is devoted to pivottes, and so on through the week. She is taught that there are five positions of the feet, and that they are allowed ten movements. The hands have three positions, the arms have five principal positions, the body can move in eight directions—front, back, sideways and variations of these four. And finally beside these there are attitudes and arabesques. Her master lectures here on the necessity of pliability and ability, and it is very clear she becomes more mobile—beyond. At last, after eight years of intensive grilling for technical virtuosity, she is approaching the moment of her first public appearance—she is waiting to flutter with all the other little butterflies and will-o'-wispes from the wings on to the stage. Up-down, up-down, toes, heels—to stretch the muscles, to strengthen the arches, to limber up, and as a preparation for the initial entrance. She is filling the role of the ballet's lowest order, corypee. The years behind, the years to come! The rank of the ballet is as rigidly defined as that of the army, and promotion is quite as ordered. First she is corypee, then second suet, later premiere suet, premiere danseuse or ballerina, and finally ballerina assoluta. There will be automatic promotion after duties in each section of the corps. And she must go on to the last days of her dancing life perfecting her pireouettes, fouettes, battements, ronds des jambs, and renverses, and exercising to maintain her equilibrium. So the ballet dancer gives the illusion of flight, soaring through the air by means of the entreathe. Her spirit arises soft to heaven. She needs impress with her absolute incorporality that she is possessed of neither av贮podu, nor other physical attribute. Purely a soul, an ectoplasmic mass, if you will, which is aspiring to return to its rightful place within the celestial sphere." There you have it. Her task was to convey something unreal, something other-worldly—a cold, polite little Christian angel, white and pure as her tulle skirt. Now watch the very real, earthly little black dancer take the stage at the Alhambra Theatre in Harlem, as Miss Bloch describes her: "The girls come on in the most casual and apparently indifferent manner and there are no geometric formations to rule out the fantasy and true dancing quality. Their authentic native manner precludes on the one hand any kind of restraint, and on the other any forced galaxy, thereby uniting great range of women with an improving superiority to theatrical civilities. Theirs is a world of exclusive jazz and with a widety of mood that one never has a sense of specialty or repetition. Most of these girls are utterly untrained, and this is astonishing when one observes that the least expert of them has authority, temperament, humor and an infallible musical instinct. The latest tendencies in jazz dancing are evolved and fulfilled here. These girls anticipate those subtle innovations in gesture and rhythmic pattern that go toward changing the fashions in dancing and music. The Charleston, The Black-Bottom, the Stomp are not inventions of individual dancers, nor are particular steps like Eagle Rock, the Casino Pat, the Mooche, the Break-a-leg—to mention a few. They come into being anonymously like all folk art. "The revue itself is rehearsed in very abbreviated form—a bare skeleton of the finished performance, all embellishments left to the extemporizing of comedians and dancers under the encouragement of a lively audience. Showing the performances does not depend on the pace of the show; the performances do not depend on the original dance routines are fixed, but what happens to them when an admirals for more could never be anticipated. Working together for fifty-two weeks of the year these girls understand one another and their audience to perfection. "They can go from one encore to another, changing the routine by tacit agreement from 'warm' to 'red hot', altering the mood and distorting the original steps without a single rehearsal. The orchestra meanwhile follows, or rather simultaneously creates the most fabulous musical evolutions. The crescentendo and climax in the building up of a hot number is mignificent. The method of procedure is simple, but the effect is all the more striking. The ensemble usually works in 'two'—that is before a curtain set some ten feet back of the footlights, eight girls entering from either end of the stage, and the audience watching the number is introduced by a solo singer. On the second chorus we move side of the stage and stands against the proscenium arch, singing, while the girls dance. For this, their first appearance, the orchestra plays simply; the lights are on full. The girls go through the number brightly and smoothly and exit on some trick step; then, without waiting for applause to interrupt the sequence, they return. The lights drop to a deep red and violet, the orchestra thins out to a bass viol, drums and plano; the soft rhythmic shuffling of dancers' feet is audible, the girls' eyes flash, and the whole scene takes on the exotic, pulsating atmosphere of a jungle rite. During this chorus the end girls work differently and the exit is 'lowdown' and provocative. On the third chorus there are faint, exciting cries. This the audience to call for encores which grow more and more abandoned. On the fourth girls come forward to show some particularly wild step. In the end the girls stick and dance with the ensemble in truly bacchanalian fashion. The colored audience laughs and shouts, but what is for them a moment of theatrical pleasure is really a vision of almost paradisiac beauty." Well, from these two charming figures of the dance, so widely separated in race, in time even (for the classical ballet as the great maestro Cecchetti knew it is of the eighteenth, rather than of the twenthe century), and the dance is to be drawn. Our Broadway chorus girl has been more or less methodical. Yet the imagination of those who plot her routines seems to extend only to combining the two schools to the disaster of both—to a sort of jazz on the NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 22. 1929 An attractive double feature bill is being offered patrons of the New Douglas Theatre for Wednesday Thursday and Friday of the current week. The principal feature on these shows is the "Gentleman Generation" in which Jean Hesholt Basquette and Ricardo Cortez are starred and which is being presented with thrilling sound and talking sequences. The supplementary attraction at the Theatre with Anita Steenberg, Betty Blythe and Gretton Hale in the featured roles. Beginning Saturday for a four day engagement, "Syncopation," the sensational all-talking, all-singing production, be the main offering at the New York Dot Theater, been billed as an extravaganza by the producers, the first great musical-film revue ever to be made, an effort to produce what is actually a full-scale showal film in m. At the same time, a success in another step forward in the realm of sound entertainment. Fred Waring and his famous Pennsylvanians, known throughout the world by their tours, are prominent in story of this unusual picture and their tuneful melodies and songs, many of which were composed especially for the picture, will delight and anger in the picture. The cast unfolding the love story which details the ambitions and heartbreaks of a pair of Broadway hoofers are Barbara Bennett, Bobby Wilson, ivan Ammer, Morton Dowd, Dorothy Perkins, Mackenzie Ward and Dorothy Lee. In addition to "Syncopation" for the four days beginning Saturday the bill includes a series of smashing melodrama of love and hate on shipboard and in the South Seas titled "Ships of the Night." Jacqueline Logan wrote in "Not In Note" that noted Oriental character acts featured in this picture. The ill also be singing and talking short.

Miss Bailey's students, in their playing of selections of varied difficulty, gave evidences of careful scholastic training. An audience of some worth was assembled and thoroughly enjoyed the recital. **Prampin School in Eleventh Concert** The Harry and Laura Prampin School of Music held its eleventh annual concert on May 13 at the Imperial Auditorium. A large number of pupils participated and performed favorably well, considering the many handicaps under which they labored. Each fearlessly approached his number with the greatest of confidence, and played as a one would detect, to the satisfaction of self and, most likely, to those who were present. The founders of the Prampin School of Music are to be encouraged in their efforts, and we hope they will continue to advance in methods and standards essential to good teaching.

Many of the producers, making the mistake of believing that they have something out of the ordinary, decide to make it so well known it would be but a waste of space to comment on this phase of the dash, where many are called but so few chosen. Slowly but surely the news from the front is coming for Broadway showing, two or three have reported shelled by the enemy and on the retreat to Harlem. The most recent are "Messlin Around" and "Fany." Like George Walker used to say to D.B. White when in one of the shows gave his name as Primrose Carding: "Ye gods! Named after one of the sweetest flowers that ever grew! Phew! Look at you; look at you; you ought to have been named after a cushion by the consensus of opinion of the daily press and those sitting in it to witness the opening, is a name for something so rotten Broadway is still laughing. The following from the pen of our good friend, Mr. B. C. Moore, gives our opinion of the vast majority of those witnessing the show: "The question as to which is the worst colored musical comedy of all time seemed to be very definitely settled and elicited by the elicited leilom. Theatre there was presented 'Pansy', a new Negro contraption, that totally cellulosed all known predecessors in utter melodiority. Seldom, in this research, was the cellulose heungling neroses a metropolitan stage a production as dire and dismal as that which was imposed upon a thoroughly disgusted first-night, audible evidence of displeasure. Starting at 1915, the presentation presented a woebegone series of specialities by an, awkward and, at-case for Hirum amateurs, to the fallow companions of compartment of assistant orchestra but never rehearsal. The effect was unbelievable and entered the realm of the unique. With the progression of the opening net, the principal part was entirely helpless sing, the no-celled principals could not sing, dance or act with anything approaching professional skill. The music was dull and tuneless, the non-existent, and there were, now and then, illfitted spasms of witless humor. "Such a musical show as 'Pansy' is a disairment placed on view as a public exhibition. It is. I think a new musical show is in exposing in their true colors such fraudulent froftes. Nowhere else but in New York, as Percy Hammond told the writer during the welcome interment in his studio, other theatrical centers, or even in the hinterlands, would not tolerate for one instant a musical mishap of this kind that masquerades as professional ensembles at the Belmost they list scats at $14.00. "Before the first act had run its nimble course, the attendant playgoers be-come to remember important engagements, the theatre was largely depopulated. Many of the critical gentry saw fit to remain until the last half of the season, and to be depopulated, he had as what had gone before. A performance of this particular sort is, after all, a novelty, and there was a certain reckless fascination in remaining, the theatre, and to be depopulated. Those who sung had the opportunity of encountering the single bright spot Hairston, bardent to Boston; W. C. Handy and John Christian. Elk Pennar was master of ceremonies. The Westchester Spiritual Chorus will give its fifth annual concert in the auditorium of the White Plains High School tomorrow evening. H. Reginald Swain, a Hampton graduate, will conduct. Harry T. Burleigh, baritone, will be the solist. Three hundred voices constitute the chorus. Bethel Young People's Lyceum will present Richard B. Harrison, with an all star supporting cast, in "Damon and Pythias," Monday, June 3. at 8:30 p.m. m. sharp, at Townsend Harris Auditorium of City College. The School of Wonderful Talent Talented children have come from all over the country during the season to join the much talked about school of Grace Giles. After weeks of special preparing these children for their big show and dance at Manhattan Casino Friday, June 7. They sing better, dance and act in a way that surpasses some of our professionals. This concert promises to be the best of all former successes. Grace Giles' school has developed some of our best talent now before the public. Nina Mae McKinnyn, star of King Vidor's "Halleujah," was one of her pupils two seasons ago. There are also many others that space will not allow to be mentioned. The demand for and advance sale of tickets has been so great that there are no boxes or loges left. There will however, be plenty of tickets for 41 for those who come early. The program begins at 8:30 p.m. m. sharp. Closing of "Harlem" Still Being Discussed of the evening, however. At the start of the second portion of the program, blues number 105 suddenly appeared to deliver a turfish blues number, which was greeted with a smile. The next song, its variances from the rest of the piece than because of its individual merits, but this Smith girl, who, I am told, has the records, has a lively way with her. "But even Bessie Smith could not save 'Pansy.' No one could. The best thing to do is to try and forget that it ever happened.

Economy and Service Always suggesting to the public the latest and better ways of arranging funerals, as economical as possible, with ideas of comfort, elegance, dignity and convenience, and with fairness that appeals to the finer sentiments of all, has enabled Fred M. Williams to have one of New York's foremost and unexcelled Funeral Homes. REGARDLESS OF ANY KIND OF FUNERAL YOU MAY DESIRE CONSULT ME nual convention. Mrs. Blocker is now entertaining at her home, 236 West 124th street, Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, grand secretary, of Norfolk, and Mrs. Hattie M. Barker, of Jacksonville, Fla. Sunday, beginning at 4 p. m., the Rosa B. Blocker campaign committee will give a chocolate sip at the home of Mrs. Evelyn Brown, 117 West 41st street, 147 West 41st regular meeting, made a donation of $10 to the campaign fund for its fellow member. Church to Open Bishop E. M. Jack will be the speaker at the opening services of the Episcopal Orthodox Church, Room 1, at 165 West 131st street, Sunday at 11 o'clock. Ministers from various denominations will assist with that service and also the ones at 3 and 8 o'clock. Boy Scout News By Scout Edward Lewis Rewarded. The Negro Scouts have one more brother Scout to take their hats off tol Scout Sherman Potter, a thirteen-year-old boy of Sandusky, Ohio, was awarded the bronze medal of the Carnegie Award and Commission, together with $1,600 in bases for educational purposes, for bravery. While skating on Sandusky Bay on a cold December day, Omar Meyer, age ten years, broke through the ice. Scout Potter, a member of the party, crawled across the ice, and with other boys assistance, continued to plunge Meyer until he dragged the Meyer boy to safety. Harlem Activities. The Big Harlem Scout Exhibition at the General Wingate Carnival will take place Friday at the 369th Armory, on West 143d street, at 7 p. m. The first Lone Scout troop in Harlem registered with our own Pee Wee Harris (George Harris), as counselor. Troop 773 of St. Philip's Church registered recently for 1930 with a large number of members. Scoutmaster Blair registered Troop 768 for the coming year with 14 members, the most of whom. Scoutmaster Holly reports that things are going fine at the Columbus Hill Community House where he is organizing a new troop. Scoutmaster Jackson, who recently "Married Life"Not Worth While "Married Life"Not Worth While Blames Wives' "Nerves" "Weak nerves," said a New York doctor recently, "in my estimation wreck more happily married lives than any other cause." Besides making the sweetest disposition sour and irritable, nervousness is a terrible drain on your vital forces it saps your youth and your strength and dulls your beauty. What a difference from the bright-eyed, vibrant girl he married. No wonder married life seems unbearable! But you can get rid of your nervousness — speedily too — and become the steady -nerved, radiant woman you once were. Take a teaspoonful of Tanlac before meals and before going to bed and if it doesn't soon make a new woman of you — doesn't tid you of that trained feeling — go back and get your money. Go to your drugstiff and get a bottle of Tanlac. Millions of folks have started back on the road to youth, health and happiness with this world famous tonic and there is no reason why you, too, can't begin today to rebuild your worn-out tissues and revitalize your entire system. 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED organized a new Scout troop at the Utopia Neighborhood House, reports his troop to be raising whoopee.

But the titure is not consumed covered if not paid for vectors by stipulating it must be made at the FURNITURE instalment companies, milk companies and other firms employing large numbers of collectors have a serious problem on their hands. Three bandits now in custody are alleged to have confessed to numerous holdups of milk company collectors. ONE WAY TO COMBAT this evil is for the companies to require their customers to bring their payments to the company offices. The milkman could then go about his duties as undisturbed as any other poor man. To prevent losses caused by the failure of customers to pay at the office those found irresponsible could be required to make a deposit covering a month's service in advance. This plan has been effectively used by the gas companies. THIS PLAN could not be used by the furniture instalment firms, for their service is not a continuing commodity, like gas or milk. But they have another advantage: furniture is not consumed like gas or milk and can be recovered if not paid for. They can dispense with collectors by stipulating in their contracts that all payments must be made at the company offices. MENTAL AGE? This question has been years. The country where theologists estimated the average ages old. Intelligence tests, producing inferior completeness, a man of fifty was told to be that the scientists, as they did not take pains to an maximum mental age at nineteen recently compiled a table of their occupations. The highest age that they had reached the next highest, with journal age of from sixteen to eight 5 years. RDBS, these intelligence tests, mean little or nothing. The complex to the winds and to the Southern mind. ISIS YEAR a group of strips to another state to station, at which they offered; they could hardly children had been he adopted a resolution to observe Lincoln's life was neither a great H is always telling that the South never forgets nothing. WHAT IS YOUR MENTAL AGE? This question has bothered many people in the past ten years. The country was chagrined ten years ago when the psychologists estimated the average American mind as being about twelve years old. Intelligence tests were the thing of the hour and they were producing inferiority complexes by the minute. It was mortifying when a man of fifty was told that he had the mind of a boy of ten. THE DUBLE was that the scientists, as usual, did not make their point clear. They did not take pains to announce the simple fact that they put the maximum mental age at nineteen. Dr. Laird of Colgate University recently compiled a table of mental ages, listing persons according to their occupations. The highest list, including editors, lawyers, college teachers and business executives, has a mental age of eighteen or more. The next highest, with journalists, physicians and the like, has a mental age of from fifteen to eighteen years. The other lists are even lower. IN OTHER WORDS, these intelligence tests and mental ages, expressed in figures, mean little or nothing. The average man can now toss his inferiority complex to the winds and tell the psychologists to go fish. They Learn Nothing "THEY have learned nothing and forgotten nothing," said Napoleon, speaking of the Bourbons, who returned to France years after they had been driven out by the French Revolution. That is one of the most-quoted remarks in history, and it deserves to be, for it is applicable to innumerable cases. Every word and letter of it describes the Southern mind. EARLY THIS YEAR a group of Louisiana school children made a trip to another state to attend a Lincoln memorial celebration, at which they recited "Lincoln at Gettysburg." The Daughters of the Confederacy flew into a rage; they could hardly have been more indignant if the children had been honoring Benedict Arnold. They adopted a resolution urging the Southern schools not to observe Lincoln's Birthday. They said that Lincoln was neither a great man nor a Christian gentleman. THE SOUTH is always telling the North to forget the Civil War, but the South never forgets it. It learns nothing and forgets nothing.

College Grade A DURHAM, N. C., May 20—The North Carolina College for Negroes has just been granted by the State Department of Education an A grade rating for the members of the graduating class of 1929. Dr. James E. Shepard is president of the institution. --- Charity or Independence NOW that Messrs. Julius Rosenwald and R. E. Wood, chairman of the board of trustees and president, respectively, of Sears, Roebuck & Company, have manfully met a situation involving unjust discrimination against Negroes here, we need not become unduly excited over how or where the practice originated in that company. Our assumption, voiced in our issue for May 8, that it was altogether possible that Mr. Rosenwald himself knew nothing of the discriminatory policy in vogue here seems to have been correct, for immediately upon receipt of the article, and a letter asking that the concern give such a policy a little more. the concern give such a policy a little more thought, all he did was to turn the matter over to Mr. Wood, the executive of the company. REPRESENTATIVES of The Amsterdam News were plainly told that the order withholding from Negroes certain advantages extended to purchasers of ready-cut homes had come direct from Chicago, and we assumed that the president of the company knew of or was responsible for the order. It now appears, however, that the president knew little or nothing about it. The issue of the paper containing the article was published May 1, and copies were sent to the New York office of the company, the main office in Chicago and to Mr. Rosenwald, in care of the company. The letter to Mr. Rosenwald was written the next day, May 2, and it is probable that all these communications arrived in Chicago May 4. PRESIDENT WOOD acted with dispatch once the matter was brought to his attention for under date of May 7, he wrote the New York credit manager of the company as follows: It, as claimed in the article, any prospective purchasers are being rejected on account of their color, such policy should be immediately discontinued. Applications for purchase of ready-cut homes should be considered purely and simply on their rating as good or bad credit risks and no discrimination in color should be made. MEANWHILE, The Amsterdam News appealed to Dr. Moton, James Weldon Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P., Eugene Kinckle Jones of the National Urban League, Channing H. Tobins of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A., Dr. George E. Haynes of the Church Federation, Dr. John Hope of Morehouse College, and James H. Hubert of the New York Urban League, asking that they use their influence with Mr. Rosenwald in an endeavor to cause Sears, Roebuck & Company to see Vindictive Law Enforcement THE MAN IN THE STREET Letters to the Editor to be published under this heading should be plainly written on one side of the paper only, and should not exceed 250 words in length. Your full name and address must be given, although this information does not necessarily have to be printed. PRESIDENT HOOVER announced his purpose to appoint a commission to inquire into the feasibility of a more efficient enforcement of the laws of the United States, both constitutional and statutory. The flagrant violation of the Eighteenth Amendment is the foundation of this worthy purpose. The announcement of the President furnishes occasion for the Negro to put in his plea for civil and political equality guaranteed by the war amendments to the Constitution. The President is justly held by ethical consistency to give equal consideration to the enforcement of all provisions of the Constitution which it is his oathbound duty to do. There is amazing inconsistency in expending millions of dollars on one Constitutional amendment while completely ignoring other amendments which are equally or even more flagrantly flouted. I very seriously doubt that much of this noisy contention for the equal rights of man is genuine or sinere. Much it bears the semblance of vindictive government. It is more often than not used as a cloak to conceal the real purpose of embarrassing the noble purpose of the President to enforce the laws against liquor. I heard a distinguished Congressman declare from the public platform that he would never take any interest in the Eighteenth Amendment unless or until the nation asserted itself on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.

Dr. Moton's chief clerk and Mr. Johnson's secretary acknowledged receipt of the letter, their chiefs being absent at the time. Mr. Hubert replied, in part, as follows: The Negro has not many real friends in this country. We should therefore be careful lest we jeopardize the friendship of those who are in position to be off so great a help. I somehow fear lest that in many ways he will result. Not that Mr. Rosenwald himself might be disturbed, but others who are less sold on the need for aid in our direction might tend to look askance. ested in seeing the Negro better than it is in seeing him perpetual and philanthropy.

Much as we may need the latter at the present time, we may as well face the fact now that economical independence and philanthropy do not go hand in hand, and unless philanthropy is used as an aid to economical independence it in time becomes a curse—an albatross hung around the neck of its victim, and preventing him from ever becoming really independent. SOMETIMES, it appears that certain of our leaders are more interested in perpetuating a system which makes the Negro a chronic subject for charity and philanthropy, than they are in seeing him become economically independent. Sometimes it appears that they do not want to see the so-called race problem solved at all. Sometimes we incline to the belief that philanthropy for the Negro has already served its purpose, but we may be wrong. We are convinced, however, that home ownership is an aid to economical independence, and that the Sears, Roebuck plan of home financing is one of the best plans available—W. M. K. government in the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. The sinister purpose is obvious. The easily apparent object is to embarrass the government in its endeavor to make the nation dry, and Wisconsin also with it. Wisconsin wishes the Federal government to treat the human rights amendment as does the prohibition amendment, to have the latter provision annulled. But most grotesque of all, the City Council of Chicago passed similar resolutions urging upon Congress parity of treatment of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth Amendments. The windy statemanship of the Windy City prided itself upon its moral courage and heroism in this outspoken declaration on touching the imminent laws. And yet, every well posted citizen well knows the attitude of Chicago on the issue of prohibition. Such instances but show how a sustaining public sentiment must be developed before we may hope for genuine and sincere endeavors upon the part of all good American citizens to co-operate whole-hearted and unified with the Constitution as it is written. It does not seem to me that anything is to be gained by this vindictive-attitude. Offsetting one violated part of the Constitution by another, or negating one nullification with another, leads to nowhere. The Constitution must in the interest of its integrity. All its provisions must be respected or the whole fabric is underground. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were inserted for worthy patriotic aims which have no relation to the Eighteenth Amendment or the Fourteenth traffic. These amendments must stay fall on the basis of their own merit. They need no spurious bolstering up by the law calculated to control traffic in beverage which proves to be dangerous to public life and to urge upon Mr. Howe, to enforce the Constitution; but let us not lie UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION Below is brief information concerning States Civil Service Commission within the Both men and women may enter an ever, have the legal right to specify the eligibles The salaries named are entrance filled through promotion.

The building and ownership of a home is not a charitable or philanthropic proposition, Sears, Roebuck & Company is not a branch of the Salvation Army. In order to increase the sale of their ready-cut homes, plumbing and heating supplies and other homefurnishings, the company saw fit to finance persons who desire to own their own homes. The company makes its own terms; the customer must meet them in order to avail himself of their benefits—a business proposition no more smacking of charity than the sale or purchase of stocks and bonds.

I stated at the recent Durham Fact-Finding Conference that the observance of one part of the Constitution is calculated to dispose the nation to observe other portions of that document. I am not reluctant to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment of the Eighteenth Amendment would lead to the immediate enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. But I am emphatic in the belief that the flagrant violation of the Eighteenth Amendment will lead directly to the complete ignoring of the organic law guaranteeing the Negro's political and civil equality. While it may be logically certain that the observance of the rights of the servance of all laws, there can be no doubt that the disregard for any law leads swiftly to the disregard for every law. As we face the country today, there is widespread sentiment for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, but utter indifference to the ones in which the Negro is primarily concerned. Congress will vote a desired number of million dollars for one, but not one mill for the other. The practical question for the Negro to consider is whether he will stand complaisantly by and join in the unfriendly sentiment against prohibition because he is denied his day in court, or whether he will, be a sportsman, fall in with the enforcement of the Pledge of Allegiance Amendment, and then, after ing his sincere devotion to law enforcement, hold the nation to high consistency with regard to the Constitution in all of its parts and provisions. I would help enforce the Eighteenth along with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. If I could; I would help enforce the Eighteenth and parts of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, if need be; I would join in the enforcement of the Eighteenth, without reference to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, if forced to such a necessity. ng examinations announced by the United ne past few days. by examination; appointing officers, howe- sex desired in requesting certification of salaries.

Elliott Rawlins (1882-1928) By Lucien M. Brown, M.D THE problem of feeding babies takes on more importance every time the warm weather comes around. Almost all tively, of Sears, Roebuck & Company, have manfully met months may be traced to improper, feeding. Breast-fed babies fare much better under ordinary circumstances than do artificially-fed ones. It should be the aim of every mother to keep her baby on the breast, at least during warm weather, when possible. The indication for artificial feeding should not be just the desire of a mother to do so. Some of the chief reasons for bottle feeding are poor health of the mother; insufficient breast milk after every means have been employed to increase it; eczema and failure of the child to gain in weight. Don't take your baby on the breast before feeding, but to hold it down soon after feeding, to but hold it in an upright position, so that gas may escape from above. In well mothers nature makes the best milk for the babies' digestive apparatus. The X-rays have helped us immensely in the study of the construction and workings of the intestines, the ance of an infant's stomach is like a cylinder, and the food begins to leave it almost at once, so that in about five minutes a very considerable portion of the food taken in has reached the intestines. Cows' milk takes longer to leave the intestines than it does in fats.

Michigan Establishes Birthday for Attorney DETROIT, May 20 (ANP)—By a recent act of the Michigan State Legislature, Robert J. (Bob) Willis has a birthday. Mr. Willis, who is very prominent in law circles here, is believed to be the oldest lawyer, both in years and in point of service, now before the bar in this State. Mr. Willis records, "Bob" Willis was born on February 12, 1839, in the Detroit River, the boundary line between the United States and Canada, while his mother, a fugitive slave, was escaping from slavery in Kentucky. Neither the date of the month nor the year is definitely known. Graduating from the law school of the University of Michigan, class of 1939, Attorney Harry R. Rumpler has resumed his practice to his full potential so that the bill creating his birthday read in part: "He has done more to quiet the race question in Detroit than any other citizen of the city."

This gas can be seen always above the level of the stomach contents, and it is for this reason that it is advised not to lay a baby down soon after the feeding, so hold it in an upright position, that gas may escape from above. The preparation of infant foods by the large pharmaceutical concerns is carried on in a highly scientific scale, so that when a teaspoon of these foods is given the essential food values are definitely known. These foods have special indications for the most part, and should be used when necessary on the face of a physician or someone else in a field. Keep your baby on the breast possible. Still, if your baby is being bottle fed, pay particular attention to this form; of feeding during the coming warm months. Bringing Back Yesteryears One Year Ago Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, N.

Interlude WHEN Youth's bright day and all Have fed. And sad-syed age keeps company with me Instead, I shall recall When mist-covered dawn, Soft, pink and quilery, Was born— I shall remember that day Will blown, was best at noon, For Saw Love go riding with her In the sky. This day Had myriad gifts To give away. Ah, sweet to rest within the hills Soft arms, To nestle in a valley; To leap her charms; Thrill to the throb of earth's Passion and pain; And wear a bright rainbow After the rain. Why does my heart throb 're the illac dusk Lengthens into night? Perhaps 'tis just A lingering farewell of departing day. Speak not of Death! Simply say That Evening blessed me With her breath; The setting sun's Half-hidden here Known of a dawn somewhere Beyond that strange black space. MARGUERTTE N. ABRAMS.
