Twenty-first District Incumbent Seeks to Explain Attitude on Negro Leadership--- Friends Boost Roberts for Congress
With the city convention scheduled for tomorrow and the G. O. P. of the city apparently at loggerheads on the choice of a strong candidate to wrest the mayoralty from the present incumbent, the following developments were noted in the tense situation created in Harlem by the approach of the municipal election.
Dr. Charles H. Roberts, dentist, 349 Lenox avenue, who made the race for Congress in 1924 against the late Congressman Royal H. Weller, was being mentioned by his friends as a possible candidate for representative from the Twenty-first District.
John W. Remer, white, Assemblyman for the Twenty-first, who failed to get the endorsement of the regular district organization last week, assumed an attitude of repentence to the eastern unit of the G. O. P. for his recent alleged "color alight."
The candidacy of Edward A. Johnson was being impressed as prominent Republicans of the Twenty-first Congressional District indicated that the choice would be left to the eastern unit, the deciding factor in the nomination.
The Nineteenth Assembly District had not designated its candidate for Alderman and the tension between Leader Abraham Grenthal and Col. Charles H. Fillmore, his opponent, was heightened by tardiness in giving instructions to election district captains.

Alleged Firebug Held Without Bail
Waives Examination and Is Held for the Grand Jury
Edward Robinson, 40, janitor of 18 West 119th street, who was arrested following the discovery of an incendiary fire in the hallway of his home on the early morning of July 20, waived examination when arraigned Thursday on a charge of arson and wils held by Magistrate Vitale in Harlem Court without bail for the Grand
It was being openly discussed in the Nineteenth district that Francis E. Rivers, an attorney who was elected to the Association of the Bar of New York City recently, will oppose Grenthal for the Assembly post. Mr. Rivers has been in New York about ten years and is active in the Central Republican Club,
Johnson Favored.
While many voters in the Twenty-first Congressional District feel that Dr. Roberts would make a good showing in the special election in November, indications point to the naming of Johnson as the G. O. P. standard bearer. The Edward A. Johnson Campaign Committee, headed by Hamilton J. Travis, has increased its activity and is mapping an extensive campaign to increase Negro registration in the district.
It is expected that leaders of the five Assembly districts comprising the Twenty-first would meet this week or early next week and formally make the designation. The real naming of a candidate, however, rests with the eastern unit, the largest body uptown representing the wishes of colored voters.
Bemer Would Explain.
Rerner would explain. Because he made a statement a month ago to the effect that Negroes are not prepared for leadership of their own affairs in politics, Remer's renomination was halted last week by demand of the eastern unit of the Congressional district. The Assemblyman is straining every effort to explain the remarks and William Wyman, white, has been slated to succeed him. A feeling of resentment was noted in the Nineteenth Assembly District against Leader Grenthal's failure to call a local convention to designate candidates for Alderman and Assemblyman. Captains, who are usually asked by the leader to name district primary officials by July 1, have not been extended the courtesy yet. Belief is current in one wing of Grenthal's constituency that the white captains have been given instructions and that guerrillas will be brought in at the last moment to make up the required quota.

Alleged Firebug
Held Without Bail
Waives Examination and Is
Held for the Grand
Jury
Edward Robinson, 40, janitor of 18 West 119th street, who was arrested following the discovery of an incendiary fire in the hallway of his home on the early morning of July 20, waived examination when arraigned Thursday on a charge of arson and was held by Magistrate Vitale in Harlem Court without bail for the Grand Jury.
Assistant Fire Marshal Nicholas told the magistrate that gasoline had been scattered under the linoleum in the hallway and against the door of the Robinson apartment. In Robinson's home, the fire marshal testified, he found a rug saturated with gasoline as well as an empty five-gallon can which smelled of gasoline.
Detectives Ross and Chiquete of the West 123d street station testified that Robinson returned to the apartment after the gre, and that in his possession were found matches similar to the matches with which the blaze was started. His hands, the detectives said, smelled of gasoline, and when questioned he told conflicting stories.
The assistant fire marshal further testified that Robinson carried fire insurance amounting to $1,500, although his household furniture cost considerably less. Fire of a similar nature occurred in the adjoining building a few days before, the police say.
After hearing the story told by the detectives and by the fire marshal, Robinson waived examination and was held for the Grand Jury.
Vice Crusader Fined in Libel
Circulated Affidavit Falsely Accusing Politicians
ATLANTIC CITY, July 29 (ANP)—Edward Huntley, vice crusader, was fined $500 and put on probation for two years by Judge Corio in Mays Landing courthouse Thursday, on a conviction for criminal libel resulting from Huntley's alleged circulation of an affidavit falsely accusing Enoch L. Johnson and Charles I. Lafferty, prominent politicians, of participating in $800,000 annual graft.
Assistant Prosecutor Hinkle pleaded vainly that nothing short of a jail sentence would suffice.
Sentence was pronounced after William Garrison, counsel for Huntley, made a plea for a new troal on grounds that the conviction was a miscarriage of justice. He contended that publication of the affidavit on the part of Huntley had not been proven.
The testimony showed. Garrison said, that Henry Leeds and other members of the Public Welfare Association of Atlantic City did not hesitate to display the affidavit, nor did they deny that Huntley was their paid servant.
Garrison read affidavits from Leonard C. Randolph and Ruth Rogers, members of the association.

Bank Made
Slight Error
ATLANTA, July 28. — Good fortune struck Willie Patterson square in the money pocket, but it was short-lived.
Willie had a $35 bank account transferred to a local bank from a Macon financial institution. In the transfer Willie was credited with $3,500 through a bookkeeping error. He hastened to take advantage of the windfall and went away from here.
Bank officials, learning of the error, located him in Detroit, recovered part of his fortune and have brought suit for $1,447 still owing the bank.
Willie, still hopeful, has retained a Detroit lawyer to fight the case.
Loophole Sought To Save Convict
Lawyer Contends Valet's Employer Entrusted Cash to Him.
Can a man be legally charged with grand larceny when the alleged stolen property was given him for safe keeping by the owner, who never made a formal demand for its return?
That is a question of law being studied today by David Edwards, attorney, 16 East Fifty-fifth street, in an attempt to keep a client from going to the penitentiary for life under the Baumes laws. The accused man whose future freedom is jeopardized is Howard Wilson, 53, suave former convict, who is confined to the Tombs.
Wilson, a man of many aliases and a pleasing personality, pleaded not guilty to a charge of grand larceny Friday in General Sessions before Judge George L. Donnellan.
The specific accusation is that he was given $800 to keep by Charles Sabin, white vaudeville actor, for whom he worked as valet last October.
With Wilson's record of five felonies and sentences of lesser importance behind him, the attorney will seek freedom for the accused man on ground that the valet disappeared and his employer never asked for the return of the money. Wilson was extradited from Philadelphia following the close of a jail sentence there.
Philip Rhinelander
Files Answer to Suit
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., July 29—Philip Rhinelander, father of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, filed an answer today to the $500,000 alienation of affections suit brought against him three weeks ago by his daughter-in-law, Alice Jones Rhinelander. Mr. Rhinelander calls all charges made by his daughter-in-law untrue and without foundation. He denied specifically that he persuaded his son to break off his marriage or that he was instrumental in having him go to Reno, Nev., where the latter is now said to be establishing a residence for obtaining a divorce. While attorneys for Mrs. Rhinelander expect to post the case on the court calendar next month, it is not believed it will be reached for trial until late in 1930.
asserting they were present on two occasions when Frank Crawford demanded that Huntley sign the libelous affidavit on threats of bodily harm.
In passing sentence Judge Corio said he wished to give Huntley a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of his own people. He said he had known Huntley for years, and knew that he had a family dependent upon him. The committee of 100 paid the $500 fine.

BOSTON DETECTIVE SOLVES MURDER OF MAN AND WOMAN
Arrest of Man in House of Correction May Clear Up Baffling Mystery --- Two Bodies Found Last November
BOSTON, Mass., July 29 (ANP)—The long-time mystery of the murder of Mrs. Eliza J. Brown, 30, and William Stuart, 29, both of Boston, whose bodies were found battered in Lunenberg Woods in November, 1928, is believed by police to have been solved when Thomas L. Cooper, 28, of this city, now serving a term in the Deer Island House of Correction, was accused of the crime.
The beginning of the end came three weeks ago when the first woman fell in the sitting room of her great-granddaughter, Mrs. Alberta Foster, 203 West 147th street. She was sent to Harlem Hospital and later transferred to Metropolitan. Mrs. Casewell weighed 190 pounds and did the family sewing and knitting until the time of her injury. She was conscious until the end. When America was a young Republic and still recovering from the second war with England, Mrs. Casewell was born a slave at Richmond, Va.
In 1834 she was torn from her mother and father and sold to a

After months of investigating by State Detective Edward J. McCarthy, the case reached a climax Saturday with the arrest of Cooper.
Cooper was brought to Boston police headquarters and served with a secret indictment warrant by Detective McCarthy, and was then taken to Worcester, near the scene of the crime, for trial.
At the time of the arrest Cooper was serving six months on a charge of receiving stolen property, a charge brought against him by Detective McCarthy and Officer Harvey Yates of the Boston police, when the murder investigation centered in Boston.
The warrant of indictment charges Cooper with murder in the first degree for both slayings.
The battered and badly decomposed bodies of the couple were found on November 28, in a thicket off the Boston State road at Lunenberg, by Sergt. George L. Eden, who was hunting in the district.
He first came across Stuart's body and about fifteen paces away he discovered the body of the woman. A description of the clothing of the victims brought relatives from Boston, who had missed the couple for several weeks. Then they were positively identified.
At the time of the discovery it was believed the murder took place near where the bodies were found, but it is now hinted the state will attempt

A granddaughter, Fannie Sealy, lived with Mrs. Casewell at the West 147th street address. The deceased was the mother of five children, two twins.

At a meeting Friday afternoon of the New York State Board of Regents it was unanimously decided that the revoked license of Dr. Perhy W.

'Justifiable Cussing' Given Legal Status
MACON, Ga., July 29 (ANP)—There are times when cussing is justifiable and one of these times is when a merchant sells you a green watermelon, according to the decision handed down by Judge Hatcher when Mrs. Clara Johnson was brought before him to face charges of having cussed a storekeeper. The woman testified that the storekeeper had sold her a watermelon and, after she had lugged it home, a distance of several blocks, she cut it and discovered that it was green. Incensed over the matter, she returned to the store, told the proprietor a few things and was "booked" on charges of using profanity and obscene language.

Policeman Shoots Man in Chase From Scene of Burglary
Raymond Lowe, 24, who gave the imaginary address, 57 East 141st street was in Bellevue Hospital yesterday suffering from a gunshot wound, while burglary charges were preferred against him at the East 104th street station house.

Drug Clerk Pleads Innocence in Case
Court Sets Oct. 7 for Trial of Unlicensed Harlem Pharmacist
The office of the Attorney General moved Thursday against unscrupulous practices in filling prescriptions in Harlem pharmacies when Morris Gadelowitz, 25, white clerk in the Publix Drug Store, 2552 Eighth avenue, was arraigned in Special Sessions and pleaded not guilty to a charge of filling a prescription without a license.
Justices Healy, McInernay and Fetherston heard the plea and set Oct. 7 for trial. Gadelowitz was represented by Barney L. Mitnick, white, 570 Seventh avenue.
The drug clerk is specifically charged with filling a prescription sent to the pharmacy by Dr. Aubrey L. Magill, 236 West 139th street. The clerk omitted one ingredient prescribed for Mrs. Emma Brown of the Emma Ransom House, Dr. Magill ordered his arrest after investigating and learning that Gadelowitz had no license.
The arrest came directly after an exposure of unethical and illegal methods used by physicians and druggists in writing and filling prescriptions. Gadelowits is said to have asserted that he is unschooled in pharmacy, but has had enough experience to be the equal of any graduate pharmacist.

Burtt's defense was conducted by Atttorney Ralph C. Warrick, 200 West 135th street. In direct testimony Ulma Banks, ticket seller-cashier of the theatre, declared that she had turned over about $735 to Burtt in a cigar box and that he had put it into the safe, which she had heard lock as he turned the combination.
Mrs. Katherine Reagan, treasurer of the theatre, told the court that there was over $1,000 from the previous day's receipts in the inner compartment of the safe when she left the night before the robbery occurred.
Benny Beaver, night watchman at the theatre, said on the witness stand that he had seen Burtt in the theatre several times during the morning of the robbery, the last time being about 8:50 a.m., when Burtt had persuaded him to go to Tabb's Restaurant to get breakfast. The two went to the restaurant, which is just around the corner from the theatre, and, after ordering and paying for two, Burtt left, saying that he had an appointment and could not stay to finish his meal.
On cross-examination by Attorney Warrick, Beaver admitted that he had been convicted of stealing money from the Lafayette Theatre previously and that he was now out on bail with a charge of assault lodged against him.
The general manager, Frank Schiffman, told the court that Burtt knew the outside combination of the safe, but did not know the inside combination.
An expert from the safe and loft squad testified that the theatre safe was practically burglar proof and that it could not have been broken off as it was unless the outer combination was unlocked. He said that the inner combination was also broken off when the tumblers had not fallen.
Burtt himself did not take the stand.
White Dixie Minister Hits DePriest's Stand
Oscar DePriest and what the Rev. John W. Ham, white, Atlanta evangelist, termed as the congressman's demand for social equality were assailed in a sermon Sunday by the minister at the First Baptist Church. Speaking as guest minister for the local white congregation, the Georgian scored Mr. DePriest as one who "has done more in one month to tear down the constructive gains toward racial good-will than any other person appearing in the public eyes." The criticism was directed because of the Illinois legislator's attitude in striking at whites who disapproved Mrs. Herbert Hoover's action in inviting Mrs. DePriest to the White House. The minister did, however, defend Mrs. Hoover for what he termed an official and not a social act. "Christianity, however, nowhere imposes upon the Christian social equality. It is not taught in the Word of God," the Georgian said.

Feted Legislator Tells Audience the Italians Suffer Discrimination --- Taft Asked to Move Judge for Prejudice
Congressman Fiorello H. LaGuardia was accorded a rousing tribute Sunday afternoon by an audience of 600 at the Bethel Young People's Lyceum, 52 West 132d street, where the fiery Representative of the Twentieth Congressional District announced his intention to battle Tammany Hall and the Republican party, if necessary, in his fight for the mayoralty nomination.

Hailed as a champion of the rights of all the people, Mr. LaGuardia declared that the tribute to him was indeed a mirror to reflect the fathlessness of many officials in public life. "I regard your tribute as a protest against those who do not stand up squarely in high places," the honored legislator said. The testimonial was arranged by the lyceum, of which Samuel Westerfield is head. Mr. Westerfield stated that the congressman's action in asking that he be given an office next to Oscar DePriest when the Illinois representative was slurred by Congressman Pritchard of Illinois prompted the receipt of numerous other inquiries of racial good-will were accredited to Mr. LaGuardia during the lengthy program.
George W. Harris, former alderman who sat in the city assembly when Mr. LaGuardia was president of the body, told of the defense of the rights of Negroes put up by the then presiding officer. The Congressman in right and left at discrimination and racial hatred, declared he, an Italian-born and suffered because of his Latin parentage. Slams Federal Judge. Describing Southern Federal judges sent here to preside in New York courts as Jim Crow judges here on a junket, LaGuardia read a letter in which he asked Chief Justice Taft of the Supreme Court to move Judge John F. Martineau from the Jurist barber's shop and discharged him, because they acquit a man who was not white Mr. LaGuardia said.
The Negro suffers no lack of qualified leaders, the speaker said, but falls into the same rut as the Italians when too many would-be generals cause the command to go to persons not entitled to it. Proper use of office will result in the placement of Negroes in the institutional offices according to their numerical strength, he asserted.
Speakers who paid tribute for the professional and civic groups of Harlem were: Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, Attorney Arthur A. Madison, the Rev. M. O. Strachan, Mrs. Eunice Carter Hunter, Col. Charles A. Fillmore, Jr. Bearden and the Rev. M. Bolden.
Musical numbers were contributed by the Collegiate Four, Roland Halnes, Mrs. Beatrice MacMillan, Merrill Dames, the Monumental Quartette of Jersey City, and Miss Daye Harding. J. Dalmus Steele served as chairman.
At the close of the testimonial a mayor endorsing Mr. LaGuardia for Mayor was read by George W. Harris.
The endorsers who signed the resolution were William M. Kelley, the Rev. William Lloyd Imes, Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, J. Milton Jarvis, Samuel Westerfield, J. D. Darmus Steele and George W. Harris.

Find Man Guilty of Bawdy House Charge
Ross Howe, 33, 226 West 140th street, was unable to convince Magistrate Simpson in Washington Heights Court of his innocence Sunday when he was arraigned on a charge of allowing his room to be used for purposes of prostitution, despite his interesting story. He was found guilty and remanded for sentence pending an investigation. Joseph with Henrietta Piper of that address and a white man, who gave his name as Tom Martin, were arrested by Detective Brown of the Thirty-fourth detective squad after he had seen the white man enter the apartment. He testified that he found the man and woman in a bedroom, and that Rowe opened the door for him and admitted that he was in charge of the place.
Magistrate Simpson found him guilty and at first suspended sentence, but Rowe seemed so anxious that he knocked the back door that the judge called him back and remanded him for sentence pending an investigation. "You almost talked yourself out of jail," said the magistrate, "but not quite."

Dr. Dr. Garfield Hays of the law firm of Hays, St. John, Abramson and Schulman, 43 Exchange place, who was given valuable assistance by Attorney Johnson and Attorney Henry G. Van Veen, Mr. Hays' associate. Dr. Cheney's conviction was the result of a free-for-all fight at 145th Street. Elphant evening's late evening hour on November 26, 1927, after the car in which he was driving to 219 Edgecombe avenue, his home address at that time, collided with another driven by one Herman Pincus, white.
A crowd gathered quickly and in the general melee which ensued one John Torpey, white, received stabwounds and accused Dr. Cheney of the assault.
His conviction and sentence followed.
Nicholas Tenebroso, white, proprietor of a shoe-shine stand at one of the corners where the alleged stabbing took place, declared that John Torpey, the complainant, bolted from his stand after announcing his intention to "do up" Dr. Cheney. This claim received substandment through and signed by Dr. McGowan Mays, the signer and the Board of the staff of Harlem Hospital, asserting that Torpey had remarked while convalescing: "It was all my fault."
Nevertheless, a motion for a new trial was denied and the Board of Regents revoked Dr. Cheney's license. An interesting point is contained in a paragraph of the application for restoration of license prepared by the defense and read before the Board of Regents Friday, in which Attorney Hays declares: "I haven't the alight-ness in saying that, if Dr. Cheney had not been convicted, would not have been a fight, or if there had been. Dr. Cheney would never have been convicted."
Dr. Cheney is married and is the father of one child, both of whom reside with him at the Seventh avenue address, where he also expects to resume his practice. He is a graduate of the Medical School of Howard University, and served as an intern at Bellevue during 1918 to 1921. During the World War he went overseas as a member of the 399th Infantry.

The second case in ten days of an amateur detective who ran afoul of the law because of his zeal in stamping out the policy evil will end today in General Sessions when Peter F. Martines, 18, 45 West 114th street, is sentenced by Judge George L. Donnelian. The minutes pleaded guilty last Wednesday to a charge of third degree assault on an indictment accusing him of robbery in the second degree. The embryo Sherlock Holmes was accused by Harry Medford with taking $5 from him at the point of a toy pistol after pretending to make an arrest on a charge of policy possession at 431 West Fifty-second street. The would-be criminologist was armed with a tin badge and a diploma he received from the American System School, 2190 Broadway. He systemed a clever pocket and had attained a grade of 85 in each for investigating individuals.
Girl Pleads Guilty to Larceny of Clothing
Pleading guilty to a charge of grand larceny of clothing and wearing apparel valued at $463 before Magistrate Simpson in the Washington Heights Court Sunday, Lena Redd, 21, 2582 Eighth avenue, was held in $1,000 bail to await action of the court. The girl, who was maid for Mrs. Dorothy Sasson, white, 710 West 173d street, is alleged to have packed her bag with much of her employer's clothing and attempted to leave the premises. When Mrs. Sasson attempted to prevent her departure, allegedly, she drew a knife and forced her way out of the West 173d street station, answering Mrs. Sasson's tries for an officer, chased the girl through an alley and apprehended her.

Youth Held for Grand Jury as Bandit After Two Flee Scene of Holdup
Three Freed on Charges of Interfering With Arrest of Alleged Robber --- Rent Collector and Companions Lose $70
Following a daring holdup of a rent collector and his two companions by three young boys last Wednesday night, Eric Sealy, 18, 251 West 137th street, was held Thursday by Magistrate McQuade in the Washington Heights Court in $5,000 bail, charged with robbery at the point of a gun, and bound over to the Grand Jury yesterday.
The robbery occurred at about 8:30 p. m., when Sealy and two unidentified boys allegedly stuck up William Mandowlowitz, white, 2141 Holland avenue, Bronx; his brother, Herrman Mandowlowitz, 218 Stebbins avenue, and John J. Cheney, 44 West 136th street, in a dark hallway at 44 West 136th street.
William Mandowlowitz, accompanied by his brother and Cheney, had just finished the collection of $70 rental from an apartment and were coming downstairs, according to their story, when Sealy and his accomplices darted from under the stairs. Sealy prodded a gun in his stomach while an unidentified boy matched the rent money from his pants pocket, the victim charrase.

Cheney lunged at Sealy, a mere stripling, hardly over five feet, and wrenched the gun from his hand. Herman Mandowlowits is said to have grabbed another assailant by the coat, but in the scuffle the robber and the assailant by the flight of the two bandits and the general excitement had caused a crowd to assemble, and Officer Oliver Williams of the West 135th street station came and placed Sealy under arrest.
Accompanied by the Mandowlowitz brothers and Cheney, the officer brought Sealy up 135th street, followed by a crowd of over a hundred men who came some intent on freeing the prisoner.
Yells and shouts of "free that man" made it look for a while as though there would be a riot. Mabel Miller, 275 West 127th street, was arrested for interfering with the arrest, and Charles Banks, 228 West 141st street, and Guy Jackson, 49 West 129th street, were booked at the station and charged. All three were dismissed Thursday in the Washington Heights Court by Magistrate McQuade.
Coming through the milling crowd, Sealy became tired of walking and said to Officer Williams: "I know where you're carrying me. 'Take a taxi, I'll pay for it. I've got the money.' But the officer preferred to walk.
This is the third time in three months, according to Mandowlowits, that he has been robbed. On May 30 he was held up and robbed of over $500. July 13 three boys, one of whom he believes to be Sealy, robbed in broad daylight at point of revolver in broad daylight at 189th street and Lenox avenue, and took over $400 from him. This time he had only $70.
"Before I do any more collecting in Harlem," he said, "I'll get a permit to carry a gun. The real estate business will soon go on the blink if this keeps up."
Ace Foreman, Aviator, Sued by Government
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 29 (ANP)—Seemingly due more to bad management than to bad luck, the career of Ace Foreman, as aviator and aviation teacher, has about come to an end as the Federal government has ordered him through United States District Court here. The suit was filed to compel Foreman to pay the $500 penalty imposed for flying a plane without an identification number. The case in question occurred last year when Foreman crashed and he was taken off from local field here. He was then charged with failing to report the accident.

Sex played no part in assuring judicial lenency for erring ladies Monday in Special Sessions as the mercury climbed high in the thermometer and hovered there. As a result Mrs. Frances Jiles, 38, a housewife, of 255 West 143d street, went to the workhouse for sixty days on a policy charge. Jiles pleaded guilty to the charge Friday and was remanded to await sentence. Following the report of the probation department, the court ordered her to prison. The woman was arested Feb. 4 in her home by Officer James Caracoli of the Birth Division. The officer testified that when he entered the apartment Mrs. Jiles had with six policy alips in one hand, while thirty more were in an enclosure on the table. The accused woman readily admitted to the court that she was a collector.
A slightly stiffer sentence went to Stanley Davis, 25, 161 West 140th street, who pleaded guilty last week to unlawfully arresting an alleged policy violator. Davis received five months in the workhouse for misdemeanor. He claims to be a private detective. Raymond J. Watson, 21, 200 Myrtle avenue, Jersey City, pleaded guilty to possession of nine slips and received a suspended sentence of thirty days.
DECREASED NEGRO
DEATH RATE REPORTED
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Capital News Service)—The death rate for Negroes in the United States for the past few years has been steadily on the decline. This is accounted for by the marked and general decline in the number of deaths from tuberculosis of the lung, the disease most responsible for high death rate. In the matter of mortality, the rate is slowly on the increase but in the marked degree in which deaths from this dreaded disease are increasing among the white population of the country.

Whites Lead in Crimes In Southern Town
SHELBY, N. C., July 29 (ANP)—Five out of every seven offenders brought into the criminal court here are white men, according to Attorney Spurgeon Spurling, solicitor of the Sixteenth Judicial Court. This astounding statement was made by the solicitor in an address before the Shalay Kiwanis Club, in which he stated: "Criminal Court was once a colored man's court, but today it is a white man's court, with five out of seven offenders being white." Continuing his review of conditions in this district, Attorney Spurling said: "Last year there were 20,000 criminal convictions in North Carolina, 1,500 of these convictions being for larceny. Nineteen out of 20 defendants at a recent session of Caldwell County Court were whites.
Three Youths Charged With Serious Stabbing
Three young men were arraigned Sunday before Magistrate Simpson in the Washington Heights Court and held without ball for a further hearing on a charge of stabbing and seriously wounding Rufus Reilly, 206 West 133d street, now in Harlem Hospital in a serious condition. The prisoners are Stonewall Morris, 17, 16 West 136th street; Norman Thornton, 23, 69 West 137th street; and Beatty McClean, 20, 22-24 West 137th street. Patrolman Jackson of the West 138th station station was the arrestor. An altercation between Reilly and the three young men started on 136th street July 26 in the afternoon and ended with Reilly badly cut about the shoulder and across the stomach. McClean is alleged to have done the actual cutting while the other boys held Reilly.
Pava Bill in Court

Coroner Returns Verdict of Justifiable Homicide in St. Louis Fratricide Following Quarrel Over Removal of Body
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 29 (ANP)—Funeral services for Joseph Dunn, 38 years old, undertaker, who was shot by his brother, James Dunn, 51, last Wednesday morning, were held at the Dunn Brothers' Funeral Parlors, 215 South Jefferson avenue, Monday at 1 p.m.
The shooting was the result of a quarrel between the two brothers as to who should go after a dead body, "I told Joe to get the body and embalm it, and he said, Do it yourself," James Dunn related following the shooting. One word led to another, he said, until his brother got a revolver and he seized a shotgun. Each fired one shot. Joseph's bullet did and the shotgun charged entered his body, and the wounded brother was conveyed to City Hospital No. 2, where he died Thursday evening.

"Just Call Me That Again"
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
"JUST call me that again more time, if you dare I'll show you!" The scene is in Arkansas a speaker is the uniformed brake spoken to is a well-dressed black man seemed not to know violent expressions and menace
"JUST call me that again! Just repeat it once mor., one more time, if you dare! Just say it again, and by God I'll show you!" The scene is in Arkansas on a moving Jim-Crow car. The speaker is the uniformed brakeman, or trainman. The person spoken to is a well-dressed mild-appearing black man. The black man seemed not to know what reply to make to the violent expressions and menacing attitude of the white.
The black man seemed afraid to say anything, even to attempt to apologize, lest the "hair-trigger temper of the raging white should cause him to strike." Just say again" and the colored man seemed afraid to perish lips, even for the purpose of assuring the mad one he would not "say it again." lest his effort to apologize should be taken for an attempt to "say it again" and bring instant assault upon himself. The white man was evidently armed, for after his first rage he had rushed out to another car, perhaps to get his gun from his bag or his locker, and had come back looking deadly, like a beast when it crouches to kill.
Indiana, where he knew many people of both races and where he had said many times to white and black alike just what he said to this raging white railroad employee in Arkansas.
Wishing to know how near he was to his destination, the colored minister had asked, in the friend-lost tone, using the endearing "epithet" most common from the lips of Negro preachers: "Can you kindly tell me what is the correct time, brother!" To this poor, ignorant, uneducated Negro man the word "brother" was an awful insult from the line of a black man, although
"Say it again if you dare!"
And every few miles during the rest of the journey the caraged trainman returned to that end of the Jim-Crow car, lowering at the silent black man and challenging him to repeat "it," until his anger gradually grew cooler so that he only sawed as he passed by.
Anyone coming into the middle of this scene and who had not heard all from the beginning would have felt certain that the Negro had called this trainman by some very vile epithet—maybe the traditional Southern "fighting piece," son of a slave who was insulting, Southerners, white and black, by some primitive feeling of injured honor, have killed for epithets like that. And an uninformed onlooker would have wondered why a Negro in Arkansas ever presumed to give such an insult.
But on further inquiry the stranger would have learned that the well-dressed, intelligent Negro who was being assailed never used vile language perhaps in his life—that he was a preacher, pastor of a large Baptist Church in Marion, Indiana. He was traveling through Arkansas on some church mission. Long ago he had lived in the South, but for many years he had been living in at least partially civilized

Women Diet for Smartness; Now 'Tis Smart to Be Plump
---
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Capital News Service)—The fat woman who waddles is almost sight unseen on the popular boulevards of Washington. Dusky maids and matrons are reducing. They are consuming crate after crate of grapefruit in their efforts to retain, regain or approximate the slim boyish figure which has ruled the mode for several seasons.
The famous Hollywood diet is now being used by hundreds of smart women (and, it is whispered, a goodly number of men) with marked success. The diet, which consists mainly of grapefruit, berries and watery vegetables, balanced with the few calories necessary to prevent weakness, is actually causing several hundreds of pounds of excess avoiduplants (and several famous may-day "pump-ups") to disappear, the average daily loss per producer being slightly less than a pound. The fat ones are getting plump as the plump grow slender, and the long sought after, the sleek sweel figure.
seems within the reach of all, without the weakness, fatigue, or serious results which have accompanied all former methods of reducing.
Then comes the news that those temperamental Parisians have decided to encourage curves, and almost all of the successful fall models accentuate, even exalt, no boyish curves. One must be plump to be smart this fall.
The irony of it is unappealable, and smart Washingtonians are just a bit provoked. But the reducing goes on. They are content to let the fall curves take care of themselves.

This glass is similar to the tall champagne glass except that the stem instead of being solid through is hollow to the very bottom. While its primary use is for serving champagne, today we often serve in it ginger ale and other carbonated drinks. The hollow stem releasing a train of sparkling bubbles is picturesque in Finger Bowls. The finger bowl is a low, broad bowl variously shaped.

bowls are fitted with matching under-plates, but their use is optional. Tumblers.
In its simplest form, a tumbler is simply a glass cylinder of various sizes, according to use. But the glass designer does wonders with it. He mounts it on a foot; shapes its sides in lovely contours; often makes it a large and round. The sizes commonly used are: Apollinaria Tumblers.
This is a small, narrow tumbler used to serve liquids in small quantities. Served in it are orange juice, grape juice, mineral water. It is often used for water when space is at a premium, as on breakfast trays or at bridge tables.
Table Tumbler.
A water tumbler. It is a low tumbler, containing about ten ounces, and is used to serve water informally at simple meals. There is also a water tumbler of about the same capacity, but narrower and taller, sometimes called the "ale tumbler."
A tall tumbler, used to serve "long drinks" or iceed tea. Iced coffee, Iced chocolate, etc. It holds about twelve ounces.
Iced Tea Tumbler.
A normal iceed tea tumbler, sufficiently large to contain plenty of ice. Its capacity runs from fourteen to sixteen ounces.
Potatoes.

Carrots.
Carrots are grown with boiled meat. Corn, beets, peas and beans are appropriate with either boiled or roasted meat.
Tomatoes.
Tomatoes are good with every kind of meat, but especially so with roasts. Applesauce with roast pork, cranberry
GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION
TO BUILD DENTAL CLINIC
The first project of the newly created Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Foundation is the immediate building of a free dental clinic for children in New York City. The cost of this is estimated at three to four million dollars. In addition to preventive and reparative work there will be provision for the training of dental hygienists for service in public schools and industrial establishments. The immediate aim of the foundation is to provide such clinics for New York, but it avowed ultimate purpose is "the promotion through charitable and benevolent activities of the well-being of mankind throughout the world."

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN
ARE you one of the many men and women who feel that you have done your duty when you feed and clothe your child and send him to school? You certainly have done a part of your duty, but not all, by any means. You should be a companion to your girl or boy. Help the child spend his afternoons and evenings in good company. Don't send him out into the streets to get into trouble. Rather, take him to the park or playground. Remember, that many children's home environment is different from your child's and your child may easily learn habits and traits which are undesirable.
Looking Your Best
By FANNETTE
Don't Be a Sloven
The older child, too, needs your company. At the restless ages of the early teens many children want to be on the go. Take them to the theatre, concerts, interesting lectures, museums, and other places of interest. In that way you can help divert their minds from the dancehall and wild parties.

So many young women let themselves become careless shortly after marriage and, believe me, it's a danger signal. You can't afford to let yourself grow big and fat or skinny and sickly looking.
You can't afford to go around all day in a wrapper and bedroom slippers and with your face covered with cold cream. Hubby didn't see you looking at your worst before he married you—and he admired you then! Now, don't give him the opportunity to admire others who know enough to take care of themselves.
Look neat at home as well as in the street. See that your hair is arranged neatly, that your feet and legs look well. You are the queen in your little kingdom. Why not look your part?
It is so easy for a woman to let herself go. Once she gets into the habit of being a sloven, she is likely to lose all ambition and forget the importance of appearance.
House dresses are so cheap and cute that there is really no excuse for a woman not looking dainty at home. Very often little slovenly traits get on a man's nerve far more than a woman thinks. Straggly hair, soiled clothes, worn-out bedroom slippers or unclean nails do not escape the average man's eye. If you crown a neat appearance with a cheerful countenance you'll find there will be much more domestic happiness.

BACHARACH GIANTS POUNDED BAUMGARTEN Keenan Men in Lively Tilt Against Homesteads
Black Bill of Cuba was awarded the decision over Marty Gold of Philadelphia in a ten-round flyweight duel last Friday night at the Rockaway Beach Playground Stadium, one featured by a lot of holding on the part of Gold, but Bill managed to break away often enough to belt a few good ones to Gold's midsection. These punches, coupled with a neat massaging of the Philadelphia's hands during the last rounds, gave the colored boy the edge. Not a solid blow was landed during the first three rounds. In the fourth the boys swapped a few and Gold was on top with a hard right hook in the next session, attacking in the next session, beating a tattoo on Gold's ribs and stomach. During the last two frames the Cuban swung several good left hooks and right uppercuts to the jaw. At 11:00 p.m., the Sharing stallard honors with Black Bill-Gold affair was the scheduled ten-round between Midget Wolgast of Philadelphia and Tommy Milton of Harlem. Wolgast dropped Milton for the count in 44 seconds of the fight, forcing him twice in the second stanza.
Wolgast, weighing 112, was three pounds lighter than Milton.
MOUND MASTER IN RARE FORM
MOUND MASTER IN RARE FORM
Joe Williams Shows Old Form in Beating Lincoln Giants, 10-6
"Smoky Joe" Williams, now with the Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh, flashed the form that made him known as the best colored pitcher in the country ten years ago, and handed it to the team before one of the largest crowds of the season at Protection Oval Sunday. Williams had the Lincoln practically at his mercy for the first six innings of the game and although he allowed a total of 18 hits, they were kept so low that the team did not profit very much by them. Manager John Henry Lloyd sent his pitching ace to the mound in the second game and made a strong comeback to win by a score of 14 to 5. He hit a home run and hitting. Johnnie Beckwith's big hat rang for two home runs and a double in the first game. He was closely followed for batting honors by George Scales, who made a home run, a double, and a single in four trips to the other home in this game were made by Jackson and Smith.
Scales continued his phenomenal batting by getting three hits in four trips to the plate in the second contest. He managed to get two doubles. Wic Harris made two home runs and Gray and Smith also got homers in this game.
Holland opposed Smoky Joe Willingham in the first game. This Rector was opposed by Lefty Williams and Sam Streeter.

BALTIMORE MAY TAKE LAST HALF
Bacharachs and Hilldale Lead in Display of Improvement Shown
The second half pennant in the American Negro League may be won by Baltimore, the club which finished the top in the initial semester, and then why it may not. There several reasons why it may not. The homestead Grays, the Lincoln Giants, Hildale, Bacharachs and Cuban Stars. At this time five of the six outfits have a good chance to compete. No teams have shown as much improvement as the Bacharachs and Hildale. The Darby and the Shore boys have at last rounded into form and will cause plenty of trouble for Ben Taylor, veteran pilot of the B-Giants, is getting results and the potential power of his machine is being felt. His pitching staff has been the big hole on the club but Gardner, Henderson, Cade, Shields, McClure and others have been losing Luther Parrell, who joined the Atlantic City police, was a big blow.
Carr is functioning well at first base and Day is the fielding equal of anyone at the keystone sack. Walker is doing well in the overmoussiness and is doing well in the short overmoussiness. It is playing a better game now than in years. Ambrose Reid, the brilliant utility man, is still troubled with a sore arm. Behind the bat Eggleston and Jones leave nothing to be desired, and the team is building physically most of the season. No outfield surpasses Thomas, White and Jenkins afield with the mallet. The weak-hitting Stevens has rejoined Hilldale and his sensational fielding has put new peps in the inning. The strong arm and big bat are on the job. Lewis, playing the game of his life in spite of aching muscles as the after-effect of a winter's illness, is getting a chance to rest a bit and he deserves it. Joe has been one of the best players in the game. The well-balanced pitching staff is moving on an even keel and the outfield is above ordinary.
At this time official records show that Judy Johnson is leading in stolen bases, Oscar Charleston in two-base hits and Duhigo in home made hits than any league player. John Henry Lloyd boasts the leading hitter of the circuit in Charlie Smith; the leading twirler is Connie Rector; the leading second baseman is George Seales. No leader has built a career of success who made a bunch of cast-offs made a pennant contender out of them. Lloyd is himself playing a remarkable game at first base and has made more assists than any other first baseman. This club will be in the right time for the final game or I may not. The Baltimore Black Sox have not yet settled their right field problem but a team with the strength of Warfield's can afford to have one weak spot. The acquisition of Nipper Jim Winters was a godsend to the team at first base and allow the use of Jud Wilson in the outfield. Lattimore has been a splendid relief for

The Grays have just about recovered from the motor accident which wrecked the team in the closet. The team will still strengthen now, the Poosey-Walkermans will fight desperately to stay in the top hole.

WEST POINT, N. Y., July 28—The USMA Band didn't have a ghost of a chance and was massacred by the heavy hitting forces of the Cavalry in the fourth inning the Cavalry scored 17 runs. The game was a regular merry-go-round and the Cavalry were the Riders. "Letty" Lynch came out of the box in the sixth inning and drove in a single pitch. From the score one might believe the Band is a week team. This isn't true, although they were outclassed. To save the band from further punishment, the game was called in the ninth inning.

Peter De Grasse, South Brooklyn bantam, captured the decision in the ten-round final bout last Wednesday night at the Mitchell Field A, O, defeating Sundie Miaz, of New York, in a coffee-colored fighter showed plenty of pep during the early rounds, but after De Grasse's aggressive right-hand attack to the stomach and body took effect, he barely managed to last the limit.

Delegates to Primary Elected
Republican Leaders Here Still Juggling With Names of Prominent Democrats
Quite a few Negro men and women were elected delegates at the unofficial G. O. P. primary that was held last Monday night in Brooklyn. No potential candidate for the Mayoralty designation in the Republican convention at Mecca Temple, Manhattan, on August 1, emerged from the Brooklyn primaries.
In Brooklyn the Republican leaders are still juggling with the names of prominent Democrats who may show an inclination to run against Mayor Walker.
As a matter of fact, the participation on Monday night's primary was slight as compared with the Republican enrollment.
There was no Negro delegate chosen from the First Assembly District, which is the downtown section, hold years ago but most of the Negroes who were politically inclined have moved out of the district.
Transit Commissioner Charles C. Lockwood, white, appears in the district and delegates. Among the Negro delegates are Mrs. Helen Rennix and Charles B. Coles. Mr. Coles died a few days ago and no one was substituted for him, and as it now stands a white man is in the District delegate.
Tax Commissioner John R. Crews of the Sixth Assembly District leads his delegation. Henry M. Spear, the Negro leader, is one of the delegation.
Arthur Q. Martin, and Mrs. Mamle J. Taylor, co-leader of the Tenth Assembly District, are the Negro delegates for their district.
In the Eleventh Assembly District, David Simmons, leader, and Mrs. David Simmons, co-leader, are the Negro delegates.
From the Seventeenth Assembly District, which has the largest Negro vote in the county, he will be able to elect the only Republican assemblyman in the county, the Negro delegates are: Clarence J. Holland, leader; Gertrude Banner, leader; William Banner, leader; Albert Hueston, who are district captains, are alternates. The Eighth, Twenty-second and Twenty-fourth Districts, where there is a large Negro vote, did not select any Negro delegates.
The total number of delegates chosen was 1,139. Out of this number there was a total of eleven Negro delegates and alternates.

Federal Judge Martineau of Arkansas, temporarily sitting here, was so incensed. Friday when a jury brought in a verdict not of guilty in the case of diggar, that he ordered the jurors to draw their pay warrants and not return for any further duty.
Carter was charged with conducting a speakeasy at 1700 Pacific street and with the diggar and Mankan, white, said they found a 25-gallon still in operation.
After being out an hour and a half the jurors came in and told Judge Martineau they were unable to reach a verdict. They brought in a courtroom enough and sent them out again. Fifteen minutes later they returned with the acquittal. Questioned by Judge Martineau on the reason for the verdict, most of the jurors said there was a doubt that Carter was present at the court. Judge Martineau said that if they could not convict on such clear evidence as was before them, it was useless for them to remain on the jury. He then dismissed them. Questioned in Carter's case marked the fourth successive acquittal in four days of defendants in the same court charged with liquor violations.

Lincoln Giants to Again Invade City of Churches
At Farmer Oval in Brooklyn, N. Y., near Fresh Pond Road station on the Myrtle avenue-Ridgewood "L" or Ridgewood train from the Municipal Building at the Brooklyn Bridge, on Saturday the Farmers are scheduled to meet the Lincoln Giants in one game called at 3:30 p. m. sharp.
The Farmers and Lincoln met two weeks ago, at which time the Farmers lost by a score of 4 to 3 in one of the hardest fought games ever played in Glendale. The Lincolns put over their winning run in the ninth inning and some of the fans still claim that they were not entitled to this run.
The Farmers during the past season have played the best ball of any of the Brooklyn semi-pro clubs, having won two and lost two to the Royal Giants, lost two games to Bacharach Giants, scores of 5 to 3 and 6 to 4; beat the Baltimore Black Sox of Baltimore, score 7 to 6; beat Santop's Broncos two games, broke even with the Mohawk Giants of Schenectady and beat the Penn Red Caps.
For Farmers the pitching will be done by either Bill Boylan, Johnny Enzmann, the former big league, or Henry Wiley, with Hirten and Donovan catching.

Hurls Ridicule at Race Detractors
Dr. Lawton Points Out Salient Points of the True Americanism
According to a letter the Rev. William R. Lawton, one of the best known Presbyterian preachers in the country, sent to a local white daily recently, "The Negroes are really enjoying the actors and actresses in Congress and the Southern legislatures in their colorophilia comica." Dr. Lawton stated in his letter: "To be a 100 per cent American citizen in the spirit and letter of the law as written by the fathers; to be an embodiment of the ideal they set up in the basic instrument of the new nation, requires a new political birth, a new creature, radically different from the citizens of the governments of the world." "Many who are loud in their profession of American citizenship are by nature, training and practice not used for the nation's greatest gift. The reason is the principle of political equality. White is greatest asset, their stock-in-trade.
"We are surprised at the low grade of statemanship of the South, they need to plant a new crop under a new environment, training and practice."
"The Negroes are really enjoying the actors and actresses in Congress and Southern legislatures in their colorophilia comics. And they are very grateful for the editors of some of the great dailies and comics of our thoughtful Americans who have high Americanism of the first lady of the land in extending a political courtesy."
Dr. Lawton is a former pastor of the Siloam Presbyterian Church, and the Siloam Americanist of the Rendell Memorial Church of the South. For over a quarter of a century he has been one of the leading political factors in Republican politics as a leader and orator. He holds a clerical position in the Brooklyn Marriage License Bureau, being the only one of the many men he and his distinguished wife, Mrs M. C. Lawton, reside at 544 Madison street.
Mrs. Lawton has been as active in public life as her husband and is a former president of the Empire State Bank. She has held that office longer than any other president. She is now county leader of the Negro Republican women. With all her public duties she has served a large family.

Before the Civil War, the city of
New Orleans was often styled the
“paris of America.” The province of
Toulstans, orignally settled by the
French, and until 1612, when it be-
came a state of the American union,
contained a population naturally
distinguished by the sams general
characteristics as those which mark-
ed the people of France,
‘The Frenchman has been s long
time = devotee of the fine arts, es-
peclally in that gay and brilliant city
of Paris. So, on leaving Prance and
crossing the seas, first to Canada and
then down to Louisiana, he brought
TIS We Dareiculary tbat of msl,
‘tifal
as he felt, in the fatherland. And
s0 New Orleans, in time, grew to be
the metropolis of Louisiana, and be-
came also to the Prench settlers the
“paris of America.”
‘Does all that I have said previous
jy apply to the Ethiopian people of
New Orleans as well as to the others?
Strange to say, it does. Natural lovers
of the art, and as capable of musical
appreciation, they, too, although with
far fewer ‘advantages for culture,
have with volce and instrument—
even a8 composers—helped to form
the throngs of harmonists in that
section, playing no small part, They
have long been marked for their
Intuitive love of and proficiency in
‘muyo and other of the eloquent aris
t the year 1860 the New Or-
leans Picayune testified to thelr su
perlor taste for an appreciation of
the drams, Some of these people,
having avoided subjection to the de-
pressing eruelties of abject servitude,
although they suffered much from
the caste spirit that presented great
obstacles to them, were allowed to
acquire means for defraying the ex-
pense of private instruction, or for
the sending of their children to
northern or European schools. Others
Jess fortunate, in spite of all handl-
caps, were moved by the splrt of ert-
love and were so ardent and deter-
mined as to excel, strange to say, in
thelr creations and performances,
‘During this period of musical
struggles there was organized an a8.
sociation of Negro men called the
Philharmonic Society, with which a
few lberal-minded “American and
foreign musicians were always glad
to be associated from an arate
standpoint only, to assist in the play-
ing of overtures and other music of
a classical nature, This distinguished
and scholarly body of one, hundred
amateur musicians, with whom the
best ‘artists might ‘well be proud £0
affiliate, added honor to the good
name of the Negro group of New Or-
Jeans, even in those dark, gloomy
days of oppression.
‘These people with all thelr soul
craved sesthetic satisfaction in the
love of music, drama and eipécially
opera, with {ts ravishing music, its
romance of sentiment and incidents,
{ts resplendent scenery, rich costumes
and brilliant deliverance of its ac-
tors, ‘The opera was intended to
charm & people of luxurious tastes,
but was denied @ people unwilling to
sit ins place designated for the s0-
thought-of rabble, or, in other words,
colored folie.
‘Nevertheless, those sesthetically
inolined Negroes were not to be de-
terred from following that bent of
mind which @ love of the arte di-
rected: and through race pride they
were thrown entirely upon thelr own
resources. These high-minded men
who formed the Philharmonic So-
clety and other musical associations
found much to compensate them for
what they lost by being debarred
from entering the white man's clr-
cles of culture and entertainment,
Tt mnist be remembered that the
only requirement for entrance to the
white man’s circles was the mere
possession of a white face and not a
love of of proficiency in the arts. In
many respects we wonder if the lapse
of time has brought about any
marked improvement in s racial,
brotherly feeling over that tgoble
‘and foollsh one of complexion.

Richard B. Moore, president of the

raise the rent at 20 West 137th street

fayorable to the tenants, he sald.
‘Other tenants who are too poor or

president asserted. ‘Ten per cent of
the tenants tn & block in West i4ath

Josephine came at a time when
the Nogro dancer was still a novelty

her sparkling good nature, and her
supple, superb body fiashing nude
swept her into fame. Later Miss
Baker was content to rest on her
laurels, and when we saw her in
May, ‘1927, her performance was
poor and lamenteble. Adelaide Hall
is full of vim and snap. She is
vivacious, fascinating, very good-
natured and unaffected—the sign of
the real artist which she is. Her eyes

Comparisons are odious but some-

Organization
EY=sTs taking place in the world of
the theatre for the past few years
have shown that we were not far
wrong in our contention of the ne-
cessity for organization among Negro
Performers. When it gets to that
place where white men will go out of
thelr way to take the stump and
plead with Negroes to organize one
can well bow his head with discour-
agement at the lack of interest shown
by these people who have done s0
much in helping to place the white
man ins frame of mind to face his
daily. task refreshed after a night's
wholesome entertainment.
Joseph P, Barrett has been one of
the country’s foremost press agents in
his time, at least long before the
purists arrived and called the gentry
“public relations council,” and what
Joe doesn't know about the theatrical
game {s really not worth knowing,
Noting the trend of things recently
and the manner in which the people
of @ recent show making a try for
Broadway recognition were treated,
he was driven to the following lines
which we reproduce below:
FNew Fork, July 23, 1929,
‘Me. Romeo L. Dougherty.
Dramatle Editor, Amsterdam News,
New York City.
‘Dear Sir: After noting the briitant
strides made {n theatrieals by the Negre
Face {nthe past three years, Both on
Heoadway and in the principal cities,
the thought occurs to ma. that ‘some
steps should be taken toward giving th
acter the protection of an actors oF
ganization.
‘At the present tims he is at the
mercy Of every shoestring manager who
‘ishes to. explolt him and Is eager to
fake advantage of his helplessness from
ack of organization. Sy suggestion I
that an “Abraham Lincoln Branch” o
the Actors’ Equity be formed, run_o
he identicat form of the original asso
‘ation,
‘No lesa « figure than David Belasco
has declared the Negro race aa a, force
in the theatre sure to be reckoned with
and the “tig string” critics have from
time to time expressed thelr admiration
Jot the artistry of the late Bert Williams,
‘Charles Glipin, Paul Robesoa, Bill Rob:

JOE BARRETT.
210 West Forty-etghth street,
New York Clty.
As a member of the opposite race
Mr, Barrett speaks with the authority
‘one in a peculiar position to plumb
the deptns ‘of a conaltion. which is
truly ‘deplorable. : But it 1s not: alone
in the far reaches of Broadway that
Sh AE ad eer

Harlem.
Despite the unpleasantness sur
rounding the attempt of certain men
to form the Florence Mills Theatrical
Astociation, somehow we see in this
thing vast ‘possibilities which should
induce the Negro actor to rally to the
cause with his undivided support,
Coming together under the banner
‘which carries the name of one of the
finest creatures that ever entertained
the people of the old and new worlds,
tt would be @ splendid opportunity for
these people to take advantage of the
possibilities and round out an organ-
ization which would surround them
‘with the protection of which they are
30 terribly in need.
‘That the success of the Negro Mo-
tion Picture Operators has failed to
carry its true story to the actors is
very evident, but after all is said and
done we are almost tempted to re-
fterate that we are indeed @ race of
children and sadiy in need of some
Moses to lead us into the Land of
Promise—a land of co-operation, de-
‘old of envy and malice and those
other things which contribute to keep
us‘ in the slough of ignorance and
deep despond.
‘Even the midnight shows as pre-
sented in this community should
come under the supervision of a lead-
ing body of actors, for already these
shows (We mean those staged by out-
siders and not the regular affairs by
the theatres here) bid fair to become
a “racket” whereby all the moneys
taken in will not find thelr way into
the pockets of Negroes. Any theatre
management has the right to make
whatever charge they see fit for the
use of their theatre, but there are
quite @ few Negroes in thls commun~
ity believing that the least some of
them can do would be to make a
gesture of appreciation for the sup-
port given them by the Negroes of
‘the community by charging only what
the actual expenses happen to be for
‘the use of their houses instead of at-
tempting ‘to swell thelr coffers off
Negro charitable affairs,
"We do not believe that such people
fare really moved with any desire to
help the struggling Negroes of this
community, and we might 9s well

Ascension Commandery
Sponsoring Benefit
Police Sergeant Samuel J. Battles, commander of Ascension Commandery Knights Templars, and fifteen six knights are arranging a midnight show in the interest of the annual Thanksgiving theatre party and dinner which the commandery gives for the poor children of Harlem.
Arrangements have already been made to take the children this year to the Lafayette Theatre. Ascension Commandery, instituted in 1922, ranks now as one of the country's outstanding uniformed Masonic organizations. It has had as commanders such prominent Masons as Sir Alfred R. Smith, Sir George E. Marshall, Sir Charles L. Thurpe, deceased, and its present head, Samuel J. Battles.
The dispensing of charity was instituted by its first commander and has been carried on ever since entirely by the memorial in the assistance of financial help. From 500 to 1,000 children are annually fed and entertained.

Krus, Primitive Liberians, Had Code of Morals
CHICAGO, July 29 — Proverbs from the primitive Kru people of Liberia were read at a meeting of the central section of the American Anthropological Association by Dr. M. J. Herskovits of Northwestern University, to show that even among these early people traditional belief has much to do with guiding individual lives.
Among the proverbs read were: "Two clever women do not plant rice in the same field."
"Look at that which is offered before you set your price." (In Liberia this refers to taking a wife unseen.)
"The ugly woman's pepper is ground fine."
"Who who boasts is not always rich."
"The sound of the snapping trap which has caught me remains in my ears."
The Kru people, Dr. Henkovitz said, believe that the first child is always less capable than the others, although he inherits the property. Also they do not cling to life, believing that an old man who finds the world hard to leave is like a "broken pot by the fireside."

An African Superstition
By ERNEST B. KALIBALA
GOD created the earth and all things thereof. He sent for one of his heavenly servants named Kintu and charged him with power over all His handiwork. Kintu had a wife, Nambi, and a brother, Mr. Death. The purpose of his brother, as his name signifies, was to destroy.
God called in Kintu and his wife and had a council with them. He instructed them to pack up all their belongings and have them in readiness for departure early in the morning, while Mr. Death was still sleep.
"Pack up your belongings," God commanded, "aid depart early in the morning. Do not let your bounty be lost in the absence of closure." God advised them. "If you do, you and your wife are both responsible for whatever will happen to you and your children."
One afternoon, when Mr. Death was out, Kintu and his wife packed up all their belongings and stored them away ready for the trip. The property consisted of a chicken and the chicken feed. Early morning, Kintu and his wife dead sleep. Kintu and his wife started on their earthly trip to take charge of God's handwork. On their way to the earth the woman remembered that she had forgotten the chicken's feed. She at once called her husband's attention to it and suggested that she be go for it. Kintu positively instructed to entertain her suggestion. He based his refusal on the ground that it was already morning and that Mr. Death would see her. However, his determined wife returned. As Namit was about to remove the feed, Mr. Death appeared in the doorway and inquired about his concealment. Kintu and his conceal all about the trip and where Kintu was, Mr. Death determined to follow her.
The woman remembered quickly what God had commanded them to do and what her husband had just said. Mr. Death's determination to go back with her to Kintu weakened her mind so that she was not even able to speak. They both want and met Kintu awaiting his wife's return. When Mr. Death showed Kintu protested and went to report to God what his wife had done.
"My wife has disobeyed my word," Kintu told God, "and she has brought with her the forbidden gentleman, Mr. Death."
"I shall have nothing to do with that," G. replied. Proceed to the earth and make out as best you can."
Kintu, his wife and Mr. Death came to the earth. Mr. Death was as soon as and unbecoming conduct of his brother that he made up his mind to average him and his offspring.
From that time to this the descendants of Kintu all over the world are subjected to Death's power. Kintu迟 supervisory power and became the victim of nature. Instead, he had to struggle for his living. Desertation is a part of man. There is no race so inferior that it does not practice superstition. Moreover, there is no race so superior that it has escaped superstition. If you take time to analyze the Biblical story of creation and the creation story just quoted above you will have practically the same results, with only the difference of the sarpep and the chicken. What the serpent accomplished in the creation story also accomplished in the creation story is to the Hebrew story as the chicken is to the African story.

Irate Landlady Held for Biting and Striking Man
Mamie Gulon, 45, 271 West 138th street, charged with felonious assault on Jackson Simmons, 101 West 130th street, July 12, was held Thursday in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Flood of the Washington Heights Court.
Simmons testified that Mrs. Gulon, his landlady, struck him over the eye with a hammer and sunk her teeth into his chest during an argument over the amount of rent he should pay.
Mrs. Gulon, who was convicted of disorderly conduct in 1920 and fined $30, asserted that Simmons slapped her and refused to pay her money owed to her. She denied striking him with a hammer and said he received the wound over his eye by striking his head against a table in the scuffle which ensued.
"If he's bit him," she told Magistrate Flood after he had inspected an ugly gash on Simmons' chest.

Modest Soldier Drowns
PARIS, France, July 29 (ANP)—Modesty on the part of a Senegalese soldier resulted in his death Sunday. The soldier was bathing in the River Tarn near Montauban when a crowd gathered on the bank and laughingly told him to "come out of the water." Being entirely nude, the soldier refused and remained in the water. Suddenly he sank exhausted and several members of the group on the bank realizing his plight endeavored to rescue him but failed.
Tropical Sunlight
Is tropical sunlight best for tubercular patients? This question is to be made a matter of research during the next two years by physicians in Porto Rico, Jamaica and Trinidad, and by groups of scientists in various parts of the United States and other countries. According to the Science News Letter the study will be conducted under the auspices of the light-research committee of the American Sanatorium Tuberculosis Association.

MEN lean more to justice and women to mercy. Men excel in energy, self-reliance, perseverance and magnanimity; women in humility, gentleness, modesty and endurance.—William E. H. Lecky.
WOMEN never truly command till they have given their promise to obey; and they are never in more danger of being made slaves than when the men are at their feet.

Burnt Cork and Negroes
From the N. Y. Sun
GOOD old Bob Mott of Chicago, whose Pekin and Indiana theatres of fifteen years ago gave the late Florence Mills. Ethel Waters, "Hamtree" Harrington and dozens of others, including three outstanding figures in "Hot Chocolates"—"Jazz-ups" Richardson, Billy Higgins and Billy Maxey—their first opportunities, used to say that colored comedians applying burnt cork. In "Hot Chocolates" are three Negroes who could, if they wished, apply white grease paint to their lips and be as equally grotesque as they are when cmeared with cork. But they would no more think of appearing minus a coal black face than most white comedians would think of "going on" without a makeup.
These comedians are Richardson, Higgins and Maxey. True, Eddie Green uses cork, and so does every other Negro comedian, but Eddie, whose sense of humor is alert, declares he used to be a magician and therefore cannot forget any stage tricks. He is to be excused.
Of the Minstrel Mind.
Why don't Negroes paint their faces red? Why don't they resort to the comedy makeups of old-time comics? What is the psychology back of this burnt cork business? Simply that the Negro is basically a minstrel performer. His mind runs along the same channel as used to run "Honey Boy" Evans and every white actor that appears in blackface. It is habit, built up from the minstrel days and likely never to change.
The Negro actor is no different in his inhibitions than the white actor.
Political News and
A Hoosier With His Eye on the Registries.

Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind., is slated for the office of Register of the Treasury, according to the members of his State Republican conference, to advocate the source of their information.

Send the President a Strong Appeal.
A strong appeal was received at the White House last week from the Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor of the Nazarene Congregational Church of Brooklyn, representing a large element of the citizens of that city. The letter in part reads: "We wish to put ourselves on record as standing squarely behind you in your efforts to enforce all the laws of the land. We do not believe a good citizen will be the laws he would obey. We therefore urge them by all the laws, particularly the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth Amendments."
Negro Vote Declines the Election.
For the first time in eight years, the Republicans of Annapolis, Md., have elected their candidate, Charles Queenstad, as mayor. The Fourth Ward re-elected two, Charles A. Olivers and Charles L. Spriggs, members of the City Council. They had no opposition and the vote of the ward is said to have decided the contest in favor of the Republican candidate for mayor.

With new life infused into the constituency, the school will open September 19, 1929, under the leadership of its new president, Dr. Vernon Johns of New York City.
That his face is black doesn't matter to him. If he is a comedian he is a blackface comedian, and regardless of how Zululike his countenance you'll always find him resorting to burnt cork.
Ho is not an imitator, as is generally believed. He is conscious that minstrelsy is his own property and that the whites have taken away something that is by his imitating his droolieries, his color and his articulation.
Billy Higgins, for instance, is remembered chiefly for his grotesque gestures—Negrold in every movement. These he 'first saw at the Pekin Theatre in Chicago, where as a member of the company he often had to

substitute for a clown who had an irritating habit of getting plastered at the matinee. The falls this man did register in Billy's mind and he has been doing those same eccentric tumbles ever since. Billy Maxie depends slightly on exaggerated costumes, shepherd plaids and funny hats. But who can say that this doesn't belong to his race? Aren't the colored males fashion plates in their own way and isn't the first rule of being funny elaboration of the truth?
Must Have Burnt Cork.
"Jazzilips" Richardson is straight from the jungle and not mistaking it. He dances as only a Negro would dance. But some one once said he was a comedian and therefore, for that reason alone, he applies burnt cork to his dusky face. Both Connie and George Immerman, producers of "Hot Chocolates," have tried in vain to "clean" him up. It just can't be done.
Once a Negro is branded a comedian he is never without his can of burnt cork. He tries to become blacker, as his sister actresses try to become whiter. And when it comes to arguing about dressing rooms, electric signs and program billing he is exactly like the Caucasian thespian. Bob Mott had the right idea fifteen years ago: "Negro actors think the same as white."

COMMERCIAL NEWS ITEMS
James P. Davis, founder of the National Federation of Negro Farmers, which is said in an interview this week: "Our organization is the colored farmer's only hope. Every white farm organization in the country has a membership drive, but not one of them is looking for Negro members. Negro farmers are not invited to the public meetings, in the courthouse. No Negro farmer has even been a delegate to any of the meetings of the American Farm Bureau."
BUSINESS—Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League addressed a group meeting in Hampton last week. In commenting upon Negro business, Dr. Moton said: "Our success is along lines, but we have been in business. There have been bank failures, due not to dishonesty but to inexperience and lack of backing in business. Chain stores are a constant threat to the independent merchant. Get going! We must have a strong business and we had better get some religion into ourselves—or out of ourselves."
Roy Wilkins, columnist for the KANSAS CITY CALL, says in de-
velopment of the book people who read Negro newspapers,
who buy them with hard-earned
money, write them in newspapers,
pages—these have made the
Negro press. The best Negro papers
today are better than hundreds of
those that have been sold and
compare favorably with dailies in
cities as large as 100,000 population."

are sharing in the national newspaper
advertising campaign for Cremo

Ministers of Hate
Ministers of Hate
PRESENTATIVE LaGuardia, in a day Sunday, attacked the visiting Federals in the South, calling them "Jim Crow on a junket." In a letter to Chief Justice that "these foreign judges, who don’t New York and who attempt to mete out to the color of a man’s skin, be New York departments."
REMARKS were caused by the rejection of two Southern judges. Some time ago, nowbeat a lawyer and censured a white man next to colored people. Last week, presided at the trial of a man in self violating the prohibition law, and the judge sent them back to the court. When they returned with a verdict, the judge indignantly dismissed them, were not worthy to be jurors.
PUBLIC LIKES to feel that a judge not an ambassador of race preyed, however, that every Southerner conscience to impose the prejudices of the North. Last Sunday the Rev. J. Isaac pastor, preached at a prominent man instead of preaching the Word of God against Congressman DePriest and stigmatically as a contradiction of the Word of God teaching of the Scriptures. He taught slaveholders, who quoted the Bible.
SAME THING is done by Southern publicists, politicians and all who do reach the public. The judge comes for justice and works for injustice; to intensely preach the love of God the hate of men. With them, all one must give way to their hate for the North lives, laughs and thrives in spite of improving Newspaper.
QUESTIONNAIRE was recently submitted by professors in the universities of the Midwest asked what changes they would put in charge of newspapers, to imitate American journalism. It was found that of that 60 per cent distrusted the suggested that editorials be printed, that crime news be treated less than headlines be diminished, that news is shorter, and that up-to-the-minute news for carefully prepared articles of edition.
PROFESSORS’ suggestions would magazine, but not for a newspaper, unless paper to be read only by professors. Honored, would demand more space for gallists for sporting news, sailors for the society leader wants a half-page for people want love news; children would right if the whole paper were given tips. And these are only a few of the whom a newspaper must please.

REPRESENTATIVE LaGuardia, in a speech in Harlem Sunday, attacked the visiting Federal judges here from the South, calling them "Jim Crow judges up here on a junket." In a letter to Chief Justice Taft he asked that "these foreign judges, who don't understand New York and who attempt to mete out justice according to the color of a man's skin, be kept from the New York departments."
HIS REMARKS were caused by the recent conduct of two Southern judges. Some time ago Judge Atwell browbeat a lawyer and censured a white woman for living next to colored people. Last week Judge Martineau presided at the trial of a man in Brooklyn accused of violating the prohibition law. The jury disagreed and the judge sent them back to the jury room. When they returned with a verdict of "not guilty" the judge indignantly dismissed them and said that they were not worthy to be jurors.
THE PUBLIC LIKES to feel that a judge is a judge and not an ambassador of race prejudice. It seems, however, that every Southerner considers it his sacred mission to impose the prejudices of the South upon the North. Last Sunday the Rev. J. W. Ham, an Atlanta pastor, preached at a prominent New York church. Instead of preaching the Word of God he inveighed against Congressman DePriest and stigmatized social equality as a contradiction of the Word of God and the teaching of the Scriptures. He talked like the old slaveholders, who quoted the Bible to justify slavery.
THE SAME THING is done by Southern writers, teachers, publicists, politicians and all who are in a position to reach the public. The judge comes here to administer justice and works for injustice; the pastor comes ostensibly to preach the love of Christ and preaches the hate of men. With them, all other business must give way to their hate for the Negro. But the Negro lives, laughs and thrives in spite of them.
Improving Newspapers
Improving Newspapers
A QUESTIONNAIRE was recently submitted to 1,500 professors in the universities of the Middle West. They were asked what changes they would make, if they were put in charge of newspapers, to improve the quality of American journalism. It was found that only 60 per cent of them read newspapers carefully, and that most of that 60 per cent distrusted them. The majority suggested that editorials be printed on the front page, that crime news be treated less sensationally, that headlines be diminished, that news stories be made shorter, and that up-to-the-minute news be sacrificed for carefully prepared articles of educational value.
THE PROFESSORS' suggestions would be good for a magazine, but not for a newspaper, unless it were a newspaper to be read only by professors. Ministers, if questioned, would demand more space for church news, pugilists for sporting news, sailors for shipping news. The society leader wants a half-page for her pink tea; flappers want love news; children would scream with delight if the whole paper were given over to comic strips. And these are only a few of the classes of people whom a newspaper must please.
A NEWSPAPER has to be a common denominator of all classes of the public. The moron has to be interested as well as the philosopher. In fact, a paper can do without philosophers much better than it can do without morons, for philosophers are scarce and morons are multitudinous. A newspaper is a mirror of the shifting life of the people; it can reflect only what appears before it. Suggestions are often valuable, but many of them would be changed if the suggesters had to face the practical problems of running a newspaper.

THE FACT that this had to be done to avoid a lynching is a sad commentary on American civilization, but it is more than had been done in other cases. There is still the question as to whether Bouyer had a fair trial, but the fact that he had a trial shows an improvement.
THE current issue of The Crisis contains its annual analysis of the higher educational activities of the race. Negroes are rushing into college and university in unwonted numbers, yielding a list of graduates which would have been undreamed of even a decade ago. The contingent of Negro students in Northern colleges is rapidly increasing. There are, today, probably more Negro students of full collegiate grade registered in Northern institutions than could be found in Negro colleges twenty years ago. The standards are advancing to keep pace with the educational progress of the times.
Philanthropy, which at one time seemed to show indifference, if not unfriendliness, towards the higher education of the colored race, is now liberally sustaining the fledging Negro institutions and supplying adequate means to carry on the grade and standard of work assumed. The old, silly division as to higher and industrial education has happily passed away. Hampton and Tuskegee are now abitious to assume rank among the leading Negro colleges, along with their industrial applications. These two colleges are now adequately abitious to ensure permanence. Howard, Pisk, Atlanta and the rest are entering upon a new era of prosperity with assurance of adequate means to carry on and carry up

HOW American troops in France during the last war began "making the world safe for democracy" by teaching the French the A, B, C, of color prejudice is exposed in an article in Le Monde by Rene Maran, author of "Batouala."
The article is entitled "The Americanization of France" and traces the growth of color prejudice in France from the coming of the French to the recent barring of the Haitian Minister at the Cafe La Coupeau.
Maran gives at length the instructions that he says were officially issued at the instigation of the American authorities to French officers who had to deal with American Negro troops. These in-
According to Maran, they were confidential. They were entrusted to Col. Linard, chief of the French military mission, for dissemination and are as follows: the commandant that French officers called to command the black American troops or to come in contact with them should have an exact notion of the position of the Negro in the United States. The instructions exposed in the following note ought, therefore, to be communicated to them and it be known and well diffused. It is a duty of the French military authorities to instruct by the aid of
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A DANGEROUS MOVE
Jerseyte Disapproves of Colored Voters' League's Petition for State Fair.
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
As I scanned the current issue of The Amsterdam News, I was attracted to what may at first sight seem an honest effort in the right direction, refer to the announcement that the Colored Veteran League of Newark has petitioned the Board of Commissioners for the use of Rivers Park during the week of September 1-8 to commemorate a "whole lot of Negro dolm's" etc.
Bearing in mind that somewhere there is a road paved with good intentions and the unfortunate place to which it leads, I am asking the favor of the influence of your paper to the end that this attempt to have Negroes congregate on soil which, it seems, was "dedicated to discrimination," may be nipped in the bud.

North Carolina, West Virginia and other States are providing splendidly for the Negro department of higher education under State auspices. These college men and women have almost recruited to capacity many of the higher opportunities of the race. The professional ranks are rapidly being supplied.

"2. The American point of view upon the Negro question may seem wrong to many French minds, but it is not the province of us, French, to find fault with what certain people will call a 'prejudice.' American opinion upon the Negro question is unanimous and admits of no discussion.
"The large number of Negroes in the United States (fifteen millions, about) would create a danger of degeneracy for the white people of the American Republic if an inexorable separation was not made between blacks and whites.
"As this danger does not exist for the French race, the French public is accustomed to treat the Negro familiarly and be very indulgent toward him."
"This indulgence and this familiarity hurt the Americans profoundly. They consider this manner of treating the Negro an attack on their national beliefs and their national pride. They fear that the contact with the French will inspire tolerable pretensions in the Negro. It will make that every effort be made that American opinion and pride be not hurt.
"Although he is a citizen of the United States, the Negro is considered by the white American as an inferior being, with whom he can only deal in matters of service or business. The American Negro is generally regarded as being unintelligent, indiscreet, as lacking in professional conscience, and soon becomes too familiar.
"The views of the Negro, are a
opened three years ago, displayed on an unusually large sign the announcement "Negro Patronage Not Solicited." And only after the N. A. A. C. P. had threatened court action did the management finally remove the sign. Seventy per cent of the trade since the opening had been from Negroes. As a consequence the place hung on for two seasons and then closed for want of white support.
Now comes the Colored Voter's League, proposing that the park be reopened and dedicated to Negro achievement, practically nullifying the principle for which the N. A. A. C. P. made such a determined fight.
Incidentally, the park situation in New Jersey is very acute. NOT A PARK IN ESEXE COUNTY, of which Newark is the county seat, will even admit a Negro inside the grounds. And the political tragedy of it all appears when the local papers announce that the City Clerk is manager of one and that two of the city "fathers" have large interests in others. These parks not even tolerate church picnics.

filled. Less inviting and attractive places still await replenishment by college men and women, with the requisite consecration and spirit of sacrifice. The Christian ministry alone can absorb half the output for decades to come. But, unfortunately, where the harvest is whitest, the volunteer laborers are fewest. The leadership of the race in many important lines is still in the hands of forceful personalities with energy, enterprise and initiative, often without a technical liberal education. The teacher in charge with Booker T. Washington in the influence which he imparted to the educational thought, opinion and programs of his day and generation and the day and generation ensuing, Dr. R. R. Moton stands next in line in the same field.
In politics we find that many of our most outstanding, conspicuous leaders fall without the pale of the collegiate fraternity. John R. Hawkins, Bob Church, Walter Cohen, Emmett Scott, Oscar DPriest rank with or above any like number of technical collegians in the domain of politics.
Among the women, Mary Bethune, Nannie Burroughs and Alice Dunbar are unsurpassed in their ability to do things among the womanhood of the race. R. W. Rutherford quit the plow handles and arose to the highest business race. When it comes by the race. When it comes to organizing the masses into coherent and efficient working units, the college man has not so far shown off to any conspicuous advantage.

Tells of Dr. DuBois
An anonymous story of the life of Dr. W. E. B.

An editorial note explains that the anonymity of the writers

slons from the comparison. Three names stand out conspicuously in the organization and leadership of the great Baptist denomination, which involves two-thirds of the entire Christian membership among Negroes. Morris, Boyd and Williams constitute the big three. But one more comparison and I must desist from this comparison, not for want of material, but for lack of space. If we confine ourselves to the Negro intelligentia as expressed by creative output, the college man does not always come out first best. Of the creative writers listed D. Loeck's, New Negro majority hold a college degree. Of the twelve Negro members of the trustee board of Howard University, only one is a college graduate, and that one is a woman.
I am not unmindful of the formidable array of collegiate celebrities which might be listed to match the illustrations herelin set forth. My main purpose is to stimulate collegiate output to best堤帅 the opportunities which lie before them. College education cannot give ability, force, energy, enterprise or initiative. These are inborn. But the advantages of college culture afford the best environment for such qualities to grow and develop. Comparisons are odious or odorous, according as the college is more or less College-bred Negroes must. no longer satisfy their supercilious vanity by reveling in their academic conceit. They must, rather, crowd in on the arena and take hold of the mass life of the race. They must take leadership in the development of an economic, industrial, religious and cultural estate. In this way only will wisdom be justified of her children.

They may be correct and amiable with them, but they must avoid treating them on the same level with white American officer, lest they hurt the latter profoundly. They must not be permitted to sit at the same table; the shaking of hands and conversations should be avoided, as well as visits not of a strict service nature. They should be taken not to praline, should Negro troops too warmly, especially before Americans. Recognize their good qualities and their services, but do so in moderate terms and strictly according to reality.
"Try to see that the population in the cantonments do not spoil the Negroes. Americans are indignant at the sight of a white woman and a black man together in public. They have recently protested vigorously against a picture of a parisienne entitled 'The child of Paris,' and are presenting a white woman with a Negro in booth. The familiarity of the white women with the blacks is, moreover, profoundly regretted by experienced colonials, who see in it a considerable loss of prestige for the white race.

Know New York State
New York became a State on July 9, 1776, when the Provincial Convention assembled at White Plains approve the Declaration of Independence adopted at Philadelphia five days earlier.
The first theatre in America was opened in New York City on December 6, 1732, and the first American town to tour Europe was taken from New York by Augustin Daly in 1838.
The only French Ambassador to this country ever to become an American citizen was Edmond Charles Ganet. He married the daughter of Governor George Clinton and in 1724 settled near Jamaica. L. L. Gas and electric utility companies of the State employ 100,000 men and women. The population is equivalent to the population of Utica.
As late an 1804 the City of New York maintained a whipping-post in City Hail Park, where an owner could ship for a fee of 25 cents. The pillory and gallows were both nearby.
There are in New York State approximately three million telephones, three million gas meters and three million water meters. No other State can equal these totals.

The Liver
ONE hears a great deal about the liver being out of order.
In fact it shares the reputation of the kidneys, which are
blamed for every degree of pain which is felt in the back.
The liver is one of the most important organs of the body, with
well-known functions, disturbances of which will result in
definite symptoms.
Before mentioning some of the diseases, of the liver, it would be well to consider the chief facts regarding its functions. It should be remembered that the kidney, to a large extent, is very much the hindmind of the liver, by excreting the waste materials which it forms and thus enabling it to perform its duties efficiently and to keep the blood free from polsonous substances. It is obvious that the kidney is the liver after the composition of the urine; on the other hand, disease of the kidney may result in faulty functioning of the liver.
This starchy food which we eat, after various digestive processes, is carried to the liver, where it is stored as a modified form of starch. According to the body requirements, this form of starch is given up to the body, where it is used by the liver to convert the liver after even more complicated digestion, and some of this is converted into starch by the liver.

FROM FIVE TO TWENTY-FIVE. By Joseph Columbus Manning. Published by T. A. Hebbona, New York. $1.00.
JOSEPH C. MANNING is known chiefly as an exile. Born in Alabama, able, upright and eloquent, he had a great career before him. At twenty-four, defying the old line Democratic regime of his state, he was elected to the legislature on the Populist ticket. As the prophet of a new movement, with a daily increasing popularity, he had the Governorship and even the United States Senate easily within his reach. He threw them both away.
All that was asked of him was that he should subscribe to the prejudices of his time and his section of the country. But he had a vision and he followed it to his rule—or his glory, according to the way you look at it. He believed that his beloved South Carolina would not tolerate the Negro was allowed the same rights and privileges as the white man.
DRAMA, and we hope that in another book Joseph Manning will describe it.
SELECTED ESSAYS.

"Selected Essays" is a booklet "written in a simple way, in order that its contents may be easily understood by young readers."
He looked upon the carnival of political corruption in the South and saw that racial oppression was behind it. He became the evangel, or the heretic, of racial equality. In a few years, with friends and fortune gone, with his whole family estranged, he was driven out of his state.
Since that time he has lived in the North, often destitute, but newreceiving, like Garibaldi, and many other figures of history, he has walked the streets of an alien city, alone and unnoticed by the jostling crowds. Now he lives in New York, and far too few of the Negroes for whom he throw away his future know who he is.
"From Five to Twenty-five" is an autobiographical narrative of his early years in Alabama, the years before he started his crusade for the rights of the Negro. It reveals, among other things, the generally poor and the poor as well as the Negro, have suffered from the system of fraud and oppression that followed slavery.
For instance, only one-third of the white children of school age in Alabama were enrolled in the schools, and school terms in the rural parts lasted only three weeks, spanning the famous rotten boroughs of England seem amateurish. In the sixteen best counties of the state three-fourths of the population was colored, and though Negroes were not allowed to vote they were, nevertheless, counted in the election returns. Thus, these sixteen counties dominated state politics. The poor were the ones ning, at the age of twenty-one, set out to fight. At once his family became estranged, and his community was against him, for any man who tried to break up the old Democratic party was regarded in the same light as an atheist. After a hot fight he won many votes, and the cause of Populism and was elected to the legislature.
His debates with his opponents were always lively. His rival for the legislature was a Baptist presacher with a flowing beard, who thought he could play upon the people's feelings byiding them. Famously, he told the sober people did not want a boy to represent them in the legislature, that Manning hadn't even grown whiskers. Manning replied that if whiskers were a qualification the ideal candidate for the legislature would be a billy goat. The retort made Manning famous because he was a Democrat. Thus Manning, by unselling the self-compacency of the hidebound Democratic machine, did a great service to the people of Alabam. This book is valuable because it throws light on that part of his life.
Negro readers, however, would have preferred an account of his last life, which included justice and progress he attacked the citadel of racial inequality. That battle has all the elements of

The liver also is responsible for the collection of the end products of meat digestion and the transformation of them into suitable chemical combinations to be passed out by the kidney.
To manufacture bile is another important function of the liver. This substance is a combination of water, chemicals, bile salts and pigments. Bile passes out from the liver into the intestines; some is stored in a reservoir under the liver called the gall bladder. The secretion of bile is continuous, but the rate varies. It is at its highest about four hours after a meal, and rises again about four hours afterwards. Without the presence of bile in the digestive tract, the digestion of fats is at a standstill, the color of feces is changed to a whitish hue and undigested particles of fat may be readily found.

Dental Talks BY BOY C. PROCTOR, D. D. S.
THE name pyrrhore means flow of
pus. Pyrrhore does not necessarily mean that pus must flow from the gums. When it has gone to that stage, it is well advanced. Pyrrhore, according to general usage, means that your gums or teeth have become affected. The name pyrrhore has long been unsatisfactory to the dental profession, in spite of its very common usage. The gums may be unhealthy for a long period of time, perhaps years. The toothbrush, when used with the proper method of gum massage, places a valuable instrument in the hands of the patient. This, together with proper dental treatment, is all that is needed to clear up a rash, a pimple or a cyst. Just don't let it get too far. The sooner the condition is treated, the better.

TURNED to the world for silence
But only turnoff kept
The very hills and valleys
Where beauty once had crept.
I turned to my heart for silence
I did not find it there.
For therein were the tyrants
Sorrow and despair.
I turned to my soul for silence-
There like a pensive pool
Was silence like a king in state
Calm, serene, and cool.
