LETTER SMUGGLED OUT OF HAITI SAYS U.S. MARINES SLEW HUNDREDS OF UNARMED NATIVES AT AUX CAYES MERRY CHRISTMAS BISHOP A. J. CAREY GOES ON TRIAL AS GRAFTER IN JOBS Charges Against Civil Service Commissioner Involve Aldermen Jackson and Anderson as Witnesses CHICAGO, Dec. 23 (ANP)—Interest is rampant in the investigation of the grand jury in alleged selling of civil service jobs and graft which opened here Friday, involving several members of the civil service board, including Bishop Archibald J. Carey of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Carey was indicted several months ago when a white man testified that he had paid the Bishop or his representatives sums of money for jobs which were never delivered, and it is alleged that promotions were contingent upon the amount of money paid for the recommendations. The most recent developments involve the calling of Aldermen Louis B. Anderson and Robert R. Jackson of the Second and Third Wards and Alderman B. A. Cronson, the Jewish alderman of the Fourth Ward, which is predominantly colored, as witnesses. According to the testimony of several policemen, these aldermen have been instrumental in having them reinstated in jobs which they had lost for various reasons. Aldermen Jackson and Anderson have stated that they would be willing to testify before the Grand Jury or any other body as they have nothing whatever to fear. Alderman Cronson, who is a nephew of Corporation Counsel Samuel Etelelson, is also willing to face the music and has declared that he has done nothing to defeat the purpose of the civil service commission. Bishop Carey, when indicted, stated that he was innocent of any graft charges and said the whole affair was a frame-up. Dr. U. C. Vincent Moves Back 'Home Keenly disappointed in not being able to continue as the directing head of the institution he founded, but happy that the Vincent Sanatorium is to continue to serve the purpose for which it was erected, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent has reopened his offices at their former location, 200 West 135th street. As soon as preliminary arrangements are completed, the sanatorium, located at 2348 Seventh avenue, will be reopened as a community project under a board of trustees. Overcoming obstacles of nearly every description, Dr. Vincent formally opened the sanatorium last March 17. There then followed a short period of unusual activity, during which the doctor's strength was taxed to its utmost. The young physician and surgeon broke under the strain and the summer months found him a patient in his own institution. His recuperation, now complete, was slow and tedious, his burdens became heavier and heavier, but he hung on until a contract was signed, whereby the sanatorium was to be continued as a sanatorium. Dr. Vincent's place in the medical profession had already been made before he opened the sanatorium. A graduate of the Medical College of the University of Pennsylvania, he was the first Negro internet admitted to Bellevue Hospital, where later as a resident surgeon he distinguished himself. Leaving Bellevue, Dr. Vincent opened offices for the practice of his profession in this city and soon became one of its outstanding and most progressive members.

The salary boost, which will average ten per cent and will become effective Jan. 1, will add approximately $6,000 to the payroll next year. After the formal announcement by the treasurer, William H. Davis, president and general manager, stated in an interview: "This voluntary raise in the wages of workers in all departments is a gesture indicating the corporation's appreciation of the service of the employees, who have made the increase possible.

P.)—Ending a period of suspense and reestablishing confidence in Negro leadership in Gary, the Whitlock conspiracy case, involving charges against two colored aldermen, a sergeant of detectives, two prominent lawyers, and two well known business men of the city, was nolle pressed by the Government in the Hammond Federal District Court last Wednesday afternoon on a motion by District Attorney, Oliver Loomis. Will Seek Rent Relief Court District and Harlem Senator When Lamar Perkins and Francis E. Rivers take their seats in the Assembly at Albany on Jan. 1, Harlem will have full representation by Negroes in that legislative body for the first time in history. This occasion will also mark the reentry of Negro legislators to the Empire State Assembly after an absence of five years. Perkins and Rivers will be accompanied by a Harlem delegation headed by Pope B. Billups, former assemblyman. With an emergency rent law at the fore, three measures will probably occupy the attention of the Harlem assemblymen. Rivers and Perkins have declared their intention of introducing a bill to provide protection for tenants against unfair increases of their rentals. The Appomattox Republican Club, 315 West 136th street, has decided to send its executive staff, headed by Hamilton J. Travis, to interview the governor and floor leaders of the Senate and Assembly in behalf of such legislation. With tenants throughout the city, and particularly in Harlem, complaining of boosts of $20 to $40 monthly, many observers believe the situation has reached a stage of emergency in New York. Protection in the courts is no longer afforded under the municipal rent law, which was declared unconstitutional a few weeks ago. Assemblyman Perkins will have the support of the club's welfare committee, which is headed by Mrs. Jane Crolley. The delegation to Albany will include Charles W. B. Mitchell, leader of the Twenty-first district, cast; Mrs. Hester Green, associate leader, and Mrs. Crolley. It is understood that the two legislators will seek redistricting of Harlem's political units for the purpose of giving the section another municipal court and a state senator. These measures were supported during the incumbency of Abraham Grenthal of the Nineteenth district, who quits office next Tuesday. Mr. Perkins has also announced that he will seek aid for persons who are charged usurious rates of interest by loan brokers. This practice is especially detrimental in Harlem, according to Mr. Perkins. This Week's News Index FIRST SECTION.

Haitian Resolution Passes House WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Supporting the original resolution providing for a commission to study and review the policies of the United States in Haiti, Representative Oscar DePrent, Republican, of Illinois, made his maiden speech on the floor of the House last Wednesday. The resolution, which was passed by an overwhelming vote in the House and now goes to the Senate, empowers the President to select a commission of not more than seven members which shall report to him within six months. By an amendment in the House, which was offered by Representative William B. Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama, the commission at the same time will transmit a copy of its report to the Congress.

DePriest Maiden Speech. In the members' gallery while Mr. DePriest spoke here his wife; Mrs. Garnet, C. Kirkman, of the assistant superintendent of public schools in the District of Columbia, and Morris Lewis, secretary to Mr. DePriest. It was the first time in twenty-eight years that a colored person had spoken on the floor of the House. His remarks were applauded from the Republican side of the House. Mr. DePriest said: "I occupy a peculiar position on this particular question. There have been so many contradictory statements on both sides of the Law that close appear to me we should all vote to appoint this commission. "Most members of the House are not familiar with the conditions in Haiti, like myself, and we all want investment from a commission that will make an impartial investigation. "I was very much pleased at the suggestion made by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Fish) when he informed me of the commission should be from the racial group that I am identified with, and I am not surprised to hear other gentlemen object." The Haitian people consist of about two and a half million black people and about 125,000 or 130,000 belong to the educated class, and what the people of America wish is that the great mass of the common people be trained, so that the President can more correctly carry out the program of America in wishing to help them become capable of self-government. "I appreciate also the great work that has been accomplished since we have occupied the country since the year 1945, and the events in every respect, and I am very glad to see the gentlemen on the minority side of this House so well represented in the House of the black people in Haiti. I wish to God they were equally solitous about the black people of America. The America would like in some of the states of the world the right of self-determination also. The people of Haiti should have the right of self-determination under the Constitution and under the theory adopted during or about the time of the settlement of his World War, when every group of people in the country would have the right of self-determination. This should apply to Haiti and also to every other class of people that God's sun shines on, and I am the minister of the government on the minority side of the country, vested to the right way of thinking, for once in their lives, because I appreciate the condition of the black Americans, where they are denied the right to vote in almost every state south of the Mazon and Dixon line, and I congratulate the gentlemen for starting in right in Haiti and conceding the people the right of self-determination. We spread to every state in America and that we will all enjoy the same rights and privileges. We should and shall vote for the applause and shall vote for the admission, shall vote against both occasions when offered, for I have the unmerged confidence in the present executive in the White House. (Applause), he is one of the best-quality Prep candidates ever had (applause), and I am perfectly satisfied that he simply wants to give the people of Haiti the best that this administration is capable of giving them and he wants to give them such a commission can bring to him. "I appreciate the benefit of appointing a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti that will affect the lives of all the people of that island, and I know of nothing that will instill more confidence in these black people down there than for at least one that they have one at least in the way that they have them through bonds and ties of blood and kin; and I shall not make any special recommendation as to beegro on the commission should beegro on the commission will see to it in his wise judgment to get some man of outstanding ability, capable and competent, appointing the group I am to represent to America in my credit to America and do justice to both America and Haiti. We have no right to ask for anything more. I shall not, perhaps, take all the time out of outlining out the wishes of the people identified with my racial group all over this country. I have received hundreds of telegrams asking me to assist in the effort to sustain the President in this desire wish to appoint this commission.

Actress Returns to California Doctor LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23. — Helen Lee Worthing, white, former New York stage beauty, and Dr. Eugene Nelson, to whom she has been married for two years, have effected a reconciliation after a brief separation. It was announced by the actress's attorney Thursday. The attorney, Nathan O. Freedman, said that difficulties concerning "another woman" have been smoothed and that Mrs. Worthing has helped her husband's home in Los Angeles. "I love him more than anything else in the world. He is the man for me and the only one I care about," Mrs. Nelson told her lawyer and reporters. "We all have the blood of the chimpanzee in our veins—why should I object to a faint trace of dark blood in my husband? "He is an American gentleman, well educated and cultured, and our interests in life are mutual. I mistakenly accused him of paying attention to her women and we had a petty quarrel, but we still will my saint for a few days. That is all to it." Freedman quoted, her as saving. Freedman said that the couple first met when the physician attended Miss Worthing in her Hollywood home after she had been beaten by prowlers. Out of this meeting grew a friendship which later led her to abandon a screen career and marry Dr. Nelson in Tijuana in 1927. The physician, records show, was born in Castleton, S.C., and studied at Texas State College in Prairie View. He later took medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville. Dr. and Mrs. Nelson were reported Saturday as happy in their reconciliation. Indicted in Extortion After Society Scandal Despite the claim that he was once married to Mrs. Sally Seamon Mitchell, white, wife of the wealthy and socially prominent Benjamin Mitchell, of Locust Valley, L. I. Ludwig Strong, 52, former employee of the woman's father, was under indictment today on a charge of extortion. Strong pleaded not guilty last Wednesday after being indicted by the Grand Jury at Mineola the day before. Mrs. Mitchell charges that Strong wrote her letters demanding heropod pain of being exposed to her husband. The former coachman and chaufeur was arrested in the Pennsylvania station after allegedly demanding that $5,000 be brought to him. Strong has produced a document purporting to be a marriage certificate. It is reported that the woman was rescued from a colored man several years ago. TRUCK KILLS WORKER; DRIVER FACES COURT A technical charge of homicide was entered Monday against Lorenco Wilson, 45 West 141st street, in connection with the death of Joseph Nigri, 35, white, 318 East 120th street. Nigri died in a garage at 411 East 120th street. The garage worker was crushed to death by an automobile truck operated by Wilson, who was backing the car into the establishment. Jammed against the wall, Nigri was pronounced dead when carried to the Hospital for Joint Diseases. "I further wish to call the attention of the House to the fact that the President made this request in the House to ask the House to incident that just happened down in Haiti. So he knew conditions were not like he would wish them, and he evidently wanted information out there. So we have there now, so that he could view the thing from the broad standpoint of a humanitarian, and I am satisfied that every member of the House is going to do the greatest good to the greatest number of people in Haiti whether they vote for this resolution or not. From their talk we know that it is going to help the Haitian people and I am going to take it at its face value, and I have confidence that the gentlemen who are talking against the President should have a square deal. "I know our Government is not there to exploit that island Republic, like every other member of this country, who does not sent there for that purpose. They were sent there by a President; who was a member of the minority party now and because he thought conditions warranted occupation. Of course, we have committed some wrongful acts. I do not know; but that was done individually, it was not the purpose or the policy of the American Government at the best is harsh, not only there but every other place in the world."

Not Approved Passes Five Bills Calling for Reorganization of Prison System WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 23. In approving five bills for organization of the Federal prison system and for construction of three new penal institutions, the House Judiciary Committee last Friday eliminated provisions which would have authorized the Attorney General to contract with the States for labor by Federal prisoners. The refusal of the committee came as a result of opposition to the provision by the American Federation of Labor and the storm of protests that followed the transfer of ninety-seven prisoners from the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary to the custody of the Prison Commission of Georgia for road construction work in Chatham county, Ga. Representative George S. Graham, Republican, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, stated, however, that the elimination of the provision which would have authorized the Attorney General to contract with the States for labor by Federal prisoners did not preclude the use of prisoners on public works of the Federal Government, such as labor in national forests or road building on Government land. The bills favorably reported by the House Judiciary Committee provide for a complete reorganization of the Federal penal system, the erection of two new prisons and a hospital for defective delinquents, the creation of a new parole board and the diversification of employment of prisoners.

She paid him the $1 and Fitzgerald then continued to canvass the other tenants in the building. While Fitzgerald was making his house to house canvass, Mrs. Miller told her husband, Charles, a city fireman, of the promise made by the salesman that she would receive a free set of silverware. Becoming suspicious, Mr. Miller telephoned to the office of the magazine. He alleges he was told that Fitzgerald, who had given his name as Clark to Mrs. Miller, was an unauthorized agent, and that the magazine was not distributing any silverware or other articles to subscribers. Policeman Woodson of the West 123d street station was then called in and he arrested Fitzgerald on a charge of petty larceny. The police say he admitted that he had no right to solicit subscriptions, but was in need of funds and was taking a chance.

Re- lations made a special report to the executive committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, in session at the St. James Methodist Episcopal Church in Chicago. The Teport was presented by Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the commission, and gives the results of the preliminary inquiry into the question of membership, communion and attendance of Ne- groes and other non-white groups in churches composed mainly of white communicants. 4 The study undertook to find out the nature of the problem of race re- lations in church membership and to ste whether thorough inquiry inte this question was needed and of what Kind {t should be. Data and opinions were recelved from thirty-six local churches in sixteen localities and twelve states, and opinions were sum- marized from 132 Federal Council as- sociates residing in thirty-three states and the District of Columbia; also, special reports were made from local investigations in three or four cities. This report touched at least ten de- nominations. In answer to the question “Has any general agency of your church made any official statement on membership of Negroes or other non-white racial Broups?” out of a total of thirty-six lenders in ten denominations nineteen sald that thelr denominations had Made no official statement, two said they did not know, two said not to their knowledge, one sald that practice made such a’ statement unnecessary, and twelve gave no replies to the question.

J. ; i J churches answering the questionnaire eighteen had no Negroes, and nine had a few. Those having Negro members reported that all members were treat~ ed alike and apparently getting along well together, with one exception of 8 white girl snubbing a colored girl. ‘The churches where the question was more difficult did not answer it. There were some reports from church leaders in the South, all of which in- dicated that there were a few older Negroes stil! occasionally remaining in church membership, but where this was the case the color line is drawn— the colored people being served in communion and other ways apart. The reneral custom seems to be North and South for white and Negro members to be altogether in separate local churches. In summarizing the report, the Commission pointed out that up to the present the church membership between white and colored groups seemed to show three types: 1. A few Negro, Chinese, and Japan- ese, or other non-white persons in churches of predominantly white membership, 2. Separate congregation for race groups in denominations that have Foth white and colored members, a fellowship between the white and non- white churches, and other elected rep- resentatives in district and national bodies. 3. More than ninety per cent of the Negro church members of the United States are in churches that are organ- ized in four distinct denominations on & national scale. Magistrate Sets $50,000 Bail in.

Johnson on Slavery Commission League of Nations Also Announces Its Choice for Member WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. — Dr. Charles S. Johnson, director of the department of social science at Fisk University, Nashville. Tenn., was named Treasurer by the State Department as the American member of an international commission created by the Liberian government to investigate alleged forced labor conditions in that country. The League of Nations announced last week the appointment from its membership of an investigation commission of three persons, one of whom will be a Liberian and another an American. The League's choice is Judge M. S. Meek of Arendal, Norway, who passed the greater portion of its judicial career in the Belgian Congo. Officials of the League point out that the charges originally were made in a book by Raymond L. Buell, an American, who hinted that the Liberian government was forced to report to slave labor in order to meet the terms of loans advanced by powerful American corporations. At the last League Assembly the representative of the Liberian government in the League of Nations Council denied these allegations and appointed the appointment of a commission to general assumption here is that the hands have strong backing from the United States administration. N.J.State Senator Hits Convict Leasing TRENTON, Dec. 23—Senator Alexander Simpson of Hudson, Democratic minority leader, potential candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator next year, has filed a protest against the action of the Federal Government in leasing colored convicts in the Southern States to read contractors. "This is slavery under the lash," said Senator Simpson in requesting Representative Mary T. Norton of Jersey City to protest against the practice. In his letter to her he said, "If your constituents whom you represent, the House of Representatives, I am writing, you protest against the action of the Federal Government as published in the press, in leasing colored inmates of Federal institutions out to road contractors. This is slavery under the lash." "It seems incredible that over fifty years after the end of the civil war, which was fought to demolish human slavery, the Federal Government should be engaged in what is practiced in some same thing, in selling these unfortunate colored race who are held in prisons.

Bogus Policeman Gets Three Months Man Who Wanted to "Look Things Over" Sent to Workhouse John Goodlow, 22, 355 West 145th street, who was arrested on Dec. 15 on a charge of imponating an officer, was sentenced to the workhouse for three months Friday by Magistrate Goodman in Washington Heights Court.

Believe Democratic Leader Was Murdered JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 16. —The theory of suicide in the death of Capt. Noel White, white, Democratic National Committeeman for Mississippi and Chancery Clerk of Holmes county, whose body was found Saturday at the side of the road leading to his plantation, near Lexington, has been practically abandoned today by the authorities investigating his death. Sam Pace, a tenant on the Captain's plantation, who had recently been warned by the owner not to cut timber in a wooded area assigned to another tenant, has been arrested as a suspect. The only evidence directive to the owner, with the crime the fact that bloodshed from the Parchman convict farm took the trail within five feet of Capt. White's body and went direct to the cabin where Peace lived. Sheriff Ellis spilled Pace away immediately after arresting him to prevent mob violence. the ruins of an old slave market, where human beings were kept confined like animals, to be put on the auction block for sale. If the Federal Government continues the infamous practice which I refer to of practically selling the enforced labor of colored people to contractors, especially in that part of the country where this is now done, that is in the Southern States where the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution forced into that document by the bayonets of the North for the protection of the colored people is a dead letter, slavery is back again."

Andrews, special legal assistant, and Frank M. Turner, secretary of the Jamaica, L. I. branch, will confer with T. S. Edwards of Jamaica, whose windows have been smashed, shrubbery about his house torn up, and the family's safety in an effort to drive him from his newly purchased home. The conference is to be held for the purpose of taking steps to assure full protection for Mr. Edwards, his family and his property. The latest threat against Mr. Edwards took the form of a white man's visit and rude entrance into the house, holding up his hand, which had been blackened, before Mrs. Edwards. This white man said he was the owner of thirty houses in the neighborhood and would not permit Negroes to live there. He offered to reimburse to Edwards the amount paid for the house if the family would move out. He said that, if they did not move, their house would be moved, also inquired of Mrs. Edwards as to the time of her husband's return home and the train he traveled on, information which Mrs. Edwards declined to give. During this white man's visit a group of other white people stood on the street. Mr. Edwards has had the broken glass in his smashed windows restored and is now living in the house with his wife, but has not yet brought into it his children by a former marriage. A policeman has been constantly on guard since protection was requested from Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen by the N. A. A. C. Threats have also been made to Mr. Edwards that his first and second mortgages would be called, but of this action Mr. Edwards has no fear, as the first mortgage has two years to run and his second is for five years and is held by the party from whom he bought the house. On a visit to Mr. Edwards, a white man, who called himself Dougherty and is reported to have introduced himself as the district Democratic leader, to have said he came to warn Mr. Edwards that the Klanmen of his neighborhood were up in arms because Mr. Edwards would not permit property to be deprived in value because Negroes moved in. A policeman, who accompanied Dougherty, is reported to have talked with Mr. Edwards after Dougherty's departure, advising Mr. Edwards that, although he had a right to live there, it would be better for him to move cut, since he could never live there in peace. The N. A. A. C. P. will endeavor to obtain affidavits setting forth the threats made and by whom they were uttered. Phone Holmes 8297 Dr. C. A.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT FAILS BEFORE COURT Thomas Porter, 29, 758 St. Nicholas avenue, was discharged for lack of evidence when arraigned on a serious charge last week before Magistrate McQuade in Washington Heights Court. Porter was arrested by Detective Webber of the West 135th street station on complaint of Mary Lingan, 18, 18 West 135th street.

A. Arnold's Activities in Report to Senate WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23.—Operations of J. A. Arnold, 23, of the Southern Tariff Association, who sought to organize the southern Republican Council for the purpose of eliminating the Negro as a political factor, were branded as reprehensible in the fourth partial report of the Judiciary subcommittee investigating lobbying activities, which was made to the Senate by Senator T. H. Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, last Friday. Arnold himself was denounced by Senator Caraway as "utterly without any regard for veracity." Senator Caraway stated that "it did not embarrass him at all to make a statement and then produce a letter showing that the opposite was the truth. He would deny his own signature in order to 'escape from a situation that would not want to disclose the real facts.'" That part of the subcommittee's report dealing with his efforts to organize the Southern Republican Council is as follows: "One of the various organizations which Arnold attempted to effect, but which failed to materialize, was the Southern Republican Council. Its members were so circular prepared by Arnold, was to promote the interest of the Republican party in the South by electing Negroes on the Democratic ticket in the North to equalize the situation, as he expressed it, by blackening the party rather than by attempting to witen the Republican party in the South.

Harlem's newest spiritual temple to point its spire toward the sky is nearing completion at 171 West 140th street. With a minister whose faith in his task refuses to acknowledge defeat, Little Mt. Zion Baptist Church will take its place among the uptown district's edifices dedicated to spiritual uplift at dedication services early in 1930. The construction has continued since January, 1929, despite the failure of the City Trust Company, in whose care its building funds were entrusted, and the bankruptcy of the church's steel and trim contractors. Veritably the congregation built brick by brick when it was forced to dismiss the large staff of workmen and continue with less than six men on the job. The flock of Little Mt. Zion is headed by the Rev. William A. Campbell, 230 West 138th street, whose son, A. A. Campbell, is assistant pastor and student at Union Theological Seminary. Already the minister visioning the purchase of apartments and stores to aid the members in keeping up the church and furthering the commercial development of Harlem. regregation has been worshiping in the building for four weeks under a special permit. The Rev. Mr. Campbell estimates that the church will have cost $155,000 when the finishing touches are applied and the building is furnished. The congregation was able to save several thousand dollars when the two bankrupt contractors' claims were compromised. Struggling ahead paying as it builds, the church will probably have a reserve fund of considerable size when the depositors of the City Trust are paid eventually. The minister of Little Mt. Zion was pastor of Sharon Baptist Church for seven years, beginning in 1811, while the congregation was housed at 103d street and Lexington avenue. The church is 33 feet 6 inches on the front and has a depth of 96 feet. it is built of yellow pressed brick and Indiana limestone in a Gothic design. Maurice Courland, white, 366 Fifth avenue, is the architect and builder. Courland is also the designer of the Mr. M. Armandis, erected by Monarch Lodge of Eas across the street from the church. The completed building will seat 800 of the church's 1,500 members. The main auditorium will be skirted overhead by a balcony which will provide room for nearly 300 persons. Provisions for an imposing pulpit and an ample choir loft have been made. Topping the loft will be the baptistry, or immersion pool, which will be in full view of the entire congregation. A pipe organ will flank one side of the altar. On either side of the choir loft will be two rooms for the choir and the church officers. The pastor's office is located in the front to one side of the entrance. The lower floor will contain an assembly and dining hall floored in clear maple. A kitchen designed to provide meals at the church functions is included. Other features will be a gymnasium, council rooms and quarters for the community and social service department. The steam heating equipment is now installed and in use. The com- "PROSP PROSPERITY "PROSPERITY" By CALVIN J.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam New In my dreams the other night I heard the proprietor of "Prosperity & Company" talking. Last year we lost money by shortsightedness, we stocked heavily with the finest quality merchandise at the lowest possible prices and waited on Providence to bring customers to our store. We lived up to our policy of "Service First." In spite of our tremendous overhead, we kept our prices at "Rock Bottom." Bargains, plenty of them we had, but somehow, in spite of our complete stock of quality merchandise, courteous service, and ridiculously low prices, we did not enjoy the amount of patronage to which we are entitled. We cut salaries (even our own), yet were unable to realize a profit. In the meantime, our competitors seemed to enjoy an abundance of patronage. They bought expensive automobiles, built fine homes, sent their families away on extended vacations, while we stuck to business and looked on with envy. Then one night at a meeting of the business men's league we conversed with "Jones" of "Kramer & Jones" and we drew from him the secret of his success. "BUT THAT WAS LAST YEAR": This year we advertised, adhered to original policy of "Service First," kept prices at "Rock Bottom," and our books now show a substantial profit. Of course, that was only a dream. But what merchant doesn't have his dream of prosperity?—with money to build that home, a vacation and more personal comfort. Perhaps, "Mr. Merchant," you, too, have unpleasant memories of last year. If so, consult any one of the successful merchants near you and you will find that his success is the result of carefully planned advertising.

The congregation was able to save several thousand dollars when the two bankrupt contractors' claims were compromised. Struggling ahead paying it builds, the church will probably have a reserve fund of considerable size when the depositors of the City Trust are paid eventually. The minister of Little Mt. Zion was pastor of Sharon Baptist Church for seven years, beginning in 1811, while the congregation was housed at 103d street and Lexington avenue. Seeing the possibilities of church development in upper Harlem, the Rev. Mr. Campbell resigned and founded Little Mr. Zion in its present location. The congregation moved into a building occupied by a Jewish flock. All Farmers to Share In U. S. Relief Measures WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. - Negro farmers are to be treated on an equality with all other agriculturists in the administration by the Federal Farm Board of the agricultural marketing act, James G. Stone, member of the board, told the Negro farmers' conference at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, recently. Mr. Stone said that Negro educators may render valuable service to the members of their race by supporting the cooperative marketing program and farmers to join local associations affiliated with national sales agencies having the endorsement of the board.

H.U. EM. LOVE MINT NO COVER CHARGE S.E. THANK TO GEORG JONES WILLIAM C CHASE The Feminist Viewpoint FEW days ago many of us thought Christmas of 1929 would be a snowless one. Some of the old New Yorkers resorted to their time-worn stories of "Christmas, when I was a child" and "Christmas is not what it used to be," etc. Mr. Weatherman sent his fleecy blanket; now let us have an old-fashioned Christmas. Christmas, like any other season of the year, is what you make it. The spirit of giving, of cheering, of sharing, is in the air. Everybody seems to be happy making others happy. You may have received all the lovely presents you wanted; you may have been financially able to give gifts to all our friends and to the needy; but, according to the law of desire, as weighed against the law of ability to give, you had to omit many persons from your list. Don't be sad over the fact that you couldn't play Santa to everybody. A telephone call, a visit, or even a note on your personal stationery will do much to spread "Merry Christmas" among your many friends. "Merry Christmas" is an old, old phrase, but Christmas comes but once a year and it may as well be a merry one. -T. E. B. National Health Circle To Sponsor Meeting George Gordon Battle, one of the leading attorneys, will be the principal speaker at the meeting to be sponsored by the National Health Circle for Colored People on Jan. 2, 2020, at the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Miss Belle Davis, executive secretary of the circle, has announced also that some of the celebrities to be in attendance are the following: Colonel and Mrs. William J. Shieffellin, the former being chairman of the board of trustees of Hampton Institute; Mrs. Henry Lane Semeltz, also a trustee of Hampton and chairman of the women's committee of the Interracial Commission of Virginia, and Mrs. Henry W. Hodge, who has contributed $50,000 to projects for Negroes in Savannah, Ga., and who has promised to give $2 for every dollar raised by the Negro group in Savannah for a new hospital there. This meeting will be held at the regular hour of the Abyssinian Forum, of which Aaron Smith is president.

Each troop in the district extends the season's greetings to every other troop and to all others interested in Girl Scouts. Christmas Eve saw our Girl Scouts busy assisting Mrs. Mamie Briggs and the Christmas Cheer Committee in the preparation of baskets for distribution. The girls helped last year and were anxious to continue this service. Many individual troops are doing a similar good turn. Troop 140 at Bethel Church is providing a basket for some needy family. Then there are the Christmas parties, some were before and some will be after Christmas. Troop 51 had its last Friday; Troop 91's was on Monday. Troop 155 is having its on next Monday. At Union Baptist Church Troop 190 will celebrate New Year's Eve by having investiture, followed by a party at which scouts of Troop 150 will be guests. No. 190 is new in this section, so we welcome them as one of us. Scouts of Troop 153 at Utopia spent its last meeting before Christmas redecorating its room. Remember Manhattan's "Big Scout Party" scheduled for Monday, Dec. 20, at the Heckscher Building, 104th Street and Fifth avenue. Each of the troops should drop in some time between 2:30 and 10 o'clock. DIAL NUMBERS SOUND THROUGH NEW DEVICE Telephone engineers recently witnessed the demonstration of a device developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories which automatically speaks the numbers and central office designation selected through the dialing operation on a dial telephone. The instrument is designed to simplify and speed the hooking together of automatic and manually operated telephone exchanges, enabling the operators on manual switchboards to hear the automatic calls like any other call. It will also make possible the speeding up of long-distance calls from dial telephones through rural exchanges. HOWARD-FREEDMEN'S BILL PASSES HOUSE WASHINGTON, D.

The menu follows: Honey Dew Melons Halibut Turbans with Hollandaise Sauce and French Potato Balls Roast Turkey with Stuffing and Gravy Cranberry Sauce Baked Onions String Beans White Potatoes Colery Red Apple Salad and Cheese Straws Plum Pudding with Foamy Sauce Nuts Raisins Peppermints Coffee The recipe she is using for the halibut turbans includes the following items: A slice of halibut (1½ pounds), 1¼ cup melted butter. 1¼ cup soy sauce 2 teaspoonfuls lemon juice. Pew drops onion juice. 1¼ teaspoonful salt. Household Hints When baking plain cake, double the recipe or frost one portion and save the other to be eaten as cottage pudding with the addition of sauce.

We have shopped and shopped. We put off and put off and had to rush after all. We got our feet wet and we were trampled upon. Of course, we got a certain amount of joy out of it, but we lost a certain amount of rest and quiet. Perhaps the excitement wasn't good for us. At any rate, we are going to make up for lost energy and take it easy during the holidays. I sincerely hope. Don't do over it. Strike out some of the dates on your social calendar. You don't have to attend everything that goes on. There is no sense in going to three dances a day. Avoid heavy and continuous eating. Candies and nuts surely do add pounds and bring out the pimples. Be sensible and avoid extremes and your holidays should bring you happiness that is not marred by ill-health. Let me here wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This means, of course that foods will be found in the box several days later. Remember this: Your left-overs do not have to be an expense to you—there's a way to consume all of them. The secret, though, lies in the way in which you prepare left-overs and the time you serve these "prepared" dishes. For instance, if you have turkey for Christmas dinner, do not serve turkey again the next day. Instead, serve cheese,eggplant, some chips or a steak. Friday will be a time enough for the left-over turkey, and this time it may be served as turkey croquettes or turkey hash. All the rich fruit cake you have does not have to be eaten in a day or so. Fruit cake will keep, if you wrap it well in a cloth or oiled paper. A piece a week or so after Christmas will add a distinctive flavor to your meals far as the dessert is concerned.

Greetings THE column here extends Christmas greetings to all its readers. May your Christmas be a happy one, happy in the true sense of the word. Don't have great expectations and try to make others happy. Be above the petttiness of comparing gift values. It's the feeling that prompts the gift that really counts. Some of the biggest gifts come from those who care the least, and some of the smallest from those who care most. Spread cheer and you'll receive it. Realize the true significance of Christmas and be happy. Forget your troubles and sorrows and the Christmas holidays will be happy ones. You'll find that the Christmas spirit is a catching one. Be filled with it yourself and you'll find that those about you will join in with you. CHAS. SATCHELL MORRISE, JR..

To remove glass stoppers from bottles, take a piece of twine, double it and put it around the neck of the bottle twice. Have someone hold the bottle, then take the ends of twine, one in each hand, and work back and forth until the neck of the bottle becomes warm. The stopper can then be removed.

IT IS about time that we realized that white show business will continue, if not another colored actor sets foot in a white theatre. Granted that is not right, just, fair or equitable to hold all colored actors and the race to blame for the sins, shortcomings, misdemeanors and delinquencies of a few; granted that white actors have been accused of and been guilty of the same sins, shortcomings, misdemeanors and delinquencies, isn't it about time that we realised that white managers will not stand for the same sins and blunders from colored actors that they stand for from the white actors. The indispensable man has yet to be created. Every time a guy has fallen victim to his own conceit and elected to rule the world, Old Man Destiny has linocked him for a row of ash-cans.

These are indubitable facts that prosperity will not permit to percolate to the sensoriums of a few. "Pride goeth before destruction," and a swelled-head before an explosion. If white managers have been powerful enough to put the ban on white stars and actors, and why not colored? Any man who does not have to do that to me" is as swollen with content as an unwise cow that has just stained of horse-chestnut and water. "I do not have a word to say if the disaffection of a solo tumble, when but when or it flops, it's always, "O what a fall was there my hearsers," it is then that you and I like snucked apples from tumbled down like snucked apples from tumbled down stormade. They always try to hit the delicquent act or actor so hard that it will give us all a black eye. Reasoning "A priori" the cause is not a way the effect is disastrous. "Blood thicker than water"; if you don't believe it, buck it! then carry your own head in your hands, we haven't the ability to be too busy nursing our own heads. There seems to be just two major crimes in this country, BLACK and WHITE, and far in the equation. Whenever one of us is so careless, indiscreet, indifferent or so cock-sure as to leave an opening, some of the opposite race are sure to take the helm, wink the jawhake below the belt. We have white friends, where would we be without them, but some of these are too often, where our racial troubles are concerned, to be ignored. (You'll pardon the seeming contradiction of that neutrality statement.) Whenever we are permitted to set foot in white theatre or appear on a white billboard, we are not relenting surveillance. It is then to us not only to act as well and behave as well as the white actors, but in this impatient manner one better if it is possible, behaving. And the paramount reason for the above admonition is that, whoever the colored actor who is doing it, is this impatient doing it for himself but for all of us whether or not he is our officially elected demonstrator. If he fails, we are a group of ten-pins when a ten-siril is made, we all go down in a bunch. An organization's success, no matter how large its membership, is almost entirely dependent upon the sagacity of its leaders. If the engine goes and picks up speed, he must furnish the fuel or the impetus. About all the assistance he can count on to draw a comparison to his own, is the ability to slyly the porter. He is forced to pull the rest of the body along just as an engine pulls the train. Inside or out, he can't expect much of anything but confidence and loyalty would lend great moral support but he can't count on this; he finds himself surrounded by distrust, skepticism, irritation and downward treadness. It is hard to imagine such small support and co-operation from its members when its object is entirely worthy, commendable and benign to do home after joining it, but to go to jot helps not at all. One of our largest theatrical organizations downstairs has been unable to get all members to join one time its insistence together at any one time its insistence. If men like Irvin C. Miller and C. Lackey Roberts can find time to devote the conduct and upbuilding of the Project, an Assn despite the fact that they have a lot of things to which they must attend in their personal business, it is not unreasonable to expect each member of the resolution to give some time to its support and maintenance. If Mr. Shipp can give freely of his time, run about town like an errand-boy and discharge other duties connected with the association, because a reasonable to expect every member to be involved in the association, since each member is benefited in the same portion as the above named officers. We have made a list of the members we need the assistance of the old members and the addition of new members to make the Elevance Mills Theatrical Assn of real LOCAL HOUSES OFFER FINE HOLIDAY BILLS Pictures, Revues, Drama-Playlets Drawing Big Houses Vere Johns on Special Radio Program Xmas Eve Talented Young Stranger Continues to Attract Attention on Sojourn in This Country As has already been stated it is was great pleasure that we of The Amsterdam University readers the achievements of a recent acquisition to our circle of friends viz.

He has even been picked up by his listeners in Jamaica (West Indies) and the radio editor of the station. He has also followed: "The programme by Mr. V. E.

Charity of the Renascence Casino is arranging to transform the handsome ballroom into a fairyland for the annual New Year's Eve reception. The casino management makes a feature of the years affairs at the casino. This year finds the ballroom better and prettier than ever. Tasteful loaves of bread and wine enhance the natural beauty of the place and an entire new lighting scheme, with soft enchanting lights, helps to bring out the fairy-like appearance. In addition to the new lighting scheme, the installation has installed this year two pretty shadow lights which make ideal the new shadow dancing fad. And still another new feature to be found at the ballroom is the amplifier, an exclusive feature among Harlem hallrooms. The amplifier gives continuous dancing from the opening to the close and also permits various instruments to be made audible over the entire house.

BYE-BYE, BLACKBIRD; IT WAS WORTH IT By ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY ON the eleighteenth day, year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine, in the twelfth month, on the eighteenth day, of our holy holiday, thousands of men and women and children stood upon Mount Olympus, and excitement was rife. The people ran hither and thither, and well up in the crowd demanding stature and stentorian grace, as if some great disaster was about to be visited upon them. Suddenly from the crowd stepped a man in a commanding stature and stentorian grace, "Wherefore dost thou, my people, run hither and yon with the fear of the gods in your eyes and the tremor of the damned in "Oh, Lucullus," answered a warrior, dressed in the armor of ancient Rome, "the prophecy of the gods of Africa in ancient times that which was said in ancient times that when from among his fellows tread the road where only tools would walk and angels fear to step upon, he would seek to be accursed, and would for ever be accursed upon him." that road which even our forebears knew is the road of journalists oblivion." "Tea, good Lucullus," answered the soldier, "in the darkest hour before the dawn the earth trembled, the trees shook and trembled as if in travaill, and no bree cooled our heated brows. Thou slept the sleep of the just and knew not of the signs. When the sun hath risen on Men distant horizon we saw the approach of the figure on the lonesome road of Mount Olympus and we knew not what to do." "Begone, knave, and wake from his sleep good Romulus, Dean of Scribes, our prophet who speaketh only when I command. He will tell us if these be the signs and if that man you saw in the early dawn come seeking our pity or to damn our tribe with his presence." The courier ran to a tent on the mountainslide and shouted: "Romulus, Romulus, hearken unto my voice, which speaks for Lucullus, Lord of our Tribes and leader of our soldiers. Thou art to appear and speak with the vision of the ancient Sons of Africa and tell us whence comes yender figure on the journalistic road of oblivion." In a moment Romulus stood before the counter. He wore an armor of beaten brass and his commanding figure covered over the soldier, who stood with his armor before him. In his right hand he carried a pouch of purest sold and in his left a shield of fully beaten bronze, while around his brow was a band of even pueral metal, the secret of which all civilized men have been trying to find for ages. *Lead on, soldier, and I shall speak to Lactullus and the people of our tribe.* The New York Amsterdam News Dancing Johnnie Nitz is back at the Piccadilly Hotel in the Louis IV Restaurant Ravene Room. Johnnie is quite proud of this place, the hotel, and is featured with the great internationally known dancers, Fowler and Tamarra. Leslie Hutchinson, having just finished his engagement with the Cochinah "Wake Up and Dream" orchestra, leaves this week for Birkhead, where he will start a brief variety tour. Touring with the "Lets Fall in Love," on Parlophone and Gramophone, is indeed clever. Sam Woolding and his fine band are a big success at the well-known Emerson studio on the beautiful Champ Elkridge. Three American colored acts are again holding their own this week in the West End. The three Eddies are making a comeback, while Jimmy Ferguson is making another successful visit at Collien, Ilington. Jimmy's act is, at a decided moment, playing at the Tivoli Hull, next week in London for the holidays. His next appearance will be at the Holborn Empire. Miss Ethel Waters made her first appearance in London before she made Paladium. She won her audience as she came on the stage, and although the orchestra greatly handcapped her, she finished her first show mid afternoon as a really clever artist. She sang as a really clever artist. She sang "Am I Blue" in a most wonderful way, and with her personal appearance in the featured at the Tivoli Cinema in the taile, "On With the Show," she is fast becoming popular in London. Miss Waters is the first colored girl to be featured at the Tivoli Cinema of years, and all the daily papers have spoken nicely of her. She plays the exclusive Cafe de Paris next week, and offered a number of variety and coffered dates before she returns to Paris. There was an all-colored variety bill last week at the famous old Collins, headed by Jimmie Ferguson and Carpenter and Hatch. On the bill on the cover was a portrait of Jackson and Blake, Edwin and Lavina, Kaufman, Toni and Dinah, and the Southern Serenaders. Each act achieved a well merited applause. The most outstanding hits were Ferguson, Hatch and Carpenter and Jackson and Blake. The rest were the same, with a bang and would do the same and provide a novelty anywhere. The many friends of the well-known and popular Mrs. Jennie Haston will indeed regret her leaving London after living here so long, it is with much regret that Mrs. Haston is leaving. She will also be greatly missed by everyone that knows her. I hardly think that she will be missed better known, liked and respected than Mrs. Haston. For years she has traveled all over Europe and until recently the Haston home in London was wonners for many Americans coming to this country. Mrs. Haston sailed on the S. E. Berengaria, Wednesday, from Southampton and arriving in New York next month. Mrs. Haston, band, Gus Haston, who has made his home in New York for the past two years. We are all wishing the popular theme to be happy but voyage and trust in her. We are America on our return home next year. for it hath been written that I speak only with the wisdom of the ages and the vision of my forebears." Saying which, Romulus and the counter returned to the tribe and when the Deam recalled the story, before Lucullus the Lord of Mount Olympus "Tell me, Romulus, why art the people of my tribe in dismay this day" "Good Lucullus," said Romulus, bowling low, "thy people bath good reason for the fear which they show, for on yonder road approacheth a man who hath been driven from among his fellows, but he comes seeking only pity, as he hath been spent with wasted efforts which would this day serve him well hath he not been misled by the Siren of the Tropes. His name is Balanus Wilfredus, who posed as a scribe among the tribe known as Jigwalks, but it was discovered he could not write upon the parchment without stealing the thoughts of other men. He was driven away in disgrace and must perforce walk upon the road of journalistic oblivion. He must have our pity. We must succe him and send him away, for he is doomed to be a shyster. Hark! He approachest. List! He sings. It is his awan song, but he thinks it is his valedictory. See! Shame is written upon his brow and he would fool us with a cackling laugh which sounds like the bray of an ass and thinking brass. He is accursed, for the gods hath made him mad and would destroy him. Pity, pity, good Lucullus. He is bleeding from many wounds. Noble Johns of the town of Vere in Jamaleus hath almost dispatched him with one thrust of his trusty sword." "Oh, good Lucillus, it is written in the stars that no harm will be visited give bread and meat to him who walks and give nautical oblivion. Give him bread, goats meat and wine and send him on his way and thy tribe can refoil until the rising of another sun. He is mortally wounded and he will be a living death." So saying, Romulus the prophet salamed and departed. Bajusus Wilfredus was met on the mountain top by a number of soldiers and given bread, goats meat, milk from corn and wine, all of which he devoured ravenously, as his journey was trying and tiresome. After he had departed, through our prophet, strasser, it hath been known to me know that thou art Bajusus Wilfredus, a fake scribe. Tell us the story before the settling sun, as thou must be and may not and not contaminate us with thy prophet. We gave you and you did eat. We have done our share by thee."

I was doing fairly well until I met the Siren of the Tropics, who made me serve her. Verily, who made me serve her, I staphed from the Goddess, Art in which she sought to sway the populace with raucous voice and violent gestures. I lied and praised her to the people, who knowing not, would have applauded me. I said: "So—o—o—o; and thus would thou serve thy people." A voice that sounds like tin pins in the alley of the Laughing, yet thou liken unto a catechism, warring plying the sword in war thou liken unto ART; a form like yon old apple tree thou liken unto that of Venus. Not satisfied, thou stolls matter fromement. I will drive thou from among men upon the road of journalistic collylation. "What could I do? Wherever I went I was pointed out as the fake scribe. The ladder of the ensemble would sing Lily's song. I peared. Another day I met the Siren of the Tropics and she gave me a ruthy drink. I tried to fight the scribe who discovered me, but unnumerically. My strength almost gone, another scribe plunged his sword into me with disquiet and I ran. I did not stop. I followed on my way. Tried and hungry, with darkness enveloping the earth, I laid down in a lonely spot and slept, but for a few minutes I continued to me. I continued my journey in the early morn, and when the sun rose I found myself upon the road which I discovered to be a journalistic oblivion. Woo is me." "Balmus," said Loneliness, "darkness approacheth and we go to light our fires as we must dance in celebration of our deliverance from such as thee. That did he to drive thee out, and that thee walked thee before us, a salicite obliquity unjust my tribe would suffer. Look!" On yonder island, far from Mount Olympus, thou art doomed to live in exile. Thus Seelsonen will live in thee, for he is buried beneath beathen bones on the plains ages ago. Begone! In deepest Balmus Wilfredus started for the lonely island, family muttering; On solitude, where are the charms: That sages have seen in thy face?

Whatever Clara Smith goes there is joy and laughter. She is famous for her overlowing good nature, as well as her gift as a singer, and surrounding friends. By contrast, the drama will be of a serious kind—"The Line-Up," said to be one of the best of police plays.

Talkies at the Odeon The Odeon Theatre is the latest of Harlem's motion picture theatres to be equipped for talking pictures. By the end of the season, the beat-talk picture theatres in Harlem, for the expensive and complicated apparatus which has just been installed in theaters, will have the word in talking equipment. For the three days beginning Wednesday (Christmas Day) the Odeon will sing the world's greatest entertainer—Al Jolson. The Odeon's sensation, "Say It With Songs."

Freddie Johnson and Dewey Weiglass collaborated to produce the stage show, which is entitled "Horlem After Dark." Sandy Burns, who has just finished the comedian of LeWis Leaf's "Blackbirds" No. 2 company, is the chief funester of this show, as assisted by funny little Freddie Robinson. The dancing part of "Horlem After Dark" is good as the comedy. A trio of boys new to Harlem—the Three Rhythm Kings—head the group of dancers. The reception which these boys received at the opening performance stage until they were exhausted, responding to encounters. The McCain Sisters, Theresa Mason and an exceptionally attractive choral rendered most of the unusually snappy dances. There were fine teams of white adult dancers. The singing was taken care of by Freddie Johnson, his well-known part-time bassist, and the highest tenor voices on the stage; Katy Brown and Luela Wilia, a newcomer to the Harlem stage, who received a grafting reception at the hands of the cast. All of these elements in the show were put together in a pleasing and masterful manner, with specially written lyrics. The program was a most delightful entertainment. The photoplay portion of the program includes "The Great Gabbo," an all-inclusive ensemble dance, dramatic spectacle, starring Evan von Stroheim and Betty Compson.

RETURNING to America after an absence of nearly three years, I confess that the thing that has struck me most is the general apathy I note among Negroes regarding their own situation. I may be expecting too much, but I have fresh in my mind the actions of minority groups in Europe and the energy and determination with which they go about getting what they feel is theirs. I observed Hindus, Indo-Chinese, Fascists, Royalists, Communists, Laborites, Socialists, and all were enthusiastic. I would that space would permit my describing some of the lively scenes I saw at these meetings. Even as regards the cause of the American Negro, I saw more interest and enthusiasm there than I have seen at any meeting in America, except in the Garvey gatherings here. When Garvey spoke in Paris before the Club du Faubourg, in one of the largest theatres, the place was packed and the discussion was so heated and the general excitement so great that I left with a roaring headache. And there were less than thirty Negroes in that gathering. Again, when Prof. Matthews and William Pickens talk to a group of German youths in Berlin the interest of those white persons exceeded that of any usual gathering of Negroes in America. I happened to be one of the speakers myself and at the close I was begged by those wanting to know more and those who wanted to have me make addresses. One professor invited me to come to speak at the University of Berlin; another insisted on my coming to address his school of young ladies the next day. I went there and was questioned so much that I was questioned and Mr. Pickens, I am sure they had similar experiences. These are but two of the many instances of the great interest I saw manifested regarding the American Negro in Europe. Is it any wonder then that one feels stale and flat when he returns to America? A stranger might reply that the Negro in America shows little "They Killed Poor Liza" By Joseph C. Manning HOW something impressed itself on my mind when I was a nine- or ten-year-old boy to be recalled and made clear twenty-five years afterward is here worth relating. George Ed, a Negro, was an expert ditcher and a banjo picker. The scene of his activity, about fifty years ago, was in and around Ashland, in Alabama, and I came to know and to get in close contact with George Ed because he then ditched bottom land belonging to my father. Saturday afternoons, in the village of Ashland, the ditcher became banjo picker to the free entertainment of men and boys taking the afternoon off. George Ed sang one composition of his own song. It was a song of moan and wall that I did not then command. In fact, when George Ed would turn loose his volume of sound on "Debney and Shar," They killed Poor Liza," it was hard for me to get the idea or to grasp the background. George Ed put his soul in it and afterward, those many years following, I learned why. and peonage prosecutions had set the South in turmoil. It will be recalled that declarations and charges and newspaper articles in the northern papers, sent from Alabama by his writer, are what influenced by Turmoll and caused Alabama papers to say I should not be permitted to live in the state. I was characterized "as a slanderer and a liar!" Nevertheless, there were some of the best people finally convicted and sentenced for peonage. The spirit of George Ed was I had become a man. I had made a public career in Alabama. I had become known pretty well the country over. In a hotel lobby in Birmingham, in a conversation going on between a group of men met near me, there was mention of the name Dabney and Shay, a character from the movie and dug the tunnels for the Central Bank of Georgia Railroad between Birmingham and Opelka, Ala. An interesting story I then got from an acquaintance who was in that group. "Why," he said, "one of those men was Dabney." These contractors advertised for and otherwise drummed up Negro labor. At the scene of the tunnel building stockades, not in the mere camps were built. Once in the company employ," always. There was no guards, Overseers, or rather bossed recalcitrant Negroes men or killed recalcitrant Negroes men or they were buried in the dump. The women were along for cooks and service help to the boss entourage. I heard the story, my mind flashed back to my boyhood days and I could picture George Ed seated on an empty drygoods box, near my father's store in Ashland, singing about how Dabney and Shay had killed "Poor Liza." I could easily then see George Ed digging and throaving away in the tunnels, one after the other, until his liberty came through their complexion; and I could understand that, no doubt, Liza was his sweetheart and she killed her because he wanted her, she had resisted. No wonder that a man, a groan, undertaken in a tune, a to the thumping of banjo strings! To May I say that George Ed was to my boy-mind a sort of hero; he was an outstanding character and had a personality, even though not of culture. I became his friend. The story of Dabney and Shay, their contractor activity, did not set well with me. My boyhood friend, George Ed, had supplied enough to impress my mind and to prepare it for what was to come years afterward. This had much do in influencing me to strike out against what I was hearing and learn as I went along of contract laws and labor court sentences and labor camps. and 1983, there are those small, private exposures curiosity about himself because he already knows all. But it is just a matter of time. You have nine per cent of even the educated ones know very little about the ```markdown ``` - J. A. Rogers - history or the doings of their own group. The truth is they are so hypnotized by "whiteness" that they can see little or no worth in their own. No Negro in America has ever been of any importance until he has been given the o. k. of the whites. How very much like the days of slavery when the poor slave who wanted any favor was compelled to take the cue from his master. How apply the censures of Frederick Douglass and Blyden fit the situation today. But here is this indisputable fact: The individual or the group who would progress must begin by taking interest, a keen interest, in himself. Everyone, himself, the center of the universe; to advance he must begin with himself, learning first the history of his own group and then that of others. One hears a lot about the tremendous progress of the Negro. I have rarely heard a white speaker to a Negro audience who did not stress this. But this is only relatively true and largely a bit of flattery. The Negro is living in the richest land on earth. He is at least three times better off than the German, or Frenchman, or English- I itself on my mind when I was toy to be recalled and made clear ward is here worth relating. expert ditcher and a banjo picker. but fifty years ago, was in and I came to know and to get Ed because he then ditched botter. and peonage prosecutions had set the South in turmoil.

The spirit of George Ed was marching on from where he had gone to join "poor Liza." My boyfriend contact with George Ed had undoubtedly been a factor in influencing, in inspiring, in encouraging me on my memory of George Ed and his song. Florida Grand Jury Whitewashes Abuse Fails to Find Peonage Prevalent Among Turpentine Workers WSAHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Federal officials in Florida have reported to the Department of Justice that a Pensacola Grand Jury has returned no indictments for alleged violation of the Federal peonage statutes in the Florida turpentine forests. The investigation followed alleged abuse of Florida State law by colored workers in debt to the commissaries of the big turpentine camps frequently have been sentenced to six months on the chain gang when they left their jobs without settling their debts. Conditions in the turpentine camps were exposed in the Post Dispatch of Nov. 24 by Orland Kay Armstrong, former professor in the School of Journalism of Florida University. Armstrong turned his findings over to F. O. Cox, special agent of the Department of Justice Bureau of Investigations, who made his own inquiry and recommended prosecution of the alleged violators of the Federal statutes. Cox and Fred Cubberly, Federal District Attorney for the Northern District of Florida, presented the evidence to the Federal Grand Jury. After listings to testimony for two days from men who错了 the turpentine camps, the jurors declined to return a true bill against two white men who, the Federal investigators believed, had profited by the State law. Attempts to obtain indictment will be continued before another Grand Jury. Bu J. A. ROGERS man of even the middle class. Under these conditions he could not help acquiring some wealth. The dog who lives in a well-fed household can't help getting fat, if but from the droppings from the table. And the Negro so far has been getting fat mostly from the droppings. Time and again one reads of some poor immigrant coming to America and earning in thirty years or less more wealth than the total fortune of our thousand wealthiest Negroes. And yet the Negro is on the spot. He is wearing the handicap of color, but the yet greater handicap is the feeling that he as a Negro "must stay in his place." The white immigrant also has his blind of woes, but if he is ambitions he does not stay in the place to which the native-born has assigned him. Our great fault as a group is timidity. And yet nearly all of our leaders keep on preaching conservatism, which is equivalent to saying: "Now be a good little doggie or the master will chase you and you won't get those crumbs." Yet the whole world respects the bold, outspoken, manly individual who goes after what he wants as if he meant it. And to do this effectively he needs developed brains. Much is expected from those to whom much is given and when I think of the handlecaps of the average Negro I, for one, do think that the Negro has made so much progress. Many reasons could be given, but I must limit myself to two of the most important. The first is the Negro press. Now, the written word is perhaps the dominating force in civilized society. It propagates ideas, and ideas rule the man. The first move of any party, who wishes to get in power or to remain in, is to seek control of the press. Mussolini, in order to dominate in Italy, muzzled the press. The first move of any European minority is to try to create a press. Here, now, is an oppressed group of 12,000,000 or more and yet the total weekly circulation of Negro newspapers in America does not even make half of it. It is the much. That is less than half the circulation of the leading New York tabloid. This fact, when told abroad, creates vast astonishment. Indeed, says the European, these people are not interested in themselves. I fancy I hear some saying: But, there is nothing in the Negro news- The Road A Brief Biography of ident of the Supreme Insurance That the road to success is filled with many disappointments the biography of Harry H. Pace Life Insurance Company. A Brief Biography of Harry H. Pace, President of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company That the road to success is not strenued with roses but is filled with many disappointments and pitfalls may be shown by the biography of Harry H. Pace, president of Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company. Mr. Pace was graduated from college in Atlanta at the age of 19. Instead of embarking upon a professional career, as did so many others of that time, he was encouraged to enter business. This did he. Mr. Pace once encountered a part of his current income to take the new position, which paid but $150 monthly. Seven years later, when his salary had increased to $6,000 yearly, he left the company, because he disagreed with the investment policies of the founder. As a result of the administration policies which Mr. Pace opposed, the company crashed five years later. presented itself. Heman Perry, founder of Standard Life Insurance Company, sought his services in connection with the company's expanding program. Mr. Pace once owned a shop owned by three prominent Atlantans, Mr. Driskoll, an insurance operator; Bishop Holsey of the A. M. E. Church, and Mr. Matthews, teacher in the Atlanta schools. In a short while he won promotion as foreman and manager of the shop, but business did not grow and the shop was finally sold. At the age of 21 the youthful business man was invited to join Dr. W, E. D. DuBois and Mr. Simms and operate a new printing establishment in Memphis. Here, as business manager of the Moon, a weekly magazine, predecessor of the present Crisis, he worked for one year, but the publication and its owners were ahead of their time and it was finally forced to suspend. With two unsuccessful business ventures behind him, Mr. Pace accepted a position at Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo., where he taught Greek and Latin. He left there one year later to accept the cashiership of the Memphis Solvent and Savings Bank. This change involved a sacrifice in salary of $60 per week. He was chosen by Pace's chosen field and he saw in this young bank an opportunity for the development of his already keen business sense. The preceding cashier of the bank had absconded and left the bank in a very uncertain condition. In seven years, under Mr. Pace's direction and the confidence inspired by his aggressive policies, the assets of the bank grew from $42,000 in this period to $16,000 in this period his earnings increased from their very small beginning to $225 monthly.

For three years I was able to keep more informed about the doings of Negro America than a good many on this side, and I got my information from the Negro press. And that is not to say that there is no vast room for improvement in Negro journalism, but the reason why many say that they see nothing in the Negro newspaper is because they are so hypnotized by "whiteness" that the affairs of their own people can be of no importance to them. Atty. Norris of Philadelphia recently pointed out an important fact. He said that the greatest factor in the destruction of Negro consciousness, the greatest factor in helping to make the Negro despise himself—had been the white press. Also, that the greatest factor in helping to rebuild self-respect had been the Negro press. From what other source can Negroes learn about themselves; from what other source will they get that self-knowledge which we are told is the beginning of wisdom but their own press? It is true that several white newspapers in parts of the country are carrying a weekly account of Negro doings, but they did not do that until the Negro press led the way and showed them this possibility of increasing their circulation. The second and next most important factor pointing to the lack of real progress is the present state of Negro literature. At present all or nearly all of our literature is first censored by white editors to suit the tastes and prejudices of white audiences; or by Negroes who are supported largely by white patrons. He who sits at another's table cannot speak his mind to his host. Space will not permit my going into details, but here is an instance that vividly illustrates the backward state of respect for the Negro group in literature. A Negro writer who has had considerable success called the Negro all manner of names in his books. In one of them he did the same for the Jew, but the publishers promptly made him cut out every bad name called them, saying that they would never stand for it. In the United States are outnumbered two to one by the Negroes. Plenty of objections may be made, saying that the Jews are rich, and so on, but the real cause is that most of us are too dead when it comes to the assertion of manhood and respect. to Success Harry H. Pace, Pres- reme Liberty Life the Company is not strewn with roses but is its and pitfalls may be shown by ce, president of Supreme Liberty presented itself. Heman Perry, founder of Standard Life Insurance Company, sought his services in con- nection with the company's expand- ing program. Mr. Pace once more sacrificed a part of his current in- come to take the new position, which paid but $150 monthly. Seven years later, when his salary had increased to $6,000 yearly, he left the company, because he disagreed with the investment policies of the founder. As a result of the administration policies which Mr. Pace opposed, the company crashed five years later. A new chapter in Negro business was opened when Mr. Pace, having left Standard Life, went to New York and began business with W. C. Handy as publishers of sheet music. Sales of the first year exceeded $100,000. The demand for Negro music grew. He, therefore, organized the Black Swan Phonograph Company and gave a market to the music of aspiring artists of the race. It was this company which gave the world Ethel Waters, Fletcher Henderson, David Heyman, Harry Grey, Fredie Washington, and William Still, and opened the doors to countless others on the stage and in the music world by breaking down the opposition to Negro singers. Then came the radio. To protect the company's interest, the Black Swan Phonograph Company was sold and Mr. Pace reentered the insurance field. Leaving the Supreme Life Insurance Company, of which he was chairman of the board of directors, he organized the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of New Jersey in 1928 in order to establish in the east tuition controlled by Negroes, such as existed in the South and West. He was elected president of the National Negro Insurance Association in 1928 and soon became known as an authority on Negro insurance statistics. and WOMEN EUROSCOPIC AND PHYSICAL EX- TREME BLOOD, Nerves, Skin, Nose, Throat, Kidneys, Bladder; the Chronicle and WOMEN When necessary, injections are atory Tests of the examined today; Consultation, Advice and Examination FREE 6 P.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 23. — The more one looks into the progress of manufacturing and business in general in these United States, the more one is impressed with the possibilities of the Negro upon sheer proof provided by existing business concerns that, when disclosed as Negro owned and operated, are found to have years of success behind them. PITTSBURGH, Dec. 23. — progress of manufacturing and United States, the more one is in of the Negro upon sheer proof procerns that, when disclosed as No found to have years of success behu The latest such disclosure came to light to the writer recently when an invitation to visit the Brown Gas Log Plant in Pitksburgh was made. That was at the expense of a delay in departing from the city and despite incessant rain, which made the whole proposal somewhat uninviting as a Sunday's entertainment. Let it be confessed, however, that this story is prompted as an atonement for the almost dereliction, for the trip to the South Side of the big Steel City provided a remarkable awakening. Doubtless readers are familiar with the artificial logs with which the homes of many people are equipped. I mean those that look as natural as cordwood itself, but which are in reality mechanically contrived clay effects artistically made to appear like the real thing. Perhaps five hundred thousand of these go into the finer homes of the country, and just about thirty per cent of these are the product of a quartette of Negro brothers who, for the past fourteen years, have conducted their own factory at Oak station, a South Side Pittsburgh suburb. Prior to engaging in business for Through his effort and that of his present associates, the merging of Supreme Life of Ohio, Northeastern Life of New Jersey and Liberty Life of Illinois was accomplished. Today Mr. Pace enjoys the distinction of being president of the fourth largest Negro insurance company in America and the first great enterprise brought into being by consolidation. LOOK!

The family home had a barn that was of little use after cows were banished from the city limits, and in this frame structure, 35 by 48 feet, built a small雕乳 furniture and began business, with a sister, Emma Bown, doing the artistic painting that completed the reproduction of Pennsylvania black oak, silver birch or plum wood, as a customer's taste might demand. A few weeks since, these boys have opened a new brick factory, two stories in height, that is 70 by 150 feet, facing a boulevard, and which involved a cost of $43,000. It is provided with a furnace that will enable the firing of a carlod of moulds at one time, enabling them to bake for one week at a temperature of 2,500 degrees Faherenheit, with a drier that accommodates 600 logs and in which five days are required to complete the process; an immense log fireplace challenges the attention of the passing autolists as an advertisement.

St. Mark's Pastor Asserts-Early Services Feature Exercises Today Christmastide, holiest of holidays in the Christian church, with the possible exception of Easter, descended upon the city Sunday as ministers in Harlem and other sections of the metropolis voiced the old story of the Christ child and the message of peace he brought nearly 2,000 years ago.

WMC institution Orchestral broadcast Worldwide Broadcast American radio listeners Christmas Day will hear programs from studios in England, Holland and Germany and the listeners of Europe will hear American radio programs from the Broadcasting Company for inauguration of international exchange of programs are successfully carried through. On control atmospheric condition beyond ground stations, the radio radio engineering can interfere in what is said to be the most novel series of broadcasts ever planned, NBC executives declared. Ms Eva Taylor, wife of Clarence Williams, prominent music publisher, will broadcast this morning between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock. The Utton Jubilee Singers, probably the best of the English radio activity, will also broadcast at 12 o'clock in the program relayed especially to Holland. Miss Taylor will broadcast again tomorrow to the German stations, which will go on the air from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Installing Christmas Radio To the old and experienced listener this advice will seem unnecessary. However, there will be many persons receiving radio sets for Christmas to whom it will be very useful. Such persons are often called aerial, where to attach the ground, method of operation, etc., frequently huffle the new owner of a receiving set. Development during the last few years of the all-electric receiver, with its greatly simplified capacity and selectivity, has greatly simplified the new set. Of course, in most cases, when a new set is purchased from a reliable dealer, it is usually delivered and installed. However, there are certain things about the new set the listener should be aware of, in order to the method of operation, in order to obtain the best possible results. Insertion of Vacuum Valves Probably the most important, and that which should be given the greatest care, is the insertion of the earpiece, as the insertion appears simple, confusion of the tubes is taking them in the wrong socket may do considerable damage. The detector tube, and the screen-grid valves, of course, are easily confused because of the diverse types of tubes. The two kinds of tubes were confused, however, while no damage would result, the set would not function properly. It is also possible to confuse the reel-circuit one of the amplifier tubes, in which case the filament might be burned out. However, in practically all receivers on the market today, the sockets are of the type number of the tube required. A number is on the base of the tube. If these numbers are watched carefully, there will be no difficulty, and helpful to the most important and method of operation. This information is usually supplied in the form of an instruction book with the receiver. The modern set has only three controls: a volume control and an on-off switch. "Distance" Control However, with the inception of the new screen-grid radio receiver during the last year, a new control is frequent—so-called "distance" and "local" switch. Its purpose is to facilitate the reduction of the volume on the local stations in order to prevent distortion through the radio. The stations should always be set on "local" while listening to stations within approximately fifty miles of the set. This will ensure the highest degree of selectivity on the more nearby located broadcasters. Tuning the new radio receiver is, of course, a simple procedure. However, to locate desired stations without some difficulty, the dial makes tuning difficult to the new listener. Modern receiver dials are usually calibrated in either kilocycles or wave length. However, the former on the latest type is more or less standard on the latest type. The helpful in that it literally stops the stations on the dial. Programs published in the newspapers usually give the station, its wave length and frequency in kilocycles. The frequency of the station and, by comparison, enables the listener to locate the station without difficulty. It will be noticed that the lower kilocycle can be found at the maximum dial settings. Erection of an efficient aerial is important to the successful operation of the receiver. Because of the extreme sensitivity and selectivity of the modern dials, it is required. In general, aerials are classified into three groups, namely, indoor, outdoor and loop antenna. A. F. OF L.

West Indian Christmas Much Merrier Than in America, Business Men State Trinidad Celebration of Nativity Reaches Humblest and Lasts Longer Time—Jesters Parade in Bahama Carnival "Christmas? You do not know what Christmas is in America," said Dr. Oliver N. La Morell, popular and successful young pharmacist, when questioned by a reporter of The Amsterdam News concerning the celebration of the Christmas in his country. Dr. La Morell is a native of Trinidad, British West Indies, and has been in America for twelve years. He studied for two years at City College and received the degree of Ph. G. from Fordham University in 1925. "There is," said Dr. La Morell, "no comparison between the celebration of Christmas here in New York and Christmas as it is observed in Trinidad. There the whole island is given up to making merry. The activities begin several days before Christmas Day and continue until the New Year. No one works from the highest official to the humbest peasant in the land. "My father raises cocoa on his plantation and during the holidays he could not get a peasant to work for him no matter what price he might offer him. The streets are filled with gay, laughing, dancing groups from early morn until late at night." "Christmas in Nassau, the Bahamas, is celebrated in a manner similar to the celebration of Thanksgiving here in New York City," said Joshua Cockburn, president of the Pauline Realty Corporation, 2104 Seventh avenue, and a native of the The Municipal Civil Service Commission last week set application dates for eight city examinations, among the most popular being Stenographer-Typist, Grade 2.

Lincoln "U" Plans New Dormitory General Education Board Contributes $50,000; School Seeks Balance With an enrollment of over 350 students, the largest in the seventy-five years of the history of the institution, Lincoln University has outgrown its present dormitory facilities and the authorities of the university are making every effort to secure funds for a new college dormitory, so that the building will be ready for occupancy in the fall of next year. Announcement was made by President W. H. Johnson that the General Education Board at a meeting on Nov. 21 had appropriated $50,000 toward a building to cost $150,000. It is hoped that the balance of the money needed can be secured during the winter months, so that ground for the new building can be broken in the spring. The Vall Memorial Library, erected some years ago by Dr. William H. Vall of Newark, one of the senior members of the Board of Trustees, is being fitted with new reading tables because of increased use of the library. Both the stack and reading rooms have become overcrowded, and in view of the fact that the Carnegie Commons has recently donated $25,000 for a library of books, an enlargement of the library building will be urgently needed.

"The people masquerade and parade through the streets. Christmas is carnival time and the populace is given the freedom of the city. Police do not interfere with the good people, but they do not carry their revels to the estates. The New Orleans mardi gras is the only festival in America that can be favorably compared with the observance of Christmas in the Bahamas.

J., Dec. 21.—St. Christopher trailing at the end of the first half 12-4, came through with a rush in the second half to tie up the games, and then forged ahead to win a hectic struggle 21-19 here last week. With Sanders tallying eight points in the first half for the seashore boys and the New Yorkers missing nine straight foul attempts "St. C." looked as if they were in for a lacing. A switch that sent Webb from guard to center and Murphy to guard stopped Sanders, Webb and Corbin tying up Sanders. Dicky Seay took care of Stanfield. Webb and Scott scored quickly from the field. Scott again; then Murphy. Webb tallied a one hand stab with Sanders hanging on. Ward and Ottman had tallied for the locals and the crowd was in an uproar as Seay tricked Jackson for a twin pointer and Corbin registered St. O's first foul toss. Sanders tallied a foul and the shore boys led 17-15. St. C. tied it up as Scott dribbled through the entire shore passers, missed his shot but was fouled, making good both tries. Ward set shore lans in a frenzy as he scored a sleeper, tying it up again, but again the tricky Seay put his team ahead with a twin pointer. With still two minutes to go and Sanders getting the tap St. C. forwards outsmarted the shore guards, taking the ball and with deadly passing, tricky dribbling, and fighting hard in desperate scrimmages stayed of every threatened shore rally. While Webb, Seay, Corbin, Scott, Sanders, Catman and Ward sparkled on offense and defense, Ray Hargrove, former St. C. and Incorporator star and now Secretary of Lighthouse and Secretary of pointed out Scotas as the brilliant history of four minutes' play, his back court play and uncanny eye giving St. C. the edge.

The Union City Reds, one of New Jersey's mightiest quintets, went down to a crushing defeat at the hands of Bob Douglas' wrecking crew last Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino, but the Reds must have treated Bob's boys shabbiably some time or other, for the champions had vengeance written all over their faces when the game started and immediately opened up their guns, believing forth a withering of the game andifications. Ricks started by snipping one of his famous side-lines before the game was 30 seconds old, and mad as the Rens apparently were, they get more so when Adamo of the Reds came to a beauty from long range. From this point on the Reds were counted out. "Pappy" Ricks and "Fat" Jenkins were handling the big siege guns for the Rens, and they raked the enemies' fire and consisted fire of shots that swept them to the rear in a complete rout. The same lightning passes and dazzling floorwork that have characterized their game this year were in evidence, and it proved too much for the Reds to handle, the first half ending 43 to 12. In the second half Bob silenced his butt with a "Butt," and called on Stoicum and Yancey for front line duty. This resulted in a 10-0 victory. Bank, Bank, Bank, for the day. PETRONE LOSES TO KANDY KID PETRONE LOSES TO KANDY KID Dominick Put Up Splendid Fight, but Chocolate Had No Trouble A lot of game fellows have been exposed to public view since the Walker law became effective in this state, but none with more pluck than Dominick Petrote, a young, sheikh-looking son of, Harlem's Little City. Dominick's department and conduct in the ring with Kid Chocolate or Gan Danby, at the Coliseum last Wednesday night proved conclusively that he had more courage than boning talent. There was a waist-lift the chocolate hadn't tagged with his best artiller. There wasn't a single punch in Chocolate's repertory that missed Petrote. Giving Chocolate the decision at the end of their ten-round rump was a mere formality. The Cuban Bon-Bon won from here to China and back again. But the manner in which Petrone lost won for him the praise and admiration of 15,000 fans—a generous turnout—at the second Christmas Fund show. Petrone went into the ring with a smile on his face, and he came out of it with a smile, even though the whole left side of his pan had been swollen, his both eyes cut, and nose and mouth badly lacerated by Chocolate's Big Berthas. He took his defeat philosophically. He was the first to congratulate Chocolate in victory, "I gave my best, but it wasn't good enough," Petrone remarked in his dressing room after the fight. "The better man won." The high light of Petrone's exhibition of gameness came in the ninth round. Chocolate had him hanging on the ropes while banging away with both fists in a steady fire. Petrone soaked up all that Chocolate sent his way. He was too weak himself to act properly. One of Donnickn's seconds, sympathetic and well-meaning, rushed around the rings and begged and asked with the thief. He counted. Out of the corner of his gorpsuttingtering pet Motrena responded sarcastically—that "Chocolate must know how to decorate it" to take a count. The Keed ran out of old-timers marveled at Chocolate's grace and speed and cleverness. They knaked him to the immortal George Dickson. Dickson was accounted a better hitter, but it was agreed that Little Chocolate never broke leads, blocked pucks and counter-swapped any better than he could. Chocolate had to be at his best to beat Petron, and he was. The Harlemites awkward style, his occasion and weaving an eye-second rallies, made the Chocolate to bring all his fastic assets into service. And he had and showed everything. All previous perseverance of the Keed were collapsed by this one. Despite the wide margin by which Chocolate emerged victorious, the team's success means. Petrone pressed his dusky rival every inch of the way; he trailed blow for blow, and more than twice for blow for blow, and exchanges. The Keed realized he had to move over before him early in their cyclonic argument. Petrone's his lips and moody Chocolate to "Commute" fight? during the first minute of the first round. Being in an accommodating mood, the Keed uttered the line. Let go in his best Spanish tongue, and then the fireworks started. Smith to Open New Year Against George Courtney On account of Christmas eve falling on his regular Tuesday night, he decided to take a recess this week at the Broadway Arena. In contemplating running a banner fistic program on New Year's afternoon. The star bout in the making for this occasion will show George Courteau, a champion, in action against Harry Smith, world's colored middleweight champion. The match is practically closed only after a hitch on the Courtney end as to the winner. Mullins, Courtney's manager, believes his man worth the lion's share of the purse. It looks as if Matchmaker him, the sufferer and heed to his demands. FISK IN FIRST FOOTBALL GAME OF THE NEW YEAR to add 13 points to their first half total before the Reds knew the second frame had started, then the champs gave them a break, and if you don't believe that, ask Saitch. The Jerseyites were then able to add a few points to their meagre total, much to the delight of a large bunch of Union City fans, who can cheer their boys and couldn't find anything to cheer about. points respectively, were high scores for the winning side, and Wenning, with 10 points, topped the visitors. In one of the best played games between girls the writer has ever seen, even though the score was City girls by the score of 30 to 26 in the preliminary game. The Harlemites led 19 to 11 at the end of the first half, increased this lead to 28 to 15 during the second half, and then went to sleep after a change in their team. They were in strong on them and brought the count up to 23 before the Gibraltar girls woke up, and brought back their starting line-up. This combination were able to hold the invaders in check until the final whistle. Someone else was not lose as long as a certain bag that came from Pittsburgh in 1913 was in evidence; we saw the bag. Christmas night the Visitation Triangles and another night of thrills. The Brooklynites are acting as if they were the Original Celtics, as the best white Having passed through a commendable season of football, with a representative team that has been the fear and disaster of many reputable aggregations both North and South, having tranquilized the raging lions and wrought vengeance upon the lumbering tigers, the inevitable Fisk presidents will carry on their duty. On the other hand, Houston will be met a team of supposed equal strength, the Lone Star warriors of Prairie View College, an eleven of little mention and well capa- tured, upholding the standard of the West. Confident that their squad is equal to the call, the bulldog mentors, Tubby Johnson and Chief Alken, have resumed their togs after a layoff of three weeks and are drilling their team in the West before after Thanksgiving's left off.

FOOTBALL THE NEW YEAR not been a contest this season that has found him running short of spectacular runs of fifty, to eighty yard backfill in Comer Cox, being fast afoot and taking openings when there are none; he has been a steady, conducive player in Comer Cox. Yost, who is considered the most consistent of pounters among Negro elevers; he also has one of the most consistent of pounters to be seen. Wheedle the spinner, in field general, the several victories have been the results of his master's tricks, a contributor of no little requirement in the secondary defense. On the ends, Robinson, last year's all-American center, is a real wingman, assisting in the secondary in-zones will be well taken care of by Slaughter and Pierce of all-American fame. Wingo and Edwards, while in Zions will be upheld by Ballard and Miller. The marvelous play of these men has been considered from both offensive and defensive standpoints, together with sprint displayed during the game. They catch and throw forward passes, are field goal kickers and punters. They can skirt end, dash off tackle or crash into the air. They are all blockers and tacklers. The guards are defensive players. How to drive through and cut down secondary defense. They are equally efficient on defense. can anticipate opponents' plays and can move to points of attack with dispatch. They are the most experienced encounter in Houston, Texas.

C. The knockout came two minutes and four seconds after the start of the second round. Chocolate opened the bout by throwing his long-range left into Lawson's body. At the start of the second round, the Cuban concentrated his body attack on Lawson's kidney, driving the New Jersey boy to the ropes. A one-two blow to the chin sent Lawson down for the count of ten. Chocolate weighed $128\frac{1}{2}$ and Lawson 133. After the bout Chocolate said he had injured both hands in defeating Dom Petrone at the Coliseum Wednesday night. For that reason the Cupban has cancelled his airplane trip home for the holidays, prefering to go by train and boat. He left Sunday night for Key West.

J., Dec. 23—In three opening skirmish engagements preceding the Christmas holidays, the varsity basketball team of the Bordentown School garnered two victories and recaptured two points. Two fiascas against the rejuvenated Trenton Elks were divided between the two teams, Bordentown winning the first 29-24, and Trenton the second, 31-26. The third team played on the campus at Bordentown against the Dunbar A. C. of Morristown, the outfit representing the colored community center of the North Jersey town. In a game replete with good shooting and two power-play by both teams, the Ironsiders 37-18. The regular season which opens after the holidays includes some attractive games with Lincoln Alpha Phi Alpha, Johnson College, Towson University, Armstrong, Douglass and Howard High Schools, Cheyney Normal School, and several outstanding Y. M. A. and club teams. The loss by graduation of the two "sharpshooters" of last year's crack team, Coaches Granger and Ray have three last year's regulars and a wealth of last year's players, and the loss by Hamilton, Sam Spruiel, in his fourth year as a rival player, is re-elected captain, while Hilleman at center and Doman at guard are showing all of their last years, or both. Biltimore and Blount are four lanky six footers who will make it possible for the Jersey school to maintain its tradition of six foot teams. Chavis is also showing well and should work in the line-up before the season over. --- The regular season opens with a game at Bordentown on Jan. 11, when the Atlantic City "Y" Big Fire and Tigers journey to the school to engage the Wildcat Varsity and the Cubs in a doubleheader. Fast Wilberforce Cagers Down White College Five WILBERFORCE, O., Dec. 22—Shadow-guarding of Wilberforce University's quintet and the uncanny accuracy of Gibbs in locating the basket accounted for Wilberforce, College, white. Thursday night in Beacon Gym. Throughout the first half the close guarding of Wilberforce permitted Cedarville only 12 scoring positions, and the rushing of Gibbs and C. Lucas blocked the shots with Wilberforce guards were covering Cedarville's basket attempts Gibbs and Lucas were dropping shots from every angle. The half ended 22-5. At the second half Coach Graves started the reserves, whereas Graves started the reserves with Cedarville began to break through the reserves' defense and Smith, ranger center, dropped five baskets in rapid succession. Cedarville's whirlwind rally was stemmed by the re-entry of Wilberforce failed to score another point, Wilberforce caged two baskets in the last minute of play. Crisp, freshman from Gary, Ind., was assigned the pivot position and his performance against a center like Dawry, Clark.

SPECIAL! ADDITIONAL SPORTS and THEATRICAL NEWS WILL BE FOUND ON PAGES 14 and 15 OF THIS ISSUE ( BY FRANCIS ). The New York Collegians escaped a defeat last Saturday night at the Alambrahura Ballroom's court by the narrow margin of three points when by a never-say die spurt in the closing chapters of the second half they moused out the strong Wallace Club of Brooklyn to 99. The Wallace Club was a reputation of surprising their opponents, came near spilling the beans for the Collegians and stopping their consecutive run of home victories. The Harlemites jumped off to the lead of the team and held on to it, due to the speed and accurate shooting of the visitors, who playing a fine aggressive game, closed the first half nine points in the lead, by the score of 27 to 18. During this game, the Collegians their game, passing to their opponents, and shooting badly, the only consistent heaver being Steele, who gathered four double deckers; this did not take from the performance of the team who played steadily and brilliantly, and found the basket often. Nat Kawler just can't beat a blackmoor. Frank Cassale tells us in the Standard Union. The cards of Fate are snuck against the blond, stern-looking duke, who lifts his dukes against a dusky warrior. Twice Kawler has traded leather with ebony-hued gladiators on the past, and twice he met his Waterloo, the former. The duke has been unavailable to stave off that jinx. It took "Baby" Joe Gans, fleet-footed chin masseur, about five rounds to drape Kawler across the canvas for a complete knockout at the Nightingale. Sporting Club last night, the Waterloo, Haze Scott, a senegambian serving as a last minute substitute, severely mal-treated Kawler in the same arena exactly a year ago, although that performance was not apparent. Rapped groggy in the third round, Kawler gamely withstood Gans' furious charges in the fourth only to succumb to the effect of a cruel sleep-hardened glander and the fifth assault, if seized from the fifth. Kawler dropped fist on his back, as if fled by a hammer. He turned over on his stomach, rested arm on his right forearm, while Referenzen Dorman chanted the fatal count. This marks the third time in Kawler's career that he has been rapped into the arms of Morpheus. Stansen's teammate made Kawler kiss the rosin dust one night, and Tommy Grogan, the Omaha terror, duplicated the performance. His defense brought about Kawler's downfall, at the hands of, Runners Queried on Mayor Walker Half-Mile The field for the Mayor Walker half-mile, one of the five special races on the Columbus Council K. of C. meet program, which will usher in the 2014 season. At the 23d Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, will be selected from among a dozen of the best middle-distance runners in the East. The games committee last week added the university's medical team, loving well known stars inuring whether they will be available for this annual feature at the "Casey" meet: Phil Edwards, New York University; Askay's year winner, Ray Connell, University of Michigan; Fred Vet, New York University; Sam Martin, Boston A. J.; James Kennedy, Georgetown University; Max Wakely, national junior champion; Fred Bloor, former school captain; Bill, bill's record holder for 1,000 yards; Wm. M. Worden, New York A. C.; Murray Goldfish, Milrose A. C. and Eddie Swenson, New York A. C. The campus Council representative in this event probably be Harry McArdle, runner-up in metropolitan junior half-mile. The six best of those available will be invited to compete. The committee is still awaiting replies from George Simpson, Ohio State University, world's fastest, human, and Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan, national 100 and 220-yard champion. In the second half the Collegians replaced Mills and Steele with Eldredson, and the team held their own for a while, but were not cutting down the big Wallace lead fast enough, so Mills and Steele had to move forward, then things began to happen. Johnny Holt came to life, and started to make good on his shots, both foul and floor, and the team scored five. LIVINGston and Ronney covealed warning that the great drive had started. This pulled the Collegians up on even terms with the 'visitors', after which they moved out to the front. The visitors made a bit of their own to stem the tide, and came within two points of the now leading Collegians, but Holt and Steele again came to the aid of their team with baskets that put the team out of danger with the last few seconds left to play. Holt with 18 points topped all efforts on both teams, but Steele of the Collegians, with six baskets for a total of 12 points, and Epstein for the Walt Disney field pole and three fouls, both played brilliantly. The "Y" Cardinals, playing the East Side Varsity Club, who meas- KAWLER OPES IN FIFTH Gans. He waded in steadily, leaving his chin and body unprotected. Gans took notice of Kawler's weakness as early as the first round, but he held back until he had studied Kawler's every movement. The Negro went to work on Kawler at the start of the third stanza, when it became distinctly apparent that the local boy's finish was near. He smote Kawler about the head and body, mixing his punches well. Just before the bell rang Gans discharged a right that sent Kawler to his corner in a thoroughly groggy condition. Fast. sharp counter-hitting drew claret from Kawler's nose and mouth in the fourth. He tried gamely to reach the colored boy's midsection with his left hooks, but Gans blocked practically every one of his leads, and scored over them with telling effect. A short jolt almost topped Kawler before the close of the round. Aware of Kawler's weakened state, Gans started the fifth and last stanza with a rush and badly shook the local product with his first punch, a short righthander that reached the temple. Gans swamped Kawler with left and rights and then broke through with the right that ended the brawl. The exhibition given by Gans was highly pleasing and strengthened his claim to recognition as one of the greatest players in the country. He looms as a mascot to Jimmy McLarnin. Kawler showed nothing but gameness. His capacity for humor has been seriously lowered by the constant battering he has taken. Carlton Branch Five Conquers Greenpoint A glorious victory was won by the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. Big Five last Saturday night when they decisively defeated the crack Greenpoint quintet in a regular game played in the Brooklyn and Queens Y. M. C. A. League.

The Havana lad announced he is through trying to make the featherweight limit of the pounds after weighing in over the boxing commission for his bout with Pinky Silverberg, whom he defeated last week. "I have patterned my boxing after George Dixon, the original 'Chocolate Drop'," said the Havana lad, "and I don't intend to come to the unfortunate end that the old master, Joe Gans, met trying to be as much glory for me if I win the lightweight title from Mandell and less hardship." Carlton "Y" Notes The Brooklyn and Queens Y. M. C. A. is preparing for the Young Men's Congress which was held last February at the Central Queens branch in Jamaica. Because of the great success of the initial feature, it was thought that the continuance of this feature in the program would do much to interest the young men of Brooklyn and Queens to discuss live topics of the day in which they have a common interest. The program will be based upon cruits from all the branches, has already met to arrange for the congress. Young men interested may see E. B. Weatherless, secretary in charge of the Services and Activities Department. The first of the lobby features to be put up is the Service and Activities Department was held on Wednesday, Dec. 13, at which time the Brooklyn Choral Club entertained in the Men's Social Room. From the enthusiasm and feature shown it would seem that this feature program is going to be very popular. On Friday evening, Dec. 12, the Senior Hi Y Club visited the 135th Street Y. M. C. A. in New York City, where they engaged the Hi Y boys there in pocket climbing very much by the boys, even though they did receive a thorough trimming at the hands of the New York boys. At the Saturday meeting of the Patentee Club, headed by Wilbert Davis, Pratt Art Student, battle work was done. The work of Mr. Davis done this past term was completed, the Jacqueline ginned Dec. 23 at the Columbus Hill Community Center in New York City. Also there will be work in soap sculpture done by Percy DeFrelta, who has for the past six weeks been taking a course in this interesting new medium. Plans are being made for an elaborate Christmas program in the Boys' Department, the general direction of this program will be directed to the Council, headed by Hewlett Rowe.

Brown, Hartwell and Roberts starred for the victors, while Reed, assisted by Goodwin, were the most brilliant for the losers. The Spartans ran up against the Senators and got stumped down, 23-10.

The Spartans, though greatly outweighing the Senators, lacked team play but Barnes, Turner and Peterson displayed a good all-around game. The Flashes stepped on the Cubs, largely through the scoring efforts of Barnes, Turner and Peterson between them. Had the Cubs held these two men in check, there would probably have been a different tale. Harwell kept the losers from a worse defeat by accounting for 14 points. The Mercedes hooked with the Wilson boys and, for the first time this season, scored 34-25 victory. Hayes, T. Wills Bain and T. Aaron were very effective. Brick Wright's boys, the Cyclones, putting new uniforms, really display their teamwork, floor, but it was just a bit short, for the Combines of the Bronx sneaked away, 21-20. This game was a treat here; here teamwork was the dominant factor in the play of both teams. The Juniors were disappointed in their tussle with the Rola A. C. the visiting visitors. Bourne and Easter were the only ones who could see the basket, though the other members played a fine floor game. Scocgnomilion was the only team to ring up 16 of the total points. Berman and Rosenblatt gave him good support. Saturday evening, Dec. 21: Brives wives, Clement Juniors, vangers, Rangers Omegas in Opening Game PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—A new quintet burst into prominence to take rank as fit successors to the now defunct Philadelphia Giants as the Quaker City's best team when the Philadelphia Tribute Big Five administered a severe 43-27 drubbing to the fast Omega outfit last Saturday at Catto Hall before a packed house. The five produced by Otto Briggs, noted baseball star; Joe Rainey, coach at Lincoln University, and Pandy Kirk, coach of the Tribute, was a revelation to local fans, who showed brilliant bursts of speed that set the cash customers into a frenzy. After battling on almost even terms during the early stages, the "News" team defended working and it ceased to be contested, the polished play of both teams prevented the interest from lagging. With three minutes of play remaining the score was 42-19. At this point, theenkins' the Omega star, whizzed three successive goals from mid-court.

PANTHERS TO PANT AGAIN Phi Beta Sigma to Try to Stop Jamaicans on New Year's Day Confident because of the auspicious start they had a few weeks ago when they defeated the Trenton, N. J., Five at Polish Hall, the Southside Panthers of the Jamaica "Y" will still take the court, on New Year's Day to uphold the glory heaped upon them by one of the largest gatherings that ever turned out to an affair of this kind in Jamaica. In Harlem they are saying that the Jamaicans have "gone collegiate," as the team has been known, when them on New Year's afternoon "wrote" represent the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. These "frat" boys have been putting up strong opposition to all opponents on the court, and the game they give the followers of the "Y" team to them now experienced when Trenton went down with colors flying. The game will be staged under the auspices of the South Side Department of M. C. A., which should be to the interior of the building, and are being put forth to supply jamaica with this institution, which is so sadly needed. If for nothing else than the encouragement lent to Dr. T. Roy McCormick, the team in the opening by the "Y," the last game served a splendid purpose when it brought out so many enthusiasts. The New Year's matinee game will take place at the Jamaica Arena, one of the greatest City for such a large Greatest Celtics carried on at this court for many weeks this season, and it is more than likely that, if a large team comes out, it will become the home court for public games of the new "Y" team. Benson Successfully Defends His Title Eddie Benson, of Williamsburgh, successfully defended his heavy-weight championship of the National Guard when he knocked out big Bill Freeman, the former titleholder, in a feature 12-round event at the 106th Infantry Armory Friday night. Benson weighed 184% pounds, Freeman 103%. Benson tore out at the opening bell and struck the body. Freeman shot with right to Benson's head but was short and Eddie quickly countered with a right to Freeman's jaw that dropped the colored giant, as though he had been struck. The referee, Jack Appell, toled the fatal 10, but he might just as well have counted a thousand as far as Freeman was concerned. It was the third time Eddie Benson defended his title in points ended in early kays. He prevailed to stop Tommy Dorr and Billy Wess. son to Meet at the Garden 36 Candidates Answer Coach Taylor's Call LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—The mole- skins and footballs have been placed on the shelves to quietly respose un- til the gridiron call is sounded next September at St. Paul, and in their stead the court outfits are now in use. Coach Hubert Taylor issued his first call Monday for varsity basketball practice at the local institution at Welling and more than thirty-six candidates reported for the indoor sport. "Coach Taylor hasn't any great things to say about his chances in the L. A at present—but he would not be able to press more than about the quintet's ability. He says boys are a trifle small, but with plenty of good hard work they may be able to hold their own. They are the least three of the regulars from last season, and they are making a fine showing, namely Wells, the Episcopal's classy forward and ex-captain; Hughes and Byrd. Taylor will build his team around this season, the student, Butler, Turner, Blunt, Burke, and he are making strong bids to hold down regular positions. Practices are being held daily in preparation for the opening game with Welling on December 19, at Kirby Auditorium, on or at Pauli Campus in Lawrenceville.

Delany Addresses Raleigh Audience Delany Addresses Raleigh Audience RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 22—Hubert T. Delany, Assistant United States Attorney and recent candidate for Congress from the Twenty-first Congressional District, New York, was the main speaker at the final meeting of the Community Chest Welfare Society today. The meeting was held in the city auditorium and was attended by members of both races. Mr. Delany in his speech stated that, while he would not wantonly insult any person in the audience and hoped that none of his remarks would be construed as such, that he himself was afraid of no one and that he was merciless with those who were afraid. He added: "I come here to speak the truth as I know it. If it hurts, I'm sorry." While he stated that he had left North Carolina in the days of his youth because he was unable to get in this state proper educational training in college, he nevertheless said that North Carolina was doing more to foster Negro education than any state in the South. "But," he added, "North Carolina at that is not doing its share. So long as 20 cents per day is spent on each white child and only 11 cents per day on each Negro child we should not feel satisfied with the appropriations the State gives to its Negro schools." He further stated that he felt that Negroes in no State could receive equal educational opportunities so long as a State maintained separate schools for white and Negro children. He said that the way to cure these inequalities in education was to let it be known that the people are dissatisfied, not by merely asking for larger appropriations, but by becoming active citizens and using the ballot as a weapon to back up demands for equal opportunities. "Other people generally give us the things they do not want," he said. "We can only show people that we are earnest in our demands when we become self-respecting citizens who know the value of the franchise and use it to our advantage." He unequivocably protested against segregation, Jim Crowism, etc., but said that we cannot hope to eradicate these conditions in the South unless we begin to depend upon ourselves, begin to build up business enterprises, and become an important factor in the political life of the community. "We must learn that this is a practical world and prepare ourselves to live in it." he said. "We are too busy preparing to die when we ought be preparing to learn how to live." Mr. Delany was well received by his audience. He was introduced by Dr. Benjamin Brawley of Shaw University. Mr. Delany will speak in Danville, Va., Friday.

Christmas—1929 IT IS nineteen hundred and twenty-nine years since the birth of a Baby changed the world. The day that Baby was born the legions of Rome were shaking the world with their heavy tread, worshiping the cruel and vindictive deities whom they had made in their own image. There was but one law in the world—the law of the strongest, and all the ramifications of Roman mythology simmered down to two main gods—Force and Lust. The baby grew. He reached the age of thirty-three. Then they killed Him, killed Him on a cross. But He had changed the world; it was never the same again. Without a single sword, a spear, a fist, without one physical weapon He had made the greatest conquest in all history. For the first time the world learned what a moral force is. For the first time equality entered into human relations. The Roman peasant could not believe that he would be as much honored by Jupiter as a patrician; but the humblest Christian, peasant or slave, could hope for as much from Christ as any king or emperor. By a poetic irony, as the centuries went on, the Rome that had crucified Christ became the head and front of His Church. YULE, the old winter festival of the pagans, was forgotten save in name; its joy and good-will were taken over by Christmas, which celebrated the birth of the world-changing Baby. As Christ was the greatest gift to humanity, Christmas became a season of gifts. In some countries there evolved the figure of a cheerful, benevolent old man called Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, or Kriss Kringle. In France, however, there is no Santa Claus; there is a Baby called Noel. THE FRENCH, as usual, have come closest to the real spirit of Christmas. For Christmas does not mean an old man, however jovial; it means the birth of a Baby. And Christmas is the time when all of us become as babes. THREE HUNDRED and sixty-four days of the year we are disillusioned adults, working, scheming, striving, loving, hating, lying, doubting, fighting, trampling our better impulses lest we become the victims of those who have trampled theirs; we are defensive sinners. Deep in our hearts we want to believe in the natural goodness and benevolence of everybody; but we dare not. At times the law of the world seems to be a compound of sin, injustice, robbery, hypocrisy. WE SEE MEN punishing others for the very sins that they themselves commit. We see them kneeling at altars with the blood of innocents on their hands. We see them sanctifying, even honoring injustice because of the wealth and power behind it, till we begin to fear that such things are beyond human and divine law. We are almost ready to grit our teeth and cast away our higher selves in a bitter resolve to go the same road, to carve out our success and well-being by the only law that the world seems to recognize. THEN CHRISTMAS COMES. The scales of doubt, the crusts of cynicism melt away before the eyes of the Baby. The age of innocence returns; for once our sins are washed away. A day before, we had almost reverted to Rome; now we come back to the Baby. Once more we are children, once more we feel that goodness is the greatest thing in the world, once more in tearful adoration we turn to Bethlehem. Write to Your Congressman MUCH HAS BEEN SAID recently about the evil of lobbying in Washington. Lobbying, in a nutshell, is an attempt to influence legislation. The word was coined because the people who wanted certain laws passed or killed used to hang about the lobbies of the Capitol to intercept and plead with legislators. They are not so crude now. A group wanting certain laws will maintain an office in Washington and pay men, to give all their time to persuading or threatening legislators, who, being human, are more likely to listen to the man at their elbows than to people thousands of miles away. Thus the group that does not maintain a lobby is at a disadvantage. THERE is not so much evil in the practice as some critics would have us believe. The very newspapers who attack lobbying most bitterly would send people to Washington to persuade Congress to kill any bill that might damage those papers' business. Nor is lob- The Haitian Commission CONGRESS will shortly authorize a commission to inquire into a more feasible and effective relationship between America and Haiti than now existing. The essential purpose of the commission is to correct the error of fifteen years ago. According to the canons of reform, investigation should precede intervention. But in this instance we intervened first and propose to investigate afterwards. We are actuated by two controlling bodies.

Whatever is said of it, it is the way to get things done. THE NEGRO, as Congressman DePriest has said, needs a lobby badly, in and out of Washington, to keep an eye on all bills affecting the Negro. Bills might be sneaked through the House which, without mentioning the Negro, might do him a deal of harm. As Congressman DePriest says, it would be well if every Negro would pay a dollar a year to support a staff of men at Washington to watch every bill, of whatever nature, that comes up in the House. IN THE ABSENCE of such an organization there is one thing the Negro can do; he can develop the habit of writing or telegraphing to his Congressman. There are two questions to the front now which call for letters or telegrams to every Congressman. One is the leasing of Federal convicts to the State of Georgia, a cruel practice, which should be abolished at once. THE OTHER is the proposed commission to investigate the American occupation of Haiti. If this is to be a real investigating committee and not a gang of junketing kalsominers it should have one Negro member, or more. Representative Hamilton Fish has already asked the President to appoint one. The Negro constituents of every Congressman should immediately write or telegraph to him, urging him to use all his influence to have Negroes named as members of the Haitian commission.

Lady S st published a book on that hellish institution is far peonage and other forms o THE OLD EVILS of the world die hard. They are like a heap of ashes—you stir them and find fire still lurking among them. Lady Simon of England has just published a book on slavery which proves that that hellish institution is far from dead. She refers, not to peonage and other forms of semi-slavery; she has found actual slavery in four countries. She estimates the number of actual slaves in the world today at from four to six million! IN CHINA, she says, children are sold as domestic slaves, even in Hong Kong, which is British territory, and the number of girl slaves is increasing. In Abyssinia, she writes, there are 2,000,000 slaves, and the economic system of the country is based on slavery. In spite of the denial of the Liberian Government, she asserts that there are between 100,000 and 500,000 slaves in Liberia. She says that the pearl divers of the islands in the Persian Gulf are also slaves, and there are slaves in Arabia. INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENTS seem to be unable to stop slave holding. In China it is so bound up with ancient customs that the British cannot do anything about it, or say they cannot. But no one can doubt that slavery will be stopped effectively if a determined effort is made. America stopped it, Russia stopped it, and so can the other nations, if they will—if they will. Whales and Professors THE WHALE SWALLOWED JONAH, according to the Bible, but Jonah was not the only man he to the Bible, but Jonah was not the only man he swallowed. The same whale has now swallowed Professor Horace Calvin Day of Howard College, in Birmingham, Alabama. Jonah is supposed to have stayed in the whale's body three days; but so far as Howard College is concerned Professor Day will stay there forever. PROFESSOR DAY had said that he did not believe the story about Jonah and the whale, because after a study of whales he had found it impossible for a man to remain alive in a whale's body for three days. He also discounted the story of Noah's Ark, saying that the ark was not big enough to hold all the animals supposed to have been taken aboard. He was then asked to resign. JUST AS PEOPLE THINK the South' is advancing there is a lynching or some such incident as that of Professor Day. This country was founded on the principle of religious liberty—every man was to be allowed to worship God as he saw fit. If this principle means anything a man should have the right not to worship at all, to believe or not to believe, as he sees fit. As it is, religious liberty is as far short of realization as many other American principles. tainly until the A. B. C. powers of south America grow strong enough to call our hand. In the second place, we are bound to safeguard control over the Panama Canal, which means that we must need exercises reserved control over the adjacent islands. Already Cuba, Boroc, and Venezuela have the Virgin Islands have fallen directly under American control. The uncontested sovereignty of England and France over certain of the West Indian islands stands as a potential menace to American control of the Panama Canal, as well as to the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine. However much we may beallow loss of sovereignty by the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and the inevitable, Haiti, Liberia and Abyssinia are the only spots on the surface of the globe over which the black man pretends to exercise sovereignty. In at least two of these instances the tenure mers in Capitol buildings; it isolation, far or near. What's way to get things done.

The Anglo-Saxon race always asserts control over the weaker breeds of men, not by the avowed power of might, but through high and holy pretension. It takes possession of the lands of the darker brethren, in the name of the Lord. All that the forthcoming commission will be able to do is to devise A. B. - Kelly Miller practical constructive programs for the betterment of the Haitian people, while according them as much self-sovereignty as we deem it well for them to exercise. Her ultimate sovereignty, like the chakra of a capital of Afro-America, is much agitated over the complexion of the commission. Many of our politicians can only view public questions from the standpoint of patronage. They regard a place on the commission as an opportunity which the President has to give the race official recognition, or to settle a political debt. The diplomatic service is the last place where politics should enter. The ultimate motive, reason and end in view is to carry out the aim of building a democratic relationship. Neither should the race question, as the politician understands it, be injected. The only question, how can the commission be composed so as to THIS unpretentious book is the autobiography of a man who was born in slavery. Its 171 pages cover the time before the Civil War, during the war, and after. As the author was born in 1852, only eleven years of his life were spent in slavery, but of those years he has a very clear memory. If a colored man had had the time and money to travel through the South for the last twenty or thirty years interviewing ex-slaves he could have gathered a great treasure of old slave lore, the kind of thing that never gets into the histories. Histories recognize only salient events and trends and movements; they pass over the merely human stuff. Thus the characters of history tend to become figures instead of men. A history of slavery will deal with wars, and dates and legislation. It takes an ex-slave to tell you just how it felt to be a slave. Without a word from their masters they knew when Fort Sumter fell. Anyone who contends that the Negroes were happy in slavery should know of the gloom that oppressed them at the news of Sumter's fall and the Confederate victories that followed. Yet the slaves on this plantation had one of the best masters in the South. Southerners assert that they know the Negro, but they never knew him, even in slavery. This book tells how the slaves played dumb and how they could lie to their master. One old Negro made up a Nothing good can be said for slavery itself; but there were slaveholders who treated their slaves like blood relatives, which in many cases they were. The people to whom the author of this book belonged were especially gentle. A Thomas Dane had a slave called Aunt Beck. He had sold two of her children, and one day he sold her last child because he was hard pressed for money. He did not suffer such that he could not bear—he went out and killed himself. This was an extreme case of conscience and benevolence, but such a man deserves recording. The author of this book was born in Charleston; he was a "Sherman Cutloose"—a term applied by Negroes who were free before the war to those who were set free by General Sherman's march through Georgia. He depicts the arrogance of the old South not only toward slaves but toward the poor whites. A Southern gentleman, reminded by an Irish policeman that he was breaking the law by smoking in the Charleston Market, replied: "The law? I am the law, The law was made for poor white men and Negroes." The author describes the great days when the South got its permanent reputation for hospitality, though he does not attempt to account for it. There is no reason why the Southerners should be called naturally more hospitable than Northerners; their hospitality was the result of their fortune situation. Their countless acres of rich land brought them everything with little effort—and that little was made by slaves. If they had had to work for their food like Northerners there would not have been much talk of Southern hospitality. The Negra grapevine is seen here in operation. The slaves could not read newspapers and in their presence the masters talked guardedly, but when war was imminent, every slave on the plantation knew it. SPECIAL ARTICLES BOOK REVIEW A Sherman Cutloose accomplish the objective which the President has in mind? Mr. Hoover is the high priest of efficiency. He believes in good government in the first place and self-government in the second place. He has had wide touch with the darker races and is not deeply impressed with their present capacities. He has been impressed by Anglo-Saxon point of view. This commission will not be hampered by the niceties of the theory of government. A Haitian malcontent would be put in jail for reciting the Declaration of Independence on the street corner. Mr. Hoover's commission will doubtless hold this immortal record in the deep background while formulating a practical procedure. The State Department has usually utilized the service of colored men as diplomatic representatives to a Negro government. Until recently we have had Negro ministers to Haiti and Liberia. But when the government felt that its ends would be better served by white men, the substitution was forth following. At the present moment, under the administration of President Hoover, this government is represented by white agents in both Haiti and Liberia. In this connection it might be said that President Grant sent a mixed commission to Santo Domingo President Tait, who then commissioned to Liberia, of which Ennemt J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, was the Negro representative, and President Harding sent an all black commission to the Virgin Islands. Under all of the delicate circumstances involved in the case, it now seems that the placement of a Negro representative on the Haitian commission would best promote the accomplishment of the great end in view. It would the more easily compose the just sensibilities of the Haitians to see one of their own cline and degree entrusted with high governmental functions. His presence would keep his conferesseversitive to the delicate issues involved, of which they might otherwise be unconscious and unconcerned. The President outspoken, full assent to the findings, if they involved the consultation and consent of both of the racial contingents concerned. I expect to see a Negro placed on the Haitian commission by President Hoover, not from the standpoint of patronage but of patriotism. Without a word from their masters they knew when Fort Sumter fell. Anyone who contends that the Negroes were happy in slavery should know of the gloom that oppressed them at the news of Sumter's fall and the Confederate victories that followed. Yet the slaves on this plantation had one of the best masters in the South. Southerners assert that they know the Negro, but they never knew him, even in slavery. This book tells how the slaves played dumb, and how they could lie to their masters. One old Negro made up a plan to kill the Yankee stranger had tried to kidnap him, and had all the masters in the countryside chasing wildly about after the mythical Yankee. There was a slave named York whose master called him a damned ilar. Before York realized what he was doing he knocked his master down. Then he folded his arms and said: "Shoot me down, sah. Fire, sah. I see ready." The master forbore, and when he learned the truth he shook York's hand and admitted that he had been wrong. In the war Sam Aleckson, a child of ten, wore the Confederate uniform and waited on his master, a Mr. Ward who had become a general. This Ward had a mania for Caucasian superiority. Once he had a boat's crew of six men for recommendering among the creeks and rivers about Charleston. The only real boatman among them was a Negro named Dick, and he was the only Negro in the crew. He pulled the stroke car, acted as coach, and sailed the boat when the wind was fair. General Ward at the end of a trip gave his crew a side of meat. One of them, a butcher in civil life, cut it into six equal pieces. The general forbade this, saying, "I want Dick to have a portion, but he must not share equally with you" white men." After the war, however, this General Ward, chastened by defeat, revisited the old plantation which was no longer his and, meeting some of his former slaves, asked their pardon for the wrongs he had done them. Aleckson says that after the war the white people of Charleston accepted their defeat with as much grace as possible, and that if the better class had had their way much of the evil of reconstruction days would have been avoided. The trouble in South Carolina was caused he says, by the infamous Bloody Code, a conflation of the Negroes worse, if possible, than it was under slavery.

WILLIAM GARDEEN LOWE There are many factors which must be taken into consideration whenever this matter is brought up. First among them is the obvious change which the profession as a whole is undergoing; the old family medicine told us is nothing the past; the group practice of medicine, as manifested by three or four doctors interested in different branches of the healing art having offices together and the grouping of several hospitals in the medical center idea, are all in themselves definite signs in the change of the practice of medicine. The specialist becomes a very important figure in the new scheme of things, so that a large per cent of the medical profession determines themselves just, which specialist they need rather than await the determination of the family doctor whether or not the services of a specialist is needed. We shall see later how these changes, keep the outlying districts scarce of physicians.

LAST week, in the beginning of the discussion on "Light Therapy," we found out that thera- patic value of sunlight was known since the time of the early Romans, though not well under- stood. We also found that, when light is passed through a prism, it is broken up into its components, producing a spectrum or rainbow. We still further found that there were invisible rays beyond the red end of the spectrum, and these are called infra red rays. Infra red rays are not heat rays: they are radiant energy just as the sun's rays which may pass through he should have described it in some detail. It was followed by the Car- petbaggers and a carnival of cor- ruption. Wade Hampton, whose memory is not at all cherished by Negroes, is praised by Aleckson as their friend. In a speech to Negroes he swore that no right or privilege should be taken away from them. The trouble was that Hampton, with all his sincerity, had made promises that he was not allowed to keep. As soon as he was made Governor of South Carolina the legislature passed restrictive laws aimed directly at the Negro. Afterward Aleckson moved North to Connecticut. In 1914 at the age 62 he completed his book in Vermont. He concludes it by saying that America's two worst evils are lynching and divorce—not divorce itself, but the trivial grounds upon which it is granted. This book causes one to wish that more ex-slaves had written the stories of their lives. —AUBREY BOWSER. Opportunity Writer Hits U. S. Occupation in Haiti Opportunity, the journal of Negro life, begins the New Year with an article, "The American Occupation of Haiti," by Dantes Bellegarde. It is an indemnment of American rule from the pen of the scholarly Haitian who is a commander in the Legion of Honor and formerly minister, from Haiti to France. "A Crusader," a story by Emile G. Thomas, is based on America's entrance into the Virgin Islands. J. H.
