He denied the charge. SECOND ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP ICE DEALER CAUSES MAN TO BE HELD His alleged attempt to hold up an ice dealer a second time resulted in the arrest Monday of Lawrence Brown, 20, 227 Edgecombe avenue, on charges of robbery and violating the Sullivan Law. Brown, it is charged, went to the ice cellar of Glacome Cellentano, 300 West 135th street, and pointing a pistol at his abdomen, took $35 from his pocket. The robbery occurred on Saturday. Brown made his escape after the robbery, the ice dealer said. Policeman Crosby of the West 135th street station joined in the chase. Brown ran into the hallway of a tenement house at 138th street and Edgecombe avenue. When the policeman reached the hallway, Brown, he charges, pointed the pistol at him and pulled the trigger. The weapon was empty and did not explode. Crosby knocked the pistol from Brown's hand with his nightstick and, after disarming Brown, placed him under arrest. The resolution was drawn up and preserved to the body of textile workers by Clarence Miller, white, who was sentenced to serve seventeen years in prison because of his participation in the recent Gastonia, N. C. Mike. In part, this resolution follows: EDGECOMBE AVENUE MAN HELD FOR HEARING ON ASSAULT CHARGE "To feel the attacks and reactions against Negro workers and to establish the joint struggle of white an black workers, the question must be approached from the point of view of class struggle and this pringle must determine our whole contact. Samuel Cash, 41, a porter, 157 Edgecombe avenue, was arraigned Monday before Magistrate Douras in Washington Heights Court and held without ball for a further hearing on a charge of felonious assault. Cash was arrested by Detective Oberhaus of the West 152d street station. He is charged by Jamina Sylvester, 321 Edgecombe avenue, with striking her on the head and face with a blunt instrument, following a dispute in her home. "We are forced into a militant struggle against the bosses. In the South resistance has been met by a reign of terror, the Ku Klux Klan, and with threats of lynching. Especially has this been true concerning the hero worker. "LIBERTY OR DEATH" IS INDIAN DEMAND AGAINST BRITISH RULE "It is only upon the basis of joint struggle based upon complete equality that the workers can overcome these conditions. We are in a class struggle with a relentless enemy that takes advantage of the backward element of the working classes and that seeks to arouse the suspicion of the white worker for the Negro and the Negro worker for the white. "The theory of higher and lower races advanced by them is typical of their efforts to keep the ranks of the workers split. The history of the American Federation of Labor is a history of Jim-crism and exclusion. The Negro worker must be made to realize that without militant struggle these racial questions can never be solved" The proposed strike will involve thousands of Negroes in the textile factories of Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia. New England, the recognized center in America of the textile industry, will be the scene of the greatest activity because of the number of workers which the strike will involve. Native Women Martyrs in African Battle With Troops LONDON—Dr. D. D. Shields, one of the under-secretaries of state of the African colonies, has reported that forty-three native women had been shot and killed by European troops in the riots staged in the colonies recently. According to this report, the men, armed with machettes, use the women as shields to protect them in their advance upon the European troops. The natives had heard of the vaunted chivalry of the whites and had used this method of protection, but found that the much-raided chivalry was a myth as the women were shot down in cold blood. While this report has been accepted as plausible, there is much apprehension on the part of those who look askance at it. Reports of attacks upon white men and women in the rioting section are believed to have caused the massacre of native women. Bronx Man Take Own Life Following Slaying of Spouse on Christmas Day Grim Drama Leaves Orphanage as Yule "Present" for Five Children of Estranged Couple Who Scorned Reunion Failing in his efforts to effect a reconciliation with his estranged wife, Blanche, Ernest Burbick, 45 Clinton avenue, the Bronx, killed her and then committed suicide in the apartment of Mrs. Florence Holmes, 233 West 143d street, a friend of his wife, on Christmas morning. Memphis Orphanage Still Under Investigation MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 30 (ANP). —The conviction and incarceration of Miss Bessie Simon, superintendent of the Bessie Simon Orphanage, was not the final chapter in the orphanage case, which had its beginning in a fire which demolished one of the buildings and resulted in the loss of eight lives. This fact was disclosed here when further findings of the investigation committee were made public. According to these findings, of the eighty-eight children in the home, only twenty were sent there by the juvenile courts and the majority of them came from parents who were able to support them. An additional charge was brought that several of the children came from northwestern States and had been sent there by parents who were laboring under the impression that their youngsters were in a boarding school. While Miss Simons is serving her ninety days in the workhouse for brutality to her charges, the State Welfare Department is working to clear up the affairs of the institution. Bronx Man Take Own Slaying of Spouse Grim Drama Leaves "Present" for Five Ch Couple Who Sco Failing in his efforts to eff estranged wife, Blanche, Ernest B Bronx, killed her and then conn of Mrs. Florence Holmes, 233 W wife, on Christmas morning. According to Mrs. Holmes, the couple, both former residents of Charleston, S. C., have been living apart since September. When their home was broken up the five children, the oldest being a child of fifteen and the youngest only six, were placed in homes in Jamaica, L. L. "Since September," Mrs. Holmes old a reporter for The Amsterdam News on Thursday, "Blanche kept her address a secret from her husband, but early last week one of the children needed some clothing and when she went to him for the money to buy them he insisted on bringing her home. From that time on he kept pleading with her to return to him. Sunday night they visited the children and Blanche told me that he again asked her to come back to him on the train back to New York and that she refused. She did not see him again until Christmas morning. Complete independence of Great Britain has been demanded by the executive committee of the All-India National Congress which is holding its forty-third congress at Lahore, India, according to Associated Press dispatches. "It was about 8:15 when Ernest knocked at the door and as his wife was in the bathroom I admitted him. He asked for her and walked to the bathroom. Almost immediately they began arguing and not wanting a disturbance in my house I telephoned the police. So insistent and so radical are the Indian demands for a complete severance from English rule and the destruction of English domination that most observers are inclined to view them as the symbols of a revolutionary spirit too fierce to be allayed by diplomacy. It is reported that between 20,000 and 50,000 revolutionists are attending this conference allied to the highest pitch to force England to release the Indian empire of more than three hundred million souls. "I had hardly finished phoning when Blanche called to me. Then she screamed, 'Oh, Ernest, don't. After that neither spoke and when the police—Patrolman Arthur Brishane of the West 135th street station was the first—arrived, they found them both dead." Ironically enough, the leader in this significant conference, important to colored races generally, because it exposes the desire and the determination of colored races to liberate themselves from the overlordship of the great white nations, is Mahatma Ghandi, the peaceful protestant, who has been pestering British statesmanship for more than a dozen years. According to Mrs. Holmes, the Burbicks had been married eighteen years. Herself a native Charlestonian, she said that the three of them had been children together. Burbick, she said, was not the type of a man with whom one would associate anything violent. Late Minister of Williams' C.M.E.

Pace Alexander, president of the National Bar Association and a resident of Philadelphia, at the Saturday evening session which was held at the Witoka Civic Association, 322 West 145th street. In discussing the subject of "Politics and the Law," Mr. Alexander said: "Eliminate the professions of teaching, law, and medicine and the average student is at a loss so far as a career is concerned. The Negro is fast becoming a highly trained people but with too little opportunity to exercise that training. Politicians Needed. "The active engagement in politics would remedy this situation which now exists. Politics too long have been regarded as being unworthy of the honest person's notice. This attitude must be changed but this change will not be a sudden one. If one-half of the young men now in the study would change the course of their study, the debate would science what a great contribution they could make toward the betterment of the Negro in every way, as the unfair legislation now directed toward him would be removed. His whole economic status would be raised." William K. Saunders and King Edwards welcomed the conclave visitors on behalf of the Alpha Phi Alpha.

"An ignorant Negro, if he has common sense, is of more value to the race than the so-called educated Negro," declared Dr. Carter. G. W. editor of the Journal of Negro History, in addition the Sunday afternoon session which was held at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th street. "I say this because the average educated Negro today knows very little about his race and does not care to learn anything about it. I am sure that there are not three Negroes in this audience who could mention three great kings of Africa. You are not interested in them. You are not interested in them but are interested only in feathering your own nest. "This is true because of the system of education as it exists today. Almost every book written by white man today is propaganda which portrays himself as the superior individual and the Negro as the inferior. So long have we heard this preached until many of us believe it." "When he comes from college, the educated young Negro wants to get a job and in his rush to do so he forgets everything else. He does not care to associate with the poor uneducated masses. He feels that now he is above them and that he cannot afford to waste his time with them. What they should do is to return to school and come active factors in the civic and all other activities for good. Most of them feel that they are too good for the homes from whence they came and they rush off to the city. Asks Study of Negro. "To thoroughly appreciate our race we must first know something about its background. The Negro must learn something about the Negro. Read Negro newspapers and magazines, for if the white man is to determine what we shall learn then he will also determine what we shall think. Let us throw off the enslavement of our minds by the white man and by learning something about ourselves be free in mind as well as body."

Dying Man Denies Butcher's Murder Dying Man Denies Butcher's Murder Former Convict Succumbs Shortly After Death of Merchant Denying almost with his last breath that he was guilty of the murder of George Brill, white butcher, who met his death during the holdup of his shop at 410 Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, on Saturday night, Robert Price, known to his cronies as "Two-Gun Price," died Sunday in Cumberland Hospital from stab wounds in the abdomen. The holdup and murder of Brill occurred shortly before midnight on Saturday and passersby are said to have seen a tall man run from the place following the sound of two shots. Police found Brill's body with bullet wounds in the head and heart. In his right hand was a heavy cleaver and by his side lay his loaded revolver. Descriptions of the slayer furnished by witnesses tallied with the appearance of Price and police of the Poplar street station began a search for him. Price, wounded in the abdomen, staggered into the home of Mrs. Sadie Trull, 14 Fleet street, at 11 a.m. and collapsed in theATCH, with two assistants, Mrs. Truell summoned an ambulance and Price was taken to the hospital, where he was identified and arrested for the murder of Brill. Before his death on Sunday Price said that he had received his injuries in a street fight and denied any knowledge of the holdup and murder of Brill. Price is credited with a long career in the detective Hugh Reilly, at one time he served a ten-year sentence in Tennessee for manslaughter.

The girl, who was placed in the custody of the Children's Society, pending the outcome of the charges, told the police that she had been left in the home of a woman with a mental illness. A defendant had improper relations with her Dec. 22 when the woman was out, according to her story. Detective Anderson of the East 104th street station arrested Cohen after going to the East 115th street address to investigate a complaint.

C., Dec. 30 (AMP): —Despite the fact that Henry Bawls, a prominent young white man, admitted that he had entered the home of Matthew Grissom and had taken a quantity of money, he was discharged the next day when morning when he was tried on a burglary charge. Grissom charged the white man with entering his home and robbing it, among the loot being $200. The white man declared that he had not taken any money, confessed to taking any money which he had destroyed for revenge. Charges of a similar nature against Rawls' white companion will probably be dropped. On a charge of felonious assault made by James Bain, 302 West 140th street, Charles Weaver, 20, 101 West 126th street, was held without bail for a further hearing when arraigned Friday before Magistrate Douras in Washington Heights Court. The two men according to the police became involved in an altercation at 555 Lenox avenue, when Weaver, it is charged, slashed Bain on the floor of his house with razor blade, inflicting a wound which necessitated his removal to Harlem Hospital. Weaver was arrested by Detective Nelson of the West 135th street station. The New York Amsterdam News G. O. P.

Judge Orders Jury To Free Patrolmen Police Were Accused of Attempted Extortion by Harlem Man Freed in General Sessions the day before at the order of Judge George L. Donnellan, two white policemen charged with extortion were allowed to quit the New York Criminal Courts in time to be with their families for Christmas. The two. Patrolman Louis D. James, stationed at the East Thirty-fifth street station, and Lawrence R. Donnellan, stationed at the Central station, were on trial only a short time when the judge ordered the jury to acquit the defendants. Benjamin Wright, manager of a renting office at 117 West 141st street, accused the two of attempting to exorcise $1,000 from him on Oct. 7 after announcing that he was under arrest. Wright said that he called the owner of the house when the demand was made. When witnesses failed to identify possibly the preacher, the acquaintance immediately demanded. It is expected that after police trial before the Commissioner Grover Whalen the officers will be reinstated to their posts. Both were suspended when the charges were filed against them.

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF YOUR NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PAST YEAR REVIEWED Business Department Policies Explained and Staff of Workers Introduced ARTHUR BRISBANE Wrote in Thursday's New York American: Advertising means selling goods, which means making more goods necessary. And that means employing more labor. Therefore advertising is vitally important to industry, finance and business. Page Four THE PUBLICATION ACHIEVEMENTS YEAR RE Business Department Staff of Worke The year of 1939 is now in the records of the past, 1930 is upon us and this issue of The Amsterdam News is the first of the new year. Before this issue is completely circulated, scarcely off the press in fact, the business department heads and employees will be compiling records of advertising and circulation. This same routine will be followed each week of the year, each week of the present year being compared with the corresponding period of the year before. These same records will be available to those interested, and from time to time published in these columns. The keeping of records of business done by a newspaper is one of the most important duties of the business department, for a newspaper's claims of usefulness must be fully supported by accurate records. It is now the time to look over and examine the records of the past twelve months and to make budgets and plans for the coming twelve months. Frankly it is a pleasure, in the case of The Amsterdam News, to compare its records of 1929 with those of other years and with those of other publications for the past year. The books of The Amsterdam News show that Harlem's leading publication has during the past year enjoyed the largest business of its twenty years of existence. We hope that the reading public will not think we are boasting when we recount here the advancement of The Amsterdam News, because of the fact that it is unusual for weekly publications, especially Negro ones, to give the public an insight into their business successes and accomplishments. It is not uncommon for the large and successful dailies to make statements that reflect the superiority of the publication or that show the value as an advertising medium. We are giving out this statement, and other statements from time to time, in order to convince the buyer of space that he or she is getting the best service possible for his money, to educate the advertiser to properly discriminate between newspapers, and to help build up confidence in Negro journalism by showing that at least there is one paper that is striving to give an honest dollar's worth of service for each dollar received. With the exception of seven or eight issues during part of January, February and part of March. The Amsterdam News issued a twenty-page paper until December 18, when the forty-eight-page 20th anniversary edition was brought out, being the largest paper ever printed by The Amsterdam News. This issue carried 34.102 lines of paid advertising, another record. This issue will also exceed any previous edition for circulation when all circulation demands are filled. A weekly average of 21.778 lines of advertising was carried throughout the year for the largest financial returns in history of a Harlem weekly newspaper. Circulation increased surely and steadily until now The Amsterdam News has passed a 30.000 net paid weekly average, a net weekly gain of over 3,000 copies. The Business Policy The owners of The Amsterdam News among other things insist that The Amsterdam News be a one price publication. The Amsterdam News has one rate card and that rate card is followed regardless as to whether the buyer of space is a friend or stranger. It is quite customary for space buyers to ask, "Is this your best price?" "Can't you make this or that concession?" The answer is always the same. No. We have only one price for all. Then there is the negligent buyer who signs a contract and immediately forgets the terms therem The Amsterdam News believes that a ARTHUR Wrote in Thurs Amer Advertising contract is an agreement between two parties, each pledged to live up to certain conditions. The Amsterdam News when it makes a contract intends to live up to every part of the contract and also expects the other party to do the same. Many have been very much surprised to find out that an Amsterdam News contract is not just "a scrap of paper." Due partly to the slackness of the newspaper fraternity in general, many of the trading public as a whole do not take the business side of a Negro newspaper seriously. One subscription paid for a year is considered payment for and a continuation of the paper for lifetime. The cause has been that our newspapers have not insisted upon payments when due, and have failed to cut delinquents from the mailing list. Advertising accounts are expected to be carried indefinitely with none or little payment, because the advertiser is not sure that the advertising is worth the charges made, and doesn't intend to pay in full when his order is placed. The Amsterdam News management sincerely believes that its product is worth the amount charged, gives statistics and results to prove it and therefore demands payment regularly for services rendered. It is not the intention of The Amsterdam News to "make it hard" for a customer to do business. The firm's books will show over ten thousand dollars of credit accounts. In order to conduct a business as extensive as that of The Amsterdam News a competent staff and suitable office equipment are necessary. The Amsterdam News has a staff and equipment as large as any paper of its class in the nation. The size of the staff and the amount of salaries paid are another proof of the large amount of business transacted. A staff of thirteen persons is regularly employed in the business department. An additional six or more extra part-time men for mailing are employed and for delivery of papers in Manhattan Tuesday nights. In the Brooklyn section are two regular delivery men, who supply sub-agents, and in the office are two assistants to the manager. The Jersey office also has a business department representative. Claims of a general nature made in a wholesale way by other newspapers should be taken with a grain of salt and carefully weighed as to their value. Many make claims of having nearly as large or larger circulation than The Amsterdam News, but if carefully looked into the preposterousness of their claims can readily be understood, as they neither the human or mechanical equipment to circulate the number of papers over the territory claimed. The Amsterdam News uses two ton-and-half trucks for Harlem delivery. Five men are used on these trucks. For Brooklyn and Jamaica a light delivery truck as well as a horse-crown vehicle are used. The Jersey territory is covered by another delivery car and by mail. Two other automobiles, business coupes, are used by the advertising, merchandising and circulation departments for picking up advertising copy and making collections. The progress of 1929 is only one year of several consecutive successful business years made possible because of the faithfulness of the business staff, many who have long years of service to their credit, the oldest in point of service being Mrs. Armintha Thorne, who has been on the staff since its organization. The duties and length of service by other members are given in a series of short biographies that follow this article. All of the above employees, excepting those of Brooklyn, work under the direct supervision of the business manager, who in turn is responsible directly to the directors of The Amsterdam News Corporation. The Amsterdam News is a corporation, the stock of which except for a few shares is owned by the president and general manager, William H. Davis, and his wife, Mrs. Sadie Warren-Davis, and daughter, Mrs. Morse. --- MANAGER AND STAFF OF THE BUSINESS OFFICES Miss Cornelia Dickerson MANAGING CLERK CIR. DEPT.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Calif., he came to The Amsterdam News more than a year ago and started the ball rolling along a different road. His unusual business acumen, his genial smile and his "on the level" attitude made him most welcome by everyone. After keenly observing the situation, he began to revise the routine of the circulation department and the advertising department. In his estimation the first step towards perfecting a well organized program in any institution is to install a modern and workable system, create a congenial atmosphere of co-operation among the workers of the system, become a part of the system and then watch it go. He was unusually alert and as a result of his magical workmanship the circulation department's statistical reports show a greater increase in subscribers and financial income than it could have done without his direction. The accounting department, strictly under his supervision, likewise, finds its records marvelously revised and improved. The major part of his attention, however, is given to the advertising department, which is the chief maintenance of The Amsterdam News. The two separate divisions of this department being the classified department and the display department. It is a pleasure to watch him always in his same "happy-go-lucky" manner cover the field, the office and the press. As a final check-up for the year, the advertising department leaped to a higher plane than ever before in the history of the institution and as the twentieth year of The Amsterdam News closes the reports for 1929 are highly gratifying. MRS. ARMINTHA THORNE came to The Amsterdam News nineteen years ago when the institution was in its first year and enjoys the distinction of having been with the firm longer than any other employee. She was the first bookkeeper and her faithfulness and trustworthiness during these years have won for her the position as cashier in charge of banking. She* is the official secretary of the corporation. She is kept busy with numerous office details in the classified department and assists in the accounting department. Mrs. Thorne is an active member of St. James' Presbyterian Church. BIOGRAPHIES OF STAFF Mrs. Leola Lillard ASST. ADVT. MANAGER --- JIMMIE SMITH Business Manager. The New York Amsterdam News MISS CORNELIA DICKERSON'S business connections with The Amsterdam News began more than ten years ago. Her first two years were spent as stenographer to the general offices. She was next promoted to the bookkeeping department and served in that capacity for five years. Since 1927 she has served as managing clerk of the circulation department, and very efficiently handles her heavy duties of detailing distributors to their various routes and seeing that subscribers receive their papers. Her big job is compiling circulation figures. She is one of the most efficient and punctual members of the staff. Miss Dickerson is a dramatic soprano and one of the most popular members of New York's musical center. --- MRS. INEZ SMITH-WARD has been with the firm more than two years. Her first assignment was as secretary in charge of correspondence for the advertising department, at which time she instituted the code system for classified advertising. Her adaptability to figures and record-keeping gained for her a rapid promotion to the accounting department. She has been head bookkeeper for more than a year. She is an excellent stenographer and is one of the youngest members on the staff. Mrs. Ward was formerly bookkeeper-secretary to the Lehigh Heating Company and companion-secretary to Edna Ferber, the famous novelist. MRS. LLLLIAN SHARPE-HUNTER ER joined The Amsterdam News force a little more than two years ago. Her first duties were soliciting saleslady and manager of the mer- chandising department. Because of her aptitude for general office work, she was assigned clerk-in-charge of the classified charge department. On Mondays and Tuesdays prior to the current issues of the paper she receives hundreds of classified ads by way of telephone from established customers, and in this capacity is rendering valuable service. Mrs. Hunter will be remembered as the writer of the former articles under "The Housewives' Exchange" of the women's department of this paper. She was formerly the owner of an exclusive music store in Philadelphia. Mrs. Hunter is the wife of Charles H. Hunter, instructor of Pullman car porters. MRS. LEOLA L. LILLARD joined the staff more than three years ago. From stenographer, she won promotion to the position of bookkeeper. Later she became secretary to the advertising manager and is now assistant advertising manager, occupying one of the highest positions held by a woman in the institution. She also assists in the accounting department. She is kept busy handling transactions for display advertising and it is her voice that travels over the busy wires on Mondays and Tuesdays to the customers who wish to place current copy. On Tuesday afternoons she can be seen at the press assisting in the make-up of the paper. She will be remembered by the New York public for her articles which appeared in The Amsterdam News under "A Key to Culture" during 1927 and 1928. Mrs. Lillard was formerly with the Victory Life Insurance Company, where she had charge of the policy department of the home office in Chicago for several years. She is the wife of James A. Lillard, noted tenor singer. --- MISS MARIE KING'S first connection with The Amsterdam News came two years ago when she was employed by the editorial department as secretary. During 1929 she was recalled by the business department to serve as correspondence secretary. Her time is divided between the circulation department, where she has charge of the mailing list, and the advertising department, where she is in charge of correspondence. Miss King is one of the best stenographers on the staff and was formerly employed by "Opportunity" and the "Messenger" magazines. --- MR. HARMON UNTHANK came to The Amsterdam News as firm auditor a little less than a year ago. He is an expert accountant and has been of great service to the firm in auditing the books of the circulation and bookkeeping departments. Mr. Unthank was formerly employed by the "Crisis," where he was accountant for eight years. He holds the B. B. A. degree and graduate's diploma in accounting from the College of the City of New York. --- NOAH M, THOMPSON, the son of Noah D. Thompson, business manager of Opportunity Magazine, occupies the position of file and classified clerk and is nearing his first year of service with The Amsterdam News. Mr. Thompson came to The Amsterdam News after serving three years on the Baltimore Afro-American in the advertising department. He also was a columnist on the same publication, having gained experience in newspaper work in California as a member of the California Eagle. GEORGE A. GARNETTA is one of the oldest employees of The Amsterdam News, having sold the paper on the streets as a newsboy. During his eight or more years on the staff he has served in various capacities wherever needed. He is now a member of the circulation and advertising departments, serving as a collector, distributor and classified clerk. --- ADOLPH WRIGHT is one of the newer members of The Amsterdam News and is in charge of circulation distribution on Manhattan Island. A college graduate with an excellent business education, Mr. Wright fitted easily into the position that entails the circulation of nearly 20,000 newspapers in a few hours, with an accurate record being kept and moneys collected. WILLIAM WILSON, a recent arrival from Ohio, is a member of the circulation department as a distributor and a classified clerk in the advertising department. A nephew of the treasurer, Mrs. Sadie Warren-Davls, Mr. Wilson, just out of high school, is learning the newspaper business from the bottom up. FRANK STEVENS, a member of the circulation department, is a chauffeur and distributor. He assists Mr. Wright in the making of route sheets and the checking of circulation records and collections. --- MISS GRETA STEWART came to The Amsterdam News one year ago, having been a successful solicitor with the Wigins Coal Company. She is an advertising department solicitor and has made many valuable contacts for The Amsterdam News. --- CALVIN J. FERGUSON is in charge of that important territory, the State of New Jersey. The Amsterdam News is his first connection with a newspaper, but in nearly a year of service in the New Jersey division he has done much to increase the circulation and popularity of the East's leading newspaper.

Holloway, Herbert, 26, 310 West 135th Beneficial League Has Annual Christmas Fete The Incorporated International Beneficial League enjoyed the Yuletide festivities Thursday at their meeting room in Lafayette Hall. After the regular business of the evening and the receiving of forty-four new members, among whom was Dr. William P. Hayes of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, several of the church officers and members were received as members of the league, and were tendered all the courtesy of the evening. Dr. Hayes delivered an address to the league. Another speech was made by Eugene Z. Cambior, exalted ruler of the Tuxedo Lodge of Buffalos. The honor of receiving the new and distinguished members was bestowed upon Assemblyman-elect Lamar Perkins by the founder and president, Margaret L. Harris; a collation was served by Mrs. Caira Hans and committee. Presents were distributed to the officers and members from the Christmas tree by Mary Dodson James Two hundred members were present. The Glee Club furnished a musical program, Mrs. Spraattley in charge. The league, only five months old, has 60 members. A surprise birthday party was given to Mr. James Bracy by his mother of 456 St. Nicholas avenue on Saturday evening, Dec. 21, 1929. He received many useful gifts. It was a great surprise to him and everyone present enjoyed the surprise. Those who helped to make the party a success were as follows: Mesdames Rebecca Gordon. Nannie Champ, Maggie Jones, Sadie E. Norman, Marie Rivers, Robinson, Lula J. White, Mary Jones, Bessie Harrison, L. Weaver; Misses Grace Beans, Bentrice Allen; Messrs. Edward Clarke, George Holdman, Z. B.

At least, we used to. Nowadays, most of us are so busy that we scarcely give resolutions more than a passing thought. Some of us go to the other extreme and palmstakingly write out a dozen or so which we immediately forget all about. Why not strike the happy medium and make a few sensible resolutions that you will at least try to carry out? Here is a good chance to cut out smoking or drinking. Here is a splendid opportunity for the wandering husband to promise to remain at home nights so that his wife will be able to recognize him. The main point about resolutions is that you keep them. Otherwise, they are a waste of time and only show you up. Therefore, for 1930 resolve to, do your best and then set to work to carry out that resolution. REPUBLICAN WOMEN GIVE YEARLY TREAT Children of the Twenty-first Assembly district were tendered their annual Christmas theatre party Monday by the Women's Republican Political Study Class, Inc., of which Mrs. E.

The trouble is that we won't go about it faithfully. Why not resolve to earnestly do our duty? It is our duty to look and feel our best and if perseverance is what we lack, let's resolve to persevere. Here are a few suggestions which are not hard to carry out and which we will find beneficial: Resolve to get the required amount of sleep; to exercise daily, to sleep in a well-ventilated room; to get out in the fresh air for at least half an hour every day; to dress warmly during the winter; to check up on all details of dress and appearance; and to be neat at all times. There are many, many more resolutions that I might suggest, but space will not allow it. Let me here wish all the readers of the column a very Happy New Year. May you improve in both health and looks and have far less worries and troubles in 1930 than you old in 1929. Dob Wig Like Cut, Made From Human Hair, Price $8.00.

TUTT WHITNEY. ONE of the first resolves that we theatrical resolvers should resolve or the incoming year I have to stop singing the "Blues." I have to discover one of the singers, "yours truly" included, whose adversity predicament is unique. Like the blind man's sign, who ambles up and down the "Roaring Forties," "it could be worse." I was certain that I had the best "Blues" number on the "Tough-breaks" program. But there were always so many others who could sing louder and longer that I got tired standing in the wings, all made up, and never a chance to put my hand on the screen. I singing the "Blues" if everyone has a "Blues" of his own and won't stop to listen to the one a guy is trying to sing. Of all the "Blues" that have been forced upon my unwilling cars within the last six months, not one of them has had the brand of originality. I have learned, by listening in, that no person is particularly interested in listening to any other "Blues" than his own. A "Blues" audience is a two-faced assemblage. It has a German machine-gun nest beat when it comes to a matter of camouflage. It my seem all tears while the "Blues" is being broadcast, but immediately the singer disappears his audience is all jeers. It is rather a difficult thing to loose the tear bags in sympathy for a healthy jodkeo just because he is out of a job, his meals scattered and his landlady ubiquitous. The other evening I was returning from the grocery; the thermometer was tickling zero under the chin and my feelings were lower than whale tracks on the bottom of the ocean. There were children and a family. Their belongings were scattered about the sidewalk, the mother was frantically walking up and down, while a little girl about twelve, with a light shawl about her shoulders, stood in the doorway, silently weeping, and shivering from the cold. A curious crowd stood impotently by. I wondered why there was not enough charity at Christmas time to alleviate such misery. The thought also intruded, how much pressure could be put on a stricken family have to wade through before it could obtain sucor from one of our numerous churches or charitable organizations. I was ashamed of my self-pity. There are those who would consider my temporary illness a boon. I once entertained at a home for incurables. The jolliest inmate had been bed-ridden for twenty years with some incurable form of rheumatism and could move eyes and mouth without assistance, and stairs to a warm room and the companionship of a warmer bunch of good fellows I said to myself, "it could be worse." Any efficient expert would agree that there is enough energy wasted by discontented actors in futile singing of the "Blues" to write all of Shakespeare's dramas and produce a hundred shows. The discontented, unemployed "Blues" singer is not only a bad vocalist but he is poor company. He has about the same effect upon the enthusiasm of the audience, he would a bucket of cold water poured upon an unsuspecting pedestrian on a winter morn. A guy can always come back if he sincerely and courageously believes that he can, no matter if the devil himself tells him that he can. He may not be a world beater when he gets back, but he can surely lift himself out of his "slough of despond" to a wholesome victory over adverse circumstances. Despair is the white hat of surrender. When a guy deserves laughing a come-back, he hands his weapons of offense and defense over to the enemy. We sing the "Blues" about the barriers and obstacles of the color-line and deep down in our hearts we know it is mostly a whining subterfuge to cover up our laziness, lack of initiative and other shortcomings. The other fellow has nothing on us biologically or in the matter of talent, but we are forced to confess that we gets us a hot pace. If we would keep pace with the matter of study, work, concentration and application, a great deal of the time we could have him wiping our dust from his eyes, but instead we waste oodles of valuable time in an inharmonious rendition of the "Color-line Blues." Idle chatter never sink an oil well or floated a show. Stop singing 'em! Our turkey Christmas dinner was an epicurean, gastronomical success. About a hundred persons were served. The bill (o-fare) was a hit, the cheese was enced. The turkeys served me have been of a rare species, a bovine; they were the day after we couldn't scrape up enough of the skeletons to season a water stew. Donations for the Christmas dinner are still coming in, for which we are very grateful. And while we are on the matter of donations, aside from the great amount of time donated by Lucky Roberts and Irvin C. Miller, it is entirely fitting and proper that we mention that J. Rosamond Johnson donated the association a $350 upright piano. And Jesse A. Shipp donated a $500 library of rare and interesting books. We are planning to install a radio to the entertainment of members and guests at our earliest convenience. Capt. Harry Dean, African explorer, ethnologist, archaeologist and the author of "Pedro Gerino" and "Konkjoe," was the guest of Jesse Shipp at the association Monday afternoon. Capt. Declares that Africa is the richest country in the HOLIDAY BILLS CONTINUE AT LOCAL HOUSES Business Good Despite Slump in Theatres Elsewhere "Dark Streets" to Be Shown at New Douglas A strange story of twin brothers who took opposite sides of the law and who are pitted against, each other, for the sake of life and death is vividly told and picture-streets," the gripping underworld drama, which will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, January 4, 5 and 6. N strait gripping story than this has even been recorded for the talking screen. "Dark Streets" is noteworthy for its ringing images. The most interesting of these is the first dual role taking picture. Jack Mulhall takes the part of both brothers. They are seen fighting each other and talking to each other in a scene enacted by Jacs Mulhall. This is another advanced step made in the art of talking pictures. Beautiful Lila Lee, one of the stars of the witchcraft crunettes, plays the role of the cop's sweetheart in "Dark Streets." A triumph of drama and spectaculairies, scenes. The Viking, the nature of the historical war will be presented at the New Douglas Theatre on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 8, 9 and 10, 2014. See the "Viking." The part of Heima is played by Pauline Starke: LeRoy Mason is the captive slave; Harry the plotting lover and Andres Randolph plays the part of Eric, the Red. Marion Davies' First Talkie At the Roosevelt Theatre To those who were fortunate enough to see and hear Marion Davies triumph in her novelty song "Revue," it will be no surprise to learn that Miss Davies has scored a sensational hit in her first full-length talking feature. It is called "Marianne" and will be shown at the Roosevelt for four days only starting Friday, January 3. "Marianne" is a romantic drama. It is story of a French girl, who, although she is poverty-stricken, makes life brighter for the American doughtboy in Paris. It certainly will make life happier for all who see it at the Roosevelt. George Jessef. Broadway's favorite singing comedian and original stage actress. Jazz Singer. She scored a tremendous "Lucie" which will be seen and heard again at the Roosevelt Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, January 7, 8 and 9, in the "Acoustic." This new picture an all-talking and singing Movietone drama, and gives Jessef an opportunity to display his marvelous singing and charming talents. Lia Lee and David Rollins are in the supporting cast. Renaissance to Show Another Fine All-Talkie "Night Parade," an all-talking love drama with Robert Ellis, Aileen Pringle, Hugh Trevor and Dorothy Gilver, which comes to the Renaissance Festival Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, takes the audience into the ramifications of after-dark decals along Manhattan's Great White Way. The adult girls baganalian revels and a thrilling prize fight make "Night Parade" unusually interesting. See and hear the scarlet curtain of big town life ripped open in one of the year's most exciting events. "Sweetie," an hilarious extravaganza of campus life with Nancy Carroll, Helen Kane and Jack Oakie, will be seen and heard for four days, and the music the music the music. Tuesday, January 4-5-6. Here is an all-talking, singing and dancing sensation, all about prep school boys and girls that is a tonic for the periphery. New jazz-mad dance tunes, new comedy gigs and a great assortment of real American thrills make this picture a veritable whirlwind of a captivating entertainment. Do you love thrills and music-feasts ever produced on the smoked screen. Stirring Melodrama to Be Offered at the Odeon One of the season's most stirring melodramas will be presented at the Odeon Theatre on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, as a special Thursday show. Those who want to know how vivid, raindy and fascinating talking pictures can be should see this picture as reproduced on the marvelous and most modern talking equipment, which has just been installed at the Odeon Theatre. In the star of "Bulldog Drummond," he enacts the role of a daredevil, romantic adventure-seeker, whose aid is enlisted by a beautiful woman whose father has been imprisoned by a half-crazed man upon killing him. In his effort to escape and run down the doctor and his desperate gang, Coleman runs into as thrilling a set of adventures as has ever been recorded in fact or fiction. Every member of the family will carry every minute of "Bulldog Drummond" when they see it at the Odeon. A weird and spellbinding characterization of the devilish Chinaman, which is better than anything famous on George He has ever done, is given by Warner Oland in "The Magnus Dr. Fru Manchut", the all-talking repository molodrama, which will be presented at the Odeon Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Jan. 4, 5 and 6. world and that the whites are put into execution a plan to drive the native Africans out of Africa as they die the American Indians out of America and was incensed at the prospect of Jun Smut, white Boer war general, being a speech to colored people and introduced by a colored man, Coppe Dean of the opinion that Mr. Smut the greatest enemy the native African has to fear. He is the chief advocate of the thesis that a native African has no rights that a white man is bound to respect. It is said that during Gen. Smut's administration more than a half million Kaffirs came to their death. Shows in London BY IVAN H. BROWNING DURING my recent three weeks in London I took the opportunity to visit a number of West End shows, which included talkles, dramas, variety, and I am able at this time to say that the show business in England is indeed above the average in comparison with America. The English managers are seemingly now determined to boost their own musical comedies, legitimate shows, as well as certain shows, particularly American shows and artists have practically monopolized most of the entertaining along all amusement lines. This has been on going for the four years I have been in England, but it is indeed a different story now. There is only one American musical comedy in London at this time. "Follow Thru." at the beautiful new Dominion Theatre at Oxford Circuit, which is sure to close very soon. "The New Moon." "Hold Everything," and a number of other American musical comedies, as well as a number of dramas, have failed recently. On the other hand the "All British" made shows are making the day and are getting popular not only in England and America, but Australia, Germany, France, and other countries. C. B. Cochran, one of the cleverest producers in the world, is really doing wonderful things these days, which is bound to attract immediate attention of other big producers all over the world. His beautiful operetta "Bitter Sweet," written by the clever Noel Coward, will in a short time appear in most every country throughout the world. With "Bitter Sweet" being a great success in New York, and which will shortly be followed by Cochran's big revive Take Up and Dream," they will give New York something new to talk about for four weeks. All English success shows are "Love Lies" with Stanley Lapino and Laddle Cliff. "Mr. Clinders," with funny Bobby Howes and Bonnie Hale, who certainly won't miss when they appear in New York soon in this production; "Dear Love," Clayton and Waller's latest success; "The Show's the Thing," with clever Grade Fields; "The House That Jack Built," with Jack Hubert and Clecly Courtneidge; "Journey's End." and "The First Mrs. Frazier." With these and others, it proves that this will be the greatest theatrical year for England in history. I might mention that judging from the many American variety acts that have actually flopped in England, this and last year, the English managers have about decided to give the home product far better consideration than they have in the past, and as I sat in the great Palladium a few afternoons ago I realized more than ever that there are some fine English artists whom I have never seen before. Many will perhaps laugh when I say that without a doubt the London Palladium is the finest variety theatre in the world. I mean mainly in the way in which variety is presented. Regardless of who you are, you must have an act, and must be clever to compete with the fast company you are when playing this popular theatre. Dr. Richard Black and his assistants really know the art of putting on beautiful kits for the No wonder so many American managers and arenters are coming to London these days. There is indeed much to learn and which they can take back to critical little New York. I feel certain if conditions continue to improve along the theatrical line England will stand out above every other before long. As for the talkies, the still bow to America, but generally speaking the novelty seems somewhat standstill in England, and unless the American ones as well as British continue to improve I hardly think they will play an important part with the English audiences, since they haven't gone wild over them up to now. The new Flo Ziefeld theatre in the Soho district opens soon, and it is rumored that this great producer is planning on putting on most of his big shows over here first, afterwards presenting them to America. There are a number of up-to-date theatres going up in and around the West End, and it appears to me that the real managers and owners are expecting an even bigger boom in the amusement world than there is at the present time. In talking with a well-known agent a short time ago, he gave me some information about a certain class of English managers and directors, of a number of "Posh" clubs and cabarets, which I heretofore never knew about. I have found out that at certain "Posh" hotels, cabarets as well as a few ordinary ones, a color bar exists where Negro artists are concerned, and it is not exactly the fault of the patrons, but mainly the music and directors. Of course, last year I knew of a case where an agent said he would not book any more Negro nets in a known cabaret in Piccadilly, but when a certain colored American came over last year and was such a tremendous success in all of the variety theatres, this agent forgot all about his declaration and booked the popular gentlemen in this cabaret, not only at a large salary, but for four weeks as well. Like in almost every country, I find it is not the people that really matter who are always hiding behind the old color excuse, but the everyday ordinary fellow is the one that is afraid of competition, and of course he goes about spreading unfair propaganda where and whenever he possibly can in order to keep the black man down. This idea is positively imbedded in most white people all over the world. I visited at least three all-British musical comedies and noticed immediately that all the dancing in The New York Amsterdam News 164 Market Street, Newark, N. J. Dec. 26, 1922. H. R. H.

If any doubt existed as to the total annihilation of your erst- while journalistic enemy, said doubt was immediately dispelled on reading your classic in this week's issue of the Amsterdam News, "Bye, Bye, Blackbird; It Was Wor- dest Worth." The little incident has been reminiscent of the days when metropolitan journalism kent the reading public on edge with such clever repartee as you have exhibited throughout this "benevolent episode." How well do we old-timers remember the Briezen-Bougherty battles; the anmbilition of one Hooks: the ball battles; the days of Bill Madison; the Navy Sail; Richard the Lionheart carrying the banner for Jersey; Czar Jimmy Fulz and the Royal Chancellor, And even the days when the journalists informed us that Wilfridus had gone ofay; when spies didst follow the Royal Charlot and with malice did publish paragraphs for the eyes of the Royal Consort.

There are at least three dancing producers that no to New York regularly to visit Harlem cabarets and then get Dilly Pierce and Buddy Bradley to teach them all that they can really grasp by observation. On the other hand the producers over there will not think of producing a real West End, London theatre. I have just read the Delly Star a wonderful compliment by E. W. Wilson, who writes on this well known paper, about Nerro artist. He says Nerroids are born artists. He asks the question: "Have you ever seen an indifferent Nerro artist," and answering it himself says he never has. He also says that part of the secret is their intense earnestness and love of the business of singing, dancing and make believe. I am sure Mr. Wilson is expressing the sentiment of the general public everywhere, yet the Negro is held back in the theatrical business more than anyone. The public everywhere is still asking there will ever be another "In Dahomey, Running Wild." or "Shuffle Along." Negroes are certainly more capable of singing, dancing and talking than they have ever been, and the public at large is anxiously looking forward to the time when at least one or two capable Negro will put in their appearance and give to the public what they have wanted since the passing of the above Negro productions. Trunk Mystery at the Alhambra Theatre "The Great Trunk Mystery" founded on a famous case that baffled detectives and police of the entire Albambra's drama next week, starring Old Chinatown, with its well-hidden secrets, is the background, and the mysterious disappearance of a young and beautiful girl furnishes a valuable object.

The famous record-singing star, all beaming with smiles, is brought out again and again in response to the demands of the audience for more of the songs which she has made popular. "Hello, 1930!" is the revue. It starts with the last appearance of the old year, 1929, in the person of a bent, white-breasted man. He perishes at the approach through a pair of gorgeous gates of the baby year, 1930. A group of girls dance the New Year in and singers raise their voices in a paean of welcome—and, so, 1930 gets a cheery start in Harlem. A boy dances in a sultry, wholly out in a comedy sketch, aided by Bebe Townsend and Stanleigh Morrell. There's a dance doddle by two young couples, Jim Lancaster and Josephine Jacobs and Josephine Campbell. "The Lonesome Road," a sort of semi-spiritual, is rendered by Manda Randolph with a fervor that brings the girls through a grotesque dance. Edgar Hayes and the Night-Hawk Band are on the stage, with saxophone solos by Emmett Matthews and the revue ends with rejoicing all around. The Line-Up," a police play, provides the dramatic contrast. It shows the inside workings of police headquarters, the morning line-up of prisoners who have been gathered up during the preceding twenty-four hours, and the justices done in the name of the law. Stanleigh Morrell is a brutal police inspector. Thomas Moseley is an innocent victim and Bebe Townsend is his wife. Al F. Watts is a gangster. Ted Blackman a craven "squealer." Hilda Offley is a desperate woman, Artie Cain is a wayward girl and Josephine Campbell a Swedish cook. Josephine Campbell is almost to the electric chant in flash, come revelations that lay bare the plot against him and he goes free. The picture feature is "The Heroic Lover," shown for the first time upfront. Stuart Holmes and Barbara Bedford. The midnight show. New Year's night will have some extra clowning talent to maintain the holiday spirit. Eubie Blake and Broadway Jones Here Next Week Another treat is in store for patrons of the Lafayette Theatre next week. Eubie Blake and Broadway Jones, probably the most famous colored actress in the world, will deville and musical comedy stage will be seen at the head of an exceptional revue called "The Birth of Syncapation." This is the first time that this popular team are appearing at the Lafayette, a city with many organizations having made it impossible for them to rehearse and appear in a show in Harlem. After months of effort they were able to get a "leave of absence" to appear before the audiences they love best—at the Lafayette. Another item worthy of note in connection with next week's show at the Lafayette is that it is being produced by Lawrence Deas—one of the shows have been presented in all the larger theatres of the country. "Birth of Syncapation" is the first show that Deas is producing especially for the Lafayette, and that means that he will be spared to make it his greatest. A large and noted cast will appear in support of Blake and Jones. Among them will be the Mobile Revelers, Lethia Hill and other entertainers and who are certain to give Harlem audiences a delightful surprise. Another gorgeous photoplay program will be presented, together with "Birth of Syncapotion." The feature will be the dancing, singing, natural color, spectacle and gripping drama, which will be performed by the son, who did such wonderful work in "On With the Show" and "The Great Gaboo," is the star. Whitman Sisters Scoring At the Lafayette Theatre The famous Whitman Sisters and their big company are making their long-awaited annual visit to the Lafayette Theatre this week. Never in their long and colorful history have they presented a show which is the could not be one they are now presenting at the popular Seventh avenue playhouse. Nothing that the management of the Lafayette could do to assure its patrons could help them to compare with the offering of the Whitman Sisters' show. For sheer speed, beauty and fun it is one of the finest entertainments that has graced a local stage since the revue entertainment began to find such wide for among certain Harlem theatrregroups. The cast presenting this revue is a large one. It includes the well-known and popular Princess Wes Whitman, who is the best woman tap-dancer on the American stage; the Ukelele Five, a wonderful quintette of dancers, singers and musicians; Lena Currey, a sweet-voiced soprano, and those three of fun, Willie "Toot Sweet," Out "Out" Ellis and "Showboy" Holland. The photoplay program includes "The Blackmail," "Blackmail," and a very delightful Vitaphone singing and dancing act, "Sammy and his talented brothers." WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1930 Edited by Romeo L.

Students' Literary and Debating League Despite the inclementity of the weather a large and colorful group attended the program of the Students' library and the library on Sunday afternoon. From all indications the energetic group of young men and women who comprise this organization had the most successful and unique. Evidently they realize the fact that if success is to be achieved it will only be through hard work and hardship who had contributed of the best, and the male members nequitted themselves with as much credit in the best, and the male members nequitted themselves with as much credit in the best, and the male members nequitted themselves with as much credit in the best. This affair was significant, for it was the first time the club had an opportunity of publicly announcing its purpose. The club, which has been his address by indicating the Negro college men for their apathy and indifference to things which seriously concern the race, has said that he does assume the responsibility of leadership, but simply fiddle while Rome burns and that it was necessary that they use their own people. "The troops are we," said Mr. Holder, who down upon the masses in a rainstorm, and who could not resist the right of social criticism on while forsaking the bosom of our people and striving after the comparatively apprehension of other racial groups. He said that the Students' Literary and Debating League was organized for the purpose of intempelling to remedy the racial injustice in the future leadership among the young and印佣 men within the race. The masses of our people, he contended, were the value of the rod which lies within their hands—the rod of their political power. He closed by saying that Negroes should be represented. They should be encouraged to register during every election and to vote so that by so doing they would be medical legislations passed, the red heedless to ameliorate beoking conditions. Another important part of the program was the introduction of Assistant Judge Giles, one of the honorary members of the league. Attorney Giles, in his opening remarks, commended the officers and members of the organization for their service in solving such a program, which he believes is a challenge to those of higher learning within the race. He said that the league is the program of the Student's Literary and Debtors League, and that the Negro should be made not only to know that it has a hand in its hand, but should be taught how to deal with it. Giles, who is rapidly forging ahead as a champion and leader, received a very posing welcome from the group.

SECOND SECTION MUSIC By Cora Illidge Chambres Appears in Organ Recital In these days, when one meets jazz and "canned music" at every turn, it is indicated in treat to be able to sit in the presence of an artist and listen to real music. Such was the privilege affected an enthusiastic group of musi- cles Monday evening, when they assembled at the new St. Paul Bap- tle Church, West 132d street, to listen to Uppsala Garrison Chambres in an organ recital. Because of content and sufficient arrangement, variety and con- tuse, pan-multiliterated organ music estimated to command the interest of the most musically intellectual. Mr. Chambres never stooped to meet the level of so-called popular taste, nor crow his program with transcriptions of piano, violin or vocal music, after the fashion of many less serious and less capable players. The big outstanding numbers were: The Bach Passacaglia, the Listsz Prelude, Fugue on the name Bach, the Gulman-Sonata in D Minor. The lighter portion of the musical menu included such songs as "Even Song," by Johnson, and "Romance," in D Flat, by Edwin Lemare. Mr. Chambres' execution was an example of clear, clean-cut, authoritative organ playing. The Gulmanz Sonata was played and evoked rounds of applause. In the Listsz and Bach number the great contrapuntal masses seemed to roll forth in compelling feet, and Mr. Chambres' agile feet and hands seemed capable of almost any technical feat. The artist closed his program with a request number, the massive Wildor Tosaita" from the 8th Organ Symphony, which he played slower and more majestically than do most interpreters. In other words, this reading made the "Tosaita" a sparkling piece of massive architecture rather than a trite, insignificant scherzo. St. James' Choir Heard in Musicale Sunday evening the 8th. St. James Choir under the direction of Melville Charlton, rendered a Christmas musical at the church. Eyre's "Communion" in E Flat and Gound's "Sanctus" were very well sung.

Teachers were well-balanced, without that attempt to stand out individually that so often mars the efforts of our choirs. The solists, all of them members of the choir, were Doris Trottman, soprano, who sang Schubert's "Omnipotent"; Marjorie Harris, soprano, who rendered Tschalkowsky's "Joan歌" Arthur Wilson, tenor, who sang "If With All Your Hearts," from Mendelssohn's Elijah; and Russell Stewart, who sang "Lord God of Abraham," also from "Elijah. Each of these solists was in good voice and showed excellent musicianship. Vocal Students Presented The Martin-Smith School presented the pupils of its vocal teacher, Mme. Marie Selika-Williams, in a song recital Sunday afternoon at the school. Many of the pupils showed promise of brilliant futures, though one or two of them would probably better instrumentalists than singers. Iva May Mengen, niece of Mme. Williams, has a high soprano voice of beautiful quality and flexibility. She sang 'Non fu sogno,' by Verdi; "Awake, it is the Day," by Burleigh, and Del Reigo's "Homing." Arthur voices it as an unusually beautiful quality; it was heard "Shadows Deepen on the Castle Walls," by Buck. Other students showing ability were: Howard V. Aaron, Addie Williams, Lillian Shorter and Maggie McCrae. Miss Minnie Brown introduced Mme. Williams and told the audience of the attachments of this school. The university critical of the school will be given at Mother Zion Church Jan. 8 at 8 o'clock. White to Give Recital Clarence Cameron White, violinist, whose artistry won him an honorary degree from Atlanta University and a Harmon Foundation award, will appear in recital Sunday afternoon, Jan. 26 at International House, 500 Riverside drive. The recital will begin at 3:30. Mr. White will play under auspices of the Bermuda Benevolent Association. The Martin-Smith Music School Symphony Orchestra, which is conducted by David I. Martin, will play Sunday afternoon at the Young People's Conference at the West 185th street branch Y. M. C. A. This orchestra has been heard in Carnegie and Aeolian Halls. Miss Revella Hughes, the well-known soprano, assisted by Mr. Chambres, sang "He Shall Feed His Flock," from "The Messiah," by Handel; "Hear Ye, Israel," from Mendelssohn's "Ellijah." The pure singing quality, in Miss Ephraim's voice, was clear and melodious in both numbers. The low, middle and high registers were employed with perfect ease. She displayed, as usual, a remarkable personality. Harrison Emmanuel was heard in a violin recital Monday evening at St. Paul M. E. Church. Some of his numbers were: The Tschakowsky Concerto, opus 35; Caprice Viennols, by Kreisler, and Coleridge-Taylor's "Deep River." Anna Stradford Emmanuel assisted with "Concerto Eude in D Flat," by Liszt, and Saar's "Rhapodie." Hylo School of Popular Music Jazz Taught on All Instruments. Jazz Bands Formed.

APT. 2-D Emancipation Day Marked by Lyceum Speakers Declare Negroes Should Hail Occasion With Fervor That Emancipation Day should be endowed with the spiritual and patriotic fervor which marks July 4 in America and July 14 in France was the opinion expressed by speakers Sunday afternoon at the sixy-sixth anniversary observance of the freezing of slavery in Negro at St. Mark's M.E. Church, 19th street and Edgecombe avenue. The exercises were held under the auspices of the St. Mark's Lycme, of which W. Clinton Holloway is president. Willis N. Huggins, teacher of history at Bushwick High School, declared that the occasion should be a central core around which the Negro should rally. Instead of shunning the occasion, the people should of slavery, he said, the people should learn to appreciate values within the race as a preliminary to progress. The speaker's views were echoed in talks by Assemblyman Lamar Perkins and the Rev. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's. Cleveland G. Allen, newspaper man, who arranged the review, continued to review the progress of the Negro since 1864. He praised the acquisition of millions of dollars' worth of property and declared that the success of the past is an index to the possibilities of the future. Other features of the exercises were the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation and Lincoln's second inaugural address by Theodore Botts. Mrs. Alice David Crawford sang spirituals. Labor Defense Body Fights Discrimination PITTSBURGH, Dec. 30. — Three hundred and twenty-eight delegates who attended the opening session on Sunday of the fourth national convention of the International Labor Defense adjourned and marched in a body, together with hundreds of tough workers to demonstrate against the unjust penalization Hotel, which refused admission to Negro delegates. A police squad was lined up at the door of the hotel, but the workers entered and filled the lobby. Five hundred voices demanded the registrar the Negro delegates and no discriminatory degrees. The clerk, marched by police behind the desk, refused. A strong protest demonstration followed. Work to Address Historians TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Dec. 30.—Monroe N.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1930 Radio News and Programs By RICHARD L BALTIMORE Your Christmas Radio Now that you have your Christmas radio receiver fully managed, it isn't merely the knowledge of how to turn the switch off and on, or to wander over the dial and pick a station here n't there that gives real pleasure. The your Christmas Radio is more than a means of information of it. It is the knowledge of what the instrument can do, and of what is available to you in the way of entertainment for the mere twist of the hand. The radio may consist of so much wire, tubes, coils and cans to the average man in the street, and may receive the same treatment as other rugged pieces of black or apparatus that the owners have known that it is a marvel of modern science. A radio instrument is the most delicate electrical device ever placed in the hands of a novice. It should not be placed in a damp corner or next to a highly heated spot. For neocoustical reasons, its location in a room should not be a matter of quick decision, or the consideration only of a decorative Give the instrument an opportunity to show its tone quality. If it is next to resonating surfaces from pianos or flutes, it may be difficult to stage tages, due to sympathetic vibration and harmonics may be within these surfaces. There may be echoes to be played by the instrument and various parts of the room in unequal amounts, due to its construction or reflecting qualities. It may not be the instrument at all that produces a fuzzy tone. Usually the matter of location can be easily disposed of. Next comes the actual placement of the camera, hardly any wear on a radio set. With the possible exception of the mechanical incidental lighting and rapid shutter of the network displ镜, there are no moving parts. Only the tubes will actually "wear" and be removed in construction they require some care in their placement. So well have the engineers done their work that there is little if any danger attending either the installation or the use of a radio set connected to the power supply. The radio set and the safety cautions must be taken with any electrical apparatus. This the user will soon learn. The set off when making tube adjustments or replacing any unit. Switch it off when through. Expose none of the wires when it can be helped. The radio set on the battery is connected is fused. A lighting protector on your antenna as required by the fire underwriters. Tuning has become a lazy man's work. Dialing is merely a matter of calling the station. A stationed station before the pointer. With the volume control be careful to tune it down when bringing in local stations. Always operate with the minimum of volume and of current. It will be more relaxing and enjoyable for those listening. If you must hunt for DX, do so when you are alone. It may be great sport for you but it is a nuisance to any one also listening. Your own certain source of information presents us your favorite newspaper. Consult the programs and use them to enjoy your radio. INSTALLATION (Continued From Last Week). Best Type of Aerial. For the most reliable all-around reception, the outdoor aerial is local, the outdoor aerial is heat. A well-insulated wire between seventy-five and eighty feet long, including the lead-in, is ample for the moderate receiver. Longer wires are likely to give too low reception, and resulting in interference from stations operating on adjacent wavelengths. For the listener who does not desire to use an outdoor antenna, the indoor antenna is the easiest to install. With a sensitive set, a wire between fifteen and twenty-five feet strung about the moulding of the room will give reliable reception of local stations. The loop antenna is ideal and for this reason should receivers which are supplied with this type of antenna. They usually consist of several turns of wire wound in rigid form. Sets operating from such an antenna must be sensitive in order to give reception for this reason should be used only with the designed to operate from the loop. Another important factor in the operation of the new radio receiver is the ground connection. For ordinary receiving purposes in the average horn the ground connection suits. A ground should always be used with the electric set. While it may be found that good results may be obtained without it, its use will have the effect of filtering the signal which might filter through the apparatus. Where a water pipe is not available, a radiator may be used and will give results comparable to those obtained when water pipe is employed. A gas radiator is used because of its poor conductivity.

"College Intelligence" THIS morning I picked up some curtain hooks and other pieces of Pullman car furnishings lying on the floor near my berth, and said: "Porter, these things seem to belong to something somewhere." "Yes," replied the porter, in confidential undertones, "that's the result of some of that college intelligence that was in here last night!" It is certainly a keen situation when a Pullman pater has actual, sincere, and sober contempt for the conduct of American white college students, and contempt as justifiable as it is genial, because I believe or affection in this porter's contempt; it was unfeigned and complete. When I read in some magazine of Europe or America an exposure of the faulty education of American college youth, I am less moved than I was by the sincere disgust of this porter. European educators are telling us all along that our luxury universities, chairs, cushions, "drinks and things" stilling into our students chiefly jazz society, boxing ring manners, and parked-automobile morals. Real education—literature, science, and philosophy—cut the smallest figures in some of these schools now. This is no exaggeration: about half the army of American students would go on strike and leave our university everything was taken out of the "college life" except the really educating and elevating activities. But, let us take a look at the crowd that impressed this Pullman porter: some of them got on at South Bend, Ind., representing Notre Dame. About half of them were actually trying to "heat their way" east in the Pullman cars of an extra-fare train, and by the most naive and even absurd methods. Four of them would try to claim assignment to one lower berth on one ticket, after scattering themselves the tightropeway in the bathrooms, and other places, and so meeting the conductor at different times, as if the conductor did not keep notes. They had to pull two of these students out from under the berths, where the bags belong. They were endeavoring to "stow-away" and ride for nothing at all. One came rushing in like a madman and scrambled under a seat, even before the berths were made down, in great desperation as if somebody were chasing him to take his life. He begged and tried to come up for a passenger strangers to throw an object or something over his protruding feet, so that the conductors would not discover him. His childish desperation was actually unmanly, contemptible. What had happened? He and some of the others had taken the money which their folks had sent them to pay fares for Christmas, and spent it on a booze party or on that last automobile outing; and then instead of "taking their medicine," and acting like men and simply giving up the trip home, here they were, rushing, running about, bellowing and abbreviating, as if all their glizzards would burst, if they could not go home with the others. Then on further east another bunch of "college intelligence" got aboard, after midnight, when all the passengers had retired—some old men, women, and little children. That made no difference with them; they were college rufians, with a bit of cheap liquor in their stomachs. And so, heedless of the polite requests of the porter, they proceeded to raise bedlam: singing, yelling, marching, stamping, running from one end of ARE YOU INTERESTED IN OWNING SHARES IN A BROADCASTING STATION FOR HARLEN!

They not only destroyed quiet but destroyed property as well. She was reminded of the wit who said that all they learn about "the three R's" nowadays is "Rah-rah-rah!" I am not writing as one who does not sympathize with the spirit of young people. Many college students throughout this land know that they are my "hobby." And those that want to school with me my years ago will re-enter this land. I always led in rough, but many play. But I never felt that a mere beastly disregard of other people's welfare was sport. Somehow it never entered my head that to run through a hospital yelling and beating a tin pan would be "fun," or that I could get any real joy out of insulting an old man, knocking down a woman, or beating up a child. To finer natures there is a virtue. To insult a higherity would run over in plain brutality. Is American "college life" dulling the sense of our students for that distinction? Such exhibitions will make our "college intelligence" a by-word in other mouths besides that of the Pullman porter.

DELANY ADDRESSES VIRGINIA AUDIENCE DANVILLE, Va., Dec. 30—Hubert T. Delany, recent candidate for Congress from the 21st Congressional District, New York, addressed an enthusiastic audience at Danville, Va., Saturday evening.

Medical Science Saves French African Natives PARIS, Dec. 22-Thanks to French medical science, the population deficit in equational French Africa, registered in the vital statistics for this French colony up to 1921, has disappeared. Sleeping sickness, spread by the dreaded tsetse fly, has been the greatest doctors who have been striving to mend the total annual births exceed the total deaths. The number of doctors and nurses stationed in the colony has been more than doubled. The medical budget grew from 2,500,000 (about $100,000) francs in 1924 to 10,750,000 franc in 1928. During these four years, 2,403,000 natives were physically examined and 98,000 were treated for sleeping sickness. As a result, the population deficit has been less and a race which was facing extinction is now enjoying a normal annual growth. M. Raphael Antonetti, Governor General of the colony, announces that the "portage"—the use of natives as carriers and transporters of merchandise over long distances—has been abolished in Equatorial Africa, and the partial completion of the Congo French railroad, which traverse tropical forests and high mountains.—N.

The champions started off like the men's business, and scored many points before they allowed the visitors any, but as the game got older and warmer the visitors found the range of the basket, and were able to whistle blew ending the first half with the score 24 to 14 against them. The rest period seemed to have done a lot of good to the Scholastics, second half, and nearly ran the Collegians off their feet. They gradually cut down the big lead of the champions, until only a few points separated them but they lacked the timing to keep the Collegians were able to keep in the van. Eldridge of the Collegians was in rare form, and played an all round strong game, scoring five field goals and nine points, which gave him the individual high score of the evening. Gates, Goldberg, and H. Lewis of the visitors, each with ten points, starred for their team. In the preliminary, the "Y Cardinals defeated the Kings Highway Five by the score of 40 to 32. The Collegians will look horns with the strong Peerless A. C. Five, of the Brewers in an in-season afternoon at the Alhambra Ballroom court.

Exclusion of Negro Tennis Players From Junior National Tournament Brings Sharp Letter From the N. A. A. C. P. Barring of two young colored tennis stars from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tournament by the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association today brought a sharp letter of protest to that body from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 69 Fifth avenue. One of the boys, Gerald L. Norman, Jr., in captain of the Flushing High School tennis team and that school's sole representative in the tournament. The other is Reginald Welr of the City College of New York tennis team. Entries of both boys were accepted and payment of their fees received, and it was only when their names failed to appear in the draw published Sunday that it became known that they had been exchanged from the tournament. Gerald Norman, other of the players reports that he was informed by Edward B. Moss, Executive Secretary of the S. Lawn Tennis Association, that co-player players were not permitted to take part in that body's tournaments. The letter written by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and addressed to Mr. Moss Cherry characterized boys as an expression of "class and caste snobbery" such as is not relished by patrons of American sport. The AssociationSecretary, the Bagnall, AssociationSecretary, the Association, is in full as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is informed that the United States Lawmakers have sent from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tournament two young men, Reginald Weir of the City College Law School and Norman Jr., captain of the Flushing School team and that schools sole representative in the tournament. "The barring of these young men, we are informed, took place after the receipt of their payment had been acknowledged, on the ground that they are colored. Gerald Norman, the Flushing High School tennis captain, informed that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that you explicitly informed him that the United States law does not permit colored players to participate in national tennis tournaments. "The irony of the present situation will become the more pointed when it is known that Mr. Norman is himself tennis coach at the Bryant High School and that some of the white he has coached have been admitted and will play in the tournament.

Because the United States Lawn Tennis Association has admitted that Negroes have been barred from participation in championship tournaments, Robert W. Bagnall, associate secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a letter to U. S. L. T. A., yesterday declared that in his opinion the tournaments were not "national" because of the Negro ban. "You characterize this policy as being 'no reflection upon the colored race,'" the letter read, "but with this we cannot agree. There can only be two interpretations—snobbery and caste prejudice — or that there is a cowardly fear lest the group it is sought to stigmatize as inferior might produce a player who should take honorable rank or even the victory in such a public contest. "I need hardly tell you that under these conditions your tournaments are not national and cannot decide national championships. "I cannot refrain here from reiterating the conviction of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the color bar you have established and have now been obliged to publicly admit is one of prejudice from which all liberal and decent elements must strive unceasingly to purge the Nation." are told the two colored boys' names were omitted from the draw published in the Sunday newspapers, the action of the United States Lawn Tennis Association constitutes an SPECIAL! ADDITION ADDITIONAL SPORTS WILL BE FOUND ON OF THIS ISSUE ```markdown ``` action unfair, unsportsmanlike, and calculated to degrade the sport you enjoy to cultivate and against which we as cultivate and against Americans, white and colored, wish to protest in the strongest terms. Patrons of sport in this country do not public contests by a spirit of caste and class snobbery, and we are sure that the public, when informed of the methods used by the United States, do not quick to characterize those methods in the way they deserve. We are therefore giving copies of this letter to the public in question of the color and race bar a sport supposed to draw from the best the country can afford in youth and clean endeavor may be made a clean of open and public discussion." N. Y. Tennis Assn. Backs Up N. A. A. C. P. Protest Arthur E. Francis, president of the New York Tennis Association, which is affiliated with the American Tennis Association, has written a letter backing up the protest made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the barring of two young colored ten-niars stars from the National Junior Indoor Tournament. The letter of Mr. Francis, a copy of which he sent the N. A. A. C. P., is addressed to Edward B. Moss, executive secretary of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association, and characterizes the barring as "un-American, unsportsmanlike, narrow-minded and short-sighted," and says it will bring down just and long-continued protest on that body. Mr. Francis states that Reginald Weir, one of the young men barred, is considered potential Davis Cup champion by both the American, Allan Behr, and by the French Davis Cup team coach. "I am and the country is shocked at your recent action in barring these two young Negro players," writes Mr. Pankisio of the U. S. League Tennis Association, "and can only say to you in the words of the late Booker T. Washington, 'The only way to keep the Negro down is to stay down with him.' Other letters and messages endorsing the N. A. A. C. P. protest are being received, among them one from Sydney Strong, 'at the Hotel Wolcott, who says he is also writing to the U. S.

This engagement tops an all-star card of four champions. Matchmaker Martello had to go to the State Athletic Commission to consummate this match. The Gauden was after Smith and refused to relinquish its claim on his services to the Commission at its last meeting. Incidentally, Martello made another master matchmaking move in bringing Smith to the Halsey street club.

Commandeurs Trounce Montclair "Y" PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 28—The Commandeurs' bid for Eastern Amateur Basketball supremacy is by their show on Tuesday, judging by their show on Wednesday, the clear Big "Y" here Christmas night. The Comms defeated the "Y" by the score of 27 to 13. The opening sentence of this chapter reads, "In the game of over 500 fans who witnessed the game which captivated them and resulted in the Comms getting one of the finest ovations they ever received in Philadelphia." The team started out fast with the Comms passing in a way which took the Jersey boys by storm. The Comms used the phlox play almost extensively. It seemed at first that the Comms were the best players in the style of play, but they soon adapted themselves to the Coms' style. Time and again in the first half when it seemed that the Commandeurs were to make a match up, the game, Montreal would rally, and surprised the crowd with offensive tricks that always kept the soon close. The Coms led at half time it But in the second half the Compulled away to a big lead and in the closest minute of the games they threw safe, freezing the ball most of the time.

I well remember the rain storm at the close of the event, which a vivid imagination might have interpreted as tears at its impending dissolution. Today I have been similarly honored by the West Side Tennis Club in being chosen to perform the cup presentation ceremony at the annual tournament, along with an address. In the short time at disposal, however, it is not possible to say much about sports and games, their origin, relation to health and life, and their great influence on society. Games of one kind or another are doubtless as old as civilization. Viewed from various angles, outdoor games have been shown to be a mighty factor in promoting the welfare of communities, chiefly and most effectively in improving and conserving the health of those who indulge in them steadily and systematically and, notably, in evolving what may be termed the cornerstone of sport—eliminating differences that thereby make the letter sports and nobler sportsmanship. More and more people the world over are mobilizing for sport; from the Farthest East, where women are casting off their veils and taking to the outdoors, to the Golden West, where the term million as a designation for easy wealth has been changed to billion, with the arrow pointing still higher. Just by way of casually naming a few places, I may say that in Germany young people have taken to sport as a cult for (by some) even mute worship. Spain's Dictator has ordered a change in ways of living by suppressing late club hours and urging more participation in sports; while Italy's Duce has forbidden the wearing by women of short translucent dresses and enjoined healthful outdoor recreation. Quite recently in Japan the Emperor set a precedent by attending the competitive annual games tournament which lasted a week and in which fifty thousand of the greatest athletes of the empire took part. The Emperor is a sport enthusiast, and one of the royal family is called the sporting prince. As for our own United States all are familiar with the leading place it occupies in the sport world—and the fabulous prices paid for sport. If, as commonly said, America is money-mad, it may as truly be claimed that she is sport-mad, women even often outclassing men in championship events: Alluding to ourselves, we find sports in vogue far back in local history. Over half a century ago the Reformed Dutch Church school had a well-equipped play ground. The public schools now have a fine one, and feature competitive games. The first cricket club in St. Thomas dates back several decades, added to as the years went by with girls' clubs, too. Football came next, and with the change of flag followed naturally the national game—baseball, and as you see, tennis and golf are now well established, with splendid results. In all games our boys have shown clever adaptation and a development of skill that carried them over the top in several major events against cricket visiting teams. These remarks would be incomplete did I not make a personal allusion to myself just to mention how deeply I regret being unable to play any outdoor game, and how I envy those who can. The intensive studies of scientists and dietitians in showing how people, through biologic living and physical self-training, may live at least a hundred years, makes my regret all the keener. But I never had a chance—mine was a busy life from childhood to the present time. Wherefore, my appreciation and encouragement to those who recognize the intimate relation of games to good health. If the axiom that a man who knows two languages is worth in business two men, the fresh air sport may, as concerns health, claim to be worth the same, or more. Bernarr MacFadden, widely known authority on physical culture, and how to keep fit and become a centenarian, gives ten suggestions that will ensure robust longevity, namely: Daily cold bathing, wholesome eating, occasional fasting, horseback riding, hill climbing, hiking, swimming, dancing, gymnastics, all outdoor games. Additional safeguards: no smoking, no drinking. George Bernard Shaw, famous writer and critic, at 73, attributes his perfect health to rugged living, daily swim and sunbath, sprinting. One of America's intellectuals, the late Chauncey Depew, at the age of 60, feeling his health declining, wondered why and began worrying. He recalled that his grandfather had died of worry, his father had died of worry and, fearing he too might go that way, began taking himself in hand. He was an inveterate smoker—puffed away twenty cigars a day. After hard trial he parted with the favorite weed. He liked liquor, but banned that promptly. In place of gloom he resolved to cultivate cheerfulness and the outdoors habit until his death at 90, having become famous as a humorist. Such experience and sound advice should serve as a message to most of you, friends, to appreciate at full value the priceless combination of games, good humor and good health. It will make you alert, peppy, radiate sunshine, banish the blues. If you need more, take the comics, and if, despite all, discouragement seems to approach, turn to that fount of incomparable inspiration — The Psalms. MOORE LEADING STARS IN SPECIAL TWO-MILE RACE The 1930 indoor track season will go away to a good start next Saturday (January 4) at the 23rd Recreation Center, athletic and Bedford avenues. The Columbus Council K. of C. stages its more annual indoor meet, with more than 500 athletes, including many National teams.

The New York Amsterdam News ADDITIONAL NEWS OF BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND Man Who Continued to Honor Memory Of Beecher Died in Brooklyn Last Week Man Who Continued to Honor Memory Of Beecher Died in Brooklyn Last Week B'klyn Elks Make Final Payment on Fulton Street Home Acquired Some Time Ago William C. Henry, born a slave on a plantation in Beaufort, N. C., who devoted his life to celebrating emancipation, left his betterment, died Friday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Simon. $3 Fulfillment he was in his $80th year, his birthday the birthday of George Washington. Funeral services were held at Bridge Street church between Myrtle avenue and 10th Street, and burial was in Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. Henry came into public notice about three years ago when the Brooklyn Times revealed it was he who placed the statue of Henry Ward Beecher in Borough Hall Park early every New Year's Day. As a result of honorizing the memory of Brooklyn's champion of colored ennunciation he observed for more than a quarter of a century, Always the wreath was placed on Jan. 1, the ennunciation Proclamation, thus honoring at the same time the memory of Abraham Lincoln. Beecher status will not go without its wreath this year. The passing of "Uncle Bill" has transformed what began as an individual tribute into a tradition and an institution. Already has announced in his book Sims has announced two more plaques wreth this New Year's. And in years to come it is hardly likely that the colored residents of Brooklyn will forgo the statue of Henry Ward Beecher and "Uncle Bill." While almost forgotten by the present generation, outside of colored circles, Mr. Henry was well known several decades ago. Coming to Brooklyn 50 years ago, he was the old Eighth Ward of Brooklyn. He was active in the republican affairs, for many years being the Republican leader of the colored voters of the old Eighth Ward, and he took a prominent part in all movements for the colored people in this borough. His remarkable achievement was the part he played more than 50 years ago in the agitation Last week, Brooklyn Fraternal Lodge No. 32. Inc., met the last of the notes which it gave in final payment to the man Construction Co. Inc., for the renovating, reconstruction and remodeling of its home at 1088-1079 North Wall street, according to Counsel Oliver D. William, of 97 Wall street, New York City, who is the attorney for the lodge. The board of trustees were much elated as they interviewed the vax instructors in the space board room of the lodge and upkicked the notes of the lodge as they were presented for payment. They were profuse in their congratulations to the instructors once upon deducting $1,500 from the amount which the lodge agreed to pay the contractor, the basis for the deduction being a clause insisted upon by the contract was drawn, which provided that $50 a day was to be deducted for every day's delay on the part of the contractor completing the building beyond the time stipulated for its completion. The building as it now stands is practically new. All of the floors, doors and fixtures, warm-up ceilings, furniture and fixtures, part of its four stories of imitation white stone, surmounted by an Elk's head, make an imposing appearance on the building. It is the only building of its kind in Brooklyn, and is a fitting monument for local Elkdom. The ground floor is fitted up as a cafe, with a large window every afternoon and evening. On Saturday and Sunday the lodge conducts a cafeabell which has been filled to capacity for the opening of the main ballroom, floor four, main ballroom, finished in gold and green craftex, with a highly polished floor and elaborate lighting system. The building is used by the Elks' Club, but rented to outside organizations, are on the third floor. On the fourth floor is a large recording studio, radio, piano, pool and billiard tables, refreshment counter, reading for the elimination of "Jim Crow" schools in Brooklyn and for the admission of colored children to all schools, Mr. Henry lived in a moving contractor, working chiefly for the Chandler Plano Co. Since 1920 he had been employed at the Growlers Club, 47 West Sixth street, Manhattan. Mr. Henry lived with his brother, Pierre Henry, at 560 Washington avenue. The latter is a Civil War veteran, having served as "powder monkey" in the Civil War. He beaunt Harbor during the war, and later for 21 years as a member of the New York police force. He slept in memories of the old South in his childhood, the coming of the war to Beaunt, the enmineination, and his mother, Ann Henry, "as good a cook of his childhood, the State of North Carolina," weeping for us, because she and her children were free. The yearly wreath on the monument to Henry Ward Beecher was more than an important thanks offering to the benefactor of his race. The famous pastor of Plymouth Church knew Mr. Henry personally, called him familiarly "Henry," and had him come to his home. The respect and affection of his fellow in adequately indicated by the number of the positions he held in various organizations. Mr. Henry was past noble father of the Greater United Order of Old Fellows, a world-wide organization to which persons of all races are admitted. He was likewise a member of the Council of this order. He was past president of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, president of the Emancipation Association, devoted to observance of the anniversary of the emancipation; past master of Widow Son Lodge II, F. and A. M., and chairman of the Relief Association of the Bridge St. African M.E. Church. Surviving him, in addition to his brother, are three daughters, Mrs. Mary Simon, Mrs. Sophie Phelph and Mrs. Ruth Lewis; one son, William C. Henry Jr., and nine grandchildren. material, and other facilities for recreation and enjoyment on the part of the members. Also on the fourth floor are the executive and administrative offices, used by the officers of the lodge. To the board of trustees and building committee, including the Exalted Ruler, were entrusted the responsibility of completing the task, and with the consultation and advice of Counselor Williams they did their work well. The board of trustees is comprised of Benjamin F. Butler, Jr., chairman; Robert L. Zeno, secretary; P. D. Early, William McFarland, and Warren Dillard. The building committee appointed by Exalted Ruler Joseph M. Washington included George E. Wibecan, chairman; James H. Williams, Dr. Roland Johnson, Dr. A. M. Jacobs, William H. Banks, E. Watkins, W. H. Butler, A. Q. Martin, and A. Buchanan.

David Brown Lodge and Juanita H. of R. Sunday, January 5 Matinee Dance, Afternoon Basketball-and Dance, Night The members of the Brooklyn Research Society held their final meeting for the year last Friday evening, Dec. 27, at their headquarters, 488 Carlton avenue. Many interesting and unusual features were adopted at the current meeting, all of which seemed to indicate a happy outlook for the ensuing year. Beresford Jemott of Shaw University and Seth C. Edwards of Morgan College, who came to the city in order to spend the holiday season with relatives and Friends and also to attend this special B. R. S. meeting, were in attendance. The latter attended a conference in Europe, Race Unity and Education. Clarence Lashley of Meharyar Medical College was unable to attend this meeting, account of his absence from the city. Ira L. Gibbons, research director, spoke in behalf of the B.R.S. Annual, in honor of which will make its debut in 1300 which he heads the committee on ways and means for the ensuing fiscal year but no one has been appointed as yet. He is the chair of the pass committee. Secretary John Padarath has submitted his thesis on "The Problems of India," which represents the basis of research done here. He has written over two thousand words. This article is now appearing in the "East Indian Weekly." A research article on the problems of the society will appear in the February issue of the "Journal of Chemical Education," published by Johns Hopkins University, and deals with the development of a man of an anhydrous chemical salt. The society has reported favorably on the concerted efforts now being made to improve the borough toward unified and cooperative work. Particularly has this spirit made itself manifest during the efforts of the Acme Associates' Club Students' Literary and Debating League and the Arista Art Club. The hopeful that the efforts of all will come to fruition during the new year. House Warming Party To Hempstead Couple The Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of Zion M. E. Church at Hempstead, L. I., gave a surprise party in the form of a house warning to Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Willard, who recently moved into their new home on Mill road. A purse made up by the members of the club and friends was presented to Mrs. Willard by Mrs. Mary Cuffy. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wharton, Miss Juanita Wharton, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Crummell, Mrs. Mary Cuffy, Mrs. Annie Johnson, Rev. and Mrs. M.

H. Calvert. Wibecan Denies Statement A statement appearing in The Amsterdam News last week to the effect that George E. Wibecan sought to be a member of a meeting of the Kings County Republican organization by the assertion that "he was born in Brooklyn" was denied by Mr. Wibecan this week. From Mr. Wibecan's explanation it can readily be seen that such a statement could be warped to suit persons with a grievance against him. The fact that he stated that he has been a member of the work for the advancement of his race all his life, prefacing it that he was born here, should not be accepted to mean that he sought to be a member of the very man he was suggesting for office came from the South. West Point, N. Y. Corporal and Mrs. Lawrence Green gave a birthday party Thursday evening, December 19, in honor of her sister, Elizabeth. The honor were 1st Sergt. Grizzle, and Mrs. M. T.

Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Hannah Jordan, Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Phillips. Menu was served of chicken salad and potato salad, candies and salted nuts. An enjoyable evening was had by everyone. U. S. Court Decree Favors Telephone Rate Increase A final decree was filed Friday in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the case of the New York Telephone Company to effect the decision of the court announced on November 11, 1920. The decree states the value for rate making purposes of the property used by the company and the classes of service for which the Public Service Commission had fixed the rates complained against by the company. Such value is found by the company. It have been $400,751,699 as of July 1, 1926, and $475,500,000 as of July 1, 1928. The Court states that 7 per cent is the fair return to be earned by the company, and 30 per cent is the property. Having found that the present rates have fallen short of earning such return the court deferred the payment, contended and invalid and enjoins the company for further forcement. The degree further permits the company to increase its rates, such extent as may be necessary, earn the return specified by the Court. "Color in Jamaica, B. W. I." Ivan Lloyd Takes Issue With Statement of Vere Johns on Conditions in the Island To the Editor of The Amsterdam News An article appeared in your issue of Dec. 18, from the pen of Mr. Vere Johns, a Jamaican, who wrote of the social problems confronting the day. With your commission, I am desirous of commenting on the letter for at least two reasons. One is, that the question is a more general one than Mr. Johns thinks and really no different from that obtaining in other countries where the imperialist meets the colonial for purposes of exploitation. My second reason is, that the question of color and class has been so misrepresented in the press that a repudiation of his letter by a Jamaican who knows the facts and is willing to admit them is necessary. As a matter of general principle, it must be granted that the population of any country is roughly divisible into three groups: First, is that privileged one-tenth which owns nine-tenths of the property of the state; second, the masses, or working class, which tolls and is the real producer of the country, and standing somewhere in the middle, the vaccinating, non-producing, which readily assumes leadership of the masses and as readily betrays it to the oppressor group, already termed the aristocracy. Mr. Johns, I am sure, has enough good sense not to lay claim to membership in the island's aristocracy since, though he does not admit it, I must take this opportunity to assert, is based solely on race and color. His attitude, judged from the general tone of his letter, shows that he has deserved the ranks of workers whose progeny he is, so that, by elimination, he speaks as a representative of the middle class, to which I previously referred. Disregard of facts and intentioned blindness to the true situation reveals in Mr. Johns the infallible traits of the typical middle-class individual, who is the bane and plague not only of Jamala but also of all colonial countries being exploited and trampled underfoot by the capitalist aristocracy. Without any true allegiance to the aristocracy, he has passed the job to the working class, from whose ranks he has sprung, he continually plays a dual role, facing both ways, straddling the fence and bound for nowhere. His treachery 'to the working class secures him a living at the hands of capitalist taskmasters, the aristocracy, and so long as he lives by getting jobs from the government and other preferment, it matters not whose cause he betrays. As a color group he ranges from the darkest dark to the fairest fair, the latter being the most dangerous. He occupies the front pews and instructs the other church lackeys to see to it that no black man finds his way to that preferred section. In our high schools he is the teacher and spreads his virulent middle-class propaganda from that high pedestal. Fortunately, our primary education is still in the hands of teachers who represent the workers. In our judiciary he is the most severe judge, more secretiary, more private, where he lakey he is. In our political life he is pacificic and betrays the cause of the people and is ever ready to club into acquiescence the protesting proletarian group. And, lastly, he is the chief opponent of improved social conditions for the workers of the country. He cannot see why the workingman cannot be contented to live forever in his shack in the slums, under bad hygienic condition, and unable to himself food clothing and shelter on two shillings a day, the equivalent of fifty cents in American money. After commenting in a general way, I shall now make more specific references to some of the points raised by this newly accredited exponent of self-satisfied middle-class philosophy. What does Mr. John mean when he says that "the English in Jamaica were never confronted with a color problem?" Maybe he means that the unreliable middle class, whose views are represented by the emperor of Jamaica, colonies in general and Jamaica in particular, have provided the necessary antagonism to the aspirations of the black masses. Again, he states that "the metamorphosis from slave to citizen was a rapid one." Surely, Mr. Johns ought to know that colonials have not the right of citizenship and are not even officially styled citizens. He looks at his passport which admitted him to this country and he will see there, in plain black and white, not British citizen but British subject, which, in truth, we are as a subjugated and exploited people. That much credit I will give to the frankness of the British imperialist. "There is hardly anyone, the Garveyites being most graciously excepted, who would not resent be, Mr. Johns. This rounds me up. Mr. Johns, this incident which occurred in a grade school where I was most; for in my school days at home in Jamaica, a class of about two dozen pupils Page Fifteen ore Ready to e Starter NG ISLAND aica, B. W. I." ue With Statement of Conditions in Island had a reading lesson which dealt with the races. The pupils were, of course, all Negro. These pupils all readily admitted knowledge of the Hindu, the Chinese, the Gaucaisans and others, but stood bewildered when asked if any had ever seen a Negro. The teacher explained to them that they all were. So much for a rotten system of education, coupled with the Engle-land propaganda which endeavors to teach black skins white sentiments to the black to which race they belonged. They Garveyives deserve the tribute given them, but so does the entire Negro working class of the Island. To continue with the views of this middle-class philosopher I must further quote: "The only urge they (the Jamaicans) posis is the urge to whiten their skin, which ninety-one out of every hundred Jamaicans live one big desire, and that is to someone of a lighter hue than themselves." I must give Mr. John credit for knowing the syphocapital middle class to which he belongs extremely well but, on the other hand, he knows just as litlety as any other working class. This statement is not true on the masses of the country and, as one of their number, I beg to repudiate it with all the vehemence at my command. It is the middle-class group which whitens the skin, can afford to whiten the skin and which seeks a fair-skinned mate, which is still innocent, and with good leadership, will forever be innocent of such traitorous middle-class tricks. If Mr. Johns thinks the British Government has got more and more tolerant toward color, let him glance at South Africa and note well the different anti-racial laws already in existence and those introduced during the year just coming to a close, not to mention the brutal and bloody shooting of fifteen native women by the British soildery on the eve of this very Christmas. As a crusader of middle-class prestige and claims to preferment at the hands of the English explotters, Mr. Johns certainly runs true to form in the views he expresses and in his expresses them. Commenting the attitude of American visitors to our island he refers to their admiration for "the really fine colored ladies and gentlemen and the respectful Negro peasant." Note well that the ladies and gentlemen who are really fine are colored and respectful, not respectable, peasanty is respectful, lowing his explanation that "colored," in Jamaica as in all British countries, means those of mixed ancestry. This might have been unintentioned, but there is an old saying that the truth will will. Mr. John's statement conveys in a surreal, accurate way the attitude of this "reserved" colored "middle-class group toward the respectful Negro peasant. There is, in truth, so much that is erroneous in his article that one could go on in this strain indefinitely. Nevertheless, I shall make just one more reference. He enumerates the five most important posts in the island which he believes will always be held by Englishmen. Among these he mentions the posts of Governor, Chief Justice and Bishop of the Episcopal Church. He further states that the exclusion of the native from these highest posts of the government of his country is due neither to race nor race but is merely a "matter of police". Sometimes I wonder whether these middle-class philosophers and misleaders of the people are really "taken in", and hoodwinked to such an extent by the English exploiters or whether such an attitude is the result of corruption and intention to mislead the masses. Fortunately, Mr. Johns has just enough good-sense not to attempt to explain just what this "matter of policy" is. If he had, it would deliberately give the lie to his contention that in Jamaica there is no prejudice. And, not only in our office alone, our ordinary social life, a segregative pursued. I suppose it would astonish Mr. Johns to know that we have in Jamaica at least one prominent Jim Crow high school and that less recently there were others; that our Rhode's Scholarships and our Jamaica scholarships to the priests are awarded on a Jim Crow basis; that even the priests of the Episcopal church, which he mentions, are selected similar criteria. I could multiply instances, but to what purpose. Certainly, all is nob well in Denmark. As a member and exponent of middle-class reactionary policies Mr. Johns succeeds well, but to tack on to the working class a middle-class label is to libel the only worth-worth element in our population. It is that very element which fought and won for Haiti his independence, and it is this very element which shall win for us colonial freedom, a thing which Mr. Johns and his group evidently do not desire, since they feel that all is well.

Smith in Big Bout at the Broadway ARCADIANS CLOSED YEAR WITH VICTORY OVER BERMUDA Smith in Big the Broa ARCADIANS CL WITH VICTORY If you were in doubt as to whether basketball would take in Brooklyn or not, your answer was at Arcadia Hall, where the score of 38-29, before a large crowd of New Arcadians of Brooklyn defeated the Bermuda Big Five, formerly the original Buffaloes of New York, for the score of 38-29, before a basketball loving fans. The crowd was first awakened by Professor J. Cordy Williams and his team, which defeated the boys were in their respective Granville Brown introduced the players E. H. Wilson, Jr, the former Boys' Work secretary of the Brooklyn team, that blew off the lid of basketball in Brooklyn for good. A few seconds after the game was under way George McClannery brought two baskets from Brooklyn to the end of the first half found the enjamin of Arcadians a 4-point lead over their rivals and sent interest, skyward. The Arcadians were never in doubt after the score fell to the enjamin of comfortable lead, the score being 17 to 8. The second half brought the folks to their feet more than once, there being no end to the thrills it furried. It was plainly evident that the Bermuda players were out to win making three baskets before the Arcadians had gotten themselves together, and business began to pick up, Captain Corbin called time out and shot out. But they talk the boys came back, and they went out minutes before the boys came to themselves. But at this stage of the game the Bermudians were not to be denied and continued their driving attack, making basket for basket with the Arcadians until Y. Cory was fouled under their goal and making good the basket and both free tries that put the Bermudians in the Speakin' o' Battles By the Editor SOME people will tell you that a controversy has no place in print; that it is entirely out of line; that the tenors of highbrow journalism decreme that it is nothing to sneer clear of; that in other words, to be a critic, which to this writer is simply an evidence of those same people having lost the human touch—if they ever had it. There was a time in the life of the New Yorker, when it went to the top and outstripped every other publication in this city in his world of sport in a remarkably short time, and all because of a heated controversy, the youngsters in the world kept their distance between Dougherty and Briggs, the latter a master of wit and satire, who contributed a great deal in bringing out those things which made possible the contest of a competitor that carried on a hard fight in the first Nedal alderman in this city. A controversy arose between the learned Dr. Dubols and those who claimed he sought a captainship for the French in World War I; a controversy between two editors, one a graduate of Harvard University, became so hot that a committee of his henchmen waited on the editor's behalf, and his opponent had the ear of the people and something would have to be done to impress "the people." Result was a suit for thousands of dollars—a suit, like the suit of his kind, staged as an empty gesture and one which never came to trial. Recently such a powerful journal as the New York World, in behalf of certain French writers, staged an effort of something for the same critics to strage a battle of words over, the state of the present-day stage not offering anything worth while differing over. In the early days of this republic, we find that not only did journalists engage in heated controversies but that they even led to the field of honor. Of course we had far enough to battle with words only. From the United States Senate we have had men in controversies using such strong terms one of the parties in the Senate has been known to take away the bad taste of a certain section referred to in virulent language by a prominent Senator. The trouble with some of us sons of Uncle Sam is place a little removed from the experience we try to change civilization over night by the strange route of trying to change human nature. A Harvard graduate and one of our publications not only became aware of the sidelined unfair where he is concerned but tried to bring in the personal life of his opponent. This we do not subscribe to, but is cited as an instance to prove human nature is the same the world over. A representative of the New York ```markdown ``` COURAGE TONIC Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.

Mr. Shaw replied that men must stop fighting, and right there the great man fell down. No matter how ignorant the individual reading these few lines, even he will know that the world over must experience an entire change of heart before war will ever end. With their greed for African land and their just for black women the world over must experience other places; with their prejudices and their desire for wealth, war will go on to the end of time. Thousands and thousands of people patronize prize fighting, all because a war can be so much more intense when two newspapers engage in the exchange of a few words there are just as many reading to see how high the mind can go in the battle or how much scared about everybody else; then why should one between newspapermen assume the holier than thou attitude and a writer try to be a hypocrite by stating that he is very much concerned? All during the late summer and early fall a controversy was waged over the University's prestigious football team, whose concern, but our learned superior minds had nothing to say; also when local societies, despite the tendency to engage in football, caught stalking matter from these columns, insist in making much of the man causing the offense; when the big special mention, yes, these are the things not seen by those who would bring to Negro journalism, just in its babyhood, a super-perfection not enjoyed by those who had followed it, and had better follow if we want to last.

In trying to ape certain superior traits of the white man we gloss over things so necessary for true progress. Reminds the writer of a conversation on the south avenue the other night. Thus: "Oh, Sad, I hear you are living in Jamaica, L. I." "I certainly am, and after a little while we'll be owning the house where we live." "Sall right, chile, but those had streets just get on my nerves. Not for me." "Yea, bad streets, all right, some of them, but I notice hundreds of pretty white hats and their father, brother, girl and I am sure that's why we have to pay so much when we wait for them to lay the sidewalks. I wonder how those white folks manage to live without those sidewalks that's why we have to continue to own the world. I wonder." No cause for wonder in that. Too many of us pose on Seventh avenue while people like Saddle are emerging from a condition which we have suffered too long. And the same thing holds good anywhere throughout the width and breadth of the street, receives anywhere the support which it should at the hands of a people suffering the greatest fills in this country, human touch, brother.

CAVALRY QUINT PASSAIC 'Y' O CAVALRY QUINT SLAUGHTERS PASSAIC 'Y' ON HOME COURT By AUBREX J. CARPENTER WEST POINT, N. Y., Dec. 26—The Passaic "Y" started the season with a winning streak, defending some of the best teams in Jersey. Prior to this game Manager Hightower boasted of closing the season without a defeat. His dreams might be fulfilled to take on the West Pointers. The Passaic victims are the Paterson Monarchs, Hebrew A. C., Immergente, J. J., and the Hackensack G. I. Of the three best game was with the Monarchs. The Cavalry "Five" trimmed the Monarchs, Dec. 7 at West Point, 54 yards from the Cavalry. The Passaic "Y" 62 to 18. Cavalry second team, having an advantage of 52 to 17, started the third quarter by passing that find the visitors' puzzer. Cavalry's Cavalry second team stars, added ten more points to the already half a hundred. The Cavalry Orchestra, under the direction of Stark Surgt, H. C. Harper, furnished the music for the occasion. First-C. White (captain), Cavalry ace, started the mill with two foul shots. Miller, Passaic center, evened things up with a long field shot. The most interesting feature of this quarter was the wonderful blocking of Fenter, Cavalry's ten second forward. Both teams displayed excellent passing ability.

AUGUSTINE, Fla. Dec. 24—New York racegoers, and those in Maryland, Kentucky and Illinois, too, could check off on the fingers of one hand the number of Negro jockeys for the race, and those riding steeplechasses on the fingers of two. Twenty or thirty years ago the number ran well up to the hundreds. Fashions in racing change as in everything else. Probably in a few instances, for the race, an appearance from the racetracks entirely, although there always will be plenty of colored rubbers and stable hands. Some say the passing of the Negro jockeys was caused by the strenuous action of the white boys, who banded against them and "froze them out." In the days before the Civil War most of the racing was in the South, and there all the riders were Negro slaves. Even in the North the majority of the war the Negro began to experience the competition that his gradually driven him out of the profession. However, the history of the American race has many colored riders capable of holding their own in the best company. From the seventies to the middle nineties the American turf had a flock of good and some great Negro jockeys. Isaac Murphy, Johnny Stowal, James Linn Jones, Willie Simms, Tiny Williams, Monk Overton, Emanuel Morris, Bob Isom, Felix Carr and Chevalier were the standouts of that period. Murphy's Great Victories Rank Him as Leader. The old-timers say that Isaac Murphy was one of the greatest riders that ever piloted a thoroughbred. As a result of his success, he himself. In the long history of the Kentucky Derby he is the only jockey that ever rode three winners of the classic-Buchanan in 1884, Riley in 1890 and Kingman in 1891. On four occasions he rode his mounts to victory in the American Derby in 1884, Volante in 1885, Silver Cord in 1886 and Emperor of Norfolk in 1888. He also won the Saratoga Cup in 1881 on Checkmate and in 1886 on Volante and the Brooklyn Derby in 1890 on Emperor of Norfolk. Willie Simms, the horse, rode in a later day and is remembered by many of the present crop of race- IT SLAUGHTERS ON HOME COURT CARPENTER this period—17 to 5, in favor of the Cavalry. Second—"Big" Beneficid, Cavalry center, caged three field goals in succession. The visitors started a long pass drive and totaled 8 points. Slappy, Passalc's guard, had a flying time keeping up with Fenter. Fenter's speed, deliberation and accuracy were marvelous. The Cavalry doubled her score in this session, making the percentage 34 to 12. Third-C. White started with quick passes and made the first basket. The visitors made several tackles, batting for Miller and Thomas. Benefield got a big ovation when ever he made a point (and they were many). The quantity of it was just about 20 matches from looking in the basket. Hightower looked rather worried and at this junction Corporal Witt, Cavalry manager, put his hand out. Score at this period, 52 to 17. Fourth-C. The Cavalry second team took the floor but the slaughter continued. Graves, Cavalry forward, just could be stopped. He caged three field goals and Hightower, Passale manager, went in for Slappy, but the more replacement made the more points the team scored. The guard blocked a shot from the basket as the whistle blew for time. im on Interfraternal Alpha Phi Alpha Here Columbia received quite a hand when he was rushed into the game in the second half to save Alpha, but the best goal. Columbia contributed one point, so closely did Sigma guard him and the other Alpha men. Alpha led at half-time 11 to 10, but early in the second half Sigma held and kept it until the final whistle, soo were to Alpha's 19 in the final period. On Xmas Day at the Renaissance Casino Phi also defeated Kappa 39-26. The star of this game was Bob Drain, who scored 20 points. Avery Sigma and Work of Kappa were next high scorers, with 14 points apiece. Keep an eye open for the next Sigma game, which will probably be again. Onga, who they will have to defeat, will probably claim to inter-fraternal champions. Attorney James W. Johnson, Henry R.

Mum characterized their former meeting on Thanksgiving night was lacking, due to many causes. Cooper, the star center of the champions, was suffering from a boil that slowed him to the point of Conaty, both stars on the Visitation team, nurse injuries that kept them out of the lineup, nevertheless it was a good game and gave the fans a chance of excitement because the Renshaw topped the early stages of the first half when the visitors opened up a lead on them of seven to two at one stage of the game and twelve to seven at the Rens by one of their celebrated players downs its lead to close the first half in front by the score of 21 to 14. The second half found both teams playing evenly, and the Rens increased their total by 22 points, while the Rams decreased their total by 22 points. A marked similarity is shown in the comparison of the two games played between the teams. Our Thanksgiving night the Rens scored 25 and the Rams scored 24, halves respectively, and the Visitation twelve and thirteen. Christmas night the Rens scored 21 and the Rams scored 14 and 14. This shows the true strength of both teams. Sunday night the Detroit Warriors, a colored team from the Wolverine State, showed their wares before a celebration of the rules. The Detroit players performed creditably, were fast and shifty and presented two very good shots in Finney and Prater, but were far behind the coliseum of the World's Colored State, where they won by the score of 59 to 39. At half time the count was 28 to 21 in favor of the Rens. Cooper and Fancey enjoyed a big night, the team won 88 to 60, foils, and the latter 7 and 3, for a total of 18 and 17 points respectively. Prater with 15 points, and Finney with 13, were the high scorers for the visitors. New Year's night the Rens will line up against the famous Philadelphia Hebrews (Sphias), leaders of the Pennsylvania League, who are bringing to the casino a crack aggregation of ball tossers in an effort to win the champions on their home court. Sunday night next the Chicago Bruins, with Kellett, Russell, Hickey, Kennedy and Wickehorst, all start in the casino to tackle the Rens, and this should be a great game. Two very interesting preliminary games were played on Christmas day, the last game was a hectic battle between the 'XX Cardinals and the Metro-Diamonds, which resulted in a victory for the Cardinals, and a loss to 28, the first half ending 14 to 15 against the winners. Sunday night the Metros also lost a close one to the Cardinals, and the last 18. This latter game hurt them, as it sent them down to second place in the standing of the Eastern Colored Leagues, and tied for first place before the game. At half time the score was 7 to 6, in favor of the winners. Renaissance. Goals Fouls Total Ricks 3 3 9 Satche 2 2 11 Cooper 1 2 4 Jenkins 4 3 11 Mayers 2 1 6 Totals 16 11 43 Visitations.

Larry Johnson Furnished Big Surprise Last Friday The surprise of the night at Madison Square Garden last Friday night was furnished by Larry Johnson, college basketball coach, who knocked out Joe Sekyra, well known light-heavyweight, for the first time in his career. The end came in one minute and forty-six seconds of the first half of their scheduled ten-rounds. Sekyra had the better of the scrimmaging until Johnson boomed the right to the jaw that finished over on his hands and knees, and at nine tried gamely to get up, but he dropped again, and was counted out. Thus Johnson became a star low, and apparently hits much harder than some heavyweights. In his dressing room after the fight Sekyra asserted that a lucky punch beat him, and been promised a return engagement. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY AST pion Arcadians in Victu Over Fast Bermuda JUST HOLIDAY RAMBLIN BY THE EDITOR Arcadians in Victory Over Fast Bermuda 5 JUST HOLIDAY RAMBLINGS JUST HOLIDAY RAMBLINGS By THE EDITOR AT this time of the year, when Christians are supposed to be fired with the Christmas spirit, there is something iconical in the barring of young Gerald Forman and the girls. We form an petition in junior tennis activities on the indoor courts. Strange though it will seem, Jacobs, the young Jew, has been carrying on to the cheers of the crowd. AND instead of crying aloud to high heaven at this injustice, let us resolve on this, the first day of the New Year, to emulate the example of the forebears of young Jacobs and acquire that necessary part of Christian encouragement, to wit: Money, and plenty of FOR it has been written in the stars that while the Negro is blissfully ignorant of the power behind the coin of the realm the Jew continues to pile it up and we find him demanding and demanding for pills. We look at us. Twelve million strong, we stand with the great majority, having given of blood and treasure to help make the Republic what it is today, yet the white part of the world, will immediately enjoy rights we are pleading for. NOTHER good resolution to make on this day is to face the truth and nothing but the truth of the conditions ourselves into believing we have been living. Unable to present a united front physically, mentally or materially than that lost tribe of Biblical faith, if you want the inspiration which will help you during the year, sit down and read the Bible to the Honorable Queen for best service to your dowerful speech in Congress touching on the Haitian situation. Yes, this is the sporting prize and the editor is asking for good sport in every sense of the word. S FUNNY how the local Boxing Commission can show such wonderful speed in trying to uphold the dignity of the cancelloflower industry, when a man with a cancello was an empty gesture made in holding up the money of Tod Morgan and Benny Bass, but we also know the Boxing Association has aukase against George Gofrey, or Young Jack Thompson. Even the palace white newspaper writers suffer a hape of memory when the down court judge asks them to should not be allowed to meet Jack Fields at the Temple of Swat in our fair city. Out there from where Thompson was, he should meet Jack Dempsey as often as he wanted to, and even Jack will confide that he had the devil's own time waiting from Willie on more than one oceans. OH, well, the Negro is apparently serving a good purpose in the United States. Always he is over present to be used as the horrible example. When the Baumes Law went into effect the first man (and unjustly, they tell me) was a Negro. "Dear Old Dixie, Dear Old Dixie L-a-n-d," it was always a Negro to be offered up as the sacrifice, from hanging to the chain gang. INTRODUCING, ladies and gentlemen. Larry Johnson, the latest Black Menace in boxing, who will be in no doubt that he is no longer a brother has anything to do with it. A good colored friend is used as the stepping stone for poor white hopes, but moments of ambition allow him to be the class challenger the heaten Chineses could learn a great deal from the tricks used by our white Christian brothers to keep the colored men out of the way. Johnson boy had the tenacity to unork a right swing on the jaw of Sekyra at Madison Square Garden the other night and the money she gave to another chance at the Garden pronto, but will he get it? Sure, when we get the money those once-famous-recon-bedekel-actors us ow for us the Alhambra Theatre for that time. BY the way, those of you with a pendant for adding to your enjoyment before the year is old should turn to our theatrical pages and read the letter from J. Mercer Burrell touching with a writer who deliberately stole our stuff from these columns and uncovered all kinds of funny capers when his shoulders were plumed to the mast. Mr. Burrell has made one mistake in his writing: he wrote the name of our erstwhile friend in the same breath with that of Messrs. Briggs and Hooks. LET your memory serve you right and you will recall that both Briggs and Hooks were gentlemen worthy of the title "Miss Briggs." Well and it was a matter of healthy connection which brought on the war which raged in the time of the lamented "Triple Alliance." Had Hooks been able to remain on the publication with which he worked, he would have reached that place where great consideration would have had to be shown, while Briggs can return tomorrow and the world would know that a man with unusual ability stands to "ask no quarter and give none."

Despite the passing of the years we were Moses in our world to share our love. Moses in our world to bleed in the other night to extend to the sons' saintships and upset the even tense we have seen a few prizefighters, basketball players, football players and other all-around cur time, yet we have had a hectic thing to recall any one of them presenting a physical appearance than AL. When the hand you feel like pulling the little trick of suddenly jerking him to you, you recognize that sturdy leg carry a wrist body which would instantly become tense and unbending. Did you know better than a lot of bozoes himself fighters? Wotta a pain in the stomach we get just thinking what would happen if his right in that section fastly assagged his shape which writers refer to as rotund. In another column of today's sports pages you will read quite some interesting comments on sport by Mr. Leolette. Mr. Nolte is a member of the legislature of Virginia and the island of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. Mr. S. A. about twenty years ago, while on a visit to this country, he said he would have cast his fortunes here because he was a young man. He considered himself old and reading through his lines today one can help but attribute to him the greatest of mind which made it possible for him to weld a white pen before he retired from his job. He read the Bulletin and Tildende. Deploring his time to indulge in sport, he at the same time did everything in his power to encourage it when he swung the editorial pen. His encouragement to young men was so strong that he inspired inspiration to many, and that he constantly called upon to take the home position when the race is run or the game is over is a tribute to his sterling America. took possession of the war. It was勒罗泽 Nolte who made the memorable speech when the flag of Denmark was hauled down and that of this country hoisted to the mast. In 1915, he was the most men of the world, among them the late W. T. Stead, upon whose death Mr. Nolte made one of the greatest contributions to the world of journalism that was reproduced in some of the leading newspapers in England. A country Stead served to well during his journalistic career. NOT a colored fighter to make one thrill at mention of his name appears on the listing of champions released by our lone representative this new year. Our bantamweight champion, and the white newspapers have taken good care to mention this fact with reservations. With their country as champion, and while we would all like to see the Panamanian come into his own we are bound to be delighted. He has so sociated with a champion had a great deal to do with keeping him out of the spotlight. In the early years the youngster who appeared at the Olympics, he won a large following by knocking his men out in quick order, but something apparently happened to him. He was Brown almost went into the discard. His victories by the decision route were not impressive enough to make up for his failure to knock his opponents out, but he did even well here in Harwich, where he is well and widely known, his appearance fails to create the slightest ripple. On the other hand, Kid Chocolate, not a champion, ties up traffic every time he goes to the school. He is similar to that of Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey. Here's Tunney, champion of the class, who draws a slight response from a gathering which simply goes wild when they introduce Jack Dempsey. He goes slurs of either a knockout punch or that little thing called ring color. Chocolate is the proud possessor of both. Plan Hampton-Lincoln Game As Annual N. Y. Sports Event NEW YORK, Jan. (Gy. A. N.P. In an effort to make the Hampton-Lincoln game a regular affair here in New York City the alumni of both schools are invited to play on a constructive program to that end. While there is no certainty of using the Yankee Stadium for the game, overseeing have been made by the school to the officials of the stadium and the latter have the proposition under consideration.

Alice Plans Suit Following Decree Kip Rhinelander's Wife to Ask Separation and More Alimony Preparations for a separation suit of Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander of New Rochelle against Lecard Kip Rhinelander, her wealthy spouse who obtained a divorce Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada, were well under way yesterday. William D. Cunningham, white, trial counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander, is planning to serve Kip with notice by publication. The wife, who created such a big sensation when she married the socially prominent young man in 1924, will contend that she had been treated and also humiliated by the allegation of her husband in his suits for divorce and annulment. Mrs. Rhinelander apparently not concerned when told of the uncontested divorce granted her spouse after his nine months of residence in Nevada. No provision was made for her maintenance, but the wife's attorney's believe that Kip will continue paying her $200 monthly voluntary alimony. Plans for the suit, however, include an asking for an increase in the amount contributed by Kip. This request will be based upon the contention that Rhinelander inherited part of two large estates. The courts of New York are expected to not. recognize the decree handed down by the Western court. G. M. C.

Professor Cole has killed his chances of a southern college. IF THE NORDICS mean to sustain their grand bluff of inherent and eternal superiority they will have to kill off their scientists. The non-Nordics have had many a laugh at the Nordic myth, and unless the scientists are silenced the Nordics themselves will begin to doubt it. The South has a certain logic on its side when it firmly discourages scientific inquiry, for a digging up of facts would destroy the South as we know it today. THE LATEST THINKER to assail the Nordic delusion is Professor Cole of the University of Chicago. He is an anthropologist, and last week he spoke at a session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He says that there is no evidence of innate superiority in any race; that certain peoples have become dominant through favorable environment and a mixture of cultures through commerce and war, and that purity of stock and isolation cause a people to deteriorate. He says that the hill-billies in the Southern mountains of this country, though descendants of the best European stocks, have retrograded because of their isolation. The Mayas and Aztecs of Mexico developed a great civilization because they were a mixture of many tribes, the contribution of each enriching the general knowledge of the others and widening the outlook of all. THE RELENTLESS professor did not stop there. He went on to say, that of the Scandinavians, supposed to be the chief examples of Nordicism, less than fifty per cent are pure Nordics, and that there is very little difference between the pygmies of Malay and the Nordic. Professor Cole has killed his chances of ever teaching in a Southern college.

With none of the lofty pretensions, it never makes as big a fool of it. William C. Henry THE UNITED STATES Lawn Tennis Association has made a fool of itself more than once. In its dealings with Bill Tilden, the tennis champion, it was a hypocrite as well as a fool. It used Tilden and other stars to swell its gate receipts and build fancy stadiums, and then ruled Tilden out because he indirectly capitalized his tennis fame. It was deemed ethical for the players to make direct profits for the tennis association, but not indirect profits for themselves. The controversy between the association and Tilden made athletic amateurism the laughing-stock of the country. NOW THE ASSOCIATION, which never tires of professing its devotion to the highest ideals of sportsmanship, is acting up again. It has barred two young Negro tennis stars from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tournament at the Seventh Regiment Armory. After the boys had paid their entry fees the association informed them that Negro players are not allowed to play in its tournaments. The ironical facts are that one of the excluded players is the captain of the Flushing High School tennis team and his father is the tennis coach of the Bryant High School tennis team, some of whose players have been admitted to the tournament. THE TENNIS ASSOCIATION turns up its nose at such sports as prize fighting. Prize fighting lacks the ceremony and etiquette of tennis, but it appears to have more of the essential spirit of sportsmanship. It is not afraid to give boys like Kid Chocolate a chance. With none of the lofty pretensions of the tennis snobs, it never makes as big a fool of itself. William C. Henry William C. Henry OKLYN has lost a notable citizen by William C. Henry.

In the fifty-nine years since he came to Brooklyn he held many high positions in fraternal orders and church associations. Always active in public affairs, he was prominent in the fight made forty years ago by the late T. Thos. Fortune against separate schools. EVERY NEW YEAR'S DAY for twenty-five years he had placed a wreath at the base of the statue of Henry Ward Beecher at Borough Hall in Brooklyn, and this custom will be carried on by his surviving To the Negro Race—Greetings Rambling Ruminations relatives. He knew the great champion of Negro emancipation personally and he chose New Year's Day for his tribute because it was the date of the Emancipation Proclamation. It would be well if more Negroes were as mindful of Beecher, Garrison, Phillips, Sumner and other great Abolitionists who risked their lives and fortunes to end slavery. THE old year has passed into eternity. The new year has swung into time. Time is a continuous entity which stretches from eternity to eternity. We measure intervals of time by such natural phenomena as the rising and setting of the sun, the waxing and waning of the moon and the journey of the earth in its orbit about the sun. The revolution of the earth about its axis gives us the day. The interval between two like phases of the moon gives us the month. The period required for the sun seemingly to return to a stated place among the stars marks the year. Human behavior is largely regulated by astronomy. Swiftly descending from high heaven to low earth, let us now deal with the Negro during the incoming year of Our Lord—1930. The new year issue of the Crisis usually gives us a balance sheet of debts and credits of the outgoing year. The antithetic items so completely offset each other that it would require an expert social accountant to tell on which side of the ledger the benefit of the balance lies. Let us evaluate some of these items by the old method of parallelism. We have gained the ownership but have not perhaps, fifty thousand farms. The great philanthropy foundations have startlingly increased our provisions for the higher educa- MUCH has already been written about "Hallelujah," King Vidor's film, and Walter White's "Rope and Faggot," but I have just seen the former and am reading the latter. Since, however, neither is just of the moment but both are of lasting significance, a few general remarks about them will certainly not be out of order. Of the former it is said that many Negroes had complained and, in consequence, King Vidor was so discouraged that he did not intend bringing out another film with Negroes. Both the complainants and Mr. Vidor are wrong. Those Negroes who complain belong to that type of humanity whom it is impossible to satisfy. It is also said that the white South is complaining. As to Mr. Vidor, if he does not care to go on, we feel sure that another director will be glad to take up where he left off, for his picture has shown that, in the Negro actor, a new power has arisen in the art of the motion picture. We have seen thousands and thousands of moving pictures—"Ben Hur," the "King of Kings." "The Birth of a Nation," "Theodora"—vast, magnificent, splendid pictures, but shot through with the power of surprise, stirred you while you were under their influence," but no sooner were you outside than the effect wore off like the oratory of some great politician or great preacher. One was carried away, not so much by what was said as how it was said. It forced itself on one's mind, not by its sincerity but its artificiality. Of all the American motion pictures I had seen but two have left an unforgettable impression on my mind through the years, "Driven," a staircase from Brooklyn mountains and the Brooklyn Museum of London's East End. Both had been studied on the spot and moved you by their sheer truth, sincerity and realism. Most of the others one felt were just stories—stories so stupidly commercial that, on leaving, you felt that you had not only been of time and money, but worse—you had been taken for a fool! And now comes "Halleluja," which I, think, the greatest of all, perhaps, because it deals with a life with which I am acquainted. I have watched and studied with intense and lovable interest, the life thatope depicted in that life, both Norman and I, with the greatest pleasure that I saw unfolded again before me at the Capitol, true in every detail, without the slightest exaggeration or catering to race prejudice in order to make money. Faults there were, naturally, but they were of the construction only. For instance, the tainly have been shortened or other mechanical effect used to create suspense there. But as to the rest :Bu KELLY MILLER tion; but we must await the voluntary response of these unexpected sudden culprits who failed to phase racial segregation which pens the race into the modern land of Goshen. As a result of this segregation - Kelly Miller - we have gained on congressman, nine legislators and fourteen aldermen, but have lost out utterly as a political entity in either of the great political parties. There are numerous instances of individual success, but no general indication of racial advance. Our schools are filled to overflowing but are failing to fit the Negro into the economic and industrial regime, nor are they making a new Bu J. A. ROGERS it was so true to life that I had but one regret, a very great one, that it had not been the work of a Negro. And that is what many of us writers get on for neglecting the material mighty drama which lies in our own group, principally its humber Norton. For it be noted, — J. A. Rogers — far more touching drama can be produced from the lives of the humble than from those of the great. But it takes a man of immense sympathy to do it. and King Vidor has that sympathy. But, interesting as the story is, there is something of greater importance, not only to us as Negroes but to the moving picture art, and that is the acting. The acting was not only equal to the best that has ever appeared on the screen, but many of the leading white actors, very good as they have been, will in future have to take lessons in realism and the art of being natural from many of the Negro actors in that picture. Two of the greatest screen actors, if not the two greatest, are Emil Jannings and Charlie Chaplin. Daniel Haynes, the co-star of the epic aspect of these two in their just as sincere, as gifted, as free from all artificiality. Mme. Fanny De Knight simply touched the heart and made one feel the fullness of the word "Mother"; whether her face be black, white or yellow. Nina Mae McKinney was a true type of the eternal feminine torn with the desire for love, money and conquest of the male heart; Victoria Spivey, of the "good woman" in the film, and of the slack heart at the vampires; Harry (Dad) Gray, of the benevolent, forgiving kind; Bill Fontaine, the gambler and sweet-back man; Chickie, and many others we could mention would space permit. After all of this it is not difficult to write a letter to the South and others in the North. place into which he might fit. The churches are falling lamentably to meet the spiritual, moral and social needs of the race. Our newspapers are growing more efficient as gatherers of news and disseminators of information, but they fill the mind and imagination of young and old with accounts of crime, scandal, sensational gossip and erotic suggestion. The /crime rate in our crowded cities sharms us. Three per cent of the population of New York City contribute twenty-five per cent of the criminals. Our young people fiddle and dance while Rome is burning. There will hardly be any revolution or radical transformation in racial life during the incoming year. Things will tend to move on in their regular and accustomed way. The good constructive endeavor will proceed as heretofore. The preachers will preach, the teachers will keep school, the doctors will practice medicine, the farmers will till the soil (those who do not leave); the city worker will ply his trade. The good and bad will continue to struggle for supremacy. Nothing that I or anyone else may say will very seriously affect the usual and normal order of things. And yet I dare suggest something that is new. We live in an age of research and surveys. President Hoover is appointing commissioners to inquire into current social situation. The rapid development of the past few decades has produced malaljustment of the social order. We must first find out where we are before we can wisely proceed to where we wish to go. In a magnified sense, this is true of the Negro rabte. We are being carried forward by the momentum of spent forces. The educational programs of the early philanthropists do not energize the fac- Lumination ROGERS ject to "Hallelujah," although color injustices are not brought up in it. Why do some white people object to that picture? They object because the very capable actives lifts a despised people to the level of human dignity in the eyes of the world. They tremble because it makes them realize that they have always feared—that the black man has, within himself, possibilities for his self-deliverance out of their grasp. The stage, throughout all the ages, has ever been one of the mightiest factors against tyrants and robbers. Let the Negro objectors forget that "Halleujah" deals with humble folk.

AUTO ENGINEER To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: Dear Sir: I was very proud to see my name in the Christmas issue among those recently appointed to the police department, as the only Negro to hold the position of automotive engineer. It is quite true that I was the first Negro to be appointed to that position on January 21, 1929, by Inspector Brien, a former deputy department. I might add that there are only two in the department. The other one is Patrick Ryan, a white man, with nearly twenty years' experience. There was a slight error made in stating that I could be seen at 205 Mulberry street. Mr. Ryan has been assigned there. I have been assigned to the Police Central Motors Repair Shop at Sixteenth street and Avenue C, New York City. As I am the first Negro to hold the position of automotive engineer in the police department, I sincerely trust I will not be the only one in the near future. Very truly yours, (Sirmed) ARTHUR L.

ISSUE PUT ON FILE To the Editor of The Amsterdam News Dear Sir: We were very much interested in your December 18 issue of The Amsterdam News celebrating the Twentieth Anniversary of the paper. It was attractive in appearance as well as subject matter. We want especially to congratulate you upon the facts printed concerning the history of Harlem. This seems to me not only very in- SPECIAL ARTICLES ulties of the rising generations. The ideal of political equality preached by Summer and Stevens makes no appeal to Hoover and Mellon. Even the industrial program of Booker T. Washington does not fit in with the silenced opposition. Race prejudice does not yield to any of the old weapons we once relied upon to eradicate and destroy it. The old razor has grown blunt and is not calculated to cut much deeper unless we can put on a new edge. During 1930 we should devote our energies largely to a reappraisals of our situation. It should be made more statistical and dead information, but the actualities by which we must live and move and have our being. What is race prejudice? Can we overcome it? If not, how can we so fortify ourselves that it will not overcome us? What can be done to make our churches more responsive to the spiritual, moral and social needs of the people? How should we the more effectually relate ourselves to city segregation, if, as it seems, it cannot be prevented. How much longer should we maintain the man's adult mind respecting the Fourteenth Amendment? In the long run will the race as a whole be better or worse off by leaving the country and flocking to the city? These are merely typical inquiries to which race council should give serious attention. Shall we do this or shall we go on oblivious of the obvious, and shake the impotent finger of defiance in the face of an unfriendly rate. This is neither the gospel of defeat nor the doctrine of despair, but ameliorism of common sense. black ones, many of the objectors would have liked it. It is in this way then, that unprejudiced white people and white peoples in other parts of the world will regard it. Of course, most of us are also looking forward to a picture depicting the more ambitious and more advanced side of Negro life. But we, 12,000,000 strong, ought not to expect the white people to take the initiative in everything looking forward to our benefit. At present there is not a sufficiently strong white market for a picture of that sort, but there will be before long and, unless we Negroes look out, King Vidor or some other white director will scoop us again.

Yours. (Signed) J. D. WETMORE, 1440 Broadway, New York City, Dec. 18, 1929. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News's Dear Sir: I wish to express to you the sincere appreciation of my family (and I am sure of friends) obeying "New Yorkers" of the splendid article by Aubrey Jones on the old-time New York. Very often, since I moved to Harlem, people have asked me if I was out of town. Proudly, because I am proud of the fact, I would inform them that I am not demeaned "downtown". Usually, the response is a contemptible, playing amble. However, I am still proud --- AMAZED "HATS OFF" OLD NEW YORKER Keeping Fit A Health Column dedicated to the mem- ory of Dr. E Elliott Rawlins (1882-1928) By Lucien M. Brown, M.D. (Continued from last week.) IT requires about ten years after graduation from high school to begin the practice of medicine on one's own responsibility. This statement holds true no matter where the course of study was pursued, and it can be readily seen that the reaction of a young man or woman after these years of hard work and sacrifice will be markedly influenced by the very nature of the new scheme of things, which itself made success so far difficult to attain. The young medico sets out for new worlds to conquer, and at first he seems at a loss what to do. He hears from all sides that there is a crying need for a doctor in some travelling town, but he has long known the profession of practitioners who have been around for the past twenty-five or thirty years have very little to show but stacks of unpaid bills. The younger generation prefers the specialist or the services of the medical center, which can be located in the adjoining large city. The loom man may give a chance at the non-serious things and emergencies. In rural communities, the population is scant and the chances of financial returns are still less certain. Then too, there is the almost complete isolation from your associates and the chances of becoming hopelessly backward in things medical. The training of the young physician equips him for the assimilation of new scientific information and a thorough investigation of cases, under his care. This cannot be carried out in these rural districts. Medical schools are usually situated in large cities, and students coming from far-away towns and villages are soon impressed not of my origin and can truthfully say that my happiest days were spent "downtown." I am sure that many misinformed persons will be greatly enlightened after "seeing New York Through the Eyes of Old-Timers." Your paper should be greatly commended for such splendid material.

CONGRATULATIONS To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: Dear Sir: Permit me to say a word of congratulation on the occasion of the twentieth birthday of your brilliant paper. As one who has observed most keenly the fortunes of this publication from its infancy and is a constant reader, I pay you homage and saluting with the history of the Negroes in the metropolitan area of New York City and, for that matter, the country as a whole during the past twenty years, are truly remarkable. Though not of American nativity, I have dwelt among you for the last twenty-seven years and cast my lot without reserve with our people here.

"HIGH STANDARD" To the Editor of The Amsterdam News Dear Sir: You are to be congratulated upon your Twentieth Anniversary issue of The Amsterdam News. It is high praise to say that it was in keeping with the general high standard of almost every issue of The Amsterdam news for the past few years. The tremendous strides made by The Amsterdam News in the last few years, both in circulation and news content, have made it one of the outstanding weeklies of the country. Judging your future ac- complishments by what you su- ceeded in doing in the past few years leads us to expect that The Amsterdam News may be depended upon to lead our newspapers to a high, level of leadership and influence.

To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: Dear Sir: How many "Harlem Tenants' Leagues" have we in Harlem? and especially numerous to know and the public to whom appeals are being made ought to know the reason of the split which gives us one league led by Richard Moore and another led by Grace Campbell, when, until recently, these two were harmoniously working together in one league? Mr. Moore's league had a dance on Saturday night and Miss Campbell's league had a tea on Sunday afternoon. And, besides these two, there are I think, two or three more tenants' leagues! What is the 'big idea?' To help the tenants, or to—? I am. AN INTERESTED TENANT. New York. Dec. 27, 1929. only by the medical convenience, but by the social and economic as well. They are less likely to place much significance on the hundreds of city doctors who are just barely able to meet their financial obligations and find their castles on the success and the success of the big men (so-called) of the mission. In difficult cases, a consultant can easily be had. This serves the purpose of increasing the confidence of the family and gives the patient the benefit of any doubt in diagnosis and the conduct of the case. The man practicing in the city where competition is keen must be aware of the produce results. It is my opinion that young doctor will continue to overcrowd the larger communities and that conditions in rural districts will grow worse, as regards competent medical service, until such time as this problem can win legislative consideration. The individual ability and courage to successfully complete medical education should be given every encouragement to establish wherever he or she wants to. The column wishes its reader abundant good health and happiness in the present year. Dental Talks BY ROY C. PROCTOR, D. D. 8. In our discussion of Intra-red Rays last week we found that they were not heat rays, but were rays of radiant energy, and that these rays might be absorbed by the body, because the vibration of the atoms of the body is the same as that of the rays. Further, that when these rays are absorbed, the penetrate the body some three or four inches, and there give off heat to the deeper structures. This heat causes a hyperemia that is of great healing power. We finally found that this penetration was not possible with the various heat producing applications, because they acted on the surface and were not absorbed. Clinical evidence substantive theory, according to authorities on the subject. In a paper read before the New England Association for Physical Therapy, Nov. 27, 1922 Dumscome, who has made a thorough study of Infra-red radiation says: "I have seen cases of necrosis such as sclatica, in which I have applied an Infra-red applicor with rapid improvement, when everything else failed.
