ERNEST TIDRINGTON SLAIN AS HE SAT AT WHEEL OF HIS AUTO
Rose From Janitor to Political Boss of Indiana Supreme Vice-Chancellor of Knights of Pythias-Assailant Surrenders
EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 27 (ANP)—In every section of Evansville it became known Wednesday night by 9 o'clock that the last words from the mouth of Ernest G. Tidrington, fraternal, church and political leader, had been issued and that his powerful influence wielded in his city, state and nation had been caged and quieted by a shotgun blast exploded from a weapon in the hands of Luther Bell, political opponent of Tidrington.
The murder took place at Lincoln and Governor streets. Tidrington sat in his limousine, awaiting Mrs. Tidrington, who had gone into a drug store on the corner to purchase some stamps.
Mrs. Tidrington made her purchase and had just placed her hand on the knob of the door of the car when the noise of the shotgun discharge, fired through the rear window by Bell, was heard and Tidrington slumped at the wheel with half the back of his head blown off.
A crowd galleyed quickly and the injured man was removed to a rear seat of the car to be taken to the hospital, but within ten minutes he was send.
As the car bore the slain boss to the hospital, Bell walked from his poolroom, a half-block from the corner and surrendered himself to a Negro policeman. He admitted the crime and complained that he had shot Tidrington because the latter, as political car of that section of Erieville, known as Baptisttown, had oppressed him.
"He made my cup run over," protested Bell.
In his lifetime Tidrington had made friends as well as enemies. The enemies made by Tidrington were men and women who felt that, as a fighter, he gave no mercy. They believed he used his power ruthlessly to crush them.
Nevertheless, Tidrington, who at the time of his death was the same age as his slayer, 47, had lived a remarkable life. Politics had been the central core around which it was built, but he had worked shrewdly to

Two thousand patrons of the midnight show were thrown in confusion at 3 a. m. as the patrol resisted the first attempts of the Patrolman Joe Brown of the West 135th street station to halt the fracas. Detectives and reserves were hurried from the above-mentioned precinct and quickly restored order, after the theatre had been emptied of its audience. The prisoners, who were subdued and arrested by Brown, gave their names as Herbert Patterson, 32, 225 Fifth avenue, and Harold Easton, 33, 214 West 148th street.

Patrolman Brown, who happened to be a spectator at the performance, rushed to the pair to restore order. The men resisted him and he found it necessary to send for aid.

HELD FOR SLAYING OF PUGILIST AFTER RETURNING TO HOME
Calmly returning to his apartment after listening to a church service, Walter Tate, 22, 121 East 130th street, confessed the slaying of his cousin, a pugilist, police of the East 126th street station announced Sunday afternoon, after holding Tate for the Homicide Court on a murder charge.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27 (ANP).—With the temperature on and around the sidewalks hovering at several points below the zero mark, Johnnie Robinson, local youth, who has attracted much attention in aviation circles, made his initial flight, over the south side of the city, Saturday afternoon. Robinson was warned by experienced birdmen of the danger of making the flight due to the cold weather, but, he, stated that, he had promised those who made it possible for him to fly that he would circle the south side Saturday afternoon and he wanted to keep his promise.
Robinson kept his promise, made a successful flight but had to be lifted from the plane because of his physical condition. His arms and legs were frozen and for several days he has been undergoing treatment. Graduating from Tuskegee Institute several years ago, Robinson became interested in aviation. Attention was first drawn to him when it was announced that he had constructed an aeroplane, "which would actually fly," from automobile parts. He did not, however, make his initial flight in that plane.

The slain man was Bruno Chavaria, 29, who fought under the name of Bruno Williams. His heart was pierced with the point of a penknife.
Tate was held without ball for a hearing Feb. 4, when arraigned in Homicide Court before Magistrate Corrigan yesterday.
According to the story gleaned by the police, Tate and Chavaria engaged in heavy drinking during the morning. As the liquor warmed the men they began quarrelling.

The defendant left the apartment after the slaying and went to St. Mark's Roman Catholic Church on West. 130th street, according to his admission. Whether the sermon or a probable confessional led him to give up could not be determined. When Tate returned he found Inspector McNeil of the Sixth Division, Capt. Louis Hyams of the East 126th street station. Capt. John Appel, Detectives Smith and Clark investigating the crime. They declared that Tate readily told of the tragic scene enacted that morning.

Tenants Endorse Demand For Permanent Rent Law
At a spirited meeting at Bethel Young People's Lyceum Sunday afternoon, tenants of Harlem showed a spirit of determination to fight against the rent increases which are being demanded by the landlords following the wiping out of the Emergency Rent law. The demands of the Harlem Tenants' League for a permanent rent law in the interest of working-class tenants were unanimously endorsed.
"We do not want any more fake emergency rent bills," said Richard B. Moore, president of the league, in a militant speech. "We bring forward our demands for a permanent rent law and we call upon the tenants to organize to put power back of these demands. We must organize house and block committees to carry through a mass rent strike which will curb the rent-gougers who are driving us out into the streets to starve and freeze."
A mass meeting in support of these demands will be held under the auspices of the Harlem Tenants' League at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West 130th street, Friday, at 8 p. m.
Counsel for Mr. Ray met in the office of Raymond Pace Alexander, who has acted as attorney for Mrs. Ray for four years, and Mrs. Ray affixed her signature to the several documents that will bring an end to the long drawn out divorce and equity litigation.
While the exact terms and conditions of the settlement were not divulged by either party or their counsel, it is understood that Mrs. Ray has agreed to deed back the Bethlehem real estate, which includes the Ray mansion on Linden street, an exclusive section of Bethlehem. Mrs. Ray is to receive the equivalent of this realty value in cash and other property. This sum is mentioned as $20,000 and in addition she is to retain all the jewelry which he gave her, which according to his own testimony, has a value of $13,000.
It was revealed that the Ray really holds in Bethlehem are now in excess of $45,000 because of the fact that the new city hall is to be constructed immediately opposite this old family residence.
Mrs. Ray is to return to Europe in March for an engagement in the exclusive London cafe to which the Prince of Wales was attracted six nights in succession because of her singing, it is said. She plans first, however, to go to Phoenix, Arizona, to visit her father and thence to Hollywood.
Smuts Conference Barred Negro Press
Three White Reporters, However, Heard Ex-Premier at Howard
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (CNS)—Not a single representative of the Negro press was invited to meet General Jan Christian Smuts, former Premier of South Africa, or to hear him discuss the race problem in South Africa with twenty-five Negro leaders, who outlined the program of the American Negro at Howard University last Wednesday. Three white newspapermen were present, however,
The apparent discrimination against representatives of the Negro press by their exclusion from the conference has been the cause of much comment here. Several members of the conference themselves expressed regret that both groups of correspondents could not have been provided for on an equal basis. The conference was arranged by the Rev. Anson Phelps-Stokes of the Phelps-Stokes fund and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University. Dr. Johnson slated Friday that the original plan had been to exclude all members of the press. This was done, he said, as far as the "conference itself went." He explained that the white representatives of local dailies were admitted to hear General Sinn's speech only.

Two of the three youths who are charged with attempted robbery and violating the Sullivan law, in connection with the attempted holdup of a grocery clerk on the night of January 18, waived examination when arraigned Thursday before Magistrate Reit in Washington Height's Court and were held without ball for the Grand Jury.
The two who decided to waive examination so that the Grand Jury can pass on their cases gave their names as Judson Lyons, 22, 367 West Street and Harvey Johnson, 22, 310 West Street, 134 West. The other Leonard Russell, 22, 135 West 127th street, was held without ball for a further hearing.
The three were arrested on complaint of Raymond Thornton, 2162 Seventh avenue, a grocery clerk, who charged that the three attempted to hold him up as he was making a delivery of groceries in premises 424 E. Nicholas avenue. Russell, the clerk charges, pointed a pistol at him while Jackson threatened to assault him with a blackjack. A knife was later found in Lyons' pocket, Thornton saw an open door and dashed into a woman's apartment. The alleged holdup man ran to the roof and made their escape. They were later arrested by, Detectives Winterhalter and Webbier of the West 135th street station and identified, the police say, by Thornton as the men who attempted to rob him.
Courts Get Tailor Twice for Robbery
Immediately after his dismissal on a charge of robbery in Essex Court. Percel D. Chandler, 29, a tailor, W west 136th street, was rearrested by effective Durning of the West 135th street station and arraigned in Harlem Court Friday on a similar accusation.
Magnitate Stern held Chandler in $2,000 ball pounding action of the Grand Jury. The defendant was arrested on complaint of Samuel Goldstein, white, who conducts an inebedashery at 371 Lenox avenue. He charged that Chandler robbed him of $32 in his store, threatening him with a knife during the holdup.
Chandler and three other men were arrested on January 7 and were accused of robbing the employees of a sausage factory at 149 East Third street. The arrests were made in Chandler's home.
The other three men were Carlton Myatt, 24, and his brother, Hugh, 19, Montclair, N. J., and James Hutchinson of Chicago. They were later indicted by the Grand Jury and are now in the Tombs Prison awaiting trial. The evidence proved insufficient against Chandler and he was discharged, only to be rearrested on Goldstein's complaint.
Chandler denied robbing Goldstein. The accuser then stated he was not positive that Chandler was the man who stole his money.
"Quit Haiti," Reasserts Buenos Aires Newspaper
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 25. — La Prensa, commenting on the opposition in the American Senate to the appointment of a committee to investigate conditions in Haiti, says: "The American public is becoming convinced that Haitian affairs must no longer be subjected to the supervision of overseers appointed by the White House."
The paper asserts that Senator Borah's declarations confirm the oft-repeated charges of La Prensa that the American occupation has accomplished nothing toward assisting the Haitians better to govern themselves or to solve their political problems.
"In view of the failure of the objects for which the military occupation established there, we should no further dissipation, bolstering this measure of force and re-establishing completely the full independence of Haiti by withdrawing every American soldier or marine now on the island," declares La Prensa.

Wisconsin Senator Opposes Haitian Commission
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday rejected the House proposal which would put into effect President Hoover's plan for a commission of inquiry in Haiti. Snarp criticism by Senator Blaine of the President's policy in the island followed the introduction of a resolution by the committee, the effect of which would be to put responsibility for the inquiry on the administration. The resolution would authorize the President to use $50,000 for such an inquiry "by commission or otherwise," as he described the resolution, how it was blocked by the Republican insurgent of Wisconsin. "It is not reform of the Haitians but the reform of the Americans in Haiti that is needed, and the President has the power to bring it about without any commission." Senator Blaine said.

Dr. Curtis, she testified, also kicked her.
Miss Fitzhugh, under cross-examination, suffered a lapse of memory. She could not recall anything that might prove damaging to her case. She could not remember having screamed on the steps leading into Dr. Curtis' offices. She could not remember having had interviews with newspaper reporters. She did not know Louis R. Lautler, a newspaper executive. She could not cool William O. Walker, managing editor of the Washington Tribune. She knew Samuel, a notary public, before whom she made an affidavit concerning her alleged relations with Dr. Curtis, but did not know his business.
Witness Tells of Alleged Attack.
Mrs. Ella D. Howard, who lives next door to Dr. Curtis' offices at 1715 U street, northwest, testified that she heard screams and saw a woman on the porch of Dr. Curtis' offices. She went out and asked the woman what he said, and said that Dr. Curtis had beat her. Dr. Curtis came to the door adjusting his cuffs, she stated, and said, "Yes I struck you."
The case is attracting widespread attention. Dr. and Mrs. Curtis are socially prominent in the East and Middle West.
Notables Attending Trial.
Attending the first day's session of the trial were: John R. Hawkins, banker and high churchman; Kelly Miller, Howard University professor and a publicist; Dr. William H. Wilson, a close personal friend of Dr. and Mrs. Curtis; Mrs. A. M. Curtis, mother of Dr. Curtis. A number of lawyers and law students are also in attendance. The courtroom was crowded.
In the witness room waiting to be called to testify were Dr. A. M. Curtis, father of the defendant, and Mrs. William H. Wilson, also socially prominent and close personal friend of Dr. and Mrs. Curtis. Walker, Lauter and Miss Ivy Boone, who was subpoenaed with a copy of an affidavit signed by Miss Fitzhugh and sent to the Baltimore Afro-American, are also expected to testify. The trial is not expected to reach the jury before late Wednesday.
After court had adjourned Monday afternoon, Attorney Charles H. Houston, who is defending Dr. and Mrs. Curtis, announced that he would subpoena Addison N. Searlock, commercial and newspaper photographer, who is said to have made a photograph of Miss Fitzhugh for the newspapers, which she refused to permit him to send out.
To Set Up Counter-Claims.
The defense of Dr. and Mrs. Curtis will be that Miss Fitzhugh assaulted them instead of their having assaulted her and that they simply defended themselves and each other against her assaults.
Attorney Austin F. Canfield of the law firm of Lambert & Yeatman is representing Miss Fitzhugh.

Lost Girls Found; Two Men Arrested
Lost Girls Found; Two Men Arrested
Harlem Brothers Facing Charges of Attacks on Children
Two young girls, who had been missing from their homes in Jamaica, L. I., for a week were located by the police at 124 West 117th street, and as a result of information they furnished two men were arrested on statutory Monday. The two girls who are said by the girls to have taken them to the 117th street house, where they allege they were attacked, were arrested by Detectives Graham and Pollock of the West 123d street station.
They gave their names as Beverly McKelvey, 21, and his brother, Edward, 23, who are radio mechanics and live at 1972 Seventh avenue. They were arranged Monday before Magis-Capshaw in Harlem Court and held without ball for a hearing on Friday.
The girls were placed in the custody of the Children's Society by Agent Scuff.
Two Sent to Workhouse As Subway Pickpockets
Charged with disorderly conduct, Lawrence Eldridge, 42, of 110 West 136th street, and Joseph Ashe, 37, of 205 West 130th street, were given prison sentences by Magistrate Earl Smith in Morrissia Court Saturday. Eoth men were arrested Friday night by Detectives Cash and Curtis, both white, of the Pickpocket Squid as they attempted to pick the pockets of persons in a crowd about to board a crosstown street car at 149th street. Eldridge was sentenced to serve five months and twenty-nine days because of his long criminal record. He has been convicted eight times, seven of them for the same offense of which he was convicted Saturday. Ashe was sentenced to four months in prison. According to the detainees, Eldridge was recently injured in an automobile accident and was forced to rely on Ashe, who has no previous record, in his attempts to suffer others' pockets.

Political Enemy Slays Tidrington

advance himself from his first position as a jantor twenty-five years ago to his place as a political overlord and an important place in the dignified councils of fraternal orders.
He had been successively a school janitor, a deputy sheriff, a rodman in the city engineering department, a clerk in the Congressional Library at Washington, a postoffice clerk in St. Louis, a city detective, and an assistant custodian and engineer of state property. In 1921 he applied for admittance to the Vanderburgh County bar and his case was referred to a committee. When the committee failed to report on time, Judge Phil C. Gould admitted Tidrington to the bar. The Bar Association then appealed the matter and it went to the State Supreme Court, where his admittance was upheld. But there was always a feeling among Tidrington's enmies that he had put another one over.
His most important fraternal connections were with the Knights of Pythias. He was Vice Supreme Chancellor of the order and Grand Chancellor of the Indiann juridiction. For six years Tidrington had been in charge of the Indiana State RepubliCk of Indiana, locally he had played Republican and Democratic politics. In 1925 he served on an interracial commission of six men appointed by President Cooldge, and since the election of Hoover his Friends had urged his appointment as Registrar of the Treasury. Bell, the slayer, although operating a poolroom, was known as a man of good character and public spirit. His family is one of the oldest in Evansville, Indiana, and an officer of the Boehne Hospital Committee of the Tuberculosis Association.
After the shooting he stated that Tidrington, ever since the last mayoral election, had threatened to "get him." He claimed that on the first of the month Tidrington had police raid his poolroom and the police ordered him to close. Bell said he couldn't get a license to operate the poolroom and that Tidrington was back of it, because he (Bell) had ordered the election of the present mayor.
When the chief of police, after Tidrington's death, was questioned about the raids on Bell's poolroom, he said he knew nothing of them, and that he had always known Bell to be a man of good character and felt that his business was a harmless one.
"I had a little trouble with Alvie Tillerson, but he and I had patched that up and were friends again." Bell stuttered. "But Tidrington got Tillerson, so we out a charge against me and had our arrest. We went on bond yesterday afternoon and was standing across the street when Tidrington and his wife drove up to the drug store."
Bell then went to his roompool, obliterated and shotgun and the shooter followed.
Man and Youth Will Face Grand Jury for Attacks
A man in his thirties and a youth of 19 were held for the Grand Jury on separate statutory charges last Wednesday in Harlem Court. Magistrate Stern heard the cases. Allen Scott, 17, bootblack. 1839 Third avenue, was held in $2,500 bail for the Grand Jury on a statutory charge made by a 16-year-old girl. Scott was arranged on complaint of Agent Raderick of the Children's Society. He alleges in his complaint that the soldier told him that she had been attacked. So did Scott that the latter had admitted his guilt. Arrested by Detective Doyle of the East 104th street station on a statutory charge made by Marton Seabrook, 34. 11 East 112th street. Arthur Hutchinson, 35. 229 West 121st street, was held in $1,000 bail.
Litigation Against White Texas Shriners Ended
HOUSTON, Tex., Jan. 27 (ANP) — The clerk of the court of Harris County has refunded to the Imperial Council of Negro Shriners, through the legal counsel of the Order, the sum of $1,080, which sum represented the costs of the original suit conducted by Wakkins, white, and Denham Shriners in Texas, and which case, won in Texas, was set aside by the Supreme Court of the United States last year.
This payment, settlement of which was delayed by the death of Attorney Wilford Smith, marks the end of the effort to prevent Negroes from wearing the regalia of Shriners or practicing the ritual of the organization. That remains of the matter is the filing of the necessary information with the proper officials in the different States where the Texas idea had found favorable reaction.
Carpenter Pleads Guilty To Stealing Automobile
Ebenezer Thomas, 47, a carpenter, 274 West 115th street, pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny involving the theft of an automobile and was held in $2,000 ball for the Grand Jury, by Magistrate Stern in Harlem Court, Inst Wednesday.
Thomas is charged with stealing a machine belonging to Grant Marable, a company that manufactured avenue from in front of 322 West 115th street. A short time later Thomas, while driving the automobile, passed a traffic light at 125th street and Seventh avenue, and was stopped by Policeman Woodason of the West 123d street station.
The policeman then learned that the automobile had been stolen and Thomas was charged with grand larceny. The patrolman also charged Thomas was intoxicated and had the chauffeur license. Thomas was then served with summons for his appearance in the Traffic Court on charges of driving without a license and while under the influence of liquor.
Filipinos and Whites Clash in California
WATSONVILLE, Calif., Jan. 27.—Racial hatred, inflamed by the employment of white dancing girls in a Filipino club here, seethed again in the Santa Clara Valley Friday as the result of two clashes at San Jose, in which one white man was stabbed and four Filipinos badly beaten. The body of Fermin Tehera, 22, a Filipino, was found in a bunk house east of here Thursday. He had been shot through the heart. Authorities said shots were fired into the building by a mob of white men Wednesday night and that several Filipinos fled from the place in terror.
Accused as Raffles
Accused of breaking into the home of Mrs. Laura Gill, 400 Manhattan avenue, and stealing silverware and furniture valued at $128, Mrs. Grace Haskins, 41, 408 Lenox avenue, was held in $2,000 bail for a further hearing, when she faced Magistrate Stern last Wednesday in Harlem Court.

Senator Glenn to Address Meeting for Congressman
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (A. N. P.)
—Senator O. Fitz Glen of Illinois has accepted an invitation to deliver the principal address at the national Negro History Week demonstration in honor of the Negro Congressmen on Feb. 10.
Word has come from all three living former Congressmen saying that they will be present. H. P. Cheatham of North Carolina says that the effort is a most timely one which he keenly appreciates. Thomas E. Miller writes that he has already decided upon the subject of his address and John R. Lynch writes that he has rearranged all of his engagements so as to allow full participation in the demonstration.
Oscar DePriest, now member of Congress, most heartily approves the step and is giving the promoters every assistance and encouragement possible.
Four Separate Fires Lead To Arson Charges in Court
After detectives and a fire department official discovered that four separate fires were in progress in different rooms Friday night, James Johnson, 30, 6 East 132d street, was hailed to Harlem Court before Magistrate Stern the following morning and held without hall for a further hearing. Johnson was arrested when he returned to his home shortly 'fter the fire had been subdued. The complaint was made by Assistant Fire Marshal Winkler. According to the report of investigation made by Winkler and by a Detectives O'Connor and Cavone of the East 126th street station, Johnson rented the apartment on the ground floor of the 132d street house a few days ago. Smoke was discovered issuing from the window and led to the disclosure.
Harlem Tenements May Be Inspected at Night
Commissioner William F. Deegan of the tenement house department told a Harlem delegation that he would seek means of increasing inspectors for the uptown district and putting on night workers, when he was visited Monday at the Municipal Building.
The delegation represented the welfare committee of the Appomotox Republican Club, of which Mrs. Jane Crolley is chairman. The group assured Mr. Deegan that it would lend full aid in cleaning up Harlem tenements. The commissioner stated that difficulty had been experienced in inspecting because many householders were absent during the day.
The committee included Alderman John Clifford Hawkins of the Twenty-first District and Mesdames Bessie Brown. Laura Wiley, Harriet S. Briggs and Lillian Bossield.

Correct 1930 Census Important to Negro
Leaders All Over the Country Point Out Erroneous Impressions Given by 1910 and 1920 United States Polls
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (ANP)—According to the census of 1920, the Negro is dying, shows a very high percentage of illiteracy, is losing valuable ground in the industrial field, and cannot do this or do that. How many times have you heard crepe hung upon the Negro race with a prop made from the statistics of the United States census?
The report was submitted last Wednesday by Dr. Arthur D. Jacques, white health officer of the village. His proposals were immediately studied by the board of trustees of Rockville Center. Dr. Jacques made the recommendation favoring segregation after making a survey of living conditions among Negroes in the village. He declared that living conditions were worse than in Harlem.
In commenting on Dr. Jacques' statement Saturday night, Charles E. Richmond, Mayor of Rockville, said: "We already have residential segregation and we need no new ordinances. We have advised landowners to clean up. We may have to condemn some buildings." School segregation, according to Mayor Richmond, is a matter for the school board to decide. However, he said that already most of the Negro

How many times have you had
race with a prop made from the
census?
Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, is certain that the Negro has suffered, not only from the census returns of 1920, but from those of many other decades, especially of 1870.
In fact, a poll of men of affairs throughout the nation discloses a feeling that census returns concerning the Negro have been inaccurate and that the Negro has been injured in the public esteem because of the "curious channels" into which false figures have led scientific speculation.
"The figures of the Negro population, as recorded in the census, give the appearance very definitely of inadequacy and understatement," believes Charles S. Johnson, head of the Department of Sociology at Fisk University.
"The drop of almost 50 per cent in the rate of increase between 1910 and 1920 is due more to uncertainties in the recording of Negroes during the migration period, which included the last census-taking period, than to any significant changes in the actual composition of Negro population.
"This apparent tendency to underestimate in population would be reflected in many other fields. For example, the death rates are calculated on the basis of population, and understatement of population exaggerates death rates, and exaggerated death rates react upon the estimate of fitness of the Negro population itself."
This view of inadequacy and understatement is shared by many others.
N. B. Allen, secretary of the Columbus, O., Urban League, does not believe that "the census, insofar as Negroes are concerned, is usually correctly taken." He, like Dr. DuBolk, believes that we lose the mulattoes.
Homer Phillips, active St. Louis attorney, thinks that the figure of 49,000 for that city "was many thousands below the accurate figure."
Harvey Kerns, secretary of the Milwaukee, Wis., Urban League, a city in which the Negro population is small, gathered figures on the Negro population shortly after a census had been taken by the local health department and found errors which he believed were due either to "carelessness in collecting the data or a lack of knowledge of where Negroes lived."

children went to one school "by their own choice." Walter F. White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in a statement Friday, declared that the entire report of Dr. Jacques was superfluous and, if adopted, instead of curing would intensify the present evils. "Dr. Jacques, in recommending residential and school segregation of Negro homes because of overcrowded Negro homes discovered by him," said Mr. White, "apparently is unaware of the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States has twice ruled that residential segregation by ordinance or state law is unconstitutional." "The intelligent approach," said Mr. White, "would be efforts to raise the economic standards of these Negroes, help them to obtain better jobs, and do educational work in hygiene among them. The problems Dr. Jacques finds are not racial ones but are common to any economically less advantaged group.

United States Polls
(ANP).—According to the census

heard crepe hung upon the Negro
the statistics of the United States
lattices, are the Negroes' fear of the census enumerators, the necessity of both fathers and mothers being out at work when enumerators call, and the inaccessibility of Negroes who live far from railroads in rural regions.
These reasons, and others not so easily defined, have caused Negro leaders to become active to bring about a plan of co-operation between the directors of the census and the Negro population which will assure greater accuracy for the 1930 census and a consequent lessening of the dangers of misrepresentation which have lurked in the figures of the past.
One hoped-for item in the taking of the new census is the generous employment of Negro enumerators for Negro districts, North and South. W. A. Booker, Little Rock, Ark. attorney, believes that Negro enumerators could obtain "more exact figures and establish more truthfully the status of our people and their holdings."
"Negro enumerators would be more intimately acquainted with the activities and customs of colored people and could, therefore, more quickly uncover hidden numbers," thinks Dr. Midian Bousfield, vice-president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company.

Think of OZOMULSION when you want to build up your constitution. Fortify yourself against the inroads of sickness and disease.
OZOMULSION uses only the Cod Liver Oil that has been tested, under government supervision, by the Department of Pharmacy in the University of Norway. The test of this superior Norwegian Cod Liver Oil shows that it is free from objectionable taste and is of the very highest Medicinal value.
Doctors appreciate the superiority of OZOMULSION, and prescribe it regularly to a large proportion of their patients, both in health and during periods of sickness and convalescence.
For children, where there is a tendency to Rickets, Weak Bones, Unsound Teeth, or lack of normal growth, OZOMULSION should be added to their daily diet.
OZOMULSION is pure, palatable, easy to take and contains also the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, Chemically Pure Glycerine and that greatest of all blood purifiers, GUAYACOL.
Take regularly OZOMULSION for thirty days and note the difference in your strength, your looks and your disposition.

methods are used in securing Negro enumeration," said Dr. J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, Baton Rouge. "Frequently an estimate made by some white man in the plantation store or the boss of a gang of workers will be the basis of statistics resulting in the most absurd and misleading totals."
"Of course, in the larger Negro centers and in the South, colored enumerators ought to be employed," asserts Dr. DuBols.
It is further felt that the employment of Negro enumerators would act as a sort of gesture of genuine interest on the Government's part in the Negro population which would make it easier for Negro leaders to impress upon the Negro public generally a sense of the importance of the census, not only to them but to the nation.
The Negro public is to be taught that, unless the truth and the whole truth is told, incomplete and false statements may ultimately be used against them. The 1930 census will contain the foundation of figures for the next ten years, and the Negro ought to be able to refer to it and boast of his progress and his worth
Harlem Hospital Acquires Houses
Dr. C. A. Butler's Crusade for Improvements Bears
The city engineering departments were laying plans yesterday for disposition of thirteen apartment houses on 136th and 137th streets, which have been purchased to provide room for an addition to Harlem Hospital. Funds for the purchase and the building of the addition were provided two years ago largely through the efforts of Dr. Charles A. Butler, who led the Citizens' Welfare Committee in the fight for the improvements.
The properties involved are 15-27 West 136th street and 22-44 West 137th street. The acquisitions front 250 feet on each street and run through the block for 22 feet.
Title was taken from Meta Weening for 15-19 West 136th street. The other properties were owned by Mollie Rubinstein. F. Lillian Bell, the Ros菲 Realty Corporation, Madeline G. Sachs, Cassel Cohen and Sons, the I. L. Corporation, Mary Ullman, and Joseph Lazarus, according to records.
The greater hospital will occupy three-fourths of the block bounded by Fifth and Lenox avenues. 136th and 137th streets. There will be a total frontage of 660 feet on each street and 200 feet on Lenox avenue.
Democratic New York Congressman From Bronx District Flaunts Insult
Democratic New York Congressman From Bronx District Flaunts Insult
Expresses His Approval on Floor of House of Failure of Government to Enforce Fourteenth and Fifteen Amendments
That a Democrat in Washington is the same whether he comes from New York or Georgia or any other place in the United States was again demonstrated when, in a Congressional debate in the House of Representatives on the afternoon of January 16, Congressman Frank Oliver of the Twenty-third Congressional district, Bronx, grossly insulted the Negro citizens of this country.
Harnessing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as a vehicle for an oratorical bombast, Congressman Oliver, after a long and wearsome trade against Prohibition, rose to the climax of his efforts by the infamous assertion that "fortunately, in the interest of civilization, the Federal Government withholds its enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Its failure to act under the power is productive of more benefactions to America than its execution of the mandate of the Eighteenth Amendment."
Winding up his trade of abuse to the American Negro and his catering to his Southern friends in Congress, the New Yorker, touching on the freeing of the slaves, expressed a certainty that the freeing was, in reality, nothing less than the actual
MAN INJURED WHEN
THUGS ATTACK PAIR
Returning home early Sunday morning, Henry Hughes, 23, and his wife, Emalie, 299 West 137th street, were attacked by two holdup men on 146th street between Seventh and Eighth avenues.
According to Hughes, the couple encountered the two men at about 4 a.m., midway of the block. When Hughes resisted he was struck over the head with a milk bottle and the two men fled. At Harlem Hospital Hughes was treated by Dr. Fugazzi for a incarcerated lip and forehead, after which he returned home. Detective Robinson of the West 135th street police station is working on the case

The Twenty-third district comprises that portion of Bronx County beginning at the Harlem River and Jerome avenue, along Jerome avenue to East 161st street to Melrose avenue; ti East 157th street; to Third avenue.

In that territory there are many voters of the Negro race, some of whom have voted for Oliver several times, the Congressman having represented the district for several years.
Coming as he does from a district in which the Negro vote is not particularly heavy, he can make the reflections on the race which he made in Congress without much fear of personal retaliation at the ballot box from Negroes.
Several Republicans in Congress expressed surprise that a man so utterly indifferent to the customs and traditions of the Empire State should be permitted to remain in Congress.

Well, here I am again after my battle with the Police on last Monday, and I am still going strong, ready to fight them to the finish. I am a brave woman and I shall get the justice that belongs to me and my race, or die. I am willing to even sacrifice my life for my people.
You would have thought that the whole Police Department's lives were in jeopardy if you had been in court on Monday last to see this Lieutenant here, that Chief-Deputy here, and this Policeman here. The court room was full of them, it made me feel good that just a mere little woman, only 31 year old, who weighs 120 lbs. and is 5 feet 5 inches tall, could bring all those police out to spend a whole day of the city's time in a court room.
Friends, when you saw that I was placed on a five thousand ($5,000) dollar ball you must have thought that it was a lot, but take it from me, that it is nothing, for they wanted to place me under a ten thousand ($10,000) dollar ball, but my lawyer, Judge Groehl, would not stand for that for a mere misdemeanor. They tried to do every and anything they could to me. They told the most unthought of tales in court on Monday, but that is no way that I swapped. They could tell that if they were officers back in their plain clothes that I would stop fighting the Police. Would I a woman who has been fighting the Police for the last year, end my fight in such an easy way? No, indeed, not. Next week I will tell the conversation that went on between me and the Inspector when he called me on my private wire.
Sincerely yours.

Konjola Ends Many Months Of Suffering
Man Tells How New Medicine Gave Relief and Strength to Handle His Daily Tasks.
Everyone knows that a longshoreman must work his faces day by day. Surely the victim of rheumatism cannot long contend with such an important experiencing the experience of life.
[Name]
MR. LUTHER THOMAS.
Photo by Brunel, 412 Fulton St.
Brooklyn.
Luther Thomas, 190 Letters Place, Brooklyn, who found in Konaola the man he says, that he should have and long ago. What course could he wiser then, Thomas, and the experiences of tens of thousands of others who found the right medicine in this compound of $12 million of roots and herbs long known for their medicinal value? Konaola's ingredients own work to do in cleansing the system of poisons and impurities and in adding gestion and elimination. Konaola contains no alcohol, no nerve deadening drusa, no heart-depressing culinary, every drop, and every drop works.
Now get the facts about this medicine from the Konaola Man nearest you. There is a Konaola Man at the Wachusett New York, and another at the Hancock drug store, 339 Bridge street, near Pulliam, Brooklyn. Ask questions, see what Konaola said to the culinary word you will do about Konaola.
But read right now the words of Mr. Thomas, who said to a Konaola Man:
"Konjola is the medicine I should have had long ago. Think of the suffering and the expense I could have been exposed. My face has not been with me, and after meals came terrible gas pains and bloating. I lost in weight and strength and my work as a fond shoreman was almost more than I could have had, rhombishness, but in, and the pains in my back, arms, shoulders and legs were awful. I tried medicine after medicine, but not one helped me."
My friend told me about Konjola, and I began the treatment. Just as I was told it would do, Konjola went right to work. In three weeks I found that I could not anything without distress. I kept well for it better than in a year. Then the rheumatic pains became less and less, and I am about through with that trouble. I was veryوحوالهخام. I have every belief that in two more weeks I will be absolutely free from the slightest touch of rheumatism. No wonder everyone is praising this wonderful medicine."
So it goes: triumph after triumph when Konjola is given a chance to prove its merits.
There is a Konjola Man at the Wexlan drug store. List street and Broadway, the store is at the Hancover drug store, 259 Bridge Street, near Pulton, Brooklyn, where daily they are meeting the public and explaining more about the common medical use of the public may also visit a Konjola Man at any of the following drug stores.

A Lincoln Luncheon
NOW is the time to think seriously about the unique things you can do for Lincoln's Birthday anniversary. If you want to have a luncheon, your invitations to this may be simply worded, and written either on paper that resembles birch bark or on white note paper rolled and edged to appear more decorated in imitation of a log.
If possible, have a log fire in the room where you receive your guests. Darken the room sufficiently to use candles. Red, white and blue should be the color scheme of the decorations, carried out either in flowers, crope paper or burning. In a room with a bush or a portrait of Lincoln surrounded by a wreath of laurel.
On the luncheon table use a red tablecloth like those in use many years ago, with white dolls and blue dishes. Candles and a lamp sit on the table, the light. A log cabin built of the "Lincoln legs," which can now be bought in most school supply stores, with a roof of bark, makes a pretty centerpiece it banked about with moss and lichen. The wood may lead from beneath, the rod to each place, where

Dear Girl Scouts:
We've just about two weeks now in which to "Be Prepared" for the big Boy and Girl Scouts' Rally. We've simply got to outdo the boys in knotting, first aid or something.
If you are to take part in any of the contests, your name should be sent to Miss Louise Parrott, 204 West 130th street, as soon as possible.
Scouts who camped at Emetova last season are meeting on Friday at 5 o'clock at the Urban League to arrange a special camp stunt for the rally. Be sure to come if you were one of the campers, so that the stunt may be really perfect by the night of Feb. 14.
A special award will be given for the troop whose attendance is 100 per cent at the rally and whose members contribute to the program. Help make your troop a winner. The twenty troops are expected to be represented.

Only a Clean Skin Can be Beautiful
The truly beautiful complexion is the result of cleansing the skin thoroughly every day to purge it of the dirt and grime that are in the air. The ideal treatment is to first use Poro Soap followed by the application of Poro Cold Cream—this combination leaves the skin clear and fresh and prevents enlarged pores and other blemishes.

Looking Your Best
By FANNETTE
Are Your Teeth Beautiful?
NO MATTER how homely you may be, or how good looking, you can improve your appearance greatly by having attractive teeth.
The essential thing is that your teeth be spottily clean at all times. Brushing them once a day isn't enough. They should be brushed at least twice a day and three times if possible. Brush them up and down, over and over again. Often you will find food clings in between the teeth. Dental floss will remove these tiny particles which, unless they are removed, can cause trouble.
Offtimes the gums bleed when you brush the teeth. If this happens continually, see your dentist—you may have pyorrhea. A mouth wash of salt and water will stop the bleeding but, just the same, it is best to find out the cause.
There are many good toothpastes on the market which are very effective, not only in cleansing the teeth but also in giving them that clean appearance. Everyone admires beautiful teeth and, with just a little effort, we can all have them.

How Do You Feel About It?
MRS. G. B. of Jersey, white, wants
to know how colored women feel
when white women marry colored
men. She wants to know if they are
offended or jealous. How about it,
ladies, how do you feel? Send in
your views.
I believe most colored women are
neither offended nor jealous. Most
often they feel sorry, because they
see trouble ahead.

tion in life. For example, take a colored lawyer who marries a white servant girl.
When it comes to marrying, a white man, although he may love a colored girl, thinks of the offspring and race pride generally keeps him from making a colored woman his wife and the legitimate mother of his children.
Do colored men put their race first? Let's hear your views, ladies.
Dear Mrs. G. B.:
You ask if I think you did wrong in marrying a colored man. What else could you have done? Surely, your baby came first. You didn't want it to come into this world without a name, did you? Since the affair had gone as far as it did, what else was there to do?
You say that now, since your colored husband is dead and you are left with a mulatto baby, no white man wants you. You want to know whether you should marry a Chinese or another colored suitor. Don't you

"Listen to the Mocking Bird"
"Listen to the Mocking Bird"
A FEW friends who periodically meet in that oasis called Harlem to chat on the amenities of things racial, this time took up the thread of the shouts, plantation melodies and many other things now unceremoniously called spirituals. The Victoria was used as a medium to bring back the musical score from the haunts of memory. A number of songs as nowadays recorded were performed afterwards was discussed the changes that took place in the interpolated to clear or muddle some phases of the original melody regardless whether the composition suffered in the song so popular during the sixties. Mocking Bird," having been played, a discussion ensued and answers to the question of "who was the composer?" were given. I was asked to bring forth such facts as would tend towards a solution of the matter. (1) A search for fragmentary data that might help unravel the story to the New York Public Library. Here we could only locate a copy of "Listen to the Mocking Bird," written
and dedicated to Anron Dutcher. This arrangement of the song was entered according to an Act of Congress in 1858 by Sepn Winner of Philadelphia, Pa. on behalf of Lee & Walker. (2) Septimus Winner was born in Philadelphia, Pa., on May 17, 1827, a successful music teacher and a composer of instruments. In 1853 he opened a music shop in his home city until the panic demoralized his business and he moved to Philadelphia in 1857. (3) It is said his musical compositions carried the non de plume of Alice Hawthorne. The contender for the composer of the song were the white friends who frequented his music shop in Philadelphia. While he was a songwriter, he listened to his most noted work: Listen to the Mocking Bird." Lee & Walker, music publishers, bought the copyright of this celebrated melody for $5 and it became a hit. When it netted the owners more than $100,000! Winner never expressed a regret for himself, feeling fully repaired and conferred upon the public.
(4) Soon as the song saw light of day it became a real "hit" and is even now occasionally heard on the radio for the personality per se (worrisome by the Violet seal score). (5) There seems to linger, however, a real shadow in the wake of the story of this song. "Its composition was a strange, a character called 'Whistling Died'," and darkey, who perambulated the streets of that city, strumming a guitar accompaniment to his whistling imitation of a mocking bird. Winner, the song, putting it down in written score that it may be sold as it is claimed by some, gave Dick $5 for the opportunity to take it down musically. Dick, in the end, and well, doubtless the "Mocking Bird" will be the most, enduring memento of the old Philadelphia musician. The late Daniel Murray, an assistant librarian of the Congressional Library, Washington D. C., a position

he held for more than fifty years, said, "Richard Milburn had the faculty of whishing to an extraordinarily talented musician. He was sufficiently skilled as a performer to accompany himself on a guitar. In the leisure moments of his teenage years, his attention to imitating the birds and particularly the masking bird."
(7) The world in general has accepted music of "Listen to the Mocking Bird" as the product of Septimus the man, who has been noted especially in these townsnown noted for his unerring instinct for finding rare tomes and curious apertaining to colored people one access a copy of "Listen to the Mocking Bird" to the townnown when he wrote the Philadelphia in 1855 and on the frontpiece says "Meledy by Richard Milburn, words and music by Alice Hawthorne. It was published by Seymour Winn and when he wrote the lyrics were conceded and who was musical besides." (8) "Because he was a prolific writer, the music of his song was attributed to him. Milburn, who worked in his father's barber shop next door to 'Lou' Cochran's tavern at Sixth and Lombard streets. It was soon discovered that he was musical, singing voice and whistling skill beyond reproach. His imitation of birds' whistling was indeed marvelous and the members of the Philadelphia community tractions of a musical sort in conjunction with their literary efforts, heard him and secured his services along the lines just indicated. It was a wonderful work, above. Being catehy, spores were nummying and whistling it. Coming to the notice of Winner, he sent for Milburn, who played, sung and wrote. While Winner wrote down the notes, Milburn knew nothing of musical notation but had an alert mind for composition. It spread over the compass, Winner won fame at the expense of another; and that other a colored man."
(9) We doubt statement that Lee & Walker bought the copyright of the celebrated melody for five dollars from Septimus Winner. We feel inclined to the opinion that the latter was the greatest melody and body. A man of the sagacity and acumen like Winner would not have thrown to the winds such an oo-

portunity to gather the silver coin
which a popular song might have
brought him, for it was well known
his music shop was not doing so well
in those days.
In the 1857 street branch of the New York Public Library we have located a copy of the original edition of our student book, *Bird Owner* by W. Carl Bohning, the title page reads: "To Aaron R. Dutcher, Sentimental Ethiopian Ballad; melody by Richard Milburn; written and arranged by Alice Hawk; accompanied according to Congress in the 1855 published by Winner & Shuster, (10). The version noted in the "Story of a Song" saying it was copyrighted by Lee & Walker in 1855 appears as a song by the same author, year 1855. Winner & Shuster brought out the same song, giving due credit to Richard Milburn, is fairly corroborated by Bolivar statement, the local Philadelphia historian of color, wrote in 1855, record, as evidence that he was the original melodist of the song. His appearance before the society of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in said town was heard by members whistle and his family melody, is of the greatest importance.
We are submitting both title pages of the song for we believe they silently carry a conviction of the truth it is meant to convey that they are from me. We want the reader to judge whether the 1855 edition states the fact, prima facie, or the edition subsequently printed by Lee & Walker under the name of Alice Hawthorne claims for himself the entire honor. We have made this examination and the other members of the roundtable join with me, though late, to the Talking Machine Company a plea to correct their record, in so far as the claim given to the world that Septimus M winner was the original composer but that the composer itself is吧 that the composer was a poor Negro musician. We are of opinion it would have been an act of meritorious service if in the subsequent musical arrangements of the song we were told the title of the original song crediting the melody to Richard Milburn and the words and music to himself. It could not have detracted in any degree from his secured position as musician and justice to one who was poorer than himself in the world's gifts.

Behold the Lion!
BY ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY.
See, the sun is shaking
In the far-off golden west;
And the birds and beasts have gathered
To engage in song and jest.
What is on the docket, brother—
Anything of great moment!
Let us hear from brother rooster,
For the time will soon be spent.
There is nothing I can tell you
Of the work I did today.
Speaking which the lady rooster
Felt he had his little say.
What about you, hating Billy!
You are a guest of great renown.
Have you nothing you can tell us
Of your dear old Gotham town!
Oh, there's plenty I can tell you.
But the time is not yet rite.
I don't feel so well, my brother,
'Cause I ate a piece of tripe.
Stop that laughing, you beena,
Have you any appetite?
Hurry up and let us have it.
Or you'll sing a round-deely.
Please don't have me to address you,
I'll be laughing at to kill.
Stay there, beaming for the hill.
Suddenly the bushes parted
And a dooleful voice was heard;
It was hard to tell what was it.
Whether it was beast or bird.
Birds and beasts all gathered closer.
Birds singing and searched them still;
Then they in a rock came
And inlaid a stinking whiff.
The stench assailed their nostilis
And they took it on the run;
Could not hold their little meeting,
Could not have their little fun.

Some weeks ago a letter came from a mother in New Jersey to the dramatic editor and among other things she stated: "I am the mother of four children, the oldest sixteen and the latter likes your verses entitled 'To a Spear Hero,' so I am the mother of a girl named Hera.' Dressed in the flowing robes of Biblical times and carrying a sword, he was the hit of the night." Sometimes out of evil comes good. When we wrote the lines we had a picture, in our mind of a gaunt figure carrying a spear in a dress, we were in the theatre some years ago. We hope our New Jersey friend will use the above lines as a bed-time story in verse for the younger children. The moral is not hidden.

Reeds Celebrate 25th Anniversary
Utopia Club Leader and Popular Doctor Entertain at Corona, L., Home
(By ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY)
There are few people it gives me greater pleasure to write about than Dr. and Mrs. Albert S. Reed of Corona, L. I. Some weeks ago when the Amsterdam News celebrated its twelfth anniversary with a special number we thought it most appropriate that the name of Mrs. Daisy Reed should grace a section at the head of one of the most intelligently written articles.
Mrs. Reed from the first day this writer entered the field with the Amsterdam News contributed in large measure towards what success we have found here, for she was deeply impressed by the younger generation physically, mentally and morally and a large share of that energy which she has so far achieved. The borough Club she also gave to the Amsterdam News, thereby helping to make it the outstanding paper in New York in the amusement world.
When the Utopia Neighborhood Club made its initial public appearance at the New Star Casino many identified with those other women practically starting the work which was to blossom forth in such a concrete way later. When the Eggplant and Lemonade Page of this paper also started she wished on the firing line as she had decided to enjoy the comforts of a commodious home in Corona, and again the Amsterdam News had much to thank for her work. Her work in behalf of this publication was unselfish because of her desire for the improvement of living conditions among Negroes and begging to foster a paper seeking to foster the masses and classes in every way.
All during this time her husband, Dr. Reed, was doing his work modestly and without a desire for the blare which we find among the drums which we find among so many of his calling in this day and time. Dr. Reed belongs to that class of men who take pride in not only contributing what he can in every way to the success of which he is an outstanding member, but a certain joy in being able to help make it possible for his constant and amiable wife to carry on that work which will leave a name of quality of which they can both feel proud. And so it was with a glow of satisfaction that scores of their friends

gathered at their commodious residence at Corona last Saturday evening, believing they were bidden to a "dinner dance" only to discover that the Reeds were celebrating a quarter of a century on that matrimonial sea which has found them skillfully directing their ship towards a true Utopia where men and women of high character and attainments arrive at the end of their journey. Not a person should have deemed that the Reeds sailed so wielding an enchanting sea for such a long time until Dr. William H. Cargill of Baltimore, a cousin of Mrs. Reed, played the role of the captain and Reverend George W. Hinton Corona was seen descending the stairs of the beautiful home bedecked in his clerical garb to welcome Dr. and Mrs. Philip who entered from the porch.
A splendid eulogy to the Reeds from the reverend gentlemen and the guests repaired to the dining table for a course dinner. During the dance which followed many clever novelties were introduced and souvenirs redeemed, the ladies were handsome, with all the men in evening attire. Mrs. Reed wore a silver lame gown with elegance, the Grecian node. Its only trimming was as a girdle which hung to the bottom. She carried a bouquet of illies. The house was decorated with flowers and other flowers. Dinner was served and the guests and the cooler was served and the clock was came when they later dance. If we show a certain selfishness in today recording the "events of that summer," we can see amusement pages instead of the Brooklyn and Long Island Page of this paper, it is because we of the Utopia club did much to raise the entertainment in Greater New York during the past twenty years.
Too there is a certain sense of gratitude to this unselfish woman who gave me of her time to help and encourage, and correspondent when he came, unheralded and unsung, to a sphere of activity gloriously marked not only by the beauty of the work of this paper, but the more recent celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of a couple to whom we extend best wishes and a since hope that the woman will be able to them enjoying the merited fruits of their labor on their journey through

HONESTY
SOMETHING GREAT
within the breast of each there lies
The wish to do something that's great,
That all shall see, and yet defies
The jealous hordes to emulate.
Theure of gold does not impi,
Doth not inspire our frame-macked
If we die peppless, ah, well!
If we die peniless, ah, well!
What matter, If we reach the goal!
That countless men have sought in valsa.
Through fevered nights and anguished
If we but write with gold our name
and listen to the world's sweet
praise!
To die—and have the world ignore
our passing—all that we want a shame!
Eat our flesh, implore, implore,
a ublius in the Hall of Fame.
Observe or hamble be our birth;
Whatever cllure, race or land;
The meek, the lovely of the earth,
Cannot escape ambition's brand.
Alas! that time should be so fleet;
Our goal seems ever just shend;
Time pauses but for our knox and
and men must be the brand,
—MELLOW MUSINGS.
OF all the virtues, honesty to me seems to be the most comprehensive and inclusive. If one would attain greatness one would have only to practice honesty in its broad sense. Honesty implies more than veracity. A person who speaks the truth and who does not steal is generally conceded to be honest. Honesty also includes chastity, decency, modesty and candor. One can't be honest with mental reservation. An honest person cannot dissemble, be affected or hypocritical. It is not enough that he be honest in our intercourse with others, it is vastly more important that we be honest wilt hourselfs. Shakespeare wrote: "This above all, she owes herself and allow us to light the day, thou must not then be false to any man." More than any other one thing is honesty is lowering the morale of our profession. We are not honest in our opinions and our criticisms of other performers. We are not honest in our offers of assistance or our deeds of co-operation. We say one thing and mean another. Orally we wish each other success, while menly hoping for failure. We tell the actor, producer, composer or manager that the show is great and no sooner will it be successful than all else that the show is punk. Nine times out of ten, the expressed opinion or criticism from one actor of another should be discredited and frauded false or prejudiced.
When adversity strikes us, we are humble, contrite and repentant of our excesses, indiscretions and follies. We promise never to forget those who favor us. We vow we will pay our honest debts, but when prosperity comes to the average jookede he seems suddenly to be stricken with a sense of guilt. Old friends, and old acquaintances two things he seems unable to recall. He is as sensitive as a bonedon with those who have favored him, he seems to resent the former obligation.
Speech is only used by the average jookede to disguise his real meaning. Pronises are without significance or value. His promises are only bogus checks issued on the bank of truth. It would be interesting to make note of the number of promises made and broken in just one day. An amateur in the average show girl's promise would accept an invitation to go in bathing with a hinny crocodile.
Too often we are dishonest with the public that makes it possible for us to earn our living. We neglect our work, our health and our business and must resort to "faking" to get by. Our honest person cannot be guilty of imbalance and ingratitude, engendered by egoism and selfishness, seems to be the cardinal sin of the performer. Too often we are ungrateful to those who have given us long periods of employment. We are humble in adversity but wolf-hounds when prosperity. Let a joke lends who has been a "stinky" panhandler get $100 ahead of his next meal and he is as easy to handle as a Bengal tiger with a toothache. We are jealous, envious, covious and too often downright mean. We seem to be unable to get together for any movement for our mutual protection, benefit and adjustment. We are too dishonest to take an effort to learn the truth or to tell the truth about those who are willing to make personal sacrifice to effect permanent organization. We are not enough enought to loyalty support the fortune of our group who attain stardom; we join the apology, while in our hearts most of us pray, plan or wish for failure. We are not honest enough to give our stamp of approval to the white critics and public have announced them, then we grudgibly concede their merit. If you would be best, BE HONEST.
"Live Ghosts" at the Popular Roosevelt Theatre
The famous stage play which ran for over a year on Broadway and in London. "Three Live Ghosts," has been made into an all-talking picture and all the humor, pathos and drama, the original story have been retained and heightened by the greater interest in treatment permitted by the motion picture.
"Three Live Ghosts" will be shown
on Saturday, Sunday
and Monday.

WHITNEY SAYS ACTORS NOT TRULY HONEST Lewis Writes Another Chapter in Harlem Sketch Book
Butterbeans, Susie Share Honors With Swanson
A delightful revue, headed by one of the most popular teams on the colored musical comedy stage and a great talking picture starring one of the greatest of screen celebrities, make up the splendid show being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week. The comedians are Butterbeans and Susie, who appear at the head of a cast of some thirty-five players in "Frolics of 1030"; the picture is Gloria Swanson's sensational talking drama, "The Trespasser."
Butterbeans and Susie bring their company to New York only once a year. Their annual visit is awaited with considerable anticipation by Harlem theatrregers, for they have learned to expect one of the finest of laughing shows when Butterbeans Susie are in town. Their expectation, for this time, for the show now being presented at the Lafayette Theatre is by far one of the funniest, one of the most entertaining, of their lives. They are assisted by an excellent cast, including Lee and Wright, the Famous Gibson Family, Mary and the Mystery of the Leggs and Corinne, most versatile of dancing and singling subtitles. The reception accorded to Butterbeans and Susie Saturday reached the respondent with twenty minutes of entirely new and hilarious funny comedy—the kind which has made the universe wherever audiences like to laugh.
The feature picture, "The Trespasser," is one of the year's most fascinating talking pictures. Gloria Swanson is seen and heard for the first time in a play program also includes the funniest Vitaphone comedy act which has yet been produced: Eddie Green, the noted colored comedian, in "Sending a Wire," the riotously funny comedy which kept thousands shaking with laughter as the main comedies situation in "Connie's Hot Chocolates."
Clarence Robinson Revue At Lafayette Next Week
A group of talented entertainers will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre next week in Carence Robinson's Plantation Revue, an elaborate and entertaining show designed to be one of the best stage entertainments which has graced a local stage this year. This group includes Eddie Rector, Joris Rector, and other equally known comedians, dancers, musicians and dramatic artists. The feature photoplay for the week will be Richard Barthelems' new talking picture hit, "Young Noheres"
"Gold Diggers of B'way" At the New Douglas
Beginning Saturday, Feb. 1, "The Gold Diggers of Broadway" will be presented at the New Douglas Theatre. The cast of "Gold Diggers" reads like a theatrical producer's dream: Nick Lucas, famous radio and recording star; Ann Pennington, whose dancing feet will astound you; Winkle Lighter, musical comedy star whose laughter; Conway Teerle, as the "sucker" will awaken all your sympathy; Gertrude Short and Helen Foster as the cute little "gold diggers" of the 1950s; Lilyan Tashman, who is probably the ritziest; gold digger on the screen, and a hundred girls in a chorus that sing and dance like "nobody's business." Without a doubt this picture will give bargain in entertainment value even offered to the picture-going public.
And the music—nine beautiful peppy song hits that will keep you whistling for weeks after you've seen all the songs, all the dancing and all-color production yet made, "The Gold Diggers of Broadway."
$40,000 Sound Equipment Secured for Monarch Ball
In keeping with the oft-said slogan "Mi-Tee Monarch Does Big Things," the use of the $40,000 sound equipment at Madison Square Garden was secured at additional expense for the twelfth fourth Mi-Tee Monarch anthem reception, Wednesday evening, March 28.
Last year the band was placed in the center of the Garden and additional musicians secured to enable everyone to see, hear and enjoy the dance program. The arrangement was written by the band in the year, but not to a standard where every one was satisfied.
This year the ball committee consulted sound engineers to find out what could be done to enable every one to hear the music over the noise and to ensure the sound equipment at the Garden as advised by the engineers.
A test of this equipment proved that a whisper could be magnified and not only in the Garden but side with the doors closed if necessary.
New Negro Art Theatre
The New Negro Art Theatre has acquired a studio in Harlem over in the Urban League Building through James H. Hubert, executive secretary. Next Sunday evening at the studio the theatre will inaugurate the first series of Sunday evening divertissements. An all Negro cast of professionals, including Hensley Winfield, Larry Foran, Enid Bruthawth, Beatrice Wells, Vere Everette Johns, Jean Donnell and De Coverley. The very first feature will be presented will be a unique feature in itself. However, scenes from "Macbeth," "King Lear," "The Silver King," will be handled, also of course, by "Manchester" is a play from the pen of Larry Lorre, who has been the press representative for the New Negro Art Theatre for the past two years. These Sunday evening divertissements will start at nine o'clock.
The Harlem Sketch Book
Comment and Gossip of the Uptown White Way
By THEOPHILUS LEWIS
A little snow to help efface
the bacthe pile and push for places
A shining wrap of virgin white
wool with a sweet smell
With people bent beneath the wind,
All bundled up from end to end.
Electric lights a golden glow
Around dance hall and picture show
With people bent beneath the wind
Along all the avenue
Then Harlem always seems its best-
Fragile, fairy-like and blast.
But when the snow begins to slush,
Lorat. "What she looks like makes you
blush."
—NEBA JANMATH.
Wisdom of a Harlem Woollottcott
OUT of the way, innocent bystander
while I lay down a barrage of
brickbake on the street, the charter
member and dean of the stringing-
singer boy school of theatre cities.
The following is one of the dean's
more recent contributions to the
world's fund of brilliant ideas.
"Compare any of the highbrow daily newspapers with the successful, powerful publications like the Hearst papers, the Graphic, the Daily News and the Evening Telegram. Compare any or all of the highbrow metropolitan newspapers with the daily seating capacity with the less pretentious houses but greater seating capacity and note to which the public flocks."
All right. Mestro, let us compare. The biggest newspaper success in the world, editorially and financially, is the New York Times, a smoother journal that frontpages world politics, science, education and finance while crowding crime and scandal news to the inside sheets. Co spare the high class books and the circulation and prestige with the Mirror, which is hanging on by the skin of its teeth, so to speak. The Graphic may have a larger circulation than the Sun, but there is not a newspaper man this side of kingdom come who would claim that the tabloid is as successful as the Sun either from an editorial or financial point of view. Mr. Hearest's American was so successful as a mass paper that pumphered American and at present its plutocratic publisher is making a desperate effort to keep it off the rocks by changing its appeal from mass to class. Finally, it will surprise the Scripps-Howard people to learn that the Telegram is in the same class with the Mirror and Graphic. When hired Robert Garland, Harry Bentley and gave their news columns a decided literary slant they thought they were producing a paper nobody could afford to highhat.
Having assisted the Dean to show what he doesn't know about the newspaper racket, I will now help him to reveal how misinformed he is about current conditions in the theatre. He seems to be under the impression that there are certain small theatres dedicated solely to college professor entertainment, while certain mammoth houses devote their stages exclusively to Woolworth amusement. Anybody who has been south of Seventy-second street since the war knows this is nonsense. There are no high class theatres in the theatre and there are small theatres and you can hire any of them for anything from a circus to a symphony concert, provided you don't create a public nuisance, and provided that you obey the fire and sanitary laws and do not damage the property.
If the dean means that the current hard times in show business are confined to quality amusement while everything is jake in the low class field he is talking through his Truly Warner. Vaudeville, once the most profitable branch of amusement, has practically disappeared, there being at present only nine theatres in the country devoted to it exclusively. Burlesque, another cheap form of entertainment, is sliding downhill so fast that outside of New York they are playing with skeleton companies. On the other hand, Mr. Ziegfeld and

Mr. Carroll are still doing business, but not at the old stands. No sir, they have moved to bigger, better and swankier establishments.
If one really wants to know to what shows the public is flocking one can find out by reading the Golden Dozen of the Daily News. Of musical shows, the public seems to prefer the "Little Show," a piece that the critics had not cold shoulder. The curtain has been rolled up 310 times. Next week's "Sweet Bees" (SBW) are 241 times. Finally, "Sweet Adeline," the piece Heywood Broun goes to see every other night, 167 times and still going strong.
Turning to drama the public shows an even stronger preference for quality entertainment. "Street Scene," a decidedly highbrow piece which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, has been packing them in for 463 performances. "Journey's End," an imported blit of "clawns" from England, has 354 curtains to its credit, and they have been flocking to the intellectual Mr. John Drinkwater's "Bird in Hand." for 341 performances.
There is, of course, a sort of Gresham's law of the theatre that operates generally to the advantage of cheap amusement. But our Harlem Woollott can't hasn't the slightest dea what Gresham's law is, so it is useless to discur: the theatre from that point of view at this time. What stands out is this, the learned dean tries to show that cheap journalism pays better than quality amusement. The fact is that out of the ten first American newspapers, seven, perhaps eight, are high class papers. He tries to show that cheap amusement pays better than quality amusement. The fact is that the best paying productions in town belong in the quality field. When a man can be so far wrong on a matter that's plain as daylight, a matter that can be verified by ten minutes' reading of the columns of the daily papers is his expertise when he attempts to analyze that indefinable something known as public taste. In other words, what are his qualifications as a critic of the theatre?
Perhaps he is not a messenger boy for the same reason that Bungleton Green is not a messenger boy—because he would not know enough to deliver the messages to the right party. He is like the girl who lost her job in the five-and-ten-cent store because she could not remember the offices.

Odeon Offers Some Fine Screen Entertainment
One of the strangest events in fact or fiction occurs when two children enter their father's love nest, face the challenge of finding a girl he "go back to the underworld where you belong."

The picture which you will want to see more than once.
One of the most noted stars will be seen at the Odeon on Saturday, Sunday and Monday for a story which the magic of the talking screen has yet given to us. The picture is "EVIDENCE: the star, Paulline," she writes, "is Edward as an even more gripping story of mother love and sacrifice than 'Madame X.' The east chosen to enact the story is the splendid one, including Lowell Sherman, Alex B. Francis, Conway Tearle and William Courtney.

Former "Porgy" Player With Alhambra Players
Friendship—the loyalty of three young men who graduate together from college and the varying fates of their peers—the theme of "After Twenty Years," this week's drama at the Alhambra Theatre.
Smiles and tears alternate through the two years of Verweyn who has just concluded a run of nearly two years with the Theatre Guild's play, "Porgy," received a second run in 2013. Ted Blackmon are the others of the "Three Musketeers" of college days. Eventually Verweyn is governor of the state, Mosley is an eminent playwright, Blackmon after marrying an actress, disappears.
A poor wretch, condemned to the electric chair, proves to be the lost hero of the play, and his demise him, but fate will otherwise and the play ends in an emotional climax.
Hilda Offley Arle Gain and Johnnie Campbell are the women who influence the lives of the three pals—for better or for worse.
"Flirtations," the music and comedy brings Johnny Lee Long to Johnny Markham in a series of absurdities.
The program begins with a well-staged singing number in which Lil-

That meant so much to me!

JAMES, Jacob II.—In memory of my dear husband, who departed this life January 27, 1825.
A chair is vacant in my home
Which never can be filled;
A husband's love is missing here,
But I remember still
Twas just two years ago
God called him home to live;
I knew not then with aching heart
How hard it was to give.
When evening shades are falling
And I am sitting alone
There is many and many a heartache
I suffer in silence alone;
There is many and many a tear that is still
That never will be known;
I often sit and think of you
When I am all alone.
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
I mourn you, in silence unseen,
And dwell on the memory
of days that have been,
Though gone and forgotten
my friends you may be,
The grave that contains you
is saired to me.

Business, Youth and Destruction of Creeds Resound in Church Messages
Williams C.M.E. Pastor Asserts Congregation Should Take Definite Stand on Enterprises-St. David's Anniversary
The church's responsibility in the cultivation of business, the spirit of youth in religion, and the need to discard creeds and dogmas were the principal themes of sermons delivered Sunday morning in Harlem pulpits.
Instituting the congregation's "Better Community" program, the Rev. Noah W. Clark, pastor of Williams Institutional C. M. E. Church, 218 West 130th street, declared that the church owes worthy business, its complete co-operation and encouragement. On the other hand, he asserted, unworthy commercial enterprise should be vigorously opposed until it is destroyed.
The church opened its week-day Bible school yesterday afternoon.
Creeds and "isms" offer no means of entrance to heaven, the Rev. R. A. Bolden, assistant pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Edgecombe avenue at 137th street, said in his discourse. Any religion used to benefit its advocates commercially was deployed by the minister.
Baker, white, secretary of the Harlem Federation of Churches.
While his pulpit was filled by the Rev. Mr. Savage, the Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James' preached to students of Howard University in Washington. Later in the day he spoke at St. Paul's Congregational Church, Brooklyn.
To Mark Anniversary.
St. David's Church, 384 East 160th street, the Bronx, will mark its thirty-sixth anniversary with celebration of the communion Sunday morning. The Rev. Charles K. Gilbert will be the speaker. The Rev Arthur G. Bet is vicar.
The Rev. Maximo P. Duty was the morning speaker at St. Cypryan's Church, 175 West Sixty-third street. The vicar, the Rev John W. John-
St. James Presbyterian Church, 141st street at St. Nicholas avenue, opened its observance of Youth Week Sunday morning with a sermon by the Rev. Theodore Fiske Savage, white, secretary, of the New York Presbytery. Senior and junior boys of the church will be addressed tomorrow evening by the Rev. Paul E.
THOMAS, Mack—In memory of beloved husband and father, who died January 17, 1925.
There is a great voice that is missing. A great heart that will always be still.
A vacant chair in our home. That never can be filled.
The flowers we placed upon his grave Will wither and decay.
But the love for him that sleeps beneath Will never fade away.
Wife, MARY THOMAS, and the Family.
MITH, Josephine—In sad and loving memory of my dear mother, who departed this life January 29, 1927.
Dear mother, you are not forgotten. Though on earth you are no more. Still in memory you are with us. As you always were before.
Daughter and Son-in-Law, ETHEL and EVERETT.
STUART, Margaret Underwood—In sad but loving memory of my friend, who fell asleep January 29, 1923.
Gone, but not forgotten.
TO THE MEMORY of our dear mother,
Eden Dayton, who departed this life
January 25, 1927.
Three years today, our hearts still
sore:
As time passes on we miss you more.
Your gentle smile, your loving face—
No one can fill your vignette place.
Lonely we are without you, dear,
How we miss you no one knows.
Wait and watch for our coming some
sweet day by and by.

pain which she, for many months,
bore with Christian fortitude, to that
City beyond the slopes to dwell with
the loveliest woman, whom she, from
her earliest days, had learned to love,
worship and love.
Just a little while, Nell, and we also shall come to that same river, and, O. Lord, grant that we may meet and live with You in that City, and live with us in the heavens, but externally in the heavens with our Lord. JAMES L. and JULIAN T. DREW.
UNDERWOOD, Oliver C.—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear nephew, who died four years ago, January 21, 1926.
Four years have passed, and that parting. Was like taking away the sunshine, It is a lonely life without you, But it must meet mees. Where parting goes more.

SECOND SECTION
TO GIVE JOINT RECITAL
AT STEINWAY HALL
Walter Smith, dramatic reader, and Grace Dunlap sewer, pianist, will appear in joint recital Sunday afternoon at Steinway Hall, 113 West Fifty-seventh street.
Mr. Smith is a native of Wilmington, N. C., and is a graduate of the Howard University School of Business. He has been a pupil of Richard B. Harrison and has toured the East and South and over the radio Grace Dunlap Sewer, formerly of Colorado Springs, Col., received her training at the Chicago Musical College and has toured the West and Middle West.
Finally, Mr. Downs says, circumstances which may logically cause a pessimistic turn of mind on the part of a musician, who has to find another job suddenly; or the manager, who sees the market for his artists disturbed and adversely effected; or the amateur of music, who will never be satisfied with mechanical standards of performance, will eventually result in wider artistic horizons than we yet have known.
Clarence C. White, violinist-composer, was heard in a violin recital Sunday afternoon at the International House. Mr. White began his program with "Glaccona in G Minor" by Vitalt, followed by Sinding's "Romance in E Minor"; "Vlennese Melody by Heuberger-Kretsler; Massenet's 'Twilight' and 'Pizzicato' by Thome.
The two very interesting numbers of S. Coleridge-Taylor, the "Ballade in C Minor" and "African Dance No. 1", composed the second group. Massenet's "Serenade," "On the Bayou," "Camp Song" (Water-Boy), "Negro Chant" and "Negro Dance" concluded the program.
The audience was responsive and seemed to enjoy these renditions. Especially did it show enthusiasm after the second and third groups. Of Mr. White's compositions, the "Serenade" and the "Camp Song" were most enjoyed. The "Negro Chant," an elaboration of "Nobody Knows de Treuble Ive Seen," and the "Negro Dance" in which appeared the theme, Song of Life with a Motherless Child" showed skill in the development of Negro themes.
Mr. White was given the Harmon award of $400 and a gold medal for his works in composition; also a Julius Rosenwald scholarship of two years abroad for the purpose of working on a Negro opera.
Beatrice Warrick White was the splendid accompanist at the piano.
The Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., will present C. Edwin Coates, the distinguished pianist, in recital the third week of April, as 4:30 p. m. This is the second of series of recitals given by the faculty. Mr. Coates will play compositions from Chopin, Franck, Ravel, Moszkowski, and others.
Mr. and Mrs. Ecklee Give Recital
The Imperial Elks' Auditorium, 60 West 129th street, was the scene of a joint song recital by John and Blanche Eckles on last Sunday afternoon at 3:30. The program, though not extremely taxing from the standpoint of its vocal demands, contained material of a variety and caliber sufficient to display the wares of any accomplished recitalist.
Mr. Eckles' main contributions were four familiar, though rather hackneyed numbers, the lovely old Italian air "Caro mio ben," the two well-known arias "Vest la gluaba" and "La donna e mobile," the former from "Pagliacce" and the latter from Rigoletto, and Hideley for Confort Y Bouffant. Considering Mr. Eckles is only very moderately gifted as to voice and the use of it, he is to be congratulated, at least for recital to achieve. His best number was the Handel aria, although even in his voice and technic were never equal to the song demand, which composition, course, requires a resonant, flexible voice, well-placed and handled judiciously.
Similarly, Mrs. Eckles was at her best in the oratorio selection, the well-known Haydn alr, "With Verdure Clad." In this she displayed for the most part a smoothness of voice and a soft quality that at times was very pleasant to listen to. This pleasure, however, was often interrupted if not destroyed by her constant habit of off key. This fault was particularly noticeable in her high notes, these often being a semitone flat. Carl Diton's accompaniments at the pleno were well done.
Unfortunately, during the period of the concert, noise which sounded like a cross between a camp meeting and a gymnasium, basketball game pervaded the auditorium and almost defeated every musical effort. U.-G.
The Women's Guild presented the Schubert Music Club in a musicale Sunday afternoon at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 122d street and Lenoix Avenue, Edward H. Margetson, director of this club, is not only able musician, but he knows the proper method of obtaining the best results from those under his leadership. He lectures to this club on the construction of music, its appreciation, composers and their type of music. He stresses the seriousness in the study of music from the standpoint of art for art's sake, discouraging stardom.
in the motto of the club is: "Keep vanily far away from me." The result of such training was clearly
SECOND SECTION
MUSIC
BY CORA GARY ILIDGE.
What's to Become
Or Orchestras?
One of the best descriptions of the present conditions of musical entertainment is that musicians was given in such a place "Mechanism and Art," begun Downs in Sunday's New York Times. He says that the distinctions consequences of the installation of music reproducing devices in theaters and moving picture houses apply equally to the practical affairs of orchestral players and to the art of music. Thousands of orchestral musicians are of employment in this country and Canada; other thousands have abandoned music as a profession and have directed their services into other fields.
This situation is serious not only for these musicians, but for art and entertainment in America. Approximately 30,000 orchestral players have been suddenly deprived of a living in the last two years. As soon as the new mechanisms became practicable in the theatre, whole orchestras were discharged without ceremony. Salaries of the theatre conductors have been cut, and there is less incentive today than there has been for a half century for men to prepare themselves for careers as orchestral players.
As bad as this condition is at present, it would be a worse inquiry for the future if it were not for signs acknowledges that the mute is at last summoning to its last injuries in the public is becoming the barely aware of the impositions imposed upon it in the inferior and intricate quality of the music for which it pays the same prices as formerly it paid for real orchestral playing and other musical entertainment, frequently of a high quality, in the theatre.
Already protests have been made, and are being heeded, in a few isolated theaters in the United States, and a few orchestral players have been reinstated. The one big moving picture theatre in New York City to retain a full-sized orchestra and utilize its resources to the utmost is Roys's. The orchestras of former days cannot be replaced by machines with anything but a great loss of musical quality and effect. It has not come when music like an exact and seated reproduction of musical can be contrived by the mechanisms, and even then, when that day does come, the artificial process can never take the place of instrumental tone which expresses the personal, emotional, originary impulses of men and women.
Mr. Dowden further states that the mechanism is valuable in its proper place, namely, the means of preserving sound, the means of performing the performers whose art on the stage would otherwise cease to exist in books of history and criticism. That before many years little towns and hamlets remote from civic centers will hear whole operas and the entire orchestra, and that they see the performers on the stage. Then the art of sound will be the common

Utopia Group Gets Deed, Project Head Announces
The final deed to Utopia Park, an exclusive settlement in Atlantic Highlands. N. J., was delivered to the promoters of the project on Saturday, according to a statement by Elder James K. Humphrey, pastor of the west 131st street Seventh Day Adventist Church and chief sponsor of the new development. Utopia Park was the center of most litigation recently when Elder Humphrey, the white governing body of his church, promoting a reality scheme without their consent or knowledge. As a result of this controversy, the Harlem Seventh Day Adventist Church has broken all connections with the Greater New York Conference, the white governing body, and is now an independent institution.
The idea of establishing an exclusive neighborhood for Negroes came to the attention declared, as a result of discrimination practice against them by the white Seventh Day Adventists throughout the country.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1930
Radio News and Programs BY RICHARD L. BALTIMORE
(Continued from last week.)
One frequently hears the statement that the operating time in a minitank is limited to three-quarters of a cent an hour. While this difference is negligible when considered on an hourly basis, it is appreciable over a period of a month. It is used about ten hours each day, between five and six hours in the evening and about four hours during the daytime. The average rate in New York City for a thirty-day month on a basis of 1,000 watts of electrical energy. If a receiver consumes 100 watts an hour it means 7.5 cents a day and about $2.25 for a thirty-day month on a basis of 1,000 watts of electrical energy. If a receiver consumes 100 watts an hour it means 7.5 cents a day and about $2.25 for a thirty-day month on a basis of 1,000 watts of electrical energy. If a receiver consumes 100 watts an hour, the cost per day of ten-hour length is five cents, and for a month of thirty days the cost is $1.50. The difference between these two rates is one-half an hour, which is called into a normal light bill of $2.25.
An analysis of approximately 200 different models of receivers in the form of measurement of the input power to the receivers in the modern model of the modern radio receivers (made by John F. Rider) shows an average hourly power consumption of approximately 90 watts. At a rate of 7.5 cents per thousand hours, the power consumption of the modern model costs per hour of operation, which is the equivalent of $63 cents per day of ten-hour length and $2.02 for period of a thirty-day month. Assuming five-hour operation per day, the cost of such receivers is $1.02 per day of the modern month. The difference in operating cost of a receiver purchased two years ago and one of the modern type is appreciable, averaging about 50 per cent. Our reference to the old model is that of the newly required receiver is one of the most powerful, the power consumption may be from 300 to 400 per cent greater. Fortunately, if we are to judge by the receivers we will constist of fewer tubes and then present models, because normal operation does not require the high power output available with the modern model, which will be conductive in lower operating cost.
Aid Lower Wave Stations
Stations, near and far, on the lower end of the broadcast span, once referred to as "the graveyard," are now of superiority of the latest model receivers to those of past years.
Uniform amplification from one end of the dial to the other has been most successful, particularly those their audiences all over the country, reports Alfred H. Grebe. People are mentioning their surprise at picking up many stations on 200 to 240 and 250 meters—particularly those on 200 to 214 meters—that they never recorded before.
Chain programs are carried by several of these stations and have come closely in on these channels at celebrations. The crowding of stations on the higher frequencies of the broadcast band, together with the super-sensitive sets since screen grid tubes have come into use, has caused the stereo heterodyning. But this is not always the rule under favorable conditions and veterans in broadcast reception, as well as those getting such thrills for the first time, as listeners among stations on lower wavelengths, on low as well as high power.
Justin Elle, the Halitan composer, whose researches in the folk songs of the West Indies have made him famous, contribute to the musical inspirations, "Prayer at Eventide," to the program of Slumber Music which Ludwig Laurier and a string ensemble will broadcast over WJZ Friday night at 11 o'clock. The religious opening theme of this composition leads to an impassioned melody that is finely developed. At the close of the piece the plexus with an unexpected transition to the major, as if the prayer had been answered.

Negro Clerks for Harlem Stores Set as Goal of Federation
Announcing as its goal the placing of Negroes as clerks in all the stores of Harlem which depend upon them for support, the Co-operative Committee on Employment, composed of representatives from all the leading social agencies of Harlem, held a Friday afternoon at the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. Samuel A. Allen, industrial secretary of the New York Urban League and chairman of the employment committee, outlined the plans of the organization for the next three months. The committee, according to Mr. Allen, will make a survey of the city's opportunities to increase the Employees will be visited by the committee and asked why they do not employ Negroes.
Mrs. Pauline Blocher, chairman of the Housewives' League, spoke of her organization of the housewives of Harlem and their fight to force white employers to engage Negroes in their stores, especially those stores dependant on their support. The Housewives' chair, according to Mrs. Blocher, is meeting with enthusiasm among the women of Harlem. This organization meets weekly on Monday evenings at the Urban League, 200 West 136th street. Indicative of the increasing appreciation of 'the Negro's buying power by the white man was the employment last week of seven men by L. Blumstein of his department store West 125th street, seven Seventh and Eighth avenues. A doorman and six elevator men were employed by Mr. Blumstein.
A committee from the Harlem Housewives' League, composed of Mrs. Blocher, Mrs. Bessy Bearden and Mrs. Eva Parks, called upon the manager of the Blumstein store and thanked him on behalf of the league.
"He said that as soon as the policy of the store could be worked out they would employ Negroes as clerks in sales departments," Mrs. Blocher said.
Further proof of the increasing recognition of the buying power of the Negro will be seen in Harlem in a few weeks, when the West 135th street branch of Western Union Telegraph Company will be manned by an entire Negro staff. This branch is located at 200 West 135th street.
Fire Guts Apartment and Threatens Business Block
Fire of an undetermined origin swept an apartment in the business block of Seventh avenue between 134th and 135th streets Friday afternoon. The blaze at 2283 Seventh avenue threatened other apartments and business establishments, but was soon under control. The fire started in the apartment of The Art of James Morris on the second floor of the building. Both were away from home at the time. Policeman Henman of the West 35th street police station was on duty directly across the street from the house, and noticing smoke pouring from one of the windows, turned in the alarm. When the fire engines arrived, the fire was well under way and flames were shooting from both windows of the apartment. The quick work of the firemen checked the spread of the flames, but Morris apartment had been gutted of all its furnishings, which were not insured. Damage was confined to this one apartment.

FOR MICHIGAN OFFICE
DETROIT, Jan. 27 (A. N. P.)—Once again two Negroes in this city loom up as possible candidates for high positions in the state government, which means that a terrific political battle here is in the offing.
Attorney Francis M. Dent was the first to announce his candidacy for State Senator from the third Semenorial district of Detroit and Wayne County. Attorney Charles Roxborough, a week later, came out with his announcement for the same position.

"Cricket Is Stupid"
BY B. M. CLARK.
WHEN we know a sport thoroughly we feel hurt when it is unjustly criticised; and when we do not know it very well, we ourselves are apt to speak lightly of it. Such is the common human tenacity, the common expression of a glaring human weakness.
"Cricket, that English game," say some people who do not understand the pastime, "is stupid. It is dull. I can't make heads or tails of it and I've been sitting here all afternoon. What on earth are those men doing changing positions every few minutes and running all over the field after that little red ball and then taking time out for tea? What a sport! what a crazy game! Lord. save me from it."
And so is summed up in a few words the general opinion of those who do not know the popular English pastime.
Cricket, however, when played by experts, is a thing of beauty. It is perhaps the most interesting, the most thrilling of sports that man taken to as an amateur, Troy who has been well, and have had the unique pleasure of seeing an All-England XI. play against an Australian side, consider it a gorgeous spectacle; a rare treat. In this we will have to agree, for in this we one hundred twenty thousand and human beings assemble for any particular purpose they cannot be very badly deceived. Who that have seen the mighty Babe Ruth swapper up to the plate and with apparent nonchalance slug the ball far over the left field bleachers should think the baseball a crazy sport, or of saying it is stupid? Yet some have been known
Who that have sat in the presence of the brilliant William T. Tilden while he unmercifully lambasted the ball, and ran his bewildered opponent around the court in utter despair, finally hanging a 6-0, 6-0 collar around his neck, should call ladies' game? or the delightful Bill a "Sissy"? It is like it, that sport of his body and no one dares to observe.
Consider the popular Jack Hobbs, the darling of English cricketers. His inspired willow has sent the "leather" cavorting to the tune of "fours" and "sixes" with such consistency that experts will call him the cricketer England has ever seen. This is a splendid tribute to the man who has done more than his share to popularize the famous English pastime, and so annex the title long held by the talented King Grace of another day. And if you were English, and are in any measure doubtful as to whether Englishmen like their cricket, consult any one of them and he will soon inform you that next to being King, or Prime Minister, he would much prefer to be known as England cricketer. "When England takes the angels rejoice," is a common expression.
Englishmen and British Colonials are "long-gone" in cricket-madness, it would seem. They will discuss the sport anywhere; even in church while the Archbishop of Canterbury is delivering the sermon of his career. What does it matter who were assembled around the tomb, watching, on that first Easter morning. It is of greater moment than the Englishman mourns will begin tomorrow, and that Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe will be in the Survey line-up. They love and revere their outstanding cricketers, and will defend their reputation to the last ditch. He should be ashamed to admit it who has not heard of the prowess of such stalwarts as W. G. Grace, Victor Trumper, Clem Hill M., A. Noble, C. B. Fry, A., and K. S. Railson, J. A. Jackson, and K. S. Railson, Richardson, Wilfred Rhodes and a host of others. Today we hear of such giants of the willow as Jack Hobbs, Wally Hammond, Pat Hendron, the late Roy Kilner, Herbert Sutcliffe, George Callenor, L. N. Constantine, the great West Indian, Don Bradman, and W. H. Ponsford. What a formidable array of talent is here represented! What a tower of strength they are to any side. Those who are fortunate enough to play a man of skill, are cricket is of men. As a think of them our sporting blood is roused and we must go out and try our skill. But, alas the snow flies, and we must wait.
While we wait, let us observe that cricket, as played in America and Canada, certainly is not to be considered as being far below the standards of the M.C. C. of England. The players on this side of the pond have done wonders in keeping alive the great old English game. In New York especially is this true; for, in spite of handicaps too numerous to mention, the team that they receive to visiting teams that come over "to show us these smart New Yorkers."
Certainly cricket has made remarkable progress here in spite of keen competition provided by the national pastime, baseball; the lack of centrally located playing fields; the unpardonable failure of local clubs to co-operate whole-hearted with each other in interment and preservation of the sport in a strange land; the absence of a strong central organization, a controlling body similar to the M. C. C. of England; the tendency of players of "C" division calibre to argue a place on a representative "A" division team on the absurd grounds that their particular Island should be thus honored, and with little regard to the class of gnome they themselves are capable of playing. The worlds obstacles directly in the path of Test Match cricket in America. Nevertheless, the sport has made amazing progress and is moving steadily onward. Let us note here, that it is an extremely pleasant sight and a rather helpful gesture on the part of individuals, or clubs, to have

outstanding guest cricketeters visit here during the Summer. This not only serves to keep us in touch with the latest developments of the sport, it helps it to test the metal of the local talent. In this respect, Mr. Geell E. Carter of the once famous Spartan Field Club stands alone, Unassuming to the ninth degree, and gentlymenly in all of his associations with the game, he has perhaps done more of the development of the sport here than any other cricket owes him an enormous debt. Each one of us in like manner should put his shoulder to the wheel, the pastime would become so well known in America that no one would be justified in saying "Cricket is stupid"; but rather, "Cricket is a delightful pastime."
LARRY JOHNSON WINS AGAIN
LARRY JOHNSON WINS AGAIN
Batters Lenhart to Cop K. 0. Victory in the Seventh Round
the bout of the night at Madison Square Garden last Friday night was the semi-final, won by a kayo in two minutes and, seconds of the seventh by Larry Wilson in the semi-final to the Carnegie-Peterson bout. Fred Lenhart, conqueror of Maxie Rosenbloom, was the victim. Johnson battered his way into the division in superb fashion. The sensational Westerner will have to be reckoned with for it was the opinion of many ringers that he is the best 175 pounder since Jack Daneley's time.
Prior to encountering Johnson, Lenhart had never been on the floor. The Chicagoan put him down five times, and the fifth round Johnson crashed Lenhart with a right to the jaw, flooring him for an eight toll. Lenhart arose and rushed his man to the ropes where he pounded Johnson's body. Johnson sumed a southpaw stance and Johnson cocked his right and fired at Lenhart's bobbin noggin. Lenhart scored with hard lefts to Johnson's body and Johnson spilled him again for the count of seven. Lenhart was on his feet after he arose and went down for a nine toll when Johnson parked another right hook on his mantel. The bell rang the game German in this session.
Lenhart fought as a left hander during the sixth spasm and managed to keep his chin out of range. At the sixth second, Lenhart was warned to stop his blow up. Lenhart went down for the count of eight when Johnson again scored a right. The finish came after Johnson feinted his rival into an opening and Lenhart scored a right. The force of this punch sent Lenhart six feet across the ring, into a neutral corner on his back and as senseless as a fellow who plays the horses. Johnson was handicapped by a frost bitten left ear sustained in Chicago last Friday night, when he saw Loehmi! and James J. Braddock fight a draw. Lenhart opened this injured hearing organ in the first round and Loehmi! scored a right, pounds, had an advantage of one-half of a pound.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 24—The Tribune Big Five rose to unexpected heights at the Wissichickon Boys club here last night when he and his team rally against the Meteor Club, amateur champions of this city, and defeated the titleholders by the score of 29-25. The display of aggressively competitive players, this being able, this being read by the reading of the figures at half time, 18-4 against them. Only one field goal was scored by the Tribune quinter and the initial twenty minutes of play.
The Insertion of "Randy" Dixon into the Newbys' lineup in the second half was indirectly responsible for it, for it was not until this lanky victory, for it was not until the lined floor that his team seemed to be able to find themselves. Shortly after Dixon entered the fray he pivoted a shot that found its mark started the colored boys on their way.
During the first half the white boys played cleverly and presented a defense that battled the home gymnastics team, but fell for their way down the floor for the Meteors and then a basket would ring. In the second stanza, however, the defense were different, with Dixon substituting the left foot for the central High School luminary. Anderson and Brown began to find their range for the net and the two Dixons, Tom and Randy, passed with their hands, both holding of the champions. With three shots to play and the Meteors holding a three-point advantage R. Dixon arched a beautiful shot from the left side of the court that carried the figures to 24-23.
The house went in an unproar and time was taken out, but as soon as play was resumed the winners continued their invasion into their open court, with a floor and a minute and a half a swirl. Brown unleashed a twirling shot that failed, to touch the rim as it dropped through the net to carry the Tribes into the lead for the first and at 23-24. The tribes were never headed again, although they counted twice afterward.

Shock Troops Impaired, but World Beating Renaissance Machine Came Through Again Last Sunday Night
By FRANCIS.
With their shock troops impaired through the temporary injuries to "Fat" Jenkins and "Bruiser" Saitch, the Renaissance machine nevertheless landed Jersey City last Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino by the score of 55 to 33.
Manager Douglas called on George Flall to take the place left vacant by the Renaissance champions to hit or "Fat" Jenkins, the Jersey quintet, a fast and shifty outfit, carried on as if the reputation of the famous colored champions did not mean a fight. The young live-up eventually held the early stages of the game, exchanging points with them until the score read 8 points each.
During this period Flall and Ricks were way off on their shooting, missing man, and even the Ricks, however, soon got the range of his target and, together with Cooper, soon put the Rens well on the way to their accustomed victory, the score end of the first half being 28 to 15.

Local "Y" Court Men Defeat Conquerors of St. "C"
Revealing unsuspected power, the "Y" Juniors came from behind to defeat St. Jude's, conquerors of St. G. "C" Juniors, the gym last Saturday night. This was the first time the Juniors, who are playing in the "unlimited" division of the Sunday School-Y. M. C. A-Community House Basketball League. The team given to close defensive play, the keeping the score low. St. Jude's led at half-time, 10-9. Jack Bourne, who had been held scoceless in the first period, sank four goals for the victors in the last few seconds of play with astounding rapidity. The point goals by Johnson and Hanks, were just enough to nose out the Saints. The St. Jude's 80-pound and 125-pound teams proved no match for the Midgets, the same weight. The Midgets easily won, 44-13, and the Juniors, 30-13.

The team had a poor per head no mercy to offer Saxenmeyer, the tall center of the visitors, and completely shut him out from scoring during the game. Bob replaced Cooper with Hill during the closing minutes of the game, and Saxenmeyer was then able to score one lone basket from his junior in years and experience. Yancey played a good game subbing for "Fat," getting five field goals, and scoring eight for Jenkins, even though they look alike on the floor from a distance, but then there is only one "Fat" Jenkins that we know of in the world.

"Y" Panthers Out to Extend Winning Streak at Harlem Y. M. C. A. Expense
Polish National Hall in Malina will be the scene of much excitement Friday evening when the Jamaica "Y" Panthers and the Harlem Y. M. D.'s football team play game. The Harlemians, who have not been going so well this season, will attempt to hit the onrushing Panthers. The Jamaicans are just as determined that it won't happen. That is what they do. No game was ever won on paper. The only thing to do is to watch the boys have it out. Meeting the Y. M. D.'s the Jamaicans are engaging an opponent worthy of its steel. Disregarding their past record, this fast quitter from New York always seems to rise to the occasion when its back is to the wall. Now faced with just such a situation. The Jamaica Panthers are the strongest and the most well-balanced five to attempt crushing the New Yorkers in a game of years. In stopping them (which remains to be seen) the New Yorkers will be performing a feat which has been done thus far, that is in their last nine games. The New Yorkers often rise to the occasion when pressed. This is something else again.
No matter which is victor, may it be the Panthers or Y. M. D.'s, it will be one of the most keen and court so during this season, then again it may be a typical Panther affair, namely, strictly one-sided.

Should Be Some Game
January 23, 1950
Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty,
Sporting Editor.
The N. Y. Amsterdam News,
New York, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Dougherty:—I note in
your columns this week a short an-
nouncement of the game at Rock-
land Palace on Feb. 12 between
Howard and Morgan. I am an
wondering if your readers are aware of
the fact that this game will pres-
ent to New Yorkers unquestion-
ably the greatest amateur
basketteer to ever grace a collegiate
hard court. For three years
it was my pleasure to see this boy,
"Lanky" Jones, deliver his
consistently sterling play, game after
game. Lanky, by the way, is quite
a showman.
When he first came to Morgan,
just an over-grown kid and ex-all
state center from Orange, N. J.
high school, he looked polished, but,
until the campaigning has done for him.
If New Yorkers like their basketball with fireworks, the kind that they love, they have Toronto hockey game, they have big evening in store for them. The intense rivalry between the two schools is treble that of Lincoln-Chicago, precipitates lots of personal encounters between the rival student bodies. For two years these football teams have fought scoreless ties in the funeral marches, fights, etc., as a background along with the traditional raccoons, flags, etc. Here's a chance for both to get involved in Harlem. It will be a swell duel at center between *Lanky* Jones, Morgan, and Beasley, Howard. Then Howard has also to stop *Lanky* Jones from flash. Yes sir, Mr. Dougherty, there will be big doings at Rockland Palace on the night of Feb. 12. Of course, I am supporting my Mr. Spiritually and financially. So soon, until the 12th. Yours in sport.
P. S.-Did you see "Lanky" outclass George Gregory last winter? By the way. If you can arrange it, why not see the game as my guest? Editor's Note -Sorry, we'll be unable to accept your kind invitation. But we will send a silver loving cup to Kid Chocolate at the Orange, N. J. Armory on the same night if the game comes from Cuba in time for the run.
WILD WELCOME AWAITS KID CHOCOLATE IN NEW JERSEY
By LARRY JACKSON.
(Special to The Amsterdam News.)
NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 27. — The crowd is howling and the panic is on since the news reached the remotest parts of New Jersey that Kid Chocolate, the latest sensation at the Tuxedo Club of East Orange and the Student Council of Newark, at their Independent State Basketball Championship game, to be staged at the famous and successful Orange Arena in Newark. Williams street, on Lincoln's birthnight. The thousands of Kid Chocolate rooters, both white and colored, are planning a raining response to the storm. Their 12th of February is Jersey's night to do honor to a sterling character, a real athlete and a deserving, yet uncrowned, champion of the squared arena. No stones lying left unturned to make the slingshot event in Jersey in the past decade.
Whole Kid Chocolate holds the sootlight at this affair there is another figure of national reputation who will play an important part in the success of the show, and he is Romeo L. Dougherty, the dean of Negro sport writers. Mr. Dougherty, who has recently completed his twentieth year of service as sports editor of the Ameirstan News, has been compelled to create a new Jersey emblem of praise, respect and honor to the "Keed." In securing Mr. Dougherty to make the presentation, no better nationally known author than the late John C. Bean been selected for the pleasant task. Here, again, the fans of Jersey have reason to be jubilant, for they will have the always pleasant privilege of once seeing Mr. Dougherty in his mosquito State because of the increase of business pressure upon him. Along with the above celebrities, Cecli Scott and his Serenading Melody Boys will furnish the music. Cecli Scott promises the best in tantalizing
Reports are current that both teams are working diligently to win the coveted honor of officiating at will be at stake on this night of nights. The Student Council bunch has been going along at a rapid rate of speed, having won 15 games this season and adding Tigers have also been going at a rapid gain, having recently conquered the "Buffaloes" one of New York's best. The rivalry between the Teen's and students and a real hot battle is unilateral.
Coach "Marse" Hill has had his Tiger aggregation practicing strenuously behind closed doors for the first time, but he expected to pull some new stuff in this championship encounter. Captain "Bob" Payne, who has been a terror to all opposing guards in his quest for form now, while Raymond, the flush Kenard and Randolph are pushing the captain hard to maintain his position, while at the pivot position, is burning up the boards with his speed in practice and under the coach's careful observation Archer is making one hand not which will be a dangerous weapon at any moment.

LINCOLN LIONS COURT THREAT
LINCOLN LIONS COURT THREAT
Meet Acid Test in Battle Against Commandeurs Friday Night
When the Philadelphia Commanders attempt to take the Lincoln University Lions Friday night in Philadelphia, it will behove all the team to stop Johnny Sydnor, the Lincoln veteran pivot man. And that sort of business takes a big, strong, fast and clever opponent for Johnny. And the team can stop Johnny they had better send out the S. O. S. call at one.
Sydnor stands out on the Lions team as a giant among dwarfs. But the Lions are not the only team of big men around him. He just urally stands out anyway, like Gregory of Columbia and Linky Jones of Morgan. He weighs 100 pounds, which is not a giant's weight by any means. But one glimpse of his height, his thick chest, powerful shoulders, mighty spear, and uncanny basketball skills, fan that the Cams are going to be mighty hot and bothered when they tackle the Lions. Though gentleman on the gridiron Sydnor is distinctly the opposite on the basketball floor. He is the regular pivot man for the Lions and has become more valuable with Sydnor in the coach. Coach Bill Taylor, who also is a product of Lincoln, feels confident that the Lions will stamp itself as one of the highest teams in the East this season.
But unless Bill Taylor's other basketters—Avery, Reyly, Hawkins, Decosey, or the Lions are due to hit when they meet the Coms. The Coms have showed more power in the last few weeks than they have in the past. They have figured the fact that Sam Morton the Coms' regular pilot man, who is barmstorming New England with the team, is the new team. The team, we discovered that three new players joined the Coms about a month ago. Wilbur Jiff' Campbell, Bob Sherman, and new players. All are good shots and hard workers, and should be outstanding players in the Coms' lineup soon. And if they fit in with the team, his team is going to be hard to stop.

Williamsbridge Panthers Salem Dons in Victory
The speedy Spartans from the Bronx were finally subdued after a close and stubborn struggle. Last year the Spartans defeated the lowbrow and came back Thursday night to repeat. They fought hard, but failed. The Panthers starting their reserves, caused the first ripple in scoring a field goal by N. Jones, assisted by the defense, who played a heady game, but the Spartans retaliated by scoring a field goal also. The defense and passwork of J. Berry, P. Mickens and G. Henry were commandable. The score at play was 10-9 in the second half with the Panther regulars, D. Turpean, J. Robinson (forward), G. Wallace (center), and P. Mickens, Al. Freeman (guards) in the lineup the game was fought even with both teams determined in win.

Brooklynites Made New York Champion Collegians Step Fast to Secure Victory Here Last Tuesday Night
By FRANCIS.
The New York Collegians were compelled to open up their troutt wide in order to secure a victory from the Concord Five of Brooklyn on Tuesday evening, January 21, at the Alhambra Ballrooms. A last minute spurt by irresistible Johnny Holt put the Collegians on the top of a 46 to 36 score. A very nice crowd came out to see the boys perform, and were rewarded with a game that repaid them. The Concord team were reinforced by the two Carters, "Blondy" and "Yellow," two kicksteakers of note and prominence in their class, and the make-up of the team otherwise gave notice that it was going to be a bang-up game.
Both teams started at lightning speed, and each experienced trouble in securing points, so close was the guarding. The inability of the visitors to hold Johnny Holl in check cost them the game, for the sterling guard of the Collegians scored 12 points, more than half of his team's total, in the first frame, at the same time holding "Blondy" Carter to two ends and ending in half found the Collegians ahead by the score of 21 to 17.
The second half opened up with the visitors seemingly determined to rush the Collegians off their feet; they were able to keep the Collegians, and by hard work opened up a slight lead of their own and resisted every effort on the part of the Collegians to even the score. Things looked desperate for the New York-Jersey team, but they line-up without any apparent good effect. With the end of the game drawing near, and a defeat staring them in the face, Johnny Hammond may play, electrified the crowd, with as brilliant an individual effort as has been seen in any game recently by scoring 8 points, which, with two by Frank Caffey and by Jack Livermore, gave a game away from the Concord quintet.
Johnny was unstoppable and deadly in his shots at this time, and the Collegians owe their hard-carned victory to his individual and brilliant play during the entire game. He led both teams in scoring, with 20 points, while "Bloody" Carter, with 11 points, was high scorer for the Concord Five. The game was a win, and we should like to see both teams meet again in the near future.
In the preliminary game the Blue Bird Girls defeated the Harlem Girls by 21 to 21. Both teams showed real class, and exhibited some new girl players

DE KUH STOPS BILL HARTWELL
Straight Left Brought Colored Gladiator Out of His Crouch
一
Referee Jack Denning, heavyweight boxer himself in the days of a past era when such men as Battling Larry Holmes made ring history, stopped the De Kuh-Hartwell contest at the Broadway Sporting Club in Brooklyn last Tuesday night in one minute and made him a champion to save Hartwell from punishment. Hartwell's remarkable fighting instinct alone carried him through the seventh, eighth, ninth and fatal rounds of the final line of pugilistic artillery, his left eye completely closed. Hartwell groped about the ring almostlessly. At times he couldn't see it but he kept on coming and his fists were to the point that his Italian's heavy smashes in spite of hisorry plight. De Kuh is just as good a right-hand hitter as there is in the heavyweight ring, but he was not to the shots—and they were many—failed to knock Hartwell off his feet. While his strength and endurance held out, Big Bill came back fighting harder. De Kuh Belied his midriff or chin.
Hartwell had the better of only two sessions of the scrummage—the second and the fifth. In these heats he raptured, and the quarter and more liten once made Arthur hold on desperately. In the seven other rounds, De Kuh's superior boxing skill and harden punching pressure made Hartwell the receivable and of the arguement Arthur used a straight left to bring Hartwell out of his crouch and then a right to score the heavy damage. Hartwell, unfortunately, was unable to score the heavy blows, finally defense brought about Hartwell's defeat—nothing else.
CONCORD DEFEATS

Phil Edwards Will Be Lost to N. Y. University
New York University's hopes of retaining the indoor intercollegiate track championship were blasted last week by the announcement, that Phil Edwards, its stellar color runner, would not be eligible to compete for the Violet after the mid-year examination period.
Edwards has been running sensationally in the few indoor meets held the metropolitan district this season. The team, the N. Y. U. mile relay team which enabled that quartet to establish a new college record for a flat board track last Saturday at the Brooklyn College.
The team, composed of Hunter, Gasner, Andler and Edwards, ran the mile in four minutes 24 2-5 seconds, beating the record made by a Syracuse team, which had Cecil Edwards, Harvard and E. Edwards was clocked in 45 3-5 seconds for his leg and won the Brooklyn College 1000. Emil Voll Eilling, Violet coach, will have a hard time getting a relay together which will make a real bid for the title without Edwards.
Edwards will not be graduated from N. Y. U. until June, but he completes his third year of varsity completion. He has run in only two college title meets, will not compete for the Violet again.

All roads will lead to Labor Lyceum next Thursday, Feb. 6, when the crack New York Collegians and the Carlton "Big Five" meet in their annual game, which for the past few years has been the piece de resistance of the basketball season.
It was the Carlton Y. M. C. A., probably more than any other organization in Brooklyn, that put basketball on the high plane it reached some years ago and in those too to popularize the game in those never to be forgotten days when amateur basketball flourished so brightly around these parts. Now the Y. M. C. A. again takes the lead in a basketball revival and brings to basketball lovers the best attraction there is in the game.
The opponents of the Carlton "Big Five," the New York Collegians, are undoubtedly the most colorful and most sensational amateur team on the New York State champions for three years and fairly bubble over with class. Their wonderful floor work, flashy passing and brilliant shooting from all angles and distances never fails. Their fans are always assured of a great game whenever they perform. As usual, they have swept away all opposition before them this season and are on their way to another championship. They are always assured of the tricks in the bag to hurdle the Carlton "Big Five" next week. The 1930 "Big Five" is the fastest and most powerful team the "Y" has ever turned out (apologies to the "Lightning" of 1917-1920) to take five champions to stop them.
Against the stiffest kind of opposition in the Y. M. C. A. Senior League, Carlton has won their last five games, the Highland Park, Greenpoint, the St. Louis Cardinals, "Y" teams falling before the browns of the Carlton boys. The addition of big Horace Russ, formerly of Bordenton, has greatly strengthened Carlton this year, and lifted it into the interior role of chief coach of the Russ. The center and is a tower of strength at the center pivot: he usually gets the "tap" on his rivals, is an excellent floor man and a good shot and in his first season is already a star. The last year, Russ Carlton has been able to hold powerful machine with such well-known stars as George "Hawk" Day, "Sandy" Hirdon, Al. Thomson, Willie Stevens, Capt. George McClammy, Albert Smith and Fred Boots" Perry, and the Carlton all in the pink of condition and at the top of their form just

Harry Takes on Much Touted Brooklynite in Feature This Tuesday Night
Johnny Krieger, Brooklyn's latest pugilistic sensation, is backed by an army of Bay Ridge fans in the contention that he will halt the rise of Harry Smith, Harlem's clever middleweight contender, when they meet in the feature ten-round bout of an all-star program. Broadway Arena this Tuesday night. Krieger has been coming along like a cracker-box factory ablaze, scoring impressive victory over Joe Francis and Jake Seagreen. He easily defeated One Punch Leo Williams, among others. He is a clever boxer and a hard hitter and just the type that figures to give Smith plenty of shape. He is at present training with Midge Bey's in Summit, N. J.
Matchmaker Tony Martello rubs his hands together enthusiastically every time anybody mentions Smith to him. It was Martello who first saw in Smith a potential contender by Warner 160-pound title and Harry Moore's 160-pound title and expectations, by knocking out Sligo.
The Krieger bout has started the biggest advance sale of tickets since the Broadway reopened and a recap of Halsey street street incubator Tuesday night.

COLLEGIANS ANNUAL CLASH
now. "Steve" is shooting his head off in a great comeback, "Hawk" Day is getting better with every game and seems stronger at the forward position than at center, where he still can hold his own, "Sandy" Hermedon is the same little flash and unnering aggressive player, who is equally good at any position and the spark plug of the team. He is a great player, McClammy can take care of Carlson's defense rank with the best shots in the game and are dangerous at all times. With this great aggregation of stellar players Brooklyn appears to be a great team, the crack Collegians. It's even up and take your choice but regardless of who wins, the game is certain to be a thrilling struggle from whistle to whistle. A preliminary game brings together two crack teams of future greatness in the Wi-Aces of the "Y" and the Original Scrams Juniors of New York. Both teams have compiled a great record and this game should be the biggest of the fans for the big things to follow.
To go along with the best game of the season, the committee has secured a dance by, before and after the game. The popular J. Cordy Williams and K. Knights have been engaged to furnish the dance music for the occasion.

Steinbrink Installs Officers Of G. O. P. Organization
Melier Steinbrink, newly selected county leader of Brooklyn Republicans, installed the officers of the Kings County Colored Republican organization at the regular meeting of that organization held Wednesday night in the rooms of the Kings County Republican Committee, 160 Montague street.
Those installed were: Francis F. Giles, president; Marin C. Lawton, vice-president; Charles T. Magill, secretary; Isabelle Taylor, assistant secretary; Robert H. Bouknight, treasurer, and E. H. Wilson, chaplain. Proxies were installed for Mrs. M. Wilson, William Woodward, who were elected recording secretary and sergeant-at-arms, respectively.
Mr. Steinbrink in a lengthy speech pledged a greater share of party power than he had given to his grenues than they have heretofore had. He pledged for a greater interest among the young people, expressing the belief that from new and young blood would come the rehabilitating of the Kings. With that accomplished and a solidarity along all fronts, he predicted Republican victory this fall. Mr. Giles got off to a rather bad start, but he did not hold the gavel one hour before he had already clashed with the secretary, who has held that office since the organization was formed and had entered into contract with another organization. Previous to this he declared himself to be for peace and harmony. Later, the new president, who succeeded the kindly and patient Frank H. Gilbert, for years of organization stated that he regretted his hasty actions and that they were done under the stress of the rumor that an attack was to have been made that night on his election to the presidency. No attack, however, was made.
Old members of the Kings County organization are hopeful that peace and harmony will prevail to the end and that the Republicans in Brooklyn will advance themselves materially this fall.

Alfred H. Merz Speaks in Behalf of Those Hit by Assessments in Jamaica
The levy of the Jamaica-Hollies sewer tax violates, in many cases, according to Alfred H. Merz, president of the Non-Partisan Taxpayer Association. Association damental principle of taxation. Because of this he is seeking to institute a civic movement to win a postponement of the payment. The fundamental principle violated the says, is that of no assessment when many who must pay for the sewer received no benefit because they have no lateral sewers connecting with the trunk line. They will not benefit, he are installed. He hopes by civil action to win a stay of payment for each taxpayer until the laterals which will enable each to benefit are installed. He would have no interest held up during assessment during the postponement. In a discussion of the matter before his association, Merz said:
"Assessment for the Jamaica-Hollis sewer system has called attention to a situation affecting taxpayers' interests which deserves more serious thought. Numerous property owners in the system find that they cannot make the advantages of lateral connection with the system, but that they must await the installation of necessary subrunk and intercepting sewers, which are not completed for several years.
"In other words, some of the taxpayers find themselves not materially benefited by the sewer improvement for which they are assessed, so they must assess" these cases appears to result in spreading of improvement costs, regardless of benefit or lack of it.

hope that the legislative branches of the administration will recognize the importance of assessing property owner for their role who for numerous reasons cannot now derive any material benefit from system access; some provision will remain to relieve owners from at least the interest penalties until such time as they are benched installation through additional installation permit; lateral connection for their use.
"This advice is given in full knowledge of the practice of mortgages and be paid when due; but, in this instance it is reasonable to believe that mortgages may help rather than burden the assessment has been properly portioned when including non-beneficiaries in fact. The matter requires investigation and it is time that is investigated those in the category of non-benefit may have opportunity to properly protect the property interests. Full payment of the mortgage is made at any time regardless of arrangement to pay in installments, which obviates any urgency for mortgages in the rigorous action prior to renewal dates.
"A statement of the existing situation and a request for some relief is being prepared for the consideration of the need for the care of the dependent and the aldermen of the districts included in the area of assessment. Local civic bodies ought to make the matter a subject of intense attention and co-operate with the effort to impress the authorities of merit of the contention that where the trunk system is not available for use due to lack of provision for lateral connection, any assessment must be made in the nature of an imposition void of the proper benefit that alone can lustify it."
Occupation of Haiti Discussed by Students
The serious-minded and militant group of students who comprise the Students, Literary and Debating gams gave the students last Sunday afternoon as 347 Jefferson avenue of the effort they are making to understand and grapple with the questions affecting the race. On this day the Haitian situation was discussed, and, in order that as much information possible could be had, the subject was possible to be asked. The question: "Do the advantages of American occupation of Haiti outweigh the disadvantages?" The lead author, C. Hunte and Ernest Kallahli; Oswald Gibbs, Wesley MacD. Holder and Miss Mannie Johnson also took against American occupation the following question: "America was not justified in this occupation since American property was not involved." The conclusion is a criminal violation of Haitian equality with other nations, as provided for by the Hague Conference, by her signature statement and as a member of the League of Nations.
American intervention was under the pretext of maintaining Haitian independence and the re-establishment of the government for the Haitian people; and in these America has failed. Prior to American intervention Haitian independence and paid her obligations to her foreign mastic creditors and never found it necessary to suspend these payments as was done in 1919. These are insignificant as compared to wholesale slaughters under American dictatorship. In the name of humanity America would be a greater benefactor to Russia, China, and the United States in Mexico, but would not because these countries are strong and fearless. In favor of American occupation, he would solve out the social, economic and educational damages made under the so-called American protectorate. He further argued that it would be easier to draw from Haiti until such time as the military start to think in terms of mass ideas. He was opposed, however, to military occupation and that there should be civil occupation.
The guests of the League were Miss Beatrice Johnson of Maxwell Training School, Miss Ellen Brooks of the University of Chicago, Sealy of the Acme Associates and Charles Calendar, vice-president of the Meteors, Inc. The Students' League has been invited to the Fleet Street M. E. Church, Rev. pastor, to render a musical and literary program on Negro achievement Sunday afternoon, Feb. 9. This date marks the close of Negro History Week and the chapter has qualified prominent figure to deliver the principal address on this occasion.

Addresses Graduates
Graduation is here again and with hearts throbbing many of our public and high school students are wonderfully numbered among the chosen.

A. became veritable conquerors of their eight-year public school course.

Inter-Church Club Stunt Contest Planned for Feb.
A gala as well as effective InterChurch Club Stunt Contest will take place on the eleventh of February at Concord Baptist Church under the auspices of the Concord Community Club.
The clubs featuring on that night will represent the most active young people's clubs from their respective churches. These young men and women have worked zealously to make a proud of them on this eventful night.
The members of the Concord Community Club are indeed happy to note the attitude and spirit in which the clubs are co-operating with them. This young people's club of the Concord has initiated a project that feels that fraternal relationships between clubs of all churches should exist in action as well as in words. It also believes that all young people should feel a responsibility to co-operate and work with their project.
Since co-operation is the keynote to success, the Concord Community Club members feel that if they stimulate or awaken a keen desire and willingly serve in this project that in all probability this attitude will carry over

FLUSHING -- CORONA
Rufus Perry, Brooklyn's Brilliant Lawyer, Gives $1,000 to Nazarene Church Drive
In a whirlwind finish, the Nazarene Congregational Church passed its $15,000 quota last Sunday after a five-day city-wide crusade for funds to free it from debt. Congregational bodies throughout the greater city are sharing the remainder of a $50,000 indebtedness. When the morning service closed, shortly after noon, the workers were about $5,000 short of their goal. Cold weather chilled the prospect of a house-to-house canvass but at the evening service, 8 o'clock sharp, the Froctor, pastor, would call for reports and he must not be disappointed. So they went, 100 strong, from the church at Grand avenue and Leffertes place, through the neighborhood and the city, to be against time, pleading for many dollars, pausing gratefully in places for one dollar. Racial barriers had to make way and the Negro workers told need to all who might be interested. White friends helped greatly in swelling the total. County Judge

Jurors Free Man In Dry Law Case
Majority of Panel Excused Because of Opinions on Prohibition
Conscientious seruples against the national prohibition laws probably caved William Powers, 226 West 142d street, from a long jail sentence when he was arraigned Thursday in Federal Court before Judge Bondy on a charge of spanking a forty-gallon still at the 142d street address. Powers was acquitted by the jury which heard the case. Most of the day was spent in swearing a jury to try the case. Thirty-five out of a panel of sixty were excused because of their prejudice against prohibition. Of the varied answers given by the testmen, the following are typical: "No, I did not commit a person accused of violating a law, I like to drink too much myself," and "I am opposed to the Volstead act and the Jones law."
When the jury was at last selected, witnesses for the government admitted that Powers had denied all connection with the still. In less than a week, the jury found Powers not guilty. James C. Thomas, former assistant U. S. attorney under Emory R. Buckner, who defended Powers, sent a letter to Mr. Harriman complimenting him on his stand as to the prohibition laws and his "stand for liberty" on Saturday. In commenting on his letter to Mr. Harriman, Thomas said: "I would not be proper for me to give out the text of my letter, but I told Mr. Harriman that in my opinion he had as much right to oppose the prohibition law enforcement as anyone has to oppose punishment. I believe that the man cannot sit in a prohibition case does not indicate his unfitness as a juror in any other case."
Prison Term Looms For 'Dr.'E.P. Banks
Fake Dentist Guilty of Securing Cash After Many "Accidents"
Sentence is to be imposed today by Judge Koenig in General Sessions upon Edward Palmer Banks, known in Harlem as Dr. E. Palmer Banks, and in court as Eduardo Banko, who pleaded guilty to a charge of second degree grand larceny last Wednesday.
Banks, who lived at 258 West 171th street, was arrested last Wednesday at noon, indicted an hour later and wedded. He was charged with receiving $8,000 in three years after pretending that he was injured in falls.
The prisoner was immediately remanded to the Tombs to await sentence. He was editor-in-chief of the Crescent, national organ of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, last year and became involved in difficulties with that body.
Banks had the ability to fall and have his left knee and other parts of his body appear injured, the charges being that he was the practice of dentistry, although he was never known to have had an office.
Victims of the fake dentist's trick included the Pennsylvania and Eighth Avenue Railroads, the Fifth Avenue Coach Company and the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey. The complaint was with the accident Prudens, 86 Maiden lane, after a period of "accidents" in December. On December 6 he "fell" and collected $250 from the Travelers Insurance Company. Three days later he received $175 from the Erie Railroad. The next day he demanded $50 from the Interborough Railroad. The car later "slipping between a car and the platform at Brooklyn Bridge. Epsilon Chapter of Phil Beta Sigma Fraternity announced Monday through Dr. Charles A. Butler that Banks was suspended in May by the local body. The national board met immediately and removed him from editorial office. He was expelled from college, which met here in December.
Although Banks told the court he is a West Indian, it is generally known throughout Harlem that he is originally from North Carolina. Hence attended the North Carolina College in Durham, then called on National Training School.

Commercial Association Gets Returns on Its Store and Houses
Closing its tenth year Thursday evening with its annual meeting, the Progressive Commercial Association of America, Inc., 200 West 145th street, reported a profit of $13,547 for its enterprises in 1929. The association, which was organized for the purpose of giving Harlem better living quarters and cheaper rent, is in a healthy state of development, according to T. H. Walters, the manager. In addition to real estate the organization operates a hardware store at 2496 Seventh avenue. Isaac Turner, one of the organizers, is manager of the store. Of the 1929 profit, $12,475 was realized from rentals and $1,072 from the store. The association expects to declare a five per cent dividend to all stockholders on June 1, according to Mr. Walters. This will be the fifth payment to owners of the stock. Commenting on the organization, Mr. Walters said in an interview:
"All our properties but one are free of their second mortgages. Most of our tenants are also stockholders in the company. Our aim is to serve them at all times. The directors and officers have served for ten years without pay in order that the institution might grow."
The Progressive Association owns and operates apartment houses at 133 West 145th street, 200 West 145th street, 2492 Seventh avenue, 35 West 131st street, and at 56 West 129th street. The average rental charged for elevator apartments by the organization is $12 per room and for walk-up apartments $10 is the usual charge.
The board of directors is composed of the following; T. H. Walters, president; C. B. Mousserone, vicepresident; J. L. Smith, secretary; V. M. Walters, assistant secretary; G. H. Murray, treasurer; Isaac Turner, manager; L. J. Stovall, S. Cain, J. A. Gould, J. D. Anderson, W. D. Hawkins, J. W. Hunter, J. A. Johnson, H. P. Lipschott and E. R. Penn.

Harlem Man Dies In Auto Smashup
Machine Goes Over Bank in Early Morning, Killing Driver
Pinned behind the wheel of the taxcab he was operating, George V. Wilson, 25, 2010 Seventh avenue, Manhattan, was instantly killed shortly before dawn last Wednesday when the machine, skidding on the ice pavement of Sunrise highway, crashed through two concrete guard-rails and plunged down a fifteen-foot embankment near Lincoln avenue, South Ozone Park. Brooklyn.
Wilson was clutching the steering wheel of the overturned taxicab, which landed on its roof at the foot of the embankment. He was dead when rescuers arrived. An internal hemorrhage and a possible fracture of the skull were given as the producing causes of death by Dr. Selgal of Jamaica Hospital. There were no passengers in the cab as far as police of the Jamaica precinct could leap. No witnesses to the fatal accident were at the scene. The tragedy was discovered when a lone motorist, driving along the Sunrise highway, observed the overturned car. He immediately summoned Patrolmen Charles Schneider and Al Purnahagen from a police booth nearby. A call was sent for the police emergency squad and an ambulance.
From the marks on the roadway left by the skidding machine, police determined that, Wilson, operating the cab, which is owned by Andrew Boyd of 281 Edgecombe avenue, Manhattan, was proceeding east along the highway. Two concrete posts, guarding the safety rail, were broken in the fatal plunge of the cab on the south side of the roadway. The accident occurred about 200 feet east of Lincoln avenue.
With difficulty Wilson's body was extricated from the machine. It was later brought to Robbins' Morgue in Jamala, where it remained pending funeral arrangements.

There is realism in countries where the population to the dust by tyrants, countries mole hardly ever get a square man of a chance for education. There is in America, where the poor man where else in the world, and when capitalists whom the Communists never than the Communists themselves cannot gain a stronghold in any country man has a chance.
INGLAND the authorities are wistfulists, Anarchists and all other desi soapboxes and talk themselves our give Communists a chance to play and create sympathy.
HARLEM of late has had little cause to complain of police brutality, but this is not true of other parts of the city. Last Saturday at City Hall there was a spectacle of which the police authorities should be ashamed. A crowd of Communists had gathered there to protest against the killing of a Communist in the Bronx by the police. They were charged upon by twenty-five mounted policemen and one hundred on foot, who clubbed and blackjacked right and left. Women and children fell before their clubs. The police struck first and investigated afterwards; in one case they clubbed and pursued a young business man who was not a Communist. They thought he was one merely because he was not wearing a hat.
IT WOULD BE UNFAIR, however, to blame the policemen, who are individually no more brutal than other men. They were only carrying out Commissioner Whalen's order that the nightstick be used freely. There has been entirely too much propaganda, on the stage and screen and in books, to the effect that a policeman is a blockhead. His mistakes are not always his own fault; he merely obeys orders.
NOR IS COMMISSIONER WHALEN entirely to blame. Behind him is the pressure of countless Americans who are obsessed by a hysterical fear of Communism. Most of them would have called for Commissioner Whalen's head if he had dealt gently with the crowd at City Hall. Their temper was expressed recently by the magistrate who wanted to blacken a young boy's eyes because the boy was a Communist.
AMERICANS do not realize how little they have to fear from the Communists. There is reason to fear Communism in countries where the populace has been ground into the dust by tyrants, countries where the poor people hardly ever get a square meal, to say nothing of a chance for education. There is no reason to fear it in America, where the poor man lives better than anywhere else in the world, and where many of the very capitalists whom the Communists assail were once poorer than the Communists themselves. Communism cannot gain a stronghold in any country where the common man has a chance.
IN ENGLAND the authorities are wise: they let Communists, Anarchists and all other destructionists get up on soapboxes and talk themselves out. In America they give Communists a chance to play the role of martys and create sympathy.
Real Americans

ONCE IN AWHILE a white man realizes that there is no greater patriot in this country than the Negro. Bishop Thirkield, former president of Howard University, said in a recent sermon at St. Mark's Church that the Negro is the most thoroughly American group that we have today.
YET THE NEGRO has undergone things that would have made any other race unpatriotic, if not treasonous. There is no need to recount them here, for every Negro knows them by heart. Other races, with far fewer grievances, have welcomed every opportunity afforded by war to strike back at their oppressors, and no one has condemned them for it. What American ever blamed the Jews for hating Czarist Russia? Who failed to applaud the Irish for resisting England? Foreigners, indeed, have more than once scorned the Negro as a man of no spirit because he did not start a bloody race war.
BUT, when you come right down to it, what else can the Negro be but a thorough American? He came originally from Africa, but he did not bring African traditions with him. The average intelligent Negro today knows little more about Africa than he knows about Assyria or China. His birth, background, language, education, religion and social customs are American. The foreign population of this country is too apt to regard America as a Klondike, merely a place to pick up gold. To them, Plymouth Rock, Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Gettysburg and "John Brown's Body" mean no more than last month's newspapers. But the Negro fought and bled at Bunker Hill and Gettysburg; his blood and muscle have been here for three hundred and ten years.
Rambling Ruminations
AMERICAN race prejudice menaces the peace of France, according to Maurice Ajam, French Under-Secretary of State. In a remarkable article in La Depche Coloniale, M. Ajam, writing on the recent revolt in Haiti against white Americans, declares that it is bound to have a repercussion in the French colonies.
The Monroe Doctrine, he says, gives to France no right to interfere in the affairs of the New World and that the best thing for her to do would be to ignore "the manifestations of the black cancer in the United States. If France was not placed in the first rank of the nations for which a conflict of race would offer a vital interest."
He adds: "We have colonized our Africa with much skill, with a benvolence so natural for our subjects that if we were alone in the world we would have nothing to fear from a people whose good native sense understands all the advantages of our contact.
"But in the same way that storms come to us from the New World so does the Negro agitation from there; it is capable of provoking trouble on the borders of the Niger.
"Something curious, the American press which is at last taking a keen interest in the race question attributing it to the Negro for justice, brings that the Negro soldiers brought back with them from France. These troops were ruptured to see the friendliness that existed between our Senegalese sharpshooter and our white troops."
M. Ajm points out among other things the fruitful field for Communist activities among Negroes in America because of their ill treatment. The N. A. A. C. P., he says, sent three Negro delegates, Carlton, Ford, and Jones to the Third International at Moscow.
GENERAL JAN CHRISTIAN SMUTS toured America as an unofficial British statesman. Like Col. House, under Woodrow Wilson, he functions as ambassador-at-large without any particular assignment. Like all of the World War statesmen, he has suffered political defeat at home. His is perhaps the most fertile mind in the world functioning in public affairs today. As a Boer general, it required twenty times

Synthetic Men
THIS HAS BEEN CALLED the mechanical age; it might be called also the synthetic age. We have synthetic rubber, synthetic silk and other synthetic products, and if Dr. Paul Heyl is to be believed we may some day have a synthetic man. Dr. Heyl, physicist, has charge of the United States Bureau of Standards. He says that nothing is impossible to science, considering what has been accomplished in the past 200 years. He thinks that scientists may learn to produce protoplasm, which is the basis of life.
DR. HEYL is not the first to imagine such things. A century ago Mary Shelley wrote her memorable story, "Frankenstein," the gruesome tale of a scientist who created a man in his laboratory. The man-made monster pursued its creator all over the world and finally killed him. The dramatist Kapek also has a play about mechanical men, whom he calls robots. It will be an interesting day, indeed, when a capitalist in need of labor can make a contract with a laboratory for the production and delivery of a thousand made-to-order men.
Crusading in Music
DOWN IN GEORGIA a woman, Miss Helein Riley, is making an experiment. She is the director of Atlanta's new Music Center, which aims to popularize classical music at the expense of jazz. She thinks that if the people hear enough good music they will forget jazz. She has mapped out a great program for her musical crusade.
THIS LADY deserves encouragement; she will need plenty of it before she is through. For many years high-minded people have labored for popular appreciation of classical music, only to see the public drop Bach and Beethoven for the first trashy tinkle that came along. If she expects Brahms and Schubert to displace jazz she is indeed an optimist. But something should be done to dam the sickening stream of Dixie and mammy songs turned out by Tin-Pan Alley composers, who have never been in Dixie and have never seen a mammy.
He continues: "There is a nationalism based on blackness of skin being formed in America, which is dangerous for our colonies...our government and our colonial officials need to be on the lookout."
While Negroes in America are spending fortunes on skin-white-

"Samba," a motion picture played entirely by native Africans, is creating a sensation in Paris. St. Cyr. crille, says in Cinema, that it is superior to "Nanook," "Moana," "Chang," or any of the films played by primitive peoples, "It marks," he says, "a date in the history of the moving picture art."
M. St. Cyr thinks the principal actor, Samba, is superior to Douglas, or bankers or Emi Jenkins or more than Bridgette Helm or Corinne Griffith. The whole film, he declares, is marked by "its intense reality."
He continues: "Ah, the bound of that lordly lion! The action, what action! Love, kidnapping, war, death—such as these have been known in Africa—such as they still exist. True romance, but this time it is real life—the life as it still exists there. Compare that picture with the life of the whites and you'll at once feel the great difference. I have just written the word "white." Let it be well understood there is not a single white face in the picture. It is the free life of the blacks, simply.
"I repeat once more what I have said a hundred times. Occasional actors are sometimes far superior to the regular ones. This Samba, and perhaps the last time, and perhaps for the last—superior to a Jannings or a Fairbanks, simply because he does not play. He lives his part.

lage to develop his peculiar gifts and qualities, which are essentially different from the aims and ideals of the lordy European.
How this can be done without exploiting the poor native into hopeless impotence, General Smuts does not engage to disclose. The one reedening feature of this new gospel, according to Smuts, is that it does make some sort of sinister recognition of the human nature of man, and instead of regarding them as merely beasts of burden to add power, dominion and glory to the white lords of the earth.
One might be disposed to wonder why this erseris while ruthless and reckless statesman, as far as the black world is concerned, has so suddenly condescended to give such solicitude to the South African, who, until now, has never risen to the level of his august statesman-like regard. The answer is easy to read by those who can discern the signs of the times. The British empire is in serious straits which are in the throes of a pacific revolution under the moral leadership of Gandhi. Egypt has broken away. The South African native is restless. Battleships no longer rule the wares.
British commerce is threatened with disintegration. The great experiment in Russia makes the working world unceasy. The salvation of the British empire depends upon making peace with the darker side of the ocean, as with the seas and mighty white overcrops of the earth. And so General Smuts, the keenest and most alert mind of them all, goes about the world seeking to discover if there are means, under heaven whereby the British empire might be saved.

Interest in Negro art is on the increase, and a woman, Mile, Hamburger of the National Institute of Anthropology, has, according to Le Quodlibet, Paris daily, created a statue at the institute by declaring that Negro art of the present day is a product of ancient Egyptian one. Mile, Hamburger arrived at her conclusions by studying the language of the Peuhls, Mandingos and other Central African peoples and comparing it with that of the ancient Egyptians.
Egypt, she insists, had colonies in all that part of 'Africa. On the other hand, M. Pierre Mille, writer, asks whether that Negro art, which at the present time "highly price" is placed meant to be entirely native to Central Africa. "There may have been," he said, "a very ancient civilization in Africa from which that of Egypt issued."

In a recent book on Alexander Dumas by Henri D'Almeras, published in Paris, the writer says that while Dumas had many assistants, none of them could give "the movement, the life, the animation" that Dumas gave. He also declares among other things that Dumas was very vain of both his literary ability and his color.
Dumas, he says, "was always surprised by the difficulties, male and female, who exploited his well-known generosity, and especially his literary vanity and his vanity of being a Negro. In flattering him they could get whatever they wished from him. He spent little on himself, a great deal on others. He received in grand style, kept open house and gave liberally to all comers, to pretended paupers, and even to rogues. He had a shower, a money-box from which a money-box from which his mistresses for the moment or his occasional friends helped themselves without the least scruple."
of distinguished white friends and well-wishers, were invited to the conference. The Phelps-Stokes Foundation was the host. The conference covered two hours and a half, and the women had previously been assigned topics covering essential phases of the race problem. These were presented in five-minute addresses. At the end of each address the general interposed sagacious and skillful queries which were known to be as well as a world-wide background point of view.
After the whole field had been canvassed, the statesman general responded in a thirty-minute summary which convinced all that they were listening to a master mind. There was none of the offensive comparisons complained of at the New York gathering. He showed a courtesy, a gentleness of temper, a sincere desire to seek a way out, and a humble willingness to oil are still groping in darkness. He was frank to state that his meeting and rubbing mind with such a group of Afro-Americans had been a liberal education to him. There was no comparison, in his mind, between the Afro-American and his South African native. The one had become Americanized while the other adhered to his ancestral ways.
The general's final word was that justice and patience are our main reliance in finding the way out. He made an admirable impression on the audience, and summed up the case for the group, showed his usual balance and calm.
Space will not permit me to give the names of the thirty persons participating in the conference. I doubt whether the group could be duplicated, either within the Negro race or among the true blue white philanthropists who befriend us. I doubt whether the group pressed with the feeling that General Smuts, in his present attitude, is a true statesman, trying the best he knows how to promote peace on earth and good-will among men.

Diabetes
DIABETES is a disease which manifests weight, a ravenous appetite, and the quantity or urine containing sugar, infectious disease, but the result of change.

D IABETES is a disease which manifests itself by loss of weight, a ravenous appetite, and the passage of a large quantity or urine containing sugar. Diabetes is not an infectious disease, but the result of changes in the pancreas. This organ lies below the stomach and its function is twofold. One of its secretions is poured out into the gut for the digestion of fats, and the other secretion is carried away by the blood and influences the burning up and storage of sugar and starchy foods. There are rarely, however, any symptoms referable to the region of the pancreas in these cases.
Some patients remain fat for a long time after the onset of the disease, but eventually lose weight as the condition grows worse. Other symptoms of diabetes are weak-
Insulin was discovered by Banting and Best at the University of Toronto about eight years ago. It is the extract of certain portions of the pancreas and, when injected under the skin, causes a disappearance of the excess sugar in the blood. It is not a cure for diabetes, but a means of prolonging life in the sense that the individual cats a well-balanced diet, is free from symptoms and can carry on their daily work. Insulin is injected under the skin, the unit does just before a meal; it cannot be taken by mouth since the stomach juces destroy its potency. The number of units necessary is determined by the amount of sugar in the urine and the diet.
There are a great many sufferers from the disease who have gotten along for many years without the use of insulin, but if it is needless, it should be used. Injections can be given in the office or at the diabetic clinics, with the result that the patients will soon learn to inject themselves.
Insulin has saved a great many lives, especially in the coma stage. Before the use of insulin, all patients who went into diabetic coma died. If you have symptoms which you suspect may be diabetic, have your urine examined and find out.
Dental Talks
By ROY C. PROCTOR, D. D. S.
(Continued From Last Week.)
REGULAR, frequent visits to the dentist are admitted to be the necessary price to be paid to insure the keeping under control of cavities and other oral maladies. But a previous question should be asked, just when should these visits begin? If there is no treason for the first birthday is a good time. This does not happen, that home dental hygienist should not begin before then; it should begin at birth. The daily use of a little milk of magnesia on a cotton swab over the entire mouth will be found to be very beneficial in keeping the baby's mouth in a wholesome and sweet condition.
At the first appearance of teeth, a very soft brush should be used and stiffer ones should be substituted as soon as the mouth can stand them. At the very earliest time the child should be taught to brush the mouth both bristles and roughly impressed with the importance of its regular twice-a-day use.
We just said that the fourth birthday was a good time for the first visit to the dentist. The reason for this is that at this time the temporary or baby dentition is about complete or, at any rate, nearly complete. I irregularities of the teeth may set in, and some may be anticipated and thus be prevented or at least minimized and so prevent much inconvenience or expense or both later. The term irregularities refers to those which cause protrusion, retraction, eue, of the front teeth particularly. Another reason for visiting the dentist at this time is in order that he may fill any cavities in the temporary teeth. It is a mistake to neglect the teeth because they simply because they will be in time to be shed and will be replaced by the permanent set. Cavities cause a premature loss of the temporary teeth, which, in turn, causes the permanent teeth to be irregular.

Some patients remain fat for a long time after the onset of the disease, but eventually lose weight as the condition grows worse. Other symptoms of diabetes are weakness, dry, itchy skin and a tendency to develop boils and carbuncles. The most common cause of the body on the part of the body to digest properly and assimilate sugars and starchy foods. As a result of this, poisonous products are produced in the body due to faulty digestion of fat, which is in itself dependent on good sugar and starch digestion. When the sugar in the blood reaches a point above normal, it overflows in the urine, and if this condition be allowed to go on without treatment it results in loss of consciousness and death. Diabetes it is obvious that diet is one of the most important considerations. The main object is to work out a diet which the patient can take care of, i.e., there should be no sugar in the urine, no loss of weight
