LIBERIAN FREEDMEN HOLD SLAVES
REPORT TO LAY BARE OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM IN AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Conditions Scarcely Distinguishable From Those Culminating in Civil War Obtain
TWO WOMEN, MAN SLAIN IN HARLEM
Slave Conditions in Liberian Republic
SLAVERY—that primitive instinct inherent in the very nature of man and beast—has raised its ugly head in the one country one would least expect to find it. Liberia, a republic founded as a haven for former slaves, has, in its turn, permitted a system of bondage to grow up that is not much unlike that which caused the Civil War.
The long awaited report of the International Commission of Inquiry set up by the Liberian Government itself will soon be made public. The preliminary report, published in Liberia, clearly indicates what it will contain. Slavery as defined by the Anti-Slavery Convention, pawning of human beings, forced labor in and outside of Liberia, the conscription of labor for private purposes and oppression by the Liberian Frontier Force, are some of the evils laid bare by the commission that exist in the Republic of Liberia today.
Recognized as a feature of early civilization, the nearest approach to classic slavery is now confined almost entirely to Abyssinia and Liberia, the only two remaining strongholds of the Ethiopian in Africa; though conditions bordering on slavery exist in other parts of Africa, India and, among other places, right here in the southern part of the United States. It is time now that it be eradicated everywhere.
White Americans Are Some Soldiers
WHITE American soldiers of the Expeditionary Force not only covered themselves with glory on the battlefields of France, but to them also goes the credit for leaving the largest number of war babies as an aftermath of the Rhineland occupation. During this three-year period the 5,000 white American soldiers produced more illegitimate children than the 80,000 French soldiers. English troops came out in second place, with Frenchmen third in front in the rear, then Belgian and the Negro race responsible for the smallest percentage.
American troops outdistanced the whole field. The 5,000 white troops impregnated more than 3,500 German girls with alien babies to "impress upon the German people the night of the Allied strength" in battle. we suppose. Some soldiers, these white Americans.
A New Champ
THE SENATE Primary Investigating Committee got an earful from F. N. Chamberlain, Democratic chairman of Macon county, when Chamberlain told them that voters there never had to register to vote because, he said, "I know every person in the county, and who can vote and who cannot." No wonder elections in the South are such a farce.
Strictly Private
SENATOR Thomas Heflin has a private prohibition question on his hands. His son, Thomas, Jr., was found $10 and costs after pleading guilty to a charge of being drunk and disorderly. The Pope's wine is certainly potent.
Garveys Have Offspring
Announcements have been received here from Kingston, Jamalca, by local Garveyites that a son was born to Councillor Marcus Garvey, president and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Mrs. Garvey at "Somail Court," Lady Musgrave road, St. Andrew, on Wednesday morning. September 17.

Conditions Scarcely Distinguishable From Those Culminating in Civil War Obtain in Country Founded for Freedmen
Slavery, as defined by the Anti-Slavery Convention, exists in the Republic of Liberia. This startling disclosure, from information in the possession of The Amsterdam News, is expected to be made a part of the International Commission of Enquiry's full report into the question of slavery and forced labor in the African republic. The information presented has been gleaned from the September 15 issue of the Official Gazette, a government newspaper.
So much time had intervened between the appointing of the commission and the study of the situation that it was thought that the government of Liberia would be able to end most of the abuses complained of during the past few years, so the report and its recommendations will be all the more startling.
While slavery exists in Liberia, the commission found that it is discouraged by the government, in that any slave who appeals to the courts for release may be granted his freedom on a writ of habeas corpus or upon direct proceedings against his master or owner. In some cases domestic slaves have obtained their freedom upon evidence of ill-treatment.
Native Women Used as Pawns.
There has been no evidence that leading citizens of the country participate in domestic slavery, but there is evidence that some Americo-Liberians take natives as pawns and, in some instances, have criminally abused the system for personal ends by taking women as pawns and using

them to attract male laborers to their land. The vocational will also confirm the charge forced labor has been made use of in Liberia, chiefly for motor-road construction, for building civil compounds and military barracks and for porterage. Labor recruited by county superintendents and district commissioners for public purposes, in many instances, has been diverted to private use on the farms and plantations of high government officials and private citizens without pay to the laborer.
Laborers Recruited by Force.
Another finding of the commission is that a large proportion of the contract laborers shipped to Fernande Poo and French Gabun from the southern counties of Liberia have been recruited under conditions of criminal compulsion scarcely distinguishable from slave raiding and slave trading, frequently by misrepresenting the destination.

BOSTON, Oct. 20 (CNS).—The Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, New York and Washington Baptist minister and one-time candidate for vice-president of the United States, was convicted of using the mails to defraud here Thursday in the Federal District Court.
The Rev. Mr. Drew was inducted earlier in the year in connection with a drive to raise $25,000 for the Boydton Institute at Boydton, Va.
William H. Lewis represented the defendant and Attt. U. S. Atty. Haven Parker represented the Government. The prosecution alleges that the school for which the Rev. Mr. Drew collected funds has been closed for more than two years. After a jury was impaneled a number of white ministers at whose church the Rev. Mr. Drew had spoken testified. These ministers were witnesses for the Government. Later R. C.

The school was reopened this October after two years of inactivity, Mr. Covington testified.
It was brought out in testimony that Boydon Institute was founded by Charles Curtis of Boston many years ago. It was later run by the Christian Missionary Alliance, where white missionaries received training. Dr. Charles Satchell Morris headed the school from 1920 to 1924.
Three letters were offered by the defense, signed by Prof. Julius F. Martin of Boston, authorizing Dr. Drew to collect funds for the school, but it was revealed that Martin was without authority and had no connection with the institute. However,

The school is about 100 miles west of Richmond and is now headed by C. R. Thorpe.
The presentation brought out the facts that boys in his Bocker T. Washington quartete that sang at the Boston rallies and concerts were not from any Southern school, but were boys picked up in and around Boston.
The Rev. Mr. Drew was at one time a candidate for Mayor of New York City. Sentence will be pronounced at a later date.
Curtain Rung Down On Sidney Kirkpatrick
"He was on his way to get a part in "The Green Pastures" at the time of his death, but God called him to greener pastures where he might lie down and rest." Thus the Rev. John W. Robinson eulogized on the death of Sidney Kirkpatrick, 49, popular actor of 118 West 130th street, at the funeral services for Mr. Kirkpatrick Sunday afternoon at the Granville O. Paris Funeral Home, 151 West 131st street.
Preceding the reading of the obituary and the brief funeral address by Dr. Robinson, the late actor's friends, who crowded the tiny chapel, joined in the singing of the hymns, "Abide With Me" and "Lead Kindly Light," which were played by Miss Evelyn Burwell of "The Green Pastures" cast.

Irishman Leaves 16 Wives And 50 Children in Africa
Is polygamy prevalent only among non-Christians and non-whites? Or, to put the question in another way, is a Christian white capable of loyalty and affection for multiple wives? An Irishman has set the record of having sixteen Negro wives, by whom he had fifty children. He seems to have been a loyal husband and a devoted father. This unusual private life of the Irishman, a Mr. Doherty, has just come to light, for he recently died in Lagos, Nigeria. West Africa, leaving a fortune of more than $3,000,000, and his will has gone to the Colonial Secretariat in London. Each of his wives and each of his children are named in the will and left a handsome legacy. Each wife has also a house of her own in Lagos. The will is considered flawless.
The Irishman spent most of his life at Lagos and had apparently taken to the life of the country with a great zest and a great deal of success. He had identified himself with the ways and traditions of his wives, so that all his children bear the native, non-Christian names, some of which run to fifteen letters.
LATE NEWS BULLETINS
HURLS SELF TO DEATH AFTER TRYING TO SLAY SWEETHEART
Following an attempt to murder his sweetheart while she lay in her bed at home, Clarence Nickens, 29, a porter, 142 West 140th street, leaped five stories to a courtyard at 2860 Eighth avenue yesterday morning. He died at 10:10 a.m. in Harlem Hospital, where doctors found his bones hopelessly crushed. Julia King, 29, of the Eighth avenue address, rushed from her apartment screaming at 9:30. Her hands, chest, neck and left arm were slashed and bloody. When Patrolman Holliday of the West 136th street station entered the house she told him that Nickens, a sweetheart since last year, attacked her with a bread knife and an ice pick, accusing her of infidelity. As the policeman entered the apartment he saw a rear window open. He looked out and saw the feebly breathing body of Nickens.

Three Harlem men were under the shadow of murder charges today following a hectic six-day period during which a man and two women met their deaths at the hands of infuriated slayers.

German Boxer Dies From Blow in Ring
Larry Hogan Gives Fatal Knockout Punch to Carl Baldus
A boxing match between Carl Baldus, 25, white, 539 East 149th street, and Larry Hogan, 25, 100 West 192th street, at the Lenox Sporting Club, 107th street and Park avenue. Monday night ended tragically for Baldus when he collapsed in the third round and died a few minutes later in his dressing room.
Hogan, who struck the knockout blow which felled his opponent and from which the latter never recovered, dying without regaining consciousness, was arrested on a charge of homicide and taken to the East 104th street station, where he was held without ball.
All officials of the club and the managers of both boxes were summoned to the District Attorney's office for questioning by Assistant District Attorney P. Francis Marro, who is in charge of the case.
Baldus, a German, was a former sparring partner of Max Schmelling and had appeared in numerous amateur performances. Monday evening's bout, however, was his first appearance as a professional boxer; it proved also to be his last.

WHENEVER Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees.

William West, 39, a presser, 268 West 121st street, who was arrested early Monday morning by Lieut. John P. Baxter of the West 123d street station on a charge of slaying Howard Robinson, 30, the motorist, 226 West 123d street, is suspected of being the automobile killer. He was arraigned later in the day in the Homicide Court and held without ball for a hearing on Monday. The officer found West in a drugged stupor in the 121st street rooming house. The befuddled man was unable to answer the policeman's questions, and an opium smoking outfit gave mute testimony of a night of dreams and refuge from the world of reality.
It was learned the 'West was arraigned in Harlem Court on Oct. 8 and charged with threatening the life of Robinson who, it appeared, was gaining favor with a pretty Harlem girl whose name was withheld by police. The court let West off with a warning.
Robinson was driving his new Ford roadster south along Lenox avenue Saturday and had just passed 122nd street when two bullets were fired through the rear of his car. Robinson staggered out of his car at 127th street without being able to stop the machine and fell on the pavement. Sergeant William O'Shaughnessy of the 123d street police station jumped on the running board and pulled the emergency brake in just time to keep the car from running into a crowd of pedestrians who were attracted to the scene.
The victim was taken to Harlem
Chases Brother's Slayer From Hospital; Kills Him
ARDMORE, Okla., Oct. 20 (ANP).
—Enraged because his brother had been killed in a gun battle. Claude Prutt, white, rushed to the hospital where his brother's slayer, Semi Robertson, was being treated for gunshot wounds, chased the wounded man from the hospital and killed him.
Robertson and Babe Prutt, a constable, had shot it out a few hours before the constable was killed. Robertson was rushed to the hospital for treatment and Prutt was carried there to be pronounced dead.
When Claude Prutt was advised of the duel and the outcome, he selzed him and went to the hospital, declaring that "I'll kill every Negro in that hospital." Officials attempted to restrain him, but to no avail.
When he reached the ward, Robertson was receiving treatment for a lung wound. Seeing the brother of the man whom he had killed approaching with a gun in his hand, Robertson ran for more than a half mile before he fell to the ground exhausted.
ANTI-LYNCHING RESOLUTION TABLED
American Legion Convention Refuses To Take Stand Against Mob Violence
National Patriotic Body Also Ignores Insult to Negro Gold Star Mothers-Young Post From North Carolina Makes Hit
BOSTON, Oct. 20 (ANP).—If anybody had an idea that this year's convention of the American Legion, held in this city, with its traditional spirit of fair play, was going to be composed of a majority of delegates who carried such a spirit in their own breasts, the official action of the legion will convince such a person that the American Legion is the same baby-faced preterider on the rights of man and justice as between citizens today that it was when organized in St. Louis.
This year's convention was great in the sense that visiting delegates came in large numbers. Boston organized entertainment for them on a grand scale and permitted them wholesale liberty, and the city was filled with noise and illiteracy from the time the legionaires came until they departed.
There was ever present an ebullient spirit of camaraderie between the delegates from all sections and of all colors. One good soldier met another, shook hands, and the stories of the good old days" began.
Brooklyn Police Battled While Arresting Suspect
Accused of attacking two policemen making an arrest of a "policy" suspect, David Collins, the suspect, 424 Ralph avenue; Ella Price, 24, 360 Howard avenue; Catherine Elliott, 20, 360 Howard avenue; John Erstine, 20, 3038 Denne street, and Robert Lindsey, 43, 108 Herzl place, all of Brooklyn, were arrested last Wednesday.
One of the most popular units in the city w's the Col. Charles Young of Charlotte, N. C., led by Lieut. Lawrence A. Osley. This post, possessing a drum corps which has been a feature and prize winner at several legion conventions, was thrown into bold relief on several occasions through the sterling work and appearance of this drum corps. Shortly after its arrival it took greetings to President Hoover and the commander of the legion, O. L. Bodenhamer of Arkansas. The latter came out upon the balcony of his hotel and greeted the boys. Generous praise was given the unit by many other persons, including Mayor Curley of Boston. A strong effort was made by Negro legionnaires, assisted by some white friends, to have the legion take a stand on Lynching and on the discrimination shown by the War Department in the treatment of Gold Star mothers.
The resolution on lynching was prepared, passed and presented through the California department of the legion.
Col. O. L. Bodenhamer, national commander of the legion, could not use his fair section held up to criticism in such a way, and cagely lent his influence to a movement which caused the proposed resolution to be rolled without ever reaching the floor of the convention. "We could never allow this to come up on the floor of the convention," said Bodenhamer.
Similar disposal was made of the efforts on the part of delegates from Illinois and Massachusetts to have the legion make some expression concerning the War Department's treatment of Negro Gold Star mothers.
Borrowed Auto Hits Man; To Face Court Tomorrow
Accused of having abandoned an automobile after striking and probably fatally injuring an unidentified white man, Robert H. Clark, 21, 225 West 121st street, must face a charge of felonious assault in Harlem Court tomorrow.
The man, who was removed to Harlem Hospital suffering from a fractured skull, was struck down shortly after noon Sunday when he attempted to cross the street in front of 363 Lenox avenue. According to police, Clark, who was driving a car owned by Zachariah Golden, 221 West 121st street, abandoned the automobile and fled from the scene.
Later he appeared at the west 123d street police station with the owner of the car and reported that the automobile had been stolen from in front of his home. After further questioning, Clark is said to have admitted that he was the driver of the car and that he had no driver's license. He was then placed under arrest and when arraigned in Harlem Court was held in $2,500 bail for tomorrow's hearing.

Following the altercation, Holbart was arrested on a charge of felonious assault by Detective Chiquisette of the West 123d street station, but was discharged in Harlem Court when Mrs. Smith refused to press her complaint against him.
Held for Slaying.
Her condition steadily grew worse and Mrs. Smith was removed to Harlem Hospital. Immediately following her death, Holbart was rearrested and the charge of homicide filed against him.

Henry Creamer's Death Is Mourned
The burial service was then read by Dr. Brabham.
Those wishing to do so were given the opportunity of viewing the remains. Three hundred persons filed past the flower-laden bier, among them many of the city's musicians and orchestra leaders for whom Mr. Creamer had written songs during his lifetime.
Mr. Creamer, whose songs have been sung, hummed and whistled throughout America, died just before midnight October 14 at the Mt. Sinai Hospital, after an illness of four weeks. His death was due to heart trouble and a complication of several other ailments.
Born June 21, 1879. In Rikhmond, Va. he was the son of the Rev. Henry Creamer and Anna Louis Creamer. His father was also an inventor and perfected a device used in machine pumps. At an early age Creamer was brought to New York by his parents and received his early education in the New York public schools. Leaving school because the desire for a career in the field of music was too great to be restrained, Mr. Creamer began the work which was to make him a power in the theatrical and musical world.
Worked With Rogers
One of his earliest successes was "The Oyster Man," a play with music, which he wrote for Ernest Hogan. Then followed "The Old Man's Boy," written in collaboration with the late Alex Rogers. Successful from the beginning, he was sought by the leading stars to write songs for them. He has written for Al Jolson, Sophie Tucker, Fannie Brice, and scores of others whose names are known to the theatrical world.
In 1918 the popular lyrical teamed with Turner Lyton, now of the team of Lyton and Johnstone, and the two were associated in song writing for six years. In 1921 they wrote "Strut, Miss Lizzie," a musical comedy, which was very popular and in which they both were stars. The two also collaborated on "The Three Showers." Broadway success of some years ago, which Charles Coburn produced.
Wrote Late Hits.
Creamer wrote during his career hundreds of songs, many of them hits of years ago. A few of them are "Sweet Emmaine, My Gall" "Goodbye, Alexander" "Walk, Jennie Walk," "Send Back My Honeyman," "After You've Gone," and "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans." His two latest numbers, which were done in collaboration with Jimmy Johnson and Max Rich, respectively, are "If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight" and "My Blue Bird Was Caught in the Rain."
He also wrote for such well-known composers and producers as Will Vodery, Lester Allen, James Hanley, Fortunio Bonanova, and Florenza Ziegfeld. A drama with music and a musical comedy in manuscript were found among his effects by his wife, Mrs. Lillian Creamer. An actress of no little ability, Mrs. Creamer was cast for three character parts by David Belasco in his production of "Lulu Belle." She also played the flapper in Wallace Thurman's "Harlem." She was married to Mr. Creamer in 1919 in Philadelphia, and was his second wife. Aside from his wife, Mr. Creamer is survived by a son by his first wife.

who spent more than thirty years on the stage, was paid by a fellow actor, A. B. Comathiere, one of the members of the original "Lafayette Players" company. "He has gone to play in a greater cast than ours," Mr. Comathiere said. The services were concluded with the singing of "O, Dry Those Tears," by Miss Olive Hopkins.
Had Premonition.
Mr. Kirkpatrick died of a heart attack Thursday morning in a taxicab as he was being driven home. He was on his way downtown when he became ill in the subway. He left the subway at Ninety-sixth street and, halling a taxicab, gave the driver his address and the number of his apartment. Soon after entering the cab he collapsed and was driven to his home. On reaching there he was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by examining physicians.

born August 5, 1881, in Glasgow, Ky. At an early age he was taken by his parents to Indianapolis, Ind., where he attended the public schools. The urge to go on the stage came at an early age and in 1900, at the age of nine, he was singing in a quartet in an "Uncle Tom Show." Then began a series of engagements with various road shows. For several years he played the interlocutor part with the minstrel shows of Billy Kersands and of Richard and Pringle. For a time he teamed with Tim Ousley in a vaudeville act.
In March, 1916, Mr. Kirkpatrick joined the Lafayette Players in New York and, as fate would have it, his future wife, the then Miss Bowman, joined the company the same week. On July 21, 1917, the two were married and continued playing with the Lafayette Players until the original company disbanded, some years later. The two then formed the vaudeville team of Kirkpatrick and Bowman.
In 1928, accompanied by his wife Kirkpatrick went to Los Angeles where they rejoined the reorganized Lafayette Players, appearing in a year's engagement at the Lincoln Theatre. For six months he worked in the R. K. O, motion picture studio in Hollywood. Making the return trip from Hollywood by motor the Kirkpatricks appeared the week preceding his death at the Alhambra Theatre. This was to be his final bow before the public which he loved and for which he had given the principal years of his life. Aside from his wife, Mr. Kirkpatrick is survived by a brother, Robert Kirkpatrick of Los Angeles. Following the brief funeral services on Sunday afternoon the body, accompanied by his widow, was taken to Washington, where interment took place Monday.

Because he attempted to take his life eighteen years ago, William E. Smith, 431 Prince street, Brooklyn, was adjudged a second offender Friday in Kings County Court and sentenced to ten years in Sing Sing by Judge Conway.
Though a felony at the time, attempted suicide is no longer an offense in New York State.
Smith was convicted of stealing $20 worth of drugs from a Brooklyn pharmacy on July 8. The jury was asked by Judge Conway to pass on the question whether his former offense made him a second offender as attempted suicide was removed from the penal code as a crime in 1918.
Adjudged a second offender, Judge Conway was compelled, under the Baumes Law, to give Smith the ten-year sentence. In pronouncing sentence, Judge Conway said: "While I am compelled to send you away for ten years, I give you my promise that I personally will go to Governor Roosevelt and plead in your case so that this sentence may be substantially reduced."

France's coronation gift is an aeroplane, which is also on its way here. Presidents Hoover of the United States and von Hindenburg of Germany are sending autographed photographs. The German chief executive is also sending 500 bottles of the finest Rhine wines. Costly gifts are on the way from the Kings of England, Belgium and Italy, the Emperor of Japan and the President of France. One of King George's gifts to Tatari, who will be crowned His Malege, Hailte Sassiille I, a coronation cake weighing nearly a ton. The Duke of Gloucester, third son of King George, will represent his father at the ceremony.
Three years ago when Tafari was proclaimed Negus he led a procession on an ass while his followers trekked on foot. On coronation day he will ride either in a Rolls-Royce or the coach formerly used by Emperor Wilhelm, which he purchased from Germany for $6,000.
Night of Prayer.
Tafari will pass the entire night preceding the coronation in solemn incantation and prayer at St. George's Cathedral, says the New York Tribune, while "outside, thousands of Abysinian Christians, subjects of the King of Kings and Lion of Judah," will stand during the vigil holding lighted candles, sacred images and ecclesiastical happens.

"Silently and alone, within the dark cholesterol walls of the famous church, built by the Emperor Menelik as a thank offering for the victory of the Abysinians over Italian troops in 1836, the two sovereigns throughout the night will invoke the blessings of Heaven upon their reign, their people and their country.
Ceremony at Dawn.
"As dawn breaks through the inner sanctuary, their majesties, clad in gorgeous robes of crimson velvet embroidered with gold and set with diamonds, will be crowned by the Coptic archbishop, assisted by six other bishops. The archbishop and the bishops will pronounce a Te Deum in the Gees language, which is the ancient ecclesiastical tongue of Abysini.
"The crowns today reposed on a high altar in the church, the six bishops praying over them for twenty-one days before the coronation. The precious stones and gold with which they are set were purchased in Europe and made by master goldsmiths of the country at a cost of $1,000,000. "The coach will be drawn by splendid white horses imported from Hungary, driven by the former coachman of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. Capital City Two Miles Up.

The government has commandeered all the automobiles, trucks and carriages in the city and taken over the hotels. For three months officials have been working day and night to give the capital a gala dress for the enthrancement of the oldest dynasty in the world. "The Abyssinians were converted to Christianity in the fourth century and have kept up their connection with the Alexandrian Church through their 'Abuna', or chief bishop, who is always a Copt and is appointed by the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria."
Tafari's Career.
"It was in September, 1916, that there occurred a rebellion against Lij Yasn, grandson of Menelik of blessed memory," reported the New York Times recently. "Tafaril, then only 25 years old, led a successful revolt, and when Zauditl, daughter of Menelik, placed on the throne her cousin, Tafaril was named regent. With the religious chiefs firm in their opposition to him Tafaril's chances looked slim. Ras Gusa Wolye, husband of the Empress, maintained himself as local king in the northwest and other chiefsfleits showed their contempt for Tafaril. But Tafaril was patient. In 1926 he beat the revolt led to the walls of Addis Ababa by Balcha.
"Then in 1928 he so turned the tables against the leaders of what was known as the palace revolt that he was crowned Negus. He continued to consolidate his position, even importing French airplanes to scatter propaganda pamphlets denying allegations that he was a Roman Catholic and not a good member of the National Church. He worked so well that when, at the first of last year Gugsa tried to start a rebellion against him, the husband of the Empress found himself isolated. Tatari sent an army of 25,000 men against Gugsa. A battle took place on March 31. Gugsa was killed and his army routed. And two days later the Empress died suddenly." Tafari was proclaimed King on April 3 last.

Husband Kills Wife After Making Love to Her Sister
CHARLOTTE, N. C. Oct. 20

triangles" before, but none that could
approach one which has just been
uncovered here by that great eliminator
of evils—Death.
As the result of the numerous
trysts, Mrs. Odessa Phifer, 23, young
and comely, is dead, and her husband
is at large, fleeing the murder
charge, because his wife asked him
about his friendship with her sister.
The sister, Blanche Stewart, could
not be reached for a statement, but
the details of the crime seem to
indicate that Mrs. Phifer, becoming
disturbed by the ever-increasing intimacy between the two, on Sunday
morning took her husband to task
about the affair.
Phifer, waxing quite indignant over
the query, replied by taking his
revolver and shooting her.
Ind. Atty. General To Probe Lynchings
Marion Grand Jury Action Held Evidence to Be Insufficient
Indianapolis, Oct. 20 (ANP).—Last week the Grand Jury of Grant county held an inquiry into the lynching of two boys at Marion and refused to return indictments against any of the members of the mob which proke into the pal, seized the boys and hanged them to trees in the courtroom. Yankee. It further exonerated Stuart Jeff. Jacob Campbell, against whom charges of willful negligence had been made.
An abundance of evidence, gathered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and independent agencies, was said to have been submitted to the Grand Jury. This evidence definitely involved a number of residents of Grant county by name, including the sheriff. But the Grand Jury held the evidence to be insufficient for indictment.
Wednesday of this week, however James M. Ogden, Attorney General of the state, filed affidavits, charging Sheriff Jacob Campbell, a power in Grant county politics, with neglect of duty, and seven other white men with active participation in the lynching.
Mr. Ogden stated that he was acting under authority granted by a seldom used law because the Grant county Grand Jury, although it had been presented evidence regarding the lynching, failed to index and instead officially exonerated Campbell Ogden may ask a change of county from Grant county, an allusion Ku Klux Klan member. The men accused of the leader are: Charles Leonon, Everett Clark, Arnold Walters Boyd, Robert Beshle, Prairie and Chester Pease, the first names of Boyd and Praim not being known. Penalty for their conviction is death or life imprisonment.
"The duty of the Attorney General is positive under the Indiana statute," read a statement issued by Mr. Ogden. "He is to prosecute. He has no authority to judge the case himself. That must be done by the court and jury. The lawmakers in Indiana have seen fit to make it a state affair and to ordain that the Attorney General take orderly legal proceedings when lynchings occur, to the end that law and order be preserved throughout the state."

Population Shift to City Increases Negro-White Industrial Competition
Rosenwald Fund Committee Tells Hoover Colored Labor Needs Education, Unionization-Aid for Farmers Urged
The shifting of large groups of Negroes from rural to urban centers has resulted in keener competition between Negroes and whites in many industries during the last two decades, according to a report made to President Hoover by Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., of the University of North Carolina.
The survey made by Dr. Woofter was undertaken with the aid of a grant from the Julius Rosenwald Fund of Chicago at the suggestion of President Hoover. The summary says vantage may be taken of opportunities for industrial training and employment. (7) that home ownership should be encouraged.
vantage may be taken of opportunities for industrial training and employment. (7) that home ownership should be encouraged.
"In industry, as in agriculture, profound changes affecting the Negro have been taking place in recent years. In the South, whites now compete with Negroes for such occupations as domestic service, carpentering, bricklaying, plastering, painting, tailoring and barbering, most of which formerly were largely traditional Negro callings.
Farm Ald Suggested.
The committee also suggests to President Hoover for the improvement of the Negro's agricultural situation:
1. That agricultural education in Negro schools and state colleges be generally strengthened; that emphasis be laid on agricultural economics especially in farm management and marketing. Private as well as public funds can play an important part in this work.
"Negroes in large numbers have moved northward to enter a wide range of occupations. By 1920 one-third of the Negro population was in cities, and the census of 1930 will show an even larger proportion.
2. That continuing attention be paid to extension facilities in order to increase productivity and promote better farm management, especially by improving the caliber and increasing the number of farm and home demonstration agents and through the Federal Board of Vocational Education. Negro agents are especially effective in reaching Negro farmers.
"Losses in one class of occupations have been offset by gains in others, but the shifts have worked great hardship. The losses have been in certain skilled trades and in municipal employment in the South, and in jobs such as waiters and barbers, both South and North.
"The greatest gain in Negro employment from 1010 to 1920 (the last year for which census material is available) was in the steel, meat packing, rubber, and automotive industries.
Questionnaires indicate that the major plants which employed Negroes before 1920 have since continued to employ them in about the same numbers.
3. That efforts be put forth to include Negro farmers in co-operative marketing projects. Special efforts are needed to make the Negro realize the value of co-operative marketing and enter into the activities of these associations.
4. That experimentation be undertaken to discover better and more economical methods of handling production credits for Negro farmers.
"The committee notes that there are obstacles to the rise of Negroes into the higher paying jobs, but both the census of 1920 and the fact-finding report of Dr. Wooster indicate an encouraging increase in Negro employment in skilled and semi-skilled occupations."
5. That efforts be made to widen land ownership by Negroes, both individually and collectively, and to strengthen communities of Negro land holders.
The farm problem is shown to affect both races, and in the South the tragedy to the Negro farmer of the one-crop system, under which he usually raises cotton to the exclusion of other materials, is noted. The report calls attention, however, to the many Negro farmers who are successful under the present system.
Rudolph Brown Freed of Holdup Charge by Court
Rudolph Brown. 40, 417 West 150th street, who gained notoriety when arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Caspar Holstein, club and fraternal man, was discharged from a charge of robbery by Magistrate Goodman in Heights Court Thursday.
Recommends Program.
For the amelioration of the industrial situation in which the Negro finds himself, the committee presenting Wootter's conclusions to President Hillel, with which includes T. Arnold Hill, B. Benjamin F. Hubert R. Moton, also William Green of the American Federation of Labor, Julius Rosemald and Secretary of Commerce, Lapton, recommends.
Brown was freed when Edward Spurr, 561 West 189th street, a rent collector, was unable to identify him as one of two bandits who robbed him of $850 in the hallway of 134 West 133d street on August 11. It was erroneously reported last week that he was held for the Grand Jury. While the police admitted they had no evidence to connect Brown with the actual holdup, they had received information that he pointed out Spurr to the men who committed the robbery.

Citizens' Committee to Take Grievances Direct to Mayor
DETROIT, Oct. 20 (ANP)—Because of the recent series of violent outbursts of brutality on the part of some members of the local police force, a group of public-spirited citizens and leaders of many of the civic organizations have assigned to themselves the task of eliminating these unwarranted attacks on hoofless and, in most cases, peaceful and law-abiding citizens. These attacks, according to reports, have resulted in cowardly beatings and killings by police officers, most of which was, according to newspaper accounts, the killing of a man while handcuffed. Entering a home and beating up the entire family, forcing scantily dressed women to go to police stations and directing insulting remarks to them, are other charges placed at the door of the police.
The first step to be taken by the group of defenders will be an audience with the mayor, at which time the commissioner of police is to be present. The group will go in a body and state its grievances and demand

Knowing how difficult it has always proven in the past to have a police officer brought to trial, except before the police trial board, by which tribunal he is almost always exonerated for any offense regardless of how malicious, this group is taking the proverbial "bull by the horns" by going directly to the mayor, who comes up for election next November,

American Federation to Champion Struggle of Pullman Brotherhood
Federal Court Rules No Emergency Exists for Enjoining Election of Company Body Cash and Moral Support Pledged
The American Federation of Labor, on the occasion of its fifteenth annual conference in session in Boston from October 6 until Friday, voted unanimously to aid the fight of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters against the Pullman Company both "morally and financially." A. Philip Randolph, president of the porters' organization, told The Amsterdam News Saturday.
UP
"President William Green," said Mr. Randolph, "and the members of the federation's executive council were instructed to use every effort to bring the fight of the porters to a successful conclusion. The promise of financial aid by the federation to any organization is most unusual and finally the brotherhood is encouraged in having enlisted so powerful an organization to work in its behalf."
While scoring a signal victory in its efforts to interest the American Federation of Labor, the Brotherhood was less successful in Chicago last Wednesday when Charles E. Woodward, Federal judge, refused to issue a temporary order restraining the Pullman Company from interfering with the conduct of the organization and its affiliated units. Judge Woodward held that emergency existed which justified restraining the company from holding the elec- tion its company union said there was no evidence of any preparable damage which the porters would suffer if such an election was held.
The judge, however, maintained that he would be willing to hear arguments on a permanent injunction within twenty days. At that time, according to Mr. Randolph, the Brotherhood will seek to secure "the disestablishment of the company union on the ground that it is illegal under the Railway Labor Act. We are determined," said the labor head "to go through with the fight and will carry it to the Supreme Court if necessary."
The porters were represented by Henry T. Hunt, former member of the Railway Labor Board; David Lillenthal and John F. Lynch of Chicago, all of them white.

Who was the owner of the cat?
Who was the owner of the cat?
That was the question puzzling Magistrate Goodman in Helights Court on Saturday. The jurist puckered his brow. Why worry over the ownership any longer? Let a jury in the Municipal Court decide, "Case dismissed," the court said.
Miss Helen Snell, 20, 306 West 146th street, claimed to be the mistress of the sleek Angora cat. She summoned Charles P. Francis, 304 West 149th street, to court, claiming that he was unlawfully withholding her property. But Mr. Francis was equally positive that the nine lives of the master of the animal's nine lives.
Miss Snell testified that the cat shipped through the door door of her master and disappeared. On October 16 she was informed by a friend, Mrs. Mary Brown, who also lives at the 146th street address, that she had seen her missing cat in the possession of Francis.
Harry A. Johnson, 266 West, 139th street, testified that he was the owner of a pet shop and that he had sold the cat to Miss Snell for $5.
In turn the owner of a pet shop on 146th street testified that he had sold the cat to Francis for $15 last May, two months before Miss Snell alleges she lost the animal.
Magistrate Goodman then inquired from the Miss Snell what she fed the cat. She replied she gave him cereal while Francis said he favored a liver. "Any cat will eat liver," remarked the magistrate in refusing to decide the destiny of the cat and referred the matter to the civil court for adjudication.

Ga. "Black Shirts" Denied Incorporation Certificate
ATLANTA, Oct. 20—The American Fascist Order of Black Shirts, which petitioned for incorporation in Georgia and listed among its purposes the promotion of "white supremacy." was denied a charter in Fulton County Superior Court Friday by Judge G. H. Howard, who said that some members apparently misunderstood the term "white supremacy" and sought a charter "authorizing both legal and illegal acts."
The American Fascist Order of Black Shirts, chartered at Orlando, Fla., and which intervened in Fulton County to oppose the charter for the Georgia case, enjoined from operating in Fulton county.
Evidence showed that several Atlanta firms had been confronted with demands from the black shirts to discharge colored laborers and put white men in their places.

Nail Thinks Negro Harlem Is Doomed
Agrees With Pickens on Ouster by Boosts in Realty Values
William Pickens' belief that the Negro will be driven from Harlem by rising real estate values and mortgage foreclosures, which was published last week in The Amsterdam News, has been upheld in a statement to the Associated Negro Press by John E. Nail, leading Harlem realty man and member of the firm of Nall and Parker, Inc.
Mr. Nail said:
"He has captured an opinion as to his land, and as a practical real estate man, I know he is absolutely right in his judgment of conditions. It is a tragedy that Negro real estate men are not on a more cordial footing, and I am afraid this fact reduces itself to one answer. Men must possess competence to be able to counsel together.
"Mr. Pickens' view of Harlem with reference to Negro tenancies being compelled to move on is not only true of our group, but is true as to every other economic group. The Manhattan Island is but for a few years longer in the face of tremendously increasing land values, which are going to be very high."
"The only hardships sustained in the ownership of real estate in this neighborhood are where people have been improperly directed in the investment of their initial capital. The real estate broker's job is to advise the purchase of real estate where the capital investment is very limited.
"Three are a great many people and a great many organizations owning real estate in this territory that are in the safe category because they have very little or no mortgage on their properties.
"Mink we might predict that the Negro crowd out of this territory will be into the Bronx. In fact, there seems to be a move in that direction now."

Stubborn Coughs Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home
Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up a stubborn, lingering cough. It takes but a moment to prepare and costs little, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics.
From August, get 2½ ounces of Pinex, pour it in a cup and bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times the cost. It never spoils and tastes so good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflamed throat membranes with surprising ease, but also is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly through the bronchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throwing off the cough. It loosens the germladen phlemm and eases chest soreness in a way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of croseose, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases disre�ing coughs, chest colds, and bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief of money refunded.
Employment Situation Looks Brighter in Spots
The National Urban League, through its Industrial Relations Department, of which T.

From Buffalo comes word that two Standard Oil service stations are making their first experiment in city with Negro attendants in charge of workers of both races. The Shell company has worked with one worker in order to meet the competition of the Standard Oil. Richmond reports that upwards of fifty building laborers have been employed on new construction jobs with prospects of more being needed soon. Newark reports the opening of a new store with all Negro help.

Walgreen, Chain Druggist, Remembers Fellow Worker
Gives Unemployed and Sick Friend a Job for Life
CHICAGO, Oct. 20 (AMP).—In 1890 a young white man, Charles Walgreen, and a young colored man, Charles Morris, worked together in a drug store at Thirty-ninth street and Cottage Grove avenue. The white Charlie was the clerk and colored Charlie was the porter. They ran things around that little old stores. They were friends. When the white Charlie went away to fight in the Spanish-American War, the friend to write to back some was colored Charlie in the drug store, and although as clerk the white Charlie had received $18 a week to the colored Charlie's nine, Morris sent his soldier friend spending change and tobacco—looked out for him.
Walgren was taken sick and sent back home. Morris and his wife met the train and took the young white man to their home, where they nursed him back to health. The white man went back to the drug store and some friends opened another, then another. Today there are more than 300 Walgren drug stores in American cities, and Morris's old friend is a very rich man. Shortly after the Spanish-American War, Walgren and Morris were separated again and lost track of each other. But Morris for the last few years had been living in Watscka, Ill., and a short while ago when, jobless, he found a friend, he became stick, he determined to find out if this rich drug store merchant was his old boy friend.
A letter to Mr. Walgreen brought an immediate response, and Morris was invited to come to Chicago. The two old pals had the time of their lives renewing their old friendship, and Walgreen, after blinding Morris to go to his doctor, ordered him, when he was well, to return to him where he would have "a job for life." Morris will doubtless be much surprised to learn of the great material progress made by his old boy friend, Charles R. Walgreen, but he will also be made happy to know that the white Charlie has continued throughout life the same friendly relations with his race. The Walgreen Company employs several hundred colored persons, from the lowest to the highest positions in the drug stores are among those few places where Negro patrons never have to worry about how they will be treated. Many of the employees in the store have purchased stock from the company and feel, as Charlie Morris did more than thirty years ago, that "they are working with Charlie."

Killed Man Who Refused to Obey Command; Gets Life
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 20.—Convicted of killing Walter Barnes because he refused his command to get him a drink of water, Charles Goodwin, white, was sentenced to life imprisonment last Tuesday immediately after the jury brought in its verdict.
The heinousness of the crime is shown by the fact that the jury deliberated twenty minutes only before reaching a guilty verdict. Goodwin admitted the shooting, but claimed he fired in self-defense. Two other white men are under indictment in connection with the slaying. Goodwin's sentence is the most severe that has ever been met out to a white man who killed a colored man.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (ANP.)—Morris Wright, who has passed the proverbial "fourscore years" full of labor and sorrow, had his day in court when he was charged with assault and battery and bound over to the Grand Jury under $500 bond. Mr. Wright is said to be the oldest person in the city to be charged with felony. He was charged with having become so angry with Richard Lancaster, a son-in-law, that he struck him with a heavy stick, and as the younger man lay in the doorway, Wright is alleged to have fired at him, the bullet making a part in Lancaster's hair. Wright has been arrested before for being too frisky with his revolver when he loses his temper.

UNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND?
The Colored Women of Harlem,

To the Colored
PROTECT
TWO OR TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND?
In voting for candidates for Justice of the Municipal Court think first of your own homes and the interest of the entire community.
The election of Toney and Watson will be of benefit to every one of Harlem's 250,000 Colored citizens.
The election of Hawkins and Rivers will be of benefit to only two of Harlem's citizens—Hawkins and Rivers.
Hawkins and Rivers are the candidates of the Republican Party.
Their election means control of the Court by the Republican Party.
The Municipal Court is often called the "poor man's court."
It deals with rent cases and actions brought to recover radios and other household furniture bought on the installment plan.
Every day it renders decisions affecting your comfort, your welfare and your property—your home.
There are 26 other Municipal Court Districts in the city of New York.
In every one of them where poor people are in a majority, Democratic Justices preside over the Court.
It makes no difference whether the district is composed of Jews, Italians or Irish-Americans of the working class, Democratic Justices in these districts have been elected and re-elected for more than 50 years.
The Negroes of the 10th Municipal Court District have exactly the same interest that the working classes of other Municipal Court districts have.
Plain common sense tells us why it is that poor people in other Municipal Court districts of this city have always voted for Democratic Justices.
They have done so because they wanted a court where the TENANT, not the LANDLORD, can get the benefit of the doubt.
They have done so because they want a court which is not controlled by the same Party whose Leaders own the big installment furniture houses.

Mr. Elmer A. Carter
Chairman of the Non-Partisan Committee
for the election of Charles E. Toney
and James S. Watson
2072 Seventh Avenue
New York City
Dear Mr. Carter:
I am most happy to learn of the decision of your Committee to perform a notable public service, and your action is bound to be successful.
Governor Roosevelt is one of the finest characters in public life. Two acts of his alone are sufficient to prove this. He signed the Constitution of the opportunity to do so. The 369th Regiment was the only political gesture, but solely because of his sincere interest in progress of the Negro is amply demonstrated by the fact of his tions to it, and his years of devoted service to the cause it fine example of New York's fair and liberal Democrats who have for the Negro. Mr. James E. Stephens, candidate for the Abyssinian Association and deserves your earnest support.
You have done excellent work for Toney and Watson. Their will equal the majority of Mayor Hylan in 1921.
Evidence of the state of mind of the Colored voter may be found in the church has opened its doors to us and an overwhelming majority of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in particular seem to be mination at this election to make their contribution to the civil society.
I agree with you entirely in your opinion that, in your campaign and the fact that they are the candidates of Tammany Hall equality. As to the State ticket, the foremost issue is unemployment. One sure way NOT to get work and that is by electing more President Hoover is so much engrossed with the task of enforcing the object of unemployment or, for that matter, to the enforcement of the law.
In these days of "Hoover Prosperity," it might be well to call annual payroll of nearly four million dollars which Colored city Tammany Hall and the present Democratic City administration
Dear Mr. Carter:
I am most happy to learn of the decision of your Committee to support the entire Democratic Ticket at the coming election. You are performing a notable public service, and your action is bound to prove of great value to our people in this community.
Governor Roosevelt is one of the finest characters in public life today. He is entirely without racial prejudice of any description. Two acts of his alone are sufficient to prove this. He signed the bill giving us two Colored judges, with the remark that he was glad of the opportunity to do so. The 369th Regiment was the only one reviewed by him two years in succession. He did this, not as a political gesture, but solely because of his sincere interest in our regiment. Lieutenant Governor Lehman's warm interest in the progress of the Negro is amply demonstrated by the fact of his membership in the N. A. A. C. P.; his generous, financial contributions to it, and his years of devoted service to the cause it represents. Our candidate for Congress, Hon. Joseph A. Gavagan, is a fine example of New York's fair and liberal Democrats who have done so much to make New York City the finest spot in America for the Negro. Mr. James E. Stephens, candidate for the Assembly from the 19th District, will make a notable record in the Legislature and deserves your earnest support.
You have done excellent work for Toney and Watson. Their election by a tremendous majority is assured. I think that their majority will equal the majority of Mayor Hylan in 1921.
Evidence of the state of mind of the Colored voter may be found in the attitude of the churches and the ministers. Practically every church has opened its doors to us and an overwhelming majority of the ministers are working for us, either silently or openly. The members of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in particular seem to be keenly alive to their civic duty and embued with a strong determination at this election to make their contribution to the civic and political progress of the race by supporting our candidates.
I agree with you entirely in your opinion that, in your campaign for Toney and Watson, you need to stress only their superior fitness and the fact that they are the candidates of Tammany Hall, the organization which has accorded to the Negro political and civic equality. As to the State ticket, the foremost issue is unemployment. You should inform the voter who is out of work that there is one sure way NOT to get work and that is by electing more Republicans to office.
President Hoover is so much engrossed with the task of enforcing the 18th Amendment, that he has little time to give to the subject of unemployment or, for that matter, to the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments.
In these days of "Hoover Prosperity," it might be well to call attention, by way of contrasting the two parties, to the enormous annual payroll of nearly four million dollars which Colored city employees receive, solely because of the fairness and liberality of Tammany Hall and the present Democratic City administration.

Democratic Justices have been regularly elected in the other Municipal Court districts because the poor people there have had sense enough to realize that a "poor man's court" should be controlled—not by a rich man's Party—but by a poor man's Party, as the Democratic Party has always been in this city.
The voters of other Municipal Court districts have felt it necessary to keep the Democratic Party in control of their Court for one reason, viz.: to protect their homes.
There are two reasons why the people of Harlem should vote for Democratic Justices of their Court. First, the people of Harlem are poor; second, they are Negroes.
As poor people they should, like all other poor people in the city of New York, vote for Democratic control of their Court in order to protect their homes.
As Negroes they should vote for Democratic Justices for the purpose of maintaining the rights and privileges of the Negro.
The Negro in New York City comes nearer to enjoying equality of rights and opportunity than does the Negro anywhere else in America.
This is the achievement of the Democratic Party, which controls this city and will always control so long as it remains the poor man's Party.
In these hard times we might give heed to the fact that directly as a result of the Democratic Party's fairness toward the Negro nearly four million dollars annually is being paid out of the City Treasury to its Colored employees.
If you want work, there is one sure way not to get it—that is by electing more Republicans to office.
You saved the five cent fare in 1921 by voting to defeat the Republican Party.
So, addressing the Colored women of Harlem, we repeat:
Protect your homes. Cast your own votes and make your husbands, brothers and fathers cast theirs in the interest of Harlem's 250,000 citizens, for the election of Tammany Hall's candidates. Charles E. Toney and James S. Watson.
October 20th, 1930.
Sincerely yours,
FERDINAND Q. MORTON.

the party season has started. If you are to be a guest on some occasion, you are surely confronted with the question of what to serve your guests. The very nature of your party, the season of the year, and the number of guests you are expecting, play a major role in determining what you should serve.
If you do not care to seat your guests at a table, and yet you want all of them served at about the same time, then you should choose a menu that consists of simple refreshments.
Where sandwiches and cookies are used, it should be kept in mind that the decorative scheme of the party may be carried out still further by shaping them with appropriate cookie cutters, into hearts, shamrock, hatchets, rabbits, turkeys, Santa Clauses, etc.—all depending upon the season of the year.
Suggested menus fall into two classes—simple and elaborate. They follow:

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.

You may enhance the beauty of your hair many times by the use of a good brush. This brush, however, like your hair, requires regular attention.
How does a brush aid in keeping the hair beautiful? It helps to untangle the hair and it also spreads the natural oils. To do these things a certain stiffness of the brush is necessary. If the bristles of your brush have become soft, they can be restored to their earlier stiffness by dipping in alum water. On the other hand, if you have purchased a strong brush and give it frequent cleansings, it should retain its firmness for a considerable period.
The most thorough and the quickest way of cleansing a hair brush is to immerse it in a solution of ammonia water. Mix one teaspoon of ammonia with one quart of lukewarm water. Place both your comb and brush in it and let soak for a minute or two. Serub the brush and combo together, rime in cold water, and rub dry with a thick Turkish

HOW TO REMOVE ICE CREAM STAINS
If a washable material has become stained with ice cream, rinse the material in cold water, followed by hot water and soap.
Some kind of grease solvent, such as chlorotrachloride or gasoline, may be used on fabrics that would be injured by washing.
Sometimes, after the ice cream itself has been removed, there are stains from the sugar, fruit or flavoring. These can generally be removed by pouring boiling water on washable fabrics, or by a gentle sponging with warm water if the material is likely to be injured by the hot water treatment.

Dodges Unemployment Here By Going to West Africa
By H. T. MUDGAL.
William Keppton Hart of New York, 24, an accomplished craftsman, turned his face toward Africa at the end of last July. Depression and lack of employment in the United States made young Hart restless, and he decided to adventure rather than waste his time waiting in the employment agencies. And he is not sorry either for having gone to Africa. In fact, he is very enthusiastic about it all.
After three and a half months newspaper to interest, amuse, and instruct West Africa.
After three and a half months sojourn in West Africa, Mr. Hart has returned, not distressed, but with a commercial contact and on a mission. He met at Lagos, Nigeria. Herbert Macintyre, who has started the first daily in West Africa, called the Lagos Daily News.
Mr. Macauley is a very well-educated gentleman. He was trained as a civil engineer in England and worked for the Nigerian government for a time. He has now retired, however, interesting himself in politics. He is devoting the rest of his life to the progress and emancipation of people and country. He is the organizer of the Lagos National Democratic Party and editor of The Lagos Daily News.
Young Hart gave some ideas to Mr. Macauley as to how American daily newspapers are run. The result was that Mr. Macauley became very enthusiastic about the new ideas and invited Mr. Hart to become associated with his newspaper business. Now Mr. Hart is here to purchase an up-to-the-minute tabloid newspaper press, a complete engraving plant, and the rest of the paraphernalia for a hot
Not only is Mr. Macaulay an educated and responsible leader in Nigeria, he is also a progressive and practical business man as his training fitted him to be. Mr. Macaulay has his son in Germany to learn phonetic engraving for his future publishing activities. Mr. Harri's contact simply hastened his plans to bear fruit a little earlier.
Whitens Skin 7 Shades in 7 Nights or Money Back
Mr. Hart visited Dakar, French West Africa, Freetown, Sierra Leone, and Apoho, Calabar, Port Harcourt, and Lagos, Nigeria. At Abobo, who knew his wife and child were killed by the British constabulary, leading with fifty other women a protest against the head tax last December. There he also met Prince Ebel. He also met many philanthropists, local leaders, philanthropists, and, Mr. Maculay, among them in Nigeria.

Now you can have completion bias everyone admires. The Pearl Ballet *Pearl Cream*, a quick and powerful breach, the discovery of a great European ballet.
West Africa has impressed Mr. Hart very much indeed. He found the towns very up-to-date, progressive, and wide-awake. The people show a wonderful spirit and are eager for economic, industrial, and political emancipation. They are very much interested in the American Negro, as well American goods and ideas. Young American teachers with training will find, in the opinion of Mr. Hart, virgin field for work and profit in West Africa. Mr. Hart intends to take his mother over to Nigeria after he gets established and settle there.

The resolution was presented to the convention by A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, because of the attack on the mob violence which has swept the country within the past nine months." The recently organized "Black Shirts," an anti-Negro society of Georgia, and the Ku Klux Klan were styled in the 1960s as "white men" and "white violence" of the traditions of fair play and equal opportunity.

N.J. State School Plans Beauty Course
A beauty culture course, designed to teach young women how to operate their own beauty parlor, is soon to be formally opened by the Bordentown School for Colored Youth, according to announcement today by its principal, W.

The course is being given as part of the Bordentown School's vocational program which fits girls and boys to take their part in modern industrial life. The prominent play played by beauty culture enterprises among Negroes and the opportunities for experts in the field to establish themselves have prompted the establishment of the new course to be the first such course offered by any Negro state institution in the country. The course will be given by Miss Jennle Lee, who conducted a beauty parlor in Washington.
U. S. Education Specialist Arranging Radio Program
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (ANP)—The United States Office of Education, Department of the Interior, through its specialist in Negro education, Dr. Ambrose Caliver, is arranging a radio program to be broadcast over a national hook-up during the observance of American Education Week. This week is observed for the purpose of stimulating widespread interest in our educational system, and one of the broadcasting periods which had been added to the general program will be used for the purpose of focusing the attention of the nation on some of the special educational problems which confront the Negro.
One of the problems which is considered of vital importance and which was revealed in a study made recently by Dr. Calver grows out of the small percentage of Negro enrolled in high school. This group, comprised of African Southern states, showed that only 3.7 per cent of the total Negro school enrollment were in high school in 1927-28, while the percentage for whites was 14.8. Figures were also released in this connection showing the comparison of Negro boys and girls enrolled in high school. Girls were per cent more enrolled than boys at tended high school in 1927-28, while the difference between white girls and boys was only 7 per cent in favor of the girls.
Many persons, while encouraged over the 178 per cent increase in the total Negro high-school enrollment during the past ten years and four years, were not fourth year of high school, lament the fact that so few Negro boys are continuing in school.
YAZOO CITY WORKMAN
RECOVERS STOLEN ENGINE
YAZOO CITY, Miss. Oct. 20. (A.N.P.) The alerness of Jim Lindsay, engine coiler in the local Y. & M.

Several persons saw the wreck and ported it to Lindsay, who immediately got into another engine, fired up and took after them. When the stolen engine was overtaken about three miles from town there was nobody aboard, and it was brought back into the Yazoo City yards by Lindsay. About ten minutes after the freight came through, which would have been wrecked it not been for Lindsay's action.

"I now seems to me that there would be so much more freedom in marriage." With these words Helen Conway, white, concludes an article on "We Try Trial Marriage" in the November issue of The Forum.
If you are thinking of experimenting at trial marriage, it will be well for you to read Miss Conway's personal confession. Yau may change your mind. Love formed the basis of the trial marriage between Fred Stevens and her. They wanted companionship and the joy that comes from living together, but they did not care to have the various responsibilities of marriage.
When two intelligent and experienced persons set out to make an experiment and they fail as completely as these two, is this proof that the experiment itself is unwise? That it is never to be accomplished with success?
Trial marriage offers a certain type of individual happiness; but it does not force individuals to meet their situations and work them out. The ease of a separation is just about the most inviting feature of such a trial. Think long before you leap. If you are bold enough to defy the existing order, the end may find you with far less freedom than marriage offers—T. E. B.

HOW TO LOOK Your Best
Nature's Remedies
DO YOU make use of the fail season? Have you ever stopped to realize how much it offers you?
One of the free things that you should take advantage of is fresh air. Get up early. Take a brisk walk at at least a mile. Note I said "brisk" Walking along slowly is not exercise, and exercise is what most of us need. Walk with your head erect, shoulders thrown back, and take an even stride. Inhale deeply. Fill your lungs with pure, fresh air, and you will find that you feel 100 per cent better the remainder of the day.
If you are one of the tolling millions, allow yourself half an hour more in the morning and walk beyond your subway station to the next one. The extra walk will benefit you.
Don't neglect the more strenuous exercises. Tennis, hockey, swimming and golf are all excellent body builders and can be enjoyed.
Drink plenty of water. Remember the old saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." This is the season for apples and they can be added to the daily diet with little expense.
Nature offers us the greatest health aids free. All we've got to do is make use of them.

and the little wife died from worry, sorry caused by the husband, who took her for granted. He went out night after night, leaving her at home because he knew she could be trusted. He had a gay time with other women and, instead of spending his money on his wife and home, he squandered it. He neglected his wife when she told him she wasn't feeling well. The doctor advised a change for the wife, but the husband couldn't see anything but his own happiness.
Then the woman died and the husband began to awaken. Only two months have passed and he realizes what a fool he was. Of course, he can marry again, but he's got sense enough to know that there's a difference between the type of woman his wife was and the type with which he's been playing around.
His conscience is bothering him
and that's why he's trying to hide
the real facts by saying that they

Apple Ducking
HALLOWEEN wouldn't be Halloween without apples! If on Friday, October 31, you are going to permit your children to have a little party, you must include apples among their refreshments.
Ducking for apples is an old, old game, but it still affords pleasure for children. Get two tubs—one for the boys end one for the girls. Fill each half full with water. Into each tub put a number of apples with long stems, each stem having securely attached to it a slip of paper containing some boy's or girl's name.
For this game, the children's hands must be fastened behind them. The fun consists of trying to catch one of the bobbing apples the teeth—not by stem! The name on the slip of the apple caught is supposed to be the name of the future helpmate of the boy or girl who succeeds in fishing is out of the water.
Household Hints
15 your clothes line dirty? It can be wrapped around the washboard and scrubbed thoroughly with a brush and hot soapsuds. Rinse well and it will be as good as new.
To clean bottles quickly, break an eggshell into them, fill half full of water and shake well.
Coat all hardware, such as door knobs, locks, etc., with paraffin or petroleum ointment when painting doors and windows. Paint dropped on the hardware may then be quickly removed.
Cooking Hints
WHEN warriors stick to the iron, use more shortening.
Chopped green pappers are a worthwhile addition to fish croquettes.
Tested Recipes

Mix well and pour into a Bake in a slow oven until firm in center. Stir two or three times to prevent settling of raisins. Serve hot or cold with cream or sauce.
Asparagus Tip Omelet
Drain asparagus tips and cut into one-inch pieces. Beat four eggs separately. Add to the yolks four tablespoons of water. Half-tear teaspoon of salt. One-eighth teaspoon of pepper. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Melt two tablespoons of butter or substitute. Mix the butter and bake in a moderate oven until firm in the center, about twenty minutes. While omelet is baking, prepare one and a half cups of white sauce and add the asparagus. When omelet is baked, cut halfway through the center; place some of the creamed asparagus in the center; fold over and turn into a hot platter. Pour the remainder of the asparagus around the omelet.
Orange Pudding.
Melt over the fire in one tablespoon of granulated gelatin in a quarter cup of water, then let cool. Bend the yolks of three eggs with the juice of two large, fine orange, the grated rind of the oranges and the tablespoons of powdered sugar until light. Dip the omelet in gelatin and the whites of the eggs in until stiff.
Turn into a mould and let stand in the refrigerator for two hours. Garnish with sections of orange, peeled, and serve with whipped cream.

Hooked and Braided Hugs Are Used on the Waxed Floor in This Bedroom.
Beth dear: brussels, aximisters and wiltons
Of course, there are a lot of other possibilities for your floors that I did not include in the other letter about them. You can do almost anything you please with floors if you just remember they are the foundation of the decoration scheme.
For the bedroom furnished in early American you might use hooked rugs. I remember that you have several very pretty ones and if you plan an early American or colonial bedroom you might build the color scheme around them. The patterns are quaint and attractive and they will look very well on a nicely polished—but not shiny—floor. Plain color draperies and an inconspicuous figured wall paper would do well with them.
Another choice for that room would be linen woven rugs. These are not expensive and they wear solidiend.
Domestic orientals are now being made in patterns and colors just like the imported rugs. Because of their beautiful colors they offer an especially good chance to get in some good effects in color and pattern on the floor. Then, too, there are cheniller.
Stains From Age
IF YOUR white materials have become yellow with age, soak them in buttermilk. If they are only slightly yellow, a few days are sufficient to render the material perfectly white, but in severe cases more time is required. Change the milk occasionally.
IT IS a divine pleasure to admire! Admiration seems in some measure to appropriate to ourselves the qualities it honors in others.

brussels, axminster and wiltons for almost any room in the house. It is usually quite simple to carry out your color scheme, whatever it may be, in one of these rugs. For a room in which brown, blue, and orange were the colors used, a rug of tan and blue would fit perfectly. I believe we talked about a blue, brown and buff scheme for one of your rooms. If you used those colors you would. I know get a brown rug with a dull buff border.
For the kitchen and bathroom and even for the hall and sometimes for the dining room, there are linoleums in every possible combination of colors and in almost endless variety of patterns. This floor covering material came out of the kitchen long ago and is now at home in a great many rooms. It is especially good in the hall where much coming and going gives the floor covering there very hard wear. It is so easy to keep clean and that probably accounts for its popularity. I'm sure you won't object to having in your house a thing easy to take care of, any more than I do. Let me know what was finally decided about your floors. Fondly, Fern Eure.

Washable Gloves
If you launder your gloves correctly, they will give you extreme satisfaction. Be sure to wash the gloves on the hand with lukewarm water and soap. Rinse in lukewarm water with just a little soap in the water. Dry the gloves on the hand with a bath towel. Take the gloves off, stretch them immediately into their original shape and hang them up to dry. Before gloves become thoroughly dry, they should be softened by rubbing gently.
All leather gloves stamped "washable" can be depended on to wash. Doeskin and chamois are washable, whether stamped so or not.
New Umbrella
EVERY new silk umbrella should be taken from its casing immediately, the folds shaken out, and the umbrella hung by the strap or ring. One ideal way is to stuff loosely with tissue paper. This will bring as little wear as possible upon the creases. Still, if the umbrella is shaken loose, there is small danger of wear.

Actors' Equity Association Again Comes to Rescue of Another Performer
When George Ford dismissed from the cast of "Miss Gulliver's Travels" one George Doyle after the latter had put in thirteen c. in rehearsal, Mr. Ford, like most managers or shows employ, does, though that was the end of the matter. But Doyle did not think he was being fairly fit with and being in good standing in the Actors' Equity Association he decided to fight the matter out. Ford asked for arbitration and the upshot of the entire affair was that Doyle won his suit. Doyle is at pres-

ent with the "Mr. Samuel" company at Ford's theatre in Baltimore and expects to return to this city within twelve months with the show. During 1928 and 1929 he was member of the "Mary Dugan" company and latter joined the cast of "Ponica" at the Craig Theatre.
Although doing well for quite some time on the stage, Doyle is a modest man trying to win his way to the top with which he has appeared everybody speaks well of him and he had the moral support of his associates when he sought and won recognition in claim after putting in almost two weeks of rehearsal with the Ford show.
If these performers in Harlem, who are constantly singing the blues of being forced to rehearse for certain events, then dropped upon the eve of the opening show, would only take heed of the courageous ones in the profession, they will fare better. Recently quite a euro was created when Miss Alberta Hunt-ton performed and contracts were produced showing that the moment retained the right to withdraw a performer after the first performance if said performer failed to live up to what the management expected. She was also a story to the newspapermen and backed it up with a suit for her full salary through her attorney, Ralph Warrick. Miss Hunter claims that the appearance she was advised by the manager, Frank Schifman, that she would have to stand a cut in her salary. This she absolutely refused to do, about an argument, which ended when she was ordered from the theatre.
Miss Hunter also claims that instructions were given the stage manager not to allow her back of the stage to appear regularly for the time she had verbal contract for her engagement with the show. She further claims that she made her first appearance without having signed the contract. Mr. Schiffman that he was busy at time and would look after the matter a little later. Negro performers all over the country and Europe will watch with interest the outcome of this fight. As a result, Miss Hunter, a association Miss Hunter, it is said, has the full support of the organization and will carry the battle as far as it is humanly possible for her to go to obtain what she insists should be justified.

Death Claims Two More
By ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY.
CONTINUING his rounds in the ranks of the theatrical profession that grim monster, Death, stopped long enough last week to claim Henry S. Creamer and Sidney Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick had but recently returned to the scenes of his California murps in this film. California, he again termed an association with the same man. Mr. Robert Levy, through whom both he and his wife, Miss Laura Bowman, had enjoyed the opportunity of dis
playing their talents before large audiences, there are audiences far superior in intelligence to those paired with the wishy-washy revues of the present day. In another part of today's paper will found accounts of the work of both those men, but it is only given to those of those who close association with them to disclose those things unknown or long by the majority of their friends. Henry Creamer perhaps had his equal in education, profession, but he had no peer. He
was a genius if ever there was, one given to the art of lyric writing, and another to his contributions clean until the last he is worthy of any tribute that can be paid him. Henry Creamer must have had a boy writer who song writer has brought to the world of the theatre any more touching and happy lyrics as did Creamer, and off he had carried those of his blessed with recollection and with recollection young manhood to those scenes which we will always hold dear. He belonged to an age which gave to Negro actors the best era in their career, too far above the ordinary to supply that superior output from brilliant minds which can hold their own even unto this day. The so-called 'hot' singer which Henry Creamer supplied, nor to those individuals for whom he wrote and who, being at the very top of the ladder in the profession, used his numbers in all the leading theatres of Europe and Amer-
If during the course of this brief tribute to a departed friend we wax more and more aware that there are enough readers of this paper remaining to recall that Creamer called us to take his place here as sporting and dramatic editi this after she had made her first appearance.
For the first time in affairs of this kind the Negro newspapers as a whole came out with the story. A career summary of the various organs discloses that some thing must have happened to create a change in the minds of many of the writers as it was very violently how quiet they seemed to be. The captive operators were fighting for union recognition and a living wage.

tor when he decided to return to song writing. It will be a surprise to many to learn that Henry Creamer was the first sporting and dramatic editor of The Amsterdam News. He carried on his work at the theater was beaten by 17. West 103th street at the time the old Crescent Theatre was in its heyday.
A lover of sport with a fair for the theatre, we helped Henry to the best of our ability and he seemed to take him to Jim Europe and the others we both knew so well that he was "grooming Romie to take his place." And so we stood shoulder to shoulder with him when he staged the final game, whether at one of the local armories, at Young's Casino or at the old Manhattan Casino. He managed the famous Younger Set Girls' basketball team, and to prove to him that we were the best ginger that game which saw the famous Washington Girls' team of the Young Women's Christian Association defeating his Younger Set. Ah, when we dung defiance to Henry in verse in behalf of the dashing Captain Lillian Skinker of Washington, D C., and against the equally dashing Captain Eva Miller, who was dung court twice in her zeal to humble the charming Washingtonian.
Henry took us to school at the old Crescent and Nickolette and taught us those things which made it possible for us to remain the lone individual to carry on for such a long time without being forced to other evenues to gain a livelihood, and that last night which he spent until the early morning hours laying down the rules of the game before he stepped out to make way for us is one which many of his songs will serve to keep fresh in our memory as we try to play them over in the quiet Long Island nights. He was indeed fortunate when eleven years ago he married the charming wife he has left to mourn her loss, for being of natures akin she served to keep his mind fresh and to fill in that void which Henry must have felt when he realized that those with whom he had worked so happily and whom he knew best were passing to another world or to other scenes of endeavor removed from those which brought them all fame in the early days.
And so they all march onward in the street and music that gave us cheer in the past: Will Dixon, Scott Joplin, Will Tyers, James Reese Europe, Al Johns, Johnny Cash, Henry Creamer. We lived in their day and when the Grim Reaper beckons to us we will go with the satisfactions of having enjoyed their friendship.
Kirkpatrick Came in Harlem's Best Era.
When Robert Levy came to Harlem and decided to try something entirely different at the Lafayette Theatre, Sidney Kirkpatrick was among those pioneers who went into the drama and made the better class of Negroes in the community proud of their efforts. No name shown with

Walker, May of the City of New York, will recall the presence of Monsieur Theophile Salmine who, without saying a word, the audience into the laughter. When the United States Government sent a commission to the Republic of Haiti and induced President Borné to the resignation of government Monsieur Salmine, godson of the late Haitian President, Sylvain Salmine, decided to return to his country, where he felt he could be of service to his people with the assistance during his stay in the United States. Apparently, fate decreed otherwise, for the Victor Phonograph Company having heard of the abu Sayyid of Monterrey, and Creole and other songs of his country, decided to invade Haitian territory and induced Monsieur Salmine to return to America, where completed ten records for the company.
The ability of this Haitian on the stage is unquestioned. He was given an important part in the white ballet Paris. His picture in which some of the leading stars of the silver screen appeared and in which Monsleur Salain wore the uniform of a Senegalese officer. This was quite unusual in this country wherein Negroes are called upon to play a part they are only seen as porters and other menials, but the producer of 'The Battle of Paris' sought to bring attention to the importance of adhering to the principles of the French Republic, where her treatment of her colonialists of merit is concerned, showing in the picture two Negroes in one of the legions Theophile Salain. At the present time Monsleur Salain is uncertain as to just when he will return to his country, but like a true patriot he is determined to be a leader and he is Ouverture and like his grandfather who did his bit by taking up the work as laid down for him by an ancestor

"SWEET CHARIOT" OPENS
AT THE AMBASSADOR
At the Ambassador Theatre, on West Forty-ninth street, Michael Mindlin will present on Thursday evening his production of Robert the Raven. The play plays an interesting plot based upon an hypothetical case of what may have happened if Marcus Garvey had succeeded in his to lead the colored Africa.
Frank Wilson, who will be remembered for his excellent work in the Theatre Guild's production of "Forgy," plays the principal role in the play which includes Washington, Vilian Baber, Percy Verwayen, Harrison Blackburn, Billy Andrews and Alex Lovejoy. Mr. Wilson's work in the role of a breezy, self-assured business man in the first act, and a preacher in the second sequence is an excellent portrayal. A choral group of more than sixty voices are heard at intervals throughout the entire play. The Philadelphia papers were enthusiastic in praise of both the play and the players, producing a successful run on the stage.
Nicholas Yellanti has supplied 'Sweet
Charlotte' with six colorful settings, depicting Harvyn Rowson in York and his dog for Afrika, with other spotted dogs in Africa.

THE HARLEM SKETCH BOOK BY THEOPHILUS LEWIS
SALEM TUTT WHITNEY has been making faces at me for the last three weeks and I have been poking out my tongue at him. But we are not the only ones who are cutting up. The white boys and girls downtown are misbehaving, too. Ethel Barrymore, concerned to be the premier American actress, took advantage of an Associated Press interview to tell the world what she thinks of contemporary critics. Her opinion of critics is practically the same as Mr. Whitney's, only she expressed herself with a deal more acerbity than Mr. Whitney ever displays. I fancy he quoted her with no little satisfaction.
Insect Life.
WHEN the reporter asked Miss Barrymore how, in her opinion, the profession of acting compares with the profession of criticism she replied, "Mine is the highest and yours is the lowest." No doubt actors will eventuallyistically applaud this crack, but any intelligent mind would at a glance that it is more pat than true. As a matter of fact both actors and critics are among the lowest forms of life. Only with the highest powered microscopes can either of them be studied with any degree of accuracy. Examining them for purposes of comparison is like studying amoeba and polypus. Most of what one learns about them can be summed up in a sentence. Both are small and slimy.
Is Acting an Art?
I AM inclined to believe that if Miss Barrynge had asked herself the question she was asked by the reporter she would have used the word art instead of "profession." This assumption is supported by the general tone of her observations in the interview. Which brings up the highly debatable question of whether acting is an art or all. What does an actor do that justifies him in assuming the dignity of an artist? I am not talking about cheap hoofers and blues shouters now. I mean admittedly first rate performers like Walter Hampden. Alfred Lunt, Paul Robeson, Lional Atwill, Catherine Cornell, Helen Hayes and Miss Barrynge herself. When, for instance, Hampden gives his truly magnificent interpretation of Cyrano de Bergerac what does he provide that deserves to be mentioned in the same year with the work of Rostand who wrote the play? When Atwill gives his memorative performance of Julius Caesar in "Casarne and Coclitra" what has his work as an actor in common with Shaun's work as a dramatist? One might say that the actor intensifies the illusion of reality which the playwright was striving for in his manuscript. I reply that so do the artist and property. Would anybody argue that a painted flat is an artist because it intensifies the illusion of reality the playwright was striving for in his garden-in-the-moonlight scene? If the revolver, which makes the murder scene convincing is not an answer, why is the actor who fires it one? Are not both actor and revolver simply instruments in the hands of the dramatist who is seeking to produce a certain effect?
Rating the Book
THE POINT. I say, is debatable. But even if we concede that artistic skill it is absurd to call it the highest. And here the Sketch Book, with the proverbial recklessness of a fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread, presents its personal rating on its words itself. The highest art, as the Sketch Book itself, is music. I mean music from the view of the composer. It is the highest type of universal in its appeal and also the one that the highest type of individual to his highest peak of exaltation. It is the only art of which many of the masterpieces can move all grades of humanity, from the highest to the lowest, for instance. Schubert's Serenade, an exquisite peals equally to illiterates and philosophers. Rating music as the highest, art automatically makes Beethoven the world's greatest.
Next to music I place drama; again from the point of view of the creator, the playwright. Although it has often been called the most democratic of the arts, the drama is really an aristocratic art. It is relished by the vigorous-minded minority of individuals who are able to project themselves into an imaginary life and vividly live through its crises. This makes Shakespeare the second greatest artist of all time.
THIRD. I rate prose fiction. This is also an essentially aristocratic art. Like the drama, it calls for the ability to lose one's identity while living for a spell in an imaginary world. But its appeal is not so limited as that of the drama. The drama is the title of ascending crises; fiction is the art of slow developments. The drama is a skeletonized illusion of life and the reader or spectator must supply the missing elements of a full rounded picture. In fiction the artist draws the whole picture and the only thing required of the reader is the patience to wait on the co-ordination of the artist's strokes. Obviously, the mass of prose fiction is so great that I have not read anything like any considerable part of it. Nevertheless, I hazard a leader. I name Thomas Hardy as the third greatest artist of the world.
I GIVE fourth place to poetry. It is more democratic in its appeal than either the drama or fiction. Its appeal to the emotions is more direct than either of those arts and its demands on the imagination are less than those of any art except music. Here I also the most reckless leap of all. Shelley is my choice for the first poet of this old earth.
DANCING comes next, or fifth in the rating. I don't know much about dancing, but anyhow I put Bill Robinson at the head of the profession.
PAINTING is sixth and sculpture is seventh. I am profoundly ignorant of both. But I do like the portraits of Sir Joshua Reynolds better than the sculptures of Rodin.
The Seven Arts
I THINK there are supposed to be seven arts: Music, Literature, Drama, Poetry, Dancing, Painting and Sculpture. Looks like acting is sort of left out in the cold.
MR. ROBERT LITELL, dramatic critic of the World, complains that Negro musical shows are imitating Broadway revues instead of going direct to Negro sources for their humor and the motifs for their dancing. I wonder if Mr. Littell, being the bright young man that he is, would be willing to stand up and tell the earth just what it is that distinguishes Negro humor and dancing from white American humor and dancy. If he will, I am willing to give bucks that will make like a lot sweeter for Lew Levin and other people who filmed colored shows. I mean, of course I'll bet five bucks on the cuff.
The trouble with Mr. Littell, and that other white critics of the theatre is that he seems to think that every other Negro who manages to get himself born invents a new dance, one that is entirely original with him, but nevertheless saturated with the paganism of Africa. The fact that every other Negro who manages to get himself born is a product of several generations of Christianism but civilization and the victim of a Christian Babbit education in the thindergam and now everywhere between the first readers in the N.Y. school, he does never to enter the minds of the Robert Littells. Nor does it ever occur to the Robert Littells that American life, forced by the principle of protective coloration to imitate the life lived by white Americans as closely as possible, might inspire an art form that differs from the art forms reflecting American life in general no more than pink differs from cerulea a margin of difference, you say? I admit, yes. But the Robert Littells expect the art that flowers from Negro life and the art that reveals the fragrance of ofay life to be at least as far apart as black and white.
THIS puts the producer of a colored show in the crack. The most that can be expected of any race or nationality is the creation of a certain style of art. Years ago "Shuffle Along" and "Liza" introduced to Broadway a style of dancing in which the hips and hands played as conspicuous a part as the feet. Broadway borrowed the hip-hand-feet dancing which is now known as Beale Street. Now, when show like "Brown Buddles" follows the same style of chasing the Robert Littells say the show is imitating Broadway. The Robert Littells, if you ask me, are all wet.
Insect Life.
WHEN the reporter asked M. the profession of acting compare she replied, "Mine is the high doubt actors will enthusiastically intelligent mind will see at a glance a matter of fact both actors forms of life.

LESLIE'S "BLACKBIRDS" TO OPEN TONIGHT Frank Wilson Opens in "Sweet Chariot" Thurs. Night
A crowd of two thousand stormed Dunbar Palace Sunday afternoon to hear the battle of jazz between Fletcher Henderson and his Roseland Orchestra and so well done by the jazz chef, Fletcher. Fletcher was at his host and so well did he perform that the vast crowd seemed content to just listen.
After nine in the evening the crowd was so large the box office was closed and from then on more than four hundred disappointed Fletcher Henderson
he said to have been turned away.
There Was No Color Line in This Picture
THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE
WHEN THEY MADE "The Battle of Paris" the directors sought to create a picture as near the truth in every detail as possible. Gertrude Lawrence was the star, and in the right hand corner is seen Theophile Salnave, the Haitian actor, in the part of a Senegalese officer. He appeared in his part as an equal and not as a menial, which is usually the case when Negroes are given parts with white companies in pictures and the speaking stage.

NEARING THE
HOME STRETCH
With the coming of "Blackbirds" to the Royale Theatre Wednesday night the race for Broadway preference enters the home stretch with five or six shows demanding attention.
So far "Brown Buddies," "Hot Rythym," "Blackbirds," "Sweet Chariot," "Big Nigger," and the Miller and Lyle show still, to us anyway, unnamed, will all be hitting it up strong by November 15 unless some of the uncalled drop out before that time.
It is said that some of the performers have already withdrawn from one show as the ghost failed to do a shimmy down the aisle between performances. Throwing "The Green Pastures" into the melee Broadway should be fully cognizant of the demands of Nero performers.

"THEATRICAL NITES" SO BIG SAVOY CUT 'EM OUT
The management of the Savoy Bathroom, through Charles A. Buehman, the manager, informed a representative of The Amsterdam News last Saturday night that the so-called "Theatrical Nights" have been discontinued. These affairs did not turn out as it was hoped, as a number of the leading stars of the profession did not seem to relish the idea and not longer than last Saturday night, although stated to be very much among those present, was Bill Robinson, who up until one clock had not shown up.
The management has been concentrating the facts for the past few weeks of the event, in a full account of which will appear in these columns in the next issue.
"Blackbirds" to Open Wednesday
Some people resent the idea that Broadway should look anxiously to the coming of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" for the big opening at the Royale Theatre on Wednesday night, but it is only the kind of people who go out of their way to be unfair in the face of facts to which they should pay heed before forming an opinion. Lew Leslie has won an enviable reputation with his "Blackbirds" and for years he has met with unprecedented success. From his shows have

Dr. Rosamond Johnson Continues to Fix 'Em All Up
In the palmy days when Cole and Johnson and Williams and Walker were prominently in the eye of the American public there was a saying along Broadway that whenever a musical show opened and lagged in its securing of a hold on the playgoing public the wise ones would suggest sending for Doctors Cole and Johnson, and invariably they found the sore spot and made things right. Many a Broadway production owed its popularity to these versatile artist.
Bob Cole, of course, passed on, but our beloved Rosamond Johnson still gives life and sense to things artistic. The now "Blackbirds," which gives promise of being one of the best Leslie has yet produced, owes much to the rearranging and rewriting of its
ELKS VS. PYTHIANS
The Elks and Pythians are all prepared for the Band Contest and Dance to be held at The Rockland Palace on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 26, between O. V. Catto Elks' Band of Philadelphia and the Pythian Brigade Band. The contest will start at 4 p. m. It is expected to last two hours, after which the floor will be cleared and dancing will be in full swing from 6:30 p. m. until 2:30 a. m. The members and friends of both organizations are all ready to be on hand to cheer their respective units, and the latest news from the boys in Philadelphia indicate that a large number of their members and friends are all set to accompany them on Sunday. Both bands have been rehearsing for this event and a very interesting contest is anticipated. We should all make an effort to be on hand to cheer these men in their demonstration of one of the noble arts of science—Advt.

The inspirational music for "Sweet Charity," that strolling play that some reviewers think will equal if not exalt "lorgy," was arranged and directed by Mr. Johnson, and the principal song success in "Brown Buddies," the beautiful "Totty Lou," has lyrics by this most versatile artist.
Add to this the preparation and condition of the weekly radio features "Dixie Echoes" and one can readily realize that the wise ones were correct. Doctors Cole and Johnson did fix things, and Doctor Johnson is now fixing them better than ever before.

It's Dancing We Teach It"
fge Twelve
By CORA GARY ILLIDGE.
Hazel Harrison, distinguished pianist of Chicago, gave a splendid, and well played program at the Town Hall last Wednesday evening. This recital gave the downtown critics and concertgoers opportunity to hear and know better the results of Miss Harrison's achievements. And when she appears in town it is very likely to hear her play. The representative audience applauded enthusiastically and at the proper time.
The program lived up to the recitalist's standard of artistry. It was exacting in its demands and contained an interesting and pleasing variety of pure piano classics. These she played scholarly, disclosing serious and thorough musicianship while exhibiting digital fluency and technical agility. Miss Harrison is capable of producing clear, clear music, and even an admirable note, but on this program she was not exactly at her best in accuracy.
The program opened with the Bach-Silotti "Prelude in E Minor," followed by the a cappella with the played "Variations treated as an played" "Lystin, Chophris, Bach, Trüe." by Lizzt. Chophris

Punils Appeared
The piano pupils of Thelma Brunson appeared on Thursday evening in a well conducted recital at the Alhambra Ballroom.
Seldom does an audience in Harlem assemble on time, but on this occasion the seats were largely taken when the program began at 8 o'clock, and less than an hour later the house was filled with an enthusiastic audience. This was the sixth annual recital, and it is said that the previous ones have always been attended in this manner. It seems that Miss Brunson has a large and faithful following.
There were twenty pupils on program and as a whole they showed considerable talent and certainly good musical training.
Seven pupils of Irene Cheeseman, an advanced student of Miss Brunson, also gave credit to their teacher on this program.
The guest soloist, Penman Lovheng, tenor, sings with ease and sustains his tenons, which are of a beautiful quality. His is the type of voice that suggests tranquility. He uses mezzo-force for 1" "most part. Among his numbers were: LA Donna Mobile from *The Voice*; Coleridge-Taylor's "Eleanore"; Burleigh's "O My Love," and Rosamond Johnson's "Morning, Noon and Night." Aldama Jackson was a sympathetic piano accompanist.

Hayes' Recital to
Benefit Settlement
Roland Hayes' first Carnegie Hall recital of the season is scheduled for Wednesday. Nov. 12, and is for the benefit of the Hamilton House Settlement.
Hamilton House, at 72 Market street, is one of the early east side settlements, located among the poorest and the dingiest of the tenements that fringe the waterfront of the East River. Regardless of race, color or creed, it has for years served the shifting immigrant population in one of New York's meanest neighborhoods.
This year Hamilton House is finding an unusual demand for its services and is, therefore, making special efforts for an increased revenue.

University of the State of New York in Albany. He is said to have denounced the methods used to teach music in the normal schools by declaring that:
"More than one of our great normal schools will confer bachelor or master degrees upon music teachers who are in no respect competent musicians, who can neither play nor sing, who cannot properly conduct an orchestra or drill a chorus, who cannot retain the respect of any group of musical children.
"This situation and the state university's conception of a proper musical education are wrecking musical talent in our schools."
Dr. Erskine said that advanced educators today are insisting that students should be trained primarily as musicians and secondarily as specialists, being grounded in harmony as well as technique.
Clef Club Adds
Monarchs to Program
The Apex Musical Bureau, Inc., the business organization of the Cleft Club, announces the addition of the Monarch Band, under the direction of Lieut. Fred Simpson, to the Cleft Club's final audition, "Samples," at the Guild Theatre on Sunday night, Nov. 2.
Some of the artists who will appear on the program are William C. Elkins, director of the Dexter Male Chorus and arranger for the current tale, "Golden Dawn"; Carl White, musical director for Al Jolson's latest picture, "Big Boy"; Irving (Kid Sneeze) Williams and Olal Cooper, international favorites for the Salon Joe Grey Trio, Bill Eldon Charlie Wilson and Joe Breen; William Haston and his Versatile Trio; Peek-a-Boo Jimmie, sensational drummer, and his orchestra; James Hunt, Fred Jackson, Tom Bethel, Alonzo Henderson, Harry Haines and Luther Blake.
Soprano Pleases
According to a message from Olyne White Norman, coloratura soprano, and a clipping from "The Royal Gazette and Colonial Daily," a white newspaper of Hamilton, Bermuda, her recital given at the Colonial Opera House Tuesday evening, October 7, was well received.
The article stated that there had been "some years since such an excellent program has been heard in The Opera House, and it brought an evening's pleasure to many."
Although the criticism was made that her higher notes were now and then hard and rather formed due to faulty breathing, the summary of the article was: "There were points in her singing which were very delightful, moments of exceptional sweetness, and even in the operatic aris there were technical phrases excellently done."
The following program will be rendered by the Monarch Symphonic Band at the Girls' Junior High School, Edgecombe avenue and 135th street, Sunday at 3 o'clock.

Amos 'n' Andy will be heard, in addition to their regular nightly skilt, as guests of the Radio-Keith-Orpheum Program over at NBC-WEAP network PRIOR to 10:30. Duke Ellington and his famous Cotton Club Orchestra, who appeared in the sound picture, "Check and Double Check" with Amos 'n' Andy, will play several selections from this picture, both before and after the skilt.
It is always good insurance to keep spare tubes on hand. Tubes have an irritating way of going bad in the middle of a favorite symphony or just as the champion is knocked down for a count.
Engineers say that the life of a tube may be shortened by a run-down C battery.
Use of more than one speaker on a set causes little, if any, increase in current consumption.
Condensers Often Slip
If a receiver develops a tendency to bring in two or more stations together, it is possible that the receivers are slipped on their shafts. In completely shielded set this difficulty is not an easy one to remedy. Here again the service man should find it a simple solution to condenser and reset it in its proper condition.
The loss of quality without accompanying loss of volume may be caused by the receiver's handle speaker getting out of adjustment. There is no home remedy for this ill.
Remove Faulty Tubes
Tubes that suddenly develop a blue扎架 should be removed and new ones substituted. Sometimes, but infrequently, the fault lies in the power pack of the receiver. More often, the扎架 should be the by leakage of air into the tube.

CASES of disease of the middle ear
CASES of disease of the middle ear, and even of deafness, have been traced to decayed teeth and to the absorption of septic matter from around the roots of these teeth. In many of these cases of deafness a marked increase in hearing power was brought about by the correction of some septic mouth condition. There are few who haven't at some time or other, experienced an attack of that most obstinate of all nerve diseases. While neuralgia may originate from an injury that produces either poison or pressure enough to irritate a nerve, its most common cause is toxic irritation from tooth infection. The quickest and surest way to overcome it is to correct the source of irritation in some one or more of the teeth.
Almost invariably chronic headaches, or those forms of neuralgia affecting the side of the face and head—particularly over the temples—accompanied by tenderness in the eyeball, are found to be due to some condition originating in the teeth. And almost invariably they disappear like magic with the removal of the cause.

Hallux Valgus
PERFECT foot function depends upon the ability of the muscles and tendons to hold the bones in their proper position. If a set of muscles is continually overstretched, the opposing muscles in turn become atrophied or shrink, thereby bringing about a malformation. This condition naturally interferes with the work required of the foot. We may consider hallux valgus as appearing in three different forms, namely, the simple, advance and the severe type. The simple hallux valgus is merely a great toe that slightly turns outward with very little change in muscle balance and with very little effort can be pulled back into place, but assumes its outward position when released.
In the advanced type, there is a greater abduction of the toe, and it has in many cases a bursitis (bunion) on the inner side of the joint. The friction of the shoe may cause a mild enlargement of the metatarsal head. The tendons on the inner side of the toe are stretched with a corresponding contraction of the tendons on the outside. Considerable force is required to bring the toe back to its normal position and it immediately springs back into its abnormal position when released.
The severe type of hallux valgus often produces a crippled foot with many complications. The toe may form an angle of 90 degrees with its metatarsal bone, which is pushed inward. There is a partial or complete dislocation at this joint and the metatarsal head can be plainly felt through the skin. The toe either overlaps or lays under the second toe.
The long extensor tendon on the top that lifts it, and the one on the bottom, which gives the toe its grip on the ground when walking, will be found in the space between the first and second toe (due to its contracting ability) and pulls the tip of the toe back like a bow-string, accentuating the deformity. (To be continued).
Scout News

COW'S milk has been through all the ages the most indispensable single food of mankind. It not only contains the three essentials of all foods—starches, fats and proteins—but is rich in mineral matter and the very important growth promoting substance called vitamine.

Cow's Milk
Cow's milk today is one of the most outstanding commodities, as is evidenced by the fact that in the United States alone there are millions dairy farms and farmers, with the many millions of dairy cows, working as one great unit. The whole industry, estimated as involving some five billion dollars, is engaged in bringing to our door e morning fresh and pure milk cream.
The strict vigilance of the health authorities, improved methods of pasteurization, handling and distribution of milk have been the greatest hindrance to the purity of this important article of food. The dal farmer, delivering milk each morning to the receiving station, must see that it is cool not above a certain temperature, when it is delivered to the creamery, otherwise it will be rused.
Each day at the laboratories of the large city milk companies the product delivered by each farmer is tested to insure a low percentage of any fectable bacterial content. The milk is then passed on to the pasteurizing plant where, under controlled temperatures, milk is rendered free of bacteria, viruses, or vitamins are very little if at all, affected by pasteurization. The cooled pure product is bottled and ready for delivery.
Certified milk is a higher grade milk coming from dairy farms, which are more like scientific laboratories. The cows are specially inspected and cared for, with the result that the milk needs no pasteurization, due to the freshness of the milk. The continued experimentation this product justifies the importance we have attached to it as an ideal food. Drink more milk!

Off-Year Senatorial and Congressional Campaigns Now Drawing to a Close
Local Issues and Candidacies Expected to Determine the Way the Negro Vote Will Go—Little Money Spent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (ANP).—The off-year congressional and senatorial campaign has but a week to go. Whether the Republicans will lose their majority of 103 in the House of Representatives or gain enough Senate seats to offset the Democratic-Progressive combination in the upper legislative body, no one will know until the first Tuesday in November has passed.
A formal challenge has been issued to Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch of Ohio to debate Walter White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Columbus, on next Wednesday on the subject: "Resolved, that Roscoe McCulloch's vote to confirm Judge Parker as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court over the protest of colored people is ample ground for their opposition to his election to the United States Senate from Ohio." The challenge was issued by C. E. Dickinson, chairman of the Ohio conference of N. A. A. C. P. branches, and telegraphed to Senator McCulloch, with a request for prompt reply by telegraph. Phrases in a desperate effort to prevent the defeat of Senator McCulloch are said to be importing Negro "leaders" to bolster up the McCulloch campaign.
Among the "leaders" are reported to be W. C. Heuston, who since the defeat of Parker has been given a job by the Hoover Administration as assistant solicitor of the Post Office Department. Another of these "leaders" is reported to be the Rev. John G. Olden, exposed in the August Crisis as having written to Senator Allen of Kansas that "a vote for Judge Parker was a vote for the ultimate good of our people."
Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, principal of the Bethune-Cookman College at Daytona Beach, Fla., will address the St. Mark's Lyceum in the assembly room, 138th street and St Nicholas avenue, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The quartette from the school will also appear.
Mrs. Bethune was recently in conference with President Hoover and she will give a resume of the occasion.
The newspapers have been full of claims and counter-claims. The two national committees, Democratic and Republican, have issued reams of statements; the Democrats accuse the Republicans of wrecking democracy, while the Hospitals are trying to prove the oppression, the drought, the general hard times not their fault. They vary these onslaughts with a little tariff and World Court argument, none of which made much impression on the Negro voter.
There has been no outstanding Negro issue except the usual complaint of nothing having been done "for the race." Even unemployment and hard times rarely impress Negro voters as being a worthwhile political issue. They look on the politics not as America but as black ones in national issues that make much difference in the vote. Local organization, the popularity of individual candidates, and local conditions usually decide the day in an off-year election.
Neither of the parties has spent much money and neither has had any national headquarters organization among Negroes. Democratic activity though has been out of all proportion to the size of their treasury. The Democrats report having collected a total nationally of only $42,000. They have had Negro workers out plugging on the wet issue, however, for three months. Two of those in the West were women. The rumor is that Raskob is financing these efforts privately. Republican headquarters at Chicago had a messenger, while at Washington they are a dozen employees at the same capacity. That seems to be the extent to which the Negro has been used except for a few speaking engagements.
John R. Hawkins, who during the campaign two years ago was chairman of a voter's division, sought to revive that organization and presented a set-up to Robert Lucas, the young Kentuckian whom Postmaster General Valerie Brown selected as chairman of the executive committee of the Republican National Committee. Mr. Lucas is a nice, agreeable chap, evidently placed in his post to keep the public away from the real chairman, Senator Simone Fess of Parker fame. Mr. Lucas is an order taker, rather than an executive, however, and could only accession with a smile, promising to do what he could. Mr. Hawkins is still waiting.
1
Robert R. Church and Col. Roscoe Simmons are said to have put a similar proposition up to Congressman Will R. Wood, who as chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee had charge of the headquarters at Chicago. The plan which had been worked out by Mr. Simmons is said to have called for Mr. Church to serve as director of activities.
Congressman Wood pleaded lack of funds. Simmons could have some speaking engagements but even though he had no other national figures seem to have offered to assume activity.
So, nationally, the Negro has figured little. Locally in the doubtful states the situation is different. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois are three localities where the votes of Negroes will play an important part.
In Indiana and Ohio the state Republican organizations have developed Negro divisions. In Indiana no minor offices such as senator or governor are at stake, but the Republican organization is striving to retain power.
The Democrats have made some gains, winning the support of such a leader as F. B. Ransom, but by and large it looks as though the Negroes in the state will stay in the fold of the G. State tenure was made to link the Republicans in with the Marion lynching. The recent activity of the Republican attorney general in starting an investigation is expected to offset any efforts in that direction. Dr. Simner A. Furnis heads the Negro Republicans with Attorney Robert L. Bailey as chief spindler. Among the developments has been the proof that Judge William Hueston owes his appointment in the Post Office Department to Senator Jim Wooldin, whose district Gary is located. Senator Wasson has been taking the credit and bowing gracefully.
In Ohio the N. A. A. C. P. has been leading the effort to defeat the Parker-voting Republican. Senator McCullough. The Negro Republican leaders of the state kept very quiet when the national association first began its enslaughter. Many of them were perhaps secretly and personally in sympathy with the plan to depose McCullough, but they could not afford to show it.
As the campaign drew to a close, however, the regular organization cracked its whip and Bundy, Payne and Davis of Cleveland, Godman and Bryant of Columbus, Hall and Beauty of Cincinnati are found going down the line for the regular ticket. Union labor has McCullough marked also as a "yellow dog contract" advocate
and he will be lucky if he scrapes through.
Out in Illinois Mrs. McCormick would ordinarily get the solid Negro vote, because little campaigning has been done among Negroes by her rivals and colored people generally like her.
Word is going down the line that Mayor Thompson will give Mrs. McCormick the double cross, trading the senatorship to the Democrats for local offices to help his impending candidacy to succeed himself as mayor. If that is true she will lose the Second and Third ward support, because Mayor Thompson controls the lead in the race. Mr. Lewis in that case would get a good colored vote despite the fact that in a recent campaign he made a speech in which he said "America is a white man's country."
Oscar DePriest is up for re-election. His friends are watching narrowly the report that the Democrats aided by downtown business firms, who are not proud of their Negro representative, have raised a big fund to defuse him. In which DePriest is part of the Democrats district, where the Democrats control, their candidate for the State Senate was withdrawn, giving the white Republicans no special reason to fight to get out a large vote. That probably insures a total white vote for the Democrat.
DePriest is campaigning hard, however. Unlike two years ago when he made the race, he now has the solid backing of the Negro voters. His popularity has increased many fold since he took office.
In Pennsylvania the governorship fight holds the center of the stage. E. Washington Rhodes is in charge of Philadelphia, though the regular organization would like to ditch the former Bull Moose.
In Oklahoma, Republican Negroes are fighting to keep hill-billy "Affalfa Bill" Murray from becoming governor. A group of Negro Democrats are supporting him, although in the past he has stood for segregation, disfranchisement, and every other evil.
In North Carolina they are wondering whether the senatorial investigation committee will find any Democratic money spent with Negroes to secure the unusually heavy Negro vote cast in the recent Simmons defeat.
And so the off-year campaign moves on toward the polls, concerning itself chiefly with local issues and with the Negroes' interest and activity almost entirely local.

Letters to the Editor
MORTON OR KOENIG?
Non-Partisan Committee Chairman
Prefers Former.
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
Permit me to address you upon a
matter of paramount importance
to this community. The Amsterdam
News is a fine newspaper.
I read it regularly and admire it. It
is performing real service for
Harlem. But in this campaign for
Justice of the Municipal Court,
your paper has. It seems to me,
fallen far below its usual high
standard.
Before the campaign began, you
published an excellent editorial in
which you stated that The Amsterdam
News favored the candidacy
of the two best qualified candidates
for the office of Justice of the
Municipal Court. You later came
in support of the candidacy
of Messrs. Hawkins and Rivers
without explaining why you had
abandoned the position taken by
you in that editorial.
Editorially, in your issue of October 15, you urged the voters of Harlem to "keep Derrindar Morton off the bench." You took the position in that editorial that the election of Toney and Watson practically meant giving control of the Municipal Court to Commissioner Morton. Admitting the correctness of your assumption, is it correct that you should be the election of Messrs. Hawkins and Rivers means turning the court over to Samuel Koenig? Why should a colored newspaper favor control of Harlem's court by Koenig rather than Morton? What has Koenig ever done for the Negro that your paper should have so much confidence in him? On the other hand, has not Commissioners who more than anyone else, has caused to be given to the Negro in New York City political and civic equality?
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) ELMER A. CARTER.

Kraus Flays Gavagan for Not Battling Lynch Mobs
Mortimer Kraus, white, Republican candidate for Congress from the Twenty-first district, has flayed his opponent, Congressman Joseph A Gagasan, white Democrat, for not introducing an anti-lynching bill at the last session of the House of Representatives.
"A great body of American citizens, the Negroes, constituting a great percentage of the constituents of a Congressman from this district, are vitally and rightfully interested in the passage of such a law.
They are entitled to that same measure of justice and the right to be judged as such. They, too, in enormous numbers, are the war. They have received the rights of citizenship and one of those rights in that of a trial, which all too frequently is denied them, to the horror of right-thinking people."
O. Richard Reid Painting H. L. Mencken's Portrait
O. Richard Reid, young portrait painter, is executing a study of Henry L. Mencken, white, editor of the Mercury Magazine and former advocate of bachelorhood. Mr. Reid began work on the painting October 14 at the book studio of L. S. Alexander Gumby, 2144 Fifth avenue. Mr. Mencken will be pictured in a complete blue attire, seated, and with a clear in his mouth. The artist expects to complete the three-quarter painting in four settings. He will have Mr. Mencken before him again next Tuesday, Mr. Reid, who lives at 1900 Seventh avenue, has painted portraits of such celebrities as Henry Goddard Leach, Fannie Hurst, Frank Fay, and John Barrymore.
FALL FROM CHAIR AT
DANCE HURTS PATRON
One of those peculiar accidents which occur at infrequent intervals happened to Miss Anne Pinder, 28, 805 St. Nicholas avenue, early Friday morning at the Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue. Miss Pinder, who was attending the annual dance of the Four Leaf Clover Club at the Casino, accidentally fell from her chair in one of the boxes, taking her head against the floor. She was removed to the Vanderbilt Clinic, 165th street and Broadway, where she was in lacerations of the scalp and possible fractures of the skull by Dr. Knight. Miss Pinder remained at the clinic.

Lying By Republican Editor Scored By DuBois in Crisis
Lying By Republican Editor Scored By DuBois in Crisis
Deliberate lying by a Republican newspaper in Delaware, the Evening Journal of Wilmington, for political campaign purposes is charged by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis, in an editorial entitled "Hastings of Delaware," published in the November issue of The Crisis, out this week.
White Urges Re-election Of Lehman and Sen. Hofstadter
Republicans Get Scored as Democrats Ask for Support of Watson and Toney
Speakers at Non-Partisan Meeting Flay the G.O.P. Jim Crow Stands and Call for Election of Whole Tammany Ticket
The Grand Old Party was blamed for unemployment, chided for the nomination of Judge John J. Parker for the Supreme Court bench, and scored for sending the Negro Gold Star mothers to France on a segregated boat, when Democrats and non-partisan political womens held their first big public meeting of the campaign last Wednesday evening at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th street.
In his editorial Dr. DuBois states that he spoke at a mass meeting of 500 to 600 people in Wilmington and urged them to vote against Senator Hastings because Hastings had voted in the Senate to confirm Judge Parker's nomination to the Supreme Court and because Senator Hastings "had insulted his colored constituents by declaring in a public address before Senate that the Negroes did not have sense to know why they were opposing Parker." Dr. DuBois states that he urged independence in voting or a straight vote for Senator Bayard.
The following day, Dr. DuBois reports, the Wilmington Evening Journal carried the following headline: "DuBois Urges G. O. P. Support. Pays Tribute to Senator Hastings," and then misrepresented Dr. DuBois as follows: "He said the Negro had much to thank the Republican party, for she is emancipation and that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were placed upon the statute books by their friend, and

To the Editor of The Amsterdam News, Sr.
Will you grant me space to lay before the readers of The Amsterdam News facts regarding two friends of the Negro who are candidates for election November 4? The first of these is Leitenant-George C. P. succeeding the late Louis Marshall. Prior to and since becoming a director of the N. A. A. C. P. succeeding the late Louis Marshall. Prior to and since becoming a director of the N. A. A. C. P. Lieutenant-Governor Lehman has been a loyal, uncompromising and generous friend of the Negro. Never has he been asked by the N. A. A. C. P. to perform any service but that he has promptly and loyalty complied with those requests. It is my imminent desire that I am intimate acquaintance with Mr. Lehman, that we have no better friend in public life than he.
The other person of whom I wish to speak is Senator Samuel Hofstader, candidate for re-election to the State Senate from the Seventeenth Senatorial district, which embraces the Tenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth Assembly districts. Senator Hofstader introduced in the Senate the Tenth Judges in the Assembly, the Municipal Court bill creating the Tenth Municipal Court district in Harlem. As the result of the passage of this

campaign last Wednesday evening
132 West 138th street.
The meeting was held under the auspices of the non-partisan committee for the election of Charles E Toney and James S. Watson, Democrats, to the Municipal Court bench from the Tenth district. With full preparation made for a busy flow, speakers denounced the Republicans before the audience of 2,000, who hundred listened outside the church where amplifiers were installed on a truck. Street lights in the block had been changed to yellow, and two huge spotlights brightened the scene before the church. Mr. Toney declared the municipal bench demands a man not only trained in the intricacies of the law, but one able to give fair guidance of the race of the litigants. The justices elected in the Tenth district in Harlem will serve in other courts, the courts will be filled with whites, he said, and the judges will also have the task of being ambassadors for their race.
See Post as his wife, Mr. Watson, a special assistant to counsel, offered his long practice and interest in the needs of Harlem as evidence of his fitness for election. He helped the election of two Negroes to the bench will be the greatest inspiration to the youth of New York in genera-

District Attorney Thomas C. T. Grain spoke in behalf of the judicial candidates and of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. He refused to assail

that the Republican party should be supported 100 per cent." Dr. DuBois comments as follows upon this piece of editorial mendacity: "As a straight piece of contemptible lying by a paper, a party and a candidate, this is the most outrageous that I have had the misfortune to see. This is a characteristic effort on the part of a set unusually cheap politicians. They are counting on the presumable success of the progress of Delaware. They are prosperous to buy up these votes, not simply by the Coage appointment, but by the actual use of money.
"Hastings, himself, is a former Democrat from Maryland, who came to Delaware under the notorious Addicks regime. If Delaware is ever going to regain the respect of decent people, Hastings should be with me from the office; and if Delaware Negroes have a job of independence and self-respect left, they should vote to defeat Hastings, not simply because of his vote on Parker, but because of lying tactics, like this which we have noted above."
Re-election of Sen. Hofstadter
measure there will be two Negro Municipal Judges in New York after November 1964. Hofstadter and Rivers co-operated cordially and thoroughly in promoting the passage of the bill.
As is well known, a similar measure had, upon various occasions, been vetoed. Senator Hofstadter was desirous that Assemblyman Rivers should have the honor of having the bill carry his name. For that reason he waited for the bill to pass the Assembly and go over to the Senate. When this occurred Senator Hofstadter succeeded in having the Assembly bill—namely, the Rivers Bill—passed. I know, as a matter of personal knowledge, which Mr. Rivers, among others, has confirmed, that a considerable part of the credit for passage of the bill belongs to Senator Hofstadter.
May I express the hope that Negro voters may show their gratitude to Lieutenant-Governor Lehman, Democrat, and Senator Hofstadter, Republican, at the November election, not only to punish our enemies but also to reward with our support those who have proved themselves to be our friends.

Charles H. Tuttle, Republican foe of Roosevelt, but simply stated that the governor is better ritted to serve because of his long record in public office and his interest in the people's problems.
Congressman Joseph A. Gavagan, candidate for re-election from the Twenty-first district, assailed the G.O.P. for failing to live up to its platform promises. He described Tuttle as a weed and dry candidate who changes his views to meet the section in which he is speaking.
Heckled by members of the audience who asked about the placing of Negro visitors to the 1928 Democratic convention in Houston, Texas, Mr. Gavagan declared he had no brief for citizen which refuses to give all its citizen treatment. The congressman cited the nomination of two Harlem youths to the nation at the United States Naval Academy, and said he would do as much in the future if the opportunity presented itself.
Morton Asks Tammany Aid.
Ferdinand Q. Morton, civil service commissioner, made a short address in which he said the Democratic party does not give the Negro equality because of the hope for votes, but because it sincerely desires to do what is right. Every constructive concession to the Negro in municipal politics here has been the gift of Tammany Hall, he said. This attitude warrants the vote of every man who is appreciative of fair treatment, he said.
Other speakers who asked for consideration of themselves at the polls in November were James E. Stephens.

Other speakers scheduled, according to Samuel Westerfield, president of the lyceum, are Charles W. B. Mitchell and Col. Charles W. Fillmore, Harlem Republican leaders; Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers and Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, candidates for justices of the Tenth Disp. Municipal Court; Myles A. Paige, candidate for Assemblyman and Arthur A. Madison, president of the Harlem Lawyers' Association. Richard B. Harrison of "The Green Pastures" company will offer a reading, and Daniel L. Haynes of the same company will sing.
Hubert T. Delany, assistant United States district attorney, will preside.
Crosswaith Endorsed by League of Independents
The League for Independent Political Action issued its endorsement Monday of Frank Crosswalt, candidate for Congress on the Socialist ticket in the Twenty-first district of Manhattan. A statement issued by Howard Y. Williams, white, executive secretary of the league, declares that the league, although not a Socialist organization, is "trying to a group of eight city Congresses in order to give national stimulus to a new political alignment."
The statement, in part, follows: "Frank R. Crosswalt has a record of unselfish devotion to the cause of voters, both Negro and white. He has for years been the only Negro to sit as a delegate to the Central Trades and Labor Council in this city. He organized the Trade Union League, and the birth of the Pullman Porters Union threw himself into the fight of that, organization."
A typical representative of the new Negro, Mr. Crosswash will represent his race in Congress on matters that vitally affect its welfare, without forgetting the larger economic and social problems that must be faced by workers of hand and brain regardless of color."

Color and Careful Execution Feature Artist's Work on Exhibit at Library
Edward J. Brandford Reveals Marked Ability and Beautifully Depicts Themes, However Insignificant They Happen to Be
The art lover will be particularly delighted with the exhibition of paintings and drawings of Edward J. Brandon now on display on the main floor of the 135th street branch of the New York Public Library, 103 West 135th street.
The exhibition, which includes work in oils, water colors and pen-and-ink drawings, will continue until October 31, and may be seen daily by visitors to the main reading room of the library between 9 a. m. and 9 p. m.
At a first glance, one is struck by the vivid coloring which the artist has used in the execution of the dance. The brush is cloomy color tones too often seen in the work of other artists. Mr. Brandon's work with its brilliant coloring shows definitely the influence of the modern French school of painters.
The water colors included in the exhibition. These include an illustration of Countie Cullen's poem, "Now turne"; "Sketch of a Nude," "My Studio Window"; "Still Life," "A Harlem Backyard" and "Broken Toys." Of these, the last two mark the artist as having a keen sense of the beautiful in whatever he sets his hand to, no matter how insignificant or trivial the theme.
The exhibit also includes four pen-and-ink drawings: a cover design for Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner," a
His portrait studies, "Mother and Child" and "Young Man Smoking a cigarette," are the two largest pieces in the exhibit and are excellent examples of Mr. Brandford's ability to combine vividness of color with vitality of subject to produce a result which is both pleasing and artistic. The latter shows a youth, comfortable and well-behaved, in a study table, the light from an old-fashioned oil lamp falling upon his thoughtful face. The lights and shadows in this picture are skilfully executed.
Color is also the dominant note in
Delany to Support Kraus for Office
1929 Candidate for Post in Congress Flays J. A. Gayagan
Hubert T. Delany, assistant United States district attorney, and candidate for congressman of the Twenty-first district last year, has announced he will support the candidacy of Mortimer Kreis, white Republican from the same district in November.
When told that Congressman Joseph A. Gavagan had charged him with raising the race issue in the last campaign, Mr. Delany said:
"I absolutely deny that I raised the race issue when I was a candidate. I oppose my merits. If you will remember, there was circulated in the white section of the district circulations attacking me because of my race. The Federal authorities are still investigating to find out who sent these circulations through the mails. Moreover, Mr. Gavagan's managers permitted white children to be in black streets in certain sections of the district electorating for him.
"I endorse Mortimer Kruus, the Republican candidate. He has been secretary to former Justice Gustave Hartman and has lived among us, knows our problems and aspirations. If elected, he would give Harlem ten years to re-evaluate than Mr. Gavagan is now giving. "I know that Mr. Gavagan is pointing to his selection of two colored boys as candidates for the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis as the reason why we should re-elect him. Mr. Gavagan knew all the time that these boys would not be appointed and this was merely a gesture. Why did not he speak out against the segregation of Negro Gold Star mothers? Why didn't he appoint a Harlem boy to West Point? How does he stand on reapportionment?"
Minister Deplores Force By Tenants in Evictions
Tenants evicted for non-payment of rent should never use force to regain possession of their quarters, and Communists who forcibly return furniture are contributing to the lawlessness of the nation, it was agreed at a forum Sunday evening at the Hubert Harrison Memorial Church, 149 West 136th street. The general discussion and the address by the pastor, the Rev. Ethaley, was prompted by a recent disturbance at 128th street and Seventh avenue, where an evicted woman had her furniture returned to the house by Communist sympathizers. The minister, who is a Socialist, said he received a letter from the tenant asking him to approve the radical's action, which was punished with jail sentences. Landlords are often the victims of circumstances as well as the tenants, the minister said. He and his audience urged recourse to the law and new legislation.

KINGSTON, N. Y. Oct. 20 - The new Franklin Street African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Rev. E. O. Clark, pastor, which has been under construction for three years, will be dedicated this Sunday.
Fire destroyed the old frame structure and in its place has been erected a brick building which will house the congregation. The dedication exercises will open a three weeks' program of activities with important programs each evening for the three weeks period.
The largest gift toward the new edifice was secured by Philip Eling. It was the gift of $3,000 secured by him from Thomas Cochrane of New York, which made it possible to complete the new building.

COLLE, William. So - In loving memory of our beloved husband and father, who departed this life Oct. 7, 1929. One year has passed, dear husband, since you were called away; How well do we remember that sad and weary day. We think of silence, no eyes on us, no face.
But many a silent heart we shed when others are asked.
Never shall you be forgotten.
Never from our memory fade.
A living heart shall always finger
Around the grave where you are inlal.

Liberia Freedmen Maintain Slavery

ployed for private purposes on privately owned plantations has also been impressed for this service on the authority of high government of
Firestone Absolved
There is no evidence that the Firestone Plantations Company consciously employs any but voluntary labor on its leased rubber plantations; but this, however, was not found always the case when recruiting was subject to government regulation, over which the company had little control. It now appears, however, that all of the company's laborers are free to terminate their employment, at will.
Vice-President Yancy is one of the high officials to be scored in the study. He, as well as county superintendents and district commissioners, are said to have given their sanction for the compulsory recruiting of labor for road construction, for shipment abroad and other work, by the aid and assistance of the Liberian Frontier Force, and have condoned the use of the bodies of physical compulsion on road construction, for the intimidation of villagers, for the humiliation and degradation of chiefs, for the imprisonment of inhabitants, and for the conveying of ranges of captured natives to the coast, there guarding them till the time of shipment.
Abandonment of the policy of the "Closed Door", extension of education to all alike, and the abandonment of the policy of suppressing the aboriginal people are among the recommendations the commission will make. Humiliation and degradation of the chiefs and the restoration of their tribal authority of chiefs will also be among the suggestions to be made. The commission saw an urgent need for the reorganization of the interior administration by removing the present five district commissioners and replacing them by a higher grade of officials. These would be assisted by assistant commissioners, who might be selected from the republic or from America. It is thought that the senior commissioners should be either European or American, selected by some form of civil service examination.
Rearrangement of the political divisions of the country was also favored. This would be brought about by incorporating the five hinterland districts with the nearby coastal county, so as to cause each of the county's provincial provinces from the coast to the limit of the hinterland and their administration be corporated with that of the senior commissioner, who would be responsible only to the President. Domestic Slavery Hit. As a preliminary to total abolition, pawning and domestic slavery would be made illegal and the shipment of laborers to Fernando Poo stopped. The Frontier Force scored in the report is supposed to be used "in keeping roads open to trade and travel, and in enforcing such laws and regulations as are or that may beaster be passed, relative to the
aboriginal population and in laying out a road from the in-
terior to the interior. The commission believes that this form should be brought under stricter control. American immigration should be encouraged, the investigators found.

He replaces Henry H. Ham, former deputy. James Davis has been appointed special deputy. On Williams will hear the comment that will have on the Brooklyn Lodge's board. R. A.

The first concert will be given in November.
White Elks in Trouble; Would Affiliate With Blacks
BOSTON, Oct. 20 (ANP)—The Boston Lodge of Elks, white, would consolidate with the Commonwealth Lodge, colored, of the same fraternity. Such a step was proposed by George W. Jefferson, member of the latter, who, in a series of articles in the Boston Review, a weekly publication known to be outspoken on political and civic matters, writes that some score or more white Elks have expressed a desire to join the colored Elks.
According to Mr. Jefferson, white Elkdom in Boston is in a bad way. The charter of the Boston Lodge has been revoked. The order has been elected from its new million-dollar shrine, known as the Elks' Hotel, and as a result of certain members of the order running afoul the Volstead law, the place was pennocked by Federal agents.

Whites to Oppose G. O. P. For Protecting Negroes
Residents of the Highlands section of White Plains may withdraw their support from the Republican party in the coming election because the city administration defended the homes of two non-white professional men who moved into their community last spring.
The two men, Drs. Errold D. Collymore and A. M. Williams are still living in the section. Samuel R. Morsell, former secretary of the Negro branch Y. M. C. A. at White Plains, lived in the home of Dr. Collymore and created consternation in the assessee when he refused to move and to urge Dr. Collymore to give up his home.
The Republican administration gave the men all the protection of the law. Mass meetings for rolling up sentiment against the G. O. P. are being held nightly.

Sees Way Open for New Hospital Here
Dr. Frank Billings Says Leaders Could Get Modern Plant
Harlem medical men can secure a first-class hospital equal to the $2,000,000.00 Hospital for Chicago's south side if the New York community gets the proper leadership, declared Dr. Frank Billings, white, professor emeritus of the University of Chicago, here Monday before the North Harlem Medical Society at the Association of Trade and Commerce. Dr. Billings, who is a former president of the American Medical Association and the campaign chairman for Provident Hospital in Chicago, declared that Negroes in New York need a modern hospital of their own to gain the medical training and care for the sick which is denied them in many institutions. The physician and nurse was successful first interested philanthropists in the need for such an institution to supervise the standards and maintenance of the hospital.
One group of philanthropists was asked to give money to Chicago University for its program, while another was asked to help raise an endowment for Provident. The people then started a drive, which netted $1,300,000. One million was set aside to defray costs. Harlem can have a community hospital of the same character if medical men and civic leaders will approach the universities in the proper manner, he said.
Dr. Billings criticized the extremes of specialization in medicine, and said patients find it hard to get a complete experience by one physical cause.
Dr. Peter Marshall Murray presided at the meeting. Thirty doctors heard the lecture, which was the first of a series for Monday afternoons.
Radicals Get Beatings at City Hall Demonstration
When six delegates, three of them white, representing the unemployed, appeared at City Hall on Thursday to present a plea for the 800,000 unemployed of New York to the Board of Estimate, the delegation was set upon by the police and brutally beaten, two of them seriously, by the police and Maude White, both members of the delegation, were beaten by the officers seeking to prevent the demonstration. Nessin is confined to Bellevue Hospital as a result of his injuries. Miss White was kicked down the City Hall steps and is also in a serious condition. Sam Brown, member of the American Negro Labor Congress, was clubbed when he grabbed the reins of a horse and an effort to prevent women and children in the crowd be trapped.
Herbert Newton, national organizer for the American Negro Labor Congress, and one of six defendants facing sentence of death in Atlanta for labor activities, was one of the speakers at the demonstration and would have been beaten by the police if a crowd of the unemployed had not put themselves between him and the police.

Literary Folk Awaiting Gumby's Book Quarterly
New York literary circles are awaiting the appearance of the first issue of Gumby's Book Studio Quarterly, which is secluded to come from the press November 1. L. S. Alexander Gumby, director of the Gumby at 2144 Fifth avenue, is the publisher.
The magazine, edited by Theodore Hernandez, numbers among its contributors many of the younger writers of New York City. It is believed that the Quarterly will do for this group of writers what The Quill has done for a similar group in Boston, that is, serve as a medium for the expression of their efforts, as well as mold them into a forceful body which must be considered when the literary life of New York is mentioned.
Contributors include George Schuyler of Boston; Nell Occomy; Richard Brun, Kael Brun; Theodore Hernandez and T. Thomas Fletcher. Short stories, poems and feature articles on a variety of subjects are included in the initial issue of the magazine.

Expect Baptists to Fight Over Dismissal of Leaders
MONTCLAIR, N. J., Oct. 20 (ANP)
-Ousting of Dr. S. N. Vass of Philadelphia and Prof. J. D. Greenshaw of Nashville from their positions with the National Baptist Convention during the closing days of the Golden Jubilee at Chicago was the subject of sharp criticism at the recent annual convention of the Afro-American Baptist Convention of New Jersey, held here.
The Rev. J. C. Jackson, president of the New England Baptist Convention, declared that the custing of the men at the funeral was done was an unwise move and a violation to do more harm than good. He also reported to have criticised statements seen in newspapers in which claims were made that there was no disorder at the Golden Jubilee.
Wife of Cain.
All that is known of the wife of Cain is that contained in Genesis 4:16 and 17. Since the Bible does not state, no one knows from where she came. There are various theories, one being that she was Cain's sister; while beginning with her work of Creation, while beginning with her own Eve, did not end with them, but that a wife was created for Cain.

Haiti's Principal Presidential Aspirants Strongly Opposed to U.S. Interference
Seymour Pradel and Stenio Vincent Elected to Senate on Platform Committed to Withdrawal of All Americans
Haiti placefully moved closer to the election of a brand new president of its own choosing last Tuesday when 200,000 citizens went to the polls and voted into office the members of the lower and upper houses of Congress.

Thus for the first time since Snedley Butler of the marines is said to have invaded the Haitian legislative chamber in 1917, brandished his pistol and exclaimed, "Get the h—1 out of here!" The Haitians have a governing body chosen with a modicum of outside influence.
From among its members will be elected the president of the Republic, a man to occupy the position now held by Eugene Roy. Roy was selected, under the guidance of the United States, after Haitians had arisen against the "under cover" favor shown to Americans by President Louis Borno. Prior to the election of a Congress the three principal candidates for the presidency were: Constantin Mayard, Seymour Drastin, and Stenio Vincent. Mayard is forty-eight and black. He is a planner and owns a large farm outside Port-au-Prince. He has been a cabinet member and also a member of Congress. His early political training was as private secretary to President Nord Alexis, 1903 to 1909. He believes in gradual withdrawal of the Americans by 1936. Vincent and Pradel are both mulattoes with distinguished backgrounds. Both of them promised the voters to kick the United States out of Haiti as soon as either should be elected.
No one in Haiti will question Mayard's love of his country or his great talent. He is worshipped as a great man. The people love him because they believe he loves them. But there is too much kindness in his nature. In Tuesday's election, Mayard was lost in the shuffle. He was not elected to Congress and, as a consequence, was eliminated as a presidential candidate. The choice will lie between Vincent and Pradel. Of course, neither Vincent nor

Pradel will be able to force the United States out of Haiti before the United States wants to go. But each will make much noise and probably spoil the chances for some form of cooperation between the two countries of which Haiti stands very much in need.
In spite of the Monroe Doctrine, Haiti has her eyes turned toward France. The United States may not wish to own Haiti, but she is determined that Haiti shall either take care of herself, or that if any helping is to be done, the United States shall do that. France has not got a chance. The Haitians must soon learn that they must take advantage of the United States, using that advantage as a factor in a progressive policy.
Couple Held After Police Raid Home
Complaint Declares White Girl Was Kept in House by Force
Charged with abducting and forcibly withholding a 17-year-old white girl, James Green, 35, and his wife, Mrs. Myrtle Donovon Green, 375 West 127th street, were held in bail of 5-600 for a hearing next Monday when arraigned Monday in Heights Court. Green, who is the chauffeur for John J. McGraw, recently convicted of excessive charging for bail bonds, was arrested in his home Saturday by detectives of the West 152d street station. The police found a white girl, Irene Kessler, 763 Fox street, Bronx, in the apartment. The officers made out a complaint charging that she was kept in the house for four months and made to submit to immoral practices. Green, in a statement to the press, said the girl was a dancer in a 125th street ballroom and preferred to stay with him and his wife in preference to her family. He declared she often went out and apparently enjoyed herself at Harlem functions.

Tuskegee Academic Head Drops Dead
Tuskegee Academic Head Drops Dead
Prof. Roberts Harkened Back to Days of Founder
TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Oct. 20 (ANP) - Prof. C. Roberts, director of the Academic Department at Tuskegee Institute, in apparent good health, suddenly dropped dead in the street Friday afternoon.
Prof. Roberts, essentially one of the old guard of the early Booker Washington clan, came to Tuskegee as a spectator observing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the institute. So impressed was he with the potentialities of Mr. Washington's scheme of things that he wrote Mr. Washington his impressions from his home, then Kokomo, Ind.
The letter opened negotiations which resulted in Mr. Roberts being chosen as a teacher at Tuskegee, which work he began in 1906. In 1915 the executive council elected Mr. Roberts director of the Academic Department, which position he had filled ever since.
Mr. Roberts was born in Kokomo, where he attended the public schools, later graduating from Butler College in Indianapolis, Ind. He married Miss Amelia Cromwell of Syracuse, N. Y., in 1910 at Tuskegee Institute, and leaves to mourn their loss his wife, a daughter, Katherine, who is a student at Talladega College. His father, Flavious Roberts, and a sister, Mrs. Emma S. Swett, both of Kokomo, and P. H. Roney, property custodian at the U. S. Veterans' Hospital, Tuskegee, Ala., also mourn his loss. Funeral services were held at Tuskegee Institute yesterday.
EXPECT BISHOP BARROW TO WIN MARITAL TRUCE

Mrs. Barrow asserts that Barrow is contemplating a trip to the Holy Land and has made no provision for his family during his absence. The Barrows were in court one year ago on a similar charge of non-support brought by Mrs. Barrow.

Among them were: Judson Jones, 25, 475 West 129th street; William Coldwell, 29, 21 West 135th street; Fred Jackson, 28, no home; Edward Jackson, 18, no home; Steendwell Horton, 31, 5074 Lexington avenue; and Willie Jones, 32, 146 West 137th street.
They were arrested by Special Officers Willie Gallagher and G. M. Poley of the I. R. T. At the time of their arrest the men were asleep, many of them with their shoes removed and their feet wrapped in newspapers.

Views Social Work As Part of Church
Robinson Asserts Jesus Manifests Self in Modern Program
Many persons who are members of churches have never felt the touch of Christ, the Rev. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, declared Sunday morning in a sermon delivered at the church, 138th street and St. Nicholas avenue. To really get in touch with Christ, Dr. Robinson explained, one must work with the various agencies of social service, community and welfare work which are direct outgrowths of the modern church and a definite part of its program, he said.
Christianity will stand the test of the world, for God as the creator of the world is therefore the master of all its scientific secrets, Bishop R. C. Lawson, pastor of the Refuge Church of Christ, 56 West 133d street, told his assembled congregation in his sermon at the church on Sunday morning.
"The New Birth" was the subject of a sermon delivered on Sunday morning by the Rev. Noah W. Clark, pastor of the Williams Institutional C. M. E. Church, at the church, 218 West 130th street, in which the necessity for rebirth was emphasized by Dr. Clark. If Jesus was "lifted up," that is given new birth, how much more is it necessary that we be born again spiritually, Dr. Clark said. A delegation of 150 members from the Mt. Olive Progressive Church of Baltimore attended the morning service. A special musical program was given by the Mt. Olive Chorus at the church on Sunday afternoon.
Sunday was Communion Day at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. Abner Brown is supply pastor. Fifteen persons joined the church during the morning and evening services. While Dr. Brown addressed the Junior Church in the basement Sunday morning, the Rev. J. B. Boddie of New Rochelle was the guest pastor in the main auditorium of the church. Both speakers addressed capacity audiences.

Defeated Hebrews Sunday Night in Preparation for Brooklyn Pros.
In a try-out game against the formidable team of the Young Men's Hebrew Association on 92d street last Sunday night, the young ball players in the youth ball champions, took to the court like ducks taking to water and hung the season's first defeat on the white boys. An enthusiastic audience that saw the redoubtable "Fat" Jenkins, fresh from the baseball diamond, starring for the great champions, Jenkins rung up the ball game which ended 38-24 in favor of the Harlem players.
If we are to accept this as one of those coming events which cast their shadows upon the game to one of its most sensational games this coming Sunday night at the Renalissance Casino, despite the fact that it is so early in the season that the national aggregation of basketball players that would have made the Original Celtics put forth their best to win; but fortunately, Jumbo Doyles has been putting his men through an intensive period of training which was evidenced last Sunday night when his team did not even win. And so the best white outfits coached by the basketball world's far-famed luminary, Nat Holman.

Gonzales, to touted to the skates before the bolt, proved a flop in his lower left hand and offered no opposition. Tannyhill proved much too clever for Chico. The colored scraper fought a beautiful light winning with plenty of power, and Chico and Gonzalez were won by Tannyhill. Tannyhill showed little respect for Gonzales' highly vaulted wallop and commenced to belabor his foe in the opening and Chico's easy target in the first stanza. The second round also saw Chico on the receiving end. Gonzales stepped out of his lethargy in the third and sent his ball heads with straight rights to the head. Tannyhill took the upper hand again in the fourth and from then on, Gonzales added to outboxing his opponent. Tannyhill outfought Chico in every exchange. Gonzales tried hard to land a haymaker, but Tannyhill was wise in using out of reach of producer producers.
Gonzales carried a three-pound weight edge on Tannyhill, but the team was unable to do all his fighting at long range, never giving Chico a chance to use his advantage. Tannyhill came in at 133 for Gonzales, as compared to 133 for Gonzales.

HAMPTON WILL STRIVE HARD TO REGAIN LOST LAURELS
Hampton Institute of Virginia, Intercollegiate A. A. football champions of 1946. 1948. 1949. In this title when it opposes Lincoln University of Pennsylvania at the Yankee Stadium in New York Saturday (Nov. 1). These two teams were quite a concourse of people last year and a larger crowd is expected to see them in their coming clash at the Stadium. The last year, Hampton is the favorite, but the Virginia collegians are determined that there shall be no upset as there was at the Polo Grounds when the game was played, which doomed Hampton's hopes for a fourth consecutive C. I. A. A. title. For one thing, Hampton will have available eight of the Lincoln—up to a pair of Lions last season, while Lincoln has been harder hit by graduation and injuries this fall. The two leading eleven—the Lions and the Lions of Lincoln—up a brand of football which completely won over their first New York audience, and in all their early work this season the bit New York has been their collective.
Hampton has put together a fast and veteran backfield quartet composed of Chubby "Five-yard," Jones at fullback, and Ted Briggs and Beau "Guess" at halves. Briggs, the newcomer to the backfield, including punter, and is expected to outkick any Lincoln representatives, just as "Big Jim" Anderson of the Lions outshone the sixy-yard boots boomed down the sidron to save Lincoln time and again. Addition Hampton has a veteran line, which includes three who were honored with All-C. L. A. A. rating. Lincoln has been unfortunate in losing Anderson and the sixy-yard boots material, particularly at quartzback, where Coach Taylor has eleven candidates to direct his team against Hampton. He has been slow in developing his squad, because he wants them to be at the height of their form against Hampton, and he must expect to score another touchdown. The colored population of New

York City and vicinity is preparing for this second appearance of Hampton and Lincoln with even more enthusiasm than last season. In more a big college football game, it was more the crowd, but the spectacle remains vivid in their minds and the Hampton-Lincoln contest has been uppermost in their thoughts ever since the season opened. The organizations throughout the city and suburbs have been buying blocks of tickets for the game in greater numbers than last season. The orders have been coming in from all the Long Island towns from Jersey City to New York, and foko who will have their only opportunity to see teams of their own race in action.

Jim Keenan's Warriors Not Scared at Opposition in Their Last Game
After the most successful season ever enjoyed by the club during its long diamond career, the Lincoln Giants heeder against another collection of barnstorming major league ball players at Catholic Protective Oval next Sunday afternoon. This will be the third consecutive week in which players from the Lincoln, and thus far not an effort has been successful in four tries. Naturally enough, the Keenammen are going to do their best to make a clean sweep of it in order to end their season in the playoffs. opposition has gathered a mighty aggregation of ball tossers to oppose the Lincolnns. Topping the list will be Roy Sherid, of the Yankees, and Freddy Hamm, a twirler for the Ruppert Rides and now a member of the Brooklyn
Sherid pitched against the Lincoln last Sunday in the first game of the twin bill game against Beckwitt a homer in the ninth inning. So incensed was the big leaguer, who made the trip specially from the defeat, he promptly asked for another shot at them, and will be accommodated. Al Spohn, who pitched at Boston Braves, will be the catcher of the bat, with Jimmy Cardin, star catcher of the St. Louis Cardinis, playing first base, Bill Hunnelfe, of Cleveland, left lesky, of the Boston Celtics, to close representation, while Dick Chambers, who pitched several five games against the Chicago the year, will be the catcher of the Cincinnati Reds, the prophet of the Cincinnati Reds. He has been sold to Philadelphia, will try to duplicate his performance of a week when he got four doubles in
five times.
Having won four games out of four from stellar troupes of barnstormers, Jim Keenan's warriors aren't the big bifrightened and are confident they'll take two more to close out the season in glorious style.

WILBERFORCE SPIRIT CRUSHED BY THE FISK BULLDOGS, 12-6
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The fighting hearts of the Fisk bulldogs went on parade as the spirits of the Wilberforce maulers were crushed beneath a 22-storm afternoon at 2:30 a.m. before a colorful crowd that travelled from far and near.
Three times the rushing and plunging of Thornhill and Wilberforce were the Ohioans' attack brought the ball within three yards of scoring but the bulldogs held with all the teammates. The Wilberforce backs paced up and down the field like wildcats but found it almost impossible to strike when in the shadow of goal. They made thirteen first downs to WILBERFOR
The first quarter opened with Cox running 104 yards from kick-off behind perfect interference for the first score, drawing the ball and fighting sprint within the Flickies, which the Ohioans were unable to overcome. From thence it became smashing with Wilsonfer's edge on ground gains. Yost and Moore began a kicking game with Yost averaging forty yards against a strong line by both teams with only a few being completed. The quarter ended with Wyllatt Slaughter who played the stellar role along with Captain Cox by both teams on a few being completed. These four slammed off attacks from all directions. Hunter and Forde were very consistent in warding off the rushing of big "Dad" Tynes and Thornhill who threatened with their wild running.
The second and third quarters were periods of thrills by the running of the phantom backs by the runners, one of whom exerted an execlate with the stalwart lions would hold at the goals forcing a kicking duel. The stands were frequently brought to their feet by the astounding pace of the first line game, for the plush throughout the game as any veteran of the grid could. Much credit is due Fowler at left end, Clarke right of Fowler. Both Conches Graves and Johnson withheld quite a few stars. The former, Nixon, Types and Kilgore, the second-footed Wiggins and Harding, a well- Wilberford, both reputable runners and living phantoms of the grid. However, when the men were highly pitched and bored down on their attacks.
The last period found the versatile

course, Sunday, the members play-
ing their second Sunday in the club
championship tournament turned in
sports.
The highlight of the play was the breaking of the eighteen hole course record by James McCoy, Eastern Open Champion. McCoy literally burned up the court, swept and turned 68, two strokes under par. During this eighteen hole rampage, the champion clicked off 9 threes. This brilliant round, coupled with a former round of 17, gave McCoy a total of 105 strokes, the highest of the Class A Division. Earl Adams and C. Cook are trailing McCoy in the top flight. Positions in the Class B and Class C divisions shifted somewhat, but as a whole the best team in the division, the ultimate winners will be. W. C. Harris, a Class B golfer who played his first rounds Sunday, is a late entrant who will have to be reckoned with. His score for 30 holes in 61 strokes was 195, and Gus Gibson, who lead the division, R. E. Lee passed Tucker Johnson to lodge in third place. B. Graxon, who the first Sunday led the Class C players, turned in a 61 and continues to lead that division.
The showers of the week materially helped the greens and putting conditions were much better.
The scores:

Thornhill, one time Fiskite, running his mates against Harding, the Wilberforce mounts to the field, and this is a great interest to many veteran fans of both teams. The game went up 6-6 as Moore advanced the ball to yards assisted by Wilberforce, taking eleven yards for touchdown. But the bulldogs were not to be denied and after an exchange of several punts carried the Ohio State to the ball and Ballard broke through the line to stop Thornhill on his six yard line. Moore dropped back to kick. Pierce broke through, blocked the way for Wyatt Slaughter to make himself the hero of the fray. This ended the scoring as Fisk emerged ahead 12 to 6. For the touch can be said of the career of seventeen men who equally share the honor of erasing force's hope for a national title. Too, the entire Wilberforce team displays skill and offensively. But the bulldogs vowed to win or die and now there will be no funeral.

THE GORILLA AND HARRY TO MEET
THE GORILLA AND HARRY TO MEET
Will Settle Old Argument at the Olympia Club Thursday Night
Harry Smith, generally considered one of the greatest colored middleweights the world has ever known, will have his hands full when he tackles Gorilla Jones, of Akron, Ohio, in the feature ten-round bout at the Olympia Club here Thursday night.
Gorilla is one rough customer when he has something to fight for, and he realizes that he has something to fight for when he meets Smith. A victory over Jones would put the Gorilla right in line for a shot at Mickey Walker's 160-pound championship. He be remembered that Smith and Jones were disqualified at the Queensboro not long ago for failing to fight. They were ordered to do it over again by the State Athletic Commission, but the Queensboro Club was unable to put the boy again because it was too late in the reason for outdoor shows. Thus the match has gone to Promoter Jess Mabon.
McMahon is taking no chances with this pair, for if they do not give forth their best effort they will not be able to up their share of the prize. There is no danger, however, of a repetition of their first encounter. The little difficulty that prevented them from mutualizing on either side of the situation will not be overcome, the situation this will.
Encouraged by his success at the Olympia Club, McMahon intends to keep up his policy of Garden attractions at small club prices. In support of the Smith-Jones bout he has arranged a corking card of prelimiaries. The pairings follow: Eduardo Barry, Cuba, vs. Al Marranda Harlem, six rounds, vs. Carlsson, Alabam, vs. Tom Gipirtel, Harlem, Jimmy Hughes, vs. Vinceent Bonta Renta, Ernesto Torres, Porto Rico, vs. Smith, Harmlen; Manny East Side, vs. Beezy Toomas, Congo Isles; Tiger Frazier, Bronx, vs. Pete Simonetti, Harlem; Ralph Montagio, Porto Rico, vs. Pablo Blanco, Cuba; Jose Pimental, Porto Rico, vs. Billy Jenkofsky, Yonkers.
Last Wednesday night close to 10-000 fight enthusiasts saw the simi-nature boxers conclude their two-day wait carnival at Madison Square Garden.
As usual, the bouts were productive of more action and thrills than have been seen at the Garden in many moons. Fifteen bouts were contest-ed. Four of them ended in knock-outs, while only one, a semi-final bout, went an extra round.
Jack Lowery, representing the Salem-Crescent A. C., won the metropolitan heavyweight championship without even putting on a glove, Pinkston J. Bell, Paulist A. C., who was to have been Lowery's opponent, was rejected by the doctor. Pinkston goosed the doctor. "Pinkston that the medics did turn him down. Lowery might have thrown him down.
Louise Reyes, another member of the Salem-Crescent Club, also won a championship without raising a hand. Louis Drew a bye and then was declared champion of the 126-pound class when his would-be opener advanced to the semifinal round by taking a decision over Bobby Williams, another ebony scraper. In one of the best bouts of the night Charles Vallareal, Catholic Boy Club, won the flyweight championship by outpointing game little Jimmy Martin. Clark House A. A. Martinez and for the first two rounds Martin traged a brilliant rally in the third round but Vallareal's early lead proved too much for him to overcome. Martin received a thunderous reception when he left the ring. Martin reached the final at the expense of Al Manley, New Rochelle from the home team easily. The ultimate victor had an easy time of it defeating Ashton Chambers, Salem-Crescent A. C., before he won from Martin.

elementary school, was the outstanding sensation of the night. Looking not a day over sixteen years Fox stole the show from his contemporaries by his sensational victory over the 1180-pound class. Few of the top-notchers sighting in the professional ranks today left as favorable impression in their amateur days.
Roth took an awful shellacking in the first two rounds. Fox sent him to the canvas for a five count in the second round, but towards the close of the stanza he spurted and had him lunging in attack. He staged another rally in the closing round but Fox knew too much for him and held him off with a straight left. However, Roth managed to sneak in a few right crosses which sent Fox back on his heels. They were given a great hand by the crowd, and planted several kisses on his son's cheeks after he was awarded the "duke."
Walter Brown sent Tony Collette to the mat four times before the referee decided the Long Island City Athletic Club boxer had enough after two minutes of fighting in the second round. Collette took three trips to the canvas in the first round, fighting harder each time he arose from the mat. Collette and Mark Hough battled four rounds, with the former winning. Brown whipped Paul Rogan.
Jack Beasley, St. Mary's A. C., defeated Ed Woocher, National A. C. to win the 160-pound championship Jack Wright, Salem-Crescent, lost to Sally Angelo in the final bout in the 175-pound class.
Both special bouts ended in knockouts. In the 128-pound class event Harold Jackson of the Salem-Crescent stopped Tony De Giorgio unattached. in 2:49 of the second round. De Giorgio was down on six count in the opening stanza. Ruby Simmons, Salem-Crescent Club, put the quietus on Mike Gillen, Good Shepherd A. C., in 1:42 of the opening round.
Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" To Open Wednesday Night
(Continued from Page 11.)
come songs which shortly after the opening went into hits, and the talent he has been in the habit of using he has surrounded with every opportunity for making good.
How well Leslie has handled his shows was even appreciated in Harlem, for his "Blackbirds" laid the foundation for the success of about nine midnight shows staged during 1929 by the dramatic editor of The Amsterdam News in behalf of local charitable institutions. Instead of rushing to Broadway like so many others, the "Blackbirds" have been enjoying a great run in Boston, the first week at the Macy's Theatre in Brooklyn, and flowers of this form of entertainment have enough confidence in Leslie to believe that he has made the most of every opportunity to round out his presentation, for Broadway consumption.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Lew Lesile has another success in the offing, and if he should fall it will be a greater disappointment to all concerned than in the case of many of the other shows trying for a foothold on Broadway, for Lesile has talent aplenty in his show. Ethel Waters is the outstanding star of all female performers of color in the world, while Flournau Miller stands in a class by himself as a comedian. There can be a doubt the fact that Minto Cato is a singer for love in Minco, the average, and if she used with numbers suited to her she should go over big. The public also expect much from Buck and Bubbles, two youngsters enjoying an enviable reputation before the footlights.
A safe bet, with the production will be disclosed in the Berry Brothers, those two youngsters who would be an acquisition to any musical show, white or colored, and they are going to make Broadway stand up and shout. Little Mantan Mooreland is not to be discounted as a comedian, and lined up alongside of Flournoy Miller he should again come into his own. There are many others the production who should show their talent and engage it a success, among them being Jimmy Baskette, one of the most intelligent members of the profession and a young man whose stage department recalls Henry Troy. Note that we haven't said that Mr. Baskette is a singer
The New York Amsterdam Newsg
like Mr. Troy. Broadway Jones will also score.
Then comes the work of the orchestra. Lew Leslie has made this part of the proceedings something which receives his undivided attention day and night, and whether the numbers are tuneful or not that orchestra under the personal direction of Euble Blake will be at its best. In a special race the majority of the people lay their money on a horse with a reputation, and the same holds good in the case of shows coming to Broadway. At the same time we also admit that there are times when the favorite falls to bring home the bacon and we now step back and leave the field to men like Theophilus Lewis and the rest of the big local critics to pass their opinion of the "Blackbirds of 1930."

Koli Kola Met Setback Fri.
Jimmy Slavin, former featherweight champion of the National Guard, scored the biggest upset at Madison Square Garden last Friday night in fistic doings when he won on a technical knockout in five rounds over Koli Kola, Porto Rico flash. Kola entered the ring an odds-on favorite, but the West Indian boy could not withstand Slavin's terrific body punching.
Slavin nearly floored Kola in the first round when he clipped him with a stiff right to the chin. They traded poke for poke here and the Irishman had an edge at the bell. In the second round Kola, after battering Slavin all over the ring, took a stiff left in the midsection and almost collapsed. The bell saved Kola in this and the two following rounds.
Slavin brought the fight to a close by hammering Kola into the ropes and peppering him with a two-fisted attack to the body and head. The colored boxer was out on his feet and ready for the exit when Referee Jack Dorman stepped in and waved Slavin to his corner. The time was 2 minutes 23 seconds. Slavin, weighing 1291/4 pounds, had a three-quarter pound advantage. The occasion marked Kola's first defeat in eight starts in this country.
Splendid System at "Y" For Securing Good Talent
Boys who are candidates for the varsity basketball teams of the local "Y" must walk the chalk line if they hope to make the grade this season. While they run through the practice games prior to the cut which will take place in the last week of October, several pairs of eyes observe them critically. The physical directors, the boys' secretaries and the band and pad recording their impressions of the players in scrimmage. The unusually large number of candidates, some eighty or more, has necessitated the use of accurate measurements and records.
Regardless of whether a boy lands a varsity bounce on one of the four major teams, he cannot help but benefit by an analysis of his basketball equipment. The unsuccessful candidate might well be more attention-getting overcoming his weakness. The first major consideration in rating a player is skill. This might be broken up into a multitude of qualities, but generally they fall under the main heads of handling the ball, controlling the body, basket shooting and defensive play. The other major consideration is native qualities. Here again the several contributing factors are grouped under aggressiveness, sportsmanship, leadership, stamina, headwork and general expression. The latter factors are included as including all the others and a little more. The maximum grade for each of the factors is ten.
Several of the players who have shown keen interest in this method have expressed their satisfaction of the attempt to discover the best material. Thus far, the system has tended to promote a higher degree of team-play than is usually in evidence among players who have not yet been moulded into a team. Among the fourteen teams which comprise the four eight division, the competition been keen in spite of the fact that the game score is not taken into account.

Brooklyn Urban League Secretary Told of Work in Radio Talk Monday
Says Friction Is at Lowest Ebb in Those Sections Where Work Is Being Carried on by the League
Speaking over station WNYC last Monday evening at 6 o'clock, Robert J. Elzy, executive secretary of the Brooklyn Urban League delivered one of the most far-reaching addresses ever to have been over the radio within recent times when he spoke to the work of the Brooklyn Urban League.
"Since last January I there have been several outbursts of lawlessness directed against the person and property of Negroes in many parts of the United States. The frequency with which these alarming and careful observers to note of these are significant facts, principal of those places where there is a branch of the Urban League, or of any first class social service agency working with, and in behalf of the colored element of the population, has been noticeable fiction between the two racial groups. Some people have said that the program in large centers wherein dwells the spirit of Christian charity and in which civic pride manifests itself. Be that as it may, it is sufficient justification for the existence of the Urban League. Its sufficient idea finds fulfillment in the unargued scope of painful employment and complete duties and privileges of citizenship by the people of the community."

"While the prime reason for the continuance of the Urban League is often thought to be the opening up of diverse communities, the need to Negroes, its real purpose is to improve all of the conditions under which this group is usually compelled to live by virtue of enforced poverty and lack of education, the elasticity of the elasticity of its program is the fact that each branch of the Urban League has within its scope and embraces all the local problems faced by the Negro minority coming within its
"But while it is helpful to speak of the Urban League work as a unit, it may be instructive, and even more interesting, to cite some of the work of a particular branch of the Urban League to be brought out, anamach as my duties connect me with the Brooklyn Urban League. I shall attempt to give a brief sketch of the work of that branch.
"In addition to handling any specific case that brought to its attention, the Brooklyn Urban League program includes the operation of a day nursery, a kindergarten, a free employment bureau co-operating with the Welfare Council of New York City, a social service department to which the court work and service are assigned, and probationers are referred. Problem children in the public schools find guidance through the aid of a member of this department.
"The kindergarten is officially connected with and operated as a branch of P.S. 20, the school for boys, which is carried on by a staff consisting of nine well-trained assistants.
"The Negro population of Brooklyn is now far above the numbers of 75,000. Spurred on by the lack of employment so common in small towns, there are other disadvantages to which they are subject as a result of their race, thousands of unfortunate have found their way into the large cities, offenses to face disappointment, and the need for its share of those who joined in the trek northward.
"In commenting on the work of the Brooklyn Urban League, the Brooklyn Daily Times, in its issue of 1985, stated that being done to improve conditions in Brooklyn's great colored element is not a new one to the public spirited and charitably inclined people of the borough. It has been told many times that the city has been in operation more than 21 years, and the Urban League more than 13. The present organization is the outcome of the merger of the two.
"The Brooklyn Urban League-Lincoln Settlement League, a First Place, a little throughout in Brooklyn, in a block occupied almost wholly by colored families. It conducts most of its activities there, though by co-operation to carry on hours, work in other places.
This year, because of the severe unemployment crisis, the League has been especially hard pressed as a consequence of its limited means in its endeavor. The Employment Department has tried to contribute its share to the common good by making a very determined effort to procure more work than has been formerly obtained by the company, nothing of a senior nature was given to the most needy care. There are to be found applicants fitted by aptitude and training for all types of work, irrespective of whether it be skilled or unskilled. Automobile mechanic or a playground instructor can be found with a most as much ease as a haplier or a domestic worker. For the purpose of making placements this department is open daily except on weekends. All applicants are required to furnish two references which are checked and certified. In accordance with the service rendered by this department is free to employer and employee alike, it is finally hoped that the employing public will accept it whenever the opportunity is offered.
"The various courses of the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and the other welfare organizations of the amusement, attest to the effectiveness of the Social Service Department in the assistance service. "In addition to some other needs, one of the most obvious of the Brooklyn Urban League is a modern fireproof building. The work carried on in the present quarters has long outgrown the physical capacity of this then honored building so familiarly known to Brooklyn's poor colony, emphasized when the work of the day is considered, for we

The medium wage of the colored worker is far below that of a result of this, the wives of affluent have to seek employment in order to increase the family income. The question of finding a suitable place for placing the little children of the family is a matter of their nursery. The facilities offered by this branch of the work have already been greatly overtaxed. Larger and better quarters are most urgently needed for the extension of this work. "The past summer was one of the harshest yet experimented Brooklyn air work and fortuitously vacations given to the children of this borough. Operating in conjunction with the Tribune Fresh Air Fund, this office was able to send to the city not otherwise have escaped the torrid heat of the city.
"Much more could be said about the activities and needs of the Brooklyn Urban League, but since that which has been said was intended as a digression from the general theme merely to bring out the thought that an Urban League, wherever located, is a powerful factor for interracial understanding. It seems appropriate to say that the one of the Brooklyn Urban League are being the members of 4 similar branches of the National Urban League scattered throughout the nation.
"In very many cities of the west and midwest the thoughtful and progressive people of both races have urged the National Urban League to take action in the work of its work in their centers. Its twenty years of service in fostering a practical philosophy of interracial interpretation and understanding under the best influences have resulted in definitely shaping the lives of many people in the United States in giving a better conception of the meaning and possibilities of citizenship; in training and sending students of social service to places where their very presence will be an assurance of a happier day for many people; in making a dreamy and without obvious promise.
"The board of directors of each branch of the Urban League is composed of men and women. Their example in Laing themselves together with the hope of correcting the evils fastened upon the Negro minority by three centuries of inequality and social injustice, finds its echo in the case of Rosenfeld when he expressed the truism that one man cannot make any progress while he, himself, is engaged in keeping another one down, but that the interests of each would be materially advanced when he is an equal opportunity open to all."

There is a greater thrill to be gained in shooting beasts with a camera than with a gun because of the mental kick derived in the watching of the beasts. Sportsmanish is hiding in the firing of a proper weapon at a jungle beast at the safe distance of thousands of yards with the resulting senseless slaughter." "The savage of Africa would be much happier if he were allowed to be matched by the white man's civilization."

Indian Speaker At Douglas Forum
Mudgal Struck Back at Black "Reds" Who Tried to Heckle Him
Declaring that birth control should be universally practiced if wars of necessity must be eliminated, H. G. Mudgal, editor of the Negro World, in quite a scholarly manner made a deep impression on an audience of black people gathered at the Howland Studio, 1660 Fulton street, last Sunday afternoon when he spoke on the subject of "Birth Control or War and Peace" under the auspices of the Frederick Douglas interracial movement. He said that war is of two kinds, one a war of greed and the other a war of necessity. The former arises out of exploitation of weaker people and the latter out of rapid increase in population in a limited geographic territory. When he declared, that in order to bring about an enduring peace we must eliminate the causes, not just preach and pray for peace. The exploitation must cease both within and without, that is, both nationally and internationally. Special specialists should withdraw in time from the countries, they are exploiting.
He closed by saying that to eliminate wars of necessity an intelligent birth control should be universally practiced.
After the presentation of the subject, meeting was thrown open for questions and discussions. At this point it became so heated that it was only with great tact that Rothchild Francis, who acted as chairman, was able to control the audience.
Most of them who expressed themselves as Communists vigorously denounced the theory advocated by the speaker, and suggested instead a change of the present economic system. They were unanimous in their opinions, their wars will cease if the capitalistic system of government were destroyed.
Mr. Mudgal struck back when the floor was given him to reply and after condemning the tactics used by the Communist group said that he was neither a capitalist, Communist, Liberal nor Socialist, but an "intelllement-free" freeman. He fused to subscribe wholly to the theories of any particular group, for in so doing he would circumscribe himself intellectually, thereby losing much of that mental alertness which is necessary if one must survive in this age of heartless competition. Communist, Intellectual Forum meets every first third Sunday at the studio, and the officers are Frederick L. Makel, president; Rothchild Francis, secretary; Lillian Makel, assistant secretary.

A licensed man for apprentices to barber colleges in the state, an effort is being made by the leading Negro barbers to have such a school opened at the State Agricultural College at Greensboro, Inasmuch as it appears that the law is designed to make it more difficult for colored barbers to work on white trade, a movement is now to bring about a repeal of the law.

"I have tried three girls in three weeks," this executive said. "Each of them claimed to be competent. None was. Their educational background was so scant that frequently they did not know what you were talking about when you dictated a word a bit out of the ordinary.
"We employ several stenographers, and we pay most of them $125 a month. We have private employment agencies, the Youth League, and made inquiries from private in-keres and making an efficient worker, without success. Why do not Negroes seeking employment properly prepare themselves?
"I went into the office of a white concern the other day. It was an educational fund office largely concerned with work among our people. Too. They have nine stenographers. Every one is a college graduate. Three of them had Phil Beta Kappa keys, one had two years' work yet before obtaining her master's degree. They earn $40,000, but they are trained and intelligent. Why cannot colored girls be equally well-trained, or why do not those who are educationally equipped go in for stenography and business effort?" Any stenographer who meets the qualifications laid down by this executive, who really knows her dictation, and who can have this executive's name and address by sending a statement of her qualifications to the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana avenue, Chicago.
EITUOR'S NOCE: This incident has been reported because it gives a picture of conditions which any Negro business institution in a com-munity with general runners affecting financial responsibility.

Realty Brokers' License Year Ends November 1
ALBANY, Oct. 20.—With the current license year ending on November 1, thousands of real estate brokers and salesmen have not renewed their licenses, according to A. C. MacNulty, deputy Secretary of State, and head of the licensing division. At this time last year over 10,000 estate brokers had renewed their the present time, there have been but 7,908 renewals by brokers and 3,198 renewals by real estate salesmen, as against 4,385 a year ago. Mr. MacNulty calls attention to the fact that, without a license, brokers and salesmen have no right to transact any real estate business, or furthermore that they cannot collect the salesman's earned during such period as they are not licensed.
Mr. MacNulty asserts that many persons have gone out of the real estate brokerage business, probably due, to some extent, to the existing business depression. The fact remains, however, that there are undoubtedly thousands who are waiting until the last moment to renew their present license, and there will be the usual last minute rush.

Losing the past few month's difficulty has been encountered by property owners in oilishing renewals of their first mortgages. This state of affairs has caused quite a quandary and has, incidentally, brought about a reputation for who do not care to extend their mortgages on property where titles have been transferred to owners of color.
Numerous inquiries regarding the existence of such a discriminatory practice brought about an investigation, the result of which verified the contention that several institutions, banks and title companies do discriminate in the resale and transfer of mortgages.
It has been said that a first mortgage is desirable because it shows the value of the property. No greater fallacy than this has ever been originated. I have known property to carry a first mortgage whose face value was worth more than the property securing it. A first mortgage is desirable only if the property is adequate—a private or a political mortgage has no basis of color.
People interested in the purchasing of property should make a thorough investigation into the name of the institution, bank or title company holding the first mortgage. The investment borrower, white or colored, represents the most substantial type of citizen; he has property to offer as security for his loan and such loans are not held by the institution or public policy. There are institutions who solicit the patronage on a purely business basis. They have no line of demarcation and their funds are plentiful. They require from one and from all adequate security. This type of financial institution is the best type with which to place one's first mortgage.
Most property is purchased subject to a first mortgage. Such mortgages are either technically known as "open mortgages" or "term mortgages" and are provided in full can and may be required at any time. Therefore, this form should be avoided unless some assurance is given by the holder as to future safety. Should an open mortgage be called, the cost of replacement often

OF THE outstanding liberals of the candidate for Congress in the Seventh National district of New York, and it is that he will be elected. No man in Congress than Heywood could be more useful there. Coneywood and party hacks, men who with fixing their own fences than tiny of the nation.
ITS OPPONENTS have tried to try by calling it a columnist's law as a mere genial essayist with a hard life and the problems of life that Broun is one of the most numerous men in American life. And Vanzetti were executed unjustly though he knew that it would only lucrative position on a great wars were merely deploring the event, Broun went out and did working and agitating till he had men and women. In season, coldly for the rights of the oppressors, are not the acts of a neither of his rivals for Congress in his own career like them.
ITS PLATFORM is positive. Its being evils; it proposes concrete remedies for unemployment; its social insurance, labor legislative national relations.
ARD to the Negro question Brooding that no government aid show schools. He stands also for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth. He is opposed to the barbarism. Let the Negro voters of the local district compare this part of Broun of Broun's rivals, neither one about Negro rights.
A MAN, in fact, most men, go glowing promises and then forge guard for their political skins. He is not that kind of man. His offices for principle and he is real. He is running on the Socialist what ticket he runs on such a man, not only by the Negro but by the Roosevelt's Birth.
HER 27 is the birthday of a great Theodore Roosevelt; a man whose full more Americans than any part of Abraham Lincoln. He was a word which means "the rule of lived up to the best traditions of unpromising, nearsighted child, a soldier, a diplomat, an autocrat. Finally President of the United States blazing personalities ever, toose. Under his leadership this country abread than ever before.
ALL HIS accomplishments, and being that stood out in Theodore Roosevelt's courage. He was never afraid that he felt deserved attacking, snakes on the western plains or eastern city. His spirit carried tages and reverses; he never hit him or what he was called, so he was in the right. No man since largely assailed by his enemies and killed bigger foes, and the people for the enemies he made. Manber or comprehend his achievement by his mighty spirit.

Elect Heywood Broun
Elect Heywood Broun
ONE OF THE outstanding liberals of America is a candidate for Congress in the Seventeenth Con-
gressional district of New York, and it is the hope of this paper that he will be elected. No man more deserves a seat in Congress than Heywood Broun and no man could be more useful there. Congress is too full of deadwood and party hacks, men who are more concerned with fixing their own fences than with fixing the destiny of the nation.
BROUN'S OPPONENTS have tried to laugh off his candidacy by calling it a columnist's lark, by slurring Broun as a mere genial essayist with a light-minded attitude toward life and the problems of the nation. The truth is that Broun is one of the most earnest, most courageous men in American life. He thought that Sacco and Vanzetti were executed unjustly and he said so, even though he knew that it would cost him his immensely lucrative position on a great newspaper. When others were merely deploring the widespread unemployment, Broun went out and did something about it, working and agitating till he had found jobs for a thousand men and women. In season and out he has stood boldly for the rights of the oppressed, for justice to all. These are not the acts of a superficial humorist. Neither of his rivals for Congress can point to anything in his own career like them.
BROUN'S PLATFORM is positive. It wastes no time attacking evls; it proposes concrete and constructive remedies for unemployment; it advances plans for social insurance, labor legislation, taxation and international relations.
IN REGARD to the Negro question Broun proposes a law providing that no government aid shall be given to "Jim Crow" schools. He stands also for rigid enforcement of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. He is opposed to the barbarous practice of lynching. Let the Negro voters of the Seventeenth Congressional district compare this part of Broun's platform with those of Broun's rivals, neither of whom has said a word about Negro rights.
MANY A MAN, in fact, most men, go into public office with glowing promises and then forget them in a tender regard for their political skins. Broun has proved that he is not that kind of man. He has made painful sacrifices for principle and he is ready to make them again. He is running on the Socialist ticket; but no matter what ticket he runs on such a man is needed in Congress, not only by the Negro but by the country.
Theo. Roosevelt's Birthday
Theo. Roosevelt's Birthday
OCTOBER 27 is the birthday of a great American —Theodore Roosevelt; a man whose life has inspired more Americans than any public figure since the death of Abraham Lincoln. He was born an aristocrat—a word which means "the rule of the best" and he lived up to the best traditions of the word. A sickly, unpromising, nearsighted child, he became an athlete, a soldier, a diplomat, an author, a governor and finally President of the United States, one of the most blazing personalities ever, to sit in the White House. Under his leadership this country was more respected abroad than ever before.
WITH ALL HIS accomplishments, and advantages, the one thing that stood out in Theodore Roosevelt's makeup was courage. He was never afraid to attack anything that he felt deserved attacking, whether it was a rattlesnake on the western plains or political corruption in an eastern city. His spirit carried on through all disadvantages and reverses; he never cared who was against him or what he was called, so long as he felt that he was in the right. No man since Lincoln was so savagely aailed by his enemies and the press, no man tackled bigger foes, and the people loved him all the more for the enemies he made. Many who cannot remember or comprehend his achievements are still inspired by his mighty spirit.

James G. Blaine shifted the gear. Since his days the watchword has been protection and prosperity. It has worked like a gun. The change from the doctrine of equality to the gospel of guts suited the shifting mood of the American
Mark Hanna held up "the full dinner pill." However, the master mechanic, speaks of the "full garage. The protective tariff underlid it all. Delirious with success, the party would not need the deep economic thinkers, who ever and anon warned that prosperity so based was short-lived and self-defeating in the long run. The brilliant Bottl Andersoll, way back in his day, declared that it was all right to protect infant industry as long as it remained state of helpless infancy, when the lusty infant children to rise up and knock down if you did not protect our protection, it was tied to a call. The American professor warned the nation of the danger of the obsolete doctrine of protection, but the advice was ridiculed as "academic." The cap-

12,000-Mile Trip Through the South

(For the Associated Negro Press.)
THE trip through the South stimulate interest in Negro public to subscribe to and of the Associated Publishers, achievements of the Negroes, made by talks to teachers at su Hampton, Tennessee State Colleges. In addition talks we schools, at conventions and w with large groups of people.
TIE trip through the South was made in an endeavor to stimulate interest in Negro history and to induce the Negro public to subscribe to and to read more widely the books of the Associated Publishers, dealing with the history and achievements of the Negroes. Efforts to arouse interest were made by talks to teachers at such summer schools as Tuskegee, Hampton, Tennessee State College, Sam Houston and other colleges. In addition talks were made in the graded and high schools, at conventions and wherever we came into contact with large groups of people.
Some of the results were gratifying in view of the general hard times. We were able to dispose of more than 600 sets of books. They found their way into Negro homes, clubs, Libraries, churches, colleges, and public schools. In addition, some were taken by white priests, white libraries, and white colleges.
North Carolina whites worked in the field side by side with Negroes harvesting tobacco; near Atlanta whites and Negroes worked to gether in the cotton field.
This was more pronounced in Texas. During a trip from Dallas to Austin, a distance of more than 225 miles, we actually saw
What is of even greater interest, however, was the inclination of Southern educators to commend the work and to promise to place some of the books of the Associated Publishers on their supplementary reading list, if suitable terms could be arranged.
Although the interest in Negro history was great east of the Mississippi, it was the people of Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma to learn something about their race was extremely gratifying to us. Indeed, it surpassed that of the South Atlantic and South Central states. We could have spent the winter in Texas alone.
We were not only interested in the dissemination of knowledge upon the Negro, but also took into account his economic and social interests. Unfortunately, we found that much of the work in the South was slipping out of the hands of Negroes. In tidewater

CERTAINLY HAMPTON cannot lose any prestige by having a Negro head, and it might well gain some. One of its graduates and officers, Dr. R. R. Moton, has acceptably presided over Tuskegee Institute, a more famous school than Hampton; another of its graduates, Booker T. Washington, founded Tuskegee. Another great school, Howard University, has lost nothing whatever by the election of a Negro as its president. There is no difficulty in finding a colored man of adequate calibre. A Negro president would give new impetus and inspiration to Hampton.
Haiti's Peaceful Election
Haiti's Peaceful Election
HAITI HAS HELD her first parliamentary election since 1915, the year of the American intervention. Contrary to the predictions of apologists for the intervention there was no disorder. The marines had no excuse for taking a hand and stayed in their barracks. This peacefulness may be pertinently contrasted with the state of affairs in the South American countries, where revolution is rife, and in one of which a civil war is raging.
THE ANTI-AMERICAN ticket was elected. The main campaign issue seems to have been the ousting of Americans from all control of Haitian affairs. As the Anti-American party has now a majority in the National Assembly it is safe to say that when a president is elected to succeed M. Eugene Roy he will be committed to the policy of American exclusion. The next step will be to secure Haitian control of the government money, which is now in American hands. After their fifteen-year dose of American rule the Haitians may be expected to settle down to peaceable self-government.

In field after field white men, women, and children were at work. In instances they worked along with the Negroes. Both whites and blacks have been pushed out of many of the fields in Texas by Mexican labor. In hotel and domestic work, due to the security of jobs, the Negroes also are losing. White men in uniform are working as elevator operators in the City Hall and in many office buildings, hotels, and restaurants in Atlanta. In Galveston, Texas, many of the finest hotels along the beach have white waiters, bellmen, and porters. Similar displacements could be ennumerated throughout the South.
The same is true in the field of common labor, once considered a Negro job. Whites and blacks were working side by side on the railroad outside of Birmingham; the same was seen once in Tennessee.

farm and shop and buy from the world whatever we need, with as little artificial restriction as possible. In the present state of world supply and demand, protective tariff must hereafter play a subordinate part in international trade. The Republican masters will not see this. They pipe this doctrine to the electorate, but it will not dance. The Democrats, as usual, place their reliance on negation. The Republican party proposes, God disposes, but the Democratic party opposes. In present state of things political, the Grand Old Party has no fresh or appealing proposal. The drought and financial depression凑到 stress its distress. If it saves the election it will be by the skin of the teeth and by virtue of the Democratic ineptitude.
The Grand Old Party has lost its soul, all but irretrievably. Too much prosperity has turned its head away from those moral and human rights issues from which its former grandeur was derived. The party which wrote the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution and in the enactment and ratification of the Eighteenth amendment, seems now afraid to face frankly these great human and moral issues for fear it might jeopardize its material program. But it is a safe prediction that, unless it espouses the prohibition principle in the next presidential campaign, its doom is certain. But the hopeful all that has been or can be said to its discomfiture, is the party of efficiency. It is adopted in the art of conducting the gov-

In Texas the Mexican is driving the Negro off the railroad. On a Federal highway being constructed between Memphis and Little Rock the whites outnumber the blacks 10 to 1. On another road in process of construction between Dilly and Encroala, Texas, a distance of about 60 miles, we saw one Negro only working, and he called out to us as if delighted at the sight of one of his own race; the same road now being built from Lake Charles to New Orleans.

But the coming wind with its hardships attendant up the destruction of crops by the drought, and the small outlook on an alleviation of unemployment may finally bring him to the firing realization of his extreme seriousness of his position.

Most of the public work, too, is now done by whites. Garbage collecting is now a white man's job in New Orleans, Little Rock, and Houston.

English Anthropologist Denies Africa Cradled Man
Where is the cradle of man? In Africa or Asia?
The question is rhetorical, not to say academic, especially if we consider that the leading anthropologists (being white) mean by the cradle of man that of the white man.
Sir Arthur Keith, the English anthropologist, thinks that the white man came from central Asia, although he concedes that he have come from northern Africa. The reason does not seem to be a scientific one, but a personal and highly emotional one. He does not think that the Africans ever possessed the "virtues of a great race"; those of leadership and aggressiveness. He insists that they have always brought up the rear guard.

Industrial Workers Healthiest
Workers in industry are healthier than the general population, and it is the young employee, rather than the elderly, who is prone to disease, according to indications in a study made by the Milbank Memorial Fund. Dean K. Brundage of the United States Health Service, in a study for the research division of the fund, has analyzed a large volume of data showing the extent of disability sickness among wage earning adults. His report states:
The sickness statistics of industry represent to a surprising extent the younger adult ages. In the manufacturing industries of the country as a whole, probably 80 per cent of the men are below age 45. A larger proportion of the female industrial workers, apparently from 90 to 65 per cent, is below age 45.

ernment and of doing great things. Germany is an illustration of what efficiency can accomplish without a soul. The only practical question is, can the Republican party retain its efficiency and regain its soul? Otherwise, some other party will emerge with both efficiency and soul, and relegate to the past the glory and greatness of the lamented Grand Old Party.
But in the pending campaign there is no choice. We are in the midst of national depression. The Democrats have nothing to offer but opposition and negation. Their triumph at the polls in November could but accustomate our depression by bringing our distress. A government would spell frustration. The administration is entitled to a Congress in sympathy with its sins and ideals. Otherwise there will result a stalemate.
To give the captain an unfriendly crew in the midst of a storm is but to invite disaster. It will require another generation to cultivate the damage done during the prestice and world recovery when Gov. Wilson was denied requested Congress to put through his scheme of world readjustment and reclamation. Genuine patriotism requires that all unselfish citizens unhold the hand of President Hoover and his Republican co-workers in their conduct of the government in these perilous times, brought about by ditions and man-madeation, over which little or no control, and intended to set forth the Negro's part at the height of the campaign, which I now find must be deferred until my next release.

He laughs, he dances, he sings, he buys automobiles, and he purchases expensive goods with its hardships attendant upon the destruction of crops by the drouth, and the small outlook for an alleviation of unemployment, may finally bring him to the full realization of the extreme seriousness of his position. He will then realize only too well his folly in allowing many of these jobs to slip out of his grasp, either through his unreliability, dishonesty, unintentional punishment, or cause of his peculiar supposition that certain jobs were just ordained to be his.
Distressful as this displacement may ultimately become, it may be a blessing in disguise, for it may force the Negro to develop a new economy or starve. Already the former is visible by the increasing number of Negro venders selling popcorn fruit, and wearing apparel in the streets and working as clerks in stores.

SHADES AND SHADOWS, by Randolph Edmons
Published by The Meador Company, Boston. $1.50.
At the Central Park Zoo there are two llamas, animals well worth looking at for an hour. They look top heavy, their wide back and full bodies taper down to ankles, and feet smaller than a goat's, and there are symmetry and grace in their every movement. You wonder how they can balance themselves on such tiny legs and feet. Your wonder would increase if you could see a llama in the Andes Mountains, with a two hundred pound load on its back, serenely treading a ridge six inches wide over a chasm ten thousand feet deep—a feat that no other animal in the world could equal.
The llama should be the ideal and symbol of every author who ventures into the world of fantasy, for there, if anywhere, absolute sure-footedness is a sine qua non. If the Andean llama's foot slips an eighth of an inch, he is gone; if a fantasy slips a hundredth of an inch, its spell is gone. In polemic, realistic or naturalistic writing an author may flounder through a whole book without losing his essential message or effect; sometimes his very founding creates a semblance of power. But a fantasy must be poised as delicately as the point of a needle, one grain of crass reality enmeshes it utterly.
Never-Never I land, therefore, has been explored successfully by very few writers. Coleridge did it royally with his ancient mariner and half did it with Christabel. Maesterrink managed it with bluebirds. Barrie is widely acclaimed for it, though you are never sure whether "Peter Pan" is art or senility. Blake's photopic visions are beautiful, even if they do sound like a madman's dreams. Poe achieved the fantastic unquestionably, in spite of his proclivity for wordgolf. Kipling, of course, tries everything once, but he is a little heavy-handed. Of the writers active today Dunsany is about the only one who keeps his footing on the Andean ridge of the shadow world.
More power to Randolph Edmonds. He is a young Morgan College teacher of English, founder and president of the Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association, and a director of the Krigia Little Theatre Players of Baltimore. In this book he has Harleen and the local offices of Negro authors behind; in fact, he has all but left the earth behind, much as Pee did in "Ulalume." He is the first Negro author to enter the twilight zone between this world and the next. "Shades and Shadows" is a volume of six stories written in dramatic form but meant to be read and not acted. In spite of the skeptics, there is a place for untable drama; it has given us some great, literature—Shelley's "Prometheus," for instance. This book only two really tell a story. "Shades and Shadows," the title story, is the closest to earth; in fact, it is all earth. Its inclusion in this book

Walton, the hero of "The Devil's Price," has been arrested and imprisoned by the king's soldiers and had his money wrested from him. Burning for revenge, he goes home cursing the monarchy and sells himself to the Devil at the Devil's price. He is soon called upon to lead a rebellion against the king, which he does successfully, and he in turn becomes king. But instead of the democratic government that he had promised he gives the people a worse tyranny than they had before, executing royalists wholesale and even having his faithful wife executed because his objects to 1.5. murderous policies. Finally he is poisoned by a舞者 and the Devil comes to claim him. In the end Walton wakes up and finds it was all a dream.
That is too bad; the story would have been better without this amuletish touch. When an author goes in for fantasy he should do it wholeheartedly, making no concessions to reality; he should more or less outlaw himself. The moment a fantasy flirts with earth it is gone.
There are trenchant lines in this piece that augur a fine future for this young writer of dramas. Most of them are put in the mouth of Waldo, the fool. When a toast is proposed to "the spirit of democracy" Waldo says that that's all democracy is—a ghost. He also sings: "Forget your troubles in a river of wine, and they'll come back when the sun does shine." When Walton cries out that he sees the Devil, Waldo says: "You are the only devil in this room." Throughout the story Waldo is a Sancho Panza, trying to keep Don Gukote's feet on earth.
The other four stories are neither dramas nor stories; they might be called sketches in dramatic form. In "Everyman's Land" two souls of dead soldiers go along together till one, the soul of a Southerner, discovers that the soul of a Negro, "The Phantom Treasure" tells of two colored youths in Georgia who dig for buried money only to have it rattle back out of their reach when they talk too loud. This is a familiar Negro folk-song, "The Tribal Chief" goes all the way to Thibet, near the Himalayas, for its setting; its heroine is a priestess condemned to death because she is not related. The story itself is less remarkable than the weird beauty of its atmosphere.
Since atmosphere is nine-tenths of fantastic literature, "Hewers of Wood" should be the most effective of these four dramatic sketches; but it is not. The atmosphere is the most cogent of them all; but it is neutralized by a strange blunder. Hajan and Nabob are Negro slaves in a strange land; the setting is Oriental-African, yet they talk the dialect of the American cottonfield Negro. With this one slip, what should be the most convincing of all the sketches falls to the ground.
"Shades and Shadows" shows that Randolph Edmons can give us things of beauty. But in the spirit-world he must learn to watch his step.

Along the way.
Dew-kissed flowers, humming

Happy hour, shading trees,
And a sunny day.
Carefree and gay are we.
Noon—
Walking in youth's own strength,
Rough is the road.
Sorrowing, misgivings, longings,
fears.
Forgettings, forgivings, heart-
aches, tears.
Heavy's the load.
Shadows are growing in length.
Eventide—
Trudging around the bend.
There gleams a light.
Gates ajar, cares all gone.
A shining star beckons on.
Home's in sight.
We're happy at journey's end.
