MME. ST. CLAIR BARES "POLICY" PROTECTION
LIBERIAN PRESIDENT RESIGNS
Judge Ben B. Lindsey's Ejection From Cathedral [N interrupting the services Sunday morning at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, former Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver violated the penal law of the State, even though the interruption was in the form of a plea for justice, fair play and an opportunity to present his own views on the subject of "Companionate Marriage." Bishop William T. Manning had attributed to Lindsey in his sermon views which the judge did not approve.
"Bishop Manning." Judge Lindsey shouted, the instant the cleric concluded his discourse; "you have falsely presented me! If this is not a house of justice, it is not a house of God, and in the name of justice I ask you for five minutes to answer this unfair attack. You have told lies about me——"
That is about as far as Judge Lindsey got. He was ejected from the house of God forthwith and will be tried on Friday in the West Side Court on charges of disorderly conduct. He may get justice there. We'll wait and see.
Companionate Marriage
BUT "Companionate Marriage"—what is it? And haven't we already got it with us? And if we haven't got it, what have we? Incidentally, in one of the future issues of The Amsterdam News, the book, "Twenty Views of Marriage," including companionate and about every other kind, will be reviewed by our Literary Editor. To contrast the attitude taken by Bishop Manning, we should also state that the book was sponsored by the Presbyterian Church as a source book for its clergy on the vital subject.
. . .
Maybe it would be just as well. If not better. If the writer of this column would let the subject of "Companionate Marriage" alone. But fools will always be found willing and ready to rush in "where angels fear to tread." However, having been once unhappily wed, he still has faith in marriage as an institution and would launch out on the matrimonial sea again, with high hopes for a successful voyage. If he should find himself unmarried—which qualifies him either as a fool or as an expert. Therefore, as might be supposed, he has no quarrel with marriage, whatsoever. His quarrel is with the State of New York's antiquated method of getting unmarried.
14. It New and Untried
"COMPANIONATE Marriage," so-called," said Bishop Manning in his discourse, "is only a name for legalized free love," and this view does appear to be diametrically opposed to Judge Lindsey's definition of the subject, which is as follows:
"Companionate marriage is legal marriage, with legalized birth control, and with the right to divorce by mutual consent for childless couples, usually without payment of alimony." The plan also calls for the institution of a special court, which he calls a House of Human Welfare, with a lawyer as judge, who would be aided and guided in reaching his decisions by competent physicians and psychiatrists: the proceedings to be entirely confidential and conducted without lawyers.
Let us examine into the system Judge Lindsey proposes, to see what features we already have with us—with and without benefit of the clergy and the law: We have legal marriage and illegal marriage, the latter called common-law marriage which, under certain defined conditions, becomes legal. Birth control, it may as well be admitted, we also have with us and, while it is widely practiced everywhere, it has not yet at-

Liberian President Steps Down
THE STREETS OF NEW YORK
RESENTING UNFAVORABLE CRITICISM that has been attracted to their country by the existence of slavery conditions, forced labor and "pawning," the Liberian Congress has forced the resignations of President Charles D. B. King and Vice-President Yancy. Photo shows President Kling and his party leaving the Vatican after an audience with the Pope.
PRESIDENT KING OF LIBERIA FORCED OUT AFTER SLAVE EXPOSE
Vice-President Yancy Also Tenders Resignation-U. S. State Department Instructs Charge d'Affaires to Play Hands Off
Dispatches from Monrovia indicate that the recent international investigation of conditions in Liberia verging almost on slavery under the regime of President Charles D. B. King and Vice-President Allen Yancy have forced these executives to resign. It seems that the findings of the League of Nations Commission give a truthful picture of the frightful conditions existing there.
King's resignation is a triumph for the public opinion in Liberia, especially of Monrovia, the capital of this republic. On October 1 the citizens of Monrovia demanded unanimously King's resignation and the punishment of all officers, high or low, for their misdeeds and for the disgrace they had brought on the struggling Republic of Liberia.
Now that part of their demands have been met, it would be interesting to see whether King's resignation would mean the end of his dynasty and a real shake-up in the interest of all the peoples of Liberia, both American returned Negroes and the native Liberians.

The State Department at Washington has, however, taken a very cautious and guarded attitude in dealing with the situation caused by the Libertian resignations and has instructed American Charge d'Affaires Samuel Reber, Jr., at Monrovia, to proceed cautiously in his dealings with the Liberian Government in view of them.
The resignations of the two executives were reported here to have been accepted by both houses of the Liberian legislature on December 4.
Edwin Barclay, the Secretary of State, succeeded to the presidency upon the action of the Libertian legislature in accepting the resignations of the two higher officials.
The American member of the commission was Charles M. Johnson of Fiske University.

White Principal Guilty in Attack
Suspended in Court at White Plains for Hitting Girl Pupil
Found guilty of assaulting one of his pupils, Charles O. Beaman, white principal of the Eastview Avenue Junior High School, was given a suspended sentence last Wednesday in the White Plains City Court.
Annabel Stepney, 17, testified that the principal summoned her to his office on November 24 and struck her a blow which loosened one of her teeth and drew blood from her mouth. Beaman said the girl had been impudent and discipline was necessary. Judge William Gray ruled that the principal exceeded his authority in striking the girl.
The Stepney girl was represented by William T. Andrews, attorney of 200 West 135th street and special legal adviser of the N. A. A. C. P., who pointed out that, under the law, no teacher may use physical force to en-

Superintendent Finds Slashed Body of Unidentified Man—Police Certain Hunt Will Yield Killer
A man hunt for a grim and heartless slayer was on yesterday as police of the West 136th street station, assisted by officers of every precinct in the city, bent their efforts toward snaring a killer, who slashed an unidentified man to death early Sunday morning at 247 West 143d street.
Pair Accused of Assault On Chinese With Cleaver
Accused of assaulting a Chinese with a butcher's cleaver, Joseph Jardine, 20, 157 West 117th street, and Henry Plummer, 30, 2789 Eighth avenue, were held without bail on charges of felonious assault when arraigned last Wednesday before Magistrate Dodge in Harlem Court. Sun Lee, 28 Mott street, told the magistrate that he visited the two men in the home of Jardine. A quarrel ensued and while Plummer held him, Jardine, according to Lee, struck him with the cleaver on the left hip, inflicting a deep cut which required several stitches to sew up. Jardine, the police say, was acquitted of a charge of murder in 1923, and in 1924 he was convicted of assault and robbery and was sentenced to serve from six to twelve years in prison. Plummer was arrested and discharged twice before from charges of felonious assault.

In rendering his decision, Judge Gray said: "I taught school myself for twelve years and can appreciate your desire to maintain discipline.

Driver Faces 'Pen' For Death by Auto
Court Told Intoxication Led to Crash Which Cost One Life
Charged with manslaughter, resulting from negligence in the operation of an automobile, Millidge Burton, 32. 54 East 102d street, was convicted on a second degree count last Wednesday in General Sessions. He will face sentence Friday.
Judge Collins remanded Burton to the Tombs to await his next appearance in court. The convicted man faces possible sentence of fifteen years.
Burton, who was employed in a garage, was given permission on September 12 to use the automobile of Max Schief, owner of an employment agency on 125th street. The defendant was speeding on Fifth avenue, near Ninethick street, when he crashed into a taxicab. Guy Hansen, 40, 56 East 101st street, who was riding in the rumble seat of the car driven by Burton, received injuries from which he died.
Evidence was brought out to show that Burton was drunk while driving the car. Burton, however, denied that he was intoxicated.

The man was found shortly after 6 a.m. by Alexander Whiteouse, superintendent of the apartment house. The victim's throat was slashed, and his abdomen had been laid open by the savage knife wielder. The 'superintendent called Patrolman Britsene the West 136th street station, who, in turn, summoned Dr. Winters of Harlem Hospital. The physician said the man was beyond aid and had been dead for several hours.
JUST OUT OF PRISON, SHE SAYS COPS TOOK OVER $6,000 IN GRAFT
Harlem Lieutenant Linked to "Numbers" by Fiery Woman Who Says She Was Victim of "Frame-Up"
Mme. Stephanie St. Clair, 31, militant enemy of the Harlem police, stepped from the prison walls of Welfare Island last Wednesday and threw a bombshell in the investigation of the "policy" racket, police, and Magistrates' Courts on Monday when she declared she paid $6,600 to a lieutenant and plainclothes officers of the Sixth division, only to be "framed" and sent to the Workhouse for eight months and twenty days.
Mme. St. Clair's sensational testimony was given privately to aides of Isidor Kresel, who is conducting the Appellate Division inquiry before Referee Samuel Seabury.
All the futility and morbidity in his life was reflected in a six-word note he left. Stradley's last message was: "Ah! Hell, what's the use? Goodbye." The aged man's body was discovered shortly after 8 o'clock by Sherman Mason, a cousin, with whom he made his home at the West 141st street address. Undressed and in bed, Stradley had attached a long rubber tube to an open gas jet on the wall. This tube he had inserted in his mouth.
Resuscitation Fails.
Mr. Mason summoned police of the West 136th street station who, in turn, called an ambulance from Harlem Hospital. Efforts to revive Mr. Strindley, however, were futile and he was pronounced dead by Dr. Maraerton upon the arrival of the ambulance. He had been dead for some time, Dr. Maraerton declared. A search of the room by Detective Nelson of the West 136th street station revealed the note penned by the aged man when he made the decision to end his life. This note lay on a table near the bed.
At the apartment where the tragic happening occurred, both Mr. and Mrs. Mason refused to give any information, about Mr. Stradley when a reporter of The Amsterdam News called at the house on Saturday morning. At the police station, however, it was revealed that they were his only relatives. Police advanced the theory that the aged man was unable to work and killed himself rather than become a burden to his kin.
The fiery woman of French birth, who formerly lived at 409 Edgecombe avenue, said she was formerly a "policy banker" and sought protection because of fear of the police. She declared that she sent payments of $100 and $500 by a man known as "Mustache" Jones to a lieutenant of the Sixth division. One lieutenant, Peter J. Pfeiffer, who supervised the work of the plainclothes men of the Sixth district, has already been accused in the vice inquiry by Mapocha Acuna, South American stool pigeon.
Later, Mme. St. Clair continued, she paid plainclothes men a total of $6,000. Her story was borne out in part by cancelled checks.
Police who were not in on the protection money, she asserted, became jealous and broke into her apartment, where they robbed her of $500. She telephoned the lieutenant and demanded

Wright Gets More Work
Dr. Louis T. Wright, secretary of the Harlem Hospital medical board and police surgeon, was assigned to take over extra duties in the Thirteenth Surgical district for eight days, beginning today, in a departmental order Thursday. Dr. Wright is in charge of the Fourteenth district in Brooklyn.
The supervisor took no action and Mme. St. Clair inserted advertisements in The Amsterdam News charging the police with persecution of Negroes in Harlem. She kept up the stream of propaganda until her arrest on a charge of possession of "policy" slips. She further charged that she was sent to prison on manufactured "evidence" because the police knew she was determined to punish them for "welching."
The militant woman has not given up her fight against the police, she said last Wednesday afternoon in an interview at the office of her attorney, Max Hoffman, white, 1475 Broadway. She was "framed," Mine, St. Clair declared spiritedly, and she will devote her time in the future to exposing police methods and demanding fair treatment from officers for the people of Harlem.
The fiery Mine, St. Clair was convicted of possession of "police" slips on March 14 in Special Sessions. She created a sensation in the court when she admitted, under questioning of the justices, that she had been a "banker." She quit the rucket, however, Mine, St. Clair told the court, and was marked for a jail term because of her fight for courtesy and freedom from annoyance by the police.
Officers Roberts, Hunter and Carter of the Sixth division said they caught her on December 30, 1929, in the hallway of 117 West 141st street with a handbag filled with "policy" slips.
CORRECTIONS
The Rev. Thomas B. Atkins, pastor of the M. Carmel Baptist Church in Philadelphia, denied that he was related to Rose Cunningham, alleged slayer held here for the murder of a Philadelphia mystic, in a conversation over the long distance telephone. The account of Miss Cunningham's arrest and mention of the Rev. Mr. Atkins were made last week.

Harlem Housewives Make Deposits on Goods Quoted at Cut Prices by Faker
Complaints at Company's Branch Office Draw Denial That Man Is Representative, but Manager Allows Credit on Purchases
The desire for bargains has led to the victimizing of many Harlem housewives during the past few weeks through the activity of a man who presents himself as a salesman of the Fuller Brush Company, offers remarkable bargains, accepts a deposit on the goods ordered, and then disappears.

This smooth tongued impostor, under the name of "John Screen," poses as a representative of the nationally known brush company, which has its main factory in Hartford, Conn. It is his practice to offer the Fuller products at greatly reduced prices to each prospective customer, proceeding to take orders and deposits for which he gives a receipt on the regular stationery of the Fuller company.
When the articles ordered failed to arrive within the specified time, the suspicions of several of the customers were aroused and they called at the main New York branch of the concern, located at 250 West Fifty-seventh street. There they were told that the Fuller Company had no agent operating in Harlem named Screan. To adjust matters, the victims of this clever fraud were offered the products originally ordered, but at the regular prices minus the deposit paid by them to "Screan." In many cases these prices were more than double those quoted by the pseudosalesman.
"Salesman" Cuts Prices.
Mrs. Cora Gary Illidge, 405 Edgcombe avenue, paid him $2.35 as a deposit on goods which she, of course, failed to receive. Mrs. Illidge told The Amsterdam News that the man called at her home on November 4. So reasonable were the prices quoted, she said, that she ordered the following articles: one clothes brush, $1; two complexion brushes at $1 each, and one hair brush, $1.75. Fuller clothes brushes sell for $2.75; the complexion brushes for $1.35, and the hair brushes for $4.70 each.
When Mrs. Illidge called at the West Fifty-seventh street branch of the Fuller concern, N. S. Isaacs, the manager, she said, offered to allow her the deposit paid on the articles if she would pay the regular price for them. This she agreed to do, she said, and purchased all of her original order save the hair brush.
Makes Credit Offer.
Mrs. Florence Brown, 211 West 149th street, another victim, paid Scream $3.25 on an order three weeks ago, she told The Amsterdam News on Monday. Mrs. Brown's order consisted of a shower brush, $3.50, which regularly sells for $6.85; a hair brush, $2; a floor mop, $1, and a shaving brush, 50 cents. All of the articles were offered at reduced prices. When Mrs. Brown made her complaint to Mr. Isaacs she was given the same offer as that made Mrs. Illidge, but refused it, she said.
Mrs. Sallie A. Barnes, 246 West 150th street, ordered a small brush for cleaning aluminum from the "salesman." She paid 45 cents. The man gave Mrs. Barnes a receipt which he signed "John Screan" on November 5, and delivery was to have been made three days later.
Every effort is being made to apprehend the perpetrator of this fraud, Mr. Isaacs of the Fuller Company told The Amsterdam News on Monday. The police, he said, have been notified. The man's activity in Harlem, he declared, has cost the Fuller Company over $700. The suggestion that Scream might be working with a regular salesman of the company in order to promote sales was scoffed at by Isaacs.
Denies Agent Is Ally.
When told that one victim of the fraud reported to The Amsterdam News seeing Nathaniel Brazen, white Fuller Brush salesman, in company with Scream, Mr. Isaacs said there must have been some mistake.
"Brazen," he said, "is one of our best salesmen and has done everything in his power to catch this crook. Why, he doesn't know what this man looks like. After all," he added, "our company has made good the loss in every case except one—and that was because of the stubbornness of the lady." He did not explain just what he meant by being "stubborn."

Association of Trade and Comm
The stormy meeting lasted from 10 p. m. Monday until 1 a. m. yesterday. The fifty physicians present, all members of a group which last year withdrew from the North Harlem Medical Society, voiced their thorough disapproval of such a survey. Dr. James L. Wilson, president of the Manhattan society, acted as chairman of the meeting.
The plans for the survey were set forth by Dr. D. L. Harris and Dr. Michael Davis, representatives of the Rosenwald Fund. Dr. Davis, who is white, is the medical director of the Rosenwald Fund. The survey, Dr. Davis explained, if approved, would be made under the auspices of Hospital Information Bureau of this city. The object of the survey, he declared, would be to provide added bed space for Negro doctors to care for their private patients.
In the discussion which followed, Drs. Louis T. Wright, Charles C. Middleton, Aubre de L. Maynard, Farrow Allen and Lucien Brown spoke against the survey, the chief argument being that the small number of private patients which each doctor had did not warrant such a survey. The "Jim-crow" policy of such a survey was also attacked. Dr. Davis denied that the object of the survey was a step toward the establishment of a Negro hospital, "The Julius Rosenwald Fund," he said, "has no idea of promoting any colored hospital in New York City." In a resolution which the Manhattan Medical Society unanimously adopted, the proposed survey was termed "uninvited, uncalled for, and unnecessary." A letter from Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q Morton to Dr. Wilson was read by Dr. Wilson. Mr. Morton said:
"I write in compliance with your request that I set forth in writing my views relative to the proposal said to be under consideration by Julius Rosenwald to establish a colored hospital in New York City. The proposal is vicious in principle and will, of course, be defeated. "First, there is no need in New York City for such a hospital. The city makes ample provision for the hospitalization of its sick without regard to their race or color. Colored physicians, surgeons and nurses enjoy equality of opportunity in our hospitals.
"Second, the proposal is in principle directly in conflict with the fixed policy of the Democratic party in New York City and the ideals and practices of the present city administration. At the time when the reorganization of Harlem Hospital was in process, it was proposed that the hospital be given over entirely to colored people. This proposal was summarily rejected, primarily because of the fact that it was vicious in principle and unsound in policy. The city does not separate any of its institutions by race or color, and never will, I hope. Certainly it will never do so as long as our party is in control. You may be assured that all the authority possessed by the city administration will be employed to defeat this pernicious project, and if the authority lawfully possessed is inadequate for this purpose, then the Democratic party will sponsor the necessary legislation.

tained the stamp of legality in this state.
As to alimony, Judge Lindsey's program calls only for the elimination of its evils, while retaining all that deserves to be retained. In addition to the foregoing, he would humanize the courts in which cases involving domestic relations would be heard and introduce into them and make a part of them persons of scientific knowledge and training in sex problems, mental attitudes and human conduct.
Thus it will be seen that there is very little that is new and untried in Judge Lindsey's companionate marriage proposal; certainly there is nothing in it that we should fear to have him explain to us, especially when we have most of its salient features with us already.

seeks to deal with matters in which basic social problems are involved, is a thing of doubtful value in a democracy. Perhaps such philanthropy in these cases should be brought directly under state supervision. Mr. Rosenwald's projects in behalf of the Negro, while doubtless well intended, have perhaps done us more harm than good. The Negro does not need philanthropy; all he asks is a square deal at the hands of the state and he will be able to take care of himself. It is not bounty that we want, but simple justice."

Marriage Does Not Hamper a Woman's Progress in a Business or Profession
Negative Debaters Win Decision in Tilt at West 137th Street "Y"; Attorney-Ruth Whitehead Whaley Presides
That a woman's progress in a business or a profession is not hindered or hampered by marriage was proved to a mixed audience by three members of the Business and Professional Women's Club, in a debate with three other members on Friday night at the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A.
Upholding the negative and victorious side were Dr. Addle Williams, Mrs. Carrie B. Overton and Dr. Alma Mary Haskins, Mesdames M. Fitzgerald-Langlois, R. N., Willard Halston and Ollie Porter were the affirmative team.
The issues set forth by the affirmative were that 76 per cent of the successful married women were in business before they married and this very fact made them a more "mar-
ketable" product; that a successful married woman would be more successful if she were not married; that men are physically stronger while women are constitutionally stronger, thus leading to a natural division of labor that is harmful to a woman who must "make" a home and "go to business."

wald. In communities such as ours is, where the Negro enjoys in full measure his civic and political rights and equality of opportunity at the hands of the state, he is well able to take care of himself. He is in no sense a 'problem' and does not need to be 'surveyed' or 'analyzed.' We are American citizens, a little handicapped perhaps by reason of our color, but we are able to fight our own battle.
"If Mr. Rosenwald's interest in colored Americans is sincere, it would be a fine thing for him to prove it by extending to colored men and women, in his vast business organization, equality of opportunity in employment and promotion, a thing which he does not now do. He has made many millions of dollars by the sale of his merchandise to colored farmers in the South and, instead of offering us bounty in the form of colored hospitals, where they are not needed, he should extend to us that to which we are by right entitled, equality of opportunity."

Dentist Gives Services Free
Dr. B. Haines of 144 Columbus Ave. corner of 66th St., well-known dentist, has offered his services free of charge to the unemployed.
Dr. Haines knows that there are many persons at this time urgently in need of dental treatment and yet would suffer pain and risk their health rather than go to a clinic or hospital, because they cannot afford the services of a private dentist.
Dr. Haines has also agreed to do such dental work as may be necessary, at the cost price of materials, for those who want to pay and yet cannot afford to pay very much.
Dr. Haines has established his large practice by his fair dealing and gentle methods.
Dr. Haines specializes in extraction with Gas or Novocaine and gives nervous people and children special attention.
His office is the most modernly equipped dental office in New York City, with X-Ray and mechanical laboratories on the premises.
Dr. Haines' natural-like lightweight, unbreakable plates defy detection.
Plates and bridges repaired while you wait.
Dr. Haines always carefully examines and makes a study of each patient without charge whether further services are rendered or not.

This modification of the name does not necessitate any change in the line number itself. For example:
When dialing numbers, dial the first 2 letters of the name and the office numeral, then the line number—instead of 3 letters and the line number, formerly. The number HAover 2—9970 should be dialed H-A-2—9.9.7.0. Remember to dial two letters and not three letters. When giving numbers verbally, say, for example, Hanover 29970.
In Manhattan and The Bronx: Telephone users are requested to begin placing all city calls on the new basis on December 16 or as soon as they receive their Winter 1930-31 directories, which will be delivered beginning December 16.
As the delivery will take several days, during this period and while telephone users are becoming accustomed to the new designations calls may be made in the old way.

Dr. Green had practiced medicine in Newark for eighteen years prior to his arraignment. He was arrested in his office at 78 West Market street a few months ago by Federal agents, and he was convicted and received sentence on November 25.
Judge William Clark of the Newark Federal Court refused to grant the plea of Green's counsel, Attorney George A. Douglass, for leniency, stating that Green had had ample opportunity to abide by warnings given him when previously charged with the same offense. He did, however, permit the physician to return home over the Thanksgiving season in order that he might adjust his business affairs and assign his patients, and he was committed to the Hudson County Jail instead of being sent to Atlanta, so that his family will be

"I'll break your nose and black both of your eyes!" A mother said this to her eight-year-old daughter Monday afternoon and it was my misfortune to hear the threat. I walked on, leaving the mother and daughter behind, but I had little or no control over my rampant thoughts. Those words; the child's guilty look, somewhat softened by her watery eyes and puckered lips; the shroud of fear that enveloped this youngster; the mother's fit of rage and her apparent disgust with her offspring—all flashed in my mind. I could picture this child, and a girl at that, running away from home, staying out late, making friends with experienced delinquents, and finally being haled into court on some major charge.
It is true that I did not know the exact offense the child had committed, but I wanted so to see the mother adopt an entirely different attitude toward her. To take her into her confidence; to talk to her as a "small" woman, since children do imitate their parents; to tell her only the things that she really would do to her when her temper cooled down to its normal state, would certainly make the child more careful. Her respect for her mother, if it changed at all, would be increased.
I venture to say that this particular mother would want to fight any person she heard making such a threat on her flesh and blood. Whether or not she breaks the child's nose and blacks her eyes, this mother needs to watch and change her words. If you make this type of a statement, especially to a child, then you, too, need to watch and change yours.—T. E. B.
Housewives' League Elects New Officers
The Harlem Housewives' League elected officers for 1931 at a meeting a Monday night at the Urban League, 204 West 136th street. They are: Mrs. Lucile G. Randolph, re-elected president, with Mrs. Rosa Denniston running a close second; the Rev. Agnes Morris, vice-president; Mrs. Ferol Smooth, recording secretary; Mrs. Sadie P. James, financial secretary; Mrs. Mary Van Liew, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Ella Carey, treasurer; Mrs. Rachel Hudson, organizer; Mrs. Lois Allen, chairman of the publicity committee; Mesdames Daisy Fletcher, Victoria Kniloch, Addie Williams, Hattie Brown, Mary Lee, members of the advisory board.
Other interesting features of the evening's program were the awarding of a prize to Clarence Cherry, 12, for work done in the Flying Squadron of the G. M. A.; a talk by Mr. Clausen, white, of the Nestle Food Products Company; and the appointment of Mrs. Smoot, former organizer of the league, as agent for the C. M. A. stores in Harlem.
Polishing Glassware
A final polish, just before glassware is placed upon the table, improves its appearance a hundredfold. Furthermore, like the preliminary wiping of a plate by the well-trained waiter, it suggests the highly desirable quality of absolute cleanliness. To bring out the natural brilliance of table glassware, use something soft, that will not scratch or leave pieces of lint upon the polished surface. An ideal polisher in the form of a hemstitched, square tissue, about the size of a handkerchief, may now be procured at trifling expense. Because of its soft, strong texture, this tissue polisher is preferred by many housewives to the old-fashioned linen cloth.

HOW TO LOOK Your Best
Appearance and the Job
THE wise girl realizes the importance that appearance plays in helping her to get and to hold a job. Competition is exceedingly keen now. The employer is confronted almost daily with any number of girls who are seeking work. It is left to him to choose. His choice is based largely on the girl's appearance. Bosses like to see their employees look clean and neat and attractive. A girl has many things to think about if she wants to make a good appearance.
She must arrange her hair becomingly; know how much make-up is necessary for her particular type; must keep her shoes and stockings in good condition; her nails must be manicured; her clothes must be neat and spotted.
It is not an easy job, but it is one that pays. A girl who is always neat and clean is stamped as having personal pride, a trait quite necessary in the business world.

Glad to Endorse New and Different Medicine That Gave Long Sought Relief.
It is what a medicine does that counts; not the promises made for it. Konjola is a medicine of deeds, not wives. One can surely put faith in a medicine seven million bottles of which were used in two years. That's Konjola's record!
MRS. NANNIE DIGGS.
Remember that among Konola's 22 ingredients are the juices of 22 roots and herbs long known for their medicinal worth. All these ingredients work together, and each has its own mission to perform in combating the lilies that Konola is designed to relieve. Take, for example, the experience of Mrs. Nannile Diggs, for 30 years a practical nurse, who lives at 24 West 134th street, New York. Read what she says about Konola and then visit the Konola Man nearest you to get the facts. There is a Konola Man store, 51st street at Broadway New York, and another at the Hanover drug store, $99 Bridge street, near Fulton, Brooklyn. But right now read the words of Mrs. Diggs:
"For five years I had constipation, pain in my back and stomach trouble. I took many medicines, but none helped me. After meals my stomach swelled with gas, and my back palmed so I couldn't bend over. But when I had taken two bottles of Konjola I knew I had found the right medicine. I took five bottles in all, and pain is gone and I can eat anything I want. Konjola acted as a splendid tonic, too, building me up in general.

There is a Konjola Man at the Whelan drug store, Slist street and Broadway, New York one at the Hanover drug store, 399 Niles street, near Fulton, Brooklyn; another at Whelan drug store, Sutphin Blvd, and Jamaica avenue, Jamala, L.

Konjola is sold by all Liggett, Walgreen, Whelan, McKesson Service, Davis and Whelan drug stores, and by all leading drugstores throughout the Greater New York area.

"I HAVE PLENTY OF MEN TO DANCE WITH NOW"
(A True Story From Life)
"For a long time I never was popular. When I went to a dance, which was seldom, I used to sit around and wish some fellow would ask me to dance. Not many of them did. I could dance pretty good and I just didn't see why they gathered around other girls but seemed to pass me by. It worried me and made me very unhappy, so one day I asked one of my best friends for the reason. She told me frankly that it was because my skin was dark, coarse and covered with pimples...she said this made me unattractive. She also told me how to improve my condition quickly and surely.
SHE TOLD ME HOW TO CLEAR UP MY SKIN
"I followed my friend's advice. I went to a drug store and bought a package of genuine Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap and started using them that very night. I continued the treatment faithfully...and I was encouraged to see my dark, pimply skin become clearer, smoother and lighter each time I used this amazing Black and White skin treatment.
MY PRETTY SKIN HAS MADE ME POPULAR
"Now I am the happiest girl on earth. No longer do I sit around home waiting for popularity. I go to all the dances, lots of men dance with me, and I am one of the most popular girls in my crowd. I owe this all to Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap and to my friend who told me about these wonderful preparations. My skin is as smooth as a baby's, all the bumps and pimples are gone and my complexion is many, many shades lighter than my fondest dreams ever hoped."

CHRISTMAS is only two weeks off and many of us have far from completed our purchases, due, perhaps, to the fact that we are puzzled as to what to get, or what to get it with.
The times are hard. We may not be able to give as expensive gifts as we wish, but we can give useful ones. Give less fancy garters, nut dishes, gaudy ties and book marks. Give more stockings, socks, underwear, handkerchiefs, gloves and other necessities.
Don't forget the poor. Buy apples and help both the one selling and yourself. Don't forget the neighbor's little child whose parents are too poor to buy him a toy.
Give this year for the sake of helping and you'll find happiness yourself.
Dear Kay:
Of course, you can't give your boy friend an expensive present if you're only a school girl. Even if you were working, it wouldn't be good taste. Why not invite the boy over for Christmas dinner and see that you do your share in helping your mother to prepare it? If you must give him a gift, a good book is always a proper present.

Every Colored child should have a Colored Doll, and Santa Claus will find it easy to make his selections, so that every child will be happy on Christmas morning.—Advt.

Grape and Pecan Salad.
Dip white grapes into water that has just stopped boiling for one-half minute; plunge into cold water. Skim; make a tiny opening and remove the seed. Put into a French dressing to marinate. Just before serving, drain and insert in the place of the seed a tiny piece of pecan or other nut. Serve very cold on lettuce or romaine with French dressing.
2 cupfuls sugar
2 cupfuls boiling water
Pour the water over the sweetening, add the berries and cook ten minutes. Cool. Put into a mold, cover tightly and pack in ice and salt for four hours. If preferred, the mixture may be strained before cooling. It may be frozen in a freezer by occasionally scraping from the sides and not turning it. Use metal parts of ice and salt for packing.
Household Hints
IF you have a few minutes in which to polish your tarnished table silver, place it in a dishpan of warm water to which three heaping tablespoons of soap powder and the same amount of household ammonia have been added. Allow the silver to soak for ten minutes and then dry it.
Rag rugs that have been washed should be put through a thin starch and allowed to dry flat. This will keep them clean a long time.
Fasten the oilcloth that you have on her kitchen cabinet shelves with thumb tacks, which can be easily removed and which will not split the thin shelf board.
When two glasses become wedged together, stand them in warm water and pour cold water into the inside glass. By this method they will be quickly separated.

In Memoriam
**BAZIER** - In memory of our nainted mother and grandmother, Laura Frazier, who entered into eternal rest one year ago, December 14, 1922.
Her weary hours and days of pain,
Her troubled nights are past;
Her ever patient, worn out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.
She suffered much, she murmured not,
We watched her day by day.
But, oh! the bravery of our hearts
To see her pass away.
Her worthy deeds may not appear
On Fame's eternal page;
No record of her kind career
May grieve one leaf of age.
But she shall live when time departs
Because, by love possessed,
She wrote her name upon the hearts
Of those who loved her best.

$3 There Are $3 Many Reasons
Why you should consult Dr. Doyle when you are suffering. Among them: 1—Forty years' experience in Clinica, Hospitals and private practice. 2—A thorough physical examination with an X-Ray Fluorescopic examination and chemical and microscopic examination of the blood, urine, sputum when needed. 3—You talk your own language. 4—You are examined and treated by Dr. Doyle, not by more attendants. 5—Dr. Doyle is aided in his treatments by the best electrical and scientific instruments and apparatus money can buy. 6—When you go to Dr. Doyle you are not asked to pay exorbitant fees. 7—You are asked to pay $200 for your equipment and not fancy fees of $200 to $300 paid down before anything is done to you.
Among the diseases Ibr. Doyle succeeds, catarrhal deftness, diseases of the lungs, stomach, liver, gland blindness, rheumatism, high and low blood pressure, piles without operation, varicose diseases of men and women.

DECLARES REASONING
LEADS MANY TO GOD
"The growth of reason does not necessarily lead to atheism, for numerous leaders of thought have reasoned their way into a belief in God," declared the Rev. Ethelred Brown, pastor of the Hubert Harrison Memorial Church, in an address Sunday afternoon before the Young People's Conference at the West 135th street Y. M. C. A.
"We are going to have to accept the scientific spirit of facing first the facts of life, and then theorizing about God instead of theorizing about Him first and concerning ourselves with human only as an after thought," the minister declared.

BestAmuseme in Greater Ne
A MONUMENT
By The Editor.
TO men and women who look life squarely in the face, see its serious side and refuse to be swayed in the unimportant things which force themselves upon us, the attempt to create and foster such an association as the Florence Mills' Memorial Theatrical Association is something that should carry an appeal to people in and out of the profession as a sort of art. The thinking Negro in the world of the theatre has tried to carry on, hoping to reach that ray of light in his existence which would bring his brothers from the slough of deep despond to that place where all can once and at once feel the secure that can ganization standing solidly behind him.
Time after time efforts have been made to create such an organization, but in the scheme of things they have been so far so far the friends of the Negro profession have been inclined to become discouraged when such a large body of people seem to find it a physical imposition, and for all lay the-foundation of an organization that will raise them in the estimation not only of their own people, but the people of other regions, where these things are necessary for the creation of such an organization have been pointed out from time to time, hence we would consider it superior to the efforts of which few are without full knowledge. Enough of optimism has remained to imbu the liberty of the people in the profession of plant to plant the seed of such an organization, asking only that the members of the profession give that care and culture to the seed so that all plants can be planted, the glory of a well-nurred plant spread wide its branches so that the faithful can find realization, making unnecessary the constant resort to another which is the "free of hope."
Taking a leaf from the book written in those days when men and women like George Washington, Bert William Cole and Johnson, Ernest Hogan and the rest of that noble brigade carried on, a number of the people of the stage came together an effort to form a band with that determination born on a new day which leaves them marking the first milestone on their way and still struggling to drive home the necessity of burying for all time personal grievances, and coming together to erect a monument in which enough glory will be found to remember the importance of Mills is written in letters of gold, which even time itself will not be able to erase.
Be it said to the eternal credit of those men who continue to cling tenaciously to the sense of esteem, monument in the shape of an association that will react to the good of the majority and not to the personal gratification and not to the individual, that they will be armed with their convictions. To be able to feel the sincerity of purpose of the people and appreciate what they have gone through in carrying on in behalf of the association, must be single in which season and out of season and share their joys and sorrows.
If today we have taken the burden and the liberty of appointing ourselves one to attempt to bring more forcefully to the people as a whole the necessity of supporting this association, it comes because of an undying gratitude for the appreciation for that warm friendship, respect, and encouragement which we have received from the leading minds of the zero that day, from whom that day when first we decided to enter this field in which we are at present engaged, enjoying a liberty of expression seldom accorded one in this life, and whose contact with the people of the stage.
We bespeak for the Florence Mills' Theatrical Association the consideration of every way in which performance of these lines, and even evil thinking man and woman in the community desirous of seeing another outstanding mark of progress which would be a success of the success of this organization.

"Scrapping the Famous Lewis Scrapbook"
BY THE EDITOR
The toonsters being forced to "scrap the Scrapbook" of our good friend Theophilus Lewis this week. Mr. Lewis' contribution was another epic, but one which deals with something we consider entirely foreign to the theatre, and being that we are in a position to present some exclusive matter on activities in that particular line to which these pages are devoted, we hope that readers will for some time be indulgent and wait until next spring. Mr. Lewis will blossom forth again with an eye focused and a pen directed to the facts and foliages of the people in the world of the theatre.
BILL ROBINSON TELLS
SOME DANCE SECRETS
There are at least four ways to do every tap step and in many cases as high as eight. Such is the edict of Bill Robinson, who is now conducting dancing classes on the stage of the Liberty Theatre after the Wednesday and Saturday matinees of "Brown Buddies."
A little twist of the腿, a funny gesture and a forward movement—but the step remains the same. To prove his statement Mr. Robinson's afternoon to last most dancers a lifetime. Even Adeladeh Hall, whom he taught all sorts of routines, confessed that she was doing one step four ways while, until recently, she thought she had mastered four difficult moves. Dorothy and Fauna Stone, Ruby Kaster and dozens of others, who have been taught their taps from Bill don't know that many of the best tricks they do are merely a variation of another step. She was only because some of his pupils were so backward that Mr. Robinson confessed a long withheld secret. He believed that, by making it clear the step none of the pupils seemed to grasp was an exaggeration of one they already knew that they would get into a swing or a sooner. And he was right. They did.
As usual, there were quite a number of stage folk around watching Bill teach his class, and these onlookers insisted that he did, showing that one dance he does in 'Brown Buddies' is the same step over and over again, and yet not one person, including the professionals, ever colors children from the Harlem public school, the honor pupil, are his guests every Saturday afternoon. After the show they are given dancing lessons free, and they seem to enjoy them more than Bill. He is estimated about less than a thousand expert tapsters learned all their stuff from Mr. Robinson. He seems to never tire teaching anyone who asks. He is probably the most patient instructor the world has ever known.
and doing something concrete in behalf of this organization the reader will appreciate how weak are the students. He drives home the message carrying the appeal in behalf of this association.
To those members in the profession that have for the moment been swayed by emotions superinduced by who would destroy when they find the need to work on the whole works, we ask that they in silent contemplation consider the possibilities in prospect in support of this theatrical association when they also consider the number of men who give of their moral and financial resources to lasting monuments which tell of the progress of a people.
Monuments of this kind are not built on foundations laid by those who are forever shouting from the earth, nor are they a mere archeeur; nor by those who, standing in the presence of death, would seek to take from the dead that glory modestly earned by directing attention to the dead built by such as Lindbergh, who in the silence of night and in his own silence set out into the unknown dancers and found upon the coming shore a thing to civilization which the youth of America will hold on high as a symbol of those things to which we must aim in doing our share to the earth. In the minds of the American people which none can desecrate or destroy, and so should be that monument to Florence Mills, which should be Florence Mills' Theatrical Association.

Miller and Lyles Reunited in 1st Appearance at Lafayette
The world's greatest colored comedy team—Flourney Miller and Aubrey Lyles—are reunited again. This great team achieved fame and fortune together and when they met at the company and go their own ways, there was much shaking of heads in the theatrical profession and countless expressions of regret from their many thousands of admirers, both colored and white. During the year they went to Africa and Miller wrote the comedy for "Blackbirds."
The pressure of their friends, however, as well as their own realization that they were at their best when acting together, caused these famous comedians to once again team up. And they celebrated their reunion than to appear together at the Lafarette Theatre. This they will do during the week be-
By De Braganza
HAVE always found that a person seeking to enter the good graces of a man who always knock upon the back door of his late Henry S. Creamer at one time designated as a "kitchen complex"—that peculiar something in the makeup of parasites and sycophants always ill at ease in the parlor.
In an interview with Bill Robinson, the featured dancer who delightfully engages the entertainment of the hundreds nightly at the Liberty Theatre in "Brown Buddies," such a case was vividly recalled when the dancer waxed livid in speaking of a number of parasite newspapermen who seek by chance to go into the graces but who he emphatically repudiates.
Robinson had in mind the case of one of them who no doubt thought he was making a hit with him when he traded it for unleashed unleashed tirade of illification upon dramatic editor of The Amsterdam News in an out-of-town paper last week. "I am not seeking the praise of that kind of writer," said Robinson, "essentially incident and garnishee it with a pack of lies because they think that I am antagonistic to the writer on The Amsterdam News with whom I have appeared and stage numberless appear and with whom I will again appear on the stage.
"A picture of this fellow Dougherty running from the Lafayette Theatre after his last benefit hands me a big bag. We were both busy gagged in our dressing room the theatre and it was long, long after the performance when he was through getting his receipts in order when he left the Lafayette. To show can cockock just to see some people can cockock just to see on the stage and you will see two stage hands with a strangle hold on the same Dougherty, holding him until time for me to go on as I have a few new want him to see. "If these fellow Dougherty and I alone and give the attention to their work which he gives and which has made him such a big fellow in the game, they would do all I can to help the unemployed situation, and when we work together we can do a great deal. Have you ever noticed that I am always on Dougherty's benefits? All right, see Dougherty's skill of spying glasses to find Dougherty. I am giving at the Alhambra Theatre next Sunday night, and if you hear us in an argument, whether from the audience or the stage, just keep your off of the bar, for the two of us are liable to turn on you and eat you without salt."
Naturally, this attitude of Bill Robinson will prove to the very owners of the paper maintaining such writings, the one who was not present at the Inaugural Sunday night, November 23, and based his sensational (?) story on what he had heard, that if Dougherty should pitch the paper from The Amsterdam News truck from which he was allowed to be delivered by the biased same Dougherty, they should not hold it against him, for it is anxiomatic that a man will not contribute to the strength of his enemy if he can help Vilification bordering the helpless Hopes dangerous, hence writers should try and adhere to the truth when covertly striking at their superiors.

winning Saturday, Dec. 13, in what gives
these experts the highest hopes, ever seen.
The dramatic editor of this paper was largely responsible for the reunion of Miller and Lyles, Irvin Miller, Flourney's brother, also had a hand in that happy event, and Irvin is particularly the one who is producing the show which will be presented at the Lafayette next week. Miller has selected for this show a howling, lavishly produced musical comedy called "Red Pastures." Some of the scenes will burlesque the great stage drama which is now on Broadway, including a violent cast, including a group of thirty singers, in rehearsal for the show.

Amos 'n' Andy Picture Also at the New Douglas Theatre
An announcement which fairly boasts with pride comes from the management of the duke, who that Duke Ellington and the famous bard will make a personal appearance on the stage of the theatre during the five days beginning December 13. The duke will present for this extraordinary appearance is the fact that during those five days the New Doughs will present Amos 'N' Andy in their first talking picture "Check and
Elimington's band played all of the incidental music in *Check and Check*, and played during one of the most important scenes. The management thought, and rightly, that Hammett taking picture fans from the stage would have to have this famous band perform on the stage of the New Douglas Theatre during the time that the Amos 'n' Andy picture was being
sound. It is certainly worth mentioning that this will be only the second motion picture theatre at which Ellington and his band have appeared. They have seven appearances away and now they are Theatre at the New Douglas-Herlery largest and finest motion picture theatres.
It is almost impossible to describe the magic with which Ellington's band plays. Ellington is a wonderful comedian. The band includes three cornetists, who play music so sweet and so soft that it can frequently be mistaken for the human voice. Where necessary, the same cornetists forth in demeaning and melodious volume at the Lafayette Theatre, they were forced to play eight and nine numbers each time they appeared—until Ellington had to explain to the audience that the band could play no more. The audience imagined that they would happen when the thousand which can be accommodated into the New Douglas Theatre at time hear this greatest of orchestras play "Ellington's conception of the St. Louis Blues" ofWords, Tiger Rag, Bells, or any of the famous theme songs for which this band
"THE COSTELLO CASE" AT
BOOSEVIEW THEATRE
"The Costello Case" is told with thrilling suspense at the Roosevelt Theatre on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 11 and 12. Bristol with his wife and his brother and skillfully acted by a celebrated cast, "The Costello Case" must be set down as a powerful dramatic picture of the underworld. Gilled by the police and examined by a baffling murder, Mollette (Lola Lane) denies any knowledge of the Costello's killer. Captain Saunders (William Davidson) leads the merciless cross-examination, with Patricia Turner (Mary Kelley) the victim's body, an important link in the solution of the crime. A intense scene from "The Costello Case," the thrilling tale of the underworld on Saturday, Sunday and dark intrigues of reckless outlaws. Racal Walsh's "The Big Trail," Fox Moviesone production which will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and the most important picture this writer has yet seen.

STORM AT THE DEOON
Most scenes of wildest jewelry, the Zappelin CBP-55, owned by the young milliner, Jimmy Wade, was totally unaware of the storms during a terrific storm. A masked ball was in progress and all the guests were forced to jump for their lives. A peculiar beyond description, dwarfing all they caught by the camera and microphone, tensely dramatic, and perfect enclosed by a cast of hundreds, unsettling Kay Johnson, Roland Young, and Ben B. Leshlin's greatest screen production will be shown at the Odeon Theatre Thursday and Friday.

Florence Mills Association in Splendid Meet Last Tuesday
---
One of the largest gatherings that ever turned out to a meeting of the Florence Mills' Theatrical Association was on hand last Tuesday evening. At the conclusion of remarks made by the officers and other gentlemen in the audience called upon, refreshements were served. At the conclusion of the remarks made by the majority of the speakers it would seem that new life has been injected into the organization and a firmer spirit of carrying in face of all obstacles was evident. A concerted drive to bring the association to a more prominent place in the affairs of Negro actors has been planned, with intensive efforts on foot, to bring into the organization the man and woman of the profession. Those responsible for carrying on the work have already passed a year at their labors, during which time they have gone through many of the disappointments which have many of them faced in the endeavor in the past, but with everything pointing to what appears to be
Pretty Soft for the Dramatic Editor
MART
BEFORE LEANING that pretty head on his shoulder, charming Alma Smith of the "Brown Buddies" demanded that The Amsterdam News dramatic editor smile, but he said it was a serious proposition for him to be surrounded by such pretty and charming young ladies. On the left is Ada Brown, one of the stars of "Brown Buddies"; Leola Lillard, Adelaldo Hall, co-star with Bill Robinson in "Brown Buddies"; the editor himself, Alma Smith and "Little Bo," who is Mrs. Bill Robinson. The picture was taken at the Scrapbook Costume Ball of The Amsterdam News last Saturday night at the Almbra.
a successful culmination of those very efforts optimism pervades the atmosphere and the spirit of good fellowship is never marred during the nights when members of the association gather to engage in friendly games, and that light banger themselves will strike a discordant note is very noticeable. Many females are also taking advantage of the opportunity to ally themselves at the meeting last Tuesday night there was quite a gathering of the young women of the profession. In speaking of the association to a representative of the Amsterdam the leading members asserted that if for nothing else than the sacrifices which the president, Irvin G. Miller, made trying to keep the organization together, a majority of them were here when full and undivided confidence will be given him, and he has shouldered the responsibility of bending every effort to elicit the aid not only of performers but of some leading minds of the community.
The New York Amsterdam News
"BLACKBIRDS" CLOSED
"WILL GO INTO REHEASALS"
As predicted in these columns last week by the announcement that Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" will be leaving these shores in May, the show closed its engagement at the Royale Theatre and will immediately go into rehearsal. The announcement of the closing of the show will not be a surprise to those following the trend of the times, for it has been no secret that the "birds" are among those caught by the present depression and were playing to a loss of confidence. In an interview with a representative of The Amsterdam News Mr. Leslie stated that after two weeks of weeding out and infecting new life into those places where he feels it is possible to thrive, he told the Double. Will such stars as he now has under his wing the Number Two company of "Blackbirds" went into a successful run of three months in the Quaker City last year, hence it is predicted that the show will repeat the success of Boston.
Despite the losses which he must have sustained in trying to make it on Broadway this season, Leah will be very proud of Philadelphia opening with enthusiasm, in early May "Blackbirds" will leave for London to fail contracts which it is said will also take them through the seasons after a run at the British capital.
A Carey-Davis Show at The Lafayette Theatre
An unusually excellent musical comedy revue is being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week under the title "Harlem to Spain." The comedy, by Addison Carey and Charlie Davis. Aside from the work of Bill Robinson, the spirited dancing of the chorus was one of the features of the show most favored and commended upon by the newspaper critics. "Harlem to Spain" is a thoroughly enjoyable revue in five very well comedic roles, including a hull, a New York city dock, an ocean-going liner, a street in Seville and a cabaret in that city. The cast of Harlem to Spain' in the east: Shelton Brooks, Henry Jines, Serilier Johnson, Pete and Peaches, Angelina and Santeta Rivers, Anita Small, the Two Brown Aces, Carey's sister, the two Brown Aces, Marshall's twelve Cars of Harmony. With such a cast in the hands of two such able producers as Carey and Davis, small wonder that "Harlem to Spain" is such extraordinarily delightful.
There are two items on the talking picture program which are worthy of unusual mention. One is the features. This is "The Bad Man," the fascinat- ing movie about a man who is the greatest of stage plays. Walter Huston enacts the role of the lovable and desperate Mexican bandit, who spreads cheer and joy into the hearts of the deserving and is mercellous in his treatment. The second unusual item is a highly enjoyable ten-minute Vitaphone act called "Temple Bells." Eddie Green, the noted colored comedian, and Ted Blackman are in the cast. Blackman enacts the role which he does better anything else—that of a Chimam.
CRAWLEY HEADS BILL AT
ALHAMBRA THIS WEEK
Wilton Crawley provides the "high spot" of the Alhambra Theatre's musical comedy "Razzie-Dazzie" this week. Just in town from his tour, Wiltons amount-of-time thunder-storm jazz" as the press agent calls him, is performing seemingly incredible feats. But there's much besides Wilton Crawley's comment. Sunshine Sammy's partner, Little Joey, with his pal, Peevee, acquit themselves so well that the audience will not let them go until they are exhausted, never as funny as they are this week. Doreth Hoyle, a beauty from Connell's Inn, brings her Oriental dances to add a touch of the mysterious East. Its best, and the dainty Chain Twins have an attractive sister act. It all ends with a lively competition by the Linda Hop Four, nimbly stepping into the role of the audience. George Snowden and Easeline Hinton compete with George Ganway and Pasy Perment and both couples are cheered on by the delighted audience. Or the Fog, a girl who defies her father to marry the man she loves. There is whoopee in high society, while death stalks in the old lighthouse back home. Last, after the "fog" comes sunshine.

AFTER SUCCESSFUL TRIP
Sam Manning returned to New York on Monday after a most successful trip to South America and the West Indies. In speaking of Manning the Bermuda ballroom said:
"Mr. Sam Manning and his troupe gave their farewell performance at St George's last night. On Thursday night Mr. Manning played at the Colonial Opera House and numbered many entertaining thousand persons.
"His season here has been a short one, but it has been a most successful one, the programs being varied sufficiently in selection to prevent the monotony of the usual routines. Manning's assistants left for New York this morning. He will be a passenger on the Bermuda on Tuesday. Mr. Manning expects to return to Bermuda in the not too distant future."

SPLENDID FEATURES AT
RENAISSANCE THIS WEEK
"Up the River," a smashing, fast and gay Fox Movetones hit, with an all-star cast, will be one of the two splendid attractions at the Renafiance Theatre Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. This is a funny story of prison life, of a flock of birds in a glided case. It has its love angle, too. Fast action, thrills and a host of wiscracks provide one solid hour of excellent entertainment. The other feature is "A Lady Surrenders," with Conrad Nagen and Genevieve Tobin. Nancy Carroll in "Laughter" with Frederic March, comes to the Renaissance for four days only, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 14, 15 and 16. Here we see Nancy Carroll in one of the most prized and powerful roles of her career. The management has decided the December Horoscope for these four days. This is a highly interesting table in which the meaning of the stars is clearly and accurately foretold. If you were born in December you will be especially interested in knowing what the stars mean to you.

Choir Sings
Sad-dy Night Songs
Ever since about three years ago when the Hall Johnson Negro Choir made its first appearance in a regular New York concert downtown, when the critics considered it one of the most important discoveries of that season, and when it was given unqualified endorsement by some of the greatest musicians, these singers have been drawing attraction for tremendous audiences. In spite of several other unusual concerts in the theatre district, the Mansfield apprehended a large crowd which apprehended enthusiastically at the concert given by this choir Sunday night.
The personnel—twenty-seven in number—which was composed almost entirely of new voices, gave one of the best performances ever heard from the choir. It is indeed remarkable how the distinguished director Mr. Johnson, can in so short a time of five or six weeks, group of people to sin, with such fervor, group of clarity, precision of attack and presentation of emotional content of songs to so sweep listeners of their feet.
The program Sunday evening included songs that have not been heard before on the concert stage and they were called Sad-dy Night songs. They were "Goin' Down Dat Lonesome Road." "Miss Molly," "Eastman," and "St James Infirmary Blues." This last mentioned, as stated on the printed program, made its metropolitan bow recently under this title, but variants of it have been familiar in the South under many different names and, in much musical form, bears no resemblance to the typical Negro blues, the feeling of epic tragedy that exudes from the ghastly narratives it to the resect of lovers of the blues idiom. The indicative arrangement of this number was one of the most effective contributions.
Many of the old favorites, such as "Hold On," "Witness," "Trumptin" "Ezekiel Saw de Wheel" and others were on the program. Other new numbers were "Lonesome Valley" and "It's All Over Me." An encore group was as usual demanded by the insistent audience.
The solists were Mayme Richardson and Winfred Gordon, sopranos: Rhodenia Jamison, also: Leslie Coles, Ulysses Elam, Harold Foster, tenors: William Bowers and Ernest Shaw, bartonnes: Edward Broadhax and J. B. Cato, basses.
They will sing Monday evening at Rutgers College in New Brunswick, N. J.

Heappear on the all-star program presented by the Abyssinian Presbyterian Church Lysium Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock are Anna Pinckney, Edna Brown Salmon, pianists: Alice V. Watkins, Miss H.

EMBRY BONNER, a pupil of Caska Bond, had an unusual opportunity on Thursday evening. Several personages, all white, arranged for him to have an audition before Samuel Chotzinoff, music critic of The New York World, in the studio at 580 St. Nicholas avenue. Mr. Chotzinoff was unable to come to Harlem for the occasion, but he sent Jime Elsie Arden, noted voice coach and Parisian grand opera director. Mr. Bonner sang artisans from several grand operas, including "Faust," "La Boheme," "Pagliacel" and the entire third act of "Aida." His group of French songs included Poldiok's "Dans la Gigue" and Bemburg's "Il Neige." Hugo Bornn was the able accompanist at the piano. Mime. Arden, among other things, said Mr. Bonner's voice is one of the few Negro voices suited for grand opera.
The group interested in sponsoring Mr. Bonner, and who showed interest by coming to this audition, included Mrs. Emily Vanderbilt Davies; Alan Priest, collector and curator of the Chinese Department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and Kenneth Raiskeck, author of a forthcoming play called "Rock Me Julle," in which Helen Mencken and Paul Munie are starred.
feeling and sensitivity to artistic emotional impulses.
Mr. Richmond began the program with three Italian songs, of which Caccin's "Amarilla, Mila" was first followed by Handel's "Col Raggi Plecid" and Mozart's "So Vulb Balare" from "Figaro."
British numbers consisted of "The Little Red Lark" by Stanford; "Dinna Ask Me" by Steere; "Ould Doctor Ma Glin" by Lohr.
The third group contained German lieder "Als Die Alte Mutter" by Dvorsak and Rachmannino's "Hier Ist es Schon." Massenet's "Vision Fugitive," also in this group, was one of the leaver numbers on the program.
He sang next Burleigh's "By and By"; Dawson's "Talk About a Child"; Do Love Jesus; and Johnson's "Up on the Roof." The last being very beautiful rendered; Schubert's "Who Is Sylvia?" and two Russian songs, "Song of the Flea" and "The Siege of Kazan," by Moussorgory, concluded the program. Mr. Richmond was best in the last number.
Grace Eleanore Allison proved an able piano accompanist.
Young Pianist
Thelma Ingraham, the talented 14-year-old piano pupil of Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell, was presented in a recital by the M. Caltary M. E. Church choir Thursday evening.
The audience was small and very late in assembling. Nevertheless, the recitalist showed no concern about the performance, very much pleased in carrying out her part of the program. She would have no doubt inspired many of the younger pianists who should have heard her play.
The talent and ability of this pupil indicate that she will some day become an outstanding pianist if she continues in this channel of conscious study. She showed encouraging improvements since her reitalal almost two years ago.
She offered compositions from Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bennett, Moscowski and Dett.
Miss Harriet Johnson is president of the choir, of which Prof. Caldwell is organist and director. The Rev. E. W. Rakestraw is pastor of the church.
Many Hear
The Ladies Progressive Club of Grace Congregational Church presented the S. Coleridge-Taylor Concert Ensemble, with John H. Long as conductor, in a program Sunday afternoon at the church.
This orchestra, composed of some of our leading instrumentalists, already organized, will perform the program, the coherence and balance of an organization of long standing. They rendered, among several other numbers, Schubert's "Rosamunde" overture and allegro moderato from "Unfinished Symphony." Salent-Saens "Serenade," and Herbert's "Alte de Ballet."
Two of the most enjoyable numbers were the Kramer composition, "In Elizabethan Days," Opus 32. No. 2, for strings and a group of spirituals. The spirituals violin and duo cluets, consisted of My Lord, "that a Mormon, who was dead and an angel," "Nobody Knows de Tale Seen." were played by Felix P. Weil and H. Leonard Jeter, the soloists of the ensemble. A large audience showed its hearty appreciation. The Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor, made commendatory remarks to the orchestra. Mrs. Nettle H. Terry is president of.
the club; Mrs. Madelyn Henderson is chairman of the committee.
There are gr at possibilities within the recently organized ensemble known as the Chamhainde Glee Club under the direction of Mme. Emina Lyon Leonard. The club was heard in program at the Elks' Auditorium Friday evening.
The voices, many of which are good, blend well, but as yet their singing is lacking in warmth and motion.
There more practice and attention have been given to balance in voice arts, colorful phrasing and interpretation, the splendid material in this group will be used to a much greater advantage to all concerned.
Fay Canty, soprano, who sings with his group, demonstrated unusual artistic ability when she rendered "Uncle Di" from Puccini's "Butterfly" and Grieg's "Sunshine Song."
Others on the program were Gladysellers and Muriel Austin, pianists, Mary Powell, the choir accompanist for the thee club, is to be commended for sympathy and attention in her playing.
It is hoped that Mme. Leonard will continue her efforts with the club, as it seems to be an ensemble capable of high attainment.
To Come East
Hazel Harrison, distinguished plantist, received commendable criticisms from the Boston press on a recital recently given there in Jordan Hall. One criticism stated that her interpretation of the Chopin sonata was pleasingly robust, free from the langual poetizing that too often robs Chopin of inherent vigor and drama, and she was not not humming the large of the dailies. Miss Harrison has recently given private auditions for Ernest Hutchinson, Arthur Bodansky, Ella Strom Grainger and other noted artists, all of whom have adhere to her to come East, where wider musical contact and concert opportunities may be afforded while pursuing her studies. In all of the concert tours Miss Harrison has given, she says that the Eastern ones have been more beneficial, particularly from an artistic point of view. After completing a concert tour in January, Miss Harrison plans to make this city her home. She arrived here Monday foronorea for a few days' stay at the home of Dr. Gertrude Curtis, 188 West 135th street.
St. Philip's Presents "Ycung Musicians"
The first annual concert of the "Young Musicians" of St. Philip's P. E. Church was given in the church school auditorium on Friday evening. Each year the church school plans to present those students of its membership whose ability and achievements deserve management and the school. There were seven groups on Friday evening's program, which was opened by Maurice Graham, pianist, who played Liszta's "Lebostram." Handel's "Harmonious Blacksmith," and Chopin's "A Flat Ballade." Later he played another group, Including Schubert's "Macche Militare." For the second and seventh groups, Winston Collymore, violinist, played Burleigh's "Eventide." Kreisler's "Rondino" and Schosrin Marinus, De Borieti's "Adagio from Concerto No. 9," D'Ambrósio's "Cansonette" and Adenza from Concerto No. 22" and Vieuxtemps's "Ballade and Colonise."
Miss Ollie Deloach, soprano, sang for the third and fifth groups four songs, which included Ball's "Who Knows" Noll's Donn, "Brahme" T. Passed By Your Window, and Del Rigo's "Slave Song."
Edmund Fridle, 'cellist, played for the fourth group Marie's "La Cinquanteine," Thome's "Under Sheltering Leaves" and Beethoven's "Minuet
Mr. Graham has given three recitals and has broadcast for Stations WEAF and WJZ. Mr. Collymore has received a scholarship at the Institute of Musical Art, where he is studying at present. He has been heard over Stations WEAF and WJZ. Edmund Murray, St. John's School, which has granted him a scholarship to study with Joseph Emmons, first 'cellist of the Philharmonic Symphony' Orchestra. The committee of St. Philip's Church School, which presented this group of young artists, included Miss Marjorie Walton, chairman; Miss Jurel Abbott, Joanette Brown, Irenealy, Enid Elesson, Frances Jackson, Lady Poudreau, Mirtam Leilander and George Campbell, James Cavay, Vincent, Deane, and John Velasco.
The New York local branch of Negro Musicians met at the Martin-Smith Music School on Sunday evening. A talk on the psychology of teaching children was given by Thela Brunson, after which four of her pupils rendered the following numbers: "Fur Else" by Beethoven, Pearl McLeod: "On the Meadow" by Lichner, "Nalse in D Flat" by Chopin, Sallie C. Lipscomb: "Hungarian Stude" by McDowell, Olivia Pleasant: "The Butterfly" by Grieg. "Etude in C Minor, Opus 10, No. 12, Chopin, Enna Mitchell.
The Schubert Music Club concert scheduled to take place on Sunday Dec. 14, at Rush Memorial Church, has been postponed until a later date. E. H. Margeison is the director.
The Education Department of the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. is stressing this as a time for preparation. Many girls and boys in the job are of necessity working more than one-half or one-third of the time now. Ordinarily, life in New York is so hectic and hurried that there is no time for extra activity. This may be for many people a good opportunity to learn power machine operation, or to learn the craft of lamp shade making or to

A Good Radio Set
A good radio set, according to the manufacturer, should have the following features:
"We might define the first," he commenced, "as that ability of a radio set which renders it possible to convert the incoming wave to a loud signal free from interference and similar to the original rendition. The sense of hearing is very deceptive. We must make a very careful test when deciding on this first and most important qualification. Almost all of the experience similar to the following: Mrs. Smith's set is returned to her from the shop, having been repaired. The set is perfect. She claims that the tone has been spoiled. The regalman takes the set and returns it to the shop for another day. It is returned without a thing being done to it. Mrs. Smith is delighted with the exquisite brilliant, new tone. This is quite a frequent occurrence. So—we must be on tooes in making our tone comparables.
Testing for Quality.
"Have the dealer place three or four sets that you believe answer other characteristics side by side," the service man continued. "Have him tune in a set that you believe answer the same set in a heat of life." Have him tune all the sets to this station and turn them off. Now, ask him to disconnect the antenna from all but one set. Then ask him to connect alternately the same antenna to the other set, and then to the same times. You will note a great difference of tona.
"It is better to have it disconnect the sets in this fashion than to turn the electric set a while to heat the time is lost changing from one set to the other. Eliminate them one by one until you have only two sets left to choose between. Turn away from the heat." If you follow this procedure you will pick the set best adapted to your particular hearing. It is important to have sets tuned to the same station, to have the sets close together and to make a true selection.
"Secondly, we come to mechanical stability. This is the most difficult decision to make. Manufacturers themself recognize the importance, but at a moment they expect will stand up, only to have much unforeseen trouble develop after it has been in the field for a period of time. Perhaps the best way of finding out is to ask the service desk he has the least number of service calls on.
"The third point, interest, we might define as follows: That ability of a station in the exclusion of all others."
Keeping the Others Out
This service man says you should use the dealer to tune in some of the low-rate stations. You will hear a lot of cracking and shuffle, but don't worry. You will be in your home, depending entirely upon local conditions. It is best to make this test in the early evening hours when many stations are on. Have him start at the bottom of the scale and slowly increase the station and listening to it. Some

Many delightful plans are being made in all departments for Christmas festivities. The celebration this year will have the emphasis of service. The big general membership party, which comes on December 18, will be given as usual, but instead of exchanging gifts the members bring gifts, and abiding to be distributed to the unemployed. The girls in the Handicraft Club made beautiful scrapbooks for the children in Harlem Hospital and many other plans are on foot to bring cheer and happiness to others at Christmas.

Care of the FEET BY HORACE D. WORRELL Chiropodist
Ringworm of the Feet
BEFORE the World War, ringworm was considered as a mild child's disease that affected the scalp, leaving round patches of hairless spots on the head of the infected child. These scaly, hairless areas itched and annoyed, were looked upon as nothing very serious. Parents had a number of home remedies for ringworm, including sulphur ointment, vinegar in which a copper cent has been permitted to stand for a few minutes, and remedies were applied and in due time the itching disappeared. The bald spots were again replaced by a new growth of hair and the condition seiden: reappeared.
Since the war, new species of ringworm or vegetable fungi have come under the observation of bacterologists that are by no means a simple and easy matter to control and combat.
The greatest and most virulent of these fungi is known as Tinea Trichophyton, which is responsible for the condition so popularly known as "Athlete's Foot," or epidermophytes.
This particular micro-organism is responsible for about 85 per cent of the itchy eruptions, with scales and mascerations, appearing on the sores and nail folds, as well as beneath the toenails. The most common site seems to be between the fourth and fifth toe.
As a general rule, they very rarely extend any higher than the sides of the toenails, but bacteriologists and skin specialists now claim that they are finding this thema all over the body. And in many cases they are responsible for a number of swellings and eruptions hercofore attributed to other origins.

The Christmas Seal
BECAUSE of the intensive work done against tuberculosis throughout the world, the Christmas seal has become as symbolic of Christmas as the pine trees or Santa Claus. While many things are incident to this season of the year and are evidences of the happier side of this great celebration, both the sale and significance of the Christmas seal are probably second in importance only to the spiritual benefits of Christmas Day and what it stands for.
The work carried on by the Tuberculosis Association in the United States is financed almost solely from the receipts of the sale of these seals. The scope of the work, as carried on by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association through its Harlem branch during the past few years, has not only been to those who are suffering from tuberculosis. Dental clinics, health examinations, instruction, medical talks and the distribution of literature on tuberculosis and preventive medicine are a part of the work done by this organization. Under the auspices of this body a group of Harlem physicians, for three consecutive years, was given post-graduate work in tuberculosis and general medicine in the leading institutions of the city.
It occurs to me that the effort put forth by this community in the purchase of Christmas seals has never been commented with the never work done. The Tuberculosis Association is to our health what the Salvation Army is to our body and soul and should be supported just as liberally. This opportunity to help a worthy cause comes only once a year and at Christmas time.

A BLEEDER, scientifically called a "hemophilic," is a person whose blood takes a longer time to clot than that of the average person. In a bleeder it often takes several hours, while in the average person it takes only a few minutes. This condition is supposed to be hereditary, affecting the males of certain families, generally being carried through the female members. For example, a man who is a bleeder may have a son who is not a bleeder. His sister's son or his daughter's son may be bleeders. When extraction of teeth is necessary for bleeders, special precaution and preparation should previously be made, otherwise an extraction might prove dangerous. Therefore, the dentist or surgeon should be informed of patient's needs to be a bleeder. The prophylactic treatment is usually the administration of calcium lactate, or the injection of horse serum some few days before the operation or extraction.
If you have the tendency to bleed profusely after the slightest injury your blood should be tested to see how long it takes to clot, before any surgery is done. It is very unusual for women to be bleeders. One can readily understand that such a condition might be dangerous, because of the frequency of the menstrual periods, which are normal physiological bleeding periods. A woman bleeder might have great difficulty at such a time.
registrar to enroll boys who are desirous of joining the organization. Scoutmaster E. P. Taylor has taken over the troop at Columbus Hill. A new troop is being formed at Walker Memorial Church through the efforts of Sunday School Superintendent C. P. Dixon.
Sergeant Clarence Ellison of the 398th registered a new troop at Grace Congregational Church under the old troop number 774 with the following boys: John Cobbs, Fred Harris, Sedgewick Pleasants, James Ryan, Willim Simmons, Floyd Terry.
Scoutmaster Norman Cobbs enrolled last week as new members the following boys: William Bolling, Chester Campbell, Eugene Coats, Ernest Creque, Robert Duncan, Waymion Duncan, Dudley Edwards, Cyth Hunter, Erie Klyvert, Henry Skipwilt. Stanley Skipwilt, John Trey.
Scoutmaster E. G. Glaney registered with the following new boys: John Fincher, Edward Hope, William Hope, William Johnson, George Lewis.

Sister Minnie, Benefactress of Harlem's Poor, Waited for No Depression to Begin Relief Work
---
Angel of Streets Has Served Needy for Many Years
A KINDLY-FACED woman with a battered baby carriage. Her life for years has been wrapped up in relief for the poor. Sister Minnie Bedell did not wait for acute economic depression to reveal to her the misery of widows and orphans who failed or could not adjust themselves to the exacting demands of landlords or others who held their comfort and stability in the balance. To this street angel every day brings a new opportunity to mend a broken home, to do a good turn, and give a word of cheer.
Born in Richmond, Va., a good many years ago, Sister Minnie came to New York in 1900 to see what life here could offer her. She became an active church worker soon after her arrival, and it is to her religious impulses that her urge to serve can be traced, she claims. In recent years she has served the St. John's A. M. E. Church as a deaconess, and while holding that office she began to engage in the work that was to make her a familiar figure along the streets of Harlem.

The other part of the old team, her baby carriage, is also intact after five years of service.
"Like Lindbergh," she said Monday, "I call my team 'We.' And, though not as famous as the Lindbergh duet, her combination has worked remarkable wonders in their own way.

her combination has worked remarkable wonders in their own way.
Exchanged Hats for Food.
When she was getting her work on foot a few years back, Sister Minnie would canvass the hat shops in sections of the city as far away from Harlem as she could reach by walking behind her carriage. The milliners would give her hats, and the money she received in return was converted into staple foodstuffs, placed in baskets, and distributed free of charge to the needy families with which she came in contact.
They did not always have to seek her. Sometimes she heard of needy families from her friends or from police officers, and away she would go day or night, to investigate, often carrying supplies on her first visit when she believed she had been reliably informed that there was a pressing need.
But Sister Minnie no longer bees for hats. Must as some of her patrons wanted to help, she could not always meet the demands of the more fastidious of her customers, so she reasoned that she could do a better piece of work if she would buy her hats, getting a choice of the articles, and not just the discarded or out-of-date models that had been so cheerfully given her. Now she still piles the hat trade when she needs money for her work, and the results have proved that she was right in changing her methods.
When not engaged in this pursuit, her hands are not idle. The merchants of Harlem are visited and asked to contribute meats, groceries, flour, real, trust—anything they are willing to give to the poor.
"It makes me sad," said Sister Minnie, "that, while nearly all the white

**Forgets Own Needs.**
Undaunted by failure, she goes on and on, from shop to shop and from door to door, in all the seasons and in all kinds of weather. Sometimes she has no money at all, but she does not worry about that. With the abundance of energy at her command that makes her insensitive to the elements, she has abiding faith in her ability to get the bare necessities of life for herself without becoming mercenary. And when she gets more than this, it goes into the coffers of her charity work.
During last winter, when times were not quite as bad as they are today, Sister Minnie was spending from $18 to $20 a week to fill baskets for the poor. This year she is depending more upon the gifts of dealers, since there are so many families in distress that she does not have the time to

"Brothers and Sisters" Help.
Three months ago, when she was getting her work in order for the fall and winter, a few of her friends offered to help her, and they formed the Stepping Stone Aid Society, with Sister Minnie as the "lifelong president." She rented an apartment on the ground floor at 131 West 133d street, where she lives, and set aside two rooms for the work of the newly founded group. Together with "Brother" Samuel F. Smith and "Sister" Mabel Hamilton, both of 161 West 133d street, and a few others, the work continues.
Seeing the large number of homeless men, Sister Minnie has been trying to find another apartment or tenement that she can fit up as a dormitory for these shelterless folk. Her efforts to do this have not yet succeeded, but she is still hopeful that some landlord will come to her rescue with suitable quarters.
In explaining her work on Monday, Miracle Minnie revealed that she has recently discovered that she is a poetess. At her headquarters she recited her poem, and the employment she had imposed herself the conclusion of the recitation she was asked to repeat a few stanzas of her verse slowly, so that it could be copied down. She smilingly declined to do this for, she explained, she has sent it to Washington to be copyrighted. When it returns she will publish it and sell it for the benefit of the men and women whose woes she recounts.
Sister Minnie has recently discovered families that are going through days as dark as her poem relates. The other night she was informed by a police officer that there was a family living on Bradhurst avenue with the father unemployed, the mother ill, and all of the seven chil-

dren living in a single room without any food. The officer told her that there was no food available at the station house. Immediately she sought out the family and gave them temporary relief. There was in Sister Minnie's apartment, as she related her story, a woman who is aged and who had been out of work for months. For two days she had not eaten a bit of food, and before that time she ate only at irregular intervals. She has not a tooth in her head. Sister Minnie minnie had food supplies she had on hand in order to worldly foods which could be digested without excessive mastication and gave them to the grateful old woman, who smiled through her wrinkles and emactulated features.

Not to be outdone by modern methods, Sister Minnie looks forward to the day when she will own a Ford truck and be able to go about the city quickly and collect food and clothing for the poor.
"I if had a truck," she said, "I could do a much greater work."
COUNCIL GETS ACTION
ON TRAFFIC SYSTEMS
The Eighth avenue traffic light system will be ready for operation in a few days, according to announcement made to the North Harlem Community Council on Friday by Philip D. Hoyt, first deputy police commissioner.
The Eighth avenue system extends from 110th to 155th streets. The St. Nicholas avenue system, which also extends to 155th street, has been completed, but the lighting company has been delayed in furnishing service. Mr. Hoyt said. The council, which has worked for months to get action on Harlem's traffic systems, was also informed that lights have been in operation on Lenox avenue between 137th and 145th streets since Dec. 1.

The Harlem convent, headed for the last seven years by Mother Theodora, superior, was organized in Savannah, Ga. twelve years ago by the Rev. Ignatius Lissner, white. The entire community was moved to New York six years ago so that it might cover a broader field. There are now twenty sisters in the convent, who carry on missionary work, conduct a soup kitchen for the needy, collect and distribute clothing, and engage in other forms of religious and charitable work as they discover opportunities. A limited number of homeless girls can be sheltered at the convent temporarily.
The home on Staten Island, established as a novitiate for the training of young women wishing to enter the service of the Catholic Church, was secured in August, 1929, and was formally opened one year ago Monday. The mother of novices, Sister Mary Dorothy, and the superior in charge of the house, Sister Mary Theresa, have ten young women in training who hall from California, Louisiana, Maryland, Illinois,

Massachusetts and New York. The home can accommodate twenty students.
Taking over an ordinary house, the league converted it into an establishment containing a chapel, a dormitory and rooms where religious instruction may be given. The course of training consists of two years. At the end of this period the young women return to the convent to be assigned to work by the mother superior.
The secular members of the Leagues of Our Lady of Good Counsel pay regular dues for the support of the work of the convent and the Staten Island home. In return for this they are given the spiritual benefits of masses and for the living and the dead. Poor priests receive small remuneration for saving these masses.
During the first six months the postulants wear only black veil, collar and cuffs. Upon the successful completion of this part of their training they receive "novice habit" after eighteen months the regular black veil is granted and worn for the final six months' period.

P. S. Track and Field Champs' Games Saturday
On Saturday afternoon, December 13, at 2 P. M., the Public Schools Athletic League will conduct the twenty-eighth annual elementary schools Indoor Track and Field Championship games at the 102d Combat Engineers' Armory, 168th street and Broadway, Manhattan. An entry of approximately 3,800 embryo champions has been received for the meet held on Saturday, December 13, K. Klinger, Director of Health Education, indicate that thousands of boys have been practicing running, jumping, shot-putting and relay racing in the school yards in anticipation that they may be selected to represent the school team in this championship.
The Public Schools Athletic League extends an invitation to the parents and the public at large to be given the opportunity to attend that they may witness for themselves the work which is being accomplished for the physical, mental and moral training of students in New York. No admission ticket will be required and it is the hope of the League that a large number of spectators will avail themselves of its opportunity to witness its exciting and thrilling athletic event.
KID CHOCOLATE THE GREAT
A SPORTS writer in the New York World uses up a column, telling all and then some about a featherweight fighter, white, from Hartford, Conn., whom they call the "battling name is the champion," and to defend his title, the writer says, on December 12, in Madison Square Garden, New York City, but writes nothing about it. The writer says nothing about the "Kid," and spends all his effort on telling us about Batalino; what a wonder he is, what Governor Trumbull concludes of him how Hawk connects to the "Bat" is going to "carry on for old Connecticut," etc.
Then at the bottom of the column, in a very last sentence, this is all the writer has to say about little black boxer, "Kid" Chocolate.
"That's the fellow "Kid" Chocolate has to meet."
In our judgment this is ten times more praise for Chocolate than for Battalina in the infirmity, and that the "Kid" did not have to be praised—did not need to be booster; for all the earth knows that Chocolate is terrific thing ever in its class. It reminds me of the verses of Alfred Tennyson, Poet Laureate of England, when he was trying to teach the children for winning the Battle of Waterloo, by calling him: "The Victor's Victor—and the Conqueror's Conqueror." Every impartial reader takes the Conqueror's victory Napoleon, who incidentally lost that battle. Also it reminds me that more than a quarter century ago, when Yale was both the first and the second to win the battle when victories were conceded to "The Blue" before the battle began. Brown University played Yale University, gridron, Whereupon Brown booster, put up monument on the spot:
Anybody can see that such a monument is chiefly a memorial to the prowess of Yale. "Faint praise" does not always "damn."

1930 CHAMPIONS
New Jersey School Took Nine Straight in Season Just Closed
BORDENTOWN, N. N. Dec. 4—The Bordentown Manual Training School football team shows a championship record for the 1930 season. The Wildcats, under the able coaching of W. W. Wood of Howard University fame, assisted by Charles Ray, former captain of the Bates College eleven, took on their traditional rivals and clawed them into submission in rotation. This team has not been defeated nor tied this season.
Although confronted with the problem of developing two first string ends and three first string backs as well as reserve material for all positions, the squad came through as delivered, using brass scholarships to beat the team in its section. The team worked up gradually to the Cheyney game when it cracked but came out victorious by a narrow margin. It reached its peak in the Thanksgiving Day classic when it won a powerful Storner College team 18-2.
Not only was the team a winner but it showed marked scoring power as evidenced by a total of 284 points in the opposing team. The teams attack was varied. A good running supplemented by a bewildering passing attack kept all opponents guessing. The whole first string was strong, but the outstanding players were: Gibbs, half-back; Chavis, full-back; Rollison, end; Jackson, tackle, and Atwell the "Able Booth" of the squad.
But the last three years Borden-town has made an excellent showing—the 1928 season saw them bowling only to the Morgan College Bears, a team really out of their class; a team really out of their class. This record is particularly creditable when it is remembered that the Borden-town schedule included regular games with five teams of more than 200 players. Coch-Warson has every reason to be proud of three such eleven in as many seasons.

Constantine, Famous Cricketer, Stars for West Indies Team Against the Famous New South Wales Eleven
(Special Cable to the Jamaica Gleaner from Reuter's by D. W. L Cable C.)
Sydney, Nov. 22.—Before the magnificent bowling of Constantine and Francis, the famous West Indian first trudlers, New South Wales were disposed of in their first innings today by the state combination including six of the players on the victorious Australian team in England this year.
There was another great crowd present when play was continued to the Kippax, 3, resuming the batting to the bowling of Constantine and Francis. At the close yesterday the West Indians had made 188 in the first innings, the Kippax with South Wales replied with 68 for 2 wickets at the call of time. With half a dozen runs added to the total, one of Constantine's expresses four. McCabe joined Bradman, who was scoring steadily, and the pair took the score past the century. Then Constantine accounted for McCabe's wicket, letting it be taken.
The score slowly mounted despite changes in the bowling; St. Hill, Martin and Scott being entrusted with the leather at different periods. The Jamie Bowler was expensive. Wicket not being suited to his type of bowling.
Barrow Caught Bradman. When Bradman had made 73 and seemed on his way for one of his usual tall scores, he was snapped up
West Point Cavalry Quint Wins Opening Game
WEST POINT, N. Y., Dec. 4 — The Cavalry Detachment featured a dance and basketball game in the Cavalry "Gym" last night, marking the opening session of the season. Their team used the New York Five, an upper New York State team. The game was fast and interesting and the visitors held the Roughriders to a 20 to 20 tie at the end of the second quarter. In the third quarter the team made for the Cavalry one of these Chas. White, former star of the New York Commonwealth team. From then on to the finish the Pointers took the lead and arrived at a 51-20 win. Winks, Norman and Mariani starred for the visitors, while the entire Cavalry team took individual honors. The visiting team was well represented with guests and rooters. The Country Club Orchestra from Baskerville and N. Y., furnished music for the

Almost immediately after Constantine bowled out Oldfield Australia's great wicket keeper, made another stand, and slowly but surely the total creep up to the West Indians' first innings score. Then Allsopp was run out for a well compiled bowler, and the bowler row stumped Oldfield off Scott. Francis rapidly ran through the remaining wickets, bowling Stewart for 5 and Chilvers for 8, the total closing for 207, just 19 runs ahead of the Barrow 3-0 wicket magnificently, the extras only amounting to 7.

The West Indians started their second innings with the opening pinch, Rohde 4, the Jamaica lefthander was stumped by Oldfield off Chilvers. Birkett filled the vacancy and the 19 arrows hit the ball, but the Jamaica fell a victim to the Oldfield-Chilvers combination. Headley joined Roach and at once started to score. The total was advanced to 60 when McCarthy hit the ball, but the West Indian captain, joined Headley and immediately after rain which had been threatening for some time came down, stopping the ball. The match, which is limited to four days will be continued on Mon-

The "Y" Juniors defeated the Manton Club last Saturday evening at the 135th street court, where they needed little opposition to the Juniors, who annexed their sixth straight victory at home.

State College Eleven Subdues Morris College
ORANGEBURG, S. C., Dec. 5. — Playing on what might be termed a soupy field, the State College Bulldogs subdued the nightingale attack to a 9 to 11 tilt on the local gridiron to win the championship.
The game, a charity one for the benefit of the American Legion and unemployed, was full of thrills and disasters. The attack by the visitors threatened State's defense. They placed the ball on the 12-yard line and were held for four dbwbs.
A 35-yard pass from Cain to Evans brought the ball to the game. In the second quarter, being completed by Gillam through right guard and tackle. The second half showed State playing a great offense, helping her adversaries in their territory.

CARLTON FIVE
DEFEATS CENTRAL
On Saturday night, December 6, Carlton's senior team, playing at home, had very little difficulty in the game, despite aggravation from Central Queens. The team was Carlton's from the very start as indicated by the rapid scoring during the first period. Carlton scored 24 points during the first half of the game, while Central Queens scored. During the second half the rangy center of the Central Queens team came through with ten points, which allowed them to finish the final drive for victory. However, the Central Queens hold them in check. Carlton scored 14 points during the second half of play, while Central Queens scored 18. Central Queens. 24 STANDING OF THE LEAGUE. Won Lost

A double windup of two star-tound bouts in on tap at the Olympia Club in Harlem Thursday night, Koli Rice, of Porto Rico, will battle Leo Dazzo of the East Side in one number, while Atilo Sabatino, welterweight champion of Porto Rico meets Irish Tommy Jordan.

Sabatino, latest of the army of pro-fighters, won a victory over Angel Cliville, knockout conqueror of Rene Devos. Jordan has beaten Sergeant Sammy Baker and Hilario Martinez and should furnish Sabatino with plenty of opposition.
Two six-rounders and a pair of four-spots complete the program. In the six Augustine Perez of Porto Rico opposes Joe Sylvestri of Harlem, and Hilario Martinez and should furnish mingles with Peter Gulotta of Maribor. The four-round bouts are paired as follows: Clyde Edmons of Harlem vs. Joe Malavez, Porto Rico; vs. Joe vs. Ernesto Torres, Porto Rico.

Newsboys Put Up Great Battle Against the Philadelphiaians
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 5.—Making their first appearance here Otto Briggs' Tribune Big Five was defeated by Rheims Post, 31 to 28, before a crowded audience in one of the most hotly contested games ever played here.

Chester County Boys Surprise Baltimore Athelvers by a 36-30 Score
Lincoln University Varsity basketball team took the measure of the Baltimore Athelvers on Friday evening, Nov. 28, at the New Albert Auditorium at Baltimore, in a thrilling court contest ending 36-30. The game was closely contested, with Lincoln jumping to the lead in the second period, never to be headed after trailing at half time with the score 16-14.
After the initial whistle, "Brick-Top" Wright of the "Lion" squad was the first to part the cords and enter the scoring column by dropping a sensational one hand shot from the linebacker. Athelvers evened up the tails by scoring several free throws. The game see-sawed but the Athelvers managed to hold a two point margin by the first twenty minutes of play.
At the opening of the second half Lincoln cut loose a passing and shooting attack with "Mac" Weatherley, class of floor man in comrade Danny Fitzgerald, sense to make way for his famous "Lightning" passes to "Bus" Bergen, Wright and Avery, who pushed the winners into a twelve point lead. As the game drew to a close the Athelmen's international shots by Poles and Henderson, who were the outstanding performers for the Athelmen.

Miller Elected President of Brooklyn Branch N.A.A.C.P.
Members of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People broke their tension and intense suspense last Wednesday evening when they met at the Carlton Y. M. C. A. and Andrew J. Bowers' work at this branch of the T. their president.
Contrary to expectations cherished by some of the officers and members, the meeting was very peaceful and was conducted in an atmosphere of happy fellowship. This was so surprising to many of them that it elicited from Miller in a moment of ungrudged enthusiasm to summarize the shortest meeting the organization ever had."
For many weeks prior to this meeting there had been predictions that the election for the presidency would be keenly contested, particularly when he became the president. Harden, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, who is closely associated with Counselor Stanley M. Douglas, controlled a block of one hundred votes in the election, and in a particular section of the organization when, according to one of the members, he "attempted to break up" one of its meetings held during the summer at Fleet Street A. M. Holy Trinity Oscar DePriest was principal speaker, and, believing that he was encouraged in this by the president, Mr. Douglas, they were prepared to show their resentment by deceiving his nomination. In time, many of the local ministers were invited to attend the meeting for the congressman and either designedly or inadvertently the Holy Trinity pastor was overlooked. Not to be outdone, however, he attended the meeting and was subsequently on the platform, and when the chairman failed to introduce him he introduced himself and then forth took control of the meeting, which was followed by contributing one hundred dollars.
He informal the officers of the organization subsequently that the hundred dollars represented one hundred members and was not a donation as it was this latter move which is said to have thrown a score into the ranks of those opposed to both himself and Stanley Douglas, because they were not unaware of the controls such a larceny would cause since at their last election voting by proxy was permitted.
In consequence of this and as a safeguard against another happening, he more than ten per cent of the entire membership never actively participate in the election, the officers decided in advance to forbid voting by proxy. Douglas was responsible for Counsel Douglas, who is not known. It was understood from a very reliable source that he was a candidate to succeed himself for the third term. At the last election he presented more proxies than his opponent, that these represented less active voters.
When the voting began the president declined in favor of Mr. Miller, thus moving from the picture of the local organization to the picture of the many eyes were focussed and the figure under whose administration the branch made its most rapid progress.
After the annual reports were presented to Stanley Douglas, president; Alexander Holberson, Q. Martin, treasurer, the Rev. Porter W. Phillips was voted to the chair as election chairman and with about sixty embers present the following persons were elected: Alexander Miller, president; Edith Holberson, secretary; Archibald B.秒钟, secretary; A. Q. Martin, treasurer.
Elected to the Executive Committee was Clarence N. Johnson, Dr. F. S. Cummerby, Stanley M. Douglas, William H. McArthur.

noy Lewis S. Flagg, the Rev. Porter W. Phillips, Dr. William R. Granger, Frank Holbrook and Arthur Funn. Highlights in the report of Mr. Douglas are: An executive committee was formed to labored diligently and conscientiously in the best interests of the organization and has made recommendations and enacted policies which it would be well for the Brooklyn Branch to continue permanently. This committee has kept up with the progress of our branch life as finances, member4-9, representation at the annual conference, mass meetings, agitation supporting the defeat of Judge Parker and complaints of race discrimination coming from various phases of the FINANCE—Dus to the efficient and untiring efforts of Mr. A. Q. Martin, whom the branch was fortunate in selecting as its treasurer, its financial status has never been more sound in its operation, and the balance of about $37, with no outstanding obligations to be met.
MEMBERSHIP — The membership of the Brooklyn Branch has steadily grown from slightly over 200 to 623 members in the first year, and growth is due not only to personal relocation but also by voluntary applications on the part of those who felt a real need that this branch can serve in our community life. It is less important than the questions of finance and membership was the problem of maintaining representation through delegates at the annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. which was held at Springfield, Mass., on June 14, 1920, and at June 14, 1921 in July, 1920. As a result of the accomplishments of this branch, the delegates returned with a certificate from the National Headquarters which placed it on the honor roll of branches for the year 1900. The branch has never before enjoyed.
INACTIVITY- In reviewing the year's work the president feels that there is much that can still be done to perfect the skills of the executive working machine. Although the personnel of the staff of officers and the Executive Committee has embraced a group of intelligent and capable persons the branch has ever selected to have been appointed to have been appointments of its work which have suffered through the inactivity of committee chairmen whose duty and responsibility it was to see to it that such committees would accomplish the work as outlined for them.
STRONG NUCLEUS-The president feels that whatever conditions are reflected by other departments of branch活性 there is a strong nuclear activity in the highest order by these constantly active officers, and it is the hope of the president that the colored people of Brooklyn will adopt more and more organizational and as their own peculiar weapon in their fight for redress of wrongs perpetrated against them by that common, almost universal, enemy, Brooklyn will develop a greater sense of racial entity which will in turn cause them to cherish the inherent power of Brooklyn by their race, looking forward toward its uplift and advancement.

Urges Sacrifices To Better Status
Judge Hueston Declares Negro Must Launch Business World
Calling for the establishment of a Negro commercial world as a means of escaping such hard times as the country is experiencing, William C. Hueston, commissioner of education for the I. B. Postmaster General's office, and former magistrate, urged that luxuries be foregone for the huge enterprise, in a speech Sunday afternoon at Imperial Hall, 160 West 129th street. Because the Negro's status in the industrial world is always poor, said Hueston, he is today in a worse plight than any other race. Mr. Hueston proposed the calling of a nation-wide conference composed of men and women of both races to consider the indictment of a serious condition of the American Negro. He would have this conference formulate and put into operation a program for the alleviation of the Negro and to memorialize President Hoover to appoint and finance a commission to study the Negro's economic and industrial liens and to seek
The judge, whose hobby is higher education for colored youths and who, as Elk educational commissioner, has done much to commission Negro children, was roundly cheered and the crowd readily adopted his suggestions. The conference at Imperial Hall was held under auspices of the educational department of Imperial James B. Allen heads the division.

The estimates submitted with the President's message to Congress give Howard University the sum of $229,000 and Freedman's Hospital the sum of $129,000.

The total cost for construction and equipment authorized by Congress is $1,579,000. Appropriations are available for these building projects, except the sum of $260,000 which will be used for the Budget Bureau for the fiscal year 1832 for completing the construction and equipment of the educational classroom building.

Porters' Union May Benefit
From Fight for 6-Hour Day
The second conference by the Big Four Brotherhoods of Railroad Workers, held in Cleveland December 4, had for its principal purpose the developing of a program in the interest of the 6-hour day as a means of providing jobs for a quarter of a million or more workers displaced by labor-saving devices and business depressions in the last ten years.
According to A. Philip Randolph, president and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, this fight by the Big "d" will aid the porters in the job of a 240-hour work month. Pullman porters now work on nearly a 400-hour monthly schedule, Randolph said, and that if they secure the 8-hour day or 24-hour work month, they would provide jobs for some 2,000 or more porters, who would receive a load off or furledged by the Pullman Company.

Memorial services marking the third anniversary of the death of Hubert Harrison, author, lecturer, historian and radical scholar, will be held Sunday night at the Hubert Harrison Memorial Church, 149 West 136th street.
The Rev. Ethelred Brown, pastor of the Memorial Church, will deliver the anniversary oration. His subject will be Hubert Harrison, who died December 12, 1927, after an operation for appendicitis. Born of middle-class parents in the Virgin Islands, Harrison's education began in the Danish government and private schools. While he was an anarchist, the government confiscated his father's property, leaving the youth to face the future clouded by poverty.
After a tour around the world with a group of science students, he came to New York. Later he entered the Post Office as a elem. Mr. Harrison quit his job and entered an Institution. The Harlem School of Social Science. 1912 he became assistant editor of The Masses. Later he founded the Liberty League and edited The Voice. From this venture he went to the New Negro, a magazine, and later the Negro world, as editor. At one time he was a professor of the Cosmopolitan College of Chicago. The New York Board of Education engaged Mr. Harrison as a staff lecturer in 1922. He also lectured at New York University and the Workers' School. In addition to other public speaking. The scholar wrote literary criticism for practically every important liberal journal. The name of the church of Harlem was changed as a memorial to the scholar after Mr. Harrison's death.
Brown Takes Rap At Feeble Minds
---
Zion Pastor Lays Blame for Mental Poverty on
"When the human mind becomes impoverished and enfeebled, it is usually because we have dealt with commonplaces and failed to think upon the greater things of life" declared the Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor of the Mother A. M. E. Zion seventh avenue, on Sunday morning. The minister urged his flock to return to the precepts of the Bible instead of indulging in the religious fads of "spiritualism" "menticulture" keys to the scriptures offered to the church by the Bible which he called "the book that has changed the world." Six persons joined the church after hearing the sermon. The junior church services were conducted by Paul as a Price, assistant pastor at Mother Zion.
Addressing his congregation Sunday morning on the issues arising out of the great crisis in crime to the St. Mark's M. E. Church, 151th street and Edgecombe avenue, said it is not enough to pour oil on the wounds of the victims, but the thieves themselves must be made to pay proper penalties for their transgression. "The spirit of the Good Samaritan demands that we should clean up the modern Jericho read," asserted the Rev. Dr. Robinson. "Speaking on the unemployment situation on Sunday evening the Rev. Dr. Robinson urged his hearers to demand adequate remuneration for their own labor and to develop opportunities for others when there is a chance to make openings where Nerges are already employed." "God is seeking men who will render service to His cause today just as he went into the business ages ago to bring for them the oil." The Hill pastor of St. Matthew's Baptist Church, 720 West, 153d street, Sunday morning.
The second anniversary celebration at St. Matthew's of St. Mary's will begin last week, will continue through next Sunday evening, when the annual Christmas concert under the annual Norman of Norman will be held.

"Now I Am Civilized"
Scored by White Critic
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 (ANP) — Urging the Columbus, Ohio, Urban League to blacklist it, a bitter dispute has been released by the Ohio State Journal against a satirical novel recently published by Eugene Henry Huffman, 4215 Hooper avenue. Copies of the daily reaching here have caused no little discussion, due to the fact that all the local dailies had spoken highly of the work as a brilliant, amusing satire.
The Journal article, written by Elma Ehrlich Levinger, states that the book, the title of which is "Now I Am Civilized," will do "no little mischief, and promote misunderstanding between the white and black citizens of our country."
The objection to the novel seems to arise from the fact that young Huffman, while employed as a cook in private families, has not only exposed the workings of the white man's mind but also the private actions of some of the most exclusive "white folks" from New Orleans to Hollywood.
A review of the book, "Now I Am Civilized," appears in this issue of The Amsterdam News.-Ed.

Real Estate Pointers
By William T. Williams
Economic history is a fruitful source of information concerning the development of the control of real estate from the most primitive forms, with no control, to the modern form of private ownership. War, disease and famine in ancient times kept the earth from large and dense populations. There was plenty of room for nomadic hordes to wander from one feeding group to another. Gradually the stronger groups were able to possess the best grounds and their wanderings became restricted to certain locations. The human race learned not merely the capture of wild animals for food, but also their domestication. It learned not merely the gathering of wild fruits and grains to eat, but also their cultivation. The control of land always seems to have been a necessary part of each civilization; even in remote ancient times private ownership in land developed here and there throughout the old world.

of which we have any knowledge was recorded on a stone tablet excavated from ancient Babylon and is thought to be thousands of years old. The main evolution of private ownership in real estate was through Western civilization. Through centuries of time the feudal system of land tenure developed. It was held that the earth belonged to the Lord, whose representatives on earth were the kings. English and American private property in real estate grew out of the European feudal system; this again took centuries to develop and is, indeed, still in process of development. Along with this development in the control of real estate went also the development of great financial and credit-systems. The banking and mortgage institutions of the present are the result of that development. The institution of private ownership in land and the idea of using it for credit developed the use of mortgages.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT passed the appeal of Dr. J. M. Robbins, which challenged a rule of the Democratic Committee prohibiting Negro Democratic primaries. Two years and several others were denied the Democratic primary in Little Rock. The State Supreme Court upheld declaring that there was no violation or any of its Amendments, and the party had a right to prescribe wives. The United States Supreme Court to entertain Dr. Robinson's appeal at the controversy presented no action, and has decided that it has.

Speech at Shaw University urged their efforts to enter Democratic law of creating a real two-party system will be impossible for them to do. Court upholds the primary bans.

Different Labels, Same Medicine
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT has dismissed the appeal of Dr. J. M. Robinson and others, which challenged a rule of the Arkansas State Democratic Committee prohibiting Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries. Two years ago Dr. Robinson and several others were denied the right to vote in the Democratic primary in Little Rock and filed suit. The State Supreme Court upheld the primary ban, declaring that there was no violation of the Constitution or any of its Amendments, and that the Democratic party had a right to prescribe who may be its members. The United States Supreme Court now has refused to entertain Dr. Robinson's appeal on the ground that the controversy presented no constitutional question, and has decided that it has no jurisdiction.
THIS IS A DISAPPOINTMENT, in view of the Supreme Court's previous action in deciding against the primary ban in Texas. The South has received encouragement and support in its determination to keep the Negro from the polls. James Weldon Johnson in a recent speech at Shaw University urged Negroes to continue their efforts to enter Democratic primaries with the view of creating a real two-party system in the South. It will be impossible for them to do this if the Supreme Court upholds the primary bans.
THERE CAN NEVER be a real two-party system in the South in the real sense. There will be such labels as Democrat and Republican; but both bottles will contain the same bad medicine. Both parties will act upon what, to them, is the main principle: the Negro must be kept down and out of politics. In the North the Negro can strengthen his position by learning political independence; he made a good start in that direction in the November elections.

ORT ARTICLE in the American or December tells more about the development of race prejudice than was written retrospectively by a yea who had attended a noted private
SHORT ARTICLE in the American Mercury for December tells more about the birth and development of race prejudice than many volumes. It was written retrospectively by a young white woman who had attended a noted private school in New York. The policy of this school is to mix all races and nationalities of children, including a few Negroes, with the hope that close association will diminish or prevent the growth of interracial and interreligious hate. Nevertheless, the school is shown, in the article, to have failed in this, one of its most important, purposes.
THE ARTICLE deals with a colored boy and his sister who were admitted to the school. The white children, ten or eleven years old, took them up and made idols of them. For the first year or two their popularity grew; the boy dominated his classes. As the high school age approached there was a gradual dropping off, and in high school there was a decided change.
THE COLORED CHILDREN were no longer idols. They were not exactly shunned, but they were not sought after. The white pupils' world had been slowly but effectively instilling race hate, and almost insensibly they had conformed to their home environment. At graduation hardly any attention was paid the former idols.
EVERYONE, except the generality of white people, knows that race prejudice is not instinctive, that it has to be carefully indoctrinated. It could not be developed if children were left alone by their elders. Manufactured, not natural, hatred has caused most of the troubles of history. The children of Rome and Carthage were taught to hate each other: in the Eighteenth Century no English boy's education was considered complete till he had learned, as an English writer said, "to hate a Frenchman as he would the devil." If such hatred were natural England and France could not have fought side by side in the World War. In pre-war Germany hate for England was the national cult. People train their children to hate, and then wonder why we cannot get rid of war.

A Tempest in a Skull
WHAT is an African chieftain's skull worth? You may think the question is trivial; but it was
given a paragraph in the Treaty of Versailles and was considered seriously in the House of Commons last week. According to Article 246 of the Versailles Treaty, Germany must hand over to the British Government the skull of the Sultan Mkwawa, which was removed from the protectorate of German East Africa and taken to Germany. Germany has been asked twice for the skull, but has replied that it was believed to have been buried in Africa.
IF YOU THINK all this pother over a skull is foolish, let us imagine an analogous case. Suppose Germany, in the World War, had invaded the United States and disinterred and carried away the skeletons of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Would not the United States, if finally victorious, have included in the peace treaty an unqualified demand that those skeletons be returned to this country?
THE AFRICANS, moreover, believe that the Sultan Mkwawa's skull is possessed of magical powers. It is amusing to see how often, we ridicule others for doing the very thing that we would do if we were put in their place.
PRESIDENT HOOVER'S
Negro policy, or lack of policy, must be read between the lines and between the acts. He has at no time given formal expression, nor has he deigned to discuss the matter with any Negro organization or spokesman. The "illy white" policy which he adopts would indeed permit the Negro to vote for the Republican party's candidates, but would deny him any voice or say in shaping the policies of the party. He has adopted this policy, poised to back up an accompanying party in the Southern States. In this policy and purpose he is persistent. Three members of his Cabinet come from the South.
He appointed Mr. Houston of Tennessee as chairman of the National Republican Committee, thus placing the management of the party's affairs in his hands. That this arrangement went awry was no fault of Mr. Hoover's. In furtherance of this aim, Judge Parker of North Carolina was appointed to the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. Again his plan miscarried, but his purpose persists.
The recent assignment of Mr. Doak to a cabinet portfolio speaks so plainly and loudly that he who runs may hear.
The President is no whit abashed at the Republican defeat in the Southern states in the recent confrontation. For were not Republicans defeated everywhere?
The causes of this defeat must be

SPARKS CONTINUE TO FLY
Richard M. Warner Takes Issue With Explanation Made by Hamilton J. Travis.
To the Editor, The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir:
Reading through the columns of your paper for Nov. 26, 1930, I came across an article captioned: "Appearent Club President Explains Republican Upset," which is supposed to have emanated from the pen of Hamilton Travis, the club's president.
If this is wholly Mr. Travis' explanation of the Republican debate in the recent election, I ask that you kindly explain me space to say it is an explanation which does not explain.
If very forcefully discloses one of two things: Either that the writer, Mr. Travis, is devoid of the necessary political information which he claims to possess, statistical questions which will wiggle the question, and is therefore unfit for the leadership he seeks.
In his reference to the defeat of the Republican judicial candidates, the cities certain figures to show that Messrs. Rivers and Hawkins carried that half of the Twenty-first Assembly district controlled by colored leadership as follows: Toney, 3,500; Watson, 3,100; Rivers, 4316; Hawkins, 3,998; a Republican majority of 515 votes for Rivers over the district and 498 for Hawkins over Toney, when the truth of the matter is that with a united Republican front these candidates should have received the normal majority of 2,000 votes, as is shown by the records of previous elections. To further show his thorough lack of knowledge, he blames the white voters on the western end of the Assembly district for the defeat of Mr. Austin, the Republican candidate for member of Assembly, by saying Mr. Austin lost 1,000 votes, when as a matter of fact the record when as a matter of fact two years shows that every Republican candidate has lost that same territory by approximately the same margin.
For his enlightenment I will state that in 1938 Mr. Remer, the candidate of the party, lost that end, and still won the district by

Mr. Hoover, as a politician, plays a hidden hand. He is an engineer

and not a sentimentalist. He believes that Republican success must rest upon its constructive economic policy embodied in the protective tariff. He can offer only palliatives to the agricultural states. Blocked at the Mississippi River, the Grand River, and the seak exe coast, Southward. Tennessee is a more reliable Republican state than Nebraska. There is more hope
2.395 votes, and in 1929, despite the Walker landslide, Mr. Perkins, the Republican candidate, lost the white end, but still carried the Assembly district by 1.695 majority.
What Mr. Travis should explain is as to how a Republican candidate (colored) could lose to a (white) Democratic candidate in a strongly Republican district, when it was alleged to have been said that everything was "in the bag" for Mr. Austin.
As to the kind of war chest necessary to carry the candidates to victory, Mr. Travis should know that the Republican party is considered the wealthiest party in the country, and thus to select Mrs. Ruth Pratt to Congress, Senator Hoffstadter to the State Senate, Abbott Low Moffatt to the State Assembly, and the two Republican judicial candidates in the Ninth Municipal Court district.
I am inclined to believe that had the alleged contribution been spent judiciously in the interest of the candidates, there may have been no room for just criticism. For instance, as late as Friday after election, I was creditably informed that there were 8,500 stamped envelopes lying in College Station P. O. ordered at the request of the leaders of the Twenty-first Assembly district east.
I could if it were necessary point out the many defects as to his analysis regarding the votes in the Nineteenth Assembly district since I do not live in a district, I do not live in a far afield to misslead the affairs of an adjoining Assembly district.
In closing let me state that by Mr. Travis' line of reasoning, and the other districts followed the standard set by the Twenty-first district, the Republican candidates would have lost by approximately 7,500 votes.
Again thanking you for the space
given in this matter, and with
every good wish for your continued
success.
I beg to remain.
I very truly yours.

for Kentucky than for North Dakota. North Carolina, even, is as likely to eat oats out of the hands of the G. O. P. as Wisconsin or Minnesota. Senator Bruce of Maryland is more apt to uphold Mr. Hoover's hand than Senator McCain's. Too too must use political strategy to prevent these upper Southern states from combining with the West to the undoing of the traditional Republican doctrine. With this object in view, the Negro has been side-tracked, both North and South. Mr. Hoover will probably be renominated to succeed himself. His triumph at the Republican convention finally lines up on the wet and dry question and the speedy or tardy return of prosperity.
The serious question for the Negro to ponder over is whether any other prominent Republican or Democrat, for that matter, takes a different view of his place in his political scheme. There will be no very few Negro delegates at the Democratic convention, and probably none at the Democratic convention. The two parties are approaching parity on this issue.
There will be Negro voters, but no Negro vote. Individual Negroes, here and there, will be recognized and rewarded, as in case of Rueston, Henderson, Mitchell and Couge, but merely as individual attachments to the tail of their respective senatorial bites. There will be no consultation with the race as such; no college bites as to race leaders as to the formulation of policies; no promise of any prominent positions such as the race was accustomed to in the long ago; no race
DEMOCRATS
Harry M. Walker Criticizes the Policy of F. Q. Morton and His Political Party.
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir:
I was very much interested in your editorial or Nov. 19 in which you said "even in defeat our head is high." In order to make this editorial complete, you should have added an apology to your readers for the fact that F. Q. Morton, leader of the United States Colored Democracy, is at the head of a Jim-Crow organization in New York City that is controlled by Tammany Hall, and because of fear he is willing to sell his birthright and his liberty to a crowd whose only party is the protection of graff, gambling, prostitution, and all forms of vice. This party's motto is "Rule or Ruin!"
While Morton and some of the members of his Jim-Crow organization have been loud in criticizing the Republican party, they have been completely silent on the record of the Democratic party in the South, the very backbone of the party, yet that section of the party has a password for bigrity, suppression of personal liberty, racial hatred, and barbarous labor conditions.
Morton knows that's why we have so many colored men and women in northern cities out of employment now. He knows full well that the results on Nov. 4 were entirely due to bribery, fraud, violence and political trickery of the meanest kind, but it gives His Majesty satisfaction to know that he was the leading clergymen of Harlem to fall, and fall hard, for a corrupt political offering.
Your sincerely.

WHITE ROSE HOME
Writer Tells of the Untiring Work of Mrs. Anna Rich. Invalid and Sister of the Founder. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir:
In the article concerning the White Rose Home in the Dec. 31 issue, the author no mention was made of Mrs. Anna Rich, sister of the founder, Mrs. Victoria E. Mathews.
Mrs. Rich did exhaustive work for the home during its early days and should be mentioned as one of its pioneer workers. S. donated much of her time and labor in furthering the ideals of her sister. Mrs. Rich superintended the disliked nursing home and acted 13 her sister's capacity in the latter's last fitness.
It was Mrs. Rich who met the Negro girls at the trains and steamers. When that work became so vast that it could not be handled by the home alone, it was placed in the hands of the then newly formed organization, the Travelers' Aid Society, American Mrs. Rich was kept on and she became a woman to be employed by that organization.... Mrs. Rich continued in the employment of The Travelers' Aid Society, handling not only Negro cases but cases of practically every nationality, until ten years ago, when illness forced her to retire. She is now an invalid at her home, 43 Wet Sixty-sixth street, but she can look back over those days with deeper feeling, pernas, most intimate joys and sorrows of her life were closely ennuied in her sister's White Ros. Home. It is only fair that then her name be included in any history of the home, no matter how brief.

leader, no spokesman, and no referee; no mention of the multification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. Of course, there is to be no disturbance of the Southern revised Constitution. The Negro wants a vote and a voice, but the "lily white" party or parties will grant him a vote only in the North.
Now, if my diagnosis is correct, how does the Negro like the prospect? And what is he to do about it? Several courses of action are open. He may bolt to the opposing party to punish his erstwhile friends for their apostasy. Many, very many, will doubtless do this. He may stay within the party and urge the nomination of a candidate whom he regards as more generously disposed than Mr. Hoover. You will have the courage to do this. Or he may fall into complacent compliance with Mr. Hoover's "lily white" policy, if not thus branded. This seems to me to be about the way things are trending.
The Negro political leaders, if there be any, lack the energy, enterprise and initiative to promote original political action. They serve as undetectable coefficients to one of the most powerful ones who shows any signs of independence and reliance on race sufficiency is Congressman Oscar DePriest, but his is merely a voice crying in the wilderness. For the most part the leaders will stand idly by, until the next campaign begins. The white policies have been formulated, and heg for such pitance of considerations as the rival parties may graciously accord them.

"Best Friend of the Negro- The Southern White Man"
(For The Associated Negro Press.)
THAT is what Edwin R. Embree,
the president of the Rosenwald
Fund, is reported to have said when
dedicating the five thousandth
Rosenwald School for Negroes, and
in the State of Virginia. Of course,
Virginia is a good place in which to
say things like that; they like to
hear that in Virginia. But that
does not make it a true saying. An
African, who was recently visiting
Virginia, told them the plain truth:
that Africa should be sending missionaries to Virginia, instead of the
reverse. The Virginians did not
immediately proceed to prove the truth
of what the African had said by
resorting to violence and driving him out of their state.
Now there is no doubt about it that Mr. Rosenwald is one of the Negro's best friends; and the writer of this criticism has no doubt that Mr. Embree is a very good friend of the Negro—for we have met and talked with both of these gentlemen and have heard him talk to me about his friendship with his friendship by more than 5,000 important acts, which are the only proof of friendship. And Mr. Embree has done and will do many acts of friendship toward Negroes. But even one's best friends may make big mistakes sometimes in their very zeal o' benevolence. Mr. Embree is simply mistaken when he says, unqualifiedly, that the Southern whites are the Negro's "best friends." What he probably means is that he Southern white is not ill the white people in Ameries to be the best friend of the American Negro.
But are they? That is another question. Nothing but a plain idiom would accept lynching, segregation, disfranchisement, and nearly every other known method of tyranny and social torture as acts of violence. Did they did not Mr. Embrey face, facing this Southern prejudice of whites and blocks, speak the simple truth and say: You have the finest opportunity of any members of your respective races to be friends, real friends, and why do you not make the most of that opportunity?
For Mr. Embrey will not dare to pretend not to know that the average northern white heartily desires for the non-segregated Jim-Growson, non-participation in government and schooling of a lower grade than that for white people. And Mr. Embrey's declaration implies, plaintly, that the Negro is unwise in not accepting the dearest wishes of his "best friends"; and that those who urge the Negro not to accept these limitations and this inferior status are his worst enemies.
About 99 out of every 100 of the Negro's "best friends" were, and are opposed to a Federal antitrumping law, and at least 99 out of

A Duskymerican Kidder
NOW I AM CIVILIZED. By Eugene Henry Huffman. Wetzel Publishing Company, Los Angeles. $2.00.
SOMETIMES we are so self-righteous in our opinion of the other fellow that we forget he may have his own opinion of us, an opinion which, if we knew it, would jar the self-complacency out of us. This is almost always true when white people are dealing with Negroes. Do you remember that case in Minnesota? A Negro fleeced a bank out of several thousand dollars because the officials were off their guard; they admitted afterward that they hadn't checked him up because it never occurred to them that a Negro could have that much sense.
You have often seen a white speaker beaming at a colored audience as he told them to be good little boys, and realized what a deflation his vanity would suffer if he could read their minds. Once a white singer undertook to illustrate the glory of grand opera to an assemblage of Negroes. He went away happy, he thought that his vocality and credition had overstated him and that he did not in the way he thought. Their applause had meant, as they said afterward: "Let's give the poor devil a break, might as well send him away feeling good."
Many a missionary, unfolding the splendors of Christianity to a sageage tribe, has concluded, from the dreamy expression on their faces, that he was converting them, when they were really wondering how long it would take to cook him. The dreamer took nothing on the Negro when it came to hiding their thoughts from whites. The Chinese hide them by silence; the Negro buries them in a wave of volubility; he can talk all day and tell you nothing. The Negro is a great kidder of white people. Did you ever hear of the Negro butter who told his successive employers that they reminded him of King Edward of England? They tipped him handover to work for a German family. Then his ignorance of international affairs cost him his job.
"Now I Am Civilized" is a book written to kid the white people, or, rather, to show how a Negro servant kidded them. The hero's American name is John Johnnie Johnson; his real name, kept alive through generations of slavery, is Ras-Tafaler Hounin-Kounin, which he is the himself; a been kidded. He is an innocent of education; but he is bright enough to pick up a pictureque vocabulary from the white people he works for as a cook. He captures sonorous words but misses their connections, and his innocent blunders send every 100 Negroes in favor of it. Isn't the Negro a mullish animal to be so diametrically opposed to the judgment and wishes of his best friend? There is something radically wrong with the Negro, or something radically wrong with the desolation of Embersee. But perhaps that is a mistake of the heart, made because of the carnest desire of Mr. Embree that these people should be friends.
But the other mistake which Mr. Embree made or the same occasion is a much worse mistake: it is a mistake of the head. It is a mistake in economics, in history, in fact; and it is the most dangerous of all the mistakes. Mr. Embree says that the men who were "once masters" are supporting "hospitals and schools for people who were once their slaves," and "with their own tax money." Then he proceeded to tell how, out of $25,000,000 used to build these Rosenwald schools, $14,000,000 came "out of tax money," which context would leave in mind the thoughts of the thoughts that these generous ex-masters had given fourteen millions of "their own tax money" to support Negro education.
Who in the world pays the taxes, for example, in Mississippi? Because the white man there is the sole "tax collector" is no logical reason for supposing that he is the sole taxpayer. In fact, his advantages as "collector" and sole controller of the taxes are proof sufficient to those who know this world that he will not do all of his share of the "paying" and that he is likely to go. more than his share of the tax. What is what has happened in the matter of Southern education for Negroes and whites for over fifty years, and even our enthusiastic philanthropists ought to know it. The "tax money" diverted to assist Mr. Rosenwald in building Southern schools for Negroes represents only a part of the Negro's just share of the public school funds withheld from his children and given to the whites.
FRENCH BOOK TELLS OF
NEGRO IN AMERICA
A thoroughgoing survey of the American Negro and of color problems in the United States is published in Paris, written by Maxdeine Paz, under the title "Frene Noik" (Black Brother). The book includes a historic survey of the slave trade, the emancipation of Negroes, and great lengths into Negroes' early conditions, including lynching, economic handicaps and the color line, living conditions in Northern cities and the literary work of Negro writers.
ABSENCE of occupation is not rest, a mund quite vacant is a mind distressed.

people into hysteries of laughter. He calls himself a Duskyman. He starts out as a little boy in Alabama, where he is being reared by his aunt. They live next door to a family of trashy whites, the kind who are always seeking an excuse for a lynching. The pigs belonging to the two families visit each other and fraternize. The white woman shoots one of the colored family's pigs, and when the boy demonstrates she affects hysteries, screaming at the top of her head. She is just Klien, mobilizes and goes after the boy to him for "attacking" a white woman. He gets away, and, after much running and dodging, returns to his home, the last place where the mob will look for him.
His aunt then tells him a fantastic version of the history of slavery and explains the way she brought him up, to be a man and not a slave. He leaves home and gets a job at cooking in New Orleans. A keen observer, he resolves to watch his employers and become civilized, like them. He has no independent idea of civilization; to him it merely consists of whatever his employers do. He goes to California, where he lears all he can about getting civilized. Feeling that California has no more to teach him, he sets out for New York. He is persuaded to have his hair straightened; he hears that his parents cooked. The most amusing part of this book is the description of that dance in Chicago. He finds that dancing is too hot an exercise for straightened hair, "because the gentleman's hair began to show their ancestry and it was just too bad." Soon the hair-dressing melted and ran down their necks and cheeks.
He comes to New York, and finds that to be admitted to society he must belong to a "sorority," the requirement for admission being a college degree. He is told that this is easy to get, but it is fast. He decides, however, to go to Paris and study at the Sorbonne. But Paris is not so good to him; he cannot make money there. He goes to London, and at a fair he makes a hit with the Prince of Wales by cooking chitterlings. Society follows the Prince, and soon Ras-Taferi has more money than he can count. He returns to America, and busses to the Isle of Man Island, next to that of Mrs. Lasca Sartoris of "Nigger Heaven" fame. He has a tearing affair with this lady, who falls madly in love with him. All the while he is "two-timing" her by carrying on with her beautiful friend, Dolly Dimples. He becomes engaged to Dolly. Lasca goes with crawling on her knees to beg for just one more embrace with her marries Dolly, fully expecting his marriage to end in the alloy court.
At last he is what he calls civilized—he has plenty of money and a near-white wife. His little dark sweetheart has committed suicide on his account; but that doesn't worry him, it is a part of the process of getting his life back, it is too trial for one to have much of an opinion about it, one way or the other. It has about as much relation to real life as the story of Aladdin and his lamp, and its ending is about as sensible as Boo McNutt. Sometimes it is entertaining, as when Ras-Tafari gives his definition of fashion, or is an apology for a word he uses from people like laughing themselves to death. In many places it looks as if the man who wrote the book for Ras-Tafari has left out a good deal of the hero and put too much of himself in. The publisher calls the book a "brilliant satire on the white man's civilization"; but it reads more like an the gullibility of the publisher. OWNER

A moving picture show
Of lovely, sunny Spain.
My heart leans out
As in a fairy tale
I wish that I and
One that I could love.
Could bask within the range
Can I swim?
Could bask within the silver
Of a Spanish moon.
I wish that I and
One that I could love.
Could loll beneath a tended tree
And hear
The beating of our hearts
As one—
I wish that I could love and
Be forever loved.
