HOLLAND, CHIROPRACTOR, FACES PRISON
Is Youth Wholly Responsible for Its Crime?
NO LESS THAN seventy-four severe laws aimed at crime have been placed on the statute books of New York in recent years at the instigation of the Crime Commission, but the life and property toll continue to mount. Only the ages of the persons who commit the crimes are coming down.
Friday night, while the lives of three white youths, whose ages ranged from 19 to 22, were being snuffed out in Sing Sing's electric chain, three colored youths, ages 14, 15 and 19, set out on a journey which may bring them to a similar fate over in New Jersey. The Children's Aid Society reported a few days ago that 44 per cent of Manhattan's annual two hundred million dollar crime bill is run up by boys under 21 years of age.
The prevention of crimes against property and the attendant loss of life are the direct responsibility of the police power of the city and state governments. Yet, only about 15 per cent of the crimes committed and reported to the police are ever solved by them, even to the extent of making an arrest, and to further complicate the situation charges of corruption are being daily placed at the doors of those whose duty it is to uphold and enforce the law and thus prevent crime.
Is the youth of the city to be held wholly responsible for seeking to exemplify their elders by engaging in criminal pursuits, especially when their elders go unpunished for the crimes they commit? Should youth be held wholly responsible when criminals are found on judges' benches and in policemen's uniforms? We do not contend that youths should not pay the price for the crimes they commit, but we do contend that there would be less crime among youths if better examples were set before them.
Communistic Propaganda
And the Negro
"PROPOSE to tell the Congress of the United States," asserts Congressman Hamilton Fish, "that despite the campaign that the Communists have carried on among Negroes in America, practically none has been led astray from the love of his country and flag."
Congressman Fish, long regarded as an avowed advocate of right and justice for the Negro at the hands of his government, may be relied upon to carry out this expressed intention with all of the force and effect at his command. But Congress knows already of the loyalty of the Negro; yet it does practically nothing to reward him for his loyalty. If the Negro were an enemy of the government, he could not be treated much worse than he is already treated. Each year sees less done to end lynching and discrimination, and the government itself practices it.
Thus, while the Negro has not turned to Communism, he is to be found casting about for a political system or party that will help him secure simple justice and equal opportunity with other races and groups in the country. He knows but little of the Communist movement; the experiment going on in Russia is too far away to attract him just now. With other Americans he abhors the evidences of the Communistic doctrine he sees before his eyes—empty gestures that do little except attract the never-falling night stick of the police. The working classes which constitute the Communistic party's strength in the North are, in the South, the Negro's worst enemies—

GIRL MUST FACE DEATH QUIZ HERE
HOLLAND CONVICTED ON MEDICAL CHARGE AFTER COURT FIGHT
State Education Department Investigator Testifies She Was Treated in Office and Medicine Was Prescribed for Her
J. Acman Holland, 45, chiropractor, 2333 Seventh avenue was convicted of a charge of practicing medicine without a license on Monday in Special Sessions. Sentence will be imposed next Monday, upon the completion of an investigation of the chiropractor's business being conducted by the probation bureau.
Three Held in Murder of Jersey City Policeman Who Attempted to Halt Car
Two Harlem Youths in Trio Facing Serious Action After Theft of Auto in the Bronx— Slaying of Bayonne Man Started Hunt
Three youths are being held in Jersey City, N. J., charged with the murder of Motorcycle Patrolman Edward Ruark, white, of the Jersey City force, who was fatally shot on Friday evening at Roosevelt and Mallory avenues as he attempted to arrest the tsio for speeding past the traffic lights in their stolen sedan. The youths were caught after a
Monday's trial on Nov. 1, after Evelyn Gray, State Department of Education investigator, testified that he treated her in his office on three different occasions and had prescribed medicine for her. For these treatments in which she declared Holland used a stethoscope and instruments for testing blood pressure, Miss Gray said she paid Holland $8. All of these charges Holland denied in court Monday. He testified that he knew Miss Gray as Martha Wilson and that he had never prescribed medicine for her. He had, however, he said, adjusted her spine according to the laws of chiropractic after she had complained to him of high blood pressure.
Holland was represented by William Lambert, white attorney, 60 East Forty-second street, who called William H. Davis, publisher, and Dr. J. H. Jenkins, optometrist, to testify as to the character of the chiropractor. Both stated that they knew him to be a man of good character.
Deputy Attorney General Sol Ullman, white, the prosecutor, argued that Holland's using the initials "D.C., M.C. and Ph.C." was a violation of the law since he was not a licensed physician. Holland testified that he was a graduate of the Metropolitan Institute of Chiropractic and that the initials designated him as "Doctor of Chiropractic, Master of Chiropractic, and Philosopher of Chiropractic" and that his diplomas entitled him to these degrees.
The convicted chiropractor will be recalled as the central figure and chief witness in a ball bond case and a charge of destroying evidence pending against Junius M. Green, bondman, in the Court of Special Sessions. The case is scheduled for trial Dec. 26. Holland was acquitted a year ago on a similar charge of practicing medicine illegally.

Following the crime, Perkins sought to escape by fleeing from his apartment to Morningside avenue. His wounded left hand, however, left a trail of blood behind him. At 123d street and Morningside avenue he was arrested by Patrolman Moore of the West 123d street station, to whom he confessed killing his wife. In admitting his guilt, Perkins is alleged to have said that he killed his spouse in a fit of anger after she had threatened him with the knife. In struggling for its possession, he said, his hand was cut. Infuriated, he wrested the knife from his mate and plunged it twice to the hilt in her breast.

Dentist Freed on Narcotics Charge
Federal Judge Refuses to Let Case Go to Court Jury
Charges of illegal sale of narcotics against Dr. Subbeal S. Anderson, dentist, 230 Edgecombe avenue, were dismissed Thursday in the Southern District Federal Court when Judge Frank J. Coleman ordered a not guilty verdict and discharged the jury. Judge Coleman declared that the government had produced only circumstantial evidence tending to show that the dentist had sold narcotics. Had the jury gone out and returned a guilty verdict, he would have set aside the ruling. Judge Coleman said.
James Washinton of Boston, a World War veteran, who, according to Dr. Anderson, came to his office and robbed him of a morphine tablet while threatening him with a gun. was one of the witnesses in the case. Judge Coleman ordered Washington held for examination by physicians of the Veterans' Hospital, who learned Friday that Washington was suffering from tuberculosis. He will probably be committed to a hospital this week.
Dr. Anderson was arrested October 14 in his office and was accused of dispensing cocaine and morphine. The arrest was made by Federal Agent McMann, who charged that he gave marked money to an agent to purchase narcotics from Dr. Anderson and later found the money in the dentist's pocket.
Judge Coleman stated that he did not believe all the allegations made by the arresting officers.
James C. Thomas, former United States assistant district attorney, and the Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Grace Congregational Church, were character witnesses for Dr. Anderson.
Will Probe Death Of "Policy" Girl
Police Want to Know Why Killers of Adelaide Williams Escaped
The Police Department, which has felt the brunt of the Appellate Division's probe of the Magistrates' Courts, yesterday was known to be preparing to investigate the death of pretty Adelaine B. Williams, whose body was found floating in Harlem River on May 9 after she had been missing exactly six weeks. The investigation will attempt to establish reasons for the girl's disappearance and death, and will seek to learn why no arrests were made when clues were very much in evidence.
The girl's reputed association with the "numbers" racket, a prominent "banker" of the game and her alleged intimate relations with a prominent Harlem minister will also face probable examination in the inquiry. Although Mrs. Lovie M. Gary, 3583 Fish avenue, mother of Miss Williams, offered $500 reward for information about her daughter's death, no policeman came forward to claim the money.
It was definitely established that Miss Williams was threatened by her former friends before her disappearance. The man alleged to have made the threat, however, was given no such grilling as is handed to common offenders.
That man, a "banker," was forgotten when the listless and aimless investigation was made in 1929. The police are expected to call witnesses soon to learn just what police of Harlem and the Bronx knew about the mess.
Miss Williams lived in fear of her life for weeks and was believed to have been lured to her death by a telephone call.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 15
(ANP). -Timothy Rouse, employed, as ordered by the Municipal Hospital located on Davis Island, was accused of approaching one of the white nurses and asking her to kiss him while riding on the elevator. He was arrested the following morning and put in jail. Without a trial or hearing he was released about midnight.
His release seemed to have been timed with the assembling of a mob, for before he had gotten a block from the jail he was taken by a mob and carried to some part of the city, anesthetized and an operation performed, evidently by a physician, and left by the roadside. An ambulance was called and advised to pick up a patient at this point. He was taken to a Negro hospital for treatment.
Rouse married about a year ago, but has no children. He is 24 years of age.
James E. Hunter, Brother of Policeman, Succumbs
Funeral services for James Emmett Hunter, 47, a railroad employee, were conducted by the Rev. C. M. Bolden, assistant pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, on Friday at Perry's undertaking establishment, 138 West 132d street.
Mr. Hunter, who was the son of Mrs. Mary B. Hunter of 677 East 225th street, died of heart disease in Washington on December 9. He is also survived by his wife, Mrs. Madeline Hunter, and a brother, William Hunter, a plainclothes officer. Burial took place in Woodlawn Cemetery.
The deceased's brother William was accused of "framing" Mme. Stephanie St. Clair, former "numbers" operator, when she returned from prison two weeks ago after serving eight months.

Two Will Face Homicide Court Judge Tomorrow for Brutal Harlem Slaying
Alleged Killers of Man Knifed to Death on 143d Street Denied Bail by Magistrate When Given First Hearing in Murder
Accused of slashing to death Daniel Gaston Flowers, 308 West 127th street, whose mutilated body was found in the rear of an apartment house at 247 West 143d street on the morning of December 7, John Williams, 240 West 143d street, and George Smith, 5 East 135th street, will be arraigned in Homicide Court
The woman was arrested in her home by Detective Webber of the West 136th street station. The policeman said she confessed that she stabbed Johannes Knudsen, white, 30, 60 Second place, Brooklyn, to death. Knudsen was found in the hallway of the Eighth avenue house with a stab wound in his abdomen.
Arranged Monday in Homelide Court before Magistrate Brough, Miss Crawford was held without ball for a hearing next Tuesday.
According to the police, Miss Crawford said Knudsen followed her home Friday afternoon and attempted to attack her in the apartment. In defense, she is credited with saying, she plunged a kitchen knife into his body. The horrified girl is said to have dragged the lifeless man to the hallway, where he was found later by a tenant who summoned the police. Knudsen was pronounced dead by Dr. Furagy of Harlem Hospital.
When first questioned Miss Crawford denied that she had ever seen Knudsen. The police, however, found blood stains on the kitchen and bathroom floors. Confronted with this grim evidence, she is alleged to have broken down and admitted the slaying.
Former Policeman Held
Lee Lewisome, 34, 262 West 154th street, who described himself as a former policeman, was held for a further hearing in $100 bail on a disorderly conduct charge Sunday in Heights Court. Patrolman Hawkins of the West 136th street station said Lewisome struck him when he was told to go home after creating a disturbance on the street.

THE HARLEM CO-OPERATING COMMITTEE ON RELIEF AND UNEMPLOYMENT
NOT in recent years has there been such a dire necessity for the exemplification of that old-fashioned Christmas spirit that was not satisfied to stop at spreading joy among one's own relations and friends. With unemployment rife in the land, Christmas will be a day of mourning for thousands of children, and grown-ups, too, unless those who are fortunate enough to be gainfully employed share with those who are not.
Ordinarily, Christmas gifts lean away from the necessities of life towards the more beautiful luxuries; but this year the cry from the poor, and from those who have seen much better days, is for jobs, food, shelter and clothing. Give these things first to those who need them most before buying luxuries for yourself or for those near and dear to you.
Remember, that thousands of the needy this year are people who last year had prospects as bright as you have today. Remember, also, that they have been brought to want through no fault or act of their own. You might easily have been among them and be found looking to your fellowman for succor and sustenance.
The Harlem Co-operating Committee on Relief and Unemployment has headquarters at No. 111 West 135th street, telephone Bradhurst 7951, and will be glad to furnish you with information concerning all organizations doing relief work in Harlem, or direct you to families in need of your aid.
DOUGLASS NATIONAL BANK WEATHERS RUN STARTED BY RUMORS
Chandler Owen, Dr. Scott's Kin, Rev. Braden, Broker and Woman Among Those Questioned at State's Attorney's Office
CHICAGO, Dec. 15 (ANP).—Definite action was undertaken here this week against the circulation of irresponsible rumors against financial institutions that have been whispered around with increasing frequency since the failure of three banks in August, by officials of the Douglass National Bank.
The action on the part of the Douglass National Bank and National Bank Examiner Leyden followed a small-sized run on the Douglass two weeks ago. The bank had come out of the August panic in good condition, but the failure of the other banks to reorganize, the closing of many other banks, white and colored, in the Middle West and the South, brought about a condition of apprehension and suspicion which made some people ready listeners to casual remarks about the institution.
There has been some talk of a conspiracy to wreck the Douglass by some persons who were unable to secure credit at the bank.
The persons called for questioning before the State's Attorney were Chandler Owen, former co-editor of the Messenger Magazine, former candidate for Congress, orator and marshal.

It is stated that each of these individuals disclaimed all responsibility for the circulation of reports injurious to the bank in their statements at the State's Attorney's office.

Abyssinian Pastor Says Ministers Should Give Jobless Aid, or Quit
Declares Preachers Have Robbed People Under Guise of Religion and Should Restore Loot—Calls for Organizations' Help
A spirited challenge was flung into the face of the church and the ministry Monday when the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, declared that the churches which do not rise to meet the tremendous emergency of unemployment and misery should close their doors and be never remembered again.
How to Call the new way
Each telephone Central Office in New York City will now have a numeral included as part of its name.
For example HANover becomes HANover 2. TREmont becomes TRemont 3. And so on.
This does not change the familiar line-numbers themselves.
When you dial, merely substitute the correct numeral for the third letter you have been dialing. Dial HA2 for Hanover. To reach the telephone heretofore listed as HANover 9970,
This is the ONLY change
DIAL HA2 - 9970
INSTEAD OF HAN - 9970
Remember this simple change
Please note that you dial the first TWO letters only and then the office numeral. If you dial the three letters and the numeral, you will get a wrong connection.
In calling by voice, just add the office numeral to the name. Say Hanover 2—9.9.7.0.
You will find correct office numerals in the new directories and in cards and booklets which have been distributed to subscribers. Extra copies of these cards and booklets may be secured from any Telephone Business Office.
When the new way starts
Effective as soon as you receive your new directory. Telephone users are requested to begin making all city calls the new way when they get their winter directory. In Manhattan and The Bronx, delivery of the directory is now under way. In Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island the delivery will start December 30.
Calls may be made the old way temporarily. During the period of directory delivery and while telephone users are becoming accustomed to the new way, calls may be made either way.

The Rev. Mr. Powell's statement came as an answer to a syndicated article by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Women's Training School in Washington. Miss Burroughs mercilessly castigated churches, fraternal and welfare organizations for their indifference toward the suffering populace. The educator, said the Rev. Mr. Powell, "characterized Negro leaders as 'hibernating groundhogs, who will peep out in February to see if winter is over,' and concluded with this stinging challenge: 'If we have leaders, now is the time for them to go leading the people and stop bleeding the people.'"
In his reply the churchman said: "Every close observer will admit that the situation is the most tragic we have faced since the Emancipation. If there was any doubt about the seriousness of the depression among Negroes that doubt was dispelled about two weeks ago when T. Arnold Hill of the National Urban League completed and published a survey of unemployment among Negroes in the United States. This report shows that about one-fourth of the colored people in the twenty-five large cities are out of work and hungry. This is not only a most pathetic challenge to every race leader and race organization but to every Negro individual who has a job and is living comfortably. If the churches do not answer this challenge they ought to shut up and close up.

Seeks to Serve Friend's Sentence
MERIDIAN, Miss., Dec. 15
"I wants to ask the court to let me serve Lillie's time. She has two children, and I haven't any."
So pleaded Hanna Harris when given an opportunity to make a statement before being sentenced along with Lillie Watson on a charge of burglary.
A look of sympathy came over the face of Circuit Judge J. D. Fatherce and he paused before he spoke.
"That is very kind, very considerate of you," he said, "but I will be unable to do it. I must impose the will of the law. I wish that I could help you, but I cannot."
Hanna and Lillie had been indicted by the Grund Jury on a charge of burglary. At first, they enforced pleas of not guilty, but changed their plea to that of guilty. They were sentenced to serve one year each in the penitentiary.
Woman Hurt When Plane Drops Iron Upon House
A woman was slightly injured late Saturday when an unidentified airplane, flying over Harlem, dropped a cylindrical piece of iron and a number of iron screws against the side of an apartment house.
The iron struck the roof of a house at 128 West 137th street, and bounded to the roof of 136. Plaster was knocked from the ceiling at 136, and Mrs. Adell Brismaid, 31, 239 West 129th street, suffered slight bruises.
Patrolman Benjamin Williams of the West 136th street station was called to the scene. He took the cylinder to the station house after making inquiries. Persons living in the vicinity said a white airplane passed over Harlem about the time Mrs. Brismaid said she was hurt.

Three Boys Held In Jersey Murder

volver in his hand. Then began a pistol duel between the policeman and the gunman. Ruark fell with two bullets near his heart and the car sped away.
Murder Mislends Police.
A police patrol car, manned by Sergeant John Varley and Patrolman John Waldron, was in the vicinity, and sped after the fleeing car. Down the Lincoln Highway the youths abandoned the car in the Kearny meadows and hid in the tall grass of the marshy swampland. The alarm given, soon 200 men with flashlights combed the-area. An earlier murder of a bartender in Bayonne, N. J., caused police to take extra precautions in the belief that the boys they sought in the swamp were killers. Orders were given to shoot them on sight unless they surrendered immediately.
Chauffeur Captures One. Mitchell was the first of the trio to be captured by Varley and Waldron. A few minutes later Williams was found hiding under a box car on a sliding near the meadows. George, the last to be apprehended, successfully evaded his pursuers only to be taken into custody by Javris Adams, 65 East 132d street, a truck driver, who discovered him hanging on the chassis of his truck's trailer. When George, or McClain as he is also known, resisted Adams, the latter feiled him with a monkey wrench and then proceeded with him to the Kearny police headquarters.
140th street. They were on their way to Newark, they said, to meet a friend when Ruark hailed them.
When arraigned in court later in the day, the youthful gunmen were held without bail on a charge of first degree murder by Judge Frank Eggers.
Just before the fatal shooting of Ruark, a general alarm had been sent out to all police following the murder of Rufus Thomas in the Dewdrop Inn, a speakeasy at 66 West Twentieth street, Bayonne. The arrested youths, however, it later developed, had nothing to do with this shooting, as Baron Davis, alleged owner of the inn, was found in the Bayonne hospital with a knife wound in the neck. Police say Davis confessed he had shot Thomas after the other had abbed him in a dispute over the profits of the place.

It should not be surprising then that the Negro has not turned to Communism, but this is no proof that he will always be satisfied to remain loyal to a government that gives him nothing but abuse in return for his loyalty.

INFANT MORTALITY RATE DROPS 61%

Harlem Health Agency's Study Shows Huge Decrease in Deaths Since 1910
Harlem Health Agency's Study Shows Huge Decrease in Deaths Since 1910
Report Places Negro Population at 369,000 and Asserts Queens Mothers Lost Only 69 Babies of Every 1,000 in 1929
The mortality rate for Negro infants in New York has taken a drop of 61 per cent since 1910, according to a report by Godias J. Drolet, consulting statistician of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, of 108 West 136th street.

The study was made from records of the Health Department, showing the distribution of 7,384 births in New York in 1929. In 1910 infant mortality of the colored was at the rate of 200 per 1,000 births; the 1929 rate was down to 101, or 61 per cent lower, a tremendous gain. During the same period the infant mortality among white children was reduced 54 per cent, namely, from 123 to 56.
From the recent figures of births the total colored population of Greater New York is figured by Drolet at 369,000. In Manhattan it is close to 240,000; in Brooklyn, 94,150; in the Bronx, 16,350; in Queens, 16,050; in Richmond, 2,600.
In central Hartem there are 133,500 residents. Drolet also found large colonies, numbering some 39,000, in the east Harlem district of Manhattan; 28,000 in parts of Washington Heights; another 20,000 touching Central Park West, on Columbus avenue, and in sections of the Riverside districts, and another 16,000 in the lower west side, particularly in the San Juan and Columbus Hill neighborhood.
"It was striking," said Drolet, "to find health areas in New York City where occasionally the infant mortality of the colored averaged even lower than that of the white babies in the same section. Leading causes of infant mortality among the colored population are prematurity, injury at birth, broncho-pneumonia and lobar pneumonia."
Rate Highest Downtown
"At present," says Drolet. "there are still certain districts in the more congested sections where the local infant mortality rate is high: In the lower west side district of Manhattan, 149 infant deaths for each 1,000 babies born; in central Harlem, a rate of 107 in 1929. Among the colored in Washington Heights it was 96, and in parts of the Riverside health district, only 65.
"In the Bronx the highest infant mortality rate among the colored is in the Mott Haven section and among a small group in Tremont.
"In Brooklyn, where for the entire in the Mott Haven section and among the colored in 1929 was 97, there were higher rates, first of all, in Williamsburg; second, in Red Hook and, third, in the Fort Greene districts. But in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn remarkably lower rates, ranging between 51 and 54, were found.
"Queens Borough had, for any large action, the lowest infant mortality among the colored in 1829, an average of 69 colored infant deaths per 1,000 births."
Behind on "T. B." Harlem's problems presented by the presence of tuberculosis corresponds with those faced by the whites a hundred years ago, according to a study of the uptown community made by Dr. Winifred P. Nathan, made public by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. Mr. Nathan's report, which was based on a study of five years' statistics, extending from 1923 to 1927, inclusive, reveals much enlightening and hitherto unknown data concerning Harlem. For one thing, it shows that in minor cases of mortality Harlem's rate is much akin to New York as a whole, in some cases, indeed, being even better than that of the rest of the city.

Feet Too Large; Two Men Freed
MACON, Ga., Dec. 15 (ANP.)
—Jesse Glenn and Walter Banks wear No. 1311 shoes, and that's why they are not in jail. They were held in the stockade for a minor offense until they asked the superintendent for shoes. The superintendent took one look at their feet and appealed to the mayor.
"We can't work them bare-foot," said the mayor, "and we can't find shoes big enough to fit them." So they were released.

Newark Citizens Demand White Janitors Be Haled to Trial
Newark's citizenry is up in arms and demand punishment for two white janitors of the Belmont Avenue School, who are awaiting action of the Essex County Grand Jury on charges of assaulting two eight-year-old pupils of the school. Forty ministers, representing six denominations, were present at a protest meeting Thursday, and the public will gather at another meeting tonight at the New Hope Baptist Church. The Essex County Civic Federation, the Newark branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Baptist Ministers' Conference and the Committee of Interdenominational Ministers are expected to have delegations present.
The accused men are Frank Lennon and Nicholas Leo. They were paroled without ball requirements when arraigned before Judge Simandl in the Family Court. The N. A. A. C. P. was given the case Dec. 8. J. Mercer Burrell, chairman of the N. A. A. C. P. legal committee, will lead the court fight for the prosecution of the men.
The Board of Education has been sent a set of resolutions denouncing that body for not suspending the janitors in view of the serious charges pending against them.
The leaders heading the public groups said on Monday that they were handicapped because of reluctance of the Belmont school authorities to accept testimony from colored girls.

Charges that Bronx landlords demand higher rentals when their apartment houses are vacated by whites were made Sunday at a meeting of the United Rent Payers' League in its headquarters at 1083 Union avenue. A. McDonald Inll is president of the league.

Fuller Brush Impostor's Victim Receives Rebuff
The varying and mystifying attitudes exhibited by the management of the local branch of the Fuller Brush Company continued Monday when a Harlem hotel proprietor's wife, who had been defrauded of $4.50 by a fake Fuller agent, was rebuffed when she presented her receipt.
The woman was Mrs. Charles J. Jones, 449 West 153d street, wife of the owner of the Hotel Rockland. Several other persons who fell victim to the fake agent, who called himself John Screan, had been offered allowances for the amounts they paid the impostor. Mrs. Jones was curtly informed that the company would not give recognition to her payment to Screan.
The National Better Business Bureau, Inc., has been asked to investigate the affair. It now develops that Alfred C. Fuller, president of the brush company, is also president of the business bureau.
Three Denied Bail For Check Forgery
Harlem Printer and Two White Men Taken in Alleged Fraud
Percy Hill, 32, 11 West 137th street, who conducts a printing shop at 52 East 132d street, and two white men, Sol Weberman, 48, 36 East 200th street, and Joseph Silverman, 50, 1244 Westchester avenue, were held without bail for a further hearing on forgery charges when they faced Magistrate Capshaw last Wednesday in Harlem Court.
The prisoners are charged with acting in concert in printing checks of the Paramount Broadway Corporation, drawn on the Empire Trust Company, 580 Fifth avenue. The bank recently discovered one of their cancelled checks belonging to the Paramount Broadway Corporation missing. A few days later the bank was informed by a printer to whom Hill is alleged to have applied for certain type that they had been requested to print Empire Trust Company bank checks bearing the Paramount Broadway Corporation trade mark.
The police were notified and, after an investigation, Detective Walsh of Inspector Sullivan's squad went to the printing shop of Hill, where they found Weberman and Silverman. All three were arrested. In the printing shop the detective alleges he found several hundred checks on the Empire Trust Company, bearing the name of the Paramount Corporation. Hill, the police say, was arrested twice before for counterfeiting, while Weberman was convicted twice before for grand larceny and also for petty larceny. He was also arrested on a charge of counterfeiting, a charge which is still pending against him, the police say.

Defendant Made Marriage His Specialty and Faced Trial for His Sins on One of His Lucky Days
Finding life with a single mate devoid of the conjugal thrills and bliss he had anticipated, one client of Richard E. Carey, attorney, 2376 Seventh avenue, tried the altar again—but neglected legally to tear "asunder what God had joined."
The suspicions of the second wife carried her spouse into court, and the state uncovered a third wife. All three had been wedded in the conventional manner to the defendant, and they lived within a radius of twenty blocks in Harlem.

The prosecution produced the second wife in court and offered her testimony and marriage certificate. The state also presented the marriage certificate of the third wife, but she did not appear in court against her husband, although she was alleged to be living with him at the time the case reached trial.

Funeral Held for Dr. L. Y. Granger
Newark Man Came From Family With Four Physicians
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon for Dr. Leo Y. Granger, 36, at his late residence, 28 Richmond street, Newark, with the Rev. Louis Berry, rector of St. Philip's P. E. Church, and the Rev. George Plasket, pastor of the Epiphany Mission, both of Newark, officiating. Dr. Granger, who died at Beth Israel Hospital Saturday after an illness of a month's duration, was born in Tulsa, Okla. His parents moved to Newark, where he attended the public schools. He later attended Dartmouth College, where he received the degree of bachelor of science. While at Dartmouth, Dr. Granger was a member of the track team. After graduation, from Dartmouth, he entered the Medical School of Columbia University, from which he received his M. D. degree.
Surviving Dr. Granger are his mother, Mrs. Mary Turpin Granger; his wife, Mrs. Ethel Granger; a son, Leo Y. Granger, Jr., 11, and five brothers, four of whom are physicians. They are Dr. Lloyd Granger, Newark; Dr. Augustus Granger, Harrisburg, Pa.; Dr. Carl and William R. R. Granger, Brooklyn, and Lester B. Granger, director of the Urban League, Los Angeles, Calif.

During the lawyer's investigation he discovered that his client's marital career had not been confined to New York, but that two more women were attached to him elsewhere.

Moses M. Mimms Takes Part in Ball
At the replica of the famous Gallico Ball of Civil War days, sponsored by the Junior League of Brooklyn, a white organization, at Hotel St. George last week, Moses M. Minums of 315 West 19th street played an important part. It was his duty to be page to Bruce Bromley, master of ceremonies.

Association Promotes Concert-Bridge Party
The Parents and Neighborhood Association of Public School No. 157 gave a concert and bridge party last Wednesday.

The demand demand aspirin from a closely guarded secret of the medical profession, first compounded by an obscure country chemist, until today doctors and public alike know and have faith in aspirin and that faith has made aspirin the largest selling medicine in the world. There is one laboratory alone in Memphis, Tenn., which produced over nine million boxes of pure aspirin last year and this aspirin, known the country over as St. Joseph's Pure Aspirin, is sold in convenient tins for 10c for a dozen tablets of guaranteed pure aspirin.
Sensible economy and a sureness in its purity has directed thousands to demand only St. Joseph's Pure Aspirin which conforms to all government standards.
It is generally known in medical circles that the manufacturers of St. Joseph's Pure Aspirin guarantee that it is as pure as money can buy.

Feel all of these 22 ingredients—22 of them the juices of roots and herbs—at work cleansing the system of poisons and impurities; feel coming over you that glorious feeling of betrayment you have so long lost in the experience of Mrs. Amie Carter, 369 West 126th street, New York, and then visit the Konjola Man nearest you, and get all the facts about Konjola. There is a Konjola Man at the Whelen drug store. Slat street at Broadway, New York, and the Hanoi drug store, 393 Bridge the Nurse Fulton, Brooklyn. But right read, what Mrs. Carter says:
"For two years I was tired, worn out and had about half enough energy. I had little appetite, and the lightest food was followed by gas, blasting and pain. I had dizzy spells, too, that left me completely worn out. I tried many medicines without results, but three bottles of Kenolja made me feel so good that I felt like pitching into my work every morning. I have no constipation, no indigestion and I am gaining weight."

THOUGHTS of prisons and criminals are not so pleasant as those of Christmas and the many motives that should prompt your thinking of others at this season of the year; but since certain sociological conditions, like the poor, are with us always, we cannot pass them by.
The Federal government has announced plans for a new penitentiary near Lewisburg, Pa., which will cost about $3,500,000. A survey was made of American and European prisons before it was decided by the planners of this one that "ideal" quarters for law breakers should be inside cell blocks for the hardened criminals, and outside rooms, approximating the living quarters of normal and free persons, for those who are graduated from one class to another.
This graduation, as it were, will be through various types of environments. For the prisoners there are to be opportunities to go to school and to vocational training classes; to work in prison industries or on the farm. Some of these opportunities exist at other prisons today, but not on the scale planned for the new "pen."
The Department of Justice is to rush the construction so that many unemployed persons will have work for a while. That part's all right.
As long as we have prisoners, we must have some place in which to keep them, places far different from those of the dungeon days, but at the same time we cannot afford to make the penitentiaries and the discipline enforced in them too inviting. Some people, you know, are so made that they really would prefer being in comfortable "pens" to being tree, when freedom carries with it worries about food, clothing and shelter—T. E. B.

HOW TO LOOK Your Best
How to Dress Your Hair
EVERY once in a while our hair puzzles us. We wonder just what are the latest methods. We wonder if the bob is still the favorite.
One of the outstanding characteristics of the present hair styles is that the hair is off the ears and forehead.
The hair is no longer allowed to fall in curls and ringlets all over the side of face, nor is it worn fluffed out all over the head.
The stylish woman has her hair marcelled and she wears it close to the head, either entirely behind the ears or partially covering them. She has it rolled into a small knot at the back of her neck, or she has the ends carefully turned up or pinned close to the neck.
Bangs are taboo. There are a few types, of course, that are exceptions. Some people really do look better with them and need them to keep the face from looking too bare.
Dear C:
No, it is not vulgar to use the right kind of perfume. A mild, pleasant scented perfume is an assoc. FANNIEKE

Learn How to Carve and Avoid Being Embarrassed
Your dinner engagements may be plentiful. And with these engagements comes the chance of your being asked to carve the fowl at the dinner table. This chance may embarrass you, if you are not careful and if you are not prepared for it. "Practice makes perfect" even in the carving of fowl.
Candle Salad
THE Christmas candle salad, simple as it is, will live forever. As it is extremely healthful and lends a delightful touch to the Christmas dinner, we are perfectly willing to see it enjoy such a long life.
Place a slice of canned or fresh pineapple on some crisp lettuce leaves. On the pineapple place a thick slice of seedless orange. On the center of the orange place half a banana, upright. On the peak of the banana place a red cherry or some other red fruit or berry. Pour a little marshmallow whip and whip cream on the banana, and just be prepared to sprinkle the whole salad with a syrup made by dissolving three or four teaspoons of sugar in the juice of two oranges and one lemon. Of course, the banana is the candle.

To Carve and
ing Embarrassed
May Ask You to Serve
You Are Least Prepared;

may be plentiful. And with these
of your being asked to carve the
chance may embarrass you. if you
are not prepared for it. "Practice
wing of fowl."
In carving your aim should be to give the correct proportions; to starve one person and to stuff another is a faux pas. Try these simple rules of carving and you won't have to be embarrassed any longer. First, cut off the legs of the fowl by making a deep incision with a sharp knife from above and from below where the second joint joins the carcass. Separate the drumssticks from the second joints, cutting through the joints. When carving very small birds, leave the drumssticks and second joints together.
The wings are cut off in the joint with a small piece of breast attached. Separate the breastbone from the back by laying the poultry on its side, placing a sharp knife firmly on it in the correct position, and striking down on this with a wooden mallet (in the case of turkey carving), so that a clean, smooth cut results. If the turkey breast is large and full, the back should not be sent to the table.
Meat from the breast is cut away from the bone lengthwise into nice, even slices or across in slanting slices, cutting the brown roasted skin smoothly with it. Lay it back on the breastbone; place this on the platter with the second joint, legs and wings in their natural position.
If the fowl is carved entirely in the kitchen, paper frills should be attached to the legs and gravity should be poured on the platter, but not over the fowl. Garnish the bird with watercress, lettuce leaves and scraped horseradish; or, if desired, with potatoes, serving very hot.
In case you have two roasted fowls, you can serve them so that they appear like one large one with a very full breast, by using only two of the legs and wings, and laying the white meat of both fowls on the breastbone of one.

Christmas Dinner Hints
ABOUT the only thing one can say against the Christmas dinner is that it is likely to produce undesirable after-effects. Unfortunately, too many of our Christmas delicacies are the heavy acid-reaction foods, and unless we are careful, a bountiful Christmas feast is likely to reduce the alkalinity of our bodies.
This may be avoided by serving plenty of green vegetables and fresh fruits in various ways so that the space in hungry stomachs will be filled largely by these alkaline-reaction foods.
The adults will eat plenty of celery, lettuce and other green vegetables. Children will in many cases refuse to eat these but will not refuse a fruit cup, fruit salad or some light dessert containing fruit.
Start your Christmas dinner with a fruit cup containing oranges, pineapple and a third fruit or your choice. Serve a salad will Hintify of greenery vegetables on the table, particularly uncooked vegetables.
A Christmas punch is also good. A glass of this or of lemonade for the children will help balance the heavy meal and incense. They cannot hold that second or third piece of turkey for which they have been clamoring.
Pickles an Garnishes
DO you take advantage of the tasteful little garnish? Many do not and thus lose a wonderful opportunity to impress their guests with the daintiness and delicousness of some dish placed before them. The morning lamb chop, if accompanied by a crisp leaf of lettuce, on which has been placed an equiv crisp the lamb chop, or an imitation than the lamb chop alone. The first nibble at the crisp pickle whets the appetite for the delicious chop. Garnishes should be featured as much as possible. Not only are they attractive to the eye, but they serve as appetizers and in many cases furnish the body with a surprising amount of minerals and salts that are greatly needed. Two or three bottles of pickles of various kinds placed upon the unevenly self will please you to garnish many of your dishes, even when company arrives unexpectedly.
TO CLEAN CORALS.
If your coral beads have a dull, ugly look, they are in need of cleaning. To clean them, dissolve a teaspoon of borax in a pint of warm water and add a little citric solution. When clean, rinse in lukewarm water and dry on a towel.

I am a young man of 22. I love a girl of 18 very much and we have been keeping company for the past six months. She promised to marry me and seemed to care for me. Lately she has been acting queer. She always had some excuse when I tried to make a date and when I did see her she acted indifferent. I asked her what was the trouble and she said that I wouldn't understand. I heard that she was at a dance with another fellow and she admitted that she was when I questioned her. Yesterday she called me up and invited me over to her house. I went and she was very sweet. She asked me to forgive her, but when I asked if I could take her to a Christmas matinee-dance she refused and said that she wouldn't be able to go. I love this girl, so tell me what
do you think of her, Miss Ann?
RONALD.
Dear Ronald:
I think you have a rival. The girl evidently prefers him, but is trying to hold onto you, too. Do you want to play second fiddle?
Perhaps she's getting interested in you because Christmas is near at hand. Not a nice thought, but it's possible.
If she has promised to be your wife she should prefer you to all others. Make her choose one way or the other is my advice.
NEW HOME FOR WOMEN. The Sylvia Club, a new home for women and girls, has been opened at 437 Manhattan avenue. Helene E. Gazin Fay is the director.
The woman whose step is springy and youthful, whose eyes sparkle and glisten, whose every movement radiates the vitality and energy of natural charm is always popular, always sought after. Men surround her at every dance or party she attends. For men are attracted to strong, healthy, energetic women; but—women who are weak, rundown and constantly ailing can not expect to be popular. Don't let popularity pass you by. Don't be a slave to poor health and to a hundred petty ailments. Start taking St. Joseph's G.F.P. today and

You'll be pleasantly surprised when you make up this simple home mixture and try it for a distressing cough or chest cold. It takes but a moment to mix and costs little, but it can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief. Get 25 ounces of Pinex from any druggist. Pour this into a pint bottle; then fill it with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. The full pint thus made costs no more than a small bottle of ready-made medicine, yet it is much more effective. It is pure, keeps the children and children love its pleasant taste. This simple remedy has a remarkable three-fold action. It goes right to the seat of trouble, loosens the germen plegm, and soothes the inflammation. Part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts as a natural antiseptic, thus helps inwardly to throw off the whole trouble with surprising ease. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of cresose, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents of cough, chest cold and bronchial troubles.

Dr. B. Halnes, of 65th Street and Columbus Avenue, entrance 144 Columbus Avenue, offers his personal services free of charge to the unemployed.
Dr. Halnes knows that there are many persons at this time urgently in need of dental treatment and yet would rather risk the clinic 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. The 66th St. Stations of the 6th and 9th Ave. Elevated Railways and the Interborough, 7th Ave. and Broadway subways are right at the door.

GANGWAY!
By 8. Put Whitney.
"GANGWAY! gangway for the Lawd
"GANGWAY! gangway for the Lawd God Jehovah!" Gabriel, the herald angel of "The Green Pastures," makes the announcement. The festivities cease. The angels give reverent attention. Slowly, majestically, the "Lawd" enters. There is a moment of breathless silence as the "Lawd" regards his angels with tender kindness, then He interrogates: "Is you been baptized?" The answer is prompt and voluminous, "certty Lawd!" "Is you been redeemed?" The voices are lowered, "Certty Lawd!" "Does you bow Mighty low?" The voices are subdued to a tense emotional whisper, "Certty Lawd!" The Lawd's face beams with holy satisfaction, then he announces, "Let the fish-ry proceed!" That is the condensed sermon of "The Green Pastures." Are our hearts selfishness and unselfish desires? Have we conceived ourselves to His servant? Are we humble and grateful for His many blessings? If so, then it is right and proper that we enjoy ourselves.
Charles Wesley Hill, the terrestrial Gabriel of the "Green Pastures," has answered the trumpet call of the celestial Gabriel. Early last Wednesday morning, at 12th street and Eighth avenue, while Wesley was wending his way homeward. Death under cover of the darkness, struck swiftly and surely in a moment Wesley's body was a broken, bloody mass of quivering flesh. A taint-cab and a speed-drunk driver were the instruments death used with such fatal effect.
At the Florence Mills Theatrical Association, of which Wesley was a charter, conscientious and active member of the tragic news acted with the effect of the explosion of a bomb. All activities immediately ceased and the members hurried to render assistance and comfort to his stricken wife.
Only a few members of "The Green Pastures" company had any knowledge of the accident until they reached the Mansfield Theatre Wednesday morning, for the regular weekly rehearsal, Mr. Stebbins, Connellly, Mr. Stearns and Miss Bridges, promoters of the show, were early at the theatre, shocked and grieved almost beyond, expression, and they, with Mr. Curtis and Mr. Archer, exerted themselves toward soothing the grief of the members of the company, Mr. Harrison withstood the shock like an elephant, life is trained to withstand the bludgeonings of fate, "Gabe" was his right-hand man off stage as well as on, and he was deeply grieved at the sad news.
"Gabe," as Wesley was affectionately called by members and stagehands of the company, by reason of his genial disposition and irresistible good-humor, he made a favorite. The little cherubs waited upon him for their daily romp about the stage, and sick or well, he never disappointed them. For several years Wesley had suffered from two malignant diseases: high-blood pressure and hardening of the heart, unpleasant by infliction uncomplainingly and with a courageous indifference to the close proximity of death that an ancient Spartan would have envied. He fortified himself with a wall of humor and parried Death's frequent thrusts with that God admirable courage more than any other human quality, and Wesley's courage was developed to such a high degree that Death could not daunt him. When confronted by life's preconcilable enemy he augured in death to deliver to his fatal thrust when Wesley was unaware of his presence.
It was a sad-eyed, tear-dimmed company of players, who gave the Wednesday matinee. "Gabe" was gone, but the show must go on. That is the way of life. Death strikes. When the person affected is unknown to us, it is merely a reaggregable incident; but when death severes the bonds of love and affection it is a catastrophe. But even so, shines on: we move steps onward to move steadily toward its divine source. And that is how it should be. Death should not occasion us much concern, for it is inevitable. But we should be vital occupied with the task of living. We should learn how to extract all possible pleasure from life. How to give all possible pleasure to the living and to trust no future, "however pleasant." Our lives are so short and time so fleeting, we should live it to tell us without selfishness, hatred, and that every moment, hour and day that the blood of life courses through our veins.
Time! what is time? Time is our name for something that we use as a hat-rack to hang our minds upon. We are not capable of comprehending the infinity of what we call time. Time, as a metaphor, is a pendulum, a pendulum, and equalizer. It is our life and enjoy only from moment to moment as we possess it. Life is so bewilderingly mystifying and death so intriguingly awesome that we are forever hopelessly struggling to know the one and avoid the other. Life is Death. Death is Scilla. We are caught between the two. We may not escape life but by the way of death. And after death, what? If, as Mr. Einstein declares, it is extinction, then what is the use of it all? Mr. Einstein says that only the timid and the fearful look to a life and avoid but to me it appears that a higher quality of experience is required to face a future that includes life after death, with a possibility of punishment and reward, than to look forward only to death and oblivion. If Mr. Einstein can comprehend in some small part the mysteries of the universe and then not see God as a motivating power, he will be blinded by his own evil and egocidion. Space will curve back upon itself, but this old world would be worn down to the size of a hickory nut before I could prove it by actual journey. Even now the unemployment situation is unimproved. Space may be solid but it has not reduced the price of eggs and butter. I would rather not move to the german on the author of the Theory of Relativity. While living, Wesley Hill was a dispenser of love, fun, lov, friendship, sunshine, and goodwill to his fellow man. What
WHITNEY TELLS OF THE DEPARTED 'GABRIEL' Wesley Hill Will Be Mourned by a Host of Friends
higher office can a man fulfill? God rest, his soul.
The body of Wesley Hill was buried from St. Mark's Church. The ceremonies were beautifully impressive. The floral tributes covered the large alter front and all but hid the pulpit. The church was not large enough to accommodate all those who wish to attend the services, and hundreds of people away. Eulogies were delivered by Rev. Robinson, Dr Garner, Richard B. Harrison and Daniel Haynes. Beautiful song numbers were rendered by Bertha Wright, Hall Johnson's "Green Pastures" choir and the choir of St. Mark's Church. The funeral service was organized by Harris and pallbearers were George Rendol, Ivan Sharp, Collington Haynes, Jesse Shipp, Charles A. Moore, Charles Wood, Alonzo Fenderson, Lucky Roberts, Irvin C. Miller, Salem Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, A. B. DeComathiere, Arthur Porter, Bill Robinson, Frank Wilson, Flournoy Miller, Aubrey Lyles, Jim Silver, Davis, Leigh Lyles, Adelaide Peer Ver. Juice Vodery, Euble Blake, Broadway Jones, J. Lewis Johnson, J. W. Mobley, Lew Peyton, Paul Floyd and Walter Parker. Every leading actor in the city who was not working or physically unable to attend, was present. We noticed Willie Glenn, Loyd Gibbs, John Glen, Moss and Fry, Adelaide Hall and many others can't recall Mr. Doyle, Mr. Connelly and Mr. Stewart, promoters of the show, were present. The entire working staff of the theatre attended in a body.
The Florence Mills Theatrical Association wishes to extend its deepest sympathy to the bereaved wife and relatives. Wesley was one of the most popularulp members. His passing is deply felt and sincerely regretted.
AN ENEMY IN WASTES OF NO MAN'S LAND
Halted in the Forest of the Argonne
By Don Bruganza.
POSSIBLY you won't believe it, but it's the truth just the same. Emory (Saskatchewan) Hutchins, who reminds the writer of Emil Vos Hagen, while Monte Hawley, who is at his best in bad man parts on the stage, and Billboard Jackson, Jr., with a pianist with the Irving, an entertainment, form a conversation which this writer objects to with all the emphasis on the objection in the world.
Of course you know that Emory in his spare moments is the house manager at the Lafayette Theatre. When the three of them above enumerated meet there are weird signs, strange gruntings and clam-like silence when a man bearing bona file credentials as an official observation appears on the other night, the public should be let in, and sticky, if we have anything to do with it they are going to be let in.
Clicking their heels together and coming to attention, looking straight at Hutchins, and drawing the right hand palm forward across their chests, both Hawley and Billboard, Jr., enunciated: "The Major will do the speaking." They then turned on their heels and left.
"Possibly," said the Major, "you have seen the picture playing here this week, yes." To which we replied in the affirmative, and for those not having witnessed the picture let us say that it was "The Bad Man." The Major, too, only that I am the Lozz, and in my countrie a man can do what he wants to do, have all the fun he cares to have—if he doesn't get shot."
He, too, turned on his heels and left, but we are not easily dismayed, so we waited outside the theatre until the wee hours of the morning. When the Major came out we struck the truss and we watched the crowd, the Major went, looking furtively behind as we just managed to duck into the shadows of some friendly stoop. Approaching an apartment house in a prominent neighborhood, the Major stopped, looked around and dashed in. By the time we had entered the hall, we were surrounded by video seeming to come from somewhere pretested us: "I am the corporal of the guard and in command of A Flight. There's an enemy in No Man's Land and this is the forest of the Argonne." From out of the shadows stepped Billboard, the Major, and we were in a long drawn out Ah—h—h—h! and shimmed the door behind him.
With the mystery deepening we decided to stay on the job and investigate. Possibly, we thought, Billboard, ar. simply meant to lead us from the trail, so we cautiously climb up one flight when a voice will swear, "Let me go." Let the stranger advance another step at his peril. I am the captain of B. Flight in the forest of the Argonne. A figure rushed past me, reached the main floor, ran through the hall to the front door, but stopped long enough to slip: Ah—h—h—".
Cautiously fully aroused, we decided to spot that Najar if it was not a job that was meant for a paper. Cautiously creeping up another flight we just stopped upon the landing with the intention of going to the next when a match scraped and there, as we hastily turned with drawn gun, stood a figure dressed with a blue coat, broadly attired and running down the side. A black mask bid the upper part of the face, but we are almost willing to make affidavit that from the little mustache it was that Hutchins man.
"So," said the person, "there are people in Harlem so interested in other people's business they spend their time following them around. Put up the toy pistol, brother, for if you display it I will give you get hurt. I am the Major of C Fitzgerald and enemy in No Man's Land." With that the figure dashed down the steps two and three at a time. Pointing the pistol at him I pressed the trigger four times, but all the response I got was the click, click as the empty barrel rolled around. That pistol was loaded when I started out, I'd swear, which only adds to the mystery and—what is this? Here I am looking at the show at the Lafayette Theatre. Have I been dreaming? Impossible! There is something wrong. I have three follows walking down the aisle together, whispering. What is it all about? Hey, "Hutch," where do you live?
"Ah—h—h—" said the three of them. If for nothing else than to satisfy the curiosity aroused in Mrs. Reagan we are going to solve this mystery.
The New York Amsterdam News
LIFE AND DEATH
Twin shades are they that never meet,
Although they pass upon God's street,
While but a breath doth intervene;
A single heart-beat in between
Their passing, yet we may not know
Their secret—why they come and go,
So powerless with yea or nay
To have them come or bid them stay.
DEATH guides all life. tis on the scroll.
LIFE runs its course, with DEATH the goal;
And DEATH, the mould, receives LIFE's flow
Then LIFE again from DEATH doth grow.
Ah! what a problem here we have:
Come, ponder oer it, you with me;
Our bodies, think, how soon they'll be
The WIND or RAIN or GRASS or SEA.
If this be true, as has been said.
That we still live, how are we dead?
For every pain there is a cure;
For every act, a cause is sure;
And for each question we should find
An answer to alay the mind.
Then what is LIFE? and what is DEATH?
What but the Master Builder's breath;
He breathes, and on the scene we come.
Another breath, and we are done.
And none can solve the mystery,
The riddle of eternity.
But HE Who marks the sparrow's fall,
HE knows it all! He knows it all!
For naught is wasted, naught is lost,
Nothing carelessly is toss'd
Upon God's moving picture screen—
HE stages and directs each scene.
Our lives, though humble they may be,
Like tiny streams that seek the sea,
Move over onward in their course
Until they reach their Divine source

Dear Mr. Dougherty,
in publishing and otherwise assisting with the "Harlemania" program I presented Sunday at the Majestic Theatre was invaluable. I know that the remarkable attendance was in great relief to your efforts and certainly grateful for what you did.
You will be pleased to know that the house was a complete sell-out and that the show netted $3,000 for the Daily Mirror Hospital Fund. In behalf of the Mirror and myself, I thank you very much indeed for your assistance. Sincerely,

Dear Friend Dougherty:
I was very happy to receive your letter of Nov. 26. It is expressing it very mildly to say that thank you so sincerely for your kindness which you did me by presenting me to that very large and enthusiastic audience at the Lafayette Theatre, at the midnight show last Sunday. Was another evidence of your keen personal interest in my welfare.
I shall endeavor to avail myself of the pleasure of attending the meeting of the Jamaica Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and will await further word concerning the matter. With sincere good wishes and best regards, I am, Sincerely yours. (Signed) JAS. S. WATSON. JSW/HS

For myself and in behalf of our committee I desire to express to you a genuine feeling of gratitude for your work in promoting the benefit that was given on Nov. 23, at the Lafayette Theatre, by the Blackbirds Company and others. At the meeting of our Executive Committee, yesterday, there was a very frank discussion of the whole matter of that benefit, the members of the committee were able to free in their expression of appreciation of the services that you rendered in behalf of this committee. Personally I want you to know how much I appreciated the performance itself, and how much I appreciated your spirit toward me

Theatregoers need no introduction to Clarence Robinson, for he will be remembered as the youngster who brought to the Lafayette Theatre some time ago some of the most entertaining of the present day revues. Robinson's shows won for him an enviable name among the younger producers and his friends will be glad to learn that he is ever carrying the torch he opened his grill in the place at one time occupied by the late Baron Wilkins on 134th street, with Chick McKenney in charge and Al Moore, whose dancing specialty is one of the best ever presented by a dancer of color, as "Charge de Afaires."
The ever popular Marjorie Sipp is on hand with her teasing voice and delightful personality, together with Jessie Crawford and the famous "Wash-up" masters. In Robinson's new play with the same theme to retail and thought for the pleasing of audiences which made him popular in the theatre, then success is in his without a doubt.

Green, Lillian Roth and Eugene Pullette as supporting players. The story is a riotous account of an American sailor who is shanghailed into a foreign navy, goes through many situations and finally marries the captain's daughter. Sounds like an Alger story, but it isn't. One must see Jack Oakie to appreciate the comedy possibilities in the film. An Our Gang comedy, a talkartoon, talking novelty and a traveltalk add more enjoyment to this most interesting bill.

Noble Sissle
Returning on Tour
Popular Entertainer and His Band to Start at Rockland Palace
Noble Bissie, who left Broadway at the very peak of his popularity, whose songs in "Shuffle Along" had been one of the featured artists with Levent J. Europe's famous 369th Infantry band during and for some time the world war, is coming back to New York. He's coming back to this country after a triumphant stay in Paris, London and Monte Carlo, and he's jazz organizations of modern times, his internationally famous Les Ambassadeurs Orchestra. His tour at Rockland Palace on Xmas Eve night, and the largest crowd ever to attend that mammoth place is expected to be on hand to pay homage to a man made the grade" on two contests.
Stissle, who has played at the exclusive Ciro's night club in Paris and Monte Carlo, whose tuneful melodies are crowned heads to applaud, and who has supplanted such well-known American orchestras as Paul Whiteman, Gus Arnheim, Varting's Penguin, and others in this class, recently flew from Paris to London on the first lap of his return trip to the United States. At present, he is based in London, while there the Prince of Wales danced all of one night to the strains of his music, so taken was he with the band. From Liverpool, England, on Dec. 16, and will arrive in New York on Dec. 22. Positively no other engagements will precede the affair at Rockland Palace. And personages who have heard Stissle and his Les Ambassadeurs Orchestra play are Aime Glirk, Ambassador Herrick, Lord Norsek, Dolly Sisters, Baron Rothenburg, and including a number of the crowned treasures of Europe.
"I like your band better than any I have ever heard, and when I said it was popular I meant it," says May
Irene Castle McLaughlin: "It reminds me of Jim Europe and 1913. I remember Jascha Reitz, world-famous violinist. Beatrice Lille: "The best in Paris." I is 'jazz-grand.' I think," Tallahas Bankhead.
MILLER AND LYLES SCORING AT THE LAFAYETTE
Larza and appreciative audiences are showing unbounded delight at the rehearsal of her new show on the American stage — Pournay Miller and Aubrey Lyles. After a separation of several months during which Miller wrote comedy situations, she and her partners again and are appearing as the headline attraction at the Lafayette this week with a unique, deluxe production of her own. Miller and Donald Heywood. Miller and Lyles appear in three comedy situations. Irvie Miller deserves much credit for the *Pastures*; the title of the revue, *Country to what many people expected*, it is not an irreverent burlesque on *Green Pastures*, but a cleverly comedic take on the situation, stillting through several of the scenes. The whole cast does splendid work and a background of catchy music is furnished by a chorus of twenty voices and the direction of Donald Heywood. The most prominent member of the supporting cast in Edith Wilson, former star of *The Great Gatsby*, pretends little Margaret Simmons does some very fine work. The years that have passed since she appeared in *Shuffle Along* have added to her fame, and the charm, both as a singer and a dancer.
The cinemas goes through some of the most dancing which Irish Miller has and—that's the covering a lot of territory.
The feature picture being presented is *The Red Painters* is. The Last of the Irish Painters. It depts in breathless scenes the last staple of that famous criminal — taken from a prison cell by the Irish Painters and forced to persecute his most daring and dangerous robbery. The Last of the Long Wolf is the best detective presented to the public this year.
"NOAH'S ARK" AND "BIG
MONEY" AT ROOSEVELT
In keeping with the spirit of the holiday, the Roosevelt Theatre is happy to present next Tuesday and Wednesday, and 24, the colossal motion picture telling the story of Neal's Ark. A parallel is made in this unforgettable drama of the times which preceded it, and 24, the colossal motion picture Dustin Costello, George Quilien and a cast of several thousand players enlist this greatest tragedy that ever the world and the story of widespread poverty. Motion picture publicity men are inclined to indulge in superstitions when describing their pictures. According to supper critics, however, there is one best picture to travegrant praise, for in a season when there have been many crook dramas, it stands out as the most gripping and the best story which has ever been produced. "Big Money," which will be presented at the Roosevelt Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 20, 2011, James Gleason, Eddie Quilien, James Gleason and Margaret Livingstone are the stars.

THE ODEON THEATRE
A thrilling story of love, starring Karyn Peck and Huston Muskett "The Virtuous Sin," which will be shown at the Odeon Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 20, 11 and 22. It has "everything"—the color, the tone, the passion, the love that expressed Russia. It is deeply caught in the mighty romance, where love is a game that Kay Francis and Walter Huston play. Huston plays the role of General Karyn Peck, whom to have been vertically cut from the past that once was imperial Russia. Kay Francis plays the part of the Russian wife who proves this man of iron to be a love-player. Cecell M. De Mille's mighty drama and spectacle, deploring the life and work of Jesus, will be presented at both the Tow Doughnut Odeon on Wednesday, Dec. 23, and 11.

"SARATOGA CLUB"
REVUE AT LAFAYETTE
The cast which will present the "Club Saratoga Revue" at the Lafayette next week includes Bob Williams, Celesse Cole, Tim Moore, Roy Atkinson, Katie Brown, and Michael Trible. Audray Thomas and other well-known musical comedians. The chorus, which has been trained by Bob Williams, is said to be one of the most vibrant night club choruses in the city. Louis Roussell's band will, of course, play the music. This band ranks with the six best in the city and their appearance will be the first in a Harlem theatre. The feature picture at the Lafayette Theatre next week will be "Sinner's Holiday." This was adapted from the novel by Robert B. Scales, a corpulent life of boogieguards and racketeers, of a mother whose love for her daughter causes her to send an innocent man behind prison bars. Grant Carr, the star and is able supported by some of the best-known stage and screen celebrities.

MISS NEEKA SHAW made her first appearance on Broadway this season, and did not fare so badly, as she was singled out to sing one of the popular songs which is now being heard all over the country via the radio, player piano rolls and phonograph records. Her friends believe that she will come into her own if the Leslie show goes to Philadelphia and later leaves, as contemplated, for London.
Florence Mills Ass'n Members Welcome Elks' Exalted Ruler
---
What led the steps of the Hon. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. to the rooms of Florence Mills Theatrical Association last Saturday night we know not, but the fact remains that when the writer elbowed his way in through the interested audience nold under the spell of J. Finley's voice no man with a great of the roped arena could fear himself away until the leader of the Elks had decided that the call of Morphens had to be respected and he seek his couch until some other time. Called hither on duties connected with the order of which he is the Lord of the Woods, Mr. Wilson has been renewing old friendships in this neck of the woods, and he must have heard of that spirit which reigns at the association, and being a man whose every hour is spent in preaching in some way the gospel of Christianity, it would seem that the man among the boys of the stage.
Mr. Wilson is sailing for tropic seas next Tuesday morning, but many of the members impressed upon him that the tropics it will not surpass the warmth that will spring forth next Monday night when the boys and girls of the profession gather to bid him his voyage, to take him to the island of the sea on a tour of inspection of the lodges he created there and where, mayhap, he will create new lodges before returning to the United States. The process proceeded by a program of entertainment by the members, will be in order. The officers of the association not only issued a call to the many members to present but a blanket invitation to them on hand to initiate the new member (yep. Exalted Ruler Wilson proudly carriers a card showing him to be a member in good standing of the association) by that merriment which will be the thoughts of seasickness on the voyage.
A man who has laid out one of the

Those actors are being fed at a reasonable rate and those interested in the welfare of the association are bending every effort to secure further funds like possible this time some time to come. It is said that an attempt will be made to serve a special Christmas dinner free of charge in an atmosphere made entrenching by the ladies of the association. The ladies of the association insel and holly under the able guidance of Miss S. Clair.
J. Homer Tutt has done a masterly job in the decoration of the rooms with pictures of the people in the room, and with the portraits of love which will find the genial brother of S. Tutt Whitney working for a long time to complete the splendid work which he is doing. With the acquaintance of Mr. Schiffman, he does for the comfort of the members of their friends. Recently Mr. Frank Schiffman donated fifteen cots and blankets to be used for those actors without a home because of the stress of unemployment and for whom restrictions are made by the association.

THE MIDDLE EASTERN STATE PARK
MUSIC NEWS
By CORA GARY ILLIDGE.
Speaks on
Negro Folk Lore
James Weldon Johnson, who opened Authors' Week at the Jones A. M. E. Tabernacle in Philadelphia last Tuesday, is said to have predicted in a lecture that "some day in the future American composer will dig down into the subsoil of Negro folk lore and Negro folk music and produce the first genuine and distinctive American musical composition of vitality and strength."
Mr. Johnson said that this music will be neither folk nor racial, but something artistic. His opinion for the reason that America has not had a great national art is because the American has thought he didn't have the proper subsol from which to draw the essence of a great national art. The American has either ashamed of the Negro subsol or he has never given it serious consideration. Negro folk music has helped to motivate human life, and the Negro spiritual doesn't suffer by comparison any folk music of the world, is said to be the expressed opinion of Mr. Johnson.
He pointed out further that a definite awakening of the consciousness of the white Americans to the potentialities of the Negro, as a creative force, is largely the result of the school of the young Negro author produced within the past ten years. Finally, he said: "The Negro has undoubtedly been shaped and made over entirely different from his African ancestors, but it is also true that he has helped to shape and mold America, materially, spiritually and culturally."
To Give Sixth
The music school of the Henry Street Settlement, of which Hedi Kata is director, announces the second of six educational Chamber Music concerts to be held at the Phlyhouse, 438 Grand street. Sunday evening, at 8:15 o'clock. The program, which will consist of Beethoven's Quartet in A Minor, opus 132, and Ravel's Quartet in F Major, will be played by The Gordon String Quartet.
In connection with this settlement school, which is located at 8 Pits street, it may be said that Blanche Mason, dramatic soprano of Minneapolis, Minn., directs the Negro group singing here.
Mrs. Mason came to New York in September on a scholarship from the music division of the National Federation of Settlements, which is connected with the New York School of Social work. She is also in charge of the children's group singing at the Utopia House at 170 West 130th street.
Mrs. Mason has studied singing extensively in the West, and she is continuing here with one of New York's reputable teachers. In Minneapolis she was dinner concert artist over WCCO, said to be the largest radio station in that city.
Her voice, of unusual beauty in tonal qualities, is developed equally as well in the lower as in the upper range, and her singing is artistic.
The Carnation Literary and Social Club presented the Isles Concert Band Sunday afternoon at St. Mark's Hall, 57 West 138th street. The guest artists were Gladysse Weng Carty, violinist, and Prof. Carl Diton, baritone.
Choirs Give Joint Program
At Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday evening a program was rendered by the Madrigal Choir of Bethel, of which Andrew W. Watson is director; the Abyssinian Baptist Church Junior Choir, directed by Prof. Yancy, and the Metropolitan Baptist Choir, of which Mrs. Simmons is the director. Each choir gave an interesting program. An address on "What Music Can Do for the Church" was given by Lolivia Spence. Owen Telefare was organist. John Holmes was master of ceremonies, and Mme.

A dramatic recital was given by Walter Smith and his assistants, Asia Perry, soprano, and Adaine Price, a soprano from the International Club, 2 West Sixty-fourth street, Sunday afternoon. Several nationalities constituted the large audience, and their appreciation was demonstrated by generous applause.
Mr. Smith proved himself a true disciple of his teacher, Richard B. Harrison. His recital seemed to be the result of careful and conscientious preparation. It is obvious that in his art he is a serious pupil and finds satisfaction and pleasure in the study of it.
"Soul of the Violin" by Merrill, the first reading on program, was an excellent rendition. One could not help visualizing the inanimate object of wood personified by a devoted master of the recital. The presentation of this number: No less effective was the reading of "Cremation of Sam McGee" and the Dunbar group, including "Little Brown Baby" and "In De Monlin."
Promise of a splendid singer was seen as Miss Perry gave out musical tones in Lee's "Out of the Dust to You" Mazzon's "See Seran Rose," Burleigh's "By and By" and "I Stood on de Dibber ob Jerdon." This singer should strive, however, for clearer diction.
Miss Price, both in the accompaniments for the vocalist and in three piano solos, seemed not to be at her best. It was probably because of insufficient fidence or the cause of Insufficient grip that caused this soloist's performance to be marred; besides, continual lapses of memory in Liszt's "Liebstraume," the gaps being filled in with extemporaneous music. The Allegro Movement, from Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique, resulted in an absolute transcription.
After the program tea was served.
Mr. Smith, with Lydia E. Mason,
planist, will appear in recital at Carnegie Hall Music Chamber, Sunday afternoon, February 1.

Churches Give
"Heaven Bound"
Fifteen Negro churches of Atlanta, Ga., united in presenting three performances last week of an opera of religion, "Heaven Bound," the proceeds of which are given to the Christmas charitable enterprises of the churches.
The play is described as a modern "Filgrim's Progress," and it was written, produced and directed entirely by Negro talent, "Heaven Bound" is said to portray the struggles of poor, sinful mortals striving to enter the Golden Gate of the Promised Land.
Those to appear on the Christmas musicale at the Abyssinian Lyceum Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock are Mary E. Harris, Jennie Jackson, Edward Henton, Charles H. Lewis, Nellie Taylor, Eddie Lee Jones, Effie Bushell and Dayse Harding. An address will be given by A. Clayton Powell, Jr. J. D. Howze will be master of ceremonies.
Paul Robeson, bartone, is scheduled for a recital Saturday evening, January 10, at 8:30 o'clock at Carnegie Hall.
The St. Mark's M. E. Church Choir will sing special Christmas music on Sunday. The soloists are to be Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Miss Ruby Green, contralto; Pennan Loving-coen, tenor, and H. L. Burrell, bartone. The Rev. J. W. Robinson is pastor of the church.
Mrs. Murray Sings At Bennett College
GREENSBORO, N. C., Dec. 15.—Appearing at Bennett College for Women Friday night before a large audience of music lovers, Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezzo-soprano of New York City, ably captivated the listeners with her beautiful style of bel canto singing. The artist exhibited excellent control and unusual range.
Opening with "Il Mio Bel Foco" by Marcello, the artist rendered an exquisite classic group, ending with "Mon Cœur Souvre a Ta Voix" by Saint Saens. The artist was well-loved in response to the demands of the opera for encores. Habana, from the opera "Carmen" by Blitzer, was rendered twice by the artist. This was done in response to the request of the music lovers.
Miss Olive Jeter, pianist and accompanist, also of New York, showed great skill in rendering the Chopin numbers. She demonstrated equally as much dexterity in the Adagio from Sonata in D Minor by Beethoven, and Etude de Concert by Sternberg. A group of spirituals ended the program, most of which were arrangements by Harry T. Burleigh.

O.A.N.P.
Next!—The White Woman Has the Floor
(For the Associated Negro Press.)
AN "ANONYMOUS" colored woman, in the December Crisis tells of the "interracial activities" of some white man, trying to make time and date for intimate relations with the "colored ladies of the committee." The experiences which she relates are not so startling to anybody who is in the "know," and are very few for a woman who as she self-conferring good-looking and who at the same time (as we can read between the lines), is rather congenial and included to be agreeable to people, and who perhaps has a special liking for "interracial activities" of the conventional sort.
By the implications of her own article we can infer that this colored woman is rather more confidential with the general public than she has been to her own husband, although she tells us very little of what her subject leads us to expect. And yet, she tells us a good deal more in between the lines than she perhaps meant to tell us. This understanding of the matter could hardly escape the acumen of any "old bird" who glad she is "anonymous" for that keeps the situation for us impersonal. And I want to tell her that any of the facts which she describes would have been handled easily by many colored women whom I know, or by many white women.
Some of them would have stopped any of those fellows before they got half-way from "taw." Perhaps our anonymous friend was so naive in her own conduct that she felt a guilty responsibility when the "attack" came. At any rate, she seems to have been unequal by the occasion" in a single one of the instances which she cites.
But we started out to say that the white women and others could tell equally interesting stories about the black male of the genus homo. They might tell of some of his "interracial activities" in which he "acted with equal perseverance, with equal intelligence, with white males of the species who are catalogued by this anonymous writer.
Of course, the average experienced colored man is less subject to the bewitchedery of mere "opposite color" than is the average white man, because the Negro has every human color in the world in what is called his "race". But the white man has been somewhat fenced in because he is not white and is, therefore, left to imagine all sorts of things beneath a dark skin which he has not found under white skins.
But most Negroes of any experience in the U. S. A. have found out long ago that "it ain't so"; but that all the varieties of skin-color harbor the same thing; that men and women, in the essence, are colorless. All of them are the same color in the dark, anyway. At any rate, the white is leasing it and the builders "himself" and around "his own kinds," he always fences out a darned sight more than he fences in. The whites have been the builders of these fences; and it is amusing to observe how many are beginning very regularly and very skillfully to "jump the fence." Finally, there is nothing new or otherwise noteworthy in our being informed by this anonymous writer that preachers and lawyers can be plain humans, or even sub-humans. At almost devastating, if we are to judge from her manner of telling it, most of the achieving women of the world are ignoring and thrusting out of their path with admirable courage and highmindedness.
LIBERIANS ERRED IN
RUBBER LAND LEASES
The Excelsior Literary Club's affirmative arguments on the proposition, "Resolved, That Liberia blundered by leasing her rubber lands," were convincing enough to defeat the Acme Associates of Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon at the Excelsior Hall, 440 Lenox avenue.
Van Franklin, Miss Ilea Harrison and Alberto Senior attacked the Firestorm plantation grant made by former President J. King of Liberia. The negative team congratulated Elise Challenger, Reginald Sealy and Courtney Wiltshire. They argued that Liberia has reaped economic advantages from the concessions.
To Meet
A Parent-Teacher meeting will be held Friday night at Public School No. 89. Lenox avenue at 135th street. A Christmas play by children of the school and performances by radio artists of note comprise the program, as announced by Miss Josephine Wooten, who is in charge.

Notes
Christmas activities in the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. started as early as last Tuesday night, when the members of the Handicraft Club gave a supper. Almost every afternoon the members of the Girl Reserve Department are having parties. The Athletic Club will go to a theatre, while the Swimming Club has planned a party.
Christmas services at the branch will be celebrated Sunday afternoon. The Girl Reserves will give a pageant as a part of the program, which begins at 4 o'clock.
The Christmas party of the entire branch will take place tomorrow night. Instead of the usual exchange of gifts, the members will bring food and clothing to be distributed among the unemployed and needy.
Miss Alice Dedmond of the Benux-Arts Club represented the Industrial Department of the branch at an all-day meeting of the program committee of the Mid-winter Industrial conference. 600 Lexington avenue, on Sunday. There were sessions in the morning and the afternoon and the girls had dinner together at a neighborhood restaurant. Miss Iva Culpeper and Mrs. Ivy Beckles brought a delightful breath of summer into the club with their reports Thursday night on the conference for industrial girls at Summit Lake Camp in June.
Calling the service man at frequent intervals is far from an inexpensive pastime, but calling the service man unnecessarily is aggrivating, as well as expensive. Yet many set owners demand the presence of a service man occasionally for work or fault. A surprising percentage of service calls, according to engineers of a well-known company, in a treatise discussing the result of a survey of the service problem, are unnecessary.
Many service calls, the tabulation of which really instruction calls, the principal difficulty being that the owner is not quite familiar with the operation of the receiver. There are cases on record where a person having just purchased a new receiver conducts service man upon calling found that the owner was entirely unfamiliar with the operation of the set and had neglected to turn the 'on and off' switch, being under the impression that in some remarkable way the receiver was incapable as assisted the tuning dial.
Housemails are often the cause of unnecessary service calls, since it is quite usual for them to disconnect the power line, clean the clothing and almost as common for them to forget to replace it. In the evening the owner appaes the switch and, of course, the set fails to operate. Naturally, he does not think of the service man. He commands him in a call for the service man. During the periods when an SOS has been received and all stations cease broadcasting the service man's telephone is taxed to the cost of the call. The service man cannot get any stations," is the common complaint on these occasions.
If you would save money by eliminating unnecessary service calls, the report concludes, check the following items before calling the service man:
1. Be sure the "on and off" switch is in the "on" position.
2. Determine if the station selector is correctly set.
3. See if the power supply plugs are in receptacles.
4. Check setting of volume control.
5. Be sure antenna wiring and the connection to receiver are secure.
While these precautions sound exceedingly many trips have been made by the service man only to find similar conditions.
Buying a Radio
Last week we gave the essential points to notice in buying a radio from the standpoint of the service man. The following are the determining points to be given by the president in choosing a set, as given by the largest radio manufacturing firms:
1. Tone. It should be gloriously true — not merely pleasant. You should be able to distinguish between instruments of similar tone quality and hear vocal instruments of different tone quality distortion over the entire tonal range.
For example, do the kettledrums have a distinct pitch, or do they just sound like thuds? Can you distinguish the different pitches of two kettledrums? Has the set a booming sound? Does a set have a low head being in a barrel? Can you distinguish the letter "a" in speech? In an

The Lend-a-Hand Circle sponsored a bridge and whilst tournament for the benefit of the Christmas basket fund of the Clio Welfare and Community Center. 278 West 127th street, on Saturday. Dancing followed.
Mrs. Lyda Boys was chairman of the committee. This club, beginning today, will meet every Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, instead of in the evenings.
Mr. and Mrs. Marion A. McNichols recently donated a radio to the center.
Through Dr. Adena G. E. Minott, plans are being made for the distribution of at least twenty-five baskets of food to the poor on Christmas eve.
This center is often mixed to distribute supplies of bread, rolls, buns cakes and plies from Davidson's Vienna Bakery, 2342 Eighth avenue, to many of Harlem's unemployed and needy persons. Bundles of warm clothing, in addition to gifts of shoes caps, pants and overcoats to children of the neighborhood have been given to many families.

Tuberculosis and Colds Fought During Campaign
A special campaign against colds and tuberculosis is being waged this month by the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee and the Harlem Health Center, both of 108 West 136th street. The object of the campaign is to prevent the spread of colds and of the "white plague," which annually claims so many victims. The message of both health organizations is told on the 500 posters and 10,000 leaflets which have been distributed throughout Harlem. Educational talks and motion pictures prevent the prevention and care of tubercular patients, as well as the treatment for colds, will be presented at the following public schools: 139, 105, 119, 89 and 5. Leading social agencies and churches of Harlem are also co-operating to make the campaign a success.

Care of the FEET
By HORACE D. WORBELL
Chiropodist
Ringworm of the Feet
IT is safe to say that at least 40 per cent of the adult population of this country is infected with ringworm of the feet, and the percentage is growing annually. This may be due to the nationwide health campaigns which are responsible for the great number of people getting out of doors for exercise. These persons play golf, visit showrooms and swimming pools contained with club shoes and to beaches where the sand has ringworms in it.
To understand the cause of this epidemic, you must go back to the days of the late war. The soldiers had to wear their clothes and shoes day in and day out without being able to change them. They did not take the number of baths that are necessary to rid their bodies of excretions of sweat. Then, too, the mud of the trenches was ideal for microorganisms to thrive in and on. Thus, the development from an insignificant little body into one that has become a great source of worry to the medical practitioner.
The reason for the prevalence of ringworm in the feet, rather than in any other part of the body, was no doubt due to the fact that the feet get the least ventilation. Being dark, damp and dirty, they are ideal for the development of any disease germ.
The ringworm would work its way into the skin of the toe web under the arc of the foot. The lowered resistance of the ringworm gave the ringworm and other disease germs a good opportunity to take advantage of their hosts.

The onset of an attack is usually associated with vertigo, disturbance of vision, nausea, numbness in the hands and feet and nervous twitchings over the body. The patient, soon after this, falls out with a groan or piercing shriek, foaming at the mouth, in convulsive fits, and then quiets down sometimes for a short sleep.
There is a much milder type in which these nervous changes would be hardly observed by a casual observer. These attacks vary in frequency and may leave the patient perfectly well in between seizures. Some cases have been known to recover completely. There is up to date no known cure for epilepsy.
During an attack something should be forced in the mouth to prevent the tongue from being bitten; all tight fitting clothing, especially around the chest and neck, should be loosened Unless medical aid is right on the spot to give relief by injection or inhalation, the patient usually recovers before such help arrives. If you cannot render some help in a case of this sort, don't crowd around and add to the excitement. As a rule, these patients are very sensitive on recovering themselves, and are greatly embarrassed by too persistent offers of help and expressions of sympathy. A safe precaution is to use a hard bed and pillow, since the tendency of a person so stricken is to turn on his face with possible asphyxiation. The convulsions of kidney disease and the nervous manifestations of hysteria must be looked out for in these cases.

Efficiency
A SHORT time ago an epoch-making experiment was tried out in the Marion School in Cleveland, Ohio. The oral hygiene committee of the National Dental Association had contended that thousands of children were thrown yearly upon the scrap heap of deficiency. mediocrity or crime because of a decrease in mental and physical efficiency due to carous teeth.
Permission was given by the Cleveland Board of Education for this committee to make an exhaustive experiment to determine once and for all whether there was any appreciable connection between teeth, brains, and morals.
The Marion School was selected for the reason that it seemed to offer least favorable conditions for any increase of efficiency. It is in a congested section of the city, packed with all grades of poverty, from the picturesque to the stolid and sordid. Every note in the gamut of misery and crime sounded within the hearing of this schoolhouse bell.
A general dental inspection of the entire school was made by ten dentists and their assistants, under the direction of the chairmen. Only three out of 846 were found to have perfect teeth.
(To be continued).
Now that Christmas is only a few days away, every one is filled with the holiday spirit and we're hoping that each scout will try to add joy to someone's Christmas. Many troops are actively engaged in preparing clothes, food and toys for the neediest families of Harlem.
The Girl Scouts' Christmas party will take place on Friday, December 26 at St. Mark's Community House. 135th street and Edgecombe avenue. All scouts are invited. There will be a special feature, so be sure to come at 4 p. m.
Troop 193 at St. John's A. M. E. Church is preparing a Christmas play. The girls have also made charming gifts. Mrs. G. M. Beine is captain.
Troop 151 at Salem is doing some interesting work in handcraft. The money for the materials was earned when the troop presented a play.
Troop 144 at P. S. 90 has registered 30 additional scouts, making their total registration 52. They entertained at the assembly yesterday morning. Misses E. Miller and Dorothy Spriggins are in charge.
Troop 99 at St. Jude's is preparing for a Minstrel show. Mrs. Iris Riley is in charge.
We hope your troop report is ready for the Year Book.

With every seat in the huge edifice taken, throngs of mourners crowded St. Mark's M. E.

Extolling the virtues of Mr. Hill, whom he had known intimately for a long time, Dr. Robinson was also lavish in his praise of "The Green Pastures' and its author, Marc Connelly, white, who attended the rites with his entire official staff." "The Green Pastures," said Dr. Robinson, "has called the nation back to its God and to a newer appreciation of the finer things of life." Mr. Hill's vivid portrayal of the role of Gabriel,

Cemetery's Statue Of Gabriel Stolen
A bronze status of the Angel Gabriel was stolen last week from the Greenfield Cemetery at Hempstead, L. I. Police of Nassau County have been asked to look for the bronze.
The figure, which adorned the main gate of the cemetery, was five feet high. The gate was torn down early in the week to make way for a new one. On Saturday night when workmen went to look for the angel it had vanished.
he said, was largely responsible for the success of the play.
"Release from the body," the minister declared, "he is now playing for the interest of God. In a world more real than that of the stage he is again saying, 'Gangway! Gangway! Make way for the Lord God Jehovah.'"
Further remarks were made by the Rev. A. O. Garner, pastor of the Grace Congregational Church, who eulogized Mr. Hill as a "God-involuted man" who was chosen to play the part of an angel. Dr. Garner urged a closer relationship between the church and the theatre.
The Lord Praises Hill
Richard B. Harrison, who plays the Lord in the Connelly play, spoke briefly of his association with Mr. Hill. The two, he said, shared the same dressing room in the Mansfield Theatre. The obituary of the deceased was read by Daniel L. Haynes, star of "Hallelujah," who is the Adam of "The Green Pastures." The Hall: Johnson Choir of the same production sang "The City Called Heaven." Mr. Hill was a member of the Masons and both Hiram Lodge No. 4, Prince Hall, and the King David Consistory No. 3 performed their respective burial rituals about the flower-banked casket of the actor. A huge candelabra lighted with black candles on either side of the bier lent a note of dignity to the solemnity of the ritual.
Cast Views Remain.
Following this ceremony, the remains were viewed by the assemblage the children and adult members of the cast of "The Green Pastures", the Florence Mills Memorial Association and Mr. Connelly and his staff leading the procession. The entire services lasted from 1 until 4 p.m. Honorary palebearers were Jesse Shipp, Charles A. Moore, Richard B. Harrison, Charles Winterwood, Tallon Zenderson, Salem Tutt Whitney, Daniel L.

YOUNG MR. EMMETT WILLIAMS beamed a pardonable smile on his 18-year-old spouse when she showed him two of the three boys she gave birth to recently. One of the babies was increasing his weight in a hospital incubator when Campbell's photographer called, and failed to have his picture taken.
Minister Demands Church Aid Needy
(Continued from Page Two.)
to the 35,000 unemployed men and women of the race in the city. This bureau is under the direction of the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop, assistant rector of the St. Philip's P. E. Church, The Rev. Mr. Bishop is working night and day to find jobs for the jobless and to give relief to the suffering thousands.
"Three weeks ago the Abyssinian Baptist Church opened a relief bureau under the direction of A. Clayton Powell, Jr. The appeal was made to the church and community for clothes. Bundles came in so rapidly that it now requires four persons, working eight hours a day, to receive and distribute them to the needy. At the end of three weeks 4,500 pieces of clothing had been given away.
"In response to the solicitation of this bureau many members of our church have opened their homes to the homeless.
"Through the generosity of the Seward Prosser Committee, this bureau has been able to place on an average of 100 half-time workers each week. Others are sent to clean houses, wash windows and do other work for our members who are in good circumstances, and these members pay 50 cents an hour for the service rendered.
"At a Sunday morning service two weeks ago the pastor pledged $1,000 of his salary to open a free food kitchen. Within a few minutes, without any urging, church members and church organizations raised in additional pledges and cash $1,500. The relief bureau now has $2,500 in hand or in sight and will open the kitchen Dec. 26, and will keep it open for the next three months, or as long as the need exists.
Refuses "Handshakes."
"This pastor told his members not to give him any 'handshake' money, collections or donations during the holidays, but to make all their gifts instead to the poor.
"He has been driving a 1926 car, and his officers wanted to give him a new one, but this he absolutely refused to accept. What sort of a representative of the lowly Jesus is a big, fat, well-dressed preacher in a new car, riding up and down streets which are lined with honesties, peniless and foodless men, women and children?
Could Feed Everybody.
"If every Negro preacher in this country would refuse to accept donations from his church during the holidays not a single person of the race would go hungry the week we are celebrating the birth of the Man Who became poor for our sakes, that we, through His poverty, might be made rich.
"There are 10,000 Negro preachers who ought to give their salaries during the months of January, February and March to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. Another 10,000 ought to give during those months half of their salaries, and another 10,000 should give one-fourth of their
salaries for the same purpose. This would give these preachers an undreamed of power and influence in their localities.
Hits at Hypocrites
"It would also open the hearts and pocketbooks of their members, and lastly, would give us a revival of religion among Negroes for which we have been offering hypocritical prayers for the last twenty-five years.
"If we fail to do this we should never again preach or read from the twenty-fifth chapter of St. Matthew: I was hungry and yed me; I was naked and yed cloaked Me."
"The churches and lodges have gotten a large part of the colored people's money during the last sixty years, and for the sake of the God Whose name our acts have often blasphemed, and for the sake of our starving brothers and sisters, whom we have often robbed under the guise of religion, friendship, love, truth and charity, let us restore unto them this winter at least enough of that money to keep them from starving and freezing.
"This is the only practical way to meet Nannie H. Burrough's challenge

Foster was born in Calvert, Texas September 27, 1879, where he was one of the sandlot stars among the youths of his race. Calvert, however, was too small for "Rube" and he moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where, as a pitcher on the Yellow Jackets, he attracted much attention.
After a short sojourn, Fort Worth and the large State of Texas proved, like the town of his nativity, too small and "Rube" moved to Chicago, joining the Leland Giants.
In 1909 "Rube" startled the baseball world by challenging the Chicago Cubs, then managed by the peerless leader, Frank Chance. Oldtimers yet talk of that hectic threegame series, and especially the last game, when the "Rube," recuperating from a broken leg, tied up with Miner Brown in a pitching duel, finally dropping the decision 8-5.
The next year the American Glants came into being with "Rube" at the helm.

WHAT an inspiring sight! What man or woman with red blood coursing through his or her veins could not feel a thrill at the picture being unfuried for the edification of about seventy thousand people present on what to them was a grand and glorious occasion. Listen to the cheers as they float up on the chill and snappy air, for here come the cadets from West Point, their band sending forth martial airs, the mule being reluctantly guided by two gaily bedecked young future officers of the United States Army.
And if you think that you have heard everything in behalf of the cadets you are mistaken, for here come the middies from Annapolis, the Navy goat, symbol, if you must, of Navy football, also being led by two future officers of the United States Navy. The acclaim to our cars seems louder; but always on such occasions we look beneath the surface and such funny thoughts race through our mind.
Who would not share the pride of those mothers, fathers, sweet-hearts, friends and their own people as these clean-cut, well set-up, representative young men of both branches of the service take the field on parade? It is a time when for the nonce all prejudice, hate or antagonism which from time to time must surge through the breast of the average colored brother lays dormant and all we see is the colorful picture and one must admit despite everything else that America is indeed a great country.
Today in every nook and corner within a hundred of miles of the confines of what is Greater New York more than a thousand youngsters are looking forward to that time when they can make a try for entrance at one of the two schools. Inspiring, indeed, and every cent spent in putting over the Army-Navy football game last Saturday afternoon in behalf of charity was well spent.
No snopers took up the time of the creative minds that made that game and the attendant spectacle the great success it turned out to be, trying to find out if the trained attendants of the field got paid, nor how much the press relations council received for putting over the entire affair. They were paid, yes, but the man, descendants of that man, had placed his hand for holding forests and mail which made it possible for us to share in the glory of the day. No place for despots to take advantage of ill paid employees and then pose before the world as benefactors. Some whites can come among us and do that, but among their own their places are so insignificant they would not have a Chinaman's chance. Forgive the dumbness of those of us who think through such minds. Honi Solt qui mal y pense! Inspiration Even for Us if We Want It
IT was pictures like the above being unfurled before the gaze of the newcomer in the world of sport some years ago that made him sit down and do some thinking. "Why," he asked himself, "can we not, even if it be on a smaller scale, enjoy such an inspiring sight as those presented when Yale meets Harvard, West Point vs. Annapolis, Cornell vs. Princeton, etc.? I'll do it. I'll do it!" that was his exclamation as he hopped out of bed at three clock that morning to pace up and down his restricted bedroom. Of course, it took a little money to do it, but he entertained little doubt that he would be able to raise it. Childish innocence. He went out banking on that elusive they call race pride, but every man he knew possessed the few hundred necessary turnips. He went to the third avenue elevated train and getting off at Park Row went into the New York World building to the office of a white sport promoter and laid out his plans. The white man saw it immediately. No thought of gaining any monetary reward had even entered the youngster's mind. All he wanted was to hear the shout of thousands of owls on the lawn. He was about to dash out of the door the white man laughingly shouted: "I'll give you a quarter out of every dollar profit that I make." Hasty negotiations, a trip to Washington and a few weeks after Eddie Waldron stood at the portals of the then popular Manhattan Casino and saw the largest crowd of basketball environs that ever taxed his casino to capacity wend its way into the place.
The young man who had the dream was in his element. When Oliver (Dr. Hudson himself, now a successful practicing physician right here in Harlem) Sykes, Nixon, Gray, Glmore and the rest of that championship aggregation took the court the ratters of the old Manhattan Casino embled the cheetah of the populace. The young man of the young man but the care; he was happy. It was a great night and at its conclusion the white man sent the youngster in whose brain had been fostered the thought a check for a hundred dollars. Quite a sum in those days.
Enter envy, malice, jealousy, hypocrisy and all the things we associate with the devil himself. Prodmen of black hue went to the white man and showed him wherein he did not have to stick with the youngster. See," said a particular friend (?), wear uniform and invite children to play with him. I will work for you for almost nothing. Just let me share in the glory and I will be satisfied." Not to be outdone, an editor who had gone through one of America's foremost (I wonder did he really go through that?) institutions of learning got in touch with the white man, who, incidentally, must have been a direct descendant of forebears who had gone into Africa at an earlier day. Bibble hanged and a bottle of rum in the other and soon they had eased the enthusiastic and ambitious young man out of the picture.
Boon, also, let it be told, there were no more games. They succeeded in killing everything, but the young man, like the fairy prince in the story, went on his merry way, enjoying beautiful haired eyes, and the young man, like the haired, black eyed senoritas, tripping the light fantastic to the strains from Miranda's music with its touch of sunny Spain and gay Andalusia, while the editor and his disciples were having a devil of a time trying to make ends meet. And well they had to, for the editor, to be a good judge of the party listening to you mention the name of one of them the party listening in will exclaim: "I say, what became of those fellows? Oh, well, if well only let envy and malice alone they will punish themselves, but in the meantime why should we not take everything that's good from the enemy? And we should not take things away from our games staged in this city and thou the crowd be smaller we'll have for our own selves a replica of what took place when Army and Navy met here last Saturday afternoon. And mark ye, merrie gentlemen, there's a feud existing between Army and Navy in athletics, but note how they can be common good. On snakes and parasites, syphonants and just plain hypocrites, when in God's name are you going to see the light?

WELL, what more can we add to what has already been said by sporting writers of the opposite race trying damnably hard to be fair to the little stranger within our gates? Every man, woman and child interested in the outcome of that battle was Chocolate and Battalino Battalino last Friday night at Madison Square Garden received the returns already, hence it is only for those friends who perhaps expect it will we say a few words.
The cartoon drawn by the efficient Harley Perkins tells better than anything we can say the story of that battle, and it is only then that we can see the extent of things sportive could be bred such an appropriate remark, for when young Perkins suggested that for the first time in his career Christopher Battalino went to a black Santa Claus to get his Christmas present.
That's just what that decision was down at Madison Square Garden Friday for the old Madison Square Garden. When the white folks looked around for a new sundown Harlem to say a few words over one of the leading radio stations in this city, they made the mistake of picking the sporting editor of The Amsterdam News, and that worthy emphatically re-

If he is heartbroken, why not? Ah, my fellows, you cannot know of that burning pride which would have been his son, the land of Gomez, Macao and those other Cuban patrons the first time he was fired with a pride that can only come to a people whose force is voluntarily fought and gave of their blood, their treasure and their fortune, will fully enjoy that freedom which came after a generation of fighting men. A Cuban man is a champion and no empathy drained across his shoulders, to the glory of his achievement in winning so conclusively, that those who robbed him of it are cursed with the thoughts of the damned.

Colored Lads Uncovered Air-Tight Game Against Eastern District
Saturday night the Carlton Senior
Boys quintet staged one of the most
dramatic battles of the season. After
trailing the formidable Eastern Disti-
tion, the boys came back to win
first half, they came back to win
through two hectic overtime periods.
With eight seconds to play in the
second half, the Bricktop, Smith brought
the score at 31-31. The boys played
faultless ball during the first overtime
period and neither team was
hit. The boys played a half of the second overtime period
Kleuser, Eastern District forward,
dropped a beauty from the center.
A minute later Jackson came back
and followed up with a tied
the score again. With 50 seconds
to play Donald Taylor brought
a hook shot from a wild melee right
under the basket and the game was
One of the greatest thrills of the game was the excellent shooting of Mac Hawkins who, although held in the first half, was beaten in the rest of the game to score six field goals for a total of twelve points. The airtight defense of the Carlton team functioned perfectly during the game, and the Eastern District were high scorers for the home team, each scoring eight points.

This might be a period of depression, but many turned out last Friday and Dec. 12 to see the St. G. Arrows team, the previous defeat by the Red Wings. In a game that was packed with three Arrows came out on top by the Red Wings, a long time since basketball fans have enjoyed such a finely played game, brings back memories of the old St. G. Arrows, Van Romandt, of the Arrows, and Walcott, of the Red Wings, were high scorers with 10 points each.

VISITATIONS WON OVER FAST RENAISSANCE AT THE GARDEN
Braving the bitter cold of the year's coldest day, some fifty colored boys and girls traveled out to Coney Island on Thanksgiving. Day to see the All-Southern Collegiate defeat the Harways, former holders of the state championship. This was the first time in the history of the team, when Harways had any group of their own people that followed them anywhere. But it was highly encouraging to the boys who have battled some of the team's challenges in those four years to win the respect of everyone they have played. Under the most discouraging conditions the team played its first game in the league, jumping up and down limelight immediately. Composed of former members of the Adelphia Social Club of Richmond, Va., with a few college players added, this first group led the team that opening game were Charles Ammons, coach and quarterback: Walker Brackett, as sweet a guard as ever downed a football uniform: Malcom Harris, center guard, and his brother, Jaulek tackle.
To this group Ted Bolden, flashy halfback from New York University; George Gilmer of Amherst; Alton Jackson of University Covenant of Linein; Arthur Brinson of Georgia; George Lucas of Moorehouse, and Charles King of Tuskegee
VISITATIONS W
RENAISSANCE
The Brooklyn Visitation continued their winning ways at Madison Square Garden last Wednesday night when they defeated the Renaissance Club, colored world champions, by the score of 37-31. The receipts of the game were given to charity. The closeness of the score does not indicate in the least the superiority that the Triangles showed over the Harlem outfit. The colored team was unable to cope with the attack, and after the first few minutes of play the winners completely outplayed their opponents. The offensive the Triangles showed as offensive, impregnable defense, the Rens scoring on "freak" and long heaves. The Rens were unable to gain baskets on the outfit, was most adept.
Saich, playing left guard for the Harlem team, was their big gun throughout the entire contest and especially play when he accounted for five field baskets, all on long heaves. Willie Scrill, left guard for the winners, rimmed the ball for fifteen points, six basket; and three shots from the free throw. Saich scored fourteen markers. The Rens gained a slight lead at
Stags Score Sixth Victory
Continuing in their stride, the Stags defeated the Junior Washington at the P. S. 179 gym on Wednesday by a score of 39-24. The scoring was as follows:

were added. Other members of the squad included Wayton Tuppance, end, and George Fuller, fullback. These latter belonged to the A. S. C. team. Any college coach would have given his right arm for that line from tackle to tackle. Brackett at guard was an ideal player to place beside him. He was made, Harris at center, with Marcellus Giles and Julian Giles on the other side of the line, completed the formation and alternated in the backfield with Ammons and Bolden and Giller were streaks on end runs and off tackle slants, with 135-pound George Fuller a veritable battering ram. They called this little fellow "Trom America." Stamford, with six All-America men on the line, was played and held to a scoreless lt. Orange, later a member of the National League, was met next, and defeated the Collegiate team. Connecticut, all felt the sting of defeat, from the colored lads.
Opening the second year, the team dropped a 6-game to Zev Graham's team through the year with a great record. The third year saw another seven or eight games played and the fourth year brought an even better record. The team won the Hamburg of New York University; Duke Artist of, Georgia State; San
the start when Salich heaved in five baskets, but these came at intervals in between a two-pointer by Brennan, a foul shot by Kellott, a double-decker by Reilly and two baskets by Wille Scrill. After this brief scoring spell by the Ren guard, the latter outfitted not score for quite some time, accounting for only three more points during the remainder of the first half. The time whistle found the score at 20-13. At the start of the second period, the team gave away from their colored opponents and were able to coast along at ease during the closing minutes. Although the Rens pulled up to within 7 points, the Vistation aggregation worked easily and was able to catch it with the last three minutes in which they chose to stall.
In the preliminary game the Ninety-second Street Street Y. M. C. A. coached by Nat Holman who, intently started the first ball on by throwing up the ball, easily defeated the Jewish Community House of Bensonhurst by a score of 34-23. In the opening contest, the unofficially aggregation represented Franklin K. Lane High School of Brooklyn defeated the Textile High School quintet of Manhattan by the score of 23-14.

It is hope that the team will have its own home ground next season when the team is upgraded to college men of the South have been sought to strengthen the team and are to be brought to New York for actual playing. One of the team is under way and it may be that the colored will be members of a league which is being considered by several other teams. What the Lincoln Giants are to play the baseball the All-Southern Collegates are to football.
The New York Giants at one time considered playing the team a preseason game, but failed to continue negotiations. The Staten Island Giants, a playoff team, although other teams had met and been glad to meet the colored players.
In the words of an ardent football writer for the Mamaroneck paper after the game there, "the colored team after it get together was capable of winning together. They lived up to all the nice things said about them."
The West End News of Brooklyn, after the Harw game, said, "after the kickoff, the colored bouts brought the Harw fans together as they pleased. It was just a question of what the final score would be. After the first touchdown the Harwers were just eleven tame football players.
Each four years no fights, unpleasantness or serious trouble has marred the record of the team. Wherever they have played they are always welcome to return. This is remarkable because of the large number of Southern white players on this section and play on local teams.
Back in Mamaroneck the gentleman playing end on that outfit was first string quarterback at William Manor, Orange. N. The majority of the team came from the South, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and South Carolina having full representation. Other players from Dixie have been met, but the result has always been good. The All-South Collegates have from time to time received letters from other colored teams asking for games. At no time has the team refused to play when the other team can furnish the home ground and the other team can be outfitted that the outfitting of the twenty players carried on the roster costs over a thousand dollars, and they have to be transported to the scene of the game, frequently the demands of the game are too high to be met by the smaller teams. This been the only drawback in their meeting colored teams.
For the coming year the sport fans of New York with a yen for football have a new challenge. Follow the All-Southern Collegiate, the scaffers who belittled the early efforts of the organizers, the team has progressed and is going on to fame and better things. And those collegiate who think they can play football can rest assured that they will learn more about the game in five minutes of play with a team like the Collegiate than they did in their whole period of college play. The college are right—there is a vast difference between the college game and the professional game, and if you want to see this difference, wait until you have an opportunity of seeing the game. The Collegiate buck a strong white team—then you'll see the wool fly.

All Champions Invited to Year's First Track Meet
HARVEY MADE FINE SHOWING
In keeping with the high standards of its games the past four years, the team will endeavor to bring together at its annual meet at the 10th Infantry Armory, Brooklyn, on Saturday evening, outstanding track stars of the East.
Decisively Defeated Al Burton at Broadway Arena at Harriers' Show
To that end, invitations to compete in the opening meet of the 1993 season and Brooklyn's biggest international known stars as Pete Bowen, Pittburgh national collegiate quarter-mile champion; Leo Lermond, Boston, former national mile champion; Eddie Tolan, national 100-yard champion; Joe Locke, national 600-yard champion; two-mile champion; Ray Conger, Chicago, former national 1,000-yard champion; John Lewis, Detroit, national 300-yard champion; George Bullwinkle, national 600-yard champion; Eddie Lester, intercollegiate quarter-mile champion; George Chapman, Bates, intercollegiate half-mile champion; George Bullwinkle, intercollegiate mile champion; J. O'Connor, Columbia, intercollegiate high jump champion; George Spitz, Flushing, national junior high jump champion, and a host of other prominent present or former athletes, have been invited to compete in the eight special races on the program.
A young colored lad with the poise and assurance of a Chocolate, stepped into the ring at the Broadway of the special bouts of the Brooklyn Harriers' show, and after a round and one-half of good blocking and timely punching, mattened his opponent for Sedgwick Harvey, New York County amateur bantamweight champion, was the victorious colored boy, and on the way to the finish line him. Harvey went about his job slowly and deliberately, wearing Burton down with hard body blows on the arms of shoulderless contender Burton landed the first punch of the affair, a light left jab to the jaw, but Harvey went right to work, and at the end of the round Burton loaded pretty weary.
At the start of the second, Harvey switched his attack from the body to the head, landing a straight right to the face repeatedly and snapping over a left hook that kept Burton on his back. He dropped Burton for a count of nine, he arrose, only to be met by another slashing onslaught of rights and lefts. Again he left hook to the head, knocked him on his back and ended the bout.
The Salem Crescent basketeers defeated the New York Zieglieg field men on Monday, Dec. 8, at P. S. 139, Manhattan, by the court of 34 to 20 but lost to the Pioneers of Brent County, who followed Friday as day at home home store. The score two extra five-minute periods. The final score was 24 to 23.
Tony Scarpati of the Trinity Club chalked up another kavo victory, spilling two minutes of the second round of 8 special 128-pound bout.

Kolo's Conqueror Going Against Miki Gelb on Thursday Night
Other pugilistic weight divisions may languish and die for lack of interest, but the featherweight brigade on forever. Ever since George Dixon won the championship, we have had high-class performers among the 126-pounders, right down to the present day.
Small wonder, then, that Promoter Jess McMahon has found it profitable to feature featherweight at his Olympia when he gets the chance. Jimmy Slavin, West Side Irishman, and Miki Gelb, featherweight champion of Hungary, meet in the feature tenure bout at the Olympia Thursday night and already the advance sale has surpassed expectations.
Gelb defeated Pete De Grasse his last time out, when he was drawn with Joe Senfaro. Slavin will draw with a slight favorite, but considerable wime money will be riding on the highly touted Hungarian.
In the semi-final ten-round bout Milton Hutner, former amateur star who is studying law against him, University, law again. Marty Wolff, former hatting Bronx middleweight, Hutner has beaten Althe Wolff, former intercollegiate middleweight champion from Penn State, and is considered one of the best boxers ever developed in the college ranks. Quartet of four-fours is being offered in support of the two ten-rounders. They are lined up as follows: Jimmy Abbey, Harlem, vs. George Teerra, New England, beezon, vs.佐伊·史密斯, Beezon, lazie, Johnny Fitzpatrick, West Side, vs. Frenchy Guemond, Bronx; Harry Buckley, West Side, vs. Galvin Holmes, Harlem.
Marshall Elected Captain of 1931 Bison Grid Eleven
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.—John Marshall, star halfback, was elected captain of the 1931 Bisons at the annual dinner tendered the squad in the Trustees' Dining Room at Howard University last Wednesday night.
Professor Frank Coleman, newly chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, acted as master of ceremonies, introducing Drs. E. P. Davs. Emmett J. Scott, and Mordecai W. Johnson, each of whom made brief addresses, following which the letter-men retired to elect a captain. Manager William Walker stated that Marshall was unanimously elected by the group. Retired Captain Glasgow Mack presented the team with a new football to the incoming captain who pledged to do everything within the time to live up to the requirements of a captain and to hold high the glory of old Howard.
The following letter-men participated in the election: Captain Mack, Lea, Payton, Hawkins, Stokes, Walker, White, Drew, Marshall, Teyler, Hall, Smith, Washington, Greenlee, Hagan, Whiting and Ellis.
Morehouse Team Closes Season With 9 Victories
The Morehouse Tigers have just gone through their most successful season for half a decade. At the beginning of the season everybody was of the opinion that the young recruits at Morehouse would not be able to take in the coaching or stand the punching of the heavy schedule that had been prepared for them. In the first game, in which Allen University was defeated by the Tigers 82-0, some signs of unusual co-ordination and power were evident, but little did any critic think other than that the Maroon Tigers had been doped for all that the lads could hold and that that game saw them burn out for the season. The following Saturday a plucky Knowle College team all but took the game in the last quarter, but finally had to bow in defeat with a score of 19-13. All eyes then turned toward these rejuvenated Tigers.
Osbiny Basketball Team Set
The Obbyin Club has launched a basketball team to represent them this winter, thereby venturing into another realm of entertainment. The team is composed of the best material available, and they have secured such players as Johnnie Burnell, Don Blench, Buns Harris, Sam Hawley, Eddie Collins, "Bobo" Brown, Oddie Ester and Wm. O'Brien. The men at the other have represented some of the leading high schools in Greater New York. On Saturday, December 20, they will play a charity game at the public bath house. 134th street and Fifth avenue, supporting the New York City Xmas Fund for the poor. Accommodations have been made to care of one of the largest crests to witness an amateur game. The Obbyin club play the fast-paced Club of Hornsford, I. The game starts at 9 p.m. sharp, the preliminary being between the Harlem Concerts and the St. "C" Flashes.
FOUR STRAIGHT FOR CRITERIONS
Last Wednesday night at the High School of Commerce the Criterion I located at P.O. 152, by the score of 19-19. Penera was high scorer with 8-5. Penera was high scorer with 10 points for the Criterion, while her ranger up six points for P. 152.

SPIRITED LAST HALF ASSAULT GAVE 'Y' JUNIORS VICTORY
Trailing far in the ruck at half time, the "Y" Juniors staged a sustained and spirited last half assault that carried them to a 40-35 decision over the clever St. Mark's Boys' Club last Saturday evening at the local "Y" gymnasium. Victory was particularly well deserved and hard earned, for the St. Mark's boys, led by Collins, clicked quite machinelike from the opening whistle and led at the end of the half, 22-11. The Juniors, on the other hand, could not get their attack going in this period, with the result that the game appeared colorless.
All of the fireworks were crowded into the second session, which saw Collins keeping the visitors in the running with four of the five baskets garnered by them. Henderson sneaked through for the first two ringers that

The first thing the new coach did after putting the men through a scrimmage was to cut the squad and make a lightweight team. Capt. Larry Bleach, Sonny Brooks, Capt. Arlene Bleach, Teenney "Big Boy" Handsome" Dan Arnaldo, "Big Boy" Lewis, Bud Taylor, Boy Bryant, Brothek Harris and Ed Marshall will represent the Senators. The Lightweightists are "Alex Harvest, "Tapa" Dave Walker, James Washington, Herb Romero, Gate Taylor, Morehouse star: Jared Johnson, Coach Van Romero, Leslie Wightman, Lea Cox, Fort Lucas, Arthur Cruze and Richard Till.
This Friday night's basketball game will bring together the "Y" Seniors and their arch rivals, Alpha Phil Alpha, fraternity champions. For the past two years these Alpha boys have been coming around and hanging it heavy on the 135th street boys. This year the Seniors are all primed to average past, and judging from the way they have been sweeping reverse opponents they seem ready to reverse things. The first with George Gregory, "Don Q" Hands and that gang of ball tossers, say it's just another game. Coach Holt thinks otherwise and wants the world to know that his boys are ready and sure to turn back the visitors. If confidence counts for anything we have to string along with the Horses in the first game the Alightwings will tackle the Red Wings. Come early. Don't forget the date, Friday, Dec. 19.

brought the Juniors within halling distance of St. Marks's. Two free throws made good by Johnson and a telling heave by Smelie brought them still closer. When Johnson, who heretofore could not make his shots find the rim, finally caged a long one, the score was tied and the home team was out. Our game is red hot." For a while the game was nip and tuck with Collins sending St. Marks's ahead, only to be immediately overhaul by Bourne or Henderson of the Juniors. Hanks shone toward the end of the game by caging two of the baskets that sent the visitors down to defeat. A glance at the distribution of the scores showed the better balanced aggression won. The effectiveness of all of the members of the Juniors is immediately evident. On the other hand, the 16 points chalked up by Collins of the St. Marks's aggre-

Far-Famed New York Pros Will Do Battle With the Local Renaissance Quintet Here Next Sunday Night
BY FRANCIS.
An even break is the best that Bob Douglas' Renaissance quintet could get from a brace of games played during the past week before fans of the greater city. On Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden they went down to defeat at the hands of the Brooklyn Cavaliers, the door at 37 to 37, and then down night the Renaissance Casino they won from Johnny Hawkes' New York Globe Trotters. 47 to 29.
In the Garden game, a large delegation of Harlem fans saw the great Rens in one of the worse exhibitions they have ever turned in. The fans were so excited to play the game, because whenever these two teams have met there have been fireworks, regardless as to who was the victor. The Rens, of course, were favored to win by the Harlem fans, because they were the only team of the games played between the two teams the past two years, and this season defeated the Paterson Crescents, which holds a decision over the Brooklyn quintet, but on Wednesday night the colored champions did not look any more like themselves and did not win.
The game was contested under American League rules, and the Rens acted as if they did not know what it was all about. The usually dependable "Fat" Jenkins was all at sea; "Pappy" Ricks left his brains and shooting eyes at home; Cooper was in his own way most of the time, and Capt. Slocum seemed as if he had suddenly added twenty-five years to his life. Only Eyre Saltht was a part of the great Rens machine as soon as the game ended, the sidelines due to injuries, and rushed in at the last moment, acted as if he was the Mayers of old, but too late to save the game.
The Visitation did not play as wonderful as we have seen them, either, but they didn't have to. They were, however, alert enough to take advantage of the Rens' miscues and lack of teamwork. The Rens went into a slight lead at the start of the game, but at the end of the first frame were on the short end of a 10 to 10 game. The 10 of the Rens' 13 points by five sizzling baskets. In the second half the Visitation increased their lead, while the Rens appeared to get worse than they were in the opening frame. Towards the end of the fray Mayers was rushed in, and in desperation the colored champions took a brace and brought the score up to a respectable point. They were going strong and closing in on their opponents when the whistle blew, ending the contest. The stout heart, clear head and chest were all intact, and only things that kept them in the game and prevented a complete rout. It is quite possible that the American League rules handicapped them, but
"Y" Comets Defeat Cubs
On Saturday night, Dec. 13, the Carlton basketball following witnessed Carlton's lightweight team in one of the best played games of the season. Carlton boys played a nip and tuck game for most of the first half, but in the second half, they visited the team and tucked the basket at will. At one-half time the score stood Comets, 15; American Cubs, 10. Final score: Comets, 13; American Cubs, 21.

Sunday night Johnny Hawkes and his Globe Trotters were taken into camp by the Rens, playing in their old form as confident and as brilliant teammates had a fine shooting team, fast and shifty, and with plenty of head, they held the Rens in check with their accurate shooting during the first half, which ended 22 points each.
In the second half the Rens easily outdistanced the Globe Trotters, and they had a deadly shooting the *-* baffled them almost completely, only allowing them seven points in this frame.

Lofton Withdraws From Association
Former Recording Secretary of Democratic Ass'n Joins New Body
Frederick D. Loffton, recording secretary of the Regular Colored Democratic Association of Kings County struck back at his former associates last Thursday evening at the meeting of the newly formed Kings County Democratic Organization held at the Carlton Y. M. C. A, where he declared uncompromisingly to support the latter.
Following this meeting, Mr. Loffton remarked that he was with pride that he was actively allying the new organization and shall present it to the other at next meeting. He said that it was impossible for the regular organization to make any new contribution because of its recent military tendencies. On its behalf, he declared, this association is composed of a young, militant group with courage and it is only through such and unselfish leadership that the civic status of the group will be improved. In consequence of these considerations, he said, he had decided to withdraw from the regular organization and support the National Color Organization.
Mr. Lofoten aroused the lre of the leaders of regular Democrat recently when he from them disjointed the self from them, he made the new organization and was made a member of the party at the time he said that his avowed purpose was to bring two groups together so that there might evolve from a strong and unified coalition.

The officers of his association are William P. Jackson, president; William A. Seilers, vice-president; Howard Daniels, recording secretary; tormore Hutson I. M. Law, executive secretary; Luther M.

Robert White, 18, 678 DeKalb Avenue, was on trial on a charge of robbery of a white man. When the jury retired Jermaine told the other eleven jurors, who decided for acquittal, that he did not like the Irish Catholic district attorney, and felt that Philip J. Jones, 391 Bridge street, should not be allowed to present arguments before white talesmen. The other jurors objected strongly and returned to the court where they were acquitted. Jermaine had said. The jurist sent a letter asking that Jermaine's name be stricker from the lists, and dismissed the indictment against White.

Republican Chiefs Emerge as Victors
Rivers and Fillmore to Head Club in 19th During
1931
Leadership of the Nineteenth Assembly district's G. O. P. organization, the annual meeting of the Central Republican Club last Wednesday evening. Despite the organization leader's defeat at the polls in November, the insurgents, who were seen as attacking the Republican Party, Fred R. Moore, went down in the struggle.
The ticket presented by the nominating committee of the club was headed by Assemblyman Francis Rivers as president and Col. Charles W. Pilmore, junior, as chairman of the executive committee. The chief opposition came from Harold Forstenzer, white, who sought the chairmanship for himself and the presidency for the Rev. Edward M.
Before the vote was taken it was discovered that someone had stolen the cards containing the names of members regularly enrolled in the organization from the clubhouse. The retiring president, Mr. Foster, gave his possession the official roll book of the club, and those whose names appeared in this book were permitted to vote. The result was 72 to 5 for the regular ticket. Fosterstorm announced before the roll was called that he would be removed from the club and the cheers that greeted the announcement of the result were calls from the audience for him to make good his promise. A motion to thank the retiring president for his services to the organization was unanimously carried out that Fosterstorm was shouted down before it could be recognized by the chair.
The Rev. and Mrs. Gillard, both of whose names appeared on the "irregular" ballot, declined to vote when the nomination was named for committee membership by this group refused to run. One of these, Miss Bertha Green, votes against the Forsterae ticket, filling in the Rivers made brief speeches in which they thanked the members for the vote of confidence and called on the membership to close ranks for forthcoming political battles against Tammany.

DePriest Speaks for Howard University
Scores Representatives of Tenn. and Virginia in First Speech of Session
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (ANP) — Expressing surprise that Southern members of Congress, men who profess such great friendship for the people of the United States, the ties of youth that bind them to colored people, should object to provisions to foster education for colored boys and girls, Oscar DePriest, Illinois, made his first speech in this session of Congress, in which he advocated for positive education and Byrns of Virginia and Tennessee, respectively.
Debate centered around the appropriation for Howard University. The sub-committee, led by Mr. Cramton, recommended that the $119,000 to be appropriated for salaries and maintenance, the sum of $400,000 be immediately allowed so that construction might begin an a library building, the final cost of which would be $800,000. In addition to the $119,000 to be appropriated to the bill be struck out, arguing that Congress has turned down proposals to increase the salaries of Federal employees, and had made other slashes, in order to meet employment situation. Mr. Byrns spoke in the same vein.
Mr. Murphy of Ohio spoke eloquently, and Mr. Cramton, Michigan, has consistently fathered and fought for the rights of his minutes of his time to Mr. DePriest.

Harlem Seen 100 Years Behind Whites On Problems Created by Tuberculosis
Study Made by Dr. W. P. Nathan for Health Association Relief From Grip of Menace Lies in Education and Better Wages
(Continued from Page Three.)
lem is more favorable than that for Manhattan, as are diarrhoea, enteritis and scarlet fever. Sulcides are fewer and also accidents, while the diphtheria rate about corresponds to New York City Figure 1839 persons in North Harlem died from tuberculosis. This means that, out of every 100,000, 193 people in Harlem died of the disease. In Manhattan for a corresponding period of time the rate of children of white children of the same age. This gives Harlem a ratio of nearly 2½ times that of the city as a whole. The death rate from tuberculosis in Harlem rose steadily over the five years of scanty means of support, overcoming, incomplete personal hygiene and other such evils. In addition to this,
the gleam in these dark clouds, however, is the fact that, although the death rate from tuberculosis is now so high as to be three and four times that of the white death rate in the city, it is also declining about the same ratio as it is among the whites. In some places, indeed, such as Tennessee, where especially crowded conditions prevail, the death rate of Negro children in elementary schools is the rate of white children of the same age.
According to Mr. Nathan's report, it is generally agreed that the susceptibility to tuberculosis is not a rate one. The disease comes as a result of the Harlem rose steadily over the five years of scanty means of support, overcoming, incomplete personal hygiene and other such evils. In addition to this,
The comparison of the Harlem tuberculosis mortality rate with that of the United States as a whole in the report, shows clearly the similarity of conditions in Texas and Denver. Can have the second and third highest tuberculosis mortality rate in the entire country. Harlem stands between these two, showing that the tuberculosis rate there is listed with that of the cities where the most serious conditions prevails, but this disease, happily invented and, if it has gotten a start and is caught in time, it is curable.
Factors that have contributed the most to the general decline of tuberculosis in America have been adequate sanatorium treatment of the tuberculous, education of general public in the education of the economic status of the people in this country. Shorter hours of employment have also been a factor. With a corresponding improvement in Harlem, this locality has become equal to that of any other community. There are excellent facilities in New York and Harlem proper, which can be consulted by anyone with any sort of pulmonary trouble; and a visit to the clinic for examination and a follow-up report may remedy the condition would mean a saving of lives.
Death Rate Dropping.
Hartem has its own problems, chief among which are tuberculosis, pneumonia, infant and maternal mortality. Pulmonary tuberculosis today corresponds to that of the white problem one-quarter of a century ago.

The gleam in these dark clouds, however, is the fact that, although the death rate from tuberculosis is now so slight as to be three and four times the same locality, it is also declining about the same ratio as it is among the whites. In some places, indeed, such as Tennessee, where especially crowded conditions prevail, the death rate of Wolverine children in elementary schools of white children of the same age. According to Mr. Nathan's report, it is generally agreed that the susceptibility to tuberculosis is not a race one. The disease comes as a result of many means of support, ing, incomplete personal hygiene and other such evils. In addition to it, it is found that certain immunity to tuberculosis is possessed by people from all over the country, among those coming to crowded areas from rural districts. There is however, reason to believe, says Mr Nathan, that when given a chance in favorable environment and with proper health teaching, any people overcome diseases which spring from conditions often beyond their control.
Not More Susceptible
Tuberculosis in infants is especially unnecessary and especially hard to cure. In a study made of over 4,000 cases of tuberculosis in infants, the fact that the Negro race is not more susceptible to the disease than the white, African-American, port, was again proven when it was shown that practically the same proportion of infection existed among children of both races. The policy of health education and co-operation in Harlem, which would go far in eliminating tuberculosis, Mr. Alvin Kruger, the director of the program, have the same effect on heart disease and pneumonia, the other leading causes of death. Proper pre-natal care for expectant mothers and understanding of infant care when the baby comes is another important program which the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association and other health agencies operating in Harlem are anxious to foster. The survey won a philosophy degree for Nathan at the close of the Summer School term at New York University, and now head of the Graduate School of Education at Atlanta University.

Mr. Hill was struck and fatally injured by a tadabac early last Wednesday morning as he was returning home after his evening's performance at the ManSField Theatre. The man was struck on the street and Eighth avenue, just one block from the actor's home at 328 S. Nicholas avenue.
Police Sergeant Rogers of the West 121st street station and Alder Drive, resident, Saverio Manella, white, driver of the cab which struck Mr. Hill, was placed under arrest and Mr. Hill was rushed to Sydenham Hospital in Brice's car, but expired before reaching the hospital. For the unidentified at the hospital, police, searching through his clothes, found his address scribbled on a piece of paper in one of his pockets. Mrs. Josephine was commended and identification was made.
His death almost brings to a close a life spent almost in its entirety upon the stage. He was born fifty-three years ago in Baltimore, where he attended the public schools. Soon he was at age 18, by the glamour of the basketball and the Indian snake oil show. After his nightly portrayal of a "redskin savage" the proprietor of the troupe would pass samples of the snake oil among the audience. Leaving the medicine show, he began to appear once after another show, "Tom's Cahk" which had a tremendous following at the time. His particular part at first he often declared, was to imitate the barking of the bloodhounds as they chased Eliza. His rise on the stage was steady and after success vaudevilleuled. He was the most successful "Snuffle Along" and "Running Wild" He played the part of Jake in "Perg."
His real chance, however, came his year, when he was chosen for the part of Gabriel in More than a gorgous blue and gold robe with gold wings and a golden trumpet, his was task to stand at the side of the Lord (Richard B. Harrison) for readiness at any moment. His interpretation of the Lord's Hills interpretation of the part and his seemingly repressible desire to blow his trumpet and to all who saw the play and greatly to its tremendous success.

Throughout the entire city, in most every store and shop, pillow and post, we see the injunction: "Buy Now and Save." This advice applies particularly to commodities such as furniture and clothing. Sales are continually conducted and values are unparalleled.
Business depression has brought these conditions and real estate has not been excluded. Fluctuations in property values have not been so affected since the financial panic of 1893, during which time real estate was so lowered that a large number of 50 per cent mortgages were foreclosed and not redeemed. Conditions of this kind cause what is sometimes called a buyers' market. Homes are cheaper today than they are likely to be for several years to come, prices and terms are more favorable than they have been for many years; therefore, to buy now means to save. The anticipating purchaser should, however, carefully consider the ob-
Lawyer Indicted In Divorce Case
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 15. (ANP).—George L. Vaughn, well-known attorney here, with offices in the People's Finance Building, and James Hutt, employee in the City Assessor's Office, were indicted on a charge of subornation of perjury by the Grand Jury in Special Sessions last Saturday, as a result of their part in the divorce suit of Walter A. Giles, athletic director of Vashon High School.
Vaughn and Hutt weir arrested following the sensational divorce trial of eight days which resulted in a decree in favor of Mrs. Hazel Giles against her husband, Walter, whom Attorney Vaughn represented.
Hattle and Louise Robinson, two sisters, who were also arrested, said they had been paid by Vaughn, through Hutt, to make false affidavits against Mrs. Giles' character.
Lols Patillo-Hardy, a witness in the case, repudiated an affidavit she had previously made, and told of the scheme to "frame" Mrs. Giles, and said Hutt gave each of the women $10, with a promise of more.
Through her attorney, Homer G. Phillips, Mrs. Giles filed a crossbill and received a decree, custody of two children, and $80 a month alimony.
Mitchell and Coage's Nominations Await 'O. K.'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—President Hoover sent to Senate last Wednesday the nomination of Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, W. Va., to be United States Minister Resident and Consul General to Liberia. Confirmation by the Senate without opposition is anticipated.
Mr. Mitchell will succeed the late William T. Francis, who died of yellow fever at his post in Monrovia in July, 1929. The post has been temporarily filled by charges d'affaires.
Mr. Mitchell is expected to sail for Monrovia shortly after his nomination is confirmed by the Senate. The Senate also has before it the nomination of Jefferson S. Coage to be Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. Mr. Coage was given a recess appointment Oct. 1. He succeeded Arthur G. Free of Welch, W. Va., who resigned. Mr. Coage has been the second deputy recorder since 1925. While he has been a resident of the District of Columbia, he claims citizenship in Wilmington, Del.

solescence and possible depreciating factors of a building, bearing in mind that there are styles in buildings as well as in clothing and furniture. One may keep a garment in good repair but sooner or later it is discarded, not because it is entirely worn out but because it is out of style.
The average Negro house purchased by the Negro home seeker, especially in sections where rapid changes of occupants are taking place, were built from twenty-five to forty years ago. The older a building grows, the more out of date it becomes. A building may be kept in repair or even improved upon, but this does not prevent depreciation or obsolescence, considering the fact that the rate ranges from 1 to 5 per cent per year, varying according to type or material used and the quality of its construction.

'Doc' Ferdinand Q. Morton Takes Over the Practice of Medicine
Failure of Negro Leadership
IF Ferdinand Q. Morton's erroneous and bombastic statement rejecting the Julius Rosenwald Fund's proposal to conduct a survey of Harlem's health, clinical and hospital needs had been due to ignorance, we could easily forgive him; but since it was not due to ignorance, we feel that it is our duty to expose it for what it obviously is: A diabolical and unnecessarily malicious attempt to inject more Tammany Hall corruption into the hospital situation in Harlem, at the expense of human life and suffering, and also at the expense of the advancement of the Negro in the medical profession.
Whatever doubt there may have been hitherto that political considerations, and not the public health and welfare, are in the saddle at Harlem Hospital, and that this venom is spreading beyond the hospital to the medical profession itself, has been removed by the request that the leader of the United Colored Democracy express his views on a matter brought directly before a medical body.
Alliance Confirmed.
By what process of reasoning was it necessary for Dr. James L. Wilson, who is president of the Manhattan Medical Society, to call upon Morton to set forth his views on the advisability of conducting a survey among the doctors themselves of Harlem's health requirements, if not for the purpose of affirming the questionable alliance existing between the medical society and Tammanyized Harlem Hospital? The Manhattan Medical Society, it will be recalled, was organized mainly under the sponsorship of Dr. Louis T. Wright, who, it is asserted, used his new position of secretary of the Harlem Hospital Board and his political connection with Morton to force defection from North Harlem Medical Society of all members who had profited by the Harlem Hospital shakeup or who hoped to profit by it.
The remaining members of the North Harlem Medical Society took a stand against the continuance of this domination of its affairs by a politician and refused to permit the organization to take control of the medical body. Dr. Wright is also a Tammany-appointed police surgeon.
Object of Survey.
The object of the survey was outlined clearly by Drs. D. L. Harris and Michael Davis of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. It planned neither to build a city hospital, which is ostensibly the business of the city, nor a private institution for Negro doctors to care for their private patients. The main proposal was merely to survey the Harlem field to find the place needed for the private patients. Negro doctors. Nevertheless the unfriendly leader wrote, as follows:
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 ordered physicians, surgeons and nurses enjoy equality of opportunity in our hospitals.
Second, the proposal is in principle directly in conflict with the fixed order of the city in New York City and the ideals and
Miss Nannie Burroughs recently and very strikingly called attention to the ineptness of Negro leadership. It is too painfully apparent that the Negro is falling below the level of his possibilities by virtue of the fact that the masses lack wise and efficient guidance and direction.
One might aptly liken the Negro's undeveloped capacities to the potentiality of the mighty waters that for ages have wasted their power in willful downpour over Niagara Falls, despite the fact that him harnessed and geared to efficient machinery for useful work. There is possibly no similar group of people anywhere within the pales of the civilized world whose innate capacities are less efficiently organized, co-ordinated and geared.
It would require an essay or a volume to unfold the full meaning and significance of the thesis here outlined. I must, in the limited space allotted, touch upon the more obvious features and phases of the general proposition. Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, scarcely has the imagination conceived, the vast and boundless possibilities wrapped in the human estate of twelve million people. No one it only awaits stimulation, organization and co-ordinated and efficient expression under wise, courageous and fearless leadership to give effective assertion and power. Up to the present, failure of Negro leadership has been due largely

practices of the present city administration. . . . The city does not separate any of its institutions by race or color, and never will. I hope, 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 permissible project, and if the party fails to do so, adequate for this purpose, then the Democratic party will sponsor the necessary legislation.
Private philanthropy, where it seeks to deal with matters in which basic social problems are involved, does of doubtful value in a democracy.
Nothing "Undemocratic."
Consideration of the proposed survey dates back to April of this year, when Dr. Davis, who is the medical director of the Rosenwald Fund, met with Dr. E. H. L. Corwin, president of the Public Hospital Information Bureau, here in the city. Present also were, Drs. Peter M. Murray and Charles C. Middleton of the North Harlem Medical Society.
According to Dr. Davis, the hospital needs of Harlem were discussed at the meeting and it was suggested that a survey be made of the situation. Dr. Davis asserts that he made it clear that the Rosenwald Fund had no intention of establishing a hospital in Harlem and neither would the fund finance a survey. If requested to do so by the groups affected, he expressed the opinion that the Rosenwald Fund would donate the services of members of their personnel to aid in conducting the survey.
We see nothing so "undemocratic" in this intelligent approach to what we believe to be a pressing health problem.
If the survey should be conducted, and if the need for a hospital should be shown, the projected institution would not be a city institution, but privately owned and operated institution, with a mixed personnel. The City of New York could exercise no more control over it than it exercises over other similar institutions, and could not be directly involved in conflict with the fixed policy of the Democratic party in New York City" any more than, say, Flower Hospital, Mt. Sina Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital or St. Luke's Hospital, the French or Italian hospitals.
City Draws Color Line
If the City of New York, even in city owned and operated hospitals, draws no color line, why is it that Negro physicians are found only on the star of Harlem Hospital; and why are Negro nurses confined only to Harlem and Lincoln Hospitals; and why are there no Negro internes in city hospitals, other than in Harlem Hospital?

Bellevue Hospital?
Morton knows these facts and the only reason that we can find to account for this erroneous misstatement of facts is his desire to prevent the founding of any hospital here that would jeopardize the Tammanyized staff at Harlem Hospital.
The jim-crow Morton fears is found to be rampant in his own Tammanyized Department of Hospitals, of which Harlem Hospital is a part, and it is to these discriminations and exclusions that Morton would direct his efforts if he were at all sincere.
Provident Hospital in Chicago admits white and colored patients, white and colored doctors, and so does even our own International Hospital, and so would the projected hospital in question.
Is a Hospital Needed?
A casual survey of the hospital field in Harlem reveals that hospital facilities, both private and city, are wolfly inadequate. It has been estimated by statisticians experienced in vital and health statistics that two per cent of the population is sick at all times and that, of this two per cent, in New York City, sixteen per cent is in need of hospitalization. Application of these percentages to 200,000 people reveals that, of Harlem's 4,000 daily cases of illness, it is necessary, or should be necessary, to hospitalize 640 continuously.
Now contrast this with Harlem's public and private hospital facilities: The official capacity of Harlem Hospital is 325, International Hospital 50, Edgecombe Sanitarium 15 and the Wiley Wilson Sanitaria making a total of 398 beds available or making a total of 640 daily hospital cases and 242 short of the estimated number of beds needed daily. The average of white patients in Harlem Hospital is about one-third, but about this number of colored patients should be found in other city institutions.
Doctor and Patient Part at Door.
While Negro patients are admitted to many of the private hospitals in the city, except for the three private institutions in Harlem—and with but one or two notable exceptions—the Negro doctor and his patient part company at the hospital door. That this limitation is detrimental to the development of the Negro physician and surgeon in Harlem is evidenced by the signed statement of four doctors prominently identified with hospital and sanitaryard projects;
Hospitals adequately equipped, staffed and served by men of wide professional training and social viewpoint are necessary to the de-
the widely proclaimed scandal, corruption and rumors of corruption in high and low esclastical circles to account for the lamentable religious debacle. Much of the loss of political power and prestige can easily be traced to the graft, venality and duplicity of too man, of our political leaders. The Negro lawyer presents fa- too many instances of taking advantage of the unsophisticated clients who place their interests in their keeping. One can scarcely pick up a Negro newspaper but that it carries sensational disclosures of some Negro doctor who has violated the ethics and integrity of the managers and in manageable failure of Negro banks, insurance companies and associated business ventures is too often traceable to downright rascality of the managers and manipulators. Such facts are painfully apparent. They make a sad picture for white people to look at.
Those who do not believe in the capacity of the Negro for self-leadership are faithfully recording every instance of failure to cast into our teeth to confound our boasted claims and pretensions. Indeed, our best friends among the white philanthropists are previously their heads as to the wisdom of allowing the Negro to assume leadership, even in his own affairs. Careful observation will disclose that white philanthropists are gradually and cautiously assuming broad control over every feature of Negro life and welfare where it is found, feasible to do so.

Dr. Peter M. Murray, an associate surgeon at Broad Street Hospital and president of the National Negro Medical Association, also sees patients in the hospital where Negro doctors can follow their patients. Says Dr. Murray;
A completely equipped hospital of about 150 beds in Harlem with semiprivate accommodations at a price within the reach of people of moderate income, measuring up to even a few hundred dollars, and serving an ambulance district; is imperatively needed to meet these pressing problems and could, in my opinion, be amply supported with a remarkably small operating deficit. Indeed, such a hospital would render the programs of the many health departments the district 50 per cent more effective. This is a challenge to public and private philanthropy.
Several other physicians, including several members of the Manhattan Medical Society, are known to favor a survey of the hospital situation but are afraid to let it be known for fear that Morton and Dr. Wright will have them put off the staff of Harlem Hospital, or otherwise punish them.
The leader of the United Colored Democracy has attempted to advance the idea that all Negro patients desire to go to city hospitals, which he also knows not to be a true statement; yet he is willing to permit this inference to be drawn for its political effect.
Philanthropy and Hospitals.
There is scarcely a privately owned hospital in the city that is not supported, either wholly or in part, by philanthropy, and if such support is of "doubtful value," it does not apply solely to a projected Negro hospital, any more than it applies to most of the great hospitals in the country.
Incidentally, International Hospital here reflects the demoralized condition of the medical profession in New York City. Here is a fifty-bed, well-equipped, modern hospital, which should be used up to its capacity as a nucleus for a greater institution, handicapped by the petty feasures and politics to be found among Harlem physicians. Denied admission to practice in white institutions, they yet refuse to use the facilities of an institution within their midst. The Roswalda survey might even have directed philanthropic assistance to this existing institution.
This demoralization would not be so harmful if it were confined solely to the doctors themselves, but it is not. Since Negroes have shown that they prefer to be treated by doctors of their own race, the doctors, as a matter of duty, should desire to become as proficient as possible in their profession. The patient suffers when they are not proficient, and they cannot become proficient without hospital experience in institutions where they, as well as their patients, are admitted. Instead of trying to overcome this lack of opportunity, this bar to their own advancement, we find far too many of them following the bad lead of a politician and the dogmatic, narrow-minded and selfish prejudices of a few members of their profession.
seem to be deficient in this capacity. Their fills and woes grew out of this seeming deficiency. Much of this is undoubtedly due to inevitable circumstances and conditions. In the historical development of the human race all peoples have had to fight their way upward from corruption to righteousness. Selfishness is, perhaps, the most dynamic human urge. The strong, the selfish, the selfless, without moral restraint, will fight and force moral way to leadership and theirance. Right has always lagged behind, might as a regulating factor in his man affairs. But might have produced endurance and stability unless, it has been sustained by right.
The facts being as they obviously are, the practical question is to suggest the remedy. The common good-sense and enlightened self-interests of the plain, common people must insist upon, demand probably in their leader, the people must hold the prince, the physician, the lawyer, these man and woman of rea

For Better or Worse
TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS OF MARRIAGE—From the Presbyterian General Assembly's Commission on Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage Edited by Clarence A. Spaulding. Published by The Macmillan Company, New York, $2.50.
LIFE is a series of disillusionments. You set up a pattern of good or evil, and it falls to pieces the moment you prod it. It is common enough to grow up regarding a man as a paragon of knighthood and then discover that at heart he is a slimy worm. But our illusions of evil also are doomed. The man we thought was a tiger in a human frame turns out, when known intimately, to be almost Christ-like.
It is surprising, likewise, to find how few of the so-called radical things, when examined, turn do this or that for years without a blush; but when someone comes along and gives it a new name they are star-tied. They resemble Mollie's bourgeois gentleman, who asked what prose was, and was overcome when he found he had been speaking it all his life. A goodly part of radicalism consists of labels.

You pick up this book, for instance: "Twenty-four Views of Marriage." The old-fashioned reader's glands begin to quiver, he expects to be frothing at the mouth before he has read fifty pages; the new-fashioned reader delightedly expects to find learned arguments justifying his or her sexual license. Both are disappointed. The first is relieved, the other is let down. Because this symposium was prepared under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church the cynical reader may fear that the marriage question was prejudged. He may say: "What's the use of reading it? It's only something to bolster up orthodox marriage." It is true that nearly all the twenty-four autobiographical forceful arguments for marriage as we know today, but they do not speak from an orthodox viewpoint. The inclusion of such writers as Elen Key, A. A. Brill, Bertrand Russell, Hermann Keyserling and Benjamin B. Lindsay assures the presentation of all sides of the marriage question.
Lindsey, the most belabored, verbally and physically, deserves to be considered first. He says that companionate marriage is not an untried theory threatening disaster to society; that Norway has tried it for twenty years and Denmark and Sweden for twelve, without disaster. He contends that we already have it in modern American church marriages, the only difference being that the couples agree privately not to have children, but do not dare announce this intention at the altar. Yet Denmark's divorce rate is only a little more than one-third as high as this country's, Sweden's a fifth, and Denmark's
Letters to the Editor
MADAM WALKER
Rev. George Frazier Miller Disagrees With an Issue Set Forth in "Timely Topics." To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir:
In your Topics in the issue of December 3 you remarked upon the possibility of the sale of Madam C. J. Walker had she been born a few years earlier. When you address yourself to the cataloguing of things and events that could have been, had conditions been otherwise than as they were or are, you embark upon a task of infinite range and, consequently, unprofitable in the effort.
Deductive logic has nothing to do with the underlying facts of life, but the man of logical mould is not satisfied to proceed to inferences until his experimentations are sufficiently comprehensive to bear him of the validity of his premises.
I just wonder whether you have done that in this case, or you are just advancing along a line of wholesale and indiscriminate logic.
Madman Walker rose to the heights through honest industry; her worth shone magnificently to all beholders; her bearing was courtly and benign. The realization of her ambition enhanced her graciousness and did not detract therefrom; her attainments might well be estimated in the absolute, for there is no demand of an exhibition of lowly origin to evidence her greatness by contrast. She was great in her own soul—in her innate personal worth and the exemplification of a beautiful life. Then one ventures the incorporation of the individual in a perfectly defined category, without a positive knowledge of the related facts, he is certainly treading on unjustifiable ground. Were you stating a known fact and not an inferential decision, the fact stands, nevertheless, impertinent to the spirit of the day and hour.
Colored American psychology seems to be so instinct with a sense of inferiority that it runs, almost universally, to an avowal or portrayal of abysmal beginnings that it might shine gloriously by contrasts, rather than by the inherent merit and intrinsic grandeur of the success made or the ends attained. In their conception of the properties of life and the things most befitting, persons else may be right and I wrong, but I have no time for a man's barking back to conditions—dismal and inapplicable, that had overwhelmed him in the unutterable adversities and afflicts of life. Except as necessary occasions may provoke their expression, they should be cast into obsession.

less than one-seventh. Under her father's says that this greater majority of companionsal marriages become procreative marriages. He believes that his plan will add to the happiness and permanence of marriage and the stability of the home. Bertrand Russell holds that the antisexual attitude of the Christian religion has done much to brutalize marriage. He contends that, from the time of the patristic era to the present day, the body and all bodily pleasures have been stigmatized by Christianity as bestial, and that woman, as the vehicle of fleshy raptures, has been unfairly represented as the door of hell. Well, nonetheless, have been taught to look upon sexual gratification desirable.
George Sherwood Eddy bears out Russell's argument by citing the instance of a young bride who said to her husband on their wedding night: "If I have to satisfy your lust I will do it; but I say in advance that I loathe and despise it and despise-you for wanting it." Dr. Joseph Collins disagrees with Lindsey, calling his plan nothin' but trial marriage, "experimental marriage." He likens it to tryin on hate ones keeps on trying till they found shredder. He polls after a lifelong contact with sons afflicted with nervous and mental disorders, is firmly opposed to birth control. He maintains that thwarting nature is hazardous and you have to pay for it one way or another.
Walter Lippmann thinks that reformers like Lindsey are too much concerned with the pathology sexual relations. He says they forget that their proposed remedies are only remedies and not ideals. Mates who are not lovers will not co-operate in rearing children; but love and nothing else very soon is nothing. The lovers must love many things together, and not only each other. Lippmann calls companionate marriage a tempt at a compromise between marriages that are difficult to dissolve and clandestine relationships that have no sanction whatever.
Count Hermann Keyserling has the reputation of being a radice thinker on marriage; but in this book he coos like a Victorian dows. He quotes and upholds all the old social standbys of his fathers; his article might have been written two hundred years ago. He states that an essential condition for happy marriage is that both partners should be on the same social plane, of equally high birth, and that most modern marriages are as wretched because they do not take this truth into account.
Gilbert Murray, from the calm shades of Oxford, is not excited about the present "crisis" in morals. He believes that the acceptibility, though open to criticism, is solidly based on the experience of the human race, and trusts the human instinct for decency level out the bumps.
It is impossible to review such book adequately in one newspaper column. Each of the twenty-four authors is giving the fruits of a lifetime of special study, and it would take a lifetime to decide which is right. Every marriage is a case by itself, and love is amenable to logic. Meanwhile Darby and Joan go on living happily together, leaving the intellectual to stew in their theories. All bolts down to what one of these writers says: "Where love is, then marriage is; where love is not, marriage has ceased to be."
