WE Timely AND Untimely Topics OF THE WEEK By THE EDITOR Lest We Forget. It is not too late to buy Christmas Seals of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, and help carry on this organization's important work in Harlem. The Zero Hour Has Just Begun WITHIN less time than twenty-four hours, Christmas of 1930 will be a past event; but the exemplification of the spirit of Christ will become more timely after the holiday than it has before it. Winter, the dreaded season of the year for the sick, the infirm and the unemployed, dropped in on Monday for a three months' visit, which may extend into next spring. Many of the thousands of Christmas baskets that were distributed yesterday and this morning to the poor will be empty before nightfall, and Friday morning these unfortunates will be compelled to face the stern reality of trying to keep body and soul together on empty pocket-books and empty stomachs. The spirit of Christ, which should dwell amongst us at all times and seasons of the year, should not, by any means, be permitted to depart from us during the next three months of winter, when stronger winds may blow through threadbare clothing, when the body demands more food, and when hope for the future reaches its lowest point along with the thermometer. The Lord Moves in Mysterious Ways FISHERFOLK of the village of Cascaes, Portugal, celebrated with thanksgiving services in church because a lottery ticket, held by them in the name of a bartender, had brought them $300,000, and thus averted a poverty-stricken Christmas. We have always been told that the Lord moves in mysterious ways and incidents like this should make us know it. IN SO FAR as New York City is concerned, capital punishment was abolished during the year 1930; for while the five boroughs of the city recorded between 350 and 375 homicides, there has not been a single execution for these capital offenses. There were fifteen executions in Sing Bing this year of persons convicted of capital offenses committed in other sections of the state. They're "Moanin' Low" Over in France MEMBER of American jazz bands in Paris are reported to be "moainin' low" over the decree of the French Government that all restaurants, casinos and cabarets that engage their services must employ at the same time a French band. The Americans fear that the amusement resorts will not be able to stand the double expense and that they will be the ones to go. This Week's News Index FIRST SECTION.

FIVE CENTS CHELSEA BANK CLOSES DOORS Hundreds in Line Seeking to Withdraw Deposits As State Banking Superintendent Takes Over Oldest Financial Institution in Heart of Harlem Harlem was struck a staggering blow yesterday when the State Banking Department took charge of the Chelsea Bank and Trust Company, and closed its seven branches, including the Harlem unit at 2398 Seventh avenue, at 1:47 p.m. The closing was precipitated by a heavy run, which began downtown Monday and spread to Harlem yesterday morning. After the news that two white men were arrested for spreading a false rumor about the institution's stability, hundreds of Harlemites crowded the unit and lined Seventh avenue from 135th to 134th streets. Hundreds were in line in Harlem when the door was closed, shutting them from their funds. The Banking Department issued the following statement: Joseph A. Broderick, superintendent of banks, announced that he had taken possession at 1:47 p. m. today of the Chelsea Bank and Trust Company of New York, N. Y., pursuant to the provisions of Section 57 of the Banking Law. Rumors have been circulated which have caused abnormal withdrawals of deposits, and the bank has been closed for the purpose of conserving the assets. The last quarterly statement submitted by the bank to the Department as of September 24, 1930, indicated the following condition: Capital $2,500,000 Surplus and undivided profits 2,306,000 Gross deposits 18,801,000 E. C. Heim, manager in charge of the Harlem branch, earlier JURY RECOMMENDS MERCY FOR SLAYER IN GUILTY VERDICT Harlem Man Who Killed Because Insulting Remarks Were Made to Wife Faces Sentence on January 6 Convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, William Simms, 29, 236 West 121st street, will face sentence in General Sessions on January 6. After a deliberation of three hours the jury returned the verdict before Judge Donnellan with a recommendation for mercy yesterday morning. Simms, who went on trial for his life Thursday, was charged with the slaying of Major Smith, 31, a boarder in his home, who was shot to death on the night of August 20. Policeman Takes Suspect In Harlem Theft Attempt On the stand, Simms admitted shooting Smith, but said that he acted in self-defense. The two, he declared, became involved in an argument after Smith had made an uncomplimentary remark about Mrs. Simms. When Simms resented Smith's remarks, he testified Smith attacked him and he shot Smith. Smith was instantly killed by a bullet from a .32 calibre revolver, which penetrated his brain. Following the shooting, Simms made no effort to escape but surrendered to detectives from the West 136th street station. He was represented by Os- (Continued on Page Two.) Policeman Takes Suspect In Harlem Theft Attempt Thomas Babbitt, 29, 254 West 133d street, elevator operator, was arrested Sunday morning at 8 o'clock by Patrolman Cohen of the West 136th street station, in an alleged attempt to burglarize the dress shop of Charles Flelscher, white, at 2530 Eighth avenue. According to Cohen, Babbitt attempted to enter the store by breaking a rear window of the store with a brick. The noise of the crash attracted Cohen's attention to the scene. Babbitt was held without-ball for action of the Grand Jury when arraigned Monday in Heights Court. Christmas The Christmas Star IT IS the Eve of Christmas, The snow lies deep and white, I sit beside my window, Gazing out into the night. And as I listen to the chimes, And watch the skies afar, Out of the east I see there shines One Holy, radiant star. And every other light grows pale Beside that heavenly glow. It seems to bid me follow, And I have no choice—I go. THROUGH lighted streets it leads me Past many a mansion fair, It gleams on dingy staircase Of many a garret bare. From highway on to highway, Through alleys dim and cold; But where'er it shines the pathway Is all painted o'er with gold. Sad minds forget their sorrows, Rough hearts grow soft and mild, And weary little urchins, Toss in their dreams and smile, And hosts of homeless wanderers, With uplifted tear-dimmed eyes, Seem to find a home at last Beyond the starry skies. AND now the earth is lading, I rise as borne on wings, Beyond this haunt of human strife This press of human things. Above earth's toils and sorrows, Above this want and woe, And all my tears and heartaches Are left on earth below, While onward, upward shines the star Until, it seems to me, It gleams upon the Golden Gates And o'er the Crystal Sea. I see the gates draw backward, I stand where angels trod; It is the Star of Bethlehem, That leads me up to God.

Old Harlem Opera House Damaged by Morning Fire One of the most spectacular blazes Harlem has seen in a long time swept early Monday morning through the two upper floors of the old Harlem Opera House, 211 West 125th street, damaging the historic structure to the extent of between $50,000 and $75,000. The fire, which was discovered shortly after 4 a. m., spread rapidly and threatened to destroy an adjoining building before, it was checked. The blaze began on the top floor where scenery, used in the days of the old Opera House, was stored.

Robinson will have a further hearing. Bowen told Magistrate Burke that a tool chest and clothing valued at $450 disappeared from a room he rented from Robinson at 2113 Madison avenue. The carpenter said he was also dispossessed for non-payment of rent while absent, and he learned upon returning that Robinson had moved his effects to another house. The landlord refused to return the things, he said. --- Harlem Bank Shut CHELS Campbell Photo.

EXTINCTION OF 'POLICY' THREATENED Clearing House Will Discontinue Posting Daily Figures—Harlem Cops Drawn Into "Numbers" Investigation Extinction of the "policy" game was threatened today following announcement that the New York Clearing House would cease posting and distributing the daily exchanges, balances and Federal Reserve credit balances. The ruling is expected to go into effect January 1. The announcement came on the heels of startling revelations purporting to show the connections of Harlem police and magistrates with the racket. The disclosures were brought out by the Appellate Division's inquiry into the Magistrates' Courts, conducted by Referee Samuel Seabury, with Isidor Kresel as prosecutor.

It all began Saturday night when Hiram, a Pullman porter, came home drunk and started a quarrel with his wife. As the argument grew more heated, he struck and kicked her. When Norman sought to interfere, he was pushed aside by his father, who seized a bottle and renewed his attack on his wife. Then it was, as Norman told police afterwards, that the lad forgot everything else and flew to his mother's defense. Seizing a bread knife, he stabbed his father several times in his right arm, shoulder and chest. The elder Jordan crumpled to the floor. Alarmed, mother and son sought aid. An ambulance was called from Harlem Hospital and Jordan was removed to the institution for treatment. Norman (Continued on Page Two.) --- "Policy" players place bets with collectors working for "bankers" of the game, who pay 600 to 1 to winners. The collectors, whose number is legion, accept any amount. One can bet 2 cents up to several dollars. The collectors demand a "cut" out the winnings, and usually the winners are paid 540 to 1. There are numerous combination bets accepted with, of course, lower returns. The player gives his number to the collector, who writes it on a sheet with the date, designates the "bank" with code or initials, and gives the player a duplicate. These slips are turned into the "bankers," whose clerks determine the winners by compiling a number, say 540. The occurrence of these digits in certain of the Clearing House figures will determine the winners for the day.

The confidence man, who has a long record for clever duping schemes, was traced to the West Indies by operatives of Boulin's National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street who acted for a bonding company that gave $5,000 security for Davis. The pending indictments charge that Davis, who usually acted as a Hindu priest in his swindles, got $5,511 from a Harlem laudress and a truckman under the pretense of securing the winning 'policy' numbers for them. Mrs. Olive Dean, 50, 14 West 119th street, was duped of $2,300, she charges, or Orville Millwood, also under indictment, introduced her to Davis. After a fake seance, Mrs. Dean found herself with an envelope containing strips of neatly folded newspaper. Davis and Millwood were indicted by the Grand Jury on July 22. Both were scheduled to appear for trial July 30. Millwood was caught here by Boulin's detectives after he had forfeited his ball, and a search was begun for Davis. A new automobile offered as security on Davis' ball bond disappeared with him when he went to Kingston. The second indictment against Davis was returned on September 11, on complaint of Artemas Green. 261 West 138th street, who said Davis, while a boarder in his home, duped him of $3,000 on April 24. Vernon Mullett, 42, 811 St. Nicholas avenue, who was accused of acting in concert with Davis, was sentenced recently to a term of one year and six months to three years in Sing Sing by Judge George L. Donnellan in General Sessions. Davis and Mullet are natives of Cuba. The former, according to police, has been convicted twice for grand larceny in Kingston, Jamaica. Boy,17,Held as Slayer of Father (Continued from Page One.) was placed under arrest by Detective O'Connor of the West 13d street station. At the hospital, Jordan's wounds were not considered serious and he was allowed to return home again. When Norman appeared before Magistrate Burke in Harlem Court Sunday morning on a charge of assault he was released in $5 bail with the admonition that he return home and make peace with his father. At home again, father and son were reconciled and all were happy. The quarrel and the blows of the night before were forgotten. But as the day wore on Jordan became worse. Harlem Hospital was called and in response to Mrs. Jordan's appeal, Dr. Marziano came. When he arrived Jordan was dead. The West 123d street station was again notified and Detective O'Connor made his second visit to the dingy and now desolate flat. There he found the unhappy mother trying to comfort her weeping son who had dared to protect her from the brutal attack of her drunken mate. Norman was rearrested, this time on a charge of homicide. His body shaking with sobs, the youth was led from the apartment. When the youth was arraigned in Homicide Court Monday, he was held without bail by Magistrate Brough, who adjourned the case for a week. At his previous arraignment in the Harlem Court Sunday, both Norman and his mother recounted a sordid tale of unhappiness and misery occasioned by Jordan's frequent intoxication. Her husband, Mrs. Jordan told the court, came home drunk almost every Saturday night, at which time he would beat her. When Norman would plead for her, she said he, too, would be beaten by his father. Police of the West 123d street station described the dead man as an inveterate wife beater. He had, they said, been haled into court several times before by Mrs. Jordan, who always relented and begged for her husband's release. He was, she said, "a good provider" when he was sober.

Parlom firemen extinguished the blaze quickly. Mrs. Mabel Phillips, a teacher in the parish school, discovered the blaze at 10 a.m. The parochial school was adjourned for the day by the Rev. J. E.

This action will mean that "bankers" must use some other figures in their business. Probe Bank Accounts. Two Negro policemen were drawn into the Appellate Division's inquiry and study of the "policy" game in connection with the Magistrates' Courts when Kresel suppooned the bank and brokerage accounts of 159 policemen, their relatives, lawyers and bondsmen. The two are John E. Roberts, 103 West 141st street, and William E. Hunter, 667 East 225th street. Both are members of the plainclothes vice squad of the Sixth Division, which embraces Harlem. Roberts and Hunter were accused of "framing" Mme. Stephanie St. Clair, former "numbers bank" operator, who was recently freed from Welfare Island, where she served eight months on a "policy" possession conviction. Another angle developed Thursday when Tmanuel Kline, plainclothesman of the Sixth division, who is attached to the district attorney's office as "numbers" expert, was sent back to his headquarters. There are no charges against Kline before the Kresel investigation. The policeman is a member of the board of managers of the West 135th street Y, M. C. A, and a trustee of Abyssinian Baptist Church. Mme. St. Clair appeared at the Supreme Court building last Wednesday and made a public announcement to the effect that she had paid thousands of dollars to magistrates for favors in Harlem. She would reveal no names. A Harlem magistrate took a hand in the investigation of the courts and bondsmen Monday when he ordered minutes and other records in a "police" case sent to Referee Seabury. Judge Alds Inquiry. Magistrate Dodge, sitting in Harlem Court, learned that Alfred Wilkins, 41, a barber, 422 St. Nicholas avenue, who was arrested on a charge of "policy" possession, had been kept from the jurisdiction of the court, although his bondsmen knew a bench warrant was out for the defendant's arrest. Wilkins was freed in $500 ball provided by Vincent Disalvo, white, former agent for the Greater City Security Company, on July 15. After paying the bondsman, Wilkins thought the case was settled and failed to appear for a further hearing. Disalvo accosted the barber later and forced him to pay $50 down and $10 a week for a long period under threat of arrest. The bail agent claimed he had been victimized of $500 because Wilkins failed to appear. Magistrate Dodge set new ball at $500 and ordered the case brought to the attention of Mr. Kresel. A charge of overcharging for a ball bond is pending against DIsalvo and he has been suspended from operation.

The trial of Perkins, who is charged with having stabbed to death his wife, Elaine, 28, began two weeks ago. With the discharge of the jury yesterday, Perkins will get a new trial early next year. Mrs. Perkins was killed on the afternoon of April 28, last, in the modest furnished room where she and her husband made their home.

Yancy, Hat Manufacturer, Has Faith in Negro Business, Despite Cold Shoulder Georgia Man Started Enterprise in Dayton, O. By GLENN CABRINGTON. HARLEM boasts a single fac- ture where both men's and History where both men's and women's hats are made under the ownership and management of a Negro. And that establishment, like so many other local business enterprises, is not the fruit of native effort, for Frank Yancy, the founder and present head of Yancy and Son, was born in Augusta, Ga. Leaving the South at an early age, after learning the rudiments of hat making in odd jobs at different places, Yancy entered the hat business for himself in Dayton. Ohio, a decade ago, rapidly developing a small plant, with shr. full-time employees, and contracting with retailers there to furnish them hats. But the proverbial "Dame Fortune" did not lend him all the aid he needed and, though the business went well enough, a series of robberies caused him to look for success elsewhere. He sold out his business in Dayton and journeyed to Gotham. Faced Cheerless Future. Once in New York, prospects were not so bright. There was greater competition, and such assets as good will do not follow readily from smaller centers to New York. Hence, a new start on a small scale faced Yancy as his only hope. He rented a basement at 117 West 125th street and there, alone, began work. For two years the humble hatmaker plied his trade. Not being satisfied, however, with his basement factory, Yancy closed it down in 1924 and took a position with Harry Brody, a white manufacturer of hats, remaining with him, first as factory hand, but later becoming manager of the shop. A fire forced the closing of this factory, at 63 West 125th street. Once more Yancy tried to establish himself independently in New York. He began to make hats this time at 302 West 127th street. In April, 1928, he opened the present establishment, at 2635 Eighth avenue, where he occupies the entire second floor. Keeps Open Shop Trade unionism has influenced the development of Yancy's fortunes in the business world to a considerable degree. He tried, during the years when he was learning his trade in different places, to enter the unions that would guarantee him equal opportunities for employment and wages with his peers. His efforts failed on every hand because of his race. So he not only learned to dislike Jim-crow labor organizations, but he was encouraged to strive hard to go into his own enterprise where, he felt, he could not be ousted from fair competition by race prejudice. This factor helped him determine to make and keep his establishment an open shop. The New York hat workers' unions, which had denied him admission, kins was captured shortly after the tragedy by Policeman Moore of the West 136th street station, to whom he confessed his guilt. Perkins is represented by Samuel Segal and Byron Salzberger, both white. The prosecution was led by District Attorney Moore. WOMAN CATCHES THIEF RANSACKING HER HOME Arrested when surprised by Mrs. Jane Langdon in her apartment at 188 East 101st street, Charles Taylor, 19, 1792 Third avenue, was arraigned Saturday before Magistrate Burke in Harlem Court on a charge of burglary and held in $1,500 bail for a further hearing. Mrs. Langdon told the magistrate that when she returned home she found Taylor ransacking a bureau drawer. He had gained entrance by forcing open a fire escape window. She screamed for help and neighbors who came to her aid grabbed Taylor and held him until the arrival of a policeman. Hours: Dally, 9 to 9 Is Your Plate Loose?

Yancy, therefore, decided to take novices who were willing to learn into his shop and teach them his own methods. This, he finds, works well, and enables him to fit his workers for the particular requirements of his limited facilities, and also to teach them the features of his trade which are more or less original with him. Employs Five Persons. In addition to himself and his wife, Yancy gives employment to two girls and a man on the inside, and he has a salesman who deals with the retailers handling his hats. There are three hat shops that take his products regularly, all of which are white, and others that deal with him now and then. He married Miss Olive Ramoo of Trinidad, B. W. J., in 1924. He has one son, a four-year-old, who is the potential junior partner. In name he is already associated, for the firm is known as Yancy and Son. His parents affectionately refer to him as "the manager," and plan to school him for this role in later years. Some Hats Cost $100 Some hats Cost $100. The Yancy factory, which does both machine and hand work, has a line of hats selling for prices ranging all the way from $3 to $100 for a single hat! All kinds of hats can be made there—felt, straws, panamas, velours and all the rest. The summer sales, while they usually bring a higher price per hat, do not, according to Mr. Yancy, equal the fall sales in bulk. Any person can go into this establishment and have his head adorned to suit his tastes and whims. Although the special emphasis is on the "upper story" requirements of the male population, the fairer sex is also given a "break" in the equipment of the factory. In addition, Yancy operates a cleaning and blocking department for hats that have already been worn. Negroes Shun Goods. None of the Negro salesmen of men's hats are supplied by Yancy, although he maintains that his Strickler's 142 West 125th St betw.

He confidently awaits the day when well-equipped factories run by some Negroes and hiring others will cover all the heads of Black Manhattan. WEDNESDAY.

Evelyn Gray, investigator for the State Department of Education, charged that Mr. Holland gave her treatment, during which he used the stethoscope and instruments for determining blood pressure. Miss Gray said she paid him $8. Holland was emphatic in his denial. He used no instruments and prescribed no medicine, he said. Mr. Holland said he knew Miss Gray as Martha Wilson and merely adjusted her spine, under the authority gdanted chiropractors under the laws. The prosecutor, Sol Ullman, white Assistant Attorney General, told the court that Holland used the initials "D. C, M. C." and "Ph. C." in violation of the law.

Automobiles Exact More Harlem Lives Technical Manslaughter Charges Hit Drivers in Motor Deaths The Harlem death toll noted on the increase yesterday after a week in which pedestrians fared tragically on the street. The victim was claimed in the upstown community Sunday morning, when James Jammeson, 58, 63 West 131st street, was struck and instantly killed by a taxicab as he attempted to cross Seventh avenue between 130th and 131st streets. Gregory Clark, white, driver of the cab, was arrested on a technical charge of homicide immediately following the accident. Jammeson was struck by Clark's car, which was proceeding south on Seventh avenue, shortly after 6 a.m., as he walked toward a wet on the road. He received a fractured hand and other injuries and was pronounced dead by Dr. Fugazi when taken to Harlem Hospital. Clark was arrested by Petrolman Nolan of the West 136th station. Held as Hit-Bum. Lee Nell, 32, 07 West 141st street, will be arranged in Homicide Court today as the hit-and-run driver whose car ran down and killed Arthur P. France, 46, of 151 West 143d street, at 126th street and Lenox avenue. Nell was captured by Policeman McCord, of the West 123d street station, who witnessed the accident and who commanded a taxicab and gave chase, firing two shots at Nell's machine. At 121st street and Morningside avenue the fleeing man was apprehended. France was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he pronounced dead upon arrival. Arraigned before Magistrate Capshaw Friday morning, Nell was held without ball for today's hearing. When arraigned in Homicide Court Monday Clark was held in $1,500 ball for another hearing on Jan. 5. Dog Acts as Judge In Ownership Tilt Dog Acts as Judge In Ownership Tilt Laddie Boy, Who Was Jack to White Man, Prefers Harlem Woman A dog was permitted to determine its master Saturday in Harlem Court when Magistrate Burke was called upon to adjudicate the claims of a Harlem woman and a white man. The dog was brought to court by Charles Hoffman, white, of 59 East 106th street, when Mrs. Virginia Fromberger, 230 West 147th street, claimed ownership of the canine and summoned Hoffman on a charge of unlawfully withholding her property. The result was that Mrs. Fromberger secured possession of the dog she lost in August, 1929, and Hoffman obtained $10 for taking good care of the canine. Laddie Boy, the woman informed Magistrate Burke, had been with her for several years. After he disappeared she advertised in the newspapers, without result. Recently, however, she discovered the dog in Hoffman's possession. Hoffman refused to give up the dog. He was not the missing Laddie Boy. He was "Jack." Jack, the man declared, was discovered in January, 1929, in a truck in Harlem Market. He appeared extremely emaciated. Hoffman prevailed upon the owner of the truck, he said, to let him take care of the dog, the truck driver agreed, so the dog became Hoffman properly. Conflicting testimony failed to make adjudication of the case possible, so the dog was called in. Both Mrs. Fromberger as well as Hoffman were then told to call the dog. He showed a greater fondness for Mrs. Fromberger, who was then awarded the canine and Hoffman was allowed $10 for its upkeep. Court Sets $25,000 Bail For 4 Robbery Suspects Four men alleged to have admitted they intended to hold up a second-hand clothing store were arraigned Thursday before Magistrate Burke in Harlem Court.

J. Detective Coleman, Hushlion and Glennon of Inspector McNell's staff, who made the arrests, said Holmes, Flagg and McCadney had loaded pistols on their persons. These three had their ball raised $1,500 each on charges of violating the Sullivan law.

Penal Term Given To Rudolph Brown Racketeer, Dismissed in Holstein Case, Gets "Policy" Sentence Rudolph Brown, Harlem racketete and "numbers" man, who figured in the sensational Casper Holstein kid-napping case in 1928, was sentenced to four months in the New York County Workhouse on Friday, following his conviction of possession of "policy" slips in Special Sessions. Brown, who is 34, gave his address as 187 St. Nicholas avenue. He pleaded guilty to the "policy" charge on December 3. The convicted man, who in 1928 admitted that he was in the "numbers" business with Michael Bernhard, a former New York detective, was arrested April 15. Officer Wittenberg of the Nineteenth division said he found Brown in possession of nine slips. Brown was again arrested and arraigned in Heights Court on a robbery charge on October 12. He was accused of participating in the holdout of a firearm on West 189th street, who was robbed of $388 he he had collected rents in Harlem. Detectives of the West 186th street station charged that Brown pointed out Spurr to the robbers. The racketeer was subsequently dismissed on this charge. At one time Brown was a leader in the Hornbill "policy" game. His income from the racket was estimated by him at $150 daily in 1928. He was also formerly manager of the Alhambra Ballroom.

Senegalese Soldier Runs Amuck; Kills 6 Senegalese Soldier Runs Amuck; Kills 6 Dies by Own Hand After Holding Regiment at Bay The story of a crazed Senegalese soldier, who, with an army rifle, shot to death six persons and then held at bay a whole regiment of troops, and was found a suicide, was told in an Associated Press dispatch from Pepignan, France, Saturday. In a vault at Fort Serrat, where Corporal Seenda, the demented man, took refuge, soldiers discovered his body with his rifle lying across it. He and placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his toe. Before he starved on the rampage Friday Seenda wrote in the regiment's order book: "I am Seenda, a son of the Ivory Coast, Borunka Village, a man of the circle and officer of the day." Recently he was demoted from sergeant on Friday and armed himself with a service rifle and scores of cartridges and began shooting, one of his victims being a woman. He then fled to the vault. Partly because of his reputation as the best shot in his regiment and partly because of the security of his position, officers refused to risk the lives of their men to capture him. Through Friday night they watched from a safe distance. Saturday morning chloride and sulphur fumes were introduced into Seenda's stronghold. After a long interval of silence the soldiers entered and found him dead. N. C. GOVERNOR STAYS CHRISTMAS EXECUTION RALEIGH, N.

NEGRO HAS FRIENDS IN SUPREME COURT Whatever his fate in lower courts, the Negro has come to feel that in the Federal Supreme Court he stands his best chance of obtaining justice, writes Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in an article, "The Negro and the Supreme Court," in the January number of Harper's Magazine. "In that court six notable decisions have been made, each of the last four years, each of them of far-reaching effect on the Negro's constitutional rights. Three of those decisions outlawed the herding of Negroes in ghetto by means of city ordinances or state laws; another established the principle that trial of a person accused of crime in a court dominated by mob influence is not due process of law; and the disfranchisement by means of Grandfather Clauses and of enactments preventing participation in Democratic primaries."

"We recognize the right of the President to appoint his official family" says the N. A. A. C. P. statement released by Acting Secretary Walter White, "as represented by the Cabinels, without outside interference except in extraordinary circumstances. The N. A. A. C. P. will therefore take no action in opposing confirmation of William N. Doak as Secretary of Labor. "The N. A. A. C. P., however, views with great regret the appointment to so important a post of one who has in so many ways shown himself to be completely lacking in sympathy with the aims of Negro labor. In January 21, 1928 (when Doak was first consideration for the Cabinet post), we formally urged upon the President to embrace himself with all the facts concerning Mr. Doak's anti-Negro labor activities. In our formal protest we wrote Mr. Hoover that Mr. Doak represents something which is of vital importance to the American Negro. He's a member of the Negro community will not allow Negroes to be members under any circumstances. He not only carries out the directions of this trade union on its head, but he is now for years active in trying to deprive American Negroes of their right to labor in any capacity on their land. He is active on this part which we would be glad to lay before you if you should wish. Under such circumstances it seems to us useful to have a man at the head of the great Department of Labor whose activities have been openly in opposition to the American Negro.

This combination of phrases skeletonizes the Christmas story that has been told for years that total nineteen hundred and thirty. To young and old this story continues to be fascinating. Tomorrow is Christmas Day. As a part of the celebration of the day, no doubt you are going to do many things for the members of your household and for your host of friends. You have been urged to center your giving to articles classified as necessary and conservative, rather than to luxuries. Giving this year for many persons will be limited to small remembrances, such as greeting cards and telephone calls. Don't feel embarrassed or low in spirit just because you are not financially able to give as in former years. It will take a Christmas such as this one to test the quality of love and respect that your friends have for you. Loyal friends will remain unchanged, whether or not you give them presents. If you are without funds for presents, why not use tomorrow as a visiting day? Your visit, your talking over old times, will assure your friends that you are thinking of them—even though your gift may be missing. It is within your power to make the day and the season merry for yourself and your friends. Don't talk about hard times tomorrow. Scatter sunshine and cheer by being pleasant and happy, and in return you will attract happiness.—T. E. B.

Wile in a recent number of the Parent's Magnazine. Such treatment, he says, may make the child nervous and unhappy and result in difficulties of speech, reading, writing, and thinking. Left-handedness is not an abnormality, he assures anxious parents, but is simply a sign that certain nerve centers on the right side of the brain are more active than those on the left side, whereas in a right-handed person the corresponding nerve centers on the left side are the more active. Household Hints If your copper kettle has been culled by contact with the fire, it is easily cleaned with a lemon cut in halves and dipped in salt. Rub the over the kettle and wash immediately or the acid will eat into it. Left-over pieces of wall paper should be saved for patches in case of accidents. When a room is newly built, you should put a patch of paper but sometimes a patch of paper will save your having the entire room or ceiling done over. Your bread maker may be cleaned in a much shorter time if boiling water is poured into it and allowed to stand ten minutes. STARCHING. Organdles, dotted Swiss, dimities and other very delicate materials may be stiffened by using one teaspoon of borax to a one-fourth of a cup of gum Arabic solution (made by dissolving one tablespoon of gum Arabic in filling water to each quart of water. Do not let the starched pieces hang in the wind after they are dry, lest the stiffness be whipped out. PLAYER PIANO Bargain—Formerly $650 Now $95 Only $5 Down $1 a Week H.

Just the time when they want to feel and look their best, they are often at their worst. It may be due to excitement, worry, too heavy a social program, or too heavy a diet. And too, it may be due to the combined lot. Be moderate. Don't suffer needlessly for the sake of overdoing things for one or two days. Be careful of your diet. Remember that rich pastry, cakes, sauces and creams are generally harmful in one way or another. Eat, but don't overeat. Just because Aunt Mary is a corking good cook is no reason why you should harm yourself by eating too much. Just let your social program get too heavy. It's all very well to be popular, but it's not sensible to overdo things. Be moderate and you'll enjoy yourself more. May this Christmas be a very happy one to you and yours, is the wish of FANNETTE.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS Whatever you do, remember that Christmas is a merry time. Be in a cheerful humor when you go to dinner and put forth an extra effort to be agreeable with all the other dinner guests. Cooking Hints ANY left-over celery leaves can be dried out in a lukewarm oven, put into a glass jar, and kept for flavoring soups, sauces, etc. Do not keep olive oil directly on the ice. It freezes readily and is then difficult to use in salad dressing. Frozen olive oil will cause the dressing to separate. When cooking little cakes in tins, leave one tin empty and fill with water. This will prevent the cakes from browning too quickly. Never let tea stand for any length of time before serving. Always let water come to a boiling point before pouring over tea leaves.

Age of Parents Approximately one first-born child in ten loses his mother before the age of 17 years, according to a recent issue of the Statistical Bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. The probability of his losing his father before that age is slightly higher. A larger proportion of the children after the first-born is likely to lose a parent before the age of 17, since the proportion increases with the increasing age of the parent.

CHRISTMAS DAY in the Middle West and South, when one meets a friend or neighbor and is the first to greet that one with the above salutation, the party of the second part is supposed to kick in with a Christmas present. I am broadcasting my Christmas gift salutation to all and sundry, and I hope all who read this will come through with a present. It has been said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. I am not selfish and I have no desire to be the recipient of all the blessing, so this is one Christmas I have made up my mind to sit on the receiving end and let the other fellow enjoy the blessing: The Florence Mills Theatrical Association at 115 West 131st street will serve a special Christmas Day dinner. The dinner will be free to performers who are unemployed. Contributions from the actors who are working will be accepted and the money will be used to carry on the daily free meals that are being served to the unemployed. The renewed spirit of good-will and fellowship that is manifest at the association these days will warm the cookies of anyone's heart. Nightly the comfortable and beautifully furnished rooms are filled with girls and boys, laughing, chatting, playing games and having a general good time. Romeo L. Dougherty, the genial dean, drops in nightly to look things over and dispense good cheer. The dean will not have it made known how much he has contributed towards the renewed spirit and the free meals, but we of the association know and appreciate his inestimable service. Leigh Whipper is in charge of the meal service. Lew Peyton is the official cock and what would we do without the help of Gertie Moore and St Clair DePina? Paul Floyd is in charge of the amusements and Mr. King is the genial custodian. Almost nightly one can meet such headline performers as Miller and Lyles, Tim Moore, Mantan, Billy Mills, George Cooper, Harrison Blackburn, Edgar Martin, Young Billboard Jackson, Homer Tutt, Alonzo Fenderson, Arthur Porter, Edgar Burkes, Lou Vernon, Jimmy Fuller, Tumpy Gregg, Monte Hawley, Billy Andrews, Pickanan Hill, Reginald Fenderson, Ivan Sharp, Milton Williams, Hayes Pryor, Col- linton Hayes, Irvin C. Miller, Frank Wilson and musicians and other esteemed gentlemen of the profession such as Lucky Roberts, Will Vodery, J. C. Johnson, Andy Razaff, Izzy Meyers, Walter Parker, George Lee, and Oscar Michaux, motion picture producer, and a host of others. And le' it be known, that there are no prettier girls in the world than those who are now finding their amusement at the F. M. T. A. Sunday nights the association is a veritable flower garden of feminine beauty. The free meal service is being continued by contributions received from those who are working. The meal is served every evening at 6 o'clock. Come and eat and leave your donation if you can afford one, for every little bit helps. Arthur Porter. J. Homer Tutt, and Paul Floyd have each furnished the food for a daily meal. Richard B. Harrison. Daniel Haynes, Mrs. Willy Mays, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Archer and the working crew of "The Green Pastures" gave contributions sufficient to furnish three daily meals. Drop in and see what we are doing. The formal dance given by the Lucretta Girls at the Renaissance Casino was one of the happiest and swellest affairs it has been our pleasure to attend. The Lucretta Girls are only exciled for their popularity by their beauty. Miss Christole Williams president; Oulida Vaughn, vice-president; Alloe Harris, recording secretary; Clara Pinckney, corresponding secretary; Elizabeth Elzy, treasurer; Hortense Shields, chaplain; Elise Burrows, chairman program committee; Empress Mitchell, business manager; Inez Persaud, assistant business manager; Emily Pollard, sergeant-at-arms. All were present at the ball, with the exception of Miss Inez Persaud, whose beauty and jollity were missed by the young Lochinvars who were present. Anne Pickney, Emily Hinder, Blanche Lassiter, Stephanie Smith and Florence Vining form the advisory board. The Lucretta Girls hold their weekly meetings at the F. M. T. A., and have done much to awaken interest in the association and its projects. The Coquette Social Club, an auxiliary of the Lucretia Girls, held a Sunday afternoon tea at the association. It was largely attended and greatly enjoyed. We have been highly honored by the Lucretia Girls, the Coquette Girls and their parents. We were unanimously voted the honorary father of the Lucretia Girls and the guardian of the Coquette Girls. The club of the Coquette Girls is made up of Lillian Brownnell, Evelyn Harris, Ollie Washington, Melba Moore, Dorothy Brown, and Drensilla Daleen. "Angels" Draw Notice.

Manager Charlie Buchanan announced the other hint that the Savoy will jump into a miniature city, where the holiday celebration will be ushered in with all the appurtenances associated with the welcome to the Merry Yuletide season. The management will play Santa Claus to the patrons by a lavish distribution of souvenirs, and so that the dawn of the year will leave no patron of the night regretful, the Savoy will furnish the noise-makers, paper hats, etc. many would otherwise be purchasing to parade the principal streets when the signal is given that another year is with us. With its new decorations, fountains, carpets, innovations and novelties, it would be hard to find a better place enjoy itself, especially when the without those that will demand their presence at the fireside. And to others, too, for there are many who, after the home enjoyments, will go out to seek that "so different" touch to make their activities end in perfect days and nights. A REX BEACH STORY AT THE SUNSET THEATRE The fight in Rex Beach's story, "The Spoilers," one of the great moments in literature and on the screen, actually was fought. The dramatic, brutal moment was enacted in real life just as Beach wrote of it, and just as it again as being filmed in a motion picture. It was this fight that Rex Beach wrote of it, and that Beach wrote of it that Beach fought again when William Farnum and Tom Sarschl made the first motion picture version of the story for Selig, and again when Milton Sills and Noah Beery played in it for Goldwyn. It is being fought again, for the first time on the talking screen, by Gary Cooper and "William Boyd, New York stage star, in Paramount's new filming of the story, Sunday and Monday at the Sunset Theatre, 125th street, west of Eighth avenue. It was directed by Edwin Carew, who was also a double technical assistance by Harris. Sound and dialogue are called to accentuate the ferocity of the "battle," a hundredfold. For Tuesday and Wednesday the Sunset Theatre will show a Viaphone act, "The People Vs." with Pat O'Malley, in which he enacts the same sort of drama so much acclaim in "Abbl." "Golden Dawn" and "Dumbbells in Ermine." "SILVER HORDE" AT THE ODEON THEATRE From under the blaze of northern light rex Rex Beach's genius—inspired drama, to thrill and delight the audiences of the Odeon on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 25 and 28, with all the steel-fisted action of the original story. It tells of one woman in a land of men, of a woman who was tough and proud of it—till she met the man who could forgive everything—but other men. The big holiday program for these two days include "Late Go New Year" the sparkling comedy drama starring Oak Oak, Janetee MacDonald and Kay Francis. What has happened since big business methods were introduced into a big city's underworld is vividly pictured in "The Doorway to Hell," latest and most truthfully done drama of jackets that will be shown at the Douglas Theatre, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 27, 28 and 29. Lewis Ayres plays the cast of "Doorway to Hell," as the baby-faced killer and czar of the underworld. Dorothy Mathews plays the girl who couldn't play square and James Caney plays the gangster, whose names must not be mentioned, have prominent parts in the cast. DE LUXE PROGRAM AT THE RENAISSANCE A special de luxe holiday program has been arranged for the patrons of the Renaissance Theatre, the first being Wallace Beer in "The Big House" with Robert Montgomery, Lewis Stone and Lella Hyla, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. No motion picture will be shown as this thrilling, emotional drama, of prison life. As an accompanying feature, "Canyon Hawks," with Wally Wales, will be presented. Thursday and Friday a new serial, "The Lone Wolf" with Rin-Tin-Tin, will begin. Thereafter, an episode of this remarkable animal entertainer, will be seen at this theatre every Friday. That extraordinary production. "Whopee," with Eddie Cantor, begins on Saturday, Dec 27, and will continue for five days. You will not know what a good time is until you have seen "Whopee" with the kings and queens of good cheer in the merriest capers ever seen on the stage or screen. It is a dazzling, amazing technicolor specie with the famous Eddie Cantor at his best and the beautiful women, the pick of the Ziegfeld glorified collection. "Whopee" marks a triumph in popular entertainment. AT DUNBAR PALACE Manager C. T. Charity of the Dunbar Palace has arranged a special program for the holiday period beginning with a supper and breakfast dance tonight and ending with a New Year's Day soiree. Special preparations are being made for the annual costume and shadow dance dance this year, and thetras will furnish continuous music and the old year will be pleasingly ushered out and the new one brought in. Welcome Home M. LEUET. NOBLE SISSLE came to town on Monday night from Europe with his sensational band after making them sit up and take notice in the old world. Worth Her Weight in Gold OUT in Kansas City, Mo., mannies used to teach their children to "eat, drink and be merry" along with "laugh and grow fat." Orange juice was never heard of and dieting was a two-dollar word. And, amid this atmosphere of gafsey and easy living there grew a plump little person named Ada Brown, the same little girl who went to Chicago to laugh and who is now laughing more gayly than ever in "Brown Buddies." As Chicago was the first stop in the stage career of Miss Brown, it is only fair to stop there for a paragraph or two. The little girl had heard of Marty Forkins, "a big man in vaudeville," and to him she applied for a position. "What do you do?" inquired the genial Marty, as he gazed upon a youngster well on toward 200 pounds. "I laugh and I sing," replied Miss Brown. "I'm not good at dancing." Mary was too much of a gentleman to make any comic remark about her weight being a hindrance to dancing. Anyway, he was too busy looking at her broad smile, her white teeth and quivering body to say anything uncompline tary. Instead, he looked over his routing sheets and found her in engagement in a colored theatre in Chicago's south side. Ada thanked him. Two weeks later she was proving herself to be somewhat of a mild sensation at Bob Mott's Pelkin Theatre, on South Street. It wasn't long after that (1910) that Miss Brown was hovering on the fringe of the better and finer two-a-day vaudeville houses. She sang "blue" songs better than other cooled warblers; she was in demand everywhere. She toured the country and she went to Paris and Berlin—she was growing in popularity. She made good in a big way, but the pun isn't quite in order. Ada never depended upon her unusual avoirdupois to make good. Mr. Forkins, producer of "Brown Buddies," felt that the time had come to give his "find" a real chance on Broadway. He gathered his other colored actors under his wing—Bill Robinson, Adalene Hall, Alma Smith, John Pasony Dandridge—and a new colored musical was under way. For Miss Brown was written the number "When a Black Man's Blue." She was given an ensemble of boys who could sing with her—the show clicked. "My weight has been my gold," smiles Miss Brown. "I love to laugh and cannot keep thinking." She be slender all I have to say that putting on a few extra pounds has never hampered my style.

Noble Sissle, former member of the combination which produced the famous "Schuffle Along" and who had earlier made quite a reputation along with James Reese Europe, came in after a most successful career at the head of his band at the capitals of some of the largest cities in Europe. Sissle will start a big tour at Rockland Palace with his musicians on Wednesday night and will leave shortly after to fill dates in the important cities of the country. The last appearance of this entertainer was made quite some time ago when he appeared at a midnight benefit show at the Lafayette Theatre and was accorded a reception seldom tendered a performer even in Harlem. Billy Pierce, who went abroad to stage dancing numbers for one of the largest shows ever produced in England, also returned on Monday night. Pierce went over presumably for only a few weeks, but was so successful he was forced to spend many months. His work for the Cohan theatrical interests was of no outstanding nature and brought him many compliments from the British critics. And while these two wall known men of the world of the theatre were entering New York actors at the Pierce Mills' Theatrical Association were bidding J. Finley Wilson, exalted ruler of the Elks, bon voyage. Mr. Wilson sailed at midnight for the tropics and will be returning early in January. SUNSET 125' ST. W. OF & AVE.

SOCIETY CROOK BIG FEATURE AT DOUGLAS "The Pay-Off," which will be shown at the Douglas Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 27, 28 and 29, takes its place at the top of unsealed rocketeer films. Included in the cast are Marlon Nikon, William Jannay, George F. Marlon and Hugh Trevor. In contrast to the many thrills in "The Pay-Off" the program will also include one of the funniest talking pictures of the season—Half Shot at Sunrise," featuring Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. Richard Cromwell is swept into the limelight of popularity by his amazingly sensational performance in the drama-bombshell of the year, "Totkale David," which will be shown at the Douglas Theatre Thursday and Friday, Dec. 25 and 28. Included in the amazing cast are Noah Beery, Tully Marshall, Richard Cromwell, Joan Peers and Henry E. Walsh. ERNEST WHITMAN BACK AFTER B'WAY SUCCESS Ernest Whitman, who just recently closed a very long engagement with "The Last Mile," has returned to musical comedy and will be seen on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre next week as one of the principal members of the cast of "New Year's Revela." Whitman's work in "The Last Mile" was as a bill of dramatic acting as Broadway has ever seen. He took the part of a convicted murderer waiting to be sent to the death cell—unwilling in the meanwhile a cheerful inmate, feared by the keeper—and loved by his brother, whom he upon him to crouch in a melody in the hours of their blackest despair. Now Memb Now Members of 'Cercle de Paris' THE FIRST WORLD FESTIVAL OF THE BLACK TIE MESSRS. MARINO and Norris were signally honored in France recently when they were admitted to membership in one of the most exclusive organizations in all France. They have been meeting with great success for quite a long time in Europe. Negro Actors Win Special Honor Marino and Norris Elected Members of Famed "Cercle de Paris" Word comes from Paris that the celebrated team of Martino and Norris has been elected to membership in the most aristocratic circle of France, Comte de Lambertye and Baron de Salsigne having sponsored their election to the exclusive set, which is composed of many French aristocrats. It is indeed strange that "Tout La Monde," the Parisian journal that takes pride in exaggerating things about the Negroes in Europe, failed to mention this signal honor conferred upon Marino and Norris in any of its issues. These men are making a reputation in Europe that will live throughout the ages. Norris is none other than Norris Smith, who will be remembered from the Williams and Walker days. He is an American that has adopted England as his home, while Marino is the celebrated Cuban pianist, better known to us as Doris Colbert's husband. Martino, whose full name is Marino Barretta, is the son of Dr. Barretta, a prominent dentist in Barcelona, Spain. He is a graduate of Conservatory of Music in Germany and has appeared before royalty on many occasions. Norris Smith was at one time a member of the London Black Disc Quartet that toured the Continent for many years. He was also a member of the London Show Boat company, where he was the understudy of Paul Robeson and played the part of the conductor. The boys have played all of the leading theatres of England and Continental Europe, recorded for many of the leading phonograph companies and, under the direction of Sacha Gultry, the celebrated Prentice actor, have made many talks. They are at present playing an engagement at the Palats de Buxelles, after which they will tour Holland for two months and return to Paris. Acts appearing in Europe have enjoyed the uninterrupted engagements of which this distinguished team can boast. MANNING FEATURED AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK The New Year will be unhed in right at the LaFayette Theatre. The announcement of the management of next week's show and news from the director Charlie Davis and Sam Manning are hard at work rehearsing a cast of some forty-artists, shows that every effort is being made to make this show one of the best in the country. The revue will be appropriately called New Year's Revels. The joyous spirit of the new year will pervade the production—new comedy, new dances, new music, new choreography. Chief among these novelties is an eight-piece harmonica band which is certain to give all who to the LaFayette Theatre next week a surprise and excitement. Derder the direction of Boris Minnewich is the hit of the Broadway play, "Sweet and Low," and the producers of New Year's Revels feel that the band they have engaged will set all Harlem talkin'. The cast includes Ernest Whitman, Sam Manning, Five Hot Foot Stoppers, Anderson's Harmonica Marvels, the Melody Monarchs, Lucille Hegamin and Anderson's chorus of sixteen dancing girls. The Lafayette will also present next week (beginning Saturday, Dec. 27), the asking picture version of *David Belaus* and the *Girl* version of *David Belaus* in *West*. This gripping story of a girl who fell in love with a notorious bandit was a sensation as a stage play, a film, a musical, a picture, and is made doubly enjoyable by the splendid acting of Ann Harding. Negro Salesmen Work in Walthal's Radio Branch Although they are unseen by hundreds of Harlem customers who patronize the Walthal radio store at 143 West 125th street, two Negro salesmen are employed by the branch shop. They are Euston Sharpe, 533 Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, and Lincoln Whitworth, 275 West 145th street. These young men are assigned to canvass the Harlem section, but receive commissions on sales in the store if patrons ask for them. The branch salesmen who work inside are wielding Sharpe has been with the company for one year as a salesman. He worked in a similar capacity for the Rubel Coal and Ice Corporation. Whitworth has served Walthal for four months as a salesman. He worked four years for the company as service man. CHRISTMAS HAPPINESS MARINO AND NORRIS HONORED IN FRANCE Admitted as Members of Famed "Cercle de Paris" M. E. BILL VODERY, America's foremost arranger of color, arrived in New York recently from a most successful trip to California. The New York Amsterdam News SARATOGA CLUB REVUE WITH "SINNERS' HOLIDAY" The management of the Lafayette Theatre has added two comedians and a well-known singer to the Saratoga Club Revue, now at that house. Luis Russell's Band is, of course, one of the big attractions of the revue. Russell's Band is all there. Then there is Roy Altima. For fast, complicated dance routines, instantly, this boy is one of the best on the stage. Others who do splendid work in the revue are Celeste Cole, Tim Moore and Andrew Tribble (they are also the lead revue). Audrey Thomas, Kitty Albanche, the Three Brown Spots, William Brown and Dewey Brown. Bob Williams, producer of the revue, is also appearing at some of the performances on Broadway permits. The talking picture feature is also worthy of special mention. It is "Sinners' Holiday," a fascinating version of the 1930s Broadway for two solid years. "Sinners' Holiday" is the story of a girl who is faced with the horror of seeing either her brother or her sweetheart go to the electric chair; she able to escape. Sinners' Loretta will have their supreme thrill in "Sinners' Holiday." POPULAR SONG WRITERS AT THE ALHAMBRA Thomas "Fats" Walker and Alex Hill famous song writers, will appear in their own hits at the Albanbra next week, assisted by the puprates Margaret and Theodore McCormick. "Fats" Walker is famous as the writer of "Ain't Mishbehavin'", and Alex Hill's recent success is "You Were Only Passing Through". Eddie Lemons and "Stringbeads" Price will be the comedy team. Roland Holder will have the chief dancing homora. Alberty Magazine's famous characters, "Sandy and Lil", will come to life in a talkie of wild parties. "For the Love of Lil", in which Jack Mulhall, Elliot Ingent, Sally Stansen and Margaret Lemons, will show. Next week, besides the usual midnight show on Saturday, there will be an extra special midnight show on New Year's Eve. Reserved seats are not available, the usual prices for midnight show. BABY COX AND BILLIE ANDREWS AT ALHAMBRA It's "Baby's Birthday" at the Alhambra Theatre this week, the said "Baby" being the captivating "Hot Chocolates" star, Baby Bashir, a charming adventurer with big adventures this week with dalynt Marlene Hubbard. Dashing Viola McCoy, who is now on the crest of popularity as radio and popular singer with some radio hits, has big Troy Brown, familiarly called "Bear". Wille Jackson is always funny whether appearing with others or as an actress. Cornbread in his fashion-plate dancing act, win many conceres. The new Red Slipper Dancing Girls remind one of the Roxyettes, and their difficult formations are the rich chic contours and ingenious trick lighting effects. The sinu master of ceremonies presides over the array of contestants and the rich contours and ingenious trick lighting effects. Interrupted by Willie Iryant. Henry B. Walthall Helen Ferguson and George Duncan are the stars of the rich adventures in the land of romance and gold. "In Old Arizona." DETECTIVE DRAMA AT THE ROOSEVELT In conformity with its policy of presenting only the greatest programs (and presenting them exclusively) the Rosewood will show Ken Magrath's latest novel, "A Lady's Morale," "Fighting Through" is the title. HOW I came to be here tonight, Christmas Eve, is another of those strange stories which can only take part in a large event with the aim of creating a real life I find myself in a small theatre on New York's teeming East Side, sitting in the last row of the orchestra in which each seat already has an intimate touch to the skenes of finished Christmas trees with their candles are the only illumination in the place. The hour is midnight and the audience suddenly ceases the whispering which appears when I enter the place. A bell tolls. A tiny light from the pit trembles commandingly, ghostlike, and as it falls with a sweep soft, sweet music enters the pit, the audience joins in singing: Christmas time is here again Christmas pleasures bringing; Christ the Lord is born tonight; Earth and heaven rejoicing. Lights go on at the illumination. Lights the stage a number of actors dressed with red coats, white trousers, booted, riding caps, with mugs uplifted with one exclamation: God bless you, merrie gentlemen, to your health on this wondrous day. The stage is enacted, and as the final curtain fall instead of that burst of applause which would greet the end of a fine play in any other theatre in the city, the women are dabbling at their eyes with their lace handkerchiefs, or more than with set faces as they slowly wend their way to the ales. Upon gashing the lobby the same actors that opened the show, about twenty in number, are softly singing Christmas carols and the people are greeting each other with compliments. The unusual atmosphere in which your commentator ever found himself. And here the story starts. Earlier in the evening I had stood gazing at a brightly lighted tree on Park avenue, when an expensive limousine drew up to the arbor, and reclining on the expensive cushions, had signalled the chauffeur to stop. Beckoning me to the door he invited me in, and while the proceedings seemed so strange there was a kindliness in the gentleman's face which dissipated in the light of the warmth with which we in the world of the newspaper are ever on the lookout. "No matter, my friend," said the man who appeared to be fully supplied with the blessings of earth, Christmas. Eve rolls around I think of Scrooge and decided to join my friends from the old world at their annual Christmas play." "Scrooge, who is Scrooge? and what play have you reference to inquiring whether I was the car owner into Central Park through Seventy-second street. "One of the crabblest characters that Dickens ever created, my friend, a person so devoid of the inner sensibilities of life he rejects the thought of men at this season of the year. I am an old bachelor and every Christmas Eve I leave home at this hour and the first man that strikes my fancy I ask to join me at the play which the people, or quite a number, make it their business to witness each year, because it brings back memories of their childhood in the old home. It is a beautiful night, and after a round through the park the chaucer arrives to pick up a few minutes before twelve. Good old Norton, he has been with me for many years. We went to the same school in the old home, shared our joys and sorrows, but Dame Fortune seemed to favor the hardships of life. For years he sailed the seas, and loved it too, but a touch of sickness which left him without the energy necessary to continue before the mast brought him to me. Married his childhood sweetheart many years and then them they take good care of me. "And you, str," we asked, "not married to your childhood sweetheart?" "A bachelor, as I said before, he once supposed we leave it until some other time and call it New Year Greetings?" My strange acquaintance laughed softly, and I detected a touch of surprise in my voice, a stroke which he should be the laugh. We arrived at the theatre and I thought it strange that none of the people seemed to know him. Stranger, too that my presence on him, I did not need to cause any comment or even a stare from the many people between whom we became sandwiched as we entered the playhouse. He must have surprised me, for I did not mind, for he said, as we took our seats: "All these people came from the little town where I was born. I know the majority of them but they do not know me under a cloud. I swear I was not guilty. I have returned often, but always it was the same. They did not know me; in fact, could not let them know me and—but I tell you about some other time "I have been very successful. However, I find great solace in coming here once a year. Ah-h the curtain." When we left the theatre we again entered the third clock in the morning when we pulled up to a beautiful mansion on a side street between Park and Madison avenues in the Seventies. The place was ablaze with lights and accepting his invitation to enter, he took his hand on the knob by a woman who, though showing signs of approaching fifty, was good to look upon. "Elise, my dear, tell Norton that my friend will share with us the pleasures of the night," he said to me. "That is Norton's childhood sweetheart, his wife. Come with me." We entered a beautiful room hung with expensive drapes and pictures. Norton brought drinks, cigars and a bottle of wine. He came in. Elsie came in. After serving us the chauffeur took a seat a little way from us and just as we reclined on a soft divan the same actor whose lines had started the show parted the chair and sat on the floor and there sat the same actors dressed just as they were at the theatre. "Ged bless you, merriem gentleman," he said, "to your health on this floor." Christmas, Greatest Time In History, Says Pastor pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church, in Brooklyn, in telling what a great event is Christmas, said recently: "Great events cast their shadows before them. We are now approaching the greatest event of history, the anniversary of the birth of our Lord. In the light of this great event three things of supreme significance stand out." "The first is sweeter childhood. As we approach the Christmas season our thoughts turn to the memory of our childhood, when all life seemed one grand dream. We also turn to the childhood about us and compare it with our own. No matter how good ours was, we want that of others to be better. This is because we are in the atmosphere of the sweetest' babe ever born. Our celebration of the day will be incomplete if we do not do something at this season to make some child happier. The less deprived that child is of the good things of life, the better it will be for him." "Another is purer womanhood. One of the marvels of the world is Mary, the mountain girl of sixteen who became the mother of the best man that ever lived. At this season every man, woman and child should study afresh the life of the Holy Mother. In the creation of humanity, God made man, then woman, then mother, improving as he went up the scale. Motherhood is next to godhood. One of the best ways we can celebrate this season is to honor the woman who gave us birth. Another way we can do it is by standing for the historic type of marriage, eternal loyalty of one man to one woman in bonds of wedlock, based on faith and the power of the cross." "The other thing of supreme value at this time is nobler manhood. As time goes forward, we shall get a nobler view of Joseph, who in a perplexing time stood by and showed himself a man of faith, patience and courage. Without the protection of manhood, childhood and motherhood, we would have no shield. What we need today is better manhood for the sake of womanhood and childhood. The so-called companionate marriage is the invention of man, which throws the heavier burden on the weaker partner. The word husband means house-band, that which holds the house together. Let us celebrate this season by being better men, looking forward to the strengthening of the home." which he held aloft he bent low, bowing all around. At a signal from him the actors sent up their voices in song and never before have I heard such beautiful Christmas carol, the occasional Christmas approach in the actors concluded their singing. Then came the thunderous notes from an organ which seemed to have outlets for sound all over house. Christmas carol filled the air the moment I stepped in and around my unknown friend I noticed that he sat with his head bowed in his hands. As the music became softer Norton rose and came to me. The man later directed him and well without disturbing the master" I followed the chauffeur to the door, before which stood the car. He stepped in and I took a seat beside him. Directing him of my residence, I started to think of the events of the night when I heard Norton's voice, speaking to me in soft and almost JAZZ Taught in 20 Lessons on Piano, Violin, Trom Banjo, Mandolin, Duplec Saxophone, Cornet, Trom bone, Clarinet and Drums.

It is indeed an agreeable surprise when some musician, of whom the general public has heard little or nothing, comes before the music world with material which shows that the art has been conscientiously dealt with and well applied. Such was the realization Sunay afternoon at Grace Congregational Church, where the Violet String Ensemble was presented, with Louetta Chatman, soprano, as guest artist, under the management of Nana B. Lewis. Alfred Violet, instructor, has given to these pupils a musical foundation which reflects much credit to him as a teacher. His pupils have appeared a few times before, but quite without publicity. On this occasion, however, the group was under management. The ensemble of four violinists, of whom not one was hardy at the age of 15 years, and a pianist played an admirable fashion. They seemed to have thoroughly understood the interpretations given; they were alert and concerted in phrasing, attacks and releases. The compositions played by the ensemble were "March Triomphale," opus 21, by Levy; "Gavot" by Severn; "Nocturne Andante Dellcato" and "Andante" by Eichenberg. Each of the three boys in the violin ensemble played a solo violinist, Vernon Harden, solo violinist, played "Alt Varie No. 6"; Henry Letang, first violinist, played Concerto No. 9 in A minor, opus 104, and Harcourt McClean, second violinist, played "Scene de ballet," opus 100. Each solist exhibited such talent and remarkable technical facility that to attempt to judge the best performance would be rather difficult. An encerobe, a soloist who played solo. The fourth violinist was Sylvia Enfister. Fel Letang was the pianist. Miss Chatman's singing was quite enjoyable to the large audience, especially when her songs ended on high notes. It seems that she has made a speciality of using her voice to the limit of its height. This was obvious in an encore when she sang one part of Burleigh's "Wade in Water" and also sang another. Here it is also noted that a richer tone quality was brought out in the mezzo range. She showed considerable flexibility in her songs, most of which were coloratura in character. "Rain," by Curran; "Memories Fond and True," by Liders; "Ombre Legere," by Meyerbeer, and "The Holy City," by Adams, comprised Miss Chatman's program. She was ably accompanied at the piano by Margaret Hunter. In intermission the pastor, the Rev. A. C. Garner, complimented the recitalists on their splendid talent, also Miss Lewis for her splendid management. Are Musical If by chance you have heard strains of "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot" while you were waiting for a train in the Grand Central or the Pennsylvania Terminal, you wondered where the music came from. Here's the solution to the puzzle: At Grand Central, if you heard an orchestra, then you were listening to a group of some thirty earnest Red Caps organized by Leslie Davis, war veteran and band leader.

Mr. Wooding needs no introduction for it is he who wrote the orchestra's music. His choral arrangement of the "St. Louis Blues" received notable comments. Herbert Johnson, the business manager of the orchestra, discusses terms only in accordance with the Musicians' Union, of which it is a member. If, at this same terminal, you heard a quartet, then you listened to four men who do double duty—sing and play in the orchestra. They are Eric Adams, Percy Robinson, brother of William Robinson, Robert Wilson and William Robinson. Robert Cloud, a composer of merit and a member of the orchestra, tunes the quartet. The president of the Red Cap Orchestra and Quartet is Chief James H. Williams, who is the father of Lieut. Wesley Williams, of Engine Company No. 55 of the New York Fire Department. Chief Williams, before coming to Grand Central, was with Thorley, the flower merchant, for twenty-five years. At the Pennsylvania Terminal, you might have heard a quartet. Charles A. Hunt, of the University of Fe and the other three—Rufus Beavers, B. Ransaw, and L. Patrick—studied music for two years at Selma University, Ala., and for some six years they sang together in a church choir there. After broadcasting regularly for three years in Birmingham over Station WBURC, they toured from Richmond to Cleveland, spending eight months in the intervening eight months in schools, clubs and entertainment to make nature. In Cleveland they went on the air over Station WJAY. These men, who are now Red Caps, deserve unstinted praise for remaining musicians. The canned music of the present day sound pictures has been a major employment, so these men have to seek other means of livelihood. The music programs arranged for Christmas Day and Sunday, to be given by the choir of the Church of the Crucifixion, should attract large gatherings of music lovers. The choir is directed by Edward Margeson, who is also organist of the church. Carols will feature the 5:30 o'clock service tomorrow morning. A small orchestra of music students in the Sunday School of the church will accompany the numbers. The choir will sing James Mass in F. At the 11 o'clock worship Sunday morning, Schubert's "Te Deum" in B Flat will be sung, also the chorus, for Orcheus a Child Is Born," from Hector Meyer. There will be a miscellaneous program, including the solos, "Confert Ye" and "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted"; the choruses, "And the Glory of the Lord" and the "Hallelujah" from the Messiah, at 7:30 Sunday evening. Other items to be presented are the choruses "Awake, Put on Thy Strength," by Stainer, and "A Christmas Roundelay," by Edward Margenton; the solos, "Jesu Bambino," by Yon, and "Angels from the Realms," by Margenton. The church is located at 49 West 140th street, and the Rev. J. Edmead is priest. The Christmas "Roundelay" is to be sung at 11 o'clock tomorrow at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church.

The program was given in the library of the West 135th street, with Miss Ernestine Rose, head librarian of the branch, in charge. Miss Wendolyn Bennett, poet, began the program with a group of her recent poems, including "Freedom," "Thin Laughter," "Clarissa," "Quillesce" and "Advice." At the request of the program, Ms. Ernestine their favorite poems, by her, which have been published in magazines. This latter group including "Longing," "Hatred" and "To a Dark Girl." Miss Elizabeth Sinkford, soprano, sang three songs—Griffe's "By a Song of Pathway," The Shepherd's "Call All Johnson's 'City Called Heaven.'" "Joseph and Mary," a translation from the French by Mrs. Jessie Faule Sethris, was the first poem in a group read by this novelist, poet and French teacher in the city Public School system. Mrs. Harris followed this appropriate Christmas poem with five others she wrote during a summer spent in Alabama. The theme "Fairy Tale of Sickness," "Prayer in American Negro Boy," "Divine Inspiration" and "Stars in Alabama." Mrs. Doris Trottman Earle, soprano soloist at the St. James' Presbyterian Church, sang two songs, accompanied at the piano by Miss Sinkford. The artists' model, Maurice Hunter, who was prepared to give some of his character studies, was unable to do so because the stage lights failed to work properly. So, Mr. Hunter taught the audience the materials with which he himself so they could be examined. He explained their importance as rare imported textiles. Dr. Rudolph Fisher, author and x-day specialist, ended the program with a reading of a short story of his called "Miss Cynthia", which was heartily applauded by the audition committee. Dr. Fisher said the story has been accepted for publication by a well-known magazine. thems under Director E.

According to recent foreign news, the unemployed professional musicians of Munich have formed an unemployment committee and an orchestral association for the furthering of national art. Three diversified orchestras have been formed—a piano ensemble, a string orchestra and a wind band. No player is permitted to hold more than one position. This is said to be the first time a board of workers has formed such an association.

Literati, Artists Heard at Library 一 一 —Edmund Burke. The New York Amsterdam News RadioNews and Programs By RICHARD L. BALTIMORE- New Device When radio sets are introduced featuring new gadgets, contrivances or contraptions that improve their efficiency, there always will be a need to find a field wielding the improvement to old sets in an effort to modernize them. For example, when the all-electric sets appeared, "A" and "B" eliminators were designed to electrify battery operated circuits, but alternating current circuits, a damper, an amplifier, and associated devices so that the all-electric tube could be used with current taken from the lighting circuit instead of from batteries. This year a tone control on the new model enables the listeners a regular volume of voicing placed ear. The old sets did not have this feature. However, last week a device called Radart was introduced so that owners of old receivers can modernize the operator by tone control, giving the operator full range of tone from bass to treble. The attachment to the set consists of a small box with a knob on the front. The box can be placed inside the set. The adapter leads from the back of it. Two wafers like adapters at the ends of the wires fit under the power tubes. That is all there is to the installation. Holes are provided by the adapters so that the prongs can enter. There are two styles in these tone control units. One is for all sets using two No. 117 tubes or two No. 245 tubes in push-pull arrangement. The device is mounted on the adapter and the adapters. On other sets not equipped with push-pull amplifiers, but having only one No. 117 or one No. 246 tube in the output stage, another model control adapter is used, which has only one adapter and that connects to the ground of the set. Approves Synchronization The Federal Radio Commission's approval last Tuesday of the plan evolved by the National Broadcasting Company, the Hartford, and WBAL, Baltimore, for the first time. The same wave length, was the signal to begin immediate construction of the necessary apparatus, according to C. W. Horn, general engineer for NBC. According to the terms of the petition, the apparatus will synchronize on alternate days with one of NBC's key stations in New York. WTIC will be linked with WEAF, and WBAL will co-ordinate its transmitter with WJZ. This means, in layman's terms, that when operating in synchronism, will utilize a single broadcast channel. The great American radio public has developed into a vast army of program critics, if the audience mall received by the broadcasting Company can be accepted, the broadcasting Company can be accepted, if letters are received yearly from listeners who more and more determine the type and quality of programs to be broadcast. The great mall received by NBC's New York audience mall department has increased nearly 100 per cent during 1920. A survey reveals that there has developed a strong demand for the shows and special events and drama, particularly the jazz, Jazz, in general, either is losing favor or the jazz fans do not write to the broadcasters. The listeners seem inclined to populate dance music and jazz. They call symphonies jazz, which is approved the form of music produced by B. A. Rofle, Vincent Lopez and the Ipanas Troubadours.

Near 125th St. Cathedral 7680 Ringworm of the Feet (Continued From Last Week.) IN LAST week's article you were told how the ringworm had a splendid opportunity to develop and multiply on the feet of the soldiers, due to the unhygienic conditions found in the trenches, etc. So, now it is easy to understand that, when the war was over and the soldiers were sent home to their families and friends, they naturally brought along with them any disease germs and other microorganisms that their bodies harbored. Epidermophytosis, or ringworm of the feet, being a contagious and infectious disease, spread easily from the soldiers to their families by means of the bath towels and mats. From the members of their families they were carried to the golf clubs, locker rooms, swimming pools and to the beaches and were easily picked up by this manner at least 40 per cent in this nation population of the nation has become infected with this tinea. At present no one seems to be immune. The lesions of this disease are quite varied in their appearance. When occurring between the toes the skin becomes blanched and macerated due to mild perspiration and moisture present. On top and around the toes small papules or brown pimples appear. When the soles of the feet are affected, vesicles or blisters appear filled with serum, which rupture and dry, leaving brownish scales, or grouped and appear singular or grouped and appear prevalent on the hollow of the instep. Warm, moist weather favors the growth of ringworms, which accounts for their prevalence in summer. During winter the ringworm penetrates deeply into the epidermis and undergoes periods of dormancy and growth alternately, differing in this respect from eczema. When the attacks recur, the lesions are found in the same place they occupied formerly. (To Be Continued.)

Other troops planning parties for themselves are Nos. 142 and P. S. 119 and 190 at Union Baptist Church. Troop 123 at Mother Zion is preparing a party for some needy children. Toys and dolls made by the members of the troop will be presented to the children. Troop 99 at St. Jude's had a Five-cent Novelty party on Monday. Troop 91 had an exceptionally successful bazaar on last Monday. Most of the articles sold were made by members of the troop. They will give Christmas stockings, clothing and food to a family. Troop 155 at St. Philip's is preparing a Christmas treat for a family. The new troop at Metropolitan M. E. Church has many new members and will register in January. Mrs. Embre Moore is captain. A Christmas pageant was given Sunday afternoon by girls from various departments in the 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. Misses Rosalind Lawson and Willie Branch of the Girl Reserve Department directed the pageant. The Beaux-Arts Club had a Christmas party on Thursday. All the Christmas greens were up; bright lights twinkled on the tail and stately Christmas tree in the lobby and the young folk were out in full force. Miss Geraldine Randall, best known for her branch as 'Jerry', presided at the plaza and identified by their sprigs of holly, saw that everybody had a good time. Instead of exchanging gifts among themselves as usual, the members brought gifts of clothing and food for the unemployed and one of the offices fairly overflowed with bundles. In addition, these girls and the in-charge committee members made a contribution to the kindergarteners of Publie School 18, who are under the instruction of Mrs. Washington of the industrial committee.

UNDERWEIGHT is a con dren, and especially those deal to the physicians and bringing this fact to the attentio if there is any other physical de of these health workers more co UNDERWEIGHT is a condition very common among children, and especially those of school age. We owe a great deal to the physicians and nurses in the school system for bringing this fact to the attention of parents. I doubt very much if there is any other physical defect which engages the attention of these health workers more constantly than underweight. In the majority of cases, a close check will show one or more faults in the daily routine of these children. The opportunity to remedy these irregularities seldom comes as a direct request from parents. While many parents realize that John or Mary never seems to have an appetite and looks like a scarecrow, they never think it is a doctor, even to consult the doctor, until sickness occurs, or the school sends a form to be signed by the doctor. removed after many months of poor health. It is unreasonable to expect a youngster to eat a hearty meal when he has been eating candy and crackers and what not throughout the day. This makes not only for a poor appetite, but improper digestion. A healthy body goes a long way in the development of a sound mind, and two together affect materially the future of the duty of every parent to do everything possible to bring about this Some of the reasons for so many underweight children are overinflammation in cheap candy, eating between meals, irregularity of meals, inability or indifference of parents to provide wholesome food or a well balanced diet, insufficient rest, too tired to bed, constipation from being too busy to attend daily habits, and infected teeth and tonsils. Associated with underweight is anemia and the susceptibility to colds and the other diseases incident to childhood. In a great many cases it is only necessary to correct some of the irregularities in the management of these children to see immediate improvement. A rest period in bed for an hour or two is to be recommended for the child who shows signs of nervousness or overactivity. Too many paraparesis or overcognition in recognizing necessity for the remission of teeth and tonsils. There is abundant evidence to show the remarkable improvement in a child whose infected tonsils and adenoids have been Dental Talks By Roy C. Proets: D. D. S. (Continued from last week.) WE were discussing last week the WE were discussing last week the experiment tried in the Marion School in Cleveland, Ohio, which was performed in an effort to determine whether there was any relation between teeth, morals and brains. The dental examination of the 846 pupils revealed that only three had a perfect set of teeth—the first a Slav girl, the second a Russian girl, and the third a Negro boy. Every other boy and girl in the school had cavities or other evidences of decay, or else had lost one or more of the permanent teeth. Forty of the worst cases were selected from the grades between the fourth and eighth, since they could better and more intelligently co-operate with the experiment. The test was prove—if it was susceptible of healthy mouth conditions and their effect in maintaining a high order of physical and mental development. All varieties of children were represented in this class, among them being some of good mentality and others of the poorest. A mental defective was also included. Three of the children were tractable; three, incorrigible; three, truants; several, obstreous and mischievous; two, on the verge of being transferred to a reformatory. The experiment was explained to the children, who agreed to follow the instructions carefully.

The Hospital Fund's proposal was rejected two weeks ago by the Manhattan Medical Society. The survey would be made under the auspices of the Hospital Fund by workers donated by the Julius Rosenwald Fund of Chicago. A resolution adopted by the North Harlem Medical Society states: "That the North Harlem Society goes on record not only as endorsing but inviting the survey; and that the Society places at the hands of the Investigating Bureau and the information and resources available to aid in carrying out such survey." Elected to serve with Dr. Randolph are Leroy Pelham, vice-president, S. A. Sidai-Singh, secretary, and J. J. Poon, member. Members of the new executive committee are Dr. Marshall Murray, C. A. Petelon, and F. T. Reid. Dr. Jones was the only officer re-elected. The others declined second nominations for office. WILL RECEIVE $700,000 HUBERT BEQUESTS SOON Howard University, Washington and the Provident Hospital of Chicago will receive in a short time bequests of $200,000 and $500,000, respectively, from the estate of the late Conrad Hubert, white philanthropist and inventor of the pocket flashlight. The announcement of the additional gifts of the $800,000 gifts of Mr. Hubert to charitable, religious, social and educational institutions was made Friday. Mr. Hubert, who died in Cannes, France, on February 14, provided in his will that a committee of prominent citizens be appointed to apportion three-fourths of his estate. This committee, composed of Calvin Coolidge, Alfred E. Smith, and Julius Rosenwald, made their selections some time ago, but the funds were not made available until Friday when the first accounting of the estate was approved by Surrogate Foley.

Black Men Have Sold for 50 Years but Own No Shops A business with an income at its heels Furnishings always oil for its own wheels. —Cowper. Those of his race who labor, live and die in fields where one expects to find only the white man, who are they, and what does the Negro know of them? What part does the Negro play in creating markets for the furnishings of the home of the wealthy, and how does race figure in the ancient profession of auctioneering? Few people—even those who engage in the trade—realize how large a proportion of the furniture, rugs, baskets a brac and whatnot finds its way into the homes homes after serving first in the homes of those who are perhaps more wealthy, and often less unfortunate. There are numerous stores along the highways of Harlem that cater to people who do not insist that their home furnishings should be new. Practically all these shops are manned by salesmen who know from experience the psychology of their clientele. Among these stores are, of course, many that find the auction block the best mode of disposing of goods. Their owners know the thrill their patrons receive when they bark out an offer and march home with the owner, and another bidder had set his heart upon. No Negro Stores in Harlem Although many of New York's most successful auctioneers can trace their beginnings to Harlem, the Negro city has given black men no real part in the business. The Negro has found his opportunity to serve in white sections. Prominent among the auction firms is the name of Benjamin S. Wise and Company, 421 Oyster avenue. Wise a white man, launched his business career with a piano store at 19 East 125th street. Veteran Started in 1905. Beginning in 1905, John Adams, who lives in Forest Hills, was employed by Wise in the piano store, and Adams is still an active salesman for the company on Columbus avenue, where the auction firm has held forth for eighteen years. The employment of Mr. Adams was not accidental, for there are two other Negro salesmen working for this company: William Thompson, 207 West 140th street, and Henry Rivers, 44 West Ninety-eighth street. Coming to the firm in 1917, Mr. Thompson was joined two years later by Mr. Rivers. Employ Negro Salesmen. The Eugene Freund Galleries, 42 West Forty-eighth street, in addition to the salesmen for Negroes for tendances during the war, also have two men who are regularly employed as salesmen in the establishment. Clarence S. Nelson, 1854 Seventh avenue, and E. P. Elmore, 31 Greenwich avenue, have worked in the galleries for the past five years. Those acquainted with the business of auctioning household furnishings know that it is a many-sided business, calling for versatility. A reason for a part of the success of the men named is their ability to Times' Corresponde May Lose Giga West Indian Sugar F Support of More Th Been Closed Dow The question as to whether group will ever regain its place special correspondence from St. The sugar industries in St. Cros the West Indian Sugar Factory This factory, the correspondent states, "was the main support of St. Croix, more than 3,000 people being dependent on its payroll. Owing to the protracted drought which developed prospect of a paying crop, coupled with severe financial losses, the management was forced to shut down. "Governor Evans, Herbert D. Brown of the bureau of efficiency and two directors of the Landsman Bank of Copenhagen, Denmark, have been in conference for several weeks. A plan was suggested to obtain $23,000 from the immigration fund of the municipality of St. Croix and add to that $37,000 of the $141,000 brought by Mr. Brown for agricultural development, making a total of $60,000, which is considered sufficient for the operation of the West Indian plantation to January 1. Hope for Aid From Congress. "This plan failed, however, and nothing further has been done. It is possible that Mr. Brown will attempt to obtain from Congress an appropriation for the equipment and manufacturing the case. If this falls, there is a possibility that the THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1930 BENJAMIN WISE, the chief of the auction firm, is shown on his high perch listing a few whatnots, while William Thompson points out the selling features of a vase.

In addition to duties of salesmen, there are such fine points as the artistic arrangement of goods in the stores, making attractive the merchandise to be sold at auction in private homes, hotels, clubs and furniture stores, and handling the audiences at sales so that a congenial atmosphere will prompt spontaneous reception to the offerings. They are also usually engaged in the cataloging of the goods to be offered, each attendant during a sale being assigned certain articles included in the catalogue to be insulated from the humour by him to the buyers. The position requires a good memory, for where there are numerous small articles like bric-a-brac he must see that all unsold pieces are returned to their shelves. Assisted at Lewaro. In all of these attributes, according to the management of the Wise firm, their trio of Negro salesmen have made good. As a case in point, they call attention to the recent sale they conducted at the Villa Lewaro, the estate of the Jate Mme. C. J. Walker at Irvington-on-the-Hudson. During the sale all of the employees of the firm went up the Hudson, including two of the Negro salesmen, leaving Mr. Thompson alone in charge of the store to conduct the sales there. The sale at the Villa Lewaro is the only auction sale this company has so far conducted in a Negro home, but it has furnished the homes of numerous prominent people in Harlem who could afford to purchase the better grades of merchandise. Many well-known Harlemites trade in this establishment, perhaps attracted there largely by the presence ENT Says St. Croix Antic Sugar Industry Factory, Formerly Main lan 3,000 People, Has own Since August St. Croix in the Virgin Islands e in the sugar world is raised in Thomas to the New York Times. ix collapsed last August r, when ceased operation. 1,300 acres, sugar mills, cattle and other property may be disposed of at bankruptcy sale. "During the Danish regime sugar exported from St. Croix paid a 6 per cent ad valorem export duty, plus $25 a ton import duty at the Port of New York. As a result of the ceding of the islands by Denmark to the United States, the act of Congress of March 3, 1917, known as the organic act of the Virgin Islands, exempted sugar shipped from the islands from all duty and, in lieu thereof, imposed a tax of $5 a ton, which was paid into the treasury of these islands. The manufacturers objected to this tax, claiming, among other things, that it had proved detrimental to the sugar industry. The matter was eventually presented to Congress and in 1927 this tax was reduced to $6 a short ton, the revenue amounting to more than $40,000 annually. However, with the possibility of industry passivation on the island, the local government is seeking means to replace this deficit. "Govorner Evans has ordered rids of the three courteous salesmen the company employs from their own group. The list of Harlem customers contains the names of many business and professional folk who are among the community and in nearby Jersey towns. Beran Thirty Years Ago. Mr. Adams began his career over thirty years ago by working for various salesmen-at-auction. Both he and Mr. Thompson had experience as home decorators before entering their present field, the former coming here from Virginia, while the latter is a native New Yorker. The two men, as well as their employers, a South Carolinian by birth, was a hotel employee before he became attracted to auctioneering. All three are married and have families. It is often the case that the larger sales require the presence of additional employees to take care of details. In such instances both this and other companies plying this trade call on Negro workers who make themselves available for extra work, some of which carries them to distant cities where sales have been arranged. The salesmen, in turn, sale six additional men were taken up the Hudson with the regular employees. Half Century on Job. John Matthews, 125 West 138th street, who was born in Boston seventy-two years ago, and who began a career as auction salesman here in 1880, is usually the man called upon to supply the attendants required for these big sales. Mr. Matthews has taken part in practically every important sale of homes, hotels and clubs in the city for a half century, and has been commissioned to go elsewhere for sales at frequent intervals. economy in all governmental activities. Whether or not Congress will be willing to give more than the $300,000 given annually for the support of these outlying possessions is doubtful. In the interim the American Red Cross has been doing and is still doing its share and is feeding 3,000 persons daily on an average of 6 cents a day each. "The people who receive this pitifully small raion," the newspapers say, "are naturally half-starved and their children are undernourished. Those who were not engaged as agricultural laborers but are nevertheless affected by this situation are also suffering." "Small parcels of land have been temporarily loaned to the government, which in turn have been given to the laborers to cultivate truck farms. These men receive, at the completion of their work, a card entitling them to obtain a limited quantity of provisions from local stores. This method of distributing rations is similar to that instituted by the local government two years ago when a hurricane destroyed a great portion of St. Croix, leeing hundreds homeless and at the same time taking its toll of life. Assign Police College Grad to 32d Precinct William H. Austin. 173-24 108th avenue, Jamala, L. I., was one of the 425 probationary patrolmen to be graduated from the School of Recruits of the Police College on Monday evening. The exercises were held at Madison Square Garden, with Secretary of War Hurley, Mayor Walker and Commissioner Mulrooney as the principal speakers. Austin, who has been assigned to the Thirty-second Prectinct, was the only Negro member of the class. He has had charge of as many as eighteen men in a single sale. His record covers more than 200 major auctions. At Many Famous Sales. Among the hotels have been the Waldorf-Astoria, which formerly occupied the site on which the Empire State building is now standing at Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue; the Knickerbocker at Forty-second street and Broadway, the old Plaza at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, the Renaissance at Forty-third street and Fifth avenue, the Lorraine at Forty-fifth street and Fifth avenue, the old Metropolitan at Broadway and Prince Street, the Cadillac in Detroit, the Iroquois in Buffalo, the Kensington in Saratoga Springs, and the Lakewood in Lakewood, N. J. Mr. Matthews was also called upon to attend in the Tewksbury home sale at 29 West Seventy-second street, the Countess Stave home on West Seventy-first street, the residence of the late Senator Clarke at Seventy-seventh street and Fifth avenue, and Georgian Court, the estate of George Gould in Lakewood, N. J. These are but a few of the hundreds he and his men have handled. In the Tewksbury sale all eighteen of the Negro attendants were dressed in tuxedo suits as they moved to and fro among would-be patrons. There have also been sales for furniture companies, and Delmonico's, while they worked at Twenty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, the old Union Club at Twenty-sexth street and Fifth avenue, and the Fulton Club on Fulton. a street.

Dictograph records reveal that he planned to divide $7,000 a week with Chief of Detectives Trainor, and Mosher, the mayor's secretary, it is claimed. He told them they had lost a half million dollars already this year by not collecting from bawdy houses, bootleggers and gamblers. Brown and two colored officers, Kelso and Scott, are under indictment.

Hughes, director of the Bureau of Negro Work of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and chairman of the Negro Group at the Home Missions Congress in Washington, December 1-5, a resolution on Negro hospitalization was adopted, protesting against the discrimination in denominational hospitals, and declaring that where state law requires no separation of the races, no discrimination where the law requires the separation of the races it shall be the special concern of hospital boards that the sections of the hospital set aside for Negro use shall be equal in every respect to those for members of the white race, the report states. And yet, in spite of the wealth of experience so many of them have accumulated in this type of business, we have yet to see a pioneer Negro auditor in the New York itself success in the New York salesman as an independent salesman.

While speaking of Ravenel note here that they are truly can be said of them for, whi splendid manner to have the upon him, the other carried that made this writer feel he of such Jimmie Ravenel. AT THIS season of the year the athletes of but yesterday go into a huddle and indulge in a fanning and panning bee that discloses their sadness at the passing of "the good old days." And to their own doors can be held the causes for those regrets which so many voice at this time. Seldom do we hear the names of those valiant men who saw in the dim distance just what would be when the grim monster, commercialism, reared its head in the ranks of amateurism and created a devastation from which we have never recovered. In regretting we would do well to say a word of praise to such men as Jimmie Ravenel, Charlie Bradford, Gene Williams, the Reverend Everard Daniels, Gerald Norman and those others who fought so hard to keep within the clubs that spirit of amateurism which had sent them to the very top. While speaking of Ravenel and Charlie Bradford it is well to note here that they are truly deserving of everything good that can be said of them for, while one played the game in such a splendid manner to have the title of "Gentleman Charles" hung upon him, the other carried on with that unquestioned honesty that the other he could not be without the friendship of such as Jimmie Ravenel. They Seek No Praise For What They Do MANY of us believe that we mas comes and we see present which it took us a Not with Gentleman.

To such as the Peace on earth, good-will to n In the Good MANY of us believe that we have done our share when Christmas comes and we send the usual card or proffer some present which it took us a year to remember should be given. Not so with 'Gentleman Charles' Bradford and Jimmie Ravenell. They are the very exemplification of that true spirit of Christianity which only those of us knowing them well can appreciate. Gene Williams, well known as an athlete and a graduate of the St. Christopher Club of St. Philips' Parish some years ago. With the changing times he established himself in his line of work dentistry, at Jamaica, N. Y., and was doing nicely when Fate struck him a blow from which it is doubtful he will ever recover. Sickened and tired of his practice, he time his practice came upon him, and while he bravely carried on for a time, it was evident that he would have to give up. It is going on three years now since energetic, genial Gene withdrew from his office. The fickle multitude that cheered the teams because of the work of such as he has forgotten him, and ever since he so with him in the past have forgiven him. Now with Charlie Bradford and Jimmie Ravenell quietly they have been leaving the city at least once a week to repair to the home of Gene Williams. They have done what they could for their old side partner and every fair day on which they arrived in Jamaica they take Gene for long drive, so that they can travel to the city in when he, too, sat at the wheel and glided over the beautiful roads. One's heart is bound to jump with apprehension when a thought intrudes that life is really empty without such friends. These few words are written without the knowledge of the men mentioned, and it would be without their consent if they knew it, for they are blessed with that modesty which only men of high character and noble life know, and they seek no praise or applause for what they do. To such they it is fitting to say at this time: Peace on earth, good-will to men. In the Good Old Days Again WHEN W. Rollo Wilson came the ambassador extraordinaire to see that no mines of the Pacific were in the way. While Rollo was a good fellow that he had his training at the unrelenting in his claims for a meet on common ground with of the excellence of the game. At times when we gibe the columbian himself just why one of the harpion him from time to the back he does so like a veteran booster up his part of the arguall which seem to be the on the gaff. But even through it all, we place in line, he never hesit ship and indicate that, alterer "All for one and one for all," comes necessary, and a good impulse. Those were indeed the good phlan came to these shores, battles from time to time I am that the times have changed, longest stretch of the imagin the sociology to exchange banter and talk my dear Alvin Moses, are days bring back so that we can all notes, find those things in common to the face of all obstacles? Ahmen; the top o' the mawning of Christmas and an even happier of the West, too. Gold old Member the boys at Christmas. WHEN W. Rollo Wilson came to town in the old days it was as the ambassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, to see that no mines were planted to obstruct the charge of the nole Pittsburghians, with Cumberland Posey at their head. While Rollo was a good yellow with the bunch you would think that he had his training at the Court of St. James, for he was to meet on common ground with you when it came to a discussion of the excellence of the game. At times when we give the former Pittsburgh through these columns his eyebrows ascend in questioning wonder and he asks himself just why one of the old guard should find it necessary to harpon him from time to time, and if he is tempted to come to the conclusion that he deliberates to bolster his part of the argument or including in those perilities which seem to be the only recourse of those unable to stand the gaff. But even through it all, when he thinks we have returned to our place in line, he never hesitates to raise the flag of good-fellowship and indicate that, alter all, we are sworn to the motto of the nation for all." A worthy foeman indeed, if it becomes necessary, and a good fellow, in whom one can place implicit confidence. Those were indeed the good old days when the big Philadelphia came to these shores, and though he cases into the ring battles from time to time I am sure he will be glad to confess that the times have changed immeasurably and cannot by the longest grace the imagination be likened unto those days when the association took the job to exchange banter and talk about impending battles. Those my dear Alvin Moses, are days which you would give anything to bring back so that we can all get together and, without discord, notes, and those things in common which we must choose even now, for are we not the triumvirate sworn to stand together in the face of all obstacles? Ah, yes! God bless you merry goodwillers, and may it be a merry, merry Christmas and an even happier New Year. Greetings to our friend of the West, too. Gold old Frank Young, who never fails to remember the boys at Christmas. From the Gridiron To the Court SADLY the boys leave the under their arms, heads to lea on the sidelines on the baskets sporocally back to, turning their gaze to to the old grid and their battle of the game. Despite our note of despence old days, we note that the and church, and we must not the church, and we must just as glorious and we must selfish to cherish those memo present.

He has led that proves he was an asset to which they give him today. Jack McVey Deserving SADLY the boys leave the gridiron, with the pigskin cuddled under their arm, heads hanging with a touch of that regret which forces them to leave the field and take their places on the sidelines on the basketball court. If the true spirit of sportsmanship prevails, then the losers have no regrets to look back to, turning their gaze to the future when they can return to the fair game and their battle for old alma mater and the glory of the game. Despite our note of despondency upon the passing of the thrilling old days, we note that the youngsters are carrying on via "Y" and church, and we must not forget them, for they knew not of the past, only what we tell, and to them, no doubt, this day is as glorious and we must make them feel so, for it would be selfish to cherish those memories without giving thought to the present. Up at the Renaissance Casino Bob Douglas keeps the pot a boilin' and when one issues praise to others they must also remember that, but for the sagacity of Bob and that intelligence which has made it possible for him to continue to carry on, which has crushed in that maelstrom which descended upon our fair city where the guns were held old Bill Spartan. Bob gave an exhibition of rare courage that saved his Spartan Field Club from carrying the brunt of the battle in those days and it was only his strong sense of fair play that made it possible for him to enjoy that place in the history of the game along with the others, which his professional players in a manner that proves he was an asset to the game and deserving of every cheer which they give him today.

RENS TO MEET VISITATIONS XMAS NIGHT Crack New York Pros Felt the Sting of Renaissance Darts in Harlem Last Sunday Night; Score 39 to 27 VISITATIONS WILL TRY TO REPEAT VISITATIONS WILL TRY TO REPEAT American League Team to Face Renaissance Five Here Xmas Night down at Madison Square Garden when the world beating Brooklyn Visitation defeated the Renaissance Five, world colored basketball champions, there was a catch which the followers of the famous sport, but which will be recited on Christmas night when the Brooklynts face the Renaissance players here in Harlem at the Renaissance Casino. The players were forced to play the Visitation American League Rules, but on the coming Thursday night the teams will play each other in professional action, obtain today all over the country. It is only those that have followed basketball for the past fifteen or twenty years can appreciate what it means to be a champion, years at one set of rules and force them into another set with which they are not conversant. In the early days of the game in New York this was a hitch that held many a champion, and the rules for the rules with which they were more conversant. Because of the conditions the Visitationes are proficient with both sets of rules, but at that time they were not matched so far as this is concerned when they meet on Thursday night. It is no secret that the Brooklyn agregation of court men is considered the best in the country, and you can be up in leadership position for first place honors in the American League within the next few weeks. Ever since the season started these champions will be up in leadership position for first place honors of themselves, and they will arrive at the local court with a host of troley dodgers coming prepared to lend their support, hoping that their team can accomplish the champions on their own home court. To add to the tough schedule of the present week the Renalssance Five will go in against the Jamaica team in a game in place in what should be another brilliant exhibition of basketball. The Jamaicans are fighting for a place in the sun, and so far they have been unusually successful, not only in their own home town, but all over the world. They have been in some hard contests ever since they started the season. The players from Jamaica find themselves in a hard spot, for if the Renaissance should lose to the Visitation they are going out seeking revenge on Sunday night, while if they are going back to the happy frame of mind they will most likely run roughshod over the Separates. Criterions Won Five in A Row by Last Victory The Criterion A. C. team went down to the Columbus Hill Community Center last Friday and defeated the fastpitch A. C. team by a score of 28-22. The first half was very fast, the Olympics making five points before the Criterions could get started, but they soon got their stride and evoked the first half ended 18-8 in favor of the Criterions. In the second half Briggs and Morris substituted for Capt. Jeff and Patterson, who worked their tennants and clinched the game, which ended in a score of 28-22.

The New York Pros, with a well-deserved reputation as a fast and clever outfit, with a sharp baritone and a Harlem baron Sunday night at the Rennissance Casino, but went down to defeat at the hands of Bob Douglas world's colleague champions, by the score of 39 to 27. The Rens got a very good workout for their important game on Christmas night against the Brooklyn Visitation. The visitors were damn tough, though their score does not show it to be so. Once they got started, their sizzling speed and accurate shooting gave great extent, but the champions were not feeling exactly in a charitable mood, so they did not give them much leeway, and kept right on top of them, and them earn whatever points they scored. The Fros went into the lead at the start of the game, scoring three points to the Rens one, but Bob's charges and fairly burned up the court with their speed and kept the visitors from their own basket, while adding 14 points to the Rens in the first half, they let down just a little-bit, and the visitors took advantage of this to earn 7 points just as the first half ended, with the score 21 to 10 in the second half. Both teams played fast and brilliantly in the second half, and honors were even, the Rens added 18, and the Fros added 16, in first half effort, Jenkins, Satch and Cooper were given a rest before the second frame was over.

Christmas night the Rens will have an opportunity to even up the score with the Brooklyn Visitation, and they need to. The game will be played at the Renaissance Casino unintentionally, to be a sizzler as there are lots involved. Playing on their home court the champs should not experience fidelity, complex, such as usually is apparently the case when they play in York outside of their own park. We still believe the Rens are the greatest team on the courts of the country today, and should step into the playoffs. They are the Original Cotties, but they cannot hope to occupy that position by playing in and out ball. They must be consistent in their performances. The last few games have not come to a conclusion, but their best form is "Pappy Ricks, who in most games has made quite a few baskets, has nevertheless made only a small percentage of his trials, and we have seen many of the ball directly in the hands of one of their opponents, or so high or wide that even were they on sticks it would be difficult for them to get it. Then again, they have been shuff, and we have seen passes to a certain position that a man was expected, but when the ball arrived no one was there. These are faults that should not obtain in a championship game, behind them the better it will be for all concerned. Christmas night they play the Brooklyn Visitations, from whom they learn about the lives of people played between them, and if they do not want to suffer an eclipse by the Brooklyn bunch they will have to get back to their consistent way. Written by the author, they will be looked upon as the best team in New York. If not in the United States. The Visitations are bringing, in addition to the usual activities, to Geooney, Al Kollet, Willie Surtle, Fete.

Ohio.—A last-minute field goal by Glover, visiting guard, gave the Dayton Y. M. C. A. five a 34 to 33 victory over the Wilberforce University basketball team in Beacon gym Thursday night. Both teams at times exhibited a ragged passing attack and missed a number of field goals, but throughout the contest played a spirited and close game. At half time the count stood at 17-all. Ralph Scurry, Xenia product and former East High luminary, distinguished himself as high scorer with a total of eight baskets for 18 points. Scurry shooting was the feature of the Wilberforce attack, and shortly after the opening of the second half the Buckeye star registered a trio of markers that had the fans on their feet. Scurry's gunning was matched CLAVER FIVE WINS The St. Peter Claver five traveled to the Wilberforce House Settlement, 97 Lawrence street, last Monday and defeated the Wilboughy Seniors by a score of 18-9.

The music was furnished by the popular "Crockett Brothers" Orchestra, putting pep into afrafs of this kind. Souvenirs were distributed during intermission and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the affair immensely. Guaranteed Used Cars! C. B.

With only one minute to go, and with a lead of 33 to 32, the Bulldogs saw victory go, by the board Glover, embrace the opposing ball, receive a beautiful pass from George and loop the ball through the net for the winning point. Wilberforce displayed a better defensive than offensive attack, and the opposing team had opportunities by failure to get the range of the basket. Eleven personal fouls were counted against Wilberforce, while only six were charge to the "lockers." Glover, star Wilberforce forward, was forced from the game in the second quarter with a badly wrenched ankle, "Sis" Lucas taking his place. The play of the fresh, a man, as guard, was outstanding, while the all-around play of George, Glover and Smith sparkled for the visiting quintette. Score: DAYTON.

The game was closely contested during the first period and seemed to have terminated a so-called Billy, the Athenian aggressive guard, cut loose with a shooting attack that gave the Greeks a 20 to 14 lead at half time. At the opening of the second half, Coach Hurt sent in Wilson for Murdock, the classy floorman, who played high-class basketball, but failed to check the onward attack of the therans. Billy left guard for the Athenians, was high-point man for the evening with seven baskets and two free throws for 16 points. Henderson of the Athenians was sensational throughout the game, having pushed closely for scoring honors. Conrad, Hackett, and Captain "Babe" Jones were by far the outstanding player on the "Bears" with Wilson, Bluford, Gibson and Kurdock piyaging a well rounded game. The game for Coach Hurt was more or less an experiment to test the ability of the new players and develop team work in order that the players might hit their stride before meeting the Lincoln quintet on Jan. 16.

WHAT should easily be the biggest thing in amateur basketball in Harlem to take place Tuesday in December 30, at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, when the cream of college players will line up against the "Y" Seniors, and the pick of high school players in the metropolitan area stack up against the "Y" Juniors in two big holiday games. During the past week the team has been linking up the players and getting things in readiness for a big night. Not only will this committee stage this affair, but they intend having an "old-timers" roundup; that is all the men that have been connected with the Boys' Department at some time or other will be invited to a get-together after the games that will be The following players representing the colleges have accepted invitations and will be on deck: The "one and only" George Gregory of Columbia University; Herbie Harris, Lincoln; the dashing Q. R. Hands, Columbia College of Pharmacy; "Clink" Lee, Howard; Charlie Wilson, Wilberforce; Frank Steele, former Textile High star who is now captain of Alfred's cage team; Spanker Smith, gridron Lee; Lincoln, G. N. Y.; "Gate" Traylor, Morehouse; Florado Howard, N. Y. U., and Mowbrey Riley, Bates. Quite an imposing array of stars, eh, good enough for anybody's team. Coach Johnny Holt of the "Y" Seniors will call on Larry Bleach, captain; Jesse Brooks, Arrindell, Lewis, Harris, Marshall, Bryant and Taylor. THE Scholastics who will do battle with the Juniors are: Jack Stackhouse and "Ironhead" Payne of George Washington; Dave Walker, former Commerce star; Raymond Francis and "Boo" Brown of Textile; Web Bill, Clinton; Waring and Max Riley of Haaron, and the "boy wonder" Buster Talley of Clinton. The Juniors will pin their faith on Johnson, Bourne, Easter, Henderson, and Hanks, with an imposing array of resumes. With each a galaxy of stars the most exact basketball fans should see the correct amount of stellar ball tossing. Already the various captains are discussing their chances of victory. Referees for the occasion will be Bill Barcroft, Johnny Holt, Al Lind and Crip Romme. And to cap it off, the collegiate game will be started by the Dean of sporting and drama, Michael Dougherty, who will throw up the first ball if he can get away from his arduous duties. BIG NIGHT! How can you miss it? MINUS the services of George Gregory, who was playing for Columbia, Alpha Phil Alpha went down to defeat at the hands of the "Y" Seniors last Friday night by the score of 24-18. Dan Arrindell was the high scorer for the "Y" boys with ten points and Q. R. Hand for the Frat men accounted for seven points. In the preliminary the lightweights were trounced by the Red Wings to the tune of 23-14. THIS Friday night, December 26, the "Y" Seniors will have as their opponents the fast Talisman Biry Free, and by the request the Eastern Nurses will play the Eagles a return game. The Nurses took the measure of the Eagles early in the season and the girls that formerly sported the colors of Mother Zion are out to avenge that defeat. COMETS DEFEAT RED WINGS. The Comets, representing P. S. 89 defeated the Red Wings of P. S. 139 by the score of 24-14 on the court of P. S. 171 last Wednesday night. AUSTRALIANS BEST W.

INDIANS ADELAIDE, Australia. — The first test match between cricketers representing Australia and the West Indies ended here Dec. 16 with a victory for the home country by 10 wickets—a big margin for which fielding errors by the losers were partly responsible. In the Australians' batting, both scored 236 between them, were missed in the field quite early, and a similar failure by the tourists to seize golden opportunities on the last day permitted W. H. Ponsford to make 92 after a narrow escape of being stumped at 46, and enabled Archibald Jackson to make 70 instead of being caught for 32. The visitors added only 46 for their wicket, and the mighty Australians, therefore, had to make 170 to win. This they did speedily without a loss through the agency of Ponsford and Jackson. The individual hero of this one-sided game was G. C. Grant, old Cambridge Blue and captain of the West Indies eleven, for against bowling that earlier this year proved too good for England's best batsman, he batted 53 in the first and 71 in the second. The latter was a patient performance at a time when no one else could stay at the wicket. WEST INDIES—First Innings Birkett—c. and b. Grimmett. 27 Headley—c. Wall. b. Grimmett. 5 Boach—st.

Scott took four Australian wickets for no runs, the West Indies prospects were reduced to a mere 13 runs in Australia, all out for 376, by only 80 runs in the first innings. The West Indian batsmen, however, failed in the second venture and at the close of play seven of them had been dismissed for 603. Thus the West Indians led by 123—a state of affairs which seemed to clearly foreshadow the The New York Amsterdam News "LIL" SAM LANGFORD 4 Australians' victory. One hundred and fourteen of the visitors' total came from the bats of two men, Captain Grant and Birkett, their respective scores being 50 not out and 64. Top scorer in Australia's first innings was A. F. Kippax, who carried his overnight total of 118 to 146 and apart from giving a chance when only nine stood to his name played a faultless innings, lasting nearly four hours. He hit 18 fours in a stylist display that terminated when caught by Borrow off Griffiths bowling. A. F. Kippax off 41, hit one six and three fours and was at the wicket 13 hours. Batting for the second time the West Indians soon lost four wickets for 74, Roael, leaving at 15, Headley at 47, Martin at 52 and Constantine at 74. Grant and Birkett then came together and added 41 before Birkett was stumped. His 64 was made in 100 minutes. Grant batted very carefully for his valuable half century.

The Lions defeated Lin- coln at Jefferson City, Philander Smith at Little Rock, Lane of Tennessee, Arkansas Baptist of Little Rock. Shorter College of Little Rock and Bishop College at Marshall. Tex. Next year a heavy schedule awaits the Lions, possibly including Langston University, whom they tied in 1928, and Wiley College of Marshall, Texas.

At the Y, M. C. A. gym. Jackie Bourne and Charles Isley snatched the limelight in the scoring escapade, between them. "Pak" Frome held the ball to the extent of 13 of their 15 points. The outcome of the game was settled after the first ten minutes, for the "Bonnies" cracked under the early pace which left them flat-footed when the home team's plays were clicking best. In the first half the game with which scoring was accomplished by the Juniors' starting lineup of Bourne Hanks, Isles, Henderson and McCarthy, record score Morris and Battles, who found their way into the game for the Juniors before the half ended 36-10, were equally effective. As the second half opened, Chavis entered the game and he, along with Isles and Henderson, worked through tl. Boni Amici defense for several rapid scores. "The visitors, on the other hand, were being successfully defended," he said.

Although it was a stormy night a large crowd turned out and was treated to another thrilling game when Otto Briggs' Tribune Big Five defeated those powerful St. Christians of New York City 28 to 24. At half time the St. C's were leading the News-boys 16 to 10. When the second half started Captain "Slats" Davis put Shorty Chappelle in the game and he made two spectacular field goals which helped greatly in cutting down St. C's lead.

His 1931 campaign will be started in the opening meet of the year, the Columns at G.C. fifth annual games, at the 106th Infantry Armory, Brooklyn, on January 3, in the two-mile special. McCluckey's rise to the top ranks of the distance runners of this country has been unusually rapid. A year ago he won his first race. Early last indoor season he won several handicap races from short marks and then tried his luck in scratch races, winning or running a close second against the best distance runners in the country. Before the indoor season closed he the Metropolitan two-mile, national junior and national senior two-mile championships, all in fast time. Outdoors this past summer after college closed he did no running until he showed up for the national A. A. U. championships in pittsburgh. There was no distance event on the program between the mile and six miles. One was too short and the other was too long. Therefore, he started in and won the national two-steplechase championship. On that day he selected to represent the United States to meet against the British Empire in Chicago. He ran in the three-mile team race and was third in the race and the first American to finish. Racing against McCluskey in the Columbus Council two-mile will probably be Gus Moore, last year's winner, and the mile champion; Phil Schackette, Manhattan College; Phil Silverman and a half dozen other local stars.

M. C. A. last Monday evening, Judge-elect James E. Watson, who made his first appearance in this city, delivered an address that was pregnant with many valuable thoughts. Among other things, he said he was not ammunited of the responsibility he is soon to assume in January, when he ascends the bench as one of the municipal judges of New York City. Judge Watson paid a warm tribute to the founder of the Victory Life Insurance Company, Anthony Overton, stating that were it not for the latter's determination and untiring efforts it might not have been possible to get the company into New York City. The judge was introduced by Mrs. Gertrude Savory, wife of Dr. Philip H. M. Savory, one of the commissioners and one of the directors. She commended the judge for the wonderful legal and honest support which he gave the company when it was abandoned. The Bureau manager of the branch, acted as master of ceremonies and he announced that his branch had passed the quota of him a mere quarter of a year, and at the beginning of the year. He said that when the allotment was made in January he was told that it was very high but that he was not aware of the year. The branch has a very enviable record, having won the Overton Cup for two consecutive quarters, the only quarter of the year. The Chicago office. This trophy is held for three-month periods by the branch whose net business is the best and from present indication that it will hold the third quarter.

Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of a congregation in a recent sermon at his church. Before stating his reasons for objecting to this form of marriage, Dr. Proctor gave opposing arguments in the marriage. He said that it was experimental rather than permanent; that each contracting individual agrees to support him, and that the couple is supposed by the couple and that dissolution of the relationship is voluntary. Proctor scored Judge Lindsey's plan, declaring that should it become the standard it would most certainly break down the sacred bonds of marriage. The vision of companionate marriage as set forth by Judge Lindsey, Dr. Proctor said, came out of the gutter and not from the noble elephants of this system were laying a foundation of mud for the married structure instead of one that will stand the rigors of a changing world. The objections offered by the minister were that such an arrangement as that advocated by Judge Lindsey was not practical and not enough on the spiritual side of life; that it crumbles the foundation of life by the use of artificial means for controlling birth; that it is not appropriate to the female and that after dissolution the woman is turned loose on the world without legal protection.

Advocates Entrance Into The League of Nations "World Peace" was the topic on which the Rev. L. Bradford Young, assistant pector of Trinity Episcopal University, recently at the Community Center guest speaker of the Brooklyn Forum. The reverend gentleman scored the United States for its policy of isolation of nonimmigrants in the Lords of Nations and the World Court. He asserted that such an attitude does not make for world peace. He advocated the elimination of armies and navies as they are not essential to lasting peace but are the best means of hastening war. The unkeep of the army and navy, he pointed out, has been on the increase and the army and navy community should be used for its development and not in preparation for war.

PETERSON BOYD Sends Christmas Message: This glorious Christmastide amidst this season of depression intensifies the interest of him that gives and him that takes. Some of us on the front are pledged to a great cause in which we must not only carry on, but we must carry through. This expression of assurance on our part is made possible by the appearance of the Infant Christ in the flesh, that we might through Him not only see the full manifestation of the Father's love, but also have the opportunity to experience the love those who lead and those who follow in the great work of Christian social service will together more joyfully do their best in distributing Christmas cheer to the needy. Let no one forget that the expression of the Christlike spirit on the part of those who help and those who are helped will enhance the willingness and increase the joy of those sources from which help comes. And so the combination of this Christmastide with this season of depression has a unique unifying effect on us all as members of the one great family of God. Inspired by the gift of the Christ Child and the active vigilance of the Shrimp, we have a steadfast determination to carry through. Rejoicing with you for the privilege of service which no one can take from us, and wishing you all the joys of the Christmastide. I am, yours most affectionately.

W. C. A., said: "In her radio ad addressing Mr. Donald, daughter of the British Press, the main types of so-called social workers to aspirin taken to appease pain, but not able to reach the real cause of the problem." "In an emergency situation like the present serious unemployment crisis, such palliatives for social pain and more immediate outcome, of necessity, more widespread and immediate human suffering." Temporary help must be given while the actual needs are diagnosed and the long term cure planned. The program attempted. Even while returning the actual needs of the unemployed, steps must be taken which will foresee the possibility of a repetition of the present situation. "New York State is pioneering in this field through the work of the Committee on Stabilization of Industries and Unemployment. This committee, in March, presented its second report in December. Three other States, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania, have similar plans, planning commissions, but the first is the New York Committee.

HARTEN Of Holy Trinity Baptist Church Ushered into the world about this time, thousands of years ago, was a babe, the Son of the Holy Nazarene and His Name was called Jesus. Wise men greeted Him and sang His praise, for His coming meant a changed world, one wherein the spirit of universal brotherhood would be universal. But after these many years we find mankind still in its mad rush for material power, forgetting the spiritual and moral preachments of Him Who came to save the world—the strong oppressing the weak; nations marshalled against nations. It is meet, therefore, to re-echo at this Christmas season the sentiments of Him Who was sent to save the world. "PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD-WILL TO MEN." "Peace on Earth and Good-Will Towards All Men" From our hearts we echo this oldest Christmas Greeting to our good friends and patrons, and wish them a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Emden Resents Society's Consulting Mr. Morton About Hospital Survey. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: We are faced with a problem of vital importance and interest to the Negro inhabitants of New York City in general, and to the medical profession in particular. The philanthropist, Julius Rosenwald, has been greatly insulted by a group termed leaders of the Negro race. Ferdinand Q. Morton, who apparently controls the will of a section of the medical men in Harlem, can only allow them to view matters with the eye of a politician, having one selfish aim in view, i.e., a preservation of self. In his letter to Dr. Wilson, president of the Manhattan Medical Society, he states that th. is the survey of the city's surgeons and surgeons in the city was relentless in principle. Mr. Morton's attack, in my opinion, is presumptuous, unwarranted and uncalled for. He. speaking as it were, for the Negroes of Harlem, has exhibited a feeling of ingrudence, and his action in this matter will tend to work hardship for not only Negroes in Harlem, but also many whites, monious letter, especially that section referring personally to Mr. Rosenwald, is obnoxious, to say the least. Scouts, under the supervision of A. G. Itis, the highest classification in the order to right)-Norman Cobbs and Sollace esters; standing (left to right)-James Hard Legare. This district's scoutcraft will close this week. Rosenwald, in least. It seems when the organization opinion of a the decision purely tech which they It seems the act of a weakling when the president of a medical organization has to invite the opinion of a layman to influence the decision of its members on a purely technical proposition, of which they should be by far the better judges. It is full time that the citizens of New York City, and Harlem in particular, open their eyes to matters affecting the community and not allow a few would-be despots to lead them astray. It has really come to the point where the lives of the members of the community depend on the success of a few individuals. Such a state of affairs is depolarate and makes it imperative on those outside of this small circle to take immediate action, in order to safeguard the interests of the community. Very truly yours, (Signed) H. M. MAYHON EMDEN, M. D. 3340 Seventh avenue, New York City, December 13, 1930.

MERRY CHRISTMAS GREETINGS From Bethlehem to Calvary From Bethlehem to Calvary THE BELLS OF CHRISTENDOM will ring this week—ring for the most wondrous journey ever week—ring for the most wondrous journey ever made upon this earth. It began at Bethlehem and ended thirty-three years later at Calvary. In those few years the face of the world was changed. The Babe of Bethlehem was born into a world of fear and darkness, a world ruled by capricious gods with divine powers and human frailties, a world that reeked with perennial blood-lust and saturnalia. SLOWLY the new light spread. Against the swords and spears of Rome it pitted the weapons of justice, mercy and love for all men. Rome, which had no weapons but iron, knew not what to do in the face of this rising moral force. It crucified the adherents of the new faith, it burned them to death on the imperial highways, it threw them naked into the claws of hungry lions, only to see others step forth and take their places. At last Rome gave up, and the world saw its first and greatest triumph of moral power over physical force. IN THOSE DAYS Christianity was at its purest and brightest. It had conquered Caesar and lived for God alone; the things of this world had no hold upon it But the pure, serene faith that had liberated a world became clouded, religion degenerated to dogma, and the Rock of Ages was encrusted with barnacles of superstition. Men's reason began to question, not the faith itself, but the edifice of man-made doctrine that had grown up around it. Just as a wrecking crew, in attempting to clear away an outhouse, may damage the main building, so the skeptics, disgusted with incidental superstitions, began to deal blows at Christianity and all religion. THEN CAME another age. Humanity can do nothing by halves. From believing everything, men rushed to the other extreme and believed nothing. They returned to paganism without giving it that name; they believed in nothing that they could not see or touch. The advance of science, whose revelation of the majestic march of evolution from reptile to man should have made them revere God more than ever, was interpreted as disproving the existence of God. They lashed at the old Christian bulwarks of love, faith, home and character like an angry tide that seeks to tear away the timbers of a wharf; they would have stripped man of everything and made gods of machines. WHY HAVE they so nearly succeeded? Why has the faith of Christ, which conquered mighty Rome and swayed the world for centuries, lost so much of its force and prestige? It is because the stewards of Christ, too often, have forgotten the admonition of the Man of Bethlehem: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." Too often they surrender to Caesar; they are not true houses of Christ; they become primarily social clubs and great business corporations. They are afraid to stand out boldly for the faith like the martyrs of old, lest they lose a new building or offend wealthy members. No longer do hot blasts come from the pulpit denouncing the great evils of the world. NOR IS THERE enough endeavor to live up to the mercy and forbearance of Christ. Where was the spirit of Christ two weeks ago when a misguided man who interrupted a church service was set upon and beaten, and in a great cathedral dedicated to Christ was heard the cry of "Lynch him!"? With what sad eyes the Man of Bethlehem must have looked down upon that scene! Was it for this He died on Calvary? YET IN CHRIST'S church there are some who still hold fast to the pure, uncontaminated faith. If Christianity is to survive there must be more of them. The world cannot afford to lose the Child of Bethlehem; it will cling to Him if His faith is rightly held before "Does Morton's New Title of 'M.D.' Stand for M--edical D--ictator?" Big fleas have little fleas Upon their legs to bite 'em, And little fleas have little fleas, And so ad aliquum—itum. The Editor of The Amsterdam News: PERMIT me to offer you my congratulations on that most splendid article, entitled "Doc Ferdinand Q. Morton takes over the practice of medicine," which appeared in your issue of December 17 last. When the news was published that the Manhattan Medical Society had not only made the blunder but had also led an otherwise astute politician to appear in an even more unfavorable light, I was simply amazed. You will remember that some months ago while discussing the measures taken to reorganize the staff of Harlem Hospital. I stated boldly that it was chiefly a matter of politics. The action, both of the president of that society and of "Doc" Morton in delivering his flat against the survey, seems to prove conclusively the correctness of my assumption. As you have been pleased to confer the title of "Doc" on Mr. Morton, a non-practicing lawyer, may I ask you whether the M. D. stands for "medical dictator" or "meddling Democrat"? I am now looking forward to learn that with the medical greatness of the man, he will be called upon by the authorities to pronounce upon the anatomy and morphology of the latest species of parasites now infesting the body of the Tammany tiger, when I feel certain he will decide, without the use of the microscope, that they have long suckers, no brains, no backbone but many flagellae (tall-like appendages). My suggestion to him, however, is that he should learn the wisdom of the saying, even though he to do otherwise that the "shoemaker should stick to his last." Now, about this controversial survey: You have gone into the matter at commendable length and you are to be complimented upon the industry you displayed in procuring difficult facts and figures bearing upon the issue, but even these fall far short of the actual situation. Under date of Dec. 6, the Weekly Bulletin of the City of New York Department of Health deplores the disproportionate preponderance of infantile diseases, pneumonia and tuberculosis among the Negro population which need to be reduced, and so it seems to be that more hospital provision is a crying necessity. While you have also correctly described the situation which forces the doctor to par with his patient at the hospital door, you sought to exclude Harlem Hospital. As a now resigned member of the visiting staff of that institution, I may inform you that in that institution the private practitioner is obliged to give up his connection with the treatment of his patient. As a matter of fact, at Harlem Hospital, he stands to lose his patient with even greater facility, owing to the special circumstances attendant upon treatment there and the immediate competition with other practitioners and internes who hold positions on the staff. It should be stated in fairness that private practitioners of other races and national origins suffer under the same disabilities, but as you so well pointed out, the situation has been met by the founding of better equipped private institutions. But there is yet another aspect which you have overlooked, and which could be been treated, and it might be booed to that, that the refusal of licensed practitioners Segregation by the Government SEVERAL weeks ago The New York Times carried an account of the report of the Civil Service Reform League extolling the progress of the civil service reform movement for the past fifty years. Thereupon, I wrote The Times pointing out the failure of the civil service machinery to give the Negro applicant a square deal on the basis of his merit. The editor was good enough to publish my article in the issue of December 4, but gratuitously appended statistics to the effect that 52,000 Negroes are on the Federal government payroll, with an aggregate salary of over $64,000,000. These facts were compiled by the Negro special agent in the Department of Labor to be used as offset Segregation moves apace while we denounce lynching, "illy-whiteism" and Judge Parker, or indulge it. This week, from great city and broad plain, thoughts turn to a hamlet in Asia Minor, and from innumerable hearts and lips spring the carol: "O little town of Bethlehem." Bu CHARLES AUGUSTIN PETIONI, M.D. Doctors Jump at Crack of Tammany Politician's Whip That the Society (North Hir establish a Tuberculosis Smiti tions: (1) That there be a mixed and white). (2) That the hospital be recognized medical colleges (3) That the nursing staff be (4) That laboratory posts (preforably colored). (5) That junior medical me occurred: that is, if so qualified.

(2) That the hospital be manned by colored internets from recognized medical colleges (3) That the nursing staff be colored. (4) That laboratory positions be filled by qualified men (preferably colored). (5) That junior medical men would be advanced as vacancies occurred; that is, if so qualified. (6) That the institution be connected with some recognized college. (7) That the institution be used for medical training for undergraduates in medicine and post-graduate work for practising physicians. (8) That the location of the sanitarium be such that it can be conveniently renched by medical students and physicians on the staff. In the discussion which followed, Dr. Sidat Singh asked whether or not the society would be inviting segregation if it endorsed the report, but after Dr. McGhee, Anderson, Allen and Reed had spoken, his fears were evidently allayed, for the motion to adopt the committee's report was carried. Dr. Granady then moved that a committee be appointed to meet with persons interested in the matter and the chairman appointed Drs. Anderson, G. Murray, Brown and Peter M. Murray. When the proposition to survey the hospital needs of Harlan came up for discussion be fore the Manhattan Medical Society, Drs. Wright, Middleton, Maynard, Allen and Brown spoke against it, on the ground that it was a Crow-proposition, all the while forgetting that less than a year ago they had given their endorsement not to a survey, but to what could have easily have been classified as a Jim-Crow proposition. But all that was before Ferdinand Q. Motion cracked his whip over their heads. Drs. McGhee, Graves, Ellis Harding, Roberts Armstrong and James L. Wilson are also members of the Medical Society who served on the committee which voted favorably on the tuberculous hospital prosecution—W. M. K. to be surveyed by a recognized medical information bureau on questions connected solely with the practice of medicine and the health of the community of which they are regarded as the logical guardians. You, Mr. Editor, have, at times, been a rather offensive critic of our doctors. Not long ago I protested to you personally against some unfavorable statements in articles concerning "Harlem doctors," instead of "some Harlem doctors," in regard to some aspects of their practice. It is well known that among the laity and even in intelligent circles, colored and white, the general impression prevails that the colored practitioner is inferior in pedicure that he graduates from the same schools and passes the same state boards as the white practitioner; and that his conduct and practice are often questionable. When, therefore, a recognized body of practitioners, hiding themselves behind the smoke screen of Jim Crow, decide to decline to be surveyed, is it too great a flight of imagination on the part of the already prejudiced public to conclude that such a refusal may be due to the fact that "all is not quiet along the Potomac," or that the Potomac, or that I make bold to say that such a against the complaint that there is race prejudice and discrimination in the Civil Service. Much use of these facts was made in the last Presidential campaign. I am sorry to say, by Negro spellbinders, to appease the grievance of the Negro complainant. I replied to the foot-note of the editor of The Times stating that these 5,200 jobs, for the most part, consisted of soldiers, sailors, jailors, messengers, laborers, charwomen and caretakers, and did not touch the merits of the complaint that the race was discriminated against in the classified service. My rejoice remains unpublished. Several years ago the whole race was lashed into fury over discrimination in the government departments at Washington. The late Neval H. Thomas laid down his life as a sacrifice on this altar. But the law of social psychology prevailed. During the past biennium half a dozen heated issues have arisen and pushed government segregation out of public consciousness. But while we grow oblivious the fire burns.

I venture the opinion that the rottenness is due to the questionable alliance of medicine and politics, which stinks in the morsitis of all self-respecting individuals, whether patient or practitioner, and which, as I have repeatedly stated, can be of no benefit to the community as a whole. The question of medical ethics and common courtesy should also be considered. Here we find a colored practitioner. Dr. D. L. Harris, calling upon physicians practicing in our midst and being refused a fraternal reception because of the lack of respect, propose to them at some future date, the establishment of an institution which, in its final aspects, may be "Jim Crow." Is that not timidity to the extreme? I here recall that I once had occasion to accuse a certain prominent practitioner of being afraid of his shadow. His reply was, "it is not his shadow but publicity that he feared." Until the colored brother so compacts and prepares himself that he will have neither fear of his shadow nor of publicity he will never be able to come into his own in the affairs of his country. You have properly handled this the Gover MILLER In bridge parties, fiddling and dancing. A constant force in the long run will overcome an inermittent one.

For years ago, there has not been an ap- SPECIAL ARTICLES A. S. S. Charles A. Petioni, M. D. bogey of "Jim Crow." It is absurd for so many beneficiaries of Jim Crowism of the hand-picked variety to make such an assertion—like the pot calling the kettle black. Granted that we have been enjoined of old to beware of the Greeks who bear us gifts, an examination of the work of the Rosenwald Foundation can easily withstand the closest scrutiny. Here we see the spectacle of a member of an oppressed race, who himself has attained to affluence, doing that which is unusual to the poor, the oppressed, or possibly become oppressed, as evidenced by some of our own associates here in Harlem, where the survey is sought to be made, going out and assisting not only the members of his race and religion but those of other unfortunate and downright races. I need not go into the specific, but I point with satisfaction to the chain of schools in the South erected to break the bonds of illiteracy, raise the standard of living, reduce disease and criminality, give inspiration and instill hope and encouragement in the minds and hearts of thousands of poor, that have been established through the generosity of Julius Rosenwald. In regard to the Provident Hospital in Chicago, so far as I have been informed, that institution will function for the purpose of developing men in larger numbers and with greater facilities to advance in general medicine and in the special field of working, hand in hand, as some are already doing, with white men, on patients, colored and white alike. If that is Jim Crow, I for one would say, "Lord, grant us plenty of it in this city and time." Further. I wish to remind you that at a special meeting on Jan. 17, 1930, when a similar situation in regard to tuberculosis was discussed, a majority of those now crying "Jim Crow" not only served on the committee but passed a resolution endorsing the proposition to establish a tuberculosis hospital for colored. In conclusion, I wish to emphasize the quotation made at the head of this communication. It has been demonstrated that the Tammany Tiger is infested with parasites, many of whom make him pass sleepless and miserable nights. These parasites, in their vain glory and pride of position, become infested with other parasites of lesser lik who, in their turn, make life intolerable for the bigger ones. Among these parasites are to be found clientless lawyers and spineless surgeons who prefer political plums to private practice. pointed a single de novo Negro to any position requiring Presidential nomination and Senatorial confirmation. This policy shut out the Negro from the upper level of government service. The discriminatory practice of the Civil Service machinery has effectually closed the door to Negro candidates. There has been considerable augmentation of Negroes in the subclerical service. This seems to be the fixed and determined policy. One exception must be noted. There is a strong tendency towards vertical, as well as horizontal, segregation. The office of Recorder of Deeds is assigned a Negro head, with the implied understanding that the racial bar shall not operate against the Negro in the clerical force. In addition, there are several divisions with a Negro chief and an entirely Negro staff. So far as the general classified service goes, there still hang over, here and there, a few Negro clerks who go along as best they can under the segregative policy which is open and abusive. The Negro clerical contingency has absolutely no recruits or reinforcement. One by one they fall out by death, resignation or removal. None is allowed to take their place. The final result is obvious and inevitable. Way back yonder, when I served under Civil Service appointment, a distinguished Democrat, passing through, is said to have remarked Book Review A World Nightmare TUBERCULOSIS, Its Cause, Prevention and Care. By Frank H. Livingston. Published by The Macmillan Company, New York. $2.50. NO DISEASE in history has shadowed the lives of so many people as tuberculosis. If a near relative dies of it, you never afterward hear or mention its name without a chill. Elusive, sinister, impalpable, it hovers about you like a ghost. Other diseases, such as typhoid and pneumonia, strike hard and quick; you win or lose decisively. Tuberculosis is a slow, creeping, treacherous fire; you never know when it is in you, or when it is put new paws on the body and often gives new powers to the mind. Youers that cheat you by burning up the body faster than ever. Great men have lived and died in its grasp—men like Virgil of Rome. It was in a consumptive fever that Keats wrote his heavenly verse and Chopin his unearthly music. Robert Louis Stevenson was tubercular, and we all remember the plight of our own Paul Laurence Dunbar. It generally attacks the lungs, but may attack any part of the body. Its sources are two—human and bovine. The bovine comes from drinking the milk of infected cattle, which are more numerous than is supposed. It has been found, for instance, that there is more tuberculosis among farm children who drink milk fresh from the cow than among city children. It may be caught by contagion; but any injury leaves a weak spot that may be attacked. Sickness, overwork All those men were probably willing to trade their genius for deliverance from the scourge, and humanity would giddy set civilization back two hundred years, if by so doing it could dispel the spectre that dogs it closer and closer every year. For dog us it does. The death rate from tuberculosis may have been checked; but the number of tubercular persons has increased. Fully 70 per cent of the population at some time in their lives are endangered by tuberculosis, and 2 per cent are direct sufferers. No one can speak with more conviction about tuberculosis than a man who has it. Such a man is Frank H. Livingston, the author of this book. He is not a physician; but for twenty-five years he has been actively tubercular. He has written this book to give others the practical information that he has gathered in his lifelong fight. He has made bad mistakes, followed wrong advice, and suffered from general ignorance of the nature of the disease and its problems. First, he tells what tuberculosis is. It gets its name from little tuberculosis that form anywhere in the body. Little was known about it till Koch isolated the germ in 1883. And what a germ it is! Of all germs it is the hardest to kill, for it is covered with a waxy coating that is hard to dissolve. Carbolic acid, which kills all other germs immediately, takes twenty minutes to kill the tubercular germ. Thus it is impossible to give the body a medicine strong enough to kill the germ without killing the body. There is another cure that destroys the germs, but it also destroys the kidneys. The ways of contracting tuberculosis are numerous, and some are that "The Democratic party will soon take the departments out of mourning." Democrats and Republicans alike have hung in the accomplishment of this purpose. Coolidge promised Trotter, in my presence, that he would put an end to such departmental segregation. But to the best knowledge and belief of the alleger, the New England President did absolutely nothing to fulfill his promise. The other day the same intrepid Trotter poured the same complaint into Mr. Hower's ear of merely passive and negative receptivity. What shall we do? Shall we cease insisting upon the fair and impartial enforcement of the Civil Society? Or shall we continue to appeal to the nation a nation which nullifies its own and thereby belies moral idealism and compromises its own moral integrity? Three courses lie open: (1) The policy of Neval Thomas—cry loud and spare not. Let neither President, Cabinet officer, head of department nor candidate for office have any peace while such discrimination is operated within his conscience and under his authority; (2) Continue the present laissez-faire policy, and let the administration reject the Jim-Crowd policy without remonstration; (3) Sively, or aowedly, accept the vertical separation which sets up Negro bureaus in sections manned and managed by Negroes. Which shall it be? Bringing Back YESTERYEARS Bringing Back YESTERYEARS The Julius Rosenwald Fund reported gifts of $640,000 to Negro colleges and hospitals in 1929. The National Urban League announced that heavy losses were noted in employment of Negroes. Oscar DePriest delivered his first speech in Congress. Five Years Ago Two men in Clarksdale, Miss., were removed from jail and lynched after they had been acquitted on murder charges. Walter Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, was ordered freed on a charge of conspiring to pass whiskey into the port.

It generally attacks the lungs, but may attack any part of the body. Its sources are two—human and bovine. The bovine comes from drinking the milk of infected cattle, which are more numerous than is supposed. It has been found, for instance, that there is more tuberculosis among farm children who drink milk fresh from the cow than among city children. It may be caught by contagion; but any injury leaves a weak spot that may be attacked. Sickness, overwork, exposure, excesses, exhaustion, injuries from football, all have led to infection and consequent tuberculosis. Many women have contracted it by starving themselves into slimness to keep up with the style. Fat people, as a general thing, do not get tuberculosis. They are more susceptible to other things, of course, but they don't need to worry about this disease. Well-nourished body is the best insurance. We should realize that tubercular germs are always present in the body, received from the air and our food. A strong body kills most of them off; but a few always hide themselves and wait for their chance. If a subercular patient's lungs could be taken out, exposed to the sun for a few hours, and then replaced, the disease would give no more trouble than a cut finger, for sunlight is deadly to the germs. Such an operation is impossible; but surgery, with all its miracles, may some day come to this. The most important thing is to discover the disease early. As the author says, it is like a fire in a haystack: if found quickly it is easy to put out; but if allowed to gain headway it will destroy the haystack. Some of the symptoms are rickets in childhood, weak parents, malnutrition, pleural pain, lack of food, and feeling like feel rested after a long rest, nervousness, loss of weight, broken sleep, night sweats, chronic bronchitis, a persistent cough. Not all of these signs are necessarily tubercular, but they may be. In regard to treatment after one is infected, this author does not presume to speak as a scientist, but only as one who has lived with the disease for twenty-five years and who knows its ways. First of all, he says, a brave front and an optimistic frame of mind are needed. Drugs and medicines are only aids; there is no medicinal cure. The chief and time-tried cure is rest—in bed. Doctors specializing in the disease should be consulted at once. The fresh-air treatment is advisable, but it has been sadly overdue. The old idea was that the patient should stay away from the air—the colder the air, the better. The author calls it nonsense; sick, feverish people with raw lungs who live and sleep in the air in zero weather up use their vitality fighting the cold when it should be saved to fight the disease. Such a practice would be dangerous even to healthy people. The mild tubercular should keep away from dancing and other amusements and be in bed by 9 o'clock every night. He must avoid all exercise except the gentiest. Above all, he should rest, rest, rest, and when he is tired of resting he should rest some more. In no other way can the body marshal its energies to fight off the plague. No one can know this better than the doctor, who has been living twenty-five years with tuberculosis, says he enjoys life better than ever before.

'tis Chris'mus day An' how I wish 'twas hea tu tay; All sawts o' eats are passin' by, Fom hawgs he'd cheeze tu 'pos- sum pie.

Bof ol' an' yung, bof lorge an' small, A Merry Chris'mus tu you all. —EUGENE D. JOHNSON —AUBREY BOWSER. POET'S CORNER
