START THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS FOR 1931 HAPPY NEW YEAR, Mr. Justices Toney and Watson! HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Roay Side of the Chelsea Bank Closing WITH THE announcement Sunday that the closed Chelsea Bank and Trust Company has been found solvent, following an investigation made by experts working under Joseph A. Broderick, State Superintendent of Banks, the fears felt by many depositors who believed that their savings and other funds would be swept away were somewhat allayed. The check-up revealed asset of $20,887,564.44 and liabilities, exclusive of capital stock, surplus and undivided profits, of $171,058.64. Not only was the bank found to be solvent, it is reported in sound financial condition. In the face of such optimistic reports, the depositor should "take up this tangled matter at the best," and not spend sleepless nights and restless days worrying over disasters that might have befallen him or that may befall him. There is every prospect that the Chelson will be able to repay dollar for dollar for every one deposited, which is more important than a reorganization, reopening, amalgamation, or whatever else may happen. The rosey side, found to exist in most everything else, may even be present in a bank closing, especially when there are bright prospects that there will be monster loa. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to look for it. In the case of the Chelsea closing, who knows but that hundreds of those who stunned the does last Tuesday in an effort to withdraw their money may yet be able to do so—end at a time when these funds may be more severely needed than they were last week. Recalling that this was two days before Christmas, it is also possible that there are today fewer abominable Christmas neckties and oligars in circulation than there would have been if the bank had not closed. WHAT WITH THE Kresel-Seabury vice, police and court investigation, the threatened expose of the "numbers" racket in Harlem by Mme St. Clair and the announcement that the New York Clearing House has under consideration a plan to discontinue making public local clearing figures, on which the "numbers" racket is based, Harlem's "bankers" and their alleged protecting police officials have hard sledding before them for the year 1931. We Have Them In Abundance THE EX-SLAVE Association, which met last week in Atlanta, and whose ranks are believed to be thinning, should come to New York for recruits. We may not have many ex-slaves amnog us, but we are bubbling over, with the next best substitute, the bandana andkerchief headed Negro.

The new Tenth Municipal Court district, from Toney and Wat- son were elected in November on the Democratic ticket, was carved from the Seventh district by the 1930 Legislature. The bill was introduced by Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers, Republican, and was modified to meet the approval of the Democratic party, which was assured the election of a number of justices in a total of eight to get office. The signing of the bill by Governor Roosevelt marked the close of a ten-year period during which Republicans strove to insure the election of two Negro justices. Justice-elect Watson will sit in the Tenth district immediately after his induction. The new court is located (Continued on First Page. Second Section.)

Cohen, 70, comptroller of customs for the New Orleans Federal district, and perhaps the greatest Negro Republican leader in the South since the Reconstruction died here today. Cohen had been all with a alliment of the liver for several days, and lost consciousness Saturday. The comptroller was one of the few men to retain his power in republican councils of the South despite the repeated onslaughts of whites who sought to discredit him and dribe him from office. Since 1892 he has been Louisiana's delegate to the Republican national convention. Cohen entered politics during the administration of Governor Warmouth, those leutenant-governor was a Navy Walter Pinchback. Pinchback has governor during several periods. While still a senator man, Cohen controlled the Federal patronage of his state. He roginally as assemblyman, customs inspector, registrar of the Federal and Office, and finally to comptroller. He was designated for compiler by President Harding and married to have his appointment ratified by the Senate despite the opposition of prejudiced national solons.

Magistrate Edward Weil held the policeman in $500 bail for a hearing a week later. The slain man was Harry Mendez, 30, 113 West 136th street. Mendez's body was discovered at 10:30 a.m. by Harold Clark, a tenant of the 131st street house. The twisted corps lay between houses 142 and 144, in a space one and one-half feet wide. Clark called the West 136th street station and Patrolman Seward was sent to investigate. The policeman called for an ambulance from Harlem Hospital.

The complaint was made by John Wilson, 19, a presser, 349 West 141st KILLS ONE Police first were inclined to believe that Mendez committed suicide. An examination of the body, however, forced them to change their theory. They believe Mendez was hurled to his death from a window or from the roof. Detective Flinter of the West 136th street station was assigned to direct the search for the slayers. Whether Mendez was the victim of gangsters or merely the sufferer in a love triangle or loser in a fight were the possibilities being sifted by the police yesterday. No direct clue was found at the scene of the murder.

The boy was in the areaway alongside the house when Patrolman Johnson came along and demanded to know what he was doing with the axe. The youth said he replied that he lived in the house and had a right to have the axe. This led to words, following which the officer kicked Wilson, the latter asserted. The complainant said he suffered sprains of the neck and left shoulder and abrasions of the nose in the melee in which he charged the officer used his fists and club.

He said he would devote himself to writing.

The blaze had been extinguished when Fire Department apparatus arrived. Quack action of doctors, nurses and attendants probably prevented a catastrophe. The injured: BERNARD HARRIS, 33, 344 St. Nicholas avenue. FRANK CURTELLO, eight months, 76 East 113th street. The fire occurred at 4:10 p. m. in an oxygen chamber used for the treatment of pneumonia patients, on the third floor of the main building of the hospital. The room was in charge of one Dr. Levine, who went out for a few minutes before the blaze. When he returned he was greeted by flames and the shrieks of the patients. Dr. Levine aroused the hospital employees, who rushed in with fire extinguisher and promptly put an end to the fire. A ward adjacent to the oxygen room had sixty patients in it. They were alarmed by the bustle and cries of the patients in the flames, but were quickly quieted by the nurses. The patients trapped for a while in the blazing chamber were all bedridden. All suffered burns of the faces and arms. Dr. Rudolph Rapp, white, superintendent of the hospital, declined to make any statement to reporters, and referred all questions to Commissioner J. G. William Greeff, head of the Hospital Department. Magistrate Well, sitting Saturday in Heights Court, committed Harry Humphrey, 30, 166 West 132d street, to prison to await extradition papers from Mariborio, Mass., where he is said to be wanted on a charge of abandoning his family.

Residents of Jamaica, L. fatal shooting of a 17-year-old 174th street, by Patrolman Jo precinct early Christmas mornin Investigation revealed that a call was received at the station about 4:30 a.m. stating that a colored man was attempting to start several cars parked at the Richmond Hill section. In response to it Patrolmen Pensa and Allen were despatched to the scene. The patrolmen stated that a man was seen not very far from the cars and was acting in a very suspicious manner. They commanded him to halt, but instead of doing so he began running. As the chase continued, the lad turned around as if to shoot. Then Patrolman Allen fired a shot which killed the youngster instantly. When searched no gun was found on the body of West but, according to the policemen, they discovered a black jack, a pair of pilers and a part of a silk stocking, which they claimed might have been used for a mask. However, the father of the boy, Edward West, and many neighbors stated quite emphatically that the youngster knew absolutely nothing about automobiles, and said further that he did not drive a car, which made it improbable for him to have been the one attempting to start the cars. The father who, with the youngster, is employed by the Feldkor Corporation, not very far from where the accident occurred, gave as the reason for the boy being on the street at that hour in the morning, the fact that he was on night duty at their place of employment and it is customary that, when so engaged, to attend the boiler, the boy would go out for lunch. The parent stated further when he left him, about midnight for his home, young West was writing Christmas cards, which he mailed before the shooting, because they were received by his friends. At the funeral services, which were held on Sunday at the funeral parlor of J. Foster Phillips, many prominent persons testified to the temperate habits of the boy and expressed their belief that it was a matter of mistaken identity. The father also explained that the pilers found on the body was one of the tools that is used in the boy's occupation. The district attorney exonerated Allen of all blame for the killing, and it is said that through the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an investigation will be demanded. Girl Killer Waits For Jury's Action Tells Police She Knifed White Man When He Tried Attack Charged with first degree murder, Helen Crawford, 23, 2647 Eighth avenue, is languishing in the Harlem Prison awaiting indictment or freedom by the New York County Grand Jury. The young woman is accused of having stabbed to death Johannes Knudsen, white, 30, 60 Second place, Brooklyn, in her apartment at the Eighth avenue address on December 12. Knudsen's body was found lying in the hallway of the house by a tenant, who summoned police. Miss Crawford was arrested by Detective Webber of the West 136th street station a short time after the discovery of the body. According to Webber, Miss Crawford at first denied that she had ever seen Knudsen before, but when confronted with blood stains on the kitchen and bathroom floors confessed the crime. She told police that Knudsen followed her home and attempted to attack her. In defense, she is credited with saying, she plunged a kitchen knife into his body. The terrified girl is said to have then dragged the lifeless man's body to the hallway, where it was discovered a short time later. Arraigned in Homelide Court for the first time on December 15, Miss Crawford was held without bail for a hearing on December 23, at which time she was charged with first degree murder and held for the action of the Grand Jury.

He will have a further hear- BRONX MAN HELD FOR DEATH OF POLICEMAN The Christmas holiday was spoiled for Walter Watson, 30, 479 Morris avenue, Bronx, when he was held in $1,500 ball on a technical homicide charge as he was arraigned Thursday in Heights Court. Watson was accused of driving a car last Wednesday when it skidded, struck and killed Patrolman James McMahon, white, of Traffic F, who was directing traffic on the 155th street bridge. The autolist was ordered held for the Homicide Court. High Homicide Rate May Be Erroneous High Homicide Rate May Be Erroneous Writer Finds Negro's Conviction Rate Is Much Higher Than Whites That the high homicide rates reported for colored people as compared with whites may be giving an entirely erroneous picture of the facts is stated by H. C. Brearley of Clemson College, writing in the December number of Social Forces, a quarterly magazine published at the University of North Carolina. Mr. Brearley points out that a high homicide rate occurs where Negroes are not present in large numbers, and that in the all-Negro town of Mound Bayou, Miss, there has been no murder in more than twenty years. Also, St. Helena Island, off the coast of South Carolina, inhabited almost exclusively by Negroes. "has also been remarkably free from crimes of violence." Infanticide seems also relatively much raiser among Negroes, he reports, and the women make up a smaller proportion of the colored homides than among whites. "Containty to general belief," says the writer, "Negroes seldom use razors as a means of committing murder." The high rate of conviction of colored persons compared with whites in Southern states is also an important factor in the situation. In South Carolina for the years 1920-1928 whites were found guilty in only 31.7 per cent of the cases, while Negroes were convicted in 64.2 per cent of the verdicts. "In this state, therefore," he writes, Negroes charged with murder or manslaughter are twice as liable to conviction as are the whites so charged. This difference is due, doubtless, to such factors as race prejudice by white jurors and the Negro's low economic status, which prevents him from securing 'good' criminal lawyers for his defense. Five Plead Guilty When Accused in Two Holdups Five defendants, three of whom are charged with robbing a milk driver and the other two with assaulting and attempting to rob a piano collector, plumed guilty when arraigned last Wednesday before Magistrate McKinry in Harlem Court, and were held without bail for the Grand Jury.

Fuller will have another hearing today. Church, who lives at 51 Riverside drive, said he came to Harlem to visit the Cotton Club on the morning of Dec. 18. The place was closed, he said, and Fuller approached him and offered to take the white man to another night club. The complainant said he accompanied Fuller in a taxcrab to West 139th street near Seventh avenue. When they entered the hallway of a tenement house, Fuller pointed a gun at him and ordered him to the roof, Church declared. On the top of the house Fuller was joined by another man who went through his pockets and robbed him of $7, a $25 wrist watch and his $75 overcoat, according to the manufacturer's story. He was forced to remove his shoes and threatened with kidnapping unless he telephoned friends and ask them to bring $1,000 ransom, Church said. After he pleaded that he could not raise the money at such an early hour, he was beaten and left on the roof with the warning not to leave within 25 minutes. The manufacturer did not report the robbery to police at the time. He returned to Harlem for a visit to the clubs Saturday night, accompanied by his wife. When ready to go home at 2:15 a. m.

A. ROGERS. CAIRO, Egypt. I HAVE just arrived here after a two months' trip to Somaliland, Abyssinia, and through the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Egypt. During this period I have worked hard in the hope of being able to give, as real as possible, an account of conditions in those countries—an account minus the "color" and the exaggerations. I find this preface necessary because I have been reading the account missed by the emperor and exiled counts of the coronation and of from Abyssinia because he smashed Abyssinia as they appeared in both the emperor's favorite airplane. Also the white and the colored press and that Julian was at the coronation have found much that I personally dressed in his regalia. know was not true, and also much that I think that has been misinterpreted. My articles will be by no means a defense of Abyssinia, but a statement of facts. Airplane Crash. The airplane incident played but a very minor part in the whole affair. The fact is that a early as September, that is a week after Julian had May I begin by correcting an impression about myself? I did not go as a guest of the Abyssinian government. I went in the hope of being able to give to colored Americans as true as possible an answer to some of the following questions: What is the "race" of the Abyssinians? Do they consider themselves a white people, as has been reported. What is their attitude towards colored Americans, and do they welcome them in their land? What is the real international situation in Abyssinia, and just why are the white nations of the world so much interested in it. What nation is the favored one there? One reads much of these things in books, but books are rarely written with the intention of stating facts. They are written for money, and usually side with those from whom most can be expected. In any case I found that the mental picture I had of the country from what I had read of it was almost wholly wrong. What are the commercial prospects, and as a field for Afro-American migration? These are some of the questions I wished to answer for colored Americans. From the Abyssinian government I received neither more nor less than the white reporters, and that was a press card and an invitation to the various affairs. These were secured for me through the courtesy of the American Legation. Each legation did the same for the reporters of its own nationality. I had expected no more nor did I ask for more. My articles of the coronation and the military review were perforate late because the cost of cablegrants was high—about 75 cents a word. A certain press agency has made it appear that it received a 1,000-word or more telegram from Addis-Ababa the day of the coronation. Personally I know this is not true. Moreover, as it happened that day, some of the leading European papers did not get their stories over, the wires were down—cut. I understand, by the Somalis, who are in the habit of doing so. I happen to know all who sent cablegraphs of the coronation. Only American Negro Present. I may state simply as a matter of truth that I was the only colored American present at any of the functions, including the coronation. Entry was by card and most difficult to obtain as the improvised church was a small one, and many, including Abyssinian of prominence, could not go' in. It is possible that D. R. Alexander an old colored resident, might have been at the coronation, as the Associated Press dispatch said, but I did not see him neither on the grounds nor in the small section reserved for visitors or anywhere else in the church. I call attention to this incident and shall say more about it in due time for this reason. The journey to Aybissinia was a difficult and costly one. Covering the affair was equally so. Moreover, the coronation was of first-class importance internationally, and hence of importance even to colored Americans, also. But if an editor can write up the affair merely by sitting in a swivel-chair, and produce a cable costing a $1,000, what's the use of ever bothering to take any palms or going to any expense?

Also that Julian was at the coronation dressed in his regalia. Airplane Crash. The airplane incident played but a very minor part in the whole affair. The fact is that a early as September, that is a week after Julian had left Paris for his second voyage to Abyssinia. I learned from official sources here in Paris that "Julian was not going to last long because he talked too much and said too many things that were not true." This inking of his approaching dismissal developed into a certainty the day after I was on the ship, for there I met a Mr. Bayane, a relative of the emperor, and the one who had taken Julian to Absyssinia and had got him his position. Mr. Bayane said that he intended to have Julian discharged, but before Mr. Bayane arrived in Addis-Ababa Julian was already in disgrace. It was difficult for me to get at the real truth of the affair short of asking the Foreign Minister or the Emperor himself, but I have good cause to believe that Julian was dismissed — for it practically amounted to that — because of his swanger and his talkiveness. He spotted very much to the press on his first visit, and as the emperor receives all the clippings from all the papers over the world concerning Absyssinia, it was easy for him to understand what Julian had been doing. Abyssinians, as a rule, talk very little to strangers. Information, especially concerning international affairs, is had with great difficulty from them, and only when their confidence has been won. With the leading nations of the world, including America, striving for the favored position in their land, they have to be diplomats. Here now was Julian, who was a colonel, and claimed that he was on a special mission for the emperor, smashing around like a bull in a china shop. That Julian ever came to the United States on a mission for the emperor was officially denied by Mr. Bayane before Julian had left America and later by the Paris Legation. He had left Abbyssina to return with his wife and child. I was told. This now I have reason to believe was nearer the truth but not the real cause of his trip. Moreover, even at Addis-Ababa, he talked too much. He lived for a time at a hotel run by a Frenchman, and here I was told he was forever talking against the French, and saying how he was going to discharge the French aviators. On the train he also had a quarrel with a French official. The French resented this; they have millions invested in a railroad there and are naturally going to protect their own interests. Moreover, the situation is a ticklish one in Abyssinia from a facial point of view. Conditions in U.S. Let me illustrate: I was telling a group of light-colored foreigners about color conditions in Americas. One of them offered to get an audience of 500 leading Abyssinians to hear me; whereupon one of them, a man in a high government position, in alarm, begged me not to do so. "If you were ever to tell the Abyssinians what you have been telling us about how they treat the colored people," he said, "they would rise and kill all the white people here. And since we are light-colored they would treat us in the same way, since they don't know the difference." I am giving his exact words. This may be true or not, but I am convinced that when the truth of America's treatment of her colored citizens gets to the ear of the darker peoples of the world, along with their own grievances, there is going to be hell to pay for all white people, good and bad, living among them. This is America's great contribution to the cause of universal brotherhood. Is it any wonder that the United States is anxious to keep her colored citizens at home? Julian, therefore, by his injudicious talk, created much difficulty. He was poisoned, it is said, by a French aviator, but his life was saved at the CAIRO, Egypt. Airplane Crash. "Bull In China Closet." PLA e Talk Too THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Jullan American Hospital. Soon after he left the country and this, I believed, was the real cause of his leaving—to get him out of the way for a time. Indeed, now that I reflect on it, this much was inferred by his talk to me. Julian Warmly Received. I have it on the word of the American Minister, Mr. Southard, that Julian was most warmly received by the Abyssinian people, and regarded as a hero after he had made his parachute descent. The emperor, I also learned, thought very highly of him, and conferred Abyssinian citizenship on him, the rank of colonel, and the gold Order of Menelik II, the same as he conferred on several high European diplomats, in addition to presents. For that first drop Julian received a purse of 40,000 francs from the Abyssinian people. The story that Julian left Abysinia penniless is also not true. A few days after his second arrival the emperor gave him 300 pounds ($1,500), but Julian, evidently expecting trouble, had sent all his money to America, with the result that when he was leaving he had none. Meeting him on my way to Addis-Ababa I lent him enough to telegraph to America for money, which sum he has since returned to me. He showed me a deposit slip of $1,400 in the Dunbark National Bank. Thus the story that he was dismissed chiefly because of the airplane accident is not true. I believe that the emperor is too humane and too much of a sport to have dismissed him for that. Airplane accidents are common. A few days after the corporation an experienced French aviator crashed his plane on the same field, while two others lost their lives in trying to reach the city. Confessed His Error. It was Julian's conduct. And he himself recognized that because in leaving me he confessed that he had talked too much, and advised me to be careful. He had as splendid a chance as any young Negro of the present day could have had, but he threw it away because of his love for exhibition and his swagger. I heard that he was in the habit of walking on streets with a whip, with which he would strike those of the humber people who did not move out of his way fast enough. It may be, as he said, that the aeroplane was tampered with by one of his enemies, and perhaps the emperor did not tell him in so many words to leave the country—the Abyssinians are a polite people and generally avoid hurting another's feeling—but I am sure enough was said to make Julian feel that it was best for him to go. It was also Julian's talkativeness that caused the story to come out as it did. He told me the story as I was sitting at a dinner table with a number of tourists who were going to the coronation. Two of them, French countesses, listened to him, and expressed their great sympathy for him, saying that they had never seen a man so downcast before.

Of the victims 24 were colored and one white. Georgia heads the list of lynchings states for the year, with seven mob victims; Alabama and Texas had four each, Mississippi three, Indiana and South Carolina two each, and Florida, North Carolina and Oklahoma had one each. The offenses which brought about the lynchings include not stopping an automobile when ordered, being active in politics, testingifying against a white man in court, quarrelling with a white man, murder, assault and attempted assault, robbery and, in one case, offense unknown. One of the mob victims, George Hughes, was burned alive in the jail at Sherman, Tex., and the body of George Johnson was publicly burned at Honey Grove, also in Texas. the total number of lynchings this year as forty-three.

Southern Law School To Study Lynching Cause ATLANTA, Dec. 29.—The Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching last week announced that the University of North Carolina Law School would undertake a survey of the laws now on the state statute books regarding the prevention of lynching and other crimes of mob violence, the apprehension and punishment of lynchers and the effectiveness of methods for preventing and punishing "such disgraceful episodes." The announcement by Chairman George Fort Milton, white, editor of the Chattanooga News, also stated "if such a step seems necessary," the project would include preparation of a uniform anti-lynching law for presentation to the various states for their adoption. As causative factors of mob violence discussed at a meeting here the commission listed "tensions resulting from economic competition of racial groups, the interacting effect of pauperized education and community backwardness and the cultural and religious backgrounds of communities in which lynchings occur."

Andrews, special legal assistant of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the complainants. Mrs. Inez Richardson Wilson, who plays the part of "Eve." D. K. Will lams, a member of the "Green Pastures" choir, and three other members of the cast reported to the N. A. A. C. P. that on the night of December 11, as they were preparing to take a taxicab to go home after the performance, a traffic officer ordered the taxicab driver to move on as they were entering the car. Mrs. Wilson insisted upon her right to enter the taxicab in safety, whereupon the police officer began abusing her and others present, using vile and obscene language. To Mrs. Wilson the officer remarked: "Now, girlie, how would you like to spend the night in a cell?" The officer is also reported to have attacked white stage hands who had come to the rescue of the party in the cab. The party, after having been given a wrong address by the police of the West Forty-seventh street station, went to the West Forty-fifth street police station and there filed charges of intoxication and of conduct unbecoming an officer against the police officer. The N. A. A. C. P. promptly stated all the facts in a letter to Police Commissioner Mulrooney, demanding immediate action in punishment of the offending police officer. In view of the admission of his guilt by the police officer, the complainants are asking that the police commissioner discipline and punish him, despite his apology.

Stubborn Coughs Ended by Recipe Mixed at Home Stubborn Coughs Ended by Recipe Mixed at Home Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up a stubborn, fingering cough. It is easy to use, but costs little, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics. If you are any suspect, at 2% ounces of Pinex, you can mix the pills in a bottle and the bottle with plain granulated sugar grub or strained honey. You thus make a full pint of better remedy than you would with the cost. It never spoils and tastes so good that even children like it. Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflamed throat but also it is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throwing off the cough. It loosens the germs in the air and helps to prevent a way that is really astonishing. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of croscose, in known medicine is more helpful in cases of distressing coughs, chest colds, and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It does give prompt relief or money refunded. NEW YEARS' GREETINGS Tarrytown, N. Y.

Organizations Turn to Plans for Aid To Unemployed and Poor in New Year Harlem Committee, Stunned by Halt in Eviction Stays, Opens Drive for Funds— Hundreds Fed During Holidays NEARBY SOCIAL AND CIVIC NOTES With the Christmas holiday behind them, Harlem's unemployment relief committees and welfare organizations yesterday turned their attention to making 1931 happier for thousands of the poor by the economic depression in 1930. Christmas was a banner day in the history of giving in Harlem. It is believed that no persons who knew of the dinners and clothing offered went without raiment or food during the holidays unless they were lettered by pride. Destitute on Increase. The Salvation Army, 48 West 135th street, reported an increase during the week of individuals and families applying for food and clothing. Over 200 garments were distributed and an appeal has been broadcast for an increase in men's clothing from contributors. A tailor who preferred to remain anonymous called at the garments Monday and left a large number of unclaimed suits to be distributed. During the illness of Adjutant Lambert Bailey, who is confined to his apartment at the headquarters, Miss I. G. Dawkins is directing the investigation of families applying for relief. Rent is being paid by the Salvation Army in two boarding houses for a limited number of homeless men, and are being honored by one of the large charity contracts between the firm and the Army for families who are in particularly desperate straits. Can't Stop Evictions Consternation was caused at headquarters of the Harlem Co-operating Committee Monday by the announcement coming from the Mayor's Committee offices that they are powerless further to stay the hands of marshals in eviction cases. Prior to Monday's announcement 153 evictions had been stayed by the efforts of the Harlem committee, but soon after word had reached the office of the acuteness of the situation downtown in eviction in Harlem was reported. It is out that the great pressure is being exerted by boards all over the city to curtail the leniency heretofore extended destitute tenants. A luncheon to which over 100 leading citizens of Harlem were invited was held yesterday at the Abuysinian (Continued from Page Six.) ning the senior choir, under the dian- gion of Mrs. Estelle Thompson, rendered the Christmas cantata, "His Natal Day." A mortgage burning was held at A. M. E. Zion Church under the lead- ship of the pastor, the Rev. J. R. Walters, recently. The ceremony was made possible by a bequest in the fall of a deceased member, Miss Alice Kirk, to the grand rally, which ended last Sunday, took over 9,000 was raised by the men's and women's clubs, under the captaincies of Mack Nelson and Mrs. Pearl Williams. Williamsbridge, N Y. BY EDYTHE ROBERTSON. The Christmas tree exercises of the two larger church schools were held their respective churches on last evening.

Feeding 350 Daily. The Harlem committee also announced that it is still feeding from 350 to 400 people a day through the co-operation of several churches, and that it continues to pay room rents in eleven cases of destitute persons. Resources for this feature of its work were being exhausted yesterday. The Florence Mills Association, 115 West 131st street, is serving duty to unemployed and overseas persons. It has been announced. Except in very special cases, the emergency work plan is now able to give relief only to heads of families with children living in New York City, and the tenure of this relief is regarded as uncertain. The Acadian Girls' Club fed 288 persons Saturday at the Witoka Club, 222 West 145th street, which was donated for the purpose by Ed. Wilson, proprietor of the Oliga Hotel. The Harlem Motors Club of P. S. 99 congratulated 30 children Thursday at the New Douglas Theatre through the courtesy of Frank Schiffman, white The United Sabbath Day Adventist Church, 144 West 131st street, fed 248 persons during the period which began Christmas Day and ended Sunday. Many of the destitute were given money. The church will serve dinners to scores of needy New Year's Day.

May yours be a safe and sane one. Since everyone is talking about resolutions, I suppose I will have to join the crowd. As the column deals with looks, a few resolutions on the subject would be timely. Let's all resolve to cut out unnecessary doctors bills. Of course, there are always bills, but we are not responsible, but many are caused by our own carelessness, laziness or stupidity. Let's follow the simple rules of health. Drink plenty of water, get as much fresh air as possible. Exercise. Eat the proper kind of food. These things must be done, if you want good health. You will have to exert conscious effort to do regularly the things that you know will benefit you. We know what to do. The trouble is that we are just too lazy to do it until it is oftimes too late. Let's all resolve to seek good health in a big way, and, incidentally, good looks will follow. Bagleys to Remain Here Over Winter MAY ALL YOUR The Anthony Bagleys are spending the winter at their summer home in Sheepshead Bay, which will be the first they have spent in the United States in several years.

The New York Amsterdam News From Cellar to Garret A Department for the Exchange of Ideas on Homemaking MAY ALL YOUR DAYS BE HAPPY DAYS 1931 For the New Year MRS. HOUSEWIFE, if you've vowed to not make another New Year's resolution, simply because you broke all of those you made last January, you've made a mistake. As long as you have to plan and cook for a family, you have a good opportunity to improve your household management and economy. So, tomorrow you might as well resolve to do the following things: 1. To give your family its meals at the kitchen. 2. To serve well-cooked, wholesome and balanced meals at all times. 3. To change daily the menu for breakfast, luncheon and dinner. 4. To read a reputable household magazine and keep up with the recipes and suggestions offered therem. 5. To keep a cleaner and more orderly house throughout the year; or to get some one to keep it for you, if you know you are not a successful housewife. 6. To keep yourself neat and clean at all times, even when your husband is not at home with you. 7. To make your home so inviting, so cheerful and comfortable that everybody in the family will prefer your home to going to the home of some one else. Cooking Hinta If you wish to keep raisins, currants, fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of your cake, never add them to the mixture until the beaten eggs have been added and before you add the milk. Instead of whipping cream in a bowl, try whipping it in a pitcher. This will prevent the cream from clustering. Substitute molasses cookies for candy. Tray furnish iron and also satisfy that sweet craving that children have. Make molasses cookies often. Don't let your house smell of cook- Marriage Licenses Issued Last Week Alams, Thomas, 44, 184 West, 146th street; Mrs. Edmila, Elliott, 25, Wollen, S. C.

Rub it occasionally with glycerin and the rubber will keep in good condition without cracking. To brighten a mirror, rub it with a clean cloth dipped in a cream made with glycerin and cold water, to which a few drops of water have been added. Polish well with old newspapers. If you have to wash a sweater, sew the buttonholes together so that they will not stretch out of shape. Are your bath towels dingy? Well, put them in the dishwasher, soap and a little lemon juice. Heat the water to a boiling point. Rinse in lukewarm water and hang in the sun. Cold water makes bath towels hard.

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN New Year's Greetings THE New Year is here. My, how time dome fly! Besides thinking about what we're going to eat, most of us think of what we are going to resolve. We resolve, but do we resolve to do what we resolve? Let's start off, then, with a resolution to do what we resolve to do. Whether it's one thing or one dozen things, let's do the one or the dozen. That's the first resolution. The first hundred are the hardest, you know. Let all agree on resolution numbers two—to save! Let's save, if it's a week. Save something. You can do it. You have to meet other obligations, why not make saving an obligation? Let's resolve to spend wisely and share wisely, and this will be our third resolution. What shall number four be? How about self-improvement? Let's determine what our weak points are and get busy on them. That's a job that will last the entire year. Number four, then, is character improvement. Number five? Let's resolve to seek better health. Body improvement we'll call it. Number six? Mental improvement. That's quite necessary. Now I've started you with six. Add as many as you wish and accept my best wishes for a Happy New Year. EGYPSY ANN. With the FRATS The Scrollers' Club of Kappa Alpha Psi debated with the Crescents' Club of Phi Beta Sigma last Sunday at St. Mark's Lycum, the question: "Resolved, that due to the economic depression, birth control is a necessity." The Scrollers, with Henry A. Moultrie as manager, defended the affirmative. On his team were Carlton Sayers, Raymond L. Facey and Leroy Peterson. The Crescents were represented by Marcus Clark, Paul Code and David Gordon. No decision was redered. The Scrollers have organized a basketball team and are ready for all pledge clubs. Leroy Peterson, 35 West 115th street, is manager. A. A.

First Appearance of Noble Sissle and His Ambassadeurs Orchestra a Fizzle First Appearance of Noble Sissle and His Ambassadeurs Orchestra a Fizzle Rockland Palace Like Goldsmith's Deserted Village When Amsterdam News Reporter Appeared on Scene to Investigate "I told Roy Lancaster," said Noble Sissle last Wednesday night to a representative of The Amsterdam Palace at Rockland Palace, "that even in the world of the theatre this night (Christmas Eve) is one of the worst on which to stage any kind of an affair, but the plans had been made and I always keep my word." Mr. Lancaster made the best of a bad situation, and mighty bad it was from a box office standpoint, for the Rockland Palace gave a correct idea of what Oliver Goldsmith must have had in mind when he wrote his "Deserted Village." Was Sissle not a good showman the lack of attendance at the Rockland Palace last Wednesday night would have broken his morals and it would have been with a heavy heart he would have left for his port appearance in a distant city. Page Eight BestAmusement in Greater New First Appearance of His Ambassadeur Rockland Palace Like Village When Amster Appeared on Sce "I told Roy Lancaster," said No representative of The Amsterdam N in the world of the theatre this night on which to stage any kind of an affa always keep my word." Mr. Lancaster made the best of was from a box office standpoint, for idea of what Oliver Goldsmith must "Deserted Village." Was Sissle notance at the Rockland Palace last Morals and it would have been with a port appearance in a distant city. What the promoters failed to take into consideration was that the day of the public presentation of bands unless backed up by other novelties passed when the flags of Happy Rhone, Ford Dabney, Fletcher Henderson and the rest of them came down, and it is only on those occasions when it is known that an outstanding orchestra will surround any gigs or outnumber any presentation do the people turn out in large numbers in the great city of New York. And many times this must be basked up by an organization with some public appeal. The dance public get all the leading orchestras right in the heart of Harlem at the Savoy Ballroom, and to ask them to make a trip to the formerapping school in Edison, New York, asking a great deal for an orchestra even on a holiday night, for in three days an orchestra on a holiday night must take into consideration that outside of a dance the world's champion basketball team known as the Renaissance Five adds its thills to the night's feast. Some leading white combination of ball tossers right here at the Renaissance Casino. It must also be remembered that Noble Sissle has enough reputation without trying to bolster it up by sending out stories which would have one believing that the good French people made a pilgrimage to the shores of France and dropping upon their knees implored the former assailant to join them. Hope not to leave France—even for a trip to the old home at Christmas time. New York will swallow plenty, but not this form of appeal, for it must be remembered that the people here worthwhile must come, although out in the sticks yokels will fall for such—maybe. New Yorkers hope that before the former "Shuffle Along" star leaves for Europe he will appear in theaters and friends will get a chance to see him under aspiches to which he is accustomed, and we doubt not that Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette will keep his friends and the orchestra at least a week. With the return of Miller and Lyles as a team friends of Sissie and Blake are hoping that the four men will come together again and attempt to give the theatregoing public a real musical comedy show along the lines that made their "Shuffle Along" the hit. It was a successful show, know claim that Broadway is all set for a good old-fashioned musical comedy created and acted by Negroas in as the old calls and that such a show can call its shots if ever produced. The Sissie-Blake-Miller-Lyles combination is one that can be classed as among the most outstanding. For Blake is a musician, Sissie a song writer and singer, Miller a playwright, part of the cast, each one can do something and make 'em like it. Song Writers Top the Alhambra Bill This Week Thomas Waller, whose name has been carried all around the world by his amazing succession of song hits—but "Fair" Waller to his friends in laramie, smiling his famous brand out into his bower of bows at the Alhambra Theatre this week in "Hallo, 1831." His pal, Alex Zell, looks out from the other side of the glowing rose garden and their song hits float out one after another. He sealed door opens and Margaret Beckett and Theresa Mason trip out and render other songs by Waller and Hill. Roland Holder dances and the Silver Slipper Girls carry the act to a brilliant climax. Eddie Lemons and Stringbeans Price and headlining headlining Cooper is garnished as always. Selena Johnson sings pretty and Pearl Howell executes a difficult Russian dance. The Liberty Magazine's famous characters Sandy and Lil, come to life in the world of whooping adventures. The footnotes are Jack Mulhall, Elliott Nugent, Sally Starr and Margaret Livingston. There will be an extra midnight show at the Alhambra on New Year's Eve. Wednesday, besides the regular midnight show Saturday. AL JOLSON IN "BIG BOY" AT THE ODEON Al Jolson, accompanied by a group of colored singers, sings some beautiful spirituals in "Big Boy," which will be shown at the Odeon on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Jan. 3, 4 and 6. If you like the歌, voice is particularly suited to spirituals, voice and because the scene is so beautifully laid and directed this is one of the most interesting sequences of the picture. In his latest picture, "Big Boy," which is an adaptation from the famous stage play of that name which can for the year, and because the star, Jolson proves once more that the foremost condition of the country. He can make his audience laugh with just the way he turns his head and rolls his eyes. Nobody can talk and stories as Jolson can. The cast includes Louise Closson, Hale, Claudia Bell, Boyd Eddie Phillips, Lew Harvey, Franklin Rattle and John Harron. SISSLE AND HIS BAND IN ILL-TIMED START But a Baker's Dozen Out to Concert at Rockland Palace The Return of Sir William Pierce IF PERCHANCE we seem inclined to draw a mind picture of Billy Pierce which would show him strolling through the quiet streets in his home town at Jamaica, L. L. correctly attained for his morning stroll, which will include his own pique in the air, perhaps a pipe, you cannot blame us for Billy returned from London last week and we seriously doubt there's an Enziblainman in all England to convey to us a better conception of what we think of the British Empire under the direct influence of the Union Jack should be. And this even to the purging of the lips. The genial Mr. Pierce absolutely refused to be ridiculed out of his acquisition of the mode of British speech, which proves him a person of whom the word 'Englishman' is proud, when an Enziblainman is set against a thing you waste your time trying to laugh him down. A raising of the eyebrows and the excitation of 'my word' turn the tables and you are crushed, and the rudder becomes the superior contempt which only an Enziblainman can produce with so much effect. When the subject of this article left for England he was to us just plain Billy Pierce, but when we had the pleasure of greeting him last Tuesday evening at our quarterly meeting at least the Honorable Bill E. Pierce, better still, Sir William Pierce, and we would not have been surprised if during the conversation, we had found ourselves addressing him as "your worship." "And how," we asked Sir William, "did you like your stay in England?" "Topping, old dear," he replied. And from then on we on silently congratulate him with a great deal of time refreshing him by reading copiously the works of English authors, to find later that we could read and fully appreciate the humor of W. W. Jacobs, to whose works we were introduced by the late Alex Leake, and to whose works we would still be foundering around trying to understand Sir William. We are willing to wager if you set Billy down among a bunch of the most rabid Negrophobes in this country they would forget their race prejudice by his speech and British manner, for even a baker will tell you that the average American is the culture of the British, and what is concerned the next highest office sought by Americans is that of Ambassador to the Court of St. James. But, all joshing aside, you will readily appreciate our high esteem for Billy Pierce and can now see why it has been a pleasure to devote quite some space to him in the past. During the few months that Billy has lived in London he has shown that rare quality of character ever disclosed by any amoun Outside of his splendid work for the Cochran interests, Billy Pierce has discovered much of interest in London, where American Negroes are concerned, where African Americans which he regarded as with his observation have certain truth never approached by any correspondent writing for any of the Negro newspapers. That Leigh Whipner should have been insisting an hour before the arrival of Billy that the dramatic editor of the Amsterdam News wrote that the next spring was induced a coincidence for such an idea entered most insistently the head of the editor after Mr. Pierce had spent a half-hour in speaking of his trip and his observations. So, to London and Paris next spring he went to the Amsterdam News dramatic editor. Mr. Pierce had a certain interest which will benefit readers by a true investigation of the status of American actors and musicians now in Europe. From Noble Sissle we have it that Billy Pierce has made one of the finest impressions ever made of African Americans. and Sissie is of the opinion that, if the show in which Billy Pierce has placed his dances should be brought to America, it will be a sensation. "The Brits in frill," Mr. Sissie, with their fair for perfection for dances that they do, have accepted with clarity the form of these dances introduced by Mr. Pierce. The English young ladies doing the dances are letter perfect with their precision and particular care for dancers. "As an idea, imagine a bunch of Tiller Girls perfecting the dances as done by our own choruses and you have a pretty good idea of what has been done. Don't boast of having witnessed dances until you see the English young ladies by Billy Pierce for the big and most of what is at his Majesty's Theatre in London. So, we can forgive Billy for having foot the er, somewhat crude manner. The tree on Alley for the culture of Bond Tree can assure you, is something, for Billy we assure you, is the kind given to accretion, and we only regret that circumstances are of such it is impossible for our readers to enjoy a half-hour's conversation with a half-participated American of color. The impartiality of Billy of Billion Pierce have taken him far in imbed, for when he speaks of Lord this or Lady that it is not with the attitude of trying to impress you with being able to have his rare accomplishment in being able to present his personas, he statement in passing came because of his contact through Another Carey-Davis Show Hitting at the Lafayette The stage attraction at the Lafayette Theatre this week is entitled "New Year's Revels." It was staged under the direction of Charlie Davis. Addison Carey staged the dances and entertainment; Norman Horne composed the music; Sam Manning staged the comedy. The costuming is by Brooks Costumes Company and the scenery and electrical effects were designed by Chester France Studios. More mention of the cast indicates that the performance is one of the show: Ernest Whitman of "The Last Mile"; Sam Manning, Anderson's Eight Harmonica Marvels, Lucille Hegamin, the Melody Monarchs, the Five Hot Shots, Will Brown, Zudora, the famous Sixteen Careyotes and Chaude Hopkins. Careyotes and Chaude Hopkins. There will be a special New Year's Eve midnight show by this company and some added attractions. Tickets are now on sale. The management announces a performance which will make all who attend forget their woes and New Year with a burst of happiness. The feature talking picture is "The Girl of the Golden West." Two things make it a great picture: It is the work of no less a person than David Belasco and the star is Ann Harding. than whom there is not a greater actress on the stage. CLARA SMITH IN RETURN DATE AT THE ALHAMBRA Jolly Clara Smith will be back in town in time for the Alhambra's "January Jubilee," which starts next Monday and her humorous "Advent to glide" are always a source of much gagery. That comedy team last seen with the Whitman Sisters, Hunter and Robbie Bentley plenty of new fun. The Four Dwarfs disply their dance novelties, and Gertie Chambers has a sparkling net. Bob Steele will be the tale hero of "The Land of Missing Men," in which wild adventure, suspense and surprise dance music to hear their dance novelties. Open West is the picturequeque background of this startling talkie. CLEEBRITIES IN ROOSE-VELT THEA, OFFERINGS Maurice Chavallier brings a new kind of love in "The Marvel of Paris," imagines the Inimitable Chavallier seconded in love and laughter by Stuart Iwain and then sees on the same program "Saint James," with Dick Arlen, Eric Palllette and Miki Green, at the Roosevelt on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 1 and 2. A new and greater triumph by the star of "Common Clay" will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, sides and Monday, Jan. 3. 4 and 5. It is "Common Holiday" voted by critics as one of the finest talking pictures ever produced. Constance Bennett gives a performance which, if possible, is even more appealing than her role in "Common Clay." In addition she wears some of the most beautiful Parisian gowns—a style show which every woman will admire. the work he was called to England to do. Billy Pierce established a real home at Jamaica some years ago, which is presided over by one of the most charming of his graces, to which he addition of two children, to which he returned for the Christmas holiday and which he will again be leaving to complete his duties in England on January 3, returning to the United States six weeks later to continue his work at his downtown office.

Has Long Fostered Idea and Has Been Feeding Many Unemployed Past Weeks Editor's Note: As we go to press word comes to us that Teddy Blackmon, representing the Alhambra Playboys and the Association, represents the Alhambra Playboys and the Association and offered to co-plan a benefit in behalf of the unemployed being fed through the association. A splendid move indeed, and no source that can help the successful presentation of such a benefit will fall to do its share. An organization or an individual cannot continue to show personal interest in a number of people long without having it into about, and thus it is in the case of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association on 13th street, which capped the time of the Tuesday afternoon when a Christmas dinner that would have made the hearts of the gods glad was uncovered employed actors. Traveling along the hardest road of the officers of the association have been getting together moneys which have made it possible to give dinners to at least fifty performers every night during the past few weeks, and with the spirit of Christmas imbubing them, greater efforts were put forth and the result was not only dinner during Christmas afternoon and evening for about a hundred actors, but an atmosphere made doubly enjoyable by the decorations which carried a touch of the spirit of the times to those less favored in life. Appropriately decorated by willing hands that sught no pay for what they did, the room of the association reflected the true spirit of welcome to the heavy laden, and after dinner many remained to enjoy the comfort in the warm rooms where they made merry until a late hour. As dinner approached the hourly room from Brooklyn bearing a message from the Reverend Thomas S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Church. Happy New Year! By S. Tutt Whitney. HERE'S hoping that Kid Prosperity will knock out Battling Adversity in the first round of the New Year. If you hear a loud muffling noise and son "Tell the members of the association and the people of Harlem," said Rev. Harten's message. Harlem has been worked from the scene of their activities. I pledge my support to the worthy work they are doing and am only sorry that gospel men in Harlem have not realised that they are always giving freely of their services not only for the entertainment of the masses, but in behalf of all humanity. "Within the next week or so I will send you the association so that they can carry on their work. Our resources have been sorely taxed during these days of unemployment, business depression and for us, mas, but no enough money to us, but our brothers and sisters of the stage need a helping hand." For months the members of the association have been seriously thinking of attempting to employ them in this city, and while no move towards that end had been made, they feel that the time is ripe for such. Many feel the since they have been doing so firmly and easily the work of feeding their own for the past few weeks that any benefit staged in behalf of the Negro unemployed performer should be staged under the auspices of the organization, proven their right to the consideration of those who would help the actor by the work they have been doing, and considering that the Negro is the most important own people in Harlem many are of the opinion that the biggest benefit yet to be staged should be in behalf of those who came forward willingly on numberless occasions to help ```markdown ``` It is said that Mare Connellly's "The Green Pastures" will give a show at the Mansfield Theatre for the association of the pastures, which bound to bring in quite a few dollars to the associations as it will be a regular performance and not a special midnight affair. Arrangements are also on foot at the annual dinner New Year's Day so as to give those in need of it some courage to carry on during the New Year", said Leigh Whipple, seen at the New York News representive Plans are also on foot for a special entertainment for actors now appearing at many theatres in New York, a kind of expression in the application of the message in the bulk in life for the success of their own. COMEDY BOASTS ENOCH ARDEN SITUATION A modern version of the Enoch Arden situation is the story behind the theater, the Army Boss, feature at the Sunset Theatre, 135th street, west of Eighth avenue, Tuesday and Wednesday. A man whose genius with comedy is never better than the actor, the politically active theatrical both the victim and the hero of the picture. A Frenchy force that suddenly twists itself into real drama, "The Matrimonial God" gives him his first great opportunity with which he is the most familiar. The interesting cast includes Florence Kidridge, Frank Fay, Lilyan Tashman, Beryl Mercer, James Glamour, Brunhart, Sir in important character parts, Michael Curri directed. LOVE BOAT HORRORS EXPOSED AT DOUGLAS The terrible traffic in bodies of young Chinese girls is brought to light for the first time in a sensational manner in the screen version of the famous play "The King of the Hill," which will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Jan. 3, 4 and 5.

HERE'S hoping that Kid Prosperity will knock out Battling Adversity in the first round of the New Year you have had to matting nails and see a lot of leaves fluttering about, don't mistake it for an autumn hawken. I'm just making room in my New Year book for some fresh pages. Here goes its resultant Virus, at least, and we much wrong with myself or the old Year. My dressing room mates, Jimmy, Lou and Homer, say I'm all wrong; they even excuse me of having two left feet, so I'm resolved to spend much of my time brightening them to the quality and I never lie, only upon occasion and in defense of my associates when they get into difficulties with their wives and sweethearts. At such times a wives and sweethearts are resolved: That I cut down on my smokes, that I cut down on the number of smokes I give away to converse pandanhels. Lou is always just out of cigarettes and Jimmy never has any mood. The mood is a positive mood. My digs do not constitute an item of expense since I smoke the cigars the "hawd" refuses in the first fish-fry. The Lawd gives me another when he sits at the table with me, and the curtain closes so he takes it away from me and smokes it himself. Women are an expensive luxury, when they are not a mea, so be it resolved: That for the forthcoming year, women are not a mea, so that is, the society of all but beautiful women. Even so, I am not likely to colonize, because it is my firm belief that all women are beautiful; beautiful; because every woman is a prospective teacher; because every woman is a beholder to which a woman can attain. Be it resolved: That I will save every penny good in my actual expenses. Sounds good. If it were possible or even practical, wouldn't we be sitting in a room that must play sometimes. And a fellow should always have friends, and real friends will always help a friend when a friend needs help. Be it resolved: I broke and healthy and happy this time next year as I am this year. Happy New Year to everybody! Immediately after the regular show Gramsma was held at the kiddies of "Green Pastures" stepped before the footbills and gave a very irregular performance of "The Green Pastures" in a very regular manner. That is, they performed the difficult roles of the regular show with the same skill, a history and high appreciation for dramatic values evidenced by the regular actors, and then some. The theatre was crowded to witness the performance of thezz. Thezz was the first performance of thezz by Robbie, Miss Doyle, Mr. Connelly, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Robes, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Archer, the Chanlin brothers and Mr. Kline were there—all who made "The Green Pastures" possible. Then there was the full-dress brigade, ladies and gentlemen and quality, Newspaper critics and reviewers. And a host of relatives and friends of the actors and stage crew. I was an illuminating, thrilling and thoroughly enjoyable character. He was very The Lawd's work was so closely that Richard B.

After the show refreshments were served back stage. The nuisance was the fact that the entertainment and it made a noble response. Miss Irish Carl, official guardian of the cherubs, deserves the major share of credit for the huge success of the show, devoted two weeks' work to rehearsals and the making of costumes. It was a labor of love. Daniel Haynes officiated as master of ceremonies and enlisted the help of a few claddies were on the receiving end for nearly a caroll of presents.

These two members of the company are Mr. Makuhe and Miss Helen Allen. Jamaica Branch N.A.A.C.P. Girding for Battle Against Discrimination --- The Jamaica Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People aside from being one of the most active in helping the parent body, is one of the most militant and recently went on record as being prepared for the big battle which looms in the fight against theatre discrimination in Jamaica. L. is becoming more evident each day. Recently many complaints have been filed with the association by people who assert that certain theatres are fragrantly ignoring the law and not only try to segregate the audience but refuse to seat purchasers of tickets in the orchestra despite the fact that these people carry coupons calling for such seats. D. Charles S. Reid, president of the Jamaica Branch, is very much wrought up over what he terms a direct insult to law abiding property holders who innocently go to these theatres seeking entertainment and having tickets to see theaters of ushers working under the direct orders of theatre managers. The courts will be called upon within the near future to pass upon the law, which has been invoked because of the plans of the association go through, for test cases will be made after failure upon the part of Negroes to secure the seats which their tickets call for. We are going to have to fight these managers so bent on denying colored people their rights, said Dr. Reid the other day. "Eternal vigilance is the price we must pay for the liberty which we would enjoy—that is, by the Constitution of the United States, but by a law on the statue books of this state. We are noon, at 2:30 o'clock, Jan. 23, for the benefit of the unemployed colored actors and actresses under the Massey Association and the Mr. Stebbins and Mr. Stewart will donate the production and performance, Mr. Connellly will donate the facilities for the special performance.

KIDDIES XMAS A HAPPY ONE AT THE ALHAMBRA Two thousand children were made happy at the free Christmas show given by the Alhambra Theatre. There was a large crowd to show, all carefully created to please the kiddies. There was the usual half dozen of lost children, who were taken up to the stance and paraded and dislaced until they were claimed by their olders. The North Harlem Community Council distributed candy and fruit, and the Boy Scouts rendered valiant service in the children and avoiding mishaps. REGAL CLUB TO GIVE FRATERNITY DANCE SAT. The Resal Club will stage a fraternity dance and reception at the Renaisance Casino in the coming Election Year, placing the place among the host of its kind offered during the current season.

Dr. Reid came to Jamaica many years ago and enjoys a large practice of this long-lived resident of this Long Island town, where he has also enjoyed wide popularity because of his personality, his civic betrayment and progress for the people of his race. Former Broadway Entertainers Here Forty-Piece Band and Stars at the Lafayette Next The announcement concerning next week's stage show at the Lafayette arena certain to cause a genuine thrill and a Word Peggy Mitchell Washington, and a forty-piece band are announced as the headline attractions in a spectacular revue that will be presented at the Beenecreating for the last three weeks! In addition to these headline attractions will also be such well-known entertainers Louis Vuitton, Tressy Mitchell, The Four Lindberghs, Bailey and Jones, "Crackshot" Hackney and the famous Harper beauty company, the forty-piece band is under the direction of Russell Wooding. He was engaged by the executives of the New York Central Railroad to orchestrate the show, and the employees are employed by the railroad. Wooding is one of our ablest musicians and conductors and the forty men under his direction have been welded into LAURA JEAN ROLL STAFF OF BROOKL LAURA JEAN ROLLOCK NOW ON THE STAFF OF BROOKLYN URBAN LEAGUE THE work of the Brooklyn Urban League will be very greatly enhanced by the addition to its staff of Mrs. Laura Jean Rollock, one of the borough's most beloved elders and her duties as financial secretary and publicity director on Jan. 2, 1931. Mrs. Rollock has business interests to those three assistants of hers whose length of service and business acumen complements her training and the idea of carrying on her activities in the making of charming gowns. To those who maintain a lingering interest in the ways of life and men, Mrs. Rollock's future work will not be considered as her own. The idea of proceeding a new and more adequately equipped building for the Brooklyn Urban League had its inception in the forlance bungalion of this versatile house. In her work, Mrs. Rollock has the group of Brooklyn's most responsible minded female workers and produced two consecutive editions of the Lincoln Settlement Fellows which met the requirements of a neat little room for the members of the fund set aside for this purpose. When the colored soldiers were being sent to France no provision was made allowing them to carry out their coeflief organizations serving overseas with the Negro contingent of combating troops. As a result of very strenuous objection from the French, Mr. Week Quaker City Likes The "Blackbirds" Show Got Off to a Sensational Start at Philadelphia House PHILADELPHIA, Fa., Dec. 26—It is the opinion of this邮局 that the happiest people in all Pennsylvania, and his big company of "Blackbirds," which opened at the Chestnut Street Theatre. Discounting the attempt of certain so-called Negro newspaper writers, it is reasonable to make that the current offering of the Broadway producer lacked entertainment. It would seem, if one is to judge from the enthusiasm of the received Christmas night, that Philadelphia is even more pleased with this show than with the No. 2 company of last year's production which had such a long run here. A careful survey of the consensus of opinion as gleaned from the reports of the newspaper articles shows that the Broadway production from early evening in the lobby of the theatre and only entered the house after the management had started to refuse to sell any more copies of the magazine. The show went over with a bang. Aplause was generous and encores were numerous. At the final curtain Philadelphia immediately stared to the crowd. "You're Lucky to Me" and "Memories," and before another week these two numbers will be the accepted hits of the City of Brotherly Love. The company were freely exchanged by the happy members of the company on the stage after the final curtain, and while there were many wishes extended for a berry Christmas, their joy indicated much hope for a Happy New Year. Miss Waters in Triumph. The outstanding feature of the entire presentation was the hit scored by Miss Edith Watsky. From the time this event was held, Miss Watsky easily holds the place as America's leading comedienne, appeared to the time she made her final exit she enjoyed in New York the critics here are lying in lavishing praise upon Miss Waters, who is today better than she ever was in her life, and she need not be told why she is being voiced holds out. Thousands of the people in this city are going to make the trip to the Guestroom Heart Opera House just to see and hear Ethel CONVICTS ENJOY WORK OF ENTERTAINERS No more hearty applause ever greeted the work of entertainers than that which about 1,500 convicts at Sing Sing in a special show last Sunday. Duke Ellington and three acts from the Cotton Club, two acts from Small's "Broadway" and the four acts from "Brown Buddies" in the ground of the orchestra, with special taping from Bill Robinson, rounded out what Ted Healy, who acted as master of ceremonies, made with his boxers, which included Max Rosendloom, Dave Shade and Tony Canzoneri, also appeared on the bill. as fine a band as one would want to hear. They will render all of the music for next week's show at the Red Can Follies. This will be the first time in about two years that charming, talented Ada Ward will be heard in a local theater. The show will be an edition of an earlier edition of the "Blackbirds" is still remembered. She has since starred in Connie's Inn and at the Cotton Club. "Peg" Bates, the theater manager, promises a new bag of steps and tricks. Since his sensational success at the Lafayette Theatre about three years ago, Bates has been starred in the show. He has also occupied headline positions. Mildred Washington is new to Harlem. In the middle West she is reputed to be the greatest colored musical dancer of the American stage. The Vitaphone feature which will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week will be a musical by Joyce Compton who stars. This is a cripping story of murder, intrigue and romance. The thrills which it will provide will make complete and beautiful which will be provided by "Red Cap Follies." Rollock and eighteen other women similarly minded were sent to the battle areas in Flinders as war workers. Rollock and his team remained until the last colored soldier was returned to the United States. Old residents of Brooklyn will recall that when damnable film, "The Birth of a Nation," was being filmed in Brooklyn, Laura Rollock was one of the three colored women whose picketing of that playhouse was so rigorous and vigorous that it resulted in their arrest. They were course, subsequently discharged. In 1922, when the N. A. A. C. P. issued its call for a million women to unite for the purpose of raising a million dollars with which the Yankees would be able to hear upon Congress to pass the Dyer Anti-Jackling Bill, Mrs. Rollock, pursuant to this call, organized and was chairman of the Brooklyn Division of the militia the most important work of which group received so very much commendation. It will also be recalled that Rollock, prior to becoming interested in Christian Science, was a member of St. One of the most remarkable assets of Mrs. Rollock is her unyane ability to children in the many ventures she has sponsored. The truth of this statement is easily seen when her work in the production of "The Thy Billiken" is called Jean Tells of Holiday Dances in Brooklyn IT is said that the very best fun to be the soldier in the academy and the And once every year Gay Gotham lends her carnival spirit to stall, old- fashioned Brooklyn, when the forty-one members of the Comus Club give their annual Christmas ball..... The Comus Club (where it is held as a guest, were arrayed in holiday attire...and the spirit of the evening was not far removed from the days of Lord Byron's "Ball."

"that I brought together, as far back as 1926, I think it was, a distinguished company of theatrical men, some of the foremost producers in New York. I told them at that time, 'Clean up from within or my opinion you will get censorship. As a result, ourselves, outside censorship will be forced upon you.' That warning holds as true today as it did then. "Where there is a flagrant exhibition of indecenty, action should be taken to punish those responsible. I believe that the indecenty of indecent plays were to be made more severe than at present, authorities could be able more effectively to keep the stage clean. But in the final analysis the stage itself can and must be made more indecenty. It is to avoid a rigorous censorship." Mayor Walker is himself a close friend of many of those high in the theatrical world and is familiar with their problems. The representatives of the police or from the Mayor's office honored one of the local theatres with the famous once over a week or two ago, it is more than likely that some action presented by the Mayor's office present a dance which was one of the most vulgar things seen in Harlem for years. This newspaper has not gone out of its way to prevent the public from witnessing which at times seems to force its way upon the yokeliness because it was understood that observers were to come to Harlem and quietly carry through a program that would put a stop to these exhibitions of rank vulgarity. The trouble with the police authorities in this city where this section of the city is not judging from the testimony of the Senor Acuna in the vice disclosures. It is about time that enough civic pride be shown by our leaders to force the police to be bent for presenting the lowest form of entertainment to at least draw a line somewhere, so hoped that the same sincerity, to which the Mayer of the City of New York showed in accepting the invitation of the dramatic editor of the Amsterdam News to stage in behalf of the Children's Fresh Air Fund will prompt him to see that Harlem is not left out in any program for the cleaning up of the theatre where vulgarity holds gray.

Orchestrations Conantily Used The achievements of William Grant Bill seem to be more generally known behind him than by his own. By is hoped that the following facts will reach those of you who do not know of the effective work this versatile musician has done and is doing. Aside from Mr. Still's ability as an instrumentalists wood-wind and string, he is outstanding in innatility, composer and has attained enviable technic in the field of orchestration. Ever since Mr. Still began composing (in 1925), commendable comments have appeared in the leading newspapers and musical magazines of the city where orchestras perform the "Sadhil," a ballet for chorus and bass soloist, with text by Richard Bruce and Alain Locke, has just been completed and is being considered for production. Favorable criticisms have recently appeared on his "Darker Americas," a symphony by the composer of "Africa," a symphony, played a few weeks ago by the Rochester Symphony Orchestra at American composers' concert, and by Barrere's Little Symphony, respectively. The latter is a composition of this year. Mr. Still is the only Negro included in the catalog of American composers, a distinction in 1930. Last year Mr. Still was engaged to orchestrate for Paul Whitman; and he was also admitted to membership in the Pan-American Association of Composers. In 1928, he was awarded for achievement in music; orchestrated the Broadway success, "Rain or Shine," and also made arrangements for orchestras broadcasting over Station WOR. A suite, "From the Black WELL," and the song "Song of the Winter," were published and "The Breath of a Rose"—workes of 1927. Orchestrating for Earl Carroll's Vanties; the composing of a ballet, "La Guilabesse"; two suites, "Leve Land," for soprano and small orchestra; also a duet, "A wanderer," for Darker America; were his contributions of 1928. "From the Land of Dreams," a suite for chamber orchestra and three voices used instrumentally, was performed in 1923 by the International Composers Group. During the period 1921-1924, when Mr. Still was staff arranger with Pace and Handy Music Company, he orchestrated for "Bunny Wild" show, played in Along' or orchestra, and was recording for Black Swan Photograph Company. Aside from his jazz symphonies (which are said by some writers to surpass Gershwin, Milhaud and others as genuine jazz), his popular music, this composer has written and arranged earned music, some of which is frequently used in the services of Grace Congregational Church, of which he is an active member. His success to the aid of God. "In making this assertion," he says, "I am not not seeking to give the impression that I lead an exemplary life, for this is not true. But I do depend on the revenues through which my efforts may be presented." Mr. Still was born in Woodville, Miss., in 1895. His father was musically inclined. His mother taught literature. He began the study of music in Little Rock, Ark. when he was a student of Wilberforce University. He studied at Wilberforce University and took composition under Chadwick. A scholarship enabled him to study with the eminent French composer and conductor, Edgar Varese. Orchestration by Mr. Still may be heard over WIZ at 9:30 on Thursday evenings in the Maxwell House Hour. Roland Hayes, in his second rectal of the season in Carnegie Hall, was heartily received Sunday evening, as usual, by a large audience. His voice was just as clear, flexible and penetrating as we have so often heard it before. The program was divided into four groups, Italian, German, French and English. Handel's "Pack Clouds Away" and Beethoven's "Adelale" were excellent renditions in the first. Schubert and Brahms' songs comprised the second group and "Night of the Lost Son," was most generously aplauled. The third, a modern group of songs by Debussy, Griffes and Slonimsky, were very much enjoyed. Massone's "Manon," always exquisitely sung by Mr. Hayes, was sung as an encore by the spirituals, "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel," "Way Up in Heaven," "Good News" and "Nobody Knows de Treubble I've Seen," the last being sung unaccompanied. The insistent audience demanded several encounters and it. It was hard to listen to the accompaniments played so artistically by Perfur Parham. Splendid Concert A large audience heard and enjoyed the fourth month concert of the Monarch Symphonic Band. Sunday afternoon at the Girls' Junior High School. The program contained some rather difficult numbers, but they TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF PAUL ROBESON in SONG RECITAL were well rendered. The conductor is Leit, Fred W. Simpson. Wagner's "Tamhauser" Overture, Leoncavallo's Prologue and Intermezzo from "Pagliacci" and Sibellus' Tone Poem, "Finlandis," were included in the program. The song "Regina Harding, dramatic soprano, who sang 'Consider and He Me' and 'The Lord Is My Light,' accompanied at the piano by Marion Pettiford. The speaker was Dr. Charles A. Butler who, in his address, spoke for the most part on the back of the piano. Fred R. Moore was asked to give a short talk during the offering. The next concert will be given the last Sunday afternoon in January. St. James' Church Gives Christmas Musicale A very beautiful service of Christmas music was given Sunday evening by the St. James' Presbyterian Church Choir, under the direction of the Rev. William Lloyd Imes. This music gave an excellent example of preparedness and co-operation between pastor and choir, the result being a coherent service conducted with dignity and dispatch. The choir gave an excellent performance, and the choir sang the First part. "The Niocene Creed" opened the program, followed by the solo, You's "Jesu Bambino," sung by Doris Trottman Earle, soprano. Mrs. Earle seemed to be at her best; heriones being rich and full and her diction clear. Her choir sang the second part of the Mass "Agnus Del and Sanctus," Russell Stewart, bass, sang Mendelssohn's "Lord God of Abraham," followed by the pastoral address by the Rev. Mr. Imes. "A Hymn in Praise of the Lord of Heaven," Nagher, was sung by a sextet of female voices, unaccompanied. Arthur Wilson, tenor, gave an admirable interpretation of Mendelssohn's "Waterman, Will the Night Come," and the duet "Dulcis Qui Vent" of the Mass; also Coleridge-Taylor's "Magnificent," while the offering was being lifted. The final two numbers were Huhu's "A Child Was Born in Bethlehem," effaced by the use of "Ospirano, and "Gloria in Excelia," from the Mass sung by the choir. Noted Musicians Attend C. M. E. Church Musicale Those appearing on the impressive musical program sponsored by the Williams Institutional C. M. E. Church, 210 West 130th street, Montgomery, Alabama. Director of curious musical instruments, Kelvin Keech, Hawaiian ulele soloist; Westen Gordon, lyric tenor and song writer; Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Williams, Louise Bave and the Southernaires Quarterette, namely, William Williams, Harvey Smith, Jay Tay and Lowell Peters. The Southernaires Quarterette very beautifully sang "Swanee River," "Moonlight on the Colorado," "Boys of the Olc Brigade" and "Mighty Like a Rose." Too much cannot be said about the large group of excellent entertainers who were the owners of the Company Family" and the National Broadcasting Company. George Hicks of the N. B. C. was master of ceremonies. Some noted musical leaders there were Prof. William A. Calhoun, forensic psychiatrist at the Marian Cook College. Clarence Williams, W. C. Handy and J. Rosamond Johnson. Dixie Jubilee Singers Support Tibbett in Film The augmented Dixie Jubilee Singers of twenty-five voices, under the direction of Eva Jessye, supported Lawrence Tibbett in one of the scenes of "The Southerner," two days last week at the Paramount Studio of Metro-Goldwyn production is soon to be released. This scene is the only one of the film not made in California. Church of Crucifixion Also Presents Musicale A musical was given also by the choir of the Church of the Crucifixion, 143 West 140th street, Sunday evening. It, too, was a splendid success. The guest artists were Theodore Robinson and Arnold Willoughby, bartonets, and Mrs. Gledys Weng Carty, violinist. St. Philip's P. E. Gives Musical Tee On Sunday afternoon the Senior Fellowship of St. Philip's Church sponsored a very impressive Christmas music-tea at its parish house at 215 West 133d street. The artists included Raymond Facey, violinist; Lillian De Loach, soprano solist; Winston Collymore, violinist. Hazel Facey, who recently opened the Facey Music Studio at 805 St. Nicholas avenue and pupil of Leopold Wolfsholm, splendidly interpreted Rudolf Schroer, Ostrow and Orientale by amani. The guest artist was Howard Hogan, boy solist of the Church of Heavenly Rest, whose remarkable singing was a real musical treat. The Brotherhood and Ladies' Auxiliary of St. John's Presbyterian Church will present "The Karolina Krooners" in a program Tuesday evening, January 6, at 8 o'clock. PETER MCKINNEY 5,000 View 369th Troops at Armory Senator Copeland Lauds Harlem's Regiment at Review Review A crowd of 5,000 persons attended a review of the 369th Infantry on Saturday evening at the regimental armory, 34 West 143rd street, with Senator Royal B.

The official staff, Senator Copeland made a personal inspection of the entire unit. He was then introduced to the audience by Col. William A. Taylor, commander of the 369th. When one of the Senator Copeland said he had ever inspected, he spoke of the brilliant record of the 369th in the World War.

These men, holding a convention in Chicago, and later establishing "headquarters" at the famous 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, "kept their heads together" until all of them had positions except Church, who did not and Simmons, who would have been minister of the treasury or minister to Hatti, but it was not written in the stars.

WORRELL Chiropodist Ringworm of the Feet (Continued From Last Week) There are many methods employed in the treatment of ringworm of the feet, but no matter what the treatment may be, persistence is the most important thing to be considered. Even after the condition is apparently cured, the treatment should be continued long after to improve a non-recurrence of the disease. Socks should be boiled at least 15 minutes to insure destruction of the ringworm, and the feet should be washed thoroughly with strong soap and water to remove the dead epithelium. All blisters, vesicles and pustules should be opened and all lose epithelium removed. Ointments containing salicylic acid, ammoniated mercury, benzene acid and other medications are used at night which exfoliate the skin and destroy the rhinum. During the day the feet should be washed and containing about 15 per cent salicylic acid in talcum, applied especially between the toes and in the socks. More recently X-ray has been used very successfully in the treatment of ringworm and it might be well to know that one form of treatment is to be treated in case of absolutely useless in another and suffering with ringworm of the feet should be very patient in its treatment in order to obtain the desired results. When itching takes place, scratching must be absolutely avoided, because it causes more irritation and it can be very painful. The soles of the feet and between the toes may be swabbed with compound tincture of benzoin as a prophylaxis before visiting the places of contact, such as the swimming pools, beaches, etc. Use plenty of soap and water after. The soles of ringworm of the feet, you are indeed nuggy; but if you are one of the suffers, have it taken care of and enjoy foot comfort.

During the past twelve months there have been no severe epidemics, but unemployment has played its part in the spread of disease and suffering. The reports on infant mortality and the results of surveys by individuals and organized groups show figures which are much too high, in so far as the Negro is concerned. The practice of medicine today is not only interested in diseases and their treatment, but is exerting every influence in conjunction with all health agencies in the prevention of disease. These efforts are often mistaken as scare propaganda, when, as a matter of fact, they are aimed at familiarizing everybody with facts about the common afflictions to which we are all susceptible. The more one knows about anything, the less mysterious will that thing appear to be, and this is particularly true of diseases. If the public knew more of the diseases and syphilis, there would be less fear of them, fewer cases and more real cure as a result of early treatment. Every year brings us new reinforcement in workers, workers and fa- which we are all susceptible. The more one knows about anything, the less mysterious will that thing appear to be, and this is particularly true of cancer, the disease known more of tuberculosis, cancer, and there would be less fear of them, fewer cases and more real cure as a result of early treatment. Every year brings us new reinforcement in money, workers and facilities to combat disease, and still we maintain conditions remaining the same. If we have the many factors to which we might attribute these unsatisfactory results is the factor of individual indifference to the sterling worth of a sound body and mind. It is a fact that disease cannot be replaced either in part or when it pleasurable the value of good health until it has been lost. Dental Talks By Boy C. Proctea- D. D. S. Until we come to a full realization that after all there can be no greater asset to man than the possession of good health, disease and death will continue to take their toll. Let us in 1939 be prepared to recognize a clearer sense of appreciation of the principles of preventive medicine and health hygiene.

Bill Hay, announcer for “Amos ‘n Andy,” struck a keynote few evenings ago when he said that most physicians and dentists are not wealthy people. They have to work for them. For the dentist, he said further that if you owe your physician or dentist, sit down today and send him a check; if you can’t pay all, pay a part. At least, this will make his New Year much brighter.

John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community Church, 12 Park avenue, Sunday afternoon at a mass meeting held by the Hubert Harrison Memorial Church at the Imperial Auditorium 160 West 120th street. "The spiritual, 'Old-Time Religion, is a delightful song,' said Dr. Holmes "but the idea is intellectually fallacious. Why should a religion that was good enough for Moses be good enough for us?

Telephones University 8000-6591-6302 for us to remember is that Moses was a pioneer in his day, just as we should be pioneers in our own time." Much of the revolt against orthodox Christianity, Dr. Holmes asserted, is due to the fact that there is no reconciliation between its teachings and the known facts of science. Another cause for a change, he said, is the refusal of many in the modern world to believe in a place of eternal demission such as the doctrines of fundamentalism teach. The other speakers were the Rev. Leon Rosser' Land, pastor of the Bronx Free Fellowship; the Rev. S. R. Mayer-Oakes, pastor of the Fourth Unitarian Church of Brooklyn; and the Rev. Lon Ray Cull, pastor of the West Side Unitarian Church. All are white. These speakers advanced arguments for a new church rid of the age-old fetishes, and offering freedom and recognition of science. Dr. Lucie Brown acted as master of ceremonies for the meeting. Miss Genective Kaufman, white, soloist for the Bronx Fellowship, was the guest soloist, singing four selections. Miss Genective Kaufman, Rev. Ethelred Brown is pastor of the Hubert Harrison Memorial Church, 149 West 136th street.

Toney will sit in Part IV of the First District Municipal Court, 146 Grand street, during the first two weeks of January. In the second half of the month he will go to Part II of the Fourth district, where he will remain until March. President Justice Leary said Watson and Toney will not serve the city as Negro justices, but will administer civil justice wherever their services are needed, regardless of the race of litigants. He declared that many people are anxious to see the judges, and urged every member of their race to support them. Alys H. Lyons, 1864 Seventh avenue, has been appointed court stenographer for Judge Toney, while Ruth Greene, 127 West 133d street, will act in that capacity for Judge Watson. The appointment of booth warden was made from the civil service lists. They are said to be the first female court stenographers. Joseph Brown, 166 West 121st street, has been appointed clerk of the Tenth District Court, to serve under Justice-elect Watson. Brown's deputy clerk is Edward B.

DOMENICK'S Famous Italian-American Restaurant Open Day and Night 2170 SEVENTH AVENUE Near 129th Street --- Toney Rose From Farm to Bench; Watson Trained for Justiceship THE MOMENTS Alabama Lad Fought Hard to Achieve Judiciary From humble ploughboy and cotton-picker in far-off Franklin County, Alabama, to a justicehip in the world's greatest city! That is the story of Charles Ellis Toney, 52, who is about to mount the bench from the Tenth Municipal Court district. The veteran lawyer is a living example of the fictional heroes of Horatio Alger. When Toney, the farm boy, became large enough to drop grains of corn in a row he began wrestling his living from his native state's red soil. Until he was 15 years old he alternated lowly tasks with periods in the county school. Then he knew richer harvests were to be roped elsewhere. The lad now, the late, left his position, the late Charles and Mary Toney, and sought his fortunes in New York State. At Hornellville, upstate, he worked his way through the town's high school while working as a dentist's assistant. In 1868 he went to Syracuse University, supporting himself during his college career as a dental technician, capitalizing his previous training. He was granted the bachelor's degree in dentistry after which he plumed into the study of law, becoming a bachelor of laws from the same institution in 1904. Struggled to Survive Two years later, after an initial period of legal practice update, the judge-to-be came to New York City, where he has practiced ever since. For more than a dozen years he struggled, alone as a lawyer, representing his clients in a wide variety of litigation before the courts of his adopted city and state. Tiring of his bachelorhood, he was married to Miss Lily R. Johnson in 1918, who still presides over the Toney apartment at 409 Edgecombe avenue. They have no children. During his student of social and political affairs, took little or no active part in politics. Like his forebears, he was a member of the Republican party. It was not, in fact, until about 1920 that he began to think critically about the relative merits of the two major parties. Finally, he made up his mind that the party of his fathers offered too little in opportunity to his race, and, since, as Toney puts it, "a square deal for black people" is his primary concern, and believing that the party Tammany backs was granting more, he reversed his political faith and joined the United Colored Democracy. Now he is also a member of the Chicopee Democrate Club. His legal practice has brought him in touch with the procedure in practice all of the courts in New York practically with the court over which he is now to preside. The law books record his connection with numerous cases that have enabled him to bring his ability to bear in behalf of the most humble of his fellow citizens. Lead Simple Life. Outside of his professional relations, he and Mrs. Tony lead a simple, domestic existence. Caring little THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1930 1 JUSTICE-ELECT James S. Watson was needed in his home showing letters (congratulation to his family) who caught by Campbell's cameraman (Left to right are Douglass C.12; Mrs. Violet M. Watson; Barbara M.12; James L. 8; and Graege 5.6; Justice-elect Charles E. Tory is shown in the smaller picture. For the over aspects of life in New York the new judge spends most of his time in reading and study. When a pressure of the law abates, he must go fishing with a few friends for the diversion that this special offers. To his way of thinking, a day two a week spent off the coast of Long Island will yield far more than evenings over the large table. He learned to love the of-doors in his days on the old farm. Got almost to the point of stern dignity. Justice-elect Toney's solemn exile is often mistaken as an indication of a lack of concern with life. Then he begins to talk about his life, if however, his eyes lighten and his intelligence a personality with deep interests in numerous events and issues. Perhaps he most outstanding impression prevails in his optimism—faith in the Negro's future and in the economic greatness and recovery of America. The new judge is not a church member, he has no antipathy to the institution. He merely believes that he is dealing with fundamental human problems through a more direct and more practical medium. The law, to him, presents a very real opportunity for service, and, having found the opportunity, he emerges from his first political tribulation. He battles a battle of any sort—giving his lions to administer justice and to insinse black folk to insist that they get their share of it. To Discuss U. S.

COLERIDGE TAYLOR CONCERT ENSEMBLE The Public Is Invited to Attend the Annual Business Meeting Monday, Jan. 5, at 2 P.M., 69 Fifth Avenue ADMISSION FREE COME EARLY Concert Man Turned His Honor Toward Ermine Robes The Stars and Stripes did not fly over the little island of Jamaica where Justice-elect James S. Watson was born, but he has been a citizen of this country so long that he feels the same interest in the development of the American nation as that held by native citizens of his country of adoption. The man who, in the recent election, polled the highest number of votes for justice of the Tenth District Municipal Court, was born May 29, 1882, and lived in his early years in the old college century Spanish town of St. Jepa de la Vega, St. Catherine's parish. As a boy he worked for a large bakery in his home town. Then he advanced to a clerkship in the office of the Elder-Dempster Steamship Company. Later he worked in hotels in Jamaica, and became cashier of the Constant Spring Hotel, one of the most important hotels on the island. Landing in New York on June 7, 1895 he went to high school and preparatory school. He worked as a young Watson secured employment in the Hudsonia Apartments, and prepared to extend his quest for knowledge. He enrolled in the cynology classes at City College, later entering the New York Law School, which conferred the degree of bachelor of laws upon him in 1913. During the following spring the youthful attorney was admitted to the bar. For twelve years he was associated with the law firm of House, Humann and Vorhaus at 115 Broadway. His private practice began in 1920. Mr. Watson was married to Miss Violet Mae Lopez, also a native of Jamaica, in 1917. With their four children they make their home at 117 West 120th street. Determined that each shall have the best possible training the Watson's send their first affair to the model school of Hunter College and the youngest fares forth daily to the Teachers' Training School model. Goes to City Law Staff. The judge-elect was appointed a special assistant corporation counsel for the city or Oct. 1, 1922. To this post he brought a wealth of experience gained while head of the corporation, tax and contract divisions of the House, Grossman and Vorhaus firm. The corporation counsel, Arthur J. W. Hilly, in a letter reluctantly dispensing with Watson's services, releases him from the city's legal staff today. Watson has taken a special interest in general enterprising young prospective attorneys, giving them opportunities to work in his office and under his tutelage. Among these have been Hubert T. Delany, Sidney T. Christian, Huston L. Levell, John B. Stevens, Donald Crichton, and Max Grossberg white. Judge Is Athlete. Always fond of athletics, both Mr. and Mrs. Watson are good tennis players. During his school days Watson was also a track and field man, having been a member of several teams of the Alpha Physical Culture Club. He is also a good swimmer. Though Watson always wanted to be a lawyer, practical considerations at one time almost sent him to Canada to study medicine, but he credits his determination to stick to the law to Robert E. Johnston, white, concert manager, who detected a legal day in Watson's make-up in the old days when he was working at the Hudsonia Apartments. Johnston's influence that Watson went to work for House, Grossman and Vorhaus, and his career was begun. The Watson's are plain people who, while they enjoy mingling with their friends, feel that their duties to their children should take precedence, and for this reason alone they have curtailed their social intercourse. Always Tammany Man. The new judge has always been a Democrat. He believes that Tammany Hall is closest to the masses of people in New York and, therefore, he has aligned himself with it. Watson, so deeply interested in all problems of corporation law, was called upon more than once to serve in litigations involving co-operative housing activities among Negroes. He believes in the value of these projects the possible good effect they may have on the community in Harlem, especially, he points out, if numerous small groups co into this field instead of attempting enterprises that will involve too many people in a single concern, which might endanger their chances of success. CHURCHES WILL LAUNCH EVANGELIST PROGRAM The first of a series of union evangelistic services will begin Monday at the St. James' Presbyterian Church, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, of which the Rev.

Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, "that the Negro ministry aid the needy and quit," was given Saturday in a statement to The Amsterdam News by the Rev. George H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist Church. "If the ministers, fraternal and welfare leaders," said Dr. Sims, "are guilty of the charges brought by Dr. Powell, they should not be let off with giving one, two or three months salary, but should go to fall." That part of Dr. Powell's statement to the Dr. Sims referred appeared in The Amsterdam News of December 17 and was as follows: "The churches and lodges have gotten a large part of the colored people's money during the last sixty years, and for the sake of the God Whos names our very acts have often blasphemed, and for the sake of serving breths and sisters, whom we have often robbed under the guise of religion, friendship, love, truth and charity, let us restore unto them this winter at least enough to keep them from starving and freezing." Dr. Sims, who is president of the New York Colored Baptist State Convention and vice-president of the National Colored Baptist Convention, Inc., and represents 75,000 Baptists in the State, said that many ministers themselves poorly paid and are often forced to do other labor to support themselves. "As president of the New York Convention for the past eighteen years," he declared, "I know men who The BUSIN Beauty Shops NELLIE JONES' BEAUTY SHOPPE 862 WEST 13d St. Bradburst 4975 Walker 87 system Electric Scalp Treatment Facial Hair Care Nourishing School Taught NU-LIFE COLLEGE BEAUTY SALON Expert operators.

If they gave one-fourth of their salaries as suggested by Dr. Powell, their families would have to join the bread lines at once. This is no time to muddy the water and stir up strife against preachers and their flocks, when the people in twenty-five states are suffering. If the ministers are guilty of robbing the public, they should not be asked to give the money back, but like anyone else who robs the public should be sent to fall." Union Baptist, his church, Dr. Sims declared, is doing all that it can to alleviate suffering occasioned by unemployment. Co-operating with the Prosser Committee, the church has contributed $750 in addition to the $1,387 from the committee to aid in relief, Dr. Sims asserted, despite the fact that the church is in debt to the extent of $120,000.

We are proud that Dancing 1989 would co-devor in which we are in baseball from that stand, lem we made our contribution game between the Baltimore Orioles and the such an affair at the time, ball game. No step was to upon it and, having had mind for such an event, we used us wherein we had much during the staging of event of this same typewriter, so over the world, our big surprise to even become peevet at the us. When the things that wing its fruits of success, we to be charitable. We do not the same fellow to get a great deal under personal direction as go so far as to give our which lead to success, even the directions. The good friend for you to forget the other fellow, to the ground and after you columns in your favorite n stand. WHEN you receive this copy of your favorite newspaper, it will be the last one of the old year, but you will get it in time to make a hasty mental survey of the accomplishments of the Negro in athletics in this part of the country and be in a pretty position to voice an opinion on the outlook for the New Year, which we be ushered in just one day after you are through reading this issue. We are proud that Dame Fortune blessed us to the extent during 1830 where we could contribute our share in every phase of endeavor. We are proud that we will be in baseball from that standpoint which we all consider big in Harlem we made our contribution, for if we had not decided that a game between the Baltimore Black Sox and the Lincoln Giants was been the same no such game, and the sequence which followed in the meeting of the Lincoln and the Pittsburgh Grays would not have been. The original plans called for the staging at our hands of a midnight game, but when we outlined the impossibility of Sleeping Car Forters, but when we outlined the impossibility of such an affair at the time, the suggestion came up of a big baseball game. No step was taken in the matter until we had passed it and, having had enough experience to gauge the public opinion, we decided to staging it thus until the day when an overzealous young man tried to show us wherein we had no place upon the field at the Yankee Stadium during the staging of events which we hatched up in the vicinity of the typewriter, sending forth its greetings to friends all over the world. It was a big surprise to those "in the know" that we did not even become peeved at the time, but it has ever been thus with our children. When we learn about giving its fruits of success, we find it the easiest thing in this world to be charitable. We do not mind submerging ourselves and allowing the other fellow to get a play if he enjoys it, because we find a way to help them. We do not mind under personal direction accept the acclaim of the multitude. We go so far as to give our "front men" credit for doing the things we do even when we stand behind them giving the directions. The good man is always willing to help us upon us, for you will note that when we withdraw she seems to forget the other fellow. Now, if you are wise, just put your cars the ground and after you would have carefully surveyed ALL our columns in your favorite newspaper, you will more readily understand. The Chocolate Kid Still a Big Card IN THE world of fistfuls, card in the roped arena, holding on to his positivism in the race, and to Brown, which isn't worth a United States. "We are trying here at Madison Square Gate parade his title in Europe, but because Brown lacks the white hat. There are any numb to be color that would make it work in this country, but when chance even at the Olympic Games can amaniphy, trying to duck that. On the other hand, the any half-way-derived ring we go to bed without the life of Cinema draws the dollars into the 1930 Harry Smith gave pro weight ranks, but ever since of Cinema man drop in the ascendancy many had hoped that B among the men of his class away weight to make ends with the life of Cinema when they sin the management of Louis C Angel Ciliville brought him DeVos in such dropper when he sin the Garden. Koll Kolo started proach had been made to which leaves him another d drop bring it into open competition receives full rating, and un some better showings than we receive much consist of the big money purses a his weight in gold, and this one champion unable to get bring. IN THE world of fistflicks Kid Chocolate remained the outstanding card in the roped arena during 1930, with a good chance of holding on to his position during 1931. We have one championship in the race, and that the bantamweight woga worn by Al Brown isn't worth the tights worn by Chocolate in the United States. While they are trying their best to uncover the champs right here at Madison Square Garden we find Brown being forced to parade his title in Europe, and this not because of any prejudice, which because Brown lacks the color necessary to make a title worth winning. He was not the only woga willing to be "knocked dead" for the money if Brown was allowed to color that would make it worth while for him to display his wares in this country, but when Jess McMahon would not dare take a woga to Olympia Club right here in Harlem you can appreciate that, while Duke was not allowed to draw the collars into the box-office. In the other situation 1930 Harry Smith gave promise of going to the top in the middle-weight ranks, but ever since his fight with Gorilla Jones the stock was man dropped many points and it has not been in the ascendancy since. Many had hoped that Baby Joe Gans would come into his own among the men of his class, the colored boy being willing to give away weight to make ends meet, but his stock also went tumbling him into trouble to get those kind of fights that would have brought him to the top in the management of the Guitter Flutters—indicted. Angel Ciliville brought home a splendid climax when he knocked out the Devos in such short order at the Olympia, but his stocks dropped out of the dressing room later at the Garden. Koli Kolo started like a house sleeper, but his proach had been made to the New Year Koll had some reverses which leaves him another doubtful quantity during 1831. He was a great golfer, but he will have to bring it into open competition at the New York Golf Club receives full rating, and unless One Punch Leo Williams puts in some better showings than that last one at the Jamaica Arena on Saturday, he will have the hands of the fans during 1831. Our best bet for the New Year fighter today worth his weight in gold, and this goes without saying, as we have at least one champion unable to get into the money which a title should Coming Back to the Old Diamond Game RETURNING to a discussion haven't anything to rave the absence of John L. to carry on at the Catholic way as they did during 1833 will, as usual, depend upon you will become moved with the to make him feel there is the game. Wabbitur Mr. Keenan w the Yankee Stadium w time, albeit it is said that askance at the idea of allow games at Mr. Ruppert's park will not make thy he would not make more team down where he would penses and the split are take tests will not be your last where Keenan is concerned with joy when he received he the stadium. Considering the mistle would dare look for prospects for baseball in Go continue at the Dexter Park new team to he managed the old order will experience RETURNING to a discussion of baseball, we are in New York haven't anything to rave about in the coming year. Despite the absence of John Lloyd, the Lincoln Giants will continue to carry on at the Catholic Protective grounds in about the same way as they did in the winter of the New York team will, as usual, depend upon the white wolf games on Sunday at the Oval, hoping that enough colored tins will become moved with the spirit to turn out in enough numbers to him feel there is a little appreciation for his efforts in the game. Whether Mr. Keenan will be successful in again bringing to the Yankee Stadium a series of games remains doubtful at this time, albeit it is said that those behind the stadium do not look at the games at the Lincoln to appear in Sunday games at Mr. Ruppert's park in New York during the cold winter months Mr. Keenan can spend his evening games he would not make more at the old quarters than to bring his expenses and the spills. He would have to take a big cut when the expenses and the spills. You can bet your last doughnut, however, that outside interests will have nothing to do with the staging of any more games. Keenan is concerned, for it is said that he did not waltz with John Lloyd in his end after the Giants-Grays series at the stadium. Considering the wolf dogs that make the trip to the Oval of a Sunday, only this mastic would dare look forward to the New Year with any unusual baseball in Greater New York. Nat C. Strong will continue at the stadium with old and unless this new team to be managed by colored people the old order will experience no change in the coming months. Hampton-Lincoln Game Again in 1931 T GOES without saying the little director, Mr. William stage the Lincoln-Hampton or the Yankee Stadium. The season just passed as had been long ago, the old diggin' make the new stadium. No matter how little is the expenses, are made those helps to keep both schools beehive at one of Mr. Edidle's attendance noted at the last. Mr. Williams would do what the latest twists and of the old ones like to attract the attention must also remember that co-motors at all, at all, but the Amsterdam trying to capitalize on their big doings. The Hampton director of the greatest city in the United States, and for the time and labor, and A GOES without saying that Hampton will again send her athletic director, Mr. Williams, to New York City again next fall to stage the Lincoln-Hampton "classic" at either the Polo Grounds or the St. Louis Stadium. The affair did not pan out so well the season just started, but out there are enough people remaining in the old digging deserts of wanting to be seen to make the staging of the game a success. No matter how little is taken in at the box-office, as long as they are staging the game are winners, for it helps to keep both schools on the same day, when we become truly football-minded, there's going to be a great crowd at one of Mr. Eddie's fields which will make up for the lack of staging at the last game. Mr. Williams will also coeshew alumni, who know more about the latest twists and turns in the league than they do of the staging of public affairs in Greater New York. He like to attract the attention of a larger group of people, and he know that certain so-called promoters are no promoters all the time, men who lucked out under the guidance of the Amsterdam News editor, who are now trying to capitalize on their past connection for getting in on the big dongs. Hampton director of athletics would also do well to enter the greatest city in the United States with great metropolis without certain sentimental ideas, and only with the time and labor involved. There are yet means to be enticed which will have a tendency to add to whatever success is required. Mr. Eddie Wilson would say, "I don't give a heck of another series between the Lincoln Giants and the race." COCHRANE LEADING CHARGE AGAINST RENS Reginald Siki in Open Defi to Londos, Wrestling Champ SIKI BEARDS THE WRESTLING LION Negro Mat Man Seeks Battle With the Champion, Jim Londos A concerted effort will be made by friends of Resinald Sikl, the wrestler, within the next few days, to force Jim Londos, the champion, into a marriage brand the Greek as a coward trying to hide behind the color line. It is said that Promoter Curley is willing to put on the match at the gym, but the team is being staged for quite a while, but that Londos has been ducking the issue ever since it was first brought to his attention. It is said that Londos is so confident that Smith will not look with favor upon such a match, which caused many to wonder why the Greek should, all of a sudden, take such an interest in what the crackers and hillbillers "This fellow is a Greek who has come to America and garnered a gang of dollars," said Sikl the other day, "and since I have made good against the best of them I feel that I am needed to a chance not only at the title, but to make money at my trade." Siki returned to the United States recently after a long campaign in Europe. He met with a great deal of support on his return to Canada after his return here left for Canada where he engaged in a number of beats. Of splendid physique and not a bad game he has always attracted unusual tention wherever he has appeared. As in boxing, Siki suffers because of being colored, especially since he is his brother. He plays the game. A match between he and Londos would draw one of the biggest houses that ever turned out to be his home. But among the other things Londos seemed to have acquired with his championship is the prejudice he has not met. Known as he in his native Greece, Siki was to be on the ground to challenge him. Why the Constant Bellyaching? Why the Constant Bellyaching? BY J. B. Slimms. The echecs of the swan song of the past football season are fast-dying, diving, and for the race sports writers' animations upon the faults of the football year, the errors of the mentors, the whys and wherefores, the lack of proper training in our institutions, the whys and wherefores and a mutilation and one other thing that公 to sap the very life out of a trussing public as regards Negro football. Now comes the time for the picking of All-American elevens and what not—all the deficits and why lament on the defects of the grid game as practiced in our colleges. We often wonder why the game does not pay in race institutions. We wonder why the stands are practical, why the contests are confess. Yet, our games are as thrilling as any of the others and surely they are as fair. Very seldom can we point to instances where unreasonable contests are employed. Our contests surely carry all the trimmings and color that any of the others carry. And yet we are forced to ask ourselves why the application of the public at large—why is it that hardly ever do large crowds occupy the stadiums when Negro teams are engaged in combat? Why is it that the audience out as miserable financial failures? We venture to say it is because of the yearly attacks levied at the college by some of our big league feature teams. So this is our big league feature the year when they have very little to write about—the lag between the football and basketball rents. So they call down the coaches and committees from them, these very talented gentlemen dish out an attack on the gridiron activities of the past season; they call down the coaches and committees from them, these very talented trustees of the various schools, even going so far as to suggest the removal of certain mentors. They accuse the coaches of up all the little errors and make mountains out of them. They seem to think that theirs is an assignment from which will come many lauresls. And so they attack be heavy enough. And so these distinguished gentlemen grind out words and phrases. They name a man up with four unfounded reasons for these stars not being what they really are. They let out the loud war who that Negro teams are on one or two men and yet they say there are very few individuals under the spotlight if any. And so they cause Negro football "washing" they cannot select a mythical All-American and yet they pick one and enter into a big dispute if contradictory unfairness and some accuse even the water boys—innocent as they are—accused of spilling water. They lambast the students and claim they do not play the game. They say there is no color. And why all this uncalled for "belly-aching"? Why is it that each year our sports writers must cast stones at our players, who are so tautly prepared and skilled in the art of grid maneuvers. For the most part they are exponents of good sportsmanship and believe in instructing their charges likewise. The officials in the league have handled the games in a satisfactory and pleasing manner. There have been quite a few stars and yet our teams have employed team work as we have done in the past, been most gracious in their support. We do not claim that Negro football has been flawless. We do not say there is no room for improvement, but we humble opinion that our sports writers are tearing into shreds the confidence of the public with their yearly attacks that are unwarranted and that are clean articles would help and by clean we mean original and truthful. The New York Amsterdam News ONLY OVERHEAD ATTACK COUD PENETRATE FAMED TUSKEGEE NE "Fats" Jenkins 5 ONE OF THE most consistent and reliable basketball players in the world, Jenkins has been an outstanding player with the Renaissance Five ever since that team was started. Frat Game Ends in Victory for Phi Sigma Phi Beta Sigma basketball team took the measure of the Omega PSI Phi Christmas afternoon at the gymnasium in a thrilling contest ending 30-28. They closely contested, with Sigma jumping to an early lead and remaining on the long end of an 18-14 score at the end. After the initial whistle, Briscoe of Sigma was the first to part the cords and enter the scoring column by dropping in a sensational shot from the left side. Bartlett of Sigma followed with two arc field goals, and Sigma kept this lead throughout, the first half. Handsbord kept Omega in the battle of the beginning of the second half. Sigma made to make field goals from every angle, floor, and easily proved himself to be the outstanding player for his team. The beginning of the second half Sigma made to attack with Captain "Bill" Bartlett, the class floorman, drawing in the Omega defense to make way for quite and unexpected passes to Draw "Si" and to help them were well able to assist their captain to keep Sigma out in front. After holding his man scoreless and chucking a wonderful floor game, Chuck was beaten by Campbell because of injuries. With four seconds to play and the score 28-28, Drain dropped in a nice shot from midfloor, and it was all over. WASHINGTON ELK TEAM PILING UP GREAT RECORD The Capital City Elks, formerly known as the Community Yellow-jackets, nine years amateur team of Harland and the District of Columbia but not the District of Morning Star Lodge, possess one of the most deadly shooting combinations Washington has known some time. A total of seven players has been amassed by the Elks in their first three games as against 54 for their opponents. The Asbury Park Elks went down under a 72-21 crushing to Friday's game against Georgetown Community Center teams were turned back by respective 60-17 and 54-16. The Atlantic City Elks, white and the Baltimore Coyotes are the next three Elk opponents. CARLTON WI-ACES DEFEAT ST. PETER CLAYER Last Saturday night the long awaited game between the Carlton Wi-Aces and the St. Peter Claver Bays Club team was played in the Carlton gym. The season's biggest crowd was the commensal boys' teams right it on a game that was a thriller from beginning to end. The first half ended with the score 13 to 10 in favor of the Aces. It was second half the Aces got their missing in worker and rapidly secured enough points to a good lead. The game ended with the Aces on top to the tune of 34-26. TUSKSGEI INSTITUTE, Ala.—The Tuskegee League, that in midseason was rated as the best in recorded history, fought in the has been found chiefly at home in the three games. However, the linemen have always rallied in time to keep a clean slate in so far as touchdowns being scored were not. Since 1238, when a great Wilberforce team smashed a touchdown over from the one yard line in the fourth attempt, has a score been made through a Tuskegee line. The Tiger defense has yet been able to penetrate the Tiger defense, and it is largely due to this great line that the Golden Tiger is careening towards another national collegiate championship. From end to end the line averages 180 pounds. The individual work of Johnson, end; Adams, guard; Champion, center; guard and others of the first string in the final consideration, but in the final, its BRIGGS MAKING THEM LIKE IT Mentor of Tribune Five Giving Philadelphia Good Basketball PHILADELPHIA. Pa.-Otto Briggs well known. Hildale ballplayer, in certainly putting basketball back on the map in Philadelphia with his Tribute Big Five. In selecting the personnel of his team he left no stone unturned in securing the most talented and well liked boys in the city. Each one has a host of friends and they are turning out rain or shine to fight against Lincoln University when they won 32 to 31 and also against the strong St. Christopher of New York City when they beat them 28 in basketball public in every corner of city hailing them as real champions. It can readily be seen that Briggs is using the same system in handling the basketball team as he has used in the other teams. He has the highest respect for every player and each one of them admires him. They give their best in every game they play. This respect themselves in the hearts of the fans, are: Lonnie Shields, lates Davis, Sly Brown, Sam Morton,曼uel Chappelle, Bert Anderson Robert Lee, Peter McCormack, Briggs not only signed up some of the best players in the city, but went further and secured the services of the most noted and popular referee in the league. He can handle all of his games. And he wants to remind you that Mr. Reed is a colored referee. His work has of the highest the and very cute faces and hands that have seen him officiate.

Brooklyn Vistations one, Renaissance one; so stands the games played between the two greatest teams in the country after their last engagement on Christmas night, and which was won by the Renaissance quintet by the score of 38 to 30, almost the same score by which they were defeated by the Brooklynites at the Garden some week ago. With that old score settled and off their minds, the Rens polished off Bob Grody and his Jamaica Whirlwinds last Sunday night at the Rens' Casino, at 43 to 22. A full house turned out Christmas night to witness the return game with the Vistation Five, and they were defeated by the Brooklynites played game, replete with thrills, through without the uncertainty as to the ultimate victor. The Rens were apparently primed for a great game, and at the start went out to slaughter the players played up a big pile on their rivals in the first half, which ended 26 to 8 in their favor. In the second half the Brooklynites, far from being counted out, put on a blistering offensive that kept the Rens while, and cut down the big Rens' lead point by point, but the colored champs were not out to lose their advantage, and managed to stave off the Rens' lead point by point, that at the end of the game they had an eight-point lead. The Brooklynites, however, outscored them in this frame 20 points to 12. Jenkins with 12 points was high, while the Wille Scroll, for the visitors, with 11 points, topped his teammates. Sunday night the Jamaica Whirlwinds were no match for the Rens, and the home boys walked away with 11 points. They had a field day, gathering 8 floor goals and four fouls for a total of 20 points. Charley rather enjoyed himself, shaking off several men at times while making his baskets. Charley Cochrane and his All Stars will attempt to stop the Rens. Mickey, who is the star catcher of the World's Baseball Champion Philadelphia Athletics, is considered a great player and is rated as a great basketball player. He will also have on the MANOR BOYS ST 'Y' JUNIORS' WI The undefeated Manor Boys' five of the Bronx, displaying a highly co- ordinated offense, defeated the "Y" nunjors last Saturday night in the "Y" court by the score of 57-49. This snapped the eight-game winning streak of the local cage artists. A more balanced offensive team has not been seen hereabouts in many a league threat. The aggregation exemplified the common notion that a strong offense is the best defense. The Bronx boys assumed an early lead on the ball and scored on the regulars, and at half time led 31-18. Credited with a string of fifty-one victories over the last two years, Manor boys fully justified the team's success. The second half found the Juniors playing the kind of basketball which is expected of them, and of which they are capable. Fear of the Manor Boys seemed to have become somewhat tightened the other day, a spirited rally overhaul the visitors. In this period, the home combination outsided their opponents, but the 13-point handicap of the first was too much to overcome the team. The Manor Boys. Bill Davis, veteran Junior player, surk a hey of field goals in this stance, which gave the rosters high hopes. With Johnson, Easter holding up their end adroitly, he scored 41-35, and 15 looked as if a winning rally was unde way. This hone was quickly silked by a trio of double-pointers by Wassenstein of the Manor Boys, which gave them a lead never to be beaten, and scored for his team with 16 points and was brilliant also on the defense as well. Chavis stood out for the home team. He played the best game of career, collecting 14 points, some of which were made from an opponent was hunting from his shoulder. His participation in the scrimmages drew many fouls and he showed dead accuracy in making the throw from the free-throw line. Both Johnson and Easter played important roles in the Junior attack, accounting for 12 and 11 points, respectively. Preceding the main game, the "Y" Cyclops lost a 40-24 game to the Peeps. The P. Midgets engaged the midkick in P. S. 63 and easily wallowed them to the tape of 24-21. In this game "Peanuts" Burke led scoring with 10 points. He was closely followed by "Bilpsy" Johnson wilt. 8. The box score of the main game follows: with the team's defense and will seek to forestall all threats of defeat by keeping the Panther in trouble from the kick-off. Shaun Hill. Tuskegeee's 150-pound All-American back, who received an arm injury in the play, game watched the workout today. He did not put on a uniform. He was chewing the order of the coaches that he remain in for all football for the present. Wakefield are the most likely looking candidates to indicate in backfield for Shanklin in this injury does not yield to treatment. McCarthy has not been used much this year, but the Philadelphia youth runner and deadly tackler, in the form of respect he beats one or two so-called teammates and may be given more priority. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1930 Stuichbury and Roxbury, those two fast and 'shifty Brooklynites, well known to Rens' fans, and Powers, one of New Jersey's best basketball products, will make up the lineup five, and the Rens are bound to have their hands full holding these boys. The preliminary game on Sunday night went to the Majestics, who defeated the Comets by the score of 30 to 24. Next Sunday night the Metro-Diamonds will meet the Camerons, and it will mark the end of the first half of the Eastern Conference-bound Basketball League.

DECEMBER 31. 1930 Armory Champ Lost to Eulo Last Week KOLO STAGING COMEBACK HERE Will Meet Mickey Genero at the Olympia Saturday Night Promoter Jesse McMahon of the Olympia Club in Harlem has arranged a banner New Year's card for next Saturday night. Three star teams, a six and a four round opening number comprise the excellent bill. Miki Golb, featherweight champion of Hungary, who claims Irish Jimmy Slavin took a couple run-outs on him, will meet the Italian Wolf Boy of Harlem, Johnny Erickson, in the final number on the card. Koll Kolo, featherweight champion of Porto Rico, makes another bow for championship recognition against Mickey Genero of New Haven, Conn. The opening star number will be Antilio Sabatino wetted with a champion to come to this country with the scalp of Angel Cilvel under his belt, crossing gloves with the hard-hitting K. O. Ketchell of Philadelphia. Two weeks ago Sabatino defeated Irish Tommy Jordan of Brooklyn at the Olympia in his debut there. A special six-rounder will be a feud right between Marty Sampson of the Brixx and Andy Turco, the Fordhamash. In the curtain raising four-rounder Solly Serafino of Harlem clashes with Alfredo Santol, also of Harlem, whose so-called neighborhood rivalries. ANSLEM LOSES ARMORY CROWN Eulo.Won Verdict Over nkie Last Saturday Joey Eulio, Brooklyn's regiment bantam entry, won over the Philadelphia defender of the 118-pound laurids of the armories, in their twelve-round setto at the 160th Regiment Armory last Saturday night, relieving the Philadelphia of the General Husky belt, emblematic of the friendship. Joey waged a keen, heavy battle and had a clear advantage in seven of the dozen stanzas, with Frank taking the honors in only two, the sixth and the second season and the two final chapters were fought on even terms. Joey started out by carrying the fight to the little ebony-skinned titleholder, swinging right hook, to further to turn the balance and sent him foundering and scrambling for cover. Before the initial round was over Anselm had managed to elude this punch, but he was doing it to further. Next, the fighter had much of an edge in the following stance, but during the third, fourth and fifth rounds Eulio unleashed a tireless body attack, driving hard rights to the Philadelphia mid-section that ablaze The challenger slowed up in the sixth and Anselm out-boxed him to take the round, but Eulo came right back to take the next three, practically assuring him. Eulo began to slow down and the tenth round was his, but Eulo held him, even for the remainder of the scrap.

The Cheyenne gossip committee headed by Dr. Cassy Jones A. Vivrito has included on the program for this year's meet eight special feature races and already many of the outstanding champions have filed their entries. American Spring Series—60, 80 and 100 meters for the James J. Monahan trophy; Columbus Council 500 yards, for the ex-Governor Smith trophy; the Mayor Walker half-mile run for the Joseph W. Conklin trophy; 1-mile Catholic club and college relay for the Bishop T. E. Molly trophy and the 1-mile high and prep school relay for the Grand Knights' charity donated by Francis A. Maden In keeping with the high standard of the games in the past four years, Chairman Viverito and his committee have endeavored to bring together fields for the special races which will turnish for the season. The McCafferty, of Holy Cross College, the outstanding 600 yard runner of the 1929-30 indoor season, and winner of last year's Columbus 500, was one of the first stars to file his entry. In the field opposed to him in the Columbus 500 this year will be Charles H. Engle, Yale Intercollegiate Athletic Team, Eddie Roll, Newark A. C. National junior 600 yard champion; Victor Blesiekiewicz, Milrose A. A. Metro, Last Cricket Season Most Unfavorable THE year 1930 is on its last go round. It has but a few short hours to live. The ring of a bell and it will have passed like the proverbial thief in the night carrying with it a cricket season so unfavorable to the local talent that it seems an act of charity to say only, "happy riddance." And what a hectic season it was! Certainly it was the most disappointing in the history of the sport when indeed it had every reason to be the most satisfactory. Never before have we so many foreign eyes in our own backyard, all for our own pleasure, and yet find us lacking in the mood to appreciate their offerings to the full. That they failed to leave us happy and contented at their own home is no doubt of theirs. trouble in the arena, their cours. The visiting athletes tried to please whenever they took the field, but we were not in the true cricket spirit to appreciate their worth. Far from it, we were rather a badly organized players. In fact, a group of individuals bent on self-establishment. The 1930 season broke with abundance of promise. The heralded coming of a new generation wrote and his West Indies team filled that with genuine enthusiasm. That the season was going to be a banner one was wildly predicted. But we made our predictions quite umarmed by the weaknesses of human nature. Joe Small of Trinidad, as great a player and as true a gentleman as ever trod the crease, honored us with hils-fries. With him was George John, the noted professional. These two players added much color to our politan 300-yard champion; Milt Sandler, New York University Before the entries close, the committee expects to receive the entries v. Vior Burke and Arthur Briggs, of beortown University. Joe McCluskey, of Fordham, one of America's most prominent landrunners and present holder of the National junior and Metropolitan 2-mile championship titles in the national crown has entered in the 2-mile special where he will be ousted by Joe Hagen, former Columbia university star and Intercollegiate 2-mile champion, Boston A, New England champion, Shackleite, Manhattan Collegi; Phil Silverman, Brooklyn Harriet and possibly Leo Lermond of Born and Gus Moore, last year's winner has attracted the entries of Aile Riper, Boston College; Isidor Metropolitan genevense, Swedish American . C.; William Cox, ex-Yale mid-dancer; C.; Frank Nordell and De Hutter, of New York University. Of the ten athletes entered the meet by the Milrose A. A., we are present or past champions on record holders. In addition to MillerPindle and Milrose, the Milrose A. A. will wear the colors of the Milrose A. A. They have also entree their crack relay team, consisting of Lorcete McNell, Metropolitan St.air champion; Jessie Cross, Metropolitan 10 yard champion; Carrie Jenner, Metropolitan 10 yard champion, former National and Metropolitan sprint champion. New York University has entered its full squad in the hope of winning. By B. M. CLARKE a sturdy quintet of worthy former. The sextet packed so much of real cricket ability in their efforts in the field that theers was an enviable record when the season ended. Da Costa, the best batsman on his side, was easily the equal of any player during this turbulent season. Hardy, Hytton and J. K. also left their mark. Ben Sealy and Dr. W. O. Bibs of the West Indies team rate special mention. Sealy was by popular vote the hero of the season, although the work of B. Achong, M. Anthony V. Hytton, and J. K. Bibs of the indies shall ever be remembered. The local clubs failed to produce an outstanding performer—bowler or batsman—during the season. Allan Meyers did quite well and so did Darnley Lashley, who was the bowler of the best well-irritated ball is not enough; the word "brilliant" is much to be preferred, but it cannot be used on this occasion. A. Dash was badly off form and so was able to help us but little. New York, the skipper of the West Indian C. C. had the misfortune to be injured early in the season and therefore was forced to decorate the sidelines at a time when the team had changed things completely. Welsh of Grenada, Jackson of Jamaica, C. Brown of St. Vincent, and J. Robinson of Bermuda led the local team. There were five players absent in Canada (E. Holder, A. Lewis, V. Sween, V. Ollivierre, and H. D. Carr) during the season, performers of the highest level, and the least suspicion that this is the cause of our poor cricket form. The shortness of the season and the lack of practice likewise had nothing to do with the success of the saved many a good lack by its brittleness. When we The New York Amsterdam News Athletics' Catcher to Lead Game Against Rens Mickey Cochrane, the fiery, red-headed catcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, and his side kick, Mule Hass, who also plays center field for the same club, accompanied by an all-star aggregation, including such well-known players as Rocksbury, Art Powers and Happy Ford, all three formerly of Paterson, and many other American League players, will take the floor against Renaissance on New Year's night at the Renaissance Casino. Cochrane is as good on the floor as he is on the diamond, and is considered one of the most colorful players at either game. This bunch of stars has already beaten some of the best teams in the League and a breath-taking game can be expected. Some of the most prominent entries in the Violet squad are Ira Singer, runner up in the national 60 championship last March, Isidore Goff, third place winner in the same event; Bernard Kresney, former New Utrecht star; Milton Sandler; J Schleifford, Dan Hutner, Fred Humphrey, Dan Hutner, James F. Knight and George Spitz. season (1930) was fully as lengthy as were its predecessors and that New York cricketdom has never known its own success. It was a potent alibi. For the time being let us consider the only true explanation of a miserable three months of cricket: Lack of co-operation between the absence of a powerful board of control to govern the sport; intelligent umpires and unbiased recognition of outstanding performance by the gallant players. YES. In 1930 cricket season was the most unsatisfactory in the history of the pastime, but most assuredly it could have been worse; so let us forget about it and get toogether to discuss the significance of the sport, for cricket is a delightful pastime. Wonders Beat Probak Five In Dull Contest Thursday The classy N. Y. Wonders put a dull edge on the Prokab Blades' five, representatives of the Metropolitan Industrial League. Thursday night, defeating them 26-16, in the gym of the High School of Commerce. Though the Wonders maintained a position until the last few minutes, play that the winning points were gained. At half-time the score was in favor of the Wonders, 12-10. With the exception of a long shot by Harper and Best for the Wonders and the effective playing of Rozner and McCormack, the core. Best was high scorer, caging eight points for the victors. On Wednesday night the Wonders sunk the Goodfellowship basketeers with a score of 2-12. Mayor Dedicates New Harlem Park Receives Macombs Bridge Project Built by Rockefeller Characterizing the extension of Seventh avenue from 151st street to 155th street, and the improvement of the Harlem River shore front in Harlem Lane Park as "another link in the chain where we hope to improve the city for all the people." Mayor James J. Walker cut the ribbon across the entrance to the developed area Friday afternoon and dedicated the project to the service of the city. The park, which provides a striking background for a site on which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., plans, to erect a model apartment building was donated to the city by the philanthropist, G.

Mayor Walker lauded the donor of the park, and extolled the Dunbar Apartments, erected by Mr. Rockefeller, as "the finest model tenements I know about anywhere in the world." "No other has attained so fine degree of cleanliness as these tenements occupied by our colored fellow citizens, his Honor be paid." The Mayor Miller is also due a debt of gratitude for being the first to vision the improvement of the Macombs dam bridge area. Of the cost of $655,000 for the project, the city paid only $55,000. Mr. Rockefeller's employees regranted Seventh avenue and raised the street level to meet the 155th street vladuct and Central bridge.

Another of the individuals whose witnesses and counsel were solicited by the committee was Judge Algeranova Nova of the County Court, who attended a luncheon held at the Carlton Y. M. C. A. recently, when he outlined the problem to the attention of the ministers' group, which was well repre- Judge Nova stated definitively that there was a great need of both volunteers and paid workers whose responsibility it will be to prevent the greatest in the cases of Negroes charged with crimes and in co-operation with the court see what could be done in behalf of the many unfortunate who are not hardened criminals. Judge Nova to Mr. Conick, a total of 199 Negroes charged with crime from the beginning of the year to November had been either put on probation or remitted to jail.

BURNERI POTTER EXPERT MARCELLING AND SHAMPOOING APEX SYSM USED IMPERIAL BEAUTY PARLOR and BARBER SHOP 1742 FULTON STREET, BROOKLIN, N. Y. For Appointment's dll Haddingham 0994 PETER H. Justice Stirah, said to be one of the most humane and considerate, invited the Rev. T. S. Harten to sit with him one day last week. Harten Sees Justice Dispensed Strahl Dr. Thomas S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, was responsible for a mild stir and peering eyes at the Fourth District Municipal Court last Wednesday afternoon when, preceded by judge Jacob S Strahl, presiding justice of the court, he ascended the bench and took his seat beside the magistrate. The courtroom was crowded with litigants and their counsel, and followed the arrival of the judge and his colleague there, who was in distress, intensified by the fact that a Negro was sitting on the bench. Many thought a new chapter was about to be written, one wherein their would be adjudicated by a member of the court in his last time in the history of New York State. A whisper rapidly spread throughout the courtroom that he was one of the two Negro judges elevated in unhammam during the last election, but he was there not to lay down the law but simply to have a first-hand view of human problems with which many of the courts are faced day by day, especially the municipal courts, greatly to do with dispossess cases. So novel was this situation that it elicited an interview with Justice Stahl, who was profuse in his praise of Dr. Harten and commended him for his leadership and his selfless devotion. He was much impressed by the many acts of kindness that Dr. Harten has performed in behalf of the race and, being i...r...ed by it, he invited the judge to bench with him. Justice Stahl, who being on the bench for twenty-one years, was elected last year for a ten-year term c. the endorsement of both major parties. Known as the friend of the poor man, the justice has built a valuable reputation by his acts of charity. At the present time he is presiding over a court which embraces one-eighth of the Borough of Brooklyn and which takes in most of the poorer neighborhoods of the city, organizing in his district a "Save a Home Campaign" through which he helps to administer to the needy suffering because of the unemployment crisis. Every morning before the court begins he sends around hats in the collection he hopes to store in the collection with a substantial sum, and through this medium he has been able to save many tenants from eviction and help others who are in desperate financial circumstances. The distress are brought before him, he gives them money for food and the promise that they will not be evicted. Through the "Save a Home" organization it is reported that over $700 has been provided that Christmas baskets, which were given to the poor during the past week. URBAN LEAGUE WILL USE FLATBAT BOYS' CLUB An arrangement has been made by and between the officers and directors of the Flatbush Boys' Club and Compton Urban League, whereby the former organization will rent to the latter its building at Snyder and Rogers avenues for the nominal sum of $1 a year.

Unless you Register You Cannot Vote. Be a Good Citizen. Register and Voter SPEED NEW YEAR PROSPENTY New Year's "Irresolutions" DONT MAKE any New Year's resolutions. You can hardly make any that you have not made before, and if you have not kept them in other years you are not likely to keep them now. The kind of resolution that people keep does not wait for a new year; it is made at any time of the year, the day or the night. If Caesar had waited for a new year before he resolved to cross the Rubicon, or Napoleon before he crossed the Alps, those two things never would have been done. EVEN WHEN PEOPLE keep a resolution it is often a misnomer for something that they have been forced into by circumstances. Many a man prides himself on having sworn off drinking or smoking, when he has done so only because his doctor told him that if he didn't he would be dead in a few years, or because he has lost his taste for such pleasures. As the old Roman philosopher said: "Men think they have conquered their vices when their vices have only deserted them." THIS is not saying that you should not sit down, at New Year's or any other time, for serious reflection. We should continually take stock of ourselves. The most estimable person in the world has some habit that needs checking up, and fortunate is he who has only one. Practically every person of character has developed himself by overcoming something within him. It may have been selfishness, laziness, gluttony, vanity, quick temper, carelessness, shyness or what not? A reverend man of irreproachable life once made the astonishing confession that he had spent twenty years conquering a natural tendency to licentious conduct. PICK out your besetting fault or circumstance and go after it. But don't stultify yourself by making a New Year's resolution. The Eleventh Commandment should be: "Don't kid yourself." Chasing an Old Bogey Chasing an Old Bogey WHENEVER you are asked why a certain thing is so, the first thing to do is to find whether it it so. For many years we have been hearing and giving reasons why the Negro infant death rate in the cities is higher than the death rate among whites. Few of us have stopped to ask the simple question, IS it higher? IT IS NOT. According to the latest report published by the city health department, in many places it is lower. In 1929 the infant mortality rate among Negroes was 101, as compared with 128 in the entire United States registration area. In the neighborhood of Central Park north the Negro rate was 58 and the white rate was 95. In some parts of the city the Negro rate dropped to 51, or five lower than the lowest white rate found. Since 1910 the white death rate has declined 54 per cent; in the same period the Negro rate has declined 61 per cent. It is noticeable that wherever the Negroes are given decent living quarters and neighborhoods their infant death rate falls sharply. It is time people dropped the old bogey that Negroes are oftentimes more subject to disease than whites. MUCH OF OUR difficulty in understanding the present originates in our ignorance of the past. If we could go back far enough in man's career upon the earth, if we could see humanity as it was a half-million years ago, we could better comprehend A New Year's Epistle to the Negro Edwin R. Embree of Rosenwald Fund Clarifies Stand on Negro Hospitals some of the social and biological phenomena that vex and puzzle us today. DR. ARTHUR TORRANCE, a member of the Royal and the American Societies of Tropical Medicine, is about to start on an expedition to Africa, in the neighborhood of Lake Tchad. In this region there is supposed to be a tribe of dual-sexed people, some of whom Dr. Torrance met several years ago in Nigeria. THE BISEXUAL question has agitated society so long that there must be something behind it. Even the Greeks, three thousand years ago, had their myth of Hermaphrodite, the child of Hermes and Aphrodite, who inherited the sexes of both its parents. To this day the presence of vestigial female organs in the male, and of rudimentary male organs in the female, has led thinkers to wonder whether the first human beings were bisexual. If Dr. Torrance can gain access to that African tribe and study its ways, he may elucidate one of the great mysteries of modern society. Greetings for 1931 THE CRYING demands of the times and the necessities of the situation must justify my assumption of intellectual and moral authority in this epistolary advice and admonition. We are entering upon a new year which will witness momentous movements throughout the world. Our own nation is in the midst of transforming processes whose outcome is not apparent to the wisest foresight. The city is depicting the country. Depression and unemployment are nationwide. Agriculture and industry have come to grips. Capital and labor are in a state of armed neutrality. Man and the machine are engaged in a deadly duel. The bonsted democracy of an agricultural era is threatened by the dictatorship of the machine and billionaire manipulators. Established religious, political, economic and social order, under pressure of present day agitation, are in a state of unstable equilibrium. Human wisdom knows not what the outcome will be. The world has never known it on this wise before. In the midst of these cosmic forces which are, sweeping around and PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29. (Associated Negro Press.) FANK consideration of the alleged segregation aspects of the hospital projects sponsored by the Rosenwald Fund was given in an address delivered here Tuesday by Edwin R. Embree, president of the Rosenwald Fund, as a part of a dedication program for new buildings at Mercy Hospital. Mr. Embree emphasized the need not only of increased hospitalization as a measure toward the improvement of the health of the Negro, but also as providing the opportunities for Negro doctors to obtain experience, which is now limited to a shocking extent. The Rosenwald president, explained: "Mercy Hospital is one of the all too few hospitals which combine the care of the sick with the training of Negro nurses and doctors. There are less than a dozen really first-class hospitals which give opportunities for Negro physicians to get experience under good, modern conditions, or even to bring their own patients for care and treatment. "The American Medical Association approves fourteen hospitals for the training of Negro interns. The American College of Surgeons has its approved list seventeen Negro hospitals as meeting minimum standards. Only ten hospitals appear on both lists, and may thus be regarded as generally satisfactory. "Even of these, two or three are so small and ill-equipped that they are approved only by a very sympathetic interpretation of minimum standards. Thus, for 12,000,000 Negroes in America, there are, under the most liberal rating, only ten hospitals of standards approved by the national professional associations for the practice and useful experience of Negro physicians. This is a shocking situation. Refers to Criticism. "A few men in a northern city have recently enrolled the Jalusin Rosenwald Fund on the ground that they are advocating segregated hospitalization for Negroes. We do not advocate segregation of any racial group, but we are keenly aware of the need for training and experience for physicians and nurses." "Unless one is ready to sacrifice the education of the Negro medical profession, he must be forced to least a reasonable number of hospitals where Negro through us, the Negro is looking on in supine aloofness as if he had no concern or did not comprehend what it was all about. He fails to fathom the influence by which he is impelled. We are satisfying our little souls by imbuing them with the group grievances of which the world is bored and to which it turns a deaf ear. We are sixty years behind the procession, and are trying to recall in 1930 the issues of 1870. The man with the toothache is a nausea to his fellowmen who we are most at the agonies of this organing. To him nothing else matters; but it matters nothing to anybody else. The man with the wound must utter the groan else the world would not be aware of his affliction; but too much groaning renders the world hardened and indifferent to it. Making grief and shaking the impotent fist of defiance do not modify the onward sweep of cosmic or national forces. And yet I do not advise cessation of remonstrance against cruel, injustice and wrong; but sage experience teaches us the inefficacy of impotent complains as admonition, remedy of indictment, compulsion of it, seems that the more bitterly we complain, the deeper grow the grievances against which we complain. History shows that group grievances are rarely ever remedied by direct action, but by the wider sweep of indictment and punishment. The Irish bitterly complained of the unjust English overorders for seven hundred years; and yet relief came as an in- physicians may have the best facilities for caring for their patients and may keep in touch with modern medical knowledge and practice." Mr. Embree re-enforces his position by pointing out the experience of Jewish doctors and of women who sought advancement in the profession. "Of course, there are many hospitals that admit and care for Negro patients. General hospitals in the North usually admit members of any race. In the South the public hospitals and many private institutions' have special wards or pavilions. But in these general hospitals, whether South or almost, the professional staff is almost exclusively white. The result is that Negro physicians, except for the pitiful small number of institutions I have mentioned, cannot get the practice and experience which they must have if they are to serve well their race. Others Have Problem. "The same problem has been faced and met by other groups. For example, there are special Jewish hospitals. Jews are and always have been admitted freely to almost all hospitals throughout the country. But Jewish physicians and interns found great difficulty in getting posts in general hospitals. It was chiefly to provide opportunities for the professional group that Jewish hospitals have been established in such great numbers in this and other countries. "The same consideration affects another special group—women. Of course, hospitals admit women patients. In fact, the care of women and children forms the basis for money for an hospital, and these services begin even to be overemphasized. But it was very difficult for women internes and for doctors to get posts in general hospitals, even those that catered largely to women and children. For this reason and for this reason alone, the women's hospitals have been organized. Why Hospitals Are Needed. "Provident Hospital in Chicago and the Flint-Goodrich Memorial Hospital in New Orleans are not planned so that the Negro doctor will be placed under the white doctor, but so that the color of the doctor is not a priority to exploit leading representatives of the group which has made the greatest advances in the profession and has had the greater experience. "It is important, also, that Negro physicians be in active association with the best of their white colleagues. This does not mean the submerging of the Negro doctors to the white profession. If anything, cident of the World War with which her historical grievances had no relation. The Plebeians were at continuous strife with the Patricians for half — Kelly Miller — a thousand years, but equality was attained as an outcome of Rome's imperial policy. The natives of India have indulged in complaint with the British in days of Warren Hastings; but relief seems in sight only when the Brit- it is an exploitation of the white doctors for the benefit of the colored. It is sound common sense for a group, which has not yet the advanced knowledge and the extensive experience, to keep in close association with a group which has had wider experience. "All education consists in learning from those who know more and have had wider experience. Fortunately, it is usually the very best of the white physicians who are willing to give time and attention to trying to help their Negro associates come to full wisdom. The informal association of Mercy Hospital with the Filipos Clinic and other white medical groups in Philadelphia is a most valuable asset." Disease Knows No "Line." Disease knows no color line, according to Mr. Embree, and, if the general health of the nation is to be improved, it must be improved. It must be statistics of disease and death among the Negro population. "In all aspects of health and disease, the dependence of races upon one another is clear and striking. Disease cannot easily be segregated. Pickens Says:- OANP. "Negro Preachers Are Racketeers" (For the Associated Negro Press.) THAT is the silent statement that H. L. Mencken, editor of Mercury Magazine, ever made, which is certainly putting it in the superlative degree of silly. It has become popular among the "smart Alcens" to sneer at "preachers," and especially at "Negro preachers." Certainly, the average Negro preacher, administering to a congregation of washer-women, chaufters, and day-laborers, who have precious little to give him, is much less open to the charge of "racketeering" than are those who are flattering congregations of millionaires and "big business" sharks. And also, and if you please, the Negro is not nearly in the class of the racketeering and sensation-mongering editors, whose financial success is based on the sale-value of their output to intellectual and cultured morons. Only a few seasons ago this same Mencken was sneering at Negro achievement in literature and the other arts. He seems to approve only of the half-underworld output, SPECIAL ARTICLES ish Empire is on the brink of dissolution. Even our racial rights, as much as we enjoy, are the result of economic and political adjustment between sections of the country differing in soil and climate. The Negro needs a larger vision. His grievances will be removed his wrongs remedied by specific, by specific, by specific. This is the day of the syndicate and the merger. Economic, political and social processes operate on a nationwide scale. There is little or no room for class action. The Negro must interest himself in what the nation is interested—how to adjust social order based upon outgrown tools to the demands of a machine age. In this new alignment lies the need that long standing prejudices, whether of more class or sex, will be modified or removed. Let me now give a specific illustration of the foregoing general principles. During the next two years the whole nation will be stirred to its very depths by the fate of the Eighteenth Amendment. Moral agitation will result in political action. While the nation is in fever heat of commotion over the issue of prohibition it will boot the Negro little to stand aloof by his insist on the drama of his special situation, however justly grounded. It will boot him better, a hundredfold better, to join in making the nation dry, with assurance that relief will be felt at all points of racial pressure as a result of this moral reform. Fund Hospitals The germs of typhoid and measles and tuberculosis will not obey Jim Crow laws. No community can maintain health with one great group harboring contagious disease "This interdependence is beginning to be recognized, to the benefit of both races. But we are only at the beginning. Health conditions among Negroes are today much as no civilized country can afford to permit. For example, New Orleans reports an annual Negro mortality of 30 per 1,000, equal to the deplorable records of Bombay and Calcutta. The Negro death rate for the country as a whole is 62 per cent above the death rate of the whites—that for tuberculosis is three times that for whites. In Tennessee the death rate for Negro children of elementary school age is ten times that of white children. Another general measure may show as great progress in the health of this race as the past thirty-five years has in public health generally. Certainly, we do not expect much further progress in general health until disease in this great group of the population is brought under control." or of clownishness and risque smartness. Of course, Mencken is a Southerner, which is not a crime; but the "old South" is still deep in his marrow, which is a misfortune. Some Negro preachers, like some white preachers, and like quite a few white editors, have great humanism. But there is also more need-to-goodness religion and worth in the average Negro religious leader in America than in the religious leaders of any other race in America. "This world's goods" are certainly not so tempting to the Negro religious leader as to the white leader, for nothing tempts you which you know. The motive of the Negro Christian leader can come much nearer the ideals of the founder of that religion than can the motives of pastors owned by millionaires. And the Negro preacher does not promote religion, and does not welcome the Mencken brand of patronizing, which is Bringing Back YESTERYEARS One Year Ago Mine.

Published by Harp & Bros, New York. $4.00. FOR YEARS the gorilla was the half-mythical terror of the African jungle. Too like a man for a beast, too like a beast for a man, "the wild man of the woods" as the natives called him, inspired countless fantastic legends and superstititions. He ruled the forests of inland Africa; when he stalked not even the lion was found. Six feet high, for hundred iron-muscelled pounds in weight, sixty inches round to chest, with arms four feet long, he was stronger than fifteen men. Few natives ever saw him, at least by design, for they kept as far away from him as possible. They had terrible tales of the Nijma, as they called him. He was animated by the spirits of the dead; he hurked in trees and used his feet to strangle anyone who passed beneath the branches; he tore men limb from limb; he pulled down trees and ate the leaves. A gorilla caught a woman in the forest, and carried her off; after some days she escaped and returned home with a wild story about having been misused by the gorilla, the woman, and the man. No woman being could survive such an embrace; but no tale about the gorilla was too crazy to be accepted. Civilized men laughed at the stories and superstitions; they said there were no such creatures. But one young boy listened and believed. He was Paul Du Chailu, the son of Belloni Du Chailu, a Frenchman, who made his fortune as a trader in Africa. In 1848 Belloni sent back to Africa for a free school and came to Africa at the age of seventeen. For three years Paul lived there, learning the business of trading and absorbing African atmosphere. Then his father died. Paul suddenly sickened of Africa and, having been sent to Africa, he came to this country, expecting never to see Africa again. But Africa has a strong power over men who have once lived there; in one way or another she draws them back to her. Paul D Chaillu found everyone in America interested in his own success and bored with another him. He decided to go back to Africa on a scientific expedition. He became an American citizen, studied natural history, and made arrangements with the museum curators of Boston and Philadelphia to send them specimens of strange animals. He returned to Africa and told the natives his purpose they laughed at him. They could not understand how the son of a hardheaded trader could spend his time looking for animals. Finally Du-Chailu convinced the natives, but only at the price of being called crazy. He set out with his escort. The nearer he got to the coast, the more courage ebbed. Everything was disheartening. It rained severely, the food gave out, the guides stole smeared all over with instinctive contempt. Now, let us tell him something: If H. L. Mencken ever has the honor of getting widely acquainted among Negro preachers in America, he will be more selflessness and sincerity, and with a finer type of gentlemanliness than he has found in the circles in which he has been moving. Most of those individuals who have risen to any eminence in the Negro world can remember the absolutely necessary help or inspiration more heroic preacher of a sympathetic, understanding and superior character. We know that therp are many unworthy individuals among Negro religious leaders, but the bereafed statement quoted from Mencken made no exception. It is a falsehood and an insult, not only to Negro ministers, but to all self-respecting Negroes. He not fit to unbuckle the shoes of many of those at whom he sneers as "your holy men." Certainly, he cannot claim to be a fit judge to pass on the worth of Negro religious leaders. The Negro church, under Negro preachers, furnished this race with its first centers of culture and education: in music, drama, politics, and economic examination. How many Negro doctors and lawyers will remember that they got a start in professional practice simply because the Negro pastor of the church which they attended appealed to the racial self-resistance of his congregation and impaired their own professional men? On the other hand, most of the attitudes of the white Menckens would cause colored people to lose confidence in themselves. As a class, the Negro preacher is about the only one left in his profession in the United States, qualifiedly, the doctrine of the "brotherhood of man." The great majority of the editors do not dare it. The most charitable way, perhaps, in which we can receive these silly words of H. L. Mencken is to regard them simply as a professional successor to the preacher's sermon for the "holy men," but neither do we have to "grin" at the unjustified, unqualified and indiscriminate attacks upon the Negro race by a most decidedly "unholy man." We do not have to brook this insult, even though we know that among Negro preachers the Negro preacher plain reacts, and a few racketeers—but fewer than are to be found among the sensation-mongering editors. HUNTER. By Michel Vaucalre. Bros., New York. $4.00. was the half-mythical terror of like a man for a beast, too like wild man of the woods," as the countless fantastic legends are forests of inland Africa; when was found. Six feet high, fo weight, sixty inches round to he was stronger than fifte sthms, and there were no signal gorillas. Then, one day, they found gorilla tracks. The next day was one that Du Chaillu never forgot. They caught sight of a troop of gorillas and shot at them. The gorillas ran and, to Du Chaillu's horror, they looked like men as they ran, and their scream was almost human. In a few days fresh gorilla tracks were found, and the party began the hunt. After some time the gorilla appeared, ten words away his gray eyes gleaming like the lights of hell. Beating his fists upon his chest, roaring like thunder, he sprang forward. The whole party fired, and the beast fled, grooming a man. That was Du Challuil's first gorilla. He shot many more after that and captured several females and young ones. They all died, for no apparent reason, except that they did not live in captivity. Du Challuil, the chimpanzee, was taken to American museums. He then made his way through many tribes; he even lived with cannibals and studied their customs. Then African fever struck him, down and, weak and sick, he came back to America, after three years of exploration. In America and England he was lionized. Before his expedition the chimpanzee was known, were the largest, anthropoid apes known, and he had discovered the largest of all, the great gorilla. Buoon Du Challuil was attacked; German explorer declared that the gorilla trip was a myth and that the maps which Du Challuil had made a second trip, equipped with scientific instruments, were his assistants silenced. The second trip was his last to Africa. There was nothing but trouble all the way. Spells of fever, semi-starvation, the cowardice of guides, hostile tribes and poisoner arrows—all of them wore him out He returned to America and speeched against the tyranny which had immense sales. Some of them were written for children, b them he was known as Ami Faul. He was forever traveling. He made a long voyage to the Scandinavian countries, which were t cold as Africa was hot. He live with the Lappes and drove reindeer instead of horses. He stood at the edge of snowdrifts a thousand fee deep. He sojourned with people is economical that they used the sam table cloth instead of the table cloth without the intervention of washing. Obsessed with the legendry of the Vikings, he studied their relics and wrote book about them. Wherever he went he was popular. His amiable personality was his letter of introduction everywhere, in a smart London drawing-room or in the squash dual of a Laplander. He lived till 1903. Some writers have tried to bble the Dau Chailia because he did not explore as much of Africa as Livingston and Stanley. They miss the man's purpose. His real object was not exploring. He was not exploring the discover strange animals. Nothing can rob him of the glory of introducing the gorilla to the world. This life of Du Chaluil, written by a young Frenchman and translated by Emily Pepper Watts, is a good factual record of the man's career. The reader will surmise however, that much more could be added to his character. With all this smoke there must have been some fire.
